TEAM TARZAN

READY: START

Team Tarzan roster: Anastasia, Ikuo Ryuuzaki, Jack Kelly, Kasen Ibaraki, Keigo Asano, Kurogane, Kurt Wagner, Silver, Yamatonokami Yasusada, Yaeger, Yosuke Hanamura, Yugi Mutou.

The city's been under siege for what feels like hours. It's only on August 3rd that you learn it's been a matter of days. Monsters begin pulling Retrospec users through portals left and right, large gaping holes in reality that spit you out in any given location around the city.

However, just as you think you're finally getting away, a large blue portal opens and you're snatched up. No amount of fighting and struggling will free you and soon the pressure is too great to ignore. Darkness fills your vision and the last thing you may remember is the sound of the monkeys howling...

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Piece of cake. Right. That definitely didn't look like a piece of cake and Silver's younger and more agile than he is. If Silver can do it that's great, but Jaeger doesn't stand a chance in hell of making that jump.

He stares down at the spikes for a moment, then looks back over his shoulder at what he's already crossed through. Maybe his death by spikes won't be so bad?? God.

Alright, he'll copy what Silver did, giving himself as much of a running start as he can before he jumps. He doesn't quite make it and the result is frantic scrambling against the wall and the ledge. PLEASE HELP HIM UP BEFORE HE SLIPS AND DIES.]

[Oh jeez, here he comes. Oh man, he's not going to make it. Silver dives to grab him; the result is him precariously holding Jeager for dear life while Croconaw holds his legs so he doesn't plunge down himself.

And while Silver's agile, he's not very strong, and Jeager is a lot heavier than he thought. The strain is very plain on his face, although he doesn't look like he's going to drop him just yet.]

Are you, uh-

[Holy shit, just climb up--]

[Thanks for the catch, guys. Jaeger's got enough upper body strength to pull himself up and once he's caught the ledge properly he's able to struggle upwards and sit on the edge to catch his breath.

He's still alive, somehow. He's still alive and he owes Silver his life.]

...Well, that was terrible, let's never do that again!

[or he could just do that, that's fine too]

[Silver nods, but otherwise doesn't respond and takes a moment to hold his bandaged arms. That was all something of a mistake. That hurt quite a lot, in fact. It was worth it, sure, but... Well, it's a good thing he has burns on his arms instead of open wounds, otherwise he'd be bleeding up a storm right about now.]

We're almost out.

[At least they don't have any more big jumps like that one. Just some fire, some swinging axes of death, and... Oh man, that's a lot of arrows.]

[Right, time to check out what else we have to face--]

...Just leave me to die here.

[Obviously he's just being melodramatic but oh my god why. It feels like we've just barely scratched the surface for this godawful room.

Jaeger hauls himself to his feet after a moment and offers Silver a hand.]

Let's see if we can make it through the rest of this, ja? We've come this far.

[He's trying very hard to sound optimistic, but it's obvious that this is wearing on him if his irritated expression is any indication.]

[...Silver takes the offered hand, but once he's up, he goes through his backpack and pulls out a water bottle. It's empty, but Croconaw fills it quickly, and Silver offers it over to Jeager.]

Take a minute. We've come this far.

[It's not like the rest of the traps are going anywhere, so he nods and takes a moment to drink the water and try to compose himself. They can totally make it through this. They have to make it through this.

...God, they're not going to make it through this.]

I appreciate it, both of you. But we should keep moving, ja?

Yeah.

[And he turns back to look at the last few obstacles in front of them. Jeager's nervous. He's nervous. But it's deceptively easy to manage a smile, despite the circumstances.]

We're gonna make it. Just stay sharp.

[The last fire is easy enough to jump across, too. But the axes and arrows left in front of them, well... That's gonna be a little tougher, isn't it.]

[For once he doesn't have a witty reply to that and Jaeger simply follows Silver through the fire. He absolutely has to give the kid credit for his timing on this; Jaeger would have fucked it up if he was on his own.

But all of that can wait until they're safe. He takes a moment to catch his breath before nodding for Silver to continue.]

[Axes and arrows, axes and arrows...

Silver fires out a couple of sets of his psychic energy blades. His accuracy with them leaves something to be desired, but it seems like he's... Trying to figure something out, maybe? Whatever it is, it doesn't have to do with the axes-]

Cover the left, okay?

[Whether or not Jeager agrees, Silver's running in. The less they think about these things, the better.]

[NO WE SHOULD PROBABLY THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS MORE but you know what there goes Silver and he's given Jaeger a direction, so that's what he'll do. He'll cover the left and follow, once again barely managing to avoid the axes taking out his tailcoat. As much as he hates this stupid outfit it'd probably look even stupider if it was ruined.]

[The axes are down, and they are immediately bombarded by arrows on the left. Unfortunately, they're also dealing with arrows coming from the right, but that's where operation stupid comes in.

While his aim is absolutely terrible- and certainly not good enough to hit an arrow coming at them- he doesn't have to aim if he does a bunch of little psychic blades all at once. And while he can't exactly aim, as long as he's headed for the right general area, he should be okay. Probably.

It does seem to be working, at least, although it's giving him a wild headache in the process. Croconaw assists them by blasting some arrows away with water. They only have a little more--!]

That's it! Just a little further!

[He keeps the shield up to keep them safe on one side, but between Silver and Aoi they should be just fine. Reaching the other side of the room safely feels like such a reward, even though all they got out of this was the answer to the scarab puzzle.

Jaeger's just going to collapse once they've reached safety, sitting as far back in the room as he can to stare back at everything they went through.]

...Well, that was dreadful. Let's never do that again!

[They made it! Their names will be etched into the walls of this place and spoken for generations- alright, no, he's perfectly content to just collapse right on the floor and hold his head. Who knew using that much bullshit psychic power was a bad idea? Whatever the case, now he's suffering for it.]

Come on, it wasn't that bad.

[It was exactly that bad, if not worse.]

Besides, now we get bragging rights.

It was exactly that bad and you know it.

[You look like you're in pain, buddy are you alright-

...But bragging rights are nice and Jaeger considers for a moment before speaking up again.]

Well, no one needs to know exactly how difficult this was, ja? Perhaps it really was simple for us to get back here!
