The Last Dance

BP - 3/5

"Oh, SHIT-"

Durian sprints away, leaping away from the landing explosion of the actual Stained Monster they're going to be fighting. He gets hit by the shockwave pretty badly- coughing up blood. He downs some sort of healing concoction.

"U-ugh... That hurt..."

He pushes himself up, glaring at the oversized beast. He readies his staff in one hand, and his tome in the other. Mana flares to life around him.

"You want to toy with us, do you?! Fine then! Let me show you the result of my studies!"

BP - 0/5 (-3)

"Come forth, elements of the world! Lend unto me your power!!"

Durian's staff crackles with energy as six large bolts of energy fly from it at once- one fire, one ice, one lightning, one wind, one light, and one dark. The sheer strain Durian put on himself forces him to kneel on the ground to take a breather- he won't be able to make any attacks next turn, and his movement is restricted.

"That was... exhausting... Gotta move..!"

Durian is struggling to get back on his feet.

Dust and Bones

Denji detransforms and stand triumphant over his enemy. He doesn't really know if it was a meaningful victory, but it's a victory all the same. Rubbing his hands, he winces when he feels his wounds, moreso from surprise than pain. Huh! And right when he had no blood to use to heal at this point. Still, he can soldier on. Worse come to worse, he could try to see if there was blood in the sewage.

Watching as Liam is helped up, the half-naked Denji approaches him to size him up, looking at him up and down while moving a finger to scratch his nether regions, looking to ward off a inch that had formed there, likely due to chaffing. He then leans forward, giving him a look of contempt mixed with genuine curiosity. And pity.

Bro, why'd you fight that thing alone like that? Are you.... stupid?

He then move up to Joseph, glancing at him up and down and frowning. What if it was still the sussy impostor? They needed a method to determine which was his buddy Joseph and which was Oreo.

Huhhhhhhhh what's my favorite flavor of ice cream? Denji says, eyes narrowing, a confident smirk at his foolproof method of detection.

Freddy Pizzaplex

At the bottom of the hole, so deep and dark Victoria can't see anything, a pair of yellow X'es light up, like eyes staring back from the abyss.

Then they blink and move. There's a mechanical shuffling, the sound of slumping, dragging limbs as whatever is down there begins to crawl its way out.

Mission: Analyze the Giant Monster

"That sounds ridiculous," 21 says to Laura. "And yet..."

She nods to Sofía.

"Stand back. I'll clear a landing zone."

With that, she fires off ki blasts and blows away the rock spires, flattening out the area to allow Schwarz's helicopter to land, which it does.

"We've found some plants that had no business growing here," 21 reports. "Professor Luna suspects a connection to Eldergleam Sanctuary, which was on our list of leads."

"You got it. That'll be our next stop, then."


Pizza Place

   "Hmph. You can stay down there."   

The very breath Victoria releases from her words reaches the flesh pit, and with a simple gesture of closing her fist, the hole seals itself shut with webbing-like growths.

Pizza Place

The shuffling stops.

Then a moment later, a humanoid figure with noodley limbs and a chibi-proportioned head just appears right next to Victoria, sporting the same yellow X eyes on a conjoined visor face. A face that is pressing right up against hers, with a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth and a lolling black tongue, which is somehow spazzing out of her mouth like it's playing some wicked air guitar.

And white hair for some reason.

   "That was. Rude of you. Apologize? Y/N."    it says in a flat, text-to-speech-sounding voice.

Victoria silently glares at the demented robot.

After a moment, the flesh from the pit forms into tentacles with bladed tips that arc up toward the ceiling before stabbing down at the machine.

The robot 'dodges' by abruptly crumpling, bending over backwards as the tentacles pass overhead and get lodged in the floor. It then slightly lifts its head to smash the back of it it against the ground with enough force to briefly send itself flying off the ground a couple of feet, smoothly landing back upon its two feet.

It raises up one hand and taps on the tentacles.

   "Well now. That is. Interesting."   

It twists its index and middle fingers together with its thumb, forming a symbol of a pentagon with three arrows protruding out of it, then twists its wrist and the tentacles burst into a rain of blood. Its path unobstructed, the robot swings itself back upright. Every motion is like a puppet or zombie.

   "A. Human? With my abilities? An interesting. Sight. I would. Love. To understand how."   

The weird pause on 'human' implies doubt as to whether Victoria really is human.

Then, with sounds of cracking and splitting, two large limbs extrude from its back, more organic than metallic, each bearing a blade with the curve of a scythe and the width of a cleaver.

   "But you picked. N. So I will never. Understand. Because you're going to. DIE. Now.   

Then it crouches like it's about to spring forward, only to disappear completely and reappear already in midair, twisting its whole body as one of those bladed limbs thrusts forth to skewer Victoria through the heart.

   FYI. I'd have done that. Even if. You. Picked Y. Anyway

Victoria's eyes widen moments before she gets impaled.

Her hands shake. She looks down at the blade in her chest.

Then, she goes limp.

The robot's features twist into a sadistic grimace, then briefly shift to dissapointed surprise, then back to a smug grin.

   "Ah-How sad-The same weakness, too."   

   "So many-Fragile things-To break in you organics."   

The robot pulls back, ripping out Victoria's heart. It devours the organ in two bites and a spray of blood.

Not content with that, it crawls up to Victoria on all fours. It waits for her body to fall, then grabs the stab wound with its bare hands and tears her ribcage open, caking itself in blood. It digs its hands into her guts and bones, soaks them in the red ooze, and slicks its hair, dyeing it red, all while giggling in a strangely emotive voice.

   "Hahahahahahaha it's been a WHILE Since I got to DO THAT"   

All of a sudden, it stands up perfectly straight, as if it could act 'normal' this entire time, and starts walking out of the Pizza Place while its extra limbs retract into its body.

Pizza Place

Suddenly, more tentacles surge forth and weave together, forming a wall to box the robot monster in.

Behind it, Victoria rises to her feet, swiveling up like a vampire emerging from the coffin. Her head hangs limp until she glares up at the robot with her red slit eyes, now additionally bloodshot.

Her chest knits itself shut, as does the fabric of her clothing, making her look undamaged aside from the bloodstains.

The robot stops and steps back from the tentacle wall, holding up its hands defensively, before it looks back to see Victoria rise.

For a moment, it seems genuinely taken aback. Its eyes revert from X'es to beads, and its Glasgow Grin of a mouth shrinks down to a more reasonable surprised expression.

   "Oh. Okay."   

Then the demonic grin immediately springs back as it runs a finger through its hair.

   "I guess-I can ask-does your blood look good on me?"   

   "I'm about to-Get covered-In It-After all"   

The blade limbs pop back out as the robot lurches closer to Victoria, its eyes turning back into blank Xes. Its foot slips and twists almost fully perpendicular to its leg, but it just keeps walking unbothered.

It points a limp hand at her.

   "While we're- At it-GIVE ME YOUR SKIN. You have-Plentiful-I'll only try to take-All of it."   

Then it springs forward for real and swings the blades together, one on each side of Victoria.

Victoria just stands there. Her socks burst open as her feet transform into claws, anchoring her to the ground. From those claws, more tentacles extend up and form shields of calcium to block the robot's attack. She fires back by having the wall of tentacles curl inward to stab at the robot from behind.

   "Sock Budget-Must be Astronomical-Am I right?"   

The robot's head twists 180º with a human-like crunching noise to face the tentacles as it slashes them away in a shower of viscera. It then nearly turns another 180º around to face Victoria again, although its head stop a bit short of that, leaving her left eye to glare derangedly at her, the process apparently entirely willing on Its part.

Its left hand morphs into a nest of knives, with which it tries to grab and shred her shoulder.

   "Hey-Psst-Say something."   

It follows up by pushing off the ground in an attempt to carry Victoria back and slam her into the back wall of the room with the flesh pit. If successful, it morphs its other hand into another claw and starts slashing away, voice raising with each slash it does, culminating into frenzied shouting matching its earlier outburst.

   "Say something. Talk. Cry. Shout. Scream. Scream. Scream. Scream. Scream. Scream. SCREAM. SCREAM. SCREAM SCREAM SCREEAM SCREEEAAAMM SCREEEEAAAMMMMMM"

Victoria gets grabbed, ripped off her feet, and carried back into the wall, knocking over a table with a computer setup. As the robot keeps carving into her, she keeps regenerating, until eventually she has enough of it and simply collapses into a blob of meat. In the meantime, more tentacles grow out of the flesh pit and try to slam the robot into the same wall, forming a coating of muscle to pin it there, while Victoria slithers out of the way before retaking human shape. She makes sure to restrain its hands while she coolly adjusts her tie.

   "I am the voice that haunts man's dreams. I fill his thoughts with doubt, regret, and anger against his neighbor. I guide the lost to salvation by violence."   

Bone turns fluid and melds together. Her right hand becomes a single large spike.

   "I am a whisper heard in the dead of night. A speech in public under broad daylight. A war cry, a tearful cry. But I do not scream."   

Then she lunges forward to stab through the robot's head.

The robot, surprised by the maneuver, is successfully pinned to the wall. Victoria's hand smashes through its faceplate, gushing oil and wires all over her.

But its mouth keeps moving, and smiling.

   "What a coincidence. I also use people as puppets. Only in my case, they are robots."   

An animatronic endoskeleton sporting yellow eyes with the same arrow-pentagon symbol in its pupils as the one that appeared when the monster exploded the first few tentacles, jumps at Victoria from behind, its shell creaking as it toss itself at her with power unanticipated by its mechanical parts.

   "I wonder what-Those Head Antennas-Can do."    It says, eyeing the endo's rabbit ears curiously. With that momentary distraction, the mechanical monster rips itself free of the muscle mass and lands on the floor, cackling as its head regenerates in a slurry of blood-like liquid. Its eyes briefly display that same symbol.`

Victoria notices the endoskeleton before it attacks.

   "I can see that,"    she growls in response to her foe's self-description. She whips around, morphing her hand from blade to club, and smashes the endo's head to pieces in a single blow.

   "Another thing you'll never know."   

It lacks the benefit of any self-repair features, so that's that for the mook. Unfortunately, it took just long enough for the real threat to heal.

   "I also do not pretend it will help them. My solution to everything is simple: Destroy it. Kill them all. Only the useful ones are spared. Until-They stop being that-Useful, I mean."   

The robot licks the mechanical blood off its face. It puts its fingers in a half-cupped gesture, and an orb appears. Pure black like the void, save for an outline of yellow light and a single word visible on the inside like a digital display: [NULL].

   "Telling-But not showing-make for subpar storytelling-How about I- Show you-The end of your story-Then?"   

It twists its hand to point at the floor, pinches its fingers together, glances up at Victoria to wink, and let the orb falls to the ground.

Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex

The Pizzaplex finds itself in a state akin to being frozen in the middle of an explosion. The entire structure and the surrounding terrain of Onyxis has burst outward into pieces that are suspended in midair, drifting weightless as if in outer space.

The basement provides the cause: A singularity. A sphere of [NULL], now the size of a car, having become a pseudo black hole around which everything else orbits.

Victoria stands in the room just above the deepest underground where the Mimic lies, one of the few spots not torn out from its foundations. She glares at the singularity's source, the Absolute Solver, as it stands on a floating chunk of the office room where the fight had started.

   "Am I supposed to be afraid?"

The Absolute Solver stares blankly.

   "...Yes-I thought you-Would at least-Be Impressed."   

It smiles again as it makes a finger gun gesture with another [NULL] at the tips.

   "No biggie tho-You will have-Time to be afraid-As I peel the flesh-From your skinny bones.."   

J-E-N-O-V-A - Emergence (Phase 1)

It fires the [NULL] at Victoria. The attack is relatively thin like a railgun, and instead of forming a new singularity, it just deletes everything in a spherical area around the point of impact. Then the Solver brandishes an antique medieval sword of all things and starts running at her for a slash.

Sarah

Sarah zoom around at great speed, dodging around the pillars of fire. They complicate her idea on how to proceed to reach Sunstar efficiently, but she quickly get over her doubts when she remembers she's stronger than she think she is, despite that nagging voice in her head telling her she isn't.

Pulling her arms back, Sarah gathers strength into them and thrust them forward. Even as she hit the air instead of Sunstar's face, she feel her rust wear off just a tiny bit more again as she sends a powerful air cannon of an attack at Sunstar, attempting to slam him with a localized shockwave akin to a missile (by their standards) with the aim of causing a shockwave that'll dissipate the flames cold!

Sarah vs. Sunstar

The air cannon sends Sunstar hurtling across Hub Centralis. Even before he can stop himself, he launches a similar shockwave back at Sarah, a blast of pure rippling heat.


Pizzaplex Singularity

Victoria calls up a wall of flesh to block the [NULL] shot. The blast destroys the wall, letting the Solver jump through and slash Victoria's chest open.

This time, she doesn't pretend it might kill her. Still standing unbothered, she grabs her right forearm in her left hand and rips a sword out from her right arm, hilt and all, to slash back at the Solver. The sword is formed of iridescent nacre, the strongest known biological material.

Yuki approached Denji after the last shade was fooking dead.

"Nice work Chainsaw Guy." she said to him with a grin, then silently agreeing that this Liam guy was kinda dumb (insert metaphor about glass houses) but didn't wanna gang up on him. She was then reminded of the whole situation with this Joseph guy she didn't get.

"So he's like, possessed right? Can't we exorcise him with fire or something?" she asked, not really an expert on ghosts.

"That was a pointless encounter with a pointless person."

   "...How-Handy. An ability."   

The Solver is seemingly struck and falls back, only to once again flicker from one movement straight into an attack, its head twitching rapidly and displaying a Slasher Smile as it disappears from the fall and reappears above Victoria in the middle of an overhead cleave, its sword glinting viciously as it audibly cut through the air.

   "Now to-See you Do-The Same-With Half-Your Body."   

Sarah

goes after Sunstar for a blast, appearing over Hub Centralis shortly before being struck by the shockwave and sent flying very fair away, burns appearing over her body and clothes as she get tossed off all the way to Skyrim, in a vague area.

She briefly hover in place, looking miffled, before she retaliate with a black lightning blast straight from her mouth, briefly covering the entire sky of Hub Centralis (although thankfully avoiding aircrafts and the likes) in one big obsidian bolt of power that'll try to similarly engulf Sunstar and send it flying.

Sarah then once again fly after him.

Hub Centralis

Sunstar's conductive flames and plasma can't stop the black lightning, though he tries, putting up another aura before it rips through him and sends him flying even further, leaving him over the ocean.

This time, he stops and waits for Sarah to catch up before he makes another move.


Pizzaplex

Victoria is wising up to these tricks. She sidesteps the slash and swings back at the Solver in a diagonal sword uppercut. In the meantime, her bare feet start to spread a Meat Moss over the ground, setting up a trap she can spring later.

Ocean

The water parts way before Sarah, pillars of it rising after her movements as she try to ram-punch into Sunstar. An inelegant way to start fighting him, as if she'll succeed, she'll try to box him around it, attempting to land several punches to his face or chest via a series of jab from all directions.

Pizza place!!

Absolute Solver avoids the slash by leaning back, briefly tossing its sword into the air while doing so. However, that manoeuver is a lie - the fake sword glitch in mid-air, vanishing in flash of orange sparks as Absolute Solver attack after leaning back to build some momentum, coming with a crushing downward blow that'll split the ground and crack the area further around it.

It'll then push against the sword it has embedded, doing a flip over its tip to try to kick at Victoria before it rips the pointy part out of the ground, twisting its arm to swing the blade out of the ground and bring it overhead before essentially trying to slam it unto Victoria a second time.

Singularity

The fakeout with the weapon is new. Victoria gets caught by the deception and split in half vertically from the sheer force of the blow. The kick sends her halves flying into opposing walls, only for vein-like strings to connect them. They violently pull back together, resulting in Victoria's right half being fused slightly lower than the left.

This is still fine for her, as she parries the second swing with her nacre sword, then takes a moment to fix her improper regeneration before slashing at the Solver's thin neck.
