Cirno be like "homework is boring, let's watch the new distraction"

"Ooh! Ooh! I wanna see! Show me!"


Lunagaron gets onto all fours. Its ice armor is shattered, its claws broken, and now it stares down something bigger and badder.

It's not going down without a fight.

Lunagaron leaps onto the Big Bad Wolf and starts clawing at him with one arm while clinging to him with the other.

Target Lunagaron -> RT

He lazily swats it away with a paw, then rushes it down and pins it down. It manages to kick free and rushes back, building up frost breath.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Eventually, the Ice Wolf Wyvern exhales a plume of icy mist, only for the ice to be immediately blown away by a gale-force wind emanating from the Big Bad Wolf! It disperses the ice, then starts pushing Lunagaron back. Lunagaron digs its claws into the ground to try and keep its footing, but the torrent of wind does not cease until the Fanged Wyvern is finally blown down to the ground! The beast tumbles across the pavement, racking up more injuries as it goes, until it comes to a stop.

Ⓧ [That's enough]

Ⓑ [End it]

Bigby hesitates to make his decision.

"Ok. I don't think we can find a dummy so probably a tree." she says to his instruction. Then when he offers a demonstration and Cirno jumps on it she nods as well. "Her patterns are always colorful so I'm curious how yours are gonna look."


Azura

Murasa can tell she's doing magic when her shoulder feels a bit weird.

"Hehe, don't worry about needing magic. I've gotten better at keeping myself solid. Don't worry about the terms either, scholar types back home argue about whether phantom, ghost or vengeful spirit are more appropriate terms for each of us all the time. Personally I don't care too much." Murasa says, chuckling. "And yeah, probably not gonna join your church either but good luck in your own work!"

The White Werewolf stares at the nameless Garou like he's crazy. Overdramatic much?

He then turns to look back at Bigby and seems confused. What is he waiting for? Why isn't he killing the enemy yet?

Judge, slightly glowing and standing in the doorway, flips his coin up.

"Heads or tails, what'll it be?", he whispers.

"The result decides the poor beast's life."

The coin lands in his hand, which he then opens. The result is...

A powerful aura emanates from Judge, and Bigby will feel compelled to let Lunagaron go.


"Yes, I will put in some more research from now on.", Drill Knight says as he and the other knights are back on the ground, with Hive Knight landing with the Deliderp, and the now blue Mole Knight getting out of the water.

"It's rather odd. The boy I got this map from said that this treasure would lead us to riches. He didn't mention that those artifacts are cursed."

-

Loki will vaguely be able to see a humanoid shape from behind. He won't be able to make out much in terms of details, their large black and red feathered wings covering their sides. Loki will be able to make out their red hair though, as well as a strange, glowing halo above their head.

The person moves a little to look back slightly, meaning they might've noticed Loki.

"Don't let her have both artifacts at the same time.", they suddenly say to Loki. Their voice sounds androgynous.

They then turn away from Loki again, seemingly looking at the orb Iris is in as Amaterasu and Thor approach it.

"Oh. Too late."

-

Judging by the silhouetted shape in the orb of light, Iris is turning to look at Thor and Amaterasu while they approach...

Her hand suddenly shoots out of the orb, snatching the Necklace. As soon as that happens, the orb turns dark and dissipates, revealing Iris right after she's put on her necklace... but she doesn't look quite like herself.

pseudo Navitus

She's taller, about as tall as Thor himself now. She has four wings now. Her wings and hair, the latter of which has grown longer, glow with a golden light.

The most concerning detail about her current state of being though, is that her eyes are now also glowing golden, lacking any white or pupils within. Not to mention the rather disturbing glare they're showing.

"A... agh..."

There's a creepy ethereal echo to her almost pained-sounding voice. Both the Necklace and Staff are fully enveloped in the same golden light.

"Hgggghh..."

Iris raises the hand holding the Staff, then swings it, suddenly unleashing a torrent of flames all around her. These flames are much more powerful than Iris' usual flames, so they may just force Thor and Amaterasu to back off onto land again.

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

Ah, my apologies, I wanted to avoid any... awkwardness. I am glad nonetheless, to have met you! I grew further, and with this new knowledge on computers, I've surpassed my past self! Thank you! She bows politely, then look up, get up, and suddenly look down.

Ah! And was your... surf on the web sufficient at answering your questions?

She glance elsewhere, to the owner, who enthuiastically flash two tumbs-up.

Seeing you work on that website would've given me a raging erection if I had been a guy!

P-please remain silent from here on now.

...

Around that part of Hub Centralis, there seems to be a sort of lemonade stand going around. A closer look will reveal it to be closer to a crêpe stand, though, with the appropriate ingredients and tools scattered around. There's several small tables left in front of the stand, and one can get themselves plastic plates and forks/knives before eating, alongside napkins.

There's two cooks: one is a tall man with long pretty red-hair, noticeable cheekbones, a green tunic with a white apron, a chief hat and gloves greeting the clients, taking their commands and then giving away the treats, along with a flier dedicated to the church of Gor, which is apparently what people need to take along with the crêpe.

And no throwing it away! The man advises. He has white bandages over his eyes, and a chin that'd cut through steel. His tunic has short sleeves, revealing a lot of spooky plant tattoos coiling all around his forearms. We're giving food away for free! So please, do take some of your time to see our cause for yourselves! It's only fair.

Hell yeah! Behind him is The Man's Who Face Is Veiled, who's wearing his usual biker gear and helmet with a bigger chef hat and a yellow apron. He goes around the small kitchen, encased in white walls, skillfully making up the crêpes and using his golden flames of annihilation to cook 'em right up, before covering them in sugar or strawberry jam or nutella or Wow! I guess I've figured out how some of those mortals get so damn fat now! Fatty fat fat!

Sh!

Oh right, Loki, sorry. Erm! Command 7 is a go

There's plenty of people walking in. It's free crêpes, after all, and past the initial phase of waiting for someone to keel over from poison, everybody has decided to just get themselves served. And though only a few clients do read the fliers in full, at least some don't immediately throw them away after leaving...

"Patterns?"

Whatever. Let's see... slide down impact force, slide up performance. Widens his stance and lets his power aura flare up, turning gold, then red as he Primals up. Wind picks up

He raises his hands and holds them a bit on front of himself, one to his one-o-clock and the other at his eight.

"Ka..."

Rotating them inwards, his his wrists meet just in from of himself. His fingers curl up.

"Me..."

Pulling them back, he places his hands by the side of his hip. The palms separate a bit, as if miming holding a sphere. The wind picks up further, the ground shakes.

"Ha...!"

Blue sparks flicker in and out between his hands, before exploding into existence as a roiling ball of blue energy - ki. His aura also pitch shifts blue, cold heat radiating off of him.

"ME...!"

Oca turns, facing the sky, and... "HAAAAA!"

Hub Centralis

Both Corva and Mahke curiously approach the stand in search of crepes. Although they've been there for only a few minutes, their hunger starts to get the better of them. Curse their high metabolisms! Curse them!

After bowing, Corva greets the owners of the crepe stand. "Hi! How much for a crepe?"

Mahke mumbles, "We're n-new here... Can you tell us what this strange place is about?"

Greenin Tidy Wit It

The initial forward force began to fall, being mowed down on both fronts by Rotgut in the back and the Walmart brand hog riders in the front. But as their army dwindled down to about half of what it had been, one Legionnaire in particular began picking up the pace, stabbing through each enemy he faced: No matter it be a Big Un, Boar Boy, or even a Black Orc, his spear found purchase with the back in his hand and the tip on the other side of whichever soldier was unlucky enough to face him.

This man was the captain of this particular branch of legionaries, and though he was identical in appearance to his subordinates, his equipment was forged with much more care and he had been born with a much higher amount of Ichor in his body, making him superior to his brethren in just about every way.

Though protocol dictated that he was to blend in with the others so as to avoid detection and being singled out, he could bear to see his brothers die no longer. The Centurion had begun to fight, and show his fullest capabilities. Whereas his soldiers were confined to their weapons, he had brute strength and sheer speed to offer, being able to go toe to toe with the average Black Orc even without his spear, armor, and shield.

While his men died around him, he did his best to halt the invasion, using his spear to liberate his enemies of their bodily appendages on each swing and internal organs on each thrust. With his shield in front of him, he'd make great leaps into the chests of larger enemies and reduce them into explosions of gore and wayward limbs.

But in spite of all his fighting, he knew that he, too, would soon die. This war did not seem like one he could win, but he fought all the same to not only prove himself, but to the One Who Looks West. So that when he dies, he may bathe in the eternal kingdom of Mildenhall, promised only to men who die for noble causes.

Meanwhile, while the slave soldiers were ripped to shreds by the hounds and Cazdathos, faint specks of light began to appear in the sky. Those specks would grow larger and larger until they became shining orbs, akin to stars, and from within them boxy dropships with black coloration emerged. This was tbe first wave of reinforcements, and they hovered about in the sky, searching for optimal landing spots.

But the dropships weren't all that emerged: Sleeker, flatter vehicles shot out and flew closer to the ground, firing explosive plasma bolts at the Greentide below, focusing on three specific zones to clear them of enemy soldiers for the dropships.

With great power…you know the rest.

While Thor does hear the mention of a boy who gave the Hexcavators a map to the artifacts, the situation with Iris understandably prevents from asking about it for now.

"Oh, no..."

Acting fast, he begins rapidly spinning Mjolnir in front of himself to keep the torrent of flames at bay as it drives him back.

"Iris, stop!"

"Damn it..."

Loki, or rather the illusory copy he'd sent to investigate the stranger, looks at the scene playing out before turning to the newcomer.

"Perhaps this ought to wait until after the situation is resolved, but I don't know if you intend to stay around afterwards," he says. "So, tell me, who exactly are you and how do you know about the artifacts? Or is the fact that you aren't our enemy all I need to know right now?"

The real Loki, meanwhile, calls out to his brother.

"Thor, it's the artifacts! Take one of them and she'll snap out of it!"

With that knowledge in mind, Thor immediately takes to the air, soaring above the flames before touching down beside Iris. He then swings his hammer at the Staff in the hopes of knocking it out of her hands.

"Release my friend from your grasp!"

Yes! Kill it! Rend the flesh from its bones! Do it! Do it! Do it! Yell the nameless Garou, howling at the sheer joy of the oncoming slaughter!

...

It's free, Loki refrains himself from sighing, as he taps several signs next to him with a long crooked finger.

ITS FREE

NO SERIOUSLY

DONT BELIEVE IT?!! ASK ME!!! (picture of Loki smiling) (do not ask me but yes it is free)

NO CASH

NO MONEY REQUIRED

NOTHING TO GIVE AWAY

THE FOOD IS FREE

TAKE THE FLIER WITH YOU THOUGH!

TAKE THE FLIER PLEASE!

THE FLIER IS HOMELESS AND WILL DIE WITHOUT YOU!

Drawing of an hand receiving the flier and a crêpe along with it, with an arrow poiting to the hand with "YOU" on it.

Something does shine in Loki's... bandages as he sees two nameless, unknown, so easily confused and misled newcomers. Oh, how he'd just love to send them to their doom! But...

Order your crêpes and sit down, we'll have a talk. He says, his gaunt figures lightning up oh so subtly. It's free, guarantee, to make you happy... but maybe not too healthy.

Damn it that isn't a part of the slogan Loki! yells the Man.

...

Sarah smiles and attempts to throw a punch to start things off, very briefly activating Limit Breaker to give herself a lot more oomphs and speed for a moment. She attempts to smack Oca out of the area and kilometers away into the sky! And if he's thrown that far...

Several Sarahs fly to meet him, about ten of them, all converging on him at the same time, each ready to throw a punch!

"It's no big deal. Was nice meeting you too." Murasa says, smiling. "Yeah, I think I got the gist. Might show up to your big event, though with how hectic this place seems to be sometimes don't know if I'll get dragged into some mess by then." She then makes a mildly uncomfortable face at what the owner had to say.

Cirno stares at the beam. "Whoa..."

She's not as impressed as she could be. Probably because she has her own thing-that's-basically-kamehameha, but she's saving that for later.


Fate has been decided.

Ⓧ [That's enough]

Bigby snarls out a final warning.    "I'm giving you one chance to get lost, or I'll take the big guy's advice."   

(he means big as in muscular, not literally large)

Lunagaron doesn't exactly understand the meaning of that last part, but it certainly does get the message. It turns and limps away into the night.

Bigby huffs and puffs, and shrinks back down all the way into his initial human form. "And don't come back."

He pulls out a pack of cigarettes labeled with the brand Huff & Puff, popping one out of the box with a single flick of his wrist and taking it.

Alexa sighs with relief.


As Iris starts to change, Amaterasu jumps to the shore and turns to face her.

"Ammy... I think you goofed."

She draws two vertical strokes, casting Deluge to counter Pseudo-Navitus's flames with divine rain. How is it raining underground? Ammy's a god.

Elsewhere far away, the dark knight Odio pauses in the middle of slaughtering innocents as he senses something.

   "Hate... I feel a hate. Hate that knows no target. Hate that will consume all in its path."   

He lowers his head and grins, then turns and delivers a Finishing Stomp to Kirike.    "Perfect hate."   

He darts off in a streak of shadows...

"Whoof!" he says, pretty much instantly dropping to his base form. "Makes sense, a straight beam's not exactly complicated to come up with. I think doing it with ki is probably the most versatile, because you can just. Change shit based on how you do it, y'know? A magic beam like a Master Spark" how does he know about that "usually needs specific variations to be put together with theorycraft and putting together the way the spell works and how much energy it takes in and outputs in your head and shit and if the way it works is 'convert how much energy you pump into the spell into a beam' that's just a plain Kamehameha with extra steps. And I think it's even more obvious that modifying an attack from a machine needs a lot of prep work. In contrast, I can decide basically on a whim how I want to mess with the Kamehameha I'm using."

"Boop!" he says, blowing up a nearby tree with a significantly less impressive Kamehameha that he just kind of throws out in like a second.


Sarah I think you forgot you were fighting regular, non-future Oca. Who wasn't transformed. And you used Limit Breaker.

He doesn't go flying because her fist just goes straight through his torso. Instantly, he stops powering up, just sort of going limp as he's held up by her arm.

The White Werewolf looks perplexed. After all of that, Bigby's just letting that thing go!?

He stomps over to Bigby, glaring down at him and growling dangerously.

"Let's not let things spiral out of control.", Judge mutters as he raises his index finger, the top of said finger glowing. Now, despite it still being nighttime, Louis transforms back into his normal self. That doesn't make him any less irritated, but in this state he can't really do anything to Bigby.

To be fair, he's definitely too confused about why he's back to normal during nighttime to even consider picking a fight with Bigby anyway.

"... so. Investigating werewolves, huh?", he asks with gritted teeth, sounding annoyed. He starts putting his glasses back on.


They slightly turn their head towards Loki again, though yet again keep their face covered with their wing.

"You don't know who I am?"

The way they asked that seems to suggest that Loki should know who they are.

"... no. I suppose that makes sense.", they then follow that up with. "Well, it's not important anyhow."

The being suddenly seems alert, as if having sensed something.

"... something is coming. Get your allies ready to flee."

The Hexcavators look alarmed when Iris becomes corrupted by her own fury. Amaterasu's divine rain weakens Iris' flames enough to ensure they aren't much of a threat anymore.

Drill Knight frantically looks around, trying to think of something he can do. He then gets an idea.

"RAAAAH!"

With a chilling screech, Iris goes for a counter-swing against Mjolnir. But the weapons would not connect, because Drill Knight launched his drill towards her, with the Deliderp sitting on top of it. It hits her in the side and stuns her, allowing for Thor to knock the Staff out of her hands.

The Deliderp jumps up as that happens and catches the Staff, then nimbly lands on the ground. With it being immune, the Staff calms down. And with that, the Necklace does too.

Iris takes a few steps back, holding her head while letting out painful grunts. The anger is beginning to leave her again, visualized through her golden aura beginning to dissipate. She's already starting to change back a little, judging by her pupils returning. The echo is also fading from her voice.

The Hexcavators are relieved.

"Your friend is changing back, right? That was close.", Hive Knight asks.

They get their crêpes full of syrup and fruit, as asked, and when they sit down at their table, they'll see Loki, who is sitting cross-legged on a third chair. He also has a crêpe for himself, and the same tunic but without the "chef" elements, with big neat sunglasses.

If they look back, they'll see that Loki is still back there. Somehow.

Well you're either shit out of luck or about to swim in fortune but, it's funny, either can switch at any time! So! You better ask every question possible, he's much more energetic than usual, but still slightly subdued, munching on his food with one hand and pointing with the others. I'll answer them.

Haha, yes, answer them.

Binary Billy deflect the first shots, but two of them hit them right in the face, stunning and knocking them over. Well, or breaking their spine, because they stand there, upper half snapped back, with the legs still standing. Panicked, Binary Billy begins to run at Kiryu, while the upper body grabs at the air, apparently having entered a sort of exposed phase.

To hit for, of course, massive damage!

Breathing a heavy sigh of relief, Thor offers Drill Knight a thankful nod for his intervention -while simultaneously answering Hive Knight's question - before moving to support Iris.

"Odin's beard, you had me worried," he says. "But it's alright now, Iris. You didn't hurt anybody, Loki's advice saw to that."

Loki can't help but proudly smirk just a little.

Loki's illusory copy raises an eyebrow.

"We've met before, you say... Areui? His best friend? His brother? One of the Divine Guardians, perhaps?" he inquires. "If you're going to be helping us, I'd prefer to call you something other than 'mysterious stranger'."

Then the newcomer tells him that the group should flee.

"So much for things winding down..."

Loki approaches the others.

"As much as I hate to disrupt a touching moment, we need to leave. Something less than benevolent is coming this way, and I doubt anyone here is in the mood for yet another battle."

Thor casts a wary glance at his brother.

"Are you certain?"

"Our mysterious ally was kind enough to warn me ahead of time. Now, let's move," he replies. "We can talk amongst ourselves and recover after we're rid of this unwanted arrival."

Nodding, the god of thunder moves to scoop Iris up in his arms.

"There should be a lift to the surface not too far from here. Everyone, follow me!"

He takes to the air and flies off towards the nearest lift.

Loki hurries after his brother, drawing Nightbane once more just in case.

"Manipulating light comes naturally to all three of us so adjusting attacks using it isn't too hard. Though we're each limited to a specific kind, it's why I need the moon out to use mine. Otherwise I just have my sound powers."

The rest of the beam that's escaped their palms is absorbed into him. Strangely, if Oca were to sense him, it would be like sensing himself. William recognizes this ki signature from that one Taro fight, so he's left curious then floats towards Oca .

"Light amplifications by stimulated emissions of radiation are cool. Traveling at mundie max speed makes them pretty hard to react to normally. Tends to need stupid power drain to get strong enough to hurt high tier fighters tho."

"Uh because I'm fucking smart."

they don't know his universe is a crossover

He raises an eyebrow when his beam gets shwucked up instead of blaring off into space, but like, whatever. Shit happens.

With all the writhing and thrashing, Megan had to make a choice — and rapidly. In the end, she decided to leave her sword embedded in the beast, letting the poison soak deeper as it remained. She disengaged her boots' climbing claws, and leaped away from the dragon. As she hung in the air, she took a breath and fired off a volley of four shots at it.

Planned or not, taking a fall like that held an element of primal fear. Megan's concentration lapsed for a split second, and a terrified scream escaped from her lips as she glimpsed how far she was from the ground. Luckily, her training kicked in at the last moment.

She hit the ground rolling to absorb the impact, battered, bruised, but alive. She steadied herself with a deep breath and reached to her back, grabbing the haft of her axe as she readied herself to make a counterattack.

"NP."

Lutemis manages to crash through the wing membrane, with perhaps a bit more resistance than expected but nevertheless. Owie is done. The four shots bang off its head, though one hits it in the eye, causing another growl of anger.

The pain begins to fade into the background - the delivering implement still being present keeps it up and it still burns, but GD starts to focus himself through it. His senses are still mostly compromised, but he still has something amounting to sight.

And, more pressingly; with focus, come his psychic abilities.

"...!"

It whips around, and plunges its claws through the air like a five-pointed javelin barrage straight at Lutemis. Or rather, where the dragon will be in a few miliseconds, leading the hit...

Only, whether or not it could have been countered or avoided becomes irrelevant, as Timestop slams into the Green Death's metapresence and freezes it in place for the rest of this round and the start of the next. This should make Reyna's landing a mite easier.

"Hey, I think you guys proved that its eyes aren't stupid durable for no reason, right? I think I've got a plan. Any launching abilities?"
