[Tower Takeover Plot] || [24th to 25th June] || [Open/Closed]

[great_king_of_evil]

Characters: A lot - Look at the tags. I'll try to keep the list updated as it goes on.
Setting: The Tower (various floors) / The Pod Area / The Control Room. The Teams attempt to break-in will happen during the night from the 24th to the 25th. The monsters being enraged will last for the the 24th and the 25th, and will end with Ganon's death early on the 25th.
Format: Action most likely
Summary: Ganondorf's plot to take over the tower is finally happening, with various team assigned to various tasks. You can go here for more details or to ask a question. There will be mainly three things going on:

- The Control Room team, led by Ganondorf and attempting to take over the tower. This group's action will be divided in two threads, one before they reach the control room, one after. Membership for this group is CLOSED.
- The Pod Team, trying to break into the Pods, actually only serving as diversion so that the Control Room Team can reach its purpose. Like for the Control Room team, there will be two threads. Membership for this group is OPEN.
- The Monsters going berserk in the tower and attacking everyone on their way, once more to serve as a diversion. No membership required for that.

Basically, we start by tagging the Gathering thread of each team, then after a short while move on to the Pod/Control Room thread. There will also be a thread about the recruitment if you want it played out- Hence there will be a total of six threads in order to keep things organized, but don't hesitate to make your own thread if say, two or more characters have a private discussion at some point during the event or for a monster battle. More details below.

Warnings: Everyone in the Control Room will die, no escaping it. Those in the Pod Team may manage to survive if they're clever about it. Anyone encountering a monster risk to be wounded or killed.


Optional OOC Information
Lots of tl;dr, just to give a few more details in case you need them. Don't feel forced to read unless you need it, it's really lots of bla bla.

Control Room Team
This team is led by Ganondorf with the sole purpose of taking over the tower. First Ganon will wait until all those concerned arrive at the gathering; then details of the plan will be given once more for those who didn't hear everything. Only then will they head to the Control Room, since Ganondorf more or less found out how to reach it. Since this team is full, no more characters can be accepted in. People in this team are:

Ganondorf, MM Link, Fado, Hojo, Reno (OU), Naoya, Xigbar, Richtofen, Gimli, Riku (OU) and Shion. Fi and Xion (OU) may appear in the Gathering Thread but not the Control Room Thread. Indeed, because of how many people are involved (11-13), the events for this group will be divided into two threads: one before they enter the control room, one after.

The Gathering
This thread will take place on the First Floor (Cafeteria) and will be about the team's member arrival. They can speak between them in the meanwhile, whatever to kill time. Once everybody will be there, Ganondorf will explain the plan once more for those who don't know the details. He will make no mention of the diversions (it's to say the Monsters and the Pod Team) as officially he's not behind the Pod Team and most people shouldn't even know this Team exists. Then they will move in toward the control room.

The Control Room
This thread will take place in the Control Room, as the characters step in. This is also where everyone will die (anyone tagging in this thread is sure to die). Probably killed off by Zo? The details for how it'll happen precisely are yet unknown. Considering how long this is all going to be, we won't have to wait until the first's thread end to start this one.


Pod Team
This Team is led by SS Link and has for objective to go and free those prisoner in the Pods not like those in Dax's pod want to be freed anyway. In fact, Ganon secretly set it up to serve as diversion for the Control Room Team to succeed. Nevertheless aside from the Turks, nobody in the group knows that it is only as a diversion. Those involved are:

SS Link, TP Link, ALTTP Link, Enoch, Kafuka, Tara, Suzaku, Beat, Rude and Reno (AU). Unlike the Control Room Team, this one is still open to more people if you want join in the horror fun. And unlike the Control Room Team, those in this team may come out of it alive if they play smart. IF. Much like for the Control Room team, events for this group will be divided in two threads.

The Gathering
Same than for the other team, except it happens on the First Dormitory Floor. SS Link will be the one in charge here. He'll probably also be much more sympathetic than Ganondorf, open to answer questions and less of a douche overall. Well he should be Link.

The Pods' Area
This thread will take place when the characters will get close to the Pod Area. What will happen exactly is not that clear yet, but if they play clever they may come out of it alive.


Inside the Tower
Because one diversion isn't enough, Ganondorf has used his powers to enrage the Tower's monsters and send them to kill everyone. He's sent out a couple monsters of his making as well, and asked Ghirahim to go on a killing spree. Just another day in the tower.

You don't need to tag in the monster thread for that, it's just for convenience. If you want to play with that side-effect of the event, you can chose to make your own thread, or your own log.

Monsters
Same monsters than usual, except this week-end, they are out to kill. More than they usually are. Stronger, more ferocious, faster, etc. There are particularly more Darknut than usual. On the less dangerous side, there are many Poes Ganondorf created causing havoc around, not so much killing people, more like ravaging the tower in any possible ways. They're ghost-like creatures, sensitive to light.

Jalhalla
Jalhalla is a gigantic monster unleashed by Ganon as seen here and here is for an example of how a battle against it works. Fou-Lu Is set to kill it before the end of the event, but that doesn't mean it cannot harm people or wreak havoc before that.

Ghirahim
At least one of the two Ghirahim will be out, hunting to kill anyone they can on Ganondorf's order. The sad part is that unlike regular monsters, Ghirahim is very smart and won't go down that easily.

Recruitment
Because time lacked, there was no recruitment post for the teams. Nevertheless, if you'd rather not have the recruitment and revelations handwaved, you can tag into this thread to have the recruitment happen.

Comments

[nightmareofdivinity]

[... Well now. He turns to look at Ghirahim, the sudden power both shocking and interesting. Seems someone's been quite busy.]

We assume thou art referring to thyself. Thy power may be strong, but it cannot stand against others.

[He hovers there, hybrid form bristling with power. He's not manifesting anything, but it's clear he's ready for a fight.]

[outforheroblood]

Ah, but it can. And it will. You see, you've gone and destroyed one of my master's little pets. And that cannot be forgiven...

Besides...I'm already in such a mood. *she raises one of her swords and licks the blood from the blade with a tongue too long to be human. The action is borderline erotic, sensual. She shivers at the taste and points the sword at Fou-Lu.*

You sound like a proper gentleman. Surely you wouldn't deny a lady a dance...

[nightmareofdivinity]

Come, then. Let us see how graceful thou art.

[He extends a hand, and then races towards her, going for another Aura Smash. She looked as if she had some kind of defenses, so hopefully striking at her aura itself would be much more effective.]

[outforheroblood]

*...a blind charge? Child's play. She raises her swords to block his advance, magic energy crackling along her hands. The knives that have been zipping in and out of existence materialize around her, flying at Fou-Lu at high velocity.*

[nightmareofdivinity]

[He just smirks, not really caring that much about the knives. His tail flicks up to block some of them that are aiming for more sensitive parts, but otherwise he doesn't care about them hitting him. He flips backwards, raising a hand for a moment. A harsh, razor-sharp wind blows, and he directs it towards her, aiming both to blow further attacks off-course and see how strong her defenses were.]

[outforheroblood]

*that backflip just ensured that all that's visible of Ghirahim is a cloud of dark geometric diamonds. She re-materializes right behind him, immediately lashing out with both her swords, attacking him with crazed zeal as she laughs maniacally from the sheer thrill of it all.*

[nightmareofdivinity]

[Well. That's annoying. He twists to attempt to avoid the attack, lifting an arm to protect his face. The sword attacks are painful, but he'll deal with healing later - in the meantime he kicks out with both of his clawed feet, trying to catch her in the stomach and push her away. Powerful though his blows might be, melee fighting is not his strongest point.]

[outforheroblood]

*The kick doesn't even faze her. She stumbles back from the force a bit, but it's left no imprint on her metal skin. It's so hard that Fou-Lu might have very well hurt his foot in the attempt.

And then she summons a cluster of knives again at point blank range and jumps back to attempt to charge him instead.*

[nightmareofdivinity]

[He spins out of the way and slams his feet against the ground, releasing a shockwave of earth and summoning large chunks of rock from nowhere heading towards her. He'll deal with healing soon - those knives are starting to get through his defenses and seriously start hurting.]

[outforheroblood]

*The chunks of rock plow into her body, trapping her between the stones and the wall. Ghirahim screamed in annoyance, struggling to free herself. It will take her a while to force the stone out of her way.*

[nightmareofdivinity]

[Perfect. He flips backwards and rises into the air, before diving downwards for another Aura Smash to smack into her aura itself. That defense is annoying, but thankfully most auras don't have specific defenses - just bodies...]

[outforheroblood]

*She screams in pain as the crystal in her chest cracks from the force of his blow. In retaliation she shoves the rocks away from her and grabs at him, summoning another sword to her hand. The intention being to impale him and be done with it.*

[nightmareofdivinity]

[He grins, realizing now where he needs to attack. Even as she grabs onto his arm and impales him through the chest, he laughs, reaching for her crystal and casting a powerful ice spell at close range.]

[This blade... it was not the Dragonslayer... and even that had failed to kill him. This chest wound is serious, though. He'll have to attend to it soon.]

[outforheroblood]

*The crystal cracks even more, almost shattered. Ghirahim twists her blade within his body, ploughing up as much of his body as she can.*

Just...die...

[nightmareofdivinity]

No.

[He lifts his hand for another round of the ice spell, though the backlash is hurting him as well. He's low on energy, and there's only so much his natural resistances can cover. But he will not allow himself to fall before he takes down this creature.]

[outforheroblood]

*She yanks the sword from his chest and drives it towards his throat. she will have his blood. All of it.*

[nightmareofdivinity]

[Welp. He puts all he can into one final blast of magic, aiming directly for her crystal. He can't avoid the sword at this range, and the pain in his chest and throat is so severe that he feels he might pass out. But he will fight as long as he can, until he defeats his foe.]

[outforheroblood]

*Ghirahim screams as the crystal in her chest shatters. She staggers back, her sword still embedded in his neck, clutching at the gaping hole in her chest.

She staggers again, trying to catch her breath.*

You wretched brat...

[nightmareofdivinity]

[He laughs, pulling the sword out of his neck, disregarding the blood dripping from him.]

Thou... should hath not... challenged the power of an Endless...

[He doesn't have enough magic left to heal. Even his bangle isn't going to help, since he's losing more blood than it can heal. He drops his hybrid form, going back to his humanoid form.]

Foul beast... begone...

[He drops to his knees, letting the sword fall, clutching his chest. Pain... so much pain... but he is an Endless! He cannot die! Has this place weakened him so?]

[outforheroblood]

*she laughs, just as exhausted, falling to one knee. How is she going to fix this now? Ganondorf might be able to restore her power with the fragment of Demise within him. But that would be if she even returned to him in time.

She dismisses the sword that impaled him to conserve her energy. So much blood...what a waste.*

Endless...the only true Endless one is Mistress Demise. When she returns...You will kneel at her feet and scream so loud you deafen yourself from the sound of it.

[nightmareofdivinity]

How wrong thou art. We be an Endless... an Unfading One. Thy mistress be not the only one...

[If she even is one. BUt he'd have to see for himself.]

We shall kneel to no one, nor give any creature a victory of that sort over us.

[He's shaking, though. He's exhausted and he needs to rest, if he's to have even a chance of recovery. He can't get up, though.]

[outforheroblood]

*If it makes him feel any better, neither can she.*

When I regain my strength...I won't hold back...

[nightmareofdivinity]

We shall see how thy boasts turn out.

[Maybe if he just... rests here... it doesn't seem as if she was able to attack him anymore. He drags himself over to a wall to lean against it, leaving a smear of blood on the floor. He watches her, but his eyes keep opening and closing as he struggles to keep conscious.]

/THREADJACKS IN THE NAME OF LOVE

[brokenstove]

[You know, Mami was just wandering around and now her moirail/matesprit double reacharound person is bleeding out??? AUGH. She rushes over immediately, horrified, and tries to help him somehow. Have to stop the bleeding now...]

Ryong? Ryong?! W-wha' 'appened to ye...?!

WELP.

[nightmareofdivinity]

[He freezes. He doesn't want her to see him like this. He doesn't say anything though, merely stares in Ghirahim's direction before looking back at Mami, breathing labored.]

'Tis... nothing... if we could keep thee from harm.
