KITANAI!!

[Maiden Miki]

But isn't it obvious? Erika-Chan must wage war against the filthy infidels who seek to bring dirt and grime to the fair land! Take up your mop Erika-Chan! Smite the dust bunnies and see them driven before you!

"If you're looking for me I am right here," says the real Tashira, as she pulls at the loose strands of cloth entrapping poor ol' Marco. The bandages spin and spin like a dreidel before opening fully up and revealing a squeeky clean (and quite dizzy) girl where once a crash young man had been!

"Ooh! You are so adorable" coos Tashira, fawning over her latest creation.

"As for you Miss Kage," says the Maid, turning her attention back to Meiko, "I seek to rid this town of pollution and filth, nothing more, nothing less! Of course I wouldn't expect someone as crass as you to appreciate that!"

(Something is very strange. True Tashira in the past has been known to be a bit of a fruit cake, yet this is strange even for her...)

(And I have no idea who Tashira is nor can't remember if she is a product of Meiko's)

"I clearly understand. The people of this place do need to be cleanse," said Meiko as she looked over at Marco and then back at the ninja maid. "It just doesn't do the town good to turn every person into one of us though."

[Jello Shot Mischa]

The CTC troops are able to position themselves as needed, as Tashira is too busy dealing with the two scallywags before her.

(( Whoa, wow... this thread suddenly advanced a fair bit last night. XD ))

The squad splits up! The two snipers move atop nearby buildings, finding themselves some nice open spaces with a good view of the alley and the surrounding area as they set up their rifles. Two other troopers accompany them, hanging further back to watch over the snipers.

Meanwhile, the remaining soldiers form up and then spread out, taking up positions near the entrance to the alley as the fighting starts to break out. The squad leader remains near the vehicle, accompanied by a young girl in body armor. Once the team's in position, he nods to himself.

"Sir, we've got combat occuring the in the alley. It's hard to say, but I think another individual has shown up to confront target alpha."

"Identify as target bravo." The squad leader toggles his commlink. "Command, the situation appears to be worsening here. ETA on support?"

"Air support is en route. Identified potential organizational contact situation."

The squad leader lets out a groan at that. "Great, another diplomatic meeting? Getting hamstrung by the brass is all we need..."

As the CTC soldiers wait, a pair of silvery, spheroid drones come hovering down the street, one of them proceeding into the alleyway to examine the fighting!

Meanwhile, Mischa kind of hangs out off to one side... not really sure if he wants to get involved in the whole situation. :3

"I clearly understand. The people of this place do need to be cleanse," said Meiko as she looked over at Marco and then back at the ninja maid. "It just doesn't do the town good to turn every person into one of us though."

Tashira is a Ninja Maid, (formerly just ninja), who was created by Lian in a job fair scenario. She existed prior to the Hidden Mansion Village but allied to hone her skillz.

"Oh you mean, that you want me to turn people into maids like you do? I am not the best candidate to do that. My friend Lavender is more likely to transform someone than I am. I never did have that power. I just fought all kinds of nasty mean ugly monsters since I inherited my mother's powers and then later became a Sailor Senshi." Maid Erika said as she started to sweep up dirt.

[Raleigh]

*Dust swirls and gathers to form a human body standing atop one of the observing CTC drones.* Hm... I wonder if I should step in or not. To put down the rogue maid ninja or enlist her? *He leans over and waves into the drone's camera.* Hey, care to tell me what you have on this one? I'm not sure if I've seen her before. *Mumbled to himself.* For that matter it did transform at least one of my students too so I should perhaps intervene.

"I wha?" Marcia asked as she wobbled a little, but quickly managed to catch herself. "Whoa, um, what happened?" She asked, looking over herself. "I look kinda high class, and that's some long hair, you know?" She asked, moving her hand through it.

She also gives herself a sniff. "I smell pretty, too."

[Maiden Miki]

"So is that all you wish to seek?" asked Meiko as she had her hand on the handle to her left. Being the wise Maid Kage she is thought it was best to wait before determining her next frame of action.

((Darn, my last post was suppose to be a PM. How squirelly o.o))

Droid-O Vision:

<Static-Static>

While Erika the humble maid might not be able a wizard at the transformation arts, Erika the Magical Ninja Meido finds within the confines of her head the knowledge to turn even the filthiest of hobos into a sweet, obedient maid! In fact, perhaps she might wish to test her new-found knowledge out? Saaay, against those CTC troops lurking nearby. Although they do their best to be seen, Erika's meido-senses surely detect the dirt and sweat from the Special Forces group!


One of Tashira's clones Meido-senses tingle at the approach of the wizard. A wizard composed of dust? DESECRATION!!! O.O


Indeed Marco DOES smell pretty. He smells just like freshly sliced watermelon on a crisp summer day to be precise, with just a hint of strawberry for good measure.

"You turned out fine," says a beaming Tashira, patting the girl on the head. "Now, I suggest you go attend to your studies. Your Aunt Tashira has to deal with this liberally dressed and ill mannered pest."

A heavy pile of textbooks manifest over Marco-Chan's head.

She turns her attention to Meiko again.

"What I seek is purity. Order. Perfection!" she shouts forming the handsign for vacuum cleaner. The air suddenly grows cold as tiny pebbles begin to lift up off the ground, super saiyan style. It appears that Tashira is about to pull of a powerful jutsu... and Mischa could be right in the cross-hairs if he isn't too careful.

[Maiden Miki]

"Perfection....A task that many meidos have tried only to find failure," said Meiko as she formed a few hand signs herself. "Soap Clone Jitsu."

Soon all the clones and Meiko disappear to avoid the sucking of the powerful jitsu.

"My studies?" Marcia asked, looking confused. "Why do I have to study? I'm just fine the way I, and don't need to get betterer, you know? Also, I have studies now?" She finished, cutely tilting her head to the side. When the textbooks manifest, she can't help but look up and point. "Um... that's going to hurt, isn't it?"

(( Oooh, sending Erika after me? This might get tricky... ))

The CTC drones detect the increasing threat, and extrude electrolasers, their capacitors whining keenly as they charge.

The squad leader frowns to himself. "Vanguard, use the drones to cover your advance!" He checks his comm. "Fireteam, we've gotten clearance to use the AFC2! Prepare to gas that alleyway!"

In the distance, the sound of an approaching rotorcraft can be heard!

[Feng]

Tashira follows up by making the sign for Feather Duster, followed by Dustbin. It was fortuitous that Meiko chose at the moment to seek shelter! Why?


FWOOOOOOOOSH!

A ginormous blast of black energy is hurled at top speed, missing Meiko but hitting an inattentive Mischa instead. Oh noes! o.o

As for Marco-Chan, the books land gently on her head. No need to use that cliche, non? Bruises are not proper wear for an upstanding woman of high society anyways...

(( Oh yeah, I'd forgotten he was in danger. XD ))

Mischa yelps, as the blast of black energy strikes him!

[Feng]

((It's important to keep track of these things! ))

The cone of energy hits poor, unsuspecting Mischa right in the chest. As the blast from the Meido's kinjutsu works its devilry on his body, the poor boy feels as though his entire skeleton is melting away from the sheer intensity of the wave! Muscles and fat are next, followed by other important bodily organs. Despite this, Mischa still finds himself 'alive' or at the very least sentient through the entire ordeal.

The wave subsides...

Where once was an inattentive boy lie only his shoes. Oh and a pile of funny black material. Is that his skin?!? O.o

While Magical Ninja Meido Erika is cleaning she senses something. "Is that what I am supposed to do transform dirty people into maids? That surely is not right to change someone like that. If that is my duty, I guess I must oblige to Mistress Tashira's wishes." Magical Ninja Meido Erika said. "Hey wait a minute? Where did the Mistress Tashira come from? I have got to get out of this form and back to my civilian form." Magical Ninja Meido Erika says as she tries to figure out a way to return to at least her former Maid form and remove the headband so she can go back to her civilian form.
