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.
With the next phase of their deadly dance completed, the humans seemed to have been worn down a considerable amount. Though, some chose to remain resilient in the face of their attacks. The battle continued on the side of the Moon regardless. Just as the humans would continue to attack, the Moon would be ready to fire right back at them.
Swiping its blades through the air, the Moon sent gusts of wind at everyone, dealing major wind damage on all users!
Afterward, the Moon dropped a mass of dark energy on the field. John is hit for severe dark damage!
Finally, the shadow swung its crescent blades, dealing major slash damage to Jonathan! It was a critical hit!

”Hey.” The boy in drag went for the larger lady's attention. ”Lady, I don't know you aside from your face, but if you're gonna try giving people some morale-boostin', how 'bout gettin' your damn facts straight? The one that can clear debuffs is on the other side. As is the debuffer. This one? It clears buffs. The same shit I used before. The same shit you just used. It's gonna be wiped clean, over and over. Been doing this a bit longer than you, I'm sure. Especially if you're still using Rakukaja. Take. My. Word. For. It." With that, he turned his attention over to the giant pussy.
”And you, Takemoto Gin. Apologize with actions, not words. You want me to trust you? Not to think you're some bipolar fuck that's gonna attack the moment your feelings get hurt or you get a stomach cramp? Prove it with action. Not. With. Words!” The crossdresser didn't get angry often, but the Shadows started it. Now he was just calling everyone out on whatever annoyed him. He then looked to Maria. ”Don't worry about healing. Attack. The same goes to all of you! Attack! Make it bleed! Make it die! If you get hurt, I'll heal you!” And, just about in time for that, the next wave came. The only substantial blow he took was of the wind, but others were hit. He wanted to go shopping. He wanted to attack. He wanted a number of things, but his words effectively tied him down for the time being. Pain in the ass dipshit bastard of a Shadow needed to get wrecked.
”Again, Alma. Mediarahan. Get everyone, this time.” He noted, giving the cat a stare. If the cat proved to be an issue, he'd likely use the Shadow as the receptacle of his annoyance and anger.

The counter-attack came pretty hard in the form of a blast of wind that nearly knocked her on her back and actually felt like blades slicing at her skin. Phoebe cursed. Just as she was shaking it off and groaning from the pain, a little kid in a frilly dress came up to her and gave her a complete bitching. Phoebe blinked and stared at her, half-incredulous, half-angry that this little upstart would decide that the best time to treat someone on her side like garbage was in the middle of a fucking battle against giant Shadows.
Her indignation boiled up but fortunately for the girl and all present, reason prevailed. That really wasn't the worst bitching she'd ever put up with, by far and away. She took a deep breath, glared back a bit and gave a sharp nod. She wouldn't argue with the truth.
"Fine, whatever! So sorry I'm not trained in combat situations, I got mixed up," she snapped back, trying to keep back the explosion of Greek and English and maybe some Turkish swears she knew from her nan. After all, one can't choose their comrades. "You want it dead, we'll make the fucking thing dead. No need to get your panties in a bunch."
She brushed that off and shrugged. If she was going to keep dumping heals on them that was fine, meant she could go all out. "Gin, nevermind what they're saying, just give it all you've got!"
With that, she concentrated and re-summoned Hypatia, who had faded from the combined shock of being hit by the wind spell and getting bitched at. The Persona appeared in a swath of light and Phoebe willed an attack.
"Hypatia, stab it."
Well it was almost as if her Persona shared her frustration. The Myriad Arrows came down harder than ever and in more waves than before. The energy shards crashed into the Shadow with loud cracks and the ugly, meaty sounds of points entering flesh.
The nerve of that little girl! Just because she's been doing this longer! So fucking what if I'm not that good. 'Mark my words', my achin' ass! she thought, angrily.

Ringo identified his situation as he got up. One of the persona users on his side started to heal so the stab he got from one of the piercing attacks wasn't bad. He looked over at the sleepy girl. He failed to protect her from the attack which he might have to apologize to her for. His eyes glowed however they stopped when he saw the shadow shooting out electricity. Ringo shuddered as he was hit and collapsed on his knees. While his persona can indeed shoot electricity it was by no means resistant to it in anyway.
"Ah damn!!" The shadow sent a burst of light towards Layla and is now attempting to slash at the sleepy girl. Ringo knew that the girl casted a Sukukaja and all but he wasn't sure how well she was going to dodge that. "Tokoyo!!" The lady samurai seeped out of his body and flew over to attempt to intercept the attack with Arm Chopper. Please be okay....!
The lightning strike hurt, though not as much as the last few attacks that Vice had to work with. All things considered, the Sun Shadow hadn't really done much this turn, and even then most of them had been single target skills as compared to the usual multi hit attacks that have been being thrown at them not too long ago. It probably meant something, Vice was sure of it.
"Follow up with a heal! That thing might be readying a Multi target."
The red eyed Emperor half ordered, half suggested at the different way the shadow had been acting. Still, there was no time to dawdle and with a hefty raise of his hand called forth for Arondight's next attack. Much as he may have wanted to use another Black Viper, it still took quite a bit out of him and despite his larger reserves it would be prudent not to use up too much. So this time, the biker answered the Sun Shadow with a Deathbound.

The nerve of that girl...
Now Tristan wasn't one to disagree with obvious facts. Plus, the girl called the shadow out. He could get behind someone like that. But yelling at someone who's doing their best to help? That was downright fucking low. He even felt Ifreet agree with him, though the Persona kept quiet.
"Excuse me?" He approached the girl. So what if she had just healed him? He was grateful, but she still didn't have the right. "Miss, what's your deal? The shadow thing I can understand. He was stupid to heal the moon-thing. But at the same time, you don't have to yell at Phoebe. She was just trying to help. Treat your allies with some respect in situations like this. Please?"
With that, he turned the the tiger. "You. I refuse to trust you. You were idiotic. However, you did just hurt the enemy so i assume you're trying to help. However, you turn on us and I will set your tail on fire. So, don't fuck up. Do you understand?"
He turned to Phoebe. "You know this shadow? Yeah, you called it Gin. I've lost a lot of respect for you. On the other hand, I still trust you. So I trust that this thing won't hurt us. Otherwise, you are going to be held responsible. You got it? Good."
He turned to the larger shadow, then sent another fireball at it. It was weak to such, so he was going to use it until he couldn't anymore.

Jonathon had just gotten back to his feet. Thankfully, several of the users trapped facing the dark shadow had decided to use healing spells. He felt much better then when he had been hit by both shadows repeatedly. "Mazio!" He shouted, summoning Orochi and having the snakes firing off bolts of electricity at the the dark shadow. Of course, it was shortly after that attack went off that the shadow began to attack. The gust of wind knocked him back, hurting like crazy. Thinking that was the brunt of it, Jonathon staggered to his feet, just in time to get slash across the chest. "Damn it..." He said, getting knocked back again, now with a nice slash across his chest.
Post by Gin Takemoto on Mar 19, 2014 21:24:32 GMT -5
"Heh." Gin stretched a bit after hearing the girl's rant. It was almost worth responding too, but he wasn't sure if the girl actually knew if that was exactly what he was trying to do or not. Still, the girl healed him. He knew she was obviously willing to at least give him a chance. Then there was Phoebe telling him to just keep going. He was resolved to help her, so he prepared to shoot off another Mahamaon. However, the one boy shot off at him.
It was almost amusing. Everyone refused to trust him. The only thing they gave him ant credit for is that Phoebe vouched for him. He knew there would be few chances to prove himself, so he wanted to get over his thinking for himself thing. It almost got him killed this time; it could be worse next time. That in mind, he attacked the shadow with his light spell again.

Luka continued to focus herself on the battle at hand. With her focus, all unimportant noises were shut out as she did her thing. Naturally, her main purpose for this fight was to bring this thing down as fast as possible. Keeping an eye on the shadow's movements, the girl managed to dodge the next incoming attack. It seemed that the others were already making a great effort to try and rebuff everyone. It was a major setback, but everyone was coming back just fine.
Finally charged up, Luka let loose another mass of dark energy at the sun shadow. At this rate, the shadow shouldn't last much longer. Her attacks were doing quite a number on the enemy. Keep it up guys! I think we're getting there! Her words held little purpose other than for the sake of simply saying them. Perhaps this was because her morale was so high this fight? That was likely the case. Either way, She was in very good condition for this fight.

Continuing to limp over at the enemy shadow that seemed to loom over her, Ally clutched her body to suppress the pain. When the electric attack came, the girl narrowly dodged out of harms way where she continued just a bit further. From there, she noticed the shadow begin to slash at her. The girl attempted to dodge, only to fall just short of making it. Instead, it seemed that the boy from earlier decided to intercept the attack. Now on the floor from her attempted dodge, she looked over at the boy with a glare. Knock it off kid! I've got this. Besides, that wouldn't have hurt me all that much. She should have been thankful to the boy. But Ally was never one to accept help. She needed top do things on her own. That was her way.
Need. . . to go faster. With those words, the girl's persona appeared sending another surge of Sukukaja over everyone. From there, the girl got back up and readied herself for another Sukukaja when the time came. If she could enable everyone to avoid attacks, they would stand a better chance.

With a sigh of relief the boy put his hands in his pockets. Everyone seemed to be getting back on their feet thanks to the healing. Furthermore, it seemed that he was "put in charge" of doing the healing for the fight. Saluting the blonde girl that he recognized from the last fight, the boy willed his persona to his side. Got it, Blondie! Turning back to look at the shadow, the boy saw the electrical attack come flying in which he dodged with relative ease. Heh. Close one. Not even close, baby.
Now out of harm's way, the boy decided to finally heal the group to prevent anyone from falling. Nobody is dying on my watch! I got this! With a hearty chuckle, the boy stuck his hands back into his pockets and looked over the fight with a stupid grin.

Moon Side
The Shadow seemed to roll with the punches and decided to send gusts of wind at everyone. Of course, it was difficult for me to evade the attack since all the increased power had been dispelled, and as such I couldn't help but feel the gusts of wind slice into my body, it hurt, but fortunately my body still remained in one piece. "Jesus Christ, people, this is not the time to be arguing," I yelled out at everyone, still remaining steadfast and staring down the Shadow. Charging my right arm up with electricity once more I aimed a bolt of Ziodyne at the Moon Shadow before letting it rip and watching it slam into the Shadow itself squarely in the chest. "We can take care of your all butt-devastated asses after the battle." I cursed under my breath, hopefully inaudibly, but I'll be damned if anybody actually heard me. People can be so immature sometimes.

Sun Side
Sakuya kept bashing uselessly at the wall, panting in a rage and fury when she realized the Shadow-erected barrier probably wouldn't go away unless the person who made it disappeared... But it was Shadow created. She didn't want to give the impression that she would ally herself with the Users either, even though the Indian girl from the airport had suggested doing damage to the Shadow of the Sun. On top of that, a familiar blue-haired girl was there too. Sakuya honestly didn't want to have to deal with her again. Sighing, she turned to the Shadow of the Sun, suddenly shifting into her Shadow form, which consisted of her maturing, nearly naked body covered with tattoos and her pet snake. Her snake blade had magically appeared in her hand, meaning she'd have her bolo with her whenever she decided to become a human again.
Casually approaching the Shadow, Sakuya started screaming at it. You fucking bastard! What kind of selfish pair of dancers decides to split the fucking Mall in half like that? My beautiful girlfriend is on the other side, and you have the fucking gall to take the pleasure of me checking up on her away from me? For all I know, she could be getting hurt by your goddamn worthless partner on the other side! Sakuya raised her snake sword at it. I normally don't give a damn about these Users if I don't have a reason to, but they're doing me a service by working to get rid of your sorry asses! Why don't you just disappear and take your goddamn wall with you!
Sakuya charged at the Shadow of the Sun, blade in hand, calling down the fury of her immense love and passion for Jaelyn to energize it. And if any of you goddamn Persona Users get in my way too, you're gonna get it coming to you, so STAY OUT OF MY WAY!
(( Executing Heaven's Blade maneuver on the Sun Shadow. Attacking Sakuya right now will make you into her enemy, so you'd better refrain from attacking her unless you want to pick a fight with her. ))

Shaking with weakness, Crux barely heard the orders that were relayed. Take care of the downed. Keep watch over the girl near the wall. Orders have been received. Adjusting objectives of current mission. Crux highlighted the older man who had passed out and Sakuya, who was still fussing over the magic partition at that point. "Tch..." It was a given that there would be more attacks where those came from. But, luckily he only had one set to deal with.
His HUD was starting to get covered with noise along with his vision. Auditory sensors were acting up just as badly. With all of his senses totaled, there was very little to be done other than to rely on luck to anticipate the next attack. When it came, everything suddenly came back online... for a split second. He could see, he could hear, and he could feel his circuits frying themselves. Both of his legs were now immobile, leaving his arm and his head as the only functioning limbs he had. Smoke puffed from the open gashes in his body, and for a second time Crux was going to go offline. The embrace of death was sweet... is he finally reaching it?
Oh, the tragedy of dying in chains.
Again, someone healed him. These interruptions were irritating and comforting at the same time. If he could demonstrate his gratitude, he would. But, he couldn't speak. Crux couldn't do anything, really. All he did was watch as his allies fought the good fight. That man was still down, so his attention was diverted towards the woman. Of all the times, the robot could feel the hammering sensation again. She was a Shadow... fighting a Shadow? An enemy still. His primary directive is to destroy Shadows.
Tough luck. Crux can't do jack. Too weak. Metal statue mode.

Nisha was honestly more concerned about the growing discord around her than the incoming attacks. The wind ripped across her body. She felt as though massive blades were cutting into her body. She winced, but she stood strong. Even if she was weak to that sort of attack, she couldn't let herself fall. Another wave of healing came over her. She felt every last bit of damage disappear. She was back at her full strength. She just needed to focus on fighting. The noise around her suggested that the giant tiger was no longer an applicant to be attacked. For how long that applied, the woman did not know, but if the full group was at least tolerating him, what reason did she have to go against that? Willing for another Akasha Arts, she, this time, focused entirely on the Shadow of moon.
”Everyone needs to. . . calm down and. . . fight our mutual. . . enemy.” She noted before watching as Shango unleashed a wave of destruction on the Shadow. Had her words even reached anybody? It was doubtful. She was too quiet. At the very least, she was carrying her weight. She just hoped the healer didn't back out of the fight.
Action: Akasha Arts on the Moon Shadow only.
