Night 71: Sun Room

[monkeyboy]

[From here]

Now this place, he remembered intimately for a number of reasons. Goku couldn't feasibly count the number of times Taura, Birdy, and he had come through here to get to the basement. Most of the time they had been stopped by someone or something lurking in here. The memory started his heart pumping with excitement. It had been a long time since he had a proper fight!

The one with Birdy didn't count. Goku thought back further and stopped on the time he had attacked Kibitoshin in this exact room. He tried, but he couldn't remember why he had wanted to defeat the man... Either way, it had been a great fight. It was also the night he had truly met Taura and everything she was capable of. Yeah, those were all fond memories!

Welp. Goku flicked his gaze back and forth within the spacious room, but nothing seemed willing to assault him. That was a real drag!

"Ah well..." Technically, he had a job to complete. Reluctantly, he peeled his feet off the carpet and moved to the doors that lead into the main hallways. He could there'd be a lot of people out there to throw these bricks at.

"Dammit Al-!" Scar was becoming more and more angry by the second. They were both being goddamn fools, throwing themselves at this girl who could make fire and wind out of nowhere.

Knocking her out was starting to look like the only solution.

Scar knelt behind Korra's head and unwrapped his shawl from around his shoulders. Combined, he was certain that the boys would be strong enough to hold her in place. He attempted to cover her mouth with the thick fabric of his shawl to muffle any more potential fire. He planned to choke her out, but only long enough for them to make their escape. This felt wrong, so horribly wrong. Even though she had been attacking them...

"I will only knock you out. You need not fear for your life." He knew that words from an enemy, even a temporary enemy, meant nothing. It did little to calm his conscience, but it was something.

Al grabbed and pinned her arms to her side the best he could, using his weight to hold her in place. He didn't like this any better than Scar, but they had to do something!

Ed switches to holding her legs properly, rather than using his own legs.

Now that the adrenaline was starting to wear off, he's actually starting to notice his burns and that the skin was warmer than it should be.

Korra's eyes widened when all three of them were suddenly on her. She was physically very strong, and it showed. Her limbs were hot and sweaty from the fire and the struggle, which she kept up. She could not manage a strong breath, though, and fire came from the breath. She was rendered helpless and undangerous, and she was terrified.

She still struggled, though. Squirmed and tried to lift her body off the ground. Big guy's words meant nothing to her; he was the bad guy.

Letting the boys keep her on the ground, Scar hooked an arm around the back of Korra's neck for leverage. He pressed his free hand against her wind pipe, putting weight down on her throat. If he only choked her long enough for her to pass out, that would give them enough time to sprint for another room. Scar could only pray that he didn't cause her permanent damage.

"I am sorry." He closed his eyes, scowling at himself.

[armoredsoul]

Al bit his lip as he struggled to keep her still, wishing they didn't have to do this. But there was no way to reason with her--whatever the doctors had done, it had made certain that she wouldn't back down on her own.

"I'm sorry," he says, almost the same time as Scar.

[fullmetalheart]

Ed just gritted his teeth and focused on doing his part to keep her still, with a side of wishing that they had something to tie her up with so they could do that and stick her in a closet somewhere.

[rebonding]

There was little more than a weak noise out of Korra's mouth, in spite of her protests. The room was quickly spinning, and she was lightheaded. She'd been knocked out before, but that didn't make it any less terrifying.

Her head settled back after a moment, and her squirming ceased.

Scar released Korra's throat as soon as she was unconscious, muttering another apology before picking up his shawl and standing.

"Come. She will wake soon." With that, he ran for the nearest door as the intercom beeped on.
