Echo Incursion 01 - Jurassic Gateway (August 10th, 2016)

It's a particularly hot day in the Gateway City zoo. What else could you expect? It's not like it's not to be expected, it is the middle of August, after all. But there's plenty of things to see here at the zoo, and the visitors' center is air conditioned well enough.

Just a normal summer day in a typical summer vacation spot. Right?

Well, that's when things change. Those in the visitor's center would find the building changing around them. There's suddenly a dinosaur skeleton in the middle of the place, with the banner "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" hanging from the ceiling.

That's not all. The animal enclosures are now different. What used to be a pen for the african elephants now has very large, very long necked reptiles in it. A gigantic, meat-eating dinosaur just tromped its way out of the lion habitat it's too much too large for, and unfortunately for the people around it, its vision is based on movement. The monkey house? Well, those are velociraptors breaking out of it. The aviary? Now filled with particular aggressive flying pterosaurs.

These are just some of the creatures making their sudden emergence, and it's not long until they spill out of the zoo and into the city proper. Dinosaurs are now walking the streets of Gateway City.

Yes, indeed. Just a normal summer day.

This girl really planned on staying? Well, Alexandra supposed that she had proven she was capable of taking care of herself. Sort of, she still thought Rakka was kind of an airhead but that wasn't exactly her problem.

"Fine, I'll do just that. You go do... whatever it is that you do."

Lily nods a little bit. "It is, but... to tell you the truth?" She leans in a little bit, her voice dropping a hair. "It kind of makes me feel a lot better to know I'm not the only one really nervous. I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me, there."

She straightens up then, just in time to hear that screech. She swallows, and tries to calm herself.

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be. Be careful, and watch your back, okay?"

As Jasmine lunges into the fight, Lily can't help but have a bit of fear grip her. She knows her sister is capable, as strong or stronger than she is, but... It's hard. It's hard to just accept this as their lives again, it's hard to just watch her do this... But she still acts as need be. She drops to the ground, thrusting out her Moon Tact.

"Precure! Floral Power Fortissimo!"

Light bursts brightly around her, and she suddenly sweeps off the ground, enveloped in it. She rockets towards the raptors, racing past them, the purifying energy flowing through them... there's an explosion, and as she lands they're floating up, a spinning flower behind them. She spins and thrusts out her Tact again, rotating it.

Now, they may not be evil, but... she's banking on it calming their minds, for at least a little while.
alilyinthemoonslight: (Moonlight - Stop this!)

[personal profile] alilyinthemoonslight 2015-08-24 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
"If you refuse, I'll stop you," Moonlight says, quickly. "It's as simple as that, and believe me - I've fought and beaten a whole lot worse than you. That said, you probably don't want to be locked up by the authorities around here, so now would be a good time to rethink just what the hell you're doing!"

Okay, so even if she so rarely uses harsh language, Lily may be a bit less concerned about her language than Twinkle. There's something bothering her, clearly - a person capable of summoning a monster? That obviously seems pretty similar to Lily's memories of Yuri, although this definitely wasn't a Desertrian. Still...

"You could be costing people their lives by making us deal with your nonsense!"

"Things were more convenient when we didn't have to handle the cleanup, huh?" She grinned a little and then started off, stretching her arms out over her head. "Well, let's get this over with. Still got a lot of work to do."

... She could have sounded less eager to start fighting once more.

Honestly, there's a part of Alexandra that just wants to cut loose and try to take the both of them down. It's mainly because the both of them are so confident they can take her down. Unfortunately she's not a hundred percent sure she could take them both on at the same, her monster wasn't exactly winning against Twinkle on it's own and now there was someone else here too. ...She probably should have made something a bit more frightening than a shoe into a Nakewameke, she'll have to keep that in mind for next time.

It's about then that she catches sight of another group of people fleeing out of the corner of her eye. She smirked as an idea suddenly came to her mind.

"You don't know the half of it." She said in a rather smug tone, then she raised her arm and pointed toward the group of people.

"Nakewameke, attack!" And with the command, the Monster suddenly made a mad dash toward the civilians who were just trying to get away from some dinosaurs. If she was lucky, both the Cure's would move to stop it and give her another chance to escape. If she wasn't... well she'd just have to figure that out.

"Huh?" When the mysterious girl points off somewhere, Kirara follows the gesture and a chill runs down her spine when she sees where she's pointed. Another group of civilians on the run, defenseless, with nothing standing between them and the monster. ... For God's sake, there's kids in that group. "Are you serious?!"

... She's not a hero. She's definitely anything but that... but something like this? There's just no way she can simply stand by and let this happen.

Without even thinking about it, as if on auto-pilot, she's off in hot pursuit of the monster. She can't let this happen, she's got to stop it but... how? She can punch it some more but that didn't seem like enough to really put the monster down for good. And then everything seems to slow down for a few steps, that urgency giving way to an odd hollow feeling... and then she knows what to do.

Her eyes narrow in determination and she leaps, adding an extra boost to her run and her Key and that perfume bottle are back in her hands.

"Exchange! Mode Elegant!" She slams the Key home into the bottle, turns it, and it fills up with a shining gold liquid. She twirls in midair as she passes over the Nakewamake's head, surrounded by a nimbus of light from the perfume. By the time she lands, directly between the creature and its would-be victims, the light bursts out from her, forming into...

... into a ballroom gown?!

You bet your sweet bippy that she's staying here. Rakka has seen the invasion of the planet earth, and rode through it with only her wits, and a group of Magical girls at her back. She's going to stay here and save some poor people from some poor dinos!

"I will!" ...And she's going to give a little bow goodbye and rush off into the zoo. "Be careful!" Is the last thing she shouts over her shoulder, and then Rakka is gone.

"Ohh...." If they weren't smack dab in the middle of a battleground with dinosaurs running around, Rakka might have given Lily a hug.

She smiles, turning towards the threat and taking a running stance.

"You bet. I'll be right behind you."
charcoalfeather: (Is that heaven?)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2015-08-24 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Rakka was some distance away from the other two, keeping her won well enough, now that she had Fougere. And she knew that the two women could handle themselves, as long as they had each other.

Her fist hit another dino out of the air, and she shouted back at them. "You guys okay?"

Emi stayed close to Celine, ready to take out the dinos she had trouble with, now that Rakka was more able to fight back with her fairy with her.

"We're fine... Celine's only got a few scratches."

The raptors let out a screech as Yuri and her power hit them, and moments later, they're frozen, suspended in mid-air. Moments later, they're filled with an overwhelming, loving power...

... and then, it's over. They fall back to the ground, unharmed. But they're not hostile, and more or less laying on the ground in a dreamlike state, a happy expression upon their faces.

Jasmine smiles in relief, flying over to her sister. "That looks like it did it...!"

The shunpo is a surprise, as is Toushiro's youth. They've never met in person, so he's never had occasion to think about it: he's young. Would the top of his head even reach Cesar's chin if they were closer? More than this, should this kid really be out here on his own, where it's dangerous?

... Of course he should. He's clearly echoed back the skills and mind of a competent warrior, even if his body hasn't caught up yet. If this weren't such an urgent situation, Cesar would spare a moment to mourn the loss of this kid's teenaged years, since his future echoes will probably include the body and remaining memories of a fully grown adult. That's what's going to come next, right? He can't think of anything else that would accompany professional confidence like this.

{Thank you,} Cesar signs. Wait, is this guy going to understand him?

Not for the first time, Cesar regrets the loss of his voice. He signs anyway, watching the kid carefully for any sort of recognition.

{People are trapped. There were four more of those--} he points at the fallen dinosaur, {Back there.} He points back the way he came.

There's not even any question to what Moonlight's going to do in response, really. She offers the mysterious girl a bit of a glare, before bursting off of the ground, after the monster in line with Twinkle. At least, she does this until she flies right past her, as the yellow Precure slows down. She blinks, but doesn't stop - she continues forward, until she's ahead of the monster.

Boots hit the ground, and her heels skid back along it as she brings herself to a stop. Just as... Cure Twinkle summons a big, poofy gown?! She has a moment of wondering what bizarre sort of power she must be summoning, but... her body's already driving on instinct. As such, she drives right up into the rampaging monster, aiming to deliver a punch to its middle section, hoping to either slow it down at the least, or launch it back the way she came at the most - right into this new girl's path.

"Cure Twinkle! Now!"
alilyinthemoonslight: (Yuri - step off bitch)

[personal profile] alilyinthemoonslight 2015-08-24 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Lily nods, and finally begins moving again. At the very least, they had back up. They had friends. That their back up was their friends is part of the worry, of course, because she doesn't want anyone to put themselves in danger... but she also knows they have little choice. So, she begins to move a little more confidently, because she has to.

"Just keep an eye out, and yell if you need anything!"
alilyinthemoonslight: (Moonlight - Tense)

[personal profile] alilyinthemoonslight 2015-08-24 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Moonlight lets out a long breath of relief. She doesn't let her guard down, of course - there could still be more out there, but it's enough to give her a brief respite. She nods to Jasmine as she lands near her.

"For now, at least," she murmurs, peering around them, looking for the next direction they need to head. "I don't know how long we can keep this up, though..."

Alexandra returns Moonlight's smirk, then she'll turn to make a hasty retreat as the two Cure's go off to stop her Nakewameke. She feels it's kind of a waste to sacrifice it like that, but she's more concerned with escaping to fight another day. It's just a running shoe anyways, she'll make something better next time.

The Nakewameke on the other hand is continuing on with it's headlong charge when it's suddenly interrupted by Moonlight suddenly dashing at it and driving a fist right into it's middle. The blow isn't enough to knock it back but it's more than to slow it down to a stop for the moment. It'll swing an arm at Moonlight to try and knock her out of the way but it's completely unprepared for what ever Twinkle is planning to do in her new evening wear.

Oh, hey, Moonlight over there knows her name! It looks like she definitely made an impression the last time she ran into one of the other Cures, and she can't help but grin despite the severity of the situation. What can she say? She likes being recognized.

More important, is this dress! She doesn't know where the heck it came from, but she's kind of liking this whole superpowers thing more and more. It doesn't look like anything you'd want to wear to a fight but all the same, she can feel a sudden power rising inside her. Bright, and warm, and strong.

"Okay! Just leave it to me!" Moonlight gave her the opening, time to take advantage of it! Smile never faltering for an instant, she turns to the Nakewameke bringing her hands down around the star-shaped emblem in the center of the belt around her waist. "Shine, O' Stars!"

The emblem glows brilliantly and then flies up into the air, leaving a trail of stardust as it spins over her head.

"Precure!" One hand strikes out, catching a corner of the star and stopping it in place. "Twinkle Humming!"

And with a quick motion, she casts the oversized star toward the Nakewameke.

Diamond winces as she lands; that thing is strong. Strong enough to give herself and Lily trouble on sheer power. And that's not something that's happened particularly often before. Neither is the coming darkness that Cologne warns her about, of course, but... priorities.

When Moonlight springs to one side as the dinosaur charges again, Diamond goes the other way, bringing one hand below herself to spring back into readiness as she touches down, the other going to her side and claiming her Love Heart Arrow without fanfare. She slams a Loveads into it just as quickly, and when she lands, her momentum carries her a little bit further. Diamond begins to tap on the edge of her weapon lightly, the familiar sound of a tambourine ringing out over Gateway gently as snow issues forth. Creatures like this tend to charge in straight lines, right...? That's her assumption as she sends her ice straight into its path. Or, at least, what she hopes is its path.

The trike doesn't recognize the weapons being drawn on it, nor does it have any understanding of the words being spoken. Not that it would anyway. All it knows is the rage. All-encompassing, undeniable, and driving it to crush everything its eyes fall on. And right now that's the two creatures that struck it. Its side aches, and the tiny creatures are glowing with a bright light. It hurts its eyes.

Its charge doesn't falter when Moonlight's energy wave strikes across its face, although it does issue a pained bellow and squeeze its eyes shut. As a result, its feet hit the ice at full speed, sending it slipping and sliding across the surface. It doesn't quite lose its footing though and at the last moment, heaves its bulk to one side, attempting to smash into Moonlight with all its considerable strength and weight.

It does and it is. Marina's not actually too into it, but like, what else can they do? Let dinosaurs rampage? Nope, Marina has a giant robot. She's doing something. "Punch ones that are going after people, specifically. Leave the rest alone."
dragon_blossom: (smack)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2015-08-25 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Marina can't fix her hair. There is no hope. Her hair is now a big sloppy mess, and she staggers away, laughing, yet also really grossed out. "Okay, wow, jeez, I get it, you appreciate the help!"

Stepping back, trying to ignore the slicked-over mess, she puts her hands on her hips. "Maybe not get licked by all the others, yeah?"
charcoalfeather: (I uh...)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2015-08-25 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
Rakka has much of the same reaction, even if her hair is short enough, and messy enough, that it doesn't matter if she gets a gallon of drool on it. Oh well, at least they matched now. "He really does!" She frowns. "O-or she. It might be a girl."

Just going to continue to wipe that drool off her forehead. It's mixed success here. "Yeah... We should try not to do that."

"If we have to, we'll fall back," Jasmine replied, matter-of-factly. "I don't want to see you hurt, in any case. You or Cologne."

She looked over at the dinosaurs. "In any case, these guys aren't nearly as bad as the invasion..."

Lucky girl, not having Umi Ryuuzaki's giant blue hair to make a big mess out of. Marina pats the big dinosaur on the leg anyways, although she's sure to avoid the whole face portion of it. "Or girl. Maybe Jas would have a guess."

"Now, let's get a move on."
