Night 72: Sun Room

[overlimit]

[from here]

Rita's luck had seen some improvement over the past few nights. After a long string of obstructions and disasters, she'd had some smooth progress. She just hoped that lucky streak was going to hold, and that nothing was going to interrupt her this time, either.

Not wanting to push her luck, she broke into a run soon after entering the room, making a beeline for the Library doors. She could trust that Taura wouldn't be far behind.

Being both human and weapon, Tsubaki had plenty of ways of manipulating her body, but without a meister to wield her as a proper weapon, a full transformation was out of the question. But even just a partial transformation was well-suited to the task at hand; the chain, though not made of flesh or blood, was as much a living appendage as anything else about her.

She raced around behind the boy from right to left, an attempt to draw his arm behind him in a restraining move. Immobilization and incapacitation were her specialties, whereas Black☆Star had always been the one prone to full-frontal assaults...

Korra filled that role exceptionally well, as Tsubaki was learning. Without so much as a signal, Korra came down on the smaller figure like a rock from the sky.

Yes! Could they bring him down like this!?

With a grunt, Tsubaki steeled herself behind a couch for leverage, holding tight to her chain with both hands.

Ed's arm was pulled behind him by Tsubaki and he struggled to get it free. He was still struggling when Korra came down on him like a bag of rocks, and was sent flying, getting knocked out in the process.

When his body finally came to a stop, he was laying sprawled and out cold. For now, at least. They may want to move before he wakes up.

There was a small, short-lived thrill of triumph when Edward was sent flying backward. Yeah, they'd won, and it'd been quick. But Ed wasn't even in his right mind. There was a pang of guilt as Korra shot the alchemist one last look of apology before bolting for the library door. He could wake up at any moment.

"Let's go."
