17: Calamity

[invidia_keeper]

[Just as the sun begins to set, when it seems like most of the chaos has subsided, there's suddenly a new sound amidst the cacophony the earthquake has brought. Cries; cries that sound explicitly not human, from roars to gurgles, to battle cries in a foreign tongue. Following these cries are the demons who made them, wanting nothing more than to

IDEK how to start this.

[falenandawn]

[Frey's been out all day, so it's obvious at some point he'll come across Naoya or his demons.]

It's fine <3.

[invidia_keeper]

[Naoya for now, will be out of sight close by observing.

The Abaddon, though is hard to miss as it literally sloshes up to Frey and opens its mouth wide in a charge. It seemingly came out of nowhere, though it's not too fast and a doable dodge.]

[Action]

[falenandawn]

[And Frey dodges out of the way quite easily, staring at the thing.] What is that...? [He decides to try a spell out first, and sends a flurry of buzzsaw like discs of wind at the creature.]

Re: [Action]

[invidia_keeper]

[The Abandon doesn't really care what Frey is saying, though a gurgle of incomprehensible syllables comes out. Though when Frey hits it with a spell, it almost seems to be smiling, or smiling for a blob at least.

It lets out a roar, then attacks with a spell of it's own, a gigantic block of ice aiming right at Frey.]

[cowledcrusader]

[It's turning dark at last, having been a very long day. The Dark Knight has been working all day helping to dig out survivors. But the sunset brings some odd noises into the air.

...Odd, unnatural noises. Possibly feral and dangerous. Unlike anything he's ever heard in Luceti. But right now, he looks up to the darkening sky... seeing a large, winged being take off from the forest nearby. Its wings massive in size, it kicked up a powerful gust of wind that shook the branches of the trees in the forest.

Whatever it is... it looks like it's heading this way.]

[invidia_keeper]

[ Indeed, it is. It doesn't take long for the Garuda to catch up to Batman, it's wings covering the distance easily. Shockingly enough, it will land in front of him a few feet away if Batman permits, and speak in perfect if not a bit archaic English:]

"Thou is the one known as Batman?"

[cowledcrusader]

[...Okay, nothing good ever starts this way. Guard is up, eyes narrowing slightly. He'll get only a slight nod as an answer.]

[invidia_keeper]

"My Lord has requested your head." [Simple as that, the Garuda will charge-- but not before letting out a call of it's own, a signal. It lets loose mini cyclones to flank Batman's sides, while diving at his middle, claws outstretched.]

[ashesandpearls]

[The release of the power cap was a bit like taking her first full breath of air. She'd spent the day digging people out of the rubble, a tedious but hardly taxing task, but now that dusk had fallen her spiritual senses were buzzing in a way which demanded that she investigate, or else she would not be getting any rest.

So Matsumoto heads towards the source of the loudest buzzing, her eyes peeled for the source.

It's not long until she spots one. Like and yet unlike a Hollow.]

Hello, ugly.

[invidia_keeper]

[What she sees is a Loa, floating in midair. It turns toward her upon hearing her insult]

I CoUlD sAY tHe SaME tO yOU. [ Half snake as it is, the Loa will intend to strike first, a flash of red coming from the skull eyes. It's a paralyze technique, and if not blocked or dodged, would render her essentially immobile.]

[ashesandpearls]

[A flash step, and she's no longer there. In fact, she speaks from a few feet behind the Loa - not yet attacking, she's waiting to see what it is and how it moves. The spiritual presence she's getting off of the thing isn't that high - she's far from worried, except for the fact that it's here when it clearly shouldn't be. She has to find out more, and she rests her hand on Haineko's hilt.]

Should we see if you're as slow as you are blind? You don't belong here. What are you?

[invidia_keeper]

[ The loa spins around to face her. If it had a face, it would be surprised.]

I aM caLLeD LOA.

I WaS SUmMonED HeRE. MAnY hUManS tO PLaY wiTH. [The loa seems to almost cackle at this point, chattering the skull together to make an eerie sound.]

YoU aRe AmuSING, ShOULd SHaRE. [ In a split second, there will be two more of them, floating in a type of Loa Legion.]

[kakeravoyager]

[Bern will be wandering around aimlessly near the edges of the forest along the river, surveying the damage the earthquake made. That will be when she hears strange noises. Noises that animals don't normally make.]

Oh. Is something interesting happening again? This day just keeps getting better and better, like an endless refill.

[ooc: hope you don't mind npcing]

[invidia_keeper]

[ Down from the sky floats a Power, having heard her musing.]

You are unholy. [It points it's spear at her, before launching forward with a thrust.]

ooc: It's no problem o/!

[kakeravoyager]

[She smirks, just watching it come towards her.] Unholy? My what a way to describe me. [As soon as it gets close enough she vanishes from sight, only to reappear about a couple yards above him] Not that I can honestly vouch for being the opposite.

[invidia_keeper]

I speak the truth, Witch. [Honestly, it's only by sheer chance that he hits on the truth of what she is-- the Power would call anything a witch, really.

Sensing that she is more than he could handle, he makes a quick gesture, calling his brothers in arms. In total, 3 more Powers appear , flanking each other.]

We will eliminate the sin of your being.

Hama. [It's a basic light spell directed at her, although they do all cast it at once.]

Well, he is an exorcist so...

[youkai_buster]

[Kantarou ran towards the malicious aura he could sense, his bracelet ringing louder and louder as he near it. Then just as he rounded the corner, he let out a cry of agony and clutched at the flare of pain his chest. Demons. He kept going though...]

[Action]

[invidia_keeper]

[ And encounters a group of Abbadon's, four of them, who let out a roar as soon as they Kantarou.

Together they cast one gigantic ice shard towards him, about the size of a truck.]

[Action]

[youkai_buster]

[Kantarou quickly grabs his prayer beads and chants quickly to crack the ice and form a shield around himself.]

Re: [Action]

[invidia_keeper]

[ The Abbadon's undeterred slosh forwards, attemping to body slam his shield, their combined weight on the shield impressive.]
