So much happened in such a short amount of time.

[break][break]

Kurai hadn't expected the knight to be able to block his attack while attacking Panya. Then again he could barely see his target and was surprised he managed to get a good hit on the shield in the first place. Even though his hand bounced off the surface the brief contact left a burning pentagram where his palm connected with the object. The knight's parry left him open to the counterattack slamming into his chest before he wrenched his eyes shut when he was blinded once more. “Mother- Son of a- God damn it!”

[break][break]

To make matters worse he was suddenly bombarded with a barrage of attacks and illusions. Despite his blindness what hit him was as plain as the rain on his face. Noelle. Kurai should have known that getting close to the enemy was a bad idea with such an AoE-heavy ally on his side. In an instant, he dashed as far as he could from the dangerous duo. In doing so he narrowly dodged the attacks aimed at him entirely by accident.

[break][break]

To make things worse whatever the knight just did caused a splitting headache in addition to his spotty vision. He grabbed his head... then the memories started. Awful memories that Kurai wanted to put behind him now that the world had changed. Now that he had a new target. Seems a lifetime of trauma wasn't as easy to put behind him as he thought.

[break][break]

It seemed like things would never end as a system message popped up in his spotty vision. He couldn't read or think well enough at the moment to fully take in what it meant before he hit accept. It wasn't until the party list disappeared and the names of his former party members turned red that Kurai thought something was off. He reread the mission in between the sunspots blocking his sight and let out a furious growl.

[break][break]

How could he get away with this? He could run, but who knows what would happen if he abandoned the quest? The tyrant running the system likely wouldn't take too kindly to him taking advantage of their generosity and then fleeing. It was then that Kurai spotted Mr. Beaks flying through the air on his new bird. In between horrid memories and blinding spots, he saw their well-dressed attire. It was good enough. It had to be. Surely he had enough credibility with these people by now, at least with Panya.

[break][break]

He had to put on an act the best he could. He was already doubled over and gripping his skull after reeling from the memories so it wasn't hard. A low whimper escaped his lips. “Why?... Why are you here?...” His hands moved from his head raking over his face until they passed his eyes revealing their newly sunken form. A shiny black liquid poured from them coating his forearms as large wings made from the same material violently erupted through the back of his tattered lab coat.

[break][break]

He crouched onto the ground and launched himself into the air at Rox. This time the words that came from his mouth came out in the same distorted scream as before. “I'll rip that smug smile off your face, you rat bastard!” Kurai's hand crackled with black and red lightning before shooting at the bird in an attempt to knock it out of the sky. With his claws outstretched he aimed to fly past the pair in the sky and rake his claws against the mounts side.

Kurai couldn't help but cringe when his new acquaintance greeted him. For some reason, Xibalba picked up the local slang he'd heard from the volleyball bros they beat before. He couldn't imagine why the man would do such a thing. Maybe they were going through a midlife crisis and wanted to feel young again. Was he really trying to recruit such a man?

[break][break]

Regardless of his current feelings, Kurai still had a job to do, so he sent a party invite to Xibalba. While he responded to the man he took a pair of glasses out of his inventory. The binocular sight granted to him by the item allowed him to survey the area more thoroughly. “Yeah. Looks like those things we saw before have been 'corrupting the youth' or something.” He even used air quotes and a mocking voice to emphasize his distaste for the mission. It could be much worse, but he was still annoyed nonetheless.

[break][break]

Thankfully with his glasses, it didn't take long for Kurai to spot one of the little gray aliens invading the beach. They stuck out like a sore thumb among the regular beachgoers once you knew to look for them. Especially those distributing the illicit substances. They didn't seem to be very good at this sort of thing...

[break][break]

Kurai wasn't sure why they were distributing illicit substances to 'the youth', but they were tasked with stopping them. Maybe someone believed the drugs were dangerous? “Alright, I found some of them. Let's go make sure they don't do it again.” He sighed heavily as he pried himself off the bench to make his way over to the dealers he saw. “So what's the plan? Scare them? Beat them up?” While he was mostly referring to the aliens they still had to find a way to get the substances away from the kids. Although if they were dumb enough to buy drugs from aliens they shouldn't be too hard to deal with.

How ironic is it that the man plotting to kill the system would end up defending one of its most important assets? And one that he hadn't even unlocked for himself yet to boot! Kurai almost laughed out loud when he saw the message for the mission appear in front of him.

[break][break]

If not for the fact that he required the forge to get stronger he would have denied Earth-Chan's ridiculous request. There was no sense in allowing the others to grow strong and potentially stop him. Kurai already was facing an uphill battle with the magic cop and his sister being so high level. Alas, he was still weak and required the forge's services so he relented. This time.

[break][break]

A quick survey of the battlefield revealed that things looked bleak as bodies littered the ground. The knight standing amid the carnage was dazzling... and the situation was less than ideal. If not for the watching eyes of other players Kurai would have tried to recruit his opponent to his cause. With his book in hand, he stepped towards the marauder. “No. We didn't have to fight, but then you attacked something I needed. This whole mess could have been avoided.”

With his own assortment of enemies finished off, Kurai set sights on the last remnants of the island's defense force. Rojin was doing just fine on his own as expected. He knew that he didn't have anything to worry about when he invited the old man. Their ability to be self-sufficient and point out flaws that his allies needed to work on were the main reasons he invited them in the first place.

[break][break]

Despite her timidness, Panya was handling herself well. Elara had taken out most of her group as well. However, the most pressing enemy heading for the pair remained. Despite Seere's attempts to bring it down with repeated potshots, it pulled its hulking physique onto the deck. Its enormous muscles slowed it down in the water but allowed it to scale the side of the ship easily. The bolt of energy that collided with it did little to deter its climb.

[break][break]

Once Kurai caught sight of this behemoth his whip wrapped around its leg to trip it. It flailed around like a turtle on its back for a moment while he closed the distance. When he got close he jumped on the enormous forsaken and stabbed his imitation dagger into its chest. The creature's enormous fist slammed into his side, but it couldn't manage to shake him off. His hand pressed against the Forsaken's midsection absorbing its life force and branding a pentacle on its body. Its flailing stopped as the damage from its attack was healed away.

[break][break]

Meanwhile, Valefor was enjoying his joyride on Ingrid's motorcycle. He hadn't yet had the chance to try a modern vehicle so it was an interesting experience for him trying it for the first time in combat. When given the chance by his chauffeur he embedded his dagger into one of the Forsaken felling another one.

[break][break]

During the battle, the captain of the ship skillfully navigated the party towards Ender Island despite the large attack and thunderstorm. They had finally gotten close and land came into sight. The captain let out a hearty “Land ho!” letting the passengers all know that their journey would soon end. Once all the Forsaken were defeated, they could dock and find out what else awaited them on the island. “Great let's get this show on the road. I've got places I need to be,” Kurai said as he pulled his shadow dagger from the fishman and prepared to disembark.

For such an intimidating man Mr. Beast sure was cheerful. As were their summons if Ragline was anything to go by. Kurai waved back at the cat in the window as his Guildmaster was cracking themselves up. At least they had a good sense of humor. “Winning it is then!” A smile spread across his face as he imagined the havoc they could wreak on the track with an undead train.

[break][break]

Just like the smaller Guildmaster of Utopia Mr. Beast was a very friendly man as he invited another pet user to join them in the race. Also much more trusting than he should have been the way he spoke Earth-Chan's name. Kurai cringed at how gross it was that the enormous man seemingly had a crush on some sort of cosmic horror AI. Looks like he'd be a problem in the future.

[break][break]

Here's hoping the new party member would be less of an issue. They looked plain and harmless enough from first impressions. “I wouldn't say it's safe. A lot of people got pretty injured during my last race. Traps, monsters, other players.” Kurai smiled once more and the pentagram on the back of his hand glowed red as he held it out towards Orvis. “You never know what you'll find out there.”

[break][break]

Once he noticed the light beginning to count down already Kurai began to climb one of the ladders on the side of the train. “Join us if you want. You'll better your chances of surviving.” Once he got up on the roof he knelt to pat it. “Ready when you are.”
