DreamSword noticed this winged guy's' sudden dissapearance, and then heard him flying out of a nearby alleyway. Seeing as how this wierdo was about to try and cleave him in half, DS sidestepped the attack, then countering with a slash of his sword, its blade being energy flared. After this single attack, Dream would jump back towards Scept.

Energy met energy as DreamSword's weapon struck the Arondight's laser edge, causing a flare of light. Grunting, Adam touched down on the ground with his feet, then pushed up, propelling himself with his flight pack. Holding the Arondight in one hand, the mercenary activated the Napoleon and fired it at the wall above DreamSword and Scept, blasting the upper portion apart and causing the rubble to collapse down at the two opposing players.
As the rubble fell, he spun around while putting his weaponry away and blasting out above the city, back on the hunt for his quarry, Karasawa in hand. He already took out one enemy and delayed two others, so for now, he had nothing but that power suit in his way.

Hybrid cussed aloud inside his suit, as the unmistakable hiss of the Napoleon cannon went off. The blast was soon followed by rubble, no doubt giving Scept and the other dude some extra little trouble. Glancing to the left and right of the street, Hybrid spotted an empty car. The vehicle was a small two-seater, and didn't seem to weigh all that much. Placing hands on the side of the car, and letting out a cry, Hybrid exerted all of the strength his suit had in a large push. The car flung across the street as if hit by a wrecking ball, crashing through the building's wall across the street. The large crash was followed by a cloud of dust and plaster kicking up, then Hybrid backed up through the building directly behind him. Crashing backward through the building another cloud of building materials rose, and two almost identical holes were formed in the two buildings. The clouds themselves were almost impossible to see through. Hell, he'd smash his way into the sewers if he found an opportunity to, and then meet up with Scept at the dock later on.

One hand flung out to the ground in a motion similar to catching a person's fall. A time tunnel erupted from the end of his hand, and his other hand grasped Dreamsword's arm. Kicking off from the ground, with speeds beyond normal human capacity he moved the two of them away from falling rubble. Adam was already gone, and so was Hybrid. Scept cursed under his breath, this needed to end soon.

"What the heck's that guys problem?", DreamSword asked Scept. He wasn't really sure what was going on, afterall.

“It’s Hybrid,” Scept said, glancing around incase Adam were to dive and come to them, “the big one, in the armor. Apparently he has some sort of bounty on his head. We need to get him out of country.” Finally, satisfied that Adam was not near them any longer, Scept composed a PM to Hybrid.
Hybrid, Adam is still around in the area… Meet Dreamsword and me at the docks. Stay hidden, we’ll be there in twenty minutes.
~Scept
“Alright,” he muttered, “we’ve got twenty minutes to get to the docks. Then we’ll be able to get outa here.”

Adam lowered himself to the middle of the street in a quick motion, deactivating the Genkaku no Tsubasa in the process. Looking off to the side, he examined the first gaping hole, noting its length, width, and overall shape. Darting inside, he pierced through the clouds, which were scoured away by the thrusters in his flight pack. Inside, he found the smashed car, and frowned. Darting back outside, Adam turned around and fired into the hole with the Karasawa.
The green ray of energy pierced the gas tank of the vehicle, and the building was obliterated in the resulting explosion. As the car erupted, Adam flew into the building opposite of the one he just destroyed, back on the trail of Hybrid.

An explosion went off across the street as the car detonated, collapsing the building. That seemed to be happening alot in the game. A couple breif seconds of silence went by, then the persuing Adam began flying over towards the other building. No doubt after "his trail" again- but it wouldn't take him long to find Hybrid. The dust cloud still floated about, but Hybrid sat there motionless a little back from the opening in the building. The suit was silent, motor/muscle powered and all. Quietly his 2' dozer blade popped forward out of his wrist, and he remained waiting there. The dust cloud prevented either person to see more then a foot or two, almost perfect for the situation. After a moment Adam could be heard flying through the entrance in the building. Right before Hybrid could be seen, he lunged forward with the dozer blade, surprisingly fast, with enough force to punch through a few walls. Even if Adam managed to throw up that shield there was the chaingun in Hybrid's other hand. Once the shield went down he could fire it at whim, and there was no chance of it missing from such a short distance.

Adam's eyes darted over to the side as Hybrid lunged, and widened in surprise. Shifting his position, he narrowly dodged the blade, but the weapon cut a large gash into the torso area of his armor, and scraping open the coat and skin beneath. Grunting, Adam pushed himself back as the blade went past, aiming a glowing, open hand at where the blade was connected to the armor.
The Palma Fiocina fired, launching an azure, wrist-thick beam at Hybrid's armor just before his thruster pack activated. Kicking off, Adam rocketed outside of the building, readying his beam rifle to attack.

Hybrid growled again as the beam hit his wrist, landing at the base of the blade. Some sparks and metal shot up, and the blade flew like a piece of shrapnel into the side wall. A portion of the wrist plate also melted off, turning red and dripping off some metal. The remaining energy from the attack burnt his hand and wrist some more, and in the back of his head he began wondering how he would clean all the fluid. That, and he would need to completely repair the blade. About that point his inbox dinged in the helmet. Growling at Adam and his inbox Hybrid shot off his chaingun for a moment, then advanced farther back into the building. Upon reaching the rear wall he smashed his left arm into it, then pushed on through into what seemed like an apartment.

Growling, Adam activated the Napoleon once more, slinging it up under his left arm. Alright, he thought angrily, You wanna play dirty? Let's play dirty.
A large portion of the Napoleon's long barrel split open along its side, widening out. Adam quickly slid the Karasawa inside of it, docking it in place with the trigger and grip pointed out of the Napoleon's right side. The weapon closed back down on the Karasawa, forming Adam's Multi-Phase Beam Cannon, and t he barrel began to charge with lethal energy. Gripping both handles, Adam aimed the cannon down at the building, and squeezed the trigger. Energy was sucked into the cannon for a brief moment, and then spewed out in a dazzling red-and-azure wave of plasma.
The energy raced through the air, down into the building and easily punching through. The beam cut through multiple floors as Adam aimed the weapon erratically, cutting apart the building, as well as its supports. If that didn't bring the building down on his target, he didn't know what would.

(My bad for not posting for so long. I'd been procrastinating for quite a while.)
The apartment building gave off a strange, low rumbling noise, as if it were groaning at all the abuse it had taken. As the rumbling got closer to Hybrid's floor it began giving off a signature hiss, no doubt the sound of a laser burning through the building. Moments later some panic and adrenaline hit his body.
The kid was cutting apart the levels, horizontally, to have tons of material crush him. All of the material was gaining momentum as it crashed down. At best it would just flatten him, perhaps damage his suit but render it functional, and trap him. The rumbling and hissing got closer, as confidence was eaten away. Instinctively he smashed one of his feet down, through the floor. The foot went in with little resistance, meeting no ground beneath the floor he was on. Realizing that there was another floor below him, or more, he pulled his foot out. He could take the rubble and be trapped, then fall even farther down belly first. Jumping was almost unachievable in the suit, but he could still do the whole jumping motion, shifting momentum from the muscles up.
Doing so, he then bended at the waist to apply even more pressure down, and broke on through. The sudden drop was startling. Managing to straighten out as he fell, Hybrid hit the second floor with even less resistance. Not bothering to wonder at peoples expressions of him suddenly falling through their ceiling, he began bracing for impact. Around five seconds later he pushed on through the final floor, into the parking garage. The suit hit the concrete like a meteor- and the resulting sound gave off a noise very much like one.
The whole upper torso of the suit flew toward his feet, straining his back within the suit. Catching the weight onto the elbows of the suit, he managed to stay upright. The legs however took the most damage from the fall, severely screwing up the gyros and muscles. One or two things within the legs also snapped. Hopefully no cord would suddenly amputate his leg upon him walking. Slowly standing up out of the minature crater, he cast a glance around. The garage seemed fairly large, but there wasn't any nearby ramp up. He would have to spend some time traversing the garage.
Farther up ahead the rubble hit the basement floors, decelerating but still dropping. Seconds later the tons of rubble hit the concrete parking garage roof, stopping entirely. The large hole that Hybrid courteously made widened however, depositing plaster and various other materials around him. From up above it would look like a giant square hole, going down maybe sixty feet, full of rubble. Inturesting.

Adam tsk'd as he viewed the carnage, unable to locate the target in the debris. The suit was easier buried, or had managed to escape. He was forced to wait several minutes for things to settle down before he could approach the ruin, lowering himself using the flight pack's main thruster. He located the most stable, and largest, chunk of concrete and landed, then looked around while bringing out his micro computer unit. He quickly looked up at the given data on the target, and frowned.
"That suit could've easily survived the collapse of a building," he muttered, scrolling down the list, "So I doubt he's dead. Dammit."
He walked forward to the edge of the rubble, and looked down the hole. Something was moving down there; probably his prey. He disengaged the Multi-Phase Beam Cannon and returned the Napoleon back to the binder rack, and fired a few pot-shots down the hole with his beam rifle. He meant for the light given off by the beams to allow him to see better for a brief moment, but if the beams struck his target, so much the better, right?

The wooden arm at the entrance of the parking garage snapped in half. Cars honked a couple times at the 16-wheeler truck as it drove out into the street, merging with the rest of the traffic. Brien's suit sat happily in the back of it- magically the rear doors were holding shut. In a sparse minutes time he had been able to pull open some doors of a truck, breaking the lock, then exited his suit. The rear doors took a little while to jam, to stay shut and keep the suit. The front drivers door was electrically locked however. The electronic door was easy to hack into and unlock, then he had proceeded to hot-wire the car through the dashboard.
So, now, he sat in the awful traffic. It was even darker out then before, and still raining, but there was quite a bit of traffic around the smoldering ruins. Out of the side window the burning walmart could be seen, fire engines parked all around it. Brien was lucky he had located the suitable truck so quickly, and even luckier for the couple minute pause. Because of the size he was able to stash the suit in the back of it safely, then leave quickly. The exiting tunnel from the garage ended up being across the street from the demolished apartment complex, probably adjoined to another building. No matter, he was happy.
Brien's now scaly looking and pink left arm sat lightly in his lap, the hand resting open, slick with some sort of bodily fluid. The outside skin of it was to the senseless numb point- but the alive nerves beneath the skin were still sparking with pain. The large burn covered his whole arm, and somewhat ended around the top of his arm, below the shoulder. Beyond that point his black jacket and t-shirt were fine. Eventually he would find a healer or hospital, and some d**n bandages before then. Taking his vision off his arm, and back to the traffic, a small grin appeared on his face. It had been several minutes, and he was wondering what the bounty hunter kid was doing. No-matter, he felt relieved. His truck fit in perfectly with the traffic. Remembering the ding from earlier, he flicked open his in-box. Steering the truck with a knee, he managed a small PM back to Scept.
I may have lost the bounty hunter. I'm on my way, be there soon.

Scept and Dreamsword traveled quickly, using a mixture of shortcuts and time tunnels, quickly arriving at the dock with plenty of time to spare. As the PM came in from Hybrid, Scept quickly composed a small plan and convinced the dock manager into allowing a large cargo shipment to be loaded in on his way to Valtheran. In return, Scept would speed up the engines with his electricity, making the journey much quicker.
When the truck arrived, Scept and some others surreptitiously moved the suit into a container, with the night covering them and protective measures set up, no one could have seen what was done from a distance. "Alright, Hybrid. Your suit is concealed in the container, go below decks, Dreamsword and I will be above keeping an eye on things," Scept said to Hybrid very quietly as the container began to move, blending in with numerous other ones.
"Right, now that that's all squared away, let's get above decks. I'll be powering up the engine, you keep an eye out for Adam," Scept said to Dreamsword and quickly made his way on to the ship of Dock 11. He quickly found the engine, nodded to the captain and placed his hands on the massive engine for the cargo freighter of Dock 11. Other ships were starting to leave now, 12 and 9 had already left, they had better hurry this up. Electricity flew from Scept's hands and lit up the night, not very secretive, but at the speed he would be able to get this moving to, it wouldn't matter.
