"Arachnos! Death or glory!"

Rbade commits waaagh and charges the phantom as his plushter charges, hoping to pull off a Big Bang Strike in its face.

/＼｡｡/＼

"I've no clue what that is but you seem to say it like it's a good thing so I guess I'll have to trust you on your word!"

He assumes his first tier combat form, which is just himself wearing a business suit, and points dramatically at the enemies in a display of intimidation, adjusting his glasses with the other hand in a way as to make them shine.

"You fools! Turn back now, or you shall RUE the day you laid a hand on Arachnos, Weaver of Fate, Brood of Arachna of a Million Looms, Enforcer of-"

Then a fireball explodes in his face.

DORYOKU, MIRAI, A BEAUTIFUL STAR

Lab Exterior

Dylan simply looks at Arachnos and sighs, before aiming to stick a foot up the MegaDragon's big head, flipping in the air before attempting a heel strike.

Gold Tager attempts to magnetically pull enemies by him before knocking them back with a big punch.

---

Data Chamber Balcony

Kokonoe steps out and pulls out a gatling gun to boot.

Kokonoe: "Now I can't let you get away with concussing my star player."

She fires upon the Acheron Chaser, as well as any other bot nearby.

Tager attempts to wrangle the rest of his tools with the same trick Gold Tager's pulling outside.

---

Main Hallway East

"GRAAAAAAAH!"

Painwheel rips into action, moving to the closest enemy and going for a grab; if successful, she would ram the large propeller of sorts ok her back into the opponent before spinning it, hopefully cutting the bot to shreds.

Android Rugal scans the area for enemies.

"DIO is the ultimate being! The being of the future! Dare you not to rival me!"

Outside the Lab

Rey gets tackled down by the Naviron Gnasher, but he manages to freeze it solid with an ice magic shot and escape. He notices Lil' Foot loitering outside the area of battle and takes a potshot at it with fire magic, hoping to signal to the other fighters to take it out before it has a chance to become a nuisance.

The Ghastly Phantom will be unaffected no matter what Rbade tries to do to it. It swoops down and attempts to pass through him. If allowed to, it will inflict significant damage by draining some kind of ambiguous life force from his body.

Gold Tager yanks the Karakuri Chaser, Karakuri MegaSniper, and Naviron Lancer. The Naviron Lancer and Karakuri Chaser die, but even as it goes sliding back from the blow, the Karakuri MegaSniper tries to get a couple of shots off at him.

The Acheron MegaSniper fires a triple shot off towards roughly the middle of the fray, not aiming anywhere in particular but liable to hit just about anyone.

The League bosses and Acheron MegaChaser move in closer. The Karakuri MegaChaser makes a beeline for Arachnos, before suddenly turning away and going for Gold Tager instead.

The MegaDragon is knocked back from Dylan's combo, but it retaliates with another triple-shot fireball aimed at him.

Inside

Addison: "Nrgh... thanks..."

The Rogue: "Hahaha! Enjoying my game?"

Addison: "For the last time, Rodney, a bunch of enemies crammed into one space isn't a game, it's a mess and a danger!"

The Rogue: "... I guess I should mention the Phoenix Blocks, then."

The Acheron Chaser runs for cover as it is pelted by shots. The League and Altair Snipers are taken out fast, but the Karakuri Sniper and Bandit Sniper gracefully evade to either side, before firing their blasters at Kokonoe simultaneously.

Tager may be caught off-guard by the simultaneously-approaching Naviron Sentry, which attempts to push him back and crush him against the nearest wall with its shield. He will find that any frontal attacks will fail to harm it, and he must attack from above, the side, or behind - and it will turn to face him if he attempts conventional means of circling around it.

Addison looks up at Kokonoe and Tager. "We should check the roof."

-

Painwheel snags the Acheron Sniper, doing some damage and knocking it back, but it's too bulky and fires a barrage of blasts at her.

Android Rugal will be able to see the League, Altair, Karakuri, and Acheron Ghosts running at them from both ends of the hallway, only for them to vanish as they approach.

While Ghosts are invisible, they can't attack anyone, but can still be attacked if you know where to strike.

Remaining:

• Acheron Chaser (3 HP remaining)
• Acheron Sniper (3 HP remaining)
• Bandit Sniper
• Karakuri Sniper
• Naviron Sentry
• League Ghost
• Altair Ghost
• Karakuri Ghost
• Acheron Ghost

"He's gearing up for war."

Shaking off the ash from the explosion, Arachnos goes into a combat stance as he prepares to clash with the Karakuri MegaChaser, only to see it veer away at the last moment.

"Ignoring me, are you. You will regret this," he mumbles under his breath before charging at the enemy as it flies away, dodging a rogue shot in the process. His spider limbs, fully regenerated since last time, emerge from his back as he goes for his usual rapid-fire combo of stabs to the MegaChaser's back, finishing off with a vomit of green sizzling acid that will deal damage over time if it successfully drenches the foe.

Outside the Lab

"Jesus, this is a lot of mobs..."

Omega sure as hell wasn't about to let the kill on a dragon escape him, even with all the other foes around here. With his icy sword-staff in hand, he waited for the Megadragon's attention to focus on someone else, before he charged up his own weapon with dark energies, and charged forward!

"The Stick has sentimental value. It's like an enormous, hideous teddy bear we can kill things with." -rikalous

Rbade hunkers down and tries to let the Ghastly Phantom bounce off his carapace. This obviously fails, and the next thing he knows he is flat on his ass, retching.

"Wham'st the FUCK!"

Potshots begin flying in the Phantom's general direction.

/＼｡｡/＼

Lab Exterior

Dylan summons Traveler and spins it, knocking away the fireballs before assuming a backhanded grip.

Dylan: "Jesus... this thing's kinda tough."

He runs in, going for a meaty punch that follows through to a big slash.

Gold Tager gets hit by the shots, only faltering a little, before charging the MegaSniper.

---

Datascape Observation Balcony

Tager gets slammed, muttering about how he's not one for moving super fast. He attempts to throw it to the side, not even noticing it's immunity.

Kokonoe dives for cover, putting up a machine to fire a fireball headed towards the Acheron Chaser before firing at the Snipers that shot at her.

---

East Hallway

Painwheel spins her blades, the attack sort of fizzling, but still dealing mild damage. She heads in once more, attempting to simply claw at the bot.

Android Rugal turns to face the Ghosts on his side, regardless of if they're gone, and fires off a massive Kaiser Wave, taking up the whole hall...

Edited by DefRevenge24601 on Mar 9th 2020 at 4:17:59 AM

"DIO is the ultimate being! The being of the future! Dare you not to rival me!"

The Karakuri MegaChaser is knocked back by the first stab, causing the rest of Arachnos' combo to fail. It continues to move around randomly.

The Karakuri MegaSniper circles around Gold Tager, but instead of attacking him it veers off towards the edge of the battlefield...

And then all of the MegaSnipers fire into the mix at once, briefly making a bullet hell out of the surroundings.

Rey gets battered by the blasts, but moves closer to Arachnos. "Melee attacks knock them back, ranged attacks don't. Those samurai-looking ones move in completely random directions. You should be glad it turned before collision." He takes a shot at the Karakuri MegaChaser with his ice staff, hoping to freeze it in place.

The Ghastly Phantom changes targets, beginning to hover around Dylan now.

The Zombie and Undead Chasers come charging at Rbade.

Meanwhile, the Frost Sorcerer looses a ball of ice upon Omega, which will freeze him solid, temporarily immobilizing him, if it hits.

The Acheron Chaser eats fireball and wisely decides to hang back. It paces back and forth, awaiting an opening.

The Bandit and Karakuri Snipers each get hit, and trade positions before firing back.

The Naviron Sentry gets tossed onto its back and crushed under the weight of its own shield... but then a burning-orange light envelops its remains, freezing it mid-death animation.

Addison: "Guys? The roof? I need someone to go up there with me."

-

The Acheron Sniper is blown across the hall, too far for its shots to reach Painwheel.

Android Rugal's Kaiser Wave wipes out the Ghosts on his side, and Painwheel also knocks back the ghosts on hers.

The Karakuri Ghost reappears for only a moment before vanishing again.

The Acheron Ghost reappears, but does not vanish.

Remaining:

• Acheron Chaser (1 HP remaining)
• Acheron Sniper (1 HP remaining)

ASL Labs Roof

A number of strange man-sized cube-shaped devices◊ become visible on the rooftop of the labs...

Or perhaps not, since nobody on the outside is focusing on the roof.

"He's gearing up for war."

"SERIOUSLY NOW?! IT GOT KNOCKED BACK BY THAT?!" Arachnos shouts in complete disbelief, at a complete loss by his failed combo considering that each individual stab had next to no pushing power of its own. "I'LL GIVE YOU RANGED ATTACKS YOU SON OF A TWAT!" Arachnos grows stingers out of his hands and opens fire on the Karakuri MegaChaser that got away, with the full intention of turning the damn thing into a pincushion. These too would inject a damage over time poison. Despite his blind fury, is able to avoid any stray MegaSniper shots that reach this far.

"Y'all better fucking DIE OR I'LL KILL YA DEAD–"

A more pissed-off Rbade rushers the chasers, intending to make up for his earlier whiff with a bigger and badder Big Bang Strike. He tries to swipe the plushter horizontally at the last second to rack up some spread damage on multiple chasers.

Edited by Rbade on Mar 9th 2020 at 2:04:23 AM

/＼｡｡/＼

Outside the Lab

Omega attempted to deflect the icy blast off of his similarly-icy blade and onto the dragon, hopefully freezing it instead — or at least maybe dealing damage or something. If that was successful, he would proceed to jump back and throw two low-power Dark Bolts, one at the dragon, and then the other at the Frost Sorcerer.

If not, he was about to be very, very cold.

Lab Exterior

Dylan turns to Brown mode, putting up two walls of earth in the Phantom's flight path. If successfully trapped, he'll bring the walls together and smush it!

However, he soon realizes what's going on and gets pelted by bullets.

Gold Tager tanks the shots, but is pushed back and clearly damaged.

Datascape Observation Balcony

Tager: "Kokonoe, go with Addison up to the roof. I'll hang back and deal with the stragglers."

Kokonoe: "As much as I'd like to tell you not to boss me around, I am better for the job. Godspeed."

She then nods to Addison before motioning her to make for the West Hallway.

---

East Hallway

Painwheel rushes in, going for one big propeller spin to chop up the remaining bots. If successful, the duo retreats, their job being done.

"DIO is the ultimate being! The being of the future! Dare you not to rival me!"

The Karakuri MegaChaser gets hit, slowly whittling down its vitality.

Rey gives Arachnos a look like 'dude calm down'. "They’re simple enemies from a simple game. They follow those simple functions - shields force them to turn away, melee attacks knock them - and you - back, ranged attacks don’t."

Rey points at the Ghastly Phantom. "Also I think that thing's normally invincible, but Gamestar Mechanic only had so many ways to deal damage. We should try hitting it with different things until one works."

As for Dylan's rock-smushing attempt... it fails. The Phantom simply phases through it and swoops down for a life-stealing ram attack.

Rbade manages to take out the Zombie Chaser, but the functionally-identical Undead Chaser survives, though not by much. Additionally, the spray fire catches the Flame Sorcerer and takes it out.

Omega's maneuver works, though it's clear the MegaDragon won't be frozen for long.

However, the Sorcerers are both frozen in their dying states, surrounded by a burning-orange glow.

"Right, let's go!"

The Karakuri and Bandit Snipers start to pursue the fleeing Addison and Kokonoe, but they give up and turn to face Tager instead, quickly trying to take cover behind whatever is available in preparation for the fight.

And then the Naviron Sentry's death animation plays in reverse and it's suddenly fine again, stomping towards Tager to push him back.

-

The Acheron Sniper and Karakuri Ghost bite the dust, but the Acheron Ghost turns invisible and slips past them, escaping to elsewhere in the lab...

-

As Addison and Kokonoe reach the way up (stairs? Elevator?), they find the passage blocked by the Acheron Chaser and Acheron Ghost.

"Crap..."

"He's gearing up for war."

Arachnos seems to calm down a little after having turned the MegaChaser into a hedgehog. Seems like that was a matter of principle more than anything. He lets the venom do its thing and looks at the Ghostly Phantom.

"That thing? It doesn't seem like much of a threat to me, to be honest. Slow and lacking any means of dealing damage aside from contact. Trying different likely ineffectual attacks to get rid of it right now would waste our time, which is probably exactly what it's intended to do. I vote we ignore it and start off by killing the things that are actually - ...why are those things glowing?"

He points at the glowing sorcerers, then lobs a white cocoon full of spiders at the wounded MegaSniper, which will cause, what else, lingering poison damage if the spiderlings successfully manage to swarm their target and start biting.

Outside the Lab

"Damn, I feel good today."

Barely skipping a beat, Omega summoned his Harrowhawk, and sent it off to pester the Undead Chaser, and hopefully finish it off, as he flipped his sword-staff back into purely its staff form, and threw out a hailstorm of dark bolts at the Mega Dragon again, seeking to further damage it!

"What the hell are those frozen ones doing...?"

"The Stick has sentimental value. It's like an enormous, hideous teddy bear we can kill things with." -rikalous

Rbade, not having been called out, does not calm down and instead proceeds to attempt to bludgeon the Undead Chaser to death with his own armored body. With a few poorly controlled point-blank buster shots thrown in the mix, of course.

/＼｡｡/＼

The golem is destoyed by the last attacks, collapsing into a pile of rocks.

"That was crazy...."

There was something shiny in the pile of rocks.

Killer!Kirby stand there, just smiling as he stares at Grim.

I'm finally a big boy!

"A silent type are you? Well, I'm a nice guy so I'm going to give you a chance and allow you to make your move first."

Killer!Kirby wastes no time. He jumps into the air toward Grim, going for a flurry of slashes at his head.

I'm finally a big boy!

Grimm raises his scythe and blocks the incoming slashes from Kirby he then swings his scythe forward toward Kirby

Killer!Kirby's knife clashes with the scythe and he uses this oppurtunity to jump away. His smile seemed to grow bigger as he knew that this was gonna be fun.

Killer!Kirby started to run around Grim creating afterimages of himself all around him. Then one if the afterikages from behind Grim would some out revealing the real Kirby as he tried to stab Grim in the back.

I'm finally a big boy!

Luxord manually drops his shield. He goes over to investigate the shiny.

"He's gearing up for war."

"Where did he go? Hes everywhere I guess if I cant hit one of them ill have to get all of them at once!" Grimm spun around in a circle causing a shockwave to be blasted out around him.

Killer!Kirby jumped into the air, befire diving downwards with his knife in front of him, trying to impale Grim.

I'm finally a big boy!
