[b]Nono, Restaurant District, Yggdrasil[/b]

Nono was determined, strong, and with that determination fueling her it seemed almost inevitable that her attack would succeed, jetting her around the Katana Lady and delivering a hard kick that sent her tumbling across the catwalk, though not falling off. Just as well, Nono had the initiative back.

"Give it up," she called, coming in for a landing and then rushing in to confront the woman once more as her opponent recovered. "Your men are all defeated. There's no way you can win. Surrender and I promise you won't be harmed." She had a feeling it wouldn't work, but best to try, right? And if she pushed it, then Nono would just hit her again if she had to.

[b]Cinder Fall - Research Facility[/b]

Cinder sighed as she caught the voice of Charlotte telling her that she had found the machine, and luckily enough had not eaten it yet. She was more satisfied though as her attack hit, sending the mysterious girl scrambling for cover, and not escaping unharmed in the process. [i]I'll be right there,[/i] she said back over the mental link as she faced down her foe with a confident smirk.

She was confident then as the next shot came in, chuckling a bit at the ineffectual gesture, eyes flaring orange along with her dress, only to be caught by surprise as the bullet exploded on contact. It was successful in throwing her back, and she stumbled, heels not helping there. She was mostly unharmed, thanks to her Aura, but there was some ash from the explosive resting on her skin, giving it a black tinge where it fell.

Now she was...less than amused, her emotions surging though she fought to keep them under control for the moment. "Seems the little thing has a bite after all," she noted to no one in particular before her eyes flared color once more, the same whine from before heard before a pillar of fire erupted where the girl was, or had been.

That would be before she tossed a fireball, a small chuckle escaping. "Still, you're wasting your time. My companion already has what we came for. Getting rid of an annoying pest like you will only be a bonus," she taunted in a mocking voice as she advanced once more, not leaping to the offensive but slower, inexorable. Time to end this.

[b]Misaka 10032 - Client world 12262009-A (Macross)[/b]

Misaka was....intrigued, to hear Marisa introduce herself, as a magician of all people. She certainly fit in with popular depictions of magicians, at least from Misaka's research, though the thievery was still not welcome. There was also no verifying that she was indeed the best witch, as she so put it.

Slowly though, Kakine began to lower her to the ground, for which Misaka was grateful, but for now she was focused on her social interaction, recording everything for the Misaka Network to go over later. It was always thus with multiversal beings, so that all data could be examined thoroughly, for the benefit of Academy City, as well as their own development. 

"'Geographical records do not indicate a place known as Gensoyko existing in our universal plane of origin,' Misaka notes after careful review," Misaka said in the same monotone she always used, having briefly inquired across the Network to confirm that. "Census information does not contain a 'Kirisame Marisa' residing within Academy City or Japan. Multiversal origin can be confirmed." She tilted her head then. "'Are you a denizen of this reality,' Misaka asks with casual curiosity."
