[PP - F23] A Normal Day of << Search and Rescue >>


Recommended Posts

Ruby had looked towards Hestia and looked back around to the deserted landscape that resembles nothing but a hatred between parties. "Thank god we aren't exploring this in the middle of a war..." she had sighed out to Hestia following up behind her into the forest, looking around however she had been a bit disturbed to what she had been looking at, slashes etched into stones... rocks that definitely melded out of shape with slashes, and blood splattered all over the walls. The place had seriously gave Ruby the creeps and she had felt her shiver a bit, however she managed to calm herself down and just continue to carefully look along the side of Hestia, Kuro, and Purobolos. Ruby had stayed quiet for a moment even inside her head to see if she could hear anything... however she couldn't really hear anything to begin with. She had sighed and looked over to Hestia and said "With the way this area is looking, it doesn't seem like anyone would be alive in here."

I sigh softly as i look through the rubble wearing my golden cloak to help aid in trying to find somebody or something within all of this mess. Hoping that the bonus that the cloak has is able to give me enough focus to find where the girl could be. I sigh softly about to agree with Ruby until i hear the sounds of rubble being moved as i turn towards the source and quickly rushes on over as i force the rubble off one by one. Come on..almost there. I say while gritting my teeth as i slowly force off all of the boulders while huffing and puffing in exertion as i look to see what is underneath the rubble. I then see a woman underneath all of the rubble. I wince slightly at the shape that she is in her armor being just a thin piece of aluminum basically with how durable it looks from the fact it looks like it got crushed, slashed, and shattered in multiple places. I look over towards her weapon and see that it got broke into multiple different segments. Soon after a loud roar echoes throughout the area like a howl of a hundred beasts. "please be careful..the beasts are coming." The dark elf says in a weakened voice as i help her to her feet with a nod of my head as i activate first aid to heal up her injuries as very quickly she can stand on her own. "Thank you for the help, but i fear it might be in vain. The beasts are arriving to finish there killing of the survivors."

Ruby had asked the question, but before really she could really respond, the sound of rubble moving could be heard. Ruby had looked over to Hestia but she had immediately moved to her typical self and went to help her. Ruby had smirked a little before following up behind her to help the woman, getting onto her knees helping the rubble off of the woman so very little could affect her HP which had dwindled a little bit. After a moment she had said to becareful as the "beasts" were coming, Ruby had blinked a few times and could hear odd footsteps coming from a different direction, Ruby simple put opened her eyes in a bit of disbelief thinking to herself "You mean to tell me that there is still beasts around to clean up after the war had been said and finished? Lord only knows how many we would need to fight... it could be an entire army... I doubt that Kayaba would do that to us, but for aesthetics it could happen..." however she had shook her head and prepared a attack now with a look of determination.

After awhile the sounds of the howling only grow in volume as the sources make themselves visible to us. Different varied beasts of a sort looking like werebeasts of sorts from bear to wolf. One being a creature that looks like it could be humanoid almost if it wasn't for its weird proportions and how it is running on all fours. A deer skeletal head being visible with alongside this beast being a werewolf looking creature in varied busted up and broken pieces of armor that look similar towards what the dark elf with us are wearing. Then the other two creatures looking more bear like and wearing heavier looking armor, but even then moving just as fast do to either pure speed or strength pushing them forward. Quickly i do my natural reaction to protect the girl. Come and fight me you mangy mutts! You're facing the iron Wall of Aincrad! I say with a grin on my face as i rush forward to meet them smashing the pommel of my sword against my shield creating a loud clang as i activate howl. the noise of the collision being amplified drowning out there multitude of howls with just my singular call to battle as i give them a fierce glare. As the four beasts rushes towards me. "What is she crazy!? She is barely wearing any armor she is going to get mauled by those creatures." The dark elf says in a slightly concerned tone of voice while looking towards Ruby.

After Ruby had gained her confidence it wasn't long before the Beast's had appeared, and they had looked... kinda creepy, they had looked like Werewolves however with a bit more Minotaur like qualities, being beefy and just generally scary to look at, however Ruby was bigger when it came to power. It wasn't long until Hestia had howled forward taunting them to attack her, the Beastmen look towards Hestia and with a snarl they had moved forward and struck against her. 3 of them hitting her taking a bit to their HP from thorns, while the other failed to hit a non moving target. However the Beastmen had looked towards her squinting their eyes looking more angered noticing that her HP had not dropped at all. Ruby had cracked her knuckled and moved forward and slammed her fist against one of the minotaurs heads instantly critically hitting it and killing it. Ruby had blinked a few times and said out "Didn't expect you all to be that weak..."

I look towards the three beastmen with a grin upon my face as i see them charge towards me as i rush forward to meet them as i use my shield to slam into the faces of the beasts puncturing them with the fangs jutting out of the shield as i grin. I may not have my healing cause i don't have my armor but my battle healing will do. I say softly under my breathe with a smile as i see the other three rush towards me as i use my sword to parry the attacks. Using my sword to intercept the claws to lock them against my sword and push off as i spin around the opponent going along the back of the weredeer and receiving a slash along my chest as i land on the ground nad quickly kick off away from the creatures as the remaining two struck at me. only receiving three small little scratches along my body as i gaze towards the creatures with a very cocky grin appearing on my face.

Wait.. i didn't take any damage! Oh this is going to be so fun! I say cheerfuly as i slam my pommel of my sword against the shield as i look at the beasts with the biggest grin on my face. Oh come on really?! Only three damage you didn't even hurt me! You're attacking a crippled tank and still failing miserably. I say very cheerfully as i activate howl. A loud roar of a beast echoes through the area as i do so as Fonsa seems to freak out and look around for what made the sound. I then spin the sword around in my left hand with a grin on my face as i glance back towards Ruby with a smile. No wonder you DPS love to wear light armor there is so much more room for maneuverability. I say with a chuckle seeming like a child in a candy store with how i am acting.

Ruby had looked back as she had taunted them more by rubbing in their faces how they had done no damage to her, even all three that had still lived together didn't do anything. The three had looked towards her and two of them had moved forward and horribly missed her, however the other one had let out a angered howl and using its weapon he had done a slash hitting Hestia, while doing no damage he took no thorns but also hitting Ruby and Fonsa. Ruby had took a powerful blow and she had moved back a few feet, however she managed to keep her stance, with a bit of a playful annoyed tone she had said to Hestia "Way to have them deal damage to other people..." she had shook her head and slammed her fist activating All Might once more on one of the Beastman having it drop to zero HP and explode into crystals as well.

I look towards the three as the two creatures charge forth as i use my sword to intercept one of the strikes as i lower myself by bending backwards away from the attack as i use my shield to push me away from safety. I then look towards the second that jumps after me as i kick off of him towards the ground as i roll backwards away from the attack with a smile on my face beaming. Getting lost in the excite at having such a wide range of movement for once within my combat options. I then notice the third behind me and already striking both the dark elf and ruby as i curse under my breathe. I quickly move over to try and intervene only to have the beastman rush towards me and past me cutting deep into my chest as he does. I then give ruby a small little glare. How was i suppose to know they would be attacking other people? i wasn't expecting that. I say towards Ruby with a small pout before i charge forward activating my sword art as i move towards the creatures with a grin across my face ready to strike and try to open a opportunity for the Blonde Haired woman to help in killing two at once. I rush towards the weaker one as i start cutting into it rapidly as pay back for it harming the dark elf the target of this mission as i give it a fierce glare. Back! OFF! FROM! MY FAMILY! I roar at it thinking of Ruby when i say family as i then finish the attack with a twirl and diagonal cut and for good measures slams my shield into its face to make it back off.

Ruby had chuckled and said out to her after her response "Well you certainly got them mad enough to want to put harm on all of us." she had looked back to Hestia seeing her pull out her sword for once, and attack the enemy. Ruby had blinked she doesn't remember Hestia being able to produce damage, however it kind of made Ruby feel a little bit worse about her own damage as she isn't especially good at anything... makes her almost want to refund her Searching skill to invest more into her stealth. However the fourth beastman tried to retaliate back, however all he managed to do was take more damage. However the third had went past Hestia and performed another critical strike attack on everyone. Ruby and Fonsa taking another hit they really couldn't take, Ruby had got more worried that we might have the wife perish... Ruby had looked towards the Beastman that critically striked, however it had easily moved out of the attack "This isn't good..." she had mustered out.

I look between the two enemies feeling my blood pressure stop pumping faster as the adrenaline kicks up to high gear as i defend against one attack smashing my shield into the enemy and then the ground as i see the other slip past me again as my eyes widen in fear. No. I say in nothing above a whisper as i see the dark elf get torn to shreds once more along with my big sister as i feel my hand twitch and clench my sword harder as tears stream down my eyes. STOP HURTING THEM! I scream out in anger as i charge towards the one that had hurt you as i zip around them and the other moving as fast as lightning cutting faster and faster leaving marks around the first that had hurt you and the other managing to parry each of my strikes as i get angrier and angrier. STOP DODGING ME! I say in complete frustration not wanting to see anybody die right in front of my eyes that was my ally.

Ruby had looked up to Hestia and she had began to attack mostly in anger, even attacking with a AoE to try to deal damage to everyone... however the AoE had missed the fourth Beastman, Ruby had panicked and attacked the 3rd Beastman. However she had missed terribly and fell onto the ground, Ruby had looked up at the third as he moved his staff upward to strike down however it had slipped out of its hands and fell to the ground. However... the fourth's eyes had grown red as he had noticed Fonsa's HP dangerously low, he had charged up an attack and moved past Hestia and attacked both Ruby and Fonsa. Ruby moved back a few more feet and Fonsa's HP had hit 0. Ruby had looked over to the wife as her body had began to glow "No..." Ruby had exclaimed out, and with a explosion Fonsa disappeared to nothing her ring still remaining as it fell onto the ground creating a metallic sound hitting the ground till it sat still on the ground.

I look back as i go stock still as i watch what just happened. My mind reeling back at seeing this occur as my eyes begin to water as i say in barely above a whisper that slowly turns into a shout. No..no..no.no.no.no.nononono.NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! i scream out as i power my strongest sword out as tears stream down my face as i charge forward going to impale this mob right upon my blade. I go to strike the creature as it grabs my sword instead as the wolf like creature glares down at me as he then throws me away as i land upon the ground upon my back as i just lay there just crying. 'I failed.. i failed to protect someone. They're dead because i was to weak...to weak to stop them from dying right in front of my eyes. How am i going to explain this to him...how..how can i be sure i protect anyone if i can't protect a simple NPC.' I think in absolute despair as i just lay upon the ground in defeat  What use am i...i failed. I whisper out in a choked up voice as tears run down my face even faster as i ignore the two beastmen that are probably making there way up to me to try and kill and fail to do so since i have more defense then they do offense.

I just stare blankly up at the sky imagining Spencer or Kimi within the place of the NPC. Myself being forced to go back to try and explain to Jomei and Tel how i messed things up. How i failed to protect my two precious guildmates from death... 'How can i be sure i won't be a repeat failure.' I think to myself as i move my sword and shield to look at my hands.

Ruby had looked up as Hestia had went a little bit more upset that what she had ever imagined, Ruby had blinked a few times... she was just more so upset that they had failed the mission of bring her back safely, however RNG just wasn't kind with us today and granted them too many critical hits. Ruby had gotten up from the ground and watched tears flow down her face and hearing some bitter words to herself falling to the ground... there was definitely something she just didn't understand from this, and Ruby tried to think of something to say to make things better. As the beastman 4 attacked Hestia Ruby had walked over and picked up the ring, Ruby had inspected it and then placing it into her palm, looking up she had seen that the beastman all it had accomplished was killing itself. Ruby had looked toward the last Beastman and punched it right in its head dealing a lot of damage towards it. Ruby had looked back to Hestia and said "Stop speaking and thinking such nonsense, there was nothing you could do and RNG was on their side. Stop hitting yourself when you had absolutely no control, and don't make me come over there to snap you out of it, you wont like what I could do."

I look towards the last remaining beastman as i slowly force myself off of the ground having a look of absolute vengeance and anger shining within my eyes as i get into the beginning stance of the sword art as i look towards the creature. I then shoot of towards it as i start cutting into it with rapid swift strikes over and over again even as its health reaches zero as i end it with a swift decapitation. I look at my sword and sheathes it within its holder as i glance over towards you. still looking rather upset about this whole ordeal as i feel my familiar nudge me ever so slightly as i just shake my head no to him as i glance towards the ruined tower where it possibly once stood proudly. sniffling ever so slightly as i feel utterly exhausted, but i force myself to remain standing as punishment for failing at being able to protect someone. You don't understand Ruby. You say that it was some random RNG thing, but what if that was Spencer. What if that was Kimi, Tel, Jomei, or anyone i was meant to protect with my life! I say with my voice starting off somber and quite, but as i talk switching to frustrated and growing louder as i turn to look you in the eyes. I..would've just let them die in front of me. How would i explain that when i would have to go back. Tell Jomei i failed to protect Spencer, failed to protect Kimi, or heaven forbid failed to protect Tel...what would i say..Huh? I failed today because i failed to be a tank. I failed to protect what i am meant to protect. I got wrapped up and cocky about being some DPS user because of this stupid sword and outfit! What if this was one of our family members I say angrily as my hands tighten into a fist applying quite a bit of pressure. Angry at myself, and only on myself not at the game at all and what it setup.

Ruby had watched Hestia strike down the last Beastman with a sword art of her own, however she had gotten back to her upset tone, Ruby had listened to her and before long she had stepped up and pulled Hestia for a hug. "Look... we just failed to save a already hurt NPC, I am sure Kimi and Spencer as time progresses there wouldn't be much to protect. You did the best you could and you cannot control other tricks and abilities that monsters have against us. Luck just wasn't on our sides today and we had failed to save her is all... you shouldn't beat yourself up too much about it." she had patted her head and rubbed her head roaming her fingers through her hair. However after a moment she had said to her "Well... we have to finish what we've started and return an item, afterward we just gotta press on and fight off all the bad vibes, is that fine with you?" she had asked her with a smile.

I warp my arms around the blonde haired girl and hugs her back tightly as i start tearing up once more and tears slowly start falling once more. My hands clenching against any fabric they can grab along your back. My shoulders rising and falling ever so slightly in a erratic manner from the crying and shaky breathes of trying to get myself under control. I feel ruby's hand run through my hair as i slowly calm down from the small gesture. After awhile i slowly let go of the hug and backs away wiping my face of tears with my golden cloak as i sniffle softly as i look towards the ground. My familiar Kuro nudging my leg softly as i give a sad smile towards him as my only response. I then slowly look up into your eyes and just gives a slow nod of my head as i glance towards the ring upon the ground taking some slow steps as i reach down and grab the small metal object. I feel myself tear up as i clench the ring tightly within my hand as i say in a soft and broken voice. Lets just head back ruby. We have quite a walk ahead. I say softly as i keep my head low trying to hide the tears that are falling freely. Imagining this ring as Tel's, Jomei's, or Itzal's. Knowing that such a possibility could happen in a floor boss if i was just as much as a failure i was today.

Ruby had looked to Hestia as she had backed from from the hug, but had noticed that she had still been tearing up and replied with a bit of a broken voice, Ruby had felt a little bad though... even though she just couldn't quite get the connection of losing a already almost dead NPC to a player... however she could see some connections and she had thought that it would be best to just not interfere with it. Ruby had kept the ring in the palm of her hand clutching onto it hoping that she wouldn't see it and get any more bad vibes from it, heading back out and back into the wastelands she had looked to Hestia and said "Maybe it would be best for me to report it myself, I don't think you are quite in a place emotionally where you could do so." she didn't really have much of a sweet tone, it was more... concerned? As she just wanted her to feel a lot better than what she had been feeling however, she knew she just couldn't help the mood or at least she just failed to see how she could make it any better.

I look towards Ruby and shakes my head no to her words as i look her in the eyes even if mine still look like they are filled with misery and sadness. No...no i have to be there when we tell him. I am the reason why she died, and thus it is also my responsibility to inform him and to be there for when we give the ring to him. As a tank i am responsible for all lives within my group. I say towards the blond haired healer before i start making my way back towards the staircase from where we had come from as my familiar flies ahead giving my face a gentle nuzzle when flying past as i just pat him on his side to give thanks. I take slow careful steps through the rubble as i move through my menu and swaps my golden cloak for a black one as i just lift the hood of it up to cover my face. I just make my way towards the destination like a robot with how slow each step is as i make my way towards where the quest tells us to go. 'How can i get any better from where i am at? I..i need to somehow be able to match people like Shield and Zandra. Zandra can heal more then i can..and Shield can just be a better tank then i am. I need to beat those two somehow. I need to surpass those two to prove that i can still be useful.' I think to myself as i clench my hands together with a burning determination in my eyes to somehow surpass the two that won't ever be possibly to do unless i can get my hand on the perfect sets of unique items that i can grab. That nothing less then achieving perfection will stop me from slowly killing myself once more from how much i push myself to improve.

Ruby had blinked a few times saying out to her "You aren't the reason to why she died, again you couldn't control what tricks that they had up their sleeves, your Howl only works for normal attacks and you cant block them from attacking with a Area of Effect. Could you please stop talking such nonsense?" she had asked with a bit of a annoyed tone as she had continued to state that it was her own fault. She had felt a little nervous and concerned, however she just needs to get through her mind she cannot stop area of effects, especially when its someone we couldn't heal. When it comes to actual players she would be able to do a better job especially with first aid, but when its against all odds, it makes Ruby a little mad that she continues to accept that its her own fault. However she had just sighed and kept moving forward to the staircase, walking down back into the underdark where the rest of the dark elves had stayed below the surface.

I just glance towards Ruby and shakes my head thinking she doesn't understand at all about what is going on with myself. 'She views this in the way of just game mechanics wise and straight forwardness. There is more to this then just that simple element.' I think to myself with a frown and shakes my head knowing that there is more i could've done to prevent this from happening. That i could've prepped with more buffs beforehand, that i could've gotten more information by going to HIkoru and asking for some help by having his information brokers help out. Since i didn't now there is a wife dead because of my own failure to protect her till the end like i should've done as a tank and a healer of somebody. That there could be more enemies in the future that could have weird conditionals that could kill somebody within only a few strikes if it is some weird poison mechanic that would kick in that could maybe kill somebody with only a few moves and have them die because i couldn't stop it that way by not getting enough information. The unknown and my inability to strike hard enough killed somebody today.

I make my way down the stairs towards the underdark as i make my way towards the main settlement just being silent the entire time through not wishing to say a word having caught on rather easily that my words which sound right to myself are annoying to you. my familiar glances up to me and nudges me every now and then and i would only give him a pat or two for his attempts for at least trying to cheer me up with what he can do.
