04. 01. 2012 1:00 pm It only took a few moments for setup, and only a few moments longer for Allan to begin pulling open a portal. It was almost anti-climatic.
"All right, we're off, everyone stay on guard." Sand began to seep from the portal already onto the training field, the air vicious and warm. The Sun Leader plunged into the portal, weapon drawn, several Hunters following quickly behind him. Only the trainees were left, left with no other choice than to run hastily into the portal-
- Into the center of a battle field. The hardest part was not to trip over the bodies already lying on the ground, and by the time the shock wore off, the screech of something unearthly would snap them immediately back to reality. There was no time for guilt, no time for feelings of loss, no time to acknowledge the bodies. The only thing in everyone's mind was the now.
As the Sun division lead moved away to assist the Hunters already on the battlefield, the ground split open mere inches away from Harrison, a large centipede-like creature, glistening black, spewing black acid, searing the ground and any trainees it came in contact with, tearing into their Fear Shields. A heartbeat later a second, and then third also tore from the ground, rattling the earth as it reared up to an impressive ten-foot span, mandibles clacking hungrily. They were surrounded.
BATTLE MECHANICS: TWIN CENTIPEDES TWIN CENTIPEDES: HP 100 EACHRULES PART 1:- This is a DOUBLE BOSS FIGHT mechanic. Please continue to use part 1 mechanics until part 2 is activated. Part 2 is activated whenever one of the centipedes dies. Simply move on and begin to roll from part 2. - You must target ONE of the centipedes PER POST: Boss 1 OR Boss 2. Boss 1 spits acidic poison (ACID), Boss 2 spits basic poison (BASE) . [ Boss 1 ] : SUCCESSFULLY HITTING BOSS 1 will make it turn its head towards you and spit acid (if you miss, and it is your first turn, then nothing happens, you can choose a target again) - It will CORRODE YOUR FEAR SHIELD and needs to be neutralized. If you do not attack BOSS 2 successfully (a hit) your NEXT post, you will automatically take 5 starting ACID damage- You will continue to take an ADDITIONAL 5 ACID damage every turn you miss boss 2 (so ACID turn 1 = 5 damage, turn 2 = 10 damage, turn 3 = 15 damage, etc ) until you hit Boss 2 successfully and your Fear shield is now coated with NEW BASE damage. See boss 2 now for mechanics. [ Boss 2 ] : - SUCCESSFULLY HITTING BOSS 2 will make it turn its head towards you and spit base (if you miss, and it is your first turn, then nothing happens, you can choose a target again) - IT WILL ALSO CORRODE YOUR FEAR SHIELD and needs to be neutralized- If you do not attack BOSS 1 successfully (a hit) your NEXT post, you will automatically take 5 BASE damage. You will continue to take an ADDITIONAL 5 BASE damage every turn you miss boss 1 (so base turn 1 = 5 damage, turn 2 = 10 damage, turn 3 = 15 damage, etc ) until you hit boss 1 successfully and your Fear shield is now coated with NEW ACID DAMAGE. See boss 1 now for mechanics. [ Part 1 Breakdown ] : - The point is of course, to continue to rotate bosses. Let's say for example, you hit boss one (successful hit). You will get hit with ACID DAMAGE. You then attack boss two next turn and you miss. You will take -5 starting ACID DAMAGE. You attack boss two again (for base) and miss. You take another -5 ACID PLUS another -5 ACID DAMAGE STACKED, so you are taking -10 damage this turn. You attack and miss again, you are now taking -10 PLUS another -5 ACID DAMAGE STACKED, making it -15 damage this turn. Finally, you attack boss 2 and hit, you are spit with BASE. Now, your character is hit with base on their Fear shield. Their BASE damage is now reset to -5 for the next turn they miss, -10 turn two, -15 turn three, etc etc. - Basically, you only take stacking damage when you miss (and are alternating bosses) [ SAMPLE BOSS ROUND ] : - Player A attacks boss one. (Miss) No damage! - Player A attacks boss one (Hit!) Fear shield is now ACID. - Player A attacks boss one (Hit!) Fear shield is still ACID. They take -5 damage (first turn with corrosive acid effect) - Player A decides to now hit boss two (Miss). They are still infected with ACID damage that stacks. They take -10 damage (second turn with corrosive acid effect) - Player A decides to now hit boss two (Miss). They are still infected with ACID damage that stacks. They take -15 damage (the third turn with corrosive acid effect) - Player A is now stupid and decides to hit boss one instead (Hit!) They now take - 20 damage, because their Fear shield is still ACID. - Player A finally decides to hit boss two. (Hit!) Their Fear shield is now BASE. Their damage is reset back to -5 BASE for the next turn. They take no damage this turn - Player A attacks boss two (Hit!). They now take -5 BASE damage this turn. Their Fear shield is still BASE and it is their second turn. - Player A moves back to boss one (Hit!). Now their Fear shield is reset to ACID, they take no damage this turn. - Player A attacks boss two now (Hit!) Their Fear shield is reset to BASE, they take no damage this turn, etc etc. ((OOC: [b]ATTACKING BOSS 1 OR 2:[/b]

Tedan came out of the portal ... and straight into a battle. "Aaah!" he wasn't really all that ashamed of screaming as one of the monster loomed up ahead of him by no more than a few feet. Couldn't they have gotten warned they were going into a fight?! I mean sure, he guessed that being given bandages, Runic weapons and so on could hint at it but ... still! Come on, man!
Summoning Arda quickly, Tedan tried taking a swipe back at the monster, but being pretty much totally unprepared, he missed.

He hardly felt a thing. It was the Sahara. It was meant to be hot, it likely was. But he didn't feel a ******** thing.
< William? ..William.. please. >
Not a ******** thing.
He didn't even notice the bodies, they were irrelevant. All that mattered was the mission.
As the massive centipedes burst from the ground, he looked over only to be met with the sight of one of the things almost hitting Harrison. He turned his attention on the other.
Summoning Tracey, he charged in and swung with almost all the force he possessed, the collision should have sent a shock of agony through his bad shoulder. He still didn't feel anything. But at least having something to attack, something to crazily swing at helped. He didn't have to think, he simply acted.

Upon walking through the portal, Deryk felt a vaguely familiar blast of dry heat hitting him. He was back at the Sahara. The last time he was here, it had been a nightmare. And quite frankly, it wasn't much better this time around. There were already bodies littered everywhere. That and there were two very large centipede beast things here.
Tooley hummed softly in his head, trying to sooth his nerves. It helped a little, but not by a whole lot.
"Alright.. Let's do this," he uttered before calling her out. Fidgeting in place a bit, he ran forth, jumping into the air before stabbing into one of the beasts with the hidden blade, only to get hit with some acid in turn. It... didn't seem like it did any damage right now?

He did not want to be here.
This was Gale's first thought as he stepped through the portal into the middle of absolute chaos. The scent of hot sand and desert air hit his nose immediately, along with the horrid, thick, sickly sweet smell of something else, something entirely too familiar.
There were already bodies on the ground. A sharp, metallic taste on his tongue, Gale tried his best to ignore them and keep walking, tried to keep moving forward without looking down.
Don't think about it.
Something screamed through the air - an unearthly, bone chilling screech that seemed to reverberate through his entire body, resounding in his very heart and mind. It made him nauseated just thinking about it, but Gale did not have the time, nor the luxury, to dwell on it. There was a horrible tremor that shivered through the sandy ground and something huge, something enormous burst upwards, spraying sand everywhere and only narrowly missing Harrison. Black, gooey tar spit out across the ground, sizzling and fizzling, and Gale felt the shock slam into his FEAR shield, echoing loudly inside of his head.
Jinhai!
<< What the JACK - >>
They were centipedes, and they were gigantic, stretching out horrifyingly above their heads. Gale felt the heavy, reassuring weight of the rifle appear in his hands as he summoned his weapon, his blood seizing in his veins.
Jinhai. It was not a question.
<< I'm ready. >>
Gale swung the gun around, closing one eye, the other focused through the telescopic lens.
All right, let's go.
There was an earsplitting bang as he fired off several rounds in succession, each one familiar and reassuring to Gale. This was just another mission, just another mission, he kept telling himself.
Here we go.

Centipedes. ******** centipedes. It had to be bugs. Jordan was summoning Ferros even as he got his bearings, the massive creatures a clear and obvious target. The things seemed willing to let themselves be attacked; Ferros impacted heavily against carapace with a satisfying crunch.
The creature twisted and spat, and Jordan yelped something wordless, startled, what was this? The reason the centipedes were letting their attackers get close so easily, probably. He fell back, watching the things and looking for any indication of what the fluid did.

This smell was very familiar now. It smelled just like the wind during that external mission with Clarice, though now it was well..real. Not just a scent on the wind. She made a face of discomfort at the rush of heat, digging into her bag for a pair of sunglasses and strapping them on. Couldn't have them falling off! She fidgeted with her gloves, looking around...and spotting the bodies. Her stomach churned at the sight as she carefully stepped over and around a few Hunter corpses.
You'll be fine, Candace. She'd be okay. She'd be fine. She could do this. You've made it this far, this long, this hard. You can do this. You know how to survive. You know. You'll be okay.
Oh, lovely. Centipedes. Candace was quick to summon Atropos. "Should've practiced more on sand after that fight with the Conquest kid." She muttered to herself, skating over the sand and jumping when she was close enough to the centipedes. She gave one of them a small cut, but it got the thing's attention.
How did she know?
Acid burns.

One moment they were in the clear - and then, on the other side of the portal, was-
Was-
Don't think about it!! Kouki hissed into her mind, a sound like a teakettle rising to boil. We must bite!
The centipedes surged upwards, thrashing sand over her; Madison drew two blades and drove forward without letting herself think about what she was stepping on, what was giving under her feet that wasn't sand, what scent was in her nostrils. She twisted and slashed, Kouki's blades skidding beneath a chitinous plate. A spew of goop answered the blade's bite, coating them thoroughly.
Ew. Ew. Ew. What the ********, ew.

This was the second time he had been to the Sahara. When had been his first time? Months ago, if he recalled correctly. His eyes slowly took in the sight of sand seeping through the portal once Allan opened it. Was it Wilson or had the world suddenly turned silent once he stepped through? It must have been him. Just a few seconds for him to step through and enter the battlefield, where suddenly his ability to hear returned to him full blast. He barely registered the fallen hunter he nearly tripped over. Wilson’s eyes frantically searched the area, attempting to take in the sights and sounds assaulting his senses, but a hoarse voice screeched in his ear for him to stop looking dumbly at the scenery. [Quit lolling around, Youngin’!]
The sound of crumbling ground met his ears and when Wilson turned toward it he found a long, spindly creature unearthing itself. Silently, the trainee adjusting his mask as he gave it a long look, not registering the visible shudder as the monster shrieked and clacked its mandibles. Centipede. The name flashed through his mind. This was a giant centipede. Again, his weapon screamed in his mind and Wilson complied, rushing forward to attack with a small shot of gas, only to be countered with a spray of liquid. He winced. What is that…? His eyes widened when he realized what damage it was doing to his FEAR shield.

Ennéa stepped through the portal and froze. For a wild moment, she thought she was still in the pod, still trapped in her own nightmares. But no, this was real. Horrifyingly real.
"Why is it always bugs?" She muttered.
With shaking hands she summoned Baraz. He materialized before her and she grasped his wooden handle in a white-knuckled grip. In her mind, the ahriman's silvery blue eye looked at her and Ennéa had the sense that he was going to say something but then he didn't.
She didn't have time to wonder about that though as Maddie was already moving to attack one of the giant centipedes. Ennéa quickly followed her friend's lead, gritting her teeth and swinging at the giant insect with her axe.

The Sahara. Just as hot and sandy as Sherry remembered it. It could have been pleasant, in an exotic sort of way. Sherry wished it could have been. Instead, it was a battlefield. A full blow, Hunters-already-down battlefield.
"Oh dear lord, those things are huge!!" She focused her attention on the enemy, and way from the bodies. She would forever associate desert with bodies.
Armagnac didn't have to speak, Sherry was already summoning her. As she took a swing at the nearest of the giant centipede things, Sherry was glad her weapon gave her at least a bit of distance.
Large as it was, their opponent was quick and writhing, and be it that or just plain fail, Sherry missed her target. Armagnac said something about not being able to hit the broadside of a barn.

Bodies.
The fact they'd come straight through the portal into a battlefield barely registered as surprising to Michael at this point but...
Bodies.
He swallowed as the image of blank eyes and hissing snakes flashed to the forefront of his mind.
It was then that the centipedes chose to burst through the ground.
<<STRIKE STRIKE>>
Michael lashed out instinctively having become so used to this method of fighting now through their practise. What he hadn't been prepared for was the goo he got coated in for doing so.
What the hell? He thought, dodging around corpses to avoid being crashed by the massive behemoth.

He went for the other centipede this time, the gun firing off several shots that rang in Gale's ears. The sound was reassuring to him somehow - perhaps because it helped to drown out his own thoughts, helped to keep himself from listening to anything else.
Just focus on the task at hand.
Don't think about it.

Jude got there and then summoned his weapon as he watched he wished he had a big bottle of bug spray or something because this s**t was crazy. He didn't know what he was supposed to do first and thus he lunged forward with his punching daggers aiming to hit one of the centipede-like creatures only to stumble and fall short of his target.
..This was a glorious start.
