Look, up in the sky!

It's a bird!

It's a plane!

It's... wait, it is a plane. A sleek fighter jet, in red with gold trim, skimming the treetops at the gardens. Those of you with astral or magical sight can see a thin silver cord unspooling from the back, connecting back to Creche Alpha.

On the nose of the thing, is what appears to be a small camera on a turret. It swivels towards one of the roses and -

The plane morphs, into a chicken-legged form, hovering above one of the vampire roses, trying to melt it with the backwash of it's engines. When that doesn't work, she draws what appeared to be an underslung cannon but is, in fact, a katana with an elaborate manji hiltguard, and slashes it in half.

Then the lens on the 'camera' glows, and the wounded, screeching monster catches on fire.

W-well, I've always wanted to pilot a giant robot before.

Anyway, um... damage readouts seem fine. Using a giant robot against man-sized plants is kind of an unfair advantage, so uh... you'll only take damage if you charge too recklessly.

Of course it's an unfair advantage. Why do you think I'm using it? Last thing you want in combat is a fair fight - or, well, cheating in the enemy's favor.

This is much different than the anime, but if you think you can handle it, the only way to disabuse you of that notion is to let you try.

I didn't say you shouldn't use it. I'm fine with burning badguy plant thingies like this.

Sorry. Old lesson I needed to drill into some Pilot's heads. Talked about how we were overkilling and, well. Best kind of kill.

With giant explosions and stuff?

Of blood and gore. Our enemies were monsters that could take on tanks.

Ew...

... well, at least those aren't around here, right?

Knock on wood. Okay, we have more to do - I'm listening in on the vine, seeing if there are more bandits or if I need to do any rescues.

Alright. Let's roast some more flowers!
