End to the curse...
[The old town is quiet and empty, aside from a lone man. He walks up to an old, barren tree in the center. With a click, he fits the stone wings into the statue he is holding.] [The moth-like statue is complete. It's time to give the adventures the fruits of their labor...]
OOC: Can I join?
ooc: obviously yes
*Dio, on Silver Bullet, goes to the statue* "So it's finally complete huh?"
falls from a portal Greetings.
[The Heir nods, setting the statue on the ground. It shimmers with a blue light.] "Indeed. It's finally complete. All I have to do is say the spell, and the corruption plaguing these lands will disappear."
Squigly And Leviathan come out of the woods, serpent’s eyes glancing around for a hint of white wings S: So this is what we were looking for? L: make sure to be careful good sir, who knows what else is interested in your relic over there.
nods Go ahead then. he is on guard, just in case
"Hopefully it will go away, and then I can return to that Tokyo place."
*he catches up with the group looking alive* Lukas: Hey guys! I've been looking for you for day. Ion: Radar is seemed damaged when re-spawning became available.
*Dio pulls out a strange looking golden arrow from his pocket and puts it to his side*
[The Heir nods, and closes his eyes. He begins muttering something, causing the statue to shudder.] [Levaithan notices something white dart above them, but it bursts into a shower of white particles, which descend into the statue.] "...Mu!" [With the end of the spell, the statue cracks, and the ground begins to shake...]
Walks up to the group, not bothered by the ground shaking
I knew it couldn't be so easy...
*he braces himself for the tremors* Lukas: What is going on?! Ion: Warning, massive tectonic shifts begins to emerge.
Leviathan looks around the area while Squigly struggles to keep their balance S: What’s going on, did you see anything? L: It seems out new foe is finally about to reveal themselves. Stay calm milady, everything will be alright. S: I’m always ready Leviathan, where are they? L: they flew into the statue, I imagine that’s where it’ll start
*Dio gets in a fighting position just a as THE WORLD appears next to him* "I'm getting a bad feeling from this."
ooc: Upcoming posts may be slow due to a certain someone's life. Thank you. ic...: Pure blackness leaks out of the statue, spreading until the entire area is completely dark- save for the unlucky individuals gathered around here, who can be seen just fine. "I thank you, Heir, for helping me with this. Your part of the deal is over." The man looks around, but keeps his voice steady. "As promised, you'll cure this land?" "Of course..." The voice is distorted, and its gender and age can't be judged. Faint whispers join it.

*Dio just stands there, looking at the darkness around him*
waiting
Leviathan turns to the heir, scales bristling as though he were an angry cat L: So, you’ve been hearing these whispers for some time then? S: You should never trust something that claims it’ll fulfill your wishes S+L: It can only end in disaster
Walks in front of Squiggly, Cannon at the ready
turns to Stella What are you doing?
"But... those books said..." He trails off as the presence seems to swell in intensity. "I didn't lie completely, Heir. I can drain the cursed energy from this land... But I'll be putting it to my own use. All this negative energy, generated by the evils of gods and men... come!" The unseen ground shakes, and the whispering becomes louder. The air becomes so thick with energy that it's almost suffocating.
*he frows discomfort to the shift* Lukas: Why is my head going foggy?
chuckle This is going to be fun.
Silently Guards Squiggly
*Dio tightly grips the arrow* "Let's finish this already."
Squigly steps back while Leviathan coils his tail protectively in front of the two L: Monster, Demon, you have no place in this world S: please, return from whence you came and we won’t have to go any further. L: and you, inheritor, such a fool to try the easy way. No wonder your estate is in ruin S: Isn’t that a touch harsh? L: I speak only the truth milady
prepares to fight. Good luck guys.
*he loads a bullet into his Flatline assault rifle* Lukas: Back to the combat right Addalme?
ooc:,My apologies, the user was busy with shopping. ic..; The energy swells... "You wish to fight me? You've already lost this fight." The voices rise to a screech, and all feeling is lost... ... Slowly, each person regains their senses, but finds themselves alone in a dark room...
................ Stella looks around, gauging her surroundings
sigh Are you alright guys?
*he shakes his head as he tries to turn on his helmet flash light* Luaks: My head hurts... anyone alright? Squigly? Diego? Addalme?!
Stella is lying on the bed of what appears to be a guest room. She can faintly see a lamp on the nightstand. Addalme gets no response. The pilot's light flickers on, revealing a room with countless bookshelves. Some fleshy-looking stuff is in patches on the walls and shelves.
(edited by Heart)
chuckle Well, let's see what I have here. searchs around
*Dio looks around* "W-Where am I?" Ooc: Sorry, I was doing something.
*he feels disturbed of the scenery and gets up and readies his weapon* Lukas: I need to find my friends... *he starts wandering the library-sh area*
Picks up the lamp and looks around as much as she can
The pair slowly stir to their senses, Leviathan helping Squiglh drag herself off the ground S: I’m fine now at least. L: coward, not even facing us themselves Squigly begins to pet Leviathan while the pair look around S: It’ll be alright, we’ll find the creature soon enough. Now, mind giving us a light? L: of course milady. Leviathan raises his tail in front of the pair, spear-like tip seperating to shoot a small jet of flame and illuminate the area
Lukas finds more of the fleshy patches, as well as a stack of books. Someone has practically built a fort out of the heavy volumes. Addalme is greeted with the sight of an ordinary hallway, or so it seems. Light shines in through a window. Diego's head bumps against something. It seems he awakened underneath a burnt-out fireplace. Stella finds some dark, fleshy patches on the walls, but not much else. The door appears to be unlocked, although she also notices that the nightstand has drawers The snake and girl duo, illuminated by the flames, find themselves at the center of many crates and peculiar objects. A storage room?
looks through the window Hello?
*Dio rubs his head* "Oww... Where are the others?" *He gets up and walks around*
*he continues to wander in the fort with his weapon aiming at his general direction* Lukas: I hope Addalme and the others are alright...
Opens the door, Canon at the ready
OOC: Sorrry, I gtg, bye.
(edited by Addalme)
Addalme is greeted with the sight of a bright, grassy field. The window is on the second floor above it. Diego can't see much in the darkness, but this living room has multiple fluffy chairs. They look perfect for resting in. Lukas knocks over the wall of books, earning a frightened yelp from the occupant. A cloaked person tries to hide in the newly-formed pile. Stella steps out into a hallway, squishing some flesh under her boot. She can hear footsteps to her right.
*he aims at the newly made pile* Lukas: You there... where am I?
*Dio looks at the chairs* "Damn, I wish I could sleep in those kind of chairs at the inn. Maybe I could... No, I have to find the others." *Dio looks around for any other rooms*
The pair begin to search the storage room for anything that could be of some use S: we’re quite far from the spot we found the demon L: or we could be in its own realm, like Double’s Gehenna S: fair point, I suppose nothing is really safe here, is it?
Aims her canon to her right Identify yourself.....
*he makes a strict face at the pile* Lukas: I know you're there!
The shivering figure turns around, revealing itself to be... the Heir? His hand is clawed and bloody, like a monster from the adventures. "It... It's the library of my mansion..." Dio sees three doors, each on a different wall. The rightmost door seems best. Squigly and Leviathan find some food stored away, as well as some odd charms. Probably just relics.
*he takes a sigh and puts the rifle away* Lukas: Paranoid fuck... what even happened back there with the statue?
Squigly begins excitedly grabbing the charms and trinkets while Leviathan keeps a careful eye throughout the area S: My mother used to show me these sorts of weird, cool things. Can I keep them? L: Well, I don't see why not milady, so long as you don't value them too highly. We may need to drop them at some point.
Stella's cannon points at a lop-eared dog. It tilts its head and paws the ground.
....................... Engaging Hostile.. Stella, not knowing what a dog is, Boosts back and fires a charged shot at the creature OVERHEAT: 3
(edited by Stella_Grey)
[Eff it, we're going back to this. Let italics stay when editing, Mishima.] [The charms have an odd feel to them, but maybe they can be worn? Who knows? An ordinaty door sits at the far end of the room.] [Lukas gets no answer. He thinks he hears breathing, but it's probably just the wind.] [The beast is blown back. It snarls and lunges at Stella with its teetntacles outstretched.]
(edited by Heart)
Lukas: No more rubbish old man! *he enables the Scorch Core having his back and arms be engulfed with flames* Lukas: If you don't want your home to get fire bombed, tell me of what this is!
*Dio walks over to the door on the right, opens it a bit, then peeks through the crack of the opening*
Squigly eagerly begins putting all the charms on, either around her neck or as little bracelets, only for Leviathan to get her attention L: Pardon me milady, but I believe we have found the way forward, would be wise to continue before something else happens. S: Very well, I hope the others are alright L: I believe they can take care of themselves, not to worry milady. S: It is far more important to find the source of this, and end its influence once and for all. Squigly begins walking over to the door on the far side while Leviathan weaves its head from side to side in order to look around the area for anything unusual. L: Well said milady
[The Heir's yellow eyes widen in fear.] "I told you, it's the library of my home! It's different, but... It's what it is!" [Something reaches out from the wood and grabs Dio's head with a snarl.] [Squigly feels a growing dread, but she's not sure why. For Leviathan, it's blocking out that pesky voice, and that dolesh in the wall trembles upon Squigly's arrival. Sharp teeth chomp the air. This is definitely not the wooden door they had seen.]
(edited by Heart)
*he disables the Scorch Core and fire dissipates* Lukas: Then hand me the houses' blueprints so I can find my friends.
"What the? THE WORLD!" *Time freezes* *THE WORLD's hand appears next to Dio's hand right before THE WORLD's hand punches the thing that grabbed him three times* "And just like that, time flows again." *Time resumes*

Enemy! Stella Boosts away from the creature and her cannon changes to a Sniper as she locks on and fires at the .....Thing.... OVERHEAT: 5.2
[The door cracks and the thing retreats. The wood begins to shift once more, though.] --- [The Heir shakes his head.] "I don't have them..." [The wind grows to a howl.] --- [The dog yelps and jumps back. It gnashes its teeth and sinks its teethcles into her skin.]
(edited by Heart)
Squigly stops in front of where the door used to be, while Leviathan looks at the area around it S: Did you feel that Leviathan? L: Its the influence again, nothing to worry about milady. Far more important is what to do about this maw. Let us step back Squigly takes a few steps away from the mouth while Leviathan takes a deep breath.... Then breathes a jet of fire around the maw, to see what happens
*he hears the howls and he holds his rifle* Lukas: Does this place have any levels like a second story or basement or something?!
"Lesson learned, never trust the voice in your head." *Dio walks over to the door on the left, but instead of opening it, THE WORLD just breaks it open*
Tch! Stella changes her Cannon into a Giant Spiked blade and swings it at the attached monster OVERHEAT: 8.2
"B-bo-" [The Heir is cut off as something knocks him over. It's just a stack of books that fell over. There's more tumbling down from the shelves.] --- [The fleshy barrier screeches and turns to ash, leaving only a little residue behind. The woolsh residue shakes a little... No, it's flesh residue. The charms pulse a little to confirm this.] --- [The door flies out, and Dio is greeted with the sight of stairs and the door to the outside.] --- [The dog's tentacles are cut off, and it screeches, bounding off farther down the hall and ramming into a window in an attempt to get out.] ooc: food time, shall return soon
(edited by Heart)
Lukas: Ion, give me a proximity scan of this funhouse of a building. Ion: Acknowledged pilot. Beginning proximity scan of the are. Lukas: I have a bad feeling of this...
Enemy Hostile Retreating! Pursuing on foot! Activating her booster for a speed boost, Stella gives chase, Her Cannon changing into a large energy gun and firing 6 Homing shots as she runs OVERHEAT: 11.7
Squigly looks at the charms for a moment after feeling them, but decides not to mention it S: Shall we move on? Past the..... L: Best not to dwell on it milady, Gehenna is a realm of horrors, this creature's home is probably similar. S: A... Alright then, I hope we come upon the beast soon L: No way to tell milady, all we can do is hope The pair move forward with their usual caution, Leviathan acting as a second pair of eyes for any potential danger
*Dio stares down the door* "I don't know if I should trust this door or not. But whatever." *THE WORLD kicks down the door to the outside*
[No more hiding. A green-tipped tail slams into Lukas, sending him flying back. In the fallen books' place is a beast, with a man-like upper body and the lower body of a scorpion. Its hands- or rather, two mouths- gnash their teeth.] --- [Stella's shots break the window and blast the creature out of it, sending it howling to the ground. Outside, the area is as bleak and normal as usual.] --- [The hall the two travel down is revealed by the charms to be one with multiple flesh-like spots. These patches increase in frequency and size as they move to the right.] --- [As soon as the invisible foot connects, it's tugged inwards by... something.]
Lukas: AUGH!! You messed with the wrong pilot!! *he activates his Scorch Core and throws three fast and fiery slugger punches at the scorpion abomination*
The pair continue moving on, with Leviathan occasionally torching a pulsing spot or two L: poor things.... Probably victims S: Better than walking around again L: but walk we must, to keep this sort of thing from happening again.
................. Visual Corruption Detected..... Do not trust vision..... Stella listens for sounds of the others, Activating Regenerate, and running in the direction of any voice she recognizes, If she doesn't hear anyone, she follows the windowed wall OVERHEAT: 17.7
"What the? THE WORLD's leg is being pulled in!" *THE WORLD disappears through thin air just as it gets tugged inwards* "I knew I never should have trusted that door."
[The scorpion creature growls and is forced to step back from the flaming blows. It lashes out, but only succeeds in creating a hole in the floor. That one blow had done a number on Lukas in the initial attack... It didn't seem wise to stay, but maybe he could beat it. Definitely. No reason not to try.] --- [The true nature of this is disturbing, and only gets worse as they venture forth and feel the stares of eyes in the flesh, but they're making good progress... at the loss of some mental health.] --- [Stella hears the crackle of flames and a crash from below her.] --- [Good thing only the Stand touched it...]
The pair keep moving onward... IN an almost awkward silence. Seems like the writer has run out of things to talk about
*he pulls out combat knife* Lukas: Time for the rodeo! *he begins to wall runs of the interior and jumps on the back of the beast and starts ramming the knife into the beast's neck*
Stella runs down the stairway near her OVERHEAT: 12.2
(edited by Stella_Grey)
"What if I..." *Dio throws a knife at the door*
[The area becomes less of a hallway and more of a fleshy tunnel. Strands of silk now accompany the flesh, and while the charms are humming with the stress of keeping the being's influence at bay, this sight is still worrying... There's branching paths now- three of them- as well as some faint skittering.] [The monster screeches, whirling around so the knife only strikes its back. Its jaw-hands snap around the pilot's waist and slam him into the ground... and straight through the floor. Onto an unsuspecting Squigly, actually. He's lucky he wasn't cut in two, although he's still incredibly wounded.] --- [Stella hears another loud crash as she reaches the bottom. She nearly runs into Dio in her hurry.] [The knife sticks into the door for a moment. The door seems to hiss, then the knife is sucked in.]
(edited by Heart)
Lukas: AUGH!! FUCK!! Ion: Vitals are at red. Administering Adrenaline STIM for rapid repair of cellular and muscular damage. Squigly please protect the pilot until he is back into the field.
(edited by FM_Pilot)
Ally Confirmed.... Searching for other allies. She looks at Dio Vision is misleading, do not trust your eyes. Stella looks for another direction to head in OVERHEAT: 7.7
*Dio turns to Stella* "Finally, another one of my allies are here. Where were you anyway?"
[Something in the area shifts.] [Perhaps the being is satisfied with its prey. Or perhaps it's happy with the fear and uncertainty it's created.] [Stella and Dio hear a click, and the door opens.] --- [After taking a moment to heal, the Pilot feels he can move with Squigly's help. Good timing, too, as the skittering is getting louder.]
Stella Aims her canon at the door, Preparing to fire if it isn't an ally OVERHEAT: 2.7
*he gets up and rapidly plots* Lukas: Ion... got those motion sensitive*cough*explosives? Ion: Affirmative. Satchel charge is set. Ready for deployment. *he plants the explosives to the many possible routes the human scorpion chimera would arrive and plants a energy barrier* Lukas: Squigly stand behind the shield because it's about get loud!
[Nobody is behind the door.] [Go ahead, little friends. I'm feeling merciful today.] [The scorpion approaching the two in the level below tilts its head at the voice, then scurries away.] [The house is silent.]
*the still healing pilot also hears the voice and wonders* Lukas: Who in the hell is that...
............................ Stella fires a charge shot into the door, just as a precaution, before walking thorught OVERHEAT: 4.7
"It's too damn quiet." *Dio pulls out ten knives from somewhere in his pocket*
*he climbs out of the hole where the beast threw him through and get back on his feet* Lukas: I need the Softball launcher next time...
