Ep 11: What Are You?

  N's group is all still chatting in the Cafeteria.

  Yuji: "OK, now, let's play the name game, N!"

  N: "I hate this..."

  N points at the spiky yellow-haired boy in a buttoned shirt from earlier.

  N: "tatsuki."

  Tatsuki: "right."

  N moves his arm and points at Jizzabelle

  N: "jizzabelle"

  Jizzabelle: "Pleasure to meet you."

  N moves his arm again and points at Cassandra.

  N: "Cassandra."

  Cassandra does a peace sign in response.

  Cassandra: "Howdy!"

  N moves his arm and points at Irina.

  N: "Irina."

  Irina is asleep on the cafeteria floor.

  N: "Uhh..."

  Cassandra: "Yeah, she does that a lot...no idea why."

  N thinks: "How did she even survive?"

  N moves his arm and points at a woman with black long hair and a short jacket with short shorts and green boots.

  N: "Holly."

  Holly: "Hi."

  N: "Is that everyone?"

  Yuji: "Well you missed one?"

  N: "No, I don't think I did."

  Ashlyn is sitting at the corner of the cafeteria table.

  Ash thinks: "Bastard didn't even regard me...not like I want anything to do with you, asshole."

  Banishment, Jacob, and Elizabeth suddenly arrive and enter the cafeteria.

  Banishment: "Seems like everyone is getting along so far."

  Holly: "Didn't you say that there would be 15 people who survived?"

  Banishment: "Only one of them survived...All the other 14 either bled out or passed away while in a coma."

  Cassandra: "fucking hell..."

  Jizzabelle: "So what exactly was all that commotion about?"

  Elizabeth: "We were just about to get to that, Jacob?"

  Jacob gets a flashback of him, Banishment, and Elizabeth sitting in the infirmary.

  Banishment: "Allow us to do all of the talking, understood?"

  Jacob: "How come?"

  Elizabeth: "We just think it's best, since you can be a little...pushing."

  Jacob: "What's that supposed to mean?"

  Elizabeth: "It's just that we want to give these people a moment of less pressure off of their shoulders right now."

  Jacob: "Still don't know what you're trying to say-"

  Banishment: "You have been rushing things lately and we think that it's time we back up from this mistake."

  Jacob quickly stands up in response.

  Jacob: "YOU CALLING ME A MURDERER?!"

  dark red seals suddenly appear all over Jacob's body and suddenly he can't move an inch.

  Banishment: "Sit down."

  Jacob looks over at Banishment.

  Jacob: "You think that this is gonna stop me?! I could easily bust out of this!"

  Banishment: "And you're well aware of what happens when you push me."

  Banishment's eyes begin to glow red.

  Banishment: "And as I said. Sit. Down."

  Jacob slowly sits back down on his chair.

  Elizabeth puts her hand on Jacob's hand.

  Elizabeth: "We're sorry to do this, but we think we should the pace of things for now."

  Jacob: "...fine."

  *Back to real-time.*

  Jacob stands in place saying nothing.

  Elizabeth: "Jacob?"

  Jacob groans and snaps his fingers.

  A projector appears and projects the omen made of black goop.

  Yuji: "What the heck is that?"

  Both Elizabeth and Banishment stand on opposite sides of the projection.

  Banishment raises his arm and points at the projection.

  Banishment: "This is an omen that Jacob had faced when he was initially exploring the city of Hestia."

  N: "Oh wow, it's an omen that looks weird, like we haven't seen a plant snake or balloon chameleons-"

  Ash suddenly SLAMS N into the cafeteria table.

  Everyone's jaws drop in shock at the same time.

  Ash: "Continue."

  Banishment: "Ahem, while yes, this omen looks like the common look as any other this one is different from the others."

  Jizzabelle pulls her glasses up.

  Jizzabelle: "What exactly makes this one so much more different?"

  Jacob talks while leaning against the nearby wall.

  Jacob: "Syn doesn't kill it."

  Everyone looks to the right to see Jacob leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

  Jizzabelle: "But I thought you established that Syn was created by your ancestor to kill and only kill Syn."

  Jacob: "That's what I thought but now, I don't know. I hit that thing with everything I had and I didn't even budge, no scrapes, no cuts, nothing. It's like that thing isn't affected by Syn."

  N picks himself up and sits down.

  N: "So what do you want us to do?"

  Ashlyn's eyes widen in shock.

  Ashlyn: "How did he-"

  Banishment: "Well we think that this omen is affected by Syn, but it's rather somehow absorbing Syn and using it against the user."

  Holly: "And what makes you think of that?"

  Jacob rolls up his right arm's sleeve revealing his entire arm completely burnt.

  Jacob: "The slightest bit of contact, then the next thing I know, the fucker burnt me alive."

  Elizabeth: "I was barely able to heal even the majority of his injuries."

  Tatsuki: "Soooo....you want us to kill something that can use the one thing that is supposed to kill them all......FUN!"

  Banishment: "Assuming that this omen is in its weakest state it's best to attack at this very moment."

  Holly suddenly stands up and walks up to Banishment.

  Holly: "Let me ask you this. Why can't you guys do it yourselves? You all clearly seem very capable."

  Banishment: "We want to give humanity a chance at fighting. which is why we started this in the first place. And trust me when I say this we aren't as strong as you think we are."

  Jacob and Elizabeth say nothing.

  Yuji: "Come on, let's just all calm down, hmm?"

  Holly backs up then sits back down and scoffs.

  Banishment: "Without any more interruptions, you will be sent out there once again shortly."

  Jizzabelle: "Quite an event for our second day."

  Tatsuki is sitting there with his cheeks puffed.

  Tatsuki thinks: "I'M SCARED TO TALK."

  N is casually sitting when Ash grabs him by the hair and whispers in his ear.

  Ashlyn: "If you even think to come near me, I will end you."

  N: "Someone woke up on the bitchy side."

  Aslyn lets go of N's hair and walks away.

  Yuji walks over and sits next to N.

  Yuji: "Is...everything alright?"

  N: "The girl's just a bit worried about you I guess."

  Cassandra picks up Irina and piggybacks her.

  Cassandra: "Well, come on. You heard the bandage man!"

  Everyone gets up and heads to the meeting room.

  N: "The hell was that about?"

  Everyone arrives at the meeting room as Banishment opens a rift into Hestia.

  Banishment: "Here's your mission. Find the omen and finish the job. good luck, everyone."

  N thinks: "Here we go, again."

  Everyone enters the rift as the rift closes behind them.

  Elizabeth walks and hugs Banishment from behind.

  Elizabeth: "Are you sure they can do this?"

  Banishment: "If they survived the last attack, then they're the best chance we've got."

  Jacob is walking past the meeting room then comes to a sudden stop, then PUNCHES the wall next to him.

  Jacob: "I haven't changed have I, Ava?"

  N and the other arrive at the intersection Jacob was attacked.

  Yuji: "ok so where do...we....start..."

  Yuji notices a giant shadow then turns around and looks at a bear with yellow fur behind him.

  A giant dark hand appears and SMASHES The bear into the ground.

  Holly: "Got him!"

  The bear suddenly twitches and turns into Tatsuki.

  Tatsuki picks him up from the punch.

  Tatuski: "THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!"

  N: "Oh great, I'm working with a fucking furry."

  Holly: "That's your ability?"

  Tatsuki: "Yeah...I can turn into any animal that I have memorized, the problem is the longer I stay in the form the more of the animal I become....so where exactly is this thi-"

  The omen of black goop suddenly appears right behind Tatsuki as Tatsuki gets a chill down his spine.
