[Event] Invasion!

[soul_mods]

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!

Mickey nodded. "Glad to see you're alright! Need some help here?" he asked, ducking and weaving through more of the zombies as they came over towards him again. He... probably should've thought of taking a weapon of his own here that way he'd have something to fight with.

[motherofthesun]

She nodded. Help would be wonderful! Or well, a Weapon instead of this...

The manhole shot off her back and nailed a zombie in the head, bouncing high and landing back down where she originally grabbed it.

[kingofdisney]

*And there Mickey was, jumping into the air towards Amaterasu, flipping through the air as he shifted to his weapon form, heading right to her back hilt first.*

[motherofthesun]

Amaterasu looked up and arched her back as her came down, catching Mickey above her back. Her soul already reached to form the resonation.

[kingofdisney]

Mickey's own soul was reaching out towards Amaterasu as well, their souls linking as soon as he reached her back. It was a bit of a hasty connection, but he could definitely feel that it was still solid.

Now all they needed to do was take care of the zombies.

[motherofthesun]

Hasty or not, it's strong enough. She growls at several approaching zombies and leaps, bringing the keyblade around to hit the first in the head with a downward slash. The next two are simply knocked back when she turns left, blade following her motion with a blunt strike across their torsos. It's enough to make them stumble.

[kingofdisney]

Mickey had to admit, being used against actually living creatures really felt weird. Even if the creature's in question wern't actually, you know, alive but just the living dead.

But he couldn't afford to be worried or freaked out now. He needed to make sure that this resonance stayed as Amaterasu continued to swing him around.

[motherofthesun]

"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.

[kingofdisney]

"I know!" Mickey responded back to Amaterasu, focusing a bit more on maintaining the resonation as they continued to fight, his body slamming into the zombies. Trying to ignore the feeling of going through flesh. It'd be the same if he was fighting Kishin eggs after all, wasn't it?

[motherofthesun]

It would be. Still, Mickey at least had his Weapon form and wasn't biting some of these reanimated creatures. Amaterasu grabbed one's shin and allowed the blade to strike continuously until it fell over.

[kingofdisney]

"There's still a ton of them around!" Mickey shouted. Perhaps a bit unnecessarily, but still, that didn't change the fact that even taking out one of the zombies, there were still at least five of them moving to take a bite out of the wolf. "There's one right behind you now!"

[motherofthesun]

"Thank you!"

Amaterasu raised her hind legs and bucked them back, claws knocking the zombie away. With a spin, she allowed the keyblade to twirl around, over her back and away in a ring around her to be a mock barrier, making the zombies stumble away. "Such troubling creatures..."

[kingofdisney]

"They're not going to stop until we destroy their heads or something like that," Mickey said. "I saw one of the other guests here posting about that. I think she's fought these things before."

[motherofthesun]

"Yes. I vaguely remember hearing that post."

She had been preoccupied with a spider at the time and missed most of it. It was enough with the zombies stumbling back to take a shot at their heads, sending them down.

[kingofdisney]

"We might want to try moving away from them," Mickey said. "True using my Weapon ability... though I've never used it in an actual fight yet."

[motherofthesun]

"Well, we can give it a try."

Amaterasu was able to dash through the zombies and reach a clearing easily. Of course, the zombies were moaning and following after them. She just snorted and watched them, unsure exactly what to do now.

[kingofdisney]

Mickey concentrated, concentrating bits of his soul wavelength into the tip of his body. "Point me at the nearest zombie and help shape my wavelength into a projectile!" he explained.

Mickey's ability might not be that fast, but with the Zombie's not caring about self preservation, they weren't going to have to worry about missing as long as Amaterasu's aim was true.

[motherofthesun]

"Alright!"

Amaterasu turned the keyblade and pointed it at the nearest zombie, her wavelength shifting a bit to help shape Mickey's. What form projectile was the only thing she had to wonder.

[kingofdisney]

Mickey concentrated, and sure enough a single small blast of white soul energy shot out of the keyblade towards the zombie. It wasn't moving that fast, but just like Mickey was thinking, the creature made no move to dodge it, the blast hitting it in the head and knocking it to the ground.

Now there were just the rest of the zombies heading towards them to take care of.

[motherofthesun]

Well, that certainly was handy. Amaterasu grinned and turned the keyblade on each and every zombie albeit slowly until they got the hand of this. Shot after shot, but she did check on Mickey.

"How are you holding up?"

[kingofdisney]

Mickey took a deep breath, or whatever passed for a deep breath while he was in his weapon form. "I'm... I'm alright. I can still manage to maintain our resonance here. For now, anyway..."

[motherofthesun]

"I don't want you to become exhausted..."

She doesn't need a weapon to keep fighting.

[kingofdisney]

"I'll be fine! If we don't stop these things who knows how much damage they'll do!"

[motherofthesun]

"Oh yes. At the rate they're going..."

She aimed the Keyblade again and fired at several more zombies.

[kingofdisney]

Mickey concentrated, feeling his wavelength shoot out a few more times before he realized that something was wrong. It was getting a bit harder to maintain the resonance now. He wasn't sure how much longer he could even be able to focus on the resonation now. How could that few shots actually cause him to be this... tired and addled?
