Description: Missions 151 and 152, crossposted to DW



It's snowing in Vienna when the agents come in, and it seems that the situation there had gone from all right to downright crazy in the minute it took for the madness wavelength to sweep the city just an hour before. There is chaos as people run from murderous citizens and the police try to take them down. The prisons are already overflowing, some with people desperate to protect themselves from attack.

It doesn't take long before the first kishin eggs appear, people who accidentally kill others and eat their souls in madness.

She'd heard those claws, but if she wanted to actually be able to find, she had to practice more. Even the slightest bit helped. She'd never wielded a Weapon before, and the connection, along with her new focus, helps to calm her down.

'Okay,' she says, and tries to strengthen the connection, at least on her end. Maybe it'll help her skill; there's only one way to find out, and it really can't hurt it. She keeps his words in mind, and there. That one was much better.

He reacted to her attempt he deepening their contact, letting his soul seep into any cracks and darknesses hers had to offer and empathising the power of her liveliness and light by his own lack thereoff. His weapon-form reacted by making a soft noise as the chain cut through the air, suddenly being a bit lighter to swing and easier to control.

'If you are not sure you migth want to wait until there is little way to miss', he adviced.

At the same time the kishin egg had turned around. Growling and sniffling like a giant hound, it maade its way back to where they were, going a lot slower then before in order not to make the same mistake tice and miss its prey again.

'It knows we're here. I can't afford to wait.' Most likely, that's exactly the wrong kind of attitude. Something down here, though? She throws, again. She doesn't think she's good with it, by any means, but it was better than just standing there. She doesn't know why, it's probably that link, but it's been getting easier, really quickly.

His soul is... cold, an... empty cold, normally the kind of cold that she'd find really creepy. This time, though, it's reassuring, and she nods to herself and throws once more.

'Heh', the strange one-syllaby laugh was the only way Hades reacted with as their opponent finally apeared. More by luck than skill the head of the hammer hits the quadrupedal kishin egg by it's shoulder, breaking it in the process and driving it back with a shriek.

'Fear is what you make of it.' It could be both, a strength or weakness.

Saki almost ignores him, barely trying to send an acknowledgement through the soul link. She doesn't want to underestimate the Kishin, but she's fought monsters before. She can handle this, she knows she can. Its shriek makes her more determined, and she throws again, aiming for its other shoulder.

The kishin egg reeled back awkwardly, revealing a shape that looked like a big furry crocodile with too long legs and an eyeless scull that seems to be made of metal. Part of its teeth are bloodied. It hisses and jumps to the side, snapping after her feet when it lands only to let out another wailing shriek when the meteor hammer connects once more.

Falling to its side with both its front legs broken, he twists in order to keep moving. It's still trying to harm thet Meister and Weapon team.

It's determined, she'll give it that. But she's determined too, and - faster than she thought it'd be, damn. She's not even stopping to aim before throwing the hammer in its direction, choosing to rely on what little resonation they might have.

Be it through Hades' help or not, the meteor hammer manages to find it's goal once more. It does so with a devastating effect and this time there is a crushing sound, a few stubborn last moments of movement as the kishin egg struggles - and then it dissolves into a swirl of black light until only the sickly-red corrupted soul of it remains, floating in the air and illuminating the catacombs with an eery light.

Hades comment to this all is a prominent silence as the god waits for the mortal to react first.
