[b]2spooky & Shio[/b] Shio released her grip on the door, letting it slide closed as she joined in with Violet and Cat in there defense of the hospital. Her hands weaved as she chanted, flinging Kuji-kiri in time with the words, barraging the various undead creatures moving towards them as she met their approach with her own. Even with Violet, Cat, and herself, it would be difficult to hold off the horde that was coming. Cat ignored Kasumi's nonsense, making mental note to arrest her later for assaulting an officer of the law. However, it wouldn't be just them for long. From the side of the building, the alley between the hospital and a nearby complex, skipped a little girl in a bright blue dress. Flaming red hair, she looked a frightening mix of gleeful and angry. Had it not been for the expression, most would have been surprised at her arrival, given how characteristically out of place her presence would have been. However, this was no ordinary little girl, but the Toran Arena Master Anastasia Radtfield. Above her flew an impressive Jigoko, accompanied in air with an Atrinox, obviously hers as well. The two were positioned to take out the raised flying Natrelmon before they could reach the windows - a job they were doing well. On the ground, a strange catlike creature was next to her. Shio, who only briefly was able to notice it as her foot collided with an undead Chu, kicking it backwards a few feet before Violet's fist met it. Anastasia wasted no time skipping into the fray with older two girls, beginning an impressive display of Pyromantic prowess as a massive number of brilliant petals flew from her hands and into the approaching wave before igniting in a searing hot flame. Anastasia wasted no time throwing more fire into the oncoming wave to keep it back. "Where is my Tibearius?" she asked in tone that matched her rather demented expression, as she fumbled for her relic. After a moment of searching, interrupted intermittently by a Fireball at an approaching undead, she shouted, "THERE HE IS!" With even more fire, she summoned forth her Tibearius right into the fray of the nearest wave. The bear Natrelmon, a good bit bulkier than the undead she had placed him in quickly threw them back, his claws cutting through them like a hot knife through butter. Shio couldn't help but be impressed with the strength of Anastasia's team of Natrelmon. But even with all of them together, the horde still continued to press closer and closer to the hospital. Shio was unsure of how long they would be able to hold of the horde. Cat had limited ammo and Violet and herself had only so much endurance. Anastasia couldn't really engage them upclose and even with both the Arena Master's and her own Natrelmon trying to hold back the waves they'd eventually be overwhelmed. Her Hitsuji and Kujaku had already expended over half of their Psychic Shields deflecting incoming attacks. --- +@ Kito and Amelia + As Kito and Amelia explored, they would shortly be met by none other than Kito's Elwis. It was shrouded by a slightly different energy than the oncoming horde they had seen before. However, that was not a good sign, as the energy that shrouded the Elwis was clearly far stronger than whatever was controlling the approaching undead. Elwis began to speak, but in a strange echoing voice, speech being an inability for this line of Natrelmon, "Free me." In a whispering echo, the Elwis continued, pleading, "I have been trapped for thousands of years. Follow me and I shall take you to the body I have been searching for, then you can help set me free." The Elwis would float in front of them until they answered before guiding them to the room they were seeking. "All I want is freedom..." --- +@ Kasumi and Caelyn + Kasumi and Caelyn would also be approached as they explored. It was the long expired form of a Yata-Garasu, the bird Natrelmon approaching them with great care. It was cautious having witnessed Kasumi's display on the horde, but like Kito's Elwis, it too was possessed with an energy that transcended the others. It too would surprisingly speak, "You two can set me free. Help me and I shall reward you. For thousands of years I have been trapped, waiting to be set free. I shall ensure your safety and safety of anyone you wish if you assist in this matter. Your reward shall also be most generous." It was an entirely different appeal than the one to Kito and Amelia. The Yata-Garasu, like the Elwis, would await the answer from them. For a moment, they would have a respite, as the horde would not approach them, even though from the sounds around the two that there were far more undead in the Hospital already than likely Cat had initially suspected, making it far more dangerous than anyone likely knew with the shroud that the dark mist that continued to fill every corridor as if it too were searching. --- +@ Atami and Aera+ For Atami and Aera, there would be a sudden spark of light in front of them. However, it was a light without warmth, colder than any light mankind had ever produced and colder than the light of the moon on the tundras of Relin. The creature that created it revealed itself, a large Reishund that dominated the corridor with an intimidating presence. Like a few of the other creatures that had revealed themselves in the hospital to the other trainers, it took came to speak to them. "Let me end this madness. Set me free and I shall end all of it, please, I beg of you," the Reishund pleaded, a voice impossible for the creature, in a genuine ton of desperation, "I do not wish to harm you, but I need your help. You can set me free. We can end this all. I know where the body is, but I cannot retrieve what I need alone." Reishund stood in front of them, waiting for them to make their choice. It would lead them to the location of the body it was searching for. What role the trainers might play was uncertain, but time was of the essence. Even though for now the horde stayed away from the Reishund, the scraping of claws on doors, windows, and in the ceiling above them were impossible to ignore.
