Rui and Akane charged in, weaving between the shadow's blood red magical blades flying at them, appearing in front of it before being fired off. Rui called for Askr to mount a counter-attack, striking it with a Mighty Swing, before immediately darting off to the side. Akane's standard charge alternated, while Katsuro struck the shadow with a hit of Ragnarok, causing it to stagger a bit.

"I've completed the scan. It's arms control it's attacks, the bone arms are physical, while the regular arms are magical, watch for how they move", Rui gave an affirmative. As he did so the shadow taunted the party before it took to the air. The shadow began to cast magic from above, raining fire and light upon the party from above. The concept of formation was now useless as the back line was suddenly just as vulnerable as everyone in the front.

"Switch to ranged, avoid it's attacks", while they can't reach it with melee, they can't dodge this barrage of magic forever... He prepared to counter attack with Garula soon as he got an opening.

The solid lineup of buffs made the back line completely impenetrable, with Tetrakarn to persist for a small while until it was triggered, however unfortunately Sato was not quite protected from it. On the other hand, the Oni was pretty preoccupied with everyone in front already, immediately lashing at them with an Atom Smasher, forcing Jun and Kami to go into defensive to brace for the attack. Even with resistances, the force of the blow still meant they were forced to back away. The Oni didn't waste it's opportunity to charge the two bracing, although Kami managed to speed out of the way, Jun braced the attack, however upon closer inspection, thanks to Marakukaja, she was easily able to brush it off.

Although Jun wasn't the only one to brush it off. Kami and Jun's attacks didn't even put a scratch on Oni. It seemed resilient to physical attacks...

"Switch to magic", he commanded, before summoning Zeus to dole out some lightning.

As the five diver soldiers went down in an instant, falling back and chests cut open, and whatever harnesses or gear they were wearing were also slashed. Some gun bits split apart mid-fall rendering some of the weapons useless too. Itou quickly looked around him while he flourished his blade, letting the blood fly off of it. The stairwell likely had an adept down there as the soldiers attempted to bypass it, a few were completely stopped, and seemed a little preoccupied, unable to attack for a short while. As his free hand went for his hand gun he heard the bellow of a harpoon gun. He turned just in time to spot the shot, taking a quick backstep to the side, ensuring it flies right past him. It didn't seem to be aimed at him at all, evident by the injured Adept. Yes, this adept seemed to have come out of nowhere, but it was no concern of his as long as they weren't his enemy.

He turned back to the remaining disabled soldiers after that little scrape, pulled his hand gun out, and shot all three of them down. As they were unable to quite fight back, he took his time with each shot, aiming for their head, or vitals in their upper chest. As soon as that was done with he immediately sped along further down deck, hunting for the leader.

As soon as he landed on the bow he could quickly survey the situation. Based on some of the crazy stuff going on, he can tell there were some Adepts on board, whether they were his enemy, or in combat with these soldiers was beyond him, but the ones he can see seemed to be fighting the soldiers. They didn't seem to come geared for Adepts specifically either, meaning they didn't expect adepts. There also seemed to be a hostage situation going on too as some soldiers who were herding the civvies on deck turned to him, and pulled out or picked up their harpoon guns.

As soon as they fired, Itou quickly sprinted at them, zig zagging in seemingly crazy ways, returning fire with a Bladewind, before abandoning the zig-zag pattern and speeding straight at them as soon as the harpoons had been expended, and going for a wide swing. They didn't have shields or anti-Adept equipment on them, meaning this was going to be easy as soon as he got to them, slicing through not just the soldiers themselves, but their guns too as they tried to raise and fire, rendering them useless.

Bleugh. I'll just deal with it. It seems you're a bit too busy and not even on discord either, so waiting for you to reply is going to take eons.

@tobiax I'd post but I'm not sure where Itou is in that update, in fact I don't think he's in there. Could you either call everyone's characters by name or label each paragraph in these updates?

EDIT: Okay so, I actually entered in going after the guys shooting at Nikki's character, the whole last two paragraphs of my post are that.

But suddenly your update puts me at simply entering and then being shot at?

Long ago in a distant land, I, Graku, the shape-shifting Master of Stoicness, unleashed an unspeakable evil! But a foolish Samurai warrior wielding a magic ahoge stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a fur coat in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Graku!

@NarayanK

But then the RP does have a character actually named Jack too...

"Huh? Boyfriend? Cian you have a boyfriend?", he asked. With Gratia gone his attention was now back to Cian and co. He was about to head off to the Armory to look into Luke, maybe, but he'll stick around just a little longer. It seemed like teasing to him, given the kind of girl Cian is, it's not likely she does have one, but he was enjoying this a little.

"Hmmm... That might be important. If you do I'd need to make sure it doesn't affect you in a mission", he surmised. No matter what he would say though, Cian was still being put on the spot by Tristan.

@tobiax So uh, are we waiting for anyone?

"Wait!", as soon as he yelled the warning, Samuru was thrown back as a dark energy burst and rose from his shadowy self.

"I am the shadow, the true self", it spoke, the reverbating distortion in it's voice as it soon faded as the black energies enveloped it. Soon emerging from it, large wings and a devilish appearance, all while adorning parts of a priest's attire. Rui led his party to position themselves between Samuru and his shadow.

"We'll take care of this, just stay calm and stay put", he said, before turning back to the front.

"It looks mobile...", maybe even some magic. He looked around at his team, "Let's start with slowing it down then. Katsuro get on that. Akane and Kotori, standard. Megumi, run a scan on it", in short, what they always did, attack, and heal, respectively. Meanwhile Rui called forth Askr, pretty soon the whole party was enshrouded briefly by a green aura, signifying his use of Masukukaja.

As the party walked towards the village while chatting, Kami looked to the air upon hearing the cry of a hawk. Eventually Zeke would start circling the village and they soon found out why. As they reached what would be the village square they witnessed what looked like a pillar of mirror shards. As Kami stepped closer to it he could see glimpses of Warakuma, however there was a lot of farmland in all these glimpses, he only recognized it as Warakuma due to some old yet familiar locations.

"What is this...?", he pondered.

Ayano as the team's navigator is detecting a great source of power from it. However as soon as Kami took even a single step, away or towards it, it began to pulse, the floating and slowly hovering mirror shards began to speed up, swirling and spiraling until it began to form something, like a puzzle, except for a statue. As everyone backed away and positioned themselves, they beheld what appears to be the spitting image of an Oni, not some strange being like a shadow, this was... Strange, but it bellowed before raising it's spear, ready to attack.

"Alright... Shizuka, get the buffs, Sato hit it with magic, me and Jun will keep it busy", he ordered, summoning Zeus and starting the line of buffs with Marakukaja, before getting in there himself.

"Codename Gensai do you read?", the sound of a thrumming engine with a cutting stream of water on either sides. Seated upon the jet ski was a man cloaked in black with shimmering reds. Tucked on his waist was an uncanny katana. Currently he was wearing a helmet, as safety requires while riding one of these.

"I read you. This better be a good one", the reason he was on this vehicle in the first place was because the target, in other words the boat, suddenly accelerated, so now he was playing catch-up.

"I'm sorry but you were the only one in the area. We intercepted a signal on this attack, if there's something these guys want, we want it too"

"Hmph. Figures. Not even they know why I should be here. Over and out, ready to board", and with that the communication line was cut off.

@tobiax@Nikki Moonlight

Abandoning the jetski to either drift out to sea or some beach patrols to pick up the temporarily stolen vehicle, Itou landed at the front of the ship on the deck. He didn't waste any time to immediately dash down and towards the soldiers in diver gear, blade already drawn. They had a load of good equipment on them, rifles, knives, side-arms, explosives, and even harpoons based on the harpoon guns they either dropped or stowed on their backs.
