JET PISTOL!!!

[The sound of Luffy’s voice echoing through the air is the only warning anyone within the general vicinity of the plaza will get before the body of a certain

awakenedchaos goes whistling pass and slamming hard into the plaza’s fountain. She isn’t dead, but she is knocked unconscious, and is in need of medical attention. If anyone were to examine her body they would find that she hasn’t taken many blows, but the few that did manage to land on her hit hard. So hard in fact that a few of her ribs were inevitably broken from the impact.

Looking for the attacker will only prove to be futile though. One quick Jet Missile was all he needed to near instantly launch himself out of the area.]

[Voice]

[A few minutes later he’ll make a journal entry about the whole thing. He’s not bothering to filter this straight to Yuber since he’s pretty sure most people know he did it by now anyway. He takes in a deeeeeeep breathe before speaking. Better cover your ears Luceti, this is going to be loud.]

YUUUUBEEEEEER!!!

DO YOU GET IT NOW!? ARE YOU LISTENING!? THE NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE TO ATTACK ONE OF MY FRIENDS!? I’M SENDING ONE OF YOURS FLYING! JUST LIKE HER!

[And then he’ll slam the journal shut.

Strawhats, you might have a Luffy climbing through the window all casual like. The door is too slow. And not stealthy enough obviously. He gained some injuries himself during the fight. Mostly a ton of cuts and bruises all over his body. Nothing really life threatening. Well not life threatening by Shonen standards at least.]

[Oh gods, Litchi too?] D-Doctor Faye-Ling?! [She was throwing herself in the way - every aspect of him wanted to tell her to stop, that fighting wasn't ethically permissible, that she shouldn't be involved, that nobody should be fighting, that Nu needs to get help right away and... that panic in Litchi's voice, just enough for him to discern, tells him she's terrified too. And possibly in danger.

But he knows he'll be helpless. Useless. If they're going to fight, there is nothing he can do. And he's pretty sure he can't stop either of them.

So he attempts to flee. Honestly, he can't run well enough to get very far at all. He probably doesn't even make it out of eyesight range of Yuber and Litchi before he has to slow down, his breath ragged and gasping and audible for all of Luceti. And he's terrified; he doesn't want to leave Litchi to die. His voice is breathless, choked, into his journal as he tries to will his exhausted, trembling body to put more distance between himself and the chaos in the plaza.] D-Doctor Litchi F-Faye-Ling is... f-fighting Yuber at the plaza. Nu has a p-punctured lung. The situation may worsen... D-Doctor Faye-Ling may... r-require assistance. [He might require assistance. But Litchi's in more danger than he is right now, unless Yuber decides Robert is a better target.]

[And Robert backing away is enough that the demon will not attack. He just doesn't want some strange human touching Nu. He's not even making a step towards Litchi or Robert.

He may not like Litchi much, but he knows her to be a friend of Nu's and she doesn't attack him without cause.] If that pathetic human leaves quickly, he will not be followed. If you're going to help her, then do so.

[And no, swords are not going away yet. You're still in hot water there Litchi because he's not tolerating any harm being done to Nu, but he does know Litchi at least is a friend of hers, and is a doctor and can do something.]

[Litchi holds her ground for a beat or two, watching Yuber carefully. The swords aren't going away, which isn't much to instill any confidence, but he's also not lunging to attack, either. Not taking her eyes from him, she directs her voice over her shoulder, her tone strong and confident despite her inner doubts.]

Professor Hastings, I'll be alright. Please, just go ahead and go home. I'll let you know how she's doing later.

[After just a shade of a longer pause, just to be sure she's not about to expose her back to Yuber when he's going to attack, she turns to tend to Nu as best she can. The damage is definitely severe, but she has to determine what to aim Nala's magic at first.

Fractured ribs... that'd be where to start. Her eyes flicker up to where Robert had retreated to, just to be sure he's still getting away, before she gets to work.]

[The fact Yuber hadn't moved to attack before Robert went to flee was, in his mind, a good thing. Perhaps he had a rational part of his mind after all. It was understandable if he was angry, about Nu being attacked. That was enough to make Robert angry. And maybe he wouldn't hurt anybody else. Maybe.

Probably not. But he wasn't attacking Litchi, yet.

Robert continues to back off, up and until the point where he hits his literal physical limit. Unable to help his own weakness, he sinks to his knees on the ground near the meandering river around Community Building Four and just gasps for breath, shaking. He's not even sure if he can get back to Community Building Three right now. Rationally, he knows that he isn't safe here, that Yuber could still find him easily and kill him, but panic isn't enough, even with adrenaline pushing him onward, to overcome the utter ineptitude of his body.

After a moment he kind of curls inward, the actual horror of the situation really processing now that he's essentially paralyzed by exhaustion.] Oh gods, oh gods... [He's murmuring softly, faintly. Probably still audible over the journals, though. Anybody else listening in would hear the faint sounds of the river and the louder sounds of Robert sobbing while gasping for breath. D-Doctor... F-Faye-Ling...

[Good riddance is Yuber's thought when Robert finally leaves. Not that the demon is all that rational right now, but he knows that if he attacks fleeing human, Albert would grow quite angry. But if human had not fled, he didn't care if the human couldn't defend himself, the demon protects his own.

But still, he couldn't leave Nu out here and he didn't want to stay in this area in case Luffy decided to return to attack unprovoked again.] She needs to be moved indoors.

[And he will go ahead and teleport closer to Nu and Litchi, enough to put them all in range so he can take them elsewhere. He's not even going to wait on Litchi's response, his comment is the only warning that he's taking them elsewhere. Don't worry though, Litchi, it's a neutral location. Not his apartment, but also someplace with no other humans. He's just going to take them to room 27 of CH6 since that floor has no humans on it.

Though it may be creepy to have Yuber teleport them all, considering that they all sink into the ground and then come out in the apartment, but it will not harm Nu in her state.]

[At some point among that commotion, one of the other three might just have heard the silver-haired Murakumo mumble "Loading... Loading... Loading..." to herself almost inaudibly. It's significantly slower than usual, should anyone actually pick up on that, and as she's mumbling this, she doesn't seem to notice anything else.

When Yuber finally teleports the group sans Robert away, the initial mumbling is cut off by an equally nigh-inaudible "...Complete." It's then that she finally glances around for a moment - albeit very carefully]

...?

[Wasn't she still near the plaza a few moments ago? And then that boy that had aided Moro in the past showed up, and...

...

What was that about...? She's honestly more than just a little confused right now.]

["More than just a little confused" is a pretty accurate description for Litchi right about now as well. She was just about to tell Yuber that it would be too dangerous to move her before the ribs have had a chance to knit at least slightly with Nala's help when, suddenly, they're somewhere else.

She gives a bewildered blink, casts a glance around the room to take in where they've ended up, squashes down the sudden wave of worry that she's somewhere - alone - with Yuber, and turns her attention back to Nu. Swallowing the unnecessary fear, she sets back to her healing magic.]

Shhh... Please, just stay still, Nu. This may be a little uncomfortable for a few moments, but it will speed along your healing time significantly.

[The magic is bound to not feel too fantastic on fractured ribs, but she's determined.]

[And while Litchi works on Nu, the demon will go ahead and sit down off to the side. He has a bored and sleepy looking expression and his swords will be laid down on a table in front of him.

But don't think that means he isn't watching. He's paying very good attention, he can just pretend not to if that will make Litchi do her work better.]

[As instructed, ν-13 remains still, simply staring blankly at nothing in particular while Litchi uses Nala's healing magic on her. It is uncomfortable, but at the very least, it's helping a little.

...well, she's remaining mostly still, anyway. She'll take a quick moment to deactivate her armor, but that's it. Seeing as she isn't detecting anyone else in the nearby vicinity, and Litchi isn't displaying any signs of hostility, there isn't really any point in keeping it on right now.]

[It really doesn't take Litchi all that long to heal the worst of the damage. The ribs can't be healed completely, but they're in much better shape than before. Most of the deepest bruises are already shades lighter than before, but Litchi is beginning to run out of steam.

With a soft sigh, she settles back.]

There. With some rest, you should be in excellent shape before long. But the bedrest is going to be very important; please promise you'll limit your activities as much as you can.

[And Yuber will just keep on watching with that bored look of his that makes it look like he's not paying attention.

Of course he knows very well that keeping Nu in bed will be difficult. But then, he's the far worse patient.]

[Hopefully Litchi wasn't expecting a vocal response to that, because all she's getting is a look. It's nice of her to heal ν-13, yes, but asking for her to limit her activities when someone just attacked her out of freaking nowhere is a bit much.

...Or it would be under normal circumstances, anyway. As much as she'd love to go out and retaliate right now, she's not really in any shape to fight. Not even after being healed. And besides, dealing with Luffy might require a bit more preparation, anyway, considering how much he managed to hurt her with so few attacks. So... fine. She'll rest.

For a while. Someone goes stir-crazy way too fast these days.]
