022 - Steiner - Action in Alexandria

[captain-rusty.livejournal.com]

[While the great eidolon Alexander has appeared to protect the city, Steiner is outside the city gates, staunchly defending it from any and all intruders. The Alexandrian army has been fully mobilised and his small band of Pluto Knights are as yet standing firm.]

This is it. Go, go!

[As he cuts down yet another foe, he is reminded of the time that Alexandria was invaded by swarms of Mistodons... Kuja's doing. He's determined not to let that happen again.]

[Beatrix has watched and listened to everything that has occurred since the stream of monsters arrived. Watched and listened, and hardly been able to handle things inwardly as well as she'd like.

Lindblum. Burmecia. The other parts of Gaia. Beatrix cannot split herself in different pieces and send each piece off to do what needs to be done.

She knows very well her place is to remain in Alexandria.]

Steiner.

[She's worked her way to him, broadsword going this way and that to make her path clear. Unfortunately, it seems like each time she cuts one down, another appears right in its place.]

Should not one of us be with Her Majesty if something should happen?

[Except... she really wanted to stay wherever he was. Capable of holding his own or not, the influx of missing memories too easily affected how she felt. And hopefully, not how she would execute her actions.]

She has ordered us to protect the city.

[He fends off a snarling wolf, then raises his sword to face some kind of shining elemental, an Entite crackling with the power of lightning. There's hardly time to reply or catch his breath, let alone think about strategy.]

Beatrix... I shall go back if you wish!

[She shakes her head, steel cutting through flesh that isn't hers. She doesn't have the time to check and see how he's faring. He seems to be fine, however. As long as he's vertical and breathing, that's really most of what matters. If he ends up wounded, she'll take care of him.]

Unnecessary. We will do as she requests. You and I can handle things here.

[Together, but she doesn't need to say that either.]

[Of course. Steiner simply nods. Onwards and upwards!

Another wolf meets its end at his hands, but it's the Entite that's the really difficult foe. Resistant to physical attacks, it's going to take a lot of hacking and slashing to defeat.]
