Clad in heavy armor and wielding a heavy maul, dropping like a meteor from the modest distance in the air that her powers had thrown her to, Makoto was not a force to stop easily. However the forces of the arcane were not bound by simple mortal concepts like weight and mass, and so as the two forces collided a great thunderclap of energy erupted around the four gathered survivors. As the dense shield of water thrust back against the metallic meteor of a young woman, the concussive force of the thunderclap sent the shower not back, but all around them. The shockwave significant enough to shove the branches of trees even as they were soaked in the life-giving rain flung away from the road.<br/><br/>However, with all the energy of the blow soaked by the shield, there was little else but gravity itself to carry the armored knight forward and down, and with the mage stepping forward to summon the shield, there was only one unfortunate outcome fate had in mind. While certainly not the force that could have been, Makoto quickly dropped forward and without the original trajectory she had thought, quickly lost her balance and all control of her armored body for the sake of landing. Her heavy hammer pulling her body forward even more such that she toppled head and shoulder first into the mage before the pair suddenly shot back and past Serenity and Rei like a fired crossbow bolt, skidding and tumbling intertwined with one another some ten feet down the dirt road before coming to a stop in a heap, their limbs intertwined in a rather comedic fashion if the situation hadn't been born of violence.<br/><br/>Five feet between the two groups sat the Solarius Kingdom Maul the knight had attempted to strike them with, and though not her only weapon, and though not the weapon of the Solarius royal guard, it had obviously been the knight's preferred weapon at least. From the pile a groan came from the knight as she appeared trying to gain her bearings once more, slowly planting her hand against the dirty and trying to push up to entangle herself. A slow realization came to the knight as she opened her eyes, finding her face flush against the young mage's own, their lips gentle touching each other. For a split second her mind stopped, wondering what in the world she was doing, why she was doing that, before quickly resuming her struggle to untangle herself, as if the incident had never happened.<strong>"Get... off of me... bandit!"</strong>she growled, unable to reach any of her other weapons for the moment until she had untangled herself...
