[wHY ARE EVERYONE'S WEAPONS SO LARGE??? Mikleo thinks to himself, having flung himself forward reflexively when the fridge appeared next to him. he knocked a couple of Palai over with that move, but he's nudging them upright again in a hurry, taking the brief respite Lenka's offered him to get them hustling. he's not going to argue: Lenka's clearly got combo melee and distance covered pretty well right now.]

Right. I'll be back as soon as I've got them indoors!

[that's a big crowd of Uvi, after all.]

[Man, Mikleo, you should see his weapon back home. Just saying. God Eater weapons are all completely ridiculous and a greatsword is really the least of it; which is part of why Lenka had just basically done a grab and go with the thing in the middle of a multifront magical invasion.

He doesn't answer aloud or completely intentionally, but there's a quick and blurry flash of telepathic acknowledgement from his direction regardless, along with an accidental image showing Mikleo, the group of hapless lizards and the all-important shield in a strange sort of mosaic from his point of view. It's hypersharp around the shield, the focus of their current activity, and running like watercolors everywhere else. A bit disorienting. Sorry for the mental noise; his brain's a little rattled today.

Outwardly, though, there's no pause in his movement as he kicks the initial Uvi to the ground and wields the greatsword like a particularly shiny shovel to sever its head from its body; uses the downswing to propel himself further into the fray -- he's between the rest of the Uvi and the group now, finally.

It's a decent number of enemies, and most of them have weapons with longer reach. Nevertheless, with a little refrigerator rain on his side (albeit less precise than that first hit, comboing is hard), Lenka can at least stall for time.]

[Mikleo grunts and shuts his eyes momentarily, shaking his head as he's hit with Lenka's point of view; it's very different from his, and it disorients him briefly, though it's not enough to stagger him.

(that's strange, he thinks, in a tiny portion in the back of his head; that's not the general way humans view the world and battle, I've looked through Sorey's and Rose's and Alisha's eyes and they're not like that -- a peculiarity to humans from Lenka's world, then? or to Lenka himself?)

still, it doesn't faze him very long, and they're no longer that far from the buildings; he takes the Palai group the rest of the way in a galloping run, then claws up to a rooftop so he can glide back to the battle instead of walking. he's back before Lenka's done cleaning up, falling on another cluster of Uvi from the sky like -- well, a bigger version of one of Lenka's fridges.]

[(It's more a peculiarity of Lenka's attempt to interface with their coven-granted telepathic magic than anything else, coupled with some unwanted shocks to his physical and mental state of being in the past few hours; everything is scattered and a mess, so all the images in his mind are too, splintered along the edges of thoughts sheared off by battle instinct.)

With the Palai out of the line of fire and Mikleo's bulk in the distance, Lenka has a little more room to swing and maneuver -- he can slash his way through and around the herd of Uvi rather than taking them head-on to stay between them and their targets, and it helps a bit. He's slowly acclimating to working with the greatsword, even if he still misses the trusty weight of his own God Arc.

He's had to be adaptable lately. It's the nature of the beast.

Mikleo dropping in from the sky does make him freeze up briefly, though he still manages to parry the spear thrust from the Uvi facing him; things out of the sky isn't usually good news, in his experience, here or elsewhere. Anyway:]

Any other enemies nearby?

[The Uvi tend to go straight for the barriers, so it's always a good idea to check if they need to be hustling their cleanup.]
oneandmikleonly: (need the clouds to cover.)

[Mikleo notices the hesitation and is briefly sorry, but then he's just busy. the way he fights is curious; he's got the claws and the teeth to do more serious damage but he tends not to use them, using heavy blows from his head and forelegs and the flats of his front feet instead. it's not less brutal, knocks the enemies away and out all the same, but to him it feels a little closer to his normal style of fighting, less like he's turned into an actual animal.

he is still not all that comfortable with being a dragon, even if for him it's just skin-deep.]

There's another group, but they're some distance off. We could head there, or retreat back to the buildings. Both areas had about the same amount of coverage from our forces that I could see.

[Lenka, on the other hand, fights like he's possessed -- the heft of the greatsword means that he can pretty much throw Uvi across the street when he has the right angle and leverage, so there's a few flying Uvi here and there in the midst of Mikleo slapping them down.

It's not aimless fighting, though; there's a notable lack of slicing on his end of the equation, a little bit of barely noticeable holding back that occasionally gets escalated to full-on slaughter whenever an Uvi gets too far past their line of defense. The current battle might not yet be pressed for time, but he's still working on a time limit, conscious of the fact that too many Uvi in the area could spell disaster in more than one way.

This isn't his type of fight. But he doesn't have to like it; he just has to end it.]

... Let's clean up the area. There are a few more barriers. We should expect reinforcements.

[Not Uvi reinforcements, as it turns out -- there's more rains of fish and magical water headed their way.]
