The Cauldron of Black: Eyes on the Prize

The Enemy Camp
After an hour of careful consideration, the two teams went their separate ways to pursue their objectives. Each were selected due to past experience and cohesive teamwork that'd work in the field they were heading. Sakura had agreed to return back to Hell while the Lieutenant joined the other Shinigami in preparation for the eventual assault on the enemy. Tension mounted for everyone back at HQ, armanents being checked and small quiet moments were shared by all.

Hana had no such luxury.

There she and her team were, dropping from a small Senkaimon a kilometer away from the located castle in the Material World's England countryside. Everything around it felt unearthly, like it was a battlefield from ages past that forgot to renew itself with time. Instead, what was left had turned into a horrible dark scar in the rolling hills and the valley the enemy's headquarters were located. Dim camping fires dotted the encampment surrounding the dark fortress.

Approaching it under the cover of DCO Overcoats, masking their Reiatsu, they further hid themselves with Kyokko to impede visibility by their enemies. She wasn't alone; along with her was the Knight Commander, her Paladin Primus Aesa and her own subordinate Percival, followed by Angelika. Each of them wore the cloaks atop their own armored to leathern frames, they skulked in the cover of clouded twilight, furthering their ability to encroach towards the opposition.

Raising her hand up, she signaled the other four to halt in their tracks.

"We're about half a kilometer away. Getting any closer at the moment will be pushing it," Hana murmured through her telepathic link via Kidō. Looking over at Angelika's general direction, she nodded to her to gain a good glimpse with her own special binocs, "tell me what you see, Angelika-san."
