Finally it was time for the mayor, Kazuki Sakahagi, to speak up. Not even an thirty minutes left to the celebrations, but seeing him go appeared to be lighting up a spark in the citizens. It wasn't too hard to see why; his enthusiastic grin and way of walking could easily melt anyone's worry away.

He walked to the center stage as cheering broke out, two men in black and Junko Tanako behind him.

crashes in ungracefully

[camoflage]

He had already proven he could move in an instant; it was unfortunate for Naminé, as Spades suddenly appeared before her, rushing forward with a curved dagger in his grip, the sharp end out and aiming to slice the Oathkeeper right out of her hand.

oh boy oh boy oh boy

[charmedbymemories]

Naminé let out a gasp, jerking her hand back as Oathkeeper went flying. Luckily there wasn't anything more serious than a cut, but that was the least of her worries right now. She turned to look at her attacker, eyes narrowing.

"If you're looking for a fight, you just targeted the wrong person." She extended her hand and Oathkeeper shimmered back into existence there in her grip. Slicing it through the air, she breathed out slowly. All of her senses were telling her that she was in danger.

But she would not run away. It was his move.

Re: oh boy oh boy oh boy

[hinoto_npcs]

Sadly, it wasn't his move at all.

Hitsuji slides in behind the girl, raising a hand to psychically rip the quiver of arrows off of Naminé's back, sending them flying a few feet away. She then points her hand back to the girl, giving a slight push of energy to hopefully send her stumbling and give Spades a chance to go in for another attack. After all, who was she to deny her friend some fun?

[camoflage]

And indeed, Hitsuji was the best of friends.

"If you're looking for a chump, you picked the wrong enemy," He said, for once free of gloating and condescension. The magical weapon was something he didn't anticipate, but it didn't break his stride for a minute.

He flipped the dagger around and quickly replaced it in his belt, unsheathing his saber instead; once Naminé was close enough, he swung the blade out in a wide arc around him.

[charmedbymemories]

Naminé wasn't too panicked by the loss of her quiver-- it was precious to her, but archery wouldn't work against these two. She was surprised by the energy blast at her back, though, and she stumbling forward from the sheer force of it, feeling the breath getting knocked out of her. But the forward movement gave her the advantage to dodge the blade, and sliding forward with her back practically parallel to the ground, she kicked upwards in a backflip, aiming for Hitsuji's face.

"Not really a choice when you were the one who attacked first," she countered. The Keyblade disappeared for a moment as she recalled it, and raising both arms with great force, called forth an Ice Barrage to slam into both of her attackers.

[hinoto_npcs]

"If you 'Visitors' hadn't so rudely clogged up our city, maybe we wouldn't be here right now!"

She chatters back with a laugh, the intentional irony of the statement only known by Spades. She averts backwards quickly and cartwheels off her hands to avoid the kick, and consequently, the chunks of ice by sheer coincidental luck with her moving when she did. Hitsuji rights herself quickly, letting out a small 'tsk' noise as she looks over to make sure Spades hadn't been hurt. "Looks like the softie has a few tricks up her sleeve yet!"

[camoflage]

"It'll take a bit more than tricks--!" He started, before the ice's appearance cut him off. The ice didn't damage him at all though; when the it appeared beneath them, Spade stood atop the ice that was under his feet and rode the momentum to let it fling him into the air, completely unaffected by the cold effects.

As he started to fall, he teleport to the side in the air just slightly, until he was just about aligned to bring the heel of his boot down on Naminé from above. "But if you hadn't decided to help interfere, we wouldn't be in this situation!"

[charmedbymemories]

"You say that like I asked to be brought here! Freeze!"

Naminé shot a Triple Blizzaga after Hitsuji to keep her distracted for a few moments, wanting to leap up and meet Spades' attack half way. Oathkeeper shone back into existence, and then she was two inches away from the sole of his boot, stopping the attack with the shaft of the blade.

"But even if I didn't want to be here, I can't ignore the things you're doing to this city. It's not just a hotel for us, it's a home for the other citizens!"

She pushed hard, trying to unbalance Spades before falling back onto the ground, planting some Mines underneath her.

[hinoto_npcs]

This girl was using a lot of ice. She had a fire based persona, which probably would hit the girls weaknesses, but... it probably wouldn't be a good idea to summon her. It would be a pretty big giveaway to those who knew what it was, and that would make life very inconvenient.

She'd have to improvise.

Hitsuji twists out of the way of the attack, but one of the shards of ice caught her along the arm and gouged into her skin. She hisses a little in pain, but she'd worry about that later. If she found some fire, she could help heal herself as well as attack the girl, though her mutation skill and her Rejuvenate skill were starting to get to work on it as they fought.

"We're doing? What about what the Government is doing?"

She calls, trying to distract the girl as her eyes search for something around the stadium that would inevitably be on fire-- after all, all the Visitors were apparently pyros, save present company.

[camoflage]

He didn't shy away when she met his boot with Oathkeeper; he just put more weight down slashing the saber down in the vague direction of her arm. When she fell to the ground, he jumped back off, teleporting away to drop down in front of Hitsuji.

No worries; if she had more ice attacks, it certainly wasn't going to do any harm to him.

"You really have no idea what's actually going on in this city, do you?" There's a surprising amount of bite to his voice-- much more grave and angry, and not at all like the flippant jests he'd been firing previously.

He sheathed the sword and pulled out his pistol, holding up, aiming and firing two shots-- one aimed for her knee, the other for an elbow. "You think we're the pests in some Edenesque remnant?!"

sorry for lateness orz;

[charmedbymemories]

Naminé blocked as well as she could, getting into a defensive position as soon as she landed. But the shots were fired too quickly. While one set off one of her mines and exploded midair, the other flew straight into her shoulder, just as she was attempting to duck. A searing pain exploded over her arm, and it was all she could do to not stumble.

"Like I said, I'm not inclined to believe you when you're attacking me," she gasped, and staggered backwards. A quick Cura dulled the pain, and then she was on the offensive again, the space around her swirling with power as she shifted into the Diamond Dust command style. Oathkeeper became cold to the touch, waves of cold air emanating from it. Hoping to double up on destructive ice attacks, Naminé called out to the sea within her soul.

"Techne, I need you!"

The goddess Persona swirled into existence, delicate fingers strumming straight across the strings of her harp-like instrument. A Mabufula shot out towards the two Anoli, with Naminé following closely behind.
