Tunnels

Answering Anders, was of course George.

   "Devil Whales. And yes, the facility can... take some hits. Funnily enough those creatures are neither demonic, or whales. But try explaining marine dragons to old whalers."   

Huey and Riley seemed pretty beat up, Legoshi taking some of the gauze, disinfectant, and wipes from the healing kit Madter Shake had and began to apply it to them, his tail wagging as he did so.

But out of everyone else, Baldi seemed the most rattled, pacing back and forth.

"...So uh. Wraiths. Kind of... freaky." His dry tone, his stunted vocabulary, the forced cadence of politeness. Something about the encounter had startled him. "...Glad we're out. But I dont think its over...". Huey's response startled him, looking back from the deep-sea view to the man currently having his leg bandaged and wrapped.

"...we lost some good people in Woodcrest thanks to them. Riley picked up on a more productive use of his time-"

"Painting the block." The aforementioned graffiti artist spoke up, looking down too.

"And someone he brought with him got, well, let's say when a Wraith gets you it's not a pretty sight."

That'd when Luisa's scouting dog returned from his brief mission, a note placed on their neck with red string loosely around their neck.

Luisa would read it plainly as

"The next room. I'm no enemy."

If they decide to go to the next room, they find a red carpeted waiting room, with 2 other doors on both the west and east side, and another on the north side.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rooms.png

But only the northern door could be opened. George let out a sigh of annoyance as he he cracked his neck to the side.

   "The parlor..."   

The first to enter would see, a rather Victorian set piece. Which with the large viewing port to the outside sea really made it seem fantastical. The red carpet however was a tad neglected, and so were the seats. Drinks lined the walls with some not fully drunk.

And upon the counter was an odd woman who kicked her legs back and forth. Upon seeing the group, her eyes practically beamed blue luminance back at them.

"Just came back because there were some weirdos up here. Laments back to its old ways huh? Names Pina. And you guys look like you can use a short cut."

She walked with a more wild gait than the others. While her proportions and her gait was a tad eccentric, she way she fluidly moved from the counter to another set of tables was almost pantherine. Especially when she abred her canines at the group in her supposedly welcoming smile.

A familiar clicking was heard, and approaching the same viewing port was the Devil Whale, clicking and chirping to get their attention. Which did catch Pina off guard.

"Huh, he likes one of you."

Gau is definitely somewhat confused by the gesture, but he accepts Baz' hug. He seems to like it though, happily hugging her back as if it's the first time he's ever been hugged.

Little would Baz know, that's exactly the case.

Afterwards, he looks worried for Matthew too. If only he was aware that it was poison and not disease that plagued Matthew, he could cure the former, or at least help Totem mitigate the effects. Though the frequent use of magic would mean that if Gau were to use Poisona, he'd likely start running out of MP soon.

This, in actuality, had been the main reason for Soan deciding Gau wouldn't heal people for free. Because if his MP is gone at a time when they need magic to survive, the two of them would be goners, as Soan has no magic at all.

Gau walks over to Matthew and sits down near him.

"Matthew poisoned? Gau try to help. Poisona only cures weak poisons though... but Matthew should still feel better!"

"Gau.", Soan says.

"Friends fed Gau, right?", he says while looking back at Soan with a slight smirk. Despite being a wild child, he's smart enough to take loopholes into account.

Soan acknowledges this and does not object.

Gau can try to cast Poisona directly, or perhaps add the magic to Totem's mixture to strength its effects. Whichever action would prove more helpful.

Coming War - Dialogue with the prince.

"Ack!" Aila comically yelped before giving a blank look at the prince while Valorii simply enjoyed the show.

"Oh come on. I was just messing around and..." The Arbiter pauses, noticing that there were more of the guided launchers. She did not blushed, but she quietly picked one up before letting out a wry cough. "A-anyway. Just bug casualties. Won't have to worry about us getting flooded by the bots, your highness." Aila casually responded as the grineer launcher dematerialized, now stored in her inventory and ready to be pulled out if needed.

The weird noises he let got a rise from her eyebrow, though she wasn't unnerved by it. She could definitely sense the annoyance there. The hell got into the prince charmi— Ohhhhhh...

"Hey, not my fault. We uhhh... arguably got a good plan going but it was the Space Wizard that kind of went yolo, just so you know." Was she a bit miffed that the Jedi got to fight the thing and Yosef didn't even give her a chance to go herself? No, definitely not miffed. At all. "Besides, we still got to wait." Aila glances at Zystak. "Unless the bossman wants to go ahead? I'm sure the others won't have a problem catching up." She finished with a shrug.

The Tryouts

Kurumi eyed the other candidates as they all stepped onto the elevator. Much like Robot she didn't really give most of them the time of day, though she suppressed the urge to ask if she can pet some of those cute birds. She wondered if Totem was some kind of youkai adjacent being or something.

She found herself a circle of her own and observed the construct before her. Another one of those advanced golems, or robots as humans called them. She idly looked over the other prospective heroes and raised an eyebrow on how buff Sisyphus was. She supposed that explained why he stank of sweat.

Focusing back on the Robot before her, she raised her hands up halfway as if miming holding a bow.

Light Sign - Apollo's Arrow

Kurumi then uses her power to actually form a bow and arrow made of light, she pulls back on the string then fires a practically light speed arrow at the construct. It's a pretty telegraphed attack but also has high piercing to it. In a real fight she'd probably use it on someone distracted or the like but here it helps gauge how fast her opponent is.

Assuming it somehow dodges or tanks, Kurumi would then ready herself for the counterattack.

Wrong End - Talk

Matthew's face grows pale when he hears Soan. And Baz puts her hands on her mouth, trying to cover her horrified gasp. The Spy sits up, as does Rick, while Reed frowns.

No...! Baz blinks, glancing at Gau and then at "Casper" after either make their comment. How could Ekaterina have hated them all so much that she'd poison her sword prior to killing them all? Had she made up her mind already when she'd picked it up from "Aelun"'s massacred corpse? Would she have it when she'd come back? Because she would. As would everyone they've been fighting thus far.

There was was a chance they'd be at the shelter-

Baz snaps out of her thoughts. Projecting her thoughts far unto the future was one thing - but they had much closer problems to worry about.

Gau, that magic of yours... You need to use some energy to heal people, right? What if you could run out of it? She says, and immediately feel bad for it. Because, selfishly, she did put Matthew's life over a risk of Gau running out of... energy. Worse came to worse, and again she was projecting herself far, they could cover for it, right? But she didn't want to beg Gau for help.

He had to be the one to come up with a solution.

As for Matthew, the young man gulped, feeling trepidation going down his entire body. He'd seen and faced death countless times, and that had made him thought he could bear with it when he'd be faced with his own mortality but... a deep fear had seized him the moment the prognostic had fallen. And now, he was struggling to hold back his tears.

He did not want to die - it wasn't his first respawn, but you never got used to them. And he'd be split off from that group if he managed to return anyway - left cold and alone, in a dark corner of the Mad Arena, far from what "civilization" had remained. If Harthorn's hands felt cold right now, the Mad Arena would be worse.

The thought of it convinced him to put his hands together.

"P-please do it... I... I don't want to die" Matthew says, his voice a incoherent stream. ".. Help me. I don't want to die please"

Baz's eyes softens, and she looks at Gau, trying not to look too pleading.

"Full night's sleep restores Gau magic. Or Ether. But Ethers rare, and Gau has none.", he says.

"Gau use Poisona... then Gau will only have one Cure left."

Only one. One big heal or a split weaker heal. But that's all he'll be able to provide afterwards if he saves Matthew now, unless they can manage to go without at least 8 hours of Gau being able to help at ''all', or somehow have the luck to find an Ether for him.

This may be a reason for pondering for others, but Gau does not hesitate, glowing purple for a moment as he starts casting Poisona.

Together with Totem's mixture, it will hopefully do the trick.

Soan, again, does not object. This is Gau's decision to make, and they did give him food earlier.

The Wrong End-Talk

The Totem finished the concoction. Honey, activated charcoal, oxalates, polysaccharides... it could help. There would he internal damage because of the poison for the rest of his life, but luckily Gau's addition to the slurry would help his body stabilize after most trace amounts would leave his body. He placed the bowl besides them, preparing to help draw out the currently contaminated blood in his kidneys and apply a zinc, magnesium, electrolyte solution when-

Matthew started to plead for his life. They all saw Harthorn freeze up. Casper had frozen in the act, and was suddenly staring down at Matthew like a hawk.

He remembered-


"-I... I don't want to die..." In Casper's arms was his best friend, partially resembling some demonic harlequin, having lost half of his torso. And despite Casper's efforts, the redhead was not stabilizing. Casper was panicked, trying to stop the corrupted Jock's organs from falling further to the floor. He tried to remain calm, looking on in a neutral expression. His tone however, showed some of that facade beginning to shake itself apart.

"...hey Emer... What do you recommend?" He addressed the yellow-jacket fairy behind him, who always hated to see this. Humans hated grieving, they needed to find solutions. Desperation was a powerful coping method, but despite Phantom Jaw's best attempts to cauterize any wound they could, Casper was left to hold onto the man's torn visage. So Emer, was silent for a bit. Casper's tone slipped in something. Anger? To the untrained ear-

"Well? What can we do?" Fear tends to sound alot like wrath.

The fairy sighed, his thick Celtics draw coming through as he fluttered to Casper's side, putting his hand to the man's shoulder. "We do what we can, and don't let go."

Casper's tears betrayed his stoic expression, looking back to the man who had forgotten him. And yet, pushed him out of the way of the Fallen Angel's bite. "...Just hang in there..." The man could sense his imminent demise in Casper's voice.

"...I'm dieng aren't I bub?" Casper's eyes widened, his stoic expression turning to shock.

"You... you remembered?"


That minute long pause felt like eternity for Matthew, Baz, and Gau. Before Casper's voice came from Harthorn instead.

"Than hold on tight."

He invited Gau, Baz, and Reed to his side, Harthorn's voice returning to the forefront, his clinical dryness no longer punctuated wirh what could have been perceived prior as indifference.

"ℌ𝔬𝔩𝔡 𝔥𝔦𝔰 𝔥𝔞𝔫𝔡. 𝔎𝔢𝔢𝔭 𝔥𝔦𝔪 𝔡𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔞𝔠𝔱𝔢𝔡."

He would gently stab Matthew's side. Drawing some blood out from his kidneys, he would aim his other wrist syringe to his arm, keeping him hydrated and hoping to build up his immune system as he did what was in essence, a transfusion.

Gau does as told and holds onto Matthew's hand. Given that he's strong, a few squeezes in said hand would likely help distract Matthew.

Konngara goes flying. While cursing her own carelessness, she catches herself by planting one of her swords in the ground. She gathers energy in her blades and launches a cross-shaped Sword Beam at the Rahkshi.

Fudou Myouou goes in on the Rahkshi directly, using his own Glorious Executioner slash barrage.

William winces vicariously at Konngara getting caught in the explosion, but he keeps his shield up, which is enough to block the jumping slashes. He gets caught off-guard by the follow-up attack, and it cleaves a burning scar into his back and shield arm.

   "Argh!"   

He stumbles away, conveniently jarring his vision in the right direction to see the Timekeeper Vahki's remains, reminding him of the mission.

   "Konngara, we can't waste time and energy here! We've gotta just grab the Vahki and go!"   

With that, he dives into the flames, grabs the ruined machine, and flies out with it in tow.

Fort Dawnguard

Alear gets a sense of dread from Beruka's attack. Still, she stands her ground. She mustn't show fear or apprehension.

As Beruka comes down, Alear stabs forward.

Medusa departs the premises.


Remains of Blazing Hell

The Rahkshi slashes through the sword beam, only to get blitzed by Fudou Myouou. It falls to its knees, bracing itself with its large flaming claw. Could William be wrong? Can they beat it here and now?

It aims its right arm up. More Kanoka disks, these of Ga-Metru make, swirl into existence in its launchers. It fires them up into the air like the earlier mortar attack, but instead of simply rising and falling, once the disks reach the peak of their ascent, they suddenly become homing and arc directly toward their targets. Konngara, William, and Fudou Myouou are each targeted by a homing disk.

Konngara is hardly a novice to dodging attacks with a homing factor. Deftly retrieving her planted katana, she moves in a blur, luring the homing disc to follow her and vaulting over it at the last second, letting it plant itself into the rock behind her.

Fudou Myouou, however, does not have the same agility and crashes to the ground in a cloud of dust as a disc plants itself in his chest. He distorts and flickers like a hologram as technicolor rectangles dance about his surface like glitchy sparkles, lining the rims of gaps that open up in his form.

"We can't just leave it here. It's an abomination against the very laws of the spirit world, and by my honor as the Astral Knight, I shall not suffer the-" as she draws Morpho Knight's sword for a counterattack, Konngara abruptly clutches her chest in empathic pain. "Damn it all! This fight would be difficult enough without an additional weak point to keep in mind!" she curses. "But without its firepower, we wouldn't stand a chance..."

Dawnguard

Beruka stops short a few seconds before the clash - but only when Alear attacks. This causes her to actually blink, when she'd previously charged like a missile.

She jumps back, flipping over, hitting the ground with her hand, and then further jumping back... just in case Alear get a bit bloodthirsty.

Very satisfactory. She says.

Seiros smiles proudly. Alear has successfully impressed their future allies. Seteth looks pleased as well, and Flayn looks happy for Alear.


Remains of Blazing Hell

The Timekeeper is already dead, or at least functionally is for all intents and purposes. I mean, it was just resting in a pit of liquid hellfire.

So, William holds up its body to take the Ga-Metru disk for him while he watches Konngara get hit. If she wasn't so focused on her katana, she presumably could've dismissed her Persona so he wouldn't be there to hit. In his mind, that's what she should've done instead of going for her sword. Katanas are a dime a dozen where he comes from, but in the heat of the action (no pun intended) he doesn't dare openly question this one's value to its owner. Only internally.

Right now, they have places to be.

Beruka puts her axe away. Her stress and worry had yet to subside, but she felt... good, after battling with Alear. The young woman reminded her of someone and that reminder was, for now, comforting.

If probably not healthy in the long run.

You are skilled at combat, quick on your feet, aware of your limits but striving to surpass them. You were scared. Yet you fought on.

... The last part is especially good for Shepherds, I'll have you known. It's one thing to be brave - another is to be simply dismissive of danger.

Yeah, she's learned her lesson. As she winces at the burning telepathy again (that trick is seriously starting to get old), away goes Fudou Myouou - she can't afford a weak point to babysit, not in the face of an attack like this.

Even without the Persona, the obscene amount of homing discs pushes her skills to the limit. Konngara whirls like a dervish and weaves like a needle, finding any possible gap in the onslaught as she tricks and deflects the discs into colliding with the terrain or with each other. The prideful swordmaster hates to admit it, but she can't keep this up much longer. If this thing can just keep going at it, inevitably something will give and she will find herself diced to pieces. Beyond that, she also needs to think about William, who will probably succumb long before that.

"Fine. You win. Just because we can't yet afford to die here while our friends are still stuck here in Hell. As for you," she glares at the Rahkshi, "don't think for a moment that this is over."

She slashes a new blazing portal through reality, destination "anywhere but here".

Flayn quickly backs off, and Seteth's eyes turn fierce and protective. Seiros actually looks ready to take her up on the offer.

... but then Beruka backs off, and while Seteth is still suspicious, Seiros nods.

"We do all have our flaws. As long as you meant it as a joke it is fine."

She looks back at Seteth, silently asking him if it's fine with him too. Seteth breathes out through his nose before holding Flayn close to him.

"We'll have to see, I suppose."

Well, that's not a no.

   "Gah, I hate that!"    William curses when the Rahkshi 'speaks' again. Through the power of adrenaline, he keeps his grip on the robot, and makes it through Konngara's rift in the nick of time.

Seiros looks confused, then shows a kind smile.

"Dear child, why would you think we're leaving you on your own? We wouldn't leave unless you want us to."

"I do not want to part ways either, Alear! There is still so much more we can talk about!", Flayn happily says.

Seteth decides to calm himself a bit, for Alear's sake.

"Not when the humor is aimed at my younger sister.", he says to Beruka. "She has already gotten severely hurt once. The thought of her being in any form of danger is an unbearable one."

He then looks back at Alear and manages to show a smile of his own too.

"Regardless, it is as Seiros says. Granted that we're allowed to stay here of course. We will go through any sort of security measures you need to take if you do not trust us.", he says, the last sentence aimed at Beruka.

Beruka nods solemnly. My apologies, then. My humor was crude. She'd have been more defensive back then, but with Corrin gone, she generally found herself even quicker to dispense with discussions.

She screwed up, now it was time to return to her usual schedule. No need to argue back with Seteth when his motives were already reasonable.

I apologize to you as well. Beruka says to Flayn, which made sense in her eyes. She was the one who had been hurt.

Yes. Dawnguard is vast. There will easily be room enough for you. Beruka says. Then Bernadetta emerges, and Beruka's right eye twitch in early annoyance.

... Which is then replaced with curiosity when she notices why Bernie's freaking out.

... Hm. She glances at Seiro, now looking much more visibly impressed/wary. The taller woman had never looked like an ordinary warrior, but for her to draw these reactions... Well, Bernie was a scaredy coward, but one who stood tall against Takumi all the same. So there was likely a nugget of justification in her current outburst.

If only a nugget.

Please do not smite her. Our effectives would be diminished.

She doesn't actually clarify if she's joking or not.
