destinystrings | The 13th Hour

Who: EVERYONE who is in the Scorpio Event and not doing the boss battle.
Where: The Entire City
Summary: 13th hour. The Perfect Link's Mutation Skill is unlocked and now people have a chance against the swarming Scorpions. Unfortunately, for some, this just means the paranoia hit a new low....you can group and join each other's posts and try to hold the city down and protect everyone!
Warnings: NPCs, Attacking, Battles.

13th Hour.

The city was in chaos. As it hit, the population attempted to return home, but it was too late. The scorpions continued to swarm, the police force trying to help as many as they could. You might even spot the Anoli once in a while...although they were only helping those that had Persona. Regardless, they were, at least, doing something.

The corpses of millions of scorpions were littered in the city streets. But once the 13th hour hit...the remaining ones mutated. But that was not the worst of it...

Oh no...

The Scorpios of the city now had a Scorpion tail dragging behind them, capable of causing Poison and Paralyzing damage. On a normal human, this was already terrible enough...

On a Persona User....they needed to be taken down.

Quickly.

And yet even in this Hour, there is hope. Power surges in a select few, and with a new skill at their tips, the battle may be won yet. But remember your mission; you came to protect this city. That includes the people living here. With so much chaos, you'll also need to help them and reduce the number of deaths as much as possible...and try not too look too closely at a looming figure in the Scorpio Ward...

Aziraphale turns to find the source of the blue energy with a bit of worry, only to find the young angel behind him. "Thank you!" He grins a bit bashfully, noticing that Pit's admiring his sword. Aziraphales a bit intrigued by what weapon he's holding as well.

"Do you like it?"

"Man that is awesome! I wish I had a weapon as cool as that!"

Said the kid who has freaking magic machine guns and samurai blades and clubs that can shoot projectiles through walls.

"I actually really like your weapon, whatever it is." Aziraphale motions to the club in his hands. "Did you fire that ball of energy using it??" That's actually pretty impressive to him, his sword doesn't exactly have any kind of projectile properties, although his Persona did.

"Are you helping out the civilians as well? Certain ones are being swarmed for some reason much more severely than others, as though the creatures are attracted to them... I haven't been able to discern why, exactly."

He nods. "I'm helping out however I can. As for my club...all my weapons do that! I mean, not all of them can shoot through walls, but all of them can fire projectiles. It's pretty handy being able to switch from ranged to melee attacks!"

"All of them??" Wow... That really must have been convenient.

Looking past Pit at approaching scorpions, Aziraphale spins his sword in his hand skillfully and rushes past him, downing the scorpions in a few quick slashes. They screech as the flames burn their shells. "I believe these things aren't fond of fire."

"Oh really?" he asks, a blue card floating before him. "Then it's time to bring the pain!"

Pit smashes the card with his club, calling forth a...

...um...

It's...

A game sprite?! From the 1980's?! It's an angel!?

That sets fire to some of the scorpions, but.

..... Aziraphale stares at the odd Persona, adjusting his glasses. "That's certainly an interesting looking one... It looks like it came from one of those children's arcades..." He totally is still a 1980's kind of angel himself.

Striking another scorpion with his flaming sword, Aziraphale then calls up his own angel Persona and crushes a card in his hand, lightning bolts shooting from Principality and finishing it off.

"No. It came from the NES! It's me!"

"...The NES?" Okay he's never heard of the NES... he may be an 80's man, but he's also an old fuddy duddy who doesn't own a television set and has never played a video game in his entire life. "That's..... you...."

Oh my god Pit stop breaking the fourth wall.

HE CAN'T HELP IT IT'S CANON

"Yeah! The Nintendo Entertainment System. Back in '87 Nintendo released this game called Kid Icarus, starring me! Obviously I'm years away from that--last game I was in was Kid Icarus: Uprising, for the 3DS. It's amazing how far video game technology has come! My latest game's soundtrack is even orchestrated!"

And quite awesome, the narration can't lie. ~~It's not like she's listening to it right now or anything.~~

......... Aziraphale is so entirely confused and stunned by what Pit just said- and the fact that he actually meant it all and wasn't kidding around- that a scorpion manages to come up from behind him and knock him off of his feet.

Aw hale naw, nobody beats up his big angel bro in Pit's watch. That scorpion gets scorched accordingly, along with any other buggers who might have similar ideas.

Never once does it occur to Pit that he is the cause of Aziraphale's distraction.

Aziraphale gets back to his feet, stumbling and sputtering with confusion. Where the hell did that thing come from?? Luckily he's mostly unharmed, and just brushes himself off, looking around him for any other scorpions that might attack, before turning his attention back to Pit.

"You said you're from a video game then??"

"Yep, sure am! I'd invite you to play them but I think Nintendo systems are hard to come by in this city. They're probably real expensive."

No time to talk about video games! There's about five zombie Scorpio users in the middle of the street. One of them has a Ichthyocentaur Persona floating above him, flipping over some cars like it wasn't a problem at all.

They haven't noticed the other two yet. But keep in mind...these are humans under there.

Aziraphale is zoning out when Pit is talking to him, because he can not comprehend what the hell he's even talking about at this point. Which is good because there's something much more dire to turn his attention to, Aziraphale looks past Pit and his eyes grow wide.

"Pit, look out!" Switching his Persona to Eve, he scans the Scorpios approaching them, searching for a weakness, something they could use to knock these people out or keep them at bay.

Pit turns around and "WHOA!"

And immediately hopes they didn't hear him and that they'll just move along, merrily destroying things in their path~

I think such optimism isn't going to work too well. As the Scorpios approach, Eve is finding nothing to go by other than that these enemies were very strong.

"Pit, I don't think we can take these ones... me may have to retreat."
