Know what time it is? It's hero of JUSTICE time!

[knightlyrondo]

WHO: Sayaka Miki and anyone. Yes, anyone.
WHAT: Dark allies event open post
WHEN: During the Dark Allies event (03/17-03/21)
WHERE: Everywhere
WARNINGS: Cursing, violence.

[After getting a weapon from a certain Yurippe, Sayaka's been looking for a fight. The katana feels right in her hands. It's certainly not the sword she fought with in life but it's close enough that she can feel comfortable using it.

Her goals are simple. She's out to take down as many shadows as she can and to make sure that no one gets taken by them. Sayaka's always on the move. She does stop for a minute to send a simple message to Madoka, Mami, and Kyouko: If you need back up, just tell me where you are.

It's time for Magical Justice Girl Sayaka to get back to work.

[Sayaka sighs but it does make sense. If she hadn't gotten a weapon when she did--she didn't want to think about it.]

You can swing a bat, right? There's probably one around here you can use.

[She sees the shadows moving and she moves in front of Kyouko.]

Yurippe, up in the principle's office. She was handing out weapons.

[soulfood]

[Kyouko glances around Sayaka to get a look inside the dugout. Lo and behold, there is a cracked wooden practice bat sitting on the ground in the far corner. She nudges Sayaka and points.]

There's one in there.

[But there's also a shadow right in front of the entrance.]

If you get rid of that thing, I can run in and grab it. Dunno how long it'll hold up, but it's better than nothing. If you still think there are weapons in the principal's office, then I wanna head there afterwards.

[knightlyrondo]

[She nods.]

I don't know if she has any more--but we can try. We need to find Madoka and Mami-san, too, though.

[She starts moving slowly towards the dugout.]

Just stay behind me until I kill these things!

[soulfood]

Yeah.

[Kyouko scoots along behind her. As cool as it is to see Sayaka being brave and kicking ass, though, Kyouko is impatient to get in on the action, so she slips into the dugout as soon as there's an opening. She returns a second later with bat in hand, ready to join the fray.]

I'll watch your back!

[knightlyrondo]

[Sayaka charges at the dugout and the shadows follow. It's enough of a distraction to let Kyouko get the weapon. Now it's two on two.]

Sure!

[Time to slash at the nearest one.]

[soulfood]

[Kyouko grips the bat with both hands and lunges at the other, bashing it once— twice— three times before she's able to take it out. It actually feels good for her to be whacking something, and there's a feral grin on her face when she glances over to see how Sayaka is holding up.]

[knightlyrondo]

[Sayaka slashes it once and then again. It's satisfying to fight again. Her grin isn't feral but very self-satisfied as the shadow fades away.]

[soulfood]

[Kyouko sets the bat on her shoulder and stretches her off arm.]

That wasn't so bad.

[Her ferocity gives way to a more supportive smile.]

You probably oughta lead the way, and I can keep ya covered.

[knightlyrondo]

I could do this forever.

[She gives a reckless smile, more confident in her victory still. Even if she is breathing a little harder.]

Sounds good. I want to swing by the dorms on the way--to see if Mami-san and Madoka are there.

[soulfood]

Fine with me. Just try not to get too cocky.

[Like she's one to talk. Oh well. After you, Feesh Girl.]

[knightlyrondo]

Speak for yourself.

[She'll be heading off. Keep up, Candlehead.]

[soulfood]

[Kyouko has no problem keeping pace. In fact, if she knew the best way to the dorms, she'd totally be ahead.

But she doesn't, so she simply trails Sayaka, keeping an eye out for more shadows.]

[knightlyrondo]

[She keeps the pace brisk.]

Didn't think I'd be fighting here.

[soulfood]

[Kyouko gives her a vaguely bored look, like this is all No Big Deal.]

Yeah? I was kinda hopin' for an excuse to get some exercise. Plus, your favorite transfer student told me something like this might happen.

[This does not, however, explain why she was still unprepared.]

[knightlyrondo]

[Sayaka glowers at the mention of That Person who Will Not be Named.]

That girl probably is using this an excuse to play hero for Madoka.

[Except the only one playing hero is Sayaka herself. Oops.]

[soulfood]

[Jeez, Sayaka, don't make Kyouko be the logical one.]

That's OK as long as she's safe, right? At least Akemi isn't going to let her get hurt.

[knightlyrondo]

I still don't like her being near her. I mean, she might lock her in a basement or something.

[soulfood]

[Kyouko isn't sure to what extent Sayaka is using hyperbole, so she makes an effort not to sound too accusatory.]

If you're that worried, why haven't you done anything about it?

[knightlyrondo]

[She turns around to give her a glare.]

I told Madoka to stay near Mami-san or me. [Beat] That was before you came here.

[soulfood]

[Kyouko returns the look with steady eyes.]

That's a start.

But if it came down to it, do ya think you could stop Akemi if she really went off her rocker?

[knightlyrondo]

[In truth? No. Sayaka's brazen but she's not stupid. Homura's obviously far more experienced than she.

She puffs herself up a bit more.]

I'd fight her until I got Madoka back. That's all there is to it.

[soulfood]

If she creamed you over and over, would you even ask for help?

[Not that Kyouko would actually wait for her permission, but hey.]

[knightlyrondo]

I can fight my own battles.

[She's that stubborn. Some things never change.]

[soulfood]

[Yup. And it actually ticks Kyouko right off. She even forgets for a second that Sayaka doesn't share her more recent memories.]

That kinda shitty attitude is what got you here in the first place. You think it's heroic just to suffer and lose by yourself instead of gettin' help when you need it? It's pretty obvious Madoka wouldn't want to see you go through all of that again.

[knightlyrondo]

[That makes Sayaka even angrier. Why had Mami even wanted her to try make friends with such an unpleasant girl? She won't drive Kyouko away but it's obvious that she's growing very annoyed.]

I'm going to save Madoka! [She snaps. She stops in her tracks, katana clenched in her fists. Her knuckles were turning white with the force of the grip.] You think I'm just going to become a witch again, huh? Think that you have to make sure I don't turn into something worse than these shadows. Is that it? Have to save the common people from Sayaka, right? Can't leave her by herself. She'll just make a mess of everything.
