I roll to avoid the PK Beam (even if it wasn't going my way), and then stick back a little, allowing power to amass within me.

"Ah, come on, that's a bit ridiculous..."

That's IC complaining, not OOC. I tend to be a bit of a whiner.

The energy balls retarget and chase him.

Also, pro tip, attacks aimed at "whoever" tend to not hit anyone. Bystander Syndrome and all that... trust me, I've tried in my own "boss" fights. Best to either use attacks that hit "everyone", or target specific players.

(swings his body to avoid the PK Beam)

(then charges to repeat his attempted action from before, in the exact same way)

Johnny lays flat on the ground to avoid the deadly beam.

"Yeesh!"

He then snaps his fingers, summoning Nasu once again, who charges at Ninten, not to lash out at him, but to try and restrain him.

A relatively small robot, about the size of a child, approaches the battlefield. Oddly, it seems to be modeled after an eskimo.

And here you have the third of the Robot Masters.

I know. PK Beam can only hit one target anyway unless it's the Omega level, which isn't instant death. So if any one of you dodges, it'll miss by default.

Nasu manages to grab Ninten, allowing the energy balls to hit him. It also makes it impossible for him to avoid Artorias' attack, getting grabbed and slammed into the ground. However, he wasn't down yet.

Ninten slowly gets up, a bit wounded.

He resorts to his final plan. He clears his throat.

"Take a Melody~ Simple as can be~ Give it some words, and... Sweet Harmony!~"

The song sounded off, wrong, not positive at all. But it shouldn't affect any of them either, not even Sombra, should he be watching. Why would he start singing?

Thanks to Ice Man, Sombra can find out that the melodies, for some reason, don't affect him right now.

Johnny starts whistling to the tune.

"Okay, lovely, lovely..."

Wondering what he could do next, he calls to Nasu to bring Ninten closer to him.

Isn't that 8 Melodies? I tense up on hearing it, and get a bit more on edge when I notice how off it sounds. "Ninten, what are you doing? That song's not going to affect us!"

He stops singing. He grins. His grin looks similar to Porky's usual taunting grin.

"It's not meant for you."

Suddenly, when Ninten stops singing, a strong psychic shockwave emits through the area, targeting everyone and possibly damaging them.

Nasu should feel the shockwave and drop Ninten.

Oh god... there's only one other person who'd respond to the melodies...

Curea puts up a green shield around the three of us, but thanks to her weakened defence, her shield flares and she goes staggering backwards; I flinch, and clearly would be staggered too if I wasn't already leaning against the wall.

Johnny, his mind flayed by the psychic shockwave, drops to the ground, and Nasu is promptly unsummoned. Soon, she reappears beside him, nuzzling him to see if he's okay.

"Don't worry—ghh—I'm, eh, fine."

He gets up with Nasu's help, feeling woozy from Ninten's attack.

"What...what was that?!"

Johnny unsheathes his katana, ready to attack should he ever sing again.

And, oh, flip, I know exactly what's going to happen. 0^0

"What?"

My head jerks back in surprise at his response, then my body follows suit when the shockwave hits. It doesn't damage me too much as it pushes me back a few steps, but it isn't a light slap on the face, either.

If it's not for us, then...who? Feeling concerned, I fly upwards to start scanning the facility for whoever he might've been searching for.

Ninten grins as he's freed from Nasu's grasp.

"You all keep talking about some Mare!Giygas! Well, here's something for you! THE REAL GIYGAS!"

An alien-like creature in a dome appears, staring at them all with evil black eyes. Ninten points at the others, his face expressionless like a doll.

"Kill them."

Giygas' eyes light up red as he releases another shockwave.

The tyrant does take notice. Could it really be..?

Porky must not come to know about this. The calculating tyrant wonders how he could accomplish that. If he simply stops focusing fire on Ninten, Porky might get suspicious. But if he does attack him, especially along with all those others, the child will die...

But what if he pretends to have just gone insane from the pain and rage, and out to destroy the whole Arena as a last defiant move of a dying king? If Ice Man attacks everybody, he will surely lack the focused power to destroy Ninten, and mioght even covertly assist him by slightly toning up the power of attacks on the others...

"Oh, you motherfu—OOF!"

Johnny is knocked back by the shockwave once again, this time still holding onto Nasu, and she races towards Giegue to try and bite or claw him.

Isn't that technically Giegue?

However, he then realizes something. I know the melodies unleash his attack, but...what if we sing it enough times?

(gets staggered by another shockwave) Curses...! How could a melody pure enough to destroy Abyss within oneself could be perverted and violated so?!

(stares Gigyas down before firmly grasping the sword with both of his hands) Come forth then, monster.

"Ah, shit... what the hell?"

The green gem on my ring lights up, mirrored by the several matching green gems on Curea's outfit, and she raises her hands as if to push something, holding the barrier strong; the wave hits, and she and I both flinch again, but she only takes a single step back this time.

"...Oh."

And then the shockwave sends my flying backwards, slamming into a building before catching myself in mid-air, which hurts more than it usually would due to the Def-down debuff.

"Uugh..." I stretch out my back as fast as I dare. "Let's not experience that again..." With that done, I fly back over to the others and hurl lightning spears at Giygas.

Nasu just bounces off of the dome, as does the lightning, the dome being as strong as Porky's dome. Thus it would take a lot of power to destroy.

   "..."   

Suddenly, he releases another of those waves, only way weaker. But that's not the only thing he does.

He sends a message to everyone who's here, except Ninten. Giygas, for some reason, could block his mind from Ninten's telepathy.

   Do it... sing them... defeat me... Porky isn't going to send help. Porky isn't even watching, his elite will not come... If I am defeated, Ninten can be saved. Sing the Melodies... you cannot win otherwise...   

Ninten, unaware of Giygas' message, is grinning again. Porky had turned him into a monster.

Giegue...

Johnny is knocked back a little by the wave, though it's nothing like last time. Stacking his odds, he starts whistling the 8 Melodies, Nasu returning to help defend him.

I thought only those like Ninten could properly utilize the melodies? Though, I admit I know diddly-squat about Earthbound/Mother, so.

Yes, only Ninten can use the melodies' full power... but Ninten himself does not know that now. Which means Giygas can pretend to be beaten.
