The Yuyuko Devastation Zone: aka "A Ransacked Brunch Buffet"
"Pardon my interruption. Getting back to the topic your brave vassal and Ms. Meteora here have started into, none of us come from here, arriving here rather suddenly without any idea of how or why. But if this 'Yukari' is involved in what is going on potentially," Sanaki said, keeping her voice down enough for just the group at their table alone to hear, including this Yuyuko whom the brave swordswoman had seen fit to attend to,
"If she is involved, it seems it could be with more than dangerous individuals, one of which has not idly handed out serious threats to this entire world and any of us here who would defy their will in some manner. This is why we seek if you know anything about this Yukari's involvemnet in current affairs."As much as she wanted to unwind a bit, and indeed they were all waiting on food to arrive now it seemed at some establishment that reminded her of a busy bustling inn. It was not a sort of place she was used to, frankly, and keeping focus on the tasks and matters at hand was for her a driving force in keeping a level head right now. She did not want to make the others uncomfortable, for they might be the only allies she'd get here if fate had any hand in this, but at the same time the looming worry of how to handle all of this sudden change and situation in the long term (if it came to that) lingered in the very back of Sanaki's mind. Though from what she understood of Ms. Meteora's words, word of them and their acts and presence had spread like wildfire. The piercing, drill-like looks they gave and flashes coming from the small devices in the hands of those eating here was a sure sign of that.
Then again, she at least was used to such looks completely from her time in front of crowds, though this odd situation did make it a little more uneasy then she might've liked to feel. What's next, this world has a 'game' of some sort that features her? She heard the mention of such things on the way the UN.

Giant Lizard Whacka-Intenstines Begins...Maybe
As the scene continued, an odd trend was becoming apparent. The bodies were not disappearing anymore after a time had already passed into this "odd" invasion. Some sort of odd acclimation to a new world? The magic was running low? The true reasons could not be ascertained, but what could be was that between the new monsters bodies, the rubble, the dead people, and all of this mess was that it had to be stopped. Stopped as soon as possible. The whizz of helicopters and sound of bullet patter rang out as the UK military made their way increasing in towards the center as they began to gain some ground as the monster numbers began to thin a little bit. A tank or few could be heard rolling in from the edge as well, providing enough firepower to start to cut down the monster numbers more dramatically. Though it would still be a hard struggle to the end, even as one explosion could be heard as electrified arrows from some of the lizards managed to fry one tank as it had just begun to move into the area.
By now smoke in pillars was rising from the destroyed areas, some monsters still spreading damage as the army sought to contain it. And contain it they were doing at the very least. However, by now news helicopters were flying about, sometimes getting a bit close and being shot at, some hanging back a distance, others on the ground near the action as close as they could get. The news media was hounding the scene like starving dogs to a hunk of meat, and around the world images from new channels and international broadcasts of this live battle were tacked onto countless TV screens just like other incident likely would be as the world became aware of an all-too-odd situation.
Meanwhile, as Birdy smashed the shield over the creature's head, even the oddly-shaped metal shield bent from the strength of the blow and force of the impact. However, it was enough of a blow to get the creature to feel it and get her the attention she'd wanted, it seemed. The King Dodongo she had hit looked over to her, swiping out with its paw at her body as it gave a terrifying roar of attempted intimidation in her direction. Its mouth was filled with sharp teeth and a pair of fangs on the bottom, not something to be taken lightly....especially for a creature that constantly ate metal underground and incorporated this into its absurdly tough hide.

At the same time, Aile circled around as she finally reached the center as well, mopping up a few of the lizards charging at a group of four soldiers. The men seemed huddled behind cover smartly, some of them bloody from injuries, behind their few small piles of concrete rubble as they seemed to try to stand up to the smaller monsters and larger beasts....albeit somewhat futilely for the latter. As she then landed, one of the soldiers moved out, somewhat warily, gun held forward as he looked at Aile over a few times. It felt odd to her, but....perhaps these people hadn't seen armor like this before? Not that the people in her world were any different on seeing her, though not being shot at first was a potentially good sign.
"...Eh lads, stand down for a moment, she doesn't seem like one of them, or with em' for that matter," the soldier approaching Aile said as he lowered his weapon after a moment and turned to the other guys who carefully began to poke out of cover since they were safe for the moment, though he held himself upright and kept a composed and professional tone,
"Who are you, or maybe what are you, and what are you doing here of all places? Are you from the same place as those thing?""I am not with those things....actually, i don't know where i am of all places. One moment i was home, and the next i am in this place falling from the sky, unfamiliar, strange, but i couldn't sit by and watch people get hurt when i saw these things start storming the streets," Aile said, trying to explain as best as she could, glancing over her shoulder at the larger enemies for a moment before looking back to the man,
"Did you see anything that might be a weak point on those big ones?"The soldier thought for a second, and then quickly nodded.
"Their hide takes grenades and bullets and everything we've thrown at them yet," the man said, before gesturing to one of the men near him who was trying to patch some arrow wounds up with one of his other two comrades,
"But James over here hit one in the mouth and that seemed to get its attention for a moment. Then the little ones attacked us. Since then we haven't gotten a chance yet to repel the damn things, lost most my men but the few of us here to get to this point at all. Just got word the tanks are rolling in, but the resistance means they'll be a while longer before we get the firepower we need.""Mmm....I know there's been someone else cutting through the smaller ones like i have, from what i've seen on the way here. I don't know about her, but if i or her could maybe get inside we could probably kill them too," Aile said, trying to make some sort of sense of the situation and what she'd seen so far.
That other woman seemed something else. Aile'd seem mechanoloids and such do a lot of damage, but this woman seemed to just rip through them with her bare hands. It was like a storybook she'd heard about in stores once back home, about a hero who fought off enemies with their fists. But with that in mind, if she herself and/or that woman could hit the vulnerable points of these things, not risking trying to cut through the outside in case it didn't work, then it at least was a chance they could try to end this fast. It was worth a shot, at least, before these things might spread farther since nothing had been able to stop them from leveling quite a nice sized area already to the ground.
The soldier looked at her for a moment, though after taking in her beam sabers once more and how easily they'd dispatched the smaller things in one go....he let a grin come onto his face. Motivation was motivation, and to the man this seemed to be an chance he and his men hadn't had so far in the battle for saving London here from the monstrosities. The headless corpses of four lizard-things sat on the ground around the young woman even.
[color=aquamarine]"I think we can arrange that, miss. It's hard to think someone so young can do what you have in front of our eyes, but if it stops these things before it gets worse then i believe we have a shot. A hell of a shot, but a shot,"[/aquamarine] the soldier said, before looking back to his last three men once more, the one having been patched up finally by now to some extent,
"Men, we might have a chance to stop these things before the losses stack up. Get on the radio, James, and tell the others to look out for this young lady and another one out there trying to kill these things. Tell the others to get the big bastards to open up wide for those two. It's a damn gamble, but one potential hell of a result if this pays off."The wounded and now patched-up man, James, nodded before going onto his radio and beginning to call out to the others. Aile couldn't hear what was being said, but at least it was an idea. Some hope for the situation at large if nothing else.
"We'll give you cover fire on the closest one, as least as much as he can till those little one try at us again," the man said, his grin brimming with confidence to try to boost his men's morale in this instance,
"If anyone if the other guys out there give you hell about this, tell em' Captain Jonathan Woods sent you."Aile smiled and gave a nod in return, unable to hold back at the man's attempt to inspire those around him and her to do their best in this. It wasn't a cartoon or fictional work in this, this was real, but anything to turn the tide could be a good thing she supposed. She...just didn't want any more people to die right now, really. Even as the seeming commander here piped up to her, though, his other two men were leveling their guns over the top of the rubble they had been behind, taking aim at the nearest giant lizard-sorta-thing without another word.
She was almost surprised the Biometals hadn't spoken up, but perhaps even they could read the situation if they startled what looked like trained soldiers. Trained human soldiers of all things, not robots protecting them. And in hindsight, she felt this was perhaps a good idea....maybe? She had no idea for sure, actually. But she wasn't going to waste her time.
As Aile then sped off from her location towards the nearest scaly beast, the sound of "pop pop pop" could be heard behind her, the two men taking fire at the eyes of the nearest large target. And sure enough, a few well placed shots and proper timing managed to make it look around, giving out a great roar at the before just annoying soldiers. Time to see if she could do this.
"Boosters are at full, and sabers ready....good luck, Aile," Model H said to her, a seemingly genuine hopefulness in its tone tinted into the usual calm and almost stoic composed tone it normally had.
She felt like she needed luck, even as she shot straight into the mouth of the beast just as it began to close. Her beam sabers were pointed forwards as well, as if to pierce into whatever came next....just as the beast's mouth finally closed behind her once it noticed something amiss beyond just the painful flies stinging its eyes from afar.
....
....
....
....
....
After a few seconds of closing its mouth, the King Dodongo seemed to stop moving. Then a lurch after another minute. Then another lurch as its body as a whole shuddered before the eyes of those nearby after another minute that felt longer than the first. It tried to take a step or two forwards towards the soldiers, but then all of a sudden collapsed onto the ground...limp. After a moment the mouth of the beast seemed to start to move, just a bit, as if...being move from inside? Eventually the mouth was pried open, a wash of beast blood and severed innards leaking out around Aile's feet as she held the dead King Dodongo's mouth open with her two hands, beam sabers put to the side. She too was covered in the nasty, smelly, purple monster blood, and the smell of digestive fluids was all over here. But as she stepped out of its mouth and took a breath of fresh air, she felt a wave of joy come over her that she managed to kill one of these things.
In there Mode H had notified her that the acids of the thing's stomach, after they were in them, were for digesting...metal it seemed? Though luckily the biometals were not normal metals, or at least were something that wasn't going to be broken down by this thing's stomach if naught else. It'd have been a nightmare otherwise....though the inside of that beast had been an "interesting" experience to say the least. She had almost switched to Model L's form if she could, just due to the dark and air-lacking innards of this thing. Though she'd quickly been pushed to remember that the biometals did help her breathe anywhere like water in general. Heh.

Meanwhile, whomever could among the other soldiers began to take aim at the eyes of the beasts closest to the two females. Others, however, were laden down with smaller enemies to be able to help. There was at least some support for them, perhaps? Had the captain's message worked? Considering the focus on the beasts nearest the two fighting females, it seemed the most likely idea that whoever could was trying at least. It wasn't much help, but the chance to take down these things before they killed more was perhaps a more desirable idea than shoving off help from seemingly out of the comic books.
