A Dungeon Dream: A Challenge To The Shadow Thieves
The faux Desco leaves a letter in the Shadow Thieves mailbox. It reads: "Dear Nighty Nuisances, enclosed in this letter are the coordinates to a dream I have created. I want you to fight me so I may learn the skills required to be a final boss. If you refuse, I will rain destruction upon the world of dreams!" The location in question would be a medival style fortress, with the entranced protected by a mote. Some rocks have formed upon the castle wall, providing a footing to reach higher ground. Crocodiles snap viciously within the waters, making swimming across a poor choice.
POOF! *A wild Jaguar Warrior holding a microphone appeared.* Hello peoples! It is I, JAGUAR WARRIOR! *Air horns can be heard in the distance.* I have arrived here uninvited to commentate this fight for youz all tonight! Hooray!
A man in a red jacket wanders into the air, there's a scowl on his face as he spots the moat filled with crocodiles. "Tch, so someone wanted to keep people out huh... Guess I can crash this party, I've got nothing better to do." He'd reach into his coat, quickly pulling a frag grenade out and pulling the pin before he tossed it into the water near the crocs. As it explodes, a silver 50 Cal revolver would appear in his hands. Aimed towards the water to pick off survivors. "If there's an obstacle, send it straight to hell.k
"Aye Yo, color commentator Tot here comin' at you live from the scene" as with our previous commentator, the totally rockin' commentator Tot Pop flashes a grin as she pulls out her own microphone "I'll bring the hype you bring the snipe. Speakin' of which our first challenger's starting things off with a BANG if you know what I mean?"
Any crocodiles that survived are scarred off by the explosion. The girl running the dungeon creates a visage of herself and appears on top of the raised bridge "Ohoho! So, I see we're throwing tact out the window, then. In that case, come on in." A dozen armored skeletons brandishing spears and broadswords run over the now lowered bridge, running towards Tatsuya swinging rapidly and throwing their spears in his direction. "Lemme just waste your ammo with some mooks before our big confrontation."
Alex pops out from a bush. "this is an infiltration mission, and I gotta do this silent and steady. I got this," Alex murmured to himself, not knowing he was still dreaming- Holy shit!

"And our totally rockin' champion's response is to bring out yer dead" Tot swings around to get a better view of the action from her booth as her eyes glance around the field "How will our brave and bold challenger respond to this unceasing horde, find out next time on.... What show is this again?"
Space_Cat secretly appears, and spies on the situation. Huh, I guess others got here before me. I need to find a way across without attracting attention. They search for any exterior entrances, perhaps a sewer pipe.
Warriors that are neither Kuku nor Shadow Thieves are gathering for the wrestling match of the centuary. When will the wrestler of dishonor show themselves? Will they bitch out? Only time well show, wrestling fans.
Tatsuya laughs at that, the gun itself even seems to laugh somehow. "Sorry, but my magic gun doesn't run out of ammo... Heh, guess I can save the rest of it though." He'd shrug before beginning to fire away, blasts of holy light rushing from the gun as Tatsuya's eyes gleam a bit. "Come forth my other self, the god of sun!" The thrown spears would find themselves met by a wall of pure solidified flames floating in the air as the man grins. His gun vanishing while he draws a blade carved with Norse runes and covered in fire flies from his back. "Gram, the dragon slaying sword." His charge is backed by a wave of fire rushing from the weapon as it swings towards the undead.
"ooooh, Rockin'!! seems like the competition's heating up a little. Guess the challenger's done his research, zombies totes aren't into fire. Unless they're the weird firey kind." the commentating stops for a moment as Tot glances around the arena, she doesn't notice much out of the ordinary so she shrugs "Alright Jaggy what's your take on the newcomers?"
The red guy is really pulling out all the fur singing moves in order to take out these guys from the host. He seems like he's wrestled before Toto. It would seem Dessy will need to pull out some more powerful wrestlers if they're gonna knock out this furightful opponent.
Desco is unaware of those lurking in the shadows. Meanwhile, the tide of the mote is gentle, and some protruding sizable rocks are littered like stepping stones. The exterior of the castle was rugged, and a fair bit exposed. Desco's visage dissipates, and the bridge remains lowered still. Darkness seeps from the inner boundaries of the castle, nary a thing from within can be sensed. At the moment, no more monsters escape the entrance.
Alex tries to shrink back into the bush whilst summoning a few skeletons and arming a few with broken beer bottles. "Damn."
"You can say that again Jaggy, and it seems like Red here's getting round one for sure, the castle's open and they're ready to move on." Tot takes notice of the seemingly random skeletons standing around the bushes "oho, we got some new challengers to the cup? Or is it a totally rockin' stealth move by the host... Errr... Guess it ain't so stealthy now huh?"
It seems none of Dessy's monsters are coming Toto. It seems someone may be waiting to pounce but summoned some wrestlers of their own to test the ring, so to speak. Let's see how Dessy reacts to the stealthy man with the skeles, shall we?
Space_Cat silently uses his boosters to blast himself across the courtyard onto the first stone, and then starts using short bursts of his jetpack to leap across each of them.
Tatsuya sighs and walks forward, seemingly annoyed by how easily he dispatched his foes... And glaring towards the announcers voices. "Okay who are you people and why are you commenting like this is a sports match. Also place your bets on if this is a trap, I mean it's a bit... Shameless considering how easy they went down." Trap or no, the man keeps walking forward with his eyes trained all around. Even bothering to look up in case something were to try and strike from above.
"Eh? Didn't you hear my intro?" Tot Pop stands proudly in the commentator's box, whipping her axe-like guitar off her back and playing a swift rift in reply "Name's Tot Pop, Rockin' star and your color commentator for now, I bring the hype, and make sure we've all got a rockin' time alright?" That settles, Tot takes her seat back before flipping a coin "Well folks, our favorite challenger's askin' a bet for what's gonna happen next. Personally I think the door will shut as soon as someone reaches it. Just for giggles."
Nyah? Didn't you know? We're here uninvited to comintate this thing for the viewers back home. I am the servant of Kuku, the mighty JAGUAR WARRIOR!!! *Air horns sound in the distance.* Anyhowzit, I agree with Toto. That door is gonna slam shut. BOOM! Nyah ha ha. But what's this, Toto? Someone is blasting ahead throught the courtyard while we were nyambling on!

Entering the dungeon, Tatsuya sees that it's interior is littered with shade. Indeed, he cannot see two feet in front of him. Upon further inspection, it appears if there is no floor. Rather, there's a seemingly endless abyss of darkness beneath where he stands. For some reason or another, he does not fall down, defying all known laws of psychics. Rather, the force beneath him feels like solid concrete. Space Cat notices an opening in the castle wall, a small hole in a high position along the side of the entrance. Desco's voice echoes beyond the castle, reaching Tatsuya's ears. "Hmm..." She remains silent
Alex "borrows" a skeletal arm, broken bottle in hand, and sends his minions at Space_Cat. Then, Alex makes his way to the entrance.

He rubs the back of his head at the two voices, shrugging a bit before replying. "Right, Tot Pop and Jaguar Warrior... Well, if any 'viewers' wanted my introduction. It's Tatsuya Suou: Demon Hunter." As he says that flames would gather around him, spelling his own name out and giving the impression of a rising Sun as Tatsuya smirks. In a moment they vanish, and the man moves onwards despite this blatant violation of reality. He can't comment on it given his own skills. "Hmmm, what? I can hear you over there... And who the hell are the Shadow Thieves?"
"Wait who is, Jaggy? I got caught up in my little speech." Tot Pop peels her eyes looking around the place until she finally finds the space cat "Woah, wicked, that thing doesn't even look human... Guess that's not actually that weird. Either way our host's building up the ambiance, ready for somethin' to show up at any moment. KAPOW" Tot punches the air a few times to demonstrates before gleefully leaning back over the edge of the box "At least one challenger has a little dramatic flair. We've even got a name folks, Tatsuya Suou: Demon Hunter extraordinaire. Not sure why you'd focus on demons when there's so many cooler things out there, but who am I to judge right?"
"Oh, i'm not entirely sure myself. But they looked strong, so I invited them here." Desco frowns for a bit, appearing to Tatsuya as merely a brief delay. "I'm a bit upset they didn't show, to be honest..." Tatsuya's next step would be vital. In a brief moment, his security would be stricken as his foot passes through the elevation where the ground would therotically be.
Space Cat uses the rest of their booster/jetpack fuel to fly over to the opening in the wall. Looks like they'll have to make due on foot from now on.
Tiredness incoming guys.
He sighs as his foot goes through the 'ground'. The same masked man from before appearing in a blur and waving his hands. Soon enough, a sheet of solid light formed by the Persona's magic would attempt to take shape where the missing ground is. Assuming it worked, Tatsuya would keep walking and begin checking the rest of the ground, prepared to do the same as needed. "Strong huh? Can't say I know anything about them, but I'm pretty strong myself." He'd grin a bit at the rocker's energy, it's the smallest bit infectious though he'd never admit that. Instead, he focuses on whatever might be waiting up ahead.
Seeing nothing happen, Alex exits the bush and tries crossing the moat and climbing the wall, using the skeletons to support him
Space Cat suddenly notices the skeletons. In an effort not to make any noise, he decides his only option is to make a dash for it, not making any attempt to defeat them.
Well Toto, it seems our mysterious Bush Master has finally made his way towards the castle. With all our competetors making there way towards Dessy, I wonder who will make it there first. Will it be out favourite, Tatsu? Will it be Bush Man, master of Skeletons? Or will it be Cat Bot? What's your bet, Toto?
"Oh, there was a person under there? They were so good I never even noticed." Tot snickers a little before looking back over the competitors and making a peace sign "Is that even a question Jaggy? As a star I have to go with the crowd favorite. It'll be gooing to Tatsy easy, especially with how long it took the Hedgelord to get out of there. Though the kitty can fly a bit, so we can't put him out yet
Would it be too late for me to join in?
Tatsuya's procedure would go smoothly, until be hits a sudden wall. He thumps his head on an invisible pillar, blocking his straightforward progression. Space Cat's hesitation causes him to trip and fall through the hole. It was a good 10 feet before he hit the ground, stumbling from the fall. He would find himself in a room of pure darkness. However, his cat abilities would provide him a measure of sight. He can make out a brash young man standing on a holy platform, walking in place. He also notices two exits from the room, one to the left and a locked one to the right.
Would it be too late for me to join in? Naw, you're cool
Bump time
Alex continued climbing, using his skeletal compatriots to help him reach the hole the cat went through, and high-fiving them once there.
"Who... is that?" Space Cat readies a blast of ice from his laser pistol. As he pulls the trigger, something crackles through the air, a bright blue beam fired straight toward the mysterious shadow/cognition.
Since you're shooting Tatsuya, i'm gonna wait til he posts to update.
Tatsuya's eyes go wide as the ice blast rushes through the air, his blade rushes in front of it and burns bright for a moment, ice and flames clashing against each other for a moment before both cancel out. He'd then glare towards the source of the shot as the silver revolver forms in his hands again. Aiming it towards the area the attack had come from. "Who the fuck is shooting at me!? I'm not about to go down so easily to something like a bit of ice... Now then, maybe we can talk this out like sane reasonable people?"
The shadow/cognition had noticed him. Without a second thought, Space Cat switches to his main fire function and blasts the lock off of the right door and bursts through it.
Tatsuya just sighs and looks over at the cat, the platforms expanding themselves in an effort for him to reach the right door and pursue. "Hey jackass, I'm not part of this dungeon or whatever we've ended up in. Name's Tatsuya Suou, and I'm trying ta find the end of this thing."
Day 2 has begun in this very exciting game and it would seem that the contestants are ready to wrestle. Robo Cat and Tatsu are ready to brawl. Meanwhile, the Bush Master is... uh... doing something stupid. Yes! I believe that is a very good explanation of this, Nyah.
Your local catboyâ„¢ enters the area and looks around for a bit. It's not much, but hey, exploring things usually cures boredom, so what the hell? "...It'll have to do, I guess." He looks around for whatever entrance there is.
Alex looks around and spots Niko, and shouts, "Yo!"
The lock was reinforced, reflecting the shot Space Cat's weapon off it. In addition, he had found that he could loose his footing easily in some places, as the invisible platforms were not extended to the whole floor. The abyss below, however, was very much real, as the fired shot dissipated to the floor below. The drawbridge still remains open for Niko to cross. Of course, he can always be an idiot and blow up a random portion of the castle. Desco's visage appears in the room once more, holding a candle to provide a dim light. "You guys are not one room in and you're already shooting at each other?"
Niko looks up at Alex. "Oh hey, it's the creep from that one cafe." He looks at the drawbridge. I mean, it's really his only way of entrance, he would love to blow something up, but he doesn't have anything to do so with. "Well, guess I'll just head on in. Nothing bad can come out of this, obviously." He walks across the drawbridge.
Using the light, Alex hopped down with his team close behind, finally getting to the interesting bit of this adventure.
Niko would enter the ill-illuminated room, being able to just barely make out three figures: One human, one cat, and one youthful half-transparent demon girl. He may also noticed that the floor was invisible, with a dark abyss below it. Alex would land and most likely sprang his ankle, due to not being a cat and lacking the associated landing skills. In addition, he was also completely in the dark. Unlike his feline compatriots, he only had an average field of vision..

"Hey, now who the heck are you? Ugh.. anyway, if both of you aren't cognitions or shadows, if you help get fuel for my pack, I can fly across the room and possibly get you guys out of here. It operates on solar rays that are converted into fuel, but as you can see, there's no amount of light in here."
"Ouch," Alex said to himself, it was to be expected since he dropped approximately ten feet, but it still hurt. He readied his broken-beer-bottle-arm as his skeletons came up behind him.
Owo! What's this? A new challenger approaches. This is indeed suprising. Fashionably late I see. Maybe this new person will run away with the victory. Meanwhile, it would seem out host Dessy is planning something wicked. Could this turn out to be the best trap in America?!
hahaaaaaa
oh no.
he cometh
OP Leader of the Shadow Thieves appears. Shoots everyone
The man of the hour hath doth appeareth guys...eth. He is currently shooting everyone. However I am your amazing commentator, Jaguar Warrior, and Kuku has given me a special gift that makes me immune to bullets. It's called "Bullet proof armour". Personally I would prefer Cat-et proof armour, but that's just me Nyah.
Leader summons persona and raises all of his stats
Ah shoot, I accidentally dropped my plot armor on the ground and now everyone has it! What a shame
Cleave
Oh no! Light physical damage has struck thin air. This is truly a master of martial arts, folks.
yes a true distraction indeed
I use my Pot of Greed to send you back to the void, usurper of the fourth wall! BEGONE
Summons persona and boosts up defense
i summon exodia the forbidden one to erase arche- i mean, psyche from existence https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81aM0V7iQPL._SX466_.jpg
but my persona Ptah wipes out Exodia before it can wipe out me
(edited by SHDW_PSYCHE)
A visage of Desco appears before Psyche. "You fook! Do you even know who you're supposed to be fighting?"
Exodia
Begone T<H>O<>T!! Raises defense
hmmmmmmmmmm
"You're literally just shouting at cards on the ground! 'Twas I who issued the challenge, so fight ME!"
Seto fuses 3 blue eyes white dragons and special summons Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. He ordered it to attack Shdw_Psyche's persona so that it can be annihilated and wiped from existence since Ptah didn't deserve this.
I will. Summons Ptah. Raises All Stats. Also uses Physical Ointment
(edited by SHDW_PSYCHE)
But what does Pot of Greed do? Well you see, dear Psyche, it activates a special ability that's complete BS, ignoring all logic and sense, and destroying everything that dares to cross the user's path. Even things such as Plot Armor, Contrived Reasons, and the My Character Arc Hasn't Finished Yet it can pierce through. It is completely invurnerable, and it's being fired straight at you, with it's magic infused with my ability to end the existence of yourself in this thread. If you somehow in any way dodge it, it will track you. Ah, one last thing. It's already godmodded you out of existence. Goodbye, sweet, fair thee well, as thou has failed to break the chains of mankind and my gosh darn sanity.
I use my Noble Phantasm which allows me to nullify the destruction of Exodia and kills your persona 4 evaz. Nyah ha ha!
PSYCHE ONE-HANDEDLY DESTROYED A MORE CASUAL ACTION THREAD I'M DISAPPOINTED
I HAVE AN UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF PHYSICAL OINTMENT
Our only option is to call justice down upon Psyche by the admins' will
make him stop, i actually liked this thread
nope. i can have some fun once and awhile
Your fun is at the cost of other peoples fun, Nyah!
We gotta stop him. Wait, can we combine our cat powers and create.... CatCaptain planet?
(edited by InterNiko)

@Joker please help us
No one cares about your butt warts. We're trying to get rid of you.

Umu. Your kind of a dumbass, aren't you?
what is going on
what kimda mayhem?
mayhem
The worst kind
mmmmmmmmmmm
Is it safe
I think so?
Psyche, please don't drag the former Shadow Thieves' name through the mud any longer. Please, if you are going to participate in an RP, be considerate and follow the unspoken rules. It's no fun with a godmodder.
is it sleeptime 2.0?
chaos bump
OOC: I'm here
I also am living.
Niko and Space Cat were still free to investigate the interior of the castle. Looking around, they could make out that the distance from one wall to the opposite one was about a third of a football field.
Alex drinks another beer, and begins meandering, using his companions to help feel out the area around him.
