“I have to be [i]that[/i] careful?” Rosie pouted. “Well, I guess with a reward like that, some extra effort would be expected…” he got up and left once he was waved away, eager to get out of such a drab place.

He stopped right before he went out the front door, blending in with the shade; he heard something. Something about, if he was not mistaken, a First Light? Boy, this was a [i]special[/i] one. Hopefully that would never be something he’d need to worry about.

He left the building, deciding to get this over with before they could realize that he might be taking too long. His hand was proudly on his hip like he had never stopped walking. He loosened up a bit once Sage started talking, an index finger pressed against his cheekbone as he thought.

“Well,” Rosie admitted. “I don’t know anything that’s actually relevant to the job, if that’s what you mean...” 

He gave a devilish grin before he continued.

“Though I did try to grill poor Rod for a little more info before I left. I’ll be sure to let you know if I get anything useful out of him…”

The demon paused for a moment, considering whether to pry with any questions of his own.

“But as long as we’re talking about who knows what,” he mused. “How did you figure out where our target is? It sounded like you had some… prior history with it, during the briefing...”

“YES,” Seshat shouted as the ninja bounced off of her shield. “YOU DID [i]NOT[/i] THINK THIS THROUGH!” She huffed as he vanished, turning her attention back to the dragon. It only got harder to understand these humans as the centuries went by. 

She watched as the dragon twisted and thrashed, apparently having gathered even more Nomads since the last time she checked. It was moving around too much for her to get a decent shot off on it without the risk of hitting someone else, as well as preventing her from landing on it, so she decided to hang back and wait for it to calm down. Maybe it would fry that awful ninja in the meantime, as well.

Jill stood tall as the oni emperor spoke. She was trained to stare down kaijin like this, after all. Didn’t stop her from feeling jittery as hell on the inside, though. Her tank was all clogged up with nervous anticipation and the indignant anger she’d swallowed before. Which led to anticipation, as Daichi, against all odds, actually seemed to be considering her plea.

And all that indignant anger came surging back the moment she realized what was going on when that flash of blinding white light exploded in front of her. Her helmet helped reduce the horrible, agonizing glare, but not by much.

“GOD ████IT WHO THE ████ DECIDED TO PULL THAT ████ RIGHT AT THAT SPECIFIC ████IN’ MOMENT?!” Jill ranted, every curse drowned out by a piercing bleeping noise from Pit Stop as the bike rolled over to the Justice Rider’s side. She raised her fist to slam it against the dash, only to miss the bike entirely, her vision still obscured. She huffed, and the bike inched forwards to let her try again. She just sighed and tapped it with her index finger. She’d have to beat the shit out of whoever did that-

Was that Skeletor talking to her?

She turned her head to the now only slightly blurry figure telling her that diplomacy had failed. Pit Stop beeped rapidly.

“Why yes,” Jill agreed aggressively. “The skeleton man *does* make a very compelling point!” The Justice Rider struck a pose.

“Sorry Daichi,” Jill said unapologetically. “But it seems that diplomacy has failed! Pit Stop, let’s go!” She leapt on to her bike before she wheelied, backed up, and turned her gaze back to the necromancer.

“So you wouldn’t happen to have a plan of attack or anything,” Jill asked quietly. “Would you, Skull Man?” She figured that she would take any extra, coordinated help wherever she could get it when it came to oni.
