Susano'o, Selfies, and the Subjugation of Heaven

As he'd revealed in his 3 AM BBS post, Sho has a variety of fascinating ayakashi that he wants to share with the world. By noon, several large heaps located in various parts of Heaven have caught on fire and there is a massive outpouring of taboo ayakashi.

Concentrated primarily near the Meeting Hall and Susano'o's junk heap of a temple, these ayakashi attack shinki and gods on sight. They're vicious, powerful, and the only way to defeat them is the power of teamwork.

At 2 PM, Joshua will be providing some helpful tips. Meanwhile, Sho will be teleport-spamming throughout Heaven. Feel free to text him, but he'll stop answering right around the time Bishamon and Hajime start to catch up to him. (Picowatt will be helping out from there on!)

Save Heaven 2K16? (Details here!)

Boss Fight: Seiten Taisei and the Neoclassical Drakes

It's the zero hour, exactly 43,200 seconds since he posted his warning to the BBS when Sho decides to change the game. Heaven has rallied against him, gods and shinki alike, and it's time to pull out the big guns.

In the air above the Meeting Hall, he unleashes thirteen Neoclassical Drakes before releasing Seiten Taisei.

And, suddenly, it's entrails everywhere.

Post-Battle Spring Cleaning

Well, the day is saved, but there's a metric ton left to do. The mass slaughter left a bit of a bloody mess, and Susano'o has shrines on the Near Shore covered in graffiti that can turn any stray ayakashi into the taboo sort. Weird and corrupt magics all over the place, some of which are on fire. His junkyard temple is burning merrily, and there are still some stray taboo ayakashi to put down.

Anyone ready for Spring Cleaning 2.0? Grab a mop.

I'm not made of glass...

[Technically he's made of paperboard and darkness at the moment, but that's beside the point. He shuffles around the next couple cards--6, 3, 5, 3; not the best numbers, but he's partly distracted by looking for a better opening to alert Sora to.]

[The drake roars loudly and takes a swipe at Roxas, in what Sora assumes is an attempt to stop him from attacking so much. But at the exact same time the drake’s tail swipes at him and Sora is forced to take a leap backwards and away from the drake to keep his footing.]

Ack--! I know you aren’t but this thing… It’s not a normal ayakashi!

[He can feel it, the drake is stronger. Different. Whatever the heck Sho did, it’s serious. And Roxas going ham is starting to concern him.]

I’ve… I gotta call Axel. He can’t keep using Raichi like that he’s gonna get hurt!

[With that, Sora pulls his phone to call Axel and summon him.]

Hey, we need you really bad right now, I sure hope you’re not busy!

[Axel's voice on the other end of the phone is breathless, as if he's running.] Lucky you! I've got a minute right now!

Things are getting pretty crazy around here -- where are you, anyway?

[Better run quick. Roxas gets knocked back badly, but he rolls with the hit and gets right back up. A little worse for wear, he's going to go back to attacking.

Unfortunately one of his hits miss, the bat hitting the ground hard enough to jump back, smacking the blond rather hard in the face. Somehow he keeps a hold of the bat despite being stunned. It doesn't last long and he jumps right back into the fray. What's a little blood and something possibly being broken when there's an enemy in front of you!]

[Sora what the hell don't get on your phone mid-battle.]

I know it's not--Sora, what are you doing? He's doing fi--oh.

[Nevermind, he seems to have punched himself in the face with the bat. Thaat's a broken nose for the best possible scenario.]

[Sora smacks his palm to his forehead when Roxas…breaks his face… and doesn’t even stop for that. He settles the phone back at his ear.]

No, he’s really not doing fine! Axel, we’re near the main hall, get your butt down here right now! Roxas is using Raichi and I don’t know how to stop him! I think it’s better if he uses you instead! We’ve got this giant drake to take care of! Hurry!

[In the meantime, Sora hangs up and shoves his phone away and grips Riku’s sword form. The drake screeches loudly and goes on the defensive against Roxas’ swings. Sora runs in with a leap and attacks the drake with a combo and follows up with a Guard Break. The creature reels back a few steps and Sora takes this time to jump at Roxas, going to grab the bat as fast as he can. He had to get that bat out of his hand before he did any more damage to himself.]

[Luckily, Axel's not far. He stuffs his phone back into his pocket and takes off at a sprint. Big drakes are real hard to miss, so even if they're popping up left and right around the place, the screeching, flapping one being smacked with a baseball bat? That one draws the eye.

It's not more than thirty seconds before he pelts into view from around the corner of the hall, reaching out a hand and clenching it around the handle of a chakram that swirls into existence right next to him. He skids to a stop twenty yards from the two of them and hurls the chakram at the dragon, igniting it in flight with a thought.]

Over here, you big lizard! Sora, get Raichi away from him, hurry!

[Congrats, Sora, you just made yourself into a new target! Try and counter Roxas' speed as he takes a swing or several at you.

Drake be damned, this smaller enemy needs to be taken out first. No matter what. It's getting in the way of the bigger opponent. JUST KEEP SMASHING AND YOU'LL GET IT!

Sora might want to retreat or find a way to make Roxas focus on the big guy again.]

[Roxas is too fast and too berserk-y for him to immediately stop him and the baseball bat comes down hard on Sora's shoulder with a painful crack. Sora yells and winces hard.

He had to do something quick while Axel bought them some time.]

You better shuffle a healing card quick, Riku-

[In the meantime, Sora bursts into Limit Form with a flash and uses Stun Impact to stun Roxas. It isn't a damaging ability but one that momentarily stuns. If it works he'll grab the bat from Roxas before his arm goes limp from the attack.]

[One good hit down, but not enough to take down the enemy. Just gotta keep going! Just gotta-

That thought is stopped dead in its tracks. Roxas isn't aware of what was going on till he realizes the bat wasn't in his hand anymore.]

Raichi- OW!

[He puts his hand over his nose with a hiss. He very gingerly moves it upwards to gauge the damage. Great. There's more pain along one side of his cheek and eye. Head feels the worst, it's all jumbled. When did this happen? Wait. What about the drake? He looks over his shoulder to see it was still there.]

We didn't beat it?

[Sorry, Sora. Give him a moment.]

[The raw, insatiable drive for victory that was seeping through both god and shinki so completely breaks off from Raichi as soon as the connection is lost, and the person that's left behind in the wake of his true name being called is probably just as stunned as Roxas is.]

Wha- [He himself isn't damaged from all of that, clearly, but it's pretty obvious that his own thoughts are totally scattered. But he does manage to immediately process the most important part of this - ] It's still standing!!

[Maybe not in as good of shape as when they started, but he was sort of expecting a different outcome than this...!]

[Axel dares a look over his shoulder at the yelled ow -- is that Roxas? Did he finally drop his shinki then? Good, took long enough.]

Hey! Sora! Hit him with a cure spell and come give me a hand -- oop! No you don't.

[He dodges to one side as the drake snaps at him, barely avoiding the massive dark teeth that clash together next to his arm. He'd hit the thing square on, and he sure has its attention right now.

That's not actually a good thing.]

I'm trying, gimme a few seconds!

[Healing card, healing card. Hope your wounds don't mind being healed with darkness, 'cause that's what you're going to get! He does managed to get two healing cards into the top part of the deck, but they're the third and fourth cards down. Sorry Sora.

They probably won't fix his shoulder if it's broken, though.]

[Sora winces again as the pain in his shoulder flares up pretty bad but he grits it back and gives Roxas a quick once over first, frowning at his swelling face.]

It’s not down yet, but- I think I’ve got a plan!

[Insert shounen protagonist smile. But first, healing was in order. He reaches up and casts Curaga on Roxas first, letting the warm green spell take effect. Then he quickly pulls three cards, hoping for something good. Attack, attack, heal. Alright, he could work with this.]

Roxas, call Axel! Let’s show this jerk whose boss! Each of us take a side and make it confused on who to pay attention to!

[Sora then takes off to take Axel’s place in the heat of the battle, shooting off the two attack cards and applying the heal to his shoulder as fast as he can. Keep those heal cards coming, Riku.]

[Once the Curaga hits, Roxas can actually breathe normally. He'll thank you later, Sora.]

Right! Hanki!

[With that taken care of and Axel's vessel form in hand, Roxas makes sure to summon one of his Keyblades. Dual-wielding is a perk they might just need in this fight.

He runs to the other side of the drake and begins his own barrage of attacks.]

You better have a useful power!

[That means you, Axel.]

There we go. Why don't we find out!

[This Keyblade is formed to slash and stab, with knife-sharp spikes on every point. The impact vibrates along Axel's -- bones? -- with each blow, but the drake's hide shreds under Roxas's attack.

And -- strangely -- it seems like the creature's jolting still for a few seconds on each impact. It's as if it's frozen.]

Hey, are you noticing that? The way it moves?
