O-Oh? Huh... He coughs, sounding more confused than alarmed about the dramatic reveal.

What's a demon? Is it like... a fiend? Fiends tends to be scary. And, with all due respect... Well regardless you don't seems evil, so I don't mind.

You can sense my power? He asks, sounding intrigued.

"Another stardust minefield? Huh... I thought it was gonna be something a helluva lot worse."

Nicole flourishes Olympus' Wrath... before realizing that she was moving a lot more slowly than normal. She lets out an exasperated groan.

"...Are you friggin' kidding me? Next, there's gonna be stardust that lets him pull a Dio and just straight-up stop time."

Then she gets hit by the flames, prompting her to look down at her hand.

"Oh, now this brings back memories."

Once the lasers start coming, she retaliates by firing a fire-fused Arcane Beam in a sweeping arc, aiming to hit both End Narktus and as many of the lasers as she possibly can. That said, the ones that bypass her defenses manage to connect and send her sprawling.

"In my world, a fiend is an exceptionally powerful demon."

Refia shifts into her true form.

   "I wouldn't call myself a fiend... although maybe I'm getting there. I can't really tell. All my power was passed down to me from my mother."   

She sighs.    "Speaking of my family..."   

Corrin will get the sense that some bad news is coming.

Well he could get the feeling, but Corrin's too busy blushing and closing his eyes to hear her. He even cover his closed eyes with his hands.

C-could you cover yourself up please? I'm... i'm not used to women in little clothing and my better half would probably be worried if she saw the scene.

Loli tries to avoid the fire-imbued stardust... But they are slowed down.

NOOOOOOOO! Pipo screams in slo-mo.

...but the fear ended when they discovered their new fire powers! And somehow, their clothes changed too. Pipo's aviator gear changes from brown and beige to Burgundy. Clarilú's dress changes from yellow to red, and so does her hair. And the triplets' clothes, sunglasses and hair becomes red. Loli changed her color to red, and loses her flying-type to become fire-type. She still keeps her 4x weakness to rock and her 4x resistance to grass tho. The butterflies also won fire powers, but they don't know it yet.

Cool! Cheers Emi behind Roco's shell.

They decides to try their new powers.

Loli! Heat wave!

The triplets dropped from Loli, and they does a Triple Blazing Dive Kick to Narktus' head!

Those attacks leave them open to Narktus' laser blasts. The rest of the group are still hiding behind Roco's shell, who is a bit hurt by the blasts, since Protect isn't in effect anymore.

   "I came here because I need training. There's an angel I'm friends with who got possessed by an incubus - my eldest brother. I beat him and saved her, but my mother, Lilith, was the one who ordered him to do it, so..."   

She looks away.    "I need to defeat my unstoppably powerful demon-lord mother in combat, and I'm not nearly strong enough. A man named Defense guided me here - he said it was a place of constant action, good for me to get experience, but to be honest, I'm at my wits' end."

Oh hm, nevermind, it's different... Hmm, well... Corrin starts to ponder before speaking out.

... Hmmmm, well, maybe I could help you train? I'm not sure I'm too strong here compared to some others but I can't just not do anything to help you!

Mu gave Roco a quick nod to express his gratitude for healing his wounds. However, he felt a little dread as his movements are slowed down forcibly by the stardust, but before he could retaliate, he was granted a newfound fire power. 'Hm, Aiolia and Milo would've enjoyed this.'

The Saint stared at End Narktus and nodded in gratitude. While it's somewhat foolish to grant your enemies a benefit, I appreciate this nonetheless.

Though, Mu must survive the oncoming laser attack if he wants to make use of his new fire ability. Even with slowed movement, the Saint is able to set up a psychic barrier to block the laser attack, protecting Roco and the group once again.

If this keeps up, Mu is eventually going to be exhausted, which is why he immediately started focusing his Cosmos and prepared a new attack.

Mu circulated his Cosmos through his entire body, an action that summoned more of his own stardust around him to avoid the slowdown effect, at the cost of being stuck in his position. Then, Mu slammed his hand against the ground as he sent out a telepathic message to all his teammates.

Move away for your own safety.

Then, the ground shook as a massive burst of flame-enhanced Cosmos energy erupted from the ground beneath End Narktus.

Starlight Incineration!

The energy bursts upward into a pillar, intending to completely cover and eat away at End Narktus' armor, and eventually his body.

   "You're strong enough to beat me, easily. I know this."   

Refia clenches her fists.    "Which means I just have to keep trying until I win. That's how training works, right?"

Hmmm, that's how I did my training. But you need to be careful with the effort, you know? Your body needs time to rest, you can't just bruise it up into getting stronger. He advises.

But I can... try to teach you something and maybe make you stronger if you want! it's just that we'll take breaks, see? I'll go get food and water's plenty.

Corrin shrugs, a bit disappointed he didn't grab something to eat, and enter a bare-handed stance, making a quick "c'mon gesture" to lure her in.

He pointedly doesn't touch his sword.

Red-and-black fire swirls up around Refia.

A Reluctant Battler (Liberation of Gracemeria - "Dance with the Moonlight" Remix)

She steps back and starts to throw a punch, possibly intending to project its force with her magic... until she teleports right in front of Corrin mid-swing to try and land the hit.

Corrin is put off guard by the move, being that teleportation isn't common at all back "home", and get hit in the face, with his eyes comically bulging out briefly.

However, he doesn't let that faze him and attempts to grab her arm while he's sent reeling from the blow. Then, while he still has his earlier momentum, he aims to flip her off his shoulder and into the ground!

Omega

Auri could 'feel' the slowdown, in a sense — her sensory systems told her that local spacetime was, in some capacity, jank — but that didnt mean that she could do much about it. From her perspective, End Narktus was just... existing so much faster... not on a cosmic scale, but enough to notice.

She failed to dodge the flames — and both she and Fenrir found themselves pleasantly surprised by the boon of flames. Her Einherjar Shadow took on a smouldering appearance, like a still-burning cloud of ashes, and less like pure shadows, as the Shadow lifted Auri and attempted to toss her towards Narktus, as she began to spin — somewhat rapidly, but still somewhat slower due to Narktus's powers. Her shadow went kaput, and the lasers proceeded to blast off a fair few bits of her armor — including most of her helmet, which shattered away to reveal a surprising amount of stark-white... hair? Or something similar. How was she keeping that all in place...?

KiriK

   "Stardust, for me, represents creation. It represents existence. It can do anything I want it to."   

End Narktus completely vanishes into the stardust, seemingly becoming one with the sparkles to avoid his foes' attacks.

He materializes behind the triplets, attempting to blow them away with erupting wind, then whirls around and, with a sweep of his hand, sends rocks hurtling at the other enemies.

With this momentary distraction, he warps towards Auri in stuttering 'phases', making himself harder to intercept, and throws a punch.

Stardust gathers around his fist as he swings. Auri can feel a primordial 'echo' emanating from it. In that moment, she will be filled with exactly the same awe and terror as she would feel if she were staring down the Big Bang.

And if it hits her, the ensuing explosion will send her flying completely out of visual range of the fight, showing that at least End Narktus is putting more focus on launching power than destructive power and giving her a chance to survive.


Refia gets flipped and slammed down. She quickly rolls onto her feet and steps away from Corrin, holding a defensive stance.

Corrin immediately goes on the offensive with a series of quick straight punches, aiming to hit Refia in the chest or stomach. There's not much fanciness to it, but he count on his strength and speed to help out. That, and while his strikes aren't too complex, he delivers them effectively to attack at a fast pace!

Instead of simply dodging, Mu raised himself and smashed the two into two pieces, which flew away from him and the group behind him. Right now, Mu is starting to feel tired from dishing out heavy attacks and constantly protecting his teammates, which is why he took a breather. However, Mu did not take his eyes off End Narktus, and wished Auri good luck against her foe.

Vs. End Narktus

The Triplets went hurled to the other allies by the wind, and the rocks hurts heavily everyone else, specially Loli, which thanks to her crippling weakness to rock attacks, fell down with Pipo and Clarilú. Not even Roco and its guardees could avoid the rock slide...

Galacta is taken hilariously off guard by an attack as simple as 'yeet rocc' and is dashed against the ground.

"Ugh."

Why is she still here? No one has died yet. This is so much more trouble than it could be worth at this point.

... But she's not a quitter, not really. Bleh.

"So, your imagination is literally the only limit this crazy-ass stardust has. Never a Green Lantern around when you need one..."

Cracking her neck, Nicole proceeds to begin punching and kicking rocks away, in addition to slicing the odd one I half with her Zeus-forged blade.

Auri did indeed go flying...

A very long way, into the dark. She expected find herself quite dead when she opened her eyes, but... she could still see the fight, flickering like a tiny star in the distance. Was it below her? Above? In front? It was hard to say — that blow had knocked her sense of balance and direction out of wack, along with destroying more of her armor from the sheer force.

She activated her thrusters, halting her momentum slowly, and called out to the precursors.

"Make... make me an instrument of your descending light...!" she managed to cough out. Another eidolon formed around her, as she transmuted into a beam that slammed back into the battlefield — but expended her divine energy for a while. She would not be able to pull that off again without resting...

But she did not need to. Panels began to raise on her exposed dermal armor, revealing vents of some variety. The energy-lines on her body lit up with a solar-orange light, and her eyes — both the one original and the many-lensed eyepatch-esque replacer — glowed with a stunning purple, though perhaps it was merely stunning because of all the warm colors.

Her synthetic muscles bulked up, as shadows from Fenrir invigorated her, and she hefted her axe with a mighty shoute!

Fervor Spike Protocol: ONLINE

With her enhanced strength and speed, she charged towards End Narktus, attempting to deliver a three-swing, shadow-and-flame filled combo that concluded with a double-handed overhead smash!

KiriK

End Narktus watches Auri activate Fervor Spike, and her subsequent strikes smack him around, managing to scar his armor!

   "At long last... everyone seems to be going all-out."   

End Narktus grins, and spreads his arms wide.    "It may not have been the longest of battles, but I hope it most certainly was a learning experience for all."   

He clenches his fists and draws his hands together, as the stardust field starts to contract around him. As it does, the people who were once within it are returned to normal speed.

   "Let's make this a rousing finale."   

He pulls his hands back like he's doing a Kamehameha or something.


Refia gets pummeled by Corrin's onslaught. She even spits up some saliva at some point. It seems she wasn't kidding that he definitely could beat her.

She falls onto her rear, but springs back up with a rising kick, using hellfire to launch herself foot-first at him!

Corrin is surprised by her swiftness, and wince at her pain, but nevertheless honor her wish by not holding back. He take two steps to the side and dodge the blow sent his way!

Then, deciding to strike while the iron is hot, he sprout his tail and attempts to use it to smack into Refia's side! The tail seems to almost be a part of the armor moreso than Corrin, extending out of its plates without causing it any damage, and rippling back into it once its done. Regardless of the success of the tail, Corrin goes back to normal and head to punch Refia... but doesn't punch once he's right in front of her: Instead, he stop short, leap to her left side with much agility, and attempts to hit her with an elbow blow!

"Yeah. I learned that, at least for me, fighting Narktus is gonna be harder in more ways than one..."

Nicole points Olympus' Wrath at End!Narktus, readying herself for whatever final attack he might have planned.
