STRIKE DOWN

?] Ashrykiuel, darling.
?] Are our guests captured and housed in their respective chambers?

A] N... No.

?] Hm...
?] And where are they now, Ashrykiuel?

A} ...

{The Lady turns around and sees her son being held at gunpoint.}

S] Sorry, lady.
S] But I'm afraid he's ours.
S] ...Now listen to me.
S] If you're not getting out of the way...
S] I'm blowing him to pieces!

?] Ha ha ha...
?] How cruel and barbaric.
?] Sure.

J] All we want is to go back home.
J] We do not wish to harm your son!...

?] So you want to return to your "home"?
?] The "home" over which your cruel leaders rule?
?] The "home" which is devoid of happiness? 
?] ...devoid of peace?
?] In the dark is where you belong, the child of Echidna.
?] Here, you are free to do as you please.
?] Here, you are free to have anything for yourselves.
?] Your every wish...
?] Is a darkner's command.

J] Our world may be grey and harsh...
J] ...But we can't leave it as is.
J] We have to fight and endure to make a change, no matter how small.

?] Struggle will get you nowhere.
?] And as I have mentioned, you may not leave.
?] I can repeat this as many times as you want.
 
S] Well we tried. Sorry, kid.
S] ...Good thinking with the hostage plan though!

A] Yeah...
{ Simon lets Ashry go. }

?] You are easy to see through.
?] Now when you have given up on leaving...
?] What would be your first order, lightners?

S] Oh we're not giving up yet.
{ Simon, Jerome and Neo draw their weapons! }

?] I see. 
?] If a 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘵 is what you wish for...
?] I HAVE NOTHING TO DO BUT OBLIGE!

32 - Catharsis: THE LADY

{ BATTLE! }
{ Abandoned by Lightners, MEMORIEL is desperate to make them stay by her side. }
{ She cannot be reasoned with, but don't give up. Push on. }
\\\
T] Why can you not see the truth, Lightners?
T] This world was built to your command, shaped to your comfort...
T] And you DARE to leave us once again?
T] Well, I'm afraid it doesn't quite matter anymore...
T] Soon the 𝗡𝗕𝗟𝗭𝗔 will finish its 𝗰𝗽𝘇𝗽𝗮.
T] The being that constructs the Gateways using its will. 
T] Sacred Gateways, whose doors will blanket out the light, leading to restoration of OUR purpose...
T] Hahaha... Don't you see how futile your struggle really is...?
T] Soon, there won't be anywhere left for you to go...
T] And you will have to stay with ME!
T] That way you won't be able to leave me EVER AGAIN.
T] Now, give up! I know what's best for you!

[ A Hooligan Girl ]
] Hm...? A student with bad manners...?
] ... Ah, I remember now! HER!
] Stirrin' up trouble again, huh? I did put her in time out last time, gyahah!
] Hm, well I suppose she never learned her lesson...
] Wouldn't hurt if you humbled her in her games and tricks a little bit, right?
] With all her claims of being chosen by destiny in mind...
] Let punishment fit the crime an' all of that malarkey!
] Alright, here's some chalk.
{ RED CHALK was added to your KEY ITEMS.)
] If doing discipline is on your mind, find the other two.
] You know how to get white, right? Getting RED, GREEN, BLUE and all?
] Gyahaha, kiddin', kiddin'! You're adults, you know the jist!
] Good luck!! Tell me how it goes later!

Z] I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN... I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN... I WILL NEVE-
Z] HUH!?!
Z] AND WHAT ARE YA, THREE?? A CLOWN, A CLERK AND...

N] STATE YOUR PURPOSE HERE.

Z] PURPOSE? PURPOSE!? YOU'RE ASKIN' ME, TIN CAN!?
Z] I GOT A-A-ALL THE PURPOSE. ALL OF IT.

S] Drowning in "purpose"?
{ Simon reads the text on the board. }
S] Certainly doesn't look like it.
S] Someone's been very nasty, I'm assuming.

S] Here's your chalk.

Z] FINALLY.
Z] TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH.
Z] CHEERS!

{ Izu throws the chalk, then swallows it in the air. }

S] Weren't you supposed to write with that?

Z] NOPE, AND I NEVER SAID I WOULD. DUMBASS.
Z] ANYWAYS, YA HAVE ANY MORE?

S] Uh, no.

J] You said if we'd bring you your chalk, we'd be friends.

Z] FRIENDS. RIGHT.
Z] IS THAT ALL FRIENDS DO? FETCH CHALK FOR EACH OTHER?

S] Hey, it was on your terms, not ours.

{ Izu steps back and grins. }

Z] PERHAPS WE SHOULD GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER FIRST.
Z] HOW ABOUT WE PLAY A LITTLE GAME?

S] ...
J] Sure, sure. What are the rules?

{ BATTLE! }

{ CHECK }
Izu-ryū
{ The dragon. The beast that crosses out hope. }
{ A stubborn malignance makes her untouchable from all sides. Your words will falter and your attacks will fail. }

—

{ Izu-ryū took crawl. }

[ You have run into an IZZUE ]
{ Enfeebling. Your party will receive a new debuff each turn. }

—

{ You find yourself surrounded by a writhing deluge of molten glass. }

{ Nauseating. The PARTY's order got jumbled up. }

—

{ The stagnant air is pierced by determination. }

Z] YOU’RE HOLDING OUT.
J] Oh, come on, you didn’t think we’d fall THAT easily, did you?
Z] HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Z] I HAVEN’T PLAYED A GAME FOR THIS LONG SINCE–
Z] –ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH “DRAGON BLAZERS”?
J] ...hm. Nope, can’t say I’ve heard of it. What’s it about?

{ Malnutritious. Your GUTS will fill at an impaired rate. }

–

{ Izu-ryū sneers and snarls and plunges her head with loud cries. }

Z] THE FIRST GAME WAS NOTHING SPECIAL. AT LEAST, NOT UNTIL THE END.
Z] AFTER THE DRAGON’S RAMPAGE, THE AGONISTS PURSUED IT TO ITS INCARNADINE THRONE, SEEKING RECOMPENSE.
Z] KNOWING ITS STRENGTH, THEY MADE NO ATTEMPT TO FELL IT IN COMBAT–
Z] INSTEAD, THROUGH WIT AND RIGOR, THEY CHARMED IT WITH WORDS AND SENTIMENTALITY.
Z] AND SO THE DRAGON’S WILL, UPON WHICH SO MANY HAD BEEN BROKEN, HAD FINALLY CHANGED.

{ Putrescent. Attacks will cause additional, decaying damage. }

—

{ The skies run black with sordid conflagrations. }

Z] IN THE SECOND GAME, THE DRAGON ITSELF WAS AN AGONIST.
Z] IT WAS LOYAL, AT TIMES BENIGN, WITH ONLY A VESTIGIAL FEROCITY.
Z] YET FOR THOSE WHO DARED TO LOOK, THERE REMAINED A PATH FOR THE DRAGON TO RECLAIM ITS INFERNAL THRONE.
Z] NOT THROUGH DIPLOMACY OR SOOTHSAYING, BUT THROUGH THE ARRANT SLAUGHTER OF ITS LEARNED COMPLACENCE.
Z] HOPE, IF YOU WILL.

{ Carnassial. Izu-ryū stole your ITEMs. }

—

{ The world lay all within her claws. }

Z] AND THEN THERE WAS THE THIRD GAME.
Z] SO IT HAD BEEN THAT THE EVENTS OF ITS PREDECESSORS HELD NO SWAY.
Z] SO IT HAD BEEN THAT THE WORLD WAS TO PROMPTLY CRUMBLE OVER PILLARS OF DARKNESS.
Z] THE OTHER AGONISTS WHO HAD RELIED ON THE LEYLINES AND THE LATENT MAGIC WERE ENTOMBED AND REUNITED WITH THE PRIMORDIAL ABYSS WITH SCARCELY A CRY.
Z] THE DRAGON HELD FAST AND ROARED.
Z] IT SHROUDED ITSELF IN VISCERAL EFFULGENCE AND DOVE INTO THE STARLESS NIGHT.

{ Fulgorous. Attacks will remain cloaked until they are close to the SOUL. }

—

{ The crackles of bloodslaked embers cannot drown out Izu-ryū’s guttural bellowing. }

J] ...
J] And the fourth game?
Z] IT’S STILL BEING PLAYED.

{ Phantasmagoric. Attacks will strike at unnatural speeds. }

—

{ Jerome looked up at Izu-ryū’s snaking body...
He let out a bemused chuckle. }

J] ...Guess I’ve gotta ask what makes you so lucky.
J] Even... even if you’re this “dragon”, why do you get to be so authoritative? Why do you act like your actions don’t have consequences?
Z] BECAUSE THE DRAGON’S TALE DID NOT END. 
Z] BECAUSE THE DRAGON DID NOT WANT IT TO END.
Z] AND SO THE DRAGON’S SCALES REFLECTED THE TALE’S INSECURITIES UNTO ITSELF.
Z] AND SO THE DRAGON’S BREATH BECAME THE ARBITRATOR OF SEQUENCE AND CAUSALITY.
Z] AND SO THE DRAGON WAS THE ONE WHO KEPT SPINNING THE WORLD AROUND.
Z] ...CLOWN. THAT GRIN OF YOURS IS STARTING TO LOOK FORCED.
J] Ahh... but how could that be, when you’ve left us with no choice but to laugh?

{ Manic. Izu-ryū’s RAGE JUIC is flowing beyond limit. }

—


{ Izu-ryū coils and ascends. }

N] I AM DETECTING ANOMALOUS ENERGY SIGNATURES EMANATING FROM THE ENEMY.
N] BRACE FOR IMMINENT ADVERSITY. SOMETHING TERRIBLE IS COMING.

{ Rancorous. You steeled yourself in preparation for SANGUINE BUSTER. }

—

{ SANGUINE BUSTER is raining down... }
[ Spam Z to PRAY! ]



GAME OVER

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE REACHED
AN END?
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE
ABOVE THIS?
DO YOU STILL BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN
SAVE THEM?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
FORGET IT

PEOPLE LIKE YOU
JUST HAVE IT SO EASY
