"Crap." Kiara immediately sat up and placed her right hand in her coat pocket, ready to fight back if the situation resorted to that. Marianne stood up as well, glaring at the approaching Ultimatum soldier. "A mongrel following orders like a toy soldier? Pathetic." Kiara made sure to keep the younger girl close to her. The Ultimatum soldier paused before taking a few more steps. "Easy now. We're not here to hurt either of you; we only have the intent of questioning you. By order of Lord Asgard, you are to be taken immediately." Kiara frowned. "Orders from Asgard, huh? What if I say no?" Taking her hand out of the pocket now, Kiara summoned forward a Japanese chokuto with two hand-guns melded to each side of the blade with a dark blue handle. The Volunta; a weapon said to consume a being's very existence. Raising it up, she pointed the weapon straight at the Ultimatum troop. "I've heard of these things before you know. Recruiters from both sides trying to gain bulk for their armies. It doesn't matter the age to you people, as long as it's enough to keep your forces fighting..." Turning to look at Marianne, Kiara also noticed another troop near a young girl that looked a lot like their waitress. "I am [i]not[/i] letting you force children to fight in your stupid war." "Silence!" The voice of the Ultimatum Elite boomed throughout the small diner as he pointed directly at Kiara. "You speak like a soldier yourself girl. You shall make an excellent offering under the leadership of our divine Asgard. Cease her at once!" Without hesitation, the Ultimatum soldier leapt forward to swing her weapon. Kiara was quick to react, raising her blade to block the attack and hold it in place. The other troop was heading for the waitress girl near Belle now...dammit! "Marianne! Can you help her out?" The dark dressed girl knew it was better not to complain in situations like these, so instead of sending a scathing verbal retort to her companion, she instead hurled a blast of dark energy straight at the second soldier, knocking the woman backwards and stunning her. That would at least buy them some time.
