Styx Institute - Control Room

Whoa, wait, just hold on! |
|
Do you need something else? |
Technician B |
At least take these with you. |
|
What have we here? ID cards, a map of HQ, some transceivers...and three keychains? |
Technician B |
You can't use the building's internal comm system right now.
But analog wireless transceivers don't require an internet connection or signal repeater.
You should be able to communicate with them as long as there's not much obstructing the signal.
Those "keychains" are actually activation keys for our last resort: high-powered anti-Phantom weaponry. |
|
Come again? |
Technician B |
Tartarus is an enormous underground containment facility comprised of three towers.
The more dangerous Phantoms are kept in the lower sectors, closer to the bottom.
And the most dangerous ones are the three Titans in sector 12, on the lowest level.
Those are the original Phantoms, the ones said to have been sealed here since the Age of Gods. |
Technician B |
There's a hangar in sector six in each tower.
And each hangar holds one Thunder Spear.
Those are the weapons the Jupiter family forebear supposedly used to seal the Titans.
Those activation keys will allow you to take the spears out of the hangars.
Tower 1 holds the Phantom of Stone— The Earth Titan.
Tower 2 holds the Phantom of Ice— the Crystal Titan.
And Tower 3 holds the Phantom of Flame— the Magma Titan.
No mage could take on a Titan without a special weapon, no matter how exceptional they were.
Insert the activation key, and the navi system will tell you how to use them.
We've no choice but to entrust them to you. I'm so sorry we're not able to do more. |
|
You hardly need to feel responsible. We're choosing to venture into Tartarus.
After all, it seems I was the one who incited Ortho's actions.
We'll gratefully accept the Thunder Spears. |
Technician B |
The spears can fire extremely powerful blasts of magic lightning...
But they require time to recharge after each use.
Now that the island is on emergency power...
You won't find many places to charge their technomantic energy in Tartarus.
Just remember, you have to charge them again after you use them.
We'll do everything we can to support you. And please, be safe. |
|
Now then... According to the staff, Tartarus has three towers.
I think we should split into three teams. We must save what little time we have to mitigate the risk of a complete loss. |
|
We'll have to go through all three anyway, or else we might miss Grim. |
|
Very true. As for the teams...
Since we're both juniors and housewardens, I believe it would be best for Leona and I to lead separate teams.
I'll take Tower 1. Leona can take Tower 2. That leaves Tower 3... |
|
I'll lead the third team.
I've been housewarden the second-longest, after Leona. |
|
Very well. I trust you have no objections, Azul? |
|
None at all. Riddle has far better grades than me in both the classroom and in the field. |
|
Epel, [MC], and I shall go with Vil.
Battles are all about teamwork, and it's easier to support someone you've spent more time with.
It'll be easier for us to safeguard [MC] as well. |
| I'll try not to slow you down. | I'm just worried about Grim... |
|
That leaves Azul and Jamil. |
|
We just learned about our magical properties and performance in detail from those exams.
So I think Jamil and I should team up with the leaders whose magic is most compatible with ours. |
|
Hmph. Snakes and octopuses are both schemers that use others as a shield when push comes to shove.
I don't care who comes with me. Just pick someone. |
|
Then I'll join Riddle in Tower 3.
Leona's desiccating signature spell would be a poor fit with a merman. |
|
All right, then I'm with Leona. ...I look forward to working with you. |
|
Then let's get rolling.
Just keep this in mind...
The first person to reach the Underworld gate gets to beat up Radish Sprout without anyone there to stop 'em.
How's that for motivation?
"Just sit tight and you can go back to school in the morning," my foot.
I don't appreciate gettin' dragged into this mess. Grr... |
|
The prospect of getting to smack Idia is a rather inspired incentive, Leona. |
|
This isn't a drill, people. We need to stay sharp at all times. |
|
I know! Why don't we all huddle up before going our separate ways? |
|
What? |
|
What possible purpose could—ack! Stop tugging on me, Rook! |
|
Come, come! Everyone, join shoulder to shoulder with your neighbor! |
|
Woohoo, a pre-game huddle! That's what I'm talkin 'about! |
|
I'm pretty sure not even our school's sports teams do any kind of huddle before games... |
|
I'm not really into the whole jock thing, you know. |
|
Tch. Why do I have to do this...? |
|
Heh. Why not?
It's not often one battles for the fate of the entire world. |
|
Okay, we're huddled. |
|
Now what? |
|
I'm not well-versed in the rules of a team huddle...
But I believe that generally, someone calls out an order, and the group disperses. |
|
Look, can we just get this over with? I could cut the awkwardness with a knife... |
|
[MC], would you do the honors of giving us a rallying cry? |
|
Good idea. Otherwise this group is going to start bickering about who says what. |
|
Make sure to put some spirit into it. |
| We're gonna make it back to school TOGETHER! | NIGHT RAVEN, NIGHT RAVEN, GO GO GO! |
Tartarus - Underworld Gate
|
Idia! The Night Raven College students are heading to Tartarus.
They REALLY want to stop our plan. |
|
Ugh... Those troublemakers always get in the way. It never fails. |
|
Ahaha! Check it out! Looks like they're splitting into three teams to clear Tartarus.
That's so cool! It's just like the Night Raven Quest game we talked about! |
|
It's gonna take more time to melt all the ice in Tartarus and unlock the gate to the Underworld...
Ortho, go play with 'em some. |
|
Sweet! I was afraid we wouldn't be able to game together anymore. This is great! |
|
And this time...I'm the boss!
Ahahahahahaha! |
