As the shinobi fended off the barrage of shots fired while behind the support beam, he heard the sounds of something coming coming at him from above. Looking straight ahead, a rocket was aimed dead at him. It came pretty close to hitting him, but he gracefully flipped out of the way while the rocket struck the bottom of the support beam, crumbling that section in particular into rubble as it was barely hanging on. Where they seriously intending on bringing the place down if it meant scoring a hit on him? He'd probably be able to escape out before something like that would happen, but he didn't know if Lambda could. Ignoring the support beam since it'd take them breaking about dozens more of them to really tear the place down, he focused his attention on the guys who momentarily stopped firing at him from above, lots of movement being heard from the second level and the sound of a few of them leaping down. Well, this was going to be fun if they were aerobic enough to leap one story.
Now was a good time to put his trained eyes in the dark to use, as Lambda's flare thing wasn't going to help brighten the place up anymore. After all, it wasn't pitch black, so he could still see. Given how he could literally see them coming at him from the same direction he killed the other two, the guys likely had some night vision googles on. But it was time to surprise them that his vision was just as good. As he sped towards one of the pitch black spots, he waited it out until he spotted about three men in the same gear as the other two were almost completely in close contact. Using the element of surprise, the nimble fighter hopped out from the shadows and hooked one arm over the closest one's throat to hold him still. By the time the other two were readying themselves to attack, Magnus give his captive a swift end as he forced his sword's edge into the side of the assassin's neck and decapitating him instantly.
Since both of them were equipped with dual pistols, they opened fire on the ninja immediately as he was forced to duck and roll away before regaining his footing and gunning straight towards a wall towards the closest assassin. It was going to prove difficult to go for a frontal assault since he'd get shot down instantly, so as soon as he made contact with the wall, he kicked both feet into it after a leap and ran straight upwards while kicking his acceleration speed into high gear, zipping up the wall like a fast rodent. With enough distance, he back flipped off the wall after he reached his wall running limit and dropped down almost like a lightning strike while gripping his sword's hilt with both hands. Since his back flip off the wall made him fall just an inch behind one of his assailants, he target couldn't turn around quick enough to prevent his demise, as the flashy swordsman cleaved through his target from head to toe as he tore through flesh and bone with the aid of his dropping strength. If he kept at this speed, they wouldn't be able to react quick enough, which was his plan.
The last of the three decided to ditch his guns and pulled out a beam dagger to engage in close combat. Recovering from the fall, Magnus couldn't immediately strike back and was forced to dodge a few of the swipes. But his opponent should have stuck to shooting at him, as a dagger vs. sword was a bad idea...but he decided to give him a lesson the harsh way as he took out one of his reinforced kunai knives and darted it at his opponent's forehead. The knife struck through the armored layer of his helmet and left him disoriented for a moment. The ninja took advantage of this and gave himself a thrust forth along with his blade, ramming it through the enemy's chest and aiming a kick to the stomach to rocket the assassin off his blade into a random direction as he dropped dead. But when he thought he was in the clear for now, he sounds of several shots firing at once roar above his head as his initial reaction was to dash away into a random direction.
When he was safe, he perked up as there was another on the second floor unleashing a barrage of shots from a Gatling gun. He didn't know where the one was who shot the rocket at him, but this was more important to focus on. Magnus kept jumping back and forth between abandoned barrels and another support beam as he was given no sort of opportunity to sneak away. This was pretty tight...but he had to find an opening and throw one of his shurikens above. This guy was giving him no breaks at all. But then it occurred to him that the support beam he was hiding behind had another wall next to it and he also realized the beam was very close to the platform of the second level. Looks like it was wall climbing again, as he had a rather risky plan...but if successful, he could attack those still sneaking around at the top.
After working his strategy through his head quickly, the shinobi quickly moved into action as he got the assailant's attention instantly. The moment he was fired upon, he leaped and kicked the wall with both feet, then launched himself sideways towards the pillar as he repeated the process with rapid motion and succession with his wall hopping ability. It was only a matter of time before he reached the center of the support beam and leaped off quickly and rolling on the platform. This was perfect since that gatling gun was heavy and his opponent had to take his time to haul it over to his side...though Magnus was NOT going to give him to time to do that. Using his fastest rate of movement speed after rising from the landing, he blurred forth and was also running on adrenaline since there was a chance he'd still get shot. But by the time the gunman properly aimed his weapon and fired again, Magnus was already a couple of feet away before halting in his tracks and going for another leap to his opponent's side to confuse and dodge him, then with a final step forth, he sliced through his opponent, severing him from his lower body and the other half falling off and all the way down to the bottom floor. If he was even a second slower, he would have had a whole chest full of bullets right now!
What to do now? He didn't hear anything else coming at him, but it was actually a little easier to see at the top. He knew more were up there though, as they could still hide behind certain objects. Guess he had to rely on his natural sense now to avert the next attacks that may come upon him. He wondered how Lambda was faring, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to head back into her general direction last he remembered if nothing else jumped out on him. Wiping a bit of blood out from his face, he had to tread carefully since it was still pretty dark.
