Who: Characters who signed up here.
Where: Outside the dome, Pluto Zone
Summary: It's angel hunting time.

Not for the first time, the desolate silence of the Pluto Zone was disturbed.

People manifested upon the arid plain - six individuals within a latent rune circle that had spontaneously flared into existence. A few carried equipment, which they carried towards the gleaming golden tree upon the horizon. One youth directed the others, and together the group set up several devices in a wide circle upon the Angels' roost. Once they were all in place, the leader turned towards his companions.

"It seems that everything is ready." Flynn spread his arms, indicating the seven monitoring arrays which they had put into place. "I hope you all are."

He inhaled deeply, pressing a button upon his Gauntlet. There is a brief burst of static, and a mechanical dragon appears by his side.

"We begin."

Fafnir roared and opened its maw, forming a glittering orb of light between its jaws. A moment later the orb elongated into a spear of golden light, and the demon fired its Grand Tack at the branch which connected one cocoon to the tree -

- a flash of light flared into existence, accompanied by the sound of crystal shattering. Four voices began speaking in unison, the sound sending chills down everyone's spine.

Foolish filth who dare desecrate our slumber - perish before the power of us heralds bearing the might of God himself!

[ ooc: this is the log for the angel hunting plot! characters are divided into teams of two, and they each face one angel. once three angels have been defeated, their leader will reveal itself. the battles will be hard, but they will not be impossible to win. do you best, everyone! ]

"Tch!"

[Naoya sends his demons back to his COMP, listening carefully to Takakage's message.]

I can shield us from physical attack.

Much as he hates taking the passive role in this fight, it's the wiser choice. "Fine."

He steps back and casts a Shield All on himself and Flynn's party.

Flynn groans and buckles half-over, but he still has enough energy left to summon his Persona. White Isabeau appears beside him in a vague praying position. Light flares from her hands, and Vishnu stirs. The deity rises slowly, casting Salvation to heal both itself and the party.

Alice giggles, stepping forward and snapping her fingers. A dark aura begins to form in her hands, as well as over Gabriel.

Gabriel sings again, and spears of light fall from the sky downwards onto the humans. However, they are repelled by Naoya's shield. It appears confused by this - it probably has not seen this shield before.

Instead, the angel's body is now outlined in a harsh blue glow.

Naoya casts it again, wobbling slightly. He needs to heal but he has no way of doing so. Even still, he has no intention of simply lying down and taking it. If he can provide an opening for Flynn and his demons, perhaps they can take advantage of it.

"What a pathetic creature you are! You were driven from your home and forced to find a new world to plunder. This world has no need of creatures like you. Begone!"

Flynn instructs Alice to buff them again, while he jumps forward to land a hit on the angel. While it seems completely counterintuitive, just one touch of his sword against Gabriel produces a black mark on the angel's body.

Vishnu tries to heal everyone, but the effect is not enough just yet.

Silence, filth! We are here to pursue an agent who has instigated rebellion against the millennial order. You are but a pest to our holy crusade!

The blue light around Gabriel intensifies, and myriads of ice spears fall from the sky again. Naoya's shield screens most, but not all of them. Instead, it tries the ailment attack again.

Naoya's brand has faded.

Flynn is poisoned, and Vishnu is stunned.

"Pest I may be, but your so-called 'holy crusade' ends here, foolish creature."

Finally he can heal. It means giving up a turn of shielding, but he needs it. He casts Mediarahan over himself and the rest of the party.
