[h2]Tachibana Hibiki[/h2]

"But, they're still people..." Hibiki said, hesitant even to punch them solidly--even if they were calling for her blood. This wasn't like the commander or Ogawa, where she could be certain that even if she tried to hit with all her might, it would either be outright turned on her or avoided. If she hit the hunters as hard as she could, the results would be undoubtedly messy... messier than even Hibiki knew, given the general state of affairs in Yharnam.

She would have to pull her punches. A lot. But the first punch, with the Symphogear hopping backwards and the gear around her arm shifting, showed what she could do even without contact. The gauntlet slammed into the air ahead of one of the hunters... and in the shockwave that followed, he and those around him were sent tumbling backwards into more. 

The only downside was having to take it slowly else the *air* be too dangerous.

There was something to be said about not using equipment able to take on an army on people armed only with rusty cleavers and torches.
