Enter the Arena... As Your Avatar (v4)!

The Darkness beams destroy each other as expected... But the orbs are still hounding after the Demon Hunters relentlessly.

Madara proceeds to throw several sharp kunai and shuriken at Hathor.

Micool, Hathor tried to attack Mami with a Burst Orb. Guess this is what Knowless was talking about huh?

Yep. I edited my post but got bottompaged. Moving it here.

Mami sighs and pulls her bowtie free of her dress, spinning the ribbon around showfully before using it to latch onto a nearby streetlight and swing away from the darkness orb.

"You cannot hope to reach our Saviour. And as long as She watches over us, we will always return to fight another day. You cannot win. The light will always be stronger, for it only takes a single candle's flame to hold back the darkness."

"If someone says it's wrong to hope, She would tell them they were wrong a thousand times. But since She isn't here, and I am, I guess I shall have to tell you instead. But for you, I don't think I'll use words. Well, perhaps two."

Holy crap, did that ribbon just turn into a BFG?

I would appreciate the light of your Goddess being aimed a bit more carefully, thank you very much.(fires a Max Shot upon his landing, taking note of Mami's rapid escalation of weapon size)

Albus meant to say that we're grateful for your aid.(decides to beat Hathor at her own game and flies right at her, the light changing into two hammers)

(that she mixes together into one, much bigger one, swinging the sheer mass at the killer machine)

(also hoping that orbs still follow her so she can make them hit Hathor hrself)

Hathor's armor plating gets cracked and damaged by Albus' shots and the max shot is in strad deflected away by her Gravity barrier, in response to the fire, Hathor sprays him with lasers before rocketing towards Mami and trying to slice her in half with one of her Sword-hands.

Just say Shanoa is now trying to intercept Hathor's charge instead.

Questor, stop ignoring my attacks. This isn't fair.

Smart one, Hathor. Fly straight at the girl pointing the BFG at you.

"Tiro Finale!"

-lowers her aim to hit Hathor below the other combatant flying at her-

-afterwards, Mami gives a little bow to the one who got hit by the stray shot earlier-

"My apologies."

(reasonably decides to get out of the way for this one to not get BFG'd)

(still has the giant hammer in waiting though)

(Curses! Dashes behind cover, firing one more OS:L before taking a moment of break behind a safe barrier)

Actually, wouldn't Mami recognize Albus from Kyouko's brief encounter with the other version of him?

edited 1st Nov '14 4:03:05 AM by FergardStratoavis

Nope. As I said, I refuse to acknowledge you and your presence.

Hathor puts all of her power into a Darkness-Enhanced Gravity Barrier to defend against the Tiro Finale, If it was just her Gravity Barrier defending; Hathor would have been sent rocketing back and take severe damage, but thanks to Nega's darkness; the barrier holds against the blast... If barely, Afterwards, Hathor disengages the now-useless barrier before launching a bluish-white Sword Beam at Mami and then following up with another charge.

You're breaking the rules.

Madara creates a demon wind shuriken with Yin Release, and throws it at Hathor.

(flies in to bat the sword beam away before charging right at weakened Hathor for another massive swing and an epic BFS/BFH clash)

(Albus, meanwhile, after mentally cursing at his torn sleeve, pops from behind cover and begins raining the killer machine with bullets, if only to distract it)

We kinda already shattered them into a million pieces when we broke reality... twice.

Having said that, I think it'd be nice to have you on side, but meh, I can't change his mind. I like you both, I don't want to be a part of this blood feud.

Mami runs quickly to the side, going for cover and trying to put something between herself and Hathor, just in case the other warrior can't quite stop the mad machine.

She also turns the BFG back into a ribbon, which she keeps "playing with", and... is it getting longer?

edited 1st Nov '14 4:09:30 AM by MicoolTNT

That's OK, Micool. I don't want to pull anybody into this.

I'd rather not jump into it either.

Shanoa's interception attempt succeeds, neutralizing the Sword Beam and forcing Hathor to engage her in melee, where the mad machine blocks her swing with her Sword-Hand before launching a fist straight towards her gut.

Albus' bullets end up hitting Hathor's back, several only succeed in chipping away the already damaged plating; but a few ones end up punching into the Machine, causing small sparks and drops liquid Metatron to come out of the Bullet-holes

Madara creates and throws another Demon Wind Shuriken.

OK, Questor. What's the deal with this? Why won't you fight me?

(takes a hit, wincing and forcing to pull away)

(only to respond with another Big Freaking Weapon, this time - an axe - swung back at Hathor)

(takes notice of Metatron. This must be what powers it... guess it really can't deal with people facing it from many directions. Continues shooting where the bullets punched a Metatron drop, hoping to make it drop even more and, perhaps, weaken it that way)

Because you're not fun to fight against. Fighting you frustrates and infuriates me.

Hathor quickly zooms back to avoid the Axe slash before firing a golf-ball sized Burst Orb at Shanoa before whirling around and strafing Albus' location with a writhing beam of darkness from her head.

Would you please explain how, as opposed to remaining vague?

Mami's ribbon grows and splits, splits into four, and Mami spins and twirls like a glorious combination of a puppeteer and a ballerina, somehow making all four ribbons spiral in the air before her... and transform into four Tiro-Finale-size cannons, all trained on Hathor.

And then she stops dancing and shoulders a fifth rifle, enhancing it with magic to become larger, but not quite the same size as the four cannons. Four ribbons tie themselves between the triggers of each of the massive guns and each of the fingers of her right hand, except the index finger, which she rests on the trigger of the cannon she holds.

"Luminarch Crescendo!"

She pulls all five triggers at once, using the ribbons.

A star made up of four powerful, Tiro-Finale-level blasts flies at Hathor, a smaller blast in the middle binding them all together into one conflagration.

If you Zero Shift out of this, I shall ragequit for tonight in retaliation. Well, probably not, but still... please don't. I'm not saying take it, just... don't Zero Shift. Please.

(sways on her own to avoid the Burst Orb, switching the axe for another set of light spheres homing at Hathor)

(then just barely manages to move out of the way of uber Finale of Mami)

(Albus, meanwhile, quickly changes his location, laying down supressive fire as he dashes to not get hit)

edited 1st Nov '14 4:25:44 AM by FergardStratoavis

Hathor turns to face the Ultra-powerful attack and promptly Zero Shifted... Only to reappear right on the very edge of the mega-blast and have nearly half her body eradicated by the blast.

GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Hathor should have just waited for her repairs to get finished...

edited 1st Nov '14 4:30:46 AM by questor

So? Please, explain to me what I've been doing wrong. I want to hear your thoughts on this.

Way to go!(Was that enough...?)

(lands back on the ground near Albus, the wings disappearing from her back) ...
