Operation: Crown Retrieval [TYR, NATSUMI, SENTINELS, KATE]

[Reika Minato]

Reika had been close by, watching all this go down when the clear red light of a sniper rifle appeared on the formerlly lost Princess' chest.

Thinking quickly, she slid her belt buckle into place, causing her tropper armor to form around her as she dashed towards the scene, attempting to knock the girl out of the line of fire.

[The Sentinels]

However Adriana was quicker thanks to her Orphenoch blood as she noticed the red dot, "Sniper!" she shouted tackling Naoto to the ground as the Sentinels raised their assault rifles and formed a protective ring around them.

[Reika Minato]

Thanks to the American, Reika missed the Princess completely and hit into Hikaru instead.

[Natsumi Kureshima]

"Henshin." she called out, transforming to Zangetsu Shin and jumping up to the same roof level as the sniper, deciding to dash after them.

While Kate leaves her program running and walks around the corner in view of them, a Genesis Driver on her waist. She wasn't the sniper, but would they know that?

[Joel Florian]

Joel kept up with Kate's program, deftly tapping buttons on his keyboard. This could be beaten.

[Naoko, Crown Princess of Japan]

Naoko got back up and looked around. "The hell...?" she asked as she spotted Kate. "Oi! You didn't have anything to do with this, did you?" she shouted, taking out her IXA Knuckle.

[Reika Minato]

Reika pressed her hands against the gravel before using it as a springboard to propel herself into the air and then landed back on her feet.

She took note of the American that caused her to miss and then followed the Princess' eyes towards Kate, taking out her blaster.

[Kate Johnson]

"Hooh..so you have Rider technology?" Kate asked her in reply, shaking her head. "The trajectory of the shot came from over there." she points, "And judging by my current location, I could not have fired that shot at you. My friend has already gone after the culprit. I suggest you people do the same." The scientist gave, though one could have read all of that in Ryouma's tone of voice and there wouldn't have been much different.

[The Sentinels]

"OK ma'am we have to get you out of here now," Adriana said, "it's far too dangerous here," as she grabbed at Naoko's arm and began to gently lead her away from the danger zone.

[Naoko, Crown Princess of Japan]

Naoko jerked her arm away from Adriana. "No way... Someone wants to try and take my life... I want to know why," she told her, her expression serious.

[Reika Minato]

"Your royalty and heir to the throne," responded Reika in a matter of fact voice as she pointed her eyes towards the direction Kate pointed, "Isn't that reason enough?"

[Kate Johnson]

((Since there's not really a post order anymore, let's just get this moving.))

"The intelligence girl has it right." Kate said simply. "And...there's the one behind the reason." She points up to another level, where a suspicious blue looking guy is fighting Zangetsu Shin.

[Hikaru Corday & Kanon]

Hikaru laid sprawled across the ground after Reika had slammed into him, seemingly unconscious. If he had been a fictional character his eyes would have been swirling.

[The Sentinels]

"We don't have time for this, we need to get out of here asap," Adriana said taking the Psyga belt and transforming into Psyga, "let's move now!"

[Naoko, Crown Princess of Japan]

However, Naoko herself had different plans. Taking out the IXA Knuckle again, she pressed it against her free palm.

READY

"Henshin!" she shouted before attaching it the belt and letting it go.

FIST, ON

As she transformed, the golden faceplate opened up, and the IXA Calibur appeared in her hand. She pointed it at the blue enemy Natsumi was fighting before firing off a few shots.

The Dopant took notice, and dodged out of the way, taking a few shots at the group below as he began jumping across the rooftops.
