[Tsuzuki is seen sitting against a rock surface. He is holding a limp form in his arms. The lighting is dim, so it's hard to tell who it is. Tsuzuki is soaked from the way his dark hair is clinging to his face. He is staring straight ahead of him, serious and cold. Most likely at whatever is making that god-awful racket in the background. A white furred tiger leans over to nudge him.]

How you holding up, Tsuzuki? You've been holding this barrier for a while now.

It will hold, Byakko. Help will be here soon.

Tsuzuki...

[Byakko the tiger glances at the gollem hovering inside the barrier with them. His inner kitten can't resist a swat at it. Tsuzuki cracks a smile for the first time.]

If only Addy could see that... Hm!

[The feed goes out on Byakko smacking the gollem.]

[ooc: Tsuzuki, Byakko, and Axel are inside of a barrier that also conceals their presence, waiting for people to get down to their location to deal with the Kraken. I'm guessing that the Cerberus and Nessie are making it hard for people to get down there, since they are both in the way of getting to the Kraken based on their locations.. It's been a while since Tsuzuki got there. I went ahead with it since you sounded okay with it when we talked yesterday, Dazha. Axel is gonna be okay!]

Damn, I should be there... [His voice sounds tired and in pain.] Yah sure yer gettin' help soon, Asato? I could...

[Tsuzuki's voice is tired, but you can tell he's trying not to sound it.]

Yes. Help is coming. I know its coming.

Yah know. Yer not sure.

It will be here.

[Byakko whimpers in the background.]

[Sighs.] Wait for me. [Sounds of him standing up.]

Duo... This creature might be too much for you.

[Oh yeah, he's fatigued.]

...Yah couldn't take it? [Duo wasn't a man who gets afraid, but the idea of a creture who survived a shinigami wasn't appealing at all. He learnt long time ago to think before acting. He wasn't going to add more victims to the list this time.] I'll look for backup. Hang in there, Asato, don't this to me.

I didn't get the chance. By the time I surfaced with Axel, Byakko had been flung into a wall after being grabbed. He can't fly now.

[He has to take a deep breath.]

I got over to him and put up a barrier as soon as I could.

Yah did great, Asato, just... hang in there. I 'll send someone soon, I -ugh. I promise.

Duo? You don't sound so good. Are you alright?

[Groans, he's sick of being asked that. But he also never lies. He dodges.]

Don't worry 'bout me, I'm a survivor. Concentrate in keepin' that barrier thin'.

Duo. Please, take care of yourself. I've already felt death, and it wasn't a monster's... Please...

I KNOW! [That his fist hitting a wall.] I know... It was Apollo's. [You can recognize that tone, Tsuzuki, you use it often. It's teh voice of someone who feels useless.]

That was why his connection died... Oh Duo...

[He knows, all too well. His voice is still tired, but he speaks clearly and sternly.]

Please take care of yourself! Please!

I'M FINE! The God of Death brings death 'roun 'im but he never gets the fuckin' chance of goin' with 'em!

[He takes a deep breath. He doesn't like esploxding like that. But he was in control back home, here he feels lost.]

Told yah, stop worryin' 'bout me and concentrate in yer shield.

I know, Duo... Believe me... I know...

How can I not worry about loosing my friends...?

[That question. Argh, how he hated that question. He just repeated what he's been chanting to himself all those years.]

'Cuz if yah care 'bout yer friends, yah don't wanna make 'em upset. And they'll be very upset if somethin' happens to yah. Do it for 'em. Concentrate, for 'em.

Duo...

[He pauses to bite his tongue. He didn't have to energy to fight someone right now.]

Alright... You concentrate on yourself... You hear me... I'm tired to loosing people...

They'll need a lot to brin' this soldier down, Asato, trust me on this one. Duo Maxwell never lies.

I'll hold you to that... [He sounds exhausted and getting worse.]
