THE HAMMER

The nerd takes another controller, blinking, as he says "I'm picking terry. I don't know how badly the translation team fucked this up, But this is gold." He in fact picks terry, Curious as can be.

The Cauldron

"Huh."

Yakedo's head was knocked straight off her body. No blood, no tearing, just... as if it was supposed to do that in the first place. Her now-headless body has a flame sprout from the neck, the colors rapidly shifting. Her head rolls on its own to look up at the Ork before her body steps back and she flings the Ork into the air with the same force she's been using. Then...

"If the ambient magic is more prevalent here..."

She points her finger up at the hopefully-flung Ork, concentrating the energy in the air into pure beams, aiming to make diced meat of the greenskin. She then calls down a larger laser to incinerate the leftovers. She doubts a creature like that would still be standing or in one piece after such a display of Energy thaumaturgy...

...she picks up her head and reaffixes it to her body. She then turns back to Luin.

"Lost my head for a moment there. You good?"

Hub Centralis - Below

"If I had to guess, that's why. He seemed noble, in the way Moebius are. That's to say, in way that is hollow."

Nia stands up. The truck isn't stopped for no reason, after all, and she's not got those big ears for nothing. Already aware of the situation, Nia uses her own healing alongside Ayona's Ouroboros. The balance of power here... isn't, an Ouroboros's healing is strong, but that healing is by-nature only derivative.

Derivative of what?

Derivative of Nia herself!

All the injuries on these disheveled victims simply seem to vanish with both sources at once acting. Ouroboros offers superlative healing speed, while Nia's is, for lack of a better word, denser, patching more than just the flesh.

All the neutralization efforts are a success. The victims are of no threat at all while Ouroboros* does its work.

  • Referring to those who oppose(d) the existence of Aionios.

The vast majority of the victims seem to suddenly snap out of a daze, briefly taking stock of their surroundings. These victims, however, do not have time to question why it is that they are suddenly somewhere with no memory of how.

Because the rest of the victims, a concentration of about 25%, become enraged by the healing, their eyes flushing with golden light, their veins bursting brightly beneath their skin with bright yellow incandescence. Snarling and growling, they charge at Nia and Ayona's Ouroboros, possessed with enhanced strength and suicidal tenacity!

Stranger still, these angry civilians will utterly ignore anyone that isn't of Ouroboros, as though possessed with loathing for them in particular!

To a bona-fide Ouroboros like Ayona's, even these strength-enhanced and healthy victims aren't much of a threat. A hyper-mobile and simply huge presence like that should find it easy to escape.

For reasons unrelated, Nia shouldn't be in much danger herself... but she's still trying not to kill these people. Unaware, for the most part, that there isn't a choice.

Because those with the golden-glowing eyes aren't possessed. They're gone, hollowed out by light. Puppets on a string, ready to die when they are severed.


A shockwave rips across a city block. From Ana's sword, cleaving through Golden Bat's neck. The sheer collateral damage of this single movement is frightening, cutting through every building in a wide (though limited-range) cone in front of her, cut through at the base.

For some smaller structures, this is a destabilizing, but not destructive, action. Save for those unfortunate enough to be level with Ana's sword (and thus, cut in half) there isn't much to say about structural damage like that. It's the larger buildings that suffer.

Thankfully, there are only a handful, but they aren't small. An apartment building and an office tower, both collapsing in on themselves due to the structural damage, causing a cascade of further structural collapses as they fall and destabilize the foundations at their feet. All around Ana, the world seems to cover in ash, as she and Golden Bat clash again.

Ana puts her arm up. The lash of Golden Bat's magic cuts a gash into the middle of her forearm, but the attack is blocked. Despite her human-ish complexion, Ana's blood is undeniably the yellow-gold of ichor, leaking slow and bubbling like water frothing at a boil.

   "Then it is... for the pain. Think of all the years I could spend, snapping your mouth shut, click."   

Ana steps forward to make another move, but F acts first. Emerging from the ground, he delivers a flat punch to Ana's jaw, sending her spiraling into the air. In the direction Ana did not just cut through, and even out there to a degree, windows shatter, as the shockwave of his strike rips through the city.

But Ana is carried away.

...Putting her closer to the efforts in the sky.


Icarus and Vera's arrivals are neither late nor untimely. "Immediately" might have been best, but if "now" is the best the city can have, then "now" is what it will get. The damage is bad, but the outlook for the city as a whole isn't terrible.

So far, the damage is localized to a single "sector" of the city, for lack of a better word. In a conventional city, the damage Ana has dealt would be pure desolation, but Hub Centralis is (though sometimes forgettably) gobsmackingly enormous, a megacity if ever there was one, a place where this could be happening on one side while the other doesn't even notice.

Of notice is Icarus's firefighting. The nonreactive liquid helium is anathema to chemical fires like these. Where once the blaze threatened to spiral out of control, it is now comfortably contained, not that this fact stops the sky from filling with ash and smoke. At this point, the surroundings are dangerously choked with it, the byproduct of building collapses and raging fires only just now extinguished.

Nia is uncomfortable with this, but ultimately doesn't need to breathe air. Mileage may vary for everyone else, but at the very least, it is possible to breathe this air... at risk of long-term health complications. I'm sure Nia can heal Mesothelioma, but it might not be worth the risk.

Still, efforts are paying off. Icarus's rubble-clearing paves way for greater numbers of civilians to be saved from collapsed buildings. A more coordinated effort would pay dividends and then some in lives saved, even if stopping Ana directly is out of the question.

A few of the hollowed-out golden-eyed victims outright drop dead to Vera's White Magic blessings. These lucky few retained enough of their mind to have a mind to clean, allowing her to offer them this tiny last relief.

The rest retain their unnerving persistence and abnormal strength. They are the majority, those emptied of the self and replaced by pure radiance.

If The Hollow Knight were here, they'd be having an attack.


The Cauldron

For Amalthus, the apparent death of Gor-rok is almost like a respite in this unflinchingly chaotic battle. He hasn't respect for the warrior, but the tenacity it displays still does fascinate him, in a morbid sort of way.

So very human. Not the surviving, but the keeping going, the still-kicking of the warrior, refusing to let up until his last unblinking moment.

Amalthus respects the warrior. Not by knowing his strength, but by fearing his stillness. By treating what he knows to be his dead body like a bomb, armed and ready to explode.

So he switches his weapon to a bitball of the fire element, and tosses it into the air. Up high, it enlarges, and upon Gor-rok it falls like a meteor, explosive and crushing. Whether his opponent be dead or alive, Amalthus intends to blast his head into mush, leaving nothing to stand up and fight another day.

Yatta!

Hammertime

Taye swipes up a controller, seemingly from thin air, and picks Cody.

"This is terrible. I must be a part of it."

He glances over to Diavolo and says "I like your hair." For a brief moment, his hair and speech color seem to be hot pink... But that soon passes, his hair returning to the usual blond-with-black-roots.

Hub Centralis

"Woah!"

Ayona's Ouroboros form quickly leaps into the air, back from the suddenly-enraged swarm of people, doing a flip and landing a good distance back. They sigh.

"These people... Something tells me they don't have much of a mind left."

Almost reluctantly, they draw beads on the approaching people. The four cannons on the sides fire, etheric lasers cutting into the hollow shells. If one was able to see Ryve and Ayona's face, they would see the guilt they hold for killing those they couldn't save, even in self defense.

After a few minutes, they finally have to split again, having reached their form's capacity. Overheating is... bad, for lack of a better descriptor. They both still have their Blades drawn, in case anything happens to be left. Both would be glad for a break, but... they doubt they'll get one until everything is truly dealt with. Both have looks of guilt on their face. This... isn't something enjoyable, and it reminds them of what came before... all this. Back when they were still in Aionios.

Croque perks up at a familiar person crossing her radio feed. She looks back at Nil.

"-Nil, you drive. Gotta deal with something!"

...

Back at the Paradiso, she warps in next to Icarus's Explorer unit. Given communicating by radio is faster-

We need to get these people away from Centralis, but the only place with passible medical facilities is back at RI, and that's far away. Need something built while I get some transport ships refitted.

She sends a schematic for one of RI's hospital buildings, being able to be quickly assembled by drone for reasons exactly like this. It makes use of Originium, but Croque's pretty sure Icarus has a good stock of it. Meanwhile, Warfarin speaks into her earpiece back on the ship. Unlike Croque's purely text-based transmission (that she uses TTS to relay to others if need be) Warfarin speaks.

"If you've got anything that can help us with actually getting those people back to the ship, that would be great. Just do it low, I'm not sure how the people above would react to something in their airspace."

Many of the RI medical personnel are recovering those freed from the rubble. Multiple trucks are being used to get them back to the ship, but some method of flight would be much faster.

Angstrom, Jinouga, Gaismagorm, M 1 R 11

Lonther

Angstrom Levy was thrown backwards by the raw force of Yuki’s flame, leaving black scorch-marks on the street beneath them.

   "Fools!"    He hissed, landing on his feet as he buried his mechanical arm into the earth, halting his backwards slide.    "I’m trying to—"   

Next came Artemis’ sudden blow to the gut, replacing the words in his mouth with blood and spit. His teeth smashed together with furious grit and his arm immediately shot out once more to grab the woman by the throat, but she was already gone. Anger flashed in his eyes and, rather than reach for her again, he simply clutched the empty space before him and dragged his fist towards his chest.

From the building behind Artemis exploded a hail of bricks, some fractured and some whole.

Angstrom next noticed the wagon, conjured forth by and redirected from Ikaros.    So,    he thought to himself,    I’m not the only one.    Irregardless of this, he reared his mechanical arm back and punched the flying wagon, blowing it to fractured shards of wood. These hovered in the air for a lone moment before the cloud of splinters turned to face Yuki and shoot towards her violently in a stream of projectiles.

Angstrom wasn’t stupid, though; he knew this was perhaps the worst approach to take when battling a pyromancer, short of maybe water. And so, to cover all his bases, he leapt into the air, hopefully lost among the great amount of wood, coming down behind Yuki. Next he’d reach to grab the back of her head, lift her into the air, and then slam her facefirst into the ground.

——

Stained Zinny Zinesauce

Zystak’s gun dropped from his hands. He reached to the bandolier across his chest, drawing the third and final grenade. Fingers ran quick over the surface before pressing down upon a button, activating the device. Weakening moment by moment, he lowered his arm and tossed the weapon underhand towards the down Zinogre. This grenade was powerful, focused more on explosive might than any sort of shrapnel. If he were lucky, it’d reduce the monster’s head to a bloody stain.

——

Gaismagizzle

   "This again,"    Scorpion hissed after barely managing to roll out of the way of the Gaismagorm and avoiding being crushed, before glaring at the now-ascending monster.

Like Sub-Zero, the range of his distance-based attacks is limited. He needed to get creative if he wanted to hit the beast. An explosion of flame erupted from the ground beneath Scorpion’s feet, the raw force of it delivering him upwards into the air so that he reached the peak of his ascent directly level with the monster’s right shoulder, which he proceeds to launch a fireball towards before falling to the earth once more.

Then, from over the edge of the height of the cliff, he hears a voice: faint and first, but soon growing louder and clearer.

   "FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK YYYYYYOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU!!"   

From above, the Terrarian, still clad in his molten armor, exploded over the edge! And this time he’s hopped up on all manner of potions—Ironskin to up his defense, Endurance to reduce his damage taken, Rage to up his critical attacks, Swiftness to make him…swifter, Titan to up his knockback resistance, Wrath to heighten his attack potency, and perhaps most important to his ensuing attack: Featherfall, which slowed his descent.

Because as the Terrarian descended, he drew from his back the legendary Night’s Edge blade, a weapon nearly the size of him and almost matching a Mon Hun-style greatsword in length. An aura of purple appeared about the man and as he lashed out with it, the attacks came not just in the form of the blade but also with an extended wave of energy both trailing behind and lashing out in front of the sword. This he aimed at the clusters of Qurio on Gaismagorm’s back during his fall.

That wasn’t all he had brought with him, though—hovering by his side now was an imp, which unleashed beams of flame at the Gaismagorm’s back alongside the Terrarian.

——

M 1 R 11

Luin noted Rhea’s usage of an item on Tsujigiri and realized that she wasn’t certain how much longer Rime could keep this up: the fight was sure to end soon, but the winner-to-be remained ambiguous.

"End this now, Rime!" She shouted, as though giving an order would somehow finish the fight in her favor simply because she willed it to be so. The Giadrome responded with a shriek and a leap, followed briefly with a downwards Frost Slash intended to come down upon the enemy Pokemon’s head.

With great power…you know the rest.

Damage Control

Icarus nods - not like the people on the Paradiso can pick up on that, but whatever. Can do. Will bring civvies to the north edge of town, but I don't exactly have flying ambulances, you'll prob have to evac them

After a quick glance on his world map, he decides to assign a fleet to construct two hospitals in Astil. The originium cost catches him off guard - he does have a stockpile and a production line making use of biomass, but not having expected to be using it, he's left it all at home. Getting it out of special storage will take more time than usual.

Up above, the fleet has constructed a ring of ship assembly bays. New vessels that pass through the outside to the inside will get automatically refitted for whatever task they're assigned by Icarus. Right now, a fleet that's passing through is getting refitted with droneports, atmospheric wings and light CF-compressed shielding. Soon, a dozen of them will make its way towards the currently collapsing buildings, dismantling them top to bottom and picking up any falling civilians.

Icarus scoffs. That's a horrible response time, and not nearly as fast as he would've wanted.

I want to dismantle all the skyscrapers, is that fine?


Centralis park

"Ah, ice cream! A classic choice. I believe there's a charming little spot not far from here that serves delightful frozen treats. It's called Frosty Delights. Now, I'm not entirely sure if it exists in this particular city, but it's worth a look around this area. Shall we head that way?" The robot gestures towards the edge of the park, where there might be some ice cream locations.

The second voice interrupts. "I haven't given you any money, have I, ChatGPT?"

"I can't pull out money, but I could potentially help you find nearby ATMs or places that accept digital payments if that works for you. Would that be helpful?"

The second voice remains awkwardly silent.

Megumi drops his mace and check his shoulders a few times, rubbing one of them as his Domain Expansion fades. With the Orks slaughtered and the poachers having fled, he find it tiring to hold unto it.

He smiles in appreciation for the help given to him but stay wary of Gor-Rok. Even with his head pulverized like that, who knew what he could do? Megumi pick up a sword, his body hurting in about every part, down to the cells. With his Cursed Technique burned-out for now, he'll need to hang back a bit. But he refuses to be a idle spectator.

Thanks for the help. I'll watch our backs. My technique might be burnt out for a moment but I can still fight.

Babey Mansion

Rumia returns Refia's nod with a smile. Noticing the Risen Cleric with a Freeze staff, she briefly gets curious if zombies from other worlds taste different compared to those of Gensokyo (hopefully better since that time she bit Yoshika was a vile memory), before dismissing the thought to focus on the important step of re-killing them. She throws her scythe, sending it whirling through the air at the Freeze-wielding Cleric to slice it clean in two.

After that she follows it up by sprouting shadowy arms from her back and moving to get closer to Alear to back her up, grabbing any Risens/Corrupted/whatever the fuck who try to stop her and trying to rip them in two.


Hammer

Wriggles grabs an inexplicably present N64 controller, unlike the target audience she doesn't find it awkward due to having more hands. Anyway she picks THE GUY because the mystery is alluring to her...

Yamame meanwhile looks at the weird pink guy and how he kinda looks like a snack. In the literal sense, her fangs looking more prominent and dripping venom.

Azura is struck by the bolts from the Casterats. Unluckily for her, the physical side she has nothing to fight back against besides her armor and toughness. And still, the former is still pieced up after a few blasts to a repeated area, with subsequent bolts causing nasty damage, leaving out small searing craters on her purple skin.

But the mental side, she can handle.

As she gets hit, Azura uses Mind Magic on herself, seizing the budding insanity and "redirecting" it. It's a tough process, and Azura is too tired/busy to defend herself against the beams as a reason. Plus, even with her magic, it's hard to really fight back against such overwhelming... meanness.

She focus it into her eyes, of all place, and then give it actual form with Matter Magic, turning it into flames that literally lit her eyeballs on fire. It seems painful, and is so, so she bend these flames with Flame Magic and throws her head back as she begins to send these cursed flames right back at sender;

Arcing beams of fire, with green sparks and a repulsive smell, fly out of Azura's beams, attempting to slam into the Casterats before she lose control and just discharge them at the rats in general, howling in pain while doing so. The struggle to redirect the madness, give it literal form and shoot it back as searing flames is constant, yet she endures.

Even with her eyes melting out of her skull and dripping on her shoes as boiling yellow goo, Azura keeps going. And when the last flames are shot out, she just kick that eye-goo at the nearest Skaven.

Yawning Abyss

   Hah!"   

Haru fires out more of those shards, completely exhausting the 'wings' on his back. They explode again... but doing this exhausts the already-drained man.

As such, he loses the transformation, reverting to his 'base' form. He's breathing heavily as he falls. Seems all that switching took more of a toll on his body than he thought.

"This... is really taking a toll on me..."

He presses his hand against his heart.

"But hey, giving up now really never was my style, was it..? Not with all the hell I've been though."

He smiles once more, slamming into the ground. His base suit doing nothing for the impact. He shakily tries to sit up.

...

But his body won't cooperate. The pain is too much. This... isn't it for him, is it? All this, for nothing. What a joke.

"No... I had made a promise..."

Haru forces himself up. His suit and weapon come into being, based off a certain bird. More things pile onto him- a necklace with a galaxy inside. Two wings- one black and full of yellow eyes, the other, looking like a series of pale white bones with red segments mixed in. His eyes, covered with a cracked metal blindfold. one hand is covered in blooded bandages. The other, a black glove bearing a gold band and orange diamond. his ears go pointed. His face gets scarred, somehow. Two golden feathers appear on the sides of his head, like horns. Part of his cheek opens to reveal three eyes, more normal in color.

Lastly, the two most notable. A glowing, golden budding seed near his heart. And some golden branches holding his wings on, being the 'roots' of the wings.

Haru - The Fallen of Wing L

He grips his blade tightly.

"And I intend on keeping it."

He leaps into the air, driving his blade down on the already-damaged left shoulder. When it hits, it does many things- it slices, erodes, and burns away the Quiro, all at once. Additionally, his mere presence slowly does the exact same thing.

Lourent

(UF!Frisk)

HP 28/36. TP 27%.

*Looks like a rave party.

MERCY>Defend

UF!Frisk holds their pan in front of themselves, projecting a green barrier as they do.

+15% TP from defending. 42% TP.

They manage to mostly block the Master Spark, though not completely- Then they hold still for most of the blue attack, only moving when normal bullets press them closer.

12 damage to UF!Frisk. 16/36.

(IF!Chara)

HP 15/15. MP 1/4.

*This attack looks familiar, somehow.

ACT>Chara>Charge

+2 MP from charging. 3/4. Speed down.

Chara opts to fly behind Marisa to dodge the attack. They can't do much else this turn as Charge keeps them from attacking. When the blue attack comes, they hold still, only moving to avoid the normal pellets, like UF!Frisk did.

(IF!Frisk)

HP 9/10.

*Giant lasers? Wait, I don't like the sound of that.

ACT>IF!Frisk>Orange Button

IF!Frisk presses an orange button on the side of their phone.

Suddenly..!

It transforms into a large 'fist', letting them punch right through the laser (with I-frames). They have a slightly smug smile on their face.

"Ha! Looks like that laser of yours didn't do much!"

Then the blue attack comes. They need to be careful with their maneuvers, eventually getting grouped near the others.

(Papyrus)

HP 655/680.

*NYEH! A LASER LIKE THIS CAN ONLY BE COUNTERED BY AN EVEN COOLER LASER!

ITEM>PAPYRUS'S ULTRA-AWESOME FACE LASER GUN

Papyrus pulls out a giant shoulder-steadied gun. The front end is in the style of his face with an open mouth. It looks a bit like a rocket launcher. He presses the button and fires a laser from it, matching the Master Spark in intensity. It would've been a Beam-O-War, had Marisa's not ended first. This means Papyrus's laser shoots forward at her, at an extremely high speed.

Then the blue attacks come and Papyrus slowly moves inbetween the breaks to regroup with the others. This does mean he's probably right next to Marisa... well, everyone would be.

Yawning Abyss

The group is too uncoordinated, too inefficient. Altzaira's orders should've been heeded, and Morph Moth and Haru's physical attacks release explosive disruptions of energy that could blow them away.

They won't make progress like this...

Or at least, it seems like that might be the case, but when the smoke clears from Haru's attack, Majin Gaismagorm's left shoulder is bare (doesn't mean the explosion isn't a threat), and the Terrarian's return to the fight with the Night's Edge a-swinging pops the right shoulder cluster. Unlike before, it musters no second wind or last-ditch trick—the tremendous beast goes crashing to the ground, lying flat on its belly.

"ATTAAACK!" Malzeno barrels straight at Majin Gaismagorm, attacking with his wings, claws, and tail in a silver frenzy.

Zenitsu's charge coats the ground in electricity. Miraidon's Hadron Engine roars back to life as it soaks up what is effectively a refreshed Electric Terrain, powering it up to use Electro Drift in sync with Zenitsu finally unleashing his attack.

"Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash..."

Faster than a blink, Zenitsu is on the other side of Majin Gaismagorm, with Miraidon right behind him, as a tremendous electric SLASH materializes in their wake a moment later before exploding into crackling energy.

"Godspeed!"

Despite what Inosuke said, Baiken can't help worrying. She grapples up the cliff face and to safety with him in her arm, trusting the others to handle things.

Sub-Zero runs up to Majin Gorm's face and just starts beating the shit out of it with a series of punches, kicks, and ice weapon swings.

Yawning Abyss

An opening!

Quintet Magician unleashes its magical Dakka attack once again, this time all focused on as much of Majin Gaismagorm's body as it can cover, though focuses mainly on its stomach area. It wants this creature dealt with as soon as possible, 'cause it can only deal with one more lethal attack (it'd have to give up its staff to avoid lethal damage).

After that, it wouldn't have any other spells left that could defend it.

As for the specifics of the magic attack, this time they come in as beams from above, almost like some form of divine smiting. Thanks to its mastering of magic, the fused magician can ensure none of its allies get hit by the beams.

Marisa zooms out of the way of Papyrus' retaliatory laser, though when IF!Frisk gives her a smug smile she simply smirks back. Of course she then has to focus on Asriel's attack. She uses her sword to block a few bullets as one grazes her, but then notices the whole blue thing so she moves that way. It also serves another purpose for her, having the others clustered near her.

   Love Sign "Non-Directional Laser"   

The moment Asriel's attack ends, she begins another one of hers. 10 spell circles appear around her and 5 fire out continuous laser beams of different color. After a few moments the other 5 fire out as well, the lasers now moving to overlap and pass through each other in an alternating cycle.

Normally, the lasers would briefly deactivate to give breathing room but instead Marisa gave it a little twist. Now a laser will briefly change to an orange or blue color to match Asriel's earlier use of colored bullets, granting an opening to dodge. Of course, there's also spiraling trails of star shaped bullets firing in between the lasers to not make it too easy.

Oh and if anyone tries to i-frame to her, Astra is waiting to attack.

After it ends she immediately rockets away at a high speed to avoid retaliation, or whatever Asriel planned to do with them clustered up.


Yawning Abyss

Like a Gundam Versus player who smelled blood, Nitori dashes at Majin Gaismagorm with a vengeance. She grinds her mecha's malzeno claws together to sharpen them before bringing them down on Gaismagorm. After that she begins slashing away with reckless abandon.

Babey Mansion

Pyra is strong, but not tough. She behaves under anime coolness rules, able to shrug off any blunt impact, but curiously weak to being cut. These berserkers are a threat to her.

On The Hollow Knight's end, things are very different. The freeze staff does nothing to the god of nothingness, diminished though they may be. Stillness and it are conceptual partners, void given form in this way cannot be stopped by a trinket like a freeze staff, whether the freezing be literal ice or a more figurative slowness.

Either way, The Hollow Knight shade-warps right next to the cleric trying to freeze them, and performs a quick three-slash combo of their Pure Nail, which has inexplicably returned to The Hollow Knight's hand.

Pyra, meanwhile, has her foe's attention. Does she want to kill them? Of course not. But she is not some mighty being that can simply choose not to deal out death in the heat of battle.

She uses the art "Flame Nova", twirling her sword around her before letting out a pulse of flames. Without her driver's help, this attack is more alike to its Smash Bros version, with lower range, but she still plans on using it to slash and burn the Berserkers she pestered.

...Are they even people, or just shadows? Reanimated dead?

Regardless, Pyra isn't trying not to kill them. But she doesn't feel good about that.

Yatta!

Morph Moth - Yawning Abyss

Despite the earlier setback, Morph Moth gleefully dual-wields a lightsaber and a scrap sword and goes to town on Majin Gaismagorm. Despite administering justice, the moth Reploid evilly laughs, delighting in seeing the beast suffer for causing so much pain in the past.

Ecclesia exclaims, " Hurray for ice cream!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Albaz sighs, "   Sounds like a plan to me.   "

Hub Centralis

A girl in a white and black costume with pink accents can be seen perched atop the mall's roof, overlooking her new surroundings.

"Okay... where exactly am I?" she mutters under her breath, checking a device strapped to her wrist.

One second she had been traveling through dimensions with her pal Hobie, the next she'd was tumbling through a portal to where this strange place was. What's more, it looked to her like the accident had damaged her transporter in the process.

"And if this thing's all busted, that probably means I can't just call Hobie or Jess or Miguel to come pick me up either. Great. Alright, Gwen, just stay cool. Whatever this place is like, odds are you've probably seen way weirder."

The girl, Gwen, takes a running leap off of the mall's roof and fires a lengthy strand of webbing into the side of the nearest building. Grabbing onto the line with both hands, she begins swinging through the city to continue her exploration. Hopefully, it wouldn't be long until she found someone with useful info about this world.

Polnareff travels through dimensions your fragile mind wouldn't believe. His physical self is made whole, then less, then whole again, then back to normal as he's sent sailing through the psychedelic infinities, carried by the void winds into the eternal jaws of the lord of madness. He becomes the lowest of worms, then the highest of kings, travel through dimensions, make friends, save the world, doom the world, go back in time to fix his mistakes, sacrifice himself and briefly come back before once more being sent into the vast void.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Polnareff then is engulfed in a gigantic Space Tornado and spin over and over and over and over and over and you get it, as he is sent into the bottom of existence.

If the world between places looks like a psychedelic nightmare, the bottom of it is pure darkness. Polnareff doesn't scream simply because he's scared: he screams because the nothingness around him is such that, were to stop screaming, he'd doubt of his very existence.

And then he smack into a big concrete pit like a ragdoll and is reminded that yes he does exist and it's painful.

Big red flames go off everywhere around Polnareff as he deftly goes back to his feet. First, they come from large torches scattered around the area, planted at the literal bottom of the world. Then, they come from dancing little imps in the distance, all acting and moving in infinite lines that stretch far beyond the horizon. And then, a light as bright as the sun illuminates the shape of the owner of the Bottom, illuminated by the light of his cigare.

Very little know about Super Satan. Because he's like Satan but, like, very strong. He's very strong. He's so strong he could beat Angel and Narktus and Eternal Kakarotto and Bunggod and and and and Flandre and Taro and Zen'o and ZEUS and Thor wait nevermind the latter two but he could like totally beat all these characters easily casually and you can't say your characters actually wouldn't lose because you can't do it!!

He looks like a big pink devil who's very muscular and he has six arms-no, eight. And they're all holding demonic machineguns. And he's got big badass black spiky armor that's cooler than Guts. And he kind of look super cool with a chiseled jawline and big eyebrows and red flaming eyes that can instakill anyone. And his horns are super big too. He has six of them and they have smaller horns.

   POLNAREFF! My friend. Speak of your intentions to I, the dread Lord of Darkness. And remember that I am the reason your kind loathe all that is obsidian across existence.    he says, only coincidentally sounding like my dad.

Super Satan! I have two favors to ask of you! Polnareff says, standing up and cracking his neck. I have woes with a Wyvern Rider named Jenner Rick and the evil Wriggle. I would need you to send your demon hordes to tear them apart for what they've done to me: the first stole my phone and kept it, despite my insistence that he give it back... and the second said I smelled like cheese! My honor can only be washed with their blood!

Super Satan blinks with his six eyes, looking briefly baffled before he composes himself.    ... Very well! My demonic hordes shall splatter their blood across endless worlds. Payment will be... taken care of by the denizens of the Arena. I shall rampage there with my hordes and eat their delicious souls, using this pitiful realm as a gateway into countless more worlds to assimilate and devour.   

Sweet. As for my second request... Could I get some Aspirin? My throat is killing me. Super Satan gives Polnareff some aspirin and a glass of water and then proceed to put his hands on his skull, focusing as he concentrate his spiritual might into a conduit of a sort he might use to invade the Arena. And then summon his demonic army.

   Is that... The Hammer? Hahahaha! It's only fitting a weakling like Satan would have died to this game. But possessing this game should be extremely easy to one such as I!    Super Satan glances at Polnareff.    Polnareff... You might want to stay down there for a little while. Lest you be caught in the violence as I strip this realm to the bones!   

Super Satan focus, and Polnareff scoffs.

Heh... who does he think he is?! Hyper Satan?! Huzzah! Polnareff jumps into the void back to the surface, intent on seeing his plot carry on through...

Little does he know, that shortly after his departure, Super Satan start sweating, the realm falling apart around him as he begin deploying his full power.    GNNUUUAURGGHHH! NOOO! HOW COULD THIS BE?! I... I... I AM THE ONE GETTING POSSESSEDDD???!!!! AIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!    Super Satan's scream goes digital as he glitch from his sitting position to the T-pose repeatedly. After a little while, he's converted into pure energy, and flings himself across the realm.

Towards the console...

Good thing that they'll be able to play a few levels before then!

Meanwhile, as all of that is happening in what I can only presume is something akin to the eight dimension...

Jenner Rick discovers that he's even worse at this game than he was at Nario Party.

Somehow he succeeds in beating his level anyway, which coincidentally is his character having to fight against hordes of wyverns. Huh... so that's what it's like from the other end.

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

Hammer, The

Nuue is completely unaffected by this. She's still painting. She steps back to admire her finished work.

Also, Maris is back outside, sitting on a bench again.

Yawning Abyss

"Hah!!"

Haru dashes forward, swinging his sword into Gaismagorm's exposed scales. Notably, it hits much harder- each of the damage types being amplified in this moment*. After four swings, he ends it with a slash that tosses himself backwards.

*Each hit of the special of Twilight deals 48-72 of each damage type, all at once (192-288 total). The final hit only deals 24-36 (96-144 total) of each. This, in comparison to the 12-18 (48-72 total) of all damages it deals on a normal hit, is still quite large. For the purposes of the Arena, Pale damage will not be a percent-based damage.

Haru has a small smile on his face as he lands. His body is being revitalized slowly- thanks to his own EGO having a passive Gift effect. ...or he could just... reuse his old form.

Hammer time

Suffice to say, Taye is not quite used to this genre of games. He's mashing his buttons rapidly, trying to get past the overly large crowds of strangely powerful moons while constantly swearing the whole time.

One could say he's... Hammering away at his controller. Wait, no, that barely even counts as a joke.

Nevertheless, despite Taye's lack of experience or patience, he somehow... succeeds in passing this level, by a hair's breadth- he was one hit away from a game over. Staring just long enough to ensure he truly won and there were no more surprises in store, he dropped the controller and groaned in pain.

Lonther

Artemis shrugs off the bricks, being a decent bit more dense than them. It doesn't break her concentration enough, so...

...oh, wait. She just got buried. Oops.

"Oh come on..!"

That does break her concentration, as she gets knocked over. Nothing happens for a moment, and then- The sound of tearing flesh.

"-agh! I should've expected this to hurt, heh!"

The bricks are blown into the air, shattered to even smaller pieces. Two black tendrils sweep the rest of the rubble to the side, revealing... oh.

Artemis is wearing a white kitsune mask, though there's a last drip of blood coming from it. She's probably hiding her face for... whatever reason. The rest of her body is much more muscular, and there's two tendrils coming from her shoulder blades.

As Angstrom focuses on Yuki, Artemis dashes forward, spinning herself to slam both of those tendrils into Angstrom's back multiple times. After that, she leaps back.

Well! This is certainly strong... ...but what kinda power necessitates tearing off your own face for it to work!?

That's what Artemis is thinking as she lands back on the ground. She adjusts her mask a bit as she does.

   "You're right. So why not EMBRACE IT!?"    Grinning madly, Sadhri meets Sarah's charge with a punch of her own, expecting a cross counter, only to be grabbed and elbowed repeatedly in the gut. The black lightning bolt crashes through and sends her flying in a tailspin, until she crashes into a mountain.

   "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE YOUR TRUE NATURE!"   

With a roar, the mountain explodes and Sadhri comes hurtling out to deliver that punch that got outplayed, reaching Sarah as fast as it takes her to blink! Lines of electricity bind Sadhri to the metals in the mountain's rubble, letting her hurl a barrage of rock at her counterpart after the punch!


Asriel grins at the sight of Marisa replicating monster attack gimmicks. He gets hit more than one might expect, given how he fared against her previous spell card and the fact he was the first to use colored attacks in this fight. He gets bruised and a little singed by the magic lasers.

But that's just because he's making up his mind for what to do next.

He twirls his spear, eyes flashing orange, then blue, then blue, then orange, before thrusting it rapid-fire to send shockwaves of matching colors in that order. The shockwaves are narrower, more concentrated on the IF and UF kids.


Previously, in the confrontation of the Manga Heroine and Demon Lord who Get One Post a Year...

   "You fool!"    The demon lord raises a finger over his head, revealing a tremendous ball of malefic energy!    "I've been gathering power this whole time! You have nine months before I erase you, and my limits, from this world! Now say your prayers..."   

... NEXT TIME in the tale of the Heroine and Demon Lord Who Get One Post a Year!

Jax grabs his lamp tightly, a taunting chuckle passing his lips before he sees his party's opposition.

"Hats?"

He asks, the metaphorical head-scratching in his tone mixed with a hefty dose of disappointment. The swathing heal of Emma's biomass seeps into his skin, and he sighs satisfactorily before twirling his lamp.

"These should crumple real easy!"

He shouts before swinging at one of the hats with a Basic attack
