Life Finds a Way

[damn_juicebox]

WHO: Rukia Kuchiki, Aya Brea, Captain Jack Harkness
WHAT: The trio of fighters sets out to put a stop to the terrible Indominus Rex. Or get eaten by it. Rukia's snack-sized, it could happen.
WHEN: March 2nd, 2016
WHERE: Southern Mysidia


The expedition was ludicrous. Going up against a pack of velociraptors had almost killed Rukia, and now she was going up against not only a creature that was more deadly, but excessively large and deadly? Surviving the attack might be only a slim possibility.

Even so, it wasn't as if she could just let the monster rampage as it pleased. It was too close to Mysidia to be ignored, and if it went into the city, it would have a screaming buffet of citizens to dine upon as it pleased.

At least she wasn't going it alone. On the airship ride over, she'd discovered two other Heroes had the same designs that she had. Aya she hadn't known prior to this, but Jack was her old roommate. In all the time she'd lived at that house, not once had she ever seen what he could do in a fight. This would be an enlightening experience.

All three seemed to have the right mindset for the situation, from what she could tell. Rukia discussed strategies they could employ, such as her summoning one of her beasts to cast Haste upon them before they moved against the Indominus Rex. With Red Mage equipped as well, Rukia could cast spells from a distance to pull its attention toward her while the others flanked it. Surely each of them had unique skills ready to be utilized as well.

The more they discussed their plans, the more confident Rukia felt, and it wasn't long before they arrived in the City of Mysidia and headed south into the humid jungles. Rukia drew her zanpaku'tou from its sheath, the katana clasped tightly in her hand. The Indominus Rex wasn't the only dinosaur they had to worry about; velociraptors still roamed the area, and there was the normal sized tyrannosaurus rex to worry about as well.

"...Do you think the one who posted the quest was serious about the moustache?" Rukia asked in a hushed whisper as they stalked through the jungles, following the enormous tracks of a creature that couldn't possibly be anything but their intended quarry.

The fact that this wasn't Aya's first dinosaur rodeo made this all the more ludicrous. While she wouldn't necessarily say that she knew enough to be an expert by any means, she at least would place herself before someone who had never met one of these creatures before. Not that fighting mitochondrial dinosaurs makes her more qualified than anyone else, but... you know.

She did have one advantage now that she didn't before, and that was having magic at her arsenal. It was still taking some getting used to, having magic, but Aya liked to think that she was a quick one to adapt.

In any case, while she had met these two before, Aya couldn't say she knew them. Not as much as she'd like when going on a mission to fight a T-- I'm sorry, Indominus Rex.

So she's quick to take Rukia's lead and chat up, hashing out their battle plans and where to go from there.

"I'll believe it when I see it," Aya said, an hand sliding up to her waist. She had to admit, she actually would like to see a dinosaur with a moustache. That would be something new.
