[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.

If she were being honest, Aqua had to admit that she was nervous. She had a certain amount of confidence fighting as a Meister. That was something she'd gotten used to.

This was her first time fighting as a Weapon and she wasn't entirely sure what to expect. But the time for doubts was long passed. Right now, she needed to focus.

She nodded at Chika's question before pulling off her own breathing apparatus. "As ready as I can be."
scatterflower: (what?)

Chika frowned a little bit as she looked over at Aqua, but she nodded. She knew exactly what the other girl meant, after all. This wasn't really a normal mission, not even in the least.

He raised her hand, holding it out for Aqua to grab. "Okay then. Let's go get rid of this thing."

She let out a quiet breath.

"All right." Then she was reaching out for Chika's hand and shifting into her Weapon form. It was...different from being a Meister, certainly. But she'll have to just roll with it.
scatterflower: (determined)

Chika nodded, grasping onto Aqua tightly as she shifted into her keyblade form. Alright then. It was time to go ahead.

Chika started walking, keeping an eye out for any of the mutated creatures that were supposed to be here. Or the Kishin Eggs they were supposed to fight.

The way she perceived the world changed the moment she did. That part took some getting used to. Reaching out to form a connection between their souls was the easy part.

Aqua also kept her attention on their surroundings, keeping watch for any dangers that Chika might not spot, especially things coming from their blind-spots.

It wouldn't be long before the sound of something slithering reached their ears.

"Chika."
scatterflower: (annoyed)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2012-09-01 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
"I hear it!" Chika shouted at Aqua's warning, turning her head around towards the direction of the sound of the... whatever it was that was over there. They weren't near the Kishin Eggs just yet, so it was probably one of the local animals that had been changed.

Still, so far she wasn't able to actually see it yet, but she had Aqua ready to strike out as soon as the creature came to attack them.

They wouldn't have to wait long.

After a moment, the head of a giant snake began to emerge from one of the tunnels intersecting the one they were in. It was, as Chika predicted, one of the many creatures twisted by Maddness.

"Be careful."
scatterflower: (determined)

"I will!" Chika shouted, looking over at the massive snake. So far, other than being bigger than most snakes she had seen, it didn't seem too bad.

Shouldn't be too hard to deal with either.

Chika crouched a bit, before running towards the creature, and swinging Aqua's keyblade form over to its side, keeping an eye out for any sudden movements of the creature.
