| Title: Vwoop! Suite Pretty Cure versus Poisony! | |
|---|---|
| Summary: An ordinary day is interrupted by a distinctly unordinary monster - a Negatone with a strange silvery sheen to it, accompanied by its summoner...wait, what's Poisony doing with a Negatone?! | |
| Who: | |
| Where: Nishitama Park District | |
| OOC - IC Date: 13 May 2014 - 01/20/2015 | |
<Pose Tracker> Poisony [None] has posed.
It's an ordinary day in the park district of Nishitama; birds are singing, the greenery is pretty... everything seems -- more or less -- as it should be. It's a lovely day to do any number of things! There is even a cute girl in a maid uniform selling sweets near the station, because of /course/ there is.
Admittedly, her true motives might be called into question by the occasional impatient frown or tapping of her feet despite the fact that she has reasonably active customers, but... for now, why on Earth would anyone worry about such a thing?
Something silvery-white shifts behind her. To the casual observer, it can be easily dismissed as a bit of aluminum foil in the wind.
<Pose Tracker> Hibiki Houjou [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
It's a nice day for many things, up to and including a small sports match. Just a nice game of football, black-and-white ball bouncing around the fields, aimed for makeshift goals. Hibiki had joined in, partly for the fun of it, and partly because Waon wanted a spare striker for her side.
Victory: Waon.
The game is done, and Hibiki is drinking greedily from a spare bottle of water. "Whew! Thanks, Kanade - did you see that shot? I can't believe Waon actually managed to block it - I think she's planning on recruiting that guy for the team. I still think you should've joined in, though..."
She's grinning, and although she's winded - that was fun. Right up her alley. Distraction strikes - as so often it does - with a fluttering of silvery-white. Getting up on her tip-toes to see better - because it makes such a difference - she tries to make out whatever caught her eye...ooh. "Oh hey, are those chocolates for sale?"
<Pose Tracker> Kanade Minamino [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
Kande grinned as she handed her friend the water bottle. "You were really putting it your all out there." She wished there was more she could comment on, but alas soccer was one of the few things Kanade did not have great knowledge about.
At the suggestion of her joining in the game, Kanade waved her hans. "Oh no, I'm much happier cheering from the sidelines. Besides, I only slow your team down." Not to mention there was a high chance Kanade would repeadtly trip, and fall for all the world to see and she rather not have to go through that humiliation, thank you very much.
She then glanced to where Hibiki was pointing, and frowned. "Looks like it, Hibiki. I didn't know there was a stand that sold chocolate here." Knowing what her friend was thinking, she gestured to it over her should with her thumb. "Do you want to go, and get some in celebration of a well done game?"
<Pose Tracker> Poisony [None] has posed.
Evidently, the young woman operating the stand has pretty good hearing, as she gestures the girls over. "We're about to close up here, so you can have a few for free!" the young lady declares, with a smile that's just a little too wide and a little too sharp to be friendly. Sure enough, she sets out a few chocolates; that ominous bit of silver-white seems to have vanished as the pair get any closer.
More than that, though, that ominous feeling starts to set in -- that sensation that something is about to go, if not /wrong/, certainly /strange/ at the barest minimum.
<Pose Tracker> Hibiki Houjou [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
Free? Free is a good price for chocolate. Having been tricked by Siren a couple of times, Hibiki is just the slightest bit wary...but only a little. Fortune favours the bold, after all! "Hey, even a pickup match is worth celebrating. And hey, it's all for fun - any time you decide to give into your inner berserker and charge in, let me know." She sticks her tongue out at Kanade, then dashes ahead toward the chocolate seller.
That grin - and that strange feeling - both make the hairs on Hibiki's neck stand up. But on the other hand, there's free chocolate up for grabs, so she does her best to put it out of mind. "Really? Thanks! What's the occasion, anyway - are you here every day, or...ooh, coconut." As she reaches for so adorned a confection, she pauses...and as she takes up the treat, she listens. Is there a strange melody resounding, perhaps?...
...her Cure Module is in her pocket. Just in case.
<Pose Tracker> Kanade Minamino [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
Kanade frowned suspiciously as she followed Hibiki, but at more cautious pace. She could have sworn she just saw a flash of silver, but that could have been a trick of the light. Still, something was off about this setup. Kanade couldn't place her finger on it, but it was better to keep her guard up.
Kanade tucked her hands into her pocket, her fingers wrapping aroun dyer Cure Module just in case. "Are you a promotion for a new business?" she asked, but deciding not bothering with the chocolate. She honestly wasn't hungry, but knew Hibiki would be after the game. Although, now Kanade was starting to wish she had suggested going to the Lucky Spoon instead.
"My parents haven't heard of any chocolate stalls in the park, and they try to keep up on that sort of thing." That was the truth, her parents tend to keep an ear out in case of any new competition, or in hopes of finding a new partner to do business with. They would have mention to Kanade if there was a chocolate seller in the part. It was odd.
<Pose Tracker> Poisony [None] has posed.
"This is more of a one-time promotion -- usually we sell in Shitamachi, but the day's so lovely..." The young woman shakes her head. "Anyway -- come by our more permanent stall in Shitamachi if you want some chocolate! I need to start packing up here..."
Sure enough, she starts packing up -- just in time for a loud crash to come, rather abruptly, from back in the direction of the football field. The creature present declares itself a Negatone, loudly -- but there's no... theme, to it, no real structure. It has the hallmarks of a Negatone -- its spindly limbs, its birdlike frame -- but that's it. It looks impossibly, perfectly generic.
The woman at the stand, for her part, hits the ground in short order, because of /course/ she does.
<Pose Tracker> Hibiki Houjou [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
"NEGATOOOOOOOONE!"
Of course Minor Land had to do something to cause trouble today! Hibiki whirls around, beholding the skeletal-seeming Negatone, and grits her teeth - and then, of course, she runs towards it. Why wouldn't she?
It's strangely quiet, in spite of the crashing, bellowing monster. There should be a melody, a terrible Melody of Sorrow - not that Hibiki's complaining about the lack. Skidding to a halt on the grass, she presents her Cure Module boldly. "Ruining a nice day for sports and exercise - absolutely unforgivable!"
The sigil of the golden G clef blazes in a duet - and in tandem with her friend, Hibiki Houjou becomes the warrior of music and melody. "Strumming the wild rhythm - Cure Melody!"
And she's not wasting time. Right out of the gate, she leaps forward, throwing a wild succession of sharp punches at the thing's bony leg! ...what is this thing made from? Is it seriously just a 'bone negatone'?

<Pose Tracker> Kanade Minamino [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
Kanade narrowed her eyes. A negation! That must have been what she was sensing. However, it was strange. Just bare bones? And where was Siren? She normally make it her mission to declare her involvement. However, there was no time for such thoughts now.
Taking her place next to Hibiki, she yanked out her Cure Module. "How dare you cause trouble in a public park- Absoloutely unforgivable!"
Her golden G clef then appeared, and glowed causing Kanade to become a fighter for all that was happy, and musical.
"Strumming the tranquil melody- Cure Rhythm!"
Cure Rhythm quickly joined in the fight, and swiftly attempt to kick the negation in the face.

<Pose Tracker> Poisony [None] has posed.
The Negatone -- or 'Negatone' -- slumps low to defend its legs from those punches, but in so doing leaves itself totally exposed up above; the kick pounds through its face, and it visibly slumps back from the blows. These two can really put out the hurt fast!
Within a few moments, a woman -- clad in black, with deep red hair -- strides out to the field, watching the pair fight. "Do you two really believe you can win?" the stranger asks, as the 'Negatone' finds its footing again.
"... How childish."
Reaching out with each of its spindly arms, the 'Negatone' slams both down with force, aiming one for each of the cures! It's a strangely draining sensation -- not enough to really cause much fatigue, but enough to continue feeling 'off' for a Negatone.

<Pose Tracker> Cure Melody [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
The 'Negatone' is tough - Melody's hands are stinging from those blows. She is, however, in a perfect position to see Rhythm's boot deform the monster's face, forcing it back a step or two. She grins, and goes to high-five her partner-
But then there's an arrival. Melody's response to the intrusion and challenge is...
"Wait, wha- Hey, you're not Siren!" ...not exactly eloquent.
The monster isn't idle, though, and spindly arms come smashing down - on instinct and with no small amount of luck, Cure Melody is able to backflip out of the way entirely. From the looks of things, Rhythm wasn't as lucky...best to get this thing's attention. "All right, whoever the heck you are - I'm guessing you're another of Minor Land's goons, which means we're up to five, which is just absurd. But we've beaten these things before-"
She lunges forward, abruptly, latching onto the ground-planted arm, and preparing to heave with all her might. "-and we'll do it again! Rhythm!"
COMBAT: Cure Melody has started a combo targeting Poisony!
<Pose Tracker> Cure Rhythm [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
Rhythm grinned in triumph as her kick landed perfectly on the monster, but then heard the voice, and glared. "Who are you?!" Rhythm demanded to know seconds after Melody made her cry. However, there was no time for further questions.
The negation suddenly attack with it's arms. Melody managed to dodge perfectly, but not Rhythm. She was a seconds late, and got knocked to the ground. Rhythm quickly managed to climb back to her feet, but not without feeling what she was certain was going to be bruises later.
She then turned her anger towards the stranger. "Who or whatever you are it doesn't matter! Melody and I will defeat you!"
She then saw Melody make a familiar move for the both of them. She knew exactly what the girl was thinking as soon as Melody called for her.
"Right you are, Melody!" Rhythm cried as she went to join her partner.

<Pose Tracker> Poisony [None] has posed.
"My name is Poisony, of the Dark Zone," the strange woman says, waggling her finger at the girls, and then snapping it with some force.
The monster takes to the skies, shimmering slightly silver for a moment; it seems to ripple underneath those grabbing hands before taking to the sky briefly. It stays up there for a few moments, looking down at both girls in turn...
... and then swoops right back down. This time, though, its goal is to snag /them/, just as they snagged it moments ago -- only its surface has the consistency of quicksilver, and feels as though it could absorb the girls completely as its arms make contact!

<Pose Tracker> Cure Melody [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
"The Dark Zone?" Cure Melody struggles with the monster for just a moment before it wriggles free, taking to the air. "What in the world is a Dark Zo-"
She can't ignore the monster - and it's behaving strangely, to say the least. She dives out of the way of a reaching arm - and then spies her partner being caught by the other. "Rhythm, hang on!"
The Negatone - whatever it's made from - is too slippery to risk getting close to right now - or she'll be caught too, and useless to help. But - striking a broad stance, she strums the air. A wild strain of music resounds, a staff shining rainbow colours through the air to wrap around Rhythm's arm, and give her a pull free. "Something really weird is going on with this thing!"
COMBAT: Unrecognized attack. Please check for typos in the attack name entered. COMBAT: Cure Melody has used Wild Rhythm on Cure Rhythm. COMBAT: Cure Melody has finished attacking. COMBAT: Cure Rhythm accepts Cure Melody's Wild Rhythm, taking 0 Fatigue damage! Accelerate applied to Cure Rhythm! Cleanse! All of Cure Rhythm's debuffs are cleared!
<Pose Tracker> Cure Rhythm [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
The dark zone? What on earth was the dark- Rhythm has no time to think on this. The negation suddenly lunges for her, and grabs her. Rhythm grunt, stuck in it's grasp as she struggles to get free.
It's hard to breathe.
Then, Melody summons a strain of music that wraps around her arms and pulls her free. Rhythm gasp for air, as she feels the magic of the music slowly hear. "Thank you, Melody," she replied. "I owe you one." She was so going to get her cupcakes once this fight was over.
Rhythm then swiftly turned her attention to the Negaton and dug her heels into the ground. "I've had enough of this you....SIREN WANNA BE!" With a loud cry, Rhythm charged forward to make another hard kick at the creature directly into it's face.
COMBAT: Cure Rhythm has used Pretty Cure Kick on Poisony. COMBAT: Cure Rhythm has finished attacking. COMBAT: Poisony fails to dodge Cure Rhythm's Pretty Cure Kick, taking 15 Fatigue damage!
<Pose Tracker> Poisony [None] has posed.
That kick seems to have the creature's number; the second hit to the face does almost as much as the first to it, sending it reeling back and causing it to cry out in pain. Poisony, for her part, seems totally unbothered -- her expression is almost totally blase.
At least until she's called out. "Siren wannabe?!" she says, breaking her calm, relaxed expression to get downright huffy. "I'm ten times the woman that child of a cat is!" She crosses her arms, shaking her head.
The 'Negatone,' meanwhile, swings its skeletal arm in a wide, broad sweep, trying to cut Rhythm -- the far more aggressive of the two at the moment -- down to size. Melody gets some attention too, but it's more of an offhand swipe by comparison.

<Pose Tracker> Cure Melody [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
Melody gives Rhythm a smile in return - and then the Precure in white goes and unleashes her inner berserker on the Negatone's face. And calls out this Poisony person.
It's fantastic for Melody to see her friend's anger turned on someone else. It really, really is.
Still, something's bugging her. "Well, she never mentioned any Dark Zone - so what are you doing with a Negatone, anyway? Is it some kind of-" Any further musings are cut short by the Negatone going on the offensive again - and this time, it seems to have a grudge against Rhythm, for all of the facial damage.
Well. Melody's more than happy to make sure that keeps happening. She plows forward, slamming one arm into the offhand swipe, getting between Rhythm and that skeletal arm sweep. The blow slams into her - she had nowhere near a good enough footing to handle that - and she rolls along the ground from the impact.
Groaning, she makes her way to her feet. "Woman or cat or - whatever! You and this monster came to ruin everyone's day...and we're not going to let that kind of thing slide. Right, Rhythm?"

<Pose Tracker> Cure Rhythm [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
"Melody!" Rhythm cried, as she watched her precious friend take the attack that was clearly meant for her. Oh, she really, REALLY owed her cupcakes after this. She'd happily make those bacon flavoured ones she was always pinning for.
Then she herds Melody's word and she gave a confirming nod. "That's right! Doesn't matter who it is, we're going to protect everyone's happiness!" She sent a glare to the monster, feel energy she didn't have before. "We are going to put an end to you!" she declared, rushing in to take a page from Hibiki's book and give it a hard deserving punch.

<Pose Tracker> Poisony [None] has posed.
Poisony is not exactly forthcoming on why there's a Negatone here; after the earlier comment about her wannabe status, she's too busy trying to recapture her footing. Really? Losing out on wannabe level to a /cat/? Ugghh... she must be slipping.
As Rhythm takes point, the monster hunkers down, the punch rocking its body but dispersed by a pair of inward-folded arms that have just a little more give than they should.
Exploding out into motion from its previous blocking state, the monster cries out, swinging a silver-tinted arm forward toward both girls, trying to press them back toward the chocolate stand. It doesn't exactly have a very... robust offensive pattern, to be sure. Talk about a bare-bones Negatone...

<Pose Tracker> Cure Melody [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
There's no explanation, no gloating, nothing to tie this monster into anything seen earlier today...frankly, Cure Melody is lost for words herself. So - she'll continue to have Rhythm's back on this. A grin, a determined nod - she's ready to deal with this.
Or not so ready. A silver-seeming bone limb slams down, and she's still shaken from the earlier blow - this one sends Melody reeling backwards. As it happens, though, she comes to a stop right next to Rhythm - seemingly in the same boat. "Right. Enough of this - if you're not going to talk, it's time you got out of here. Rhythm!"
She holds out her hand. Hand in hand, they begin to run forward. "Pretty Cure Harmony..."
COMBAT: Cure Melody has started a combo targeting Poisony!
<Pose Tracker> Cure Rhythm [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
Rhythm's victory was short lived as the negation attempted to again smash them with it's giant hands. She barely missed the attack, and winced as she lands and feels the debris knock into her knees.
They needed to end this and soon. Rhythm wasn't sure how long they could last. Yet, at the moment, she heard Melody cry out, and reach for her as dashed forward.
Knowing instinctively what her friend was thinking, Rhythm grasped Melody's hand tightly as ran with her.
"Shot!" she declared as bright light glowed between them and head straight to the neagotone.

Perhaps that's just it, then -- perhaps there isn't anything to tie this monster back. Something else must be at play -- that much is apparent, given the presence of the woman from the Dark Zone... but what?
Poisony leaps back; she wants /no/ part of what the 'Negatone' is having here, and with good reason. "Nghk -- so this is the power of these Pretty Cure," she murmurs under her breath, genuinely impressed. "Is that truly all you have, though...?"
The monster still stands, if only barely. Its skeleton is much more distinctly silver now, after that blast of energy... indeed, while the monster looks worn down, it /also/ seems to be in a sense invigorated by that staggering amount of energy...
... and releases it right back at the Pretty Cures. It's still much worse for wear for having absorbed it... but that bright light is now headed squarely for /them/ in turn!

<Pose Tracker> Cure Melody [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
Is that all they have?
The monster, worn down to a silvery core, unleashes the full force of the Harmony Power that struck it. Cure Melody has enough warning to brace herself, digging in her heels against the storm of light - but a pained cry indicates that Rhythm wasn't so lucky. "Rhythm!" She runs over, ignoring the monster for just a moment, helping her friend and comrade up first and foremost.
Then - then, she turns back to Poisony and her weird Negatone. "You want to see what we have? Then it's time we showed you." She turns away from who's not important to the one here who is. "Ready?"
A clap of hands, a synchronized three-step back - and the golden G clef shines again before the two of them, prominent and glorious. As it begins to spin, the duo call out their invocation with cheer and determination.
"Pretty Cure Passionato...HARMONY!" A shining, golden storm - resonating with holy tones, a refrain of hope and joy.
COMBAT: FINISHER! Cure Melody has started a combo targeting Poisony!
<Pose Tracker> Cure Rhythm [Infinity Institute (9)] has posed.
For a moment, Rhythm thought the battle was over, but then the negation struck them hard. She was unable to brace herself, and screamed as she tumbled and rolled on the ground. She winced, grateful for Melody's help as she climbed back to her feet.
"Thanks, Melody. Let's do it!" In perfect sync, she clapped her hands, took three steps back, and the golden G clef appears before the two of them.
"Pretty Cure Passionato....HARMONY!" she cried with all her heart at their enemy.

<Pose Tracker> Poisony [None] has posed.
Poisony, by this point, wants /absolutely/ nothing to do with the Cures. She feels that energy rolling off them in waves -- and while for their current purposes, that's exactly what she wants to feel, she doesn't exactly want to feel it... /on her/.
The 'Negatone,' struck by the immense storm of energy called forth by the sign of the clef, reels back, back, back -- and eventually collapses into a small, metallic sphere, revealing its true nature. The ooze-like creature wobbles weakly away toward Poisony, clearly stopped from any chaos it might want to cause; it is at /this/ point -- the tremendous storm of the girls' power now past -- that Poisony moves closer to the orb, collecting it and doing her best to carry it away as fast as possible.
A close call for both parties, it seems. But... something still doesn't add up, does it?
The chocolate stand, for what it's worth, is gone completely. Looks like someone was right to be suspicious!
