Disclaimer: I do not own this particular incarnation of Claimh Solas - Nexon does.
A/N: Again, I suggest looking up "Mabinogi G9 Final" to see what this thing looks like. This could be considered a sequel to "Simulation"; everyone in this is in the simulation, so no actual threat of death. There also some very minor spoilers for Chapter 15 of "Survival of Hope".
Background: Izzy's simulation machinery is perfected and being used normally. Everyone is very used to combat. Everyone uses whatever weapons they are described as using.
Everyone except for one person screamed when they saw the monster.
"The hell is that thing?!" Matt shouted out in panic, moving backwards and gripping his metal bo staff as though it were his lifeline.
"Claimh Solas, the alchemic transmuted weapon of the god Nuadha?" Izzy answered helpfully.
"You're not helping!" Matt snapped back. "You could have maybe warned us about this!"
He never had the chance to say anything else as the demonic being turned itself towards him and let out a screech, its glowing eyes contrasting against the rust colored skull-like head. It charged directly at Matt, who coincidentally screamed and teleported to the other side of the arena.
Tai on the other hand rushed forward, taking the opportunity to stab the entire length of his sword into the monster. The monster made no gesture that it had noticed, and turned, swiping at him with a claw and throwing him off to the side.
He coughed a little as Kari came rushing to his side, her hands already glowing in preparation for healing. "Now I'm just sorry that Davis had to be the test subject with this thing," he glowered, glaring a little at Izzy who was busy shooting at the monster from further away.
Kari sighed, letting her light wash over Tai. "Me too..." she gasped as she saw Sora engulfed by a cloud of darkness that the monster had breathed out. "Sora!" she shouted, running forward to aid her as Tai stood, preparing a few balls of flame.
Mimi and TK beat her there, both trying to slash away at the monster as a distraction while pulling Sora away. Again, the monster did not seem to notice; the darkness spread, and suddenly all three of them were thrown backwards as it attacked.
Matt had recovered, and was throwing balls of pure energy towards it. "Izzy, what difficulty setting did you put this thing on?" he asked plaintively.
"Uh... the hardest?"
"... Izzy, we're gonna die."
They watched helplessly as the monster charged at Joe, who unfortunately did not have the ability to teleport, and had no choice but to run. The monster was too fast, and Joe was soon flying across the room.
"This is the worst training idea eveeerrrr!!"
