Responding to Resoria

[Eva-Beatrice]

After successfully landing in Rokkenjima territory, the newly arrived starships were boarded by the Rokkenjima Armed Forces. Up until this point, the Goat Butlers were the only ones aboard the vessels. During their voyage, they had received several incoming communications signals, but were unable to respond to them as they're incapable of speaking human languages. Commander Satan, upon boarding one of the vessels, finally responded to the calls. "These ships are the property of Rokkenjima. They mean no harm. I repeat. These ships are the property of Rokkenjima. We apologize for the miscommunication, but those aboard at the time were incapable of human speech. The Rokkenjima Armed Forces will be sure to mark these vessels with our flag by the next time they take orbit."

As several alarms sounded, Maou looked up, seeing the missiles approaching quickly. "Oh, boy... Well, guess now is as good a time as any. Get the Ether Rings in position now!" On his command, the five Ether Rings stationed in Japan assembled in one spot. They propelled themselves upward toward the missiles as Maou accompanied them. "Now, expand!" On his cue, one of the Ether Rings expanded, covering a large area. It appeared as a large tube floating in the sky. The first set of missiles finally arrived after a few moments, passing through the ring. As they did, it activated, releasing huge amounts of Ether within the tube. It was at that moment when the ability of Ether had been revealed - anti-gravity. The missiles within the tube did indeed slow down, but the speed and gravitational force acting upon the released Ether was so great that the entire ring began to descend rapidly. Seconds later, the set of missiles exploded all at once, still a couple hundred miles in the air. Sensing the detonation, the tube shut, triggering its final line of defense. The Ether Ring had disintegrated, along with everything trapped inside. The process repeat itself with the last two sets of missiles. Like before, a second and third Ether Ring were destroyed, leaving two remaining by the time all the missiles were finally gone. Maou let out a huge sigh as he descended back down. After catching his breath for a bit, he contacted the Witch Council. "Yeah, those Ether Rings could use some work..."
