EVENT: Witch Attack on the City!

Characters: Everyone and anyone
Location: Anywhere in Death City!
Rating: PG-13
Time: August 23
Description: There's a Witch attack on the city and, to make matters worse, there's a dangerous individuals while Meister powers go completely out of control

The evening before there had been a PSA going around the network and the radio to watch out for an individual causing trouble in the city and a reminder to please stay indoors if possible.

Then around midnight something distinctly...strange happens. At first, Weapons probably won't notice, because it's only Meisters who suddenly find their powers flaring up for no apparent reason even when they're not trying to use them.

There's a two hour window where the abilities become stronger until it's practically impossible to control before the alarms in the city sound.

Kishin Eggs have been spotted entering the city in droves and this time they haven't come alone...

There was simply no way Kyoko could just peacefully retire to her apartment when midnight struck, not with the news of a killer in the city. Honestly, she had heard of BREW pulling some weird stunts before, but this seemed like a new level of crazy. But this was the sort of thing that made her antsy. Even if she had tired herself out from patrolling, it wouldn't be a restful night with this knowledge on hand.

And it became even worse when the alarms started going off.

The only cause she could figure out for this were the strange... creatures that have somehow crept into the city. Knowing enough that those things were Kishin eggs, and that she would only be able to take them down as part of a pair, Kyoko took refuge in order to call up the one Meister she knew she could trust in a situation like this.

"Mami-san," she spoke into her communicator, voice hushed and urgent, but steady and composed. "Where are you right now?"

Having decided to keep an eye on the city after hearing news of someone horrible being loose, Mami had to duck into an alley very quickly to hide herself once midnight struck and her abilities started going haywire. She hadn't even really had the opportunity to explore them yet, so suddenly feeling every emotion from everyone in the nearby vicinity was shocking and terrifying.

She was in the middle of clutching her head and trying to find a place where less people were around when the call came through. D-damn, she couldn't ignore this. She answered quickly, sounding just a little bit frazzled.

"I'm... outside somewhere, I ... I lost track of where... I'm sorry..."

It's not like Mami to lose her composure like this, and Kyoko knows that very well. She frowns, troubled, as that answer does her very little good. It takes another second or two before she scrapes together a slightly different idea.

"What all is around? I'm going to come find you."

That definitely doesn't sound menacing at all good job Kyoko.

"Ah... I... was near the park... There's ...buildings?"

Damn, that wasn't helpful, Mami silently berated herself, but she'd be damned if it wasn't really hard to concentrate right now...

"J-just a couple of... blocks away, I think..."

From the park. DAMMIT, she was making so little sense.

That's a narrow enough area for Kyoko to search.

"Sit tight, I'll be right there."

She'll keep the communication channel open, though. Just in case. But with that wrapped up, she waits for an opening to leave her hiding spot, moving swiftly through the city in order to find Mami. It's kind of rough, having to dodge out of harms way instead of diving in to take out some of these things, but she manages well enough. Soon, she's within a few blocks of the park and begins to circle the area while calling out for the other girl.

"Mami-san!" A pause, waiting for a reply, before trying again. "Mami!" Gee, there sure are a lot of people to dodge in this area. Hopefully she'll be able to find her...

The sound of her own name through all the chaos in her mind and around her was what drew Mami's attention to Kyoko. She rushed towards the voice and then found herself standing in front of Kyoko, hands still clutching her head as well as the communicator.

"S-Sakura-san... Thank goodness..."

Why does she have her head in her hands like that...?

There's plenty of concern rolling off of Kyoko that Mami is likely to pick up on, but at the same time she's making a large effort to stay as composed as possible amid the panic of the citizens. Her resolve is likely enough to mask some of that feeling, so at least it shouldn't be overwhelming. In spite of her worry, Kyoko knows that there's little time to try and figure out what's wrong.

"If you stay out here alone, one of those things is likely to try and eat you." The redhead shuts off the communication channel through her mirror before slipping it quickly into her pocket and holding her hand out to Mami. "Let's get rid of some of 'em before they try and do the same to anyone else."

Mami was a little more clumsy with stowing her own mirror into a pocket, nearly dropping the thing in the process. The fact that she got concern out of Kyoko's emotions, if only for a little while, made her realize just how pained she must look right now.

Making an effort to calm her mind, Mami took a deep breath before grabbing her friend's hand.

"Yes, we'll... They won't get past us!"

Her attempt to be as flamboyant as usual fell a little short, but she felt that giving a good effort was worth it at least.

Kyoko gives a small frown at Mami's attempts, mostly because they felt so... forced. Unnatural. She was acting really, really weird. Even so, she wastes no time in transforming, and soon Mami is left with the spear resting balanced in her palm.

Kyoko's attempts at establishing resonance have a little more finesse than last time. There's no rushing or forceful pushing, and there's no time to screw around or risk doing anything that might make the Meister's concentration falter even more.

"Just focus on this," she says, firing up her soul even more than normal, hoping that the stronger presence will give Mami some sort of anchor. "We can take these things easily."

Nodding, Mami gripped Kyoko-the-spear tightly, using the feeling of the girl in her hand and the presence of her soul to focus her mind. Resonating with Kyoko was something that felt absolutely natural to Mami - like the two of them had always been meant to be partners in every world. And that comforting thought helped greatly to distract from the overwhelming emotions all around Mami.

"We've taken on enemies worse than these before, haven't we?"

She sounded more natural now, though still a tiny bit strained as she spun Kyoko between her hands and started walking slowly.

Mami should notice a little bit of the concern easing off from Kyoko, instead replaced with a flicker of amusement. The worry is still present, but with Mami's focus sharpened and away from the commotion the citizens are causing, it's easier for Kyoko's own focus to steady at the task at hand.

"That's right." Not that she's positive, but she is a pro at faking confidence. The act has never steered her wrong before! "Let's get 'em."

No one could have filled Mami with confidence in the way that Kyoko was right now. She was extremely grateful for the presence of the other girl as she approached the area beset by trouble slowly.

"Mmm, hopefully I'll hit more often than I miss. Is... that what they look like?"

Welp, there sure was a Kishin Egg there, hmm.

"Seems like it," she replies. Kyoko had... actually never encountered a Kishin egg up until now, but it wasn't anything like the clowns that she had been up against before, and it sure looked aggressive.

"Just go for it like it's a Witch, we'll be able to take it down, no problem!"

"Of course. I wasn't going to go for it any other way."

As she slowly approached the creature, Mami was struck by the fact that... well, it seemed so much different from Witches. It shouldn't have surprised her, but it still did. She readied Kyoko and took a deep breath.

"Ready?"

She didn't even really wait for a reply before charging at the creature. She knew that Kyoko was ready for battle. She always seemed to be.

"Always," she confirmed.

Her lingering concern over Mami's behavior is apparent in the fact that her enthusiasm isn't really the same as the previous time she resonated with the blonde, with her focus more narrowed down on getting rid of the problem quickly rather than seeming to enjoy the situation. Her soul flares up as the Egg approaches the two of them, ready to go into combat.

Despite the fact that she's still feeling distracted by the emotions surrounding her, Mami manages to take that final step and swings Kyoko at the Egg, letting out a battle yell as she does so.

Of course, not having any actual combat experience with Kyoko, she only manages to wound the creature, causing it to shriek with rage.

"...darn, I missed the vital areas...!"

"That's okay," she replies. It's still an effort to try and maintain some sort of balance in their wavelength with Mami's emotions still being run ragged for... whatever reason, but she controls herself well enough to not throw more chaos into the mix.

"Go again! While it's distracted by that last strike!"

"Right... right, I've got this...!"

Mami wastes no time in turning to face the thing again, spinning Kyoko around in the process. It's only moments before she's charging again, this time managing to actually stab the thing directly in the stomach.

"Will this... do...?"

She asks as she forcefully digs Kyoko deeper into the creature.

The enthusiasm of charging into battle heats up Kyoko's own soul, so the impact of the weapon against the Egg is accompanied with a hot flare, singing the creature pretty badly.

"Yeah! Just don't let up!" Because this thing sure isn't about to. Even as Mami drives the weapon deeper in, the Kishin Egg lets out a roar of pain.

"Slash to the side, that should take it down."

With a nod of confirmation, Mami swiftly twists her grip on Kyoko and slashes sideways, ripping a large gaping wound into the creature. She's panting, even from so small of an effort, though Kyoko's emotions are overwhelming her and she feels a sort of... bloodlust that she's never felt before.

And so she promptly drives the tip of the blade into the Egg a few more times, hitting its vital spots violently.

Good, it seems like that did the trick, falling the creature who gave a loud bellow of pain as it went down. Relieved satisfaction seeps its way into the wavelength from Kyoko, who only takes a moment to savor the moment of victory before turning her focus elsewhere.

"Don't stop now, there's another one coming up from behind!"

Mami only has enough time to breathe a quick sigh of relief before Kyoko's words draw her attention to her back. Spinning, she raises Kyoko up defensively again.

"Where?? I don't... see it..."

It didn't help that all of the emotions are making every sense kind of... difficult to focus on.
