Chii dodges the Upright, unsure of what to do as the others attack it and the pilot doesn't appear to be interested in immediately surrendering. She pauses for a moment, wondering what she should be doing (having not had much experience with being on a battlefield), when, in response to Nikki's astonishing speech, the lupine pilot abandons the Mecha and attacks the pale girl....Niko, was it?...and gives her a nasty gash.
This snaps Chii out of it. Someone is hurt - she has a patient now. Chii runs over to Niko, takes a quick look at the wound, and tries to heal it with her magic abilities. A battlefield isn't the most conducive place for this, but she's got to try to keep it from getting worse, and if possible healing it - battlefields aren't the best places to be walking around with nasty injuries either!
((Chii is using Emulate Power (Accelerate Metabolism) in her Realm (Healing) with Manipulative 3 + gYEdkcac to heal Niko's Nasty Gash))···

"Shit----" Niko takes the hit, having not expected a damn wolf to jump out! She holds her side and growls. "I've had worse, you damn mutt..." When seeing that someone's trying to heal the injury, she lowers her gun and holds still. "Son of a bitch... I could have kept fightin'. So long as my innards don't become outards, I'm good..."

"And here I think I could've taken these fighting lessons instead of just mapping the layout of my city... I really need to work on it, if we'll meet ninjas and stuff on a regular basis." Now, James tried to keep still, but needed to rework his positioning so the wolf won't run away.

Was he... escaping? The enemy - her enemy. Her body unraveled the lengthy weapon just a little. "You." Twist. "Forgot." Flip. "Your.." Once more. "Toy!" She cries out. She spins her body along the segmented weapon and hops out in front of the upright, towards the enemy. That ninja. That stain. "Haaah!" She pulls, trying to make the thing lurch just a little... and then runs to the machine, sliding before it can complete its motion. There's the sound of metal on concrete as she slips across the ground beneath the trussed up weapon - and tries to pull the legs out from beneath it and on top of the traitorous sap.

Clint grins "Bad dog! Hope you learned your lesson" He says and looks around to the other 'combatants', walking towards Niko and Chii.
"Did he got you bad ?" He asks, his hands at his sides as he tilts his head to the side, looking down at the two "Should remember to bring a muzzle the next time I see a stolen Upright stride downtown."

The first to act, once again, is Xue. She pulls on the Upright, and it moves, the metal shifting as it loses posture. Everyone is able to get out of the way. Except, of course, the Wolf, who simply perks an ear up at the sound. He doesn't even turn around. He just suddenly seems to shrink, as the giant Upright crashes into where he was. There's a brief silence...
IvQwH6YP (Endurance 1...Ouch.)
Then, the wolf slowly limps out. He looks around, pulling himself into a battle stance, but staggering a bit, returning to his normal size as he does so. A voice echoes in Xue's head. <Ow...Not...dead...yet>
(Wolf now gains OHGODMYBACK(P))
Then he hears Nikki's speech, and is about to respond...when he gets beaned on the back of the head by the spear. He'd dodge, but with his back...
(Versus Agility 4...and the spear is Weapon Rating 4, so that's 8 damage. With his stress...yeah, that's not happening)
And then the wolf slumps to the ground, unconscious. Well, that battle is done. James didn't even need to surround it!
Chii is easily able to accelerate Niko's metabolism. But she is out of practice on trying this, and she can't adapt her Vitae to the healing technique. It goes wild for a bit, with a flash of red light, as the spell takes it's energy from the nearest other source. Niko. The wound closes quickly, as Niko's metabolism goes into overdrive. Unfortunately for Niko, that means her metabolism needs fuel. And that fuel is FOOD. For a brief second, Niko's face puckers in before it turns back to normal, and Niko feels like she could REALLY use a steak. It's like she hasn't eaten all day! Though something felt...weird about Niko's chi.
(Okay, Niko takes 4 life force stress. Which is fine, since she's got plenty. Nasty Gash is completely healed, leaving her without that Aspect.)
Victory belongs to the heroes. They've recovered the upright, they've stopped the evil ninja, pancakes for everyone! And by pancakes, I mean...
(ALL CHARACTERS AT THE BATTLE GAIN TEN XP!)·······

Kate slowly peeks out from behind the car.
"I-is it gone...?"

"He won't be dancing for a while if that's what you mean." Xue Fang says in response. The ninja begins to undo the lengthy weapon, restoring her sword to its 'natural' state and then sheathing the weapon. "... Hm. At the very least this machine needs to be returned to its rightful owners." She says and looks over the machine once again. Her steps take her around, going on towards the now knocked out opponent. "As for this guy...that just makes things complicated."

"Whoa, it's healed..." Niko looks over where her injury used to be, but then rubs her tummy... "Man... All I did was shoot a gun, but after that I need an effin' steak." She checks the ammo of her pistols and reloads them as needed, before giving them a twirl (safeties on) and sliding them back into their holsters. "Yeah, it's done, and the wolf's down too... ehhh, anyone know any good steakhouses 'round here? Feel like we all oughta pat ourselves on the back and get somethin' good to eat..."

Nikki felt a bit taken aback as she defeat the dog, as the adrenaline started wearing off. She wasn't used to fighting for her life, but so she was understandably a bit shaken. Not that she showed it, doing her best to conceal any aspects of emotional distress. She kept herself looking stoic, spent a brief moment rehearsing in her head so she wouldn't stutter, and told them "Looks like we win." before hearing Kate sound ask if it was over.
She was honestly looking pretty badass. She naturally wanted to help Kate feel better, but she'd look weak if she did something emotional.
... ... ... What kind of man doesn't try to calm a scared girl? Well, man turned into a woman, but she still thought the same way she used to. Well, she didn't have to look emotional. She just had to look cool and reassuring. She walked over to Kate, ready to give her reassurance via cool awesomeness.
And then the words the slipped were "D-don't worry now, he's been taken care of. We'll just give him over to the police." Nikki smiled sweetly and in a reassuring tone, even though Kate might hear a slight stutter and a minute bit of unsteadiness, perhaps reflecting that Nikki was feeling a bit off too. Not to mention, Nikki's smile started to look a bit forced after a moment, although that was more that she was beating herself up a bit inside for giving a mushy response.

Kate smiles a bit, heaving a sigh of relief as her pulse returns to normal and her body stops shaking.
"Whew...glad to hear it...great job everyone!"
She goes about passing out victory hugs to the combatants.

James felt pretty stressed by that whole ordeal, even if he tried to look cool as a cucumber.
"Well, at least we have taken back that upright for whomever it was stolen from... Boy, why he needed to explode these cars? I doubt he just wanted to attract our attention."

And that's when they see the shadow of a figure approaching. Someone is sneaking closer, whispering to themselves. They can't hear the voices, as the figure slowly comes into view, a firearm visible in its hand...
And Officer Bob Sally leaps into view. "ALL RIGHT, PUT DOWN THE UP...RI..."
He blinks.
He blinks again.
He opens his mouth.
He closes his mouth.
He opens it again. "...Why are a bunch of college kids gathered around a turned over upright, with an adorable kid handing out hugs, a wolf over there, and...I...don't...even..."
He raises his other hand, which has a box of chicken nuggets in it. "I skipped food for this?"

Chii checks over Niko, making sure the wound has healed. At her comments about being hungry, Chii blushes. "Eheh...I think that may be my fault. I have not done this on a battlefield before, and the way the healing spell works....it requires energy. Which must come from somewhere, no?"
She thinks about how the lack of food situation could be rectified. "I do wonder if there is a place with good Churrasco around here....". However, she pauses for a second, seeing the now-unconscious wolf ninja on the floor. "...perhaps in a bit - I still have a patient to look at, at least to make sure he will not die nor hurt others." She heads over to take a look at the ninja.
(Churrasco == Portuguese/Spanish-speaking world, but especially Brazilian, term for barbecue/grilling, especially with steaks)

Clint is hugged, looking at Kate and seems as if he is about to say something aswell, but merely ends up grinning "Ey could you pass one officer ? We just did a good portion of your job after all" He replies, unsure if to hug Kate back, to pat her head... or to do anything at all in the first place about her.
