Rating: PG-13(?)
Time: June 10th to June 12th
Description: In the area surrounding San Martín de los Andes, Isla del Sol and San Pedro de Atacama, there have been reports of large, bird-like creatures attack and consuming humans. A request was sent out to Shibusen to deal with this threat.



San Martín de los Andes

A town famous for its tourism. It gets chilly at night, but during the day it's bright and sunny with plenty of beaches. Incidentally, it's a famous place for birdwatching during the summer. Needless to say, after more than a few bird watchers were seen being carried off there are fewer of them hanging around lately.


Isla del Sol

An island with harsh climate and rocks. Lots and lots of rocks. It is also rich in old ruins and archaeological sites. The views from the top of the mountains, especially at dawn and dusk are said to be breath-taking. Lately though, it's less the view that's taking the tourists breaths away so much as the giant birds (suspected to be Kishin Eggs) swooping down at them and eating them.


San Pedro de Atacama

Another nifty place for eco-tourism where tourists can choose to go on exploration tours in natural landscapes. Lately though, many tourists who go to the Valle de La Luna and the Chaxas Lagoon, haven't been returning. When a couple of survivors finally made it back, they spoke about a monstrous, pink bird devouring their fellow tourists.

Comments

[namelesswitch]

[Well, that was...unexpected. The Witch blinked then flicked her wrist, the fire wall lowered itself before springing up and away from the ground towards the Witch. Some of it joined the bit already there at the head of her mallet. The rest of it coiled and danced around her in streams, almost as if it were alive.

She walked towards Akiha with a sniff at her burns.]

How unsightly,

[computations]

[Sion changed back on the ground and hurriedly scrambled to her feet. All she wanted to do was keep herself between the witch and Akiha.]

Stay back!

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Still on the ground, Akiha panted and looked up at the approaching witch. Her view was blocked by her partner then, causing her to try to get to her feet, one hand grabbing the back of Sion's shirt to aid her.]

I can still...

[No, she couldn't. She couldn't calm herself enough to resonate. They were so screwed.]

[namelesswitch]

[As the fire spiraled around her, the Witch couldn't help but want to burn both of them until there was nothing left but ash.

The fire around her shifted and moved outwards move around all of them. A lot of it danced close to the two girls, but not touching.

The Sway of Magic called to her so sweetly that she almost couldn't help herself.

But Hachi would be angry and the fact that these girls hadn't come alone meant that it's about time for her to beat a retreat. Hachi had said so.

She let out a huff, bringing the mallet above her head.]

Really. She's going to owe me for this. [And that was all she has to say before she brings the mallet down on the girl (the Weapon, was it?) with enough force to hopefully knock her out.

The flames, she left there though she tamped them down a little to avoid doing too much unnecessary damage.]

[computations]

[Sion raised her arm and partially transformed it in hopes of blocking the blow. Unfortunately, alone, it was a pointless maneuver, the power behind it blasting through her guard and nailing her solidly. By the way she was laid out on the ground, it was pretty obvious that she was out cold.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Sion!

[No, no, no, no, NO! A rush of anger and determination ran through Akiha at the sight of her partner laying there. She couldn't, wouldn't, leave her there and save herself. If this was it for them, she was damn well going to make the witch pay for defeating them.

Unlike most meisters, Akiha was far from defenseless without her partner. She had Soul Bite and Soul Menace. Sure, she was still working on Soul Menace, but for some reason it always seemed to work better for her when she was angry. With adrenaline and the anger pushing her past the pain, Akiha went at the witch, trying to land a two0hit combination with the first hit using Soul Bite to drain and the second with Soul Menace to bitch-slap the witch's soul.

...and then she knew it would be over. This was all she had left.]

[namelesswitch]

[The smell of burnt clothing and the sound of the girl she just knocked out hitting the ground were wonderful and they distracted her long enough for Akiha's attack to take her by surprise. The first hit landed, but the Witch just managed to dodge the second hit, before swinging the mallet at the back of Akiha's head.

Soul Menace...Shibusen really was teaching these "Guests" some pretty nasty tricks.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[The Soul Bite took enough energy that Akiha thought she might be able to channel it into Soul Menace, but she missed that second attack. Completely off-balance, she couldn't even try to dodge or block the mallet and it hit her solidly.

With a cry of pain, Akiha crumpled to the ground, blacking out.]
