Cross Effects 3.0 - October 21, 2015—June 23, 2016

[Thedoctor]

Archer

"Maybe things have changed. She has been here a while from what I've heard. You shouldn't give into despair so easily, as long as you keept trying a solution will eventually present itself." Archer told him calmly.

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

Sakura gripped Jeanne even tighter and buried her face in Jeanne's hair. "But! But! I can't help it, I see things Jeanne, and they're so vivid! I can't help but worry..."

[Panda]

Michael

The immortal frowned a bit amidst beating back the constant assault from all sides with practiced ease, Oren did have a bit of a point there, they were just hacking this things limbs off.

"Kind of?" Michael admitted, "In all fairness, staffs aren't exactly designed for clean kills, and it's not like we actually know where it's vitals are any-"

A close call with a bonespike coming out of a deer interrupted Michael while also providing inspiration. Turning up the Enhancement, the immortal grabbed the bonespike and twisted, breaking it off. With spike and staff in hand, the immortal crouched briefly, ducking a leap from one of the smaller mouths, before exploding from the ground, leaping up next to where Oren stood on top of the beast. Numerous things that looked rather similar to eyes, with the clear spots surrounding darkened centers, met the immortal's gaze upon landing, as he rushed to the greatest concentration of them. Turning his Enhancement up as high as it would safely go, Michael stabbed the bonespike down into the cluster, driving it in further with a stomp before bringing the staff up and plunging it down on top of the embedded spike with all the force he could muster, extending the staff out to its full length afterwards for good measure.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Erica

"No, and I do not care for playing games." Perhaps if she had been purposefully cold or distant it could be seen as endearing, but she spoke with all the emotion of a stone. Both options were equally meaningless to her.


Alarice

A dark frown appeared on the noble's face as she folded her arms and stared at the skeleton's hunched figure. There was a strained note to her voice as if she was retraining herself from saying something more drastic. "You use very powerful words with great carelessness, Lord Greyskull."


Numina

Numina's chest felt warm at the thought that the child would come to her for protection instead of just running away. That just made everything that came next so much easier. She looked down at the creep and held out her hand. Space visibly distorted in front of it. The universe bending and groaning under the weight of something enormous. "You need to leave immediately. I'm not going to give you another warning."


Oren

The Fae snipped two of her fingers together like scissors and playfully cut at her own hand as she responded to Breeze. "Well, only a little. It's like if you had a lot of limbs and I ripped a bunch of them off! But I guess it's not your fault. I told you to do it, but you should think outside the box! This is a beastie not a monster!"

She moved and adjusted as the man rammed a spike into one of the creature's primary eyes. Dainty feet danced on its stony body as it reverberated with noise that almost sounded like a cry of agony before it fell silent. The few appendages that were still moving dropped dead and it collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

Then Oren shifted back into a Lycan. Her hulking form clawed at and slammed her fists down on the body and sent chips of the armor off as she dug for the meat on the inside. She was relentless, and it didn't look as if she would be waiting for anyone else to help her as she worked.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Theodore

"Then what do you want to do?" He asked simply.


Count Greyskull

Despite his compromised position, the skeleton lord still managed to remain as theatric as always. "Of course! I, the great Count Greyskull am the greatest and most powerful lord of all time!! My words need to be powerful to inspire my legions of darkness!!!"


Sakagami Kenzo

The oni remained silent for a while, just standing there without moving or making a noise. His finger twitched while the edges of his vision turned black, and before he knew it, he had already grabbed his blade. It was as if he had completely lost control of his body, now possessed by a blade driven by hate, anger and bloodlust.

He watched as he hacked and slashed wildly with clean deliberate strokes, turning what were once well shaped humanoid forms into mere chunks of cleanly sliced flesh, first their arms and legs, their torsos and bellies afterwards and finally their heads. Violently, their bodies split and separated with laughable ease as if they were nothing but butter before his sword. And before the two piles of meat stood a demon, smiling from ear to ear at the good work well done.

But suddenly Kenzo snapped back to reality, unable to hold back a stifled horrified gasp at the gruesome scene that had unfolded before his very eyes. And yet, he soon realized that their bodies were in fact whole and in one piece, and that his sword had in fact never been unsheated. His hand was simply trembling as if attracted by its sheath, but he had not caused a single cut upon them.

Under normal circumstances, he would have sighed in relief, but the demon was anything but that. Why did he see such a thing, with such vivid detail that it almost felt real. He hoped that it had been an illusion, or a mirage.

However, deep down Kenzo knew that it was no dream, but something far, far worse.

"Hahahahahahahaha! Alright, alright. Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude." He laughed it off cheerfully, bowing deeply to apologize as if what he just saw never happened. But as he lowered himself before them, he couldn't help but feel his sins crawling down his back.

"Well, see ya!" He added before waving goodbye and leaving.  and so the demon walked as far away as possible, carrying nothing but a blade and a terrible, unspeakable hunger.

[Cherry Lover]

Sakura and Shirou

Sakura frowned at Irisviel's words, wishing she could give a bit more information about where it was that her alternate self had sent them. However, before she could ask Irisviel anything more, she noticed a blonde woman approaching them rapidly, carrying a blue-haired, obviously-injured girl in her arms. Sakura and Shirou looked on with concern as they approached, worried about the girl's state.

Moving in front of them, the blonde placed the injured girl, who Sakura now recognised as someone Irisviel had healed previously, on the ground in front of them. The blonde girl quickly asked for help and, as Sakura would have expected, Irisviel offered it. Sakura, though, could see that her adoptive mother-in-law was low on prana, as if something was draining her. She certainly could perform the healing, but it would strain her. Sakura, on the other hand, knew she could easily spare the necessary prana.

"I hate to impose but I have been injured once again.  We tried going to a hospital but it didn't work out to well.  I am sorry but you are one of the only mages I know that is capable of healing.  Again, I realize that I am imposing a bit on your time.  Please, I require your help", the blue-haired girl said, holding up her arm.

Sakura smiled softly.

"If you don't mind", she said, politely, "I can help. Irisviel seems a little drained right now."

With that, she reached out to touch the girl's arm, allowing her magical energy to flow into the girl. Her healing magic was not as efficient as Irisviel's, but she made up with it by brute-forcing the problem with the help of her exceptional pool of mana. Soon enough, the girl's wound would begin to heal.

[SINIB]

Irisviel

Irisviel nodded at the newcomers, perfectly willing to do such a simple request. She smiled warmly at the two.

"Of course I can!" Were the words she was about to say, when Sakura stepped forward and volunteered to do it instead.

Well, I am a bit tired, and Towuh seems to be draining me as well. With this in mind, Irisviel stepped forward, looking to observe her daughter in law's skills in healing magic.

What she found was...

Less than impressive to her, to say the least.

She wasn't really very good at all with it, in fact, she was marvelously inefficient at it.

She needed lessons, clearly.

"Here, let me help." Irisviel said, finishing off the healing with ease. "And what is your name?" She asked, turning to the blond haired teenager, a friendly smile on her face.

[Panda]

Emily

Whatever reply the Changeling might have had in mind was momentarily silenced as Gabe slid a finger into her core, her inner walls gripping at the digits seemingly on their own. Emily moaned aloud as he worked his way inside, her moan turning into a sharp cry as Gabe's fingers curved up, soon finding that one spot on her inner walls that sent a jolt of pleasure surging through her veins. The Changeling arched up at his touch, that familiar pressure starting to build up all over again.

The tiny part of the Changeling's mind still capable of lucid thought took a moment to wonder at the fact that he hadn't even entered her yet and she was already feeling like this, marveling a little at the realization.

[Elf]

Gabriel

Gabriel smiled as he slid a second finger inside of her as soon as he found that little hidden spot.  He rubbed it harder, adding more pressure as he moved in front of her.  Then he started to kiss his way down her smooth, flushed skin until his lips were right above where his fingers were playing.

Then he flicked his tongue on the hard little nub still poking out of it's hood, ready to drive her over the edge again, thrilling on her bliss as he always did.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

Jeanne felt Sakura embracing her harder. She kept up her own embrace as it happened. "Sakura can you feel me? I'm right here, don't worry. Those visions won't come to pass, I guarantee it."

[Panda]

Emily

Emily's cries grew louder as Gabe slid a second finger into her, more pleasure blasting through her as that tension built further and further. She felt him shifting behind her and then Gabe was suddenly before her, kissing his way down to where his fingers were buried, the Changeling squirming all the while. Then she felt his tongue brush that pleasurable nub at the apex of her folds, the feeling only compounding the ecstasy thundering through her veins, piling the tension on higher and higher with each passing second.

With nothing holding her up, Emily fell back against the bed, hands gripping the sheets as she bucked into Gabriel's touch, teetering on the edge.

[Elf]

Gabriel

Emily's cries were fueling the fires building in Gabriel as he could smell her spicy lust and taste it on his tongue.  She was squirming against him and he could feel her rise higher and higher.  So he doubled his efforts to have her fall again.

His lips wrapped around that nub before sucking on it while he rubbed his fingers more, waiting for any signs of discomfort to tell him if he needed to stop.

[Panda]

Emily

As it was, it didn't take much more to send the Changeling over the edge. Of course, that's not to say that the extra effort wasn't appreciated. Grabbing hold of the sheets with strength she wasn't entirely aware she had, Emily's cried aloud, pleasure firing off through every nerve at once, the extra stimulation starting to edge slightly into discomfort. However, if anything, it only served to enhance the ecstasy thrumming through her veins, leaving the Changeling all but screaming before she finally came down from the orgasm, chest heaving with every gasping breath she took.

"O-oh...god..." Emily managed to get out after a few long moments, "You're...just getting...warmed up...aren't you?"

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

Sakura opened her eyes, and, after taking three deep breaths, nodded, releasing her vice-grip on her servant.

"You're right. They won't come to pass, I know. I know that. Nothing bad is going to happen." She repeated to herself. "And if it does, you and Rider will be able to stop it." She lightly took hold of one of Jeanne's hands before she turned around. Tilting her head back to look at Jeanne, she said, "Let's get back to the kitchen, dinner's probably almost ready, but we can still help set the table!"

[Aiden]

Oren

The Fae snipped two of her fingers together like scissors and playfully cut at her own hand as she responded to Breeze. "Well, only a little. It's like if you had a lot of limbs and I ripped a bunch of them off! But I guess it's not your fault. I told you to do it, but you should think outside the box! This is a beastie not a monster!"

She moved and adjusted as the man rammed a spike into one of the creature's primary eyes. Dainty feet danced on its stony body as it reverberated with noise that almost sounded like a cry of agony before it fell silent. The few appendages that were still moving dropped dead and it collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

Then Oren shifted back into a Lycan. Her hulking form clawed at and slammed her fists down on the body and sent chips of the armor off as she dug for the meat on the inside. She was relentless, and it didn't look as if she would be waiting for anyone else to help her as she worked.

Auspicious Breeze

The gladiator's first question was, well, what was the difference between a 'beastie' and a 'monster' anyway? Was there a certain way she was supposed to fight one that didn't work for the other? And she had been pretty lucky not to be born with a whole bunch of arms! She'd known some other gladiators when she was a kid who did, and it was pretty hard for them to find clothes that fit. Cutting the arms off would have been pretty nice if they could keep from bleeding out.

That Michael guy was pretty impressive though. Everything stopped moving after he did his thing. If he'd needed help she would have stepped back in some more, but he had it under control!

So for now, Breeze stayed quiet and let Oren do her thing which apparently involved a lot of tearing. She'd have started gathering meat, but she wasn't quite sure if they were eating the fake animals or the main body yet. She could ask questions later.

Her stomach rumbled loudly, and she looked down at it sheepishly. I guess it's later!

"Soo... it's done, right? We just need to pick pieces off and make a fire to cook them?"
