One can never get bored with a variety.
A New Breed of Show Down
"Soooo."
"What?"
"Do you think I can go out to find a Ravana and one of those Yaksha Raja?"
"No."
"Oh come on!"
"Daddy, the possibly of finding them on your own, let alone together, is slim to none. You'd just be going out to go for a stroll." Fia explained to her father as they sat on the benches in the snack area of the Veteran's Floor. She had been trying to keep him from wondering off ever since Tsubaki had a fit at his return and his lack of care only made her temper worse. She's still feeling Tsubaki's wrath because of him, she didn't need him to add on to it. She had almost had him submitting to her reasoning when Alisa stormed onto the Floor from the elevator.
"We've got an emergency mission at Aegis Island!" Alisa explained. "A Ravana, some Yaksha Raja, and even a Caligula showed up on radar."
"..." Fia had remained silent as her father flashed her a knowingly grin. She really didn't want to deal with this tonight. She had just gotten done with a challenging mission that day, and the day had turned out to be a good day so she wanted it to end like that. But it would seem that fate had other plans in mind. Well if she had to deal with this let down, she didn't want to deal with it alone. "(Sigh) Go get Soma. We're leaving right now."
"Right!" Alisa replied before running down the hall to Soma's room. The knowing grin never leaving Azar's face.
"See, everything works out for those who wish it in the end. Heh ha, funny how the Aragami come to me."
"Ugh, fine, you were right! Can we get this mission over with?!"
But he only showed his teeth when he grinned as he cocked his God Arc pistol in reply. "The night is still young, Sweetie."
*** Aegis Island ***
"Why did you drag me into this?" Soma groaned as they jumped down from the Starting Point.
"Because you're one of the few who's had experience fighting these guys." Fia answered.
"Again, why did you drag me into this?"
"Because you're one of the few who's had experience fighting these guys with the most fitting skill."
"Hmph, point taken..."
"Enough with your blabber, you two." Azar interrupted, reading his God Arc as the first Aragami jumped into the scene. "My trigger finger is itching!"
The Yaksha Raja was the first to jump into the arena, its Yaksha counterpart soon followed suit. Then seconds later the Ravana came in along with the Caligula. Azar was practically tingling with excitement.
"Let's finish them off!" Alisa encouraged, readying her gun-mode.
"What is the course of action you would suggest in this situation Fia?" Her father asked as if reviewing a lesson. And Fia didn't even miss a beat, as if the info was embedded in her head.
"The greatest option is to eliminate the weaker threat, thus decreasing the numbers of enemy and chances of damage. It is best to focus on the weak first, the strong soon follow suit."
"Heh, good girl."
"Let's take out the Yaksha Rajas first. Then we can focus on Caligula and Ravana." Fia strategised. "Alisa, keep an eye out for the Ravana, it appears to have the same fighting pattern as a Prithivi Mata."
"Got it!"
"This is going to be an amazing show down." Azar commented before the Aragami began to charge at them.
Like Fia warned, they had to watch out for the pouncing Ravana. Aside from the constant dodging and rolling, the Yaksha Raja went down pretty quick.
"Soma, shields up!" Fia warned as the Caligula came in from the side with a blizzard attack. The ones that could, put up their shield, while Fia dashed to her father to shield him. A chill filled the arena as snow began to dance around them.
"Ooh, is it Christmas already?" Azar teased.
"Hmph, not like you give any good presents." Fia mocked back.
"What? I give out the best presents."
"Giving your daughter the decapitated head of an Orgetail for her ninth Christmas is way off the mark for best gift giver."
"You said that they were cute."
"Yeah, I also said that about puppies, that doesn't mean you have to go out and bring me back their heads like a cat!"
"Bah! Kids these days, they're never appreciative!"
"Can it you two!" Soma jumped into the two's argument, ending it as the Caligula's wings receded with the attack "It's getting ready to attack again!"
"Hmph, poor sport." "Fun killer." Both Fia and Azar huffed at Soma.
"Just get them already!" Soma growled at the two's antics.
Jumping into the fray, they charged at the Caligula while Alisa kept the Ravana off their backs. Making the Caligula go down quicker than they first expect. Fia didn't even have to use a Stun Grenade either. However, like expected, the Ravana but up more of a fight.
The Ravana continued trying to pounce on them, occasionally flame torching at them with the large cannon on its back. Dodging it, Soma destroyed its leg armor while Fia went straight for the head armor. Getting angry, it charged up a blaze attack which it surrounded itself with.
"Get back!" Alisa warned as they all jumped back.
"Heh, this cat is on fire!" Azar chuckled. Then he went for the killing shot that took the Ravana down. "Head shot!"
"Brilliant shot, Dad..." Fia complemented as they stared in disbelief.
"Ahh, and with that, the kitty is down."
"Mission cleared...good job everyone... I guess." Alisa complimented with the struggle, seeing how the mission went down.
"Honestly, I don't know whether this mission was ball'n or a huge disappointment. As much as that fight was a rush, it was faaarrr too short."
"Sorry the mission did not meet to your blood-lust expectation." Fia said in sarcasm.
"Well there's always next time."
"Can we go now?" Soma groaned.
