[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.]

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?

[gullwingsgunner]

[She nodded slightly, she was holding up perfectly well as far as using this one dressphere was. For now thought she changes to her Black Mage sphere, changing clothes as she did and gripped the staff.]

I'm holding up fine and I think I can for much longer. But thank you for the help, I am grateful.

[She stands in position in order to cast Thunder on another one and sent it to the ground.]

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine is taken aback by the sudden change of clothes, averting her eyes as quick as possible to avoid seeing anything. But her surprise is short-lived as there are too many enemies to risk being distracted.]

No problem.

[She chucks the lightning spear at another golem before calling up another one. Near her feet, a little laptop with metal legs glows blue. Suddenly a handful of golem are enveloped in similar light and crumble to pieces.]

[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!

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy's lips curl into a smile.]

Thanks.

[Her magic is versatile though it's not as strong as others.]

They seem to keep coming though. I'm trying to stop the damage to the city... [It isn't going so well.]

[gullwingsgunner]

I can help if you just tell me what to do.

[She'll figure it out from there as she gets her guns ready to see if she will keep this sphere or change it.]

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy nods.]

They are spreading thin, if you can help me we can funnel them into one area.

[Levy puts her palms together again before spreading her arms out to either side.]

Hole! [The word forms of the ground sending more than a few lumbering golems stumbling forward.]

That should hold them here.

[gullwingsgunner]

[She nodded, she figured she could do that, but which sphere would be the best idea. For now she stuck with Gunner as she started to run toward them aiming towards the ground to make sure that they would move closer together.]

[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.

[swordprincess]

[Karla turns to look at the girl with a warm smile, like it was no big deal. Fighting: just another day for the Sword Princess.]

Yes, these statues are no match for my blade. I can't help but wonder about the guy who summoned them, though. Wasn't he one of the Guardian candidates in the last election? He seems sort of familiar...

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Oh! Yeah he was going after the Evergade Guardian position when the election was around.

[See won't go into detail in how she knew that and instead jumped back to quickly attack a nearby golem.]

I guess he's being a big baby about not getting the job. Though he reminds me a lot of someone else that I'm not sure if you'll remember them, but Lucifer?

[swordprincess]

This makes me glad that he didn't get the job. Who knows what he would have done then...

[He might have done the same thing he's doing now, and no one would have the right to stop him.]

It seems like he's betraying the people who did happen to vote for him. I guess you can never be too careful about who you're voting for...

[Her pondering is interrupted by another golem, which she quickly strikes down with her sword.]

[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.

[rainclouds]

( this was it. fighting side by side with gray-sama, that is when juvia really felt alive. she tossed a glance his way with only the slightest of nods, and turned her attention towards the golems. )

Water Cane! ( she cried, her hands flowing out towards her first target, as a large stream of water followed suit. a pillar of water encased the first golem completely, ripe for freezing. )

They will never stand a chance... against Juvia and Gray-sama together!

[icymintyfresh]

Ice Make: Canon!

[once the golem was completely frozen, he shot at the pillar, destroying the golem in the process.

he shot her a quick smile. he enjoyed being around Juvia times like this.]

We do make a pretty good team.

[rainclouds]

( she was on cloud nine, hearing that. maybe it was more like cloud 999. the fact was, juvia was completely elated, coming alive in the battle, esepcially alongside of gray.

she moved with him flawlessly, turning so that she could aim her next attack towards the golems on his other side, her brow furrowing in concentration. ) Water Jigsaw! ( she cried, the sharp droplets from the cyclone that formed in her hands heading towards their target, spot on. but when she turned to the side this time, one of the golems had started to pull up a large chunk of the earth, hurling it towards the two of them.

unable to react in time with another attack, her eyes widened as her mouth opened to try and form a warning -- )

[icymintyfresh]

[spears and beams of ice rained on the golems closest by, taking out several of them. they never seemed to stop appearing, did they? as soon as they had taken care of a few, it was as if there were ten more. he had been too caught up in the battle, that he had neglected to pay as much attention to their surroundings. he caught the golem throwing the chunk of earth, but at the rate it was going, he wasn't guaranteed to stop it in time.

He needed to protect his guildmate--no, Juvia, so he didn't even hesitate to try and pull her into his arms, close to his chest, while running out of the way of the attacking element.]

Ice Make: Shield!

[With one hand free, he formed a shield to receive the brunt of the attack. But it was hastily made, even moreso since someone else's safety was involved, so it wouldn't continue to hold against the attacks.]

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.

[wizard_redfive]

[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.]
