Floor 25

[personal profile] egotrigger 2012-11-08 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Allelujah was a little nervous about this. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to wrestle control back from Hallelujah if things got too bad, but his other half was getting way too antsy. They'd been working out as much as possible, but with no real enemy to fight Hallelujah had turned his energy to harassing Allelujah even more.]

[Hopefully, whoever this was, he was able to hold up well in a fight. He'd left all of his weapons in his chest in his room. It wasn't the best solution, but he'd rather Hallelujah not kill anyone.]

[As he arrived on the level, he takes a deep breath and looks around.]

Floor 45 (Glass room) | Naoya, Yu, Lucifer

[personal profile] imperialsun 2012-11-08 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
So.

Lucifer.

Not many people could say they'd got to battle him head on, but not many people could say they had fought Nyx either. If there is any nervousness in Naoya, it is buried layers under his calm exterior and he steps into the room at the exact time they had set up, sword in hand.

He'd be lying to himself if he didn't feel a little bit excited at the prospect of it all. The fights in the tower to protect yourself and others were one thing, but testing one's might against a stronger force, let alone Lucifer, was something else entirely. He knew that both him and Yu had a great challenge on their hands but...

He was intent on winning.
pitiedthefool: (enigma ⚡ you should watch)

Naoya, if we die, I'm going to kill you and not show my nerd levels for a week.

[personal profile] pitiedthefool 2012-11-08 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yep.

Lucifer.

Not many people could say they got to battle Izanami either, but at least then it was 'I don't have a choice.' Though would he be lying if he wasn't excited to fight someone more powerful than him again? Yes, he would, and Yu made it a point not to make himself any more than a liar unless it was one of the small things.

Sword at his side, he only briefly glanced in Naoya's direction. The last time he faced someone like this, it was alone. This?

This was going to be fun... and that intent was mutual.

No, we haven't. I'm Allelujah.

[He pauses for a moment.]

This might be a bit strange for you, but... well. I'm not the one you'll be fighting against.

[Allelujah looks over to the side of him, where he can see Hallelujah cracking his knuckles.]

My... ah... other half is the one who wanted the exercise.
egotrigger: ([halle] eh you think so?)

[personal profile] egotrigger 2012-11-08 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Good. At lest he didn't freak out from the initial explanation.]

I apologize for him in advance. He's very rude and violent.

[And in an instant, the man's entire expression and posture changes, taking a more casual lean - and a wide, cruel grin. He sweeps his hand over his hair to reveal a golden eye and to recover his grey one. He looks Louis over, and cackles.]

Ahahaha! You're the one I'm fighting? You don't look like much - that damn suit looks fucking ridiculous!

[Who the hell wears purple aside from Tieria and girls, anyway?]

But fine. I've got no problems punching your pretty face in.

[He drops into a fighting stance, wishing for a knife but fine with just beating the hell out of his opponent. This shouldn't take long.]

Since you're the one who called people out, I"ll be generous and give you a moment to get ready to die.

"We've come to BARE ALL OF OUR SOULS", they said as they started to strip...okay wait no--

"I understand," Naoya simply answers back, knowing that despite the fact Lucifer looks perfectly normal, appearances could be deceiving. He isn't going to let the fact that he might die from this stop him; but also isn't going to do this blindly and relax due to the fact he can die and come back again. No, death would mean they had lost...and as said previously, he had come here to win.

Also stop saying how damn good you looked inside his head, Lucifer.

He quickly takes a battle pose with his sword, already the faint blueish outline on the floor foretelling of a Persona that comes forth a second later, standing behind him. Vishnu mimics a similar pose to Naoya, grasping his wand like its user is holding his weapon.

"I'm ready." The voice echos twofold; both his and the Persona's speaking as one.

[personal profile] pitiedthefool 2012-11-08 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Mm." He knew all too well, and the words from an Empress had stuck to him like glue. Thus his answer was short, punctuated with a nod as he shifted into a comfortable battle stance. Oddly enough, it was the same as his true self's, now. Must have been 'him' for far too long last month, after all.

Seriously Lucifer, you can stop saying that in both their heads at any time, now.

"Let's go." He reached out with the other hand, crushing the Tower Arcana as Yoshitsune appeared. Unlike Naoya and Vishnu, Yoshitsune remained silent, lifting one of his blades as it cast Heat Riser in preparation. Might as well start on the prepared side.
egotrigger: ([halle] heh.)

It looks weird as hell.

[Fortunately for him, Hallelujah's reflexes are lightning fast. He twitches away from the headbutt and lowers a hand to block the punch towards his solar plexus. He shoves back against the punch with some force, and takes a swing at Lucifer's collar, right where the neck meets the torso.]

Floor 20. Lucifer vs. Sephiroth

[personal profile] neverbeamemory 2012-11-08 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
To say that Sephiroth had been looking forward to this chance to stretch his skills would be an understatement. Indeed like the msg shared on the network, there was only so much killing of mindless monsters one could do before it became boringly predictable.

He knew that flight wasn't possible on this floor having tried it before, Sephiroth hoped that this would help to keep the challenge fairly grounded at least. Plus there was that interesting crumbling spiral ramp right the way around the tower going up. He'd never been all the way up and around it but if they needed to expand their duel there was that opportunity.

Entering down the staircase from Floor 21, Sephiroth's immense long silver hair was caught in the gusts that wove their way in and around this floor which opened onto the outside. The ends of his leather trenchcoat too were suitably rippled. He didn't venture too far onto the floor in case his opponent would be waiting in ambush but instead waited patiently near to the stairwell he'd come down.

Floor 25 Lucifer vs Lancer

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2012-11-09 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Only after looking through the Tower did Lancer realize that there was one fault to his plan. Namely, he had never seen the face of the man who he was challenging. Therefor, he was stuck tapping people on the shoulder asking if they knew anything about the man challenging people a week prior.]

[It's with this in mind that he greets the blonde man on this floor.]

Hey, remember that guy challenging people over the network a while back?

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2012-11-09 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[The voice does sound familiar, but he can't put his finger on it yet.]

Do you have any idea who he is? Got a duel scheduled with him today.
egotrigger: ([halle] what?!)

[personal profile] egotrigger 2012-11-09 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[... Crap. This bastard is tough. Most people would have at least gotten knocked back, if not down completely. The guy moves faster than he was expecting, too - so it's with a surprised cry that he realizes his wrist and shoulder have been grabbed. He lashes out with a kick, aiming for the guy's dick and trying to struggle against him to prevent being thrown.]

Bastard!
egotrigger: ([halle] what the fuck?!)

[personal profile] egotrigger 2012-11-09 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
... Great, you're a fucking dickless wonde -

[Crap. He rights himself in the air so he comes down on his feet, and he immediately springs towards Lucifer again. This would be over so fast if he had a knife - or even better, if he had Kyrios.]

Fuck you!

[This guy's just messing with him. When the hell is he gonna take this seriously?]
imperialsun: (Persona - Sent out to attack)

[personal profile] imperialsun 2012-11-09 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
The advantage of bringing out Vishnu first was that it was strong against all attacks. It gave Naoya the ability to analyze what he could do without being harmed too much. Granted, that doesn't give him immunity, and it still does hurt, but he's is able to brush it off quicker in this first wave.

They have to weaken him down first. It's a strategy he's used with Kandori, Nyx and Pandora.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have the more powerful all inclusive spells in that field than those that would come after him in his arsenal. However, his do last longer and he'll use what he has. Vishnu holds his wand into the air, waving it before sending off a spell.

"Tarunda!" Time to start lowering his attack power.
