Setting
"Damn..." Nankoro responded. "And here I thought I'd get to sign up for the games."
"{sigh} Well, I'm not sure how that'd work in this circumstance, kid," Crane replied. "Technically, that's up to the supervisor, Mr. Torgue Flexington..."
"Uh... sir...? We might be in a heap of... trouble... Remember that New-U Station you shut down earlier?" asked the intern, "Well... that counts as murder, sir."
"OH CRAP, I MADE A BIG MISTAKE! MY BAD!!!"
"Well... can we turn it back on and hope the lives of lost forces restore themselves?"
Meanwhile, in the Techno Dome, several officers approach Grubba, Torgue, and Sweet Tooth, armed with tasers and handcuffs.
"We're going to have to ask you all to come with us," said an officer.

OOC: I'M BACK!
"....T-The esca--"
"THE ESCAPE PODS!!!"
Torgue ran towards the pod door and pressed the button that opened the door to the pod. It is only able to carry one person at a time, and Torgue gets in the pod.
"LOOKS LIKE THE DOME'S CLOSED FOR NOW!! TIME FOR ME TO MAKE A BADASS EXIT OF ALL TIME!!!..... ENDING MONOLOGUE!!!"
The hatch closes and Torgue launched himself in a pod into the skies. Where is he going? Nobody knows. All the reader knows is that Torgue is freakin' idiot for shutting down the stations.
"You decided to run us in..." Sweet Tooth glared at the officers, "Go ahead... Try to taze me with your electric shit... I'll get stronger, and I'll murder you all..."
"Wait, ah surren-" began Grubba.
The police fire tasers at Sweet Tooth and... wait, actually just Sweet Tooth. They heard Grubba just fine, what did you expect?
"Garghh.... Fine... But know this, you worthless beings... you made a mistake." He snarled while covering his wounds.
Several officers drag Sweet Tooth into an armored van and drive off with him. Another officer radios in to Inspector Crane.
"We're all good here," said the officer.
Crane goes back to his microphone.
"Thank you for your cooperation!" said Inspector Crane. "You are now free to do as you please!"
Crane puts away the microphone.
"I'm heading over to Ingenium," said Crane. "I need twenty officers with me. The rest of you, fall back to Sanctuary."
"Yes sir!" shouted several officers, piling into more police vans.
Crane turns to Nankoro.
"Look, I'm really busy," said Crane. "And while I think it's a damn shame you couldn't go compete in the Techno Dome, I don't have the time or manpower right now to bring Mr. Torgue back here. Now if you'll excuse me I've got terrorists to capture."
Crane hops into a police van as it drives off for Ingenium.
"If you got a minute, we should probably talk about all this," Tempo said to Nankoro. "Whacha think you know about what's goin' on here? In Haven, I mean."
It's then that the latest attack on Sanctuary began. Nankoro heard screams and explosions, and saw the airships flying over.
"(!) Coronach ships??"
Right when Tempo said that, his cell phone started ringing. He looked at the screen to see "Phone Call from: Cole" displayed.
"Cole, what's goin' on down there?" Tempo asked, answering the call.
"What do you think is goin' on?!" Cole shouted. Nankoro could probably hear him from Tempo's phone. "I'm runnin' away from a freakin' air raid!" Cole took a second before continuing. "Look, I'mma need you down here pronto! I got a plan but I can't explain it while dodgin' bombs!"
"All right! All right! I'll be right there," Tempo said, hanging up. He turned to Nankoro and said, "I gotta head out now, but you watch yourself. Don't let these dudes take advantage o' you."
He then revved up his skates and zoomed off towards Sanctuary.
Soon, Nankoro saw one of the airships flying an uneasy path away from the city. Its awkward, faltering motion had Nankoro worried.
"Uh-oh...! (If that thing crashed into the city, it might be worse than whatever bombs they tossed! Oh man, what to do, what to do...!! NO! I...There must be SOMETHING I can - !)"
In the midst of her fervor of thought, the indigo markings on Nankoro's hands seemed to flare up with a whitish blaze. She could feel something in her getting worked up, rushing a heated adrenaline through her blood.
"...Something! I don't know what, but something is what I'm gonna do! I'll show Haven that I can do more than just damage stuff!" Her mind set, Nankoro hurries toward the airship in Sanctuary.
