Meia

[Bean Bandit]

As Meia concentrated, she could 'feel' a connection, or at least part of one, waiting to be used...alongside another, already active.

She suddenly got a mental image of plugging herself into the partial connection...

[Rezantis]

...which she then attempted to do.  Metaphorically speaking.  Kinda.  Ugh.  This was weird, and confusing, and agg-dammit, CONCENTRATE.

[Bean Bandit]

Meia reached out to the connection...which, in turn, pulsed...and reached back.

She got a mental impression of hands intertwining...and suddenly, her awareness seemed to expand, so that she could nearly 'feel' Vandread Meia around her...and a limited feeling of exchange and awareness of her partner...

[Rezantis]

Meia's eyes widened as 'her' senses... expanded.

"This... is..."

Taking a deep breath, tried to orientate herself properly...

"Let's go?"

[Bean Bandit]

There was a distant throb...a rush of power...and Vandread Meia threw back it's head in a silent roar, then bowed it and raced for the enemy, wings spread...

"All right! Let's kick some ass!" Hibiki cheered.

[Rezantis]

Meia's face curled up slightly, and she grinned.

OOC:  So, I'm paying attention, what do I see?  ^^

[Bean Bandit]

The spined sphere was off to one side, firing spines at Dita's dread, who was dodging frantically as they closed the distance.

As Dita fought to stay intact, a dread Meia's mind instantly labelled 'Barnette' fired repeatedly at the enemy, trying to shake it loose from Dita.

Dita, meanwhile was dodging and weaving frenetically, her erratic flying bringing her ever closer to the giant black hole that the enemies has emerged from...

[Rezantis]

Shit.  This won't be good!

Meia called up a comm-window to Dita's dread..

"Dita!  Watch where you're flying, I think it's trying to herd you!"

[Bean Bandit]

Dita looked to the side and gasped. "Eek!"
An evasion manuever was begun, but aborted by another brace of spine-missiles.

Through the dread, Meia could feel Hibiki's sudden surge of anger, slightly before he spoke.

"Hey! Pick on someone your own size, you big bully!" The dark haired boy raged.

And the Vandread Meia accelerated dramatically....

[Bean Bandit]

Vandread Meia dove at the spined ball, rocketing forward at speeds nothing short of breathtaking and interposing itself between the spined enemy and Dita's dread.

The wings flapped once, tauntingly as Hibiki attemted to distract the enemy from Dita, who had taken several glancing shots, and it showed in the scours over her beat up looking fighter....

[Rezantis]

Meia called the comm window up again, not moving her eyes away from the spined ball...

"Dita, get back towards the Nirvana.  We'll cover you."

[Bean Bandit]

Dita nodded sharply, her blue eyes wide. "Right!"

On the tactical display, Dita's dread veered off, heading back to the Nirvana. A little further away, the dread icon labeled 'Barnette' was looping around for another pass...

[Rezantis]

Vandread Meia continued to stare down the spined ball, waiting for it to make it's move...

[Bean Bandit]

After hesitating a moment, the spined ball began rotating slightly. Two groups of spines, on aimed in the general direction of Barnette, the other at Dita's retreating dread.

The spines straighted in preparation to be fired....

[Rezantis]

Meia's eyes narrowed, and her gut reaction was to try sending the Vandread hurtling at the ball at maximum speed...

OOC:  Note, of course, that I don't know Hibiki's reaction, but if they match then that's what you get.  XD
