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.))

[Now that his shadow had been silenced, Genesis took the opportunity to move forward to change the shadow's mind, to make it accept him as he accepts the shadow as well.]

I know you well. We're one and the same, after all. However, you aren't all of me. Right now, I've learned that while I can be strong on my own, I become far more powerful with the perfect partner. That's why I'm not weakest now. No, I am at my strongest.

And you are just a part of that.

[The shadow looks absolutely flabbergasted by this, and in his stunned reaction, Genesis takes the opportunity to grab its hand and pull it close.]

You are still a part of me. A part of what makes me powerful, and I won't deny that.

[prosecutory]

[Meanwhile, Edgeworth also notices that his Shadow has fallen silent. His expression is inscrutable, but the Shadow's is twisted into disbelief and irritation.]

You're no longer refuting my statements. So, you do concede my point. You are me, and I am you.

[The Shadow spreads his feet as if getting into a confrontational stance, but says nothing except for a frustrated noise.

Edgeworth steps closer to it, arms folded across his chest.]

And that is the truth.

[recitings]

[As soon as Genesis takes his shadow's hand, the entity is stunned and just disappears, defeated by Genesis reasoning with it. At that, Genesis feels satisfied, and somehow-- it also feels as if he had gotten stronger by facing that dark part of himself.

He looks over to Edgeworth, keenly eyeing his progress but not wanting to interfere. It seems as if he's at the end of his battle as well.]

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth doesn't notice Genesis looking over; he is too busy watching his double just glare at him, seething with pent-up rage as if desperately grappling for something to say even when it has become clear that there is nothing more. Edgeworth maintains eye contact, not at all fazed by the glare, until the Shadow disappears. When that happens, he sighs in relief, glad that it was over and he had managed to face his other self.

It is only then that he glances toward Genesis, and nods.]

...Perhaps I should be thankful that I did indeed meet my Shadow, after all.

[recitings]

Feel stronger, partner?

[Genesis gives his Meister a quiet smile, also glad that he had also found a way to defeat it. After all, those they just faced were the darkest parts of their psyche. it was just right that they felt more confidence after overcoming them.]

[prosecutory]

[He lowers his head slightly, then raises it, holding it high. Edgeworth sets his jaw, trying to relax. That was it, he told himself. That's done.

And in all honesty, he feels accomplished, having stared his other side down and prevailed instead of letting it drag him down. It was a testament to how far he - and Genesis - had come.]

Yes. Yes, I do.

End?

[recitings]

Good. We can move forward now.

[And with pride radiating from his smile, he moves ahead of his Meister, re-joining the charge to the Kishin Adachi.]

Yup, this ends yet another brothread

[prosecutory]

[And of course, Edgeworth is not one to remain standing there for long, and he follows Genesis promptly, ready to face the next phase of this battle.]
