The Serpent Strikes
Vadoma gave the members of the Serpent Society instructions on what they were to do. They were being paid quite handsomely to do a small job. The job was to destroy a factory in the Boston area.

It was a simple plan. Get in and do as much damage as possible. Then get out before being captured.

Martin crouches low on his disc, weaving about and racing after her amidst all the other fighting and destruction. At least the time spell gives him some protection from debris and stray bullets too.

His disc turn so they're all laying flat, and begin ramming into the ground under her then thrusting up, trying to get her and some debris airborne. It's still destructive, but perhaps not as much as if he was accidentally taking out pillars or blasting ceilings.

Not that he's too concerned about destruction. 'Save the factory' was the order. He assumed that meant from the invaders, nobody had specified to stop them from destroying it. He'd assumed the priority was the get the bad guys out.

Even with her increased strength and durability, this is starting to hurt. She keeps running, ending up airborne at one point, grabbing for a railing and hauling herself over, scraped and burned by another projectile.

She heads for the pillars as best she can, trying to make sure as much damage is dealt to the supports as possible. Even if she's caught, the Society can free her - but is much more likely to do so if they've met their objectives.

What sort of fight was this? After all that talk about injuring each other she was just going to keep running? No no, that wouldn't do. Racing like this was fun to an extent but it wasn't a real fight.

So he changes tactics, and instead of his discs ramming into the ground under her, they start trying to herd her into smaller spaces. Because if he got her there he could expand one of the discs and block off her runs. At least that's what he hoped.

What it is is a fight between two people with entirely different objectives. He's trying to herd her, she's trying to make sure this place comes down behind her.

An actual fight... had she opened with it, she might have had a chance. Once the mage really gets going? No way she comes out of this ahead. But she scared him - she could see it back there. And now he's doing the destruction work of any four or five of the Society.

As she gets an idea what he's doing, she heads for their team teleporter.

"Time to call it." she insists.

She's scared him all right. But likely not in the way she thinks. Every time someone comes close to touching his gloves there's a moment of sheer panic because he knows what might happen. Well, more accurately, he knows he has no idea what could happen. He could've just as easily accidentally turned purple as he could've given her some gruesome death. Both unintentional but when it came to his hands he had less control than he'd like, and they were too unpredictable. That was the fear really, what his hands might do.

He's still trying to herd her but it's looking unsuccessful as she veers off to someone on their team. Hmm not good if they're teaming up. He still thinks he can take them both, but he doesn't like the idea of it. Entirely because he doesn't feel like he got a real fight out of this one.
