destinystrings | The Underground Bull: Taurus Battle

With the ability to use another skill by long distance after his healing round, Q uses this opportunity uses a spell (Bullet Time) that would normally allow them to attack twice to give them time to talk with him. The situation was getting worse, not better, and they needed this now. For the next two minutes, everything around them seemed to slow down apart their conversation with him.

"How frustrating!"

"So it's still weak to water, yet Sora's attack barely dented it..."

> BULLET TIME HAS BEEN USED TO GIVE CHARACTERS TIME TO TALK WITH Q. THERE WILL STILL ONLY BE ONE ATTACK THIS ROUND ONCE THAT PART IS OVER.

Feel free to hijack's each other's thread when you talk with him. Figure out the the pattern, why that didn't work and set up a battle plan...or there might not be a tomorrow for you* >B]

(*Actually yes there is or else the game would be dead, but you get the idea.)

The Earth attack slammed into the Wildraubtier and badly damaged the wings, but Latooni quickly and only a little crashingly lands, transforming into humanoid mode to get on the ground and behind some cover.

"The whirlwind attack happened when we all focused wind effects on her weak point...," Latooni observed. "If there was any way to do that with Water, that would be the strategy now, but Sora's the only person with that element available."

His giant elephant creature stood mellow, by his side waiting for the next round of fighting.

"I haven't got a lot of water spells available at the moment. But maybe we can try to force it into the river or something. I've got spells that will help with that."

There's something Q said earlier is kind of bugging him. "Do you think maybe if I tried an earth attack it would help her or hurt her? I mean, what's she need a barrier for it? And she hurt herself with those falling rocks earlier."

"I'm thinking that's preparation mostly," he explained. "And also why I believe there's something that causes the switch. Why put up a barrier like this, if it isn't expecting all of you to do something about it? However, I'm doubtful that's what's best for now..."

The problem is how to cause it.

"Right! A focused attack seems to be the key."

If he's going to use it, then now would be the time. He pointed his Keyblade up at Taura, ready for this. "All right! I'm gonna shrink it to give us a better advantage and you guys hit it with your strongest attacks."

They couldn't give up now -- Sora wouldn't give up now. "She's going down!"

"Oh do calm down, and listen! Shrinking it might help, but if you haven't noticed, hitting it with your strongest attacks isn't doing much of anything!"

"Neither of my Personas are equipped with Water attacks, and none of the demons from my world have attacks of that type at all."

Fumi sneers, clearly reaching the end of her patience with this.

"I can keep us healed, but the countermeasure is going to have to come from the four of you."

She wasn't the only one who was get frustrated by this.

"If only we could organize a switch to the Velvet Room...but even with how it works, it might be too late."

"I don't suppose you have a blue telephone that connects directly to them," Fumi mused. "At this point, I'd even take a red phone that connects to whatever that other place is called."

More rocks slammed into Trombe tearing the cape to shreds and knocking it back a bit.

"Is it possible to use existing water supplies to attack? A water tower or something while the spell casters distract it?"

"An excellent idea! There's the river a while from all of you...maybe sewer pipes that are already out in the open and could be directed..."

"That or... It seemed that the light and dark attacks that fizzled before the wind combination. But send me a list of the sewer pipes and I'll handle it."

Suddenly, their COMP systems burst to life, with the telepathic connection to Q still intact. The video feed displayed a man that looked more like he should be holding a seance than providing help, his every word dramatically acted out by his tone and hand gestures.

"I must speak with you! The time is now! In this most dire of hours, your eyes are blinded by what you see and accept as truth! Remove yourselves from this mortal coil and use the power of within!"

Ohgodswhatthehellwasthisguyon.

"Remove ourselves from this mortal coil? Well, I suppose killing myself is suddenly looking like a rather attractive option."

She's had just about enough of all of this.

One long pause of readjusting her hearing later...

"...is he telling us that we're looking at this the wrong way?"

"...In his usual round-about way, yes."

The way Q said it, it sounded like this had happened many times before.

Many, many, many, MANY times.

"Stop it with the riddles, we don't have time for this!"

"No, I didn't mean taking's one life! It pains me to not have understood this until now, but look beyond the here of now! Think with your souls!"

"...the grand day of your births!"

He probably meant your birthdays.

Probably.

July 3rd. Cancer. Water element. Cardinal sign. Ruled by the Moon. Detriment is Saturn, exaltation Jupiter. What of it?

"AHA! Someone who does understands the deep mysteries of Astrology!" Or, you know, could list them good. "Recall if you will that the great beast threatening the city of Hinoto-Ri was created from one of those signs. To banish it, I believe it MUST be done using the primal element that represents your self as the power rod for the other's!"

"That's all well and good, but if you'd been paying attention at all, you'd know that I don't happen to have the means to produce a Water elemental attack."

"...Astrology?"

Xellos is putting on his best innocent and unknowing face, which given that he feels like being a torturous asshole to this damned bull, is difficult, but he manages.
