Demonic Retribution: Nightmares

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

The_Dark_Messiah

*With that, the revolting amalgamate screeches in pain, before falling to the ground, impaling itself on it's own blades. The body rumbles, before a gash in it's body opens, revealing another crystal key, this time a blueish hue.*

*Satan grabs the key from it's body and puts it in his pocket*

We must keep moving. The more time we waste, the less likely we will reobtain Shiza.

*He runs out of the tunnel and out into the pouring rain, waiting for the rest of the crew*

Tsugumi-Chan

H-Hey, Lucifer! Wait up! *she catches up.... But she was going too fast and ended up tripping and falling in a puddle...*

The_Dark_Messiah

*He takes her hand and raises her up with a smile*

Be more careful, will you?

*A crack of thunder rings throughout the sky, booming and echoing within the walls of the courtyard*

Tsugumi-Chan

*she laughs* S-Sorry about that... *at the sound of thunder, she flinches*

Kuroumi

OOC: Mkay, I'm back. Let me just catch up on what I missed for a moment.

The_Dark_Messiah

*He smiles at Yang's reaction to the thunder*

Afraid of a little thunder, Yang? How cute.

*He chuckles and looks toward the right tunnel*

We must keep moving, for Caeser's sake.

*He walks into the third tunnel, waiting in the opening*

Unit_Spectre

*he lights a flare as a torch for light*

So how long we are in this place anyways?

Tsugumi-Chan

I have, er... Bad memories...of a human thundercloud.... She was, er... Intimidating in fights...

Unit_Spectre

You mean Nora?

Tsugumi-Chan

Yes, Spectre. I do mean, Nora...

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan turns to Spectre*

We will be here as long as Shiza still lives.

*He pats Yang*

Do not worry, this is only rain. No reason to be afraid...

*He gives her a comforting smile before continuing down the tunnel and inserting the crystal in the other slot. He turns the crank, and with a metallic clang, the door opens, revealing a large hall. The high ceiling has engraving within the rock and he windows are made of stained glass. Tapestries adorn the wall, depicting the rise and fall of the people who lived within this stronghold*

Tsugumi-Chan

*she enters the hall and looks around, taking in the surroundings*

The_Dark_Messiah

This place is oddly beautiful for such a place of evil and despair...

*At the far end of the room lies a rectangular table with what looksblike what's left of a feast, the food rotten and moldy. Beyond that lies a doorway, and to the right, stairs.*

Tsugumi-Chan

*she cringes at the rotting food* Aww, what a waste... *she looks at the doorway and at the stairs* ....y'know, this place is really pretty... But why does this remind me of Haunting Ground...?

The_Dark_Messiah

*Abaddon's shrill voice rings out once more, an edge of excitement to it*

"You're almost here! So very close...Perhaps I should prepare something more fitting for your arrival. But I digress, I must slow you down, before you get here and catch me before I'm ready. Guards! Stop them!"

*A horde of undead burst through the floor and walls, each of them randomly equip in weapons and armor*

*Party Turn*

Unit_Spectre

*he looks around at the food*

Compositions of the food is human...

The_Dark_Messiah

*The eight zombies stand in your way toward the doorway, which slammed shut and locked.*

Spectre, we are under assault by the undead, could you please pay attention?

Unit_Spectre

*sees the undead*

That wrong on so many levels!

That was easy. Shall we move on?

bomb

bombs this very bad fight

Tsugumi-Chan

Tsugumi-Chan

*she kicks the bomb sending it flying out of a stained glass window*

bomb

super tsuguteruuu

Unit_Spectre

*sees the bomb*

What is that thing here?!

The_Dark_Messiah

*The only path not blocked is up the stairs. From the second floor you can hear screams and crying*

Aincrad_Hazel

Aincrad walks up from behind the group. "Well let's go save some souls shall we? This Angel is in for a world of pain."

Unit_Spectre

*he retracts his Hyrdra minigun and pulls out his M8A7 rifle*

That sounds bad...

Tsugumi-Chan

*she hears the screams and crying* ..........you would think torture chambers would be in a basement or a dungeon...

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan shakes his head*

I'm starting to recognize this place...this is a place of my past and his, in which they twisted together...

Aincrad_Hazel

"Ahhh I see what's happening now. Darkie I can't believe I'm saying this, but is it possible you would get manipulated by whatever is up there? If so keep your head then. I'll go check it out and report back." Aincrad walks past everyone and up the stairs looking around the floor.

The_Dark_Messiah

N-NO! Stay here...We should all go...

*His face is emotionless*

Aincrad_Hazel

Aincrad stops and sits in the middle of the stairs. "Darkie what's wrong?... are you scared of losing us?"

The_Dark_Messiah

*He lowers his head*

I have lost many friends. Now that I'm human, I feel a bigger variety of feelings. Loss is one I do not like...

Tsugumi-Chan

I feel you, Luce. But you won't lose any of us, I promise! I don't plan on dying today! *she pulls out a thermos from her bag and takes a swig from it*

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan starts climbing the stairs*

Are you coming to investigate too, or not?

Aincrad_Hazel

He jumps down and pats him on the shoulder. "One, welcome to humanity. It's going to be a battle of feelings but we live for the happy ones. Two, well I'll do my best not to get lost or for anyone to get lost. Including you Darkie. So no sacrificing yourself for no reason, you hear?"

The_Dark_Messiah

OOC: I got to go, I'll be back in an hour or so. I will continue it afterward.

Tsugumi-Chan

...I just hope I don't fall going UP the stairs... *she begins to ascend up the stairs*

Tsugumi-Chan

(Okie dokes!)

The_Dark_Messiah

OOC: Alrighty, I'm back.

IC: As the group esclates up the stone stone steps, the screams in pain and the tormented crying is more audible, becoming louder with each step. Once at the top, the screaming stops, replsced by a hushed voice whispering the words, "Be quiet, they've coming!" The room seems to be a hallway is revealed, with six doors lining the path, and a single door at the end.*

Unit_Spectre

*he looks around*

Yeash... Abbadon's castle feels more like a haunted house the more we step in.

The_Dark_Messiah

*He shudders*

You said it. This place is creepy, on top of the fact that this place seems familiar...

The_Dark_Messiah

*The hallway has large paintings lining the walls, some depicting bloody battles, some peaceful nature scenery. A few potted plants add themselves to the list of decor, but they have long died, their dry husks sprawling the pots*

Kuroumi

I want to get this over with... This place is starting to creep me out...

The_Dark_Messiah

So...should we investigate the sounds, or search the rooms?

Aincrad_Hazel

"Oh sweet a haunted mansion!" He chuckles and yells down the halls. "Hellllloooooooo ghosties!"

Tsugumi-Chan

(I'll be back, I'm off to get food. Shall return shortly)

The_Dark_Messiah

OOC: Alrighty then.

Aincrad_Hazel

(See ya soon)

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan snaps his fingers*

Heeello? Guys? What's our choice here?

Kuroumi

How about search the rooms? It could give us some clues.

Aincrad_Hazel

"What Kuro said." He opens one of the doors. "We should be fine."

The_Dark_Messiah

*Upon opening one of the doors, it reveals a kitchen of sorts. The fireplace it put out, only ash within it. A table and chairs are knocked over on their sides and a cupboard was been knocked down, shattered on the floor*

Aincrad_Hazel

Yawning he walks in. "Y'all coming in? Just a lousy kitchen." He walks forward and brushes away at the ash. "Anything here?"

Kuroumi

*Kuro walks in and stares at the knocked over chairs and table.*

What an unkempt kitchen. But what can I expect from an angel like Abbadon.

The_Dark_Messiah

*Within the ash there seems to be what's left of a torn note. It reads "Beware the one who walks with death..."*

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan walks into the kitchen, observing the objects*

I believe this castle was already like this when he found it...Something seems strange about it though, but I can't put my finger on it..

Aincrad_Hazel

"Hey Darkie, who walks with death, cause this note is telling me to beware them." Yawning he pockets the note and joins Darkie.

Unit_Spectre

*looks at the poorly managed kitchen*

... this looks like when Ruin's tries to clean the kitchen... but with Gravity Spikes...

The_Dark_Messiah

"He who walks with death"...Where have I heard that before..? No matter, we must keep moving and search the other rooms. There must be a key or something for the door forward.

Unit_Spectre

OOC: I'm going to at work. have fun.

Aincrad_Hazel

"Alrighty folks! Let's keep looking around!" He walks back out and opens a new door. "Let's see what's behind door number two!"

Aincrad_Hazel

(See ya)

The_Dark_Messiah

(See ya Spec. And then there were three)

*Satan tuns out of the room and opens the door on the opposite side of the hall, revealing a completely empty room, save for a few cobwebs and dust*

That saves us some trouble...Onto the next one.

*We goes a bit down the hall and opens the door next to the entrance of the kitchen, which is another entrance to it*

*Sigh* Next...

*He goes across the hall and opens the next door, which reveals a bedroom, the matress made of straw bloodied and a dresser's drawers thrown on the other side of the room. The mirror deeply scratched*

Oookay then. Anyone want to search this one?

Aincrad_Hazel

He runs in and belly flops onto the mattress. "Oowwww not the best idea." He then goes searching through the mattress for anything.

Kuroumi

*She looks at the drawers that were thrown.*

What a tidy room. It doesn't bother me as much as that kitchen though.

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan looks at Aincrad witha disturbed look*

You just jumped into a bloodied matress without thinking a second thought?

*Nothing is revealed within the matress, besides a blood-stained knife hiden among the straw*

The_Dark_Messiah

*with a, hidden

Have I mentioned how much I hate mobile yet?

Aincrad_Hazel

"There was a mattress. There was me, and I am weird. Have to enjoy the little things mein freund. Plus it's easier if you think it's ketchup." He gets up and takes the knife, then breaks the mirror. "Now for bad luck and maybe a key."

The_Dark_Messiah

*Upon breaking the mirror, a ghost is released into the room. With a whispering voice, it speaks: "Why do you search this hellish place? Run, before uour soul is trapped here as well. Beware the one who walks with death...Beware...! With that, the ghozt disappears, and the mirror pieces itself back together*

The_Dark_Messiah

*your, ghost

Kuroumi

What the hell does it mean by "One who walks with death"? Sounds creepy.

Aincrad_Hazel

".... I'm gonna break it again. Maybe get some info outta the ghost. He seems to know some stuff." With that he readies his the blade. "Any objections?"

The_Dark_Messiah

I do not know, Kuro, but we must tread more carefully.

*He glares at Aincrad*

Aincrad_Hazel

"Fine fine, but I swear if they are talking about Abbadon, we best get ready. We might be able to free their spirits as well."

Tsugumi-Chan

(Am back with subway)
I am ever so slightly disturbed..

The_Dark_Messiah

I can only assume so, Aincrad. Let us search the last three rooms.

*He walks back out into the hallway. Three doors remain, one at the end of the hall and one on either side of the hallway*

The_Dark_Messiah

(What sandwhich? Also, is this creepy yet? I might end up modifying this into a short story)

Aincrad_Hazel

He opens the one on the left. "Gotta look everywhere first. Just to be safe."

Tsugumi-Chan

(Teriyaki chicken on Italian herbs and cheese bread with spinach, lettuce, tomato, extra pickle, mayo and chipotle sauce. And this is quite creepy...)

Aincrad_Hazel

(Then there's me just making this less creepy.)

Kuroumi

OOC: I love the creepiness actually.

The_Dark_Messiah

*The room is the tidiest of all, with several small beds lining one side of the way, and a single chest. A large spatter of blood lies on the far wall, with a decaying corpse below it*

Aincrad_Hazel

He slowly closes the door. "Well you know, clean the blood and body, and it's pretty nice."

The_Dark_Messiah

(If it's creepy, I'm doing something right. I usually get a Italian BMT with lettuce, banana peppers, red onions, green peppers snd honey mustard, @Tsugumi-Chan. It's SO good.)

Tsugumi-Chan

Agreed, Ain...

The_Dark_Messiah

Shouldn't we check the chest, or...? I could have something useful, but knowing what happened with the last chest...

Kuroumi

Then to the next door.

*Kuro already opened the next door.*

Aincrad_Hazel

"Those who are squeamish, I recommend staying out here while I go open that chest, all agreed?" He leans against the door.

Tsugumi-Chan

(If only I liked green peppers and onion.... And I usually get jalapeÃ±o, but they were fresh out ;w;)

Tsugumi-Chan

*she looks around the room* Think there's a change of clothes in here? These wet clothes are getting uncomfortable...

Aincrad_Hazel

"Well never mind then." He walks forward and opens the chest. "Ello ghostie."

The_Dark_Messiah

*Within the room Kuroopened, it looks like a kid's room, with two small beds and a toy chest, half open with rotting wooden toys still laying out. The singular dresser with a mirror sits in the corner, the drawers open and the mirror shattered*

The_Dark_Messiah

*Aincrad opens the chest, revealing a few sets of white clothes, a dagger, and a leather-bound journal*

Tsugumi-Chan

*she looks over Aincrad's shoulder* Any dry clothes?

Aincrad_Hazel

He grabs the clothes and tosses them to Yang then grabs the dagger and notebook to flip through it. "Yay!"

Kuroumi

*She closes the door.*

Nope... That's passing my limit.

*Kuro looks over Aincrad's other shoulder.*

What's the journal?

Tsugumi-Chan

*she looks at the clothes* .....reminds me of an espada...

Aincrad_Hazel

"Seems to be it these items may belong to the corpse over there." He point at it. "Wouldn't surprise me."

Aincrad_Hazel

(That not it)

The_Dark_Messiah

*Within the journal, there are entries that seem to be from a woman, a servant to a wealthy family, specifically. The entries follow her daily life and the events within it, good or bad. This goes on until the final entry, where it vividly delicts the horrible events that took place in the castle. It reads:

"The guards are telling us to hide. They're saying most of the decenses hwve been destroyed already, with a small fraction defending outside. The courtyard and everyone out there hss been slaughtered by some sort of monster. The children are crying and the rest of the servents are trying to calm them down, telling them that everything'll he okay, even thought we know otherwise.

I can see the corpses from the window, as the monster finishes off what little still lives out there, human or animal. I hear it banging on the walls, trying to enter...

It finally broke through. I heard the guards scream in agony as they died, and the din it made while destroying the furniture. Oh no, it sounds like it's climbing the steps...

BEWARE THE ONE WHO WALKS WITH DEATH BEWARE THE ONE WHO WALKS WITH DEATH BEWARE THE ONE WHO WALKS WITH DEATH..."

The_Dark_Messiah

(There are so many errors, I'm not gonna bother correcting them)

The_Dark_Messiah

(@Aincrad_Hazel What do you mean?)

Aincrad_Hazel

Slowly he closes the book and places it on the corpse. "Soooooo books are evil now. What was in the other room Kuro? Also don't read it. Never touch that book again."

Aincrad_Hazel

(Seems to be that*)

The_Dark_Messiah

What was so bad within the book?

Tsugumi-Chan

*she re-enters the room, but instead of the white clothes, she's wearing weird maid clothes....* Those white ones didn't fit and I found these in a supply closet... They do fit, however. What was in the book?

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan stares a Yang, perhaps a little too long...*

Uh...Shiza'll kill to see you in that...It's...ahem...one of his, uh...nevermind...

Aincrad_Hazel

He chuckles. "To put it bluntly? Exactly how all the corpses got here. Then more beware of death. Isn't the best read. 1/5 stars."

Tsugumi-Chan

*she smirks at Satan, but her smirk falls at Aincrad's words* Ohh... That's.. Er... That sounds bad, very very bad...

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan weakly chuckles*

We have one more room to search. Shall we?

*He gestures to the exit*

Kuroumi

OOC: IRL conversations in the way. Dammit.
IC:
In that other room? Just a kid's bedroom. And let's get this done with.

*She grips her sword tightly, ready for anything.*

Aincrad_Hazel

"Unfortunately no. Kuro just looked at the other. Need to search it first." He opens the door to the children's room and weakly laughs. "Anyone ready for creepy kids...?"

Tsugumi-Chan

I am prepared to search creepy kids rooms. Let's us go.

Tsugumi-Chan

*let us go

The_Dark_Messiah

Bring it.

*His tone of voice doesn't resonate the confidence those words should entail. If anything, he sounds nervous, to say the least*

Tsugumi-Chan

*she looks at Satan* Nervous, are we?

Aincrad_Hazel

Taking a breath he walks in and starts looking around, particularly in the toy chest. "Well as long as the shining twins aren't here we are good."

Unit_Spectre

OOC: I am back. Gotta balance media with my work
IC: *he enavles his Kinetic Armor*

I see somthing coming at us.

The_Dark_Messiah

*He turns to Yang with a grimace*

Aren't you? We don't know what the hell is in here with us. Also, I can't take you serious with that outfit on.

The_Dark_Messiah

*The toy chest is empty, along with the room itself. The drawers only contain children's clothing.*

Tsugumi-Chan

Okay, Satan, I'm not nervous because one, I've dealt with things far scarier like giant scorpions, birds, and two-headed snakes, and I already met two creepy kids. And hey, this outfit's better than wearing a swimsuit.

Aincrad_Hazel

Sighing he leaves the room. "Now we can get going. Thank god."

The_Dark_Messiah

*He blushes*

Y-Yes...stick with the maid outfit, please. I'd rather not have Shiza breathing down my neck...

Unit_Spectre

You mean the Nevermore, Taijitsu and Deathstalker? I called in titan Ion and squashed them all.

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan opens the final door. It opens with a creak, revealing a room with a mirror with a pentagram on the far wall, painted in blood. Another corpse hsngs from the ceiling by a rope around it's throat. All around the walls the phrase "Beware the one who walks with death" is written repeatedly in blood. A single chest sits in the room.*

O-Oh jesus christ.

Aincrad_Hazel

"Well fuck."

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan turns away from the room, ready to wretch*

Ugh, it smells of death in there...I'm not feeling to good...

Unit_Spectre

Look at that. The demon king is saying the lord of the high heavens... but to be fair this place is disturbing. Not as the war with the 54 Immortals at Singapore.

Tsugumi-Chan

*she looks at the pentagram* Shabbily made devil's trap... They forgot the runes in between the five points. *she walks into the room, examining the corpse*

Unit_Spectre

*gives Satan a gas mask*

Enjoy. Glad thing I have a air filter in my helmet

Aincrad_Hazel

He grabs the dagger and throws it at the rope cutting it. "No one deserves that fate." Sighing he walks forward and checks the chest. "Yay...."

The_Dark_Messiah

*He takes a deep breath*

I-I am fine. Last time I checked that's not how a gas mask worked, Spec.

Kuroumi

*Kuro puts her arm on Satan's shoulder.*

You'll be fine. Trust me, I've seen worse shit than this.

The_Dark_Messiah

*Within the chest is an ornate golden key. It glows and shines in the dimly lit room.*

I believe that is the key we are looking for.

The_Dark_Messiah

Thank you Kuro. You are a better friend than a demon could ask for.

Unit_Spectre

Wonder what that does.

*looks at the key while turning the gas mask to an air filter mask*

Aincrad_Hazel

He picks it up. "Oh yay. Where do we put it? Cause I'm thinking the mirror if there is no lock on any door."

Tsugumi-Chan

*she draws runes in between the points of the pentagram* There. That's better.

The_Dark_Messiah

The door downstairs, remember? That is our path forward.

Unit_Spectre

... WHY doing that Yang!? Drawing or fixing pentagrams are a bad idea! Look at Takio, Tank, Richtophen, and Nikolai.

Aincrad_Hazel

"Oh right. First... Yang can we break that mirror, I don't want any surprises. Then let's get the hell out of here. Tis not a nice place. 0/5 stars."

The_Dark_Messiah

I believe it is pronounced Takeo, but yes, he has a point.

Unit_Spectre

*he swaps his auto rifle to his silenced Dark Matter Argus*

Lets's head back to the door!

Tsugumi-Chan

*she looks at Spectre* It's a devil's trap, guys. Any demon that enters the trap gets stuck. *she breaks the circle of the pentagram* But since you're against it.... And have at it, Ain

Aincrad_Hazel

Starts walking back down. "Let's end this folks. Darkie, you're the one with the knowledge here, tell us what we are up against."

Unit_Spectre

*his two demon snakes and some small wriggling tendrils emerges out of his back*

Seems Tooth and Claw is reacting to something. Satan, do you have your serpent Beezlebub?

The_Dark_Messiah

*The mirror shatters, revealing a spectral image of an angel dressed in gray robes stained with blood, and it holds a scythe. Where it's face should be, a skull*

"You get so very close...perhaps I should reward you...? NO! Now die!"

*A rumbling is heard from under the floorboards of the room. Another amalgamate raises itself through the hole it made in the floor and pulls out a large hammer. This one is completely humanoid, but looks as though it has been stitched together, like frankenstein*

"You didn't think it'd be that easy, did you? I'll be waiting...

*With that, the image disappears*

Time to fight! Get ready!

Aincrad_Hazel

"... Okay that's on me. But this I'm used to." He smirks and twirls his cane. "Hephaestus! Time for a showstopper!" He points his cane at the amalgam as blue flames encroach behind Aincrad. "Kouagon!" White spears get sent flying towards the beast as Hepheastus is fully summoned.

Aincrad_Hazel

Aincrad chuckles. "No not really. I just wanted to surprise you." He bows as Hephaestus turns into Shadow. "Turns out he's my Persona."

The_Dark_Messiah

*He turns to Spectre with a sad look, on the verge of tears*

Beelz...Beelz is dead, Spec. I thought you knew...?

*Update*

OOC: Honestly this is a poor rip off of dungeons and dragons

Unit_Spectre

"Never mind him, heal us!"

"Fine."

The_Dark_Messiah

*Once again, the monster topples over, hitting the ground with a loud slam. The hammer falls to it's side as well, landing with a metallic clang. The monster's recently deceased corpse shudders and ruptures, revealing a yellow-colored crystal.*

BonafideMonafide04

I wonder what that crystal is?

Tsugumi-Chan

We already opened that door... Wonder what that crystal's for.

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan shrugs*

If it exists, it has a use. Grab it and we'll keep moving.

*He says as he turns to head down the stairs*

BonafideMonafide04

*picks up the crystal and heads downstairs*

The_Dark_Messiah

*The group heads back down the stairs, the flesh of the slaughtered undead from before smearing the scenery with blood. The golden key obtained upstairs glows as you get closer to the locked wooden door.*

Tsugumi-Chan

....soo, who's gonna unlock it?

BonafideMonafide04

I think that key was for this door.

Aincrad_Hazel

"Ugh you know some weird other worldly beings Darkie. Can't say I like their interior decorating." He shiver a bit and stand near the door.

The_Dark_Messiah

Uh...you guys did that, not Abaddon. Anyway, without further ado...

Aincrad_Hazel

"Yeah but he's the one who put them there. Not to mention the rooms from before, and the corpse of the maid." He readies his sword. "Well let's kick his ass. And I hope you still aren't startled about Shadow. I can explain after this."

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan twists the golden key in the lock, he door opening with a clang. It slowly opens, revealing a desecrated throne room, the golden throne itself tarnished and falling apart. Torn tapestries lie on the floor, and a few of the pillars lining the faded red carpet walkway in ruins. Another corpse lies pinned in the wall via a spear through the chest, dressed in royal garbs. A large arrow written in blood points downward behind the throne*

Aincrad_Hazel

"See?! Awful interior decorating! Look at this!" He kicks at the tapestries. "All ruined." Sighing he kicks at the throne. "Either move or break you daft Throne."

BonafideMonafide04

This is creepy..

Tsugumi-Chan

*she seems slightly disturbed* Ehh...

The_Dark_Messiah

If you think this is creepy, you should've seen the rest of the castle...

*He seems slgihtly unnerved*

A-Anyway, we should search the area. There must be a way forward.

Aincrad_Hazel

Aincrad sits in the Throne. "Welp, if this doesn't summon an angry ghost ready to give us information, then I don't know what will." Smirking he jumps off and investigates the throne and the area around it.

Tsugumi-Chan

*she looks at the corpse* ...... *she grabs hold of the spear and attempts to pull it out of the corpse*

The_Dark_Messiah

Y-Yang, don't disturb the dead...

Tsugumi-Chan

Gah, it won't budge... *she stops and looks at the corpse with pity* No one disturbs a fate like that, though...

Tsugumi-Chan

*deserves. Bruh....

BonafideMonafide04

Wait let's check behind the throne.

Tsugumi-Chan

*she looks at the throne. She gives it a little kick, then looks behind it, speaking in a high-pitched tone* Housekeeping?

The_Dark_Messiah

*The throne budges just a tiny bit, revealing a dark cavern underneath*

Tsugumi-Chan

*she then begins to push the throne with all she has* Nnngh...! Gah! Moooovvve!!!

BonafideMonafide04

*helps yang by also pushing*

The_Dark_Messiah

*The throne moves further, making a loud metallic scraping noise*

Aincrad_Hazel

(So I take it I got hit with invisibility?)

Tsugumi-Chan

S-So close...! Push harder, Bona!! *she continues to push*

The_Dark_Messiah

(I dunno, did ya?)

BonafideMonafide04

I'm... Pushing... Has hard as I can! *uses telekinesis to make it somewhat easier to push*

The_Dark_Messiah

*The throne finally makes a loud clang as it has fully revealed the deep hole. There's no method of climbing down, and all you can see is a pitch-black darkness*

Tsugumi-Chan

....? *she kicks a rock into the hole, in hopes of seeing how deep it goes*

The_Dark_Messiah

*After eight of the longest seconds of silence, it hits the bottom with a quiet thud*

Tsugumi-Chan

Soo.... Crap, I'm out of gravity dust, so there's no safely floating down...

The_Dark_Messiah

Perhaps a little demon magic'll help.

*With a flick of his wrist, the party is enveloped in a red haze.*

Will that work?

Kuroumi

OOC: Fuck, I'm so late. Sorry, last day of this damn vacation and I abandoned this site....

Tsugumi-Chan

(It's all good~)
That'll help a ton, Luce! ...I volunteer Bona to go first. *she attempts to push Bona into the hole* Good luck!

The_Dark_Messiah

(You're fine Kuro. I assume you can fill yourself in on what's happened? Also, I only planned until the tunnels, at this point I'm pulling stuff out of my ass)

Aincrad_Hazel

(Welp I'm gone. And I have work tomorrow so I guess I'm out then. See ya.)

The_Dark_Messiah

(Bye. Just pretend Bona isn't here)

The_Dark_Messiah

Well, no time like the present.

*Satan jumps in and floats to the bottom. He then lights a fire within his hand*

Come down!

Tsugumi-Chan

*she jumps down after him* Aaaand superhero landing!

Kuroumi

*Kuro jumps in, landing softly on her feet. Blue fur lands around her.*

That was actually enjoyable. But this coat fur keeps coming off...

Tsugumi-Chan

*she looks at Kuro's coat* ....better than this maid outfit. The skirt on this thing almost flashed everyone, thank god they weren't paying attention to me during those times...

The_Dark_Messiah

*He gestures to the tunnel's winding path*

Ladies, shall we?

Kuroumi

I'm always ready Lucifer.

*She holds her sword tightly.*

BonafideMonafide04

Ooc: sorry I was too engrossed in leblanc
Ic: well I'm not a lady but I'm ready.

The_Dark_Messiah

*He unsheathes his sword, holding it with one hand as he walks further down the tunnel. The tunnel itself is dark and wet, with water dripping audible throughout. Loose rocks plague the ground, tripping our protagonists as they walk further into the depths. Soon the tunnel becomes a catacombs, skeletons sit within their own compartments in the walls, some of the bones having spilled out onto the floor. Another entryway blocks off the path ahead, a single slot as a key*

BonafideMonafide04

Huh. I guess we gotta put something in?

The_Dark_Messiah

...The yellow crystal? Have you even been paying attention?

Tsugumi-Chan

*she goes further in to examine the surroundings*

Tsugumi-Chan

Bona, put the crystal in that slot right there

BonafideMonafide04

Oh, right. *puts in the crystal*
I kinda wanted to sell it...

Tsugumi-Chan

Okay, that's done... *she looks at all the bones and skeletons* Can we move on? This place is not appealing in the slightest...

Unit_Spectre

*walks up to the group armor severely damaged and signs of demon corruption shows on open cuts of his suit*

Did I miss anything?

The_Dark_Messiah

(Shit I fell asleep again. Oh well. The final boss is in this next room, and I've planned him to be difficult, so I suggest having the entire group. I will start this up again at 8:30PM EST, that way I can hopefully include Spec and Aincrad in this because of their widly different timezones. I'll see ya then, goodnight.)

Tsugumi-Chan

(Goodnight, sleep tight! Don't let the hollows bite~)

The_Dark_Messiah

Bump for angelic downfall

FemBFMF04

*walks to the castle* Abaddon, you're going down.

FemBFMF04

Ooc: felt it was necessary

The_Dark_Messiah

(Well, duh. Thanks Bona, you're the best.)

FemBFMF04

Ooc: no prob

Gin

*Gin is sitting nearby* I was starting to think I got the wrong castle.

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan stands before the cavern gate, a wide smile on his face* Here is where you fall, bastard. You all ready!? *He flourishes his sword, finishing by pointing it skyward*

Tsugumi-Chan

*she smirks behind her mask* Let's beat up an angel.

naho

pat and toby: *had their zombie survivor gear on them* were ready

Ikebu_Kuro

OOC: is this where we continuing or is this completely different?

The_Dark_Messiah

*Satan jams the yellow crystal into the slot and aggressively turns the crank, pushing the door inward with such a force that it falls off the hinges and hits the ground with a slam. Abaddon stares at the display through the empty eye sockets in his skull, impressed. From his throne made of human bones, he's a disturbing sight to behold*
