Nightmare on Fayren Street

[tsundebro]

[Down along the roads from Lakendell to Fayren, green bolts fly which emit strong gusts of wind, striking huge, hulking humanoids, the impacts of arrows making them erupt in globs of shadows and disappear.

The Hoshidan Prince is not fooling around. Were his suspicions founded after all? Was he right all along? Did they really betray them all? The fear and hatred in his eyes and movements guide him on a rampage as more of these things become victims of Fujin Yumi.]

Those damned Nohrians! How could they just go off and do this? Damn them all! I trusted you!

Damn you, Xander! [Flash!] Damn you, Camilla! [Flash!] Damn you, Elise! [Flash!] Damn you, Leo! [Flash!]

Come at me, you faceless filth! Come face the might of Hoshido!

[In the midst of his rampage, more Faceless were appearing and were steadily beginning to surround him.]

Comments

[ubiquitously]

[The gusts of wind and green bolts of light were what initially attracted Uai's attention. He teleports to the scene, not sure what he should be expecting. The Faceless monsters are not remotely on the list.]

Whoa-- [He has to teleport away to avoid them, moving three feet to the left. Then, after tracing the sort of light, he spots Takumi. Uai teleports to the young man's side this time.]

Where did you find these guys?!

[tsundebro]

And here's Uai, proving to be more loyal than any scummy Nohrian. He doesnt answer right away, instead planting a magic arrow dead center of a Faceless forehead.

"Not hard to spot them from the mansion, Uai. We call them Faceless. They're monsters created by Nohr."

Another shot, and another kill. With each arrow released, everyone and everything around Takumi is buffeted by a burst of wind. Not strong, but definitely a firm push.

[ubiquitously]

[Uai receives the information as calmly as he can, and while masking his confusion. That makes no sense. Monsters from home shouldn't be able to appear here, should they? The implications of that are more than a bit frightening.

He doesn't join the attack right away, for one additional reason: Seeing a threat from Azura's world--- (and Takumi's, but like... let's be real. Azura is his priority--) is chilling. Does she see these things often? He knew about a war, but monsters too?]

... Oh. I-I can help? [Can he? Uai phrases it as a question. He's not sure if regular methods will have any effect.]

[tsundebro]

I don't know. Can you?

[Ignore the cheesed off pineapple-head. Takumi sighs when he realized that was a bit much.]

Grab your prefered weapon and go for it. If we need to, we can try to meet up with Azura.

[ubiquitously]

[Takumi is very lucky that Uai likes him a fair bit, or he'd leave that attitude to die.

--- Is what he'd like to say. Uai has too much of a bleeding heart to actually leave anyone to die, or suffer in any capacity. Usually, that hampers his ability to fight: Uai's magic and weapons cannot hurt anything if he doesn't have a conscious will to cause harm. Often resulting in Uai being unable to defend himself in a fight.

This time, however, it's different. These are threats to Takumi and Azura, and Uai cares too much about them to let these "Facelesss" slide.]

Azura has enough on her plate without this. Let's take care of this on our own. Stand back, kay?

[tsundebro]

[Takumi nods, taking a quick survey of his surroundings.

Yep, surrounded like a popular guy at a school. Except these fans are ugly.]

I'm going for higher ground. Don't die alright?

[Well, first he needs to get passed the Faceless here to even get to higher ground.]

[ubiquitously]

Well, since you've asked so nicely. I'll get their attention, so get a move on~!

[He nods to Takumi's comment, also noting their problem: Takumi needs to get to higher ground first, and they're presently surrounded.

Having already warned Takumi to keep his distance, Uai moves straight to attack. He disappears briefly, reappearing among the Faceless with unearned confidence. Gravity tugs his enemy closer as a sword appears in his hand, delivering a swift cut. Uai is continuing to use a combination of fancy teleportation and gravity to control the movements of the Faceless, all too confident and purposefully coming off as fearless.

HE REALLY WANTS TO IMPRESS TAKUMI.]

[tsundebro]

[Hey! Takumi said to NOT die, which includes doing stupid things!

You snog-goblin.

Takumi finds a new perch on a Wall between Uai and a horde of Faceless, giving him a advantage of picking off the monsters one-by-one.

Prioritizing the ones nearest to Uai because he is a try-hard. Of course, the easy-pickings stopped being easy when the Faceless start tackling the wall Takumi was on to try to bring him down.]

[ubiquitously]

[Uai felt pretty confident, actually! Manipulating gravity and spacial pulls made it possible to drag Faceless straight into his blade, and his ability to stop time for quick escapes is equally handy.

this boy.

His confidence is rattled, at least, when he notices the wall is under attack.]

Takumi! [He teleports closer, purposefully using himself as a distraction.] How are you so popular with them?

[beamsmagicalgirls]

[Geeze, what light show is it this time? 17 calmly follows the distress and look, there is one pretty boy surrounded by some faceless crew. 17 taps one shoulder of the faceless individual, waited for it to turn around. There is a small grin followed with a punch.]

Hi!

[That punch should had sent that one flying pass the young prince to another faceless creature.]

Thought I join in, and you know, do my job.

[Meet one young male, one hand on the hip and the other hanging.]

Seems fair?

[tsundebro]

[That was one impressive punch. He's seen hand-to-hand martial Arts, but to see it so effective that it takes down a hulking creature like a Faceless in one punch?

Well, it earned a smirk.]

You work for my sister? Then by all means.

[One draw of the Fujin Yumi creates a strong gust of wind, firing on the two Faceless struggling to get back up. One dissolves into shadows, but the other is ready to be finished off by the other man.]

[beamsmagicalgirls]

[17 has met stronger creatures and these creatures were child's play. He watched the prince fire another guest, it was quite interesting. Could had been similar to energy blasts. When 17 saw one dissolved, that was enough reason to finish them off.

When the last faceless began to charge at them, 17 extended one arm out, palm facing it. He released a white energy blast once it made contact to 17's palm. The energy sent the creature flying back until it dissolved as well. Once the deed was done, some of the Royal Soldiers of Fayren finally caught up to him.

17 glanced at the young man, then to the soldiers.]

Take care of him and escort him back to his home.

[One hand slid back down his pocket as he's about to turn and leave. Sorry prince, he doesn't bother asking.]

[tsundebro]

[Whoa. What the hell kind of magic was that?

Sure, it helped blast away the Faceless and that will make Takumi's rampage just a little less rampage-y, but nope. He's going to dodge a soldier coming to coax him with them.]

Thanks for the assist, but I'm not going anywhere. These monsters terrorized Hoshido, and I'm not going to let them terrorize Fayren.
