Undead Rising (QUEST, Kiki and Mura)

This place looked very creepy and vast. Mura was a bit frightened by the atmosphere. This random area that he showed up at really gave him goosebumps. “You see, this is the kind of places that ghosts abide…” he said shakingly to Kyoken, who showed up his spirit. “Hm, this place seems to be better for…” Kyoken suddenly looked around, spotting spirits everywhere, “Nevermind. It’s definitely a place for spirits…” “Well… it looks silent.” Mura looked around the area and began concentrating on his quest. He was supposed to investigate some dearly departed friends’ trail and ended up here. He wasn’t really sure if this was the place. What he knew is that someone else would company him on this quest, a person from his own guild. It would be his first time doing a quest with somebody, so he wanted it to go right. Kyoken was looking nervously around, something might have caught his attention, but Mura didn’t know what it was. “What’s wrong, Kyoken? Spotted anything?” he asked him, as he was looking from side to side. “Ah, I just… nothing, master.” He answered him. As Mura could utilize spirits with his magic, Kyoken had called him by master for a long time. “Well, yeah, there’s a lot of spirits here, but they don’t seem very harming…” Mura spoke up and decided to stay, waiting for the person that he should do the quest with showed up. He looked from side to side, but all he saw was spirits of old men and women walking around. He also spotted a few animal spirits.

Why did she always seem to get attracted to the creepier places of Fiore? Honestly, she'd set foot on this land not even a week ago and she'd had corpses flung at her, had spectre's assault her and now she was getting involved in some issues at a graveyard. Kiki sighed. Either she was just attracting these kinds of jobs or she was looking in all the wrong places. Either way she hoped things would change sooner rather than later, but for now she'd just have to suck it up. Besides, if this was another taint like the last one then her abilities as a Hearer were crucial to ensuring anything like this - whatever 'this was' - was prevented from ever happening again in this area of Fiore.

THUD!

Lost in thought, the cat-girl had walked straight into another figure. She yowled out loud in shock before quickly recovering and dusting herself off. "Excuse me sirs..." she spoke softly, bowing her head in apology before walking past Mura and his spirit, completely unaware to the fact that they too were on this job with her, believing that she was the only mage who had been called into this job. "Now...where is that taint coming from...?" she muttered under her breath. She could definitely sense that something was off as the whispers of the earth began to increase into quiet murmurs. Thankfully it didn't seem nearly as loud or violent in this location as it had done in her last job, so that could only be a good thing right?

Mura was discussing with Kyoken about this place and its many spirits, when another person soon appeared. She looked like a cat, mostly. She excused Mura as she walked pass him, but she seemed familiar with the job that he was on. “Wait!” Mura called for her, “Were you also sent to this place?” Maybe this person was the one that he should cooperate with. He showed up in front of her, in order to present himself: “Well, it seems that we both took this job. I’m Mura Kensho, nice to meet you.” he would greet her. Kyoken though was looking straight into her beautiful eyes, as fallen in love. “Greetings, young lady!” he greeted her and sat down on his knees in front of her, “I’m Kyoken The Great Samurai. A pleasure to meet you.” Whilst he took her hand as gently as it looked like. Mura was confused, what was Kyoken doing all of a sudden? He was nervous about this place before, but forgot it all in an instant when she came along. “Ehm, Kyoken?” he spoke up slightly. But it seemed that Kyoken was distracted, so Mura continued: “Well, don’t mind him, he’s a spirit.” as he scratched his hair to this weird moment.

His totem was dangling around his waist, as Mura stood there. “Hm, it seems that we’ve both joined this job. Well, what do you say? Let’s go!” he said. This place was beginning to fill with spirits, but it didn’t seem that this lady here could see them. It would only make the situation even more weird, so he rolled wit hit.

Before Kiki could get very far she would be interrupted and blocked off by the very gentlemen she walked into before. The smaller of the two suggested working together after it seemed the two were on the same job - something the Joyan girl welcomed with a smile after her last solo adventure - before introducing himself as Mura Kensho. Looking up at him she noticed the Fairy Tail crest upon his forehead and her smile grew ever so slightly wider. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mura. My name is Kikira Fujibayashi. You may call me Kiki if it is easier for you." she returned before her eyes then caught sight of the spirit beside the young man.

He looked older and considerably tougher, yet it seemed he only had eyes for her at this point in time. For a moment she simply stared back at him in confusion before something suddenly clicked. It must have been her ears! There weren't many Joyan's in Fiore afterall, so it was understandable to be confused upon seeing her. "It's no problem at all. I too am learning about Earthland and its inhabitants as part of my trials. It is also for those trials that I am here today and so I truly welcome your assistance while investigating this matter."

She bowed her head once more before looking around the immediate area. "It seems quite placid at this moment in time but...there is something. It is like there is something there, holding it's breath...just waiting for the right moment to strike..."

As he waited for her response, she greeted herself as Kikira something, but preferred to be called Kiki. Mura smiled when she accepted to investigate with him. It seemed that this job would go fine, nothing to worry about. “Alright…” he said, but suddenly stood silent. Kyoken also went back to himself and spotted a form in the shadows. He quickly looked back to spot two monsters approaching them. “Monsters?!” he spoke up as he lifted his hand up in the air.

“Alright, Kyoken, you’re ready?!” he said and looked at Kyoken. “Yes, master!” he replied as he sent Kyoken into the hand, forming a spirit ball of himself. Mura launched it into himself, unifying his soul with Kyoken’s. The monsters didn’t hesitate and one of them rushed towards Mura, the smaller one though. “Go!” Mura shouted and sent a fast punch towards the fearful beast. It seemed to send a frightful aura around him, but it wasn’t that scary. If it was a ghost, then he would be in trouble. But this monster seemed only as another victim for his spirit powers. He sent a good hit at its skin, causing it to step back. It rushed towards him fiercely, sending a punch to him, but he rushed back from it and prepared to attack it again. He looked swiftly at Kiki, who was probably dealing with the other monster now. He hoped that she would do fine, he didn’t know how strong she was or anything. His opponent here, though, looked determined to slay him and eat his flesh.

Oh joy. It was another job like last time where she was going to be attacked by creatures that, by all rights, shouldn't exist. Mura seemed immediately ready for battle as he did something unexpected and merged with the older man that had been stood with him, proving his statement from before that it was a spirit alongside him. Kiki had no time to comment on this however as a second creature surged forward, smashing through a gravestone in its hunger-fueled haste and swinging its fist around as it prepared to smash through Kiki too. Deciding that Mura would be fine without her assistance, Kiki stood her ground and placed her hands with the palms facing the earth below. "Beware the earth upon which you stand." she spoke calmly before moving her hands upwards just as the zombie was upon her. As it roared the wind was knocked from it by a huge pillar of stone, causing it to groan as it flew upwards into the air.

The Joyan mage wasn't done there however as she then brought her hands back behind her. "As water bringeth life, so too shall its current drag you under." She flung her hands forwards now, releasing a wall of water toward the zombie and knocking it flying backwards and smashing into another gravestone. It certainly was far from defeated, but Kiki was comforted by the fact the zombie was a considerable distance from her now and that its focus was solely on her.

It seemed that she was pretty skilled a mage. She didn’t seem to have any trouble with the monster, so Mura concentrated on the monster heading for him. He ran towards it simultaneously, and jumped over it, sending a fast heelkick towards its head. It seemed to get hit, but sent its fist towards Mura. He took the opportunity and landed his hand on the beast’s fist, being able to jump up away from it. He landed on the back of it, sending another kick to its spine. It got hurt again as Mura ran across its back, towards its tail. He grabbed it quickly and swung the beast around, launching it towards the ground. After that, he jumped back to see if it was done for. It didn’t seem so, so he stood ready to roll for it again. He didn’t have much time in this form, before it would cancel, so might as well do as much damage as possible.

He ran around it, trying to stay away from its attacks. It was very furious and wanted to get its hands on Mura. Kyoken was guiding all Mura’s steps. “Further! You're doing great, Mura! Just tire it off!” he commanded Mura as he dodged the monster’s attacks and its long, iron chain. “Maybe, we should continue this for a bit longer, and if it doesn’t work, then let’s try something else.” Mura told Kyoken, as this beast seemed not to tire off by attacking him all the time. He also looked towards Kiki a few times, but kept his concentration on this monster.

The Zombie was obviously hurt by her assault but apparently it hadn't been sufficient. Furthermore, now it was incredibly pissed off, something which probably wasn't the best of things to be facing. Another gravestone was the first victim to this rage as the zombie sent it flying several feet through the air whilst it got to its feet, before it then gave a huge roar and charged once more. The pillar she had before her wouldn't last all that long at this rate and so Kiki had to think fast. Her offensive options were somewhat limited and so it came down to her defensive options. She spread her arms out on either side of her and closed her eyes, her mind focusing on communing with the nature around her. As if in response to this a gust of wind would blow through the area and attach itself to Kiki while water trickled upward from the earth, joining the wind-shield in a perfect union as both elements fused and flowed around her body.

Just as the effects finished the Zombie was upon her, swinging its fist wildly and knocking her to the left. The fairy tail girl barely stayed upon her feet and was able to nimbly sidestep behind the pillar in time to dodge the second swing, with the pillar taking the full weight of the punch and beginning to crack. It wouldn't be able to take another hit like that again that was for sure. She'd have to come up with another strategy and fast and she would do exactly that as she brought her hands up, a green magic circle beginning to appear within them.

This monster didn’t seem to give up on Mura’s skilled moves, so he pulled Kyoken out of himself quickly. The monster rushed towards him from a distance, as he got ready. “Alright, Kyoken, it seems that this creep won’t get down so easy.” Kyoken looked at it and smiled. “This is getting excited, you know… and not just the monster” he said as he swiftly looked at Kiki kicking butt at the other monster. Man, he was weird sometimes. “Here he comes!” Mura warned him as the monster got closer.

“Hurry, Kyoken! Into the antiquity!” He formed Kyoken into a spirit ball, just as before, but this time, he launched him at the totem dagger. The bound was immense, the spirit energy of Kyoken’s that was launched into the Futsu no Mitama, transformed that antiquity into a long spirit blade. Mura was quite amazed by this, it was always new for him. “Alright!” he said and lifted the blade up in the air as the monster reached him, “Take this, monster!” He launched a slash with the blade, creating a wave that was aimed right at the monster, pushing it back intensely. Mura didn’t stand still, he charged towards it rapidly, launched another hit with the blade itself towards its belly. It was a strong spirit bound that he used. Kyoken was very determined to beat this monster and look cool while doing it, hoping that Kiki would take a look at them. Unfortunately, she was busy with the other monster, so Kyoken could forget that and concentrate on the monster.
