Who: Denji, Tifa Lockhart, Jill Warrick & Eustace~ Status: Closed~ Where: All throughout Escordvi~ What: Various closed starters for the event and MANTA Board prompts~ Warnings: Mentions of death, bloodshed and EMOTIONS~
[She's too far to do anything about it but watch that hit land on his stomach, and him flying against the rocky walls that surround them. It's a wonder at all that he's managed to recover so quickly—enough to shout at the beast—but she doesn't waste the opening that it's afforded her.
His yelling seems to goad the Suanni, which is not what she hoped for. It rears its head, ignoring her attempts to draw its attention back to her, but it's been angered and provoked enough that it has no interest. It charges at Denji where he lies against the rocks, its broken, jagged horns lowered, ready to strike.
A red streak flies into it, ribbons of fire following her movements as she kicks the horns as hard as she can, sending it reeling sideways, giving her a moment to check on him while it tries to recover.]
[If it wasn't for Tifa's abrupt interruption from the Suanni's advance on Denji who knows what might have happened, landing the direct hit to knock the monster off its trajectory sending it tumbling onto its side. She makes short order of closing the gap between them to kneel beside him, the Chainsaw Devil looking towards his counterpart with a nod his weaponized head in affirmation.]
YEAH I'M GOOD!! NOW LETS PUT THIS SHIT HEEL BACK IN ITS GRAVE, HUH!?
[Quickly rising back onto his feet, Denji's chainsaws roar to life once more as he takes a step away from his counterpart to strike a heroic pose. Another burst of chaotic laughter erupts from the hybrid, glaring down their enemy as it shakes off the blow dealt by Tifa's impressive kick.]
[That will be all the time they get before the Suanni recovers, and oh, is it angry now. It kicks its hind legs behind it, stamps its front ones on the ground, and with a roll of its head and a show of its cracked antlers, it charges at them.
[Every so often Denji had some good ideas in the heat of the moment, quick thinking when the going got tough and was hopelessly out of other options. The rage in the Suanni's eyes are palpable, glaring the pair down as it rushes towards them with unprecedented speed. Kneeling down to the ground with his head lowered as to make sure he does not rip Tifa to sunder the boy shouts out for her to jump aboard.]
ALRIGHTY JUMP ON!!
[When she happily obliges stepping on him, Denji quickly rises to his feet when she pushes off with her full weight, hoisting her high in the sky. At that exact moment the Chainsaw Devil presses forward in turn, going low just as planned to enact a precision strike in unison with his counterpart. If his plan goes accordingly their joint attack will cause the beast to become disoriented, having to make a difficult choice but by that point would be too late.]
[Here's something she never thought she'd do. With the Suanni charging at them, she has no time to even think twice about it. She leaps up onto Denji and within seconds, she's launched into the air. The movement confuses the Suanni, and it reels back suddenly, its horns swinging about, nearly missing Tifa as she falls back down.
She lands on its back, her hands grabbing hold of its horns and pulling them back as hard and as fast as she can, both to try and get them under control, and to stop them from slamming point-first into Denji.]
[With Tifa a top the creature grabbing hold of its broken horns to properly distract its attention away from him, Denji simultaneously moves below according to plan. He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but when push came to shove the boy had his fair share of bright ideas especially when provoked by near death experience. With his chainsaw appendages stretched out wide at each side the serrated blades strike true at the front legs of the Suanni causing the weight of its body to buckle underneath itself.]
[Tifa holds on tight when those chainsaws cut right through the front legs. The beast bucks under her before it falls forward, all of its weight tumbling to the ground. It nearly topples over from its momentum, sending itself careening face first into the dirt, but before it can...
She uses her grip on the horns to flip it over, suplexing the Suanni over her body, using her feet to kick it up into the air, leaving it vulnerable for Denji to finish it off and her safe on the ground, away from his chainsaws.]
[How the Hell Tifa was able to flip such a large beast with such finesse was beyond him and would be a topic of discussion for another time but right now his efforts were fixated on putting this Suanni in it's grave...again. With his counterpart safely out of harms way, Denji rushed forward using all of his momentum to leap high into the sky chasing after the disoriented creature.]
THIS TIME YOU STAY DEAD!!
[Elongated tongue draped out the side of his mouth baring razor sharp teeth with a loud roar, chainsaws striking the fleshy underbelly to split it down the middle. Writhing out in agonizing pain the beast's limbs flail out before falling limp at its side to hit the ground with a thunderous thud. Landing on his feet next to the creature the hybrid moves to the seemingly lifeless corpse firmly kicking its side to make sure the deed was done.]
SERVES YA RIGHT.
[With the imminent threat of danger nullified, Denji slowly begins to shift back to his human counterpart, metallic appendages dripping off his limbs in thick globs of mud until standing before Tifa as if nothing had happened with a wide grin plastered over his face.]
[It's still... a sight to behold, even now. Not that it comes as a surprise to Tifa anymore, but watching Denji tear that thing apart is not something that she would have expected to see. But desperate times call for desperate measures. How does one kill something that is already dead? And it would seem this creature had been stuck in that miserable place, angry and vengeful for a long time. While she feels a little bad for such a gruesome death, she also feels relieved, and she'll tell herself that they've just put it out of its misery.
With the chainsaws gone, Tifa approaches, wiping away some of the blood that had splattered on her cheeks throughout the entire ordeal. There would be more, to be sure...]
So, was that easier or harder than the first time?
[Tifa wasn't the only one who could use a good shower right about now as the boy stood there practically covered from head to toe in the bloodshed of their fallen adversary. This was nothing new to him though just another day on the job back home as far as he was concerned. Turning his attention towards his companion in arms when she puts forth the question, Denji moves a hand to frame his chin quizzically humming to himself deep in though. Eventually a coy grin forms over his lips with an unabashed burst of laughter erupts out finally giving her an answer.]
Honestly? I'd say it was a little easier this time around! You sure can kick some mean ass, Tifa!
[With the beast out of the way they could continue onwards to the rift which laid dormant just a little bit further ahead in hopes of closing it, bringing a swift end to the needless suffering of both the living world and the dead here in the Farplane.]
[Wiping a bit of blood from his face with the rolled up sleeve of his dress shirt, Denji grins wide towards his partner in crime, curling his hands tightly into fists and playfully jabbing the air like his potential sensei.]
That would be super wicked!! I'd love to learn how to kick ass and take names like that without having to turn into Chainsaw man all the time even if it is badass.
[Looking out to the horizon the teenager points towards the rift to which they had initially came to close with a renewed burst of energy. They had still had a mission to accomplish after all and this time he wouldn't be foolhardy enough to think he might be able to bring his friend back from beyond the grave despite its ties to the afterlife. He learned the hard way that it wasn't possible and suffered enough anguish in the defeat to try for a round two.]
Alright so whatcha say we close this rift and get the hell outta here, huh?!
[Always good to know how to land a punch when you need to. But she gives a nod.]
Yeah. I'm about ready to get out of here, too.
[So, with a pat on his shoulder, Tifa lets him lead the way to the rift that they work together with their magic to close. It takes a bit of effort, but that's what they're here for, isn't it? And with that done, it's probably better that they had back for some rest.]
