[OPEN] Mission 155

Characters: Open to those who signed up here.
Location: An unmarked cavern system outside Death City.
Rating: Various.
Time: March 18th, sunrise.
Description: Shibusen agents brave underwater caverns to take out the first of three Madness emitters.

Missiongoers pile out of the mirrors early in the morning, just as the first hints of sun start to color the walls of the sandstone canyon red and purple; it'll be the last bits of real light they'll see for at least a few hours. The atmosphere is electric -- there're quite a few new (and old) arrivals who're eager to see some action, but just as many people who're feeling rather more apprehensive… And for good reason.

The only way to their destination is blocked by a few hundred yards of sunken tunnels. Luckily they've been provided with mouthpieces, breathing apparatuses with enough oxygen to last about ten minutes: more than enough time, provided that the guests don't lose their way in the dimly-lit, twisted caverns. It's as easy as following the person in front of them, right?

Upon emerging safely from the pool onto mostly-dry land, they'll find themselves in an immense cavern, illuminated by countless, blue fungi clinging to the walls and ceiling, looking like stars dotting a night sky. Already the first signs of the way Madness has been corrupting the wildlife are evident: the mushrooms exude strange spores that make some people's head pound the same way the increasingly noticeable Madness wavelength does.

As they travel further into the watery caves and explore its many branches, they'll begin to encounter creatures twisted by Madness: moles, snakes, beetles, centipedes, all grown to monstrous proportions, some with a venomous bite that quickly turns their victim feverish and delirious. The more daring fighters can easily dispatch those and delve even deeper, and it's near the source of the Madness, in the chamber housing the emitter itself, that they'll encounter the kishin eggs.

There're dozens of them-- eyeless, white, vaguely human-shaped things, but despite their blindness they have no problem finding their quarry, fighting with claws and exuding their own Madness wavelength. If the missiongoers can stand strong against the kishin eggs and the ever-present wavelength given off by the Madness emitter, Shibusen's specialists will have enough time to shut the machine down for good.

Sephiroth moved with lightning reflexes to take care of a snake that was attempting to come at him from behind. The ex-General made quick work of the serpent when he impaled the creature, and as it squirmed, he sensed another approaching him.

He didn't glance back at first, and merely withdrew his bladed arm from the beast before shaking the blood off of it and turning to face the SOLDIER. Regarding him quietly, Sephiroth had hoped that all those around would be too busy fighting their enemies to notice the state of his hand.

"I'm fine," Sephiroth murmured. While he wasn't lying, the ex-General didn't elaborate on it either.

In between responses, Genesis himself was able to take care of another large centipede coming after him. But it was visible that he wasn't able to move as smoothly as Sephiroth could. Of course-- that was certain given how far apart they were in terms of their work on the field. While Sephiroth was already drawing close to becoming a superior weapon, Genesis was still at that level wherein his battle-honed reflexes could only do so much to make up for the power of his own weapon.

"It's the first time I've seen you bleed on the field."

He didn't press on the issue of whether or not he was alright. But he did want to draw attention to that fact.

Sephiroth saw the threat of the coming centipede, but remained where he was as Genesis moved to take the creature out. His injured hand clenched at his side when the SOLDIER thought it prudent to point it out. Glancing away from Genesis, he caught sight of Cloud fighting off in the distance before turning his attention elsewhere.

Irritatingly enough, there didn't appear to be any creatures in the immediate area to distract their conversation with, and he inwardly growled at that thought. Half-turning himself away from Genesis, he scanned the walls for the next target as he murmured, "It keeps me focused."

That answer, in itself, would be more than Genesis needed to let the SOLDIER know it was self-inflicted.

Genesis frowned a little at Sephiroth's reply. But at the same time, it gave him a bit of insight as to what was happening to the other man. He kept his distance from him, knowing that the other wouldn't appreciate his closeness on the battlefield. At the same time, it was also a precautionary measure against the effects of the madness wave.

"I see." Genesis decided not to push any further. Nor would be push for any more time spent together for now. It was safer this way. Not to mention that he couldn't leave Edgeworth for too long. He was certain the environment was getting to his meister's nerves.

"Take care of yourself."
