(This topic takes place after "On Glory's Wings" in La Cité des Cloches for Rikka, and after the upcoming "To The Lions" in Multiverse Expanse for Azumi.

Myself, Sorin, and one other (most likely Mr. Z, but to be discussed outside) only please.)

Bridge

Another break, it seemed.

After an arduous ordeal in that hellish prison, it was probably best just to rest. But she wasn't one to rest often, and when she did, not for very long.

After splitting up from Mason, the Ice Queen, and Newton, she had spent some more time with the latter, getting to know her better as she came ups with her plans for how to modify the firearm that Mason had found. Aside from that... atypical romance she was undergoing, she saw nothing too out of the ordinary. Definitely somebody to call upon later. Or to have a drink with if off duty. Whichever worked.

Regardless, here she was. She had landed here near the castle up ahead. Without her boss nearby to tell her to go in and try to strike up deals, she saw no reason to go inside. Instead, she was walking toward the forest in the opposite direction.

In the way of clothing, she had decided to wear her combat armor, as she normally would. This kind of situation was best to be prepared, and so she had kept her customary, standard weaponry, the submachine gun and handgun she normally would have.

Azumi Ian wasn't one to go somewhere without being prepared for the worst, after all. She got some contact information, some of her comm unit targets incoming... and sighed as she headed toward the forest.

"Well, they had to meet each other soon, anyway."

Rikka had been rather bored lately. After her time meeting Audrey and talking with Greg and Jess, she hadn't really done all that much. Some minor spreading word of her religion around in some smaller worlds but nothing too big. She had been thinking about doing something similar on this world too but for the time being she would land into the forest and decide after looking around a bit.

It was there that she would find her priestess. "Oh Azumi. I had no idea that you were on this world." Rikka said as she had a small smile on her face as she walked over to her.

/AURORA'S CHAMBER\

As he stepped out of the light of the Save Point, Batman had to hold back a bit of a sneer. This was not where he wanted to exit out of. This place was a bit too bright... like Metropolis. He preferred the darker, dingier sides of the worlds he traveled to. This was not one such place. A small room, with a window that opened to a sunny, lightly clouded sky. He presses a tab on his cowl. "ALFRED, you receiving?" However, he gets no response. "ALFRED?" He pauses, then shakes his head. Of course. ALFRED was down for the moment for minor self-maintenance. So, he was by himself.




/GATES, MALEFICENT'S CASTLE\

Stepping out of a corridor of darkness, Lidia looks around the area, going into states of 'Ooh' and 'Ahh' at the state of desolation it was in. It filled her with a sense of dark glee, and she giggles to herself. "Oh my, oh my, oh my... What a magnificent, dilapidated, dreary, gothic wonder!" Part of her just wanted to begin licking the stones of this place, if only to claim that she did. However, hearing the sound of pattering feet, she turns around. "Ah! Freeloaders." Seeing the stunted bodies with pig-like features, some holding halberds while others hold morningstars. "Seriously? I come here, and you threaten me?" She scoffs. "Idiots." Summoning Anarchy Tiara, she holds it in place. Seeing them tremble, she smirks. "You know what this is, right?" Quickly stepping forwards, a few of the goons stumble back, she laughs. "Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you." Pointing Anarchy Tiara at the goons, small tendrils of darkness seeps out, covering them. "No... you're going to help me." As she says this, her smile goes full-blown psychotic. Seeing the goons kneel before her, she turns away from them. "Now, grab your weapons... and some of you, grab instruments. We're going to march."

Azumi smiled slightly as well, her depolarized visor showing her face, but her helmet not off. Rikka, with her holy light-enhanced strength, could likely remove it quickly and without damaging it, but only if she got a good grip under the sealants, which would require them to not be in any fight any time soon.

"Hello, ma'am. I saw your signal coming in. Is there something you needed to talk about?"

She relaxed a fair bit. It was unlikely that Rikka had much planned in the way of much beyond the religion and expanding her reach, but that made things simple. That said, it wasn't quite as simple as her work for the New Gods... barring that one jerk she always ran into.

The signal from Batman seemed to... disappear? That could only mean one of two things. Either he had left the vicinity of the tracker, or he had landed somewhere on the world. If the ship exploded or his vitals died out, she would know from that range.

This was going to be... quite a day.

(Sorin can initiate Operation: We Forgot To Give this Operation A Name on his post. She's off guard and the setting is set for it, including the mechanics outright stated.)

"Yes, you could say that." Rikka replied. Ever since that talk she had with Akemi back in Atlantica, Rikka had been thinking about what they talked about not to mention her own feelings for Azumi. When they split up after meeting Jess and Audrey, Rikka thought about it more and more. It had started to become something that she just couldn't ignore. She was rather attracted to Azumi.

Rikka knew that Azumi was also attracted to her. It had been obvious for some time but for the most part, Rikka didn't really play into it. She wasn't going to string Azumi along to get her help but now Rikka figured it would be best if she said what she felt with actions rather than words. With one movement she threw off Azumi's helmet and pulled her close for a kiss on the lips.

Even though ALFRED was down for maintenance, Batman could still do his regular routine: Send out the Brother Scouts and begin mapping the world. Pulling them out of his belt, he sends them out to do their work. As he does so, he looks down at the bridge, seeing two people upon it. Activating the telescopic mode in his cowl's vision modes, he takes a closer look. He immediately recognizes one of them: Azumi Ian Wayne, his adopted daughter. While he didn't recognize the other (a female), he could assume that Azumi knew her and was considered a friendly. Seeing the two of them so close, though, he had to raise an eyebrow. Just how friendly were they?


/GATES, MALEFICENT'S CASTLE\

As she stands there watching the goons assemble, Lidia lightly pulls on some of her own hair. Part of her was honestly anxious. Yes, she could control Heartless, and yes, she allowed some of her power to influence a number of them... but could she do the same with a small army? Looking at the group, her perception of how large the group was becoming underscored her thoughts. If she could do this, influence them to do as she wanted, then she would be getting one step closer...

Seeing them all gathered there, Lidia clears her throat. "Okay, do you have what you need?" Seeing a large number of them with weapons, and a small group with musical instruments, she nods. "I guess you do. Now, onwards." Seeing them just stand still, she sighs. "I said..." Pointing out Anarchy Tiara towards the pristine castle in the distance, she screams, "ONWARDS!" As they begin to march, an ominous tune is played by the adjunct goon marching band.

The reaction to the "attack" on her was instinctive at first. Upon having her helmet thrown off, Azumi reached for her handgun at her waist, preparing for a fight and a nonlethal shot if she could make one. Why would she be hurt like this? She couldn't consider why it would--

...

All thought vanished from her mind the moment lips touched lips, her eyes widening in shock. She had never expected this, never expected anything more than being led on, than being forced to watch her from a distance as she worked for her. How could this be? What had she done now, and how could it be... known?

Oh, forget it. Azumi overcame her shock within approximately five seconds, and began, hesitantly, then with vigor, to kiss back, one hand behind the angel's head, running through her hair, while the other was on her waist, rubbing it up and down as she kept going. She couldn't help it, all of her built-up tension over her charge coming out at once as she continued her passion.

Little did she realize, her military partner, who had taken residence within a chip, but was also accessible through the helmet that had been removed, had not turned off the camera inside her equipment that was normally for tactical purposes.

It was these kinds of things that Kira just wished that people just asked about her work with them.

Or didn't. It was really up in the air.

Rikka kept up the kiss, though she was surprised by how passionate Azumi's response to the kiss was. Rikka seemed to have underestimated how much Azumi actually had been attracted to her. Well it was something that didn't matter too much as Rikka wrapped her own arms around Azumi, keeping up the kiss for as long as she could.

Once Rikka couldn't keep it up any long, she broke the kiss, taking a few seconds to catch her breathe. Once she did, she smiled at Azumi. "Well I'm sure you can understand the intent behind that."

Azumi wasn't breathing as heavily, but mostly due to breathing through her nose during that time. She barely had done that, either. While Rikka likely had her body adapted to high altitudes, able to take in more air, Azumi had to rely upon her training in the military and her ability to withstand pressure like that one regarding her air supply. Therefore, Azumi had to adapt, but it was likely that Rikka had the better lung capacity naturally, owing to her need for it in order to have high altitude flight.

Regardless, Azumi wasn't thinking of any of this. Instead, she was just staring, nodding dumbly as she stared at her boss, at the woman to whom she was so attracted even without the contract binding them together... She said nothing about it, not knowing how to verbally ask her how she felt, if she was truly in love or not, or if they just had a mutual infatuation...

...and then she remembered something else entirely, and sighed, closing her eyes. The words out of her mouth were not ones that Rikka was likely to expect, tacitly avoiding the implied question Rikka had lain out for her in terms of giving a response verbally.

/AURORA'S CHAMBER\

From the moment that he saw the two of them kiss, Batman turned off the telescopic mode. He would ask later, but at this time, even he knew enough to let what happened between them stay that way. It would be a major invasion of privacy if he were to intrude now. After all, even if not by birth, Azumi was family.

However, he pauses as receives information back from the Brother Scouts. Apparently, aside from mapping the terrain, they detected a massive amount of movement heading towards this direction. That couldn't be good. Tabbing his cowl, he opens up a comm line to Azumi. "Trouble incoming. Stand ready." Stepping onto the ledge of the window that showed the bridge, Batman leaps out, grabbing a hold of his cape, gliding towards it.


/FOREST CLEARING\

Having guided her makeshift army though the Waterside, Lidia looks ahead towards the bridge. "Ahhh... Potential pets. Wonderful." She turns back towards the massive group. "Okay, stay put. When I give the signal, then you come forward... But not a moment before, you hear me?" Getting a few lulling nods from then, she proceeds to give herself a once-over. "Let's see. No bruises, no scars..." She breathes into her gloved hand a few times, before raising it to her face and sniffing it. "Okay, smells like durian. Not good..." Bringing up Anarchy Tiara to her face, she shoots off a small spell into her open mouth. She smacks her lips a few times. "There we are, minty fresh!" She likewise sniffs one more time. "Alrighty. Clean as a whistle! Now, to garner my new pets..." With that, she steps onto the bridge, making her way forward.

Well it wasn't exactly what Rikka had been hoping to hear from Azumi but it could have been much worse admittedly. "Well I think I can handle that." Rikka replied as she kept hold of Azumi. While Rikka had been in several different relationships during her life back in the Realm of Reality this one was certainly different. Not even counting the fact that Azumi was a place where Rikka had originally thought of as fiction but this was the first full fledged relationship she would have with another woman. She found it nice though.

"So now that part out of the way you should tell me how much you enjoyed that kiss."

Between her adopted father and her boss, Azumi had to judge what to say when. Trouble coming in? She instinctively tensed up a bit, picking up her helmet in her hands. Seeing said father flying out of a window from behind Rikka... well, that was something, too. Best to be on good behavior around him.

She did realize, however, that she had to deal with the kiss. The wording of the request from Rikka was close enough to a command that she had to answer her. That, and after a few times dealing with Dr. Isley and her occasional poison lipstick, she was used to this kind of kiss. It was mostly the shock of who and when. So she responded, putting on the helmet again and fastening it on. "I did enjoy it a lot." She then whispered under her breath. "A close ally told me there's incoming trouble. We can talk later."

With that, she turned around... and saw the young girl. Perhaps... fifteen, sixteen at most? She had a weapon in her hand, some kind of very ornate sword. Azumi instinctively put her hand to her sidearm once again, but did not yet draw. She was ready for a fight, if this armed girl planned on making one.

As she walks upon the bridge, Lidia looks at the two ladies, the wheels in her head beginning to turn. Both were fair to look upon, and more than capable of being able to defend themselves if need be. But, would they be susceptible? Could they acclimate to how she was? Could they be her agents of chaos?

However, her eyes turn upwards, seeing a dark-garbed, menacing figure gliding towards the two ladies, looking like a bat. That... thing was a thing of dark beauty and magnificence, something so glorious, that her face was alight with absolute glee... and more than some avarice and religious rapture. Oh, did she ever want that! The perfect symbol of darkness and power... and she wanted it. Oh, did she ever want it.

---

As he dropped down closer to the bridge, Batman lets go of his cape, dropping to the cobbled stone with a deep 'THUD'. Kneeling behind Azumi and Rikka, he stands up.

Rikka smiled as Azumi responded to the kiss but it seemed like that they couldn't keep it up as they were interrupted. First was a girl and there was just something about her that put Rikka on edge. Part of it at least was the fact that she seemed to have a Keyblade. The first one Rikka had seen due to the Convergence but Rikka was sure that this girl was no a part of any of the games that made her wonder who in the world she was and how she was able to get a Keyblade.

The second interruption was rather interesting as it was Batman himself. It certainly was surreal to be standing with him but it was something Rikka could figure out later. It looked like the Dark Knight did not trust this girl so Rikka felt right with going with her feelings and prepared her scepter for anything. "Excuse me but who are you?" Rikka asked of the girl as there was no reason not to be polite.

Azumi didn't even bother to look at the Caped Crusader as he landed near them. She'd seen these entrances so many times, she'd become desensitized to them.

What she did concentrate on, however, was this girl. She was in her armor, for sure, and therefore was prepared for combat, but Azumi's preparations did not always extend to the realm of magic, unlike Batman. She kept ready, watching carefully, and decided to ask after the angel.

"And, after you answer that, why are you here, and for what purpose?"

"Oh, me?" Flicking her cheeks with her open hand, Lidia tries to snap herself out of the reverie at seeing Batman. "Oh, me, oh, me. Oh, my, oh, my." Shaking her head, she clears her throat. "Who am I? Oh, such a loaded question, to me, at least. A name is limiting, a name is finite... but if you must call me something, Lidia will do." Dismissing the Keyblade, she hops over to the right edge of the bridge and looks down over it. "Wow, that is really, REALLY deep." She titters at this before stepping back to her point.

"As for why... Well, I'm a princess, albeit one without a kingdom. I'm just looking to see what'll work for a kingdom, and who'll join me in my little kingdom crusade, as it were. And well, seeing the three of you... You'd be perfect. A knight." She looks at Batman. "And a couple of ladies-in-waiting." She looks at them, smiling behind her veil. "Granted, I've never seen ladies-in-waiting who were touchy-feely with one another, but I'm willing to give it a shot."

"And I suppose that the large group inside of the forest is just a precautionary measure?" Batman's arms cross over his chest.

Oh, that voice! So deep. So much a knight of mine... I must have him! "Oh, those? They're meant to protect me against anyone who would do me harm, just so that I can stand back and guide them into victory. VICTORY, I SAY! VICTORY!!!"

For a few moments, the only sound on the bridge is that of a cricket.

"Sorry. A bit over the top. Anywho, come along. Join me on my crusade. Help me to build a kingdom that will last until the final light has fallen." Her eyes flash yellow. "So, what do you say?"

This Lidia was already getting on Rikka's nerves. The way she spoke was something that rubbed the angel the wrong way. That was before even counting all the other problems that Rikka had with her little offer.

"I'm sorry and I don't know about him." Rikka said as she looked toward Batman. "But I likely to speak for Azumi here when I say that we decline. I'm looking to reach a position much higher than anything like princess or even queen so a position like a lady in waiting is something that I don't want." Rikka could feel something from Lidia and she didn't know what it exactly was though she had an idea. With Lidia's eyes flashing the way they did and Rikka's own powers over light she was likely that she was someone with powers over darkness. And really that would be bad for her image as a goddess of light.

"..."

Azumi was...rather unimpressed by Lidia's display. She was more in line with the ideals of Darkseid, but none of his charms. And considering that New God had no such charms, that was saying a lot. She respected some villains and villainesses, but most had the sense to at least attempt to show actual class. In the very least, to show brains.

Requesting that Batman join her crusade? Okay, that she could forgive. He wasn't exactly the most subtle about his darkness-affinity, though it was for good causes. With herself, same deal, given the unforgiving black armor she usually wore.

Requesting that Rikka do the same? A woman with white, feathered wings of an angel, with horns of gold and a gold and white armor? Not quite the same level of forethought.

For that reason, she nodded to Rikka's assessment, pointedly ignoring the comment about being a "lady in waiting", which she technically was to Rikka in addition to her priestess. "I'll have to turn you down on that one. But congrats on not having the same physical ugliness as the others who have your kind of thought process I've seen. Really, I mean it, even if I have no interest in joining you. Now then, I'll say this once. Get out of here and do not come back. If you don't do that, this will not end well for you."

"Oh? Now that... that's an absolute shame. Really is, right and true." Lidia's eyes are disappointed at this, but light up as she realizes that only two of the three answered. "But, that was for you fine ladies." Her eyes turn towards the Batman. "And what about you, you brooding, beefy badass? Shall you be my dark knight?"

"First thing. Never call me that." As he says this, Batman reaches behind his back.

"What? Dark knight? I think it's rather... dashing." Getting a glare from him, she frowns. "Oh... the other thing. Sorry. All the muscles, and the suit, Oh, and that voice... Sorry."

"Second, I already serve something else." As he continues to hold his hand behind his back, Batman pulls out a few smoke bombs. "I serve Gotham and the world at large."

"Oh. No way to change your allegiance? Nothing that can sway you to see things my way?" Getting a shake of the head, Lidia sighs at this. "Well... It's a shame, then. I was being polite before by asking." Her Keyblade once more appears in her hand. "Now, I won't be so polite." She clears her throat. "GENTLEMEN! TIME TO DO YOUR DUTY!" As she yells this, the numbers of Maleficent's goons pop out, ready to attack.

It was obvious to Rikka that this encounter was going to end this way. There was no way that she, Azumi and Batman would want to work for Lidia so her jumping right to violence afterwards wasn't much of a surprise. Really the fact that she was attacking them with something other than Heartless was a bigger surprise.

Rikka smirked as she twirled her scepter as it changed into a spear. With all the training she received from Azumi and Akemi, Rikka was much more confident about her fighting skills than the last time she fought. The angel spun her spear around and struck one of the goons that came close to her. All in all Rikka was confident as Azumi was an experienced soldier and Batman was Batman. Really these goons were going to be something minor. The real issue is going to be Lidia and what she can do.

Azumi was similarly unsurprised. However, though she did not go with deliberately lethal tactics like her boss, she did not stray away from maneuvers that nearly strayed outside of the bounds of less-than-lethal anyway.

As she was attacked by a portly, porcine warrior with a pointed polearm. leaning back from an incoming slash at her head, she grabbed it by the middle of the shaft, kicking the goon in the face and causing him to stumble back, also losing his grip as he shouted in pain. Before he could react, she turned it over, and stabbed into his right foot, through it, and into the ground, hard. It was a nonlethal maneuver, but one that would definitely hinder him. As she heard the scream of pain, she took out her knife and stabbed down hard into his other foot, causing another scream before she gave a hard uppercut on standing with her own knife still in hand, knocking him out...

...and causing him to explode into a brief gout of green fire, taking his spear with him. Luckily, the mystical flames did not actually injure her, but it was a way of showing that this was how their fights would go here.

She also saw as one of the vulture-like ones was knocked out by Rikka, another of the pig-like ones impaled through the chest and used as a goon-shield against an incoming arrow from an archer before she flew at that one and took it out as well. She was so good at this now.

That said, she wasn't losing her focus. She jumped over a low blow with a mace, using the same motion to grab the monstrous humanoid by the back of the neck and knee him in the face before dropping down on his neck and grabbing the mace from the ground. Standing and stepping aside, she simultaneously kicked the owner of the weapon in the head and threw said weapon at another of the archers that was coming toward Batman. To her plan, she distracted the fiend, the flare of green flames causing a flinch long enough for him to likely take it out.

That was not to say they were safe, as Azumi herself was getting dangerously close to the summoner who wielded that strange bladed weapon, a situation of which Kira warned her quickly.

"Get out of there right now, soldier! Away from the kid!"

But it was likely too late. If this "princess" wanted to do something, it would likely be now.

As the cadre of cruel corrupted creatures brawl against the two ladies, a sizable number breaks off and converge around the Dark Knight of Gotham, wielding maces and poleaxes. Tossing the smoke bombs that he had palmed onto the ground, it envelops the small area around him in smoke. Inside, the combination of vultures and boars rushed at him. Knocking down two of the ones holding poleaxes, he grabs the weapons and pulls back on the poles, breaking them. Holding the broken pieces of the weapons, he makes use of them as makeshift tonfa, using them to pummel and disable, not to kill. They weren't human to his knowledge, but they were somewhat intelligent and being manipulated by this crazed young woman.

Lidia stands there, watching the fight. All three of them were more than capable fighters, but which one would she target first? While she wanted to dive head-first into the veritable mess that was the mind of the Batman, perhaps it would behoove her to start with something... easier. Her eyes settle on the one in armor. With a devious smile on her face, she leaps at Azumi. "BANZAI!" As she lands in front of the young woman, the area around them is enveloped in a dome of darkness. "So... shall we begin?" Her smile deepens even more, baring teeth at her intended prey. She fades away as the look inside the dome changes, taking on the appearance of a place very dear and familiar to Azumi: Her adopted homeworld of Gotham City, and in particular, a dank cave filled with wondrous technology. Inside, the group of heroically garbed individuals (along with one dressed in an impeccible suit) that called this place base were fighting off a group of warriors in dark garb.

Pushed back by the creation of the dome, Batman lands on his feet. He pulls out a set of explosive Batarangs, but are dropped as a group of the minions literally pile on top of him, attempting to keep him down. As such, a similarly sized group try to do the same to Rikka.

The tackle, the change in scene... Azumi would have been forgiven, what with her lack of magical experience, to believe that she had been teleported back to the Batcave. Barbara and Tim defending alongside Dick...

Her focus changed. She would concentrate on ending this fight as efficiently as possible, then find her way back and save her father and employer.

Taking the offensive, she opted to a strategy that would be familiar, albeit brutal, to her fellow wards and her father's butler. She scowled at the assassins, and ran at one of them, taking out his own knife from a sheathe on his leg and stabbing him in the thigh with it. As he shouted in pain, she was already on the move, yanking the knife out and slashing his hamstrings before kicking him to the ground, the blade in the same leg as before. One of them came at her now, a scimitar in hand, and she ducked under a swipe aimed at head, and chopped under his armpit with one hand, causing him to be sent off balance. As another slashed at her back, she narrowly avoided it with a step forward before grabbing him from behind her, taking them both by the necks and slamming their heads together before going to the next.

This one was a woman, armed with a knife of her own. She muttered a word to the soldier. "Sabh." Her name in the Society. Not exactly unknown, but one that she did acknowledge as a kind of half respect. Slashing away, she forced Azumi back for a moment before she drew her own combat knife, engaging in a duel of sorts.

She remained, however, unaware of Kira's demands that she stop this farce and focus on the actual enemy, evidently too far under the spell unless she could get a way to contact her within the illusion that she had not been teleported at all.

Rikka grit her teeth as she stabbed another of the creates. Their inhuman appearance as well as the fact that they disappeared in flames helped Rikka treat them like Heartless. Thankfully they weren't that strong and her armor was able to handle anything that they tried hitting her with. The problem would come once Lidia joined into the fight and Rikka hated being right when she jumped Azumi and seemed to trap them within a sphere of darkness.

The angel scowled as she was swarmed even more by Lidia's minions. Twirling her spear she switched to the whip firm and used it to try and keep them away from her. Whatever Lidia was doing with that Darkness could not be good and considering that Rikka was the only one of them that had any kind of powers and said powers being over light, it mean that she was the only one that could try to save her. How she awas going to do that, Rikka wasn't sure but she would figure something out.

"Hey! Cover me! I might be able to break through that Darkness!" Rikka called out to Batman as she started glowing white,

As the battle continued inside of the dome, Lidia's voice comes through, though she cannot be seen. "Oh come on, lady. You're dealing with assassins. Unrelenting, fierce, and utterly fanatical to their cause. They won't stop until their target is dead, or they are. And you..." It feels like a warm wind upon Azumi's neck, before Lidia's voice lowers. "You know how to kill. You've done so. And I know you want to. I can see it." There is a lick against the back of Azumi's helmet from an unseen source. "I can taste it. So do it. Let yourself go. Be free and true to who you are. Don't be bound by the laws of others."

Lidia's words are not heard by the echoes within the dome. As such, the female assassin begins her strikes against Azumi. Mostly testing, consisting of feinting slashes from her own knife, but coupled with a few kicks and punches to further test the waters against Azumi, or rather, Sahb.

Outside of the dome, the Batman is able to force his way out of the pile of minions. Hearing Rikka, he reaches into his belt and removes his shock knuckles. He barely has enough time to slip them on and activate them before he is besieged again. "Easier said than done." As he says this, he knocks one of the minions off of the bridge.
