EVENT: Battle Against the Kishin Adachi

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.))

The Adachi Art Museum had boasted for its beautiful gardens and collection of contemporary arts.

Now all the gardens were in disarray, the paths strewn with leaves and dried splatters of blood, bridges sat broken over the water and everywhere hung a thick fog.

The Kishin Adachi has made this his battleground...are you brave enough to face him on his hometurf?

Matsue might have been a nice city, if not for all the yellow fog and the oppressive atmosphere that accompanied it. And the demons. Spooks loved the fog and there was certainly no shortage of them here. Five had already fallen to their flames as they moved through the streets, attempting to find the museum where the Kishin was believed to be lurking. And now, with another Calamity Blast, a sixth was defeated. It wasn't the easiest battle either, doubtful whispers creeping into her mind, interrupting her focus at moments, the Madness at work. Maybe, that broadcast last night hadn't been the best idea, it weighed on her mind and disrupted her concentration.

"Are you holding up all right?" Lily addressed the sketch of Lezard in the book and placed the latest soul atop the pages. Unbeknownst to her, it was the 99th for him. She'd never really kept track of how many they'd fought and the number of demon problems in this world was kind of depressing.

That done, she turned in a circle, trying to make out anything at all in the dense fog, much heavier than it had been in the tunnel near Death City, even thicker than the fog that regularly blanketed San Francisco back home. "And any idea which way we should go? I can barely see a thing in this dang fog!"

Rosalia didn't understand why anyone would want to do this. The city was in ruin and the air was heavy with Madness. The young girl had to suppress her shivers as - together with D - they worked on eliminating the Kishin eggs roaming around. She kept a medium-sized smoke animal at her side as company since D was in her hands.

It was weird though. All of the sudden, it had just become really quiet. At the corner of the street, she looked left and right as though checking for traffic, but there was nothing.

"I wonder where the Kishin eggs have gone..." They couldn't have beaten them all, could they?

Morgan would still prefer to fight in her own clothes but since Kyubey was been the most willing Weapon she'd found lately, she's gotten somewhat used to the frills.

Dressed in that pirate wench outfit again, she swung her cutlass at a kishin egg that resembled a cross between some kind of modern sculpture and a tree from the museum's garden. They were still halfway across the city from the museum itself but it seemed enemies were spreading out from the center of the trouble and this wasn't the first encounter they had.

"Is it just me or do the things we fight just keep getting more ridiculous?" she asked as she dodged a swing of a branch and knocked the statue/tree over the head with the sword's hilt.

[The yellow fog and the Madness and the prospect of seeing that dreadful Shadow of his again were all enough to put Edgeworth on...edge. He had strapped on his normal saber, and for the first time since he had received it, his gun was in its holster at his belt as an extra precaution. Both the blade and the pistol were gifts from Genesis, and now, with Adachi on the loose and with so many enemies around, Edgeworth decided that arming himself to the teeth would be a good idea.

His weapon - or rather, Weapon - of choice was in his hands now, flames blazing merrily. Three kishin eggs writhed in pain before them, each engulfed in fire from their resonance attack. It doesn't take long for them to burn away into nothingness, leaving their bright red souls behind.

Edgeworth could have chosen not to kill them, but they had chosen to become violent monsters, and once you started down on the road to becoming a kishin, there was no turning back. He sighs, gripping the Rapier, his mouth a grim line. He was used to carrying the Rapier despite it being longer than he was tall, and the weight of the saber at his hip was familiar to him. The gun, on the other hand, was more like a...burden.]

I would say that we thankfully have yet to meet our...Shadows, but that could change at any time.

Psii had attempted to train for yellow fog, but it... did not go optimally. Told self he would plan strategy for next meeting with shadow, but somehow, that never happened.

Knew what to expect, going in, but could not call self prepared. Was sure nervousness showed through resonance with Amaterasu. Maybe her ability to calm would help, when encounter with shadow self became inevitable.

Empty city was unsettling, calling (perhaps inevitably) to mind distant memory of what Alternia became. Psii tried not to think of own role in causing that desolation. But shadow would be sure to have much to say on topic.

Do not like this at all, he told Amaterasu.

[It's a city crawling with an infestation of Kishin Eggs, a sickening warp of new humanity that means a number of them are weak and easy to ambush. But the vision before him, taking in yellowed fog that's veiled gray in his eyes- thick enough to even attempt to cloy Clairvoyance. But it's not blinding, and Neji's grip on his Weapon tightens as they near the Museum.

He doesn't really have any intention of going inside, but rather acting as a guard for those who were, as well as in range enough to provide backup should it prove necessary. For now however, they edge through the city on the lookout for innocents and Kishin Eggs they can take down in swift order, ignoring the pull of Madness, the whispers through the mist, and the occasional rattle of chains..]

[He was glad to have Yako along, feeling much more optimistic and confident having her at his side after what they'd been through in the tunnels of yellow fog. She would always be something of a distraction for him, but they had quite a lot to focus on during this mission.]

It's creepy here.

[Sounds did strange things in fog, and he was pretty sure the sounds they could hear--echoing footsteps, an occasional shout, a clanging crash, a raspy metal-on-metal, like chains--were eerie before they'd entered the fog. He reached for Yako's hand to give it a squeeze.]

[The yellow fog was really no trouble for her. From the get go, while what her Shadow said was uncomfortable, she had been able to easily accept it.

If the only reason I have the power to proect others is because I am a demon then so be it.

It was more important to try to keep Keroro's souls steady in the face of all this Madness as takes out another Kishin Egg with a beam saber.]
