Wings of Wonder: Finale


THE DAYS have been long and tiring, always a job to be done. If it hasn't been taking out the birds that continued to come over the days, it's been fixing and repair; if it hasn't been that, it's been working with the crystals, offering energies, searching for a way to make powers work on a world that refuses them.

The Voidtreckers know the sali's plan, and have been working with them to achieve it, as well as to add their own ideas. Both groups are to make a team to head to the West Island where the birds gather their numbers, singing a song that calls more to them. Taking an airship and craft carriers, they will blow at the Red Storm being generated by the birds, and then take out their numbers before it can be amassed to any dangerous amounts.

And for the Voidtreckers not going West, they're asked to go South. The East will be protected by the sali and the Forever Ones there, and Enshala will need any extra aid in taking out the birds by disorienting them, making them easier pickings for both sali and Voidtreckers.

Finally, 11 Nebula arrives. People who wish to risk going to the heart of the problem are to meet either to the North, or at the Centre island. Hemla is coming with them, along with the Shrinlo, to closely connect the powers of the Forever Ones in the battle to come.

Over the SCAs, a call goes out - and a voice comes through: young, perhaps around 20s in terms of human age, androgynous in tone. Small yet driven, clear to any who hears them:

"Help from skies far, this is Hemla. I thank you deeply for joining us. For coming to help, for working with us despite the struggles it has taken, the pain.

I want to speak to many of you so much, but now is not the time. Through the tools you call S-C-As, we Forevers will sync with its energies and meld them to ours. We will trick the world into seeing your powers as ours. There will be limitations, so be safe - use the crystals made by our crafters and yours too. Speak to each other, learn how they work. The sali - and your people who helped - know.

I...will be doing my best to protect those who go West. Everyone I have spoken to, you are in my thoughts. Reach for me in your minds if you need my strength, and I will do my best.

Thank you... thank you."

With those words, there is some time before everything is set into motion. Until finally, the airship rises and starts its travel to the West Island. Until finally, both Voidtreckers South and West-bound feel their body lighten, the first proper relief they've had for days. As the Southern skies start to show approaching wings from a distance waning...

WINGS OF WONDER: FINALE


A TL;DR notes version of event/prompts: (click to show)

EVENT BASICS:
    ~ Voidtreckers can chose to go to the West Island with the Airship to disrupt the Red Storm or to go to the South to help protect Enshala and the Sali who cannot fight.
    ~ The West Island prompts are for those on the air ship and those on the ground. These are both fights and there are prompts for play-your-own-monster fights as well as the boss battle.
    ~ For the West Boss Battle characters can be on the ship or on the ground- the bird will sweep between but for mod sanity please make it clear where your character is!
    ~ In the South there are prompts for general bird fights (play your own monsters) as well as the option to be helping out near the Forever One for those who are more healer, support, non combatant characters.
    ~ The boss battle here will be out in the plains.


TO THE WEST
The sound of music sings inside the airship, powering its speed, and winds that repel the Red Storm. It resonates with the surrounding air, offering protection to the smaller crafts following at the sides. "It is time!" A sali declares, and two come to stand by what looks like a mix of a megaphone-cannon, pointed out from the front. Sali and Voidtreckers have smaller versions, and are directed to prepare their places - take to the sides of the ship, be ready for combat.

Already the birds are coming for them, covered in red, but their united power pushes them away. The White Forest is under them, and the cannon-phone starts powering. Another signal is given as a hand is raised, counting down from three. The instruction is simple: At zero, shout.

And indeed, when the fist is made, a great chorus of screams join, and the weapon at the front glows, and blasts a magnificent whirlwind of air that encompasses the mountain the birds have been nesting at. Many are blown away, every which where. The Red Storm thinning out, the airship flying close to the mountain peak, usually a crater.

Except a bird emerges with large red wings and rocks the ship as it ascends from their roosting spot, filling the air with its shrieks and presence.

The fight begins.

ATTACK FROM DECK. Some of the Sali are on the deck, armed with their blowhorns and any voidtreckers who feel they would be most use fighting the birds at range can join them in the skies. Those with magic, music, bows or guns join forces with the Sali to fight off the swarms of birds.

GROUNDED. Not all the fighting is in the air. The blast from the air ship has sent many of the birds tumbling to the ground where more Sali and those Voidtreckers whose fighting skills are best served when on solid ground are waiting for them.

The birds try and recover, but most remain at least low to the ground, attacking those they see.

KING OF THE AIR. Through the chaos of snow, red mist and birds comes a beating of wings as another threat appears.



TO THE SOUTH

Those that do not go West will be asked to go South, to defend island and the Sali who are too old or too young to fight..

PAINT IT RED. The Sali have an area for those who cannot fight, protected as best as it can be by geography and Enshala's power. However with the birds swarming everywhere there is need of defenders to make sure that it remains a safe space.

Though before it seemed that certain birds had flocked to certain islands now the swarms were more varied, any of the different kinds of birds; swift wings, red wings and steel wings all dive down to attack.

SENDING HOPE. Of course the Forever Ones hold the key to all of this, helping the Voidtreckers be able to use their power better than before, helping hold back the birds from strategic places and creating a web of power across the islands that connects all the Sali and their allies in the Voidtreckers.

Enshala welcomes any who needs to rest and of course anyone who wishes to help by lending energy, or anything else they feel they can contribute in a spiritual sense. Her area is one of peace and rest.

It is also where those Sali who cannot fight are sheltering and though they are resilient, those who can help with food or persuading small Sali that they cannot fight birds, is also a task worth doing.

DIVEBOMB. Despite the attempts at shielding the area a swarm of birds has broken through to where the herds of woolies and headbutters are. Any Voidtreckers who can be spared to fight are asked to assist fighting the birds off. They arrive to scenes of chaos.

OOC NOTES

NOTES: OOC info is here, info about powers/magic here. Ask questions here, submit shenanigans here, submit rewards here.

ABOUT POWERS: Powers are available around 40-50% percent. People can teleport easier if they stick around the area, but will still need to watch how often they do it. Manipulating the environment is still greatly difficult (the air, plants, gravity) etc, but anything that relies on one's own inner power (magic, chi/ki/qi) works easier.

ENERGY/ETC BEINGS: No longer feeling so much a drain. Will be able to run around and fight without being completely drained.

ABOUT USING STONES/SALI WEAPONS: During the battles, the Voidtreckers will be able to tap into some special weapons and elemental stones. These are:
    BLOWHORN: Weapon. Literally a horn for blowing in, this will create a blow of air that can take down whatever is immediately in front of the user. Doesn't have a long range, depends on the strength of your blow, but working with others with a blowhorn will make the attack stronger.

    SLINGSHOTS, BOW AND ARROWS: Weapons. Basically made than anything special. Those who have had good relations with some sali will be granted metal-tipped, or power stone-tipped (these are rarer), which will explode inside their target.

    MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS: Mostly reed woodwind instruments (alboka and taepyeongso), but they also have a type of erhu and a banjo. Some tune must be made with these, and if so, the music playing will startle the birds, be able to sometimes stop their attacks. They can bolster other's attacks so long as the pair work in unison. Bard type. Continously playing will exhaust the individual.

    AIRNADO: Air stone. You toss it out and will it to go off through desire. It creates a spherical whirlwind wherever it's activated.

    FLASH BANG: Fire stone. Small, but when activated (same as above) it will create a strong flash. Do not look directly at.

    Note: Once the fighting is over, none of the crystals/anything crystal-powered will work.

Between Elidibus' attacks and Kiyoiri's own defences they manage to deny a bird its dinner. Two of the steel wings fly towards them though, throwing dagger like feathers towards them both. A third steel wing has remained near Lan Wangji and is caught in its own feathers as the cultivator sent them shooting right back at the birds, at least those that hadn't been destroyed by Goku. The bird plummets to to the floor. A fire wing flings itself at Goku feathers aflame, a ball of searing heat.

The bird that Xue Yang cut flails, still grabbing at Little One but also batting out at Xue Yang as the damage to its wing sends it tumbling into free fall. Ryu blasts any of the other birds that were coming in to attack Xue Yang and for a moment that portion of the deck at least is quiet.

One of the birds attacking Lan Jingyi is taken out by Wei Wuxian and the other is quickly dispatched by Lan Jingyi's tail. A swiftwing flies at Wei Wuxian and Jake now, straight and true, fighting against the power of the song. Not quite reaching him just yet. Some of the smaller birds start darting at Jingyi trying to peck at those scales.

Having small birds launch themselves at his scaled body is a new experience, and Jingyi ends up barrel rolling to break up some of the attack—his scales smooth enough the birds are struggling to find purchase, and go rather comically sliding and bouncing off until they find something like his mane for better purchase.

His talons form another seal while this time, he waits to release it before he holds his tail out to the side, away from the airship, wondering if it'll keep working as a lure before he releases his next wind attack. It's like fishing, only while flying, and for birds!

A mental nod of satisfaction when Jingyi manages the other bird, and Wei Wuxian's focus returns to the playing to help as a whole; he narrows his eyes at the bird set on fighting against the song's influence.

He kneels after he sends out another burst of sound to disrupt that particular bird's flight further, more knocking it sideways to be dealt with by anyone else than taking it down. Then he braces himself, continuing to play as he has been, sometimes even combining his song with the one Jake was playing and inventing some very odd lyrics for.

Words may be something he often uses, but he's no stranger to combat, much less against multiple enemies. Elidibus stands firm, using strikes of sword and parry of shield with efficient skill to parry the worst of the barrage of steel feathers.

The worst, but not all of the effective. Kiyoiri would have been his priority in the moment and making sure whatever got through was not going to incapacitate him. Several fine lines score wounds across face and body; two steel feathers dig into leg and shoulder. It won't take him down and the defensive protections aid in lessening the impact, but the lack of armor is going to be a problem if this keeps up.

The Ascian grasps the feather stuck in his shoulder and pulls it out, casting it to the ground before bracing the shield and preparing his counterstrike.

With a blade charged by aether, he strikes to grab the trio of birds' attentions- swift and two steel- with what might be viewed as 'flashy' to some. Bright with the shock of the energy empowering the blade, a near-visible disc seems to cut through the air around Elidibus as he performs a spiraling cut. X crossed patterns follow, bursting a very short distance almost as soon as they're drawn into the air and looking to, if not immediately cut down the birds in his range, then do significant damage.

Though he holds his ground, beads of sweat form on his brow. Holding back, keeping everything in moderation... It's all well and good. But while the world no longer exhausts the ancient being simply because he exists, it doesn't mean he's recovered completely from the earlier strains and efforts.

Kiyoiri is small, and Elidibus an effective shield- but she grimaces all the same. She cannot afford to tell Takechirou to pull back- no, right now he is very much keeping that Massive fire bird busy.

(Maybe Ayumi will see them. Maybe not. But-)

"...I am going to get your shoulder to at least clot," she insists as Elidibus handles the birds. She has the decency to wait until there is a bit of quiet from the attackers. "...But I need to touch it."

No bleeding out on the field, please!!

With how much this world still hinders her magic, Ayumi has spent the past several moments recovering from that Projection of Caladbolg while the Mini-Nobus huddle around her, desperately firing shells at the remaining attacking birds to fend them off while she rests.

But now she's ready to plunge into the fight again.

Ayumi raises both of her guns, Reinforcing her arms to once again steady her aim, and focuses all of her mana into one eye while she closes the other, sharpening her focus.

Find the weak points. Find the patterns. Search, search, search... The Mystic Eye of Focus highlights her targets, and Ayumi's work begins.

As much as Nobu was an advocate for overwhelming firepower, when she'd been teaching Ayumi how to shoot, she'd been well aware of her extremely human limitations. So she imparted a straightforward philosophy, obvious, really, but drilled into her skull over and over again: don't waste ammo. So Ayumi keeps her breathing steady, refusing to shoot until she sees the perfect opening, then firing the nanosecond it comes to pass. No wild flurries of bullets, no sweeping wall of rifles. Just two guns firing slowly, carefully, aiming to take down one bird with each shot into the perfect opening... which her Eye is all too happy to provide.

That is, until she sees the king of the air menacing Ki-chan and Elidibus. Then all that goes out the window.

Ayumi forces all of the mana out of herself, manifesting two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two, more and more and more and more rifles in the air around her, each in the style of Oda Nobunaga's Noble Phantasm. It's just a weak imitation. A fake.

But with that many shots, it should be enough to at least grab the monster's attention. And Ayumi, frankly, does not give herself enough credit for her craftsmanship.

"Three Line Formation," she half-whispers to herself, knees buckling under the pressure of that many Projections, before the line of rifles all fire lasers down on the King of the Air, carefully aimed to avoid Kiyoiri and Elidibus but not much else.

Then she collapses, rendered completely vulnerable to the attacking birds. Yeah she's... going to need to take a breather after that one.

Xue Yang doesn't want quiet. He was successful against the bird that tried to take him out so now it is time for some new prey. His eyes look towards the next big target. Even if his attack is more a way to bring them closer to himself versus actually hurting them, it is still effective. Get them close enough to be able to dispatch them the way he prefers. Sword into flesh.

So he puts his aim towards the next prey and sends another set of electrical strikes it's way. He might as well try to help out his senior. So he sends that attack towards the Swiftwing that seems to be aiming for Wei Wuxian.

"Oh my god, get away! No one likes you!"

Jake is slightly too panicked by the attempted divebomb to sing. No weapon! And he obviously can't punch a bird. What on earth is a defenseless singing jester to do?

Scream, of course. He lets out a single scream as he plays as loudly as he can, discordant notes rising faster and faster. And if that fails, Plan B is trying to catch a bird with a banjo.

Where Lan Wangji dodged, Lea caught his chakrams when they headed back his way, and held them up like a shield, which worked surprisingly well, though bracing against the multiple impacts was difficult. Shedding the last of the steel feathers from his chakrams. Opting to keep one in hand for blocking and striking at any birds that dive too close, he sent the second one spinning skyward again, this time aiming at the rest of the smaller birds that were harassing Jingyi.

"Try and chase some of the fire ones my way!", he called out to anyone in earshot. "I can't be hurt by fire, so I might as well be a distraction!"

Talons catch into her hoodie, scraping against her skin causing pain. THe bird is too close to shoot and she needs to drop it, to grab her knife.

Xue Yang's sword cut the bird and it fell sideways, still fighting even as it fell and dragging her with it. She attacked the feet with her knife but as the edge of the ship got close she attacked her hoodie instead, the bird tumbled with strands of red fabric, but no Buttercup.

She scrambled back from the edge, plunging into the emptiness, that fear can be dealt with later, she doesn't have time right now.

Jingyi's bird fishing trap seems to work as more of the small birds attack his tail, trying to find purchase on those scales.

The bird heading for Wei Wuxian and Jake is sent off course first by Wei Wuxian's prompting and then by Jake's scream and finished off by Xue Yang's lightning strike. Jake's scream sends most the birds in the area scattering, which is useful for Ayumi as it means she can concentrate on her own attack.

She is aiming for the big fire bird, still tangling with the dinosaur and getting close to Elidibus and Kiyoiri. There's an explosion of energy, blasting down from the air ship towards the grown. Her two friends are untouched by it but the birds menacing them are very much not so. Goku, Lea and Lan Wangji as well as anyone else on the ground may wish to scatter, lest they be caught in that blast.

But once the smoke clears it at least seems most the smaller birds down here are dead, giving them a reprieve to regroup.

The large bird though bursts upwards, out of the blast of energy. It is clearly injured from the blast and its prior altercation with a dinosaur. It launches itself at the airship, to where that blast came from, towards Ayumi who has slumped down in exhaustion.

Recovering from the scream a red wing has launched itself towards Xue Yang and another swiftwing tries to grab Little One's leg to pull her off the side.

Goku had finally put out the fire when he caught notice of the burst of energy heading towards them. "Uh-oh. That's too much!"

With that, he flew down, intending on scooping up Lea and Lan Wangji and getting them to safety. "Sorry, guys, don't need any pointless injuries!"

Says the guy with a burnt butt.

Fear can't reach her in the emptiness, she twists as talons cut into her leg and slashes out with her blade towards the bird that is trying to drag her over the edge.

Wrestling with a bird isn't exactly something she's trained in but she will fight tooth and nail to stop herself from being picked up and dragged over the edge of this ship.

Kiyoiri's offer to stave off the effects of the injuries is welcome. It would give Elidibus that much more time to focus on finishing off the trio of birds before he saw to the actual healing himself.

The most aggressive of the trio of enemies is the recipient of a practiced trust not of sword but shield, temporarily stunning it and giving just a few second's respite while the other two jockey for a new position on the Ascian. He uses the reprieve to yank out the feather in his leg and cast it aside, as well as calling Kiyoiri forward. "Now. I will not let them attack you."

He sees true to that promise, letting sword point make the birds remember there's a threat before trying to go for dinner plans with the young girl. One of the beasts may even be downed in the process; his strength and skill is considerable even at half power.

Aether... it's not just energy. It's the fundamental building block of all things. Still 'energy' if you will but being aware of it shifts can give considerable forewarning; even moreso than his other native abilities. This is a relevant fact when Ayumi begins building her Three Line Formation. The Ascian glances up sharply. Whether it can be seen yet from a ground position is irrelevant.

Kiyoiri might have started to retreat back to a better position by this time. Elidibus would reach for her, seeking to grasp her arm or shoulder and stay her motion. "Do not move." He knows where they are is perfectly safe. His shield may be raised to prevent a stray attack from the birds or any shrapnel, but he isn't stepping away from his current spot.

But then, there's Takechirou, whom he realizes is not so lucky.

Aether is drawn around him, blueish energy appearing at his feet and spreading about his form until it forms a crystaline barrier. Though it's still present and hums with power, it fades from visible sight. Yet he's not finished; toward the dinosaur streams more power, wreathing around the beast in its struggle; the attacks and strikes from the bird and what's incoming; all the damage will be transferred to Elidibus in one package, and dispersed safely.

Though the perfect defense does not fail, the Ascian's stance does, as the vessel can no longer be forced to stand. It is just as well the birds are wiped from the map by Ayumi's onslaught, for it only by driving the tip of his blade into the ground and using it as a brace that Elidibus can remain kneeling as the crippling exhaustion rolls over him.

"I was.... not expecting such backlash."

Just as quickly as she finds time to help Elidibus, and more trouble comes for them once again. Never a dull moment, and truthfully not unexpected...but a little annoying. Just a little.

(Annoyance and fear blend together with ease; the pattern of the battlefield is familiar, but never familiar enough to banish the latter- and yet, the former rises as a way to cope.)

"Alright. That should-"

More birds come toward them- but in addition, there come bullets. They avoid the two with an ease Kiyoiri is familiar with- the sort of ease she normally sees from one alone, streaks of light heralding their shot behind them. Elidibus cuts through the closest of the birds as they move, but the bullets from afar go for the largest of the beasts...

As well as Takechirou. "Takechirou! Down!" she shouts out while rooting herself to the spot, and while the beast does so, the hailstorm still strikes. Strikes, but thanks to Elidibus, strikes 'someone else'.

With a choke, she looks to the Ascian before her.

They need to move quickly. "TAKECHIROU, MOVE!" she orders- hand glowing as the second of three spells shines. The chances of the dinosaur escaping such a blow unscathed are slim; and at this point with the way that bird is moving, it's either they take it down, or face serious consequences. "Ghk- E...Elidibus..." They cannot do this forever. So-

Despite not knowing What will happen-

"TAKECHIROU, NOBLE PHANTASM, NOW!"

Takechirou charges, and the spell gleams as its power fades from her hand. Somewhat guiltily perhaps, Kiyoiri opens her medical pack to do what she can for Elidibus until her magic isn't occupied for it. (At the least she has...chocolate? Hm...)

[[OOC - For the Mod's reference, since I know that FGO can be confusing at the best of times; the dinosaur is charging, wailing on the target, and swapping to the humanoid/sword-bearing (and frankly two feet smaller) version to then hack and slash with a sword. The video covers the same animation from all three stages, so only the first 16 seconds are really needed.]]

Lea had also caught notice of the blast of energy and had already started running, catching his returning chakram on the fly. And not a moment too soon, as it turned out, because almost immediately after, he was unceremoniously lifted off his feet and carried up and away by Goku.

"Whoa!", he shouted He was too surprised to struggle much, especially since he was being taken in the general direction he'd wanted to go anyway. He soon realized who had grabbed him though and flashed him as much of a smile as the angle allowed. "Well that's one way to do it. Thanks for the lift!"

Once the energy burst had passed though, he was eager to get back in the fight. "Just put me down anywhere," he said. "There's still some birds that need plucking."

"Keep shouting!" Wei Wuxian calls out to Jake, while he darts toward Buttercup, for all intents and purposes shoving his flute into his front so he can reach out and, well.

Snap the swiftwing's neck. When one's randomly gone around catching birds barehanded before, one has some special skillsets, every so often.

Jingyi's tail for reasons he'll whine about later is turning into a festival of scrabbling talons and birds getting whipped back out of it while supremely dedicated to latching on. A few get holds in his fur, though the speed of his whipping tail when he feels their talons is not particularly kind to the birds. Perhaps even deadly, though his aim in this is simply shaking them off as fast as possible. He notably is not trying to engage in physical fights, despite being a flying body in the air.

Which is why, seeing the immense bird re-emerge from the massive attack unleashed downward from the airship, while he dives to confront, what he does not do is physically throw himself at the other creature: he instead forms another seal with his talons and releases a compressed, sharp blade of air down at the joint of a wing to the body, and he shrieks.

... To see if it has an effect. Also partly because he felt like it.

Xue Yang is closest to Little One and so he is instantly reaches out to try and help her back onto the correct side of the ship. But one hand is all he can offer as assistance as that Redwing starts coming at them.

"Tck...Annoying." At least he is used to having to fight with both hands now since he has put the effort into learning the double blade. So with one hand occupied by Little one, who also thankfully as Wei Wuxian there to aid with the bird issue. While the other hand sends a sword blast of water in the direction of the Red Wing. If nothing else maybe it will give him enough time to get her onboard and all of them away.

He knew the blast was coming but that didn't mean he had enough time to react to that and everything going on around him. Luckily he didn't have to as someone took the initiative to pull him away from the blast zone.

He would typically take offense to suddenly being picked up but for now he will have to endure. "Thank you." At least he can show some appreciation to the one who has saved him. At least it seems the smaller birds have been neutralized for now.

On the ground all is calm it seems, with Kiyoiri and Elidibus taking a moment to heal and Goku, Lan Wangji and Lea safely out of the blast zone.

Another moment. And another. It doesn't seem as if there are any more of the smaller birds down here. The large bird is in the air... For now.

On the ship Little One is successfully pulled back from the brink by the joint efforts of Xue Yang and Wei Wuxian who successfully snaps the birds neck, sending it floating down to the ground. The red wing is blasted back by the water and... slightly bedraggled tries to fly at the three of them all with an indignant squawk.

Jingyi shakes off many of the birds, though they are persistent. The large fire bird is on a impact course with the ship when his seal hits it and it is blasted downwards. It screeches angrily as it dive bombs.

"I do be thanking you." Her voice is eerily calm, no emotion to it at all. The emptiness has no space for emotion. Which is a good thing right now. She's grateful for the save, though very embarassed to be rescued by Xue Yang of all people.

He better not gloat later. For now there's a bird heading for them again. Her guns are farther back, dropped in her attempt not to be taken as a bird snack. Her knife is not so useful, she doesn't want that bird in grabbing range.

So she focuses, on the weird weapon in her head. She's mostly come to terms with her stupidity and if she has a weird soul reading weapon in her head then so be it. She will use it.

Exhaustion hits her but the emptiness stops her from staggering as a gun appears in her hands.

She aims it, pressing the trigger. Instead of a bullet or energy a sharp blast of water shot out. More powerful than the small water gun she had used to Emporio.

Oh right. Food buff.

The initial wave of exhaustion recedes a little. Elidibus lifts his head to assess their surroundings and for a moment Kiyoiri might catch the barest sign of relief before the emotion is hidden. The Ascian turns most of his attention to her and the rummaging through the bag.

Chocolate as a healing item in itself is not necessarily outside the realm of his experience. Literal healing, perhaps not. But bolstering? Absolutely. This particular chocolate bar might not work exactly the same way. But he wouldn't reject its offer.

The Ascian remains still under Kiyoiri's efforts and won't flinch as any treatment is given to his borrowed vessel. Elidibus's gaze remains following the flow of the battle and in on the surroundings to watch for signs of a second wave. He'll eat the chocolate willingly if it is offered and find with some interest that it does seem to take a small edge off the fatigue.

Takechirou was ordered to perform an action by his Master and may even be preparing it. But the ride up to the airship has possibly delayed its execution or there was need to gather power for it. Regardless of the matter, the massive king of the skies is now descending. Their time is up.

"Quickly child, finish your work. Our foe returns." Elidibus will give what time he feels he can before beginning to push himself to his feet again. There are still things he can do. Ones he will do. If Kiyoiri protests, she'll receive a simple response.

"I'm not so easily defeated. I've chosen to see aid my fellow passengers and I will see this duty through."

And this time, rather than sword, the Ascian turns to a moment of sorcery. The philosophy of his world's law calls for Wind to oppose Fire. And thus it is conjured, wrapped around the bird as a cutting storm with a precision that leaves even Takechirou untouched. Elidibus does not need to limit himself to one school of combat it seems.

And a simple yet potent mimicry of the Aero spell is far less taxing at the moment.

Of course she protests. Of course! She's managed to patch up the worst and nothing more, because that blasted Fire Bird took off leaving Takaechirou to charge on after it.

(And of course, whether he reached the bird or whether he has to make contact as it streaks down, the fact remains that the ultimate melee of blows from the Noble Phantasm is not yet fully delivered. She would be able to heal otherwise.)

So Kiyoiri, as with any other time, is left to chew her lip. To stand behind Elidibus as she would stand behind any summoned heroic spirit, and simply prepare to take any action she can.
