Seras nodded. She and Faro (and presumably everyone else) reached where the ships were. Seras and Faro looked around for any obvious signs of a threat. The would try to look casual while doing this.
Out at the horizon, people by the ships would notice two tiny bright objects heading in their direction. As the objects started to draw nearer, it became strikingly more clear as to what it was. Two of the knights from the broadcast were flying through the sky, riding atop of almost glowing white horses. Their manes made of a sparkling light while their hooves ran with white flames trailing behind them.
The speed at which they approached was dwarfed what any natural horse could ever dream to achieve, making the ground towards the ship swiftly. One with excessively acute vision would see a finch sized bird fly away from the knights before disappearing.

Once he planted the tracking device on Dave's ship, Sam stood up and approached the Sworder. Crouching down besides the ship, Sam took the second tracking device and pressed the buttons at the side, a red light flashing once to singal activation. With the Sworder having no landing gear ports to stick the tracker in, Sam settled for sticking it on the hull, near the back of the ship. With the second tracking device planted, Sam stood up, and approached Hans' Valkyrie, planting the third and final tracking device in a landing gear port like he had done with Dave's ship.
[color=edc393]"And that's that."[/color] Sam said to himself as he stood up, and began making his way back to Elm, his words rendered silent inside the helmet. By the time the group returned to the ship, he had walked out of the field the ships were docked at.
Elm noted the approach of the knights on its sonar, which it used when rendered blind by the ussage of its cloaking field. It didn't do much more then acknowledge the approach of the knights, keeping stationary with its cloaking field up.

Having their backs turned towards the ships, Caius and Yeul didn't notice the approach of the ships, initially. Soon, however, Caius stopped, picking up on the sound of the galloping.
"What is it?" Yeul asked Caius as he stopped, looking up to him.
"I hear something. Behind us, and closing in." He responded, turning around. Looking up to the sky, Caius placed a hand horizontally over his brow to shield his eyes from the glare of the sun. "And that would be the knights."
Now with there being no point in heading to the bounty store, Caius instead moved back to the ships to greet the knights, Yeul following behind him.

<color=purple>"Incoming masses above us. They're headed towards the ships. Move quickly back there!"
"It must be the knights. Let's get ready. I'll start gathering energy along the way back there." EMily said, and the sisters dashed for the ships, glowing brighter and brighter in their respective colors.

Since the knights were making a very obvious entry, Seras and Faro watched them closely. They didn't think it would be a good idea to attack them, however.
While going through pre-flight procedures, you notice a beeping alert warning you something on your hull. As you quickly notice a signal from it, you realise there is incoming at the horizon. With a swear, you run outside and head over to the other ship, banging on the side by the entrance to get the attention of those inside.
The knights wouldn't initially go down to the ground, instead staying up in the air as they circled around the area. Since they knew it was going to be a trap, at least surveying the area was the minimum they could do. Close inspection would see one drawing his sword as he pointed it down at the various ships, keeping it pointed at each one for a moment.

Sophia by this point was already in the bath, although hearing the bang of metal she wondered what was going on outside.

The sisters stopped before the clearing in the trees, not wanting to make their presence noticed just yet. They stood behind some flora so they could gather the knights' incoming positions. Gwen closed her eyes as well as the other sisters to concentrate on gathering energy and information on their surroundings.
"I'm at half maximum energy. Once I'm at max, I'll shift into Photon Form."

Seras and Faro looked up at the knights as they circled around.
OOC: Trees? Where are we exactly?

Gwen would only be able to pick up on the two knights that were overhead, otherwise it seemed like there weren't anymore in the immediate area for them to worry about. She would have a hard time picking up the horses however, feeling like they were there, but also not at all.
Seeing some group members return from town, and Shara leaving her ship to alert those inside others, Caius scowled slightly. That eliminates the possibility of speaking in private... Looking back up to the knights, and seeing one of them draw his sword, Caius looked back down to the rest of the group and hummed to himself.
"What will you do now?" Yeul asked Caius, looking down from the knights up to him, and then up to the knights again, taking steps to turn herself around and follow their movement.
"Show a sign of good will." He responded. Taking a step forward, Caius took the sword of his back, switched to a reverse grip, and jabbed the tip of the blade in the ground, then took two steps back and looked up to the knights again.

Samus looked up at the knights, keeping her armour on but depolarising her visor so her face could be seen.
Winona and Gwen were at maximum. EMily engaged her Photon Form.
"Keep your eye on those knights. Make sure they don't attack our ships. Incapacitate them if they attack. We want answers from them, remember?" She reminded anyone in the immediate vicinity.

The knights still above the ships seemed circle Dave's specifically, the one that hadn't drawn his weapon held gauntlet aloft as a bow started to fabricate from light in his hand. Once formed, he brought the bow pointed down to Dave's ship and started to pull back the 'string' of the bow.
The other knight with the sword quickly noticed the christmas lights the Mason sisters were making of themselves, turning the horse to have a better look at their direction, bringing up his sword to the sky.
(We might need to get some groups going perhaps, but can I get a list of all the people that are currently available in teh chat please?)
Seeing one of the two knights form a bow, and draw the string back, Caius frowned slightly, bringing the hand he wasn't holding over his eyes to his mouth, cupping it. "Hold your attack!" He called out. "I would have questions to ask." Despite his efforts, Caius wasn't very convinced he could stop a fight from breaking out, and so, he looked down to Yeul and said,
"Yeul, move back and seek cover. I do not believe this would lead to anything but violence."
Yeul gave a nod, and began to move away.

Reaching the place where he had parked the jet-bike, Sam approached it and pressed the second of the two buttons on the side of his helmet, activating the speaker to render him audible when speaking, while keeping the faceplate down.
[color=edc393]"I did what you've asked. And it looks like I got back just in time."[/color] He stated, climbing back onto the jet-bike, and resting his elbows on the helm.
"Are you reffering to the two humanoid shapes circling above the ships at high speed?" El questioned.
[color=edc393]"Got it."[/color] Sam confirmed, giving a small nod, looking up towards the knights. [color=edc393]"It looks likethe knights I heard about while snooping around. Might be a fight, soon."[/color]

You head inside Dave's ship and tell the robot to prepare for takeoff. He informs you the ship will be ready in five minutes. With a nod and quick warning about a tracking beacon maybe being on the ship you head back out.
OoC: Demon isn't here, but I think this is alright.

Joel removed his coat and gloves, tossing them aside as he moved out into the open. As the knights weren't close enough for him to attack, he decided to extend the blade in his left forearm, in case he needed it.
