[BR-F25] Paving the Way to Floor 26 [Shadow, the Malevolent]

[The Shadow 3]

Orgoth roared, even as the Shadow’s sudden and inexplicable silence lengthened.  But, there was no reprieve.  Even as Oscar admired the silhouette of his altered shadow with vanity bordering on the perverse, the bullish champion set to flaying them all with his advance.  Axes whirling anew, the boss flinched in a moment of unexpectedly intense rage from the one in red, transmogrified by some strange, goopy horror he’d gone and plastered on his own face.  What the heck was that about?!  Granted the opening she needed, the absent one struck true despite being equally stricken by her fellow’s vile visage.  Blows fell in accelerated succession as the gathered players rained pain and insults upon the ravaged minotaur, his hairy flesh now laced with myriad gashes and gashes in glorious, vitriolic orange.  So many now afflicted him that they seemed to have become his own personal source of light.

Amber eyes jumped high and kicked, knocking the beast to his knees, just as his beloved bluenette drove her brilliant spear deep into his tattooed chest.  The black froth gathered around their foe’s mouth fell in dribs and drabs, near constantly now.  Sizzling upon whatever it landed, it sought to eat away everything just as it had tried to consume him.  The others piled on the injuries, sensing a growing vulnerability.  One madwoman with crazy-big shoulder pads even thought it a fitting time for a selfie?!  Orgoth was too distracted to care, his head pounding from within and without.

Flashes of movement on his flank provoked a wild swing, smashing into a deep blue knight yet somehow dulled by unique talents laid bare before the gathered throng.  His fellow tank fell back to recover, but still maintained the fight.  On his other flank, the wall he’d sought to sunder in his last barrage pulsed blue and lanced some thin red thread into him.  Raging still, Orgoth clamped his blunt teeth upon it and thrashed.  Shadow’s corrupting power coursed through it to lash and gore, dampening that party’s healing for a time.

"Trust your teammates!"  Cried one who stood stalwart as he rallied hopes faltered by the revelation of escape denied.  Behind him, shadows fell before the crowed man’s flurries, only to land the slightest, confusing tap upon the boss.  Then came the sliver of darkness that linked the other darkness to his own.  Was this fool actually crazy enough to seek to trap the darkness in his frail form?  Then a voice echoed in the champion's mind.

Checkmate.

Orgoth bellowed with unfathomable and desperate agony, not from pain but from its momentary relief after so very, very long.  The red in his eyes flickered as he stumbled and dropped both axes, letting them clatter to the broken ground with the delicacy of crashing thunder sending forth clouds of ash and powdered hate some naively dismissed as dust.  Drawing a single, ragged breath, he finally managed to utter words sprung from his own indomitable will, even as his hands started to reach for his axes once more.

“END IT!  HIM!!  ME!!! NOW!!!!”

Abilities:

• [Twin Axes] - Orgoth attacks twice per post.
• [Armor Crusher] - If Orgoth rolls a BD9+, his attack gains Phase. Disables all targets' Battle Healing for 2 turns.
• [Indomitable] - Only one stat can be debuffed at any given time, last for two turns, and only debuff Orgoth for the active party that applied the debuff. DoT effects last for half of their usual time.
• [Disablement Immunity] - This boss is immune to Paralysis, Stuns and the turn-losing effects of Freeze.
• [Blinding Crash] - If Orgoth rolls a CD8+ on a successful attack, Orgoth gains 100 DMG for that attack. The total damage dealt against the Primary Threat Target is then instead shared equally between the party as unmitigated damage.

My pleasure.

There was no clever quip. No speech. No corny soapboxing about what it meant to be a hero, or fighter, or warrior. Only Bahr, very suddenly placed in front of what remained of the pitiful boss, peering up at it with palpable indignance.

Twin red orbs visually dissected the monster that stood before Bahr, studying its movements as he calmly and idly sank the tip of Dawn's Demise into its rough skin. There was no anger, malice, or strife in his eyes - at the very least, none detectable to the common observer. He was far beyond a point where his brain had the capacity to convey his emotions through facial expressions. They were merely open, alive, and focused. He'd entered a state of flow where the only things he could focus on any longer were the movements of the boss, and the movements of himself.

It hadn't even yet managed to full stand up, yet Bahr had taken its moment of weakness, however short, to pick away at the sliver of health it had remaining. He hadn't even bothered to put any measure of real "oomph" into the attack. Whatever remained of its health, if not drained by his stab, would be wiped out by those who followed.

After a moment, these crimson beacons peered again into the darkness beyond, searching for the grand architect of the whole charade. Bahr's efforts were wasted on the likes of a puppet like this - he needed to keep his eyes on the prize.

The battle kept on raging, swords clashing and axes going swinging left and right. Chase checked his tank's health, and Mac seemed to be doing alright. And before long, of course he'd start going insane. With an annoyed glare to the side, the bluehead's eyes widened as Freyd started looking less and less like Freyd. He was almost ready to blow up, before he 'settled down'. The fuck was that about?

“If he takes me, you do whatever you need to do.  I know I can trust you with that.”. The hell was he thinking? Cause to him, it looked like he was looking for an excuse to die and be off with it. "You're not allowed to die until I say so. You still owe me more than you can imagine.", he hissed at Freyd with a nod, only to get interrupted by the boss roaring and crying out to be put down. Bahr was already on the move, and its health was already down to its very last sliver. "... Here goes nothing.", he nodded to himself and set off towards the boss, running with all of his strength before hacking at its legs with his strongest sword art, stopping himself abruptly before he got behind him and starting to make his way back to the group, slashing once more to make sure the damage was dealt. "Was that enough?"

Orgoth’s health depleted slowly, and with each heavy blow that crashed down upon the frontlines, the players would retaliate and rip down into the health bar of the great foe. Getting closer and closer to the end, to the null point of his health, Macradon would look around and listen to the calls around him. He glanced back towards @Mari after her quick healing service and smiled “Thanks, Mari.”

With three people already in for their attack to slay Orgoth, the knight would stand back for now to preserve energy and safety for himself. He got into a defensive fool’s guard to set up his parry if the next phase was to begin soon and heavy attacks would rain down upon them. With Orgoth frothing with pain, Macradon would stand and give a quick salute to the one who helped them slightly in the labyrinth fight and distracted the shadow for long enough for the penguin rangers to escape. 

The minotaur would probably die now, they couldn’t save him, but seems like he’d rather die and stop the madness that’s torturing him, than try to survive.

[Jomei 0]

The ground around Orgoth's feet shook as his large axes plummeted into the ground. A voice, different from the one they had been fighting within their minds this entire fight, called out. A booming demand from the minotaur himself, as the Shadow's hold on him wavered, allowing him a moment to speak as himself. He requested to be ended. He requested death. A valiant death deserved by a hero, to be more specific, hoping that with his demise, the Shadow would fall as well. That was all they could hope for, the end of this shaded one's reign. 

A split second decision, Jomei thought to allow another player the finishing blow. He had felt guilty enough attacking an enemy who was not in control of his body. However, something switched within his mind.. a hope that maybe being the one to finish off the boss would restore his sense of worth. Before he knew it, Jomei's body was being carried forth as his sword art took over. His rapier piercing the chest of the downed Orgoth, creating even more deep red gashes that would signal the end of the minotaur's life.

The paladin's bulwark was breeched upon contact of the twin axes. Both would have tore her asunder were this the real world. Thankfully, this wasn't. Instead, she sat with a third of her health points remaining in tact. A glass of orange juice just short of being half full. The shock of her broken defense left her staggered. Plate metal clanked against the ground as she fell to a knee. "Damn it..."

With only a moment to breath, the pinkette steeled herself. She wasn't done yet. To give up was true defeat. Just awhile longer, then she could rest for weeks. The tank pulled herself to her feet and summoned a crystal to her hand. Crushing it in her palm, a swath of green and blue hues enveloped her form, restoring some of that missing health. "If you think harming my body is the same as crushing my spirit, then you are sorely mistaken. I won't allow harm to those that I was charged with!"

Assuming a defensive stance, Yuki raised her sword. The gleam of the blade gifted by angels pierced the shroud of black, a radiant storm swirling in a vortex around her. "Return to the cesspit of hell that you crawled out of to disgrace our presence with lies!" And the flames grew ever brighter.

[Mari 1]

Apathy.

Mari wondered if she was broken. Defective. That’d make a lot of sense really. Her gaze shifted to the side, focusing on a small tendril of shadow that danced around the players feet - the very darkness taunted them with a jovial glee. 

The stoic feeling continued to wash over her - a cold and heavy wave that dragged her down and kept her feet planted firmly to their place. The crushing weight of the feeling weighed down her limbs, dulling her senses. 

So they couldn’t escape this fight?

Did that really matter?

The way the frontliners were - they were so passionate - some shouted words of encouragement to their fellow allies - something Mari always found...a little..cringey - she felt like this wasn’t some strange anime, and that in times like this - actions were far more important than words. But Mari wouldn’t ever outwardly belittle that behavior. It took a special kind of courage from a special kind of soul to be so ready to boost up your allies rather than falter on the sidelines, protagonists. Mari thought. That’s what they all were. The leaders of this tale - the one the story followed. Beacons of hope, pillars of light. That sort of thing...didn’t really match the orange haired woman.

So instead...she'd stand on the sidelines and do her best to ensure her party members were healthy.

"Mmm..."  Her eyes drifted over the HP Bars of her party members. Jomei, Chaser - full. Pinball and HIdden, full. Herself, full. Macradon was the only person who hadn't had his HP completely restored. Silently, Mari stared at her hands, as they began to softly glow blue, creating a gentle light that broke through the malicious shadows. With a flourish of her hands, the light had basked her dearest friend with that same light, it started at the top of his head before cascading down his entire form. Creating an illustrious glow that almost mocked the shadows around him. The light soaked into his skin, and his health bar jumped forward- healing almost completely.

It still wasn't full. But it'd have to do.

Mari gave a small nod toward @Macradon and pointed up at his HP bar, only a sliver remained unhealed. 

She'd done a good job this time...right?

[Crozeph 0]

It wasn't even a year yet, a few months if he counts well (which is impossible). The time he spent with Yuki was short yet he always remembered it, how he entered her shop and ordered a good meal which he also enjoyed eating with her in the scorching heat of Floor Nine. The days and weeks he was dragged along with her on perilous quests, following behind her and her never-failing nuker best friend,  and spending time together in the manor. 

why was he thinking about all of these in the heat of battle, this is not an anime moment...

Crozeph bit his lip as he saw Yuki's health drop and rise, it was like a tug of war and Yuki was the one whose life is on the line. A few seconds ago he had casted Field Medic, it secured the team's health along with Yuki and Crozeph didn't like how it was getting pulled back again. Morgenstern, another katana user in his party also reminded him of the danger of losing energy, this wasn't even the real boss. "I know, I just have to make sure I have enough for all of us and especially our tank," he told him. 

His energy was indeed spent, he had the lowest in the team and he had to come up with a nice plan "stop attacking, heal Yuki one last time and use meditation, hope that Orgoth won't release another AoE that'll disrupt my meditation..." he stretched out his palm again as he stood behind @Zajcica "I'll be here behind you, keep your health in check..." the fabric of his katana wrapped itself around the blade, no attacking for a while and his hand began glowing again. "I'll heal you even if it's the only thing I'd do for the rest of this battle." 

I can't lose you here...

[Hidden 1]

Consider the first wave of the enemy cleared. Once again, the sheer strength and numbers of the frontliners would prevail. As Orgoth entered a critical state of health, Hidden flipped her dagger to hold it in a reverse styled grip. The dagger would make a hissing noise as she smoothly slid it into its sheath on her forearm. "Better get ready for round two." She muttered to herself. The other members of the raid group hadn't tried to spare Orgoth entirely she supposed, so perhaps they at least learned their lesson from the Twenty-third boss fight. 

Activating vanish, a small plume of dark smoke would cover her form before she slid back into the shadows of the room. The only question there was to offer now was if the Shadow would allow her sit within its own precense. She sat, hidden and waiting for the target to actually make itself visible. "I guess your out of disposable minions to hide behind," She whispered jokingly. It was time to see what the boss could do that made the raid group terrified of it.

[Morgenstern 1]

The blonde watched as Orgoth would be struck down. It was sad to see the very entity that had saved them brought down by their very own blades. The king of the minotaurs deserved a better ending than that. He would sheath his katana and listen to their tank ramble on with something he didn't care much for. Taking the real charge, he would begin preparing their party for the next round. "Here is where it actually starts to get serious. Heal yourselves and prepare for it to start getting real bad." 

He stepped over to the tank, Yuki, and told her, "Warmup is over. Hope you're ready." He lifted his left hand and activated a skill for the first time. A green light cast from his hands, raising her health bar by a bit more. Stepping away, he would ready his weapon on the hilt of his weapon. If the Shadow used the same attack at the end of the last fight, they might have some problems.

[Cordelia 0]

Cordelia gave the nearly dead Orgoth a sad and pitied gaze as she watched him demand for the players to end him. Part of her felt guilty that they couldn't somehow find a way to rescue him from The Shadow, but perhaps it was just never meant to be. She didn't bother raising her sword for his demise, she knew someone else would take the deed happily. Consider it as an act of respect. 

A relieved sigh left her as she watched someone finally strike down the minotaur, knowing that his ones and zeroes will rest in peace now. In Aincrad heaven or whatever. She was thankful for a chance to finally have a breather, but it was obvious that the moment will be short lived. "... Are you guys okay?" she suddenly asked, cocking her head towards the people in her group. Yuki definitely took a few hard blows, but Morgernstern and Crow seemed to be taking care of her.

"Er- sorry about earlier. I think I spaced out or something," she muttered quietly, shrugging her shoulders almost nonchalantly as she remarked about how she didn't managed to get an attack the last round. She honestly had no idea the reason why she was out of it then and there, but really, she couldn't bother coming up with a solid answer or excuse for it.

[The Shadow 3]

All it took was a single strike.

One final swing of the metaphorical axe, and the crimson-clad Kingslayer felled the mighty Orgoth. With a groan, the behemoth pitched forward, bracing himself on his hands as his shaggy mass trembled. His weapons lay only a hair's-breadth away, and even as his arms bulged with effort, his hands inched ever-closer. In what appeared to be his final Hail Mary, the minotaur flung himself backward, rocking back onto his knees once more. This time, there was no bellow of anger or agony, no cry of terror or triumph. This time, when Orgoth spoke, Shadow’s voice intertwined with each word. 

“THIS IS NOT OVER.”

The Champion of Iron Fist threw back his head. Though he exposed his battle-worn face to the heavens, it was something hellish that poured from his flaring nostrils and gaping mouth. Reminiscent of a hanged man on the gallows, Orgoth clawed frantically at his own neck while obsidian smoke coiled skyward.

Then, in an action that defied logic and physics, it changed direction. As if sucked away by an invisible vacuum, the darkness curved, shifted, then disappeared into a figure suddenly positioned directly behind the writhing Orgoth. For the first time, Shadow revealed himself to the full raid party. Eerily human features twisted in an expression of disgusted rage, and hands balled into fists at the silhouette’s sides. Even as the minotaur remained on his knees, he seemed enormous when compared to his shadowy counterpart. Shadow, on the other hand, stood at less than six foot tall. The sudden stomping of his foot, a tantrum from a petulant child, made him only appear smaller.

“I will not allow you to beat me!” he thundered. “I am above you, do you understand? You cannot touch me.” In demonstration, Shadow threw his arms wide, blackness exploding out from him like a bomb’s impact. It flew in every direction, streaking through the gathered players with the frigid force of icy bullets. By the time the black wave had reached the surrounding walls, the entire room had been plunged into complete and total darkness. No longer were players able to see Shadow, who had slipped silently from his post behind the still-struggling Orgoth. Nor could they witness the emergence of their next threat, born from the darkness that promised to suffocate them all.

With Bahr taking the killing blow to the minotaur champion, Macradon saluted as the beast fell “I might’ve no idea of who you are or who you were … not even sure if you were a hindrance or a guardian for us, but at least you didn’t let that rorschach test kill us that one time, and I have a feeling that you did your best to not let it devastate us this time either. Thank you for your service.” he mumbled for himself as the beast bent back over, letting shadow emerge once again, just as annoyed as he had been throughout the entire fight.

“Well well well, if it isn’t mr. shadow back at it again. Can’t say it’s a pleasure to see you again.” Macradon tried to say with a snarky smirk adorned upon his lips. He looked back over his HP bar and his party’s, they were all doing alright, and his own battle healing had taken him up to the top again thanks to @Mari’s healing “You’ve done a great job, keep it rolling and we’ll all come out of this somewhat unscathed” he said with a big broad smile to his best friend. He chortled and stood ready for the fight to commence again, this intermission was sure to be a short one, unless mr. fancy rorschach would want to toy around with the frontlines.

Orgoth the mighty had finally fallen.

"Alright everyone, this is it. The real fight is about to begin. Heal up, top off, adjust your gear. Be prepared for adds or some kind of skill challenge like we faced with lighting the beacons."

But Orgoth didn't disappear into pixels.

That's exceptionally strange. Was beating this phase what finally drove the Shadow from Orgoth? Will he join us now, or continue to be an obstacle.

"If you can  meditate or consume an energy recovery food, now is a good time. Tanks, if you're still low on HP, it may be worth letting the off tank pick up the initial aggro, and then peel it from them to give yourself some extra recovery."

He didn't want to single out Yuki, who was the most depleted of the tanks, and Crow's energy wasn't holding up particularly well either. They would need to better utilize their off tank to not crush Crow's energy reserves. And hopefully be a little more lucky with the punishment Yuki was being given.

He crushed a group heal crystal in his hand, increasing everyone's HP by a slight amount. They wanted to start this fight prepared. Macradon seemed to be doing okay, and Mari's HP was holding up decently as well. Ariel had taken quite the punishment, but Zandra still had plenty of energy, since Oscar had been doing most of the healing thus far.

We'll be okay. We've still got this.

The ginger was quick to move out of the way as Orgoth's hands slammed into the ground in front of him, bracing the minotaur's fall. The ginger looked on from a position far too close for comfort, each heavy breath from the hulking figure caused his coat and hair to sway. Slowly, Jomei's feet carried him backwards, keeping his sword at the ready in front of him in a defensive stance. Suddenly, the entire cavern rumbled as Orgoth threw himself upwards, the voice of the minotaur and the shadow's intertwined and boomed. 

"What the hell is this?" Jomei's voice trembled under his breath, as smoke as black as night began to flow out of the orifices of Orgoth's face, as if he had a raging fire inside of him. It was not until the smoke shifted direction did it become a bit more apparent, this Shadow seemed to be reclaiming the part of him that controlled Orgoth. The shaded form's size paled in comparison to Orgoth... but if they were able to command such a beast, their power must have been immeasurable. The tip of Jomei's blade shifted from the seemingly dying body of Orgoth to the figure that stood before them. 

Then, darkness. Nothing but pitch black darkness. As the shadow spread to the entirety of the room, Jomei could almost feel the tingling sensation of the cold of dark. The complete lack of light was strange.. uncomfortable. The fingers wrapped around the handle of Jack's Rapier loosened, allowing the rapier to flow more easily in a parrying motion were the Shadow to attack him.

It was indeed odd that Orgoth had not shattered. It broke from precedent, though it was not entirely unheard of. Certain quest NPC's and the like could stick around or leave behind a body, but such things were typically for theatrical reasons. The fact that Orgoth's form persisted and then was swallowed by shadow with the rest of the raid seemed more pointed. There was likely a reason.

Shield's <<Night Vision>> skill kicked in, and he could see outlines of figures int he otherwise darkened room. The darkness was no joke, however, and seemed to strain the limits of what the skill was designed to handle. There was no helping that now though. His skills were his skills for this fight, and if they would be useful or not remained to be seen. Shield bent his knees, holding out the axe which he held in his broad hand as an extra layer of defense should an attack bypass Raidou's ability to pull threat.

Well, the first wave of it was tumultuous, but nothing we weren't at least somewhat prepared for. Let's hope that those who are struggling already can make good use of this reprieve...

With Orgoth felled, Yuki took a deep breath. Things weren't over yet, but it was clear that she was ruining her team's supplies needing more healing every single round. Relying in her shield to help her fight was holding her back. Even with the extra mitigation it gave her, her build wasn't meant to take on this much damage at once. She had to ditch it now. Even without her shield she could take a heavy hit, but maybe she could just avoid it all together.

Opening her menu, she would unequip the shield on her arm and replace her weapon with the long lance she that had been gathering dust. Once it was in her hand, she gave it a few practice swings, she would look to Morgenstern. The man was attempting to bolster her for the next engagement. Yuki nodded in reply. "Victory was assured the moment we stepped foot on the battlefield. He can come at us in ten different forms and we'll win. I believe in everyone here."

Crow would stand behind her, saying that he would be there to help her. She would turn around a moment and give him a soft smile. "Don't worry, I'm fine. You have other people to heal than me so make sure you're rationing your energy. I'll do my best to dodge while you regenerate some energy, okay?"

With the mighty beast finally falling, Chase looked silently. He expected it to shatter, but... nothing. Instead, something started to emerge from its back, which didn't feel good whatsoever to the bluehead. He turned to his group to see they were all good, and in what could have been a stupid move, he looked towards @Freyd - The Whisper in Shadows.

"...". Rather hesitantly, he began to walk right towards him before the Shadow began to shout its own spiteful monologue. It was when he spread his arms that a darkness reached out towards the players, sending the bluenette running towards the Whisper. But before long, they were all swallowed in the darkness and Chase hadn't the slightest idea who was around and who wasn't. He took his sword out and it began to emit a light glow with the same lightning he was used to coursing right through it as he attempted to spot the problematic ally. "... Freyd? You good?". The slightest attack that would come to him, he'd return with thrice the power just to get to him and secure his safety. They had a lot of talking to do later.

[Freyd 0]

He couldn’t see, except inward; couldn’t feel, except cold; and couldn’t move, save to serve as an anchor in the darkness.  Freyd hurt, a lot, and that shouldn’t have been possible, or so he foolishly told himself.  He’d endured his own inner darkness for over a decade, and finally mastered it.  His shadow had  been subdued and... repurposed, as Montjoy. 

But this wasn’t like containing the untampered rage of his youth scrabbling to lash out at anything it perceived as a potential threat.  It felt more like an unfathomably infinite, unbridled hunger seeking to consume and control absolutely everything, subduing it to a single will and appetite until nothing else was left.  The two were not quite in the same league, and he was unprepared for the intensity of the latter's draw.

No single being could contain this much anguish.  How the hell had Orgoth survived it?!  Freyd felt something vile crawling under his veneer of digital flesh, trying to make him implode and burst like a balloon at the same time.  It was like being simultaneously filled and hollowed by an unnatural void. 

*POP*

He flinched, thinking he had just died, only to realize that the connection was gone.  The void was gone.  The pain was… not really gone.  Damn.  That would have been nice.  He felt the urge to wretch, and did. 

Shouldn’t that be impossible?  Gah..

*SPLORCH*

Even as he struggled to purge the maelstrom of dark sensations swirling inside him, he felt the familiar touch of Shadow’s tendrils returning from outside.  Blinking his eyes to clear the black away did nothing, which was either bad, or REALLY bad.  Judging by the muted voices around him, it also sounded like the latter.  Then one voice cut through beyond the rest.

"... Freyd? You good?"

Figures.  The executioner.

“Oh yea… all good.”  He lied, as he spat more of the blight out, revolted by how it insisted on clinging to his tongue.

*PFFFtbtbtbtbtb... pwah!*

“Couldn’t be better...”

[Raidou 1]

Concentration Refreshed!, BH Disable [1/2]

A call to action, an end to his tirade, and a return to cognition. Freyd he owed a great deal, and it was his words that brought him back from the brink. Here in this chamber a mixed amalgamation of torment and fury, as both player and NPC alike minced words in spitting confrontation. Like a sickness both sides bite back at one another, pumping venom through forked tongues.

Raidou looks to his one free hand, the writhing black that mirrored the shadow. Strange how it took a whisper to get through where shouting did not. Lifting it to his brow, a pulls away from the stuff like a slice of tar, and as it flops to the ground beneath him Orgoth becomes complacent. "This changes nothing, I still want to see its head spin." Raidou remarks toward the man who was equally as troubled, feigning his own sacrifice. "But you're to replace me, you not allowed to fall before me." The nomad joked as he looked to Haine & Kiluia. Folding down with a ginger extension of his glasses as the ichor drains from him like a sieve, bubbling in a puddle near his feet.

Clutching those frames, a breath against the glass and a lift to his eyes. They were not scratched. A small click as they are placed back on the bridge of his nose, a soft push casts a glare over his eyes that concealed the fuming red behind it. To the chamber "Raise your energy, hold your ground. Push your backs together, it favors the darkness and will aim for your flanks." He searches through the crowd, hearing the same response from some of the other able-bodied among them.

"Baldur."

"Shield."

"I lost myself for a moment, I was reminded of a loss and have been meaning to fix the problem. Somehow it knew about what I don't really share." He answered their inquiry, strange that in mere seconds he could be so lost, then an inverse through such a simple phrase. He was allowed to be angry, to want to watch this beast drop to pieces. But he could not risk losing sight of those around him again. This was the big leagues, and there was still some rust on his mind. As the darkness around his feet begin to pour upwards, vanishing behind his robe once again as he removes a small light fragment from his pocket.

A look at Ariel

A bit of a swell of hatred danced off his shoulders, but it twists into a soft purple. Concentration to temper the fighting spirit, a gift from his Gemini, and a trick learned from another with similar moxie.

A look to Yuki

Tearing that fragment down the length of the blade brings a fire to its surface, allowing him to see through his pain and the obscurity the shadow had cast. A lantern in the darkness that would press it back, keeping his collection and his view strong.

A look to Mari

How many lessons matched those around this chamber, how many who's teachings would come to light here. Well, that was a story for another time, and through a flicker of the road he walked riddled upon his lenses as he mutters but a single phrase "But the fact is you've already lost."
