Bass tries to get back up, and actually gets back on his feet... but then his eyes start showing static.

"... I... hate... all of you."

Cue him collapsing, deactivated. Back in the base Wily begins to panic, seeing as he now no longer has a visual feed of what's going on there.

"Glass Man, prepare to retrieve Bass immediately!"


Golden Freddy now proceeds to turn into a giant head before ascending with Ninten and Alt.Gregory hanging off of it. Gregory's expression at this point can only be described as a silent 'what the fuck is my life'.

Giegue, meanwhile, looks frustrated with the seeming lack of success of his Magnet. He glances at Baiken when she advises him though.

"That sounds like it might work. Let's give it a try.", Niiue says. Giegue simply nods and begins to move, dragging the PSI Magnet along.

"I must admit... this is a lot of energy.", he groans to himself, wincing a little.

"... hey, are you okay?"

-

As Giegue begins to move around, Golden Freddy makes it up high enough. Alt.Gregory is holding on for dear life.

"So now what do we do!?", he asks.

"As you said, we gotta get through to her.", Ninten responds.

"Yeah, but... how?"

Ninten ponders. If it wasn't for the sphere of psychic energy requiring Giegue's attention, he could've tried sedating her with the aura from his presence as well.

... well, no point in mulling over what could have been right now. They have to get Delilah's attention. Ninten tries to make a psychic connection with her, sending a mental hello her way. Her immense psychic power, as well as the moving Magnets, would ensure that this connection would break almost immediately, but as long as Delilah at least hears him and looks their way, that should be good enough of a start.

holy shitttt haha Lokeeve laughs to herself in her thoughts as Adam attempts to cut the ring open, running in mid-air at insane speed to try to carve the bubble open, dragging Gram alongside the surface of the bubble, its energy concentrated around the blade as an aura.

His goal is to carve the bubble open to split a path open, with Lokeeve deciding to watch. You should hang back, she warns the Fna Fans. He'll open a way up for you but you should be careful about waiting until its done.

...

Azura dispels the bow, the chaotic energy swirling over her head and then becoming a halo of a sort behind her, hovering in place as she runs straight to Luin.

Aware that Luin and her mount are probably less efficient together, and daring the risk of Lutemis going into a rampage, Azura grabs a random leaf from the ground and imbues it with Life Magic, allowing it to grow and grow and grow into a full on liana, which she attempts to throw at Luin's waist. Then, running to the side, Azura attempts to yank Luin out of her mount, although she'll stop short if she sees that doing so could split her in half or something.

After all, would it be surprising if she took measures to keep herself on her rampaging monster at all times?

If she can't, Azura attempts to imbue the liana with her psychic energy, attempting to have it reach Luin to put her to sleep.

Seasons of the Sands

Cryoph couldn't help but... Agree. Not all vanguards were up to snuff. Which once more confirmed the people it was resurrecting were not always skilled warriors... Or at the very least competent. But URKEL had shown he was willing to work for the sake of the Arena. He was willing to throw down with a horde of Greenskins and allies. Could they have taken them on? Yes... But this was a matter of time. Doing it quickly would ensure the forces of Malal or Chaos didn't get a chance to use a Warframe to their advantage.

"I... Understand. But as we are we can't lone wolf this... You're strong... But you're not invincible. I can resurrect you yes so technically you're immortal but... I just..."

There was the sound of gunfire against the walls... With Cryoph looking confused for a second. He paced around as the sounds of ammunition sounded more like the pitter patter of hail than any sort of typical round.

"...We keep moving."

As for the rest of them, Wurrzag seemed weary, his staff flickering into green flame repeatedly as the Grineer fighters above them were obviously firing at something beyond their point of view.

"It ain't natural... Whatevuhs goin on iz strange... Like dem spiky Boyz..."

The Eximus nodded, about ready to make her own point before there was a great set of explosions behind them, and both URKEL and Sebastien suddenely felt their bodies swell with light, as Sebastien was suddenly gifted with a luxurious cape, which while worn with age from the eons was still rich with detail and prestige.

And it's name, he could immediately recognize:

''He does not serve.''

Which could be distracting enough except for the fact there were banshee like wails coming from where he had set up the trip mine. And the screaming of octolings, Grineer, and Greenskins in a blind rage. The MOA continued running forward, till it finally came to the end of the alleyway. And before them was a great metal fortress, imposing and simultaneously seemingly made of craggy stone and scrap metal. The Lone Centurion could come to the side...

Attacked by beings who had once been dead. They all were of different shapes and sizes, but they were shadows of men, Greenskins, gerudo, even machine. Almost all of them bore devices constructed from crystalline or ceramic material that resembled natural or fossilized bone. They bore twisted and asymmetric symbols that seem to distort and shift under the light. Many possessed circlet crowns of black, flexible material, steeped with psy-power and ornamented with curling projections on the outer surface. They were a collective of dead matter — some more mummified than others. These corpses were held together by ribbons and arcs of crackling black energy, the air around them charged with constant flashes of midnight electricity and the smell of burning flesh. Acting as a single mass, the corpses at the front formed a cloud of grasping, clawing hands and mouths that whirls through the air.

The flanks were comprised of those fashioned from bruised purple crystal and shifted to the the size of a large dog. With twelve legs and a tiny central body they scuttled about with alarming speed. Trying to nab at Black Osv Orruks and Sunchaser Gobbos with a set of needle-like mandibles. Those in the rank and file were armed with what appears to be an arcane joining of uncharted sciences that verge on magic. It has no discernible mechanism. But in the hands of the pitch black and shadowy white warriors it generates bolts of Void.

The Siege Engine was within this fortress under fire. The rest of the group saw Wyverns and Bat-Riders fly over there head, as Salmonid transports were setting up defenses before them.

Two entrances. One under siege. One with those ready to attack first.


The Wild Hunt

Suddenly Roco's eye stalks had the talons set around them like car mirror ornaments, and his neck was wearing the waistline bead skirt. As soon as he did there was a figure that flew over... Raptorial yes. But off. Like it wasn't a traditional great eagle or hawk. But as it passed over, the tall grass they stood in suddenely moved as if a strong wind had come in.

and So it begins.

The figure flew back over head, dropping a flaming branch into the grass. The area around them began to ignite, as paths opened with their surroundings, the fire quickly spreading. And with an audible dispersion of force the shadow loomed over them. It had long Red-Tail Hawk tail feathers, but the rest of it's body was barely hawk like at all. In fact it even seemed vulturine.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/warhammer_40k_dark_millennium_hawk_like_monster_madureira_color_m.jpg

And it's eyes caught glimpses of them, and for a brief second it seemed to be measuring them up. Before it spread it's wings, as silently it dove in for the kill, with the flame roaring around them.

Azura sits down, feeling a bit curious about the shape her food will have. And maybe a bit embarrassed but she shows it less, looking off strong and stoic before sitting down to look back at Simon. She decides to keep his mention for later since, as far as she's concerned, people go to restaurants to take their minds off a bit about things.

Well sometimes they do meetings there too to talk precisely about things but hey.

I tend to prepare my own food indeed, she says, missing (?) his point. Great Gor would have us feed ourselves this way. But I've been of much help to the cause recently. And by these same standards, am allowed to indulge myself. Smiling, she prepares to say more but listen to the full-blown rant nearby, raising an eyebrow at the mention of God...

But ignoring it. The man didn't seem like he'd be in the mood to listen.

Psychic Mechanical Implement: R-7039 and its ship, the GYIYG-1 (On a mountain in Reprium)

After releasing those Beams, now R-7039 just had to wait for someone to show up. Someone would, right?

Well... there were indeed waves of psychic energies being received in return. Detecting such energies was probably the only psychic chip that hadn't broken in the crash landing. It was certainly a faint signal, moreso than usual... Wasn't getting any stronger, either.

R-7039 would soon realize that the energy was (seemingly) coming from right where the GYIYG-1 had just departed. By the time the ship would have arrived back in Hub Centralis, they'd be gone.

WELL THAT WAS COMPLETELY USELESS
The robot spoke through the voice box, even though nobody else was around.

The two jannies arrive just in time to see Izawano just sit there in pain. Both of them chatter again, slowly yet coldly averting their gaze from the Jedi's suffering.

"Is that thing gonna die?"

"Just wait till she arrives, who cares if it dies anyways."

"This sucks..."

"But what can we do? They've been alive long enough to know they're inherently if they didn't get it cleansed at birth."

After this point their chat becomes a bit more muddled, with a stronger familiar-sounding voice calling out to Izawano in seemingly all directions, he could probably notice that this is long-range telepathy given a moment.

   "...Hey!...Hey!... Do you still remember me? If so, great! But please don't listen to them and just hold out a little bit longer!"

Wild Hunt

The Beneril trio immediately turn alert with the arrival of this new enemy. They look back at their blazing surroundings, then forward just in time to see it swoop down.

"Ellder, get on top of it!"

"Yes!" Ellder jumps up and holds out the neck of his whirler horizontally, hoping to bait the Feymarshall into grabbing it and lifting him up. If it falls for it, he will let go of the polearm in order to climb up the beast's leg and onto its back.


Deathmatch

Maestro stops when he sees Django grab another weapon. Rather than continue to rush in blindly, he launches another Rain Flush wave from a distance.


Esche

Where Gram passes, the bubble seems to momentarily rupture, crackling with even more unstable energy before it gets sucked into the PSI Magnet behind Adam. Together, they slowly carve open an arc in the bubble, but before they make it all the way around, more energy fills the gap they had made from behind.

Ninten finds himself in a white space with Delilah staring at him, but the mindscape is constantly bursting with audio-visual static that violates the senses. Trying to look at anything other than Delilah is like trying to comprehend the ultimate power of wallpaper Giygas - a terrible idea.

In between these horrible eruptions, Delilah manages to get out one message - a desperate shriek.

"What are you DOING here?! It's too late, you NEED to RUN!"

Then the connection is abruptly broken as Delilah, now panicking, outputs even more energy. The cutters need to go faster.

Baiken glances down at Miraidon...

Golden Dragon Standard

For the two, Jane was glad they were tok invested in catching up, in whatever it was they were talking about. Jane wasn't sure what they were supposed to be, though she would have just called it a "anime cosplay" in any other situation.

She was more a mecha and Kaiju fan anyways then a connoisseur of anime fantasy or magic girls. She took a step back as the Drink Robot came back, checking their cups for any need of refills before placing down their chow. The robot's twin feelers around it's simple curved "snout" noted their meals should be of the right temperature, and bowed to them, the many beverage making apparatuses doing excellent work to stay in place without dipping, before it sped off.

And indeed The Spicy Natto even came with some avocado to add further texture and additional spicy mayo should she wish to bring the heat. And the Pancake Dessert was given both sweet and tart berry options, with a small pither of syrup for hwr to pour.

Simon shrugged to what Azura said, looking back at his ramen bowl, noticing it was empty. He tapped his claws against the counter deck, before looking through the menu.

"Ok ok... oOoOO rose pork... Yes yes yes- Strong persoanlities!-"

Simon looks back over to her and the chef arguing with the other two.

"Well, I would probably would be offended too if I was offered a chemistry project like that and told eat it by complete strangers... I mean I've personally tried weirder but... I don't think they're too strong. Personality wise. Maybe the dudes playing cards but... Ah well. This is the most... at home I've felt in a while."

He added that with his head low a little, as Ando walked up behind them with the twins following behind, and pointed to a table, besides a few Yuanh-Kai Blossom Born, who beyond their purple fur that stuck out around their collars and shoulders, were distinct by their light colored fish-mail like scale tail and beautifully adorned by many cherry blossom pink and yellow fin-like appendages. And on the other side was a set of golden mantises, decorated in fine golden coats with piercing blue and jasmine eyes. Ando the whole while, ranting.

"I'll give you both the sushi and breakfast menu... You will see a master chef at work today. And here!"

He threw a pad of paper down for them, and a single pencil.

"Take. Notes."

Deathmatch

Glass Man warps in at the edge of the battlefield. He begins to approach... but bumps into an invisible wall that's keeping out people not involved in this free-for-all. He tries to warp inside, but that too is blocked.

"It appears I cannot reach Bass. A barrier is blocking my path.", he reports to Wily.

"What!? You can create barriers, can't you find a way around this!?"

"I could if this barrier was made of glass. I do not believe it is."

"Agh!", Wily shouts, slamming a fist against his desk. He begins to type furiously and rapidly.

"Treble is still active. I must send a command to protect Bass until Glass Man can reach him."


Psychic Bubbles

Ninten looks around within the White Space for just a moment and immediately regrets the idea. He closes his eyes and covers his ears, but he still manages to comprehend Delilah's message throughout the chaos. He tries to open one eye and look in her direction.

"We can't leave! We're here to help you-"

Even if the connection wasn't already breaking, Ninten's senses would be overwhelmed and he'd be forced out anyway.

-

Ninten opens his eyes and gasps in pain. Alt.Gregory looks concerned.

"Did it not work?"

Ninten, needing a moment to recover, isn't able to respond.

"I could jumpscare her to get her attention.", Golden Freddy suggests. Then the energy spikes even more, startling the kids.

"I feel like that would just make things go even more wrong!", Alt.Gregory comments. He pauses for a moment when he remembers something. Now holding onto Golden Freddy with just one hand, he uses his other to grab his Fazer Blaster. Unlike the main Gregory's, this one is a normal, unaltered one, meaning that it's incapable of actually dealing damage.

"Maybe seeing the laser from this thing will get her to look this way."

As Alt.Gregory thinks of his plan, Golden Freddy acknowledges Lokeeve's words with a nod. Wait patiently, then go for it. Just like back in the restaurants.

-

Giegue grunts.

"Accursed... even with that guy's help I'm too slow to make this work. And now it's spiking even mo-"

He then winces again as slight parts of his skin start to burn off of his body, a red aura seeping out of his wounds.

"Whoa, Giegue! Something's not right!"

"Agh... I'm absorbing too much psychic energy for my body to handle. Simply floating is not nearly enough to expel the excess energy."

"... Are you saying that if we take too long to succeed you'll go Giygas?"

"Either that, or I'll die from being overloaded with power."

"Well, neither of those are very fun outcomes. Here, I'll try to take some of the burden."

"Thoughtful, but this is not something the both of us can keep up for long. The others have to be seeing this too. They better come up with a plan, I don't quite have the focus to think of one myself right now."

Giegue does try to fly a bit faster, but the difference in speed is not nearly enough to be the solution they need.

I think, miss Baiken, that the solution would stand out here, hm? If they can't figure that out, Lokeeve might as well laugh at them. As for Adam, he's stubbornly going, not liking his inability to succeed alone at cutting stuff up. He's passing by the group, giving them a shot at fixing things.

"Yeah. I figured it out."

Baiken wraps her chain around Miraidon's torso, then leaps into the air just as Adam passes by. "Heads up!" She wraps her chain around Adam's torso next, going so far as to tie it, before severing the end attached to her stump with her sword. Charlie catches her before she can subsequently fall.

"Rngh... Geez, you're heavy!"

"We need to tie the cat-man to it as well."

"Gotcha." Charlie drops Baiken and casts Marionette strings from her fingers which coil around Giegue's waist, then flies over to Miraidon and weaves the strings in and out of the chain links, fastening it all in place before snapping the ends by flicking her wrists.

"... Is that gonna hold?"

"It's as strong as my will, and I've got a pretty strong will."

Miraidon shakes its head like a wet dog and stamps its feet. No one is on its back to weigh it down. It doesn't need to limit itself for a rider's safety. It can stop holding back.

It lowers itself, then rockets into the air and shifts into its Glide Mode. It flies ahead of Adam and Giegue until the chain and strings pull taut, then it keeps pulling, dragging them faster and faster.

Baiken clenches her fist and grits her teeth. At this point, all she can do is watch. "Come on... Come ooon...!"

dr. waweh. I don't believe they are going to go out of their way to murder Bass. Django and Maestro are busy with each other, while Piano is. Well. 💀

Anyways, Django DIRECTLY COUNTERS. With a wry grin, he holds his Gun del Sol up with two hands before blasting a Rising Sun Grenade up into the air! Pew...

It traces its way up into the air like a flare before bursting, flooding the area in bright sunlight that both cancels out the Rain Flush before it can hurt Django, and boosts the speed at which he recovers sun charge.

... And I guess if it actually hit Maestro it might do a little damage. I don't see how that would happen unless he like, jumped up into it tho.

It's true that they're not out to kill Bass, but Dr. Wahwee does not know that.


"Wait.", Glitchtrap says to Alt.Gregory, seeing that the boy was about to try something. "They're about to attempt something that may just work. We should let them do their thing and not risk setting the girl off with a distraction."

The fact that Glitchtrap sounds like he's taking this situation seriously is enough to convince Alt.Gregory to do as he's told. He has his Fazer blaster in hand, but he doesn't do anything yet.

"Are you okay?", Golden Freddy asks Ninten, who slowly tries to open his eyes despite the burning pain in his head.

Giegue is briefly alarmed by the sudden appearance of the strings. With the overflowing psychic energy currently in his system, he almost reacts in a hostile manner.

"It's okay, it's from that Charlie girl!", Niiue speaks up fast enough. Giegue glances back at her and Baiken for just a moment. The two immediately realize what they want to try.

"I think their plan will probably work... but I bet it's really gonna hurt you, you old 'skin and bones'."

"I've felt worse. Getting torn apart by my own energy is likely-"

Giegue stops talking when he feels his body strengthening. Defensive PSI is being cast on him. He looks back to see that Ninten, despite the very visible pain he's currently in, is casting Defense Up on him to reduce the strain of the pulling that's about to happen. Defense Up also makes Giegue's body more resistant to the psychic energy he's been absorbing, slowing down the rate at which his wounds appear.

"Hm. Despite everything, he's reliable when he needs to beeeeEEEEEEEE-"

Giegue's startled when he starts getting pulled along at insane speed by Miraidon. Niiue, meanwhile, is having the time of his life, if his excited shouting is anything to go by.

Adam is a bit more stoic about his fate, being annoyed at needing help but taking it in shocking stride, face remaining eternally frowny as he keep doing what he's doing.

As for Lokeeve, she casts a minor bout of speedy magic to speed them up along, further enhancing their speed, simply flicking her finger upwards to let it take effect and cause everyone involved to see a boost in speed. To avoid her energy being destroyed by Gram passively, she make it look like something Eve would use, which is good for her because if it had been something more...

Maestro stares up at the sunlight, watches it vaporize his rain, and calmly switches to Dawn Breaker and begins charging.


After just... a little... longer...

They break through!

A gap is carved all the way around Delilah's bubble, and suddenly the massive field of energy quietly scatters into orange particles. The girl gasps in shock, tears welling up in her eyes.

Miraidon slows down to a gentle drift. Since they no longer need the tethers, Baiken leaps up and slashes the chain before landing on its back, and Charlie dispels her strings.

That still leaves two more layers, but the new outermost layer is small enough that the Magnet doesn't even need to circle around it to absorb it fully. The final layer, on the other hand, is too powerful to absorb.

From atop the Iron Serpent's back, Baiken narrows her eyes in contemplation.

Giegue takes a moment to breathe and wince once the first bubble has been dealt with. However, this being Giegue, he chooses to ignore how he's feeling right now and gets back to business, keeping the Magnet going. If the second layer is weaker than the previous one, he may be able to take care of it immediately.

Niiue seems worried. Had he not taken on some of the burden when he did, Giegue's body may have started tearing and mutating by this point.

"She reacted to that.", Golden Freddy says. With Ninten currently not in any position to yell to get Delilah's attention, Alt.Gregory does so instead.

"Hey! Over here! We wanna help you!", he calls out.

I tire of these barriers! Adam steps up when faced with the final barrier, opting to simply slice it in half with Gram's blade. Should anyone attempt to stop him, he'll keep going. Mental and magical means will literally bounce off him and he'll keep going even should people physically try to stop him, walking his short distance unbothered.

Could his choice end up a horribly lethal decision and a sad ending to everyone's collective efforts? maybe, if it had been any hand but his. While the final barrier around her will be destroyed, her body will be intact, despite Gram obviously hitting her.

Satisfied, Adam decides to... put Gram in its sheath, good.

He's handy when he needs to. Lokeeve comments.

The second layer is sucked away, the third layer is slashed. Both leave only sparks.

Delilah looks around at everyone. The air around her is still rippling and distorting.

Charlie approaches and hovers eye-to-eye with Delilah. "Hey."

"Who are you...?"

"We're working to keep you safe. Just hold on."

The distortions turn violent, causing Charlie to 'glitch out' and get zapped back in the same way as she did before, only now she manages to catch herself in midair.

Delilah's not going to blow up, but her energy is still present and unstable. They still need to calm her down.

Giegue sees no reason to try to stop Adam (not that he's in any position to do so anyway). He figures that Adam knows what he's doing.

... he hopes Adam knows what he's doing because if he almost tore himself apart for nothing-

... oh, everything turned out fine. ... good.

With the layers all gone, Giegue can finally take a break, panting and wincing at the pain from his open wounds.

-

"Uh... this still looks kinda bad. I don't think we can get close.", Alt.Gregory says.

"Just... get us close enough so that she can hear me. I have an idea.", Ninten says, voice a little strained.

"If you're sure."

Golden Freddy starts to approach, though doesn't get as close as Charlie did. As she does, Ninten tries to focus. This won't be the first time he's had to sing while in immense pain, he's sure he can still pull this off. He motions to Giegue to warn him of what's to come, and as such the alien quickly covers his ears before Ninten starts doing his thing.

Once sufficiently focused, he takes a deep breath, and...

"Take a melody... simple as can be...~"

Alt.Gregory and Golden Freddy look at him with confusion. Why is he singing?

The song, while effective, will not be as powerful as it was back when used against Sombra. But it may still be powerful enough to get Delilah's attention and help calm her.

Delilah gasps. A flash of static, like what Ninten saw in Delilah's mind, ripples out, but only for a moment. It might stun Golden Freddy.

Baiken pats Miraidon on the neck. It nods and hovers underneath Delilah, allowing Baiken to stand up and approach her.

"Baiken..."

Another flash of static. Baiken stumbles back, but she simply walks closer again. She looks over her shoulder at Ninten. "Keep singin'!"

Golden Freddy indeed gets stunned, but thankfully she doesn't just drop out of the air because of it. Because if she did, things would end quite badly for Ninten and Alt.Greg.

Ninten, meanwhile, keeps singing.

"Give it some words, and... sweet harmony~"

"Raise your voices-"

Beat

Beat

Beat

Ninten can feel himself being stared at right now, even by Giegue and Niiue. His face turns red as a beet, after which he puts his hands on his face and groans in embarrassment. Did he seriously just have a voice crack in the middle of his song? Stupid puberty!

Delilah cracks the slightest hint of a bitter smile at the mishap, and Baiken seizes the moment. As she gets within arm's reach, Delilah's energy shatters her eyepatch-goggle, but she keeps going without so much as flinching. She puts her hand on Delilah's shoulder, then glides it up to her hair.

"So you're the one. You're in the mirror Anji was talking about."

"Big Sis..."

Baiken brings her hand back down to Delilah's shoulder. "We're going."

"Huh?"

"We're going. Together." She meets Delilah's shell-shocked stare with a warm smile. "And we'll stay together. Night and day. We'll eat and we'll laugh together. And our revenge..."

The samurai brings her arm around Delilah's side, then pulls her into a hug. "Let's give it up. Together."

Delilah's eyes finally dilate to a normal-looking size as she closes her eyes and hugs Baiken back...

And as a cold yet gentle rain begins pouring down, everything finally, completely stops.

Charlie stares on in awe and delight.

Down, down in the mountains below, the rainfall upon Bedman? pools up in its eye-hole, forming the shape of a tear down the mechanical monster's cheek.
