Feral Creatures [Playhouse Dungeon Dash]

"Continuing assault..." the cold robotic voice of Zappa rang out and her boosters activated once more and she swooped in from behind the demon slashing at it once more.

Yuri decided he'd fall back towards the rear for now. Everyone needed a chance to fight.

[Yuri joins alt cast]

Akuma had been watching so far, and was thrilled to join in on the action. He ran past Yuri and slapped his hand in a 'tag in'. "I been itching for this. Bring it on, bitches!" Akuma said as he cracked his knuckles, reading for a fight.

From above, the little crow Poe watched as he decided it was best he look out for the new Persona User. Even though he couldn't really help, he wanted to see how these Playhouse guys faired.

"Dante, in position," Akuma said to the leader, waiting for orders on where to go in this warped space. It was strange how space would change the scenery all together. Perhaps the full moon played a part besides just the demons themselves. "Just say the word." He could hear the voice of his own Persona, wishing to wreak havoc on the enemy shadows/demons.

Kendra decided she should probably take a break for now. She was doing okay, but other people might've been more useful.

[Kendra joins alt cast}

Worried for his allies and friends, Tomomi followed from around the corner just in time to see his friends finishing up the fight. "G-guys! Are you okay?!"

Still, all seemed well. As Sultana stepped aside, the terrorist Ribbon stepped forwards to Nightingale's side. "Lead on Nightingale. Make sure to check corners, and take it slow if you need, okay?"

[Swapping in to main team!]

Nightingale patted Kenda on the shoulder as she moved backward, thankful for the girl's help. She was holding up pretty well as "Sultana," all things considered.

Nightingale ran a hand through her hair as she greeted Tomomi at his approach, catching her breath. She knew she'd messed that one up, hurrying around the corner like she had. Luckily, she'd happened to resist the skill the enemy used on her, and they had survived. She was glad it wasn't Revenant that came forward to join the team. She didn't want to look at Cecil and see the disapproval of her rashness. Even with his mask on, she knew him well enough to see it in the set of his shoulders and the angle of his head.

In truth, the terrorist was growing increasingly nervous - anxious even, about how poorly she seemed to be doing. Luckily, she wasn't the only one who'd had difficulty fighting the enemies. That enemy had been quick. But she also couldn't help but remember their support's awakening, where Nadia had been knocked down and nearly mauled to death by demons. Was her frailty to blame? Maybe, maybe not. But it was all more reason for her to push forward, and get stronger. Staying in the back wouldn't make her struggle any easier. "I'm sorry, everyone, I suppose I got a little reckless. Thank you all for backing me up."

Despite her surprise that Ribbon still wanted her to take point after this, Nightingale nodded. turning, she led the team a few more feet to the edge of a turn, where a passage turned sharply to the right, and opened up onto a larger chamber. Somehow, she could feel the energy emanating from the room. It didn't tell her anything, as it might have told their armored navigator, but she knew it was dangerous. "I think there may be something strong up here. If we move quickly, we can get the drop on it before it gets the drop on us this time." She smiled back at them, a brisk, winsome smile before leading them forward.

She did her best to keep as quiet as she could as she made her way down the narrow path toward the larger room. it was a cool, cloudless night, and the full moon hung overhead as a stark reminder of how dangerous the odds were this evening. She'd already seen how one mistep could cause problems for the whole team, and she was determined not to make the same mistake twice.

Cautiously she moved up toward the room, watching for any signs of movement, before finally surging forward into the opening, shackles out and ready to take on whatever it was that they faced, together.

Akuma listened to the woman, Nightingale. What was it that he found this girl beautiful, and yet betted she was probably not old enough for him. Still, her attire and costume to hide her identity made her look hot. He kept that thought to the back of his mind as he knew he was up to bat with the team, and had to focus hard on how he was going to survive. Though he was looking forward to help out, he recalled his skirmish with the cat demon he had when he first awakened to Icarus' Power. He barely scraped out of that one, so he had to use his head and not let his fiery urge to fight get him, or others killed.

The tension was real but Dante didn't read too much into it. To his point of view, they were progressing well. Just the enemy's hits were strong and it was faster than Nightingale in this case. "Can't say I did the same, but I'll watch your back this time around," Dante said, introducing himself to the lovely lady. Of course, one could take that comment literally... He just hoped he was giving the good impression as the roguish ally.

He followed after her into the corner and skidded to a stop at the end of the corridor. Everything in this place, he didn’t even notice when they officially entered. It was just that space seemed to fold upward and swallowed them when they entered the dungeon. "Hey, I hate to stop this train, but I gotta ask," Dante spoke up, to anyone really whom might be kind enough to explain, "How is this possible? I mean demons I get, but since when does night time, the entire city transform into a maze? I know for a fact this was nowhere in the city during the day. What causes this drastic change?" He had to drop the smoldering, hot guy attitude to ask, but it was a fair question. Behind that roguish charm, he did have the curiosity and interest to learn what caused all this.

Dante waited where Nightingale was at the corridor’s edge, hearing her say that the passage ahead contained a powerful enemy. It seemed more like instinct than anything else, but even he could feel a bloodlust radiate from the room beyond. He gripped his fists, but he was not about to chicken out. “"Well I rather think on how we are gonna wreck it than how it will wreck us. I know I am new to all this Persona-stuff, but for some reason I can’t see us losing," he said with a slow growing smirk on his face. He tightened the gloves on his fist , attached to the bracers around his wrists as his weapons. “"You can count on me. I think I got some surprises for both the enemy and you all," he commented—flashing a smirk back specifically to the ladies of the group.

Zappa watched two of her allies switch out and be replaced with two more, she then looked to the one Called Nightingale her sing red eye glowing at her as the girl spoke, her miscalculation had cost them the element of surprise on that last fight, they had been lucky that the enemy had attacked with sub-optimal attack, that was the only saving grace in the whole situation, Though as the girl continued to talk Zappa only stared in silence at the girl, as she took the blame, had she tried to talk her way out of the blame, Zappa more then likely would have called her out on it.

Looking to the other new Ally as he spoke to Nightingale once more her single red eye only glowing as she watched on in silence, waiting for the group to get moving, Thankfully they did and Zappa moved with them, weapons at the ready as she advanced, her single eye sweeping back and forth scanning the path ahead as she kept an eye out for any more enemy contacts.

That is until the one that had lead them into the ambush stopped at a corner and mentioned there was one in there, one that was stronger, and Zappa simply nodded as she continued on with the group ready to rush in and attack, Though the other man mentioned having some surprises and Zappa merely shook her head and replied "Keeping your abilities a secret from your combat group is not optimal for combat operations, knowing what everyone can manage and accomplish is one of the keys to forming a cohesive strategy...however as no one else has been forward with there capabilities I see no reason why you should be the first...." her voice was cold and robotic. as her glowing eye was the only thing that could be seen through her visor, and it was focused on Akuma.

After a moment to make sure her message was understood she looked to the rest of them before doing a quick weapons check "This unit, while slightly damaged is ready to commence operations, shall we Proceed?" she asked as she finished her quick check of her equipment and noting the damage she had sustained.

"Proceed with caution the opponents seem to be stronger then other units this unit has seen and combated, do not drop your guard and do not over extend" she added as she moved with them.

Once again the conflict had been brought to a swift but bloody end, even with the enemy hainvg gotten the jump on them that time. As the dust settled, and the group reorganized their vanguard. Tomomi moved to the front, as well as one of the older members. She merely observed, when a sudden... sensation swelled up within her. She couldn't quite put a name to the feeling. "Our strength continues to go, no doubt this new ability will prove helpful in trials to come." The voice spoke within her. The blonde merely nodded, the motion causing the fanned out lengths of fabric emerging from her back to vibrate slightly, before they went slack and disappeared back inside her.

A sense of understanding pervaded her being for a brief moment as she came to understand what this new capability was. She still didn't really understand the mechanics of any of this. But somehow, instinctually almost, there was understanding in what she could do, even if the "how" continued to evade her. Well, it didn't matter, for now anyways. For now, the girl, from the night before, spoke, apologizing for having let the enemy get the jump on them. "You may have made a mistake there, yes." Isabella would speak, her tone stern. She would pause, just to let the words have a moment to sink in. "But we all survived with minimal injury. So take the mistake you made, and use it to learn." She then resumed, words still stern, but with an underlying, caring warmth to the meaning.

So she would follow the rest, until they came to a corner, where there were words from the others. The girl, noting the threatening aura, meanwhile the older male seemed quite confident. And then there was the one who spoke in a most... unusual manner. So her attention turned mostly to the boastful male. "A healthy dose of confidence is all well and good, but take care you don't let that confidence cloud your judgement." She would speak, voice stern once again. Then she'd raise her voice slightly, so the others could hear too. "Our next skirmish is most likely to be more dangerous than the previous ones. So everyone, please be on your guard. I'll offer what support I can."

That said, a small glimmering ball of light would briefly appear in her hand, flickering, weak. Without much thought, her hand closed up around it, crushing and snuffing out the little light, as she felt her spent strength returning. The shackles on her wrists would manifest into being, as she rushed in to follow the group.

As everyone from the prior combat group got ready and re-motivated themselves, Tomomi followed Nightingale as she led on, more careful this time than she had been prior. A sign of learning, which was... Good, right? Still, wasn't Nightingale someone who'd done this more than Tomomi? She at least held herself as if she had done it for a while. As she explained that there might be a tough enemy, Tomomi nodded. He agreed with that, and from the lack of enemies in the distance along the rest of the corridor's straight length, getting the drop on this enemy seemed like the best idea.

With Dante's comments and Zappa's retort, Tomomi rubbed at the back of his neck and sighed, shaking his head. "Sci fi person is right, fire guy. If we hold secrets from each other for the sake of suspense, we may miss out the chance on co-ordinated, well, strikes. A-also, um... S-save the questions and um... Whatever weird flirting you're doing for after the fight is over alright? We're in enemy territory, and one misstep could be the end of us."

At the navigator's comments about the difficulty, Tomomi nodded. He was really glad she was on their team, even if he hated that she had to go through what she had. "Right. Thank you Veritas. You heard her guys. This’ll be a tough one, so, let’s all co-ordinate as best we can! Nightingale, if you have anything you need us to do in this fight, please shout it out so we can do it! I’ll try my best to keep you all healthy, so, you guys focus on surviving and attacking okay?! Let’s show them the, uh, team work! Yeah!”

With that, Tomomi followed everyone else into the room, pulling out his gun and pointing it ahead of himself as he prepared himself for combat, not wishing to let his team down like he believed he had prior. Whether it was all the questions whirring in his head, the worry for his friends, or the pressure the full moon had brought, Tomomi felt his heart beating loudly in his chest. He held nothing personal against the demons. Larsinny, to Tomomi, was proof that not all demons were evil. But there was a clear problem, and they were often threatening and aggressors themselves. Tomomi was the aggressor this time. And he was determined to strike them down before they could hurt anyone else.
