about time this happened
[There's something not quite right with Pleiades. It's not like him to transform simply for the sake of transforming, but there he is, lounging about Ryuuzaki's room, donning his dragon-like armor just as she turns away for a moment to fasten on an arm guard
There's something different about that armor, though. It seems to be more...flashy? Angular ( Read more... )

"Tch..." The pressure is stiffening... "What the hell did he throw me in..??" And it seems almost as though her voice echoes around her. But she can feel her sword, and she knows something is there...
"OI! LET ME OUT..!!" And so begins the mad slashing at the walls...

While Ryuzaki is fighting in what's not at all visible to the rest of the world, Yume is sitting else where in complete silence. She sits within a room with no walls and no windows, illuminated seemingly by nothing and an endless white in appearance.
She's sat here for a while, in silence. Trying to relax, trying to access her own mind- a mind she cannot enter with the glove she's left in her room. She's almost there though... She's almost broken through the darkness, to find the thing she's feared all her life- the shadow, the cause of the 'Black Rain', a demon of feathers and teeth... She's almost there...
But something stirs in the room...

You can't keep her in here forever, 'Pleiades'...! Ryuzaki might not easily see much of... Well, anything, but she can feel- and there's something in front of her-
"HAH-!"
Something reacting to every slash of the blade-
"NNNHAH!"
Something breaking? No, more like tearing...
"RRAHHHHAAAAA!"
With a final slice the blade rips through...

[Just before she manages to make the final blow, "Pleiades" has simply phased into Yume's large, empty room, where "he" senses the Noise Wave opening up. He pays no attention to the occupant or any reaction she might make, instead settling onto a chandelier that definitely wasn't in the room before and using it as a perch to observe a wall.]
Well, now...

That voice...?
Yume opens her eyes and reacts accordingly- mostly by freezing completely and... "Nh- How did you..!" How did someone get in here..? And where did that light even come from, what-
Reply
There's no time for Yume to react further- a tear appears in the wall, lined with static and pixels and filled with nothing else. Like the sound of a static feed ripping through the air, something breaks free...
"HRRAAAAAHHHH! HAH!"
...And lands just a few feet in front of Yume, to turn up toward 'Pleiades' immediately. "Hah... Hah..." She points her blade upward- "Are you going to fight now... Coward..!?"
Reply
[And "Pleiades" smirks.]
Well now, aren't you proud of yourself for accomplishing such a simple task? What is it you humans do again to congratulate others on their trivial pursuits? This?
[And slow, mocking clap, even as he swings off the chandelier and simply dangles himself from it, hanging onto it by his hooked tail.]

"How..." The girl turns, Yume now standing with wide eyes. "How did you both get in here...??" As Ryuzaki stares Yume swallows, shaking on the spot. "This room is supposed to be impenetrable... Do you have any idea what could happen in here...??"
Reply
Impenetrable? Really. Clearly it isn't, if we're here...
[And laughter.]
Then again, you'd be hard pressed to keep us out of anything we choose to be in. This body included.
Reply
"Th..." What. What what what, are they fighting in here, no that's not-
No that's not- "Please..!"
Ryuzaki turns- ...Please?
"Please... Leave." Yume's voice is strained as she speaks- and she seems to unconsciously attempt to draw back from both of those before her. "Please... Just leave, before anything happens..."
Reply
[And "Pleiades" sniffs.]
Really, now, you underestimate our capabilities. We don't speak for the human, mind you, but we're sure we can handle what you worry about.
Reply
Ryuzaki nods. "That's right- and besides... This is our fight! If anything, you should get out of here as fast as you ca-"
"I'm not talking about HUMANS..!" Yume's voice echoes over the air, cutting Ryuzaki off- and it's likely that outside, the munna she left on 'watch' is picking up on these now hysteric emotions quite easily. "What I am talking about... What I am trying to..." She shakes her head. "It is 'shadow' and nothing more- an 'element', something above any living thing...!"
"It can't be that bad..." Ryuzaki that was a horrible thing to say.

Fancy name or no, something wielded by a human is of little consequence to us.
[Then there's a squinting look in Yume's direction, a nod, and then laughter.]
Especially if wielded by a human that is incomplete such as yourself. Why would a human repress their already weak Denpa, I don't know, but truly, this is no problem at all for us!
Reply
"Ehh? Denpa..?"
Yume's head is bowed- and her voice a little quieter than before. "I cannot control this shadow." She clenches her fists, teeth grinding before she speaks again. "I have spent many years pushing it away for that reason... But..." With a swallow she looks up, and again she shouts- "If it breaks out now... If this thing escapes while you're here, you will all die..!" Of that she's certain-
But Ryuzaki seems to have just as much faith in that as 'Pleiades'- "Tch. If you've held if off this long, then it's nothing- don't worry about a thing, just get out of here..!"
