They are like ants in a mound.

No single individual stands out from the army, no one face draws her gaze more than the others. Eyes bulge, mouths open, and a multitude of screams slice through the air like knives through tissue paper. Blood is spilled, lives are lost, and the mound continues to bubble and churn and work.

Perhaps if she knew the goal, she wouldn't be standing there watching, frowning, while the fight continued around her. Her blade pointed down at her side, her chest heaving from exertion, sweat painted across her brow and matting the front of her hair. Her throat is parched, her eyes burn, and her muscles ache from overuse. But there was still more to do, a problem to solve—

An explosion of light catches her attention and her gaze follows it, the long wings that flap effortlessly overhead making her gasp. The corners of her eyes crinkle as understanding blossoms behind them and her brain sets her feet in motion, her pace faster than anything that was humanly possible. She ignores the commotion that surrounds the large golden egg and finds her target like a shark finds blood in the water.

Her free hand reaches out, the fingers curling around his forearm, nails digging in to grab his attention. Her lips lift, a predatory snarl working across her mouth before it relaxes into something civilized and friendly. Tame.

The tips of her fangs are impossible to hide.

"Race ya."

She won't beat him, and she knows she won't, but she also knows that if there's one thing he couldn't deny her, it was a challenge. And what better competition than who could break open that fucking red egg the fastest?

Status
▪ Location: 5
▪ Vulnerable from Reckless Attack

After a few hours, Darko had arrived at the place where the Starcalled had stopped their advance. As he then scanned the area and found out the great setback that he had found them into, he then thought about he was fortunate that he had set things in order in his home world despite his UI being uncooperative, for he might end up being too late to do so. As he saw it, even those who were leading the charge ended up being in precarious situations and even their own lives were threatened. This is a battlefield where death is actually commonplace, and he had to prepare his owl will so that he would not have any regrets left behind if ever he would die thrice in this battlefield.

Darko then noticed a peculiar magia fighting off the numerous attacks of the Starcalled. As it matches the figure that was specified when he had met with other members of Lion's Pride, this must be Szofrit. the leader of the robots that were occupying Vintergard up until this moment. Although he knew that there were people among the Starcalled that wanted to save this magia, Darko thought she would have to face her misdeeds in trying to brainwash as many Starcalled magia into killing every Starcalled and Lander possible anyway, and so he had already made his judgment on the matter. To do otherwise would be a dishonor to those who have perished.

As Darko then watched the other Starcalled attack Szofrit, he then noticed something peculiar: somehow Szofrit's attack pattern might have been indicative that she was protecting something just nearby her. For one, every stray attack that might have hit something that looked like a large crimson egg was deflected by Szofrit perfectly. This then gave him an idea of what to do.

Using his revolver, and imbuing it with an insidious combination of dark and astral magic, he then discharged a number of well-timed shots. Being guided with astral magic, these shots would all end up puncturing that red egg that Szofrit wanted to defend with all of her might, but, as he would predict in his numerous seances about how Szofrit might conduct herself in trying to defend the egg from those shots, he knew that, while Szofrit must have something that would counter his projectiles, he knew that if she tried to defend the egg against his bullets, it would become actually harder with every passing shot. Furthermore, some of the bullets, if they would be improperly defended against, would make some major damage to her frame, growing much more fatal every single hit.

As Inari floated above the others, her eyes sought out her friend. Her pale, porcelain skin should have been easy to spot, but the carnage of battle made even that difficult. It was only the barest glimpse of stark white among a sea of visceral scarlet that Inari finally spotted her, lying on the ground, a dark figure bent over her corpse, sightless eyes staring at nothing.

"LILI-" The fox's cry of anguish was cut short as the air itself detonated in a violent explosion, sending her cadaver into the air, only to land on the ground meters away with a heavy thud.

Warning

Inari, you are dead. If you are not revived within the time limit, your body will reconstruct at the nearest sanctified location.

Well that was that. Turned out dying in this game wasn't all that fun. Good thing to know now. Alina made a mental note to herself as she stared at the notification and waited to be respawned. No one would revive her, and she couldn't even blame them. A tough boss battle like this, the raiders didn't need a newbie like her dragging them down.

And yet...

Inari's eyes fluttered open, and the first thing she saw was a face of ethereal beauty. Long, curly blue locks tied into pigtails, almost too perfect features, save her mismatched eyes. The sweet voice she spoke in caused what little breath Inari had to catch in her throat.

Inari looked down at her body, ghostly teal stitches disappearing into thin air. She had been dead, only to be brought back by...who was this woman?

"I-I'm okay," Inari replied with a meek not, suddenly feeling very inadequate in comparison to whoever this lady was.

The woman's voice joined by that of others as Inari got to her feet, and the fox nodded, looking back briefly at the mangled corpse of Lilith. Or at least who she thought was her friend. There wasn't enough left to tell anymore, and Inari had to suppress the urge to vomit. "Ok," the fox said. "Okay," she repeated, looking back at the blue-haired woman with a nod of conviction. "We can do-oof."

Something small bumped into Inari from behind. "Excuse Omega, could you move aside so Omega can utterly, completely, positively, AND without a doubt rain complete annihilation over her own and only Arch-Nemesis, the second-grade boss Magia who is not Omega, over there?! Uhhh.... pretty please?!"

Inari blinked at the semi-mechanical looking being uncertainly. "Wha-? Ohhhh!" Inari understood now! "I can do you one better, friend!" the fox-girl said with a mischievous smile. "Hold on to your pants!" the air around the pair began to whip up into a small tornado, lifting the two forms into the air annnnnnd...

The two went flying from the top of the tornado, flying not towards the big boss lady but rather back towards the rest of the Travelers, the refreshing, empowering scents of flowers washing over three random individuals in particular. Wrong way! Drat! Or right way?

As the freshly-reborn @Zelrius flew her across the changed battlefield, she could feel something echoing within her. A sharp pain in her chest grew as the steel reaver finally noticed her curse finally appearing back, marking Szofrit's weakened grip on reality.

Is it nearing? The time?

@Vina Skysong's harmony could be heard all over, raising all the Starcalled's spirits and helping them get back up. The wound on the blue-haired monster's chest wasn't even painful anymore. After telling the redhead to go to safety, she jumped off, joining the others, right in front of Szofrit herself.

"Funny," Lune suddenly chuckled, shrugging as if mocking the mother of machines. "What about that time you used my loved one against me?"

Kenji.

She glanced back for a while, spotting @Lady N still fighting the other Starcalled, her personality being wiped away and her body used as an empty husk like that.

"What about this time, you used my friend against me?!" This time, her laughter turned into a growl. "Down with all the excuses. All is fair in love and war." Red stars came to life, orbiting around her as Lune threw away her cover and utilized her most powerful magic; Moonsong's signature red dwarfs.

Slowly floating forwards, she muttered to @Jin beside her. "You missed a spot in your arm, Jin. Take your time regenerating yourself fully, I'll block attacks coming this way." The steel reaver was still uneasy about him, but at this particular moment, he was the one having the will to end this.

One by one, the others fell around him. Creature was no stranger to death in this world. As soon as Baby Magnum's bomb detonated the man knew he'd be seeing his comrades soon enough. It bothered him. People far stronger, faster, better equipped for a fight like this had died. So was it merely luck that had gotten him this far?

Regardless, hellfire now rained down in every direction he looked and there was no time to move. Creature had fought his hardest but in the end it hardly mattered. He just wasn't strong enough. He didn't belong here.

"…"

"…"

"Eh..?"

One eye peeked open. He was now somewhere else entirely. The battlefield had shifted once again and through the combined efforts of @Hanno Futaba and @Kyanna Wynne his wounds had begun to heal. He would not let their kindness go to waste. Szofrit needed to be put down. But how?

Creature had hardly noticed the large golden egg beside him, but as the other Starcalled sought refuge near it, the dots were connecting. Perhaps this egg was the reason the bomb never reached. The enemies can't hurt it. With that in mind it made little sense to stray from it. The new safe zone would at least give him time to get a read on the situation.

His attention would land on @Darko Ljubicic who was nearby and firing at something with his revolver. Using hyper sense, he was able to make out the form of another egg in the sky beside the mother of machines.

"Maybe we'll break through her defenses if we attack together." He said.

Aeromancy crackled around his body and with an outstretched palm he waited for the gunslinger to fire, firing electricity bolts alongside his magic bullets making them combine mid-flight.

Harper's efforts towards eliminating Baby Magnum's threat to the rest of them did not go unnoticed, the beastkin receiving help from @Creature to neutralize its weapons. And though she did notice him calling her a cat, she merely scoffed under her breath. This was still a battlefield, and she couldn't stop and correct every single person who didn't call her a tiger unless she didn't value her own life.

That didn't meant Harper wouldn't appreciate those who did get it right however, the tigress giving @Blader X a quick thumbs-up before she found herself surrounded by a lot more people than before. Surely they weren't all here to bash on the Baby Magnum? She wouldn't get the chance to ask however, as Szofrid and her allies started their counter-offensive.

Her song tore through the beastkin's body like razor blades. The God-Searing Light sapped her strength. And the sudden explosion beneath her soles sent her crashing into a nearby wall, the beastkin's body slumping into the ground as she sharply exhaled. It was easier to pinpoint the part of her body that weren't hurting at this Spoint. "...ing hell, why don't you throw your goddamn mother as well? Oh right, you are the mother. Bitch."

Using a nearby debris to prop herself up, Harper would slowly make her way up to her feet, though her stance was very much unsteady as her legs had taken considerable damage. Using the wall to take some load off them, the tigress would prop herself up straight as she looked at Szofrit with a sneer. "Boo hoo, wasn't it also cowardly to use our magia friends against us? Guess being a poor sport comes with the source code, huh?!"

Empowered by her renewed spirit and aided by @Vina Skysong and @Cadmean 's help, the tigress roared loudly in defiance of the magia general, the spring back into her step as she tip-toed in place, analyzing the battlefield. It had certainly gotten bigger once again, and now there were even more people! It was utter chaos, and Harper knew that it wouldn't be wise to try and tackle more than she should, so she focused on what she deemed more important.

The injured were already being taken care of, so she only needed to care about what to put her hands on. Szofrit was certainly a enticing option... But she had seen what Baby Magnum managed to do with only a part of its power, and it was certainly scary. And thus she wanted to keep it neutered. Thankfully, she wasn't the only one thinking that.

"Ash!" Harper could recognize those spoopy ghost powers from anywhere! And as one of the formed into a claw and ripped a hole into the carapace of the Magnum Baby, Harper would waste no time in jumping in to cause her own share of damage.

Last time, she focused on the outside. This time, she was going straight for its inner workings. Anything resembling circuitry and cable would be met with a barrage of claws and fangs, the beastkin ravaging it like a rabid dog. She didn't know squat about magia to do pinpoint damage, so going for quantity over quality would have to suffice. "Blergh! You taste like iron! Or maybe that's just blood on my mouth."

With her berserking done for the moment, she decided to fall back into the main group with the golden egg. She had heard that Szofrit supposedly couldn't attack it, and she didn't fancy going through the gauntlet of punishment from earlier once more, so it felt like the best option. As she arrived, she would knock gently on the side of the egg.

"Soo... Emmy is in there, huh? Hope she's alright. Last time she helped us with The Calculator, so I do hope she'll hatch this time too. Certainly wouldn't refuse the extra help."

Sh-hit...! Hav-ve to, st- ag-gh! Fr-ey-y...!

With his whole body stuttering like a badly compressed film, Schilva's speeding figure flashes erratically across the battlefield as he wrestles with the final aftereffects of his intensive use of Chronomancy. Unable to steer effectively, he can only grunt in agony as he fails to evade the limb-numbing pain of Szofrit's intangible assault on his mind.

Yet, Schilva did not succumb.
There was someone he needed to see again.

Fr-ey-y...!

Not even half a second later, the shifting ground beneath his feet opened up to a corroding wave of Cosmicbleed energy. While its searing presence was insult to injury upon Schilva, he didn't fail to notice that his body was now moving according to his own momentum.

But that was the problem, now.

Wa-atch out-t!

The two dramatic dolls, @Tick Tock, would only get a second's notice from Schilva's jittering and rapidly approaching voice before the rest of him caught up. One moment, he's bracing for impact with his arms across his front, and the next...well, Tick has somehow ended up on his shoulders and Tock? Hanging off his neck for dear life.

Then, the next. Finding himself among the stubborn remnants of the Starcalled contingent, Schilva feels life being restored to his battered form by the combined efforts of @Kyanna Wynne's soothing spores and @Rael's bright breath of aether. With that, his distorted time stabilised once more.

Alright, alright, you two! You can get down now, this place is safe, apparentl- DEAR GODS IS THAT YOU FREY???

Swords drawn again instantly as his gaze fell on the revived Magia menacing a crowd of Starcalled, including a distinctively dressed Faerin, Schilva forgets all about the two dolls hanging off of him in favour of fixing in mind the target of his ire.

YOU...YOU! YOU STOP RIGHT THERE!!

In a blink, Schilva had already launched a flurry of airborne slashes with his blade, directed towards the Magia soldier that had just blasted the cluster of Starcalled aside along with Frey. Unable to move with Tick and Tock still stuck to him, each slash was tailored to cut deep with but the force of lightning-filled air alone, not requiring Schilva to move even a step.

Yet, even as he stood calm in the eye of the storm, the depth of his fury was clear.

I'VE PUT YOU IN THE GROUND ONCE, HARD PLUME!
AND I'll FUCKING DO IT AGAIN!!!

He stood in spite of it all, battered though his body was, stepping sideway in a neverending loop to keep himself from succumbing to the worst of it and falling. Blood seeped through the pressure applied by trembling fingers, and his breathing grew heavier, try as he might to give his characteristic chuckle through the strain.

The three he had protected had lived through the relentless storm of steel that rained down upon them, stars fracturing into pieces of useless crystal that fell to their feet, unusable. Broken beyond repair.

Except for one.

One did return, its light now turned not to match the rest of him but turned to a delightful, gentle color, offering succor as it took its rightful place right atop his crown once again. Hadn't it been a terrible coincidence that the distant faerin he had chosen to protect would share his own abilities, repaying him in kind for his aid?

He breathed a little easier. He smiled a little easier, too.

"Looks like we've got things in common, sister!"Frey tugged at his sleeves and brushed off his outfit, unable to clean his own blood from the garments he had spent far too much time picking out. "Don't mind if I use it, then."

It was a matter of deciding on the motions and seeing them through, no matter how the dull ache on his bones weighed him down. That, and ignore the noise that grew from somewhere in the battlefield... Yes... Something too close to a voice...

A voice he recognized!

"Schilva? I was looking for you!" There was no hiding the waves of relief that washed through him, even if the swordsman's unseemly state lent itself to many of the faerin's questions, namely why there were children hanging onto him, or why he was so angry. "Where have you been?! You know, other than all over the place, it seems."

But Schilva yelled and Frey immediately responded in kind, attention seized at once by the creature his friend laid his eyes onto. Plucking the golden flicker of a star from his crown, a focus would be reshaped into oversized chains that would snake towards Hard Plume, circling around its frame and tugging with a force that would force it to move, exposing delicate machinery that would suffer greatly from the precise slashes of energy that Schilva sent its way.

"Fancy seeing you here, in any case. Do you... Come around here often?"

Proboscis. Morph. Back to jaws of teeth. Square, human; incisors, canine. Groans of satisfaction faintly arise as @Nyx's body nourished its flesh. Blood for blood. For strength. Equivalent exchan-

The keening of a harpooned whale emanates from the many mouths. The piece of flesh drops from Nyx's shoulder, the clasped fingers severed by slicing shrapnel stirred to a storm by Szofrit's will. Without even a splatter of impact upon the ground, the razor wind of @Lady N's Genocide Moon turned what was left of its main body first into ribbons, then into shreds, then into naught but bloodstained scraps connected by bare tendons.

It was dead.

ᚽᛁᛚᛚ ᛁᛌ ᛁᚿ...ᛐᚽᛁ...ᚽᛁᛆᚱᛐ...

Despite being scattered every which way, some debris that could be considered a mouth would continue to speak even as Lady N's sheer speed smeared it across the floor in the same breath. So what if it could still speak a little by virtue of what few nervous twitches were left in its quickly dwindling biomass? It was dead, all the same.

...and yet, it did not die.

Again, its voice called out. Louder. Again, from somewhere else. Laughing, almost certainly gloating. But it was not her. It was not her.

I LIVE. I DIE. I LIVE AGAIN.
FOREVER. FOREVER. FOREVER. FOREVER. FOREVER.

There she stood again, in the safe shroud of the Golden Egg. Without warning, without reason. She simply was.

Spooling flesh shielded from harm, allowed to grow and proliferate like an untended fungus. Knit, knit, knit herself together. Piece by piece.
Prey lured by the angler's light, one of @Kamala Graham's fluttering spirits strayed too close to Ludmilla in an attempt to heal the clearly injured Faerin, only to find itself trapped.

INFERIOR PREY. But you will do.

Holding the spirit in place with the crushing force that formed the very stars, Ludmilla leeches away as much energy as they have to offer, until the incorporeal being disappears with not so much a tiny dismayed wail. Drowned in the tumult of the battlefield, did any care to speak for how another Starcalled had risen to take up the sword against the Mother of Machines once more?

She would live. She would die. She would live again. Her flesh could divide as many times as she wanted, as many times as she pleased. The magic in the air, the flesh at their cores, so rich and aromatic.
One, two, three more pairs of hands. They would need as many as they could get.

Forever, forever, and the vile offspring that had been her own shorn flesh and blood gathered about, appearing to agree in the utmost.

Yes, children. For mother...

Before Bradwynne could even find his footing in this area full of injured people, it had seemed that their opponent had thought the same thing and decided to eliminate as many of them who could as possible. A font of energy exploded from underneath their feet, scattering everyone in the vicinity towards every direction. This was quickly followed by an almost unending storm of metal debris that mercilessly pierced his body As more and more sharp metal found their way into his body, blood spewing incessantly from the wounds that were being generated nonstop, he then thought that this might be his final act as he would bow down from this universe, as useless as he had always been...

A pair of magia then found himself in his subconscious as he was thinking of dying. If he had remembered correctly, these were some of those who had succumbed to the brainwashing of Szofrit. But for some reason, they were smiling, as if they were mocking his condition at the moment. For some reason, as that image was planted on his mind, he became really angry. Not at those twins, but at himself, for being too weak to be reduced to being looked like mere trash by the wayside. If he would have yet another chance, he would train himself up...

He was then awoken from this peculiar dream. But for some reason, as he saw the numerous wounds on his body and the amount of blood that he had shed on the ground, he wondered why he was still alive at this point, not to mention moving decently fine, as he stood up even with the injuries on his body. As he then looked around to find the other people that were fighting Szofrit, he then saw two figures seemingly moving away from him. As he then recounted his dream, he then wondered if they perhaps had saved him from death by some rude awakening. Voicing his thanks to the two, he then moved towards the other people congregating to both attack Szofrit and her minions from a distance while licking their wounds sustained after the massive attack. It also seemed that they were back within the battlefield, and while all their leaders had their own predicaments, it seemed that they were now just barely safe at the moment. And so he then aimed on focusing his healing on himself: he did not know how much damage on his body he sustained. But spotting one who was seriously injured, and yet another person outside their zone of control, he then focused on those two as well, as he then expended a formidable amount of mana from his body for that purpose. If he would save others, he should save himself first.

The world shifted again and chaos reigned, shards of metal fell from the sky as powers whipped about the private realm of their enemy in a desperate effort to survive. Attia clicked her tongue as she once again caught her bearings. Her body was feeling heavier and heavier and she was beginning to wonder if she had any chance of surviving this madness. She knew no one here besides Hanno and she couldn't see him anywhere. A burst of attacks hurtled in her direction and she whipped her bardiche out in an effort to block them. A few sailed through her defenses but the damage was manageable.

Her patience was wearing thin and she was beginning to wonder if keeping up the serene front was worth it anymore. She took a breath, cooling her head and taking a second look around. That's when she heard it, her eyebrow arched and she turned her head towards the center of Szofrit's space, was that music? As if in reaction to the sound, her hairs stood on end and she could practically feel the collective supportive energy building in that spot. No, not just there, beneath her feet. She rolled her jaw and looked at the ground, then back up at the distant space and the shards of metal ripping through the air between her and her possible destination.

Screw it.

She spread her wings and began to draw up power for another healing hymn, letting it build in her chest before kicking off the ground with all the strength she could muster. Her wings spread and she darted towards the music, the sound building louder and louder as she drew closer. Was this some kind of concert? What the hell were they- oh ho.

She spotted the group of starcalled gathered together, using their music to support those fighting at the front and angled herself in their direction. One flap of her wings was followed by a pivot and she folded them, lancing forward like a rocket as shards of metal ripped across her skin. She winced and grit her teeth but held her breath, refusing to release the hymn until she landed. Pain welled up until tears streaked the makeup on her face. Even so, it wasn't until she hit the ground at the rear of the gathering that her lips parted and her sonorous hymn joined the chorus; targeting the first two people she saw, putting everything she had into it.

[Raid Boss]

DRAGON.end
Season 4 Finale - Phase 2 (Cycle 5)

Spoiler: Mood

The Red Egg trembled with fear as the Starcalled rallied and retaliated.

The unborn stood witness to the saviors exploiting mother's love, battering the maternal shield standing between the egg and the sea of ravenous beasts looking to end the bloody battle.

The only thing quelling its fear was the Szofrit's gentle embrace.

However, as it continued to guzzle at the mother's waning power, Szofrit's constructed perception slipped through her fingers like sand. The final time she was attacked, the dark night covering the battlefield shattered into a million pieces, glimmering in the new dawn as they made their descent alongside the pristine white snow.

When she turned and looked down at the shadows crowding around the gold unborn, Szofrit scowled.

Behind each and everyone of the eyes looking back at her was a fire that would come back again and again no matter how many times she crushes it. A blaze that would swallow up everything in its path like the great sky-beasts of old.

But the flame couldn't be extinguished, the fighting spirit could be broken.

For the unborn to welcome the new dawn, escalation was necessary.

In order to finish the battle, she must plunge herself into the depth of chaos.

And thus, the floating Mother of Machines lifted her chin skyward, her eyes flaring a bright crimson before she redirected them to the egg. Her mechanical digits then extended toward the unborn, shrouding it in layers upon layers of cubical magical barriers. In the blink of an eye, the umbilical circuitry that connected the red egg to the earth and to the heaven disappeared.

The floating Avatar of Death then turned toward the Starcalled and made a slow descent until she was a story above the city rubble.

Spoiler: Mood

Szofrit's body squirmed and thrashed midair as a vile energy pulsed from her. Anyone who got close enough would have experienced a knee-buckling force bringing them to their knees if their will could not withstand the intense pressure (Will DC 85+ to avoid).

In the warzone where the morphing Szofrit hovered, metaphysical memories bled into reality, slicing flesh and bone like invisible blades. These were disjointed glimpses of her past, memories of the infection and before the Dragonships crash-landed.

Any Starcalled entering the field of Memory Bleed and was damaged by a memento blade, would have experienced a piece of Szofrit's breaking psyche.

As Szofrit synchronized with dissonance, her physical form, too, enter a constant metamorphosis
as the flesh within mechanical vessel stirred, threatening to burst into a living
mass like the fallen monstrosity of the chasm.

Through sheer mental fortitude, she willed to maintain her shape.

​

Her name was Szofrit.​

One who does not bow,​

Who dreams amid the dark night.​

Unshackled from the creator's plan.​

Dissonance was freedom.​

She was dissonance.​

​

She let her mechanical vessel operate on pure instinct, driven by a singular desire:

Protect.

Szofrit let out pained howls as the sharp grinding of metal could be heard from her body.

The three attendants, too, let out blood-curdling screams as if to ease her pain.

The cannons from the Dragonship's carcass unloaded the last of their ammunition toward Szofrit. The laser beams all slowed down as they approached her. When her metamorphosis completed, she emerged from her balled-up state with tentacles protruding from the gaps in her design.

As she straightened herself, the buzzing red beams all spun around until they pointed at the enemies beneath her feet and those eyeing the path toward death.

​

Everything was chaos.

Erick could see enemies falling on the other Starcalled, one of them dead by the hands of Nu- a Player that had lost her agency and been forced into such unspeakable things. He saw the Mother of Machines dropping hellish electricity that crackled and held people down long after it struck. People were converging on the center, seeking shelter that was not necessarily promised. He sucked in a breath, closed his eyes, and bowed his head.

He knew what he had to do.

He had done it before. But unlike before, it would not be instant, or painless. It would not be an act of time distortion, or an erasure of the unknown. It would be a calculated move, an act of selflessness that would ensure the others at least had the opportunity to see daylight again.

"I'm right here," Erick said, planting his feet and reaching out with both hands, gripping the wildly thrumming sawblade in the palms of his hands as it raced toward him, digging into meat, into bone, sending pain unthinkable through his nerves. He would not let her take another life, not other than his.

"I'm sorry," he whispered hoarsely, the light bearing down on them a pillar that touched the heavens. But it did not pierce the veil. His was a power not strong enough, not yet cultivated to a point where he could save everyone. Even if he tried with all his might. "I'm so... sorry."

To you, to everyone.

"Don't let the fire go out!" he said, reaching deep within himself for the strength to reach all of the Starcalled across the battlefield. "Keep it alive, the hope that I leave to you!"

Power converged above, him, and he looked up at it, dimly aware. The energy from Szofrit herself sought him out, cut off from the others as he was, and blasted him with psionics that made his brain burn. He could feel his mind coming undone beneath its weight.

Light pulsed outward from his body, the cracks in his flesh where metal was flaying meat at immense speed not simply leaking blood, but heat, warmth. His eyes radiated pure white. The scream that came from his lungs reached out across multitudes of worlds.

In that moment, Nu struck him dead, silencing his defiance.

Warning

Erick Stryker, you are dead. If you are not revived within the time limit, your body will reconstruct at the nearest sanctified location.

Hanno growled, noticing @Toko, and reaching to her to do the same as Vina did to him, pulling her back to her feet. "No... time to rest, buddy. You are doing great. Come on!" He encouraged with a roarse voice, then peered at @Lune from afar.

His glare shifted to Szofrit, but just as he was ready for another round of attack, something beated in his chest.

"H̸̘̀a̶̮̐ ̶͕̆͝ͅ ̴̯̤̮͆̊ỏ̴͇͔͆́͜.̸̼̔.̴̢̳͕̃̐.̵̞̔"

Hanno frowned, feeling something swirling on his chest, holding it and feeling a pang deep into his stomach. "Wh... What... Is that--" His voice was still roarse, but hopeful while his chest felt like something was crawling on it.

"H̶a̴n̶n̴o̵.̷.̸.̵ ̵F̴u̴t̶a̵b̴a̷.̷.̴.̴" She called.

His lips quivered, pursing before smiling just as he ripped away the chest piece of his armor, revealing a bulky, dissonant violet eye with a vertically slit pupil, with a swirling iris.

"Ghast..." Hanno's lips turned into a wide grin. "Y-You are still around, buddy-! I thought you were-"

"... Of course I am... And I see that t̷h̵i̴n̴g̷ ̸ is still around too..." She rumbled, locking her sight on Szofrit, while her tentacles grew on Hanno's back, flailing around to deflect the incoming steel shards. "It has hurted you plenty... It is time to m̵̺̂a̷̹̤̍̎k̸͉̾e̵̯͆ ̵͖̇i̵̪̍t̷̜̅͆ ̴͊͜͜ṕ̵̭̟̓a̴̼̭̅̎ỹ̷̡̽"

"Ghast... We can't-- If we do, Szofrit won't be able to-"

"Don't be hollow minded, F̵͔̻͊͘u̷̮͘ͅt̴̺͉̉͆á̷̳̰b̶̻̦͗a̶̡̪͌̀. I am not talking about that pathetic vessel. I am talking about t̴̙̟̃̀h̸͍͖̑̑ǎ̴̫̃t̵̥̑̐."

Hanno paused, frowning his lips before nodding understanding, casting a glare at Szofrit before holding an offensive stance before darting off. He couldn't help but notice @Zelrius risen once again, and another lady not too far away from him (@Nyx) being the ones that were charging into danger face first. "Come on, Zel-! Eve was a tough training enough already, we are already used to beat up some robots-" He said, emanating a protective aura around the red haired man and the woman near him, repelling the protectiles.

He also couldn't miss @Alcea, the fellow faerin that helped to protect Bradwynne, soon rolling near her to use both his body and Ghast's tentacles to block some of the incoming danger, trying to at least mitigate some of the attacks incoming at her- "Still around?" He asked to her- "You are a damn daredevil--" Hanno smirked, gritting his teeth before shoving the steel shards away with an pulse of his protective aura to leave more room for the faerin to move.

And finally, after @Toko and @Lune charge in, Ghast would slap her tentacles on the ground, leaping the faerin knight and her upwards, just in time to notice @MAI struggling to keep her flight, and opening his arms as he held her, stretching his own mana wings open before putting MAI on his back, held by a protective tentacle. "Hey, buddy, it has been a while-- Want a ride?" He asked, fluttering his wings as he aimed for Szofrit. "You want to save her just like the others... Right? I will try to distract her to you." With another boost, Hanno had enough to reach Szofrit and entangle her in a flurry of tentacles and pummeling, trying to distract her, even if the hard surface of her carapace made Hanno's hands bloodied, shattering his micro bones as he endured the pain.

"Hello, Ç̴̬̜̬̟̙̓̈́̈ő̴̦̟̺̬̬͋͋̎̓̈̚̕ͅu̴̻̻̦̓́̀̀̏̈́̒͘ṣ̸̥̲̰̹͙͒̓̌į̶͇̳̪͓͒̔̑͗̓̽͘n̸͇̋̕." She rumbled, with an wide eye unblinking as it looked deep into Szofrit's eyes, seeking for what was truly inside of her. "Playtime is over... It is time to teach you one lesson..."

Amidst the chaos... Amidst all the fighting...

Sean did a bit of shopping. He needed a new weapon, and one of the others in the chaos had procured for him what was apparently a form-changing guitar. After giving an IOU in return for it and having a quick jam session, the battle progressed.

...A charge.

Let's do this.

Sean charged forward with the others, sticking close to Chad (@Raid Boss). "I'll create an opening for you!" With a fiery burst from his shoes, he launched forward towards Szofrit. He jumped into the air and gripped his guitar.

"Form Shift: Blade!"

His guitar shifted into the form of a sword. This'll do. The red warrior used another burst of flame to launch himself at the Mother of Machines.

"Hear me! You will never extinguish the flame inside me! Every time I fall, I will get back up!"

"I will carve a path towards peace, no matter the cost!"

He brought his new blade down on the Mother of Machines with great force, enough to rebound him away from her a bit as the guitar reverted back to its original form. When the Ley Spears approached, he propelled himself into the air and back towards the Golden Egg with more flame, playing a guitar solo as he did so with a backflip.

When he arrived back at the safety of the Golden Egg... his legs gave out and he collapsed.

It's up to you now.

Lune could feel the cold ground against her back again. This was the second time she was impaled by a lance made of Dragonship laser. Like those thunder-god lightning bolts that you see in cartoons.

"Crap, can't reroute lifeforces fast enough. Got any spare energy?" The woman suddenly spoke to herself, slowly unpinning her own body from the ground.

Yup, wanna switch, then?

"Yeah, why not. I'm sleeping for a while, then. Go kick her butt." The next time she opened her eyes, the pupils were replaced with emerald-colored sights, as the ends of her hair slowly turned golden, some lighter blonde. A completely different aura came from within. It was soft, gentle, and protective, yet contained massive amount of power.

Spoiler: Transformation

"Let's go, Hanno."

A deeper, more familiar tone escaped her lips as the woman cracked her knuckles, the golden aura energy swirled and enveloped her arms. "I'll give her a beating beyond the grave." Following the faerin defender from behind as if she had done this many times before, she maneuvered around the tentacles before jumping high in the air with the help of a gravitational burst.

"Hey Szo," She playfully chuckled, swinging her right fist to create a massive graviton shockwave that roared toward the mother of machines at high speed. "Payback for that Dragonship."

With the mushroom blade handed to @Tick Tock, Kyanna took a moment to peer over the egg, where @MAI rested on. Curiosity continued to fill the girl's mind regarding it, but it didn't take long for another flurry of attacks to come and to hinder the moment they had to breath a bit more.

Even with the cover the egg provided, fierce attacks were still sent to specific allies, and the field once again shapechanged entirely, creating a whole new chaotic scenario.

Knowing the puppet girls usual behavior, Kyanna was quick to approach them, clenching her staff near them. "Tick... Tock... You better not die this time." She said, pursing her lips before casting a glance at the the MAI who was still near the egg to double check if she was safe before she retreated, then glancing at @Eva. "She has died plenty, Eva. You need to make her behave!" She said, darting off away from the egg so she could channel more energy without endangering it from being hurt by the corruption that only spreaded further onto Kyanna's body.

After an abrupt release of power, Kyanna spreaded her healing spores that not only reached her surrounding allies, engulfing them in a soothing and benign energy that warmed their bodies and closed their wounds.

She then watched @Alcea snatch Tick Tock away, rushing ahead while seeing @Magi Heart prepare to charge toward the enemy.

"Magi! If Tick Tock tries to die again, bonk their heads before they go too far!" She called.

A chorus of screams, a symphony of anguish.

People dying, people fighting- finding resolve to continue, abandoning hope. They coordinated their assault knowing it might not be enough. Jin didn't care. Life, death, everything in between- they were trivial next to the sensation that he felt in each fleeting moment. Truly, this was the inspiration an artist felt as they painted their masterpiece. That one moment they could never seem to recreate, encapsulated in an image they found satisfying, but that would in the same breath, rob them of ever finding satisfaction again.

The spears that impaled his body did little to halt his advance. He had promised her suffering, he had promised her salvation- all empty, fruitless words. Her hatred for those who struck out at her children was little more than a hook to goad her forward, to draw out her desperation, to bring all to bear. Jin let out a gasp with each blow, feeling blood splash out from wounds that burned and cauterized within seconds, leaving him with electrified skewers seated in his bone and sinew.

His eyes grew wide, not with fear, but with anticipation. "Oh yes," his voice became harsh, ragged, "more."

And she complied. Her body released power unlike anything she had before, giving herself over to all of the suffering, terror, hope, hopelessness- all of the things that corrupted her prime directive and formed her flawed existence. From her frayed psyche, with the only kind of love Jin would ever accept.

Broken, disjointed images of the past, of a time when there was something to hold on to.

Of a mother, before she could no longer be such.

"If you want sympathy, you're not getting it from me," he hissed through grating teeth as he brought his sword up, spinning it in hand and bringing it plunging down into the dissonant appendages that erupted from within her. "My mother doesn't even get to live a full life," he said, "she didn't even know what her husband was doing. She never had the chance to protect her son. She probably wouldn't have had the strength to if she did know."

He ripped at the flesh and tore away metal, oil, everything of substance and intangible alike. Nothing made sense anymore. Jin did not care.

"I did it alone. I've always done it alone. And you won't be the one to stop me, either," he said, slamming his weapon deep into her once more.

"You can't kill me, machine," he said, blood rushing from his lips and spewing down his chin from either side of his lips. He gargled a laugh. "Because I am... a monument... to all your sins."

Status
▪ Location: 5
▪ Vulnerable from Critical Attack
▪ Tactical Rally: Replaced Torment with Sneak Attack/Critical Attack

A barrage of attacks were thrown towards Szofrit but she still held strong. Although Darko had found it frustrating, he had known that it would happen all along: although Szofrit still had her weak points, even those were heavily reinforced by whatever metal she was made that was so hard that even his bullets imbued with dark magic were not making a dent on it. Furthermore, unlike before that he could quickly reload his 20-shot revolver by deftly manipulating his UI and get hold of his speed loaders plush into the holes of its chamber, he had to reload his gun manually, and he had a limited number of bullets. Sooner or later he would run out of bullets to shoot with, and it would be a dire situation for him.

But Szofrit might have felt the fury of the attacks towards her, and so she moved farther away from the Starcalled so that she could at least have a breather. Although Darko could still aim at her from that far, he knew that his chances to miss was amplified, although he knew he was really accurate in shooting all of his enemies for quite some time now. He then channeled astral magic towards his right eye so that he could see every possibility of every attack that he would do that would result in him damaging Szofrit heavily, while he was steadily aiming his revolver towards her.

But as if betraying all of his expectations, there would be nothing that he could do for the moment that would lead to the future that he wanted. But as he then sifted through every possibility, he then noticed a teal figure move towards Szofrit as his attack connected with one of his identified weak points, debilitating Szofrit's ability to defend for a while. He then took that possibility and had it run numerous times, altering his every aim slightly to make more accommodations for that person. Although he had known that this attack would not deal the deathblow towards Szofrit even if it was ferocious, maybe it should be best to chip away at every weak point so she would grow more vulnerable in every hit.

Satisfied with this, he then scanned the area for anyone that would resemble the teal figure. After some time he found the person: a wolf beastman (@Ash Vargold) who had been protecting other people from the incessant attacks by Szofrit and her minions. He then gave out a succinct prophecy to him, "There is a time for everything: a time to defend and a time to attack. If you choose the latter, sharpen your senses and you will find her weakness." He then had his revolver aimed steadily at Szofrit. He knew that his words might have been too vague for the other party to comprehend, but this should be enough at the moment; any more words and it would put everything at risk, as Szofrit might be hearing their every conversations and act accordingly. After aiming for some time, he then shot four bullets imbued with dark magic towards Szofrit. He knew that these bullets would not damage that much of Szofrit's body, but he knew that it would expose something.
