Killer GYM!
A young girl wanders through the doors, she looks around curiously at the seemingly empty building.
"Oh, nobody here for now huh? Well I guess I'll just work on something myself."
Homura shrugs and walks up to a training dummy, light flashing around her as a black dress and white/blue overcoat form in place of her clothing. A small gray shield rests on her right wrist as well. And finally, a wooden Shinai forms in the girl's hands. A purple glow forming around the blade as she drops into a fighting stance. She'd look over her target a moment before starting to slam her blade into it at an inhuman speed, only stopping to glance at the door now and then.
(Kicks the door open, with his 7'1 claymore dragging behind him) ayyyyy

A grenade blows up the front door to the GYM but nothing else
Shit, I destroyed another door!
Kotori walks in, seeing Homura training
Ah. Hi Homura-chan!
*Haruko isn't that far behind, honestly. She looks a sizable bit downtrodden, barely even noticing there's activity as she looks at the targets. Clutching of all pathetic weapons, just a bat, in her hand.*
I need to find a way to get stronger... that's the long and skinny of it.
(He towers over everyone being 7'3) so...train on a human or dummyr?...
A loud train horn blares once more, the sound of metal screeching as it grinds together can be heard outside the building. It shakes the very foundation of GYM. A strange looking thing walks through the door, looking around as though searching for someone.
"A-Ah hello... Don't mind me! I-I'm just looking for someone!"
The thing waves its arms like a panicked mother.
"Sorry for the noise...'
Take seems to walk in with little care in her step, her hands resting behind her head leisurely as she wears a light smile.
"Homura-chan? Hey, you were the nice one from that weird dojo! Small world, huh?"
Homura stops for a moment to glance over at Kotori, she'd smile and wave at the girl before going back to her work as she speaks.
"Hey, Kotori-chan! Did you come here to practice too or something? Hmm..."
She then hears... Whatever the heck Deneb is.
"And um sure thing, if I see who you're looking for I'd be glad to let you know! And I'm Homura Akemi!"
She smiles at the odd thing before both hearing Takeno, and spotting Haruko wandering around the place.
"Yeah! Takeno-chan right? Well, it's nice seeing you again. But what brings you here?"
She'd tilt her head in confusion for a moment before finally saying something to Haruko... And what the heck is with that bat? Geez, is she Sayaka or something?
"And hello Haruko-chan... Um, were you planning on using that bat in a fight or something? It's really not a good idea if you were, I could give you something if you wanted?"
I came looking for a fight.
Term says that if I don't win soon, I'm gonna be alone.
So I gotta whoop someone hard.......
Well... it's all I have, so yeah? There's no weapon store around here, is there...?
"W-Well if we're being informal it's actually Yoshiko. Though that's the more popular name it seems, so it's not too important really!"
She rubs the back of her neck and chuckles awkwardly, narrowing her red-ish eyes timidly.
(He walks to a dummy, and slams the giant sword into the dummy, kind of clumsy, but, cuts The dummy straight in half) wow, that's new
Homura laughs, no weapons shop? Does Haruko think that she just gets her weapons from nowhere or something?
"Of course there is! Em-san and Tatsuya-san both have weapon stores. Geez Haruko-chan, did you think I'm getting these guns outta nowhere or something? Heh, you should go see one of them sometime!"
She'd then turn to Kotori and frown... She could just let the girl win, but that'd likely not help anyways... She glances between both Takeno and Kotori, perhaps?
"Um, were you here to fight too Yoshiko-chan? I'm... Well, I don't mean to sound mean, but I'm a good bit more powerful than Kotori-chan is really. Um, if you're not too strong maybe I could fight both of you? I should get used to things like that anyways."
In spite of Homura sounding more than a bit shy, she does indeed look confident... Granted she's not sure she'll win, but she's pretty sure it won't be too easy. Takeno doesn't quite seem the highly deadly type or anything.
(Then, he slices the giant sword sideways, and cuts another dummy in half) whoooo,I'm on a roll!
(edited by Reperzel)
*Urumi just sits down somewhere and watches everyone*
Deneb looks around his hands covering his... mouth? in worry. He bows deeply.
"T-T-Thanks for your help!"
He stops his bow, and then immediately bows again.
"Thank you!"
He stops bowing, and this time he reaches into his cloak. He pulls out several small pieces of candy and a lollipop. He walks over to Homura and places them in her hand.
"Here, Deneb Candy! F-For your troubles."
Hmm.......
Kotori draws her hammer
At this point, I can't really say no.......
She gets into a battle stance
"A tag team? Sounds a bit unfair, but what do I know? Hell yeah I'd be up for a fight!"
She punched her knuckles together, a confident smirk on her face.
Actually.... yes, I did think you were getting them out of nowhere.....
Er... I guess I'll have to see them if--- wait, Tatsu owns a weapon's shop? I saw him last night! Though he's kinda... murderous...
Ay..2v1?, it could be 2v2 if I could join?
The girl grins at Deneb, no need to turn down free sweets after all! They'd vanish into her shield as she walks towards Takeno and Kotori.
"Thank you... Deneb-san then? Well, either way, you may wish to stand back. Now then, since there's two of you... I'll go first of course."
Homura smirks at the two girls across from her, rather than calling up her guns a black card form in front of her face as the girl slams her Shinai down into it.
"COME OUT, HOMULILLY!"
Black fire burns around the girl before taking the shape of a tall woman wearing an outfit akin to Homura's own. Her face, however, is covered by a thick layer of darkness, save for a crown of pink flowers on the top. Her chest, holds a broken clock in the center of it, A slight ticking sound ringing out regardless. And finally, a curved guillotine blade on the end of a rod rests in her hands.
"Let's do this one together for a change, my other self."
Persona and summoner rush forward, Homura herself moving towards Kotori and aiming to quickly stab the Shinai into the smaller girl's chest, she'd then follow up by raising her blade and trying to bring it down into Kotori's left shoulder. Homulilly however, darts down the middle of the field and forms a large pair of hands and arms upon her back from an inky black darkness. The hands would then rush off her back and aim to slam into Takeno, one would simply fly toward her front, the other aiming to reach around and strike the left part of the girl's back, of course. That makes it a bit slower and easier to dodge as well.
Take holds her arms in a guard, her Persona appearing to take the hit of the massive hands up front, not quite able to react to the left hands smacking her back however, causing her to fall over for a second. Her Persona was not quite as patient, slashing its massive arms at Homura, having a massive wind-up but the impact would likely be strong enough to back it up.

Deneb falls backward, landing on his rear in a not so stylish manner.
"Imagin!? I thought we were done with this! W-wait a minute.... no sand? I-Is this just something e-else entirely? They don't s-seem to be in some kind of contract..."
Deneb frantically holds the sides of his head.
"I sh-should stay to confirm this! Yuuto would get angry if I didn't..."
Alright then.....
As soon as Homura summons Homulily, Kotori infuses herself with earth, tanking the stab without even flinching as she swings the hammer at Homura's head, the hammer should land at the same time her Homura's second strike does
*Urumi takes out a book and begins to read it just to pass the time*
Wowie.....that's.....amazing....if only I cou- YA KNOW WHAT, IMMA JOIN THIS FIGHT (spins his giant sword around, and spins around like a tornado, and hits all sorts of things)
(edited by Reperzel)
Deneb charges Rep into a tackle, somewhat panicked.
"P-Please don't ruin this place! Don't get in their way or you might get hurt!"
After another long day Sayaka would walk by the GYM on her usual routine as she heads back home. She can't help but hear the sounds of some kinda action going on, so she carefully peeks around the corner of the GYM door, only to see Homura, Kotori, and some other girl going at it like nobody's business. Careful to avoid the commotion, the young, blue-haired schoolgirl steps around the arena, closer to the punching bags
(Its pretty difficult trying to tackle him, hes spinning around way to fast to touch him,
(edited by Reperzel)
*Haruko, who was watching the fight, would in fact notice Sayaka by the punching bag.*
Sayaka-chan? What are you doing hiding like that?
Deneb's seen worse. Difficulty or not, letting somebody get hurt on his watch was a no go.
"T-There!"
Deneb finally wrestles Rep to the ground.
"P-Please don't struggle! I don't want to hurt anyone!"
AY, MATE, FUCK OFF, (he bonks Den with the handle of the claymore, which will leave a mark)
(He jumps up, towering den sense he's 7'3l
*Urumi gets up, putting away her book and begins to punch the punching bag*
*Urumi begins to think while punching "Why do I feel like everyone is just ignoring me, maybe im not important. They have their lives and I have mine... maybe once I die no one will notice or care"*
Deneb's head bounces almost slapstick, but he keeps his grip. Not like he hasn't done this over fifty times and counting.
"D-Don't make me have to use force! P-Please just calm down, I'm s-sure we can talk this out!"
Overhearing Haruko, Sayaka would make her way across the room to the other girl's location, she watches the fight taking place in the middle, one eyebrow raised, before turning back to Haruko and pointing over her shoulder at it
I wasn't tryin' to hide or anything, just didn't want to get in the middle of that mess if I don't know what's goin' on. I mean, that doesn't look like training much to me, but then again, not like I've ever actually had anyone to practice against. I've mostly been on my own since starting this "Magical Girl" stuff. I dunno if there's actually somethin going on or if its just for fun. So I figured the safest bet was to stay away from it
(edited by Sayaka_Miki)
WELL, YOU CAN DUMAHGRASS (which is Scottish for fuck off)
The girl notices her first blow doing very little, instead of keeping at the same rate, she'd slam her full force behind the second attack as the hammer smashes into her and sends her flying backward... No, not gonna resort to the guns this quickly. She'd get up and dust herself off, smiling at Kotori all the while.
"Ah, that was pretty good Kotori-chan! Well, I guess it's no shock that you're pretty good... At this rate, I'll have to start using my magic pretty soon here!"
Homulilly however, isn't quite having Takeno's Persona try to harm her master. She screeches and darts in between them, she'd slam the rod part of her weapon into the path of the other Persona's attack. She'd fly back a bit from the impact, unable to counter after absorbing such damage.
(edited by Homura-Akemi)
Believe it or not Deneb doesn't speak Scottish, so he keeps his deathgrip. It holds Rep firmly in place.
"C-Can someone call the police!? This man is dangerous and mentally unstable! P-Please, i-if it's not too much trouble!"
Well... I can tell you it's for fun.....
*she'd glance at Sayaka's ring again, for different reasons this time.*
And I can tell you that you're not on your own anymore.
But yeah, people come here to train I guess. Not that I really can benefit from this kind of training, lacking any real skills or anything.
GET OFF OF ME YA FUCKER (he grabs den to with his freakishly long arms, and picks him up, and throws him to the ground)
Deneb keeps his iron grip on Rep, bringing Rep with him to the floor.
"P-Please don't use profanity! There are children here!"
GOD DAMMIT, ((he grabs his claymore, which is 7'1 and thrust into his chest) THIS IS WHAT YA GET
As Take regained her footing, the large shark-like humanoid hopped back towards her, letting out a blood curdling screech.
"Lotan! Center stage!"
With a rather extravagant wave of her right arm into the air, the Persona reaches into its gaping maw, pulling out a massive ball of psychokinetic energy, hurling it towards Homulilly!
The Claymore doesn't actually do anything, instead it just bends and crumples against it.
"Don't let them see! Th-This is dangerous behavior! Don't look, p-please!"
She does flinch from the second strike, but only enough to be noticeable
Focus.... foocus....
She rushes Homura, adding a wind enchantment to herself to move at a slightly elevated speed, before swinging her hammer at the air, sending a shockwave burst of wind straight towards Homura before leaping into the air and attempting to use the weight of the earth enchantment to slam down on Homura's locatoion

YO...YOU BITCH (he kicks den off with extremely powerful fource, and jumps on him and chokes him)
(edited by Reperzel)
Deneb holds his hands up, still fretting about.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to break it!"
Deneb eventually rolls over, and tries to pin Rep to stop moving.
"I-I'll get you a new one! I promise!"
*Urumi walks over and kicks Rep in the head in order to knock him out*
ILL FUCK YOU UP BOY (he suddenly twist his legs onto dens body like a snake, and crushes his lower body)
Sayaka laughs and puts both hands behind her head, hiding the ring in the process. She gives Haruko a smile before looking back at the arena
Good, I was kinda hoping I wouldn't need to do anything.
Anyways, don't get me wrong, I always had friends and stuff. I just couldn't let them get directly involved in that sorta thing. At least, I didn't want them to feel forced into it....
Sayaka looks up at the roof for a moment, apparently lost in thought, before she turns back to Haruko with a smile
Y'know, if you're still serious about considering becoming a Magical Girl, well, I can't say I suggest it, but I'd be willing to help you prepare for the possibility.
Sayaka's grin turns into a frown as she leans forward, taking both hands from behind her head,
putting her left one on her hip and wagging the right at Haruko, as though trying to look stern,
though results may vary
Just remember, its not something to get into thoughtlessly. This sorta thing is serious business, and I don't want anyone to just run into it.
(He quickly grabs urumi, foot with his arm, and twist her foot) NOT TODAY
(edited by Reperzel)
Homulilly glares through the veil of darkness as the strange energy blasts into her, she'd smirk at Lotan as her weapon begins spinning through the air. The Persona herself seeming to dance in the air as a breeze blows behind her and causes her coat to flutter. She'd then bring the blade up from the ground, a small cyclone blowing toward Lotan as Homulilly rushes the Persona and aims to slam her blade into its shoulder.
"Geez, that's pretty neat Kotori-chan... No more messing around."
Homura darts off to the side, a bit of the wind still slamming into her as an hourglass clicks inside of the girl's shield, Everyone else in the building would grind to a halt as her blade is replaced with a shotgun, albeit one loaded with beanbag rounds rather than her usual ammo. Regardless, Homura darts around to Kotori's right side, getting in close before a blunt shot flies through the air for a moment before freezing like everything else, she'd repeat that on Kotori's left side before snapping her fingers and letting the flow of time resume.

Deneb still continues to struggle, it doesn't look like anything is fazing him.
"P-P-PLEASE, DON'T USE PROFANITY! It's setting a bad example!"
Deneb still isn't actually fighting back, just trying to restrain him.
*Urumi throws a stun knife at Rep as he twists her foot... Urumi tries her best not to scream in pain*
WELL, YA THE ONE WHO STARTED IT
Yeah, thoughtlessly.... *she looks at Sayaka, more concerned than anything. She has to try not to start revealing things to the poor girl.*
Right now, Sayaka? Can you just help me prepare so that... I can keep you safe? And Homura and Madoka, too.
(The knife hits, and gets knocked out) ohh....ohhhhh
*Grabs the GYM's phone.*
Uh, yeah, cops? That crazy giant with the rogue Persona is at it again. Yeah, GYM. Shibuya.
*Leaves.*
With the gust thrown at Lotan, it coils its arms to defend itself, not quite realizing its flimsy limbs offered little protection as it was shoved backwards, digging into the ground a little bit as it struggled to maintain its footing. Against the blade, the massive humanoid doesn't appear to react, that is until an extra limb seems to appear from it's back, attempting to catch the blade, that is, until the blade seems to cut into its extra limb. Take suddenly staggered and grunted in pain, shaking off the sensation pretty quickly as she dashes towards Homura, aiming to simply hook her fist into the other girl's side.
"Try this on for size! Lotan, slash!"
With one of its free arms, the lumbering shark-man shrieks again, slashing its wavey whip-like arm at Homulilly's side, its movements strikingly similar to that of its master, however the Persona's strike was naturally way stronger.
(edited by Takeno)
*A girl suddenly appears and grabs Urumi, pulling her to safety*
U-Umm... Are you okay...? You were in trouble...
Kotori is hit on both sides as the pellets bounce off. Seemingly doing nothing.
As Kotori lands, the impact shakes the ground while she recovers from the landing
Tch.... I dunno why I do that. It never hits.
*Urumi looks at the girl who is helping her and shakes her head no as she gestures to her twisted foot*
(10 minutes later he wakes up, he jumps straight up) ALRIGHT, WHERE IS THAT BASTARD!!
Oh... That looks bad.
Umm, I dunno much, but... I've read that this can work...
*She holds Urumis foot and somehow snaps it back into place*
AY, YA WHERE YA WHERE THE ONE WHO KNOCKED ME OUT?!?!, YA BITCH (he runs to urumi, and drop kick her in the gut)
A rift opens up and Aitome falls out of it, landing right into the kick from Rep and falling backwards
Oof! W-what was that for!
Sayaka sighs and puts both arms behind her head, geeze....
Y'know, part of why I became a Magical Girl was so that people like you and Madoka wouldn't have to. And that much still applies.
With that Sayaka begins looking for a spare weapon rack, if Haruko's going to start training, she'll want to find something to practice with
So you don't have to worry about keeping me safe, that's my job after all. But yeah, I can at least try to help you with that. Long as you're taking it seriously
*A red aura goes around Urumi as Setsuna twists her foot back into place... she does not feel a thing and soon uses another stun knife on Rep*
(edited by Urumi_Koto)
(He falls down again, knocked out again) ohhhhhh...huh
*Urumi gets up and walks to Rep soon putting handcuffs on him and cuffs him to the wall*
Rep's awakening was met with a loud train horn blaring, and the sound of metal screeching as it would appear that a train had departed from GYM. Inside Rep's pocket; however, was a note, some yen, and a piece of candy in a wrapper that had Deneb's face on it. Upon reading the note it would be revealed to say...
"I am terribly sorry to have damaged your property, so I have left you with what I am left to believe is suitable payment. I have also enclosed some Deneb Candy. Hopefully something sweet will quell that bitter tongue.
Apologies
-Deneb"
Umm, please don't fight...!
Umm... I've faught like that before... I did bad things and hurt people to fill the emptiness in my soul... But I think you can be different!
*Setsuna hugs Urumi from behind*
Let's refrain... Just for now...
Ah geezs... I just wanted to check up on this place and I get kicked...
*Aitome then raises her hand into the air as a cascade of green light heals everyone around her, not including those in fights though obviously, then turning to Rep
Anyways... Why were you even throwing kic- W-Woah! Your tall, and really skinny! Are you sure your okay? Forget about the kick.
(edited by Aitome_Korichi)
*Urumi looks at the girl and sighs*
Ok then
*Urumi puts a piece of cloth into her (Urumi) mouth and soon the red aura goes away, soon Urumi begins to scream in pain but the cloth mutes the noise*
(He wakes up again, and notices the cuffing) WAT?!?!, GET THESE THIN OFF ME, NOW!
U-umm, I thought I helped you! What's wrong?
Um... Cuffs? I.. Don't see any... Are you sure your okay? Your going to scare the children, and if you do that, you'll have hell to pay for.
Aitome then gives Rep a sinister little laugh as her eyes tint a little red, baring a set of pure white fangs
Homura sighs as her... Less lethal weapons fail to work, she'd switch our for her Shinai once more. This time however purple energy flows through the blade, enchanting it to both withstand more, and hit harder.
"Geez, how'd you shrug that off Kotori-chan? Normal people can shatter their bones from those things ya know!"
She'd then dart forward once again, a blur of white and black moving toward Kotori before... Oh dang it, she'd sigh as Takeno appears near her. Rather than continuing to attack Kotor, Homura drags her Shinai down before moving toward Take, she'd then slash up with the thing aiming to bash it into the girl's arm from below.
"And now I've gotta fight you both at once huh? Well, I was hoping Homulilly could deal with one, but I guess this is fine too!"
Homura's Persona growls a bit, blows smashing it about as the Persona crackles, and Homura almost winces. Seems the feedback's weaker than most people's. Homulilly, on the other hand, begins laughing, darkness from the arms on her back spreading out before it forms a cloud that engulfs Lotan,
assuming Lotan needs eyesight, it'd be blind. She, however, can see fine despite the dark magic and instead aims to simply slice her blade into from a horizontal slash to his left.
You may not know why.... but I know you'll need help. And yes, I'm totally serious about this. You, Madoka, Homura.... everyone else, too.
WELL, FUCK YA TO MATE, (he may have his arms cuffed, but, he still has his legs, and he side kicks aiotme with his frakisly long legs)
*Urumi takes off the cloth out of her mouth and looks at Set*
Well you saw the red aura around me correct?
well I have a power that lets me not feel pain which when activated a red aura goes around me but once its deactivate all that pain I would have felt, comes back and I feel it all at once
*Shino walks by the Gym and notices that the door has been destroyed again*
Are you serious.... This happens all the time the freaking time...
Why would I tell my opponent my secrets!?
Kotori rushes towards Homura, preparing to meet her blade in mid swing, but seeing her switch targets to Takeno, Kotori aims for slam the handle of Termite at her face to stun her and follow up with a strong swing to her right knee
Gak!
Aitome goes flying again as she uses her light magic to cushion the fall a bit, returning to normal as she walks over to rep, pulling out a shortsword as she gives the person a cold stare with blue eyes
Was that really necessary? Don't move or else this might end up bad for the both of us. But specifically you.
Aitome then sticks the sword into the floor as concentrates and spreads a layer of glowing ice towards Rep, hopefully trapping him in it as she talks to him again
Seriously. Don't try and break out, it's explosive. You might die.
I-I see... That sounds tough...
...Even pain is like a novelty to me... I think all feelings are incredible, even bad ones... I hope I can help you... I've done bad things, so I think if I helped someone special I would make up for that. When you hurt I'll come, okay?
(He trys so hard not to move) cleaver....little bitch
Take staggers backwards holding her arm. Suddenly she'd grin, looking back at her Persona for just a moment before swinging another kick at Homura's left side.
"Lotan, swing!"
The monster would find itself preoccupied, if only for a moment by Homulilly's blade, tanking a slash to its side and earning a pained cough out of the Persona's master. With a slow, but heavy leap it flies to Take's side and drags its elongated arm towards Homura, the swing probably not much more than to knock her over. Despite that however, the Persona's arm length would like pose a danger to Kotori as well.
Ok...
*Thinks "now there's another person who will come if i'm in pain"*
Wait why am I not shy around you since I dont know you...
*Urumi checks her face and yep, the mask was on*
oh well that explains it
(edited by Urumi_Koto)
A group of young adults dressed in strange armor step into the GYM. They each seem to wear headsets and have strange looking guns at their sides. They would approach the man known as Zane. A tall boy would take the lead.
"Hey, hold up! Your days of crime end here, pal. We've been given order to take you in to be examined. Heard you got some dangerous monster living inside you or something. Now, if you just would avoid struggling this'll be a lot easier for everyone, got it?"
The others put their hand to their waists as if prepared to pull out the strange looking guns if needed.
Now now... No need for such petty insults...
*Aitome then builds herself a small ice chair as she waits for a few seconds, staring at the ice sculpture she made before speaking
Not my best work, but it'll do. Anyways. Do you mind explaining why your throwing kicks around? We would like to know.
*Aitome then notices the Shadow Ops and clenches her hands, her eyes widening as she takes deep breaths, trying to stay calm
U-um? C-can I help you? What's going on exactly?
(edited by Aitome_Korichi)
Sayaka finds two wooden practice swords, they're a bit on the big side, but that's to be expected around here.
Of course I know I will. Why do ya' think I'm so serious about this stuff? One day I'm gonna run up against a Witch I can't beat. But that doesn't mean its right to stop
Sayaka casually walks over to Haruko and tosses one of the swords up a bit. She takes a hold of the "blade" of the practice weapon, and offers the hilt to Haruko
So yeah, I can't suggest that kinda life for anyone, not when you could have a full life ahead of you. But, well, just look at me.
Sayaka holds up the finger with her silver ring, making an effort to show it to Haruko
I can't exactly protest too much, can I?
Mates, I would, but there's these ice bombs alllll around, one move and where allll dead
Oh... Just the mask...?
Umm, I don't think you need it. Your face is very pretty, miss!
I'm Setsuna Aizawa... Umm, I don't know much about living, but I'll do my best!
*Shino sets to work making a new door, because it's honestly bothering her*
Freaking people.... Learn how to use a door properly.
It's not that hard!
*Urumi blushes behind her mask after hearing Set say that her face was pretty*
Well the mask helps me not be shy to new people and its nice to meet you Setsuna, im Urumi
(edited by Urumi_Koto)
I don't know if it's the life for me. The life of a magical girl, sure. But... the life you lead... I don't know.
*She grabs the sword.*
There's one part about it... though I was told Homura knows what it is already.
Urumi-chan? That's a nice name. I like it.
You don't have to wear the mask with me, okay? *smiles*
The guy who appears to be the leader of this small squad just smirks at the mention of ice as he motions for the others to take their hand off the weapons. He would then take out his own and point it at his own head.
"Just ice, right? Easy!
Phoenix!"
The boy would pull the trigger as a great fiery bird would appear behind him. The sheer heat of coming off it could be felt by all patrons of the GYM. The bird would unleash a volley of flames all over the ice to try and melt it. A younger looking boy would begin to freak out a little at this display.
Younger boy: "Wait, uh, boss. Is that really a good idea?!?"
A young girl would go up to Aitome to answer her. She seemed kinda nervous to speak out but knew parer job was sometimes informing others.
Young Girl: "Sorry but who we are is a secret. But we are the good guys, I promise! We just were given orders to apprehend a dangerous criminal."
He stands still, with his hands up) alright.....alright ya got me mates
*Urumi takes off her mask and felt her shyness coming back*
*Urumi walks over and sat down on a chair*
Homura sighs as the attacks rush towards her... And drags her shield up as a large purple bubble forms around her. The attacks would slam into it and send her flying away from both of them... In spite of that, however, she doesn't really have time to do much as the shield bursts in a flash of light.
"Geez, this is turning out pretty tough! Hope you can make this work Homulilly!"
The Persona's rod swings through the air in a circle, winds gathering around the thing as she slowly dances a bit closer to her targets. A pair of mid-sized cyclones would then begin rushing across the ground, aiming to smash into the foe's backs as they focus upon Homura herself. Assuming they hit, the cyclones would then break down into a series of blades, air attempting to slash all around them as Homura smirks a bit.
OOC: Soul Gem 25% Dark.
Sayaka shrugs and takes hold of the other sword, she starts by letting it swing rather carelessly in one hand, before turning it straight up and grabbing onto it with both
Yeah yeah, I know. Once you become one, you can't stop. Otherwise your you'll die.
Sayaka smirks and lowers her stance, its noticably awkward for her, but she seems to radiate confidence
If I didn't know better I'd say you're tryin' to insult the one who taught me. But I guess that's not really so important right now.
Sayaka raises an eyebrow, her own sword pointed at Haruko's with only a few inches between the
You ready to start? A lot of the stuff I do can't really be used for practice, but I figured I'm still better than nothing.
*Setsuna sat next to Urumi*
These duals are interesting. They're strong, aren't they?
Aitome turns to the girl and takes a deep breath again, they reminded her of a bad memory, a fake one even, but now was not the time to freak out
R-right.. W-well I'll leave it to you then! I suppose I shouldn't get in the way of the professionals! Oh! But be careful! That ice is still radioactive! It might cause some damage, but it should be fine...
Aitome then shuffles away, neverously, time to make her escape!
She then pulls out her blade and cuts a hole in reality, turning to say a few last words
W-well! I'm off to do hero things like a hero! G-goodbye! Oh! By the way! Good luck with your girlfriend Sailor Sister!
Aitome then wipes the sweat dripping off her brow and steps into the rift, disappearing from sight
Y-you... already knew about that...?
Yeah.... let's start, then.
Tch!
WIND!
The wind enchantment senses the cyclone behind her, and Kotori turns around and smashes the air, sending a burst of wind to hopefully disrupt the cyclones magic, Takeno's persona ends up smacking Kotori in the face, but it doesn't seem to register
SMASH!

*After fixing the door, Shino stands up and stretches, and the walks over and grabs a water bottle, throwing some yen on the counter*
Well, since I'm here, I may as well enjoy some fights...
Nothing better to do.
*Urumi slowly nods*
Yeah....
*Urumi takes off her backpack and takes out a smaller bag*
With the ice melted the hot-headed leader would move in to apprehend Zane. He would attach special cuffs to his hands to replace the Persona disabling bracelet. The cuffs would work the same way as the bracelet but with the additional effect of being attached to a button within the nervous looking boy's pocket. When the button was push a small shock would be administered to Zane.
Hot-Headed Boy: "Alright, if that's all then I think it's time we take you back to HQ."
and I'll kick all of y'alls asses mate, i swear
(edited by Reperzel)
Gee, can't you have a little faith in me?
Sayaka gives Haruko a mocking grin before stepping forward and swinging her sword horizontally at Haruko's own, in hopes of knocking it aside. though her confidence suggests otherwise, in her current state Sayaka's swings are somewhat clumsy and imprecise, good thing she's aiming at a long, unmoving target
Lotan dashed over to Take, seeing its limbs bounce off of Homura's shield in vain and attempting to block its master from all the slashes. The Persona took most of the beating, suddenly looking much more weakened than before. After the gust ends, the large humanoid stands upright once more, almost seeming to stretch out its arms further than normal. Suddenly it started slamming them around the other Persona's nearby vicinity, not really caring what it was aiming at but more just trying to harm Homulilly through sheer patience and attrition.
Take, looking very tired and pained right about now, runs to Homura once more, instead of aiming for just one strike, following up with a series of jabs aimed at Homura's torso.
"Let's finish this now!"
If one were perceptive enough, they'd notice a definite correlation between the attack patterns of Takeno and her Persona.
Hm? You have bags in smaller bags?
What's in them? If it's okay to ask...
Hot-Headed Leader: "Yeah, yeah. Keep talking, pal. I'll be sure to keep that in mind later."
With that he'd gesture to the rest of the group as they would escort Zane out of the building. The young nervous girl would be the last one out as she bows to the patrons within.
Young Girl: "Please excuse us! I'm very sorry!"
With that she would leave as well as she rushes to follow the others.
Mumbles: I swear, my life just keeps on getting better
*Urumi opens the smaller bag which is filled with accessories and shows Set*
*The sword is hit! And moves slightly, but Haruko puts both hands onto it to keep it straight.*
Hey, no fair starting so suddenly!
*With a sudden wrist twist she tries to push back against Sayaka's sword! Reversal!*
The wind aimed at Kotori would indeed disrupt, being reduced from an actual cyclone to a simple gust that aims to slam into the girl. Homura, on the other hand, is more than a bit busy with Takeno aiming to slam into her... But, she's pretty worn down. And, not to mention Homura's got a wooden sword. She'd take a few of the blows head on, a few others she slams her blade into and feels it vibrate from the force. By the time she's done, Homura raises her blade above her head, a quick vertical slash aimed to slam into Take's skull raining down, she'd then perform another, this time going for the other girl's right shoulder, and finally in a burst of speed she'd switch to the left and aim a horizontal blow for Take's abdomen. Homulilly on the other hand, takes a more berserker style, darkness flowing around her as she aims to slam her bladed rod about, trying to match Lotan blow for blow in a burst of strength and speed, regardless of the outcome, however, she'd vanish by the time it's done.
Soul Gem 30% dark.
Perfect!
Rather than take the brunt of the blow, Kotori uses her wind enchantment to flow with the gust, using it to propel her towards Homura, hammer aiming for her back as she reinforces the swing with earth to power up her arms and wind, to lessen the wind resistance of the hammer as she swings
Hows that for using wind correctly you egotistical jackwagon!?
(edited by Kotori_K)
So...ya guys some sortta anti-evil persona user, or what?
Sayaka grins and, rather than deal with actual sword technique, steps aside, letting her blade move with Haruko's before jumping a little in an attempt to get her weapon over it. Any actual sword instructor would be appalled at the lack of any organization, but it is difficult to deny the effectiveness of swinging at Haruko's right arm on her way down that she would make if the maneuver succeeded
I already asked if you were ready, of course I was gonna start.
*She takes a sip of water as she continues to watch the fights around her*
There's some pretty strong people here...
I really should try my luck at some point.
accessories? Umm, which one do you think would look nice on me, Urumi-chan?
I... Dont know... Setuna *is starting to fall asleep*
Lotan would meet little success in hitting the other Persona, but his persistence seemed to have been rewarded, as it still stood amidst the gym, tattered and almost cracked it seemed. Take, had been smacked over the head, then the shoulder, and finally her abdomen. She'd stagger for a bit, holding her face and falling to her knees for a moment.
"L-Lotan! Once more! Let's end this!"
With a slow lunge, Lotan extended his right arm towards Homura, waiting to see the effects of Kotori's swing before attempting to pin Homura, its overall strength being nothing in comparison to the start of the fight, but if allowed, Lotan would be able to shove the girl over.
(edited by Takeno)
*Yes indeed, Haruko is learning sword techniques from someone who would make instructors cringe. Upon losing Sayaka's sword, Haruko does the smart thing and backs up, causing her to barely miss the hit. Then delivering a quick few steps forward and horizontal swing!*
Gotta be faster than that!
*She's smiling, she almost laughs, she's losing some of that refined edge...*
The group wouldn't really react much to Zane's question as they began loading him into a black van. There would be an array of complicated machine within the van and a strange blue crystal like object in a reinforced jar on the roof. They would have Zane restrained upon a seat in the middle of the van's interior as the rest would strap into seats on the side.
The only one not sitting down would be the leader of the group who began talking through a window near the front. He would appear to be talking to the driver of the van.
The nervous looking boy from before now seemed to have a slightly condescending attitude towards Zane. It seemed he had a boost of confidence when speaking to someone who couldn't fight back.
"We're know as the Shadow Operatives. We work alongside the police in any matters retaining to shadows or personas. In a lot of ways I guess you could consider us a part of the police though we mostly take orders directly from the Kirijo Group. I'm only explaining this to you since it doesn't seem like you'll be seeing the light of day for some time."
Hehe....listen here ya little fucks, just cause ya got me on some bricks, it don't mean ya got me in ya grasp, I've escaped jail once, and I'll do it again
"Geez, ya know I won't be able to win unless one of you goes down at some point."
Kotori's blow slams into Homura, she might have even heard something break? But either way...
She can still keep going, the girl darts backward as her shield clicks once more. She'd replace her blade with a black assault rifle. Quickly taking aim at Lotan's head as he rushes towards her, the bullets would rush out of her gun and halt in mid-air as Homura darts out of the way, by the time she's gone 10 shots hold in front of Lotan and she's in front of Take as time resumes. Her rifle vanishing into the and her Shinai appearing once more. Her blade would stab toward Take's chest,
aiming to smash the middle of it faster and stronger than her previous attacks. Gotta focus one down if she's going to win after all. Naturally, this would leave her open to a counter-attack from Kotori.
OOC: Soul Gem 50% dark.
The boy would give Zane an almost sadistic smile as if thoroughly annoyed with him.
"I think you underestimate our resources. We're a organization that specifically works to interrogate and detain people and monsters capable of destroying the very facet of society.
With our technology since coming to this world known as the Nexus we also have had major advancements in technology even successfully making these new model Evokers. They have a few special tricks that are for Shadow Operative ears only so I won't bother spoiling the details with that.
If you think you can escape then go ahead but from what I've heard the Kirijo Group has surveillance being run on you. It's only a matter of time before the head of our organization deans you a kill on sight threat.
So if you really think you can run away I dare you to do it. Won't be my fault when we have to clan your blood off the pavement."
Sigh...fine, I'll play ya games then, mate
Should have focused on me!
Noticing Homura right in front of her again, Kotori takes full advantage of the opening, Aiming specifically for the shield on her arm, Should it hit, she'd try to corrode the shield and make it useless
Lotan would end up staggering, letting out an accompanying howl and kneeling. Eventually, it would fade away. Take, now Persona broken, seems unable to defend herself from the stab, being knocked right over and weakly groaning.
"D-Damnit..."
She'd try to pull herself back onto her feet, only to fall back down, only breathing heavily as she was now incapacitated.
(He whistles sublimes 'what I got')
As Sayaka tries to recover from such a reckless move, Haruko manages to hit her in the arm. Of course, they're only practice swords so it'll just bruise at the worst, Sayaka finds herself giggling as their "fight" goes on
Oh yeah? I'll show you!!
from her position lower on the ground, Sayaka would rise with her sword, swinging it diagnally at Haruko's elbow, with both momentum from her rising back to her fight, and an actual swing to go with it.
The girl swings around, raising her shield arm up as the hammer swings toward it. Instead, she'd simply be smashed into by the thing... And feel her clothing starting to melt under its effects, a bit of the acid even seeps into the girl's flesh as she cries out in pain.
"Gah! What the hell Kotori!? I don't even know if I can fix that thing! Don't ever aim for the shield again got that!?"
A look of annoyance flashes across her face as the girl's blade flashes back into her shield, a pistol taking its place. She'd point the gun at Kotori's chest as small bolts of Lightning fly out of it, Homura still wincing in pain as she blasts away with about 4 Dust rounds.
Ah!
I di-
Kotori is cut off by the Lightning striking her, the shock making her convulse a bit as she falls to the ground, slightly stunned, but attempting to get back up and enchanting her body with lightning as it wears off
(edited by Kotori_K)
*Haruko can't block from below that soon, and so gets whacked on the elbow and jumps back.*
Ow, okay now I'm gonna be serious.
*She would extend her arms and lean forward, swinging down at Sayaka's shoulder. Holding back slightly so it doesn't actually hurt too badly if it hits.*
Homura looks... A bit sorry in fact, she still doesn't stop, but she does say a bit as she rushes toward Kotori.
"It's fine Kotori-chan! Just um please don't do that... I shouldn't have gotten angry, but I just can't do my magic without it and well... It's a little hard to protect much of anyone without that."
In spite of her words of apology, however, she did the moment of being stunned to switch back to her Shinai, she'd roll down to the ground and aim to stab upward into Kotori's stomach. Not too unlike the move Kazuya had shown Kotori the other night in fact. If done with less grace and polish by far.
Guh!
The strike hits her in the stomach and Kotori stumbles back from it, then re-enchants herself with earth and strikes the floor, attempting to use a small earthquake to knock Homura off balance so she can close the distance and swing at her knees
So...we there yet?
With Haruko slowing herself down a little, Sayaka is able to lean out of the way of Haruko's weapon, causing it to merely glance off her other shoulder
Come on, I thought I told you not to worry about me so much, I can handle myself you know.
With a wide grin Sayaka would retaliate by elbowing Haruko's arm in an attempt to make her more off balance before raising the sword again to try and hit her head on top of the head with it
The van would stop as it arrives at its destination.
OOC: https://phansite.net/forum/topic.php?topic=12908
*Is put off balance but opts to go all the way to the ground, so good luck hitting her head before she can kick a leg out to try and send Sayaka to the ground as well!*
Then I'll stop worrying!
Homura stumbles back, even falling down to the ground and losing hold of her sword from being rather unprepared for that... A voice in her head, however, reminds the girl of the black card she can easily call upon again despite the breaking earlier. She'd grin as the being bursts up around her. Blunted blades of darkness growing from her back this time and slashing about wildly at Kotori, Homura, on the other hand, attempts to roll off the ground and get behind her Persona.
"Phew, good thing Homulilly came back huh? I'd have lost a while ago against you guys without her helping me out!"
In spite of the battle going on around them, she simply sounds cheerful and grins over at Kotori.
Soul Gem 60% dark.
Sayaka begins laughing as she falls over on the floor. She manages to control her fall in order to land on top of Haruko, and drops the practice sword in favor of hugging the slightly older teen this might not have been the best practice fight, but she sure had fun
Good, because its my job to protect you remember? Not the other way around.
Sayaka gives Haruko a wide grin from her position, and can't help but continue laughing cheerfully
Kotori gets hit three times by the slashes before she gets out of the attack
I..... I......
Despite Homura's cheer, Kotori looks a mix between frustrated, hopeless and desperate as she gathers a mass of power, likely the rest she has, and rushing Homura, Swinging at Homulily while attempting to sidestep her, in an attempt to get past and putting everything she has in a swing at Homura.
Both the swings are powerful enough for the shock of the swing to be felt outside of the hammer's range
Regardless of the result, Kotori will hit the floor after the last swing
(edited by Kotori_K)
*Haruko would... blush slightly at the younger, but more powerful, girl.*
It might be your job to protect me. But that's just until I wish to protect you or something.
*She then laughs herself, implying that was a joke... even though it's obviously something she's serious about. The protecting part, not the wishing. Surely nobody is going to try and get her to make a wish like that, right?*
Homulilly roars, the wild swings of the Persona becoming a sudden shield formed from her darkness as attempts to protect Homura. Regardless of that, however, Kotori's blow slams past simply losing some of its energy before it slams into Homura. She'd raise up her enchanted Shinai and attempt to block the blow herself, even managing to slam her sword into it... And fly back about 10 feet while feeling a somewhat sharp pain in her arms, despite that, the magic does let her wooden sword hold out somehow. She'd point the weapon at Kotori again, only to notice her friend on the floor and rush over with a grimace on her face.
"Ah! Kotori-chan are you okay!? Um, I can... Wait, no I'm not even that good honestly."
She glances over at Sayaka and begins shouting. She's always been the better healer out of them all anyway.
"Sayaka-chan! Can you do me a little favor and help Kotori-chan, please!? Um, I can give you a grief seed for it or something... Just, I'd rather not use my own magic when it's not really all that good."
Not to mention she's just worried about the girl, getting grief seeds has been far more productive with Homulilly pulling some weight after all. So no doubt that Sayaka's more in need than her.
Kotori struggles to stand up, but manages to get in a sitting position
....................................................................................................
.............-m not hurt..........
just......... out..........
Take stands to her feet, holding her forehead and sighing, still wearing a confident smirk.
"I can safely say I got my ass handed over. To be honest I wasn't quite expecting such a fight! It was fun, really! Though I'm sure if Lotan could speak he'd beg to differ!"
She lets out a hearty laugh, widening her eyes for a moment and mumbling.
"D-Do Personas have feelings...?"
Sayaka laughs and gets herself off Haruko. Shortly after she gets off, she'd calm herself down enough to look the older girl seriously in the eyes
Whatever you do end up wishing for, just be extra careful about it ok? You don't want to end up regretting anything like that.
Sayaka looks up at the sound of Homura's voice and lets out a frustrated sigh, not so sure what she's asking for, but still she walks over to the arena
Look, I'm pretty sure my magic mostly works to keep me healed, never tried it on someone else. But even if it DID work like that, you don't have to bribe me to get me to help someone. I can get grief seeds well enough on my own, got it?
Sayaka would cross her arms and look at Homura over her shoulder, its pretty clear she's still not too friendly, but there's no hate in her eyes at least. One can catch the glint of her silver ring on her left hand
... The girl sighs to herself, of course, she's got no clue how her magic actually works...
"Focus your energy on them Sayaka-chan, it's not any harder than willing someone to be healed for you... As for the bribe? If I'm being honest I'm more just giving it to you, consider it a gift! And I won't take no for an answer!"
She smiles over at the blue-haired girl, a black gem taking shape from her shield as she offers it to Sayaka. She'd then glance over at Takeno and grin.
"I'm glad you had fun with it! I'm not really sure if I could tell you anything about... Whatever Lotan uses, Homulilly just does Darkness and Wind magic. What the heck kinda spells were those anyways Yoshiko-chan? I've never seen someone use stuff like that before."
*Haruko would get up and nod, speaking quietly, so as not to disturb Sayaka and Homura.*
I know how you probably feel about her, but she's smarter than you know. You really should talk to her....
Sayaka pauses for a bit, come to think of it, there's absolutely no reason not to try it out at least. It would make sense if she could heal others as well. She holds out her left hand, palm up, as her soul gem forms in the palm of it. I'm not going to bother describing a transformation sequence or changing profile pic for the course of maybe three posts, but regardless she emerges in her Magical Girl outfit and steps past Homura to Kotori
Before I even think about accepting that, I've gotta ask. Those weapons and stuff you use. How did you get them?
With that, Sayaka takes a deep breath and places her hands over Kotori, two blue circles fored of music notes would appear below the girl as she works her magic to heal any of Kotori's physical wounds she might have gotten
"That? Psycho-whatever apparently. He messes with minds. At one point he did a lot more than just a projectile though, I swear he tricked some shadows into seeing something else! There's a lot I need to learn about using that Persona, but once I do, there's no shadow that'll stand a chance against us!"
She'd nod-nod in excitement, offering a thumbs up towards Homura, seeming giddy as always despite the fact that she definitely had a few bruises here and there.
Nothing seems to happen
............ told you.......
.......not i-!!!
She stands up and rushes out the door in a panic, rushing to the allyway next to the GYM
Homura giggles, well the pistol... No need to mention how she got that one, thankfully she won't have to do that anymore so she can answer... Mostly, honestly.
"I bought them of course! Well, the shotgun was a gift actually, but um, either way, they all came from Em-san. In fact, you should really check his store out sometime, or Tatsuya-san's I guess. If you ever want something outside your magic, those two deal in pretty good stuff. And don't care if teenage girls are the ones buying lethal weapons! They're in pretty deep with the magic stuff honestly, so um if they did ask anything just show them your power and it should be fine!"
Homura holds out the seed once more for a moment, offering Sayaka a genuine smile of thanks upon seeing Kotori rush out the door somehow not harmed, however, she'd toss the seed at Sayaka and run after her friend.
"Sorry Sayaka-chan, I didn't mean to waste your time... Though, you learned something new so I hope it's not a total waste, anyways I gotta keep up with Kotori-chan!"
Kotori sits in the alleyway, shaking, and looking much less healthy, a bit more pale and emaciated, huddling her knees, her face one of a kid trying not to burst into tears
Sayaka's magic circles vanish as Kotori runs out the door from her. She stands and turns to the other girl, mouth open, only to be distracted by Homura. She catches the grief seed and yells after the other girl
WAIT, AND WHERE DID YOU GET THE MONEY FO.....
By the time she gets that far in Homura's already out the door. Sayaka looks down at the peculiar gem and sighs, pocketing it away for now. This Homura seems to be fairly good, so there's no reason to doubt it for now. Instead she sighs and turns back to the doorway
I hope Kotori's gonna be alright. She looked kinda freaked.
Yeah... I hope she hasn't pushed herself too far and actually gotten hurt.
She's the exact kind of person who would...
*Haruko pauses, eyes suddenly wide.*
Oh no, I hope she isn't running around wishing for strength.... that weird fortune teller lady would be all over her!
With how much Homura and I go on about needing to think first.
Sayaka stretches out her left palm and begins to glow again as her magical girl outfit fades from around her, leaving her back in the depicted school uniform
I sure hope she's not dumb enough to consider that. She'd almost certainly end up regretting something so reckless.
But, I guess if it IS for herself, that leaves a little less to worry about, right?
Well, honestly I'd think a selfish wish is worst of all. Because if she wishes to be strong enough to beat someone, doesn't your life get pretty hollow once you've beaten them? Not to mention it'd be a cheap victory.
Wishing for the sake of others... to find a way to change inevitable fates... that's a wish that can keep you going however long it takes.
*It was a rare moment to see something like this from Haruko. But perhaps it could become more common. An appearance of gentleness, an underlying air of confidence and desire for action. And altogether... heroic?*
Homura looks over at Kotori, a worried expression crossing her face as she walks up and pulls the younger girl into a hug.
"Hey, Kotori-chan, I don't understand why you're so worried... And um I don't know if I can help with those wounds, but listen. Do I need to get you home? I'm... Was that from something I did? Not really sure what to except, well sorry. And if I can help at all, please let me know!"
She'd smile at the other girl, arms still wrapped around her as Homura's eyes begin to water a bit. Geez, hopefully, this isn't anything too bad right?
"Just... I really hope I didn't hurt you Kotori-chan, um I know that I was trying to win. But if you got hurt a lot even without me aiming to kill. That's a failing on my part, and I just... I'm sorry."
She shakes her head
N-not.... not you......
Not hurt......
He..... h-he's.... just... gone.
H-hahaha....
Just like that....
Tears start falling from her eyes as she curls up
weak......... useless....
stupid..... pathetic....
worthless.....
even with help......
.........never be enough......
She continues to sob into her knees
Sayaka puts both arms behind her head and grins back to Haruko, pretty sure we've been over this before but...
Well, when you're making a contract the wish itself isn't all that important for how strong you'll become. The most important thing is to be sure you know what it is you're wanting in a wish. Otherwise you'll end up regretting it.
At least if you're making a selfish wish, though I might not agree with it, you DO know what you want, so you'll probably be more satisfied with the wish before you run off fighting Witches for the rest of your life.
That's what Mami always taught me. "When making a wish be sure that's what you really want, otherwise you'll just regret it later."
Either way, I don't think a wish to beat one person in a fight would be worth it. That's not satisfying. What Kotori wants... is probably something else. Maybe friendship, or love, or self-confidence.
But yeah... wanting what you wish for....
Homura smiles sadly and kneels down, pulling the smaller girl into her arms as suddenly the puzzle starts to fit.
"Don't call yourself worthless ever again Kotori. Do you think being able to fight is the only worth people can have? Because it sure as hell isn't. I'd trade all the power I've ever gained just to have a normal life with Madoka, or as normal as we could ever be."
In spite of her attempts to comfort the girl, Homura's voice is filled with the kind of fire that's...
Warm, in contrast with some emotionless coldness. She sounds as though she's angry.
"I don't know who put thoughts like that in your head, but I hate them... People are more than just powers! Gahhh, who even did something like this to you? Spent your entire childhood just fighting? Even my family's better than that, and they were never around!"
Homura sighs, pausing and taking a breath as she aims to calm herself down.
"Don't think I'm mad at you okay? I... I'm mad at the things people have done to you, and I wish that I could do more to help you. But, please don't think that anger's meant for you Kotori. Because that is not what I meant."
She'd then smile again, this time looking like an actual smile rather than just an attempt to keep herself from breaking down.
"And as for that stupid bug leaving you!? He clearly doesn't know a good thing when it's there, I don't want you to feel like being powerful's the only good thing you can do! But I know that if you set your mind to it, then you'll be plenty strong one day!"
Homura raises a fist into the air with an excited shout, yeah! Kotori's gonna accomplish what she sets out for somehow! And dammed if Homura's not gonna help her do it!
Sayaka shrugs and looks back at Haruko, ring glinting on her finger
Its not really our place to judge whether a wish is worth it or not. That decision is kinda a personal one, for her and her alone.
Sayaka finally glances at the GYM clock and suddenly seems to panic, she waves to Haruko as she rushes to grab her schoolbag
Ah crap, looks like its getting a little late. I've gotta get up tomorrow. I'll see you at school, ok?
With that, Sayaka runs out of the GYM and into the city streets
You don't get it.....
It's all I have..
It's all I can do...
It's what I've always done...
It's all I am..
It's EVERYTHING to me!
Kotori shouts in frustration to no one in particular
I've trained my whole life!
I've put everything into it!
I can't do anything else!
I'm supposed to be a Kisaragi!
A symbol of pure power!
Born strong enough to make normal people look on in awe!
But I'm not!
I'm not smart!
I'm not good with magic!
But I can't even stand without it!
All I can do is fight!
She lowers her voice and head again
And I can't even do that......
I can't do anything.
If I didn't have magic.
I'd spend my life laying in a hospital bed, rotting.... taking up space.
You don't know what it's like.
Watching your family, people like them.
Awesome displays of power...
People who have everything.....
Watching them from the window, not even able to move...
Wallowing in how worthless you are.
How weak.
How utterly unworthy you are to be related to these amazing people.
Nine years.
I've trained for nine years.
And I have NOTHING to show for it.
Homura sighs... Who the hell would do this? Did they try to make her feel this way, or is she just that hellishly hard on herself? In spite of that, Homura keeps calm and simply stares at Kotori's face.
"So what. So fucking what if that's you're supposed to be? My family would have wanted me to be some proper Japanese woman who just towed the line that society set."
At that, the girl's voice turns bitter, oh well. If there's anything she's glad to be rid of, it's expectations of people. Being a Magical Girl sucks, but at least she's not...
"And you want to talk about hospitals? Yeah I get that, I spent more of the life I can actually remember in a freaking hospital bed myself actually... I get wanting to be a burden, I don't really understand a desire for power for its own sake..."
Homura rubs the back of her and pauses for a moment, geez this is harder than anything she expected.
"Listen, if you want to get strong? Do it, I think you can... I don't want you chasing after something people forced on you, Kotori. But here's the thing, if you really want to do that? I'll help however I can... Just, I guess kinda heard about your family wanting you to train and assumed that you didn't really want to? I never wanted what they told me to do anyway, so why would someone else right?"
The girl shakes her head, how foolish to be just assuming everyone's like that, hell. Madoka's not like that either.
"If you find you don't want to fight then that's fine. And if you want to keep at it? That's fine too, we're friends after all, and I'll help however I can... Just make sure it's what you really what no matter what you choose, and not what someone else wants from you. That's really all I want for you Kotori!"
She'd smile and... Slap the girl's face lightly, not enough to really hurt, but it'll get her attention.
"And stop being so hard on yourself! I get you think you're weak, but if you were really weak then you'd have given up a long time ago! You're not an idiot, and you're better at magic than I am at least! I have a Persona that does all the work for me, and a shield I don't even freaking understand! So sure you might not be good, but at least you have some understanding of it... And as for not being smart? I don't buy it, you're hasty, you don't know things most people would because you haven't been taught, but you're not an idiot when you bother to think things through! An idiot wouldn't tell Kazuya and Gamma to stop fighting ya know... You're too hard on yourself, so rather than thinking about how weak you are... Why not just try to get better?"
Rant over and done with, Homura takes a deep breath. Pausing to try and let that sink in before she goes finishes up.
"A year ago I was in a hospital with no friends no hope and nothing to my name, yet here I stand now Kotori... If things can change for me that much? Then I refuse to believe they can't change for you too! In short. Make sure that it's what you want and I'll do whatever I can to help. And don't be down on yourself!"
She'd then grin at the girl, sounding something akin to her normal cheerful self again as she pushes her glasses up and stands, offering a hand to Kotori as she watches the girl curiously.
Kotori takes a while to think, staring at her knees
I want to.....
I wanna fight. It's fun, I love it.
But, I also wanna do other stuff.
I don't want do be dumb. I don't want to be useless.
I wanna be someone people want around.
I wanna be someone people can rely on, someone they can ask for help.
I wanna cook. I wanna learn other useful things.
And...... I wanna take your hand. But I can't move my arm...... So, there's that too.
Homura laughs and leans down, she'd grab hold of the girl and pull her up from the ground.
"Well, I'm not good at all those things myself honestly! But'll do what I can to help Kotori! Now then, I do believe we've been out long enough, don't you?"
She'd smile at the girl and begin walking off toward home... On the not so unlikely chance Kotori couldn't walk, she'd simply grab hold of the girl and begin carrying her entirely.
"Anyway, let's get the heck home so we can sleep okay? With everything that's happened today... Geez, I feel like I'm gonna pass out! But, uh I at least hope that I've said something useful."
Yeah.........
Sorry about everything.
I'll head home in a bit.
Just gotta rest a little.
I'll be ok in a bit.
Kotori smiles a little at Homura, then watches her head home.
Kotori, however, won't arrive there tonight

*Urumi wakes up after falling asleep, she soon looks around the room to see if anyone was here*
BEEP.
BOOP.
MEOW.
Urumi soon finds herself wrapped in the iron grip of a robot cat...
*A man wearing a thick red scarf walks in. It's covering his face.*
*Mayu walks in*
Hello peoples. I hath arrived in this here joint of... I forgot where I was going with this.
Well this is happening now
*Thinks "I swear something always happens to me when I wake up"*
Target acquired. Next objective: return to Lab 0.
Robo-Fortune nods to herself and begins dashing away with Urumi in tow... but runs straight into the mysterious man.
Im just going to let this happen... im too tired to do anything anyways
*Urumi just lets this happen*
Hmm? *The man looks at Robo-Fortune.* Hmm, interesting... heheheh! Hello..
What are you doing in my way? Do you know who I am?
(edited by GiveIntoDespair)
Actually, no. Your appearance is not in my database. I would say that we are in each other's way, BEEP BOOP MEOW.
*Mayu sits down next to Urumi*
Heya Urumi. Feels like it's been at least 2 GYM threads since I last saw you.
Just as ignorant as the masses. *He puts on a facade.* Could I pass... pl..please?
*Urumi looks at Mayu*
Hey Mayu, and yea it has been that long... wait why are we breaking the fourth wall? and also robo here is taking me somewhere after I woke up... and I don't know why
(edited by Urumi_Koto)
Ye- oh Trinity damn it. The fourth wall is cracking! I'll... just be off...
She awkwardly steps around the man and tries to pull Urumi along.
What 4th wall? I don't know what you're talking about? In fact, I never said anything at all, did you?
*Mayu twiddles her thumbs nervously, hoping not to get struck down by those who guard the 4th wall.*
*The man steps in front of the robot.* I'm sorry, but you're in MY way. Move it, robo freak.
nope
*Urumi just lets Robo pull her... which is no hard thing to do since Urumi is light as heck*
"Hello? I was walking by when I heard noises, so I thought it best to come loo-"
She walks in, showing slight concern as she looks around at the group.
"...Oh, I see. The fourth wall has been broken. Perhaps it was a mistake coming here. My character type is not well suited for this form of comedy."
You are incredibly rude. Be-GONE, FLESHBAG!
Her eyes glow, and a pink laser fires at the man's feet.
I see. So anyway, who's the dood blocking robo-kitty?
*Mayu then waves at Saeko*
Hiya miss. No fourth wall breaks here. This here is a fourth wall break free zone. What's the fourth wall? Nobody knows. Ha ha ha.
*The man's feet suddenly deform, creating holes in themselves to dodge the lasers.* You're annoying me, Robo-Freak. Let me past right now or I will break you and your scrawny little friend's neck. I am superior to everyone in this room.
Just do it Robo... I dont want to get into a fight this early today
*Mayu smirks at what the man says, trying to contain her laughter*
I cannot comply. Adversary could interfere with mission to find the...
...
...Error. Noncompliance could result in termination of girl.
She steps aside.
*The man struts in.* Hmph. Took you long enough.
Farewell. I must return acquired target to my creator for analysis and testing.
She hums and picks up Urumi again, beginning to head outside.
*Mayu waves*
Bye-bye. Shame they had to go. Ah well
*Mayu puts an arm around the mysterious man.*
Hiya. I'm Mayu. What's your name, mr shadowy mysterious guy?
*Sighs*
Why is this my life
*The man smirks under his scarf.* Kage. The name's Kage.
(edited by GiveIntoDespair)
Nice to meetcha, Hokage.
Off the robot cat goes! To be continued next time on Phansiteball Z! ...okay, it's really a separate thread, but still.
It's Kage to you, missy.
*Mayu raise both arms above her head*
CAN'T STOP ME, HOKAGE!
*Whispers under his breath* How arrogant... I like it. However, I need to test her first.
What you say?
I challenge you to a duel. If you win, you get to keep calling me Hokage, and I'll see you as my equal. However, if you don't win, you'll have to stop. Deal?
All this over a nickname? Well, if you if it's a battle you want.
*Mayu draws her 7 pointed sword, smiling.*
Then you better a fun opponent.
She scratches her head as she slowly wanders away, staring off into space.
"P-Perhaps someday these events will stop feeling so unusual to me..."
*The man discards of his scarf and coat, revealing a black shirt. Something seems off about his muscles, though. They seem a bit disfigured from what normal human muscles look like.
Yes, this will be fun. The most fun I've had in a while now, hopefully.
Ooh. You fight with your own strength, don't you? Really on skin and bone inplace of steel. I like that.
*Mayu get some distance and points her sword at Kage*
Whenever your ready, Hokage.
Go. *He rushes towards Mayu, reaching her and preparing for her first attack.*
*Mayu side steps Kage's charge, before swinging her sword, charged with electrical energy, at his head with a slight giggle.*
*Kage turns around quickly, and swings his arm at Mayu's sword, revealing wooden bracelets which were bound very tight to his skin. He blocks the attack, and then throws a fast right hook at Mayu.*
*Seeing the attack coming, Mayu throws her sword in the air, ducks the right hook, catches the sword with her off hand as she raises to her feet and swings upwards at Kage.*
OOC:Is this not the usual GYM I expect or is it?
OOC: It is a GYM thread where people fight. As you might be able to tell from the last several posts
*The slash barely reaches his forehead. The tip swiftly crosses it, leaving a small scar on his head.*
After Taking up a priority Target near the border of Japan. I Look around to see the GYM and then proceed to break the doors down and walk in "Well Well what do we got here today? Someone Alive? Or dead? Rundown on stuff please" I say as I walk over the broken doors and into the GYM.
Oww... you're going to pay for that. *Kage's hands form into black claws, and he cartwheels backwards before swiping into the air, sending a wave of red energy at Mayu.*
Nyah ha! How'd you like- uh oh
*Mayu is knocked back by the wave of energy. She quickly jumps back to her feet and fires multiple bolts of energy, using the points of her sword*
(edited by Mayu)
"Oookay... Which one of you and I betting on for This fight?" I smirk with a cocky grin.
*Kage rushes back at Mayu, swiping and knocking the bolts out of the air with his claws, which seem to be impenetrable.*
*Mayu flips over Kage's charge, landing and striking a pose, before slashing at his back with an electrically charged slash.*
Ole!
*Kage turns around again and switches fighting styles. He dodges out of the way of Mayu's slash, then tries to tackle Mayu.*
"Eh whatever...Tell me if someone Is sent to a hospital" I go to to check the Backrooms fridge and raid it for food due to Reasons.
*Mayu barely manages to dodge out of the way.*
Man. You're pretty damn relentless, Hokage.
Indiana would find Eito,completely focused on a video game.
"Ultra combo bitch..."
No matter if he was noisy or not,Eito didn't seem to notice Indiana.Until the fridge opened.
"Who are you,what the fuck are you doing here and most importantly,why are you raiding our fridge?"
"Better question is...Why do you let people break down the door? I mean Get a blast door That's more Important to ask" I look at eito with a Rice ball in my hand.
Did you expect any less from me? *Kage swipes twice, creating 2 more waves of red energy. He then starts running towards Mayu.*
*Mayu gets hit by the second wave after dodging the first, getting knocked back. She then sees Kage charging and mumbles to herself*
Not gonna do it.
*Mayu then plunges her sword into the ground, electrifying the floor.*
"I put up 4 differenf locks and have replaced the current doors with reinforced ones."
"Not much more I can do. Anything else is on the owner."
Eito looks at the rice ball,irritated.He walks over to the fridge and closes it.
"If that wasn't delicious food that would go to waste,i'd slap that fucking thing right out of your hand."
He re-adjusts his glasses,his eyes red.
"Regardless,you didn't answer the question,fuckboy."
"Well for Starters....You try to Not get kicked out of a ramen shop or something" I Show my trademark Sword, The Rebellion And Spin it around showing I mean business.
"I'm not one to pick a fight but it's my exception when I hunt Demons."
Eito raises an eyebrow,his eyes turning slightly yellow,clearly not impressed.
"Yeah,that's cool and all that you have a dildo with a sharp edge and hunt demons or whatever but I don't see how any of that is my problem."
"My kitchen-and therefore my fridge-Is a place of worship of the human body. I can't let any random asshole march in and take whatever he wants."
*Kage lunges, landing on top of Mayu. He starts swiping unrelentlessly at Mayu's face.*
"Oh please I got no Business with you so this is something Over a single rice ball? I mean c'mon overdramatic"
Painpainpain PAIN!
*Mayu unleashes an electrical shockwave in order to knock off Kage. The scratches left by Kage's clawing leaves glowing yellow gashes before they heal entirely.*
RUDE!
"Food costs money,money which is limited."
"I spend quite a bit of cash on my food."
"I am also a vindictive,bored,overreacting asshole."
"So...Yeah."
*The shockwave sends Kage backwards.* Urghh.. nice job. It's time for phase 2, though. *Kage's hands suddenly form into silver blades. He uses them to get up then he slashes again into the air, creating waves of energy even faster than the last ones.*
"Demon Slayer,Who has Alot of Weaponry and Someone you don't wanna mess with"
Fine then.
*Mayu cracks her neck, letting the waves of energy fly right past her. She then thrusts her sword rapidly, sending a number of orbs of energy towards Kage.*
A blue haired teen enters the possibly door less GYM with his hands in his pockets
"It looks like this place isn't as packed as last time."
*Kage strikes the orbs out of the air. He's waiting for Mayu to come to him.*
"Teenager,who has a death wish and literally gives no fucks."
"Your turn."
*Mayu continues to stay at a distance walking around in a large circle around Kage, launches orbs of electricity one after another at multiple angles as she does so, waiting to see how long it will take for her opponent to make a move.*
*Kage dodges the orbs, and sends his arm/blade straight into the floor.*
*Mayu stabs her sword into the ground and makes a "come at me" gesture, with a smirk*
Jiyu walks over to Eito and Dante while watching the fight
"Hey Eito, and uhh, other person. What's up?"
"Argument over a rice ball ironicly"
"Yeah,I don't know what i'm doing at this point."
Eito turns back to face Indiana.
"Irony is that if you had asked nicely and said please,then i'd let you have some."
(edited by Eito)
Zero teleports to the GYM,
"I need to practice some techniques"
He then leans on the wall, arms crossed while waiting for an opponent
"Now that has to be one of the most random things I've heard today..."
Some of his hair gets in the way of his right eye so he brushes it back up with his hand
Zero notices Jiyu and Eito talking with Indiana,
"Hey, are you guys waiting for a fight or something?" He says as he walks towards them
OOC: sorry, gtg
OOC: I'll have to continue this later
Jiyu looks over to Zero
"Nah, I'm just chilling here. I might fight later though."
"Hm, count me when you are ready."
Zero then goes back to leaning against the wall.
*Urumi enters the GYM after all of the madness that had happened*
*Setsuna follows in behind Urumi*
Are you okay, Urumi-chan?
(edited by Eito)
*Urumi just sits down somewhere and just sighs*
[Teddie walks into the GYM, tons of dice fall out of his pockets.]
I heard something might be happening heeeere.
Jiyu turns to all of the new arrivals
"Oh look, more people decided to show up."
Umm... Urumi-chan...
I was really scared when you went missing... I really feel like our souls are similar... In all the time I've been here, I've never known someone i can relate to as much as you... You're special...
*Setsuna smiles, blushing as she looks at Urumi. She's so caught up in her rant she doesn't see Teddie come in*
A white moth sits on the wall of GYM. It knows what's about to happen. It just waits.
[Teddie's head slowly turns to where Setsuna is, he looks just a tiny bit disappointed.]
Hmmmmm....
*Her fight stuck in a time loop or something, Mayu comes over to Urumi and Setsuna, sneaking up behind the two and yelling*
HIYA!
Teleports in.
I don't know what's going on but it seems like the cool thing to do so I'm going to pretend I know what's going to happen and wait.
*Urumi looks at Set*
how would you knew I went missing after a 1 hour?
*Urumi just sighs and turns around*
That's not going to scare me Mayu, since Jit always does that to me
A wasp seems to appear in the air behind Genm, buzzing angrily, no one is sure why it is angry.
Perhaps it is simply a prick
Buzzzzzzz...
Aitome begins to walk in but sees something happening out of the corner of her eye, backtracking and hiding next to the door, just in earshot as she prepares something in her hands
Hopefully this won't mess up...
Dan waves his hand at the wasp.
Hey, don't be a prick. There's only room for one prick in this place and I've already shown up.
KYA!
*Setsuna squeals as Mayu shouts next to her*
Don't do that~! I feel like I was gonna die...
*She looks back at Urumi*
I had a feeling in my heart that you were in trouble, so I came running... I found a tank, so I used it to help you
..
*holds Urumi's hand*
Umm... Urumi-chan?
I feel you in my heart, and Christmas is coming, so... I wanna say... I love you.
The Wasp lands on Genm's armor, its buzzing grows slightly quieter
buzzz buzz buzzzz
The wasp seems to nod to Genm, before vanishing into thin air, leaving its legacy behind....
*Sigh* "Is there a training room or something around here, because I wanna test out my new weapons."
Jiyu takes out both of his silver brass knuckles from his pockets and puts them on his knuckles
We.... only know each other for one day...
*Urumi just looks at Set before fainting*
Oh, I see...
[Teddie looks disappointed as he takes out a pistol, he doesn't bother to put a silencer on it.]
You really are trash, so I guess I'm the garbage man.
[He aims at Setsuna and fires.]
Dan confusingly pats his suit which is not armor because he is Dan right now not Genm.
Well then. This is getting interesting. Anyone have popcorn?
*Aitome jumps out and throws her hands into the air, shooting small glowing beams everywhere of random colors before realizing that it didn't work
Hoora- wait... This wasn't supposed to happen... Um... Better luck next time Sailor?
*Ai then notices the bullet and stares in shock, taking a step back
W-what? What happened?!?
(edited by Aitome_Korichi)
Ah...?
*Setsuna holds her heart where she was shot*
She crumbles, bleeding the blood she couldn't bleed before. She smiled*
I got to feel love... And pain... And all of life's experiences...
Goodbye... Urumi-chan...
*Setsuna collapses forward alongside the fainted Urumi. She holds her hand as she takes her last breath, dying in her own blood as a human*
Hm.
At this display, the moth takes off, coming to rest on Teddie's shoulder.
So this is where your heart takes you... A gentle flower, plucked out of the ground. You... fascinate me.
Jiyu pulls out an un popped bag of popcorn from his ass and throws it over to Genm
"Here, there should be a microwave somewhere around here."
[Teddie looks sad...]
Oh what have I done....
[His frown quickly turns to a smile as he laughs loudly.]
Hah, I know DAMN WELL WHAT I DID.
Jiyu looks over to Setsuna's corpse with his eyes wide open
"Ooh, a punch bag!"
Jiyu then runs over to it and sends a barrage of punches to it
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!"
*Urumi wakes up and looks around*
The moth's aura pulses.
I can understand your unusual nature, Teddie, but this child... he plays with the corpse like a toy. He is evil as well.
It seems to sigh.
Humans are despicable creatures. At least the childish one has sorrow for its own kind.
..what?
Aitome can barely move as she witnesses Setsuna die, her eyes darkening as she frowns, tears forming as she struggles not to cry
D-damn... It... Not again... Can't I change anybody's fate? Nng...
Aitome then turns to the assailant, drawing a shortsword as it pulsates with dark energy, pure hate burning in her eyes
Well then. There is only one answer to this. You won't die for this. But you'll pay. I'll make sure of it. Come. Hate...
Aitome then runs over to Ted and attempts a slash with the blade,
leaving a trail of darkness behind her, the sword strike manifesting itself as a terrible claw as it tries to grip on and burn with a horrible pain
I never wanted to use this ability again. But I'll make an exception. This time.
*Mayu looks at Setsuna's corpse.*
Aw. I think I was going to like that person. Darn it.
[A d20 seems to have been rolling on the ground, it lands on 20 as Teddie simutainousely dodges and throws a very very flat looking tv onto the ground.]
Tsk tsk, don't you know the dice makes the rules?
*Urumi looks at Setsuna's dead body*
god, damn it... at least if I die from "her" you won't be a target of endless pain...
The moth seems to vibrate as it feels Aitome's pure hatred. It doesn't move, and simply stays on Teddie's shoulder as he dodges.
This hate... yes, you have tenfold what all present lack. Why is that?
Well, well, well.
Dan produces a blank Gashat from his pocket and points it towards Setsuna.
This may be handy for the future...
Jiyu overhears the moth and turns over to it after stopping his barrage of punches
"I'm not evil, I'm just doing this because I can't find a training room. So if you'll excuse me..."
Jiyu then continues his barrage of punches to the corpse
*Urumi looks at Jiyu and points him to a punching bag*
dont punch the body punch the bag that is ment for punching
