    Spoiler:

    ’Of all the times to simply “Be there” they were quite lucky,’ the running figure thought to herself, trailing the bread crumb trail of money, ’Though one would think they’d be neater about the trail. Why steal money if you’re merely going to drop it all in your haste?’ Well whatever the reason it offered the woman a trail to tail as she dashed down the lonely street.

    It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Originally it was supposed to be little more than a nightly jaunt to help relax and tire the body a little so she might slumber a few hours. Admittedly the day had been spent in a more or less relaxed state filled with reading…and maybe a small nap or two that probably caused the mild sleep issue. Mao refused to accept that explanation however as she could sleep quite easily most days, but the strong sense of inactivity created a hyper feeling after dinner so she aimed to quell the overabundance to a more docile level.

    ’I suppose this works just as well…’

    The walk brought her to the port, the ocean providing a lovely scene beneath the light of the moon and stars. Things creaked and groaned beneath the continuous push of the waves, but the melodic rhythm brought a calm, almost meditative state to the woman as she sat on a post. ’It’s as lovely as the whistling of the wind, perhaps more so even.’ Lacking any musical or artistic training, Mao could imagine a small song all the same from the various ambient noises surrounding her, blocking out the rest of the world.

    And then the fire nation attacked.

    Well, some alarms went off at any rate, and for a moment Mao thought them to be fire alarms as the ensuing voices roused the girl from the rest of her trance. No lights or smoke filled the sky, illuminating any real destination, but the daring of a few dark figures gave way to suspicion. A few seconds later a huffing and puffing figure ceased his chase now too busy trying to catch his breath before spying the girl. ”You there, girl! Please! Stop them, I promise I’ll pay you!” he managed to get out before leaning back over for another gulp of air.

    Thus she began the chase, arming herself along the way.

    Catching up was taking too long, and given the size of the port she could very well lose the trail if they chose to set sail. Once out far enough then retrieving the money would be impossible as Mao could only stretch the range on her magic so far, most spells not meant for distance, plus…’Probably wouldn’t appreciate fishing their money from the harbor.’ This called for a small boost to make up for lost time, red light illuminating all five limbs as her pace picked up. Pushing off of a barrel she bounded off an opposite wall to gain ground above on the warehouses, able to circumvent the need to stick to paths.

    Across the rooftops a few eloping figures could be made out in set intervals as they crossed one of the main roads and the crystal mage set out on her diagonal path towards the prey. ’Almost…now!’ Like a meteor she crashed in on the party, one of the men sadly used as her landing pad. Between her weight, the gauntlets smashing into his head, and impacting the ground he’d been knocked out cold while the others looked on in surprise at their new, glowing adversary.

    ”Charles! Take ‘er out and meet us at th’ship!” one of the guys holding the large sacks of money bellowed before he and two goons continued the charge towards freedom.

    The man turned out to be rather flighty, forcing Mao to chase him between some buildings and down their alleyways, though one turn he couldn’t make fast enough before she landed a solid punch into his side and knocking him through a crate. Inside clams spilled around the man, the things making him cringe as they cracked beneath his weight. Yet Charles wouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth as he threw a few handfuls of shellfish at her. It worked like clockwork as both gloved hands came up to shield her face, bits of sea water, sand, and crushed shell flying at her.

    Mao didn’t expect the glow of the rubies to drown out her vision quite like it did, the night sky changing everything up. It left her a lit up target as she saw the man two late and a fist collided with her stomach and air rushed out in one fell “whoosh.” Proximity worked in her favor though as the next attack came too close after to be cloaked by the veil of midnight. Beneath the hardened façade of a woman on a mission, it pleased her to hear the yelp as his hand collided with not only the thick muscle of her tail, but the warm rubies decorating the ends of the limb. All three closed on the arm like a giant hand as Mao reared up with an uppercut that sent the man flying back into the pile of crushed clams with a sickening crunch-squish.

    ’He’ll smell unpleasant for a few days,’ she noted, taking a few moments to make sure he’d been knocked out cold before dragging his prone form to the main walkway. With any luck there’d be some people behind her to round up the knocked out felons.

    ’They didn’t even waste time to patch up the bags?’ The notion confused and amused at the same time as a trail of money continued to lead her towards the perpetrators. Either these men were desperate in their attempt to flee with the goods or were so focused on their escape plan they forgot to double check their equipment before the raid. ’At least the trail’s not quite as apparent. Maybe the bags were simply not big enough for the job, or maybe they’re lightening the load to move faster?’ Both possibilities swirled, these guys perhaps not as dimwitted as initially believed.

    Something strange sat in the distance, Mao’s suspicion rising as her pace slowed. The lumps sat just outside of a circle of light illuminating a small portion of the port. Closer and closer she came until the pace slowed to a walk, muscles tense as the animalistic woman finally realized what the lumps were: sacks of jewels. Two of them sat there side-by-side as if ditched in the men’s haste to escape. ’Two…no…they wouldn’t just leave their quarry like this.’

    If the headache was any indicator, she’d been right. Leaving one bag maybe in an attempt to lighten the load had been far from the plan as instead both became an intriguing lure. From what it felt like one of them discovered a loos plank of wood, though to Mao’s luck it lacked any loose nails or he’d missed imbedding one in her head. A ‘whoosh’ noise sounded overhead, alarming the girl as she rolled away from the two attackers. Squinting through the pain she noted that the other fella found a metal pipe somewhere and if it’d connected she’d likely be passed out on the ground while the lot of them gained their freedom.

    At an impasse, the two slowly began to sidestep away from one another, forming a circle around her. They moved almost in perfect synchronization, worrying her with their level of teamwork. Both brandished their makeshift weapons like swords, though she worried more about the metal over the rotting wood, her decision clear. Making the first move would only prod them into action, but she needed the edge if she were to take them out and still have time to find the leader.

    As soon as the crystal glowed in her hand the two rushed her with their weapons swinging in wide arcs. Soft blue light, almost metallic in shade erupted from the gem as she crushed it in the gauntlets, cascading over both of her foes and causing them to stagger in hesitation. The pipe clanged harmlessly against the back of one of her large gloves even as the plank scrapped her shoulder, banging it and likely leaving annoying traces of splinters to deal with later.

    Harmlessly the energy rolled over the crystalline user, though mid-swing it caused both gents to cease their movements. She could only imagine what might’ve manifested for either man, her usage of moonstone a little questionable. As positive as many uses each gemstone possessed, Mao could still evoke a less savory ability from the mystical forces. The inner reflection of moonstone she’d found could also force one to face their fears in a sense, or rather their regrets of the past. ’To become overwhelmed with the past instead of stronger for it…’ It wasn’t one of her favorites for the fact it was a more negative purpose, but it saved her as their makeshift weapons clinked and clanked against the ground rather than her body.

    The window of opportunity could pass fast however, the illusion not particularly long as she immediately grabbed some rope and pushed one of the men against a tall wooden post. Around and around she wound the rope, the binds likely to dig into his skin a bit yet ensure the man wouldn’t be going anywhere with his arms stuck at the sides, hands sitting beneath the bond of the thick bindings. Secured in place and unable to move either appendage to regain his freedom, Mao turned her attention back to his ally, hoping to take him out before the illusion fully faded away.

    Tears ran down his face as with a savage cry the man swung the pipe at her. Rather than Mao it slammed into the shoulder of his buddy, the guy grunting in pain as the post and rope took the brunt of the damage. ”SHUT UP! SHUT UP!” the man chanted as he started swinging wildly, one clocking the woman painfully in the ribs. Rolling away Mao panted and watched as he continued to attack some shadowy figure before him, the thing likely dancing out of the way each time since it wasn’t a hard one to dispel.

    But if one fell down the rabbit hole…

    ”He’s become entranced,” she murmured, a small hint of guilt palpable in the tone. At this rate he’d only become a further liability to anybody in the vicinity including the man’s bound accomplice. As one of the exaggerated swings caused him to stumble, back thumping harshly against the wall of a warehouse, Mao kicked the hand holding the pipe and sent the device rolling away with a chitter of clinks. Hysterical as he was, eyes trained on whatever vision stood just out of sight Mao did the only thing she could for the criminal: she knocked him out with a solid hit to the head. ”I apologize for the headache you’ll have when you wake up,” she spoke as she tied his hands and feet together, ”but it’s better than leaving you tortured so. I am sorry.”

    Leaving him propped against the building, hands behind his back and other buddy now conked out against the pole Mao pressed onwards to find her final target.

    By the gods her back hurt now, air almost refusing to enter her lungs as shoes slowly paced around her. ”I’m disappointed in my cohorts, but it is hard to find good help these days. Really now, some light show of a hero taking us all down? I thought female heroes wore less than this, or are you more of a sidekick?” the voice mocked her slowly, as if he had all the time in the world now. The sack of cash sat not too far away, hardly hidden around a corner as a likely enticing sight or quick getaway path. Mao couldn’t be sure as the blow came a little after she spied the thing.

    She continued the charade though as if unable to stand, letting her body recover a bit more as he continued to speechify, ”For all I know you’re not even a woman beneath those clothes, just some strange, effeminate male cosplayer-“ there was that strange word again, she’d have to look it up later to better understand it, ”but no matter, I’m getting away with at least my share of the money, and the rest can simply take the fall for me. Good night dear little hero, I hope you have wonderful nightmares…if you live.”

    The weapon quivered out of his hands as it met with a strong force before something struck him, though the suddenness of the light ruined the man’s night vision as it blared to life. Without warning whatever ripped the staff from his hand slammed into him with great force, knocking the man across the harbor’s deck.

    ”I think I’ll be fine.” She eyed the man now groaning on the ground as the diamond finished its crackling formation, tail swishing with its armored end in a brilliant show of light.

    The man didn’t take much after that: prone, in pain, and begging Mao settled for knocking him out to be safe. She’d read one too many books where people turned their backs on such a foe only for the enemy to try something underhanded. The look of shock on his face could almost be called comical, unbelieving a “hero” would do such a thing. It left her pondering on her hero status for a moment, but Mao wasn’t quite sure how to quantify such things anyways as she dragged both man and money towards the last pair of enemies.

    In the time she’d been chasing down the crafty hooligans the man from before must’ve roused some Rune Knights as they’d already taken those two into custody, much to the man’s gratitude. He praised both her brilliant diamond display as well as her thwarting of their dastardly plot, though only every few words were perfectly audible as the others all slurred together in the heat of his excitement and relief. He went so far as to inform her that they’d recover a bulk of the money – though some homeless folk probably scrounged up some of the funds before splitting to avoid both the fighting and the cops. The man reached into one of the recovered bags and plopped a couple jewels into Mao’s hand that he’d taken just moments before, ”For your troubles, thank you so much!”

    Like a force of nature the man came and went, leaving the glittering woman in a daze stronger than she’d sent some of her opponents. ”What a strange, strange man…”
