Bounty Hunters [Mission]

[Pyxis]

Well, talking wasn't going to work anymore. Not so long as her sister still had a hammer in her hands, at least. Whatever worries about who the blame lie with for that one were pointless by now. It was a low priority, along with continuing to try to talk. More importantly, they needed to disarm or disable this girl before she managed to do the same. Pyxis noted that her Dream Fist skill wasn't doing nearly what she hoped that it would, but at the same time it was currently the best she had. She had slash-based attacks as well, but as Vice had demonstrated, they weren't any more effective.

So, Pyxis summoned Pandora again, and a now familiar ghostly fist emerged from the box in her hands. The fist drew back, then swung forward in a backhanded strike that would hopefully catch both the hammer and that side of her sister's body.

With those last two attacks, the robot lifts her hammer once more, only for a few sparks to flash from its body. Freezing mid-swing, the robot falls to one knee as it begins to steam. It would seem that it used up too much of its power. This. . . is it for me. With one last utterance, the robot's head drops as it freezes in that position.

Realizing that the enemy is subdued, you can now claim your reward after delivering the girl.

Mission accomplished!

You received your reward: 2,000 FP

The attacks had managed to hit once more and the young man was about to prepare himself against some kind of retaliation from the she-bot when the thing just fell over in some kind of frozen position. This was probably the time where they could probably say that it was down for the count and that the duo had been successful in terms of disabling the thing.

Vice didn't quite buy it.

It was probably bad manners, and he'd probably piss off the Anti Shadow Weapon that was with him, but he'd rather be safe than sorry. Besides, it wasn't like he actually knew what these things were capable of and thus had to be extra cautious when dealing with them. Moving closer to it, tentatively poking it with the swords he had to make sure that it was done for real, Vice was then satisfied with the results of this encounter.

"Well, that was…faster than I thought it would be. Anyway, job's done and all we gotta do now is return her…and I'm probably gonna need a lot of help carrying her. I doubt machines like these were meant to be light weight…specially with that hammer of hers."

[Pyxis]

Pyxis braced herself for another attack, but it never came. Instead, sparks erupted from her sister's arm as she froze up, apparently out of energy. She was surprised at first, but as Vice tested (rather insensitively) to make sure her sister was actually down for the count, she went back over the mission description in her head. As she did, she realized that her sister had probably been out here for several days at least, attacking anyone who passed through (all of whom would have been Persona-users) without recharging. In that case, they had gotten lucky, being able to hold her off long enough that she finally ran out of energy.

"That's enough," she finally said, kneeling next to her sister. "Sorry, sister," she whispered, pulling her to her feet. The rogue weapon was still unresponsive, so Pyxis hoisted her over her shoulders. "I've got her. Get her hammer if you can, otherwise I'll come back for it." And with that, she turned away, starting the long trek back to the safe zone.

[Vice Ysal]

"Alright then."

More or less giving up on the whole trying to get on the girl's good side for the time being, they did just have to more or less force what she considered a sister into submission, Vice just followed up her little orders and did his job. Lightly jogging towards the fallen hammer, the sledge of a thing pretty damn impressive in just size alone, the asian then bent down and tried to picking it up. Even with how used he was to lifting and carrying weights of different forms and sizes for hours during his shifts, the thing was still pretty damn heavy.

Balancing it on his shoulder and making sure that the head didn't force him to tip over comically to one side, the user then began to trail behind the red headed machine. A few feet away from where the battle had been fought, Vice took the chance to look at ground zero and had to commend the amount of destruction a single Anti Shadow Weapon could do despite her apparent lack of energy. With that done, the young man quickened his pace to resume his position of being a few feet behind the girl.

Still a bit to go before they delivered the downed weapon anyway, and being too far from the 'group' usually wasn't a smart idea.
