Kate definitely feels it, crossing her arms around her stomach and looking at their surroundings. She glances at him curiously.

"Where are we?"

oops definitely switched writing styles in that last tag

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

"We are in what we -" That was a bad habit of his. There were no other espers here, no Organization. "- what I call Closed Space. It is the space across a dimensional fault, where a divine being lets out her frustration without endangering the real world."

Explaining these things was becoming disturbingly easy and commonplace over the past few days.

"Soon, we should see the blue giants - Celestials - this being uses to vent her frustration. If left unchecked, the destruction they wreak here would make this pocket dimension expand, eventually covering the whole world, and then replacing it.

I have been granted the ability to enter this space - and to battle the beings within - thus destroying the space, and preventing the eventual destruction of the world."

He explains all this very matter-of-factly, as if things like this were not unusual. And for him, they weren't.

Gradually, a light blue glow appears in the distance behind him.

that's fine, it seemed like an appropriate transition place anyway lol

Kate stiffens when she sees the blue light start to glow. Even if all of this is completely foreign to her, she's still following what Koizumi's saying. She's read enough comic books and seen enough sci-fi shows to have some context, even if she's still getting used to the fact that it's real on New Moore and not fiction.

"So that's where the bruises come from?" she says, gesturing to his face. "You coming in here and fighting these things?"

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

He gives a slight nod of acknowledgement.

"Indeed. In my world, there would have been dozens of espers to combat closed space. Here, I am alone, so when said being gets particularly frustrated, it can be... difficult."

He turns to face the glow casually as two blue giants slowly rise about a mile or so in front of them. Gradually one swings one of its massive arms in an arc with unimaginable force, wreaking destruction over everything within about a six block radius from it.

[themuse]

Kate's eyes widen as she watches the destruction. She really hopes Koizumi is going to keep by his word of making sure nothing happens to her.

"You have to fight them by yourself?" She shakes her head. "I don't get it. I thought the point of this island is everything we had back home was fiction. How did this follow you here?"

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

For some reason, he's tempted to tell her of Haruhi - but he restrains himself. The more people that know - no matter how trustworthy - the more dangerous it is, for both Haruhi and for the world.

He shrugs casually.

"Who can tell? Does this place ever make any kind of sense? Perhaps this divine being transcends realities, or fictions. It would not surprise me to find that 'God' is not as bound by the boarders of our universe as the rest of us.

Perhaps there is another divine being here whose subconscious coping mechanism behaves the same way. Or perhaps it is only the closed space that followed us. The Dark Hour that we encounter here comes from another world as well, and from what I have gathered, it seems to be here despite the absence of the cause it had back in its original world.

If you will excuse me for a moment, however, I must deal with these." He indicates the giants with a wave, before backing up a couple paces and closing his eyes. Moments later, he is enshrouded in a sudden burst of scarlet energy, which surrounds him in a glowing sphere as green lightning crackles around its edges. He slowly lifts off the ground, then rockets forward toward the giants, reaching them in a matter of seconds. At this point, he is only visible as an indistinct crimson blur.

He floats and dodges around both giants very quickly, darting in to slice across the chest of one, then flying into the face of the second one, which seems to serve to distract it, but not actually harm it much. His next swerves back to the first one, encircling its right wrist and managing to sever it, upon which point it begins to bleed some sort of homogenous blue material that appears to compose its entire being.

Kate takes a step back as she watches, amazed and also concerned. She knows there isn't anything she can do to assist him, which frustrates her. One of the things she hates the most about the island is how helpless she feels most of time, because so much of what happens is out of her control. She might feel like she rules the roost at precinct most days, but other than that, she feels entirely out of her element.

Out of the corner of her eye, she searches the area for any available cover in case things go south with Koizumi's battle strategy, and hoping that she's right in thinking he seems to be keeping the upper hand.

The blur flits back and forth some more, darting in but often moving back to avoid being hit before it can do any real damage. Koizumi is finally able to score a critical hit, severing the head and upper torso of the uninjured one - but at that moment, the other Celestial swings down in a giant arc, aided by the force of gravity on its enormous bulk, arm blurring slightly with the speed of the attack. Koizumi is hit from behind, his red form growing slightly dimmer as he crashes into the ground with an incredible, jarring impact - blowing up a surprising amount of dust and debris, like one might expect from a cartoon or anime.

Behind him, the first giant dissolves in a sudden spray of blue as it collapses in on itself.
