[h2]Vita[/h2]

The trip had given Vita chance to calm down, at least to some extent. She had no intention of forgiving the man for destroying her hat, but eventually she had realized that it was likely best to cooperate with the JSDF for now. After all, that was the usual course of the TSAB, though... something seemed off here. It didn't stop the tiny redheaded girl from sitting and pouting the entire drive to the National Diet building, seated beside the blue-haired girl who had wielded an energy sword of some nature. She had reverted to her usual clothing, in this case the white skull t-shirt with the black skirt and striped stockings. Ideally, the coming meeting would would show Vita the path back to Hayate's side, the place where she belonged...

... And the answer after the meeting had concluded was both yes and no. Yes in that she now understood the situation, as bewildering as it was to her. No in that it didn't give her any clear path at all. This was not the universe she called home. Somehow, through some form of powerful magic perhaps, her and several others had been transported to an entirely different universe. One that did not natively hold any kind of magic. One that, against all odds, depicted everyone here in works of fiction.

After the initial wave of shock and confusion, the tiny redhead felt herself stewing in irritation. Not only was she taken to some other universe, as far from Hayate as seemingly possible, but they had produced this kind of thing about her, about Hayate, without even knowing of her to ask her permission? It made her angry and confused at the same time. On one hand they didn't know she existed, but that didn't mean they should just make this sort of thing recklessly, did they?!

However, Vita wasn't so annoyed that she didn't pay attention to the offer the man was making. Even if this was an entirely different universe, the TSAB made a point of cooperating with local governments(in part so they'd willingly step aside when the situation was beyond their ability to handle). This case should be considered as just the same.

"... As a representative of the Time-Space Administration Bureau," Vita begin, stepping to her feet, "I'll cooperate with your offer until this whole thing is averted and everyone is returned to their proper universe. Hmph, whoever did [i]this[/i] is going to p-"

And then one of their number fired off a volley of lasers into the walls and screen. Vita immediately gripped Graf Eisen and prepared to transform, but before she could go any further he had already run out into the hall.

"What the hell was that?!"

[h2]Mordred[/h2]

Mordred couldn't exactly recover from the perplexed stare she gave the female soldier, who had now fallen silent after her 'temporary Master' had asked about Menomaru. At least, until she heard the shouting over the communications system. That jolted the soldier out of her thoughts almost immediately. And then when her superior whispered in her ear, well... [i]that[/i] left her looking quite nervous before she returned her attention to the red knight and the others.

"... Er... well... Menomaru?" she paused for a moment. To her own admittance, she didn't know as many anime and manga from before 2000, but she seemed to recall her father watching an Inu Yasha OVA at some point that featured a character with the same name... "I think he mgiht be from Inu Yasha? I never watched the series myself... er, I mean, I guess from the universe Inu Yasha was accidentally based on? That... must be how that works er..."

Realizing her nerves had gotten the best of her, Private Minami coughed and cleared her throat. She had to try not to explode over the fact that she was talking to Evangeline from Negima now as well. Though that wasn't as big a deal as Mordred for her.

"I-In any case, er, I know you must all be very confused!" she continued, taking a deep breath, "But I want you to understand that we want to help you in any way we can. It's..."

She paused for a moment. How can she put this? It wasn't exactly easy to conduct a briefing in the middle of a park... Oh, that was it!

"It's hard to conduct a briefing in the middle of a park! But if you come with us, we can try and fill you in on the situation. Hopefully we can even get started on getting to the bottom of this incident!"

Private Minami jutted one finger into the air and immediately winced. This wasn't going to work at [i]all[/i] was it...

Mordred folded her arms. She wasn't too sure how she felt about this, to say the least. But at the same time she wanted to get back to her true Master as soon as possible. It wasn't like she wasn't in the least bit thankful towards Evangeline for volunteering herself to serve as a temporary Master, but at the same time that was nothing like being with her proper Master now was it? Besides, the method through which the contract had been forged was still... even now it made her flush a bit with embarrassment just remembering it.

"I'm all for any kind of answers you can give," Mordred replied, finally, her desire to return to her Master overcoming her wariness. "But I guess I gotta consider what everybody else wants."

[h2]Konpaku Youmu[/h2]

Ah? He'd fired into the building? If anyone got hurt because of that... Youmu couldn't allow something like that to happen again! So that meant that the first thing she had to do was to destroy those weapons, cut them to pieces before they could shoot again! Roukanken flashed, slicing apart one of their guns in an instant before she swung her foot forward and brought her heel directly into his stomach, sending him hurtling backwards until he collided with a street sign, a dull 'thunk' resounding as he collapsed into an unconscious heap.

Every movement had to claim one of their weapons. Every single one. Youmu knew their 'danmaku' was hardly the same as her own. If it hit anyone, they could die! So she wouldn't let that happen, not as long as she could help it. Any single misstep here would be utterly shameful. As another of the men panicked and attempted to fire, she brought Hakuroken and sliced apart his weapon down the middle, leaving him to drop it uselessly in terror. Another gun cut apart, and another...!

She had to destroy each one!
