'I hope there's nothing freaky looking down this way.' Kumiko kept a steady pace as she walked. She kept alert, checking the ceiling and behind them every so often. At least this time around she was not so scared. Just ready.
"I'm just going to go out on a limb here, but I don't think a better flashlight would matter a whole hell of a lot..." He slowly turned around so he was partially walking backwards, still at Kojiro's side, looking back past Rin in the direction they'd came down, then went 'round to actually looking where he was going again.
Each of your teams proceeds forward into the darkness ahead. The flashlights--and thank God you have more than one per grouping this time--make it at least marginally more comfortable than your previous venture.
Fridmund/Mizushima/Yamada: The left branch is not inviting, but neither was the right; you are cautious as you advance, for the quiet thrum you feel coming up from the concrete through the soles of your shoes is just as insistent as before.
"Get ready... Something is in there."
A quick scuttling fills the tunnel from the ground up: severed hands. They cover the walls as they run across fingers and thumbs and descend upon you.
MAGIC HAND x14
Attack!
Ishikawa/Junsui/Yoshida: You feel oppressed by the weight of your apprehension; the last time you journeyed these paths, you did not make it very far in before exhausting yourselves. You must hope you can manage your resources better tonight.
As expected, the darkness ahead writhes and takes shape. Two corpses--schoolgirls, you see by their dress--shamble forward. They've been skewered together through the neck, the hips, and the ankles and struggle with each other to move. Once they sense you, though, their movements become more determined and uniform. More are coming.
TRANCE TWINS x3
Attack!

Yamada let out a rather undignified shout when he saw and Felt them running across everything and everyone. His first instinct to grab his spear and swipe the ground in front of them, giving a bit of space and knocking some of the freakish things back. He stabbed downward at the ground trying to spear one of them straight down the middle to stop it's bizarre running.
Kumiko was just fine until the army of hands appeared. 'Fine' then shot up to the sort of feeling you get after watching a horror film in an old house that steadily because creepier to you as you sit alone.
'There are way too many to just charge in there.'
"Agi!" A brief flicker of Baldr appeared in front of her to set a few hands on fire.

Kojiro charged at the nearest one and slashed at it with his rapier. "Fucking train! Fucking shadows!" He jumped back and landed on his feet. He was light on them from fencing and kendo,he kept this ones attention as he Quetzalcoatl struck it with zio.
"Eh-heh..." Isoroku was smiling a little more now, nodding in affirmation, despite how weird these things looked. How the hell does something end up like that anyway?
He lifted and cocked his pistol, taking aim at the demon nearest to them though he did not fire.

He didn't have to be light on his feet or, really, to move all that much...he just had to wait for the right moment so that he hit something of import and not, say, Rin's ear or something. He probably should've fired as quickly as he could've before the two of them had gone in....important safety tip, that.
He decided to run forward as Kojiro had, though moving to the side a bit to try and avoid him, still looking for a moment to fire as he called Leviathon, striking with double fangs.

Fridmund/Mizushima/Yamada: The swarm of hands grabs and pulls at your clothing and hair, trying to crawl onto you, pushing fingers into whatever yields. Eber slashes his weapon wildly but calls his Persona to blast a good amount back with a gust of wind. "Garu! GARU!" He jumps back to regroup with the two of you, holding his knife at arm's length.

Ishikawa/Junsui/Yoshida: The twins shudder and both their heads drop back in a ghastly moan. The entire party is enveloped in a freezing wind before being knocked back by a wall of ice. Your attacks rend its flesh and yet they are each still moving, flailing wildly between spells.

He does his best to whack them out of the way from them, but has a hard time of it with his long range weapon and them crawling all over his body. He rips at the ones on him and throws them to the ground in front of them, trying to stomp on or stab them when they land in front of him. "They're Everywhere!"
"Dammit, why don't these things just burn?" she growls, stomping on anything that dares to get close to her feet. 'Take as many of them down from a far as you can.'
Baldr was made to strike groups of them back while Kumiko assualted the ones that wiggled passed him.

Isoroku gritted his teeth, practically gnashing at the demon as it moaned and unleashed the freezing wind. His eyes drifted a bit further down the tunnel at the others coming along behind the first demon. He turned the pistol in their direction, firing two shots at one of them before calling Leviathon back to the first, casting Mudo.
Eber sliced one in half and stabbed viciously into another, twisting the blade just to reap some form of satisfaction from it just before its body melted. He looked around as Baldr disappeared from sight, the wave of disembodied hands finally finished.
"What a nightmare..."
He scanned ahead with the flashlight; silence... for now. "Shall we continue?"

Ishikawa/Junsui/Yoshida: One of the skewered twin sets succumbs to a Zio spell while the last evaporates into nothingness under the curse of Mudo. Looks like you'll have a chance to catch your breath.
