-On a rooftop nearby, this girl
◊ is observing Jon-
...I see. Roger that, Admiral. First assault squad, commence bombing!.
-The planes begin diving towards him-
Lovepilled and Hopemaxxing
Jon picks up one of his torn of legs, and in a rush of adrenaline, throws it at the incoming planes. He won't last long, but he'll take someone with him. Make Pa and Doc Boy proud.
I'd rather the world betray me, but I won't betray the world.

-The torn leg hits two of the plane, bringing the squad down to four-
-The remaining bombers activate their sirens
and release their payloads-
Meanwhile, REX, after a long period of inactivity, rather abruptly poofs out of existence, disappearing mid-strike from the battlefield without explanation.
As it turns out, I gotta go to bed. Bye!
pffft hahahahahahahahahhhaahhahaha noJon's life flashes before his eyes as the bombs fall.
His childhood on the farm, Doc Boy being born, Art school -the only time in his life he wasn't a pathetic failure- and the subsequent stint of unemployment and minimum wage jobs, adopting a cat, finally being able to sell his cartoon to people, success, Lyman moving in, their nights of passion, Lyman's sudden disappearance, without even leaving a note, just the dog, and his own downward spiral into what he was now. All over now.
I'd rather the world betray me, but I won't betray the world.

That's it. Good job, guys.
-The Stukas fly back to the girl and somehow turn into a pair of crossbow bolts-
-Picks them up and reloads her crossbow-
That guy, he better have a good explanation about this.

Lizard Metabolism
(Glory is around)
(it waits like a statue in a crouch, not moving. Only steady breathing and electricity crackling through its body are any indication it's alive - or functional)
How do lizards fly?
[Aquarius comes to again]
Not again... (O___O)
Lizard Metabolism
(Glory's head slowly turns to look at Aquarius)
(otherwise, the angel remains immobile)
How do lizards fly?
Crud, I need to get back. There's no way I'll make it to Muspelheim if I'm stuck here, And we can't try to destroy Surt if I'm not there to distract him...
[Doesn't even notice Ferg's guy.]
Lizard Metabolism
You. The one Beatrice treasures.
How do lizards fly?
[Turns to face the thing's general direction]
Who are you?!? And how do you know bEa?!? (D:)
Lizard Metabolism
My name is of little importance for I am merely a soldier of God on a mission. I, however, saw her earlier in this place as she struggled against an unknown enemy.
I, alongside my brother, was assigned to guard her, but for now she is not here, neither is he. Because of that, I wait.(note how he didn't move at all when speaking - or that he has no mouth to speak of)
How do lizards fly?
[Doesn't notice]
Right. And how do you know she... treasures me?
Maid of Time
\*Lumina teleports in*
i think i mostly want to see what happens when this whole place breaks apart
(O__O)
Someone else is in here, isn't there?
Maid of Time
Aqua! Long time no see! So, how's bEaTrIcE doing? I heard something terrible happened...
\*her brow furrows in concern*
i think i mostly want to see what happens when this whole place breaks apart
Her soul has been sent to Helheim. And the being that resided in her is free, and wishes to destroy me because he believes that I...
[Falls to his knees]
Maid of Time
\*floats over to him, putting a hand on his shoulder*
Well, her fate is better than what the people in my world face after death... Now chin up. If my incredibly dense other half can destroy a God, Surt should be no problem for you!
i think i mostly want to see what happens when this whole place breaks apart
-suddenly, after a long moment of inactiviy, the soldier appears-
Lizard Metabolism
Bleh, my consistency sucks. Will be back later.
How do lizards fly?
Right—
Did someone else appear? (O__O)
Maid of Time
Yep, it's that soldier guy. Hey, soldier guy! Hi! *waves*
i think i mostly want to see what happens when this whole place breaks apart
Anyways Here's Darude Sandstorm
Saber is behind bAe.
"There you are, Magus. I've been looking for you."
GIVE ME YOUR FACE
But it's not the end. Though missing the lower half of his body, some fire kindles in the hapless Jon Arbuckle. Years of angst, loneliness, depression, and abuse by his housecat rise up in him. He won't die now. He can't. Arbuckle is made of sterner stuff. He lifts himself onto his hands, blood loss clouding his brain.
Today he will fight.
I'd rather the world betray me, but I won't betray the world.
