Realistic or Modern [OSV] "Our Small Victory"

[wdinatx]

The tie shall never be broken. We shall ask her to raise a shield in the form of a middle finger. Like the daring and mature teenager that we are.

Nah I’m sure there’s a peaceful resolution to this. I.E. us winning.

Make fun of the entity's apparant lack of stealth, calling it out

Screw it, it might catch the entity off guard if we already know it's there.

>>>Make fun of the entity's apparant lack of stealth, calling it out

I guess I'll take the troll option.

"Our Small Victory"​

Location: Eryn's living room, Time: 00:09 (Midnight)​

"You never did level up in sneak did you, ya camping bastard?" Eryn stood up on the couch and looked behind him at one of the walls.
"Now all of China knows you're here, you absolute failure of an assassin!" "The fuck?"
Eryn heard a muffled voice coming from within a wall, distorted as if it was coming out of a speaker, "Predator-01, you've been spotted. Clean this mess up."
"Wha-?"

He felt a rapid build-up of kinetic energy behind him, and dived down just fast enough to avoid having his head impaled from behind by a long, red spike shooting out from the opposite wall. It nicked his face barely, drawing blood. The spike retracted just as quickly as it had come out, leaving no trace of it ever happening. as it had done no damage to the wall. Sydney brought up a bubble shield around the couch just as more spikes started to shoot at them from all over the room, attacking the shield over and over again. Every attack created another crack in the shield, and Sydney had to constantly rebuild it just to keep them alive. The entity's attacks only seemed to be getting faster and faster.

"What the actual fuck?!"
"YEAH NO KIDDING. DO SOMETHING. NOW."

He heard a flushing noise come from the bathroom.
"Remember, no witnesses."
And now he could feel part of the mass in the walls start to spread towards the bathroom, with the attack still being maintained.

Well, shit. Now what?​

Drag the entity out of the walls and into the open.

Call out to Robin to warn him

Leave the bubble shield and provoke the entity, then turn invisible

Hold the mass and spikes in place to trap it.

[Idea]

>>Call out to Robin to warn him. He might be able to escape or we might even get ourselves some back-up

 

[wdinatx]

Drag the entity out of the walls and into the open. We can’t fight someone we can’t see.
P.S. This “entity” seems like a secret organization. Just saying.

 

[Agent]

Drageth the entity out of the walls and into the ope.
I doth not bethink we needeth to warneth Robin, as that gent shall heareth all the ruckus and cometh to checketh. Leaving the bubbleth buckler f'r just a second seemeth liketh a dang'rous idea, and grabbing the foe's attacketh eke seemeth dang'rous.

Spoiler: What are you even saying?

Drag the entity out of the walls and into the open.
I don't think we need to warn Robin, as he will hear all the ruckus and come to check. Leaving the bubble for just a second seems like a dangerous idea, and grabbing the enemy's attack also seems dangerous.

 

[Miniapollo17]

Drag the entity out of the walls and into the open.

As already mentioned, we're getting nowhere just sitting in the bubble without a clue of where to even attack.

 

[Historical Storyteller]

Hold the mass and spikes in place to trap it.

Don't venture out and do something stupid, decide things from a distance since you have the power to do so.

 

[Damafaud]

Hold the mass and spikes in place to trap it.

Hello? Big predator ready to eat us? What if it can enlarge like those Power Ranger monster

 

[Pryno]

Hold the mass and spikes in place to trap it.

That seems reasonable enough to work. And Predator-01 is killing in collaboration with someone? Interesting...

 

[official clown business]

Hold the mass and spikes in place to trap it.
This is just like in the horror movies! Imagine if there was an alien or otherworldly monster hiding in your walls or something! Man, that would be scary.

Well, since we've got powers, let's put a stop to this problem. After we nail this guy, we'll have a fun story to tell our friends at the next party.

"Our Small Victory"​

Location: Eryn's living room, Time: 00:12 (Midnight)​

Eryn took a moment to prepare himself, using TK sonar to feel the position of as much as the entity's mass as possible, before grabbing and holding it as securely as he could. The spikes froze where they were, allowing Sydney to drop her shield and collapse, taking a breather. This move wasn't kind to Eryn's left arm, though, which had already taken some abuse earlier against Stan. It wasn't just his left arm either. The entity was massive, as it had to be in order to fill up this much space while also extending spikes out of itself, and was actively struggling against Eryn's efforts to keep it still. The spikes slowly inched towards them, and Eryn felt a growing pain speading throughout his body.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Sydney getting back up and drawing her rapier. A fair choice given that there's not a clear target with the rifle, but Eryn still thought that the rapier may not be the best sword for this situatio-

The blade separated and expanded, seemingly held together by the bright blue arcs zapping between and through the segments.
"WHAT THE SHIT? I WANT ONE OF THOSE!"
Sydney slashed at one of the spikes, and while it wasn't able to cut through completely, it did seem to twich from the electricity. Eryn felt all resistance from the entity stop for a short moment, but it started up again soon enough, and retracted it's spikes. Since they were going in the same direction as Eryn's force, he wasn't able to stop them, and was further caught off guard when they all jutted out again only to be stopped by a new bubble shield from Sydney. Robin re-entered the room as the "Predator-01" restarted its attack.

"....Huh."

It didn't seem to like being tased.​

Use the energy gun. There's still a setting you haven't tried yet, and it might be helpful.

Tell Robin to enter the shield with them, while temporarily stopping its attacks again.

Make fun of it for hiding in the walls, coaxing out into the open.

Repeat the previous move, and tell the other two to assault it with electrical attacks.

[wdinatx]

Repeat the previous move, and tell the other two to assault it with electrical attacks. It seems to be working! Just, a little, further!

 

[Idea]

>>>Repeat the previous move, and tell the other two to assault it with electrical attacks.

Well, it's proven to be effective. We should milk it while it still hasn't learned how to defend against it.

 

[Historical Storyteller]

Repeat the previous move, and tell the other two to assault it with electrical attacks.

Might as well jump in the bandwagon on this one!

 

[Pryno]

Repeat the previous move, and tell the other two to assault it with electrical attacks.

We found his weakness! Charge!

 

[official clown business]

Repeat the previous move, and tell the other two to assault it with electrical attacks.
DIE

 

[Damafaud]

Use the energy gun. There's still a setting you haven't tried yet, and it might be helpful.

New setting!

 

[Agent]

Repeat the previous move, and tell the other two to assault it with electrical attacks.
My initial plan was to use the energy gun, but then I remembered what happened to Stan. It didn't punch a hole through him, so it's unlikely that it'll do squat to the spikes either.

"Our Small Victory"​

Location: Eryn's living room, Time: 00:15 (Midnight)​

Eryn froze the entity just like he did before, but felt his stamina draining much quicker this time. It didn't matter much, however, since Sydney immediately caught on and slashed at a spike with her taser sword again, stunning it.
"Robin, zap it!"
"You sure I shouldn't use a shotgun?"
"DO THE ZAP!"
One of the spikes thrusted out at Robin, who sent a thin, yellow stream of electricity into it. Eryn knew that his attacks were only strong enough to cause someone discomfort, like a handshake prank buzzer, but this somehow caused every part of the entity to become paralysed. He released his grip, and sure enough the spikes were still stuck in place. Since Robin's power had such a low output, Eryn assumed he'd be able to keep this up for quite a while. He walked up to a spike, past the sharp bit, and examined it from the side, tapping it a bit.

"Huh. The spike itself isn't red, rather it seems like there are red muscle fibres covering a core."
"Like a bone?"
"Yeah, actually, that sounds about right."
"This almost feels too easy...isn't this the same thing that got rid of heroes way more powerful than us?"

Eryn considered her point for a moment. This did seem oddly convenient. Before he could follow this train of thought, he felt movement from the spike, which suddenly lost its rigidity and slammed into him like a whip, throwing him across the room. He bounced off the sofa and onto the ground.

"yOU tRicked mE yOu bAsTArd"

The entity's entire mass seeped into the room, forming the figure of a blood-red skeletal deer, with grotesque muscle tissue covering parts of it and as tall as the room it was in. The entity evidently still had plenty of mass to spare, covering the inner walls of the room and sprouting spikes all over, preparing to strike again. Its skull was unable to express any kind of emotion, nor did it probably want to. The lack of breathing gave it an eery, unnatural stillness. The only parts that hadn't moved were the spots that Robin was directly applying electricity too, so Eryn came to the conclusion that it was only a regional effect, and that the entity was only feigning weakness across the rest of its body.

"Stop playing with your food."

The spikes shot out at the trio at an even faster pace than before, and Sydney had to create a separate bubble shield for each of them now that they were separated. As it made its assault, the main body started to slowly approach Sydney.

It's been toying with you this entire time.​

Use the energy gun. Electricity might have been underwhelming, but the good old "beam that cuts through metal walls like butter" sounds a bit more promising.

Freeze it long enough for all of you to regroup, then make everyone invisible.

Telekinetically suplex the main body.

Compress the mass into a small enough area so that Robin can electrocute the entirety of it at once.

[wdinatx]

All of these look good(well, except for the suplex.) TBH, but we’re probably going to die if we keep fighting. I seriously don’t want to test if this has bad ends.

 

[Damafaud]

Use the energy gun. Electricity might have been underwhelming, but the good old "beam that cuts through metal walls like butter" sounds a bit more promising.

SEE. I told you using the same trick twice is a bad idea but nooo you think this monster that has a voice of God in his ear is incapable of learning.

I think the monsters are tailored to counter power. Go blaster

 

[Idea]

>>Compress the mass into a small enough area so that Robin can electrocute the entirety of it at once.

If this is actually possible, it seems like the best option
