Selena looks on with confusion when Røkkr Greil smiles before death.

"Well, I... did not expect this guy to be so accepting of it."

"What... was he?", Laslow wonders before looking around, trying to see if their allies are alright, with Selena doing the same right after. Of course Noire, Lucina, Camilla, Beruka and Xander are their biggest priorities, but they still hope that everyone is alright.

"... wait, it was aching blood, not... agh, I screwed up my entrance line! ... maybe they didn't notice.", Odin groans in overdramatic frustration as he starts making his way down the stairs. He can't just jump off of the roof after all.

Jake, meanwhile, rushes over towards Anna with his Ballista as she falls down on the ground. She's alright enough, but clearly exhausted.

"Are you alright!?", Jake asks once near her, hopping off of the Ballista and helping her up. She giggles a little.

"Don't worry about me, darling. I'll live. But I might have to take to bed for a day or two."

She then looks at the spot that Røkkr Greil used to be in.

"To think they actually existed after all..."

The last wyvern rider is still standing around some distance away, clearly looking awkward and trying to decide whether he should leave or stay.

Julius' Castle

Dark magic swirls around Julius' hand as he furiously balls it, watching into a vision of the battlefield swirling in a dark vortex.

   "Accursed god with her empty promises. That thing didn't kill a single person!"   

He lets out a low growl as he gets off of his throne.

   "But the merchant is vulnerable. This may be my chance. I will warp in and kill her before they have the time to react-"   

He pauses when he hears the door to the throne room open.

"Um... sorry, I...", Morgan, with his hood up, says as he peeks from behind it.

   "What is it?"   

"I... I brought what you asked for."

   "What I asked... oh, right. That Loki debacle had me distracted."   , Julius mutters as he walks to the door, motioning for Morgan to fully enter the room. He does so, afraid to find out what'd happen if he doesn't.

He gives Julius a small box, which the dark prince takes and opens. He grins in a pleased manner upon seeing what's inside. He takes out the golden-colored card.

   "This Member Card will provide us with all the goods we need to set up for the final phase of my plan."   

"Um... but, if I may ask...", Morgan hesitantly says. Julius looks to him, not saying anything, but his expression clearly saying 'get on with it'.

"I can't really see miss Anna selling anything to any of us."

Julius just chuckles.

   "Naive boy. She's not the only Anna with a Secret Shop. Now go get ready, you'll be up soon."   

Morgan looks... very uncertain all of a sudden. He does quickly nod and run off though. Julius closes the door and returns to the vision, now seeing Jake near Anna.

   "And the moment is lost... if I attacked now, he'd take the hit for sure."   

He sits back down on his throne, holding up the Member Card and flicking it a bit, looking evilly amused.

   "I suppose it's all the better. Now she may live to see what I have in store for her after all."

The Shepherds take cover and witness the end of the fight, spent, several of them are too exhausted to react when the Whitebeard Pirates arrive. Damn it, Oden! You could've gotten yourself killed running off like that!

Oden laughs and sheath his swords, eyeing the Hoshidans. I had solid help! Woohoo! He says, eyeing the carnage around him. Whitebeard sighs and notices the lone wyvern knight in the distance. Not knowing their intentions but deducing that an ally would probably be running off elsewhere, he attempts to... scare them off with a burst of Conqueror's Haki. Not enough to get them unconscious, but enough to get them to notice that they shouldn't stick around.

Would any of ya need healing? I can provide it! Marco stretches his blue wings, engulfing people in blue fire if needed. This will heal them over time, at a quick pace. It's for free... for the ladies! As for the men- Jozu groans. Fine.

In the meantime, Corrin returns, jumping from the fort over to Beruka, who's healed thanks to Marco. Not focusing straight right now, he hugs her in a manner that would be atypical by his standards, which she accepts with a small smile... before going poker-faced again. She eyes Selena, Odin and Laslow, wishing they wouldn't have been there to see this. ... One small thing.

Corrin lets go of her, but to his surprise Beruka doesn't let go of her own, wrapping his arm around his waist while pointing to Kana. Corrin, this is our daughter, Kana.

Daddy! She says, smacking into him. Corrin freezes like a statue, dropping to the ground with a thud. Kana is quick to pick him up, and Beruka also assists after sidestepping her hug. It's been 500 years! It's me! Kana! How are you? Wow, your hair was kinda unique at the time! You look so pretty! Wow! Is that blood? Oh wow I guess you were a wild dad back then! How did you style your hair like that? It's kinda funny! Let me show you some of mine! Kana fumbles with Corrin, who slowly unfreezes. The rest of the Whitebeard Pirates turn to them, baffled, as he looks at Kana and notices the similarities, obvious as they are.

Once done, he doesn't quite back off but looks slightly uncomfortable, the situation completely going over his head.

S-so this is my daughter? Erm I mean... N-no! I mean-

You were away from home for that long, you deadbeat dad?!

O-of course not! I... I don't even have a daughter! I-

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/esbzqdbxeaentqo.png

So she doesn't exist to you, huh?

Y-you're misinterpreting everything! Beruka! Help me!

Beruka shrugs. But you were away.

Noooo!

Samsara pinches the bridge of her nose. tired

Camilla looks at Selena, with her face disturbingly devoid of emotions besides a cold smile. Hi Selena. I am not upset! What about you?

Annihilation Nergigante huffed in anger, as the only food source it cared enough about here had exploded.

There were, of course, other options. But humans tasted like shit, Mizutsune were too soapy (and feathers, when eaten raw), and it was unfamiliar with the dead wyverns that littered the ground. Plus, it knew picking a fight with an entire fortress was a bad idea, especially in this nauseated state the Nergigante was in after somehow winding up here. So, it grabbed one of the deadified wyverns by the throat and took off, smelling more promising prey in the far distance: A wayward Barroth and Nargacuga, far away from here.

——

Lutemis got to her feet finally, recuperated enough to stand once more.

"Hey, girl, you okay?" Luin asked in a hushed voice, patting the head of the Rathian that seemed to be getting bigger by the day. A common trait in Kinship-binded monsters was exponentially fast maturation, as opposed to their wild counterparts. Luin had not truly believed it until she had actually seen it in Lutemis, though. The Rathian grumbled, stretching out her wings.

"Not bad. Of course, you could have done better, but that's to be expected of a rookie in any profession." The projection spoke from behind her, the man showing himself only to the Rider.

"Right. Any reason in particular you had me help out here?"

"Because we need information. And I'd say someone here owes you his life, hmm?" The Huntsman nodded towards the out-of-place looking wyvern rider.

Luin seemed almost disappointed that it had eluded her mind, the reason she was in these lands in the first place. And with that, the uppercase R Rider approached the lowercase r rider, Lutemis not too far behind.

"Are you familiar with this continent?" She asked him suddenly, her weapons stored away on Lutemis already.

Nicole reverts back to normal once more and makes her way back to Anna and Jake, offering them both a grin.

"So, unless another nasty surprise decides to pop up outta nowhere, I think now might be a great time for some catching up."

She pulls Anna into a big hug.

"Sorry I haven't seen you in forever, Anna. How's my favorite money-loving sweetheart been?"

Loki turns on his heel and departs from the premises, twirling Nightbane in his gauntleted hand.


Hub Centralis, Mall

Pietro is sitting at the bar of an Olive Garden in the Hub Centralis' mall, dressed in a black suit with a white jacket. As he waits for his company to join him, he scrolls through the contacts on his phone.

"Between Polyphemus actually knowing how to fight worth a damn and how tough his lackeys are, it's obvious whose help I'm gonna need."

He stops once he reaches two names in particular: Hisoka and Machi.

"He'll be itching for a shot at all of them once I tell him everything, and money definitely won't be a problem when it comes to her."

Setting his phone down on the countertop, he begins studying the various wine bottles.

A cold wind blows into the bar for a moment. Right after that, Pietro will find Seras seated on the chair besides him, having chosen to use her vampiric speed to see if she can't give him a minor jumpscare as a good-natured tease.

   "You're dressed up all fancy."   , she says, smirking happily.    "What's the occasion?"

Pietro immediately shifts his gaze to the newly-arrived Seras, offering her a smirk in return.

"I thought Integra was gonna be here. Figured she might appreciate having a chance to relax somewhere nice after dealing with stuck-up politicians and bloodsucking ghouls."

He lightly pushes a nearby basket of breadsticks over to her.

"That, and I wanted to talk about a little scuffle I had with Polyphemus and his lackeys earlier. Yeah, he's finally active after god knows how long, so now I don't have to keep driving myself crazy."

   "She'd be here if she could, but we recently finished some business and she's been busy with the cleanup."   

She takes a breadstick and starts eating it as she listens to Pietro.

   "So that arse is causing trouble after all, huh? For a while I actually started to think they remained in the shadows solely to drive us crazy. How did things go? Are you alright?"

"Well, next time you see her, could you ask when a good time for a meetup would be? I haven't seen her in freaking forever."

Pietro grabs a breadstick for himself and bites into it.

"Don't worry, I came out of it just fine. You should've seen how badly Polyphemus' toys got their asses kicked. Heh, I actually learned a lot from that whole scrap, including who Slayer isn't."

Before Seras can ask him what the hell he meant by that, he proceeds to tell her about the clash with Polyphemus' forces in Blackreach.

Mark gives a stern nod to Greil's Smile, a little bit of respect to him.

The two get out of their transformed states after, minor injuries they cant be bothered regenerating still persisting. Mark wanders off to take the largest fucking puke he's ever gotten in a while. Nick patting his back to help at least, the one kind gesture they've exchanged so far.

"Don't... Get it on my clothes, fucking spitfire"

Minutes pass and he's feeling relatively alright, ready to ask the main thing in his mind at the moment.

"fuck where's all the food we took, at?"

"...hell if i know"

An arrow passes by between them with a note attached to it, Mark inspects the note which reads.

"AWWWW'D'YOU LEAVE 'IS FOR ME? I SHOULDA BROUGHT BACCHUS HERE!"

Realizing what's up he turns to where it was shot. Artemis drinking hefty amounts of the stolen atop the walls of the fort. Both let out a loud gasp as they rapidly approach Artemis, arriving less than a second afterwards... Somehow a fight doesn't break out between the three of them.

"...Both o' ya don't got a clue on what this place is I feel?"

"The fuck's this gotta do with our wine and food?"

"Oh nothing~ Just wanted to take a quick sip before salvaging what's left of the fellas you and the others destroyed"

"You call FIVE BOTTLES A QUICK SIP?!"

"She's a God, Mark, five times of everything they say, including being a massive fucking hinderance..."

Artemis laughs and gets up, preparing to hop off the wall.

"By the way, both of ya can get in if you don't act all shady and the likes. Place is teeming with pirates and outlaws just like ya. Anywho if ya find Hermes or his favorite, lemme know, I'll show up in any forest so 's not like you're missin' anything."

She hops off, sprinting into the former battlefield to salvage some hide of the dead wyverns among other things.

"Of cooooourse he's a God's favorite too, goody two-shoes bootlicker"

"Don't be a bitch about it, besides we still haven't settled who did more."

Both of them stare at eachother, knowing eachothers responses well.

"...I did more"

Both of them sigh afterwards, since they're equally exhausted from fighting themselves and walk into the fort to grab a quick bite and a tiny bit of mischief.

   "Consider it done."   , Seras says.

She then looks intrigued as she listens to what Pietro tells her.

   "Troops that can appear out of nowhere, big mechanical weaponry and a woman skilled with a sharp weapon. It's Millennium all over again."   , she jokingly says. Then she pauses upon remembering that Polyphemus has been compared to nazis before.

   "... I swear to god, if Polyphemous turns out to be that arsehole Major somehow!"   , she says in almost comedic annoyance.

The trio hugs when the battle is over.

Emi addresses the other Shepherds:

I think we did a good job there, and I hope we did pass the audition.

Pietro can't help but flash a goodnatured smirk at Seras.

"Guess we can add that to the list of reasons we're gonna make sure Polyphemus dies a painful, messy death," he remarks, grabbing another breadstick and wolfing it down. "If he does turn out to be the Major in disguise, police girl, I'll dress up like Alucard and find a bayonet-wielding Scottish priest to fight."

   "Quite right."   , Seras smirks before finishing her breadstick.

"I don't know, man. You and Seras have both seen just how fast I really am."

Chuckling, Pietro grabs a nearby menu and places it on the countertop for Seras to read, in case she might also want something to eat.

"Anyway, now that we know exactly what to expect, we'll need a plan if we're gonna take the fight to Polyphemus. If you ask me, picking off his top cronies might be a good place to start," he says. "You got any ideas?"

   "Well, if Alexander Anderson was still alive, he might have been able to deal with that swordswoman. But he and Master aren't around to rely on anymore. I'm not completely sure if I could handle it on my own."   

"You've dealt with Zorin Blitz, haven't you?"

   "A scythe and illusions are very different from a sword. I've seen Sir Integra spar, the movements are not at all the same."   

"If you know how a swordfighter does battle, then you'll have an easier time reading her movements, non?"

   "... well... maybe..."   , Seras hums, pondering. She looks at Pietro.

   "Regardless of whether I could beat her or not, there is no way we're going to be able to defeat them all on our own. We're gonna need permanent allies. There's Walter, sure, but only three, erm, four people against an entire organization..."

"And just before you turned up, I realized there are two people who might be exactly who we're looking for."

She looks back at Pietro.

Pietro sets his phone back down and eats another breadstick.

"Machi's a ninja girl who fights with strings, just like Walter. Don't worry, I've got more than enough money to hire her. Short answer: yeah, I'm thinking they'll help us."

"Straight to the point with business, huh? I like that. Would be easier to answer what don't I have," she replies. "Got cash, got BB credits, and enough tech and weapons to choke on them. The kind of stuff to fill a starless night with lights."

"Just the way I like it," interjects Alpha Man with a vicious grin on his face.

"All ripe for the taking by anyone willing to do a bit of hunting for it." Blade opens the briefcase and takes out a dossier with the now familiar sigil of the blinded eye on the cover. It contains several names and profiles - many of them participants in the ill-fated TRAILBLAZER operation and the assault on G.E.M. Base. Some of them bear notes such as "PRIORITY FOR EXPERIMENTATION - CAPTURE ALIVE IF POSSIBLE" or "THREAT RATING EXTREME - APPROACH WITH CARE".

"We are willing to pay extra for live captures.

The wyvern rider looks at Luin, nodding.

"Well enough to know where to go for the time being."

Whoa, the mook can actually talk.

Thanks to the distant healing, Anna's wounds become a lot less severe. But she's still VISIBLY very winded.

"I'm not sure now's the moment to catch up.", Jake notes, but Anna blows that off.

"Hey, I'm exhausted, but not so exhausted that I can't have a chat with a friend~"

She then does almost lose her balance, prompting Jake to hold onto her a bit tighter. Anna sheepishly smirks.

"... though maybe I should sit down in the fort before much else.", she laughs.

"You don't think the Shepherds will mind the three of us heading to the lunch room, would they?", Jake then asks, also smiling.

Selena turns to Camilla. She also smiles, though hers seems genuine.

"Lady Camilla! Please forgive me for having been away for so long, things have been-"

As if sensing it, Selena's head then snaps to the scene with Corrin as well, even though she and Laslow should be too far away to overhear it. She instantly storms towards Corrin, expression very similar to Oden's and Whitebeard's.

"LORD CORRIN!", she calls out once close. Beruka should already be able to tell that someone's gonna have to calm Selena down quickly.

"As your older sister's retainer, I respect you. But did I hear that right!? Do you have a daughter that you abandoned!? Disgusting!"

She sounds outright furious about the misunderstanding and doesn't mince her words one bit despite Corrin having a higher status than her and being Camilla's brother, almost as if it's a personal matter. Laslow and Odin, once he reaches the fort's exit, would immediately know why. And so should Lucina and Noire. After all, the five of them have had to fend for themselves for so long... it shouldn't be any wonder that Selena reacts this intensely to this insinuation.

Laslow is already on his way to try to diffuse the situation, but he'll most likely not be able to do this on his own, knowing Selena. She's often moody, but when she's genuinely angry, she is almost impossible to calm down.


   "From what I've seen so far that does sound like something he'd get excited over."   , Seras says. She then smiles.

   "If they both join us, that'll be a good start already. But I'm still not sure if it'd be enough. You did say Polyphemus attacked an army base with their own army and managed to briefly get someone inside. We're gonna need enough people to blaze through their army so that we can stay on the offensive."

Previous Post

Ben's shove knocks the lightsaber loose from Izawano's grip, which also cures his suicidal motions. Clutching his head with his hand, he stood back up. Zeloai returns to consciousness, adrenaline immediately kicking in. Without skipping a beat, he shoots a hand outward toward Laxin, creating a lapse in the sith's balance.

With his balance askew, the sith lord overcorrects himself, allowing Azula's low strike to singe into his leg. The fire crisps his flesh, but the pain drives him further into a rage. Focusing himself, Laxin swings both blades to block Bulublú's attack.

Pushing himself away from his attacker, he takes a defensive stance as Ben approaches. Allowing himself to be pushed back by the sapphire blade, he blocks each strike with masterful precision. Laxin responds with a devastating flurry of blows of his own. One after another in quick succession from all angles, the sith pushed hard into his strikes. The force of lightning crackling from his blades creates a new threat to Ben if he were to fall victim to it.

The fury behind each attempted blow grew fiercer with each swing, Laxin taunting the young Jedi.

   "You are courageous now Traviss, but how long will that last when you are all alone?"   

He cackled maniacally, finishing his attack with an overhead slam by both lightsabers. Like a butterfly, he flourishes his blades like wings and leaps around to face Noble Six. The spartan's brute force would help him little, Laxin treating his assault as if it were little more than a game.

He sidesteps the swing of the gravity hammer, little more than his clothes fluttering showing any effect from the shockwave. Raising two fingers from his grip on his lightsaber, he fires a burst of force lightning at the spartan.

It should be more than sufficient enough to send Noble Six careening, the sith lord centering his focus onto Azula. His eyes narrow beneath his helmet, taking careful notice of the subtle change in her aura.

She was unfamiliar territory, like Terra. Something new, as he always seemed to encounter. Deciding to prod her, he also fires a burst of force lightning toward her. After doing so he releases Zeloai's saberstaff, throwing it in an arcing motion that threatened to cleave through the droideka and Warrick.

Izawano in the midst of all this recalls his lightsaber to him and rushes to his master's side.

"I am fine, I assure you."

He grunts, rising to his feet. His gaze centers on his lightsaber flying through the air, and ducks beneath it before it could harm him. He looks to Azula and loudly interjects.

"If you could provide an escape plan that doesn't involve blowing us up, I'd ask you to do it now."

He pleads.

When the Force Lightning is fired at her, she lets slip a vicious smirk before extending a pair of finger's into the stream of electricity, absorbing it into herself, and blasting it back at Laxin - it's force redoubled by the built-up Green Lightning of her previous maneuver.

"I'm afraid you'll still be at risk, but I can try to avoid you and your comrades."

Azula closes her eyes, focusing on the area around herself - if she really wants to avoid torching anyone ostensibly on her side, she'll need some proper spatial awareness for this.

...

"Burn."

In one smooth motion, she flicks two fingers upwards. Laxin should find the area immediately around himself suddenly engulfed in impossibly hot and dense blue flame, expanding upwards into a cone of fire which may blow right through the roof of the facility. Notably, it didn't erupt from under Laxin - the firestorm just sort of spawned into existence around him.

Kana is profoundly confused and Corrin is mortified and startled, though Beruka sort of wraps her arm around him to let him know she's there. She's our daughter from far into the future and she... introduced herself to us when Corrin was away on a scouting assignment. He didn't know about her, I can promise. And besides, she points to her face. I am not of age to have such a grown daughter, Selena.

Oden and Whitebeard seems accepting of the explanation, thought it'd sound insane to anyone. I was messing with you, kid! Whitebeard pats the young man on the shoulder. He navigated along for a little while and pulled his weight fighting a... glowing evil hedgehog... so that's his "murder cat", hum. He mutters at the last part, contemplating Beruka.

It's funny, I know someone with a similar story! Oden also pats Corrin. Welcome to being a dad! It's a great story, I'll tell you! Just don't let her date weird guys, hm? Like a weirdo with an interest in swords or an unusual hair color.

Lucina and Noire approach as well, and Kana, seeing that her father is fine, looks at Selena. Are you the red-haired lady that my parents talked about? Mom said you were "over-emotional" like that, haha! Is your head hot? Because she said you're an hot-head or something and that could explain it! She reaches for Selena's hand, attempting to check its temperature.

I'm sorry, Kana, Corrin speaks, prompting Kana to look at him. A daughter from the future... that took me off guard a little there but huh, you... I'm happy that you've grown well and you seem happy, and I would always have picked Kana as a name for my kid and you... you fight very well, I'm very proud of you and... and surprised you turned out that way with me as a dad.

It's not that weird of a scenario. Noire mutters beneath her breath.

You were a great dad! And a great mom too! I'm just so happy to be with you again! She grabs her parents and constricts them, though Beruka keeps her poker face going. I'm so catching up to you! I'm making up for a dozen centuries not seeing you! Aw, I missed you so much!

Corrin looks worried while he's being hugged, apparently guessing that something had to happen to him in the future, but he attempts to focus on the present and smiles, happily embracing Kana as well. Beruka is the only one who doesn't, at first getting her arm out before awkwardly getting it around her daughter.

You're going to be missing me again. My lungs are being crushed to soup. Kana lowers her strength, and Beruka is freed. Thank you.

You're welcome, mom!

Whitebeard and Oden, satisfied, depart with their crew... straight into the fort, to celebrate. Samsara groans in hapless despair and look at Kirrey. She does vaguely smiles at the trio, though.

My crops are gone and there's a thousand people moving in when I, in all due respect, haven't invited them to eat at all... C-could you give them food to eat, please? The way they act, I don't want to be the one to tell these guys to get out.

Gritting his teeth, Ben begins desperately parrying Laxin's strikes, each blow driving him back several steps until he eventually manages to lock blades with the imposing Sith Lord.

"Revan was alone when he dueled Malak aboard the Star Forge, yet he struck him down. Meetra Surik fought Sion and Traya by herself on Malachor V, and she emerged victorious while that cursed world became their grave," he retorts, mustering what defiance he could as he pushes back against the scarlet and green lightsabers with his own sapphire-blue blade . "Even if I'm alone when I face you, Laxin, you'll meet the same kriffing fate as the Sith who came before you!"

When Laxin ends his onslaught with a mighty overhead blow, Ben's lightsaber is knocked from his grasp as he's sent crashing to the floor. Hissing in pain, he recalls his weapon just in time to notice what Azula was doing.


Nicole cracks a wry smile.

"We're all tight with Sam and her folks, aren't we? I doubt she's gonna throw us out just 'cause we want a bite to eat after that huge-ass dustup," she replies.


"His army got completely trashed, Seras. Between them and his henchmen, I'd say the latter's a much bigger threat. Although, I guess there's always a chance the swordswoman or Tinman might call in lackeys for backup while we're fighting them, and that'd make taking them out just a little harder," Pietro replies, leaning forward in his seat.

"Lucky for us, since Rin was at that battle, we can definitely count on her. So we've got her, me, you, Reyna, Alucard, Walter, Machi, and Hisoka. Now there's a team that could handle whatever Polyphemus throws at us," he says. "But if you think we might need more people before we're ready, did you have anyone in mind?"
