"It probably worked on everyone if it fooled me too."
The Batter glares at the girl.
"You're not real. So begone."
Probably surprisingly, the girl actually disappears, and the Batter turns around and picks up Omega.
Weeping Whitewood
The being hidden in the woods gasps, getting up and looking around for a moment.
"Someone... someone broke through my ghost illusion. Darnit, I thought for sure that it'd keep the emotional beings of this world at bay."
They cross their arms.
"... Whatever. I don't need it anymore. And if I do, I'll just make a new one."
They sit back down and close their eyes.
"Back to my training..."
"Way too many reasons to count. My world wasn't exactly a great one.", Zacharie says. "But it was all we had."
He then looks at Fu, apparently perplexed.
"Heal him... in the moment between... I've never thought of that possibility before. I have no idea of if that'll work or not."
He then chuckles.
"Ahaha, we can try! Maybe it'll work. But we'd need someone powerful enough to actually kill him. If you're strong enough, then perhaps the four of us can do it."
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
King of the Monsters
"Well then." Spinni, Storo, and the remains of Doc's craft vanish.
Daroach starts making his way out.
"Hell yeah I'm strong." Fu does a flex out of nowhere.
Then he points to the Purple Worm nearby. "We could also just lure it into that thing and let it do our work for us."

The Purple Worm starts charging another blast.
Magnus Arrives Next Round

"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
I... have devised a way to contact allies on our own... perhaps we could bring someone along ? It is better to be well prepared and add more chances of victory.
Lucina look at him.
Then we might need an healer... but au-Emmeryn might not be ready for battles of such caliber !

Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.
The Batter turns to Daroach.
"Hold on just a second." , he says as he approaches him, looking like he's not yet done fighting Daroach.
However, once he's close, he'll motion towards Epsilon.
"Tell me how I can get him back to normal. I need Epsilon for my mission."
Zacharie looks at the worm.
"It won't work if the Burnt gets eaten."
Then back at the group.
"Unless they can be here immediately, we might not have time, because-"
He looks to his left.
"He caught up to us while we were talking."
If they look, they'll see the Burnt getting closer.

Daroach brandishes his cane when the Batter approaches, but when it's just to ask a question, he lowers his hand. "... Fine."
He swaps out his ice cane for the Triple Star and swings it, launching a flaming star at Epsilon. The star stops in midair just short of the frozen Add-On, and the residual heat from the flames starts to thaw it out.
"Good point also THINKFAST!" Fu hurls a Serious Bomb at the Burnt.

"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Iron Man forms a massive shield and gestures over at everyone. He carefully puts the skin fragments in his armor, within small containers.
It's Stark tech, so it'll hold. If it doesn't, well...
He looks at the charging attack.
Well, you know, you died taking cover so you were at least smart about it.
—
B-but I'm here.
No-noire ?!
The archer stands behind the group, holding unto a fearsome looking bow.
Wait, she can't fight !
The beast will not wait ! Noire, you must get into position !
Lucina grabs Falchion and leap forward, taking a stand. Laurent grabs a tome and Noire grabs a regular arrow, though firstly, Laurene enchants her quiver while the bomb is going off.
Your arrows should now be able to pierce it flesh.
I-I don't know what's happening but thanks.

"..."
She rolls her eyes slightly and forms force field barrier around them.
/＼｡｡/＼
The Batter goes over to Epsilon as it's thawing out, picking up the wounded Alpha as well in the process, then turns to Daroach.
"Who sent you to observe me?" , he asks.
The Burnt runs right into the attack, hurled backwards as a result, but yet again gets back up, breathing heavily.
"Hhhhhhh!"
He stumbles forward again, and extends his arms to try to claw at Fu and Lucina while the Burnt himself remains at a distance.
Zacharie retracts his wings into his back.

"I'm paid not to tell people that, thank you very much. I'll tell you this. It's a man who really, really wants to take revenge on people who abandoned his world."
The glow brightens as it prepares to incinerate them all...
"HEY!"
The Purple Worm stops and looks down to see... Magnus.
"I BROUGHT YOUR KID!"
As if on cue, a much more reasonably-sized, almost Ugly Cute purple worm bursts out of the ground and looks up at the much bigger one.
There's a tense silence...
Fu ducks to the ground.

"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Lucina dodges but barely, earning her a gash on the cheek as she slice at the arm !
Laurent frowns when Lucina get hurt but keep his calm, channeling a spell. Noire winces but prepares an arrow, closing her one eye and sticking her tongue out.
—
Stark's armored head peeks out of his massive shield.
Oh boy, it was a mama bear scenario ?

She just looks at the smaller worm.
"...?"
Whether or not a missing child was the cause of the attack, she still feels it would be best to neutralize the worms anyways.
/＼｡｡/＼
"I see..."
He stares at Daroach.
"... Through hostile means?" , he suddenly asks.
The Burnt brings his arms back, then lunges at Fu. If he misses or is blocked, he'll be right open to be targeted by Laurent and Noire.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.

"Ehhhhh, potentially." Daroach is inching further away.
Fu raises an energy barrier to stop the Burnt. "Let 'em have it."
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Noire blast away with a magical arrow and Lucina, sensing that the beast's fury will be aimed at her companions, prepare to run towards them.
Laurent keeps charging, keeping his focus sharp.
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.
"... Do you share his hostile intentions?"
The Burns gets stopped in his tracks, then hit by Noire's arrow, which successfully pierces him. He roars and staggers backwards, finally showing damage.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
King of the Monsters
"No." Daroach teleports out of there before the Batter can question him further.
Fu lays out an Energy Minefield, surrounding the Burnt in Ki-based contact explosives.
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Laurent tosses his Thoron attack attempting to keep the pressure on while Noire readies one more arrow.
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.
"..."
He turns back to the now defrost Epsilon and proceeds to heal his Add-Ons.
"I should keep an eye on these people." , he mutters. Once the Add-Ons are healed, he grabs his cap, puts it back on his head, and leaves.
The Burnt gets hit by Thoron, taking a step back and setting off the explosives. As such, he gets tossed around until every single explosion is gone.
He lies on the ground, trying to get back up.
"He's almost down! Keep going until the smoke around his body starts to fade!", Zacharie says.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
King of the Monsters
Fu readies his capsule. "I've gotta be ready, so I'll leave it to you guys to seal the deal."
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Lucina activates Ether, her sword shining in a yellow light as she activates the effect !
"HOPE WILL NEVER DIES !" she yells, going for a strong slash of her sword and then going for another slash with her attack, leaving a large yellow slash and stylized sparkles in her wake, leaping past the monster during her slash. She moves so fast, Noire fires her arrow before she fully activates Ether and yet the projectile only reaches the Burnt after Lucina is done with her attack.
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.
The Burnt gets slashed by Lucina's Aether attacks, stumbling as he then gets shot by Noire one more time.
"Hhhhh! HHHHHHHH... hhhh... h..."
He suddenly slumps, the smoke starting to disappear, making way to reveal the Elsen's now very badly wounded body.
"Hhhhhh... hh..."
Zacharie holds out his hand in a stop sign, silently telling Fu not to use the capsule yet.

Fu gets closer, but keeps the capsule sealed. He looks at Zacharie.
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Lucina's cape moves around dramatically as she observes, with Laurent silently ordering Noire not to fire any more arrows.
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.
The Elsen... smiles.
"... safe. It'll be safe. Finally I'll be safe. Hhh... hh... nothing... nothing will hurt any... more..."
He starts to fall.
"Now, before he hits the ground!", Zacharie says.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
Daroach scoffs. "Well, it worked on me, clearly."
"... Do you have anything that could heal him in the moment between turning back to normal and dying?" Fu pulls out a Senzu Essence Capsule. "Because if you don't, I might."
