As the vampire approached the monstrosity and attempted to find a peaceful solution to the dilemma that had befallen the Mitsuri Arboretum, Kaija simply sheathed her hammer on her back and awaited the results of his proposition. She came here to clear the place of zombies; it didn't really matter how the job was done or who did it. The Plaguefather gave an expected reply.
"I am afraid that I cannot return to where I came from before here. I can only be summoned from place to place by disease and decay, especially by that caused by my imps."
So... the only way that we'd be able to get him to leave would be to spread a plague in someone else's backyard so that he could terrorize them and ruin their day instead of ours.
.......
"Okay."
Kaija reached back to draw the chainsaw waiting on her back for just this kind of situation but remembered one of the stranger's words.
"No, you idiot, that's a biohazard! Spilling guts and fluids is only going to make it spread more!"
"Hmm..."
She changed her mind and instead chose to draw what looked to be the hilt of a giant knife from her side.
The Goliath Arm: Dagger.
The weapon recognized her touch and the firmness of her grip and activated. From the cavity in which a blade should've been nestled, a red mass of searing plasma erupted outwards; shaped into a blade by magnetic fields produced by the device. Bolts of electricity arched down the weapon's 'blade', a light wind began to spiral around it and a mirage of heat could be seen surrounding the blade like an aura. The size of the mass of plasma itself was several times that of everyone there aside from The Plaguefather himself and the weapon's wielder. Despite having drawn a weapon that she felt would best cater to the enemy standing before her at that moment, Kaija didn't seem to be in much of a rush to attack.
"Kaede was a great hero, Lizzy. She had so much goodwill for everyone; true altruism. But she fostered harmful shadows within her body that ate away at her health every day. Even when they were killing her, she never once fought back to save herself; even when she had the power to do so. She just let herself die for no good reason," Kaija voiced her unpopular opinion as she stared down The Plaguefather, "Even if it's what she might've wanted, I'd prefer that we not repeat her mistakes today. I'd at least like to try and protect what's mine in times like these."
Kaija did not run nor sprint but walked towards the invader. If he chose to simply leave at that point, she had no desire to pursue. She felt no rage towards him; no desire to fight or see him dead. But, he had made it clear that he wasn't just going to leave and even the vampire had said it himself. The Plaguefather just wasn't fit for this place. It was sad, but it was also not Kaija's problem. If stood his ground by the time Kaija reached him, she would simply swipe at him with her plasma weapon; a blow that would slash diagonally across his chest.
On contact, the blade would atomize molecules that met its plasma directly. Bolts of electricity would surge through the creature's body, looking to damage both himself and whatever vermin might've still been crawling around inside of him. Heat would flare throughout the Plaguefather's body that would work to sublimate local matter near the plasma blade and vaporize liquids throughout his body. Radiation would flood out from the point of contact and look to damage the monster as well. It was a weapon that held the potential to ravage the beast without even breaking its skin and cauterize any wounds that it might've produced automatically.
Would it work on the Plaguefather? Who knows? Kaija thought it was a better idea to try it out on him than to continue trying to reason with a creature that had already made up its mind to stay and had already let loose hazardous creatures on the Arboretum
