Where: The Southern Farmlands
Summary: See here for overall details.
Rating: Probably gonna be gorey in places :|a

DOESN'T NEED A CUT. People should know how this works, if not, just follow other people's lead. I'm gonna set up some strategist threads at the top, for the four strategists to use if they want to, otherwise people should start their own threads.

((Mod Note: Since this has been asked a few times, just fyi, the livestock do not talk. Happy hunting!))

[Oh, but Yuber is so familiar with this trick that he knows very well to use wider ranged attacks. Plus looking at the situation, the annoying girl is likely bleeding and the scent of her sweet blood is likely to lead him to her sooner or later.

He gives the orders to the Bone Dragon and Hellsteed to search out Nami and they do so. The Bone Dragon with sweeping tail swipes and clawing around and the hellsteed is trying to sniff her out. The azzodess is watching the air for the Third Party and Yuber is also looking for signs of Nami along with watching Nu's prone form to make sure she's not in danger.]

Archie-san ain't a fan, Sayo. Couldn't say why.

Fair enough. Jack Horner.

[Yeah, it's a battlefield. Sure, she looks a little young. But hell, in maybe five years, that won't be an issue. Even if there is something about those eyes...]

[The hellsteed is killable by lightning. She knows that much. She'll deal with it first, in that instance. Right now, Nami thinks her best bet is running--

--Sayo--

--god willing someone else saw that thundercloud and is coming to investigate. For now she'll stall.

Okay. Let's put Nami back on the playing field.]

[He stomps on one charging in her direction.]

I was going to get to them, yeesh! What, am I being timed or something? Gimme a break!

[Five of her, to be precise, arranged across the edge of the corn field, swinging her staff up in unison.]

Thunder charge.

[And the tip of the staff on each copy crackles to life with electricity.]

He'll...never stop talking. [Droplets of blood are seeping out the top of the bandages. Vaguely, he wonders if the last two months have been a dream, and he's still dying on a prison bed.]

[One not-quite-dead soldier falls from the sky and lands with s "WHUMP!" only feet away from Hughes, a bullet hole through its chest. Archie is about five yards away, ducking under the awning of a shed and reloading his pistol. It only fires one shot at a time, but it's what he has, and he's recovering from a wound, so he's saving the sword as a last resort while he takes out any enemies in flight.]

[The lightning is indeed effective on the hellsteed, but then it is pretty much strong cannon fodder and already was a bit injured from Third Party soliders earlier. It will go down, but not before it attacks a Nami or two that are likely fake ones.

The Bone Dragon also is going to try and narrow down the field with another tail swipe to go after as many of the remaining ones as possible.

Yuber frowns, the smell of the lightning is making it hard to detect the smell of blood that likely was going to give Nami away. Still, she's got to be injured after dealing with Nu so he will find some tell tale sign of where she's hiding. He knows full well that likely all those Namis are fake and the real one is hidden somewhere.]

[And Asad's mad dash towards the distribution center is also stopped when he sees Leon's blue hair and Third Party soldiers in the air. No way he's going to leave someone to die out here.

With the way his luck is going today, there's likely a Shifter among them too, so to be on the safe side, he readies his sword rather than the broom before using one of his Marks, which will make a cyclone appear where a group of soldiers are. He's just hoping if there is a Shifter, it will last long enough to knock them out of the air and make them more manageable.]

[Ahem. Nami, the demon and his entourage of monsters aren't the only ones you should be paying attention to. Why?

Because a certain silver-haired Murakumo isn't unconscious, contrary to how she may have seemed. Remaining as still as possible for a few moments can be quite helpful, to say the least!

...Although ν-13 was initially hoping to catch Nami off-guard with that, but she's certainly not going to object to the help. In fact? She's kind of entertained by the current situation. Which... may explain the smile on her face, though unless either of the two is paying attention, they probably won't notice it.

But remaining on the ground when she could very well be assisting is kind of pointless. Which is why, within a few moments...]

[If anyone on the front lines is in need of a healer, Raine is available for doing just that, as well as lending fighters strength and defense, as well as other support.

And if the third party gets too close, she can offer support with her light magic spells as well.

All very tiring work, but a battle is a battle: she's there as needed. Though even healers need defending too, sometimes.]

[...She's going to effortlessly flip back up to her feet. If the thunderstorm actually harmed her? There's absolutely no signs of this left. The Azure Grimoire's healing factor is incredibly helpful, to say the least.

That's not to say she'll resume her assault again immediately, though - rather, she'll focus on staying at a distance from the two (and the two remaining monsters) for now, keeping an eye out for anyone else who might have been alerted by the thunderstorm.]

[That was what she was afraid of. That--

...there is no way she can win. None.

The best she can do is delay the inevitable. Or run. And she honestly wonders which is better. If she dies here, the fight is over just the same as if she runs, isn't it?]

[Maybe the best thing is just to lead them as far from Sayo as she possibly can before her luck runs out. Maybe they'll get bored and go back to fighting someone they can find-- which would possibly be Sayo. No. Not an option. (Maybe a pack of Elites and Shifters will fly overhead. Ho ho. Should she pray for that?)]

[...Fine.

Fuck you all. The dragon and the steed took out the last batch of mirages. Have some more, taking off in five separate directions, but none of them back toward the waver. Now, we just play for as much time as possible.

...and make one last ditch attempt to put one down, even if it's just for a minute. Her last weatherball is left floating right behind Nu, only this one doesn't need breaking. Give it about ten seconds. Nami leaves it behind and keeps going.]

[Something was not right. Somehow, Jack knew, the man who just jumped on the back of Captain Carrigan, master of the White Bear, should not be manhandling Carrigan's wings in such a monstrous way.

But then he wondered why Carrigan had wings in the first place. Very un-Carriganlike.

NOT Carrigan, Jacky. Third Party. Battle. You're in a battle.

It would take him at least another full minute to realize what this meant.]

[ as Jack was struggling with that, the soldier was trying to shake the determined doctor off him, who kept a firm hold and tried to get a good grip on his gun. ]

Jack! Snap out of it!

[This isn't fun, it's definitively different of when Ten-chan, Ken-niichan and himself got into that fight during the festival. This... This is too much like when the army was chasing them, except that they aren't going anywhere now and they have to stay here. Goku doesn't like this so he just stucks close to Hakkai and follows anything the man tells him to do.

The child isn't even interested in the animals around or the fields, he just wants to go back home, to Luceti. Hakkai is even unable to see for some reason now and Goku keeps falling asleep at the most random moments, he's not even really tired, he doesn't understand why he keeps falling asleep.]

Can we go back already?

[And finally the demon spots what he was looking for, a sign of where Nami really was.

And it leads right behind Nu.] Nu, move away from where you are now!

[It may not be enough, but better that she gets away from whatever Nami was planning.

The demon himself will head in the direction the blood leads him to. The dragon noticing its master acting will go in the same direction. The dragon is definitely closer, but it's large size does make it harder to move as quick as the demon can.

They will be attacking at the air, but hopefully between his swords and his dragon's teeth, something will meet flesh.]

[Everything seems peaceful in the field of cows- It certainly is. Just watch them grazing, not a care in the world. Not entirely realizing that there's a huge battle going on around them. Some of them look up anxiously from time to time, yes, but that's about it.

Until there's a loud roar somewhere nearby (up in the air?), and five seconds later a blue-haired man crashlands right into the middle of the field, startling the entire herd and causing it to scatter in a symphony of agitated "moo"s. His weapon, a double-bladed saber, fell a short distance away. Luckily, none of the innocent cows were injured. The same can't be said for Yuan, who was partaking in an airborne battle just a minute ago, until one of the enemies smacked him so hard he was sent flying. The punch instantly knocked out his Seraph wings and has left him dazed. Not to mention the whole crashlanding thing is going to leave a bruise.]

Argh- Dammit!

... [Yuan didn't turn just yet. Instead, he listened. Outside the barrier, his enhanced hearing was at its peak and he fully intended to use it. A flurry of footsteps, heading their way, fast. He gripped his saber tightly, ready to whip around and strike the enemy the moment they got too close.]

[If there was ever a time in which Keiichi felt fascinated by wars and fights, it's long gone now. Not that he ever was fascinated by them anyway. This is totally different from fighting against Takano's Hounds, no matter how much time he spends out there, how many days go by, he still isn't comfortable here.

But he can still think of situations in which he was even more uncomfortable, so Keiichi brushes off those feelings and concentrates in the battle. One would think that the defense position wouldn't get many work, but they still have enough "fun" on their own, the ones at the offensive groups must be hardly having time for anything.

Keiichi mainly uses a rifle, usually aiming first at whoever enemy may be closing in to the close-range combatants, or at enemies coming his way. He's not a professional but his aim isn't bad at all. If any enemy manages to get too close, he switches to the knives. it's an easy routine once he gets the trick of it.]

[ν-13 doesn't even stop to think about what to do: the moment she hears that warning, she's going to dash away from where she was standing, eventually stopping and turning around, then calling up a barrier. Admittedly, it won't last very long, but if Nami's going to try something soon, that might at least lessen the damage a little.

...She hasn't actually noticed the weatherball, though, so she's not really sure what to expect.]

[It was a tough first day of fighting out there, made only more difficult by the fact that Richard was a liability out on the battlefield. If not for the timely intervention of Sanji, things might have turned out poorly for Richard when he had gotten separated from Asbel and Tear.

And now, at Sanji's behest, the three of them are escorting Richard to the medical center. Maybe he can stay out of harm's way there...]

You'll be safe soon, Richard, don't worry.
