Kuki still didn't pick up on trouble starting in the parlour, even as Ella fired her blaster rifle. When Dalahar called out, however, Kuki jolted, potentially accidentally scratching Fernand in doing so. Should this cause Fernand to drop Kuki, they would hold on to his sleeve, then apologise.
Either way, Kuki then looked to the excited Raz.
Code:
"You're not actually thinking of going in there?!"
The man Dalahar reached for snarled up at him and leapt onto his body. Though it would be comically ineffective, he tried to claw at Dalahar and pull him apart.
Anik's attempts to douse the fire would have absolutely no effect, as the flames were being constantly produced from the burning people. Instead, the water would simply evaporate. Her kicks would stagger the people she hit, however, the people she attacked would take advantage of Anik extending her leg, and would start clawing at it.
The tattooist recovered from being stunned with seemingly no ill effects, and turned to face Ella. His expression was contorted with rage, and the fire surrounding him flared up.

"Of course I am! A Psychonaut wouldn't back down from this." he said as he got close enough to see the attackers. Focusing his psychic powers, he attempted to pick up one of the attackers going after Anik with the telekinesis power he displayed earlier.
Ella looked over her shoulder as she felt the heat of the fire. Cursing, she twisted around while grabbing the sword on her back. Holding her blaster rifle only with her left hand, she activated the HF-blade and slashed at the tattooist. As she did, she shouted to the owner; "Call 9-1-1!"

If the people weren't completely out of it, they would notice that Anik did not bleed from the clawing, and they had no real possibility to claw into the skin, as even though Anik's pants started to get torn, under it, the skin was harder than that of a normal humans.
As she noticed that her attempts proved largely ineffective, Anik started to bring more strength into her kick, and started to punch people as well, hard and quick enough to let them flying through the air. She did not seem to take much effort, even though her kicks and punches would be strong enough to move about 500kg of mass.
She stopped splashing the water, instead using a constant swirl of it around her hands, body and mostly the face to protect herself from the heat.
One of the patrons clawing at Anik's leg realised the lack of effect this was having, and wrapped his arms tightly around her thigh. His body heat increased, as the flames around him grew. Another was sent flying by a combination of Anik's attack and Raz's telekinesis. Apart from that one person, however, Anik's punching didn't send anyone flying. Instead, she simply cracked their bones, causing dead bodies to fall to the ground.
Candace thrust at one of the patrons, causing him to turn in Candace's direction. No blood exited the wound, however a fluid that burned like some kind of fuel did pour forth.
The tattooist grabbed Ella's wrist with both hands after the blade entered his body, using his considerable strength to prevent her from cutting clean through his body. He then simply kept holding on, trying to burn Ella's hand. However, if she tried to pull away, the tattooist would let go.

"But... "They wriggled about uneasily, looking towards the tattoo parlour.
Code:
"... Maybe we should get behind something?"
Code:
"In case there are any stray projectiles."
"Ah, crap! What do I do here?" The fusion blasts would only make the situation worse. She said, trying to think exactly how she could help. Her head darted from side to side, her lack of combat skill showing. "Ah! Call 911! It must be an emergency contact." She said out loud, realizing that the owner was too preoccupied with being on fire. She ran off to find a pay phone nearby and used some spare change she had on her to dial the emergency call.
"Yes, I'd like to report a fire at a Tattoo parlor." She said, and continued to deliver the details of where the parlor was.

"FUCK!" Anik called, but her killing someone actually had a beneficial effect for her - she felt the hearts around her, finally 'seeing' them, so she was able to target her attacks better.
The one wrapping his arms around Anik's thigh caused pain and burns on her skin. Anik grabbed his arms, and got them off her thigh, ignoring the pain it made her. Unless the person had some kind of super-strength, Anik would easily be able to do so.
While blood was running down her cheeks from crying, she stopped punching and kicking as hard, trying to use less lethal kicks again, which, if someone looked at it closely and knew it, might recognize as taekwondo moves. She tried to knock the people off their feet, fighting her way forwards.

Fernand took Kuki's suggestion, and hid behind a corner of a house, occasionally glancing to the fight.
"... I hope they are okay ..." he said, his voice trembling.
Nina stuck the pamphlet Raz had given her in her pocket to look at later. For now she just stood out in the middle of the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street as the tattoo parlor, looking over as much as she could of the ruckus through the window.
Raz was successful in pulling the tattooist into the air away from Ella, causing him to release Ella's wrist. This also meant that he was pulled out of the way of Ella's attack, though he was left entirely open to another one. However, the burning fluid that leaked out of his wound would potentially drop down and burn Ella if she moved directly under the tattooist.
Shana was told to wait there for the firefighters.
Once Anik could sense the hearts around her, she would likely note that the tattooist's consisted entirely of decades of pure, intense wrath. She would also likely sense that the tattooist's heart appeared to be enveloping the hearts of the people around her, like a disease. Beneath that, they seemed to be perfectly normal human beings.
Anik would also be able to easily free her leg, and knock the attackers down. Pulling her punches meant that, though they would be knocked back and onto the ground, the people she struck would survive.

Candace withdrew her blade hastily, backing away from the liquid fire. When the opportunity arose, she thrust forward again, at the flaming man's leg to cripple him.

Now even knowing who was responsible, Anik got more focused, her thoughts got clearer, and her instincts set in.
She clicked a few times, getting a better 'view' of the room, then stormed directly to the tattooist, keeing on kicking and countering any attackers.
"Calm down. What is the cause of your wrath?" she asked, standing near him, much more softly than she looked.
In the meantime, onlookers would notice soft scale-growth over the burnt areas of Aniks body.
