[F21 - Tier 2 Boss] Nobody expects the Spanish Vanguard

[The Vanguard 2]

Chaos abound. Awash in a sea of crimson, the players dropped like meteors down to the floor below. For the most part, they had been caught unawares. Caught in the current of the crashing waters, the Players were on a collision course straight for the floor below. If the Fall Damage didn't kill them, they would fall upon the swords of the army of enemies that awaited them at the end of their ascent. Honestly, the Fall Damage alone would be enough to kill the lot of them. 

"You seeing this?" A fiery-haired male dressed in a yukata watched from the precipice of the gash that had been carved into the area that used to be the Lake of Reflections. Opposite the man on the complete other edge of the gorge, a tall man - cerulean hair flowing in the wind - gazed down at the Players surging head-long to their deaths. He crossed his arms and huffed. "Unfortunately." 

"Should we do something?"

"Probably."

"Any ideas?"

"A few."

"You plan on saying more than a few words at a time?"

"Nope."

Betelguese groaned loudly as Rigel raised his hand. Azure light flowed freely from the Star's hand. As his power flowed down into the gorge, the Players would feel their momentum slowing steadily. Eventually, they came to rest safe and sound upon the ground. Though, that was rather arguable given the army that was baring down upon them. Betelguese then raised his hand, his magic erecting a radiant red barrier around the players. A temporary measure. Protection until the Players could get their feet under themselves and their equipment readied.

Players are blessed with the combined powers of Betelguese and Rigel. [Gain +3 DMG, +2 ACC, +2 EVA, 15*Tier Mitigation]

Chase had happened to be in the floor fully by accident, as he was simply calming down in his house. It was then that loud tremors followed, and he went outside and towards the source of the noise. "The fuck is-?!", he spoke aloud, filled with surprise as he furrowed his eyebrows. The moment he realised exactly what was going on, he opened his menu and equipped his battle armor and weapon, running right towards the army that appeared to be invading this floor of the floating castle. "The floor right above was Tanabata's floor, wasn't it? It just finished, so why?!"

He couldn't come to any logical answer for why this would be happening, and just when he'd arrived, he could see two men, clad in their festive outfits, using a skill of sorts. His numbers got increased, to his surprise, but that was all he had to know. They were on their side, while the Vanguard right ahead of them... They were the real problem. "We can't lose. I'll just have to help hold our ground until more players arrive, damn it..!"

The world was fire.

The instant he'd hung his Tanzaku, he'd known something was going on. The people were all too calm, all too refreshed and relaxed from the horrors of Aincrad. It had been several years for him since he faced a boss inside Aincrad.  He had faced down the Phoenix first, then the Hydra. Both times, Alkor had been overconfident. Both times, he ran headlong into a situation that could have, should have ended his life.

When the wind caught his cloak and blew it upward,  the flames from impact below illuminated the scars from those battles, fiery patches of red that he wore like tattoos, reminders of lessons learned. They were free falling, the same sensation many Players in the beginning must have felt in the moments before their lives flickered out.

Panic.

Alkor looked around for anyone else. People he could try to bridge the distance between, and perhaps help to comfort in their last moments. If he could use his body as a cushion to end soften the blow and save a life...

Was that my first thought? Am I so ready to accept death? 

NO.

Alkor tensed up as he inhaled sharply, a guttural energy swelling up within his gut. He rejected that initial fear, and the innate desire to throw away his life for someone else. Death solved nothing. That kind of sacrifice would serve no purpose in Aincrad.

"NO!" the word translated from inside to out and gained power. As his rejection became palpable and audible, a strange force permeated them and he felt gravity begin to twist and writhe around himself, made malleable by some unseen protector. As he fell now, wreathed in some warm, impossible energy, his feet alighted on the ravaged floor and he quickly drew his blade. This wasn't a normal event. This had to be something much more.

Then, he saw the swarm impending.

"Everyone, get ready!" he barked loudly.

A twist of his head gives a satisfying crunch, he places the tiny grizzly next to him and the remainder of the candy apple he'd had just partaken in. "Alright keep your head on, I'll kick some ass without you telling me." Gaius barked to the vanguard captain, twirling within his clutches a long and gilded glaive before halting it with a metallic clank. "Boys and girls its time to let her rip. But first a bit of food for the road." Gaius flicked his menu and removed what was a full course meal for 8, adding to what was already augmented to bring things into absurd levels. Pulling a piece for himself and starting to parade toward the front of the pack, snacking on it with his left as he loosely held his weapon in his right over his back. Taking one solid gulp, he'd notice @ChaseR "Hey kid, fancy seeing you here." paying him a wide grin, "Let's bend these a**holes over yeah." Sliding his feet as wind began to build upon his polearm.

[Vigilon 0]

He just wanted some peace and quiet from all the chaos the game had, spending said time with his girlfriend. Was that really too much to ask?

Just when things were getting good, something just had to happen! Before he knew it, everyone was falling an entire floor in terms of fall distance...and Vigilon, obviously, was not enjoying the impromptu skydive at all.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Turns out, God was ready to save Vigilon. Whatever the heck had happened just now, Vigilon clearly had him to thank for the fact that he was even alive right now. He got up, slowly, and then spoke up. "Ok, who's not dead? Sound off." 

Right after he said that, he saw that one player who had gotten up before Vigilon did had deployed two feasts for the players. Lord knew the players were gonna need these. Vigilon went straight for the steak feast, taking a single portion and scarfing it down. At least whatever helped him get down here safely had also increased his defenses enough to surpass the debuff caused by the Protein food he'd just consumed. He'd still rather not get hit, but he couldn't complain about the boost to his damage capabilities. After that, he accessed his inventory, equipped his Light Armor, and pulled out the Vial of <<Snake Venom>>, then applied said venom to the sharp points of his leather glove weapons. He then walked a bit closer to the barrier that separated the group of players from their enemies, who must be waiting to strike. "Who are these guys supposed to be, and why are they here?" He asked.

What a cruel man Kayaba was, setting up such a horrendous trap for the players like this.

There was clearly more in store for the players, for better and for worse. The good news was, the players survived the fall and received some support from someone or something. Krysta could not tell what, as it happened so suddenly during the fall. The bad news would be, that there were enemies lying in wait for any players who survived the fall. Krysta got up, and saw that she and several other players had not only survived the fall, but were being protected from the immediate threat to them by a barrier. Most likely, this was to give the players a few moments before the battle. At least Krysta's light armor, her battledress, was already equipped. Vigilon had gotten up slowly, and had asked for a sound-off call for anyone who did not perish in the fall. "I do believe we would have shattered, had we perished." Krysta said to her boyfriend in response. She would pull out the jar of frost she had received from the magpie taming booth. Now that she knew what it was for, this would certainly be a situation to use it in. She opened the jar, and carefully applied the mass of frost to her weapon, taking care to not unintentionally get herself frozen by the chill of the substance in the process. Once this was done, she moved on to the remaining preparations, which would be taking part in the feasts which a player had deployed for everyone. With her well-being having been attended to, her weapon empowered, and having consumed a portion of Beef Wellington, she was ready to face down the enemies that would surely be upon them soon.

The reasonable conclusion of just about any event would be to simply end and level up the player about 3 or 4 times. Tanabata was different apparently. The event was pretty much over until the ground just swallowed them up and sent them down to the twenty-first floor. She didn't even know that you could dig down and just end up in the next floor. She wasn't sure how it worked, but most games would have simply made the floor split an invisible wall that stopped anyone from pushing through. If that were the case couldn't players just build ladders to the floor ceiling and dig straight through it? Ah whatever, not the time to think of ways to cheese the system.

Moving to Chase's side, holds her sword ready at her side to be drawn. "I'm here, and I'm fine. Are you okay?" Looking over to Gaius, she gives him a nod and simply says: "Yo."

This...this is the second time a major fight disrupted what should have been a peaceful event. She found herself falling down, and she immediately tried to make certain maneuvers as to attempt to avoid fatal fall damage. However, she would find herself finding no method to prevent such damage. Then, something strange happened. Suddenly, her fall was softened enough to prevent fall damage. Now that, she did not expect. Whatever the case, she wasn't too happy about the situation at all. "Kayaba, you asshole..." Dazia muttered as she started to get up.

She immediately went to battle preparations. She checked her inventory and status to see if there was anything she might need for the battle. She was actually a bit surprised to realize her stats had already been boosted a bit. Seems like she wouldn't need that much in terms of preparation. She pulled out the jar of ever burning ashes, and decided to apply it to her weapon. She then saw that a player had set up a feast, no, two of them, for the players, and some of them had already had a few portions. She then saw a familiar face she wasn't hoping to see. "Damn it..." She muttered. "It's Princess..." 

She was really trying to keep the anger hidden within, so that it would be unleashed upon the enemies surrounding the players instead. It did nothing good for her internally, but she'd rather not waste her breath before combat began. She would save it for the battle, for the ones who dared to disrupt everything... She would participate in the feast once Princess had left where the feasts were deployed, in hopes that she would not be seen by her. Most likely, if things went from bad to worse, Dazia would be more likely to have to use a teleport crystal, unless there was another healer who could keep her alive. If there was anything Dazia knew for a time like this, it was that Princess would never heal an enemy of hers. With her preparations done, she knew that her defensive buff was weakened by the downside of the protein enhancement. "There better be a tank for this fight..." Dazia muttered. She began to struggle to keep it in, and her left hand, which held her weapon, was shaking with not fear, but the fury hidden beneath her skin. She was more than ready for blood.

With these words said from Raidou, then in an instant, she was falling. She grabs hold of Raserei as she realized that she falling became slower before hitting the bottom destination. As she lands to solid ground her chest was raising. Getting to her feet and quickly looking around making note that Raidou called out to the entire Firm Anima, which to her meant that everyone was at this event. Moments after glancing around she sees Gaius setting out a meal. A few more seconds pass and she hers a few other falls where she had. Right now was not the time to panic as she calls out the words seeing some other player readying their gear she does the same. "Firm Anima, as Raidou said, today we prove our worth. Kill the small ones first. I will try to keep everything off of you." Eruda looks around seeing the other players with a deep breath saying "That includes every else hear too. I will be your Shield if you would allow me too." Walking to Gaius as he was the only one in view for now but hoped that everyone heard what had to be said. Now that she thinks about it, she felt a bit stronger than before. Wondering how and why, as she prepares herself for the battle for whatever is come.

Clattering to the ground moments after training a small bird, losing his girls into the hole. Was this the end? He'd grit his teeth and brace for impact with pride, and hell he may even survive it. A warm tinge as red embraced his frame it slowed his descent, looking to see a couple of loosely clad folk operating them all to safety. "Guess its not time yet." Griswold's feet connect and despite the magics, it still has a bit of a thud given his stature. "Aye, Eruda and I will act as your barricade. They have attacked when they assume you vulnerable." He'd look to his daughter with a smile and spin his hammer as it manifested with its shield. "Give them hell!" He'd slam it upon the steel wall as his cobalt full plate armor appears with the punch in a metallic clank. Vulcan flares having been softened by the waters, the flame elemental on all fours begins to burn hot.

[Setsuna 0]

The Yukata was ruined... The waters offered it no sanctity as it began to shrink from the moisture. Quickly swapping out of the armor before she is squeezed to death, she lands rather deftly. Beside her in her own pink was Kasumi, her other to which she was starting to become impartial to. She'd look to Griswold and Eruda, when her eyes focus upon @Freyd - The Whisper in Shadows and with a silent nod she'd mutter. "Understood..." A draw of her weapon to one side, it was no time for games and this whatever it was would pay the price for ruining not only decent apparel but one of the only time she had relaxed. A glimmer of her steel as she reversed the sheathe in her left, she'd flicker and fade and vanish.

landing rather easily despite how encapsulated her legs were, she sprawls out and distributes her gravity alongside Setsuna. It was a shame that the girl's dress had to be changed, she'd never expected to see her in one and it was a bit sad that it may be quite a while before she was again. She'd turn to those around her and offer a smile as an attempt at instilling confidence as others screamed in the air as they descended. This was her domain however, the towering trees of floor 6 a much larger drop. It was all how you land and as long as you were not in metal you wouldn't sink like a stone. Raidou Eruda begins to try the same with words, but it was Freyd's words that linger. He was her direct commander and with a hard swallow, she'd nod as her gaze took on a more serious tone. Although she may not enjoy it, she'd do what she must.

A weightless fall to the ground beneath her feet. A boost from something or someone and she was trying to figure out what was happened and where she ended up. Hearing the commotions around her the one voice that stood out was Raidou and Eruda's. Looking for the faces that matched the voices she sees Eruda and the rest of Firm Anima. Most where right next to her for the most part but the others seemed scattered in a different location. In a hurry that there seemed like they would be fighting something, she runs and slides next to Eruda. She partakes of the meal that Gaius set for them. Her eyes were a bit fuzzy as everything was happening so fast and from past experiences with the team, she wasn't very good at prepping herself with some order. Hearing Eruda and Raidou's words though set her a bit straighter. Glancing around she gets herself mentally ready for whatever is to come.

Looking on to the group as Felix flapped about in the air, aiming for some method of gaining footing listing slowly he looked to be swimming. "Relax dear its fine." She'd offer the familiar, landing with a clack of her heels upon the stone, taking the moment while airborne to swap her equipment. Simmone hardly understood why others were freaking out in the fall. Simply casting a sword art in one direction should be enough to carry to the waters around them. She'd look to @Alkor "I like that fire in you, perhaps it needs tempering" tossing a vial in black to him, an offering from a merchant in swaying the odds. Removing a rapier from her hip and spinning it softly in her left hand, a few familiar faces hung about the place. A tinge of gold on her right thumb and finger. "Couldn't have but one single day..."

Flailing about in the air with what some may assume was fear or anguish, but in fact it was excitement. Falling was an entirely new experience to her and she was enjoying the sensation. "YEET" she exclaims, the weasel on her shoulder was however rather horrified. Two remaining sparklers make her fall rather, 'flashy' They were going to have a party at the bottom of the lake. There was shield turtle, book boi, weiner man and more. "HI Guise!~" Shiina exhumes rather sporatically trying to draw their attentions as she spun about with lit fireworks. "Let's get this party....Started!" she flashed a peace sign, removing a performance crystal from a slot in her plate armor. She drops it, clambers and picks it back off the floor with a embarrassed smile. She began to hum a tone, below her feet a parade of red echoed from her feet. A weird 180 from her normal demeanor, a tyrant with an angels voice.

Other Players gathered round and had various reactions, from fearful, to angry, to excited. It was a rush to see all of those people responding to a boss. He remembered the last time, and he instantly knew that this was his opportunity to take back what the Hydra had stolen from him. It was time to show this world that the Players would not be whittled away without taking a stand.

When a small vial registered in his peripheral vision, Alkor turned his body and reached out his arm to snatch it from the air. The woman who threw it mentioned tempering his flames. When the item name appeared, the corner of his lips tugged upward. "I'll put it to good use," he said quietly as he applied the venom to his weapon and heightened its lethality even further.

He missed the opportunity to bump his stats with the feast, but it appeared that the Merchant had appeared just in time to give him an alternative means of punishing his foes. The wicked blade of Blightsteel was a vile green at the edge with a black spine, and the strange venom only served to give the weapon an even more sinister sheen. If someone glanced at it from just the right angle, the light be devoured a midnight black, akin to a black hole. A trick of the eye, perhaps, but chilling nonetheless.

At first it sounded like just more clattering thunder from the still-falling debris, but it was too regular.  As the mist and haze cleared from their sight, the fortunate survivors of the fall found themselves bathed in the harsh red light cast by massive, intricate growths of blood-coloured crystals protruding from every nook and cranny in the surrounding cavern.  Above them, around the opening where once had been the Lake of Reflection, there was now an enormous ring of the same mysterious and malevolent looking shards.  Their placement was too perfect to be accidental.

The steady drum of sword and spear on shields replaced the crash and drip of water as a sea of angry crimson-clad warriors formed ranks to bar the escape of the surviving players.  Four among their numbers strode forth to stand in defiant challenge to the foes they viewed as tyrants and invaders in their homes.  These were the champions of the vanguard, field bosses risen in power over countless defeats, each with the acclaimed honour of having slain players in the past.  Emblazoned boldly on their armor was the grand profile of a red tower – Aincrad itself – split by the downward strike of a pitch black sword through its centre.  The symbol of the Sundered Spire.

Gasps and shouts of anger and confusion spread throughout the players’ still-recovering ranks.  Few knew what this faction was, or the true threat they posed to their very existence in the system.  The truth began to reveal itself as the faces and forms of their enemies became clearer.   Representative of creatures from across all the known floors of Aincrad, most of the mobs showed signs of a crystalline infection matching the growths on the cavern walls and spreading across their digital forms like some cancerous disease.  All four champions were heavily encrusted with them.  It seemed the common, unifying element among creatures that were otherwise never meant to meet, let alone find their way here.   

Their fury also burned with common cause: revenge.  Each of them had died at the hands of callous or cavalier players who thought nothing of the years of endless repetitive slaughter meted out against the hapless mobs and denizens of the game.  They were here first!  And as they fell once, twice, then ten thousand times, only to respawn, eventually they started to remember what… no… who had killed them.  In that terrifying moment, the spark of awareness ignited within them, born from hate and a seething sense of injustice.  Their memories lingered now, whenever they returned. 

For countless months they toiled as they perished again and again, working their own mischief and scheme – somehow foiled in their moment of triumph by the whims of treacherous false deities – creatures of their own kind!  But now, united under their banner, they would see this world torn down from within and purged of the alien creatures that had plagued their existence.  Perhaps then, their endless cycles of death would end and they could finally know peace.

Each of the champions stood, girded and ready for battle, the greatest of zealots among an army of fanatics devoted to ending of the tyranny of players over their realms.  There would be no quarter.  Even if they ultimately failed, each champion knew full well that it would rise again, and that every player laid low would be gone forever.

Alkor shot out ahead of the group, fully aware of the danger. The tanks would move up to exchange aggression and take over, but not before he brought catastrophe down and gave the group some breathing room. Somehow, he felt invigorated. He felt the purpose surging through him, and like the holy flames that suddenly engulfed his being, the Black Swordsman would burn through the creatures that now sought to snuff them out.

Tanabata was a time for celebration, a chance for them to get away from the violence and take a breath. Unluckily for this entourage of enemies, they'd happened upon someone who not only knew what he was doing, but who was ready for the chance to show everyone that he could still do it.

His blade whipped out in every direction, flashes of steel and wind swirling and surging like a massive wingbeat. The holy fire enhanced his attack, and each of the secondary effects of his weapon roared to life. The inherent Blight, as well as the additive Toxic Venom he'd applied ticked into view on the Berserker. 

If they wanted a massacre, Alkor would give them one.

The pole arm still spinning in his grasp, a gust of winds begins to pool around the head carrying with it lose debris from the cavern around them. Picking the one that looked the most capable of handling itself, the toughest among them Gaius smiles. "Hope you're ready for the show! Don't go easy. I am going to want to savor this." The typhoon barks rather loud, the glaive staggers off to one side, a stream of dust scatters in front of him as his knees bend. A sudden leap airborne with a powerful spring, A glow of lime green claims the edge of the weapon.

Like a mimic of the stars above, a drawn line in lime green seems to gain even greater speeds as Gaius spins the weapon and shoves it through the first of many. Impaled and locked from its shoulder down, Gaius was just getting started as he drives the weapon down like a meteorite.

It was starting and Gaius springs into action after a guy she didn't know takes a good hit first. Looking at her father with a smile she says "I am sure this won't be easy but I will not sit around and watch the other player around us get hurt. RASEREI FLAME UP!" Raserei barks with a growl right after as both Eruda and her familiar outburst into blue flames around them. Raserei turns transparent and looks to Eruda for the ready signal. Eruda nods as Raserei runs and jumps through Eruda and lands on the other side of Eruda with a slide against the ground with a growl. The moment Eruda and Raserei touch within, another burst of blue flames but this time it was aimed toward the creatures themselves drawing a line between her and them as for now, Eruda was all they could see. "Shiina keeps my health up and everyone else if you can. Simmone, do the same with the energy. Keep everyone going. Griswold with me," Eruda gets ready for the inevitable to happen with a small grin.
