[h3][color=#66b2b2]ARIA: THE PROTECTOR[/color] | PSPD #11[/h3][sub]ON-SITE: G.E.M.I.N.I. Assignment - Fighting all sides w/ [@ERode][@OwO][@FamishedPants][@BrokenPromise][/sub][hr]

[indent]The Protector thought for a moment that the pain in its legs radiated all the way to its tush. It struggled hard to suppress a yelp upon realizing that that was [i]not[/i] the case after looking back to see Apollo's hand grab its metallic rear. [i]Why? Why? What is he--[/i] The confusion didn't have enough time to settle in as a comforting glow washed over the two of them, all of a sudden feeling the pain leave its legs.

Embarrassed that it took some time to piece together what was happening, the giant metal suit of armor bowed its head to Apollo in shy thanks, suddenly feeling awkward holding its spear and shield. [color=#66b2b2]"T-thank you..."[/color] Its deep voice rang out from within.

Then, a loud *CRUNCH* sounded through the air, along with a chorus of [i]"holy shit"s[/i] and [i]"what the hell"s[/i]. The Protector sighed a breath of relief when it realized it was the work of Agent Silhouette, who looked doubly terrifying in action. Despite his horrifying guise and equally ghastly voice that surpassed even the creepiest urban legends in Japan to date, he worked for the greater good nonetheless. 

[color=0099a6]"Servant Sofron, at your services!"[/color] The Protector turned its attention to the butler who... unfortunately did not seem so out of place anymore-- and for good reason. A flaming skull flew towards them and then dipped into the ground, scorching the area around them. Within a metal suit, it was guaranteed to be cooked before it could do anything, and thus made a quick decision.

[color=#66b2b2]"Let's go!"[/color] The Protector's gravelly voice called out to the remaining Apollo before following Agent Silhouette to move away from the zone of burning ash. It coughed as the smoke began to fill its helmet and obscure its vision, but not enough to get it to curse. Even still, it held a vigilance that was far from new to nursery teachers watching out for their class, and successfully spotted a person in black armor aiming to harm its ally. 

In turn, the Protector noticed itself weakening-- the bright blue glow around its armor and especially its shield noticeably dimmer than before. This was not right. This melody was... [i]strong[/i].

...and so the Protector had to be [i]stronger[/i]. [i]Perhaps this was what one of its students would say.[/i]

With Agent Silhouette attempting to direct his work towards another man, the Protector opted to take on Kumambamon with as much strength as it could muster. Two seconds was all it needed as it thrust forward its spear towards the black suit, sending forth a melody that would keep [i]Kumambamon[/i] from moving... for the time being, at least. [/indent]
