✧ BOSS BATTLE ✧

Unlike the open area where the first clash of Takamagahara South had taken place, to advance, one needed to take the tunnels. A narrow and claustrophobic tunnel system led deeper into the belly of the beast, ranging from winding passages that could only fit one person at a time, to open caverns with leakage of green and purple acid dripping down from above. Although the journey deeper into Takamagahara was unpleasant there were much worse things lurking in the facility than a little bit of acid and small passages.

Eventually several of the tunnels pointed the same direction, growing so steep that turned into a slide that led out into another big, open area. Some kind of artificial lagoon had been constructed under the sea of acid. Although at a glance it looked very real, sand, pebbles, seashells and all. In the distance, the chorus of men could be heard chanting.

''Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!''

The voices were disembodied and hard to place at first. However, those who were keenly aware of their surroundings were able to spot a tiny speck on the other side of the glass growing bigger. As it approached their location it became clearer and clearer that it was an old, wooden pirate ship. As there was no opening in the glass windows, it seemed like the ship would have nowhere to go, but as it got close enough to the glass it submerged a little further, disappearing from view until it started reemerging inside in the middle of the lagoon of acid. Interestingly, although the ship looked like it was made of wood, there was no sign of wear and tear from the acid it had been diving around in. Perhaps more interestingly, normal ships also didn't grow limbs, but this one did.

A pair of tall, ghostly pale and lanky legs grew out of the bottom of the ship as it slowly rose up to its full 9 foot tall stature. Similarly lanky arms soon followed suit, spindly fingers with long sharp nails cracking and bending in unnatural ways as the thing slowly stretched its whole body out. The figurehead that rested on the front of the ship, its head dejected and eye sockets sunken and dark, suddenly lifted its head up blinking its red, glowing eyes awake as it looked at the three people that had gathered here. With a shaky lower jaw its whole body creaked as it looked like it tried desperately to say something while its cold hands reached for a long, thick metal chain that was hanging over the side of the ship body. With a yank, a heavy anchor dropped out onto the side, making the ground tremble next to it.

''Hah...'' The thing, the ship Nomu breathed. Spinning the chain around it started building up speed as it wound-up the anchor attached to its chain like it was wielding a giant flail. ''Hah-... Hah...'' It continued weakly, before it had fully warmed up its voice. Throwing its whole body into it, it swung the anchor at the two villains and the vigilante, trying to flatten them, shouting what it had been trying to say this entire time.

''AHOY!''

The Shipwreck

TL;DR:
- A tunnel network leads you into an artificial acid lagoon
- A huge Nomu resembling a wooden ship emerges from the acid pool in the center
- Growing long limbs, the Nomu grabs its anchor chain and uses it as a flail, trying to kill all three of you with one swing
- AHOY!

[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]THAT'S CRØSSING A GRAND LINE! [attr="class","rhythm"] As yet another leg of the Takamagahara Raid happened, Yusuke found himself separated from a lot of the groups.  Having had to zip back to the raid base to get a bite to eat and take a leak, he returned and advanced deeper into the area.  The rather topsy-turny nature of the original main area soon narrowed into a labyrinthian rat maze that forced the Puffy Coat wearing Bat-Vigilante to jog on foot.  Taking many different twists and turns, trying to use his own echolocation abilities to find faster ways to cut through the, Yusuke would soon find himself running up to intercept a separate group. Just as he would pick up speed and found himself tumbling down a slide.  "WOoooOoooOooah!" The guy slid and tumbled, holding a hand on his helmet as his adept ears could hear the echoing Heave-Ho's get louder and louder.  Soon sliding down, sprawled on the ground next to several others that would've been spat out in this area.  Blinking behind the darkened visor, Yusuke gritted his teeth whilst doing his best to keep his wits about him. Picking himself up, he found himself in an odd area in which an odd ship was approaching.  "Ah shoot, what's the thing that pirates say upon seeing another ship...." Yusuke muttered to himself whilst dusting off his puffy coat a couple times, before a hand would cup his chin and stroke it in an attempt to goad his memory.  It took him a bit as the ship got closer and closer, snapping his fingers just as the ship was starting to surface from the waters. "SAIL HOOOOO!" MØNSTERBAT Shouted as he pointed at the creepy Monsterboat surfaced, arms and legs growing out of it as it twisted itself into an odd machination of a body.  "Eugh, there ain't a pirate saying for seeing whatever that is," He recoiled in disgust, hand falling down upon realizing that this was about to get ugly, what with the rattling of iron chains pulling an anchor out. "Alright, quick introductions.  MØNSTERBAT, Unlicensed Hero, I can fly and I'm fast as hell.  I'm carrying the two of you, and will do our best to focus on evasion.  Do not struggle," He turned to the two strangers near him, with a chill yet steadfast tone while reaching out to scoop them up.  Attempting to pick Elias up onto his left shoulder and Nox onto his right, the MØNSTERBAT would soon kick off of the ground and let his wings expand freely. Flapping his wings, Yusuke began to take flight as he would fly over the anchor swung at them.  Still doing his best to keep his arms extended so that Elias and Nox could sit rather comfortably along his lanky forearms, the MØNSTERBAT Vigilante would start to circle a decent berth around the Shipwreck Noumu. "Unless one of you can create a Maelstrom Whirlpool to sink this...  Whatever the hell it is, I'm open to ideas and plans!" MØNSTERBAT cheerily tried to converse with his current teammates, using his speeds to try and ensure that this freaky boat couldn't easily pin them down or swat them out of the sky. >> Yusuke as MØNSTERBAT goes through the tunnels and caves, jogging along until tumbling down a slide >> Gives idle banter towards the creature approaching, and realizes that it's a Transformer Noumu Pirate Ship >> Quickly introduces himself to Nox and Elias proper, picks them both up to have them sit on his biceps/arms; before kicking off the floor to fly over the Anchor being swung at them >> Still carrying the two, is open to suggestions while flying in a perimeter around the Shipwreck, arms holding onto Elias and Nox so they don't get flung off as he circles around at a high speed.

[Nox Hattori]

[attr="class","Im"]

[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]Lone Warrior No Longer [attr="class","rhythm"] Nox wasn’t against groups, but working on her own often meant nothing got in her way. For a while that had worked fine here, traversing her way through the strange terrain. Then things went a little downhill, quite literally as the ronin found herself slipping and sliding deeper into the underground than she planned to go. Thankfully the trip ended with no broken bones or anything close. Quick to climb back to her feet, she saw that she was no longer alone. Dressed in a customized mixture of black cloth, leather and armaments, Nox sported both katanas she owned openly with one set at each hip. Hair up partially, she sent an assessing glance to the other two individuals she found herself with. Nothing surprising in this world of quirks and mutations, the two were unfamiliar to her. Head tilted slightly as she regarded them, the first voice she heard was not from either of the strangers. In fact, the voices she heard teased her ears from some distance. Regarding the approaching object, an unnaturally designed boat as it turned out a few moments later, there was nothing about it that led her to believe it meant them nothing but harm. Haunting in its approach and more so in appearance as limbs sprouted from the wood, one hand had already slipped to the hilt of her right blade. Capable of defending herself, Nox knew nothing of her potential associates, but she knew for sure she planned to leave this place alive. Eyes shifting sideways and back to the loud one, the bat with blue hair, she smirked some at his introduction. Unlicensed Hero, huh? That meant a criminal in her world. Told she would be carried and that resistance would only complicate things, she chose to take him for his word for now. The rattling of that chain and the weight behind the anchor attached to it helped convince her this “Monsterbat” was worth betting on. Scooped up into the air, using one hand to grab for him as well, the other remained on her blade. Nothing altered yet, she snorted as he began to zip through the air with the hopes of avoiding the swing of that anchor. Walking on the other side of the law did not mean she was against working with others. ”Nox.” Offering her name in return, she said nothing on her alignment or lack of license. ”I cannot, but if you can get me close enough for my blades to test its durability, I am sure we can find what is most effective against it. My weapons can adapt near endlessly. That being said, I have no desire to be crushed under the weight of that chain.” Smart in her approach to combat, she made no mention of fleeing. That wasn’t her style unless no options remained and even then… Summary -> Nox finds herself down here after having been working on her own. -> Not against teamwork, she keeps the information she shares limited at first. -> Considering that chain and anchor, she is fine with Monsterbat giving her a lift for now -> Shares she is best in close combat and can test for weaknesses -> Nox is definitely down for the fight over flight option (tagged)⏤ Elias - Yusuke Komoriya - Fanthes

The Bird of Hermes is    my name                       Eat  My   WINGS   TO   KEEP   ME   TAME Nox Hattori ,Yusuke Komoriya ,Fanthes ,

What use was an entourage of minions ready to trade blood for money if they weren’t willing (or more realistically able, but we’ll ignore that) to dive down the seven levels of hell for you? Elias’s retinue carved a path through the facility’s pipework labyrinth beyond the caustic sluice, only to separate when Elias fell through a trapdoor. The winding conduit tore at his coat and shifted his owl mask as he banged against its side until, finally, he was deposited, rear first, into the searing lagoon.

“Murphy and his damn laws,” he murmured, picking himself up and dusting his coat his pants.

The Wish-Maker fixed his owl mask into place and set his frosty gaze onto the surroundings. A dreadful haze wafted through the air, and the swamp ahead shared that eerie green glow with the burning lake he had left behind. The stench didn’t help either. Rotten eggs and spoiled meat. Out of the frying pan and into the dumpster it seemed.

And that wasn’t the worst of it.

It wasn’t long before the next threat made itself known. A monster… ghost ship? Another sea beast haunting the ahead. Between the Dream World incident and the island advance, he had the makings of a myth-hunting sailor.

The winding chains did little to deter him. Elias flushed his fingers to his side and stepped ahead. What his quirk lacked in firepower, it made up for in precision, speed, and overwhelming numbers.

“Come on, let’s see what you’ve-”

Before he could finish, the bat person from earlier snatched him up and soared above. Atop the bat, he was joined by someone else, a warrior of some sort judging by her garb. Now that they were airborne, Elias had half a mind to suggest they simply venture for a way out, but the Elementalist wouldn’t offer such trivial means to avoid his purposefully placed obstacles. Turning their back on this thing without knowing the extent of its capabilities would be a mistake. So, once more, he was forced to work with those he knew almost nothing of.

“Djinn.” He said nothing more regarding his identity, “and I’ll make the first move.”

One hand latching onto the bat for balance. The other whipped out ahead. Dozens of razor threads launched from Elias’s fingers and cut through the air. They lashed at the ship from every angle, probing for weakness. Leave the risky and dramatic kill shot to the others. He was comfortable attacking from the relative safety of range.

---

tldr: Elias lost his crew upon arrival to the boss fight. He accepted Monsterbat's help and is now attacking the Ship with threads from several directions, trying to find a weakness for Nox to exploit.

✧ BOSS BATTLE ✧

The anchor landed with a heavy thud, shaking the ground under their feet as the trio took flight. It wasn't until they were in the air and could get a better view of the lagoon, and their surroundings at large, that they would see just how alone they were in this fight. Despite the raid starting out with formidable forces of villains, vigilantes and heroes to fight back against the Elementalist and his Nomu, none of their allies were present here. Were they the first through the tunnels? Or had something happened to the others that had gone on ahead?

''Heave-Ho, Heave-Ho!''

The ship Nomu's wooden body creaked as the chorus of disembodied voices could finally be pinpointed, it was coming from inside its hull. Although they had just taken flight and avoided its attack, the Nomu didn't pursue them. Even when Elias's string attack surrounded it, the Nomu continued to stare ahead. Wood chipped off from its main body, but it was clear that while the Nomu looked like it was mostly made of wood, it was much sturdier. Any of its limbs that got hit by stray attacks would start bleeding a purple liquid from the cuts it sustained.

Its body continued to creak as small openings appeared in the Nomu's body. They were just small holes at first, but small toy-sized cannons soon rolled up to the holes and took aim up at the trio of criminals. ''Kill! Kill! Kill!'' The chorus of voices cried out as they fired their tiny cannons. The cannonballs were equally tiny and because of it, traveled relatively slowly for the first couple of seconds. That is, until they seemed to leave the Shipwreck's sphere of influence, where they suddenly expanded up to a normal size and sped up as a result. With a few cannonballs now headed for the trio, their ability to defend themselves and avoid the incoming projectiles would be put to the test.

While the Nomu attempted to knock them out of the air, its body continued to creak as it finally moved to face its opponents. The underside of what would be its stomach then began to open like the drawbridge to a castle.

''AHOY!'' The Nomu exclaimed again, as the sound of footsteps began shuffling out from within the darkness of its body. Tiny zombie-like pirates then began walking onto the drawbridge before jumping off and onto the sand, growing to the size of a regular person as soon as they landed. ''Kill, Kill, Kill...'' They continued to murmur, one after the other. ''Heave-ho...'' Another chimed in, its voice hoarse.

To anyone who had worked closely alongside others during the first phase of this raid, they would soon realize that these zombie pirates were their allies. Caked in blood and skin graying, like they were slowly decaying with every passing minute, their soulless eyes stared back up at the trio blankly. Their bodies looked slack and weak, and yet somehow, the ones carrying flintlock pistols managed to take aim at Yusuke and pull the trigger to try and put him under more pressure to either land or drop his allies. The other pirates armed with swords, clubs and anything they could arm themselves with walked to the front and prepared to maim anyone who got in their way in order to protect the ship Nomu.

The Shipwreck

TL;DR:
- The anchor misses the trio
- Holes open up in the Nomu's ship body containing tiny cannons. It fires and the cannonballs grow into regular-sized cannonballs as it tries to take them out of the sky
- Zombie pirates who used to be your allies have fallen victim to the ship Nomu and emerge from its body
- More pirates with flintlock pistols fire at Yusuke while others with swords walk up front to try and protect the Nomu

[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]ATTACK ØN TITANIC [attr="class","rhythm"] "Nox.  Djinn.  Pleasure's all mine!" Yusuke continued with the pleasantries during his flight, keeping in mind of his allies' capabilities.  Nox seemed to be a swordswoman with an adaptable ability, for whatever that means, and Djinn was very terse with his own words.  Thankfully he utilized his quirk which gave MØNSTERBAT a good idea, something with wires?  Made Yusuke feel a bit ashamed that he didn't have a good way to offer assistance besides being a glorified magic carpet ride for the two of them. Not that Yusuke minded too too much, as he's always more than willing to fill whatever role is needed to save the day.  He just continued focusing on flying a circling path above the creature, allowing Djinn to let his attacks continue landing whilst closing the distance between them and whatever this monstrous creature was.  Soon the words this ship kept uttering continued to reverberate, almost sounding like some sort of symphony as the words harmonized with itself.  Yusuke's ears twitched underneath his helmet, hearing the creaking of wood and taking stock of the injuries made by Djinn's razor wires, and hearing the creaks almost in unison split holes in the creature's body.  The sounds of cannon-fire and gunshots echoed, as the sounds of the projectiles tore through the air and small statures.  "Good Afternoon, this is your Captain speaking.  We're about to hit a patch of turbulence, please buckle your seatbelts and don't get up until you see the light symbol turn off," Unable to turn off his wittiness, he'd began to start maneuvers to avoid the path of any of these projectiles no matter how small.  Twisting and changing paths as he dropped down several meters, twisting his flight path and changing to find the safe spaces in between the gun-and-cannon-fire.  Thankfully his caution was warranted as the projectiles expanded in size after a distance, and increased in speeds and velocities.  A Cannonball would whiz between Yusuke's legs, and another almost grazed his helmet, as the creature's body seemed to create one larger opening.  His thought process soon started to create a plan of attack.  Granted he could leave this area with the skills he had, but considering the size of this creature and the forces within, especially seeing other people whom they raided Takamagahara having converted to zombie pirates...  Yeah, it was probably a smarter idea to take it down or incapacitate or something to it and not deal with it later when they're dealing with something worse at the same time. "Nox, Djinn.  Prepare to hop off in case this turns out to be a bad idea, buuuut if this freaky thing is a ship...  How 'bout we board the ship and burn it down from the inside?"  MØNSTERBAT changed his flightpath already, having taken the initiative to dive bomb straight towards the open drawbridge.  Diving into a barrage of gunfire, Yusuke trusted in his echolocation abilities to determine the paths of the projectiles.  Flying around and focusing on dodging as eh aimed to get closer and closer towards the Drawbridge. If he was affected by the Shrinking Influence of the ship, MØNSTERBAT would fly straight into the belly of the beast to try and crash into a hoard of these pirates.  He'd attempt to curve his body enough into a roll to allow Djinn and Nox to hop off his body and not crash and burn, as he'd go into a landing roll and start attacking some of the nearby pirates.  Spinning his body around to whack the weapons out of these monstrosities bodies with his wings, legs, and arms.  A bit sloppy, but having shrunken his body would feel weird. If not, he'd attempt a close quarters fly-by of the abdomen area.  Attempting to create an opportunity for Djinn and Nox to use more potent close-range abilities.... >> Yusuke uses his high awareness to fly out of the paths of the projectiles >> Practices cautions from the mini-projectiles that still sounded like big bangs and gunshots, and continues flying around those flight paths.  Flights are getting tighter now >> Has the idea to raid the ship upon seeing the drawbridge open. >> Attempts to divebomb and, if shrunken, would do a rolling landing to allow Djinn and Nox to land proper as he would attack the nearby zombies in attempts to disarm them >> If not shrunken, will fly by the drawbridge area to allow Djinn and Nox a chance to attack (tagged)⏤ Fanthes,Elias,Nox Hattori,Yusuke Komoriya,

Elias's lips crept into a scowl beneath his mask, eyeing the soon-to-be shipwreck below. Wooden chips and splinters tore from the creature, but its body barely trickled with blood. No discernible weaknesses. They only learned what wasn't working. That was until the pirate crew came stumbling out of the hold. 

A drawbridge. An opening that might lead them to the gooey center of the infamous tootsie pop. The opening volley from below whizzed by the trio, but Elias's sights were locked on the target below. 

The threads that whipped at the Nomu a moment prior spun and spun, picking up speed until they appeared to form a shield of whirling red cords. Some shots were deflected, but it wasn't long until a cannonball blew a hole in his defense and threatened to rip Elias's arm off. 

"Shit," he cursed under his breath, a rare loss of composure as the attack tugged on his arm, nearly dislocating it before the threads detached. 

Luckily, the Monsterbat was on it. He swooped and swerved out of the oncoming fire, then dove for the opening. 

"Full speed ahead then," Elias said through grit teeth. 

A few threads wrapped around his arm, applying pressure to combat the pain. And there was certainly more to come. The ship grew larger as they descended, the distance shrinking. A thunderous boom as they crashed downward, and the Wish-Maker leaped into action. 

He spun in a dance of red. Crimson wires ripped and tore. When he was faced with a zombified Scale of Ouroboros, he didn't hesitate. The threads slashed as their smaller foes.

"We need to find a proper target... fast," he shouted, slashing at more of the pirate crew.  

---

tldr: Elias helps protect the flying trio via a spinning wall of his threads, but a cannonball tears through it and nearly tears his arm from its socket. He ties the arm in more threads, and when they crash into the ship, he starts attacking some of the crew while looking for a potential weak point in the ship Nomu.

[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]Start the Pyre [attr="class","rhythm"] The other male went by Djinn. Hmm, should she think of a title or nickname to go by when she ventured into such things? Something to contemplate when she was resting at home. While the two she was currently allies of convenience with were interesting in their own rights, the monstrosity that threatened them was her focal point. Beyond its haunting appearance and the unnatural construction of its frame, the entity continued to prove the depth of its oddity as its very body opened to unleash a barrage at them. Perfectly content to use her batty transport to his fullest extent, Nox saw no reason to leap from the flying man. In fact, the mobility was exactly what the trio required as the projectiles that came their way expanded once they reached a certain distance from their host. How curious a thing that was, but she knew better these days than to question too deeply. Quirks were wondrous things. That being said, the grotesque bodies that began to march their way out a moment later were something else entirely. Monsterbat had reacted quickly thankfully, shooting through the air to keep them mobile even if his warning for the sharp movements was quite corny. Meh, so long as he continued to be useful she had no reason to hold it against him. Gripping tight, no weapons drawn yet, she smirked at his proposal. Might the strange shift in size work both ways? ”Yes, let's.” Gripping tight again, Nox was ready to raid the ship. Assuming they were able to cross “the plane” and shrink down to meet their foes, she was ready when they were close. Leaping off her blue jet, both hands dove for the hilts of her weapons and with a word, she brought them to bear. ”Ignite!” The twin katanas both burst into flames, cloaked in the intense fire as she landed on the deck with a roll. Utilizing the momentum, she cut through the first two zombies in her path. Practiced with the two blades, she broke into a dance of fire and steel, rending and burning anything that moved with range as they attempted to press inwards. Summary -> Nox holds on and goes for the ride -> Up for the boarding plan, she hunkers down and lets Monsterbat do his thing -> Once close, if they can get in, she leaps off and ignites her katanas before going for zombies (tagged)⏤ Elias - Yusuke Komoriya - Fanthes

✧ BOSS BATTLE ✧

The Shipwreck Nomu creaked as it shifted in place, swiping at the trio with one of its long spindly arms to try and swat them out of the air. Fortunately, thanks to their combined efforts they managed to pass it by and head straight for the drawbridge stomach. Just when it looked like they weren't going to shrink, all three would feel something change in their bodies, as they shrunk down in the blink of an eye and appeared inside the Nomu.

''Kill, kill...'' More pirates from outside turned towards the Nomu while it stood there in disbelief. ''A...Ahoy?'' Although the Nomu was incapable of real, human expression, it still looked dumbfounded. Moments later its face petrified and turned to stone, its red eyes withering away.

In an instant the trio found themselves inside the Nomu, shrunken down to be the same size as the zombie pirates that occupied it. If it wasn't for the holes and the drawbridge it would have been hard to tell they weren't on an actual wooden ship, but inside of a living creature. Two zombie pirates immediately descended on the group, but were cut down by Nox's flaming swords before they could ambush anyone. However, more zombies soon took their place, as they appeared to try to block the path to the Captain's Quarters. ''Kill...'' Another zombie raised a gun at Yusuke and tried to shoot him, now that he was no longer in the air.

Ever fearless, the zombie pirates raised their swords at Nox and began marching forward, intending to try to overwhelm her by wearing her down with sheer numbers. In that same moment, something appeared to writhe and mutate on the ceiling, flesh and wood slowly taking shape as the Nomu's face reformed, red glowing eyes looming ominously over the group. With a blink of its eyes the Nomu shifted its gaze towards Elias, having taken note of his spinning thread wall moments prior. As if put under a heat lamp, a red spotlight would engulf Elias, filling his body with intense pain and slowly turning his skin gray like that of the pirates, should he choose to remain in one place. Wherever he moved, the Nomu would try to follow him with its eyes. ''AHOY!''

The Shipwreck

TL;DR:
- The trio shrink and successfully make it inside the Shipwreck Nomu
- More zombie pirates try to shoot Yusuke while he's on the ground
- Undeterred by Nox's skills with her fiery katanas, the zombies attack her and try to overwhelm her with numbers
- The Shipwreck Nomu's face manifests on the ceiling inside its own body. It looks at Elias and targets him with its Red Gaze, trying to turn him into one of its zombies

[attr="class","Im"]

[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]SWIPER NØ SWIPING [attr="class","rhythm"] Seemed like his allies were on board for this bold plan of attack.  None of them had the firepower to take down a Ship-monster thing from the outside, so they were going to raid the ship itself and burn it from the inside out. Most of Yusuke's focus was on dodging the bullets and cannon fire, so when he finally got affected by the shrinking and made a definitive landing.  He would've liked to assist his current teammates a lot more, but he had to focus on himself first and foremost when it came to these zombified attackers trying to shoot him pointblank. "I claim this ship to damnation!" MØNSTERBAT shouted in a showy tone, as one of the zombie pirates raised a gun at Yusuke.  "To Davy Jones' Locker!"  The Bat Man could hear the the click of the gun from behind, as he would let his wing flick upward to slap the gun upward.  Doing his best to overpower the gunman's aim, as Yusuke took headcount of the horde around him.  They were very much more recognizable now that he got a better look at them, as they were all super recognizable. "Okay, bad news, these used to be our allies," MØNSTERBAT would call out to Nox and Djinn as he would swing his body around to nail the pirate zombie in the chin, sending the guy flying off in a direction, "Good news, their bodies look too decrepit to save.  Also they look like pirates, so lets find some powder kegs and make some fireworks!" Yusuke would start fighting more of these zombies, aiming to disarm them first or move their guns into the directions of the other zombies.  It felt sickening to take down others that used to be humans, but at the same time they looked too far gone.  He kept telling himself this was a mercy, burying his own feelings about the ones that got shot and only incapacitating the zombies that gets too close.  Confliction in his own actions as he unintentionally held back in his own attacks, as he couldn't easily disassociate these zombified people from previous allies. If he could save him, he would.  At the same time, they looked beyond saving. Someone he could save was Djinn, as the ceiling started to morph and reshape until what looked like face reformed along the ceiling.  "I...  Don't have any quick quips for that one, what the fuck," MØNSTERBAT abjectly commented as he shoved another zombie out of the way.  The eyes started to glow and create a spotlight on Djinn, which would start doing its magic. "Ahoy this you freak!" MØNSTERBAT shouted as he kicked off of the ground and flew fist first into the eye, aiming to gouge this creature's ceiling face's eyeball.  Even if it did hurt him momentarily with graying skin and the heat lamp rays just causing his body to feel like it was tearing itself apart, Yusuke would grab ahold of its eyelash and continue punching that eye like a neanderthal.  Punch after punch, he'd continue punching until it either popped or the face moved.... >> Yusuke shrinks with his group, and starts fighting the Zombie Pirates >> Dodging bullets thanks to his high awareness, and trying to have the pirates own gunfire shoot each other whilst he threw the zombie pirates around >> Ceiling face....  what the heck? >> Upon seeing it do something bad to Djinn, Yusuke flies into one of its eyes with a flying punch >> Grabs hold of an eyelash, and continuously punches that eyeball until it either pops or the face moves (tagged)⏤ Fanthes,Nox Hattori,Elias,Yusuke Komoriya,

How odd the circumstances that brought this mishmash team together, and odder still were those that populated its ranks. They shared little in common or so could be said of the Monsterbat. Nox's silence was a most effective veil. Fighting beside the young vigilante, however, was a Wish-Maker most devoid of sentimentality. He respected his fallen allies, the scales that gave their lives for Ouroboros's cause, but that did little to stay Elias's hand. 

Red threads ripped through the next few zombies, then rent them apart. Blood and spoiled viscera spilled across the deck. They tore through the initial wave in a heartbeat, but every moment spent tangled with the creature's pawns put the trio's lives at risk—a point made clear by the red gaze that shone down on Elias.

Elias's flesh grew dry, entirely drained of life. Beneath his threaded ensemble, a ghostly complexion was seared gray. He was being cooked alive and converted into something not himself. The light of life seeped away, his strength waned, and the Wish-Maker fell to his hands and knees. 

Glacial eyes fell on an exposed hand, and he saw the damage done. "Insulting as it is..." he spoke, his words labored, "painful." But he was far from through. Animals backed into corners and all that. 

Elias grit his teeth and forced himself into a roll. He hadn't gone far. A few feet at most, but he only needed a moment. A window just long enough for him to focus on something that wasn't the pain withering his body. While the Monsterbat rocketed toward one eye, Elias drew his arm back, mustered together a threaded spear, and tossed it for the other. If they were lucky, taking the face out would sink the whole ship. Wishful thinking? Maybe. 

---

tldr: Elias attacks a few more pirates, then is paralyzed for a moment by the pain of the Nomu's gaze. He rolls to his side, though, then builds a spear made from his threads and throws it at the eye Monsterbat isn't attacking.

[attr="class","Im"]

[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"] Leave Them In Pieces [attr="class","rhythm"] Nox felt her blades rend the wretched flesh of the first two zombies that came within her reach. While limited in her interaction with Elias and Monsterbat thus far, the reserved nature of the ronin wasn’t the only facet of her personality. In fact, she was quite forward when she desired it. Honestly, the two males were not yet on her trust list so why open up to them? Now though, as both undead bodies dropped to the deck, Nox wore a smirk despite the fact a larger group was closing in on her. Aware of her surroundings, she heard Monsterbat yell out, informing her that these relentless crew members were once their allies, the information did nothing to make her hesitate. Nox cared little for what allegiances people might hold or have held when they came at her. On top of that, being allowed to so freely use her quirk and cut down those in front of her…she wasn’t about to restrain herself. In fact, she was ready to do the opposite. Catching a glimpse of the eyes that shone down from above, not immune to the eerie nature of the current entity they both fought and found themselves inside of, she knew ignoring the rank and file zombies would cost them just the same. Letting the two men deal with whatever the threat from above was, those baleful eyes not even on her, she continued to try and send body parts flying. The quantity of the undead was a potential problem for them, their increased number making it harder to parry or defend then leave room for further offense and defense as they closed in. So she shifted her strategy. Bringing both blades together as if prepared to swing them side-by-side in unison, Nox willed her quirk to shift the blades, flaming steel blending and mixing, reshaping into one, far larger blade. Similar to a greatsword, yet with enhanced width and weight, the massive blade required both her hands to wield it properly. Still burning, the nearly six foot weapon would light up the grin that stretched her features. Enjoying herself despite the danger, an aggressive step took her towards the oncoming zombies and with a heave of her shoulders and arms, the bigger blade swung with momentum and strength behind it, looking to not fend the zombies off…but cut through them in mass. ”Hah!” Summary -> Nox hears Monsterbats words, but isn’t worried about it -> Realizing she can’t get to the eyes right away, she decides to focus on the undead and fuses her two katana’s into a massive two handed sword -> With it still flaming, she then tries to cut through the group of zombies in mass (tagged)⏤ Elias - Yusuke Komoriya - Fanthes

✧ BOSS BATTLE ✧

''Ki-'' The zombie looked absentmindedly at its gun as Yusuke slapped it out of their hand. More zombies tried to rush to its aid, but Yusuke was too fast for them and quickly changed targets to intercept the Shipwreck's face when it appeared on the ceiling. ''AHOY!'' It cried as he punched it in the eye, a spider web of cracks forming where his fist had connected. The face gently shook from side to side, but it was clear that it didn't have the means to shake Yusuke off of it. The intense, red spotlight that had been burning up Elias would all at once feel like it was fading, and as he formed his threaded spear he would be able to see the color slowly return to his skin where it had once turned a withered gray. The Nomu Shipwreck howled in pain as Elias's spear pierced its other eye, cracks and even bits of red gemstone falling out of its socket and onto the deck as it writhed. While Yusuke continued to punch its eye and it couldn't shake him off entirely, it still chose to focus its gaze on him, or whatever was left of it, to try and turn him into one of its zombies.

The marching horde of zombie pirates stared at Nox blankly. For every one she cut down, five more took their place. While some of them definitely looked like their former allies, strangers were starting to show up too, and some of them hadn't been dressed up as pirates like the others, but were instead wearing something that resembled test subject uniforms. Nevertheless, the zombies continued to attack her, their advance relentless and seemingly unbeatable, until Nox combined her swords into one massive greatsword. Although the zombies had appeared unfeeling and uncaring up until now, the pure display of power caused them all to halt and watch her carefully.

With a swing of her sword, a whirlwind of blood and fire surrounded Nox as she cut down the zombies in even greater numbers than before. Slowly but surely, their numbers started to dwindle. Finally, a single zombie stood before Nox, dropping his weapon as tears seemed to fill his eyes. ''Kill...'' The zombie sat down and bowed before Nox, trying to show he didn't mean any harm. ''Kill...'' His words grew more desperate as he stood back up and pointed to the door that led to the Captain's Quarters, freely opening the door for Nox. A couple of other zombies were trying to lead Elias to the same door while Yusuke continued to fight the giant face.

''Kill...'' The zombies said anxiously, hovering by the door nervously as if they couldn't advance any further. Inside the quarters looked relatively normal, except on the desk a computer screen sat with the single image of a regular woman on display. The woman wasn't anyone the trio would recognize, but she looked like an ordinary civilian. She was holding a book and smiling proudly, seemingly celebrating a special occasion. Then the computer pulsated, and so did the long, thick cables that connected to it. Then it pulsated again and again to the same rhythm, like a beating heart.

The Shipwreck

TL;DR:
- Yusuke narrowly avoids getting shot, saves Elias from zombification
- Through their combined efforts, Elias and Yusuke take out the Nomu's glowing eyes, although the Nomu tries to turn Yusuke with whatever is left of its power to get him off its face
- Nox effortlessly cuts through the horde of zombies. Some of the remaining zombies appear to surrender and try to lead Nox and Elias to the Captain's Quarters, where a mysterious computer sits, beating and pulsating like a human heart
- ...AHOY?
