Pf, you're a bit too eager to go to Valhalla, huh? Well, don't die on me! Take care.

Thor rises from his seat as well, gripping Mjolnir as he prepares to leave.

Troa exits the building and leap out. Once she's far up into the air, though, she makes one hell of a wicked smile.

Moron.

Then she resumes looking neutral, and leap away.

Vs. Blixer

Rho knew that his barrier would not last forever, but once Blixer started breaking his way through...

"... Now might time for that thing from earlier."

The summon took things into its own hands and immediately began charging up as it opened up a small gap in the back of the shielding for Rho to escape from. Rho... almost didn't want to, but after sharing a long, solemn look with his summon, he understood that this was the only way — that, at the end of the day, his War-Golem would reform in its home plane. He would be lucky if he continued to be able to survive here under at all, really.

He ducked and dashed out as the Psikros War-Golem continued to build up energy, rising and rising as the barrier slowly cracked and crumbled... Then, in a single flash of psychic light, the entire shell exploded as Blixer continued to pound it, exploding in a furious, vengeful burst of psi-crystal shards and planar energies!


Vs. Enforcer

Omega nodded to Rbade, and said, "Damn... how much force do you think we'll need? This is one tough lad, after all. Great big absolute unit."

After waiting for an answer, he rushed over to his axe, and switched it over to staff mode as he charged up his [Stand]'s energy at the head.

A bead of sweat rolled down Sukira's forehead.

"Um... ah... s-sometimes, people offer to s-spar — not a real fight, yknow, but l-like... um... f-friendly practice, y-yknow? K-keeping each other's edges s-sharp!"

Blixer paid no attention to Domon's glancing blows as he began breaking through the barrier - but the explosion caught him off guard. As the dust settled, though, Blixer was simply brushing off dust and shards of of his entirely undamaged body.

   "All right, with that out of the way..."   

He took a swing as Domon, wherever he was, more swatting at him like a fly than anything.

Cyan and Blue touched down next to Rho, exhausted from dodging the blasts and the explosion. "I hope you've got more tricks up your sleeve - otherwise, we're... Kinda fucked."

Domon is struck down, knocking him out of Super Mode, though his eyes remain tinged pinkish from the strain.

"N-not good..."

He struggles to get up.

Vs. Blixer

Rho stammered for a second. "Th-there's one summon I have left... but..."

His familiar conjured up the clear orb that represented his third and final summon that he could make for today. Rho gazed into its clear, empty depth, shuddering as it seemed to swallow... everything. Not like a black hole, full of darkness and crushing gravity that shredded to pieces that which fell too close, but more like an... absence. A hunger that didn't know what it wanted... Yet.

Unfortunately, that sort of reaction was one born of the experience of having to acquire this particular summon — the others would only see the clear, glasslike, refractive orb itself. This thing scared him more than Blixer did. He had to think of a reason not to use it, and fast.

"I know that Domon is stronger than what we just saw! He has to be able to beat Blixer, I know it!" he said, both in genuine belief for his friend and out of fear that he himself might not really believe what he had just said.

Blixer leans in over Domon, casting the whole platform in shadows with his size. As the warrior attempts to get on his feet, he's interrupted as one of Blixer's claws knocks him on his back again, before its point is placed on his chest, pinning him.

   "Stay."    Blixer commanded, much as one would a disobedient pet, before he turned his attention to Rho, leaning further in towards him until they were at eye level, Blixer's draconic head nearly rested on the platform.    "So, here we are again. With that little, uh... Distraction out of the way, it comes down to the two of us. Well, that and the dumbfuck squad, but... Yeah, you know, I shouldn't even have to explain at this point."   

"Uh, Rho... N-now would be a good ti-"

   "Oh would you shut the fuck up, you two, we're sort of having a moment here."    Blixer placed one of his claws between Rho and the two shapes, cutting them off from view.    "I'm surprised you don't get sick of them, really."

Damn it... Rho believes in me... I can't let him down!

Domon shakily rises to his feet, but it's all he can do to stay upright at this moment. He has to do a Sword Plant just to prevent from keeling over.

Vs. Blixer

Rho wasn't even looking at Blixer, not at first. He just stared down at the orb... Such a small thing. Such a... horrible thing.

"I guess it's all just come down to this thing, hasn't it?"

He turned his attention to Blixer, a resigned look in his eyes, but one punctuated by determination to face the consequences of his actions.

"I wouldn't expect you to understand why, Blixer — and I don't mean that as an insult. It's simply not in your nature to ally yourself with those you see as less than you. If anything, it's more than you control them, from what I've seen, no?"

   "I guess."    Blixer admitted, shrugging.    "It works a hell of a lot better, though. They don't go around doing stupid shit like those two do. Anyway, I'd keep chatting, but-"   

"Oh shut up!" Blixer was interrupted by Cyan as he flash stepped in front of Rho, already in a battle stance. "I'm not about to take this a moment longer. You're going down." Right as Blixer started to rear up to full height, Cyan came at him with a punch, hitting him square between the eyes.

As expected, of course, it did absolutely nothing other than annoy Blixer. He grabbed Cyan from his snout as he turned back to Rho and Domon. Cyan immediately attempted to flash-step, but was grabbed again before he could do anything useful, and given a good crushing squeeze until he didn't have the strength left to resist.

   "You know, let's use this as a teaching moment for you all. This is what happens when you fuck with me one too many times."   

With that, he stuck Cyan in his mouth and bit down, ripping him clean in half and reducing him to a shower of little blue crystals that he spat out, quickly followed by the crystal remains of the half still in his hands, in front of them - including a mortified Blue.

Immediately, the pile started reforming, Cyan returning to life. "It's not ovSLAM! Blixer's claw, curled into a fist, came down, turning Cyan right back to crystals, and then three more times, punctuating his words as he ground him into a fine powder.

   "It! Is! OVER!"

Domon bares his teeth, struggling to contain his rage.

I have to focus... thinks Domon. Calm myself... focus... All my senses, on the enemy before me... ALL MY SENSES!

Domon's eyes suddenly turn blank again, only this time, the light that shines forth is pale golden.

"Annihilate" cuts out instantly. No Record Scratch, no Letting the Air out of the Band, just one second it's on full blast, and the next it's dead quiet.

Domon calms his breathing, rises up straight and puffs out his chest, before assuming a meditative posture.

Vs. Blixer

"..."

Rho felt like he was having some sort of mad hallucination, as he slowly approached the remains of his friend, and, in no small way, the heart behind this entire adventure. Just... shards. Scattered on the ground, like nothing more than crumbs.

"Cyan... I..."

He went to say something, but just lost strength in his legs entirely, and fell to the ground as tears began to stream uncontrollably down his face. He made no sound, but it was painfully obvious that this had hurt him so very deeply.

And still, the orb hovered before him, beckoning...

Blixer was about to lower himself down to Rho again when his music cut out, and Domon's started.    "... Where did my music go? And what's this second-rate heroic bullshit?"    He looked genuinely taken aback, his grin faltering for just a moment before it returned.    "All of this, and you're still fighting. That's so cute, I'm almost tempted to let you live. Key word being almost."    He reared up to smash him from above, the same way he smashed Cyan.

Rho wasn't alone in being upset. Blue approached the pile, having reached a point beyond sobbing or crying, one of complete silence. He dropped to his knees, a shaky hand reaching out to grab a handful of the dull blue pile, letting the shards of his friend flow through the gaps between the fingers.

"I... W-We failed... Cy, he..."

Suddenly, he was overcome with a look of anger and defiance putting anything he had previously displayed to shame, and quite unbefitting of his usual demeanor.

"... No."

He looked to Rho.

"Whatever you can... D-Do it now. We, we can still win this. Trust me."

Domon's arm snaps out and deflects the slam with a backfist, forcing the image of the King of Hearts crest into Blixer's face.

"You don't get to decide that. You have no right to play God, and we're going to tear away your false mantle, right here and now!"

He then lowers his meditation-hands, and raises up the hand he used to parry as the back of it begins to shine red. His eyes become visible, but the Hyper Mode remains.

The music suddenly changes again.

My Heart is As Clear As a Mirror-Like Still Water, Yet My Hand is a Roaring Inferno

"This hand of mine is burning red... Its loud roar tells me to grasp victory!"

He gets down, preparing to spring forth!

"Erupting... Burning... FINGAAAAAAAA!"

Domon rushes to drive his hand into the center of Blixer's mass, aiming to bury his grip there and hoist the abomination over his head!

If successful, he follows up with a roar of "Heeeeaaaaat... EEEEND!" and a giant explosion is discharged from Domon's hand that will engulf Blixer entirely, blowing him away!

Rho got to his feet, as yet another song came through — not overriding Domon's, but mixing with it... somehow. It was a bit of a surreal experience but it sort of worked. Tears still streamed down his face, but his eyes spoke of a resolve that could have killed gods if someone had but asked.

The resonance of a unbroken spirit echoes forth (Raise Your Flag -- MAN WITH A MISSION)

"So long as I still live, I refuse to let men such as him get away with cruelties like this!"

His shoulders and arms burned with the faint magi-fire that was signature to him, as held the clear orb in hand, and squeezed. It shattered like glass as the semi-real fragments dispersed into motes of magical energy, and the heavens parted with a shudder as a... thing descended from them like a twisted mockery of an angel. It was beautiful, in a... hideous and warped sort of way.

It was also fucking enormous, easily the largest thing that Rho had summoned — though it was still smaller than Blixer in this form. Apparently it also felt the need to compensate for something, as it carried around a giant mace made of floating, jagged fragments in two of its four arms. The other two were positioned at its back in some kind of either mockery or attempted imitation of wings, though it was clearly holding them there rather than that being those arms' natural resting position.

"Thine crimes against law and light hath been seen, and for them, I sentence you to six thousand eons of torment in the Happy Farm."

Uh...

Okay then, I guess?

It hefted the Shattered Mace back like a baseball bat, and waited to see if Blixer would get chucked like a baseball from the tower. Assuming that this did not happen, though, given Blixer's wrapped-around-ed...-ness, the summon then just went to town and attempted to bonk Blixer repeatedly, while shouting a variety of incredibly colorful curses.

The blast from Erupting Burning Finger sent Blixer reeling, recovering from the blast just in time to get clobbered by the angelic(?) figure. He took a flurry of blows before managing to catch the club in all four available claws, just about holding it at bay. He was huffing and barely catching his breath, and his body had acquired an array of cracks, emanating from where Domon had hit him, but they slowly began to close after a moment.

   "I... I can't believe it. You, you, you assholes actually hurt me! But... But it doesn't matter! I'll still fuck you up! I still can't die! I'll just heal back up from whatever shit you throw at me!"   

As this beating went down, Blue had turned back to the pile of shards. He took the shards from atop his head, looking at them for a moment as they started to glow and resonate.

"I... I owe you one, Cy. After what happened in the factory... And for everything."

He took a moment to mentally steel himself, and then thrust the shards into the pile - right as Blixer's sentence ended. Blue light burst forth, bathing the whole surrounding area in its glow as the shards rose, the dust that had been Cyan swirling around them before congealing back into a new body for him. He rose from the ground, rainbow energies swirling around him and a look of wrath that silenced even Blixer - and caused his grip to falter in his surprise, freeing up the summon for more attacks.

"It's NOT over!"

Rho could feel his arms burning in a way that was deeper and significantly more painful than his typical summoner's burn. This was a burn that went all the way down to his bones, more or less — and frankly, he did not give one singular damn. He raised his arm high into the air as he did not ask, but commanded his summon to mirror his movements.

The summon did just that, attempting to rip away the mace with two of its arms as it raised the other two over its head, before then proceeding to rain hammer-like blows upon Blixer.

"You're supposed to be dead already! Stop being alive, you magenta salamander-looking ass, you're ruining my lawgiver vibe!"

Assuming that it could retrieve its mace, its then put all four arms on the handle as it stepped back for and wound itself up for a single, almighty home run strike against Blixer's head.

"I banish you to the Out of the Park!"

Granted, his head would probably not going flying off like a baseball, but it's a fun image all the same.

Domon's javelins caused cracks all over Blixer, and the exploding slash actually drew forth his corrupted blood. All the while, the summon's blows rained down, capped off by the home run strike crushing the left side of his face with a loud crunch, sending pink crystals and corrupted blood flying everywhere. Wherever anyone caused a wound, Cyan followed the strike up with a blast of shard energy, cauterizing the wound and preventing him from regenerating. He raised an arm to take a swing at the summon, but before it even came forward, it was blown clean off by a particularly powerful blast from Cyan.

   "This... This can't be happening! You're all a bunch of nobodies! You're supposed to lose! I, I can still win! I haven't lost yet!"   

Blixer opened his mouth, rapid-firing laser blasts at the group. While he was certainly disadvantaged here, he still hit hard.

Enforcer finally bursts through the box, and is smacked by the lightning-charged Traveler. That... doesn't do too much. It gets his attention, though, right before Rbade's fully charged Invisible Shot blindsides him enough to stagger him for a sec, possibly giving Dylan time for a couple more free hits before he retaliates.

Rbade looks at Omega.

"I... don't know. This damn thing won't give me a reading." He taps the Scouter so the 'damn thing' is clear in context. "I have a couple of plans for how we can get at least one good hit in, though."

Miles had been resting in one of the nearby hotels, the Sisters in their Doll forms curled up in his arms with Shyna asleep on another bed and Zero in his "powered down" state in front of the window. However, the bright flash outside started up his systems again,"Hmm?"

The Robobot got up and opened the sliding door to the balcony for a better look. His interest piqued by the power the light unleashed,"Incredible..."

"Aghh!!" Miles suddenly shot up out of bed, grasping his chest and breathing heavily.

The rest of the group was startled awake by this,"Miles! What's wrong?!" Nebula exclaimed before looking to his chest...and seeing a faint pulse of Void energy taking the form of a heart before fading away,"What the..."

"I-I'm fine now..." Miles took a deep breath and composed himself,"No idea what that was about. Maybe I ate a few too many popcorn shrimp earlier..." He then looked up to see Zero staring at him,"Dude, what's the matter? You're creeping me out..."

"That's not possible..." Zero began,"I...I got rid of that power...I know I did..."
