@Raineh Daze Rank added! :D
@Raineh Daze ( responding real quick from break room )

I could not think of a rank for it really. I'm open to any ideas for a rank for the skill though! Almost tempted to put "A" for the rank Otherwise. (@_@)
@KoL Well, that hyphen was meant to try to phrase the A ranked attacks bit in a 'fancier' fashion. Not to signify the skill giving A- attacks. That being said, probably not my best design choice if it caused any confusion there. My apologies. Will edit that hyphen out! :)
@Raineh Daze Alright, here is my Archer! Just got him finished tonight, and am happy to fix anything that needs fixing! :D

@Raineh Daze How many Archers have been submitted so far?
The Saturnian League


Official Directorate Offices, Director's Room





...It had been a long day, especially in regards to the Senatorial Conference that had barely finished only about four hours ago.

The usual debates and politicking had been present, yes, but those things she had been long accustomed to. What was more concerning was the reports of Legion movements and other suspicious activities within the Sol System itself, leading to the heaviest topic of the entire session: War. The air might as well have been as dense with tension as a stick of synthetic butter was thick, at least when the topic had finally been finally brought onto the floor.

To no one's surprise, the palpable feeling of dread had swept in like a tide as the usually bickering and debating senators and their factions frankly turned into an eerie silence for about 10 minutes. It was an unpleasant thing to ponder on, but between the state of Earth itself and the myriad of things going on the looming specter of internal conflict erupting within the system on a grander scale wasn't an utter impossibility either. It had to be prepared for, discussed, and talked of in order to ensure that the Republic and its people were prepared for the very worst.

Preparations and standard readiness procedures had already been in effect for some months, but that paled in comparison to the potential issues that not continuing to move things along could carry as well. Being unready and unsteady in this day and age was suicidal, to be blunt, and already their ambassadorial/military orbital station around Ishtar was being relayed info to pass onto their allies. They would have to coordinate future preparations and adjustments to the usual trade schedule to accommodate all of this, but it wasn't a big issue...at least yet. Full-on war would be another thing entirely if, or perhaps when, it came along.

"...Galina, how are preparations going for the operation?"

Director Marianne Sato sat there in her office, hands folded and elbows on her desk as she spoke to the soldier who stood on the other end of the comms. It was a secured and rather sophisticated communications link, one that only she and her protective unit were privy to and could tap into for communication back and forth. Its range and other specs remained...undisclosed, confidential even. Safe to say, however, it was crystal clear and could even stream video in real time between one location and another.

The Volyudki on the other end seemed to chuckle for a moment, before her voice rang once again over the comms channel.

"Da, preparations are goink veri smooth Director Sato," the soldier said, before pausing and clearning her throat. Was hard not to fall back on her accent here and there when she was relaxed, but even so she had pushed herself to speak more formally to put on the airs of a more proper leader, "The squad is ready to deploy and scout out the Saturnian border towards Jupiter. We'll be aboard one of the usual scouting carriers, so we should be invisible amidst the usual crew and personnel aboard. We will report back if anything suspicious comes up, however."

Whew.

"Noted. Continue the good work, but be cautious out in the field. If Europan or pirate ships intrude on our space, the Admiral should send the usual message and standard deterrence procedures. From there, if you feel any need to act or investigate I will trust in your judgement, Galina.

...Also, you might have left your shirt at my place last night."


A pause, and then a hearty laugh ringing out from the other end of the line.

"Hahaha!!! Keep it, dorogaya, may it keep you warm in these times-...

Oy, Kowalski, you keep laughing I wil toss your soggy ass out of the airlock!"


The Director could not help but chuckle in return. It was like a parent or an older sibling berating a small child. Except these children and parent were all deadly soldiers and members of one of the most highly elite Crack Squads in the League, implanted with top-end dark energy cybernetics and utilizing the best weaponry money could buy in League space. That was saying something.

Even with the squad seemingly in such good spirits, however, the truth of the matter was that Marianne hoped they would find nothing out there. Nothing but empty space and silent border. The only reason she'd sent them out in the first place was to give her personal account of the status of the Jupiter/Europa border from the Saturnian side. Something to placate her nightly concerns, if naught else, about the state of things closer to home right now.

For now, however, a large abandoned T-shirt back at her home and the reliability of the squad itself would have to suffice to soothe her nerves.

It was all she had right now anyways.
Sophia von Zeerover


And


Cthulhu-Chan





Someone tried to knife the prick of a girl from Beacon (in golden armor now), which led to said person being sent through...dang, even the pirate had to admit that was a nice blow. Not that the blasted Greater Horror in the room and someone else hadn't drawn attention first though. Then at least the one girl with the rifle had been chill with her answer. Perhaps the calmest thing that had gone down here, frankly speaking, or would be for the next few minutes. That and someone putting out her patron's fire. Whew. But between the prior purge order and everything else, the pirate's attention was pulled most by something else that rung in her ears.

“Sophia! Just leave!”


Wha-? Run away, after all of this?! Something was up, and if the one person she was at least most aligned to so far among her peers was going off to help then she was following. No more sitting around in the middle of some Horror's mess, no letting someone run off wounded, no more waiting around for someone to try to purge or kill her (again)...she was doing something dangit! Why did everyone else get to run around and do things, save the day, have friends and people to talk to...why...why did everyone just continue to leave her behind?!?! Why did that one girl want to kill her?! Would more of those memories she'd seen give her any answers about her own bloody past?! Did this world have it out to keep her blind?!?!

The pirate softly cursed under her breath, fists beginning to clench tightly as she began to run forward. Wings sprouted from her back, and once again she took to the air as she moved to follow Amaryllis through the hole the knight had made in the warehouse. The rest could kill each other off for all she cared, turn each other into bloody trinkets that got stuck on some macabre wall in some patron's mantle. She was going to do her best, even if it killed her to help someone! That was her job, right? She was a magical girl, defender of the weak and afflicted and a fighter for this blasted city!!!

Barely arriving on the other end of her ally's destination, however, the winged girl ever so barely arrived in time to see the mafioso from earlier being kneed and grabbed up by some shady-looking dastard. There was also Amaryllis, and that same white tiger, and even that Horror girl who'd helped in that other battle before and just had one arm now! Also a small girl, who seemed to cling to said Horror girl's leg. Then the mafioso seemed to shout aloud, the tiger leapt in for killing, and all hell broke loose with the animals otherwise in the room.

Kinda. Had she gotten all of that right? Not like she knew everything, but she knew the asshole of a fedora guy from earlier was associated with Amaryllis somehow. And Amaryllis was not a bad person. Therefore...blast it all. The pirate knew already what she would do as she extended her two hands.

A few small golden defensive shields would form out of thin air, guarding Mariette and Sammy from the front and above at least. Meanwhile, Focused Assault power surged extra mana into the Chain Arm as Sophia extended her other hand and shot out chains with an attacking fury as she tried to fire an attack deep enough to latch into and pull out Nuncio. Wasn't like she had time to do much but act right now. Could already hear her patron creaking furiously in her mind for this already, literally so, as the grand ship itself began to swiftly move over to Sophia's location with all the haste of a somewhat still pissed-off and frustrated patron who had just been set on fire and attacked by a veritable kraken not long ago.

"Give em' back ere', ya' feckin' bastard!"

Beyond this, however, Shane would find himself with a set of four large ghostly doubloons appearing in his hand. Each was etched with rather clear and legible markings, however, which read 'All-You-Can-Eat-Ghostly-Pancakes Tokens, only redeemable at the Flying Dutchman'. Were these a...reward for putting the fire out?

Cthulhu, in the meantime, seemed to still stand there and watch on as things continue to devolve before her very eyes. At least the main horror threat was out of the way, that much was the best thing about all of this. Even so, unless someone contracted her and asked for help she would not be able to take any more action than being the bystander she was. Even so, she let out a chuckle as Rachael noticed and then literally 'hammered' her potential assailant through the wall. The Ascendancy were kinda assholes, kinda necessary in some cases perhaps, but they did sure know how to fight at least.

However, a battlefield-wide voice would soon ring out in the heads of those around there...

'Just too make a weeensy tiiiiinsey advertisement, if aaaaaaanyone needs a new patron after all of this and likes saving humanity from this kinda stuff and meanie horrors...I am so totes avaaaaaaailable~! Have a cool underground pad and friends and everything, and this place for reals seems to need some serious help! So please come join Super Magical Party-Girl Cthulhu-can today~!'

Serenity Gates


Kill them, right after the purification of a monster queen and valiant efforts all around? That was a cold as a monster eating the bodies of the desecrated dead! Not only that, but the perpetrator had showed themselves for pity's sake! This was going all kinds of wrong, and nervous flashbacks to when she and Sophia had first woken up in that destroyed graveyard. No, not this again! She would not let this happen again and the pirate-...aaaaaand Sophia had run off after Amaryllis. Crap. This day was just not good, no good at all for the city or anyone here...

But more pressingly, she had to do her duty as a magical girl of Beacon right now in this other matter! She couldn't let herself fall victim to fear or trepidation...not again. Please no not again.

Channeling the vestiges of her fury, and finally having the true culprit at her fingertips, the maid magical girl attacked Eden with a flurry of blows. Duplicating daggers multiplied and rained out at Eden to try to cut off potentially dodging Alicia's blows, but also sought to fill the area with as many attacks as possible in rapid time. She even threw in small spurts of her magic with some of the thrown daggers, slowing some daggers down in time at varying speeds and creating a veritable wall of space-covering timed attacks. This tragedy would not be in vain. So many had-...no, she could think on her dead sisters and brothers later. She had to, or she couldn't handle doing this right now.

She had to fight.

Yinha Karathros





'You idiot!'

...Is what Yinha thought to herself rather than shout it aloud at the Lizardman, even as she watched him shove a sword deeper into himself and basically indulge in further self-harm before her very eyes. It was a choice she understood at least, not like he needed to be bleeding out right now while the weapons and arrows [u]sticking out of his body[/b] were keeping the wounds shut for the moment in some primitive, savage method. No, it wasn't like she felt the primal urge to slap the ever loving world out of Kaze. No. Totally not feeling the rage of a thousand suns at someone indulging in more damage and pain. Not that like prodded every nerve she had left to deal with all of this right now. Nope.

"Kaze is right, we need to keep moving... The rest of the army is out there, and only Miss Serafaye seems to be immune to their attacks somehow for now. Not that she might make the best 'battering ram', but...blast it all," The mage spoke aloud, biting her lower lip between brief pauses as she tried to keep her mouth shut from shouting at Kaze, her tone of voice low enough for the group to hear without shouting at least, "If we can sneak some more, perhaps we can at least try to get past some cracks in their defenses? Either that, or perhaps we could use summons from a couple of us to distract them. But we need to move regardless."

After today, she would need a nice hot cup of tea. If they were even remotely in a position for such by the end of all of this. It was the first thing she could think of while pushing in comforting thoughts to keep her cool.
