The Mighty Obstacle! - Taurus Optional Boss
Who: Kazuya Minegishi
belfire, Hitoshura
demifemme and YOU
Where: Gemini Ward - Near Mictlan
When: 26th April, 13th Hour
Summary: Kazuya and Hitoshura, giving into demonic urges to conquer humanity for Demon Kind. Time to detain the Demon King and Hell's General before Hinoto-Ri is destroyed! Brave heroes, rise up against them and their demonic legion!
Warnings: Lots of violence, demons, and gruesome injuries.
The Gemini district was in absolute chaos.
Well, the entirety of Hinoto-Ri was in chaos - especially as the Taurus Boss had now descended upon the unlucky five of heroes - but Gemini was different. The hostile demonic population of the 13th Hour was swelling at an alarming rate there, spilling over into the neighbouring districts and attacking all those that they came across - no matter their star sign or status. It added more confusion and panic to an already dangerous situation, and those who were not occupied with defeating the crazed Earth Signs, or the bull monsters, attempted to stem the invasion of hostile demons - with varying success.
What was causing this? Was it part of the Zodiac Event? Some other 'Final Boss'?
Well...
In the midst of the chaos, Kazuya and Shura whipped up the local demon horde into a frenzy. Humanity's souls must be polished by the strains of war! Humanity must be made pure by the blaze of blood and fire! Humanity should relinquish control of the city to those born to rule - to lead - the King of Bel and Hell's General! The 13th Hour had caused their demonic side to spiral out of control, and now it seemed like they were going to mount a full on invasion onto Hinoto-Ri!
Who is willing to plunge deep into the mess of demons to face them? Who is brave enough to stand up to the dreaded Atlus Optional Bosses? Who is crazy enough to try and kick some asses?!
Well, that would be you, visitors.
THEME MUSIC!
[[OOC: Alright! It's game time! While we have five heroes dealing with the final boss, there's this optional boss fight open to those who are interested! You can fight and NPC demons, as well as fight against Shura and Kazuya! The name of the game is to detain them in any way possible, even if you have to snap their legs to do it. Don't bother being gentle. They can take whatever abuse you throw their way!
For the list of demons that will be milling about, here is a handy dandy list prepared beforehand! Refer to this when needed. I'll be NPCing some demons when required (such as for those who are GREEN for damage levels), but you're free to NPC some in your tags as well!
If you need contact me or Shura about how a thread's going or something, don't hesitate to PM me on my Kazuya journal, or KivaEmber on plurk!]

tl;dr is always ok
I'm not going to fight you.
[Not if he didn't have to, anyway. Katsu wasn't like this at all, he was kind and gentle and he'd never shown an interest in controlling the demons like this. It was this event, it was messing with his head, that was the only explanation the vampire could think of.]
It is Katsu, right, not one of the...[What had he called them?] Bels I'm talking to?
[Because that would make sense too. If one of the demons he'd talked about had taken over, that would offer a good explanation.
He tried not to let himself wonder if it was, perhaps, Belial he was talking to.]
no subject
[Kazuya had to laugh at that - who was this guy? To know the Bels, but call him by another name? Maybe - oh, there were alternative versions, weren't there? In this world, people duplicated... so he knew another Kazuya? Another Kazuya... another...]
I'm Kazuya. Katsu. Yeah. The Bels are here too - you wanna talk to them? Sorry, nah, no can do! I'm sitting on top of the pile, so I won't give it up.
[He dropped his hands, and he seemed to be rocking side to side as he spoke, his gaze eerily intent on Johnny. His eyes were heavy-lidded though, almost giving the impression that he was half-asleep]
Free blow has a time limit, you know. Five minutes. Then you forfeit your turn. You gonna fill it with talkin' or offers for tea?
no subject
[Otoha jumped down from the street light he'd perched on, sword drawn. He grinned, and raced at Kazuya.]
[He disappeared in a puff of slightly alcoholic-smelling smoke. To him, everything seemed frozen for four seconds, during which he reached Kazuya and attempted to slash him across the chest before jumping back.]
[He reappeared, and raced back towards Johnny to stand near him.]
no subject
He was about to answer when a familiar voice cut through his thoughts.]
No-!
[He watched Otoha run at the boy and then almost glitch before he was back at the vampire's side. As soon as he was within reach, Johnny moved in front of Otoha and put his hands on the man's shoulders as if to restrain him.]
Don't hurt him, I want to try and talk to him. Please.
no subject
[Kazuya only blinked, and then he was sensing something slipping between - between the cracks, Jezebel said, slow king - and a sharp pain blossomed over his chest. He whined, taking a step back, blinking a bit fuzzily when a man appeared beside the other man.
He totally ignored them while they talked. He pressed a hand against his chest, feeling hot blood against his palm, and lifted it up to stare at it curiously. Weird. It felt hotter. Ah, ow, the wound was burning too...
Ow... ow ow ow....]
Ngh... that's, ow, Belial...
[The wound that Otoha left behind - stark behind the ripped fabric of his shirt - started closing up with a quiet hiss, the dark blood bubbling a bit from the heat. Belial was the one behind immediate regeneration, but he was never gentle about it. Kazuya always felt like someone was stabbing a brand iron into the wound.
Abruptly he straightened up from his pained hunch, his gaze pinning on Otoha immediately as a low, inhuman growl bubbled up in his throat. Even his voice came out deeper than usual]
That's a foul. It wasn't your turn!
no subject
Do I look like I care, kid?
[He glared at Johnny, taking a step back to duck out of his grip.]
Johnny, what the hell? He invites you to a showdown and you don't take the chance?
[This was just how it worked. Peaceful solutions weren't going to happen here. He didn't look like someone who wanted to talk it out. He switched his gaze back to Kazuya.]
You wanna go, brat? You or your little crew? Because it's looking like you're just blowing hot air right now.
[Ugh. He hated slipping into this speech pattern. Even though he kept his stance loose, his jaw was clenched a bit. It sounded too much like his father for comfort.]
no subject
Maybe he was being a fool for trying, but he couldn't just fight without attempting to talk first, even if it only got him injured in the end.]
Kazuya, this needs to stop. People are going to get hurt and you don't want that; you don't even like using this power, certainly not like this.
I don't want to see you get hurt.
no subject
You're talking like you know me~ I'm suspicious. How do you know how I want to wield my power? Don't like it? Have you - even felt it when you can, just, eradicate something from existence? Just, gone. You can get rid of everything, anything, everything that threatens you, everything that hurts you...
[He stared at his hands, an unreadable expression on his face]
I don't feel pain anymore. I don't feel emotions anymore. So why bother keeping to human morals? There's no point to it! All I need is myself, my demons, and those who didn't abandon me! That's it!
[He swept his arms out - and the demons around him howled in murderous joy. He was grinning widely, his eyes almost crazed]
Being human brings you nothing but unnecessary agony! So - I should just get rid of it all!
...i am so sorry for this
Guess someone heard that last bit, because here comes a new challenger! Desco looks over at her uncles to make sure they're okay before directly addressing Kazuya.
"I am DESCO, THE FINAL BOSS! And everything in this city belongs to me! You can't break it without my permission!"
A slight pause as she takes in Kazuya's features, and her furious scowl suddenly changes into a look of realization as she points one claw at him in surprise.
"Ah! You're that other guy!"
With that, she whirls around to face Johnny and Otoha, carefully keeping the eyes on the back of her tentacled bulk trained on Kazuya as she flails around panickly babbling to the other two.
"Uncle Otoha, we can't kill him! Desco likes him because he kisses his boyfriend in public! Can we just please stop him, so Desco can get more free shows?"
...it kind of feels like all the drama has gone out of this confrontation, hasn't it?
no subject
[Otoha's expression turned cold. He stepped forward, his sword still gripped tightly. He'd thought about going easy on him... but then he'd had to say that last line.]
I've never felt pain before. Emotions are hard to tell, too. I've lived as a monster most of my life. But if you're going to try to wipe out the humans from this city, I will protect it with my life!
[Yatagarasu spread out from his shadow and then flared behind him, screeching and cawing. Something in him stirred - he still couldn't unlock it without his yurine, but the large bump on the hilt of his blade shuddered slightly.]
This is not my city. But lacking the presence of another Karas, I'm going to protect it. It's my job to keep the humans and demons in balance, and I've already fought someone who tried to wipe out all of the humans.
So let's go!
[He raced forward, Yatagarasu chasing behind, attempting to get in another slash while Yatagarasu went for a Blade of Fury.]
no subject
[He knew she was strong, but his protectiveness won out on that request and Ramiel cast a Black Wall on her in reflection of his concern.
But then Otoha was off and he barely had time to hesitate before his own enhanced speed kicked in and he moved to intercept the man's blade with his own, Ramiel similarly moving in front of Yatagarasu.]
Please! I need to try. If I can't get through to him...then I won't stop you.
[He didn't move from where he was, insurance that Otoha wouldn't try again, but directed his words to the boy.]
Kazuya, I know it's difficult and I understand that you feel like you're alone, but you're not, there's always someone, whether you realize it or not. Destroying all of the humans will only ensure that you will be alone.
[The memory of a conversation ran through his mind and he hesitated slightly. They hadn't had that conversation...but the possibility the desire still applied and would help was enough for Johnny to use it.]
You won't remember it and it might sound strange, but you told me once that all you wanted was to be you and not the king of demons or the messiah or Abel, just Kazuya. Do you really want to do this?
[He shot a look that said 'don't move' at Otoha and stepped away to move closer to Kazuya.]
Don't let one 'addition' undermine the whole.
tl;dr cough
[Kazuya seemed to take Desco's appearance in stride, dropping his hands and tilting his head when Otoha moved to attack him. Again, he didn't even seem fazed, his gaze shifted from Otoha's cold expression to Johnny before him. Kazuya was smiling, but there was something off with it.]
I really don't know you.
[He turned away abruptly, walking away a few paces, his cape fluttering a bit from the movement. He stopped, and he shifted slightly, back still to the other three]
You know, I gave up my humanity for them, all of them. I called off the demons, I saved them, and all it needed was me to rip out everything that made me human. I was fine with that, even if everyone left me, because I was doing the right thing. Noble and all that crap.
[He turned around, hand on hip and gesturing with the other, his grin almost lazy]
So what happens? Everyone hated me. Everyone turned on me. Monster! Please die! It's the Overlord, run away! Disgusting creature! After I saved them. After I gave up everything for them. And even then, I let them do it - they were just scared, right? I let them attack me, but didn't attack them, trying to show that I was all for them!
[As Kazuya spoke his expression grew darker and darker]
So I went all through that day being the goody two shoes. I saved everyone, then had to leave the human world to fight some asshole I didn't even know or care about, for humanity. And you know what? It doesn't matter that I wanna be Kazuya, coz I can't be Kazuya anymore! I'm King of Bel, and that's the only thing that I have left!
[Dark red energy began to gather on his palms, and his eyes were burning a bit brighter. He laughed quietly, lifting them up high above his head, fingers twisting until a small orb gathered between his palms - a miniature sun. He continued to speak]
I hated every moment of it. I said I was fine with it, that it was for the good of everyone, but I hated it. I wanted to just kill everyone. I just wanted to disappear. But that's getting too personal. What Kazuya wants no longer applies, no longer exists, I guess. I can't call myself him anymore. I'm just some fucking cutout pretending to be him.
[The small orb was burning bright at this point, and Kazuya made a clawing gesture with his fingers, crushing it down until it was all but vibrating from the pressure]
You know... it was kind of good to vent. I feel loads better.
[His hands paused, and he lowered them, the little orb humming in his palms. He rolled it between his hands, and tilted his head, smile gentle]
Thanks.
[Then he tossed the orb casually over towards Johnny and Otoha - a high pitched whine beginning to emit for it. Explosion in T-Minus three, two, one...]
no subject
Okay, she is a little upset.
On the other claw: despite everything else, Desco knows with absolute certainty that when compared to her, both of her uncles were terrifyingly fragile. As Kazuya lobs the ball of flames at them, Desco rockets in the way of the attack - better that she take a little damage than having to see Otoha in the hospital again.
As she reaches the attack, her child body kicks off from her tentacled bulk to drop directly on top of the fireball, while her tentacles stretch out to form a wall between the flames and their original targets.
The resulting pillar of fire completely obscures Desco's small form. Behind this scene, her tentacled bulk slowly floats forward, the primary tentacles gaping open, each one generating a small sphere of light. As the maws on each tentacle snap shut, the spheres dissolve into a pair of short-range shockwaves, blasting the flames away.
A very small portion of Desco's purple hair is singed black. She lifts it up with two claws and regards it with the third eye set in her forehead before looking up at Kazuya.
"Desco was going to boast about how nothing you could do would be able to harm her, but she actually felt that! Desco congratulates you for actually being able to harm her!"
She sounds completely sincere as she says this. There's a brief pause as she docks with her tentacles again and slowly levitates into the air before continuing.
"Desco has taken more damage from cat scratches, but you still did a good job!"
no subject
Let me do my damn job.
[But he shut up, watching the others as they made their little speeches.]
[As Desco moved to intercept the attack, though, he attempted to move past Johnny, but it was too late.]
Desco!
[... But then the explosion faded and she was left... perfectly fine. ... Huh.]
no subject
His eyes moved to Kazuya and his expression was momentarily sad and pitying before it shifted to neutral.]
Fine. I see that's not going to work, then.
[As much as he might want to help Kazuya with only words, he had a bigger responsibility to the family he had right now than to the ghost of one.]
I only hope stopping you helps.
[He dashed forward, this time intent on sending his sword through Kazuya's shoulder in an attempt to incapacitate him while the angel overhead joined him to attack with Swift Strike.]
no subject
[Kazuya looked mildly disgruntled that Desco had blocked the attack, his eyes sliding half-closed. Well, he singed the brat at least, but, he could do loads more. That'd been a little play ball- oh wait that guy was-
Jolting back into the present, Kazuya grinned viciously and - lunged forwards to meet Johnny half way. The blade bit into his shoulder and pierced right through. Kazuya didn't even flinch or cry out - dark blood spurted from the wound, and when it touched bare skin, it hissed and bubbled like tar. Kazuya even grabbed onto Johnny's wrist to keep him in place, forcing the blade to dig deeper into his shoulder with a wet squelching noise.
In that same instance, Johnny's Persona was met with bright blast of energy that struck it firmly on the chest. Behind Kazuya was his own Persona - the Angel Samyaza - its grey mottled wings spread out wide and its cold face set into a cruel smile. Holy Arrow had struck true]
If you stop me... [a low purr] Then do me a solid and make sure it's a permanent stop, huh?
[With that, the hand hanging down by his side - the hand belonging to the currently skewered shoulder - was suddenly wreathed in flames, darting up in a sharp movement to plunge deep into Johnny's stomach]
no subject
Desco flies over to Johnny, a blue glow like shards of shattered glass trailing behind her as she summons her newest Persona - Lakshmi - and casts Diarahan on him. She changes her orientation and uses Usatako as a launching pad to hurl her child body at Kazuya, latching onto his wounded shoulder with her mouth and digging in with her serrated, shark-like teeth. As Usatako catches up, she starts speaking out of the two primary tentacles on the top of the bulk.
"Y̴̷͏Ǫ͠U̶ ̀M̢̕͜I̛͜S̕Ȩ͝R̴̡̨À͜B̧͜͜L͞Ȩ̴,̴̕ ̕͢IN͞S̀I̶̢G͝͡N͏͝IF̸Į͠C̷͜A̵͟N̷͠T̛̀ ̴̨S̕҉PE̵CK̨.̸ ͡͝ ̶̴Ḩ͡ƠW҉҉ ́DA͜͝҉R̡̀E͠ ̕͜Y̶͜O̕͡U̧.̷̛ ̕K͠N̕͝O͞Ẁ̨͟ ͡T̴̡̛H̴E҉ ̶͞WR̀͞AT̨H̨ ̡́O̴F̸̛̀ ͢T̵͘H̶́E͜͟ ͠T͢҉R͞U͠E̛ F҉͏I̢NA̶̸L B̧̕ÓŞ̶S,͝ ҉̶T̸͝H̢͟E ̕Q́͞ỨE͏̴̀Ȩ͞Ń̡͢ ̸̷̨O̕͟F͝ ̛͡͝D̶A̧̨͢R͜K͜͜͡N͢҉ES̸̀S̴ ͞D͝E̸͠S̴C͟Ǫ͜͡!҉҉̕"
no subject
Back. Down. Now.
no subject
The flash of Desco and the healing spell that blessedly lessened the pain followed by Otoha appearing behind Kazuya was both worrying and-on a more selfish level-comforting. It also spurred him to bring his free hand to Kazuya's other shoulder and dig his suddenly claw-like nails deep into skin and muscle; the blood burned and the vampire winced, but he didn't back down.]
Do what he says...back down...or I'll rip your arm off.
Don't think I can't or won't.
Fire of Sodom - PHYS/FIRE
He groaned as if from frustration, tilting his head back and leaving his throat completely bare, Otoha's blade pressing close to his Adam's apple]
Geeze, you're all fuckin' crowding me. How's this fair... three against one... hnn...
[He curled his fingers inside of Johnny, and it felt like he was trying to grab fistful of worms, the vampire's insides slippery and warm. Kazuya dropped his head down again, his eyes bright with something like excitement, a small laugh leaving him]
Got it.
[What happened next was quite simple - Kazuya spontaneously combusted. Flames exploded outwards from him, licking and roaring over his body - but didn't burn his clothes or skin. It lasted only for a few moments, however, for the fire pulsed then-
From the sky came the Fire of Sodom. That's right. SMT version of Comet spell. Impact of three massive fireballs in three...two...one...]
Bite - PHYS
Desco, naturally, flinches, her jaw reflexively clenching. There's a scraping sound as her fangs hit bone, and a disgusted shudder runs through her frame.
no subject
[He'd deal with injuries later. It didn't matter right now.]
Kid. One last warning before I start chopping vital parts off. Even if you can regenerate, regrowing a dick won't be fun, I think.
[Hey, the kid was a teenager. It was a valid threat.]
no subject
Johnny flinched at the flames and sudden onslaught of fireballs, but his grip only tightened on Kazuya's shoulder.]
I warned you.
[His eyes flashed, almost as though their golden color brightened for a moment, and he ripped through flesh and sinew, severing arm from shoulder.
In the same motion, he wrenched himself away from the teen, leaving his sword embedded in Kazuya's other shoulder as he grabbed the arm in his stomach and pulled it out.
Sadly, his intestines didn't go with him; anther sight he was all too familiar with between Barry and Belial. He wrapped an arm around the hole in his gut and went to his knees, more in an effort to keep things where they were supposed to be more than his knees buckling.
He had the brief thought to whip Kaz' legs out from under him, but decided it was too much movement for someone not 'structurally sound.' Besides, that sharp a movement would probably make Otoha's blade dig right into the teen's throat, and that was the opposite of what Johnny wanted.]
no subject
His face was ashen, and briefly, the earlier madness was gone. He look more like a pained, young teenager, a small shudder racking his scrawny frame]
...a-ahh...
[The noise was animal like. A whine. Then he was gone, the air where he'd been crackling with black energy as he teleported away from the trio - and successfully leaving Desco hovering in mid-air, although he had to leave a chunk of his shoulder behind in her mouth to do that.
He didn't teleport far however, only a few feet, and immediately staggered a few steps before falling to his knees, letting out harsh, near inhuman noises, hissing and growls as he clawed at the stump where his arm had been.
His arm was still intact though. He just... needed to grab it. Stick it back on, right? Yeah. It was fine. It was fine. Fucking hell his arm was gone. Kazuya's head was spinning. Demons were pretty blase about lose limbs, but it was still a terrible shock to Kazuya. It only happened once before, although this time he was dealing with it better. Last time he had screamed for several minutes straight from the trauma]
...sshh....shhnn....
[Then Kazuya's voice pitched into a loud wail, very much like a young animal calling to its mother]
Shuuuuuuuuuuraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
no subject
Then she whips the chunk of shoulder at Kazuya's head like a fastball.
