Mitsuru
Tartarus: Entrance - Floor 5
*In the distance, regardless of where you are in the Nexus, a giant tower rises into the sky. It goes on, seemingly with no end until the top is too high to even begin to see. Around the tower, it becomes impossible to fly, and all aircrafts are pushed away before they can even get close. The base of the tower appears to be a school, and the gates leading to it are open, with a large number of men and women in black suits are scattered about the perimeter. Mitsuru stands at the door to the tower, awaiting for those that chose to heed her call.*
Starwaddle
The Mementos Exploration Squadron is ready to deploy!
Hillock
I´m here
Shadowwaifuaigis
This place... How nostalgic... Makes me sick.
Tatsuya
*Walks in and stands next to Mitsuru* Hey there how's it going? Heh so I guess I'm finally joining your little team.
Cait_Sith
Nya! The demon swordscat is here!
Starwaddle
Miss Mitsuru, the Mementos Exploration Squadron is ready whenever. As the leader, just tell me what I should have everyone do.
The_Hunter
Sorry that I am late...
Starwaddle
Ah, it's okay. Things happen.
Mitsuru
Mementos Exploration Squadron? Ha, that name reminds me of the past.

Aigis, or rather, Aigis' Shadow. I hope you come seeking to help. I have no wish to turn you away. The six of you should be plenty. Follow me inside, there things to be discussed before we begin.

*She enters the tower.*
Starwaddle
It should. It was made with a bit of homage to SEES. We even have the armbands.
Kuroumi
Crap! Just a little late.
Tatsuya
*follows behind and speaks* Oh yeah you guys are Persona users right? I think it's time I taught you an old trick of mine.
Starwaddle
Don't worry. Nothing has been explained yet.
The_Hunter
Lets get to work people

*follows Mitsuru*
The_Hunter
OOC: not ginna respond because my phine is almost out of batteries.
Shadowwaifuaigis
*follows after Mitsuru*
I was wondering why I felt dread earlier, but might as well stop it now, before it gets worse.
Hillock
*follows the group*
Kuroumi
*follows*
Cait_Sith
*runs in with everyone else*

*When everyone is inside Mitsuru stands in the center of the and addresses those gathered.*

This, is Tartarus. Back when I was in high school, this tower rose in response to an entity known as Nyx and through a series of events nearly let to the end of mankind. Me and the members of SEES fought our way through to the top and managed to stop it at the cost of Makoto Yuki's life. The tower should have never returned, and I fear the worst with it's reemergence. You all will be exploring the tower, as me and SEES did years ago. I'll act as your support as you go on. Are there any questions?
Hillock
Another mementos...
But this time, we have to climb
Hillock
No questions, sir!
Cait_Sith
Hm... no questions from me, nya!
Starwaddle
No, Mitsuru. I shall act as the leader for this exploration. The Mementos Exploration Squadron is my team, so we should have no problem with whatever is going to come in our way.
Shadowwaifuaigis
*shakes her head*
I have no questions, been here before... Hopefully it doesn't end the same way.
Tatsuya
Justin one. *He grins viciously​* Who wants to learn fusion spells?
Starwaddle
Ah, Fusion Spells? I don't need a lesson on those.
Tatsuya
How'd you learn em Star? And do mean the kind Yuki used or real ones?
Starwaddle
Well, I'm a goddess, so I've had time to experiment. I made a sweet spell with nuke and fire.
Kotone Shiomi
I would join but I was told not too.
Tatsuya
*he grins* But you do it in your own right? I'm talking about two or more Persona users combining their power into one spell.
Mitsuru
I hope you live up to my expectations, for all our sakes. Take the stairs to the second floor. If the tower is acting like it did before, then there should be a check point of sorts deeper in, and teleporters to get you all back to the entrance. The clock over there can heal you if you're injured. I'll be keeping in contact with you from here.

(Enter whenever you're ready.)
Starwaddle
Ah, so that's what you meant. Well, I also know how to do that too.
Starwaddle
*leads the charge*
Tatsuya
*sighs* One day I'll know something you don't Star. But fine you can help me teach this lot unless anyone else knows? *He enters the tower*
Cait_Sith
*hums as he follows Star*
Shadowwaifuaigis
*sighs*
So optimistic..
*follows behind Star*
Kuroumi
*follows Star*
Mitsuru
*The gate leading to a second-floor open as the party continues on. they find themselves in a fairly open hallway. in front of them a group of Shadows is roaming around. Mitsuru's voices heard in the party's head.*

The Shadows me look weak but I sent that they've grown in power since last I've been here. Everyone, please stay on guard.

Starwaddle
Everyone, engage the enemy. We should test our power against them.
Tatsuya
*Stares at them shocked* The hell are these things? Never mind that what kinda elements we need?
Cait_Sith
Shadows, eh? Just tell me what element I should use, and I'll hit 'em all at once!

Mako-chan
OOC: I wanna fight but I have a flight to catch, so here's the extent of my support
Cait_Sith
OOC: (Will leave in like 15-20 minutes to pick up my sister. Feel free to have Cait do whatever you command during the time I'm gone- he's got Maragi and Mazan, and is weak to lightning but strong against Force(which translates to Wind I guess))
Cait_Sith
OOC: (Also, Pride shenanigans lets him use Force and Fire Dance, but *shrug*)
Shadowwaifuaigis
Ah... Just like the old days.
Tatsuya
OOC: Superbia also grants light magic in fact.
Mitsuru
*The Shadows notice the party and begin shuffling towards them. BATTLE START! Party goes first!*

(We're using my brand of the update system, so state your action and when I've seen everyone take a turn I'm going to post "UPDATE". I'll detail the results and the enemy turn. This is going by P3 elements so tell me what type of physical attack you use when not using magic. Non P3 magic will always be neutral.)
Cait_Sith
OOC: (Yep! ...Although he has yet to figure out how to use it. The closest he's gotten is temporarily upgrading Maragi to Agidyne, and even that drained all his energy)
Tatsuya
OOC: How do you wanna do fusion spells? Yes I'm dragging them in. In P2 they burn the turn of everyone involved. Real trick is damage a ton used average magic stat of the party members doing them.
Starwaddle
Okay team, hit them hard! Blazing Hell! *Summons Shadow-sona to burn the shadows*
Starwaddle
Ooc: I'd be okay with linking this turn. A fusion spell, I mean.
Cait_Sith
Maragi, nya! *waves his sword to send out a wave of fire*
Mitsuru
(I don't do hard and fast HP calcs, so I'll just make them do damage accordingly. It does use up a lot of party member turns after all.)
Tatsuya
Come out Apollo let's burn! *The Persona launches a wave of fire that merges with Blazing Hell into a massage fireball that engulfs the shadows* Heh now that's how it's done!
Shadowwaifuaigis
Samael, burn them to ashes! *Uses Fire Breath to scorch all foes*
Mitsuru
(UPDATE)
Mitsuru
*The Shadow encountered are a Cowardly Maya, a Merciless Maya and a Magic Hand. The fire spells all crash into them and knock the Magic hand and the Cowardly Maya down. Once more for Star! The Merciless Maya doesn't seem impressed*
Tatsuya
Alright Two of them are weak ta fire! Any clue what to use in the other?
Starwaddle
*Pulls out a crossbow* take this! *Shoots the Merciless Maya*
Starwaddle
Ooc: Peirce damage if we're going off of P3.
Shadowwaifuaigis
Use Wind!
Mitsuru
(UPDATE)
Kuroumi
I guess I could try something. Come, Persona! Bufudyne! *She casts the ice skill on the Merciless Maya*
Mitsuru
*The Merciless Maya is hit by the crossbow and reels in pain before glaring at Star. Enemy turn! The downed enemies rise up and look angry somehow. The magic hand the Cowardly Maya and Magic Hand both cast Bufudyne, on Tatsuya and Shaigis respectively. Tatsuya is hit, while Shaigis is missed. The Merciless Maya casts Agidyne on Star and misses greatly.*

(Party turn unless a weakness is hit!)
Tatsuya
OOC: Apollo is weak to ice.
Mitsuru
(Sorry Kuro, you're attack will be counted for the current turn.)
Starwaddle
Huh...well that was boring...I guess I'll just do it again! Blazing Hell!
Tatsuya
OOC guys it isn't our turn.
Starwaddle
Ooc: probably should have waited. Oh well.
Mitsuru
*Tatsuya is knocked down, and the Cowardly Maya follows up by slicing at him with it's claws... Critical Hit, that one looked like it stung.... Party Turn!*

(I'll count these as for the current turn Tatsu.)
Tatsuya
OOC: Screw you guys I'm using something with no weakness now.
Cait_Sith
Hm. Might as well try out... Mazan! *sends three green tornadoes at the creatures*

OOC: (As it turns out, I don't have to pick up my sister, so I can stay longer)
Shadowwaifuaigis
Pfffttt, what a bunch of weaklings.
*uses Fire Breath again*
Mitsuru
(Sorry, life pulled me away. Update incoming.... Tatsu feel free to take a turn, you get back up like in P5. I'll refresh and change things accordingly.)
Pancake_Knight
Ooc: is it too late to join?
Tatsuya
OOC: Kay.

*Gets back up and dusts off* Okay crush em Lakshmi! *Pillars of Earth form above the shadows than crash down*

OOC: High earth damage.
Mitsuru
*Kuro's Bufudyne misses the MM, as does Star's Blazing Hell. Cait's Mazan hits all the shadows and knocks them around a bit. Shaigis' Fire Breath knocks the Shadows weak to fire down. Once More for Shaigis! Even the MM felt that on. Tatsuya's earth pillars slam into the Shadows, doing a bit of damage. They seems to be on their last legs.*
Mitsuru
(Going away from my laptop. Updates will be slower, but I'm not stopping.)
Shadowwaifuaigis
I think it's time I brought back an old favorite... MEGIDOLAON FOR ALL!
*Samael casts Megidolaon*
Mitsuru
*The Shadows cower in fear before they are overwhelmed by the attack. The party has won! Shuffle Time! 3 Cups! The party feels restored!.*

That confirms my suspicions. Don't take these Shadows lightly everyone.
Pancake_Knight
Ooc: mind if I join?
Cait_Sith
Got it, nya! Let's go on!
Kuroumi
Understood. Let's continue.
Shadowwaifuaigis
These shadows are nothing compared to me...
Mitsuru
@Pancake_Knight (Feel free. You can meet with the party right now. We'll say Mitsuru sent you in after.)

*There's a split in the path before the party. They can go left, forward or right. Pancake Knight joins the party*
Starwaddle
Good job. Let's advance onwards.
The_Hunter
*summons in and is glowing blue*

I am back.
Starwaddle
... let's move forward?
Cait_Sith
Hm... I'm biased towards the right, but what do ya think, leader?
Cait_Sith
Forward it is, then.
Pancake_Knight
Hello everyone! Ill do my best!
Mitsuru
*Moving forward, the party comes to find a treasure chest, and a dead end. Open it?*
Cait_Sith
Nice to meetcha! Good to have another ally, nya.
Pancake_Knight
Even if I cant use a persona I can usr this gun!
Cait_Sith
*eyes gleam* Treasure! Let's open it!
Shadowwaifuaigis
I vote open it.
The_Hunter
YES!
Kuroumi
I'll go with the majority of our group and say open it.
Starwaddle
*opens the chest*
Pancake_Knight
Woot loot!
Mitsuru
*Oh no! Shadows pop out of the chest. The party is ambushed! Enemy turn.*

*Three Merciless Mayas appear and they all cast Agidyne. One at Star, one at Cait and one at Tatsuya. Only Tatsuya is hit. Party turn!*
Starwaddle
...well then...uh... Blazing Hell!?
Pancake_Knight
Look out everyone! I patch up Tatsuya's wound with some medicine.
Kuroumi
Oh god... Persona, Mabufudyne!
Shadowwaifuaigis
Ugh...
Megidolaon again.
*Samael complies*
Mitsuru
(Alright, I'm updating. Late moves may or may not be counted)
Cait_Sith
Gah... Force Dance! (2-5 moderate Force attacks, each one hitting a random enemy. Max of 3 strikes per enemy)
The_Hunter
Magatsu Mandala!

*M. Izanagi drops it on the shadow*
The_Hunter
(That gets redacted)
Mitsuru
*Star's Blazing Hell hits all the shadows, but they seem to not have taken much damage. Kuro's Mabufudyne hits all the shadows and they double over. Does the party go for an AoA? Vote on it, majority rules. The rest of the moves shall progress after.*
Pancake_Knight
Yes let us strike while the enemies are weak!
Cait_Sith
*decides that an AoA would be great*
Starwaddle
Let's go for an all out attack!
The_Hunter
Let's do that!
Mitsuru
(Updaye! Majority has agreed on the AoA)
Mitsuru
*The party pounces on the three MMs, striking at them with all they have. When the dust clears they look like they've taken a beating. Shaigis' attack hits them all, opening the MMs up to the force dance, the Maya in the middle getting hit twice before being defeated. Hunter's attack hits the shadow on the right, ending it's career against the party.*

*The remaining Maya in desperation casts Mabufudyne on the party. It hits everyone, but could have been worse. Party turn!*
Pancake_Knight
Lets finish this!
*slashes with my laser sword
(Light slash damage)
Starwaddle
Just die! *Hits it with a golden hammer*
The_Hunter
Out of the way creeps!

*strikes them with his long sword*
Starwaddle
Ooc: Medium blunt damage.
Mitsuru
(Going to update here. The battle will end with these attacks*
Cait_Sith
Hyah! *swings sword for Slash damage*
Kuroumi
It ends here.
*Shoots for pierce damage*
Mitsuru
*The combined strikes from Pancake Knight, Cait and Star (who crit, might I add) seal the deal. The battle it won! Shuffle Time! 5 swords. The party gets a skill card for Bufudyne. One time use to cast the spell. Now where shall they go next?*
Starwaddle
Great job, team! Let's keep going!
Pancake_Knight
Ooc: ooh I like the use the skill cards
Okay how about it leader?
Tatsuya
OOC: Sorry I vanished IRL stuff.

Mitsuru
(Reminder that this path was a dead end. Of you return there's the right and left paths)
Starwaddle
Let's head right this time.
Shadowwaifuaigis
Agreed
Right it is.
The_Hunter
Good point.
Pancake_Knight
Okay be on guard!
Mitsuru
*Heading to the right the party finds... the stairs? Venture on?*
Starwaddle
Well... let's continue.
Pancake_Knight
No reason not to!
Cait_Sith
Let's go!
The_Hunter
On wards folks!
Mitsuru
*New floor. The party feels an ominous presence when they arrive...*

I sense a strong Shadow everyone. Tread carefully.

*The path only leads forward*
BonafideMonafide04
OOC: hey can I join up now?
Cait_Sith
*raises sword* I'm ready for whatever comes!
The_Hunter
*draws out his sword and engulf it with moonlight*

Stay on foot ahead of the enemy.
Starwaddle
Let's go.
Mitsuru
(You can, but I'm ending it after the next fight for now Bonafide)
Pancake_Knight
Lets all be careful!
BonafideMonafide04
Ooc: k got it
BonafideMonafide04
Alright, let's go guys!
Katsuya
[OOC: I feel awkward joining just before the end but anyways, I'm at the back of the party, so call on me if you need healing or something]
Mitsuru
*The party continues on, eventually making it to an open area. There's a teleprompter and the stairs, but two giant Magic Hands block the way. It looks like you all are in for a fight.*
Pancake_Knight
*Pancake knight pulls out his crossbow and fires a flaming shot
Starwaddle
Blazing Hell!
The_Hunter
*sets up a riposte stance*

Get ready guys!
Cait_Sith
Magic Hands are weak to fire, right? Piece of cake! Let's engage!
Mitsuru
(Finish attacking guys, you all get a first strike.)
Cait_Sith
Fire Dance! (2-5 moderate fire attacks, each hitting a random enemy. Max of 3 hits per enemy. You know the drill)
Katsuya
*Has recovery items ready in hand*
I don't think we'll need too much of these, you guys, so don't prove me wrong!
BonafideMonafide04
*uses mapsio on them*
Attack them, Kappa!
Kuroumi
Here, have some buffs! *Casts Heat Riser on Star*
Shadowwaifuaigis
Megidolaon!
(kinda distracted, sorry)
The_Hunter
Magatsu Mandala!

*Magatsu Izanagi gets summons and uses it*
Mitsuru
(UPDATE)
Mitsuru
*Pancake Knight's shot strikes the leftmost MH and its knocked back a little bit. But... the fire on it is sent right back to him, as if it was reflected!*

*Star's Blazing Hell barrels towards the Shadows and... misses? Unfortunate, but perhaps for the better.*

*Cait's fire dance meets the same fate as the Blazing Hell.*

*Bona's Mapsio strikes them, but the MHs seem to shrug it off.*

*Thanks to Kuro, Star feels stronger, faster and more durable! 3 turns left*

*Hunter's attack hits the left Shadow as well, it looks like it felt it, but still shrugged it off.*

*Shaigis's attack hits both Shadows, dealing a medium amount of damage.*

*Both Shadows lash out, one at Hunter, and the other at Bona. Hunter is missed, but Bona is hit by a critical strike! That MH, simply waits idly. Party turn!*

(Sorry for the slowness. I'm on a phone and there's a lot of you.)
BonafideMonafide04
Ooc: Mitsuru, I know how that feels.
Cait_Sith
OOC: (It's fine!)

They reflect fire! Darn it. Force Dance!
Starwaddle
Okay, so they reflect fire. Let's go! Megaton Raid! *Summons Shadow-sona to fuck one of them up with a frying pan, dealing blunt damage*
BonafideMonafide04
Agh. Katsuya! I could use some healing please!
*shhots ninja stars at the Magic Hands*
This should do some damage!
The_Hunter
Whip them out M. Izanagi.

*he points to the target and he unleashes a barrage of lightning*
Kuroumi
I got you covered! *Casts Diarahan on Bona*
Pancake_Knight
Ooc: its all good
Arghh! Fire!
*Pancake knight quickly puts out the fire before using the skill card we obtained earlier
BonafideMonafide04
Thanks Kuroumi!
Katsuya
I hope this isn't a longer battle than it has to be, so I'll lower their defenses for you guys! Go get'em!
*Casts Marakunda on the enemy*
Mitsuru
(Shaigis will probably post as I type the update. So... UPDATE)
Shadowwaifuaigis
Megidolaon again of course.
Mitsuru
*Katsuya lowers the defense of both shadows! Turns remaining: 3.*

*The Shadow on the left is hit three times by Cait's Force Dance. It's knocked to the ground but gets back up.*

*Star's Megaton Raid hits the same Shadow hard, leaving it reeling before falling to the ground. Critical hit! Once more for Star.*

*Bona's ninja stars go past both the Shadows, missing them.*

*Hunter's lightning misses worse than the ninja stars* (Got some bad rolls)

*Bona is healed by Kuro, way to be a team player.*

*Pancake Knight uses the skill card, casting Mabufudyne. The ice strikes true, dealing some nice damage to both MHs.*

*Shaigis casts the spell once more, the Shadow on the left taking even more punishment, while the one on the right dodges.*

(Take your one more Star)
Starwaddle
Let's go! Megaton Raid! *Summons Shadow-sona to fuck the same one's shit up*
The_Hunter
AUUUGGHH!!!

*Desperation sets off and now is in rage*
Mitsuru
*With that extra Megaton Raid, the Shadow is given its final curtain call and disappears in anew explosion of dark particles. Turns remaining on Stars buffs: 2*

*The remaining MH points at the party before casting Ice Age. Those hit are: Star, Hunter, Cait, and Pancake Knight for quite a bit of damage. Party Turn!*
Cait_Sith
Mee-ow! That hurt... take this! *swings at the Shadow for Slash damage*
BonafideMonafide04
*Casts Mind Slice*
Hope this hits....
Starwaddle
Haha! Ice does nothing to me! Now, meet your fate! Megaton Raid!
BonafideMonafide04
Ooc: Mind slice= Med. physical damage + low chance of confuse to all foes
Katsuya
Woah, I can't let that slide! Assuming it wasn't much for you guys, I'll conserve SP while healing here.
*Casts Media*
Kuroumi
Hope we can kill it! Bufudyne!
Shadowwaifuaigis
Megidolaon one last time!
Mitsuru
*Cait hits the Shadow with his sword, slicing into it and doing good damage for it.*

*Star crits with Megatron Raid once again!*

*AoA from the party?*
BonafideMonafide04
AoA! AoA!
Cait_Sith
Heck yeah! Ready for an All-Out Attack?
The_Hunter
KILL THEM ALL!!

*fumes out hot are*
Starwaddle
All out attack!
Pancake_Knight
They are done for!
Katsuya
No holding back everyone!
Mitsuru
*The Shadow didn't know what hit him before it was too late. The onslaught of attacks from the party spell the end for this Shadow. Bona! Strike a pose and hit us with a victory quote! *
BonafideMonafide04
*spins around and puts 2 fingers in the air*
We sure got them good!
BonafideMonafide04
Ooc: TBH that's the only one I could come up with :P
Starwaddle
*flips the bird* it's over!
Ghost_Akihiko
OOC: May I join this training adventure?
Pancake_Knight
*Swings laser sword around
We did it everyone!
Mitsuru
*With the Shadows defeated, the teleporter begins to shine with a green light, and black bars emerge to seal off the stairs.*

That's good for now everyone. Please return to the entrance.
Mitsuru
(Sorry ghost Aki, I've got to end for now. When I get back to my house I'll see if people want to continue.)
The_Hunter
I need to get my accuracy up. So let's get back.
Starwaddle
Right. We've done our part everyone. Good work! *Enters teleporter*
BonafideMonafide04
Alright.
*gets to the teleporter and heads to the entrance*
Katsuya
*Steps into teleporter*
That sure did make me hungry, though...
Kuroumi
*walks to the teleporter and returns to the entrance.*
Shadowwaifuaigis
That was easy.
*steps onto the teleporter*
Pancake_Knight
Good work everyone!
*does a backflip onto the teleporter!
Cait_Sith
Nice job, nya! *goes into the teleporter*
The_Hunter
What took ya so long guy?

*leans on a chair*
Ghost_Akihiko
OOC: No problem, I will wait for next time then!
Mitsuru
*When everyone returns looka at them all, her face grim. After a second it softens and she graces the party with a smile.*

You all did well out there. I doubt the Shadows knew what hit them before it was too late. This is indeed like the Tartarus of the past, and like before it seems to close off until some external force opens it. You may all take your leave. I have a few more things to take care of here before returning myself. I hope to count on your support from here on out.
Cait_Sith
*bows* Alright then. Farewell, nya! *walks outside*
Starwaddle
The Mementos Exploration Squadron was happy to be of service. Please call us if you need anymore help with Tartarus.
Kuroumi
I'm happy to help. Farewell.
The_Hunter
Yeah so... wanna go to LeBlanc to rest?
Starwaddle
Sure. Let's head to LeBlanc. Drinks are on me!
Pancake_Knight
Okay Leblanc time!
Pancake_Knight
Call us the next time we go in!
