Kenshiro's Rest


~ @Crowvette, @Restalaan (SKA & GRI), @AzureKnight (HIN & ATS) ~


"All of you, gonna join fight? Then you follow Underboss Takeshi, or Shizuka. Or I crack yer 'eads in. If not, then do whatever you want."
Gringor


"Fufu, we'll help in our own way, Sir..." The Raiju responded coyly at first, before her eyes narrowed as she realized just exactly what Gringor was. "Wait, you are a monster... but also a--"

The Raiju was interrupted when the better part of the taskforce intervened to defend Dinah from the upset Takeshi. The stress soon got to the fused mycelium yokai, which prompted her to dash away in search for peace in multiple meanings of the term.

"Right, anyone wants to explain further on who's Dinah? She's like...a twin of Alice or something? You said something about merging and ripping eyes out-?"
Skarsneek


"Okay! So! Dinah is Alice and Carroll when they do a…a thing…and…become one person, somehow. And she’s really cool and fast, and we fought, and she was like ‘wunanunanuna’ and I was like “kapow, blam, zoom,’ but she’s still waaaaaay faster than me, so, so, and then, she’s scared of fire, so she freaked out from the lightning during the battle, and was scared, and got scared that we were gonna die and was running to get us out of there, but I told her we were gonna fight, and she got her feelings hurt, but she came back and used her party to heal everyone during the fight, but I think people calling her Alice upset her because she’s her own person, so I gotta go!”"
Liliana


Takeshi Oja wanted to respond, mostly with questions, but about half of the taskforce went after Dinah after Liliana's brief explanation. Well, at least that cleared one detail for the young lord regarding Alice and Caroll. "Whatever am I gonna do with these yokai?" He released a very tired sigh.

"Uhh... Is everything alright with the taskforce, milord?" The Raiju, who only watched the scene unfold dumbfounded, was compelled to ask.

The young lord pinched the bridge of his nose, attempting to form a suitable explanation but could not come up with any. "It's... complicated, I suppose." He replied to the Raiju yokai present. "My gratitude, by the way. Even though such words would earn me execution had our circumstances been normal. At any rate, I think we should part ways for now. Farewell."

"Let's go, everyone. We're finished here." Takeshi took his leave, heading through the crack in the mountain wall, but the taskforce members would hear a bit of the Raijus gossip as they left.

"Aww, man. I wanted at least one of them to introduce me to that azure swordsman guy."



Shizuyama Wilderness


~ @Crowvette, @Restalaan (SKA & GRI), @AzureKnight (HIN & ATS) ~


Takeshi's half of the taskforce traveled peacefully through Onrai's countryside. Smoke pillars rose in the horizon, but there was nothing much the group could do about it. Still, it pained the young lord that their fight was far from over. Looking for a distraction, he had the taskforce to converse with... even though they were his and his ancestors' sworn enemies for hundreds of years. War truly made for strange bedfellows.

"I believe this is the first time we've all fought together, haven't we?" Takeshi began. "It could've gone better... but the others were right, it could've gone worse. Way worse." Approaching Io, the young lord's mischievous side showed when he decided to ruffle her hair. "I guess a second death would be quite troublesome, don't you think?"

Being alone with the young lord, the taskforce members present were afforded an opportunity to ask any questions they want from the island's royalty... Or notify him of any future plans.



Terauchi Temple


~ @AzureKnight (SHI), @Enkryption (ALI & CRL), @The Irish Tree (EUL & LIL), @Rezod92 ~


Shizuka and Dinah carried their dozing teammates back to Terauchi Temple without further incident. They reached their temple base first, having already traveled a bit ahead of Takeshi and the others. The refugees in their way immediately recognized them and bowed lightly in respect and gratitude.

Oddly, however, there seemed to be less people in the temple than when they left. In fact, most of the warriors guarding the area were gone. Inquiries should probably be made about that.

Revuel was the first to actually greet the arriving taskforce. "You've returned." The former Warlock was not sure if he recognized Dinah, but definitely Shizuka. The former was also carrying asleep taskforce members so she was probably with them. "Looks like it was quite the quest with some of you knocked out." He remarked. "Your quarters are fully prepared. Take some rest, you all."

Gazing at the sleeping Kerry, Revuel became pensive. "Any... developments regarding the Madam Kerry's pregnancy?"

Iskah noticed too late the incoming magic orbs heading towards her. She closed her eyes and braced for impact, only for the orbs to never hit. Upon opening her eyes, she saw that the pink orbs were now gone and there was faint dome surrounding her. Even moving with her as she traversed the rooftops of sleepy Ortus. It was no mystery to Iskah on who casted this protective barrier. "Thanks, Vanessa!" She yelled as she continued on towards Aun and Katelyn, unimpeded.

The Cupid spotted the lightning bolt aimed at her, and made no attempt to evade. Instead, the angel covered herself with her pinkish-white wings. It was enough to block the weak bolt. "Hmph. So the Doppelganger Lizardman has an ally herself." The Cupid smirked, now knowing that this catfight between two reptilian monsters involved more parties than themselves. "Let's see you handle this!"

The Eros divinity fired two arrows, neither was aimed at Vanessa much less Iskah. The two arrows embedded themselves in two opposite roofs. Their tail ends then glowed and glowing pink lines emerged which then struck out very quickly towards Vanessa on a broom. The Dark Mage would know that these were some sort of magical ensnaring whips. Harmless, of course, but if Vanessa was impeded now then she would be unable to provide further support to Iskah.

Meanwhile, Vanessa also saw Katelyn tackle Aun near the end of the rooftop that lead to a square. However, Iskah also tackled them and they all fell to the waters of an unfortunate Ortusian fountain of very basic design.

Kerry's spear reached the Iron Grinder in barely a second, and it was followed closely by a charged shot from Eula's palm. The spear hit the arm that held Liliana, releasing the captured Fairy while the energy shot punched through the armor and sent the Iron Grinder flying into the mud.

But the muddied Iron Grinder rose again despite his punctured armor, the tenacity of a legionnaire exemplified. He still had his sword and--

*BOOM*

A large bolt of lightning struck the legionnaire directly. Electrified and fried, but somehow still alive, the Iron Grinder finally dropped unconscious back into the mud. His armor was singed and with the damage taken from the taskforce's attacks, probably unusable unless repaired. The taskforce's fight was done, now only Takeshi's--

*BOOM*

Tetsuo Okinaga fell from the second level, rolling down the slope with his clothes also singed and burnt. The taskforce could still sense his weak Spirit Energy, indicating he was still alive. Takeshi Oja, his sword sheathed, slid down the slope to rejoin the taskforce. "Is it just me, or is this foul weather rather... fond of us?" He loudly wondered about the seemingly-coincidental-but-helpful lightning strikes during the battle.

Another bolt of lightning struck the ground near the gathered taskforce, but the strike seemed... gentle. The lightning was bright and momentary, as all bolts were, but something appeared after this one.

"Hiiii~!" A group of four fair-skinned, beautiful women in blue, loose kimonos appeared. They had deep blue hair that ended in a light blue color, long enough to reach their waists. They were Raijus, monsters of thunder and lightning who were native and exclusive to Zipangu. "First of all, I wanna apologize for not directly aiding you all in combat. The students of the Heavenly Strike technique are very familiar with us, so they'd know how to deal with us if they were sure we were here."

"And secondly..." The Raiju group all bowed in unison, a rather formal expression for a race known to be wild and rowdy. "We'd like to thank you for dealing with the students. It was... bloodier than we'd like, but we'll take it." The Raiju spokesperson then explained. "You see, while the Heavenly Strike technique drove our ancestors from this island, we were raised to respect that technique and hold it sacred. Thus, we could not sit idly by while the students of the technique dishonor the move by slaughtering the very people the technique was invented to protect."

"But we could not intervene directly. Students of the Heavenly Strike are especially trained against Raijus. It would have ended badly, even if we survived." The Raiju continued. "Fortunately, a ragtag taskforce with their cute and handsome sponsor were around and were more than enough to take back the technique from the wicked!"

While the Raiju group expressed their gratitude to the taskforce, Dinah at the back was approached by a serious Takeshi. "Alice." He greeted her before crossing his arms, only aware and familiar with one of the identities. "While I appreciate you and the others coming back to help us win the day, your sudden retreat has left many of us in peril." His voice was stern, and unamused. "I'd, at least, like an explanation."

THE HEAVENLY STRIKE

The sudden appearance of a herd of cows took everyone by surprise. A choir of moos and the thunder of hooves distracted even the warriors harassing the Hangai sisters, completely stopping any more attacks.

The stampede, enhanced by Kerry's spell, threw the enemy forces into complete disarray. Lightning continued to strike as the enemy panicked, making them vulnerable to the taskforce members' attacks. A logical weakness of the students' legendary technique was also found so within minutes, all the technique students and Iron Grinders have fallen to either the stampede or have been picked off by the taskforce. Kenshiro's Rest have also become the resting place of other, more wicked warriors.

The Iron Grinder leader held firm under Gringor's axe assault. His limp made it hard to find an opening for a counterattack, but he patiently waited. He also noticed that he was practically alone now, with no casualties amongst the taskforce. That momentary distraction prevented him from focusing on his fight with Gringor and he was unable to predict nor react to the male High Orc shoulder tackling him.

The legionnaire was sent to the ground and before he could respond, Gringor swatted away his shield and delivered a nasty punch to his face. The hit almost broke his mask but the Iron Grinder wasn't done yet. Letting go of his arms, he grabbed Gringor's face for a punch to the face of his own. The swing knocked the male High Orc off of him, but this fight wad done. The Iron Grinder was looking for a way out now.

Spotting Liliana riding forth towards the second level to Takeshi's aid, the Iron Grinder also saw opportunity. He surged forward before his High Orc opponent got any more funny ideas, picking up his sword as he did. The legionnaire stood in front of Liliana and her mount's path before unleashing a powerful slash, slicing off one of the cow's frontal legs and sending the beast barreling down the muddy soil. Alive, but not for much longer.

Liliana was also sent into the mud before immediately being picked by the Iron Grinder. His iron grip was tight, but only enough that she could not escape through physical force. The legionnaire then presented the captured warrior Fairy to the rest of the taskforce, his other hand grasping his sword. "Stand down, you mongrels! Stand down or this little sprite gets it!" He threatened the Fairy's allies.

This was the last enemy the taskforce needed to deal with, but they must approach with caution. The Varjan legionnaire was cornered and outnumbered. Desperation and spite was his name of the game.

"There you go, sweetness. Now, go, I'll follow and lend you support."
Vanessa


Iskah watched as the golden glow jumped from Vanessa's hand and into herself. Her body felt light and powerful, catching up to Aun and Katelyn felt like it would be a piece of cake. And it was when Iskah launched high into the air with but one leap. "Thanks Vanessa!" The Lizardman yelled as she landed on one of the roofs of the cityscape. Now seeing the chase clearly, Iskah took off with incredible speed and almost instantly catching up to the chase.

Vanessa followed behind Iskah, sitting on her flying staff like a classic witch. The two lizard monsters plus Aun bantered as they each chased the other across the rooftops of the sleeping capital.

"Guys, it's literally midnight! I'm getting deployed tomorrow!" The Incubus Knight cried out.

"All the more reason to catch you now, Aun!" Katelyn replied, undeterred.

"Leave him alone, Katelyn!" It was Iskah's turn to speak. "I've already fought him and lost!"

"So? What's that got to do with me and my feelings for him?" The Salamander responded. "Little help here?!"

The last sentence was actually a call for help. As if from nowhere, a pink, winged figure joined the chase. On a closer look, Vanessa recognized this figure as the Cupid from earlier this day. The one who left on a tantrum from a human crowd. Who would have guessed she was actually part of Katelyn's team?

The Cupid did not seem to notice Vanessa, as she nocked an arrow into her bow and shot it at Iskah. But the arrow was magical, as it split into three pink orbs of magic. They were most probably harmless, much less lethal, but they looked like they would definitely impede Vanessa's Lizardman client.
~ Cambridge ~




Ugh. Malfested.

Einer had his fair share of assignments cleansing areas tainted by Miasma back in Flugell. The fighting was long over every time Einer's services were called and all the musician knew of the Miasma firsthand was how grotesque it turned everything it touched. Obviously, Einer read about the taint's effects, much like everyone, but he still remembered the first time he encountered it out in the open. Many were horrified, and it horrified Einer too... but similarly with Scarlett, the musician always found the taint oddly fascinating in a way.

Apparently, this neutral city caught a bad Miasma infestation at such a seemingly coincidental time. It fell to the newly-arrived Reaver guests to help eradicate the darkness. Once again, Einer found himself accompanying Leon, Eve and Lapi investigating the city's alleys and crannies for anything tainted. Einer was playing the Song Of Varda all the while, a tune that made it seem this small party were the heralds of salvation of Cambridge against the Miasma. Not exactly a fitting tune right now, but it cleansed any Miasma energy wherever they went. Of course, it would also attract any Malfested who heard the song. But perhaps that was for the best in order for the threat to be dealt with immediately.

Sure enough, the party was assailed by the Malfested. Einer was actually startled by the creature's speed, even making him stop playing the song. "...So that was a Malfested." The musician muttered as the others talked. They were hideous as ever, but they were surprisingly quick contrary to Einer's expectations.

”Many things in nature take on grotesque forms when on the path of evolution.”
Malfested Woman


But any further investigation must be put on hold, a woman emanating powerful Miasma appeared before the party. She radiated evil... and power. Einer was awed at her presence, his mouth agape. The fact that she could speak flew over the musician's head.

”To think you refer to those with Mother’s gift with such contempt. It’s sacrilege, aside from it being utter mockery.”
Malfested Woman


Shortly after that sentence, the woman unleashed a powerful wave of negative energy that sent everyone except Leon flying a couple of feet away. As Einer recovered, he noticed more Malfested incoming to join the party. While Leon fought the Malfested lady, Einer along with Eve and Lapi had to deal with these tainted. Perhaps playing the Song Of Varda the entire time earlier wasn't such a good idea after all.

The Malfested homed in on Einer. One was taken down by Eve, but there was still another. Einer's close combat instincts kicked in as he quickly dropped his lute to receive the enemy. As the Malfested lunged, Einer made himself low before catching the tainted creature and slamming it down on to the pavement. The musician knew that the Malfested were strong, practically impervious in hand-to-hand combat. Einer put the Malfested into a headlock, the proximity to this evil made Einer's stomach churn.

"Eve! Lapi!" Einer cried out, using all his strength to keep the Malfested from breaking free. "You need to cover me! I can play music that'll weaken the Malfested in the area! But you need to cover me!" Such words shamed Einer, but desperation and the instinct to survive mattered more in these circumstances.
"What are you waiting for, boy? Another yokai to hit me in the back?"

"Not waiting. Studying, and learning..."

"..."

"...Although that did cross my mind."

Skarsneek's attempt to assist Takeshi was moderately successful. Tetsuo had to shift his attention from his duel to evade the male Goblin's attack, which left him open to Takeshi's advance. The young lord did not get a hit in, but he took advantage of the brief opening to unleash a string of mighty swings. Tetsuo was forced to fall back, taking back steps ascending to the second level.

The rock that Skarsneek launched at the Iron Grinder was of little effect. His armor protected him from the speeding stone. Fortunately, the follow-up attack was not necessary as Kerry attempted to kick the legionnaire off the Lich. It did not fully work but Io was afforded more room to cast another beam spell that took out her captor. Before someone else decided to attack Io, she was carried off to a relatively safer position by Kerry.

With a scroll from her body, Io casted a healing and strengthening spell targeting only her allies. The Varjans and their allies no longer had the numbers nor the capability to interrupt Io, allowing her to maintain her spell. Still, the taskforce members might get into deep trouble and would require a direct intervention from the Lich.

Gringor caught Iron Grinder leader's sword with his teeth and hit the limb on his chest with his trusty axe. Contrary to Gringor's expectations, it only took one swing to get the legionnaire leader off of him. The Iron Grinder still stood, prepared for Gringor's next move, but with a noticeable limp now. Perhaps that could be taken advantage of.

Shizuka and the Hangai sisters were relieved by the timely arrival of their teammates. Dinah went to help the former while Liliana and Eula, later joined by Kerry, went after the latter. Dinah and Shizuka made short work of the technique students who once had the azure swordsman on the ropes. No more tried to attack them, for what remained of the enemy forces were already occupied by the other taskforce members. Shizuka moved to help the others, but apparently not Dinah.

"Behind us!" A student yelled as he saw reinforcements coming to the Hangai sisters' aid, catching the attentions of the two Iron Grinders.

One of the Iron Grinders slammed his hammer unto the moist soil, flinging drops of mud everywhere to stop Eula and Liliana's advance and momentum. With the initiative theirs, the other Iron Grinder surged forth to take a horizontal swing at the Automaton. The other wanted to go after the warrior Fairy, but his huge hammer wasn't really optimal to hit small, fluttery targets and opted to go after others instead. Like the Hornet, Kerry.

The Hangai sisters were still being attacked by several of the technique students. But the traitorous students were more vulnerable now, now that their armored allies no longer had their backs.

Meanwhile, Takeshi and Tetsuo's duel had taken them to the second level. A small clearing there would be their final arena. Tetsuo was reaching his limits but Takeshi, helped by Io's empowering spell, was about ready to finish this fight.

"Of course, I've got no intention of causing any long-lasting or permanent damage, so don't worry. Just keep in mind that we can't keep playing nice with him."
Vanessa


"Yep, we can hold nothing back now." Iskah nodded at Vanessa's words, having no problem with the Dark Mage taking off the kid gloves. "Aun is very much aware what comes next after defeating a Lizardman so he'll definitely be resisting harder against us. The Incubus Knight won't go down easily, so we'll have to give him our best shot!" The Lizardman raised a tankard.

--- THAT NIGHT ---


Iskah paid for a two-bed room where she and Vanessa could stay the night. They will need plenty of rest if they were to take on a vigilant Incubus Knight the next day. However, their slumber was interrupted by noises in the night. Heavy steps fell on the roof of the inn, stirring Iskah and Vanessa awake. But the Lizardman snapped awake, for she also recognized the energies likely making the noises.

She sprang up and immediately went over to Vanessa, shaking the Dark Mage to fully awake her and explain what was happening. "Vanessa! Vanessa!" Despite the urgency, Iskah still used a hushed tone. "It's Aun! He's here! Something's wrong!"

Confident that Vanessa would follow, Iskah left the room and made her way to the inn doors. While also making sure to make as little noise as possible. No doubt the commotion was already waking people up, but Iskah was instinctually polite. Once out of the inn, the Lizardman quickly turned her gaze to the rooftops. Immediately, she spotted two silhouettes running across the city's rooftops; One chasing the other.

One of the silhouettes was too dark to recognize, but Iskah knew him to be Aun as his energy signature could not be mistaken. The other silhouette glowed a bit of orange as if she had embers stuck on her body. "Oh no. Katelyn..." Iskah muttered. Her rival Salamander was now here, and chasing her beloved Aun. "We've got to stop her and rescue Aun!" The Lizardman declared to Vanessa, whom she assumed was with her.

"Look at how your yokai 'friends' abandon you, boy! Gaze upon the 'integrity' of your allies!" Tetsuo bellowed a laugh at Takeshi when Dinah departed from the battle, also taking some members of the taskforce with her.

But the taunt only earned a cut to the arm from the focused Takeshi. "I'd focus more on the fight if I were you." Of course, the young lord was not unaffected by his companions turning tail but he had a duel to win. Perhaps the battle was lost, but he was not going to let Tetsuo enjoy that. The two continued fighting uninterrupted, their duel respected for now.

Gringor charged for the Iron Grinder leader. Other enemies moved to intercept him, but they were cut down by the deadly energy beams that Io fired from the magic circle behind her. The protective barrier she erected also blocked the first volley of arrows fired upon them from the archers on the second level. Fortunately, that first volley was all the archers could release for soon, Skarsneek was upon them.

The Iron Grinder leader, realizing that nothing was stopping Gringor anymore, braced for the High Orc's impact. Only to charge at the last moment, tower shield raised. With the shield, he threw Gringor over himself. With the High Orc on the ground, the Iron Grinder brought down his metal boot unto Gringor's chest to keep the monster from moving. He then reverse-gripped his sword, and readied to bring the blade down Gringor's head.

With the taskforce depleted for a moment, a legionnaire managed to reach Io. He lost his hammer from the Lich's earlier barrage and so, could only tackle her from behind and wrap his arms around her to disable her from casting anymore spells. They rolled across the dirt a bit, smashing a few of the planted swords. The legionnaire's strength was great, forcing Io to think of something else to escape the lock.

Skarsneek managed to eliminate most of the archers on the second level while another lightning strike knocked out all the rest. The elevated position gave him a good view of the battle. Takeshi was still dueling Tetsuo, while a couple of students watched them and ready to intervene on behalf of their master. Gringor was on the ground, with the Iron Grinder leader's boot on his chest and Io was captured by a legionnaire.

Shizuka was busy fighting most of the students, getting hit by the Heavenly Strike for every student he dispatched. Hinami and Atsuha were backed into a rocky corner by two of the Iron Grinder legionnaires, supported by several students. The fourth legionnaire was on the ground, killed instantly by the beams from Io.

The situation was grim... but fortunately, nothing really major occurred when Dinah, Liliana, Kerry and Eula returned.

"Woah, woah... Slow down there, honey... You said... YOu said you fought and lost... And you're only now going to propose? I thought we came to the keep to get you your man, right here and now... But, now you're... Saying we'll have to do this all over agagin...?"
Vanessa


Before Iskah could answer, the two monsters' meals arrived. Two large dishes of assorted fishy delicacies, from classically fried ones to grilled ones with vegetables and seasonings stuffed in them. It didn't look like it, but Iskah seemed to have seafood as her preferred meal. The Lizardman can only hope that her Dark Mage companion shared her tastes.

But despite Iskah's mouth watering, she answered Vanessa first before even grabbing a utensil. "Well as you know, Lizardmen duel potential mates to gauge their strengths. If the Lizardman wins, that's that but if the potential mate wins, then he is the Lizardman's destined one and will propose marriage immediately." Iskah happily explained, even if this didn't really answer Vanessa's question. "And Lizardmen won't take 'no' for an answer, we'll keep bugging our destined mates until they say 'yes'."

"Like what happened to me!" Iskah continued, not a very good sign for the beleaguered Vanessa. "Buuuut, we're skipping all of that 'no' stuff and jumping straight to outright kidnapping him. I'm pretty sure he'll be adamant in his chastity until I introduce him to the pleasures of the flesh." The Lizardman finished. "I would've just taken him then and there... but he is the better fighter between us soooo, he managed to get away."

Finally grabbing a utensil, she said her last sentence before digging in. "Err, sorry if we have to do all that again. But I swear to you, this is the last mile, Vanessa! After we take him, we're home free and you'll have your reward!"

Iskah didn't seem intent on continuing her pursuit of Aun for the night. However, Vanessa can opt to go solo for the time being and nab The Incubus Knight once and for all.
