Hopper1, Houtaro, etc. | Kamen Rider Gotchard

While some Chemies recognized the danger of broad, sweeping displays of alchemy, others...

Were inspired.

Clotho wasn't quite sure what her sister had been roped into this time - Lachesis' banter with 'the mutt' was pretty easy to read, her exchanges with Professor Kyoka less so - but she seemed uncharacteristically excited, fiddling with a weirdly-glowing, hovering ball.

(Wearing safety protection, of course. Which meant Clotho had to, too. Still, it was better than leaving her youngest sister unsupervised.)

The only thing more excited in the room was the probably-vibrating crab Chemy on a nearby table, safely out of range of the actual project. Whatever it was.

At her own feet, the skateboard Chemy - no, Skebows - was likewise interested, if calmer than its usual manner. It was like the boy Ichinose, in some ways, but less talkative.

(She appreciated that. No matter how Lachesis teased. Rinne and Houtaro awkwardly dancing around each other was more than enough entertainment, thank you. Clotho wanted no part in it.)

At a gesture from the Professor, Lachesis let go of the globe. "Running final diagnostic," the former said, and after some frightening-looking electric patterns crossed the globe, both women fist-pumped the air.

(Clotho wondered if they actually practiced that kind of unity. Probably not.)

Keeping an eye on Mechanichani, Clotho spoke up. "So, why did you go to all this effort? If it's not offensive Alchemy, what is it?"

Such wouldn't have been the only way such a device would prove interesting, it was just the easiest way for her to understand it as interesting.

"It's for cleaning up the forest, and taking out all that litter. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's going to look awesome, just you wait!"

Lachesis flashed her sister a smile, and while Clotho wouldn't admit her interest was piqued, she wasn't going to ignore her words either.

Not after last time.

They were all going to wait under a cloaking shield; despite the alchemy at hand being almost designed to be noticed, they didn't want to be caught and accosted about motives or anything.

Mechanichani, of course, wanted a good view, and Golddash was all too happy to oblige. Despite a few looks, no one told either Chemy to go back into their cards, which was all to the good.

This was meant to be a special day. A sign that alchemy was for more than just maintaining the status quo, or inflicting harm.

Both Chemies looked up, concentrating on ideals of friendship and support. Leave this place in a better state than it's been. Extract that which was carelessly left behind.

At the center of the group, Professor Kyoka and Lachesis each had one hand against the (now white) globe... and were holding the others' remaining hand.

At the end of the countdown, the globe crackled with energy and floated upward, out of the shield. Immediately, small pieces of garbage - plastic, mainly - began launching itself out of the forest. The nature of the globe caused them to fuse with each other in a steadily-growing outer shell.

When there was no more trash flowing out from the trees, they'd deactivate the alchemy and transmute it all to electrical energy, supplementing power requirements across the city - no burning required.

Mechanichani was as happy as could be.
