[Closed(?) Event Post - The Below That Should Not Be]

[duelacademynpcs]

::So Judai and Asuka meet together one night soon after hearing Kamala's story about a former classmate who shouldn't be.

It's in the maintenance tunnels. Probably darker clothes to avoid cameras and security as much as possible, and Asuka's advised against anything too loose because there is a lot of piping.::

Are you absolutely sure the dynamite won't kill them?

I'll admit, with what happened with the kids from the school that got down here and this, I don't think this place should continue to exist either.

... I don't know what you're talking about... but Hibiki is something beyond mere human at this point... I don't think explosives can kill her. Stop her. Bury her. Burn her.

But I severely doubt it will kill her...

[i_like_red]

Alright. I'll trust your word on it.

*He looks over at Asuka.*

I think destroying that room is the best way to both stop what is happening now and hopefully stopping others from accidently coming across or using this place again.

::Trying to get the green haired woman up, holding her.::

I didn't exactly come with a Deck to deal with this and the agent here isn't up to the task either, so... dynamite and maybe Neos punching the area really hard?

[i_like_red]

*He gives her a nod, before he holds his hand out towards Hayate.*

Give me the dynamite. I'll set this off while Asuka gets you out of here.

[soundofthestorm]

It's in my back pack and there's C4 to increase the explosive yield. Leo Corp likes to make sure problems get buried...

::Weakly pulling it to her lap, opening it.::

[i_like_red]

Alright.

*Judai watches Hayate take it out of their bag. Once they do, Judai takes it from them.*

I'll make sure you both get a head start out of here. Then I'll set this going and throw it in, adding a Neos Punch as an extra.

[soundofthestorm]

::Nods.::

[danse_etoile]

Right.

::Takes the green-haired masked woman and starts trying to move as quickly as the two of them can.::

[i_like_red]

*Judai watches them leave for a moment, until he felt they were a safe distance away. Once they were, he summons out both Burst Lady and Neos and carefully walks towards the door.

Once at the door, he quietly tries the handle, to see if the door will open.*

[duelacademynpcs]

::It's a pretty big door. Two doors really. About 50 feet tall each and probably a solid 10 to 20 feet across for each door.

They can. It takes some back work but yes, it will open.

And inside is what can be best described as a library.

A bit too alien for one but that's the best term for it.

And like everything else, this place is megalithic in scale.::

[i_like_red]

*Judai glances in, staying by the door, nothing it's huge scale and wondering if the dynamite and Neos would be enough, but it's all he had.

'Never thought this was something I'd be doing, but here we are.' he thinks to himself as he holds the fuse of the dynamite out to Burst Lady. Understanding instantly on what he wanted her to do, she holds the fuse between her fingers, lighting it, before vanishing soon after.

As soon as it's lit, he quickly throws it into the room as far as he can, before giving Neos a nod and absolutely booking it away from the door. Neos gives a nod back as Judai leaves and raises a fist, before air-punching the area, sending a massive, destructive shockwave into the room.*

::You can feel the area buckle, you definitely hit some sort of loadbearing object, or maybe simply traumatized this place of unreality. But you should definitely book it, as the rumbling happens.::

[i_like_red]

*Feeling the area buckle, he is RUNNING as fast as he can in the direction Asuka and Hayate went. Probably the fastest he's ran in a LONG time.*

[duelacademynpcs]

::Stones falling, marble(?) crashing, metal creaking. Everything past the storage room with the bike and barrel is coming down, and you've got at least two to three football fields worth of length to run.::

[i_like_red]

*OH BOY OH BOY, he had no idea this was going to bring down the entire thing. He thought it would just damage the library portion of it!

He runs harder and harder, ignoring every aching muscle in his body as pure adrenaline drives him forward. He definitely looks a little more panicked now though.*

[duelacademynpcs]

::You and the Hero Gang manage to foot it and get back to the bike, but the entire area behind you is definitely caved in or piles of stone, rock and marble. The storage room seems to be safe to stop for a moment, but you might want to cover your mouth from all the incoming dust. Or just take the door.::

[i_like_red]

*As he makes it back to the storage room, he covers his mouth and takes a look back at the area behind him, which is now all caved in, before heading out of the door in order to find Asuka, and to catch his breath in an area that's not filling with dust.*

[danse_etoile]

::You find your wife and the green haired woman waiting in the underbelly of the school, where this mess started, both breathing, exhaustedly.::

[i_like_red]

*Judai joins them and the moment he does, he collapses to his knees and attempts to catch his breath.*

That.
Was a lot more effective than I thought.

[danse_etoile]

Really?

::Looking up.::

[i_like_red]

Yeah. Honestly I was just thinking it'd damage the library part, not actually bring the entire thing down.

BUT at least it means this place shouldn't be accessible anymore.

[danse_etoile]

... Hopefully.

::Looking at the door, panting.::

... But why would Fujiwara have been here...

[i_like_red]

I'm not sure.
Like you said, it's possible a past version of him left some kind of weird memory version of himself there, in some kind of strange... I dunno... dimensional space that just showed up and added itself to the school?

I mean... *He looks over at the green haired woman.* ... do you know how this Hibiki came to learn of this place and Fujiwara's presence here?

[soundofthestorm]

He said he 'smelt it'.

And he read Wakahisa Kamala's post.
