The Element necklace still feels weird, Kanji thinks. Big, heavy: he's used to light little pendants, not something like this! Still: he'd been granted it, for all he doesn't feel worthy of it. He's headed out here to check the scene out while Naoto's doing research in the library: and honestly, he thinks she had the better idea. But he's here now, and he's not going to run - not that he could.

His heart skips a beat. That's - he barely registers that that's probably the biggest Nightmare he's seen, before she's letting off that magic blast and he's watching Celestia retaliate. Or, just as much, hearing it.

Damn. And people call him loud, he thinks.

"Right behind ya, lady!" he calls out, with a stamp, and goes charging forward as hard and fast as he can manage.
