Sam's Lab: Learning the Terrain
*Once again, Sam sets up a portal in east Shibuya. He pulls a chair out of it and places a sign down before sitting down, opening a book and reading. The sign reads as following.* Wanted: test subjects for a new invention. Do apply if you suffer from motion sickness. Warning: Possible loss of life if applying. Be prepared for combat.
A man in semi organic armor and a twin tailcoat underneath the armor walks to the portal while holding bag of food. What is this?

A teenager wearing a red jacket with his hood up notices the portal and hums to himself, walking over to Sam. "Doing this again, buddy?"
Sam
It's an experiment. I made a thing. Want to test it out. It's a combat field manipulator, applying differant properties for different environments that change with a press of a button or by the action individuals perform in combat. Wanna try? *Sam looks over at Eito* What can I say? I get bored easily.
The moment Sam said combat the warlock have half his body in the portal. Let her rip!
"And when you get bored, you invent potentially deadly things and then let people test them?" Eito raises an eyebrow skeptically before smiling. "Nice." He then puts both hands in his pockets and casually walks into the portal.
Sam
Alright then. You two'll do. I'll leave the sign outside if anyone's curious enough to join in mid experiment. *Sam adds a line to the sign before entering his lab.* All interested please enter the portal. Prepare for imminent danger.
Eito turns to face Geist, one hand resting on Tyrfing's silver hilt already. "You excited, big guy? The shit he can come up with is amazing." He chuckles and tightens his gloves absentmindedly.
He backs up away the portal while he sharpens a silver axe. Yes! A legitament chance for me to learn my dexterity on axes just like my mother!
Sam
*In the portal is the testing ground for Sam's lab, a large metal coliseum with a large marionette like robot hanging from the roof. Windows line the top of the coliseum for spectators to watch the fight and at the far end of the field is a large area with many computers. This is where Sam teleports over to. Below the window is Mayu, her 7 pointed sword resting on her shoulder with a smirk on her face.* I'll have Mayu fight you this time around. Every turn the arena will change. If my calculations are correct, this should also cause multiple effects as well that will alter the flow of battle. Mayu: And if we do something stupid, the arena will change in response, so be careful with what moves you make. As she said. So, anything else you want to know or are you ready to begin?
This reminds me of the Deeprealm my dad Spectre raised me in... Nohr still has that 300k gold bounty on Rep for smashing the place... found out that people who walks into a Royal Deeprealm and causing damage is illegal. He readies his axe by lifting it and it one his shoulder by one hand. Anywho I am ready for the sparring!

Eito lowers his hood, revealing his glowing red eyes and graying hair. An easy grin is plastered onto his face. "No questions here. I'm ready for a fight!" His eyes glow more intensely for a second before returning to their previous state as he draws his two pistols, flipping them around a bit.
Sam: The I'll leave it to my lovely assisstant. Battle begin! --Battle Start.-- Eito- 100% Geist- 100% Mayu- 100% Current Field: Neutral No Differences from normal combat Status: Permanent (All stages unless stated) --Player Phase--
The instant the fight starts, Eito dashes to the right, firing freely with both guns at Mayu, looking pretty bloodthirsty at the moment. "Let's see how this goes!"
Geist creates a orb of purple light and rams it into his chest, causing his body glow with a veil of the light to surround him. Set up the void armor just to make sure to brace the impact. Void Armor: All incoming damage is reduced to 75%
--Enemy Phase-- *As Geist raises his defence, Mayu smirks at Eito. She blocks some of the incoming bullets with her blade, though a few still cut at her arms.** Eito- 100% Geist- 100% Mayu- 95% Sam: Shifting field. The woods this time of year. Field Change: Forest --Field Analysis-- Wind Attacks: X2 Healing effects doubled: Dia 20% → 40%. Diarama 40% → 80%. Recarm 50% → 100% Status changing abilities increased by 1 stage Poison and sleep status attacks become 100% if they aren’t nullified. Changes to Burning Field if a multi targeting fire attack is used Changes to a Toxin Field if multi targeted Poison status moves are used. Heh heh. I like this place. Now, have at you. *Mayu swings her sword, unleashing a wave of flames. The flames heads straight at the two but also hits the trees, setting them ablaze.* Oops Sam: God damn it... Field Change: Burning --Field Analysis-- Fire Attacks: X2 Ice Attacks: X0.5 Attack status changing abilities increased by 1 stage Transformed into a Flooded Field if a multi targeting water attack is used Transformed into a Blazing Field is a Heavy or higher wind attack is used --Actions-- Plasma Wave (Heavy Fire Damage to all foes) --Player Phase--
Eito takes a moment to stare at the woods that suddenly overtook the arena, his focus only broken once the wave of fire flies towards him. He dashes at the closest tree as tiny bayonets push themselves out of the underside of the pistols, which he stabs into the tree repeatedly to get further up before kicking off of it and flying above the flames, breaking his fall with a roll. "Perfect execution, as expected!" With nary a moment passing after his words, the guns return to their holsters as he draws both his blades, Tyrfing engulfed in magical flames and Murgleis in cursed energy. Immediately after, be sprints at Mayu and attempts to slash at her with both weapons. Eito attempts to deal Light Fire & Cursed Damage to Mayu.
Well... this escalated very fast. I love the unpredicted ans this a fine example. He creates some spell casting circles similar to a dark mage, and fire orbs of fire manifests and circles Mayu. Ragnorok!! The orbs begins to spin rapidly and all five suddenly crash into Mayu following a massive explosion. Ragnorok: Heavy fire damage with a mid chance to burn.
--Enemy Phase-- *Mayu laughs as the flames hit her. Despite theit increased intensity, it seems Mayu isn uneffected by the blaze.* Flames can't touch me. Ha ha ha. YA HA HA!! MWUHAHA- *Then she's hit by Eito'd Murgleis and is knocked backwards.* Oww... Meanie. I was doing a bit. Eito- 100% Geist- 85% Mayu- 85% Heh heh. Still, this is getting fun. Sam: I won't the field if you all change it for me. Keep that in mind. So you won't correct my mistake? Sam: Not a chance Tch. Lame. Fine then. I got this. *Mayu ignites her blade with plasma. She fires a beam of the flaming energy straight at Eito. The field makes the flames burn even hotter than they normally would, increasing their intensity.* Hell yeah. The fires of hell shall engulf you. Tee hee hee. Sam: That was baaaaad. --Actions-- Plasma beam (Heavy Fire Damage to 1 foe. Target: Eito) --Player Phase--
That was a bad pun... but hey, chill out! ...that was also a bad pun as well... good thing Mitama isn't here... He uses another magic circle which causes a massive snow storm to manifest. Diamond Dust: Deals severe Ice damage to 1 foe.
Eito attempts to jump backwards and dodge but the close proximity to Mayu when she attacks makes sure he can't avoid it. Sure, he may have been paranoid enough to get fireproof clothing but the same cannot be said for his body, which, as Resistant as it is to Fire, still hurts like hell. This pain motivates Eito to jump up and move away quickly. "Gotta give it to you, as lame as your one liners are, that was a pretty good hit!" Seeing no effect on her, Eito sheathes Tyrfing and once again grabs one of the pistols, shooting at her from a distance again. Eito's Resistance to Fire Damage negates the terrain bonus to Mayu's attack. He returns to shooting at her.
--Enemy Phase-- *Mayu shivers as the blizzard surrounds her. * Cold. Cold! *Mayu is too cold and is hit by Eito's shot as the blizzard dies down* Gah! You're both being mean! Eito- 75% Geist- 85% Mayu- 70% Sam: Time for a change of scenery. To the sea with you all. *The arena changes. A lake appears next to them and snd crunches beneath the fighters feet. The lakes surface is frozen and covered with snow. Mayu almost falls over as the ground beneath her feet shifts* --Field analysis-- Ice Attacks: X2 Water Attacks: X2 Agility automatically decreased by 1 stage Transformed into a Flooded Field by a Heavy or higher fire attack Transformed into a Snow Field by a Heavy or higher earth attack *Note: Ice and water resistances are shared unless you state otherwise. *Note: Earth and Physical resistances are shared unless you state otherwise Gah! A little warning next time. Sam: What do you think I just gave you? Forget you. *Mayu plunges her blade in the ground. The ground beneath Geist rumbles and cracks before an explosion of plasma erupts from benath his feet.* Shocking, ain't it? Sam: Still really bad. --Actions-- Field Change: All combatants get -1 AGILITY stat Plasma Eruption (High Electric damage to 1 foe. Target: Geist.) Current Stats: 0/0/-1 --Player Phase--
After taking a moment to stop himself from slipping and falling, Eito sheathes Murgleis as well and draws his other pistol, getting rid of the clips of both, quickly reaching into his jacket and grabbing twom more, which have a blue tint. "Alright now, Ice Dust. Don't put any part of your body near the barrels..." Eito continues mumbling to himself advice on how to handle his own ammunition, taking aim at Mayu and shooting with boths guns once again, slowly sliding backwards. The bullets creating large amounts of ice wherever they hit. Ice Dust: Deals Medium Ice Damage.
Geist twitches to the electricity but the void armor begins to crack. I wish your assistant will not make any more puns. I am getting a legit headache. He readies his silver axe and out of nowhere he strikes at Mayu with fast and percise hits. Astra (Parent Skill of Spectre): Does 5 consecutive hits while each having a moderate chance to deal a critical strike.
--Enemy Phase-- *Mayu dodges one of Eito's bullets. Or so she thinks. As the bullet explodes next to her, she is sent flying, sliding on her ass across the frozen lake. She is then sent even further across the lake by Geists stirkes* Eito- 75% Geist- 65% Mayu- 50% Sam: I hate nature *In another flash of light, the party is transformed into a factory. Machines whir to life around them and workers appear to be watching the fight as everyone continues to battle.* --Field Analysis-- Electric Attacks: X2 Water based attacks becomes electric based attacks Agility status changing abilities increased by 1 stage Becomes a Ruin Field if a multi targeting Earth based move is used *Mayu looks around as she rises to her feet.* Woah. Duders. Sam: It's all an illusion. Don't worry. No problems there, Boss. *Mayu leaps into the air and rain orbs of plasma down on the field, laughing like a maniac all the while.* Sam: No bad pun this time? Couldn't think of one. --Actions-- Field Change. Plasma Rain (2-5X medium fire hits to all foes) Current Stat: 0/0/-1 --Player Phase--
his void armor shatters but he smiles under his helmet. Impressive plasma storm. But I can top that off with my own and I practiced this for months! he leaps and hovers in the air and he starts shooting wrecking ball sized and unstable stars at Mayu. Novabomb Blitz: x5 Heavy Nuclear damage.
Eito barely pays any attention to the change of scenery as he dashes inbetween the balls of plasma, confident in his ability to dodge them all. He forgot to take into account his lessened Agility, which eventually makes him trip and fall. He rolls and gets up quickly but in the few seconds it takes him to do so, two of the balls of plasma still hit him, making him hiss in pain as he stares up at Mayu balefully. He takes a moment to judge distance before shaking his head and looking at Geist. He places one gun back in it's holster and raises his empty arm, red eyes turning yellow. "Persona!" As his hand curls around the blue card that magically appears in it, A large suit of bronze, hellenic looking armor covered by a crimson cloak and holding a spear taller than even itself bursts out of the blue flames that manifest around him. "Odysseus, give him a hand, won't you?" The Persona raises it's spear as Geist suddenly feels much more powerful. Rebellion: Increase one Ally's critical rate for 3 Turns.
--Enemy Phase-- *Mayu dodges around, avoiding most of the starts blasts. However she is caught off guard by one, knocking her backwards* Eito- 60% Geist- 50% Mayu- 30% *Mayu staggers backwards, chuckling.* Seems I have to get serious. I call upon the contract. *Light shines behind Mayu as a man with crimson armour, blond hair and a flowing purple cape appears. He glares at Eito and Geist.* Caesar: Say no more Praetor. I shall crush these foes *Caesar's blade gleams with a golden light as Caesar charges his power.* Now you're gonna get it. Mwu ha ha ha. *Note: Mayu and Caesar share a health bar. Hitting both will not do double damage. --Actions-- Power Charge (Next physical attack does 1.5X damage) Current Stat: 0/0/-1 --Player Phase--
Eito takes a moment to stare at Caesar before nodding to himself, pointing at him. "How about you use your spear to test how strong that guy is?" Odysseus responds to this vaguely threatening order by dashing straight at Caesar, attempting to thrust the bronze spear into his enemy's center mass. Giant Slice: Medium Physical Damage to 1 foe.
Taking out the personas are we? he reaches into his pocket and holds out a chunk pf jade gemstone. Crota! I am handing the reigns to you! A pillar of green flames engulfs Geist and what emerges from the spire pf flames is the Ascendant Hive prince, Crota. Crota's Presence: Ally and Enemy stats are reduced by 2
--Enemy Phase-- *Caesar deflects Odysseus' spear with his off hand, leaving a cut on the back of his hand that quickly heals.* Hmmph. What a weak copy of Ithaka's king. Not even worthy of my blade. *He then glares at Crota, feeling it's presence. He simply sneers. It seems it wasn't as effective on Caesar as Geist may have wanted it to.* Eito- 60% Geist- 50% Mayu- 20% Sam: I can stop if you've had enough Mayu. N...Never. Go, Caesar. Caesar: You needn't ask, Praetor. My sword shall rend your foes limb from limb, It is a blade of that serves everyone under my banner and slays all opposed to it. This blade shall be your undoing, barbarian. Fall to me. CROCEA MORS! *With that speech, Caesar charges at Geist, slashing at Geist with reckless abandon with his glowing, golden blade, Crocea Mors. A single blow would do serious damage. All five landing would surely spell certain death. Or Certain unconciousness, at the very least.* --Actions-- Crocea Mors (Heavy Physical Damage X5 to one foe. Target: Geist.) Current Stat: -1/-1/-2 --Player Phase--
Crota glares at Ceaser with his 3 ever glowing jade eyes. Crota: Come at me emperor of Rome, for our battle shall be legendary! The prince of the Hive conjures up a Hive relic, the blade of the Taken King, Willbreaker. Crota charges at Caeser with brutality force. Willbreaker: 2x Heavy Physical damage with a chance to inflict a bleed effect.
In response to Caesar, the near mute Persona seems to glare at him, despite being nothing but a suit of armor. It also takes the opportunity to do this to Crota the instant the effects of his appearance are felt. "Well, ain't he a tough prick? We don't exactly need to fight him though, do we?" Eito snaps his fingers and Odysseus disappears, engulfed in blue flames. The Persona User smirks, drawing Murgleis and feeling up the pistol loaded with Ice Dust. "Here we go again." Eito starts sprinting straight towards Mayu, emptying the remaining 7 or so Ice Dust bullets left in the clip as he gets closer. The instant he gets within striking range, he stands still for a moment, readying an attack, before lunging at her, slashing wildly with Murgleis. Eito attempts to deal Light Ice & Cursed Damage to Mayu.
--Enemy Phase-- *Caesar blocks the strikes with the first two hits of his Crocea Mors combo before slashing at Crota 3 more times, laughing* Caesar: Ha. Do you think an insect is worthy of challenging me? You think too highly of your self, imbecile. *However, as Caesar is cutting down Crota and Mayu is focused on watching Caesar's back, she is unfocused on watching her own, and is quote in Eito's flurry of strikes. Gah! Eito- 60% Geist- 20% Mayu- 1% PROTECT *Mayu falls to her knees.* I... yield. Caesar: Until next time Praetor. *Caesar impales Crota one more time, finishing it off, before vanishing in a flash of light.* --Battle End--
Sam
*Sam returns to the main combat arena as the illusion from the terrain device vanishes, returning the arena to the metal colliseum Gesit and Eito first arrived to.* Well, that went well. Mayu: Ow... speak for yourself. Marietta. Help. *A drone appears above Mayu. It lowers to arm level before injecting her with a potion that raises her HP back to max before recloaking.* Thanks to you all I gathered valuable data. I offer my sincere gratitude.
Eito chuckles to himself as he takes his blade away from Mayu, sheathing it and his pistol and offering a hand to her, speaking to Sam without looking at him. "To be honest, your gratitude isn't worth much to me, Sam, but this was pretty damn fun, even if i'm sure to feel all the burns by morning."
Crots combust into green flames and burns away and Geist gets up with a giant hole showing that he and the Hive prince shares a body. Jeez... does Caeser have a damn ego... but that was a good sparing... much to me having a hole in my stomach...
Sam
Well, my gratitude is all your getting, unfortunately. *Mayu climbs back to her feet.* Mayu: Smaller ego than some people I know. *Mayu glances at Sam.* Well, that's all my genius has for the both of you. Feel free to stick around for conversation. Not to long. I still have to streamline some of this data I've collected before I forget. Mayu: Old man. Demoted Mayu: Aww. Noooo.
"Boo." Eito chuckles lightheartedly for a moment before shaking his head and looking at Mayu. "So, was that your Persona or something? I've seen some different ways of summoning it but nothing like that."
Pffft... karma for you. And I need to get to my aunt Elise to patch this up... someone carry me home because I am loosing blood fassh... he falls to the ground and is out cold from blood loss shock.
Sam
Your lucky I have it locked in my portal device. *With a snap of his fingers, a portal opens beneath Geist, dropping him into the throne room of Nohr. If he's lucky.* Mayu: Not exactly. It's a contract summon. I made a contract with a god. I can call on him to help. He summons himself more often. It's fun.
Eito idly waves at Geist as he falls asay before looking back at Mayu. "Caesar's a God? Didn't read that in the history books."
Sam
He was deified by Augustus and is the ancestor of Venus and cupid. Supposedly. It's pretty vague. Mayu: Something about comets. I don't read history stuff. You should read up on him Mayu: He road an elephant over a river and conquered Persia. I know abut him. I don't get how mixed up 3 people into 1 right there. Mayu: I'm pretty talented. In all the wrong ways.
Eito hums to himself before turning around and walking towards the portal that brought him her, waving at the two. "Well, i'll leave you to your banter. I've got a couple burn wounds to treat and a few history books to read." And with that, Eito exits the scene.
