Grand Hall

The meeting place of all of Arachnophobia. It is the body of the spider castle, thus the biggest part. It leads to all 8 of the legs of the tower and to the top of the tower, Arachne's room.

In the Grand Hall, Eruka would shyly ask one of the members of Arachnophobia a question, very nervous about if they would notice she was a witch or not.

"U-um.. Excuse me... Where do the new recruits meet?"



The man would turn around, looking very busy "Hm. Well, the new recruit meeting was earlier, but there is another one tomorrow. In fact, there's going to be a huge speech given by Lady Arachne, herself! She will explain everything tomorrow."



Eruka nodded "Th-th-thank you, sir..."

As he walked away, she turned to Free "Geko... You here that? This is perfect! Medusa-sama can see and hear first hand what Arachne is up to! And you get to sleep tonight! This is going well, eh Free?"

"But it wont be on a spider's bed." (-free was really happy and upset at the same time. Happy he gets to go to sleep but sad that it wont be on the spider sheet bed. But none the less he can get some sleep so he was happy, plus he didn't want to make eruka sad or nothing. she always tried to look at things on the bright side despite being a witch-)

"So uhhh, where to now>))

Eruka thought deeply on the situation.

"Geko... Perhaps I should have asked him that as well before he left, right...?"

Eruka sighed, miserably looking upward. Seems as though there was a label above a room that said 'Private Sleeping Quarters.' Thus must have meant private rooms for Arachnophobia members.

"Oh! There, Free! We can go in there! If we're lucky, we'll get a room together so we won't be separated during our stay here! Geko geko!"

She ran toward the room and opened the door, waiting for Free.

(-free would walk behind Eruka as the two of them entered the room.-)

-- Time Skip--

Back out in the Grand Hall, there were a laaaaarge number of very similar looking people out and about here... They tended to all be about the same height, making Free very noticeable to Eruka, and Eruka was the only one whose uniform was way too big for her, making Free able to notice her, hopefully. She would look in the direction the rest of them were looking, waiting for something to happen.

(-free would look around at everyone as it seemed that he was the giant out of all these member's here, he sniffed the air smelling her scent and spotted her from the large crowd. All there was left to do now is to wait for her.-)

After a couple of minutes of waiting, something began to happen. A large, intricate web started to be designed before the crowd of people... It was so large, so intricate and so wide, that everyone could see it clearly. This was the spider witch at work...

Once the very delicate but beautiful web was completed, Arachne's face appeared on it as if it were a screen. She could project visuals onto webbing just as Shinigami could via mirrors. It was a very top-notch ability. Naturally, seeing her face aroused the crowd, causing loud and wild cheers of pure and utter worship... They were totally devout.

"... Hello there, my beautiful little children... This is the Mother of Insanity, Arachne-sama... As all of you know, Arachnophobia is here to fight against Shibusen's power and any other power that is to stand in our way of collecting the Demon Tools. We will scout the world for each and every last one of these tools... And Insanity can rule over this land with me as its ruler and the Kishin along with me... Arachnophobia will crush all who stand in our way! So now, my little children... Our mission is to spread the wavelength of insanity, recruit more people into Arachnophobia, and most of all... Collect the Demon Tools and destroy Shibusen and anyone else that comes in our way. Now... With that thought in your heads... Go. Spread my vision... And go about your mission..."

Once she was done, her web-embedded irises started to gleam, giving a sort of ominous effect as the webbing started to deconstruct itself. With another loud, cheerful and very loyal cry of

"All Hail Lady Arachne!!!",

The troops were off, going about their business and being sent out to do missions.

Eruka smiled at Arachne's speech... Granted, Eruka didn't like Medusa all that much, but she did have a certain type of respect for her... much more than Arachne, that is. Though, she was liking the idea of spreading the world into insanity... since this village was already filled to the brim with the Kishin's Insanity wavelength.

"Geko... Did you hear all of that, Free? We know the mission, now!"

"Yea I did. So should we we report now?" (-free would ask, although the spreading of insanity sounded wonderful at the moment he wanted to pound something with his fist. He needed action.-)

Eruka sighed, actually wanting to cause little destruction, herself...

"... Medusa-sama said to sleuth around... I guess we should investigate the entire building before we actually start destroying things... She says she's been laying markers down as we walked so that we would know where everything was once we actually raided Arachne's castle... So that means we still have to walk... gekooo... or at least... I do... ;;"

Eruka sighed again, looking up to Free.

"... You can go fight then, Free, but try to do it outside... When I'm done, I'll tell you, okay?"

(-Free began to crack his knuckles it was about time he got to do some soul collecting. it's been century's since he tasted a soul, his mouth started drooling from the very thought of it. -)

"I'll leave it to you you then Eruka, just shout when you need me. " (-free would then search outside looking for someone to fight.-)

Eruka nodded, wanting to collect some souls, too... Awww... She needed the power boost... Oh well. Back to what she does best...

She walked off in the opposite direction as Free, heading off to the towers of Baba Yaga's Castle.

(-Free would be walking down the hall ways towards the exit of the castle as he sensed many souls in the immediate area. How fun.-)

10 generic soldiers of Arachnophobia were just coming back from their mission, spotting Free and noticing that they had never seen him before. As such, they thought that they could mess around with him.

Soldier: Woah, you're a big guy, huh...? I bet you think you're tough, too, huh...? Heh heh...

the 10 soldiers surrounded him quite quickly and menacing..ly.

"Heh" (-Free would lift his leg up to about where it reached his head, the ball and chain immediately began to drop. In one swift motion he did a whirlwind kick in a split of a second hopefully taking out all the guards in one hit due to the mass of the ball in chain thus killing them instantly.-)

Though they didn't seem like it, these generic guards were actually decent in battle, and as such the ball wouldn't kill them, but the force of it being swung would push them back, all onto their asses.

Generic Soldier: Gah... He seems real powerful... But that doesn't matter, because there are still more of us than there are you! We'll teach you to respect your ranks!

2 Soldiers got up fast, wielding swords. They came in for strikes to Free at his legs and at his neck.

(-Free would let the sword slashes strike him for he felt no pain. in fact he grabbed both the solders by the head and cracked there skulls together like he did the first two guards from when they entered here. It seemed they were more durable then the first two were which meant it would last longer. The swords would fall all bent up and misshapen as there was no scars on his body from the strikes.-)

"I get to kill, I'll devour every last one of your souls."

(Stuff can cut Free, he just regenerates when it does. XD)

As the souls of the two fallen soldiers appeared. the others were terrified by this man, but still, another insisted on attacking. He got up and used his weapon, which was a spear, and tried to stab at Free from a distance repeatedly.

Another soldiers, still on the ground, whipped out a standard issue pistol, firing at Free randomly in some hope that he would be wounded.

(Ok wasn't sure)

(-After quickly absorbing the two souls he began to go in static, oh how long it's been since he had the taste of souls, it was wonderful, he needed more. He Sides step the jabs from the spear before grabbing the handle of it and yanking him forward and uses him as a meat shield to protect against the bullets that came his way. If this would have killed him he would take the spear and throw it towards the one who was shooting at him at speeds of mach 4. If not he was just rip his body in half and throw the limbs towards the others.-)

At the death of the next two, the other 6 were deathly afraid. The souls of the dead flew over to Free waiting for him to consume them.

Soldier: This guy.. What is he? A monster! A demon!

He was promptly impaled by a limb, letting his soul fly out of his body, too.

This left only 5... 3 of said 5 had close combat weapons... One had a mace, another had a lance, and the last had an axe. With simultaneous attack from different directions, they should definitely have him... right?

(-The souls of the three would be absorb into free's body as he looked at the three soldiers who aimed to outnumber him at various angles. This just made it easier for him, he would would jump, causing the three attacks to miss as he cocked backed and lunged towards the three in an attempts to take them out all in one swoop.*

"I'm neither, demon nor monster."

Somehow, 2 of the 3 managed to evade this attack, trying to strike him again... The one's soul would float over to Free...

Soldier: Then... What are you?

The final two had ranged weapons... One had a crossbow and the other had another gun.

(-His finger nails began to grow to that of claws as he slashed towards the other two guards in a X like fashion absorbing the other soul in the process. he turned around and faced the other two members as he walked towards them.-)

"I'm a werewolf."

(-He would aim to rip through the final two guards before they had a chance to even fire there weapons, hopefully his speed should be fast enough for them to not track. If the other guards from before were alive he had something special planed for them.-)

All of the soldiers were dead now, their weapons falling to the floor helplessly... All except one. He was wounded from the X strike, but not dead... He figured he should run away while he could. He looked at his arm.. It seemed to have been completely sliced off...

"... Tis... Only a flesh wound!!"

he would say, fleeing in the direction of the exit.
