Cross Effects 3.0 - April 13, 2015—June 23, 2016

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu 

As the vampire loli in front of her went on about how Tenma was going to be alright Shinobu kept glaring at her. It seemed as if she could float in midair now.

So you aren't completely without tricks....

"AUUURGH"

 Shinobu collapsed to the ground puking blood on the way, her body refusing to obey her.

"That light is, arghhh" She growled out, her body still convulsing. The light in question stemming from 5 brilliant minature suns was filling the sky with an unnatural whiteness that sickened her to her core. "This is..." She went on "this is..."

"This is unacceptable" with that control returned and she rose, moving with a single purpose in mind, the destruction of that foul light and whoever behind it. However in the jumbled mess that was her mind she decided to something that would probably make no sense to an outside observer, she decided to grab the science grab.

In a rush of speed she almost flew over to where the still unconcious girl was reciting the weird string of 1's and 0's, bent down before hoisting the girl over her shoulder. Then she ran, ran at an astounding pace for someone carrying another person. Her destination was the nearest sun in sight.

[Elf]

Rin

Rin nodded, bit her lip, looked around and grabbed some powder, a small brush set, a lipstick, blush, and the eye shadow pallet.   She grabbed something called Eyeshadow Potion (the Naked display recommended it and had it right beside it) as well.  She gave Sakura a small smile and said, "I think we should be good now.  Let's see how large Armor-san's harem has become."


Forest

"Do you mind going back to my place?  I'm fortified for supernatural attacks," Forest said, "Not to mention, this stuff isn't going to get through my lair."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Aisha

This language of man was beginning to grow heavy on her tongue. It would be better to return to the basics now. She spoke again but the sounds that escaping her mouth could not be uttered by any human tongue. It was the breath of breath of spring. The sound of winds carrying life and a thousand animals and insects. The rustling of foliage and ancient trunks groaning under time and pressure. And the voices of dozens of human languages stretching back to their first words intermingled with this all. Yet despite the chaos of the sounds they melded together in an almost comforting way, and somehow one could extract meaning from this cacophony as if she had spoken any normal sentence.

"You are strong. No stranger to victory, but I find it even more likely that you've tasted defeat more than once. What troubles you about this one failure? Do you still think of yourself as strong?" Even as she spoke she remained calmly sitting. The snow not chilling her in the slightest despite thinness of her robe.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Sakagami Kenzo

"Wait!" Kenzo yelped.

He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe he forgot this, but he forgot the most importantest thing!

"Erm, we need to buy something first. I really need those zappy pills for my noise box! You know, the black and yellow ones! We need to go to the shop, pleeease! It will be over soon, I promise! I really really need to get there though!"

[SINIB]

Sakura

“Yeah.” Sakura said sullenly. “Let’s see what he’s done.”

[Elf]

Forest

Forest chuckled despite everything and shook her head.  "Of course Kenzo.  Let's get your stuff."

She turned the key in the ignition and she was off.


Rin

"So, how did you meet up with him anyway?" Rin asked curiously.

[yinsukin]

Medaka Kurokami

Medaka watched as Lorenzo displayed powers she had never seen before.  He gave the man a funny looking mustache and seemingly reversed the damage he had done to the floor.  It was just like Toe.  She clenched her fists as they walked out of the castle door.  She had to confirm it, she had to find out if he was who he says he was.

They stepped outside, where Medaka was hit with an unexpected light.  It was odd.  She had thought it was nighttime, yet in the sky their were orbs that looked like suns.  This was strange but she would have to get to the bottom of this later.  It was time to focus on the matter at hand. 

As "Lorenzo" began howling mindlessly into the sky, Medaka made her move.  Medaka walked from the doorway to just in front of Lorenzo and looked him in the eye.

"Are you Towah?"  She asked bluntly

[yinsukin]

Medaka

Medaka's expression did not change.  She answered with the same straightforward gaze that she confronted him with.

"You can do whatever you like.  However, I still want to know, are you Towah?"

[Kotomine_Rin]

Hyoudo Tenma

As Tenma's nerves were recovering, she entered a dreamlike state. She found herself in a green sunny clearing full of chirping birds, swans swimmong on a lake with fishies and beautiful deers prancing around happily along with their friend rabbits. Giggling, Tenma pranced around as well, reaching for the pretty deer in order to rub her head gently.

Suddenly, the deer exploded in a fiery explosion. Gasping, she looked up in awe to gaze upon him once more. Her sworn nemesis, Marshal Mellow, the giant man eating exploding marshmallow!

"OH SHIT!" She cried out, dodging an endless stream of exploding donuts. Jumping from tree to tree, from platform to platform, she exploded with might and flew at incredible speeds towards the giant sweet.

^{No! This cannot be! It's impossible! I will not die, nor will my dreeeeeeeeam!}
"No! Masakah! SONNA BAKANA!! Watashiwa shinen, shinenzuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!" The demonic monster roared in defiance, casting more lv.99 donut spells. With a battle hungry grin, the awesome scientist punched all the attacks away with her scientifically enhanced fists!

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA
ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA
ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA
ORAORAORAORA!!!!" She cried with a mighty battle cry. In response, the giant beast advanced like a comet towards her, his fists ready to flatten her.

"MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA
MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA
MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA
MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!!!!"

Their attacks were meeting one another with godlike speed, bursts of power so great the earth below the two flying supreme beings sundered. But suddenly, a cruel smirk grew on the marshmallow. Immediately, she gasped as hundreds of godly spears pierced her, pummelling her into the ground. Behind the marshmallow, hundreds upon hundreds of powerful weapons floated, ready to eviscerate her like kebab.

Vomiting blood, the girl stood weakly, groaning. With a fiery glare, she stared down at the mighty beast.

^{I will not lose... I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOUUUUU!!!}
"Lose makenai.... zettaini URUSAN!!!"

Charging forward, she braced herself agains thte thousands of weapons. A curtain of ancient, powerful arms poured down on her like rainfall, but she was strong. No, stronger. THE STRONGEST! She would never lose...

"TO THE LIKES OF YOUUUU!!!!"

RULES OF NATURE

Grabbing onto the weapons, she bashed mercilessly on the other ones, carving her path trough the mountain of swords, spears and axes. With a mighty roar, she braced her fist and punched the marshmallow.

"TENMA PUUUUUUUNCH!!!"

A great explosion, bigger and stronger than any explosion ever exploded in the marshmallow, fire bursting from his exploded body.

It was over. Yes, Tenma had won. Standing over the ravaged wasteland that remained of the clearing, she floated down and looked over the corpse of her enemy. Then, she picked it up and fondled it, ready to eat her sweet snack before going to school and be noticed by her senpai.

...soft.

In the real world, Tenma was resting on Shinobu's back, groping her while she snored away without a care in the world and mumbling random nippon words.

[SINIB]

Sakura

“That’s a funny question.” Sakura noted. “Well, whatever. I met him earlier today, he appeared in my basement. It was really startling. He seems nice enough though, but more importantly, he’s useful. He’s strong and really capable of protecting us.”

[Knick]

Just

Light, the warmth flowed through his body. His eyes closed slightly as he allowed himself to bask in its warmth. On his back, like warm water it washed over him. He could feel it, the lights blessing permeating the air. He has long since become sensitive to such thing, accustomed to its light pressure, its warmth, its comfort. Like a partner at his side as he fought, the support it gave was indescribable.

It was almost as if Hamara stood at his side, supporting one another, smiling together, fighting together, and crying together. It brought back memories. Memories of a time long past, of battles hard fought, of victories well earned, and losses suffered.

But he put that behind him, as he listened, and watched and felt. The vibrations of the stage, the sound of slightly moving curtains, the heat of the light, the casted shadows of his form, everything, he watched it, and focused completely.

And then a figure floated through the doorway… and waved?  "Hello! Is that baby sun yours? Are you gonna play with it?"

…Well, that was different. But Just was not worried. He gripped the gem, closing his fingers around it and shifted his body slightly rising his leg, so rather then dangling off the edge of the stage it was put up so he could lean on it, ready to react if needed.

“… Yes, I am, but you can’t touch it, it would stop the game and that would be a bad thing.” Just told the child(?) with a convincing smile.
Suiren

“Of course I’m strong, still lost to him though.” She grumbled annoyed with emphasis on the ‘him’.  Then she tilted her head and stared at her again. That language… well, whatever it didn’t matter. She was definitely no demon, but something else.

“So, what do you mean by child anyway. That’s what you called me, one of your children?” She chucked, “Cause trust me, you’re not my mom, you would not be sitting here if you were.” She said the last as a joke, despite how morbid it sounded.

[Emperor's Hammer]

Victoria Ashworth

As I finished speaking, a bright light came across the sky, and pain flooded through my body. It was not the pain of True Sunlight, I knew that, it was something else, something that rejected my essence as a non-human. I felt an urge to flee, to run, the Red Fear did not distinguish this from true sunlight, even if it was not doing the same kind of damage to my body as it would. I had to flee, or the Beast inside of me would force me to.

It seemed that the other vampire had the same issue, albeit a bit more violent than me, as she had puked blood and collapsed for a bit before getting up. My reaction to the light was not so extreme, however I did end up accidentally cancelling the ritual to make me incorporeal as I hunched over, the mirror no longer holding my image as I held my gut. Gaining some semblance of control, I began to run as fast I could away from the source of the light, trying to find a place I could find shelter. I barely to notice that the vampire girl had oddly decided to go TOWARDS the light and brought the brunette who was still spewing binary with her. I did not care if she got herself killed, after all she was not my responsibility.

However, as I ran I was not particularly paying attention to my surroundings too much, as I was busy keeping my fear in check so I could be able to at least control my retreat to an extent, and as I was crossing an intersection, I failed to notice a car coming at me, and I braced myself for impact, and was tossed into the air, the injuries from the impact mostly healing before my impact. I had spent a lot of blood, however I was not running low yet. I would definitely need to feed soon, however I would not be moving for a little bit, as the injuries to my legs would require a little bit to heal, so I was trapped underneath the light of this artificial sun, though it was not nealy as powerful here as it was where I was before, and it was only quite uncomfortable rather than outright painful, as I waited to be able to flee once again.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu 

The nerve of this girl, not only snoring loudly but groping her too. This can't be left unpunished. She was kinda busy though so she let it slip, for now.

After a while of running she appeared at what seemed to be the origin of one of the suns. At a first glance it looked like a non descript warehouse if you didnt count the light pouring out of it of course. It wasn't the suspicious warehouse thst bothered Shinobu though, it was that girl who was still groping her. Oh and she was mumbling something silly about beating donuts, didn't she know donuts never lose.

Shinobu had enough and smacked her head hard enough for her to wake up. "Will you stop groping me like some pervert now? We have arrived" the vampire stated.

[Panda]

Seras

Whatever feeling of triumph she might have experienced was wiped away with the horrified realization that the armor was on a collision course with a small child. Before Seras could even think to dive back in and try to save the kid, though, the armor created some sort of shield on the child and ended up bouncing off it. The vampire's eyes widened in surprise as Vanguard came to a fairly rough landing, the kid running away soon after, unharmed but looking like he'd just shit himself.

The sight of the armor bowing to her, however slightly, was possibly even more unexpected. The vampire drifted down to ground level, looking a bit flustered.

"No no, it's fine," Seras said a little sheepishly, "Just never do that again, okay?"

[Kotomine_Rin]

Hyoudo Tenma

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Tenma laughed in triumph. She won, she was the greatest! Now, no one could stop her. Her CONQUEST was unstoppable.

*smack*

Except it wasn't. Someone interrupted her glorious slumber, turns out dreams die when dreamer wakes. There was never any Tenma punch, all that happened was her waking up and snapping back to reality. Looking around, she let go of Shinobu's generous chest and rubbed her head painfully.

"Ooooow, what was that for?" she groaned. Then, she looked around and realized it was broad daylight.

"Um, how long have I been out?"
