[h1]Outside the Passenger Area, UMMA Vessel [i]Tanngrisnir[/i][/h1]

"Like I don't know you're from the UMMA!" the girl snapped, narrowing her eyes. Her long pigtails bobbed as her body tensed, the gauntlet letting off a faint pink glow as her fists tightened. This quite obviously did not appear to endear the agents to her in any way. She glanced at the armed soldiers surrounding her. "And that's exactly why there's no way I'm gonna trust you! But if [i]you[/i] don't try and stop me, then you won't get hurt!"

Her fists loosened, as if she was waiting, giving them a chance to let her through. It may have been a chance to try and talk to her.

The Shadow Eternity Soldiers kept their weapons raised, but they seemed to be glancing at the girl with uncertainty, as if they weren't sure about that last statement. It was just then that another girl appeared. She looked older than the gauntleted girl by a few years, with short, green hair and red eyes. Her body was thin and slender, her skintone lighter than the pink-haired gauntlet user. She wore a long, green jacket, matching her hair, and brown shorts. Something seemed... off about her. There was just something not right about the way she narrowed her eyes at the UMMA agents. She wielded a mechanical polearm, the base of the curved blade at the top projecting a pair of green tubes.

"Are you sure about that?" said the green-haired girl, "These could be the people who helped take her!"

As this possibility sunk in to the pink-haired girl, her gauntlet immediately ignited with pink fire, and with a cry of rage she launched herself at Blake and Jaune!

[h1]Saber - Restaurant District, Yggdrasil[/h1]

Enkidu's charge into the guard had opened up a avenue of attack for Saber. Their weaponry was most certainly designed with harming or even killing entities such as Servants, but in the end their physical capabilities seemed no more than a human's. It certainly seemed as if the strange... Boy? was quite capable of taking them down in close range, as one of the soldiers went down from a kick to the collar, hard enough that his body armor cracked. The soldiers were distracted, allowing Saber to burst forward, tables falling over from the force of her charge! One soldier whirled in time to have Excalibur, still sheathed in Invisible Air, slice through the front of his body and send him to the ground, dead in an instant.

This got their attention, but at close range Saber had a massive advantage. The projectiles, whatever they were, could not be aimed quickly enough at melee range. Saber drew Excalibur back and thrust it forward, piercing another gunman's chest as he attempted to take aim!

Kuzaku's strategic move was a resounding success. The explosions sent several soldiers to the ground from the force, and the others were blinded by the flashes of light, giving him ample opportunity to re-position himself and get a better angle on the attacking force. There could only be so many, there was no way a large force had intruded into Yggdrasil.

On the catwalks, the man who had shot his ally and attempted to, extremely foolishly, take Gilgamesh in close range, and found himself sharply cracked in the chin, before being hit so hard he was promptly punted into the ceiling. It was very likely that he was dead, given that the metal had taken the impact so hard it had dented. If that hadn't killed him, falling from the ceiling all the way to the ground below most likely did the trick. Not exactly mourning their comrade, but not willing to have the same fate befall them, they backed up and trained their rifles on the warrior, preparing to open fire.

The swordswoman paused, surprised for a brief moment when Nono caught her wrist. She had figured the attack would be difficult to stop even for a robot, but it seemed she was mistaken. Oh well... Taking this opportunity, she suddenly attempted to lean close. "I'd kiss you~ ... But I'm not so foolish to try that in a fight, before our first date!"

With that, the sword's rear edge suddenly split, and opened, a set of small rockets emerging from inside of it to roar to life, attempting to break Nono's grip.

[h1]Chiester Sisters - Weapons and Communications, UMMA Vessel [i]Tanngrisnir[/i][/h1]

00 hesitated for a moment. This newcomer, Tailblue, was asking if she could go out and help with defending the ship. But she couldn't give any orders to someone who wasn't part of the Guard Corps, this girl wasn't even operating under the UMMA officially as of yet... to her surprise, it was 45 who spoke up.

"Th-they're outside the passenger areas..." 45 said... "... I-if you want to h-help out, go th-there! We... we can't let them hurt the civilians!"

Meanwhile, 410 was still trying to force a manual firing lock on the cloaked Shadow Eternity ship. If only she could line up that shot...

[h1]Kirisame Marisa, Client World 12262009-A[/h1]

When she spotted the winged guy trying to position himself in her flight path, Marisa did the logical thing and proceeded to rocket upwards in a bid to fly over him, and the girl he was carrying. Though really, the whole assisted flight thing here was kind of adorable. She'd totally have to make Alice do it to her sometime. It didn't matter that Marisa could fly under her own power, who was gonna stop her from trying to force Alice to do something [i]that[/i] cute with her? Plus she could also tease Alice for going along with it, it was totally a win-win situation here. As in she won a lot and Alice got to get all grumpy.

Aaaaand then the girl was using the gun thingy to shoot stuff at her. Marisa knew that the 'danmaku' fired by these guns was not like the danmaku used in duels back home. Oh, of course, she could tune hers to be lethal too, but what was the point in that? This stuff, though... well it was a good thing she had experience dodging! Jerking to the side, and then up, Marisa could feel the bullets passing the air around her. And... then one hit her hat! Immediately Marisa threw herself forward, wrapping her legs tightly around her broom and stretching her hand out to snatch the hat before it tumbled too far. When her fingers gripped fabric, she let out a sigh of relief and promptly spun it and placed in back on her head, before turning around to face the duo. Huh, there wasn't a hole in it. Thankfully. Maybe these were the poor man's danmaku or something?

Marisa held the goggles up in one hand. "And just why are they so important, huh?"

Remaining in position, Marisa lowered the goggles and pulled back the strap, attempting to put them on and see for herself.

[h1]Black Rock Shooter - Client World 576143290-B[/h1]

Black Rock Shooter glanced at Suwako. She didn't like the pit, it looked like. Black Rock Shooter didn't either. She wasn't sure what was down there, but it certainly felt powerful, to say the least. How to respond to something like this? ... What if it was where Dead Master had been taken? She had come to this world after going through the hole the kidnappers had entered and exited through, so the possibility immediately came to the otherself's mind. It was a possibility that the girl absolutely could not ignore. She watched the blonde woman who had appeared leap into the hole... and promptly tipped forward to plummet into the blackness herself. For the less confident in their ability to survive a fall like this, there was a lift if they chose to follow.

Black Rock Shooter felt the air rushing around her as she plunged into the darkness. She had to find out if it was Dead Master down there. She just had to. Tilting her legs beneath herself, she landed swiftly, her boots slamming into the ground and tossing up sand. As she did, she realized and automatic lighting system had kicked in, resulting in the pit being illuminated all the way down. Anyone who looked now would see that both Black Rock Shooter and the blonde had survived the fall easily.

However, the otherself's attention was swiftly taken by what was in the pit. It was a coffin. Silver, made of some form of metal, and adorned with geometric shapes and lines. The sides were lined with tubes, which stretched off and buried themselves in the sand. There were consoles and the like surrounding it, as if somehow monitoring it.

The sensation of power was coming directly from the coffin. Black Rock Shooter took a slow step towards it.
