EVENT: Retake the City
Characters: Every who signed up to retake the city
Location: Death City
Rating: PG
Time: July 4th
Description: There are Kishin eggs in the city. Like, everywhere. They've pretty much taken over and we can't have that, now can we?
Early in the morning, the sandstorm finally began to fade. By noon, it was gone completely, leaving behind far too much sand for comfort. The city is not in the best shape, having taken damage from the elements as well as the Kishin Eggs that are crawling all over the place, who seem to have made this place a new home.
They could move under the sand (and were quite fast when they did) and the fact that apart from their mouth the rest of their orifices was quite small it's clear that they were built to move like that. There's also the pesky fact that the city has buildings and alley ways they can hide in. The fact that Death City is layered like a cake is also a problem as it creates a lot of place for an enemy to jump down and ambush unsuspecting victims.
Of course, it's easy enough to repay in kind.
Either way, the familiar streets of Death City is now a battleground and the objective? Take back the city.

Closed for Bakura (and eventually Takuto and Eren)
But still, even when she spots something out of the corner of her eye and turns towards it, confirming a moment later that it's a Kishin Egg, she doesn't feel scared. Nervous, yes. But scared? Not at all.]
Ryou-kun, Ryou-kun! There's one over there! We're gonna beat it!!
[With that, she makes a beeline for the monster. Hell yeah she's gonna prove that she is a strong woman!!]
no subject
[[Bakura reaches out to grab hold of her hand before she can run off. In direct contrast, Bakura's confidence level is at an all time low. His last mission had ended in failure and even with Mizuno's comforting presence as a security blanket, sleeping in the shelter had not been the most restful thing. But he was pushing all of that aside, doing his best to focus. This was their home under attack, he wasn't going to let anything overtake it!
...but rushing in like this...?! He hasn't even transformed yet!]]
no subject
What's wrong? C'mon, we gotta get it before it gets away!
[She shakes his hand, smiling brightly.]
Hurry up and transform, Ryou-kun! We're gonna beat this thing!!
no subject
Yet despite the firm connection, the resonance isn't as strong as it should be. But there wasn't any time to focus or even reflect on that. He tucks away his worry best he can, trying to force himself to focus. If he could just ride the wave of Mizuno's enthusiasm....]]
'Just be careful!'
no subject
Don't worry! I'm gonna be plenty careful. You just have to back me up!
[It doesn't take her long to reach her target and she stops a short distance from it, steeling her nerve.]
You ready?
no subject
He could do this. They could do this...!]]
'Ready!'
no subject
Here it goes!
[With that, she rolls Bakura. There's a good deal of anxiety bubbling in her stomach, but so much more delight at the fact that she can actually help!]
no subject
He had been aiming for a 0, a supercritical to get this battle over swiftly, but came up 1 instead. Still the attack, but no where near the strength he had intended...
The die zoomed back into Mizuno's waiting hand, glowing brightly for just a moment before the glow transferred to Mizuno's hand and blasted outward, smacking into the Kishin egg...
...with the force of a water balloon.
A water balloon full of a mild acid, judging but the aggravated response as the Kishin egg narrowed its focus at them, but nothing near what Bakura knew he could do.
And no where near what they needed...]]
'Again!'
[[his mental voice was starting to show his panic and worry despite his efforts to hide it.]]
no subject
O-okay! Here we go!
[Taking a small step back, she takes aim again, rolling Bakura once more. Come on. Something to get rid of this thing before it gets even madder and tries to hurt her...]
no subject
There's a raw desperation as the die tumbles. He couldn't let Mizuno get hurt. He had to protect her, he had to protect Death City, he had to show he could be worth it, to succeed, to make something in his life go the way it was supposed to....!
Mentally, he reached for the zero, trying desperately to hold it upright despite the feeling of cracking plastic under his fingers. Don't fall apart right now, not now, not now not---
He slipped, feeling himself tumble wildly, the spin on the die uncontrolled as he bounced in seaming slow motion. No-- no he couldn't fail, he couldn't---
Bounce.
Bounce.
Roll.
9
The die lay still for just a second before the thread seemed to snap, the resonance shattered as Bakura reverted, laying on the ground where the die had fallen, looking pale and exhausted as the shock of the broken resonance left him stunned.]]
no subject
And with Bakura out of commission, Mizuno knows that she doesn't stand a chance. The fear bubbles more readily in her stomach as she stands frozen. She knows she should run, but she can't bring herself to, not when Bakura would be left behind.
So what is she supposed to do?? Unconsciously, she takes a small step back, staring at the monster before her...]
*Swaps formats*
Mizuno.
Seconds later he was on his feet, chest heaving and eyes barely focusing. Mizuno was going to be hurt, he couldn't let--
"Mizuno-chan, run!!" he shouted, even as the kishin egg started to move, charging.
Shit shit shit...!
There was no thought, just pure adrenaline filled motion as he started to run. Had to protect-- just a little more, a little faster, if he could just---
There was a brilliant, blinding, overwhelming sensation as he collided with the egg's attack, every nerve in his body seeming to scream in unison.
Shattering... he was going to...
Seconds later he collapsed on the ground between them, eyes closing as everything went black.
sheesh Fran. /swaps back
There's a sudden change in his resonance. If there's something that gives Takuto determination, it's the desire to protect his friends. He's failed to protect Mizuno once before, and he won't let it happen again. And Ryou is down.
Light floods through his wavelength, a warm energy that seeks to lift Eren up alongside him. When what you have to do is what you want to do... raise up your voice...]
APPRIVOISÉ!! [...and you can hear the voice of the world.
He's gotten the Kishin egg's attention. It's as if it doesn't even see Mizuno or Ryou's limp form. But frankly, who could ignore the dazzling of a soul like that? Even though there's no visible change in the light or air, there's something about Takuto that's unmistakably radiant.]
I hope I got this right
What's u-[Then he finally sees what Takuto had seen and another another thought floods his mind as his thoughts turn into a hot mess. No!! NOT AGAIN!!
Memories rise up inside his mind, of comrades slain, friends eaten, all that suffering and death for seemingly nothingnothing-] AS IF I'D LET YOU!!
[He doesn't know if it's just his thoughts or words that are ringing through the street, full of anger and bloodlust. Wrapping the wavelength Takuto is providing him with around him Eren submerges himself in it, imaging it to be disgustingly sticky titan flesh rather than another person that is surrounding him. Then he tells the body to move, making it rush past the roof he (they? Eren? the titan? whatever, his body, it is his body right now and it's going to do what he wants it to) and leaping straight off the ledge into the street below. He grabs the handles, aims the hooks, fires - his feet miss ramming the ground by inches, he twists, retrives one hook, aims again, adds gas, and within seconds they aren't only half a block closer to the fallen team and their predator but also high up high in the air where they shine like a signal flare for every kishin egg near before Eren gives the order and they dive down in a whirling blaze of deadly steel.
The attack itself is anticlimactically unspectacular. They dodge the attack the kishin egg is sending their way by changing their course slightly - a quick shot, reeling the wire in as soon as the hook grabbed hold making it sing, a land on the wall while aiming the next hook, leaping off and holding the blades straight as they whizzed past the kishin egg, sending its head rolling.
But Eren doesn't stop even now, making Takuto instead land at the ledge of the next rooftop and urging him to race it upwards and toss them into the air and subsequent fray right away again without paying any heed to Mizuno and Bakura. They still lived when they got there, they weren'T interesting anymore.]
'More! More! More!! They are still coming and we can get them all!!'
sorry I took so long orz
It's fortunate for her that at the moment that she runs forward to grab Bakura, the Kishin Egg is distracted by Takuto's radiance. But despite her best efforts, she's really not that strong, and she can't quite get Bakura into her arms or even start dragging him away. Huge tears fill her eyes as she struggles to pull him across the ground.]
Ryou-kun... Ryou-kun, please please wake up. You shouldn't have done that, please! Ryou-kun!
[She doesn't even realize that there's a fight going on around her, she is wholly consumed by the task of trying to get Bakura out of harm's way.]
no subject
On the other hand, the Kishin eggs are definitely drawing towards him the way they had the day before when he first used this ability. Letting the radiance pour from his soul like this is actually a fantastic feeling, and it almost feels like he's able to fight better with it (though Eren is doing most of the work), but the shark-like sand creatures are getting a little too numerous for comfort.]
Mizuno can't carry Ryou all by herself! [He tries to turn his head towards Mizuno and Ryou when a Kishin egg isn't actually leaping up from the sand to attack. But he tries to impress on Eren that the priority here is to get both his friends out of danger.] And Ryou looks to be in pretty bad shape!
no subject
He grins and feels his parting lips revel nothing but hungry teeth at how easy killing them all will be when Takuto's silent shout interrupts his concentration.]
...? [Oh right. The two who went down. He allows Takuto movement of his own body with some resistance, but not before maneuvering them out of the reach of snapping teeth again.] They'll manage or die. If you want to help them, we need to fight!!'
[The answer comes on an instinctive level rather than coherent thoughts as Eren tries to tug them towards the approaching monsters again.]
no subject
She's looking around frantically as she drags him, though, trying to find the nearest door or rock or hiding spot of any variety really. There are doors, of course, but not all of them are accessible. And she's just starting to drag Ryou to the first one she can get to when she sees something moving towards her in the distance.]
No, no, no, no.... Come on, come oooon....
sorry I am the latest of the late
Eren, those are my friends. It's not about 'they'll manage or die.' We're going to protect them.
[In other words, they can fight--and they should fight--but their fighting is going to have a purpose. He tries to instill some kind of order to the incoherent battle lust he's sensing from his weapon. His point is not to outright stop Eren from doing anything, but instead to just channel him.]
no subject
Then go and help them.
[Moments later they are whizzing towards the ground, only slowing down once Takuto's long feet are going to reach the earth easily at any moment. It's not that Eren can't understand the desire to protect one's friends - he does! - but everything in him screams that this is the wrong way to go about it.]
no subject
She doesn't really know if just a door will help protect them, but... well, it's worth a shot, right?]
