[F9-PP] Clash of Steel vs. Iron (Iron Guardian)

[Raidou 1]

A message sent to a contact of his, Argus. He was one of the info brokers that he frequented and he needed more information regarding the iron giants quest this floor had on its board. Traveling into Vulcan through the heats that bothered him little, a quaffed potion reducing his body temperature to manageable levels. "Argus." Raidou comments just the single phrase to the tavern owner who was wiping out the inside of a tankard with a white rag.

The barkeep simply raises a pointed index, showing the red wanderer to the chiseled and tanned gentleman he was seeking. "Do you have what I asked?" Raidou asks him not to take a seat given he had more work to do and had not the time to squander. "Yeah, you got the coin? All three correct?" he smiles eyeballing Raidou's book as it is removed from his robe pocket. "Correct. Your payment." the nomad comments tossing a contained bag of coin atop the rounded table's surface.

"Pleasure doing business, when are you selling that book?"

"Never, I'll contact you again If I need you Argus." with a skip of his robe that shifts as he turns to leave. Outside in the main village location, Raidou goes through the routine of transcribing the purchased information, sending messages to the guild's combat captains and Eruda. They would need to test what the boss was capable and designate if the knowledge purchased was accurate or not before bringing others along for the ride.

"Floor 9, Vulcan Village. I need you to help me confirm the accuracy of this information."

Haine, as finnicky as ever, wanted some cosmetic adjustments for her armor. She'd spent the morning explaining it to Setsuna, who had probably rolled her eyes a thousand times trying to explain she couldn't encrust the entire thing in diamonds and jewels. She curled her bottom lip into a pout and redesigned what she needed. Her garb was her baby, she deserved the best. God forbid if she found another better looking costume than hers. She handed the little sketch to the woman, her threatening aura almost intimidating her away. How could such a cute girl look eternally dead inside? The bluenette shivered. She slapped the slip onto the table and rushed out.

She stepped outside, searching for her love who'd been busy down the street. "Kiiiil?" she called out? "Kil, where are youu?" A mop of white was pretty easy to spot, and that particular mop of white hair had been facing the other way. She crept up behind him and whispered in his ear. "Boo." Did it work? Did she scare him this time?

Secret number one. Kiluia is ticklish behind his ear. When he heard her whisper in his ear, he jumped and hit his head on top of the wooden stall he was looking at for materials for fresh vegetable. Bang. The top of his head was met with a hard thud. He rubbed the top of his head quickly but realized, pain was not really an issue here. He turned around and picked up the small framed woman. With her in his arms, he moved away from the stall and the people.

He leaned in and kissed her forehead. “That’s mean…” He would look at her. A slight shake of his head as he set her down. He was not upset in the least. He was feigning it to get her to loosen her guard before he would attack her sides. He looked at her and tilted his head. They were out and about but had no real direction for the day.

Eruda was going through the papers on the guild's table when her HUD chimes. It was Raidou asking for her help this time. She did not hesitate, placing the sheets back where they were. Walking out of the guildhall she heads to the warp gate. Arriving at floor 9 where she found herself more often these days. Looking around she sees no one...she seemed to be the first in the floor. Looking around the town that she was in on floor 9, she opens her HUD again making sure that it was this floor that Raidou told her. Sure enough, it was so she walks to the quest board after closing her HUD and leans against the side waiting for Raidou to appear. Knowing that he probably invited a few other as well, she keeps a lookout for any other familiar faces. Wiping her brow from the heat, she readjusts her new armor and waits.

[Raidou 1]

Still sifting through the book in his hands, reading through the diagnostic carefully making sure there was nothing he had missed at first glance while traversing through the village. He seemed completely comfortable despite the heat, pleasures of being an alchemist is you tend to have an answer for most uncomfortable situations. "Ah Eruda." Raidou comments noticing the blonde tank leaned softly against the board. He opens the board and folds the book, placing it into his robe and progressing through the scrolling list in front of him with a parading hand like a conductor before he stops it dead on the quest in question. "We are undertaking Iron Guardian, I need to confirm that what I had received is accurate enough to bring others through and that there are no pieces of information left in enigma." he clarifies rather vaguely as he would dive into further description once the others had arrived. "How have things been." Raidou commented to the girl a tad unsure what to say as he steeled himself what was to come next.

Raidou activates Vengeful Riposte!

Her lips curved into a narrow 'O' as she noted his reaction. She brushed it aside with a slight smirk, stepping in front of him. The look was quickly wiped off her face as she squeaked, flailing in the other's arms. She giggled as he kissed her forehead. Her feet met the ground and she draped her arms around his shoulders, looking into his soft eyes. The sun's ray's drew out the honey in them, they were a mesmerizing sight. She noted his falling expression, none the wiser. She curled her bottom lip in an exaggerated display of sadness. "But I was just having fuuun. It worked, didn't it?" She tilted her head, a toothy smile taking over her expression. "Who knew you had sensitive ears," she commented, in a sing-song tone. She brought her fingertips to his ear and tapped it, poking fun at him. It was typical of them to jest around with each other.

[Kiluia Seiko 0]

Ping. A message came through to him that he had not noticed before. A perk of his brow was given as he pulled open his HUD while playing with her hair absentmindedly. Shoot. This message was sent awhile ago from Raidou. He did not see the message the first time due to being startled at first. He read the message quickly and looked over at her. “I do indeed have sensitive ears, love. We gotta go though. Raidou is askin for quest help.” He was excited to be doing more quests now.

Hand with hers he took her to the designated spot as to where they were supposed to go. They had arrived on the 9^th floor that was deemed the quest floor and he started to reach the meeting spot. He closed in on the duo waving. “Sorry. I didn’t see the message fast enough. I apologize for being a bit late.” He squeezed Haine’s hand lightly while greeting them. “Hello Raidou and Eruda.” He shot a smile at the two before looking around them. He hadn’t been on this floor often enough.

[Eruda 0]

Raidou approached her soon after she got there. Eruda's face lit up with the joy of seeing him again. "Good, how about you?" Eruda replies as she didn't know what to say either. They talked about going out again, but nothing has come up yet. She would wait until both of them were ready to bring it up again. Watching Haine and Kiluia show up she smiles toward them. She was becoming more comfortable every day around people give that she was forcing herself to interact with others via the quests that she has been doing. Looking toward Raidou with a determined face now focusing on the objective with the others gathered now saying "The Iron Guardian, what do we need to know about this quest." Eruda waits patiently for Raidou to speak. As soon as Raidou would move to start heading to the destination, Eruda would follow in toe with his movements.

 

[Raidou 1]

Paying his friends a rather subtle smile, a soft nod of his head "Thanks for joining me on this. I am not sure what we are dealing with outside of this slip of paper. Describes a hulking behemoth and multiple lesser knights. Once they have been felled, I will turn it into the requesting info broker for a reward. It is a name I have not heard before, something seems off" keeping with routine and offering a full diagnostic. He turns and begins to head toward the expected starting point, hoping those in tow would follow behind his footfalls. Barely noticeable with care, Raidou offers a black vial up to his sleeve to the concealed familiar. It disappears and returns empty, an offering to the black symbiotic creature who aids him in combat. This was the final step before things would become heated, but for the tactician that always prepares himself.

A message on his HUD interrupted the conversation. A request to party for a quest? For Firm Anima, they would always lend a hand. She called a raincheck on their little date and made haste for the rendezvous point. They were, as expected, later than all the others. Eruda and Raidou were waiting at the town square, she could only hope they weren't waiting for long. Today left little room for chit chat, the other two discussing the specs of the quest. She nodded along intently, it seemed like a task she could handle.

And with that, the quartet set off for their destination. The magma covered floor was a sight to behold, with hills of oozing magma in the distance and a film of ash trickling down from the gloomy skies. She coughed into her sleeve and kept moving, trying to disregard the sweltering heat. The quest marker dinged, and from the ashy clouds emerged four knights. They were guarding a massive behemoth, marching towards the group in perfect formation. Haine quirked a brow and surveyed the playing field. Those things? Cake.

She stepped in front of the others. "Leave it to me!" She gave them a playful come hither as they pointed their blades, letting them advance together. Conveniently enough, all four had come within relatively similar range. She knew just the trick. With a trained pivot on her heels, she swung her spear and jabbed at each knight consecutively. One by one they fell, leaving one remaining. She maneuvered around it and drove the tip of the glaive into the foe's helmet. 

"All done!"

She dusted her hands and fixed her attention on the hideous behemoth, unguarded and ready to be demolished.

The guardian started to spawn into play after the destruction of the knights. As the Guardian came into view, Kiluia, who was beside Haine one moment, disappeared and behind the Guardian’s left side blindside. Somehow, he was in midair without moving. His eyes focused heavily on one focal point of the Guardians Iron helm and honed in. His arm shot forth with his fist clenched firing on all cylinders. The impact of the hand on metal cracked like a shotgun shell firing. (All Might- 14 EN)

The guardian stumbled forward after getting the back of the helmet smashed in causing a ringing sound. Kiluia landed on his feet and bounced back. His hand had taken damage from not recoil but the thorns from the guardians ability. Things certainly wouldn’t die without fighting back. It’d be too easy. He looked over at Eruda with a nod to her it acknowledged it was her turn to fight back. “

Eruda walks with the group in silence. Getting to the location there are 4 knights who Haine easily swipes down in one fell swoop. Next, the bigger guy, the Iron Guardian slowly walking toward us as Kiluia takes action with him first. Eruda sees the Guardian's health bar deplete a good chunk. Kiluia looks to Eruda and she tried to follow up. Eruda starts to glow a faint blue and then nothing and she tries to activate an Art but as Eruda ran toward the very large figure it was not having it. Upon activation, the Iron Guardian throws his metal plates arm in Eruda's direction. Clashing against her shield with it seemed to be stronger than her, forcing Eruda to fly backwards, sliding on the ground that was placed beneath Raidou's feet. The giant figure roars loudly and looks to Eruda and then Kiluia trying to pick its target. Eruda gets to her feet and looks to Raidou saying "Kill it before it can attack, that is our best option right now."

The group quickly tears through the forces that move to meet them, each proving their capabilities.

Ripping the damage weapon from its scabbard in a pulse of sunlight, practically weightless by comparison to his tanking one it glows hot. The cardinal system obliges his request as it amplifies even further into a blinding shine, spreading his legs apart and hunching low. He kicks off like on a track, casting tufts of dust at rapid speed. The blade is driven through the armor as it takes on a red hot glow, the edge slides through the torso. Raidou pivots and rips the blade upward, dissecting his target through its top section before he continues the spin and cleaves its midsection across like a plus sign. It shatters and produces a bit of wind pressure that causes his gear to flutter at the kill.

"If that is all." Raidou comments "I will finish speaking to the info broker, feel free to carry on with your day." to the others, he had a sickly growing suspicion about this broker he had not known.

The hideous behemoth was brought to its demise by the hand of his skillful guild mates. She clapped at the sidelines, watching as the hideous thing was dissected, falling over in a heap. It materialized into nothingness, signifying their victory. At that, Raidou had business to tend to. It was time to leave for the day. "Bye Eruda! Love the hair by the way, this ribbon's cute on you." She smiled softly at the blonde and clasped her hands together. She turned to Rai. "Later cap!" She shot him a  peace and turned on the balls of her heels.

She hooked her arm around Kiluia's. "What do you wanna do now? Should we get back to shopping?" Her mind wandered back to the fruit stand they passed. On cue, her stomach growled. "Whoop!" She clutched her stomach. "I crave the parfait, let's go." She made haste for the direction leading back to town.

[Kiluia Seiko 0]

Everything was completed. He simply looked at Raidou and wave. “See ya, man. Give me a message if you need something else.” He was being pulled away relatively quickly. They had a date after all. Eyes of amber would look down at her as he tapped his chin. “I don’t mind that. I prefer mine with a lot of fruit and chocolate in the real world.” He could remember the taste from all of that. His head snapped to reality as he waved to Eruda wishing her well. “Bye! Be safe!” The two would meander off together to the teleport crystal.

Next stop, Floor one. The floor had a secret little vendor that sold these nice parfaits. He had seen it twice before and wanted to try it out. He looked at his beloved and spoke. “I hope you are in for a ride. I have heard great things about this place and would love to try this with you.”

[Raidou 1]

Raidou extracted himself from the blonde tank and the others as they all traveled their separate ways. He would see what this 'Info Broker' had to offer. Into a darkened street under dim lighting the quest was bringing him to the direct location from which it was received. His instincts were on edge, driving toward a tipping point. "Do you have what the guardian dropped? It's necessary to complete your quest." a low toned voice asks as it approaches through darkened coverage. Sliding open his inventory and keeping the guy in his peripheral as he circles like a wolf trying to get outside of his sight rather blatantly.

Raidou produces it and holds it aloft, attempting to hand it to the obscured silhouette. "Filthy animal, trying to trick me and kill me is that it?" He barks removing a curved blade and lunging in on the red wanderers left. "I could ask you the same." he comments as he slides out of the attack, headbutting the obvious trickster. On his forehead, a brightened red wound as black liquid begins to pool around his feet.

ID# 160148 results: MOB: 4-3=1, Missed vs. Raidou!

Slowly drawing the blade from his back as he is being consumed by his familiar, agitated by his growing hatred and anger. "A valiant flea that dares eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion, your bitter hold to larceny is a debt paid from your veins. You know naught the forces you toy with creatin, for I am fear, and will see this alley painted with your corpse." the weapon bursts with charged light before Raidou lunges and plunges the blade through the broker's chest after his failed attack. It connects with the wall and reads off <<Immovable Object>> before the red wanderer spins and cleaves him in two.

Raidou leaves to talk to the broker by himself. Parting ways from the others, Eruda heads to the guildhall. She wonders what new information there was to offer. Upon arriving at the hall she starts to shift through the stacks of papers and eventually finds herself sitting in Raidou's chair. After a few minutes of doing this, her HUD chimes upon completing the quest that she and the others just recked. She knows that she didn't do much and the one chance that she was able to...she missed the attack and got thwomp in the face by a giant metal arm. Eruda would continue doing these quests with the guild members to get stronger and eventually she will be better off in the fray of the fight. She just needed to focus on what really matters. It seemed like Eruda was just as busy as Raidou now which was concerning because she couldn't find the time to do that date thing that they wanted... Eruda continues shuffling through all the notes though trying to find her next quest to call out to in guild chat.

[Haine 0]

She looked back at the others, watching them mingle before they went their separate ways. It was just the two of them walking back to town, arms linked. "Ooh okay! I could roll with that." She put a finger to her chin and mused. "Wanna try a white chocolate one this time?" The gluttonous bluenette had worked up an appetite from exerting energy out on the field today and walking about the town square. A place to rest her feet and a delicious snack was long due now.

She let Kiluia lead her to floor one, and to her delight, the place was much better than she imagined. Sharing one cup with two spoons would be cute, but it was just impossible with her ravenous disposition. She ordered her own cup and dug in. Just as expected, it was exquisite. Leave it to Kiluia to find some hidden gems. She noted to return to the place some other time.

The cafe was a bit less crowded by this time. There was an empty table in the corner that he walked up and snatched for the two. Hand extended and pulled out her seat for her and he sat in front of her. "I would love white  chocolate. I wanna try it with apples here." He commented  as he flagged a waitress down. He ordered the parfaits and a speciality crepe designed with chocolate drizzle and strawberry slices. He would take note of the artistry work. " I want to make things like this.." He was excited for  the materials he would get in the future  to start their business. 

"We should tell Raidou and Eruda of this place. I want them to enjoy it." He smiled as their order arrived. He fed her the first bite with a bigger smile. This was the only place he knew who made crepes like he would in reality.

[Raidou 1]

Sliding down the wall in sections with a mutter of unintelligible words before the cardinal system claims the halves of his body. Looking down over where his corpse would have been a twisted two toned voice barks against the street "Good riddance villainous scum." with a darkened skeletal like armor beginning to drip off his body like ink, draining in clumps to his feet. "There is no place for those who would slow down our ascent of the floors traitor, you will be forgotten in this story. Victors write history, and I don't plan on losing." Raidou flips the weapon in his grasp and docks it into its sheathe before placing the offering back into his robe pocket. The blackened ichor begins to move for his ankles vanishing into his clothes as quickly as it came forth, concealed fury as the flare of red in his eyes fades with an adjust of his glasses.

The first of many who would try and stop his plan, this was certain.
