Expansive Toku/NIS RP

Long hair billows in the aftermath of the two riders. She leaned on her spear for a moment, a brief wipe to her brow.

Landing as his mirror beast set to feasting on the remnants...peering over his shoulder at their two bonded pairs for the moment. A huff in his helmet.

From:

There's a glimmer of red, before his eyes dull in hue back to normal..

Easing upright with a sigh, turning around, giving a wordless fist bump to Ouja's shoulder as a kudos.

"You doing okay? Thanks out there."

Nodding to Chika.

From:

"Oh! Look! An ability disc!" Through the haze settling down, a grey disc hovers.

"This can definitely help us out. Strange. I haven't seen one in a long time."

From:

Nodding to her partner.

"It's the least I could do" standing up straight and looking to the glowing disc.

"That's because over time, they were outlawed. Too many people fought over them. Came into nations to hunt for them. They're more trouble than they're worth"

Shaking her head with a small frown. "This one should give that steel armor to the bearer of the disc"

From:

how_vexing

"Hmph" looking at his friend before turning his attention toward the disc.

"Outlawed? Why? Battles for these things should prove who the better nation is~" his smirk could be heard underneath his helmet.

From:

"And we're gathering them like morons. Perfect."

A sigh.

"Hang onto it. Let's get mo-."

A loud, blaring sound is heard..and he turns to immediately see the prompter that suddenly formed. An X over an all too familiar face..

His face grows pale..for varying reasons..

From:

"Well some are worth-"
Whipping her head around to look as the large screen showed one elimination and then another soon after.

Nepgear holding in a shriek at who was listed first

From:

Stepping backwards, red eyes widen at the image that flashed across the screen. Looking to Asakura, then to Kotaro and then back.

This world was in for it now...

From:

how_vexing

"Whats fun without a little risk-"
The timing of that loaded question was answered with that siren blaring.

"Hoh, what the hell is that-" Looking up and freezing in place a moment.

𝙃𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨. 𝙔𝙚𝙖𝙝, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙞𝙩...

That had to be it. There's no way that someone took out 𝙝𝙞𝙨 woman.

His chest felt like it was tightening. Eyes glued to the screen to watch as a second elimination came in almost immediately following.

Asakura tried to speak, his breathing coming in pants behind the Cobra themed helmet before he lets out a pained roar that carried in the open air.

From:

Balding up his fist. It’s hard to explain: but rage and regret swelled in him. The entire reason he befriended this man was because what he saw in him was himself. Himself if he had not received the help he needed during his times of loss and the culling of kaijin. Or the heinous mutilations of experimentation undergone as a child. Him without people to rely on. This man, was a reflection of what could have been.

Reverting back..steam reveals his drawn out frown, and sullen gaze..

“Asakura..”

Right now, he only thinks that this man continues to endure more pain, even with him or others near. He’s tired of seeing him suffer, including the people around him.

From:

She was in terror and disbelief all in. On at the moment. It couldn't have been...

Bringing a hand up to wipe her eyes, Asakura's pained yelling causing her to jump out of her own thoughts. She was sure riders around this area where flinching as to what's to come.

From:

Her eyes staying on Asakura. There's a multitude of feelings that hit her all at once.

Awaiting what would come next was something that people perhaps thought they could predict, considering what's just happened...not anymore.

Chika's expression nervous. The oracle Awaiting what would happen next.

From:

how_vexing

A blind rage overcoming him.
This never would have happened if they wouldn't have gone to that stupid party...𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥.

She never would have gotten hurt by that idiot rider at the party...𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥.

She never would have been separated from him in the first place if they hadn't have come...𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥.

His hands clench and unclench whipping his head to look at Chika. If they didn't have to tend to her, he could have gotten to Compa already...

Deep breaths steaming up his helmet. He steps toward the green haired oracle. 𝘐𝘧 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴. 𝘖𝘧 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦...𝘪𝘧 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘯𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘴

𝘚𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘝𝘦𝘯𝘵. Slowly stalking footsteps carrying him toward Chika. He'd take this world down...further back into the ruins that sat around them. And he's starting now.

From:

“Henshin.”

His form quickens and driver rotates to shift, as he steps in front of him, halting.

“Asakura…I know nothing I say will calm you down. But you need to focus. I’m sorry, but I can’t let your rage win over your mind. We still don’t know the outcome if we win. Compa could be saved.” He’s spitballing. He doesn’t know anything.

“Do not make me stop you. Please. I need your help.”

Turning his head, he gestures for the other two to run.

“Take the disc and don’t look back. One of you may need it.”

From:

Running over to Chika with wide eyes.

"Asakura-san! Compa wouldn't want this!! You know this!" A weak protest through tears before pulling Chika back further.

She heeded Kotaro's words and made to run with the oracle over toward the disc.

From:

Her blood ran cold as his attention turned on her. Red eyes staring at both of the riders before her.

A small gasp when Kotaro came to stand in front of her and Nepgear. "You can't be serious..."

A hand tightening around Nepgears when she tugged her toward the disc.

"How can we find you again?!" Calling Kotaro as she moved to grab the disc. She's visibly trembling.

From:

how_vexing

An inhuman bellow left him as he came in with his spiral saber, attempting wild and heavy blows. He's not paying mind to anyone's words here at the moment.

Staggering as his blade eventually met the earth when the black suited rider moved, leaving an opening for him to strike Asakura.

From:

Each swing catches his chest with a sparking blow, stumbling back and weaving away from yet another swing, aiming a slash across him once open.

“I’ll find YOU. Get moving! If I don’t come back. You two just stick together. I’m sorry. I really am..”

Focusing on Asakura. If he can at least weaken enough for a retreat, he’d be better off. But it’s looking very not good right now..

From:

"Come on, Chika-" pushing the Oracle forward and out of sight from the other two. Breaking into a run as the woods weren't far off.

So much spiraling out of control so fast.

"We have to get Kotaro-san help...somehow" her thought coming out in a rather weak tone.

That would be one of the worst ideas if they ran across the wrong team...

From:

"But-" Nepgear leading them into the very beginning of the woods. Chika panting out as they ran without much direction.

"Are you crazy?!" Stopping and looking at her with a frown. Her tone was accidental, but still..."s-sorry. We need to go a little further and then stay put so he can find us"

Peering around the thickly wooded area.

From:

how_vexing

One of the slashes landed knock his sword from his hand.

He doesn't care, he comes at his friend with frenzied haymakers. His stance sloppy and wide open. Yells coming from him varying in volume.

"HIT ME!" almost begging for a blow that would end his misery at this point.

From:

Tossing his blade, he guards and takes a punch despite how reckless his form is, parrying and striking twice against his chest with two punches.

“Asakura!!”

Grabbing his shoulders into a lock, his head bashing against his to keep them in this arm lock.

For a moment, his vision briefly sees Shadowmoon, before the familiar purple suit returns again..

“You’ve lost so much. This whole damn thing is meant to tear us down. Render you an animal, and wipe us out. You have to keep fighting. Isn’t that what you want!? It’s what you’ve always wanted. To fight. She would want you to keep fighting. You’ve done this before..there could be an end goal that can save her..but I cannot do this without you dammit. Don’t force me to do this again.”

There was already one person he’s lost and had to confront. He does -not- want another Nobuhiko. He can’t do this again.

“I’m not asking you to quell your anger…if you’re angry, and you want it all done..then kill me here and now. We’ll go out on your terms. And both be damned.”

From:

"Yeah...you're right. I'm sorry." Her tone slightly hushed.

This whole thing...for what, for riders to eliminate not just others of their kind but CPUs? Makers? Overlords?

Purple eyes closing with a shaky breath.
