"Look. There is no reason to kidnap him in a freaking limo or keep the pretense this long."

<Fine.>

"Great! Progress! Now do you have the time to explain further or should we just be figuring out how to run away in the other direction as fast as possible? Is Arth—his family okay?"

<I don't know about his uncle. But Arthur is not->

She is interrupted by the sound of police sirens.

They can see the police cars fast approaching from all directions. "It's okay. We called them."

"Oh yeah we did that. Oops."

The police cars pull over and they can hear the megaphone. "Put your hands in the air where we can see it. Drop your magical weapons now."

They hear a telepathic burst of static and then Vii drops to the ground. A cop came from behind and shot her with a taser.

"...I think that was uncalled for. Uh, should we get out of the car and explain?"

"Yes. Hopefully in a way that doesn't make them think we are crazy."

"I will get out first." He does that.

Dayo goes after him.

Tentatively and with very deliberate movements Felix also leaves the vehicle. Followed by Fenris. One of the officers approaches them.

"Evening, ma'am and men. S-" The officer clear his throat. "Sorry about the inconvenience. This one escaped the asylum a couple of days ago. Real nutcase, I hope she didn't try her spiel about alien abductions on you."

"Felix if your magic is working knock them all out immediately please."

"It's not working." Fenris says before slipping past the officer they are talking to, trying to reach Vii.

The "officer" snarls and changes into a scaly-skinned humanoid and tries to reach for Felix.

But he and Fenris knock the "officer" down with a tackle.

The other officers also shapeshift and move to attack. A total of five of them.

Well shit. She doesn't exactly have any martial arts training. She ducks.

Jessica is still in the car so she uses a door to hit one of them, at the same time as the driver quickly opens his door and jumps out, a gun in his hand already pointed at another reptoid—

—but it doesn't fire. Cursing under his breath, he jumps at the one he was firing at and tries to use the butt off the gun to hit him.

The one that got hit by the car door lets out a rather pathetic. "Ouch!"

The tackled reptoid breaks away and shoots a long tongue at Fenris, causing him to slowly collapse to the ground. The reptoid takes Fenris' shape, including the wings. The Fenris-impersonator tries to fly at Dayo but falls to the ground.

Felix reaches where Vii has fallen and grabs something from the ground. Something metallic and wand-shaped which he tries to aim at one of the reptoids, but another one tackles him to the ground.

Victor on the other hand is rather ruthlessly effective. He isn't impaired by the lack of magic and he moves like a precise machine of pain.

The one that Jessica hit is quickly taken down by Victor. The Fenris-impersonator tries to turn to him, but the-one-they-have-been-calling-Arthur starts punching him fiercely.

Felix decides he doesn't want the reptoid to get whatever magical device Vii was using and throws it away. It doesn't land close to Dayo, but Dayo is closer than anyone else.

The reptoid gets fed up with Felix and tongues him, taking his shape as well. Felix falls inert to the ground, eyes unfocused.

Dayo lunges at the thing, while Victor makes use of the fact that he's better at punching and dodging than not-Arthur to engage that reptoid.

Vii is rising slowly.

Jessica feels something cold wrap around her ankle. The reptoid that she hit with the door wrapped his tongue around her leg. A numbness and cold quickly spreads through Jessica's body and her senses blur.

The Jessica-impersonator quickly stands up, apparently unharmed from Victor's beating. He joins the fray by trying to land a hit on Victor.

Dayo reaches the thing, but Felix-impersonator uses a wing to bat it away. He then makes his own attempt at grabbing the thing for himself.
