Amelia couldn't help but laugh at how funny the situation was.

Though she had just survived combat with her mortal foe, in addition to two randos he had either tricked or hired, and had crossed a sea, heavily injured, she now faced death for what may have been the last time. And death was not glorious combat as she seeked now, nor was it self sacrifice as she had once sought, but freezing to death cold and practically alone, her gear stolen from her presumed dead body.

No, it couldn’t end like this, but there wasn't much Amelia could do..

With great power…you know the rest.

Law arrives in time to see Amelia in dire circumstances. He immediately uses his power, creating a white bright sphere in the palm of his hand and widening it until it engulfs him and the old lady. Room!

Then, he holds his index, thumb and middle finger up. Shambles! Switching Amelia and a grain of sand at his feet, so that she'll end up right besides him, he keeps the ROOM going and kneels to her, checking out her injuries.

Hrm, he could comments on the injuries themselves, but that could wait until his patient was cured of them. An old lady shouldn't be covered in scorch marks, or swimming with broken bones and... bah, it'd take him a day to explain what's wrong with her! I've got you. He says, speaking gruffly but trying to be reassuring as he quickly prepares to deal with the injuries.

He hopped off the ship only to notice that Amelia's strangely much farther than last time after Law said something, the dots connect and Albert-0's momentarily taken aback by his assumption, not seeing something like that in-person before.

"Aw shieeeet haven't seen that in a while- Last time it was d-"

"She just vwoomped suddenly to that man! Is he magnetic?!"

Not listening to the two other voices he continues his run, a big medkit on hand and reaching Amelia and Law soon afterwards. No comment on anything and just giving a quick nod to Law, gesturing they should probably work together to get this over with much quicker for her.

"This...Is bizarre" He quietly comments to himself, the amount of specific injuries this woman sustained is not too dissimilar of a soldier but that raises more questions he'd rather not ask in the moment. He's preparing a bunch of burn ointments, regeneration pastes, casts and other stuff that's relevant to her current injuries in the meanwhile.

Kirrey isn't interested in whatever Solon's issue is. "NOW!"

"Lord Askr, forgive your humble servant for this grievous misuse of your powers!" Ash swings her cowbell staff, letting out an ethereal chime.

A blue light builds in Solon's torso, then expands into a warp dome, intending to teleport his lower body to the opposite side of the battleground... without the rest of him.


FE!Loki smirks. "Quite."

Røkkr Greil is struck by both Enfeeble and Magic Missile, getting afflicted with Slag in the process. He launches a blade beam at Mordecai in retaliation, but he has become vulnerable enough that Emi and Nacho are able to topple him with their basic attacks, which results in Lutemis outright launching him away.

Umbra Calamity

He once again retaliates with an inescapable explosion of darkness, this time centered on Lutemis but fully capable of hitting Nacho, Emi, Anna, Reyna, Corrin and Kana!

His body is once again smashed into an amorphous state by the double Dragon Fang and Mark's Blackflame - especially potent on account of the Røkkr being made out of souls.

He reforms moments later, only to be burned by Nicole's fire breath. He lunges at her with frightening speed for a being of his size, attempting to grab her tail and throw her into the ground!

"Oh f-" Mordecai is sent crashing off his sniping post, landing on his back. He picks himself up with a groan. Also his shield does the reflector-with-a-bonus thing again, hopefully ensuring Greil remains slagged.

Reyna is caught in the Umbra Calamity blast and blown off her feet. Not slowing down for a second, she Wirefalls right back onto them and dashes forward with a spinning assault with her Hunting Horn. As the Bazelreid Rookslayer builds up the explosive Blast status, her hits may accelerate the countdown on Pica-Pica's song.

Mizutsune howls again, flinging a massive bubble at Greil.

The wyvern rider wordlessly to Luin nods once on the ground, his wyvern joining him there. They watch as Lutemis flies back into combat.

The soldiers, too dazed to really do anything (it's honestly a miracle they're alive), just get knocked out by Samsara and Lucina.

Gangrel and Rennac, on the other hand, may suddenly find themselves blindsided by the very reinforcements they were looking for. Stealthy thieves try to ambush them, brandishing some daggers.

With the Pegasus Knights only paying attention to Camilla, Belén manages to shoot one down. This shocks the other distracting Pegasus Knight enough to let Takumi's arrow hit her.

The one wielding the Dragonspear tries to defend against Cynthia's attack, but between her and the physically powerful Beruka, she stands no chance and gets felled.

A new group of long-range tome mages appear, this time Dark Mages wielding Fenrir tomes.

The problem though is that they appear from behind Fort Dawnguard, having set up a surprise attack and making it difficult to reach them without risking getting hit.

Dark clouds form in the skies as Fenrir magic starts to bear down towards Røkkr Greil's enemies, including even the giant beast that's fighting him head-on. The damage won't be enough to kill any of them, but to those already wounded it'll put them in a dangerous position. Depending on how many of the targeted people get hit by Umbra Calamity, this may put them at a disadvantage very quickly.

"I can't say I dislike your optimism at least.", Anna smirks. She then gets ready to strike again-

But Umbra Calamity happens, and this time there's no fancy, well-timed warping going on. Anna gets struck by the devastating attack and takes a good bit of damage from the attack. She's sent hurtling back due to her more nimble physique and attire, and harshly hits the ground, dropping her staff in the process and, while definitely still alive, not immediately getting back up.

Seeing this, a shocked Jake suddenly backs up with his Ballista. What's he planning to do?

Ah! Not again! Kana is swept away by the blast and so's Corrin, though he gets back on his feet quicker since he hadn't been hit before. Kana is floored though, and before Corrin -who's too distracted to notice much about her- can try to help, he gets hit in the back by a bolt and has to fend off the rest with his sword.

As a result, Kana seems poised to be hit by the bolts... until Beruka flies over at the last minute, withstanding them all for her sake. It does result in her having a smoking back and coughing up blood, prompting a reaction out of Corrin and Kana. She remains flying though, and glares off an attempt at a rescue. You've got more important things to do.

Corrin frowns upon seeing her state though. And after seeing Cynthia and Camilla fly over to help her out, he decides to tunnel vision on the mages at the other end of the fort, spreading his wings and flying right at them after using his Super-Senses to identify their location. He lets Shadow Yato fall to the ground in his hurry.

A few more bolts hit him on the way out, and they inflict damage and burns, but he remains pointedly stuck in Tranquil Fury, only slipping a venomous you before diving down at them, with ground-shattering force. He then intends to tear them apart with his bare hands. And I do mean apart. There's no roar of rage or shouts but he attempts to split them in half or more than that with his bare fists. There's no mercy to be had!

Kana has a similar reaction but at the Greil, whom she's getting very tired off. Grabbing Shadow Yato without giving it any other thoughts, she attempts to rush to Greil completely fearlessly. Die! She orders, swinging at his back with a critical hit. While she knows how his move works, she then attempts to land another such blow right afterwards, that's how pissed she is!

Rennac and Gangrel get surprised, but Xander and Ryoma fly in to assist them, attempting to send the thieves flying with a foe-tossing charge.

It's all or nothing! Lucina!

Seeing the direness of the situation, Lucina nods and activates her Hyper Mode, suddenly rushing at Greil with enhanced power and speed. Shining Sword! She yells, attempting to pierce through his torso with a stab, the tip of the sword unleashing a damn beam once it's pierced in. Samsara meanwhile attempts to rush over as well.

The mages and archers attempts to finish off the Pegasi, pouring their firepower and focus unto them.

...

That damn kid... He's got nerves rushing off like that!

C'mon, Whitebro! We're not going to make it!

Oden and Whitebeard are rushing for the Fort, with a good portion Whitebeard's crew rushing after them. They're still a certain distance away though, but at least they're in the Loki's sights.

Loki turns on his heel.

"Well, I suppose I ought to rejoin the fray, lest the others begin to wonder if I might've suffered some unpleasant fate. Unless, of course, there's something else you wish to discuss."

He raises an eyebrow once he notices Oden and Whitebeard in the distance.

   "Anna!"   

Distracted by Anna getting hit dead-on by Umbra Calamity, Nicole is grabbed and summarily hurled to the ground. Snarling in pain, she reverts back to normal and frees Olympus' Wrath from its sheathe before attempting to blast Greil with a potent burst of lightning from point-blank range.

"You really shouldn't have done that, dude!"

Pulling herself to her feet, she hurries over to the downed Anna and kneels down beside her.

"You alright, Anna? C'mon, give me a sign here, sweetheart."

Luin's grin fell as soon as it appeared, being sent flying off of her wyvern that fell like a bag of rocks as a result of the attack.

It hurt like hell and it was a miracle she hadn't died, but the Rider wasn't ready to give in. No, far from it. Instead, she opted for the other option: damage the shit out of this guy.

Lutemis looked too injured to be able to get immediately back up and into the fight, but Luin could tell she could at least give her a hand. As she made a mad dadh for the grounded Rathian, she downed an Armorskin drink, her entire body glowing with an orange aura that hardened her skin, upping her defense drastically. Once she reached the large green wyvern, she continued running past the monster, angling herself just right before turning around and raising her shield as she leapt up into the air.

Bound by kinship, Hunter and Rider seemed to be on the same wavelength, as the Rathian was fully aware of Luin's plan. She fired a fireball from her jaws, directly at Luin.

The raised shield had protected Luin from most of the damage, the Armorskin protecting her from the rest, but as a result of the explosion she had been sent flying as a dangerously fast projectile…

…Directly towards Røkkr.

——

Amelia, seeing somebody had arrived to her help, used the last of her strength to grab Law's collar and, by extension, his attention.

"Watch…" She only got a word of her warning out, before going limp, completely out of it yet alive still. What she was making an attempt to say remained unknown for now, as she was now rendered unconscious.

Belén see the wizards appearing, and she shots them arrows, trying to stop their spells.

For all his anger and all his strength, Solon is on his last legs- whatever is building within him, either it will save him, or it will not.

...And it seems more and more likely that it will not.

Solon takes a hand, and extends it out towards Sandra's all-out final attack- and for it, he loses nearly his entire arm.

Screaming in pain, Solon arranges his thoughts just enough to try and reinforce his body against Emma's final attack, but it is only enough to keep him alive by the tiniest thread. Wracked with wounds that will almost certainly kill him, he spits out a few final words.

   "You... have no idea... who you are dealing with!"   

All around Solon, something begins to change. His bare and depleting aura begins to escalate, turning from a dark gray nearing black to an almost white, shimmering color.

But whatever this change means...

It is cut short.

Solon glances down just in time to see an expanding warp dome engulf a part of him, teleporting his entire lower half away from his top. He has no words left to spit.

Solon plummets towards the ground, and is met with a wretched void courtesy of Hubert, a void that is inches away from-

With what barely remains of his consciousness, Solon activates his final trump card.

.

.

.

.

Time reverts back a small but not inconsiderable distance.

As Sandra matches Solon, he keeps up, but not flawlessly. No, his grit and strength can only take him so far. He is injured, terribly so, and for all his determination... he's weakening steadily.

Surprisingly enough, he seems to realize this as he breaks away from Sandra. He tries a spell to get away... but he has no magic left to do so. There will be no escape for him. The realization makes him mad, irrationally mad, so angry that he roars in frustration and barely notices Kirrey's sword coming at him before it hits. He does not dodge, and for it, takes a hit in his shoulder he could have otherwise easily avoided.

Now even angrier, Solon begins to charge up for something, but is interrupted by Emma-

But instead of time proceeding as it did, Solon retains his composure and does not fall for her trick. Instead, he swats away each of her strikes with relative ease.

   "You've made your last mistakes!"   , Solon shouts, knowing that while he has reversed time the memories of the time he has undone will, in fact, remain.    "Through battle, I have learned and regained aspects of my lineage I thought lost! Watch me, now! I will destroy you all in an instant!"   

Roaring, Solon begins to charge up ki- ki that turns from his signature black to a sparkling, divine white. An aura begins to form around him, an aura almost like mist. The power radiating from him begins to turn overwhelmingly oppressive.

Hubert crosses his arms, stopping the spell he was in the middle of creating at the time Solon reverted to.

"Such bravado. But with nothing backing your words. Divine power is not wielded so callously."

Solon scowls at Hubert, gritting his teeth before returning to a triumphant smile as his transformation begins to complete.

   "You will see! With this power, I will destroy you! Behold, the divine power of angels, our lost heritage, ultra in-"   

Solon twitches.

His eyes widen.

There is silence, for a moment, as his aura almost seems to absorb itself...

...And with barely any fanfare, Solon pops, his body completely and utterly annihilating itself in a relatively contained and low-range explosion that nevertheless contains an absurd amount of densely-packed power.

Hubert nods decisively.

"An utter fool, just like the rest of them. Wouldn't you agree, Lady Edelgard?"

Emerging from the rubble she was buried in at the time Solon reversed to, Edelgard smiles at Hubert.

"It's fairly characteristic, I'd say. He actually made the outcome of the battle less favorable by reversing time."

Yatta!

Throat of The World

Emma is out of commission, a small medic team arriving in haste from a small ship to escort her back to their main base of operations within The Arena.

"We thank you for your assistance!" The nameless medics say towards everyone in the area, before flying off.


Dawngard

Mark gets caught in the umbra calamity, considering his melee range against Greil, and is send hurdling, crashing next to Nick. Quickly knocked out of his blackflame

Nick smugly laughs, not getting hit since he's fighting a distance away

   "FOR SOMEONE WITH SPEED ON THEIR SIDE I SURPRISED YOU GOT HIT!"   

   "GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT CYST MIST!?"   

Mark angrily responds and gets up afterwards, engulfing himself in black fire again.

   "ITS ON THEN DOMNIABITCH!"   

Both of them angrily clash swords, exchanging nigh-lethal blows with one another but both regenerating it off thanks to their forms. After that quick vent of anger against one another they focus back to their eye on the prize.

...

...

The Holy Greil, if you may.

   "Hmph, we're dealing with this shit later after we beat his ass!"   

The two say in unison, before making a nigh-blinding dash towards Greil. Nick's sword going two-handed mode as the default soul color goes fully corrupt red too, a more spirit-oriented mode of his form. Both of them looking like a twin black and red projectile barreling towards Greil's form with both of them ready to slice at full throttle with their large swords once in melee range.


Onyxis

Albert-0 immediately checks her pulse... It's fine.

"...Exhaustion." Is all he mutters out, quickly assessing the situation.

"Now's your chance to shank her with a scalpel to remove that arm" says -1

"No! She's still not okay! We can ask permission once she's awake!" says 1

"Can both of you knock it off?"

Pulling out an antiseptic he immediately applies it on the wounds, patting some off with some tissue, then applying a mix of the regeneration and burn paste onto them before preparing a cast with quick yet efficient pace.

If Law were to directly interfere then he's more than willing to stop whatever he's doing momentarily to let him do his thing.

Master Chef

Mr. Clean O B S E R V E D the various contestant's attempts.

First up, Tonio. While his dishes were not yet clean, they were at least in the sink — and the entire rest of his area had been thoroughly cleaned down. An impressive display, and a very clear choice. Mr. Clean contemplated how to communicate his approval of this beyond a wordless thumbs-up, which he ultimately did by striking the pose from his own logo, mildly-unsettling but well-intentioned smile and all.

Second, he inspected Arnoldo's work. A different approach, but respectably thorough all the same. He nodded in approval, seemingly torn slightly between Tonio's meticulous workspace cleaning, and Arnoldo's comprehensive cleaning of the utensils and dishes, but ultimately felt he had to place Tonio ever so slightly ahead. Even so, he approved, and communicated this with a series of strong nods.

Next up, Sanji — not quite as thorough as the other two, but it was still kind of impressive. Still, the lack of complete cleanliness in anyone one area seemed... mildly displeasing to Mr. Clean, as he furrowed his brow somewhat at the sight — though his face did still communicate that he kind of respected the attempt. He would need to see Grumio's work before giving a placement...

And speaking of Grumio... well, Mr. Clean was not entirely pleased at the... lack of more thorough cleaning. He wouldn't hold it against Grumio personally, but it would absolutely be costing him points here. Mr. Clean had been saddened slightly — though he could see the logic of it being purely practical.

With this, the final ranking from best to worst in this category would be Tonio in first for a +3, Arnoldo at a close second for a +2, Sanji with an impressive attempt but still just third with +1, and Grumio in the unfortunate last place with no bonus numbers. Big sad.

Gordon rubs his hands together. "That's a wrap. Sanji, you are this week's Master Chef."


Kirrey and Múspell notice the time loop, though the other three from the Summoner's team don't.

"That's annoying."

   "That's INFURIATING!"    roars Múspell, preparing to charge Solon only for the foe to explode, sending him reeling.

"Er, Master Kirrey... what about the warp field you requested I create?"

"Don't worry about it."


Røkkr Greil stands firm as Reyna smacks him a bunch. His Wary Fighter doesn't activate when Kana goes for a follow-up this time, indicating they've whittled him down by at least 50% of his maximum vitality. This allows her to strike twice, but it also allows him to retaliate with two attacks in response! He also gives Reyna the same treatment.

Nicole is a bit too fast for him to squeeze out a double, but he does retaliate to her lightning, which seemed less effective than the fire from before.

He then goes skidding back as Lutemis does a Fastball Special with Luin, slamming into him. He prepares to strike back, but is suddenly staggered by Mizutsune's bubble getting him all soapy, needing to use his axe to brace himself, saving the intrepid Rider and Monstie.

He loses his footing as he explodes from the magical song, leaving him wide open for Nick and Mark to slash him as well.

Finally, he is pierced by Lucina's Shining Finger Sword and spews up some nasty-looking soulstuff in place of blood, reeling back, unable to counterattack.

He staggers his way onto one knee, huffing, looking up at his foes. There's a tense silence in the air, and then...

Allied armies have arrived!

Book II Boss - Fire Emblem Heroes

FE!Defense (who is FT!Anna's armored form, lest you forget) swoops in on her mecha-hawk. She fires a storm of feather missiles at Greil, then flies forward and falls out of the Hawk to land feet-first on the Røkkr's back, driving him into the ground as MH!Anna rushes in with a Sword Mode Switch Axe and uses Zero Sum Discharge on his head, clinging to him while pumping elemental power into his body until the pent-up energy explodes and she goes flying off!

Defense quickly kicks herself off of Greil's body to let Domon fly in and drag Greil through the ground with his fists! "Erupting... Burning... FINGAAAAAAAA!" He drives his hand into Greil's torso and lifts him aloft, setting him up in prime position for the others to follow up.

The wyvern and its rider back out of the battlefield for now, not wanting to take any risks.

The frail thieves are easily knocked aside by Xander and Ryoma. There's not much more to it, they pretty much get one-shot. Curse their low HP!

Fenrir is much too powerful to be stopped by mere arrows, even if their attacks are still boosted from the start of the fight.

But the Dark Mages won't remain a problem for very long.

They gasp in fear when a dragon descends on them from above. They try to run as Corrin rampages, but Fenrir is a heavy tome... they don't get far.

Any remaining Pegasi left are shot down.

Three mercenaries now appear near the entrance to Fort Dawnguard, clearly aiming to go for Takumi and Noire...

But they never get the chance, as the door to the fortress flies open with such force that the three are taken out on the spot due to the impact. An enraged Jake rides out on his Ballista, having loaded in a Pachyderm Ballista arrow, the most powerful Ballista arrow type.

He takes aim at Røkkr Greil and fires without hesitation.

Anna, meanwhile, groans as she sits up, holding her head.

"Well, I'm alive. That's a good sign.", she says, wincing but smiling at Nicole. She gets back up, still not at 100%, but ready to attack now that she sees their enemy has seemingly been made vulnerable.

With a swift movement, she grabs her Levin Sword and ties the hilt around her hand with Ironsilk, using the Windmill technique that Reyna taught her before the Fell Rampage to spin it over her head as she closes in and sweeps it into Greil repeatedly for a series of spinning slashes.

If that lands, she'll promptly reel the Levin Sword back into her hand with the Ironsilk, then leap forward with the Hi Ninja Sword and deliver five grounded dual-wielding slashes, the last of which has her bury the Hi Ninja Sword into Greil and jump off of it to come hurtling down with a plunging stab of the Levin Sword, Aether-style.

And then...

"By my sacred blood, take this!"

A powerful gale of wind, almost like a small tornado, then forms around Røkkr Greil before trying to strike him from all sides. That voice, paired with the Excalibur Tome... the Shepherds should know exactly who just came to their aid in this fight.

"This is going to get unsightly!"

And with that voice as well, it's all but confirmed when Selena and Laslow both charge in, attempting to land a cricital hit uppercut slash against Røkkr Greil. Of course, Odin himself is standing on the roof of the castle, because that makes for the most dynamic and dramatic entrance.

"Go down already, you freak!"

As the battle intensifies, a single shape roars ahead of the forest. It's KOZUKI ODEN, and his swords are emitting intense bursts of red-and-black lightning! He swings them into a very potent attack, using the full might of his Haki to try to scar a cross into Greil!

ODEN NITORYU! TOGEN TOTSUKA!

Kana, in the meantime, gets hit by the attack but grits her teeth and goes for a piercing strike with her two swords, unfurling her wings to fly through the enemy.

Raaaah!

Corrin, in full dragon form, also flies back in with the move he used on the giant monster from earlier, wrapping himself in water before dashing down like a meteor.

Just vanish forever!

Lucina roars and flies back, her blade glowing golden as she swings at Greil twice with Aether, the second strike leaving pretty sparkles behind her.

I challenge my fate!

Samsara, glad that Robin is safe, charges in with a critical attack, done as a potent diagonal slash!

Tell Julius that he's failed again!

Rennac kicks

take that

...

... Hm, seems like good medicine. Let's work at it together, it'll be faster.

Law wordlessly go to work, pulling out his own set of tools and using his powers to mend back injuries. He works on his side of her body, since the good doctors seems to be doing well enough for him not to need to intervene.

...

Sanji smiles, but he shakes briefly and there's a bit of snot coming off his nose.

Are you joking? Of course you are the best cook of our world! And don't worry about the money, Harmony got a lot of money for the train! And we have your part too!

Clarilú talks: We'll take them to Onyxis, where I know a corporation that can help them! And you and Francis will go to Rockantasy, where you can jumpstart your restaurant!

Arnoldo couldn't help but crying a bit.

Thank you, guys.

They give a group hug, and then he addresses the other contestants.

Nice played, guys. And congratulations, Sanji. I hope all of you can visit my ristorantino, it will located in Rockantasy island!

...I don't recognize this place! Did you made the wrong turn at Rigel-7?

Don't worry.

But suddenly, a black hole appeared, sucking them...

Nicole blows out a relived sigh when Anna comes to, rising to her feet and sheathing her Zeus-forged blade.

"Let's make sure the same can't be said about that tough SOB!"

Shifting to her Draconic form once again, she soars towards Greil and attempts to pummel him with a relentless flurry of Arcane Magic-enhanced fists and claw swipes, the caps off her onslaught with a close-range blast of Arcane Fire Breath.

A newly-arrived Loki decides to announce his return to the fray by aiming Nightbane at Greil and sending a beam of Dharkon-esque dark energy roaring across the battlefield towards him.

"Do excuse my tardiness, everyone. My investigation proved slightly more fascinating than I had anticipated. But rest assured, your savior is here!"

Out of the sky, shot a blast of wind mixed with scorching flames.

A burning tornado, fired from the heavens, would find it's way headed directly towards Røkkr, the sender anonymous.

Or, at least, until the attack was followed up by a massive, horned and spiky dragon falling from the clouds, wreathed in flames with a paw raised. When it came near enough, it brought this claw down on the large enemy, it's reasons and purposes for being here and why it was targeting Røkkr specifically unknown for the time being.

"Oh, not this asshole again." Luin sighed, stretching her injured back as she got to her feet. At this point she was more annoyed than anything-It seemed she may soon need a reminder of what she had to fear from the Annihilation Nergigante.

——

The injured woman's injuries seemed as if they were now treated about as best as they would be, leaving a good many scars but clearing her of any immediate danger.

Well, any immediate danger related to those injuries, that was. As, under the night sky, the snowfields in the distance stirred, something(s?) slinking through it, camouflaged.

With great power…you know the rest.

Onyxis

"mhm."

Albert-0 prepares the bandages and then places them on Amelia's wounds, the compounds securing in place. This makes him too focused on her to really focus on anything in the distance. Same goes for the other Alberts in his head too, -1 discussing things to 1 that no child should ever be hearing regardless of context or background.


Dawngard

Artemis arrives from the fort, casually carrying a ballista around as if it were a crossbow.

"The fresh scent of a battlefield, reaaaally stinky, but ripe for the hunt!... Oheyo it's those two!"

The duo turns to her, utterly confused why she arrived out of nowhere.

   "What the hell is she doing here?!"   

The dots align for her, considering she's been acquainted with the two before. She sets her eyes on Greil too afterwards.

"OI 'S YOU TWO, CAN BOTH OF YA GET OUTTA THE WAY I'M BOUTTA DO SOMETHIN'"

She aims the ballista as gigantic arrows come out of thin air to load it rapid firing and throwing the ballista itself towards Greil. Drawing her actual bow and cocking it back at full, a single arrow coming from it. It glows a godly green as it fires straight towards Greil's noggin, cleanly piercing the other stuff she shot thanks to her accuracy.

Nick and Mark don't listen to her because of their reaction speed but back off anyway, both preparing a synergized attack.

Mark extending his chains backwards to its maximum length.

   "You know the plan don't'cha?"   

   "You're free to eat the shit that comes out of my gut after."   

   "Guess that's a yes then, cockwad."   

A massive arm that is under Nick's command comes down from the ground, grabbing Mark like a stick as it violently flails him around, using Mark himself as the whip against Greil. Both enjoying themselves in the heat of battle as much as they'd hate to admit it to eachother.

   "I'm gonna fucking puke-"   

After that quick barrage of whips, the arm throws Mark headfirst to Greil like a javelin, the chains crashing at full recoil against the man's torso alongside Mark himself.

All their attacks going in tandem to the others.

Polyphemus's visor flashes repeatedly, as if with excitement, as they take the Medigun.    "That should be perfectly sufficient. I will take my leave, as I have obligations elsewhere, but your great service to humanity on this day shall not be forgotten."

With Solon defeated, Edelgard gives her allies a smile, and prepares to say something uplifting...

...And then immediately falls to the floor. Hubert catches her- not that such a thing is particularly necessary. She isn't unconscious, but she is certainly in no place to talk. Despite some light protesting, Hubert teleports the both of them away, back to their home reality.


Shambhala Central Extradimensional Complex, Subsection LAB

In terms of relative success of the mission, he could say that things had gone south. When Solon wakes up in the body of one of his many identical clones, he can scarcely believe it. Not only had his own heritage backfired, but he had lost to that miserable ape and her- what even were those allies? How could such a thing even happen?

Solon clutches the corner of a table. Despite being made of a metal far more durable than any worldly material, it cracks under his grip. His lab is the same as the last time he saw it- but he can only hide here for so long.

Thales will know about his failure. How he had lost his strongest, most thoroughly prepared body in uncountable millenia- fighting against what amounted a bunch of stupid monkeys!

He has no choice, now.

Swallowing what little pride remains, Solon arranges a teleport to Thales's chamber.


Shambhala Central Extradimensional Complex, Primary Control

And so he arrives.

Rather, he appears, instant transportation with little to tell him it was coming. The speed at which Thales had answered his call is... telling.

The room he finds himself in is, in a word, massive. Large enough that light takes hours to find its corners, large enough that only a star, plucked from its home reality, could possibly light it all.

...Or, not. For with their technology, far more than simply that could be possible. Far more indeed. No, the shining blue star resting far above them was mere decoration for this most elevated of places.

Far more extravagant than the home of the angels- then the grave of the once-king.

The pathways stretching away from this place at the very center of a room so grand are uncountable- but Solon finds himself in that center.

At the throne of Shambhala. And before him, its leader.

Thales

Around him is what can only be described as an angelic halo- an aura of light that seems to shroud him entirely, turning his presence into something almost... absolute. It is not an oppressive light, nor is it close to blinding, but something about it simply is, the essence of the being that calls itself "Thales". A presence unlike any other.

Solon can only bow before such a presence.

   "I am sorry- my failures are evident, but I have every bit of faith I can remedy these issues! The secrets of our blood grow closer every day, I can feel it!"   

Thales stares at him in silence, for a moment.

Slowly, he rises from his chair. A single, quiet movement. Barely lifting a finger.

His expression remains... neutral.

   "You are lucky."   , he says, slowly walking towards the bowing Solon.

   "W-what?"   

Thales stops.    "You nearly killed Edelgard. You are lucky, then, that she was in no danger. If she had been, we would not be speaking."   

Solon looks up at Thales and scrambles to his feet, bowing a few times quickly for good measure.    "Yes! Of course! I knew that all along!"   

Thales turns away, slightly.

   "You are transparent. I already know you have no intention to pursue our goals at the moment. So, change that. Be more..."   

Thales tilts his head, ever so slightly.    "...Considerate. We all have a part to play. Those that do not, well. They have no place. You know this."   

Solon chuckles.    "Y-yes, of course, Thales. I will do as I am needed!"   

Thales places his gaze firmly on Solon, facing him again.

   "That you will. I believe you acquired some intriguing battle data. That may be an avenue to some results, don't you think?"   

Solon steps away.    "Yes, I will- I mean, yes! Of course it is! We may be mere months away from the breakthrough we need! Divinity may at last be ours!"   

Solon clenches his fist triumphantly.

Thales does not react. Not at all.

He waves his hand, and Solon is teleported back to his lab.

Quickly, the mage finds a place to lean against. He is not used to this new body, and needs ample time to catch his breath.

The moment that he does, he begins to work. And this time, it isn't for himself.

Sandra is left silent, smiling, waving. She's too exhausted to speak out, even with time being unwound.

She waits at the end of all.

Yo did he just rewind time? After speaking out to no one in particular, she teleports back home to lick her wounds.

...

Law doesn't take his eyes off Amelia, but he keeps them beneath his fluffy cap for a reason.

We'll, it was the Classical age, not the clean age.

Grumio gives Sanji a SUPPORTIVE GESTURE. Congratulations! He's not particularly broken up. The best chef title was something given to him by happenstance, not something he desperately sought, after all.

MasterChef

The chefs receive a cash prize. Sanji, obviously, gets the most money, because he won, but everyone gets something.

"It was a good showing by all." Tonio puts a hand over his chest and bows, then takes his money and leaves.


Røkkr Siege

One thing after another slams, smashes, scorches, slashes, stabs Greil. When it's all over, his body is splitting in various parts like it's going to burst open. He looks at his foes with a smile.

   "It... was a worthy fight."   

And then he explodes into soul-fire.

Reyna wipes her sweat away. "Phew..."

Mordecai just holsters his guns and sighs.

Mizutsune howls victoriously.

A portal opens up and Kirrey emerges, surveying the destruction all around him. "What the FUCK did I miss?!"

Reyna briefly stops panting to answer, "A Røkkr."

"... Oh. Ohhhhhhhhh. That explains it."

Bridge Between Skyrim and Hub Centralis

Myo is vibing on the side of the bridge with a bowl of takeout from Min Min's noodle house. Why she got it from the opposite side of Hub Centralis and brought it all the way over here is not a question that needs answering.

A purple-haired woman smartly dressed in a gray business suit and designer sunglasses approaches Myo. Participants in the recent assault on the G.E.M. base would have recognized her as the one known solely as "Blade", Polyphemus's top enforcer, although this time she seems to have traded her katana for a briefcase.

Myo's companion gives off an impressed whistle, his futuristic armor flowing with the colors of the rainbow. "Well well, check this one out," he says with a confident grin. "My 'we're about to make a shitload of money' sense is tingling."
