God's Shattering [Concluded]

Somehow, Alex was not surprised to find that almost immediately upon entering the temple they had come to explore, some sort of trap activated that sealed them inside behind a magical barrier. Before he even really had a chance to react he was drenched in some sort of slimy blue liquid, which he had the sinking feeling would probably stain his clothes particularly bad.

"Why am I not surprised," he grumbled as he hurried after the Twins to get out of the weird trap. How was that even supposed to work in the first place? What about the people who presumably had to use this temple when it was still being used? Why leave the door open if yo were going to have the trap still be active?

Somehow, he had the feeling that he wouldn't be getting any answers.

He sighed then as he moved along. "Note to self, get a better wardrobe for adventuring." He really was going to need to do some shopping after this. Yet they were left with more problems, and he didn't question the twins when they were told to basically run and not look back. His tome didn't have the sort of firepower to handle a large crowd or whatever other trap had been concocted in this place.

So he ran along, at least until they arrived at some sort of split in the path that could take them one of three ways. "well, unless someone happens to know what deity they worshiped in this temple, I would say Sun," he said aloud, figuring they had a good second or so to debate before they had to move again. Without any clues, it would basically be a guessing game, and he liked to think he was good at guessing.

The War of the Three

Sure, I'd be up for this. Seems like it could be fun.

The Truth Behind the Project

While Mitsuki was dimly aware about what Yukino was doing at the moment, she was a tad more preoccupied with her own fight since it did serve to be a greater draw on her attention. Still, what she was enough to leave her reassured her her companion could handle herself, and might not be the best person to go against directly in a fight. Fortunately the Hero Brigade and the Order had never had a serious battle, and whether she could do that to another human was a far different story.

For the moment though her fight went on unabated. She leapt and dived, quick on her heels as she moved forward and the Primordial fell back, pelting her with swords which she deflected or simply avoided. their blades met and separated, sending sparks across the field of battle as the sound of their collision echoed in the void that only they could hear.

"Come on, is that all you have," she spat at the Primordial, hurling her own daggers at the black being as it let out a guttural yet mocking laugh and sprang away. New ones immediately formed in her hands to be thrown or used as she followed, tracking her target. It was all she could do to keep civilians from being drawn into the mix and making this situation even worse than it was already, but she did her best.

Then Yukino acted, calling out to her as her surprise unfolded. Mitsuki's eyes widened before she nodded in determination, acting in accordance with the plan. Daggers flew through the air, rapidly followed by her in turn to meet the Primordial when it dodged the projectiles. A few brief clashes as they fought for the initiative before she struck, using her powers to cause the Primordial to misjudge a block so she could land a hit. That elicited a cry of pain and anger from the caped being in protest, which she ignored as she broke away with a kick that would send it stumbling towards Yukino's surprise.

"Game over," she said with a certain smile.

Alistair lifted an eyebrow as Siena and Linea reemerged from the bushes, having lost their previous animal traits at some point to now look completely human. It was an odd development, and one that he had to wonder how they had managed. it seemed that their magic was fairly impressive after all. Or it could just be Imperium tech. Either way, he kept his opinions to himself.

For his part, Alex coughed in a manner to remind the both of them that he was right here, and they didn't exactly need to talk like he wasn't standing there. This was already reaching a point of awkward innuendo, and it wasn't quite the time for that sort of thing.

"Alright," he agreed with a nod as they decided to move on to the temple itself. Based on what had just happened to them, it would be best that they concluded their business as quickly as possible. Who knew when something else powerful or otherwise dangerous would show up to attack them?

With that said he readied his tome and followed after the twins, entering the temple itself. Time to see what treasures, and dangers, waited for them in the unexplored depths. It was sure to be interesting.

The Truth Behind the Project

Looking back at the sudden outcry, Mitsuki was surprised to find that someone had come with her after all, even if she arrived a bit late. If she didn't miss her guess, it was even someone from the Hero Brigade. Well then, it looked like her efforts to try and spark friendship and cooperation between the groups had met with some fruit after all. Just as she had hoped.

There were other things to focus on though as she was suddenly struck, brow furrowing as she practically doubled over with a grunt of pain. "Wha-What is this," she panted in confusion. This was just a sense of foreboding, this was like being stabbed, or shot. Something was going to happen, and she didn't know what it was.

"We have to finish this up quick," she spat to herself as she recovered. There was no other choice.

She didn't have the chance to say anything more though as the Primrodial was on her, grinning as it slashed with dual blades. Steel clashed and sent sparks ringing through the air in the initial confrontation, the two scouting each other out as they battled. After a few moments they broke apart, skidding back and sizing each other up as they prepared for the next round. Daggers twirled in an idle grip as Mitsuki made sure her companion was doing alright.

Yet she did not anticipate the blades singing in, slamming where she had been standing but a moment prior. And it seemed the Primordial had more where those came from, emitting a silent laugh as she hurled blade after blade at the Mahou Shoujo.

This situation was not one that could be maintained for a long time, not if Mitsuki actually wanted to win. She had to go for it and so she did, springing forward to close the distance rather than allow herself to be pelted from far away. At the same time she threw out an illusion, an afterimage to throw the Primordial off. Her blades slashed even as the Primordial ducked back, still grinning even as it dodged.

The two moved quickly, darting about the intersection as they met in brief clashes before breaking apart, spinning and striking blow after blow. This would definitely be a fight to watch, as the two went at it with a vengeance.

The Truth Behind the Project

Glancing around, Mitsuki sighed as she realized that she was the only one headed downtown. How typical. Here she was, wanting the chance to show off, to breach the barriers that had been erected by everyone and to make some friends, and nobody had bothered to come with her. Not that it was a problem, since she could handle this attack by herself, but it didn't exactly make things easy on her. How was she supposed to work like this?

"Why am I not surprised," she grumbled to herself as she ran along, honing in on the attack. "How am I supposed to get anything done like this?" It seemed no one wanted to listen to the Contractor or Yuna. This was going to prove problematic sooner or later.

Sadly, she had the feeling that this was going to be a situation that endured, even as she bounded across rooftops and drew near the location of the fight. Hopefully the Contractor had a plan for that, because as it stood it looked like they were never going to reconcile their differences. And she was really not in the mood for taking direct action. Not yet anyway.

At last she arrived on the scene of the conflict to find things had rapidly descended int an unsavory state. Unsavory as in there had been multiple fenderbenders in this one intersection, with traffic backed up, people angry, everything that the Primordials would feast on. They would need to be stopped, before things got any worse here.

She came to a stop on the rooftop, perched carefully on the ledge as she swept the scene down below. "Now then, where are you," she mused aloud, looking for the Primordials that had caused this entire mess in the first place. They would probably be nearby, feeding off the emotions and growing more powerful. That was why they had to be stopped now, before it was too late.

It didn't take long to see a shadowy figure off to the side, holding twin curved short swords, long hair and a cape of some kind, and to her surprise it was already looking at her. Seemed she hadn't been as subtle in her entrance than she had thought.

"Oh well, this just makes it easier," she said to herself as she manifested twin daggers before springing off the roof, headed directly towards the Primordial. Time to do the hard job of being a Magical Girl.

The situation developed quickly, but Alex did his best to keep you with it. The two sisters managed to make a bridge of ice or something like that, which was very nice if he didn't have to worry about slipping off of the bridge and falling into the water. That would be less than pleasant, what with all the things hanging around in the water.

"Guess we should be going," he noted, ready to head across and move on to the temple itself. He was more than eager to get into this place and see what he could find. There had to be something good there, right?

Or....not. The situation began to rapidly degrade as the things they had found before began to spit acid at the ice bridge, which quickly began collapsing under the stress of the acid, and the rest of that stuff. Naturally the sisters moved across fairly rapidly, but otherwise they would have to go quickly before the thing collapsed.

With a sigh, he joined them in movement. "Alright, looks like it's fun time." With that he took off running, following after the sisters as he activated his tome. A good thing too, as the bridge crumbled. He had to act quick, lashing out with blasts of solid air to create platforms for himself, to get across one gap after another as the thing fell apart, as well as dodging any shots of acid that came his way. He had the feeling that getting hit would be bad.

Huffing, he at last finished the crossing and landed on the ground, at the other side of the riverbank. "Well then, never doing that again," he muttered to himself as he looked around. It was easy to note the two sisters hiding, but he let them be. After all, he had somewhat seen what had happened to them. "So what next," he asked as he waited patiently for them to reemerge.

The Truth Behind the Project

So, uh, glorious GMs. As my char was the only one to go to the downtown crossing apparently, is there anything I should know/be aware of/things you might have planned? Mitsuki is feeling lonely.

No problem, Mitsuki's internal organs will make nice decoration for the city's streets. Modern art, ya know...

@KoL

Organs are overrated when you have your soul inside a rock.
