Synopsis: There's a storm in Tomoeda! It's a big one! Can Sakura and her friends deal with it?!
Cast of Characters: Maya, 43, 162, 172, 560, Ayako Hasekawa, 623


Sakura Kinomoto (172) has posed:
    It's a beautiful, sunny day in Tomoeda - although as it's the middle of winter, it's still rather cold. Sakura is, currently, sat in her office at the city hall, working. ... Yes, seriously. She's got a government job. It's a thing.

    She's asked Zephyr to help her scope out the city for magical disturbances, because she's still feeling the effects of some mild Mana Burn from defending the Caves of Prophecy a few days ago. At least she's not so lethargic she's confined to bed, like the last time.

Zephyr Windstar (162) has posed:
    It's a cold day, but Zephyr doesn't feel it in her Barrier Jacket. She's stood for the moment, on top of a building, waiting for her Area Search to finish mapping the local sector. The six little purple wisps lazily float up and absorb back into the diamond-shaped gemstone capping her staff, before a spell seal forms beneath her feet. A similar one appears in Sakura's office before a flash has the mage transferring from one point to the other.

    A holographic screen appears beside Sakura, in her eyeline but not obstructing her view. "Here's sector 23... just a few more to go and that'll be the entire city. I can do some of the surrounding countryside too if y'like, Petals." she remarks, smirking as she leans on the desk.

Maya has posed:
Maya so here Maya is in a lot more caual dress she looks for all the world a 20 something and she doesn't seem bothered by the cold a simple warding spell had bene enough for her she does seem to be out in one of the ectors as well.

"Sectot 7's all quiet on this end..."

Emiya Shirou (560) has posed:
    Shirou's not really sure how he got on this assignment. But he sure did.

    It's a chilly day in Tomoeda, and Shirou's wearing a pretty decent jacket of his own. Not magical. Just a pretty normal jacket! And he's on a bike. An utterly normal bike.

    Compared to Zephyr he's almost completely mundane. So why is a novice spellcaster like him on this assignment?

    Probably because he's been shown to have an uncanny talent at sensing Distortions in nature, like those caused by magical fields. ... who knows if he's going to be that lucky this time though!

    But whatever. Without the ability to fly, or scan wide areas, he's doing this the hard way and with full effort: legwork. Or pedal work, in this case. Biking down the streets, stopping periodically and just trying to FEEL for anything weird.

Sakura Kinomoto (172) has posed:
    Sakura doesn't even flinch when Zephyr teleports into her office! Which is an improvement. The first time she fell out of her chair in surprise... She smiles to the older mage. "Thank you -so- much for helping with this. Eheh. I really should have done this earlier, but..." She rubs the back of her head. "Okay with Maya and Shirou we should be getting close to finishing..."

    Meanwhile, as Shirou bikes down the road, he may feel a faint... well. Distortion. The air feels -wrong-, somehow, similar to a large buildup of static electricity. Suddenly, a massive force side-swipes him, possibly sending him careening off his bike. Nothing is visible - was that wind? And did it just get darker? It's suddenly incredibly overcast...

    And then the rain starts. Sheets of hammering rain, almost like someone turned on a million faucets above the city. The rain doesn't pour straight down, though, the sudden ripping winds sending it flying every which way, raindrops hitting at such speed it could be mistaken for hail.

    A loud BANG startled Sakura - so much that she falls out of her chair. She rushes to the window, to see a tree has been uprooted right outside her office. "Wh-what the hell...? Where'd this storm come from?!"

Zephyr Windstar (162) has posed:
    Zephyr comes up beside Sakura, resting her right hand on the younger mage's shoulder. "I dunno, but we should get out there. Want a lift?" she asks, stepping back into the more open section and forming her teleport spell. "That's Shirou's sector, he might be in trouble!"

Emiya Shirou (560) has posed:
    "Wh-whauugh!!" The redheaded Hero of Justice is thrown from his bike and barely avoids getting scraped up by rolling with it. The bike rattle-clanks to the ground and is left with a wheel spinning. Meanwhile, Shirou's getting soaked as he pushes to his feet. The boy grunts and pushes up to his feet, only to start glancing around bewilderedly. The look of astonishment darkens slowly though as he feels the Wrongness behind it.

    "This storm's not natural...!" Muttering 'trace on' as always, he activates his Magical Circuits at full power. Just in case.

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako just happens to be walking around Tomoeda. She's dressed very warmly in fluffy light blue and is humming softly to herself. Why no, she doesn't know what Sakura and company are searching for nor is she even aware that they are searching for something. She's just walking around, seeming to enjoy the peacefullness of the suburb. Well, that is until the sudden gust of wind catches her attention. Ayako happens to be pretty sensitve to the weather, being a water spirit and all, and a sudden change like this definitely gets her attention!

    She quickly changes her route, and heads in the direction of the wind-and blinks her eyes quickly when it suddenly starts to rain. Ayako happens to like rain, but... this wind is far too strong! She shields herself with her arms and winces slightly as she continues in the direction of the storm. "Ah."

    Ayako spots Shirou! In time to see him get thrown from his bike even. "Shirou! Are you okay?" She makes her way over to him-slowly, though! This wind is way too strong!

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Kaiba is currently flying into the area, sitting in the seat of a helicopter. While he does have a better vehicle than a simple helicopter available, he only fields it as needed. This is, in theory, just going to be a simple fly-by. He's looking over the town, trying to decide if this place would be a good location to build a Kaiba Land.

     So far, it's looking good. Most versions of Japan have decent public transportation, and this place is no exception. Lots of people, and it's relatively close to Tokyo, as well.

     ...Most likely he'd have to force people out of their homes, or forcibly acquire some land in the business district, though.

     And then the storm suddenly happens. Hrm. He pauses a bit, looking out. That... Was incredibly sudden. Far quicker than a normal storm would take effect. And unnatural. He sighs. There is something more at work here. This is just a hassle.

     ...But. A good publicity stunt, like him helping with this situation... It might make getting a Kaiba Land here easier.

     "...Land the helicopter."

     The helicopter lands, specifically near some of the sections that are being hit the worse. His long coat floats in the wind, nad his Duel Disk is on his arm. He's ready to get into action.

     ...And then he spots Shirou. Hm. Him, again? While he presented some form of interest to him, the girl who was with him was /far/ more interesting. Still... Kaiba just chuckles slightly.

     "You, again?"

     Kaiba then just starts looking around a bit. He has no magical talent, so going with Shirou is likely his best bet. What is more, others are joining him here as well.

Rainbow Dash (43) has posed:
While Rainbow Dash had been technically off the clock for Ponyville's weather, it doesn't mean she's off the clock to helping a friend in need. Loyalty is never off that clock. ... Even if that meant having to sort of pull overtime when it came to weather work. When the word got out about the weird storm appearing out of no-where, the pegasus gulped down the last of her cider (Sort of a crime to waste good cider), grabbed her heaviest duty goggles, and hit the sky.

Who knew that the sky would hit back?

Dash is a streak of colors as she bursts out of the gate to Tomoeda, her scarf whipping around in the wind behind her. But as soon as she breaks out into the airspace over the city, winds assail her from every angle. Her wings beat at air furiously, struggling to deal with crosswinds from every which way. "Whoa!" One wind sends her twirling about in mid-air before she gets herself stable again. "What the hay!? This is worse than when we let Ditzy handle wind duty!"

Maya has posed:
Maya Says "All right then, I'll get movinging on the..."

the the weather goes to hell and is over powering Maya's barrier she's drenched in short order so we have a very wet and cold maya her cltohing dlings to her and she looks a lot like a drowned kitten at the moment. She doesneed to however get to cover as she takes amoment to reach for a hair clip and there's a flash of light her old clothing turns bright white and morphs into something far more suited than the rain. Maya hopes no one saw her. With tha tout of the wya she's now moving to catch up with /eveyrone else/.

Sakura Kinomoto (172) has posed:
    Sakura looks to Zephyr, then nods her head. "R-right. Let's... get out there and try to figure this out. Or at least, make sure no one's in danger..." She takes a deep breath. "Oh man I hope I can do this without passing out..."

    She takes out her Key. Incantation is performed! "RELEASE!" she calls... as her wand materialises in front of her. Phew. It worked.

    Meanwhile, everyone seems to be gathering around Shirou! The storm is very strong in this section of the city - a business area, so there are actually quite a few people about. Most of them hurried inside the moment the storm hit, so now the shops are practically bursting with people.

    Suddenly, a power line audibly -snaps-. All the lights go out, which makes it even -harder- to see what the hell is going on.

Emiya Shirou (560) has posed:
    "Rrrrrngh..." Shirou's only still upright because he takes cover against a wall, and then... starts seeing everyone else arriving nearby. In this weather. "Are you all nuts?! Take cover--" SNAP!

    The power line goes, and his blood runs cold. "...and stay away from the downed line! ... Geeze, this isn't normal. What's behind it?!"

    He's glancing about at the others with increasing concern. Well, not Seto Kaiba. Kaiba just gets a sort of sour look after the initial confusion.

Rainbow Dash (43) has posed:
Somehow, Rainbow Dash stays aloft in the storm despite the winds best attempts to bring her down. She clenches her teeth, wings beating furiously with all of their strength to fly forward. "Grrh, come ON!" Lights go down around her, making it even harder to see where she's going in the storm. Not that it phases her much, but even she's having a difficult time seeing where she's going. Which results in her flying right overhead the gathering, visible only because of the bright colors of her fur and mane.

And audible by the KLONG of her flying into a nearby flag pole. "I'M OKAY!" She shouts. Then slides down it to the ground.

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Kaiba /knows/ he has some cards in his deck that could help with pushing back the storm, at least somewhat. But, even though he can use the powers of the Duel Disk to manifest the cards in solid hologram form, he still has todraw the right card. And, sadly, he doesn't draw the card he needs. Still, his Poker Face remains on, and he doesn't let the others know he is a bit dissapointed. At the least, though? He has a good hand. His deck has to be made in such a way that it's /really/ hard for him to ever have a /bad/ hand.

     Still, though, as he plays his card, and as the hologram manifests it, it... Doesn't look overly useful. It's a woman in a brown dress, with long white hair. Her eyes are blue, almost piercingly so. The woman herself, though? She has no weapons. She has no 'Magic' attacks, either. She just appears to be, more or less, a normal woman as a Duel Monster Card.

     He speaks, announcing what the monster is, as per standard Duel Monsters protocol. "I play Maiden with Eyes of Blue, in Attack Mode."

     He looks to Shirou, and then the others. She hasn't met the others yet, though really, he doesn't care about /any/ of them. He has one question, though.

     "Does anyone know what is going on?"

     And now the lights are out. Great.

     That, at least, he /does/ have a card for, immediately. He plays it face up.

     "I play the Spell Card, Photon Sanctuary!"

     Two wisp looking things appear. They generate faint light. Not /adequate/ lighting, but still, /better/ than it was.

     And maybe it'd be a good light source to draw Rainbow Dash's attention.

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako slowly walks over to Shirou and takes cover next to him, behind the wall. "Eh heh heh... I guess I am kind of nuts to walk towards a storm. But still."

    She winces at the sudden -snap- and ducks quickly. Luckily, it really isn't necessary. But still. "You're right, it's not normal at all!" Ayako shouts out to get over the noise of the wind. "I wonder if there's anything we can do to stop it?" And then notes the lights going out. Pale blue flames wink into exitance around her-and then quickly get blown away and out by the wind! "Uhm... Hmm... that won't do..." She giggles awkwardly and then forms a ball of water in her hands that glows a pale blue. "Nngh... too much wind..."

Zephyr Windstar (162) has posed:
    Zephyr waits for Sakura to summon her Staff, then gestures her closer. "Gotta be inside the magic circle. Don't wanna leave any important bits behind." she teases. It's totally not true that only part would teleport, if any bit isn't covered, the teleport will simply fail to carry that entire person. Still gotta haze the younger ones a little bit!

    Into a roaring gale the Teleport takes the pair, and Zephyr is hard pressed to remain standing. "Damn it... okay, Dee, Mistral Form, Area mode!" she shouts over the howling wind, her magic flaring and illuminating the area around her in that deep purple glow. A small area around her becomes a little bit less turbulent, 150x150m in a hemisphere. Her Device shifts forms too, going from a large Great Ax to a shorter single-hander Halberd-like weapon. (Reference Image! http://i.imgur.com/5empGTd.jpg?1 Top one is original, bottom one is how it is now.) "Make sure the civvies are alright. Petals, is this one of your Cards?"

Maya has posed:
Maya is now far better suitef for the raina nd is able to catch up with the otehrs however things are getting serious as the power goes out and now she pauyses to look about. She gets the warning to take cover. She has a card out and is casting a lightning barrier on everyone near by whom will let her given the hazards they might be facing. She takes a note for a moment pausing as she watches Maiden with the blue eyes appears she pauses she knows whhere that is going. She suspects she'll see a dragon she's not seen in a very long time.

She takes note of Shirou and says "Humm so the question is just what /is/ causing this and if anyone needs support I can handle that."

With that Maya's going to help with the civilians for the moment.

Sakura Kinomoto (172) has posed:
    Sakura and Zephyr appear near the group! And almost immediately they get a lightning barrier cast on them courtesy of Maya. Sakura looks around to get a sense of where she is. "...Right, I can sense it here. Definitely a magic storm," she says, to no one in particular. "Okay let's try to calm this down. Calm the raging winds! WINDY!" she calls, as she produces a card from her pocket - much larger than Seto's trading cards, more like a tarot card than the more modern playing card ratio Duel Monsters cards use. She goes to toss the card in the air, then reconsiders and throws it directly in front of her. A gust of wind - perfect timing! - blows the card back at her, and she meets it with the tip of her wand.

    A yellow-green feminine spirit (with wings for arms) rises above Sakura. It spreads out suddenly into wispy tendrils of air... which promptly get battered and blasted away, the spirit reforming halfway through seemingly getting knocked back, before reverting to card form. Sakura stares in silence for a moment. "That... that should have worked..."

    Meanwhile, Maya is moving to aid the civilians! Questioning will reveal that in the case of an earthquake or monsoon, civilians who can't get home are expected to go to the city hall, the city library, the university, or the schools. There don't seem to be any emergency personnel on-scene currently, however...

    "One of my cards...? M-maybe, but, they shouldn't be able to beat Windy. I have all my element cards now, and nothing's stronger than them..." She takes note of everyone gathered around... then peers at Seto. She has no idea who he is.

Zephyr Windstar (162) has posed:
    Zephyr winces a little bit. "Whatever it is, it's battering at my Mistral Squall shield... I doubt I'll be able to maintain it for much longer." she offers. The spinning 'turbine blade' bits that help form and maintain the bubble are starting to emit sparks and trail wisps of smoke that quickly get torn apart by the wind. This is her element, but whatever force is driving the storm is far more immersed than the Wind Mage is. "If it's one of your Cards, that means its avatar is around here somewhere... we gotta find it, right?"

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Kaiba simply gives Sakura a glance. Well. At least, she is making a hint at /something/. This storm is magic. This is possibly caused by magical cards. And this girl absolutely has /no/ control of her cards.

     Kaiba just... smirks, and closes his eyes slightly.

     "...If this is the fault of your cards, you /really/ must not be that good with them, then. I'll clean up your mess, though."

     He holds up a card, lifting it to the sky. Who /knows/ what these cards are made of, for them to hold up in this sort of weather without taking damage.

     "I tribute the two Photon Tokens to summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. And, Blue Eyes! Shoot your Burst Stream at the storm, dissipate it with your powerful breath attack!"

     The two monsters vanish in a burst of light. And, suddenly, a large dragon appears in the middle of the streets, roaring up to the heavens. It lets loose a large beam of destruction. Likely not enough to destroy the storm, or at least, not /yet/. But yes, he's simply trying to burn away the magical storm.

     And then, he points at the card he summoned earlier. The Maiden with Eyes of Blue. He speaks, but not to her.

     "Someone. Destroy that monster. Now."

     ...Yeah, he doesn't bother giving his logic on that one.

Emiya Shirou (560) has posed:
    Shirou's just struggling with the wind at the moment. Without anything to fight he can only glance around with Reinforced eyes at the sky, trying to spot anything unusual up there. And that's probably not going well with all the rain. "Whatever it is, it's got more power than any magus I know! Weather control like this would take forever, I'm sure of it!" With magecraft it would, anyways.

    But when he sees that even Sakura's card is failing, his heart sinks. Now it is most definitely bad news....

    It's Seto's random order that gets him balking though. He's aware that he's using some kind of weird summoning trick but... "What?!"

    Seriously, he has a DRAGON here, what good is that plan even supposed to do?!

Rainbow Dash (43) has posed:
"Uh, you sure about that Sakura?" Rainbow Dash is sporting a bruise on her head when she struggles her way to the grouping. Only elites would be brave (or dumb) enough to be out in a storm like this, so it was pretty obvious where helpers were gathering. The pegasus flicks her wings back, folding them in against her sides to give them brief break. ""Because it looks like Windy got sheared!"

At least thanks to Zephyr it's a bit less gusty in the area. Dash pulls off her saddlebags and steps on one strap to keep it from flying away. From the bags she pulls out a bright yellow parka made for an equine and pulls it on, making it even easier to spot the pegasus. It also keeps her fur from collecting more rain and weighing her down.

"I'll go check out the clouds!" Rainbow Dash says over the wind. She's used to speaking over heavy storms to her team, but even her best 'storm voice' is having trouble with this one. "I can cut it down a bit from up there!" She hopes, anyway.

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako blinks her eyes quickly when Sakura and Zephyr suddenly appear. "Ah. More people!" She then quietly watches Sakura summon Windy to try to neutralize the winds to no avail. Her head inclines to the side as she thinks... and hears what Zephyr has to say. "An avatar, huh? Maybe something... really stormlike then?" She peeks out from behind the wall and looks around carefully. "Hmm... if only we knew what exactly to look for..." The rain around her will actually help her see! Although that still doesn't mean she knows what to look for...

    She then notices Kaiba and his cards summoning monsters. "Oohh... uhhmm..." Then louder, "Sorry, I'm not the attacky type!" Ayako then places her glowing water ball on the ground and cups her hands in front of herself. "Hmm... a barrier that can help with the wind and rain... I... Hmm... I think I have one for that, but..."

Maya has posed:
Maya humms is going to get to work on helping to make sure the people are able to get to the nearest point and she does pull out a smart phone, placing a call hopegully to someher that /can/ alert the police nd the like. Right? They should have means to keep in contacty even with power failures. For now Maya's busy directing things and she dods take a look over at Kaiba with an amused look on her face as the Blue-Eyes shows up. She forgot how impressive the Blue Eyes White Dragon /was/ it's been nearly nine years since she's seen one like that. She's got civilians to worry about for the moment.

"Ayako! LEnd me a hand if your not going to fight! Unless you got something else in mind?"

Sakura Kinomoto (172) has posed:
    If looks could kill, the one Sakura is suddenly giving Kaiba would... like, probably make him incredibly ill or something. She doesn't even show any surprise or awe as the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is summoned (although it is pretty impressive). Its powerful breath attack manages to punch a hole clear through the storm, and through the cloud layer, giving Rainbow Dash a good opportunity to get above the clouds. There's actually a calm spot a few hundred yards away... The eye of the storm, most likely.

    "If this -is- one of my cards, it's got to be the Storm card. The Storm's body hangs out in the center of the storm, so we need to find that..." she announces, pulling out another card. "...SHIELD!" she calls, conjuring a transluscent yellow shield around the group to aid Zephyr's failing shield. She calls after Rainbow Dash: "Good luck!"

    The people of Tomoeda are starting to get used to emergencies. They immediately comply with Maya's attempts to get them to move - after all, she's well-known as a member of the Union Elite Forces at this point.

    The hole the Blue-Eyes punched through the storm is starting to close...

Zephyr Windstar (162) has posed:
    Zephyr hears someone asking to attack an monster. She looks at the relatively normal looking woman, and after an initial pass from Divine Wind noting it's a hologram, a very good hologram but one none-the-less, the Mage shifts her stance. "Alright then. Divine Wind, lets go!" once Sakura erects her SHIELD spell card, Zephyr draws in her Bits, the pair attaching to the counterweight side of her axe, before beginning to spin rapidly. <BLITZ DRIVE. SET. MISTRAL SQUALL. STRIKER MODE.> Zephyr kicks up off the ground, and with a quick backflip to get some momentum up, she surges towards the Maiden of Blue Eyes, purple mana trailing from her Device's head. <MISTRAL CUTTER!> announces the Device before impact, the mage doing a little twirl to add momentum again. Unfortunately for her, the sheer speed of her strike sends her clear of Sakura's shield, and a rogue gust of wind catches her mid-air and sends her careening off into the distance, cursing the entire way as she pinwheels out of control. *PING*

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako blinks her eyes as Sakura's shield flashes into existance around everyone. "Ah... well... I don't need to worry about a barrier so..." She suddenly thrusts her arms forwards. "Reverse Current!" The rain being blown around by the storm's wind in Ayako's thirty meter radius suddenly stops in mid-air as if frozen in time for a moment... and then suddenly starts to move against the wind! In doing this, Ayako is trying to use the water to directly calm the winds the storm is generating in her radius! At least in this way she can help everyone advance in some way and not simply be at the mercy of the storm. Sadly, it comes a bit too late to save Zephyr from flying off!

Rainbow Dash (43) has posed:
"Whoooaa! Cool dragon!" Rainbow Dash says, grinning as Seto's Blue Eyes lights the sky. Despite being a small, pastel equine, she seems more awed than frightened. She then flares her wings out from underneath the parka, and gives them a brief stretch. "Now watch how a weather master does it!"

Dash pauses, glancing at Sakura. "Right, middle of the storm! Catch you on the other side!" Wings come down in several powerful strokes, and Dash launches herself out of the protective shields brought on by Sakura and Zephyr. Winds lash at her almost immediately, making her parka whip up behind her. The heavy rain pelting her pushes the parka down against her body in the next instant, but roll off instead of clinging to her like if she weren't wearing it. It weighs her down a little, but not too much to keep her from soaring straight up towards the hole in the clouds.

The sky is where Dash knows what she's doing. Winds shift around her, and she cups her wings into it, slicing into the gusts instead of letting her wings get beat around by them. Both forehooves are outstretched in front of her, tip against tip to break the wind in her wake. It's almost like she were swimming through the sky using her wings, propelling her faster and faster straight up for the break in the clouds.

Emiya Shirou (560) has posed:
    Man, what is Shirou supposed to do here? Not a heck of a lot. He's ot very little ranged ability, and in this storm? Just keeping balance is tough! Ayako's barrier does help quite a bit though, and he manages to catch his breath. "Why would one of your Cards be causing trouble though?!" He blurts out...

    Then,... Kusanagi appears in his right hand, and his favored compound bow in his left. Both form from a soft flare of golden power! Shirou quickly mounts the sword on the bow, and it actually warps and stretches into a more streamlined shape as he does so.

    Though he doesn't draw the string quite yet... instead he puts his eyes on the sky!

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     The Maiden with Eyes of Blue is attacked. But, it is not destroyed. Yeah, Kaiba was just testing who would hold back on a direct command from him. But still, the monster remains on the field. She has a wound from the attack, it seems, but still.

     And suddenly a surge of power around her. The power bursts forth, and a Blue-Eyes White Dragon appears. There are now two on the battlefield.

     Kaiba speaks, rather casually, "Hm. Without being attacked, I can't activate its ability... Which summons forth another Blue Eyes from my deck."

     Kaiba does sigh a little bit, though, as the only one who had potential to just kill something they hadn't seen before gets blown away.

     Still, though. He draws his card. And a small but noticable smirk appears on his face. Poker face? Gone.

     Ayako and Rainbow Dash are already workign to rebuke the storm. But, Kaiba is going to try to push it even further, through two methods. He puts forth his first card: a strange scroll appears midair.

     "I play Ancient Rules, allowing me to summon forth my third Blue-Eyes White Dragon, without a tribute! And then... I follow up with this card... HEAVY STORM!"

     He places yet another card into his Duel Disk. Though playing a storm card might seem counter productive, the storm that forms is working in the exact opposite direction of the current one, trying to counter it blow for blow. It /might/ mess with some magical effects in the area too, maybe. But he doesn't care /that/ much.

     "AND NOW. My faithful dragons! DESTROY ANYTHING ELSE LEFT IN THE SKY!"

     And the three Blue-Eyes each let loose a massive burst of intense heat breath, flying into the sky, aiming for the clouds, or anything that is /not/ an ally that might be left in them.

Maya has posed:
Maya is working at this point hopefully able to get everyone out o here while hte others are doing thier work she pause to think about if it might be one of Sakura's or not she's got to think on htat but right now she's making sure to get the last of the people away from here.

Sakura Kinomoto (172) has posed:
    Sakura kinda splutters as Kaiba summons -another storm-. "Wh... th... that's not even magic! -How are you doing that-?!" She's completely flabbergasted by all this.

    High above the storm, Rainbow Dash can quickly find the center - a children's park, with a large penguine-shaped slide at the middle. The air is completely still and calm within the eye.

    As Ayako's barrier keeps the water off them, it's becoming much easier for the heroes and Kaiba) to stand out more in the open. Sakura peers quizically at Shirou. "...You're going to use the Grass-Cutting Sword? ... As an arrow?" Okaaaay then. "O-okay, um. I have no idea why the Storm would be doing this. She's... well, I mean, she likes to make storms, I -guess-, but I didn't know she was this powerful!"

Sakura Kinomoto (172) has posed:
    Also those dragons are TOTALLY owning those clouds. They don't appear to find anything hiding in them, though. Kaiba's storm is doing a good job of slowing down the other storm, but the wind speeds and rain are still ridiculous.

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako scoops up the dropped glowing water ball in her hands as she continues to fight the heavy winds with the storm's own water. "This is no simple storm! From the way the water and wind is moving, it seems to have an eye, or a calm spot in the center! But I can't figure out exactly where the eye is! We need to move up or someone has to figure out where the eye is!" She glances around quickly, "Anyone have any ideas?" Most of her focus remains on manipulating the water!

Emiya Shirou (560) has posed:
    "It's the Grass-Cutting Sword, but Kusanagi's original name is Ame no Murakumo." ('Gathering heavenly clouds.') And his projection quality suffers momentarily from the wave of whatever weird thing Kaiba's up to. Kusanagi's form wavers and almost shatters, but as Shirou focuses harder it regains it!

    Though still he hasn't fired. Probably because he has no idea what he'd even be aiming at, or whether that is called for. "I'm kind of groundbound here! What are we supposed to do from here?"

Rainbow Dash (43) has posed:
Chaos is all around Rainbow Dash, but she doesn't let it stop her. Lightning crackles and arcs from the clouds, and she dips just barely a half second before it falls nearly where she was. Only for her to rise up again with a wild grin on her face. The danger of the storms were always the best part.

But then, chaos falls away. Rainbow Dash bursts straight out of the hole in the clouds and up into the peaceful skies above. She hovers just overhead, wings beating a steady pace as she looks down at the menacing storm down below. If she were a poet, she'd probably have a few clever words. "Aweeessooommee!" Good enough.

Dash peers through her goggles, looking for something that suggest a 'center' of the storm. Hurricanes have eyes, that's got to count as a center, right? The pegasus takes off through the calmer skies above, soaring above the storm until she comes to a break in it, going straight down.

<Hey guys!> She calls over the radio, her transmission staticy from coming close to lightning. <I think I found it! There's an eye right over this park thing. Looks like some sort of foals park. It's like the storm's not even touching it!>

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Kaiba, unfortunately, does /not/ have a method of hearing Rainbow Dash telling where the card is.

     Otherwise he'd be more than happy to obliterate Penguin Park.

     Still, Kaiba isn't going to stand by idly. So, he places another Monster Card, in the face up attack position.

     "I play Dark Zebra! Dark Zebra, scout for the eye of the storm!"

     This Dark Zebra, which is /exactly/ what it sounds like, runs off, to scout the local area. Kaiba, in the meantime, climbs aboard one of his Blue-Eyes. The Blue-Eyes flap their wings, to start taking him off into the air.

     Yeah, if he even gets a hint of the park he's going to obliterate it. At the least, he'll offer to build a replacement or a theme park on top of it!

Sakura Kinomoto (172) has posed:
    Sakura puts one hand up to her ear - she has a very small earpiece in. Huh. "...Okay, got it," she responds to Rainbow Dash. "Okay! When we get to the eye the Storm will probably appear. She'll... most likely be inside a small tornado. Shirou can probably cut her out of it with that sword... Ayako, be on guard if anything weird happens!" She produces a card. "...Let's go. FLOAT!" she calls, activating the card. A purple... miniature hot-air balloon with wings (?) materialises! And then envelops the trio in a bubble of purple energy. Which promptly lifts them up and floats them over the buildings and into the eye of the storm.

    As they're deposited in the park... a twister suddenly erupts within! On the ground, the party can see a bunch of lines forming what appears to be a magic circle of some kind...

    Meanwhile, civilians continue to be evacuated and such!

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     At this point, the Dark Zebra finds the eye of the storm. It leaps into the sky, in order to signal the location to Kaiba. And, Kaiba does, in fact, see the eye of the storm now. And the little twister, right near the park.

     Kaiba, of course, does something very Kaiba-ish.

     "BLUE EYES! DESTROY THE TORNADO AND EVERYHTING AROUND IT!"

     Yeah, he just has to make certain.

     But the mouths of the Blue-Eyes White Dragons open, as the dragons fly closer to the park. A massive burst of energy forms inside of their mouths. The gigantic destructive beams fly out, to try and destroy the tornado and everything around it.

     Honestly this is probably overkill, but also more likely to destroy everything /else/ around rather than the tornado, if the tornado-storm thing can deflect attacks or stuff like that.

Emiya Shirou (560) has posed:
    "Wh--" Shirou's stunned. Suddenly, everyone's flying! Okay that's actually pretty terrifying, having the ground flung away from him - oh no wait now he's being dropped into the park.

    Just in time for Kaiba to start assaulting everything.

    "What are you doing?! You can't punch out a storm!!"

    The redhead screams out furiously, and even waves an arm at Kaiba. If he doesn't heed him, Shirou'll probably do something.

    For this brief moment though, he's taking a moment to examine his surroundings...

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako inclines her head to the side gently. "Hmm... it's by a park thing, huh?" She smiles softly to Sakura and then nods her head once. "I'll be ready!" And then blinks her eyes quickly when Sakura activates her Float Card. She gazes curiously at the miniature purple hot-air balloon with wings... and then again at the bubble of purple energy the forms around them. When they're lifted upwards, she carefully moves the water to move against the wind so that they aren't blown about while they're floating-that could be bad!

    Once they land in the park Ayako glances around quickly... and blinks her eyes quickly when a twister suddenly forms! However, Ayako's gaze is taken more by the magic circle that is forming on the ground. At least until Kaiba suddenly orders his Blue Eyes to start attacking everything! She quickly flings the glowing water ball in her hands upwards and it quickly changes shape! "Mystic Ice Faceted Barrier!"

    The water ball swiftly freezes and forms a multi-layerd barrier of ice around everyone so that Kaiba's sudden assualt doesn't end up blasting them along with everything in the park!

Rainbow Dash (43) has posed:
In Rainbow Dash defense, she does wait a few seconds for the others to arrive. Only a few seconds. She doesn't have much more patience than that. "Okay, that's it!" She flips her wings back and dives, speeding rapidly for the eye of the storm. Luckily, it didn't take the others long to catch up. She barely gets near the ground when they show up. "About time!" She calls out, speeding past them, "Come on, let's get rid of this-Whoa!"

Dash screetches to a halt, just short of blazing energy blasting towards the tornado. "What gives!? Hey! Quit it, featherbrains! I thought you were on our side!"

Sakura Kinomoto (172) has posed:
    Sakura pauses for a moment, looking down at the spell circle filling the park. "...Huh. Wait, is that--"

    And then everything is exploding.

    Luckily, the trio - quartet? - is saved thanks to Ayako's quick intervention! As the smoke clears... there's a crater where Penguin Park used to be. And a feminine, faintly glowing person laying in the center of said crater, smoking. The storm is rapidly dissipating.

    Sakura just kinda... stares for a while.

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako drops her ice barrier, which dissolves into water vapor. Perhaps that's for the best. Because Ayako joins Sakura in just sort of staring. After all, it's not everyday that a park just gets cratered right where you are. She doesn't have anything to say. Part of her wants to golf clap at how powerful Kaiba's dragons are. Another part of her is sad that a play park got reduced to a smoking crater. Conflicting urges. Which just result in silence from her.

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     And, with the park obliterated, and the storm dissipating, Kaiba lands his three Blue-Eyes /right/ near the park. Smiling /incredibly/ smugly. He's really considering having the cause of the Storm taken into his possession for analysis, but with the number of Elites here at the moment, it is likely /not/ wise.

     Also, his helicopter is approaching , and making quite a bit noise as it does so. He speaks though, over it, looking at Sakura, specifically.

     "I take it that is the cause of the storm? See to it that this doesn't happen again. If this is your power, it is /your/ fault that this storm took place."

Rainbow Dash (43) has posed:
Rainbow Dash stares at the destruction laid out in front of her as a result of Seto's dragons. She might be all for a bit of awesomeness, but that's kind of overdoing it! "/Seriously/?!" Dash twists around in mid air to glare at Seto underneath her goggles. "Ugh, I don't. Just. Are you. AUGH!" She gives up, thrusting her forelimbs down in frustration. She twists back towards Sakura. "Can I kick him? I really want to kick him!"

Maya has posed:
Maya is done with getting everyone clear and comes back to see Kiba just ... do what Kiba will. That is over kill to ensure there is no problem later. Well that was the ... other man she knew this one? Who knows the multiverse is a strange place for all. She is glad everyone's clear however and she bneaces her self casting a barrier just to be sure.

Emiya Shirou (560) has posed:
    Shirou hunkers, expecting pain! ... but thanks to Ayako, it doesn't come. He rises, only to SCOWL at Kaiba... scowl harshly. He's criticizing a KID! ... okay a kid mage... okay he's right.

    He's right, and that's why Shirou's not refuting him. He's also wrong, and that's why he's scowling!

    "And if Ayako wasn't so good with her barriers it would be your fault for anyone getting hurt! Watch where you're blasting, idiot!" BAAAAKAAAAAA.

Sakura Kinomoto (172) has posed:
    Sakura watches Kaiba for a few moments, then turns around to face the crater. She hops down into it, sliding a little on the uneven rubble, to kneel down at the unconscious form at the center. She does... something (magic, probably), and soon comes away holding a card in her hand.

    She clambers out of the crater, and approaches Seto Kaiba again. She fixes him with a stern look.

    "You're under arrest."

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Kaiba just... smiles at Sakura. Hrm. He weighs his options. He /knows/ this is the Multiverse, and that a girl as young as her might have power to arrest someone. It'd be unusual, sure, but not /impossible/. He doesn't want to outright resist arrest either, if possible. But, he doesn't want to deal with the actual process of being taken in, dealing with all of that.

     And so, instead, he sighs a little. He casually places a card down. If they /do/ chase him, he'll use the card, but. He's hoping that's not going to be needed.

     Instead, Kaiba reaches into a pocket, and throws a card to Sakura. He is /really/ good at throwing cards, it seems. But it is not a Duel Monster Card, no. It is a business card for Kaiba's legal division.

     "Call legal, and they'll sort this out. For now, I have other business to attend to. This was simple self defense and trying to protect the peace, after all."

     He moves to climb into the Helicopter.

Sakura Kinomoto (172) has posed:
    If there's one thing that Sakura is good at - beyond athletics, beyond magic, even...

    It's manipulating cardstock.

    Her hand snaps up and catches the card between her index and middle fingers.

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako walks slowly over to the crater's edge and looks into it. "I... huh. I... Hmm..." She lifts up her hands and it looks like she's... measuring the size of the crater with her hands?

Emiya Shirou (560) has posed:
    "O-oi!" Shirou rushes forward, to right behind Kaiba. "Hey, you. I don't care how rich or important you think you are, but aren't you forgetting something that has nothing to do with laws?!"

    Oh yes. Shirou's looking pretty heated up over this! The scowl's turned downright angry!

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Kaiba now has Shirou /really/ close to him. The two of them are probably very close in age, but it's unlikely you could find two people who are /more/ opposite. Kaiba, of course, really does /not/ like the fact that Shirou is getting so pissed.

     He flips the card.

     "SWORDS OF REVEALING LIGHT!"

     Several blades that seem to be made of Light itself appear around Shirou, surrounding him on all sides. They aren't damaging, but more meant to keep Shirou from following Kaiba anymore. Kaiba is frowning at the moment.

     "I have no clue what you're talking about, but. You better not dare to keep this aggression towards me, or it will end, badly."

     Kaiba is now fully in the helicopter, and it is beginning to take off.

Emiya Shirou (560) has posed:
    Shirou finds himself suddenly trapped by a strange spell. He can't help but glance left and right at the predicament, though he focuses harder on Kaiba the next moment. "No clue what I'm talking about?! You started blasting every which way with others around! You could've hurt Ayako, Maya, or Sakura!" Strangely he's not putting himself in that list... "Or..." He glances Rainbow Dash's way.

    He's not sure who they are. ... At all. Blink.

    The young man still clenches a fist and stomps a foot angrily for emphasis! "Don't you owe an apology?!"

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     "I apologize for any damage that any of you may of incurred during that attack."

     And, the helicopter bursts to the sky, basically gone now, Kaiba of course basically demanding the last word from this situation.

     Of course seeing that no one /got/ hurt from his attack it's basically a non-apology.

Maya has posed:
Maya look to see Shirou and sighs

"Calm down the area was clear of non combatant I ... may not agre but I can get the concept. Putting down an unknown force better to over kill then not use enough force."

She's trying to diffuse any thing else she bows lightly toKaiba as he heads off yes best to leave it there she's pretty sure his legal department will be running pardon the pun damage control.
