(Train and Niceboat, etc, work on Chaos. Also, I don't think Newan and Aesera will summon Tenshi, right? Its too late now anyway.)

<Nietz> Anyway, sex toys alone won't come up to 11k.
[18:48] <Warma> There must have been a new depth, where you've sunk as a person. Then you dug through that.

(Yeah, no Tenshi until later.)

Newan looked in sheer terror at the monstrosity before them. "What the hell?!" It has Nazrin now...

Ba-bump.


Newan slumped down to the ground, on his knees. What am I supposed to do?! I can't fight that!

Ba-bump.

Nazrin and I couldn't even destroy one of those things, and now she's gone!

Ba-bump.

What the fuck do I do?!


Newan was nearly on the verge of tears. He realized that he really couldn't do anything to help in this situation. The only two people he cared about were about to be taken away. The pain forming in his hand didn't help.

Wait... what?

BA-BUMP.

(... Meh. Here goes nothing, I guess.)
Rhiseza looked at what the blobs had 'merged' in to... And watched for a moment as it took Mokou, Koishi, Kanako, and Nazrin. What else -could- she do?
... Well, if ever there was a time now would be it.
She pulled the marble from her bag and stared in to it. If it did something she had to figure out how to use it. So she concentrated on it and... Tried to figure it out.
If you do anything helpful, now would be good...

"Um, Koishi?" said Gale to the satori, who was still recovering from the attack.  "Uh...could you..."

"Never fear!" shouted Koishi, albeit somewhat incoherently.  "Unless you're a force of...Chaos!"

She launched an attack on the abomination's subconscious.

"Well, nice to see you alright," said Orin to Gale.

"Th--"

"I was being sarcastic."

"Oh.  Lovely."

Ranna watched in sheer horror as the blobs developed into something else, and as it began to devour their newly found comrades, including her own. She was frozen, eyes wide. She couldn't close them, no matter how much she wanted to, even as she watched the monstrosity take hold of Mokou, pulling her in and plunging it's bone-like blade through her. There was an eruption of blood. It splashed out onto the ground, staining it a deep crimson.Blood dripped from the tip of the blade slowly, as if it was completely unaware of the situation at hand. Mokou's scream of pain muffled by the blood that had forced it's way up her throat and out of her mouth. Her eyes winced in unmeasureable pain. Unmeasureable, seemingly endless pain.
Ranna's entire body shook as the sight was burned into the depths of her subconscious. Her mind empty, devoid of any sort of thought. She felt a slight cold sensation on her cheek, that slipped away down her face.
Her vision began to blur, from  her eyes being open too long. Her heart felt like it was shriveling to nothing, and her vision slowly tinted red.
If her mind could say anything to the girl, it would be this:
I need to do something.
I need to save them
to save her!

"Once again," Aesera said, "fuck."

There wasn't much time. The thing had Kanako, and if Kanako died (assuming she could be killed; Aesera wasn't sure if a god could actually die), Aesera would die, too. And then Aesera felt something odd. A reaction? If we're supposed to fight these things, then it's not impossible that there's something special about us.

there wasn't much time to think. Okay, we've tried a lot already, so now it's time for something that'll be completely unexpected. "Newan," she said, "with me. This is going to sound suicidal, but charge the damn thing and punch it! We don't have many options," she continued, cutting off the inevitable protest, "and if we don't get Kanako and Nazrin out of there, we're dead, so don't object! And if your feeling weird like I am, you may be reacting to this thing, so don't back out if something happens. Free our partners, then free Nanaya. And... go!"

Aesera didn't wait for Newan's response. She simply charged, hoping that Newan chose to move in with her. She got as close to Kanako as she could, knife in hand. I hope this thing means something.

Aesera thrust her knife into the thing with as much strength as she could.

-----------------------------------------

OOC: If Aesera's hand starts to pass into the thing or whatever, she'll let it happen and try to get some effect (the absorption, although she doesn't know that) from her hand.

(Hm... I'm not sure if yours is a hand thing, but to hell with it, let's roll with it.)

Don't you get it?! I don't have a weapon!That's easy for you to say, when you have a- what the hell is wrong with me? This isn't the time to be thinking. We're in danger. Nazrin is in danger. Nanaya is in danger. This is not time to think. Just act! Of course, Newan didn't notice that he had already begun running at the Chaos creature on instinct. What he did notice was that what was supposed to be a punch ended up a bit... different.

((Aesera is simply taking things as they happen. Whether or not what she's experiencing is real, she is experiencing it, so she's going to act as though it is real. And also, she's far from fearless; fear can be good. Panic is what you don't want, but being fearless is not really a good thing. What she is is unconventional. She's doing something stupid, and she knows it's stupid. She's doing it precicely because it's stupid; she doesn't think an enemy would be prepared for such a stupid move))

(Just saying, Mokou, Kanako, Koishi and Nazrin are being suspended by tentacles. And about to be raped before their organs are ripped out. You better save them. Ahahaha. It'll be really gruesome if you fail. Also, Mystia has both abilities, but Nightblindness doesn't work currently, and Chaos doesn't go mad. It's already mad.)

Aesera and Newan take the first move, charging directly, stupidly, very randomly, at the Being of Chaos. With Kanako extended far back, Aesera can't reach her unless she manages to either slide to the side or jump over the being. Why doesn't anyone else help them... Why? Newan takes a quick look behind him before he reaches the being. Orin and Gale just standing there, useless, in shock. Alice has no dolls now, they've all been taken away, taken into that darkness in front of him. Alyssa the little princess. Standing by watching in silence, tears brimming in her eyes, unable to help. Ranna's looking in fear and shock too, at Mokou. With that gigantic gash on her stomach, and arrows don't hurt it. Reimu's knocked out cold, her bleeding has stopped, but that's about it, shes just dead weight. Mystia's constant Danmaku don't even leave a scratch, and Nanaya's inside that... thing. Vante can't do anything too.

The humans are completely useless, their partners made helpless, at the mercy of this abomination of chaos, and four of them, or maybe five, are about to die. This useless, ragtag group of people had to be chosen for a reason. If Yukari hadn't chosen them, who could have? Someone of a higher power? Or was it just a mistake. A miserable final attempt to save the world? There were only eight of them, now one, lone one, standing in front of them. What if these monstrosities had armies? Nothing will survive...

Youmu appears up front and center, shoving the running Aesera. Newan stops in his tracks.

"Humans don't have to die for us." Youmu grabs her other blade and pulls it out. "What these blades cannot cut - Nothing!"

Youmu charges forward, swinging each blade in rhythm, but all are blocked by the black arm-blades that the Chaotic Being has, each displaying master swordsmanship, but Chaos has the upper hand, I mean, it's fighting while holding four prisoners. And every tentacle is too busy trying to rip the prisoner's clothes off to deflect Youmu's blows. With another quick slash, Youmu fires a blue bullet in point blank range. It connects with the being's face, releasing some black smoke. Youmu immediately jumps backwards, slightly exhausted by the constant fighting. It's weird, she doesn't get tired easily... Unless that thing is absorbing her energy.

Rhiseza calls Youmu's name, and she turns, noticing her Half-ghost has become smaller. That thing is absorbing Myon, and will eventually, corrupt her. Youmu takes a step back, unable to charge back in without the chance of her becoming one of... that.

Kanako manages to pull a tentacle off her mouth, forming orbs of wind on her hands and attempting to throw them at the Chaos.

"H-Help!" Kanako shouts, before another black tentacle enters her mouth forcefully, beginning to rape her throat. (OH DAYUM.)

Aesera and Newan take their charge again, they have nothing to lose now. They could die either way, but dying to save their friends would be better then just rotting in the grasp of that thing without helping at all. Youmu falls to her knees as the duo rush forward, her energy spent, and Myon becoming even smaller. Why doesn't anyone help? Why are they just staring. Why? Why?

The being opens it's mouth, it's head covered with that glowing green skull. "One, by one." It claws Mokou's stomach again, reopening her slowly regenerating wound, revealing her organs. Liver, Stomach and Intestines. Tentacles begin crawling up her pants, ripping it in the process. Chaos drools at the sight of Mokou's incapitated body, unable to move, at it's mercy. It's drool is blackish green, and acidic, as seen as it drips on Mokou's shirt, slowly burning it and melting her skin. Mokou's constant screams of pain are silenced once again by a tentacle entering her mouth.

Why, why, why?

The duo reaches the being, and plunges their Knife, and fist directly into the black mess. Chaos turns it's head... smiling? It's jaw opens once again, and it begins to speak, as their arms are being dragged into it.

"Stupid honor and bravery will get you nowhere, humans. Let's try that again."

Chaos forcefully expels their limbs, causing them to fall back a considerable distance. Chaos stops with Mokou, and turns it's entire body to face them. "One, more time. Treat this as mercy."




---Within The Maelstrom of Chaos
Nanaya lies, curled up in a ball, surrounded by the horrors of the world. How did it end up like this? Will it all be gone? Will all of creation will be gone? If the Chosen Ones die before their time, won't it all have been for nothing?

"Katelin..." No responce.

"...K-Katelin?" Silence in the darkness

"K-Katelin!"

"Answer me! Talk to me!" Only the cold stare of the abyss lies in this swirling vacuum of nothingness.

"There is no Katelin."

"W-What are you talking about!? I'm right here! We're one!"

"Foolish. Only the firstborn of God ever existed. There was no human side of her... It's long gone. And now, you'll be my pawn."

"N-No!"

"Don't be afraid. Embrace the darkness."

"No!"

"Katelin left you to fend for yourself."

"Never! No! Get away from me!"

"That part of longing? That human? he will never save you."

"...No... K-Katelin... Help..."

"There is no more Katelin. Only Chaos."

"N-New-wan..."

"Come now. Join us..."

"N...no..."

Nanaya's voice is gone from the darkness...

---BGM : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBlGyUctjkc

Aesera and Newan silently nod to each other, before charging once again, but this time, they have tasted Despair. Fear. Everything, every sin of mankind. There's nothing left for them. Except hope. What a knife once was, now turns to dust and floats in the wind. Aesera charges forward, her arm shivering in pain, but the pain is good... Right before it connects, out from the palm of her hand, is the tip of a lance. It expands, and splits into two. Red and Yellow, it pierces the dark hide of the Chaotic Being.

Newan follows suit, his hand pulsing finally stopped, and in it's place, a blade of pure light ruptures from his backhand, appearing to be as long as about how a shortsword would be like. With their new found weapons pierce the Chaotic Being, It roars, dropping Koishi from it's tentacled grasp, but the others are still held onto it. A tentacle finally rips Nazrin's top off, and begins entering her mouth from imbetween her breasts. another crawls up her leg. The being swings it's arms wildly, in an attempt to decapitate the duo. It misses, but send the two of them back quite a long distance...

You have his Mind. I grant you the Strength. Aesera hears, as the lance fully emerges from her hand. It's long, spear-like, twisting at the tip and expanding into two individual spikes, red and yellow.

You have her Regret and Sorrow. I grant you the Will. Newan hears, as the blade of light is surrounded by runes, and his right backhand, at the part where the blade connects, appears a blue crystal that melds with his hand and forms a glove.

Gale and Orin look at each other, before also charging. Chaos manages to whip out a tail from it's behind, swinging onto Orin's face. It's spiked exterior cutting her cheek, before swinging her to a nearby tree. Gale manages to get into striking range of the being, but is stopped as a large tentacle appears from the being's chest, flying straight at Gale. He puts his hands up in defense, a measly, failure of one. The sharpened tentacle rips through his hands, but Gale doesn't back off, even as he shouts in pain. He grabs onto the tentacle.

You have his skepticism, but you also do have his determination. I grant you knowledge. Runes float around Gale's wrists, ankles and neck, before attaching themselves to his body. Gale's head faces the floor, mumbling to himself as his eyes begin glowing black. "Braveheart."

Light whips out from Gale's limbs, ripping the tentacle that he grabbed in half, before Gale's wounds heal.

Ranna grabs her bow, and aims at the Tentacles that are about to penetrate Mokou's secret spot, the ones holding her up, and the one in the mouth. With about five, explosively quick snaps of her fingers, the arrows fly towards the Tentacles. It had did no damage before, but...

You have his coldness. Try to be kind to others. I give you the Power. The arrows flare up in shades of green and purple, their tips turning into the heads of dragons, and they connect with the tentacles holding Mokou, beginning to boil the Tentacle's insides, melt them, and Mokou drops to the floor, crawling for her life. Well, she can't die, but being tortured like that was much more painful then how Kaguya would have "killed" her.

Alyssa's tears fall from her cheeks. What could she do? She was just this little girl... You have her innocence, and her childhood. I grant you the state of being. Alyssa heard the words in her mind, but what could she do... She was just a girl, alone in this world... No. She had new friends, although they were a makeshift group of buddies that were chosen by some higher power, she finally, had people she could trust. And she would defend that freedom she was granted. Alyssa dropped Mira to the ground, but her faithful doll didn't fall to the floor. It stood next to her, turning slightly translucent and greenish. The doll flew forward, going through Nazrin, before flying back to Alyssa.

Nazrin's body began emitting light the same colour as Mira. The tentacles dissolved in the light, and Nazrin fell to the floor, unconscious.

Rhiseza was silent. Reimu was beside her, and now, Youmu too. Her eyes were closed, concentrating on the small marble-sized orb. What could she do? The orb began to sink into her hands. With two unconscious people beside her, what could she do? She was the assistant, the helper. The healer. and God would help her to be so.

You have her kindness, and her funny confusion. I grant you the Life. Black circles began forming around Rhiseza, circling her silently as her eyes were closed. It's ironic that they are black, because she had the power to... Give Life? The black circles shone light bellow them, and black, clawed hands emerged from her back, acting as arms too. They were black, but they shone holy light. Her own hands now, had gloves, with mysterious symbols on them. The Healer. The Savior. The Priest. The Pope.

Reimu and Youmu regained consciousness, and Myon was back to it's original size. Their wounds were slowly closing...

Finally, Vante. With this rainbow scale in his pocket, he pulls it out, making some random poses like how it worked in the movies. It apparently never worked like that. You have his cunning, and yet, his selflessness, and tiny, foolhardy self. I grant  you the Barrier. The rainbow scale began to expel smoke, but it wasn't black. It was blue. Blue and the colour of the universe. Vante's body changed with the process. He was the only one that heard more then a sentence. Vante. Ever heard of Dante's Inferno? And Devil May Cry?

A bone-tipped scythe fell from the sky, and ripped the ground where it landed in two. Vante stepped out of the smoke, his body covered with blue and purple demonic protrusions, like a someone from Devil May Cry 4 and Dante's Inferno. He picked the Scythe up. And smiled. With a flick of his wrist, the scythe flew at lightning speed towards Kanako, cutting the tentacles from her. Kanako fell to the ground, pulling off the tentacle from her mouth, mumbling something like an incoherent "Thanks" She began limping away. With the four, naked and severely injured, slightly defiled inhabitants of Gensokyo freed, only one remained.

Nanaya. And the tables had turned.

Mira flew in front of Alyssa as if gesturing to her, I am at your beck and command! Alyssa was still trying to get a grip on reality, having difficulty coming to terms with what was happening in front of her, living a sheltered life.

Alice turned behind and knelt down, holding a hand on Alyssa's shoulder as Mira floated beside her, glimmering as a hope for the group. "Alyssa, you can help them, just keep calm and you can help everyone! The dolls seem to repel the tentacles, so, you know what to do." As she spoke her last phrase, she gave Alyssa a pat on the shoulder, and turned around to make sure that the area around them stayed safe. Alyssa kept her head into the situation, quickly commanding Mira to fly over to the frontlines of the group, getting ready to protect whoever need be.

Whatever that voice was, whoever granted her this power, Alyssa knew she needed to use it now, and was thankful that she could. She wanted to protect this newfound group of allies.

(OOC: Could anyone be so kind to tell me whom YJ has made Vante look like?

I now feel like I wrote this incorrectly. The scythe isn't going to fly back, by the way.)

The smile on Vante's face did not fade, in fact, it grew bigger. His body was shivering, trembling in sheer excitement of the newfound strength he had. The baston was also shaking under his intense grip. Why was he the one given power? Why not someone better than he was? There were plenty here who could fit the bill.

Even in this scenario, he found himself remembering the time he practiced.

"Do the thirteen strikes."

Once the fun started, it doesn't stop. That was basically the principle of arnis; you don't stop until you beat the other guy.

"Downward left. Downward right. Upward left. Upward right. Right stab. Upward left. Right, down to the floor. Back up to the left. Downward right. Downward left. Left stab. Right stab. Overhead," the instructor-slash-master would dictate.

This was the "basic combo," as anyone would call it.

Yes, yes, he was going to fight the Chaos spawn. He had to. He wanted to. Just imagining using the basics on it was enough to send Vante into his own little world inside his head.

Involuntary giggling escaped his mouth. Mystia, having seen all that had transpired, was more perplexed than she was surprised. "What just happened?" she couldn't think of anything else to say.

"Mystia?"

"Yes?"

"Could you come with me?" By some primal instinct, they both knew what that meant: fighting the enemy. But even then, some tiny amount of apprehension took hold of Vante.

"My pleasure! This will be very messy," Mystia, flapping her wings once or twice, shot herself at the opponent. "No time for waiting~"

"Don't go overboard!" Vante followed suit, his eyes locked on what stood in front of everyone.

The bird's flight rose sharply as she reached the spawn, raking her claws against its chest and face. "It feels so good to be doing this again!" she followed it up with another familiar, creating another trail of bullets. Mystia landed a good distance away from the opponent.

The human finally caught up. Before the dark spawn could react, he went into the basic arnis striking stance: halting, then one simple hit against the left of the opponent.

"Well, I was going to do this anyway."

"Basic" didn't need to be boring. Whether the one who did it was an expert or not, each movement was an unceasing chain of action, fast and ferocious. As he executed the thirteen strikes, his feet moved along. The left foot moved forward first, then the right, then the left, along with each strike. Each impact was oddly satisfying, and it was a good thing that bamboo didn't break under large force.

The only drive he had were these panicky, desperate thoughts.
Die, die, die, die, die! I'm the one who will win! I must be the one! Me! Me! I don't want to die!

Looks like I was right. "Okay, people," Aesera called out, "Nanaya's still in there, so priority one is getting her out! Rip this thing open until we find her!"

Aesera charged, her new weapon ready. She'd never weilded a lance before, but given that it was clearly some sort of magic weapon, that might not matter. Hopefully its use will just come naturally.

"W-What...?"  mumbled Gale as he looked at the whip of light that had suddenly appeared.

"Why don't I get a weapon?" said Orin, looking up.  "I'm not about to go back underground just to get my cart, you know."

"Well," said Koishi, "that was decidedly gross.  Cool weapon, though.  Gonna pass out.  Don't mind...me..."  And so she did.

"Yeah, you should probably charge ahead," said Orin.  "Nowish."

"Fine, fine..."

Gale charged toward the force of Chaos, his light-whip dangling behind him as he ran.

(Uh...it is a whip, right?)

Rhiseza felt the marble sink into her hand. It was... an unfamiliar feeling, to say the least.
You have her kindness, and her funny confusion. I grant you the Life.
... What did that mean? And what did the gloves and these new... Arm.. Things... Have to do with it?
Then she noticed Reimu awake and, more importantly, unwounded.
... The world moves in strange ways, it seems.
Youmu was back to her full capacity as well, or so it seemed. Which meant there was only one thing to do.

"Youmu, I have a favor to ask of you."
"What would that be?"
"Make sure it dies, please."
