Come on baby light my fire [CLOSED]

Characters: The amazing scarlet duo Genesis and Edgeworth
Location: The Daintree Forest, Australia
Rating: G? PG? Some violence, yep.
Time: August 31
Description: Within the Daintree Rainforest of Australia, there lurks a monster that blends into surroundings that some have thought it a guardian of the forest. However, the poison clouds that it emits is quick to kill whoever is unfortunate to walk by and be seen as easy prey. It hides amid the great trees, but it is fully capable of pulling itself from the ground and moving to a new location in search of the next victim.

[Ever since their last mission in the rainforest, Genesis had been pretty wary about anything that involved such settings, knowing that they would certainly come with a degree of difficulty. This one was no different. And the briefing on this particular kishin egg made Genesis feel more wary.

After all, poison was a potent thing. And a gas poison was going to be more difficult to evade. He had enough run-ins with Malboros to know the effects of poisonous gas. Unfortunately, here in Death City, there was no such thing as Heal materia or perfect antidotes to use in a pinch. So they have to be extra careful.

Just in case, though, he had advised Edgeworth to wear a gas mask. He himself had one, too. It could hamper their range of vision, but better that than choking on noxious fumes.]

Good move.

[Genesis had withstood poisonous gases several times in the past back in Gaia, so it wasn't in his instinct to duck and move away from the monster's path. But Edgeworth's movement was a great reminder of being safe rather than sorry. The creature was still lumbering towards them, as relentless as all Kishin Eggs were bound to be. This didn't seem particularly smart, though, like the more humanoid Kishin Eggs. Yet, that still didn't take away from its destructive power.]

Seems like this could be a tricky one to take down. Although, I suppose that the best way to get at him is to catch him at his most vulnerable. I'm not sure if you noticed, but he stays perfectly still when it lets out its poisonous breath. Perhaps that could be a ripe chance to attack.

[prosecutory]

I could mislead it into believing we are a sitting duck. It will attempt to unleash another wave of its poisonous gas.

[Unfortunately, that plan entailed remaining perfectly still, waiting for the monster to give its disgusting ability another go and then lunging at the proper time before it could breathe out.

With enough distance, Edgeworth remains still, eyes on the kishin that was already beginning to approach.]

[recitings]

Sounds like an ideal plan. I'll help you move.

[And Genesis will make sure to make good on that word. As a trained SOLDIER with years of experience taking down opponents with carefully timed moves, Genesis could have done it perfectly on his own. But here, as a weapon, he had to aid Edgeworth.

The kishin comes within range of them-- takes a breath...]

Now!

[A surge of resonance helps propel Edgeworth forward at the perfect time!]

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth allows the resonance to carry him forward. He lunges and runs the monster right through with the Rapier with a yell.

Then he wills the rest of their energy to kindle the flames and destroy the kishin further.]

[recitings]

[With how strong they've become recently, it wasn't hard at all for the flames to begin consuming the kishin egg. But despite the fact that it was made of wood and should burn easily, it seemed to still want to go after the Meister and his partner-- and seemingly even more so now in its death throes.

Genesis senses its approach-- its burning wooden claw approaching--]

EDGEWORTH!!

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth feels the heat coming at him from the side, and Genesis' warning does not go unheeded. Hurriedly he wrenches the Rapier out from the kishin, and makes a break for it. The wooden claws rake uselessly at the air, and the monster gives one final, shuddering shriek as it burns away into nothing...

...and Edgeworth's heart continues to race as he realizes that that had been a very close call.]

[recitings]

[Despite being in his weapon form, Genesis' heart was also beating wildly after that decisive moment. Resonance reveals that no harm was done to his meister, and after a deep breath and transforming out of his weapon form, Genesis relaxes.]

Mission accomplished.

ANOTHER MISSION ENDED yaaaay

[prosecutory]

[He tries to relax a little as well, and checks himself for any serious injury. Thankfully, he's good, and removes his gas mask.]

Indeed so...I believe there is nothing more for us to do here.
