The Challenge From Beyond - Regroup

[cityship]

You're the ones who are good enough (or lucky) enough to be close to Escherville. You've had the good fortune to be scooped up and now you need to regroup and get ready to take on the Nightmare King himself. Time to reorganize and gear up as best you can with what you've got. The Nightmare King isn't going to wait for you.

Get moving.

_{((OOC: This is for the various groups/peoples who will be fighting the Nightmare King directly or assisting in that endeavor. If your character was in one of the Challenge from Beyond Groups, tag them in here! Feel free to do some tagging back and forth and enjoy yourselves. Please get tagged in by Tuesday night, March 2nd though, so we can get the Final Fight properly organized. ))}

Rein was dusty, dirty and naked. But she was definitely flushed from the battle. Her weapon slung over her shoulder, she was trying to get into the mindset to conjure up her usual battle gear. "Is it too much to ask for a plantsuit?" she asked the air.

But there was no answer and Rein grumbled as she stabbed the weapon into the ground, awaiting the rest of her team.

"Rein-chan!" A voice called out. The device would soon see a familiar face - Vivio. Having finally escaped her little dream world, the child and her Device gladly rejoined her friend.

"Rein-chan, are you okay? Have you seen Nanoha-mama and Fate-mama yet?"

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Vivio-chan!" exclaimed Rein, moving to hug the girl. She shook her head, worried. "No, I haven't seen Nanoha-san or Fate-san yet. I'm getting worried."

She rubbed the girl's back in assurance. "I'm sure they'll come out soon. We've got some good friends helping each other." A pause. "You wouldn't happen to have a space plantsuit on you would you?"

"Ahh... s-sorry, don't have one...!" Vivio said, blushing a bit. A shame her Barrier Jacket was too short of Rein, though... "You think you can transform to get your usual gear?"

As she talked, Sacred Heart looked around, noticing the others gathering. Are they the ones preparing to deal with this thing? How did IT get involved?!

Rein giggled a little and rubbed her head. "I'm trying to focus. Let's see..."

She closed her eyes and magic started to play across her body--and then halted as she blinked. "Augh, halfway? Grr..."

Squeezing her eyes shut, the device felt a few pieces of clothing materialize; gloves, belt, boots, her thigh high sock... Opening her eyes she scowled. "I don't know what's wrong with me Vivio-chan, I think my concentration is completely shot! I'm sure I can unison but getting something easy like my outfit to materialize is beyond me right now."

[notsaintkaiser.livejournal.com]

"That's not good..." Vivio said. Looking up at Sacred Heart, the Device returned the gaze and nodded. "Let's try this... Sacred Heart, set up!" A bright flash of white light and Vivio was in her adult form and transformed. "Hmm... I'm alright, but..."

She closed her eyes trying to think.

"...I think we're not fully out of the woods yet, Rein-chan. Perhaps we should unison... or at least find someone who'd need the unison more."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

Rein nodded. "Let's unison so we can get used to it first so it won't feel awkward when we have to do it again later or whatever. I get the feeling we're going to be bouncing from person to person."

She held out a hand for Vivio to take as she moved to embrace her. "Go ahead Vivio-chan!"

[notsaintkaiser.livejournal.com]

Vivio nodded as she took Reinforce's hand. "Right. Unison... IN!" Like in their earlier dream, the two fused together, Vivio's hair turning light blue, though her Barrier Jacket's blue highlights turned yellow with the bodysuit turning white.

"There... that works great...!" Vivio said. She wasn't going to mention it at the moment, but she needed it - for some reason, it seemed like what physical strength she had was weakened. She might have to go into ranged combat if need be.

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it works nicely!" exclaimed Rein from within. "Good, our unison is just as strong as it was back in that nightmare of ours."

She gave a few tentative flexes and then willed up her own transformed state. "Perfect! Now I'm fully clothed again."

Summoning her book, she thought for a minute as she flipped through pages. "What kind of spells do you think we'll need for this engagement?"

[notsaintkaiser.livejournal.com]

"...that's a good question. I would think something long ranged for this." Vivio said, thinking. She had a point, though. She wasn't sure what they were going to deal with and charging in like an idiot wouldn't be the way to go.

"I just hope we're not the only ones in this..."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"True. Considering how many people we're fighting alongside with, long range spells may be used in the first volley or so." said Rein, nodding. "We should be able to jury-rig a few attacks like Crossfire Shoot and Divine Buster of course."

Rein smirked. "And of course, if you're up for it and we have room, we can always use some of Hayate's spells too."
