Passing in the night

[srwu_mods]

Late at night, Noise were spotted by a highway near the Lydian Academy city. The Second Section did not inform Unity Group - UG had its own problems and was best left alone for the moment, and besides the attack was small. Small enough that the Section could easily handle it all by itself.

Which is why the sole group of fluorescent creatures is met by only a single warrior...

(Locked to Tsubasa only - or is it?)

[Tsubasa's eyes go wide as this happens. Formality is completely cast aside.]

...Uncle...?!

[And then she loses stability and falls onto the ground - both her armor and Armed Gear disappearing...]

[srwu_npc]

"Jeez Tsubasa, do you think you can just do anything you want?"

"I've spent a lot of money on those shoes." Genjurou looks down on his feet, the footwear destroyed in his display of power.

[sakimori]

...

[Tsubasa doesn't reply. She just sits there with her head lowered as buried irrigation pipes burst from the damage done to the road.

On top of everything now, she's also soaked. But she doesn't move from where she is.]

[spearpunch]

Tsubasa...

[Her own transformation goes away, leaving Hibiki standing there, looking at the other two. She cautiously approaches, not sure what to say or even do right now.]

[srwu_npc]

Commander Kazanari approaches as well, looking worried and maybe a little bit disappointed rather than angry.

"Think of all the movies I could've bought... Tsubasa? Are you crying?" He asks, surprised.

[sakimori]

I'm not crying...!

I am a warrior, and thus nothing but a sword. There's nothing that I feel...

[Whether that is true or not is difficult to confirm, because of all this water raining down.

And only now does she try to stand. But she's having trouble doing so.]

[spearpunch]

[She needs help and support, both literally and figurativly. It's practically by reflex that Hibiki goes to try to help her up.]

Tsubasa, I know I'm not any good right now, but I can still help! I want to try my best, and be worthy of taking Kanade's place!

[sakimori]

[Something about that last bit Hibiki said triggers something in Tsubasa. After being helped up, she takes a step back...]


...!

[And gives the other Symphogear user a slap in the face.

She says nothing afterwards, and leaves. But those who witness this, Hibiki especially, will notice that Tsubasa is actually crying. No, even worse, she started crying because of what was said...]
