Throwing her to the wall was a bad idea, as she quickly recovered and wriggled out of the man's grip. Reaching behind, Vale's semblance kicked in, allowing her to scuttle to the ceiling and dodge the knife thrower's barrage.

She was out of melee range now, but faced a new threat. Being in plain view and an obvious target for the old man's bodyguards. One bullet narrowly missed her throat, drawing a hiss of pain as it scraped her aura, almost making Vale lose her grip.

Still dodging frantically, she switched Vendetta to crossbow form and fired twice down at the gunmen. The resulting explosions would hopefully damage her attackers, and filled the room with thick smoke, which hid her from view, giving Vale some room to recover.

"Hey... *cough* You okay?..." she asked, ready to offer help if she was injured.
