Phase 3: Mission 153

Characters: Grand Canyon mission goers, victims, medics
Location: Grand Canyon
Rating: R
Time: Feb 5, 2009, mission starts at dawn
Description: Event links list.


The scouts had done their jobs well and the mirror deposits its travelers just at the end of the area Shibusen has closed off as their mission target. It's still dawn, the sun barely visible over the horizon. The witches hasn't noticed them there yet, the scouts say, so it's still possible to take them by surprise.

This is what the agents are told: In the rock face of the Grand Canyon is a cavern system made up of many small caves and three large ones. The large caves contain a kishin egg pit, the kidnapped agents and civilians, and what appears to be a machine at one end. There are about five dozen zombies crawling the area, and an equal number of ants, spiders, and ravens on top of it.

Worst of all, the scouts report that they had sighted a few of the agents patrolling for the Witches. The scouts hadn't been certain if these ones had soul perception or other abilities, and had given the area as much space as they could in order to avoid an early confrontation. Still, it's bad news and it looks like a fight with some of the kidnappees themselves is inevitable.

Not much time is given to the agents after the briefing before they're being ushered into place. A few scouts are going to be causing a commotion some distance away to distract the familiars and zombies, clearing a path for the agents. After that, it's all up to them.


[ooc: Just put up your own threads with the subject line [Characters][Feeding Cave/MMM Cave/Kishin Egg Pit/Elsewhere][Open/Close]
Kidnappees can go thread in the caves while waiting for the rescuers, too.
For those who want to thread with a witch, please add it in the subject line so we know where to go!
This day change will be one week irl.
The mirror will stay open for anyone who needs to be rushed back to the medics.
For those handwaving, please put your summaries here for the meister points and soul tally record.]

[He nods, as he sort of feels a similar feeling regarding holding Shion.

Better not to think too much of it. He has a weapon and he can use it! Which was the most important.

Gives another quick stab to the air. Okay, he feels ready now]

[in his peripheral senses he can feel them working together. it was a good sign, which was better than what else he was sensing. there were a number of souls that were nearby, at least one or two within their immediate vicinity. once they moved forward, all bets were off whether they would be detected. they would just have to try to move quickly and swiftly as possible, with him taking out any from long range if necessary.

but back to Inukashi....hm. his (or her? he never did quite figure it out&mdahs;it was like Crona all over again but it didn't really matter) soul was just as he expected from the personality. but as for the ability...

...interesting.]


Inukashi, your ability can detect the presence of souls. It's not quite the same as Soul Perception, but I'm sure you'll figure out how once we start moving. Most likely it will activate unconsciously, so if you notice or detect anything strange, let me know.

I've also detected a few enemies ahead. I'll take the lead and you will follow close behind. I can do both close and long range attacks, but I'll focus on long range and you can handle any close combat.

We have to move swiftly. If we have to fight, speed will be of the essence. Let's just stay together and we should be able to get through this in one piece.

Understood?

Understood. I'm ready when you are

[Inukashi nods to Kid. Even if he wasn't really used at taking orders, he could see that in this case Kid was quite more experienced than him.

His grip gets tighter on Shion, the adrenaline going through him as he got ready to follow the weird looking guy.]


Okay, take the lead then.
perfectorder: (☠ i will not fall)

[personal profile] perfectorder 2012-03-31 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[nods and without another word they proceed forward. Kid's cautious—with such an inexperienced pair along with him, even his own expertise will be hampered and he doesn't want to jeopardize their assignment.

but of course it won't go as smoothly. they're about to hit some guards, and Kid glances at Inukashi, indicating the danger ahead.]


There are some guards. Just use whatever skills you know and try to take them down as quickly as possible.

Ready?

[personal profile] amellus 2012-04-01 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...ready.

[Now that his icy all consuming rage has been calmed, doubt is rushing in. He doesn't want to fight or kill. But if it gets Nezumi back-]

[Inukashi feels Shion somewhat hesitancy. He thinks about saying something, but he doesn't really know what to say to him.

So he just nods at Kid.]
More than ready. [And in a furtive stance, he allows his mind to clear and analyses his movements.

He runs towards the next wall, where he feels a familiar scent getting closer.

It's those things!? his senses warn him, holding a tighter grip on Shion as he raises the hand holding his weapon to almost touch his chin.

And as soon as something is in reach near that wall, Inukashi gives a quick stab. Not even bothering to look at what shape it was. He knew it was an enemy, his nose was telling him]
perfectorder: (☠ i will shut)

[personal profile] perfectorder 2012-04-01 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[at least Inukashi knew how to fight. as soon as the first one goes down, Kid goes in and shoots down the next one there, sticking close to the other wall.

at least these were more like the lower leveled grunts instead of something more like a kishin egg, but they would probably encounter some later.]


Keep moving and watch your back!

[It was strange, being weilded. Moving without moving. So instead he focuses on watching Inukashi's back, calling out warnings for foes the other's nose might have missed]

For some reason, Inukashi felt Shion doing that. And since he wanted to hush this task as fast as he could, he again makes the furtive stance, leaning forward as he ran.

He could smell it, another two were going to come.

And... something else.
Something familiar.

He gives a jump, using the impulse from his run to pierce the dagger right into the zombies neck, and then give a vertical final cut on him.]

I think I am smelling Nezumi!
perfectorder: (☠ just hold on)

[personal profile] perfectorder 2012-04-03 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[bang bang—down goes another one before Kid looks at him.]

You do?

[that's handy—especially since Kid had no idea what Nezumi's soul was like so he wouldn't have been able to accurately track them down.]

Lead the way, I'll cover you.

[The bit of information make a thrill of that earlier rage run through Shion]

Hurry, Inukashi!
raisedbydogs: (screaming)

[personal profile] raisedbydogs 2012-04-04 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
[He can smell him, he can smell that stinking excuse for an actor scent]

[Left! Inukashi starts running, he feels another smell mixing with Nezumi, the scents getting stronger as 1 giant ant crossed his way.

Okay, this was the other scent, but Nezumi was smelling quite strongly...

wait...]


Oi!!! You stinking actor, are you there? [He shouts, trying to hear something from behind the guard.

The ant starts to advance towards him tho]

[There had been sounds for a while now. Fighting, screaming; nothing too far from the usual sounds that could be heard from the so called 'feeding' chamber, however it had all seemed a little... more intense than usual. For lack of a better word to use.

Nezumi had pushed himself up into the corner of the cell, melding into the shadows in a way he was beginning to wonder could be connected to his so called meister abilities. It would be easier to wait, and watch to see if anything happened. If there was a chance he could take to escape.

... ... He shook his head slightly, ears straining at the sound of a familiar voice, before pushing himself off the wall and slinking around the perimeter of the cell towards the direction the sound was coming from.]


... [He snorted slightly, shaking his head. Who would've thought Inukashi would have come all this wait for little ol' him.]

Careful there, for a second I was almost charmed by your presence.

[personal profile] perfectorder 2012-04-05 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[and he'll be taking care of that rogue ant, the force of the bullets sending it flying to the other side as he edges a little closer.]

Save the reunion for later, we need to get out as quickly as possible.

[and firing a few more shots at another ant as he senses more coming.]
