[The retrieval units stand up like a wall in front of Jason--Luke will have to go through them to get where he wants to go.]

Yes?

[sacred_flamer]

[Luke hesitated mid-run, not wanting to harm anyone else, just Jason, but it was obvious he wouldn't have that choice. It led to him awkwardly striking out against the retrieval units; even if his sword doesn't instantly disappear when he strikes the unit, the already broken blade was so stressed from his previous fight with Yu that the impact would snap half the blade off.]

...tch! D-dammit! Fight fair!

[animusnpcs]

[The blade does vanish on contact, which at least saves it from breaking for a little while longer.]

You've all rushed at me, that's hardly a one-on-one fight.

[sacred_flamer]

[Small comfort, seeing as he's essentially useless unarmed.]

[...well, almost useless.]

I don't care what they're doing-- [Well, that was a lie; if he could, he'd stop them from killing the innocent drones.] --I only care about you!

[He wrung his hands out, trying to concentrate. Just one blast... just one hyperresonance, he could get rid of Jason and...!]

[He swung his hands up, gathering power... and all he did was flicker golden for a second before it faded. Dammit, not when he needed it the most!]

[animusnpcs]

[Jason frowns, pressing a button to disable Luke's abilities.]

I've always been especially popular, I guess.

[sacred_flamer]

Tch...!

[Luke tried again, but he didn't even get a flicker that time.]

D-dammit...

[He started backing away, wondering if he'd be able to run from those drones...]

[animusnpcs]

[Jason smirks.] Of course you'll try to get away now, once you don't have anything special on you.

[Then he disables the muscles in Luke's legs.]

[sacred_flamer]

Uwa--!

[Luke took a step back, and his legs stopped working, depositing him on the ground. He winced as he hit the ground hard, almost hurting his nose in the process, turning a glare up to Jason. He wasn't going to give the bastard the satisfaction of seeing him trying to crawl away, and he folded his hands behind his head in silent surrender.]

[animusnpcs]

At least you're not crawling.

[A retrieval unit scoops Luke up and takes him away in the administrative elevator.]
