OOC: Ryder n' May! (Combat Roll for Tsuruko 2d6 and got 11)

IC:

Rei smiled quickly at Minako, and dasked off to where Motoko was slipping inside the shrine house. "Call if you need us!" She instructed the blonde, her dark hair streaming out behind her as she runs to the house.

In front of her, Minako noticed the three facing off against Excel and Hyatt have turned toward her...this is probably because Tsuruko is lunging at Excel, her sword drawn...

***

Tsuruko moved forward with speed that even shocked herself, much less her target. Excel dropped Hyatt with a startled screech, tripping over herself as she fell backward, the arcing sword depriving her of a goodly portion of her bangs, the hair fluttering to the ground as Excel frantically scurried out of the way. "Another enemy of the glorious aims of ACROSS!" She bellowed, digging into her jacket. "Prepare to be-Yikes!" She yelped, realizing the grenade she'd retrieved was without a pin, and flinging it away, in the general direction of both Minako, and the Shrine torii...

Asrana

Tsuruko ignored the grenade as it was tossed away. Pulling through on the slash, she brought her katana around her body, moving forward in time with a downward diagonal slash towards Excel's left shoulder, aiming for her right hip...

Panic... That's what Ryder would usually do in this situation.  A grenade about to blow her to kingdom come usually causes panic.  Panic and an urge to run the hell away.

But, something held her back... Maybe it was the innocent torii... Maybe it was the thought that where she's in has value in a spiritual sense.

Actually, it was the feeling of being a Senshi within her... So, with that feeling, Ryder leaped into the air and attempted to boot the grenade away from herself, and her friends.

Can't miss... can't miss... 4 years of soccer practice... can't miss...
What sort of madness will I create today?"

OOC: Ryder 'n May!  Ryder combat roll: 2d6 -> 4

IC:

With a somewhat ungainly leap into the air, Minako's kick connected sharply with the grenade. While the contact reminded her that yes, grenades WERE quite hard in their pre-boom state, she managed a good, hard kick...in the direction of the house Rei and Motoko had entered.

She stumbles as she landed, her toe throbbing with pain, just in time to hear a female voice behind her. "Shun, stop staring!"

As she stumbled, the female voice behind her caused Ryder to trip and fall a bit...

Ugh... That was stupid... Forgot that I'm not great in heels...

Ryder flipped over, rubbing her foot, and screamed as loud as she could, "REI!!!! MOTOKO!!! WATCH OUT!!!!"

OOC: Ryder n' May! May's combat roll: 2d6 = 4

IC:

Tsuruko's eyes narrowed, and her sword whipped around in a gleaming arc, and this time, Excel wasn't so lucky. in one swift arc, Tsuruko's sword neatly bisected the shorter woman, and Excel toppled slowly to the ground, eliciting a gasp from the three onlookers. Her legs followed shortly thereafter.

No one had time to say anything about it, though, as as soon as the action was finished, another loud explosion rocked the shrine, the grenade ripping away a portion of the roof, and tile fragments showered the courtyard...

The two schoolchildren who had just entered through the Torii took cover behind it, staring at the scene in amazement. "Invaders...?" the girl whispered uncertainly.

"Or worse!" the boy responded. "It's a good thing we brought it...these people will be hard to stop..."

Carthrat

Ratsuko (now where did *that* name come from..) continues sneaking after the dynamic duo, attempting to keep out of sight,.

Explosion noises coming from somewhere are doing a wonderful job of frazzling her nerves, though, causing her to ready her pistol in apprehensive anticipation..

Bean Bandit

OOC: Carthrat!

IC:

Apparently now, Ritsuko's targets had halted, and were taking shelter behind the thick pillars of the torii, apparently shocked by whatever had happened...

Carthrat

Ritsuko moves as close as she can to the girl with the bow, and levels her gun at the womans head.

"Excuse my caution," she whispers, keeping emotion out her voice as much as possible. "Just what brings you two to this place?"

"OH MY GOD!!! REI!!!" Ryder screamed as she stumbled to her feet and ran off towards the wreckage...

"REI! SPEAK TO ME!  CAN YOU HEAR ME!" she shouted as she hobbled as close as she could.

OOC: Ryder n' May!

There was a slight crackle, and then Minako could sense, rather than see a flare of magical energy, then a deeper, darker one, and Rei and Motoko were flung bodily from the wreckage.

Motoko seemed to reorient herself in mid flight, and landed on her feet, though sliding backward unsteadily until she finally came to a stop. Rei landed a little rougher, being tossed several feet before slowly pulling herself up.

The wreckage slid slowly away in a pile, and from the broken, tattered house, a miko emerged. She did in fact look a great deal like Rei and Motoko, with long ebony hair done up in a ponytail at the nape of her neck. However, this one carred a bow and quiver, and Rei, Minako, Motoko, and even Tsuruko, from where she stood over Excel's rapidly cooling body could sense dark power...

OOC: Carthrat!

IC:

The boy instantly wheeled around at the sound of Ritsuko's voice, and glared at her. "Put that down..." he warns, and Ritsuko can see a peculiar energy reaction beginning in his eyes. Two circles, one inside the other begin spining slowly, superimposed on his irises. "You invader sympathizers are all alike..." he growled.

The girl seemed alarmed at that, but not for herself. "Shun, wait! She doesn't know what's going on..."

Carthrat

Huh. I wonder what he can do.. not that I want to find out.

"Stop it," says Carthrat, flatly. "Invaders, you say? I have no wish to impede any working towards the defence of this city. I simple need to be sure.

Plainly, I would rather not harm you. There are enough enemies out there to deal with before turning on those who might be allies."

RyderHakubi

Ryder, just feeling the waves of dark power flowing off of the miko, summed up her feelings on this situation with a simple statement, in English...

"Oh Fuck"

She quickly shifted into as much of a defensive battle stance as she knew...
