Her eyes are closed as she manifests...then slowly, they open in wonder.  And widen, in utter bewilderment.

"Wh- What?!  WHAT?!"  Her yell could probably be heard across half the island - and then Kagutsuchi screeches, head arching toward the heavens.  Somewhere, in those golden skies, Artemis stands vigilant - and the transformed dragon's very being sings with the drive to strike back.

"H-hang on!  Kagutsuchi!"  Mai looks around wildly, before spying those standing below - and whatever relief she might feel to see some of those faces, it's tempered buy complete and utter panic.  "Everyone!  There's no time to explain-"

Kagutsuchi screeches, and Mai puts a hand on the sword's hilt.  "...but I think Kagutsuchi is going to try to attack Artemis!  If - if you're ready to come-"

Another screech - neck stretched out for passengers only grudgingly.  "- then hurry!"

There's little time for discussion - less than a minute after Mai's plea, the dragon-phoenix-spaceship turns its head to the heavens.  Cylinders marked with magatama symbols emerge from its back, spinning wildly as power builds at its rear - and with a roar mighter than anything short of Artemis's destruction, sheer force launches the Child - and its passengers - up into the skies.

Up high enough to face off against a satellite.
