Roundhouse kick, because I'm violent~ ‹3

[dangit, I'm knocked out again... I'll be back to post after school today, less than 12 hours hopefully, unless I stay after for art club...]

Erru smiled as she took the bullet, dashing forward and slashing Lokar's hands with the knife. "A girl in there is key to a case I've charged myself with. I won't let anything happen to her..." She took out two guys' legs with a quick kick and slash. "I'm tired of watching everyone I care about die." Mom, dad, this is for you... She gave a defiant, bloodstained smile, holding her arms out at either side openly. "You can take the shot now, if you give me your word that Misaki won't be harmed. I have no quarrel with your men, Lokar." She dropped her knife, watching his face. "If you don't promise me that, I'll fight you until the second my heart stops."

Erru climbed up another flight of stairs, then looked behind her. She didn't know who had been following her, but she figured she'd lost them by now. "One more flight until I reach the tracer..." Erru glanced out the window; Lokar's men were out there, and they didn't look like they were allies of those in the hotel. She wondered if Misaki had been brought here by a protection agency, or if they were just enemies of everyone who'd been at the airport. Cursing under her breath, she took the extra bandage wrapped around her leg and unraveled it, rewrapping it around her abdomen so that she didn't get anything on her open wound. She knew from experience that you should never leave an injury uncovered in a fight. And she meant to fight as much as was necessary. "Alright..." Erru gripped the windowpane, hoisting herself up, and kicked out the glass. She vaulted through the opening, switching her grip at the last second so that she was facing the wall. Silently, she leapt to a lower sill, barely keeping her balance. When she was low enough to avoid serious injury, Erru hopped down from her ledge, landing on her feet beside Lokar's vehicle. She drew her pocketknife. "I don't know what you guys are doing, but if it involves attacking the people inside, you might want to change your minds."

Erru ran past the entrance of the airport, chasing the faint signal on the tracer she'd slipped Misaki. She knew that if they'd found it, the girl's captors could lead her into any trap they wanted, but she was sure they wouldn't know of her even if they found the device. She followed the signal to a building with a single sign that read, 'Kurosawa Hotel.' She scanned the doors and windows. "Alright... Now to get inside..."

Erru accepted the bottle, but ignored Orchard's last statement. If he's one of those looking for Aeyra, I'll need his help... She wrung out her scarf, soaking it in the new water, and replaced it on Mark's head. She turned to Ren. "Do you think he'll need a paramedic?" She was concerned, but more worried about what Lokar was doing. She didn't know what had happened while she'd been knocked out, and Misaki was gone. She still didn't know where Sakila was, or if the others she'd contacted were safe. Memories of her last mission flooded back, and she closed her eyes, fighting nausea as she recalled the case crumbling around her, the lives lost, of those she'd thought of as friends... It's my fault for interfering... Erru stood. "Get him any help he needs," she told Ren, dusting off her pants. "I'll get the scarf back if I run into you guys again, but I've got to take care of some things..." She ran off without a glance back. "I won't let it happen again..."

Erru saw the man lying on the ground. "Sir! Are you alright?!" She knelt beside him, checking his vitals. He was exceedingly warm, and his breathing was quick and shallow, but he didn't appear to be badly injured. Psychosis, maybe? As she studied the area, her eyes landed on a serviceable vending machine. Approaching it, Erru gave it a quick roundhouse kick, shattering the glass. She took a bottle of water and ran back to Mark, taking off her scarf. She soaked the cloth in water and draped it on his forehead. "You'll be okay..."

Erru smiled. "I'm glad I could find one of you..." She frowned as she registered his expression. Shock, fear, regret.... She reached into her pocket with her working hand and pulled out a piece of dark chocolate, proffering it to him with a blank nod. "Here, eat this... It helps when you're first exposed to things like this." Erru avoided mentioning names, death, or the state of the victims. "Before I was distracted and made trouble..." She glanced at the red stain on her shirt, willing herself to quit worrying. "I was looking for Ren, Aster, Sakila, and a few others. Have you seen any of them?" Poorly hidden concern flashed across her face before she added, "I'm Erru, by the way."

Erru stirred, groaning, "Why am I on the ground...?" She frowned as she remembered what had happened. "Dammit, they're gone..." She layed on the ground for a minute, studying the tranquilizer in her shoulder and looking at the scene. There was the chaos of the victims and police, but several figures were still and calm. With a sigh, she tried to push herself up, failing and crashing into the pavement. Her right arm was still totally numb. "Great... gonna be without my shooting arm 'till this damn tranq wears off..." She shifted, forcing herself up using her left arm and legs. She ignored the dart protruding from her shoulder, mumbling, "If I can't feel it, yanking something like that out I could do more damage than good..." As she studied the area, Erru noticed Ren. He didn't appear to be an officer or a victim, and yet he hadn't evacuated... "Found one, but... where's Sakila?" Erru bit her lip, worried that her decision to confront Lokar had cost her an ally. With a sigh, she approached Ren, asking, "Are you here to help Aeyra?"

Erru felt the tranquilizer hit her shoulder. "Damn it..." She turned, not toward the shooter, but to Misaki. She held out a tracer. "I'm E-" She fell forward, losing consciousness, and landed on the pavement.

Erru paused, turning. "Sh**!" She stood in front of Misaki, blocking her from their view. "Keep your word and leave her alone..." [gonna wait now for Misaki, Ren, or Aster to post~]

Here's another style drawing of Edwin~

Erru sighed. "Glad that's done. Couldn't bluff much longer..." She, swayed, shuffling to where Misaki was, holding her side and wincing. "Are you alright, miss?"
