Trouble is Brewing!? The First Junkie Appears!!
[The night was just as you'd expect on a January evening in Tokyo. The air was cool and still, people lined the streets as they finish the last of their shopping, and the moon peeked through the clouds as if it were keeping an eye on the goings on below.] [However, all was not as it seemed. A more careful eye could see a shadowy figure atop a large businesses building. From the figure's arm came a stream of thick clouds that would break off and join the others in the sky. The figure would nod at its work before pointing down towards the streets below. The clouds would follow the figure's arm and begin to descend upon the unknowing pedestrians below.] [Having little time to react to the descending smog, the pedestrians are unfortunately subjected to the vile cloud as they begin coughing and gagging as it fills their lungs. However, nothing violent happens. No blood, no gore, no death. Instead, as the pedestrians breathe out, they feel a wave of giddiness wash over them as their legs begin to wobble. It would seem that the smoke did little more than soothe the pedestrians and slow their motor functions. Those who were in vehicles were smart enough to stop driving immediately as the effect took hold.] [A villainous laugh can be heard as the figure leaps off the building and lands on the street below. The figure, now illuminated by streetlights, could be seen as a monstrous looking man with a large green leaf on his back. His arms were without human features, instead having a tobacco pipe for his right arm and a flamethrower for his left. His cloud remains in the area as he begins stalking towards a jewellery store.]
Homura can be found leaping from building to building... As usual really. She'd fail to spot anything, right up until the smoke is in a rather large cloud that is. "What the? Some kind of... I don't even know with this one, some kind of leaf guy with a cigar arm and a flamethrower one? What the heck is this madness!?" Despite her utter confusion, she's not naive enough to think he's doing anything but trying to rob that store... Still, that thing uh could be a human? She's not willing to shoot for the kill, and instead would keep hopping roofs till she's on the jewellery store, from there leaping down and conjuring her Katana, she'd point it at the man while standing in front of the doorway, aiming to sound as threatening as a 14 year old girl can hope to. "I um, don't really know how to do this whole speech to a villain thing really, I mostly just slaughter mindless monsters so. I you could be something like that it'd be nice! But, that laughing says you're something human-ish, in which case I'm offering you a chance to surrender now! Before I have to hurt you!"
Kotori sees the leaf man, and rushes towards him, her wind enchantment pushing away any fog that she goes near A plant person! HEY! PLANT PERSON! GIMME YOUR SEEDS!
Izumi waked upon the scene of the giddy and disoriented citizens. Taking a moment to assess the situation, even looking at her watch. Hmm... nothing is wrong here, yet something is very wrong.... She then notices the Magical Girl and Kotori by the Jewelry store, following after them...
(edited by Izumi)
Rise had been presumably walking home as the smog befell the area. She was only a few feet away from the jewelry store when it began to take an effect on her. Man... what the heck is up with this weather tonight? Letting out a few coughs, she'd lean up against the wall of a building, in order to try and steady herself, across the street from the soon to be victimized store, hoping whatever has befallen her will pass. Unfortunately her night seems to only be starting as the others show up and the villain reveals himself. What in the world? Homura-chan is that you!?
Homura looks over at Rise with a grimace, she'd in fact rush in front of the older girl while keeping her blade pointed at the monster. "Yeah, it's me... I guess I've never really said what I call a "job" huh? Um anyway, just stay behind me Rise-chan! I'll keep you safe so there's nothing to worry about!" She'd look back at Rise for a moment, a bright smile crossing the young girl's face as attempts to be reassuring. She's not sure what she's dealing with, but despite that Homura sounds fairly confident in herself. After that, she'd go back to eyeing her foe, both hands on her sword as she prepares to spring into action.
The creature flinches at the approach of the women. Hanging its head in defeat it falls out of its monster form and into that of an elegant and beautiful woman. Her features would indicate she was around the twenty mark, but her eyes were that of an older woman. She wears a sparkling red dress that goes all the way down her long legs and stopping where her black knee high boots start. She wears several pieces of jewelry from her earrings, necklace, and myriad rings. "Ara ara. Such miserable brats. Don't you know it's not nice to hassle a lady? Woe is me and my cursed popularity." She inhales deeply at the fumes still very present in the air. Homura and the others couldn notice how bloodshot her eyes were. But they didn't only notice that. Those who didn't stop themselves from breathing in the smoke would begin to feel slightly dizzy. The woman smirks as she hears another woman behind her. "My, my...this is quite the girl's night out~!" She spins on her heel and flashes everyone a smile. "My name is Mary Jane. I hope we can all get along~! I wouldn't want to hurt such pretty faces~!"
Mary Jane, huh? Izumi would hold her head for a moment, before grabbing a green half-gem out of her bag, and covering her mouth and nose with an arm. Her voice now somewhat muffled. So much for subtlety, huh? Any middle schooler would know what that stands for.
Tch! I wanted seeds! What are you doing, Why, and how many times do I have to cut you to get my seeds? Kotori draws her sword, pointing it at the woman
Rise is relieved that the ever-so cute Homura stepped up to be her heroine. She couldn't do much besides stand behind her and watch but luckily their villain tonight has yet to make her move anyway. Gee Homura-chan, I wouldn't have pinned you as the heroic type. Color me surprised, huh? Watching as the monstrous figure transformed into... a pretty lady would feel oddly familiar to Rise. It's not like she hasn't seen how shadows act before but that's usually inside of the TV rather than out in reality. That is, if this woman is even a shadow. What's your deal lady? This isn't some late night party so what the heck are you up to with this smoke!?
Homura's not forcing herself not to breathe, but she's also not really bothered by the effects of this crap either. Magical Girls aren't quite human to begin with, so why should drugs work on them? "A lady huh? Sorry, but you look more like a monster from where I'm standing... So, this is the part where we start fighting each other right? Um, hopefully I can take you in alive, I've never had to fight many people, but um I won't let you hurt anybody!" She groans at Kotori... Geez seeds? Hobbies are nice and all, but is this really the time for that? As for what, it seems fairly clear to Homura what's going on here. "I presume she's here to rob this store Rise-chan, or that's the only reason I can think of for such a thing... Isn't that right, Marry Jane?" Despite not liking it, she's not willing to strike first against something this akin to a human... Geez, it's so much easier with Witches, former people or not, death is nothing but mercy for such beings. This? She seems sane enough really.
A man, or something of that nature watches the action unfold from above, a rare frown plastered on his usually face as opposed to the usual wistful smile. My, is this not a shock? Once again, humanity is challenged. Once again, I shall watch as they overcome. Though, perhaps watching is losing its luster for one such as I, who does nothing but watch. He chuckles to himself, before descending from the spot in the sky he had been floating in; and touching down just behind the group. As-if to say he was supporting them, though perhaps not directly. Ah, Homura Akemi. I do believe this will be our second outing together, no? Let us make it one to remember.

"Oh this? I just forgot my vape tonight...silly me~! And Rise-chan, hm? What an adorable name." The woman steps away from the door and towards the street with a look of annoyance at Kotori's words. "What seeds are you on about? A child with a one track mind like yours should be in bed early!" She stretches her arms forward as she looks at Izumi. "I'll have you know it was a horrible coincidence that my name coincided with my powers...but whatever." She takes in another deep breath of the smoke, seemingly taking in an inhuman amount. About ten seconds would pass before she exhales and responds to Homura. "I'm only here to stir up enough trouble for my precious coffee boy to appear and stop me~!" She blushes heavily as she speaks. "But I suppose hurting some innocents is just as good as robbing a bank. Come quietly my pretties~! Henshin~!" As the woman speaks that last word, her body begins to morph into that of the creature from before. "Ara~! Come on then!" The creature bounds towards the least likely to fight back, Rise. The creature would attempt to get behind her and hold her as a hostage.
A familiar man with short silver hair and a serious yet passive expression would be watching from a distance. He would seem to be trying to decide how to react to the strange haze overtaking the city and would soon notice the others with a strange woman. Rather than acting rashly he chooses to keep his distance but ready himself in the case that this woman was hostile. "Awful strange night for this many people to be taking a walk together. Right, I should stay back for now. If they haven't noticed me yet I could use that to my advantage." Yu would place one hand on his sword while the other would form a subtle but glowing blue card hopefully hidden by the haze. He would try his best not to breath in the haze but there could only be so much he could do to avoid it. Though his reaction would change upon noticing the creature taking Rise Hostage. He didn't even know she was there through the haze but now he wouldn't hesitate anymore. "Let her go! Or you'll get to see me when I'm really upset! Izanagi-no-Okami!" In a flash of blue light the persona would appear in a flowing white cape and with a two sided blade firmly grasped within its hand. The blade would seem to float in front of it as it began spinning faster and faster until a flurry of wind would surround Yu and his Persona. He would pull out his Katana and point it at the creature with a hard glare.

Second... Oh, Al-san was there when she helped Aitome wasn't he? How odd to see him again, but she won't complain about it. Either way, she smiles and nods at the man. "Yeah, I've gotten way better since back then! So hopefully I'll be more useful this time... Though, I guess I did help with the talking some at that time, or I'd like to think so." Rushing toward Rise huh? Did this idiot forget about the girl with a sword pointed at her who's standing in front of Rise? Tch, Homura aims to stab her blade into the thing's gut, purple energy flowing around the weapon to increase it's durability and cutting power. Assuming she hit, Homura would drag the sword up through her foe's chest before trying to kick at her and rip it out. "I'm your foe, not Rise-chan, got that you drug addled idiot?" At this point, Homura would actually sound fairly threatening despite not aiming to. Her voice coming out cold and detached... Treat it like a Witch hunt, don't focus on anything but making it out without anyone being hurt.
Pfft! Hostage Situation? Who do you think I am? Kotori throws two lightning enchanted, Lightning fast knives at the woman as she attempts to get behind the other girl
Ah, so it is mahou time. Well then, in your own words, henshin. Izumi brings the arm that isn't covering her mouth around, showing off a silver ring upon her hand. She takes the green gem from before and attaches it to the ring, giving it a quarter turn. T he gem would then dissipate into a green mist, swirling around Izumi before coalescing in a sort of futuristic flight suit. Tight, green with black accents, and accompanied with a black scarf to cover her mouth and nose with. The uniforming complete, she produces a card in her hand, the suit of swords. Using her other hand, she pulls a sword from the card and holding it threateningly toward the monster. Now, unhand that Idol!
Rise was up against the wall of the building across the street from the jewelry store so, at the very least, she'd hopefully avoid the hostage situation assuming it gets past Homura. I-it's coming right at us Homura-chan, watch out! She isn't so eager to summon her persona just yet, wanting to at least get to a safe distance away from Mary Jane. Hoping that Homura will be able to keep her at bay, Rise tries to move her way down the sidewalk a safe distance away from the conflict. Of course, if Homura isn't able to keep Mary Jane away then Rise would most likely be unable to escape her clutches and be taken hostage. What does this weirdo even want with me? Rise wasn't able to help but notice the familiar boy, that she had so admired, step up to join the battle. Feeling much more confident, hostage situation or not, she smiled brightly as she called his name. Yu-senpai!!
The man would snap his fingers, a burst of flame appearing in midair right where the creature was. Whether impaled on a sword or not. The blast was weak, likely meant more to scare her away from Rise than to cause permanent damage. Now now, it would be most unwise to engage this group head-on. Especially with the Seeker of Truth now counted among our ranks. He smiles briefly in Yu's direction, before turning his gaze back to what Mary Jane had turned in to.
The strikes do more than enough to halt the beast's progress. However they don't seem to do anything even though they hit home. "Please. You'll all need to do better than that... none of you come anywhere near that man~!" Her attention is pulled away by the appearance of Yu and the transformation of Izumi. "Yes. This is what I wanted! A fight with raw emotion!" Seeing as how underhanded tactics were off the table for the time being, the creature simply raises its left arm with purpose. "I'll show you what a Junkie is capable of you make believe Kamen Rider!" With a wave of the flamethrower, a torrent of flame is unleashed upon the party with those farther away getting barely licked by the flames. Behind the flames, the creature would charge towards Izumi and attempt to strike her midsection with her pipe arm. She'd spit out a response to Al as she does this. "You'd do well not to underestimate me, boy. A captain of Burner's great army will not fall so easily~!"
Yu would react right as the flames were released as Izanagi-no-Okami would begin spinning it's blade once again. This time a cold aura would form around the blade before unleashing a stream of icy shards as the blade spins round and round. The ice would be aimed directly at the fire as Yu himself would now take action and begin trying to intercept the creature's path. "Well, you asked for this so try not to hold anything against me, alright?" He would go for a clean vertical slash at the creature's side as it ran towards Izumi. After his attempted strike Yu would look back to Rise. "It's nice to see you too. We can talk more later but for now we better take care of this. Otherwise I'm afraid innocent people might get hurt."
Oof! Kotori's skin is burned by the heat, but the flames seem to not actually touch her skin ............... There seem to be plenty of people here... You guys don't need me. Too many people just get in the way anyway. Kotori begins walking away, waving at Homura Bye Homura-chan! See you later!
Homura smirks as a black card appears in front of her, she'd quickly slam her blade into it and cause black flames to roar up around her. A woman dressed like Homura appears, face covered in darkness with a broken clock in the middle of her chest, a black metal rod with a guillotine attached to the end is held in her hands. "Do better huh? Very well, I had hoped you wouldn't require the use of any of my larger stopping power, but I'm going to assume you can survive anti-tank rounds from now on." As the flames rush toward them, her Persona spins its rod around and winds begin to dance around her. Homulilly aiming to form a shield against the flames by blowing them back into her foe. Homura on the other hand, would send her blade back into her shield. A shotgun taking shape in the girl's hands as she rushes a bit closer to her foe, Homura's aiming to blast right into center mass of the monster as the same glow covers her gun, this enchantment raising the speed of her shots and making them pierce a bit cleaner. "Is this better enough? Or do I actually need the anti-armor rounds? I do keep a few of those on hand for more... Annoying targets." She'd then look at Kotori with a bit of shock, but utter a few parting words to her friend regardless... Seems like she should speak to that one sometime, but not now. Soul gem 3% dark from the enchantments.
Masked Rider? That television show? I'm no actress, I am the Mahou Shoujo of Inaba, Watcher of Time, Izumi! She may not claim to be a Kamen Rider, but she makes enough of a pose to at least earn honorable mention. Oh, and gets piped in the gut as she stumbles backward. Hmph, not fair, you're supposed to stand there and attack after I provide exposition. She reacts with a slash across the creatures midsection. Eye for an eye, yeeaaaah!
Thanks to a combination of his distance from Mary Jane and his innate resistance to fire, the man wasn't even fazed by the attack. He extends his arm, as metal, wire-like tentacles shoot out of his back and toward her as she hones in on Izumi. Three in total, all aimed right for her side, the same one Yu was slashing at. He was hoping to impale her and pin her to the concrete below, but seeing how resilient she was a moment ago it seemed unlikely that would work. It seems further talking would be a waste. You have forced my hand. I will not allow harm to come to the humans I adore so much.
Rise sighs with relief upon the realization that her teammates were able to keep it from getting her. Now at, what she assumed to be, a safe distance, she'd get a little singed from the few flickers of flame that reached her. Besides that, she was finally able to spring into action. Ngh... Hang in there everyone, I can help too! A blue card, similar to the likes that Yu had, would appear in her left hand. She'd put it together with her hand, breaking the card inbetween them as her persona, Kouzeon, appeared behind her. The womanly figure, with a telescope for a face, would place a visor down upon Rise's head. Show me what it's weak to Kouzeon! Focusing in on the monstrous Mary Jane, Rise would begin a full analysis in hopes of uncovering anything she can pass along to her teammates in order to defeat her.
The slash from Yu allowed Al's attack to actually stagger Mary to the right, as her skin wasn't pierced just yet, and unfortunately give her little time to respond to the slash from the front or the shots from the back, however the reflected fire would heal some of her wounds. The strikes would cause the creature to explode and go flying backwards with a shower of sparks. She stands once more with a menacing glare. "Alright~! That's it~! Hurt me more! MORE!" She crouches down slightly and the leaf on her back grows a brilliant shade of green. As it reaches maximum brightness, it begins launching a torrent of razor sharp marijuana leaves at the party. Should they get hit by any, it would administer the same effects as the smoke but directly into their bloodstreams. Kouzeon is able to sense that this monster is weak to ice with a smaller weakness to wind, she also absorbs fire. Lastly, Kouzeon would notice a strange power coming from the woman's pipe arm.
Yu would barely have time to block the razor leafs with his sword. The focus he has to take to block them would prevent him from being able to launch a counter attack but Izanagi-no-Okami would still stand tall behind him as it's blade once again began spinning rapidly around as a massive force begins surrounding it. "Can't do much when I'm on the defensive like this. I'll have to close some distance...Izanagi-no-Okami! Give me some cover!" The force around the blade would grow as a torrent of wind flowed forward towards the creature. Yu would attempt to use this pathway of wind to get closer while knocking away projectiles if it did prove to be effective.
Rise smiles brightly, pleased that the scan was a success. Armed with knowledge, she intends to share this information with her team. By share I of course mean yell it out loud for them to hear. I see... So ice then. Yu-senpai! Homura-chan! Er... the rest of you! Cool it with the fire attacks and put her on ice! Literally I mean! Also watch out for that weird pipe thing! Of course the razor leaves wouldn't escape her sights either, forcing her to re-position. The visor lifts and she tries to round the corner of the building she had been standing next to in order to avoid the leaves. She manages to but not without at least one of them hitting her in the leg. Agh! Stupid plants, this is the kind of thing a gardener should be dealing with! Although she might not escape the effects, she does pull the thing out of her leg and set up once more with Kouzeon. Having completed her scan of the enemy's weaknesses, she decides it best now to try and get a better read on just how powerful that pipe is.
Put her on ice, huh? Izumi puts the agility boosting power of Air Form to good use, flipping out of the way of the razor leaf, and producing another card. The Empress. The card glows for a moment before a chill starts to surround Ms Jane, a prelude to the sudden appearance of spiked.... well, spikes of ice. Looking like some kind of crown, beneath her feat. *looks at clock.* *suddenly and without warning passes out upon seeing what the time is.*
The leaves cut the man's skin and clothing here and there, revealing not blood underneath, but an endless blue expanse, resembling a nebula. The inhibiting effects of the leaves do nothing to him however, thankfully. He sets his sights on the leaf, maybe that could be worth hitting? He sends the wires to jam into the leaf, wrapping around her to do so. If she isn't distracted, they probably won't be too hard to simply smack away.
Homura,'s shield clicks as the attacks fly toward them. 1 second, she jumps into the air and switches her shotgun for an assault rifle, 2 she's falling down to the ground near their foe, trying to evade by reaching the eye of the storm, 3 her rifle's aimed at the woman's legs and her hand's on the trigger, 4 her gun blazes, blasts of ice dust flying from it and aiming to freeze her legs down to the ground, they'd grow into small crystals upon hitting, and 5 shots would hover in the air before time resumes after 5 seconds total of timestop. "So, how do you like that skill? actually... I wonder if you can guess how it works? I won't give any hints of course, not to an enemy." Soul Gem 10% dark.
Yu closes the gap with ease as his tunnel of wind allows him to bat away the remaining leaves in no time. Izumi would strike the creature and she'd stagger backwards in a bit of a daze. Speaking of time, it was like it took none at all for Homura to appear before Mary. Her legs now frozen in place, she glares at the girl. "Ara~? You're one of those people? My superior would just eat you up~!" She quickly slams her flamethrower arm across Homura's stomach before blasting her with fire, taking a deep breath as she does. She exhales as the wires begin to approach her, this causes the pipe on her right arm to let loose a cloud of smoke that acts as a sort of shield. However, one of the wires gets through and wraps around the girl. "Naughty, naughty~! Tying me up like this... at least buy a lady dinner first~!" Rise's head begins to feel somewhat cloudy, but Kouzeon would be able to pinpoint what it is the pipe is capable of. It seems that all of Mary's power comes from there, and in fact, that pipe is the reason she can transform into a monster in the first place.

The man smiles, having finally restrained the woman. Well, perhaps the time to put this tete-a-tete to an end. I apologize if this hurts. Icicles manifest around the monster, hovering in midair briefly before honing in on her. They're noticeably weaker than even the fire from earlier.
Yeah that's how you do it! Man... is everything spinning or is it just me? Starting to feel the effects of Mary Jane's leaves, Rise's body starts to feel a little heavy. The visor came off as she leaned against the building's wall for support. H-her arm! Er... the pipe one I mean! That's what gives her her power. Rise figures she should take it easy this turn. Having, for the most part, figured out as much as she could about her enemy, she entrusts it to her teammates.
At this point she's panicked, flames burning bits of the girl's body and clothing to ash. As the wire shoots out however, her shield's already clicking again and time grinds to a halt, "Okay, I'm done playing nice crazy lady. Time to bring the pain for real now." Homura walks to the pipe arm, that clip should have... 5 rounds left. in 2 seconds she's already at her foe's back, and in another 2 the girl has burned another 5 round burst into the side of the woman's power source, icy blasts flowing freely from the gun and again stopping mid-air, from Mary's view it'd be like she blinked and suddenly got slammed into with a ton of her weakness as time resumes. "Now, if my drug affected friend can be trusted, I believe we should be done with this little game yes?" Despite it likely being over, she's still aiming her gun toward their foe and backing away a bit, she's ready to keep firing on the pipe if needed, but she'd rather not have to. Soul gem 15% dark.
The icicles all strike the woman and they pierce her skin with ease. The sudden strikes would leave her well enough open for Homura's barrage on the pipe. The attacks all cause the woman great pain as she lets out a piercing shriek and falls out of her transformation. "So...this is the power Burner will be opposing from now on?" She coughs loudly as she clutches at her chest. "Ara~! I can't wait to see you all again...it's a real shame the barista in shining armor didn't come to your rescue. Maybe next time~?" Another cough would send more of the smoke from before out of the woman's mouth and into the air. As it clears, she is nowhere to be found. As most Toku villains tend to do. OOC: My bad for the delay. Life hit me like a truck.
