[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.

'Says everyone! That's not just something you can ingest if you aren't able to!'

'Anyone says that so it has to be true!', he mimicked his voice in an angry tone. 'Shut the fuck you, you baby! How the hell do you want to ever get anything done if you don't even try just because somebody tells you to!?'

There was another reason why he wanted to try: his soul had possessed a similar ability back then, so he wanted to try it at least once here, too. There was no way in freezing hell that he'd let all the power ups go to some random Weapon he picked up for the row!

There was a flash of light before Bakura's Weapon form vanished from his double's pocket and the teen was standing before him again. "Get hurt on your own then!" he glared, all but stalking over to the other Kishin to get a hold of that soul before his double could.
feelsgoodinyou: (so I can live forever)

Too bad said double reacted by sticking the other soul that he still holding into his mouth and chewing it noisily before swallowing it down.
shiromadoushi: (Sigh)

Bakura shuddered at the sound, carefully picking up the other soul and looking at it a long moment before shuddering again and very delicately swallowing it.

He hated this part. It never felt right and he was aware of the feeling of it inside him for far too long after he should.
feelsgoodinyou: (goodbye my friend)

He licked his lips and then strode over to give his 'double' a not so friendly pat on the back. "Not bad for a guy who never wants to kill!"

Not waiting for a reply, he stalked out into the darkness of one side of the crevice while laughing haughtily. If he concentrated deeply enough he could feel the presence of the larger ones of the monsters here with his so-called Meister-ability - the area was clear. For now.
