She hardly had a moment to think as her threats didn't seem to bother the man at all, to suddenly flying back from the force, to feeling the sensation of something tight around her neck - all in the span of a time she couldn't react to fast enough apart from the haphazard throw of the dagger freezing up her hand. Adrenaline pulsed through her body as her senses screamed from fear of death, visible glowing blue streaks around her neck forming from Blut Vene activating with little thought towards it. She wasn't sure if she was bleeding or the person pinned on top of her, but it only added to the sheer panic.
The Soldat that were off to the side shook off their terror and drew their weapons toward the man, making quite clear that any further moves would result in immediate retaliation. They couldn't call to Reida as she appeared and started shooting at the man's companion, Vivyan herself trying to pull the chain from her neck. She was in a terrible position to do anything but pray he didn't kill her, and even with such a situation she formed yet another knife, trying desperately to break the chain around her neck, sensations of anger and fear motivating her to continue.

The Punk didn't even look back, simply booking it for the safety of the darkness, CURSING under his breath that he wasn't even able to get that damn woman to back down! All the same, he sped on, fully expecting the woman to be hot on his heels as he raced for the nearest exit that he was still aware of, hoping that he could get out of here and NEVER see those damn quincy again!
The sudden CRUNCH wasn't enough to pry the man attacking Vee's attention from his prey, but it WAS enough to snare the attention of the woman that had been idly surveying the downed forklift driver and the whole scuffle between quincy off to the side. Those sharp, intelligent eyes darted to the side, briefly taking a moment to scan the area curiously. It was Reida's sheer cautiousness that kept the woman from outright spotting her right away, and when that first shot rang out, the woman's eyes widened! The bullet slamming into her chest before suddenly reishi collected in her hand, JUST in time for the second shot to PANG off the surface before that third bullet flew wide as the impact of the second bullet sent out a thick compressed shockwave! Traveling directly along the path that the bullet had traveled, Reida would find a sudden ripple of air showing between her and the woman's shield, before that shockwave would plow straight through the spot she had been when she fired, ripping a hole through the cover she'd found and making a loud shredding noise as it then traveled further into the warehouse itself.
All the same, the woman staggered back, her whole body riddled with faint lines as her blut vene strained against that first shot that had been sent her way. GASPING just a little and putting on a rueful smirk as she crouched, eyes trained on the spot where her shield had retaliated. "Well well well, seems we have more company Raix!" The woman called out, crouching down and promptly pressing her fingers to the dirt, drawing a small sigil with her nail before focusing as thin lines of reishi spread out along the ground, dragging it out from the air as slowly, a matrix slowly began to form beneath her, seeming to prepare some sort of spell.
Raix, as the other woman had called him, twitched as he managed to slam the smaller quincy into the ground, eyes darting away from her to lock onto his partner before his face screwed up into a snarl of distaste.
"Shlosael
That dull murmur was a trigger to a sudden rushing burst of reishi around the man as bright reishi wings burst from his back, a halo maid from chain links forming over his head with elongated holes lining the edges of the wings. The release of a Volstanding. Almost immediately after it's release, a wall of chains would suddenly erupt along the ground, cutting straight across the battlefield and closing off the entire other half of the warehouse, as well as his partner and the man downed in the Forklift, as well as one of the Soldat. Thus keeping Himself, Vee, Reida, and the remaining soldat on their own side of the wall of chains that rose up dozens of meters into the sky.
When that soldat fired at him, he yanked on the chain that was connected to the ring of metal around Vee's neck, yanking her from her spot on the ground and promptly placing her in the path of the arrow as his eyes searched for the shooter. "Get out here." He growled out, clearly aiming to draw Reida out.

VIVYAN "VEE" FAYE
Vee's body hit the ground with a loud THUD, the girl disorientated as she tried to get back onto her feet. Her entire body was trembling, heavy breathing behind her mask as she was enveloped in a single sensation - Fear. They weren't in a great spot, made even less promising when the man who chained her exploded with reishi, forming something she was well aware of - Volstandig.
It just made her feel all the more terrified and helpless...
Yet for some reason, she couldn't stand these sensations. There was nothing but a sense of loathing for them, and the person who provoked them. In her present state, she wasn't calm enough to think much of it - it felt like cold poison was running through her veins as she was violently yanked once more, this time to receive the arrows of her allies' attempt at saving her, seeing them visibly taken aback as she'd crash into the ground again, her injuries thankfully lessened by her Blut's protection, but blood still trickled from her arm and side, but most definitely felt her head throb.
Tears in her eyes, her body forced itself upright. Her senses seethed in that moment, like an unconscious voice was goading her to do something she hadn't before, a bitter cold knife in her numbing hand, her eyes on her target.
And in her eyes, was pure hatred.
Without a sound or announcement, she'd grab a foot or so of the chain attached to her neck, yanking hard on it as she'd use the strain to force herself to her feet, rushing at the man with eyes wide with intent, her knife drawn and ready as she'd lunge. If she managed to get close enough to him, she would deliver a painful, freezing stab to the man's arm first, before tearing the knife out and continuing to throw haphazard stabs at his body. It wasn't a calculated move by any stretch - pure desperation and anger were guiding her now.

REIDA RAY COPELAND | TECUMSEH
Thankfully, Reida's own speed was rather impressive, even moreso when she was in the immediate need to move. The ground under her feet crumbled and turned to dust as she wrung every bit of energy she could from it to manage a truly impressive dodge, before once more leveling her gun and releasing short, controlled bursts toward the woman. Even if she kept up the defenses, she knew how poorly people handled consistent exposure to this sort of energy.
And hell, it looked like they were dealin' with real deal Quincy this time. If this guy wanted to go right into Volstandig, then Reida didn't think it was really worth messin' around anymore. Cracking her neck only briefly, Reida dropped her gun on the ground and released her Letzt Stil with little fanfare. Of course, that was little by her standards. The very nature of Tecumseh as a release, one which consumed anything and everything, meant that it was typically enough to interfere even with other releases, and she lept directly toward the man, using Vee's own assault as a distraction.
But, of course, Reida was a far more practiced combatant than Vee was, and as she drew the combat knife she kept on hand, her stabs were precise, merciless as she aimed only for the vitals, not simply stabbing but accompanying each action with a twist of the blade to ensure the most damage. All the while, of course, her own soul burned with the pain of its consumption, but that was simply a small price to pay for this degree of power. Besides, it was necessary.
"Here I am."
Her voice was cold, empty, lacking even the typical confidence that it usually held. Her Letz Stil was one that was far too grave a release for anything other than the most serious demeanor, and every moment she was in it was precious. That was why even after those stabs, she did not relent, and stayed on the defensive to continue an onslaught of practiced CQC.

Those additional pops, as well as the newfound awareness of where they were coming from, gave the quincy woman all the needed to know about where she had to focus. Those short bursts PANGING against the woman's shield as she managed to change her position, however her blut DID sustain several more hits once she started to channel that strange glyph into the ground, her Blut continuing to strain against those sparse rounds that managed to hit her before that wall of chains cut her off from the shooter. Annoying!
All the same, that network would continue to spread out along the ground, spidering outward and rapidly slithering across the field, even weaving through under the ground to slip past the wall of chains to fully encompass the entire field. There was a dull crackle in the air as a slight feel of ....invasion would course throughout the entire area. A dull tingling that would ripple along both Reida and Vee's bodies as well as the quincy fighting alongside them. A few beads of sweat forming when that sudden upspike of condensed spiritual energy suddenly showed up in the form of Reida's attack!
"RAIX! We're getting out of here NOW! HQ, this is Major Ezya Morde requesting immediate extraction of Second Squad!" She promptly hissed, though her expression would jar slightly when she started to feel that Field she'd created start to peel away, ripped apart from the ground and shredded thanks to Reida's Letz Stil. In the very same moment that a dark quincy cross would form above her head, shadow gushing forth to swallow her body. She gave one last hiss of alarm before her spiritual pressure vanished and she glared at the fight going on as her body was slowly swallowed by her shadow.
The slightest distraction. Raix was a soldier, who understoof the importance of focus. HE could sense the little woman he'd pinned to the floor yanking herself up onto her feet, more than prepared to ignore them as he spotted the sudden surge of energy happening before his very eyes. Face screwing into a mask of determined concentration even as Vee launched themselves at her and that slim dagger of ice broke against his enhanced blut. However, when he heard that shout from his ally, he suddenly snapped his attention toward Vee, as if expecting something suddenly from her. A mistake in who she was referring to, he promptly grabbed the woman by the neck with a vicelike grip and was in the midst of throwing her into the ground with tremendous force when Reida was suddenly upon him.
At first that knife slammed into his bluut and was stopped, eyes darting toward Reida as those sudden sharp stabs cracked and sparked off his skin, and he promptly aimed to swing Vee into her body to plow both women into the ground, however he .... was unable to keep up. He was moving MUCH faster than Reida even before he'd used his Letz stil, but the sudden spike from Reida's own release was completely overwhelming. His eyes widening as he would aim to throw Vee into the ground more or less, while at the same time, he'd feel his Vollstandig begin peeling away from his body! And those rapid knife strikes suddenly began to sink in! Almost instantly he was alarmed, starting to BARELY mitigate those stabs, only managing to keep that knife from burying deep into the targeted spots, but none the less, blood sprayed and began toi ooze as cuts began peppering his entire body! Rapidly trying to retreat, backing up amidst the assault!
There was a sudden dark quincy cross above his head as shadow would shoot down and envelop his body, however, his spiritual pressure would not vanish, rather, that shadow......would begin peeling away. That attempted extraction simply broken down, and shredded to pieces by Reida's Letz Stil. And then he LUNGED, pushing himself into one of those stabs, and an instant later a manacle would form around the hand that held it, chains forming between himself and reida, but it wouldn't be absorbed by Reida's letz, unlike those other chains Reida would see that this one was made from the man's blood, his hand soon clasped over it to LOCK the blade into his body and grab Reida by the wrist.
She was still faster, but that manacle meant that unless she planned on giving up her arm, she was soon going to be in the grips of the ma. "GRRRRRRRAAAAAAAH!" A beastlike roar escaped the man's lungs as he swung, unleashing a sudden and vicious roundhouse kick aimed to send Reida flying back into the warehouse with enough force to simply seperate her from her arm regardless of her desire to keep it intact if it managed to hit, that sudden spike in speed and strength rapidly rising to match her own, possibly catching her off guard as the man bled from several knife wounds.
His veins pushing out, not in blut, but from sheer tension as his Vollstanding finally peeled away completely. But he didn't slow down, he got FASTER. Abandoning his quincy release and focusing on his own martial prowess instead. Though even at this distance, Reida might be able to hear the sound of muscle ripping as the man pushed himself to try and match her, perhaps just as pyrrhic as her own burst of strength.
Reinforcements en route to both squads, ETA Thirty Seconds. Those cubes would sound off, and both Vee and Reida would be able to sense the spiritual signatures of other Vandenreich rapidly approaching. It wouldnt' be long before the man before them was completely swarmed.

It happened too fast. Too fast for her untrained eyes.
Her knife broke into shards upon striking his body, she felt the teeth of shock bite her spirit as her move ultimately did nothing, before her neck was grabbed so tightly. A mess of feeling twisted like needles in her chest; fear, pain, panic, anger, shock, as her body was used as nothing more than a weapon, swung around as her legs dangled and flew with that swing, before being thrown into the ground, discarded like an old doll. She felt her head bounce, striking the ground, though the sensation of pain didn't settle in when it naturally would have.
The two other soldat rushed to her side, immediately flipping her over and checking her over. She twitched, letting out a pained noise; she thought the man was attempting to use her again, her vision dizzy and ears ringing. It was suddenly harder to breathe, tasting an oddly sharp flavor in her mouth. She weakly rose a hand to touch her face as she heard the voices of the two women above her, touching around her face and then landing on her nose; it felt out of place. She rose her trembling hand into her unsteady vision, dark crimson staining it.
She felt nauseous. She felt scared.
But most of all, she felt so.. So tired. She refused to let her eyes close, focusing on the sky, but that feeling of cold exhaustion wanted to take her. The buzz of the report was just as in the background as the clashing and howling going on not far from her.

REIDA RAY COPELAND | TECUMSEH
In a normal situation, Reida certainly would have been concerned about her main partner in this assignment seemingly hitting the floor with enough force to rattle her brain. She would have been even more concerned with the fact that one of these new hostiles was seemingly getting away. However, in this immediate moment, the only thing that she could say she was concerned with was the fact that this brute was still going.
It definitely wasn't good when he caught her arm, but frankly, it wasn't the worst thing in the world. Judging from the sounds he was making, the fact that she'd hit him pretty good, it was only a matter of time before he wore himself out. Might as well stall a little longer, then. The manacle being clapped on was a bad sign, and against someone like this, the last thing she wanted to do was give them any opportunity to control where she went. So she simply straightened her free hand, and chopped through the trapped arm without any regard for the fact that it was agonizing. Better than being hit by that brutal roundhouse, and even with that, she still barely avoided it.
"C'mon, big guy. I'm gonna need that knife back, ya know, and I'm not lookin' to wrassle it out of ya."
She stayed on the defensive, keeping her distance as something of a manic, taunting grin grew on her face. She knew that this guy was probably going through far worse than she was, and that he was almost assuredly getting more angry. Good, get angry. The energy in the area continued practically funneling into Reida, even as her soul burned itself for the sake of this ploy. That was fine, though. She had to keep this fella alive, after all. Just thirty more seconds, that was easy at her speed, every step turning the ground underfoot to dust as she ripped every trace of energy from it to use for her own movement. Good thing it was that little time, too. No way she'd be able to hold out like this for any longer'n that.

The man's eyes narrowed, darting as she watched the woman go so far as to chop her arm clean off rather than take that devastating roundhouse kick, even as she avoided the kick itself, the air shearing around his body let out a WHOOSH as compressed air blasted outwards in a shockwave, still clutching Reida's severed arm and letting out a gruff, husky pant as his eyes darted, managing to start following her as he seemed to continue rapidly growing in speed and strength, those veins along his skin starting to steam just a little as he ...Focused. He twitched, gritting his teeth before he CLAPPED his hand onto his own chest, and suddenly thin chain0link tattoos suddenly coursed all over his body, each one connected to one of his stab wounds before he clenched the fist, pulling those chains out of his skin and into reality, his face twisted in concentration.
"GrhhhhhhhhhhAHHHHHH!" He roared out, his yell echoing in the mountains as Reida would see those chains peel straight out of his chest and then slam together into a throbbing ball of dark energy! If she was acute enough in the department of energy sensory, she would FEEL a very familiar sensation from that ball of chained up energy. It was HER reiatsu, ripped clean out of his body and bound by the chains. With a wet THUMP the ball of chained up reishi dropped to the ground as he huffed and puffed, those wounds slowly stopping their bleeding as he narrowed his eyes at the woman, holding up his free hand, within which he still held the severed limb that was still chained to him. The knife still in it's hand.
"Oh you mean this knife? Would you like me to return it safely buried in your chest as you tried to leave it in me? Or... perhaps you'd like your little friend to hold it for you instead?" He asked, keeping his eyes squarely on Reida as he gestured down to Vee. Wincing a little as he seemed to react to voices that Reida herself wasn't privy to. "Shit....Ezya what have you done...." He muttered under his breath, sweat beading along his skin as he narrowed his eyes at the woman. "I'm gonna be real honest with you, It' takes a lot to keep up with that little weeb cursed power you have goin on. Ain't had a fight this fun in ages. But I can't keep it up, and I'm willin to bet you probably can't either. So what say we call this a draw. I cooperate, and you tell me whatever it is that you shot up my partner with. Alternatively: I kill your partner, and as many others that get in the way of beating the answer out of you myself as necessary." He growled out, a hint of an accent shining through in his words. British? Maybe Australian? Whatever the case, the man made his intentions very clear. Whatever had happened to the woman that Reida had shot, it seemed there was still room for concern in the man. Enough that he was faltering from whatever objective he'd been tasked with accomplishing here.
Reinforcements will be arriving momentarily. Chimed both women's cubes.

REIDA RAY COPELAND | GUERILLA SPECIALIST
"A draw? Sorry, fella, but I ain't in the business of makin' compromises. Way I see it, you're mighty right that ya can't keep up much longer. But me? I can go all day."
Reida rolled the shoulder that bore the missing arm as her Letzt Stil came to an end, her hair slowly returning to its normal color as she simply stared the man down. Already her arm was visibly beginning to heal, flesh and bone mending themselves as the torn stump began to slowly replace the missing flesh.
"In fact, I can probably go longer than you ever could. Think I ain't got more tricks'n that? If you wanna try and run with me, buddy boy, you're in for a whole world'a trouble, 'specially with backup on the way."
She hardly needed to pull in much in the way of further energy, especially given the state of this guy. Her box of tricks was still pretty close by, and if the reinforcements actually did their job, she'd have time to grab it once they got here. From there it was easy day. Of course, that was puttin' a lot of faith into them, but she also didn't have too many other options. So, instead, she simply began to step forward once again, slowly and confidently. Her voice as she spoke became mocking, outright cruel in its tone, and there was malice dripping from her every word.
"Lookit'cha, big softy. Ready to give up 'cause your partner got a little booboo? You ain't cut out for work like this."

Re: Investigate Anaconda: Secure Cache (Vee/Reida)
Wed Jan 12, 2022 7:57 pm
The man spun the knife in his hand as he noticed the unhinged look on Reida's features , eyes briefly taking in the sight of the woman's arm slowly healing itself. His expression relaxes for just a moment, and as Reida continues to menacingly deliver her response to his offer, he takes a slow, steady breath before sighing softly, the bleeding having already stopped as patterns flowed across his body.
Off in the distance, Vandenreich were closing in. The sharp sound of Hirenkyaku as well as others moving in using vehicles was in clear evidence as reinforcements started to roll in as promised, closing in around the area. The soldat under Reida and Vee's command visibly relaxing slightly as the sight of reinforcements closed in.
There was a crinkling noise as the knife slowly glowed white hot, and red steam coiled around the man's body. His skin turning slightly red as his veins became more pronounced. "Door number Two it is." The comment was punctuated by Reida's knife being flung directly into the center of Vee's navel, thrown with an expert flick to pin the woman to the ground with the blade. Exactly as the man has promised. The next instant was a loud punctuating crack as a hirenkyaku closed the distance between him and Reida, his speed suddenly blistering. And while Reiada has been forced to turn off her Letz Stil, the man seemed intent on continuing to fight as if she still had it active. A sudden and brutal thrust that would have put that elevated form of hers to the test in terms of speed and brutality as his fist was thrust with the intention of plowing it straight through Reida's midriff with enough force to send her into the ground and crater it in the process.
At that very same time: the wall of chains the man had formed promptly twisted and curved back down, forming a dome around himself, Vee, Reida, and the Soldat that they had been sent here with. Promptly closing them off from the backup that had been en route to support them. Layer upon layer of chains slowly winding around and around to secure the dome for however long Raix could manage to keep his body intact as he continued to destroy it in favor of the strength to try and beat the answer out of Reida as promised. Vehicles and Soldat alike came skidding to a halt just outside the barrier. Promptly they got to work trying to break their way in, as others circled around to flood into the warehouse that Vee and Reida had managed to keep safe and undisturbed throughout the mission.
Now all that was left was for Reida and Vee to survive however long this brick house of a man was able to hold out.
