[ Hibiki deflects the Nightmare's talons with her fists, but while she's able to match the Nightmare, she has the disadvantage of having a limited amount of time she can spend in the air with her wings... and is this thing something she can take down by herself in five minutes? She isn't sure...

But fortunately, her fellow Dreamer has her own way of getting up here and providing support. ]

Jeannette-chan...!!

[ Hibiki quickly delivers a spinning kick to the Nightmare, knocking it's balance off a little more and leaving it open to the projectile known as Dreamer La Pucelle, not to mention the shots being fired by LLENN from the ground.

Of course, after La Pucelle collides with the Nightmare, it's up to Hibiki to swoop in and catch her as gravity starts to take hold of her once again and soar further up with Jeannette in her arms. ]

[ It was NOT crazy! Not when La Pucelle knew she could rely on her companions, and when she needed to be of service to them as well.

Wind whipping around in her hair (Dreamer Gungnir may be holding her princess-carry-style), she points her sword down at the Nightmare. ]

We must ground it to defeat it. Aim for the wings!

[The problem with being the sane one is that LLENN does all her best work when she goes crazy and stops worrying so much. Overthinking things and not doing them by instinct always makes her fight worse. So maybe it was time she did something at least mildly reckless.

Still standing atop her perch, she stops firing her pink gun and takes it in one gloved hand. She stretches the other one out, where an equally pink metallic orb appears in.]

Hey! Explosives incoming! I'll knock that thing down, get ready to break its legs when it hits the ground!

[And with that, she hurls the grenade skyward. With nowhere near the level of strength it requires to make it high enough to hit the Nightmare. But this is where her own reckless stunt comes in. With a sudden flicker of her super speed, she does a precise back flip off her perch, one foot connecting with the explosive pink device and hurtling it skyward with much more speed then her throwing arm could have managed. Its the sort of trick that was only possible because it was a dream and she wanted to look cool. It was on course to intercept the eagle as well, provided it didn't make any sudden changes in its flight patterns.]

Four....three....two.....one....

[The countdown is more for Hbiki's sake then her own. Not long after the one, the sky flashes pink as her attack detonates, hopefully hitting ONLY her target!]

Ah…!

[ With Gungnir flying with La Pucelle held in a princess carry, she sees LLENN’s grenade soar high into the sky… and in seeing the path it’s taking, flaps her angelic wings and soars further into the dreaming heavens, higher than the Nightmare…

The grenade hits it’s target, a pink explosion erupts, the massive bird lets out a nightmarish caw as it’s flight falters… ]

NOW!! TOGETHER!!

[ Hibiki releases… or rather, throws La Pucelle down towards the Nightmare before shooting downward herself. Two Dreamers, soaring rapidly downward, right at the Nightmarish falcon…! ]

THROB HARD!! (G-beat!) Take a swing at the meter!! (G-beat!) with a bang!!
With both my hands, with my song, I will protect you!!
BREAK THROUGH!!! (G-beat!) Set these beliefs ablaze! (G-beat!) VIOLENTLY!!!
Stuff like "limits"—I don't need them, don't know them!!
I swear!! NEVER WILL I SEPARATE OUR HAAAAAAAAAANDS!!!

[ Gungnir becomes a falling spear, reaching terminal velocity in an instant… a shooting star, colliding with her target and bringing it crashing to the ground… and alongside La Pucelle as well. ]

[ Down goes the beast! Down goes Gungnir! Down goes La Pucelle!

Who wraps her sword in holy light so that a specter of the Lance of Longinus impales the eagle at the same time as, well, uh.....the Lance of.....[Symphogear spoilers here]. Anyway, double stabby, big shooty.

When the dust begins to clear, La Pucelle lights her sword up again, but this time to indicate her position. ]

Is it defeated?

[ If it's not, she's probably just drawn its attention, but she's all right with that. If her comrades can see her, and it's after her, then they also know where it is.

Self-preservation is for other people. ]

[LLENN is smart enough to not be at the impact point as the three-pronged attack brings their enemy out of sky. She isn't armored like La Pucelle, nor did she defy reality like Gungnir, so getting squished would be very bad for her tiny little frame. But her eyes are trained on it the entire time as the Nightmare falls, and she's moving the moment its safe to do so. In a flash, she's zipped over and is standing over it, weapon pointed down at.]

Its still there, so probably not. But I'm not giving it a chance to get back into the air, watching you two up there stressed me out way too much! And now....

[She looks at the Nightmare with one of those stern looks that seems out of place on such an adorable face.]

...I've got something to take all that stress out on!

[Hopefully the sound of her submachine gun going off at such close range won't hurt anyone's ears, because she's firing like crazy. Despite calling for broken legs, she's specifically targeting one of the wings. It may be a dream, but even in dreams, birds don't fly with wings shredded by bullets, right?]

[ Honestly at this point it feels almost mean, like they're kicking it while it's down, but... ]

Ah, well, it's not moving...

[ That was a pretty devastating blow, after all. A combined attack from both La Pucelle and Gungnir, followed up with hitting the ground that hard... it's hard to tell with all the dust that's still clearing, but... ]

I think we got it—ah!

[ Just then, there's a twitch and— ]

HAH!!

[ If Hibiki was feeling bad for it earlier, it really doesn't show as Hibiki proceeds to immediately deliver one last punch at the first sign that it wasn't finished... and fortunately, that seems to be the finishing blow, as the massive bird starts to disappear.

...Brutal. ]

[ La Pucelle is not put off by her companions' violence. Instead, as the giant bird flickers to wisps, and then to nothing -

She lowers the shield she needed to raise at the last second to deal with all of those bullets (and, frankly, the noise), then grins. Her ears are ringing, but surely, that is the heavenly host celebrating their victory. ]

The day is ours! Most well done. Now, perhaps the people of Yumemigaoka can sleep more soundly.....

[ Yes. Anything is worth it if she can protect her home. And with comrades like these, she shall never fail! ]
