[invocate]

[Damn Noah

The next volley catches the stormbird in the other wing and a leg. The metal monster is mostly grounded at this point, reduced to hopping about on one leg and dragging itself about by what remains of its wings...

Until Li-Na zips in to finish destroying one of the wings with a hard kick. It helps that the stormbird is slowed down by all the damage it's taken from Noah's blasts. Li-Na is having to focus hard, but if Lenalee can keep fighting after getting kicked around, so can she.]

[redarm]

[As Li-Na zips in to finish destroying its wing, Noah will take another aimed shot at its head. He knows he probably doesn't have long until the power wears off, much like his claw when he first started using it, so he wanted to take it out as soon as possible]

Let's take it out!

[invocate]

[With its wings disabled, Li-Na chances taking to the skies again. She leaps up... and then falls, as fast as she can make the boots go. She doesn't reach her maximum acceleration, as she only went about 20 feet up, but it's enough to punch a Li-Na sized hole through it's neck. But despite the nearly severed neck, it's still twitching about.]

Finish it!

[redarm]

Okay!

[Noah will take aim at the hole in the neck, shooting one last volley. But as the shot goes off and collides into the bird's neck? Noah's arm immediately reverts back to it's deactivated form, and he doubles over as he starts coughing up some blood.]

Shit- [More coughing. Too many shots taken for a brand new power]

[invocate]

Noah!

[Li-Na does an aerial that makes her head start to spin again, her boots flashing green as they slice through what's left of the stormbird's neck. As the metal creature collapses and breaks into those little black cubes, Li-Na hurries over to Noah.]

Ahhh no no no, this is not good.

[She doesn't realize she's muttering in Cantonese as she reaches over to put her hands on his shoulders]

[redarm]

[He meanwhile is still doubled over, coughing and using his arm to wipe some of the blood off this face]

Fuck...

[Oh Li-Na has gone off into Cantonese. that's never good]

[Coughs] I'm okay. Just- [coughs again] Overdid it some.

[invocate]

[Blood. Oh that is so so so bad...

Li-Na forces herself to take a deep breath so she can try to respond to this in a mature and calm manner...]

Okay? You are not okay! You are coughing up blood and who knows what else.

[nope, not calm yet]

[redarm]

Uh...English please?

[LI-NA I CAN'T UNDERSTAND. At least the coughing is slowing down, and no more new blood]

[invocate]

[Li-Na blinks at the request... then realizes what she's been doing.]

Oh. Sorry. I was just... worried.

[because, you know, blood]

Should I call for someone?

[unsure if safe to walk back to town]

[redarm]

Yeah, I know.

[it would be worrying if someone started coughing up blood!! Even Noah can get that one. But he'll shake his head]

No, I'll be fine. Just didn't know my limits.

[Three shots...four if he really pushed it and risked recoil. That wasn't a lot to work with. He still need to get stronger.]

[invocate]

[Li-Na bites her lip and reaches out to tentatively touch his his left arm]

It really... takes a lot out of you...

[redarm]

[ She means well, but he can't help but bristle a little. He doesn't want to be seen as weak, or vulnerable. In any capacity ]

I'm fine, Li-Na. Just need to get used to the new power, that's all.

[invocate]

[she presses her lips together and holds in a sigh, withdrawing her hand]

Still, we should head back. I have enough fighting for today.

[redarm]

Yeah....good idea.

[He moves to straighten himself up, now that the coughing has started to subside. He feels like crap, but he doesn't want to let that on so he pulls out his phone and hits the button to sever the combat link. ]

Least the link worked well.

[invocate]

[she'd almost forgotten about the link, so it's a good thing Noah remembered]

Yes, it did. The metal monster bird aside, I think it worked very well. Thanks for trying it with me, Noah.

[and now for them to shuffle their way sorely home...]

[redarm]

[He shrugs, feeling a little awkward]

Sure. Thanks for having me.

[off to home they go!]
