Vs. Fatalis

"Start running or start roasting!"

Megan stowed away her gun and shot her clutch claw towards an outcropping of bricks, using it to boost herself forward and into safety. The flames danced around her longcoat, but she seemed to be mostly okay — though, if left untreated, the burn wounds could be quite nasty.

Once she had a second behind cover, she realized that her hands had begun shaking. Old memories... ones that she had promised herself she would not be reliving today.


Sofia, having already had one near-run-in with the reaper today, decided to waste precisely zero seconds of time and booked it.


Thranix likewise decided to GTFO, and opted to pick up Nyr on the way.

   "Wh-Thranix, I can run just fine, put me down!"   

"Cant talk, too much fire!"

The Deathgripper, a dragon killer both trained and instinctive, realizes that something terrifying is about to be unleashed. As a parting gift for now, it belches a torrent of flaming and corrosive acid upon Fatalis from its maw before using its superior aerial agility to get the heck out of dodge. Grimmel himself is no dumber than his attack dog, and promptly follows Reyna's lead in getting to the safety of the fort, though not before letting loose with one last Dragon blast from Dementia at Fatalis' head.

As soon as everyone is in the fort, Reyna throws the lever, and a huge metal barricade rises up to protect the group from the flames.

Fatalis continues to burn everything. Even the barricade starts to strain, rattle, and glow with the heat of the fire.

And then when it does the second wave of fire, the barricade starts melting and lowering back into the hole it sprang from. There's a tense few seconds where it seems like the wall might not stand... but fortunately, it manages to outlast Fatalis' fire, and the combatants behind it are safe. Everyone not behind it dies, as usual.

Then Fatalis flies back into the courtyard, only this time, something new happens.

It starts glowing, bathing the area in bright light, and does a roar so loud it briefly deafens its foes, as the glow of its infernal heat becomes visible beneath its chest.

Reyna calls out, "It's in Hellfire mode now! Breaking its horns weakened its flame, but not enough! If you get hit and don't die, just focus on staying alive and healing first and foremost!"

"To the ballista!" she commands. "Fire a binder!" Meanwhile, she herself pole-vaults into the air and does an air-dash with a leaping slash at Fatalis' head, aiming to bounce herself off of it.

Since Zoro won't fire a ballista, he decides to assist Reyna, jumping into the air and grasping Crissaegrim alone. He hold it up against his head and bounce off against a wall, before trying to land a strong vertical slice on the head of the beast, charging the blade with his Haki before!

Baki!

Paty! Go to the Ballista, and keep your fortress and healing magic! I'll go to assist those 2 guys, refering to Reyna and Zoro. Tatiana then flies to serve to Fatalis another heap of Meteor Smashes.

Paty does as ordered and fires too. If you need healing, give me a shout!

The Guardian lost confidence briefly as the gate was shaken by the intense flame, she was even able to feel it seep into the room the group was hiding within. Once the beast had settled briefly, the Guardian took note of the intense glow that had built within its chest.

Once Reyna had opened the doors and given orders, Guardian leaped into action, moving swiftly to a ballista. She rose her hand, coating it in small blue crystals, tinged with darker energy.

Her hand seemed to warp and bend around the crystals, but it was only an illusion. She grasped the tip of the binder within the ballista, encasing it entirely in Stasis. Satisfied this should do the trick, the Guardian fires the ballista toward Fatalis's throat.

Varik puts his hands on his ears to block out the deafening screech, momentarily startled when that means the hilt of Planetbuster hits his right ear. Still, if he hadn't done this, he'd definitely have lost his focus, and thus charge, alongside his hearing (temporarily).

"That thing is relentless.", he mutters as he, not able to do much yet as he doesn't want to attack and waste his charge, is pretty much forced to stay in place for the time being.

He does start to slowly form a Barrier, knowing that, if the process is slow and gradual, he wouldn't have to give up much, if any energy, and having a Barrier at the ready just in case is probably not a bad idea.

"... Ow."

Reyna should know damn well that projectile weapons are anathema to Sporacles. After taking a second to recollect, he launches back out of the fort using his speed-glitched Seaglide, throwing a diagonal slash at Fatalis with his Thermoblade.

"bloody hell does this thing ever go down"

she said a bit sarcastically

she utilized some fortress debris and her slinger to launch projectiles at fatalis while the others were using proper ranged weapons, hoping it would help

"Im not sure how ueful rock throwing will be but its worth the try i guess"

oddly enough when she said that the number on her body, at her neck went up a few digits

Vs. Fatalis

The various fighters, be they humanoid or draconid, prepared themselves for action as the gate began to fall.

Megan reloaded and swapped out her crystal resonator rounds for alchemical flame rounds, before downing a potion. It was a glowing vial that seemed to be full of a low-viscosity magma, though it cleary was not given that it was contained in a simple alchemy-grade glass vial. As she did, her arms and legs took on an appearance like magma-cracked stone, with flames balzing out from inbetween the gaps. Her eyes glowed with a heated orange, and elemental flames engulfed her weaponry, granting her attacks a potent, firey boost!

"You arent the only one with flames at your beck and call, Fatalis!"

Two shots rang out from Megan's revolver as she aimed for the dragon's skull. From there she opted to keep her options open and stay on the move.

Sofia crouched down and sharpened her glaive, both to maintain the sharpness and to focus her own mind. She had reserved a portion of her psychic power, and once the gate fell, she dashed forward towards the great dragon, peeling off towards the right as she did so to keep the potential carts down if she got focused on.

   "   You aren't going anywhere!   "   

She raised her open hand towards Fatalis and gestured as if she was clutching something — before then crushing it. A moment later, space rippled around the dragon as Sofia unleashed Psychic Crush!

Thranix gave Grimmel an odd look — something about the hunter struck him... just the wrong way, though he couldn't quite get a perfect grasp on what. Once the gate fell, Thranix, being Thranix, charged ahead recklessly...

And tanked a fireball for his troubles. His armor saved him from the worst of it, if only barely, but it did land him flat on his back for far longer than Thranix himself would have liked. He was damaged, and vulnerable — never a spot he wanted to be in.

"Fuuuuuuck..."

Nyr likewise furrowed his brow with a cautious confusion at Grimmel. Once the gate dropped, he too charged out, though he took a different path than his burly, black-scaled friend, and used his clutch-claw to do some sick-ass slide-dodging across the ground in conjunction with some Red Storm coverings on his feet to reduce friction and protect his scaly feet from high-speed abrasions — and increasing his Green Storm charge in the process!

Once he found a good place to come to a stop, he began to channel his mana into a particularly potent spell — and a chaos-charged one, judging by the erratic way in which the motes were arranging themselves around him.

   "This is one hell of a dragon... I'm not sure my attacks are going to be all that effective, but I have to at least try!"

"Hear that? Now get back in here, you useless beast!" Grimmel angrily barks at his Deathgripper as it cautiously circles Fatalis, visibly worried about its intense flames consming everything in the vicinity. "Get that head broken fast or you won't be eating tonight!" He gives another shrill whistle. The Deathgripper's eyes narrow, resembling those of a feral creature, and it falls upon Fatalis in a flurry of savage jaw and poisoned tail attacks, abandoning all sense of self-preservation in a mad rush to follow its master's orders.

The binder shots fly forth, trailing ropes behind them, and stick into Fatalis. The binders then splinter into several ropes bearing weights on the ends that plant into the ground, holding Fatalis down as the Black Dragon struggles violently to break free.

The Deathgripper's strikes leave a noxious purple aura around Fatalis, as it begins taking damage over time from poison.

"Keep focusing head keep focusing head keep focusing head!" Reyna bounces off of Fatalis, then does a powerful plunging stab into a double successive sweep of her Insect Glaive, the last hit applying a marker that causes her Kinsect to rip through it with a storm of little bites if it hits.

Eryn fires her Clutch Claw at Fatalis' head, aiming to latch on and then whack it a few times to get it nice and tenderized again.

Zoro also bounce off Fatalis and goes flying, aiming for a downward strike using all three of his mighty blades!

UI! TORA GARI! Such intense is his energy that the head of a tiger appear around it, providing no impact but showing off the sheer power of the attack!

"Agh, it's in such a perfect position too.", Varik grumbles, hating that he has to stay mostly passive for his plan to work.

He does fire another very weak Whiteshock at Fatalis. He'd go for Sleepstun or Timestop to try more guaranteed status effects, but both of those attacks, even at their weakest, would cost Varik charged energy.

6/13

Varik then notices Megan's state as she attacks Fatalis, suddenly getting an idea, and goes after her.

"Megan! Can you fire a bullet right past my head?"

Tatiana flew upwards after hitting Fatalis in its head. She starts to glow lightly: her attack rose one level!

What I told you, Paty?

Then, she holds her hands together, and starts to dive down: It's a double Meteor Smash!!

Meanwhile, Paty fires a Healing Kiss to Thranix, who was hurt. If hits, he will heal some of his lost health.

Sporacles lands next to Fatalis, only to bounce back up and take another few knife swipes. Seems like someone has been practicing optimizing his Seaglide boosts.

The Guardian pulls herself away from the ballista, creating a ball of stasis energy that encompassed her hand. A low chittering reverb came from her clenched hand, followed by the sounds of shattering crystals.

She released her hand, throwing the ball toward the beast's head. If it connected, it would create a small wall of stasis crystals connected to the beast. Following this up, the Guardian would leap over the ballista, coating her hand entirely in Stasis crystals.

Her armor glowed faintly with stasis energy, gliding through the air at a rapid speed, poised to slam into the beast with a very hard punch.

Vs. Fatalis

Megan noted the claw-slide that Nyr had done a moment ago, and replicated it as she slid over towards Varik, latching onto a portion of skyward-facing melted stone and launching herself across the ground. She came to a halt not too far behind Varik, and took careful aim past his head. Admittedly, she did not trust her aim at most of the time — hence why she only rarely fired from a long range. However, if Varik was willing to trust her aim, then she would as well.

"Alright..." she said, raising her revolver and focusing in on her Second Sight. "Fire in the hole, I suppose? This thing... has a bit of a roar to it when it goes off, as you've heard. In three..."

Megan did a brief countdown to three, and fired a single shot past Varik's head. After this, she rapidly stowed her revolver and pulled out the cannon once again.

Heehoo magma go BRRRRRRR

Sofia needed a moment to recover from her funky wacky psychic crush time, and simply went for the double-swing cleave to Fatalis's horns, before she then attempted to latch on to and soften the Black Dragon's head with her clutch claw.

   "   I'll try to weaken its head, but if my weapon doesn't cut it, I'll need a hand!   "    she called out, just to keep the other up to speed.

Thranix felt his strength return, and decided to quicken that process in his own way. He rose to his feat, and raised his hammer high. His lionhide cloak billowed in the ember-filled wind as air and smoke surged around, tinged with red and gold as his battle aura flared to life!

"Burn, fury of my soul! [Lion's Rage]!"

In a burst of force, Thranix's muscles swelled with supernatural energies as his wrath and hatred boiled to the surface, much like what had last happened when he had used this in the fight against Brachydios. However, he was still present, unlike before when his rage had overtaken him. Thranix was not sure how long this would last, so he aimed to use this unusual occurrence to his advantage — namely, by going in for a double hammer-smash to the skull.

Nyr continued to charge up, hopping back and forth to draw on the green storm some more.

   "I'm gonna have to advise everyone in front of me to clear a path once this is ready — Lightning Hydra is a really temperamental spell!"   

The energies continued to build between his hands, forming an orb of pulsating lightning as the spell-circles formed all around him, slowly filling with glowing runes.

"Guess im here again, maybe youll go down finally"

she drove it into its eye once again, but this time tried to gouge it, or at least a bit of it out

Hub Centralis

The sound of a motorcycle on the approach may catch Lucy's attention.


Also Hub Centralis

Glali Nik is playing some kind of competitive game with Alexa Randey, when an armored figure standing on digitigrade legs suddenly appears behind her.

"Behind you," whispers Alexa.

Nik whips around with a sudden spin kick... and Narktus isn't even moved.

"Uh-oh." The Draconian jumps away and takes a stance. "Who are you?"

"I'm the man who ordered the deaths of you and your friends."

A number of questions race through Nik's head, but only one escapes her lips. "Why are you here?"

"To ask you a question."

"Huh?"

The floating monitor belonging to Pseudo is doing its rounds in the Hub Centralis. It catches Glali's encounter with Narktus, and inside the base, Helryx, currently standing behind the screens, is about to let the floating monitor carry on, but Pilly, who was just passing through the room with some boxes, notices and recognizes Narktus and immediately runs over to Helryx.

"Wait!", she says to Helryx, who turns her head to look at her.

"What is the matter?"

"That's Narktus! And I'm pretty sure one of those girls is one of Nicole's friends."

"I see. Do you suppose Trinuma will do?"

"Huh?", Pilly asks, confused.

"To send out to fight Narktus. ... then again, considering Narktus' feats during the fight against the Cyber Angels-"

"Wait, no, you're misunderstanding. I don't wanna send someone out to fight. ... Not yet anyway.", Pilly says.

"Then what are your intentions?"

"Observing. For now. And if intervention is needed, we'll send out someone strong."

"Very well."

The monitor stops in place, now looking over the scene.

The motorcycle is trailing black smoke like wings behind it, and the being riding it is very clearly not human.

He takes a hand off the handlebars and lifts up the SWORDSPLOSION!!! Hostile intent is obvious.


Narktus looks over Nik, sizing her up.

"Let's propose a hypothetical scenario where you have me at your mercy. You've bested me in single combat, torn down my ideals... we're alone and nobody is coming for either of us. Nobody but us will know what happened."

"Where are you going with this?"

The two lock eyes. There's a building tension in the air.

"What would you do with me?"

Nik falters. "H-huh?"

Grimmel uses Dementia to set up three Wyvernblast mines around Fatalis' head as the monster thrashes in place. Once they're all set, he gestures to his Deathgripper, then the steaming marks on the ground. The dragon vomits a sweeping stream of flaming acid all over the mines, causing all three of them to simultaneously explode on Fatalis.
