"Tank on the move, get into positions. Thundering Blade that's your cue," the first lieutenant signalled.
Jotou had already walked to the front, step by step. The blonde gazed down to her boots as she did. 'Huh. I still walk weirdly; with the balls of my feet, toes first. Odd.'
"Pssst, Jotou. Are you sure you don't need to be invisible?" Asobi's voice spoke, but no elf could be seen.
"I'm sure. You guys know the plan, I'm drawing the fire away from all of you so that the Hartamat soldiers can follow after me. I just have to take down the tank," Jotou searched for it through the sand.
"Aegis-aura," a dulcet breathy voice casted.
Jotou smiled as a bluish aura surrounded her, "Keep your distance and keep your eyes out. Fumeko?"
"Right here."
Jotou peered to her right, only a voice, "Very funny detective, I can't see you."
"You can still hear me."
"Once that tank is down," Jotou paused.
