I Mean It (Closed)

Tsukimi Sanada looked around the vibrant streets of Tokyo. It took her back to her earlier days of not knowing Bliss. They were good good times, but not necessarily better times. While her life felt so complex in those days, her cases so full of intrigue, Bliss and her entanglements had a way of changing just how Tsukimi felt about how simple her life used to be. She certainly never planned on going to fashion shoots to see a half sister she never knew about two years ago, but here she went.

Lanky, tall, and pretty in the right light. That is how Bliss had previously described Bliss. It was one of the nicer memories Tsukimi could think of involving Bliss. Tsukimi fit in more with the population walking around in a pair of jeans with a white t-shirt, a pair of glasses, and a purple knit toboggan with a unicorn face on top, complete with a horn sticking out. At least Mitsuko would be a nicer companion for conversation, even if the woman in the fashion shoot was once described by Bliss as 'literally worse than Hitler. For real'. "She is very- different than what I expected." Her focus did not last long.

A woman bumped into Tsukimi, moving in a quick fashion to avoid something- and offering Tsukimi no apology. It began to swell Tsukimi with anger. Polite anger. But, the time for anger passed when the woman continued unstopped. "Ichi. Ni. Ni. Si..." Tsukimi developed the method of counting to ten to deal with her problem with jumping to anger, and in most cases it worked almost well enough to call it making improvement. Typically, Tsukimi got angry around 'roku' when she realized she wasted five seconds counting. "Baka!" Tsukimi stomped her foot. "Baka! Baka! Baka!"

With the woman gone and no chance of consolidation in sight, a frantic plea grabbed Tsukimi's attention to see a tall mocha woman speaking with a teenager. "Baka? And, Mitsuko!" Tsukimi hurried over to her half sister, ignoring the mocha in the kimono. "Why's she wearing a kimono? Is she the one Bliss- you know, told us about? Um, I'm Tsukimi. Not Suzy. Do not call me Suzy. You are not permitted to call me Suzy." Tsukimi stuck a little too much emphasis on her final note to play it off as subtle, but a new arrival pulled her attention to the same direction everyone else went.

"Bad men." Tsukimi cracked her knuckles and pushed Mitsuko back. "I will take care of this man." Four more came up. And swords came out. While Tsukimi could deal with danger, she did not know if this would prove too much. However, she knew her sacrifice could allow Mitsuko and the others to escape. "Fight me one at a time."

A tree fell in the park and everyone was around to hear the sound it made. "Listen up fives, a ten is talking!" Adorned in a Star Guardian Lux outfit, Bliss stepped over the fallen tree, drawing the attention of the anything with eyes. "Mitsuko! Make more outfits like this. This is what fashion needs to- hold on." A finger sought to stop time between the fight. "I don't know what Uzma did to deserve this, but you cannot just threaten Suzy with swords like that. Don't worry Suzy, I got this."

Knightfall had always wanted to visit Tokyo. The technological haven of the world so to speak. It was quite the sight to behold, albeit rather crowded. He was only meant to stay in town until his assignment was complete, but it's not everyday you get to be in another country entirely. As he walked down the busy street, brushing shoulder's with the people who bustled by, he saw a girl who appeared to be in her early teen's running away from a group of men in suits.

Now this was either a completely normal occurrence in Tokyo or she was being targeted. He just assumed that this was for the worse. Knightfall quickly pursued the group of men through the crowds of people into a nearby park. As Knightfall entered the area the girl being targeted let out a scream and hid behind a woman in what could only be described as a pop-style traditional kimono. The five men in the suits stopped in front of the group of women standing in their way and brandished katana's.

Thinking quickly, Knightfall shouted from behind the men so as to draw their attention towards him. "Hey, why don't you pick on someone your own size," He pointed at one of the men's faces a look of false understanding on Knightfall's face. "My apologies Magic Mike, I forgot you wear XXL."

Sagittarius had arrived in Tokyo days earlier, the archer had been entered into a competition by a friend of his who was currently in the hotel room sleeping off the night befores festivities, and while normally Sagittarius wouldn't even leave the hotel; he had forced himself to get outside and exercise.

He had folded his composite bow into his front pocket, and stuffed arrows into his athletic bag which he would sling over his shoulder, only the tips of the arrows sticking out for quick drawing. He wasn't a paranoid person, but he felt safer in a foreign country with his weapons. This was a gorgeous Japanese day, and with the competition in 2 hours; he felt that some fresh air would do him some good. Wearing a baggy hoodie that said “Gamer at Work” with a console controller on it, and a pair of athletic sweatpants; he jogged to the nearest park and started doing laps around the park.

He sat down at a bench to catch his breath momentarily, when a little girl had run up to him in a panic. At first, Sagittarius hadn't understood. But when he saw her dive into a crowd with a group of women, followed quickly by men in suits brandishing Katana, Sagittarius moved in. A man began spouting off about picking on people their own size; then a joke about a stripper, which he had to admit was funny.

”I am sorry to intrude ladies, but it seems you need assistance.” Said Sagittarius who pulled his bow out of his pocket, and quickly pulling an arrow free from his athletic bag. He strung up the arrow and it began glowing with blue flames. ”I would be happy to oblige you in combat,” He said aiming at the nearest man. ”But I’m afraid I'm going to be in a competition in 2 hours. So let's wrap this up quickly, can we?”

"There's more of them." Tsukimi spotted one of the men lunge towards her, trying to take her one on one combat. Well, one on two. A helpful pull of telekinesis kept the Yakuza's blade in place long enough for Tsukimi to grab hold of the man's wrist and flip him over her shoulder. The, Tsukimi got a new katana. "I always wanted one of these. Let's see how it feels compared to a wooden sword."

"Time to be the point guard this team needs. Uzma, you're the power forward." Uzma would not like this. "But, I'm powering your rear." Telekinetically, Bliss would use Uzma to try and beat a Yakuza in a new fun way! First, she froze the area in between Uzma and two Yakuza, then she froze Uzma's feet, and finally, she threw Uzma forward, frictionless towards two Yakuza to knock them out.

Bliss got a little too into her Bliss dance and never saw the Yakuza waltz up behind her to knock Bliss TF out.

"Uzma!" Mitsuko pointed from the bubble. "Bliss!"

Knightfall seeing where one of the group, now accompanied by a man with flaming blue arrows, was pointing towards the taller of the two non-glowing women. He saw one of the men had moved up behind her and was about to subdue her. Knightfall shot one of his grappling hooks into the Yakuza's shoulder and retracted it, pulling the man towards the barrel of his Deagle. Which he then fired, exclaiming in a sarcastic tone, "You can thank me later. Or not, whichever helps your ego."

Sagittarius found himself in the middle of a battle, a battle he was sure he could win if given the chance. So, he released the arrow towards the tallest of the Yakuza, and before he could even see if the man was hit; - though guessing by the thunk followed by the sound of searing flesh, he had guessed that he didn't miss. - he released an unlit arrow towards another of the Yakuza.

"This isn't how I planned on spending my day, I hope you realize." Said Sagittarius as he moved back towards the women bow still held as he searched the area for more enemies.

Two shots kept Bliss from getting knocked TF out. It made Bliss feel good about herself. A complimentary thumbs up with a smirk showed Uzma and Knightfall some appreciation. Sometimes, Bliss just needed to give the team a thumbs up to keep their spirits up. And sometimes, the ground began to shake under the weight of calamity.

"Bliss, mecha." Tsukimi put her left hand under her right hand on the grip, holding the blade between her eyes.

"I got an idea."

Sheets of metallic plating lined the appendages of a hulking automaton making its way towards the bubble holding Mitsuko and the unidentified girl. The shards around its hands hardened and turned to claws as it approached with two red lights along its head locking in on the target.

Ice began to build up around Tsukimi's sword, bringing a smile to Tsukimi's face. "This will work."

Bliss nodded her head.

Tsukimi moved forward and swung her sword with all the might she could put into the attack. It shattered her katana. "What!? Bliss! You broke my sword!"

"You broke it yourself. I was going to freeze the mech first, then-" The mecha reached out with its hands, grabbing Tsukimi its its left hand and Bliss in its right, pinning them in its grip. "This is your fault!"

"No, this is your fault!" Tsukimi tried kicking the metallic hand, hurting her foot.

More mechas started coming to try and grab the bubble. And punch Uzma in the ass.

"What is this Iron Giant?" he shouted as a swarm of hulking mechas joined ranks with the Yakuza, which were still arriving. This fight was building on a massive scale at which he'd not anticipated beforehand. Then one of the metal giants pinned Bliss and the other woman. That's when Knightfall got a crazy idea. "Yo tin can, you ever seen Attack on Titan?!" Knightfall laughed as he picked a Yakuza's katana from off the ground and grappled the mecha's shoulders. Propelled forward towards the mecha's back he raised the katana and plunged it deep into a slit in between the head and neck.

As the Mecha appeared, Sagittarius realized something. He was fighting giant robots... With something man had abandoned for real weapons around 300 or so years back. He was fighting, literal metal monstrosities with a point-ed stick. Hopefully they hadn't learned how to defend themselves.

Sagittarius fired at one of the mechas heads with a lit arrow, it landed with a thunk as it stuck in a weak joint in the leg, and the metal started glowing slightly the longer the arrow stayed inside. Sagittarius was about to fire, when he heard fighting behind him... between his own teammates. "Hey! Do you guys mind finishing that fight up later? It'd be great if we could just handle this!" Sagittarius said before feeling a large metal hand grab him by his quiver, and toss him back into a tree.

He was knocked silly; but he wasn't quite knocked out completely. He would require a moment to get back up.

Getting grabbed by a mecha sucked a lot, but Bliss had a plan. She would freeze the chest of the creature, unleash a burst of telekinesis, then beat the robot to death with Tsukimi. She narrowed her eyes and took a breath. Then, the mecha lost its grip as the automaton split in half under the weight of a blow from Knightfall. "I had it!"

"Arigato." Without a sword, Tsukimi was merely a unicorn wearing private detective with good hand-to-hand skills. With a sword, she was all of those things, but looked way cooler. A Yakuza stepped before with a sign of coolness pointed towards Tsukimi. "Fight me fair, coward!"

"Suzy, catch." Utilizing her range, Bliss applied a quick grab of a blade telekinetically and threw the blade to Tsukimi. Perhaps a little too emphatically.

A quick move to her left allowed Tsukimi to dodge two strikes. Only one truly grabbed her ire though. "You threw a katana at me!"

"I threw it to you!" One blast from her hand to her blindside sent a Yakuza flying away from her, but Bliss needed defense from a different place.

"You threw it too strongly. It could have killed me." With the Yakuza turned around, Tsukimi locked her elbows around his elbows and flung him over her shoulder before kicking down on the side of his shoulder, shocking his spine to knock him unconscious. Her eyes turned cross to a new interjection. "How dare you call me baka! Or Bliss!"

"Yeah, don't tell us how to act! I was nice to you today for like five minutes and this is how to treat me! See if I'm ever nice to you again." Ice built up in front of a mecha charging Bliss. Before it crossed the threshold, Bliss detonated the ice wall, shattering the mech. "And bows are dumb. Are you from a time warp or something? At least Miri magic girl transforms. Are you going to do a magic girl transformation into something cool now?"

Bliss did not actually hear Uzma tell her to throw her. She just did it. "Thanks for the help and knowing how to keep quiet about things sword guy."

The mecha crumbling under his strike fell to the ground sparking as Knightfall rode it all the way down then proceeding to pull the katana from where he'd stabbed it like something out of a King Arthur movie. He laughed at his own thought as he then threw the katana into the ground beside Tsukimi. "I'm not getting you another one so you'll have to make use of it." Just as he said that a Yakuza took a swing at him, manipulating his adrenaline Knightfall barely dodged the attack. Following it up with a hard swing of his Deagle slamming the end of it into the Yakuza's head over and over till he felt it sufficed. He chuckled at Bliss's remark wiping the bits of shattered bone and blood off of the end of his gun, responding in a light-hearted tone. "No worries, and for future reference it's Knightfall."
