Who: Axel the Accidental Ayakashi and you!
What: After a badly thought out conversation with Roxas, Axel succumbs to his memories and turns into a fiery ayakashi. (See the plotting post for details!)
Where: In a pretty park area in the Heavens, and rampaging around from there.
When: April 28, early afternoon
Warnings: Violence, character death, body horror

[A few hours after noon, a shriek spirals up into the still air of the Far Shore. Among the trees to one side of a path, purple limbs flail, backlit by a sullen lava glow, and something massive moves. The trees tremble.

Incoming.

Duck.]


(( This is an catchall mingle log for interactions with ayakashi!Axel and reactions! Axel will be tagging into the fight threads as well as the threads of anyone who asked for a quick interaction in the OOC log. ))

[Changing back was perhaps the worst idea he's had this entire fight. He coughs up the blood that remained in his mouth after biting off part of Axel's shoulder. His mouth and throat ache, and his chest feels like it's on fire.

He barely manages to dodge out of taking the brunt of the attack from the sweeping, spiked limbs. Saïx takes a blow to his side, the spikes tearing open large gashes and blighting him.

As soon as he's able, he casts the borderline, protecting both himself and Leo from further attacks from the ayakashi, as well as cutting into it.]

Hurry, let's rend him.

[Axel slams into the borderline, shuddering with the impact, and falls back with a frustrated snarl. He's wounded, and the two beyond the barrier --

Rend, they said, and something like recognition glimmers under the rage and hunger filling his mind. Recognition, and then fear.

They can destroy him. He's wounded and they can destroy him. Escape.

In a single smooth motion, despite his injuries, he turns and lunges, not forward, but down into the ground as though it were water. One of his spiked limbs describes a graceful arc behind him, and then disappears into the soil, too. Underground, safe, Axel runs.]

--dammit.

[Leo tries to go after the ayakashi but ends up just falling against Saix with another swear]

He got away, and we're in no condition to chase after him. Dammit!

[saikusu]

[Saïx forgot that the ability to speak with Leo without anyone else hearing only worked when he was in his vessel form. If only he hadn't spoken, they might have been able to end it.]

Sorry.

[He turns and faces Leo, the inside of his mouth darkened with blight. He sways and stumbles when he takes a step forward, but he manages to steady himself. Everything hurts and he can hardly think through the pain now that the adrenaline is gone.]

[brynwieldr]

Don't be, that one was intelligent--and we need to get to Forrest anyway.

[saikusu]

It was...

[He knows why the ayakashi was intelligent, but he's feeling so woozy from all the blood loss that he trails off, unable to finish his thought.]
