THE STRANGER

"And stay out!"

Amidst the fighting, an angry, thunderous voice echoes into the corridors. Those who have heard him before will realize it’s Luci again. As the group continues to fight, heat from their phones quickly makes itself known. Before long, something is violently expelled outwards from their screens, it transforms into a dark, pulsating energy that crackles like lightning before finding the nearest shadow rat to electrocute.

Soon, the lightning arcs between all of the remaining creatures. They quickly begin to move together, their forms melting into large, dark puddles, forming into a single mass.

You dare do this to me?! You're nothing but a worthless worm! You are nothing,
and your so-called lambs shall be dealt with! This world will continue to exist!

As it speaks, it reforms into a singular, large rat-like humanoid creature with a huamn head. A multitude of eyes begin to open all over its body, looking around at all of the gathered warriors, laughing. It's hideous (warning many eyes).

Such a pathetic lot! Gathered together without hope! This story shall end soon....

It's form completely solidified, a mess of rat-like hair covers its entire body anywhere there are no eyes. The skull that serves as a head laughs again.

Come then, children! I will tuck you back to sleep as you well deserve.
Naughty children must be punished!

"Ahh um...oops." The voice doesn't seem that sympathetic. "Didn't think it'd be that pissed off...well you guys know what you gotta do right? You have to win! I'm not sure how but..."

The situation seems rather dire....

But a vision rocks them briefly, of a blue room and a woman holding a clipboard, tapping it with her pen.

"It seems we meet again...or, perhaps, for the first time. Pardon us for the interruption, but we are most curious to see where this battle goes. You could say...your lives depend on it."

A man appears next to her, grinning, before taking a brief bow.

"Your skills so far are quite glorious, but your true strength has yet to awaken. Right now you work as individuals, but please think about what potential you might all have working together."

The vision fades and the danger comes back to you as the monster roars. You won't have much time to think of the words but...faced with death, the faster you figure it out, the better.

[OOC - We apologize for the lateness of this post due to RL issues. Good news! Combo spells are now unlocked.

When your character begins to attack the monster, please create a new thread in this log with what basic spell they are using.

Any reply with a similar attack spell (not of the same element necessarily) will increase its power by one. We will wait until either 6 replies to make a full spell, or a day has passed and count the attack towards the monster. Like all bosses, it is immune to a certain elements, but the description in the log should have given you a clue (of course if the navigators scan for it, they may find additional information. If you are a navigator, please title your post with what they do.)

There is an ending if it survives (bad) or if it gets killed (good). Good luck!]

[With all the eyes that thing has, it's hard to tell where its attention is focused, but regardless, it seems like this is the chance to strike. The goal was to lure out its true form and then end this as quickly as possible, so... here goes. He's not sure exactly what working together means, but he's been sticking with Ankh, at least since they had some kind of plan, so that's at least one more person who can use fire. Maybe others. He sends a message to everyone else who might be in range to attack.]

I'm going to hit it with fire. If you can do that, too, then do it!

[The more he can gather, the faster this thing will go down, or so he hopes. The more damage he can do to this creature, the better. The way it was talking, it's responsible for this whole mess of a fake life, so it deserves every bit of the anger Gladion has built up over the past month.

He waits a moment for the message to sink in before he casts the spell.]

[Jaune couldn't use fire...but he knew something of teamwork. Back home just because a spell was a different element didn't mean they couldn't be combined. Jaune didn't know if this would work but fire and light weren't so different. This might help.

So he casts the spell and hopes for the best.]

[Naki doesn't have any fire spells, but...maybe his wind spell could help? Either to hurt the enemy or maybe to fan the flames. A bigger fire is a better fire, right? Yeah.

He throws his Garu into the mix.]

[Kaltz doesn't have fire spells, and ice likely wouldn't mix well. But maybe dark would work. If there could be a devil of fire, dark and fire should mix well enough.

He casts his spell atop the others.]

[It's not fire, but...lightning is known to cause fires, right? It's still a form of energy. Similar concept, similar enough - magic is beyond him but he won't know the rules if he doesn't test everything. Science has never really been his strong suit...

So he casts, adding electricity into the mix.]

I can't. But every little bit helps, I think.

[There's another spell added to this one. He doesn't know what'll happen if he does this -- but there are other people adding their spells to Gladion's, so there's bound to be some sort of result.]

[The attack builds up. At first a flame, it passes into the heart of one user, exiting as another casts a spell growing in size. By the time it has left the last one, the fire has become gigantic.

Flames that erupt from the ground violently push the creature to the ground as its eyes close in pain and whatever little hair it had lights up on fire.]

I-impossible! YOU SHOULD ALL BE WEAK! IMPOSSIBLE!

[ATTACK IT WITH ALL YOU HAVE!]

[ It fell under the attack, completely exposed to any and all to charge at it. Ankh didn't even try to curb the look that crossed his features, or the way the flames flickered along his right arm. Andrealphus made its appearance again, slithering out from the shadows as color flickered back to life along the curving peacock feathers. The screech of two intertwining birds that it issued only blended with Ankh's own voice. ]

Weak? Tch, thinking that all humans are weak shows just how little you know of them.

[ Eiji would have been crying about now, but Ankh didn't think of that. Instead he hit the creature with his own Agi. ]

[Gladion is more than a little surprised when the attack he started hits as hard as it does. He's already gearing up to send another blast of fire its way when he catches Ankh's retort, replying mentally rather than shouting back over the chaos to be heard.]

That sounds a little funny coming from you.

[Considering everything else he's said about humans has sounded condescending. Still, he can't help the small smile as he casts Agi along with Ankh's.]

Clearly you do not know with whom you deal with, creature.

[Even without a Persona, fire had always been one of Alucard's best spells. And now? With a Persona, it's one of his greatest strengths. So here, have another Agi and build the bonfire!]

[She can feel the fire spell warm at the back of her mind. What the others cast earlier seemed to help, so . . . she'll throw her lot in with it and add. First she casts Boost, then hurls in another Agi.]

If anyone needs Boost, let me know.

[Probably she sounds a little tired. She's done quite a few spells at this point, and quite a lot of fighting. But she's going to push it.]
