video; Ishtar, March 13th

[trustheart]

[The video feed is a first person view of a bunch of purple stuffed goats, mounted on wheeled platforms, chasing after someone who's running. Some of them have ribbons around their necks, some of them has attachments connected to their platforms for a variety of jobs. For those that know of them, they'd be recognizable as Hibiki's spy goats.

The camera moves to show Chris's face, who looks both winded and angry as she shouts at her device.]

THEY'VE BEEN AFTER ME ALL DAY! SOMEONE SEND HELP!

SHIKYOIN, DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT THIS IS YOUR FAULT!

Wha--buh-zuh--they were chasing you! Isn't that wrong?! But more than that, what they do wrong is be associated with Hibiki! That's an unforgivable sin!

[trustheart]

Yeah, and I've decided not to hold it against them! Buzz off, or you'll have to deal with me!

[Zetta stares at the girl in baffled surprise for a long moment.]

...I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Really? You're going down this route?

1/2

Killter ichaival tron.

2/2

[One transformation later, Chris is standing before him in full armor, with her Armed Gear quickly transforming into a missile launcher armed with two warheads several times Chris's size.]

Leave.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

You're taking this surprisingly personally for someone being harassed and yelling at Hibiki for causing this kind of crap. But more importantly, there are things as an Overlord I won't tolerate -- such as anyone messing with my pride.

[With thunderous crashes, figures drop from the sky to slam into the ground around Zetta with a force that looks like it ought to reduce them to a fine paste. But the minions look utterly unfazed as they draw oversized weapons -- swords, axes, a cartoonish bomb, a fishing pole, one of them has a pie for some reason.]

So... no.

[As this rants and makes a show of landing in front of her, Chris is aiming her missiles backwards.]

Then I guess I'll just have to.

[She launches the missiles, which shoot off at high speeds, plowing into two groups of goats that Irisviel wasn't able to shoo off earlier. They're programmed to fly towards Hibiki's temple and deposit them there, where they'll disintegrate once Chris de-transforms...

... and as for Chris, she just opts to teleport to her own temple once they're good and gone.]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[Blink.]

[Blink.]

[Zetta looks around at his minions.]

...Uh, that was a win, right?

[In unison, the minions all shrug broadly.]

....I'm calling it a win. Now -- back home!
