The War of the Three

@LokiLeo789

Not so thin, since the ship's main armor is in the way. Considerig everything, it should be star destroyer levels of resistant. The Elicitor has at least one mile from bow to stern and half of that both on beam and full height.

I think you guys are kind of underestimating how strong that thing is supposed to be. If it was just a huge, (slowly) mobile tin can, Victoire would have taken care of it a lot ago.

The Truth Behind the Project

It's really sad we couldn't make it work this time around. Either way, this is a parting.

See ya.

I don't what's happening, since I just got back home from college, but I know there's some confusion regarding Diana's last post so, let me get it straight.

She blasted a hole to the hull of the Elicitor, not through it. If she had just opened a clean escape route, what reason would she have to not escape through it already?

The War of the Three

@KoL I dunno about Diana, anyone who could blow a clean hole right through a fortress seems like they could handle themselves just fine in a direct fight. But that just means Hibiki and Shizuka needs to be crafty if they want to win.

@Ryonara

Against those monsters? That's a no no for Diana in her human form. If she fought someone as Graffdakka, for example she would be screwed. Her breath attack requires a little charge time and she couldn't do it if she was focused on dodging for her life.

@KoL

You know what this means right? I'm going to have a certain trash can "trip" Victoire and ruin her plans.

@TheWindel

You don't even know what her plans are and you are already going to ruin them?

Shakugan no Shana -Fragments of Crimson- [On Hiatus]

I posted. Let me know if I should change anything.

@Demous

It's nice as it's. I'll see if I can reply yet today.

@KoL

Fufu, I may have to plug that hole and deal with the dragon before things get too out of hand :3

@Lonewolf685

Mmm~

The War of the Three

<Snipped quote by KoL>

Would a commander know of a rogue behind enemy? Would Raizel know of Diana?

@LokiLeo789

I'm pretty much sure that yes, since that's a basic tactic.

<Snipped quote by KoL>

When is your post coming? Cuz I was actually gonna throw a bone at her if she stays put!

@Skyswimsky

It just came!

@LokiLeo789
I'd imagine a commander would be aware of the presence of their own faction's rogues, unless KoL thinks otherwise. They'd have planned the attack beforehand, so they would know the troop positions and originally intended movements.

@Lonewolf685

Pretty much that. Since it's the basis of some good planning.

The War of the Three

~Victoire Bordeaux~

"What? How dare they burn my roses like some wretched weed?" Victoire snarled as the Angels came down on them, burning her garden before she could even try to collect her bounty only to be joined by the Machina's indiscriminate bombardment that also killed most of her familiars that weren't already inside the Elicitor. It was humiliating, it infuriating and caused the vampire to want to growl out in rage, which is exactly what Victoire did, creases appearing on her face as she unveiled her fury. "GRRRRRR! You will pay for your insolence, mortal pests!" Victoire's growl of pure anger echoed, silencing even the cannons of the Elicitor, or the thunderous blasts of the Heavenly hosts for a brief moment.

Victoire had been trying to apply little pressure to this battle and remain hidden as she planned every move to counter the Elicitor's advance, well aware that the machine should have at least a trick or two that she didn't knew the exact nature of. But, the Angels ruined it all, a sweet easy victory for the Countess, turned into naught but humiliation and shame as Victoire's plans collapsed. At that instant, every living being on the valley, human, angel and demon alike would feel their heart skipping a beat, literally as the blood stopped flowing for a moment, reacting to Victoire's sudden change of mood.

"I'll end this battle in one fell swoop." Victoire said as she extended her hand to the sky, revealing her hiding spot for the first time as she collected every drop of blood shed on this battle in a gigantic orb above her head. What could the Primordial Vampire/Succubus be planning to do with that much blood?

~Diana~

"Hmm... that was a bad move." Diana commented on the fact that she had just been cornered by a duo humans, one alive and the other... not so much, even if Victoire couldn't be certain of what Shizuka was, other than the fact that she wasn't really evil. "You guys are seriously going to point your guns at an unarmed girl? A human such as you, even? That's sick." Diana kind of growled, when faced with such a cold blooded behavior. Even if death here on the Nexus is cheap, it doesn't mean that they have the right to kill for fun, especially someone such as Bastion, who seemed perfectly ignorant of the nature of this War.

To her luck, Diana's ears just noticed the sound of the oncoming horde of vampiric bats, that would likely reduce the two maids to dry husks (or one of them, at least), while actually doing the same to her and Bastion, if they didn't find a way out of here, fast.

"I don't know about you two, Nuts and Screw but, if someone stole a precious thing from me, I would go looking for a ring. Aren't you supposed to give it only to the one you love the most?" Diana replied with an innuendo heavy reply, certain that the humans would get what she meant as precious thing, the only thing every woman has and can only be given once. All of this was just a distraction tactic, to say the truth, to gain time until the bats arrived and, once they did Diana took a deep breath, letting her lungs be filled with air that was soon converted in over charged plasma, the very air around Diana crackled with power as she growled in a voice that wasn't human, for sure. "Both of you, to the ground, now!"

"Plasma Roar!"

What followed was a deluge of energy, a beam of concentrated plasma that (while being but a mere flashlight, compared to the termonuclear nightmare that was her true form's breath attack) torched everything in front of Diana, opening a straight path to the Elicitor's hull, while killing all the bats that could have killed the human girls as well as them. Diana hoped that they had heard her and dropped out of the beam's path (and that it didn't killed any other live humans) but, didn't stayed behind to check. "We can escape through there. Hold to me, Bastion-chan!" Diana said reassuringly as she tightened her hold on Bastion, while doing her best to not touch the other girl in any strange places, before she made a run for it.

The outside of the Elicitor was still a good way away, but if nothing got in their way they could make it. At least Diana thought in her earnest naivete as she ran away, not even caring to watch for any counter attacks that might come from behind.

The War of the Three

@KoL Is the place/ground around where Victoire is chilling(Spiked mountains and stuff, right?) also covered in her roses or just around the Elicitor/inside the Valley?

@Skyswimsky

Just on the valley. She was trying to play it incognito. Emphasis on was, because she's gonna go pretty nuts on my next post because the enemy is mocking her.

The War of the Three

Ok, people, I have something to say about roguish/ninja characters. At the moment it concerns mostly @Ryonara Hibiki/Shizuka (who seem to match the role, based on their... dirty trickery based skills) and Diana, though. Given their usual disadvantage in conflicts and the fact that they are supposed to be infiltrators primarily, roguish characters can begin any battle inside their enemies' defense point or other key structure. How they got there can be left as detailed or as vague as you want, though. But, you can only infiltrate one place per battle, if you have to change locales, you have to do it "on screen". Not that it should be any problem for a real rogue, of course.

This makes so that rogues have an invaluable role not only on spying as well as countering other rogues. The demons should do well to get one ninja to their side, or they might be at a disadvantage in future battles.
