@The_Divine_PhoenixJiraya had remained quiet for a bit, letting the pheonix-woman talk to the elemental as he just observed it, but he feels he should chime in.
"Would i be welcomed to stay here as swell ?"
"... Oof, you must be really behind sonny... But, alright. I don't quite remember what the world was like before, but that light up there in the sky did something to change the world substantially. And from there, some folks like you with special abilities came and were told to find a method to fix the world's problems, or somethin' like that.""Ah, excuse me. I just kind of woke up. To see the world has been very destroyed. I'm a little bit confused. What exactly is going on?"
"WHY STARVE WHEN BIG SKY LIGHT GIVE SUSTAINANCE!?"Friend I'm lost, and I'm starving, I'll do anything for money or food"
"There are a few things called Pillaworms burrowing underground outside the city. I can dowse them out for you, as soon as we get there!""Hey Fi, can you dowse for Insectoids and Worms for me please?"
"Well, I don't exactly have a method to generate a beacon, so, I'll need to get going. I'll come back soon, don't worry about me.""So, will you call your fellows to here then?"
"Hee-ho!""I think that waas enough of a break! Now, let's go inside that bakery!"
The opponent is barely phased by the wave of force, merely sliding across the ground some centimeters. Meanwhile, the sudden forward movement of his charge forward proves to have far more power to it.Serena quickly steps back slightly, as her army all raises their weapons, ready to fire the instant he moved. Their hive mind and connection to her own ensuring that everyone present would be ready if any of them were.
I'm not sure if they'll be strong enough to take him out, but at the least, they'll provide a distraction. If I'm lucky, the conditions for my Kyudan could be met, but I shouldn't rely on that.
She draws her own weapon and readies herself, while her eyes turn a burning gold and an invisible wave of force is sent out from her to strike her opponent, the ground around her cracking from the pressure.
"Strange, I'm still hungry but my body says no, well, I better not bother you and I'm going" he said while backtracking a bit."WHY STARVE WHEN BIG SKY LIGHT GIVE SUSTAINANCE!?"
Speaking of, you do notice you don't feel nearly as hungry as you should here. Are they onto something?
... Well, not really onto it enough because you still feel it would be nice to actually eat
(I was just letting you know I wasn’t lying.)
“Argh!”
He crunch his teeth at the bite of the blow delivered tore through his glass bones.
“DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE”
His canines cracking open,he unleashes a howl that quaked the man’s bones.A summon flickers into existence in between the space of the two beings.
NYAAAAA
A pearly skinned woman with cat ears appeared. Her face and extremities covered in bloody crevices written to form Japanese text.Several arms sprout and began striking the man.Flashing it’s beams of light across the man’s face.
“NRRRGGHAGHHHHH.”
The Mandarin screams again,his wounds shutting as a copy of it cleaves its way into the summon. Transferring any harm done to him into her.
Squeee
Her wounds closed like an eye shutting. With the haste and fury,she begins firing homing orbs from the words carved into her flesh.
(So I don’t have to state this later,Janus’s summons have high-mid Regen,albeit only one can have this ability)
The number of men lost, while large, is not insurmountable, evidenced by the fact that more quickly fill in the spots where the now bisected ones used to be, with the dying ones either healing slowly or just fading away as they bled out. The new soldiers attempted to form a ring of sorts around the opponent, firing inward the whole time, providing a hail of simultaneous, expertly aimed gunfire, even if it previously proved ineffective.The opponent is barely phased by the wave of force, merely sliding across the ground some centimeters. Meanwhile, the sudden forward movement of his charge forward proves to have far more power to it.
He charges straight into her forces with no fear, the gunfire pounding against his body. You can see some blood drawn, so he is indeed killable... But, he will not let such be pursued so easily. With a mighty swing, he outright cleaves an entire row of soldiers in twane, causing the rest to be thrown back by a resulting shockwave. From there, she's wide open, with the man moving forth with death in his eyes.
"That is very wonderful goal you have in mind, i will help however i can so you may achieve it.""I believe it may be wise to make this place a safe haven for all types of life. Expand it, perhaps."
The mechanical girl said, partially seeming to speak to herself in this.
Being underground, it still hasn't noticed you. On the other hand... They're going to be difficult to hit given the circumstances. Plan to get them out?"Well shit, I was gonna try and get the drop on them but I guess that plan is out the window now."
There are chocolate cakes, as well."Huh... tree ma- wait do they have chocolate cakes?" Dy1 says, as he notices the cakes. "Oooh, churros too!"
As the man witnesses more soldiers file into the fray, some slowly healing, he releases a 'tch'He can get through them rather easily, but the longer I'm out of his reach, the better, although I'm not sure I can get away with this again.
Dy1 tries to check for his pockets for money, as he smiles. "Yeah!"There are chocolate cakes, as well.
"Its not that I only can use the masses, it's doing things tactically. Rushing into close quarters with you wouldn't work out very well unless I either get your movements down first, or injure you in some way first, and that's why I fought how I did just now."As the man witnesses more soldiers file into the fray, some slowly healing, he releases a 'tch'
"So, you refuse to engage me directly... Very well. IF YOU CALL THAT LEADERSHIP, THEN PREPARE TO FACE ME ALONE!"
He releases a mighty swing again, spinning around in a circle to completely tear through her forces... Except, this time, even those with nonlethal wounds fail to heal... Something that man is doing is negating their ability to regenerate. He moves forth, continuing to tear through her forces until she pulls out her Briah, opening fire. He barely has time to react as he's caught mid swing, forcing him to just raise his hand and block with his palm. A massive blast of fire envelops his form as a result, concealing their vision for a moment.
By the time it clears, it's obvious his hand is broken, and his soul was noticeably damaged from the impact.
"Grr... Very well. Even if I am not fond of your tactics, you are not to be underestimated... But all the same... If you are to rely on a simple mass of bodies to achieve anything... Do you truly believe you yourself will be hardened enough to face your country's hardships?"
He's entirely empty, however...Dy1 tries to check for his pockets for money, as he smiles. "Yeah!"
"Your wisdom is admirable, but all leaders require strength beyond the way they can utilize their men. If that is your answer, then face me!""Its not that I only can use the masses, it's doing things tactically. Rushing into close quarters with you wouldn't work out very well unless I either get your movements down first, or injure you in some way first, and that's why I fought how I did just now."
"I have the power to face threats alone, of that I am sure, but if I relied blindly on my own strength, I'd find an opponent I couldn't beat like that." She reasons
"So to answer your question, yes, I believe I will be hardened enough to face those hardships."
"If you wish to continue, I can face you myself instead of retreating behind my soldiers, I didn't expect that tactic to continue working anyway."
"Ah thank you! However, let me help with that!!" Dy1 lifts Concrehee-ho with a smile, to give him more height for the counter.He's entirely empty, however...
"I've got you covered, hee-ho!"
Concrehee-ho raises about 20 coins, inscribed with a shape akin to the light in the sky.
... Though he is just barely too short to even reach the counter, with said money.
The expansion is speed up thanks to the man's presence."Very well. Your cooperation is accepted."
She mentions. Not long after, Artifice Siren descends and begins patrolling the area, making observations and so on. The area of the mountain begins expanding as well, more structures being made by the Elementals shaping the land.
"I do not know why they have summoned us here, but I believe I have found my goal."
Her remaining men part, leaving an open path for her, so they didn't get in the way. After a few loud barks, even the two headed, half blindfolded giant black dog sat down and watched."Your wisdom is admirable, but all leaders require strength beyond the way they can utilize their men. If that is your answer, then face me!"
He takes a few steps back, and with his non-broken hand, tries to mess with the bones of the other and get them to properly heal back, to which they do within a few moments. He doesn't heal any of his other injuries though... Is he worried about not having enough power to heal when it really counts? His soul is entirely untouched, maybe that's a simple matter of a limitation to his capabilities.
Either way, it is her move now. She has responded with words, now comes actions.
With his speed still greatly amplified, he relies on his hearing after the flash of light, weaving away from the assaults with grace as unleashes a massive blast of fire over the entire area, burning both of them greatly and serving to blind them.
"Huh... Didn't feel this smooth before things went south. Guess you've got to have some moves if you're in the post apocalypse."
@DMUA"Strange, I'm still hungry but my body says no, well, I better not bother you and I'm going" he said while backtracking a bit.
"I would still like to know them even if they are weird, as they would help understand the relationship between you better.""Eh, maybe. Our opinions on each other might be a bit weird, though. We're also all awake the entire time, and can talk to each other when we're like this. Those spirits should be getting back soon too. Maybe Siren will have found something too."
"Ah thank you! However, let me help with that!!" Dy1 lifts Concrehee-ho with a smile, to give him more height for the counter.
[It'll probably take awhile for this to yield anything4 of Jiraya's clones start exploring the world, heading each in a separate cardinal direction in comparation to the mountain.
[This will also take some time][Asking if the spirits show up anytime soon, and if Siren finds anything else unusual while surveying the surroundings]
[... Backtrack where?]@DMUA
The maneuver definitely takes him aback, as he witnesses the pincer attack unfold... To be sure, it is a clever assault, but one his battle hardened senses are ready for.The tank's barrel adjusts slightly, seemingly aiming lower, towards a leg perhaps. And the instant that's done, she makes her move. Serena imbues her sword with the cancel dream, and dashes in, teleporting once to close the distance and arrive towards the opponent's side, rather than the front, her reason for this was due to the second shot which could be heard, resulting in another shell flying in from her relic. Hoping he's distracted by trying to avoid this, she swings towards his weapon with the blade, trying to erase the weapon.
[You mean the precog that's restricted and the instinctive reaction that won't help if you're nearly blitzed, like what is the case here due to his speed amping?](Utilizing both the Precog from Gaunter or Janus’s Instinctive Reactions)
"Yes please!" Dy1 says with a smile, still holding Concrehee-ho. "And yeah, they're a trustworthy friend!"Now that he has become e l e v a t e d, Concrehee-ho puts about 5 coins down.
"... Ah, it seems you have a trustworthy buddy. You wanted the chocolate cake, yes?"
(I go Backtrack since I don't need the spirits because that light feeds me as you describe)[... Backtrack where?]
[You expect me to generate your action where you aren't really doing anything significant.]
(searching the others, I'm not sure if alastor's precognitive abilities would allow me to perceive the presence of one of the others' characters)[Alright now what do you do? You're on your motorcycle, city's still mostly barren.]
