A dark storm bellowed over the large medieval fortress in front of them. An oppressive force seemed to weigh down over the other although our group should not be unfamiliar with that by now. The draw bridge was currently up and the courtyard was filled with various denizens that were corrupted beyond looking normal. Those must be the missing person cases Pichu mentioned as they just seemed to wander outside the castle. They probably had to go through them too in they wanted into the castle proper to see where this weapon that might of driven them to this may be.

If they wanted to go for a more indirect approach there was a steep fall into what looked like an underground waterway. Of course they would need to descend their fall a bit or just take it. Either way Kairi looked over the gates from the safety of a nearby hill as she waited for whoever else Pichu would send on this mission. All this darkness over a sword? It was hard to believe if there wasn't twisted people right there... They needed to find the source anyway and it had to be inside that castle. Felt kind of like when Sora went through Hollow Bastion to rescue her... but this is no time to dwell on the past. She glanced towards the moat in thought as she waited.

(Everyone! You may choose to go all out and forcibly take the castle or go more subtly. If you go for the waterway you will need to pass a DEX check to break your fall or CON to endure it. If you have a way to fly, glide, or otherwise break your fall you may use that in place of a roll. The Waterway will be more skill focused while the direct way will be more combat focused.)

Woah, this storm was really picking up. It was fortunate that Madotsuki had brought her umbrella, how special was this umbrella? Nothing, it was just an ordinary umbrella that Madotsuki had taken with her. It wasn't related to her dreams, she soon arrived carrying it as she stood near Kairi. She wasn't saying anything as she looked up towards the Drawbridge that prevented the girls from entering.

Before looking down towards the waterway. It looks as though this was going to be there way in.

Although, Madotsuki wasn't going to go down there just yet. She still needed to wait for Vergil to arrive, and to see what Kairi was going to do once he arrives. After all, she was basically the mission leader for this mission, and she didn't want to make a mistake.

Well, Madotsuki already brought one mistake.

She failed to bring a lock with her to stab people with, to help Kairi feel more like she was back in her own world for this mission.

She was the keyblade one right?

SLASH! With a Loud  Swing, A Portal opened up a few meters away from the Designated meeting hill, as Vergil stepped through the Portal he had just cleaved through, As he stepped onto the Grassy field and looked up onto the Oncoming Storm. "...A Storm is indeed approaching. Hm." Vergil took a mild smirk as he basked in the feeling that was the pressure that castle provided. It reminded him of the many battles in the depth's of hell he had fought through, And as a result, Drove his demon blood to broil as he Adjusted the Cravat upon his neck, Tucking it into his Chest armor, And began his walk towards the hill.

"...Lets see just how powerful that sword really is." Vergil says to himself, As he would approach the Hill, Giving only Minor glances upon Kairi and Madotsuki. Another poultry glance upon the Landscape gave Vergil the rundown of the Locale. The Waterway down below made Vergil grimace a bit in disapproval. Why do that when the very gates of hell await there challenge??

"...I see no reason to take such a lowly path. We should let our enemy know we are here...After all-- What fun is there in hiding away underneath, When we can truly show how pitiful he is against us?" Vergil would ask, Giving a smirk at the idea of going all out on the Monster's Army and Dominating him, Fully and without remorse, As Vergil places a hand upon the hilt of his weapon. "...Or atleast, Against me."

Vergil was firmly pushing for charging the Drawbridge and storming the castle.

The gas clouds were stained red as the moon failed to pierce their veil. Kairi just looked at the weather that she was not sure was unusual or not. Soon though her fellow investigators arrived. She looked towards the courtyard. Virgil seemed adamantly against sneaking in and while she wasn't usually one to take a stealthy route... The fact the citizens were corrupted and guarding the gates was enough to give her pause... Still, there is no telling if they can bring them back right now.

She looked at the raised drawbridge for a moment in thought after that... They can't get in that way right now but... "... Okay. We'll go right in then. Problem is the bridge. If we cause some noise in the courtyard it might seem like a challenge and they'll lower it. If not I could try another way to get us in while you keep them busy..." Kairi offered. "There is a gathering right down that hill. Let's start by getting them to notice us," Kairi suggested.

(There is a crowd of Minor Malfested on the outside of the Drawbridge. You can draw attention to yourselves by starting a fight there. Roll an accuracy roll with any attack. The first attack deals the roll's number + the attack's damage to the "Noise Gauge". Later Noise checks work like damage does normally. Reach 200% and the drawbridge will lower. You can still take the waterway if you wish.)

Noise Gauge: 0%

Madotsuki remained quiet as Vergil and Kairi described what they were going to do in order to get into the castle. Madotsuki was more in line with Vergil's plan, while Kairi's plan sounded like something she could do herself while her and Vergil take out the crowd that's below the trio.

"You probably just want to go in through the draw bridge because it'll make your clothes wet." Madotsuki pointed out to Vergil, but she shrugged.

"But I'm fine with stabbing some minions, I hate getting wet too." She took out a sharp knife before looking at the bottom of the hill.

While she let Kairi decided on what to do. Madotsuki glared at Vergil to attack first. Since she didn't want to attack first in case Vergil pulled out at the last second and left to help Kairi, and then leave Madotsuki alone to take out the crowd by herself.

If Vergil was going to make some noise, then he's going to do it first before Madotsuki herself makes some noise.

She put away her umbrella in the process.

"You first." She said, making it obvious now that she wanted Vergil to attack first.

"...Getting my Clothes Wet??" Vergil asks, Looking to Madotsuki. "Are you serious??" He would ask, Now turning around to give the Smaller girl his full attention with an expression of Disbelief, before he sighed, Taking a deep breath and looking back to the Oncoming army. He looked back between the Two...Kairi would work on lowering the Bridge, He would attack, and...This Girl would do something, Apparently. Vergil had half a mind--....But, He would instead sigh, and smile. "...Fine. Then there will be all the more for me." Vergil would say, Before jumping down to approach the Malfested.

Vergil clasped onto the Handle of the Yamato, Narrowing his eyes as he Approached the Malfested, Now within eye sight of the Creatures, Smirking as he looked down upon them. "Like Sheep to a Slaughter. Scum!" He Would say, as his sword's Sheathe glew a bright flash of blue, as Vergil drew his blade, and with one clean slash, Sent a Dimension Cut upon a Malfested to cleave them clean in two!



HnkDkXBCp_1d20+2-1=21 (We TALKIN' CRIT JUDGEMENT CUT! 21% Damage!)


p_1d20+2=6 (Crit Confirm on that Cut.)


"Hmph...Much better than getting my coat wet." Vergil would remark, Before Charging into the Heat of Battle, His Beowulf Guantlets appearing upon his Arms and Legs! He Begins by Delivering a Lunar Moon-- A Spinning Axe Kick onto one of the Malfested--


p_1d20+2=19 (Beowulf, 8%)

"Haaaah!" And then a Spinning Roundhouse onto Another!

p_1d20+2=10 (Beowulf! 8%)

And Lastly, A Rising Dragon SHORYUKEN! Onto a Third!

p_1d20+2=19 (Beowulf 8%)


And lastly, Vergil takes hold of his Yamato, and Aims the Sheathed Sword Handle-first up to the Castle Window. "I know you can see this...I know you can *feel* this. Come on...Show me your Motivation!" He would say, As if attempting to egg on any hidden entities watching him, Before ducking down, Grabbing his Sword, and Unsheathing a Wild Slash upon another of the Malfested!

p_1d20+2=12 (Yamato! 18% Damage!)
