The 6th Storm [4th Wall 6; Video/Action for Ilex Forest]

[soggypastry]

[The feed clicks on suddenly and to harsh breathing, Lightning white as a sheet and her shoulders heaving as she is clearly trying to catch her breath. There's loud roaring in the distance somewhere behind her, and she casts a glance over her shoulder and the tree she's bracing herself against, before she returns her attention to the camera.]

If anybody's watching this, stay out of Ilex. There's something in here that won't hesitate to kill you. I think I've almost got it down, but--[Whatever else she's going to say gets cut off as she whirls around, just in time for the camera to catch this cleaving the tree just above her head, and she goes down with a cry of shock. The gear clatters to the ground in time to see her scramble as the creature roars, clearly trying to cut her down the middle with that sword.

But it doesn't get the chance. There's a tremendous crack and a different kind of roar, the roar of thunder, right as a bolt of lightning crashes down on the monster as if the heavens themselves just launched a bolt down at the horrid thing, before everything glows a rosy pink and rose petals drift through the air. The gear vibrates, shaking wildly until it spins and the angle changes to show the creature roaring in anger as it faces down something it wasn't expecting.

A target that fights back.

In the ensuing battle of blades and lightning, the gear shuts off when someone, or perhaps something, steps on it. Lightning might not be coming back for that gear for a while.]

[In the midst of the landscape-altering battle several arrows hit their Cei'th mark in rapid succession. It's punctuated by a worried tone from a girl clearly related.]

Lightning! Think you could use a little extra backup?

[She can worry about how she got here, why Lightning is here, where Noel is, and the surprise of exactly how well placed her arrival was later. Fight now, questions later.

She takes aim again, ready to move.]

Light!

[In the middle of that chaos, there's a burst of green leaves and golden flowers over Lightning's head - a Curaga spell.

At first its source isn't obvious, until something comes crashing through the trees. Ven's keyblade glider swoops in through the canopy overhead, shimmering into his familiar weapon as he hops to the ground near his favorite pink-haired soldier]

Are you okay?

[Well if that doesn't spring him into action...

He doesn't know how, but he's in the dense and dark forest soon enough. It doesn't take him long to hear the clash either, something that Sasuke darts through the trees towards - something made simple with the presence of his chakra. His sharingan is flared as he races forward, and when he finally catches sight he stays hidden in the trees. Lightning's okay, but for how long?

He only has one shot, and he knows it. When the opportunity comes -- when the monster and the monster alone can be his target -- he throws several shuriken and kunai, hoping to grab its attention and force it to turn around before his hands fly into all too familiar seals. This, hopefully, will end with it taking a massive fireball to the face.]
