Genesis Act 1: (Job/Mossino/Heyyew)

Suzuran would be quite right, Nothel was in a berserker like state, attacking anything that came for him. Nothel would be leaving himself quite wide open for attacks, not realizing that in his angry state he wasn't defending himself at all. During his rage he would be taking far more damage than need be. Sadly, Nothel didn't care, he was here to finish these dogs off, and the one pinned to the wall seemed like an easy target. Before he goes for it, Lexa casts a healing spell on Nothel, but his wounds would barely heal. It was weird, like the spell wasn't effective in the least. After the spell had cast, a dog jumps by him, slicing his forehead. Barely recognizing the pain, he would get hit pretty badly, and start to bleed, it covering his face.

But, the dog wouldn't get away without getting his fair share of beating. Nothel would lunge at the dog right as he is cut, burying his sword into the dogs neck. Quickly he would rip the sword out and slash another dogs face as it bounds towards him, dealing 1.5D ranked damage to both of them. In a coup de grace' style, he would then fire a crystal of blood into the skull of the pinned dog, finish it off. Nothel would start to run out of steam, and his movements begin to slow down. He was running out of blood and his healing wasn't able to keep up. After this next attack, he will probably succumb to the pain and fall unconscious.

(Nothel's lineage makes all healing less effective on him and his beserker rage makes him 25% more vulnerable to damage. He is sitting at bout 10 HP rn and 50% magic.)

What the? Why didn’t that work on him? Why didn’t he tell her that healing spells wouldn’t work on him? Well of course he hadn’t told her. She hadn’t told him that she could cast healing spells. She’d give them an earful about that once he woke up. If he woke up. How was she supposed to help him if she couldn’t heal him?!

Of course it was partially her fault that this mishap was happening, but even so. It was a good lesson for all of them. When going into missions with unfamiliar people it was a good idea to stop and talk about what kind of spells you could cast and if you couldn’t be healed for whatever reason. This was a real danger here, Lexa really wished she’d been told about this!

Aaaaand there went Nothel. Nothel was lucky that Suzuran didn’t understand the concept of mercy, or even mercy kill. Because if she had she would have used it right now to end Nothel’s life. Because that was what humans were supposed to do when something was bleeding out and dying slowly, right? But neigh, as it were the worst Suzuran would do was leave him bleeding out. It was really good they had someone else on this job.

The ice elemental stepped around the skewered dog, letting Lexa finish it off. She then formed an ice spear, broke it in half, and sent both of them towards the dogs that were tearing at Nothel’s body. While she had not seen Lexa’s healing spell work, there might be something they could do for Nothel. The only reason Suzuran had saved him was because it would be highly difficult to get out of here with only here and the miniature human.

24/25

Nothel was quite fortunate no one knew what a mercy kill was. He did look pretty beat up. Cuts on his chests, and head which were bleeding profusely. His arm has been nearly ripped off and he was exhausted. But at this point he had collapsed in a pool of blood and in a pile of dog corpses. He was nearly dead, anything else could have just pushed him over the edge and accept death. He subconsciously he was holding onto his life. While the healing spells weren't horribly effective on him, it would speed up the process of reviving and getting him back up. They weren't going to win this fight without him, not in the least.

While there wasn't anything specific they could do to help him, since his cuts were being slowly healed by his own ability. Flesh was reconnecting, blood on the surface was going back into the body and he was very slowly healing. But, blood was still coming out of some wounds faster than they could be healed. His own natural ability wasn't enough here, he needed help. And fast. But if they don't hurry up the next group of monsters could show up and they would be doomed. Hell, they don't know he is even still alive, but a slight breathing would indicate that he is at least trying to live.

There would be a howl from far away, signalling that more enemies were coming at some point. They had to act fast to get their tank back up and running, or shit was going to hit the fan.

“Put pressure on his wounds!” Lexa commanded, taking a bandage out of her bag and starting to wrap it around the man’s arm to try and stem the bleeding.

Suzuran, meanwhile, crouched beside him and proceeded to try and freeze his blood as it came out. Normally she pulled the water out of the condensation in the air- but it was a lot easier if water was already there. From what Suzuran had read blood was 92% water, so freezing it as it tried to escape him was easy enough. She was basically using her ice spear spell on him without flinging the ice she had made anywhere.

“That could cause hypothermia, not so sure you should be doing that.” Lexa said, brow furrowed in concern as she wrapped some of Nothel’s other wounds. She could see that he was healing on his own. Which was good for sure. It seemed her healing spell had some some amount of good… It was better than nothing. She cast the spell on him again to try and speed the process of healing him up.

Nothel would cough up a bit, groaning as the healing starts to revive him. His wounds start to close faster as the healing spells start to get to him. Sadly, he isn't awake yet and the monsters are coming, they could hear the sounds of feet and paws.

Suddenly Nothel's eyes would open and his hands would clench into fists. "They're coming! Give me my sword! I must fight!" he has completely disregarded his own saftey at this point, wanting to kill the monsters. Sadly be is being held down so he can't force himself out.

"You stay down! If you fight any more before you're healed up you could die!" Lexa was the one holding him down at this point. "Suzuran, you get them for us!"

In hearing the yelping of dogs, Suzuran decided to form an ice spear and break it in half. When the thing came barreling around the corner it suddenly accelerated to forty miles an hour. The dog impaled itself at forty miles an hour onto the spears. Suzuran did not care that this move wasn't particularly creative, as she had done it before. Did you get any extra points for creativity? No. No you did not.

After another few minutes, Nothel would forced himself up, pushed past Lexa. He was only 30% healed, but the rest of the enemies had arrived. A dog, two scientists, and a spider. He quickly grabs his sword from the ground, reading himself, "Come at me fucker!" He has completely lost his sanity in this battle. Quickly lunging forward he slices the scientists across the chest. Jumping back he would use his own blood to impale both of them. They are unable to return this attack therefore waste their ability.

“Get down!” Lexa shouted at him, peeved that her patient was already getting up. He was going to get himself killed. She then raced forward and slashed at the dog with her spell.

Plenty of blood. Good. “Use your AOE Nothel.” Suzuran commanded in her dead pan voice. It would be super effective against all these foes being so cluttered together, in the thin hallways of the Ruins, they had little choice but to cram together to try and get at the foes. She did what she had been doing with the ice spear spell, sending both halves at the scientist.

Nothel nods. Suzuran's command made complete sense. He claps his hands together and sends out two large pools of blood. They hover under the dog and spider. The spike up and instantly kill the spider. The other one pins the dog there, spikes through its jaw and chest, but it isn't dead yet. Nothel would groan. Yeah, his wounds weren't healed. But he couldn't stop now. Holding his chest he waits for a scientist to approach him, and not seek out the battle.

Suzuran decided she would deal with the primary threats, that being the scientists. The dog was pinned and the spider was dead. Plus, soon the dog would bleed out. Giving Nothel more blood. Speaking of, she best bleed out one of those scientists for Nothel to use later. Or just have him be sure to gather all the blood that had spilled out here.

A scientist managed to strike her with a bonesaw, but it only managed to scrap against her ice body before she moved and planted a palm on his head, skewering him at point blank range as she formed the spear right through his brain.

Lexa went stabby stab with the other scientist.

The last two enemies would fall, and Nothel would walk over to the dog. To get his satisfaction he would swipe down with his sword, swiftly decapitating it. They had killed the last of the enemies. Suddenly, the lights to the facility would turn on, and they would be in front of a huge closed door. It was the entrance to the main part of the facility, the boss room.

Nothel falls back onto the ground, holding his stomach as he start to heal himself through his linage blood.

"Thanks Lexa...and....do you have a name elemental? I owe you both one."

“I already possess a name. I do not require a new one. My name is Suzuran Hifume.” Said the ice elemental, pain clear in her face. It had just been a tiny scrape, but the young ice elemental had pretty much zero pain tolerance. One could say she was just a big baby when it came to pain. Suzuran formed an ice spear and then froze it to the door and the wall. She wanted to make sure that nothing came through that door before they were ready for it.

“You know you really should tell any future groups you're in about how healing spells don’t really work on you. You could have died!” Lexa chided him in her child-like voice.

Nothel glares over in Lexa's direction, "Maybe you should inform the team that you have spells that can heal, no?" Shaking his head he sheaths his sword. "I heal naturally, so let me heal naturally, got it?" He barks at Lexa. He is visibly pissed off for some reason or another.

"The boss is behind that door, therefore we should rest here for at least thirty minute to regain magical power and heal our wounds. Then we can attack it." After saying this, he starts to stretch and keep himself active, the visible wounds starts to heal.

"Lexa if you are going to waste healing spells, do so on Suzuran, she seems to be hurt."

"Yes, we both bungled that one. My point still stands though." Lexa grunted as she began to heal Suzuran.

"How do you know the boss is there? Have you been here before?" Asked Suzuran in her flat voice.

Nothel rolls his eyes, "It just makes sense, no more enemies are attacking us, and there is a giant door. I will bet you 2500 jewels that the boss is in their." He grins leaning against the wall. His chain-mail armor has broken at this point, and his sword is starting to loose durability. His clothes are sliced up, and his body is nearly healed. "Almost ready.."

"I'll take that." Suzuran said, figuring that she didn't really care about money anyways. If she got money, that would mean she would have more. If she lost then she didn't really care. There was no loosing.

"Alright, are all of you ready?" Nothel asks, standing up. "These enemies were the regular ones, not strong. The boss will be much more difficult I presume. If you are not ready tell me now."

He walks over the door, finding the latch on it. All he needs is the signal and he will open up the chamber to the bossroom.

“Yes.” Suzuran stated, then breaking the spear to allow him to open the door. That was when they came to a door full of tubs, one of them containing an exact replica of Lexa.

Nothel looks up at the exact copy. "Lexa, that is who we have to kill, no?" He says sarcastically, drawing his sword. "I'll kill it, don't worry." Nothel charges the monster before it can even say anything. But out of nowhere the replica of Lexa would flash in front of Nothel and punch him back.

Nothel could barely block in time, and would slide back from the blast.
"Oh damn, she is fast, alright...this might be difficult...but I have an idea. Drain her health!"

Nothel charges forward again, and instead of blocking her counter, he ducks to the right and slices her side chest. It barely doesn't any damage and leaves a small cut. His idea might take a bit longer than he thinks..

“Wait wait!” Lexa shouted, but too late to stop the fight from starting. “Who are you?” She didn’t want there to be a fight, she just wanted to see what was down here. “Stop the fighting!”

Lexa would see the...other Lexa. But that didn't stop Nothel. Slashing his sword back he would block an attack from Imoto. "Come on Suzuran help me here! I have a plan just drain its HP!" Slashing the bosses hands away he would get another sneaky hit off to the stomach.

"Stop it!" Lexa shouted. "We don't even know who she is."

"Father made me to destroy you."

Lexa was silent for a few seconds. "Oh." She said sheepishly.

Suzuran then sent a pair of ice spears at the robot.

Nothel would snort. Yeah, this was the boss, it wasn't friendly, what did you expect Lexa? While laughing he lets his guard down and gets slashed across the face. Groaning a bit in pain he would lunge forward, impaling the beast dealing another D ranked damage to it. Then right after two spears from Suzuran impale it, bringing it down 5 damages. After have of it was dead, Nothel could instant it, he knows he can.

Suzuran did the double stabby thing again, Lexa, meanwhile, was still shocked that her... What was this thing?

Barely dodging one of Suzuran spears, he would quickly return the attack, slicing Imoto's side again. Right as the attack lands the boss disappear into shadows reappearing further away. "Die." Is uttered from the boss and she sprints towards Nothel preparing a powerful attack. He goes to block, but can't and is blown against the wall. He slides down and is seemingly unconscious from the blow.
