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.))

"You didn't listen at the exercise? It's supposed to be a manifestation of the half you hide and suppress like every other human. You're no different, but again, what human really is unique?"

He watched it grow, red eyes glinting at the amount of energy it gave off. If only this was his world and the magical girls could collect the energy for him. It might fulfill his quota.

[pirateninja]

"I heard. But I'm not that wimpy!"

And now the Shadow was getting to its feet, growing taller and looking much more like a fearsome pirate. The hand shifted, elongated until it was holding a sword. Uh, oh...

[neverlied]

"You're so out of touch with yourself if that's all you think it is, but that's okay. It's natural for creatures like you."

He continued watching the Shadow pirate grow with his red eyes amazed. If he could collect this energy, he would have his quota filled and then some!

[pirateninja]

The Shadow pirate attacked and Morgan brought her own blade up to block. With an extra foot in height, the scorpions, and the yellow eyes, it was quite an intimidating sight.

"Okay, so maybe it's not that wimpy anymore!"

But that wasn't going to be enough to scare her. She now took the opportunity to swing her own sword at the Shadow.

[neverlied]

"No. It's become an entity of its own."

Kyubey had come strong, but he could feel the Shadow's blade ringing against the soul-crafted sword. Weird, but it was still growing stronger. Even as large as it was, the Shadow avoided Morgan's attack.

[pirateninja]

She parried another blow from the Shadow's sword and drove it back with a kick before slashing at its torso. She's beaten some pretty tough pirates back home so this shouldn't be impossible.

"Drat. Why's it suddenly so strong!?"

[neverlied]

"Because you're not being honest."

He was curious how many swings and dodges it would take before Morgan accepted it was her. It would know her technique already. Oh well, as much as she kept her fed, she was a hopeless human.

[pirateninja]

"And you're not being very helpful!"

Another swing and another miss as the Shadow Pirate rolled out of the way, taunting her.

"I'm Morgan LeFlay, the loneliest pirate hunter in all the Carribean!"

[neverlied]

"I'm doing what's expected of me. Providing you a Weapon and support."

It wasn't his fault she was that way. Honestly, he didn't care. Her Shadow continued to become more fascinating by the second.

[pirateninja]

"This is your idea of support!?" She let out a frustrated sound, slashing for the piratey monstrosity again.

"No, I'm the loneliest pirate hunter in all the Seven Seas!"

And Morgan was losing her patience. "So what if I'm lonely!?" She struck again and finally hit this time, the Shadow seeming to shrink somewhat.

[neverlied]

"Yes." He was still here anyway.

The battle seemed to continue going on and the longer she held it in-- oh. Kyubey's ears rose when the Shadow shrunk slightly. "It lost some of its strength."

[pirateninja]

"Good." She didn't intend to be beaten by a poor copy of herself!

"Even if I'm lonely, that makes no difference in my skills as a pirate hunter!"

Another hit and another as the Shadow shrunk further, coming back down to Morgan's size.

[neverlied]

"It's almost finished."

With each admission to the Shadow, it lost energy. His tail moved to the side as he turned his head. If their universe could be like this. Yes...

[pirateninja]

"I might drive people away but if they're that scared, are they really worth knowing?"

A couple more blows with the sword and the Shadow changed back to Morgan before fading away.

[neverlied]

Kyubey watched Morgan defeat the Shadow. He couldn't frown and didn't release anything that could note disappointment.

"No soul. We're free to move on then."

[pirateninja]

"About time."

And she moved on through the fog, in search of more kishin eggs. There was still work to be done even if they took on ridiculous forms like paintings and sculptures...
