Gym Under Attack (Mass Awakening 3)

Ryuu grinned. The battle was going well. Better than he thought it would go, in fact. "She's right. We're nearly there." Ryuu looked at Rita and nodded. Feeling confident enough to try striking the Shadow himself, he dashed forward, pushed on by Rita's words. She was right. Just a little more. They were so close. "Take this!" Ryuu thrust his blade forward and tried to stab the Shadow.

Miss Chance:

((Dex attack btw))

"Whoops, hope that didn't burn anything important." Akira said while patting himself down. He then quickly spun his knife around his hand and launched it towards the remaining shadow. He glanced around at the others to check if they were doing fine.

Hyde quickly ran towards the group and grunted towards the fact that the boss has appeared. “I’m sorry guys; I wasn’t able to break the wall sooner. However, you guys did well for your first run, but this is the climax!” Hyde would say as he took and offensive stance, he felt like he needed to be the head of the group for the time being, only due to the fact that he had a bit of experience with dealing with shadows. The other individual who is known as Akira is just as experienced, Hyde wouldn’t mind if he started to step up and take the helm instead. However, the female persona user showed promise. She could probably pilot this group if she wanted to as well. “This creature is controlling the domain and making things black and white, this area will go back to normal if we take it down. “ Hyde would say as he looked around towards the others with an uplifting smile, he truly had faith in their abilities. He would especially give Koy a more reassuring look. “I won’t let anything happen to you Koy, but there’s only so much I can do alone. I’m counting on you…” This won’t end like what happened to his other world, Hyde had a responsibility to keep his classmates safe.

“Alright team, I’ll take the head for now. You can follow my lead, or make the best decisions for yourself. It's your choice, but I’m doing my very best to help so at least take my words as advice if anything. I used up my scan, so I’ll need you to scan this thing for weaknesses Koy. This is a team effort; we can all stay alive if we work together. If there is anything we can exploit, it would be best to know about. “ Hyde would then glance at Akira. “ You might have skill or two that could disrupt this thing, I do as well. I think we should try to get as much hazards up as possible so the more offensive persona users could let loose.” Hyde would then address the rest of the persona users with a strong voice. “Right now were waiting for Koy’s scan until we focus on a strategy, me and another is going  cripple it, while you guys could let loose and attack for now.  It has to be weak to something, let’s hope we get lucky before we find out what it is! After this move, he’s going to feel it! Ready……” Hyde would say as Codas Kyrin begins to cast Rakunda on the boss shadow. After the cast was done, Hyde was hoping that he could pilot this team to victory. “Go!”

Watching as their combined attacks managed to erase the black creature from this world, Rita gave a thumbs-up to everyone who participated, looking a bit sadly at Alex, though she'd deal with him after this. "Alright, good job, everyone, this should... wait, what the...?!" Looking in surprise as the wall melted only to form another, bigger shadow, Rita readied her sword once again while looking at Hyde. "You seem to know what you're doing here, good sir... Very well, I'll follow your lead for now!" Running over to the larger shadow, Rita grabbed her Evoker and fired it at her head again, releasing the azure mist around her as well as the crimson dress flowing around her persona. "Nero, once again! Slash it to pieces!" The golden-haired girl's eyes shone a radiant emerald color as she sprinted towards the shadow, giving it a radiant uppercut with the Aestus Estus. "That should do for us... good job weakening it!" Looking over at Hyde once again, Rita sprinted towards Alex, intending to give him a piece of her mind. "Alex! What the hell are you doing?! Come on now, just because you missed ONE attack doesn't give you the right to stand still and watch everyone fight! Stand strong and help us, this is the last one!" Trying to give him some words of encouragement, Rita patted his back once again firmly, looking now to the rest of the group.
"That goes to all of you as well, do not falter! We will not die here, I won't allow it!" Looking now very determined to kill this thing and end this nightmare for everyone here, Rita sprinted to the front of the group and looked the shadow in its mask as if saying "Come at me!" She readied her sword for anything and simply stood in front of the group, defending it.

The feeling of victory was short lived. Almost no time after defeating these other enemies, another one appeared. This one looked far more powerful. He felt the confidence he had shrink smaller and smaller. "God..." he mumbled. For a moment, he thought about giving up. But no. He had gotten this far. Ryuu nodded. He would see this through until the end.

"You think i'm afraid of you?" Ryuu mumbled weakly. It was clear that yes, he was afraid and that attempt at a brave line was made to somehow help his fear. "Break it, Xerxes!" Ryuu shouted and thrust his hand out towards the enemy. Xerxes appeared in front of his master, raising his spear into the air as a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and attempted to strike the enemy.

(( OOC: Spoiler posting for the win! As you can guess, I'm not that good, so I'll be doing this for some time, I guess.))

Before the scan came in, the girl named Rita showed some reasonable progress at guessing the right weakness. “Alright team, listen up. When you hit the sweet spot of what these creatures are weak to, they are downed for a while. This means we could hit them and we won’t have to worry about it retaliating or dodging for a moment.  On top of that, it’s good to know that we retain something that could count as this thing’s weakness. We could carry on, since we know this girl right here …ahh..what’s..your name?” Hyde would look towards Rita for a moment; he didn’t want to be rude so it was a good idea to ask. “Well, this girl right here guessed the weakness, so we know to use slash if we really want to hit it where it hurts. As for me, I’ll be switching to something more suited to this shadow.  It’s a good thing I came prepared. “

Hyde would then press a few buttons on his arcana morpher, codas kyrin disappeared for a brief moment as he switched over to another persona. “  Valkyrie….set!” The morpher would be pending Hyde’s command, but Hyde would talk to the girl once more while he waited. “You could try leading  little bit too. What’s it going to be? Do we play it safe or all out attack?

The Shadow dropped down in front of Rita as all the attacks set in, though Nero's Cleave had it downed for sure if it was only it at that time, she knew that... Listening to Hyde's explanation, Rita felt a familiar feeling... like nostalgia... maybe she had done this before...? As she thought and tried to remember, a headache hit her brain like a bullet, sending her forward while she clutched her head... calming down, Rita had all the time in the world to think about what happened... but Hyde's inquiry about her name brought her back to reality and dispelled her headache completely. "My name? My name is Rita! Rita Arisato!" Standing back up, Rita remembered why she was fighting... to not only save herself but everyone here as well... "This thing can't defend itself now, right? Hit it with your best shots, people! Go all out on this thing and erase it before it can get up!" Looking to Angel, Rita saw a display of the stats, smiling as she saw the weakness listed as "slash"... she knew exactly what to do. "Alright! Let's do this again, Nero!" Her eyes flashing with pride, Rita got out her gun again and fired it at her head, letting out the golden-haired girl who immediately ran forward and twirled around, slashing the Shadow's body again in one of the rotations. As Nero attacked, Rita quickly sprinted towards Alex with a proud look on her face. "Now is a great time to poison it, Alex, go for it, this thing isn't going down any time soon and I don't care if you miss, you're still trying to help." Placing a hand on Alex's shoulder, Rita definitely heard that "Buzz buzz" sound he made earlier. "You're not a bee, Alex. You're not a mindless drone." Speaking to him with confidence, Rita continued. "You have the potential to be so much more... you can be a wasp, a knight, a defender! You can be the one to make or break the enemy, it's all your choice." Standing now by him, Rita gave him a cocky smile, she really felt that Alex's ability was important... important enough that it would be absolutely necessary with her, no matter what.
Looking to the group, Rita issued her next orders individually. "You there, the one with the Persona Xerxes!" Pointing her finger at Ryuu, Rita continued. "Your weapon, it is a sword, yes? Use it now instead unless your Persona can slash as well!" Looking to Yuugi now, Rita continued on. "That Persona, Angel." Looking at it from top to bottom, Rita examined it carefully. "He's a Support-type Persona, correct? If so, then try your best to record the enemy's attack patterns, we need a clear visual indication of how this thing works." Rita was speaking authoritatively though she herself didn't really know why... it's just as if she was born for this... "Try and get some damage in as well, if you can! We need every single bit of it we can inflict on this thing!" Though tactics weren't the best per se, Rita was still proud of what she was doing. Looking to Hyde now, Rita nodded at him since he knew what he was doing already... but in contrary, she shot a glare at Akira, who stood there without attacking while everyone else did their best... though she couldn't blame him, maybe he was scared or something... he must have had his reasons for what he did. Looking at Alex next to her now, Rita extended her hand out to him. "Break this enemy, I believe in you. All we need is for you to try... you're a knight now... my knight." Speaking confidently, Rita looked Alex straight in the eyes... how she could place so much trust in him was unknown to even her... but that didn't matter, she knew that what she did was right...
