Bloody Academy

It was going to take a while, yes. But it looks like they were halfway through since the knife-wielding girl's ability allowed them to know such information. But apparently she now has an idea to try out. As per her orders, the boy stood back to see how her idea is going to work. And she somehow summoned a whip. How? Joshua knew all he had was a spear, but is it possible to have multiple weapons? He would have to ask later.

To Joshua's surprise, his phone vibrated. Was it an answer? He stopped to check to see it was. Rinna was coming. There was trepidation, but this would be necessary in order to have enough members to work together to bring down this supernatural asshole.

"Alright, guise. We got Rinna and maybe Simon coming over to us."

Action: Moved back and did nothing. Except tell everyone about Rinna.

DAMMIT! No response coming from Israfel. He should worry about that later, he has to worry about the entrance now. They can't enter the academy unless they destroyed the door but the door seems to be reflecting attacks though. As the brunette told them to step back, He did what he was told and watched the girl whipped the door 13 feet away. What is she trying?

Action:

She threw her hands in the air. Was she the liver on the plate or something? No one even acknowledge that they heard what she said. Plans were sure hard to make when no one followed them! She sighed. At least Rita seemed to get it. She would ask what was up with that weird disguise later. For now, it wasn't an issue. She nodded, “Though not what I was planning, that may work too. We’ll see how far we can get before this thing doesn’t hurt anymore.” She doubted that would be the answer. Still, it was what they had. She called her boomerang to her hand, “I may be able to get a little further than you. The good news is that it appears a single person’s damage is sent back to them and not the combined weight of all blows. That means we don’t have to worry about going for it.” She would comment after seeing the others get hit by the recoil, “This is going to smart, but we have to get in fast.” She took her spot near 25 feet away and threw her own weapon. She could handle whatever came back at her.

She looked at one of the boys she didn’t recognize, “You said Rinna is coming?” Well, that was good and bad. She wondered how this next part would go. Probably badly if they weren’t in yet. Her boomerang would hit the wall and return to her. She would then throw it back. The good news was that from this distance, maybe she would be able to avoid the recoil blood. It seemed to need to physically lash out at it’s target. Distance users may be safe if they can dodge in time. She could take it and then heal herself before they fought the guy. She would look at the other though, “Seriously, start talking to me, or this fight is going to go very badly. What do we have?!” That wasn’t a question. It was an order. She needed to know how this was going to work or they would trip over themselves. They were a makeshift team. It was now or never. And never probably meant death.

That seemed to do it, the Door finally gave in. But usually this meant they could go in, right? Not really. All that blood started to seep out and the ringleader of this madness actually wanted to go head on against them. Which seemed kind of strange. But the knife-girl apparently told them to get out of the way. Joshua did so willingly, all that blood didn't even seem to be like good news anyway. All those people who got stabbed and hurt from those spikes continued to be embedded into his mind

Now they needed a plan to get in there. Not even the walls were an option.

"Yeah, maybe later, asshole," Joshua replied sardonically, "How 'bout you move that puddle away from us when we move up to kick your ass? I'm not too keen to be stabbed through a la Vlad the Impaler."

Action: Moved back as well.

As the others backed away from the red liquid, he did it as well. Dammit, the door was already destroyed. "What's the plan now?" he asked the knife wielding girl who seems to be the 'leader' around these parts. He then looked at the red liquid and the primordial. Damn, things are getting worse huh? "Dammit! Israfel! Where are you!?"

Action: fallong back just like the others did, far enough from the blood.

She nodded at the person with the axe, bass, thing, “Yeah. Sorry. I just have a feeling we’re going against a biggie here. Just wondering what we have. Sorry if I was harsh.” This was new to her. Why was she trying to be a leader? She had never done that before. Maybe it was different this time because she didn’t know these people. They didn’t have a strategy already thrown together. She would both cheer and wince when she saw Rita take the brunt of that all the attack. It seemed 25 feet was the magic number. It didn’t matter though. The wall went down and blood started pouring out.

She look down at the liquid, slowly creeping nearer. So, that gate was keeping them out and it in. That meant… They had freed it. Shit. She looked at everyone in the area, “Okay. Normal people without supernatural gifts, get out. Head to a different island. People with powers, decide what you’re doing.” As soon as Rita reached for her, she would shrug her off, “I’m going to be fighting. If anyone has a way to stop the blood from getting out further, it would be appreciated. Anyone who wants to leave, this may be your only chance. Sounds like he wants a fight and he is playing for keeps.” If Rita tried to reach for her again, she would keep slipping away from her. She knew what she had to do. She had to make Rita understand, “It’s too late for that. We came here, we broke down the gate. If we run, we create a bigger mess. I’d rather deal with this here and now. Even if it is a trap, I have to take that chance.” She stepped forward, approaching with caution. She didn’t know what other traps there were and she wasn’t going to run straight into them. Still, she supposed she would find out as soon as she walked past the gates. Maybe she would get lucky and not be killed by a pile of red goo.

She could feel something else inside her head. She didn;t know if it was because of him or something else, but it was there. It pushed against her temples and made her want to groan. Now was not the time for a headache. She had to do this. No… She wanted to do this. She wanted to fight and take their home back, “Well, you aren’t the only one then. Let’s dance; shall we.” She would hold up her boomerang, ready for whatever was about to happen. There was no running for her. Not now. She knew what was on the line. Her sanity, her body, even her life. She was risking all of it for a chance to stop this. That was what she had come here for, however. It was her resolve. She just hoped she wouldn’t have to rely solely on her weapon for the entire fight Intertwined and Tommie would be nice.

((Naomi is not letting Rita/Shion drag her away, and she is moving forward))

Joshua would be lying if he weren't scared. He wanted to run the hell away, but this thing was in front of them. Clearly he wanted to fight them. There was such fear... But a familiar voice heralded the presence of the earlier confident Rinna. He felt a little bit braver. Certainly, he cannot fall behind and just cower. Joshua sprinted as fast as he could as the doors started to close shut. He had to get in there and help. There's no way he can just simply let it happen.


As he ran, he threw his long spear right at Ananke while not hitting the others that were already inside. At least to buy everyone else some time to get inside. No doubt, it'd attract the Primordial's ire. But, the spear would disappear before Ananke would do anything to it. With the Primordial's attention, hopefully focused on the weapon, Joshua jumped and would land inside. And hopefully the others would as well while taking this opportunity.

Shit! This is bad! The bitch is starting to attack! The gates were also about to lock in as well. Kazuya was hesitating, he faced a Primordial for the very first time and he doesn't know what do. Israfel is not responding either so it's no use. Kazuya is scared, very scared. "Don't be afraid, my boy." Kazuya heared someone speaking inside his head. It was his Prime Persona, Sphinx. "Sphinx?" Strangely, Kazuya suddenly calmed down as he heard the voice. "Yes, it's me. Are you gonna face that monstrosity?" he asked. At first, Kazuya didn't know what to answer. Is he gonna attack? Kazuya thought that he is not alone, he has the others so they can do this, right? "I'm gonna fight" Kazuya answered, closing his fists. Now, without any more hesitation, Kazuya ran for the gate and entered the battle. "I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU!"

Well, at least she wasn’t the only one stepping up to the plate. Naomi would look at the other who had stepped up with her. She wasn’t blind, however. She noticed that the blood stopped upon their entry. That was weird. She also felt her Persona come back to her. Just what she was hoping. This place had enough supernatural energy that it linked them. That was good news. There was also one other little spot of good, possibly worrying news. Rinn had finally showed up. She was glad to have a friend, but she was concerned about the danger. Still, she would nod and smile, “Same. Now let’s kick butt.” She was ready to get this over with. Also, she was starting to hate Ananke more and more. Did he really just cackle? Like a supervillain? He had serious issues.

She had her own issues though. She reached up to cradle her head only to find it burning up. Was she getting sick? No. She didn’t feel that. It was just her head. What the heck was wrong with her? She had no idea, but she wished it would stop. She needed to concentrate. She looked back when she realized he was using the blood to shut the gates again That was their cue that they were going to be separated from the others. Great. This was now a true battlefield. As if were fake before? She would look out to the others, who appeared to understand what that meant. They were now all trying to rush inside the gate. She had herself a good laugh in her head. At least they were dedicated idiots, just like she was.

The next moment is what made her jump. While her attention was diverted for that brief moment, she felt Ananke right next to her and heard him whisper something into her ear. It was a phrase she didn’t know. Clearly not in English. She wanted to turn around and hit him for it, just she felt a sudden pain seep deep into her palm. She didn’t scream, but she did gasp and wince once it hit her.She looked down, seeing that numbers had tattooed themselves into her flesh. No, not still numbers. These were moving; counting down. She stared at for it a little longer than she probably should have, thinking she was dreaming. When they didn’t vanish, she knew this was real. So, this was how he fought. It was a game with rules. He was like a little kid. An all-powerful, evil little kid.


She would stare up at him as he mocked her, “Chocolate? Maybe you’re colorblind, but I’m more of a caramel. Still, I would be glad to give you the taste you are so craving.” Gold dusted fluttered around her as Intertwined appeared from the mess. She would nod at each of the bears, then turning back to him, “You know, if you want to play a game, you have to play it fairly. How am I supposed to understand the rules when you give me the instructions in another language? I’ll tell you now: I can’t. Having said that,” she lifted up her boomerang and tossed it straight for Ananke’s head, “if you want me to share, I gladly will.” The feeling in her head seemed reasonable to share. He needed a good knock to his head to remind him of his place here.
