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!))

[Dammit Masaomi, you weren't supposed to go back to him. She's speeding her way back as fast as she can, knives drawn and aiming for any weak spots in his wing armour. Even if she can't spot any, she could still make for a useful distraction as she sees an opening near his neck, revealing sensitive flesh beneath.

Leaping up and driving her blade as deeply in there as she could, all the while kicking at any place she could reach. She would not allow Masaomi to get hurt, not when she could stop it. Even if she has to take the blow in his stead.]

[...Oh man what is that? Kaori just jumped in and performed some made assault. His eyes go wide a little, watching this scene, because this a relatively small girl making a strike he couldn't hope to make. And he stares at this scene in a sort of horrified fascination for the moment, unsure quite what to do here. Does he strike? Doe he...

At very least, the Elite's arms are now off him, focused instead and swatting off the girl who is struggling on him. But suffice to say Masaomi is freezing for a moment.]

I hope this is OK

Move!

[Katara's run forward by this time and her first move is to, quite rudely, shoulder Masaomi out of the way, supplanting his position. You do not just stand in striking range. Run or fight. Her second move, if the Elite is still distracted by reaching for Kaori, is to slam her bo hard towards his extended elbow. Hands off the girl, jackass.]

We can't let him get to the barn!

[Let him get to the barn, you guys.

Shikamaru, where are you!]

Just fine!

[seiriald]

[Kaori is sent slamming into the ground when Katara hits the Elite, wincing as she felt her Filial wings protest the action of landing on them. Never mind that, she's recovering as quickly as she could and making her way over the Masaomi to make sure he's still okay and not frozen, still. Actually, she's dragging him further away, out of the Elite's reach.

Damn it, is Shikamaru done yet?!]

[endgames]

[Done and done. He's about out of breath by the time he gets back, but he took advantage of the Elite's distraction to come at him from the right, trench knives out and making a sweep to the bleeding wound Kaori delivered.

The Elite dodges backwards in a flip, using his feet to try and kick Katara's bo away from her while he's at it. Shikamaru waits until that distance is between them again to make his comment to the rest of the team.]

Don't worry. Everything's ready. [He coughs; takes a breath of air.] There's not much even he can do to stop it now.

[Hook, line...]

[generalflirt]

[Shoved and then Kaori's pulling him? No way. He roughly pulls himself off from that grip]

Stop that!

[But then, when he's planning to close in again... there's Shikamaru. Masaomi's eyes narrow, but he snorts. Alright, fine. He doesn't rush, not sure where he's supposed to go now. So he pulls back a little to get to the same position as the rest of them. He just nods.]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara jumps back, avoiding the Elite's kick. But as she does so, she catches something out of the corner of her eye up in the sky, behind Masaomi and Kaori - a dozen Third Party soldiers flying in approach.]

Incoming!

[Meanwhile, the Elite attempts to break away and rush towards the barn. Time for a dramatic swing-and-miss with her bo.] No!
