Susanoo cleaves through the beam like a knife through butter, sending Nightmare reeling back. He retaliates with a barrage of red star-shots rapidly fired in a straight line.
Tanjiro simply looks on in awe.
"I have my own ways of searching for him. And my own horse... who also has his own ways of searching. Anyway, point is, all I need is for you to send for me if you do encounter him. And in case he doesn't talk to you, but you still spot him..." Domon takes a picture of Kyoji
out of his pocket. "Here's what he looks like."
He retaliate by rapidly cutting them down. A few hit and send him back but he retaliate by swinging a blast of magic hail at Nightmare !
...
They look at the picture and seems to memorize it well enough !
Oki ! Doki ! We'll have everyone... or nearly everyone instructed on that. So that if they encounter him, they can tell him about you !

His cape flutters upward and his storm-like body underneath begins spinning, turning himself into some kind of monstrous living tornado... or perhaps a Beyblade. Regardless, he attempts to ram into Susanoo while in this state.
Domon gives Samsara a thumbs-up.
"Got any food, by the way?"
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Susanoo intercept it with his blade, going for a blade lock against his foe's spinning attack !
...
Yep. We grow it outside. We've mostly got vegetable but there's some meat if you want. says Samsara.
I must warn you. While do have excellent cooks, I do not believe that what you will find available will be comparable to what you may find at an inn. says Lucina.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterNightmare's cape clangs against Susanoo and he bounces away... like a Beyblade. However, he comes spinning back in, this time clashing with Susanoo for real without being launched in the opposite direction.
"It's no big deal," Domon replies. "I'll eat anything as long as it's, y'know, edible."
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Shadow stares as the scene unfolds, watching Dark Marik fade from existence. As Dark Bakura steals the Millenium Rod and the Winged Dragon of Ra card for his own ends, Shadow grits his teeth, snarling, and swoops down, sticking a heavy Three-Point Landing that cracks the ground he lands on. He fixes Dark Bakura with a death glare, twin violet lights burning from under the brim of his hat.
"Now, what'd I say about keepin' your nose clean, huh? I don't think either of those belong to you, to be frank, and speaking of 'divine wrath', you're shaping yourself up to be pretty close to receiving some of my own. Of all the times and places to start collecting the Millennium Items, you choose the Arena, when I'm on patrol! Not a wise choice."
"Life isn't a fairytale. There isn't always a 'Happily Ever After' waiting for you at the end of the road." ~ Isengrim Heath-StalkerBakura, startled and wary, immediately turns around. Upon seeing Shadow, he mentally curses.
"You again..."
He then takes a moment to calm down however, and his scowl turns into a rather smug grin.
"That's where you're wrong." , he says. "He and I played a Shadow Game, and I won fair and square. Going by the ancient rules, defeating someone in a duel, no matter what kind of duel, gives you the right to take and use that person's Millenium Item. The Millenium Rod is officially mine now."
He then chuckles while playing with Ra's card in his fingers.
"Besides, if we go by Battle City rules, then I can also take his rarest card. Which just so happens to be The Winged Dragon of Ra."
He points the Millenium Rod at Shadow. Not to use it though, just for dramatic effect.
"You, God, can't do a thing to me. Because I've played by the rules the entire time."
Then he makes himself look like his other half, the kind and innocent Ryou Bakura, and it's chilling how, even though Ryou isn't a part of him anymore, he can still pass off as him flawlessly.
"Which means you'd be in the wrong if you try to stop me here while I've done nothing wrong myself.", he says, making himself sound exactly like Ryou. "In terms of crimes, I'm as innocent as can be."

...
Not much to say, apart from the fact that the base is very clean and that some of the Sheperds are dwelling within, being busy with handling weapons or books.
It's not easy to notice that, while there are 8 persons currently around, one could hear 9 footsteps.

In the main hall of Windhelm's Palace of the Kings, Thor and Loki sit at the banquet table, feasting and drinking as they discuss their new plan to eliminate Thanos.
"Thor, I know many words that perfectly describe Thanos, but 'stupid' has never been among them," Loki says. "I simply cannot imagine him being foolish enough to fall for the exact same bloody trick twice."
"I understand your concern, Loki. Should Thanos catch onto our plan, the consequences will undoubtedly be far more severe," Thor replies. "But I assure you, brother, things will go differently this time around. For instance, we'll have more allies to rely on besides my... oafish counterpart."
The half-Jotun strokes his chin thoughtfully.
"True... and I must admit, I do like the idea of that insufferable purple ape realizing too late that I've outmaneuvered and made a fool of him. But what about the Black Order?"
The blonde-haired Asgardian finishes his cup of mead.
"Now that Thanos knows we've been plotting against him, I imagine he'll soon dispatch them to eliminate us and our allies. That should grant us the opportunity we need to deal with those bootlicking sycophants."
"And... if they remain stationed on his ship when during my second infiltration?"
"Then bring allies along with you, like Sif or the twins, should they manage to see through your illusion. Perhaps Rogers could join you as well."
Loki shrugs, finishing the remainder of his meal.
"You know, it's a pity that boy, Miles, seemingly vanished halfway through our little war with Galeem and Dharkon. He would have been a keen ally against Thanos."
"Indeed. Wherever the Hel he went, I pray that he returns soon," Thor replies after consuming his remaining food. "Even if he'd likely attempt to dissuade us from pitting Katre and Troa against Set..."
With that, the brothers rise from the table and walk out through the palace's doors, then begin making their way through the streets of Windhelm.

Nightmare flies over Susanoo's head, cackling as he goes.
Way off in the distance, he does a fly-by, launching a volley of powerful exploding stars at... Tanjiro. Then he teleports back over to Susanoo's location.
A split-second before the stars break through Susanoo's wall of wind with sheer force and numbers, Semargl appears in front of Tanjiro and erects a barrier of his own made of flames, making them detonate. "Nice try. Finish him."
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Susanoo lunges forward and seemingly appear behind Nightmare, with Kusanagi in hand.
At first, nothing happen and then, if he hit, the stars start to be split in half, vanishing into the aether as they do. They split quickly, with the attack reaching Nightmare and outright cutting him in half if he was in Susanoo's own path.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterNightmare's image blurs into a bunch of pretty colors. He thrashes about as light pours from his eyes and mouth, then he dissolves into nothing, leaving only the light. Soon, that too disperses in a shower of sparkles.
Semargl looks over at Tanjiro. "Are you okay?"
"I... I'm alright! Thank you very much!"
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Semargl begins to light aflame, preparing to depart.
"Before you go," Tanjiro says, "I just have one question."
"Hm?"
"Are you gods?"
"... Yes. But not of your world."
"Wow..."
Semargl turns away and bursts into a small flare of flickering flames.

At the hot spring-covered part of Eastmarch, Anthony

, his lack of a jacket revealing both the grey sleeveless shirt beneath it and the small scars on his arms where his tendrils came from. Now that he and Zola had done their part in the final showdown with Galeem and Dharkon, they could return home and hopefully resume their peaceful life. However, there was one thing left to do first...
He removes his boots and sets them aside before stripping off his shirt, exposing his lean, surprisingly muscular physique.
Zola is already sitting in it, having gotten in herself a few moments before Anthony does. She looks very relaxed, more so than usual.
"I have to admit, you were right... this is worth it.", she says when he's about to get in too. She glances at him, seeing his chest, and, in a perhaps surprising move for her, lets out a low whistle while smirking teasingly.

Anthony's gaze flickers to Zola when she speaks up. Despite his initial surprise when she actually whistles at the sight of his bare chest, he nonetheless offers her a coy smile in return.
"Heh... I'll be with you in just a minute, my lioness," he says, his tone surprisingly seductive.
After taking a moment to get fully undressed, he settles into the hot spring beside Zola, letting out a contented sigh as he puts an arm around her.
"A minute feels pretty long by myself.", she chuckles. She relaxes some more when Anthony puts his arm around her.
"I don't remember the last time I've been in one of these. Regardless, I highly prefer my current company over being on my own. He's pretty good looking, y'know.", she says, slightly teasing some more as she pokes his chest once.

Susanoo yells in approval and fire a air slash at the beam, intending to cut it in half to try to hit Nightmare.
He also raises a wall of air for the mortals, to hide behind if anything happen.
...
I see, this is... troubling. We have our own problems but we could afford a wyvern or horse.
Careful. With our numbers, even one missing person means a pretty hefty lose in manpower.
True but.... the farthest that princess is from... no, no. Remember what that guy said.
