Kishin eggs have fallen through the open-air sections of Perimeter Mall and have begun killing shoppers. Hunt down and destroy the kishin eggs before too many more lives are taken!

The kishin paused at that moment, surveying Riyuji as though it had only just noticed that he was around. It growled at the interruption, and went for Tifa again.

Ryuuji cursed at that. Was the stupid thing going to ignore all his ruses just because it was sexist?! Giving Tifa an unhappy glare, he got up a lot faster than what an injured man should be able to. Catching her by the arm he attempted to drag her out of the monster's way together with him, raising his toy gun as he did so. There was no way as little water as he had in it could seriously stop that thing, but he focused on it anyway, using the same calm force of will he usually used to summon Gengen.

"Run!" The command wasn't necessary, but he said it anyway in a strike of habit as he pulled the trigger, his Meister ability enhancing the trickle of water into short barely visible streaks as they hit the kishin egg at high speed. It was a last ditch effort to get the kishin eggs attention, but it still left him stumbling and reeling for a moment. Gritting his teeth, he smirked at Tifa. "A Keikain Onmyouji doesn't run as long as there's still a way to win the battle. Change already."

As they ran out of the way enough, Tifa hurried them along as well to the other side a wall they could stop beside for a moment. Ryuuji's water-gun trick might distract it for a moment, but it would probably catch up to them in no time.

She wished they had more than a moment. She'd never transformed before; hell, she didn't even know what weapon she might be. But now was not the time to hesitate or bring up these concerns to the smirking man beside her. She just had to concentrate. Hearing the kishin approaching and feeling the desperation to fight it combined to help her transform, and beside Ryuuji now lay a large glove, oddly shaped and bright blue in color, almost like a strange boxing glove.

The water attack did annoy the kishin enough for it to back off, with an indignant shriek and a shake of its head. It then eyed Tifa's transformation with open suspicion. It knew, instinctively, that that could be a very bad thing.

That wasn't enough to override its need to attempt to kill them both, however. It was preparing to charge again.

Ryuuji gave the glove a short unreadable glance that was about as close to an open display of worry as he would allow himself to get during a battle. That thing was a glove, right? Damn, he wasn't good at all with physical battles. That was one of the reasons why he had teamed up with that big lug Mamiru - in a direct battle, size DID matter and it was something Ryuuji didn't have. Unfortunately Mamiru wasn't there to fight for them and he was about as likely to come as his stamina was to suddenly recover. They would have to end this quickly and he would have to trust the woman to do her part, no matter how much he disliked to rely on people he knew nothing about.

Seeing the kishin egg approach Ryuuji tsk-ed and quickly removed one of his gloves so that he could replace it with the Weapon. The glove felt like it wasn't fitting quite right and he felt clumsy with it but he faced the enemy anyway, teeth bared into a smug grin. "You don't know how much I regret having to do this."

All the information Tifa had been given about the weapon-meister system and resonation hadn't prepared her for this. It was an awkward fit, like something wasn't connecting. But he was able to use her, so that had to say something. She still felt that she could, in a way, read into him better this way, strange as it was.

You feel it, right? You know how to attack once we're like this?

She hoped she was right, that the information on how to use a glove like herself would just be transferred through their connection. He didn't fight with his fists, of course she could tell that. But if they could just make it work enough to get through this fight...

Oblivious to their troubles, the kishin egg came at them, jaws snapping. Its tail was rearing up as well, as if it was going to whip at them again.

Yeah. Situations like this are nothing new to me, so trust me.

That was a lie as it was the first time that Ryuuji had to deal with a thing like the approaching kishin egg but he had a notion that it would be better if they remained as confident as they could.

Seeing the kishin egg rushing at them he forced himself to spent important second making sure his wide sleeve wouldn't get in the the way. Waiting until the very last moment, he dove to the side, swinging his glove-armed fist towards the kishin egg's face with all his might. Aiming for the vulnerable parts like this was risky enough to be just stupid when one had a secure aim what Ryuuji hadn't at the moment, but hell, his ruses hadn't been as effective as he had hoped and this last-ditch attempt on a lucky hit was all they could do to survive this fight.

Tifa wouldn't have timed his attack any better herself. He may not have been a physical fighter, but he clearly had been in battles before and she was impressed with the way he kept focused. The hit seemed to come off well, and she braced herself for another attack in case this one didn't do the trick.

The blow stunned the kishin egg, at least: it had not expected its prey to resist so much. The monster howled, jumping back a little, shaking its head as if to clear it.

Ryuuji cursed under his breath as it turned out that while he had managed to hit, it hadn't been enough. Straightening back up as if to invite it to another attack, he silently addressed Tifa in a low murmur.

"Looks like this one didn't do it either. Sorry, Miss, but you better hold steady."

Then he charged at the creature, weapon raised, despite knowing better than that.

(ooc: Sorry, but do you guys mind if we wrap this up? I'm running out of steam and ideas here. TAT; )

The first attack felt well-delivered, despite their shaky resonation. This hit boosted Tifa's confidence in the method they were using, and with that their resonation got a boost as well. The next attack was stronger now, but after it was delivered, her energy felt like it flooded out of her. They wouldn't be able to maintain it after this, so Tifa hoped this would do the trick.

oh, sure. o3o kishinegg November 8 2011, 09:17:18 UTC
That, coupled with the fact that it had not quite recovered from the blow, took the kishin off of its feet. It crumpled to the ground with a shriek, and when it attempted to get up, it could not get its legs out from under it.

It should be easy to take care of it now.

ty <3 you were a joy to thread with!<333 jerkisjerk November 13 2011, 05:53:33 UTC
Ryuuji noticed their fluctuation of power as they delivered the hits and cursed silently at it - they meant that they were getting rapidly closer to running out of time and what was worse, not only him but the girl as well! Pushing himself past his limits, he delivered a last blow towards the kishin egg's head that combined all of the Weapon's powers his own technique into one.

Then he collapsed with a gasp next to it, fighting off the feeling that his head might burst at any moments notice and that the world was spinning like crazy. How damn disgraceful-!

Agreed, thank you! <3 heart_rhythm November 18 2011, 02:21:59 UTC
Once the blow was delivered and it seemed to be defeated, Tifa felt she couldn't hold her weapon form anymore and transformed back, dropped to her knees next to Ryuuji. He seemed just as spent as her, so she didn't feel as embarrassed about how exhausted she felt.

Well. Her first battle here, and it hadn't gone too badly. Neither her nor Ryuuji seemed too badly injured, and they had taken down the creature. Wiping sweat off her forehead with the back of her wrist, she looked over at him and gave a little nod, "Not bad."
