Murderous Pirouette: Strike the enemy over and over again. Highly effective on low defense enemies


Vash's slashes dealt 600 damage to it


Mel whipped the scepter at the enemy, causing the the spiked jewel on the weapon to fly out, at the enemy, and it seemed to be attached to a metal wire. The attack flanked the Aberrant with its attacks all around it, dealing 650 damage to it.


Rose's healing light was strengthen to its full extend now that Collosio World's effect was gone, healing everyone for 900 hp.


"Thanks Princess"


The Aberrant came up toward Vash where he had knocked him away from and a skill window came up, stating 'Murderous Pirouette' and brandished its scythe against him, skillfully spinning in a way to strike him over and over again relentlessly, then launching him up into the air, and striking him down hard onto the ground, Critically Striking Vash for 1460 damage, and healed it for 730.


The Aberrant then floated upward, and came back down, striking the ground with tremendous force, creating a shock wave that struck everywhere at once, hitting everyone


Rose took 650 damage, Mel took 800 damage, Vash took 900 damage and healed it for 450, Vize took 243 damage, Morgana took 700 damage.


Milia's Auto Barrier activated in response to the attack, making it form the omni-directional barrier around her, completely nullifying the attack on her.


The attack hitting everywhere, managed to strike the drone in front that was generating the barrier, disabling it, and partially downing her barrier, and leaving her with only 5 Drones left out of 6


"What? I didn't think that'd hit it..."


"Aurora Beam"


Milia's Drones came together to generate a rainbow stream of cold light, and aimed it at the enemy, however, it aimed its weapon at the beam, absorbing the attack and nullifying the attack all together.


"Ah! You...!"


Milia's frustration was obvious but kept her cool


"Acid Rain"


Morgana conjured a darkness that flew above them, and poured onto the enemy, corroding it for 550 damage, but failed to decrease its defense.


"Feather Vulcan"


Vize shot her steel-like feathers out at the enemy however, it turned toward her, and spun its weapon rapidly, to try to deflect her feathers, but were far to fast regardless, and hit it for 930 damage, the metal feathers sticking in it.


"Ha, I'm way to fast for ya"


A window came up for it, stating '1'

Rose

Rose let out a small scream as the Aberrant's attack hit her. Man, that hurt. Luckily, she didn't take too much damage, but they needed to act fast. The Aberrant was down to a little over 3000 hp, they needed to attack it now. Well, except for Rose. She had something else to focus on. Though the Aberrant had struck nearly all of them, Vash had taken a particularly brutal being, now on his last couple hundred hp. She immediately cast "Diarama" on him, hoping it'd take him out of the red for now.


Vash, after being healed, seemed to be uncharacteristically angry at the Aberrant, immediately going in for a "Tiger Dance". Idiot. Why was he charging to the frontlines, knowing full well that any damage against him would only fire back at the boy?


Mel meanwhile seemed away of her somewhat low amount of hp, deciding to stand on the sidelines and casting "PhyAni Zot".

Vash was healed for 2000 HP by Rose


The Aberrant blocked all of Vash's attempts to strike it with its weapon, moving nothing more than its arm and weapon, and remained firmly planted despite attacking all around it.


"Vash stop! You're putting yourself in to much of harms way!"


As it turn its attention toward Mel, seemingly sensing her attack, intercepted her magic with his scythe, causing her attack to split in various directions, sparing the Aberrant.


A skill window popped up for it stating 'Dark Void'. A chaotic energy surrounded Vash in a similar manner to Rose's Photon skill, completely encircling him, and attempted to crush him, only to be cut short of Morgana's Black Shield, it absorbing 1700 damage, and healing it for 850. The additonal effect of the magic was blocked due to Black Shield rending Vash currently immune and unafflictable by disables it attempted to invoke on him.


The Aberrant raised its scythe again, to attack Vash with it, knocking him away from itself, dealing 1200 damage, and healing it for 600.


"Damn it, leave him alone!"


"Binding Arrow"


Milia tried once again to stop, or at least hinder its assault with her attack, dealing 850 damage to it but failing to pin it in anyway.


"DiAni Zot"


Morgana Siphon the Aberrant's energy, and absorbed the stolen energy, damaging it for 1100, and healing herself for 780.


"Feather Vulcan"


Vize, unwilling to get close to this murderous being, chose the safe tactics of attacking from where she was, since it seemed to be doing well enough, and dealt 1000 damage to it


The window popped up... and stated '0'


Vash's Mark began to glow a vibrant red, and found himself completely paralyzed despite Morgana's shield being on him. The Aberrant held out a hand, and lifted up Vash, without even touching him, and after a bit, clenched its hand hard in an instant, causing the Mark to detonate violently, causing his flesh to rupture in a torrent of blood where the X was on him, Dealing 3230 Damage to Vash, the barrier absorbing the first 300 damage before fading, but even still, overwhelmed Vash, then dropped him, making fall down onto the ground, unconscious...


"Vash...?!"


Vize is borderline freaking out right now, between the Aberrant's frightening form, and Vash falling to this foe.


"He's not dead. If we can prevent him from taking any more damage, we should be able to revive him, but this battle must not continue any longer"

Rose

"******* idiot!"


Rose felt the need to step a bit further from Mel when Vash fell. She seemed . . . frustrated, to say the least. The girl immediately cast "Ap Corva" on Milia. "Annihilate him," she said through gritted teeth. The look in her eyes was at an intensity Rose had never seen before, even in the times Mel had fought her or the time she berated Rose at her birthday party.


Mel's gaze then shot toward Rose, making her jump a bit. "Princess, heal me. If I'm going to kick this thing upside the head, I need to live."


"O-okay," Rose stuttered, a bit, casting "Diarama" on her, a bit afraid of what would happen if she didn't comply.

Milia could feel herself strengthen thanks to Mel. She looked toward her however as she seemed to get very serious, and more agitated about what had happened. She looked at Mel a little confused when she addressed her as Princess also like she had been doing. She decided that questions right now would be better for later though.


Mel's heal maxed out from Rose's Skill.


It's window popped up, showing that it was using 'Death Mark' and targeted Milia, lifting her up by some force, and energy radiating off of her before releasing her, marking her with the X again.


"Ugh... I won't go down..."


It then went toward her to strike her with the scythe, but triggered Auto Barrier, causing the attack to be deflected from the barrier that appeared around her entire front, as a semi-omnidirectional barrier, leaving only her back vulnerable.


"Aurora Beam"


Taking advantage of her magic buff, she again used her frosty rainbow beam at it, striking it severely with her magic. The Aberrant took 1250 Damage.


"Dark Binding"


Morgana launched her rooting magic again at it, attempting to finish it off. The attack had dealt 1400 Damage to it.


"Feather Vulcan"


Vize shot her feathers at it for good measure in case the others had missed, and dealt 1000 damage to it.


The attack forced the enemy down onto a kneel, got up, and roared as it seemingly it's form began to destabilize. It dropped its weapon, which greatly shrunk down in size, and changed its form to something that looks more realistic to how a scythe would be, it placed its hands on its head as it reverted to its previous shadowy form, shrinking in size as well as the entire area began to shake, suddenly dispersing back into the cave where they had fought Reeza before the Aberrant interrupted...


"It's over... we could use the weapon that it had left behind, it doesn't look like it will vanish..."


Before anyone could retrieve the weapon, the Aberrant fell over it, dispersing into the familiar static portal that they had went into before from the first fight. The weapon seemed to have been sucked inside of it, and could see the shadow of the weapon's figure in there.


"... You were able to go in and out last time, perhaps you will be able to go in this time, and retrieve it before you are sent out perhaps..."


"I guess it couldn't hurt, more weapons means more tactics I guess... I still don't know... wait where's Reeza!?"


"..."


Morgana attempted to sense her presence anywhere... but failed, and the same would be true for Mel, and Vash once he wakes up, in his battered condition.


"She's gone... she must be far away from us by now... wherever she is, there would be no way to catch up to her, although Vize probably could, even if we could track her and keep up with Vize..."


"I'm not going after her alone... she'll eat me! Once she manages to catch me... if we fight..."


Morgana looked around for a bit, before turning to the group again.


"I doubt she will come back here... there is little point in being here for now, if you are going to go for the weapon and all that it has to offer, Milia and I will wait here for your safe return. Otherwise, we are to go back to Tartarus."


Vash gained 1 HP, and can easily be woken up by this point.


"Vash seems to be recovering now, he's out danger for the time being..."

Mel

As the Aberrant fell, defeated, Mel only grew more frustrated. The mechanics of this game didn't make the fighting real at all to her. The pain was there of course, but she wasn't able to unleash an all out assault on these guys. Using skills that weren't her magic or fighting style. Using a weapon she was unaccustomed to. Nothing felt right. None of this was satisfying enough to quell her anger. She wanted to see the Aberrant get ripped apart piece by piece. To scrape his body off of his bones by gnawing diseased rats. But what did they get? The thing passing out and turning into a portal. A ************* portal.


Mel thought about going through the portal. There wasnt really any need, but she supposed getting the scythe may be worthwhile. But before she could make up her mind, she heard Vash wake up. Still groggy, the first thing she did was rush over to the boy and slap him hard across the face.


"You ******* idiot! Who the bloody ******* hell told you that you could go attack the thing like that?! You need to listen to me, got it!" Mel kept slapping him, coupling it with a rather extensive list of profanities. Finally, she ended it with, "You stay the **** here while the rest of us get the stupid gardening tool. That's an order! Okay?!"


Vash pouted but nodded meekly. After that, Mel's expression softened a little. "Just get better, okay? I don't need you holding us back." And with that, Mel made her way to the portal, but not before grabbing both Rose and Vize, throwing them in before her.
 
"Weh! Let me go!"


Vize flapped around, not really succeeding in doing anything related to breaking out of her grasp, and was tossed in


"... It shouldn't be long..."


Morgana looked at the hole that Reeza had made...


"..."


Milia went up toward Vash to crotch down beside him


"... Mel really cares about you a lot... doesn't she Vash..."


She waited a few minutes after what talking to Vash and listening to his response and looked rather serious, or focused as she began to talk to Vash again.


"Hey Vash? Can I ask you something? I... would like an honest answer from you...... what is this place to you, not just where we are now... but where 'we' all are...?"


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


Milia got up annoyed at Morgana and looked at her


"Don't what?! No ones appeared in this damned world for over a year, and they suddenly show up out of nowhere. You already know what that means for them and us right??"


"Milia..... Please..."


"... It's not fair... Why did this happen..."


~~~~~


Upon entering the portal, again, everything was static around them, causing them to faint as all of their senses became overwhelmed. When they woke up, they found themselves in what appeared to be some sort of junkyard wasteland, the scythe that was once the Aberrant's is now embedded in the dirt, but looks like it could easily be pulled out.


Off in the distance there seemed to be a bloodied kid version of Azure face down on the ground, being in a slight puddle of his own blood struggling to move, only able to lift his head up to see what was going on in the distance, which appeared that there were others, that didn't appear like static people like last time, but this time had only their faces full of static... all except for what appeared to be a kid version of Kylier, easily identifiable by that long pink hair of hers. One of the people appears to be a guy that has been impaled against the rubble of a wall, dead, another who was a woman who had the marks on her that Rose would of recognized from the last static zone, and two other adult like figures, that were mostly static all over.


The marked woman appeared to be held by the her neck off the ground in a painful, but not quite strangling manner.


"Why are you doing this?! Why won't you just leave us alone!"


"You know that I can't do that, not after you took such a useful magical weapon from us, especially since its curse is on you now. From the looks of it, your time is about up. All you had to do was obey, and your life would of been one where you only had to do as you were told, and could live life of care, but now you'll be another one to... 'feed the beast'."


The marks on the woman began to glow a vibrant red, with her starting to vigorously struggle in his grasp as to turned more toward red.


"I'm sorry, does this hurt? Well, I guess that's just what you get as your reward for your actions. You do know what happens next do you?"


He dropped the woman onto her feet, and she held her body, shaking violently as if she were cold or in pain. After a bit, the red marks expand over the woman's entire being, until she was nothing more than an undisernable vibrant mass of red, that appeared to explode, and then implode onto the weapon, seemingly absorbing all that the woman once was, leaving no trace of her behind, not even the clothing she wore.


"A pity, a bunch of wasted test subjects."


The kiddie Kylier looked around a bit, only to spot Azure, and went over toward him


"Don't wonder to far off now Kylier, we'll be leaving soon enough."


"I won't, I'll be quick."


She turned toward Azure, kneeling down. He seemed to be saying Mom, and Dad over and over tearfully before Kylier came up to him


"Mom, Dad, I found someone here, its a kid, he kept saying mom and dad."


The two adults went on over toward where Kylier was, and they all lorded over Azure


"I don't recall them ever having a child..."


"Can we keep him? I'll look after him and be good, I promise!"


"... you don't have to worry about that... Alright? We will be the ones to take care of that."


After that, and getting the scythe, the area seemed to vanish quickly, taking them all out of the area.


~~~~~


Madred's Wrath was Obtained


They soon found themselves waking up back where the portal once was, with the scythe in hand, with Vash, and Morgana waiting nearby, and Milia sitting crouched away from the other two, seemingly in a bad mood. Vash appeared to have recovered during their time 'away' at least enough to be up and move about


"They're back now... and I see you have the scythe as well..."


She got up and went toward them.


"Now that you are back, I would like to teach you all a skill. It should be useful if should I be unable to transport us anymore for any given reason, I am sure you all favor instant transportation than walking back and forth..."


Everyone learned the skill 'Traport'


"The easiest way to use this magic, is to visualize your destination, and throughly feel it, to teleport yourselves there. You will of had to be there at least once as a whole group for it to work..."


"Now that that is done, there is little reason to stay here any longer, the best course of action for now would be to head back and try to assist the others, and request their assistance. I am sure you would prefer that over attempting to chase down Reeza... I don't believe we will see her again, but it is still possible to get to Azure without her assistance regardless, if all ends up working well in our favor hopefully. I leave it to you to decide what we do next."


"..."


Milia got up, and went toward the others just waiting in what appeared to be a mixture of emotions, and not doing much...


"Whatever... lets just do something..."

Vash

"Well, duh," Vash answered immediately. He stared at Milia with a straight face. "We're friends so of course we care about each other." He then turned his gaze toward the portal, a wide grin on his face. "She gives me snack money. If she didn't care, would she do that? I mean, all those cream puffs, man. No one who provides chocolate or cream puffs can be bad."


Milia then turned the conversation in another direction, asking Vash what he thought all this was. He seemed to think a bit before cocking his head to the side. "Aren't you guys like computer programs or something? This is a videogame, right? That's what Pedo Kiki said. You're like some game inside Azure's head and we need to finish the game to get Azure out of his coma."


~~~~~


Rose

This trip throught he portal happened just like the last. The static. The passing out. The odd visions of a smaller Azure, though this time there was a small Kylier as well. And just like last time, she was . . . unsure of what she was seeing. A couple adults supposedly stole something from the static figures and they weren't happy to say the least. The figures then mentioned something about a curse? A beast? As the woman with the markings imploded, Rose fought a sudden urge to cry out, covering her mouth with her hands. Her knees nearly gave out beneath her.


The feeling only worsened when she noticed the knife. Azure's knife. Laying where the woman had just been moments earlier. She didn't want to see more. Luckily, it ended soon. With the same pattern of static and passing out, only to wake up outside again.


Rose found herself shaking a bit. Hugging herself, she muttered, "Why do we keep seeing them? Those . . . "


"Memories," Mel interrupted. "From the looks of things, we're witnessing Azure's memories."


"W-what? How can you be sure?"


"Think about it. These static portals aren't part of the game since Milia and Morgana can't get near them. And both featured a little Mosshead? That can't be a coincidence and even if it was, there is no way that these are just 'cutscenes' from this world. What we saw doesn't line up with what we know of what happened here from Big Red's tantrum a while back. And so if it doesn't come from the game, there is only one other source, right?"


Rose stood there, paralyzed. Azure's memories? So what she saw actually happened to him? Then was that woman . . . Was she his m- "Well, let's just move onto the next area then." Rose wasn't sure why but something about that statement made her snap. She grabbed the collar of Mel's shirt, pulling her back to look her in the eye.


"Why are you so . . . so calm? Didn't you see what happened there?! Don't you feel bad for Azure?!"


"No, I don't," Mel said. "Whatever happened to him in the past is none of my business, and I honestly don't ******* care. So what if he didn't have the easiest childhood. In case you didn't notice, Princess, very few of us ******* do, especially us humans." At this statement, Rose gripped her shirt tighter, pulling the fabric enough so that she could see a faint scar peeking up over the girl's shoulder. Or at least before Mel shoved her away, making her fall on the ground. Mel then adjusted her shirt while glaring down at Rose. "And don't ever touch me again."


Leaving Rose stunned, Mel advanced toward the group, more than ready to move on. Rose followed sluggishly, a bit more on her mind than she would like.


Once everyone was together, they were teleported back to the main room to choose a new door. This time, the door chosen had a water elemental symbol.
 
Milia somberly smiled at Vash as he talked about his life


"... Must be nice Vash... buying things for each other, and eating whatever you want..."


"..."


Milia frowned at what he had said there


"Computer Programs in a game huh..."


"..."


Milia looked at the portal, seeing that they had not come out yet...


"So that's what you were told... and that doing that would be you and your' Azure's way out of a coma right...? But who do you mean by..."


At that time, the others would have come out of the portal, with it disappearing


"Milia..."


"I know... about what Havoc said regarding that..."


She looked back toward Vash


"Ya... you guessed us right Vash... we're just programs in a game."


She got up and went on toward the others, waiting for them to wake up


Morgana and Milia waited around, not interrupting the two as they talked it over about what had went on in there, not adding anything to their argument or anything. Once they were done and headed back into Tartarus, Morgana approved of the choice they had made.


"If we were to run into Reeza again by chance, going here should help prepare us for such an encounter."


A message was recieved from Kylier to the group It reads...


'Is Vash alright? His readings spiked dramatically before flat-lining on this side. The life support functions sustained his body until he seemed to recover on his own. Considering being more careful during whatever fights you may be going under, for unknown reasons, I am losing connection to you seemingly randomly, and become unable to see nor hear what it is you are doing at times. If Vash is acting out in a reckless manner, I implore you to have him restrain himself however you will.'

Flooded Forest: Valdis Woods

​

[/media]
The forest you are in now looks similar to the one you had passed through to reach Tartarus by foot, except this area seems rather vibrant in energy, water energy, and life, and there is a light precipitation coming down from the clouded sky. Peaceful small animals could be seen going about their own business in this land occasionally. The land certainly looks soaked, but feels clean, a nice refresher from the acid ruined land they had just came from earlier. The only thing that appears out of place, would be what appears to be somewhat sizable craters in the ground that appeared to have been made from explosive impacts, and a Massive circle of combat flooring, which matches the design and color of Tartarus's design. Mel would recognize in addition that Azure likely had made this as she may have gathered from the ruined city in the aftermath of what he had been fighting.


Mel and Vash could sense the Aberrant far away, as well as another rather powerful being, which if the last area was any indication, is likely who they are looking for now. The Aberrant seems to be rather close to the other being, but they don't appear to be close enough for them to be fighting. Regardless it feels as though the Aberrant is fighting against something, despite it not being the powerful energy signature but what...


"Man... it never stops raining here, but I guess its better than where we were before."


Milia used her drones to create a small barrier, splitting up her so that 1 of each would be above everyone's head, to help keep them from getting wet from the rain, unless of course they wanted to get wet.


Morgana turned back toward the group


"You could say that the Decayed Forest, where we had first met, is the unnatural and twisted form of where we are now. This area seemed to have recovered rather well. Nature has reclaimed and reformed this once tormented area now that the devastation infecting this land has receded. Tarve must have worked hard to oversee its healthy progress, even if it has still more to recover."


"I'd be nice if it would just hurry up and fix the whole forest, that large part of it that still kinda deadish and the feeling there just makes me feel a little sick there..."


"I'm sure that you are aware that nature will always grow should it not be overwhelmingly suppressed."


"Ya... it'll be nice once its done..."


The group heads off toward the Aberrant and the energy signature. It feels likely that they will meet it before they get to the other person that appears to be here. It feels like it will be quite a while before they arrive at the Aberrant... but will get there soon enough


The Group has leveled up to level 49

Flooded Forest: Ruins of Aer

​



[media]



[/media]
As they made their way through the forest, they eventually came toward what appeared to be a vast array of ruins. Several look completely demolished, with others being discolored from the typical marble color, being blackened, or almost purple, stained on as if small explosions were the cause. Regardless of their state, most of which have plant life growing over it, reclaiming it back into nature. The only one that still seems to be standing would be the biggest in the back, looking surprisingly intact, and untouched by nature's vines and foliage, yet still worn from age and battle.


As you draw closer, it feels as though the Aberrant could not be far away, right inside the main entrance to the ruins showed that the Aberrant was inside, striking away at a massive barrier magical blue barrier that felt highly imbued with water energy. The barrier itself feels impossibly strong, similar to the one that is preventing the group from reaching Azure, and yet, you know that this barrier is only a fraction of the strength as the one in Tartarus


The Aberrant is to preoccupied with striking the barrier over and over, that it has not noticed Mel's group


"Huh... looks like Tarve is managing to hold that thing off. It's really digging into that barrier though, not like it would do any good..."


"...The barrier appears to be weakening..."


"What?! How's that possible??"


"With each strike it gives, it is slowly converting the barrier's energy into its own, using that energy to cause ripples in its defenses... and cause it to eventually dissipate soon enough... however, for as strong as the barrier is still, that path for it to break down the barrier is far off. Regardless, it is fortunate that we came when we did, if left alone long enough... it may have broken the barrier, and attempt to fight Tarve."


"Can't we just knock that thing out though, put it to sleep with a surprise attack, or something so we can just talk to Tarve? That thing is a pain to fight..."


"I can put it to sleep... but... but what if it doesn't work or it wakes up?"


"Hmm... It would probably be best to eliminate them all, to prevent further damage. Regardless, they are coming after us... and it likely seeks to eliminate the light that this place provides to the world, to further let it fall into chaos and darkness..."


"Well... what are we gonna do then, fight it and kill it so it won't bother us, or just try to get past it... I'm sure Tarve'll let us through... maybe..."

Mel

Mel found herself looking around a lot more than she had in any of the other areas. Unlike the other times, she was not merely trying to survey their surroundings. She was also sightseeing, sort of. Maybe it was all the water energy. Mel liked water. It was soothing to her. Even with the obvious signs of combat and the presense of an Aberrant in the area, she felt an odd peace.


As they made their way deeper into the water area, Mel stepped out from under Milia's makeshift umbrellas. Partially because she wanted to drown out Morgana's little lecture and partially because she just liked the rain. Unfortunately, her brief moment of almost relaxation came to a halt once the Aberrant came into view.


From what Milia and Morgana were saying, Mel could infer a few things. First of all, the Aberrant was distracted . . . by a wall. And second, the wall wasn't going to hold forever. They now had a few choices. They could try to fight the thing right now, or they could try to avoid it now.


Rose seemed to want to fight it now so they didn't have to deal with it later. But Mel felt diferently. These things are incredibly stronger than they were, at least individually, if the previous fight had been any indication. And Mel wasn't going to risk Vash's life again, or her own. There was another energy source after all, a Tarve if Milia and Morgana were right. They should probably go toward him. It was a stretch, especially if he was anything like Reeza, but if they could find a way to recruit him before facing the Aberrant, then it could improve their odds, even if by a tiny bit.


"I think we should go try to find this 'Tarve' first. Have you guys forgotten how that last battle went? The Aberrant was taking chunks out of our hp like it was nothing. And though it was mainly his fault, Vash nearly died. If we were to fight this one, how can you be sure it won't end up the same way? We don't have to fight this thing now, right? Then why not at least attempt to raise our firepower, even if it's just a chance. If this Tarve can erect barriers like this, then even if the Aberrant can eventually break it down, he'd be useful, no?"

"Well... I guess if we have to fight it, you're right about that..."


She turned to Vize


"So that just means that you need to do your stuff then"


"Eh? That's a lot of pressure, you know."


"Come on, just do it, I'll help you then If there's trouble"


She went on behind Vize to take her by both of her wings to bring her on forward toward the Aberrant as she tried to struggle frantically.


"OK OK, I'll do it I'll do it, just put me down!"


"... You are both are making a lot of noise... you're lucky it is still somehow oblivious to us Milia..."


Milia put Vize down so that she could prepare herself


"Narcotic Wings..."


Vize's wings shone a dusty blue color, then took aim at the Aberrant, hesitating over how disastrous it may be if she were to miss, spending well over a minute, and hasn't even gotten a shot off yet.


"Come on all ready!"


"AH?!"


Vize shot feathers in a frantic, surprised from Milia, and shot way more than just the 1 that she was planning on shooting for that well aimed single shot submission. By the time it was over... Dozens upon Dozens of feathers littered its backside, and it turned around. It looked like it was readying to attack... but as it took a step forward, it completely collasped onto the ground... asleep


"Good job soldier."


Milia laughed a bit as she went on by it, and walked through the barrier, it seemingly on preventing the Aberrant from going through the magical blue barrier


"...that's not funny..."


"It should stay like that as long as we refrain from attacking it... for now."


Morgana and Vize went on through the barrier as well.


Now on the other side, the group went on deeper into the ruins, eventually came into a massive room. In the far back appeared to be an absolutely massive crystal in the rough. If it were to be broken down into gems that would be fitted into rings, you could probably make hundreds upon hundreds. It has a rather magnificent blue sheen to it as well as it shimmers in the light.


Closer toward the middle appeared to be a guy with blue hair, standing perfectly still with another barrier surrounding him. He appears to have a halberd for a weapon. His clothing covered most of his body, having blue mantle on him on him, with various straps but looks to be as tall as 6'2. He definitely looked more normal, if only because his clothing isn't as showy as everyone else, but even so, you could sense his inner strength. There was a calming feel in the air coming from him.


"Tarve, we're here and we got a question for ya."


As he seemingly woke up, he dropped the barrier around himself as they approach.


"And that would be?"


He looked toward Mel, Rose and Vize for a few seconds before returning to Milia.


"Well, basically, we need to get to Azure, but he has that one barrier up, and something strange has gone wrong, and I guess we are killing the Aberrants"


"I see... I will be there once you've contacted everyone, but I am currently unable to leave as to prevent this areas destruction by the Aberrant. If you aim to defeat the one here, I will join you for now at least so that we may end it."





He seems to be waiting for what you decide.

Mel was . . . a bit underwhelmed by Tarve's appearance. Nothing really seemed special about him. Was this the right guy? But from the way Milia was talking to him, it seemed he was. Really? This guy?


Well, whatever. It seemed he'd help them at least. If they would fight the Aberrant. But they were planning on doing that anyway, so it wasn't exactly an inconvenience on their part. Still, at least this was going their way, if nothing else will. "We'll do it," she said. "Not like we have a choice, right? Now I think we need to get back before the ****** wakes up."

"Alright then... I may have weakened some due to the Aberrant affecting from the barrier, but I should remain potent nether less..."


Tarve joined the party


The group made their way back through where they had come from to see that the Aberrant is still sound asleep... probably from the sheer amount of feathers embedded in it... it is impossible to see any part of him hidden under all the feathers, laying down as it is now...


"I see that you hold nothing back... regardless, we hold the advantage with this preemptive strike. It may take notice if we were to strengthen ourselves in its presence, so I will take the lead strike."


Rose's presence is affecting it.


"Meteor Cleave"


Tarve jumped high into the air, water seemingly bursting from the ground to give him the boost that sent him rather high above the enemy, and went crashing down onto it with the halberd's axe, dealing !@#*!@# Damage to it, dealing more due to a surprise sleep initiation. (0% -> 52%) The force of the smash woke the enemy, but dazing it as well.


"Dark Binding"


Morgana blasted the enemy binding it into the ground, dealing @*!@# Damage (52% -> 62%)


"Command: Flight"


Milia's Orbiters shifted position to behind her, the 6 now functioning as wings for her, and flew up high off the ground, preparing to begin fighting the enemy from above, and rendering her untargetable by close range skills under normal conditions.


"Steel Wings"


Vize buffed herself up for damage and defense considering how things turned out last time


Now that Tarve isn't restraining his energy, he certainly doesn't feel like he's just some guy anymore, compared to the Milia and Morgana, he as of now certainly feels far more powerful.


The enemy recovered from its daze, and struggled to get up, falling back down in its struggle. The enemy managed to get back on its feet


Now that the enemy is up, it definitely feels stronger than the last one


It is unable to use its 3rd turn due to previous Daze Effects.

Aberrant (3rd)

Rose was relieved to see the Aberrant still sleeping. Herself more than ready to fight it when there wasn't a chance of them just dying. Well, almost no chance. Everyone else's attacks seemed to have woken the Aberrant up, though luckily, it still looked like it was in no position to attack quite yet, as evident by its stumbling attempts to stand up.


Mel was the next to act, casting "Enhanced Scan" on the Aberrant. Vash, predictably, used "Iron Defense".


Rose herself was trying to decide what to do. With the Aberrant the way it was, she supposed all she could do was attack and try to deal as much damage as she could. No one needed healing and she didn't exactly have any buffs to use. "Silver Cascade".

Rose's light magic charged the very air inside of the ruins, causing a dense formation of light to appear within the building. From the radiance above, soft bolts of light of coming down, softly bursting onto the ground randomly, allies immune to it, but enemies damaged by it.


It began to act rather strangely, and dropped down onto its hands and knees as a window showed up stating '*!@#%@( !*@#*!' and out from the enemy came in almost a freakish manner of what looking like a cell splitting apart, in a similar way came another Aberrant... the process gave them both over 2/3's of the original strength and capabilities


"What?! That's not right"


You are now fighting 2 Aberrants...


Each Aberrant now has only 2 turns instead of 3


The first Aberrant screeched as it stood back up, and then a window appeared '(@#$%@#$'. Mel suddenly felt a lot of life force leave her body, giving her a weakish feeling. Mel took 950 damage, and healed it for the same amount. Mel has been weakened, decreasing her physical attributes


The second Aberrant ran up toward Tarve to attack him, and managed to get past his guard, dealing 750 damage.


"How troublesome... Milia!"


"Cull( )"


Tarve maneuvered his weapon in a full revolving spin, to strike the enemy, before an incredibly controlled earth elemental powered explosion occured, meant to launch it skyward, however, it evaded the entire attack, dodging back


"Ah... dang..."


"Silver Barrage"


Milia shot wave after wave of arrows at the two Aberrants from above, damaging them both for #*@#) (62% -> 70%)


"PhyAni Zot"


Morgana summoned a ball of dark energy to blast the Aberrant, only to see it evade her attack.


"Feather Vulcan"


Vize shot the enemy several times with her attack to them both, dealing *!@## damage to the first, but critically striking the 2nd one for !&@#!& damage. (70% -> 85%)


Rose's Silver Cascade's raining light bolts are weakly, but continually wearing away at the Aberrants. (85% -> 94%)


Rose's Presence is affecting the Aberrant. (94% -> 99%)


As the Aberrant's gauge maxes out, a barrier slowly becomes visible around it, as if it were always there, before violently shattering like glass and fading away. The Aberrants both appear to have the protect break status, being linked somehow.

Really? 2 of them? That just seemed unfair to Rose. Of course, they were weaker now by a third. But 2/3 + 2/3 still equaled more than 1. One had aready ripped a large chunk of Mel's hp and the other took quite a bite out of Tarve as well. But luckily, it seemed that with Tarve's power they'd be able to defeat these things more quickly than their other battles. After all, it'd only be a little bit before the Aberants would reach Protect Break.


And the second they did reach it, she didn't need to be told what to do next. As soon as the Aberrants gained the Protect Break status, she immediately used "Data Drain". Vash followed with a "Tiger Dance". Mel though stood behind, probably cautious of her hp levels, and decided to instead cast "Ap Corva" on Morgana.

Vash slashed the enemy all around, dealing !*!#@( damage to it. (99% -> 100%) As the Aberrants gauged filled out completely, a barrier appeared around the first Aberrant, quickly coming more and more visible, before violently shattering like glass and fading away...


As Rose performed Data Drain, the 2nd Aberrant seemingly reacted exactly as the first one had, and faded away, restoring the original one's strength to normal.


A screen popped up to indicate its skill 'Xith's Dimension'


The entire area drastically changed back toward the darkly hollow they were forced in when they fought the Aberrant after Reeza. The area's element is now neutral, reducing Tarve's stats back to normal. Morgana's Max HP decrease as Tarve's Max HP decreased. Rose's Silver Cascade Skill was Dispelled.


Another new screen popped up to show it using another skill 'Dark Memorial'


The Aberrant began to swell in size as it used its skill, and held its head as it began to split apart yet again... As it began to finalize, it suddenly split into 3 separate beings... Their bodies began to take various different shapes as if they were their own being, and their shadow multi-shaded skin began to fade to show flesh and clothing as if they were normal people, although the energy feeling was clearly still indicated that they were still the Aberrants...


As the shadow dissolved from their being, all of their forms looked... rather strange...


"...... Long time no see Mel"





"... I'll make this quick..."


"I won't lose!"





As the Shadow cleared away from their bodies partially, they could be seen that they have taken the forms of Azure, Riff, and Bunny. They all appeared to have golden glowing eyes, instead of their usual eye color. Something... Seems off about their personalities, besides the fact that they are all working together.


You are now fighting Aberrant (Azure), Aberrant (Riff), and Aberrant (Bunny). The Trio's Stats have drastically changed. The Area is powering up the Trio. The enemy team's turns have refreshed


"... It doesn't appear to be fooling around anymore..."


"God's Gift"





A whip Materialized for Bunny to Equip. Dual Pistols Materialized for Riff to equip. Twin Tonfa's Materialized for Azure to equip.


"These should level the playing field."


"Ya, this'll help a lot..."


"Don't worry, I got your guy's back anytime"


The group gathered together, smiling happily together, seemingly enjoy each other's company... despite what they are... before turning back to Mel's group, looking serious.


"Now go! Attack!"





Bunny used her 2nd turn to begin flying up into the air to render close combat with physical attacks impossible.


"Freeze Lancer"


Riff used his guns to rapidly shoot ice shards, aiming at everyone on the ground. Rose took 400 damage, Mel took 450 damage, Vash Evaded, Vize Evaded, Morgana Evaded, Tarve Evaded.


"Dekaja"


Azure used mantra magic to attempt to cleanse the party of positive effects. The attack missed Milia due to her airborne condition. The attack managed to remove Vize's Steel Wings Buff, and Morgana's Ap Corva Buff.


"..."


"Hey, where do you think you're going? I'm the one ruling up here. Don't think you can just sit on the side lines just cause you're flying."


Milia flew up close to Bunny to kick her away, only to continue the attack with a standard attack with weak but swift arrows. Bunny took 1100 Damage.


"..."


Morgana found herself in a tight spot considering that they resist all of her attacks, but restraining them would be something she is still capable of doing...


"Dark Binding"


Morgana sent the magic flying at Riff, dealing 300 damage to him.


"... Azure....... no... its just... fakers..."


"Feather Vulcan..."


Vize shot several feathers at Azure, trying to focus him down, dealing 700 damage to him in the process.


"Meteor Cleave..."


Tarve again launched himself high into the air, to once again come down to try to force Bunny back onto the ground, catching her by the shoulder with his halberd, and forced her down all the way to the ground, dealing 1250 damage to her.

What. The ****. Did these ***** just ******* do?


Paying no heed to the other copies, Mel's eyes were on the Riff clone, shooting a glare so intense it almost seemed like she would be able to shoot lasers from her eyes. Her hands clenched in fists so tight, she could almost break skin. How dare they? How dare they desecrate the memory of Riff like this? Was this supposed to be funny?! Was this supposed to be ******* FUNNY?!


"Milia! Do you think you can handle the flying ****?! Just keep her at bay for now. Vize, can you help her? With 3 ******* standing, we can't afford for you to become hesitant even for a second. Rose, heal us for now and then focus all your holy attacks on Riff. And Vash, use your lightning attacks on Riff. Everyone else, focus your attacks on RIff. We need to pick these guys off one by one, not spread our strength. Riff, then Azure and finally ****face."


"B-but," Vash seemed a bit conflicted. "Riff is our frie-" Before he could finish that sentence, Mel had slapped him across the face. "That thing is not Riff. It's a cocky ************ who thinks it's ******* funny to masquerade as the dead. Now if you are truly Riff's friend, then let's murder this sick **** wearing his face like a Halloween mask. How would you feel if they decided to parade around as Maria?"


There was a brief moment of silence before Vash's expression turned dark, immediately sending a "Spark Wave" Riff's way. Rose used "Media" as instructed and Mel, looking back to "Riff" cast "Hell Pyre".

"How decisive, I misjudged you. Very Well."


"Sure"


"O K !"


Tarve was surprised at how Mel coordinated what actions should be done, despite his initial impressions of the 4. Tarve's confidence in the fight increased, raising his tension.


Vash's Magic ensnared Riff as it bolted him several times for a weakness, dealing 980 damage.


Mel's attack burst upon Riff, knocking him back slightly, hitting with a fire weakness, but resisted the physical skill, taking only 760 damage.


Rose's magic maxed out her and Mel's HP


"You shouldn't beat dead horses Mel, he's already loyal to me. Guess I'll have to take out the last one you got. Hope you like what I got in store for you."


"Matarukaja"


The entire enemy teams physical damage stats increased slightly.


"Dia"


Riff was healed for 700


"Aim for Mel, she's the easiest one to take out. Azure, enfeeble her."


Riff and Azure are now focusing on Mel.


"Rakunda"


Azure used mantra magic to decrease Mel's already low defense. Mel's Defense has been decreased.


"Freeze Lancer"


Riff shot a storm of ice bolts at Mel, trying to take her out swiftly, however she managed to evade.


"Hey sweet stuff, shut up. You got me to deal with, so focus on yourself for a change."


"Imprison"


Milia shot out her Drones away from her to around Bunny, trying to capture her inside. However, she dodged, and the effect failed


"Dark Binding"


Morgana attempted again to disable Riff despite her resistances, dealing 300 damage to him. He resisted the attack's additional effect


"Air Blade"


Vize focused for a second, before unleashing a massive laser of wind bigger than herself at Milia, rushing by her, tearing her up as it passed, and dealt 750 damage.


"Cull( )"


Tarve Rushed up to Riff, performing the attack again to try to damage and launch him. Riff managed to evade regardless.

Mel

Mel bit her lip out of frustration. Despite hitting his weaknesses, they weren't doing much damage to Riff at all. Especially with Bunny healing him. A vein nearly popping out of her forehead, she was about to burst until Bunny began speaking. Then, she seemed to calm down. Riff? Loyal to Bunny? Mel chuckled at the very thought. What does someone who lives by her **** know about loyalty?


She thought back to her time with Riff. The first night when she killed his father. The night he was captured to lure her out. The day he had given up his humanity. Every night they had to sleep outside. Every fight that came their way. Every "game" of hide and seek she forced onto him. Riff had many chances to desert her. But never once did he even attempt to. And now, this ***** expected her to believe that Riff was now switching sides. Even if Mel were to believe this "Riff" was the real one, how could such a laughable thing ever happen.


For the first time in a long time, a soft smile formed on Mel's face, though it quickly turned into a confident one. Staring at Bunny, she cast "Ap Vorv" on herself, her eyes, though seemingly calm, appeared to have greater malice in them than before. "I suppose I should thank you for that pathetic excuse for trash talk," she said through her grin. "Now, I can think more calmly."


"Listen up, we're changing tactics. Everyone focus your power on the flying ****. Tarve. Milia. If she starts flying, I need you to swat her down like a fly. Everyone should focus their attention on Azure should she remain airborne. Physical attacks only. If more than 1 person needs healing, Rose and Milia take priority over others. Everyone understand?"


It pained Mel to admit this, but Bunny seemed to be the only one amongst the three to have a brain, barking orders at the others like that. Plus her healing powers needed to be dealt with.


So far, it seemed Vash and Rose were on board at least. Vash rushing toward the angel, using "Tiger Dance" and Rose aiming for a "Pierce Shot".





I'll show you, Mel thought. Even in death, Riff belongs only to me.

The other's acknowledged Mel's change in tactics


Vash got up towards her, tearing into her a few times, dealing 950 damage to her.


Mel's skill nullified the debuff that was on her, but cancelled her buff from as well.


Bunny looked on toward Rose as she shot her arrow, and evaded the initial attack, until Rose's weapon ability hit her with the follow up arrow, dealing 750 damage to her.


"You're really making me mad now! Let's see how you like instant death then."


Bunny flew back up into the sky, trying to get out of everyone's reach.


"Mahama!"


Bunny used devastating exorcism magic to attempt to defeat everyone instantly. Rose, Mel, Milia, and Morgana were immune to it. Vash, Vize, and Tarve managed to resist it.


"Oh!!! Why didn't it work, and why are you immune to it Mel! Riff, set up Azure to defeat Mel"


"Frost Breath"


Riff took in a great breath, and let loose a massive icy wave of air at the group, trying to hinder them all, or at least Mel. Rose took no damage, Mel Evaded, Vash took 425 damage, Vize Evaded, Morgana took 200 damage, Tarve took 100 damage.


"Akasha Arts"


Azure rushed up toward Mel, slashing at her viciously with his bladed Tonfa's, the skill occurring twice due to his Twin Hits ability, doubling the damage on her, dealing 2250 physical damage to her.


"Get Pinned already!"


"Binding Arrow!"


Milia flew above bunny to try to send her back onto the ground, stuck with a powerful arrow, dealing 1100 damage to her. The arrow dug through her shoulder, forcing her out of the sky and all the way into the ground, trapping her there.


"Meteor Cleave"


Tarve launched himself high into the air, bringing the pain as he came down cleaveing her right in the shoulder, dealing 1200 damage to her


"Dark Binding"


Morgana used her magic to hopefully disable bunny, dealing 550 damage to her due to resistances


Bunny was defeated and is starting to black out.


"Riff..... Prepare to use... Arcane Artes... Azure... Revive me..."


Bunny blacked out. Riff's tension increased as Bunny fell. Azure's tension decreased as she fell.


"What do we do? Riff??"


"Do not falter now, we can still win. Forget Bunny, she's done, pinned... She may not be able to fight anymore. Do what you may, but focus on the battle."


Azure's tension normalized with Riff's assistance


"Feather Vulcan"


Vize shot out her feathers again, but Azure evaded.


"I am ready to perform Arcane Artes."





"I wish I didn't lose mine..."





"..."

Mel's body tensed as she recovered from Azure's attack. The pain pretty heavy despite her face not letting anything show. There was still a bit of a stagger in her steps though, as if she was ready to drop at any minute. Luckily, Rose came by with a "Diarama" to heal Mel up a bit. "Thanks," she muttered, still more focused on the battle.


Bunny was out of the picture now, but it seemed Azure had a revival skill up his sleeve. That would certainly be a nuisance. "If anyone has anyway to stop Azure from using his revival skill, then now would be a good time to do it. Otherwise, aim your physical skills his way." Mel cast "Hell Pyre" Azure's way, while Vash used "Artful Sacrifice", aiming to attack Azure before going back to defend Mel from any more attacks.

Mel was healed for 1700


Mel's firey blast knocked him off his feet onto the ground, knocking the wind out of him, making his body feel weak and unable to get up on his own, dealing 350 damage to him due to resistances.


Vash's strikes dealt critically struck Azure for 1900 damage


Azure is struggling to recover


"..."


"Power Charge"


Riff focused his energy, drastically increasing his power by 2.5 times.


Riff is now able to use Arcane Artes.


"Binding Arrow"


Azure was shot by Milia, trying to keep him grounded, dealing 950 damage.


"MeAni Zot"


Morgana cursed the ground, creating a damaging field that Azure is stuck in, currently dealing 50 damage to him, since she lacked physical skills


"Feather Vulcan"


Vize shot feathers to damage Azure again, dealing 750 to him.


"Vicious Blow"


Tarve went up to Azure, and put all his strength into cleaving Azure, dealing 1150 damage to him.


"Gah... Riff... help me... I need... to use my Arcane... Arte... I can't... die..."





Azure began writhing on the ground as something began happening to him, when something split off of him, just like the other time against the Aberrants...


"A fourth?"


"($!(!%@#$% !@#*!#@"





The 4th Aberrant attacked with a shadowy blast of energy, dealing 430 damage to him


"Ugh... no..."


Azure blacked out... and the 4th Aberrant jumped off the rather small battle arena they were all in... seemingly falling into the infinite abyss


"What... just happened? Why did it attack one of its own?"

Mel had very mixed feelings about their situation. On the upside, "Azure" was now gone as well so there was no threat of any revivals. But on the other hand, Riff was prepped for his Archane Art, whatever that was. There was really no telling what he was going to do. All they could do was prepare for the worst.


"If anyone can inflict break right now, try it. It'd be ideal to break his tension down before he can use his Archane Art if possible. Rose. Heal everyone as much as you can. We need to be at our best if we have to take this head on."


"Right! Media!"


"Morgana. Cast your magic barrier on Rose. As our only healer, we need to make sure she's not taken out of the picture. Milia. I'm going to need you to use your strongest holy magic skill on Riff." Mel then cast "Ap Corva" on Milia, in hopes of increasing the damage dealt. "Vash. Do the same with your lightning magic."


"Aye aye!" Vash shouted, saluting as he did so. "Spark Wave!"


"Vize. He may be resistant to your magic but try anyway. Try to keep your distance as well. Even if you're not as effective, we can't afford to lose members we didn't have to. That goes double for you, Milia. Tarve." Mel took a quick look at Tarve as if trying to study him before turning away with a rather disappointed look. "I have no idea what you can do, so just do whatever you think is best."

"Roger"


Milia shone as her magic stat was buffed


Everyone's health reached Max


Vash's shocks dealt 950 damage to Riff.


"Unleash my inner demon, and set loose the my wrath to strike all down before me"


"Awakening"


The choker that was on Riff's neck faded away rapidly. Following that, his body rapidly began getting completely covered in white fur and ice. His head turned feminine, with what looked like featureless golden eyes, lacking pupils or irises. He appeared wolf like in nature by the end of transformation, spouting a wolves tail to suit.


"You're done"


Several of Riff's stats were buffed. Riff's number of attacks increased. Riff gained access to new Skills.


"Absolute"


A massive energy of Frost and Ice gathered around Vash's location, the area freezing over rapidly, until a massive Ice Crystal was formed, trying to trap Vash within it. Vash was struck by a weakness, critically damaging him dealing 5600 to him. Vash from Completely encased on the Ice, freezing him solid, rending him unable to do anything at all without outside assistance. Vash blacked out in the ice.


"This is bad... it powered itself up... and already took out one of us..."


"Agh! He'll go down soon enough, maybe if Rose is lucky he can off him just like Bunny tried to do us."


"Holy Lance"


Milia formed several lance's around Riff, crashing them all down around him, striking him for a weakness do deal 4200 damage.


"YA! That'll teach ya"


"Air Blade"


Vash shot out another heavy stream of wind at Riff, however, he resisted the attack, and ended up dealing no damage.


"Uh...?! My strongest magic is to weak to hurt him!?"


"Black Barrier"


Rose gained a magic barrier that wrapped itself around Rose, gaining a anti-magic shield that renders her immune to magically induced debuffs for the next 1500 damage.


"...?!"


Tarve found himself unable to summon his Aqua Aura to deal with the increased stats of Riff...


"I'm unable... to use my Arcane Arte here... this dimension is hindering my abilities, and is preventing from using my Arcane Artes..."


"Aqua Edge"


A pool of water formed, from which thin blades of water came out shooting at Riff. Riff attacked the blades of water coming at him, destroying them, and protecting himself from the attack.
