Chapter 4 - Breach and ClearOkay so y'all settle down and breach the Sanctuary, the entire history of its damn world tracing through your site as you access it.
In darkest night, a droplet of ink falls upon a black sea. The ripples become waves and the waves become mountains, rough-hewn, crystalline almost, like the graphics of an early video game. Embedded, just beyond the horizon lies the neon sun, the boundary between heaven and earth oscillating in tune with its heartbeat, each pulse sending light streaking out across every edge and vertex in the land. Lightning rains down from the stars above as giants rise from the earth. With their hands, the giants shape the earth into all that exists in creation. And with lightning, the stars grant them existence, radiance, a neon pulse of their own seperate to the earth that birthed them.
Life emerges, some facsimile of it, trees and animals living alongside their makers, man and his weapons, holy blades of divine judgement, roaring gatlings of heaven's fury. Rapier missiles, laser cannons, armored trains.
Genesis in motion, come to an untimely end.
Man falls upon his blade. Trees crumble. Animals wither. Their life returns to earth. To the stars. It is needed.
The end times have come. The eschaton.
The land is barren again. What were once valleys become great trenches. Where there was once life there now exists only the instruments of death. Few giants remain, shaping the corpses of their brethren into great weapons for Armageddon.
You see soldiers entombed beneath the land, artillery pieces gouged into the mountains, sinkholes lined with lasers like lamprey maws.
The air is still. You smell nothing. You taste nothing. You feel nothing. This world never truly began, and yet here it is bringing itself to an end just to kill you. Do they really think it will be that easy.
You are all standing in a blasted wasteland where great fissures criss-crossing the surface, psychedelic rays of light crashing down across the trenches in front of you, a great of swarm of rapier missiles rising to meet you, soon followed by moth-like living shadows with neon halos that screech in a deep bass as they send exploding beams of energy streaking towards you. The missiles aren't here just yet.
Your target is much further ahead, at the horizon itself.
"I'm picking up artillery coming from the mountains. You've some time before the first shells land, how nice of them to give you a head start."ShefGreat rainbow lasers, strobelight stars, bass moths, out of all the things this Sacntuary could've been it's a fucking nightclub. Still, this mention of artillery sounds worrisome. With the delay from firing to landing, they're probably not going to be able to hit accurately without some kind of precog system. That being said you doubt that's the plan either. They're just gonna rain death down to restrict and pray the shrapnel gets you.
Satoshi grins at you
"Need a lift? You don't move too quick."MinatoSanctuaries have limits. An Aramitama can't just have an infinite army at their beck and call. By the looks of things, there's only so much energy in the system, only so many constructs can be active at once. The neon lightning? The stuff coming down in the trenches and distant mountains, that's their power supply, you're sure of it. It's likely all coming from that horizon, the center of this false reality with the Aramitama's own output added to the mix. In other words, until you break this whole damn world, the deluge won't stop. They can only field so many at once, but they will keep on coming until you're dead or this world is.

SatoshiA highly technical close quarters specialist armed with rod of force that can alter its own dimensions and well-versed in multiple martial arts. She has immense amounts of willpower.
- Technician [3]: For one turn, Satoshi focuses and brings out more of her Regalia's potential. In this instance, she can use it to launch herself and one ally out of the car in an attempt to evade the incoming strike.
- Spirit Injector [4]: Satoshi conjures up a syringe of compressed spirit energy which may be injected into something. She can maintan three at the same time. Ordering her to use one now requires her to use one of her current ones for something.
- Override [5]: Satoshi twists reality, altering the properties of a target object through sheer force of will. She must maintain physical contact with the object to keep this active.
When I say lightning I don't mean like electrical lightning, I mean more like multicolored pillars of light crashing down from the strobelight stars like lightning.
The artillery is coming from distant mountains. You're probably not gonna be having much luck trying to take them down.
Yup everyone has basically every buff with any duration on it stacked at once. The main exceptions to this are DETERMINATION which has a drawback and the Excel Hypers. Poke me if you want them to have been pre-applied as well.
