Agent Viper (Sabine Callas) the guard for the northside of this gigantic gallery could be seen for the first time since forever admiring art — in this case the painting of one Juan Luna, the Spoliarium, a giant painting depicting a dying gladiator being dragged bloodied and such. She through the glasses and fluorescent lights could see the mastery in it, at the point that she forgets guarding duty to at the very least do something that entertains herself.
But that doesn't seem to last long, something inside her pocket electrified her, and not soon after the same said thing exploded before she could take it out — thankfully not enough to damage, or hurt her, but it did turn her pocket into a mess, she Viper looks at her pocket and noticed the malfunctioning piece, at the earpiece. ( "What's going..." ) But before she could ask that question properly something from afar caught her attention. A light show.
"—ERE TO RUN!" A light show which turned into a form of a man, her co-worker clutching a bow falling from the glass ceiling — breaking the said ceiling as he falls in the middle, she watches in confusion from far away as Agent 06 (Sova) fall, her eyes caughing the attention of the mesmerized yet equally confused Agent 09 (Phoenix) from the other side of the gallery who's holding a Vandal, while she holds a Judge. But that doesn't matter as of now.
She removed her hands from the glasses which protects the painting and instead went eye-wide in realizing what's going on, running as quick as she could to the railings she switches from carrying the Judge and instead opt for a Vandal which is behind her back. She watches cautiously at the ceiling above, pass the remaining shards of glass and did notice a figure — a blurry one, and before she could comprehend it she fired at it, ones, twos, threes, 13 bullets to be exact with one hitting the target, sadly not killing.
"Oy! Oyyyyy! Eyeman, you alright' there? Obviously not, stay still though!" Phoenix went over the railings of the 2nd floor and screamed out loud before finally running down to the nearest stairs to get down at his panting companion, running as he does so. ( "Idiot!" ) The only thing Viper could think of, to both of her teammates — at the seasoned hunter, at the newly recruited baby, to everything that's her first impression and you couldn't blame her — she's a noble prize winner at her young age, but something did pique her interest as she kept look out at the window from atop. Who caused his seasoned teammate to do such a foolish action?
"Viper! It's them don't look away!" Before she could register that a black fistful ball of darkness came from atop the rooftop — in seeing this slow yet fast thing, familiar for her, she closed her green poisonous eyes. But that wasn't enough to lessen the effect of the said orb. ( "Oh, no, no, no, no!" ) She (Viper) repeatedly thought to herself knowing who the enemy is, her surroundings turning into a mush of darkness other than the close objects near him.
She fired at the sky, at where she last saw the figure of "him" the one who threw the darkness at her, 8 bullets, and unluckily she seems to hit none — the darkness expired and she was met with knives, 5 of them that seems to bend physics, her eyes went wide and dodged to the left, hiding behind a box as to not be hit — unluckily though she was hit by one, "hhsss." She felt it sting, it hit her right shoulder, she could feel blood as that said thing penetrated her shoulder blades, the rest of the knives breaking a glass and hitting a painting that she didn't like that much, so that's a plus.
( "Damn it! Omega Earth." ) She instinctively thought to herself knowing who's the enemy, they have encountered this before, primarily theft — so now she understands why that damn Kingdom wants this place guarded, they have radianite! ( "Shi*!" ) Viper leaned out the other side to get a closer look, she was able to make out three figures, one man two women, both girls being in flamboyant and colorful clothing while the man on the other hand being in dark clothing, one which she recognized quickly, ( "Omega Omen?" ) but that escapades was interrupted when that flamboyant woman with glasses fired a sniper at her, Operator, thankfully not hitting her — the usually cold, calculative, and intelligent of an Agent (Viper) couldn't think straight, she crouched down as to avoid fire, grabbing a mag from one of her pockets fumbling in reloading, "Get a grip damn it!"
"Damn, damn, damn, damn this is so not James Bond!" Phoenix, the arrogant of an Agent whose usually high and mighty couldn't help himself from looking up, running while doing so, "Agh screw it." His cocky british accent coming through as he stopped midway, seeing the figure of one woman in a yellow jacket firing a sniper at his stern looking college, ( "Oh dear, snake lady!" ) so without him noticing it, Phoenix fired some lucky shots at the woman, his scope aiming for the head but unluckily hitting the sniper instead, destroying it — "Is that OP?" But other than thanking his luck, he thought of something obscure instead — but before he could realize what something fired at him, in a pattern of threes, enough to scare him.
"Woah, woah, woah, there's another one of them?!" He saw three figures, not noticing the small one which is the fourth, the one that fired at him, this one only having legs and no arms — it's head used as a gun, weird thieves he thought. So, he didn't thought much about it and grabbed the unconscious Agent eagle-eye (Sova) dragging him away from the anger of that thing.
He didn't notice the figure of the man at the top beckoning for the other girl to get down onto the first floor — and so she did. Bending the air in her will she scattered the already shattered glass layed about in the floor, as she lands safely almost looking like flying in the eyes of young Phoenix who's about to have a heart attack.
"Agh, shi* mate. I shoulda been an artist, and not this! Stupid, stupid powers." With the said figure of that wind bender dashing out so about on the opposite side, away from him, "Oy!" One which Phoenix fires at, 7 bullets, all hitting none but instead the antiques or the antiques glasses nearby — ( "Crapshot." ) ( "Shut up man." ) He kept firing at the thing but unluckily not hitting her with her having the ability of divinition instead, predicting his bullets and dodging in advance — the closest he got was when he aimed at her back, that was sidestepped by a dash — "Agh bullocks." And before he could notice it, he ran out of bullets.
