Who: Anybody
What: Zetsuborgs! Zetsuborgs everywhere!
Where: Anywhere. Teleporters exist and I'm flexible.
When: Basically any over the week.
Why: Because zetsubou

Somewhere, at any place in the world really, a bizarre event is happening. Par for the course really, but as characters make their way around today they might come across one or more strange little creatures. The tiny things are essentially a sort of lock with tiny hands and feet connected to their body by lengths of chain. And probably dismiss them as curiosities since they seem rather harmless on their own.

But however dangerous they may or may not be is irrelevant. All that matters to them is their mission. Their mission to hunt down strong and hopeful dreams and lock them away forever.....

[OOC: So, here's the post for Kirara's Incursion event. Details are here. Open to anybody who wants to get transformed, see or get involved with an NPC getting cause or fighting monsters. Whatever. It's all good.]

He probably should start fighting back, the cage holding Emi had risen further up into the air at least.

The monster wasn't shy about trying to attack once more, now that it's last blow hit Arthur and drew blood...

The sound of metal grating came next. As Arthur skidded back on his heels, his eyes found Emilia in the cage, unconscious. She was in his view.

That much was enough.

A streak of lightning scored along the monster's arm, against its spear and towards its head in one gesture. Arthur became a natural disaster in a flash, Excalibur drawn and ripping through the creature like a buzz-saw, spun with a dozen slashes that were thrown in that moment. Stepping off of the monster's face, Arthur turned on his heel and swung to rip apart the top of Emilia's cage to release her immediately after, diving down to catch her once she was freed.

Probably not the proper way to beat these creatures, but the effect was the same. The monster didn't even roar in pain, or thrash around... It only says "Dreaming..." falls over backwards and vanishes... Right as Arthur opened the cage... which also vanished.

Now, she needed to be catched.

Arthur didn't have time to think about the creation of the monster or their particular methods, but he was absolutely certain of himself when he attacked it. With an absolute lack of mercy, he pursued Emilia and caught her as the creature, which held onto her before with its cage, dissolved.

Landing in the middle of it, Arthur held her to his chest, raising his voice a touch.

"Emi? Hey?"

Emi had drifted from unconsciousness towards sleep, reflexively breathing now and looking peaceful... It might take a while before she wakes. In the end, she subconsciously knows she's safe now...
