[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.

Alright. Let's keep on forward now. We just have to remain strong against the madness and ward off enough creatures to give the technicians time.

Genesis remembers how he spotted Sephiroth not too far off, his hand appearing to bear a wound-- possibly self-inflicted. The ex-SOLDIER was aware that he was possibly stronger against the madness than his comrade was, but still, it felt like an omen to him. If it was that bad for him, then what could it be like for the both of them-- Genesis especially.

With the danger behind them, Edgeworth once again took notice of how cramped and dark their surroundings really were - even with the light of the Rapier. He set his mouth in a thin, grim line, trying to keep those thoughts at the back of his mind. This was the worst time to let his imagination get the better of him.

He didn't answer Genesis anymore in his thoughts or with words, but answered by continuing to walk forward, no longer needing his flashlight. Edgeworth slowed down slightly to listen for any signs of incoming enemies, or allies - and to also calm himself. Sensing Genesis' soul wavelength through the Rapier helped, at least.

Genesis remained as quiet as Edgeworth was, taking his time observing their surroundings. It was difficult, working in the dark. But he was rather thankful that his weapon form dealt with the element of fire. At least that made him a source of light for the both of them.

There was murmuring within the caves. Genesis was sure that those were their comrades. But he had an ominous feeling that they were going to face foes again. It's no surprise. After all, the closer they were to the emitter, the more likely they were to go up against monsters. But it definitely wasn't helping that both the madness and a substance in the air were numbing his mind.
