Scylla Awakens
Like an explosion appendages fired out of Scylla in all directions turning her into the center of a sun comprised of razor sharp black beams. Without rhyme or reason the arrow-headed points struck, cracking concrete, impaling steel and shattering ice. Even as most of her body hollowed out Hebiru focused as much on the combatants as possible to ensure she wouldn't cause too much harm. The assistance of Yuki Onna through her earbud proved crucial when she lost sight of Michael for a while.
Her gaze first settled upon the door hurtling her way. Redirecting several of the forward facing appendages its way to send it back his way she made sure to reduce the force behind them once the door's momentum had been inverted. It wouldn't do for the impact with Jouma to cause the appendages to pierce through and cause damage more severe than she'd been intending. Due to the redirection of part of her attack the remaining strikes aimed Ylva's way pierced through the ice dome but missed the figure within leaving her unharmed, much like the third figure her gaze flicked to.
Too much had been going on to focus on everyone before her attacks arrived and her attention only turned towards Elijah as the strikes were beginning to land. Luckily he had managed to divert most of her appendages by himself other than the one piercing through his prosthetic arm. She didn't bother to redirect the ones he deflected, her goal here wasn't to cause harm after all. With three accounted for that left only one more. Now where was he?
With her attacks having reached their targets and a brief lull appearing in the battle Hebiru looked to both of her sides to check for any sign of something red. Failing to see anything she began to withdraw several of the appendages within her line of sight that had missed while extending the ones on her lower back that were freezing further and further up. With some of her range of motion restored she began to turn around to check why Michael was uncharacteristically abse-
"Gorgon! Clear your six now!"
Hearing her colleague's rushed words Hebiru didn't even hesitate to pull back all appendages behind her as fast as she could. Given that Yuki Onna even got her operational name wrong it was clearly urgent. So much of her focus went into the next moment that she forgot to feign an expression of surprise, her eyes failing to widen leaving her face looking uncannily expressionless.
She wasn't going to make it in time.
Since a clean solution was out of reach Hebiru prioritized preventing long-term injuries over preventing harm entirely. An arm motion and a flick of her wrist caused several of the arrowheads to tilt to the side, cutting with their edges instead of piercing all the way through with the point. They still bit deep when Michael expanded into them but no longer would they risk causing lethal damage.
The crash combined with the airbag maneuver forced Scylla to make the appendages aiming down and to the sides more malleable to minimize damage, bending under the impact so they did not break. It caused the two of them to sway forward as Hebiru struggled to maintain their position. Something that was made all the harder when a layer of ice locked them both in place, restricting her range of motion and forcing her to strain her external appendages lest they crash to the ground. The earbuds everyone had on crackled to life the moment the frost settled.
"Team F, cease combat. Congratulations on your successful capture," Mai spoke through the mic before letting out a relieved sigh once she let go of the push-to-talk button. With another push she signaled the support and medical teams to head for the area of combat. With a smile she looked through the screens showing the scene of their battle. It had all turned out well. Truly, the current roster of students may just be the most promising one UAU had seen in a while.

TL;DR: Congratulations on your victory!
OOC: Welcome to the finale of the Hostage Rescue simulation everyone! This one will consist of three rounds, each of which will last a week. To ensure smooth proceedings here's a tough guideline of what these rounds will comprise of.
Round 1: The villain's all out assault. Make your way to her while avoiding, parrying or blocking strikes and begin your assault lest you face defeat.
Round 2: Combat, brief but intense. This is where you'll get Scylla's reactions to your initial strikes and get to push your attack.
Round 3: Capture or prevent escape. Depending on how the past two rounds went this will either be your chance to finalize the capture or attempt to slow Scylla's escape.
The thread has now concluded. Great job everyone!
