In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

Wednesday. 7pm. A calm, normal day in Vatheon. Nothing betrays what is coming. And yet the signs were there, if only someone had been able to see them for what they were

FIGHTING

[thalassino]

Shin, Feferi, & Eruka + Sirius later

[shounenphelps]

Shin felt more than heard the kraken slamming into Vatheon's barrier, making him sit bolt upright in bed. It was an angry writing pain that had Shin's pity... for a moment. Then the draining sensation came and he reeled a little onto Sirius's side of the bed

[witch_of_life]

The rumble of the bubble encasing them caught her off guard. What, what had that been? Water splashed to the floor where it had been floating around her while she practiced and now Feferi moved to the window of her room, her eyes alighting to the sight of...

The cutest thing she has seen.

Ever.

Well, maybe not ever. At least since entering here! But the poor thing was really distraught and definitely didn't want to play nice. Ooohh, this wasn't swimming well for everyone, and the swelling of water into the bubble was dangerous and could really strand everyone in the deep end if it continued. But, no, it... okay well that works! Well, maybe no for that poor creature, it's long arms whipping around inside of the bubble still. No, this wasn't going to do! Even if he was cute, this was only going to hurt a lot of people

[frogglingwitch]

Eruka's day had been going well, until this point. She'd actually been awake despite the late hour, idly scribbling down magical equations when the pounding began. Immediately she doused all the lights and sat in the darkness, heart pounding. When the power drain came, she was glad she was sitting, but just as soon as it had begun it was over--

Clink!

Her eyes went wide and round as she stared at the skull-faced collar now on the desk in front of her, stunned. "O-Oh..."

Half in a daze, she walked out of the Pendilium building, but the splash of icy water across her ankles brought her back to her senses. Which may, or may not, have been a good thing considering that was when she first noticed the waving tentacles heading towards her and the two figures on the street.

"W-What's going on!?"

Re: Shin, Feferi, & Eruka + Sirius later

[shounenphelps]

Shin spared a smile for Feferi, and by extension the new girl on the scene, then set his face more severely. "What's going on is you'll have to defend yourself from it or run!" With no other explanation, he raised his left arm into the air.

"Buso! Suiko!" And thus began his transformation sequence* - bolts of cloth and cherry blossoms swirled around, then burst away to reveal him in a full suit of armor, complete with a mancatcher-like weapon.

Then he smirked over at Feferi. "I never thought I'd have to use my powers here, but now you know why I'm so at home in the water, for a human."

[*This is the English version, the only one I could find on youtube. :'(]

[witch_of_life]

"WEEeeeell, seems like this big guy here is trying to throw us all to the fishes!"

Feferi giggles, looking over to the other girl. A human? Not sure! She had a cute outfit though. Feferi twirled her trident, at her side, over her head, infront of her, water swirling about her, and oohhh, that was fun! She loved that soooo much, learning that magic was prooobably one of the coolest things ever.

Even if... she didn't really want to use it to hurt the creature. I mean...

It was really cute.

She looked back to Shin, eyes alighting, a smile dragging from ear to ear.

"Oh wow! Flashy, heehee. I think was was a little show boaty to me though." Said through glubs and giggles.

"But I'm, happy to see this for myself! OOohhhhhh! This is so EXCITING!"

Twirling her trident again, her body practically writhing with joy, she looks back to the Kraken, taking a deep breath and nodding to herself.

"So what's the plan?"

[frogglingwitch]

Eruka's eyes had lit up at the sight of the other two people using magic, momentarily overriding her fear of the flailing tentacles.

"Where did it come--?" she began, but at the same time, the huge limb came swinging down at their direction!

[shounenphelps]

"I'm fighting it head-on!" Shin responded, sort of to both of them, as he leaped into the air. How on earth he did that in such bulky gear, who knew. "You can run if you like, but Suiko no Shin is ready!"

He pulled his yari up, struck it deep into the tentacle as he landed on it, and then willed the pincers to clamp tighter. Suddenly I'm more grateful than ever for those broom lessons. That allowed him to remain on the tentacle for a few moments, but soon he was thrown into a building's exterior wall.

His whole head was ringing, but it was nothing he hadn't felt before, so he staggered to his feet.

[witch_of_life]

"Probably lived somewhere nearby! I mean, we're kind of under water and everything." Siiighhh.

"I bet all the commotion we caused here bothered the poor little guy." She shoots a rather annoyed look at Shin who seems very okay with hurting this creature. And... he's still yelling at it! That's so silly! It's head is outside of the bubble! Also, how could it run? It's arms were stuck, and they were in WATER! It'd be swimming. SHEEEEESH

[frogglingwitch]

Eruka winced when Shin was thrown into the building, and Feferi tossed off in much the same manner. Like when she'd faced the fish-monsters, her feet felt rooted to the ground in uncertainty. And not unlike that battle with Mizune and Crona against Black*Star, she had no plan.

I can't... I can't do anything! I won't make any difference!

The tentacle came back around, now poked and bleeding in spots, and all she found herself able to do with utter a short shriek before it smacked into her. Immediately she was stuck to one of its suckers, and in response the tentacle closed around her tightly, turning her scream into a wheeze as it lifted her into the air.

[shounenphelps]

"Shit!"

Shin took a few steps forward, then set his feet firmly apart. "Chou Dan Do!" He pulled his yari back, then thrust it forward. "Chou Ryu Ha!"

The pincers of his yari jerked backward at the forward momentum, and from it came a blast of water in a horizontal column aimed up at the tentacle. It wasn't aimed at where the young witch was being held - but rather a little further up the tentacle, in hopes that it would force the beast to let go or at least loosen its hold.

Part of the problem was that Shin could feel he wasn't at full power. Maybe it was Vatheon, maybe it was just because he hadn't used his power in so long, but he couldn't just stand back any longer. He had to try.

"I'm not shouting at the creature, Feferi - I'm shouting for myself! I don't like the idea of hurting an innocent creature either-" He could hear the fondness in her voice. "But can you hear it? It won't stop until it's destroyed us - starting with her!"

[witch_of_life]

"OOooh, GLUBBER." Feferi sighs angrily, seeing the tentacle grab the strange girl. Why was she just standing there!? Sheeeeesh! That was dangerous! If she didn't think she could do anything here then why did she swim all the way to the deep end? She was just making this harder for everyone by putting herself in danger.

Another growl under her breath and she raises a hand water pooling above it, swirling around vigorously and Feferi slung her hand forward, the water coming out like whips to lash around the tentacle. Feferi tried to yank and pull with her whip like water tendrils, trying to force the tentacle to loosen it's grip.

"I can see that! Uuuugggh, it doesn't make this any easier though! It's just a whale of extra noise!"

[frogglingwitch]

Eruka was flopping around on the end of the tentacle like a proverbial ragdoll, her arms pinned at her sides so she couldn't even brace herself against the back and forth motion. She was starting to look almost as green as her frog form.

"Ge-ee-eee-eet me down!" she wailed, the pitch of her voice rising and falling each time the tentacle lashed around. "A-Aim for the baaa-aa-aa-aaase of it!"

The tentacle was being pinched off by where it came through the barrier. Like holding a long lock of hair near the scalp, it was probably cutting off a lot of the tip's ability to feel the attacks.

HI GUYS

[bblstudying]

"Bubble Spray Freezing!"

Abruptly, and seeming out of nowhere, true Sailor Moon style, a sailor-outfit-clad teenage girl appears and promptly creates a freezing fog that creates a solid ice coating over the entire tentacle. It's now wide open for attack!

"Hurry! Now's your chance!"

Heya!

[witch_of_life]

Feferi watches the girl held by the tentacle with slight amusement. She might not be fully aware of how dangerous this is! She's just, this is just, oh cod, so exciting! She feels bad beause they have to hurt this cute little guy... and he's hurting people... But it's so silly how that girl sounds as she tries to talk while she's being flailed around! Feferi's dong her best to try and control her giggles and soon takes a deep breath

Whee~

[shounenphelps]

Shin's eyes darted up to the female voice that sounded so familiar and yet he couldn't place it. "Thank you!" And then he was right back to the task at hand.

Feferi's strike did indeed snap off a good chunk of the tentacle, and Shin stepped quickly over to jab his yari into the still-warm part clinging to the young woman. Then, he extended a metal-clad hand to help her up, along with a smile. "Are you okay n--"

His head snapped back up to the hole in the barrier where the tentacle-stump remained. "No..." The beast was pushing more of its limb into Vatheon, smashing into buildings more like a club than a whip now. "NO!"
