>Hey, someone's fighting invaders without us! Not cool!
>Get over there!
>You've got first dibs on any hostile alien force! It's in your hero contract. Somewhere.
>You drop down to a lower altitude, followed by Kogasa and Fuu. Gordon and Thursday descend as well, but remain a little above you and to your left.
>"I'm going ahead." Hatate says quickly before going from your speed to 'gone in a flash' in the blink of an eye. Even left her aide behind. Bloody tengu...
>"Great galaxies!" Gordon exclaims.
>"It's a tengu thing." Kogasa supplies to him.
>The images of the battlefield begind to unfold as you draw in closer. There are distinct humanoid shapes in the air- you recognize the forms of both the residents of the Myoren temple and the followers of Toyosatomimi no Miko, though there are several you cannot identify at this range. There are also at least two dozen figures riding.... Very odd looking metal things. They look almost like motorcycles without wheels. Several types of energy discharges are coming both rider and machine, all directed at either the myoren crew or the unidentified figures. None at the Taoists, as near as you can determine. Likewise, the taoists do not seem to be battling the riders.
>From the center of the black cloud hanging over the temple, a large, brilliant beam of yellow energy descends towards the ground, embedding itself into the temple, penetrating its roof. You find this beam hard to look at it. Not because of its brightness, but something about it scares you. You can't place what.
>Before you draw close enough to make out individual characteristics of the people involved on either side, an explosion of red light erupts from the ground, scattering a group of four humanoids that had been engaged in battle, sending them hurtling at high speeds. One of them, seemingly a girl with curly hair and brown clothes, rockets in your direction!
