[ It's in the aftermath of the eclipse that it feels as if they can all finally take a breather, at least at first. The Araneans seem calmer than they ever are, behaving as if they're resting after taking in a large meal. A quiet settles over the land around them, and while all of the COST agents have to wear protective gear out here in the wilderness, for a time it feels safer than it ever did within the city walls.
But then, someone has to take advantage, and the attack on the royal family begins. Genji and the other agents can only observe from afar, as only the highest ranked Araneans are allowed in the center of the valley. Still, they have a good viewpoint of the chaos that unfolds, and it's as Genji's watching the Twin Generals work to quell the oncoming mob that suddenly, everything shifts.
Instead of being surrounded by a red, almost desolate sort of landscape, Genji sees nothing but the vibrant green of trees. It's beautiful, but there's no explanation for how he got here, and as he looks around him he sees that he's not alone. Ryuji, Thor, and Mamoru are all here as well. Is it a coincidence that these are all COST agents he's spent some amount of time with during this mission? ]
... Where are we?
[ It's as he asks the question that he hears the sound of steel striking and the yells of Araneans engaged in battle. This is something they can never truly get away from, it seems. ]

The advantage of their size difference - human and Aranean - is that once the tip of the spears, the end of their legs, the reach of their arms and mandibles, is crossed, there's not much that these Araneans can do. Mamoru uses that to his advantage, and it's a good thing that as a human, the spiders still instinctively overlook him at first, so when they do find him a target, their killing intent is easier to pinpoint.
The dust settles around him but the battle doesn't. It's a little too late for half a dozen of them, curled on the floor and toppling with cut legs. The sword is losing its edge, though, so Mamoru quickly sheathes it, after running over an injured Aranean and jumping into another, on another's chest.
The Generals bring down a couple of others, one of them almost conveniently dropping a spear at his feet. He gives one of the twins a nod, smirking, knowing that it hadn't been their intention. The twin clicks her mandibles in dismissal, but too busy to even correct the idea.
No matter, anyway. Mamoru picks up the spear. It's not very different from a naginata, anyway. A glance at Thor, and a quick assessment of the rest of the forces. They seem confused by his power and the elements that respond to him. Part of the group scattered to another end - probably after Genji and Ryuji.]
