The quiet turning of the pages of a book and the sounds of the music emanating from her phone's earbuds were the only noises Ayami was aware of during her time waiting in the car. She found it much less of a hassle to ride on public transportation, though, insistent as her parents were on having someone drive her to the school instead; something about riding a bus or a train was considerably less motion sickness-inducing. Her home in Shinjuku would have been more useful if the school was within the prefecture, but complaining at this point was next to worthless. She had already made clear that she'd ride the bus over to her parents, but even so they still insisted on at least driving her to the airport...

Even if the subway was much more efficient. To give them credit, though, the lack of any major traffic jams en route made the trip less irritating (if not stalled by pedestrians as it would have been anyways).

As the car finally came to a stop, Ayami thanked the driver and placed a bookmark on the center of the page of the book she was on before clapping it shut and slipping it into her bag before exiting the vehicle. Walking around to grab her belongings from the trunk, the young woman nodded to the driver as she took the last of them out and closed the trunk, silently watching as he drove to... Wherever his next destination was.

With her bags gripped firmly in her hands, Ayami walked over to where all the other students were gathering, opting to remain silent as those around her continued to chatter amongst themselves. The heat was a bit of a nuisance, yes, but nothing too unbearable. She ignored the teacher who had been sent to pick them up for the most part, though; trying too hard to appeal and be 'intriguing' was, to her, quite a dull way of doing things.

When the students finally began to fill the buses, Ayami let out a sigh of relief, quiet as it was; it had taken far too long to handle such a thing, and she had honestly wondered for a while why they hadn't just sent them into the buses to begin with. It was a much better way of handling something like ferrying students off to the school, and since the administration was likely to just take attendance there, it would have been much faster to send buses off as they filled up rather than sending them all at once.

She had no room to criticize, though; maybe that was just how the school handled things. Maybe it was faster this way. Maybe it was because the drivers were probably hired for the job and only one knew the route by heart?

...All things considered, it was probably the last of that set. It wasn't as if she knew how schools operated that well, anyhow; far too tedious for her to entertain the though of even dealing with administrative issues.

Taking a seat near the front of the bus she was on (the back was far too unstable for her liking), the student-to-be quietly tucked her bags away and took out her book again, wishing to continue her read as the ride went along. If someone spoke to her, she would return in kind, but it seemed as if most everyone else was occupied on their own. No matter; reading alone was fine, too.
@Lmpkio: I don't mind. To be fair, Gunha will probably tank a few hits and maybe throw a punch or two back at most. He's stupid amounts of durable, after all. By that point, I assume the situation will be resolved anyhow.
The decision of the Captain to move out again after sending a messenger back to inform the capital of the situation was to be expected, all things considered. If they lingered as they were now, with no more information to pry from neither the living mercenaries nor the dead soldiers, then it would be nothing more than a waste of effort. With that in mind, Tiral folded the note back up and slipped tossed it into a bag after wrapping it in other, more disposable paper. It wouldn't do to have blood staining everything if he could help it, after all.

Following behind the rest of the knights, Tiral moved himself closer to the front of the squadron just in case anyone else was stupid enough to start a fight without trying to handle things peacefully.

Fittingly enough, though, there happened to be people en route to their next location that had no such qualms. But...

"More bandits again? Really?" Tiral asked, unamused at the situation as he looked at the scene unfolding in front of him. Their group likely had enough power with the knights as they were, but now that he was being told to charge, well...

"Rather than that, Captain, I would prefer to supply some rearguard support. I don't believe it to be all that necessary, though," he said, chanting quietly as a few icicles formed in the air behind him. "After all, sending the cavalry in to deal with the rearguard without flanking is a bit of a chore, but I have enough faith in the Knights to not worry about something as simple as roadside thieves."

With that said, Tiral looked around for any warier bandits and fired at those instead, rather than charging into the fray himself. When he ran out of icicles, he simply created more and continued to fire, taking care to handle anything out of range of those rushing into battle before anything else. Handling the rear last meant that they might escape, after all; that would be rather... Annoying.
It has been done! \o/

Reisen Udongein Inaba

Intersection of Districts 5, 6, and 12


Watching the madman graze past (or occasionally take straight to the face) all of the bullets that she was throwing out, Reisen had to at least give him some credit; taking a few danmaku shots to the body was one thing, but rushing straight into someone shooting the bullets was a wholly different level of brickheaded. Granted, she had seen a few cards where that was the optimal way of dealing with them (a stupid little ice fairy came to mind here), but the bullets were so dense at this distance that it'd be well near impossible to not take at least twenty to the face in a single burst.

She was understandably surprised, though, when that was what ended up happening, Watching someone take that many bullets to the face and not be stunned? That was sorta...

Well, granted, he was likely running off a mix of insanity and adrenaline, which explained a lot, but still. When the Lunarian noticed that he was raising his sword to cut her down, though, she noticed one very crucial detail.

He was looking into her eyes. Perfect timing.

Cancelling the spellcard and dispelling the aftereffects thereon, Reisen shot forward before shooting a quick laser at the lunatic's hands to disarm him before returning the gaze into his eyes. With her eyes once again shining, the rabbit used one hand to knock off whatever remained of the now-shattered mask before letting her ability do it's work. With the hand that was not punching, Reisen quickly grabbed the man's chin and forced him to keep looking into her eyes.

It probably wouldn't take long to work out the madness, now that she could see the frantic wavelengths bouncing around inside of that brain of his. The strength of his body was faltering, so once she forced his brainwaves to stop firing all over the place he'd probably be either too tired to continue fighting or out cold. Either worked, honestly.

"...There. Not too hard, now was it?"

Sogiita Gunha

District 10


With a final leap, Gunha jumped over the last of the houses between himself and his destination before landing in a dramatically superhero-esque fashion, with his fist firmly impacting the ground (and leaving a small hole in the process) as he slowly looked up.

"...Yeah, no, that sorta entrance feels... Well, it's gutsy, yeah, but it ain't me," he sighed, shaking his head as he got up and brushed his clothes off. When observed from up close, the crater was definitely a bit larger than what he had expected, but that could probably be blamed on perspective. Granted, he also didn't expect a woman-kaiju hybrid that looked a good few feet taller than him given what he had seen on the ground, but he could forgive that partially because of two reasons.

First: the human/kaiju hybrid seemed to be perfectly fine following the impact, which meant that, as he had expected, she had guts to spare.
Second: There didn't seem to be anyone injured by the impact. Whether or not that was intentional didn't matter; causing a mess like that and not having any casualties was impressive, to say the least. Guts: yes.

"Oi! You alright there? Looked like a pretty nasty fall you took there!" he called out, walking forward to get a closer look. Even if she lashed out, Gunha was confident he could take a few hits if it came down to it. A fight, though...?

Well, that would definitely be a tossup. Tokusatsu and kaiju went hand in hand, but this wasn't exactly a television show...

Reisen Udongein Inaba

Intersection of Districts 5, 6, and 12

Reisen paused her illusory assault as the madman pulled out a submachine gun and dispersed a good chunk of her clones, still fumbling a little as she grasped for whatever it was she was looking for. The bullets did little to faze him, it seemed... Which was to be expected, to be quite honest; even if they were only meant to damage, there was only so much she could do to a madman who had (in all likelihood) lost all sense of the word 'pain'. What confused her was the anachronism of the weapons that he held; a fantasy blade, a submachine gun, and now...

A magic book? What kind of nonsense--?!

"You're kidding..." the rabbit said through gritted teeth as she redirected her pistol at the disc of water rushing at her face and fired towards that instead. The magic collided with her attack and the two cancelled each other out, which Reisen was quite thankful for. But where was the--

"Oh! Geez, I'm such an idiot!"

She had been searching the wrong half of her suit this entire time. Of course.

Now fishing through the CORRECT location, Reisen pulled out a single card, which was now glimmering an eerie red as it shone in the sunlight. The color of the Lunarian's eyes, too, began to glow as she remained flying above head. After firing a beam of energy from her eyes to buy her a few moments, Reisen took a deep breath and shouted.

"'Illusion Wave "Red-Eyed Hypnosis'!"

Calling out the name of her attack, the card in Reisen's hand glowed brighter before disappearing. Immediately after, the rabbit shot a giant ring of bullets from her position before a giant pair of red eyes (an image of her own) appeared behind herself as an illusion, the initial ring of bullets seemingly phasing out of existence and splitting into two before the illusory eyes disappeared. She then proceeded to fire five more rings before doing the same with them, repeating the latter sequence over and over as bullets seemed to flood the skies, constantly distorting and multiplying even further every few seconds.

"Maybe if this knocks him out I can inject some sanity back into that head of his and figure out what the heck's going on..."

Sogiita Gunha

District 10

The sight of something plummeting through the sky caught Gunha's eyes as he continued to walk down the street, completely oblivious to the people quietly tailing him from a distance and murmuring about what he had just done (and, by extent, what sleeping bear he had poked by doing that). The impact of said something making as much of a shockwave as it did, though, caused pretty much everyone following behind him to run for the hills, almost as if an apocalypse was on the horizon.

Well, the esper couldn't really blame them for that, but as a heavy advocate for guts it was only natural to check out what had caused such an earthquake. Taking a deep breath and squatting a few times to warm up his legs, Gunha took a deep breath and launched himself into the sky to see what the cause of it all was.

His surprise when he saw the decent-szed crater in the ground with a rather large person lying in the middle of it was moderate enough, but was gone by the time he fell back down to the ground. Whoever it was, they seemed wounded, which warranted some degree of closer inspection. But by now, he had no room for the leisurely pace he was walking at; now, he was off running, jumping over houses as if they were no more than hurdles on a track.

"This is definitely something that I can't afford to overlook! Gotta have guts to survive a dive like that!"

@Lmpkio
@Kafka Komedy: I had actually said 5 or 6 waaaay back when, but I guess the three of those are close enough that we could say we're at the intersection of the three lol.
Gunha's in 10, and given what's been said in Astro's, I assume Dante's in... Well, somewhere in 23, I guess?

@AstroLu: Correct me if I'm wrong here.

But if this is the case, then they're both likely within walking distance if you drop Gojira somewhere in between.
@Lmpkio: Given the current location of everyone, maybe you could drop her near Gunha instead. He's also closer to Astro's character, if what I can tell from the description of the background is correct. It also doesn't rip the spotlight away by suddenly DRAMATIC DROP-IN.
