Here we go again. (NightHawks and those who Know Nikki)

"Don't worry, I've held moving meteorites with this baby. It'll hold her. Just tell me where you want her dropped off and---"

As Mark spoke and the ferret again tried to break from her imprisonment, suddenly a girl entered the room. One who Mark remembered sharing a rather special encounter with, who he had also kind of abandoned when he left the team, without so much as a farewell.

"Jacky!?"

Mark exclaimed suddenly, and his hope ratio spiked suddenly and for a spliut second disappeared allowing a waviness or rather weakness in the bars holding Nikki.

Ooc: Am I up? Or is someones else's turn?

OT: it's foalfires, but feel free to go.

As Bane came close to the glowing cage the were ferret snarled angrily. Nikkis ears were flat against her head and she was so close to her prey yet trapped in this cage. The giant ferret roared in Banes face and charged the bars, right at the moment of weakness. Nikki howled in surprise and looked around for a breif moment. Seeing she was loose she snarled and crashed through a window and into the streets. Crowds of people ran in fear as the animal ran further down town.

Bane walked in, it had been a long while since Haruhi had seen her, actually the two girls never really had a chance to get to know each other other than the doctor/patient routine.
"Hey Bane, watch out for Nikki, we're trying to find a way to calm her ferret form down. Wanna help?" She then tilted her head slightly in confusion as she saw Bane's reaction when she saw Mark. She didn't let her curiosity get to her though and kept her focus on the real big issue they had in front of them. Just then a crash was heard as Nikki escaped her blue imprisonment.

"oh no!" Haruhi ran up to the window as the were-ferret leaped out of it and ran away from the building. "Great, come on we have to go after her!"
She turned around and then looked at both Mark and Bane, "Well aren't you guys coming?" She then leaped out of the window after Nikki.

Bane immediately knew something was bound to go wrong when Mark saw her and when the blue cage had a blitz moment. Haruhi updated her on the problem with Nikki, and Bane knew she had to do something to help. Before she could respond yes to Haruhi’s question, Nikki and bailed out and was disappearing into the crowd. Haruhi asked if she and Mark were coming. Well she going wasn’t she…. Bane knew she should go help as best she could, but she wasn’t sure how she would be of any service. The thought process wasn’t working like normal so instead of thinking Bane also hopped out the window and onto the street looking for Nikki and Haruhi. She located Haruhi and jogged up to her. “Any ideas Chief?” Bane certainly had none.

Mark reached out as if to grab at Nikki, but she got away...What was more interesting was that a giant blue hand didn't make a swipe for her? Powers weren't working right, must be because of Bane. Had his emotions all mixed up, however, as he stood there staring at his ring dumbfounded everyone else had left.

"Good job bone head, you come back and manage to mess things up."

However, Mark couldn't let this deter him, he had to help retrieve Nikki and restrain her like he promised. Just needed to remember to have hope. With that in mind, Mark ran out through the same exit as the others and attempted to fly, but was having a hard time even getting his blue aura to form around him. In fact, the only thing he HAD managed to do was get his mask on.

"Well this is kinda embarrassing..."

The ring was leaking energy like a faucet, Mark just couldn't handle being next to Jacky at the moment.

Nikki ran through the town, roaring at citizens who were unlucky enough to get in her way. The ferret turned down one of the busy roads and jumped onto an on coming car. She quickly began tearing at its roof and shredding the metal roof. As she saw Bane and Haruhi chasing after her. She snarled and spat out a bit of roof metal. She then took off again and ran head long into a group of pedestrians who were to slow to run out of her way. She grabbed one up in her jaws and turned down an alley, taking the screaming pedestrian with her.

(...hello? Did this one die?)

Ot: banes turn, skip?

(Uh, anyone gonna poste? Bane? Inn? Ninja? Hello?)

" Dang it, thats exactly what i was trying to avoid!" Haruhi kept her chase on the were-ferret. She needed to find a way to free the screaming woman from Nikki's jaws. "Hmm," As she ran she kept glancing around to see if there was anything that would catch her eye that they could use to either bait or distract the ferret's attention.

Catching a glimpse of a butcher shop, she ran in and saw the butcher chopping some chicken legs off of a whole skinned chicken. The butcher turned away to grab something off the counter behind him and when he turned back the whole chicken was gone.

"This should work." she held the raw chicken as she continued her pursuit. when she was feet away from the ferret she began waving the chicken infront of her. "Hey!! *whistle* Look what i got! A nice big chunkin fat piece of chicken just for you! Come and get it!!" She really hoped this plan would work.

Mark followed on foot, but he was a normal human without the ring. However, they had seemed to have left Bane behind, who wasn't as athletically equipped to be as fast as the former football star or their feline leader. As he got farther and farther away from Bane, Mark started to focus and his emotions were starting to get under control again. However, he was still too far and not able to stop Haruhi from doing what he considered to be a very risky and suicidal plan of hers. "Hey, Haru, what're you doing! Stop, get away, she'll shred you apart!"

Nikki turned her attention towards Haruhi with the victim still in her jaws. She snarled as the girl began screaming at Haruhi to save her. The were ferret got tired of its squirming prey and flung her off towards a wall where the lady hit and fell unconscious. Nikkita then turned back to Haruhi and lunged at her and the chicken she was holding, roaring viciously. It was obvious that if Nikki got her teeth on her new leader, she would tear her to pieces. She then heard Mark screaming at Haru that her plan was suicidal and to get away and the were ferret paused for a moment and turned her sights on the ring user. She snarled and glanced back at Haruhi then back at Mark. She then lunged at Mark and roared as a fake out and took off after Haruhi again.

"It's better me than anyone else!" Haruhi kept drawing the were-ferret's attention. It seemed to have worked, the ferret let go of the victim.
"Bane, can you see if the girl is alright?"

Wait why was Nikki running at Mark....oh wait...never mind. It looked like the chase was on. Haruhi started running. She knew how risky and dangerous this was, but she was going through with it. Her goal was to at least get her to the edge of the city or somewhere uninhabited. Haruhi knew she wasn't fast enough on two feet to outrun her, but if there were obstacles that a giant ferret would have trouble getting through then maybe. Haruhi abruptly turned left trying to trick the ferret.
