As I Step into the Gunner, I can feel his Shade being pushed aside. He's there, looking at me, scared. He watches as I aim his gun toward the Brawler who’s still dashing toward my kneeling body. I shoot; the bullet flies and hits the Brawler in the back. |

He falls to the ground, unconscious. Haroona returns to her body, leaving the Gunner shocked and dizzy. “I— I shot Hubert! I’m sorry! Oh dear God, I’m so sorry!” “No, she made you do this! It’s witchcraft!” “Get back in position! She’s dangerous!” The three remaining Ascendants resume their positions. They glance at each other, fear in their eyes, gripping their weapons as hard as they can. Only the Rusher seems confident. |

The three remaining Ascendants surround me, weapons raised, ready to attack. I’m going to be patient...one of them is bound to make a move and I’ll be ready to respond. It’s three against one, so they should have a distinct advantage. But they don’t, and they know it. A Brawler charges toward me, swinging his baton. For a brief instant, everything feels so clear, as if the Ascendants are moving in slow motion. I can see their movements and where they're going to land. I could perform a defensive move, followed by an attack. Or I could surprise them with one of my favorite tricks—disappearing with my Shroud. |
