"... Eeeeh?"

So much was happening so fast. A little girl, a little girl dressed up in some kind of fancy outfit, had now approached them. After a moment, Mordred realized just what that outfit reminded her of: The Einzbern girl! The pale one, not the tanned one. Definitely not the tanned one. Illya. That outfit reminded her just of the Caster's look. Certainly it wasn't an [i]exact[/i] copy, not by a long shot, but it left her wondering if this was another magical girl. Unlike Illya, this magical girl seemed like she could be an enemy as well. Mordred raised her sword, placing her free hand on the hilt as she did, gripping her weapon firmly in both.

"I wasn't planning on hurting anybody, but if you wanna fight I'm ready!" she declared, boasting a somewhat vicious smirk for a moment. Mordred was hardly about to [i]complain[/i] about a fight, but a nagging voice inside her pointed out that the magical girl seemed like she'd rather talk and hadn't actually attacked yet. "... Besides, I'm arming myself 'cause I just got yanked away from lunch to get dropped off in a damn park."

There. That was talk, right? Of course, any further developments in that... conversation were immediately cut short when a massive swarm of moths descended upon them, spraying some kind of powder all over the place and encircling all four of the people present.

"... Tch."

It didn't take a genius to figure out that these were some kind of trash-tier(in Mordred's opinion, at least) familiars spewing out some kind of poison dust. In the middle of a park, huh? Without a care in the world about who it could get to, huh?

Her 'temporary Master' had the right idea. The dust wasn't too useful against a Servant, but anyone else who was around here...

"Gladly!"

Placing one foot forward, Mordred felt power surge through her limbs like fire as she triggered one of her inherent capabilities, prana in the form of red lighting surging around her body as she suddenly put on a burst of speed. Red light flared around Clarent's blade as she suddenly cut a swath into the swarm of moths in an instant, their bodies vaporized by the sudden flash of destructive magical energy. Of course, there were plenty more moths where [i]those[/i] came from... Mordred turned on her heel and cut another blazing path into the moths with a flash of crackling red energy.

It'd take a bit, but she was confident she could destroy all of them. Or enough that the bastard behind it would come out to play.

They'd be a hell of a lot more fun to kill then these pests.

[h2]Vita[/h2]

... Where?

This was a park. But it wasn't the park she'd just been in. For a few, stunned moments, her braided pigtails swaying, the redheaded girl looked about frantically. But there wasn't anyone there.

"Hayate?" she asked, blue eyes wide. She'd been alongside her just a moment ago and now... now... The tiny redhead stared. Hayate was gone. So was Signum and Shamal. And this wasn't even the same park as she'd just been in.

Anger began bubbling fourth in her heart. Someone had interfered. Someone had done [i]something[/i] to take her away. To take her somewhere else. To pull her away from those she most cared about...!

Vita, Cloud Knight of the Hammer, grasped the armed device hanging in its standby form from around her neck.

"Let's go, Eisen!" cried Vita. She was going to find whoever was responsible.

"[color=ed1c24]Yes sir![/color]" responded the Armed Device.

Almost immediately, she was consumed in red light. That familiar sensation flowed through her body as she was clad in Knight's Armor, her current outfit melting away to be replaced with one made for battle. It was topped off with her treasured hat, and the moment the light faded, Vita's diminutive frame was once again clad in the dress that was her Knight's Armor. Gripped in one hand was Eisen in its activated form, a long-handled red and silver mallet gleaming in the light of the day. Without a moment's delay, the tiny Cloud Knight immediately ascended, air whipping past her as she took to the skies.

Either she would find Hayate, or she would find the one who did this and [i]beat them into the ground[/i] until she was returned to Hayate's side. Either way, she was going to get back to Hayate.

Tearing through the skies, however, revealed to Vita something that she couldn't ignore. There was a fight. Two girls, both of whom appeared to be magi, against a man who seemed to be firing some kind of jewel shards.

"Grrr..."

She was an agent of the TSAB. A very new agent of the TSAB, but an agent regardless. And so she couldn't ignore the fight that was already well underway. Abruptly, she slowed in the air before immediately putting on another burst of speed, tearing through the air towards the fighters before coming to a halt.

"What the [i]hell are you doing?![/i]" she snapped, immediately. Negotiations, or really anything that involved just talking to the enemy, were hardly Vita's strongsuit. Not only was she already enraged, but she quite simply had no patience even at the best of times.
