[Trespassers V2 Subplot] Okami: Stains upon the Canvas

[Chevaleresse]

Destructive One? Great Harbinger of Ruin? That. . . This cannot be, no no no. Dark, angry storm clouds started to gather overhead as the goddess froze in place. That is not, cannot be who I am. I will not allow this to happen. Orihime-no-muchi-no-Kami, what has caused this to befall me once again? The lightning rumbled overhead, as Mitsurugi felt that cloying dark within stir once more. I have refused thus far, I have protected them despite this. There are none who know of me here, and yet the evil spirits recognize me as one of their own. I thought this place was going to be my salvation, and yet it comes to this. 

 

And there she stood, frozen atop the gate, as the rain began to pour down.

[DragonRage]

Lexiel looks between the imps, Mitsu, and the rain, and swiftly puts two and two together.  With a gesture, a fist-like orange rune inside a glowing circle appears in front of her left hand, and slowly travels up it, leaving behind the gleaming, golden plates of the Doomfist.  She clenches her now-armored hand, letting sparks of red energy run over the spiked knuckles menacingly.  "Did I stutter, punks?  This is a raid.  You don't want to be here for it.  Scram."

[StormLord]

Spicy HG listened to the Imp's response and watched from the ground as the rain clouds slowly formed above Mitsu and let out a cold drizzle.

"That's enough of that."

With a half step forward she made two wide slashes leaving crossing diagonal cuts in the gate, and then followed up with a small ball of fire that blew the gate aside at the weak points.  Leaving a round smoldering indent in it.

As the rubble settled and the fire flared up more Spicy HG held her glaive to the side and addressed the Imps in an overtone of a slightly deeper, and angrier voice.
"If you think she is the destructive one you've got something else entirely coming."

[GodofGamingRWBY]

Vulture Inn

 

On the other side of the gate, Ako had been listening in on the conversation between Goddess and Yokai, pressing her ear up against the gate. It had taken her a few moments to actually realize that those were Yokai and not any normal guards. It confirmed her suspicions, but why weren't they attacking? There had to be more than them recognizing one of the great Kami. Yokai always acted hostile towards any divine, so why were these different? Unfortunately, before she could ponder on that mystery anymore, Spicy spoke up, spurring the shrine maiden from her thoughts as she stepped back from the gate and into the cold rain, "Yeah, let's get over the-" she began to suggest, only to be forced to the side as Spicy blew open the gate, causing the shrine maiden to let out a small groan, "Oh come on, we could've just gone over the walls..."

 

Though the Imps had not gotten a good clue of the situation, the dark clouds, Spicy's entrance, and Lexiel's blunt claim was enough to set reality in. The second Imp, having not knelt down, chose to scurry into the Inn itself, quickly slamming the door shut before the first could even get to its feet. Outnumbered and definitely outgunned, the first Imp quickly turned from the now shut doors and back to the party, before dropping its naginata with a screech of fear, dropping down on all fours and running off to the side, and over the wall. Although it only managed to get a few feet from the Inn after that as two divine slips smacked into its torso, thrown by the still worried shrine maiden, causing a brief burst of light that engulfed the poor Imp, before leaving nothing more than a small flower where it had been standing.

 

And so, silence returned, the darkness supported only by the dull rainfall... And the rapid lighting of the Inn, causing the fog to reel back as if in pain as the Inn. From the somewhat muffled sounds of Imps beyond the door, it would seem that the Inn was back in alert, or at least finally back in business.

[StormLord]

Spicy HG took several steps forward, walking with a sort of cold intent that betrayed her usual smooth flowing movement. 

She didn't bother trying to the door, either the Imp was smart and locked it or left it open to lock behind them.  She didn't intend to leave it on its hinges.

So she took another two swipes with her weapon, trying to knock down the door.

 

Spoiler

Vorpal Glaive: An incredibly sharp blade of polished steel, engraved with the Jabberwocky poem, and mounted on a haft nearly six feet in length and made of Ash, sanded and stained.

Level 2 - Vorpal: Defensive effects cannot reduce damage dealt below 25%.

Level 3 - Haddock's Eye:  Burning demon core shards etched into the blade grant +1d4 fire damage.

 

[DragonRage]

Lexiel starts toward the door, but then notices that Mitsu isn't moving.  She waves her right hand (which doesn't have the Doomfist on it) in front of the goddess' eyes.  "Hey, uh, are you alright?  You sort of just stopped there."

[Chevaleresse]

The goddess remained motionless for a moment longer on being beckoned; the only indicator that she'd noticed someone had addressed her was her eyes flicking downward to look at Lexiel instead of staring off into empty space. "I do not know." She stepped off the gate and plummeted to the ground, landing uncharacteristically heavily (though still on her feet.) She waited for Lexiel to come down as well, before almost reluctantly speaking up again. "I am afraid of how this world may change me." Youkai recognizing her as a destroyer. . . was it a trick by Orochi? It had to be. The alternative was. . . unacceptable. "And that change cannot come to pass."

[GodofGamingRWBY]

Ako

 

“... Great Kami, it is not my place to pry into the matters concerning the gods unless I am called upon, but I want to say something” Ako suddenly said as she walked through the gate, casting her eyes down as to not meet the gaze of Mitsurugi, “I do not know of your history with the world, or… Worlds, in your case. But I don’t believe that the views of youkai matter to your standing. Though the past problem with… The Demon is problematic, youkai tend to have a limited view on the world around them, not to mention that most of them have never actually met a divine being before. I firmly believe that it’s nothing more than a plot of the Demon to prey on perceived insecurities. It can’t challenge Amaterasu directly, but a Kami that has no large following might be a good substitute for it.”

 

Despite initially starting off as calm as she could be, Ako had generally started to work herself up as she spoke, ultimately ending with her perking back up and looking directly at Mitsu. At least, for a second, before casting her eyes down again, “A-At least, that’s my reasoning. I don’t mean any disrespect by it” she quickly added, only for a loud crash to pull her away from the goddess and angel, face whitening as she saw Spicy slash down the door in pursuit of the demons, “Oh great, that’s- I’m not- Gah, I hope the Sparrow Clan forgives me for this” Ako exclaimed, running forward after the goddess whilst drawing several more divine slips, taking notice of the various screeches that were erupting from the Inn.

 

Vulture Inn

 

Battle Theme:

Spoiler

 

Though Spicy had torn through the gate with relative ease, the actual door to the inn was surprisingly studier than the first defense. However, the door was still material wood, the glaive tearing off a significant chunk of the door before the flames did the rest of the work, causing it to simply collapse, opening the way to the inn. The first thing that would’ve been noticed was the Green Imp, still sprinting towards the other end of the room, letting out a fearful inhuman screech that had attracted the other Imps that had taken refuge in the building. Though there were no other Green Imps, several Red Imps slowly walked into the room, staring at Spicy with caution.

 

But there was one that was unlike the others, standing behind a desk positioned next to a staircase in the middle of the room. An Imp covered in black fur, writing something down on a piece of parchment before finally taking notice of the commotion, namely the Green Imp’s shrieks and the now broken door. With a movement that indicated a sigh, the Black Imp calmly slid the parchment away from it, only to suddenly jump on top of the desk with a new conjured bongo, smacking the instrument five times in a small song. The song itself, bad as it was, had the side effect of causing an equal number of skulls to fly up and hover above the Imp’s head, letting out chattering laughs as the Imps began to screech in a chorus, oddly in enjoyment, rather than fear like the Green Imp.

 

There was one youkai that was different from the Imps, however, that had been calmly staring at the other Destructive Goddess from the top of the stairs. Taking the form of a woman garbed in a crimson and grey robe, pink wings poking out from underneath large sleeves, a long crane-like neck holding up a face shrouded by long black hair and a red hat. As the Black Imp began to prepare its entourage for combat, the bird youkai barely moved, only allowing two fans attached to its back to spread out like wings, and to draw a large object from underneath its robes… An oil-paper umbrella, bearing the same colors as its robes. Otherwise, it simply stood there, watching, and waiting.

 

It didn’t seem like they took kindly to these intruders, when it came down to it.

Spicy HG stepped slowly into the building, surveying the opponents as she did.  The green imp was still running, and the red ones didn't seem terribly impressive in the last battle, the bird was...suspicious, and the skulls looked too weak to survive a full onslaught.  Which left the black imp as the prime target.

Mitsurugi inhaled. If she was to be a destroyer, it would be a destroyer of demons, bringing ruination to the enemies of mankind. She assessed her foes in the span of that breath; many imps, but one foe of note. An ubume, a tragedy in her mere existence.

Kino and Enma

 

Familiarity was a double-edged sword; as much as Kino could take a good guess as to what targets she should attack and their potential resistances and capabilities, they too, may also have some preparation toward Kino and her kin. While the Imps seemed meek, Kino's attention was more fixated on the avian that was eyeing the group--was it the bird that made the Inn's ominous name? Part of Kino resisted to attack given that fact, and even Enma felt less eager about the battle even with their numbers. Only the goddess appeared to dare attack it at present, though she seemed to possess an idiosyncratic position and familiarity to the world that surpassed Kino's herself; she decided she needed more information, and chose to attack the less intimidating targets at present.

 

Are you scared?

I'm with you. And our brothers and sisters. There's little to fear.

 

Kino (73/98)

Enma (68/68)

No matter what happens, the motorcycle will be there, watching.
+9 Init, user gains a 50%-([Dex]*5) miss chance while equipped.
 

 

 

Revving his motorcycle's engines as the rest slowly stride into the inn, Mot guns it as soon as he hears the sound of music, crashing into the scene, his cycle flying in the air for a moment as he opened fire on the biggest guy in the room, just like he did all those years ago....except that was a salloon, he was on a horse, and he is pretty sure that he was fighting normal bandits back then.

 

Mot uses Ten Men Dead on the Black Imp, dealing Weapon Damage (5d10+12)+Initiative (21) damage!.

Vulture Inn/Battle Theme

Spoiler

 

 

Michael Mot crashes through the Inn’s walls utop a motorcycle, causing a bit more property damage on top of Ako’s sanity as he puts a bullet into the Black Imp for 55 damage.

 

Shaking off the fact that the demons seemed to worship her, Mitsurugi flash steps from outside the Inn straight to the Ubume. In a split second, the Ubume flips around its umbrella, opening it up just as Mitsu swung her swords… And cut right through it, slashing into the creature for 99 damage as it let out a surprised squawk, halves of its umbrella floating to the ground pathetically.

 

However, shortly after it was slashed apart, the Ubume took a step back and flipped its umbrella (now simply a rod) around and grabbed its end. Then, in a flash of steel, the Yokai drew its sword from the umbrella sheathe and struck, slashing into the goddess for a smaller counter of 25 damage.

 

Spicy HG rushes into the scene, closing in on the new Imp variant and slashing into it 16 times for a total of 80 damage.

 

Shortly afterwards, the chattering skulls all opened their mouths, aiming at random members of the Yokai slaying team and firing small beams of energy at them. Kino is hit twice for 17 damage in total; Ako is hit for 10 damage; Mot is hit for 11 damage, and Spicy is shot directly for 14 damage. In addition to this, the Black Imp bares its claws, slashing up at Spicy for 22 more damage.

 

The various beads surrounding Ako’s neck suddenly enlarge, hovering above her body for a split second before lashing out at one of the laughing skulls, smashing it to dust with 30 damage. At the same time, petals and calming wind flows around Spicy HG, healing the goddess for 15 HP.

 

The Red Imps suddenly jump into action, letting out screeches as two rush towards Lexiel and attempt to slam their guitars on her head, dealing 12 damage twice, while the other runs over to help the Black Imp by using its guitar as a bat on the back of Spicy’s head, dealing 12 damage like its brethren.

 

Lexiel prepares for further head smacking by summoning a new Soul Warden, ready to do its duty and protect its master from evil. This time without a 50 foot skeleton in the way. It also releases a wave of healing energy that restores five HP to every Non-Yokai in the immediate area.

 

Kino merely summons her own Yokai to do battle, harming themselves in the process as Enma goes in to poke the Black Imp, marking it and dealing 12 damage.

 

As its friends began fighting the intruders, the Green Imp continues to run, climbing up the stairs in record time as it rushed towards an elevator just a few footsteps in front of said stairs.

Lexiel considers her options.  With only 2 mana she can't do anything too flashy.  Mitsu has shown a notable ability to annihilate enemies.  With that in mind, Lexiel casts Temur Battle Rage on Mitsu, filling her with the righteous fury of the Temur ancestor and bear spirits.

 

Temur Battle Rage:

[Chevaleresse]

Mitsurugi breathed in, absorbing the magic as if it were simply air. "You have defiled this place of rest for too long already, servants of Yamata-no-Orochi." Despite the fact that they were indoors, the wind seemed to pick up, whipping at Mitsurugi's robes and hair - or perhaps they were the source. Menacing thunder rumbled as Mitsurugi lifted one arm into the air. "As guardian of this land, I pass my judgement upon you! Your existence is forfeit!" This last word was punctuated by a burst of energy that arced towards their foes, streaking towards them with the vicious beauty of lightning itself. She followed the strike up with a savage slash at the fleeing Green Imp, the goddess's form blurring as her blade sung.

Vulture Inn battle theme

Spoiler

 

 

Managing to stunt his way up the stairs of the inn, Mot circles around to Mitsu, gun trained on any of the demons that planned to strike back against what the goddess was about to do next.

 

Halfway through Mitsu’s speech, the Ubume took a step forward, wordlessly giving its opinion about the Goddess of Disaster as it brought its blade above its head and slashed down at her, dealing 38 damage and leaving a bloody gash in her robes. Of course, immediately after that, a gunshot rang out as Mot finally finished his stunts, putting a bullet directly through the demon’s heart with 46 damage. However, despite having a hole where its vital organ should’ve been, the demon remained standing, calmly sheathing its sword in preparation for its next attack.

 

Granting the Black Imp just enough time to process what was going on, Spicy rushed back into the fray, slashing the black demon apart in a flurry of 14 blows, slaying the demon where it stood without much difficulty. Upon its death, the remaining chattering skulls immediately freeze, lifelessly dropping to the ground with several resounding shatters.

 

Without the Black Imp for her to worry about, Ako turns her attention to the various Red Imps, divine instruments lashing out once again at one of their heads. However, just before it connected and severed the demon’s head from its body, the Imp pulled out its guitar, the demonic instrument managing to take the strike with only a significant gash to show. One that was already beginning to patch itself up. At the same time, another burst of wind and sakura petals flows around Mitsu, restoring her body for 15 HP.

 

Although clearly outnumbered and overpowered,, the Red Imps didn’t flee like those of their kind usually did. Instead, they opted to at least make a last stand, spreading out and swinging their guitars at Ako, Enma, and Kino, dealing 14, 10, and 13 damage to each.

 

With most of the noticeable problems being dealt with, Lexiel casually enhances Mitsu’s bloodlust by giving her Battle Rage, confident that it wouldn’t lead to more problems than they already have.

 

Thunder rumbles in the distance as Mitsu makes her declaration to the demons, divine lightning arcing from her being, dealing 32 damage to every demon in the room as it coursed into their beings and tore them asunder, vaporizing the Red Imp’s guitars and the Ubume itself, barely holding on after being shot by Mot. For a brief moment, the Green Imp seemed to have been spared of the Goddess’ wrath… Only for her blade to sever its head from its shoulders with 71 damage, easily slaying the beasts where it stood as it turned into naught but sakura petals. Normally this gesture would’ve been enough for the Goddess, but something urged her to continue, urged her to go forth and slay every single being present in the name of the Temur… No… Not just that, but something else...

 

Spoiler

“BIND OUR BLOOD PACT, O’ HERALD OF RUIN. LET NONE STAND IN THE WAY OF THY DESTINY”

 

Whatever the source was asking her to fight for, Mitsu’s body moved on its own, becoming a blur as she suddenly appeared next to one of the Red Imps that was still recovering from her display of power. Her movement had barely messed with her sword’s arc, allowing it to cleanly cut through the lowly demon in the same stroke that had taken out the first.

 

Enma and Kino begin their tag team combination, the spirit leading the way and striking the demon for 13 damage, marking the demon just as Kino made their move, adding another 20 damage and healing the duo for 4 HP each as the Imp just barely held its ground.

 

The Green Imp is too dead to try and get help.

[Chevaleresse]

The battle rage suffused Mitsurugi's being. She felt alive, truly alive again, fulfilling her purpose at last as she struck down her foes with a righteous fury. Her form blurred as she made yet another strike, cleaving one of the remaining imps in half with a clean, yet unmistakably savage blow. She lifted her sword for another strike. . . then froze. Herald of Destruction. . . The goddess simply stared at the demon in front of her, stuck motionless for a moment, before forcing herself to step backward and sheathe her blades. "The edge. Is it so close now?" she whispered to herself. She could not tell how near she was to losing her nature, which made her all the more afraid.

[StormLord]

With her last strike Spicy HG's glaive made a sound something like a whip's crack and the Black Imp's head went rolling off behind it. 

Some kind of energy arcs between her hands and glaive in an array of colors, mostly reds and purples.  It also starts condensing in the air around her as motes of light that drift inward towards her. 

She turned, watching Mitsu's strike and then the hesitation.  She reached out with her off hand and snaps her fingers, causing the imp to glow for a moment before flame erupts from its eyes, mouth, and any wounds, burning it from the inside out.

"Perhaps it is-" She looked up to Mitsu as she spoke, eyes glazed over with the same glowing symbol from the first time they met, she reached up and slid a stray streak of silver-white hairs out of her face, "-Saigai Mitsurugi."

[Yours Truly]

The steady rumble of Mot's steed slowly died away as he pulled to a stop beside the Shinto (?) priestess, one of his hands swiftly flipping a visor up, revealing kind green eyes lying behind it, with the barest hint of crow's feet trailing beside, "Seems we've sent all the little ones packing...."

[GodofGamingRWBY]

Vulture Inn

 

"Yes, it would seem so" Ako replied, slips of paper vanishing into her sleeves as she took in the state of the inn, "Odd that there were so little demons here. I figured that our entrance would alert the entire place to an attack" she added, resting a hand on her chin as she took a moment to think, "Hm... Considering the dark air, the Demon's leader is still around. If I were to give a guess, they might either be above us where the Boss lived, or in the Sanctuary past the hot-" she continued, turning to a hallway off to the side of the room that seemed to lead outside, only to be interrupted when a new voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

 

???

 

"Ah, Miss Ako, what a surprise to see you so far from the Shrine. I see you're also with this fine group. A pleasure to see you all again" a voice called out, a cheerful energy cutting through the tense air like a hot knife. Upon looking for the source, it would be easy to find a familiar face resting a hand on the second floor's railing, taking a short puff of their pipe, "I heard some commotion while I was trying to eat, and figured I would see what it was about. I hardly expected to see you folk here" Tanabe added after the quick smoke, giving a smile to the various members of the group, all while ignoring the dissipating parts of the now slain demons.

[DragonRage]

"What are you doing here?" Lexiel asks suspiciously of Tanabe, "This place is infested with demons."
