Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

Before the attacks came, there was another nuisance. It was that guy. Holly knew she recognized his messy blue hair the second she saw him. She turned her head slightly and looked at him out of the corner of her eyes.
"Name's Holly, don't call me blondie."
Further comment was unnecessary, nor did she have time for it. The attacks were coming. A particularly powerful blow was coming her way, but she managed to dive out of the way at the last second. Unfortunately, it was much more difficult to control herself in midair, so the second attack managed to hit her in the gut, knocking her back a fair distance. The attack was nothing she couldn't handle, so after a moment to recover from having the wind being knocked out of her, she got up and continued fighting. Or rather weakening the enemy so everyone else could fight more effectively. It was about the same thing really.

Layla managed to avoid the first attack, barely, but in doing so put herself directly in the path of the second. She took another slash because of that. She was still in okay condition, but even with the repeated healing the now near-constant flashes of pain with every successful attack were starting to get to her. And on top of that, people had already started to drop. They would have to finish this battle quickly.
"Again! Light up the night!" Layla called out, directing the Terminator of Death to bring down another column of light on the moon-like shadow. Despite the dire situation all of them were in, she was still able to be positive enough to make silly quips like that. Good. That was good, at least. But hopefully, they were almost done.

With the enemy's resistance to dark attacks down, Luka decided to go straight for an attack rather than charging up. After all, what if the enemies decided to switch sides again? Before actually attacking, Luka jumped back out of the range of the enemy's flurry of spikes. She was able to dodge the majority of them by simply remaining still, though a few slight movements had to be made to graze past a few of them. Though she was nowhere near being hit by the attack itself. With the spikes out of her way, Luka released a large mass of dark energy that she sent hurdling towards the enemy. That should do it for now.

This was getting to be a lot more trouble than it was worth. Despite the effects of her speed boosting, Jaelyn still wasn't fast enough to get out of the way of the attack. Pretty much the only reason she hadn't gone down long ago now was the fact that Miss Immune-To-Alcohol over there kept healing them. And while Jaelyn was greatful for that...everything still fucking hurt. Well, fine. To hell with speed boosting. At the rate things were going she was better off just hammering it with more attacks anyway.
Darkness started spewing out from the sides of Caligula's "face", from the edges where it attached to the rest of the persona's head. He raised his hand to his face and slid it away, revealing nothing but an impossibly deep chasm of darkness within. Dark clouds began pouring out of the opening, quickly enveloping the sun shadow and then bombarding it from all sides in an attack stronger than what Jaelyn was used to seeing her Persona do. Odd. Must have happened during one of her trips to the airport. Whatever, though. It was effective, and hopefully the sun shadow would choke on it.

Ally's job had been taken care of for this fight. At least, until these shadows decided to remove all of her hard work again. She was sincerely hoping that it wouldn't be the case since she wanted to help taking out these shadows herself. Though, the shadow would certainly have something else in mind for her this time.
A flurry of spikes came in at everyone. Knowing all too well about her vulnerability to pierce attacks, Ally began to dodge through the attacks with relative ease. Only, as she had begun to, that kid got in the way and began to take some unnecessary blows. Hey kid, knock it off! I can't bring you back if you go down! Only, her words came a tad too late as she watched the boy go down. Gritting her teeth, she turned to the enemy only for her eyes to widen in surprise. A large mass of dark energy was coming straight for her. Quickly dashing to the side, Ally narrowly escaped the enemy's attack as it exploded to the ground near her. That attack was likely dark-based; her other weakness. This shadow must have really had it out for her.
She could see a few fighters who were downed now. Slowly they were getting picked off one by one. The only option that the girl could see was to simply take down this thing as fast as possible before they all went down. Pulling out a bomb from her bag, the girl lobbed it at the shadow for strike damage.

Gin had been hit. If it were a normal attack, that would have been fine. Sadly, it had to be a super strength strike attack. That had caused him to roar in pain, as well as make him mad. He was more hardy than the average user, it seemed. However, if it weren't for the constant healing even he would be running on low and nearly about to collapse. Yet then his brother did something ignorant. It unleashed what appeared to be its strongest attack on Gin. This would have been a good idea; if it weren't for the fact that the attack, a light based spell, washed right over the tiger without harm.
He felt another healing wave go over him, but he didn't care. The other shadow was undoubtedly on its last legs. Nothing could withstand the attacks from this side for long, and Gin was sure that the other side had kept it entertained as well. With a growl, Gin prepared himself for another dark spell when something occurred to him. "People, I'm unsure of your experience with my kind. That in mind, don't become irritated with my warning. These shadows are probably getting weaker, right? Well, if they are close to dying then they will likely unleash an attack to cause enough harm that they would... Die in peace, let's say. If they were strong enough to put up an impenetrable wall, then it stands to reason that they would be able to pull off a powerful attack."
Post by Rikki Hisako on Mar 22, 2014 15:15:34 GMT -5
Rikki blinked as the blonde girl responded to him. Ruffling his hair a bit, he turned back to her for no more than a moment. Right, right. Holly. Clearly, Rikki didn't feel the slightest bit of danger in this situation. He had been dodging all of the enemy's attacks with ease, so why should he? Only, as he turned back he noticed that a few of the guys on this side had been taken down. That wasn't good. It wasn't the fact that they weren't getting healed either. The shadow was just hitting that hard. And despite the danger that the boy was witnessing, he still had the nerve to ignore the shadow itself.
He noticed the flurry of spikes a bit later than he should have, where he then began to scramble as he attempted to move out of the way. Unfortunately, he didn't scramble hard enough as he was hit directly in the chest with a spike. The boy's smile disappeared for a moment as he twitched in what was very clearly a lot of pain. Pulling the spike out of his body, he willed for another burst of healing over everyone in the fight. He wasn't about to lose this fight. If he needed to get serious, he would. He sincerely hoped the fight wouldn't come to that though. Forcing a smile back onto his face, the boy regained his carefree position in the battle.

The dance continued. These humans refused to fall. If they wished to dance the night away, that was fine. If they wished to dance all day, this, too, was fine. However, there was only one true outcome to this arrangement, and they were, truly, entering the final movement. Power surged. The Sun began to glow brilliantly. The energy radiating from it was fierce and violent, much like the orb in the heavens that was revered, feared, desired, and hated.
The Sun crackled with energy, letting out a wave of solar winds! Major Lightning damage is sent to the party!
The Sun began to burn brightly, steaming with fury before producing a prominent wave of fire! Moderate Fire damage will hit all that the blow connects with! Furthermore, Akira, Alisa, Nisha, Isolde, Jaelyn, and Amane will be Enraged on connection!
The Sun shifted and twirled towards the wall, thrusting one of its blades into the barrier. A ripple effect spread across its side of the wall. The wall has fallen! Attacks may now target both Shadows, and support spells may now function on all Users!
Withdrawing its second blade the Sun offered its hands to the Moon. One hand was below. The other was to the left. They were acting as braces, providing a stable miniature environment in which the energy of their next attack could build and flourish. The Shadows are charging up for a powerful attack!
The deadly danced continued through the night with no sign of either side stopping. The shadows of course, never intended on stopping. As for the humans, they could dance if they wanted to. They could leave their friends behind. Though the dance could only end one way. It would either be in their favor, or in the shadows'. The light around the Moon began to fade even more. The darkness became increasingly dense. It was darkness that represented the unknown, mystery, and uncertainty the humans naturally feared.
The Moon releases powerful gusts of wind onto the battlefield! Major Wind damage is sent to the whole party! However, the attack misses Rikki, and Sakuya!
The Moon touches the ground for a moment, causing large spikes of ice to rise from the ground, hitting everyone for Moderate Ice damage! However, this attack misses Holly, Luka, and Rikki. This attack also causes Layla, Ally, Vice, Kyle, and Sakuya to become charmed should the attack hit!
Then just as before, the Moon shifted towards the wall and thrust its sword at it. A large ripple went across the wall just as it did for the other side causing the wall to fall! The wall is now gone! Users may now target both Shadows, and support spells may now function on all allies!
With the wall now gone, the Moon took the hands of the Sun. From in between this embrace, they could now unleash that which they had been saving for just the right occasion. Together, they created a stable to house the power that they were about to unleash. The Shadows are charging up for a powerful attack!

Tristan heard the tiger-shadow say something about a super-charged finale. He was about to comment when he was hit by lightning. It hurt pretty bad, but he was counting on some healing. Then a wave of fire came at him, which Tristan didn't even try to avoid. It passed over him without any pain, but the real kicker was just starting.
The shadows dropped the wall and started to charge up, proving the overgrown house cat right.
Deciding that the best course of action would be to shut up and ignore the kitty, Tristan summoned Ifreet. The djinn immediately cast a boosted Agilao at the moon. It was the strongest spell he could use, and it would work to kill one if they were both charging.

Sadly, Gin was right. Things were nearing their end, and that meant that his brethren were going to finish spectacularly. While he was glad that he was right, this did pose a problem. The next attack, while probably their last, will be the most devastating one of all. He doubted that some of the weaker humans would be able to withstand a large scale attack. He turned to the one capable healer he knew of- the girl that he had fought before.
"Miss, I'm not going to tell you what to do. That would be suicidal right now. No, what I'm going to do is make your options apparent. You can heal everyone around here right now in preparation of the attack, or you could possibly attack and try to hinder it. I doubt the second one would work well, but I'm making sure you realize everything you can do. Keep it in mind, okay?" He then turned to his brethren, the two powerful shadows before him. They were charging up for their final attack. With a shake of his head, Gin concentrated his being into casting a new spell. This spell bathed the two shadows in pure energy, causing a great deal of harm if they were even affected.
He then turned back to the girl. "I just realized something. I don't even know your name. Care to share this information?"
Post by Ringo Shiro on Mar 23, 2014 2:08:26 GMT -5
Ringo let out a few coughs for air as soon as his wounds begin to close. They didn't close completely but it was enough to allow him to get up and pick up his sword and sheathe once more. He decided to pace himself getting up and look around himself. However it didn't seem like the moon shadow was going to ease up on them. The light of the moon began to fade when it unleashed a great burst of wind.
Ringo was blasted away and landed on the ground. He got up to check his wounds. Thankfully nothing reopened. Unfortunately he wasn't fast enough to dodge the ice attack completely. He rolled out of the way but the ice spike deeply slashed his leg. He quickly used his sheathe as a walking stick to get himself back up just in time to see the moon touching the wall with its sword. He looked at the wall not far from him disappear.
"Phoebe! Maria! Alisa!" Ringo called out to those he knew on the other side. However he now saw an opportunity. "Tokoyo!" The shadows seem to be powering up for a great attack...however... "Mind Slice!!" Tokoyo drew her sword and began to unleash slashes that rained down on both shadows.
The noise was beginning to fade away, the shouts of battle and the fury of the ongoing storm of attacks on his side of the wall. Unnecessary trivia going all around him bleeding into nothingness as Vice's focus began to warp around to just himself, the enemy, and all the things in between. He could hear the blood pumping in his heart, he could feel his lungs take in oxygen, and he could see the attacks coming at him.
Whether it had been through the sheer adrenaline coursing through his veins or the triple stack of Sukukaja, though it was probably the latter, the attacks that were coming for him came at a cripple like speed. The wind attack was dodged, some of his hair getting clipped by it as the rumbling of the floor beneath his feet forced the biker to jump aside. Not a moment later, ice spikes stabbed the place where Vice had been.
Rolling back into a standing position, Vice had just been ready to unleash a Black Viper on the Shadow but had been stopped when the walls had been torn down. Suddenly, the noise lost its filter and reality came crashing back unto him as the sounds of everything around him came banging on his ear drums. Staggering for a moment, being ejected from the zone was never a good feeling, Vice allowed himself a moment to catch his breath before changing his choice of attack and having Arondight fulfil his wish.

The Shadow of the Sun began to become irradiated with some sort of burning energy or substance; I couldn't quite tell what it was, but regardless, it was fierce. The energy that was crackling from it began to spill out, as a wave of solar winds began to wash over everyone in the vicinity; and it sizzled and burned as I weathered the strange electrical currents. The energy crackled within me and it overloaded my inner magic circuitry, causing me to gasp and fizzle out a little as smoke emanated from my arms. As if that wasn't bad enough, the irradiation began to spill out in the form of steaming flames as a wave of fire soon followed. Without any chance to evade the attack having already been hit with the solar wind and been disrupted; I soon felt a furious flame slam into me. Though, compared to the previous attack it didn't really hurt much. A fiery sensation welled up in me but I was able to stave it off. Was it supposed to make one become enraged?
No time to think about that though - the Sun Shadow soon quickly broke the barrier with a rippling strike, causing the wall to fall over, somehow. Now the entire fighting force was here again. Eventually, the two dancing Shadows joined hands and began to do something - creating some sort of singularity? I couldn't quite tell what it was they were doing but I knew it wasn't good. They planned to unleash some sort of incredibly strong attack? Well, we had to put a stop to that. Brandishing my knife once more I quickly went into the fray and tried to strike both Shadows at once with the Blade of Fury.

The Shadow of the Moon continued its dance, and it began to fade and the darkness started to become even denser than it was earlier. After some time, it released powerful gusts of wind onto the battlefield - this would be of little concern to Sakuya who at this point in time was resistant to most of the elements, except she was completely missed by the winds. Next up as the Shadow touched the ground, large spikes of ice began to rise up from the ground. As the great icicles clashed into Sakuya's body, they shattered into nothingness as Sakuya clearly nullified these attacks. Her increased willpower had also nullified any potential side effects of the impact. Eventually, her attentions were changed as the Shadow brought down the wall. Now, everyone was visible and Sakuya in her Shadow form could see Jaelyn.
She could see that although Jaelyn was not in any immediate harm - she probably figured someone on Jaelyn's side at the time was keeping everyone alive - Sakuya wanted to make sure she was alright. Sakuya soon immediately rushed over to Jaelyn, serpentine sword now in hand. Jaelyn, honey! Sakuya called out to her as she ran over to her side. How's everything on this side? Are you doing alright?! Those Shadow dancers look like they're gonna do something dangerous, so let's blow 'em up and then blow this joint when they're dead With that, Sakuya immediately charged over to the Sun Shadow with her blade and immediately brought it down coupled with a chaotic energy that could only have gone from an enraged heavens.
