[color=9966cc]"Hmm..."[/color] Juno's reaction to both Miyu's incapacity to be talked with and the sudden rain soaking the snacks she was eating wasn't the best possible one. The Spatial warrior frowned her brow before glaring at Dora and throwing the rest of the wet chips over the bridge's edge, down to the void below.

When Sliske approached the other Angels, Juno didn't say a thing. She may not be the best strategist of the Heavens, but even she knew better than trusting the Demons' words. Even so it didn't mattered to her, but if anyone intended to betray their faction, she was going to do something about it.

Her attention remained so until Balrog came barreling at everyone. Everything was just so chaotic and complicated that Juno couldn't get it at all. Why people just didn't set their problems fighting one another, instead of doing these stupid things? That was when Juno had a good idea. She moved back to the beginning of the bridge with a flash step, before unleashing a blast of gravitational force with one hand, pushing everyone on the bridge either inside of the elevator lobby (if they were relatively at the middle of the bridge) or out of it (if they weren't lined up with the shot).

Getting everyone, or most of everyone, inside of a confined space was bound to get some fight happening, to entertain Juno. As soon as everyone was sent flying, the purple-haired warrior dashed after them, drawing her blade to try and slash Balrog from behind.

[color=dodgerblue]"I cannot comply with this order, commander. Ignoring the Alchemist of Origin's instructions bear a risk too great according to my analysis. My coding has self preservation as the highest priority after complying to the Queen's Commands."[/color] Ni-Mu's reply to Shizuka was as cold and machine-like as the rest of her speeches. The android didn't bore a speck of emotion inside of her, truly a perfect machine on the molds of the Machina High Queen. Which would perhaps feel jarring when the maid was used to deal with units with less than perfect behavioral codes and other humans.

When the rain began to hit the bridge, turning everything into a slippery mire, Ni-Mu's greatest asset, her adaptability kicked in. Her processors reconfigured her stabilizers with real time perfection, making sure that neither the wind, nor the water, or even the snow up ahead were uncounted for whenever Ni-Mu moved.

[color=dodgerblue]"Recalculating targets. Ready: Blade Creation. Set: Continuous Barrage. Overlimit."[/color] As she said so, a veritable storm of projected swords hit the bridge, avoiding the position of the Machina, but otherwise covering the whole place, as if the rain had turned into projections of hard light and steel. Each blade that hit the ground, or an enemy exploded in shrapnel that began a chain reaction, the anarchy at the bridge only ever helped Ni-Mu as she charged forward using the cover Shizuka provided to try and reach the gates.

Or so it looked like, until the gravity was tampered with in an instantaneous move, sending Ni-Mu barreling at one of the lamias, who was also pushed back inside the elevator hall. It took only one moment for Ni-Mu's processors to  calculate a new strategy though. [color=dodgerblue]"Gear Shift x6. Ready: Blade Creation. Set: Forest of Impalement. Gear off."[/color] With blinding speed, Ni-Mu's command created a veritable forest of lances, spears and the like growing from the walls and floor of the elevator room (except for the calculated impact zones of any Machina units). The android kicked the lamia at the waiting blades, before creating spikes at her own feet, allowing her to stay stuck at the wall as the others crashed at waiting death trap.

[color=gold]"Fine, then. Things are starting to heat up now, I really could use some refreshment and a maid is way better than these homunculi."[/color] Hohenheim said as she snapped her fingers, teleporting Hibiki to the Alchemist's study, where Hohenheim was waiting with an obnoxious smirk on her face as she looked at the most recent developments of her challenge through a gigantic holographic monitor as if that was some kind of twisted sports event.
