Altarena

Andrew is still in the middle of respite, which is put short as he flails out his club as a partly desperate attempt on his end to fend off the beast. Letting go of the club and going in for a sucker punch with the club coalescing around the fist, but it was surprisingly to The Juggernaut's benefit as it got a tighter hold of him, flinging him to his own wall. Thankfully, it was his own wall, so the stone began to meld, mold, and crumble around him to roll him upon contact to soften the blow.

The spell would have continued following the beast, but in combination with his exhaustion and being hit, gets disabled. Andrew having to continue idling to recover lost stamina.

The Void of Space

Kroq-Gar would look to Apothea, and decide that if she really wished for him to explain it she'd ask as she has done before. He waited around, walking around the vessel with an uncomfortable feeling of... Was it anxiety? No... It couldn't. Saurus never felt anxious about combat. But Apothea could hear his Frenzied steps.

Halcon had a very significant question to ask, and seemed now was the best time now that Kroq-Gar was facing the rampway, clawing his feet at the floor.

"... Warpstone Gas... Who makes it?"

Kroq-Gar anseered flatly, vindication lacing his every word.

"A cosmic abortion. Summoned forth by ruin. Xa'kota, The Unnatural Rat-Spawn."


Greentide

Grimgor was impressed that she could even take a punch like, even the greatest Everchosen would stumble back from such a blow. But as she grit her teeth and punch back, he headbutted the blow in turn, which actually made his own head ring a little as he stumbled back, still gripping her. But this was a Propa brawl! He laughed in a sinister, jovial cackle a she tried to throw both of them down the hill, making sure they had their weapons of rourse.

   "HAHAHAHAA! GUD TO HAV YA BACK UMIE!"   

The two tumbled down, Grimgor holding Gitsnik in his jaw as he tried to grab her by her hair and punch her throat, as the two tumbled on towards the rest of the battlefield.

A few Gargants stumbled back from the firing, trying to shield themselves, while an unlucky few were twitching as they fell, pocketed with exit wounds as they fell to the grouns. Razerscale was immediately pocketed with bullet wounds and the Wyvern fell from the sky with a horrified roar. Rotgut stopped his butchery of the Centurions to watch this go down, his eye twitching as he grabbed the closest enemy, and crushed their skull flat. Steam could be seen escaping his nostrils as he raised his head up, and bellowed out a great roar.

The Fight had just kicked up a notch.

Across the battlefield the Greentide seemed invigorated by the call, their eyes now focused on their opponents with a strange stillness. The Black Orcs had already been a pain, but soon they made their own formation: arrow shaped as they charged back against the Frontline, crashing against it yet making sure they took the brunt. For the Boar Boyz to make a mess. Crashing on the opposite sides of the Black Orcs formation were hippo sized swine and their equally terrifying riders. The Clubs and Cleavers of the chargers made quick work of anyone caught in their wake, as the Swine continued to charge regardless of the injuries they were sustaining. The Average Boy and Big Un' charged in after the Boar Riderz, fighting as a far more unified force as they now locked blades against their opponents, while the goblins went for the heels and dangly bits. Bodies continued to stack on both sides, but now it seemed extraordinarily difficult to make any forward movement against the tide, as more creatures continued to charge towards the legion.

The Utensil Usurpers started to... Make bread with the fallen goblins? Skarsnik stared on in shock and finally just shouted, revealing himself from his fancy rock hiding spot as Gobbla just casually stared on with a empty-headed expression.

"WAT DA ACTUAL ZOG IS ZIS?! OI CAME HERE FOR A FIGHT! HORRRRRRRRDE! FUCKIN BEAT EM TO DEATH!"

The Calvary continued to zoom past the knights as they went for the backline mages, Some Fire Kobolds running along side them as their intense focus made them seem almost like a hive mind. A few Carrion-Vultas swooped down to grab any poor knight and mage trying to stop them, lifting them up to be butchered by the Flying Kruleboy riders, or simply dropped back onto the field. A great stampeding could be heard as approaching the front line was... A horrifying sight. Spiders, bigger then a townhouse, charging forward upon their spiked limbs. Stop their backs was many a Gobbla, raising their arms before throwing their javelins onto their foe below them, ad the spiders immediately went to trz and eat the... Stirred and literally doughy composition of the fallen goblins.

Amidst the Chaos, Skarnsnik calmlz walked over to Green as she battered her opponents into submission... Which was just short for fucking mauling them. He coughed so she would hear him before being surprised, the goblin fixing his spine laidened hood crown onto his head. And so he spoke up, with voice like a squeakier, more sinsiter attempt at mirroring Gilbert Godfrey's.

"MISSES GREEN! I have a business preposition for the low-low price of free!"

The charging cannon fodder was soon being gunned down by the Silent One's flesh rails, but they were closing in. The engineers stood forward and immediately took out a massive skull like apparatus that resembled a whale's skull connected to a tanned leather bagpipe, and when they pulled back a bone lever, the skull opened a great burst of ignited napalm engulfed the oncoming chargers,the stickz substance tying them down in place as they were slowly boiled. The gun fire continued, and soon emerging in the middle of the charging mass was Cazdathos herself. She stood a good three heads taller than anz of them present. Behind her terrifying warmask, colored in ashen bone pale, with red markings around the eyes and as stripes across the frill while green dots lined it's edges, her true face was hidden. But as she roared out and began to slice I to her opponents, her intentions were revealed. It was a whirl wind of blades, as she would occasionally grab a man by their hips, crushing the bone beneath her Scorpion Claw, and throw them to the carnage down below. And she was efficient in it as well. On the back flanks of the charging mass barking could be heard as well, as Silent Ones charged forward with jagged chelicerae polearms lowered, stabbing them stop their blades.

But the barking came from their warhounds. Dobson Hounds:, Six legged beast with shear like bills and a carapaced body propelled forward with four arms and hooved legs. Their long snouts found out hade on whorver they could, as their claws slashed through armor and flesh alike as tossed the pieces to the side, holding them in place with their jaws.

And in the carnage the Gnoblar carrying the chest tripped, the piece falling out and landing before a absent minded Terme, who looked to it with his gnarled exoskeletal hands, as his near skull like face chittered. He looked to a spot in the construct to see where to install it. At first he believed he found it, but as soon as he recognized it the piece flew from his hand into the gate, and the energies from it started to swirl. Every color of the spectrum visible or not swirled within it, as the earth the parties were atop of began to quake, cliff faces shaking as rocks freed from their purchase rained down upon both sides, and pockets of air above them spontaneously combusted and rained down searing ice. Wailing was heard on the other side, as some of the Greenskins and Silent One's directly next to it covered their ears and ran, feeling entirely discombobulated from the chaos. The landmass even felt like it was shifting, as rivers ran backwards and mountains slid across the arena's surface, as if arranding themselves into a jagged fortress around the Dreamstalk. Intrigue was morphing, and even the sky seemed to shift too as it became a fiery orange, and felt heavy with dust that coated the ground and corpses in what seemed to be golden flakes.

Adam doesn't get what's happening, nor does he care because he trusts Claus will handle the boring part of interrogating. He yawns and leans against a tree, grabbing Gram and sort of swinging it downward and upward with a bored glance, practicing his moves while carefully eyeing the soldier's neck.

As the interrogation concludes, he lets out a relieved sigh and approach, doing light spinning motions with his sword. There's audible hissing as it cuts the air.

Of course, he says, as he attempts to remember where Estraole is. May I slay him yet? That we might move on to our greater journey while leaving no evil being unscathed. He comments, grinning in anticipation. Like a child really looking out for candies. Let him die knowing that we are about to tear apart his evil organization and send its members down screaming into the darkest pit of the eight hell!

He blinks, look at the left corner of his mouth, and wipe what looks like the beginning of some drooling.

Sorry, I get excited easily.

...

Azura is indeed around Hub Centralis, devoid of her beloved Axe, Hel. For she considered that such a weapon would be too intimidating for her mission. She instead wears regular clothing, with a long black turtleneck dressgoing down her ankles, with her hair slicked back and Gor's four-pronged cross tied around her neck as a necklace. It's neat and simple and she doesn't need her armor or axe anyway, because she trusts that no violence will be too great in Hub Centralis. And she's confident in her strength anyhow, or that people will help.

She also has two thermos tied to a red belt around her waist, for... purposes, and high-heels to make her surpass the threshold of being eight feet tall. Her musculature is also notable thanks to her exposed arms, which could dissuade those looking for a damsel to torment around here.

What bothers her isn't quite violence, actually.

Hm...

It's a way to transmit her message. Hub Centralis is big, and every district, even that failed future cesspit Night City, deserves to hear of Gor. Slapping down fliers isn't enough, she'd need more, something to get everyone's attention, because paper is easy to ignore but an announcement broadcasted across the city could get attention.

Still, it'd be bad to just ignore Meteorika's works, and she doesn't want to set a bad example by ignoring her work to do what she think would work yet, so she slaps fliers around town, on vitrines, walls. Everywhere that doesn't quite bother people in its omnipresence, but still get attention. By the time the Kid reach her, she's very meticulously gluing a flier to a wall, creating a small purple area on the wall itself before putting down the flier. Not a centimeter off from the others, mind you.

The ensemble look clean and efficient, almost maniacal in how it's assembled. She can't help but be sad about her work, because someone will tear it apart or destroy the fliers for cheap laughs and-

She turns her head to the Kid, eyes wide, as if offended. She opens her mouth even, but close it, realizing that this is a multiversal nexus and he might not know what Elves are. Hello. she raises her index, then grabs a thermos and drink from it, index from the other hand still raised. Then, she close it and set it back on her belt.

I am an elf. My skin and hair color are different from a human because of that. Be careful about voicing questions about skin color so... bluntly. It will do you much good.

She glances at him, then leans forward, necessary for communication when she's so tall. Your question answered, please satisfy my curiosity as well. What do you mean by "game"?

...

Your speed has increased. Malenia says, much more bluntly, rubbing her jaw to verify the damage. Then, she also immediately enter the clash, letting her hair get grabbed as she moves her left hand to his face, attempting to dig her fingers into and through his green skin, and her thumb through his eye socket. She does feel pain at getting her hair tugged, and her throat being punched gets even Malenia to groan, yet she barrels through the pain.

Because being punched by a towering jade titan of pure rage and musclepower is fatal for a lot of people but not Malenia. It hurts, mind you, but she intends to make it hurt as well by trying to repeatedly stab him through the stomach, using her long and heavy sword with dexterity to make a Londoner envious. There isn't much tactic: she could aim higher, but she, too, lose herself to the battle against a worthy foe.

She attempts to shank him repeatedly as they tumble, her healing helping but far from negating with the damage to her throat. She begins to spit blood over his fist, but persists with her shanking.

Turns out people don't necessarily like it if you break the fourth wall. Oops.

"Uhh, game? Like, video game? Uh, how do I explain this..."

Kid rapidly spins around several times, then jumps up twice.

"You know what a computer is, right?"

Azura folds her arms and tilt her head to the side, watching intensely at first, as if he's explaining her the "how" behind a very complex technique of a sort. Then, she just raises an eyebrow, looking confused, but still trying to get it until he stops jumping. Exercising is good, but... maybe "game" is what you... Oh. She nods a little, and begin to ponder, tapping her foot against the ground and rubbing her curled index on her sharp chin.

Then, she snaps her fingers, with the hint of a proud smirk on her face; Yes, but I rarely interact with them. Do you play games on them? How? Do you watch someone jumping around on them? Her joy goes away, replaced by honest confusion, all subdued beneath her composed façade.

Alt Arena

Boreas's belly mouth opens up again, only to be forced to stay open by the tendrils skewering him from multiple directions. He doesn't seem critically wounded, but he is trapped in place, struggling to break free.


Cittufeni

Zero continues following at a distance and watching until the fight is over.

"Very nice," he says, still keeping a distance. "He's freaking terrifying."

Gero scoffs. "Maybe to you."


Winterhold

"You bet! And I can unleash my full potential to get even stronger!" Cirno pumps her fist triumphantly.

She actually does look impressed by Luna's claim, staring at her with wide eyes and an otherwise flat mouth. "Whoa... you could probably train with me."

2fort2furious

Flandre notices Stefan's projectile first, which causes her to move away and conveniently kept her out of Sarah's initial attack range. Looking at the two of them then at her new weapon, Flandre smirks and points it at the ground. She fires at them first then right at her own feet, ignoring the damage rather easily and propelling herself up to the battlements like a high flying American, assuming no interruptions, where'd she continue her noob rush if possible. Otherwise if Sarah closes into melee she'd switch to Laevateinn to meet her attack.


   "Hmm... bored."    Rumia says, still in her side's sewers. She decides she might need a change of scenery so she starts lazily floating to the enemy sewers instead, going over the moat there to once again hide in the shadows.


Hub Centralis, Cultist Zone

Murasa had ended up bored of the futuristic ship and hopped out, ignoring some startled crew members seeing a woman just jump off a floating ship. That had been some time ago and since then she'd been mostly drifting from place to place, not having any sort of end goal right now. Fortunately for her, she did find something to occupy her time. Some posters for a foreign god's church, Gor, were all over the place. Name was a bit weird and she got the sneaking suspicion the posters were exaggerating aspects but her curiosity was peeked enough to want to find out more details.

Conveniently one of the flier distributors was right there! A super tall elf lady, which was new to her, she hasn't seen elves in Gensokyo. Of course by the time she gets close enough to chat, some kid with a gun of all things started chatting first.

"Ahoy there! You're working with those Gor guys right?" she asks with a hopefully disarming smile after letting him get his word in. "I'm from a temple as well so kinda curious how yours works."


Winterhold

"Ah, well I prefer not killing in general I guess." Luna said, rubbing her arm awkwardly. Luna then looks rather worried at the prospect of training with this Cirno. "Aha, to be fair it only was one time. The shrine maiden also still kicks our butts every time. I do wanna get stronger though."

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

"Yeah, there are these things called I Wanna Be The Guy fangames, which is where I'm from... and I figured you'd be from a video game as well. Uh, whatever, it's not that important."

Upon hearing a new voice, the Kid spins around.

"Hey, are you from Touhou?"

The Void of Space

Apothea remains still. One could mistake her for a statue in this particular instance- it isn't as if much of her skin is showing to mark her as a living thing, anyways.

She is deep in thought, anxious about the fighting that is inevitably to come. With the outcome uncertain and the enemy potentially worse than any she has faced before, she decides she is not going to hold back whatsoever.

It's something she's barely ever done before. In the arena, it still isn't much, of course, but... she hopes it will be enough anyways.

Perhaps unwisely, she does not ask any questions, preferring to let Kroq-gar continue answering Halcon's questions instead.

Makima looks to the cannibal ahead of her, before glimpsing at her surroundings. There's people around. Cops, citizens... but most of them are on the run.

Makima makes a finger gun behind her back, and simply tries to backpedal away to avoid a confrontation. These people around her may be lesser than her if her life comes to it, but... they don't completely deserve death.

... I see. Thank you, I will research being the guy thoroughly. She puts an hand on her chest and bow slightly, politely, feeling like she's tapping into weird matters and preparing a ramp-off to politely get out of this particular conversation. She finds one when someone else steps into the fold, from one of the pantheons Gor will destroy in their rise;

Well, not that she needs to know that. Azura smiles politely and turn to her, briefly nodding to the Kid so as not to be too rude.

Yes. She says, nodding in respect. I am Azura, a believer in Gor. So why indeed, I would be one of the guys with Gor, she says, completely straight-faced. I would be delighted to talk to you about their greatness, yet such a task might be fulfilled by one of our esteemed scholars and great priests, for I must scatter these fliers around town.

She think about what the Kid said. Touhou? Was that a c… a game? But….

Focus on the fliers.

She hold them up, there's still a decent lot of them left. Curiously, she's holding all that paperwork like she's presenting the new Lion King or something, arms held up really high overhead, face serene yet proud, etc. Then she lowers them.

However, I have realized that... it might be perhaps more effective yet to use a computer and the internet to spread Gor's words more effectively. Why, I fear that a hooligan might destroy them, or that they might be mistaken as daily sight pollution such as ads and ignored. Should you have the patience to follow me until I commandeer a computer, I could guide you.

Apothea's stillness did not get unnoticed by Kroq-Gar. He turned to face her, looking at her as he expected something to happen. It was odd being a creature meant for war surrounded by those who... Really weren't. She did not have thick scales, a shock-absorbent skull, kill switches, or any of that. Most creatures were not amce for war. And so Kroq-Gar had to remind himself if that, not to be too hasty... And so as the ship glided through the stars towards their next destination, he spoke up to both of them.

"If need be... I'll be there one out there to offer distraction. I know what the Xa'kota are capable of... I don't want you guys to go through that..."

"Uh, yeah I'm from the East. Not sure how you guessed that." Murasa said, misinterpreting the Kid completely. "Name's Minamitsu Murasa, though you can just call me Murasa." She then turns to Azura.

"Yeah, punks can be like that sometimes. Or folks from less friendly religions. Have to deal with that pyromaniac Taoist back home sometimes, she's lucky she's got the crown prince to hide behind." Murasa grumbled. "Anyway, sure thing. Hijiri says to keep an open mind and stuff. Plus I've never used one of those 'computers' from the outside world so curious to see you use one."

These characters aren't taking the Kid seriously, are they?

"I didn't mean- hold on a second."

The Kid takes a closer look at one of the fliers.

"Wait, these actually relate to something? I don't know what it is, but sign me up!"

He excitedly jumps around Murasa and Azura. Finally, something meaningful to do!

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

"No," Apothea says, swiftly refusing to accept Kroq-gar's offer, "We fight together. I may not know what it is we are fighting, but I will not accept you putting yourself in danger."

She remains still, but continues to speak. "If you are so concerned, tell me of the danger, of what these Xa'kota are capable of. Then, I need not be surprised."

Apothea may not be designed for war, but she's done a pretty good job of optimizing herself for battle. There's a lot you can do with magic, after all.

It isn't the same, of course. Compared to Kroq-gar, her biology makes her... fragile, in a sense.

That won't stop her.

Temple of Miraak

Ascended Laxin is aghast at Laxin's corrupted state, but he slowly rises to his feet.

Fallen Ami continues to glare at Ynn until the moment Summer Sarah emerges, which puts her off-balance. She falls to one knee and looks up.

Nobody else makes a move, not even Brave Amelia, which at least means Amelia has an easy time breaking her hold.

"How did you do it?" Ascended Laxin asks Summer Sarah.

    How she did it 

Summer Sarah once again uses her surfboard as a shield against Sarah's mighty blow, but the sheer force knocks it away and out of her hands, in addition to sending her tumbling through the sea. Thinking quickly as she spirals away, she... takes the lobster off her head and throws it at Sarah.

Empowered by Limit Breaker's energy and being underwater, it hurtles forth to jab Sarah with its pincers!

This... won't actually do much damage.

-

Sarah is about to do it. She throws her fist back, a triumphant smile on her face as she anticipates a punch to knock herself out. It'd be a triumph, to take the upper hand against herself! And she warps her hand in the Necrosword's energy, black lightning coursing through. The water around her evaporates as she takes off, a projectile of pure raw power... A redheaded bullet, more than strong enough to cleave through stars in half, launching herself with the firm intention of coming back victorious, and surpassing her past self!

And the lobster is thrown.

Through Sarah's inhuman senses and speed, she sees the lobser. The lobster going Super Saiyan. The lobster throwjinsdnzejdnzeznehahahahahahaha THE LOBSTER!!!! THE LOOBSSTEERRRRR!!!

... GAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THE LOBS-TEUR!

Sarah laughs, and make a fatal mistake! For she loses her concentration, thus turn off Limit Breaker, thus allows the empowered Lobster to knock her over. Not hurt, but knock over, and cancel her attack as a reason. And she doesn't even get it, because she's laughing through it all. However, at the last moment, her eyes widen in realization and-

-

"Really that funny, huh?"

With the opening she's created, Summer Sarah whips up a whirlpool with one hand to start dragging Sarah around and around, making her go faster and faster, until she rams her fist into Sarah full force, using their combined momentum colliding to hit even harder!

-

Sarah is too surprised to think up a proper comeback, instead, with her hand still wrapped in the necroglove, she attempts to deliver the meatiest strike she can, but without her previous power-up and momentum, it's unlikely to earn her the win!

Of course! She finds the time to say, before being struck and knocked out cold, her body slamming deep into the underground floor.

"Well?" asks Summer Sarah. "What. Now?"

Kirrey is mentally confirming suspicions. Summer Sarah is the strongest fighter on his side still standing. Most of the others he summoned have lost or are losing their fights.

"If that's all, I'll be going home now."

"No."

Kirrey raises Breidablik, switching it back to its default form of a gun. "You're gonna beat everyone else here. I don't want a single person leaving with their kneecaps intact, got that?!"

A stream of blue light flows from Breidablik to Summer Sarah... then shatters.

"I don't believe that was in the original contract."

Blue light encapsulates each of the alts, one after another, before breaking away like glass. Kirrey tried to rewrite their contracts, but by the rules of Breidablik, he broke the contracts by trying to keep a leash on those who had already fulfilled their purpose.

   "Hold that thought."    Brave Amelia rushes over and punts Kirrey into a temple wall with the GUARDIAN's foot. Surprisingly, he's still alive, but she flips him off for good measure before turning back to face Amelia.

Brave Oca scoffs.    "In the end, he was just blinded by nerd rage. I get it, but... man."   

Fallen Ami seems offended by that notion.

Results

Portals back to the alts' worlds emerge, granting them a way home.

Scion Eve gives Eve a small sword matching the one embedded in her version of Nidrugg. "If you ever need a bit of extra power, cut yourself with this, and I will come to aid you."

Summer Sarah sets down Sarah, recalls her surfboard, takes a large sunflower ornament off the side of her head and puts it in Sarah's hair. "It was fun while it lasted. Maybe I'll see you again some day!"

Scion Eve and Summer Sarah leave.

Ascended Laxin rips off his hood and tosses it at Laxin's feet before turning to leave. "Cover your shame, I have nothing to hide."

Ascended Laxin leaves.

Flame Tribe Ynn summons forth a long bandage, rolled up into a ball. It matches the bandages wrapped around her arms and chest. She tosses it at Ynn.    "Have fun, me!"   

With that, she departs through the portal.

Flame Tribe Ynn leaves.

Desert Luin climbs off Lutemis's back, down the Rathian's foot, and drops down onto Sandstone, then onto the ground. She looks at her portal, looks at Sandstone, looks at the world around her...

"I believe the Gilded One brought us here for a reason. We're going to stay."

Brave Amelia scoffs and stomps off to go get repairs. And medical attention.    "We'll finish this later. You have plenty of time, don't you?"   

Desert Luin stays as KiriK's and Brave Amelia becomes Irish's.

Young Cecil tosses a rolling pin at Cecil.    "I'll probably break this one if I try to use it, so you have it. Gonna get me a new pin back home..."    He grumbles and stomps off into the portal.

Ninja Mark wakes up, looks back at the portal, shrugs, and turns away. "Might as well go on new adventures."

Young Cecil leaves and Ninja Mark becomes Bonini's.

Brave Oca powers down to base form and hefts Thundercrusher. "Welp. Imma go find Neuff in this world and show off."

wow he did not even hesitate to stay

Fallen Ami looks back at her portal. What's left for her there? What reason would she ever have to go back? To face her former friends and family?

No. Even if she has to endure a mirror image of her old life whose very existence taunts her, she's not going back.

Brave Oca and Fallen Ami stay as KiriK's.

Dancer Refia waves a silent goodbye to herself. She's gotta get back to the dance, and she doesn't want to waste any more time talking. She does conjure up a bat-shaped hair clip and toss it to Refia, who catches it, closes her hand around it, and smiles.

Halloween Schezo finally recovers from the effects of Sting Shade and stands up. "Hmph! This isn't over! I'll stay in this world until I have the perfect potion to make you fall to your knees and beg! 'Oh, please! I'll do anything!'"

Schezo, who has a goddamn Chaos Emerald, scoffs. "Very well. I'll be waiting to harvest your power once it's grown to its peak!"

Dancer Refia leaves and Halloween Schezo becomes KiriK's.

Temple of Miraak

Ynn catches the bandages tossed to her by her counterpart, and stores them away somewhere safe. They vanish in her hands, going to... wherever that is.

She can't think of a use for them right now... but who knows?

From there, she stays in front of Fallen Ami.

   "You aren't going back,"    she says,    "Why?"    she asks.

Perhaps an insensitive question, but she is trying to be kind.

The only issue is that she does not have very much practice, helping someone like this. Not like Angel did, when she helped her.

Yatta!

Tropique

Captain Claus looked down at the pitiful gremlin on the ground, considering if he had any more information for them use. Upon realizing he likely didn't, the soldier shrugged. "Go ahead." He gave Adam the killing order, the immediate threat of danger dying with the gray elf.

"Our next destination'll be…"Marlington". You're more experienced with this place, so if you really wanna help me find Herr Kalt and kill him, then I'll be following your lead. I'm ready to head out to Estraole when you are." Adam had, oddly enough, earned the soldier's trust already. The man was powerful and eager to help, and he certainly wasn't hiding his morals like the asshole bureaucrats he was so used to dealing with.

With great power…you know the rest.

Then is it settled! Let us go on to find a computer! She says, suddenly with much more energy, even throwing her papers into the air. A purple glow surround them as they fly off on their own to stick to wall, and she stay there, a look of frozen shock upon her faces. Sweat rolls down her cheek, as the corner of her lip and eye twitch

... Where can we find computers? she says, somewhat less dignified. I am not sure the church has acquired any yet. Those are set to be right before opening day. She glances elsewhere. You seem to be knowledgeable in many things, like a wise scholar, she points to the Kid. Do you know where we could acquire a computer? It would be most laudable of you to know, for our quest would progress at a fast pace.

She has a slight smile on her face, seeming excited about the prospect of learning newer, morer things, and that tint of joy is in her voice, yet she also has to conceal it a little.

...

... Hrmngh... Sarah wakes up to see her Summer Self leaving, after leaving her with a cool parting gift. She smiles and waves back, somewhat dully. I won't lose next round! Take care of Demo, Niko, Sandra and even Argo. She then smiles, glancing at the flower and deciding to never leave it get destroyed until then! For her, it's a reminder of a fight she didn't win, so she'll have to carry it until she can beat the one who beat her.

That being herself.

Eve takes her gift solemnly, she'd have a lot of things she'd love to say... but yet... Please, take care and do good, as always. You've figured things out, I feel, so... enjoy yourself. When we'll meet again, I'll have things in order. She smiles, though she begins to tear up silently once Scion Eve leaves. She's bitter at being denied an opportunity to get the answers she want, to figure out a "why" to things, how good and evil really works and if she's doing the right thing.

But she still smiles, and dispel those tears really quickly, clapping her hands to speed up a timely healing "shockwave", a mix of Healing Magic mixed with harmless Blast Magic to give it speed and shape. Only Laxin is purposefully ignored, the Sith Lord's circle turning gray as it gets near him. Well done, everyone! Free healing for everyone!

... So, Sarah sits down. How much do you know about what went down? Oh hey Oca, she does a wave. Was that Thundercrusher? Man, that was neat, but when you try Mjolnir, it's hard to go back.

What went down? The lobster making you... Eve looks confused, but Sarah coughs loudly, prompting her to approach in concern and briefly tap Sarah's back, in confusion. It's a wonder you didn't drown! How did you so easily recover from the damage? You have a sturdy organism for sure but...

L-let's just keep that to ourselves, huh? Being carried around by the gal who beat you is embarrassing, and if she shares the story on top of that... Sarah grimace, blushing in embarrassment. Wow, I'm a jerk.

Well sometimes, our failures are what we need to face to overcome our previous self, all of that, yada yada. Eve says, seeing that Sarah wasn't that bothered. She eyes Laxin: how easy it would be to kill him, to rend him, to let his dying screams echo down the mountain like an avalanche. And to teach these people to fear her wrath, if they decided to turn evil one day. But yet, she also looks at Kirrey, whom she set out to save. With her attention on Laxin, he could escape or be intercepted by someone else, and her promise might fail.

What should she do? Show mercy? Or destroy Laxin, undoing a great evil?

...

Eve sighs and fly over to Kirrey, hand held out invitingly, as she casts a healing spell via Nidrugg on him. I haven't forgotten my premises, she smiles, sweetly. Let's sort things out for you. I'll help you.

Sarah goes to Oca in the meanwhile, keeping the flower. Erm, "goes to Ocas" more like. Wanna chat?

...

Sarah glances at the leaping Flandre and is a bit put-off by her jumping, considering it bold. However, she has good reflexes! Deciding not to show her asset too quickly, she jumps after Flandre with a backflip to bring her all the way back to the battleground, followed by a jump-uppercut meant to smash Flandre to the sky, until she arcs back to her fort!

I've got the vampire! And Thor's gonna be out of the action for a little while still! Do what you wanna do!

...

Adam smiles and set his foot down upon the soldier's head, crushing it, but a bit slower than he could do. As brain matter, blood and bones splash all over his foot, he smiles in eager joy. But then he focus back on time to look at Claus and nods, a calmer grin on his face.

I sense a kindred spirit! Come then! Let us set off to our journey! Until we reach an horizon of bloody slaughter!

.

You're fine if we ask for directions at a point right?

...

The Werewolf does throw an attack of his own: deciding that cutting wouldn't do, he adds more mass to his crystal claw until it become a crystal fist, and swing it upwards at the claw, meaning to match the creature, overcome it even! Hahaha! A clash of strength it is!

He figures, at worst, he can distract it for the other members of their little "pack"!

Cirno glances at Luna. "I mean, personally, I've got nothing better to do right now. How about you?"

"Well you're literally the only person I know here besides that crazy person we tried to prank so..." Luna says, shrugging. "I don't have anything better to do either."

The Void of Space

Kroq-Gar paused and looked to her, and though he knew she was capable, he didnt exactly want her to be... Caught in it either. But they were equals, and so if she insisted she wished to join the fray, he wouldn't stop her. Halcon spoke up as well, adding in his own two cents on the encounter.

"Surprisingly... Despite being well equipped... There was so many that just didn't have... The proper training. It's a lot like the Grineer under the Kuva Queen. All numbers and guns, no training. But eventually the wave subsides."

Kroq-Gar shook his head in disagreement, snapping his jaws as he explained the accursed race to both of them, readying his spear as he waited for them to reach their destination.

"The Xa'kota as a whole are a cruel, treacherous, and highly numerous species that have since spread their loathsome corruption to the farthest corners of the Known World. From deep below the earth, the scavengers a vast empire, whose military power and incomprehensible numbers smothered my home and all of creation in a ride of violence and anarchy.

To the Rat-Spawn, there is no such thing as pity, remorse, compassion, or cooperation. There is simply survival, survival in a turbulent society that only spares those that possess the brute strength, extreme cunning, and the vicious instinct to outmaneuver and kill the opposition, no matter the cost or the body count of either friend or foe. They believe in a single cause, and that cause is to conquer the rest of reality and bring about the "Great Ascendancy," and I take it devouring Malleus wasn't enough. If they're where our destination lies... We have much to be concerned."

Werewolves

The White Werewolf just growls, but one good side effect of him being exhausted and hurt is that he's not in a position to go on a feral attack right away. Which means he actually stays in place long enough to actually listen to what Alexa says.

He makes an angered huff. He clearly doesn't enjoy the notion of having to rely on a plan. But at this point even this stubborn mutt can tell it's probably necessary.

The White Werewolf turns to look at Alexa with his cold, piercing eyes, seemingly waiting for her to think up said plan. With Bigby and the other werewolf attacking, he expects Alexa to have enough time to do so.


"I'd say you dropped in at the perfect time.", Iris says to Loki as she takes back her jacket. "Thanks."

"Huh?", Hive Knight asks, a little skeptical. He gets back on his feet, then gets a good look at Issun and is briefly (and comically) speechless. Iris lets Issun stand on her shoulder, or lets him sit in the pocket in her shirt if he doesn't want to stand on crystal.

"I know it sounds somewhat weird.", Spore Knight says to her friend. "But remember what happened last time. What if it happens again?"

"How big are the chances we'd find another cursed treasure?"

"How big are the chances that these people would warn us of repeating a past they couldn't have known about?"

Hive Knight looks uncertain. Fleck now awakens and buzzes back up to his shoulder.

"Bzzz Bz Bzzzz."

"Well, I guess that's fair. We'll do that if it turns out they're lying."

... wait, did Loki, Issun and Iris just get threatened by a freaking insect?

Hive Knight turns back to the others and nods.

"Alright, we'll go warn Drill Knight. Let's go."

Spore Knight and Hive Knight jump down into the hole.

"Erm, wait, I can't-", Iris starts, though stops and sighs.

"... well, if they can jump it... let's go, Loki."

She jumps into the hole.

-

The group will arrive at both the now empty Scrap Knight floor and the floor where Thor found Mole Knight and Tinker Knight. They'll be able to hear the sounds of battle down below.

Drill Knight immediately burrows underground when Mjolnir heads his way. He re-emerges above the group, but Mole Knight also emerges now, the two clashing in an after-burrow strike that sends them both back a bit.

"You dare go against me, Mole Knight?"

"I dare beat some sense into you, Drill Knight."

Mole Knight ends up closest to Amaterasu and attempts to ram into her drill-first. This ends up triggering Amaterasu's trap and gets piledrived (piledriven?) into the ground. This leaves him stunned for a moment, allowing for everyone to move in for an attack.

Tinker Knight now lets go of Thor. He appears apologetic, so it's clear he did that out of panic without really thinking.

Scrap Knight and the Deliderp drop out of the hole. Tinker Knight turns to them.

"Scrap Knight! That hexed piece Drill Knight wears has turned his mind dim!"

"Drill Knight has been corrupted? So you were right.", she says while looking at the Deliderp. She then looks back at the others.

"Fine then. I was the one who got us that map, so I'll try to help. Buff stranger, would this situation be solved if we can steal the treasure from him?"

Today's had its ups and downs. Thanks though. smile
