Like a (Boss)

[Stratum Boss]

With a roar the giant mechanical beast began to rapidly fall apart, revealing the shadow that made the mechanized monstrosity. Without a shell to keep its form, the shadow turned into a dark liquid pool leaving behind various salvageable items. Dat fat loot.Even though they'll only get considerably more powerful and intimidating that dwarfs a possessed train it has to count for something right? ...Right?

Luka: Electric Damage Mod

Akira: Fire Resistance Mod

Jonathan: Shield Chain (Auto-Rakukaja)

[Akira Nakajima]

Akira thrust his arms upward in that triumphant way children did when they accomplished something. He then looked to the boy and real girl. He nodded, enthusiastically, before proceeding towards the remains of the train, nudging at stuff the whole while. Imp was still casting Dia- that is, repeatedly trying to heal the other two. No telling how much damage they still had, right? Meanwhile, he plucked one of the things off the ground. Looked like one of those RPG modification objects. Like an armor mod, or something. It would be ridiculous if that was actually what it was.

. . . it was ridiculous that they just fought a train, so it must have been what it was.

”Raid complete! Good game, everyone!” Yes, the boy in drag just compared it to an MMORPG boss battle. As he began to turn, though, he felt a familiar, annoying, sensation cleave through his brain. One of his glorious fits was coming on. Fortunately, he was still in a salvageable motion. By hooking his foot around his ankle, he could trip himself. Doing just that, he went down to the gravelly floor of the tunnel, smacking his forehead upon it just a tad bit forcefully- you know, enough to break the skin. For a moment, he remained like that. Imp even went still. Then he quickly pushed himself up. He forced a blush- playing it off as an act of clumsiness. All the while, blood flowed from the new opening, making its way to the bridge of his nose and down the left side. Glasses, shockingly, were fine.

”. . . good game, guys. I'm just. . . gonna leave now. Bye-bye!” Contact information would have been good, but he'd honestly prefer to break away from the group for the time being. With the bigger threat gone, there was room for experimentation- research. Plus, he did have a persona to uphold. With that, the boy dashed away, Imp chasing after him with speed exceedingly unexpected for something with such short legs.

[Jonathon Montoya]

Jonathon watched the strange girl go. Something was off about her but he couldn't quite place a finger on it. Shrugging it off he went over and started to search the remains for anything useful. Finding an item that looked like it would attach to a piece of clothing or armor, along with some kind of chain, he picked them both up and weighed them both in his hands. He shoved the chain into his pocket, he could feel a power that might be useful was contained within it. He went over to the girl he had protected and held out the other item. "Here, you've earned this. I'm not sure what it does but I think you should have it. You were awesome, I doubt we could have beaten it if it weren't for you. I'm Jonathon by the way, see you around." He said, handing her the item and making his way out of the terminal.

[Luka Kurokawa]

Luka watched as the girl became rather excited at the defeat of the boss. All the while, her persona was busy healing her and the boy. What Luka didn't expect to see was the girl trip and fall. Was she alright? She got up fast enough, but the blood that began pouring from her head suggested otherwise. Before she could say anything though, the girl dashed away. She sighed, then noticed the boy that had protected her. He held out something to her, saying that she earned it. Though she wanted to refuse such a notion, it was probably better to simply accept this for now. She took the strange item and watched as the boy left. Before leaving, he mentioned his name being Jonathan; she would remember that. Now, she was all alone though and it was late. She had class in the morning as she recalled. Well, this would be fun. Getting up finally, the girl wandered back to her apartment.
