[Event] Invasion!

Characters: OPEN to everyone!
Location: All over Death City
Rating: Various
Time: February 2nd
Description: Witches have invaded and are attacking the city!

The attack, when it comes, happens quickly enough that Death City would have been caught flat-footed had there been no prior warning, but it's not completely unexpected because of the city's heightened state of alarm the past day. Warning sirens start sounding to alert the citizens and guests the moment a dark, slow-moving mass out in the desert to the south-east of Death City is spotted by Shibusen sentries. There's even time for civilians to run and hide before the mass is identified as an army of what looks like decaying, shambling corpses. The city's defenders are slow to move, however; most of them are distracted and are having trouble dealing with the black blood in their bodies. While agents are gathering to head out to deal with the zombie threat, that's when the witches make their move.

Portals begin opening in the skies above the city, disgorging hideous familiars: bulbous spiders and leggy ants the size of dogs. They drop hundreds of feet down into the streets and alleyways of Death City, and scuttle off in search of victims. The spiders are poisonous and can spin copious amounts of web to capture their targets, the ants spit acid that cause agonizing, paralyzing pain. Their masters bear down on the city in a cloud of black shadows--massive ravens strong enough to carry off adult men. There are five witches, women on broomsticks, beautiful if not for their crazed grins and obvious glee at the chaos descending upon the city. At some unknown signal--maybe the cackling from a couple of them--they dive in concert and disappear into different areas of the city.

Their masterful plan has begun!

Haru was enjoying himself. He was laughing madly as he raked his nails across the bits of zombie flesh, easily tearing it off. The arm of one zombie came off so easily in his hands and he used it as a weapon, beating back the others, nimbly dodging their attacks, only to come head to head with one of the spiders.

He was coated in blood, some of it his own but most of it from others. It was a combination of madness, general delight of fighting and pent up tension that needed released. Madness really was the best high; it was the closest to emulating the Fire Candy.

A few zombies went lunging toward him and he side-stepped, kicking them in the direction of the spider. Let them mangle each other. He's too busy having a laughing fit.

Haru looked like something out of a horror movie -- his pale skin and silver hair stained with red, red blood. Some of it dripped from his fingertips, some of it was his own, but most of it belonged to the creatures he'd savagely been mangling -- unleashing the power of a lynx and the speed to match. The ant in front of Megumi -- he didn't see it as a threat to someone innocent, but just another wonderful target he could kill.

He pounced on it from behind, raising the kitchen knife he found in the chaos and driving it down repeatedly into the creature's head. And Haru? Well. He couldn't appear more thrilled.

Saya smiled softly when she saw Amaterasu moving a around "That's good." the girl looked around after and soon her expression turned into a frown. "Death City is going mad. It's far too familiar. "

"So you've become complaisant? What a shame." it really was. No one should go along with Humans. Demona too has lived many years among humans and she eventually came to trust them at some point, but that been a huge mistake she would never do again. And so she no longer would happily live with them.

The stripper eventually found him, however, she stopped before reaching him. Haru seemed to be fine, actually, he seemed to be having the time of his life right now and she feared meddling into that would make him angry. She didn't really care he was so prone to madness and destruction since he was nothing but sweet to her and didn't attack others, but Stripperella definitively worried what that would do to him.

With a sigh, she smiled softly, actually glad he was fine for now. However, when she turned, suddenly there was a ant rushing towards her. With a quick movement, she jumped behind, avoiding the acid. Okay, actually, she could have some fun too. Holding the cane, she rushed to attack the ant, managing to throw it few meters away when she hit the bug.

"Hm~I'm quite the pitcher!"
motherofthesun: ([Event] Nightingale)

Haha, yes, but is he evil? She will send him flying if he is

As their souls reached for each other, Yuuri would feel himself being lifted to hover over her back. When that happened, Amaterasu was able to move, taking several steps backwards as her nose picked up the scent of enemies approaching.

The white soul hovered there, wondering if this would work.

"Arf!"

Yes, everyone was still infected with Black Blood. It's done a good job to catch many of them off guard. She woofed again, but then paused, ears pointing up.

"Yes. If he woke up, he's most likely darting around the city now..." She shook her head, "He could have attempted to contact me over the communicator." They were rather poor at using those to talk.

"It is. The Witches are trying to catch us off guard." Naoto looked up at the sky, taking note of the large crows. Hm... "... Is there anyone else inside the Agency right now?"

Stripperella was rushing through the streets. On her hand she had a cane, though she was fine using her fists and feet; the cane was simply to feel like she had some sort of protection and a weapon to keep away those undead who tried to bite her.

The woman kicked one of those rotting things right in the jaw, which was enough to break it and render its bites useless. And when Stripp was ready to punch another one, a spider came from behind, spitting its web. It captured Stripperella's, forcing her to fall behind "Ack!"

[personal profile] erostripperella 2012-03-17 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
She too had her share of trouble. Fighting off spiders that insisted on trying to wrap their web around her for... whatever reason that she didn't wish to find out, that wasn't an easy task.

Stripperella finished off another one, cursing a bit for web got on her hair "Gross!" but she couldn't get distracted. Other people needed her help, the panic was rising and she didn't want anyone to get hurt.

But that was really gross.

That's when she noticed Captain America. Forgetting her hair for a second, she rushed towards him, jumping in order to kick a ant, right in the head with the heel of her boot.

[personal profile] erostripperella 2012-03-17 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Stripp is too trying to help. She has managed to fight off the enemies, though those crows made it difficult for her. When she has gotten rid of them, finally the woman looks around and notices Luna]

Watch out! [she rushes towards the spiders, and with a jump lands on top of one, th high heel of her boot landing at its head]

"Heh. Dunno about everyone else, but didn't I tell ya before? I gotcha covered!" Natsu pulled and offered his own assistance until he was two sticky arms free -- swinging them around and enjoying his freedom once again. "Alright! Time to kick some monster ass!!" He slammed his fist into his palm -- only to have them stick together. Natsu furrowed his brows and yanked and yanked and yanked until they came apart. Stupid spider web.

But he perked up with a confident expression, "Eheheh, don't worry about me, Curry! Just get yourself outta danger. Need me t'help ya back to your room?"

Now that he was faced with the man, he could see first hand how fragile he looked. And although Natsu knew looks could be deceiving, he couldn't shake the feeling that this guy needed someone to look after him. Maybe it was just because he missed old man Makarov and in a not-really-at-all kind of way, Qilby reminded him of his master. They were both old and that was enough of a similarity for the hot-headed mage. Or maybe it was because he considered himself Qilby's friend after that one conversation about dragons. But whatever the case, he had no intention of letting anything harm the guy. They were allies in this war, after all!

[She wished she was as big - or as hard - as Bumbleebee, but alas, she isn't. Stripp is having a hard time with the ants that had managed to corner her against a wall. While the woman is quite capable of keeping them away for now, she knows it was a matter of time until more showed up.

Still, she didn't give up. Angrily she kicks and punches, and tries not to be hit by the acid they spit]

[personal profile] erostripperella 2012-03-17 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
She had been trying to help citizens against the threat. Zombies weren't what worried her, but those crows kidnapping people were. This wasn't good, at all. With a hit from the cane she had in her possession, Stripp threw a ant away as if it was a baseball, and was ready to do the same to yet another one.

Until she saw Saitou, that was. Was he okay? Getting distracted wasn't smart, because a zombie sneaked up from behind. Stripp had no choice but to crouch and punch the thing in the jaw from beneath... except part of the flesh got stuck to her glove. "Oh my-! Those were expensive, you rotten corpse!" Angrily, she kicked hit to make it fall behind, and after turned to Saitou again.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

[personal profile] sayatakagi 2012-03-17 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
When the female wolf froze and perked up her ears, Saya immediately turned her head around, to search for whatever had called her attention "What is it?"

There was a brief note of disappointment from his side of the resonance, even if both Naoto and Tassadar from earlier were right: As much as he wanted to tangle with a Witch, getting them both killed wasn't going to help any. Kanji had to wince a little, however. Partners... right. He hadn't had the chance to ask Tifa yet.

But he was worried. He hadn't seen the woman since before the funeral, and wondered what she was doing right now. He couldn't find her anywhere.

You see wavelengths better than I can. I don't want a Witch sneakin' up on us. He spoke over the link, pushing down his worries. He had to focus on the here and now, and believe that the others had more than enough wits and strength to see this attack through. Kanji heard wing beats and immediately backed into a wall.

With a snarl, he checked the skies and found another one of those giant ravens making a sweep of the street. Screw that. He took aim and unloaded on the large bird, not stopping until the thing came crashing down into the street in a heap. It took perhaps more shots than needed.

He took another turn, and found an avenue completely devoid of defenders but filled with its fair share of ants. Spilled, abandoned supplies and debris was picked over, mandibles crunching down on anything edible. Handfuls of zombies banged on the building doors groaning dully, completely ignored by the single-minded insects.

Shoulda known these bastards would pop up after slipping that shit in the water. Well, lucky for whoever lived in this neighborhood, a pair was here. Kanji moved in and got to work, focusing on the zombies banging on the doors first.

Kanji worked best unarmed, but to destroy the brain or spinal column, one needed more than their fists. The best he could do, he found, was rely on a heavy melee weapon. Gray eyes checked left, checked right, and grabbed a zombie by the arm, swinging it in an arc and letting go. The dead weight would send a few others toppling down.

"Dunno!" He replied simply, and with a growl brought the pipe down again, slamming it atop a half-deteriorated skull. Kanji winced when a bit of gore hit him in the face. He hated when that happened.

"But that Witch has gotta have limits to how many she can keep goin' at once!" One less zombie, ant, and spider was just one less problem. He was sorely regretting parting ways with Naoto for the time being... paired with a Weapon, either one of the Meisters could single-handedly clear out this street and the surrounding areas.

There was a screech from overhead, and Kanji knew their problems just multiplied.

"Tch! We got incoming! Can you handle the raven? I'll keep this shit back!"

Hades took in the faint impression of the other with metaphorical raise of an eyebrow, but the god was neither surprised nor shocked. If anything he felt that, if any of those vague impressions that he could pick up on were true, they would serve to be entertaining at some time, in one way or another. Or at least have the potential to do so.

In the end it didn't matter. He was a good fit for everyone, just as any existing thing would eventually find its way into his domain. The question was only if they could bear standing that close to the abyss while they were still alive.

Had he been still able to hear Qilby's thoughts, he would have amusedly pointed out that the energies of life and death were the same, only seen from a different point of view. He was Zeus' shadow who found his existence through the one of the god of light, but at the same time there couldn't be any light if there wouldn't be darkness to give it meaning first.

"Hmph. Go ahead. I do not mind." Despite his words there was a certain amusement echoing through his 'voice'. The part of the meteor hammer that was being swung quickly picked up speed, turning from something ridiculous to defend oneself with into a small deadly blow that kept soaring through the air, waiting to happen.

Which was a good thing since the spider had by now shaken off its surprise and was attacking again.

"I see. Well, everyone has the right to decide for their own." Or they should have. He frowned lightly, giving her a hidden thoughtful look. His sense of smell wasn't as good as hers but he had several other senses that were far above human levels. His long ears with their lynx-like tufts of hair on their tips had picked up on the noise of the undead a good while ago. He didn't think they were a reason to react so far. Not when there was somebody more interesting and potentially dangerous in front of him.

Giving her a calculating smile, the demon shrugged, unfurling his wings ever so slightly. "I can understand your decision to keep out of this for now. What I don't get is why you feel the need to point it out to me like that."

Naoto took note of the disappointment, but was glad he soon understand her concern. Still, there was an inkling of worry coming from him. Kanji had a big heart; of course he would be worried about a good number of people he had met here. Still, he had to mask that worry and focus.

I'll keep my senses open.

They certainly didn't need to be ambushed by a Witch. Her eyes narrowed as the crow descended and wasn't bothered by Kanji shooting the thing repeatedly. Those giant birds were trouble; large enough to pick someone up and carry them a distance away. Was that the Witches goal in this chaos? Hm...

When the attention shifted from the giant bird's corpse, her scowl darkened. Insects everywhere along with zombies.

Kanji-kun, if you want me to switch forms, push forward on the trigger. Save it for close range combat situations. Right now, take down as many as you can before they can stray too close.

Shooting that first zombie already drew every other creature towards them.

Demona chuckled "Did you not just say everyone had a side? I simply pointed out how that is not true." or she was simply lurking in order to find someone worth her time. of course nothing of that would be mentioned.

Her eyes didn't move to look at him, though. Demona kept them locked at the end of the block, expecting the group of undead to turn around the corner soon enough. Her wings finally opened and she gave a step forward, so she wouldn't lean against the wall any longer. And finally, Demona's eyes glowed red.

"Mickey, try not to feel terrible about this. These undead are nothing but puppets for darkness. Their souls have long since fled and hearts rotted."

She tackled a zombie with her head and sprung back as it shot away and fell to the ground.

Amaterasu crouched and growled. Looks like they had some ants coming now, crawling through the alleyways and on the walls, antennae twitching and pincers clicking as their heads turned this way and that.

[Bee was a rarity in this place. You wouldn't find anyone else as big and as hard as him. It could be a problem sometimes, but at times like this, when someone like Stripperella was in need, it came in handy. A big hand seemed to come out of nowhere in a sweeping motion to knock a good amount of the ants away from her and into a nearby wall.]

Natsu had been kicking ass and doing a relatively good job at it considering he didn't have a weapon on hand. But eventually, even he couldn't keep up with the spiders and their webs -- getting wrapped up and trapped in the silk. The dragonslayer somehow found himself hoisted onto the creatures back and then carried along the city to god knows where. Anyone who knew the guy would probably find it strange he wasn't putting up much of a fight here.

But anyone who really knew the guy would know exactly what was up.

A few sickened noises emitted from his throat and he looked extremely pale (a bit green, even) -- the life drained right out of him. "Urk...urgh...gonna die."

Motion sickness would take him down. Every. Single. Time.
