destinystrings | The Underground Bull: Taurus Battle

The forces from the combined attacks hit the monster straight and true! Just as the freezing spell began to subdue, the Wall's attack sent it flying into the nearby stone pillar, and the rest of the attacks finished the job.

Letting out a scream of agony, it fell down...and didn't rise again.

However the entire underground chamber began to shake and groan, as pieces of rock fell over and tumbled, threatening to overflow the tunnel they were in. If it was dying, Taura was taking them with her!

Perhaps it was now a good idea to make a run for it, and get out before it was too late.

[OOC - As mentioned above, simply tag here instead of in order and I'll tag again once everyone has tagged. That way it will speed up things. Hope you guys are ready to escape >B] ]

(ooc: Per the event description, Fumi's Soul Persona has its Mutation Skill unlocked only during the 13th Hour, which is when this battle took place. It has the capability to teleport herself and three allies back to her apartment instantaneously. That's enough to get all but one of the characters out. I'm thinking she'd leave behind the character she judged to be the most capable of getting out under their own power, who in this case would be Xellos. Would you guys all be okay wit this? I didn't want to just do it without checking with everyone first.)

[OOC: I'd be fine with her either taking or leaving Sora. \o/]

((I'm find with this.))

((Works for me.))

[Very okay with this, as Xellos would likely vanish of his own accord once everything appeared to be taken care of.]

"Hmm... it seems this was a load-bearing boss."

Even in a dangerous situation like this, Fumi's cool-headed enough to crack jokes. Of course, there's a reason she's able to be so calm. Smiling confidently, she dismisses the Wall and calls out her Soul Persona.

"Thankfully, my Persona is ideally equipped to get four of us out of here."

She turns her attention to focus on Xellos.

"From all the strong magic you've been casually throwing around, I trust you're quite capable of getting out of here on your own. As for the rest of us... Vapula, Terminal Uplink. Get us out of here."

The griffin-winged lion nods its head, glowing with an unearthly energy that envelops Fumi, Sora, Latooni, and Elzam. With a cursory nod to Xellos, there is a great flash of white light, and the four vanish from the battlefield.

Did you really think it would be that easy?

"Quite observant, miss - I must admit I do appreciate your offer - it does save me quite a bit of trouble," Xellos answers with a faked smile of gratitude. After all, had they not had an escape plan, well. He was quite content to leave them here.

Once they vanish, Xellos does as well in a flash of sparkling violet ~~fabulous~~ light.

...and reappears in a place he did not intend to appear at.

"Oh dear."

It as huge. Huge and angry and annoyed and a lot of other things that wouldn't be fit to write here about the creature's temperament. You'd beaten it once, but it wasn't going to let itself just be destroyed that easy! If it was going, it was going to do as much damage as possible.

What did you do with something was as big a a skyscraper? At least it didn't look like it could move, but that didn't mean it couldn't attack. The beast did a hand motion and a spell enveloped it inside a protective sphere.

Your move.

[Same deal as the first form, I'll need 6 numbers from 1-10 and I'll be using them for all the roll counts this time. if I need 3, I'll use the first 3 and so on. And again, everyone replies to this post, and I'll do the next tag after everyone has replied and put them in an order which makes it the most advantageous for everyone.]

"I'm going to have to have a talk with that Philemon character about this defective Persona he gave me," Fumi complains, frowning in irritation as she glances back at Vapula, still floating behind her impassively.

With a sigh, she shakes her head and prepares another defensive spell of her own.

[1, 5, 7, 3, 4, 9.]

It had been a bit confusing when suddenly he'd been underground and then not. There hadn't been a Corridor anywhere near him. Fumi's ability certainly wasn't what he'd been expecting, that's for sure.

On top of that Taura was not yet down for good. She'd risen from the ground and was changed. Of course it had been too easy and now she was massive!

"Not good!" There's no hesitation from the Keyblade Wielder.

Up he jumped, higher then before and when he reached the limit of his Super Jump Sora brought that blunt weapon into a downward slash that was strong enough to create a shockwave.

Latooni stares up at Taura's mutated form. This was getting out of hand quickly.

"Maybe we should have brought our PTs, Major..." she commented as she tried to focus and see if this new form had inherited Taura's weaknesses.

[For things, then I can tag.]

((I left them out because I thought I still got a turn after doing an Analyze, but if you really need them: 6, 3, 8, 6, 4, 5))

((Oh you do, I just wanted to make sure I had them all.))

[OOC: 10, 2, 3, 9, 6, 8]

"I don't think Philemon, or your persona is the problem here, Miss - I didn't intend to wind up here, either..." Xellos sighs as well, pushing a bit of hair out of his face, and then violently swinging his staff in Taura's direction, slinging a hard-hitting blast of blackish-purple energy.

He certainly doesn't seem bothered by the creature's size, that's for certain.

((4,6,9 - 3,8,0))

"Maybe if the others can keep it busy for a second one of us can get them and deal with this."

Elzam looks at his watch, then up at the monster and pulls his evoker again, letting loose another light attack.

The scan results quickly came in and they weren't promising...

"She's weak to Wind now. Focus on that! That barrier will stop Water, too."

Latooni focuses on the offense, even though she doesn't have any Wind skills. Going out of control to this extent...she could really cause some damage, even kill people. Barely even thinking about it, she calls on Vasilisa to help the rest of the party, resulting in a skill she'd never seen before: the Persona split into blueish and reddish copies and performed a sequence of dance moves she knew very well. The rest of the team would be healed of whatever moderate damage had happened since the last Mediarahan and have their agility enhanced by the spectacle, before the twin Persona finally hit Taura for physical damage.

The results were quite different now. When the Dark and Light attacks hit the creature in force...they hit and did absolutely nothing. Sora and Latooni's physical spells made it move a bit, but it barely seemed to make an indent.

In response, it began to cast other spells at itself that turned into a cacophony of rainbow lights, and earthly shields covered in dangerous-looking spikes that hovered all around it.

>ALPHA TAURA IS CHARGING UP! 2 ROUNDS REMAINING BEFORE THE ATTACK!

"Well, that certainly doesn't look promising..." Fumi groans, shaking her head and summoning forth her other demon: Fenghuang the phoenix. Sensing its masters will, the great bird flaps its wings, letting loose a huge torrent of wind in Taura's direction.

Elzam frowned at the lack of anything from the persona, then his radio chimed in. Looking down with a smirk he ran off.

"Tch. " Fine then. If this monster wanted to play hardball then Sora could do that. He jumped into the air, hovering there with his Keyblade raised above his head as a tornado formed and made a beeline for Taura. When the funnel disappeared he touched back down on the ground.

"Two minutes. Er, rounds of attacks. I...I don't know what those barriers do yet..."

Latooni stares upward, getting close to panic from lack of time and a creeping feeling she was somehow responsible for this, before her COMP interrupts her. Seeing Ratsel leave, she turns to follow him.

"I'll be right back. Keep hitting her with wind if you can!"

MONSTER CLEAR!
