Fate of The World Session 11

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

"Again!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

"Do it again!!!!!!!!!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

You looked up from your lunch and up the stairs to see that Holly and Renee were still doing their 'confidence training'. You had no goddamn clue how this would help Holly at all, but they seemed to be having fun, so you didn't stop them.

You just wish they'd be less loud about it. The last thing you need is a noise complaint from your landlord. It was another few minutes of yelling before the two of them finally stopped and came downstairs stopping in front of you.

"Now tell em Holly!" Renee cheered

"You...y-you....!" Holly tried before shaking a bit

"You can do it!"

"You...you're gonna....I'M SORRY!" Holly exclaimed breaking down into a whimper "I can't say anything mean to Hiro!"

Renee let out a sigh of defeat before rubbing Holly's back "It's okay, we'll pick it up tomorrow."  Renee said

>So what was I 'gonna' do?
>Seriously, stop being so loud before we get a noise complaint
>You'll get there Holly
>Other/Write-in

>So what was I 'gonna' do?

At your question Holly meekly looks away, a blush on her face "I-I wa-was supposed to say that you were gonna...e-eat shit!" Holly mumbles

You couldn't help but laugh at that, hearing Holly say such things just made you chuckle since she really didn't seem the type to say anything like that at all. Still, you felt like you had to at least reassure her in some way.

"You'll get it next time Holly." You say taking a bite out of your food

"R-really? You think so?"

"I'm sure you will...just try to be quieter next time?"

"Oh! S-sorry Hiro..."

"Aw don't listen to him, we're gonna build you up Holly, just you wait and see!" Renee said with a smile

"Yeah, we'll get you there in due time. Just take it slow." You say to her in hopes to cheer her up "Besides, it's one of our off days, we should use this time to relax."

"Hiro's right. Things have only been getting a bit worse at the office

"W-what happened?" Holly asked

"Tom in accounting had a nervous breakdown and trashed his work station..."

"O-oh..."

>What will you do?

>Aclhemy(Rhino Horn and Spear)
>89+11=100

"Oooh! My turn!" Renee says running up to Ryza, "Can you mix these two things?" She says handing the young Alchemist the Rhino horn and her spear.

"Okay, I'll give it a shot." Ryza says as she starts mixing the items together, unlike with your gun, there's no issue of things possibly being destroyed and in a few mere minutes Ryza has finished her work and lifts the spear out of the pot.

"W-whoa, this thing is heavy..." Ryza grunts as she hands it to Renee, who nearly falls over from grabbing it.

"Ugh...yeah...it's kinda heavy, but no doubt it'll hit hard though!"

>You obtained Rhino Spear!

"Is there anything else Hiromu? I wanna see what else I can make next!" Ryza exclaims with a giddy smile

>Anything else you want to make?

>Delicious Burger roll(108)

"Hey Ryza, can you make us more of those burgers?" You ask "It kinda saved our asses in more than one instance."

"Sure thing, just gimme a sec!" Ryza replies running to the fridge and pulling out the necessary items and tossing them into the pot. A part of you is groaning at the fact that she just casually went into your fridge, but the other is more than happy that you're getting more of those burgers.

It takes only a few minutes before she's finishing brewing and you're presented with your food.

"Ta-da! Fresh from my Alchemist's pot to your table! Hope you enjoy them Hiromu!"

You can't contain yourself and take a bite out of one of them, with the ladies opting to do the same. Seriously, you think Ryza could win an award for these things. She'd definitely put a few 5-star chefs to shame if she shared this creation with them.

>Obtained Delicious Burger x6!

"Got anything else you want me to whip Hiromu?" Ryza asks

>Anything else? If no, choose somethin' else to do

>Velvet Room

"That'll be all for now Ryza." You say as she returns to your COMP. "I think it's time we head over to the velvet room."

"Okay." The girls reply in unison as you all make the trek up to your bedroom. Goddammit, why does it still hurt that you aren't coming up here for something more risque, but you quiet that part of your mind down as you all step through the blue portal once again.

"Hello my friends. So good to see you. I am sorry you had to go through such a terrible ordeal Ms.Byrd." Igor says

"Oh it was no big deal...well, the Rhino and that Kyle guy were a pain, but still, I pulled through!" Renee replies flashing a victory sign

"And too glad am I to hear it. Now then, let me not delay you any longer. Please, go about your business as you were."

You nod to Igor and head over to Mirei's room, where the mysterious woman greets you as usual

"Welcome to the three of you. How may I help you?" Mirei asks

>Summon new allies with common crystals(Choose who)
>Summon new allies with Rare Crystals(Choose who)
>Power up Allies
>Leave

>Power up
>Ace
>Ryza
>Duran
>Miku
>Y'shtola
>Rajaki
>Darkness
>Aurora

"We're gonna power some up." You say

"Very well, I'm sure I do not need to say what needs to be done." Mirei replies

You nod in response and take some of the crystals, each of you pouring their power into your respective allies.

Ace grew to level 7!
Ace's Flame Pillar became Flame Spiral!
>Ryza grew to level 8!
>Duran grew to level 7!
>Miku grew to level 5!
>Miku learned PoPiPo!
>Y'shtola grew to level 4!
>Rajaki grew to level 4!
>Darkness grew to level 4!
>Aurora grew to level 4!

Once that's done, Mirei looks at you again, still all smiles "What shall you do next?"

>Summon new allies with common crystals(Choose who)
>Summon new allies with Rare Crystals(Choose who)
>Power up Allies
>Leave

>Leave, go to Hanekoma's shop

"That'll be all for now Mirei."

"Very well, do come back soon. The Digimon have been wanting to hear more about your adventures."

"Right..." You say leaving the room and returning to the main area of the velvet room. "Hey, how about we check out Hanekoma's place?" You say to the girls

"Sure why not. He could finally have some updated stock." Renee shrugged

"O-okay, let's go see him." Holly said as the three of you walked inside, once again appearing in the empty coffee shop

"Hey there kids, am I glad to see you!"

"Why's that?" You ask with a raised eyebrow

"Got some new items in stock! Thanks to a...generous donor." He says looking at you and laughing "anyways, go on and take a look! Oh, I also noticed that Alchemist girl of yours came across some really interesting items. Thought I'd scrounge some up for myself too. Anyway, enough talk, take a look!"

>Medicine($50)
>Chakra drop($100)
>Revival Bead($300)
>Patra Stone($100)
>Doppel source($700)
>Dis-Poison($150)
>Double Barrel SMG($500)

>Metal bat 400

>Claymore 600
>Doppelsource 700 x2
>3 Soma Drops
>2 Amrita Soda
>1 Chakra Drop
>1 Medicine

You gather up your items you purchase and hand over the cash to Hanekoma. He snickers to himself counting the money as you put your new items away

"What the hell does that money even go to anyway?"

"Oh you know, this and that." He replies with a laugh

"...Right, sure. Thanks Mr.Hanekoma." You reply leaving the room

"Haha, come on back now ya hear?"

You just roll your eyes at him as you all exit the velvet room, once you're back in your room you hear Ryza speak to you.

"Hey Hiromu, I was wondering. Is there anywhere I can get some more alchemy ingredients?"

"Alchemy ingredients?"

"Yeah, I wanna make more stuff for you guys! I've been having a lot of fun with all the new stuff I've made."

>Well...there's no magic shops here
>You mean like picking flowers or something?
>Other/Write-in

>You mean like a supermarket?

"You mean like a supermarket?" You ask

"No no, I've seen enough of that place, and I can only make so many things with food."

"I think I know what this meaaaaaaaans~!" Renee interjects with a wide smile on her face

"Wh-what do you mean?" Holly asks

"Shopping Spree~!"

"Wait what?!" You reply

"There's tons of stuff at the mall of course! Let's get going!"

Before you can say anything, Renee has you and Holly following her towards your car

"I can't wait to check this 'mall' thing out! I hope there's tons of stuff to find.

"Dear god, this is gonna suck..." You mutter, as you hear your wallet cry in pain

"How did this happen...?" You groan as Holly,Ryza, and Renee all stand around you in the mall. Renee being all giddy, Holly, being her usual self, and Ryza looking around in amazement at the entire area.

"Wow...and all of this is dedicated to shopping?" Ryza asked with sparkly eyes

"Sure is, but please don't go overboard. I don't wanna dip into my dad's card any more than I already have." You say with a sigh

Really, it was the only way you could think of to make any purchases. Hopefully, you wouldn't have to worry about spending so much that you raised your dad's eyebrows. Hell, you're surprised he hasn't called about your food purchases yet.

"There's so many places! It's amazing, way bigger than any marketplace I've ever seen before!" Ryza exclaims, "Come on Hiromu, show me where a lot of good materials are!"

"Well...where to start." You mutter looking at all the stores around the area, you instantly zero in on a jewelry store and for the sake of your wallet and sanity, you definitely will not be steering her towards that place. Ryza seems like the type who'd enjoy that kind of stuff, even if it's not for the usual reasons.

>Hardware store
>Home appliances
>Computer parts
>Other/Write-in

>Hardware

"Well, let's try the hardware store first." You say leading the group over to the store in question. Of course, once inside, you're greeted by several different pieces of hardware, from hammers and drills to copper wire and even some different cans of paint (Can you believe that rose gold is an actual color in stock now?) as Ryza looks around amazed.

"Whoa...you have all of this in one place?" She asks walking over and inspecting a power drill "I can only begin to imagine what kind of stuff I could make out of this."

"Sure do, and this is just a small outlet compared to an entire store being dedicated to it." You say somewhat smugly, it's clear to tell that Ryza comes from a world with far more magic than technology, so you can't help but feel pride in the fact that she finds modern day utensils so amazing.

As you all continue looking around, you notice a random security guard just doing his rounds, nothing out of the ordinary when Duran speaks up

"Hey Hiro, whose that? What's the uniform I mean?"

"Huh? Oh it's just a security guard. Why?"

"So...he's like a royal knight in a sense?'

"In a manner of speaking I guess?"

"Really? Mind if I speak to them...?"

>Sure, why not
>Please god no, you'll say something weird

>Let's not try to draw attention to ourselves

"Let's not try to draw attention to ourselves." you say "Sorry Duran."

"Really? With Ryza acting how she is?"

You look over to Ryza to see her completely in love with a goddamn buzzsaw as well as a chisel and several different chains and some wires.

"Well, you do have a point, but stil..."

"I get it, I get it." Duran sighs

You feel a bit bad about it, but Duran in his current outfit would just draw far too much unwanted attention for your liking. You're sure of it.

"Hiro, I think I found some things I want!" Ryza exclaims, you turn back to her to see that she's not only got the buzzsaw and everything else from before, but also a a hammer, some paint and...keys and locks?

Okay no. You're gonna have to save your dad's wallet at this rate and so you decide that Ryza can have only one thing from this store. The question is, what will it be?

>Buy the buzzsaw
>Buy the chains
>Buy the paint
>Buy the keys and locks
>Buy the chisel
>Buy the wires

>wires

After much back and forth with Ryza, you manage to convince her that all she can buy is the wires, to which she relunctantly agrees, citing that she can probably cobble some things together from whatever you have lying around the house.

You have to tell her several times that she can't take any of your appliances and use them in her experiments, and you aren't entirely sure if she actually listened or agreed to those terms.

You fear for your apartment...

After another 20 minutes, you're able to finally pull Ryza away from the store with the aid of Holly and Renee

"Wow...never thought I'd see a woman so into hardware stuff..." Renee mutters

"Y-yeah...it's kinda strange...but f-funny." Holly smiles

"Right, so what's our next stop?" You ask

>Home appliances
>Computer parts
>Other/Write-in

>Home appliances

Alright, seems Ryza has her eyes set on home appliances, while she's seen some in your house, she's still pretty surprised by just how much stuff there is that can go into it.

"What is this thing?!" Ryza asks holding up a blender

"It's a blender Ryza." You say bluntly

"What does it do?"

"It mixes fruit."

"Ooooh."

She then proceeds to pick up a whisk.

"What does this do?"

"It's a whisk, it's used for cooking."

"Aaaaah, I see..."

This continues on, until Ryza finds a microwave, another blender, and toaster oven.

"She's...really into this..." Renee laughs nervously, "Are you sure this is okay?"

"As long as she doesn't dig a deep hole in my dad's pocket it should be."

"Hiro, I want these!" Ryza exclaims

"Only one!"

"You're so mean!" Ryza replies sticking her tongue out at you

>Blender
>Microwave
>Toaster Oven

>Microwave

"You grab your purchase and leave the store, sighing at Ryza and her choice of item.

"Okay, so just what are you gonna do with that thing?" Renee asks

"Well, I noticed how the microwave at Hiromu's home cooks things, so I wanna take this one apart and see if I can incorporate it into my alchemy. Maybe even throw the entire thing in to see what happens."

"Oh hell no, you are not breaking that thing after I just paid for it!"

"B-but!"

"NO!" You say with finality

"Hmph! Fine, I'll work something else out then!"

As you all continue your general chatter, your attention is caught by the sounds of sudden screaming. The roof of the mall is busted open as dozens of...you don't know what the hell they are, but they start to indiscriminately attack people.

"Oh great..." You groan "Everyone...get ready."

You're in a more public space this time, but there's no helping it, no doubt these strange things are definitely here for you. You see some security guards trying to fight them off, but to no real success, these guys aren't really equipped to deal with it, only having small handguns and many of the shots bouncing off. Looks like it's time to fight!

>You have given Ryza new ideas in regards to her alchemy. Ryza's bombs now deal 3d8 damage and her poison bombs can now decrease defense as well!

You rush to the aid of the two security guards who are dodging attacks and trying to open fire, when they see you, they just look at the three of you as if you're weirdos

"You kids get to safety it's not safe!" One of them yells

>I appreciate the concern, but I feel I must extend the gesture to you
>Sorry, but I can't let you get murdered
>Say nothing

>Also choose who you're fielding

>Say nothing
>Hiro,Duran,Aurora,Y'shtola,Dante

You call out your allies as they form a defensive wall between you and the three guards, you opting to say nothing and let your actions speak for you instead of your words. Not like they'd particularly listen all that well since they believe that they're in control of the situation.

Renee and Holly form up as well watching the rear for any more of whatever these things are, ready to help keep the two guards safe from any other surprises that may come towards you or them.

>Choose your actions and roll them dice!

>Hiro - Spray and Pray X2(100,49)
>Duran - Bear it (Y'shtola)
>Aurora - Elevate Damage
>Y'shtola - Aero(87)
>Dante - Ebony and Ivory, Thousand Stabs(96,69)

The battle gets underway, and you quickly whip out your newly created needle gun, the guards see this and quickly shout about where you pulled that from, but you ignore it and unload on the robots in front ofyou. Hitting them several times, but also missing some shots as well.  Mostly because there are still fleeing people running all around you.

"Here you go Y'shtola, keep strong!" Duran calls out to her

>Y'shtola's defense increased! she now takes -2 damage!


"With this might glow, my power will grow!" Aurora calls out in rhyme as she does indeed glow for a short moment.

>Aurora's attack increased! She now deals +2 damage!

Y'shtola fires off a torrent of air from her staff at one of the robots, knocking it back

Meanwhile Dante whips out his own guns and opens fire on one of the robots before...missing his stabs as it dodges out of the way.

"Tch, annoying thing." Dante grumbles

Two of the three robots raise their blades in the air, a small aura appearing over them before disappearing

>All enemies Attack increased! They now deal +4 damage!

The last robot takes two stabs at Dante, and while Dante dodges the first with ease, he's too busy taunting to block the second one that comes his way.

>Duran Break Armor(38)(C)
>Aurora:Blind Blade(55)(C)
>Y'shtola:Aero(70)(C)
>Dante:Ebony and Ivory, Sword(90,88)(C)

You focus in on the third robot. It  looks to be the weakest from that last attack and so you tell your friends to do the same. There is just one problem though...you kinda miss your first attack on it. You manage to hit the second slash though, melting the robot slightly.

Duran and Aurora move in to attack is as well, but it manages to dodge both of them, as well as Y'shtola's attack as well.

Dante however, is able to get in and style on the thing with both his guns and sword.

Trait Activated: Dope to Stylish!

The first of the robots again activates the red aura, covering itself and its allies in it!

>All enemies attack increased! They now deal +6 damage!

One of the robots takes a slash at you, while you dodge the first one, it exploits your opening and gets you the second time!

"G-guh! you grunt, taking the brunt of the blow

The second robot goes and swings his sword in a wide arc, at first it doesn't seem to hit you, but then a magical blade appears coming at you all! You manage to duck out of the way, but Duran, Y'shtola and Dante all take a hit!



>Hiro:HP:65/88 MP:50/55
>Duran:HP:138/167 MP:42/57

>Duran - Bear it (Dante)
>Aurora - Blinding Blade(100)
>Y'shtola - Medica
>Dante - Ebony and Ivory, Sword(69,72)

This time you don't miss, as you attack the same robot as before, hitting him with two really hard slashes as your flameblade burns its body, the smell of burnt metal starting to permeate the area.

"Here Dante, keep it up!"

"Yeah I gotcha, thanks!"

>Dante's Defense increased, he now takes -2 damage!

Aurora flies towards the same robot and slashes at it as well, her blade shining brightly as she does so. It doesn't seem to have an effect on the robot this time though.

"Stay strong everyone!" Y'shtola calls out as she casts healing magic on everyone.

Dante...completely flubs both his attacks, it's kinda embarrassing for someone like hime as the robot easily dodges his attacks.

The first robot goes for Dante, dealing two slashes at him and getting in a very solid hit on him.

The second one goes for Duran, getting two hits on him as he manages to trick Duran with a fient before attacking

The third robot completely flubs his attacks against Aurora as the small girl easily dips and dodges with the help of her wings.


>Hiro:HP:81/88 MP:50/55
>Duran:HP:117/167 MP:37/57

>Y'shtola - Cure(Duran)
>Dante Swap for Renee

"Dante, fall back, you're too hurt! Renee, can you help us out over here?"

"Sure thing Hiro! Renee calls back coming towards you with her spear drawn, eager to get into the thick

"Man, I got styled on..." Dante mutters, returning to your COMP, you quickly take out your gun and start sprayin' and prayin' Of course, because of that, you end up missing some shots.

Duran goes for the already weakened robot delivering a solid blow to it, some of its armor breaking and exposing it's more softer bits, with Aurora following up to deal some damage to him as well.

Y'shtola fires off a healing spell at Duran, fixing up some of his wounds!

The first robot goes for the swing on Aurora but he can't hit her at all, she's just way too good at avoiding damage while also dealing it, that or these things have a reservation against hitting an actual child.

The second one aims at you, but just like Aurora you're able to dodge their attacks with ease, not letting it lay a hand on you.

The third one though, it does that same sweeping motion and tries to hit you all, this time managing to hit Duran and Renee.


>Hiro:HP:81/88 MP:45/55
>Duran:HP:96/167 MP:27/57
>Aurora:HP:61/61 MP:29/42(Attack increased (+2))

>Duran:Break Armor(87)
>Aurora - Attack(101)
>Y'shtola -Aero II(98)
>Renee - Thunder Surge(106)

You decide to rely on more spraying and praying, taking your needle gun and opening fire on the enemy, this time managing to not miss a single hit with all your spraying! So good are you, that the third robot finally gives way and explodes, it's parts going everywhere in a sparky mess of debris.

Duran turns his attention towards the First robot and slashes at him, breaking away his armor a bit, thus making him an easier target to take down.

>The enemy's defense has dropped, the ynow take +2 damage!

Aurora, takes on the second Robot and delivers a sickening slash to it, dealing heavy damage, despite being so small, and laughing to herself all the while.

Y'shtola backs her up firing off more wind magic at the robot, causing it whip around and fly into the air before falling down again.

"Take this!" Renee calls out shooting Lightning at the the first robot, dealing extreme damage to it. the robot shaking violently from the attack.

Robot Sentinel's weakness found!

Shaking off the attack from Renee, The First robot goes for her, but completely flubs its attacks, missing her.

The second one however, goes for Aurora, and this time, while it misses the first hit, the little girl is unable to dodge the second one and takes a nasty blow from it.

"Worry not, it's just a blow, I can still help lay these fiends low!"  Aurora calls to you


>Hiro:HP:81/88 MP:40/55
>Duran:HP:96/167 MP:17/57

>Duran - Break Armor (B)(82)
>Aurora - Attack(75)
>Y'shtola - Stone II(30)
>Renee - Thunder Surge(86)

You spray and pray some more hitting the two robots with as many needle bullets as you can, once again not missing a shot between the two of them.

Duran goes for an attack on the second, hitting it making it more vulnerable just like the other one.

>Enemy's defense decreased, it now takes +2 damage!

Aurora once again attacks the second Robot, just barely getting a hit in, while Y'shtola, unfortunately, misses her attack.

Renee once again strikes with her lightning, hitting the first robot hard.

The robot tries to strike her in turn, but can't hit her at all, while the second one instead goes for Y'shtola this time!

"Ugh!" Y'shtola grunts as the she reels from the attack "Do not worry, I am fine!"

>Hiro:HP:81/88 MP:40/55
>Duran:HP:96/167 MP:17/57
>Aurora:HP:37/61 MP:29/42(Attack increased (+2))

>Hiro - Brutal Slash X2(50,86)
>Duran - Attack(100)
>Aurora - Attack(71)
>Y'shtola - Cure 2 (self)
>Renee - Thunder Surge(92)

These things are almost down, and you aren't going to let up! You press the advantage by attacking the first one...and missing horribly, but following up well with the second attack and hitting it dead on.

Duran follows up behind you, attacking the enemy head on and hitting its more exposed parts, dealing some really nasty damage to it.

Aurora tries to hit the second robot, but unfortunately, this time she misses her attack, almost as if it's some kind of divine retribution for her earlier dodges, while Y'shtola focuses on healing her wounds with magic.

Renee fires off more lightning and this time, the resulting impact of it on the first robot causes it to burst into flames and sparks as it falls over.

Seeing that it's alone, the last robot standing goes for a large swing, which you all dodge...except for Renee...

>Hiro:HP:71/88 MP:40/55
>Duran:HP:96/167 MP:17/57
>Aurora:HP:37/61 MP:29/42(Attack increased (+2))

>Hiro - Brutal Slash X2(100,78)
>Duran - Attack(85)
>Aurora - Attack(92)
>Y'shtola - Medica
>Renee - Thunder Surge(96)

You deliver a some really hard slashes to the enemy, dealing extremely heavy damage to it the fire all but igniting it in flames after you do. The robot tries to keep fighting, but Duran and Aurora absolutely destroy whatever is left of it.

"Finally, they're down." Duran sighs

"Yeah, good job everybody!" You call to your friends.

"Are y-you guys okay?" Holly asks helping the security guards to their feet. They'd been on the ground the entire time, watching the fight play out.

"Y-yeah, we're fine. But...who the hell are you guys? Special forces or somethin'? FBI?"

Oh...uh...shit, you're gonna have to think of something aren't you?

>You defeated Robot Sentinels!
>You gained 115 EXP!
>Obtained 3 Robot Sentinel Armor pieces
>obtained 3 common core crystals
>Obtained $400!

>Uh...yeah, special forces, lets go with that!
>Forget you ever saw us
>We're just civilians exercising our Second Amendment Rights
>Other/Write-in

>Forget you ever saw us

Alright, you gotta play this cool, these guys got questions and you've got answers. It's only right to answer them yeah? You think on it for a moment and you feel that...no, no it isn't. Even if you did tell them what was going on, they more than likely wouldn't believe you. Hell, you wouldn't believe yourself.

"Forget you ever saw us." you say to him bluntly

"What the...? Just who the hell do you think you are?!" One of the guards growls getting in your face, before he can say anything else, his radio goes off.

If anyone is there, we need backup, we're hold up in one of the stores near the food court. We've got many civilians here and those...things are still around. We're gonna hold out here until we can send for help!

"Shit..." The guard growls "We've gotta get over there!"

"But what about these guys?" The other asks gesturing to your group

"What about them? We never saw them remember?"

The two guards begin to walk away, but then Duran speaks.

"Hiromu, let me go with them. There are innocent people in danger. You guys can find the source of this while I work with them to keep the civilians safe. Come on, let me go with them. Please."

>Go ahead, don't go dying on me
>No, I need you here

>Go

"Alright, you go ahead. Just don't go dying or anything okay?"

"Heh, as if I would. I'll catch up with you later." Duran says as he runs off, joining the security guards in going to take care of the civilians.

>You allowed Duran to continue his knightly duties even in a world where he is a stranger. Duran's Affection level can now be increased and Duran's  VIT has increased by +2!

As soon as Duran and the guards disappear around the corner, a blue portal appears in front of you with Hanekoma appearing on the line.

"Hey kid, we heard what's going on." He said casually

"Yeah, any ideas what's going on?"

"Not a clue. This ain't Konishi, I know that much, from what you told me, she's too worried about making her own personal UG to do something like this. Get to work on finding out what's going on. We've got the velvet room all set up for you to use."

>Go to the Velvet Room
>Head to the second floor
>Head to the third floor

>Velvet Room

It's no question about it that you decide to head to the velvet room, these robots are no joke and you're kinda reeling from that last encounter. Stepping through, you're welcomed to that same deep blue room.

With Igor sitting behind his chair as usual.

"Welcome my friends. Once again, I see you are all thrust into danger. I am truly sorry."

"Don't worry about it Igor, we're pulling through just fine!" Renee says reassuringly

"Y-yeah! We'-we'll be fine Mr.Igor..." Holly adds "S-so...don't worry!"

"Hoho, I see. Very well, please, make use of the velvet room as you please."

>Heal up($600)
>Go see Mirei
>Go see Hanekoma

>Heal up

"Well, we could use some healing..." You say casually

"Very well. $600 please."

"Wait, 600?!" You exclaim "But last time it was 400!"

"Indeed it was, but times change I'm afraid. Worry not, the money goes to a good cause."

For some reason, you highly doubt it, but you hand over the cash to Igor, he waves his hands and you feel yourself becoming freshly invigorated.

"Thanks...I guess."

"No problem at all my friends. Now then, is there anything else?"

>Go see Mirei
>Go see Hanekoma
>Leave

>Go see Mirei

"Well I guess there's nothing else so-"

"Actually, can we go see Mirei for a moment?" Renee pipes up "I'd like to make my summons just a bit stronger if that's okay."

You and Holly look at one another, shrugging in agreement. The three of you head through the right door to Mirei's room where she greets you

"Hello again. I hope you all aren't having it too tough out there."

"We're doing well enough." You reply "Renee just wanted to stop by and do some powering up."

"Very well. Renee, you know what to do."

"You know it." Renee says taking some crystals and channeling their power into the COMP

>Sailor Moon grew to level 7!
>Healing Light's power increased!
>Mythra grew to level 6!

Once that's done, Mirei looks at you all. "Well then, anything else?"

>Summon new allies(choose who)
>Power up Allies
>Leave

>leave

"That'll be all for now. Thanks Mirei."

"You're welcome. My door is always open~!"

Leaving you with those words you leave the velvet room and return to the mall "Let's head up to the second floor, there may be people there."

"Okay." The girls reply in unison

You all head up the escalator (surprisingly it's still working) when all the lights go off in the area and you also notice that several window shutters come down on the mall windows as well. "W-what the hell? The power's out?!" you exclaim as you reach the second floor, it's extremely dark now and thanks to that, you could be ambushed from anywhere.

"W-what do we do Hiromu?" Holly asked

"Stick close and don't wander...outside of that, all we can do is stay on our toes."

There's a few stores littered around here, but you can also see that there are another set of escalators leading up to the third floor. Either way, you're gonna have to figure just who or what is tampering with the power.

>Check one of the stores
>Head to the 3rd floor
>Other/Write-in

>stores

You figure that it's probably best to check some of the stores here, just in case there's any survivors or something there that can be of use. You start off with a clothing store that has nothing in it, and you have to stop Renee from trying to take a few of her own, the next is a bookstore, which also has nothing of real use in it and you have to stop Holly from snatching up a book as well.

"Meanie..." Renee huffs

"Bully..." Holly pouts

"We are not going to loot the stores and then have even more to worry about!" You hiss

As soon you head to the next store, yet another clothing shop, you hear screams from inside. Rushing towards the source, you see two more of those robots and 1 lone security guard with a civilian alongside them.

"Aw crap..." You mutter "Guys get ready.

>Time to Big Damn Heroes, who ya fielding?!

>Hiro
>Renee
>Ryza
>Aqua
>Miku

You and Renee take a step forward with Holly acting as a wall between the robots and the civilians, you call out Ryza and Miku, while Holly sends forth Aqua to help you as the robots turn their attention towards you, realizing that they have an immediate threat on their hands that could be actual trouble.

Time to prove them right.

"Everybody ready?"

"Hell yeah, let's go Hiro!" Renee exclaimed

>Choose your actions, and lets go!

>Hiro - Spray and Pray X2(98,79)
>Renee - Thunder Surge(99)
>Ryza - Thunder Bomb(105)
>Aqua - Thunder(82)
>Miku - LandoltC

You take aim with your Needle Gun and open fire on the enemy. None of your shots missing thanks to the enclosed space and dealing some decent damage.

Renee follows up behind you and sends out lightning at the first robot, causing it to lock up for a moment, before it starts moving again.

Ryza takes aim at the second robot and throws a thunder bomb right at it! the sound of electricity crackling as it connects with the second robot and courses throughout it's body.

Aqua, follows suit, casting Thunder on the second robot as well, shocking it even further.

Meanwhile, Miku begins singing, lowering the enemy's movement.

>Enemy's AGI reduced! Their Hit/Evasion has dropped!

The second robot raises its blade in the air, a red aura covering them both...oh crap.

>Enemies attack increased! They now deal +2 Damage!

And you feel the effect as the first robot comes running towards you, you dodge the first hit easily, but the second manages to hit you straight on.

>Hiro:HP:82/104 MP:59/64
>Renee:HP:72/72 MP:63/66

>Hiro - Spray and Pray X2(82,106)
>Renee - Thunder Surge(97)
>Ryza - Thunder Bomb(90)
>Aqua - Thunder(82)
>Miku - LandoltC

You continue sprayin' and prayin' and loading the robot full of hot lead. Or whatever counts for a needle gun, you aren't entirely sure.

Renee follows up behind you again and fires off more lightning at the first robot, trying her best to short circuit the thing.

Trait Activated: Follow Up!

Ryza takes aim at the first robot, firing off a some magic on it before turning towards the second robot and throwing her bomb at it again, causing it freak out.

Aqua, follows suit, casting Thunder again on the second robot, hoping it'll fall over quickly.

Meanwhile, Miku continues singing, lowering the enemy's speed even more.

>Enemy's AGI reduced further! Their Hit/Evasion has dropped even more!!

The second robot raises its blade in the air again, a red aura covering them both just like before

>Enemies attack increased! They now deal +4 Damage!

The first robot does that familiar swining arc, and this time, you all see the attack coming, save for Renee, who is just a bit too late in acting, taking a nasty hit.

>Hiro:HP:82/104 MP:54/64
>Renee:HP:51/72 MP:60/66
>Ryza:HP:88/88 MP:78/88
>Aqua:HP:72/72 MP:72/76

>Robot Sentinel B:127/245(AGI Decreased(-4)(Attack increased +4))

>Hiro - Spray and Pray X2(67,73)
>Renee - Thunder Surge(105)
>Ryza - Thunder Bomb(77-NAT 1 OVERRIDE)
>Aqua - Thunder(43)
>Miku - LandoltC

More Sprayin' and more prayin' though this time you should have prayed harder, as the robots are able to dodge some of your attacks, and thus managing to stay in the fight just that much longer.

Once again Renee fires off more lightning magic at the first robot, dealing a ton of damage to it, the thing visibly smoking now.


What follows next is...embarrassing to say the least, as Ryza goes to throw her bomb, it slips from her hands at the last second...and explodes right on top of her.

"K-kyaaa! Th-that hurts!" Ryza whimpers

Aqua tries to attack with more thunder magic, but the second robot must have gotten wise, because he dodged her easily.

Despite all the chaos, Miku manages to keep on singing, slowing the enemy as best she can.

>Enemy's AGI reduced further! Their Hit/Evasion has dropped even more!!

The first robot takes a swipe at you, but then as it misses it jumps back and does that wide arc, managing to hit Renee again, while the rest of you dodge it. Just barely so in Aqua's case.

The Second Robot follows the same attack and just like before everyone dodges...except Renee... that last hit is more than she can take as she's knocked back by the attack, falling to the ground out cold.

"I...I'm sorry..." she mutters out weakly


>Hiro:HP:82/104 MP:54/64
>Renee:HP:0/72 MP:57/66

>Hiro - Summon Y'shtola,Spray and Pray(60)
>Ryza - Thunder Bomb(69-NAT 1 OVERRIDE)
>Aqua - Thunder(97)
>Miku - LandoltC

"Holly, g-grab Renee!" You call out to her as you summon Y'shtola join the fight. You open fire on the robots, but it doesn't faze them and all your shots miss, it's fine, as it acts for good cover fire for Holly.

"Y-yeah!" Holly exclaims managing to grab Renee and pull her to safety


"This time for sure!" Ryza calls out as she prepares another bomb...and manages to drop it again and hurt herself.

"Not again!" Ryza cries out as she's shocked

Aqua this time manages to get another Thunder out on the second robot, as Miku continues her singing to slow the enemies movements.

>Enemy's AGI reduced further! Their Hit/Evasion has dropped even more!!

The first robot takes a swipe at you like before, but repeats the same tactic of jumping back before going for that wide arc swing. Everyone but Y'shtola and Ryza manage to dodge out of the way of it.

The Second robot goes for some quick slashes at you, and manages to actually get a solid hit on you, causing you to grunt in pain.


>Hiro:HP:62/104 MP:49/64
>Y'shtola:HP:30/50 MP:81/81

Hiro:Revival Bead (Renee),normal attack(104)
Y'shtola:Medica
Ryza:thunder bomb(104)
Aqua:Thunder(98)
Miku love is war


You fish out one of those revival beads you bought from Hanekoma and quickly toss it to Holly. "Give that to Renee! you call out as you swing your blade at the first robot. The thing starting to melt from the heat of your weapon.

**Trait Activated: Follow Up**

Ryza takes this chance to exploit the enemy's opening and fire more magic at it, before throwing another bomb at the second one, this time *not* hurting herself at all.

"I'll keep us going!" Y'shtola calls out as she fixes up your wounds with one of her healing spells

Aqua fires off more Lightning at the second robot, hoping to finally finish it off. Unfortunately, it remains standing despite the attack.

Miku switches up her songs this time and instead focuses on afflicting the enemy, reducing their attack power!

>Enemy's ATK reduced! They now deal only +2 damage!

The first robot takes some slashes at you, but misses them both, However,the second robot goes for Miku, and she's so caught off guard, she isn't able to dodge in time! She lets out a pained cry as she's dealt a brutal blow of attacks, sliding back slightly.


>Hiro:HP:79/104 MP:49/64
>Y'shtola:HP:47/50 MP:66/81
>Ryza:HP:43/88 MP:58/88

Hiro:Attack(60,109)
Y'shtola:Stone II(49-NAT 1 OVERRIDE)
Ryza:thunder bomb(70)
Aqua:Thunder(103)
>Miku swap for Maple


It's almost over you can feel it! You go for another set of attacks on the first robot, missing the first, but absolutely nailing it with the second one. You hit it hard enough for the robot to crumple to the ground, unable to fight against you any longer.

Ryza sends another bomb going at the second robot, dealing some serious damage to it, and the thing is nearly done for. All it needs is one more good hit!

Unfortunately that good hit  does not come from Y'shtola, as her staff sort of backfires and explodes on her instead.

It falls to Aqua to finish it off, delivering one final attack that destroys the second robot. The second it falls you check on the guard and civilian

>You defeated Robot Sentinels!
>You gained 125 EXP
>You obtained $325
>You obtained 2 common summon crystals
>You obtained Robot Sentinel Armor
>Aurora grew to level 5!
>Aurora learned Burst Blade!



>Are you two okay?
>Get to the food court
>You have any idea how to turn the power back on?
>Other/Write-in

>Are you two okay?
>You have any idea how to turn the power back on?

"Are you two okay?" You ask

"Y-yeah we're good. Who are yo-ya know what, I don't know and I don't care, just *please* tell me you know a way out of this?" The guard asks

"Depends, any idea on how to turn the power back on?"

"The power...yeah...we ducked in here after things went dark. A lot of good that did us. Anyway, the security room is on the first floor, there's an emergency shutdown switch in there that kills the power and shuts the place down. It's all the way in the back of the mall, can't miss it. There's a reinforced steel door you can't miss. You gotta get the key though."

"Of course...and let me guess, you don't have it." You sigh

"Fraid not, but there's a break room up on the third floor, right next to the nail salon. It should definitely be there."

"Okay, you head to the food court, should be a safe area there with some of your guard buddies and a friend of mine."

"Yeah, we were on our way there before this all happened. Good luck on getting through...whatever this is

The security guard and the person he was protecting walk past you, eager to get away from the robots as quickly as possible.

>Offer to escort them
>Head for the 3rd floor
>Other/Write-in

>Head for the 3rd floor

You watch as they leave, making sure that nothing jumps them and once they're out of your line of sight, you and your friends head to the third floor. There's less stores up here, but still a few here and there. A ton of them are trashed, more than likely from the fighting that suddenly broke out.

You keep your eyes out for the nail salon and once you spot it, you see that the break room is indeed right next to it, though you can't really fathom as to why it'd be right there.

"Hey...Hey Hiro..." Renee calls to you

"Yeah, what's up?"

"You don't mind if I...stop by that nail salon do you? Just for a second...?" she asks sheepishly

Dear god, she cannot be serious can she?

You look at her face again and see that Renee is in fact, serious about going into there.

>Renee, we are NOT stealing beauty supplies
>Fine, FINE. But only ONE thing!

>Why?

"Alright, I'll give you once chance at an explanation. Why. Why do we need to go to the nail salon?"

"Well..." Renee starts, we might find something useful in there, some first aid stuff, something for Ryza to use in her Alchemy, you know that kind of stuff!"

"Annnnnd?" You ask with a knowing look

"Aaand....maybe I wanna snag some of the really expensive nail polish that they have on sale here. Come on Hiro, 70 bucks for Royal Gold Purple? It's robbery!"

You close your eyes and sigh at her words, it started off making some sense, but then her true intentions were made clear with that last bit.

>Just...only one. Just one thing
>No.

>No

That solidifies it for you, that was all you needed to hear from her to come to your decision.

"No."

"But-!"

"No Renee." You said with a sigh "Now let's move on."

"Mmmmph! Y-you-! Mrrrrrrrrr!" Renee grumbles, she continues to say several random things that don't even amount to real words as you and Holly continue on towards the break room with Renee trailing behind you. Once inside, you take stock of the place, and it is definitely trashed. Overturned chairs, an open fridge, one of the tables used as a barricade.

"I-it's really d-dark here. C-can you see anything Hiromu?" Holly asked

"Not really, but this is what cellphones are for." you take yours out and turn on the light, with the girls doing the same. It takes about a half-hour of sifting through the wrecked room, but eventually you find the key that the guard was talking about.

"Got it!" You exclaim with a grin "Now let's get out of here and-"

Before you could say anything, there's a weird feeling that envelopes the area, almost as if you're being watched. You and your friends turn around to see...oh what in the actual hell are those...


That's definitely a spider and some sort of flower woman.

"You uh...you girls wouldn't' happen to be friends would you?" Renee asked nervously

The spider girl lets out a roar as she begins to edge closer to you all, with the flower girl doing the same.

"Yeah...gonna say no." You reply getting ready for a fight.

>You know the deal, choose who you're gonna field

>Hiro
>Maple
>Ace
>Patches
>Meatballs

You call out Ace from your COMP, while Holly sends in Maple and Patchouli, and Renee, still feeling beat from the last encounter sends in Sailor Moon.

"G-give em hell guys, I'll hang back and keep anything else from joining in with Holly." Renee calls to you

>Call your actions!

>Hiro Flame sword x2(92,106)
>Ace Flame thrower x2(103,84)
>Patches:Royal flare(96)
>Maple Iron wall
>Meatball head Moonlight


Trait Activated: Immovable Library

"That spider...it's weak to light." Patchouli tells you all "Be swift in removing them."

"Thanks Patchy!" You call out as you go to strike the spider, sure, your weapon is fire and not light, but you feel that applying a burning sensation to her body will probably work too.

The spider girl roars in pain as the flames spread throughout her body, and this is only made worse with Ace when he starts firing flames over both of them.

Flower Yoma's Weakness Found

Keeping up the use of fire, Patchouli calls forth her Royal Flare spell, burning the both of them.

"You won't  scratch me!" Maple shouts slamming her shield on the ground causing her defense to increase.

>Maple's defense increases, she takes -6 damage!

Sailor Moon follows suit, buffing your groups defense as well.

>All allies defense increased! They now take -2 damage! Maple takes -8!

Reeling from the damage, the Spider Yoma, sprays web all over your team!

"Gah,w-what the...t-this stuff is slowing me down!" Ace grunts

"Eeeeew, it's all sticky!" Sailor Moon howls, "Get it off!"

>Your team's AGI is reduced! Their Hit/Evasion is reduced!
The spider yoma slashes at you with a clawed hand, getting a solid hit off! you stumble back from the blow and you can't help but feel quite sick...

>Hiro is poisoned. He'll take an additional 1d8 at the end of each turn unless cured!

The Flower Yoma engulfs herself and the spider yoma in a green light and you notice their wounds disappear! She then fires some vines towards Patchouli, but the mage girl is able to float out of the way with ease.



>Hiro:HP:61/104 MP:49/62(Defense increased(-2)(AGI reduced(-2))

>Fire sword plant, Amrita Soda(88)
>Flare Burst X2 (Flower)(74,80)
>Patchouli: Royal flare(80)
>Cover up (Hiro)
>Tiara Spider(77)

You chug down that weird soda, and the instant you do, the sickly feeling in your stomach goes away. So that's good at least. Hanekoma was right in that it could heal up nearly anything. With renewed vigor you charge into the flower enemy, Hitting it with your sword and watching as it starts to ignite.

Ace followed up behind you, but unfortunately, do to the webbing, his first attack just barely missed, but his second was spot on, landing another decisive blow.

Patchouli didn't miss her chance either and fired off yet another Royal Flare attack.

"Get behind me Hiro!" Maple mutters standing in front of you, making herself appear as a stone wall

"Moon Tiara Action!" Sailor Moon called out as she threw her Tiara at the spider demon...and it just completey disappeared in a flash of light, screaming all the while as it did so.

"Holy crap. Nice one pigtails!" Ace said flashing her the thumbs up

"Oh stop...although I was pretty cool, I'll admit."

Though now alone, the Flower Yoma continues to try and fight. Healing itself again, before attacking Patchouli, this time with a magical attack that manages to hit the purple mage pretty badly.

>Hiro:HP:61/104 MP:49/62(Defense increased(-2)(AGI reduced(-2))

>Hiro - Attack X2(94,60)
>Ace - Flare Burst X2(107,87)
>Patch - Royal Flare(60)
>Sailor Moon - Moon Tiara Action(108)
>Maple - Iron Wall

You aren't going to let up! Another two slashes and yet another misses, but even so, you're able to deal some damage to the flower yoma all the same.

Ace follows suit by attacking again punching her with fire infused hands, while Patchy begins to cast another spell that unfortunately misses it's intended target...

Sailor Moon flings her tiara again and while damage is dealt, there's sadly no instant yoma kill this time unfortunately.

Maple proceeds to slam her shield on the ground again raising her defense even higher!

>Maple now takes -12 damage!

The flower yoma once again heals herself, before attempting to hit you all with vines! One would have hit you, but thanks to Maple, you're completely safe from harm. Ace, dodged, easily, but Patchouli and Sailor Moon aren't so lucky...especially Patchouli.

"D-dammit...I blundered." Patchouli mutters as she fades away in a flash of light...

>Hiro:HP:61/104 MP:49/62(Defense increased(-2)(AGI reduced(-2))
>Ace:HP:93/93 MP:22/63(Defense increased(-2)(AGI reduced(-2))

>Hiro - Attack X2(97,86)
>Ace - Flare Burst X2(80,81)
>Summon Aqua
>Sailor Moon - Moon Tiara Action(108)
>Maple - Iron Wall

Though Patchy had been knocked out, there was nothing that the flower yoma could do once you and Ace were on her again. You quickly slashed at her a few more times, and Ace delivered the final punch, managing to burn her alive and killing her at last.

"Finally." You mutter "Come on everyone, let's get out of here before anything else shows up to try and eat us."

"Yeah...though I wish I could ask that plant girl about her hair, it was actually pretty cute." Renee said holding with a shrug

"Seriously, even in a fight for our lives?"

"What? gotta give credit where credit is due."

You roll your eyes and head back to the first floor, Key in hand.

>You defeated Spider and Flower Yoma!
>You gained 105 EXP
>You obtained $250
>You obtained 2 yoma orbs

You manage to return to the first floor without any trouble, you see where the food court is and if what that guard said is right, the opposite side should be where the security room is...

>Go to the Velvet Room
>Head straight for the Security Room
>Check on the survivors at the food court

>Go to the Velvet Room

"Come on, let's go see Igor first." You say heading for that blue portal. Once inside, Igor greets you with his usual smile.

"Hello there my friends, how may I be of aid to you?"

"Well..." Holly starts, before Igor raises his hand to silence her

"I think I already understand. One of your comrades has fallen and you all look to be in need of my healing services."

Right on the nose.

"Very well, But it may cost you a bit more than usual."

Of course it is...

>Heal up($600)
>Revive fallen party members($300)
>Go see Mirei
>Go see Hanekoma

>Heal up($900)

You begrudgingly fork over the 900 bucks that Igor wants and just sigh at him, at this point, you've given up on trying to understand why he and whoever else is here needs all this money, but for now, you're just glad to have your allies back in fighting form.

"Is there anything else you will need?"

More money would be one thing...

>Go see Hanekoma
>Go see Mirei
>Leave

"No, that'll be all for now." You say exiting the velvet room.

With that you all exit the velvet room and begin your trek across the mall to the security room. You were expecting that you'd find more resistance, but whatever forces were here seem to be...gone. It's almost as if it were some sort of tactical strike. A quick attack and then a hasty retreat. But then why cut the power?

All these thoughts run through your mind  as you and your friends come towards the steel door that leads into the security room. You give it a quick turn and...yeah it's locked. Just like the guard had said it would be. So with that being the case, you fish out the key that you'd thrown in your pocket and unlock it.

You open the door and the first thing you see is a face you really wish you hadn't.

"My, it took it you quite some time to get here." Jail said "I thought you'd be faster than that."

"What were you doing Jail, what was the big plan this time?" You spit at him "Another test run of yours?"

At this, Jail just laughs "A bit of that. But no, we needed some human souls is all."

"Human souls...what the hell do you mean?"

"Well, I suppose there's no harm in telling you since it's common knowledge. But Nyarlathetep is coming. What you've seen now, everything up to this point is but the leakage of all the worlds becoming connected, the wall between them weakening. But once Nyarlatheotep is here...things will become quite interesting."

"We won't let that happen!" Renee shouts at him

"Y-yeah, we won't, w-we'll stop you!"
I do so enjoy that vigor! Young people like yourselves should definitely be like that! But, regardless, your words are empty until the time comes. How'd you like my improved robots? They're an upgrade from the little guys you know. Definitely stronger, though they lack defensive capabilities."

"They were just fantastic...truly." You snark at him

"Wonderful! I love to hear compliments, but that being said, it's time I left, we've got what we came for, but here...I leave you with a friend..."
Jail snaps his fingers and as he disappears,a sleek female form appears where he once stood. You notice that she has a weird blue collar around her like Baby and Piedmon did before...

"Shit...looks like we've got to defeat her before we can get things fixed up here guys! Get ready!" You call to them.

>Choose who you're fielding!

>Hiro
>Maple
>Dante
>Patch
>Sailor Moon

You call out Dante, while Holly sends out Patchouli and Maple and Renee calls forth Sailor Moon.

"This one...she appears to be weak to lightning."

Well that's good at least. As you're getting ready to get into it, you hear Hanekoma come in over your COMP.

"Hey Hiromu, it's me Hanekoma, that young lady...she's wearing that same ring on her neck like the broken ones you brought back before."

"Yeah, so what's the deal with them?"

"Well, I did some looking into it...and those things are used to control summons. As in force them into compliance."

"So...?"

"So our lady friend may not be in her best state of mind. Still, you'll have to beat her before that thing will break. It boosts her abilities too, so she's gonna hit a lot harder than normal. Good luck!"

With that Hanekoma cuts out...time to get to it then!

>Call those actions

>Maple: Iron wall
>Dante:ebony, thousands stabs(103,76)
>Patch:selene(42-NAT 1 OVERRIDE)

"Here Dante, this'll boost you!" You call out using some of your magic to increase his power before running up and slashing the robot woman as hard as you can with your sword, getting a sickening blow in.

"Thanks Hiromu,much appreciated!"

>Dante's attack increased! He deals +2 damage!

Dante proceeds to light the woman up with his guns before switching up to his sword and slicing at her.


Trait Activated:Dope To Stylish

"Stay safe everyone!" Sailor Moon calls out as she raises you and your allies defense!

>All Allies defense increased! They now take -2 damage!

Patchouli gets ready to cast her spell, but something goes wrong and her spell ends up backfiring on her!

Maple slams her shield on the ground raising her defense again! She now takes -8 damage!

"01000101 01101110 01100111 01100001 01100111 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01100011 01101111 01101101 01100010 01100001 01110100 00100000 01101101 01101111 01100100 01100101" the robot woman garbles out...and you have no idea what she's saying, however you notice that she's bathed in a blue aura for a moment!
>The enemy's magic attack has increased! they now deal +2 damage on all magical attacks!

"01001111 01110000 01100101 01101110 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01000110 01101001 01110010 01100101"

You again, have no idea what she said, but she fires a beam of energy at you not a second after, with you managing to dodge it. But that's not all that happens

"00100010 01000011 01101000 01100001 01101110 01100111 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01010000 01100001 01110010 01100001 01101101 01100101 01110100 01100101 01110010 01110011 00100010"

After she speaks you notice a blue almost mirror like barrier appear around her.

>Maple:shield Hiro

>Patches swap for Aqua

You go in for another couple of slashes, flubbing the first, but managing to hit the second one. "Holly, call in Aqua!"

"Okay!"

Dante once again opens fire, but he misses her with his sword strike.

Trait Activated:Dope To Stylish

"I'll keep it up, all of you, hang in there!" Sailor Moon calls out as she raises you and your allies defense!

>All Allies defense increased! They now take -4 damage! Aqua takes -2 and Maple takes -10!

"Stay behind me Hiromu! I'll keep you safe!" Maple says as she lumbers over to you, putting yourself between her and the enemy.

"01001111 01110000 01100101 01101110 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01000110 01101001 01110010 01100101

You're assaulted by a spray of bullets, but thankfully you and your allies manage to dodge them all (and they just plink right off of Maple)

However, she once again brings out that large beam and opens fire directly on Dante!

"Gah, dammit, that shit hurts!" Dante growls out

"01000011 01101000 01100001 01101110 01100111 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01010000 01100001 01110010 01100001 01101101 01100101 01110100 01100101 01110010 01110011"

The robot woman's mirror-like barrier changes from it's deep blue to a gray color!




>Hiromu:HP:104/104 MP:52/62(Defense increased(-4))
>Dante:HP:56/93 MP:60/69(Phys Attack increased(+2)Defense increased(-4)

>Dante - Sword->Gun(89,107)
>Sailor Moon - Healing Light (Dante)
>Aqua - Thunder(64)
>Maple - night night(77)

That barrier looks...off. You aren't sure what else you can try to do, so you raise your sword and fire off magic similar to Ryza's. Unfortunately, you whiff both shots, as the robotic woman manages to dodge them. However what happens next is what really surprises you.

Dante goes for a sword attack, but it bounces off...and deals damage to him instead.

"Ow, what the hell...okay, then try this!" Dante calls out as he opens fire with his guns...only for that backfire as well.

Trait Activated...?Dope to Stylish...

Dante is left reeling fro the attack, so much so that Sailor Moon quickly jumps to his aid.

"Hang on, demon boy, I've got you!" Sailor Moon says coming to his side and healing him

"Thanks...I owe ya.

Meanwhile, Aqua attempts to fire off some lightning magic, but misses her attack!

"I-I'll do it!" Maple calls out going for a swing

"Wait maple don't!" You shout, but it's too late, as her attack bounces off and she gets hurt instead

"K-kyah! Th-that went through my defenses!" Maple wails "No fair!"

"01000011 01101000 01100001 01110010 01100111 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01110000 01101111 01110111 01100101 01110010"

You watch as the robot woman began glowing, almost as if she's charging up for something!

>Hiromu:HP:104/104 MP:46/62(Defense increased(-4))
>Dante:HP:32/93 MP:60/69(Phys Attack increased(+2)Defense increased(-4)

>Hiro:StarX2(98,93)
>Dante:Burger, guard
>Sailor Moon:Moonlight
>Aqua:Reflect (self)
>Maple:Iron Wall

Okay, one more time! You've clearly gotta get more practice in with magic, but even so, you're still able to land a couple of hits on the robot woman, although it doesn't stop her from charging up.

Dante, realizing he's kinda hurt, calls for you to toss him one of those Ryza burgers so he can chomp down on it before taking a defensive stance.

>Dante will take -4 damage on the next attack!

"I'll keep it up, hang in there everyone!" Sailor Moon called outo raising your defenses even more!

>All allies defense increased. Hiro,Dante, and Sailor Moon take -6 damage! Aqua takes -4 and Maple takes -12!

"I'll try this!" Aqua calls out as she covers herself in a reflective shield

"You won't hit me this time!" Maple calls out as she slams her shield on the ground again, raising her defense even higher

>Maple's defense increased! she now takes -16 damage!

"01000011 01101000 01100001 01110010 01100111 01100101 00100000 01000011 01101111 01101101 01110000 01101100 01100101 01110100 01100101 00101110 00100000 01010101 01101110 01101100 01100101 01100001 01110011 01101000 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01110011 01110100 01101111 01110010 01100101 01100100 00100000 01110000 01101111 01110111 01100101 01110010"

Again with the 0s and 1s...and she says it so fast too. As you're focusing on that you see that giant laser from before come out and she fires it at the entire party! You're able to duck behind Maple, and Sailor Moon is okay as well, but everyone else takes some serious damage from it. Though thanks to Aqua's shield some of the damage is reflecting back at the robot woman.
As you recover from the attack, you notice that the robot woman's body is now smoking, and the barrier that she had up is now gone!

"01001001 01101110 01101001 01110100 01101001 01100001 01110100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01110010 01100101 01100010 01101111 01101111 01110100 00101110 00101110 00101110"

This could be your chance!

"Keep...going..."

You're thrown off for a moment, as a downright gentle and serene voice echoes from the robot woman...did she just...encourage you?


>Hiromu:HP:104/104 MP:40/62(Defense increased(-6))
>Dante:HP:23/93 MP:60/69(Phys Attack increased(+2)Defense increased(-6)

>Hiro - Attack, Boiga (Aqua)(91)
>Dante - Ebony and Ivory, Sword(105,105)
>Sailor Moon - Healing Light (Dante)
>Aqua - Thunder(93)
>Maple - Attack(96)

That attack definitely did some damage especially to Dante and Aqua. You take out another burger and throw it to the Keyblade Master. "Ask questions later, eat now!" You call to her as you move in to slash away at the robot woman's limp body.

Seeing as this is his chance, Dance gets back into the fray, and delivers some hard gun shots and sword strikes onto her body.

Trait Activated:Dope to Stylish!

"Hang in there Dante!" Sailor Moon calls out, healing some of his wounds.

"It'll take more than that to knock me down!" Dante calls backk with a cocky grin

"Take this!" Aqua calls out calling forth more lightning on her

"I'll help too!" Maple calls out attacking the robot woman as well.

The robot woman rises back up, though the attacks you've gotten off have clearly done their work as she's scratched up in quite a few spots on her otherwise sleek skin.

>The enemy is no longer incapcitated!

>Hiromu:HP:104/104 MP:40/62(Defense increased(-6))

"Powerin' you up Dante!" You called out, as you engulfed him in a red aura before attempting to attack, only to fail...

"Thanks!" Dante called out, attempting to follow suit, but failing on both of his attacks as the woman dodged them both with ease.

"Tch, Dammit." Dante growled

"Keep it up, I've got you!" Sailor Moon called out, healing him up again.

"I've got it!" Aqua called out calling forth more lightning.

"Aqua, stay behind me!" Maple said planting herself between the keyblade master and the enemy

"01001001 01101110 01100011 01110010 01100101 01100001 01110011 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01100100 01100001 01101101 01100001 01100111 01100101 00100000 01101111 01110101 01110100 01110000 01110101 01110100 00101110 00101110 00101110"

Once again a blue aura appears over the robot woman's body.

>Enemy's magic damage increased!

The robot woman takes aim at you with one of her lasers, but you dodge it easily!

Like before, a mirror-like barrier is erected around the woman, but this time it's yellow!

>Hiromu:HP:104/104 MP:30/62(Defense increased(-6))
>Dante:HP:66/93 MP:54/69(Phys Attack increased(+4)Defense increased(-6)

>Hiro - Attack X2(71,69)
>Dante - Ebony and Ivory, Sword(106,91)
>Sailor Moon - Moonlight
>Aqua - Blizzard(70)
>Maple - Attack(86)

You go for another set of attacks, but you completely flub them. Missing both attacks as the woman dodges with ease, making you look foolish

Dante however manages to get some hits in this time and with both his guns and sword, much better than the last time.

Trait Activated:Dope to Stylish

"Hang in there everybody, solider through!" Sailor Moon called out, raising your team's defense

>All allies defense increased! Hiro, Dante, and Sailor Moon take -8! Aqua takes -6! Maple takes -18!

"Take this!" Aqua called out calling forth ice magic,but missing her shot!

"Maple moved in, to take a swipe at the woman, and actually managed to get a hit off

"01001001 01101110 01101001 01110100 01101001 01100001 01110100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01000101 01101010 01100101 01100011 01110100 01101001 01101111 01101110 00100000 01010000 01110010 01101111 01110100 01101111 01100011 01101111 01101100 00100000..."


The robot woman took aim at Aqua and fired a ray of light at her that instantly sends her back to Holly's COMP.

"W-what the hell was that?!" You exclaim in surprise as Aqua disappears

You watch as she opens fire on Dante, with him dodging with ease, before she switched her barrier to red!



>Hiromu:HP:104/104 MP:30/62(Defense increased(-8))

>Aeda type-g:294/750(MAG Increased (+4))

>Hiro - Summon Star, Summon Ryza(66)
>Dante - Guard
>Sailor Moon - Moonlight
>Maple - Guard

Dammit! you quickly call Ryza forth from your COMP,  before attempting to fire some more magic, but to no avail as it was easily sidestepped.

Dante and maple had opted for taking defensive stances to prepare for whatever else this woman would dish out.


"I'll keep us going!" Sailor Moon called out, raising your team's defense

>All allies defense increased! Ryza now takes -2 damage! All other allies defense has reached their limit!

The robot woman opens fire on you and this time scores a solid hit, you scream as your hit, stumbling to the ground before working up the power to stand back up. She then once more, engulfs herself in that blue aura

>Enemy's Magic increased!

You watch as the enemy's barrier turns from red to green!


>Hiromu:HP:104/104 MP:27/62(Defense increased(-8))

>Dante - Ebony and Ivory, Sword(95,67)
>Sailor Moon - Moonlight
>Ryza - Staff Smash(102)
>Maple - Cover up (Ryza)

You move in for another attack and once again, your moves are able to be read and easily dodged, you grunt in annoyance.

Dante moved in to deliver an attack from his guns, but stumbled with his sword attack

"I'll keep us going!" Sailor Moon called out, raising your team's defense again!

>All allies defense increased! Ryza now takes -4 damage!

Ryza goes in with her staff, smashing it as hard as she can against the woman's head, a sickening crack echoing throughout the room.

"Stay behind me Ryza!" Maple said "She won't get through me this time!"

"The robot woman begins glowing again, charging up her power!"

>Maple - Night-Night!(30)

You can hit her this time right? Definitely this time right? Well yes and no, you miss your first attack, and just barely hit the second one.

Dante attacked as well, but missed his gun shots, however he managed to get a hit in with his sword!

"Take this!" Sailor Moon exclaimed delivering a kick to the woman

Ryza goes in for another hit with her staff, once again smashing the enemy right on the head.

Meanwhile, Maple attempts to hit her, but due to her slowness, is easily dodged.

The robot woman unleashes her stored up power, the blast sweeps across the room, with only you, Sailor Moon, and Ryza dodging the hit, with Dante and Maple taking serious damage With Dante being hit so bad that's he knocked out! Retreating to your COMP!

Once again the enemy calms down, smoke billowing from her body.

"Almost...there...please...stop me." Her voice once again takes on that extremely sweet and kind tone, the kind that makes you feel awful for beating on her so badly as you have.

This is it! You're chance to really get in there and deal some damage. As Renee takes Dante's place, you move in and slash at her body as hard as you can.

"Here Renee, Ryza, stay strong!" Sailor Moon called out, raising their defense!

>Renee and Ryza's defense increased! Renee takes -2 and Ryza takes -6!

Ryza takes out a Thunder Bomb and throws it the downed woman, with Maple following up after her and getting a free hit in herself.

You go in for more attacks, but miss yet again, cursing your luck.

"I've got it! Don't worry!" Renee exclaims firing off some electricity  at the enemy and hitting her spot on!

Sailor Moon tries to fire off her her Tiara, but unfortunately, the attack misses it mark, before flying back towards her.

Ryza sends another bomb flying at the woman, and it hits just as hard as before, shocking the robot woman's body.

Maple follows up, Smacking her upside the head again with her sword.

The robot woman opens fire on both you and Renee, but you both manage to dodge it! She's looking extremely worn out now, barely holding on as the numerous cracks and smoking bits of her body fill more of the area.

It's almost finished, you can feel it, you take a slash at her and hit once...as for the second one, you sort of...spin around and hit yourself with the flat end of your sword.

It's Renee who ends the battle, striking the robot woman with one last shot of electricty before she finally falls to the floor, the ring that was around her neck breaking.

"Finally...thank you." She mutters as she begins to fade away "I am sorry...perhaps...in the future...we can meet again...so...that I may make amends...for my transgressions this day.

With that, the woman fades away, the only thing being in her place is a summon crystal. and you all let out a sigh of relief now that the battle has ended.

"Q-quick the power!" Holly calls out

"Right!" you quickly go to the controls and flip the proper switches to get everything powered back up.

"Good, that should do it."

>You defeated Aeda type-g
>you gained 650EXP!
>You obtained $4300!
>You obtained Aeda type-g's summon crystal
>You obtained 10 common summon crystals
>You obtained 5 Rare Summon Crystals

You head back to through the door and back into the mall proper, making sure to leave the security room key behind, last thing you wanna do is leave with it. You also take the summon crystal, no doubt if you leave it here, Jail would probably try to retrieve it. As you make your way back to where this all started you're met with Duran. He's sweaty and worn out, but you can tell from his smile that he'll be fine.

"You did it Hiromu! The powers back on and the people have started to leave the area."

>Good work, now let's sneak out of here
>How did things go for you?
>Other/write-in

>How'd things go for you?

"How'd things go for you?" You ask

"Decent enough, the attacks stopped after a while, but me and the guards were able to hold them while they were attacking. Eventually they just left for some reason."

"Most likely because Jail called them off. I'm not exactly sure what he's planning, but it can't be good, said he needed souls for...something."

"I see. I think it's time I made myself scarce, no doubt the guards will come back in full force and do a sweep of the place now that the commotion has died down.

Crap he's right...in fact you think you can hear some of them coming now as Duran returns to your COMP.

>Hide!
>Quick everyone, into the velvet room!"
>Other/Write-in

>Quick everyone, into the velvet room!"

"Everyone, into the Velvet Room quick!" You exclaim, making a beeline for the blue portal, you all quickly fall through and appear in front of Igor.

"Great work my friends! It is most excellent that you were able to save that poor soul. But at least we know a bit more now on how Nyarlathotep is operating. This blue rings, used to control persons from other worlds...and the collection of souls. We have much to talk about my compatriots and I."

"Right, let us now what you find out." You say

"I will, but for now you must be terribly exhausted. Please, go see Hanekoma, he will help you in getting home."

"What about my car...?"

"Leave that to me. You return home and rest. You've earned it."

You aren't going to question him. You're much too tired for that. You head into the left door that leads to Hanekoma's coffee shop, to which he gives you a wave.

"Hey there kids, good work out there."

"How are we getting home?" Renee asks

"Easy, just take a step through that door." He said pointing towards the front door of the shop

"I-I don't understand." Holly muttered

"Just go on through, you'll understand then."

You all look to one another before stepping through the front door of the shop...and ending up your apartment.

"What the hell...?" Renee mutters looking around "We're home?"

"Looks like it. Goodnight." You say dropping onto the couch.

Holly doesn't even bother heading upstairs and just plops down on the floor, instantly out of it. Renee quickly follows suit. Finding a place on the floor as well. If there's one thing you learned from all of this it had to be one thing:

Shopping with women sucks.
