The still disguised Panda sighed as he watched the mayhem from a shaded
store front. A cab, police car, airplane, hopping purple hard-suited Kendra,
Prodinator, Kergma and Stargazer were standing in the middle of the street
arguing as the last bits of glow faded from inside the cab. It looked

like Wing

Stargazers monitors register the transport, but they also inform him that only
one being was 'ported out of the cab, the same one who 'ported in.  He
thinks to himself, "Hun?  Thats not Panda, so who just did that? Oh, well.
If it wasn't my prey, it doesn't matter. I'd better see if he's nearby."
Stargazer leaves the arguement and walks into a nearby restaurant so that
he could use his scanning equipment without the other 'hunters learning any
thing from him. He orders BBQ spare ribs, and some eggrolls to munch on
while his scanners search in the small hope that he could still trace 
Panda by the radiation of his disguise equipment.

With that Panda and the two burly yakuza exited Grandafather Chang's
restaurant, and were soon well away from the still chaotic scene out front.
As the scene developed into a traffic jam, several of the particpants
abandoned the endless argument and sought refuge in the tiny restaurant,
while the police were busy writing traffic violations. Chang just smiled and
handed out menus while thinking to himself, "That Panda-kun! He bring me
business whenever he in trouble!"

Stargazer's equipment suddenly gets a fix on Panda, "He's here?!?!?" Stargazer
suddeny shouts outloud.  Suddenly, the signal starts moving faster, as 
though Panda had gotten into a new vehicle.  "I'm gonna get that Fuzzy, and
make him REALLY endangered!"  Stargazer suddenly 'ports oput of the restuarant,
much to the surprise and disagreement of the nearby yakuza, management, and
waiter (who didn't get his tip)!
Stargazer is quite fed up with the whole chase, "Now its time to get serious!"
He 'ports in a Battletech Marauder II-c.  He climbs up into the cockpit.
"This shouldn't be too hard to piliot."  He overides the security lockouts,
puts on the neurohelmet and 'ports the whole mech to a block in front of
the yakuza car. As it comes speeding down the road, he fires 3 ER-PPCs
into the road in front of it, causing the car to spin-out as it swerves to

avoid

the sudddenly made pit.  The occupants of the car hear the following boom over
loud-speakers: "My scanners detect Panda in that car. You WILL surrender him
immediately... or else."  The mech walks over to the car and meaningfully

lowers

its cannon/arms and aims the upper torso mounted cannon at the car.

Kendra was running down the street, following the scent of bamboo-breath
when her scanners suddenly went bezerk, telling her of a LARGE amount of
power and a weapons discharge.  Her scanners brought her to the source of
the power readings and her sensitive ears picked up what the mech was
saying.  "Panda's in there??
PAAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDDAAAAAAA-CCCCCCCCHHHHHHHAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
she yelled and threw herself at the mech, kicking it in the chest with both
feet and making it stagger backwards.  She dove into the car after landing
on her feet (it's a cat thing:) and found two confused guys and a keypad
thing.  She picked up the keypad thinking "Neato! New toy!" and magically
altered her armor enough to attach it on the left arm, protected with a
small armor plate, turning it off as she does so, making Stargazers sensors
go dark.  Seeing the mech finally righting itself and aiming right for her,
she game it a bright cheery smile and 'ported up to a nearby roof, following
the scent of bamboo-breath once more...
