[closed] This battle has burned me up!

Who: Sora & Axel
When: August 12, late evening
Where: Insert random Japanese neighbor where the prayer stuff happens
What: Prayer #7, some ayakashi butt kicking, testing a wicked fire keyblade, dudes being bros, maybe blowing stuff up who knows
Warnings: TBA


[As planned, Sora was waiting for Axel to be finished his work day so they could get out and do some testing of Axel’s vessel form. The last and only time that he had used Axel was at the beach barbeque a little over a month ago.

He’d been itching for the chance to use the keyblade again and to see what it could really do. That and possibly see what would happen if he tried to summon his actual keyblade while still holding Axel’s keyblade. Would it work like duel wielding? Who knew? Either way, without Goofy around, having a pseudo-valor form would be pretty neato.

Sora was also pretty curious why his firaga was a ton stronger when Axel was in his vessel form too. Either way tonight they would be bringing the heat. (Ha ha ha.)

Sora can be found standing ontop of a fencepost in the nearby neighborhood. He yawns a little bit. Not really tired, but more just bored waiting around. Axel should be along soon though.]

[There's a difference between being a weapon that somebody really knows how to use and being one that the god's kind of uncertain with, and Axel's starting to notice the distinction. Sora and Keyblades? Yeah, he seems to have it down.

The anticipation of a good fight blazes up in him as he considers the giant ayakashi. It's kind of animalistic, isn't it? Big and fierce, but it's not one of those obnoxious kinds with the legs all over and too many eyes.]


Hey, see if you can set its tail on fire! That'll distract it, and we can catch it in the flank.
doestheickyjobs: (99 problems)

Yeah, I guess so! Too bad about that house over there. Think we can say there was a gas leak?

[That's totally a valid reason for fireballs to go flying around a quiet neighborhood in the middle of the night, right? Right. Axel focuses back on the raccoon ayakashi, ready for its next move.]

Guess that's my power for you, huh.

Good thing you already know how to use Firagas.
doestheickyjobs: (watch me burn)

Donald. Friend of yours?

[The raccoon ayakashi shrieks as Sora's two keyblades batter its sickly glowing fur. Axel laughs soundlessly -- okay, so he's not a Keyblade wielder himself; being a Keyblade, though, is nearly as cool. He could get used to this.

At the final blow of the combo, the raccoon recoils backwards, half-falling against the hole blown in the pavement before it shrieks again. This sound sounds like glass bottles pouring from a garbage can: clashing, clinking cacophany before the creature leaps to balance precariously on the damaged roof of the nearby house. It hulks against the dimly lit clouds, as big as a second story all on its own, and the house emits a dangerous creak.]


--Later! Get that thing, quick!

[Axel hits the ayakashi with stunning force, and it wailed like a siren again as the impact blew it backwards off the roof. It struck the street, sending crazed lines radiating out through the asphalt, and collapsed there in a stunned heap.

A fine vibration runs through Axel's Keyblade form as he almost jolts Sora forward after the thing. It's weak, it's down: one solid blow to it in this condition will be the last.]
doestheickyjobs: sidelong smiling glance (long ago and far away)

Good job, kid!

[Axel weaves his fingers together and stretches both arms up over his head, rocking onto his toes briefly. Man, fighting as a weapon always leaves him weirdly tense.]

I should've known you'd know what to do with a Keyblade, huh?

[He gives Sora a friendly grin, letting his hands fall back to his sides.]

Hope it will! There can't be more than one of those things around, right?
doestheickyjobs: (noooooo way.)

[personal profile] doestheickyjobs 2016-08-27 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe so--

[There's another siren in the distance, sounding like it's headed this way. Axel pauses mid-sentence.]

-- Okay, I think someone heard about it.

[The siren is definitely getting closer now. He clears his throat.]

That's not a noisy ghost out there! C'mon, Sora, let's clear out before the police show.

[They probably won't even notice Sora and Axel hanging around the damaged area, but on the other hand, if they do, it could get awkward real quick.]
doestheickyjobs: (lecture time!)

[personal profile] doestheickyjobs 2016-08-28 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, we solved their problem! They can handle cleanup, right?

[Axel smirks as the nighttime street dissolves around them.]
