[Game Opening, Part 4 : Mission 5 - Taking down Twin Trouble]

Who: Naminé, Minato, Maya, Simon, Raidou, Sissel, Misery, Naoya Toudou, Kohta
Where: Middle of the E8 in Gemini; Power Plant
Summary: Gemini Mission
Warnings: Third Wise Men Appearance



When you arrive, the situation already looks dire; this is where the main explosion you heard in the city hall came from. There's a fire that needs to be put out and people rescued from the blaze on the left. To the right, the remaining part of the Power Plant is being attacked by a bunch of armed men.

The current police and firemen force assembled there is doing a commendable job, but it is clear they are overwhelmed. As your vehicles touch down, there is always a a barrage of fire sent your way. One of the army men comes close to your group contact you on the Government COMP Codec number and patches you in.

"There ain't much time! At this rate, the plant's gonna blow up in twenty minutes if the central area isn't cooled down. We need that fire put out, don't care how you do it, as long as it can't spread out even more!"

Another voice breaks in, although you can barely hear anything due to the static.

"....wise ma...tak.........hosta....went down alone........get him back..."

"Damn it, figures he'd go down by himself to stop this. I need a group on his ass ASAP. He'll be able to recover the power with you."

A few scientists are standing outside, being covered against the ask and they warn you that the explosion removed some of the gates keeping a horde of zombies being researched on from escaping. They might be everywhere.

Just be careful not to get infected.

Problem was, right now, you first had to be able to carve a path to yourself into the Power Plant.

[OOC: As with every log like this, you are free to start your own sub-thread and have your characters stop swarms of zombies on your own. Don't forget to write your character's Persona awakening as well!]

He calls out for Minato to continue, as he's careful to keep Raiho close to him so the poor creature won't melt. Pausing for the demon drop more ice. Having a Persona would be helpful, but he has to focus on what he can do Now.

"We should go find the device they use to keep this place cool first to buy some time."

At the signal, Minato starts forward, taking point just in case anything jumps out at them in front. He can't do a thing about any fire, but if there are any zombies? They're toast.

"I don't think looking for an air conditioner is going to help... We need to get the power on line first."

The waterfall occurs again, this time a little further away and at a slightly different patch of fire. Say what you will about the woman, her magical energy must be something to be able to support objects several times her size like that.

It is tiring, though. Hopefully, they can finish up this nonsense soon and take down the idiots who attacked the place in the first place.

"Oh... right, you know what to do." Raidou sighed, trying to keep focus. "Raiho, hold off - conserve your energy."

Maya nodded, briefly glancing towards Misery as more water douses the flames. "It looks like we should be able to get the flames contained at this rate, but that doesn't mean they can't spread again... so, how do we go about getting the power back?" she asked, looking to Minato for some kind of direction. He looked fairly leaderly. Not that she hadn't had experience in that area, herself, but she didn't know much at all about power plants.

"They said there was someone who ran ahead to get the power back on. We should try to catch up and help, even if it's just protection and putting our fires in the plant." He pauses to survey the group as a whole. "Do we have anyone who has a persona that scan ahead?"

A time like this Fuuka would be really helpful... But not everyone here (himself included) has awoken or reawoken their personas, so he won't be surprised if no one can scan. They'll make due if not...
itswhoopasstime: (Oh?)

[personal profile] itswhoopasstime 2012-09-11 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Maya anxiously glanced towards the plant before shaking her head. "I don't, but I can keep putting out fires along the way. Even if we have to run in blind, we shouldn't wait very long."

Persona awakening in 3... 2...

[personal profile] misery_hates_company 2012-09-11 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Another waterfall, another appearance by the blue-haired witch. This time, she sets the container down, wiping her forehead a bit. Bother it all. How much more was this going to take?

She lands for a bit to rest. "Urgh. This is already proving to be quite an atrocious..."

Something cracks, right above her. She looks up to see a beam falling right on top of her.

"...night..."
aboyandhiscat: (Wait - What?)

Re: Persona awakening in 3... 2...

[personal profile] aboyandhiscat 2012-09-12 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Look out!" Raidou calls out as he heard the ominous crack, reaching for another summoning pipe. He has to help-
misery_hates_company: (Do what you do with pride)

I am thou...

[personal profile] misery_hates_company 2012-09-13 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Later, she would recall it as if time itself had slowed down. A peculiar thing, really; she could have teleported out at any moment, and she had certainly been in more near-death situations working for the wretched possessors of the Demon Crown -- and, in some cases, ACTUAL death -- than this one. But somehow, she found herself unable to move as the beam descended...

...and a strangely familiar voice echoed. I am thou...

The beam falls closer.

...Thou art I...

"...I... will... not... be stopped HERE!"

Her hand flings out, and a larger presence intercepts the beam. A strange-looking man, by all accounts, with orange skin, and what seems to be a congenial smile on his face, his eyes closed. Then his eyes open, and the glint of madness is readily apparent.

The beam is flung far away, seemingly disregarding any bystanders. Whether this is Misery's desire herself or not is hard to say; she seems to be rather in a state of shock, actually.

She whispers something, almost inaudibly. "...Uncle?"

On instinct, as he hears that crack, Minato's hand goes to his side where his Evoker should have been. Except that of course it isn't there. But thankfully it proves unnecessary anyway as Misery calls forth her Persona. And afterwards, she seems to be pretty shocked. That's not too surprising, all things considered, but now's not the time to dwell on her persona - there's fire and reportedly zombies and who knows what else...

"That's your Persona. It will protect you when you call it. ... we have to keep moving. Are you going to be okay?"

"My... Persona..."

For a moment, she's tempted to try to shut it down, to push it back into the deepest part of her psyche before he destroys everything. And yet in spite of the glint in his eyes, he doesn't seem inclined to do anything she doesn't tell it to.

She ponders this, and then snorts, a slightly bitter chuckle. "How ironic," she mutters. The man whose power she attempted to control, who ended up leaving her in chains for years. And now she controlled him, in a way. Life truly has a twisted sense of humor.

"Don't worry about me. I'll be quite fine, thank you." She looks up at "Uncle," then back at everybody. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's finish things up already, hmm?"

Maya nodded at the suggestion, offering Misery a small but genuine smile of understanding. It wasn't that long ago that she had first summoned her own Persona -- well before the stress of the fire had urged her to call on it here, but by all accounts, not long at all. She remembered the shock she had felt afterwards. No doubt Misery was feeling some kind of disconnect, too. Learning to summon your Persona could be a little jarring.

"Right. Let's get moving."

She glanced over her shoulder, frowning as a number of undead husks shambled along the ground that had been cleared of flames.

"Looks like we have company!"

Raidou slides a pistol from his holster - spinning the chamber as he turns to takes aim and fires at the husks. There are people here, there's the Wise Man they have to extract.

He needs to focus... focus.

"Raiho - Freeze them!" He commands sharply. "You can go on ahead, I'll catch up soon enough."

Well, now that everyone is ready, Minato nods to Misery and Raidou before glancing at Maya. "Let's clear them out and get going."

Initially, he backs Raidou up, using his laser, but once Raiho freezes them, there's no point waiting for them to thaw. And so, with another glance around, Minato hurries forward, dodging around the iced up enemies to hurry on towards and into the power plant.

"Tch. What a bother."

She eyes the zombies with disgust before she flies in, following the group in. Every so often, she throws a bit of debris or two at one or another undead creature, knocking them away. You get the sense she was already pretty strong WITHOUT the giant crazy guy in her head, if the fact she was lifting truck containers with magic didn't provide that image already.
itswhoopasstime: (Maia.)

Maya follows closely behind Minato as they run towards the plant, occasionally using another spell to douse the flames in their path along the way. Every little bit helps, and she's not interested in taking any chances when it comes to giving the fire an opportunity to spread further.

She slows to a stop once they reach the entrance, quickly scanning over their surroundings.

"We need to head deeper in. This place is a mess!"
fools_journey: battle glare (ready to fight)

[personal profile] fools_journey 2012-09-25 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mm. Hopefully the structure isn't compromised yet... We should hurry."

Having the power plant collapse on them or anyone inside would, of course, be very bad.

So, in the end, there's nothing for it but to forge on ahead into the dungeon halls and look for someplace that might be the key to restarting the place, since that's where they'll probably find the man they're looking for.
