✧ TAKAMAGAHARA SOUTH 2 ✧

In the Southern Wing of Takamagahara

A fever dream. That was what anyone that ended up in the southern wing of Takamagahara would believe they'd entered. Pools of swirling acid in purples and greens, windows holding back massive aquariums of the same and a variety of rickety balconies, thoroughfares and fences combined to make navigating the place akin to getting through a maze.

Through the combined efforts of many combatants a foothold had been secured but the threat was far from over. Above an acid lake criss crossed with a variety of rusty bridges in all shapes, sizes and directions hung an ominous confluence of energies.



The peace would not last long. As a chill continued to run through every person present the Guardian Nomu hanging motionlessly in the air pointed its red staff at the colorful phenomenon.

"consurge et progredi" its voice was loud and yet hung in the air like a soft whisper as the confluence collapsed in on itself like a black hole, shrinking all the way down into the shape of a person. For the briefest moment it would resemble the Enlightened, Hiro Atsumura, before further shifting into its final form. From the top of the Nomu's head streams of color erupted upwards into the air, a veritable cacophony of shades crafting a massive rainbow above it.

It peacefully floated in place for but the barest moment before all hell broke loose. 

A vigilante with a rocket leg quirk had been waiting for the threat to manifest and shot right at it the moment it finished forming. In the blink of an eye the Nomu vanished and reappeared outside of the vigilante's reach, only a GREEN glow hanging in its place, one much like the dozens of orbs that now floated over the lake. 

A WHITE shimmer covered the Nomu and suddenly its actions shifted. It knew its opponent now. Both his strengths and weaknesses. 

Teleporting behind the vigilante's back a RED glow became visible around its arm while it swooshed it through the area that occupied one of the man's knees. Space bent and twisted, throwing off his flight and sending him careening. That wasn't the worst of it however. Where the Nomu's arm had passed through the knee and disconnected it entirely space had not snapped it back into place. It had been severed entirely.

YELLOW cubes fired and met the man mid-flight disintegrating him entirely until naught remained. 

Three seconds. That was all the fight had taken. For another moment the Nomu hung motionlessly in the air. Then its head turned towards the next combatant. The battle was on. 



[THREAD MODIFIER ACTIVATED: INVIGORATION BUFF!]

Mod Note: Hi all! Until said otherwise, there is a buff due to the presence of the 'Guardian' in which, for Super Moves the drawbacks are recovered from quickly, which ultimately allows more liberal use of Super Moves

OOC: Welcome to one of the dynamic opens for the Takamagahara event! Please read the information found [here] to find out how this works. For anyone who plans to join a different thread, make sure to update staff so we can update the [masterlist found here!]. This thread is a direct continuation of [this one] however you do not need to read said thread to understand what is going on. 

As for how this will work after a few rounds or whenever staff finds it appropriate, we'll pop into the opens with a small update post! It's very important to remember that this is a WAR, which means no one should find themselves as the "main character" or solve all the events in these threads within a single post. Please be considerate of your fellow RPers, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

A full explanation of the five Quirks possessed by The Enlightened Perfected is here: 

SPOILER: Click to show

Red: The space around it bends causing physical projectiles and energy alike to go around it. Should this 'bend' entirely cover a connection between two things and pass it said connection is severed (be this a sword blade, limb or anything else). 
White: Can recognize and identify anything coming within a specific radius of it. This lets the Nomu learn combat relevant information and respond accordingly.
Green: Creates an anchor point in space. Touching anything with its hand switches the location of it and the anchor. The Nomu can use this to instantly teleport itself as well.
Yellow: Fires cubic projectiles that disintegrate anything they touch on an atomic level. Unblockable but only move a set distance.
Flight: Can fly freely.

[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]RØUND 2?  I CALL SHENANIGANS!  [attr="class","rhythm"] After having brought some peace to the area, of course things take for the worse.  He hadn't noticed from the first Noumu he took down, but with the second one that the weird eye guy had taken down the coloration of the monstrosity seemed to dissipate.  In fact, the lights had seemed to manifest into some sort of tangible aura, floating to a convergence and then at the behest of some odd voice.  The Noumu would seem to shimmer between an odd visage that Yusuke didn't recognize (He had no knowledge of who Hiro Atsumura was), but it was concerning to see an actual human face to this creature's appearance before it burst apart into a golden orb or colors. "Oooooh," Yusuke would double check the arms that he snagged from the yellow Noumu he disintegrated, finding them lifeless and almost chalky with how they were crumbling apart.  Whatever power they once held was gone, and any reason to keep them gone as well. Dumping the arms, he would turn to face this far off Noumu that was jumped by a rag-tag group of vigilantes.  And one by one this creature would demonstrate abilities that weren't just similar to the four other individual monsters before it, but literally possessing all of its powers. "Alright, this is cheating.  Verifiable, Certifiable cheating!" MØNSTERBAT bemoaned with a foot stomp, knowing that it took him everything to force the yellow Noumu into submission and back the green one into a corner alongside Raiden for the final moment assist.  Now it also had that weird space warping power and that identification power the white one had. "Okay, let's take it from the top," MØNSTERBAT announced once again, as his original plan would continue as originally conceived.  "Guys, I'll continue getting its attention and drawing fire from those yellow cubes.  If y'all got plans to deal with it, BY ALL MEANS!"  His exasperation came from exhaustion more than anything, as it took so much out of the vigilante to avoid getting obliterated by those yellow cubes.  So taking to the skies once more, the Bat Man would resume flying around and above the Enlightened Noumu.  Just drawing its attention as the White Light would start to identify the bat's capabilities, and started to shoot off a barrage of yellow cubes in the air.  Yusuke could definitely hear it as he swerved around these cubes, the shots were far, far more accurate thanks to the WHITE SCANNING Shimmer.  He hoped he wasn't the only one fighting this thing, because this definitely wasn't something he could take on his lonesome.  But he had to do what a hero had to do, it's the right thing after all.

The path was clear. Finally, Elias could carve his path through the facility and find its beating heart. If not Elementalist, surely some of the man's research might be found. The Wish-Maker's entourage marched. He still had one of Ouroboros's scales and two mercenaries. The others, including the moronic yet incredibly useful Rem, had been scattered or gone entirely. Elias wasn't entirely sure.

It didn't matter now. All that mattered was the exit. How far from the opposite end of the bridge could it be? 

His hopes were dashed by iridescent light. A luminous glow that shone through the impossibly large "room," if it could be called that. Elias turned too late to see its previous identity. He only saw the creature it had become—and the slaughter that followed. 

"Hope, the cruelest mistress," he murmured, wearing a scowl. 

With Rem gone, there was no shutting the thing's powers, or at least one quirk down. The scale at his side was well-trained but lacked any meaningful firepower. And the mercenaries possessed only simple quirks. Clawed digits and fire fists. Only useful in close range, and judging by the Nomu's abilities, close range wouldn't truly be an option. 

Long-range incineration, teleportation, flight, spacial severance, plus whatever quirk that alabaster creature held. It was some conglomeration of the felled beasts. But that bit of insight didn't do much now. 

The bat held its attention, but for how long? Furthermore, what could his little group contribute to the fight? Did they have to fight? Was a continued retreat an option? 

"Spread out. Look for anything the rats had hidden on this side of the bridge. We can't cause enough damage at range, and it could destroy us up close. Maybe our rodent friends here had something else in store that we could put to use," he ordered. 

The scale was armed with an assault rifle, and Elias grabbed at his pistol, but firing now would most likely only draw the Nomu their way. A few bullets weren't likely to put the beast down. Fate-Weaver's "threaded coffin" might do some damage if he could hold the creature in place, but with the red and green quirks, that too wasn't likely. They needed more options. ASAP.
