Twisted Fate ran as fast as he could, and noticed a cloud beginning to form under Wukong's feet. The comment time to fly told him everything he needed to know as he grabbed the staff with both hands and held on for dear life as he imagined that they would be going fast really soon. "Pull me on that cloud as soon as ya' can!" He said, not wanting to be dangling like a worm any longer than he had too.
That is when he heard the gunshot, and prayed that it wasn't Graves or Caitlyn shooting at him. After all he was a little helpless when hanging on to Wukong's quarterstaff....or whatever it was. The "criminal" looked over his shoulder and saw that Caitlyn had knelt and shot....but if it wasn't at him...then who was it? A second look made him ponder what Graves was doing. Hopefully nothing, the less fire they have coming at them the better!
The sound of an all too familiar gunshot fire alerted Wukong to the sudden danger nearby. His head slowly turned in time to feel something sharp rip through his body and exit the front spilling blood likely across Vi had he succeeded in grabbing a hold of her.
With a faint monkey chuckle, Wukong's cloud began to rapidly disintigrate. The staff TF held onto quickly retracted upon him grabbing it allowing him to get atop the nimbus cloud as it continued forward. However it was clear that he would not be able to maintain it for much longer given the searing pain that quickly spread out from the bullet wound in his shoulder. With a cough, the Monkey King's staff would be gripped by the monkey's tail to keep a tight hold on it, reaching his hand back to try to grab onto TF, "Ah-haha-hehe.." He continued to laugh.
With a burst of energy, he sent the nimbus cloud racing forward, steadily helping it to thicken up just enough to keep them from falling through. "Hang on!" He yelled, coughing again at the pain from the wound in his shoulder. The nimbus cloud bounced across the ground, bringing them nearer to the edge if not just outside of its parameters, before disappearing completely. Wukong would try to grab onto Vi and cushion to fall for her, feeling TF would probably have some trick to getting himself out of harms way without Wukong's help. As they'd come to a stand, he'd unravel himself from the pink haired Piltoveran, grabbing his shoulder quickly to try to slow the blood loss.
"If I fall behind.." He says through gritted teeth, "Just go ahead. Fate, maybe you can teleport her out of here. I can keep Caitlyn and Graves distracted in the meantime." He was surprisingly cheerful given how much pain he was in, seeming to be enjoying himself perhaps a little too much.
"If you run across Master Yi.." He said as he ushered them onward, "Tell him what happened! He might enjoy the story, and come visit me in Piltover!" Laughing joyfully. He wasn't out of the run yet, but he knew if he didn't treat his injury he may well have a bigger problem then being chased by Caitlyn.

Vi gave Wukong a quick look of slight compassion. "Wukong...thanks." But after that split second, her face reverted to it's normal defiance. "Come on, Fate. We can't stay here too long. Have to leave Wukong. Follow me or you can COMPLETELY forget about that favor I owe you." She apparently hadn't realized that if he didn't lead her to the edge of Piltover himself, she wouldn't still owe him a favor.
(3 posts of running until I make it to the embassy.)
Sendrel saw his opportunity. Vi and Fate had been distracted after Wukong was injured, giving Sendrel just enough time to sprint ahead. He jumped extra high at the next building gap, crashing through the roof.
He sprinted along the top floor until he reached a wall. After coming to a stop, he focused energy into his staff. Glancing out of the window, he waited for the right time to strike.
It came quickly. He swung the staff at the wall with immense force, emitting a sonic wave on impact. The wall exploded outwards into the street in chunks of rock and glass, leaving a hole 6 feet in diameter behind. The debris fell directly over his prey's heads.

Twisted Fate noticed the cloud disintegrating rather quickly, which concerned him greatly. but Wukong managed one last burst of energy, which gave them a good lead. The Cardmaster leaped form the cloud and rolled the moment he hit the ground. He quickly got to his feet and noticed Wukong was wounded, and bleeding....most unfortunate. However, he was right that Twisted Fate would not think twice about leaving Wukong behind. After all he didn't gain much from keeping Wukong around...other than a meat shield.
However Vi seemed to remember the terms of their agreement....he mentally cursed that rare moment of brilliance of hers, and just sighed, "Ain't like Ah got much of a choice now do Ah? Cause' now Ah got Caitlyn n' Graves after me. Ah'm more worried bout' Caitlyn than Graves.
As he continued to run he heard something that sounded like an explosion and glanced behind him....odd Graves didn't fire any explosive round. So what on was that? Then the Cardmaster got an odd feeling and looked up to see a sizable chunk of a building coming down on him. Twisted Fate jumped out of the way, and kept an eye out for other debris. He drew three cards that glowed magically, and chucked them at some of the incoming debris cutting through some of the larger ones with ease. At least now the group wouldn't have to worry about getting crushed as much as they did before. However, that explosion seemed to cause a commotion among the civilians. Who now ran every which way to escape this terrorist attack.

((Problems... I got some prooooooblems... No seriously now.
Where are you? I'm pretty sure you all jumped down from that building earlier... And then Wukong's cloud simply hovered above the ground, didn't fly. So you are all on the street right now, not on the roofs right TF? Means that the Debris should block you and either Vi clears it up with her fists or whatnot because you will have to turn around. Either way, turning around or punching these debris, it will give time for Caitlyn to catch up. Thanks Sendrel.
I'll need a citation on that first though Message me or write me here, doesn't matter. Just tell me where the hell are you?))
Those that cause crime in Piltover, beware. I shall hunt you down and end you, one way or another. You can come with me to the station, or you can have a bullet between your eyes.
Wukong stopped to allow the others to go ahead, knowing he wouldn't be able to keep up very well with the pair. At the sound of the explosion, he glanced around quickly, before noticing the debris crashing down towards TF and Vi. The Monkey King dashed towards it as a pair of clones sprung from him using their powerful strikes to break chunks of the wall apart to help prevent it from hitting TF and Vi.
As Wukong landed, he'd grin back at TF and Vi, then turns to face the distant Caitlyn and Graves. A wince crossed his features, gripping his bloody shoulder quickly with gritting teeth.
The whisper of a voice reached his mind.. The sound of a Summoner calling for him. Wukong straightened and chuckled softly, "I'm needed elsewhere." He said with that jovial tone, waving sheepishly to Graves and Caitlyn before he'd disappear.
Sendrel calmly jumped out of the hole and down to the ground, cracking the sidewalk where he landed. Twisted Fate's cards were an unaccounted-for factor. Sendrel made a mental note about their sharpness before moving through the dust cloud and into the darkness of the alleys.
Sendrel had done all that he could at the present time, barring a frontal assault. But a frontal assault was bound to fail. He would have to track them from the shadows until another opportunity presented itself.

Vi cracked her mechanical knuckles as well as her neck. "Alright, guys, don't worry. I got this. Watch my back, okay?"
With that, she began lifting the rubble with little to no effort, throwing it into the air behind them to block Caitlyn's aim, if only for a couple of moments at a time. As soon as the rubble would be cleared, she'd make a dash again.
(Another three posts due to me wasting this one moving rubble.)

( Catching up)
The shell was loaded and he braced to fire, looking back up at Twisted Fate to see an oncoming Gold Card. Well damn, well played... The card struck him and he felt his muscles tighten, no matter how hard he tried to press the trigger it was to no avail. Twisted Fate had already gone on the run again and Graves could no so much as move his lip in anger. That goddamn bac-
His thought was interrupted with a sharp hit on the head from Caitlyn, snapping him out of the stun and making him stumble a bit. Before he could thank her she was back on the chase and he followed right on her heels. He did not care for any of the other fugitives, Twisted Fate was the one and only in his sights. When they caught up cait begin to fire at them, "well finally!" Graves thought. Though, Wukong took the hit for the others. Damn monkey in the fucking way.....and then some cyborg? Came jumping out off the damn roofs and sending everyone scattering. Wait, no civilians in the street now?
Graves dropped back down to his knee and took aim, finally pressing the trigger which was destined for TF just moments ago. A loud boom resonated throughout the area and the kickback caused Destiny to almost tear his arm off and throw the gun clear behind. A large red fireball went hurling at the group, luckily for Wukong he was summoned, so it passed him and hurled directly at Twisted Fate and Vi detonating at Max range with a loud boom and throwing shrapnel down the road and destroying parts of a few buildings nearby.

Vi heard the shot as it whistled through the air, but there was no way to dodge it. All she had time for was grabbing a piece of debris and using it as a makeshift shield. Luckily, it detonated at max range and didn't hit her directly; she would've been royally screwed otherwise. Instead, it absorbed most of the flak, only some of it imbedding itself into her gauntlets and her leg, dealing some pretty serious wounds to her legs, but nothing she couldn't walk in.
She dropped the rock, grunting in pain. The path was clear now, but she'd be a lot slower for a while. "Come on--ergh!--Fate. We need to move." She limped forwards, obviously in pain, and severely limited.
Sendrel heard the loud explosion behind him. He turned, thinking that he had accidentally blown a gas main. Instead, he saw Graves splayed out with a large imprint on his shoulder. He saw several damaged buildings at the end of the street. But most importantly, he saw Vi, her legs torn up, her armor dented. His chance had come. An impaired enemy was an easy target.
Sendrel leaped back into the field of rubble, swinging his staff at the back of Vi's head. He was prepared to finish this.

((Sorry for the late reply, time to catch up.))
Caitlyn heard a large crash and saw the wall coming down on the small street. Thankfully, there were little to no citizens in the street at the time. She sighed and continued along, noting that Graves has recovered. Vi and Twisted Fate were down near the rubbles, Vi was clearing them obviously. That little gypsy couldn't lift more than 3 cards at a time, not to mention so much debris.
She could've swore she saw Wukong a few seconds ago, but the aura around him and the 3 rings below him obviously meant he was summoned. "Lucky for him" she thought because someone would've had to take care of him, and it wasn't her so it would've been most likely Graves. "Nurse Graves, Heh" the thought clouded her mind for a moment, enough to let Graves shoot his collateral damage round.
Caitlyn noticed the damage to the street, luckily all the civilians have cleared out when the debris fell, couldn't say much about the buildings. She would need the PMC to enter the area and scout for any civilian casualty. She couldn't decide what was worse, a robot that was about to smack Vi's head with a staff that could either injure her to the point of no-return or to be mad at Graves that could've killed them both should the round backfire. "You, are a fool" Caitlyn said to Graves as she attempted to place a silvered, steel handcuff on his hand. Should she continue successfully and place both of them on his hands, she would shoot the robotic figure that is about to hit Vi with a net, restraining him. Should Graves resist, she will need to restrain him and be unable to care for Vi and Twisted Fate.
Graves have gone over the top. If he did not realize with her slap that you do not shoot explosives when it can endanger civilians then he was more thick than that grudge of his.
Those that cause crime in Piltover, beware. I shall hunt you down and end you, one way or another. You can come with me to the station, or you can have a bullet between your eyes.

Twisted Fate heard what sounded like a cannon firing and saw a bright red fireball screaming toward him. Twisted Fate cursed and dove to the ground and then he heard the second deafening explosion. There was a sharp pain in a part of his back and shoulders as shrapnel found its mark. He grunted in pain and looked at the damage. Nothing fatal, but boy did it hurt though!
The Cardmaster stood and shook his head trying to remove the ringing from his ears. He looked around as his vision cleared and saw some cyborg thing preparing swinging his staff at Vi. Twisted Fate drew a card from a deck in his belt, which caused him to flinch due to moving his shoulders, and launched it, this would had a red outline along the edges of the card. However, it wasn't Twisted Fate's red card..no rather this was his a skill he called stacked deck. He card was tossed at the staff the cyborg held, should the card hit the staff, it would propel the staff backward and away from Vi.
Twisted Fate wasted no time, it seems they had to leave the express way. Twisted Fate drew another two cards his eye barely caught them, the tarot card of strength and king of swords. The cards glowed as Twisted Fate used his magical powers to enchant them. He launched the two at the same time. The tarot card of strength glowed brightly then the glow quickly faded as the king of swords card glowed even brighter afterwards. Getting hit by this card would feel as though one was stabbed by two dozen swords. Regardless of the cyborgs actions, Twisted Fate grabbed Vi and helped her move much a bit faster before stopping.
Under his hat was a golden twinkle as Twisted Fate imagined the Zaunite Embassy in Piltover. He focused and imagined himself and Vi there. At his feet a stack of cards began to spread out around The Enforcer and the Cardmaster.
((Channeling, unless stopped will teleport to Zaunite Embassy by my next post!))
