[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.]

[While Lightning works on that, Sasuke's hands have already flown into another set of seals before he's holding on tight to his left arm. That's before, from the top of the tree he's in, he rushes downward and towards the Cei'th as fast as he can, almost at lightning speed while his hand glows with white electricity crackling and chirping loudly, almost like a bird's song.

That's when he charges and makes contact, the lightning cutting into the Cei'th like a blade as he puts all his might into the Chidori. Whether or not it takes it down he's not sure, but it leaves him in close range and vulnerable to attack if it doesn't. All he can do at the moment of impact is hope that his most powerful technique is enough to finish it off.]

I'm okay.

[That's all he says as he's panting hard, letting those red eyes of his fade into black as he looks up at her. It takes him a bit to get to his feet, nodding and pocketing his hands when he does. It looks like she's okay too - whether she used healing ninjutsu or not, she looks unhurt as far as he can tell. Good...]

It looks like it's happened again, doesn't it? The same thing that happened last November.

beforethedarkness: (What are you doing?)
From: [personal profile] beforethedarkness
Yeah, it has. At least we have our powers back for it.

[Even if some crazy stuff is going down...]

That was a summon of yours?

beforethedarkness: (Pathetic.)
From: [personal profile] beforethedarkness
I see. So you have things like that there, too.

[He's nodding, pausing for a beat before he sits down by a nearby tree with a sigh. Chidori still takes a lot out of him, and he can only do it once more today... He'll have to be careful and make it count.]

I guess you could've handled it without my help.

... I couldn't just let you fight alone. It looked a lot worse than it was on the video.

[He nods, looking up at her and feeling a little unsure at that smile. It's a first, to see that... But it's not entirely a bad thing, not really. He's not sure if he likes the feeling, but it's not bad either.]

From: [personal profile] beforethedarkness
That's good, at least... Guess you don't have to fight them that much.

[A beat, and he looks to her again.]

Is that what your military does? Fighting those monsters?

From: [personal profile] beforethedarkness
I see.

[He's breathing a little easier now, pausing before standing and stretching a little. At least it feels like he's recovered enough to fight if he has to again...]

It's good that they don't appear often, then.

And you'll be okay alone?

[Not that he's offering to go with her, but... After that last transmission, he doesn't exactly want to take any chances either. Even if he has difficulty admitting it... Well, he's worried, okay?]

You don't have to fight alone if you don't want to.

[Shut up Lightning, he is not growing up what are you talking about...

Okay maybe a little.

But he's looking at her again, relaxing just a little before he nods to her.]


Fine, but call if you get in trouble. It's not going to take much longer for me to recover and I'm a lot faster when this place isn't messing with my chakra.

From: [personal profile] beforethedarkness
... Yeah. I promise. I'll let you know if something happens and if it's too much for me to handle.

[He'll look her in the eye when he says it too, nodding again before he gets to his feet. He's probably not well enough to run yet, but he can at least stand and rest against the tree for a while. That and he still has his pokémon if need be...]

From: [personal profile] beforethedarkness
Same goes for you.

[Maybe some things, but he hasn't learned all that he's wanted to. Still, he's surprised at the look and doesn't do a good job of hiding it, standing there and staring after her for a bit before he regains himself enough. He still has to keep moving himself, too. There's no point in just staying there.]
