Abandoned Warehouse: Shady Dealings Operations Headquarters
*In a run down part of the city are a series of abandoned warehouses. There have been fliers left all around about a "Supernatural Enthusiast" meeting being held inside one of them. The warehouse in question seems mostly quite, but one of the front doors are open. It seems nothing has started yet*
*Looks outside to an abandoned clothing store* I think that's my cocaine operation, I mean what? *Looks at Warehouse* Yeah... That looks shady.
Gin
*Gin is standing around outside* Why did that idiot send me here? Heh. Reminds me of the old base. Ah memories. *Gin chuckles to himself*
*Rom follows the address given to him and looks around, setting up a scan of the area* What do we have here... Could he be there? *Looks at Pika and Gin* Hey guys...
*Minato, on his motorcycle, drives up to the abandoned buildings*
[Hazama strides up to the warehouse, hands stashed in his pockets. He glances at his watch briefly, before looking up at the building.] My my, isn't this familiar. If I'm not mistaken this is the same nondescript warehouse I was at not long ago. What are you planning, I wonder?
Hey Rom.
Hello, everyone~ *Kade appears inside the building out of nowhere. An elephant-like demon stands beside him.* Nice day we're having, hmm?
*Gamma steps outside and bows to the group* Well well, nice to see we've got a bit of a gang. Don't worry, you're safe to come in. THis is my... Lab for lack of a better term. Its a bit poor, but it'll suffice for our purposes. *Gamma glances inside and notices Kade* See? He wasn't shy about it.
Gin
Quite a crowd. What's everyone doing here?
*He looks at the buildings* Hmm, I never knew that these buildings existed in the city...
*Pulls out a shotgun* So when're we heading in?
Your... lab? ...The "organization" you're talking about is there? The exposition dump may be more than a paragraph...
A lab? Never been inside one of those before. *Kade wanders around, completely forgetting about why he came here for a moment. The Ganesha follows close behind.*
Wait a second, this looks a bit familiar...
*Gamma clears his throat and gestures to the warehouse door* Look, I know "supernatural enthusiast" Was kinda a lame way to put things. But I couldn't think of a better way to gather the strange parts of the Nexus. Either way, please follow me inside where I can explain things a bit better. *Gamma glares at Pika for a moment* Don't you dare blow up anything in my lab. I'm broke enough as-is. Can't afford to go replacing this stuff. *Gamma chuckles and looks to Rom* No no, don't get me wrong. The organization is nowhere near here. This is the point where I'm going to send you in from.... I'll explain when we're inside. *Gamma turns and walks back into the warehouse, waving at Kade*
*Walks into warehouse and looks around*
Organization? Interesting. Well, lead the way, Lavvy. Consider my interest piqued.
*I enter the warehouse and looks around as well* ...
I see... Let's go. *Walks into the warehouse, looking at the hologram of his scan data*
*Kotori finds herself with the others* Huh? Whas going on?
Sam
*Sam pops out of a portal and pushes Gin into it before closing it* A lab you say? Don't mind if I do. *Sam happily enters the warehouse* Gin: That was rude. Sam: Shut it, snowman. This intrests me more than you. Gin: Can't argue with that...
*"Lab" Is a bit of a strong word for the mixture of metal scraps and wires strewn about on a few worktables. Its a bit fancier since Hazama last saw it, but still far from anything impressive. Gamma leads the group to about the middle of the area and sits down in one of five chairs* Couldn't afford more for our meeting, sorry about that. *Gamma waves to Kotori and smiles* I was just about to get to that miss. *Gamma clears his throat* So the situation is like this, I've requested your help today in taking a powerful energy source away from those who might abuse it. Wouldn't want just anyone to have something like this. So, the plan is simple.... In part because I couldn't get past their security systems so I don't know what's inside. *Gamma takes out a jeweled piece of metal and shows it to the group* I'll be using what's known as a "Rift" weapon to send you a little bit inside their main facility. Fortunately I was able to look behind one of the "employees only" doors when I took a tour of the place. From there, it'll be up to you people to locate and retrieve this energy source. *Gamma searches the worktables for a small device, its screen shows a few meters, and seems inactive* This should be able to tell you when you're getting warmer. And once you find the energy you can store it inside. Any further questions?
*Kade taps his foot* Is everyone inside now? Good. Now I can actually hear about this thing...
Anyway, what exactly IS this energy source? I'd like to know that.
*Raises hand* Ooh! Ooh! Do we get to kill people?
[Hazama would shake his head, while looking at the screen.] Hm, well sneaking around isn't much new to me as I'm sure you can figure out. I was in the intelligence division, after all. However, how can we be sure you won't use this power source for something...nefarious? Hell, what's there for me to gain from this, hm? I'll be risking my pretty face out there, so you can't expect me to work for free.
*He raises his hand as well* Is this a stealth mission or something?
A highschooler with a passive expression and strange looking ear buds walks into the building as Gamma explains the situation. Though just arriving he shows great interest in Gamma's words. The talk of a power source intrigues him. Could a source like that be the work of some otherworldly being as well? For now he simply stares onward and listens in on what Gamma explains to the group.
Yeah, why is it so dangerous? ...and what exactly is it that we have to take? A circuit breaker or something else? *Sits on a chair*
Sam
A powerful energy source, eh? Now I'm even more interested.
*Gamma smiles and looks around, first glancing at Kotori* I'd rather you didn't. That would almost certainly raise suspicion. Ideally you would be able to come in and out totally undetected. But if you do get caught a fight is quite likely. *Gamma turns to Hazama and sighs* Well, I'll let you in on this much. I'm hoping to use the power source in my research, so I guess helping out a buddy of yours is something? I think you'd prefer if my research succeded. *Gamma glances over to Minato* Preferably, yes. Though I suppose you could fight your way through, I'm not responsible if there are lasting consequences for that. *Finally Gamma looks at Kade and shrugs* Guess I owe that explanation. The power source is a "shard" of sorts. Small fraction of another great energy. It originates from this Nexus which actually makes it fairly unique. *Hearing Rom's question. Gamma turns to him* Tell me, would you describe a Persona as dangerous in the wrong hands? And of course, one person's spiritual energy is nowhere near the amount this thing might be able to put out. We're talking widespread devastation if they end up weaponizing it.
Hm, well I suppose I could help out a little, but we'll say you owe me a favor later down the line, okay? I think that's fair for both of us.
So basically, Magic Nexus Power Crystal. That makes sense. Ganesha and I should be able to get that for you. *The demon beside him nods*
Booo.... sneaking is booooring... Cutting a bloody path through my enemies is so much more fun!
Well, in that case... *He switches to his metavers SWAT team outfit and puts silencers on his M1911s* I'll stick with the shadows...
*Kade shakes his head at Kotori* As fun as it is to nuke everything in our path, some things require... tact. Don't want a bunch of people to zerg rush us.
Ooc: Metaverse*
*Rom's eyes widen, and he becomes slightly pale* N-No way... It's even more dangerous than that? So that's what we're dealing with... *He regains his composure* The Nexus never ceases to surprise me... I am ready. *Turns to Kotori* I don't really want to Leeroy Jenkins this either, so I agree with Yuki.
Yes! Zerg rush! More blood to spill! *She's bouncing on her heels*
*Gamma smiles and nods at Hazama* I suppose that's fair enough. As for sneaking, looks like that might be the easy part. *Gamma soon turns to Kotori and shrugs* If you really want to I guess I could rift you into a different part of the building to serve as a distraction. But I'm not responsible for whatever happens there. *Gamma then looks over to the rest of the group* And while she's causing havoc you would have a much easier time actually finding and grabbing the object.
Well, are we going to start the mission? *He cracks his knuckles*
Oi oi oi.... I wanna kill, not go on a suicide mission.... -_- *shrugs* Fine, guess I'll sneak.
Having heard a decent amount of the plan and what they're after, Kazuya simply decides to blend onto the crowd. His interest is piqued by the claims of a powerful object for reasons even he isn't sure of. Something about having power fills him with an unknown feeling and also causes his mind to tingle as his lost memories ache. Of course, if it means helping humanity be ride of another threat that might try to enslave them then all the better to get such a weapon out of their hands.
Alright then... *Kade claps his hands together* Shall we get started? *The Ganesha stands at ready, although the demon stares at Kazuya. Its gaze is filled with... respect? Fear?*
I thought you'd come around miss. Very well, if there are no further questions, then mission start. *Gamma chuckles and takes out a jeweled knife, slashing into the air and cutting open a rift of light. Inside the rift a long hallway can be seen. There seems to be a camera towards the end, where the hall splits in two but there are no guards in sight. Gamma looks back to the group* Alright, once you're in there I may lose contact with you. And that'll be fine. Fortunately one of us. *gestures to Hazama* Has a way to bring you all back. So that'll make things a bit easier. Oh, and someone should take this. *Gamma holds out the device from earlier, one of the bars is filling, indicating some readings, but its far from full*
*Runs through the rift without a second thought, throwing a tiny lighting bolt at the camera at the end of the hall as she enters*
I guess someone else can take that thing. Come on, Ganesha. *The Ganesha snaps out of its thoughts and follows its master into the rift.*
[Hazama would remove his hat, and bow deeply before righting himself and replacing it on his head.] Then it looks as if we have a deal, my friend. [He then swings one of his knives at the air, cutting a hole in the very fabric of reality. The surrounding area of the cut folds away like paper, and through the newly created hole seems to be their destination. Hazama climbs through the hole fearlessly, and turns to the rest of the group.] Right this way folks, chop chop.
Alright, let's go... *Minato summons his compendium, and turns it into a mask*
OOC: Hazama is just so cool he uses his own rift. yeah, that's what happened. Totally.
*Rom's hoodie and jeans changes into his metaverse outfit, and his mask appears. His adjusts the hood and follows the group with a smirk on his face.* Let's do it...
Kazuya is a little weirded out by people's clothes randomly changing but remains relaxed about the situation regardless. He has much bigger interests and thus grabs the device before stepping through the rift. Better safe than sorry after all.
Sam
Let's do this metal gear style. Now I just need to find a box. *Sam chuckles to himself*
*He follows the group*
*PK charges into the warehouse, practically falling into the rift while he's riding what appears to be 2 floating swords? It's PK, not even he knows what's happening Woah!
[Hazama just stand there, watching PK's blunder and Kotori's horrible crime against camerakind, and facepalm.] Oh my god. Whatever, you lot are STILL a good bit more competent than most of the NOL soldiers.
*Gamma sighs and shakes his head as the rift closes* Well, there went any chance of the "stealth" factor. *Inside the dreary, grey hallway, Kotori's lightning bolt causes the camera to shatter, making quite a noise. However, no alarms go off. Instead the sounds of walking feet can be heard coming from the right hallway at the end* *The team can faintly hear a woman's voice from the right* "This better not be 514 again. I keep telling them to bring more qualified individuals. I'll admit they're capable, but this is a bit much" *From the middle of the hallway the device Kazuya's holding hardly seems to have changed. It seems like there's a ways to go* OOC: And here I switch to GMing, won't be using an official update system, but this is where the event starts. So enjoy.
What? You destroy cameras, that's what you do in stealth games.
*PK then jumps up, brushing himself off as the swords defuse into 2 Jack Frosts, one with a P and one with an S on each forehead, he then turns towards the voice and speaks out walking towards it Oh! Hello there! I am Pancake Knight! At your service!
*Whispers to Kotori* Not necessarily... *Whispers to the others* Who's that...? Should we hi- *facepalms at PK* Godammit...
Kazuya pulls out a square device that opens up into a screen and keyboard. He presses some buttons and the device glows brightly with a red light before a strange monkey with a staff riding a cloud appears out of a burst of red sparks. The demon grabs onto Kazuya making his body incorpereal before they both move into a nearby wall to avoid the guard's detection.
*Kade smirks at Kazuya's little magic trick. Two can play at that game. He snaps his fingers, and Ganesha grabs his shoulder, causing the two to vanish. If all goes well, they re-appear on the other side of the wall with Kazuya.*
Uwaa.... *Kotori Turns the corner and fires a small Lightning bolt at the voice, hoping to paralyze it*
*mumbles to himself* What difficulty is this on, One Down? *Starts a scan of the area's infrastructures and any heat signatures that may be around*
OOC: @Kazuya_Minegishi just two short questions while I wait for the last few people to post. First, are you moving through the wall, to whatever room is adjacent, or simply into the wall? Second, if the answer is through, which wall are you moving through?
Hey! Don't hurt a random person! *PK then reaches out at the bolt and attempts to block it, shaking his head I don't approve of random violence!
Sam
So much for stealth.
OOC: Oh, into. Sorry for the possible confusion there, I should have stated my intention earlier but I wanted to observe the situation from a place where I could not be perceived.
[Hazama would press a finger against his lips in a "shh" gesture, and lean against the wall. He whispers to the others.] Make yourselves scarce you idiots. We wait until th- [Hazama would stop at the two idiot's antics, and lightly hit his head against the wall.] Oh for the love of god. [Despite the setback, he stays pressed against the corner, but a green chain is visibly coiled around his far hand, lying in wait for what happens next.]
Shut up pointy face! It's an enemy you worthless twit! *Kicks PK and fires another bolt*
ooc: Kade, on the other hand, is going to the other side
OOC: Hey guys. I'm back. Was actually productive for a day by exercise, doing homework, and doing my chores. IC: *Wakes up* Eh...
*Rom grips his mask tightly on his face, waiting for something to happen. He faces the group, keeping his voice below a whisper* If anything goes south, I can try something... i-if you that's okay, that is...
Hey Rom, where're we and why are we here again? Wasn't it something about a warehouse?
(If that's*)
*Kazuya and Rom seem to have a good idea of what stealth is. Kazuya remains out of everyone's sight. Meanwhile Rom's scan shows several heat signatures in a room directly to the right. As for the area, it seems to be like a honeycomb of hallways, intended to be space-efficient while remaining fairly easy to navigate.* *Speaking of the room with several heat signatures, Kade comes out face to face with several labcoat-clad individuals in what seems to be a break room. One of them was drinking coffee and immediately spits it out. The rest scramble away from the break room, one heading to a nearby phone* "I thought there was something off." *As for the people assaulting the random guard, Kotori pops out into the hallway and fires two bolts at the person. PK is in time to intercept the second bolt, and catch the look of surprise on the blonde-haired, uniformed woman's face as she is shocked... She falls to the ground and remains there*
*Whispers to Pika* Basically, shady organization has dangerous energy source, we're taking it from them... Equip your stealth build...
Oof! *PK then takes the kick and falls onto his back, throwing Pancake at the bolt to block it before getting up again Even enemies deserve respect! Besides how do you know it's a bad person? Everyone has good in their heart! I'm sure of it!
Oh I remember now... *Pulls on 2 suit, Silenced Deagle, and Taser*
OOC: *2 Peice
(Nvm the blocked bolt, late post) Oh no! Are you okay? *PK then runs up to person and inspects them over, making sure they aren't severely injured
Welp, so much for stealth. Better take care of this. Health Save... *A strange aura washes over him and Ganesha.* And take care of everyone else. Multi-Strike. *He rushes at a group of scientists, mainly aiming for the one going for the phone. He strikes in a blur- they hits are not too strong, but they hit at least 3 times, up to 7 if someone was incredibly sluggish. Main goal: knock the group out, but most importantly Phone Guy.*
....... I think I'll take a passive role from now on.... Ehehe..... *Walks over to the rest of the group*
*Still supposedly hidden, Rom looks at the hologram with the scan data, and inserts waypoints on the map leading to those areas. He points to the room Kade is in, seeing the labcoaters represented as grey icons moving sporadically. He mumbles to himself again* What is he doing...? *Turns back to the group and whispers again* Anyway, the whole area doesn't seem to be very mazelike. Let's see what routes I can dig up... *swipes across the hologram screen, inspecting different areas of the map*
[Hazama sighs, walking right past both of the idiots, and crouches down next to the woman.] Sorry about this, miss. [Hazama would search the woman for any sort of identification, and whether he found what he was looking for or not, he would plunge a knife into the base of her neck. He leaves the blade there to stop blood from pouring out, stands up, and turns toward the aforementioned idiots.] Do something with this, will you? Can't have anyone finding it. [He walks down the hallway she just came from, hoping to put as much distance between him and those two as possible.]
Kazuya continues walking along the inside of the wall. Unfortunately, his movement is slowed and visibility isn't good but slowly he tries to make progress in seeing what's further down the hall, all while checking the device when he's able to make it out. Finding this artifact comes before all else in this mission and he's intent on finding it no matter what.
Hmm.... burning would set off fire alarms.....
H-hey! *PK then stares in shock as Hazama plunges his knife into the person, turning towards them and getting ready to raise his voice before he runs off, taking a deep breath It's okay PK, you just have to save this person's life... Okay! You got it! *PK then picks up the body and starts to bolt the way the officer came, desperate to find help
*shrugs* Someone smart can deal with the body. *Follows down the right hall*
Or he could do that.....
*Whispers to Pika* Got any body bags?
Maybe we could go the other way and use him as a decoy?
Sam
This is going... well?
*Puts down body bag case*
*Kade's demon strikes several of the scientists, knocking them to the ground, though one unfortunate soul manages to get out of the room and ends up in front of Hazama and PK* *As for Phone guy, he reaches the phone and hits a single button before shouting* "We have a situ----" *That's as much as he gets out before being struck a full 7 times by Ganesha. A faint voice can be heard from the phone* "Hello? Hello? Is anyone there? Is something wrong?" *Kazuya is fortunately still able to hear the group in the main hallway, as he continues along the right wall. The bar on the device seems to be filling slowly as he moves forward* *After continued scanning Rom's device gets a full view of the building. Most of the heat signatures are from behind him in a large, round area that seems like a lobby. The rest are scattered throughout the building, seemingly randomly. However, there is a particularly large energy source coming from a floor beneath them, several hallways ahead* *Hazama finds an ID card for one "Kijimuta Kuto", it has the letters "L2" printed on it.* *The group running to the right sees a man in a labcoat run out in a panic, he glances at the three and starts to run in the opposite direction, shouting* "Oh no, there's more. I didn't ask for any of this" *As for their hallway, its again a plain grey, with two branching paths leading to the left, and a staircase with stairs going both up and down ahead of them*
*Whispers again* Whoa... *Points to and zooms into the energy source and looks at the group* There it is... I think. So, what do we do now? *Rom picks up a body bag from the case*
Sam
I almost feel sorry for them *Sam immediately begins taking the data from the companies servers*
Kazuya continues walking forward with his demon holding onto him. He watches the device as he moves, trying to go wherever it leads him while also trying to remain hidden within the wall.
*Takes body bag case and looks at the map* Heyy... That looks pretty nice to have in the cave...
[Hazama looks up from the ID card, right in the man's face. He smiles and flashes the card.] I don't suppose you'd believe me if I said I was Ms. Kuto? [He glances at the body PK is carrying, before looking back at the man. He snaps his eyes open, and launches forth the Ouroboros, aiming for it's lethal bite to clamp down right on his neck.] Yeah, didn't think so.
........ Who wants to elect the smart chain guy as the leader?
Hyuck! *PK then drops the body and turns around, struggling to breath as it hits his neck, speaking through gasps for air What... are... you... doing.... I'm... going to... save... this... person...
OOC: I may be back in a couple of hours. Shana Tova, guys.
OOC: In that case, I guess you'll act on autopilot as the main hall's navigator. Good luck Rom.
*Minato was crawling through the vents the whole time*
*A sudden swat squad bursts through the windows, then they all take cover behind some conveniently placed barrels and crates. Swat 1 yells;* HANDS UP! PUT YOUR FUCKING HANDS UP!
Sam
We are SO good at stealth, right guys?
*The swat team of four pop out of cover, aiming at the group.* PUT YOUR FUCKING HANDS UP BEFORE I BLAST YOUR HEAD OFF!
Ooc: hold on, rereading Hazama's thing I think hes aiming for the scientist and not PK, wouldn't put it past him though *PK then scurries to the left, carrying the dying body as he shouts out Anybody? I need some help here! Somebody is dying!
*The swat team keeps on yelling variations of 'PUT YOUR HANDS UP' , they proceed to close in towards the group.*
ooc: back from foodos ic: *Kade, satisfied with the result, clears his throat and picks up the phone. As he speaks, he lowers his voice to sound a bit older.* Sorry, the other guy dropped the phone. We had an intruder, but some of us managed to get them under control. We'll keep them here until proper help arrives. *He hangs up the phone and heads out into the hallway, looking both ways.*
Sam
*Sam sits down on the ground, still stealing data. He then begins feigning ignorance* I'm a scientist from here taken captive by these people. Just look at my lab coat. Save me, would you kindly.
OOC: For the record, the swat team isn't me, but I'll roll with it. I.... GM, I guess?: *Sam manages to get to a good amount of the company's business dealings. None of it seems to be interesting. The company appears to be a standard electronic sales provider. Though a several mentions of "Kirijo" can be found. However, they hear the swat team burst in through the left hallway, seems most of the stealth is over with now as an alarm blares upon the window shattering* *OVer the intercom a voice can be heard* "Everyone, please evacuate the building. There is a security breach on the second floor, please evacuate." *The poor scientist didn't stand a chance against Hazama's mighty chain. Meanwhile PK ducks into the nearest left hallway, and is greeted by several office workers running in the opposite direction. These men and women in suits certainly don't look.... Oh, a few guards are among the group. Seems they don't want to remain here either*
*Minato falls through one of the vents near the group, the he looks at the SWAT* Hello, fellow SWAT members...
*The swat team keeps on yelling 'Put your hands up' along with some variations of it, the swat team begins attempting to tackle and handcuff the group.*
*He shoots some of the members of the SWAT with his elemental M1911s and makes a run for it*
OOC: So sorry, seems I forgot about Kazuya. *Kazuya catches sight of the group in the right hallway as he runs upon an open doorway, seems he'll have to step outside of the wall for a moment. The room seems to be a break room, with several unconcious scientists. Kazuya watches Kade pass as Kade emerges into the same hallway as Hazama and Kotori, witnessing Hazama's murder of the fleeing scientist*
[The Ouroboros withdraws momentarily, but as soon as Hazama turns around to see more armed guards than he was ready for, it launches forward and propels him to the end of the hall as he uh...speedwalks deeper into the facility. He's still pretty relaxed, all things considered.] Great. Knew it was only a matter of time.
*PK continues to shout over the cops,guards and intercom, desperate to help this person DOES ANYBODY HERE KNOW FIRST AID? CAN YOU CALL AN AMBULANCE? PLEASE ANYBODY!
*One of the swat members go down, the Swats begin opening fire, attempting to disable the 'criminals'.*
*He pulls off his mask summoning Shiki-Ouji* Show them better firepower.... *Shiki-Ouji uses riot gun on the SWAT*
*Kotori follows Hazama, the bullets bouncing off her metal armor* Yeah, no.
*Oh also, null gun and physical attacks*
*Because Shiki-Ouji is bullshit*
Sam
So much for that idea. *Sam pops out of cover, summoning his bow and firing at one of the SWAT*
*The swat squad begins to retreat, throwing flashbangs dealing weak light damage.*
Not even ten minutes and someone's already dead. *Despite the murder in front of his eyes, Kade isn't fazed at all. The bullets are deflected due to Phys Repel, so it's now second verse, same as the first. He draws his katana.* Multi-Strike! *He dashes forward, aiming his blade to kill if possible. That lucky 7-hit combo won't happen here, but he'll get 3 to 5 hits depending on how agile his opponents are. Ganesha charges as well but gets hit, although the demon manages to swing its sword at a soldier.*
*Another swat goes down, they begin calling in backup, retreating to the exit.*
Well, back to the vents... *Minato jumps back into the vents continuing his crawl*
*Kade, with that problem over with, waves at the wounded Ganesha. The two Phantasma/teleport down towards where Hazama went.*
*A sudden megaphone turns on, saying;* THIS IS THE POLICE! WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED! COME OUT WITH YOUR FUCKING HANDS UP!
*Shiki-Ouji walks outside*
*Sam Minato and Kade seem to have defeated the swat team, though who knows how long until they end up getting backup. Regardless, they're doing well.* *Hazama soon reaches the end of the hallway and looks up and down the staircase. It seems suspiciously empty, considering the ongoing evacuation, but is otherwise unremarkable. Kotori soon comes up to Hazama, seeing the exact same staircase. Kade appears right behind the two, as though he had been waiting for this* *As for PK, none of the workers seem to pay him any attention as they scramble for the exit. However, there is a tall woman with long black hair and a security uniform who calmly walks by* "Why did it have to be now of all times? I hope 513 and 514 are fine."
Sam
Good to see those guys are fucking professional. Americans... *Sam shakes his head*
*Kade puts his hands behind his head.* Soooo.... Up or down? Your choice. *Ganesha looks down the hall at the sound of the law enforcement outside, but doesn't seem very worried, either.*
*PK then overhears the lady, running up to them with the body Hello! Do you perhaps know this person? They need help! Fast! I'm trying my best but I have no idea what to do! Please help me!
*arrives on a not stolen motorcycle* Could this place raise anymore red flags?
Well, back where I come from, the NOL's darkest secrets were deep underground. Makes them harder to get to, y'know. [Hazama strides down the stares, still smiling of course.]
Good point, snake man. *Kade nods, and he and the demon follow. He hums a little as he walks.*
*The police force decides to just flee, and assault some other suspicious house, or just do some other stuff.*
I'm following the smart guy.... *skips down the steps*
*Hazama's trio (of him, Kade, and Kotori) continues down the stairs, glancing into the hallway they see a panic in the main building as workers and visitors escape, though the crowd seems to be thinning a little. At the end of the staircase is a locked metal door with a place to swipe cards on the side.* *As for PK, upon approaching the woman, he notices a few joints, the gleam of chrome, and other non-human features. The woman sighs and shakes her head* "Just follow the others outside. There's probably an ambulance there. There's something I need to do before leaving myself."
Sam
*Sam finishes stealing all of the data he could get his hands on before taking his bow and hoping down to ground level. He immediately recoils, keeping himself up on his cane* That... actually hurt. Should have taken the stairs. Ow my legs. Bugger.
Cards, eh? Hold on, gotta get something. *Ganesha teleports him back upstairs, and the two head to the room they were previously in to frisk the unconscious scientists for key cards.*
*looks around inside and sees Sam* Stop right there! *holding a crossbow in one hand and touching her mask in the other*
Okay! Thank you! But if your deciding to attack the intruders I don't think you'll survive! I'll be honest! Your better off running away! But I won't stop you! Pancake speed! *PK then gives a smile before chasing the other people out of the building, hoping to find an ambulance
Sam
Dear, that's a nice crossbow *Sam pulls his own crossbow out of his lab coat's inside pocket and points it at Gypsy* Mine's nicer though.
*Kotori watches the stairs, making sure they aren't attacked from behind*
*glares and puts crossbow away* What is this place! Who the hell are you? Are you in charge here? Tell me or suffer! *taps one of fingers on her mask*
[Hazama holds up the ID card he obtained earlier, and tries to swipe it.] Alright Ms. Kuto, let's see just how important you were...
Sam
No clue, Sam and No, I'm not. Also, is tapping your mask supposed to be threatening? Try harder next time. *Sam puts his crossbow away*
*Shiki-Ouji appears in front of Gypsy*
If you're not in charge here, why are you here?
*The young woman sighs and walks off as PK follows the crowd outside. He gets some weird looks from the officers, but seeing as he's carrying someone wounded they decide not to question him, instead bringing the body PK was holding to a nearby emergency vehicle* "Thank you kid... You're a hero." *Kade searches the scientists and finds each of them have an ID card, alongside their various names is a set of letters "L1"* *A few panicked office workers start down the staircase, and immediately turn around as they catch sight of Hazama and Kotori.* *Finally, a lock in the door clicks and the door slides into the wall, revealing a small, whitewashed room that leads to another downward moving staircase*
Sam
I... may have forgotten that *Sam rubs the back of his neck, slightly embarrassed*
Yoink! *Kade grabs one of the ID cards and returns downstairs... only to find the door open.* ...Well, that was a waste. *He shrugs. He and the demon go down the newly-accessible staircase.*
[He twirls the keycard by the attached string, and laughs as he walks down the stairs.] Welp, at least you managed one good thing in life. Come on folks, we don't have all day.
*Continues down the stairway*
*raises mask to the top of her head* Are you serious?! Who walks into a random warehouse for no reason? And Minato, I know you're here you don't need the living shield here.
Hehe! *PK then gives a warm smile and scratches the back of his head, No need to thank me! I'm just doing my job to make this world a little better for everyone! Just make sure the person lives! Otherwise my efforts will have been wasted! *PK then takes one look at the building, starring at it for a second Did everyone make it out okay? I could try to rescue some more people!
Sam
*Sam shrugs* I took this places data from this place for myself. That's al I care about. I'll let Hazama deal with everything else. See you. *Sam walks out of the front door*
Get back here, you coward!
Sam
Catch me if you want me. I'm just walking away if not. Ta ta. *Sam continues walking out of the front door*
*runs after him and pulls her mask back down*
*Hazama, Kade, and Kotori walk down the staircase into a set of the whitewashed halls are nothing to look at It extends straight for a period of time with a few hallways branching off to the left. There are three doors along each wall, and a pair of female voices can be heard coming from the end of the hall* *The younger voice* "Are you sure I can't go out to meet them? I've been stuck down here forever." *An older voice responds* "You're down here for your own good. You can't just go around breaking things, we're here for a reason, remember?" *The officers look at PK and shake their head* Sorry kid, I don't know if anyone's left in there, but you shouldn't risk your life like that. I'd suggest leaving with everyone else until the authorities can handle it.
Sam
*Sam spins around and keeps Gypsy at arms length by stopping her with his cane* Predictable. What do you want?
Any plans?
Wonder who that is? Ganesha, take a look somewhere. *As Kade heads forward, Ganesha teleports into one of the three rooms at random.*
The data. I want to see it. *reaches hand out and puts other hand on her mask*
*Wakes up*
OOC: Back, just need to catch up
[Hazama leans against the wall, making himself scarce. He replies to Kotori in a low whisper.] Let's see what they're up to first, no point causing even more of a scene.
Alrighty then! Don't be afraid to call on me to help though! I'm not your average person! I've got a few tricks up my sleeve! *PK then begins to look over the people who have evacuated, Pancake and Syrup trailing behind, acting as emotional and mental help while they serve pancakes and syrup respectively, PK attempts to heal any wounds he heals with a bit of magic as well.
OOC: Yay, we can be lost and need to catch up together!
Sam
A) It's not in a physical source I can give you. B) It's just mostly business garbage. I can still use it for... certain things C) My allies are downstairs. Bug them instead. Unless you're looking for a fight, that is.
Then at least tell if it has anything to do Wakaba Ishiki, her research of the cognitive world or palace's.
*Still crawling through the vents*
Sam
No. It didn't. Now, can I leave now?
Nn. *Kotori quiets herself and mimics Haz's actions*
Fine. I gotta found my.... I wouldn't call him a friend more like a parole officer. *goes back into the warehouse* MINATO!
OOC: Sorry Rom and Pika... It was kinda a mess for a while, but I can let you hurry up and catch up to Hazama, Kotori and Kade, so they have someone who can actually find the thing. Or you could "nope" out with PK, Sam, and Gypsy. IC: *The random citizens appreciate PK's help and thank him occasionally. He's such a swell guy.* *As for Kade, Ganesha teleports into the room furthest down the hallway. It seems to be a robotics lab, there are a few design notes leftover, and many electronic tools and wires, but nothing out of the ordinary* *Hazama and Kotori hang back, and Kade goes closer to the voices* Y:"Yeah yeah, I know. We're here as security. But the one time something happens I'm expected to just stand here and wait?" O:"If you know so well, I shouldn't have to remind you. Grow up a little, will you? I wish there was something we could do to help, but the shard is our priority."
Huh? *He hits his head on the top of the vent* Aw, shit!
Hmmm... *Rom has been looking over the maps, as he looks over at the carnage that just happened before his eyes* So... What now?
Found him! Are you going to come out or is Yaksini going to have to break the vents?
Sam
*Sam leaves, mumbling to himself* Wakaba Ishiki, eh? Sounds like someone I should look into.
Meh. Want a whiskey? *Pulls out 2 whiskeys*
OOC: Late posts IC: *Catches up to Hazama, Kotori and Kade, still looking at the hologram as if it were part of a HUD*
Is the mission over?
Depends on what you were planning on doing. Also how did you get into the vents!?
I have no idea... *He's still crawling in the vents* I'm just trying to do the mission....
*Whispers to Rom* What way is the target?
*Ganesha grabs a few of the notes with a huff, then teleports into one of the other rooms.* *Meanwhile, Kade keeps moving, trying to see where the guards are without being seen himself*
[Hazama smirks, seems he's found his goal. Considering that the place has evacuated by now, he isn't very worried about the potential of an alarm tripping. He steps out from his corner, and bows to the two guards.] Well, what do you know? The shard is actually my top priority as well! Maybe we could be friends, huh? It's nice to meet you by the way, the name's, uh... [Hazama would glance at the keycard, before sliding it across the ground toward the pair. The leftover blood from it's former owner skids along the previously pure white floor.] Kijikuta Kuto. Pleasure to meet ya.
I'm going to try find this Hazama guy, going to be pissed if this lead was a wild goose chase. *heads to basement staircase*
*Rom looks at the map hologram and scrolls to the large energy source. He points at it, and whispers to Kotori* If I had to guess, maybe that big energy reading over there... *Still has the earpiece from other missions he went on and speaks through it* Hey, Yuki? What's your status?
*Kotori stays hidden, in case she needs to sneak attack*
*PK then smiles at his hard work, before rubbing his chin in thought, something that he isn't very good at Hmm! Hopefully everyone got out okay! Maybe I should make one last round! *PK then, disregarding the warning he got earlier, reenters the building, looking around and shouting HELLO! IS ANYONE STILL HERE?!? IT'S NOT SAFE!
Good idea... *Hides as well, gripping his mask*
*Looks at Rom's map* Hey, ima follow that girl, just because I'm bored. *Follows Kotori*
*Minato speaks through the earpiece* What do you think? I've been crawling through the vents for hours Rom...
*Speaks through the earpiece* Sorry... guess I haven't noticed...
Well I did find a rat, but it ran away from me...
Let's hope that's not me. *Drinks whiskey while staying hidden in a cardboard box*
*sees metal door* Yaksini! *Yaksini destroys the door with her swords and disappears* So far so good. Minato, heading to the basement I don't know if I'll be able to communicate with you.
*The next room Ganesha enters is another break room, though this one seems to have been empty for a while. There's nothing of note, just a few pictures of three girls, one tall with black hair, one average-height with Red hair, and another shorter, blonde one. Upon closer inspection you can see a few unusual features, such as a flash of chrome and several joints* *Rom's display map shows the energy source being kept in a nearby room, just at the end of the hallway, take a left, and it'll be the fourth door on the right* *Kade catches sight of two girls, one of average-height with red hair, and a younger, blonde one arguing in a hallway. The hallway goes on for a long time, with 5 doors on each wall, and three evenly spaced side-passages on each side. Then Hazama steps in to introduce himself, causing the pair to turn all their attention on him* RH: Kijikuta Kuto? I've not seen you around before BH: Miss Kuto's my babysitter remember? She's super lame, always telling me not to do stuff.... But either way *gestures to Hazama* That's definitely not her RH: Then that means..... *The Red-haired girl clenches her fist and before aiming one hand at him* I hope you're happy 14, this is one of the intruders. If he's after the shard..... *The BH girl smiles and looks over to Hazama* BH: I finally get to have my fun. Lets do this then.
Hmm... It's closer than we thought... *Motions to the others, pointing at the end of the hallway and whispers* Should we...? *He's still gripping his mask tightly*
*Is still in cardboard box and talks through radio* Yeah, we should.
Why not make this a two-on-two? *Kade steps into view, walking up to Hazama's side. Ganesha appears beside him, holding both the pictures and the notes.* You're here too, Ganesha? You stay back. We've got this. *He snaps his fingers at the girls.* Fire Dance! *Multiple jets of flame, about 2 to 5, are sent out from his hand, hitting the guards at random.*
*PK hears the shouting and runs down towards the sounds, tripping on the stairs and rolling his way to the party's current location, rubbing his head and shouting out in pain OW! OW! DARN! ACK! THAT! SMARTS! *PK then gets up dazed and stumbles around speaking in a disoriented voice H-ehy u guys! It it aint saf here!
*Still hidden*
[The flames billow in front of Hazama, and he holds his hat in place, not wanting it to fall off during his fit of laughter.] HAHAHA! Oh that's right! I'm not Kuto, I'm the one who stabbed her! If my luck keeps up, she's dead! Sorry, my memory is fuzzy.
*sees PK* 1. That mask is a safety hazard, 2. Are you okay, and 3. Keep your voice down!
*starts to stealthily walk to the end of the hallway, back facing a wall*
*Follows behind Rom closely, in cardboard box obviously*
*Kade gets lucky and launches out 5 jets of flame at the girl. The one with Red-hair steps in front of the Blonde and shouts* RH: Stay behind me 14. Zaou Gongen. *The girl's persona bursts into life and fans its tail towards the oncoming flame, directing them all backwards at Kade* 14: Come on, at least give me a chance RH: Then fight, just let me protect you, while you stay in the back, alright? I'm sure 12 will be here soon. *"14" sighs and steps out to the side of their ally, raising their arm towards Hazama, and firing a flurry of bullets at him* 14: That's what you get for messing with miss Kuto. Only I get to do that. RH: Can you focus for one minute? *This is also the scene that greets Rom and Pika as they reach the end of the hallway.*
*Looks at the battle* Woah... *Activates tank mode on cardboard box*
Ow, ow, that burns... *Kade pats out the flames on his shirt.* And Persona-users too? Eh, I hear the others nearby, so I guess I'm not needed. Off we go~ *He and Ganesha teleport away* ooc: and I must sleep
*Kotori Jumps out of her hiding place, her blade infused with lightning as she quickly cross slashes 14* Tch! Robots don't bleed! Waste of my time!
*Puts in a tank round and aims at 14*
Yup, I knew it... *Rom tears off his mask, coating his allies in a green aura, making them faster*
*P+S then hit PK in the face in order to wake him up from his daze as he rushes to the end of the corridor, hearing the sound of fighting Hey! What's going on! I'm not letting anyone else die on my watch!
Go Yaksini! *runs in and rips off mask then Yaksini slices at 14*
[The green chain of the Ouroboros rises, blocking some of the bullets, sending some in random directions around the hall.] Oh? Did I piss you off? Then, why don't I reunite the two of you! [He extends one arm, and the hooked chain launches from it straight toward "14".]
*Devin the Werehog appears* Devin the Werehog: My nama Devin, you're too slow.
OOC: :ohno:
Ooc: It's from this video.
*The pair are caught off-guard by Kotori's sudden appearance, leaving 14 with quite a harsh gash, she seems stunned, but quickly gets up* RH: Zaou, don't let them harm my sister. God's Hand *The Red-haired girl's persona 's fist slams into the tank round, knocking it through a nearby wall, Zaou-Gongen then turns to intercept Yaksini's slash, grabbing the persona by the arm* RH: Where do you think you're going? *However, at this point Red-hair is occupied, allowing Hazama's chain to hook into and cut 14* 14: I.... This isn't fun at all... Why are you so mean? *a few gears shift and click before 14 announces* 14: Safety restrictions offline. Engaging Orgia Mode. Lucifer, concentrate *The fallen angel soon appears in the air behind the child, as though forming out of the aether, he focuses, and clasps his arms in front of him* RH: 14, no, these are still people, not shadows, they should be brought to prison, no.... 14: Lucifer, Morning Star. *A ball of energy forms in the air where Lucifer's hands meet as he pulls them apart. the ball expands, and splits into 6, large orbs of energy, one chasing after Hazama, another for Gypsy, a third for Kotori, a fourth for Rom, a fifth for Pika, and one more headed for PK as he rounds the corner* *On the far end of the hallway past the two, a third, much taller woman with black hair comes out of a doorway, and catches sight of the group, she calmly walks towards them. PK may recognize her, though the distance makes it hard*
*Points to Devin the Werehog* You're kidding me... Ah, whatever... Anansi! *Rom tears off his mask again, the pages of his persona's tomebook flipping rapidly as he focuses his energy*
Ooc: My deadass phone is about to die
*he enters in* How are you guys?
*Shoots at the orb*
OOC: Late post IC: Oh, jeez! *Rom blocks his side with a big block of ice, hoping it could at least hold it off*
*Devin disappears and Orpheus is summoned*
Why the hell do you have that persona?
*The stars in the sky form a pentagram*
[Hazama releases the chain, letting 14 go and jumps backwards, behind his "allies."] Yeah, nope. You guys don't mind taking one for the team, do you?
*Talking on his earpiece* I have no idea...
*draws katana and tries to deflect attack* Robots using personas? Oh no!
Hold on! I'm trying to hel-GAH! *PK then gets blasted back from the strike, breathing deeply as he takes a second to think things through, before getting back up, and drawing his laser sword with one hand, as Waffles gets fused with the other, he stands there, with a choice I won't let you hurt these people... you aren't going to hurt anybody else! *PK then jumps towards 14, turning around to the party as Waffles passes PK a spear Maziodyne! Shock them! *PK then throws the spear at the party, striking the area around them with electricity You aren't going to kill anyone! I'll make sure of it! It's my duty to uphold justice!
Gaarr! Stupid Machine! *Kotori, being so close to 14 is hit immediately hit by the orb, her Armor dents as it takes most of the blow but she stands her ground, spinning her body and striking 14 in the back with her lightning coated blade* I'd tell you to die, but you would have to be living to do that!
*Jumps out of cardboard box with dual Uzis and sprays down 14*
*A red laser passes through each star and then stops in the middle of the pentagram*
OOC: whoops, misread PK's attack, Gaarr! Stupid Machine! *Kotori, being so close to 14 is hit immediately hit by the orb, her Armor dents as it takes most of the blow but she stands her ground, spinning her body and striking 14 in the back with her lightning coated blade the shock runs up Kotori's Armor and into her blade, making the electricity on it stronger* I'd tell you to die, but you would have to be living to do that!
*Rom uses part of the ice block to shield his head from the electricty, but it breaks after a couple of seconds, 1 bolt hits him and is knocked down, and manages to strike his own lance to the ground and covers himself in light*
*PIka's tank shell reaches the orb and evaporates under the immense energy. Turns out Concentrate + Morning Star is pretty strong, soon the orb reaches Pika and bursts into a colossal amount of almighty energy. Similarly, The orb strikes Rom's barrier of ice and bursts, evaporating the ice and dealing significant damage to Rom himself. AS soon as Gypsy slashes the orb, it explodes, leaving her to feel the full force of the attack* 14: Lucifer, Concentrate 14: Lucifer... *14 is interrupted in her second action by Kotori's strike, she stumbles to the ground, before getting back up and shouting* 14:Lucifer. Morn.... *14 collapses and steam rises from a vent near her head* 14: Orgia mode, offline. Commencing cool down. *Meanwhile, the red-haired girl bows to PK* RH: I don't know who you are, but thank you. These intruders are after something important to us... *The red-haired girl looks over as Kotori strikes her ally* RH: You're not getting away with this. Initiating Orgia Mode.... Orgia mode online. Zaou-Gongen, Blazing Hell. *Her persona appears and summons forth massive jets of fire, that launch themselves at Pika, Gypsy, Kotori, Minato, and Rom* RH: Zaou-Gongen, God Hand. *The persona immediately runs into their jet aimed at Kotori, using it to coat their fist in fire as it attempts to smash her* *Some people have accounted for PK's action, but if you haven't please do so now*
*gets blasted into a wall due to the shock of electricity and the orb*
*Multiple red lasers are sent at the enemies*
*Manages to hold on inside cardboard box before abandoning it and setting it on self destruct* Woah! *Runs away from the orb*
OhcrapOhcrapOhcrapOhcrapOhcrapOhcrapOhcrap! Anansi, security measures! *Rom slams his lance again, coating himself with more light, his blue psychokinesis, and adds some bits of armor made of ice to himself, while getting up and managing to guard*
(psychokinesis aura*)
*Kotori quickly changes stances, infusing her blade with ice and cross slashes the fist, the second slash coming out almost Instantaneously after the first* *Whether this works is up to the GM*
[Hazama is sent spinning into the air from the lightning, the end of his coat singed.] Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! [He then lands on the ground with one hand, using his other to hold his hat in place. He flips himself onto his feet, and looks at PK and the others.] Gah, that stung kid. Alright then, no more games! Come on over, let's play! [Hazama throws one hand up in the air, and a green circle of magic appears below the incapacitated 14, if the binding spell is uninterrupted then Hazama would throw a chain toward the android and yank her toward him.]
I wouldn't be Pancake Knight if I let these murderers do what they wanted to innocent people! Just let me know if you need protection! Im adept at support! *PK takes a few laser hits before jumping away, Waflles standing guard behind him Not so fast! Waffles Tetrakarn! *PK then concentrates as Waffles sends a pale barrier covering 14, hopefully blocking any strike Hazama would pull against 14
*14, unable to move is struck by the lasers. Her chassis is badly damaged, but she doesn't seem to be responding* 14: cooling down. *This results in 14 doing nothing as she is caught in Hazama's circle. I'm not familiar with Blazblue, but I'm pretty sure that's gonna hurt, though the physical barrier around her might cause Hazama to rethink things* *Zaou-Gongen's fist meets Kotori's blade for a moment, it seems as though the fist will win, until Red-hair , attempting to dodge all of Minato's lasers, is caught by one of them... Much to Kotori's favor, Zaou-Gongen falters and is knocked back, vanishing before it hits its user* RH: Continuing Orgia mode. One-shot kill. *The Red-haired android levels her arm at Minato, launching an enormous shot at him.* RH: Zaou-Gongen. Abysmal Surge. *A well of pure terror emanates from Zaou-Gongen and washes over everyone in the area, PK inclded, in an attempt to inflict despair*
Ooc: I'm still in the vents...
OOC: IN that case, let me add something RH: Biological signature detected. INtruder likely. Eliminate with impunity. ONe-shot Kill *The red-haired android turns to a spot in the ceiling, pointing her arm at the vent Yuki is in, and firing. Breaking a hole through the ceiling and blasting into the vent*
*By now, Kotori is so focused on fighting that the fear doesn't even register to her, the her sword still infused, she rushes 14, stopping just short and swinging her blade, releasing the magic in 14's direction, point blank as lightning and ice strike her, the weapon itself just barely missing* Fear check: 92
*The shot hits the vent breaking it, and Minato falls to the ground* Oh crrraaapp!!
*Pulls out dual uzis and starts gunning down 14, while running at it*
No... *Minato gets up and starts climbing the wall with his sword, so that he can get back into the vent*
What the...?! N-No... *The wave of fear hits Rom, and he freezes up. He tugs onto his persona's trench coat, his image slightly fizzling. Anansi, right behind him then holds his tomebook to where Rom is, and tries to cancel out the fear with warm memories, breathing deeply, hoping for the best. His security measures are still intact.*
*tries to get up using sword for leverage* I refuse to lose to a weaponized can opener! Yaksini! Swift Strike! *Yaksini attacked Zaou-gongen*
*Minato switches to Shiki-Ouji while climbing*
You're a goner man! Eternal Coils of the Dragon Serpent! [A green, runic-looking circle appears around Hazama, sapping the life force of friend and foe alike that would enter it. He yanks the android close, slashing at her sporadically and spinning in place like a maniac, he then kicks her into the air, as another green bind holds her in place for a moment, the effects of the circle eating away at her.] Feels goooooood, don't it?! [He laughs as he leaps into the air, his hat coming off mid-jump, and sends her flying back toward her allies with a magically-charged kick. He then summons a replacement hat for the one that came off, and places it back on his head, chuckling to himself.]
*PK seems too preoccupied to realize the strike coming for him, taking the full brunt of it, fortunately not getting hit with despair, however, he is starting to feel the effects of battle H-hey! Watch where you strike! *PK then strikes himself with a bolt of electricity as his laser sword grows an astronomical size, then slashing with the extending sword at the party
*goes over to Rom and smacked him* Snap out of it!
*14 is blasted by the energy, the ice enters some of the holes in her chassis, causing her to freeze up. Meanwhile, Pika's bullets approach her just in time to be deflected* 14: Cooldown complete. Retu---- *14 is dragged into Hazama, and slashed brutally, Hazama knocks her into the air and she ceases responding. Finally, Hazama's kick sends her flying into red-haired, with a significant dent in her chest* *Zaou-Gongen vanishes, leaving Gypsy to attack empty air as Red-hair freezes up* RH: Overheated.... Cooling down.... *Red-hair is struck by her allies flying body and remains beneath it, steaming* *PK seems to be the only capable combatant right now*
Ina
Ooc: yo I know it's pretty late into this but can I join?
OOC: TO clarify, PK is the only capable opposing combatant. Rom's the only one in particularly bad shape on your side.
Actually... *Minato gets his sword out of the wall, does a backflip in the air, and pierces the two robots with his sword*
*Kotori stares in amazement at the brutality of Hazama's attack, then infuses wind into her blade, cross Slashing RH* I gotta step it up!
OOC: Also, there's pretty much nothing left at this point Ina, just a bit of closing exposition. Well, unless PK successfully protects RH for two rounds instead of letting the fight go. Then she'd be able to get back up I guess
*Anansi's scepter blocks Gypsy's hand* I-I get the message... Just trying to not go astray... *Rom gets back up looking visibly tired, the pages of Anansi's tomebook rapidly flipping again as Rom summons another big block of ice, surrounded by his psi aura, and kicks it towards PK as an attempt to block the sword, and to get a hit in. He pants heavily and has a concerned look on his face* A-Are you sure you're thinking straight?
OOC: late... post? I dunno
Ina
Ooc: k
[Hazama shrugs, walking past the bunch and smiles at PK as he tries to continue onward.] Why don't you run on home, huh? I won't blame you.~
Rom, take a break. You're sweating waterfalls, heal up then get back in. You can't fight if you're dead.
Y-You may be right... I'm really sorry, but I should go back and rest... *Rom retreats* OOC: I actually have to go. Night guys.
OOC: Bai Rom!
I'll... I'll never leave my ideas in the dust! If im going down your coming with me! Time for this! *PK then takes out a blue book, floating in front of him with the face of an arcana card on the front, as he opens up a blue rift crackling with energy, as he dives at Hazama, throwing both of them into it This will end it! I won't let you kill anybody! Velvet Strike! *Then PK begins to flip through pages of the book, blue energy striking Hazama from all directions as chains tie him down, PK fusing together a sword as the light hits him, made of what seems to be pure light, striking Hazama once with it as the chains burst, throwing the both of them out of the strange dimension, hopefully incapacitating Hazama, however, PK is exhausted from the strike and is completely vulnerable
OOC: Later Rom, just waiting on PK now
OOC: OR that, give me one moment IC: *Neither RH or 14 seem to respond as they are struck. Though a card is knocked loose from RH as Kotori strikes, it goes flying into the air and lands near the wall. The light fades from RH's eyes and it stops steaming* *Meanwhile PK is still kinda up..... Do what you will with that*
(night night Room)
*Rom, fucking auto correct!
*Minato then keeps violently piecing them with his sword*
*Grabs the keycard and pockets it* Well, we're stuck here now....
[Hazama goes flying backward, slamming harshly into a wall and denting it rather badly. He coughs up a dangerous amount of blood, and struggles to even balance on one knee. Even despite this, he still seems to be smiling, hell even laughing a bit.] Haha..ha..Ouro...boros! [he extends his hand forward, but all he succeeds in doing is coughing up more blood. Hazama begins laughing again, but at what is anyone's guess.] C-can someone...stab him please? A...and while you're at...i-it, come over here so i c-can drink you.
Minato, do you have him(Thanatos)? *keeps summoning Yaksini to attack*
*He stops piercing them and looks at Gypsy* Yes... *He goes back to piercing the robots*
And that's for destroying the vents... assholes. *He takes the sword out of the robots and climbs up the walls again with his sword*
Summon him if things get out of hand! *slashing robots with damaged katana*
*Minato and Gypsy need to calm down and stop beating a dead horse. The androids aren't going to be moving again. There's really no need for that.* *Since Rom knows where to go, I'll commandeer him for the rest of this thread. Trust he wouldn't mind*
*Kotori infuses her blade with fire*
Should someone heal Hazama?
*Minato pulls off his mask summoning Pixie, Pixie then casts Salvation on Hazama*
Anyone else need healing or first aid?
*Soon a black-haired woman emerges from the far-end of the hallway. She strides towards the group and kneels near the broken bodies of RH and 14* BH: This.... Is tragic... Don't worry, they'll be able to fix you up, good as new. I promise that. *The Black-haired woman looks up at PK, standing against the other intruders and smiles* BH: Come now, get over near me. I won't let any harm befall you, but it seems like we need to go. Our lives are more important.
I'm fine...
*Minato throws a random grenade at RH and escapes through the vents* No!
Eh? I can.. still fight... *PK then collapses onto the floor, barely able to move as Pancake and Syrup take the logical route and picks up PK, moving him towards the lady from before
