NotIgor
Annihilation: Toward a Better Tomorrow
*the brawny man leaves the hospital with his sword and a duffel bag in tow*
Today is the day... Today the end begins and the beginning ends. Far too long have I sat idle, today I change the future!
Mona
*Mona appears in a gust of wind*
Yes, today we show them we're a force that cannot be reckoned with. Today, we bring about the inevitable destruction of a corrupt world
Yu-Narukami
*Yu is already waiting outside with a eager look on their face.*

Do you think we can really do it? People seem pretty distrusting of the idea...

*Yu looks down with a glance of hesitation.*
Kazuya
The day is upon us, I see.

[Kazuya presses a button and his COMP is ready to go. After this, he stretches and smiles, although with some sadness.]

Let's do our best...and for my wallet.
NotIgor
*he looks at Yu, confidence blazing in his eyes.*
If I thought we could not do it, I would not be standing here. Today we begin the long journey to the core. Think of it as nothing more than an obstacle course.
Makoto
*Makoto walks out of the hospital holding her once broken arm and then doing a stretch*

So, we are doing this...Lets hope for the best. And hopefully we not have many problems along the way...Lets do this everyone!

*Makoto seems determined*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks back up with a new found determination.*

Right, no matter what we will save everyone...

No matter the cost, we have to win...

For everyone's sake.
DetectiveHonoka
*Entering through a rift, Honoka appears with his hands in his pockets. He has notably changed his typical sports jacket for a long coat.*

I hope you know what you're doing boss man. We've got a lot on the line here.
NotIgor
*he nods towards Honoka*
I'll be opening a rift at the entrance to the core. Take note that once we enter the path to the core that your Rift devices will no longer work. Retreat only becomes an option for those capable of running. Are you all ready...?
Mona
*Mona nods*
We'll do this. There's no way we can lose!
Makoto
*Makoto nods*

We can do this, lets reach the core!
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks forward.*

It's now or never, right?
Kazuya
*Kazuya nods with confidence.*

It'll be fine, so...let's make this showy.
Aincrad_Hazel
Aincrad stumbles upon the group and stays back a bit, out of sight. "What the hell..." He whispers.
DetectiveHonoka
*He rolls his shoulders, and smirks.*

Alright, I'm ready when you are.
NotIgor
*he opens a rift to a dark and seemingly medieval place*
Follow me, be watchful.
Kazuya
I got it, who even knows what is awaiting for us there.

*Kazuya takes a deep breath and steps through the rift.*
Mona
*Mona performs some acrobatics and jumps on Yu's shoulders*
Let's go, edgy guy.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks somehwat suprised as he enter the rift.*

Wait, edgy?

I think you're confusing me for Tatsuya or Gamma...
Makoto
*Makoto looks around before stepping through the rift*

Lets get to it.
DetectiveHonoka
*Honoka walks through the rift, humming to himself as he does.*
Mona
Nah, just look at that jacket. It just screams edge. And i'm almost certain you're not wearing it because you're cold
Aincrad_Hazel
Aincrad follows behind and enters right before the rift closes. "Here goes nothing." He whispers again. When he gets through he immediately gets out of the way and hides again.
NotIgor
*he stands back from a wall beside a castle*
This... is... it!
*he plunges his sword into the wall, opening a rift to a dark and nebulous void.*
Be on your guard.
Aitome_Korichi
*Aitome follows in behind the group, seeing the rift he grips his own weapon, carrying a large case behind him, the case shines a soft blue light as shouts out

So! This is where you guys are?
Yu-Narukami
*Yu readies his sword and cautiously begins walking through the rift.*

Yu-Narukami
*Yu turns around when Aitome shouts.*

Still following us? What are you doing here exactly?
Makoto
*Makoto's thief clothes appear as she stays on guard through the rift, seeming ready for anything*
Aincrad_Hazel
Aincrad mumbles but stays hidden. "Heppy get ready for a rescue." He whispers.
Mona
*Mona begins to growl heavily at Aitome*
NotIgor
*just as he puts one foot into the rift, he hears Aitome, and pulls it out*
I suppose a confrontation was inevitable.
*he pulls out a metal disk and surveys it*
Hmm....
Aitome_Korichi
Hehehe, calm yourself Silver Hair, I've come for a different reason than you might think.

*Aitome then opens the case, revealing hundreds of blue crystals

Heard you needed some Nexite! Im here for a trade.
Kazuya
Hey, it's that guy.

*He says before even taking a step towards the rift. He then looks at his COMP and back at Aitome.*

As long as there isn't a fight right now...
NotIgor
*he begins circling around Aitome*
A deal you say? Care to explain it to us?
Yu-Narukami
*Yu observes the case.*

I don't really believe that after how heated I've seen you get.

Why would you have a change of heart now?

DetectiveHonoka
*Honoka smiles at Aitome*

Aw, you brought us a gift? How sweet. What's the catch?
Aitome_Korichi
Im not here to fight Digimon Summoner, stand down.

You're against violence right? I willing to give this up, in exchange for a trip to the core. You can do that can't you? I simply want proof you can destroy it.

*Aitome then turns to Silver Hair

You know I am neutral, right? I have no reason to stick with Black Mask if you can convince me that you have the means to save me. And all it will take is a trip to the core.
Kazuya
*Kazuya covers his face with embarrassment at Aitome's comment.*

"Devil Summoner" not "Digimon Summoner"...!
Aitome_Korichi
Don't you know? Im bad with names! See! We've already got chemistry.
NotIgor
I don't think you know chemistry that well..
*he stops circling and stands with his back to the rift.*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu notices a lack of pulsing in his pocket.*

Wait...doesn't that mean...
Aitome_Korichi
Well? Do we have a deal?
NotIgor
*he hears Yu and nods*
I see you haven't forgotten.
DetectiveHonoka
*Honoka's smile never fades, and he turns to his buff boss*

Well, whaddaya say boss man?
NotIgor
*he smirks when confronted with the choice*
I think it's painfully obvious...
Aitome_Korichi
Hm? Whats wrong? Do you not believe me?

*Aitome then pulls out a crystal out of his suit,

It's real Ya know, besides what would I gain from lying? The core means nothing to the other side, it's just stopping you they are concerned about.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu sighs and puts his hand to his face.*


Kazuya
*Kazuya plays with his hair and turns aroun.*
Mona
OOC: Guys, Aitome actually received some Nexite earlier in the series.
NotIgor
*he finishes chuckling*
I see you haven't finished reading the journal. Inside I wrote of Nexite's magnetic properties... When I circled you I detected that the most powerful source of Nexite was behind you. Either this means there is an insane amount of nexite behind you...or your crateful isn't a reliable source.
NotIgor
(I am aware. He simply didn't obtain enough)
Yu-Narukami
OOC: The reaction still wouldn't be strong enough. A whole create would cause a huge reaction while a small amount would barely be a pull.
Yu-Narukami
OOC: *Crate
Aitome_Korichi
Hehehe, looks like you weren't fooled, damn, worth a shot, well see ya around!

*Aitome then takes the case and throws it at the group, exploding in the air creating a flash of blue light, blinding the group as he falls back into the shadows
NotIgor
*as the crate is thrown he attempts to cover his eyes before realizing he has glasses on*
Erm... I suppose if that was our opposition our plan will be over sooner than intended...
Makoto
*Makoto rubs her eyes*

Well...that was something.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu is blinded for second before recovering his sight.*

To try to pull a trick like that though, how far have they fallen for their selfish ideals.
Aincrad_Hazel
Sighing Aincrad circles around in the shadows getting as close as he can to the rift without being noticed.
NotIgor
*he turns toward the Rift before sighing*
Anyone else care to interrupt us? I'd prefer to do it out here!
DetectiveHonoka
*Honoka claps sarcastically*

Good effort though, it was a pretty decent idea. Unfortunately, someone of your caliber couldn't have hoped to fool us. It's only natural tho-

*He's cut off by the flash of light, thankfully he's wearing sunglasses. How convenient.*

Welp. That happened.
Kazuya
*Kazuya is not blinded, due to him not facing Aitome. He turns around and stands on his place as he sees Aitome for a second before disappearing.*

He's at least brave enough...!
But they have reasons to not trust us, I can't really blame them...
Migrant
*Ahem!*
*Someone cleared a throat.*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu's expression tenses as he turns around and notices Migrant.*

Migrant...

So you are alive.

Maybe you should leave, not all of us are so dedicated to preserving life.

*Yu subtly gestures towards Honoka.*
Mona
*Mona doesn't hear the throat clearing*
So, can we go now? I'm getting kind of antsy
NotIgor
*he steps back*
Of course. You again... I thought that whole kerfuffel with your leg put you out of commission.
Migrant
Alive, I suppose.

*she wheeled forward, leg still bandaged and still, Mig herself in a wheelchair*

And it's nice of you to say that, but I /am/ here to preserve life. Everyone's.
Kazuya
Oh man, here we go...

[Kazuya takes a few steps back, sighing with a smile.]
Shaigis_Unit02
*walks beside Mig, glancing around for threats*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu stares at the chair with a bit of regret in his eyes.*

What do you think we're trying to do exactly?

This isn't just some game to us, we want to save everyone, too.
Migrant
I know.

Your opposition has no plan, no grand scheme to stop you, just kill you.

And I know first hand that is going to end in failure for them. So in lieu of that, I'd rather go along with you and see for myself just how true this whole mess is.
DetectiveHonoka
*Honoka seems to tone Yu out*

Ouch, that leg isn't doing too well is it? Hm, maybe you should run on home, and ask mommy to kiss it and make it better? That'd probably be better for all of us.
Teddie-Anon
OOC: uh am i able to join in or am i too late
Aitome_Korichi
*Aitome grips his weapon and pulls out his actual Nexite crystal, holding it close to his weapon, looking through the journal, speaking to himself softly

Do your thing Black Mask, ill try to figure this out in the meantime.

*Aitome also notices Mr.Carnival, eyeing him and motioning to not interfere for now
Mona
Migrant? So, you got out of the hospital already?
*Mona ponders for a moment*
But, what you don't realize is that the Nexus was the friends we made along the way. All I want is to preserve that!
NotIgor
(You can begin prepping for evac. It's a tad late here.)
Mona
ooc: late post
Migrant
Right now I only care about a few things.... one of them being Maria.

That whole near-death thing made me realize how reckless I was being.

If you wont take me along, at least take Shaigis here.... I trust her to tell me the whole truth on what she sees.
Mona
OOC: Well, I think Teddie was already involved.
Makoto
*Makoto steps back and jumps into the rift*

Sorry but we are in a hurry!
DetectiveHonoka
*Honoka sighs, and waves to the opposing group*

As much as I'd love to hear you prattle on at nothing, we need to skedaddle. Toodles!

*He turns around and leaps into the rift, laughing as he does.*
Kazuya
Well, now that you guys mention it...!

*Kazuya lets out a small chuckle as he leaps through the rift opened by the Brawny man.*

Bye bye!
Yu-Narukami
Sorry, but we can't do that...

*Yu crushes a card in his hand summoning Izanagi-no-Okami as it begins spinning its blade and a green aura can be seen around it as a gust of strong win blows forth sending Yu back into the rift while also blowing away any who get too close.*

This is the path we walk and it's one we can't allow anyone to follow.

*Yu enters the rift at a high speed.*
NotIgor
*he jumps into the rift before closing it*
BLITZ!
NotIgor
(Mona do me a solid and begin evacs as well. Thx BB luv u)
Aincrad_Hazel
Aincrad nods but then turns towards the rift, now only a few feet from it.
Migrant
*Grins as the rift closes*

Very well then.... looks like we move onto plan B.
Aincrad_Hazel
"Not anytime soon!" He grabs a device from his belt. "Android here now!"
NotIgor
(Rift is sealed. Any further attempts to enter without proper means of access will be treated as godmoding and we don't want that)
Mona
OOC: srlsy?
Aitome_Korichi
Sigh... almost got em, so what now? Do we try a rift weapon?

*Aitome steps out and waves to everyone, pulling out the Nexite and short sword bound to it

Oh, by the way, Mr.Carnival what are you doing?
NotIgor
(sorry boo. Tell you what you can get in the right way when it all clears up)
Yu-Narukami
OOC: Wasn't Mona on my shoulder?
Teddie-Anon
OOC: I'm not here seeing as how i got into this thread too latem
Teddie-Anon
OOC: Late*
Aincrad_Hazel
(Sorry but I know what I'm doing. Using actual science.)
Aincrad_Hazel
"I stumbled upon them, but we might have a chance to catch them. You said they are planning on destroying the Nexus?!"
Aincrad_Hazel
"Y'all better have a plan, cause they can't do that. They wouldn't just destroy the Nexus, they would destroy all dimensions connected to it!"
Aitome_Korichi
It's... a long story, for now, you'll just have to put your faith in Black Mask, that's what im doing. You don't have to worry, even if they do destroy the core we plan to replace it, or at least Kiwi did, I have no idea what will happen... you do owe me some answers Black Mask...
Mona
OOC: Mona probably fell off what with those violent winds you summoned.
Migrant
Our plan is a liiiiiiiiittle on the rocks right now. Um....

*thinking fast, she snaps her fingers*

We need to see what Shinji might know! We need to find a backdoor into that core, and I might know a few people who can provide.

*mutters*If /he/ can get us in there he'll get free sea salt ice cream from me for the rest of the year....
Aincrad_Hazel
"Aitome." His voice rings out serious. "Have you ever exploded a grenade in a house? The explosion doesn't stay in one room. It'll take out everything that's connected to it. Only this isn't just a grenade, it's a literal universe killer."
Aitome_Korichi
I have a rift weapon of my own you know, it'll only have a few uses from what I can gather as it isn't exactly the best fusion, but it will do in a pinch if necessary.

I really don't wanna trust that pervy Bluntlord...
Aincrad_Hazel
"Well you better hurry it up. I'm not sure how long it'll take them to nuke us, and I'm not sure we can reverse it if we do get there."
Aitome_Korichi
I know, they plan to erase the core, but Black Mask has a plan to replace it, you have to trust her.
NotIgor
*inside the rift is a void with some bright lights surrounding the group almost like stars. it appears as though the surface they stand on is pulsating rhythmically, like breathing*
I always knew today would come. All of my work now bears its fruit!
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks around with awe in his eyes.*

This...is the path to the core?

I guess something like this should have been expected though...
Makoto
*Makoto looks around*

This is certainly a strange place...it reminds me of a place I once went through before.
Kazuya
Is this...this is the place, right?

*Kazuya looks around with wonder.*

Not bad...it's at least better than the last place we were...!
So new...!
DetectiveHonoka
*The scenery reflects off Honoka's glasses*

Man, what a place. No time to waste right? Let's get a move on.
NotIgor
*he thinks for a moment before pulling Yu aside, whispering to him*
The true.... split up... find the REAL... guide them... the only way.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks at the brawny man with surprize.*

Are you sure about that?

I'll..I'll do it but I hope you have a plan to go along with this.

Though knowing you...I guess you've thought this through.
NotIgor
*he nods before turning to the group*
I have decided the best way to secure our path would be to split up. The best groupings I have decided that Makoto and Kaz search with me. The detective follows Yu.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu walks up to one of the stars and pulls out his rift device.*

Well, here goes.

*Yu touches the gem on his rift blade and slashes open and exit on the star.*

Maybe I can finally make amends with this...
Kazuya
Split up...? But why...?

*Kazuya sighs and shakes his head, only to look forward again.*

No, you're right, it'll be faster this way...although more dangerous.
Makoto
*Makoto nods at the Brawny Man*

Lets get searching shall we?
DetectiveHonoka
I'll go with the leg stabber. Let's get this over with, eh?
Yu-Narukami
*Yu steps through the portal while gesturing to the detective to follow him.*
NotIgor
*the brawny man walks off into the distance scanning the horizon*
DetectiveHonoka
Godspeed folks, or whatever we heroes are supposed to say.

*He follows Yu out*
Aincrad_Hazel
Aincrad paces back and forth. "Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck... Alright screw this. Aitome I'm sick of waiting. What's the best way to get there quickly? Mig anything?!"
Yu-Narukami
*Yu steps out of a rift with Honoka following behind him a deep look of regret in his eyes.*

Enough of this...

I'm done...
Kazuya
*Kazuya quickly follows the Brawny man, and unshealts his first sword.*

Well...I can't say I'm not a little bit nervous of all this.
Aitome_Korichi
I know how you feel Mr.Carnival but we have to hold tight,

Ooc: Uh we are kinda waiting to figure things out over PMs/Discord hold tight for a second!
Makoto
*Makoto nods at Kazuya's remark*

Yes, Its a little nerve racking to say the least.

*She readies her knuckles*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks over to Honoka.*

I think it's time we gave up on this...

Neither of us really cares about this anyway, right?
Aincrad_Hazel
(Alright... Wish I could help there.)
DetectiveHonoka
Hm? Oh, yeah I couldn't really give any less of a shit then I do right now. What do you wanna do?
Aitome_Korichi
Ooc: yeah, just gotta wait, I could pass you an invite to the RP server on discord though, we mostly joke around there but we do discuss plots and what not
Yu-Narukami
We guide them to the core and let them enact their plan. They seem to have one and it seems like it'd be a lot simpler than having to evacuate everyone. Besides, do we really want to go through with the destruction of a world?

*Yu looks at Honoka with a pleading look.*
Aincrad_Hazel
(Sure pm it to me)
Kazuya
I...have a bad feeling about Honoka, I'm not sure why though...

*Kazuya shudders and turns to Makoto.*

Don't you feel it too? That...awkward presence he has?
Whenever he's around it feels...I can't lie, it scares me a bit.
Makoto
*Makoto looks at Kazuya and sighs*

Hes more of a free spirit thats for sure. And I know what you mean, I'm put off how he tends to act sometimes. I have my doubts about him...but I feel like we can trust him. Hes come all this way with us.
Aitome_Korichi
Ooc: done
DetectiveHonoka
*Honoka stops in his tracks, and turns to Yu.*

...Maybe not. If they truly enjoy this place...maybe we should leave it. I-I struggle with tugs at my heart. Things telling me to kill without mercy. I don't want that though. I want to help people. I'll trust you for now. Only because you're Yu.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks out into the Nexus.*

Alright, I think they must have left. Based on Mig's injuries they probably were at a hospital...

Apologizing will probably be the hardest part...

*Yu pulls out the rift blade and touches the Gem while thinking of the hospital.*

I remember when I was there...

*He cuts open a rift that leads to the entrance of a hospital building.*
Kazuya
I hope you're right...

*Kazuya than shealts his sword and looks at Makoto's weapon of choice.*

Shouldn't you be using other weapons if your arm just finished recovering?
My wallet looks kind of empty, ya know?

*Kazuya tries to laugh the tension away.*
DetectiveHonoka
You go work on convincing them, me being there might just make things more complicated. They don't trust me, understandably. I have something else to deal with.

*He slashes a rift open in the air, and steps through*
Makoto
*Makoto smiles*

I'll wait for how ever long to get those movies from you, so I'm ready to fight and maybe have something broken.

*She awkwardly laughs*

But my arm is feeling much better than before, that Nexite serum did some good work on my arm.
Kazuya
I might just get them right after this whole thing is over, so hey, it might just be a win-win situation for you.

*He checks his COMP for a bit.*

So there, you now may have gotten a little bit more of motivation.
You might want to write a list.
Makoto
*Makoto smiles and nods at Kazuya*

I have a few movies in mind already. Maybe just the Mad Max franchise.

*She lets out a short laugh*
NotIgor
*as he continues onward he begins chuckling, knowing that Yu is doing what must be done*
I think that the split was the right decision... You never know what kind of accidents happen from too much interference...
Kazuya
*Kazuya lets out a short laugh.*

That would be great, the entire trilogy was one of my favorites movies of all time!

*He then looks forwards at the Brawny man.*

What do you mean by that...?
NotIgor
*he stops chuckling*
Our friends may not be seeing us so soon. They plan on carrying out my orders to the end.
*he whispers to Kaz*
If you... the end... somethings... be done... only... his end.... our future.
Migrant
*Arrives on scene at the portal into the Nexus Core.*

Alright, this is it. Past this rift we can't come back until the Nexus is safe....
Shaigis_Unit02
*appears beside her*
........
Akamoto_Nanaka
*Warps to the location with Robin in tow*
Robin-K
*Robin remained silent, his body tensing as a dark laughter echoed in his thoughts..*
...
Akamoto_Nanaka
Hehehehehe! I can smell it.....
Yu-Narukami
*Yu arrives at the scene.*

Yeah...

I haven't seen Honoka since coming back though.

I hope nothing bad happened when we parted ways.
Migrant
I hope he's not double-crossing you.

If only because that'd be bad for us.
Kazuya
*Kazuya shakes his head after hearing the brawny man's whisper. Looking confused and even afraid.*

I...I see...
I-I understand...
Aitome_Korichi
*Aitome then walks into the scene, Tormention receding back, snapping his fingers as he enters his thief outfit

So where is it? Where do we go Silver Hair?
Yu-Narukami
*Yu sighs as he fully opens the rift with his sword.*

Once we go in, there no coming back out without using a rift weapon at the entrance.

Those are the rules I was told of the place.
Aincrad_Hazel
"Let's open this sucker up. I'm not letting that psychopath kill multiple dimensions."
Akamoto_Nanaka
As long as matter exists there, Warping is fair game for me!
DetectiveHonoka
*Honoka is sitting with his arm wrapped around his knees not far away. he turns to the group, and gives them a weak wave.*

Hey there Peg Leg. Glad you decided to give him a chance. I know you don't have much reason to trust me, and in truth I don't want your trust. I'm only doing this to spite the guy who wanted me dead. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?
Aitome_Korichi
Well at least I got mine.. its good for a couple of uses as the fusion aint perfect, but itll do in a pinch.
Migrant
Yu, do we look like we're giving up on our home?

No, then let's go!

As Kalib would say, Allons-y!

*wheels on in!*
Makoto
*Makoto looks at the two curiously *

Keeping secrets huh? What are you two keeping from me?
Akamoto_Nanaka
Tally Ho!
*runs in, dragging Robin*
NotIgor
*he waves his hand dismissively*
I only told him things he should know. Nothing more.
Shaigis_Unit02
*glares at Yu, and enters after Mig*
Yu-Narukami
Right...

*Yu walks into the rift while taking one final look back.*
DetectiveHonoka
*Honoka stands up, and trudges inside, following the group.*
Robin-K
*Dragged, Robin follows after Nana*
Let's go.
Kazuya
*Kazuya turns to Makoto and shakes his head.*

It's nothing Makoto, you don't have to worry about...!

*He smiles awkwardly at her, but his face keeps showing some sort of...fear and anxiety.*
Akamoto_Nanaka
Hehehehe! I'm coming for you! EHheheheheh!
Aitome_Korichi
Alright! We cant stop now! Comeon Mr.Carnival! With me now!

*Aitome then grabs Mr.Carnival and begins to push him towards the rest of the group
Aincrad_Hazel
He walks forward only to stop before entering. "Yu... If this is a trap and we are gullible, then here's what you'll need to know. Whoever that asshole is, he isn't telling you everything. If he blows up the Nexus, it could cause a chain reaction that could destroy any universe connected to here." With that he walks forward.
Makoto
*Makoto stares at the two suspiciously and then sighs*

If its nothing I have to worry about then fine. I just hope you aren't keeping anything too big from me.
Aincrad_Hazel
(Or pushed forward instead.)
Yu-Narukami
*The area they enter is full of a strange star like lights in an endless voice, the ground pulses with energy from below.*

This is it, the path to the core.
Aitome_Korichi
(Good man)
Aincrad_Hazel
"They are far ahead of us... Which way Yu? We need to hurry."
Shaigis_Unit02
*looks around in awe*
It's like she said it would be.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks down.*

I'm...I'm not sure. I was only here once and I left almost right away.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu comes upon a realization and looks forward, pulling out a Nexite crystal from his pocket.*

This should guide us...
Akamoto_Nanaka
Should I follow the scent?
Robin-K
Don't worry Yu.
We can make it from here..
Aitome_Korichi
Huh.. I don't even see a path.. looks like we'll have to split up at any rate, I'm sticking with Mr.Carnival and Onii-chan I suppose, lead the way.
DetectiveHonoka
Let's hope that bastard doesn't find us, I'd hate to have to fight him as a group. Once this wraps up, I plan on tearing him into little strips myself.
Aitome_Korichi
Ooc: nvm?
Migrant
You think that thing can guide us...?

What, does it have homing powers?
Aincrad_Hazel
"Alright we need to hurry, they are walking so we might still have a chance." He turns around to everyone. "Alright people this is it. I hope y'all are able to run fast and hard. Theirs a small chance that he might choose to 'take care of' another of his teammates the same way he tried with Yu and Honoka, and I don't want a single life to be lost so let's do this!"
Shaigis_Unit02
*nods at Nana*
Stay on top of it.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks over to Migrant.*

Nexite is attracted to other Nexite by some sort of Magnetism, the higher the concentration the stronger the pull.

The core is where Nexite is made so the pull should be much more immense towards it.

*Yu holds up the stone and drops it in midair as it begins to float and slowly float a certain direction.*
Aya
(Is it too late to join in)
NotIgor
(The portal is still open my guy)
Yu-Narukami
OOC: Technically I didn't close the rift, but you'd be behind everyone else.
Migrant
Well, I suppose we follow it. I mean, what are the odds of that weirdo preparing a bigger, fake deposit, huh?
Aitome_Korichi
Hehe, I've been waiting for this, we've got this in the bag, I hope your ready to do the thing Black Mask.
Aya
*grips sword handle and runs through portal* WHO'S READY TO DIE!
Migrant
*Glances between Ai and Yu*

Thing? What thing? I wasn't put in charge of any thing.
Akamoto_Nanaka
Well, I mean, It isn't REALLY a scent.... but I'll know if we're getting closer to them.....
A girl never forgets these things..... Hehehehe.....
Yu-Narukami
*As everyone follows the crystal the path begins to distort and change, a small stream of liquid passes by on either side of the path and the floor stops glowing.*

This flooring seems unusual...I'd watch your step, not too sure what this is about.
Aitome_Korichi
Uh... really? I then who is doing the plan with the Aururu canon? Or the core replacement?
Migrant
This smells like some kind of self defense mechanism....

Our path will probably be blocked by a river soon.
Migrant
Cannon? Oh, you mean the video I had prepared.

I passed that off to an ally in a position of power. In case it's needed because the evacuation is going too smoothly.

If you haven't seen it, it's probably because Gamma's done something stupid.
Shaigis_Unit02
Hmmm...
Aya
*arrived a few feet from the group after running* I'm never running *gasping for air* like that again!
Aitome_Korichi
Well than lets keep a look out..

*Aitome then keeps his eyes on the floor, watching where he steps as he speaks again

Well that answers one.. what about the core replacement though? Is Aigis doing it?
Migrant
Someone will take care of that when the moment is right. *Gives Ai a glare*
Yu-Narukami
*As they go in further the Nexite crystal begins to shake a bit as the walls glow with an array of dark blue Nexite crystals.*

I think we're starting to get close...
Migrant
Huh, what do you know... we're actually making progress it seems. *looks over at Nana, as if expecting some kind of reaction.*
Akamoto_Nanaka
Where are they?
I'm looking for them!
Aya
Um would it be a bad idea to get a sample of the liquid?
Shaigis_Unit02
*Shaigis closes her eyes in concentration*
Aincrad_Hazel
"Yeah... It looks like we are..." Aincrad keeps looking around.
Akamoto_Nanaka
*Nods at Mig*
Yu-Narukami
*The crystals begin growing larger and streams of purple can be seen mixed into them.*

Strange...I've never seen Nexite like this before...
DetectiveHonoka
*Honoka has been uncharacteristically silent, walking with a serious scowl on his face.*
Aitome_Korichi
Yes.. I think that would be bad... let's just keep moving...
Migrant
The streams in here.... is this starting to remind anyone of Mementos....?
Aya
Mig, that's impossible. The phantom thieves got rid of it.
Shaigis_Unit02
I sense... Something strange...
Akamoto_Nanaka
*Nana starts twitching, Magic gathering around her*
Yu-Narukami
*Finally the crystal starts moving faster before sticking to a large crystalline figure in the middle of a giant circular room. Yu walks up and pulls the crystal off with some effort before pocketing it again.*

Is this the core?

*Yu steps back and observes it.*

I guess, it's covered in Nexite...
Migrant
.... And where are the others, Yu...?
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks around with a confused glance.*

I'm...I'm not sure...

Did they already...?
Aitome_Korichi
Huh... my Nexite is certainly reacting as well...

*Aitome pulls out his crystal and I begins to shake violently, Aitome then puts it back

Well we should stay on guard now right? I'll watch around.

*Aitome then finds a place to hide, watching over the core
Shaigis_Unit02
.......
Migrant
Yu....

*there's an eerie calm about Mig's voice*

What did your boss tell you? In exact words?
Akamoto_Nanaka
*Nana twitches more, Mass amounts of magic gathering*
Aya
Shaigis? Are you okay?
DetectiveHonoka
The bastard already ran, he's probably waiting on Yu's OK to do blow the core. I guess the plan went something like kill me, then skedaddle and run away to the Rift.

We can probably find the devices and dismantle them. So, we should hurry. If I'm disposable to him, then Yu probably is as well. I doubt he'd have an issue blowing this place up before Yu gave the go ahead.
Aincrad_Hazel
Aincrad starts backing up out of sight of everyone. "Oh no." He whispers to himself.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu remains silent, tears rolling down his face.*
Migrant
..... Nana, where is Kaz right now?
Robin-K
*Robin grunted, eyes darkening*
Where the fuck are they..?
Aincrad_Hazel
Aincrad whispers. "Get ready, full form, solid." He backs up a little more.
Akamoto_Nanaka
Hehehehe!!
Shall I Take us to him!?
I can take us to Kazy!
Heheheheh!!!
Migrant
Not until we know if he's in here or not.

If we warp and he's in that other world, we're toast.
Robin-K
Yu....
...don't do this..
...You start this...
I'm not going to stop until a bullet is lodged in your brain..
NotIgor
*he stands at the entrance sweating*
It would appear the plans are in place... We have no further business here.... Let us hope that the others have left too...
*he opens a rift to the outside*
I don't wish to stand here any longer...
Yu-Narukami
I was told to lead you to the core...

That's all I was told.

Nothing more.

I don't know what's going on either.
Aitome_Korichi
Wait...don't tell me... Silver Hair... I was so naive in trusting you... Tormention was right...
Kazuya
*Kazuya sighs and plays with his hair a little bit.*

Looks like it's done, can't believe we pulled through!

*Kazuya walks towards the rift.*
Migrant
Are you saying you were betrayed? That this place is in fact set to blow!?
Aincrad_Hazel
Aincrad shakes his head. "Aitome, Robin, Nana, Honoka, and Yu, all of you need to head back. Now. It's a trap. The rest of us will need to disarm it."
Yu-Narukami
I thought he wanted to see what you would do...

Maybe a resolution could be reached if your plan worked.
Shaigis_Unit02
Robin!
The orb!
Makoto
*Makoto nods*

Lets go shall we?

*She follows behind Kazuya*
Migrant
Our plan can still work but we need to find the core.

Can't you lock onto the other Nexite? Nana, you can't tell where Kaz has BEEN can you?
Robin-K
*Robin scratched his head*
We're not stopping, we'll find them.
Akamoto_Nanaka
Hehehehehe.......
Aincrad_Hazel
He turns to Shaigis. "You'll be our saving grace here if we can disarm this." He looks at Mig. "Ready your replacement core."
Yu-Narukami
*Yu begins walking back towards the entrance., he's strangely calm in the way he does it.*
Robin-K
*Robin nodded, handing the an orb to Shaigis*
Here.
Aitome_Korichi
Too late for that now Mr.Carnival... there isn't a way we could ever make it back, its all in from now on...

*Aitome then pulls out his shortsword,

Silver Hair, at least don't fight us.. I don't want to hurt you but...

*Aitome then points the blade at him

I won't make the same mistake twice
NotIgor
*he exits the rift grinning maniacally*
Tell me Kazuya... have I ever seemed the kind of person who would change? I still plan on keeping people alive!
Akamoto_Nanaka
What do you mean? I've been aware of Kazy's location this whole time! Of course I know where he's been!
Yu-Narukami
*Yu continues walking away.*

I'm not here to fight, neither have I ever been.
Aya
Guys, come back safe! *goes through rift*
Akamoto_Nanaka
Should I take everyone to him right now!?
*The mass of magic is filling the atmosphere*
Migrant
Did he ever end up in this room, then?
Kazuya
*Kazuya just smirks with both eyes closed as he exists.*

You're actually better than I thought, even when I had my doubts, and even considered using this knowledge against you, now, we watch the grand finale.
NotIgor
*a massive burst of energy fills the room before a vacuous source vacates it. Electronics are now disabled inside the Void. All energy is negated.*
Migrant
*Suddenly! A burst of energy! Mig just grins!*

I think that's our answer as to who's on who's side!

Crack that thing open and let's go!
Yu-Narukami
*Yu steps out through the rift at the entrance and takes out his rift blade.*

Sorry...but I understand the meaning behind his words now...

*Yu slashes the rift as it dissipates.*

This is for the best...

Now none of us will have to fight.
Akamoto_Nanaka
Oh! I'LL GET MY FIGHT!
Migrant
What?

YU YOU SON OF A BITCH!

*head turn to everyone*

We've got no other option now, we crack that nexite open and deal with whatever's inside.
Aitome_Korichi
Sigh... why did it end like this... Silver Hair... I'm... conflicted...

*Aitome then turns to Black Mask, expression looking somewhat upset

So, what will the new core do? The Nexus has always been a weird place. Can't imagine what it will do.
Akamoto_Nanaka
Can I go to Kaz!? Can I get him!?
Migrant
I'm not sure what it will do but at this point we're kinda past the point of no return on discussing that. Our only way out of here alive is to replace the core and hope that does the trick.
Migrant
Wait.... he used a rift weapon.... Ai, do you still have your weapon?
DetectiveHonoka
*Honoka turns to the group, and for the first time in quite a while he smiles.*

Oh? You got a plan do ya? Sounds great, really it does. Unfortunately, I want this place gone. Eradicated. That bundle of muscle may want the safety of everyone, but I honestly couldn't give less of a damn about that. So, I guess it's time for me, the distraction to get to work.
Aitome_Korichi
Hm? Yeah I do why?

*Aitome then pulls out the short sword, bound with a Nexite crystal

Do you want me to open a rift? To where?
Aincrad_Hazel
Aincrad nods. "We will also have to refill the energy that's been lost... But we are in luck with that." He grins as Shadow forms partially. "What do you think powers our personas?"
Migrant
Oh of COURSE there's a distraction!

Honestly who is it that leaked our plans? Mona, probably.

Nana, take care of this guy first, then you can go deal with Kaz yourself or with Ai.
Aitome_Korichi
*Aitome then turns to the detective, eyes flaring red

Are you sure that's smart? I wouldn't mind starting off with the detective. Hehehe
Aincrad_Hazel
Shadow fully forms in front of Honoka in Persona form with his giant hammer. "Not so fast. Y'all do what you're going to do." He swings his hammer at Honoka. "Hurry with it."
Akamoto_Nanaka
*Magic charges again*
Happily!!!!
Aitome_Korichi
Ill come along, sounds like you've got this place under control, I'm better off knocking heads anyways.

*Aitome then clutches his sword, energy seems to surround it

When your ready.
Akamoto_Nanaka
No..... More.... Holding.... Back.......
DetectiveHonoka


Oh, you really ARE dumb. Come on buddy, you should know by now I was faking with that detective bullshit. Same with wanting to help people. In reality what I want is simple. You all love this place, so I want it gone. Destroying what other people hold dear...

*He holds out his hand, as a black fedora materializes in his palm and he places it on his head. As he does, a metal hook in the shape of a snake's head blocks the swing of the hammer. The man looks up with a wicked grin.*

...is truly my favorite thing in the world to do.
Migrant
Blah, blah, blah. You want to destroy this, your boss wants to kill us, Yu wants to be evil.

You know what's a fact?

We're gonna save the core, and we're gonna do it with style.

THE PHANTOM THIEF WAY!

*Her rapier appears in front of her, and she clutches it tightly, a strange sort of pressure radiating off it now.*
Aincrad_Hazel
Shadow grins and goes to his true form and his weapons form behind him. "Leave this ass to me. It's like he was tailor made for me." He brings out his Urumi and whips it against the ground. "You don't seem to understand, I protect all that, and forever will. So come and get me, 'detective'."
Robin-K

HahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahhahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!
Betrayal again...
Each..and every time....
hazama-but-RP
[The now revealed Hazama laughs to himself, holding his gut from how funny this situation is to him.]

Sure, sure. No problem. Let's play for a while!

[He launches the hook forward, an intangible green chain attached to it as it flies toward the man, hoping to clamp down on him.]
Aincrad_Hazel
Aincrad gets up, and ignoring the rest of everyone else, walks around the sides and grabs hold of a Nexite lodged in the wall. "Maybe..."
Shaigis_Unit02
*clutches the orb tightly, ready to use it at a moments notice*
Akamoto_Shinji
*warps to Nanaka*
Well, Go get him you two, I'll tie down the fort here......

*pulls out Scythe*
Aincrad_Hazel
Shadow side steps the chain and scoffs. "I know this trick." He jumps towards the wall and starts swinging his Urumi around to block the chain if it chases after him, and circles around keeping a distance between the two.
Akamoto_Nanaka
*Grabs Robin*
His blood is mine......

*warps to Kazuya's location*
Aitome_Korichi
Hehe, been waiting for that, protect them alright Onii chan? I'll be counting on you!

*Aitome then cuts a rift open, following Nana as he rifts away
Aincrad_Hazel
Shadow nods and grins, giving Aitome a wink before refocusing.
Migrant
*Sees the fight and nods to Aigis, tipping her head over toward the mass of Nexite.*

I may be a 'peg leg' but I happen to have one or two tricks still up my sleeve.

Fortuna!

*The wheel-bearing goddess of fate appears, accompanied by an array of eyes.*

Let's see you handle this!

*The eyes begin to fire multicolored psychic lasers at Hazama... and at the Nexite.*
hazama-but-RP
Isn't this many against one a little unfair? I'm still weak after separating from Terumi-san after all. Oh well, more fun for me!

[The hook bites down on thin air, and the air around the snake head seems to rupture in response. Hazama swings off of it, holding the chain in one hand and spinning a knife out with the other. It seems to be his rift weapon, as the bolt holding the handle together is glowing. Hazama doesn't really seem to mind the Nexite being targeted, and even seems to be mostly ignoring Migrant.]
Shaigis_Unit02
*Hears over to the core softly touches it*
This will be work!
Aincrad_Hazel
Shadow grins and whips his sword around the hook and pulls on it trying to out balance him. "Don't worry you only have to focus on me little guy." The hook starts seeming to freeze up at the touch of the sword against it.

Aincrad starts moving over to Mig and whispers in her ear that he needs her over by the Nexite.
Migrant
*Wheels over to the Nexite with Shaigis*

Okay.... so we need to get whatever this stuff is off first, to have any chance.
Shaigis_Unit02
*she nods*
Right... But how?
Migrant
I guess chipping at it. Maybe Personas...?

*checks the Nexite over for any prior weak spots from Igor's work*
Addalme
Hi guys, what is happening here?
hazama-but-RP
Nice try, but that won't work on me!

[Hazama releases the chain and it dissipates, though the man himself is still soaring through the air. He passes over Shadow, and slashes downward at him with his knife, aiming for the back of his neck. He lands not far away, sliding his feet along the ground like a dancer and holding his hat in place with one hand.]
Aincrad_Hazel
"Listen if I'm right, God I hope I am, we can charge small stones of Nexite with our Personas. They seem to use the same energy." Aincrad grabs hold of one and tries to pull it out. "We are going to need a lot of it though. A lot of Persona and Persona users, to recharge the core. Small ones just take a little amount."
Akamoto_Shinji
Well, you guys can handle this guy.....
*warps away*
Migrant
Wait, it's charged by Personas you think? That would mean it's not related to destruction at all if it's true...

Still, shouldn't we at least confirm if there's something underneath? Perhaps this stuff hardens over the core in response to trauma.
Shaigis_Unit02
*summons Samael and searches for a weakpoint*
Shaigis_Unit02
It might....
Aincrad_Hazel
Shadow grins and lets himself fall of balance and fall to dodge the blade only to roll and get back up. "I didn't expect it to, I just needed to test some things out." Chuckling he grabs out a small bloodied knife while continuing to whip his sword in circles.
