Kou Nekata, Lion of the Bad Future
"Two on one might seem unfair, but I promise you would rather it be US than HER.""Speaking of those White Candelabras," Kou trailed off as he glanced at Kyouko, not having missed when the one had been given to her by the red-haired fiend and certainly not missing when he mentioned that there were other factions out there who had other ones as well, making them worthy adversaries if they were going to gather power for the Reason of Yosuga. If they could manage to get their hands on enough of them...maybe when this whole Conception business Chiaki kept rambling on about went down, the three of them would get their say in first. After all, if might made right was the modus operandi they were shooting for, then proving that they were the strongest was a pretty surefire plan for having their own views on the matter heard first. "According to the Fiend, there should be others in Tokyo, Oshu City, Okina City near where Aunt Nyssa had her old home, and...where else but that Supernatural Clusterf***, Inaba. If we're going to collect these magical candlesticks, then we should probably start there and work our way back to here. I don't like leaving my Tower in the hands of these punks for so long, but you've got to do what you've got to do."
He started towards the stairs and then decided instead to turn to his siblings, motioning for Kyouko to use the White Candelabrum instead, knowing it would be quicker to access the so-called 'Network' than to go down 50 flights of stairs and two Prefectures across.
"Might as well put that thing to use," he reasoned, tapping his bat-hand fingers against his bicep on the other side before deciding, "How's Oshu City sound? Somehow I doubt a lot of people are piling into the Reason of Musubi, as they're calling it. Pick off the appetizers first and then move on to the main course...right?"Quote: 25 Tokens

"Show me a hero, and I will write you a tragedy"He had come to the growing metropolis of Port Island-Iwatodai expecting that he would be forced to fight rather a lot by the demons and humans of the Reason of Yosuga, but getting nearly jumped by a trio of thugs wielding high-level devils crowing about how 'Only the strong will survive!' within seconds of his landing near the entrance to Gekkoukan High School was probably a little bit ridiculous. Nonetheless, even with the ambush that had been so-well placed as to jump him the moment he arrived, he called upon his Metatron and drew his twin blades, parrying their attacks smoothly until the opening presented itself for him to kick the feet out from under one of his attackers with a low leg sweep. A moment later the Voice of God crashed its palm down onto the young man's chest after a high-speed, high-rise leap and fall directly overtop of him. The last few days had given he and his devils quite enough time to work out a repertoire of tag-team maneuvers and get the feel for one another in combat; Metatron being the strongest of the bunch that he commanded, they worked together remarkably smoothly by now, since they had plenty of time to train together when dealing with the increasing threats of the apocalypse around them.
The next two got a little wilder after the loss of their friend to a knockout, and the sloppiness their style picked up was a death knell to any chances they had of inflicting real damage upon him. One thrust his arm at him with a knife clutched desperately in the hand, but one smooth swipe of his blade knocked it out of his hands and a moment later, the other blade's tip was at the young man's throat...and not five seconds later than that, his allied demon chokeslammed the other one so hard into the pavement that something cracked...whether it was the boy's head or the pavement you'd have to lift him up to see. Either way he was unconscious; Soji had the other one at his mercy and instead of knocking him loopy in an instant, he decided to use a little intimidation to good effect this time. Metatron loomed menacingly over his shoulder as he let the tip of his sword touch the side of the young man's neck...leaning it ever-so-slightly that the blunt edge was against his skin...but fear would make that little detail invisible to his attacker. Just as good, since he had no intention of really killing him.
"Now, if you don't want to end up like your friend over there, I'd like you to tell me exactly where your base is...and if you've seen the Wolf of Ragnarok anywhere nearby today."Quote: 59 Tokens

"Show me a hero, and I will write you a tragedy"It didn't take much for the senior to convince the last conscious member of his trio of attackers to spill the beans on everything they knew so far about the Reason of Yosuga, their base at the Mist Wall (renamed Mantra) Tower, and the fact that there were some rumors that the Wolf of Ragnarok had indeed been in Iwatodai earlier in the day, heading towards the very same Tower for reasons that nobody had gathered. Useful information, all of it, he thought. Smiling his gratitude, he lowered his sword and replaced it in its sheath, walking past the terrified young man and starting onto the street towards the Tower instead. It wasn't actually all that far from Gekkoukan to the Mist Wall, just through the Iwatodai Station in the opposite direction. He wouldn't need to cross the Moonlight Bridge, thankfully...though it would be nice to pay a visit to Frank the Troll again soon just to make sure the lumpy git was all right. It was still hard to believe the memory from five days earlier, riding on the battleship devil with he and Kai, and the ridiculous hat the Troll had worn at the time. And yet despite how silly it all seemed, they had achieved something that no man had in centuries beyond count, if ever...they had beaten the Lord of Flies. And now here he was back in Iwatodai for the first time since, on the hunt for yet another Bel...trying to figure out what insanity it would take to win this battle, if any.
...Behind him, his Metatron chokeslammed the last attacker into the ground and left him gurgling in the street, before floating behind Soji closely, and if his summoner didn't know better he'd almost say that there was a slightly...leased expression on the silver angel's lips as he did. Huh, they really did love punishing injustice, didn't they? Law types...
"The Mantra...the Mist Wall..." Soji slowly ruminated over what must have happened in this city for such a group to gather and gain root over the course of the last 7 days. A girl who they said obtained the blessing of a powerful Demon was leading them now, and their ideology was something that he absolutely couldn't accept. Strength as the only means to authority? Survival of the fittest? He had known all sorts of people over the last two years, weak, strong, fit, powerful, powerless, and there were merits and precious things about each of them. From the ferocious swordplay of Youmu to the inane jubilant attitude of Shun...to the beautiful loyalty of Minori to the calm inner strength of Genji...to Nix's hidden depths and Kisa's single-minded determination...everybody had their strengths, their important traits that were worth preserving. Humanity wasn't so black and white as the Reason of Yosuga wanted to believe, and to let the world be remade in that image...he couldn't allow that!
His hand brushed over the hilt of his weapon as he made his way into the Iwatodai Station, a beef bowl place with blown-out windows on the second floor immediately making his stomach growl. Had he forgotten to eat today? There had been so much on his mind, but...no, he needed to keep moving. Perhaps when he was finished...when he learned something...he could head back to Okina City for one of Heaven's Finest Burgers. A perfect fuel for the battle to come...
But first...the Mist Wall. It loomed not far off now. And Soji readied himself for the relentless fight to come.Quote: 64 Tokens

"Show me a hero, and I will write you a tragedy"He felt like Cloud in Midgar, staring up at the ShinRa Tower looming high in the sky overhead.
God, that was a great game, and not a metaphor that was entirely without merit in this situation, given that he was standing in the heart of a man-made city staring up at the largest Tower in the whole of it, getting ready to enter and ascend towards the top floors of the massive structure in order to achieve a goal. Although he wasn't exactly going in to save Aerith, there was a girl at the top of the Tower that he was hoping that he could manage to bring back to the side of the angels, and surely there were powerful things at the top, abominations not unlike the wretched experiments of the mad Dr. Hojo, with whom he would have to tangle in order to achieve his goals. There was even the question of whether or not he should take the front door or try to sneak in through one of the side entrances and ascend the stairs unnoticed, which...if he was totally honest...was probably the better plan even if 50 flights of stairs on top of the fights that were sure to come was maybe a step (see what he did there?) too far for the short amount of time that he had at his disposal. Then again with no power there were no elevators, so stairs were necessary whichever way he went. He might reduce the number of enemies if he went in the side and slipped up the stairs until he reached the executive levels, but...ah Hell, he thought, let's Barrett this s**t up!
"I'm here to see President ShinRa!" the silver-haired Senior smirked as he booted open the front door and burst into the lobby of the Mist Wall Tower, now known as the Mantra Tower and the Headquarters of the Reason of Yosuga Faction where Chiaki Tachibana and the power of some God had allowed them to throw their hat into the race to recreate this world, "That is to say...take me to your leader?" He chuckled under his breath and brushed away a bead of sweat that rolled down the side of his head, as his ashen eyes glanced around the room and saw that only a few, cursory, low-level demons guarded the facility's lowest floor. Glancing at one another, the little devils seemed almost taken aback before shrugging, turning towards Soji, and lunging!
...And promptly finding themselves pinned to the walls on either side of the lobby by blades, bleeding black blood all over the place until they reduced to magatsuhi. He could hear the devils stir on the floors overhead now, sensing something amiss, almost as if they were waiting for him. If Fenrisulfr was somewhere in here (did that make Fenrisulfr the Red XIII or the Aerith?), he'd know somebody was coming for him by now. No reason to be stealthy about it, he supposed.
"All right, new plan..." Soji smirked, drawing out his blade and holding it down to his side ominously as he stalked towards the stairs, "...Looks like I'm going to have to Sephiroth this place up a little to get what I want, instead."
Demons, be warned.Quote: 69 Tokens

 Ellie TroitEllie landed in Iwatodai with little incident, a hand moving to her mouth lightly as she did.
"Whew....Close call there.." she called, her own stomach lurching a bit every time she passed through the winding..twisting corridor. Yet, as she looked up at the town...She couldn't help but feel a sort of vague nostalgia.
"I should come here more often..When we restore the world." she called, before looking up at the massive tower...And her eyes going wide.
"Well, I know where I'm going!" she called, before starting towards the building. There would be plenty of things in there..And, if she was lucky..
A trail of demons welcomed her....And were easily knocked aside. No..now that she had a purpose.. A goal..

She would faaaace the world! Somehow she'd be strong!
And she knew..How ev~ery Mile...would be worth her while..
"I would go most, anywhere...To fiiiiiiiiind..Where I.."
Oh, the doors were already pushed in. That made things easier.
The girl was approaching the Mist-wall, the tallest part of Iwatodai the centerpiece for whatever chaos was going to be unfolding...
And, as she readied her weapons, the welcoming committee was about to make their entrance.

Ellie TroitA stunning entrance...and a small horde of combat..
That's what was greeting her on the base...And, as she cut through them..she could catch a hint of silver, going up the steps.
"Ah..! Wait up!" she called, starting after the boy with an outstretched hand. "I'd..love to just say it's dangerous here...But, we know that already..don't we..Seta?"
She stood a bit, dusting herself off as she presented to the Silver haired Hero..and grinned widely.
"You can always use a bit extra help, right?" she called, holding her weapons up. "I can fight too, ya know! And I'd be honored if you'd let me help you ascend this tower....Seta."
She was confident in her abilities..Be it cooking, or fighting. And, if the boy would have her...
He'd have a party member at his side! Quote: Demons: The Harlot [69] Nyx [70] Aciel [77] Micheal [90] Metatron [98] High Pixie. [10]+2+2 Aeros.

 Shun FujomakiWHUMPFThe boy landed with all of the grace of a clumsy tiger, and with all of the strength of a weary typhoon....
Yet, as he stood up from his fall, No less worse for wear...He quickly posed with his weapons.
"I'm here to help, Seta!" he called, using his swords to divine which way he headed....
And just going straight for the tallest building in the area. Hey, there were always boss battles atop that sort of thing anyways...So, it was only obvious that he would be there...
And, he'd show Seta he meant business yet! They were pals after all, right? Wingmates! That kind of thing.
And, no demons....weak or strong, were going to keep him apart from his friend! ...But, they could come along for the ride, if they wanted. Like the Pyro-Jack, curious about the fire in the boy's eyes.

Shun FujomakiShun wasted no time in dashing through Iwatodai, cutting through demons that appeared, and darting towards the doors.
"Never Fear! For Shun-Strife is here to take you down, Corrupt company Shinra!"
Yes, he was thinking of Final Fantasy 7 as well. Good game!
"I'm coming to save you, Aerith! And or RedXIII! I don't know which, but I'm here!"
To his great lament, the doors were already open....So, he did the only logical thing.
Close them....
and then KICK them open again.
"I HAVE COME TO SAVE EVERYTHING!"
There was something about the Nihilo that turned at him...Noticing his display...
But were quickly swatted aside by Metatron, who merely put an X up, in the form of his arms. They weren't getting in...
Not as it was.

Soji Seta, Investigation Team Leader
"Show me a hero, and I will write you a tragedy"Five floors into the Mist Wall Tower and Soji had made quite good on his promise to, quote, "Go all Sephiroth on their asses." Or maybe that wasn't the quote, it was hard to remember after five levels of pure, unadulterated demon slaughter that had left sword lines carved into the walls, demon bodies littering the floor bleeding out before slowly dispersing into magatsuhi, and thick black blood smeared across the walls and floors and everything that got between he and the upper levels of the Mist Wall. Perhaps it all sounded a little more brutal than one expected from the leader of the Investigation Team, but when you considered that the demons in question were dedicated to an ideal of destroying the weak and stamping them under foot, coupled with the fact that pretty much all of them had attacked him rather viciously with the intention of killing him on the spot and preventing him from climbing the Tower by any means necessary, the fact that he had killed them was likely the most obvious of options. That he was in a full-on Sephiroth cosplay (in his mind) at the moment only made the battle that he was engaged in a little more detached and allowed him to find some measure of enjoyment in the fights that might have otherwise become repetitive. Alas, that 'cosplay' had to come to an end at some point, and when the voice of another Restoration member attempting to climb the Tower came from the level behind him just as he prepared for the 6th Floor, he turned with a half-smile despite the black blood splattered all over his clothes and nodded once, remembering her from the shop with those Heavenly Burgers in Okina City.
"You're right. This place is crawling with powerful enemies," he nodded his agreement when she noted just how dangerous things had been up until now...how they would only get more dangers the higher they climbed. And really, when he thought about the picture in his mind when he first arrived and the challenge that lay before him...there was really no reason to decline assistance from somebody with a little bit of talent. "Guess I can't say no if you want to play the Tifa to my Cloud on this one. We'll reach the top of this Tower and make President ShinRa pay..." Had she played the game? He hoped she played the game. Explaining references made them so much less clever. Speaking of...he could vaguely hear a familiar voice on the lower levels, but he couldn't quite tell what he was saying. He recognized the sound of the voice, however, and smirked to himself as he set his sword lazily against his shoulder.
"Sounds like we've got a Barrett on the way, too. It's a regular LARP party up in here," he chuckled to himself, glancing at Ellie then the door to the stairs where the sound was coming from and the door ahead of them in turn, "Chiaki, the Reason of Yosuga, the Mantra...they don't stand a chance."Quote: 69 Tokens

Ellie TroitEllie grinned lightly as the boy nodded at her assessment of the threat...and then welcomed her into his party.
"Sounds like a plan!" she called, falling into a mimic of the after mentioned girl's fighting stance. She hadn't played the game fully...Not enough to understand any underlying implications of playing the Tifa to his Cloud...
But enough to know the characters. And, as she was climbing..no doubt, someone else was barging in. Someone loud, destructive..and definitely for their help.

Shun FujomakiFive floors...
For any normal human, that would be quite an ordeal..Stairs and all. But, for the boy, powered by his sheer force of will, coupled with his kickass demonic allies, and the will to join up with his friend...
That was just all in a day's work for Shun Fujomaki! He darted, leaps and bounds ahead of any demonic enemies that sought to catch him...Moving to group up with his pal in a short manner. That was what friends did after all, right?
"I'm coming to help, Cloud!" the boy called, his twin swords at the ready. "So don't go starting the party without me!"
There was a brief pause on the edge of the floor...Shun having to stop when a demon stood before him..His phone blipping away.
'A powerful one..Eh?" he called, before dashing forward. "Well, time for my..Limit Break!"[/b[
He didn't have a Big Bang to show off...But, he did have a VICIOUS slash with both of his blades, moving in like a Braver from The game they were thinking of. The first level skill...
Surely, Soji wouldn't be mad that he borrowed one tiiiiiiiiny limit break from him, right?

"Show me a hero, and I will write you a tragedy"Alone, Soji had been more than enough to climb the first five floors of the Mist Wall-turned-Mantra Tower and slay pretty much every demon that tried to bar his path from the higher levels; with Ellie by his side, he didn't imagine anything would be a threat for the coming five, either. But when Shun made his rather glorious entrance, borrowing a Cloud Strife technique to carve through a couple of devils that were attempting to bar the path to the 6th Floor above them he couldn't and obviously didn't even have an inkling of anger or annoyance about it. The more the merrier on this particular climb, right? He smirked as his somewhat eccentric second companion on the journey entered into the fray, and without waiting he dashed past the sizzling wreckage of what had once been a devil before Shun destroyed it and took the stairs two at a time, anything that got into their path meeting a swift end at the tip of his blade, Shun's skills, or Ellie's overwhelming power. 5 Floors without any trouble? 20 Floors might have been a more accurate estimate in the amount of time it would take them to find any horde of demons really worth their time to fight at this rate. There was a reason he felt like he could trust his new friend to be a wing-man at any time, and there was a reason Ellie was considered a heroine, and the trio of them together were a wrecking ball that smashed through five levels of the Mist Wall like nothing.
By the time that they had reached Level 10, they had barely broken a sweat. By Level 15, they were still waiting for something to bar their path that would make them even slow their ascent. And on Level 20, they finally found a demon that had the courage and some skill to stand between they and the path to the 21st Level that was worthy of their attention. This one was familiar, but not to the three of them...to another trio half the country away, having crossed blades with them several days earlier and come out on the lesser side of the matter. This time, it had its work cut out for it again.
"Yaksini...would you be Elena or Scarlett in this scenario?" he mused aloud, referencing the game the trio of climbers had been talking about the entire way up, drawing his twin swords out in front of him in preparation for the fight to come, "Sorry, but we're going all the way to the top to have a conversation with your masters. You're either going to stand aside or find out what it feels like to be on the wrong end of my Finishing Touch."
Commitment to the gimmick, man. Had to love it.

Soji Seta, Investigation Team Leader
"Show me a hero, and I will write you a tragedy"He didn't know exactly how he did it. All he knew was that he had done it, and it was freaking amazing.
Starting the battle against Yaksini out, they quickly discovered that she had become much stronger than in her previous incarnation against the Nekata Trio (though they had know way of knowing that this was a strong version since none of them were present at hte time), but even if the Yaksini was much stronger than before, there was the little detail that this time she was up against mothereffin' Soji Sea, the Heroine Ellie, and...Shun-Barrett, who despite his lack of experience in combat prior to the Apocalypse had adapted surprisingly well to this sort of thing over the last 7 days. So even if the devil had gotten stronger, it found itself outmatched by the overwhelming swordplay of the silver-haired senior, the skills of the emerald-haired heroine, and the unpredictable attacks of the third member of their own terrible trio. Pushed back against the wall in rather short order, the sword-wielding devil realized that it was going to take some kind of a miracle or a very large, surprise attack in order to turn the tide of the fight. That was where she was at when she avoided what would have been a deadly blow by Shun by diving towards the windows on the edge of the 20th Floor and came up with two swords drawn, jamming them into the floor as a terrible power began to fill her...the power that had been gifted to her when she pledged herself wholeheartedly to the service of the Baal Avatar, its host, and the Reason of Yosuga. If she unleashed it, she was certain...it didn't matter how strong the fighters against her were, there was no way she wouldn't finish them off!
"You humans are fools to believe you can defeat Baal Avatar! His power is divine! His host is now the strongest human on Earth! All life will bow before his almighty power...but you, here and now, you will di-*shatter*-AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
...That scream was the sound of a devil being stricken by a powerful gust of wind created by the swords of the silver-haired Senior, lifting her up into the air and smashing her through the window behind her, launching her unceremoniously through the glass and out into the city, the series of slices from the wind tearing her into pieces and removing her from the battlefield entirely. Soji watched what he had just done with no small amount of surprise, examining his blades as if to ask them what exactly had just happened.
Yes, he had just used the Limit Break - Finishing Touch. As promised. And no, he didn't know how he had done it. But yes, it was freaking awesome. This whole thing was getting awesome. So awesome that he nearly forgot for that one moment exactly what he was here to do again. Until he remembered...Obelyn, Fenrisulfr, Loki...he turned and looked at his duo of partners for this adventure and shrugged, before nodding towards the stairs beyond.
"Yeah, so..." he chuckled uneasily, not able to explain what just happened and barely containing his excitement at having done it. Some things were better off unexplained. "Let's keep moving?"
Yes, let's.
...
But as he reached the door to the 21st Floor stairs a man with white hair strolled out of it smoothly, nearly bumping into his silver-haired counterpart before dancing smoothly around him and continuing to walk...only pausing a little ways past him, glancing over his shoulder and speaking out loud. There was an amusing lilt to his voice, or was it amused? Soji heard him and turned back, wondering exactly what it was that the man found so amusing.
"So, you're the one. The human that got drawn into the War of the Fiends. That means you must know Sports Bra and Snake-Eyes," the man looked at him out of a side-eyed glance as if appraising him, lips curling into a rueful smirk, "You know, this war wasn't meant for your type. If you've lasted this long holding onto that Candelabrum, you must be a pretty terrifying guy. I can dig that about you." He smirked, almost as if laughing under his breath about something, yet despite the way that he spoke, Soji couldn't help but feel that there was no real malice or mocking in it. He recognized this guy from the stories as well...the white hair, the red coat, the e-mail they'd received yesterday about his challenge to Kisa and the rest of them? This was Dante the Demon Slayer...who had likely been checking out the Tower for his own curiosity, but now was making his way out. Or maybe this meeting was more than mere fate? The way Dante was looking at him like he had something to say made him wonder about that...
"And you're Dante. The pleasure is all mine," he answered, pulling out the Candelabrum of Eternity and letting its flame flicker faintly, almost as if recognizing that this person was one who had once held one of his own before it was given away, "I don't know how terrifying I am...but I know how terrifying these are. Kisa has fought hard to claim hers, and I've nearly died so many times already defending mine I can hardly count them. Daisoujou, Belzaboul...but I've survived this long holding onto this. I don't intend to give it up to anyone now." He answered confidently, and Dante turned to look at him more fully, as if estimating some important bit of information about him. He crossed his arms and walked slowly in a circle around the Senior, fingers tapping his chin animatedly as he looked him over. For his part, Soji didn't move...felt almost as if flinching right now, blinking, would lose him some important game...and so he didn't. By the time Dante was behind him, he could feel his eyes boring into him, so hard that he almost missed the voice that filled the air once more.
"Is that right...? So, what do you plan to do with it?" A piercing question, right to the heart of the matter. Soji knew it was coming, but even now, he had to think about his answer.
"I'm going to defend it. The power these things have...nobody should possess them all. That's what I believe."
A pause, poignant, and this time he could feel the danger in the room rise drastically.
"And what if Sports Bra tries to take it from you?"
No hesitation.
"I will work with her to Restore the world to what it was...but if she insists on taking it for the power it holds, I won't let her have it. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and that's what he is counting on. We either stand together, or we fall on our own."
Dante chuckled, circling back around to the front and settling in front of him with a smirk.
"You know I've seen her fight...she packs a pretty mean punch, that one. Think you can survive if she comes at you with all she's got?"
This time it was Soji's turn to smirk, looking at him with absolute confidence.
"It's not going to come to that. I believe in Kisa. I believe that she's learned to trust in the power of humanity. And if she exists in a world that is caught between the demons and humanity...then I will stand on the side of mankind to keep her grounded! But even so...!" his fist clenched, and there was no hint of innocence or naivete in his eyes when he met Dante's, the intensity therein making the Demon Slayer click his tongue in approval, "If ever she were to change her mind...to turn on humanity and seek absolute power on her own...I'll be there to take her down and drag her back down to Earth. You can count on that."
A moment passed as they watched one another...intensely, almost as if neither wished to blink, wished to back down...and then...
A whistle filled the air, the Demon Slayer turning his back on Soji and crossing his arms behind his head as if relaxing, his lips curling into a wide smirk that no one in the room but he could see.
"Well said. ...What's your name, kid?"
"Seta...Soji Seta."
"Soji Seta...you'd make for one Hell of a Fiend yourself, kid," he turned and pointed at him, smirking in approval, "Remember what you said here. Never back down from what you stand for. That's what it means to be a man."
Having said his piece, Dante turned and started towards the stairs down...but this time it was Soji's turn to interrupt his exit, his words stopping him mid-stride.
"And what about you? What do you stand for?"
Dante smirked...that was easy.
"Me? I'm just a Lady-Killing, Pizza-Eating, Demon-Slaying bounty hunter. The name's Dante...don't hesitate to call."
And just like that, with a little two-fingered wave...Dante the Demon Slayer was gone. And the 21st Tower awaited them all.Quote: 84 Tokens
