Awesome, one down, one to go.

With his aura now decently recharged, Fritz mantled up through the collapsed warehouse he was in and up onto the second floor. He saw through a hole in the floor at least six thugs, now under fire from someone he could now call an ally.

''Wow, I wasn't even cloaked. Then again street thugs probably aren't the sharpest tools in the shed... ''Fritz fabricated another grenade before dropping it down right on top of the thugs. As the explosion went off, he cloaked and lept out through a torn apart wall. Fritz found himself standing in the entrance that the thugs likely took to get in. One had been thrown to the far side, another must have had a fairly weak aura. ''Odd, never thought Akari would let someone like mr.pink-mist into her gang. Must have been her personal chew toy or something. ''Fritz thought to himself before re-entering the ruin. The remaining four thugs must have made a charge forward; considering it was a choice between a high explosive or local militia, they took their chances with the militia.

Fritz was right as after climbing over a collapsed pillar he saw two thugs putting rounds onto the militia's position, and two more charging at them with shotguns. Normally, Fritz would either rush the enemy and send Shrekfaust's blade right into the back of their skull or tackle them down and go for a throat slit. Without his beloved claws, Fritz did the next best thing: he raised Sturmhund over his shoulder like a spear and charged the lankier of the two shotgunners. Mid-run, the weapon switched into scissor mode and caught lanky's neck before Fritz plummeted and dragged the body into the dirt. A dissonant snap burst into the room as the blades slammed shut and lanky blacked out. ''Gotta give him cred; I don't know many people whose aura could survive THAT kind of attack. ''Fritz grabbed lanky's body and gun, holding him like a shield as he swung the 200-odd pound man and fired upon the remaining three jabbawockies with his own weapon. ''High-capacity, semi-auto, nice choice. ''The sight of seeing a man be slammed to the ground then lifted back up by an unseen force would startle most people. Said people responded to this phantom assault with return fire that mostly hit lanky's body and armor; good considering how cloaking left Fritz with barely enough aura to take a solid hit.

With the room cleared, Fritz decloaked and held his hands open to show he meant no harm. "I take it you're militia? Some of your people were making a run for the forest through the market. I'd back them up if I were you." The militia gave their thanks before salvaging the downed thug's weapons and heading to escort the unarmed villagers. As they left, Fritz picked his rifle back up and called up Ade while following the sound of the last airship.

"This is Stahl, everything's golden. I think I saw a launcher near where you last were. Grab that thing and see what it can do on the last airship."
