EVENT: Battle Against the Kishin Adachi

[soul_mods]

Characters: Anyone who signed up for Mission 254
Location: Matsue City, Japan
Rating: PG13
Time: September 11th
Description: It's time to bring down the Kishin Adachi, once and for all!



Matsue was once a lovely city and a nice place for tourists to visit.

It is now a ghost town.

Some lucky citizens had managed to escape the city before things got really bad, but they are the minority. Even fewer still are those who stayed and are still alive.

Most of them are dead, or worse, they had been driven mad by the Madness the Kishin Adachi exuded and killed their fellow citizens and consumed their souls, becoming Kishin Eggs. To make matters worse, sometimes when you're fighting you'll hear the distant rattling of chains and some primal part of your soul knows, something wicked this way comes.

And then there's all the Yellow Fog...

Only those who persevere will make it to their final destination: the Adachi Art Museum where Adachi is.

It will not be an easy fight, but in order to prevent the fate of this city from befalling on another, everyone will need to try.

((OOC: Please indicate in the subject: Character || OPEN/CLOSED. There will be a separate thread for encountering Adachi. Event information is here.))

Nothing about that looked good. What the hell was he doing? It was like he was melting in a way, but not, and it was forming in a way similar to those creepy clowns or that Crona kid who was made of the Black Blood.

Kanji decided to begin the pressure and not let up. Adding a punch of soul energy to the ammunition, pushing aside the pain and growing numbness in his injured opposing arm, he pressed on with unloading two shots from that clip his partner had prepared.

One shot he made for the ball. The other, the pistol.

[pishirogane]

Naoto didn't like the looks for this either, but like Adachi, they had to make an attempt to stop it before he finished. Souls communicating, she noted his arm steadily growing numb and attempted to help bring some feeling back by taking on the pain herself.

Shots pulled, Naoto had to wait. Either they hit, or she released the trigger and had the crows attack.

[dachibag]

The shot to the ball caused it to splatter but the way it was reforming really made it just a delaying tactic. The shot for the pistol was more telling with a sharp spark and a curse from Adachi. The pistol flew from his hand and now he was missing a finger, the bullet haven taken it along with it.

As if taken by the madness he was emitting, he snarled and charged the duo, holding the black ball in his hand like a dripping, glopping baseball.

[topgun_textiles]

"Shit, what the hell's he doing!?" Okay, that was the pistol gone, but was that Black Blood? What was that? He wasn't sure he wanted to find out the hard way.

Adachi was rolling right up and a gun wasn't gonna cut it. Kanji flipped that trigger. Looks like they had to make this toe-to-toe. He raced forward to meet the Kishin in the middle, soul curling inward on itself and charging.

He worked better up close anyway!

"BRING IT ON!"

[pishirogane]

"I'm not sure, but I don't like that black sphere..." Was it a concentration of black blood? She couldn't get a good reading on it even at her level.

Trigger pulled, the Weapon folded out to the blade, black edge sharp and ready for the confrontation. Naoto's eyes remained focus, soul reaching out for readings, but not going that far. She still had to shield her Meister from outside factors.

[dachibag]

It was just a heavy concentration of shadows though it was more than teeming with madness. With a big smile, Adachi skidded to a stop and flung the ball. It stretched out like a net. A gooey net that had the nasty consequence of directly shoving madness directly into whatever it had captured.

"See how you bruisers like this!"

[topgun_textiles]

It stretched and Kanji felt something in his face twitch, something familiar yet awful. He'd broken out into a smile before he could stop it, even giving a little giggle for good measure. Goddamn Madness!

Kanji fought, seizing their connection as tightly as he could, and swung the blade with all of his might. If it looked like Black Blood and - ugh - smelled like Black Blood...!

He couldn't be made into a gibbering lunatic here!

[pishirogane]

She still wasn't sure what it was. It was like black blood, but it was reaching out and attempting to seize them like a Shadow. No matter what it truly was, it was the Madness coming off of it that made her need to brace for the attack.

And immediately she was in it, trying to cut through, but her mind was trying to flee her. Whispers and screams, the feeling of losing air and drowning, but she had to try pushing through.

[dachibag]

Hah hah! What a victory! What a win! Adachi indulged himself by madly rubbing his head and laughing. He honestly didn't check to see if they had cut through the shadow net, which their blade had cleaved through, leaving them brushed by the net. And not captured, which was the important part.
