ARIES BOSS BATTLE [Closed]
Welcome to the Great Show on Earth
Who: Chosen 5 (Closed Log)
Where: Aries Stadium and Beyond
Summary: The Aries Monster Strikes unexpectedly.
When: 19th of April, 11AC, 13th hour.
Warnings: Fear, Horror, Dead bodies, Body Damage, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Battle Music: Breathe
There had been no warning. No special feeling.
Just strange things that set themselves up on all parts of the city. But for five Visitors, the situation is far different than the rising panic that is slowly building in the city. Without warning, they are whisked into a destination, as the lights of the stadium shine brightly in their eyes. There is little time to think about the irony that, once again, the stadium is at the center of the issue. How did they get here?
Before they can think or even see who their compatriots are, the lights move of their own accord, shining on a gigantic figure standing nearly twenty feet tall. There are four golden ram heads with a single body.
"LAAAAADIES AND GENTLEMEEEEEN!!!"
It can speak? As it does, the happiest of the monster's head takes forefront.
"Weeeelcome to the greatest show on earth! The one, the only...me! Have you attended my media circus yet, or were you just sleeping? Regardless, congratulations! By a purely stroke of luck, you are the Outsiders that I have picked to fight me! You're all quite a challenge so to make sure I was up to the task, I've already practiced with citizens..."
It's face moves and changes to that one that looks terrified, the sound of grinding gears and metal turning.
"How they screamed and cried for mercy! Too bad for them!"
There's a pile of people to where it points with its cane. It's not...pretty to watch. There's more than a dozen people in there, no doubt...
"Are you ready for the main attraction, Outsiders? I'll start with only you five to face me in my full splendor!" The creature bows at the visitors, snickering to itself. As they watch, the head switches to the ram's head that looks angry.
"Now then! Formalities aside, this is a life or death situation! Death for you, of course. Fooooooor in this battle there is," Aries holds up its hands and goes back to the happier face. "NO rules, NO setup, NO stage level!" Confetti falls from the stadium's celebration piles. "Now then, Outsiders, let's see if you'll be able to save your beloved city, shall we?!"
"Cue the music!"
The monster's ego was clearly huge. Well there was no chance to say hi to each other, time to quickly prepare and get ready!
[OOC: THERE IS NO SET ORDER FOR THE FIRST FEW THREADS, TAG FAST AND FURIOUSLY, FOR THOSE INVOLVED, PLEASE COME TO THIS PLURK.]
SCAN RESULTS
Sébastien - Persona Skill: Aqua
Sasha - Persona Switch: Kohryu, Persona Skill: Mind Charge
That aside, Sasha considered her skills carefully. Phaeton was kind of weak. It wouldn't be able to cut through something that had "very high" HP. Sure, it was a good substitute for her natural magic (which was weakened by the world's energy balance), but if she had a more powerful option, why not use it? She raised her hand up, called the Velvet Room card down, and crushed it. The massive dragon appeared and roared, drawing energy into itself. This would make the next attack significantly more powerful and hopefully make the battle be done with that much quicker.
Shinjiro | Persona Skill : Akasha Arts (Physical)
So taking a moment, trying to put aside the cry of pain behind him, he calls out Castor and sends him surging forward.
Fire - Medium, all | Mind - Self
"I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" , Flames shoot out from his outstretched hand towards them, sending burning fire their way.
> Sébastien has the confused status for one round!
> No one else is affected by a status!
The scary face to its place, the monster suddenly trembling.
"B-b-b-but," it goes on, "...I feel the need for speed!" Twirling its cane, a spell hovered above him before entering his body and suddenly it looked like his body was moving faster than before. Who knew what else it did.
> No one is affected by a status!
Ruri - Persona Skill - Weakness Scan
She shakes her head and calls her persona again.
"Yurika, we need more data."
SCAN RESULTS
Seb - Persona Skill: Distraction - Status: Confused
"Come dance, Odile!" he shouted as he stepped away from Shinjiro. But, confused as he was, his Persona partner appearead behind him, away from his outstretched arm, he messed up his foot work during the pas, and when Odile jumped for the finale he completely failed to catch her and she crashed on the ground.
Not his finest hour there.
Sasha- Persona Skill: Volt Carnage
Now, however, it was time to unleash the stored power. "Don't worry, guys! This is a really high-ranking skill, and it's charged up to boot!" She probably shouldn't have announced that, but she did anyway. Following that, she had Kohryu fire off the Volt Carnage.
Shinjiro | Persona Skill: Evil Smile (Mind)
And with a shrill, equine shriek he sends an Evil Smile the Ringleader's way.
Ice (All) Scan (All) Physical (NA) Fear
Unfortunately, the display of electrical prowess, while amazing in its own right, end up being absorbed by the creature. All of the previous damage is healed back. The face turns again, it's the happy one.
"Not bad! Finally, you have some bite to you, although that attack was useless on me. I AM INVINCIBLE!!!" As it spoke those lines, solid walls of ice erupted from the sky, raining down on them like harden piece of never-ending hail.Pointing its cane at them again, grids appeared over their bodies for a few seconds, as it let out a terrible laugh."Well played, but now I know everything about all of you! The faster I am rid of you, the faster I can finish the job!"
The face turned to the sad one.
"Unfortunately, its the end!" Taking the cane with both hands like a golf club, it swung it at Shinjiro in an attempt to slam him outside into the sky, but as he got closer to him, let out a scream and dropped his cane as the fear effect took over his mind.
"No! no no no no no no this is about me! MEEEE! Stop it stop it stop it! Did you hear me?! THIS IS ABOUT ME!!"
>It was far too gone to do anything else...
Ruri - Persona Change/Call Nadesico
"The Sad face absorbs electricity, I'm also calling for backup."
Seb - Persona change: Mom - Persona skill: Diarama (self)
"This is will help you out there, son," she said before healing Sébastien's wounds, allowing him to stand normally again... and return to his spot behind Shinjiro, now that he was no longer confused.
Native Skill: Dragon Flare (Fire) Persona Skill: Diarahan (Shinjiro)
"I-I'm sorry, everyone! I didn't know that would happen!" That apology was incredibly lame, but that was all she could do for now. "Don't worry, I can heal!" She scanned the fighters, checking to see who looked most banged up, and decided that it would be Shinjiro. "Here, take this!" With that, she casted Diarahan on him.
"I can also do this, though I don't know how effective it's gonna be." She held out one hand and fired a flame that was shaped like a long dragon at the monster. Her natural magic was weakened in this world due to a different energy composition from her home world, which was why her Soul Persona wasn't completely redundant. If she had to attack by chip damage, though, it was what she'd have to do.
Shinjiro | Persona Skill : Physical Break
That was the question. He had used a mind and fire-based skills just a moment ago, and had been found vulnerable to both of those. Was it weak to ice and physical now? Hard to say. And he's not sure if he wants to chance another of his physical attacks being rendered ineffective.
Still, relieved that Castor's skill worked, Shinjiro retreats a more acceptable distance back from the monster (last thing he needed was to be right by him), shaking off the bits of ice and more than a little grateful for the healing.
He then uses the opportunity to cast Physical Break on the enemy. That should give most of them an attacking point, at the very least.
Physical, All Poison, Mind, Self, Mind
The news. The city was now wide awake in the middle of the surprise attack, and from a safe distance, cameras were rolling.
Someone seemed happy with the bright light was flashed at him.
"Aha! I was wondering when the fools would show up. Well everyone, cameras are rolling and the whole city's watchin'! Let's light up a few more fires, shall we?"
It was back to the angry face again. With a sickening crack, it used its left leg to hurl the human bodies on the floor at them. Those were real bodies. Piece of dead demons and people scattered around them, sending whatever remained of the blood and organs crashing on top.
>Ruri is poisoned!
Sébastien is poisoned!
Sasha is poisoned!
"Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night!" The face changed once more, fearful. "B-b-but let's see. How about...you? What should we talk about, so that the entire city can hear about it?"
The cane pointed to Shinjiro...or rather the boy hiding behind him.
"Where should I start? Ladies and gentlemen! This boy is available, but better act now before he dies cold and alone and not having experienced the taste of human flesh in its most carnal form...besides, he'll be easier to tame, once I break his legs..." He snapped his fingers.
Crack! The sound of his bones giving way, legs crumbling until he fell to the floor, was all too clear...for Sebastian. Stuck inside an illusion, to the others he'd simply fallen over, keeping his vocal agony, but unreachable by the others around him. And for him only, oh for him, he would continue to see the battle as it got worse and worse...
> Sébastian is temporarily down for a number of tuns!
Ruri - Persona Skill - Ice Punch
"....I'm not sure if that's a joke or not. If we can hold out till the Nadesico gets here I can get the distortion fields up."
Seb - Status: Illusion
Sasha: Native Skill: Fire Magic Persona Skill: Diarahan (Sebastien) Status: Poisoned
A more pressing concern was the young man who was now screaming and collapsed not too far away from her. Clearly, he had been injured, and he needed healing... right? Never mind that Sasha's own strength was ebbing and she would need to heal herself soon; whatever the monster did to him sounded nasty. She sent a Diarahan his way, hoping that it would at least ease the pain.
Once that was done, Sasha flung off another dragon-shaped flame at the beast. It made the beast tarry for a few moments, so why not try again?
Shinjiro | Persona Skill : Akasha Arts (Physical)
So he guesses he needs to fulfill his end of things, and he's not willing to lose whatever affordance the Physical Break gave him, and launches Castor forward.
Mind | Barrier (All)
"I see. So it's brought several of you here. I'll be brief; strange tents have shown up in certain of the city's wards. No warning. There's a magical barrier protecting anyone from coming in, but the news helicopter has had no issue getting in...we think it might be purposefully doing that. It's never a good idea to give in to their demands but, it's probably too busy with that to notice who else is inside..."
That being implied; said grumpy old man was up there with the people rolling the cameras. Maybe if you'd wave you'd see him.
A wall of energy surrounds them, forming a barrier as the monster is distracted from both from what small harm it has gotten, and Q uses that time to talk some more.
"There wasn't much time to create a counter-offense, but Kandori and the others are busy at City Hall with the police force, while Visitors are tasked with attacking whatever creatures are in those tents. And--oh dear, it seems one of you fellows can't stop yelling, hold on..." Seb suddenly went mute. Or more like someone cast a spell on him. "It's the best I can do for now. I'll need some time to fix his situation. So now I'll need to ask you what you need of me..."
> Q can either become full support for the group, or you can ask him to aid you with direct combat and try to break the barrier surrounding the area.
Ruri - Persona Skill - Ice Punch
Her persona appears again, to Ice punch the monster again, Ruri just sweatdroping at it and shaking her head.
"....If I survive this I need to see if this was a joke."
Sasha: Native Skill: Fire Magic, Persona Skill: Diarahan (Self), Status: Poisoned
Meanwhile, she was starting to feel a little faint. It was the wounds from before with the added effect from the poison, of that she was certain. She pulled out Kohryu again and cast Diarahan on herself. It helped, as the pain eased, but she still felt quite nauseous. Stupid poison.
Shinjiro | Persona Skill : Akasha Arts (Physical)
"If you can help us on the offensive side of things, that'd be as good as anything. If we can get that barrier you're talking about down, be more likely we can get other help coming in."
[With his opinion said, Castor appears in front of him again, continuing the physical assault against the Ringleader.]
1/2
A pointless question, perhaps, but after attempting to throw another physical attack at them and getting nothing but getting it reflected right back at itself it was becoming livid, especially as their attacks pass through and hit him.
Once the barrier's energy is spent, it wastes no time.
"I'm going to make YOU an offer you can't refuse!" With Sebastian already out of the picture, Shinjiro feels a physical cut on him, as high physical damage is slammed into him, a bright white light adding additional light damage.
The face turned over to the angry one.
"Frankly, my dearies, I don't give a damn what happens with everyone." It wasn't wasting any time, as fire erupted from its entire body, sending a painful wave of intense fire everyone's way. For everyone else, it might have been painful, but for Shinjiro, he hadn't even had enough time to get up from the previous attack. It may be wise to tend to him after that...
The face switched over to the fearful one.
"H-ha! T-that's what you all get!"
