[F19-PP] Sunrise Showdown <<Keep Calm and Ki'Raion>>

[NIGHT 0]

<<Keep Calm and Ki'Raion>>

Hehe. Big kitty.

I mean, what?

The next venture for the power-levelling trio was off to the big fluffy kitty back up on the nineteenth (hey, they were a trio, right? Maybe they should have some sea-salt ice cream or something). If NIGHT recalled correctly, it had managed to give her a good thrashing the other time. Perhaps, she'd hoped, this round with the beast would go a little bit differently.

That, and NIGHT's armor set had been swapped to something more accommodating for its erratic temperaments. Hopefully it might be up to snuff against the snuggly foe.

She'd miraculously (as always) made it to the settlement before her peers did. No dungeons to be found so far, but being in town did nothing for her perception for the establishments. With a nod and a wave to the two, she'd turn to Yuki with a warning.

"Don't trust me on this one."

Yuki worked her way on to the floor with a stretch of her arms. Yet another boss that needed to be finished. She was starting to run out of doable quests, which was disheartening to be honest. If she couldn't gain experience from newly done quests, she would have to redo them and get only the boss's experience gain, not the quest's experience gain any more. She was getting so close to level 60 and still had heard anything about what her place would be in the front lines just yet. She figured that if she could reach that level in a timely fashion that they would have to allow her the chance to come with them.

The chances of death with probable, and she wanted to be ready for anything, which meant more levels and more grinding. As Night piped up, she noticed that Jack's Executioner was missing from her usual gear. She wouldn't ask why and old nods.

This can get tiring but I like it...

Another quest that he hasn't done yet. This could be of great help to him, another monster to slay. "We should call ourselves the monster hunter club," he told them. With the way things are now, Yuki might be reaching her goal of entering the frontlines on the player level that is on the safe side. He was glad to be of help to her and maybe one day they could battle together. There was Night also, if only he could find the right choice of words to her he would thank her for being there for Yuki, also for helping him make things easier. With these thoughts now set aside, he can proceed with the quest.

"Ki'raion..." he gave a disintered face "I hope this guy doesn't use crayons to attack us" he uttered. He checked his equipment to make sure he has everything he needs "ok I've got the blessed marble for Night, just let me know if it gets dangerous" he told them as he finalizes his equips.

No word from Yuki. The paladin only nodded once to show an affirmation, but NIGHT knew the real danger wouldn't show until she'd actually laid her eyes on the boss itself. As Crow spoke up about using his supportive skills, the woman hummed in agreement, gesturing them to follow. The walk to Ki'Raion's territory wasn't far, and the beast was sure to be upon them rather than them finding it first, so she wasn't too troubled about searching for their quarry.

"I think it's more like 'Energy Lion'... right? Leave it up to this game to give it the strangest on-the-nose names. I don't think we'll be in any real danger; I wasn't the last time I was fighting it, but it never hurts to be careful."

Soon they were within the beast's vicinity. Strangely enough, it hadn't spotted them just yet as NIGHT ushered them to a side.

-- It's just as cute as always...!

The boss was supposedly stronger in the sunlight, so Yuki had to be on her guard. There were healing mechanics and this could be a tough boss if those procced often enough enough. She readied herself, walking onto the battlefield with the giant mane of a lion. She looked over to Night, who had that slightly giddy look that she had when they came fact to face with feline bosses. Man, she was never going to take this woman through Nemean Lion.

The paladin summoned her massive horn from the smaller one and grinned. Howl wasn't that bad when you took some fun into it. She blew in a breath and let it out into the brass instrument. A shock wave of blue light and sound emitted from the horn sending the lion's mane flying back behind it in the wind. It growled angrily, and pounced towards Yuki. It slashes her with her giant claw, doing effectively one point of damage.

A majestic beast, that's what Crozeph saw and he was so amazed by it that if Yuki didn't use her howl he'd be staring at it. The horn was like a wake-up call to hi every time he hears it. "Wait we're fighting it head-on?" he quickly rushed towards it as soon as Yuki got it's attention "I feel like I'm inside God Eater rather than SAO," he thought as he closes the distance between him and the beast. It seems stronger with sunlight "that's dangerous" he said. Yes, it is dangerous for Crozeph but not to Yuki. 

He slashed at the legs of Ki'Raion landing cuts as fast as he can. It was the concept of his style, to land as many attacks as he can in one motion. He was still far from Baldur's level of attacking but he might try to at least be on competent as part of his school. He skidded away as soon as he finished attacking. "My freeze didn't activate yet," he thought.

And then she couldn't take it anymore.

NIGHT had to cuddle the big kitty.

As her squad mates started to rush into battle, NIGHT was with them every step of the way -- and afterwards. When Ki'Raion swung its tail around, another challenge to the determined samurai, it was intercepted by a completely infatuated player instead, picking up and holding its appendage with her arms. The woman had a wide, entranced smile as she gently ran her now ungloved hands over the creature's fur, a look so enraptured there might've been sparkles to go along with her captivation.

Needless to say, Ki'Raion was not happy with the outcome. In a few seconds, NIGHT's grip only strengthened, even as the creature were to rise and dart it around in annoyance. The woman squealed as she held on; a comedic display for sure, but nonetheless NIGHT had what she came here for.

A chance to pet the kitty.

As soon as she'd seen that this boss was a lion, she knew that Night might go to her usual motion of wanting to love the damn thing while it was attempting to murder her. She sighed, but this time, she was well equipped to handle the threat at hand and her edgy damage duo wouldn't be in any danger as long as she continued the aggro like she normally does.

"Don't kill yourself Night." She said raising her own sword. The weapon slashed a thin red mark against Ki'Raion, leaving no effective damage behind in it's wake but still. Her damage was always insignificant,  but it was only to get the attention of the bosses. Which it did. The lion swiped its claw against Yuki, showing it who was the boss by actually dealing sustained damage against her. Hunh, its been awhile. Fortunately, her battle healing would activate and heal her up soon.

Crozeph kept on staring at the mane of Ki'Raion, it was majestic as cats or his familiar Pramanix. This was his problem with mobs, the cuter and more majestic they are, the more Crozeph will admire it. Night fell victim to the beast's features and went to hug it, which was not surprising for Crozeph. He made his way just beside the beast and tried to attack but Ki'Raion moved and bumped into Crozeph who felt the fur, or was it even fur?

He moved back and tried to recover by trying again but the beast kept on moving and dodging his attempts "damn it, if this creature had extra legs I'd feel no remorse for it" he thought. He quickly chased at it, hoping to land a good blow on its body before it can even deal more damage to his girlfriend.

She'd clambered up to the back of its nape just in time for the beast to dance around the battlefield. Atop the cat's back, the world felt like a whirling wonderland, NIGHT's cheek pressed to the lush mane as it tickled at her skin in the rush. Delightful. The player believed she could sleep on Ki'Raion, had it not been so forceful or active. It was with a mournful sigh that she realized since her dream had been achieved, it was up to her (and her party) to put down this baby kitty for good.

When the boss slowed its advances towards Yuki, NIGHT jabbed a blade into its hide. No reaction, but she hadn't intended to take a stab at its health bar just yet. With her support's help, she rose from its fluff, pulling her sword from its body. A flush of white centered upon a point on its amber coat and Ki'Raion let out a ghastly howl.

Seeing that Night was having trouble with getting a good, well deserved pat to the big ol' cat, Yuki figured she might as well make it's last moments a calm one. So that she could give it a nice little pet before it passed back into the Cardinal as data. Her fist shined with it's beautiful radiance and charged in her fist. A wide haymaker connected with Ki'Raion's chest knocking it to it's knees and leaving it winded from the looks of it. Yuki looked up to Night and gestured to the big cat with a smile.

"Last time I promised that I would let you have a good look at the cats, so there you go. Go wild. Just please make sure it dies." She said giving her a thumbs up. When the Ki'raion got back up, if it did, it likely wouldn't have much time to react to what Night was going to finish it with.

The big cat stopped moving and this was the best chance he could get. Three quick steps and he got close and then slashed methodically as much as possible at Ki'Raion. the creature doesn't seem to feel anything or rather it was already stunned to even react. Yuki is doing a good job of neutralizing enemies, if only he could do the same. It would be impossible to pull off since he only has freeze as his enhancement. It was already a huge help, that is if Skadi would freeze more frequently.

Crozeph made his way back beside Yuki, Ki'Raion is going down on Night's attack anyway "hey, does Night like fluffy creatures?" he asked Yuki. For a long time he only saw Night as eighty percent edgy but somehow this was surprising to him. "I was expecting you to be the one who goes all fluffy to it" he told Yuki as he looked at her best friend with a confused look on his face.

It was selfish of NIGHT to continue lounging around on the lion's back. But she did it anyway. Kitty fluffy, so soft, so comfy.

=,,uwu,,=)

It had lead to the unfortunate unsteadying of the player as it reeled back to leap around the battlefield again, the woman on its fur nearly slipping off of its hold had she not been holding tightly onto the sword still sunk in its skin for her dear life. The press of fluff against her cheeks was unwarranted but welcome. All NIGHT had to do was try not to suffocate as she'd pressed herself back against its body, doing her best not to be thrown off of the wild, raging beast.

Ki'Raion seemed to mind. Its dance took it past Crow, then to Yuki, before tearing off through the skies into clearer grounds once again. In two more winding bounds it went straight for the tank; whether or not it would strike her on its abandon had yet to be seen.

Yuki raised her sword as the beast came barreling towards her. The damage this thing could do without much effort was a bit unsettling so she wasn't going to just let it hit her like this. It was made even easier thanks to Night bear hugging the poor thing. As it came towards her she rolled out of the way and left a slashed read mark on it's leg. No damage, but it was going to die sooner or later with that amount of health remaining anyway.

As Crozeph returned to her side, he asked her a question about Night's love for fluffy creatures. "She likes cats. A lot." She said simply watching the girl fight with the big cat some more. Whether or not she was trying to kill it or to hug it remained to be seen. Her swooning love could easily be mistaken for Canadian bear wrestling.

Crozeph just stood there still admiring its fur "I like cats too" he uttered. It would probably be a bad idea to let him face felines who are mobs in Aincrad as is would take time for him to be convinced that cat-like creatures can be dangerous to him. Ki'Raion was already convincing him with its mane that it's not that dangerous and with Yuki tanking, it seems Crozeph will take his time killing it off.

"H-hey does it look like Night is doing damage to it? maybe we should tell her that it's dangerous despite looking majestic" he told Yuki as he remained by her side looking at Ki'Raion and Night "they look like that Princess Mononoke movie" he uttered as he chuckled. Crozeph wasn't able to attack, maybe on the next chance he gets.

Oh, NIGHT was definitely doing her job, for sure. Yup. Just uh, just give her a moment.

 

 

 

Okay? Moment over. Two darkened marks on the Ki'Raion's fluff sullied its fine fur as NIGHT clambered onto proper grounding upon the creature's back. It may have been fast, even relentless in its tedious bouncing around the field, but the fact that it still had to stop to catch a breather was fine opportunity for the player to sunder it apart.

The feline finished its last assault trying to wriggle its parasite free from its back, landing on four solid paws after its incredible backflip -- what was it, a signature move of the beast? NIGHT pulled her blade from its spine and brought it up in a slash. The wash of white across its back not only buried its health bar six feet under, it also shattered the collision box that NIGHT found herself standing upon.

Oops. It was with a heavy heart that she took a dive to the floor.

As Night plummeted to the ground, Yuki rushed over to try and catch her. Unfortunately, she wasn't fast enough, and her damage buddy collided with the grass unceremoniously. When her tank finally caught up she looked down on her and grinned. "Had your fair fill of over grown kittens then?" She asked, reaching down to help her to feet.

Well, that was yet another boss down and out. Sooner or later, she was going to run out of doable quests for their experience and she was fretting that the most. She had gained nearly 20 levels in such a short time because of all of these quests that she still needed to do and she was just barely edging level 60. How she was able to get all of this done before the floor boss fight came around she had no idea. Perhaps everyone just needed more time to prepare, which benefited to her grinding spree a lot.

Crozeph gave it a hard thought after hearing what Yuki said "is it considered a kitten if it's that big?" he asked as if it was an important question to him "if that's a kitten then its mother would be three or four times bigger then..." he looked at Yuki and pointed at Night "she would probably lose her coolness factor if we saw her cuddling a bigger Ki'Raion" he added. A very weird and a bit stupid question or rather thinking. To Yuki and Night, it might sound like a kid asking where the rain comes from but this was his nature, he asks questions weird enough no matter how honest he was on asking.

"I never thought there was this many quests, I guess I was tackling those that I can solo way back but..." he stretched his arms "looks like our job is done here now that Crayon is dead." The day was still bright enough but their quest was already done, such was the fate of monsters when facing players on the two girl's level. Now Crozeph must figure out how to manage his build to be more efficient or else he'll just turn out as an extra member of the party with no other role than do extra.

It was with a stifled groan and a pitiful cat-like mew that NIGHT took her paladin's hand, pulling herself up from the dirt. Wobbling feet and wavering eyes; the player was satisfied that their mark had been slain, but was still in mourning over the loss of such an amazing creature. She knew it would be back, it was life under Aincrad after all, but it was so big and fluffy and amazingly sweet...!

"Never." A hushed response to Yuki as she wiped the glaze off her eyes, before she was gestured over to by Crow.

"... She would probably lose her coolness factor if we saw her cuddling a bigger Ki'Raion."

Coolness factor? Cue the panic. NIGHT hadn't realized she had one built up in the first place. What was once a delicate blossom across her cheeks started to spread into a scarlet. From a quick shuffle through her inventory, she let a blue blocky quartz form in her hand, and her lips tightened as NIGHT crushed it in her hand, making unwavering eye contact marking her embarrassment with the couple as she vanished.

"--Bye--!"

Yuki sighed after Night teleported off, wasting a crystal when she could have easily just walked off and been done with it. If she didn't want to stick around, then she could just say so. Not that the teleportation crystals were necessarily difficult to get a hold of. They were pretty cheap. Yuki looked over to Crow, who seemed just as confused as her. She shrugged and started to lead the way back home.

"Well, that was fun. More experience is more experience. Just a little more and I'll be prepared for the worst Crow. I don't want to worry you too much about me going into the front lines. I promise that I'll come out of it alive. I wouldn't offer my services to be apart of this raid if I wasn't confident in my ability to survive it. Now, let's go home and get something to eat and rest a bit."
