The Crucible - Winner Take All

Jin Sunrise

Location: the Park - Quenched Forest Cinders
Talking with: Sister Sophia @DracoLunaris

Jin kinda just shrugged off the fact that both of them ignored him and he sat down to look at the sky. Weird as fuck. They talked some more about Clotho then Oren signed out after making some sort of pun. A pun which his opponent didn't seem to like judging by the loud crack he heard coming from her side of things. "I don't think I caught your name. I'm in, shit was I supposed to give my real name or the one they gave me at the start of this thing? Sunspot, let's say my name is Sunspot I guess."

”Sit tight. I’m coming to you. I have some business to attend to first though, so it’ll be about an hour or so.”

Jin shrugged and yawned a bit. One hour to do prep work on the battlefield. He had no problems with that whatsoever. To start with he gathered various sticks and dry crackly stuff and layed it all over, that way she couldn't sneak up on him without making noise. Next thing he did was make sure his gun was fully loaded, 6 shots. As he prepared his battle ground her voice came through again, sounding exceptionally awkward.

”So... Have you accepted the God Emperor of Mankind as your lord and savior?”

Jin didn't really know how to respond to that so he stopped for a few seconds to think over his answer. "Well I kill people for money. And fun. I think whatever religion exists I'm going to hell. So unless your religion is cool with pointless murder than no."

The War of the Three

Henrietta(?) Pearl Avaritia The 2nd

@The 42nd Gecko@KoL@Lmpkio@Ryonara

Damn, Mephilia just got ducked up by Shizuka. Henrietta was glad she didn't just rush into battle, who knows what could've happened. Nonetheless, Mephilia got up and pushed on her boob, doing something to prolong the fight. Then Eos raised her hand and Henrietta knew shit was about to get ducked as she shifted into a defensive stance. Blades began to appear from all around them, kinda lime those spikes that had appeared all over the ground in Hohenheim's castle. Probably the same tech.

Henrietta could also feel a tinge of holy magic around the blades, definitely very bad. She had no idea if she could deflect every single blade at once, hopefully Mephilia could pick up the slack. Henrietta set her back to Mephilia and smiled. "So Hell Knight, think you can live up to your title?" She was gonna have to unless she wanted to become a shishkabob. Henrietta vaguely noted Shizuka running away, but that coward was the least of their problems currently.

Then a giant ice spike erupted from the ceiling and Artoria came along with it. She landed right beside them and created some sort of super shield, but it wouldn't be enough to hold back a faction leader. Henrietta's eyes glowed as a silver sheen covered the Laguna shield, boosting it's defense tenfold to stop the blades of holy might. Artoria grabbed them and activated her defenses to shield them, with her boobs right on top of Henrietta's head. While this kinda pissed her off, she hated being reminded of height, she would decapitate her later.

@floodtalon Artoria is actually shorter than Mephila. Still taller than Henry because he is exceptionally smol. Artoria'd be shapeshiting her arms to be larger to cover more ground, but it's basically going to go Henrietta -> Artoria boob | Artoria -> Mephila boob | Mephila -> Why me?

@The 42nd Gecko

Alright, I had just read Artoria's CS and it said she was 277 cm tall. Which is like, 9 feet tall.

The War of the Three

@Lmpkio@floodtalon So, I wrote up this post, but then realized you may not want to be auto-hugged, or may have your own plans for defense. Any conflicts here, or we good?

Miyu, Traitor Angel Honorless Blade

Miyu has left the battlefield!

Artoria, Master of the Maniacal Menagerie

The bunny ears warned Artoria of impending danger, meaning that her entire trip down, she could charge up defensive power. While Eos redirected her ice spike, created an anti-teleport field, sped up her own forces so fast they could not be followed even by someone with Ira's speed, and then creating an attack, all Artoria had to do was charge up her defense.

As the swords tried to collapse on Henry, Artoria, and Mephila, they'd find all of themselves stopped and destroyed by a Shield of Unholy Misery boosted Laguna AT field. The swords which previously would have been advantaged by their holy enhancement were now disadvantaged, and matched against the mighty shield of a Laguna. One that Artoria had charged with at least four times as much focus as Eos had done for hers. In general, you could render an attack unblockable, or undodgeable, but not both, without such a power advantage that one had to wonder why there was still a battle at all. And while Eos' powers allowed her to largely ignore the Machina > Angel > Demon > Machina triangle, so did Artoria's, mixing energies and abilities of all types.

But perhaps Eos' power was enough to break through nonetheless? Despite type advantage, despite focus advantage, despite having longer to charge up, perhaps Eos was simply too strong for her. But Artoria would also still not give up! Not for unity. Not to prove the demons power or darkness' not being light-able or stuff like that. Not for lost memories certainly. But not even to turn people into cute monster girls, or because Lucille was scary (she was). It was because from that ceiling, when Ruxen had pointed out Taura to her, Artoria had seen Hohenheim. Hohenheim! Hohenheim.. This was her chance to impress Hohenheim, to finally get her eyes upon her! If she could defeat EOS of all people, surely Hohenheim would acknowledge her feelings? Or at least, talk dismissively at her again?

In the scenario where Eos was too strong for her barrier, Artoria would pull Mephila and Henry close for a rather boob-a-rific hug between the three of them and their different heights, shielding them with her own body, activating her strongest physical and holy defensive abilities.

@The 42nd Gecko

When you post this Henry will be contributing by erecting a silver barrier around them to add to defense. Though he will not know how to feel about being hugged by someone so much bigger than he is. Correct me if I'm wrong but Artoria is 9 feet tall? That's like, double the height of Henry almost.

The War of the Three

@Ryonara

Hey uh, just a heads up but Henrietta isn't actually attacking yet. She's kinda just standing off to the side and waiting to see how the Eos clones did before she attacks. Just sayin.

And wow guys, holy shit did I miss a lot. I'm flattered you guys think of Henry as being the strongest character despite the fact he has won a grand total of one battle lol.

Heartless- The Jack's Headquarters

Tap. Tap. Tap. He tapped his fingers on the counter as he awaited his new team. Tap. Tap. Tap. Sip. He had taken off his helmet for a second as he had a drink of root beer, his soft drink of choice. He was never one for alcohol, dulled the mind and senses for momentary pleasure. If he was gonna make stupid decisions he would make those decisions uninhibited. He glanced over at his boss, interesting man to say the least. A practically unspoken signal passed between the two if them. Time to meet his new co-workers. He put on his helmet and touched a certain area on the back of the helmet. After sliding down his visor the areas where his eyes were supposed to be began to glow yellow, while leaving his own vision unobstructed. Neat piece of work, definitely worth the money he paid for it.

The door opened and an interesting set of people walked in. You had a young girl, little taller than him annoyingly, a taller gentleman dressed in full military clothing, Ryan tensed up on instinct even though he knew that was a member of the team, a fancy boy dressed in fancy clothes, Ryan immediately felt a little disgusted by the extravagance of it, and to top it all off a guy in a poncho and sombrero. There was an actual cowboy on the team, he honestly thought the Broker was joking. There was also a dude who was talking a lot, Ryan smiled at that. Pretty boy was annoyed which automatically put Ryan in a good mood.

The girl, Sophia, waved to him slightly and he smiled and waved back. Not that she could see the smile behind the helmet, covering his whole face and stuff. Pretty boy, Chatterbox, straight up ignored him which was a little irritating. The Broker mentioned how Lovecraft was arrested, terrible stuff. Thankfully that opened up a slot for Ryan quite neatly. The Broker introduced Ryan as am understudy which was a strange term to use but he would roll with it nonetheless.

Headhunter was mumbling something under his breath, but Ryan couldn't quite hear it over the sound of Gamble just talking and talking and talking. It was actually starting to get on his nerves a bit. "Alright buddy, if you don't shut up in the next ten seconds I'm gonna punch you really hard." He said as he got out of his chair and cracked his knuckles. Just after he said this Headhunter decided to speak up and ask what his cape name was. "Ah, my bad guys. Totally forgot to introduce myself, so rude of me. The name is Heartless, it's a reference to a game on the other Earth. And I am a living breathing shadow."

The War of the Three

Henrietta(?) Pearl Avaritia The 2nd

@Lucius Cypher@KoL@Lmpkio

Eve ran away. Typical angel, perfectly willing to hang around when they're confident in themselves but the moment things start to look a little bad for them they cut their losses and run. Oh well, at least Henrietta got to see her best friend again. "Leviathan! I missed you so much." She said with glee as the chains began to cracked with black demonic energy in an attempt to corrupt the Leviathan. Unfortunately it was not to be as the Leviathan disappeared. Disappointing.

Henrietta looked to the sky and saw a explosion in the sky, followed immediately afterwards by a rain of golden meteors. Nope. "Well, good luck with that Francisca. I'm out." Henrietta cut open a hole in the roof and jumped into the factory, not a moment too soon as the entire factory was sealed off by some angelic magic. She turned around and saw a massive wave of plasma heading straight for her, she retaliated by opening a gate of Tartarus quickly and sucking in any plasma that threatened to incinerate her. Crisis averted.

She wandered down the halls to see Shizuka and Mephila(?) fighting, or they were until 2 Eos shackled Mephilia with some silver chains. Doesn't look like they noticed her yet. Henrietta quietly opened a Gate and shot a massive beam of star energy directly at the one of the Eos. After she was done firing she drew the Cheater's Blade and prepared to cut down Shizuka and the clones who had more than likely survived. "Sup."

The War of the Three

You don't know what you've done Eve. You've reunited Henrietta with her best friend from the seas. She now has no choice but to try and capture the beast.

I am currently waiting for a few others with the Jacks to post before I do my introduction that way I have a bit more to work with my first post.

The War of the Three

Henrietta(?) Pearl Avaritia The 2nd

@Banana@Lucius Cypher

Henrietta smiled at the final words from the Harpy. She was gonna enjoy breaking her into a shell of her former self. A switch clicked on in her mind as the Gates rebooted so to speak, but it wasn't time to show off her hand so soon. She began firing at Eve wildly in an attempt to hit her, not that she expected hit her. No way she was gonna hit something that fast, she would have to wait for a counterattack of sorts.

"Hey cutie, missing your little birdie?"

Or that, that would definitely work. Henrietta tossed aside her SMGs and focused her eyes on the blur that was Eve, Silver Chains emerging from her back and rushing towards her from a different direction than Francisca's chains. One of them was bound to hit her considering both the crazy storm and just how many fucking chains there were. And if one of Henrietta's struck home it would stick, as the end of the chains were spiked and made to stick into an opponent and not let go.
