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.
"This expedition was made in the essence of teamwork. Last I knew, leaving someone behind wasn't part of the plan." Vice retorted, and though it might have been worded in a rather snarky way, the amused tone that accompanied it meant that the thing was all in good laughter. Really though, leaving behind anyone, even if they were completely useless shits, made Vice feel bad. Not because someone had to be left behind but because he himself wasn't good enough to prevent such an event happening. A team is only as strong as their weakest link after all.
"That said, you can probably learn a thing or two from either of me or Luka, Tristan. And if shit hits the fan, just hang back and play support." Turning to face Luka this time, the signs of brevity on Vice's face was slowly bleeding away into something a bit more serious. "All things considered, I'd go for fighting on this floor a bit longer. Pacing might be a problem if we keep going higher than we could. Besides, teamwork right? It's difficult to get the foundation done when we're too busy trying to to survive."

Judging from the responses she received from the other two, staying on this floor seemed to be the preferred course of action. Nodding, the girl took the lead once more as the headed further in. I suppose I could give you a bit of advice. Though, I'm not quite sure how much use it would be for you. Luka was talking to Tristan directly this time. The boy obviously had a decent amount of experience to do a bit of fighting on a floor like this, though she couldn't be sure of everything he knew.
Turning around as she walked, she began to explain a first tips. When you're exploring a series of rooms for instance, I usually stop moving and close my eyes to try and sense the direction in which the shadows are. If you focus well enough, you can usually get a good idea of how strong they are, a fairly accurate location, and even the direction in which they're moving if you're lucky. Naturally, this strategy works just about anywhere you might be exploring. Luka stopped at a doorway leading to the next room for a moment. She was using her senses that she had just spoken of now. Part of it was a demonstration while the other half was simply to locate their next target.
With a deep breathe, the girl continued moving. She had only stopped for a few seconds. There seems to be three to five shadows over to our left. They don't seem to be going anywhere in particular. They just seem to be idling around in that room. Their strength doesn't seem to be as big as the previous group. In fact, we could likely storm in that room and wipe them all out with all of our attacks going in at once. Heading over to the door leading to the group of shadows, Luka stopped just before to let everyone get into position.

Realizing that if they were to keep going then Tristan would slow them down, it appeared the other two decided to just stay here. With a sigh, Tristan listened to Luka's explanation on how to sense shadows. He kept the information in mind for future use, then tried it out. The shadows were strong. They weren't near as strong as the welcome party, but they were on par with the average enemies that Tristan had faced recently.
He watched as Luka approached the door. He understood that teamwork was key, so he got in position behind her. He then considered a moment, and came up with his best use. "You guys both use dark attacks, right? If that's the case, then my best attack to use would be my light spell. I'm not sure about what you two have encountered, but in my experience it's rare for enemies to resist two opposite elements."
with that said, Tristan summoned his Persona. he then readied the djinn to fire off a light spell into the room as soon as the door was opened.
Then came the part that Vice liked right next to the battle stage. Planning was such a great thing, being able to come up with tactics and stratagems that could work in a whole lot of different scenarios. Like this instance for one. Getting into position, coming up with a plan of engagement, and basically all the good stuff that just makes a battle as fun as it can be. For the biker at least.
Going in half cocked was never that fun anyway.
Nodding in accordance to the plan of action that seemed to be being passed around right now, Vice brought his persona to the forefront of his mind before double checking if the door would open towards the room or away from it. A smirk. Looks like he'll be able to do something fun. Moving a bit more across the door, Vice chanced a look on both of his teammates to make sure they were ready. "I'll go in and disrupt whatever it is they may be doing, then you guys come in and blast everything to hell." Readying himself for the charge, and picking out his favourite skill from what Arondight had in his move pool, Vice began.
"On my signal."
Said signal was him smashing the door open, making as much noise as possible with it, and giving himself a split second to note the enemies within the area. Four of them, all of them the Gigas type though had their own little accessories to differentiate themselves from one another. Didn't matter though as the Fallen Emperor appeared along with Vice as a Megidolaon was shoved in the middle of the room, blasting everything in its wake. It was enough to cause all of them to be bewildered from the attack along with getting disoriented from what the hell just happened to them. That should be enough for the two to pick off their targets.

As she waited for everyone to get into position, Luka began to charge up for her next attack. As she was doing so, Vice decided to go about things his own way. He would be charging in with her and Tristan coming in after. It was similar enough to what she had planned, so she had no complaints.
As he kicked the door down, she moved inward, spotting the enemies in the room. There were four of them with two rather close together. With some quick thinking, the girl figured she could take the two of them out with one shot since they were within a small radius of each other. Will Hel at her side, the girl called down a strong blast of dark energy on their location, blasting them away completely. That would leave two more for Tristan to take care of, unless there was enough time for her to turn around and drop another attack on one of the enemies. Either way, the storming had already been a success. The remaining two shadows wouldn't be able to stand for more than a few seconds. This was likely the upside to a full offensive team. If everything could attack all at once before the enemy, they could potentially blow everything away before it even noticed.
