 Rem Estellise La Faustina Nipal
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good thing her face was already red.
Mai’s taunts got a glance before she was summarily dismissed.
!”You’re visitors!” she gathered from their attire. ”Don’t shame your country by- hey!”
Raeka wasn’t interested. The red-faced redhead gritted her teeth at the sight of the cheap shot, and she seized that inner flame once more! If that’s how they wanted to play it, fine. Motes of vibrant green surrounded her, gathering around her hands! She flung her hand out and the embers exploded into a swirl of emerald fireflies racing down toward the fighters! They struck Eren.
”Esuna.”
The green motes burned away the cloud of darkness, caressing Eren with a gentle warmth and returning his sight to him once more! With Raeka now in arm’s reach.
However, Rem was still holding onto more. Her other hand swirled with the same green energy, paling until it was the faint green shade of rot. She cast it out- this time at Raeka. The swath rushed over him, covering his skin with the feeling of crawling insects, and tightened like a lasso around his throat.
”Silence.”
Hic!
Status: Protect, “Poison”
—
”Koyuki Rieko, I am going to wring your worthless neck!”
Only Kalen could hear his mother. She was speeding through the dark streets toward the spot Kalen and then Surveillance had seen multiple magical effects going off. That was bad enough, but Kaijuu?! Koyuki had lost her mind!
The truck crashed through two barricades before coming to a squealing stop on the construction site. The dust hadn’t even settled before Nona was out the door, racing for the central hoist which lifted materials from ground level to the topmost regions of the skyscraper-in-progress. Expecting Kalen to follow, she grabbed a dangling switch and hit it, causing the hoist to jutter into motion. It began to lift the two upward, toward the sky. She sucked in a breath and let it out.
”I’m sorry, Kalen,” she said over the whine of the engine which was already fading as they rose up above the ground. ”You…You shouldn’t have to deal with this.” The sins of parents always passed to their children.
…
”I was thirteen the first time my father hit me,” Nona said. It was the first time Kalen had ever heard her speak of her family. ”I got into SeeD to get away. And I swore I’d never make my kids be around someone who hurt them.” She set her fierce brown eyes on him, illuminated sporadically by the lights of the city in-between struts and i-beams. Her gaze was furious, but her voice was gentle.
”You don’t have to be here.”
Status: Bad

Status: N/A Location: concert Company: unita and mom Thoughts: Home
Weapons: Hrunting ll Thunder Rose
Magic: Crystal Stock: Earth (x10)
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
Follow your heart and find your destiny
Won't shed a tear, for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality Drive Fast Theme
Thunder and lightning rolled in the distance, flashing across the window of the truck. Nona's speed was certainly noticable, her son having not even bothered to loosen his grip even remotely whilst they calvalcaded across the highway towards the outskirts of the city, some older buildings being restored or demolished to be constructed anew. How many times had Rem and he decided to go adventuring through these old buildings in their youth, despite being told not to because it 'dangerous?' A few times too many. Honestly, part of him wished that his sister was here right now, wondering if she was okay doing whatever she was doing as the festival and concert continued onwards. Sis loved this time of year, and loved the pomp and circumstance of it all.
The thoughts were pleasantly distracting as more lightning brought him back to reality, a deep breath leaving the confines of his chest, tension in the air and in his lips. So much for a peaceful homecoming... He had hoped it would have been smooth saying into a new life, come home during what is generally a joyous time for everyone in UNITA and engage with society once more. Leave to family to ******** up plan's for family. It was like poetry, it rhymed. The trucks rumbling kept him alert by default at this point, only leaning forward as a loud roar coerced across the entirety of Eden City.
One more deep breath.
"That's a big boy, ain't it?" he muttered, having heard the tales through his travels of this particular Guardian Force, Kaijuu. His birth mother had obtained it some time ago and it was indeed a monolith of a creature, almost an ice sculpture that seemed to precipitate the concept of destruction just by its appearance alone. It was also an omen that something was going on with the tiny silver haired woman, and it was only spelling a more complicated experience for the President and Prince of UNITA.
It took only a moment before the truck finally came to a complete halt. Kalen was slightly nervous, having never engaged in a probable conflict like this but having dealt with many a guardian force before. Some peaceful...some not so. The entire scenario also was not helped by knowing that, he would have to face this crazy woman who had brought him into this world and despite his new found purpose and philosophy, he really did not know if he could pull through it with her. After ten years, he had tried to dislike her. She had given him nothing but reason to do so, but all he could feel at the end of it all was apathetic pity. And he wished that he didn't feel that way towards her still, a small hint of guilt even lying on his conscience.
There had been no words coming from him, as he trailed his ma onto the worksite lift and they had begun to escalate the large building. Bits and pieces of Kaijuu could be seen through the constantly changing backdrop of construction, a slow motion exhibition of the power and strength that these creatures could possess.
Nona had spoken to him, but he remained silent, deep in thought as he took in her words. Shouldn't have to deal with this... That was one way to take it too, his frame shifting to look at his mom fully to show the youthful expression normally dressed on his face slathered instead with a furrow of concern and apprehension. Part of him agreed with her. The smile he had was curled downards now, betraying a look with his hair somewhat similar to the father who had bore him as his mother told her small tale.
She didn't speak about them much, her old family. But to be fair, like her, he barely did either to anyone. A sore spot for the both of them, though it certainly did not stop him from doting and bragging about Yukiko to others...the other two though...
Kalen Vicaria did not take his mother's words for granted.
"I wanted to go to Winhill because I know Dad went there." It wasn't often that he brought up his birth father, not out of malice, but rather...what was there to remember? Not much. "I wanted to walk in his foot steps and get a taste of what it was like to be there. I thought I could find my own way..." His voice trailed, gripping the rail of the elevator as it climbed higher, "I only found my way by going out into the world and seeing everything he never got to see and appreciate." It seemed like he was rambling, but Kalen was not often one to ramble without having some sort of conclusion with a purpose. A young man who played the fool at conveniences' sake but was anything BUT that.
"I...read...heard from someone that, kids don't have to worry and shouldn't about the troubles of the world, the troubles of their elders. But at some point, those kids have to grow up. They have to be places they shouldn't be, or would rather not be. A good person has to be there when others aren't willing to." You only get one family...take care of it. The words felt heavy in his pants pocket, the little leather journal resting carefully against his frame.
"I don't want to be here Mom, but I do HAVE to be here." Blue eyes and brow hardened, almost in a glare that Nona could proudly call one of her own, his hands grasping the single revolver on his waist. "I can't be a kid anymore."
The elevator shuttered as it came to a halt, Kalen opening the gate and leading the way out as he and Nona walked forward onto the roof, a giant monster and crazy bloody woman before them. A pit formed in his stomach at the sight of her, lightning crackling around her crazed expression like an ethereal storm. Right as they entered, a newcomer came, which Kalen's eyes could only widen as he exlclaimed,
"Nyale?!" Guardian Force: none Status: Silent

Items:
Cosmic Magic ShooterEverything had gone dark just as soon as he had braced himself. One yell from Rem, and Eren held the air deep in his chest, sight gone but still prepared to do some damage. Green flowed around him as he prepared to react in a very dangerous and over the top manner to those surrounding him, knowing for a fact that the little rat b*****d was going to try and hit him blind like the little coward rat that he was. Some might call it fair play, but to Eren this was a man vs man competition and Raeka had just thrown the rulebook right out of the window. "Sto-" Golem flashed in his mind, yellow pulsing to warn him and informing him that this was NOT a good idea, especially with the crowd of people that had surrounded them. Civilians...damnit, he was going to be hit, wasn't he? That question was answered with his sight returning immediately as Rem's spell pulled the darkness away from his eyes, the growl turning to a small grin as he thanked the little queen above him for the support provided. I haven't forgotten about taking ya to space, babe. His thoughts turned towards Raeka as he became aware of his presence right in front of him. "Slow."Perhaps Raeka that thought that he was just some ruffian, but Eren was a qualified kick boxer at his core, training any day that he wasn't in a lab or garage working on some new fangled piece of equipment that they threw in front of him. The time spell covered Raeka right as he threw the kick and Eren went into a counter offensive. One thing was certain, he wasn't apprehensive of taking a shot from someone of a smaller stature than him. He was MADE for taking damage in fights and delivering it back in tenfold. Rem however, had turned a negative situation into a positive one. Raeka was in his wheelhouse. His jaw had braced for the oncoming punch, the alcohol having given him a slight misjudge on if he could even juke or block it at this point in the venture. That all changed with the change in Raeka's body movement, the slow effect giving Eren just enough time to see the change. Raeka'd shin lashed out to try and hit Eren's knee and dislocate, if not outright shatter it. Fine by Eren. That one kick was enough for the pink haired man to step inward of the kick, nullifying it, moving towards Raeka's frame and spin, launching a back elbow strike right towards Raeka's center of face. Raeka was slowed. Raeka was off balance. Raeka was in Eren's attack zone. If Mae advanced, the stonera spell he had been saving was going right into her face. A regular ******** Ruffian he was not. He was a god damned ruffian SeeD.

Everyone
Status: Hell Is Breaking Loose
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ At no point did Yukiko think that she would be carried so suddenly by Nyale. In her drunken stupor all she could mutter was a squeak and a blush when Nyale scooped her up with her angelic wings out. If things weren't getting so heated, Yukiko might have enjoyed this a little more, even if she intended to keep that to herself. She had to keep herself looking away from Nyale, trying to hide that flushed expression. If she ever were to comment about it, she would have just passed it off as the heat of the alcohol in her cheeks, but that would have been a lie. Thankfully it never was brought up, and that was perfectly fine with Yukiko. But now they were here, at the scuffle, and all she could do was watch with apprehension. That look only turned into utter fear when the ground began to rumble and she heard that familiar roar. "N-No... That's.... Mom..." But, her cousin was here! She couldn't just leave her, or Ny- and she was gone. Taking off into the sky, Yukiko could do nothing but look on in horror as she saw her new friend just fly off towards her mother like that. She was not so sure that was a good idea, and right now she was in no condition to help.
"s**t!" She was too drunk for this.
Mai, despite the fact that there was a rampaging monster in the background, was utterly pissed still at Eren, and since she was being ignored she took that was a blatant insult and disregard of her presence. At first she was fine to watching her man duke it out and brawl with the boy, but with the princess getting involved and attempting to silence her man, that proved to be the last draw. Without hesitation, Mai drew her gun, rapidly loading it with such swift movement that it practically was borderline supernatural with how quick she could load that gun and fire it at Eren.
The bullet came right into his ribcage, though it did not penetrate him. Instead he felt his connection to his mana had been temporarily severed as the bullet imploded on him on impact, leaving a flash of ethereal energy and a ripple effect around his shirt, tearing it where the bullet landed. She then followed it up by charging forward at Eren and swinging her right fist towards his ribcage, intending to punch him exactly where she shot her bullet into him, and if she was successful, her right arm would trigger its cybernetic mechanism and unleash a rapid burst of jet flames from her elbows and unleash a secondary recoil punch from the shockwave force of her gauntlet, sending him crashing into the side of a building.
No one was going to get away with ignoring her, or hurt her man if she was going to have a say about it.
But now, the show was underway. Helicopters, emergency vehicles, military vehicles all were making their way to the construction site, lights flashing upon the massive GF as it stood over and remained in its guarded stance, remaining hovered over Koyuki to protect her, not that she needed or wanted it. The first to arrive was Nyale, and she got to witness quite the sight of the headmaster of Trabia Garden. Her derranged smile was wide, and she seemed particularly tickled by her presence here. "You wanted a front row seat to the show did you Nyale? Do you like my friend?" She asked, following it up with quite an insane laughter of excitement. "I don't need any help. I couldn't be feeling any better right now! I haven't been this happy in so very long." She spoke out, just as Kalen was arriving on scene alongside Nona. The look on Koyuki's face as she saw her son would bring terror to any regular person, that unhinged smile she gave him, it was beyond unnerving. "Well if it isn't my dear sweet baby boy! Come to see what your mother can do? Have you come to watch me? Should I feel flattered?! Should I welcome you with open arms?! Huh?!" That lightning around her crackled and snapped across the landscape, singing the ground around her as she looked towards Nona. "Oh... Wait... That's right. I am not your mother. You've brought her right to me. Good boy. Very good. Hahahahahaa.... hahahahahahaha!!!" She was laughing, outright laughing with such unbridled unresolved fury behind it. "It's so funny to see the look of fear on your faces! Do I terrify you that much son?! Are you afraid to be held by me?! What about you, Ms. Laytos? Care to shake hands with a monster like me? Or perhaps you Mrs. President?! My so called... "friend". Shall we bury the hatchet? Or, perhaps that look on your face means you want to bury a hatchet into me. Hahahaha! You can certainly try! But who knows what I might do right now! I'm just itching to show the world what I can do." She said with pure utter visceral rage behind that tone.
But everyone would see the squad that came here with Koyuki arrive here, landing on the rooftop and guarding not just Kalen, but the president and Nyale. Babel was in the front of everyone, while Tsitsho, and Hayahiko were in the back guarding the kids, and both Varitas and Selphie were guarding the president. Koyuki's attention turned to every one of them, and she seemed to grow gleeful almost. "Good! Good! There's more of you! I was hoping that I would get to have a challenge! A president who hasn't seen a battlefield in over twenty years and two kids weren't going to be enough to satiate me! So come on! Make me feel something again! Make me bleed!" And with that, her lightning exploded and she took a battle stance, and it was at that point that Kaiju roared loudly once more, and turned its attention to Hades, opening its mouth as it charged up an orb of mana at the centerpoint of its throat. Everyone could see the creature's mouth light up with a bright blue light, but it was not ready to fire just yet, and Koyuki's squad knew that.
"SLEEP!" Babel shouted, attempting to put Koyuki down before this fight even kicked off; but Kaiju was faster, and just as the sleep spell came towards Koyuki, the creature shielded its body over her, absorbing the spell as nothing happened. "Children, get out of here right now! This is not a battle you want to take part in!" And as if to ensure that the children did not get involved, Hades flew behind the group, landing behind Kalen and Nona. "We will subdue Koyuki. Leave us now. This is not a request." Babel ordered Nona and Kalen, and by extension Nyale. From the back, Nyale could see Tsitsho's body glowing red, and the sense of strong residual magic surging from the sky above. He was going to summon his GF. Tori, for her part, decided to help the others with her exceptionally fast channeling. "Float. Float." Two individual float spells were rapidly fired out towards Kalen and Nona, giving them some bit of flight, but it was more so for them to safely jump off the building if necessary. Since Nyale had her own wings, she didn't bother casting that spell on her. Selphie then sprang into action as well, setting up protective spells on everyone. "Hastaga! Shellga! Protectga!"
No answer. Either Marcus was in a meeting, or he was aware of what Matthias was doing. Either way, she simply hung up her phone, forgoing the call entirely as things were kicking off across the city. Aiming through the scope of her pistol, the targeting system sprang into action, Xaris reaching into her satchel to pull out her pistol attachments to transform it into a sniper rifle. Her eyes widened when she noticed Nyale on the rooftops after Matthias disappeared. What the hell was she doing there?! She quickly readjusted, changing the ammunition in her gun to pulse rounds as she was fully prepared to start blasting the GF, just waiting for the opportunity.
And that opportunity would come once she saw the light in the GF's mouth come to view. With Koyuki taking a fighting stance and preparing to attack, Xaris took in a deep breath, waiting, and watching as Varitas made the first move, charging at Koyuki as she charged right back to meet him one on one. The clash between the two was devastating, the rooftop floor cracking beneath their feet as blow after blow between the two left them causing the ground to quake beneath them. When Kaiju was about to swing its claw down on the platform while everyone was still on it, that was when Xaris let it have it. "Haste..." Like a full auto machine gun, Xaris let out a barrage of bullets that came flying out at Kaiju, each pulse round so powerful and devastating that it was like rockets punching into the beast, but it only seemed to piss it off as it roared loudly, being interrupted by Xaris.

 Salem Everett
Status: Annoyed
Location: Fancy-Lads Party
____________________________________________________
Salem had been spending the time after the opening celebration attending the after-parties. So many people of importance always wanted to strut their stuff in front of all the other would be socialites and people of power. Mr. Everett had been using his unethical influences to get in with all these snobs for years now, and was now considered a usual attendee despite rarely being directly involved in anything.
But that was what he preferred. However as the lights flickered, the ground shook, and the chandeliers made the blinking shadows dance, the fancy lad had to take a step outside. "Wonderful." He said, motioning over a waitress and returning his half gulped drink to her plate, before snapping to security. "That monstrosity is the sign of a Trabia tantrum. Keep the people inside and from panicking. I'll be back."
His personal assistant already had his vehicle pulled around, and once he was in it followed pretty much the same trajectory as Nona's. Blitzing the way through the city to get on site as soon as possible, but he made a phone call to his sister on the way. "Lis. It's lovely to talk, but you need to find the kids. I'm going to make sure whatever s**t show that's been allowed to happen stops. Love you, see you soon."

 President Breowitz
Status: Pretty Good.
Location: Within the Galbadian political estate
____________________________________________________
Sadly he had missed Xaris' call. He had to keep the First Lady comfortable, however that had been momentarily settled. Still he had been kept appraised of the situation by his staff. He flashed a smile at Matthias before pulling him aside. The exchange of words was quiet, but heated, before he pulled the younger man around and shoved him towards a seat. The President himself fell within a chair and the television was turned on. Cameras had turned upon the emerging disaster and people were being told to keep calm. The Trabian special response team and Unita's very best were on the scene, and while the narration didn't mention it, Xaris was representing Galbadia well.
This could work. He looked over at the grinning Keller. He hated that this position had been pushed forward, but it was one that could hold well. "Get Lady Nipal on the line. See if she needs any of our Busters on the scene."
_____________________________________________________
Status: Doin' her job.
Location: In the thick of it.
Robin was in her prime now. She had grown up during the war and seen more than she should have, no matter how much her father tried to protect her. She was one of the forefront stars of the show in the last two Concerts, her performance in the SeeD competitions and Engineering displays were over the top but charming in a way. But yet it really came down to a dirty truth, she still had a job as a SeeD, and today when a god damned kaiju decided to show up, she was a first responder.
Still, an Esthar in Unita was an under informed operative. Everyone still seemed to be mobilizing, and so the girl made her way herself. "Haste!" Speed was of importance. "Float!" She hated this one, but when she took a mighty leap, she began clearing city blocks.
Robin came sliding in past Kalen, grabbing the boy by the shirt. "Ya wanna help, don't ya? Git on out of 'ere, make sure people are safe and don't git in da way or I swear I'll really take ya to space." With that she pushed him back, probably too much with Float in play, but she used her actual 'I'm not joking' strength on the boy. She pointed at Nyale in the next instance. "Pixie, you too, civilian protection and evacuation duty. Git movin'."
This was no place for the minor leagues, and considering the rest of the First Grades here, it was far beyond their paygrades. Hopefully redirecting their first thoughts on how to help would, well, help. Darting to the side of the fight, letting the Trabia team focus on Koyuki, Robin was more concerned about the literal giants about to go to play. She had to give her team the edge, to remove the escalation factor as fast as possible. Holding a hand up, she focused as a powerful red energy formed and fired up at Kaiju. "MELTDOWN!" This spell basically reset Vitality and Spirit back to zero, meaning shrugging off the absolute cavalcade of punishment wouldn't be feasible.

Raeka Everett-Maris Status: Slowed
Location: The Game Stalls
____________________________________________________
Insects crawling all over your skin was a unfortunate sensation. It was a foul return to home for a moment, covered in decaying leaves and insects a plenty crawling over what felt like your corpse. His Mother's survival training was intense, at least what he experienced in her grace period before they decided all of the Everett-Maris children were grown enough they didn't need their mother anymore.
Silence. It was a smart move, honestly, one that he couldn't blame the prep girl for. Keeping someone who focused on magic such as himself out of spells was the best thing to do on the fly. Not that it worked, but honestly, he doubted this cotton-candied looking fool knew any better. He would play along. You can't prepare for variables you think are impossible. Still, between that and the slow spell put on him, Raeka's plan had sort of fallen all apart. But that's why the offensive was so non-committal. He had only begun to find the rhythm.
The thug had given himself a way a bit. Slow was no joke of a spell, which meant he was most likely a SeeD considering his age. Likely from the a** pit of nowhere considering his accent, but it let Raeka know this was a bit more complicated than a simple street idiot. As the big man stepped in to avoid the kid, Raeka's heart fluttered when he heard the familiar retort of Mai's sidearm. He couldn't really react to a bullet in his condition, so he only moved forwards with his plan and he'd probably survive the consequences.
See. Raeka was a bit of a freak. Double jointed in every way possible, hell his musculature was built to allow him to control his body both ways. Keeping with the moment of his attack, he switched his leg around to hook it back over Eren's. The pink haired boys spin allowed Raeka to catch it, and in a attempt to convert the momentum and pose into a throw. The ivory haired boy pulled his right leg up to hopefully remove Eren's footing, and utilize his right arm to direct Eren's hopeful topple.
He hadn't even noticed the giant monster battle in the background. He was too incensed by this current moment. Boy was all caught up in his head.

I know I'll wither, so peel away the bark

The good news was that the giant GF seemed to have stopped. The bad news was...well Koyuki looked like she was having a really rough time. Ny could feel the massive energy sparking off the bloodied, crazed woman and her weapon, and she kept her distance, still watching her warily. The GF too gave her cause for serious concern, as she sensed his passive osmosis. A GF like that was the absolute worst type for her to be near. Any magic used on it would be utterly pointless.
"Yeah, no. Believe me when I say I really, really do not want a front row seat to this..." She replied, becoming more concerned by the second from Koyuki's statements and her deranged appearance. She started to back away slowly.
It was then that she heard the sound of the elevator behind her arriving, but the young sorceress didn't take her eyes off Koyuki even when she heard Kalen's voice behind her. Koyuki was speaking before Ny could say a word to him, and she realised Nona was there too. Okay this is some insane family drama... Ny thought, feeling a wave of regret for Kalen.
Things escalated very quickly after that, with the Trabian entourage suddenly showing up and ordering them to leave as Koyuki prepared to battle. As everything kicked off and the battle began Ny turned and ran back over to Kalen and Nona, boosted by the haste cast from Selphie, and also sensing the other protective spells activate on everyone. The last thing she wanted to do was get in the way if the Trabian team had a plan to stop Koyuki, but unless Kalen and Nona left the rooftop, she wasn't planning to either. She could easily fly off at any point, so it wasn't a huge concern for her. She grabbed Kalen's sleeve.
"I came over to see what was happening and I just found her like that! I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on with her" She explained, giving Kalen a worried look. She hadn't heard anything from him about his mom's recent mental state, so to say it was a shock was an understatement.
When the hail of bullets hit the GF Ny's gaze snapped across to where it came from - a distant skycraper, with a familiar mass of ominous dark magic emanating from someone there. Xaris... Her eyes narrowed. Now was not the time for personal grudges, but she made a mental note of the woman's location for now.
"Calliope"
Nyale summoned her own GF, the tiny little orange rabbit like creature appearing at her feet in a swirling red aura and blinking up at her with its red eyes. At the same time a golden bow shimmered into existence in her hand, as she summoned her weapon, a quiver of metal arrows appearing behind her.
Junction: Speed +1, Magic +1

____________________________________________________
The world was watching. The Great Concert was the world stage when it came to so many things. And as tragedy had a chance to erupt, ratings would only spike at such spicy news as the Headmaster of Trabia Garden apparently going berserk. One of the broadcaster hosts seemed to only look on in disbelief. "I can't believe it, on the eve of what is meant to be a sign of our world peace, it seems Koyuki Rieko has gone into some sort of frenzy. Though we've had unsubstantiated reports that she recently suffered some sort of serious injury in Trabia, the political blow back from this display will be massive. Let us move to our eyes on the ground, Chuck?"
A scrawny man barely over 5'1" was standing in a raincoat by the river front. "Thanks Larry, I'm Chuck Newfore and the scene here is incredible, and incredibly dangerous. The President of Unita and her son had just passed me on the scene and raced in to confront the unhinged Headmaster Rieko. It's a little inspiring to see the leader of our nation taking these matters into her own hands. No-"
The image went black. So many people across the world startled by the sudden change in transmission, before a flurry of red text assault the screen.

The image shot back to Chuck Newfore, whose relatively calm expression from before had changed. He seemed to be running for his life, cameraman following. "-IT! MOVE MOVE! IT'S AT-" The scene once again changed back to the studio. Larry gave the audience a large smile. "Well, it seems we're suffering some technical difficulties, but we'll return to the scene with Chuck shortly."

Rem Estellise La Faustina Nipal
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even drunk, even distant, even distracted, Rem Nipal is sharp enough to feel the subtle vibration in the foam beneath her feet. From her elevated post, she turned to spot-
”Oh, stars…
She turns back down to shout to the crowd about the monster looming over the city! Instead, her breath catches as she spots the vagrant woman’s hand going to her hip!
No!
Violet flame erupts from Rem, enveloping her in its aura! She launches from the foam statue like a bolt, striking the ground into a hard, painful tumble, even with her drunken numbness. She lurched up with bruises and cuts to flash in-between the knuckleheaded brawlers and the lunatic!
”Stop your squabbling, you dolts, and get up! The city is under attack!”
She pointed up above to the enormous silhouette of Kaijuu, the Sea Beast!
—
President Nona Nipal nee Winchester
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the last moment of peace, Nona hugged her son.
”My boy’s grown up.”
…
”He’d be proud.”
—
The two stepped from the elevator into the storm.
There was the madwoman herself, and her titan. And there, the BIE had beaten them to the scene. But that flash of white- The Laytos girl? Bloody sorceresses…
”Shove it, Babel,” she answered. ”This is my home.”
She approached on levin boots, floating above the ground with the kindness of a sensible member of the Trabians.
”Koyuki!” she bellowed into the storm. “I have been your friend! I’ve let you in again and again! And all you ever do is ignore and explode and hurt! It wasn’t the voice of a President. It was the voice of a mother.
”Talk to me!” Nona extended her shrouded arm, the one she always wore a glove over.
”What more do you want??”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A world without monsters."

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
Follow your heart and find your destiny
Won't shed a tear, for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality Drive Fast Theme
The electricity in the air had the hairs on his arms raised, the static power pulsing through the environment like a live tesla coil through the small woman before him. She was smaller than others, but her power was no joke and even the prodigal son knew that. If anything, his face was filled with apprehension, worry, and slight fear at the force that was before him. Legends had been told of the elder members of the Second Sorceress War and how their strength had amassed as the years went on, but seeing it first hand was another complete different experience than watching an old film or reading about it in a book. Looking at Koyuki Rieko, Kalen began to immediately second guess the very things that had brought him back to UNITA and the civilized world.
His eyes made contact with Nyale's as she turned to see him, both probably wishing that their reunion was under a better circumstance than what had befallen them. The tone of the situation did not proceed to get better, because soon he knew he turned his head towards the bleeding woman before him, her attention focused explicitly on him. No errant thoughts would come into his mind at the moment, his breath lodged deep in the confines of his lungs whilst her venemous words shot forwards toward him.
"I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER."
There were so many times where in his youth, Kalen had wished something similar. Other times, it was paralleled by him thinking she did not want him as her son. Plain letters, no emotion, were all he got from her with a few gifts every year for his birthday and christmas, but only twice had he ever seen her since this day. Not even when he finally decided to cross the borders in the last few years into Trabia, had he even come face to face with her. Her constituents, yes, people like...Babel....yes, but even as he passed by Trabia Garden it felt like a barrier had been placed between he and her. How much he wanted to hate her. How much he wished he could just move on with his life and never be bothered by her again, her presence, the memories, the feelings that she brought on him with or without her intention. It didn't change the fact that she was still, and always would be, the person who brought him in this world
Her words did nothing but bring a sorrow to her son's face, finally exhaling the frozen air in his lungs as he overcame the apprehension slowly, but surely. There were no words that he could have for her. The normally catty Prince of UNITA had nothing to retort back with, only stiffening his fists as she moved on to Nona, his eyes glancing out of the corner to hear her reaction just as Babel came and gave them the business. Ordinarily, he would react a certain way towards the Trabian woman (jumping off this building being a proper response from him), but today his eyes were steeled forward towards the Headmistress of Trabia, absolutely seeming to ignore her and Hades.
What did take him for surprise though, was a large red headed woman landing right next to him, ordering him, and shoving him backwards hard, being caught by Hades and gently placed back onto his feet. ROBIN? His Godsister had come seemingly out of nowhere, immediately launching herself into battle as she tried, as always to push him back and order him away from danger. There were no civilians in this area, and if there were, they were idiotic news reporters trying to get a scoop on the impending disaster before them. "I can't just leave..." he whispered, closing his eyes as the chaos sounded off around him like a symphony of destruction tuning up for the grand finale.
His doubts were stronger now, Robin's push and orders (as well as not so empty threat), caused him to look over at Nona as she spoke and demanded answers from Koyuki. He had none to give either, only easing once he felt someone grab his sleeve. "Nyale..." he breathed, his nerves feeling comforted by the touch of his best friend, her words causing his face to slowly relax, covering the fear and impending doubt that was latched around his heart like a vice grip, "I know. We saw from the distance and heard that she was missing. It's...okay. I'm just glad you're safe." His clenched hand slowly unclasped their iron grip, and placed a gentle touch on her own that held his sleeve. She would probably guess that he was forcing the warm smile, but he still meant it deep inside, trying to tough it out and keep her from worrying too much. "Just...don't shoot at her okay?"
Now what he was about to do was not smart. It was not intelligent. He would probably get screamed at by his mother, by the Trabian council, thrown into the Stratosphere by his eldest red head sibling, and in the near future murdered by Rem. He did not touch the revolver and locked his wakizashi to his waist, not drawing them, casting one look backwards towards Nyale and Nona to give an apprehensive grin. His eyes looked towards Hades, the message more than clear to back the ******** off as he turned towards Koyuki, her attention on everyone around them as the giant monster roared behind them charging the blue beam of death.
"Babel. Violence isn't the answer here...its what she wants. So STOP giving her what she wants. " Her words had made it more than clear as he put his hands out and began to take steps forward, heart racing as lightning struck around him, "MOTHER! STOP THIS!"
His voice roared as lightning crackled and gunfire shot into the great beast behind her, but he slowly walked towards her, all danger signs lit in the back of his brain. "I'm NOT going to attack you, and you CAN'T MAKE ME."
Of course, all of this would make him stop as lightning struck in front of him, his blonde hair brushing back at the impact and his limbs shook. This was not a fight that was not worth the end result. UNITA's reputation was on the line and a full scale conflict was not the answer. It would only do more to damage the good will that had been built over the last couple of years.
"What is going on?! Why are you doing this? This helps noone!" He charged forth, letting loose of that fear. This was probably the stupidest thing he'd done in all of his lifetime, but he still did not draw his weapons. "Stop this!" Guardian Force: none Status: Silent

Cosmic Magic ShooterThe roar of the monster that blossomed above them was out of Eren's mind as he cursed. What the ******** is up with this dude's le- was the only half a thought that crossed him as he was thrown, his leg sweeped from under him as he landed on his back, almost knocking the air out of him. s**t! A fast analysis told him nothing was damaged badly, just a rough landing but that his enemy was near him and basically on top of him. Rem landed in front, a flash of red hair giving Eren a moment's reprieve. What motivated him next was the yellow pulsing of Golem, acknowledging the threat was still very much around him. However, whatever trickery Raeka might have had, Eren realized the mistake that the silver haired man didn't know that he had made. Eren was on his back, looking upward into the sky and not facing a crowd of civilians around him. All the more reason to simply... "STONERA!" The ground rumbled beneath he and Raeka as a barrage of stones shot upward onto them back, having both exposed themselves with their landing and both landing as a precarious mess on the ground. Yes, this would hurt Eren, but most imporantly, it would hurt Raeka too and most likely end this with the surprise attack. The pain was nothing in the grand scheme of things, Eren having fought plenty of beasts and taken plenty of beatings in the Esthar training environment, his body damn near levitating as the rocks blasted into him and Raeka together. Once the spell ended, all that mattered was the sounds of sirens and UNITA police members pulling up with weapons raised. "POLICE! Stop what you're doing and put your hands in the air!" Eren layed there and laughed, raising his arms into the sky almost like someone doing a kind of yoga as he turned his head towards Rem to catch her eye, shooting a s**t eating grin and giving her a wink. Thanks for the assist, beautiful. She would know what he meant. So this was the Great Concert, huh?

Everyone
Status: Hell Is Breaking Loose
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Babel merely gave an annoyed glance over at the president as she told her to shut it. If there was one thing Babel couldn't stand it was consistent disrespect. At this point she had been mostly courteous but somehow she had felt rather unappreciated in this moment. "Oh well. Such is the life of a secretary." She thought to herself with a amused expression on her face. Despite the direness of the situation, she still could smile. Truly a Trabian native. Her smile though was cut short when suddenly Robin came into the scene, more surprised by her sudden appearance and entrance than anything.
The battle between Varitas and Koyuki was intense! Lightning scorched the ground as she clashed her blades with his anti-magic blade. While it stopped the lightning from affecting him, it did not break the weapon. Despite the fact that his strength was greater than hers normally, in this very moment, she was pushing him back; fighting with all of her frenzied fury while he was holding back not desiring to hurt her, merely trying to distract and calm her down. When Kalen came charging in to try and stop this fight, Koyuki was too lost in the heat of the moment to realize that Kalen was getting in the path of her blade. Varitas, gasping and realizing what was about to happen, shouted. "WATCH OUT!" As he did so, he simultaneously slammed himself against Kalen, shoving him aside as he barely blocked her strike, knocking him off balance. Because of that, she was gaining on him, her speed outpacing him as she swung harder and harder, rocketing him around to the point that after swinging her blade upward, she forcefully knocked his arms above his head. Stepping forward; Koyuki took the opportunity to slam her foot into his chest, sending him flying back so hard that the explosive force of the lightning sent him off of the building. As she did this, she took notice of Robin and her presence in the group. She was a serious threat just as much as the others.
But Kalen was right next to her, and her gaze had shifted to him, her manic smile wide for a moment only slightly lessening as she got a good look at him. A twitch in her demenor? Was she coming back to her senses? BOOM! Another explosive pulse round came from Xaris, having just reloaded her gun, punishing and taking advantage of Robin's meltdown on Kaiju. The GF roared and screamed violently in fury, its body glowing brightly as mana began to leak from itself. In turn, the explosion seemed to snap Koyuki back into her frenzy and got her to shift her attention to the others who were still here with her. This time, it was Babel, Nona, and Selphie, staring down Koyuki while Tori and Tsitsho remained by Nyale, keeping her protected while Tsitsho continued to charge up his GF summoning. Despite their best efforts, the combat and frenzy of the headmaster didn't seem like it would end. She gave no response to Nona anymore, her look of furious joy could only be described as demonic, and monstrous.
But then, if it wasn't better news publication for Galbadia in this moment, perhaps another performance was necessary. Or so thought the newest galbadian Sorceress, prodigy of Salem Everett-Maris, thought as she twiddled her fingers near the intercom of the Galbadian embassy. Her teacher had told her to stay put, and to not get involved with the battle, but how could she not be involved?! This was the time for Galbadia to shine the brightest in the face of horror. But how? How could she benefit this situation for not just her teacher but all of Galbadia? "Koyuki Rieko..... Hmm... What would make you sing to my tune?" She asked to no one in particular, there wasn't anyone here but her to look after the office desk. A shitty task in her opinion, but the fools left her alone with the intercoms! Aha! It would be her time to shine for her teacher. "Feel.... the rhythm..." She let out a playful coo, whispering into the air as she grinned almost deviously, feeling the pulse of music in her chest. The tune, the right tune, one that could make this headmaster buckle under all this pressure. To throw her game off.
"AHA! This song will do just fine!" A gleeful grin formed on her face as she thought of the perfect song to get this headmaster buckling. Taking position with her instrument, she set the bow down and instead readied herself to pluck the strings of her bow and sing through the intercom, amplifying the sound and range of the intercom tenfold so that even everyone at the construction site could hear this.
The music that echoed across the city drowned out the noises of violence and screams in the vicinity, and almost like a siren calling to Koyuki. Babel and the other Trabians around realized what song that was. A traditional war hymn sung to troops to return home. A time to lower their weapons for peace.
This caused Koyuki to laugh. To outright laugh with such an insane manic tone, that someone might have thought she had completely lost it. But this got her to speak. "Do you hear that? Is that Galbadia singing to me? Ahahahaa.... Ahahahaha!!" She laughed again, practically in utter disbelief herself over such a sudden play by them. Was that even planned by Matthias? Looking to her fellow trabians, even Selphie was now a bit worried for her friend who was now losing all sense of reason. "It's beautiful..." She said with a smile, her body slowly swaying to the tune of the music as if it was soothing her mind, but not in a manner that would imply a willingness to stop fighting, Xaris all but assuring with her constant gunfire that Kaiju would not stand for it. The beast screamed out, taking another shot, but this time from the opposite side of where Xaris was shooting.
It was none other than Irving! As much as he loved for this to continue on further, that beast of a GF made him feel utterly terrified and grossed out, using his sniper rifle to vent out his frustrations on the creature with his own pulse rounds. With Meltdown in effect, the beast was faltering, bleeding, and looking utterly furious. It had enough. The beast brought its claws together, swinging them up overhead, intending to smash down onto the platform with everyone on it, including Koyuki herself.
But then everyone heard the sound of Selphie! "D-D-Doom Train! Dodododo! Choo choo! " A train horn blaring, and without any warning Doomtrain came crashing straight into Kaiju's chest, causing the beast to scream in pain, faltering and stumbling backwards from the platform with enough force to crash back into the ocean, leaving Koyuki without the defense of her GF. Standing there, alone, she looked at everyone, but inevitably her eyes looked down at her son.
She raised her celestial weapon up in the air, and spoke one word. "Aura." She said with an almost sadistic tone, looking to really cause some damage as an explosion went off on her. The lightning that coursed around her, much like it did with her blade, began to scorch hot around her to the point of plasma forming around her like a shell. Kalen, being so close to his mother, would feel the electrical current around her, the force so intense that it could have blown him back off of his feet again if he didn't brace himself for it. Everyone would witness the lightning shape her form. armor forming around her body until she was completely encased in full plate, wielding her blade. Her face was only briefly shown as she gave one last look to Kalen, just before the helmet formed around her face, and her attention then turned to Robin, pointing her blade at her, as if to challenge her to a duel.
Babel, seeing such a gesture, sighed and shook her head, now sharing in Nona's frustrations over Koyuki. "This isn't going to be some one on one brawl Koyuki. You've made it clear that you aren't holding back, and I am through playing with you. You realize how much damage control I have to do over this? You have everyone looking up to you, and you're throwing it all away for what?" Babel now had finally seen this squabble for what it was, and she wasn't happy one bit with Koyuki, Selphie noticing that things were taking a turn, spoke up. "Stop it! Kalen is right! We shouldn't be egging her on! Just take out Kaiju!" She shouted, purposely moving to get close to Koyuki, who's blade then turned towards her, causing Selphie to just stop barely in front of the woman's blade. "Stop! It's time to go home! You hear the song don't you?! Who cares who's singing it! Just stop whatever this is! We don't need to be fighting our heart out here! You can fight monsters all in Trabia with us! You don't have to be hurting your friends and family! Just... talk to us!" She said, somehow attempting to get some logic through Koyuki's head, and for her credit, Koyuki didn't swing her weapon at her, but she didn't lower it either.
The armor remained on her body, and so did Kaiju, who continued to throw a tantrum, but this time Tsitsho would finally have his chance to summon his GF, requiring more buildup time than the others. A gigantic sword of colossal proportion came from the sky, coming down like a comet, crashing straight into Kaiju and impaling the creature, and pinning it to the seafloor. The creature thrashed, despite the punishment it took, it still was alive, and all too ready now to use its limit break! Opening its mouth wide, it looked directly at the construction site, energy building up in its mouth preparing to blast right at them all.
===============
Yukiko was wide eyed at everything going on, from Kaiju to Rem and Nyale getting involved in their own fights. Her expression filled with sorrow over her weakness right now, relegated to drinking water from a water bottle as she felt so helpless. From this day, she wouldn't drink, not anymore.
Mai on the other hand, wish she could have been drinking, because this night was going to s**t real fast. Here she was, about ready to shoot Eren, but the princess had decided she was going to jump in the line of fire, forcing Mai to reflexively aim her gun away from Rem and towards the ground in a near panic. "WOAH WOAH! Don't do that! You crazy?! Mai had a near heart attack. There was no way her mother could save her from shooting the president's daughter. That she'd have to run, change her name, appearance, and whole way of living, and she just wasn't down for that right at the moment. But then, Rem pointed out the obvious while her boyfriend was getting in the brawl scuffle with Eren, who had taken the liberty of using a spell on her man. If it weren't for the police and the princess, she probably would have shot him twice for good measure, but she holstered her gun and didn't cause a fuss, Rem was right anyhow, that beast was the problem, or was, until she just saw a train crashing into it, and then a giant sword fall from the sky. "Well... today surely is a day for festivities, that's for sure. Won't be a festival anyone will be forgetting anytime soon."

 Salem Everett
Status: WMD
Location: The Meltdown
____________________________________________________
On the ride over, Salem had been pretty quiet after the call to his sister, and anyone near him could feel ill with the amount of magic he was concentrating on. Salem knew he was not the most powerful Sorceress to ever live. No, with the Great Hyne having existed, and even Ultimecia having at one point beginning to absorb all of space time, there were times of crippling anxiety when he knew something from beyond his kin could show up. It did once already, and shaped most of his life.
With a sigh, however, what it did leave him as was the most powerful sorceress still alive on this planet. And as a double edged sword, he had been taught by the most powerful mortal sorceress known to history. His expression darkened, his assistants in the rear of the vehicle scooting away from him as his immediate vicinity became poisonous. He was radiating mana, preparing to fire one of the more advanced abilities that as far as he knew, he was the only one alive able to perform. He didn't want to reveal he could do this, but the safety of the people was more important than his personal machinations.
His car squealing to a stop by the water, Salem stepped out of the vehicle with a eerie calm. Bio energy straining behind him as he raised his arms to the threat he was immediately concerned with. Kaiju. His moth-like wings burst into reality as he focused the magic into a sickly yellow orb, before firing it at the gargantuan Guardian Force. "Destroy." Like lightning, the spell shot forward and struck Kaijuu directly in the chest, and in the next moment the summon exploded as the spell consumed and removed it from play.
Salem let out a heavy exhale, beads of sweat falling down his face as he let his focus lapse. It had yet to ever be a easy ability for him, but a live fire would only make the next one easier. His head tilted as he finally recognized the Galbadian tune, and normally he would smile, but if it was seen the little s**t would never let it go. So he kept it cool, beginning to ascend up to where all the action was. There were certain comforts to being a Sorcerer he could never let go, and flying was one of them.
____________________________________________________
Raeka Everett-Maris Status: Scatter!
Location: The Game Stalls
____________________________________________________
The satisfying impact of throwing this colossal c**t to the ground put a bit of a actual smile on Raeka's face. Despite being relatively out numbered and conditioned, he was giving better than he got so far.
His attention shot up when Rem landed, and a out appeared to him. As she began to give her little speech, he drew an Esuna spell from her, and cast it upon himself. The Third Eye opened and glared at Eren as his Stonera spell was cast, and the to-be surprised Raeka was kept appraised by his benefactor. Too busy with the cast to immediately act, a few of the stones hit him before he used his position as the dominant of this collapsed pile to pull himself more on top of Eren, using the massive muppet as a meat shield.
It didn't save him, but it made the attack more glancing than needlessly tanking the whole hit head on. As the spell subsided, and the police made their presence known, Raeka got to his feet, draw casting Eren's cure spell on himself as he slowly raised his hands and took a step behind the pink haired man.
"No Para-Magic! Get on the ground, hands behind your head!" One of the Officers yelled as they closed in.
Raeka glanced at Eren and his shoulder, the cure spell helping but after the pounding from the stonera, the bruising meant there was still a bit of the flesh wound left. A final look at the princess and the grunt squad, he realized one thing. He couldn't respect Unita's authority, and most certainly could surrender himself to it.
"Don't do it ki-" Too late. Raeka burst into a sprint, the boy giving Mai a parting wink. The Sorcerer clinched his hands for a moment and the local lights sputtering out for a moment. The peace officers had to split their forces. Two to restrain and collect the other three young adults, and one who fired his taser at Raeka, striking him but the boys high resistance yanked the prongs out before it had him seize. In the blinking lights and maze of stalls it would be difficult to keep up with the masked menace.

"A dance ta Galby's tune? A bit tacky, ain't it girl?" Robin retaliated, bringing her comedically large hammer over her shoulder, swinging it around with ease as she looked at the deranged Koyuki. Her amber eyes drifted to Babel as she spoke, seeming somewhat annoyed the option of a one-on-one fist fight. Watching the rest of the Trabia crew interject in some sort of attempt at stopping more violence, the lady Anundr had mulled the options over, and it seemed that just knocking the loon out would be better than letting her prepare some other desperation gambit after she applied aura.
"I think y'all are missin' a grave detail here. Hun, Koyuki is speakin'. She's lettin' it all out in the only way da girl knows how. Actions, nah words, ain't I right Headmistress?" Robin chuckled, before her eyes widened as a huge crack and yellow light streaked across the sky, changing the lighting for a moment before the being known as Kaijuu was simply... gone. She looked to the side a split second, then back at Koyuki. "Ah'll knock you out, sweetheart. I bet yer tired of the lip flappin'."
Robin: Name
Ifrit: Guardian Force
Salem Everett
Status: Hey, I'm back.
Location: Second verse same as the first.
____________________________________________________
"Enough of this." The Sorcerer took a moment to glance around the room, the two friendly summons ready to throw down, the rest of the Trabian Headmistress' hunting party, Nona, Kalen, Robin and Nyale. Oh, it was all good until he saw his niece here. A flare of anger hit him, and the poison mist wings grew larger as he prepared for a larger output.
"YOU SUMMON THAT MONSTROSITY HERE, PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER!?" It was time for part two of his lessons from Ultimecia, from Edea. He was preparing a special spell that would rip her limit break from her form, and give several of the people here a ungentle reminder of what gravity type spells were capable of. Maelstrom. "Your Guardian is gone, Koyuki. And for old times sake I will give you one chance. Surrender your weapons, or surrender your life."
Perhaps a reminder of his B.I.E. days would flash across some of the older participants here. It wasn't the first time he had threatened lives, and experience told everyone that he wasn't joking about this. If he considered Koyuki a problem for his family, he was not adverse to remove her.

I've got a river running right into you // I've got a blood trail, red in the blue

Something you say or something you do // A taste of the Divine
Beneath the ice cold water in the bath, Lisanna lay completely still, eyes closed and white hair floating around her face. Everything was quiet.
It had been a long day. After the opening ceremony much like her brother she had mingled and shown her face at the after-parties, conversed with diplomats, socialites, citizens, SeeDs, and everyone in between, even danced with a few, and of course, enjoyed the free hors d'oeuvres and wine. Socialising with strangers was tiring work compared to the day-to-day of running Winhill Garden, which she vastly preferred.
So as soon as she'd had enough she headed back to her hotel with her two assistants, peeled off the black silk gown she'd worn all night, ran a cold bath and submerged herself completely.
Unfortunately, life had other plans and soon the distant buzzing of her phone caused her to surface, her relaxation time clearly over. As she wiped her eyes and smoothed her now soaked hair back, the building started to shake. Lights flickered. In the distance she thought she heard screams...
Lisanna reached over the side of the bath to snatch up her phone from the side where she'd left it.
"Salem...what? The kids? Wait-!"
The call ended before she could draw more information out of her brother, and a perplexed Lis climbed out of the bath. She threw on her usual working attire: a simple black shirt, black wide-leg trousers and pointed high-heeled boots. Weaving her wet hair into a quick braid she left the hotel room with determined strides. Her mind was racing wondering what the s**t show was that Salem needed to urgently take care of. She dialled her daughter.
"Pick up...for God's sake..."
"You've reached Ny! I can't answer, so leave a message or whatever!"
Lisanna gave a frustrated sigh, however she wasn't surprised. The infuriating girl never had her phone on her. She dialled Raeka, also to no answer.
"Constantine, what do you have for me?" Out of the shadows in the hotel hallway the dark hooded figure of one of her assistants emerged. Her eyes and ears on the ground whenever she left the Garden, he was a mysterious figure that was always by her side these days. As they swiftly descended to the lobby of the hotel he briefed her on the current events that they'd been made aware of in the last few minutes.
"I see" A black car pulled up, driven by her second assistant Laika. the pair climbed inside.
"Based on live reports we believe your daughter is at the location of the crisis with Rieko"
"Tch. Of course" How did that girl always manage to find the most trouble? Lis knew Salem was heading that way, so she knew he would make sure his niece was safe. Ny would be more likely to listen to him, too.
"-and your nephew is a little trickier, but we have reports of a fight breaking out in this location, with a suspect matching his description" Lis looked at the map on the screen where her assistant indicated. She was not in the least surprised to hear that Raeka had been fighting at the festival. The kid was a loose cannon. He had always been respectful to his aunt, however, and she wanted him safe.
"Get me to the area, I'll find him"

Lost in skies of powdered gold
xxxxxxxCaught in clouds of silver ropes
xxxxxxxxxxxxShowered by the empty hopes
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAs I tumble down, falling fast to the ground
I know I'll wither, so peel away the bark
xxxxxxxxx'cause nothing grows when it is dark
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIn spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear

Ny could see from the myriad of expressions crossing Kalen's face, from the moment Koyuki first addressed him to his own reply to her, that this was a hard situation for him. She knew his relationship with his mother had always been complicated, and that's what made this crisis so troubling. No one wanted to hurt Koyuki, but she had to be stopped. She was too dangerous and unstable right now. His forced smile filled her with anguish.
Thankfully this was temporarily alleviated by the surprised delight she felt at arrival of the familiar perky, red haired woman. "Robin!" If there had been time for a hug, Ny would have grabbed her in an instant. Being ordered around by anyone else would have prompted a haughty reaction from her, but Robin got a pass. She nodded, and turned back to Kalen.
"I would never hurt your mom, Kal" She assured her friend. She was about to tell him to be be careful when the cabbage-headed fool went ahead and did the exact opposite. "No, don't-!" She yelled, trying to stop him approaching Koyuki, but it was too late. She was filled with relief as Varitas jumped in to stop Koyuki's attack, though the man was sparked off the building itself by the force of the lightning.
Without thinking Ny took off, flying over the side of the building after the man and desperately grabbing onto him by the arms as he fell. "Ugh...can you be...less...heavy!" She gasped, her feathered wings beating hard to pull them both up and back onto the rooftop. She was just about able to get him up there before dropping him and crumpling on top of him. "Cura..." She cast, mending any damage he'd taken from Koyuki's lightning.
From the floor, she was vastly pleased to see Kaiju finally dispatched in dramatic blast of yellow light, with none other than her uncle appearing to join them on the the building. Of course it was Salem. Oh, so this is as good as over Ny thought, immediately comforted. "Perfect timing, uncle..." Salem was the strongest Sorcerer in the world, even Koyuki couldn't hope to challenge him. Hopefully she would surrender, as instructed. Ny rolled off Varitas and stood up. She stayed quiet and still, watching with wide eyes, as it seemed the battle might finally be coming to a head.

Rem Estellise La Faustina Nipal
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tactical flashlights mounted on rifles lit up the combatants! Rem put her hands up, glaring down at Raeka and Eren. The limn of blazing light burnt itself away. Just in time to catch a
-wink!-
Even flushed from action and impact, Rem managed to turn a shade of red darker. She turned toward the approaching soldiers.
’Miss Nipal!” came the call from the nearest man.
Rem dropped her hands to her hips.
”Just a whiskey brawl gotten out of hand, sirs,” she asserts, steady as stone. ”Focus on Kaijuu.” Simple as that, she drops to her knees beside the fallen Eren.
”Once again, you turn up when there’s trouble,” the Princess remarks. Her long hair hangs over her face when she leans over him. Touching his chest, she drew out a streaming ribbon of green. She twisted it ‘round in her hand and crushed it into dust, spilling over him. Where the glimmering motes fell, bruises mended and cuts closed.
Draw -> Cure
”Are you alright, Mr. Kyng?” She nudged. ”We need all the capable hands we can get.”
A glance up to Mai.
”You’re a SeeD, right? I’ll contract your service right now. 2,000 gil to help us in responding to the attack.”
Status: Protect, Haste

The Princess — President Nona Nipal nee Winchester
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nona watched the pummeling rain down on Koyuki’s monster. Still, she never raised a hand. She stood with Kalen, Babel, and- arriving like an errant angel- Salem. Watching him dispatch the titan is a glorious thing.
Koyuki, however, was still a live wire.
”Your family is here,” Nona called to the Headmistress. ”They want you here, with them!”
”Come back.”
Status: A buncha things Trabian friends threw on her!

"A world without monsters."
