[/center]

Midna had gotten the rundown of the situation and then left behind as the queen bee headed for the fight with Tora in tow. She did not look particularly pleased by this, but Midna thought it was hilarious to watch. The catch-up chat had given Vah Naboris time to catch-up itself and now, together, the princess and the war machine advanced towards the battle that was already raging away, with those who had taken a deal for continued immortality chasing those that had been swayed by the speeches of their animalistic teammates. 

One of those retreating had even managed to get out and over to her. The short bearded man had raced ahead of the pack despite his unimpressive stature (not that Midna was one to talk, being only a little bigger than him, and that only thanks to her absorption of Urbosa’s spirit) thanks to a hookshot like contraption that had let him wizz from point to point in the blink of an eye.

[color=Aquamarine]”Hello,”[/color] Midna called over to the dwarf, giving him a dainty finger wave from where she was drifting just adobe the sands in the shade of the titanic beast. She’d tried walking on the sands, but doing so barefoot had not been pleasant in the slightest. Even staying low as she was it still felt like her royal feet were being roasted by the heat radiating from the sand but after she’d seen what the enemies stray bullets had done to an unfortunate palm tree she'd decided to stick low to the ground despite the discomfort. This gave her the brief impression of being normal, and indeed her newly acquired Gerudo muscle even made her look a little dwarfish at first glance until you looked closer and saw everything else that was off about how she moved and looked impishly gliding across the sands.

[color=Aquamarine]”Be careful to not get squished like a bug under Vah Naboris' hooves. Also, I hope you’re not thinking of keeping running. There’s nothing but sand out there for quite a while,”[/color] she told him, her tone playful despite the warning she was in-parting, before laying out his options [color=Aquamarine]”Either hide, guard me or find a way to help your friends get to safety and then we’ll all get out of here. Your choice”[/color] she told him shrugging to indicate she didn't really mind what he did, before adding after a moments thought [color=Aquamarine]”Unless Fox has more risky ideas up his sleeves”[/color]

She realized that she wasn't entirely sure what the plan was other than keeping their new allies safe from their vengeful former comrades. Her instinct was to just leave now that they’d gotten what they could, but her talk with Fox gave her the impression he’d try to steal more chickens from the coop than they already had gotten out.

[color=Aquamarine]”Either way, it's time to bring down the thunder”[/color] she said, drifting onward as Vah Naboris’s humps began to spark with electricity, their arcane power humming to life and awaiting a target designation. Midna drifted up the side of a sand dune, laying belly down in the air and skimming over the hot sands so she could peek over the top at the fight. Even though she could see it though Naboris and her own eyesight was bad in the light part of her instinctively wanted to see the danger with her own eyes. She got a look just in time to watch the heavy snipe someone with his finger gun. Midna assumed she’d missed some kind of spellcasting and as a result judged the heavy to be a warrior who was also proficient in spellcraft, something that made him a potentially useful anomaly in her eyes. That trickshot still left a fair number of enemies rushing the yellow team after that however, and if she understood the situation correctly, the dead man would be back any second from their base. A bit like the monsters and minions that had been used during the shattering of time had just kept coming till you took their spawning forts.

Now that she thought about it, if they wanted to not abandon the kids or get trapped fighting their way out of the pyramid, they might need to deal with this. Most of her was at most mildly irritated by this, but another part of her, a new one, was almost pleased with the opportunity to fight against new and interesting foes. Midna didn’t take the time analyze this new impulse and simply pushed it down when it also complained about the dishonorable tactic she was going to employ. 

[color=Aquamarine]”Hmmmm,”[/color] Midna scanned the targets available, laying belly down in the air with her feet kicked up above her legs. The squid and the soldier where getting too close to the fleeing yellow team, so she instead picked the slower members of their opposition, pointing at the group containing the Cunning, the Totem, the Raider, and the Vanguard and saying [color=Aquamarine]”You lot will do”[/color] 

Power surged on Vah Naboris’s back and static began to crackle around the Vanguard specifically as the rather slow charging sequence of the titan’s defensive weapon started warming up. 

[color=Aquamarine]”Come on. Come on! Strike already!”[/color] she muttered to herself impatiently once it became clear this was going to take a while. As she waited she directed Vah Naboris to direct its path to one side of the fleeing team rather than right at them. She did not want to accidentally trample the escapees as they ran away.

[color=SpringGreen]”Huh. Neat stuff”[/color] Jr said, looking over his shoulder as Geralt got his items from the crushed spirits, before thinking for a moment and yelling at Kamek [color=SpringGreen]”Hey, where’s Mimi?”[/color]

Kamek paused, and then pointed to his pocket [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Broke her ’mask’”[/color]

Jr groaned, but he got the implication and so picked Mimi’s pokeball from where it was sitting alone on his chest bandolier and tossed it out. The ball bounced off of the cleaning, and then froze in the air, shooting a red beam out into the magikoopa’s robe's pocket, pulling the upset spook up into a hiding space that wasn't going out into danger once more. Then the ball bounced down to the ground and then leapt back into Jr’s hand. He’d gotten a bit of practice with tossing the pokemon storage device during his time learning from Steven Stone, but he was still impressed by how good they felt to handle. He also knew that, if given a bit of time, Mimi’d fix her own disguise right up in there. Somehow. But until she did he'd need to think of another way to contribute.

Kamek left the boy behind as he mulled over how he could be more useful in future and headed out onto the deck of the ariship. From there he got a clear look at the fight. One of the princess’s escorts was straight-up gone, while another looked like it had been knocked unconscious, something he didn’t even know could happen but that he guessed could definitely come in handy if they won and could take her back with them. The princess herself however was still up and fighting fit, engaging in a simultaneous battle of toy sized airplanes with Ranger while also duking it out in melee with Sakura, only to grab and toss the girl away a few moments after he started examining the battle. His 3 remaining clones were also still in the fight, but without direction they were being rather useless. 

Silently he directed the two red clones to bombard the princess with his own standard bouncing fireballs as the surprisingly unharmed Sakura did the same with her cannons, before sending them after the bombers once the school girl got back into brawling range for fear of hitting her by accident. The magikoopa clones were not built for dogfighting however, and so one immediately took a bomb to the face and had to limp away from the fight for the white mage to heal. Meanwhile the other one used the tentacle spike to try and swat the planes out of the air, as everything else they had at their disposal was much too slow to hit the nippy ball shaped bombers.

While Kamek had been playing air force general from a safe distance, and Geralt dived off of the ship to get in close and go spirit hunting, the toadies had buzzed past their creator to collect one more spirit, this time at Jr’s request. They came back caring the [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/kancolle/images/7/77/Light_Cruiser_To-Class_Full.png]To-Class[/url] cruiser that Kamek had previously downed. They drifted past and Kamek and presented their find to the prince, who glanced over from the fight and down to where his baby behemoth was sitting in his lap.

[color=SpringGreen]”Alright Tyrant,”[/color] he said, as he took the spirit from the toadies and then pressed it into the horned pig’s back [color=SpringGreen]”Time to pull your weight”[/color]
