Description: HOUSE CALL! Unknown assailants ruin what is supposed to be a nice and relaxing day at the SECRET base. But it's not so secret now that Angel and K9999 have torn through it, kicked down the door, and shaken the place up! What happens is ... violence of course! But who shall triumph over this landscaping nightmare?!
Times have not been good to Urien.
Each passing day seemed to bring more failure. The leader of the G-Project had only grown more sullen and insular with each failure. From the botched warehouse robbery (an event that was, truthfully, not -quite- a failure, but which had been built up in his mind to a catastrophic one indeed), to the loss of Adon and the beating he had suffered at the hands of Rolento, each step he had taken in Southtown was a further step towards humiliation and defeat.
Say what you like about Urien, however, he is not a man to stop doing something just because it is a hideously bad idea. He had committed to this venture, and he was going to see it through to the bloody end ... so long, of course, as said bloody end was only something that was threatened to his -minions-. The man himself was beyond such concerns. Pah. As though anyone in Southtown could -really- pose a major threat should he choose to leave. No. Urien considered himself here purely to continue his ongoing work. And, of course, to recoup some of the losses he has already incurred.
His lodgings are surprisingly modest for a man of his own self-proclaimed stature. A small, nondescript family home nestled in a quiet suburb of Southtown proper. The only clue that it is his current base of operations is the tendency of a good dozen or so Large Professional Men to come and go throughout the day. The head of the G-Project himself is currently engaged in one of his favorite evening acts: Brooding. He has summoned Mary to his side for this important nightly ritual, and at the moment, he is indulging in a glass of wine, in utter silence in the living room of the house proper, sat in a large high-backed chair. He is obviously deep in thought, and those thoughts... are not pleasant ones.
Down the hall, part of the wall sags a bit as a heavy metal based object is hung against the wall. The umbrella, momentarily, is in it's proper place, the woman who places it there walking down the hall, high heels tapping against the floor before she gets to the rug. The rather poofy dress is dealable with, even if it's not the very best - Mary rather likes it, even if unwieldy.
Of course, there is Urien in the lounge as normal. Picking up a glass, Mary walks a bit past Urien, plopping down nearby him, be it couch or another chair, as she leans back, the hat tilting, hitting the back of the device she sits upon, and rolling off.
"Ya'll seem uptight - I'm sure thing's ain't gonna stay this way forever.. they ain't enough to really cause any problems for ya'll anyways.. Just a bit of bad luck, I'm sure." She raises her legs onto the good furniture, and doesn't bother to take off the heels. Oh, the poor furniture! The poofy dress seems to move with her well enough, though, even as she smooths it, one hand holding the drink away - before she takes a bit of it.
"After all.. ya'll took care of that annoyin' woman .. unfortunately I wasn't quite a match for 'er, that dear little witch."
She licks off the red wine that happens to stain her white lips and face - albeit it leaves her with some color, at least momentarily.
On the other side of things, the NESTS Cartel seems to be doing pretty well for itself right about now, don't it? They ganked a school,, Igniz has been going around melting faces at his leisure, etc. etc. The only loss they've seen that Angel is aware of right now is that thing at the TV station, which she was supposed to defend personally. But y'know, that was a very minor thing in her mind, and she wasn't even reprimanded for it!
Thusly, the amiable assassin seems as carefree as ever when she and K9999 arrive on the scene. Sure, it kind of sucks that they had to park their motorcycles a ways away in order to be a little more subtle in their initial approach, but they're not here to impress nobody by breaking the doors down with killer wheelies! And also, fighting all of Urien's dudes at once would take too long.
"Oh hey hey, I got the thing working! That's gotta be him there in the family room or whatever. The big one. So if we just go straight to him... I guess we can stop sneakin' around. Feel free to bust a hole in the wall, K9999!" the ever-pantless Mexican girl shouts, throwing her hands up with complete disregard for whatever expensive piece of tracking equipment she was just fiddling with, and letting it clatter to the ground before starting to approach the building more closely.
After what happened to the LAST motorcycle he drove to a fight, K9999 was more than willing to leave his own personal propery far, far away from the target location. Some people might think he'd lost control in the Howard building, but it would have been nothing the likes of which if Cody had done and done those...horrible, horrible things to his own precious bike. He'd have had no time to throw a punch at Geese, but full on attempting to decimate Cody. To hell with so call teamwork there! Speaking of teamwork though--
The bluehaired boy squinted at Angel, then down to...whatever it was she was using to locate the man they were supposed to beat up. And he shrugged. Sneaking around wasn't really his style, whereveer possible, he preferred the direct approach! Urien would be a fool to have absolutely no kind of monitoring equipment about where he chose to rest, not to mention security incase of a, well, break in. Did this bother the clone? Not one bit! "Fine whatever then. Just don't take long!" Grousing back with a bit of a petulant grimace, he stalked on towards were the pair were relaxing.
Of all things though, he walked up to where the front door should be, and rang the doorbell. She suggested he bust through a wall right? It was something he did often in the past, sometimes, in a Koolaid suit! After a second or so of waiting, he politely announced himself over, "I'M COMING THE FUCK IN!" And would summarily try to just boot the door in with a flying kick.

"Bad luck." Urien repeats, darkly. "And incompetence, these times--."
The doorbell? In the middle of HIS monologuing? Well, we can't have -that- now, can we? There is, of course, security in place. Measures designed to alert him to people on his property, and ensure that the house was not knocked over by a simple burglar. Too much security, however, and suspicion would be raised. Low-profile was the name of the day.
And then the door is kicked in, taking the goon who had been going to answer it out too. Urien's eyes narrow, and he stands, not even saying a word to Mary, just looking at her. The meaning is clear: Kill this idiot.
In the next room over from the hallway, there is a flash of light visible underneath the door for a fraction of a second...
And then, apparently, Urien has decided to approach this in a calm and dignified manner, given how pissed off at the world he is. He has intended to approach this problem, by ploughing clean through the wall of the hallway with his shoulder, and carrying on with a loud -ROAR- of anger. "HOW -DARE- YOU!"
And... unless K9999 is incredibly quick, he fully intends to carry on and plough the intruder into his lovely home through the -next- wall, too. Expenses be damned. He LIKED that door!

Incompetence? Oh for heavens, she hopes that is not her that he means. Yet she isn't worried about it as the doorbell rings. Oh, what perfect timing. She stands up, throwing her legs to the side and over the side of the couch, goes to take care of such a thing - if no one else would. The goon seems to, but it seems her attempt at taking care of it is at least helpful to get a good look of the goon as he's sent flying past the little doorway, the separation of the rooms.
That he is full on flying says volumes about what kind of armed attempt this /is/. It's not normal, and when the door clatters off afterwards, Mary goes the opposite route of Urien, grasping the parasol she hanged from before, the metal it was hanging on giving out in a sigh of relief belief, creaking before collapsing forwards. She spins is slowly as she follows Urien, the man breaking through the wall.
Oh, just /darling/. "Well, ya'll certainly know how to entertain the house guests!" She follows after him, standing in between the hallways - not following Urien all the way, raising the front of the parasol, pointing it at K9999 .. and pressing the handle of the umbrella.
The sharp point at the front spirals out, trying to dig into the soft chest meat of K9999 - if it can get past the vest.
It's such an ugly vest.
"Ay..." is all Angel really has to say about that, lightly smacking her palm against her forehead. But not because she disapproves of K9999's choice of action! She was only making a suggestion, after all. It's just that she was all set to climb in through the hole in the wall she'd already pictured in her mind and laugh triumphantly and stuff alongside of him! Now all she can really do is... jog over to catch up to the disagreeable clone and try to see what kind of trouble is waiting on the other side. It's what she gets for dropping that high-tech scanner thingie, she supposes!
"Heyyy, wait up! I wanna make a cool entrance too y'know!" the white-haired cowgirl says in a mock-pout, scuffing her boot on the doorstep just behind her partner in crime, and then trying to more carefully peer inside to see what's what.

That was...unexpected. K9999 was in the process of stepping over the shattered remains of what had been a fine looking door if he cared about such trivial things, and toeing the useless goon with a booted foot... when he was broadsided by Urien causing wanton destruction of his own household?! MADNESS! "SHI--GHGAUUUGH!" He tried to brace himself against the rampage with sore results. Sore because Urien hit like a freight train, damn near knocking him off his feet...Instead the man steamrolled the clone into the next wall and into whatever was beyond that! Another room, or the yard, whatever it was the NESTs experiment was flat on his back. But only for a moment!
"I'LL DARE MUCH MORE YOU--" What the hell was that?! Whatever it was K9999 was having none of it, snapping his hand out with a roar, "STAY OUT OF THIS BITCH!" the wind swept up as if on command, and barreled towards her and the projectile, swatting it away and on trajectory to smash into her if she wasn't quick enough. The debris from all the impromtu renovation would be added to the attack, hopefully Urien had house insurance.
Urien is, for the moment, quite focused on the angry clone. Mostly because this was the man responsible for beating down his door, and honestly, Urien could use something to blow away some of the incredible burning rage he has been feeling recently. Nothing helped to vent some of that rage like beating the ever loving hell out of the first person to come through the door, after all! Even better when they so helpfully give a -reason- to beat them around.
Of course, the fact he'd returned fire on Mary didn't help. Urien -liked- Mary.
The Greek warriors response is quite simple, really, he steps forwards, and throws one meaty fist forwards with as much force as he can muster, aiming to slam the blow powerfully into the side of K9999's head, and send him sprawling back down to the dirt (as they are, now, fighting on the front lawn of the property). It vaguely occurs to him that, after this, he's going to need to move to a more inconspicuous location.
... He had -liked- this house. GRAR!

Hmm? Mary glances over towards K9999 after the shot was fired, tilting her head - and watching on as the wind swept up, barreling towards her and sending it back towards her, with the force of that man's chi behind it. Oh /bother/. The woman/subject of G-Project's work pulls the parasol upwards, and tries to weather the storm.
It's.. effective enough. Why, she doesn't seem to do it quite /well/ as the force nearly teeters back off her feet, despite the hunkering down .. the bullet managing to graze against her - but it's the energy that's far more troubling, and she is a boat awash in it all, battered by the forces!
Staggering backwards, Mary tch's, shaking her head. "Oh just how nice o' ya to do that... Greetin' if I ever saw one - but mind your manners. For .. ya'll forgot to wipe your feet before coming in." Pulling back the parasol, Mary shakes out her arms, before eyeing the woman peering in - the white haired woman, of all things.
Oh well, she'll do!
As she peeks her head in, a chain snakes out, attempting to wrap around Angel and pull her inside - whipping her around in the cramped house, if she's not careful, before Mary drags her outside and tosses her skywards, with a crack of the chain.
"Uninvited and you're worried about somethin' like that? Ya'll have such an odd look on things."

Uhh, yeah, it looks pretty messy in there doesn't it. Angel is just in time to see the seven foot tall Greek that is target numero uno charge past the open doorway and into K9999's side, and smashing him all the way back out the other side of the house. And before she can make any move to help, Mary is trying to like, shoot him with that umbrella! What should she do!?
"...huh? Oh, hey. Sup. I'm just gonna, so save my friend 'afore he gets himself killed. And oh, don't worry about the floors I'm sure you're a really great cleaning lady!" Angel calls back, with a wry grin, letting the chain that's thrown her way hit against her that first little bit, but quickly moving to swat it down and out of her way like it's nothing on her way back out. "Later Red!"
Once she's got both Urien and her own partner in her sights again, the Mexican chick rushes the bronzed giant and tries to spin into a roundhouse packed full of momentum, that then chains into a quick hook punch, and then another punch that comes from overhead, and then leaping up to try and get ahold of one of his shoulders and holding tightly as she kicks off of his chest with both feet and hopefully pushes him far away. "Hey guy~!" Combos can be friendly too!

Oh yeah? OH YEAH?! Well K9999 didn't like her one whit! Sure, he'd only just met her, but K9999 sort of had a default button when it came to his opinions about people. Ninety-nine percent of the time it was 'hate/dislike/rage', the other was penciled in with Angel. Urien didn't have much to say after he shoved a proverbial birdy in Mary's direction with an attack, infact he was awefully direct. Just like him, no suberfuge, no trappings just plain ol' I'm gonna beat you into the ground ya' turd. And he could appreciate that.
Having felt the strength behind his first charge, the clone wasn't quite ready to feel how a plain condiment free first felt to the face. This time he got his footwork into place, and blocked with the outside of his forearm, skirting the rest of the fist over his head into it, he grunted. Angel'd just made it by then into the thick of it, and he lashed out before she could throw her first kick...by summoning a flash of crescent roaring flames with a snapping guesture. "I'm gonna make you BURN! THEN ruin that twit you got back in the house for good measure!"

Urien is... angry. Very angry, in fact. Angel comes at him, and seven foot of muscular Grecian rides out a storm of kicking, punching, and finally, throwing. Though he is beaten and battered by the display, Urien doesn't slow down in the least. In fact, when he hits the ground, he is already turning to face the projectile that had been flung at him by K9999. The self-proclaimed God throws his arms out wide, in a motion that is, quite likely, familiar to Mary now.
"You will do no such thing, animal!" Urien roars, "AEGIS REFLECTOR!"
And with that, a bright barrier of pink light springs up, and the flames simply... bounce back. The large man sneers, and straightens himself up, arms raising as he settles into his stance. "You dare come into MY home and begin making threats? No. By the time I'm done with you, hell will seem like a blessing. I will NOT suffer this disrespect any longer!"
"Well, cleaning ain't a problem.. just have to whistle while ya'll work, it also helps to pass the time if you make it fun somehow." She notes, as Angel swats down the chains, and rushes straight towards Urien. "But now ain't that wrong of ya. Runnin' off when I'm not even done!" Mary follows after Angel, the large dress following her as she moves forth.
On the outside, Mary has to go back IN, and that's about when Urien is noticed in the three man melee of fire, energy, pink lights and half dressed mexican chicks. Now ain't that everything! But she has no time to gawk. With K9999 being his violent self, Mary follows after Angel.
She may be an angel, but she's anything but one of mercy - something has to be done about it! "Darlin', come back here this instant!" She pulls back the parasol, running after Angel as she kicks backwards, into the air.. and well, that just means it's a pop fly! Spinning around, she intends to swing the parasol straight into Angel's chest as she falls - an attempt to make that peppy woman a little /less/.
"Ya'll have to stop bouncing around this INSTANT ya'll hear? I am not cleaning up any messes YOU make!"

But then, she is catching a lot of air now, and putting herself at such a distance that it's gonna be a little bit harder to get back over and help K9999 with the big guy again. Especially with Mary back out here trying to distract her! ...and skewer her with a parasol!
"You again? Well fine, it's not like you ain't on the list too. C'mere!" Yeah, that probably shouldn't be the line of the person getting stabbed at whilst trying to stick a landing. But she makes it work! Not only does she stop catch the umbrella between her palms and soften the blow she takes to her sternum, but she yanks up on it to pull herself down *faster* and make an attempt at doing a most excellent handstand on the top of the Southern belle's head, scissoring her legs out to the sides, then doing a twist with her hips that ought to make the girl's neck seriously hurt if things go Angel's way.

The long and decidedly cruel smile that'd crept up onto K9999's face faltered at the outright announcement of what was to come. Aegis reflec-- REFLECTOR?! Aww shit. How many times had he seen other NESTs agents use that before, knowing what was going to happen didn't exactly save him. The size of the blast of fire was too large to avoid outright, and he stood his ground, allowing the searing heat to wash over him. It scorched his clothing, burned his skin, and even crisped part of his hair into a sizzling black crunch. All in all it served to fuel the infamous rage that K9999 was known to project, and all that happened before? Yeah, that was nothin'!
"Oh yeah? OH YEAH?" Angel could follow what was going on outside by the play by play insults being tossed about no doubt. "I HAVEN'T BEGUN TO DISRESPECT YOU YET!" The air churned with the reservoire of energy building within the clone, thick with omnious premonition. K9999 laughed, then spat on the ground as he leveled a feral grin at Urien, a grin that was tinged with most assuredly...insanity. "I'm going to bring you hell," It seethed, lapping at the barriers that barely held it all in, "I'm going to show you THE WORLD THAT I LIVE IN!" Howling that last, it erupted in a wild expanding sphere or energy, twisting and curling between conflicting hues of red and white, it rushed out like a tidal wave to consume any in its path, including Urien.

Urien's response is... interesting. As the clone rants and raves, Urien simply sneers. When the blast of energy comes rushing forwards, there is no visible response until the last moment, when he braces himself, and raises his hands to cover his face. The blast burns him, to be sure. The attack leaves him smoking gently, but he doesn't seem particularly angry. Instead, he flexes the fingers on his hand for a moment. Looking contemplative. The tall man smiles, and it is an entirely cold and empty thing. A dark expression that promises... a great deal of pain to come.
"Is that all?" He asks, seriously. Working a kink out of his shoulder, he pulls himself up to his full height, brushing some debris from his arms. "Why are you here, mongrel? If that is the world you live in, then surely you are not eager to leave such a comfortable and easy life."
This said as he begins, slowly, to walk towards K9999. At a leisurely pace, he takes his time. Not seeming to be in much of a hurry.

As she fails to strike Angel, Mary finds herself being grasped at - the umbrella is stopped, and Angel pulls herself faster, Angel hand-standing.. and then wrenching her neck downwards. The lady's neck is wrenched rather heavily, and down she goes, even if she tries to somehow move with it. Truly, it's her best bet, but all together - she's taken down.. and hard.
"Ya'lll... " Hack, cough. Mary gets on her hands and knees, bent over on the ground as she stares at the floor- oh, how she was taken advantage of! Oh, how strong this lady had been! Oh! How much it truly hurts. But none of that truly matters to her at the moment, Mary forcing a foot to rest against the ground, staring up at Angel. "Ya'll .. god quite some legs on ya... and you ain't too bad.. "
"Certainly much more fun then the rest o' them!" She shoots off the ground, swinging the parasol like a club, she aims to slam up against Angel's frame, swung hard and fast, in order to send her skywards - if she felt the need to lean over her, it'd just be worse. If she can get that... Mary would follow up by leaping into the air, swinging over and over again, slamming the metal of the pole hard against her sides, legs and arms, before striking her towards the ground - aiming to have her land hard.
Not that Mary would really MIND it! She loves such things!

Angel should probably stop with the gymnastics. Her feet having touched ground for a while now! Because see, after she twists and tries to give poor Mary whiplash with that move, she goes flipping right back into the air in the opposite direction. But it's not to go after Urien again or anything. She's still paying attention to the redhead. Enough so that when she comes back to the lawn she sees the parasol girl coming after her with her weapon again.
"Ohh, gracias~ So long as we're both having fun. No one said I have to kill you or nothin'! But I can't go lettin' my friend get messed up either, y'hear!? I might hafta get more serious..." And just after saying that, she... well, disappears, avoiding Mary's assault entirely, and then reappears behind her trying to hook a leg up and catch the girl behind the knees.

K9999 was dumbfounded for several seconds. Obviously he was expending a hell of a lot more momentous that just occured, instead Urien is on the ground writhing in pain or missing chunks of flesh, or well you know. Suffering? And then back with the insults, back to the status quo of input sass, get rage, et cetera. The right side of his face twitched, as if he'd been physically lashed. He wasn't even paying attention to Angel and her own fight, focused entirely on Urien...and not his house either. Which was pretty smart considering how the clone was liable to brutalise the establishment if he figured out it'd hurt the man more to have his property ravaged than his person. K9999 was a little one track sometimes.
"Here? I'm gonna kill you..." He began to pant, as if he were being strained in some manner. None of the force he'd just unleashed had entirely left him, it was there building once more, and Urien was going to walk straight on in to it!

Urien sneers at that. Obviously, the large greek just wasn't impressed with the clone. All the promises of death in the world hadn't actually done much to him in the past. And now? Now he was mostly angry that he would -dare- to speak to him in such a manner in his own home. "Is that so?" He asks, pulling himself up to his full height, he, too, remains entirely focused on K9999. Mary could deal with the irritating woman, he was sure. This man had broken his door.
"You have no idea who you are dealing with, do you?" He asks, levelly...
And, quite suddenly, he's coming forwards as fast as he possibly can. K9999 had better think fast, because if he hesitates for a moment, he'll find himself swamped by the self-proclaimed God of the G-Project. Urien aims to grab him by the waist, and simply lift him up over his head. If he can manage that...?
Then it's an /incredibly/ powerful powerbomb that awaits the clone, as Urien simply smashes his head and shoulders into the ground with as much force as his augmented body can muster.

Ya'll think you're just go an be done with me? Ya'll have another thing coming!" It's quite painful, y'see. She's pretty strong, y'see!
But then she skips backwards on heels, hop-scotching backwards as she twirls once, "Absolutely marvelous, darlin'! Much better than that ol' brute."
Mary suddenly leaps into the air - intent o doing SOMETHING. Clouds begin to brew around, above her, watery chi raining down on it and coating it as she leaps up. The chi activates, glowing, a brilliantly odd color as she begins to come downwards, towards Angel. The parasol leads, spinning downwards, bladed.
She may just crash that concoction of chi and steel straight against Angel - to land!
"Ya'll ain't done with me til' I'm good and tuckered! Ya hear?!"

Angel narrows her eyes a bit when she sees Mary start to jump up, and then just kinda wrinkles her nose as what happens next. This kind of stuff was probably in the file that Diana handed to her on both Urien and his uhh... cleaning lady. But either she didn't read it thoroughly enough, or she just forgot! Because she's totally surprised to see the clouds appear above the orange-haired girl and rain down on her little bladed umbrella.
"What the heck is-- Owww! Did you just cut me? Not cool! And this..! This ain't clean water is it? Gross! I think I'm 'onna really hafta hurt you now!" the Mexican cowgirl huffs indignantly, wiping a bit of blood off before trying to catch Mary under the chin with a rising palm-strike, then swiftly raising a leg up to drop her boot down on her and send her back toward the ground. And if she can manage that much, she'll wheel herself forward into a heavy knockout punch.

It wasn't the first time K9999 has heard that question before. Did he have an idea? Yeah, sometimes he did when he bothered to read up on the targets, other times he played it by ear. The point was, it didn't make the slightest difference in how he fought when it came down too...because the clone could never be bothered to fight with a clear mind and patience. Sometimes it worked out, sometimes it didn't. Many had underestimated the power behind the NESTs mutt, and come out crushed beneath the heel of his boot if he even bothered to leave them breathing. Urien however may be proving himself one of the 'lucky' ones, where luck only skill had everything to do with it.
The scrappy lill' underdog was ready for the charge again, knees bent he interposed his hand within the encircling grip allowing him a chance to break the firm hold. Only barely, the man was a tank. "I don't give a shit who I deal with!" Hissing out between clenched teeth, he felt his lungs constricted-- a shadowy glimpse at what could have been. "YOU'RE ALL THE SAME TO ME!" Pushing foward, he threw his hand back as it reformed with a twisting of flesh into steely metal-- a vicious looking spear that he aimed to ram right on into the man's abdomen with his momentum.

Urien would be lying if he said he was -entirely- unimpressed. After all, it takes a certain kind of skill to be just that insane to continue snarling insults when being beaten and battered by the man himself. It was impressive! Unfortunately, it isn't impressive enough to make up for the massive amount of disrespect that K9999 has displayed. Urien is -pissed-. And the fact that K9999's arm-spear has stabbed up into his gut only annoys him further.
Urien's response is pretty simple and direct. Although he is forced to release the raging clone, and even stumble back a couple of steps under the sheer force of the stabbing blow, he doesn't stay back for long. Soon, he's coming forwards again. This time, his attack is far more measured. Aiming to grab K9999 by his hair, and lift him into the air before whipping his head forwards to smash into the clone's nose with shocking force, before hurling him away in an overarm pitch. No fancy words of his own, this time. When dealing with men like this... words really are pointless.

As Angel huffs, Mary landing past her, taking a few steps forwards, she shakes her head. "It burns well, doesn't it? The sizzling is a wonderful feel... if only such a feeling happened more often, ya'll agree?" She turns to smile at her, as the cowgirl goes to catch her under the chin with a palm-strike.
It doesn't work completely.
Mary takes the palm strike, knocked backwards, but she moves with the assault, pulling Angel backwards, off, into the air and swirls her around. The rain rains down, acidic in nature, as she continues the spin. "But we're here to have fun, ain't that the purpose? Ya'll change your mind?"
She whips her into the wall - before this ends with Mary unfortunately..
getting landed on by Angel, boot first as she rebounds, knocking the wind out of Mary and sending her sprawling as well. "Y-Ya'll .. got a powerful pair of legs.." She didn't avoid it completely, anything but.
"Hells no! What kinda drugs are you on, chica? I musta had you figured all wrong!" the white-haired NESTS agent calls back, making another face. The sizzling had already stopped by that point, but just thinking about letting it happen again made a little shiver run up her spine. So of course, when Angel least expects it, right there when she's already committed herself to a chaining several attacks into a combo, Mary makes it rain again. "Ah..! I can't believe you w-- Why would you *do* that!? Imma smack you good!"
But not with just her bare hands or her funky boots anymore. There's a nice big chunk of the wall Urien slammed her partner through not too long ago just layin' there waitin' for her to pick it up, with sharp-looking pieces of rebar sticking out of it and everything. So she goes for it, gritting her teeth and hissing at the way the acid rain is still eating at her while she ducks down and hefts it up, then lunges for Mary with it in tow, aiming to swing it up and swat her away with it, possibly even shatter it against her face! "Now who's the one makin' a mess? Huh???"

It wouldn't be the first time that K9999 had managed to impress someone-- but not with something truely complimentary. True to his nature though, the clone didn't care what anyone else thought. He existed for one purpose, and it might one day be the end of him...if his superiors didn't get sick and tired of the times he /did/ runamuck or fail. He grinned once he felt the satisfying impact of the morphed arm meeting flesh, his retrieved gloved hand glistening with blood when Urien retreated. That was how it was supposed to be! One piece at a time to carve him up...
...And not with him somehow flying through the air to land in a tumbled heap not too far away, his face bleeding profusely from a broken nose, the pain of which threatned to blurr of his vision. His ruined hair was likely now missing a small patch of blue, which certainly added to his dashing fine looks. What remained stronger than ever was the hatred filling his gaze, and pure murder. When he bared his teeth, it was a sneer of crimson-stained and he lurched back to his feet. A hand briefly touched his face, fingers spasming away from his flesh, and he snarled deeply...a purely primal sound. "Hghht..." Unable to breath properly, he roared out his near incephrable outrage, "URRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHDIEEEDIEDIEDIE!!!" Coupled with that was the unloading of loud explosive bursts of chi-rounds, all aimed at Urien in a spectacular last forray...since his body was by now sapped of his strength, it'd be up to Angel now to clean up the remains!

Well. That was unexpected.
The sheer violence of the assault is enough to beat and batter the metal man. Urien finds himself lifted bodily off his feet, the chi-blasts burning harsh scores across his muscular body. By the time it finally ends, Urien is left badly hurt. But he's certainly not out of the fight. Bleeding from dozens of small cuts, there is a definite... dangerous air about him. Electricity crackling about his form. He was in excruciating pain, but, it is with a great deal of amusement that he notes the clone is no longer moving to fight him. He cracks his knuckles, twisting his neck to the side. That had -hurt-. A very great deal indeed. Now, he was going to take his revenge.
Reaching down to pluck up the downed K9999, he rounds on the two women who were continuing to fight. Lifting the clone high above his head, his lips twist into a nasty sneer.
"TAKE." He roars, "Your -pathetic- dog, and LEAVE. Before I decide not to be so -merciful-." With a sudden overarm motion, he hurls the unconscious body of her partner across the intervening distance, with as much force as he can possibly muster, aiming to hammer home the fact that... well. He might well be hurt. But he was a long way from finished. His whole body was aching and bleeding... but he was sick and tired of being beaten by these underlings.

Hell nah!? "Ya'll disrespectin' me now? ... I thought we were a bit closer than that.. Pity, y'know!" She adds, as Angel makes her face. But what's worse? Angel is struck, over and over again - before Mary lands, watching Angel go and grasp that large piece of rebar - Mary isn't quite fast enough to slide out of the way of the weapon, the rebar being swung upwards, hissing, and swatting for her. Slamming against Mary, the albino like woman goes staggering backwards - it shattering against her face!
"Y-Ya'll did what?!" Mary staggers, attempting to get rid of the sudden PIECES in her face all over the place. "Gh... W-when I can see ya'll you'll be sorry!" For the moment, she has to hang back - she's tired, and right now, unable to SEE her.
Much luck it would do to try and got right back at her!
"Boss ain't .. gonna be able to help right now..." Opening her eyes, the blood slightly running over them, the acid rain begins to drip on her eyes, sizzling the materials away - but not harming her at all.

Angel is sorta in a pinch here, if you didn't notice. Her partner was in /huge/ trouble fighting that giant Greek executive all by himself, and she had been given very little chance to help him because of Mary here. So yeah, she panicked a little. And the acid rain stuff didn't help any! It just made her want to try and incapacitate the other girl that much more. The part that really sucks though, is that even once she manages to get that far, K9999 is already going ballistic, which is the one thing Diana told her to try and prevent from happening.
"Wuh-- Ah shit! What did you /do/!?" the wide-eyed Mexican agent cries. And it's totally unclear whether she's talking to Urien or the unconscious Kyo clone, whom she soon finds herself having to try and catch.
This, she manages without being completely toppled over, but it still looks like it hurts. Not that she really seems to care so much about that as she does setting the poor mutant back down somewhere out of the way, and getting right back in there to try and make up for not rescuing him while he was still awake to see.
"Oh, no way are you getting off that easy! If you guys woulda let me make the cool entrance I wanted, I'd prob'ly be in a good enough mood, but-- I gotta at least make the exit look cool!" And how better to do that than rush in throwing every single attack in her repetoire in what seems like a constant, flowing stream of punches and kicks. Hooks, uppercuts, roundhouses, and even weird backflipping kicks meant to scrape the toe of her boot down the entire front of the G-Project head's body. She even at one point tries to stab her fingers into his throat, and then throws all of her weight into an exaggerated haymaker meant to knock him back as far as possible.

Urien doesn't... actually take Angel terribly seriously. That much, at least, is clear. All this talk of 'entrances' and 'exits'. The head of the G-Project simply sneers at her words. What had he done? He'd /crushed/ that pathetic fool, as he -should- have done. How dare she even think that she might be able to even -begin- to threaten him? He cracks his knuckles, and steps forwards as she comes at him, intending to simply /take/ the blows and wait for the right--
And then his nose breaks.
Each blow hammers into him, forcing him to stumble back. It turns out, it is incredibly difficult to remain focused and intimidating with a broken nose. And it ensures that any vague attempt to even begin to roll with the haymaker is shattered. Simply put, Urien goes down, bleeding profusely from his nose and head.
For a moment, it doesn't look like he's going to get up.
And then, suddenly, that ambient electrical energy is surging up again. A visible corona of it surrounding his form. Bright purple power surging all around him. He forces himself up to his knee. Still definitely hurting, he can't -stand- the idea of allowing her to get away with such a degrading victory. How... DARE she hammer him so hard? He will NOT accept it! He will -destroy- her.
There is no fancy speech, no more arrogance or pomp and ceremony. Just a raw, bloody howl of anger and pain.
"DIE!"
And with that, he hurls his hands forwards, a blast of raw, sheer power roars forwards, a huge, indistinct orb of power surging towards Angel, and aiming to engulf her completely.
...and with that, Urien has given it all. No more power left to throw, and his body no longer able to remain upright. A last look is given to Mary, that speaks... well. Volumes about his hopes; all of them pinned on Mary, as he had obviously failed yet again... perhaps she might, yet, be able to scavenge some kind of dignity for the G-Project.
Thud.
mary gets to see once again, and what she sees involves Angel on the assault, rushing in towards Urien, assaulting him with a constant stream, strike after strike smashing into him, continuing the assault, again and again as she pushes the fight between her and Urien to a impromptu end. Mary winces, watching on, streaks of red sliding down her face.
"Oh darlin'.. what a downer." Especially as Angel manages to stab her fingers in, throwing her weight into the strikes.
Sliding out the chain, Mary wonders, perhaps, if things have not gotten a little over her head. There's not chance, really, to worry about it now. Is there? "Ooooh you certainly did a number on my boss... but maybe that's all you're going to do here, today." The chain sudden;y lashes out, attempting to grasp Angel by the leg, to pull her legs out from under her.
It's not strong like Urien's assault, but there's a second reasoning behind it. "Oh, boss.. ya'll don't need to worry! I've got it covered, don't y'all worry."

Angel is just... really hard to read like that. She always has been. But then, this was an ambush, so it's not like Urien would've known that in advance or anything. NESTS expects people to underestimate her, since she doesn't throw fireballs or straight-up maul people right out of the gate. She even seems to fight fair most of the time! And that's what makes it seem so ludicrous when she flips out and kills someone like a ninja. "Ohhhh, so your face is your weakness or somethin' huh? I just took a wild guess that time! Anyway, I'm out. You can stay down or get up, I don't care. I did what I came to do. You chumps are gonna think twice before messing with the Cartel again, riiiiight?" she asks in a teasing, snarky manner.
Only know, Urien has to go and throw ball lightning at her. And then on top of that, Mary tries to toss more chains at her! But she's not having any of that, because it's like she said, she's on her way out. She bolts over to her fallen comrade (faster than lightning!?) and hefts him up onto her shoulders, then pauses to click a button that she fishes out of her top, which signals an extraction team to come and get them. However, at some point her shirt must've gotten damaged, because it falls open completely in front, just as she's turning to make faces at the Southern chick! Thankfully she still has something on underneath, but that probably doesn't matter to somebody that talks about manners and such as much as her!

"THINK... TWICE?"
The voice is surprisingly clear, considering the fact that it had looked like Urien was down and out for good. The large greek has forced himself up from the floor again, as the perceptive would have noticed the characteristic darkening of his skin... hasn't actually faded yet. He is, in fact, badly beaten. But. Thanks to the awesome power of G-Project enhancements... he is clinging on. Barely. But the wounds are already visibly healing. His hand coming up to roughly *CRACK* his nose back into place.
Urien's eyes fall to Mary. Were she not here, he might be tempted to be more... groveling. After all, he wasn't beneath conceding and begging for his life if he had nothing to lose. But. Mary had stood by him, and truly believed what he had portrayed as his true abilities and motivations. Mary was a valuable servant, not just for her impressive abilities- after all, she'd fought this woman to a standstill... and this woman had almost taken his damn head off. That said a lot about her worth.
No. Urien isn't going to allow that to go unchallenged. Not when he has such a terrible amount to -lose-. Forcing himself up to his full, impressive height, he cracks his knuckles, and works a kink out of his shoulder. He'd failed /so much/ lately. Where was the strength that was his birthright? Perhaps... he was missing something, but, he couldn't -afford- to fail again. Even if he suspected his body was on the brink, if Angel was going to leave, it was not going to be because Urien conceded her point!
"You ... honestly think that /pathetic/ display is enough to make me kneel?" He demands, completely ignoring the fact that, uh, well, it was enough to lay him out just a second ago. "Take this message back to your masters. Tell them that whatever good will there may have been between myself and them is -gone-. Tell them that if they persist in sending their toys to infuriate me, I will not be so lenient on them next time, and they will be getting them back in pieces." His lips curl up, his eyes blazing fiercely. "Tell them -now-, girl. Or I'll make the point myself, using your head."
Well, you have to hand it to Urien. Even when the world is clearly trying to tell him to stay the hell down, he simply refuses. Whether or not he actually has the capability to make good on his threat... well, he certainly seems to think so.

As Angel manages to bolt over to the fallen K9999!, Mary's chain length manages to miss it's target! Oh darn! "Ya'll a greasy one, ain'tcha." She notes, as she listens in to Angel's words, pulling the whip chain back, closer, taking a step by step approach, pulling in closer. "Ya'll did what you came for - but I ain't really done."
She walks over, peering to Urien as he continues to speak, ordering things from Angel - and the flighty girl, why, she may not have half a mind to even respond correctly. She can't be sure, truly, what this woman even wants! Beyond the mission, of course.
"Ya'll just sit -Oh heavens, that ain't very nice." She notes.
"Children may be watchin', bless those dears. Let me help ya'll cover up."
She dashes towards Angel, trying to hook the handle onto her, before sliding about her on the slight slick she left, of the water, wrapping the chain around her chest and stomach - hopefully covering the SOMEWHAT exposed breasts that she is wearing - in a bra! While wet?

Well, lucky for Urien-- no wait, not just Urien, more like it's lucky for everyone involved, that Angel doesn't really care whether or not she gets the last word. And she'll even probably be nice and tell her superiors just that! She'll just be acting silly and making fun of the guy's voice when she does it. "Okay, whatever dude! My ride is here, so--"
And then Mary comes from totally out of left field and tries to hook her with that umbrella, as black choppers come hovering down and making everything super windy. "...huh? From /where/? Don't tell me you guys had kids locked up in that house? Man I don't even want to know!" she yells over the loud propellor noises, and, like the crazy person she is, /tosses/ K9999 up to some other agent who was just about to climb down the rope ladder and help her out. He's a good catch though so it's okay, and she turns out to have just enough time to deflect Mary's attack with both forearms, though it kind of stings because she doesn't know how to parry, and she isn't expecting chains, and water! "H- hey! Back up! Aren't you at least tired!?"
Grabbing the rope ladder with one hand, she loosens the chain and then pushes the redhead away, while turning her chin up toward the guy holding her passed-out friend, who then tells the pilot to take them back up. If Mary isn't loose by then, that's her own problem!

"MARY."
Urien's voice cuts through the din quite audibly. Pissed off as he is, he has no intention of pressing the attack when Angel clearly wanted to leave the area. Though it was... tempting, if he did, he'd almost certainly wind up shamed further. After all, if he didn't expend himself further now, he could just let his augmented body repair itself, and be ready to inflict revenge in a very short time indeed. Not to mention the fact that Mary was, also, quite clearly hurting. He did not relish the thought of having to nurse her back to health before he could make another move. Instead, he folds his arms across his chest, and narrows his eyes up at the incoming helicopters.
"Enough." He barks, "Let them run if they want. We've got more important things to worry about."
A dark look is cast towards the broken house. Unfortunately, it seemed that he'd have to relocate his operations. Though that was always going to be the case now that it seemed NESTS had located them. And, of course, he'd have to kill whoever had been stupid enough to lead them back to his base, or whoever had betrayed him. Frustrating. Still. To Urien, there's only one really important message to take away from this... although he was hurting, /they/ were running away from /him/. And taking the broken body of one of their operatives back with them.
Perhaps it's only in his own mind. But Urien was willing to take his victories where he could find them, these days.

And she falls, backwards, tumbling off as she slams and hits the ground.
Laying on her back, Mary gives off a cough. "Ya'll don't know how much I wanna do that right now, darlin'." There is no more rain - and Mary simply stares upwards at the clouds, as they disappear. "Looks like I .. ain't able to take care o' the feisty ones... But.. least they left.."
Laying is good, and she intends to do that, for now.
Man, though, Angel's something alright.
