Undying grit: An open challenge

You'll find here all archived threads from the Phansite forum.

Alex_Liang

Armour, check. Skeletons, check. Dagger, check. Spells, check. Escape route, check. Alex was still tired from preparing, from bringing the skeletons to their places, to buying the dagger and the leather armour, which left him broke. Now, the only thing left to do was to rest and wait, but not before trying to make a car explode by using Fire bolt.

Naegi_Makoto

*A short boy with brown hair was walking on a sidewalk, looking for an ice cream shop, before he heard the distinct noise of an explosion. "What the-"

(edited by Naegi_Makoto)

Alex_Liang

If Naegi dared to look, he would see Alex, looking back at him, smiling at him with a hood pulled over his eyes.

Matsunaga_Tenkai

*From his tea shop, Tenkai would emerge, sipping a cup of tea* Hmm? Who's blowing this up so sloppily outside my shop? Such a disgrace.

Naegi_Makoto

Naegi would dart into an alleyway and peer into the place where the noise came from, seeing a car that had combusted, and an extremely visible shady person who was... staring right back at him. Immediately, Naegi realizing that he himself was extremely visible, darted back into the parking lot of which he came from, and began to dash away.

Alex_Liang

"Fire at him!" And suddenly Naegi would notice a salvo of arrows being fired toward him from atop a building Alex was too preoccupied to notice Tenkai as he attempted to pursue Naegi.

Matsunaga_Tenkai

Him then. I see. I suppose I should warm up in case any real combat comes my way. *Tenkai ges back inside his shop and emerges a minute later with a large curved blade in his hand before he began his pursuit of Alex.*

Naegi_Makoto

Naegi would see the shadow of the arrows eclipsing the sun, and would push Tenkai aside to enter the shop, before pulling him by the collar in with him, shutting the door. "Phew, well, that was close. Do you have a phone in here? I need to call the Police."

Alex_Liang

As it turns out, Alex is somewhat quick, and due to his delay, Alex is still far ahead. Alex, however, has yet to catch Naegi.

(edited by Alex_Liang)

Matsunaga_Tenkai

*Tenkai looks annoyed at Makoto, leaning his curved blade against his shop wall.* Back shelf behind the counter. Far right end. Touch anything else and I'll know, so don't even try it.

Eito

From a rooftop above, Eito stares down at the explosion with mild interest, soon followed by all the events after. He sighs, cracks his knuckles and sprints over a few buildings to get closer, until he's practically right over the tea shop and Alex. He whistles loudly, and waves at him. "Oi, what's with all the noise? If you wanted a firework, you could probably get something more impressive at any random store, without needing to blow up a vehicle and park your spooky skeletons on a roof."

Naegi_Makoto

"I'm so sorry, really, I am, sir." He would snap as he picked up the phone and dialed the Police, reporting a car bombing as well as a sudden mass influx in arrow rain. Hopefully they would send someone to deal with it, but for now, he decided he needed to try and stop the mysterious hooded figure himself.

moebius

from a nearby rooftop, a youngish girl? takes a seat on the side of the building, watching the fighting below with a grin "Maybe blondie back there was right, this is as good as TV anyways, come on, Put on a show." Mobius cheers to the people below, grinning widely and waving at the people below

Matsunaga_Tenkai

If your done, I'd appriciate you leaving. I don't mind customers, but I'd prefer to deal with the mad man blowing things up before my shop gets ruined. He's also stolen my usual historical description. Heh. *Tenkai would chukcle to himself before grabbing his weapon and opening the door.* After you.

Alex_Liang

"Yeah, I know," shouted Alex as he walked towards the middle of the street, looking at the tea shoppe. He fumbled through his bag quickly and pulled out a wand of Door creation, made of glass.

Naegi_Makoto

"Of course. I.. I think I'll deal with the things that fired arrows from atop that building. The question is how I'll get up there. I presume you're pursuing that guy.. thing.. head on?" Naegi would walk out of the shop cautiously, before summoning a katana made of blackened steel, and heading off toward his destination.

Eito

"So you know i'm gonna have to ask why you did it, then." So far Eito's just sitting down, head tilted to the side in curiosity, and though his weapons are strapped to his side like always, he hasn't reached for them.

Matsunaga_Tenkai

Good. *Tenkai waits for Naegi to leave for stepping out and closing the door behind him and heading off to find Alex.*

Alex_Liang

"Escape!" Alex shouted the word at seemingly no-one, before making a wooden door in front of himself to seperate him from Naegi. He then signalled the skeletons on the roof to draw while a skeleton under the street would start to open the manhole. Alex is in the middle of the street, five feet behind a solid wooden door. Eito's reply will have to wait as Alex prepares for his possible demise.

(edited by Alex_Liang)

Eito

Figuring he's not going to get an answer, Eito draws a pistol, leans back, and starts firing at the skeletons, looking rather bored. "Well, until you figure out what you're gonna say, i'll be doing some target practice." He took note of Tenkai and Naegi, and chuckled. Well, things were turning out rather interesting.

(edited by Eito)

Matsunaga_Tenkai

*Tenkai chucks a small bomb at the door in an attempt to blow it up.* If your power is creating something stupid, at least make something stupid that isn't destructable.

Naegi_Makoto

Naegi would suddenly be surprised by a wooden door forming in front of him, as he spied Alex down the street. "Wait... I remember you. Necromancer. You esteemed to cooperate with Monokuma, didn't you?"

Alex_Liang

"Fire!" Suddenly, arrows rain down upon Tenkai and Naegi. "Well, sort of, alright?" Alex creates another door to replace the broken one so he could explain his situation "Well, ya see, I wanted somewhere of my own. Ya see, most servant of ChAoS have to share residences, and guess what I got, frickin' cHaOs blobs. They're all 'the pain is unbearable' this and 'End me please, I beg of you' that! They even eat my leftovers!"

Matsunaga_Tenkai

*Tenkai raises an eyebrow as the arrows fall down on him.* Onryoki *A large demon wrapped in chains appears in a strange mist, blocking the arrow rain with it's chest. The beast then swipes the ones sticking in it out, sending arrow heads and shafts clattering to the floor. It then picks up a large iron ball and tosses it at the archers. Tenkai looks at Alex, his arms folded and smirking.* Is that truly the best you can summon? Those are minor demons at best.

Eito

Eito chuckles once again at the sight of the demon, looking down at Alex again, putting his gun back to his waist and getting up. "He's right, you know? Most people around here beat up way stronger monsters all the time. Or maybe that's just me. It really could be just me. Either way, you're kinda outmatched here, Mr. Chaos servant."

(edited by Eito)

moebius

"Now that's what I'm talkin' about" Mobius jumps up, pumping their fist in the air and cheering as the massive demon shows up, still safely away on a roof nearby "Come on, kill 'em already... Err, they're already dead but you know."

Alex_Liang

"..Shit..." Alex fired a Piercing Fire Bolt at Tenkai, then surrounded himself with doors, exhausting all the charges on the wand and then crouched down next to the opened manhole.

Matsunaga_Tenkai

*Tenkai tossed a bomb into the bolts path, causing it to explode when the bolt struck it, presumably destroying the bolt as well. He nods at Onryoki, who vanishes into the same mist, leaving a swirling vortex of mist in it's wake.* You say you act for Chaos? How rudementry. Your naught but an amateur in this game. You give us who actully practise the art of chaos a bad name. Hows about you run off now, little boy, and never show your face in front of my shop again. That's your last warning.

Alex_Liang

The bolt, suffice it to say being piercing continues on it's path, whilst Alex climbed down into the sewers and left, along with an armoured skeleton escort, while any remaining skeleton archers fled the scene.

Eito

Tilting his head to the side, Eito shrugs, steps back, and, with a running start, jumps off the roof and directly into the manhole with inhuman accuracy, grabbing onto the ladder with ease and already moving downwards, the crimson glow of his eyes visible in the darkness. "Well, i'll be honest, I don't really have a reason to do this other than that i'm bored and want a conclusion to this story. So you should probably give up before I force you to."

(edited by Eito)

Matsunaga_Tenkai

*Ignoring the bolt passing through an explosion somehow, Tenkai follows Eito doen the manhole.* Well then, SHadow Hunter extrodinaire. Where to do now.

(edited by Matsunaga_Tenkai)

Alex_Liang

Alex jumps onto the skeleton, now running at a speed unhindered by flesh. To aid his escape, he creates a magical darkness, devouring the light.

moebius

"Hey, wait, don't go down there, how am I supposed to watch?" mobius jumps down to the street, waiting by the edge of the manhole as the actual combatants went down into the sewers. They would stand there for a few moments, disgruntled as they consider their options, before following down.

Matsunaga_Tenkai

Is that the best he's got? Heh. Running isn't going to save him. Neither is the darkness. *As Alex traveled, he would notice a number of water like blobs blocking his path. Some of them wuld spits bricks at his skeleton. With Tenkai, two Umi-Bozu would begin traveling in front of him, leading him towards where Alex and his Skeleton ran off.* He made the mistake of coming down below my shop. I have quite a lot of Umi-Bozu down here in order to deter theives.

Eito

"Well, that's pretty simple. We have somebody running, so we give chase." Eito laughed, almost maniacally, and extended his right arm to the side, walking calmly towards the direction he heard Alex moving to. A blue card, glowing faintly, had appeared on his hand. "Persona." Tightening his fist around it, the card shatters with the sound of a mirror breaking, and out of the blue flames that engulf Eito, comes a large figure, easily able to carry a person in it's hand like a large doll. It seemed to be nothing but a huge suit of bronze armor, holding a spear taller than even it and clothed in a simple red cloak. "Odysseus, light the way, please." The Persona flipped it's weapon next to it, and pointed it straight ahead, a great torrent of flame erupting from the tip of the spear, flying on ahead to brighten the sewers, before grabbing Eito, depositing him on it's shoulders, and beginning to give chase. "Want a lift?"

Alex_Liang

Alex quickly goes in another direction at an intersection to avoid the vagrant yo-kai, while the skeleton cuts at the blobs gtg will be back within two hours

(edited by Alex_Liang)

Matsunaga_Tenkai

Do keep the fire away from my pets, yes? They aren't fond of it. *Tenkai keeps walking. Meanwhile, Alex would find a lot of the exits blocked by Umi-Bozu. If he wanted to keep going, he'd have to force his way through the water like Yokai.*

Naegi_Makoto

In the middle of the action, Naegi had managed to squirm away, and now carried a series of odd purple syringes.

Alex_Liang

Alex cast Acid ball and sent waves of burning acid most definitely powerful enough to destroy everything around him, save for his mount.

moebius

Mobius remained near the top of the manhole, seeing a great flash of light down below as they try thinking "Ugh... It sounds like something cool's happening... But its so gross down there..." after a little bit, they give up with a sigh and climb back up, sitting by the sewer entrance. "Well whatever, it was probably just somethin' stupid anyway. Can't be worth the effort."

Matsunaga_Tenkai

*Fun fact: You can't melt water. Using acid means your liquidising it. Liquidising it would assume your Melting something down it. Since Water is a liquid, melting it is imposible. And since Umi-Bozu are made of water, they aren't effected by the acid. The bricks and bits of rubbish inside it are reduced to nothing, but the Umi-Bozu stand (?) tall. Meanwhile, Tenkai starts whistling as he walks. Alex can hear this whistle distantly behind him, but slowly getting louder.*

Alex_Liang

"Run!" The Undead Knight charged headlong into the liquid demons, while Alex cast Cone of Cold, freezing them.

(edited by Alex_Liang)

Naegi_Makoto

Naegi silently rushes up to Tenkai. "Sorry, I had to abandon the battle for a bit to get something. Have you cornered him?"

Matsunaga_Tenkai

Of course. I have a few pets ahead of me to help slow him down. *The Umi-Bozu are confused by what "Cone of Cold" is cause they're not psychic and don't know what something that isn't explained does as they swallow the skeleton and spit it back at Alex.*

Alex_Liang

Alex tried casting cone of Cold again, flash freezing the area in front of him.

Matsunaga_Tenkai

*The Umi-Bozu are frozen solid. However, this makes a wall of frozen Yokai and one frozen skeleton currently in midair infront of him blocking his path. Behind him, Tenkai's whistling is louder now. Sounds like he's just down the corridor behind Alex.*

Naegi_Makoto

Naegu follows behind Tenkai, holding out his black katana cautiously in front of him. "Pets? What do you mean-" Naegi is interrupted by the sound of crackling ice through the air. "What was that!?"

2_Monokuma

Monokuma was watching this happen, from a hidden area... aka in a trash can

Pancake_Knight

Stop right there villain! Crashing down from the skies above is a person completely clad in white with a red mask, flipping in the air to land with both feet in a crouching position with his arms out like a wing Wherever there is evil there is justice! And I am that justice! Pancake Knight is here have no fear! ... J-just give me a second! I'm a little woozy! PK then gets up and stumbles around for a bit before recovering from the sky dive, looking around the scene and noticing a man being trapped by monsters with a commander, presumably the evil-doer! Aha! Here we go! Pancake and Syrup! Let's end them! With a swing of his arm, PK opens a blue rift with two blades swinging out of them, following PK into the thick of things. With his new armaments PK jumps right onto the middle of the frozen monsters and has the twin blades surrounding him, spin rapidly, slicing little ice chunks within a whirlwind, effectively making an extremely fast blizzard before directly it directly towards Matsunaga.

Alex_Liang

With that, Alex got the fuck down.

Matsunaga_Tenkai

*With a snap of his fingers, the Umi Bozu accompying Tenkai blocked the Blizard with their bodies, freezing in the process. Tenkai steps around them.* Your mistaken. I am a simple tamer of Yokai. That kid their summoned skeletons to try and turn me and this boy here... *Tenkai motions towards Naegi.* ...into a pincushion with arrows, blew up a car and a almost damaged my tea shop with his damnable antics. I'm simply trying to apprehend him so myself and others can have a little peace around here. So, Mr Hero. I suggest directing your justice towards the actual villain here instead.

Alex_Liang

With that, Alex got up, and continued to flee

Pancake_Knight

Oh! Is that true? Come back to me Pancake and Syrup! Immediately the blades stop attacking and return to PK's side before he looks to Alex, shouting over to him Is what this guy is saying true! If it is I'll have to fight you instead! I don't wanna hurt anybody innocent! PK then patiently awaits an answer from Alex as he flees.

Matsunaga_Tenkai

And now he's running. Great. Thanks for the help "Mighty Hero". You let the bad guy get away. I'll go get him. Do me a favour and stay out of my way lest you ruin everything again. I appreciate your co-operation. *Tenkai continues following Alex. A number of Umi-Bozu continue to impede Alex's progress, though less than before.*

(edited by Matsunaga_Tenkai)

Naegi_Makoto

"Shoot.." Naegi begins to run ahead of Tenkai, following the trail of frozen Umi-Bozu to Alex.

Alex_Liang

Alex mulled it over as he ran. Should he tell the truth? Lie? Any skeletal assistance was too far away to help him and they could easily catch up to him. All he had was light leather armour, a dagger, an empty wand, and, wait a sec, A beer! Alex dipped the wand into the beer to recharge it, before stopping and replying, "Yes I have done that, but to what avail? All I am is a man! I have less than anyone else in strength and power, but I plan. Indeed, the only strength I own is my will, the rags on my back, and my Undead, easily taken out by anyone here. Only in death, I have found true bonds, yet my life has hardly begun! Leave me to my own fate, for there is nothing that you have lost in fighting me, but I have all to lose!

Alex_Liang

my cha. was based of of this game https://ancardia.fandom.com/wiki/Wands

Pancake_Knight

Ha! Sorry, but a sad backstory won't help you now! You have to face justice for your crimes! I won't leave until you've faced your punishment! Following behind, PK jumps onto the flying blades and zips towards Alex like a hoverboard, when he gets close enough he jumps off towards Alex, lunging at him with a laser blade primed to strike while the blades fly towards Alex's legs and attempt to trip him

Naegi_Makoto

Naegi neared close to Alex- he could see him very clearly now, along with very clearly hearing what he said. "Hey, I found the poetry nerd! I bet you summon the dead just to take their skulls and quote Shakespeare. I'll give you the opportunity to do it with your own once I knock it out of your head. Capiche?"

(edited by Naegi_Makoto)

2_Monokuma

Monokuma sighs, he soon grabs a soda can and throws it at Makoto

Matsunaga_Tenkai

Bad poetry now? How cliche you are. nd you call yourself a villain. Bah. You give true villains a bad name. *With a snap of his fingers, the Umi Bozu lunge towards Alex. Another Umi Bozu eats the trash can Monokuma is hiding is in and spits it at Alex*

Alex_Liang

well, fruity words didn't work Alex used his fully recharged wand to create several walls of wooden and stone doors, before running to another ladder through a manhole.

Pancake_Knight

Gah! With the new wall, PK hits it face first instead of Alex, crashing through it and making his mask a pancake as he stumbles up and around before passing out W-woah! I think I need a, a little nap!

Matsunaga_Tenkai

*With a growl, Tenkai would swing his weapon. A wave of gunpowder launches from the weapon before igniting against the air and blasting down the walls. An Umi Bozu sits at the bottom of the ladder Alex went up, signalling his escape route.* My thanks. *He nods at the Umi Bozu, which disapears into the sewage water, before climbing the ladder after Alex.*

Naegi_Makoto

Naegi is dashing after Alex, before he suddenly feels something clink and hit his back. Turning around, he can see it is a simple can of Amirita Soda. Looking around, he would have previously seen a trashcan of which it could be fished from, but, but sheer consequence, it had been digested by an Umi Bozu. And so, not seeing anything that could have thrown it and concluding it had been caused by the wind, he began to lay waste to the walls before him. "Please, as if you don't already know the power of the people living in this town. Break!" Suddenly, his katana was bathed in a bright blue glow, and he began to slash at the doors, hoping to break them down without slowing his pace.

Alex_Liang

Alex pushed his way out and was greeted with the gentle light of freedom, but freedom wasn't there, however. When he got to the top, he noticed a familiar shop. It was his escape! Now running faster than ever, he made his way to the door, and entered. Naegi would be delayed by the walls for a few minutes.

(edited by Alex_Liang)

Matsunaga_Tenkai

*As Tenkai saw Alex break into the shop, Tenkai narrowed his eyes, following him in. Alex would notice there was no back room like normal. Or stair leading upstairs. It was just a single room with a counter. The shelves were filled with tea kettles and a single phone at the far right of the back shelf behind the counter* JURO-GUMO! *From the shop ceiling, a giant half spider half lady almost lands on top of Alex, breaking some furniture and shaking some tea kettles on the shelves. Tenkai blocks the door handle with his curved blade, locking Alex in with Tenkai and Juro* That was the last mistake you'll ever make. No-one breaks into my shop and gets away with it. Any last words before your eaten, theif?

Alex_Liang

different shop. He went into the place he mentioned earlier, with the roommates

(edited by Alex_Liang)

Matsunaga_Tenkai

How many times must I imply it in this RP? Describe your actions more. Especially true since you never mentioned any other shop. Since Tenkai's tea shop was the only shop described in the RP, naturally I assumed you entered there. And now your gonna die cause you don't explain things. Truly you can only blame yourself.

Alex_Liang

Suddenly, the area was splattered with waves of acid, destroying everything thing around him. Alex cast acid ball.

Matsunaga_Tenkai

*Tenkai grabs his curved sword and swings. The explosion created is enough to part the acid around it. Juro writhes in pain from the acid before glaring at Alex in anger and slashes at Alex.* Is that your only trick? Please.

Alex_Liang

The slash severs a great deal of Alex's left arm. Alex screams in pain, then disapears, having casted teleport.

Naegi_Makoto

"Ach!" Makoto barely dodges the first few waves, but is splashed on by the last. He seethes in pain, but keeps chasing Alex, fist clenched. As he does, he desummons his sword, and takes one of the purple syringes, injecting it directly into his wrist. His countenance is suddenly calm again, as if he had just taken a swig of whiskey after a long night. "Ah, he got away."

(edited by Naegi_Makoto)

Matsunaga_Tenkai

Hmm. Teleportation magic. How disapointing. Oh well. You may return now, Juro. *Juro nods her head before vanishing into the same warped smoke like aura that Onryoki vanished in earlier. Tenkai turns to look at Naegi.* He's gone. I need to fix this place up for my next business. I'm just lucky that psychopath didn't destroy any of my tea kettles.

Naegi_Makoto

"Mind if I help? An apology for pushing past you earlier.. y'know, I wonder why the cops never showed up."

Alex_Liang

Alex prayed hard. He prayed for his life and the gods answered. Cauterized with burning fire, a punishment and salvation.

Matsunaga_Tenkai

No, I can handle this myself. You may go find him if you wish. I believe he is missing an arm, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Alex_Liang

Goodbye, I'm out.

Naegi_Makoto

"Alright. Thanks!" Naegi would turn away, and fondle the purple syringes he carried at his side in the small pouch, before hearing the sound of scorching fire. He would rush over to the source, but not before summoning his katana once again, and a small revolver, made of the same material of the blade.

Alex_Liang

Sorry, I should have clarified; cauterizing fire is several blocks away Makoto notices a burning building nearby.

Naegi_Makoto

Wait, are you out?

Matsunaga_Tenkai

*With a smirk, Tenkai would close the door. With two claps of his hand, the broken and destroyed shop would start shiftin back together. Tenkai would take up a chair and a cup of tea as he observes. A small spirit with a tea cup on it's head sits next to him. Tenkai sips his tea* Feels good to relax after a day of annoyance.
