Isaac vs. Carmilla - Castlevania OST


SERVE FOREVER...

[break][break]

Before you is a singular granite slab, brimming with the potency of this maligned spirit. Its lone eye burns with an untethered malice, harboring a great hunger that cannot be slaked; you feel the weight of its lingering stare upon you as you and your companions make your last stand.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

Despite its vessel being bound and inert, still it manages to draw on the shadows surrounding you; from the guts of Hell itself it drags out ashen tendrils, a swarm of grasping hands that try to climb from out of their jail—to use you as their stepping stone as they flee that dreadful pit.[break][break][break]

[break][break]



As they are caught in this swathing shadow, they can see the creature before them unraveling; its corporeal body, bound in its transient state by the exorcism, begins to degrade. Flickers of some benighted, unnatural creature clawing, lashing out and writhing in the throes of death flash across their eye. It was now or never, then...[break][break][break]

each thrall falls with each attack. the spirit's protection all fall one by one, leaving it with just it's crafty shield.

crafty shield. the move that protects the user from status moves. it doesn't stop moves that deal damage, however. kyle recalls his jolteon, replacing it with his houndoom, and proceeds to bypass the protection to continue the process of exorcism.

"inferno."

the canine comes out. flames escape its maw, crawling its way towards the spirit to inflict it with the burns that would inevitably get them a step closer for the final rites.

tl;dr
  • lucario is a thrall
  • houndoom uses inferno for guaranteed burn

the supernatural stare weighs physically. psychically. noah's mental faculties, under the duress of this otherworldly threat, frantically seek reason within composure.[break][break]

"good boy!" noah says. he recalls his riolu, attempts to return his lycanroc, hopefully freshly peeled away from the husk of thralldom. "sufang, your turn! bullet seed!"[break][break]

his chesnaught leaps out from its ball. hands fuse together protectively, but from its mouth, a flurry of BULLET SEEDS toward the runerigus alongside hellish flame.[break][break]

"hurry!" the gym leader pleads as ashen limbs creep out from the abyss.

with no time to waste, his hands move over his belt, recalling and calling out pokemon within seconds. his decidueye is replaced with a trumbeak, an odd choice he normally would refuse to use. but its SKILL LINK will prove useful now.[break][break]

SPIRALING ABYSS


A GHASTLY IMPACT



REND THE THRALLS THAT WERE ONCE YOUR POKEMON. desperation spares them no mercy as combat demands haste. fernando’s reliance on consistency spurs a more practiced pokemon to take the field as one last slew of attacks look to fall their foe.

his kecleon, a pokemon he’s kept more to a house pet than fighter, finally surfaces. while BULLET SEEDS spew across the field, the spry lizard looks to sneak in a quick FEINT to break through the CRAFTY SHIELD. whether it is required for their operation to succeed remains unknown, but to leave an unaccounted variable up on the field is unbecoming of fernando’s explicit meticulousness.

HADES' THEME - FINAL FANTASY XIV OST


CONGRATULATIONS!


THE HAUNTING PRESENCE IS BANISHED...

[break]

BEFORE YOU IT LIES IN SHAMBLES, its once fearsome figure diminished for your efforts; its stockpile of souls exhausted by your feats. The beast grows desperate as you destroy its physical form, leaving it with naught but its incorporeal form.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

Claws like scythes reach out of the congealed mass of darkness before you, raking at the ground, looking for a foothold. By your collective actions you deny it even that, forcing it back into the recesses of its stygian source. Yet you are not so hasty to count it out just yet, watching it writhe in these final moments, despite any anguish.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

You are forced to meditate on the ulterior motives of this benighted amalgamation of lost souls as it is wrenched back into that unknowable abyss you have come to know as Death, its claws gouging trenches into the ground as it is whisked away from this plane one final time.[break][break][break]

HATRED

[break]
Elsewhere, unbeknownst to them,[break]Something stirred in the darkness—[break]Stoked by Runerigus' hatred...


[player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/277808764445261825/1071476261446225920/PUSS_IN_BOOTS_DEATH_WOLF_OST.mp3[/player]
[break]
DEATH SUITE - PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH OST


THE EPILOGUE

[break]

BASED ON YOUR INVESTIGATIONS, your team arrives at the conclusion that the Runerigus was an amalgamation of spirits similarly consumed by their resentments towards their trainers while in life, perhaps owed to the very instance that cost them their lives. It puts into perspective the nature of the relationship between trainers and pokemon.[break][break]

You know now that the creature's HATRED had fueled its dark ascension, forced to contemplate whether this apparition's appearance was only recent, or a lasting infestation that had until recently gone undetected. In any event, you have quelled the threat posed and done as you were tasked, your deeds nothing short of heroic.[break][break]

With the Runerigus put to rest, you would be diligent to report your success to the Channelers congregated elsewhere on Mt. Pyre, perhaps eager to collect your reward and take your leave of this place. But you will be forced to question whether you truly have pokemon's best interests in mind after your altercation here.[break][break]

Regardless of your feelings, you would wake up the next day to a world leaning ever so slightly closer to balance, and a small part of that achievement is owed to your efforts. If nothing else, it eases your conscience.[break][break]
