15corpses | And The Clocks Ticks Again

[You feel as if your body has not moved for a long time. The ache is dull as you can feel your limbs creak and move, trying to shake off any potential rust that has seeped into your bones. And maybe actual rust if you're Proto, sorry buddy. With eyes blinking out any tiny crusties from your corners, you may remember that you were trying to escape.

Escape? But where to in this hellhole? There's no exits from this abyss...right?

You remember screaming from someone...one of the strangers who showed up in the car, yes? She was speaking to her friend about something-]

Did you hear me, Seven?! I said-what in the bloody hells happened here?! AND WHO STOLE MY TIME FREEZING POWER AND USED IT ON US?!

[Yotsuyu is livid, screeching to anyone who hears. Anyone might be confused as to what she means by 'time freezing power' but looking up at the sky, there is a reason for her to be concerned: There are blue streaks and the bright light of Logos, but they are starting to die like embers, absorbed into the black.

There had been a war; the Amaranthine Conjunction doesn't let go of its possessions easily, even beyond its borders. But this is too far for it; this is not its territory and it never will be. Its Law has faltered. It's light is useless. The power is retreating, forced back from the black thing that pervades the sky. Just what happened to make this happen? Who is powerful enough to freeze everyone including two strong Angels?

It matters not because the clock is still ticking against you all...and the storm is not letting up.]

Oh piss off you ungrateful little whelp!

[There's also a rude gesture involving a finger aimed at her but that's because she is driving and needs to focus on that!]

Oh, but I am grateful. I learned so much from your game, after all!

[The wings flare.]

Or perhaps you regret your own involvement in all of this?

Regrets? Ha!

[Bitch, try harder to get under her skin. The only reason why the kid isn't getting rammed is because it would make Seven upset.]

If I had those, I doubt I would have met some idiots who are good to me.

Those idiots are just as hopeless as you are. They won't win, and neither will you, I'm afraid!

And you just sealed your own fate, I'm afraid. You do not see it, do you?

[A dark chuckle.]

They're a lot more resourceful than you give them credit for. Your underestimation of them will be your downfall.

Spoken like a true hero. Deluded and blind to the truth of things.

Keep that cold comfort if you can. The trap has already been laid.

Hero? Nay, I never considered myself one nor will I ever.

[But she's concerned. What trap? Unless...]

...you planned for this, didn't you?

[s m i l e]

You two notwithstanding, everything is going exactly as we hoped.

Hells-!

[And yelling to the others behind her:]

Watch yourselves!

[technically this is his fault, so he's cringing internally. Just a little, though.]

Ah well. You're about as much trouble as I expected, but your universe is still in one piece, so I still think I did a good job.

So, little miss hiss, you want to turn the tables on us? Would it be a game we're familiar with, or not?

I think it’s already apparent who has the upper hand here.

[Head tilt.]

Maybe, maybe not! Not that you will be around to witness it, of course.

I'm not invited?? You're even more cold blooded than I thought!

I am so sorry.

[Not even remotely sorry.]

Tell you what, though. I’ll let you go with a parting gift.

Come onnnnnn. You and I both know that all you ever give out are snakes and ... bigger snakes!

So nah, I'm going to be staying here. Can you actually do anything about it? Are you a demon now, instead of just a composer witch?

I am what I have always been.

[...wait what is that flash of purple out of the corner of his eye-]

Voracious!

[is it an arrow]

[yup

And is forming right under Seven, popping right from the darkness]

And DIRTY!

[He definitely saw that coming enough to dodge it, so now he's out of the seat, levitating. And pissed. And reaching for his cell phone. He probably could have stopped that attack with another attack, but like hell is he going to fire into his car]

[And that is when Seven sees a bunch of vector arrows screen under the car. As arrows accumulate, the car shoots away from Seven.

Welp. Her car now.]

[Reaching his hand out dramatically for his car as it blasts off]

!!!

[Guess who's still in it? It sure is Yoyo! And boy she's not happy because not your car, kid and trying to take control.]

I hope you have your seatbelt on~

I hope you brought a rubber suit!

[...because yeah the image of Jupiter is projecting now and he is calling down a big fast line of lightning bolts on her]

Edited (apparently black jupiter is MANY bolt ) 2019-12-04 00:05 (UTC)

Vector Arrow!

[She throws her arrows to respond in kind to the lightning.]

I hope you're not disappointed!

[Wait, she has her phone with her, right? With one hand on the device and the other on the steering wheel, the Composer lets out a loud yell of frustration.]

You are really becoming a nuisance! Sorry if this scratches the car but we have more important things!

[It begins small, coming around the arrows as a faint glow of white appears. But they soon become bigger and longer as they form into beams, attacking the arrows all at once, to shake off the control and get her back into it.]
