destinystrings | THE AGE OF AQUARIUS - ASTROLOGY BOSS BATTLE [CLOSED]

((The thread order totally did swap somewhere oh well.))

((...Sob I am so sorry everyone))

((I will flip heads or tails after each group of tags to determine of they snap out of it.))

Once the lightening had subsided, the monsters attacked, grabbing their necks and shaking them over and over...or at least that's what it seemed like. As the group suddenly found themselves in a strange white area, brought together by fear, it looked like they had failed.

GAME OVER

[Nano's return to sanity was such a short reprieve.]

G-game over...? Does that mean we're...

[Dead?]

((ooc: Also I thought we'd decided to abandon a specific thread order for the combat group as long as all three of us tagged between boss comments. I could be wrong about that, though.))

"WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING?!"

ooc: yeah, i dunno either

"Nobody panic!"

Screams Atsuro as Daidara-bocchi smashes the Game Over sign into the ground repeatedly.

"Laksmi will cast Recarm soon! Like right now! She'll do it! Any second!"

((No worries I just keep waiting for the wrong order before tagging it's my bad, how about when you guys want me just title MOD TURN on top.
Nano: Resist | Sarah: Resist | Atsuro: Still Affected))

"...Hello? What are you three doing here? Is it already time to..."

A voice pierced their minds. Deep and powerful sounding, it left any traces of doubt that it was masculine. There was no one around them, so that just left more questions. But just as suddenly as they had come in, Nano and Sarah disappeared, right back.

"...did everyone just leave?" it seemed annoyed.

Back in the real world, Nano and Sarah would awaken to the beasts trying to push them down the holes again, along with their still comatose friend.

[Finally able to act on her own, Nano breaks free from the fear effect and immediately notices Atsuro still being dragged down into one of the holes.]

Atsuro-san!

[Geppetto, responding to Nano's distress, flies forward to strike out with his carving knife. Hopefully that will be enough to break the monster's grip on her friend.]

Sarah's reaction upon snapping back to reality is immediate - she focuses in on the Chimera she had hit with Mark and snaps out a command to Fenrir.

"Singled Out!"

With a howl, Fenrir fades into the shadows, his chains lashing out at the Chimera and dragging it down as well. There's the sound of bones splintering, accompanied by wet slurping sounds, ending in a lupine belch before her Persona reappears, looking somehow satisfied.

"What?! ...What kind of trick is this supposed to be?"

((I'm actually a little unclear on if the Fear is manifesting itself as the hallucination so should he still be afraid of the room?))

((It's the room itself, and no worries! Also: Atsuro: Still Affected))

"Tch. I'm not a trick. I'm just wondering why you're here. This place is off limits. Until it's time to..."

* - *

In the other world, two things happened; one, the monster was pushed back violently, saving the boy's body in the process, two, there remained nothing of the monster but a few drops of dark shadowy essence. The other two monsters suddenly turned over, in clear pain at having part of themselves completely gone and missing.

> ROLL 1-10 FOR AN ALL OUT ATTACK!

[All-out attack! Nano capitalizes on her earlier attack, manifesting her keyblade and rushing toward the monster in an attempt to strike it down for good. The grinding of gears and ticking of clocks can be heard as the strange weapon spins into high gear, thrusting toward the creature.]

As Sarah rushes forward, she swings her God Arc horizontally, aiming to impale the Chimeras on the points of the wing-like blade's 'feathers'. Hopefully the paralytic venom that leaks from the blade will kick in, as well.

"...Huh."

Atsuro calms down a bit at this placid response.

"Until it's time to... reach the end of the game? Give me a pat on the head? What?"

"Wake up, actually. There's a plan. You're all ruining it."

And the next blinking of his eye, there was suddenly someone in a full robe in front of him, the white Japanese funeral robes covering every inch of their body and face, making them unidentifiable. They raised a single, gloved finger, pointing it to his forehead.

"You lasted longer than the others, but you should go back before you die." Atsuro's vision became dim and slowly started to melt back into the roar of the beasts. "See you later."

I'm gonna need another number since the idea is one of them is the all out attack, picking the same number lowers your chances XD

[Results over this hover]

In the dust that builds up, Atsuro wakes up just as the two others rush towards their opponents that have fallen to the ground. The dust cloud grows almost comically, before it clear again, leaving the beasts hurt and bleeding but still standing. However they are clearly nearing the end of their lives and one in desperation unleash a gigantic explosion that causes its entire body to explode and send all three of them flying.

This just leaves one left standing...

[Results here.]

The last one, finding itself outnumbers chooses to join its brethren, exploding as well. The combined damage leaves Nano badly injured, Atsuro flying off again, but mostly fine, but its vengeance seems to be mostly set upon Sarah, purposefully running towards her and exploding close, leaving her in critical condition. She'll need to be healed as soon as possible or she may soon die...

[Nano grits her teeth, staggering back and falling to her knees in the face of the explosion. Unfortunately, her Persona can currently only bring her allies back after they've fallen, so she's going for the next best thing. A soft light washes over the group as she uses World Revolution, hoping it will buy them some time. And also desperately hoping one of Atsuro's demons is packing a healing spell.]
