[Massive Infiltration Plot] || [Semi-Open]

Characters: All the characters who signed up for this infiltration, too many to write them all here. Characters who stay behind and do not infiltrate can tag into the mingle thread.
Setting: The Cafeteria, then the Elevator's Shaft and finally the Administrative Floors. The 29th of July, in the morning.
Format: Action most likely.

Summary: A month ago Ganondorf planned an infiltration to go and pay a visit to Riki's floor-- Given what has happened these last weeks, the 'Evil Alliance' has accepted to allow Enoch and the people he gathered to use the infiltration in order to do their own thing. Namely, retrieve scientific instruments from Jason's laboratory, so as to study the Collar Fluid. The infiltration will begin on the 1st floor, the Cafeteria.

The first thread is a traditional mingle thread, happening before the infiltration and briefing begin; anyone can tag into it. The second thread is a quick briefing before the infiltration starts, where Enoch and Ganondorf will explain to everyone what to do and what to expect in case they don't already know. Then there are the seven group threads, one for each individual team infiltrating.

The OOC post is here for more information. If you have signed-up but didn't pick a group yet, please do so here. While the infiltration takes place, the villains who stayed behind are unleashing a distraction on the tower and those who don't go.

Warnings: Administrative floors, danger, death, horror. Anyone tagging here is probably going to die, or at the very least meet with a terrible fate.

Move over.

[Because yeah, with all the shit he has seen here and in the TV World? ...This is kind of near the top of the list, even if he doesn't show horror at the sight.

Izanami was more startling than this.

He turns slightly, having a bad feeling either way they could go - and he doesn't like the idea of going right into the six arms of Jason's true self. Plus, they need to buy time for the others. So in channeling the first bond of the social link that belonged to the Emperor Arcana, he puts all of his weight into slamming the door off its hinges.]

[The door gives and breaks, sending them into a redlit hallway with a set of stairs going down. Jason clears the desk rather than walk around it, though one hand reaches back to swipe at the computer and alter some settings.

The computerized voice speaks again: Area sealed.]

But I'll always know this place better than you.

[Jason's uppermost arms reach down to peel back the skin of his second set, revealing countless scalpals just beneath the skin. He whips two of them at Xion and Yu with unerring, supernatural accuracy. Unless they move quickly, he will pierce their feet through to the floor.]

[It's a good thing that he's used to having to dodge quickly, and since he was still half-looking in Jason's direction through his peripherals, he was able to see the action and-

holy shit his arms are scalpels okay no this is not good this is anything but good-

He grabs Xion by the arm and, despite his newly healed elbow joint protesting the action, drags her with as he heads through the doorway.]

Then it's a risk we'll have to take.

[Operation: Flee through the hallway and stairs, it is a go.]

[Xion stumbles back when the door gives, and only Yu grabbing her and dragging her with keeps her from falling entirely, and likely getting her feet impaled. Even so it takes a few seconds for her to properly get her feet under her and start matching Yu's stride. Once she does though, she does her best to make up for whatever that cost them, taking the steps two or three at a time.]

[The stairs lead down quite a long way, and with the red lights the only illumination it's quite dim. Jason hurls scalpels with pinpoint accuracy down at them, but it's clear he's aiming to wound and incapacitate and not to kill.

The staircase opens into a morgue filled with dead monster corpses.]

[It's a scary stretch of time - an indefinite one that is filled only with shifting stairs, red lights dancing around them, and an occasional icicle of red light on silver flashing past and embedding itself in the ground as they pass.

The opening out into the morgue itself is so sudden it startles Xion, whose feet were expecting more stairs, and for a moment she careens wildly, before pushing up again.

She's forced to slow somewhat now that they're in true unknown territory, to not crash into anything. But still, she tugs Yu's hand, trying to get away from the foot of the stairs. She glances around quickly as she does so, looking for exits or hiding places.]

[Aside from the various tables filled with dead bodies, some covered with sheets and some not, there are body freezers and a door at the other end of the room, though it's impossible to tell if it's locked or not.

The scalpels increase in speed--it's taking into account their general movement speed, and so they'll have to actively dodge scalpels in order to avoid getting hit.]

[Xion notices the shift in speet and lets go of Yu's hand to try to compensate. Unfortunately, it's too hard to see, and eventually, one of them finds their mark. There's a piercing pain in her right foot, one made only worse by her continued momentum being brought to a tearing halt.

She screams in pain as she falls, her ankle twisting painfully as her foot remains pinned to the ground. She looks up at Yu, knowing he won't listen but having to try anyway]

Go!

[Yu'd done well to dodge the scalpels, despite a few close calls he had while making a break for the door. Yet when he heard the scream, he looked back to see Xion fall.]

Xion!

[There was no way he could abandon anyone. Well sure, he could just slam his weight into the door again, but he'd made a promise to two people - two friends - to protect the younger girl. There was no way he could just abandon her...!

That's when he felt something pierce his shoulder. But that's fine; it was nothing like the elevator; like her curse...

He rips it out, throwing it right at Jason's face without another word. He wasn't going to get caught without a fight.]

[Jason blocks the doorway, now, and whips scalpels at Yu as he returns. Getting near to Xion is a guarantee of getting struck. He whips one of the scalpels at the one Yu threw and deflects it--his accuracy remains pinpoint.]

At least you've chosen a convenient location for this.

[Panting hard from pain and exhaustion, Xion reaches down to try and pull at the scalpel pinning her foot down. It's painful, especially with her foot still pinned there, and for the scalpel to have stopped her momentum entirely it's embedded pretty deeply into the floor.

When her efforts prove fruitless she glances over her shoulder at the approaching Jason. Her mind is half-hazy from pain, but after a moment she stretches out to pick up the Great Fairy Sword from where she'd dropped it, ignoring the pain in her foot as she moves.

As soon as she grabs it, she turns as best as she can and holds the sword out between herself and Jason. It's a desperate move, but it's all she can do.]

[Yu dodges the best he can, ignoring the little cuts he does receive and unsheathes the fake sword at his waist.]

Wouldn't be the first time.

[There were plenty of places he could think of right now, but he stands his ground, keeping his distance from Xion because he at least trusts her not to go down without a fight.

Man he wishes he could have grabbed that darknut sword right about now.

Sword in one hand, another scalpel in another, he throws the latter at one of the shoulder joints.]

[Again Jason deflects with scalpels of his own--of course, Jason has more hands to work with, and he puts all of them to use now. Scalpels go flying in multitudes as Jason again works to keep the two of them pinned down. Literally, ideally.]

[There's little Xion can do to dodge, her foot trapped as it is. And she's not nimble enough with the Great Fairy Sword to deflect much of the scalpels coming her way, though she tries her best.

In the end though, her other foot is soon likewise pinned to the ground, making her let out a scream of pain. And finally another lance of pain as another scalpel lodges itself in her upper arm makes her drop the sword and grab at it with another yell.]

(ooc: I am going to murder RNG why does it keep giving Yu fours or less)

[Yu, meanwhile, can dodge and deflect most of the scalpels that come his way. He does, however, flinch when he feels a scalpel go deep into his left elbow joint - to think he'd just gotten that fixed, too.]

You know... you looked a lot more formidable in those pods.

[He said, trying to cover up the pain caused by the scalpel still stuck in his elbow. Yu then swings with the right, aiming to slice with his blade something - anything above his own shoulder level.]

[Jason closes the distance himself--he takes the strike and grunts at the pain as it pierces one of his arms and sends a few more scalpels flying, but his arm twists in on itself and goes to work repairing the damage on its own.]

That's enough witty one-liners from you.

[Jason can move very quickly when he wants--he grabs for Yu's neck with his two longest arms.]

[Xion's still wincing painfully, only to look up see Jason going past her, and it's no secret who he's aiming for. Given that there's only one other person in the room and he's behind her.]

Yu!

[Defying and ignoring the pain in her feet and left arm, she reaches around for the dropped Fairy's Sword. Once in hand, she swings it around again, aiming to swing it into one of Jason's legs. She may not be fast enough, but one of her friends is in danger. She's not going to do nothing.]

[Well what do you know... it DID hit him. Yu blinks, a bit of a smug smirk playing at the corners of his lips before he suddenly finds a hand at his neck.

He reaches up, trying to pull the hands off of him.]

[The Fairy's Sword seems to melt against Jason's leg as the film it's made of bends around Jason and refuses to strike him. Meanwhile, he squeezes down on Yu's neck, cutting off circulation and bloodflow to knock him out. The grip is like iron, and one of Jason's other hands comes up to tug Yu's arms back and away roughly.

Two of Jason's other arms go to Xion, to grab both her arms and keep her still.]

Did you both have fun?

[Xion ignores Jason's question, trying and failing to keep at least her good right arm out of Jason's grip. She struggles furiously, glaring at Jason with tears of anger and pain leaking out of her eyes once more.]

Leave him alone! Ah-!

[A particular wrench makes pain flare in her scalpel-impaled arm, and she sags, closing her eyes and panting.]

[Yu doesn't respond to the question, attempting to at least give a good kick or two before he loses consciousness.

'Xi...on... I'm sor-'

No, not going to finish that thought. Because at this rate he has someone else to apologize to and it isn't the one who just rendered him unconscious.]

[Jason pulls a table forward, shoves the monster's corpse off of it, and puts Yu onto it, strapping him down. After that, he deals with the still conscious Xion--he grabs and yanks, ignoring the inevitable damage to her feet that will result, and puts her on another table after shoving the dead monster off of it, strapping her down as well. Once he's sure neither will be moving, he moves, goes to a panel near the door, and presses a few buttons in rapid succession.

The glamour returns. Yu and Xion, however, still have their abilities completely disabled. Jason's grin is a little on the wild side for him, and he pulls a scalpel out of his jacket pocket.]

Now, let's see about dealing with you two. You [he gestures sharply at Xion with his scalpel] are the main cause of this little chase, of course. But you did seem to want me to leave your friend here alone.

[He glances down at Yu, thoughtful and, just slightly, manic.]

Alright--I'll be merciful.

[Jason stabs his scalpel down into Yu's throat, piercing the artery there and letting the blood pour out. Yu will bleed to death.]

[Xion struggles to some degree, though there's little she can actually do at this point, especially as she's strapped down. The abrupt return to normality - which is to say the glamour - catches her by surprise, and she tries to summon her Keyblade, or cast Cureaga, or something but of course it's to no avail.

In the end, she's left watching as Jason approaches them both, decides how to deal with them. She doesn't even react as Jason blames her - she'd do it again in a heartbeat. But then, he stabs Yu, and Xion screams involuntarily.]

No!

[After that, she's very still, almost horrified, watching Yu as he bleeds out. She knows it probably could have been a lot worse, considering Jason, but... a friend just died. And she could do nothing.]

There, that wasn't so bad. [He walks over to Xion now and uses the still bloody scalpel to cut through what remains of her clothing and expose her chest.]

Now, what about you?

[He traces a thin red line down her chest--he cuts just the skin, and no deeper, as he thinks.]

[She barely notices him approaching her - she's still staring horrorstruck at Yu's body - until he starts cutting at her clothing, at which point her eyes snap back onto him, turning venomous.

The scalpel sliding down through her skin makes her groan and bite her lip against the pain. As soon as it stops, however, she finds she has only one last thing to say.]

Do.... whatever you like. ...I'll keep fighting. ...We'll all keep fighting.

[Fuck your learned helplessness.]
