[PP-F14] Just that Quick [Floor Boss Battle]

Azide · March 13, 2016

For all of their kites, copters and planes, never had mankind been able to wrest the skies from the birds. In the land of the blind, even the one-eyed man was king; in the sky, a mere man such as himself was as good as blind. The enemy, on the other hand, was eagle-eyed: a beast who sighted and struck with neither thought nor consideration. In the air, Rohk reigned supreme, and seemed all-too-aware of the fact. For a creature with less than a quarter of its initial health, the hovering avian looked awfully haughty even now. A sneering, curled beak, and a pair of sunken eyes that glared. Every downward beat of its weathered winds seemed to be just begging for a challenge.

Then again, who was he to speak? Just moments before, he himself had fallen to a measly twenty-three points of health. It was almost funny- that he himself had foreseen all of this: a boss that would finally break the mold, and bring fear back to the bunch that had lost it all too early. It was he who'd pleaded for the regular use of safeguards- it was he who could defend a claim as one of Aincrad's longest-lived alchemists.

The corners of his lips twitched, bringing to his face a pale, bitter smile. He flexed his fingers, curling them inward one by one in methodical succession, before allowing them tighten undeterred. It was he who'd been too stubborn, too aloof and unbothered. He'd been too reckless, and hopelessly so. Why hadn't he bothered to craft so much as a single safeguard in these past few months?

He could feel his fist trembling. If he'd been made of tin rather than flesh, it'd probably be rattling something fierce. But he shook his head and stowed his dagger. With a quick swipe of his arm, he materialized within his hand a single glowing crystal. Perhaps he didn't have invincibility at his fingertips- but at the very least, it wasn't beyond him to weather the storm all the same.

A woosh of air as something struck him from above- as he felt its talons sink into him, his mind raced, wondering how he'd allowed himself to be caught so flat-footed. The air was knocked from his lungs, and his eyes widened as a gleaming object plummeted towards the ground. Desperately, the young man shot a hand outward as he realized what had happened. His eyes widening, he pounded at the beast's scaly talons as they carried him far and away.

In this airy domain, Rohk was king- and he, not even a pawn.

Rohk · March 13, 2016

The ego-centric blonde commanded orders as he annihilated another one of of the bird's precious <Raptor Falcon(s)>. Though it seemed the others heard him, the two players that followed up his assault opted to to train their efforts on his <Amber Eggs>. They destroyed not one but two and this infuriated the feathered being.

Grasping the brunette (Azide), Rohk exited the nest and flew into the thicket of the battlefield. Releasing the player into their ranks, the crimson eyed beast shot into the sky once again. The motion becoming a recurring nightmare for those who knew what was about to come.

Yet again winds whipped up and swiveled back and forth as a hurricane of funnels bombarded the players for the third time during the length of this fight. Holding nothing back, felt the pain of the players thorns, a pre-programmed retaliation effect that the bird seemed to have proc'd off several players as his HP bar dipped further and further. However, his HP was far better off than that of the brunette he had tossed back into the field. The winding bar zipped to zero as the pixels of the fallen player swirled away with the clearing of the tornadoes.

Another casualty for the players. Another victory for the avian. Triumph looked good on them but better on Rohk. He spied several more players whose HP was entering his threshold. They were next and he looked forward to it.

Azide had fallen in the midst of the entirety of the battle against Rohk, this fight was becoming more and more hazardous for a multitude of players, it was beginning to become an issue. Zelrius' plan was a bust and nothing more could be gained from it, there was no point in sitting on the fact that the fight was going to continue on regardless. After Dom had been dropped from the nest after his quick rest, it was high time he did something to continue to save this fight. He grabbed his Banner of Superior Healing, and knelt to the ground as he place the banner in it, "It's time I actually contribute to this battle.

With the intent to heal some allies health and bring them up quite a bit, he focused his energy on Shizuka, Zelrius, Manta, and Baldur as an attempt to save their lives from being taken away from them. He was frustrated that someone in the front lines was slaughtered by the might of Rohk himself, but he didn't have enough time to act to save the man's life. The best he could do was possibly save some other allies lives in the process of the entirety of the battle.

After finishing his ability, he looked up at the massive Avian. Two people had lost their lives to this boss alone, how many more needed to be taken down in the process of this battle. The Massive squawking piece of flying turd had manage to slaughter two people in the time they had been in here, There was just no way he could physically reach the boss since it was flying around like a crazed chicken with it's head cut off. "Come on people, live damnit, LIVE!" He muttered to himself quietly while exclaiming to himself in frustration. He also felt like there was a foot print feeling on him, as if someone kicked him while he took his nap, but it wasn't that big of a deal.

Mack · March 13, 2016

OOC: Accidentally double rolled when my comp. froze for a second. Using the FIRST roll... not that it matters since I have to pop an energy item anyway. Was only rolling for the Regen and one roll was a 1 and the other a 2 (I know, right?). I will edit in the DMG table updates and such once they are posted by the preceding players. In the meantime, here's my post and it's Macradon's turn.

Mack considered his options as the assault on fortress Rohk continued. The bird was still hilariously high in the air. The eggs were undefended, but with Mack's energy situation being what it was and the tiny amount of damage he had dealt the eggs on the previous attack he had made, it seemed clear to the soldier that he would not be able to use any of his lower level sword arts to do much to the eggs. That meant it was time to get into the at ready inventory and pop an energy boost. Swiping the air in front of his face, Mack extracted a bluish-green energy drink that Grave had inexplicably named Kayaba-ade. There would be a talk about that kind of humor when this fight was over. Uncapping the drink, Mack downed it in one long pull before chucking the empty bottle skyward at Rohk. The missile fell well short of its goal, and wouldn't have constituted an attack anyway, since there were no archery attacks in Sword Art Online. Still, it was the simple things in life that gave the most pleasure.

Macradon · March 13, 2016

From what seemed like a challenging bossfight suddenly changed to a deadly. The girl, Cora, who joined the boss raid as a mascot of some sort, died. Macradon would sigh, deeply. Of course it was a life that vanished, a life he couldn't safe. But he slowly became more and more cold hearted for each of the boss raids he had been attending. The hard work that was done clearing floors, and then the ungrateful lower leveled players down there were really getting him mad. But pushing that away from what was happening right now, Macradon was ready for his turn to jump into the battle, he would try to go in for another attack, but before he could get to close the distance, the big bird, Rohk, did it before Macradon.

"Oh ..." he thought as the big predator swooped down to grab him onto its claws. This was the same thing done to some others at the boss raid. Macradon wouldn't mind that much as he would just wave back to Mack and Dom from the position he was when the bird would fly up with him. His hefty armor was enough for him to feel safe, he would think of a scenario that would fit the one happening right now, a scenario from a movie, or just a quote and/or line of lyric from a song. It wouldn't take him long before he got the right line for it. His first thought was the Aladdin and the "A whole new world" song, but his second thought was much more fitting. "We're soaring! Flying~ There's not a star in heaven we can't reach!" he sang as he would try to make the best flying pose while still tucked in the talon's of the big bird.

He would be thrown down into the big nest of the avian and would be sitting there like a ... sitting duck. With him sat a few others, some known, that would be Azide that he met in his shop and Hikoru he had met quite a few times now. Ebony, a person he actually haven't met that way, was also present. He remembered placing an order at Ebony's shop, but it didn't really go further than that. Macradon would yawn and lean back into the comfy nest of the bird. As the bird would fly back down, in would take one of the prisoners down, Azide. The doom would fall as Macradon would look as the man was taken back down to the field, only to use another AOE attack, slowly sweeping all the frontliners away.

Takao · March 13, 2016

The battle had taken a turn for the worst. Whatever plan Zelrius had didn't work, and the group way paying dearly for his incompetence. With his inventory window still open, Takao summoned forth a single crystal and gripped it tightly. Cora had fallen at some point, and even if that loss was inevitable, it still upset him greatly. A preventable death that wasn't shown any care. Then, after Cora, Azide fell. He was frozen in place despite his body wanting to move. The ash-brown haired teen watched as one of the vanguard, a person he wasn't especially close with but a friend nonetheless, explode into colourful pixels. It was insulting how simple it was, how nonchalant the game treated their deaths. They practically exploded into confetti, and their only remnants soon faded away into oblivion.

Takao gritted his teeth and glanced around, examining health gauges. "Okay, calm down... Risk assessment first." Takao muttered quietly, using the time weathered strategy of talking to himself in order to steel his nerves. He determined the next to fall would be Manta, Lowenthal, Shizuka, and perhaps Baldur if the cards weren't in their favour. "Zandra has first aid, and the bird will probably be on its way back immediately after she makes a move..." He huffed out a breath and shook his head, some semblance of a strategy having formed.

First, he attacked. The eggs were proving to be a problem, and with the boss out of reach, doing his part to prevent them from hatching was the extent of his abilities. Takao rose the blade over his shoulder and poised it just right, activating the same sword art he'd used just moments before. The system took hold again and guided his body through the motions of an elaborate chain of eleven modes of attack, each slice landing on the egg and chipping away at its health. As he came to a stop, Takao skidded beside Shizuka and extended his hand, uttering the keyword to activate the crystal he'd been holding. He watched her health climb back up to a safe colour, then turned his head. "Zandra, if you get the chance, could you please heal up Manta before that thing comes back?" He called out, hoping his voice was loud enough for her to hear. "Somebody else, please try to make sure the next egg doesn't hatch!"

Azide · March 14, 2016

Azide's Farewell

It was easy math. Seventy-five the first time, fifty the second. Zero mitigation.

Tawny eyes flicked over to glance at the meager bar, which had since faded from a healthy green to a sickly yellow. Or maybe he was reading into it too deeply. Admittedly, he was hardly neutral towards these colors; green had always been his color. But even so, the number seated beside that frail sliver was not nearly as subjective. After all, one could hardly argue something as blatant as numbers alone. Forty-three was forty three; it was seven less than fifty, twenty-two less than seventy-five.

It was easy math, and he wished it'd been harder.

A certain dread lingered within his mind, circling his thoughts in seeming perpetuity like buzzards drawn to an easy meal. As soon as he stopped thinking, they'd come swooping down for the kill- and that was something he just wasn't quite ready to accept.

The frantic pounding of his fists lessened with every pointless blow, until it ceased altogether. His lungs claimed a ragged breath as he turned his sights to the sky once more. Grey, cloudy, and lifeless- it was a pitiful sight. Days like this were meant for rain, and yet even now, a single drop of sympathy seemed to exist somewhere beyond reach and reason.

He bit his tongue as the creature tightened its grip, sinking its claws more deeply into his flesh. He swore he could taste blood in the air. With a shake of his head, teeth gritted in bitter defiance, he drove back the lingering dread once more. It wasn't time yet- there was still so much more.

There were still meetings to be planned, floors to be cleared, quests to be done... It was still too soon.

Another shot of espresso at the Starlight Cafe, reading up on all the knowledge this world had to offer- searching for an end to all of this madness.

A steaming mug of coco, curled up somewhere toasty on the frozen floors of the fourth, basking in the serenity of the snow-covered scene. Maybe he'd even ask the young lady at the cafe to join him for the evening. He wondered if she'd ever caught on, that girl. But it seemed unlikely- Rebekah had always been rather aloof. Pain seared in his sides yet again as the winged creature shifted its hold, but he bore it even still, and took a deep breath.

It was settled- as soon as they got out of here, he'd send the blonde a message and treat her to something nice. She'd done a great deal for him that day, back in the snowy glade- even if she hadn't known it. But he supposed he'd be lying if he were to claim that as his only motivation.

And not only that- he'd finally ask the Calrex about joining the Spectrum Coalition, so that they might finally unite the front-lines and make some real progress. And now that Oikawa was back, he could even look towards re-establishing Square One. He'd send Takao a gift basket for saving his life back on floor nine, and give Opal a better apology than the one he'd left her with. He'd greet the man Baldur, who'd returned after more than a year away, and scour every last floor out there until he found that old dog Xanatos.

There was so much catching up to do- so much to be done. And he'd do it all- he really would. He'd do all of that and more- just as soon as all of this came to an end.

The talons of the avian went slack, plunging the young man into a sudden free-fall. Sights set on the swirling grey above, he sighed. There was no use denying it any longer. Azide closed his eyes as a glistening streak trailed across his cheek, and he wondered if perhaps the sky had shed a single drop of sympathy after all.

Before he even struck the ground, a heavy rush of air swallowed him entirely. Just like that, forty-three turned to zero, and Azide was no more.

Tristan Delaney · March 14, 2016

Ignore previous statement. An error by the staff posting led to confusion by using the wrong ID.

Tristan wasn't sure how to react. It was clear the current situation was chaos and there wasn't much he could do about it. It annoyed him to no end, that they had bumrushed into the fight with no preparation, because the players got too comfortable with the fight. This boss however was oddly almost...too strong for the floor it was on. He could only hope this was a one off or a glitch by Cardinal and they wouldn't get something so over the top, though would note to ensure players are prepared too.

Tristan opened the shared inventory he had with Zelrius as a friend, where they had a shared inventory of consumables to use. He took a safeguard potion, then used it on Zelrius himself to ensure he wouldn't at current die, at least enough time for a healer to do something about it. For now, he would have to grit his teeth and ensure they got through it, because these casualties were definitely not what he wanted.

Chaos. How you describe the current situation with a single word. They was getting closer to bring the eagle down. But they had lost not only the level one girl, but also Azide. Also several players are getting closer to the red zone. Thou Zandras group was almost unharmed, so she wouldnt be able to use her mod. Another thing she didnt understood, why no healer in first group when placing two in the third. But she have to take herself together now, dont space out. She headed towards the first group. On the way she took forth one of the mass heal crystals. She, without saying a word, shattered the crystal on Manta, heal the whol group.

Back at her own group again, she took forth her banner. She raised it and slammed it into the ground. A gust of wind made the banner to flutter. Zandra consentrated on who she wanted the flag to effect. It wasnt near full health, but it was the best she could do at the moment.

Rohk · March 14, 2016

Grief settled in among the players at the loss of the brunette whose pixelated data was swept away with one final gust of wind. Rohk, almighty in his domain, had claimed the life of yet another player. His confident demeanor brimming as the fight seemed to come to a standstill, however this was not the case. Another brunette, this one donning eyes of an emerald shade, brake into action. Barking orders as he moved across the groups to seemingly heal another player. Several other players took the same action on themselves or others. This entertained the predatory feathered beast. His internal chuckles subsided however as he felt his attention once again get yanked to the long haired red head tank who seemed to be rather bothersome with every rotation they made.

Forcing his sight elsewhere, Rohk roared once more and took off into the sky. Hovering, he waited, contemplating his next move and target. As what seemed like the sun, eclipsed, the bird shot to the floor. As he swept through the players once more, he collected the pinkette once again (Shizuka), as well as the brutish warrior from the second group (Ssendom), the brutish warriors group mate (Mack), and the blonde from the third group (Ariel), in his clutches and promptly dropped them off into the straw mess that was getting more crowded by the second.

Deciding to be generous, the avian plucked the red and white warrior (Macradon) from his nest and dropped him back off within the group. Returning to his nest, he once again took to resting as another <Amber Egg> shattered and revealed a <Raptor Falcon>.

Ebony · March 15, 2016

Ebony had been taken by the bird and flown to it's nest, right when she was needed most. Her healing was most certainly needed now, although Zandra had done an incredible job of healing, probably saving many lives. Now Ebony was stuck in the nest unable to help them, along with Shizuka, another healer, and some of their damage dealers. The boss fight wasn't going well. The drop from this boss had better be worth it.

Shizuka · March 15, 2016

Shizuka was not pleased. She had not had a turn for god knows how long. The combat system was pretty screwed up and depended on luck a lot. Indeed, she had not went for such a long time and at the moment, she was just stunned, unable to move and unable to heal... Such a tragedy. Zandra is hogging up all the healing again... How lucky. Shizuka thought, with the only emotion that she could even make. At this point, Shizuka wasn't angry... Nor was she salty. She could care less about whether she dies or not. As long as Lowenthal stays alive, she can die... Her duty, sole purpose in life was for Lowenthal. However, Shizuka had yet to receive a confession from the man and until she does, she is not willing to die. Not yet... Please... Shizuka thought, still unable to move. And unable to stop her tears from falling from her pink eyes, she hid her face to stop the morale of the others from falling. I must stay strong for this fight... If I believe, there is nothing I can't do. With that, Shizuka snapped out of the stun to whip her face and change it to one of confidence. Too bad my turn has passed... Oh well, I must continue now... And try my hardest to help the players claim victory.

The woman's heart fluttered. Amber eyes looked up into the sky seeing the bird [censored] Azide from the flock below. Her mouth open and she shook her head, "No...no...." she murmured. She could feel that very heart beat faster and faster now, threatening to break this digital vessel. Her throat had gone dry, her eyes blurred with the sting of tears forming in the corners of her eyes, then a sharp yell boomed from her petite frame. The world around her seemed to gray out of existence as she watched Azide burst into pixels. There was no feeling left that could define, this pain she felt...it was far worse than anything she had felt, however wholly similar to the time of Lindow's death. She dropped down on to her knees, her hand lifted into the air to catch whatever the remains were left of his digital flesh.

A speck had drifted to her palm where she clenched it tight and held it to her bosom. She could no longer hide her tears as they came forth and subdued the world around her. There was no boss raid going on, there was no one around her. She just balled herself into a tight ball, rocking back and forth on the ground as she continued to sob and curse the world around her. This was not something she was expecting, no one was expecting this. Opal grew angry, all that sadness now had turned to bitter hate and rage, not for the bird, towards herself and the damn [censored] idiot they called The Hero Of Aincrad. What the [censored] made him so god damn special to act like this? Two people died under his so called "Leadership." The meeting was a farce, that entire guild was a pile of [censored] for all she knew and cared for. No more, it wouldn't happen anymore.

With seething hands she once more gripped the katana and flipped through the menu of her inventory, finding one of her remaining Mass Heal Crystals. Turning back, she tossed the item towards the back row where they seemed to have some trouble coping with the AoE, it was a selfless act on her part, she could have used a safeguard position on herself, but she was going to do something stupid and probably piss off Mack as well who was watching from the front.

With eyes burning with left over tears. The woman flipped her sword, the edge glowing with a bright silver pulsating light as it consumed the blade. She rushed in for the attack towards the now newly hatched Raptor. Moving forward, she moved the blade to her side with one hand and as if removing it from the saya, the long drawn attack connects with the raptor, taking a piece of its hit points and stunning it from moving for the others to attack. With this open attack, she hopes Calrex and the other can clench this battle before any more senseless deaths are committed.

Things were not going well got the battle, at least to Calrex's eyes. He was already fed up with the lack of sound strategy that had claimed one life, but now things had escalated. One of the people he trusted and considered a good friend, Azide, had just perished in the battle. As the young man's avatar dispersed into crystals the bluenette's pupils became smaller and smaller, as if in disbelief at what had just happened.

He dropped to his knees as he gritted his teeth hard enough that in real life it would have started bleeding from the base of the teeth pushing into his gums. He already knew how things would be spun if they had survived, that the blame was to be placed on those who died having a lack of strength, rather than those who lacked the ability to keep them alive. To him, no matter what outcome this battle had, none of those would be a victory. A loss to him, in any sense, is failure. One could tote all they want about successfully slaying a creature, but to him that was boiled down to luck of the draw and turn, not skill. Virtually nothing in this game, in relation to monster slaying, could be attributed to skill, merely luck.

Yet somehow he highly suspected that the people who mentally considered themselves elite amongst the group, that very same elitism he considered a poison among the frontliners, was exactly what resulted in this situation.

"Tch..."

Forcing himself back to his feet the bluenette looked over at those he trusted and considered close. He called over to Oikawa and Ariel, as well as those he had met during his journeys, a serious tone overtaking his usual calm and casual self, "Should I survive this...it may be my last frontline battle I will participate in for some time..."

Although concealed by his helmet, four tears fell down his face before he moved forward. Bringing the Grand Blade II back into a firm grip the sword blazed alight with a shining golden glow as the Ultramarine Knight rushed forward, his eyes set on the raptor that was hovering not too far away. It was recently stunned by Opal, leaving itself open to the powerful opening charge. Red numbers indicating critical strikes seeped from the avian as Calrex unleashed strike after strike, his attacks no longer retraining the refined technique from before. This was at best being held together by the assisted system, with the bluenette focusing everything he could muster into hitting as hard as the system allowed.

Even with it it seemed sheer willpower didn't translate into the mechanics as the raptor remained, a sliver of health left. Giving a few frustrated heaves Calrex calmed his breathing back down, gritting his teeth as he stepped back so that the others could attack.

OOC: post theme song below, helped get into the proper atmosphere an inspiration for the post. Since I'm stunned I thought I'd post now as the content it's irrelevant to the stats that remained unchanged. Will edit them in after Calrex finishes editing.

Spoiler

'Insane'... is a term people use often to describe someone or a situation that was beyond normal human comprehension, behavior and rules, possibly the opposite to those. Or at least that was how the blonde perceived it as she muttered the following words with a concerned expression: "No, this is can't be happening." her voice was starting to shake as once again, as she found herself in the accursed bird's nest. Again, she could only look bellow at the players who bravely fought without holding back, she could only watch as the bird set its sights on Azide taking him into its talons as it took flight into the 'skies'. Watched as her friend was struggling with all he had to get loose from the avian's grip. "Why wasn't the tanks hate working?" thought the blonde as she trailed her friend's figure once the bird would release him back to the ground. She was about to physically express her inner joy until she spied with the corner of her eye the bird's next action. She'd recognize that move.

Her breath became ragged as she witnessed the following scene 'This has to be a bad dream.' was her next thought as the green clad figure disappeared in the same [censored] animation ordinary mobs did when she killed them. A image she was painfully familiar with... her mind, unwilling to accept the reality of what happened, decided to make her look in another direction after a complex subconscious decision making. The blonde's gaze fell onto a white and red clad figure that was the nearest... Opal, the witch as Ariel first knew her as, was showing a very peculiar behavior by going into something similar to a fetal position in the middle of the fight. The blonde continued to observed her, as the rest of her body was being numbed from the earlier shock. She wanted to tell her to get a grip but her lips wouldn't move an inch(/cm). As the new falcon spawned, her numbness began to fade soon to be forgotten, unconsciously ignored/closed-in/absorbed by her subconscious like the memory of Azide's death.

While the giant bird mob landed in its nest next to the 'captured party' the blonde gazed at it as it gained an 'immortal object' status and would ignore them, simply surveying the fight below them. Without her really wanting to... her eyes looked at its figure, seizing the opportunity inspect it closely and maybe discover a weakness that would help them kill it faster. She found nothing as such an continued to change her point of focus, lowering it from its massive beak... towards its claws. At that moment, triggered at the sight of the sharp talons, the recent memory that she locked away deep inside her, resurfaced. At that point, the blonde's sanity simply... vanished. She wasn't one to always cultivate logic as she acted mostly by instinct. The same instinct that she took so much pride in, now took control over her body guiding her every move as her brain decided to get a...timeout.

She started showing a vicious smile while eyeing the bird. She reached for her rapier and by muscle memory executed the <<Pre-Motion>> necessary to activate her most powerful sword art. As the system recognized the move, her blade started emanating a blue color, more darker than the night itself as she began thrusting her blade at the bird. That attack and the following connected as the system warning that said "Immortal Object" kept popping out in front of the blonde. It meant little thing to her as she continued attacking it with all her might and the boost in speed offered by the system assistance. After the third hit she started shouting "AAA....:" increasing in intensity with each new hit until, by the end of the thirteenth and final hit... her shout sounded more like an animalic (lion's) roar rather than a human's scream. She did no damage at all, perhaps not even getting its attention, nothing but wasted precious energy.

At the end of the sword art, the blonde fell on her knees. A internal switch flipped and she began regaining her sense of self. She let go of the rapier and brought her hands to her face, letting tears run freely down her cheeks as she started weeping... only to be seen by the fellow members of the 'captured party'. She'd come to accept the fact.... that her friend... was gone, from this world and probably the real one. She couldn't even get angry at the bloody idiot who was singing earlier in the battlefield.

Rohk · March 19, 2016

The golden avian cackled from high up in its perch, watching the players who looked like ants scramble on the earth below him. The distraction that was his hatchling kept their focus off of him. He could sense the fear and despair among some of the warriors, many of them seeing the light of death before their eyes, just as many trapped in hthe clutches of his nest, and two of their comrades ceasing to exist before their eyes. With bright eyes the winged beast glared at those below.

Spreading its large wings out to the side, Rohk fell to the side, diving down towards the players who sat in his nest just waiting to be returned to their comrades' sides on the battlefield. Coming to a hover just above their heads, Rohk's claws uncurled from the bottoms of his legs. Feeling they had served their sentence, the avian grabbed hold of three players (Ariel, Shizuka, and Ebony) and darted back out towards the others. Before any of the other players just wanting to take a swing at the bird of prey, Rohk dropped his captives onto the ground and shot back into the air with a gust of wind. Once again he reclaimed his perch high above them all, awaiting for their next moves.

Jomei · March 19, 2016

The man felt his body chill over and emotion take over his entire being when he bared witness to what happened next. He had already seen it just before his eyes merely moments before.. and his reactions were towards someone he did not even know. Now it was happening again, another one of them had died.. this time it hit a bit closer to home. Where he did not know the man much, he was friendly with Azide. He could have called him a friend. And now he was gone. Jomei's entire body shuddered and his olive eyes only stared at where the remains of Azide's digital body perished. His feared face turned to that of anger and rage, "You bastard!" he screamed at the top of his lungs up at the golden bird that laughed at their futile attempt to kill it.

Jomei knew that attacking Rohk was out of the question, the perch was too far above him to jump, run up the wall, or climb. However, he knew that he did have the opportunity to wipe out one of its younglings that remained near the earth with the rest of them. The others had already done a significant amount of damage to the young bird, and it was up to Jomei to put it out of its pathetic misery. With the tip of the blackened blade, Saint Andrew's Bane, touching the ground, Jomei used his charge skill to run forward at his fastest speed. The blade, still touching the ground, scraped at the stone floor, causing sparks to jump up as the metal ran against the ground. After driving his shoulder into the unsuspecting bird, the green clad warrior spun on his heel and swiftly drove his rapier into the body of the avian, quickly turning it into fragments of data. Using his free arm to swipe through the pixels as they fell to the ground, pushing them from his view, Jomei pointed his rapier up at the larger bird above them, "You're next."

Hikoru · March 19, 2016

Hikoru breathed and gasped at something that he had never seen coming... His friend and old ally Azide had pixelated before his eyes, before he could do anything else. He breathed as soon he saw Rohk pick up a few more characters, including his fiancée. They we're soon dropped, and he came over to his fiancée, when she grabbed her weapon and lashed at the creature. He watched, and saw what seemed to be... tears... She soon was done, then fell, tears steaming down her face. He had been strong throughout the situation.

His friend Azide had been with him on one of his first adventures with Xanatos and another player that had dissapeared mid-battle, and hasn't been seen since. He and Azide had both made promises to try to look for two of them, and that had been their goals for awhile, although he had himself all but forgotten it. But when Azide pixelated into nothing, the promise hit him dead in the heart, making his heart drop. He came over to Ariel, holding her close and letting her cry into his shirt. He felt her grip onto his shirt, burying her face into his shoulders. Seeing her like this, made him bawl tears. For her, for Azide, for everyone that was suffering from this boss, and he couldn't do anything about it

But this moment was all too soon taken, as Rohk soon came and gripped onto Ariel, and started to drag her away. No, no he wouldn't leave her, not yet. Not until he felt both her and him felt better. He continued to grab onto her, holding her with all his strength and doing his best to loosen the grip on the great bird's claws, but to no prevail

"No... NO! I WON'T LET YOU TAKE HER!" He screamed at the bird. He took his dagger and took swipes at the talon, but a notification that read "Immortal Object" appeared after every swipe, and he just screamed as he continued to fly through the air. He looked down, and saw that if he didn't let go, he would lose his strength and fall to his death. With tears, he looked at Ariel and kissed her forehead

"I'm sorry..." He said, and he dropped back down onto the nest. He looked down and saw that she laid there, hurt and not moving. He choked up, unable to hold back the tears he felt. He looked at the bird, and let out a scream "You'll... You'll Pay!" He said "We will defeat you! And you will never return to this game!" He screamed, feeling the fire of vengance burning in his heart. He looked at the heavens, and screamed once more "AZIDE!" He said "I PROMISE YOU, I WILL FIND XANATOS! I WILL FULFILL THE MISSION YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO DO! I SWEAR ON MY LIFE!!!!" And with that, he laid onto the nest, unable to stop himself from crying tears of pain and sorrow

((OOC: Ariel gave me the OK to bunnyhop a bit.))

Baldur · March 20, 2016

Baldur was speechless. His steel blue eyes wide in disbelief as Azide shattered into a million tiny multicolored lights. He had never been close to Azide as the two players had probably only spoken a sentence or two in passing, but Baldur had always wanted to get to know him more and had almost joined Square One because they had so many allies in common.

All of that potential... that... wasted opportunity hit him now with a weight and pain much greater than anything the Rohk could have thrown at him. That was what he had come back here to fight against, more wasted potential through the loss of life. Azide was one of Aincrad's best leaders and most intelligent players, it took only a moment with the man to notice; what could he have contributed not only to this world, but the real one as well?

Perhaps his death, and that loss of potential in the face of the unknown made this world no less real that the one outside of the nerve-gear. Baldur wanted to fight, to rage, to hit something, but his blade was only useful against the adds, and it seemed their heavy hitters were only hitting eggs and Raptor while Rohk sat in his next, while the rest of them were helpless. Now that his HP was full, however, he took the wiser, more patient route that he had planned on, and would have kept his HP from dropping quite so low. Quickly drinking down his potion of mitigation, he should be a tougher target now. It wasn't a replacement for a heavy suit of armor, but it was the difference between surviving another critical hit whirlwind or not. He had thought having evasion would help with the AoE's, but that was not the case. In the next fight, he would make sure to stack mitigation.

Too many people had paid the price to learn that lesson.

Wiping away a real tear that streaked down his digital face, Baldur held his ground. Hopefully he would be able to contribute to the fighting off the adds, if not, then his was going to hit Rohk with his 1 point of damage until the bird died or he went to join Azide.
