Not actually, guy is actually just inmortal and since the data of the incidents that almost destroyed the earth on strange journey was never retrieved as Arthur made sure to take that to his grave on the original ending, humanity ended up making the same mistakes and falling for the same incident over and over again since they could never learn what they did wrong to cause the mess on the 1st place.

So he became inmortal and started doing the job alone alongside arthur to make sure humanity had a future.

I wonder how many times you've unknowingly scared the fuck out of Yakuza that you've walked by.

392: Sudden
  • Threadmarks
    • [X] "Which one?!"

    "Hold on, let me guess!" You unconsciously put an arm in front of Kazuya, "It's the Disciples, right? Or are you talking about the Fiends?"

    "There are Fiends here...?" Kazuya asks quietly.

    "I'm afraid Yumi is correct on both fronts." Stephen looks at Kazuya, "They are... Less powerful than your chance encounter, but they're still threats nonetheless. As for the Disciples, they most likely won't invade immediately."

    Kazuya breathes a sigh of relief. "Good. Now, who are the Disciples?"

    "They are a group that is obsessed with "birthing their Messiah" to protect them from the end times." Stephen paraphrases, "Yumi has someone they want."

    "Someone they want?" He repeats.

    "How about I explain that tidbit tomorrow?" You ask. "We'll talk more about other things, too."

    He nods his head, respecting your wishes. "Right. Thank you for the heads up, Stephen."

    Stephen smiles. "Of course. While I am here, Yumi, do you have anything else to say?"

    "Yes, I do." You scowl a little, "What's with the notes on me?"

    Stephen sighs, "You found those, then? Very well, I will explain. I would like for you to survive. Information is a key factor in such an endeavor. Watching you, and how you develop your abilities, will improve your chances of survival drastically." He adjusts his glasses, not breaking eye contact. "I apologize for not informing you sooner, but I had a great many things to take care of."

    You...

    ...No good, you can't read him. In this situation, you're just gonna have to take him at his word.

    You huff in frustration.

    "Yumi, are you busy right now?" Kazuya asks.

    "I was just walking around and seeing what's what. Why?" Your eyebrow raises as you cross your arms.

    "I would like to spar with you."

    Stephen smiles, backing up his wheelchair. Cerberus backs away as well.

    • We are totally going to get our asses kicked, but worth. Remember, this is a spar, and since Cerberus backed up we probably won't be summoning.

    [] Plan: Frozen Fang!
    -[] "Sure, I could use a fight."
    -[] When you're both ready, Iado into a Blizzard Slash, and try fusing it with Fang Breaker. Ensure that blocking your strike will be easier than countering.
    --[] Break off immediately and keep alert, you know he's fast. Instead of watching his movements, watch his body language and prepare for his actions and reactions. Probe his reflexes if you can. Lead him so his best options are to your benefit.

    Would have used Rampage, but I don't wanna leave the kind of opening that would make. Every time I imagine that scene it has him hitting Yumi either in between her strikes, or during the wind down.

    Edit. Here's a different version that combines Agilao

    This won't work because Fusion Spells cannot use multiple components with the same element, and Sword Skills are all half physical (bar possibly Piercing Slash, which is only listed as being Almighty).

    How would that create more of an opening than any other form of attack?

    I'm pretty sure the Quest mechanics do not work that way.

    That depends on how @TremendousMilk3 interprets it. We don't have rulings on that interaction with Sword Skills. I am willing to change it to another spell though.

    Right then. In the meantime, I've made my own plan.

    [X] Plan Burning Light
    -[X] "Sure. I could use a fight."
    -[X] When you're both ready, Iado into a Scorching Slash, and try fusing it with Hamaon. Ensure that blocking your strike will be easier than countering.
    --[X] Break off immediately and keep alert, you know he's fast. Instead of watching his movements, watch his body language and prepare for his actions and reactions. Probe his reflexes if you can. Lead him so his best options are to your benefit.

    Basically Isiri's plan, just changing what we're hitting Kazuya with to something that I know is actually possible. Aiming for Penance because I'm hoping that the fact that we've done it before will make it easier to do it again and it costs less MP than Celestial Severance.

    Alright, made a different version that uses Agilao instead. Its 4 mp cheaper that Penance and a fusion we haven't seen before.

    ???: Tartarus
  • Apocrypha
    • Another group of Shadows down. Junpei pumps his fist.

    "Goodnight!" He shouts, "Great job, Yuki!"

    "Objective complete." Aigis says to herself, "Standing down."

    Yukari wipes her forehead, bow in her other hand. "Those ones were tough...! It's a good thing you had Lightning!"

    You shrug. Several cards appear before you, face down.

    Shuffle time, huh?

    Absentmindedly, you pick one...

    The Devil...?

    All of the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.

    "Everyone! There's something on your floor!" Fuuka calls out, slightly panicked, "Get out of there!"

    "What, like the Reaper?" Junpei cracks his neck, "Yuki already thrashed that Shadow!"

    "No, this isn't...!"

    Several gunshots echo through the halls, and you all turn to try and find their origin.

    Then, you decide.

    "Look for the stairs!" You order, picking an unexplored direction and running.

    "Affirmative!" Aigis replies, heading in the opposite direction.

    "Run, Stupei!" Yukari barks, rushing off.

    You don't hear what Junpei shoots back. Just find the stairs, Makoto.

    That's when you hear something, just down the hall.

    "GUNSLIN--"

    "SWORD--"

    "ROYA--"

    "TRICK--"

    Whatever it is, it's gaining on you.

    You run.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    You stand, dumbfounded. Everyone just ditched you! What the hell?

    You grimace, hefting your sword off of the ground. Stairs it is, then...

    "Let's see..." You say to yourself, "...If Yuki went that way... And Yuka-Tan when over there... And Aigis bolted over here..." You rub your chin, "... I'll go this way!" You decide, beginning to walk.

    "What's the worst that could happen? I run into some Shadows--?"

    "SWORDMASTER!" A voice you don't recognize calls out from behind you. Did Strega get a new member or something?!

    You spin around, and just barely block this guy's massive sword!

    "So, you're my competition?" He asks, smile plain on his face, "Let's do this quick!"

    Before you can say anything in response, he breaks away, drawing two--!

    393: Duel: Vs. Kazuya
  • Threadmarks
    • [X] Plan Burning Light

    You smile, showing your teeth. "Sure, I could use a fight!" You respond, already reaching for Dawn.

    Kazuya takes his sword from his back, and holds it in front of him. "Hold nothing back. I can take it."

    Well, since he's offering...!

    (YUMI ATTACKS: SCORCHING SLASH: 17)
    (FUSION POTENTIAL: HAMAON: 19)
    OOC: You've already done this Fusion Spell before, so it's a little easier.

    You slash with all your might, trying to recast that blue fire sword move you did!

    It's working!!

    (KAZUYA DEX CHECK: 7+5)
    (PENANCE: ((3+10+18+1)+(7+36))•1.2)
    (TOTAL: 90)

    He doesn't block.

    Your eyes widen.

    He can't block in time.

    Dawn connects. The air goes silent.

    Kazuya stumbles back, shaking off the holy flames. He doesn't look injured.

    "...Good hit." He mutters, "My turn."

    Kazuya rushes you down as you try to process what just happened.

    (KAZUYA ATTACKS: 13+2)
    (AGL CHECK: 14+5-2)

    You snap back to the moment, rolling backwards as his sword whooshes overhead. He grimaces, readying another attack.

    You might be able to beat him to the punch!

    (YUMI INT ROLL: 20+5)

    Hell no, you can't! You've seen how quick he is! What were you thinking?!

    You just got caught up in the moment. No more mistakes like that. You guard his overhead swing.

    (KAZUYA STR ROLL: 16+5)
    VS
    (YUMI STR ROLL: 8+4)

    You severely underestimated his strength. Kazuya very easily breaks your guard, causing you to stumble back.

    You've been hit before, and even been hit a few times after you got that weird resistance, but you don't think you've ever stumbled like this. You huff, refocusing.

    Kazuya holds his sword in one hand. He only swings with both hands on his weapon. "This is just a spar." He says, "Don't push yourself too hard, Yuka."
