Whatever. One moment they were on the ground, and the next, they were on an airship in the sky, the beast beneath them dispersing and leaving her to land on her ass. If the others hadn’t caught on she wasn’t Kanbaru earlier, they certainly would now as the hacker tore off her flimsy excuse of a disguise and began swearing up and down the ship’s top like a drunken sailor. Her rage settled eventually, but not by much.

[color=fff79a]“Gee fucking willy, I’m not Kanbaru, what a surprise. Also, I didn’t think you shit stains would actually try to fight this thing,”[/color] Corpse Collector mused as the demon above and all around them roared into the air. The whole world seemed on fire at this point, between everyone landing on this one ship and some new blonde making the demon lose all control and go berserk. She looked around, sensing her card holder was busy herself with fighting some clown so here she was, stuck to rein chaos as far as she saw fit. Wasn’t that part of Kanbaru’s deal anyway?

CC rolled her eyes when Akiko abandoned them for Rose, shrugging as she cast a glance at Lorelai. [color=fff79a]“Meh. It’s not like we stay dead as Serei. And you look like a fun meathead to gun up,”[/color] she said with glee and a dark smirk. Quick drawing her gun, she pointed it at the knight, only to shoot a large chunk of debris behind her, sending small splinters flying by the power of her bullets. [color=fff79a]“But we’re still in shit creek so I’ll have my fun with you later. In the meantime, make yourself useful and blow up some rocks with me,”[/color] CC sneered, already standing back to back with Lorelai and shooting off many of the hazards that flew at the ship.

And there were a lot of them. Between the demon trying to literally clap them out of the sky and Rose’s frantic daredevil driving, the airship was swinging about and around from the damaged but furious demonic structure. They all avoided annihilation for now, but how long that lasted depended on how angry the demon still was. CC clung to Lorelai’s waist without asking to keep from being flung off from Rose’s ship maneuvers. [color=fff79a]“Can’t we just fucking shoot the summoner and go home!?”[/color]

Back on the ground with a still steamed Kanbaru, there was a subtle brush on her shoulder, one that soon manifested into full on touching. It was probably a trick of the mind because it almost felt like two hands were massaging her shoulders, easing off tension. And yet, there was nobody there, no one except the still sprawled Caprice and approaching Ami. However, whatever it was, must have indeed been real enough, because before Ami could get too close to Kanbaru, a slash marked itself on the ground in front of her, borne from an unknown source. There was a distinct, distorted growling in the air, one only Kanbaru heard in her head.
