The village itself in whatever bizarre reality that Nova had become embroiled in was nearly identical to the layout and structure of the village of Kiri, if only Kiri had been left unattended and allowed to decay for some amount of time. Building faces had begun to crumble and nature had become to shove itself through the cracks in the streets, when paired with the ever-present mist it reminded Nova of a mixture of a horror movie and her nightmares. Nova let her senses wander out from Doku Tsuki's shell and she felt the absence of life in the streets as sat within the hull of Kurogokegamu for the first time in a while. The duo of heavy metal puppets on the street was a noise one could hear from far off, though it completely masked the light-footed steps of Nova's partner whom she had found wandering the woods bordering the village on her own. The redheaded Karisuma that Nova had grown to be so fond of had found the village through her own means, and it was purely chance that Nova had stumbled in her direction though having such a delicate sensory of the movement around her as well as familiarity with the form in question certainly gave an advantage. Nova was able to pick up Izumi's light footsteps long before either girl would see each other through the trees and mist, though the thunks of the puppets legs tapping into the ground would be audible from a short distance. As she approached she could try to speak softly but loud enough to hear in the direction of Izumi to warn her of her approach, “Izumi, It's me, Nova”.
Nova hoped that Izumi would recognize her as she had very little desire to be met with an unexpected fireball of some sort, and as an additional precaution would send Doku Tsuki ahead of her and though its visage was a frightening one it would be a recognizable one. From the trees Nova would emerge, still seated comfortably within Kurogokegamu's shell. With a smile on her face, she would direct the puppet over to Izumi and clamber out to give her a hug. With a peck on the cheek Nova would draw back, “I'm glad you are okay, I was worried about you. I ended up finding Lord Osada almost right after going through so I was alright but I had no clue where you went-”. While Nova had more to say, her voice was cut off by a piercing scream that cut through the mist. The high pitched noise echoed through the forest, seeming to come from all directions at once. Letting her senses wander out again from the scorpion puppet, Nova wondered if there was something she had missed somehow when approaching Izumi. Again the pained howl would tear through the mist as Nova located what she could only assume was the source. Several meters beneath the earth under the village itself were what appeared to be two groups nearing a stand off. Now searching more closely to uncover how they were there, Nova now noted a series of tunnels and rooms that seemed to cross back and forth through eachother. As well as the rooms themselves Nova could 'see' the contents of the rooms themselves, at which she instantly understood what it was. The walls were lined with caskets and coffins, packed so tightly that there was no earth visible between them.
In the center of what appeared to be a larger room offset from the hall was a group of five.... creatures that loomed above the height of any normal human. In addition to their startling size, Nova noted that each one of them lacked a heartbeat that made a living human so easy to spot. Cowering behind a pile of debris in the same room was a group of what Nova could only assume were women and children from their size and movements. She would gasp and point in the direction they needed to go and slid quickly into the seat of Doku Tsuki, “Get in Kurogokegamu close the lid, and be prepared for a fight.... there's something in the tunnels beneath us. Ill tunnel down to them with Doku Tsuki, then I'll have Kurogokegamu follow. Load the cannon and then get out and do your thing. If you want to fight from inside of it feel free, tap your foot in the direction you want to go and you will.”. With that the shell of the scorpion would slam shut and latch with a click, the cannon on the tail switching between the loaded options and swaying overhead ready to strike. With deft motions, the pincers of the scorpion would tear into the earth with ease, leaving a mound of overturned dirt behind her as she disappeared. The moment Izumi would close the lid the puppet would jolt into motion and follow, thought not meant for tunneling it was able to follow behind Doku Tsuki's in its trail with ease.
Nova would near the room, and sense all occupants of it turning their head to the ceiling in unison as a rumbling seemed to overtake the room and dust and bits of the ceiling would drop to the floor. Though the direction of attack was an unexpected one, Doku Tsuki was not made for stealth. The room was almost twenty meters beneath the earth which the construct reached in only a moment. The last several meters before emerging into the room, Nova was surprised to find, was made entirely of caskets stacked atop each other with earth layered between them. Her stomach would turn slightly as the wood would splinter along with the long dried bones contained within, a feeling she would have to shove aside as she busted through the wall to meet the beasts. Towering at over two meters tall, five gruesome figures in various stages of decomposition turned to face her, each armed with a sword and helm. Nova was nearly thankful for the helm the covered most of their faces, as when one howled in anger Nova would catch a glimpse of the pulpy mess that had once been nearly human. In the corner the children were sobbing and mothers trying to hold their children to their chest in fear as what they could only assume was another monstrosity tore through the tunnels they once hid within for protection. From higher on the wall of caskets, Doku Tsuki's tail would dart through and with a fire a projectile that whistled through the air to the side of the beasts opposite the villagers. A dull thud would echo through the room before a ringing explosion and a flash would fill the room. Again her stomach would sink as she realized the mistake she may have just made. A crack would be audible as the ceiling and walls in the corner of the room behind the undead started to sink. The flash had been from the explosion of one of the electrically charged missiles that she had crafted not long before this. Metal shrapnel rocket outward in every direction, bit sinking in to the all the surfaces withing fifteen meters, including the undead. They did not seem to pay them any mind still staring at her with empty eye sockets and decayed scowls though there were several gaping holes in their dried and disintegrating flesh, electricity still crackling through the metal shards embedded there.
Nova blinked as they seemed to not care about the metal impaled in their bodies and Kurogokegamu would emerge from the wall as well, Standing behind the metal scorpion with Izumi within. “Go for their heads!!”
