Cross Effects- The RP

[Kurogami]

Over the course of half an hour while walking towards the center of the crater, several things happened.

Ten minutes in, jewels began to rain from the sky; anyone watching Minato walk by instead of dieing, grieving, or indulging greed would have been surprised to see some of the jewels vanishing when they got close to him before they could hit the ground.

Twenty minutes in, Minato decided to call Thanatos on his lie.

Give me the real death toll.

I already told you,

This time not just the humans.

Well you were right, Golden Rule is exactly as ridiculous as you'd expect a company run by Gilgamesh to be; Ten kilometers almost entirely evacuated in eight minutes.

Stop dodging.

...Five hundred ninety seven vaporized inside the barrier during the initial blast, entirely unrecoverable. Outside the barrier, around six to seven hundred shredded or liquefied by the compression wave and shrapnel, also unrecoverable. Upwards of fifteen thousand stand at the border and will die in the next twenty four hours.

...

Minato remained silent as he walked for another five minutes until,

"Arisato, you don't mind giving a lady some help do you?  I'm closer to the center of the crater than you. About 5 minutes away."

Is it just me or did Grigori just call himself a lady?

Oh, you caught that? Didn't the voice sound a little off?

Yeah kinda.

Minato decided that walking there may not be the best idea so he applied some of his not inconsiderable speed, covering a full kilometer in less than a minute.

Upon seeing the golem he decided to move a little faster.

To an onlooker it would look like a scene from a manga, one second a young woman appears to be barely holding behind a barrier as an enormous golem rears back to deliver an earth shattering blow, the next the golem finds that it's strike has been stopped by some blue haired highschool kid, said kid now holding the golem's fist in place with one hand.

Without any sign of concern over the large angry thing next to him, Minato turned his head to look at the now female Grigori

Oh right, I forgot some gods can do that; Can we do that?

No.

You sure? Cause I could totally see you as a bubbly redhead.

Yes I am, and shut up.

"So is there a particular reason why this thing is trying to maim you?"

[Umbra of Chaos]

So he was strong. Strange considering the fact that he looked no different from the average teenager. Interesting.

"So is there a particular reason why this thing is trying to maim you?"

"No reason in particular. Take care of him for me Arisato. If you do I may give you a much better gift then my counterpart." With that said Grigori snapped her fingers and a hundred blue eyes burst into existence. They floated straight through the barrier and took up positions surrounding the golem and the boy. She looked over at the golem and sent it another command. "Kill him." In an instant the arm that Minato was holding back came apart and reconstructed itself around his arm. Then the golem sent another strike towards the boy's face.

Now it was time to check for any other talents. "I would recommend magic Arisato. Physical attacks won't be very effective."

Vatler stood upon the head of Sagara as he surveyed the damage done to the city from a great height. A good ten kilometers of the city's center had been reduced to ashes, and it truly showed. Wounded laid in the streets, paramedics tried to contain the damage and Vatler could truly not give less of a damn, only interested in find the two godlike men who had caused it. Unfortunately, no matter where Vatler looked, they were not to be found. He had, however, found his playmates huddling in the center of the crater, a now-female Grigori riding a golem of ash and the peculiar falling jewels. An impressive construct, for certain, but an insult to something like his own Dragons. More importantly, the charismatic young man, Minato, was also to be found there.

Perhaps he would have found something interesting to do?

Sagara! Anavatapta!

Calling upon the Dragon that he currently stood upon, a meter-thin beam of water darted towards the eye of the storm, as a single snake from Anavatapta's massive ball darted through it, freezing the water as soon as it appeared. Vatler jumped from the head of the Dragon unto the ice slide and surfed upon it as the surge appeared mere feet before his own, and crumbled just behind them. Not even twenty seconds passed before he landed casually in time to watch Minato's hand be eaten by the Golem's own.

"What's wrong, dear boy? Your only weakness should be rebar, so how is this Golem stopping you?"

[Gray]

Grim had traveled outside of the crater that marked the clash of deific beings.
He now crawled along the edge of compound filled a lot of magic that he really wanted to feed on.

He craweld along the walls and crept in. He saw many knights as well as a man forging and a trying to trap a very dark being.

After the forging the man looked at the mass of darkness and deigned to insult it. This man had a lot of power he could make a great candidate for a bond.

So Grim leaped to the man and tried to establish a bond with him.

OOC: (the man is Satoshi by the way). Now onto Avy's story.


Avdol wandered into the city in a haze. He tried a phone line but the damage that the crater had reeked destroyed any connections. He tried to go to doors and look for help, anything anyone but all he could see were people he could needed help themselves, help, that sadly he could not deliver.


This city was strange to him. He it was metropolis unto which he had never seen. He had no idea where to go and had to travel long and hard to find someone to help him. The people he helped were few and there were so many more left back there. He had to find someone fast or else fate would be cutting a lot of strings today.

He screamed for help but no one would give it. So he walked on, occasionally using whatever pathetic ripple he had to help out his charges.

After some time at a point where hope was scarce and his voice lost from all the yelling he saw someone. He saw a figure of knight and was that a dragon?
It didn't matter. He had to go to them. "Please help," he whispered.

[Kurogami]

"This thing is annoying."

First is the arm.

Minato simply yanked his arm back and the hand-cuff that had been holding onto him broke apart.

Ok, now I'm beginning to feel insulted; Am I being underestimated by that much? I really would not need magic to beat this but,

Minato switched to Alice and reached into his pocket with his free hand pulling out a red slip of paper which he then slapped onto the oncoming fist while walking by it.

The lady wants magic.

After a moment the tag burst into a purple flame that formed into a circle and pulsed vanishing as a wave of dark power ripped through the golem's body. At the moment the spell was complete the life, such that it was, of the golem was in Minato's hands; Minato was not feeling very merciful towards the thing that was currently wasting his time.

"You are an eyesore, Die."

He continued to walk towards the center of the crater even as the golem began to disintegrate, even the jewels in it's body becoming dust under the powerful Mudo spell.

Switching back to Messiah, Minato decided to call back at his two new friends.

"If you are looking to see high output magic, follow me and you will see some."

[lantzblades]

Satoshi, at least in his elderly form, was not exceptionally fast. However he needed not to be fast in order to stop his current foe. As the creature leapt towards him he chuckled as his body burst into intense flames courtesy of the dragon.

"You will have to be better than that to best me creature" he said tapping his cane as he turned to the creature.

[Gray]

The new host rejected him immediatly. This was new to Grim. Grim ussually overwhelmed his opponent or established a partnership with the host. These were always paltry compared to the bond that Grim wanted but being rejected by candidate hurt Grim. It hurt more than the accursed fire that this candidate was using. Grim was angry, truly angry in the first time in it's two months of consciousness and this feeling did not sit well with Grim.
Being forced to rely on the his first ever consumed meal, Grim activated the Matou crest.

He sent water to the candidate that was aflame. He upon him again now using the binding magecraft of the Matou's to supress him as he tried anew to make him a host.

[Brahmastra]

"If you are looking to see high output magic, follow me and you will see some."

"Well, don't leave me hanging, boy. Show me that you are worthy of my love."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Highly destructive. Dark magic. Possibly entropic in nature. Interesting.

"If you are looking to see high output magic, follow me and you will see some."

"Very well. I hope you surprise me Arisato."

[Elf]

Ash sighed as she started pulling rubble off the girl, briskly throwing it aside.  Catching her eye were the myriad of gemstones lying on the ground in different shapes, sizes, cuts, and colors.  Forest was a bit of a gem-phile, the elder vampire liked pretty things, however it didn't rub off on Ash.

Ash liked wearing jewelry, but if it was paste, glass, synthetic, or real made little difference to her.  However, the stones looked quite real, which was odd.  So what the hell happened? she thought to herself as she knelt beside the dying girl.  She carefully took the girl in her arms and said, "Before I do this, do you have a name?"

She felt knots starting to form in her stomach.  She was about to Turn someone, and on a bit of a whim none the less.

Wynn had paid her tab and made her way out of the bar, promising Rose she would return to visit her again.  The Faerie noble made her way through the city, inspecting this odd place with its mishmash of features from other cities.  There were beings similiar to ones she was familiar with, but yet far different.  She was curious about this point "between worlds" and those who dwelt here.

As she wandered thoughtfully, something amazing began to happen.

Well, amazing and troublesome.

The ancient Faerie shielded herself as the two demi-gods had a battle for the ages against one and another, obliterating others without a thought.  She winched slightly at the carnage with a thought, Well, this is going to displease both Gabriel and Forest,.

Once the battle was over, the city was in ruins and many had died as a result of the battle.  The two combatants were exhausted at this point, and Wynn took the opportunity to approach them.  The blond one was quite lovely, with his golden hair and ruby red eyes.  She admired his features as she watched the two of them recover, the white haired fellow getting assistance from someone who's presence put Wynn on edge.

They would upset the balance of nature, and not for positive change, but their own amusement, she thought with a scowl as the white haired man decided that he should make it rain gemstones.

She sighed, rubbed her forehead, and said, "Now this will just ruin the economic structure."

Ash sighed as she started pulling rubble off the girl, briskly throwing it aside.  Catching her eye were the myriad of gemstones lying on the ground in different shapes, sizes, cuts, and colors.  Forest was a bit of a gem-phile, the elder vampire liked pretty things, however it didn't rub off on Ash.

She felt knots starting to form in her stomach.  She was about to Turn someone, and on a bit of a whim none the less.

"I'm... Ellen" the dying girl managed to utter despite the situation she was in and the extent of her injuries. Oddly, she felt somehow at ease in the embrace of a stranger, though a bit of anxious about what would happen. Was she really going to become a vampire?

[Daiki]

"I am invoking Section Three of the Jordan Act: You are to take me to a secure location for questioning. I do not care if you are non-Americans, you will comply. Is that vehicle still operable?"

Kyle heard Jojo's complaint about being threated rudely and nodded in support.

"Look, I don't know why you think you can order us around but things won't work if you ask in such an imperious manner."

He scratched his head.

"I mean, I don't mind bringing you to safety, however I'll ask that you threat us a comrades rather than slaves. The car's fine, only got a slight bump. But before we go anywhere, we should introduce ourselves, don't you think? The name's Kyle."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Grigori stopped. Someone else had entered the area, and their magical power was impressive. "My apologies Arisato, but I will be unable to see your performance myself." A dozen of the blue eyes moved over to the teenager.  "There seems to be a disturbance that I need to attend to personally." Grigori propelled herself into the air and made her way to the center of the crater.

From the air she could see a woman with black hair and violet eyes. However the woman was clearly not a human. Those violet eyes were not fake, and her hair seemed as if it was drawing in the light around it. There was also her magical aura. 

There was a difference between human magi and creatures of magic. Humans utilized the magic within them and around them and could only become so skilled. Creatures of magic were different. Any faerie or elf easily surpassed any human sorcerer. Either with sheer power, or they utilize the experience that their eternal lives give them. Considering the fact that her magical aura was nearly on the level of Grigori's own, and there was also the pointed ears which were a huge giveaway. Now if it were anyone else they would be trying to figure out whether or not the lady was a faerie or elf, but Grigori had interacted with the fae before. A long time ago. There was no doubt that this woman was one of them.

She sighed, rubbed her forehead, and said, "Now this will just ruin the economic structure."

"What could a fae possibly be doing here?"

"Very well then, I will need you to take my hand so that I can properly apply my magic. I will warn you it will hurt quite a bit at first."

"I am no stranger to pain, though I prefer to keep it a few marathons away." He offered a clawed limb to the magic user, making sure that clawed digits did not harm his would-be healer.

[Elf]

Wynn tilted her head and answered, "I wanted to see the idiots who caused this damage."

She gestured to the carnage to the person wondering why a Fae was indeed here.

******

Ash smiled and said, "Well, I'm Ash.  This might be oddly pleasant."

Then she brushed Ellen's hair back from her throat, her grey eyes turning crimson and her canines lengthening to delicate but sharp points.  The vampire licked the girl's throat before biting her.
