The Crow's Caw (Yatagarasu's Awakening)

Mikoto Sora’s body would be laying on a rough surface, as something seemed to be crawling up his lower body from all sides. If he were to wake up, he would see that his upper body was on top of a dirt landmass that seemed to stretch for many yards until hitting trees in front of him. His lower body however, would be slowly sinking into the swamp behind him at the edge of the dirtland. Little by little, micrometer by micrometer, his body would soon be fully submerged under the swamp, ensuring his demise. Of course, if he woke up, he would have plenty of time and strength to get out onto the land and also take note of the thin layer of fog surrounding the muggy area. The Yatagarasu if awake, would have no recollection of how he got into this mess no matter how hard he would try to think, and he would not find any of his valuables with him, such as his skateboard. Another odd thing was that if he looked closely, he would be able to see odd oval-shaped openings just floating in the air out near the trees. There were only maybe two of them, but the ovals held a bright light, and seemed to give off a feeling of oppression to the Yatagarasu, as why these were giving off light was unknown. And the final touch on the odd scenery was that if he looked off in the distance, an incredibly large wave, too large to be tidal, too large to be normal, was seemingly frozen in midmovement. Once more, the water was clearly a deep purple. What was the cause of his sudden change of scenery? And more importantly, how was he going to get out?

It felt like he was hit by a truck. This feeling wasn't anything new to him, but the coldness that was creeping up his shorts was the thing to take him off guard even more. To the point of jumping up and doing a combat roll onto dry land; even though it ended with him rolling onto his face. As long as he was out of whatever water was there, he was fine. Now don't get him wrong, he didn't have a phobia of water, he just wasn't compatible with it. Just like that of an open flame. It hadn't even occurred to him that he was in some strange other world. The only thing he had noticed at this time was that his skateboard was indeed missing. That was more important than anything, and he began to search the surrounding area for it; not even noticing the strangeness around him. One could say he was dense, but that wasn't the case. His priorities were just abit scattered was all. That skateboard was the only thing he could call his own in this world, considering he basically lived out on the streets.

"God damn it, where is that thing? Maybe I left it at the skatepark.." That was unlikely, but he pondered the idea and sucked his teeth in irritation. He still hadn't noticed that things were quite different than what it truly was like on Standansen Island.

It’d be a few minutes of silence while Mikoto was looking for his skateboard when he heard the familiar sounds of wheels hitting pavement, coming from a skateboard. From the midst of the trees, an orange-haired kid wearing a beanie would come flying through onto the dry land, before kickflipping to dismount, catching the board in one of his hands before looking around confused. “What the hell. Why does place always have to have swamps everywhere. Damn it…” he said. He would brush himself off then look around to see nothing. This man…looked exactly like Mikoto Sora. His hair, his clothes, his skateboard, his way of speaking. This man had very startling similarities to him…no, he practically WAS him. “Did I go the wrong way? Fuck man…” "Other Mikoto" said through his teeth. Turning towards the Mikoto that had just escaped from the swamp, his eyes would grow a mixed look of shock, confusion, and annoyance. In a brief flash however, his look would turn into a look of horror…and pain. This look-alike would clutch his head as an overwhelming agony seemed to wash over him, causing him to fall on his knees screaming. What was peculiar was that at the moment he started feeling pain, the original Mikoto would feel a similar debilitating pain, as though everything in his body was breaking down. From his muscles, to organs, everything felt like it was falling apart inside him, and it must have been dreadful. Other Mikoto would now have what appeared to be blue and purple smoke-no…fog floating around his body, and if anyone noticed his face, his eyes had now turned golden.

Edge of Madness:

“Get it out..! Get it out…! He’s not here…! I'm weak without...! The pain…” was all Other Mikoto could muster as it continued. He couldn't even finish every thought he attempted to speak. And that’s not all; other things were happening around him, like the swamp which was now growing restless, making waves around him, like some big wind just hit the brown water; yet Mikoto had experienced no wind beforehand. It was just making waves for no reason. A couple trees would tip and eventually fall onto ground or the marsh, and the fog was now growing a bit thicker. The pain continued in both Mikotos, and it seemed that they were all alone. Nothing seemed to be hearing Other Mikoto's call for help. Was the pain just going to tear him apart from the inside? Were the hazards simply going to kill him? What was the Yatagarasu to do?

The sound of such familiar wheels. It was honestly like music to his ears. He had looked up towards the direction of the sound and finally started to notice some things were... different to say the least. But those were the least of his concerns. That sound meant someone was riding his skateboard other than him, and that meant murder to the third degree! He could tell the skateboard was headed his way so he'd only wait. But then he heard a voice, and his eyebrow raised. It kind of sounded familiar, but not enough for him to know it was his own. After all, the way you think you sound and the way you actually sounded were two entirely different things. When the image of himself finally came into the open, the red head would blink a few times before rubbing his eyes. Was this a mirror? Or man, maybe he was on some kinda acid trip or something. Maybe an effect of the experiments finally taking hold of his mind? Damn, there were alot of reasons he could think of, but all of them were horrible.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came over his head and he fell down to a single knee while clutching his head. Where the hell did this pain come from? It was so sudden, it took him off guard. He couldn't even speak, but his amber eyes remained locked on the skateboard this doppelganger was riding. Yatagarasu's priorities were definitely screwed up alittle, but that board meant more to him than one would think. Though he could always remake it, he'd prefer not too. Thanks to already looking towards his skateboard, he noticed the blue fog forming around this other Yatagarasu, and some notable changes. This was like a scene out a bad horror flick, wasn't it? Still, the teen said nothing as he gritted his teeth and forced himself to his feet through the pain.

Suddenly this pain felt more numb than anything the moment he heard the words from this doppelganger. Yata's eyes would spark the moment he heard this remark of weakness, and this craving. For some reason, there was an anger swelling inside him, and his chest began to burn. Even the hazards of the environments wouldn't stop him, as he suddenly lunged forward and sent a fast hook right into the nose of this doppelganger crying about weakness. "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Yata fell back down to a knee after the punch and was taking deep breaths as he continued to deal with his crippling pain going through his body. This.. copy of his, he knew that punch wouldn't lay him out. After all, if they were the same, then he knew that other Yatagarasu had more fighting spirit. "Complaining about something you don't have is stupid shit! Saying you're weak without someone falls into that aswell. I'm the strongest there is, so why the hell would I need someone else in the first place? Damn dumb ass!" For some reason, he was pissed more than usual. There was abit of self loathing in his words.

“That seemed like a bit of an extreme move.” Naomi would chime in as she saw Yatagarasu deck his doppelganger in the face. She was wondering what that feeling behind his words was from, but she wasn’t going to pry. Even she knew they weren’t that close yet. It was something she was curious about though. Her brief moment of seriousness was interrupted by a smile, “Nice to see you again, Yatagarasu. Did you miss me?” She didn’t know how to treat this situation. There were two Yatagarasu’s. She could tell which one was her normal one though. She couldn’t forget that temper if she tried. At least she now knew what was on the other side of those doors. She wouldn’t have guessed it was an entire world. Even more than, those pink doors were the key to them. Thank goodness he wasn’t that hard to find. The place was basically a wasteland, so the voices has lead her here. She would probably get an earful later from the others for going in without waiting for them. She would reach out her hand for Yatagarasu so he could get up from his knees, “Is a little weather enough to send you to your knees? If you don’t stand you aren’t much better.” It was crueler than most of her usual talk, but he didn’t seem like one for a pep talk. He had to get to his feet if he wanted to get back home. She could only help him so much, “Sorry, but I called some backup. They shouldn’t be much longer. You’ll have to put up with us for now.”

After Hyde received the contact information he rushed over to Standasen Island. “Why did she go in alone? She could of waited for us at least, right? “He wondered if the others even reached over there yet, or If she even contacted them? Either way, Hyde kept running at top speed, he didn’t want to be late.After arriving, he saw the pink portal and jumped right on in. After landing, he would have noticed Naomi in the distance along with….”HEHHHHH?!” It was the guy that robbed him on Lumpana island. Hyde actually walked over cautiously, even though Naomi had a very kind smile on her face towards the one that was kneeling. “Yatagarasu right? After observing some more, Hyde noticed that there were two of them!” Wait, I get what’s going on here. You have an evil twin brother that lives in an alternate universe! Then he got jealous and dragged you in because he forgot his lunch money! When he figured out that he couldn’t get tacos…. He did ….wait… Or…. Something….” Hyde scratched his head, that wasn’t quite right. “On second thought, I’m not much a detective. Anyway, were here to get you out. This place is dangerous bro..” Hyde also put his hand out for Yata to take if he needed the extra pull.

However, Hyde had a feeling that he was most likely to turn to Naomi, which was ok. He was only here to help. Naomi resolved herself to help this man, that means there’s something special about him…. probably. Or he means something to her…..probably. That also brings a lot of questions that Hyde could ask later on, like how Yata got here in the first place? However, there was time and place for questions. Regardless if Yata were to answer them or not, Hyde would still help. “I guess now’s a bad time to ask for my five dollars back. “

'Really now..?' Or maybe not. Sharaku wasn't that much surprised that Naomi went there so soon. Then again, she probably had a reason to do so. She could be childish at times, but he didn't think she would rush in just like that. Speaking of which, this once he was actually glad for having free time. And it wasn't like Standasen was only a step away. 'Well, what can you do..?'

Although he was currently reconsidering his decisions, when the first thing he heard after getting there was Hyde's surprised yell, followed by some evil twin brother theory. Walking over to the unlikely group, he would eye them questionably. ''Do I want to know what is going on here....?'' Honestly, maybe he didn't. Finally taking a closer look at what was really going on, he would realize that the guy on the ground looked familiar. Oh, yes, he saw this one a while ago here in Standasen, didn't he? It seemed that Naomi knew this guy. Which was rather surprising as he wouldn't classify those two as compatible. ''Speaking of which, why is there two of them? Unless I'm seeing double...'' Yes, he could see that the other one was different a little bit, because golden eyes and all. Still, it didn't make much sense. He would have guessed that this weird place was behind that, however the rest of them weren't getting any copycats so far. Though he was getting a weird feeling from the golden eyed one.

Well, guess he'd see soon enough, if he was already here....

Sentinel received Naomi's request for aid through a text message, as one of the ones who suggested they go in together felt obligated to help on that account. Further, obligations are based on his developing friendship with the members of the team, and Naomi went ahead before the rest of them. That alone was unwise, but she seemed to value whoever's life this was. Human life was important, but perhaps this individual would be able to help the rest figure out what happened, perhaps they were abducted or something? Regardless, Sentinel would hurry to Standasen island and rushed to where Naomi was going.

Upon arrival he saw his teammates there, and then two of the same individual. How curious, was this a doppelganger of some sort? Supposedly, if one meets their doppelganger then they are going to die very soon. Granted, that was a myth......perhaps that myth was accurate. However, the boy on the ground seemed to be the one that Naomi was intent on defending, therefore to get information he would have to remain alive. As he closed the distance he heard Hyde say something, but was too focused on the boy and his double. The only difference is that one had golden eyes, a curious trait that was not normally found in humans. Therefore...was this thing human? Maybe it was or wasn't. However, Sharaku made a comment about seeing double, and Sentinel nodded in reassurance that he was in fact seeing two. Was this doppelganger posing a threat to the real individual that Naomi was intent on protecting? Sentinel hadn't seen everything, so thus far it was unclear. Though he shifted his stance slightly to ensure that he would be ready for whatever this "double" threw at them. "Sorry for being a bit late, I had to grab a few things before I could leave." He would say turning his robotic eyes toward the double waiting for it to do something that he could analyze.

After being brought to the ground even more by Mikoto, Other Mikoto seemed to not change much in his pain, only now, the colored fog around him was growing thicker. “sHUt ThE FUUUUUUUUCccccckKKK UP!” he repeated back, in a distorted voice. All Other Mikoto was doing at this point was making quivering sounds of pain, even as the others arrived to help the original Mikoto. The portals that the four seemed to come out of would now be radiating random colors, even to the point where Yata could see them if he tried to over the already bright light that only he seemed to see glowing out of those portals. From there, another hideous shriek would come from Other Mikoto, as the fog closed in around him, and practically brought the world to a standstill. The temperature around the air seemed to be growing hotter, and easily making those there start to sweat. However, even with this fog, they could barely see the silhouette of Other Mikoto changing shape and making odd noises. And then all too soon, both the fog from the swamp, and the colored fog would burst from the middle where Other Mikoto was, extending out to the edge of the dry land. What stood where Other Mikoto once was a large mechanical humanoid of sorts, standing almost eight feet tall, easily defeating any of them in size. His right arm was glowing white hot, and looked as though it was on fire, and something that smelled like smoke was apparently emanating from the mechanical monstrosity.

PvS Combat has begun - Shadow Mikoto has appeared, press X to not die.

“FREEEEEEEEEEEEE. NO PAIN. DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE,” came from the mechanical being in a distorted voice as though it was still human, but something had gone wrong; like it had turned into something horrible. It stomped the ground with one foot, sending a tremor around the dry land, as it turned its full attention to the group and Mikoto Sora, who was still feeling the pain, though at a smaller intensity, and was most likely weakened from it earlier. This was Shadow Mikoto’s way out. The original Mikoto had to die. But first, these four would need to be taken care of.

The crow named boy looked up towards Naomi who was offering a hand. Where the hell did she even come from? Regardless, he'd push her hand away and grasp his head in pain. "Buggy? What the hell..? I don't need your help... Back off." He'd force himself to his feet with a grunt while still clutching his head. Soon, more and more people began to show up and his amber eyes narrowed in not only pain but frustration. The thought of being helped by someone else made him sick. It pissed him off to no end. He recognized all of them but one, which was the last one to arrive. Before he could do his usual routine and tell them off, a sudden transformation came from the direction of his double. Like he suspected, this fake didn't stay down, but damn did it change into something crazy. This double had what Yata craved, and it was power. And those flames... Oh how he envied those flames. He was almost mesmerized by them as he watched the beast stare him down. Though the pain in his head was not as crucial as before, it still remained. His eyes and thoughts were more focused on this magnificent sight before him instead of the changing area that was around him, or his own inner pains.

When it stomped the ground, Mikoto fell backwards and rolled off his back towards the edge of the swamp where he started. Stopping his roll, he'd remain on his chest, looking at the beast with wide eyes. "In-Incredible... That's what I'm talking about!" A grin came across his face. If this other Yatagarasu could claim such power, did it mean he could aswell? The thoughts on the question were almost infinite!

Part of her has suspected that Yatagarasu wouldn’t want her help, but she had pushed that feeling aside the moment she decided to come here. As he pushed her hand away, she would simply shrug her shoulders, “I know you don’t. I just thought I would offer.” She was used to this routine by now. It didn’t take her long to adjust to the way a person spoke and behaved, even if it was as harsh as what was coming from Yatagarasu. She simply had to keep smiling, and as she did. The others would show up one by one, “Sorry I went in before you guys. I didn’t want to be late to the dance.” She would twirl around and stop so she was facing the doppelganger. She was glad they could all make it, because there was no way she could handle what was about to happen on her own. This world was going crazy and it all seemed to be cumulating around that fake. She wasn’t sure what to make of all of this, until it took its true form. She didn’t see that coming. It was different from what the group had fought before. This was not a normal Shadow. She knew what had to be done. She concentrated on the space in front of her, the tarot card appearing in the open space. She reached out to touch it, “Intertwined, help me out.” The card would vanish in exchange for the two teddy bears. They came out with a blast too. Not wasting any time, they would smash themselves into the ground as proceed to hurl rocks at the thing.

Naomi would look back at Yatagarasu, who seemed to be enjoying himself a little too much. Not that she could blame him. She was giddy her first time too. She did have one thing to say to him, however, “I’m sorry. I know you don’t need my help, but I’m going to be a pain in the ass anyway.” She would look back at him, “I’ll make it up to you later.” She would turn her attention to her comrades, “Everybody, it’s time to assemble. Do your color justice.” She was referring to their team colors, of course. This was the first fight where they got to officially use them.

Hyde Had his arms folded with a pained expression on his face when he saw the other twin turn into a monster. Maybe it was safe to say that monster took after the person they mimicked, like a body snatcher or something. Hyde was also amused at the fact that this Yata guy was fascinated at the fact that it turned into such a thing. Was it really that amazing? Of course it was, but that thing wasn’t going to get any kind of admiration from Hyde. It threatened his friends, he didn’t like that. “ You’re not killing anyone today!” Hyde’s persona arcana Morpher appeared on the left side of his arm. “STANDING BY!!!” Afterwards, Hyde pressed a button on his Morpher to call out his persona. Codas Kiryn appeared, along with the interface screen for the scan. “Alright team, he’s weak to earth. So we should focus our attacks on that. Don’t underestimate him, he made it as clear as day. It wants to kill us, so it’s safe to say that we don’t have to hold back. Alphonse and me should be the focal point of these attacks. Hitting its weakness should give you guys a much easier time to hit your attacks. This one is extremely resilient; he won’t be going down like the last ones. ” Codas then puts one of his wing stingers to point at the Colossal creature and fires off a small wave of rocks at him.

In the meantime, Hyde would have somewhat of a smile left to share with Naomi. The Crow's Caw (Yatagarasu's Awakening) Lagi+El+Nagil

((OoC: Sorry for any mess ups...first time trying to post on phone lol...took a helluva time to arrange >.>))

Sentinel showed up soon after him, but before much could be done, the apparent doppleganger got pissed off and turned into some...creature. Well, wasn't that just peachy. Guess it was time to fight again. So thrilling...well, not really. Hyde did his thing and found out this one's weakness wasearth apparently, which he couldn't use. No matter. As long as he could do at least something, it wasn't a lost cause. Besides he was pretty sure one of them did have those kind of skills. Naomi called them out on those colors as she summoned her Persona, which made him smile a little. She could be so carefree even in the face of danger. "Very well, let's do this then.", he would say as he faced towards that fiery monster. "Lookie, a big one this time. Well, the bigger they are, the harder they fall!", his Shadow weapon would cheer annoyingly as he was summoned. With a unimpressed roll of his eyes, Sharaku would swipe his arm and send a barrage of icicles at their opponent. Hopefully, the thing was in the mood for some cooling down.

Not long after his arrival the doppelganger with golden eyes would transform into a large mechanical being with a flaming hand. Well wasn't that just wonderful, as if the supernatural part of this whole event wasn't bad enough. It just got progressively worse, but they had handled one situation as a team, no doubt they could handle another. The real one they were sent to defend seemed to be excited about the giant robot's power, even though the giant robot intended to use that power to kill him. ....Humans continued to surprise him every single day, he would simply not learn enough about them at all. They always seemed to change and adapt to different ideals and situations. Regardless, that was enough observation for now, he had to fight this behemoth.

"Initializing combat protocol, engaging target with extreme prejudice." He would say as his Persona rose from blue flames that appeared from behind him. Odysseus sized up the creature before him, before summoning a trident in his hand. Based on the information Sentinel received an earth attack would be the most effective method of eliminating this creature. Fortunately, it appeared as though most of the group would be able to use this type of attack in order to defeat this beast. Following Sharaku's attack, the Greek Warrior tapped the bottom of the trident to the earth two times four jagged spikes launched themselves from the earth striking the creature.

After avoiding Naomi’s attack, the robotic Shadow would be hit from Hyde’s blast of rocks and kneel down on one knee as the man seemed to hit its weak point, the fire on its chest and arm burning just as brightly as it has been. Though once more, it seemed that the other two brought more attacks which the Shadow could not hope to dodge; one of them freezing his legs with frost, adding insult to injury to his already downed state. As he was being hit, the mess of incoherent shouts coming from him would be mixtures of human and robotic noises, like it could not decide which one to decide on. They had their advantage now, as the Shadow was now ready to be attacked, though it would not last for long…
