OUTER ARMY

[whackatimeline.livejournal.com]

Group of Three: Umi, Clef, Syaoran

[li-xiao-lang.livejournal.com]

There was sand everywhere. Of course, Syaoran had known what they were going into, but that didn't make it any less weird. He scowled, shielding his eyes as he looked ahead, hand on his sword.

"They won't us get close," he said, referring to the monsters. "We'll have to fight our way through."

Group of Three: Umi, Clef, Syaoran

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

...How could a whole darn desert fit in a single apartment, anyway? Umi could hardly believe her eyes -- and nevermind she'd seen crazy amounts of Weird in her life, such a floating mountains and flying fish.

But her concern wasn't with the surroundings as much as with the army of freakies they were going to have to face to get the job done. Syaoran was right. These wouldn't let them have it easy. But she was ready for this, or so she hoped. The Knight of Water knew that somewhere nearby Hikaru and Fuu were surely doing their part. Considering how they said magic seemed to be the best bet to defeat this Dhaos guy, it was better to split up to cover the most bases.

"...No surprise there." Umi readied her rapier and stared at the crowd of enemies. "So let's see what these things can do."

Group of Two: Huey and Tsurugi

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

The rapid clicking of Sasword's claws seemed to synch with how restless the boy was feeling at the moment. Huey scanned the area all the while wondering just how a desert was compacted into an apartment of all places. With a heavy sigh, the boy unsheathed his sword and tossed the scabbard away, readying himself for the inevitable clash against the sea of monsters ahead of him and his partner.

"There's a lot of them." Huey swiped at the air a few times before resting the blunt side of the blade on his shoulder. "Let's go, Tsurugi."

Group of Two: Huey and Tsurugi

[sword-boy.livejournal.com]

Tsurugi followed Huey in complete calmness. Compared to his normal style of one sword, he was carrying one of his better swords in his off hand, and his Rider Sword in his dominate hand. While alert, he was keeping in a rest position with his swords, not letting himself become too stressed out by everything.

"Huey, numbers mean nothing to me. I stand on top of making armies fall!" Tsurugi started to smile at that comment. "This will be the second army that I shall cause to fall... Do you want point or to cover my back?"

Group of Two: Hanna and {...}

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Hanna wasn't a sheltered person, but he hadn't exactly seen much of the world. So it was no stretch to say that this was the most sand he'd seen anywhere in his life.

He would've been impressed if the circumstances were different.

Giving a whistle and a quick look around, he turned and smiled at Randall, squinting slightly due to the sand.

"Heh...wow, impressive, huh? Ok, we should probably get moving...I think we're gonna have a looooong hike ahead of us."

Not waiting for a response, Hanna started ahead, smiling.

Group of Two: Hanna and {...}

[decade-of-rot.livejournal.com]

Before he could stop to admire the many-sidedness of The City's universe and the unexplained questions provided by a desert within an apartment, "Randall" was squinting ahead of him and following behind Hanna. On hindsight, bringing his hat would have been a smart move. Oh well.

"It is," he answered simply, quickening his pace to keep up with the ever-eager Hanna. He let his newly-acquired crowbar rest against his shoulder and occasionally glanced around. But all this walking begged a question.

"...How do we know which way to go?"

Group of one: Ken Hidaka

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

He wasn't exactly used to working on his own, but sometimes, circumstances couldn't be helped. He'd spent time the night before making sure the mechanisms on his bagh nakhs would gum up in the heave sand he was expecting, as well as doing the same for the guns he chose to bring with him. The gloves might be his preferred weapons, but he'd learned in his time that sometimes, you just had to have a good gun at your side.

Scowling, he pulled his mask up over his mouth and nose, shifting from Ken Hidaka into Siberian. Time to go to work.

Group of one: Ken Hidaka

[whackatimeline.livejournal.com]

A large, bear-like monster appeared from the moving fringe of the outer army, jumping at him with little warning. Sharp claws lashed out as the creature howled something akin to a battle cry.

Group of Two: Meredy and Urataros/Ryoutarou

[riderjacked.livejournal.com]

[After what was a long day of searching for his pass among all the City garage sales, he had managed to find his pass with the help of Meredy and Urataros in his penguin costume. With that problem solved, they were able to hurry to the place where he was.

Ryoutarou couldn't help but just stare at all the sand, though. How could this even fit inside an apartment?

Oh well, it was time to get ready for the fight, since he was sure they had a long one in front of them. It was for keeping the City safe, though, and he wasn't going to let anything bad happen to the people in it. He takes out his belt, throwing it around his waist.]

Let's go, Urataros! Transform!

[And he passes the pass over the belt while pressing the blue button.]

Group of Two: Meredy and Urataros/Ryoutarou

[jackstoflirt.livejournal.com]

[Cue pretty lights and transformation sequence! Urataros does his signature pose which is too hard to describe so just look at the icon.]

Mind if I string you along?

[He glances at Meredy first...]

Let's go, Meredy-chan.

[...And then puts together his Uratarod and charges.]

Group of Five: TOP Crew

[closetpervert]

It's time. [The summoner stared out at their destination, determined. They were going to do this once and for all! With a swing of his arm out to the side, he flapped open his book and called out to the others.]

Let's go! Usual formation. Cless, Chester, keep them busy! Arche blast them with your magic but make sure you conserve your energy! Suzu, we're counting on you for support! [He starts to chant under his breath.]

Group of Five: TOP Crew

[whackachester.livejournal.com]

I'm on it, Master Klarth! Those monsters won't even know what hit them. ♥

[And she flies up on her broom, attempting to stay out of the monster's reach since that wouldn't be a good thing to get caught. She'll save the big spells for Dhaos, so all these monsters get are some fire storms and lightnings.]

Group of Two: Dean & Castiel

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Dean was loaded down with weapons. He also had sand everywhere which made sense considering their surroundings. He also had an angel on his shoulder. Not quite literally but there was one trailing him by a couple of feet.

He shot the monster running at them in the face a couple of times with his Desert Eagle, windmilled and stumbled a couple of feet backward and fired again.

"Having fun, Cas? Forget your popcorn?" he snapped as he sighted up again.

Group of Three: Yuri, Flynn, Judith

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

[Yuri looks around at the sand, a little confused as to how this could...happen, but whatever. It's a little reminiscent of the Sands of Kagorh. There are already a couple monsters heading toward them, hostile.

He then sends a grin to his companions.]

You guys ready?

Group of Three: Yuri, Flynn, Judith

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[ Despite the answer though, Flynn is already up front and intercepting a monster. You talk too much, Yuri. ]

Group of one: Shing Meteoryte

[weaponofheart.livejournal.com]

So it was time now, huh? Shing glanced around the hallway of Building 7, trying to see if there was anyone here that would try to stop him. It was all good, though, so he relaxed a little. He checked the condition of Asteria, his sword and buckler; as well as his bag of supplies -- okay, this was all ready to go. He was set.

Reckless as it was, though, he didn't want to see his friends and the innocents get hurt. It was suicide, he knew, going it alone. But he would rather take that chance and fight than do nothing and watch as this Dhaos destoryed and took away everything he knew and loved. He felt that there was something Dhaos was trying to hide, too; especially knowing that he'd been hurt by trusting others in the past. He hoped that by confronting him, he could at least try to show Dhaos that not all humans were bad.

With a deep breath, he opened the door and entered the Kingdom of Sand... and was immediately met with several dust clouds being hurled his way. He just barely managed to cover his eyes in time -- what was this place, the Shahera Desert?

No matter. He pressed on -- time to end this once and for all.

MIDDLE OF ARMY

[whackatimeline.livejournal.com]

Group of Two: Meredy and Urataros/Ryoutarou

[jackstoflirt.livejournal.com]

[Ura actually takes this moment to pause for a while and glance over at Meredy]

Are you alright, Meredy-chan?

Group of one: Ken Hidaka

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Still smirking from the last fight, Ken wades a little deeper into the fray, guns in both hands now. For now, he'll concentrate on keeping his targets at a far enough distance to shoot.

Group of Two: Hanna and {...}

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Hanna watched the monster he and Randall had been fighting fall to the ground, feeling a mix of triumph and pity. It wasn't the monsters fault this was happening...

Taking a deep breath, beginning to feel the side effects of magic use, he gave Randall a weak smile.

"Well...one down, anyway. Come on, let's keep moving. You ok? No limbs missing?"

Group of Two: Huey and Tsurugi

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

The initial group of monsters were nothing, though he knew that everything would progressively get harder the further they pressed on. Huey looked over to Tsurugi and noticed him looking a little more focused that he initially believed him to be.

"Looks like round two is about to start."
