This is a raid! [Ob/Kyte]

Kuro watched as his plans backfired, and instead of finishing Singed, he had only shown his hand, revealing his abilities to Singed. That only served to make Singed much harder to kill.

I won't let him get away. He knows too much about me to live.

Kuro landed, and while Singed started backing away slowly, held onto the cable. He started running behind Singed as he ran another electric current through his other cable. He turned on the oscillation mechanism in his far away blade to get it loose, and started retracting it to him, it flying through the air.

Simultaneously, Kuro jerked the cable near Singed upward, causing it to loop up to Singed, hopefully looping it tightly around his neck and shocking him into unconsciousness, where Kuro would kill him.

Failing this, Singed would still be in a very bad position. With Kuro's change in position, he and Sasha could attack from both sides, while Singed would have exponentially increased difficulty dealing with them both.

OOC: PS3 double post. I apologize.

BIC: In addition, Singed seemed to rely on his magical sword for defense instead of agility, so if he moved to slice the cable, Kuro would loop it around the sword and disarm Singed instead.

For a final fail-safe, Kuro now had his high-frequency blade in case Singed rushed him.

This fight has been dragged on long enough.

Singed thought as he watched the assassin attempting to circle around him again. And although the maneuver had been in plain sight, the mercenary leader had to keep an eye on both him, the cables that proved having electricity ran through them, and the battered machine girl, of course, which kept coming after him relentlessly, even after taking so much damage. But these two were cautious, and in their cautiousness, they have lost precious time. Singed backed away, in a direction he would be departing both from the assassin and Sasha, towards the line of shops across the road. And that's when he saw the cables coming his way!

- Cautious... but cowardly.

He didn't bother trying to cut the cables with the blade itself. Instead, he swung it, and unleashed a explosive wave, that would bat away and cut the cables before they'd even get close enough. Another fire flickered around the hilt, the blade being recharged with the wielder's magical energy once again, and then ... Singed made a run for it! He rammed into the glass window of the shop behind him, cutting his coat against the sharp edges in many places! There was nobody inside - people having fled when the heist had begun. But ... then a certain sound was heard.

*CHK CHK CHK CHK CHK!*

Singed didn't know what it was, and ducked, before rolling behind the counter. A hail of sharp needle-like projectiles flied over him, hitting the wall and the wooden counter in front of him. But the merc wasn't fast enough - a few needles had pierced his coat and caught him in the shoulder. It was Sasha who opened fire. She kept walking towards the shop where the criminal was hiding, her index finger pointed like a gun. And out of it, the needle fire was coming.  With a grunt, he pulled them out, a trickle of blood going down his arm. Luckily, it wasn't his main, but still ... hurt like a $%@#. Singed peered out from behind the counter, keeping an eye for his foes, and called out through the radio:

- I need evac now. Don't know for how much longer I'll hold em off.
