Queen Bee [Mission Topic]

Haru would hear Henry’s words giving the male a brief glance as he made mention that he remembered the events as Claire had described them. Oh really now? Now why was that? He would have to question the other about that later since he was not quite sure what made this one so different than the rest. Despite being suspicious though, he would save digging for later. After all, they had a different sort of problem on their hands: Trying to stay alive.

He had given the command to bar Claire's way and knew what would happen next. It killed him inwardly to do so, but even so he knew had to do what he had to do in this case and so holding his ground, he would face off with the ex-Cadet keeping his allies and where they were in mind at all time as he heard her speak. To her first set of words, the Cadet would respond to her smirking with a blank unreadable expression, the hide a multitude of things from the world and those around him.

“It most certainly is unfortunate, Ms. Claire,” the Cadet would say his words holding a bit of sadness there, but only a small amount that was quickly dried up as he watched what occurred next. It was...an unpleasant event to watch, but he stored the details of how Claire freed herself away for now and focused on the battle with what was now a psychic terrorist. Keeping his positioned relaxed despite the situation, Haru would give Vivian a nod.

“I am glad to hear that and will keep you informed if the need arises,” he would tell her as he let Henry’s death comments role right off of him. He honestly didn’t think such comments should be tossed about. After all it was a 50/50 chance for Lady Death to kiss either any of them here. It was grim situation, but even so Haru was determined to do his best to keep those with him alive. He would not let them die...Could not.


His eyes would lock on Claire as as a dark aura and feathers surrounded him as a few seconds later his persona appeared at his side.

Seeing a new target the armored creature would tilt its head as it took in that it was a person this time, though hearing her words the creature would grin behind its mask. While the face was unseen the waves of bloodlust that washed off of the persona as it let out its usual unstable and creepy laugh was present.

“Well ain’t she just a doll! She wants to kill us. How fun!” the creature would say as it chuckle amused and not seeming to give a hoot about the dangers of the situation as its eyes glowed brighter from behind its visor as it focused on the enemy fully. Such a delicious morsel in its eyes. Even more delicious if they could beat her and her little persona too!

Quite used to his persona antics and presence at this point, Haru’s cold facade wouldn’t break as for now, he would take a defensive position…

"Man, there's just too many bees... and me without me beekeeping suit and/or my flamethrower..." Henry said, groaning at the fact that his attack had done little to the crazed woman.
All he could do for now was guard and pray he didn't get stung to death in the meantime.

He would take the blows that assaulted him his phone deciding to make a light vibration in his pocket around the same time notifying he had a message of some sort available. It was something that could prove distracting to others, but not for him. He made a mental note to check it later, but for now remained focused on the situation at hand as his positioning shifted as he recovered from the blow. It was pretty hefty even with a guard up, but at least he still stood, so that was something. Even so he didn’t celebrate quite yet as he kept his mind focused on this dangerous game.

“That is indeed problematic,” Haru would say in response to Henry’s comment about the bees, even though his face never once shifted from its serious expression as he kept an eye on Claire. Thanks to Vivian, they had gained much need information about the woman and while he did indeed have something that could help the situation, the cost to use said thing could be risky if he gambled too carelessly with it. Even so, it was one of their best bets right now in bring the woman down. So then...

Taking note of his allies guarding Haru's positioning would change to offensive as he spoke to his persona. “Aquarius. Would you kindly?”

The response? A bite of pain as payment for what he wanted done. His persona would give an unstable giggle as he flapped his wings and moved towards the woman with bees, its weapon coating with ice as it neared...

The opponent was struck and went down, but instead of attacking Haru would do something a bit different as his mind worked on a plan and his hand went to his pocket to grab his phone. He had seen the damage they were doing and while they might be able to manage it as they were it would be a bit of a struggle, so a bit of extra help would be nice, but with their resources scattered between two other missions was there anyone available?

He’d see the notice that added a new person to the list of Cadets on Call to his phone and as he clicked on it, he would see a familiar name. Hoping this wasn’t a mistake, he’d hit the name and with one icon press he’d send a message to the name that was displayed.

Once that was done, he would speak to his team. “Help should be coming soon, so let’s try and hold out until then.” After that he would go back to preparing for whatever was in store next.

“Tch!” he would begin moving the moment he noticed their foe targeting Vivian. As the attack was unleashed, Haru moved himself to intercept the blow as he brought his weapon up to block some of the attack. He wasn’t able to take the full blow for the woman, but he was at least able to weaken it a bit as he shared the burden of the attack with the other. He had taken it, but he was beginning to show small signs of fatigue from the beating he was getting. Even so, he remained standing strong as he ignored his own issues and cast a look back at Vivian.

“You okay?” he would ask her, concern there despite the serious expression on his face. Whether he was answered or not, his attention would turn back to Claire as she spoke and got back to her feet.  

“Maybe so, but we’ll still bring you down, Ms. Claire.” His words were calm, but his look determined. He would defeat her, even if it meant that they both went down in the process. There was no other option for him at this point. Even with this goal in mind, he would keep his allies in mind as his eyes shifted a bit to briefly look at Henry.

“Henry, I would appreciate any help you can lend. Even if it is a little bit if we work together she can be brought down.” He would tell the other Cadet, hoping that would be enough to get the other to fight with them. Even if Henry wasn’t a power hitter, anything was better than nothing in this case. After all, they needed to fight back to survive.

Henry then realized something: He wasn't on her radar at all, seeing as how the last few attacks had been on them, and not him.
Something that would work in his favor here.
Sure it'd take a while, but... well..
The slow and steady route was always nice.
