Idol down? [SETO]

[Suzuki Riho]

Riho had gotten separated during the fighting, which was going against their side.  Rather badly.  She had managed several takedowns, which wasn't bad for a rookie, but she was too green, and they were too many.  With a cry of pain her henshin was finally cancelled and she lay at the bottom of a small bowl shaped crater, her face in a grimace as she clutched at her sides in phantom pain.  The monsters were about to move in, when a blue mechanical dragonfly appeared and drove them all back from the edge.  Once they saw what it was, they simply ignored her and moved on.

But the girl didn't notice.  The trauma she'd seen there that day, the new world she had thrust herself into...it hurt.  Deeply.  Tears streamed down her face as she lay there, just a little bit broken on the inside.

[Seto Arai]

Seeing his very comrade killed before his eyes was bad enough for Seto. He was too far from where Trochu and the Shocker Leader once stood, but what he saw was clear - their leader was gone and her army was no more. Even with the might of the Genesis Driver, Seto could not cut through their numbers down quickly enough to even change the tide of the war.

His shock would turn into horror when he spotted Riho nearby, wounded and untransformed, potentially open to attack. He immediately directed his attention to her.

"RIHO!" he shouted and ran to her, slashing any monster that got in his way between them.

[Suzuki Riho]

The din of battle had gotten to her, her vision swam just a little and she heard something over the carnage but couldn't quite place it. The mechanical dragonfly hovers over her, making clicking or other zecter like noises of concern...but as the figure approaches she weakly reaches a hand out towards him, vaguely recognizing the yellow of his armor through tear-stained eyes.

[Seto Arai]

Gaim-Shin slid down to her side and immediately cradled her in his arms. "My god...Riho, hang in there! I'm going to get you to safety!"

He was panicking and in a very stressed state, his voice trembling and his arms shaking. He lost a comrade in this ensuring chaos, so he cannot afford to lose another now.

[Suzuki Riho]

Riho nodded her head, wrapping her arms around his neck to hang on as best she can. "...Please." she asked, her words paniced, he could tell she'd been crying, her little frame shaking in his arms a bit..

[Seto Arai]

He picked her up and made a run for it. As much as he did not want to abandon the soldiers being slaughtered out there, he could not let Suzuki die in a place like this. He reluctantly made up his mind and bolted towards the direction away from the battlefield.

He would not get very far with the amount of kaijins blocking his way...

[Suzuki Riho]

The dragonfly followed them, buzzing around as it annoyed kaijin and drew some of their attention away. "Y-your saber.." she managed to get out, still crying a bit. "It can shoot, r-right?"

[Seto Arai]

Seto wondered what that strange dragonfly was doing, but Suzuki's voice, caught his attention. "Riho...it's too dangerous."

[Suzuki Riho]

"L-let me try..I can shoot from here while we're trying to get out, right? It's better than me asking you to leave me.." Riho gave, her face flustered red with tears and looking worse for wear still..

[Seto Arai]

"Suzuki..." Seto murmured, as he ran. After a few seconds of indecision, he struggled to draw out his Musou Saber with his hands full. He was able to offer her the weapon's trigger; now it was her choice.

[Suzuki Riho]

She gripped the handle tightly and tested it by firing a round. The recoil of it making her go back against his chest armor some, but it did serve to nail a kaijin in the eye and leave them pawing at it. "L-let's go, Seto-kun." she managed to get out, firing again at another kaijin that was in front of them.

[Seto Arai]

The Kaijin horde was thickening and Seto found himself having to duck and swerving when trying to avoid them. He kept his grip on Riho and did everything he could to make sure he would not be harmed.

[Suzuki Riho]

She was alert enough, despite everything that happened, to keep pulling back the lever of the saber, and firing. But then she notices the dragonfly for the first time out of the corner of her eye, and speaks, "That dragonfly saved my life back there, but I don't know anything about it.." she trailed off. "It feels like its chosen me, though.."

[Seto Arai]

Seto looked at her. "That...dragonfly?"

He should not have lost focus. One of the kaijins was just out of both of their sight when he appeared and it was only the terrifying sound of a brandished sword that alerted Seto just in time to react at the very last second.

The kaijin brought down its devastating blade and the Lemon Rider immediately turned away with his back facing him to shield Riho from the creature. The demonic sword cleaved and severed the cape portion off of Gaim Shin's armor. Sparks flashed throughout his back and Seto uttered a cry of pain, involuntarily dropping Riho in the process as well as the trigger-grip he found before the battle. 

[Suzuki Riho]

Riho grunted in pain as she was dropped on her back and she called out to Seto in alarm. "Seto-kun! I'm sorry!!" But then she notices the trigger grip, and rolls along the ground to avoid a top stab from above, noting the dragon fly circling it and making animated noises.

"You..want me to get it?" she managed to get out, before doing a roll underneath the demonic blade and coming up with the grip in hand. In the upright position, the dragonfly locked in to the grip, and forced a

"Henshin."

The armor spreads over her form and the kaijin all pause from what they're doing, taking a moment to recognize the new form. "T-this is me?" she asked, checking out the grip and the gun it now formed. A barrage of shots soon strikes the ones around Seto's form as she rushes over to him as best she can, not used to the new armor.
