KAIJU FIGHT #6
KAIJU FIGHT #6
โถ 001. SOMETHING IN THE SEA (KAGOSHIMA.)
It takes time to traverse the difficult terrain and fend off the corrupt wildlife but eventually, Redemption and Brimstone will arrive at the Ohsumi, where they will be sent coordinates to travel towards Sakurajima. There, they will find a very thin strip of land that forms a sandy and rocky path towards the island. They will be advised to wait until low tide when the path is easiest to cross.
Fortunately, as they wait, they will be largely undisturbed. The poison here is significantly more concentrated and any wildlife that lingers too long suffocates. For safety, Outsiders must continue wearing their protective suits to avoid the same fate.
Finally, the tide begins to recede and gives way to a rough and rocky path towards Sakurajima. The ground is hard and difficult to traverse; some parts are slippery with water. As they cross, a great tremor starts and the waters around them become turbulent. There isn't much to hold onto, but they're at high risk of falling into the sea especially when the land begins to rise.
When the tremors stop, there's a loud, hissing roar. The Outsiders will find themselves on the back of a giant turtle that is disguising itself as a small island. It appears this kaiju is the cause for the rift energy on this side of Japan.
Outsiders will be instructed to use water as their advantage as the creature uses fire and magma abilities. Electric attacks will weaken it, but the key is to tear off its shell from its body. Outsiders will be instructed to try this tactic, and after everyone's effort, the Gigakame will be defeated.

โ โ โ MONSTER DEBRIEF SHEETThe Outsiders will have to cut off all energy supplies to stop feeding the newly named Yamadenki and then defeat them.
NAME: Gigakame
HEIGHT: ???
WEIGHT: ???
CLASS: Extremely Dangerous
LOCATION: Kagoshima, Japan
ABILITIES: Breathes toxic gas, inner core is hot with magma, spits fire.
WEAKNESSES: Electricity, destroying and separating the turtle from its shell, filling the core with water.
EXTRA NOTES: This is a kaiju that has never been documented by LILITH before -- not much information can be provided. However, just like normal turtles, it uses its shell as a shield for defense and can be weakened if the shell is destroyed and torn from its body.

โถ 002. KAGOSHIMA AFTERMATH.
The Gigakame washes up on shore dead. The bizarre weather begins to normalize, but the poisonous miasma still lingers. Outsiders disembark to Kagoshima's base to depart and assist their other team mates.
Thanks to the clear weather, it's much easier to return to Kagoshima's research base. There, the researchers reveal they have a few emergency teleporters which are only allowed to be used during an emergency. Presumably, there are just enough to evacuate the researchers, but unfortunately, there are more Outsiders. The staff admit they probably won't have enough power to warp everyone safely; they guarantee that the first handful to go through will arrive in Tokyo with minimal issue, but the more they push their machines, the worse the side effects they'll suffer.
Redemption and Brimstone must decide who to send forward first to assist. Either way, everyone on both teams will be successfully teleported to Neo Tokyo, though those who have drawn the shorter straw (literally or figuratively) will suffer more sickness than those who teleported sooner rather than later.

โถ 003. SOMETHING IN THE SKY (TOKYO.)
While a huge sigh of relief sweeps the country when the kaiju in Kagoshima is defeated, thereโs no actual time to relax. Outsiders will be ushered to go through the makeshift portals and/or are encouraged to find other means of arriving at the outskirts of Tokyo immediately. The Imugi has been spotted, and time cannot be wasted-- this is due to the influx of rift energy that is surrounding the city of Tokyo. While LILITH did complete the basic evacuation measures for the citizens of Neo Tokyo, thereโs still an ominous air around the city and itโs not just from the rift poisoning, either. With small rifts cropping up here and there within the city, appearing and disappearing, the LILITH base is the most likely target for the Imugi.
While the hatchlings were moved to different facilities for safekeeping and monitoring, the Imugi seems largely uninterested in chasing them at present. The Imugi is resolved in its movements, and no amount of mimicking the hatchlings' vital readings can sway the Imugi off its intended path. As expected, within three hours of the initial fluctuations in rift energy, the Imugi appears at the emptied base. Similar to its behavior in Seoul, it sweeps over the base erratically, almost as if enraged. Its state is a direct mirror of how it appeared when avenging its mate, and it seems this is just the start.
Utilizing the insurmountable amount of rift energy it has built up around Tokyo, it eventually releases a deafening sound that causes the hatchlings to react, drawn to their mother. They make their way through the rifts, traveling through them at her beckoning, only to end up at the basement of the base. Just like that, the Imugi sinks its large claws through the roof of the structure and destroys not just the base, but also its young.
The energy produced by this creates a devastating explosion that destroys parts of the base and some of the surrounding area. While there were limited casualties due to the evacuation efforts, the area is now heavy with rift poisoning and the Imugi has every intention of destroying the city. It becomes clear that it did not desire to chase its young, but to use them to exact revenge.

โถ 004. TOKYO AFTERMATH.
The storms increase in intensity as the Imugi circles around the sky of Neo Tokyo. Fortunately, its ire still appears to be largely focused on the area around the base, and so the torrential downpour and lightning only seems to reach around this immediate area. LILITH tries to keep this space contained, attempting to work on stabilizing some of the rifts in order to cut off the Imugiโs potential escape routes. In the meantime, they will offer Outsiders as many resources as necessary to remain in the fight. They will send in supplies occasionally, including their specialized energy drinks and medical equipment. The new injections they drop off are able to heal light wounds and minor injuries, which can be administered quickly on the field. They anticipate this to be a long battle and advise Outsiders to pace themselves and work together.
By the latter half of the battle, all Outsiders should be accounted for in the final fight.
As expected, the battle lasts for over half a day and with the rift energy dwindling, the Imugi appears to be weakened. In fact, the Imugi has shrunk down to its original size prior to Seoul. Feeling its life is at risk, it uses the last of its energy to flee to the foot of Mt. Fuji. Fortunately, it doesnโt make it to the summit, and the Outsiders will be able to make quick work in pursuing it. For those that require it, ground vehicles and planes will be provided accordingly. Let's make sure it doesn't get away!
Upon arrival, they will see the final battlefront isnโt nearly that dramatic. The Imugi is significantly weakened, barely staving off attacks. Instead, it seems to focus on consolidating energy into its core while thrashing about. Eventually, a killing blow will be delivered but even then, it doesn't die easily. Similar to its young that were sacrificed, it appears to be using its own body to summon a final rift. Unfortunately, it cannot be stopped. Outsiders will be advised to temporarily retreat, after seeing the destruction that its young can do. The Imugi's body glows, increasing in intensity as it continues to gather energy. This is the warning to retreat. Within a matter of minutes, it self destructs, and a new rift is seen in its place. All Outsiders and LILITH are safe. The researchers immediately alert the area to be closed off for inspection.
Upon preliminary examination of this rift, they find that not only did it level a good portion of Mt. Fuji, but the power from it is unparalleled. Unlike the rifts theyโve encountered in prior battles, including their most recent venture in Transylvania, they discover this rift cannot be closed. What could this mean?
โ โ โ MONSTER DEBRIEF SHEET
NAME: IMUGI โ
HEIGHT: 1000 feet across, 30 feet high
WEIGHT: 2000kg
CLASS: Extremely Dangerous
LOCATION: Neo Tokyo, Japan
ABILITIES: Control over weather conditions, including summoning of heavy storms, lightning strikes and hurricanes. Can fly up to 1000 feet. By flying amongst the clouds, Imugi releases chemicals into the atmosphere that bring about acid rain. Armored scales, sharp teeth and claws.
WEAKNESSES: Piercing it in the gaps between its impenetrable scales. There is also a particularly weak spot under on it's neck that will deal significant damage if pierced.
EXTRA NOTES: From its initial appearance and behavior, specialists believe that this female Imugi confirmed to be the mother of the hatchlings. This appears to be the female counterpart to the kaiju in Seoul that was killed by the Outsiders after causing havoc on South Korea. Despite them both being the same type of kaiju, likely derived from the same rift, this kaiju seems slightly more agile and openly aggressive.
By the latter half of the battle, all Outsiders should be accounted for in the final fight.

โถ 005. RE-GROUP.
With parts of the base destroyed and Neo Tokyo undergoing cleanup from the aftermath of the battle, Outsiders will be advised to take a break in the underground bunkers between Mt. Fuji and the city outskirts. As part of Mr. Fuji was also destroyed, some of the bunkers arenโt accessible, but Outsiders will find it is an entire maze of a city beneath the surface. If one traverses far enough, they will find it even connects to the amusement park that they saved last year. Exploration aside, Outsiders will be provided medical assistance and anything else required, and LILITH staff that are on hand will remain devoted to getting things back on track.
In the meantime, Outsiders can utilize whatever supplies are available and use the rooms at the Kyoto base freely. Each room contains anywhere from 2-4 beds, and everyone will be encouraged not to be alone in case of another emergency, especially as the rift remains open at the base of Mt. Fuji. These rooms are set up like traditional houses rather than a flashy base, with sliding doors and tatami mats. Floor futons will be used instead of Western style beds. There is one communal and traditional bath house for all sexes to use, a makeshift medical area, and an underground market that have several restaurants... but the food options and quality of amenities are questionable. They are mostly run by gritty characters or A.I robots.
As the portal between Kyoto and Neo Tokyo is still active, for those who are still able to, they will be advised to assist in retrieving any Imugi parts that remain from the scuffle. While its main body is being contained and promptly dealt with by LILITH, there are parts and scales scattered around Neo Tokyo and the old base. All parts are to be bagged, marked, and returned to LILITH. It's hard to say just how much of LILITH's base was destroyed and Eiji Shiro along with Captain Yamakawa are evaluating the state of the base before sharing a detailed report of the destruction. Stay tuned until February 25th for a follow up post.

โถ 006. AFTERWORD.
Welcome to our sixth kaiju battle, and it's a double whammy!
There are two kaiju to attack this time. Please read the instructions at each header about how to play. Remember, you only have to fill out your attack information once and we will RNG a HIT or MISS result two times per character.
It is highly likely that if your character did not pack certain belongings with them that they could be amongst the rubble of the base. The state of the base will be explained in a follow up post on February 25th, but fret not, you may assume whatever items are still in tact and operational and can be retrieved shortly. If you'd like for items to be perished and destroyed, be our guest!
All tags on this log are worth 2 points and will count towards February AC.

EVENT BREAKDOWN/RECAP (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. SOMETHING IN THE SEA (KAGOSHIMA): Teams Redemption and Brimstone arrive at the Ohsumi to receive coordinates to Sakurajima, where they must wait until low tide to cross. The poison in the area is significantly concentrated; Outsiders are advised to wear their suits to avoid suffocating like the rest of the wildlife. Once they are able to cross, they discover that the land they are on is not an island, but a giant turtle kaiju responsible for the influx of rift energy on this side of Japan. Outsiders will be instructed to use water against the kaiju and try to separate the shell from the body.
2. KAGOSHIMA AFTERMATH: After defeating the Gigakame, Outsiders will be instructed to join their other teammates in Tokyo via emergency teleporters located at the Kagoshima research base. There is a limited amount of power to warp everyone safely, and Outsiders must decide who to send through the teleporter first. Eventually both teams will safely arrive in Neo Tokyo, but those who have gone through the teleporter later may suffer more side effects.
3. SOMETHING IN THE SKY (TOKYO): The Imugi has been spotted in Tokyo with a large influx of rift energy and has its sights set on destroying the LILITH base. Although the hatchlings were moved to different facilities, they are inevitably drawn to their mother and travel through rifts to the empty Tokyo base; however, instead of a reunion, the hatchlings sacrifice themselves and the ensuing explosion destroys parts of the base and the surrounding area.
4. TOKYO AFTERMATH: The rematch with the Imugi and the Outsiders begin, with LILITH working on stabilizing rifts to cut off the Imugi's escape and sending in supplies in the form of energy drinks and new medical equipment. The battle lasts for over half a day, with the Imugi attempting to escape to Mt. Fuji, weakened to the point where it can't reach the summit. Outsiders are advised to retreat as the Imugi self-destructs and creates a new rift, one that can't be closed.
5. RE-GROUP: With parts of the base destroyed, Outsiders will temporarily stay in the underground bunkers between Mt. Fuji and the city outskirts. While Outsiders are provided medical assistance and anything else required, LILITH staff that are on hand will remain devoted to getting things back on track. Outsiders are welcome to help themselves to the limited amenities and room with others; however, sharing is encouraged and the food options are questionable. As the portal between Kyoto and Neo Tokyo is still active, some Outsiders may be asked to assist in retrieving Imugi parts. At this time, Eiji Shiro and Captain Yamakawa will assess the damage on the base before sharing a detailed report at a later time.
Vergilius | Limbus Company
[It's not every day you find yourself on the back of a giant kaiju - but Vergilius seems to hold his ground regardless. In the City, Abnormalities of this size were far from abnormal, and there's a part of him that wonders if a certain old man of the sea would be interested in such quarry.]
[But the Indigo Elder isn't here, and so, he must take on the task of bringing this thing down. Easier said than done. A few jabs here and there seem to be fine, but...the mantle is hard to break.]
[And so, Vergilius will gain his own mantle. Blood from the kaiju and whatever has spilled from his fellow fighters seems to tremble and pool together, zooming towards the old man's shoulders to spill over into a blood-red cowl. A laurel blooms over his forehead, sprouting thorns, as his vivid red eyes spill over in bloody streaks that stain down his face like tears. The weight of his new appearance can practically be felt in the air, the metal scent of it enough to singe the nose and throat.]
[And so, he goes into battle, his strikes heavier, mightier, with blood splattering as he moves forward to try to find a place on this beast to strike. Anyone around, he's just going to aim a heavy stare at them, muttering:]
Try not to get hurt around me. I'll use it up. Your blood, I mean.
[Well. Well! Are you going to listen to the man?]
2. CLOSING TIME
[After the kaijus go down, and the fate of the base is more than evident, Vergilius can be found wandering through the wreckage. What he sees brings back....certain memories. A long while ago, he, too, came across a familiar place and found it in ruin.]
[He's found a few things of his own, gathered in a small paper bag, but it seems he's plucked another thing out of the debris, held aloft to who is nearby.]
....Is this yours?
[He's offering some kind of object - maybe it belongs to you, maybe it doesn't. Either way, it seems he needs the distraction.]
3. WILDCARD
[Want this old guide in your life with a different prompt or scenario? Please throw anything at me, and/or plot with me at plurk @ vampirize or discord @ fridayivy!]
1+3 :}
Well? Is he?
He's crouched low to the back of the creature, somewhere in the middle, where he can try to stay on and not die โ which is a bare minimum perhaps โ but he has little to do in this. He slipped Tezca a glowing shimmering vial at some point, but other than trying once to stab a dagger into the shell as confirmation of it being too hard to do anything with, he's on one knee, just... Letting the rest of you all do your thing.
But at some point Vergilius is closer to him than others, and he almost doesn't hear him. He looks him up and down, watching the drops of blood trail off of him like it really is blood โ but it's more than that, isn't it?
Silco has always had an appreciation for power, and he didn't need preternatural senses to know that this was power in raw form, the rawest there was, in fact. He sniffed, the air is heavy with the smell of blood. Like โ ]
Full of surprises, aren't you?
[ He says, and maybe he hadn't heard the comment, because he says nothing about it, but Silco looks to be free of any cuts or scrapes anyway. Predictably, he lets others do all the fighting, while he hangs back. He starts to straighten, his eyes trailing from Vergilius, to everyone around them, and then back to him. ]
Anything else I should know?
[ About this? About him? He doesn't clarify, but Silco already has questions he wants to see answered, for he is always greedy, but he figures either Vergilius will indulge him now, or...
Well. He will find out for himself. His fingers still stay wrapped around the weapon he's holding, as if the knife (larger, and more wicked than his small one Vergilius has already been acquainted with) he holds in a reverse guard will help defend him from the occasional fire the creature expels toward its back. ]
no subject
[The creature shifts in place, but Vergilius only shifts along with it, thrusting his now blood-covered gladius into a crack to stay stable. The blood continues to slide down his cheeks as his vivid eyes behold Silco. Silco, who has to stick to the shadows.]
[And yet, his eyes always find him, no matter what.]
Don't stand in my way.
[And with that, he's pulling the sword out to slam down on the same crack from before - and it sends a definite tremor as the crack expands. The creature bellows in sheer pain.]
That's all.
no subject
That's all? Yes, as if I would stop you from killing this thing?
[ He asks, but it's with a bite, annoyance while he has to struggle to stay on, though as he reaches down to try to grasp one of the sharp growths to hold on, the surface sharp enough that it sliced open his palm, even as he gripped it as hard as he could to hold on.
He hissed out a breath, blood dribbled and smeared over the sharp growth on its shell. ]
Could you also use that to stop it from thrashing?
[ He complains. ]
no subject
[Hence he has to say it. It's also his way of protecting him, keeping him from real danger, though he would be loathe to truly acknowledge it.]
[But it seems the sentiment comes too little too late - the blood pools on Silco's hand, before it floats to Vergilius as if to a magnet to become a part of his bloody cowl.]
[Vergilius hisses, displeased, even as his EGO flares with more power.]
I'll do my best if you stop being annoying.
[And he's raising a leg to fully encase it in blood and smash it directly through a shell scale, splintering it into pieces.]
I won't save you if I bleed you out.
no subject
[ A wave of that bloodied hand, as if it hadn't even occurred to him. Perhaps some people would, but Silco... Silco thought of such things โ protection โ and it made his hackles rise, a prick of nervous energy that made his eyes slide towards his face, seeking out his eyes amid the chaos. There is no such thing as protection. Even while he absorbs his blood, it flares up, and Silco can assume it makes it... better. Is it stronger like that? It must be, from taking the blood.
Isn't it funny, then, that he'd turned him into a vampire? What would it have been like, if he had used this, while consuming blood? Or perhaps that's one of the reasons he hated it so much? As if it hadn't been because Silco had sought this monster before him.
He watches the blood drip, watches him slam his leg into the shell, his gaze is greedy, as he watches him. Silco had never pretended to be anything other than what he was, and that was greedy, for power. He may also be considering stepping in...
Vergilius is correct, to worry about him causing problems.
When did Silco do anything but? Especially when Vergilius is involved. ]
Does any blood make you more powerful? [ His eyes dart downward. ] Like this thing?
[ He might not actually be thinking about the creature. ]
no subject
[He shakes his head - his eyes are like candles, burning as they pore into Silco. He may be closer to the man, closer than anyone has the right to be, but even he doesn't want for this man to push his fingers underneath his skin if he has to.]
Yes and no. Blood...keeps this EGO going. If I...don't have blood that was spilled, then it'll use mine.
[And he, as a man, only has so much. He'll let that implication speak for itself.]
no subject
And power was something he respected, something he always hungered for. Silco's nature was a constant, like his greed.
His eyes don't leave him, once he starts to answer. He should, but he can't look away now. ]
And yet you're telling me not to spill any of mine? [ A twitch of his lips. ] It sounds like you should be trying to drain me dry, unless you find more blood.
[ He shouldn't encourage that, but there's a little tease for you, Vergilius. The creature stops thrashing, and he straightens, his eyes never waver. Instead of asking another question, he steps closer, instead. Daring him to stop him. ]
no subject
[His wrist flicks - and that sword, with blood billowing around it like red ribbons, is held aloft at the other's chest. The point of it presses a little against the other's vest, above his heart.]
[His eyes flare, a warning.]
Would you like me to? Only say the word.

Moving toward him and regarding the item being held out for inspection, he shakes his head. "No, I didn't have many things to keep care of." He relates as he starts moving larger pieces. "Have you found many of your things?"
no subject
Well, it was worth an ask, he thinks, even as he now awkwardly has to decide what to do about the object. As he considers, the follow-up question draws his attention, and he shakes his head.
"Not everything. But some things. At least....some things."
no subject
no subject
Comes the non-committal reply as quickly as he says it, dismissive.
"You can, if you want. I'm not the type to arrange....stuff like that."
Not that he's against it, no - but he feels ill-fitted for it. He's not some grand savior of items. And yet here he is, holding something he found.
no subject
"I don't mind arranging it, anything you find I can help move to the place I can find if you'd like?"
no subject
Another lapse into silence, before he decides to change the topic - perhaps not wanting to go deeper to reveal how he really feels about all this.
"Did you find...all your things?

[ it's got a strong earthy scent to it, the same vergilius will recognize from when he was a vampire. if the scent even permeates vergilius's nose, with all the blood he has surrounding him ]
[ hunter, from where he's nearby on flapjack in staff form, frowns in concern ]
Is that... your blood? There's so much of it.
[ like. is he okay?? ]
no subject
[He wants to come closer, try to help him, but he can't - the fluid beads up on Hunter's side, flying towards the blood mantle to become a part of its tapestry.]
Not...all of it is mine. [He shakes his head.] Hunter...please. Stay back.
no subject
What is this? What--- What are you doing?
[ why so much blood? ]

Kabru could not afford to be distracted in this battle, but he does spare a longer glance than he needs to, curious about the other man's magic. ]
I'll try... [ Even with the newfound strength of his prosthetic arm, he still isn't as strong as a lot of the others, so he can't promise that. ]
It's fortunate you didn't show this to me while I still had the vampiric disease.
takes the low hanging fruit im so sorry
Really now. Would you have sucked me off?
[don't
say it like that please]
help 1/2
for longer than a few seconds. In fact, he stumbles when the turtle jolts beneath them. ]
no subject
Ah, no, I know how to control myself! [ Now he goes back to stabbing his sword into that stupid, tough shell. ]
no subject
[But he gets it...sometimes you were turned into a vampire and find that people are looking delicious...ready to be sucked off...................]
[Okay, no, he won't dwell on his own unfortunate phrasing or Kabru's flustered reply (though its kind of cute).]
Do you have magic or anything of the like, Kabru?
