[h2]Saber - Restaurant District, Yggdrasil[/h2]

Saber lowered Excalibur, glaring at the place where the swordswoman had cut a portal. She had escaped... but at the very least, no civilians had been hurt and the rest of the attack force had been halted, stopped in their tracks. The survivors would be detained and questioned. Depending on how they responded, they would get lesser sentences. While they had attacked civilians, and in a fight there was little room to spare their lives, the survivors could still obtain a lighter sentence if they were cooperative. Shadow Eternity operatives had varied in their response. Some were simply working and would gladly aid the UMMA. Others were fanatical. Considering how these ones had attempted to shoot civilians without receiving orders to do so, Saber suspected the latter. But she couldn't sure sure.

However, the King of Knights was snapped out of her thoughts when Nono suddenly leaped down from the catwalk and threw her arms around her. Saber couldn't help but let out a small yelp as she was lifted off the ground and spun. Why was Nono hugging her so closely?! Why was this... why...

Saber was not someone used to close physical proximity with others. Yes, she had been close to Rin before, and she had previously approached Shirou, but being picked up and spun around by Nono was a dramatically different situation then either of those.

"I... y-yes, we... we did..."

Saber's cheeks lightly colored. Needless to say, this was awkward.

[h2]Kirisame Marisa, Client World 12262009-A(Macross)[/h2]

"... Eh? Does it sound absurd?" Marisa tilted her head as her broom reached low enough for her to hop off of it and take it back in her hand. It kind of seemed like the natural option to her, really. She didn't need to be sneaky, so when she wanted to travel from universe to universe, the obvious option was to put a hole in the thing that was barring her way. Seemed pretty damn straight-forward to her! "Eh, I just blew the hell outta the obstacle, it was in my way so it got to taste some of my firepower!"

Marisa grinned happily, looking up at the boy. At least, until she noticed they were drawing a crowd. Placing her hands firmly on her hips. Her grin widened.

"Hey there!" she declared, "I'm Kirisame Marisa!"

[h2]Swordswoman - Shadow Eternity Base[/h2]

The swordswoman sighed. Her subordinates were evil-minded trash, that was for sure. Maybe her new ones would, you know, actually listen when they weren't supposed to hurt innocent people. Jeez. It's not like they couldn't take down the UMMA [i]without[/i] murdering the civilians. What was even the point in killing them? And on top of that she had to retreat... that cutie had been so fun to fight, too. Oh, she could feel her cheeks flushing at the thought of those delicious legs, those curves, those lovely laser cannons...

She licked her lips. The swordswoman desperately hoped to meet her again. Somewhere where there weren't innocents getting in the way of either of them [i]really[/i] cutting loose.

For now... she had to report. Her "superior" was really only one in the direct chain of command. When it came to combat she could give out orders pretty freely, but she was working for him and was assigned this mission under him. And because of her trash subordinates and some tough UMMA agents, it'd failed.

Well great.
