"Plusle, light." Mikoto pointed at the door while petting Zigzagoon behind the ears. "Anyone recognize these characters?" She asked.
1 stone into leadership to Plusle's flash.

Plusle obediently rekindled light in the area.
"Yes, actually", Yomiko said as she observed them with curiosity. "They seem to be a more ancient version of an aphabet used by more educated outlaws and pirates to communicate without the knowledge of the authorities, hundreds of years ago. This is fairly fascinating, actually."
"What do they say?" Mai asked.
Sakura, who apparently could read them as well, spoke before Yomiko had time to decipher them: "...It's basically begging us to go back and leave this place alone. It says that beyond these doors lie ruin and loss, and that what's inside wasn't meant for mortals to behold. The door outside wasn't meant to keep people out. It was meant to keep something in", she explained.
The double doors seemed fairly easy to open. As in, they were still locked and heavy, but nowhere near as resilient, nor seemingly protected as the one Mikoto had teleported away before.

"Well that sounds like a problem." Mikoto noted before turning to the others. "What should we do? Just leave it alone?"

"Well... I mean... we already took out the main, protected door, and I doubt the protections on it will just reset if we replace it", Yomiko remarked. "That kind of powerful defenses take a lot of magical power, time and effort to set up."
"Also, I'm not a mortal, and you've survived your own death", Sakura said warmly. "If anyone can handle this, it's us."

Mikoto nodded. "Okay then. Here we go." She said enlarging her arm into a huge mechanical abomination and punching the door hard!

"Wah!" Yomiko let out, as she and Mai recoiled seconds before Mikoto's monstrous arm shattered the doors, and the walls holding the doors, to a million pieces that went flying everywhere... Sakura nonchalantly raising an energy shield to protect herself, them, and the Pokémon.
"I think you did it", she joked, as the path was opened before them, leading to a huge, dimly lit circular chamber, with a darkened shape at its center. As soon as the doors were shattered, something in the room activated, as bluish-white energy ran through what appeared to be cables, heading all around the room and providing them with some light... revealing the form at the center to be an immobilized humanoid, chained and bound to some sort of pillar, with dozens and dozens of talismans seemingly binding it along with a large, black sword. On the talismans were glowing slightly some runes of seemingly the same type as the ones on the doors... and on the being's left hand, another one could be seen, this one white in color as opposed to the other ones' blue, and of a different nature altogether.
"...Whoa", Mai let out, blinking at the sight. "...Kinda ominous."

"So... should we let it out... Or just incinerate it here and now?" She asked.
If they agree to destroy it.

"Sure feels evil to me", Sakura noted. "Those talismans are meant to seal evil. They'd have no power over it if it wasn't", she reasoned.
"Blast away then", Yomiko said, launching multiple spears of super-hardened paper to impale the monster, as Mikoto's fire engulfed it in a powerful burst of black flames...
...which unfortunately also burned off a large number of the talismans.
"...Hrrrhmmgh..." the red and black humanoid being growled as it stood up, effortlessly breaking the chains binding it as it stood up in his - surprisingly far larger, now that he was up - muscular stature, as its demonic presence made all of them feel quite uneasy. "...Your pathetic flames mean nothing to me, you filthy maggots", it said, reaching for the massive sword and pulling it effortlessly out of the floor.
"Okay, so note to self... fire against this guy, not advisable after all", Mai noted nervously.

"I'm on it!" Mikoto said moving behind the beast, and restraining it's sword on. "Let's see how powerful you are when you have no energy left." She declared sucking him dry.

Surprisingly enough, the monster proved strong enough to swing her, kunai and all with brute strength across the room and into a wall! ...Still, she did manage to drain some of his energy. (OOC: You took 1w of damage. However, you also absorbed 6 Energy in addition to recovering that which you spend on the drain.)
"ASTAROTH FEARS NO MORTALS!" he roared, swinging his large blade like it weighed nothing. Mai dodged his attacks fairly easily, while Yomiko protected herself with shields of reinforced paper, though she backed off from the impacts.
"Oooh, big time demon", Sakura said, grabbing the sword by its blade with her bare hand, and head-butting the giant with a small leap, causing him to recoil with a step back. "...Soon enough, you'll fear some mortals."

"Damn you." Mikoto hissed before using her Kamui to send the door she teleported away back into the monster. "Hit his ankles. Try to throw him off balance." She ordered her Pokémon.

Sakura backed off as Mikoto successfully slammed the huge door from earlier right in the monster's face! It bounced off its thick skull, but the impact did force him back just before he could swing his huge blade at the kunoichi's allies.
This gave a chance to Plusle and Minun to hit him with Spark attacks, while Mai unleashed a series of strikes using a rapier and a dagger, with limited results.

"G-GRWWWAAAAAAHHHHHRRRGH!!" the monster cried out in pain, falling to his knees as he was struck by the kunai.
Sakura used the opportunity, reaching back and making her fist glow with unknown energy... before she punched the monster alongside Stufful! The impact shook the room, forcing Astaroth back a good five meters, this time causing clear damage and knocking the wind out of him! He still managed to swing his sword in rage. Yomiko was thrown across the room despite blocking the attack with a huge paper shield. Sakura managed to parry the attack with her forearm, though the blade did manage to cut in deep, splashing her blood from the impact.
"Khh... alright, that one hurt", the purplette let out, grimacing. "...So did the one he took. Let's finish him off!"
