KAIJU FIGHT #9
BEYOND THE GATES (KAIJU FIGHT #9.)
ā¶ 001. GATE OF HEROES (FIFTH GATE OF THE UNDERWORLD.)
The Underworld halls and passages abruptly end in a massive cavern, filled with grinding vibrations of high tech engines and many thrusters firing in succession. Hovering in place amid the spacious chamber is a gigantic aerial stronghold primed with energized force fields above a dangerous chasm of pillars. Any Outsider who's spent time with Bakugo might recognize this as his hero academia transformed: U.A. - The Flying Fortress. The gate they need to access lies within.
Those who cannot fly or traverse the air freely must deal with the Pitfall grounds beneath U.A., a grouping of flat-topped spires linked together with ropes, wires, and cables. Trying to navigate them with the thrusters firing above is difficult enough, but some of the pillars are (visibly) booby-trapped with powerful landmines, combustive cursed energy blood, and mechanical explosives alike.
Passing through U.A.'s force field barely grazes the Outsiders who enter, as its goal isn't to keep people out but to utterly strip Outsiders of rift poisoning and debris. Like a purification filter, there will be no signs of rift poisoning within U.A.'s protective walls. Outsiders can take time to rest amid the campus' trees, dorms, pathways, and towering H-shaped school.
Don't rest too long. The sound of machines revving and metal crashing heralds an army of green-plated robots approaching. Red sensor eyes lock onto the Outsiders. U.A.'s fleet of Villain Bots are combat testing robots designed to create battle simulations, and they mean business. Wait, is that a white rabbit hopping around? Yep! Get too close, and they burst into a dark swirl of energy. And those roses blooming in the grass? Approach them and they erupt in a volley of nails.
With the chaff weeded out, the Outsiders can finally approach U.A.'s school proper and the two figures standing atop it. Explosions burst and flare, a threatening display around a hero's hands, while spectral blue flames ignite on a sorcerer's fists.
"Oi, you shitty extras! Making it all this way here just to die? Sucks to be you!"
"Hey, don't forget about me! I made a promise, didn't I?"
One of the Outsiders' strongest tag teams finally takes the stage.

ā¶ 002. GATE OF TRUTH (SIXTH GATE OF THE UNDERWORLD.)
Straight to the point, just like its Guardian, it's a short passageway to the next gate. When it opens up to their next trial, the area is brighter and smoother, the floor checker-patterned with black and white stone. It's essentially a huge chess board, and the Outsiders stand on one end of it.
The gate stands just beyond the opposite side, tall and imposing and so close. It looks like it's been carved out of steel with a simple design. In the center, a large hourglass is fixed on a rotator, the sand still at the bottom. It's blue-tinted, paneled, and vaguely familiar to some. The Gallu on the opposite side of the board wear different colored uniforms. Atop the gate is the Duel Blitz, its beam rifle in hand. Perched on its shoulder is Yzak himself, twisting his precious, bone-made black bishop chess piece between his fingers. He leans forward, sharp blue eyes staring the arrivals down as if sizing up prey.
"Come on over, then, if you have the capacity not to bullshit me."
The Gallu disappear.
"You're on a timer, too. So tick-tock, or else..."
He lifts his free hand at the Outsiders in a gun cocking motion, the Duel mirroring with its beam rifle. The hourglass begins to rotate and reset.
It's a simple walk across the floor. Some squares are fine, but others? One of the spirits springs up, grabs an Outsider's throat, and Yzak's voice echoes with a question. Honesty will cause the Gallu to crumble and Yzak will seem to reel mentally, clearly affected. Lie even a little and the Gallu can tell, inflicting something (rift effect/physical/player choice) as a punishment. The answer must be spoken out loud - to the spirit, to Yzak, to those around you.
Admit some hard truths about yourself, and you'll be rewarded by the hourglass turning again, stopping halfway into the rotation to leave an opening, allowing the Outsiders to proceed through the gate and advance.

ā¶ 003. GATE OF BOUNDARIES (SEVENTH GATE OF THE UNDERWORLD.)
(cw: suicide)
An unassuming and quaint hospital sits in your view. But it's quiet. Empty. There are no Cars and no personages on this solitary lot besides you. Should you choose to enter the double doOrs, the halls are just as still. It's as though everyone got up and left their stations exactly as they are.
This was not a drill.
Wander the rooms and you might run into your fellow "OUtsiders". You might run into a dead end. Travel up the floors and back down again. The longer you stay, the more youR nerves may fray. Look back whence the way you came and the door to the outside is gone, there's no escape.
Enjoy your sTay.
Wander and wander, wander and ponder, the flutter of a butterfly's wings over Yonder. The steady ticking of a nearby clock. The echo of your steps while you walk. For all the rooms and all the corners you might search, there's only one place that this gAtekeeper might find heR perch.
Once you riDdle out your destination, our cheerful winged friends become an infestation. Barring your path at every opportunity, poisoning your blight at a touch, from which even your gods have no immunity. The only remedy sits upon her gate—strange tail swishing, tears streaking, fangs bared, and inconsolable as of late.
"We HĢ“Ķ Ģ¢ave to diEĢµĢ½Ģ," she sighs, hoarse and cracked from an eternal cry. "It's the onLĢ“ĶĢy way. PĢµĶĶlease, let MĢ“ĢĢ¹EĢ“Ģ¾Ģ© kill you."
In a ruined white night gown, she drops from her gate and lands on all fours, succumbing to the intertwined fate. The whites of her eyes a luminescent yellow, voice shifting into a strange and distorted bellow.
With a lunge, red in her eyes, this battle for humanity has begun.

ā¶ 004. THE ABYSS (KAIJU BATTLE.)
Upon reaching the depths of Kƻr, outsiders are greeted by an empty seat made of rocks, ruined columns, and the rift where the waters of the abyss should be. Ereshkigal is already transformed and towering above the rift. Her voice is deeper than usual, colder and distant.
āI commend you for having come so far. But there is no hope for humanity. I shall put an end to your foolish hopes and keep your souls safe forevermore!ā
As seven ethereal spears appear around the corrupted goddess and shoot at the outsiders, Rin and Lucy open up the offensive — all while trying to call out to Ereshkigalās true nature. They are not alone in doing so, a number of other outsiders following them. Indeed, Hunter tries and reminds her that people care for her. It causes Ereshkigal to hesitate, allowing Kaga, Kadaj, Raleigh and Donatello to attack her.
Following sage advice, Archer takes a shot at praising Ereshkigal, which leaves her very confused — helping Yato who takes advantage of the opening to deal heavy damage. Aki summons a blizzard of cherry blossoms that lasts for the entire battle, lowering visibility. Ereshkigal is taken aback, her next attack missing Raidou as a result. Unfortunately, it also causes Asagami, Laios and Vergilius to miss some of their attacks. Furthermore, Vash, who has been corrupted, tries to stop his own comrades!
As the assault continues with Nanami, Leonardo and Yesod, Akakagiās paper shikigami leave the goddess burned, allowing for Murasama and Yuta to deal even more damage. And seeing how the praise worked once, Dearka and Gilgamesh do it again, but with a twist: they also insult her! This creates enough of an opening for Cagalli, Shinn, Harusama and Aventurine to attack. Tezcatlipocaās and Danteās words manage to get her to hesitate further, allowing Hunter to land a critical hit.
The battle takes its toll on the corrupted goddess and Outsiders alike, but suddenly a giant ethereal spear forms in her skeletal hand, twice her size and crackling with energy: her Noble Phantasm. She aims it at Geto, the blow shaking the foundation of the Underworld itself as she strikes. Anyone standing around him will be wounded or knocked out.
Ereshkigal pulls the spear back and prepares to pierce Taryon this time — but as he speaks and even apologizes for his perceived misdeed in allowing this to happen, the skeletal enemy freezes. After a moment of silence, the gigantic spear vanishes and Ereshkigalās beastly form explodes. The rift vanishes, revealing the dark waters of the abyss beneath it. Outsiders with good eyes may see Ereshkigal has returned to her normal form — unconscious, bloodied, yet no longer corrupted. Though she fell into the waters of the abyss, someone has leapt after her. But that is likely to be the least of anyoneās concerns for the ground starts trembling...
āI commend you for having come so far. But there is no hope for humanity. I shall put an end to your foolish hopes and keep your souls safe forevermore!ā

ā¶ 005. ESCAPE FROM THE UNDERWORLD.
With the riftās disappearance, the Sumerian Fever immediately ceases, though its after-effects may still be felt. Likewise the corruption no longer spreads, even though it may still take a while (or a good beating) for its effects to dissipate. Perhaps more importantly, the trembling intensifies, an earthquake rocking the entire Underworld and causing it to collapse!
Held together with magic from another world, there is nothing left to sustain it. First the cage with the souls disappear, followed by all the GallĆ» Spirits. Be careful not to miss a step while running back to the surface, or you may plummet and fall into the abyss. Collapsing platforms and paths may require jumping or finding creative ways to pass over them. Itās a bit of a rocky exit, especially while carrying the wounded and formerly corrupted outsiders, but it could be worseā¦
ā¦ Will it be worse?
On the way out, a collapsed wall reveals a previously unexplored room filled with all sorts of gems: emeralds, sapphires, diamonds and the like. Should anyone be tempted to take one (or more) of those gems, two ghouls will appear, each holding a clay tablet upon which the words āUSELESS GODDESSā are inscribed. The entities cackle and — oh, dear! The room starts collapsing on itself, better leave it immediately! And — wait, why is there a giant boulder rolling towards you now? Run! Are those arrows flying from the wall and lightning bolts striking the ground?
The escape has become a veritable adventure! Such is the fate of anyone activating the trap that was meant for this elusive āuseless goddessā Ereshkigal had been preparing for. And it is also the fate of everyone else really, since the trap doesnāt differentiate between thieves and innocent passersby just trying to escape impending doom.

ā¶ 006. AFTERMATH.
Dr. Masuda is waiting at the exit. Mere moments after the last Outsider has escaped, the tunnel crumbles and the path to the Underworld is forever sealed. Analysis tools reveal the inside of the cave has returned to the way it was before — as if the Underworld had never existed. However, any gems grabbed on the way out can be kept. The sole physical reminders of this adventure. That and any wounds that have been sustained, of course.
All of the disappeared Outsiders have been rescued and are (mostly) well, the corruption is gone and the Sumerian Fever is a distant memory. Communication has been reestablished with LILITH headquarters, and there is confirmation the staff is slowly recovering from this ordeal.
While Outsiders may be expecting a congratulations from the Commander, their oculars are oddly quiet as they had back to base. However, seemingly out of nowhere, SYNTHIA delivers a sudden message:

EVENT BREAKDOWN/RECAP (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. GATE OF HEROES: Bakugou & Yuji's gate, which consists of booby traps, pitfalls, villain robots and the corrupted teen tag team themselves, proves for a challenge to Outsiders.
2. GATE OF TRUTH: Yzak's gate is quite different, asking Outsiders a handful of questions (player's choice) that must be answered honestly to proceed.
3. GATE OF BOUNDARIES: Solve the riddle and fight the fight.
4. THE ABYSS: The results in full detail of Ereshkigal's battle.

6. AFTERMATH: The Outsiders make way back to Neo Tokyo, only to receive news that Commander Shiro has died.
@MONSTER
i do help out in the medbay, but i'm not technically part of the crew there and i can meet you wherever you prefer.
no subject
It's my left arm, if you need to know what to be prepared for. And hm, I guess my room? I'm in Redemption room 3.
no subject
i would be a pretty bad healer if i tried vivisecting my patients. (įµāį“ā)
[ "Left arm" could still be anything, but well. The vagueness says enough to prepare him for the worst. It's hard not to assume when multiple friends have lost their arms before and he's the cause for another loved one's loss of arm recently. ]
oh, back at the tokyo base?
i'll need to use a data portal, but i can be there in a bit.
no subject
[Yeah he is leaving out details here. Mostly because he doesn't need Leo seeing this and yelling at him for not getting proper medical care until now. Sure it's bandaged up, but it could be so much better.]
Yeah, back in Tokyo. It got to be too much of a hassle hopping back and forth for my job, but no rush.
no subject
i understand, but i don't think you have to worry too much.
plenty of outsiders aren't human and i'm not the only one helping out the medical crew, so you can always come to the medbay and just ask to be seen to by a fellow outsider.
please don't hesitate to do so in the future! it's always important to get proper treatment asap.
[ Have a friendly PSA from your resident EMT student and one of the very few magical healers around (help them) instead of brotherly scolding?? ]
don't worry, i won't be long.
i'll grab some stuff and i'll be right there!
no subject
... That and I'll probably have to see them, Dr. Spin and such, for this anyway.
[Like hell is Donnie going around with one arm for too long.]
Okay. I'll be waiting.
no subject
but really, the longer you let a wound go without proper treatment, the more work it might be for them in the long run too.
especially when not even supernatural means of healing like mine are always as effective as they should be.
[ But ah, that pretty much confirms his suspicion about the injury's nature. ]
if it helps you feel more comfortable, you could ask someone you trust to come along with you when you're ready to go see them.
[ He is texting all this as he's already hustling along, grabbing his medical kit to bring with him just in case his reverse cursed technique either isn't a viable option or enough to help. ]
no subject
[But he doesn't really want to put Leo through more stuff, considering how he lost his arm.
And he is just waiting in his room. Maybe puttering around, considering the state of the base was in before this all happened.]
no subject
and if your positions were switched, wouldn't you want to be there for him?
it can't hurt to ask.
[ Maybe that's just the big brother in him talking though.
Anyway, despite being told there's no rush, he is rushing. So, one gathered bag and swift walk later: ]
getting to the data portal now.
i'll be there in five.
[ And true to his word, there will be a gentle knock on the door soon after. Personal aid has arrived in the form of a lanky teenager who might seem professional enough with the actual first responder bag hanging from his shoulder, but then there's the sword bag slung over the other and the wakizashi on his hip that sure makes him a strange figure for a medical house call. ]
no subject
In fact he doesn't reply at all, just waiting instead. So when the knock is on his door?
He will go and answer it. Enjoy the teenaged mutant turtle answering the door, and he could have stood in a way to keep what remains of his left arm missing. But that would probably not go down well, so Yuta will get to see the bandaged up stump of Donnie's left arm.]
MONSTER, yeah? [Since they didn't exactly exchange names.]
no subject
It means that when the door opens and he's met by a teenaged mutant turtle, Yuta is not batting an eye at his appearance. The stump of his arm gets only a cursory, casual-seeming glance ā he's ignoring the memory of what he's done to Muramasa that the sight invokes ā and he's doing fine looking professional right up until "MONSTER". The unfortunate username that he never chose himself coupled with the reminder of what he's done... well. There might be the slightest falter; the start of a grimace tugging at his lips before he manages to transform it into an amiable smile. ]
Yes, hi! [ And to quickly remedy his mistake of not just introducing himself over the network: ] I'm Okkotsu Yuta. Unfortunate circumstances aside, it's nice to meet you.
[ The introduction is made complete with a little polite bow. ]
no subject
He doesn't notice that falter at all, gesturing with his right arm for the young man to come into the room.]
Donatello, but Donnie works just fine. Thanks for coming, Okkotsu. [He might be part japanese, but Donnie isn't fully aware that Okkotsu is a family name and not a first name.]
no subject
Once again accidentally getting people not in the know to call him by his last name the proper polite Japanese way: success. ]
It's no problem, Donnie-kun. My healing ability should be able to help, but if not...
[ He shifts his shoulder, bringing the first responder bag forward a little to indicate it. He's obviously no actual doctor or anything, but he can at least make sure the wound is tended to properly until the loss of arm is seen to by Dr. Spim. ]
Please have a seat wherever is most comfortable for you and I'll have a look.
cw: injury discription
Also if the wound starts bleeding again, sheets are way easier to clean then a floor.]
Can't be any worse than what my brother did!
[As to said arm stump, it's bandaged up pretty well. Since, he's been trying his best to take care of it. Changing bandages when needed (most likely with Leo's help when he can get it) and such things. When the wrappings come off, Yuta will find it's healed, okay? The cut was not the cleanest, but most certainly not done by, say, being bitten. More like it was crushed by something closing on it, then a clean cut either. But for the amount of time it's had to heal, it could be so much worse, especially considering Donnie has not had it looked at by anyone other than his twin.]
no subject
What your brother did...?
[ It's echoed apprehensively. He doesn't want to assume the worst. Possibly Donnie means that the wound hasn't been treated well by his brother in the aftermath, but there's a sinking feeling that's not the case. (The work he's currently undoing is done too decently for that.) It's also hard not to jump to a certain grim conclusion when he's been the cause of a loss of arm himself.
But well, the wound that's revealed is... it could be worse, all things considered. In a really messed up way, the fact that it is not a (beautiful, perfect) clean cut makes it easier to face even if the memory of Muramasa's bleeding stump tugs at his mind at the sight. Yuta ignores it staunchly, hard-focusing on inspecting the wound with diligent care. ]
It looks like it's been healing pretty well. I should be able to speed that along with my reverse cursed technique.
no subject
[Donnie is not going to tell a stranger that Leo was also the one who took off his arm, he can at least lie about that fact via omission! He's good at that kind of lying at least. While Yuta inspects and such, Donnie is doing his best to keep it still.]
Yeah, my family kind of heal pretty quickly, all things considered? Might be a mutant thing though.
[Ah, but reverse curse? That has his interest but also...]
If it'll end up hurting you or anything like that I'd like to avoid the curse thing?
no subject
I see.
[ The increased healing factor(?) as well as the mutant comment are noted, but before he can say anything, there is the kind concern that has him quick to clarify what he's talking about in order to assuage it. ]
Ah, don't worry. It's nothing like that. Back in my world, almost everyone has cursed energy and as a jujutsu sorcerer, I'm able to use mine to fight and such. With reverse cursed technique, I'm just converting my own cursed energy into positive energy meant for healing. Hence the reverse in the name.
[ This serves as a good segue into checking something before he proceeds though. ]
It will work as intended on anyone who is not a curse or a being made entirely out of negative emotions.
no subject
Also he's bad at hiding his feelings when it's something he has a strong opinion on, but he won't say anything.]
Well, I'm pretty sure I'm neither of those things. I do have mystic abilities, but they probably shouldn't interfere?
[Boy it would suck if Curses and Ninpo clashed.]
no subject
But so long as he's still allowed to try and do his work, it doesn't matter what people might think of him and his cursed gifts. ]
They shouldn't. It's worked fine on everyone else so far.
[ Whether they're possessing of their own magic and no matter what world they come from, it seems. All the same, he'll proceed with caution just in case. ]
But I'll start with a little bit first and we can see how it goes.
[ It takes only the raising of a hand, a tiny moment of focus to funnel his cursed energy down his arm (converting it along the way), and then a light touch to Donnie's shoulder for it to activate. As promised, he channels only a little bit of positive energy through the contact first, testing; a small current of soothing relief to any pain and a gentle urging for flesh to knit itself back together. ]

[Cause what else can he say to all that? He did ask for help and Yuta is providing it, it'd be rude as fuck if he did something to turn Yuta away. So he will hold as still as possible while the curse does its thing, even that little bit of it? Kinda weird feeling. He scrunches his snout a little, because while weird it's also soothing.
Also trying to not look at his stump while Yuta does his thing.]
So? It worked?
[Flesh did knit itself back together, so not clash between curse and ninpo, but also not like Donnie watched it happen. He has a hard enough time with the bandages, with how squeamish he can be.]
no subject
Yes, it did. Thank goodness.
[ It means he can stop being so careful. Where the flow of directed energy was a gentle current, it now turns into a brief flash-flood as Yuta channels it freely; like a bucket of cold water being dumped over one's head on a summer's hot day ā sudden, a little uncomfortable, yet soothing. It mends the rest of the wound, leaving behind only a scar on the stump. Yuta, for his part, looks slightly more wan in the aftermath for the drain on his cursed energy, but it does not affect the smile he offers when he retracts his hand again. ]
There. Now you won't have to worry about taking care of it. You can go see Dr. Spim whenever you feel ready.

[He was talking right when Yuta upped the energy, and while Donnie is a turtle and used to water? The sudden feeling of being dumped with cold water like that totally took the teenager by surprise, a shudder running through him at the sensation.
But the smile from Yuta is reassuring, and hey. Donnie notices the wan-ness.]
... thanks, but you should worry about yourself first? Do you need something to eat or drink?
[Not that he has drinks stashed in his room, but he might have a ration bar or two he stowed away just in case.]
no subject
[ Hastily and sheepishly murmured at the startle, but what's done is done. The wound has been seen to as swiftly as possible and although there isn't much that Yuta can do for the loss of arm itself or any phantom pain that might follow in the wake of a lost limb, at least Donnie doesn't have to suffer through a slower recovery any longer.
It's worth the dip in cursed energy. Which would have been somewhat negligible if he wasn't pulling shifts at the medbay and depleting his stores constantly. As it stands, it's apparently noticeable enough to be caught. Yuta quickly forces his smile to be a bit brighter. ]
Oh, I'm all right, thank you. [ As he straightens, there's a wooziness that doesn't go away after a hard blink or two and has him amending, wryly: ] Just- a moment to sit, maybe.
no subject
And yeah, Donnie kind has some skill in telling when a person is putting on an act (he's not great at it though). He can sometimes read his twin after all, and Leo is (in his opinion) a master at deceiving people on that front. So that forced smile gets a kind of flat look from the turtle, but he won't call it out.]
Yeah, come sit. [And he moves his stump as if he was going to pat the bed, and then sheepishly catches himself before switching to his right arm to pat the bed.]
no subject
Thank you.
[ He'll duly sit down on the bed where indicated, prim and proper posture for all of a few seconds before the exhaustion causes him to slump a bit, shoulders sinking with the soft exhale that leaves him, already hooded eyes growing even heavier for a moment until he looks back at Donnie, apologetic and grateful all at once. ]
Sorry to impose like this, it doesn't normally drain me this much, but I guess I've been expending more energy than I thought.
