[PP - F19] Ticking Time <<Town Wreckers>>

[Beatbox 0]

This was a floor that Beatbox personally did not explore after the boss raid, he had been mostly getting himself mostly known around every floor there is possible, getting to know the areas and especially getting the SP needed to get him to level 50. He had recently had gotten a lot of personal changes done to himself, last night he had died his hair and fully decided to wear the red and white clothing representing his current guild. The word was spreading around after the last boss fight about a new Quest that was around... it's said it was so hard that not a solo player was able to defeat it, that thought had honestly worried the greenish-blue haired fighter. He had taken a deep breath and opened his menu to message a friend that could hopefully help him out with this battle... @Seul.

To: Seul

Topic: New Quest

Hey Seul, if you have the time, the word has been spreading around on floor 19 about a new quest. I'll need your help, word is a solo player was unable to defeat it on his loansome. Mind lending a hand?

 

[Seul 1]

The last few days were spent up on the 19th floor, just exploring the area and the ruins toward in the center of the level. Seul hadn't really stopped to listen to rumors during that time, but thankfully other players were there to keep him in the loop. Beatbox sent him a message explaining the appearance of a new quest, one that couldn't be beaten alone it seemed. Although he tended to act on his own these days, having someone like Beatbox along for as a requirement for a quest didn't sound too bad. With that in mind he sent a quick reply back to mark his approval before heading to meet up with the man.

***

“Hey, I'm ready when you are. Mobs are a pain to fight alone on this floor so I can see why someone would have problems.” He said without really stopping to ask questions. He just figured things would just explained on the way to… Wherever it was they were going.

Beatbox had looked over to Seul's appearance, he was a little surprised he didn't say anything about his new look... but eh, who honestly cared? "The town in which the quest had spoke of is close by, speaking of which... it sounds like we'll be needing a potion or two..." he had opened his inventory and pulled out two Major Damage Potions and two Major Mitigation Potions, and handed one of each to Seul "Here, drink up Buttercup. We'll need it from what I have heard." after handing Seul the potions he had reluctantly guzzled them both down despite their bland yet bitter taste. He nodded his head and sent a party invitation to make sure that everything was going to be in order with this quest and started to walk in the town's direction... he could only imagine the pain and suffering the NPC's have to go through with the bomb's... although he had never seen one of these floating "bombs" before so this was going to be a experience all on his own. As they both had made it to the town a menu had opened up in front of the both of them, saying that if you accept this button the quest will begin, Beatbox had clicked the accept button and waited for @Seul to accept as well.

Seul took the potions and drank them down quickly, letting his face twist in disgust slightly as he did. He tossed away the bottles before pressing the accept button for the party invite and later the quest button. He still wasn't quite sure what they were supposed to be doing, but now they were in a town for some reason.

“So… What're we supposed to be doing?” He asked while glancing around. He didn't see anything too out of the ordinary, but that probably wouldn't last too long given the quest already started. Drawing his blade he brought it up to rest on his shoulder before stepping further into the town. As if Aincrad itself could hear him the world began to react. The sky turned red and tons of strange looking monsters descended from the sky all across town. Preparing for the worst seemed like the best option for now.

“I guess that answers my question.”

Beatbox had looked over with a smile at his question about what they were supposed to be doing, the objective was rather simple... stop the town from being destroyed. "Protect the town from being destroyed. Simple." he said with a chuckle, once Seul had clicked the accept button, the sky had turned red... from the center of the town he saw the Mom-Bomb grow menacingly in the center with a force shield being shot up into the air preventing them from attacking it. "Figures." he said with a grow, he had saw the boss roar out and 12 bombs had formed from it fly around the Mom-Bomb before separating into groups and flying to three different buildings, he had looked back to Seul and said "Come on, lets hurry. We can't spend too much time waiting around and taking our time. The clock is ticking." he said as he started to sprint in one direction "If you want to follow then follow, but if you are wanting, you can go to a different location, either or is fine." he then turned back around and started to run towards the building.

-----

@Seul - Roll for their attack against the buildings, remember that they have 1 acc and they can miss, but if they hit you know the deal ;)

[Seul 1]

Just as quickly as they had arrived chaos ensued. It seemed the only way to get through this was to take care of the lesser monsters first that were wreaking havoc across the town. Beatbox had yelled about either following or splitting up before running off in the opposite direction. Although he wasn't too fond of the idea of separating, they didn't have much of a choice. The longer they fooled around with the bombs the more damage they would cause so Seul decided to head toward one of the other buildings that was under attack.

Of course he was going to arrive too late and the bombs would have destroyed a good portion of the place before he could step in to stop them. Time was their biggest enemy in this fight it and every second from here out would need to be carefully planned and accounted for if they were going to succeed.

As Beatbox had arrived to the building, he had noticed that the damage was already done, Beatbox had growled and unsheathed his sword and activated his charge skill and charged forward towards the four bombs and stuck them with the shadowed darkness that lied in his sword. The four bombs had looked over to Beatbox, it seemed that he had gotten their attention now, they had looked over with a laugh as they then started to float closer and closer to the greenish blue haired Player and he took a step back for a moment, they had looked rather terrifying... he hoped that he wouldn't be in the center of their detonations, that would be something that would be rather... unfortunate. But he continued to look forward, this was something that Beatbox had to confront without fear. These mobs were going to be something that was going to be challenging to take down, especially if they can explode at any moment.

Just as he figured the bombs were already busy at work trying to level the entire building. Seul spun his blade around in a few practice swings, letting the holy light shine as he ran toward the monsters. They were quick little pests it seemed and usually he'd have trouble with hitting such fast moving targets, but a little luck along with the concentration skill were always big helps with these sorts of things.

Once he was near he activated Calamity Disaster and tore into the bomb group with six slashes from different angles. He probably wouldn't be able to perform the same feat twice in a row, but at least for now one of the locations would be safe from harm. The bombs had taken notice of him, of course, and would probably attack in a few moments.

“Exploding enemies… Now I think I've actually seen it all in this game.”

Time was on the essence and Beatbox could not just stand there and be slightly intimidated by the floating bombs all day, he had lunged forward to hit all of them, however the bomb's doing a semi midair back flip to get out of the way. Beatbox looked at them and choked on his own spit for a moment, he knew that this was good, he had wasted an attack that he shouldn't have. Then the bombs in unison tried to headbutt Beatbox with the force of their head, however Beatbox managed to get out of the way of their strikes, he had seen something appear above the heads of the bombs, a number going from 3 to 2... Beatbox's eyes widened and thought to himself "A-a countdown? This cannot be good..." he shook his head violently as this possibly cannot be good as he could only imagine what is happening at the last building with no one to help it.

Getting attacked by the bombs wasn’t quite as bad as he thought it would be, but there was no telling how much longer that'd last. Monsters on these floors were prone to being stronger than anything he ever faced in the past. Seul swung his sword at the explosive creatures, but of course he wouldn't be so lucky twice in a row. The bombs simply dodged his blade as it passed by, then went on their way to continue on with their destructive tirade.

“Damn it!” He yelled. He didn't have time to play around with the bombs in this area forever. The longer he stayed here the more the town was bound to suffer at the will of the other bombs spread across town. This was too much for the two players to handle it seemed and the insanity of the situation was starting to show through with the sounds of explosions going off in the distance.

Beatbox shook his head, he needed to get this quest done as soon as possible... meaning he had looked back to the bombs that had 2's above their heads as they ticked down when they were about to explode. Beatbox didn't studder, he didn't lose focus on the task that was at had, he had charged his sword up once more to strike at all of them, however he had unfortunately missed them all... which was a unfortunate turn that he didn't want to miss in all honesty. Then the bombs then decided to laugh out as they had tried to attack out to Beatbox, Seul, and the other building. However in result they had missed Beatbox... he was hoping that they had missed Seul and the buildings too... this would be very unfortunate if we had lost a building due to the evasiveness. The timer above their heads had ticked down more, he had looked at them with fear... they were about to explode.

Seul spun around on his heel with his blade outstretched in an attempt to hit the bombs, but the futility of it all was really starting to wear down on him. He could hit them, but at least for now they weren't dealing any damage to his health or the surrounding buildings. Oddly enough this was the preferred result since no one was getting hurt.

The number floating above their heads though probably wasn't a good sign of what was to come. Every time they attacked it ticked down one and considering their method for attack, they were likely going to go “boom” once the number hit zero. Was there any way he could stop them before that happened?! And what of Beatbox? He was aware the guy was a capable fighter, but if he was struggling to kill the bombs by himself then he couldn't imagine things being much different on his friends end.
