FC part 210 part 2

Vanitas forces Roe to look away.  

As this happens, a red moth drifts into the the Monabus before the doors shut.

Roe notices the moth. He doesn't find it very worrisome at all, instead reaching out one finger for it to land on.
What? Moths are pretty and That's A Boy!

Joker floors it out of there, they are not sticking around to figure out why the fuck a normal looking human is this far down without any issue.

The moth lands on Roe's finger, flapping its wings slightly.  

Everyone would hear a faint voice on contact.  Come....find...me...

He openly smiles, before that smile is wiped off by the voice.
"......Who was that?"

The “normal looking human” glitches a bit before disappearing.

"Interesting" Zasalamel folds his hands.

"I'd like for you to take me with you. A little trip together would be fun no?" Zasalamel silently dared him to contest.


Giorno delves into the cave. Sure. It's just a cave but there's a chance for something to be in there. He didn't expect cultists to be running around a cave entrance all willy nilly.

The cave goes down for quite a while. So far, so empty.

——————

Mordred pauses. Is..... is he serious?

“That’s- ..... I-..... I suppose so.” Mordred snarls through clenched teeth.

I’m going to flat this person when I find out how, Mordred thinks to himself, although it’s not in italics because I can’t type italics on mobile.

"... Do we have to go on?" Teddie looks freaked out.

"My friend is out there, probably unconscious. If we leave a Shadow could stumble across him and he'd be a in lot of trouble," Hikari replies. "We have to press on."

There was one more winding path up ahead...

"It's just one more space before we hit a safe room, we'll just rush through this and hope a Shadow doesn't get in our way!" Futaba is trying to keep morale up after two really weird events.

"Just take us in already, Joker. If we hang around too long the Reaper will be on us. I swear I can already hear the damn thing." Crow doesn't actually, he knows it hasn't been long enough, but he knows they're nearing their safe time spent on the floor and would rather not face the Reaper with so many newly awakened users who are liable to collapse from exhaustion at any moment.

Joker drives the bus to the winding railroad Shadow thing room

He hopes that there's not anything other then a shadow lurking here

Xion approached her shadow.

"So, I think we know what the problem is." Her shadow sighed.

Xion nodded, slowly. "Yeah."

"So, why are you so afraid? You know they won't leave us behind and you won't leave them again."

"You know why. I've made so many mistakes in the past. I left my friends behind with no memory of me, I let myself get controlled by Xehanort. I tried to kill my best friends, twice!" Xion sniffled.

"But you've learned. Mistakes are what make you human."

Xion's eyes widened, before she let out a soft chuckle. "I guess you're right. I'm sorry for causing you all this trouble. Friends?" She held out her hand.

"Heh. Friends." As the shadow took Xion's hand it dissolved into light, taking a different form.. "I am the fairy Napaea, your Heart's protector." And it is now a card.

Xion turned to face the Monabus with the happiest grin on her face.

"Yay!!!" Teddie claps.

"Alright, now we can head to the safe area!" Futaba pulls up its location on Prometheus.

Xion nyoomed back to the Monabus.

Joker guns it to the safe area as soon as everyone is in the monabus and seated.

Some safety laws may or may not have been broken, but no walls were run into this time at least

In the little seating area that makes the safe area itself, a young man can be seen attempting to tend to his wounds with some dumb old bandaids. Judging by the outfit and the mask besides him, he's clearly the real guy they were looking for earlier.

Given that Mona had demanded everyone get out of the bus so he could stretch out his legs in the rest area, Hikari is free to rush forward and still shove the group out of her way.

"Keishi you dumb bitch what the hell were you doing down here fighting that dumb fake?!" Hikari is a combination of very angry and very concerned.

"War nicht meine Absicht," Keishi grumbles, glaring at her. He switches to English, "Are you going to give me something other than these bandages or should I just die?"

Ventus rushes over. "Here. Cure." A green aura washed over Keishi, healing his wounds.

“Congratulations.” Oh god oh fuck the strange woman is in the safe room.

The drug problem was finally starting to escalate beyond what the Capos thought...Demand was starting to get ridiculous. No longer were they shipping in baby stuff like grass under the excuse for "medical reasons" which somehow worked. Small shipments of the white powder had come in before...Now it had become the main export. Soon enough it may become Meth, then Heroin and so on...

Can't walk on the streets without seeing at least 3 people with some sort of needle around the corner. That's just sad.

They couldn't hide the fact that they were selling it either despite Diavolo's measures. It was pretty damn obvious that Italians were hooking up the streets with the stuff. Was it all worth it? Hell yes. All the heroes are too preoccupied with the void and the police aren't looking into it as far as they now. Little busts here and there but thats it.

Joker wastes no time in summoning Satanael, who is slightly smaller so he can fit in the room, but still just as powerful.

Gun fire rains down in the area surrounding the scientist

Yharim had felt Calamitas' life extinguish, knew what the cause was. He knew it was not entirely Angela's fault, and her return in general didn't even shock him too much. So when that witch Rania had returned to the throne room, the former tyrant lunged forward and grabbed her by the neck, the only part of her body that looked normal anymore. "You thought I didn't know?" Yharim growled. Rania didn't look frightened at all, just had a serene smile on her face.

"Of course I knew that you knew. I'm not as dumb as you seem to think, 'Lord' Yharim. I also know that there is no risk here. You can't kill me, not for good anyway. So go ahead. Unleash your rage. Slip further and further away from the humanity you reclaimed after your daughter's demise. Release what you have stored inside of you. Become what you were always destined to be. Do it." Rania taunted, Yharim's grip on her neck slowly tightening. Yharim, after a moment of consideration and unbroken eye contact, merely tossed her to the floor.

"Get out."

"I'm afraid you can't mak-" Rania started.

"GET OUT!" Yharim slammed his dull sword into the ground, creating a shockwave that exerted much more energy and power than Rania was expecting, and she was slowly pushed away from the depressed tyrant. Something was clear on her face for a split second before it vanished: genuine fear. She waited on the outskirts of the shockwave for it to stop, but it didn't, and Yharim stomped towards her. Rania backed away from the man she knew now she should not have toyed with, until she was outside the castle. Yharim glared at her one more time before the rusted gates slammed shut. Rania let out a breath of relief she hadn't known she was holding, collected herself, and disappeared into mist.

"Joker people are behind you!!!" Well, it's actually just Futaba but she's incredibly vulnerable outside of Prometheus and now it's raining bullets. She rushes forward to try and escape the hailstorm before a stray bullet ends up hitting her.

Keishi would thank Ventus for the healing if he wasn't focused on the one sided gun fight happening just a few feet away.

All the bullets seem to narrowly miss her.

“Sorry, did I spook you?” She asked in a disinterested tone.

"Oracle!" Xion nyooms over to Futaba. Casting a quick Cure spell on her, she carried the orange bean to the rest of the people.

"Uh, yeah, you did. Now can you buzz off, we’re in the middle of something here." Vanitas sounded unconcerned with Futaba's safety, but he could be seen casting worried glances at her.
