[ The attackers may be aiming for silence. But Hei has already resolved to trade stealth for speed -- and fury. ]
[ When the next tentacle swings toward him, he's ready. Leaping clear, Korra slung across one shoulder, he lets fly a set of glinting stilettos in the general direction of his attacker. If they strike, good. If not -- it's a ruse, anyway. He's utilized the feint to launch a wire toward the closest building, rearing up nearly five stories high, gathering speed and momentum like a soundwave -- before his feet hit the rooftop. He doesn't stay there, though. His focus is on the modest-sized water tower, positioned at the edge. ]
[ In a series of weaving movements, he's looped his wires around the structure. In the next instant, a flash of electricity strikes the steely supports, exploding the tank like the skin of a giant balloon, branding the exoskeleton shape in the retinas of everyone nearby. In the flare of luminescence, water erupts everywhere, a brutal deluge spilling over the rooftop's edge to drench everything below. ]
[ It's not Hei's usual method. But right now he's aiming for something bombastic. Something guaranteed to alert the guards who patrol the parameter of danger. ]
[ And the plus side? The ground around his opponents will be soaking wet. The ideal surface to use his ability. ]
