"Very well." Tigris replied. She appeared calm, but her voice cracked a little at those words, betraying a hint of worry, even as she fired, ducked and reloaded again and again. Many slow minutes later, the owl sniper fell with a hole clean through his forehead.

To her alarm, a white clothed stranger popped up suddenly behind Platinum, and Tigris swung up her rifle instinctively, prepared to shoot and save the girl. But seeing the look of confusion on their faces, she too stopped, feeling uncertain.

She caught a last glimpse of her porcelain mask, before the stranger vaulted into battle, attacking and dodging gunfire with impressive skill and grace. Tigris blinked once, wearing a puzzled expression.

"Who is that?" she asked Platinum.

"I-i can try..." Zhu-li answered half-heartedly. Having to face such large numbers on an open field was a terrifying prospect, the thief was far better suited to an ambush than a straight fight, but she was still far from helpless.

She sprinted down the beach, dodging gunfire and fired Alaska’s harpoon into the sea. Her other wrist fired a steady stream of ice, forming a solid wall across the sand which grew steadily larger. For a weapon that used water as ammo, there was an unlimited supply at hand. The enemy had a number's advantage, but the terrain was in her favour.

Thick enough to trap bullets,at least temporarily, and cutting a wide crescent along the beach, her ice wall effectively cut the enemy force in half. She jumped down, now brandishing ice clubs in each hand and landed next to the white masked girl.

She began her violent work, bashing, tripping up, disarming and occasionally freezing the smugglers into place, all while keeping an eye on the white girl. For now, she seemed to be on Zhu-li's side, giving much appreciated help in the fight. Still, she remained wary. They still didn't know who the girl was, where she came from and why she was fighting.
