The Bakery (Elric's B rank mission)

[Dealer's Button]

Where It all Began


Looming upon the inner slums of the district lingers a simple run down bakery. In the days before its gruesome fall of fame its now rusty bricks was once shimmering red as laughter ran throughout the building. Time have taken away that luster now the bricks are caked with decay its structure exposed from the paint leaving it. Silence eerily lingers in its atmosphere only the subtle squeak from the rusty window seals. The name was once displayed with such grace and welcoming tones but now its letters remain broken as dried blood paint some of it's message.

Windows broken gives who dare venture close a obscured view of its once lively inside. Old banners remain inviting people yet dust gathered upon them displaying the name Sugar Sprinkles Bakery. Broken chairs and shattered glass from cupcake display cases makes the wooden floor glisten in the faint sunlight. Posters of workers now torn down laid out in the middle most of the text on their achievements burned from the victim's love ones angry revolt. Around the walls are the blood from the past as it remains caked against the walls from times long gone.

Snow spiralled slowly down from the heavens as Elric walked slowly towards the deserted bakery; his red eyes were fixed straight ahead as he tried to ignore the sense of dread that was rising within him. As he drew closer he began to wonder if the bakery would have anything inside at all, it did not look like it had been used in years and he did not see why anyone would use such a rundown place as a base of operations. Especially with the suspicions the bakery had drawn before, he had the unmistakable feeling that he was walking directly into a trap.

A sigh escaped Elric’s lips, it did not matter now, he would not run away from a threat because of this feeling. Stormbringer chuckled inside his head
‘A wise decision Master, it would be such a shame if I did not get drawn today’ the sword was the main reason he felt such dread on this day, if Ace’s friend did show up he would have to be cautious about drawing the blade. His hand drifted to the hilt of the sword at his side, if Stormbringer was drawn today it was unlikely that friend would survive.

Resting upon the side of the building a empty vessel resided. The owner's soul was temporarily gone scouting the area. chocolate brown optics appearing from once white orbs Kota shook his head. It was weird that there was nothing strange yet his soul could not reach certain areas of the bakery. Brushing off the gentle snowflakes upon his white stands of hair the soul caster stood up. Looking around the warden noticed the shonobi he was looking for. "well looks like we have a dandy whippersnapper"[/b] Kota said a brief moment before appearing right beside the albino.

His face was covered with a very familiar jester mask, which Elric have seen before. Giving the shinobi a soft wave the chocolate eyed individual removed his jester mask allowing his white hair to fall over his left eye. "i am ze Kota"[/b] he exclaimed with a wide smirk upon his lips as the arctic wind blew across the landscape. Briefly the warden's chocolate brown eyes shifted towards the bakery. The windows eerily creaked as the shadows inside shifted subtly.Today was the day for his soul to finally learn what been keeping it out for so long.

"let see what can interest us here"[/b] He said happily as he skipped performing a small twirl. Even though it seemed like the individual was not paying attention his sensor abilities was already illustrating the details needed. Arriving at the door Kota gave it a soft bump with his rear allowing it to open slowly. As it opened its rusted hinges cracked in screeched in agony making the horrible sound fill the air. The smell of sugar was evident in the entrance room as soon they entered yet something else lingered as well. It was foul and it seemed to be coming from right beneath them.

OOC: Sorry for my slow posting Dex I have been busy recently

IC:
Elric’s hand flew to his sword hilt as a man in a jester’s mask appeared beside him, his red eyes narrowed as he focused on that mask his whole body tensing as he prepared to unleash Stormbringer. The tension drained out of him however as the man introduced himself
“You must be Ace’s friend, my name is Elric” his voice was calm and formal almost an opposite of the joviality with which this clown spoke “I assume you already know the mission” as he spoke these words the man skipped forward and twirled and as he did so Elric’s face contorted into a scowl. This man was a joke; it was almost an insult for him to be paired up with a fool such as this.
‘Kill him master’ Stormbringer’s voice emerged once again ‘Ace would probably even thank you for it, weeding out this man from the gene pool would be beneficial for everyone’

The disgust in his eyes did not fade as the man opened the door with his rear; it was almost as if he was making fun of this, making fun of the slaughter that had happened here all those years ago. For the moment he managed to smother the anger that was building inside of him and instead stepped inside the bakery. The sickly sweet smell of sugar drifted through the air of the building but below the floor the smell of something foul came through the floor.
“We should try and find a way down” Elric said as he began to look for a way to access the lower floor.

ooc- alrighty for this mission to play out one person must get hit with this set up substance from the puppet you may decide upon your post

Entering this forgotten realm the footsteps emitted from the individuals made the blood soaked wood creak. The foul smells radiated from underneath only giving a hint to what lies bellow. Kota glanced at Elric noticing his disgust he simply shrugged his shoulder not fazed by the other's opinions. Chocolate brown eyes briefly observed the walls noticing the blood stained walls. It was obvious death shrouded this location yet the bodies was never found. Standing silently the warden lifted up one of his fingers twirling it in a circle as he pondered. After a few moments a smile embraced his lips. "weird yet exciting strange but inviting"[/b] he chanted with a happy tone a he walked towards the dry goods storage. As he stepped a slight laughter gently emitted cloaked by the whining creaks of the old floorboards."yep my very pale partner i am aware of the details of this mission"[/b] he mentioned with a slight smirk as he reached the area desired.

Placing a hand upon the door the laughing jester gently pushed it open. The rusty door hinges shrilled in the air as a soft ticking sound began to occur. As his eyes caught onto this slight noise Kota glanced at Elric shifting his head slightly towards the danger. Something was wrong and the intensity of the clicking was out pacing his detecting abilities. Before he could say anything a bag of powdered sugar dropped from a secrete compartment landing between the shinobi. A note rested upon it which read "a sweet treat for a grand opening" it mocked clearly written in foul blood.

Immediately a puppet imitating a baby surged forward as it focused on the group. A crown razor sharp upon its skull leaking some sort of substance as a shrilling cry emitted from it. Its vessel sliced through the air in the blink of an eye. Its giggling filling up the air as it sought to tear into Elric's or Kota's flesh upon their legs. Giving them not enough time it was more than likely for it to hit one of them. If this was correct the cut would not be lethal instead it would open up the victim to the world the vile enigma desired.

[The Champion Eternal]

No sane man would ever consider entering a place such as this, blood ran down from the walls and the stench from below only grew stronger as they went further inside. His companion did not seem to be affected by the madness of this place however, he still smiled and his tone was always happy. Elric began to think that this place suited the jester perfectly and was beginning to lose some of his worry about killing this man. Inside his head Stormbringer laughed
‘Do you see Master? Do you see’ Stormbringer’s voice rose as he continued to speak ‘Ace insults you by sending this fool on this mission with you, you the king of Melniboné isn’t that enough to justify his death. Even if you do not wish Ace’s death you must see the benefit in this fool dying’

Elric was not given time to respond to the sword’s urgings as a bag dropped from the ceiling above. The albino turned on the spot to face it and read the words which written in blood, as he read them he had an overwhelming sense of danger. He threw himself to the side but the puppet had not gone for him, it had gone for Kota. Elric looked towards the jester his red eyes cold and hard as he looked at the baby puppet which had cut into Kota’s flesh. He moved quickly and tried to slam his fist down towards the puppet and Stormbringer laughed as he knew his time was almost here.

Kota stayed silent as his chocolate brown eyes watched the crown of the puppet's head slice into his leg. Blood slowly oozed down the limb as the substance leaked into the warden's body. For a brief second a wicked smile appeared upon the jester's face. As fast as it appeared it vanished returning back to a calm expression. Slowly yet increasing in intensity laughter began to fill the air only noticeable by the victim's ears. Shadowy figures slithered upon the walls while on the opposite side of the dry storage room a painting appeared. Upon it showed a mother holding a child.

"sweet as can be"[/b] the mysterious painting foretold upon its surface. Where the woman's chest resided there was a hole maybe holding a needed artifact. If Elric decided to reach his hand into the foul abyss it could unlock one of the greatest secretes found in Yukigakure.

While the albino had to decide upon this critical decision the infant puppet continued to giggle as it laid on the floor motionless. Inspecting further they could identify the foul construction of this torture device. It's body was created from the body of a child the infant's body still leaking out blood from its past life. Inside one of its eyes a small shimmer could be noticed. Out in the main hall one of the employee posters fell off of the wall unveiling a small notch into its surface.

[The Champion Eternal]

Elric watched as the world began to descend into madness, shadows that no creature cast danced across the walls and on the wall facing the albino a portrait formed. Red eyes looked over to the jester who had finally lost that stupid smile; it looked like with him injured he was finally able to take this seriously. The albino walked over to the still giggling puppet taking in the crude device, it was made out of a child, blood still leaking from its dead corpse. It looked like something a melnibonéan would create; he thought that he had left the cruelty of that nation behind but it seemed that these people could be just as cruel.
“You are ok aren’t you?” His voice was calm as if he was unaffected by the madness that had taken place, and as he spoke he crushed the infant puppet underneath an armoured foot.

His attention then turned back to the portrait, his crimson eyes focused on the hole in the woman’s chest. He began to walk towards the picture wondering what lay inside the darkness of that opening, as Elric reached it he began to put his hand towards the hole. Inside his head Stormbringer began to laugh insanely
‘You are showing unusual courage in this master, I thought you had lost your backbone when you started following that upstarts orders’ Elric braced himself and plunged his hand into the depths of the mysterious hole.

[Dealer's Button]

The modified corps giggled one last time as it became crushed beneath Elric's foot. A metallic rattle echoed as the a small pin rolled out from the puppet's eye. Blood gashed out of the modified monstrosity while the clover upon the key glistened in the faint light. "im all dandy and such o tis is fun"[/b] Kota replied to the albino his usual smile become twisted by some unseen influence. "the blood shall spill o it shall spill my fair lady" the jester silently spoke his smile even widening making his face twist in a deranged fashion. Chocolate brown eyes blinked as if they was momentary blocked away from the individual's consciousness. Looking around the warden scratched his head slightly before his eyes laid upon the needle like key. bending over to pick it up his ears could hear deranged laughing as the green gem embedded inside the clover insignia glistened.

Reaching inside the dark abyss soft clicks echoed into the atmosphere. Outside of the room a keyhole began to appear out of the wall where a employee poster use to be. A precious item resided in this realm as well. If the shinobi decided to reach deep into it without minding the mysterious clicking his hand would rest upon a unique pacifier. There was a unique feature to this item as it displayed a barbed needle with a very religious insignia engraved upon it.

[The Champion Eternal]

For a second the albino’s hand froze mid motion as a soft ticking began to echo out across the room, the realisation that this was probably a trap seized his mind. He looked back at Kota as he wondered whether he should carry on and as he saw the man’s face he knew that something was terribly wrong. The smile had changed no longer one of joy and happiness, it was now instead twisted and mad he had not seen a smile like that in a long time.
‘Kill him master, he is obviously insane only a threat to you and this mission. You would be a fool not to take this opportunity’ for a moment Elric’s free hand laid on the hilt of his sword wondering whether to cut this person down now. But he let his grip go and turned his attention back to the portrait ‘You will regret this master, your cowardice is now placing your own life in danger’
“It might be nothing, no point killing a person so close to the kagé if it is” Elric’s voice was a whisper barely audible to anyone but himself, Stormbringer laughed but did not speak again.

Elric finally resumed his movement thrusting his hand deeper into the depths of that hole, his hand grasped around an object and he felt pain surge into his hand. He quickly pulled it out ignoring the pain for the time being and then looked at the pacifier with the needle which was sticking out of it. Upon the needle itself was a strange symbol that he did not recognise he quickly pocketed the pacifier and turned back to face kota.

[Dealer's Button]

Feeling as if his mind returned from a deep slumber Kota blinked a couple of times. His chocolate brown optics glanced at the glistening key while a soft chuckle echoed in the background of his thoughts. Unlike before his usual smile returned joyous and curious not deranged and mad like before. This smile slightly dropped as Elric showed a brief sign of pain before pulling out a strange artifact. Biting on the side of his bottom lip the warden saw the symbol dread washing over his vessel. A vile history have been woven around that very symbol a trilogy of blood and twisted pleasure. Not wanting to expose that information to the albino he stored that concern in the back of his thoughts.

"o look at its gleam a vibrant green"[/b] the jester said with a wide smile upon his lips as he held up the clover jeweled key. Leaning near the shinobi he wiggled it in front of the individual's crimson eyes. "while you was observing there that ticking noise was evident yes"[/b] he said keeping his tone happy and curious. Whistling a little tune as he walked out of the dry storage room his eyes noticed a small engraved key hole upon the wall. Moving his hand slightly Kota signaled the shinobi to see this clue.

Walking over it carefully and gently the warden inserted the key into the hole. Slowly he twisted it the smell of death oozing out of the cracks the secrete door outlined. As the key was turned a small jingle began to play from one of the abandoned speakers as the door began to slide behind the wall revealing a hidden set of stairs leading downward. Taking a slight step forward the foul stench of decay immediately invaded his nostrils. Reacting to this foul stench Kota stepped back a few steps. His chocolate brown eyes stared into the dark abyss his mind dreading what kept hidden throughout the centuries.

[The Champion Eternal]

Elric felt relief wash over him as the jester’s smile changed back from the twisted grin it had turned into, it seemed like whatever madness had gripped the man had faded.
‘It will not last for long master, kill him before it returns’ Elric shook his head and whispered
“Not yet, I will only unleash you if there is no other choice” Stormbringer barked out a laugh but did not speak again descending into silence once more. As Kota spoke the albino finally noticed the key that he held tightly in his hand, Elric nodded in response to the jester and followed him towards the key hole.

The stench of death hit Elric as Kota opened the entrance to the basement; his hand went to his nose trying to bloke out the foul smell. It reminded him of the torture chambers of Melniboné and all the horrors that took place inside them. For a moment Elric simply looked into the darkness wondering what awaited them below this accursed place, he moved forcing himself downwards into the hellhole trying his best to ignore the feeling of dread that was rising inside of him.

[Dealer's Button]

As the duo traveled downward into the foul abyss the soft clank of metal deviously echoed in the darkness. Soon the darkness began to shift into visibility as lights glowed in the background. The stench of decay continued to evade their nostrils. Kota carefully glanced around with his chocolate brown eyes as they stepped off of the last step. Ahead of the brave shinobi was a ramp lined with a decorated railing to lead them up to the main show. Gently hanging off of this railing was colorful balloons each with a smile painted red.

When they arrived to the celebration the true sense of dread radiated. Displayed in full foul madness was a banner "Welcome to the Party"[/b] it exclaimed the words painted with blood and glistening teeth to give it a smile. Underneath this banner was a table with a few unfortunate guests as they remain lifeless their skeletal faces twisted in agony. Sitting upon three chairs was three skeletons bleached to glistening perfection. Muscle lazily hung off of their bones as they continued to smile while a mysterious tray of red velvet cupcakes was placed in the middle of the table. A crimson pool of blood surrounded them as the over hanging hooks dripped their blood upon them. Upon the walls had hands stolen from their owners stitched upon the walls the blood coating the words "give yourself a hand"[/b] as the stench continued to pollute the air.

Placed throughout the room was balloons crafted from lungs. The helium tanks provided them to expand with each pump yet sometimes the owner's blood spraying upon the walls. The crimson reveled trickled down the machine staining the wooden floor even more.

Looking over at the side near the entrance was a coat rack made from a individual's ribs and spinal cord. Kota avoided touching any of the vile decorations walking towards the table. He beckoned Elric to fallow his curiosity ordering him to investigate. A look of disgust embraced the wardens face as he threw up in his mouth slightly. Complimenting the color of the frosting was a eyeball the blood leaking down the cupcake's surface adding a red tent to the white frosting.

As the jester remained silent the crimson hooks above echoed as they clanked against each other. Blood trickled down the walls as the remains of flesh and meat hung onto the hooks.They have been invited to a party yet one ruled by madness and sadistic glee.

[The Champion Eternal]

Light shone out ahead as Elric continued to descend for in silence, as he walked his crimson eyes studied the balloons wondering who had painted the grins which adorned their lifeless faces. The effort that had been put into it seemed pointless to the Albino, they would not frighten anyone who had got this far into the place and he saw no other possible reason why they would be painted such. He brought his mind back away from the pointless musings about balloons as he stepped into the true scene of madness.

The atrocities in the room equalled those that he had seen in the torture chambers back in Melniboné and the fact that even these people coulddi this unsettled him. It was not the brutality of what had been done; instead it was in the flippant way that it was displayed almost as if whoever had done this had enjoyed their gruesome work. He strode over to one of the skeletal bodies as the feeling of dread continued to build inside him, as he reached the table he stopped his eyes drawn to the cupcakes that rested on the table. They seemed out of place with everything else in the room, a sweet contrast to the bloodshed that was all around them.

A drop of blood stained his white hair and he looked up making out the hint of flesh impaled on bloody hooks on the ceiling. Whoever had done this was insane without a doubt; there was no point to this cruelty it was simply being cruel for its own sake. His eyes drifted towards Kota who seemed to be taking this a lot worse than he was; at least he wasn’t smiling that twisted grin again. He turned back towards the table and reached out taking one of the cupcakes that seemed so out of place.

He scanned every inch of the strange baked good, trying to make a single bit of sense of it. Nothing came to him and a weary sigh escaped him as he set the cake back down on the dead’s tea table. He wondered if the conductor to this madness would show up and whether or not he could keep his own madness in check when he did.

[Dealer's Button]

Kota glanced at the vile treats the distant laughing going inside his mind. As each chuckle bashed against his ear drums motivating his lips to twist and turn as the sensation began to overcome his own consciousness. The white haired jester glanced at Elric a unique violet highlighting his chocolate brown optics. Sweat trickling down his brow the warden looked away his eyes glued upon the cupcakes. The drug from before constantly breaking down his fortitude the shadowy imps chuckling deviously at the individuals turmoil. However, immediately the panic and disgust suddenly vanished instead the smile of a madman appeared upon his lips. Swiftly and diligently he placed his hand on the back of Elric's scalp as a slight red aura surrounded the soul caster's body. Without any more hesitation chakra surged out of his body traveling through his hand into the albino's mind. Once it entered a distant tune played inside the individuals just a few words. "o my fair lady"[/b] it echoed as the true enigma began to establish himself inside the shinobi's consciousness.

Immediately Elric vision and mind would be drifted into a black abyss. Slowly the room began to fill with light and gruesome decorations just as the room his body was original in. However, at the end of the table was a turn around chair with the same symbol that was upon the needle like instrument found earlier. "the blood shall be churned and baked my fair lady"[/b] the mysterious figure song in a delight tune as his one of his hands twirled one of his fingers. Right across the table two chairs appeared a seat for the albino shinobi and his sub personality storm bringer , which manifested beside its body host.

"o hum a delightful celebration i do say to a curious little self such of moi"[/b] he said in a joyous tone as he held up a Red Velvet cupcake. The enigma continued to hum the enchanting tune before taking a bit into the treat. As his rotting teeth punctured into it blood gushed out of it as pieces of flesh hung off of the cake of the delectable treat. "you want a bite dear guest my recipe made this bakery famous back in the day" it asked lifting up his hand to show the exposed interior of the treat. If Stormbringer and Elric looked closely pieces of tongue dripped out of it while blood painted the table.

If Stormbringer and Elric looked closely pieces of tongue dripped out of it while blood painted the table.

[The Champion Eternal]

Elric continued his cold study of the room his eyes flitting over each horror trying to think of what they could do next. But before he had time to think of anything a hand pressed against the back of his head he began to turn but even as he did so the world turned to blackness. When the world began to illuminate he saw that the room was the same apart from one difference the chair in which a figure sat, he sung a nonsense tune that made no sense to the albino. Two chairs appeared around the table but what shocked him most was the familiar person who appeared in front of him.

Dread rose up in Elric as he looked upon Stormbringer in all his dreadful glory. He faced Elric his black sword drawn as his eyes black as the abyss looked into the albino’s blood red. A laugh escaped the black eyed man; it was a laugh no sane person could make filled with the mirth of finally being free. He looked upon the man at the other side of the table and began to walk towards him with dreadful purpose.

Elric simply watched as his alter ego slowly walked towards the man ignoring the pointless words and the gruesome imagery that he conjured up. Stormbringer paid no heed as the blood was spread across the table from the bite, paid no attention to the horrific cake that was presented to him. He simply raised the black blade of his sword and brought it swinging down onto the mad man’s neck.

[Dealer's Button]

Red Velvet's battle scarred ear twitched as he heard Stormbringer approach. He presumed what was about to happen but the actions to come did not matter. Even if the vile enigma's helpers was not putting his body into the target's his cruel blessing insured that his life could never end. Matching his hums with the incoming foot steps the mysterious individual smiled widened in a mischievous grin. There was a specific reason for letting Elric's alter ego manifest, which was fear and madness for the both of them. The deranged baker wanted his song to be a constant reminder for both of the personalities. "my fair lady"[/b] the individual sang before a deranged laugh erupted from his mouth while the blade crashed into the chair and deeply into the party conductor's neck.

Blood gushed out of his neck for a few moments before the laughter of madness continued. Slowly the chair turned Red Velvet reveling himself. Hair pink as cotton candy going down his shoulders none covering his piercing optics. One eye was white and lifeless while the other one was a deep purple. The bizarre feature was the individual's smile. A smile wider than normal matching one of a man that dwelled in the abyss of madness through centuries. His cloths was black with white strips matching that of a jester. "how sweet a gift for me why should i not give back the same pleasure that is how a party should be"[/b] he said gleefully before swiftly grasping onto a butcher knife from his coat pocket. Immediately the enigma sliced upwards painting Stormbringers blood upon the blade.

Blood continued to gush out of the neck wound yet making the vile party lover's deranged smile widen. Slowly his tongue lapped up the victims crimson water. Dreadfully Red Velvet's body turned black as the cruelest nights while white marks white as bone began to appear on the individual's skin. "you know i love to give people the best moments of their life and im the party planner for the greatest celebration guest ever"[/b] he spoke his tone energetic and joyful. "I could give you two the best moment of your lives yet why make a special celebration less memorable"[/b] the vile enigma said giving a gleeful smile as he laughed. "O soon it will be here the bestest event of all" [/b]he announced twirling in the chair letting the blade cut in deeper allowing his body dive deeper into the sadistic pleasure.

[The Champion Eternal]

Elric looked at the man who should have been dead, his red eyes focusing on the almost severed head. This person was not human; he was sure of that now any human would have died by the blow that Stormbringer had just given. The albino began to walk forward towards the man, his red orbs cold and emotionless as they looked down upon the madman. The White Wolf listened as the jester spoke again, watching the blade shine in the light as it slashed into Stormbringer. For a moment Stormbringer staggered backwards but he quickly recovered and now there was murder in the Sword’s eyes.

The black blade stained with blood slashed down into the madman’s arm, Stormbringer paid no heed to the man’s words simply bringing down the blade again and again as he tried to butcher the demon. Elric listened however even as his other half committed bloody murder
“The best moment of our lives” The albino’s words were filled with venom “I doubt that you could provide anything for us beyond what we have already seen and if I wanted that I would have stayed in Melniboné” He wondered how much punishment this man could survive before finally breaking he hoped that it wasn’t too much he wanted to get out of this place.
