   What do you mean my mom?!    She glares, and composes herself, unnerved at the Devil Trigger.    No! I... was hard at work... selling artifacts of your mother in erotic postures.    She grins smugly, proud at her own wit.

When Obsidio comes at her with diplomacy, Suzuki grimaces and stomps on the ground, the blade waging back and forth in the dark like a glowy lightsaber, leaving a red liquid trail in its wake.    Nay! I am an Onryo! Whom you've angered by accessing her domain! The price for such behavior is death absolute! One I shall hand to you with... absolutely certainty unless you help me, oni! If you help me I shall fight... the girl, while you fight that bothersome twink!   

She suddenly leaps very far into the sky, leaving a red trail behind her as she floats around. To her credit, it's hard to keep up with her speed when she launches.

   Behold! I am floating and you are not! The advantage is mine and I would suggest you work with me, Kaiju!

Obsidio facepalmed, turning to one of the other two after watching the lady taking off.

"If I throw one of you, you think you could get her down so we can solve whatever, uh, issues she has?"

Tide of Flesh


Rookie

The Draconic form of rookie plumets towards the queen of blades, firing off a strange, rather flashy projectile as a breath weapon before changing forms back to their smaller form when they reach the ground, out of the blast radius.


Samus

Samus Glares at the SA-X releasing its combat form, recalling the last time this occured. She yells out "It seems the X parasite is done with using a more stable form. It's manipulating it's form on the fly to make itself more effective in combat." She gets hit by a few of the attacks, but thanks to the gravity suit, she's not completely screwed. Analyzing it's movements, samus grins under her helmet. "I've fought this before. I've learnt a few tricks since then."

Samus rushes in with erratic movement patterns, firing off several missiles as a distraction, before attempting to slide under the creature and grab it, in an attempt to drain the bastard.


Homura

Homura notices the incoming posessed exalt, standing still, the gears on her shield whirring up...

    Homura's World 
And Time stands still, as Homura calmly says "Let's finish this."

Homura casually pulls an artillery piece out from behind her shield, alongside a suitably sized artillery shell, calmly angling it at the carnifex's centre of mass, firing it, as the shell starts to move, stopping after exiting the barrel. Homura takes out a camera, moving over to the side of the shell, and snaps a photo, which causes the shell to move slightly due to the light interacting with it, but not much. And time resumes, with the result being...

And suddenly, Homura's off to the side, holding a camera, as the blast sound of artillery rings out in the battlefield.

Said artillery being pointed directly at the carnifex at essentially point blank range.


Vincent

Vincent has almost arrived!


Madoka

Madoka, guess what, Fires more arrows! This time, directed at the queen of blades!


Zero

Zero dashes around, firing a few buster shot shots off at the queen of blades.

Tropique

Sure!

Mark kicks the ball upwards, and with help of the God Hand (because it isn't illegal until your physical hand touches the ball, altough he has a pass by being the goalkeeper and a friendly match) he headbutts the ball towards Sarah. It will not be an explosive shot, but it's not less powerful regardless.

Donte, annoyed that his wit has been easily matched makes a quick comback!

"That's what im doing big guy but thanks, she's got jack shit to show for. Besides I don't think her mother's that hot anyway"

Seeing her float he composes slightly to reply to Obsidio's request.

"No thanks, I got   this"   

Activating Devil Trigger again he floats upwards at a much slower pace in comparison. After 5 minutes of standing perfectly still he swings an angelic hook that extended from his blade.

It's harmless by nature and only serves to hoist Donte up to her level and a tiny bit higher out of petty spite. If it misses he just continues on for a minute.

   "Sorry to break your stride Ms Onyon, but you're gonna make me cry at how thin skinned you are. So how about explain what this shitfest of a place in detail to us so we can go on with our day? Sound good?"

Volcanic Hive

"Hey, whoa, I said chill!" Sandalphon barked at Sir Sword, before reaching his claws around the Scorchbeast Queen to hold her gently like hamburger. Big as Scorchbeasts were, Elder Dragons were bigger. "I'm gonna go see if I can do anything to de-mutate this lass back into a normal bat."

Yamato Deck

With his self-biomodding, Hadraniel heard the preparations being called for below him.    <Sorry, come again, did I hear 'Wave Motion Gun'?>    he telepathically asked AoU!Samus.    <... Two questions, do I need eye protection, and is this going to disrupt my lair's stability?>   

   <Sandalphon — Something big might be coming. Prepare to get out of here if you must.>   

<Read ya loud and clear.> "First things first, I sense we should vacate the area quickly, folks!"

The world was dead and she killed it.

The void replies when someone calls it. She called it, it rushed back in response, and now her world was dead.

Her dreams, her destiny, her fate, her mission. A being made to save humanity, destroyed it.

That was what Esperer von Chikara remembered. A mage at the peak of her craft, an inhuman creature with a quest to find humanity, but now only a broken doll. Her personality nearly shattered, her knowledge remained but her psyche was nearly obliterated on the nightmarish travel from her decaying dimension to the Arena. Laying on the field almost comatose.

She wears a long white dress, with a skin like the pale moon, eyes red like rubies under her closed eyelids, and a hair white as snow that reaches her feet.

What will happen with her? Is there still hope for her dreams?

Ember - Merrall's Residence

"N-no, I've only seen signs of them out in the darkness," Sadge stammers. "They never venture into the light."

Cloving Street

Bismark will find the Messengers' Quarters on Cloving Street, staffed by the Messenger Captain Allis Fleery, an almost ghost-like woman. Her bones are visible poking out of her skin, her eyes are pale, and her hair is as gray as dust.

She glances at Bismark, who ironically besides the bone part looks quite similar to her, and gives him a well-meaning grin.

In the original book, Captain Fleery is a Believer - a member of a cult-like group who believe the original builders of Ember were like gods and will come to save the city. In the Arena continuity, some Believers equate the Outsiders with the Builders.


Rhea vs. Trainer(?)

Oof, that's a super-effective hit alright. However, Swarbat being a generic bat mook Pokémon and Hitodama being a fully-evolved starter, it still doesn't do much.

HOWEVER, because Hitodama used a Strong Style attack just before, Swarbat gets to act again before he can make another move.


Me and the Girls When Reality As We Know It Is a Lie

Addison walks over to a big ominous machine and plugs a USB cable from it into their computer. Then they press some buttons, do some clicking and dragging, the machine makes an ominous roar...

and it opens up to dispense Sayori and Yuri. They will likely already be aware of what Monika explained to Natsuki just now.


Chuuni Overlord

Vera warps up to Donte and says, "You could just ask someone who isn't a prick."

She channels holy angelic power into her staff and tries to just lightly bonk Suzuki on the head with it.


Tide of Flesh - Battle

Scorchbeast Queen

WHACK. The blade digs into the Scorchbeast Queen's flesh, drawing blood but failing to hit anything vital. Before she can think to retaliate, Sandalphon picks her up, and she just accepts it at this point.

SA-X

The physical blows dealt to the SA-X knock off chunks of gross flesh, spittle, and unspeakable black gunk, with Enamorus' attack indeed seeming to deal the most damage. When R!Samus tries to succ it, however, Necromorph flesh bursts out and covers her hand, stifling her power-draining abilities.

A hole opens up in the SA-X's non-cannon arm, and a Power Bomb flies out directly at Thor's face. The explosion also threatens Luffy and Super Love.

   "Okay, take two."    Maou warps in front of the SA-X and begins preparing a Megaton Punch again.

Queen of Blades

The Queen of Blades covers her face as Wriggle's swarm-body disperses around her, but gets sandwiched between Eleven's punch and Wriggle's backstab. She staggers, then warps away to dodge Eleven's follow-up and Madoka and Zero's projectiles, but before she can warp again, Super Pamp's guitar disorients her, allowing Manaphy's bubbles to make her all slippery and deprive her of speed. She withstands the Tri-Attack without receiving a status affliction, then blocks the Manakete's Breath Weapon with a psionic blast.

A premonition courtesy of her psychic powers stops Kerrigan short of retaliating. Instead, she backpedals as fast as she can, towards the Volcanic Hive.

The Fall Vessel scoffs.    "Coward."   

Distraction Carnifex

Grimarth keeps flying, eventually crashing into a mountain. If that was normal Mar, he'd be dead on impact, but Grimarth just gets up again, growling in anger.

The Distraction Carnifex has some psychic powers of its own, courtesy of being a Synapse Organism + Zerg shenanigans. It stands its ground, crashing into some buildings and rock formations, but not being thrown into the air and bounced around like a pinball. It catches the Mutant Child's hands in a Brawler Lock, moments before Homura's barrage consumes it in fire and shrapnel.

The beast emerges, very wounded but very much alive, and also very pissed.

Custodium REX

The final King Mook's guarding stance is broken by Cell's kick, though his ki blasts don't seem to do much. It digs its arms and legs into the ground to prevent being launched into orbit - a mistake, as the force of Xoeur's punch blows its carapace open, leaving Kroq-Gar free to spear its softer underflesh. As it thrashes about trying to get him off, the tic-tac-toe game commences, and soon the Custodium REX is roasted alive by the explosion and Flamethrower, ending it.

ALL

The surviving Mook forces suddenly bear down upon our heroes from all directions, swarming them from behind in a pincer attack.

"You're not going to have a lair in a second," Samus replies to Hadraniel. "Don't worry, it'll come back... I think. But this, right now, is our only choice. They'll just keep coming back, spread endlessly no matter how thoroughly we think they're gone... unless..."

Samus leans into a speaker, projecting her voice throughout the entirety of Estraole. "All ground units, I repeat, all ground units!"

A circle of light suddenly appears on the ground near the Volcanic Hive.

"We're unleashing an extremely dangerous force. Teleport access to the Yamato is being provided. If you want to survive, take it or find another means of escape!"

"Affirmative," replies Rtas 'Vadum, the shipmaster of that ship that dropped the Scarabs into Minira. Said Scarabs are promptly warped back into the ship.

Samus turns to the Defense Federation crew. "Point the bow of the ship at the Volcanic Hive!"

The Yamato lurches, and everyone who retreated to safety aboard it will feel an unsteadiness on their feet as it tips downwards slightly.

The remaining atrocities of flesh stop and looks up at the ship. The Gravemind's voice echoes,    "A PALTRY EFFORT BY AN ARCHAIC KIND. YOUR STRUGGLES ONLY DELAY YOUR DEMISE. ALL YOUR EFFORTS LEFT BEHIND... AGAIN AND AGAIN, WE SHALL RISE."   

   "That's right... hit us with your best shot, if you dare!"    The Queen of Blades splays out her limbs, curling her wings around her back like claws.

"Lord Narktus, Emperor Laxin, if you're watching... you owe us for cleaning up your mess!"

Player 2

holy shit holy shit holy shit this is so cool

The Necromorph hive-mind's voice in his head is no longer dispensing strategical advice or anything of the sort. It has devolved into    KILL THEM   

   KILL THEM NOW   

Tide of Flesh - ENDGAME (THE EXCEEDER - JAM Project)

Amaterasu looks up at the shadows descending upon them.

"This doesn't look good, Ammy..."

Grimarth, the Fall Vessel, and Maou glance up, frowning in dismissive anger.

It doesn't look like the swarm intends to have a fair fight. They'll infect, consume, do anything they can that can ignore power-level differences.

Issun calls out, "We'd best take that offer! Haul ass, everyone!"

Amaterasu sprints towards the teleport circle, as do Grimarth and the Fall Vessel.

Maou lowers his arm as the runic circles disappear.    "Awww, man, that's the second time today I don't get to do my cool finisher."   

"Too bad!" replies Samus.

Yamato

"Switching to emergency settings in case of power reboot!" X declares.

"Where is the heat source?" asks Samus.

Dr. McNinja, wearing a pair of thermal goggles that connect to a camera on the ship's exterior, answers, "Just below the volcano - there's a Dread Seed from the Sith Empire! The Gravemind, the Marker, the Hive, it was all stacked on top of that point!"

"Good! Send us the coordinates! B-Zoner, you know what to do!"

"Yes, ma'am! Aligning the ship's bow with that buried glowy thing, ma'am!"

Player 2

   KILL THEM KILL THEM KILL THEM KILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILL   

"No."

The voices are silenced in an instant.

"I know what you are," remarks Player 2. "You've been feeding me strategic advice, trying to uphold an illusion that I'm the shepherd conducting a grand slaughter, when I'm actually just another sheep to be butchered."

He cries out and stumbles away from his computer as visions are forced into his mind - both vivid fantasies and horrific nightmares - but he gets a hand on one table to steady himself, and maintains his grin.

"Did you think I actually wanted to consume everything in a space-zombie horde? I was just playing along because I thought it'd be fun to see how much havoc I could wreak." He winces, clutching his head with one hand as the visions intensify. His loved ones' faces morph between cheerful grins and empty, soulless, screaming corpses.

He falls to his knees, steadying himself with his free hand. "I went into this... expecting... to lose..."

He reaches up for his keyboard. It's right there, but it feels like he needs to reach so far to get to it. Only a few inches away, yet he has to cross worlds.

"And I..."

>Select all units

"was..."

>Return to Base

"RIGHT!"

Battlefield

Kerrigan, the SA-X, the Distraction Carnifex, and the forces that were about to swarm the brave fighters... all suddenly turn and head right past them. Returning to the Volcanic Hive.

Yamato

"They're... retreating," remarks Jotaro. "Going right past the allied forces to group up on their primary base."

"To defend it or die with it?" muses Samus. "Doesn't matter. Maintain aim!"

"Open circuits!" barks Faith. "Force injector, activate!"

Psyco, treat Battle and ENDGAME like two separate posts - think when we did the same during the Devil Gundam event.

Also after Rbade's post is the time for Pseudo's reaction.

Natsuki stared longingly at the two who had just entered the real world.

Of course, natsuki wasn't the important element, as sayori spoke up first.

"Errrm...this is new....Monika?!!"

Sayori said with a start, her negative emotions towards Monika temporarily subsiding as she ran up and hugged her without a thought about where she was, or how she got there.

"I thought you were gone...I thought.... Sayori was already about to cry, Yuri on the the other hand...

"You!"

Yuri wasn't as forgiving as sayori at all, she was angry, vengeful. It was a miracle she wasn't trying to stab Monika. She looked crazed and violent, ready to do anything.

"What did you do now? Are you here to finish the job    You evil worthless waste of space

Margit, the one to stand back, sees the horde coming and has the time to prepare and fight it. He can't kill it on his lonesome but he puts up a fight. Luffy has more troubles, dodging the explosion only to get swarmed.

Hey! Staph it! He attempts to punch his way out, unknowingly heading for the extraction point. So does Margit, content to fight on for eternity, piercing and slashing and hammering.

Eleven groans as the Queen flees again and decides to take a gambit. She grabs a stone, imbue it with pink-ish energy, and throws it away. Then, she glares at the Queen and blitzes forward, murderously annoyed with her, unleashing spatial-boosted speed on top of Limit Breaker. She then attempts to unleash what amounts to the Waterfowl Dance, delivering a devastating amount of attacks with ridiculous speed, power and precision, effectively becoming a spinning whirlwind of death, capable of carving deep gashes at nigh-instant speed. The mooks can't even get close to her.

She carries on, unfazed by whatever Samus plans.

As for Thor, he is swarmed but attempts to offer respite for his fellows by spinning his hammer once, creating a mighty tornado around himself, so vast and grand as to swipe the weaker beings off their feet and towards him. He attempts to draw in as many parasite as possible into a gargantuan tornado before floating off the battlefield, punching and hammering at every single living thing caught in it.

ARRRRRR DIE YOU! DIE YOU! DIE YOU!

...

Suzuki deflects the hook and smirks.    We will see how thin skinned you are when I'll wear you as a hoodie you rambancutous rantanplanesque idiot! For am I am the wielder of-    She's bonked by Vera, having not seen it coming, and instantly goes unconscious, as the darkness sword and darkness dome disappears altogether.

She falls to the ground, eyes spiny swirls and mouth agape.    awawawawawa...   

It could be dangerous: they are high in the air.

...

Sarah uses her own hand to stop the ball, but her movemements are sluggish with it, so she resorts to kicking the ball into the sky with a dramatic upwards kick!

... Again!

Mar remains silent in his mind for now, until...

    Mar's Mind 
"We need to get the fuck out of here. Now. I don't know just how durable the fell dragon is, but If two of us want to make it out of here, and one of us doesn't want to be inconvenienced, It's likely best that we don't fuck about and find out."

Homura, noticing that the carnifex is still alive, begins to dash away, until the announcement occurs....

Gebura Tries to rush the queen of blades again, Only to suddenly dissapear into a flury of pages, as Angela exits the library as the announcement occurs, simply saying "Orbital bombardment. That may pose a risk to the library. I cannot risk that. It's time to retreat."

Samus is quite surprised by the necromorph trick, leading to her boost balling out from under the SA-X to make some distance, which would, thankfully, get her out of the range of a power bomb. And then the announcement occurs.

Seems it's time for another escape.

Rookie, noticing the situation, also hesitates to act further in combat, before the announcement occurs.

Zero also recieves the announcement, realizing that this whole place is about to be gone soon.

Madoka thankfully also hears the announcement, stopping her attack.

Vincent finally arrives, trying to carve a path through the enemy forces, as the announcement occurs...

A man approaches Esperer's laying body. His appearance mostly covered by a coat flowing in the wind, hands in pockets. Seeing the comatose state of the white lady he doesn't do anything just yet and waits for something to happen.

"Hmmm, reckon yain't related to 'em buuut if you could get up and say otherwise, it'd be pretty nice."


Onyxis, Car-based Edgelord

He looks down both in disappointment and relief that he doesn't have to do much.

   "Meh, just hadta get through her somehow"   

Donte replies to Vera, coolly shrugging off any spite he has realizing he's looking like an actual asshole here. A nonvisual facepalm is felt as he disengages his devil trigger state to drop down. Lacking any braincells his legs audibly crack on impact before slowly regenerating themselves.

Holstering his weapons he crouches to see the state this car demon is in and stares at her in mocking deject, confused he asks.

Xoeur crosses her arms as her opponent is reduced to dead.

"Nasty..."

Haruhi watches Kerrigan come down with a case of the retreatsies and. Okay, poggers. The battle is wrapping up. Again.

She prepares to go after the Distraction Carnifex, when Samus's announcement comes on.

"..."

Probably best to take that offer. Better than being swarmed by these mooks, or totally whatevered by Samus's whatever. She dashes towards the teleport circle, while Xoeur just.

Well.

Perhaps too sympathetic for her own good, she dash-ports after Eleven, and tries to get her in a grab. "We have to go!" If the grab fails, she'll just teleport around and try to grab again. If she fails twice, she'll give up on Eleven and teleport up to the Yamato without her. If either succeeds, she'll teleport all the way to Reprium, Eleven in tow.

-

After ten thousand years, Enforcer finally gets off his ass.

   "GRUMBLE! MY DAY OFF, AND PEOPLE UNLEASH DANGEROUS FORCES!"   

He putters off using his jetpack.

——

B-Zoner is positively giddy as the ship takes its aim.

"This is very nearly a dream come true, ma'am. Final safety released!"

An aperture in the front of the Yamato opens up. Various gauges spike, and the generator's power output rises beyond its maximum safe limit, to 120%.

Jotaro: "Increase in tachyon particle pressure inside the firing chamber!"

B-Zoner sits in a chair in front of a big-ass console, holding a strange gun-looking device. "Target scope, open!"

A transparent panel slides upwards in front of him, displaying a holographic HUD with a big-ass targeting reticle in the center, bordered by various trackers for horizontal and vertical alignment. "Bow is now in firing alignment!"

A brilliant golden light builds up inside the opened 'mouth' of the Yamato, which fades into a blue as huge motes of light gather within.


Very cool, Trainer snaps his fingers and sends Swarbat around for another go, hitting Hitodama with the same attack but again!

She opens her eyes in a fraction of a second, her red eyes staring at the sky for a solid 10 seconds, her gaze towards the heavens devoid of emotion.

After ten seconds, she squinted, getting up, wiping her face and standing on her own 2 feet. Processing the words spoken to her before one of the 4 sent a response.

"Elaborate." She said, with an inquisitive tone, turning her face to the man in a coat.

"HEY!"

Sir Sword shouts at the sky.

"Bring her back here! Bring that fuckwad back!" He screams, infuriated that his foe was taken before he could hit anything important. He was too busy screaming at the sky to be paying attention to the announcement from the Yamato. Fortunately for him, he had a much more level-headed partner on his side, who was much more attentive to his surroundings than the rage-driven blademaster. Wordlessly, he placed a hand on his closest friend's shoulder and, with a bright golden flash, their surroundings had changed and the duo now found themselves aboard the giant flying boat.

Señor Shield watched the events unfold without words, while Sir Sword simply wallowed in grief and contemplated his life. They were not quite impressed to see the enemies retreating, as they had only showed up in the final hour and had not been a part of the whole fight.

Meanwhile, though, Skull Squadron was celebrating their asses off.

They had already gotten alcohol from god knows where, and while the Flesh mooks scurried off to whatever godforsaken hellhole they had come from, the five men were partying and making a commotion on the starboard side.

From above, Arad and the Officer watched with pride, while Jennifer was fuming. They had been made a fool of-Most of their ground forces stationed in this region, gone. Like it was nothing.

Sure, they would be replaced like it was nothing, and by tomorrow they’d have just as many units there as before this whole ordeal, but still. They were meant to be a formidable defense force, not wiped out by some group of space zombies. If they couldn’t earn the wallets of the citizens of the Arena, what was the point of even protecting them?

She's firmly unconscous as she lands, the comical effects vanishing as she appears to enter a more regular form of KO'd.

And then she hears the comment.

   Mmmmrr.....MHG?!    Suzuki immediately recover, darting out of the demon's hands without so much as a thanks.

   Miserable fools! To spare me was a mistake! The end of your short lives shall be written in red! And not because it's red ink, but because it'll be BLOOD! YOURS! NOT MINE! PHASE 2 BEGINS! AHHHHHHHHHH-....?    She stops screaming, blinks and grabs her throat, having apparently lost her voice.

She mouths the threat instead, while furiously waving her arms back and forth.

Super Love casts a protective spell around Luffy, Te and herself. Altough the spell diminishes the damage received, they are pretty much hurt by the power bomb.

Queen of Blades

Our attacks doesn't work with her?

She seems to use psychic powers!

What we will do?

The Pica-Pica trio resolve to do their last resort... start a random dance. But in this moment, the Queen fleed.

Yeah! Go away!

And never return!

They blow raspberries and shake their rumps at her.

Distraction Carnifex

The Mutant Child got somewhat hurt by the fire attack... But he's also pretty much alive, and angry.

Bugs...?

Gregoria and the Bee Empress awwakened from their fainting.

   ...the fight isn't over yet?   

Endgame

In this moment, the announcement begins to blare, and almost all of the combatants got into the teleporting circle. Even Gregoria and the Empress. The Vanilla Gang's spaceships, along with Clarilú, Pipo and Loli, returned flying to the Yamato.

The Mutant Child was about to chase the Carnifex to the hive, but shortly after he saw the giant spaceship charging a shot, and decided to jump all the way to Hub Centralis.

Inside of the ship, everybody was watching the scene of the bosses returning to the hive, while Enzo and Pampín are still helping to charge the WMG.


Tropique

Mark jumps high on the air, and kicks back the ball with a powerful volley shoot!

Three freaking ghosts!

Obsidio rolled his eyes, wondering why he even bothers.

"If we fight you, will you then leave?" The career demon asked, aware that this odd (and quite possibly mentally…not proper) lady seemed to want a fight like he wanted a milksteak ham egg and cheese on a roll with a side of beans and eternally tormented souls. That was to say, a lot.

Yes, it perhaps would be far easier for Obsidio to pack it up and find somewhere else. But, he would admit with a faint grin, the fella from the underworld was quite stubborn, much more than he would like to admit but would nonetheless. And plus, this was…kind of fun?

With great power…you know the rest.

Battle

"Well, you little bitch coward? Gonna run in fear from a few bugs? Fat load of good those fancy mind powers did you!" Wriggle shouts as the hive queen and the remaining forces begin retreating in the direction of the volcano. The Supreme Exemplar tears into the encroaching forces like a scythe through wheat, but there still always seems to be more.

"Damn. If even one of these things remains alive, the ecosystem could be destroyed beyond repair..."

   "AS HILARIOUS AS THAT WOULD BE, I THINK OUR FRIENDS ARE ALREADY ON THE CASE! WATCH THE SKIES, MISS WIGGLE!"   

She lifts her eyes skywards as the Yamato points its prow at the Hive. "I see... they're going to level the Hive and all it contains... Us included, if we don't get the memo." She uses her Phase Distorter thing to dismiss the Supreme Exemplar.

   "OOH, SCARY SCARY!"    the buzzing voice in her head says, dripping with irony.

"Indeed. I for one don't intend to leave this place until I've made damn sure every single one of these ravaging pests has been thoroughly turned to dust."

Endgame

"This doesn't make any sense..!" Wriggle muses. "Why would they retreat? Clustering themselves inside the hive will only see them all wiped out at once. Are they stupid or are they playing chess while we're playing checkers over here?"

   "AH, MISS WIGGLE! IT WOULDN'T BE FUN IF I SIMPLY GAVE YOU ALL THE ANSWERS, NOW WOULD IT?"   

"...you don't actually have a fucking clue either, do you?"

   "NOPE!"   

"In that case..." She spreads dragonfly wings as dual ovipositor blades emerge from both her hands as she charges full speed... straight into the Volcanic Hive. "Whatever dirty trick they may have up their sleeves, I'll make damn sure they never get to use it."

   "HOW VALIANT!"    the voice replies, somehow even more sarcastically than last time.    "MISS WIGGLE MAKING HER HEROIC STAND IN THE NAME OF TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND LITTLE MAGGOTS ALL AROUND THE WORLD! SOME OF THE BUGS COMPRISING HER REMOTE AVATAR MAY DIE, BUT THAT'S A SACRIFICE SHE IS WILLING TO MAKE! THEY WILL SURELY SING SONGS OF YOUR BRAVERY ON THIS DAY! IN FACT, LET ME START RIGHT NOW! BRAVE MISS WIGGLE HAD A- I RAN OUT OF WORDS. HOLD ON, LEMME TRY THAT AGAIN. 'TWAS BILLIG, AND THE SLITHY TOWES-"

Onyxis

Donte was making a few snowballs whilst she ranted and got confused why that suddenly turned into weird thumping noises. Only to witness Suzuki's furious flailing flounder.

"Quit being a whiny bitch your legs would've been shitsticks if it weren't for the big guy... Are you at a loss for words?"

He has a smug smirk whilst making more snowballs for some reason. He throws one out with seemingly a lot of force towards Suzuki, but it was a feint and no ball nor snow was thrown at all, only doing it see if she flinches.


Some Field

The man waited patiently, standing still as he clears his throat and then elaborates on her question in a casual manner.

"Name's Kanan, just some freelancer, currently don't have a client though. You just happen to remind me of a few friends I had back in the day. Anyway, you seem pretty worse for ware, need a hand?"

He took one of his hands out of his pockets and shows a small business card with actual credentials before it disappears from thin air. Either sleight of hand or magic, it was hard to tell.

She puts her hand on her chin, pondering the situation.

"I go by………"

She focuses her mind, trying to remember a key piece of information.

"Des…no that's not right…was it Rui…wait…Ba…oh yes that's right. Call me Esperer von Chikara. I have several questions Kanan, first of all, where are we?"

"Humans are too faulty to save other humans, but Inhumans can't understand humans. Is it possible to be both?"

   "I... see. Is there no other way...?"    asked Iraaxos, speaking aloud with worry in his voice for the first time in many ages. He looked down at the approaching swarm and sighed with resignation.    "I will sound the emergency evacuation. My people will be out before the gun has fired. ... I'd rather there be another way, but do what must be done, and let none stop you."   

Sandalphon created a 'bubble' of magical wood around himself and the Scorchbeast Queen, which promptly disappeared, then reappeared above the Yamato and opened up like a sprouting seed, dropping them onto the deck. He quickly took his own humanoid guise — looking to be some fae-like forest-being of bark and vine — so as not to take up too much room, as Hadraniel had previously. The Scorchbeast Queen, however, would remain as she was.

"So. That's... happening."

   "Tis' certainly a way to put it,"    Iraaxos remarked. The two stood unbothered as the Yamato dipped down, merely adjusting their footing for balance.


Endgame

Sandalphon whistled appreciatively. "I can sense it in my bones. This is some serious firepower we're dealing with here."

   "I feel it, too. An untold power on the horizon... and dare I say, a power which no mortal deserves to wield."   

"Well, have ya' seen it before?"

   "No — I was aware of the Yamato and many fights in which it has been involved, but never once has it resorted to the Wave-Motion Gun."   

"Perhaps that's just it." Sandalphon shrugged. "Maybe they know they shouldn't wield it unless they have no other choice."

   "And with everything I have seen of these mortals, that is what I hope so desperately for — that they are indeed as wise as they seem."   

"Hmmm... I get the feeling like your hope ain't misplaced, chief. Don't worry."

Ember - Merrall's Residence

"That is good at the very least.", King Harkinian says. "Should you spot any too close to the city, know that I am willing to help fight them off."

He now ponders.

"I admittedly do not know what to do now though. I should probably return to where I was before I was asked to come find you, but I do not know if there are still people there."

Cloving Street

Bismark spots her after looking around for a bit. While initially very nervous as usual, he does find that her pleasant expression helps calm his nerves. It also helps that she, appearance-wise at least, somewhat gives him Elsen vibes, which makes him feel more at ease as well. If Sachihata were here with him, he'd probably tease him about that.

...

Bismark takes a moment to push thoughts surrounding him away, then approaches Captain Allis Fleery, showing a smile of his own.

"Um, hello, miss.", he says, grateful that his voice is cooperating and doesn't sound hesitant. "I was told that maybe I could help out with something here?"


Custodium REX

Cell grins, pleased.

   "And no nagging about purifying that one."   , he chuckles to himself.

The remaining enemies then start to attack, but Cell, grinning, just waves his arm in a horizontal arc, unleashing a wave of energy around himself and his allies. Apparently he cares enough to not catch them in his attack as well. Though that attack will only be able to hold said enemies back for a moment.

Heatran keeps the lava wall up for now. Dividing its attention when unnecessary would only cost it valuable energy.

Thankfully, the enemies can't immediately get to Heatran thanks to Cell.

SA-X

Enamorus notices Maou preparing something big. And since she wants to make this heathenish, corruptive creature to be utterly destroyed, she decides to help make things easier for Maou.

She stops spinning and lands behind the SA-X, after which she tries to trap it in a psychic hold, which would make it an easy target.

Distraction Carnifex

Mew now starts to fly around a little, absorbing the psychic aura it was expelling, and-

Mew surrounded itself with its Z-Power!

Oh dear.

It may not be immediately attacking Distraction Carnifex, but unless its rage utterly blinds it, the creature should likely notice that Mew is preparing for something very powerful.

Queen of Blades

Manaphy looks confused as to why Kerrigan is retreating. Since it's much too slow to keep up with Kerrigan, it instead starts casting Aqua Rings around its nearby allies, trying to give them some minor (but multiple-turn-lasting) healing.


Tide of Flesh - ENDGAME

Cell looks up upon hearing Samus' message, but he just laughs.

   "Oh, please. Do you know who I am? Throw out whatever that ship can muster, I'll leave with nothing but scratches on my perfect body."   

... well, he made his choice. He powers up, getting ready to fight the descending shadows of his incoming enemies once more.

Heatran also overhears Samus' message... but it stays standing in its spot, continuing to pump energy into the lava wall.

Is it saying it's willing to stay behind to keep their enemies locked in, even if that means it'll die along with them?

Enamorus, while still trying to get her psychic hold over the SA-X, then overhears Samus' message. Figuring that this creature will suffer under whatever the giant ship is planning, she chooses living over revenge, and as such ceases her attack and flies up to the Yamato.

Mew, before it has a chance to unleash its devastating Z-Move, then hears Samus' message, and luckily Mew is not so angry that it's become unreasonable.

Its dispels its Z-Power and quickly flies towards Manaphy, grabbing it and teleporting into the Yamato with it.

Enamorus, Mew and Manaphy are now safely on the Yamato.


Pseudo's Base

"What is that?", Toa Helryx asks as the Yamato starts charging up.

"If I were to guess, their secret weapon.", Pseudo says, looking and sounding awed. Pilly and Weber look at him, but before either can speak up, Helryx asks the question they both also had on their minds.

"The Defense Federation has a superweapon that we didn't know about? That you apparently did know about?", she asks, not looking too happy.

"It came up during the treaty talks between me and Samus Aran. ... well, to be frank, she only hinted at it, as she tested my character. But I had enough of an inkling about the subject that it's not all too surprising that they actually possess the superweapon in question."

He then raises an eyebrow.

"Now, why that tone? The Defense Federation is our ally. Them having such a weapon is only a good thing for us."

"... I am aware of that.", Helryx says before looking back at the screen. A silence hangs in the room for about ten seconds before Pseudo, as he turns back to the screen too, speaks up once more.

"We don't have the same standing in this world as the Order of Mata Nui has in yours. As much as you would want it, we cannot control the resources our allies possess, and we cannot decide on how those resources are used."

Helryx says nothing, but her eyes slightly narrowing betrays that Pseudo hit it right on the mark. While of course accepting things as they are, she personally doesn't like the lack of control she has over something so devastating. Helryx was never one to fully trust any but the closest of her allies, and while she's aware that the Defense Federation is on their side, the thought that they could potentially be at their mercy one day keeps bothering her.

Pseudo pays close attention as well, the glow of the charging superweapon being reflected through the screen and onto his eyes. He wants to see the full power of this weapon in action. If the Yamato can actually wipe the entire continent clean in a single go, it may be one of the strongest weapons in the Arena that Pseudo is aware of. ... perhaps even the strongest.

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
