The Destined Hosts Operation In Tokyo Japan 240501

In the frostbitten tundra near Tokyo, Japan, a tale of strategy, allegiance, and mystical forces unfolds as a group of fierce combatants takes on a formidable mission: to intercept and secure a critical asset. As the grey clouds loom overhead, signaling the dawn of an epic confrontation, the air crackles with the anticipation of battle. Among the warriors, Autumn conjures a shadowy veil, signaling the commencement of their audacious endeavor. With the battle lines drawn, allies Selina, Meridith, Autumn, and Viktorin rally against the shadows and stone, their resolve as unyielding as the frigid winds sweeping across the barren landscape. In a display of valor and prowess, they navigate the treacherous terrain, engaging Destined Host soldiers in a relentless dance of steel and sorcery. Shots fired by Viktorin and Harriet chip away at rock formations, a metaphor for the slowly crumbling defenses of their enemies.

As the conflict escalates, the air thrums with the power of ancient incantations and the whistle of flying arrows. Selina, wielding her spells with icy precision, and Meridith, with her unwavering bow, turn the tide, striking fear into the hearts of their adversaries. The companions rally around their mystical cause, inching closer to their elusive quarry amidst exchanges of parries and strategic thrusts. In a climactic flurry of action, the group converges on the extraction point, their camaraderie and shared might dispelling the looming threat of defeat. Amidst the chaos, a glowing salamander with fiery wings emerges as a beacon of hope, its presence symbolizing the forging of new alliances and the dawning of unforeseen powers. As the final Destined Host soldier fades into the nightmarish ether, the Balanced&Corrupt Alliance emerges victorious, their spirits unbroken and their resolve strengthened by the fires of adversity. In the end, it is their unity and shared vision that propels them beyond the confines of the battlefield, towards a future rife with possibility and the promise of battles yet to come.

Viktorin shrugs a little, admitting, "We have to be cautious for this one. We're outnumbered. And out-gunned, relatively."

Viktorin says "And I still need to get a longsword"
Harriet nods to Viktorin, "Yes, indeed." Especially about that last part.

Selina finishes her flurry of spell flinging toward the host and watches Meridith get the drop. She nods then and ducks back into the cover of depression. "When she gets back, we just have to survive long enough to get out of here," she says from behind her gas mask.

Selina says "And just in time for the next wave... Hurry Meri!"
Meridith charges toward depression.
Meridith nods. "Sorry, I know having it early can be a risk, but with the distance between us and cover, this is our best option."

Viktorin admits, "We're gonna have to concentrate fire on Meridith when she comes this way."

Autumn says "Good job, Ifrit."
Harriet takes a moment to consider Viktorin's question and to provide it with an honest answer, which is... plain and simply, "No." Then she peers over at her comrade for a moment before shaking her head and repeating, "No," before looking back out towards the east.

Viktorin clicks his tongue, "I've felt alone these days. And when I'm alone, the world gets grey. And snowy. And I'm back in that forest..."

Selina helps finish off the latest wave and looks out across the way again. "Watch Vik and Harry this next wave. Regardless of how we are doing, when the timer is almost up, Meri, get that out of here," she says as she steps back into cover. She tucks away her rapier again to prepare to do spells again for the next wave.

Meridith says "When the time is up. I will go."
Autumn says "On it."
Harriet mms, following what Viktorin is claiming. "I would imagine so. However, there is a simple way to reverse that," she says to the Czech. "Can you guess how?"

Selina says "I don't envy them the position of this field. I would be reluctant to charge our position from theirs."
Meridith says "I would do it knowing I faced defeat."
Meridith says "Harry is more prudent"
"I like Harry. She has spirit and a keen mind. But Vik is impulsive. If he is leading today, they will surely charge," Selina says to the others in her cover, with her eyes focused on the Orderites. She gives them a small, sporting nod, but says, "Hopefully, this will give us what we need to put down roots in Tokyo with some that revere dragons more properly."

Selina says "Incoming. "
Meridith says "Final thrust."
Harriet looks intrigued quite suddenly.

Meridith says "Do or die...?"
"I'm going to try to check in with Tabs, I guess?" Viktorin intones softly, scratching his neck. "It's been a while since I've heard anything from that neck in the woods." Turning his gaze towards the battle-field, the demigod glances to-and-fro, between the Warden and the rest. "Mm? No. My brain's mush after all those mental gymnastics. Do you know how hard it is to try and give Rem something valuable enough to stall, but something she's too stupid to understand?"

Selina says "I do not know what that means."

Harriet makes a slight 'hrm' sound as she keeps her hazel eyes on each a Destined Host soldier with sigil-etched weaponry in the distance, but those guys really seem to be into the dragon people today, so she relaxes again and listens to Viktorin. "Yes, perhaps you should check in. I do believe he is still around, as Jeanine was talking about him just last night..." She winces a bit at the fight going on, far in the distance. There's a smirk over about what Viktorin says at the end there. "Well, the trick is ... is to build good, strong friendships with good, strong people, so that you can keep yourself accountable, and grow in trust with one another, and not be alone."

Selina says "Get to the point. We have this."
Harriet gets prepared for the absolute worst now.

Meridith says "I can't, it's not open yet."
A nearby object suddenly flings itself into Viktorin.

Harriet admits, "If they wait too much longer, they will get overrun." Then she murmurs, "Please wait, please wait, please wait," as if she could speak this very thing into existence.

Autumn says "Less than three minutes left."
Meridith...hmmms and then throws a rock at Viktorin's head.

Selina draws in a breath behind her mask to let it out as a sigh. She watches the small attack against the Orderite and shakes her head. "You two are so much alike, it is adorable you are not a couple," she says teasingly from behind her mask.

Viktorin lifts his rifle, aiming down his sights. "Chief, I think the situation got blown out of hand. I admit, some shit I did was awful. But some of it, was also turned and twisted into pointless dramatic bullshit. And the other half was some exercise of someone trying to exert control over me. I'm not having it. Stand for what you believe in? Or cower and let someone walk over you?"

Meridith says "That's the rudest shit anyone has ever said to me!"
Meridith scowls at someone.

Meridith scowls at Selina.

Meridith runs towards the extraction point.
Autumn says "Over here!"
Viktorin says "They're trying to bait us?"
Selina says "I mostly said it to irritate him when he reads the report."
Meridith snorts.

Selina says "Incoming! "
Meridith runs towards the extraction point.
Autumn moves protectively towards Meridith.
Viktorin says "Uh... "
Meridith runs towards the extraction point.
The Balanced&Corrupt Alliance has proved victorious.
