[F09;SP] Hunting the Hellstorm


Recommended Posts

The ping drew her eyes to her left, the flashing indication of a message pulling her attention away from the meal she'd been working on mere seconds ago. She hadn't been expecting any messages - although, who ever was? Curiosity overcoming her, she flicked open the indicator and let her eyes roam over the transmission. 

A field boss...unique consumable...only obtainable by defeating the boss? She'd heard rumours about these field bosses before - she'd even faced a few previously. They had never been easy, back then she'd been weaker. Nothing like she was now. She closed the message, the unknown sender not bothering her in anyway like it had once done. Might be worth trying...

"Think it's worth it?" She glanced down at the kitsune, her new companion staring back expectantly. She wasn't sure what she was expecting, but the kitsune seemed ready to go - ready to follow her lead.

"Think what's worth it...?" The sound of the blonde's voice caught Nari's attention, and she turned to find her friend standing in the doorway. "Heading somewhere...?"

Nari's entire body spun as she jumped, not realising that Onóra was behind her, or even awake. The small yelp likely didn't help, and as she turned to face the blonde, Nari could see the creeping of a smile crossing the other's face - taking pleasure in having startled the normally calm warrior, most likely. Shaking off the embarrassment, she answered Onóra's question, pretending to dust off her clothes in a dramatic effort even as she did so.

"I got some intel about a field boss that might have something of worth...figured I'd go check it out and see if there's any truth behind it." She glanced up at her friend, an innocent expression on her face even as she tried to pretend like it was nothing. "I should be back in an hour or so. Hopefully not even that long, I mean it's a lower level field boss...probably not even going to be a challenge at all!"

The grin quickly died away as the blonde regarded her with a cold expression. Nari knew what was coming next, and braced herself - knowing full well that she was about to receive a lecture on sneaking out, and telling others where she was going. She had been alone for far too long, and old habits were hard to break, after all. Wait, this is my house anyways. If I want to sneak out, there shouldn't be any concerns with that-

"Alright, I'll get my coat and then we can go." Nari opened her mouth to argue, to explain the thought she had just had, and how she didn't need to tell anyone else where she was going, even if they were going to worry. Her mouth snapped shut as the words caught up with her mind, and she suddenly realised that Onóra was turning to grab the coat that was hung beside the door. She blinked a few times, her mouth opening slightly as she tried to process what was happening, before she managed to get out a single question.

"What...?" Her confusion must have been obvious - both in the tone of her voice, as well as the expression on her face. Onóra suddenly burst out laughing, leaning Nari only more confused as she tried to figure out exactly what was happening. 

"I said...I'm coming with you. Come on, let's go." Before Nari could argue, she was being dragged out the door and into the ever-twilight of the twenty-seventh floor, her friend pulling her along towards the main roadway.

"Hey...hey wait! Aren't you...what's...what's going on here?" She didn't resist being pulled, couldn't have even if she wanted to do so. Onóra didn't stop, didn't look back as Nari questioned her, simply continuing to drag the purple-haired woman towards the main court and the teleporter platform there. Nari was amazed, in truth, at the strength and will of the blonde - a far cry different person than the one she had known previously; one who wouldn't have considered grabbing Nari and leading her out of the house and away.

"We're going to hunt down a field boss, isn't that what you wanted to do?" She didn't stop, didn't look back. Just kept dragging towards the teleporter, clearly not concerned whether Nari was coming willingly or not. Huffing to herself, Nari let the blonde drag her right up onto the platform itself, before driving her heels in. Onóra suddenly jolted, Nari's strength bringing her to an unexpected stop. As much as the blonde had grown, Nari still out levelled her - clearly - which left no question of strength between the two of them.

"Alright...fine. But you're playing support, and doing what I direct. Got it?" The affirmative came without hesitation, causing only more confusion for Nari, before she nodded in return. "Okay...uhm...fine. Let's...let's go then. Err...Floor Nine."



Why is this place so fucking hot? Even with the lighter armour, Nari found herself sweating against the heat. The nineth had always been uncomfortable to her, especially so when she had previously worn only heavy armour. Although it wasn't anywhere near as bad now, she still hated the place - the way it caused her to feel like she was literally melting. Couldn't have put it somewhere nicer, less...boiling. Stupid game.

There was no point arguing it, however. She knew that they would have only one option here - which was to suffer through the blistering heat in order to make their way towards the thing that she wanted - a consumable that would increase the damage she could deal in a fight. Something well worth getting her hands on, for the upcoming floor boss fight that she knew they would eventually stumble upon.

"You just...had to pick this floor, right?" Nari took solace in the fact that she wasn't the only one suffering from the heat. Onóra seemed as uncomfortable as she herself was, the blonde irritable and clearly regretting the choice to come along - but refusing to turn back, no matter how Nari prodded. A shrug was all the blonde got in response, Nari conserving her energy for the coming fight. She knew that the thing should be around here, somewhere. Now was just the matter of finding it.

The two had already made their way up the small, volcanic mountain that had been the destination that Nari had been given. The heat from the flowing rivers of lava - passing them on each side - had only made the natural uncomfortable location of floor nine even worse. The kitsune, thankfully, seemed to tolerate the heat far better than Yuki had ever done, a small blessing that Nari was grateful for - even if she herself was having to suffer. She had always hated having to drag Yuki along, knowing how badly the fox had suffered for it.

"We're almost there...right? Like, how hard could it be...to find a freaking phoenix..." Nari had filled the blonde in about their prey during their climb, explaining the information that she'd received from the broker. How it would adjust their own stats in order to bring balance to the fight, in a way. Not that she felt it would effect much - they'd be well ahead of the phoenix in skill alone, or so she hoped. Only time would tell for sure, though.

She was about to answer, when movement to her left caught her eye - an explosion of lava bursting into the air from the river it had belonged to only seconds before. Something about the shape, and the way it flew drew Nari's attention towards it, watching as it seemed to slowly fall towards the ground below it, leaving behind...

"Left...we just found out prey." Her scythe swirled behind her as she readied herself, smiling as she realised that they'd managed to stumble upon the field boss entirely by accident. "Ready for this?"

Her first strike went wide, forcing the phoenix towards the blonde. Nari watched as Onóra side stepped the bird, driving her blade at its side and forcing it off to the side again. Her attack had come instinctively, and Nari couldn't help but be impressed with the way in which their movements were almost synchronised. It felt like they'd been on the battlefield together, learning from one another, for a long time. 

"Drive it towards me...I'll stun it!" She called out as she rushed off towards the phoenix's right, her scythe tailing behind her with the blade held outwards. Without a word, Onóra rushed towards the phoenix from the opposite side, her strikes short and careful, feints designed to drive the phoenix away from Onóra's direction and towards Nari.

She kicked the haft of her scythe, forcing the weapon into a twirling arc and letting the force of its own momentum drive it into a deadly dance. The weapon's tip slammed into the phoenix as it tried to flee Onóra, driven right into Nari's path and strike. She watched in satisfaction as the phoenix recoiled, only to stop moving as the stun effect took over. 

Jumping backwards, she called out, keeping her eyes on the creature for any signs that it was beginning to move. "Careful...they're always dangerous once it wears off!"

They had already taken a strong lead against the phoenix, the two managing to drive it exactly where they needed it to be to strike it best. Between the two of them, they were dancing circles around the phoenix. Nari was feeling confident, almost sure of their success against it. Even with the reduction of their capabilities, the balancing that had brought down their normal strength on par with the phoenix itself.

"So far...so good. Just gotta keep it up, keep driving it backwards!" Her voice carried a level of elation at their success. A smile spread across her face in response to the entire situation. Even in her best dreams, Nari hadn't expected it to be going this well.

"Go left...I'll drive it towards you..." Onóra called out. Nari didn't wait, didn't hesitate, rushing off towards the direction that Onóra had directed her. The scythe trailed behind her, held at the ready as she rushed to intercept the phoenix, rushed to meet it at the trap that Onóra was setting for it.

It had worked, mostly. The phoenix had flown straight towards Nari, right into the reach of her scythe. The blade tore through the outer flames, driving across the flesh that barely existed beneath the flames that made up the form of the flame based bird. There was a single moment where Nari felt that elation again, that brief feeling of happiness at her success. 

"HA! This isn't going to be har-" The flames erupted outwards, slamming into Nari's for and throwing her across the rock and ground, leaving her rolling in the dirt as the flames burned into her. She screamed as her mind filled in the pain she should be feeling, the pain of the flames tearing through her body and burning away her skin. 

Before she knew it, the pain was gone, the phoenix hovering above her, staring at her. Nari could feel the heat coming off it, rippling through the air and beating down upon her. The blistering heat nothing compared to the burning she'd felt seconds ago, when the flames had ripped across her.

Nari rolled off to her left, dodging the claws of the phoenix as she leapt back to her feet. The creature shrieked, its attention entirely on her as it tried to turn itself and keep its eyes on Nari. Its focused entirely on Nari, the creature never noticed as Onóra made her way up behind it, her longsword slashing into the flames and tearing through the creature.

Another shriek, and the thing was driven backwards, the blade of the blonde biting into it and causing it to flee a small distance. Giving time for Nari and Onóra to steady themselves, to recenter their combative stances. The fight had been going well thus far, even though Nari had taken a beating. Already her health was starting to recover, starting to recover.

The phoenix didn't retreat far, hovering over the lava river for a few seconds. Nari and Onóra waited, watching the creature in the distance, preparing for its return. Nari held her scythe steady, angled slightly in preparation. Her foot hovered, ready to kick the bottom of the haft, to get the spin started.

They'd gotten into the rhythm of the fight quickly, the two parrying the talons of the phoenix all while driving it backwards, forcing it into the corner they wanted to trap it in. The bird barely stood a chance, their weapons tearing into the flames and flesh beneath, unrelenting in their consistent assault. Shrieks of pain, frustration and fury erupted from the bird - not that it did any good against the blonde and purple-haired women. Nari couldn't help but see the beauty in their dance, a dance deadly for those who stood before them, as their current movements were proving. 

"On your left!" Onóra warned her about the bird's attempt to shift away, failing as Nari drove it back towards her companion with a wide swing of her scythe, the weapon missing but pushing it away from its attempted avenue of escape. She watched as Onóra rushed to meet it, her longsword held sturdy in two hands as she parried a single strike, before countering and tearing a piece out of the bird. Nari saw her opportunity, leaping forward towards it and activating the sword art she'd had on hold, her scythe slamming into the side of the phoenix and causing the bird to lock up as the stun effect took hold.

At once, the two jumped backwards, giving space to the bird while they took a breath. Onóra's voice came first, a hint of elation to it as she breathed quickly from the exertion. "I think...we're pissing it off a bit. But look! We're almost done here..."

Nari nodded, but didn't share the excitement. Supposedly, the thing would recover ever so slightly once they had defeated it - and already her energy was taxing. She needed to focus on recovery, not just surviving. A quick twist of the bracelet, and Nari felt the trinket activating on her wrist, the enhancements coming to life.

Progress. They were almost there, Nari could see the creature faltering as the static shock coursed through its body. The shriek that came from it causing it to retreat, rather than press its own attack against them. She threw a grin at Onóra, the blonde returning the expression as the two of them exhaled slightly. The fight was far from over, but they'd already done so much - made so much progress. It wouldn't be wasteful to take a single second to reconcile, to enjoy the moment. 

"Come on...we're almost there...let's drive this thing into the flames of the river, before it can rebirth!" Nari called out to the blonde, before rushing towards the phoenix. She wanted to end this fight, wanted to get the item and be gone - it had already gone on longer than she liked. Not that she was entirely upset, the exercise, the ability to get out and do something was enjoyable enough. But the danger that came with it still had her worried.

"On your right!" Onóra rushed past in a blur, the woman far faster than Nari. Her longsword came up, slamming into the side of the phoenix and driving it towards Nari. Setting her feet, she gave the haft of the scythe a quick kickstart, forcing it into a wild spin, arcing it around her and using the momentum to drive the weapon into a whirlwind of blades and death. Smile upon her face, she rushed forward to meet the phoenix, ready to deliver another deadly blow to the thing.

Another shriek as it felt the biting blade of Nari's scythe, the weapon tearing a portion of the wing off and forcing the phoenix to the ground. Nari leapt backwards, clearing the space between her and it, as it began thrashing around. The beak snapped, trying to catch anything in front of it as its fury and frustration came out - the pain it was feeling, or programmed to feel, driving it into an almost animalistic response. She could see Onóra on the other side, longsword at her side and ready, but distance kept between herself and the bird.

"On three...rush it - it can't take on both of us, and it's almost done!" The health bar of the creature was low, already in the red zone - barely visible as the two continued to drain it. She took one last look at Onóra, saw the woman nod in agreement and understanding, before she was moving forwards. Her scythe began spinning again as she came closer and closer to the phoenix, driving it backwards towards the lava river it had erupted from early, trying to force it towards the blonde. 

A dangerous manoeuvre, but one that Nari was confident could be handled by her companion. She was far more skilled than Nari had expected, almost as if she was an entirely different person. Perhaps she is, or perhaps you're finally seeing her capabilities. Either way, she can handle herself. Her blade slammed off the side of the phoenix - causing no damage, but forcing the creature towards Onóra again, the blonde pressing in from the other side in a flurry of blade herself. "I got this!"

Onóra's blade drove through the phoenix, and for a brief second Nari wondered if it would simply end here, the creature exploding into the shards that would announce that they had defeated it. Her hopes, however, didn't last long. Instead the phoenix exploded into a burst of fire - not harming either of the two, but also signifying to Nari that the fight wasn't yet over. She spun around, watching as the flames landed on the ground a few steps away, before beginning to reform themselves.

"Huh...I thought we got this..." Onóra seemed to hesitate for a single second, before she took up her guard stance one more - not questioning what was occurring, even as the bird reappeared and its health bar began to rise once more. "Round two, I guess."

"Ashborn...it, uh...recovers a portion of its health one time. Now, we can kill it completely." Nari shifted herself to Onóra's left side, careful to keep her scythe out of her friend's way even as she moved. The two waited, patiently, while the bird reformed - both knowing they couldn't harm it in this transformation even if they wanted to. As it shrieked back into life, the two moved as one, rushing forwards towards it as it signalled its return to the world and the battle itself.

Surprise. They'd entirely managed to take the thing by surprise, their combined attack - coming from each side of the creature - had caught it unawares, unable to respond or retreat as the two blades drove into its body. Nari's scythe cut through the defences, leaving the bird open for Onóra's own strike. Both blades slamming into it, tearing into the health and driving the bar down once more before the two women stepped back from the creature and re-centered themselves. 

"Almost there...few more strikes and this thing should be down for good." Nari spoke through gritted teeth, the length of the conflict beginning to wear on her. They had already gone on far longer than she liked - but she knew that this was nothing. How long do the boss fights last? Ten minutes? Twenty? An hour. This is nothing, we can do this!

"It's...holy hells I'm tired...it's starting to realise it's losing, I think...' Nari glanced at Onóra as the woman spoke - her longsword was held loosely, a clear sign that her friend was starting to feel the exhaustion from their fight. 

"Almost there...we can do this..." The words were mumbled, just loud enough for Onóra to hear. Nari had no doubt about their ability to end this, her scythe weighing heavily in her hand. Glancing at the phoenix, Nari decided to try something she hadn't yet - fighting fire, with fire. I mean, why not? What's the worst that could happen...

"Ha...ha!" Nari sighed as the phoenix exploded into shards, leaving only a dialogue message with her reward for all her work. She closed out the box, before letting herself sink to the ground. The fight had taken a lot out of her, and for the moment Nari wanted nothing more than to lay on the ground and fall asleep; heat be damned. Instead, she forced herself into a seated position, trying to regulate her breathing like she'd done so often before.

"Okay...that was...that was intense..." Onóra's voice sounded as winded as Nari felt, the blonde kneeling beside her. The longsword had been sheathed, and Onóra's left hand rested on the ground close to Nari. She stared at it for a few seconds, as if considering it, before reaching out and grasping it. Onóra's eyes shifted towards Nari, no sign of surprise or concern, but the emerald colours resting on her face in question.

"Thanks...for your help. And for being there for me." She kept her gaze on Onóra's, the moment seeming to come to a stop as they stared at each other.

A few breaths later, and Nari forced her gaze away, looking out across the lava rivers beyond. She was tired, but she knew after a while they'd have recovered enough to carry on - either back towards home with prize in hand, or perhaps for a bit more looting. She was just about to open her mouth, to ask Onóra, when the blonde beat her to the question. "So, do we head home - or do we push our luck. This thing should respawn after a while, right? We can try some smaller groups until it's back. Then kick its butt again."

Nari nodded, content with the idea, before leaning back against a rock. For now, she needed to recover herself, and then they'd focus on clearing out a few areas.

"Yeah, yeah...a bit more, if you're up for it? Would be a shame to come all this way and not take advantage of everything." There were numerous groups of elementals and vultures nearby, the groups shifting around the lava rivers and pools in a pattern that Nari couldn't make any sense out of from where she was. "For now though I just want to lay here a while and maybe stop dying a bit."

"Mmm...yeah a bit of resting is...yeah, I'm all for that." The response came, the voice sounding as tired as Nari was feeling. She laid back against a nearby rock, letting her head rest against it. She wondered at how even the rock basked in heat, burned ever so slightly to the touch before it became nothing more than an uncomfortable warmth against her artificial skin. "Gods its so hot here..."

"Hot. Yeah, stupidly hot...it's why I hate this floor..." Nari sighed, considering again whether or not they they should head home or keep hunting. There were pros and cons to each side, benefits to staying and going - but risks, as well. She weighed all of it in her mind as she laid against the rock, considering each option thoroughly - something that Aincrad had taught her to do, thoroughly.

After a while, Nari pushed herself up off the ground, realising that they couldn't stay there forever. Onóra glanced up at her, before pulling herself up and stepping up beside Nari. "Shall we?"

The longsword was in her hand again, held in a comfortable manner that bespoke someone who was used to wielding it. Nari took a single glance at the sword, before making up her mind. It would be a shame to come all this way...even with the danger. Besides, a few basic mobs shouldn't be a problem, not here...

"Yeah, let's get this done. Sooner we clear this area, sooner we can face that thing again. Then maybe go home and sleep for a few days." She flashed a grin at Onóra, before stepping off towards the nearest mob, her scythe tailing behind her in the typical ready stance. She figured after this much grinding, she'd need a day or two away, just to let herself recover from the exhaustion. Earn it first, then.

The vultures made it easy, turning to face the two charging women as they approached. Nari didn't waste time, splitting off to the left side of the group to give herself an angle before pushing off and twisting her body, letting her spin continue to carry her forward momentum, and loosing her grip on the scythe ever so slightly to stop it from being entirely rigid.

She felt, and saw, as the blade slammed into two of the vultures, sending them careening to the ground to lay stunned for the moment, before her weapon continued through and sliced the final two. She stepped back then, letting her weapon carry itself back into the ready position behind her back, watching as the four creatures health bars dropped significantly.

"So much easier than the phoenix..." She smiled at the blonde, who returned the gesture, both standing at the ready as they waited for the bird's to level themselves out. Neither one willing to approach before they were sure of the situation.

Nari sighed as the first group of vultures disappeared, blowing into shards and drifting on the fake wind for a single moment. She turned to face Onóra with a grin, before waving a hand at the next group. "Alright...easy pickings around here, yeah? Should we continue a bit, or are you feeling like we should be done here?"

The blonde stuck her tongue out, before rushing off without a word. Nari shook her head, following a few steps behind Onóra. The second pack - another group of the vultures - seemed to watch their approach, as if trying to anticipate what they would do. Nari had never seen the mobs react differently, or take into consideration the player's actions with another creature, but she wasn't about to rely on that previous experience. Cardinal was ever changing, ever adjusting to their actions.

"Going right...flip pattern." She spoke just loud enough for Onóra to hear her words, before splitting off in the direction she had indicated. The vultures seemed to follow her movements, eyeing her in a way that she didn't like. All the more reason to put them down, then.

Nari's scythe swung through the air, slamming into one, then another of the vultures as she tried to obliterate the group as quickly as possible. She continued her dance of death, letting the blade whirl around her in a dangerous way - but making sure to stay well and clear of her friend.

As the first three quickly fell beneath her blows - the stun effect taking over their bodies and causing them to halt momentarily, Nari turned to find the fourth and final missing from the pack. A curse left her lips as she spun to find it engaged with Onóra, the blonde parrying blow after blow in an attempt to keep it off her. 

Nari's steps had already begun to back track towards the thing, when Onóra called out, her eyes never leaving the vulture as she did so. "I'm fine...focus on finishing them off as quick as we can! I got this one, you get them!"

A breath of pause, and then Nari was turning back to the three she had already hit, knowing that she would have to trust Onóra's skills. She couldn't turn her back towards the three here, without causing more danger to the two of them. End this quickly, go help Onóra. Simple.

The first three exploded in a shower of shards as Nari completed a slide underneath their talons, before bringing the scythe up and around to cleave through the trio all at once. She took a single second to catch her breath, before turning to find the final creature still engaged with Onóra. So far, it looked like the blonde had managed to push back the creature, even going to far as to whittle it down ever so slightly.

"Any day now...would be nice..." The blonde called out, parrying yet another attack before stepping back out of the way of the creature's wing strike. Nari moved slowly, trying to sneak up behind the thing with her scythe at the ready, hoping to catch it by surprise. 

On the other side, seeing what she was doing, Onóra focused on driving towards the vulture again, trying to push it back towards Nari and keep the attention on herself. The longsword in her hand flashed against the light that surrounded them, reflecting the sunlight and the glow from the lava rivers as it bisected the air around it.

Tuning it out, Nari focused on her goal - the vulture itself. She took another soft step, before launching into her attack, kicking the haft of the scythe with a ring, before spinning with the weapon as it twirled around her, bringing it down to bear on the creature as it slowly realised that she was there.
