Shulk would move in, Assuming his foe isn't dead yet. Rushing forwards, he'd Strike with his monado, attempting to deal a stunning blow to inflict daze, to keep the foe down longer. Shulk would yell out the name of his attack, like he always does.
"This fight isn't going to end that easily! Shaker edge!"
The monado would likely be particularly devestating in this scenario, as of his foe being somewhat mechanical.
Vezon grins and immediately creates a portal underneath him, falling through it. As he's falling, he creates two more portals, one of which takes in Loki's blasts, while the other one takes the Monado's stab.
A portal then opens behind Vergil, through which the Monado's stab travels, threatening to hit him.
Five smaller portals open above the group, sending Loki's blasts flying at everyone else but Doppio.
Lastly, Vezon appears again in the sky above Doppio, letting himself fall and intending to grab onto him with his claws. If successful, he'll pull a Count Kevin move by attempting to sink his teeth into Doppio's neck and tear out his throat.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Doppio points at the sky, but it's too late !
Oboro, being a bit sturdy, tank the attack, though she's brought to her knees for a moment. Samsara dodge and, upon spotting Doppio's danger, run at him, activating Astra in mid air and attempting to attack Vezon with a ferocious flurry of slashes.
Doppio leap aside and roll over in panic, getting himself out of the danger zone but being still dangerously close to being pulled back in said danger zone.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterLoki staggers back upon being hit with a couple of his own blasts, each of which elicits a pained snarl from the half-Jotun. Shaking his head, he moves to slash at Vezon twice from the left with his dagger, Vegito's spirit enhancing the power of his cutting attacks.
Reacting quickly, Pietro deflects a redirected blast with Galaxia before dashing forth to get between Vezon and Doppio, then attempting to run the former through with his sword.
Shulk would roll through the portal after it opens, moving his slash away from virgil. "What was that...?"
Shulk would then just accept what just happened, happened, and would rush at vezon again, going in for another named attack... "Air slash!" Shulk would jump into the air with the slash... if he'd arrive to attack this turn.
Vezon, upon missing his attack, lands on his hands, then lets his feet drop to the ground, after which he stands upright again gracefully.
Only to then get caught in Astra, struck five times in a row by Samsara's blade.
He then gets hit by a few of the spectral blades, cutting into his arms a little. He retaliates with a portal though, sending the rest of the blades through it.
No new portal appears yet though, which means Vezon is saving the blades for later.
He uses the Spear of Fusion to block Loki once more, then attempts to reach out to grab Doppio.
Which gets him his underarm cut off by Pietro's and Shulk's attacks. He staggers back, shocked, and holding what is now half of his left arm with his right hand, clumsily trying to hold onto the Spear with the right hand as well.
After the shock value passes, Vezon just starts cackling again, opening a portal underneath his severed arm, dropping it in there. After that he swipes with the Spear, sending a red beam of energy from the left to the right of the battlefield, attempting to hit as many people as possible with it.
Unlike his earlier beam, this one has no secondary effects, and is purely meant for damage. Which could be a good amount considering that Vezon's strength is boosted by his Spirit.
Small parts of his damaged armor slightly heal as per Count Kevin's HP restoration ability.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Samsara snickers upon tagging him, but the beam surprises her, and she end up grazed, tumbling to the ground and losing one sword.
Oboro, for her part, recover in time to leap over the attack. She grabs a smaller spear and toss it at the Puppet, before landing and going for several stabs with her current weapon !
Doppio panic and startflailing around, without using his powers. Some giant, barely visible arms put him out of trouble, but barely.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterVergil dodges around the beam of energy and suddenly slides back. Using the Yamato's space cutting properties, he slashes so quickly he appears to only unsheath and reseath the blade, performing a Judgement Cut
in the direction of Vezon.
Shulk would have seen this beam coming, but would be too exhausted to use a monado art currently. He'd Look towards the incoming attack, Trying to dodge. He'd Still get hit, Screaming with agony... He's badly wounded, and he'd be brought down onto one knee, before he gets up and rushes in again, casting light heal on himself before moving for a normal attack.
He's still rather badly wounded.
Loki narrowly manages to avoid the oncoming beam by ducking beneath it, though his coat ends up being badly singed. In retaliation, he moves into melee range and attempts to stab Vezon in the gut with his dagger. If successful, he'll then try sweeping the Piraka's legs out from under him with a swing of his scepter.
While Pietro manages to raise Galaxia in time to shield himself from the brunt of the beam, he's nonetheless lifted off his feet and thrown to the ground next to Samsara with a pained grunt. Leaning against his sword, he slowly but surely begins climbing to his feet before offering Samsara a hand to help her up.
"Say... if you've got a plan in mind, consider me happy to cooperate."
Dark Realm
Mata Nui comes flying foot-first at Vezon. If the kick lands, he will slam his Scarabax Shield down into the ground to propel himself up above the fusion beam and fire down an explosive Thornax in midair.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Vezon whacks the smaller spear away, but is unable to parry Oboro's experience-fueled attacks all the way through, getting stabbed by some of them.
Judgement Cut proves to be very effective, as the stunned Vezon gets slashed all over his armor. Some parts of his cloak are also shredded as a result.
Loki gets close enough for the stab... but it kinda bounces off of Vezon's armor, which covers almost his whole torso. Still, the stab isn't meaningless, as the armor had already been pretty damaged, and Loki's stab breaks off a small part of it.
Growling, Vezon jumps back and opens a portal above the group before Shulk can get to him, through which the blades from before appear, raining down upon his enemies. Each one of them is at risk of getting hit.
Save for Mata Nui, who just got here, and manages to kick him in the face, sending him sliding over the ground like a bar of soap, with the Thornax blast sending him skidding even further.
He still gets back up though, and his lost arm is restored by Count Kevin's ability. He raises the spear once more... or would if he hadn't dropped it because of that kick. He immediately starts looking for it, planning on opening portals around him should his enemies try to take advantage of him being distracted.

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Thank you... well, first off, ask Loki about what it can do.
She look at the machine, and frowns.
We should try to keep a constant stream of attack going. It can heal itself. We shouldn't give it breathing room, too. Use your speed to attack while it's busy with the rest of us, alright ? explains Samsara, before picking up her sword.
She's able to deflect the one coming for her.
Get the spear ! Get it ! she yell, attempting to attack the distracted puppet with her sword but falling victim to a portal.
Oboro get a nasty slash across the head and fall down, with blood covering her eye. Still, she's determined to help as much as she can, and try to look for the spear, though the blood force her to close one eye.
Doppio is hit in the chest and fall down, though he gets back up, grabbing a random rock and putting it up on his ear, as if it were a phone.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterShulk would make a valliant effort at stopping the blades raining down on him, blocking a few, but that wouldn't be enough, as one strikes him right through the chest, downing him. He'd look up, as other blades come down, with only enough time to say one last thing. "I'm... Sorry..."
As Shulk's lifeless body collapses, a glow would eminate from him, Growing in intensity, the monado which just left shulk's grasp would suddenly reactivate, flying into the air. A new form would appear, With multiple halo like rings over them. It would resemble shulk, but one could tell that this isn't him, just by subtle ques, and the fact that shulk's corpse is still on the ground.
The new form would raise it's blade towards the foe which struck down shulk, stating "I'd never expect a foul machine would strike down my vessel. Let alone with such an attack. I may not be at my full strength yet, but I won't stand anything which resembles a creation of my enemy slighting me like that." Zanza would hover there for a while, before moving in with the monado on Vezon.
Loki quickly hurls his dagger at Vezon, then begins deflecting any blades coming towards him with his scepter.
"Got'cha. Oh, and the guy we're fighting is a he. Yeah, we're not up against some mindless drone here."
After tossing Galaxia to Samsara for her to use, Pietro activates his Chaos Form
◊ and begins darting about to evade the blades. While he manages to avoid any fatal blows, several of them cut into his arms and legs nonetheless. Gritting his teeth from the pain, he swiftly retaliates by whipping up a pair of Predator-style Chaos Wristblades, then dashing by Vezon multiple times, slashing at him with every pass.

Luckily for Samsara, those caught by one of Vezon's portals will exit another one on the battlefield a few seconds later, though some distance away from Vezon. It's a good thing he's distracted, otherwise he could've abused the situation with a trapped Samsara, perhaps even keeping her hostage.
Vezon manages to find the Spear before Oboro does and before Mata Nui has a chance to trap it, but before he can move in to snag it, he gets struck in the side of the head by Loki's dagger, making him flinch and slightly damaging his mask, but not enough to cause its powers to malfunction. Which, considering that his mask power is creating portals to other dimensions, is probably for the best, or who knows what kind of gateways could be opened and what could get through them.
Regardless, Mata Nui can keep the Spear down until someone else grabs it, seeing as he has two weapons already. Vezon then basically gets stunlocked by Pietro, and Oboro should be able to get to Mata Nui, the Spear ripe for the picking.
She may not know how to activate its fusing abilities, maybe not even its regular beams, but any spear in the hands of a skilled Spear Master makes for a good weapon, and it means Vezon is without its powers.
Oddly, while Vezon is getting hit all around, Count Kevin's Spirit takes on that 'prayer' pose again, only this time he seems to be chanting something, as his mouth is moving. ... but what could there be to worry about? Spirits can't harm anyone, so neither can he. What's the worst that could happen?
Zanza, as he's approaching, should get a vision.
A vision of a horrible, giant monster bursting out of the ground, spreading its wings and launching a huge, kinetic beam from the ground that vaporizes everyone present. Including himself.
He'll have to warn everyone for what's coming if he wants to circumvent this future.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Zanza would stop his rush suddenly, chuckling, and would begin to move away from where he visualized the incoming final smash, while still in midair. The divine figure would, rather egotisticly, begin to warn his party. "I belive that you mortals may want to Run. Now. As far away from where you currently are. Consider this a blessing." However arrogant that may sound, His arrogance would be broken by him, thinking out loud, Completely out of his usual character, saying "Fuck Fuck fuck that's really bad why did I think letting shulk come here was a good idea?" This may actually indicate more urgency to his previous statement.
As zanza flees, He'd make use of the monado to use "Monado speed" on as many people as possible, although it's usually a single target ability. If it still is, He'd use it on himself.

Oboro grabs the spear as soon as she can and make some fancy twirling with it, before taking a pose and making a "come at me gesture" towards the spirit.
She then goes for a furious flurry of strikes/ Her aim is somewhat lesser because of her eye but she's trying her hardest to hit still.
Samsara nods, grabs Galaxia, and sheath one sword, dual wielding part of the double sword and Galaxia. She prepares to go in to help Oboro.
Doppio, meanwhile...
Doppio ! I have given you use of King Crimson ! Use its awesome power upon your enemy !
Samsara stop when she hears Zanza, and Doppio freezes, before quickly attempting to use Epitaph. He still begins running in one direction.

Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterVergil summons a circle of Summon Swords around Vezon, which begin to spin around the being until they eventually all launch themselves at the puppet.
When Zanza gives his warning, Vergil scowls and slices twice at the air, once vertically and once horizontally. The slices leave a trail of blue energy which expand until a portal forms. He steps in, disappearing from the battle. He reappears at a position quite a ways away from the battle, the portal closing behind him.
Before he can go on the offensive, Loki raises an eyebrow at Zanza's warning, then decides to take his advice and legs it away from Vezon.
"Madness. This is all a bunch of bloody madness..."
"Dammit, he's already activating his supermove?" Pietro mutters under his breath, dashing back and picking up anyone in need of a quick getaway.

Vergil glares at Vezon as he falls to the ground.
"Hmmph, how boring..." He says as he slowly sheathes the Yamato.
