"Damn it Khyber!" The Machancial form of... Crab, you think is what he was called, cries out, snapping the gun in his hand up to the Green Alien, before it snaps over to you, and then to Glory Girl, and back to Khyber, you guess, again.
Khyber simply shrugs, looking completely nonplussed at having a gun pointed at him. "S'nothin personal Kraab. You know the biz. You know my prices. The Council was willing to pay everything I asked, and then some."
"You don't have to do this, once I get the Bounty, I can pay off-" Crab starts to say, before you hear Glory Girl next to you.
"Fast girl, get the civilians out of here." She hisses, and a quick snap of your head makes it clear that while she isn't aware of their attention turning to her, they are aware of her.
You barely get the time to open your mouth, even at the speeds you move before the girl throws herself forward. Reaching out, you pull the girl to your chest, and grab hold of the librarian, before rocketing out of the library. Screeching to a stop, the Librarian stumbles out of your grasp, looking more than a little nauseous, but the other girl holds tight to you.
She's crying. "T-thank you." She whispers out, still holding tight as she can against you.
"Y-your welcome." You say unsure of how to get the girl off of you. You've never really had to deal a lot of with crying people before. Neither you or your old best friend were much for tears, and you don't want to try prying her off, especially not with your claws. "Ah... if you could please let go?" You ask, hands just vaguely waving around, not ever coming to touch the girl. "I... I've got to go and help Glory Girl."
Seven seconds pass, before the girl's chest stops shuddering, and she looks up at you with big green eyes. "Who are you?"
[ ][Cape]How do you answer?
"I'll never forget you." The Girl says, rubbing at her eyes with one hand as she steps back.
With a nod, you zoom back inside the Library. It's only been a couple of seconds, and already so much within has changed. The Green Alien, Khyber, you remind yourself, stands in the center of the atrium, hands up in a loose fighting stance. Glory Girl is to his left, and Crab to his right. "Look girlie. You're out of your league, and you're out of your business." Khyber says, "The Hostages are gone, and this doesn't concern either you or the Wielder of the Omnitrix. Just go about your way, and I'll go about mine. Sound good to you, wielder?"
Somehow, despite the fact that you have come up directly behind him, Khyber is the first to have noticed you. "You ain't bad either, kid." Khyber continues. "You came up with a plan and put it into action quite quickly, chose a good alien for what you needed to do, and proceeded to pull it out quickly and without a lot of fanfare. I'd give it a four out of ten." He gives a slight shrug, still seeming completely relaxed.
"Two biggest issues however. You actually thought that Kraab here would have been fast enough to stop you from pulling the hostages out. He's got a lot of machine in him, but he's got nothing on a Kineceleran like you are now. Your second mistake was not keeping third parties out of your business. Maybe one day you'll be truly worth hunting."
Khyber is directly in front of you, and he's facing away from you even. To his left is Glory Girl, and you can practically see the way that she's readying herself to pounce.
On his right is Crab, who seems more frustrated at this than anything, but now that he's seen you, he's turning his gun towards you.

Sorry for the sort of short update, you achieved your mission relatively easily, so you have to re-strategize.
