Through some form of insight, or rather sheer brutality, the mad beast take some more strikes and S S S S S SLAM its legs down on the floor, creating a very intense shockwave that could dispel Leesarix's clones and hit the real one, with so much force that even he will be dazed.

If this works, then the monster immediately ram into him, returning the favor apparently, with more power and speed to it than a freaking bullet train! It'll try to ram him through several rocks before attempting to end its course by slamming him deep into a rock. However, not being done with such attacks yet, the monster also then immediately try to blast him with the mouth beam from earlier, at point blank range, and then attempts to also badly slash him up with its right arm!

If the fails, the beast slams the ground several times over, each stomp triggering several small shockwave, in a bid to overwhelm Leesarix. If it succeeds, somehow, it immediately try out the ram and later attacks.

Leesarix is tossed around by the monster, receiving noticeable damage to his armor. When it stops, he picks himself up, leaps towards it, and attempts to grab it by the head and DDT it into the ground, tapping into Terlette's signature body-alteration magic to grant himself the strength to do so.

He succeeds in D D Ting it (and somewhere far away a Hunter sneezes) but it just roar and try to slam into him with a lateral and clumsy, if fast, sideway swipe of its body.

The sword on its back starts to get knocked loose...

Leesarix can't switch elements fast enough and gets knocked away.

He calls upon his namesake element - Aele, or 'Gravity', turning his eyes as black as the void as he attempts to rip the monster apart with a gravity well. It tears up the dirt, rock, and ancient debris, creating a Chibaku Tensei-esque sphere.

"Alright. I'm probably gonna rest up, maybe take a shower first," Nicole says, following Pilly to the door. "Hey, come find me once you're done, alright? I wouldn't mind sharing a few stories about what I've been up to here or back in my world."

She smirks in a good-natured manner.

"Believe it or not, when it comes to alternate versions of people I know, none of the ones I've met here were my first rodeo."


"Well, I didn't bring it up simply because I was bored, if that's what you're wondering. You see, Thor and I recently learned about a prophecy concerning us," Loki replies, walking with Pseudo. "It was incredibly vague and difficult to decipher, but I think we understand its general meaning. Supposedly, he and I are fated to come into contact with the remainder of Navitus' artifacts, as is this horned figure whose identity currently remains a mystery."


Upon entering the cafeteria, Thor greets Norm with a grin.

"Ah, hello there, Norm! Before you ask, Linda and I just finished training together," he says. "Worry not, things didn't get too intense, nor did her mechanical arm sustain any damage."

He walks over to the closest table, puts Linda down on a chair, and takes a seat beside her.

The monster is caught in the effect and begins to succumb to the intense gravity, its massive body being slowly overtaken by it. It can't do anything but neighs in rage, aware of its dire fate...

Until the excess gravity finally knock the sword loose and somehow make it slide next to him, at which point, the glaive, massive yet of unremarkable design, becomes a gigantic green sword, easily larger and wider than its previous form, with a glowing green aura inside of the blade.

"Aah, you were at my side, all along. It speaks. The gravity that was previously crushing it now seemingly become light as a breeze, and it, in fact, stand up. It's still a twisted abomination, but there's a graceful sapience in how it grasp its sword and hold it up.

My true mentor...

My guiding moonlight... And as he says it, Ludwig grasp the sword's hilt... and slash at the sphere, not even in a strenuous manner, and yet it destroys Leesarix's spell and split it in half almost casually. To his horror, he may also notice that the Holy Moonlight Sword emits a significant amount of Holy energy. So significant that while he won't die from it in one hit, it'd still be enough to severely fuck him up if it hit. The darkness even physically recoil when just near the blade!

And Ludwig is all too happy to attack, slicing the air some more to send some holy crescent-shaped projectiles at him. Regardless of their success, Ludwig then moves over to hit Leesarix and try to cut him open with a series of skillful blows, moving at lighting speed to dish out the pain!

"That sounds fun! I'll do that.", she happily says, after which she leaves the room.

"Byeeeee!", she calls back to Nicole as she leaves, eager to get her chores done now.

Pseudo looks serious now.

"Loki, I may not be in the best of states right now, but do not hesitate to inform me if you learn more about this. We can not allow the other two items to do the same kind of damage as the Staff did."

"I'd heard about the training bit from a colleague, and I'm glad neither of you overdid it, even if that shield looks pretty busted. But I'm mostly surprised about Linda allowing you to carry her like that. Usually she outright even refuses being carried or even helped to walk when she's badly wounded."

"What can I say, his arms are too comfortable to resist. But you don't need to trust me on my word, why don't you try letting him carry you?", Linda says, smirking.

"No thanks. I'd like to retain my masculinity.", he says, sipping from his drink.

"You have masculinity?", Linda teases.

"Ha ha.", Norm responds, deadpan, causing Linda to chuckle. She's then put down on her chair.

"First class service.", she says to Thor. Norm looks back at them.

"Kinda weird seeing you get along so well. Not that it's bad, it's just unexpected."


That sword...

Killer Bat narrows his eyes in slight concern at the properties of Ludwig's sword. But he would still give his host the benefit of the doubt for now. He does get ready to act if need be though, taking the situation more seriously now.

   "... Well, perhaps this wasn't a waste of time after all."   

Leesarix may be a perversion of all that is just, but he still has enough honor to regard a fellow warrior. He gracefully draws his own sword and holds it low to the ground.

When Ludwig attacks, he parries or blocks as best he can, then responds with a singular brutal cleave, ironically more bestial in his motions than Ludwig.

Ludwig answers in kind with a massive downward cleave, aiming to stop the swing by slamming its sword on top of Leesarix's.

While obviously less versatile than Leesarix, it seems to make up for it with greater raw power. At the very least, it'll be a struggle to get the blade out of Ludwig's. Especially because he grasp the handle of his sword and, after a few seconds of charging up, unleash a devastating holy attack. The area of effect of it reaches pretty widely all around at least!

Leesarix holds his ground against the clash. He winces and buckles under the holy attack, but responds by tapping into his own holy power, granted by the ancestry of angels - causing himself visible pain to do so - and creating a forcefield around himself with White Magic.

   "That's better."   

He slams a hand into the ground, creating an eruption of dirt and rock around Ludwig.

"See ya in a bit, kid!"

Nicole heads off in the opposite direction, planning to find both the showers and a spare room to use for her siesta.


Loki nods to Pseudo.

"Of course. As you can probably imagine, Thor and I aren't especially eager for a repeat of what happened with the Staff," he replies. "Once we've learned more about these artifacts and their maker from the Guardians, we'll share that information with you as soon as possible."


Thor flashes a smile at Linda.

"I'm pleased to hear it, Lady Linda. Perhaps we should consider having a more intense sparring match sometime, if only so I'll have an even greater reason to carry you."

His gaze then flickers to Norm.

"I don't know what to tell you, my friend. Maybe it's because we have more in common with each other than we initially thought," he says. "Not to mention that she's a skilled and cunning warrior, as well as quite the charmer."

"Thank you.", Pseudo says.

"How did you learn about the prophecy, actually? Depending on how, we may be able to gain more information."

Norm immediately starts shaking his head when Thor suggests a more intense sparring match, but Linda seems to like the idea.

"Maybe once everything's looking better back home, I could come find you and take you up on that.", she says.

Norm quickly stops shaking his head when Linda looks at him alongside Thor, listening to the latter talk.

"Well, if you're both happy with your friendship, then I'm not gonna complain. It'll do Linda some good.", he says to them as he finishes his drink.

"Oh, dear... well, do you remember that strange-looking bird who arrived following the Culmination's destruction? The one capable of touching the Staff, and is most likely some kind of strange god in disguise," Loki replies. "Thor and the Maximoff lad encountered it at the site of that battle, apparently looking for remains of the Cyber Angel fortress."

He leans against a nearby wall.

"When approached, it informed them of the prophecy... through a series of drawings. And it either wouldn't or couldn't explain the meaning behind them. All we know for certain is that the horned being supposedly isn't Mara, it involves Navitus' artifacts, and as I said before, its general meaning."

The half-Jotun trickster sighs in annoyance.

"Out of everyone who could have delivered such important news, would it have been too much to ask that the Odin-damned messenger be capable of bloody speech?"


Thor looks briefly surprised when Linda actually shows interest in a more intense sparring match.

"Oh? You honestly wouldn't mind an intenser training session? Then you have yourself a deal," he says. "And afterwards, regardless of whether not we might need new limbs, you and your colleagues could join me for a celebratory feast on Asgard."

He glances at Norm.

"Much appreciated, Norm. To think, Lucas seeking out Ridley, of all events, is what led to me actually getting to know this remarkable woman."

"... ah. I see how that would be complicated to work with. Then it's doubtful that we'll be able to learn anything from it.", Pseudo says.

"Let us hope that the bird is not trying to warn us of a bad omen. If it is, I hope that, at the very least, those artifacts won't become a problem until we've dealt with the most prominent threats in this place."

He shakes his head.

"Ah... I suppose there is not much use in worrying about it now. We should keep our eyes open for any suspicious artifacts and keep each other informed of any findings. Now though, I will return to my chamber. Do you know the way back up from here, or should I bring you first?"

"Sounds good to me!", Linda says. Norm looks very surprised.

"You want the rest of us to come along too? Don't get me wrong, it'd be an honor to get to go to a god world like that, but I'm surprised you're not just inviting Linda."

"Might I suggest bringing this prophecy up with Shadow the next time you see him? He has quite a vested interest in dealing with Navitus, and actually spoke with the bird when the dust finally settled," Loki suggests. "Perhaps he might be able to fully decipher things for us, or at the very least, identify the unknown third party Thor and I might come into conflict with."

She taps the pommel of his sword, Nightbane.

"And indeed, it would be wonderful if the Cabal, at least, was destroyed before the artifacts became a serious issue. However, I would prefer to be prepared if that doesn't turn out to be the case."

Then he shrugs.

"But I think we've both had our fair share of speculating, Pseudo. Let's head back up before the others start to wonder if we're dead," he says, smirking.


"I've only had the briefest of glimpses at your realm, yet I can already tell that it's suffered through what can best be described as Ragnarok," Thor says to Norm. "It only seems fair that your people be allowed a proper celebration once the damage has been fully repaired. And should you require any aid from Asgard, you need only ask, and I'll see if I can't persuade my father to send workers or resources."

Leaning back in his chair, he shifts his gaze to Linda.

"In the meantime, good Lady Linda, when do you think we'll be able to meet for our next round of drinks?"

"That sounds like a good idea. I will keep it in mind for the next time I see him."

He then glances aside.

"Ah... I meant my room down here. I'm was only going up when you saw me to check if Pilly had found a sparring partner, remember? That is why I asked if you know the way back up from here."

He turns his head to look into the hallway.

"In case you do not, you should go right after two corridors, then walk three more and you'll find the door to the stairs to your left."

He looks back at Loki.

"... thank you for coming to visit. It helped. Hopefully I will see you again soon."

He then walks away, going into a different direction because said room is in a different corridor than the ones Loki'll have to go through.

"I... thank you. That would be an immense help for all of us.", Norm says, looking grateful. "We'll tell the boss about your offer for sure."

"You're a good guy, Thor. If we do need your help and you can convince your father, G.E.M. would definitely owe you one.", Linda says.

"As for our drinking round, it'll depend on how fast we get an answer from higher up to check out that base. Sometime once we've settled in there should work. But forget drinking for now, I'm up for some eating instead!"

She then looks at the menu. Norm, as he gets up to leave (having already eaten), nods to Thor, still looking grateful.

"Thanks, man. Your offer means a lot to us. A lot of people we wouldn't be able to help in time wouldn't have to worry anymore."

"Likewise."

After seeing Pseudo off, Loki turns on his heel and begins making his way back to the base's upper levels.


Thor nods to Norm, offering him a smile.

"You're welcome, my friend. When Loki and I see Father again, the first thing I intend to do is convince him to lend your people Asgardian aid. With any luck, G.E.M will soon have everything they could possibly need to restore their world."

Turning back to Linda, he gives her a teasing smirk.

"Well, all the more reason to hope her reply comes sooner rather than later," he says. "But until such time, let's enjoy that fresh meal!"

With that, he looks to the menu as well.

Ludwig is caught by the move, but maintains his calm and shrugs off the damage and pain, attempting to instead slam his sword on top of Leesarix, before moving in to try to hit him with a whole bunch of slashes. They're slower than his previous attacks as a mad beast, but are stronger, more skillful and the holy element of the sword is enough to be a threat!

Leesarix clashes blow-for-blow. He attempts to stab Ludwig and then deliver a mighty kick directly to the wound left behind. If the stab misses, he instead converts into an upwards slash, rising into the air as he does so.

Ludwig is stabbed and kicked but shrugs off the pain, instead attempting to slam his sword on top of Leesarix. Energy build up around it for one second before it explodes in a wide green aura around the sword, perhaps damaging Leesarix if he dodge the first blow but is careless with the rest.

Ludwig proceed to still go on the offensive, his movements getting slowly better and better with each swing. And that means that he start to properly use the massive strength he's packing! More and more, as he swing his blade about, more projectiles shoot out of it, creating an intense Beam Spam that could very well cause troubles for Leesarix.

Leesarix has the size disadvantage, and one clean hit leaves him prone to several more. His arm suddenly bulges with muscles and veins as he does a leaping claw swipe, twisting his whole body to convert it into a spin slash.

Ludwig is greatly damaged and stunned further, though he quickly recovers half-way through and tries to ram into Leesarix, to push him away or in an attempt to have an evasive maneuver.

Afterwards though, he swings back into the action, making several mad dashes through the arena. However, he's actually being accurate enough, and try to cleave Leesarix with his sword in between charges, swinging at a wide angle everytime his charge miss.
