[i]Cobalt sighs.[/i]
“I’m not making any promises.”
[i]He loads fresh magazines into his Aklex, then heads down to the Grand Hall.[/i]

[i]Cobalt quickly goes for a stab against the heart. (14)[/i]
-
The heart wobbles again as your blade hits it, but this time, the water at your feet turns red. Then, all is silent. "Does that mean we did it..?" Fukua asked. Just then a large spear of dark magic shoots out from the ground in front of her, its tip gliding past only inches away from her face. One shoots up in front of you, as well, forcing you to take a step back. And then another, and another, each one pushing you back until your back's against the wall of the room. You notice the rim of the room is surrounded by a small patch of dry land, and the spikes don't seem to be aiming for you here. It seems they'll only strike you if you step foot in the water. Fukua realized this too, and tried to shoot an energy orb at it, but as soon as she did the heart absorbed the blow, and immediately counterattacked with a laser, that she narrowly managed to dodge. "Uh, call me crazy, but I don't think we can use ranged attacks!" She said.
-
[i]Cobalt maneuvers over to her.[/i] “You think you could throw me? I could spear it with the ol’ sword.”
-
"All the way across the room? Uh, no. You weigh a ton, and while I've got some nifty super powers, super strength is not one of them. I could maybe throw you part of the way, though. I'm not too experienced at throwing people, so I can't guarantee your landing will go too well.."
-
“Just to the heart? I could throw you, if that’s that.” [i]Cobalt rolls his shoulders, and checks his augments.[/i]
-
"I don't like this idea, but I guess if it's either that or getting impaled, then sure. Just, don't mess up, please." Fukua said.

Edited by CrazyCobaltMan: 5/19/2021 2:37:19 AM[i]Cobalt holds his arms in an open position, ready to throw. [/i] “So as soon as you get over it, throw as much as you can on it. You should reach the other side, safe.”
-
Fukua hesitantly lets you throw her as far as you can. It seems, however, you either misjudged the distance, or something in the room was keeping her from reaching the whole way, as she begins to go down only about halfway there. Before she fell, however, her spectre hopped out of her body, and she crossed the second half by jumping off of it. She dove down towards the heart, her hair spiraling into a drill. It crashed into the heart's surface, dislodging it from the vines that held it to the floor and ceiling. Afterwards, it bounced about the room for a while, before finally floating still on the far side. A spike of dark magic appeared directly above it. Then another one appeared next to the first at an angle. Then two more. Each spike sat at equal distance from eachother, making the beginnings of a circle. You get the feeling the spikes were going to continue growing, and that if they made a full circle it'd be bad. "We need to finish this thing off now!" Fukua yelled. [b]FINISHER CHANCE![/b] [spoiler]I feel like I described it pretty poorly, but imagine the spikes making a "sun" shape, with the heart at its center. Also, if you want Fukua to do anything in particular with your finisher, from what you know of her powers, just let her know beforehand.[/spoiler]
-
“Hell, I agree. Let’s end it. Fire a set of hair drills, yeah?” [i]Cobalt loads a set of high power rounds into his flatline.[/i] “Gyrojet rounds, incredibly powerful. Shame I only have a few of ‘em.”
-
[spoiler]Are these explosive or anything, or just super tough?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Miniature missiles. Literally. Not only pretty powerful, but very fast, with outstanding anti-armor potential. Honestly I don’t have much else. I was thinking a giant laser gun on his back, that he’d fling out on his hip, like Fuse![/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]I was kinda hoping you'd decide to use the sewing sword, and then I'd make it GLOW! :D[/spoiler] Fukua's hair begins to glow a bright green, and she shoots her hand forwards. Her spectre lunged from her body at breakneck speed, slashing across the thing's surface with a hair-drill. Only a split second later, Fukua moved just as fast, seemingly teleporting towards where her shade wound up, only a second slice across the thing's surface proved that she actually just moved extremely fast towards its position. A green X of light where Fukua shot it rested on its surface. It now had 8 Dark Lances making a half circle around it. You fire your shots, which propel forwards, causing several small explosions, that leave the thing with several heavy cracks. Nearly in pieces, it finishes its circle, with 14 spikes of dark energy. They slowly coalesce into a one single one that rests in front of it, pointing at you. One more shot from your gun. The missile flies forwards, and crashes into the front of the spike, sending it launching backwards, piercing straight through the heart. The spear vanished, and the broken, shattered stone, fell to the ground in dozens of small red pieces. Fukua let out a sigh of exhaustion, and relief. "Finally."
-
[spoiler]what[/spoiler] [spoiler]aifos why did you not tell me, I want to retract my attack! I want a glowing sword![/spoiler] “You sure you’re doing alright? You seem a bit... beat.” [i]Cobalt flicks out the used magazine, and the heavy shells fall onto the ground, making a heavy clinking sound. He loads a fresh magazine.[/i] [spoiler]Laser gun is actually a good idea. I’m gonna work on that... sometime.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]You’ll have at least one more finisher opportunity, don’t worry![/spoiler] “I’m cool, don’t worry. When my hair goes all, y’know, sparkly, that’s me & my second soul working together. Lets us pull off some strong attacks, but it sure takes the wind out of me. It’s all short term, though, nothing long term.”
-
[spoiler][i]*Happiness noises*[/i][/spoiler] “Ah, that’s good, then. I’ll be a crutch if you need one.” [i]Cobalt looks around the room.[/i] “Now then, what’s next?”
-
The room was empty now. The only exit was the way you entered. “I guess we go back?”
-
[i]Cobalt shrugs, and starts heading that way.[/i] “I guess... this way.”
-
You start heading up the stairs, and surprisingly they don’t lead back into the dark hallway, but a wide open room, that was much brighter than the others. Above you you could see the glass dome of the gardens, and the light pouring in from there. “We’re almost out!” Fukua said excitedly.
-
“No, this doesn’t seem right. Be prepared for anything.” [i]Cobalt takes a few cautious steps into the main garden, Flatline out.[/i]
-
[spoiler]The exit to the garden is, like, [i]waaay[/i] above you. :p[/spoiler] Your hunch seems to be correct. The entance you came in through, and the exit far above both became covered by a canopy of vines, as the floor began to writhe. A bundle of vines began tangling in front of you, taking the shape of a human. Unlike the other creatures you’d been fighting, this one was incredibly detailed. And, in fact you recognized it; it was the spitting image of the statue from earlier. It opened its eyes, which let out a cyan glow, and stared at you. Then there was silence.
-
[spoiler]Cobalt just has... incredibly long legs.[/spoiler] [i]Cobalt holsters his rifle, taking a tentative step towards the statue. [/i]
-
As you move closer to the figure, one of its coiled hands reaches out towards you. Whether you realize it or not, you reach out your own hand towards it. In an almost trance like state, you begin walking closer, so enthralled by its allure thst you don’t even notice when its hand unwinds, and tranforms into a lomg mouth running up its arms, with thorns for teeth. “Stay away from that thing!” Fukua yells, shooting it with an energy sphere. It quickly coiled back, moving faster than any of the other vine creatures you’ve seen, and lets out a loud screech. It begins saying something, but you can’t understand it, and its hand sharpens into a blade. [spoiler]I actually had a script I wanted this thing to say, but didn’t want you to know what it was. I was hoping to find an English->Angelic Script translator from the NieR games, and type it in that, but I couldn’t find one. :([/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Hey, you could’ve put some random nonsense on, and I would’ve been chill.[/spoiler] [i]Cobalt dodges back, away from the plant. He fires a rifle burst at the new plant. (18)[/i]
-
[spoiler]Well, no, the fun part is that it would have been encoded. That with some effort you could figure it out and know what they were saying. Typing random nonsense is no fun.[/spoiler] The thing gets hit in the shoulder, and mutters some more incomprehensible phrases before angrily rushing at you. It’s fast, extremely fast, and is upon you almost in an instant, ready to plunge its blade into your face. Fukua takes a step fowards to try and help, but the thing’s other arm bursts into a much larger mass lashing out at her, keeping her prepccupied.
-
[spoiler]Oh, sounds fun.[/spoiler] [i]Cobalt snaps backwards, away from the blade, and punches straight out towards the figure. (14)[/i]
