"That's utterly incredible," exclaimed Tarvek. "Just back in Estraole, we never found anybody using technology more advanced than that of 16th century Europeans. But this Onyxis place— You're saying the technology there is advanced enough to perfect space travel? More advanced than any known human civilization? I don't even know what to think about that!"

Dang she's fast! Yuji had expected that she'd be easy prey given that they were going 2 on one, but she seemed to be intent on putting up a fight. And Ike likewise didn't want to just up and abandon the fight they had earlier. Yuji was glad: he didn't mind being the focus of the strongest guy on the enemy team. Not because he enjoyed the challenge, but because that apocalyco sword's target was him and not someone else.

With Mareeta attacking, Yuji attempts to punch her in the head to make her at least miss the other Anna and then leap right on to Ike, arms held out. Damn right! He puts his arms up to block the blow and back off slightly but its the latter decision that saves him: Yuji is slicked from top to bottom, from shoulder to hip, and put his arms away at the last moment, leaving him with only... a huge bloody wound on his torso, one that could've been way worse had he not taken a step back.

The damage looks like it could kill a man, and Yuji indeeds seem to register this is a pretty gnarly wound, but he just glares at Ike after the initial freeze. He grabs his torn jacket, revealing his legendari-he's 15? Nevermind.

He rip off his torn jacket and toss it at Ike's face. Which could seem like a desperate gambit, but Yuji is aware of this and imbued the cloth with his Cursed Energy, visible by a slight blue wavy aura around it. It means that it's more like a direct hit to the eyes from a weapon instead of something merely meant to stunt or distract Ike: if he's careless, he might be more stunned than if he had indeed been blinded by the jacket.

Regardless, Yuji knows Ike is too badass for even a perfect scenario to be longer than a few seconds. So he digs his feet into the ground and let his Cursed Energy seep into his fists before going for a machine-gun like series of blows, aiming to impact Ike all over the chest and stomach. Visible shockwaves, capable of moving or pushing back weaker allies or enemies, would resonate from Ike as the ground at their feet repeatedly crack, forming a crater around them to complement the one made by his empowered Aether.

Gunshots-like sounds emanate from his raging fists as he attempts to overwhelm Ike with them. And then he pulls back on his arms. His regular output wouldn't work. He needs damage, for sure, but Divergent Fist wouldn't stun Ike and he knows it. So he mostly focus on pulling off mean jabs.

And maybe said focus is what truly helped him.

Because as Yuji throws his arms back, pulling them back as far as possible, his punches allow him to briefly tap into "the zone". Maybe it's desperation at needing to overcome a very strong enemy or maybe it's luck, but as he slams his fists forward.

The black sparks

dance once again

   B   

   L   

   A   

   C   

   K   

   FLASH   

Yuji's output leap by bounds as he delivers an enormously powerful strike with his fists, like a cannon, aiming to hit Ike and send him flying with such force that, were the city walls on the way, or any of the houses, Ike would be smashed through them like they're nothing but cardboard. And if Yuji's fists had directly hit them, they'd have simply been scattered to mere pieces.

The ground explodes as a singular shockwave, stronger than any of the previous ones, spurt out.

Which is probably kind of bad, so he hopes to just toss him back unto some goobers in the crowd with legitimately enough force to make him a dangerous projectile.

Should he succeed, Yuji stands there. Bloodied and wounded, for sure, but with the rise of the Black Flash, he stands more confident, with a peculiar look in his eyes.

...

Beruka sees Anankos take the hit and doesn't mind the result. What she does mind, as they discuss, is the sight of male Corrin jumping into the beam of light. He isn't "her" Corrin, and looks quite different on top of that, but she still find it a bit upsetting. How could his life have gone so bad, that he'd choose to die when given the "chance"? And why did Anankos even have Corrin with him?

Was it some kind of nasty fate that Corrin could still be vulnerable to? Or was that Corrin not as "lucky" as hers?

Either way, she's a tad bit upset to see that either way. And she glares at Anankos. The questions would come later. Right now, she was feeling like being particularly vicious with murdering him.

Keeping a cool head, and with her axe being at its most effective against the current batch of enemies, Beruka's inner boiling pressure is finely concentrated as more energy to spare in the fight against Julius's forces, once again. She comes right back down at the dragon duo, preparing to dodge their attacks if necessary.

And at the last moment, Beruka decides to step off her wyvern, jumping off it as it banks close to the ground and sliding closer to Anankos and Lilith as Minerva take off to the sky to return later. A foolish decision, that was true, but she was just feeling like sticking her axe into them up close and personal.

Not yelling, but instead frowning harder, Beruka goes for a sliding chop at Anankos and then get unto her feet, raising her axe overhead and bringing it down at him. She also move one eyelid independent of the other to stare at Lilith, as if making it clear that she's going for her too.

Perhaps she forget that she's up against two immortal dragons. Perhaps she relish in it.

...

Lucina shows a disconcerting lack of emotions when faced with Chrom's final "attempt" at crawling her way, being too conditioned to it all already. She simply raises her sword, in anticipation, then lowers it when he talks to her.

He isn't her Chrom but she does sniffs, containing her turmoil well but still needing to pause slightly. Lacking the composure to bid him farewell with words, she bows as he leave this world. At the very least, and it was a genuinely comforting thought, he was free from Grima's control and was off in a better place.

Farewell into the next world... Dad.

As Hardin comes her way, Lucina is at first not responsive, but then she raises Falchion and blocks the attack at the last moment, being quickly blown back. She eyes Chrom's last "gift" to her, hoping that an Anna will pick it up, but is unable to go and grab it now because she knows that Hardin was a powerful enemy, as he'd demonstrated tanking an attack that had incinerated others in the army.

Twirling her sword, Lucina regains her composure quickly and shove her angst aside.

I will free as many of you from your corruption as it take. Come, Hardin, Emperor or Archanea! See the power of those that came after you.

She doesn't know if he has that pesky Shadowsphere or not, but she still goes ham, moving at very swift speed as she comes down at him with a downward slash.

Pica-Verse

Leandro just wiggles out of rage.

Raid team

The group is too big to sneak around, so...

Battle time!

The hunter orders the wolf to bite the skull creature, while the hunter shots his water gun against the jellyfish.

Meanwhile, the LRRH approaches the armored creature and attempts to bash them with the basket.

...

Las Ventas (rescue)

Carolina feels all of the emotions around the place, and she does her best to stand the view of the Pica-Pica being in that situation.

She breathes deeply, channeling healing energy in her palms, and then she claps, sending them some healing waves, attempting to release them.


Gaismagorm

Pancho Pantera gives the injuried members of the party (Lulú, Maxi, Ulala, probably Blippi) some healing choccy milk. Other allies can ask for some, too!

After some preparations, the group leaps into the cliff.

Thankfully, Altzaira is now savvy to the inhale explosions and manages to retreat to a safe distance before Gaismagorm explodes like a nuclear device and plummets into the abyss below. She watches it fall to the bottom, then looks at Malzeno.

"What kind of Dragon Lord would I be if a challenge as paltry as this would give me pause?" she asks and immediately plunges into the depths, following Malzeno. "I hope you can keep this up, silver-scaled one! So far, this foul creature has proven to be but an appetizer that could hardly satiate me. The Lord of Battle's gaze is upon us! Let us not disappoint him."

Pokemon Tournament

M8R1

Well, the smile is... indeed slightly unnerving. But he doesn't let that deter him.

"I'll take that as a compliment.", he smirks happily before grabbing his Poke Ball. It looks identical to the one Rhea took out, so unless Andi knows about the whole Hisui thing she may just assume it's some regional Poke Ball.

"Now let's see how well we do!", he says before calling forth Hisuian Decidueye.


Kenneth (this is not his full name I just thought it sounded funny for him)

Ken now proceeds to take off his backpack, swiftly turn around, take something out of it without showing what it is and... seemingly put it against his mouth?

He takes a deep breath, then pockets the object again before letting his breath leave his lungs again.

"Okay... that could've been bad... but it wasn't."

He turns back around as he puts his backpack on again. He looks slightly confused.

"Thanks for waiting, but... why? For all you knew I could've pulled out a gun or something."

His confusion (and the fact he was given the requested time-out) seems to have mellowed his temper a bit. If there is any time to try to just talk him out of picking up the fight again, it's now.


Majin Gaismagorm

This time they're ready for it. The two magicians make sure to float back as much as possible to avoid the Big Succ™.

Until its face seemingly explodes and it nearly falls off of the battle arena, surprising and making the magicians pause for a moment. Is it already ready to be finished off?

...

Naturally, it wouldn't be that easy. To assume otherwise would be naive.

While the Spellbook of Power's buff wears off, the Magician of Black Chaos is still confident in his abilities. Motioning to his allies to follow Malzeno, he too follows his own advice and jumps off. Dark Magician looks back at his allies for a moment before doing the same.


Gerudo Town

"I can't tell how much damage people are getting, it's too much to keep track of.", Anna says before she decides to take no chances. Anna uses a Fortify Staff, greatly healing all allies on the battlefield!

"Honey, I can't find the Einherjar binder.", Jake calls out from in the other room.

"What!? Uh... hold on, I'll go check, keep an eye on things."

"Wait, what?", Jake asks as he runs back into the room only to get the Watch Staff shoved into his hands before Anna runs into another room.

"Wait, you know I can't use staves!"

"As long as the effect is still going just holding it will let you watch! Tell me if anything important happens!"

"Is that Lady Rhea-wait, oh no!"

3H!Anna tries to leap to the side, but she's not fast enough to get out of the danger zone.

In a fortunate twist though, FEH!Anna suddenly leaps out of hiding, grabbing her as she attempts for them both to get further out of the way. They can't avoid being somewhat damaged as the explosion goes off behind them, but it allows them to take much less damage than they otherwise would have.

They hit the ground and quickly get back up.

"Mother, are you alright?"

"I am now. When did you get here?"

"I visited my sister yesterday, stayed the night here since the inns are free, overslept a little and woke up to the sound of all this. I can't exactly ignore when my sisters are being targeted."

"How responsible of you.", she says, tone genuine. "Now the issue is dealing with Lady Rhea."

"Fallen Rhea is powerful, but together we stand a chance against her. ... Unless she and Fallen Edelgard team up."

"Team up? Those two? Not in a million years. Let's go!"

The two Annas begin their counterattack against Fallen Rhea. 3H!Anna switches back to her bow, firing magical arrows from range while FEH!Anna runs in and attempts to deliver a powerful leaping axe smash attack.

"Maria is down. One less thing to worry about.", Clarisse thinks to herself as she tries to get back into hiding. Unfortunately Fallen Berkut notices her, and she doesn't exactly have any way to get away from a charging horse.

She raises her bow, planning to go for a desperate attempt for a mutual kill, knowing she likely won't be able to fire and dodge at the same time.

But then the Red Warp Panel appears, and while Clarisse hadn't actually seen one of these herself before, Anna had told her about how things went in Nohr. As such she doesn't hesitate to take the chance to escape from Berkut, and thus steps on it to get warped to Leah.

"Much appreciated.", she says once she gets there, then crouches and looks around for the next target, bowstring already pulled back.

"But be sure to focus on keeping our stronger allies safe. As long as they don't destroy my card, I can be summoned again later. ... and I hate to admit it, but these shoot-and-run tactics are all I'm good for in this fight."

Morgan furrows his brows.

"I... I'm not fighting against Mother here. I'm fighting against Julius. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised he didn't tell you that if I was still alive, I'd be a prisoner. After all, he's the one who tried to kill me."

Things are of course not as cut and dry as Morgan is making them out to be considering everything that's happened since then. But these hostile alternate versions of himself don't need to know the way he really feels. His anger for Julius is real, that's all that needs to be conveyed.

"Perhaps you would be better off returning to your Grima and abandon this meaningless battle before Julius has a chance to stab you in the back as well. It's your choice to make. But I'm not backing down until I get back at him."

He suddenly hops back onto Nia's back and the wyvern snarls at the Fallen Morgans. It's a warning that it will attack if they don't take the chance Morgan is giving them to leave. Just because they look like his master doesn't mean it's going to hesitate.

Champion of Beauty

Near Fallen Julia, Einherjar Oliver suddenly appears. Where did he come from?

"Now what is this? Such a beautiful tome, tainted and oozing with ugliness? Now that simply will not do, it can't be allowed. In the name of beauty, I have no choice but to claim that tome of yours and give it the treatment it so rightly deserves."

He then equips a Physic staff... and tries to outright whack Fallen Julia's Naga tome out of her hands.

Einherjar Oliver joins as an ally!

-

  • Oliver (Saint), Level 8.

  • Weapons: Nosferatu (7 Might, restores half of damage dealt), Silence (blocks enemy magic)

  • Stats: 48 HP, 22 Str, 31 Mag, 22 Skl, 20 Spd, 28 Lck, 18 Def, 32 Res

  • Skills: Corona (Negates enemy Resistance and lowers their chances of hitting for one turn)

On the edge of the battlefield, yet another person appears. This time, it's the distinctly non-Einherjar Tharja.

"H-huhuhu... so this is where I'm sensing all this dark energy from.", she chuckles in her usual creepy way. "And amidst this concoction of darkness and evil, three presences stand out. Yes... I can feel the Fell magic oozing. I'll have to find out where it comes from."

Tharja joins as an enemy!

-

  • Tharja (Sorcerer) (Non-Einherjar), Level 20

  • Weapons: Ruin (4 Might, 50 Crit), Aversa’s Night (15 Might, absorbs HP equal to half damage dealt)

  • Stats: 57 HP, 14 Str, 29 Mag, 21 Skl, 26 Spd, 16 Lck, 28 Def, 17 Res

  • Skills: Hex (Lowers enemy avoid), Vengeance (Add half of damage taken to attacks)

  • Recruitable

But amidst all of this chaos, the worst is still about to happen.

Julius and Ishtar suddenly warp onto the battlefield.

   "Remember, my dear Ishtar. Annas are worth double points."   , he chuckles darkly.    "And if you bring me someone close to death, we can argue for a extra point as well. I'd love to have an extra blood sacrifice."   

"Of course, my Lord Julius..."

They both start moving, looking for targets.

Ishtar and Julius join as enemies!

-

  • Ishtar (Sage), Level 30.

  • Weapons: Holy Mjolnir (30 Might, +20 Skl, +10 Spd), Barrier Ring (+5 Res), Valiant Sorcerer’s Cape (+10 HP, +2 Def, +2 Res, allows for the use of Dark Magic)

  • Stats: 70+10 HP, 6 Str, 30 Mag, 27+20 Skl, 30+10 Spd, 15 Lck, 18+2 Def, 27+7 Res

  • Skills: Adept (Chance for follow-up attack), Vantage (Always attacks first)

  • Julius (Dark Prince), Level 30.

  • Weapons:    Holy Loptous    (30 Might, +5 Res, Halves all damage taken, grants Dark Blessing), Meteor (15 Might, Long Range).

  • Stats: 80 HP, 15 Str, 30 Mag, 27 Skl, 27 Spd, 13 Lck, 25 Def, 30+5 Res

  • Skills: Pursuit (Chance for a follow-up attack), Charge (When on high stamina, allows for a consecutive attack without fail), Wrath (When under half health, all attacks are Critical Hits), Nihil (Disables enemy skills), Charm (Allies near him will perform better in battle), Critical (Heightens the chance for a Critical Hit), Dark Blessing (The power of non-blessed weapons is reduced significantly)

"... ummm... A-Anna, dear? Things just got significantly worse!", Jake calls out upon spotting Julius and Ishtar.

Gerudo Town

The racing tank promptly gets flipped over from the attack and lands on its head, making its thrusters face towards Fallen Lyon. Inside, Protos!Anna drops a mag, but is otherwise alright - this type of tank is designed to withstand missile impacts, after all. Only now does she notice her new ally.

"Er, hi?"

She turns the tank around until it faces towards Lyon, and fires a pair of sticky mines, which are set to detonate in ten seconds, and make that fact known by beeping. Unless Lyon can dodge them or get them off his body quickly, he's in trouble.

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

Walmart

Nuue lets out a small sigh and stops being worried before tilting her head, which makes her antennae twitch.

"I wasn't fighting... but I'd assume it was because you looked worried."

She calmly walks forward a bit to stand closer to the group so she can... y'know, actually be heard.

"If this were an actual fight, there'd be no such time out, but..."

She shrugs. Where the hell did that scared, naive little girl Nuue was a moment before go? Because she isn't acting it anymore. She stops walking to stand closer, but where she can still see everyone.

"...and I've seen guns. Recently, anyhow. Terribly loud things... But I doubt you have one. They seem to end up with the older sort."

She noticeably winces as her left arm's withering acts up again. Not that it's noticeable under the bandages.

Stained Mizutsune

Normally the Mizutsune would be highly agitated upon being approached by its attackers but Kado's Force trick works on it. It helps it's exhausted already as it lays there, being healed. It gives the group a tilt of its head, seemingly confused before falling unconscious from all the strain. Its breathing is more steady now.

Meanwhile, as the Dark Matter departed, it approached a massive pit where once again the Elder Dragon from last time was waiting. Its massive tail opened its mouth to let the Dark Matter inside, the Elder Dragon already absorbing the experiences from its battle.

As it burrowed underground though, something tugged at its mind. It stopped in the deep caves, its vestigial eyes glancing in a seemingly random direction. It reached out its mind and-

It snarled. Those insignificant worms dared to steal one of its pawns? It began moving down the caves with plans of malice in its head...


Ruined Siege Camp

Seeing as that was inefective, Mona instead goes for a hit and run swipe with her claws at the more exposed parts of the Stained Deviljho. Sebastien meanwhile loaded some poison arrows instead to also aim for the exposed parts, in an attempt to make it weaker.

The Stained Deviljho though might be briefly distracted as the parasite will feel an intense psychic presence, as the Elder Dragon attempts to reassume control while moving to get closer from underground.

   "KILL THEM. ALL OF THEM. ESPECIALLY THE WORMS WHO THINK TO COMMAND YOU."    is the command it will receive.


Kenny

Rumia tilts her head at Ken's weird interruption and something clicks.

   "ohhh do you have that... as thma thing? Miss Patchouli has it and has to use one those um... inhalers."    Rumia guesses, making a eureka pose.


Culling Games

Kaon gets owned. In no position to do much more than feebly move to block he gets knocked into the air and then FATALITY'd into half the bot he used to be. His remains land on the ground, inert as energon leaks out from his cut torso.

After a few minutes pass, a green portal opens up and several Omnicons scramble out to collect his remains before disappearing back into it as it closes.


Gaismagorm

Nitori watches Gaismagorm tumble down, having once again dug in to avoid being succ'd. She hasn't really taken much damage so she simply takes the break to reload and do a quick systems check before having her mecha jump down after Malzeno.

Corrin watch, pondering and vaguely agreeing with Nuuee by nodding. That, and he had his own reasons.

You looked pretty panicked. I didn't want to genuinely endanger you thinking you could mean to hurt me, Corrin says. And... maybe I'm just kind of a naive person in general, heh.

Corrin listens to Rumia, could that be a disease of a sort? He doesn't want to ask to avoid wounding Ken's pride but he can maybe assume part of his aggressive behavior was tied to it.

I've been betrayed before. It's not nice but I think I'd be even worse off being paranoid and thinking everyone's out to get me.

Tilra blinks a few times, waking up from what what a deep slumber. She is surprised to see that Sarah is there, and more surprised to see that she is on solid ground.

   ?You took me back? .Thank you.   

Her mouth opens wide in a big ol' yawn.

   .I do not get enough sleep. .It doesn't feel wrong not to, so I have a hard time judging.   

Yatta!

Tournament

Electivire thunder punches Genesect again, but she could notice their attacks dealing less damage than usual.

Don't worry, just keep on with your positive energy!

And so, Painty cheers her Pokémon, upping its attack and giving it a sure crit next move... Correct me if I'm wrong

Alright then, Wild charge!

Electivire charges itself with electric energy, and rushes to tackle Genesect.

1d100=63, ability proc

Thankfully, because of one of their abilities, Electivire doesn't suffer of recoil damage.

Also, tell me if that last move was legal

Commander Yammark and Ataru the Genesect- Pokemon Coliseum

Ataru gets burnt hard by that last tackle attack. Both trainer and Pokemon share a hasty glance, as if sharing a quick battle plan. In an attempt at playing it safe, Ataru attempts to keep his distance and tries to fire a quick Technoblast barrage at the Electivire.

Sarah shrugs at Tilra and smiles. It seems fair. You probably slept because you went out of your way to heal me, right? And in any case, it's a nice thing to do. She sits down in mid-air, levitating with her legs crossed and her elbow resting on her right leg to prop up her head.

Hmmm, I get ya. My partner is more sleep-sensitive so I just nap when he does! You could always set a clock or something if you need. She offers, after listening to her.

... I'll admit that I got familiar with the need to sleep at some point though. I had babies with superpowered hearing, superpowered voice... It was a bit of an handful tending to them, haha. She laughs, and just speaking of that seems to tire her again. But they grew up into nice teens. I'd do it all over again if I got trapped in some... weird time loop.

Tour ship

"Yeah, it's a bit weird... By all accounts, you would've expected the technology level to have spread. The Onyxians could've taken their spaceships, connected all other towns across the continent using the spaceports they have at home, and proceeded to improve the technology of all other populations up to their own level. And maybe even benefitted themselves from all the new workers and willing researchers, if they so wished to educate them. But for some reason, they don't."

A sigh comes from the speakers.

"One discovery I very quickly made about the multiverse when learning about it, is that things sometimes just don't make any sense. And it's the most frustrating, painful discovery I ever made."

As Icarus says that, the ship suddenly rocks forward.

"Sorry about that. But sacrificing the beauty of the natural sciences... might've made me bitter. My worst nightmare is that somehow, somewhere, a quote, unquote natural phenomenon starts eluding maths itself."

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

Gaismagorm

Scorpion landed in a kneel that left a minor crater in the stone ground, glancing up and staring at the Gaismagorm as it leapt away. Scorpion had watched the previous attack; he knew what was coming and so did the Terrarian (the latter of which having already begun his wild dash towards cover).

There was a problem, however.

Scorpion was too near to the Elder Dragon—too far from the protective stone and it was out of his teleportation range. There was no way he’d reach it in time. Unless…

The ninja broke out into a charge in the opposition direction of the succ, outstretching his hand as his Spear buried itself into the Terrarian’s back. He pushed himself forwards, kicking off of the man and sliding to a stop behind cover as the schizo was left to be sucked into Gaismagorm’s mouth alongside the crystals.

"Oh, come ON!—"

BOOM!

The Terrarian exploded into bloody gibs, multicolored coins, and a stone tombstone. His gory remains fell after the Gaismagorm like rain.

Terrarian watched their innards become outards.

Scorpion gazed into the abyss. With a sharp glance at Sub-Zero, he leapt over the edge and dug a blade into the rocky wall to slow his descent.

Monmasters

Rime elusion was quick and sleek, the monster more agile than tanky. With a growl he hopped to Tsujigiri’s side before swiping at the Samurott with his right claw, using Frost Slash.

——

Kenneth Haught

was that a fucking inhaler?

It was around this point that any normal man may begin to regret commencing a fight with an asthmatic child—well, any normal man would’ve already regretted commencing a fight with a child in general.

But Scorpion was not a normal man. Instead, he only lamented not figuring to punch him in the lungs earlier.

   "I stopped because you requested it."    He explained slowly.    "There is no reason to continue a fight after a call for a stalemate. Unless…"    Hanzo thought of the enemies he had made over the years.    "Unless the opponent deserves to die. You do not."   

——

Culling Games

Twenty points.

Scorpion fell to a knee and caught his breath, a heavy panting beneath the mask as he took a few moments to rest. The man glared at Mark and stood afterwards, drawing his katana. He assumed a dueling stance, holding the weapon outwards at his hip.

   "I’ll make it swift."   

——

Archimedean

With a bzwiip!, a blue-colored laser explodes from the barrel of the weapon and bores through the helmet of the resurrected corpse, leaving a burning hole in the visor from which smoke softly rises. The rest of her combo is not needed, as the being drops dead. The other two, however, have now risen. One sort of stumbles/dashes towards her while drawing a serrated combat knife, ducking down (although whether intentionally or not is uncertain) before stabbing out at her right side. The other, meanwhile, slowly lifts a pistol from its belt and shakily aims at Aniyah, firing a series of red bolts of energy at the woman—some might miss as a result of its weakened muscles, but some may not.

Reprium

"There was a reward for taking the beast in alive, no?" Raoh mutters. "Help yourselves. I only came here for the fight."

Emma blinks and is suddenly black to normal, save for a lingering trickle of blood from a still-red left eye. "Someone wanted this thing!?" she exclaims.

「シェルブレード。」

Tsujigiri draws a wicked wave-shaped seamitar and lunges at Rime with an overhead chop, using Razor Shell.

Coin flip: HEADS — Rime's Defense will be lowered if it hits.


Yawning Abyss

Sub-Zero returns Scorpion's glance, taking some choccy milk before he slides down on a sheet of ice Frozone-style.

Miraidon gently laps up some malk, then lowers itself for Baiken, Zenitsu and Inosuke to jump on, before gliding down into the abyss. Just like descending into Area Zero.

When they reach the bottom, they find Majin Gaismagorm yet gorging on more Qurio, and the sky above darkened with thunderclouds.

Eventually it seems as though the abyssal archdemon has consumed all the Qurio in the entire Arena, and its body starts to pulsate with a red glow from underneath.

   HATE YOU   

   HATE YOU   

And then it calls down a bolt of golden lightning down from the heavens to strike itself as it is engulfed in a massive explosion from all the energy it has absorbed, emerging with every last bit of crystal gone, a metallic golden glow, its blue Throat Light turned red, and jets of flaming red energy, or perhaps masses of congealed Qurio flesh, erupting from the vent-like gaps in its arms! It lifts its upper body off the ground and lets out a roar so loud it can be heard all the way in Hub Centralis, clearing the clouds and turning the sky red with its wrath!

It teleports. Dear god it teleports

Behind Malzeno, bitchslapping him into the walls surrounding the crater. It then spews balls of Qurio energy into the air which rain down all around it, making a series of destructive explosions.

Zenitsu, Baiken, and Miraidon are all too stunned by this behemoth teleporting to avoid the fireballs, scattering them across the arena as they get blown away. Sub-Zero protects himself with an ice shield, while Inosuke jumps off Miraidon's back, deftly weaving through the Qurio blasts, to slash at Gaismagorm's tail!

"Ah, yes," said Tarvek. "One of the greatest roadblocks in science is dealing with something that you have no way to properly understand."

Othar nodded. "Sometimes you have to accept that you're dealing with things that man wasn't meant to know. That's what I always say."

"Good point. Then again, when has that ever stopped anyone?"

"Fair, fair."

"Though I must say, I'm yet to bump into anything that contradicts mathematical principles. I've seen things that rely on overly complicated and sometimes probably wrong mathematics, but nothing that itself actually defies mathematical logic."

Majin Gaismagorm

The magicians arrive as the lightning strikes down on Majin Gaismagorm, shielding their eyes from the brightness of the ensuing explosion. They see its transformed state and-

Oh good god it teleports.

They spot it again when it bitchslaps Malzeno, and Dark Magician throws out the Thousand Knives, simply wanting to deal as much damage as possible now that its armor is gone. After all, it already knows from its last fight that these creatures won't automatically go down to these magic knives despite that being their purpose in its world.

However, this isn't without its price to pay. The rain of Qurio balls bears down on them and while the Magician of Black Chaos manages to expertly (and acrobatically) dodge, Dark Magician was still in the middle of his attack. The Thousand Knives won't be interrupted, but Dark Magician gets pelted and overpowered, shattering and disappearing in the process, much to the alarm of the Magician of Black Chaos.

He starts to swiftly make motions with his hands, channeling an incantation as the mirage of a pentagram-shaped light forms underneath him. He'll need a moment to make this work though, so he cannot attack this turn.


Ken

"Are you saying I'm too young to have a gun? One of my friends is a year younger than me and he carries full-on explosives!", Ken says to Nuue, having noticed her sudden shift in behavior but being a little too childishly insulted to draw immediate attention to it.

"... but I guess he doesn't have a real gun.", he then follows it up with as if that's supposed to make what he just said less worrying.

But then he suddenly looks embarrassed instead when the topic of asthma comes up.

"NO I DO NOT HAVE ASTHMA YOU SHUT YOUR GIRL FACE!", he shrieks, trying to sound pissed off but clearly trying to save face, as if it's something to be ashamed about.

This has the side-effect of making it very obvious that Rumia's guess was right on the money. Ken realizes this moments after and huffs, crossing his arms and looking away.

"I'm not sick! I'm not a weakling!"

... also making it pretty obvious what his reaction just now was all about. Corrin's thought was spot on. The kid is both prideful and very immature, leading to this troublesome behavioral combination.

He eventually glances back at them as Corrin and Scorpion also weigh in. He shifts his eyes to the ground for a moment.

"... well... I mean... yeah... only evil people deserve to die, and I'm not evil.", he says.

"... and you don't seem like the evil sort to me either."

He continues to look down at the ground, now looking frustrated as he's having conflicted feelings. He makes an annoyed grunt before letting out a groan, after which he pockets his Boomerang and throws up his arms.

"Alright, fine! You guys were nice despite me picking a fight, so I guess I'll stop fighting and freaking apologize to the store clerk...", he says with it slowly devolving into a mutter. You all know the kind, the one that kids have when they don't want to apologize but accept that they should apologize.

"But I'm keeping the beef! If I have to pay the kinda prices that hack of a store's putting out I'll be broke in less than a week and I'll die! I'm not poor, but the stupid machines don't take my ATM card so I only have the money I have on me, and it's not much."

Tour ship

"Things 'man wasn't meant to know' implies that some entity set the knowledge up for mankind to discover. I've met gods here, but they're still in the realm of easily deniable in my homeworld, so I don't tend to follow those conceptions. And if research hits a roadblock... Well, the thing about math being 'wrong' is that in order for it to be wrong, it must meet a contradiction. If you can create some axiomatic construct via definitions or new axioms, you don't find any contradictions in it, and you can solve known problems with it, then great, why drop it! I've heard stories about physicians appropriating some aspects of math, like the differential operator df/dx and treating it like a fraction in order to solve differential equations, and the mathematicians only proved after the fact that the uses were unproblematic."

Kratos doesn't have much else to do here, and seeing as it appears everyone else is doing the 'capture and study' part of the quest, he's about to take his leave. No reward was necessary, he thought. Then, tremors shake the ground, and Kratos's attention is drawn to their source. From the same direction the eye flew, it seemed. He raises a quizzical brow and walks in that direction, clenching a fist. His lack of rushing forward leaves him only an empty pit to discover. Still curious, Kratos leaps inside and begins to investigate the eviscerated dirt for any more of that black goop to confirm his suspicion.


Gerudo Town

KV!Anna hears her assailant coming from behind, recalling her chain sickle with a hard pull. It slides across the sand before rocketing back through the air toward her. Just before Bertram's sword skewers her, she leaps backward over the man, but her sickle remains on the same course. Since he's heavily armored, the attack won't pierce his armor but as KV!Anna lands; she yanks the chain back toward her, hoping the sickle latches onto a piece of armor or cloth.

Assuming it works, she smiles and yanks Bertram from his steed, dragging him across the sand. Just as he approaches, KV!Anna raises a leg that suddenly bursts into purple flame. She recoils before attempting to bring it crashing down on her opponent. If it misses, all the surface-level sand for a few feet is turned to glass instantly, and a small crater is formed.

Murkwater

Something fell between the creatures. It looks like a Twinkie at first sight... until it started to glow and explode. And then, four more of those things fell.

But, who was throwing such pastries? None other than Ms. Grey, lurking behind the trees of the zone, trying to hide of the creatures and helping the army.


Majin Gaismagorm

The group watches helplessly how Gaismagorm teleports behind Malzeno and slaps him, and then the Qurio balls exploded on them!

From within the explosion, Mega-Paco flungs himself against Gaismagorm, attempting an angry two-fisted thunderpunch against the beast.


Tournament

WAAAGH!

Painty taps anxiously the Poryphone, activating the Air Balloon. An helium balloon somehow materializes in Electivire's hand, somehow shielding it against the blast.

The yellow mon retaliates with a single Thunder Punch.
