[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.

It was then that Fuuka realized how much she depended on her persona. It's quite funny, Juno had the ability to predict what would happen next. However, with her gone, she should have known better. Just calm down, Fuuka, she told herself, just believe in yourself and everything will be fine.

There was a small smile. "Yes you are right. I'm afraid that...I don't have much medical knowledge outside of what I was taught. I never been to a real battle field but I have heard stories about what doctors would do." And some other things reading from textbooks.

She raised an eyebrow once Yuri made a bow. Oh wow, she was not use to something like this. "Y-You don't need to bow like that, your name was enough!" Now Fuuka was flailing a bit.

[personal profile] hand_of_judgement 2012-08-26 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
His expression softened at her admittance, and he offered her a kind smile in return. "Unfortunately only practice in real-life situations can properly prepare you for what's to come," Yuri softly murmured before gesturing back towards the camp and the others there. "But do not forget that you are not alone here. If you need help, there are many here who would gladly offer it."

He didn't excuse his actions, and it was a level of politeness the Judge would continue to maintain regardless of how many times they met. That was why he simply smiled pleasantly at her but said nothing about it. Instead he asked, "Were you just recently pulled here?"
yamagishi: (And the bad unhappily)

[personal profile] yamagishi 2012-08-26 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuuka chuckles a bit. Yes, she wasn't alone here, Yuri was there to help her along with many others. It was strange to think that even after being in a team for so long, there were times when she felt so lonely. "Yes, of course, I'll ask for help. I wouldn't want to endanger anymore lives here if there's nothing I can do." Although she was sure there was something but she wasn't sure what.

"Recently pulled...oh, you mean when I first arrived? I believe it was 3 days ago?" Yes, she was pretty sure. She had seen that creepy moon at least 3 times...

"With an outlook like that, I believe that any patients will be in good hands." With luck, though, they wouldn't have to worry about anyone being injured, but then again, he wasn't so foolish as to delude himself into thinking that it wouldn't happen either. Even the strongest of NEXT got injured during difficult battles. Which was a thought that drew his attention to the scar he now had on his shoulder from one of his own difficult battles.

"It is unfortunate that you weren't able to regain your breath before finding yourself thrown into a dangerous battle," Yuri sympathetically murmured. Yet he felt his muscles tense lightly when he sensed something amiss on the air.

[ooc: What animal would you like? Moles, snakes, beetles, or centipedes attacking the camp? :D ]
yamagishi: (Fearing her decaying body)

[personal profile] yamagishi 2012-08-27 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
She wasn't use to compliments, she was use to hearing criticisms from her parents and from other people. She kept her smile once she heard Yuri's words. "Thank you, I want to do the best that I can with these patients." She didn't want to be a doctor but until she can find something else to do...

"It's okay, I'm use to this." If her battles against the shadows were anything.

While she doesn't know Yuri that well, she could tell that something was wrong. Even without Juno, Fuuka could tell that something was going to happen. She just wasn't sure what. She better get ready.

[ooc: Surprise me!]

[personal profile] hand_of_judgement 2012-08-27 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yuri was about to say something further when that dull warning at the back of his mind suddenly turned into a full-out siren. He reacted automatically as he was suddenly grabbing at Fuuka to push her out of the way. For someone who worked behind a desk, his reflexes were surprisingly good and agile as he moved to avoid the strike that aimed for her location.

He stumbled back as a giant beetle swiped with its sharp mandible. Yet when it realised it had missed its mark, the beetle's drooling mouth opened wide to emit a high-pitched screech as it pinned its compound eyes on the pair. The insect was easily twice their size, and without a doubt, looking to make a meal out of the pair.
yamagishi: (A tedious pack of people)

[personal profile] yamagishi 2012-08-27 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Before Fuuka could react, she felt the force of Yuri's push. Once she asked what was wrong, she found herself meeting a giant beetle. As she got up, she looked around the medic tent to see if there was anything useful to help fight against this monster.

As she looked around, there wasn't much. Instead, she found herself helpless. Quick, what can you do? "Petrov-san, are you a meister or a weapon?" She wasn't sure what she can do as an EMF meter but it was worth a shot.

[personal profile] hand_of_judgement 2012-08-28 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
He loathed the thought of acting in such a way in front of women, and just as he managed to narrowly save her from the creature attacking them, the Judge couldn't help but find his memories delving back to the days of his abusive father. He had promised that he would never react in such a way, that he would always be a force for justice and punish those who believed they could get away with crimes. Yet here he was reacting in the exact same manner that his father had. Would he turn out like him as well?

Yuri pushed such thoughts from his mind when he heard Fuuka call out behind him. He couldn't bring himself to look at her, but instead he stepped protectively in front of them when it appeared the giant beetle was going to attack them.

"I cannot resonate with others," he said through gritted teeth. There was no chance that he could allow someone that close to him, not now, not ever. Especially not when his mind was attempting to pull him back down within them. That was something he couldn't risk.

Yet as he felt his blood beginning to pump, their enemy already lurching in to attack them again, the world around him seemed to shift and change as he could actually see the souls of those around him - including the beast in front of them now.

"There should be scalpels within the medic supplies," Yuri offered while refusing to turn and face her. "The path behind us is clear all the way to them, but that won't remain. I can already seè more coming."
yamagishi: (Help! I'm Being Repressed!)

[personal profile] yamagishi 2012-08-29 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Even though Yuri pushed her to the side, Fuuka had no ill feelings toward him. After all, he was protecting her from that beetle when there was nothing she could do. All that mattered right now was to see if he was okay and figure out how to get rid of the monster in front of them before anything else happens.

She didn't mind that he wasn't looking at her, he needed to keep an eye on the creature. Still, she was panicking when it looked like it was going to attack.

"Ah..." So does that mean he's a weapon? Who knows but she quickly goes through the medical supplies somewhere. She didn't want to see Yuri die, no, not right in front of her. She has seen one death too many and if this was something she could do, so be it.

She rushed toward the back to look for all the scalpels she could find. The problem was finding which box it was in. With no time to waste, she dumped all the boxes until she found what she was looking for.

However, she does look back from time to time to see how Yuri was doing.

[personal profile] hand_of_judgement 2012-08-29 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
There was a flash in the corner of his vision, and he leapt out to the side just in time to miss the incoming swipe in his location. Jumping back, Yuri did what he could to keep the beetle's attention fixated on him as Fuuka dropped the instruments on the ground to find something they could use.

A scalpel was small, and it would be difficult, but the Judge believed that he had justice on his side and thus would never lose. That was the faith that had him subtly smirking at the creature when the beetle rushed towards him.

He kept Fuuka's progress in mind as he used sharp twists and turns to keep himself just out of reach of their enemy's sharp limbs. Yet when it appeared that Fuuka had found something, he ran to slide around the large beetle as he calmly called out, "This way."
yamagishi: (That is their tragedy)

[personal profile] yamagishi 2012-08-30 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Fuuka kept switching her field of vision to Yuri and back to the boxes. It was difficult to manage but if he were to get hurt, Fuuka would push him out of the way so he wouldn't get hurt.

With each turn and twist, Fuuka found herself panicking to find the scalpels as quickly as she could. Why was this taking longer than she thought? It wouldn't be this difficult to find a box of them!

Eventually, once she did, she heard his voice. "This...way?" With no other choice, she quickly went with him to avoid danger.

[personal profile] hand_of_judgement 2012-08-30 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
This wasn't a situation that he wanted to find himself in. There were too many variables, and he hadn't been prepared for this type of battle. No, it was quite the opposite. So while the beetle was attempting to find where he'd gone, he urged Fuuka to make a dash for his direction.

It was fortunate as well as it seemed that they'd gained the attention of another enemy.

When she was closer to him, Yuri gestured for her to keep following as he began running the opposite direction. "Did you find one?" Yuri asked while he ran, even if he had seen something within her hand.
yamagishi: (And so I pray)

[personal profile] yamagishi 2012-08-30 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
She nodded as she handed two scalpels toward Yuri. She needed to stay calm and try to relax as much as she could. She didn't want to make any mistakes now that they were in danger.

Was this how Minato and the others felt whenever they were out fighting shadows? Usually, she sat on the sidelines and watched but she was never actively in the field. Now that she was, it was certainly a lot different. Yuri was still fighting but here she was, in the background once more.

"Be careful, don't try to get yourself hurt." Better said than done.

[personal profile] hand_of_judgement 2012-08-31 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yuri reached out to snap up the scalpel's while offering Fuuka an appreciative nod. He half-spun himself back around to face the charging beetle before his gaze slid over it looking for any signs of a weak point. "I will do what I can," he called out in reply, and with a quick flick of his wrist, he tossed the scalpel towards the creature's eye.

It screeched out a howl, which Yuri took as his indication to attack. Darting in, the Judge narrowly avoided the swipe of sharp limbs, Yuri slid around the beast to get behind it. He knew well that his small weapon would be useless if he attacked it from head on, so he came at the creature from behind instead. With his scalpel bared, he leapt up to try and embed the blade into the back of the insect's head. If he could get a good grip, then he could deal some damage.
yamagishi: (You must not think that I am wicked)

[personal profile] yamagishi 2012-08-31 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
She quickly covered her ears once she heard the howl from the giant beetle. However, she could still 'hear' some of his attacks simply by just watching what was going on. Just who was Yuri anyway? If he was able to attack it with just two scalpels...even most soldiers would have trouble with that.

She back away from the action but she did look around to see if there were anymore of those beetles running around. Was it just her or could she hear another one in the back? With nowhere else to go, she found herself trapped once more.

Quickly, looking around, she picked one of the empty boxes as protection. It wasn't much but she had to do something.

[personal profile] hand_of_judgement 2012-09-01 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
He had little choice but to leap away from the oversized insect when it seemed to semi-recover from its injuries. Landing a few feet from the beast, he saw Fuuka running for cover from the corner of his eye. He couldn't prolong this attack any longer than it had already gone, but his weapons were rather limited.

So as the beetle came rampaging in, its bodily fluids leaking from the wounds it had sustained, Yuri ran at it head on. It was only as he neared the beetle, and it moved to swipe him again, that he dodged out to its blind side before leaping up to plunge the other scalpel into its remaining eye. He might not be able to kill it, but if it was blinded, then it couldn't find them with ease. Then someone else could take care of the beast.

His plan seemed to work as he landed back on the ground, scalpel in hand. While he would have preferred reclaiming that second one, the Judge didn't want to risk injury doing so. Besides, as he glanced around, he caught a flicker of something moving behind one of the tents near where Fuuka was hiding. Taking off in that direction, he moved swiftly to slot himself somewhere between his target and Fuuka.

[ooc: if she transforms without him knowing, he could very easily mistake her for a device laying around that he could use to fight with! It's just an idea if you'd like for her to discover anything :D Yuri won't like it, but so long as he doesn't know to begin with, then that's okay xD ]
yamagishi: (What horrid clothes you have on!)

[personal profile] yamagishi 2012-09-01 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ooc: Haha, I was thinking of her transforming right now!]

As soon as Fuuka took one of the boxes, there were sounds coming from behind her. Was it another beetle? When she turned around, there was nothing. Keeping her guard up, she placed the box in front of her as though she was going to throw it.

Just then, something jumped out of nowhere, another one of those creatures decided to surprise Fuuka from the side. Quickly, she tried to move to the side but she only managed to escape with rather large cut from her arm. She had no choice but to drop the box as she was trying to cover it up.

As she landed on the ground, the beetle was staring straight at her. Was she going to die here? Before she could even finish her thought, the monster went after her. In a desperate attempt to save herself, she jumped to the right. However, something else happened. Before she even knew it, she found herself staring up at the ceiling. ...What just happened?

[personal profile] hand_of_judgement 2012-09-01 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ooc: well that works out for us! I'll have him not notice her transformation :D They won't resonate well, but it should be enough to get them to safety :D Also, I just wanted to check her weapon abilities on your journal account, but it seems that you haven't updated it with the changes the mods asked for.]

He hadn't been expecting a third to come out, but with himself already placed between Fuuka, Yuri couldn't turn his back on the beetle in front of him. He'd just have to keep an eye out for both. That was why he launched himself towards the second insect. If he could wipe one of them out of the battle, then he'd just have that last one to fight again.

This would have been far easier if he'd had his NEXT ability, but he had to make do with what he had. So as he rapidly drew nearer, Yuri flicked his wrist out to throw the scalpel in a hopes that it would hit against the creature's eye. His aim continued to run true as the weapon hit its mark, and while it was far from dead, it was disabled enough for now for him to try and aid Fuuka. He skidded to a halt before rapidly changing directions. His eyes widened as he caught sight of blood dripping from the insect's limb.

Gritting his teeth, he pushed himself to run faster as he dashed over to where he'd last saw Fuuka. Maybe she'd fallen behind those boxes? It wouldn't do well to allow any harm to come to her if she could help it. Yet as he pushed himself faster, he couldn't find any sight of her. That thought left a pit of worry knotting in his stomach, even as he leapt up to land a punch to the side of the beetle's face when it seemed to be going for something.

Landing with some form of machine at his feet, the Judge knew that he didn't have much time to act. Yet without anything to defend himself with, he was left with little option. That was why as the beetle regained its sense, he snapped his hand down to grab at the machine with the intention of using it as a weapon to fight the insect with.
yamagishi: (That is their tragedy)

[personal profile] yamagishi 2012-09-02 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ooc: Oops. MY BAD]

This was the first time that Fuuka transformed into a weapon and because of that, Fuuka has no idea what she was going to do. Her weapon form could only track kishin eggs but that was about it. She could only support those who had the real power to do anything. Now she was simply staring at the ceiling with nothing else to do.

She could hear that Yuri was fighting in the background but she couldn't see exactly what was going on. "Petrov-san?" She shouted but she assumed that he couldn't hear her. What can she do? She wanted to let him know that she was safe but how could she when he doesn't even know where she is? She

"Petrov-san!" She shouted once more before she could feel herself being picked up. Now what? She couldn't attack anything at them and there was no way she could sense what other monsters were outside the tent. Calm down, she mumbled to herself, she had to think of something.

"I'm afraid there's not much you can do." She suddenly spoke up. "My weapon form can only track down Kishin eggs..."

[personal profile] hand_of_judgement 2012-09-06 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ooc: it's okay! And sorry for the delay. Been sick the last few days =| Also, is it alright if he accidentally hits that button on her form?]

Yuri had brought the weapon up to slam against the insect to knock the beast back. Yet even before Fuuka spoke, the Judge felt his eyes open in alarm as he felt the first stirring of resonation flickering between them. He didn't hesitate in slamming up all of his walls, ignoring the flaring pain he felt in return, and instead of attacking the beetle as he'd planned, the Judge leapt back to put some distance between them.

"Then we need to retreat," he said before clenching his teeth. Shifting his grip on her weapon form, his fingers brushed over the device as the momentary consideration of simply releasing her and breaking the connection they'd formed, but he decided against it. He couldn't allow himself to stoop to such a dishonourable level despite his dislike for such situations.
yamagishi: (And so I pray)

[personal profile] yamagishi 2012-09-06 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ooc: It's okay and sure, I don't mind!]

Fuuka wanted to ask if Yuri was okay after that resonance. While she couldn't feel much pain, it was obvious how he was feeling from the way he suddenly jumped back after that attack. "Are you okay?" Of course he wasn't, but it didn't stop her from asking out of habit.

She has a similar thought as him in thinking that it would be best to put some distance between them if he was feeling pain. However, she was surprised to see that he kept holding on. He must have some high tolerance for pain. "I don't want to think that we do but...it seems that we do not a a choice..."

[personal profile] hand_of_judgement 2012-09-08 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm fine." Yuri did what he could to ignore the pain coursing through his body. It was nothing compared to what he'd experienced in the past, which was why he kept his told tight on her form. The beetle was still coming after them, and there seemed to be little chance of them escaping without further injury.

"The others must be fighting similar creatures around the base," the Judge reasoned before glancing down at the machine in his hand. He couldn't help but spy the out-of-place button on her weapon form, and with curiosity getting the better of him, he stretched his thumb over to press the button in question.
yamagishi: (And the bad unhappily)

[personal profile] yamagishi 2012-09-08 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"All right but just be careful." She didn't want to be the reason why he was feeling so much pain. However, if he was this stubborn, then she can't say much. She just hopes that he'll feel better once he lets go out of her.

Before she could say anything else, there was a sudden burst of energy that escaped from her. For a moment, Fuuka wasn't sure what happened but it felt like it was a wave but what kind? As she looked around, it seemed like the beetles were stuck in place but there was some slight twitching from them. Now was the chance to escape!

"Petrov-san, we should go while we have the chance!"

So many apologies for the delay. School's been kicking my butt 8|

[personal profile] hand_of_judgement 2012-09-16 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
He wasn't quite sure what had happened, but there was a sudden wave of energy rushing throughout the area before the bugs around them froze in their place. At most, Fuuka would be able to sense his surprise, but the words she called out drew him from his thoughts. He didn't need to be told twice, and without hesitation, the Judge withdrew from the area.

They needed to locate a safe area, and with some luck, some true fighters to battle these monstrosities.
yamagishi: (You must not think that I am wicked)

Haha, it's okay!

[personal profile] yamagishi 2012-09-16 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
As he continued to run, Fuuka didn't say much. She was wondering if this was a new power of hers when she arrived here or was it something that had always been a part of her? For all she knew, she had the ability to sense kishin eggs but that was it. While that might be true, she probably should have looked up some more information about herself in the library or ask more about those who knew her.

"Um...where can we go?" She finally said. "It seems like this place is filled with those monsters wherever we go."
