destinystrings | And if I cannot do it on my own...[OPEN]

Who: Yukiko and anyone in the area
Where: Virgo Ward
Summary: Scorpions running around the city and one girl needs to get back into the swing of things. Might be stupid of her to face these things alone.
Warnings: Scorpions and fire. LOTS OF FIRE. /Beavis laugh

When she heard the post made earlier, Yukiko was heading back to her apartment from her job. Monsters attacking the city? This didn't sound good at all. While she was a fighter, she wasn't one to go looking for a battle so the best thing to do was to head back quickly as she could. If anyone needed help along the way, she and Amaterasu would put them first.

Too bad those critters had other plans: like try to attack the young woman from behind.

It was only by a split second but Yukiko jumped out of the way, tumbling into a wall. Without a second thought, she slipped on her TV World glasses and flipped open her fan.

"You're not getting away so easily...! Come forth!"

With a flash, Amaterasu appeared before the girl and sent out a good dosage of flames at the scorpions. But this was odd...why did she feel weaker from the last time she summoned her persona?

Yosuke, thank goodness! Well, not that fighting giant bug critters is good but to see a friend there is good for everyone else in the area because it'll give them a higher chance to help out those who can't.

"I don't know either! Did you see that post made on the COMP?"

While she spoke, Amaterasu decided to release a Maragion on several of the scorpions behind the young woman.

Yosuke holds up his arms over his face to shield himself from the blast of heat that came from Yukiko's attack. Lucky for Yosuke, he's rather fire resistant. Thanks Susano-o.

The teen gives a shrug in Yukiko's direction. "I saw a few things about this when I was leaving work, I didn't realize it was happening all over the damn city. For some reason these things are chasing me, though, I don't even know why!"

He pulls the pair of kunai he keeps on him at all times out of his pockets and twirls them in his hands. "I think if we can make it back to the apartment building we can escape these things. Magarula!!"

Another massive gust of wind strikes some of the scorpions, but it's not enough to keep them from coming. "Damnit, these things have some thick skin, I don't know if physical attacks are gonna do much better."

As Amaterasu launched another attack, Yukiko jumped back from the impact. "It's like no matter what we do, more keep coming."

But he was right. The only way out of this was to head back to the apartments and wait until this blows over.

"They're distracted! Let's hurry!"

Yosuke nods and motions for her to hurry, wishing terribly that Susano-o hadn't lost his Masukukaja skill since coming here; they really could have used the speed boost. He sends another Magarula in the swarm of scorpions coming at them from ahead.

"Where the hell did these things even come from?? I know this city's crawling with monsters, but this seems ridiculous!" Ugh. "Yu left work before me, I hope he got through here alright. Nanako-chan's still by herself back home."

"The apartments are protected though, right?"

They just had to be. But then, she thought of something:

"Hey, if there is a lot of these monsters running around, do you think they could be coming from one place?"

"Yeah, I don't think they can get inside the apartments. I think they're just on the streets right now."

He gives a shrug as he slashes at another scorpion, cutting it down.

"I don't know... they've gotta be, right? Ugh, but where??"

Wait...scorpions...people under a sign acting strange...hold on!

"...could it be from the Scorpio ward?"

She asks as she uses another fire spell to burn several more. Well, it's simple logic: Scorpios= same critters attacking. So it naturally would be in the same ward with the alike name, right?

Huh... well that made sense. He'd sort of forgotten the whole zodiac names for districts thing.

"Well if that's where they're coming from, I'd rather not head right into there right now. That place must be crawling with monsters... We should regroup with the others first and figure out a plan."

"Good idea, we need to contact them as soon as we can."

Guess who's flipping open her COMP right now and trying to call everyone?

"Tell them to meet in one of the living room floors of the apartment building. I think we all live in the same building, so it shouldn't be a problem." While Yukiko's calling the others, Yosuke calls up Susano-o again to release another gust of wind, sending the swarming scorpions flying away from the pair.
