"Ayano, everyone is here for you, despite your feelings, watch how hard Kami fights. This is your shadow, a part of you that you don't want to see... But it is still you. Whether your hidden feelings are hate for everyone or an unhealthy desire for isolation, know this... It's not the only part of you, so long as you remember that, the rest comes easy", addressed Rui towards Ayano, cleaning his blade and sheathing it again for the next part.

The various spells were hitting the right areas, with Kotori's Zio lighting up the area, giving the party a brief glimpse of the shadow, and that was all they needed. Grazed and slowed by Kami and Sato's spells, the shadow approached to try another killing blow more slowly than before, allowing Akane to intercept and hold it down, with Noboru immediately following up with an uppercut, causing the shadow to start capsizing backwards, chained into a flurry of punches and thrusts on the soft underbelly as a combined effort from Akane and Noboru. As Rui charged, the shadow flipped itself over again, and relit the room akin to that of a disco, before unleashing a blast of multi-coloured energy at the party.

Responding to the attack, Rui refined a Garula right through the middle, letting him slip in-between the waves, with Kami following in single file behind. Now they had a chance to deal a decisive blow. Rui started with the overhead slash as Kami followed with a horizontal swipe, and the two would keep alternating between their strikes and their Persona's attacks, before sending the shadow away in a pillar of wind and lightning with some help from Kotori and Sato.

Before the shadow even hit the ground, wailing in agony as it was defeated, everyone knew the result as the shadow landed, dissipating into a black mist and revealing the shadow's original form below. Now the rest was up to Ayano.

Hmmm... Wait on Akane and Noboru, or just like, let them try and handle the fast QTE on their own...?

So long as you don't leave us hanging again and keep it moving. Maybe we should start with a more exciting opening scene or something. None of us ever came here to hear about each other's life stories after all.

I'm probably going to make a new character.

The followed up barrage of attacks relieved significant pressure from the shadow's fangs, allowing Askr to convert the defense into a slash, before Rui ordered out a Zan'ei. They did some major damage to the shadow, but it didn't look like enough as it rapidly scurried away. Great, now it was going to be difficult to catch again...

"I've finished scanning, watch closely how the lightning moves on the webs, that should give you an idea where it's going to move, the less web there is, the easier it'll be to read it's movements", she informed Rui of this. Although due to limitations, only Kami, Kotori and Sato also got this message. Akane and Noboru were still left in the dark.

"Watch the lightning on the webs. That'll tell us where the shadow will be next", he said... Oh only if it were that easy.

The spider shadow began disappearing from sight completely... In fact... The whole cavern was. The only thing they could see was the ground where which their feet stood, if they were too far away, they wouldn't even be able to see each other... But there was one thing they could see, and it was the lightning moving about the cavern... The cavern was now filled with darkness, the mad cackling of the shadow, and occasionally it would take a pot shot at the party with it's webs again.

"Look out!", Rui heard the warning in time to jump back away from his left, as he spotted two familiar fangs, and blank yellow eyes from the darkness... So not just webs... It might appear to try and make a killing blow... This meant Akane and Noboru were at a big disadvantage here, without navigator support to warn them of attack. They had to pinpoint the shadow's movements fast.

The lightning was moving around the web again, but now that it was dark... It was easier to see the pattern. They had a good chance if they could coordinate an attack in this darkness.

Now waiting for X.

He ain't comin' back huh?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Jack Orpheus | Brewing Storm Mission

Their ranged fighters were at a disadvantage in the low light, but if their melee fighters could create a zone from which they can fire from, they can handily get through this. Their red glowing eyes would give their position away, but they would shift quickly, becoming a red blur in the shadows while tilting inhumanly before they emerged and attacked. Jack had no problems, as he was able to react quickly enough to counter-attack as they flew at him. Though their strength did not seem to be stealth or element of surprise here as he realized... It was numbers, and who knows how many of them there were.

"We need to keep moving, we can't stay here and just fight", he suggested, after kicking another away.

"Someone with strength take point, I'll cover your back. Everyone else watch our flanks and rear", it was a plan. But they had to move fast, otherwise they would be overrun.

Will post within the next 24 hours. I've been working out pricing for new PC parts.

As Rui began rearing back to retreat, the doors behind him burst open, and with two familiar voices, Rui was glad to have support. Not to mention their thunderous entry seemed to stop whatever was blocking their communications with Megumi. He didn't even let her properly say anything, there was only one thing he needed right now.

"Scan it, now",

"R-r-right!", with that, they need only buy a little bit of time before they could figure out how to take the spider down.

As Akane taunted the shadow, Rui looked in disbelief as it actually worked. Though it appears the shadow had more tricks up it's sleeve. It fired a blast of web, but spread in a net at Akane, entrapping her before it would lower down above her and land right on top of her. The two hands where stingers should be were suddenly twin large metal blades as she readied to strike Akane... This didn't look like any regular attack, this looked like it was going to really hurt.

Rui would spring into action and summon his Persona to hold the stingers for just a little bit more. This was their chance, but he couldn't hold it for very long.

"Take it down! Give it all you've got!", he ordered.

Basically.
