Kaishihara's question brought a rather blunt response from Slindis, who at this point was rather tired of all the nonsense. [color=c200]"You know who we are, and you know why we're here. I don't take you for a fool, and to be honest I'm not having any of your formalities."[/color] The glare Rugal's Shadow gave her was a bit troubling, but her top priority was getting this over and done with.
Devon and Ella were both a bit shocked by the bluntness, since it wasn't what they would have normally expected from the normally calm paladin. Still, they knew enough to understand that this man would probably lie out of his teeth if he was given a lot of wiggle room.
Finally, Melethia took a look at the room for hidden traps as she knew that Shadows weren't the only thing that could hurt them here...
As the group was on the way up to Kaishihara's office, Kala responded to Rugal's request with. "Magic is a hard thing to learn. That one was a fairly basic ranked spell, but... well, it can take college level amounts of studying to master." she said, then actually remembering how easy it was for her to learn. She started by awakening to magic abilities, and then furthered it through study. If everyone here was capable of using persona... (Eh, who am I convincing. Rugal isn't stupid. He'd be a much easier "student" than the idiot covered in blood over there.) she thought glancing to Deadshot. (Eh I guess I could give the whole teaching thing a shot.) She resolved.
"Though I guess if you really wanted to learn the basics... I'd let you take a look through my spellbook sometime."
[HEADING=3] fast forward to the office [/HEADING]
Slindis's bluntness came as a slightly lessened surprise than the others experienced. A surprise nonetheless. Slindis certainly wasn't the type to charge in without asking questions. Then again, being swarmed with shadows just a floor or two down... there really wasn't a point in negotiating anything. Deciding to let the others do what little talking could be left, she kept a tight grip on the sword at her hips.

[color=c200]"You know who we are, and you know why we're here. I don't take you for a fool, and to be honest I'm not having any of your formalities."[/color]
With Wanderer's Chainsaw at his neck, and Slindis making it clear that no nonsense was to be had, the businessman in the chair could see that there wasn't much point in trying to worm his way out of this one. With a savage grin appearing on his face, Kaishihara looked to the party, "Well then, I suppose there is no more point hiding it anymore. Still, wouldn't it have been great if you came all this way, only for me to point you in the wrong direction? I mean, come on, with what I've seen from you sorry sacks, you can barely make your way out of a paper bag without getting angry, crying, or getting one another killed!"
He snickered, and the lights in the room begin to flicker, creating the effect of the shadows cast to move and shift. Melethia and Kalastryn (seeing as they were on high alert about the room rather than it's occupant) noticed this small change in landscape for a moment, before Kaishihara called their attention again, "I mean, I've been keeping an eye on the whole lot of you ever since I noticed Philemon did SOMETHING to the borders of our little realm several weeks ago! (A point in time that Yu remembered hearing from Mitsuru and Fuuka about the visions in the first place) What he sees in all of you, I've no idea. None of you are special. You're a bunch of freaks who happened to get some form of power in one way or another. Be it through praying enough, pumping enough iron, messing with science, fucking a dragon, having enough guns to constitute a small armory, or whatever else; you gathered together and thought- had the audacity- to think any of you make a difference. The moment you drop dead, you'll be forgotten. Your efforts will be thought of as insubordination or arrogance. Your kind will destroy themselves, and I will sit here and laugh while you put yourselves under."
Ton Ton pointed his small knife at Kaishihara (despite sitting on Devon's shoulder) and demanded, [color=15690D]"How do you know so much? And what makes you think that you know everything about how people and the world works?"[/color]
Not minding the chainsaw at his throat, Kaishihara began shaking with more laughter, holding his sides as his honey colored eyes began to glow faintly in the gloom, a strange aura [http://imgur.com/oUUKDEU] beginning to manifest on the man's shoulders, "How do I know? Oh, isn't it obvious?"
Kaishihara's face began melting away, his body following short after, and reappeared as the ginger haired man from the beef bowl store[footnote]He was also on the scene when the shootout almost started in the candy store. He talked to Deadshot and Akane about seeing a grandmother[/footnote], sunglasses and hoodie bearing Walter o'Dim[footnote]From the flower store? he sniffed Rugal[/footnote], pudgey Nise Mono, and the Owner of Club Escapade. Between these shifts, each had one shared feature: A pair of honey colored eyes.
[color=B3B329]"I've been watching all of you this whole time. I am the whom has over 1000 avatars and faces, and through them, I could see your every move; and I watched with amusement.
As for how I know about your ilk? Why, I am the darkness in the soul, the incarnation of your desires for hatred and destruction. I know what each of you truly want. How do I know? Because I. AM. ALL. OF. YOU."[/color]
"Kaishihara"'s face shifted between each member of the party as he punctuated this, and the darkness covering him overcame him again, enveloping the "business man" and spreading to the floor and the walls of the room, the colors beginning to invert and change as the true nature of this complex was revealed, as the walls seemed to peel away and reveal a new landscape [http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/19400000/Near-dark-fantasy-19422824-1400-773.jpg].

The true mastermind arose [http://i.imgur.com/lI8rSev.jpg] from the ground, his black murk and mire sliding off his true form [http://imgur.com/24UzlY4] as he declared his nature: [color=B3B329]"I am Nyarlatothep, The Crawling Chaos. I know your desires. I know your hidden wants. Deep down, in all of you, is the desire for release. I will grant this wish by sending you to Nyx[footnote]The Avatar of Death itself in this series. Think of the Reaper from earlier as simply that: The Reaper.[/footnote] myself."[/color]
When the Crawling Chaos drew near, Yu saw a blue butterfly appear on his shoulder, and in the next instant, he felt himself in a familiar space [http://imgur.com/59kFuev].
We all know what to expect here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh3FgVv24-0]
Igor looked up from his seat and gave a smile to Yu,
"It's been some time, young man. You have come searching for another truth that seeks to disappear like smoke. Because of this, it would appear that The Wild Card calls to you again. Use it well."
With a wave of Igor's hand, two cards appeared before Yu:
and a voice entered his mind: "Thou art I, and I am thou...
From the sea of thy soul, I come...
From the very moment of my emergence, I have been a guiding light shed to illuminate thy path...
I am the original god...
Izanagi-no-Okami"
Before the vision of the Velvet Room faded away, Margaret gave her usual cold smile as well and added, "We'll be watching..."
*Yu has Access to the Wild Card again!*
*Yu feels the power of his Social Links again!*
*From the Depths of Yu's Soul, Izanagi-no-Okami has returned to him!*
As the room changed into some nightmarish, hellish landscape, Kala could have been confused that she already died. Seeing the monster in front of her, and her friends around her, ground that thought to dust. She wasn't going down easy. Whether out of theatrics or resolution, she spoke to "Nyarlatothep" "I know what it feels like to want to die. I desired it once, but no more. I've fought before, with the faint wish to have my opponent the victor. I can understand the appeal of casting this world's cares away. Then I learned that it's complete BULLSHIT to waste the life you have on wanting to get rid of it! If you even so much as think you know what I "really want" is to die, then you don't know me at all. You seem so high and mighty but if your anything like me, as you so claim, you wouldn't be such a damn zealot! If you were me, you'd have the humility I do, understanding that no matter what you do, the worst is going to happen. I'm okay with that now, my question is... ARE YOU?!" she said, taking the first move.
Kala summons Demi to cast lightning bolt!

Lost in Nightmares: Rising Dawn Crew Feat. Yu Narukami Vs. Nyarlatothep
Rugal
Needless to say, the idea that the one they had been searching for was right in front of them the whole time was rather infuriating to Rugal, seeing how he actually killed one of his incarnations. (Mr. Skin)
"If you truly know my desires, then surely you can see where this is going..." he boasted as he brought up his own Tarot card, shredding it to unleash his Persona once the room had distorted.
While his persona was making his usual entrance (I.E. Clawing though the floor), He went head first into the fight, vaulting over the remains of the table before leaping off it and Striking with a Ki powered fist.
David
"For once, can't the CEO guy just be that? A guy in a suit?!" David cringed as he realized that they were about to face the one forced Philemon's hand straight on.
This wasn't part of the plan! He thought it was just about stopping some loyalist or something, not some nightmarish freak of...SHIT! Alright calm down, we've killed Satan before...kinda...maybe...Yeah, I got this, I got this... He told himself as he looked at the dozens of faces before him that made up Nyarlatothep's form. After all, he's just-...Faces...and Faces...have Heads...Holy shit...
"...THIS IS HEADSHOT HEAVEN!" <3
With renewed glee, he pulled out his M500 as he took aim at the faces, quickly firing a shot at one and moving to another just as fast in hopes for getting as many as possible before he had to share with Apollo, Deadshot and [Null]
Jenny
While at first, Jenny was going to go back to her usual routine of waiting in the wings and passively supporting the crew in battle, but there was something about this villain said that seemed to spark something in her. "...A "Freak"?..." She repeated, letting out an exasperated sigh at that comment, granted she wasn't "Normal", being a Pokemon and all, but there was something about the way Nyarlatothep said that which rubbed her up the wrong way. "...Alright...I'm not one for violence...but...You just made it really easy for me..." She calmly said as Corvus was about to enter battle, only for Jenny to halt her and swipe her staff. "You'll pay for what happened to Jake..." She warned before rushing into battle, holding one hand to her head to send off Psychic blasts at the enemy.
Deadshot
"...told you we should have bombed it..." Deadshot mused as he watched the CEO they were about to rob ("That's what we were doing, right?") turned into something that looked like "The Persistence of Memory" crossed with millions of Guy Fawkes. "...Mmmm...I'm getting the fuck out of here. Good luck kids!" He said before looking for the nearest exit, he was being paid to find the source of the virus and deal with it, not fight Philemon's mortal enemy for him.
This was until [Null], his Persona was brought out and began pulling him back into the fray by the collar. "OH DUDE COME ON! I WAS GOING TO COVER THE EXITS! MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T CALL ANY MINIONS! HONEST!" He whined as his Persona opened fire, Ice shots impacting against the enemy while his master flailed behind him
Bill O'| Mr. President | Senator Armstrong | [color=00AD83]Dr. Insano[/color] | The Fox News Posse | [color=CC0000]SANTA CHRIST![/color]
Location: The O'Riley factor | FOX News.
Time: Morning
And so Santa Christ was taken away, not knowing his fate The President of the United States gave a respectful salute with a tear in his eye. Looking towards the Men in Purple, the Commander-in-Chief gave them a stern look, a look which was filled of a large sense of justice and disappointment. "I never expected anyone to shoot Santa Christ, not even someone like you guys. It ... it is just disappointing, I don't want to see you again. Take them away boys."
After The President spoke, the FOX News group was taken away. Some were silent, most were screaming, and Bill ... he was sputing the nonsense that usually came out of that gaping black hole of a shit mouth. With them gone, Mr. President turned to the rolling cameras, he could just feel the many eyes on him. "Men, women, boys, girls, and even the people who are in-between or wearing hotdog costumes. It is a grim day."
A sad look came from the viewers who viewed this. "One of the most jolliest and helpful people in the world was just shot. Not shot by anyone, but by FOX News and Senator Armstrong. People like this, people with no love or sense of homie-ness. They cannot be trusted, they will just backstab you or try to blow up a boat with you on it. That boat is America, and if you trust and vote for people like that, you will be on this exploding boat. But with me, I will make sure that boat does not explode, and even if it somehow does ... I will get them back." The President continued to speak, his charismatic voice speaking to the millions.
"So I would like to announce that this day will be now known as "SC Day" in the name of Santa Christ, and it will be a national holiday for all. No one will work, and everyone will be happy. Other then that, I also place Stephen Colbert in charge of FOX News so it may change it's ways. Stay safe and stay happy America, your home-by the President, out!" He said and gave the signal to cut, which Dr. Insano did.
Not only should that make the memory of Santa Christ not in vain, but it should also deliver a kick in the balls to his future competitors. Thinking about that, The President began to walk out back to his helicopter.
He had a date with a septic truck and a certain someone's house. And that someone should be very pissed off, hopefully stomping angrily on his cigar that almost set everything on fire.
Boss | Icarus | Barakiel.
Location: A Long Forgotten forest
Time: Afternoon
"I worry for him." Barakiel said in a concerned tone, his eyes gazing at the escaping Icarus. "While I cannot interfere too much, I hope people like you are there to comfort him and guide him onto a better future. It would be bad if those black wings become true to their meaning." Barakiel said, his face scowling back to the large forest that laid in front of them. Boss and the others in the helicopter would feel that the weather had become much more calmer in past couple of minutes.
"And here come the expected guests." He said to Boss, a better smile apperaring on his face. "Oh how I love meeting new mortals ... especially those who do not want to kill me, or those I don't have to kill." Barakiel said with a light chuckle. By now it would feel like this Archangel of Lightning would be a good character to act as Loki. The Archangel got up from the ledge to address the incoming helicopter.
[HEADING=2]"Welcome mortals! About time you showed up, sorry about the weather~!"[/HEADING]
His voice boomed and echoed, reaching the people in the helicopter especially. The Dragon quickly raised it's head in caution, it's head was high enough to level it's eyes with everyone in the helicopter and it was pretty close as well. Yet the figure standing up on the castle ledge swung his arm wide. "Stay." He softy said, yet his voice was heard by all. Reluctantly the giant Dragon lowered itself once again, not wanting to feel the pain it had felt many time before. It would rather be in the company of an Archangel then the Demon Princes of Hell, much better treatment that way.
"Well ... I bet they are here for Icarus. Hopefully they are also the ones to stop him from flying into the sun."
Rising Dawn Crew Feat: Yu Narukami and Mitsuru Vs. Nyarlatothep
Location: Lost in Nightmares.
Each insult, each word went by the Wanderer's ears. By the time he was laughing the chainsaw was removed from the throat, the man was not truly human, he did not fear that kind of death. Jumping backwards towards his comrades in arms, the Doctor witnessed the environment changing to darkness that gave a crawling feeling in his mind, as if he had been taken back to that Alien ship.
One thing did not surprise him, and that was the change of Kaishihara. "Pff, how cliché." The Wanderer said after the transformation. His mouth opened and with an angry scowl called, "My kind has almost destroyed themselves before, my armoury makes all the difference in that world though. BUT right now I'm going to call bullshit on you with everyone else!"
The muffled voice still called loud and true. With everyone else pulling out their weaponry and began firing, the Wanderer was about to fight himself, yet he managed to spot Yu who was just standing. Running over, he shook the boy's shoulders, no response. "Shit! Guys, we got a dazed here!" He yelled loudly, but the fighting seemed to distract most people. Sighing quickly, Wanderer stood in front of the original natural user and pull out his own weapon.
"I hope you like lasers ... because I'm going to fuck you with them!" A crazy smile called out.
Ah, lovely finale music. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASj81daun5Q]
"Kannon, lets give them a meal of justice!" The Wanderer yelled with passion, his voice calling out his Person which was summoned underneath him, carrying the user into the air. "More lasers! Ziodyne!"
The Persona fired an electrical attack (In the form of lasers) towards the big bad Nyarlatothep.
Yu Narukami.

Igor looked up from his seat and gave a smile to Yu,
"It's been some time, young man. You have come searching for another truth that seeks to disappear like smoke. Because of this, it would appear that The Wild Card calls to you again. Use it well."
With a wave of Igor's hand, two cards appeared before Yu:

Before the vision of the Velvet Room faded away, Margaret gave her usual cold smile as well and added, "We'll be watching..."
*Yu has Access to the Wild Card again!*
*Yu feels the power of his Social Links again!*
*From the Depths of Yu's Soul, Izanagi-no-Okami has returned to him!*
Giving a courteous bow to the two,
Yu's mind turned to white as he was returned to the real world.
The final horror was in front of him.
In a place of darkness which had become a thread to them all.
Yet Yu did not move, not out of fear but out of determination. Gaining all his social links was like a flood of memories.
He had remembered why he was here, he was fighting, not for himself and not just for the world. Yu Narukami was fighting for his friends, his town, his love. To protect all that was dear to him. "Hmph." Yu huffed to himself with a smile. "Sometimes I'm the dumb one." He said quietly to himself, collecting the memories that were the most import to him.
How it all began. [http://gematsu.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/P4A-Story-Footage.jpg]
How it became. [http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111028172609/megamitensei/images/e/ee/Persona_4_investigation_team_2.jpg]

and
How it is now. [http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121008140102/megamitensei/images/4/46/Yu_character_artwork.jpg]
The surge of power came to Yu. All of his Personas came back to him. The Wild Card came back to him. Placing his sword to his side, he thrust his hand out. "Michael!" Yu yelled, the first Persona of Judgement was summoned.
Persona finale music. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMTbyG5zoyE]
"Heaven's Blade." Yu called and Michael suddenly moved towards the enemy, dodging by Kannon and pointing the spear right in front of him for an attack.
Vanessa blinked twice as Selena's warning came out over the airwaves and into the transmitter she had in her ears. [color=666666] A dragon....? Those things exist here...? This is crazy... [/color] Just as she sighed, she noticed a pair of rather large and obviously reptilian eyes appearing out of the blue, staring her and the rest of the helicopter group down. She froze up almost instantly and her eyes widened immensely as she stared back, mouth slightly agape, sweat dripping and fighting with all her might to not wet herself right then and there. [color=666666] ...Well, shit. Guess I should just assume candy people then... This is way too much to wrap my head around, provided this thing doesn't just roast us like in the fairy tales...[/color]
Giving her a slight bit of relief, a loud, booming voice came loud and clear to her and the others on the chopper. It seems whoever was there was waiting for them and they had control of the dragon as it lowered its head on command. She sighed before looking outside and seeing what looked to be a lone figure, with massive black wings, on a castle ledge in the direction where the voice had come from. However, the castle seemed to be composed solely of black clouds. Vanessa blinked blankly before burying her face into her palm. Even with the dragon making her open, a cloud castle was a bit too much. Her mind just kept flooding itself with more and more questions [color=666666] ...I can't even tell if this real life or if it's just fantasy... [/color]
Seeing that the helicopter was somewhat close, the woman didn't feel like waiting, wanting her questions answered asap. She hopped out of the open side of the helicopter with no parachute, much to the dismay of the pilots. Two flashes of blue light almost instantly manifested themselves just behind the falling woman's back before suddenly taking the form of an odd set of wings [http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img577/3682/o5mu.jpg]. The wings lit up and hummed as the woman suddenly shot forward in the air and after a moment or two, slowed to a stop over the castle roof. If unfettered, she'd land on the roof, slowly drifting onto it. Seeing the Archangel standing before her, she seemed even more flustered. Not knowing where to start, she simply bowed toward the winged demi-god in front of her. [color=666666] "Hi... Um... Sorry if this seems odd, but wh-what are you... and how are we not plummeting to our deaths right now?" [/color]
"LADY JUST JUMPED OUT OF HELO!" Biertov shouted. "AND THEN SPROUTED WINGS!"
"We know." Billy said. "It happened not two seconds ago, we were right here, and we saw it."
"BUT IT WAS INSANE!" Biertov shouted. "THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN IN RUSSIA!"
Billy smacked Biertov in the back of the head. "Stop it."
Edge said nothing, and continued to look out the window. Biertov tapped Edge on the shoulder. "You are nervous, friend?"
"No." Edge said. "I don't get nervous."
"Bah. Is nonsense." Biertov said. "You are worried about your friend. Is natural. Nothing to be ashamed of. If anything were to happen to Nicoli, I would go all the Rambo on whoever did the thing on him. It would be very not pretty."
"HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS!" the pilot shouted. "WE'RE LANDING!"
Age: 130,000 years old.
Race: Pure Archangel.
Origin: God.
Title: The True Archangel of Lightning, One of the Seven Original Archangels and Lord of the Blackhawke (His Army's capital ship).
Class: Admin Character/Reoccurring.
color:
Clothing & Appearance: In photo.
Backstory:
Barakiel's name means "God's blessing." He is an ancient angel, more than 130,000 years old, and considered to be one of God's mightiest angels.
According to The Almadel of Solomon, a 17thC book purportedly written by King Solomon, Barakiel is in charge of people's attitude and protects innocents. Barakiel hunts evil, has domain over lighting, and rules the month of February. He is a ruler of the seraphim, which are divine creatures associated with cherubim. Cherubim are the winged creatures, or guardian spirits, who protected the Garden of Eden.
Barakiel assists people in having a positive outlook and in experiencing good fortune.
Barakiel is said to have a sense of humour and inspires laughter and joy. It's said that as he walks in is favourite place, the prayers of people appear on trunks of the trees around him. And he always answers the prayers offered with an open heart and a willing spirit.
AA Backstory: Barakiel combined with Tomoya Okazaki's soul a long time ago when he first grabbed hold of The Stone of Light. The one vessel helped everyone for years to come until a Shadow Demon came along whom enhanced Tomoya's dark side to corrupt the Archangel side and eventually became Dark Tomoya.
In his spare time he likes to hunt down evil and visit Earth.
He is also the Commander of Heaven's Intelligence.
Looking from the castle's ledge, Barakiel awaited the guests to arrive. Yet to his own surprise, it gained his attention when one of the passengers from the helicopter jumped out, with a pair of wings no less. "Hmm ... well I haven't seen that for a while." He said to himself, addressing his former memories of when mortals tried to replicate his kind's wings. It brought back many, many lifetimes worth of memories, summoning a cheeky grin on the Archangel's face.
Once the 'winged' female arrived in front of him, Barakiel could not help himself but examine Vanessa for a good second. His eyes darting around in a quicker than mortal fashion, yet the bright blue glow coming from his eyes partly disguised it. "I am Barakiel. The Archangel of Lightning, one of Heaven's Original Seven Archangels." Barakiel said with a proud bow, before he did not have any wings on him. Yet when the Archangel bowed, electricity swarmed to him and created large white angel wings with a blue aura to them.
It looked strange, he was wearing clothes and yet it seemed that the wings were coming out from his coat. "As with this place, probably magic. Your new to this world, no? Don't worry about it, many others adjust themselves in a matter of time ... and about my dragon, don't worry about him, I've trained him well and he wouldn't dare to attack ... being sent back to Hell wouldn't aid him." The Archangel said with a light chuckle.
"Your group ... it is here for the young one? Good ... good." He said slowly, gazing over at the forest in the distance as if he was looking forward in the world or even in time. Quickly adjusting his gaze to the helicopter a small distance away, it looked like the helicopter was going to land weirdly. "Man ... and I slowed the weather." He muttered before raising his hand and opening his palm, electricity suddenly surrounded the helicopter, stopping it in mid-air. With a small pull of his hand, the helicopter floated to the small yet acceptable size balcony, landing and the visible blue electricity moving away.
With everyone else out and Kazuya still not back yet, Violet took to overseeing the lockdown of Darkside's remains, watching the proceedings while G-Corp soldiers secured the bodybag in a Cyropod. "Alright, Set the Danger Level to "Minor", Even if he does somehow regenerate, He'll be a Popsicle." He ordered as his men nodded, checking his PDA for messages as he did. Jeez, what's taking Kaz so long? He should have been back by now... He thought, it wasn't like his boss to be late.
Still, once the operation was finished, he and the rest of the soldiers left the Underground Vault with Darkside's remains now on ice and left for the Researchers to look at.
If they could get anything of value from the Alien, they could easily recoup the losses they gained from trying to defeat him.
[color=9F2B68]Kazuya[/color]
Location: Ocean Island
Time: Morning
Kazuya meanwhile was doing his best to go though his equipment or what was left of it after his failed assassination attempt, something that was rather hard with being able to only move 1 arm, nevermind the fact he most likely had internal bleeding and a few broken bones..
Still, once he made himself a sort of sling for his arm from the harnesses on his Merc Uniform, he pulled up his own PDA and began to send out a message.
[color=9F2B68]"Kazuya...to HQ...Send an Transport to my location...Track the source of this signal...Do this or you'll are...fired..."[/color] He said before hitting send, flopping back onto the sand after he was done, tried from the effort.
The second he got back to Tokyo, heads were going to roll...
Colorado State Senator Steven Armstrong
Location: Limo leaving Denver
Time: Afternoon
After he had left the interview at Fox News, Armstrong began making his way out of the city towards a GOP fundraiser or as he liked to call it "Easy Money".
As he was leaving the city though, he tuned in the built in TV to the news station once more to see the aftermath, watching what could only be described as-
"-The dumbest thing I have ever seen on National Television since Duck Dynasty. He thinks he can pin this on *ME*?! The fucking UN can't touch me and he expects to convict me of a murder that occurred in another state and by other people? Who the hell is Santa Christ anyway? I never heard of him before now..." He said as he watched the President's plea for support.
"...Hey, what's the Stock Price for Fox News like? They were already in the Republican Pocket, might as well make it officia-WHOA-" He asked before his Limo suddenly swerved as another limo cut them off at the Intersection.
[color=6c1504]M. Bison Congressman Vincent Vega[/color] | Bruiser
Location: Other Limo leaving Denver
Time: Afternoon
[color=6c1504]"DAMMIT BRUISER! I TOLD YOU! RED MEANS STOP!"[/color] Biso-....Sorry, "Vincent Vega", shouted at his Machoke driver as he was still getting used to the rules of the road. "Hey, you said get you there before the other guy, that's what I doing. So quit your bitching. Bad enough you got me in this fruity get up anyway..." his chauffeur snapped back as he pulled into the bus lane, wondering why no one else was using that row of traffic.
[color=6c1504]"Fine, Fine...Ah well, that mess in LA should play well at this gig."[/color] "Yeah, I remember hearing about it on the news, Max, Doom and Inuart okay?"
[color=6c1504]"Yeah, Cortex was talking to them earlier, it was just the Business district that was hit, Most they'll have to deal with is the traffic. Still, nice excuse to increase military spending, one step closer to rebuilding my empire..."[/color] "Ohhhhhh Yeah that reminds me. Wesker called, he'll need more time to rebuild the Psycho Drive, another Teleporter Mishap at Black Mesa he said."
[color=6c1504]"That's alright, The President is stonewalling us on ODIN anyway. Still, with the amount of noise Armstrong is making, I'm sure he'll crack."[/color] "Ick, still don't like that guy. I mean, you ARE aware he'll murder you the second he gets into office, right?"
[color=6c1504]"...Well, yeah, it's what I'd do. Don't worry about him, once the crowd gets going my way, he'll fall like the rest of them."[/color] "Alright, Just I'm a major Scumbag so I know a Scumbag when I see one. And that guy? Tch, fucker would shank his own father."
[color=6c1504]"And? I killed my father too and you don't me bragging about it..."[/color] "...Ey, didn't you just do that?..."
[color=6c1504]"...Just focus on the damn road..."[/color]
A sharply dressed figure reclines on a nondescript chair outside of a completely unremarkable bistro - the japaese cityscape sprawling before, behind and around like a metallic jungle...familiar and yet entirely different from the landscapes he was used to. Speaking to the mobile resting on the table before him, he sips on the drink in his hand and pondered things a moment from behind dark tinted shades.
" So the deals good over there? Sweet - I'd like to say I'll be there next monday, but...kinda tied up with things and stuff. "
He chuckles briefly. "Yeah, you know, the whole 'business trip and not-really-a-vacation vacation! "
Things for Stark-Innovations Jap Division were going okay, and he was close to sealing the deal on new branding for phones and laptops not yet unveiled to the public...consumer markets always felt like a slow laborious process, compared to the more 'dynamic' world of weapons creation that he'd been brought up around, in and to inherit. Still, on a day like today, he could unwind and take time to appreciate the lay of the land - despite reports of odd occurances around the city, mostly from unchecked and unknown sources to local channels and whatnot, he felt relatively confident that he had everything in the bag for this little working vacation - sure, he'd packed an 'extra case' along just to make sure he could handle anything that might crop up over time, but it wasn't exactly like he'd made that a priority. he wasn't likely to encounter anything needing it over here, not a chance!
The phone call still required attention, so he continued...tapping the table with a knuckle as he listened to somebody he couldn't remember the name of talk about the benefits of grasping more of the Japanese market and ensuring that StarkTech was properly branded and recognised within the projected period of time before the next StarkExpo...he hated too much business in one day, and what he really wanted was a distraction.
" Yup...uhuh, I understand entirely. " Bold faced lie. #876 of the day " Don't worry, I got this...thanks for the dictionary, by the way, totally came in useful at check-in. Look, I think I'm gonna go grab something to eat that isn't mostly uncooked fish, take a shower an' then see where the world lies for me this evening. Peppers the one to talk to if you really...no, I'm not foisting anything off, cut me some slack here-...look, I think the lines breaking up a little, I'll call you when I reach the hotel - good luck during the board meeting! "
With a quick unceremonious hangup and breath of relief, Tony Stark places the now-quietened device into a pocket and finished his americano - pocketing the green tea kitkat he'd gotten from the machine around the corner as something to munch later. Now that he was free to explore the big wide world, he figured he'd head back to where he'd parked the car and get himself skidaddled to a much better place, one that wasn't some small american-styled diner in the middle of modern Japan...he needed to get lost into the heart of the city and find a much better watering hole!
[spoiler ooc]Hopefully that all worked out fine and isn't in anyway a complete derp of a start! XD
Obviously, PM me if something is off, I can probably repair it easily enough if required! [/spoiler]
Welcome to AA, First off, Nice post and nice job getting into character
We have a Group that we talk and discuss OOC in so just sign up and we'll start bringing you up to speed
"Alright, talk to me. How are we doing?" Kenneth Black asked his personal assistant. "The public teleportation project is nearly done with about half of the hubs are operational with the rest soon to follow. The puppet CEO is getting on everybody's good side by donating to various charities and being normal. Hargreave's people tell me that his project has only a couple months left and are doubling security. Dr. Ashford arrived and is already starting work on that super soldier serum with minimal complaints. Other than that everything is running normally," she told him. "Good job. Double the security on the teleportation hubs, my ego got the better of me. Tell Hargreave that he should make so that his little "toy" only responds to his input if he hasn't done so already. Other than that give yourself a pay raise, double what it is now. For now I need a nap," Ken said as he headed to his personal quarters.
Selena soon arrived
"Its definitely a spell making these clouds solid, and I suspect Icarus may have been in need of a shelter. She looked around.
"where did he go?"
Boss pointed down the stairs
"Are you sure he's a little unstable" he said the memory of being flung to the castle floor,
"I think I can handle him, sure he may be unstable but he's still a teenage boy" she then went down to find Icarus
"Icarus are you down here" she could hear the sounds of someone, as she got closer she soon found Icarus his face was pale but had a red tinge on his cheeks
"Oh hi selena, are you really there or AM I just seeing hings he clumisly reached out to touch her she backed away,
"what the? she then saw an empty bottle beside him she rolled her eyes
"he's drunk of course he is," she helped his get up putting his arm around her shoulder and hlding him by the waist
"lets get you up, and out of here.
"Out of here but I made this place for me."
"I umm got a better place" she worriedly headed upstairs but the half angel was heavy and she slipped
"we need to clean you up first." she had Icarus sit up and found a potion it would taste awful but it flushed one of certain poisons including alcohol. Icarus slowly drank it and shuddered Selena helped him stand. they then walk out.
"so who all decided to join the party?" he said strolling out his cloak trailing behind him.
Kaishihara Pharmaceutical: Top Floor: Kaishihara's Office

Devon
Devon heard the speech and sighed as she looked to Ton-Ton, then the corrupted manager. [color=00c863]"You know, a year or two ago I would have been shaken to the core. I would have been stuck on the ground curled up in a ball by that. Thing is, I'm not that person. I'm not afraid of death now, but it does not mean I long for it. And even if you claim we're not special, we certainly had enough to get to you."[/color]
Devon then drew her blade as she pulled her Persona card out to summon Mengde [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130501043805/dynastywarriors/images/thumb/a/ab/Cao_Cao_DW1_Costume_(DW8_DLC).jpg/500px-Cao_Cao_DW1_Costume_(DW8_DLC).jpg], chanting a few songs in Rapid Succession to bolster the group and improve their morale.
[color=00c863]"In any case, we're about to clear that appointment book. Think of it as a favor for all the things you showed us these last few days."[/color]
Code:
Devon used Inspire Courage and Ironskin Chant to increase the damage and defense of the group while making them les susceptible to fear!
Ella
At that same time, Ella simply drew out her spear as she impishly smirked. "You know, if you're us, then you have our desires magnified thousandfold. And you know what? I think we should grant you that release first. Anything else would be selfish, and I'm a giver."
The moment Devon's songs kicked in, she Evoked Ishtar [http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii216/thefullmetalshinigami/Persona%203/Personas/Persona%204%20Personas/06-Lovers/Ishtar.png] to cast a secondary blast of lightning, although it was intentionally aimed to the side to limit the amount of area he could evade to safely. In the same motion, she worked with Teri in a two-pronged attack.
Melethia
Mel chuckled as she looked to David, showing that she wasn't too fazed by Nyar's words. "If it were some dude in a suit, then it'd be too easy. Besides, as you said, this is just Target Practice. How about the person that gets the most eyeshots gets some lessons from the other?"
She summoned Andras [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080803014833/megamitensei/images/thumb/9/95/AndrasSMT.jpg/283px-AndrasSMT.jpg] by crushing a card, and the Persona responded by creating a small green barrier on the bow. When she loosed the arrows, they'd have a small coating of poison that would hopefully increase the damage a bit. However, the majority of her arrows landed in the mouths of the masks or the masks themselves if they hit, with only a small fraction actually getting in the eyes.
Slindis
Slindis didn't even hesitate to evoke Joanne [http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/291/8/8/dissidia__white_mage_of_light_by_isaiahjordan-d5huls9.png] as she leapt into the fray, with her Persona touching her fists to imbue them with a radiant energy as she crossed up alongside Rugal. [color=c200]"Been too long since we fought alongside each other for something this serious, Rugal. We really should do it a little bit more. Now sound good?"[/color] Her blows would be in sync with the hulking King of Fighters, showing that her general combat training was an equal match for Rugal's mastery with the ways of the fist. More importantly, she aimed to keep space for Kannon's Shocks and Michael's Slashes to get through.
Code:
Joanne has imbued Slin's fists with Divine Might, giving her an added damage boost!
As Barakiel looked the woman over, she seemed not to notice his eyes darting which way and that, mainly due to the fact she was still looking around the castle cautiously. [color=666666] This can't be stable.... [/color] The glowing wings that seemed to sprout from her back disappeared as soon as the Archangel bowed toward the woman, a flash of blue the only hint the attachments were there to begin with.
She bowed in turn as Barakiel introduced himself. The relevance of Barakiel's position was partially lost on her, but she got the idea that she was speaking to someone above her, both in standing and power and spoke as such, her voice a bit meek. [color=666666] "Nice to meet you... I'm Vanessa. And yes... all of this..." [/color] She extended her hands to indicate the entire scene. [color=666666] "...is a lot to take in when I've been used to in a day... I'm just about willing to believe anything now...." [/color] She said with a sigh, idly rubbing the side of her temple as the helicopter was more or less shoved into a landing. [color=666666] "Improve on what...? Landing on cloud castles isn't really covered in a pilot manual, I'd think." [/color] Vanessa replied dryly as she watched Selina move after Icarus and return with a cloaked and winged man behind her. [color=666666] Well.... It looks like we can just leave it to her then.... [/color]
As the day went on, Violet kept worrying about his boss Kazuya, mostly because he if was in trouble, he would most likely chew Violet out the second he got back in the door.
As he was looking over a few tests with the remains of Darkside, he noticed a transport chopper nearing the Helipad, filling him with Dread if it was Kazuya who was on it. "Alright...Act normal. You didn't do anything wrong, place isn't on fire, it'll be alr-"
[color=9F2B68][HEADING=1]"VIOLET!"[/HEADING][/color]
The next thing he knew, the door to his lab was violently kicked down by a bandage clad Kazuya, most likely having reopened most of his wounds in the process. "Whoa! Kaz, What happened!? Are you-"
[color=9F2B68]"Black. Industries. EVERYTHING. On them."[/color] "....wha-"
[color=9F2B68]"Names, Addresses, Contracts, Locations, Bank Information, EVERYTHING!"[/color] He then roared at Violet as he limped though the lab towards his office, no doubt to cool off after his loss to Kenneth Black. "....ummm...It'll be on your desk-"
[color=9F2B68]"GOOD!"[/color] The CEO said before went into his office and locked the door behind him.
[color=9F2B68]Ohhhh...I'm going to make him rule the day he crossed me....[/color] Kazuya thought as he began to plot his enemies's downfall, but first.
[color=9F2B68]"Kuma! Mokujin!...Who wants Ice Cream?"[/color] He then asked as he began to unwind after the days events...
"Sir, our intelligence gathering division has informed me that someone is digging into Black Industries' records. Our counterintelligence division is currently going over everything with a fine tooth comb to make sure we aren't connected to it in any way. Other than that everything is running smoothly. Our robotics division has made progress in getting their robots to walk like a human. They project that it will be combat ready in about one month," Ken's assistant told him.
"Good. Tell the CEO that the teleportation hubs that are finished are to be opened up to the public. After that tell him to destroy his burner phone completely. We'll provide a new one once this blows over. Make sure to destroy our's as well for good measure. Set up a front for the robotics division so we can start making money from it as soon as possible. That will be all for now," Ken said before he went back to reviewing his various plans.
"BOSS!" Edge shouted, storming out of the helicopter. "WHERE ARE YOU?"
"Over here." Boss said, waving. "What are you so exitec-"
Edge teleported to where Boss was standing and grabbed him by his vest. "WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?"
Boss was taken aback. "...Rob's? He sent me here about an hour ago. Are...are you OK?"
Edge took a deep breath and let go of Boss. Of course. Edge though. I was going in the wrong direction the whole time.. "I'm fine." Edge said. "I was just...worried."
"I KNEW IT!" Biertov shouted as he stepped off the helo. "I KNEW IT WHOLE TIME! I HAVE WITNESS, TOO! GOOD FRIEND BILLY, TAKE MY BACK."
Billy looked at Biertov and shook his head. "I have no idea what this man is talking about. I ain't even sure we speak the same language."
"You are terrible friend." Biertov said. "Much less funny than Nicoli."
Edge looked around. Icarus was right over there with Selena. Vannessa was talking to...was that Tomoya? It looked like Tomoya, but...no, it just looked like Tomoya. Edge took mental note, and walked over to the copter. "If you're going to G-Corp, pile back in."
"Or I could just teleport everyone back to wherever you were." Boss said. "'cause I can totally do that. And the chopper over there."
"No." Edge said.
Boss scoffed. "Who votes for teleporting!" Edge and Biertov raised their hands.
After he managed to get the report on Kenneth's dealings, Kazuya was soon back on his feel, albeit in crutches as he raced back into Violet's lab, much of the unwinding and relaxing he tried to partake in being undone once he shouted:
[color=9F2B68]"That Bastard has all the damn Teleportation hubs online already! How the hell did he get them activated without me knowing about it!?"[/color]
Violet gluped as he tried to say "...But, don't you do know about it-"
[color=9F2B68]"Don't back talk me! I'm not letting that mass murdering prick make trillions on teleportation technology just so he can wipe out entire countries in his free time!"[/color] The Demon CEO snapped back as he planted himself down on one of the chairs in the lab before holding his head, trying to think of a way to get back at that bastard.
[color=9F2B68]"...Alright, can get track down the teleportation signals from each of his Hubs?"[/color] "Yeah, sure. With the amount of traffic he's hoping to get, It'd be impossible not to. Why?"
[color=9F2B68]"So we can trace the movements of everything that's transported, right? Good, I got an idea. First off, I need to contact Kenneth somehow."[/color] "What? So you can warn him?"
[color=9F2B68]"No, so I can accept his surrender. Now get me a direct line. And get the troops mobilized."[/color]
