Rin laughs harder at their reactions. She doubles over and promptly falls off her hoverboard, landing on the ground.
"He's gearing up for war."

What's so funny, Goldilocks ? says Nanza, a bit peeved. D-don't laugh at me like that ! D-do I have some funny make up or something ? Hey ! I-I'm not joking !
However, Nanza find herself laughing as well, for a reason that escape her, and start to guffaw ! When Rin falls, however, she goes to try to check on her.
Vivenette, in outrage, fan herself with her hand, looking away in contempt. She does raise one eye in surprise when Rin falls.

Rin coughs out one last chuckle. "Oooookay... just had to get that <out of my system.">
"He's gearing up for war."
Viserys touches back down, dispels Sapphire Starlight, and hurries over to the downed Pilly, throwing his hood back as he does so.
"Jeez, calm the hell down, Pseudo! I literally said I'd give you the full story once this was over, remember? No need to go screaming at me!"
Pietro drops out of his Chaos Form before dashing over to Pseudo's side.
"Alright, it all started when those two assholes up there decided to sneak into the Arena and drag everyone into their petty bitchfest..."
He points up at Galeem and Dharkon, then proceeds to explain the whole WOL situation.
"Yeah... Still, we've made a crapton of progress and we're close to killing those two, so it's not all doom and gloom."

They're not right next to her, but Nanza sighs, scratching the back of her head.
Geez, you've got a weird sense of humor !

Rin sniffles a little. "I just thought that cross thing you did was hilarious," she tells Nanza.

Divine Burden
WHAT ????!
Nanza dissolves into laughter, falling on her back and laughing hard. She does bother to raise a single thumb at Rin, in thanks, before starting to pretty much go mad laughing.
How dare you ! You little monkey !

Pseudo looks at Meta Knight and Pietro during their explanations. After it, he starts to look pissed off. So much so that his eyes are glowing a full on red, and he's gritting his teeth. A look he hasn't donned since before he turned good.
"Are you telling me that a single being managed to attack once, get past all of our base's defenses, snatched us all up, turned us all into slaves for months, and proceeded to do the very same to almost the rest of the Arena!?"
He turns to look at Galeem and Dharkon.
"And they're the reason everything is in disarray and Pilly is this wounded!?"
He turns to Botar.
"Prepare the Darklings! They will-"
"The Darklings are Spirits. They cannot fight.", Botar says.
"... Ugh, then... then Locke can-"
"We haven't found Locke yet."
"Haven't found... Ness-"
"He's ill. He can't-"
"SERIOUSLY!?", Pseudo suddenly shouts, which actually seems to startle Botar a little, due to the fact that it's rare for Pseudo to raise his voice even when he's frustrated.
Pseudo paces back and forth a little, muttering to himself, and looking like he's going to break something, or someone, in half. Eventually he turns back to Botar.
"Bring Pilly back to the base immediately, and look for someone who can repair her!"
"We already know someone. One of Ninten's friends. He has experience with repairing the Masked Man too."
"Good, he'll do. Go get him.", Pseudo says. Botar nods and warps away with Pilly. Pseudo, meanwhile, hasn't calmed down in the slightest, and it doesn't look like he will for some time.
Cell is still listening in, and pondering.

Thor, now back to full health, reach Cell.
WHO ARE YOU ?! he questions, grinning.
The Sheperds are quite happy to leave while they can.

Meta Knight slowly steps away from Pseudo.
Meanwhile, Fu, totally unconcerned, watches the past scene in full to himself. "Huh. He really did nearly take out Galeem..."
Rin looks at Nanza.
"... Oh. Didn't think <you'd be the type> to laugh at your own joke!"
Looks like she plays for both sides.
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Nanza stares at her, pause for a moment, and wipe away her tears. Vivenette, happy about being supported, smugly lean against a wall.
Only a vapid child could ever laugh at her own jokes ! How embarrassing !
Well, my jokes are good !
Certainly not good enough to get such... undignified reactions out of you two, hmph !
Nanza stick her tongue out at her, and look at Rin.
So, what have ya been doing recently ?
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.
Viserys rolls his eyes at how cheerfully flippant Myth!Thor was being about the entire situation, resisting the urge to send him flying with an Unrelenting Force. The fact that Pilly was in such a damaged state wasn't exactly helping matters.
Pietro decides to just wait until Pseudo's had a chance to cool down before saying anything, admittedly unnerved by how enraged his usually calm and composed friend was.
It doesn't look like Pseudo is going to calm down for a good while though. He himself realizes this too, so he takes a deep breath, lets it back out, and puts his arms behind him, taking on a proper posture, though his expression shows that he is still as angry.
"... It may be better for me to return to the base and oversee Pilly's reparations for the time being.", he says, trying to sound as calm as he possibly can. "Once she has been fully repaired, I will decide on what I'll do next."
Cell turns to Thor, then chuckles.
"Just another victim of this whole affair." , he grins. "But we share a common goal... so it's in my best interests that I help you all out."

Meta Knight quietly nods to Pseudo.
Fu sees himself out.
"Just wandering and pondering," Rin says, picking herself up off the ground and folding her arms confidently.

Oh ! Well, we managed to beat up a psychotic jester annoying runt thing !
Indeed, and there was that woman... demon thing.
Hurgh.

THEN I LEAVE YOU FRIEND ! FAREWELL !
He leaves.

Viserys simply turns on his heel and prepares to depart, his cloak billowing behind him.
"Alright. Wanda and I learned something we think you'll wanna know about, by the way," Pietro says to Pseudo. "So once you've had enough time to cool off, just send Botar and we'll tell you everything. And... sorry about all this."
As Cell leaves as well, Pseudo looks at Pietro.
"I will.", he says, nodding. He then glances at Viserys.
"Once Pilly is repaired-", he says to him. "we'll come and find you. I'm sure you'd both like to be reunited with each other."
He starts to walk, but winces due to the damage he'd pertained, not having done so when he ran to Pilly due to the adrenaline dimming the pain. He leans back and lets his spider legs touch the ground, then uses those to start walking, letting the legs carry him away.

"Thank you. I pray that her recovery is a swift one," Viserys answers Pseudo before heading off.
Pietro simply nods to Pseudo, then proceeds to dash away.

"Huh..."
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Don't you have demon characteristic, though ? asks Vivenette.
Took ya long enough to notice, huh ?
I merely thought it was an odd power of yours, but during the fight, you unlocked some... form.

"A <different form?"> Rin muses.
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
I don't know, I just felt... in a daze, but like an agreeable daze, ya know ?
You seememed stronger.
Nanza's eyes open widely in interest.

"Hmm..."
Rin turns away from Nanza and Vivenette with one hand on her chin.
This is looking not-great... I should probably venture out again, she thinks to herself. There may be more threatening influences afoot than the <Mirror Image Code.>

Nanza looks at Vivenette, nod, and sneakily approach Rin. If she gets close enough, she put on a silly face and attempts to tap her on the shoulder.
UBWAH !

Otto would nod, affirmitively. "Might as well come with you! It's a chance to get out and about, and have some fun. I could use this opportunity, really." Geralt would nod in approval, immediately rushing off to the bounty board, as Chris finishes off his breakfast. Meanwhile, Riki would speak up a bit. "Before Riki goes, Riki want to say goodbye to oka and littlepon. Oka might kill riki if riki leaves without telling oka."
