Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

Mel

Mel watched the aftermath of the fight with the Aberrant. Rose talking with the two newcomers and healing Vize. Vash picking up the weapons that had spawned, holding each tightly and staring at them with the eyes of a child with new toys.


According to this Morgana woman, it seemed like Azure was somewhere called Tartarus. Though whether she meant the one they were looking for or Captain Planet, Mel couldn't tell. Still, it was better than nothing. They at least had a lead. They found the Vize girl they were supposed to meet up with. And they've got a couple of meat shields as well. Still, they hadn't heard from Kylier since the Aberrant first appeared and that didn't feel quite right.


"Whatever," she told Milia and Morgana. "Just don't get in my way."


The conversation then began to steer toward the static portal before them, or rather what to do about it. Vash wanted to explore it, as if anyone had to ask. Rose was a tad more cautious, wanting to just go ahead toward whichever Azure Morgana was talking about. Mel needed a bit of time to think. On one hand, moving on ahead would waste less time. They didn't exactly have any business with this thing. However, if Mel learned anything on her travels, it's that enemies can hide anywhere. It'd be best to check out this thing before they turned their backs to it. Given how neither Milia or Morgana could enter it, it was already apparent that it was something that shouldn't be there.


Rose and Vash seemed to be fighting now. Each screaming that they should or shouldn't enter it. Already getting a headache from it, Mel didn't bother speaking her standpoint. Instead, she walked over, grabbed Rose and threw her into the portal. "Go see if it's safe."


Vash jumped in after, a wide grin on his face for getting his way, gaining a deep sigh from Mel. She had intended for only Rose to enter since the others lacked whatever ability made it safe for her. But with that idiot charging in like an idiot, she'd have to go as well. "******* dumbass," she muttered before walking in herself.

 

[Advent Azure]

"Waa!! Wait for me!"


Vize entered in after them all, not wanting to be left out.


The inside of the portal lead to what seemed to be a void of static. The entrance they had came from is no where in sight, and we're all floating in the zone as if they were in space. Every direction had infinitely more static to see, and had no way out, it didn't appear to be anything to breathe either, yet somehow had no need to. It was easy to be overwhelmed... And became incredibly hard to do anything as they floated there...


"Slllleeeepppyyy..."


One by one, everyone blacked out, unable to resist the state for long........................


Eventually everyone slowly woke up in what appeared to be a cave somewhere.


"... Huh... Waa! I'm see through!"


Everyone appeared intangible, being both see-through and unable to interact with things... Judging how Vize was putting her wings through herself... It was like everyone was ghosts, except you couldn't fly and could only stand on the ground and move around...


"...? Azure?"


Vize noticed what appeared to be a significantly younger version Azure, and looked to be somewhere from the age of 6 or 7. His clothing looked exactly as his casual clothing does today, except made to fit his current size. He looked incredibly worn, dirty, and had some cuts and bruises with his clothing was in tatters but appeared to be holding well enough. He was huddled up with his legs against his chest with his arms wrapped around his legs


"Hey...? What happened to Azure?"


Vize looked at the others not understanding at all what is going on. What she said didn't appear to be heard by Azure. She went over to try touching Azure, but simply went on through him.


"... Everything is going to be alright... I can give you enough magic to absorb without tiring myself out. I'm not going to let you die by that thing."


Someone appeared to be talking nearby... But... For those who would look... All that would be seen is static figures in the shape of a human person... One of them appeared to have Azure's Shadow Blade, that Rose would easily be able to notice, along with the strange markings that Rose had seen on Azure a few times. They appeared to be spread over a large portion of the static figure's body, being planning visible on it as well...


"Just don't hurt yourself doing it... They're still looking for us all, and if they find us."


"Then I'll kill them, I refuse to let you all suffer like this forever... Everything is going to work out dear... Just trust me..."


The sound of static began to build up again without warning... And as everything in sight began melting into static, a sound of static began to echo again, and made everything go dark once more...


The next thing everyone would know is waking up with Morgana and Milia nearby


"What if they don't wake up though?! It's been 15 minutes already!"


"Have faith that they will awaken, I can sense that they have not passed. They appear to be active on some level..."

 

[amdreams]

Rose

Rose wasn't sure to make of what had happened. When she was thrown into the portal, something happened and she blacked out. When she came to, she saw . . . something. A younger Azure, static figures with familiar dark marks and the knife Azure carries around with him. The static figures were saying something but before she could think anything of it, there was suddenly a lot of static and things went black again.


This time when Rose opened her eyes, she was back outside. She found herself looking around, curious to see if anyone had seen what she did. She had seen them there but it could've easily just been a dream. Vash seemed as confused as she but then again, he was always confused. And Mel wasn't showing anything on her face. None of this was helping Rose very much.


Other than that, she saw Morgana and Milia. Vize too. "What happened?" she asked. "I . . . something . . . I don't know. I thought I went through a portal but . . . What did it look like on your end?"

 

[Advent Azure]

"... Wha. What happened?! I'm up!!!"


Vize got up in a hurry looking around, only to see that they were back in the game...?


"Uh... it looked like, a cavey place with a smallish... smaller than normal Azure and TV garbage people? I think one of the garbage people had tattoos?"


"It appears that they have awoken."


Morgana went over toward them while Milia got up and dusted herself off a bit


"I believe I heard you right... but, it sounds as if you do not know what to make of what you experienced... regardless the distortion here has completely vanished, it would be best to continue onward toward Tartarus..."


The group ventured onward, fighting through the enemies toward their destination.


As they went, the area seemed to somehow be healthier looking as they approached.


Everyone has gained 2 levels, bringing them to level 47.


New Skills have been learned


New Weapons have been obtained


As they exit the forest... the first thing that they couldn't help but notice, is how healthy the plant life and area feels. The sky is completely clear, and is almost a stark contrast to where they were before... In front of them... is a tower that appears to be extending into the sky for miles and miles... it is impossible to see where its end is, due to how high it appears to extend upward. The tower is so big that it is even difficult to tell how thick it is... however... its can't be under a couple miles thick in diameter. It appears to have that same deep cobalt color that Mel had noticed Azure was on, and at the very least, matched. The tower's outside appears to be sophisticated in design. Even the grass near the tower is colorized the same way for quite a distance away from where the tower connects with the land.


"This, is Tartarus. So it is true... it has been brought back onto this world... but it appears that he has sealed it..."


Morgana turned toward the others


"Tartarus is the equivalent of the underworld, housing all things ire. It has always existed in a dormant state in this world, as is normal, however, it appeared here due to an unnatural force that I, Milia, and others have vanquished long ago. That said, the tower became innert, and reverted into a ruined state. However, something has caused the tower's revival, and as a result, has all but ravaged all of the world to the state you see here, sparing only the most remote or defended locations. Normally, we would have been met with impossibly strong foes... for our current strength... however, Azure has sealed Tartarus, the tower with no beginning nor end. It is because of this that what remains as we see it now still exists. Were it not for his action a year ago, the world may have become a lifeless husk, void of us all."


"Enough of the history lecture, nobody cares... I'll get us inside..."


Milia went on toward the tower, and as she approached, a barrier of shifting lights appeared, that seemed to surround the tower. As she came further onto it, the barrier gave way to Milia's presence to let her through, and expanded into a form of gate for them.


"Let's go, I'm not just gonna wait around like an all-access pass"


As the group came upon the tower, Milia appeared to do something once more to create a massive entrance for them to all enter


The Infinte Tower: Tartarus





Music: Ethernal Tower [media]





[/media]
As they all went inside, they were immediately beset with a feeling a safety. There was a certainty that there were not going to be enemies wandering around inside here. The area has fully Healed the party


The tower appears to be just as blue on the inside as it was out. There is absolutely nothing in the room that is not cobalt colored, besides Mel's group.


"Although this tower extends infinitely, that does not mean that mean Azure is that far as well. However... there is a problem. Azure was unsuccessful with his fight against the Aberrant, and thus, sealed himself away as a means of recovery and world stability. As such, he is simply beyond our reach at this time regardless of our efforts or at the very least, currently lack the method to reach him. Milia if you please."


"Traport!"


A light blue light engulfed everyone, and were transported elsewhere within the tower


"It is less time consuming that walking, considering the nature of this tower..."


The place still appeared to be Tartarus, from the look of the area... but there were 8 doors, each on a side on a wall spread all around the room. Directly above everyone far high up, was a barrier radiating a rainbow of colors. Mel and Vash could Sense Azure somewhere on the other side of that barrier


"For those who understand this place, the laws of reality can be changed and altered to best fit one's needs. As such, what we need is all laid out in this room."


"Hey... should I uh... do it now or later?"


"Later would be a better time, save your strength..."


Morgana turned back toward the others.


"If you are going to have a chance at making it through the other side... you will need the aid of the other seven. Without them, you will never overcome Azure's Barrier that lays above us."


"... right... I guess there's no point in going through my door then..."


"Each of these doors leads to a land overflowing with a specific element's energy. You may get tired or sick if you are in contrast with that element, and consequently perform poorly in battle, however, for those who match it, your performance will increase thusly. The areas, to put general, are brimming with the elemental affinities of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Ice, Light, and Dark... we can proceed in whatever order you wish. We may have more trouble in some areas than others mind you..."


The task has been set, go through all the doors, and meet up with all the others who are in the lands.

Rose

The entire trip to Tartarus, Rose was feeling uneasy. If Vize's testimony was true then what she saw wasn't a dream. And though she wasn't exactly sure what it was she saw, she still couldn't shake off the feeling that she didn't like it.


As they neared Tartarus, Rose could only think "That's a lot of blue . . . " It certainly was. Everything she saw was a bright cobalt blue. Enough so that it was a bit hard on her eyes. But at least it felt safe inside. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they would be able to rest for long. According to Morgana, Azure was on the other side of some barrier, but to get through, they'd have to finish 8 more doors. Why couldn't things just be easy?


Rose looked around the room at the doors. Which one should they choose? How were they going to choose? Each door was identical in appearance. No distinguishing features or markers other than an elemental symbol. They had no idea which door had the weaker creatures or stronger ones. Which one? Whi-


"LEEERRRROOOOOOYYYYYYY JJJJJEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


Rose jumped at the sound of Vash screaming. Turning around, she saw him rush through a random door, leaving a very pissed off Mel behind. "You ******* ****!" she shouted before following after him.


She began to laugh nervously, angry at the two for choosing their destination for the group. Seriously? They weren't even going to discuss it? Those insufferable little - "Well, I guess we're choosing that door . . . " she said, noting the fire-like symbol on the door.

 

[Advent Azure]

Scorched Earth: Hildis Savanna


[media]





[/media]
The area before everyone appeared devastated. The land itself appeared to have the life burned out of it. What appeared to be left of the trees were little more than crisp sticks that looked as though wind itself could blow them down. Overall the land looked arid, and devoid of life, it doesn't look like anything could have lived here ever, past present or future.


As everyone came on through the door, the doorway behind them vanished into nothingness as they appeared to be stranded in this dead landscape. It may not have been that bad of a feeling, if there wasn't as hot feeling in this area.


"This place was once a..."


Milia interjected as Morgana began to talk about what this place once was, covering her mouth.


"Seriously, stop I know that they don't know what's what here... but honestly I don't care, knowing about this place or what it once was isn't gonna help in the slightest, this place is dead, and at best, will remain as such and will not worsen or anything."


"..."


"I'm sorry... I just don't want to relive those memories again, I don't want to hear it..."


Mel could sense two notable presences in the area that were far away... one of them felt like the Aberrant that they had fought not long ago, and another who felt similar to Milia in some way.


Skyia became to felt weaker due to conflicting elemental affinities.





Scorched Earth: The Cinderspire


[media]





[/media]
The group heads onward toward the presences and eventually came upon what appeared to be a volcano. It didn't appear to be active based on the lack of smoke and bubbling. What was immediately noticeable was that the volcano appeared to be almost cleaved entirely in half somehow... There appeared to be buildings built directly into the side of the volcano even, although are clearly ruined now. Based on the lack of life in this area... it appeared that anyone who may have lived here before is...


The presences that Mel and Vash were sensing appeared to be together, or at least rather close within the inert volcano, fighting, and have been as they approached, despite still being out of sight. As they went deeper in the volcano's depths, Mel sensed that the two had stopped fighting it appeared, and separated. The Aberrant moved went elsewhere, yet still felt nearby. Tremors could be felt they came closer...


"... this is problematic... it would be inopportune if the volcano were to reactivate now... and erupt while we reside in its tombs..."


"Well if it does happen, I'm sure I'll have enough room in my barrier to fit at least you in with me Rose. It may be a little tight, but I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem "


The heat is rather high, due to the presence of lava out in the open... Skyia is now tired, due to the element of the land.


Based on where the two energy presences That Mel could detect, they had separated for now... They had the choice to meet up with the person who was fighting the Aberrant...





Vash is starting to learn a new ability...


Despite contact with Kylier being reestablished... she hasn't done a transmission since the fight with the Aberrant... you can tell its there due to an altered objective.

 

[amdreams]

Rose

Rose always liked hot weather over cold but this was just too much. The world beyond the door looked like it had been scorched entirely, with the landscape being little more than burnt trees and rock. It didn't exactly give a good feeling.


They went on, eventually coming across what seemed to be a volcano. Or what was left of one. Seeing the massive mound split cleanly, a lump formed in Rose's throat. What could be strong enough to do that? And more importantly, was this person friend or foe?


Rose felt even worse after Morgana toyed with the idea of the volcano erupting while they were still there, awkwardly stepping away from Milia as the woman spoke of pulling the half-elf into her barrier. Laughing nervously, she tried to change the subject, walking forward in the direction of the aberrant. "Well, I guess we should move on, right?"


She didn't make it 3 steps before being pulled back forcibly by Mel. "H-hey! What are you doing?!"


Mel didn't even look at her before stating, "Not that way. We're going this way."


"Wha-why? It's not like you're the boss or anything."


Mel sent a glare Rose's way before rolling her eyes. "If I recall, I'm the 'leader' of this party, am I not? Does or does that not make me the 'boss'?"


Rose fell quiet after that to which Vash piped up. "Your way led to the static man monster. This one leads to . . . well, I dunno but it's gonna be an adventure!"

 

[Advent Azure]

"... I can sense her... Hopefully her condition had not deteriorated further..."


Music: None


The group continued farther through the cave path toward the other being Mel and Vash had detected, until they came upon a very large room within the cave. There appeared to be a lava lake toward the edge of the area, with a rather tall woman standing quite aways away.


The woman appeared to be armored a fair bit, leaving bare only a few places on her that had nothing on her, such as her midriff, elbows, and bust. She was rather tall compared to the rest of the group, looking to be perhaps 6'4 or 6'5 roughly in standard footwear armor. She looked to be rather injured, but full of energy somehow.


Despite having her back turned, she seemed to notice the group and turned toward them. She looked like she was nearing some sort of crazed anger, based on the intensity that could be seen in her eyes, and what looked like exhausted or fiery breaths that she was giving.


She certainly didn't look friendly, and had vibes about her that suggested a storm of violence would be unleashed if you so much as looked at her the wrong way. There appeared to be very small patches of static on her...


"Reeza..."


Morgana appeared to be muttering words under her breath... And turned her head toward the group and spoke under her breath


"We aren't here for a fight... Her name is Reeza, and like Milia is one of the eight we will need aid of... However... As she is now... She may very well attack us soon of her own volition out of the fury that has claimed her heart as the first surviving victim of the Aberrant, and personal grief and suffering."


"Well... There's no way in hell here that she's gonna listen to you Morgana, for the drastic measures you pulled to stop 'M'. I wonder if she's forgiven me though, maybe I can get though to her while she's still got some rationality in her again."


"She looks scary though... She doesn't look like she will listen..."


Reeza looks like she is about ready to snap at the slightest thing or mistake, and is likely going to attack if nothing is done...

 

[amdreams]

Rose

Rose was quiet most of the time as the group made their way into a cave, upset with how everyone was pretty much ganging up on her earlier. She was still sulking when they came across a woman in the cave. She seemed . . . angry, to understate it. The woman reminded Rose of Maxine on her worst days, which wasn't a good thing. And they were somehow supposed to get her to help them.


She looked around to see if anyone had any ideas on what to do. Vize seemed too scared to try anything. Morgana and Milia seemed a bit hesitant. Mel had her hand clamped over Vash's mouth who seemed like he wanted to charge right on in. Rose frowned. She personally didn't want to do anything, lest she screw up and Reeza attacked them. But waiting didn't really seem like an option. So Rose decided to approach cautiously, taking no more than 4 slow steps ahead of the group. "H-hello? Reeza? Um . . . Are you . . . alright?"

 

[Advent Azure]

Reeza growled at Rose as she made her short approach, and held out a hand straight out to the right, where a fiery energy collected to create a massive two-handed greatsword. The blade of the weapon looked as big as Rose was as tall, and looked painfully sharp, something definitely not to get hit by... She stuck her weapon into the ground as Rose began talking to her.


"NO, I'M ******* NOT. I'M ****** OFF. What the hell do you want, and why the **** is Morgana there with you. You here to rub it in now that you've been released, and I'm still bound here with you're latest sacrificial lambs?!"


"..."


Morgana looked away with a guilty look on her face...


"And about YOU Milia, you're still bound just as much as I am, why are YOU with that *****"


"... Don't respond Milia..."


Milia just simply looked down with what looked like mixed feelings, and simply balled her fists and ignored her words.

 

[amdreams]

Rose

Rose jumped as Reeza snapped back at her. The woman didn't seem too fond to see Morgana and Milia. Did something happen in the past? Did Morgana do something to Reeza? And what about Milia?


There was a bit of a silence after that. Rose herself didn't know what to do. Well, that is until her eyes fell upon the static patches on Reeza. They were like the ones on Vize earlier. So did that mean she could help her like she did with the harpy? Maybe she should ask first, just to make sure. "Morgana? Those patches. Could my data drain get rid of them? She may be a bit more friendly if we help her first."

 

[Advent Azure]

"Yes... It is that corruption on her that brings out her exaggerated state of rage... Data Drain will cure her, but only if she does not resist, either by her letting you, forcing her into submission and unconsciousness, or inflicting Protect Break to prevent her from resisting entirely..."


Reeza seemed to grow angrier somehow with them ignoring her.


"If you're planning something Morgana you ***** with your friend there, it's not gonna work. You got nothing on me!"


"Reeza just shut up, we're trying to help!"


Milia looked angry as she said that, but instantly turned to a look of regret as she let loose those words and covered her mouth.


Reeza looked down with gritted teeth, andgrabbed her massive weapon out of the ground and began making her way over toward the group in a hostile manner... Stopping short about 10 feet ahort from the group, and looked up at Milia.


"Help...? Help?! Who the **** do you think you are in all this?! Where were you all when I asked for help back then when I needed it?? All the precious and important that were in my life, wasted. Even if in the grand scheme of things everyone would be saved, who am I if I can't even save those in front of me? You're just a greedy little ***** who only cares for herself and her interests. I'd bet you'd so much as risk your life just to try to make it to Havoc with the **** thats going on there now. I almost died for nothing back then and you live for nothing else now, so don't you ******* act like you know what it even means to help someone."


She pointed her massive weapon at Milia with one hand fully extended, the blades edge being apart from her by nearly an inch


"I don't care what it would mean for Azure, me, or anyone else, I'll kill you right where you stand"


Milia just stood her ground and took on her words trying hard not to react, as much as it appeared that she wanted to. She didn't want to make this any harder.


Reeza feels like she's ripe to attack, but has not quite passed that 'go all-out' threshold yet. You get the feeling that any attempt at diplomacy would have to be done now, and that this would be your last attempt to reason with her before she starts fighting the group of her own volition.

 

[amdreams]

Rose

Rose found herself stepping back, hand clutching at her heart tightly. This didn't look good. Reeza seemed ready to burst and all of Morgana and Milia's attempts to calm the woman down were failing.


The princess began racking her brain for a solution. She had been trained in things like how to speak to others, maintaining composure and all that stuff, but right now, her mind was drawing a blank. Did she try to implement a door in the face tactic? Or was it the foot in the door? Should she try to appeal to Reeza's sense of reason? No, she was too emotional for that. Maybe she should try-


"Oh shut up already."


Rose's eyes shot wide. She didn't need to turn in order to know who the source of the voice was. She cringed. Great. Mel was going to ruin this for them, wasn't she?


Mel herself stepped forward, toward the swordswoman, wearing a face that made it obvious she was sick and tired of all this shit. "Look. I have no idea what happened between the 3 of you and honestly, I don't care. That has nothing to do with what we're asking you."


"The fact of the matter is that you've been infected by something and she," Mel said, pointing to Rose, "has the ability to get rid of the whatever this ******* shit is. It doesn't matter what grudge you have against these two or whatever you've lost and haven't gotten over with. The rest of us aren't related to whatever you're pissing on about. We just need you to answer a simple question: Do you want us to get rid of it or do you want to let it spread, take over and possibly kill you where you stand?"


Mel tried to say more but by then, Vash had already grabbed her, placing his arm around her head enough to muffle and nearly suffocate her. "I'm sorry for her," he said with an apologetic smile. "But . . . I've only seen it 2 times but it looks like it really hurts."

 

[Advent Azure]

Reeza looked over toward Mel as she began to speak out at her. As she listened her rage still seemed to grow still, can't really be all that healthy if she still hasn't maxed out on rage. However she quickly grew surprised toward Mel... But not for what she was saying...


"... I see now, that's what this is about. You tried to mask it Morgana, but I can sense that these 'sheep' are fragments. I should have known better than to listen to you, no one can cure this, not even Azure! It's only a matter of time before everyone falls!"


"You're wrong, Azure has been able to fight the corruption off!"


"Shut the **** up! If I'm going to die, I'd rather go by this corruption as a bitter end than to die by the likes of you, I'm done listening, you can just listen to the sound of my fist in your ********!"


She jumped back defensively quite a bit as to not leave herself open to whatever they might try. You've failed to prevent a battle against Reeza.

"Enhanced Scan"


Reeza scanned the group, learning their stats and such


"You ***** are dead, STARTING WITH YOU MORGANA"


"Agidyne!"


A devastating fiery energy gathered around Morgana, and violently exploded all around her. Her preemptive, if not blatant start at fighting caught Morgana off guard.


Morgana took 2700 damage from the attack. (3300/6000)


Reeza grew somewhat tired from using advanced level magic


Morgana was not ignited. Morgana was not burned. Morgana was stunned by the devastating magic and has to recover.


"You idiot!"

Milia summoned her personal weapon 'Shooting Star' to fight.


"You should use that bow you got too Rose if you know how to use it, or anything! It's better than being unarmed and fist fighting with the likes of her if you ask me."


Milia standard attacked with the bow, causing her 6 drone helps to fire 6 lasers to cause additional damage.


Reeza took 800, and an additional 300 damage... Increasing her rage by 5%


"Waa..... Waa, no way... She's super scary?!"


Vize is badly intimidated by Reeza, and has very low tension, and has no morale to fight, and requires assistance.


Rose's presence is now affecting Reeza (0% -> 5%)


A text message from Kylier has been received. The message came with a soft, but noticeable ping that would catch all of the group's attention.


"Please do not share this information with those you have met in the game. After Analyzing the data from earlier fights, and from what I've learned, your character data has become corrupted Rose, and though you have infected the others due to the neural link you all share within Azure.


Please reframe from expiring within the game, or being further corrupted, as this may have significant effects outside the game due to a phenomenon known as the bleeding effect.


This effect is normally limited to positive growth such as training in the game, resulting in training in real life, and has been proven to be equal to if not better than real life training due to the ease of scenario creation, and decreased recovery time. For unknown reasons, I am unable to exit you out of the program, and the limits of the effect have been nullified, and most experiences that occur in the game, good or bad will carry over into real life.


This of course will be no cause for concern as long as you continue to succeed in your battle efforts. I will continue to look into this."

 

[amdreams]

Rose

Not good. This was not good at all. Rose clenched her jaw. Their attempts at talking Reeza into aiding them had failed. Thanks to a certain girl. Rose sent a glare Mel's way, though the girl in question didn't even notice or at least didn't let on that she did. Her eyes were glued to Reeza who had decided to attack them for now.


Rose watched as Mel shot out a "Hell Pyre". Vash himself chose "Iron Defense". An odd choice considering his personality, but at least he seemed to be taking this seriously. Rose herself, clutched at the bow in her hand, trying to decide her options.


She could attack like Milia or Mel. Or she could heal Morgana. After all the woman had lost nearly half her hp. It was at this time that the party got a text message from Kylier. What?! There was no time for this! Still she decided to quickly skim the contents of the message anyway. What? What?! What?!!! Really? They were stuck? And could die? Rose couldn't even think straight enough to process what she had just read. She only knew a few things. One, they were infected. Two, they shouldn't die. And three, to exit the game, they'd probably have to finish the game.


For now, she decided to attack Reeza with "Prism Stars". Morgana still had over half her hp left, so she could probably survive one more attack before she definitely needed to be healed.


~~~~~


Mel

After launching her own attack, Mel tok a brief second to glance at her team. Morgana was stunned but the others seemed to be attacking decently. All except Vize who just stood there like a ******* deer in the headlights. *****.


Still keeping an eye on Reeza, she made her way to the harpy. "What are you doing?" she said. "Start fighting already. You want to save that green haired brat, right? Or at least live through this? You need to ******** fight." At this point, Mel was glaring at Vize. "Get your act together or I will pluck each of your feathers off and roast you like the ******* chicken you are."

The heated gust that was Mel's attack slammed against Reeza as it burst upon her. However, she didn't seem to take notice that she had even attacked her, and didn't appear to feel it all that much since she resisted the element... regardless, it failed to topple her.


Reeza took 100 damage increasing her rage by 2%. Reeza is starting to feel strange (5% -> 6%)


She was rapidly pelted by Rose's attack over and over again, and turned toward her with a furious grin, but returned to focus only on Morgana.


Reeza took 700 damage increasing her rage by 8%. Reeza is starting to feel strange (6% -> 13%)


Morgana had recovered from Reeza's previous attack in order to go on the offensive once more


"Dark Binding"


Morgana launched an attack dark that was somewhat on the slower side, but Reeza didn't so much as bother to even dodge her attack aimed at her. It washed all over her as the magic rooted her to the ground, preventing her from moving.


Reeza took 600 damage increasing her rage by 5%. Reeza is starting to feel strange (13% -> 18%)


"You think this is gonna slow me down!?"


Reeza strained herself as she yelled out at her.


Reeza's Tenacity ability activated, and used 10% fury to nullify her spell's effects, and smirked at Morgana with a bloodlust in her grin


"Now die! Black Cleaver!"


Reeza's weapon shone as she swung it at Morgana with the full extent of her force, and slashed deeply into Morgana's side, deeply wounding her with the weapon and bloodying her side... Decreasing Morgana's defense.


"Ugh... No..."


Morgana took 2400 damage from the attack (900/6000) and increased Reeza's rage by 5%


"Wah! Ok ok, I'll fight... I don't wanna get turned into a thanksgiving meal though... by you or her..."


Vize's Tension was raised to low tension, improving her stats.


"Paralysis Wings..."


Vize's wings began to glow yellow as she prepped herself to cause paralysis in her attacks.


"Morgana, I got you don't worry you, Binding Bolt"


Reeza took 700 damage, plus an additional 250 with her armor's additional attackers increasing her rage by 8%. Reeza is starting to feel strange (18% -> 25%)


Milia had shot Reeza with a armor of light which chained binding rings of light energy to appear around Reeza, however, she burst them rather quickly thanks to her ability of Tenacity. It decreased her rage by 10% yet again. She stomped down hard on the ground with her foot, cracking the ground, letting streams of yellow and red light through... the ground seems weak, and to be floating atop the magma of this volcano

Rose

This was going sort of well, Rose thought. They took a sizable chunk of Reeza's hp and she was a quarter of the way to a protect break. But they still needed to be careful, especially since the woman's attacks were capable of knocking off huge amounts of life. Luckily, it seemed Morgana had a lot more of it than any of the students, but it still looked like it would only take a few hits to deplete its entirety.


Rose's eyes widened as their surroundings shifted. This did not look good. Any heavy movements could disturb the platform enough to cause the magma to flow over. They'd certainly need to watch for that.


But for now, Rose needed to focus on Morgana. She didn't look like she could stand another hit from Reeza and they really couldn't stand to lose team members right now. "Diarama."


Behind her, she could hear Mel cast "Ap Anid" on her scepter as Vash charged forward to attack with "Tiger Dance".

Scanning...


Vash combatively danced around Reeza, cutting into her several time, enraging her greatly for an additional 20% [43% -> 63% Rage] and dealing 1230 damage(25% -> 40% Protect Break)


Reeza's Rage has gone above 50% and has activated additional abilities


Reeza is passively generating rage, and accumulates more now.


Rose healed Morgana for 1800 HP (2700/6000)


Reeza noticed Rose healing Morgana, and gained additional rage by 15% [63% -> 78%] and looked at her


"You think I like fighting that *****?! I hate her, the very sight of her makes me sick, and cutting her up isn't going to change anything besides making her get what she deserves, your mine."


Reeza spent 25% [78% -> 53%] rage to gain a second attack per turn from now own


"Collosio World!"


A energy of death emanated from Reeza, and radiated the entire battle field. All healing, and restoreative effects have been decreased.


She went to target Rose, but Vash was in the way.


"Get outta my way!"


She swung her massive weapon to cut a path through Vash, but as she made contact, she weapon bounced off his skin, causing her to reel back from the recoiling impact, but still caused 600 damage to Vash (3900/4500) Increasing her rage by 9% [53% -> 62%]


She reeled back toward the edge of the ground, nothing behind he but lava.


Reeza isn't being affected by her very close proximity to lava


"Don't think you got me backed into a corner here, unlike you all, I can make full use of this battleground."





"Sunburst"


Milia shot out a gleeming arrow that slowed down as it came toward Reeza, and the her drone blasted the arrow, causing an intense light in front of Reeza that blazed over her.


Reeza was Critically struck for 1900 Damage, increasing her rage by 24% [62% -> 86%] (40% - 56%)


Reeza summoned her Heat Aura, creating a sphere of red energy around her, causing her physical stats to increase greatly, and attacks now deal additional fire damage. Her ability, Aura Mastery, allowing her to do so without using a turn. Enemies near Reeza will now take damage do to the immense heat around Reeza.


Reeza's Weaknesses, Resistances, and Immunities have changed


Reeza's Retaliate Ability Activated


"Counter: Spit Fire"


Reeza shot out various fiery bullets out her hand at Milia, beating her with small embers several times dealing 1100 damage to her (2200/3200)


"Agh..."





"Black Shield"


A large barrier appeared around Vash, encircling him entirely, and shrunk down like shrink wrap to fit perfectly to his body, looking like he had a soft purple outline around him, granting him protection from only magic damage until destroyed. Barrier HP: (1500/1500)


"... Feather Vulcan"


Vize shot out various feather at a high speed at Reeza, cutting and stabbing her with her feather bullets as they came on at her.


The attack Critically struck her for 1200 damage, increasing her rage by 14% [86% -> 100%] (56% -> 63%) and knocking her off the ledge and into the lava... she sunk down into it...


Reeza is now Paralyzed


Some time had passed, then Reeza resurfaced out of the lava, and used it as a foothold to stand upon it. The lava is in directly upon her skin, but its almost like, the lava is like water on her, and as such, the lava simply flowed off of her.


Reeza is now immune to disabling status effects.


The paralysis status on Reeza appears to be having No Effect on her.


Reeza has gone above 90% Rage, and is now able to use Arcane Artes


"You made a mistake to fight me, and now you're all gonna pay."


Reeza is preparing to use an Arcane Arte


"This isn't good... she may be trying to ready herself to attempt to take us all down in one fell swoop... brace yourselves"


Mel and Vash can sense the Aberrant Approaching the area

Rose

This was not good. This was not good. This was not good.


Vash and the rest had managed to do a considerable amount of damage, however, all it really did was increase Reeza's rage to max. Now Rose, who never really play many videogames, or any really, growing up, so she didn't know exactly what it meant. But it was sort of obvious that it was something bad. Rage was always something bad. Morgana's warning only served to confirm what she had thought.


She began to panic. What? Take them all out in one swoop? Reeza would do that?! What?!


Deep breaths, Rose, she thought to herself. She needed to be calm. She had learned when she was young that she simply did not have the requirements to be a berserker, so staying calm was crucial for her when fighting. And for a while, she was calm. That is until she heard Mel mutter something.


"The Aberrant's coming. Vash, we need to hurry this up." Vash gave a half-assed salute before going into another "Tiger Dance". Mel, instead, decided to cast "Ap Corva" on Morgana.


Okay, Rose was not calm now. What in the world was going on with today? Was she just cursed with bad luck? A flaming woman scorned in front of them and some static virus homing in on them. Oh God. What were they going to do? What were they going to do? Okay, calm down! Her first priority would most likely have to be healing. Even if it was weaker, it would be best to keep their hp up as best they could. "Media."

Rose's Magic healing everyone for a decreased amount of 300 hp.


Morgana: (3000/6000) Vash: (4200/4500) Milia: (2400/3200)


Vash's was undamaged by Reeza's Heat Aura, as the barrier absorbed the damage, taking 500 damage


Black Shield: (1000/1500)


Vash cut into Reeza many more times, damaging her for 1230 damage (63% -> 73%)


Reeza is charging up for her Arcane Arte, using up a turn.


Mel and Vash could detect an outside influence forcing its energy into Reeza


Reeza finished charging up.


"Inner flames, guide my wrath into a form that will rend the very souls of the enemies before me."


A massive Spell Circle appeared around Reeza.


"Cull the death that invoked this land, and give rise to true strength."


Reeza jumped backwards high into the air over the lava.


"Brynhildr!"


Reeza sank deep into the lava quickly, and the area rumbled from deep under their feet from what felt like tremors. After some time, the magma erupted upwards, and out exploded a Giant Wyvern.


Mel and Vash could sense that that Wyvern is Reeza.


She had to be at no less than 20 feet tall, and is incredibly long and wide. She appeared to be standing on two legs, and has has wings that replace her arms. She is colorized mostly in red scales, with some black lining her tips and spikes on her. She has a rather long tail which appears to be help give her balance for the way she now stands.


Reeza lost various skills and abilities, and now has new ones. Reeza's Stats have very significantly increased


Reeza roared out toward the group in a very monstrous manner. The shock wave of the yell knocked Vash away back toward the others, and was incredibly loud that it felt necessary to cover their ears to avoid hearing loss or damage.


"This is bad... I can not see how this encounter will end for us..."


Mel and Vash could sense that the Aberrant has arrived. Toward one exit on the far side of the area, came that familiar shadowy figured that they had fought earlier.


The Aberrant is now being affected by Rose's presence


The appearance of the Aberrant appeared to gain Reeza's immediate attention, and roared at it and immediately charged it. Reeza chomped down on it as an attack, taking it completely by surprise as it took it in her mouth, and dealt @#!!#(@%) Damage. (0% -> 100%)


Reeza is now ignoring Mel's group, and is not making any attempts to dodge their attacks that they may make.


The force of the attack was incredibly powerful, and caused Protect Break status on the Aberrant


"Perhaps if you remove the source of her corruption, the corruption upon her will fade as well..."


"Dark Pulse"


Morgana focused her energy, and gathered it into a continuous dark beam that blasted Reeza several times, dealing 200 Damage, despite her buff from Mel. Reeza didn't notice the attack. (73% -> 74%)


"... I don't know if I should really attack... I mean... if the Aberrant has her attention... would we really want her to go back to targeting us...?"


"Command: Defense"


Milia's armor and orbiters shifted positions around her, 1 being placed above, below, to the left, to the right, in front, and behind her. Milia's abilities have changed.


"... Er... Feather Vulcan"


Vize shot out various feathers at Reeza to try to damage her, but the feathers were simply deflected off of her like they were nothing.


"It didn't work? What do we do!?"

 

[amdreams]

Rose

Rose wasn't quite so sure what had happened exactly. Everything was happening so fast. Reeza's transformation. The Aberrant showing up. It was a lot to take in. Reeza had apparently fallen into the lavaa but was perfectly fine apparently. And now she was a wyvern? And her hp somehow doubled? And their attacks weren't even grazing her anymore? And the Aberrant arrived only to steal Reeza's attention from them? What in the world was going on? They went from preparing for the worst to becoming the third wheel! Her mind was in a complete mess.


And yet when Morgana hinted toward attacking the Aberrant, she didn't need to be told twice. She understood that at least. Rose immediately fired a "Data Drain" its way. Mel and Vash seemed to follow her lead with a "PhyAni Zot" and "Spark Wave" respectively.

???, ???, Brynhildr, Scanning...


As Rose performed Data Drain on the enemy, is began spazzing out, and reacting violently, forcing Reeza to release it from her monstrous teeth spearing all over.


Rose's Infection Increased (11% -> 13%).


The data removed was converted into something... Rose obtained 'Virus Core 1'


The Weapon 'Vigor Rapier' was created


The Aberrant began reacting very strangely, as something appeared to be trying to forcefully exit it, and suddenly, shadowy figured exited it, clearing up slightly to reveal the being that seemed to have been trapped in it before.


The new partially shadowy figure began trying to escape, prompting Reeza to go after it


The Aberrant dodged Mel's attack, but ended up being caught by Vash's follow up, volting it several times for 800 damage.


Reeza swung at it with her tail, knocking it all the way to the far side of the room on the other side of the lava lake, knocking it harshly into the wall, causing a massive crater in the wall to form...


Reeza proceeded to follow up on the attack, and flew using her new form's wings, and rammed the hell out of the wall that the new being was lodged in, breaking through the volcano's walls to the outside surprisingly enough.


The being began running away from Reeza as she gave chase, getting farther and farther away from the party.


Reeza and the shadowy being exited the battle... Collosio World's effect ended...


"She's gone... really..."


"We will need to give chase... or our work this far against her will be for naught"


The Abberant recovered from the viscous attacks that everyone had imposed it.


The Abberant is targeting the party.


A window appeared to indicate it using a skill, and read "Xith's Dimension"


The entire battlefield shifted in a massive rumble, and altered in look entirely, and suddenly... everything went dark... nothing to see anywhere... by the time sight was restored... the entire area was unrecognizable. They were all situated on a large floating circular platform of what appeared to be tainted ground that had an amalgamation of gradient colors that slowly shifted from one to the next. The surrounding area was other platforms and ruins that were way to far to reach. The sky appeared to look like some sort of dark distorted aurora... This entire area held a bad vibe toward group...


Escape is currently impossible...


Another window appeared to show it using a skill a skill "!@(&!#@)"


The Aberrant shifted violently in form, as it grew much taller all of a sudden, and bigger, and had a sort of structural build similar to Shift. Instead it's form became discernible. It looked blackish and metallic in nature, and its wicked form was rather daunting... it is wielding a scythe that has a completely segmented blade that somehow acts as if there were no gaps in it... you get the sense that this fight won't be like the one last time...

Aberrant (2nd)

​

"Waa... what is that....?"


"Doesn't matter, its vulnerable!"


"Sunburst!"


Reeza shot a shining arrow at it, just as she had done to Reeza, however just as she shot the arrow to cause the explosion, it had evaded it...


"Dark Pulse"


Morgana shot out a torrent of darkness at the enemy which was boosted still thanks to Mel, causing it to take 1400 damage.


"Steel Wings"


Vize shifted he wings to glow a dark silver, increasing her offense and defense, but removing her status inducing attacks,

Rose

As Rose fired the data drain, the same thing that had happened with the irst Aberrant happened again. Some indistinguishable form was ejected from the host and flew off somewhere, luring Reeza off with them, a rather bittersweet result. On the one hand, the party didn't need to deal with her anymore, but now they couldn't use the data drain on her, which was sort of the only reason they were doing this in the first place.


However, they couldn't think too hard on that now. Despite the need to follow Reeza, they now had the Aberrant to deal with. Not that they really had any choice. With some odd skill, the Aberrant had transportes them, or appeared to transport them, to a new location. Platforms all around, severely limiting their movements and to make matters worse, it seemed like they could not escape. At least not without first dealing with the Aberrant.


Mel seemed to understand this, casting "Enhanced Scan" on the thing. Vash, for a moment, also seemed to understand as he charged forward, screaming, "Rend!" Though the wide grin on his face made it seem like he didn't fully understand the severity of their situation. Of course, with him, she could never tell. He seemed like a complete airhead but he must've had some smarts to survive this long under Mel.


Her opinions of others aside, Rose needed to focus on the battle as well, firing off a "Holy Lance" attack on the Aberrant.

Vash had stabbed the thing, causing 550 damage, but the thing didn't seem to bleed, nor was capable of it.


Rose's lances ripped on through the Aberrant, dealing 700 damage, but doesn't appear to be weak to Holy anymore...


The tall being directed itself toward Vash, being the closest to to. And a window appeared once more to indicate a skill 'Death Mark'.


A large X appeared upon Vash, seemingly marking him for death. It made him feel vulnerable.


The Aberrant cut into Vash with its scythe, knocking him away from the force of the impact, causing him 1200 damage (3000/4500), and healing it for 600


It appears to be healing off of damage it deals


"Silver Barrage"


As Milia pulled back on her bow, and caused a small energy based arrow to appear on the bow armed, so did another... and many more as at least 20 others rapidly appeared, and began firing a non stop stream of small arrows. It struck the Aberrant for 800 Damage.


"Black Shield"


Morgana refreshed the barrier on Vash, causing it to strengthen somewhat


"Feather Vulcan"


The steel-like feathers shot out of Vize, penetrating the enemy as feathers stuck into it. Causing it 950 Damage.


A window came up for it '2'

 

[amdreams]

Rose

For the first time in a while, Rose felt pretty calm. Things were not great. It didn't seem like the Aberrant was weak to her holy attacks anymore. But they were certainly better than when they were fighting off against Reeza. For one, no one was in danger of dying at the moment. And the Aberrants attacks were incredibly weaker than Reeza's.


Still, they'd have to be wary of the skill it just used against Vash, who was already fussing over how he couldn't erase the x from his chest, saying it looked incredibly lame. But other than that, it didn't seem like Vash actually understood what it was. Because just as Mel seemed to be telling him to stay back, the idiot rushed off and slashed at the Aberrant again with his claws. Mel had a strong look of annoyance on her face but eventually sighed and followed up with "Spirit Flail".


Rose decided to cast "Media", hoping she could raise everyone's hp to an even safer point for now.
