Kagari sekirei
Minato shared Shiina’s flinch and shudder. Yukari was zapping away with an alien staff-thing, cackling with mad glee whenever she lined up a particularly tricky shot. Shiina was behind Yukari, ready to grab any alien that made it to the barrier or unleash a full-strength blast if a mass of aliens swarmed them. The local cops, Seo, and Yukari were taking advantage of it, just as they’d used Kusano’s giant thorn-barrier and looping vines to herd fliers and foot-soldiers to where they stood a chance at shooting the creeps. I think we’re starting to build a barricade. Though fliers that headed their way had to dodge lightning from both sides and any that made it past Hikari and Hibiki got smashed by wind, water, and balls of angry fire. The streets of New York were a chaos of gunshots and purple-gray armored aliens, with more roaring through the skies to unleash bolts of energy on anyone unlucky enough to be in range. Probably not what most people would think of as safe, Minato had to admit, as Musubi landed with them by a knot of stunned cops and bystanders. Metal and plastic tore, as Musubi yanked off half the side of the bus, jumping in to pluck them out so fast his ears popped. His left wrist caught on one of the tumbling seats damn it, Minaka’s tracker was going to kill them and he hadn’t even done anything yet. Minato dove for shivering terror, clutching cloth and a shrieking child as the bus rocked and spun, purple-white light searing past his ear. The world tumbled, steel screaming around them. “The good guys are fighting the monsters, I promise.” Bracing his feet against a toppled bench, he held out his hand. Smoke drifted past Minato’s nose he wondered how much of it was Kagari’s.

“.Monsters.” A black leather handbag shifted, before the shivering girl pulled it back on top of her. “Hang on, we’re going to get you out of here.”

“Hey,” he said, hoping years of lessons had stuck and he really was speaking decent English. If the bus had been even a little upright she could have climbed out, no problem despite the helter-skelter pile of luggage on top of her, she didn’t look hurt. Clinging white-knuckled to the sideways seat, Minato Sahashi ignored the shrill energy blasts outside and focused on the little girl huddled against the shattered bus window.
