[OOC: I will post different sections which you can tag into. However I will do a post section in a couple of days.]

[Fai had everything ready, he was carrying a small bag on his person as he had made sure to set people up in the right spots and had told them where to meet him. After all he felt like it would be best to speak to them face to face before the whole thing. But he knew not to keep them. But for now he waited.]

Pre-Fight with Gilgamesh

[behindthefakesmile]

[Whoever might arrive to speak to him before everything would happen Fai was holding the bag in front of him, with a slightly smile on his face.]

Thanks for coming here before. I wanted people to keep something with them, to signal for help, which I will provide while hidden. If you want it of course.

[Though for those who were on the rescue team, Fai was hlding something in his hand, a vile of sorts.]

[son_of_durotan]

[Thrall showed up clad in his ebon black armor, Doomhammer in hand. He wasn't being very social, preferring to focus more on the battle at hand. However, at Fai's offer of help, he did decide to speak up.]

That will not be necessary. I will manage the support of the group confronting the madman. You focus on rescuing Sakura.

[behindthefakesmile]

So you know what the basic plan is correct? Just thought I would check before I let you go.

[Since he seems confident he isn't going to insist on being a backup support.]

[Zelos arrived fairly early, assuming he even left his not-boyfriend alone, and stretched as he wandered over to him.]

Hm? What've you got in mind, Fai-hunny?

[Just draping his arms around Fai's shoulders from behind, peering over to see what's in his hand.]

Re: Pre-Fight with Gilgamesh

[behindthefakesmile]

[He is currently looking through his bag at the various viles he had managed to put together. He was checking he had the correct ones anyway. The other still in his hand.]

Got in mind? If you mean for rescuing Sakura if my plan for the distraction team works and they get him away, the rest should be simple. But so that there isn't anything about the cage I got a couple of viles to give to someone to use.

[Looking over slightly.]

Fight with Gilgamesh

[Mamoru had already went to confront him. At the scene, anyone could see Mamoru flying in the skies of Attleton, shining brightly like a green beacon of courage and hope. Mamoru had figured fighting with Gilgamesh would be easier if he flew... and he had a certain promise to keep, anyway. From a distance, it looks like the fight has already begun, as Mamoru darted across the sky, trying to avoid Gilgamesh's blades and shooting bolts of green light.]

[son_of_durotan]

[When the time for battle came, Thrall was positioned in the middle of the group going up against Gilgamesh. Before anyone initiated hostility, he had already placed a water totem at his feet, generating a soothing aura as he took up a fighting stance with the Doomhammer, waiting for the rest of the group to ready themselves before charging.]

[It may not have looked like Midboss had made any preparations at all for the fight, aside from pinning a flight charm to his jacket, but any who looked closely would see a fierce determination in his eyes.

He could already feel the power radiating from Thrall's totem, and he gave him a confident smirk.]

Impressive power, certainly. Now, are you ready?

Re: Fight with Gilgamesh

[beautifulmidboss]

[Midboss was ready for the fight, cracking his knuckles before rotating his shoulders as he loosened his muscles. Typically for a demon, he could already feel excitement and adrenaline flowing through him, despite himself. He'd easily be able to drive this usurper out of his territory - or so his ego told him - and the sooner he could prove that the better. Besides, after what became of him when he lost his emotions, he saw winning his city back from this monstrous man as the first step to redeeming himself.]

Well then... it would seem the time for battle is almost upon us.

Rescuing the Sakura

Re: Rescuing the Sakura

[redsnowangel]

[Having snuck into Gilgamesh's hiding place once before, Zelos at least had some idea what to expect. For now, he crouched out of sight, ready for the right moment to intervene. He wanted to give the distraction party a chance to act, at least.]

Hooray, a real-live damsel in distress. Ted had hurried up to wait, in breathless anticipation. He wasn't sure what the plan was just yet, but hey, maybe he can make a good impression. It was strange working in tandem with quite a few people he hadn't seen; might be a good chance to build camaraderie. With a prayer in his heart and his bag in his hands, he waited for the signal.

Protecting the City

[behindthefakesmile]

[firefandance]

[Yukiko didn't even need to ask, she had already ran right into the fray the moment she could. Using her Persona for the most part she made sure to set the golems on fire. When not doing that she can be found running around and offering t heal anyone that was still fighting.]

[gullwingsgunner]

[With all of her spheres she could use, Yuna had chosen to change into the Songstress and use her dancing abilities to cause the golems to go blind and therefore unable to attack anyone or cause any harm. As she danced she looked arund, knowing that she was going to have to stop soon. She just needed to get someone to attack them before then.]

Anyone around?

[wizard_redfive]

Right here!

[That's all the warning Yuna will get before bolts of lightning smash into the blind golems, breaking them into pieces. Standing further down the street is the source: a young girl with bright red hair wearing jeans and a superhero t-shirt. She gives a wave with one hand, the other currently holding another lightning bolt as if it were a spear.]

You holding up OK?

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[She had already been asked to help and she wasn't one to turn down helping someone she knew and someone who she had certain things in common with. So Venus was dealing with one golem after another, using the same attack over and over again as it was the only one she had without her belt. Jumping up into the air she managed to land over another one before unleashing another attack. This seemed a little too easy and that nerved her slightly.]

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy's trying to keep the golems from spreading out or going to far into the city but it's a lot harder than she had thought. There are a lot of them and she isn't able to write all that quickly so she focuses on the spells she can do instantly.]

Bullet!

[Her hands press together in front of her as the word appears in the air behind her only to shot forward like a hundred bullets being fired at the lumber creature.]

[gullwingsgunner]

[Yuna had been running around, thinking of other ideas she could use to help. Dancing could only get her so far after all. So changing back to her normal gunner dressphere she turned the corner only to skid to a stop seeing a near by golem go down.]

Nice shot!

[swordprincess]

[Karla had stayed quiet during this whole situation, but she had been in Attleton when the golems attacked. Also, given that she had signed up for David Haller's little hero club, she assumed that this was the kind of thing she signed up for.]

[So she cut her way through the golems with her blade. But there were so many of them; it was unlikely that she'd be able to fight them all off on her own.]

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[Using another rolling heart vibration she had made her way through a near sea of golems wondering when the last one would fall. As she thought of that she jumped over another one and this time using an item she had on her person to scan him as she landed.This would be a good thing to keep for information later on. When that was done she looked around to see who else was there.]

I see your taking care of them over here. Glad to see.

[icymintyfresh]

[Eliminate or slow down as many of the golems as possible is the strategy Gray is aiming for, so he asked Juvia for help, because they had worked well together in the past.

He doesn't waste any time in casting his magic to create a wall of ice to surround some of the golems. It's making sure it stays reinforced for Juvia that's the main concern.

He looks tense when he looks her way, but also happier than he's been in a while, excited about the battle.]

Use your water to fill that, and then I'll freeze them in place.

Re: Protecting the City

[satori_komeiji]

Satori entered with a calm, purposeful stroll. The youkai hadn't a care in the world for this battle. At least, she wasn't the one who needed to care about the outcome after all. In the distance, a great thundering and cheering emerged. The approaching steps of what sounded like several hundred feet beat the drums of war. At least two dozen loud voices in unison, raising ancient war cries and half-remembered songs. From their own noise and their steady marching, Satori's retinue could definitely be heard long before they were seen.

A few locked step behind Satori, while others marched to their own rythm. United together by happenstance and good fortune of their being a battle to fight, Satori's calmness reflected their chaotic desires. And a few of these formidable beings could be seen flanking her. An Oni and Kijo fell in behind her, both roughly the size of a human, with exception of the horns that peeked out from their heads. For their size, these smaller specimens were surely as strong as a hundred humans, alone. To the youkai's other side was exactly the opposite type of body. A lanky, yet muscular beast of an Oni let a growl pass his lips. And further behind, one that was practically a giant of its kind, horn partly broken, entirely a wall of flesh and muscle. The ranks behind those three varied in size and agression, but each one of them was hell-bent on marching against their shared foe. Oni were simple creatures, Satori thought. Predators and natural enemies of whatever a proud man cherished, eaters of flesh and raiders of villages.

In her homeland, humans had a name for such a thing. Fearful tales where predatory youkai would cross mountains, forests and even settlements. If anyone was to gaze upon that baleful march, they would surely be their next victims. Even if there wasn't a hundred of them, she'd convinced this band of Oni, despite their kind's wariness about the satori youkai. That would have to be - and was more than - enough. Once the chanting and howling from afar finally stopped, enough to warn all others of their presence, Satori took up a position on a hill and stood her ground. One of the larger Oni leaned down to speak with her. Satori wasted no time replying.

"I must have part of your number guard the humans. Protect them with your lives, and make sure no harm comes to them..." The couple-dozen of the Oni seem to re-organize themselves. Some of the stronger and more monstruous ones gather to form an advance party. "As for the others, you should alter your path here, slightly, enough to meet the golems head-on. Neither those golems nor their masters must be given an inch, are we understood?" The formidable Oni leader offered a firm nod.

And so, the warband divided itself into two groups in widely different directions. One to fortify the defenses and protect the refugees from Attleton, while the other moved with force and purpose towards their destination. Satori could only hope that Gilgamesh's advance would be halted at any cost, even if the Oni saw fit to crash directly into the enemy lines. When a certain Golden King stuck up like a nail, Satori had brought an impressive hammer. All that's left would be to see if they'd strike him down.

[Now this Dairine can handle. Shield spell in place, she focuses on the nearest golems. One by one the group begins to disintegrate into pebbles.

Once that wizardry runs out of juice, she calls forth what looks like bolts of lightning. Holding them in her hands, she starts tossing the energy at golems that get too close to the town's buildings. Dairine can probably manage by herself, even if she looks so young. But company is welcome.]
