[The sounds of screaming and commotion in the forest are loud enough to send Chie racing to the site to investigate. Once there, in full view of the unfolding carnage, she grabs her communicator from her pocket and sends an emergency transmission to alert the village:]A-attention, everyone! There is something attacking the forest, west of the

[The transmission is alarming enough, but what really catches Aureln's attention is the tail-end of a screech she hears, and she knows that voice.

Her response is rushed, the sound of ringing metal and footsteps on stone and then on dirt. Her voice comes out in something almost like a snarl.]

Do not attack that thing on your own, girl!

[audio]

[heavyheels]

I - I have to do something! It's tearing the forest apart ...

[And what if it starts moving on to the village?]

[audio]

[bloodforlight]

If you have to do something, try not to get yourself killed! We need more people!

[audio]

[heavyheels]

I know, I just -

[I can't stand here and do nothing. Again]

I'll be careful, I promise. Please hurry.

[ voice ]

[endofdaydream]

I'll be there in a moment.

[ Ange's voice is rather thin, hurried, her regular calm breaking just slightly. All of this is practically all she needs to hear to almost be running already - besides, the sounds are fairly obvious. ]

I will bring backup too. [ Stake friends totally count. ]

[ voice ]

[heavyheels]

Ange-san ...

[Murder by Adachi aside, Chie knows at least some of what Ange is capable in a fight. And from the looks of the size of this thing, they're going to need help from everyone able.]

Please hurry.

[ voice ]

[endofdaydream]

Don't worry, I won't take long. [ She still seems a little bit tense - she's even frowning slightly - but still nods even if it doesn't show up.

There's a single shout to someone off-screen. ]

Leviathan-- [ ... and she stops the feed, going off to battle. ]

[protectsfools]

I'll help as much as I can, but please stay safe, Chie-san.

[heavyheels]

Thanks, Aigis-san. You too.

[needling]

Chie-senpai, I'm heading over now.

[ Shit, this doesn't sound good. ]

[audio]

[heavyheels]

Kanji-kun ...

[There's something almost like relief in the way she says his name. Chie knows she can always count on Kanji to be an asset in a fight.]

Please hurry. This thing ... it's too much! [Too much for her to handle on her own, that is.]

[audio]

[needling]

--Shit! I'm headin' over as fast as I can.

[ And he is! He's comin' for you, senpai! ]

[audio]

[heavyheels]

Be careful, Kanji-kun.
