---Last Time---
Jorogumo: You gave enough of a run around, little fly. However, you are beaten, helpless and alone, your spirit to remain in this accursed darkness as I feed on your tender flesh. As He once said, humans will so easily fall, no matter how hard they fight, they all are frail, fragile, and ultimately, unworthy. What will you do? Will you grovel for your life? Will you throw away your pride for a little longer at life? It makes little difference to me. How will you fight against your fate, only to let the shadows consume you?
Tara: *Twisting around to show a smirk and a detonator.* Like this! *she presses the detonator*
Jorogumo: Wha-?
*The objects that had been placed on the pillars suddenly explodes at the same time, and the roof collapses in on top of the both of them, plunging them into darkness.*
--- Izumo Region, Japan, During the Events of ‘Arachnephobia’ Post Cave In ---
???: We don’t have much time to stay stuck in here when we have one human agent keeping a Jorogumo busy. Any luck on the bolders on your end?
Agent 1: Almost, but only about enough room to get one person through right now, and that’s only if we have someone stabilising it. It’ll take a lot longer to have it stable enough that all of us can get out.
Agent 2: ???, you should head through first, make sure that T is ok. This kind of mission is more your speciality. Once its stable enough, the rest of us will follow to back you up.
???: Right. Try not to dally too much, or you’ll miss the fun.
Agent 1: Should be good for you now. Keep you and T alive until we can get to you.
???: On it *quickly dives through the hole made in the caved in rocks. The cavern is dark, but ??? lights up the torch that he finds close by, left over from Jorogumo’s initial strike, and hurries in the direction where the sound of inhuman roaring and crashing sounds are coming from. As he approaches, he notices on some of the pillars holding up the walls explosives have been added*
??? (inner Thoughts): Smart, but this could be suicide if she doesn’t get out of the way in time. If T planted this, then she’s got to be pretty desperate. But where is- Ah! *The explosives start to flicker a small red light, indicating the detination ids about to occur*
???: Damn!
*??? sets off at a run as the explosives detonate behind him. Quickly diving through the legs of the Jorogumo, who is being covered in rocks, he snatches up T and darts away, continuing to run until the rocks seem to stop falling behind them and the cavern stills somewhat*
???: Next time, less on the explosives I thi- T?
*Looking rather beaten up and bruised, T seems to be unconsious. She has a head would of some kind*
???: * Hurriedly pulling out communicator as he thinks* Considering the amount of cave ins, it’ll take a while for any of the others to get back to where we are, especially considering they’ll need top dog part of the way out. I’m just glad they aren’t human, or the time it’d take would probebly be just as harmful….They’ll be ok for a while until we can get full help, but T’s human and head wounds aren’t good. Not to mention there’s no guarentee that the spider lady wasn’t poisonous. Hopefully Alastair wont be too busy, cause we need help
*Connects to Alastair. The connection is bad, but he tries anyway. There is a lot of static, before finally a response gets through*
Alastair: Jou….t he....
???: ALASTAIR! We have a problem!!!!! T she got caught up fighting a Jorogumo and she’s unconscious. The other agents are stuck in the cave in where the seal is! Can’t explain much right now - The line’s bad. Can you send-
*The connection fails and the line starts to beep to signal the call ended*
???: Dammit! I hope that enough got through to him. So need to invest on mystic fusions in tech. I always seem to end up in situations where these things just don;t work how I need them to. *Sighing* No point staying here right now. If we get caught by another Youkai like this, then we’re screwed. *picks up T carefully* OK, let’s get you to the temple and get a doctor and I’ll see what I can do about the other agents. Hope that call got through….
*Carrying T, ??? makes his way towards the exit of the cavern, face set, worried for T and the rest of the team, though there is still an odd feeling of being watched even as they leave the cave entirely….*
