You grab your sword and charge at the woman. If this fight keeps going, she's going to get someone killed. If not you or Sunspot, then your neighbors. And if not here, then somewhere else. She needs to be put down. But the sound of metal hitting concrete alerts Artillery and she leaps out of the way. Sunspot just barely redirects the flames to avoid you, and hits Artillery's armor. Artillery shouts an expiative and fires her energy pistol at you. You take a step back and a bolt of light of concussive force sails past you.
The blast smashes through the brickwork of a nearby house, collapsing the entire wall. Windows that were nearby shatter from the force. You take a second to look in the house, hoping that the people inside are alright. You see a fancy looking living room, and The Trett family's oldest daughter bolting out the back door. You don't see anyone else in the house.
In that time, Artillery fires it at Sunspot. A bright blue energy blast fires from the pistol. The blast hits the cape square in the chest, sending the man flying backwards, through a second story glass window of one of your neighbors. Flames from his hands still spewing, it catches the wooden sections alight.
She spins around and aims the pistol at you. On reflex, you summon your barrier one more time. But this time, it isn't the smooth barrier you used to block her shotgun before. You feel yourself using more mana this time, and instead of the smooth barrier you meant to summon, a hexagonal, glass-like barrier forms right in front of you, just an inch from Artillery's hand. Before she can react, she pulls the trigger. The blue bolt hits your barrier, and is reflected back at the shooter coated in a white light. She doesn't even have time to change her expression before the white bolt of magic hits her square in the chest.
It's almost like someone tied a string to her midsection and she's being pulled back by some invisible force. Her goggles fly off. She hits the driver's side door of a nearby van, causing it to bend inward, her head going through the glass. She slumps to the ground, battered and barely breathing, armor melted in some places. But even then, she looks at you with nothing but anger once her gaze can focus.
"Fuck..." She says through gritted teeth. "You... you just got lucky, bitch. *Ow*... this doesn't prove a damn thing..." She tries to move her arm, still holding pistol.
[] Subdue her.
[] Kill her.
