---

Alexis Raskoph has posed:
The school day has ended just shortly, now, ehich is evidenced by the rows upon rows of students in Verone uniforms wandering through from the general direction of the wooded area that leads to the private school.

This is not somewhere Alex has been trying to be lately. Mostly on account of him not wanting to risk accidentally being recognized by someone and getting the police called because, hey, that kid who's been mossing for a month suddenly showed up!

But he still needs to feed. And he knows there are people wandering these grounds, too, that at least deserve to get their faces smashed as far as he is concernes.

Which means that he is now loitering near one of the smaller grocery stores, leaned against a wall-- woth his face obscured to people who don't look from up close by hoodie and scarf.

.... He probably looks like the kimd of person he's hunting for, actually.

Miku Kohinata has posed:
Being without Hibiki isn't the worst thing in Miku's life. She has spent many a month away from her best friend, while each has gone on their separate adventures. No, the worst thing in Miku's life is not knowing where Hibiki is, or whether she's okay.

As a result, the green-haired girl has been more than a little distracted, lately. She's not sleeping well; tired and exhausted all the time. And just when she thinks she will give up on Hibiki coming home, some little thing reminds her of the wild-haired wonder that is and always has been her best friend.

Walking alone outside of the school, Miku makes her way from Verone towards a store with the name of 'Flower', just down the block from the grocery store. Maybe some noodles will make her feel better.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto was lost. Wait, no, not lost. Directionall challenged. Yeah ,that's what she'd tell people.

She was lost. She'd felt so good about herself, like she was really advancing, getting stronger, faster, better. All those things!... Okay, mostly just better. She'd been so excited to be out and running about that she'd ended up going down some streets... then some more streets... then some more streets. and then finally some more streets. Now she really, really wished she had a cell phone again because oh my gosh she was so lost and she didn't know what to do! What if daddy was worried?!

She saw the girl outside the mart. Well, she looked nice. "Um, miss?" the girl asked, walking up. "Could, errr, you tell me the way back to seishou public elementary?"

Alexis Raskoph has posed:
Though Alex might not be immediately recognized with his current clothes, but he recognizes Sakura even from afar.

And overhears her asking for directions.

From a Verone student.

Damnit. See, the dominant side of him that is desperately holding on to his old self is telling him that he should go to her and take her home (hers!), but... While he doesn't recognize Miku, he is still painfully aware that he... well. Stood out a LOT when he WAS in school still. Does he want to risk it?

"...Sakura." The answer is apparently yes.And thus, the german boy approaches there slowly, with his hand tugging at his scarf so at least the younger girl can recognize him. ... All while hoping that him turning his head so that his face is covered on Miku's side is enough for her to not recognize him.

"...Are you lost?"

Miku Kohinata has posed:
Miku is known for her compassion, so the call of 'um miss?' earns her attention almost straight away. She turns, wide-eyed and curious, to regard the tiny little girl who is so short she might get lost in a field of tall grass.

Kneeling down, Miku starts to put herself on Sakura's level, but she's interrupted by a boy who apparently knows the girl. So rather than speak up, Miku just opens her mouth and stares at him, listening curiously.

And trying to remember where she's seen that face before.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto jumps, her eyes going wide. She then turned and... looked relieved. "Alexis-kun? Oh! I must not be very far from home, then!" No, she was hecka far. "I got lost and since my phone got wrecked last week, I can't look at the gps anymore. I had no idea how much I depended on that thing!"

She said with a grin before she just skated on over(yes, she's in roller skates because that's what she does!) and gives him a big, giant hug. "I haven't seen you in a while since the whole... you getting all... darker!" she said, smiling up. Then blinked. "Did... you get my text... too?"

Alexis Raskoph has posed:
Alex... Doesn't react to the hug at first. But then he remembers what the 'normal' thing to do is, and draws one arm over and around the girl to give her a dmall squeeze. ... He does, however, lower his head a bit more to try and hide further under the hood when his name is dropped. Damnit.

"Seiyo is. Like twenty kilometers from here," he points out, deadpan. "Do you need me to walk you home?"

He probably looks a little suspicious to Miku, still.

He blinks, then. "Text...?" he repeats. "I don't. Have my own phone. So... No. what happened?"

Miku Kohinata has posed:
Miku watches the pair for a long moment, but then her eye catches a star twinkling in the night. "Mmmm, Hibiki," she mumbles quietly as she looks up towards the sky. "Where are you?" she asks softly.

Rising out of the crouch, she glances one last time at Alexis and Sakura, then decides the little girl will be alright with a friend so obviously caring. Even if he does seem a little weird. So instead she continues on her way down the street towards Flower.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto nodded and took his hand. "Uh huh! I do. Well, err... it's..." She frowned. Then leaned up and whispered the things into his ears. "I'm still trying to find out where they are, but I don't know yet. I haven't had any luck finding the thief and there's no telling what he can do. I... I think when I gave Hannah-sempai my magic... I think she gave it to this person so they could take the cards."

Alexis Raskoph has posed:
There's not been a lot of emotion in Alex's face since he got turned into a vampire. That has a lot to do with the fact that he can't really feel 'positive' emotions properly, and he is doing his damned best to hold back all the 'negative' ones. But after Sakura whispers into his ear, there's very distinctly traces of anger starting to form over his features.

"Tell me I did not just hear you right," he *growls* out even, without any effort in whispering like she'd done. Certainly Miku could hear it even with her turning away -- though the tone might be more audible than the words themselves. "About Hannah."

Miku Kohinata has posed:
Maybe Miku heard the growl. Maybe. The problem is, Miku's also heard something else. "Mmmhn?" she mumbles quietly, straightening and closing her eyes.

Somewhere nearby. Something wrong and out of place. Like a cacophany; the world out of harmony. Is it really here? Is it--

--a green tentacle lashes out towards Miku from the alleyway beside her, and she dodges aside suddenly, dropping her bag as she rolls in her Verone academy uniform. "Shit," she murmurs.

Scrabbling for her bag, Miku picks it up and starts to run, grabbing her phone out of it without hesitation. A one-button speed dial starts to make the connection back to the headquarters beneath the schooly, less than a kilometer away.

Meanwhile, that tentacle is followed up by a strange, arm-flailing creature in colors of blue and gold. Two more emerge behind it, each making the most disgusting and improbable noises as they squish their way into the streets.

The Noise has come.

Two of the strange creatures chase after Miku, arms flailing foolishly as they run. The third seems to hesitate a moment, then strolls towards Alexis, flailing its spindly arms as it walks. Nearby, another three of the creatures appear; these ones pink and orange with six legs and no eyes. THey roll their way towards Sakura and Alexis, their cacophanous noise growing louder as they draw close.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto blinked, turning to them and... "Oh! They look so cute and colorful and..." She paused. "Oh. Oh shoot this is a youma, isn't it?" She sighed and drawed out her wand. "Ummm, A-alexis-kun? Please make sure nobody sees, okay?"

She then let the key dangle. "The key that holds the power of darkness. Reveal your true form to me! I, Sakura, command thee under convert. Release!"

The wand formed in her hands and she skated right AT them. "Jump!" she called, leaping over them and letting out a shrill whistle. "Hey, over here!"

She then spun around and raced right towards one and... it was apparent what she was planning to do.

She was going to kick its legs out from under it.

She had NO IDEA what happened when you touched these things.

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
One moment ago, Tsubasa was driving her bike towards the studio for a recording session. Then, the Noise. Being in the area, the choice on what to do is easy.

    "Imyeteus, Ame no Habakiri Tron~"

Bike and all, the transformed Tsubasa is making her way onto the school grounds, the blades on her feet extending to meet in front of her, giving the motorbike what is essentially a giant sword sticking out from the front of it. Then, she drives her way right through one of the ones going for Miku, focusing on protecting the girl her teammate cares about. Then she notices Sakura rush out to kick one of the noise, "What are you doing, you idiot?" She sadly does not have the right direction of velocity to stop Sakura.

Alexis Raskoph has posed:
"Oh."

Alex's reaction is... significantly more deadpan than one would expect upon seeing monsters of any kind, even more so... these things, here. He blinks his eyes slowly in tandem with Sakura's words, and he has only enough time to ask "You know what they are?" before she's skating forward.

"...I was going to say *stay behind me*," he growls just as he hunches over and stretches his arms downwards and crossing over each other at the wrists-- and the two limbs spontaniously get coated up by a spontaniously-forming, purplish-black substance. It's not entirely visible from past the sleeves of his hoodie, but his hands are clearly covered by it clearly enough. It's only a split second thing. And immediately after, he turns to sprint forward and after Sakura, one of his hands reaching out for her...

But can he make it with her already that close to the monster? He doesn't really even know what happens upon physical contact to them, either.

Miku Kohinata has posed:
For a split second, Miku's eyes meet Tsubasa's, and there's appreciation there. It should be Hibiki here, protecting her as she promised. But yet again, Hibiki has broken her promise, left Tokyo and maybe even Japan, leaving Miku alone to face the noise without her.

Tsuabas's presence is a reassurance, but the current wielder of Ame no Habakiri has never been big on comforting Hibiki or Miku, either one.

So she gives Tsubasa that look of appreciation, not because Tsubasa is saving her life, but because Tsuabasa is still here, even though Hibiki is not.

But then there's too much happening at once foor her to stay focused. The initial six aren't the only noisesome creatures, here. More of them seem to appear out of nowhere, little bloobs of ichor, creatures that walk on all four, some on just two legs. Within only a minute of the fight starting, there are dozens of noise here, all spoiling for a fight.

Miku ducks past one of the noise and keeps on running. Her path takes her right towards Sakura and Alex, and luckily so, since the girl's doing someth ing supremely dumb.

"STOP!" Miku yells, as she tackles Sakura away from the noise. "Don't touch them with your bare hands! Henshin or ranged powers only! If you touch them, you turn to ash!"

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto yelped, getting tackled and landing on her butt. "Ow! W-why did you--" Then her eyes went wide. "WHAT?!" she shrieked. Then looked up in time to see... the noise... rounding on them. "EARTHY!" she yelled.

The ground under the three suddenly rose up, sending them around ten feet into the air, keeping them out of reach for the time being.

"T-they turn you to ash?" she asked, her eyes going wide. "They..." She stared at them. She started to waver. Should she run? She didn't have her agressive cards anymore. They were stolen. Did she have cards to fight these? Did...

She then glanced to Miku. Wait, she wasn't transforming? No... she actually looked a little shocked. "Wait, you're not a magical girl, too?" ... WHAT? It was a valid question! Sakura met like, all the magical girls! It was kind of her thing!

She then had her eyes drawn to tsubasa. No, after what spark had said... she wasn't going to do that. Not this time. She didn't pick herself up just to fall down again. "Alexis-kun, see if you can get her out of here!" She might not have her attack cards, but well, Tsubasa was at least a good fighter. So she could support her. "Jump!" She leaped up and over, flipping through the air and landing on the opposite side of them, before drawing another card. "Shadow, bind them up!" she yelled before tapping the card. Instantly the shadows under the creatures reached out and, as if they were ropes, wrapped around the creatures limbs to drag them down. Now, it wouldn't stop them, but it would hopefully slow them long enough for Tsubasa to get involved.

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
"If you don't know what you're fighting, be cautious." Tsubasa chides Sakura, not even really acknowledging Miku much, as she stops her motorbike and gets off, the blades on her legs folding themselves back into place. Then, blue blades of energy form in the sky, and swiftly start to fall down towards the Noise, aiming to kill them as swiftly as the Noise could kill them. "This is why I told you you weren't ready."

Alexis Raskoph has posed:
"Wha--" Alex stomps his foot down the instant he realizes his target of grabbing is already getting shoved and tackled aside before he's made his way there, and skids to a stop.

And then the warning of getting turned to ash? That forces him to bounce back away from the Noise creature, too, and get some distant.

"Henshin only..." He growls under his breath, and peers down at his purple-black-covered hand. Uncertainty comes through now. According to Norie, his body is still, at it's base, human. Is this enough protection for that body? Even if it is-- it's only his arms. He can't reliably protect his whole body without outright charging it all with energy.

And that would burn more than would be safe for everyone around him.

"Tch!" So after the quick analyzis of his personal situation in relation to the surroundings, Alex decides to pivot himself into turning and bouncing over to Miku while Tsubasa's barrage of energy projectiles rains from above. "You," he grunts to the female Verone student, with his hand reaching down to help her up first. "Get on my back and *hold on*."

Could he fight these things? *Maybe*. Right now the only way he could reliably risk it is by attempting to fire energy beams-- but he is still not able ot project those properly. What he can do, at least, is get people out of the crossfire of Noise and Ame no Habakiri.

"Sakura! You too! Get over here!"

Alexis Raskoph has posed:
The purple-black substance from Alex's arms has been dispelled by the time he's made his way to Miku, too, for the record.

Miku Kohinata has posed:
What started as six is now nearly a hundred, as the glowing, brigthtly colored, incredibly aphonic creatures continue their almost robotic, mindless chase after the humans. Tsubasa's many blades of energy mow through the things, destroying several dozen in a single sweep. But there's still more; they're still coming.

Miku doesn't 'climb on' at all. Instead she just scowls at Alexis and points at the noise. "Man up! You've got a henshin, just punch them until they die! I can see the energy on your arms. Go use--" she has to cut off as a flailing tentacle from one of the noise attempts to attack her. Miku jumps backwards, ducks, and rolls, then bobs right back to her feet, yellow ribbon bouncing a little.

The shadows called by Sakura grab several of the creatures, pulling them together and squeezing tightly. "There! Punch those!" Miku calls, pointing at the collection, even as she continues running along the edges of the attack, dodging out of the way, but seemingly unafraid.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto gasped. Hundreds of them? Where were they all coming from? She didn't have anything to--

"Jump!" She narrowly avoided getting grabbed by one. She was used to one on one things, nothing like this! She took a deep breath before landing on a nearby street lamp. She looked over them... then... She chewed on her lower lip. She'd never actually tried it before, was it safe?

They might be over whelmed, if she didn't. And Kero had explained that it was, feasibly, possible. It just required a lot of magic. She let out a yelp as the lamp was hit by one of the creatures. "FINE!" she yelled. She drew two cards this time.

"Arrow, wood, combine your powers as one!"

She threw the cards together and then tapped them together. From the sky, great vine covered arrows rained down. Once they hit the ground, they began to expand, thorny bushes branching out from them, to bind and pierce more of the creatures.

"I... I did it! I... I..." She toppled forward, barely catching herself and rolling when she hit the ground. "U-ugh..." Her eyes struggled to stay open and her limbs felt like they were made of lead. But she hadn't passed out... but she was now a ripe prey for the creatures.

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
Tsubasa flips over and onto her hands, the blades on her feet extending as she starts to spin like a top, stretching her legs wide as the blades catch on fire, and in doing so she wades into the Noise, unafraid, perhaps even truly unconcerned, by the many, many Noise that surround her. She may not be happy with the situation, but at the very least she's in her element.

This is why she exists.

Alexis Raskoph has posed:
The rebuff earns Miku a *glare* from Alex.

What's with this girl?

Cue a sudden flashback to himself running, powerless, through a barrage of magical arrows, and another one of him playing tag with a giant dusk zone creature.

... That was totally different. Except it really wasn't.

"Ksh!" The german sounds in annoyance, before turning. "Don't come complaining to me after!" Though in spite of that being said, a... thin tendril of black has extended out from underneath his sleeve, barely visible even when there weren't a million creatures and energy explosions and fiery blades filling up visual and audible sensories as it is. It goes off... somewhere.

In the meantime, Alex's arms once more get covered in purple-black and he slams his right fist against the open palm of his left hand while he approaches a scattering of bound Noise. "I can't deal with this many in quick succession," he mutters. "So I'll play cleanup duty this time the-... Eh?" His attention's diverted right then by... Sakura falling down from the lamp post.

Oh no

In an instant, the boy's path of travel changes completely-- and for that matter, so does the pace of it. In a sudden, blur of a motion, he charges his way through a collection of the creatures, weaving past most, but with a loud "ORA!" two of them that had closed in on Sakura by then are suddenly sent smashing down into the pavement hard enough to crack the asphalt. And this leaves Alex standing there, hood flipped back by the momentum, hunched over with his fists briefly extended down from the rebound.

The stillness lasts for only a quarter of a second, though, before he continues forward again-- he doesn't even stop by Sakura, but he does reach his arm down to straight yank her up from the ground and hoist her over one shoulder.

"Dummy! What are you doing pushing yourself after what happened to you before, huh?!"

Miku Kohinata has posed:
Tsubasa continues to clear out swaths of the creatures with little trouble. She's a pro at dealing with the noise, and well equipped to handle them with her sword's song. Sakura's own improvised attack does relatively well, squeezing and crushing and piercing the noise until they pop into layers of ashy rock. Even Alexis finds that his dark-powered punches have no trouble destroying the noise, turning them into bits of rubble.

Only Miku is powerless, here, and she squeals in concern as one of the noise corners her. The green-haired girl grimaces and waits for the right moment, then snap-rolls to the side, tumbling away from the noise, then scrabbling on all fours until she's back near Tsuabasa.

She survives. Barely.

Back to her feet, Miku takes a quick look around, then puts her phone to her ear. "Genjuuro-sama," she says, panting only a little, "need a cleanup crew just outside of Verone. About a h--eek!" she ducks back again as another of the noise attacks her, then rushes towards her bag. "About a hundred Noise, but they're handled."

Someone responds, and Miku puts the phone away.

As the noise start to dwindle, Miku has to do far less running and dodging, and eventually the heroes have the upper hand. Soon, there are only a few left, easily mopped up.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto laid there, shaking her head. "I... I'm fine. I just... just need a moment to..." And then shook her head. "I-I'm fine!" she yelled, trying to pull free from his arms. "I-I can... I can handle this!" No, she really couldn't. She could barely stand after that. She wouldn't be able to get free from him unless he let her go. "I need to... I need to help I... I'm not..."

But... they were almost gone. She stared for a moment, then closed her eyes and went still against him. "I... I have to help if... if I'm needed," she whispered, her voice low and helpless. "I can't... can't keep being carried..." she whispered.

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
Tsubasa flicks back up and rushes with sword in hand to take care of the remaining noise, hyperfocused, confident, and the clear image of capability. This is what she does. And when all the Noise are taken care of, she stops near Sakura and kneels down. "Give up." She answers, coolly, and then she starts to walk towards her motorbike at a casual, relaxed pace.

Alexis Raskoph has posed:
"It's not a contest, girl!" Alex growls at Sakura while he speeds through the place just for the sake of keeping her out of immediate danger, for the time being. Not that it lasts for very long, what with Tsubasa's overwhelming power sweeping through the Noise.

At the end of it all, does he allow himself to slow down-- but he doesn't let Sakura down, not yet.

He *does* toss a glare after Tsubasa, though, after which he murmurs to the considerably younger girl, "Don't listen to her," while his free hand reaches up to tug the hood back over his head again.

And it's towards Miku that his footsteps take him. "Oy," he calls to her, before coming to a stop nearby. "You have people coming here, right?" He asks for the sake of confirmation-- but before he even gets one, he lowers himself down to one knee, and carefully brings Sakura down, setting her sitting there.

"Look after her."

That done and said, he pushes himself up to both feet again, and starts turning away.

Miku Kohinata has posed:
Miku stares at tiny, exhausted Sakura worriedly. "Geeze, little one, you look so tired." She glances at Alexis, then nods her head affirmatively. "Mm, cleanup crew to get rid of the debris," she says.

She glances past him to Tsubasa, whose snide remarks she's more than grown used to, then looks back to Alexis. "Who are you? I recognize you from somewhere. And you've obviously got some kind of talent. Her, too," she notes, motioning to Sakura. "I'm Miku Kohinata, a student here at Verone."

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto is finally put down, but has to use her wand to help support herself. She clasped it in both hands, not totally spent but... enough. Using two cards at the same time was quite a bit to do to her star and it was still in development.

But she didn't fall, instead she regathered her breath, closing her eyes.

No. She wasn't. "N-no. I'm not... I'm not ever giving up! Ever, ever! I-I don't care if I get beat up, mugged, lit on fire, drowned, almost struck by lightning, frozen solid, almost stabbed or tossed off roofs!" ... You know, in retrospect a LOT had been happening to her in the last month. "I am Sakura Kinomoto, I am the card captor and... and I don't need some big,meany butt with a... with a fancy sword telling me what I can andcan't do! I don't care if you think I'm not ready! I'll make myself ready!" Her hands quivered as she tried to keep herself stead. It probably would have had more power to her little rant if she wasn't on the verge of passing out.

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
"In that case, I'm going to stop bailing you out." Tsubasa answers Sakura without any emotion as she pushes her motorcycle towards the road. She doesn't quite bother to acknowledge Miku, but she does glance towards Alexis. "Well done." And then she gets on her bike and reffs up the engine, ready to drive off if nothing happens to keep her here.

Alexis Raskoph has posed:
From underneath the hoodie, Alex sends another brief glare towards Tsubasa-- the outward compliment doesn't seem to be acknowledged. At least his expression doesn't change from hearing it.

"...Sakura," he says then, stopping in his turn to reach back over with one hand, and... lightly pat and ruffle over the top of her head. "One step at a time, kid. You don't have to get there in one day. You already did good today."

There's a further pause when Miku asks about him. He doesn't look back to her, himself, but he does stand in place for a few seconds to consider it.

"Alex," he eventually decides to offer in answer. That's a name that's been going around in rumors through Verone. Name of a foreign transfer student who smashed another student's face through a sink. And became a missing person not long after.

But, as if though to ward off any thoughts leading to that, he says right after, "Just some guy," and he takes one step away from the two girls.

Miku Kohinata has posed:
Miku frowns severely when Alexis starts to run. There's a van just pulling up, and a man rolls out with a big vacuum on his back. Miku reaches down to offer Sakura her hand. "Thanks, Alex," she says. "For trying to help me. And for helping with the Noise." She remembers the name well. She's pretty sure she knows who it is. But one does not accuse heroes of being jerks.

Instead, she decides not to pressure him into staying, and kneels down next to the tiny little girl who is so small she may not be able to ride on the kids rides at an amusement park. "Sakura-chan, is it?" she asks. "You said you were lost. Do you still need help getting home? I can call someone for you, or walk you somewhere if you need."

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto wiped her eyes and looked up at the girl. "H-huh? I... y-yeah. I... I do a little. A-and I don't n-need anyone bailing me out! I-I'll protect e-everyone from now on. I'll... I'll..." And then she just kind of... collapsed on Miku. Not because she passed out, but because she lost the grip on her wand, sending it scattering to the ground.

"I-I'm fine. I... I can do this. I... I d-don't need... t-to be saved anymore. I'll... I'll be s-strong enough that... that I can do it all on my own..."

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
And Tsubasa drives away, eagerly ignoring this whole messy and complex emotion stuff.

Alexis Raskoph has posed:
"..."

Alex stops himself again, just briefly, and peeks back over his shoulder, towards Miku, now. For the first time allowing himself actually look straight at her-- and let her see his face fully too, for that matter. "You didn't need my help," he claims, and so in time with the van arriving, he turns away fully again, and turns into a run-- and leaps himself up to a nearby rooftop in a superhuman bound.

Miku Kohinata has posed:
Miku sighs dramatically after Alexis. "Pretty sure I'd have died if he and Tsubasa," she glances down at Sakura, "And you," she notes, as she hefts the little girl up into her arms, "hadn't all defended me. But I guess some people are just like that."

Kneeling down carefully, Miku picks up Sakura's wand, then hefts the girl back up again. "Geeze, you're heavier than you look," she mumbles quietly, then turns around once to see that everything is accounted for. "So where do you live?" she asks, as she starts to walk in the general direction of Seishou Elementary. The girl mentioned that earlier, didn't she?

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto closed her eyes. "I... I can walk... I live down on... the street... of... huh?" she asked, blinked a few times, before shaking her head. "I... I can get home from... Seishou... I'm... I'm okay. I... I can... walk just need a..."

Yeah, her star was spent. She was gonna feel that one for a while. But hey, when she recovered she'd be stronger than ever! "Sorry... couldn't....zzzzzzz...."
