KAIJU FIGHT #10
KAIJU FIGHT #10
ā¶ 001. FIND THE HIVE.
Reports of mysterious drumming deep in the forest seem promising. With the assistance of local scouts, they also find a clear path of destruction marked by dead plants and fallen insect kaiju. After collecting enough data, LILITH Mexico calls back the Outsiders and their scouts to regroup and recover for what they believe to be the final battle.
Based on their understanding of the region, the clues they've found, and Rift readings, they suspect a human-threat level kaiju is at the location of a known ancient temple. The reason they called the Outsiders back, however, is because it seems like not just one but two of these kaiju might be there. They want the Outsiders to recoup their strength before they head out.
Additionally, they believe one of the kaiju is one they have records of. A long time ago, during the first kaiju attacks, a plant-like kaiju they called "Nephenthipula" appeared and destroyed many cities which resulted in them becoming swallowed up by the expanding jungle. Over time, it simply went dormant and the forest became what it is today. They don't know why it suddenly returned but they suspect it might have something to do with the forest.
Before the teams are sent out, Dr. Flores approaches. Thanks to the hard work and research the Outsiders have been able to do, a basic antidote has been created that should be effective in helping to deal with most of the symptoms that theyāve been experiencing. Thereās a very limited amount, however, and he recommends that the Outsiders are cautious: once itās gone, there wonāt be any more until the kaiju is dealt with.
The other downside? Itās not completely refined, so some Outsiders might continue to face side effects. He has more good news to offset this, though: Based on toxicology reports and additional reports about abandoned hives and dead colonies, he suspects the second kaiju might be a wasp of some sort.
Both the wasp kaiju and the Nephenthipula are located deep within the jungle, further even than most outsiders have dared to travel. Interestingly, based on the coordinates they have received so far... they both seem to be in the same vicinity. Before being sent out they will be warned to prepare for a potential double battle.

ā¶ 002. OPERATION: NEPHENTHIPULA
The trip to the designated coordinate is fraught with danger. The forest seems to close in on itself, like it is protecting whatever it is that the Outsiders are trying to reach. The vines almost seem to take on a life of their own, the deeper into the jungle they travel. Forest creatures will attack outsiders, divebombing and trying to stop them when they take breaks from the trek deeper into the jungle. The deadly plants will become more aggressive, and the deeper Outsiders goā¦ the quieter it gets.
The animals stop attacking. The vines almost seem half-hearted as they move deeper. They are thinner and weaker. Many are cut or rotted. Theyāve been chewed through and though they still try to stop the outsiders, it is more like stopping the inevitable. As Outsiders breach the treeline, theyāll come into a clearing, where not only the Nephenthipula resides, rising from the forest like a raging colossus, but it is focused on a ruin. On trying to destroy it, its vines try to slap down stone towers, and strangle out parts of the ruin, but on the Outsiders' arrival, its focus is now fully shifted to focus on the new arrivals. Now is your chance, but Outsiders will find that they have to split up, and while some stay and fight the Nephenthipula; intel says that the Vescidae is inside the ruins but there is no clear way in.
Outsiders will quickly realize the Nephenthipula is not alone. In response to the plant kaiju, the entire forest seems to come to its aid. Vines will spread across the battlefield, attempting to tangle and strangle the Outsiders. Different vines manifest thorns, carnivorous flowers, and razor leaves to deter them even more.
Local kaiju also join in. Mutated jaguars, monkeys, snakes, and iguanas appear to further hinder their advances. From above, mutated butterflies, hummingbirds, and beetles rain pollen dosed with Rift energy. On top of the usual Rift sickness, this one seems to have an additional effect as well. The longer Outsiders are exposed to it, the more reluctant they are to attack the plant life and animal kaiju. They will feel a bond with the forest and become aggressive towards Outsiders causing harm.
The forest is their ally. They have to protect the forest at all costs. If that means turning against their friends then so be it. As long as Outsiders ally with the forest, they will find that they can call on it to assist them in limited capacity. They can use vines to block attacks and command some of the mutated kaiju to attack. Fortunately, Dr. Flores' antidote uses resources from the forest itself to counter some of these effects.

ā¶ 003. INTO THE HIVE.
Observant Outsiders may notice an entrance into the temple. They will have to find a way up the steps, over living and dead vines. Occasionally the vines cover the entrance so Outsiders will have to destroy them again and again to enter.
With this being the only entrance and the vines controlling how many can enter at a time, it is essentially a bottleneck. Those who enter first will have to be ready to respond quickly because sentry wasps the size of housecats will charge at them. They are small, fast, and aggressive but weak. Their stings are incredibly painful to victims but fatal to the wasps which die shortly after. However, after being stung, the Outsider may notice they are attacked more frequently, as if they have been specifically marked.
Eventually, the sentry drones die or retreat, granting them peace. The inside of the temple is covered in a paper-mache like material. Instead of the regular comb shaped pattern one might expect, the combs are shaped like stars. From deep inside the temple, they will hear a steady drumming sound. Following the drumming sound will lead them to even more sentry drones as well as larger soldier drones that are far more aggressive.
They will have to navigate the catacombs of the temple to find and kill the queen. Surprisingly, characters that have been stung will instinctively know which direction they need to go in and will feel drawn to its location. They will also be able to telepathically communicate with others who have been stung or significantly affected by the hive's rift energy.
They will encounter more sentry drones as well as larger solder drones that are far more aggressive. They will also find comb filled with a thick, sweet, milky colored substance and larvae in the center. Characters affected by the hivemind will know this is a precious, nutrient rich resource. Maybe it might be worth collecting?

ā¶ 004. OPERATION: VESCIDAE
The drumming sound becomes practically deafening and the Outsiders will find themselves in a great, open hall. The walls are carved with designs all the way up to the ceiling which is filled with stars. In the center of the hall they will see the Queen Vescidae. Her wings beat in a steady, drumming sound that echoes off the walls as she takes to the air and attacks.
As she attacks, drones will fly down from the ceiling to her aid. The venom from their stings is very potent and fast acting. At first, it clears the mind of their victims but some Outsiders react to this differently. Some Outsiders become incredibly calm and relaxed, as if all of their concernsā including the battleā are unimportant to them. Others will find that their new clarity makes it easier for them to focus, making them react to attacks faster and giving them an energy boost. For those who are particularly unlucky, however, the venom seems to wipe their minds completely, making them incredibly susceptible to the hypnotic beating of the Queen Vescidae's wings.
Certain Outsiders may suddenly find themselves turning on their friends as they become loyal to the hive. Their priority will become protecting the queen. By essentially becoming new drones, they become a part of the hive's hierarchy and can order lesser drones to assist them. Outsiders that still have Dr. Flores' antidote can protect themselves and potentially save some of their friends.
In a closed space, the battle is especially chaotic and it only gets worse when parts of the temple-hive begin to crumble and collapse. Vines pierce through the walls and outside attacks make the entire hive tremble. Letting in light and fresh air from outside which provides some relief. Shinn is able to land a critical attack on the Vescidae which stuns it. It staggers in the air disoriented and this allows the Outsiders to attack more easily. Shoto sets it on fire and it frantically begins to fly into the walls of the hive, causing more of it to collapse. Eventually, a reckless attack from Geto brings it down once and for all, putting an end to it.
The Vescidae smolders as parts of the hive and temple collapse around it. As parts of the ceiling collapse, they can see the traditional star designs up close. At the center of each star is a drawing of a striped insect.

ā¶ 005. AFTERMATH.
Outside the hive, the battlefield and temple are swallowed up by vines and plantlife. In all of the chaos, it is impossible to tell where the Nephenthipula stops and where the Nephenthipula begins. They finally get a break when Ereshkigal's spears do massive damage, severing many of the Nephenthipula's vines. This makes it easier for Outsiders to attack closer or allows them to focus on holding back the forest and lesser kaiju. Weakened by everyone's efforts, the Nephenthipula eventually grows tired which allows Raphael to find an opening. The kaiju falls to the ground and begins to wither. As it turns to dust, a voice whispers, "How could you all do this to us and this planet?"
With its most powerful fighter defeated, the forest has taken a major blow. It still tries to defend itself but all of its attacks are much weaker. It does not stop until the hive temple begins to crumble and the beating sound from within comes to a stop. Suddenly, everything goes silent as the vines still and the lesser kaiju stop to observe.
Finally, the forest breathes. The vines recede and the lesser kaiju return to the jungle, leaving the Outsiders alone.
With the kaiju dealt with, itās like a heavy weight has been lifted from the city, and the air itself feels less oppressive. Many of the issues that Outsiders had been dealing with seem to settle, the way of nature restored. Itās not all perfect, and there are still some lingering effects of pollen and other issues, but things seem to be better, to say the least. The Rift energy that had plagued the landscape settles and, over time, begins to recede.
One of the more lingering effects is the sickness affecting the civilians. Dr. Flores, using the research materials that Outsiders had returned to base, has begun to create a cure for the strain. Thereās a catch: thereās no one to test it on except the Outsiders, so he reluctantly asks for their aid in seeing how effective it is. At first, it doesnāt seem to work too successfully, so Dr. Flores requests the venom of the Vescidae and the royal honey-like substance in order to supplement the cure, and tasks Outsiders with bringing samples of the venom back to base. Once this is added, it works far better.
There are various side effects as the cure is tested. The happier of Outsiders might find themselves prone to bursts of anger and irritation, while the more bitter team members could find themselves experiencing bouts of ecstasy and euphoria. As night falls, some might find themselves irrationally afraid of the dark and struggling with a chronic case of insomnia, which nothing seems to relieve. Thanks to the kaiju venom, there are still lingering effects from previous ventures into the jungleā¦ The same violence and extreme emotions from before (yes, those too).
In addition, in the city there is another kind of testing, the kaiju left more than just venom behind, after all. Some vendors, perfumers, and even bars and smoke shops are making use of the remaining pollen, and Outsiders might find themselves asked to try a free sample, or get sprayed with a random perfume without their asking. Surely itās fine! You might find yourself subjected to some of the pollen effects, like the increased hunger (of any kind) so you might want to go satiate those munchies, pronto!
Once the cure has been tested appropriately, Dr. Flores begins to make the rounds on the locals, dealing with the most sick first. The cure is also handed out to the Outsiders, so they can do their part. Dr. Flores congratulates the Outsiders on their success, and seems genuinely pleased - and proud? - of the work theyāve put in. Whatās that about blood sacrificesā¦? He doesnāt want to hear about any of that. Just hand over any remaining insects, please, and get ready for a return to home.

no subject
The wasp venom must cause hallucinations. [She tells herself. At least her auditory perception is still working... probably. Yugamu is behind her, and he doesn't sound like he's in distress. The bug that was closing in on her is dead. She's not going to question it.
She keeps moving, swinging her mace at the wasps that come within range, and trying really hard not to see impossibly stretchy limbs in the corner of her vision.]
no subject
Hm? What kind of anomalies are you experiencing? Aural or visual?
[As he keeps his main focus on the bugs still. Still being Captain Wacky Arms. At one point he seemingly manifests some ominous red object, throwing it into a cluster of bugs where it exploded in an oddly wet cloud of red vapor.]
no subject
[And that can't be right. Please don't let it be right. Yugamu is already Weird Enough as is.
...though, at least they're keeping the drones at bay. Maybe killing these bees will bring some catharsis to the boy.]
no subject
Oh, you mean mine? No, that's real.
[He reaches out to pat her on the shoulder. From far too far away for that to be possible normally.]
Try not to stare too much, though, I'm shy~
[That's can't possibly be true.]
no subject
The stretchy arm comes at her, and Jessica shudders as it pats her. Why is it so long??]
Stop that! How do your sleeves work? How do your bones work?
no subject
I figure the sleeves stretch with them because my class armor is made with hemoanima... as for my bones... are you sure you want all the details?
[Based on her reaction.]
It's one of the gifts given to me by my family, but most people find it unsettling.
no subject
No, I already regret asking!!
[Wait, it's a gift from his family? She doesn't want to insult Yugamu's family
just Yugamu.] I mean, sorry. It's... unique.[That's the kindest thing she can think to say.]
no subject
Haha, well that's certainly true. It's okay if you think it makes me a freak though, I think that's a normal opinion to have?
[As he stretches out to stab another bee out of the air. He sounds perfectly composed but... he did say earlier he was shy about it. Is it really okay?]
no subject
No way! If it's a gift from your family, I'm not gonna smack-talk it, and you shouldn't let anyone badmouth it either!
[She sure wouldn't put up with anyone insulting something she got from her parents. No way!]
no subject
Huh? It's not like I can control what other people say or think, though?
[He's glad they're having this discussion because it means all his active mind space is being occupied it and he can just go on bee killing autopilot and not think about Other Things.]
no subject
You can tell 'em to stuff it if they say anything! Or if you're too shy, tell me and I'll tell 'em off!
[Jessica has officially promoted herself to your 'Excuse me, he asked for no pickles' friend. Deal with it.]
You have to stand up for yourself and your family, you know! [Except when it's Jessica yelling at you, then you probably deserve it.]
no subject
I appreciate the offer! But just calling them weird or freaks doesn't really do much, so I don't see the point? Telling them to not say it doesn't change what they think. I'm more concerned if someone tried to physically harm my family. Then I'd kill them without a second thought.
[He's so used to being labeled a freak. And he knows he and his family are abnormal.]
no subject
She frowns at Yugamu.]
But does it hurt your feelings? [Because then there's a point in stopping it. Although... maybe Yugamu likes being called names, who even knows with him.
She's not even gonna comment on his protectiveness about his family. If someone tried to hurt her dad, she'd go ballistic on them.]
no subject
His own words to his friends, echoing in his head. Even people that he likes, that he's fairly certain care about him as well, often seem to think because of the way he acts that things just roll right off his back. Jessica barely even likes him and is asking him this. He could kiss her. He silently resolves that if anyone ever hurts her he'll gut them like a fish. Literally.]
I- My-
[He's so thrown off that he almost doesn't see a bee divebombing him, but skewers it at the last second.]
W-Well, you kind of have to build up a thick skin in my family's line of work, you know!!
[Said in a slightly higher pitched and strained voice than usual as he flushes.]
no subject
It doesn't matter how thick your skin is. You shouldn't have to put up with that in the first place.
[So let her know if you need her to bully your bullies, Yugamu. Jessica has never met a jerk she wasn't willing to yell at.]
no subject
Jessica, I'm very glad I met you. Especially today. You're a good friend.
[Also sorry his hands are covered in blood, so her hand is now too. "bees don't have blood" yeah it's not bee blood but also don't worry about it.]
no subject
But he's being sweet and not super weird right now, so she'll overlook it. She gives him a wink.]
Yeah, of course I am! Don't ever forget it!
[At least he's distracted from his past bee-trauma. Although, looking down at her now-blood streaked hand, she gasps.]
Wait, did you get hurt? SAY SOMETHING NEXT TIME, IDIOT!
no subject
But ah, oops.]
Oh, no, I'm alright! It's just that my class weapons and armor are made out of blood so it just sometimes... gets all over, you know how it is with blood.
[You know.]
no subject
What do you mean they're 'made of blood'? [That's the weirdest magic she's ever heard of!
Her eyes go wide.]
Does it hurt you to use them?
no subject
[Extremely Yugamu Response. Anyway he pulls out an ominously magical looking red blade.]
The infuser injects hemoanima into my body to activate them, and it's what allows me to use my blood as a weapon. That's what the mist you saw was too!
no subject
So she holds up a finger and shakes it at him.]
Then you better be eating plenty of iron in your diet and drinking lots of water before every fight, GOT IT?
[She's going to be furious if Yugamu doesn't take proper care of himself and ends up passing out from bloodloss.]
no subject
[But he's charmed by her concern for him regardless.]
It was a lot easier back at school where we could just die as many times as we wanted, though.
no subject
[She probably heard that right, and from every experience she's had with Yugamu before, he's probably not lying.
His world must be the strangest one she's ever heard of.
The finger she's waggling jabs into his chest, avoiding the weird hole that she tries not to look too closely at.]
Well, listen up! If you die here, Yugamu, I'm going to KILL YOU.
[So beware about being reckless.]
no subject
My goodness, don't do that! Without the Revive-o-matic I'll stay dead here~
[And with that pretty clear confirmation she heard him correctly, he trots off to find more bees to kill. Come along, new bestie.]
no subject
