Nybeth nodded to Loki and chanted, "Denizens of the abyss! From ink of blackest night, I summon you! Darkness to me!" He summoned two Legaian zombies and ordered them to move the bombs into the city, then had them move the other bombs as well. The zombies weren't terribly discrete, simply taking the fastest way from point A to point B, and would likely bump into people on the way there. Taking hold of his pendant, Nybeth discretely asked Loki, "Do we require that one to be alive?" He gestured to the Xiphatian soldier by moving his eyes between him and Loki.

Jessica sighed as she heard Tophat's message. "She knows all about what Loki does, there's no way she'd get blindsided by him. We gave her a chance and she utterly blew it. I'm giving her no mercy if I see her again." She said, no small amount of spite in her voice. She closed up the hatches on her arm and worked to reattach it to herself.

Hearing Nybeth's telepathic question, Loki stepped outside the soldier's range of vision and reached for his pendant to answer. We need him to detonate the bombs. After this, no. We will not have any further use for him.
Given how clumsy the zombies did their work, the bombs they set in place were quickly discovered, where upon a city-wide alarm went off. Loki frowned at hearing this, knowing it meant things weren't going exactly according to plan. "Do it." he said to the soldier, who then retrieved a runed black board from his rucksack and moved his hand over it, making the various runes glow. A minute after, just when Legaian forces began moving the bombs, they went off. The three clouds of toxic gas were quickly becoming visible from the mountainside.

"We're not going to have a choice in showing mercy. ...It's kill or be killed." Ness said coldly as she stood up with the sound of the alarm blaring. Even though her contacts weren't in, her irises had the same blood red color as if they were on. "Everyone, get ready. It's time to end this.."
Ness, if she still wore her commbead, would hear a whisper. "Hey Ness, you there? We just need to check in with you. See if we can get some help on a job."
Jessica reattached her arm after closing up all the hatches, flinching a bit as she did so. She flexed all her joints to make sure everything was working properly. She turned on her voice modifier and said, "We should try and get the drop on them. We have the advantage that we know where they are and that they can't say the same." Hearing that Ness was seemingly talking to herself, she asked, "Something up?"
there was a pause. "Well that's a no then. Want us to help out with that tyrant? Me and Xy have been really itching for a straight up fight."
Ness blinked a bit before shaking her head, her eyes back to normal and her voice becoming more soothing as usual. "Sure... We're in Fourside right now and it looks like some sort of bomb went off. Try getting here as soon as you can."
Turning to Jess, she shook her head. "It's nothing..."
Turning to Jess, she shook her head. "It's nothing..."
"Copy. Be there... Soon. We'll keep an ear open for possible radical declarations, in case some fourth party decided to start a merry little war here." Marcus and Xyleena began marching to Fourside, takind side roads and avoiding roads altogether when they could.
Taking Loki's words as basically 'go ahead', Nybeth attempted to creep up behind the Xiphatian soldier who was accompanying them. He drew his dagger from its crystal form on his wrist, then tried to drive it into the back of the soldier's neck.

"Got it." Jessica replied as she continued working. She finished the circle and activated it, setting it to lead to an area outside the borders of Fourside. "At least Tophat can track the guy so he can't get the drop on us."

Ness nodded as she, the Rookie and Tophat all walked through. Before she did, she activated her voice modulator. [color=ff4599] "Yeah... good thing too. If I'm going to die... at least let it not be a backstab..." [/color] She remarked as her eyes turned green while she walked through the portal.
Jessica cleaned off just enough of the chalk outline to break the portal, figuring that getting blamed for defacing a hotel room was low enough on her list of worries to not be worth the time. She then teleported out to where she had sent Ness and the others. She hadn't bothered to put in her contacts or don her eye-patch, as they hadn't left the room and for now she felt they would only be a distraction.
Having no reason to mistrust Nybeth, the soldier never saw his intents coming. When the dagger was plunged into his neck, the soldier fell over, dead. Fortunately, Loki and co were far enough away from the airship for the pilot to not notice this. Loki himself didn't even bat an eyelash at the deed. Instead, he watched the clouds of poisonous gas rise from Fourside.
Tophat set a waypoint for Jessica, Ness & the Rookie using the mental link, pointing towards Loki.
(To Jess, Ness & the Rookie: I will deal with Loki. Vanessa, you hang back and give support fire. When you feel it's needed, move in and join the fray. Jessica, you take James and go in close. Got it?)
The Rookie loaded a shell into the chamber with a clack, then nodded. He set off towards the waypoint after Jess & Ness.
