Seras and Faro continued to look up at the knights, growing increasingly wary of them. They still didn't want to do anything threatening however.

[color=Brog the Kind]"We already know of your plan for a trap! How foolish you were to lead us to her."[/color] The knight with the sword boomed, his helmet moving as he spoke to differentiate the two. [color=Brog the Kind]"There will be time for words once the foul taint of that accursed monster is cleaned from this new world! I pray you have not been fouled to fall fully to her."[/color]

The knight with the bow had formed a rather large arrow of light, although he hadn't fired it yet, the arrow seemed to be solidifying to the point that it seemed moments from being ready to fire.

[hr]

Although Sophia hadn't clued in on just how much danger she was in, the anxiousness of the situation made her get out of the tub to dry off. Maybe it was nothing major and she could quickly hop back in before the water grew cold.

Having been warned about the knights having arrived, Vicky elected to stay close to Sophia through the ordeal. She walked to the bathroom and knocked on the door.
Code:
"Looks like trouble's here. Might wanna consider putting in some hustle."
She called through the door, not intending to actually enter and simply knocking to get attention.

Caius looked to Yeul move away, then looked back up to the one of the knights once they spoke. "That was not my intent!" Caius called out, a hand cupped around his mouth again to amplify his voice. "The allegations of serial killing, robberry, what prove do you have of this? This I wish to know. Can you not stay your hand until you have explained yourself?" he asked, then paused for a brief moment.

"Your mark is in one of these vessels, you are correct. And they have but one exit, no other means of escape. As such, you need not worry for the one you search for eluding you if you take pause to elaborate on your position?" Caius stated, not bothering to deny Sophia was in the ship, as the knights clearly knew.

Yeul had moved behind a tree, and crouched down besides it, peeking around the trunk.

"Seriously I have had enough of this." EMily said walking powerfully forward. "You are going to explain to me the truth behind this whole hunt. No more talk of 'purifying the world', 'destroying a monster', or your legal rules on your planet. Because I'm not going to attack anyone until we get answers. And don't you dare attempt to lie to me; my skills see through the most heinous of lies." Her voice boomed as a scowl came across her and Gwen's face.

And Gwen activated her Graviton Form.
<color=purple>"Do not attempt to attack us. Now get your butts down here and tell us the truth behind the charges. Or we will find out the truth for ourselves."

And Winona's form was activated as well.
<color=green>"Laws are only relative. What matters is the truth!" The tiny voice shouted as best she could.

Samus dissipated the armour, holding up both hands to show she wasn't carrying a weapon, trying to avoid a fight.

You quickly march up to Samus and quietly tell her that the ship will be ready to go in five minutes, and that you need to keep them occupied until then. You add that your own ship can be used for evac once the others are airborne.

"I know I know." Sophia shouted from inside the bathroom, quickly toweling herself off enough she wouldn't slip across the floor, and then started to get dressed. It would take very little time after for her to unlock the door and swing it open, her pants nearly on her, and her shirt definitely on backwards. "W-what's happening?" she asked, anxiousness in her voice.

[hr]

[color=Samson the Clever]"She's moving."[/color] The knight with the bow snorted to his comrade.

[color=Brog the Kind]"Understood."[/color] He replied, not turning his head from the people below. [color=Brog the Kind]"Whether there is one escape or many, the only path she is to take any longer is death. If she wants to bring a new age of war to these lands so boldly, she will find knights prepared for war are far more potent than the ones she killed in cold blood."[/color] He boomed right back to the group, seemingly unaffected by the groups call for words alone, the already established importance of stopping Sophia being far more important to them. The fact that Shara was whispering secrets and Samus nodding to said secrets not helping the group's cause to make them any less suspicious.

[color=Brog the Kind]"The truth you so desperately cry for is simple, Sophia Aethis after evading us with the use of a gate stone, doubled back and killed the remaining members of the Order of Sanctity before fleeing here!"[/color] He announced.

With that being said, the bow Knight fired off the shot towards the ship. If nothing stopped it, it would make a tremendous dent in the hull, but not quite piercing it. The ship if hit would shake rather violently too, throwing its occupants off balance.

Caius scowled as the bow-wielding knight loosened his arrow. Taking two steps forward, Caius reached for his sword, pulling it out of the ground and looking up to the knights. He wondered for a moment if he should continue trying to talk the knights down, but realised it would be futile. He then thought if he should help combat the knights, but decided against this very quickly, as this would put too much distance between himself and Yeul.

Putting the sword on his back, he approached Yeul with a quick pace.

"We should get Sophia to safety." Yeul said once Caiused reached her position.

"No." Caius responded, shaking his head, and crossing his arms. "For now, it is better that she stays where she is. Furthermore, I saw the pilot of the third airship whisper to Samus, possibly stratagising. Let us see where this goes, before undertaking any further action."
[hr]
[color=edc393]"Ah. They start to dance."[/color] Sam idly comment as he saw the first shot being loosed, largely speaking to himself. [color=edc393]"Let's see what these knights can do."[/color]

The sisters rocketed up in the air towards the knight's positions with both plasma thrusts and gravity pulls. They hovered in the air with grace and power.
"I want proof that what you say is true. I need more than just your word. I want physical evidence!" EMily demanded. "And cease this fire at once!"

<color=brown>"Schrødinger, I'm about to pull in if this gets too out of hand."

You pull your blaster out of its holster when the knights open fire, and while your first instinct is to return the favour you chose to hold off for the moment.

The projectile hit the ship, but the damage was reduced by going through the energy shields surrounding it. While it still impacted, it left only a moderate dent to show for it, in addition to a loud clang that echoed through the ship.

As EMily and Gwen rocketed toward the knights still riding in the air, the knight with the sword extended upwards brought it down with a meaty swing as they approached, effectively cutting off EMily's plea for them to show proof. A blast of white fire launched towards the duo, although Gwen would notice it had significantly less mass than it looked, and EMily would notice its EM readings didn't match what a normal white flame would produce. [color=Brog the Kind]"I told you to turn back, but I see her grip on you two is too much to bear."[/color] He spat back at them angrily, almost sounding disappointed.

The man with the bow grimaced as he noticed the barrier, concluding he might be able to get a better shot from one of the sides instead. Looking at the Mason sisters approaching, he glanced at the others around, and as he flew noticed Samus activate her armour and start pointing the glowing gun at them. [color=Samson the Clever]"The armoured one is preparing a spell!"[/color] He announced as he rode along, planning to try to shoot into the entry way of the ship. In the mean time however, he let loose three shimmering arrows towards Samus. One to her right, left and dead center. He then pulled a fourth as he kept an eye on her.

[hr]

As the arrow impacted the ship, Sophia squealed loudly as she covered her ears, and duck and covered.

You roll sideways as the arrows are fired towards you and Samus, coming up in a crouch. You flick your blaster to full-auto, and fire of a stream of low-power shots against the man with the bow.

Code:
"If I had to guess, I'd say we're under attack."
Vicky braced herself against the wall of the ship as the impact hit. She knelled down to Sophia and said,
Code:
"I'm gonna need you to stay calm. We need to find someplace safe to hunker down."
She called her knife and tossed it over to her right hand.

The three boosted out of the way of the swings, with Winona giving some extra energy so that EMily and Gwen would still have plenty afterwards. It was made even easier by the fact that the sword was metal.
<color=purple>"And we're not going to stop until we have proof." Gwen said, and she put a gravity well around the knights to hold them in place.

EMily zipped forward to the back of the knight by using light speed. She clamped one of her hands on the knight's head with enhanced strength from being in Photon Form. All thoughts from the knight seemed to hear a loud presence within him.
You are going to give me proof. Whether you like it or not. Either you are a liar or Sophia did do these things. Either way I'm a scientist, and I'm tired of putting up with this nonsense. And neither you or your men are going to get in my way. So show me what she did. And. Don't. Tell. Lies. She summoned Photon with the other hand. And it began recording his brain activity.

<color=purple>"I suggest you don't struggle."

Samus jumped out of the way, the thrusters on her boots flaring. She landed, dodging the arrows, then fired off the charged plasma shot at the archer, sending a ball of roiling flame his way.

Caius stood where he was, and continued to watch over the scene. Although he stood with his arms crossed, he was far from relaxed, carefully watching the knights, ready to react if either of the two would aim an attack toward im and his charge, even if he thought in the back of his head, the chances of them being able to inbetween defending themselves from the rest of the group was slim.

Yeul watched on from behind the tree, a bit more cautious. Although her eye was on the battle, her thoughts were with Sophia, wondering how she was doing, and if she even knew who it was that attacked the ship.
[hr]
[color=edc393]"Well, this looks like it won't last long."[/color] Sam commented as he watched EMily near the knight as fast as she did, boredom begining to creep into his tone.

"I don't see how these people's enemies - these knights - are flying, though. It looks like they're sitting." Elm commented as it 'watched' the battle, unable to pick up on the immaterial horses on its sonar.

[color=edc393]"Hrmm. They're riding some kind of glowing, flying horses."[/color] Sam stated, then sat upright and shrugged. [color=edc393]"Or something. Looks flashy, though."[/color]

The archer seeing how Samus jumped back instantly loosed the fourth shot to where she was going to be after she jumped out of the way. This one would be much stronger than the last three. He would then dive out of the way of the shots from Shara and Samus. [color=Samson the Clever]'Damn it!'[/color] He thought as he saw the sisters seemingly teleport to his comrade.

[color=Brog the Kind]'Where did she-'[/color] The knight with the sword thought as EMily disappeared before noticing her grip on the back of his helmet. [color=Brog the Kind]"What sorcery is this?"[/color] He exclaimed, trying to turn his head to see her. EMily would also find holding onto him as she was excessively painful, although in her state she'd be able to hang on.


After a sizable chunk of data was collected, both Gwen and EMily would notice a voice in their own heads. [color=Order of Sanctity]'The Order of Sanctity will not fall to the Cult of Bob and its compatriots!'[/color] It roared at them, Gwen's gravity well cracking and failing as EMily got a severe gash to her hand she was holding the helmet with. Additional attempts for Gwen to form a gravity well would seem to have little to no effect on the knight.

[hr]

"How the hell do you expect me to be calm!? They are right outside!" She shouted back at Victoria, visibly panicking.
