Reuning with @Kyanna Wynne for a while, they recovered and assembled some kind of strategy before spreading out once more, with the end of the battle coming really near.

"She has died plenty, Eva. You need to make her behave!" Kyanna said as she dashed off.

Eva walked near the twins (@Tick Tock), before patting Tock on the head. "I'm not going to tell you two what to do,"

She has no right to.

The woman then turned to Tick, slowly nodding while showing her usual cold smile. "But be home for dinner."

Her hand reached for the last he last item inside her combat pouch, a canister-looking container that has red text plastered all over it. From the tiny glass window, you could see a liquid, blob-y metal-colored substance inside. "Might as well try this prototype here..."

Looking for a test subject, she turned to @Ueno Mizuki who rallied the Starcalled. By her precise calculation, the raging wolf had the most destructive potential of all of the people here. "Hey," The woman approached the beastfolk, pointing at Szofrit, "You want to finish things up? I can help." Pressing a button on the canister, it suddenly released a chrome, sparkly mist on Mizuki.

It caused the ends of her fur to turn white metallic, while her claws were enveloped by a thin, yet durable shiny nano-coating. "That should be sufficient. Go run amok." She just nodded, before observing the effects. Or maybe, what the side effect would do to a powerful Starcalled.

Luthien · Mar 5, 2023

A headache had slowly begun to brew within her, and Lúthien wasn’t sure if it was because of the voices around her as the debate continued or the emotions brewing within those present as a result. One hand remained pressed against the golden eggshell, a way to both offer the being inside comfort and ground her own senses, even as the other rubbed her temple. It was then she felt an aura slowly envelop her form, her gaze quickly looking towards the field and spotting the familiar faerin to which it belonged, before a sharp pain in her temple caused the ranger to wince as GSL siphoned another small portion of her life essence towards Szofrit.

"I really hate that thing…"

It was over almost as quickly as it had started, the blonde clicking her tongue in distaste before her attention turned to the sword that was laid by @Yugam’s side. Quiet steps carried her over to him before her hands carefully picked up the jikdo from the ground. "Feeling better—?!" Her wellness check was interrupted when the weapon suddenly shifted into a familiar form, the ranger’s arms shifting to accommodate the difference in size and weight in them before Lúthien found herself princess carrying the spirit.

"Unmei?!"
”Luth.”
". . ."
”. . .”
". . ."
”You can put me down now.”

"Oh, r-right…!"The feet of the slightly smaller spirit felt the ground as Lúthien carefully set her down, and while the look of surprise was still present in her face the blonde couldn’t conceal the relieved smile that crossed her lips. "Welcome back~"

The return of the black-haired spirit had partially lifted a weight from the ranger’s shoulders, her worries lightened when crimson eyes fluttered back to the hunter’s face just as the look in those dark brown eyes returned to one she was actually familiar with. Logic and reasoning had seemingly returned, before a whispered sigh left her lips as Lúthien noticed the determined look that crossed them next.

"You’re going." The words were a statement rather than a question, it wasn’t hard for her to read the man’s intentions as he looked in the direction of @Szofrit. A faint smile pulled at the corners of her lips as she made peace with that fact, and instead of fighting his choice the blonde opted to focus on the things that were within her control. "Go on then, I’ll support you every step of the way."

A few steps took her back to the egg’s side before the ranger kneeled to pick up the once forgotten revolver from the ground, careful to dust some of the sand off it as she returned to their side, before the pistol was handed over to the man.

"You can thank me by coming back alive and in one piece," Her attention turned towards Unmei then. "Both of you."

With that she took a step back, hands reaching for her violin and bow again as magic flowed into the instrument—sparks crackling throughout its figure as it was powered back to life for another song.

[ Tales of Arise ] Flame of Hope
(Lindsey Stirling Cover)

It was a spirited tune, one that sought to ease the worries of those around them while also showcasing the confidence she held for the hunter and the spirit. An optimistic melody befitting its name, and one that Lúthien felt was apt for the moment at hand. "Give her a good thrashing… but don’t kill her, ‘kay?" Her gaze sought his own and held it, seeking a silent answer from the man as she hoped he would offer her this one concession even if it might go against his own feelings on the matter.

The wind accompanied her tune as it allowed the sound to carry far and wide into the field, the magic behind her song imparted into both figures through the soft caress of a verdant breeze. It would lighten their steps and invigorate their spirits as it swept forth, weaving through the land and people as it marked the path of least resistance that would lead them towards their target.

Her gaze would remain fixed on them even as her performance continued, her own body moving and swaying with the tempo of the song, before a soft zephyr would branch away from the pair and towards another figure not far from them—offering @Seigi the same boon as the melody whispered into her ears.

They had succeeded in rescuing the various NPCs that had come to their aid. Cleo's sharp eyes could see at least that much amongst the chaos, though now that she was in an area of relative safety she wasn't forced to keep her attention split and be on such a constant red alert.

Granted, she wasn't about to just relax now that she herself was safe. There were people who were in need of aid all over and she was fairly capable of lending that aid, even to the ones who were quite far away from her. Ranged combat, and now ranged support, were her specialty, after all.

First of all, a wave of time magic, Chronomancy, flowed from her body. It rewound the wounds of @Fina Drago who was nearby. It rewound the wounds of @Zelrius who she owed for healing him just in time for him to have suffered quite the grizzly fate. And it rewound the wounds of @Harper who...Cleo had never met in her life. It had been a heat of the moment thing.

But the energy inside of @Fina Drago didn't stop at just closing her wounds. It clung to the girl, heightening her sense of time, speeding her up, though to the catgirl the world would appear to slow down instead.

Another wave of Chronomancy, stronger than the last, coalesced around @Madison Freebird who had succumbed to her wounds, rewinding time further for her, undoing the woman's death entirely. Cleo wasn't about to let one of her main rivals bite the dust so suddenly.

But most importantly, Cleo turned to face @Ueno Mizuki and stepped forwards, blocking out the world for a moment to cup the woman's cheeks and drag her into a deep, searing kiss. A veritable aura of teal blue energy whipped up around them, as Cleo poured her all into undoing every wound that her girlfriend had received in this terrible battle. She wanted it to last forever, but there were things that needed to be done, so she released Mizuki after a couple of seconds.

Come back to me, okay? Don't go dying out there. Oh, and babe?

She began to build, Arcanamancy and Chronomancy building a set of teal blue chains that wrapped around Mizuki's wrists, yet didn't restrict her. In fact, every time Mizuki took damage, a link would break and the wound would rewind.

Go cause some damage, for me!

Ayna Nietzsche · Mar 5, 2023

Critical Success

100

Ayna glared back at Szofrit, her jaw clenched. A part of her had thought the battle was done, but the smarter part knew there was still much to endure. That nerd, Ayna did not like as much, but that same nerd was more than useful when it came to these things. Rose-tinted glasses are seldom efficient in matters of war. What an うるせんだよ piece of くそ!

As swift as a coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon, with all the strength of a raging fire, the magia rushed past everyone else, the lightning-charged blade of her spear aimed at Szofrit’s heart. Something was happening with their main antagonist, something that seemed otherwise painful, but Ayna ignored all that and focused on her personal vengeance.

Drone Command: Imperial Rite. She directed what had been bracelets on her hands to unlatch themselves, turning into small constructs with vibrating wings not unlike tiny bats or annoying insects. One of them followed her, fluttering behind, as it zapped her with more power. The other fluttered toward Chrys, charging him with unearned power as well. A third struggled to find another to endow with more of the same, but Ayna was too distracted to see where or with whom it ended up.

As soon as Ayna reached Szofrit, propelled by her mastery of speed and the winds, aerodynamics with magic, she stabbed her quarry with steel and lightning, screaming with all the rage of war inside her. The puppet master did her best to discourage her rebellious child, imposing her will against Ayna, but the latter was too fast and simply too angry to just give up and fall back. She was too fast, in fact, that she unintentionally created an afterimage of herself that delivered upon Szofrit an echo of the formerly brainwashed magia’s wrath.

The plan was to strike quickly and then return to her friends. Guerrilla tactics. But a momentary glimpse of her elven friend distracted the purple-haired duelist. In her mind’s eye, she unexpectedly saw a vision, a fragment of a stranger’s memory. Ayna found herself swallowed by that very vision, and remained where she was, abandoning her plan altogether.

Mizuki's fangs were tightly pressed together as she felt the bloodlust within her threatening to overwhelm her. It was a good thing that Szofrit wasn't edible, or she might have lost all self-control already and gone for the kill.

She abruptly turned her head when approached by @Eva, looking at the human with her heterochromatic eyes. She was offering to help her finish this... that was an offer Mizuki couldn't refuse, so when the alchemist released the sparkling mist the luna wolf closed her eyes and let it wash over her, feeling the substance cling to her fur, claws, and fangs, augmenting them until it looked like Mizuki's fur was made of white metal and her natural weapons had developed a deadly sheen.

Thanks. This should help!

She was already recalling her packmates using her Primal Aura when @Cleo Looker demanded some of her time, which Mizuki happily offered up. The kiss was unexpected but welcome, the wildling's clawed hands gripping the lancer's shoulders as the affection flowing forth from the kiss helped temper her bloodlust even as temporal chains wrapped themselves around Mizuki's wrists.

Will do!

Turning her attention to the battlefield she lowered herself onto all fours, pressing her claws firmly against the ground. Many of their allies were still standing, but yet more had already fallen, their blood painting the ground red where their wounds hadn't been cauterised by the magia's lasers. Blood which now belonged to Mizuki.

Raising her head Mizuki closed her eyes and howled, a long, drawn-out howl. Her packmates followed suit, the triad of lupines calling upon the blood of the fallen, which began to stir and gather, forming pools around the bundles of fur which @Cleo Looker had so helpfully spread around the battlefield. Where fur and blood met paganistic magic burst forth, the earth giving birth to twisted roots fed by blood and shaped by fur, until each puddle had turned into a mimicry of a wolf, their eyes glowing gold and sanguine just as Mizuki's did.

❰ Blood Pack ❱

Mizuki's howl tapered off into a growl as more fur covered her, her humanoid features covered under a layer of thick, bristling fur as she finally let her bloodlust take over as her pack gathered around her. One of her packmates managed to surprise @Fina Drago, pushing the catgirl up and catching her on his back as he felt like the feline armsmaster would be useful for what came next.

The hunt was on.

As if guided by an invisible command all the wolves surged forward, running across the battlefield as a flood of fur and fang. They passed the Baby Magnum without giving it a second thought, each and every wolf focused only on the figure still floating far above, even as Dissonance was wreaking havoc upon her body.

The first wolves that got close enough leapt, but rather than aiming to reach Szofrit they instead dove back into the ground, their bodies dissolving as the sanguine roots that formed them entangled themselves into the dirt, sturdy branches shooting up. More wolves sacrificed their temporary selves to form a single large tree, its trunk growing and stretching until it reached Szofrit, allowing the wolves that came after to begin the attack.

The diminished flood of wolves now fell upon Szofrit, some of them gnawing upon her synthetic form while others tore off the tentacles that were erupting from her Dissonance-infused form. Mizuki herself was enduring a barrage of Ley Spears as she pressed onwards, @Cleo Looker's temporal chains quickly shattering as they prevented the wildling from being torn apart even as she closed the final distance, her mismatched moon eyes leaving behind a glowing trail as she pounced and parted her jaws.

Her nano-coated fangs dug into the synthetic skin of Szofrit's forearm, puncturing magia and Dissonance alike as the wildling severed the limb at the elbow. Her crimson eye met Szofrit's before gravity forced her to finish the parabolic arc of her leap. Landing on the ground underneath Szofrit she bit clean through the forearm... before spitting out the fragments.

I CAN'T EAT THESE FRIGGING TOASTERS!

Yugam · Mar 5, 2023

Critical Success

100

"You idiot, are you trying to get yourself killed?!" Luthien's voice reached the man as he finally rolled to a stop at the elf's feet, letting out a half-groan, half-growl as he got onto one knee and spat on the black floor, a spattering of red giving it some color.

A cool-breeze washed over the Hunter's body, relaxing him as the steel shards that peppered his battered body slowly fell and clattered on the ground, the work of both Luthien and another felis he didn't know. Hard eyes softened slightly as he looked up at the two assisting him, and he gave them both a quiet nod of thanks, knowing he would've been dead by now if not for the help of others.

Luthien placed the jikdo on the ground beside Yugam before she flicked the side of his head. "Ow, hey!"
"Snap out of it and listen," she said as she began to play her violin, the rasping of her bow against the strings drawing out a melody as the remainder of his wounds began to close. Almost as if her playing had been Genesis, the world was restored into being, blooming outwards from around the Starcalled in an awesome display of creation.

"Feeling better—?!" the question abruptly ended as the sword the elf had picked back up suddenly flared with a bright white light, and was replaced with the slender form a black-haired girl, cradled in her arms.

"Unmei?!"
"Luthien."
". . ."
". . ."
". . ."
"You can put me down now."

A slow grin spread across Yugam's face as he got to his feet and dusted his coat off. He turned towards Unmei and was about to open his mouth to say something when-

Smack!

Unmei glared at him and pointed at Luthien and the felis. "Say thank you," she commanded curtly. Yugam rubbed the stinging red spot on his cheek as he turned to the elf and the beastfolk. "Thank you for making sure I don't eat shit," the man did as ordered, a bit sheepishly.
"Good. Now focus on the objective," Unmei said.
Yugam nodded. 'It's good to have you back, Mei.' The telepathic words softened the angry glare slightly. 'Shut up and get to work...'

A cocky grin spread across the man's face. "You're going." A small nod given in answer. "Go on then, I'll support you every step of the way." Luthien picked up the fallen revolver and handed it back to the Hunter. "You can thank me by coming back alive and in one piece. Both of you."
"Promise."
"Give her a good thrashing… but don't kill her, 'kay?" Yugam chuckled as he handed the weapon to Unmei and began to walk backwards towards where the fighting was thickest. "Oh c'mon, give us some credit." And with those last words the pair took off running towards their target.

Gunfire rang out through the battlefield as the two charged towards Szofrit, dodging beneath the attacks of magia, firing at others, letting nothing stop them, even as bullets tore at their flesh, and visions filled Yugam's mind. They rushed forward. Unmei dropped another magia, sparks flying from the mechanical corpse, already forgotten as Yugam tossed the spirit another load of bullets.

As soon as the pair were in range, they unloaded every bullet they had into the tentacled body of Szofrit, her new form only invigorating the battle-thirsty pair further.

With the guns empty, the tossed them aside in tandem before Unmei leapt into the air, twisting as her hand reached for Yugam's. Arms clasped together before light flared again as flesh and bone morphed it hardened steel, a bright blue glow illuminating it's razor edge like a flame. Just a little further, and Yugam was high in the air, the pointed end of Unmei aimed right Szofrit. A platform of solid blood formed beneath the Hunter's feet, and he pushed off it, rocketing down at her like an arrow.

Theme

When Szofrit and her mechanized children screamed, Magi knew.

Any vision of what could come was blacked out like a curtain drawing to a close. Wendy's heart hurt, memories of the vines digging in. The day that heralded Wendel's birth and the contradiction of her existence. A monster emerges from the steel of a machine as if it were the flesh of any other. The mecha people... were not so different at their cores after all.

The red magia mommy was indeed dissonant, Magi's senses really were accurate from when she accompanied Seigi on the scouting mission.

Fateless... like me, she just wants.... an ending she.... can be happy with. I....can't even cure myself... how will...
Just save her. Stop thinking. Just do. Even that gullible elf agrees with me.... focus on the e̸̳̋͆̚̕n̵̨͕̜̤̺̯͆͆̿́̐͛͘͘͜͜d̵͚̞̘̂̂̌͑́͂̽̏̄̽͠͝.

"... @Seigi Ling Ling ... punch through everything.... break it all... @Kyanna Wynne my magic and yours.... all for one goal... together..."

" @Tick Tock end it so we can go have lunch and be happy until the next episode."

The golden eye went out and returned to dimming blue. Magi put all of her power into her goal. No one else needed to understand, they just needed to be one with it! Maybe this would end this fragile body but as long as Wendel could maintain her distorted soul it would be fine.

A black-clawed hand thrust forward larger than any hand Magi's frame should have. The magic rings around her fired streams of corrupted energy. All of the grudge, misery, and hate collected over the course of this battle. Her other gloved hand swung her staff to the font and...

it was devoured by a black star.

It's all a lie... the endings all lead to the same place...I know...me...

"Don't forget what it is we want to do....saving has... so many meanings!"

The disembodied voice of the suffocated astral pleaded one last time before NOISE took over. The whaling of the past the present the future of severed fates. What was fate in the myriad chaos? The solution was... the end.

Time to end this overblown season of...

All went dark as if a marker blotted out Magi from the battlefield. From below came hands, hands looking like all of those she took in grief from, including those that were here now. Those hands tore at the blot of black and from it was the form only seen for a moment at the first sight. of the red magias power.

@Ash Vargold @Rael @Yugam may recall this form from that fated day that led to all of this for them.

...and @Luthien who had seen it after sighting perhaps what could have been, the astral walker that wandered in first awakening.

@Erick Stryker, the only man who dared to see into the void of a fateless future. Perhaps if he had not been torn to threads by the puppeted Nu, he would feel the wound of his mind ache at the plainly dressed "young woman" floating there. A taller quiet, and long-haired figure. One eye is sealed as it slumbers for a better time that will never come, and the other all seeing of the suffering of existence. Dancing hands of shadow reaching from the abyss beneath her. Beckoning for this crying mother's end.

For everything ends in time...

Hands of shadow encroached upon Szofit grasping the endlessly emerging tendrils with each hand. Magi if you could call her that, raised her normal human hands and brought them together as if covering up a small dying sphere of her imagination. The force of the space all around Szofrits mass across the field. The dark matter would devour her and seal that space to eternal rest... if only Magi's body had not already begun deteriorating to dust...

One.

That's number one.

The first time I've fallen. The first time everything faded to nothingness around me as life and consciousness left my body. The first time I have suffered the consequences of playing this game. The first time others have held out their hands to help me up.

My UI, glitched out as it is, still works. It yells at me, indicators blinking all sorts of colors in the edge of my vision.

That's number one.

The first thing I noticed is that my left hand... functions. To an extent. It's... not really my hand. Shadows envelope it; flesh and blood and bone replaced by shadows. I flex my fingers. They obey. Voices whisper reassurances that everything will be okay. Just let them help.

I know the terms of the contract I signed. The one that gives me expert command over my revolvers, unparalleled sight, and the ability to yank time itself by the collar and get it to slow the fuck down to near nothingness.

I'll worry about this later.

That's number one, of three.

@Toko's fuzzy ass is unceremoniously dumped next to mine. And in a moment, it gives me a chance to focus. Mild annoyances are great for that.

"Get up," I say, as I shove six fresh rounds into my revolver and rise to my feet. "We're safe if we stick by this egg thing. How good are you at range?"

(Continuation from comms I guess)
"Omega Glasses aren't-" Unlike the other two people, @Harper's keen eye seemed to recognize the value of Omega Fire instantly. If not for her glasses, one could see money symbols inside her eyes! "But of course! Free samples for everybody. Omega hopes it is to your liking!" In a way, any publicity was likely good publicity.

As she handed Harper one of her cans, she could see that 'finally' the battle had moved forward. Where once was the Mother of Machines, they were now fighting an eldritch Kaiju! "Uh-huh..." Unaware of most of the game's plot and the whole Dissonance shenanigan, the red-haired midget wrote it all down to bad taste. First Magia, now monster! Did the developers in their meeting shove every trope into one boss?! What next? Limited access to her background story to artificially boost players caring about her?

"YOU WEREN'T EVEN ON THE RADAR BEFORE CHRISTMAS! STOP ACTING ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY!" Omega called out in annoyance. "Stupid Magia, Omega's the only final boss." She huffed and puffed a bit before eyeing the still in front of her staying tigress up and down.

"Fluffy." A single word. Before eyeing her own energy bar. Big Kaijus required big solutions. Bigger than she had originally planned to anyway. "Fluffy Tiger Lady, you look like a punchy-muscle-person! Would you mind cooperating with Omega? She got a package to deliver and you can be the postwoman!"

As if that explained everything, Omega cleared her throat, lifted her hands, and started conducting an invisible melody. Her hands moved with rhyme and reason, to a beat only known to her as a few Magitek drones summoned around her. Those, in turn, started projecting circles made of magic, scanning the very air in front of Harper and Omega back and forth as slowly, but surely, something bigger materialized.

It was long and cylindric. Bit by bit. Its edges became more defined. Pixel by pixel, the color scheme similar to Omega's. Polygon by polygon, its resolution became one fitting the quality of the game. And then, it was finished. Bigger than the two Starcalled, yet small enough to not be over the top. A... "ROCKETU!"

There was no magic. No eldritch devil to aid her. No unbreakable will that could move mountains. It was simple, cold steel, packed to the brim with the power of destruction. "Mhm..." Omega now looked at the rocket (which was, admittedly, kept mid-air thanks to magic...) and back to Harper. She looked at Harper, and back to the rocket. She then Thanos snaped with her finger and the drones started to give the rocket a second paint job.

"Omega is feeling weirdly generous today. So, behold-! EXPLOSIONS RULE THE WORLD! A Symphony of Annihilation:"

Now the missile color scheme was a mix of black, red, and yellow. The 'tiger stripes' now clearly influenced by Harper's own appearance. It even had angry-looking eyes and an open mouth with white pointy teeth!

"DER STURMTIGER — HELDEN TÖTER!" She called out proudly. "And it needs YOUR guidance for its explosive finale. Omega's drones will provide cover." With these words, and once Harper would jump on, the missile would fly off. Omega wasn't actually sure if it'd reach its target all by itself, but surely the unknown Tiger would do the rest!

That only left the rest of her drones idly. "ATTENTION!" She called out to them, as the summoned Magitek drones put themselves in order like some soldiers. "READY!" Each one now shapeshifting into a floating magitek rifle. "AIM!" Locking onto whatever tentacles were in the way of Harper's path. "FIRE!" ... And wildly firing away at the monstrosity which was once a singular Magia.

"OOofff..." Omega, on the other hand, felt pretty much near completely drained as her body fell backward into the ground, just lying there. "That'll show her! Omega's feeling too tired to really talk more, however..."

...
...
...

"Syncing SOUND-Level-Frequency to user: Rael, removing noise distractions, streamlining compressor settings, disabling limit filter, optimizing equalizer... beep boop. Oohhhhooooo♫♫~~~ uwu♬~" The malfunctioned water 'robot' that was still around @Rael, synced its own voice to hers, carrying her magic even further across the battlefield.

There is no keeping up with him.

It was a foolish request, something born of some high that felt shallow and insignificant now. After all, he is fire made into flesh, a phoenix that knows no bounds, not even that of death, and her only true friends reside in her head, crawling under her skin, nipping at the tender neurons that barely hold her fractured psyche together. And they are as silent as the grave while she chases. Meanwhile, the anxiety of being left behind bubbles up in her chest, blooms in her stomach, and clogs her throat.

It feels familiar, so dangerously familiar, that she stumbles. Someone's shadow stretches, contorts, catches her as she tumbles, and allows her to jump to another, a short leap that immediately sees her back on her feet and moving. The jaunt is enough to recenter her, to quell the fear, to erase the tears that pricked behind her eyeballs. She'd never be left behind again.

She'd never let anyone think she was weak ever again.

He would beat her to the massive monster looming imperiously over the battlefield, but perhaps Nyx's keen eye-sight could ferret out some weakness that would allow her an advantage. Even as the ground trembles and makes her balance waver, a wince contorting her features as her ankle twists uncomfortably, she never stops moving, her attention never drifts, and the grip on her rapier only tightens.

And when the blade finally does sink in deep, embedded nearly to the basket pommel, a cocky grin stretches her lips, her fangs flash, and she looks for him because she wants to boast. But the memory overcomes her, and surges behind her eyes, making them roll, making her twitch, making her yelp in agonized pain.

The Hive swarms.

Imoogi · Mar 5, 2023

Imoogi's first instinct, of course, is to rush headlong into the fray.

After all, wasn't that why she was here? To fight the boss, to chase the glory of the last hit? This was the kind of excitement that she craved, a world that reality could never give her.

And yet, as she darted through the rubble around the hail of lighting spears, she couldn't ignore the scars left by Szofrit. The wounded, moaning and trying to escape, only to be felled by a final blow. The already dead, spilling blood. She could taste it on the air, thick and coppery.

The smouldering coal of fear caught flame at last, burning past the bravado. For a moment, the cold thread of this could kill me touched upon her mind.

She hopped another wall, only to nearly crash into the immobilized @Toko. She vaguely remembered her. She'd died, and come back fighting.

...she was kind of cool. ~~And rabbits were cute...~~

She stared ahead at the storm that was Szofrit, struggling with twin urges. She's nearly out of potions. The boss is right there, surrounded by a storm of spears and memories. Everyone is there!

Everyone, except her, and this pinned rabbit woman on the edge of death, just like the others.

"Fffffffuck me," she hissed, yanking a hollow needle from her bandolier. Her last bit of speed serum, which she was going to use to get out after bombing Szofrit. Instead, she grabbed Toko and roughly shifted her to expose her thigh. "Get ready - this is gonna sssting."

With that as her warning, she jabbed the needle into Toko's thigh. The brief moment of piercing pain was soon followed by a painful rush of pins-and-needles as the serum flooded her system. Not enough to move well, not like it would have with a healthy person... but enough to let her hobble back.

Imoogi gave one last look to the battlefield she could no longer reach before turning back, ghosting through the rubble with the aid of her Shadow Arts. And yet, she never strayed far from Toko, pausing just long enough that the leporine beastfolk could see the shortcuts she was passing through.

And then, she was back, here where the cowards were huddling, safe under the egg's protection. Including her.

As she watched others advance without her, Imoogi glanced at the needle she'd used to stab Toko. It was still coated with blood. Perhaps...

Imoogi licked the needle. The coppery taste was unpleasant, but with it came a faint rush - just like Mizuki's fur, Toko's blood had power. And she still had some concoctions that could use a little boost.

With a spreading grin, Imoogi got her reagents ready. Maybe helping the beastfolk wasn't such a waste after all...

Kamala Graham · Mar 5, 2023

Kamala could only watch as everything around here seemed to explode. There were too much violence, death, and losses, but the elf could only stand there, watching as the flames of war burned ferociously. Oh, goodness…

Kamala didn’t really know war until now, until this moment in time, when she realized for herself how it could twist the good into predators and the cowardly into heroes. She knew friendship, how hope in one another bonds the free when they were drowning in blood. She knew hate as well, how it bestows power unto the desperate and makes the most brilliant mind rot from the inside like last month’s vegetables. Now, she knew devastation, how often people bring it upon one another, and themselves, in the service of power, but more than anything, she has always known love, how it calms the heart even when it’s absent.

As the elf glowed a lighter shade of green, her magic regenerating its user even without the latter’s consent, Kamala held @Ayna Nietzsche by her hands. Before she could run off into her supposed doom, as she always did, Kamala looked Ayna in the eyes, worried, concerned, and ultimately afraid of her inevitable fate. Nothing about it is the same, yet everything about it is the same.

Almost a year in this game now, and Kamala never stopped bringing with her the mending spirits of nature she’s bonded with over the course of her adventures. Folks are always more excited about them, about the magic that heals, which suits her just fine. They shouldn’t see me when I share with them the miracles of nature. They should see their benevolence, and feel the warmth of such grace. Kamala reminded herself of peace in solitude, of joy in the community, with nature always taking care of them. That same warmth, that same benevolence, began to pour forth from the elf, a reminder of the most significant lesson she’s learned since her first death: This world belongs to all of them.

Kamala was one of the lucky ones. Even in her worst fights and darkest days. Because every time she steps onto the field, she gets to armor herself in meaning. Every day, she gets to wield the dream.

Chrys · Mar 6, 2023

"LOOKS LIKE I’VE GOT A HANDLE ON THINGS HERE, GUYS!" Chrys chuckled to himself, the massive hand raised in the air by his hands, as he quipped a quip stolen by his writer from Raid Leader Tarkya. Or was it someone else? Bah, no one reads this sh—

Before that thought could be finished, Hard Plume suddenly plopped right in front of Chrys and punched him right in his handsome face, saving everyone from budget Zhongli’s nonsensical stream of consciousness. Or at least that’s how it felt to him. Chrys actually managed to place the hand in front of him, using his geomancy to turn it into a makeshift earthen wall for his defense, but to no avail. Hard Plume’s anti-dad-joke power was too much for that rock hand. Nooo! Not my hand! I do things with that!

A loud thud knocked him momentarily unconscious. Chrys groaned, feeling the familiar thiccness of the ground on his back, the familiar pain slowly subsiding. Around him was pure chaos. People were screaming. People were dying. Some weirdos were singing or screeching or whatever. Chrys didn’t care. He wasn’t that invested in all this as everyone else was, including his writer. Chrys wasn’t a hero. He never wanted to be a hero. Heroes died and were paid less. For a capitalist like Chrystopheles Hardrockcafe, that was a fate worse than death.

Slowly getting back to his feet, he spat out blood. Again. Or maybe it was just mud. Again. His ears were still ringing when he caught sight of @Ayna Nietzsche zooming toward Szofrit. What a dumbass. He heaved a sigh, shaking his head, before pausing for a moment or two and then running after the purple-haired goblin girl.

Damn these heroes. Bet none of them even have disposable incomes yet. And they think they can save this world? This isn’t even real! It’s all just a game! Old man basically yelled at clouds…before hurling massive rocks, including the one he was standing on, at the glitching Szofrit.

As Szofrit's memories started slicing him up, Chrys realized that she could probably kill him. Just like that. Or at least she could try. But Chrys wasn’t worried. Nothing kills the guy with two charges of Immortal.

MAI · Mar 6, 2023

Together as one. Together, they could get through even a situation like this one. No matter how desperate things seemed to be, no matter how bleak the battle was, the Starcalled would shine as bright as the celestial bodies they were named after. The star that was shining right in front of MAI was the Golden Egg which was supposed to help them attain victory. A key to the secrets that Szofrit herself sought an answer to. And yet, as the golden sheen captivated her eyes, a second, far more important star drifted away.

"Kyanna..?"

Looking around, MAI wasn't able to find Kyanna anywhere in the safe zone. Such a crowd gathered there, but where was the witch? Standing up, the magia staggered around, aimlessly wandering in search of the other girl. The moment she left the safe zone, a stray piece of metal, flying through the air and spinning, severed one of her mechanical legs a small distance below the knee, making the girl fall to the ground. There was practically no pain, and she still had to find her.

Catching a glimpse from a distance, her wings, slowly falling apart, would light up with their blue glint once more, taking MAI above the shattered land of the Dragonship, as real as it could ever be, and propelling her forward. She didn't know what Kyanna was doing. It was as if her eyes could no longer perceive the world around her. There was only one thing she knew and had to do. Embrace the witch from behind and take her back, no matter the struggle or protests.

"Don't go out there wandering, please... have to stay here... where its safe. Keep an eye out... on the egg for me, please. Something is happening up ahead... have to see."

Without much explanation, she flew off again, leaving the girl behind. It was Szofrit... from the direction where she remained this whole fight, there was a wave of unpleasant energy that seemed to distort MAI's sensors even more. Her right eye, as damaged as it was, continued to work until this moment. Finally, the sight it provided was no more, the vision from her other eyes slightly blurred. But she could still see the chaotic commotion. However, her body, broken and tattered, was fighting against falling apart.

A portion of her left wing shattered, struct by a stray Ley spear, produced by the ship's mechanical weapons and utterly warped by dissonance. Yet, somehow, she did not fall. Hanno was the one who managed to catch her, positioning her at the small of his back. Though a similar mana wrapped around her, causing her vision to distort briefly.

"You... Hanno..!" She fell silent for a brief moment. "I... I probably can't save her. But I want to try."

They were close enough. Parting from the tentacle and faerin himself, the girl's energy was restored just enough to keep her afloat in the air. But even one single look at Szofrit and her form caused MAI to pause... and for tears to flow from her remaining eye. The world went dark for her.

"You took control of my body and made me act against my will..."
"...I don't forget, but I do forgive."

"...You have divided us to conquer us."
"And yet, we reunited..."

"...You have killed countless Starcalled during this battle."
"But they stood up again, unbroken..."

"...Others want you dead. I probably can't convince them... when emotions flare, none care who the victim really is..."
"...But please, no more of this..."

❰ ~~̸̦͍̊H̷̳͎̾͠a̸̼͙̎n̴̩̳̒d̶̖̬͒̌l̴͔̪̊͊e̶̜̦̕r̷̼͚̊'̴̛͇s̷̰̺̓ ̸͍̒̀L̸̢͋͊u̴̪̬̿͐l̸̮͇̄̑l̷̞̓̔ạ̶̯̄̾b̵̼͍̒ŷ̸̝ ̸͍͐❱~~

❰ Lullaby for Mother ❱

A song that only the present magia could hear. A soothing melody that made even Szofrit's movements hesitate, a few attacks miss, graze instead of pierce. Even if MAI's own body fell apart, pierced by more spears, crushed under the weight of dissonance, she would not stop. Even though her own hope for a peaceful resolution had faded... despair was, in its own right, a fuel that could keep one going.

Vina was glad to see the open skies again as Szofrit's attempts at keeping them contained finally collapsed entirely. Outside of the void there was the blue air she loved, and even if the wind carried the smell of death it still was a wind, caressing her face and playing with her obscenely long hair. Flying in the air like she was she could see the sunlight glittering upon the snow, although she couldn't afford to take her attention away from the battle for long.

As pleasant as the breaking dawn was, Szofrit's condition seemed to only be getting worse. Vina was unaware of the plan others had hatched to try and save the Mother of Machines, but she didn't need a plan to know that whatever was going on with the magia wasn't healthy. As her song came to an end the vixen's eyes widened as suddenly the synthetic sovereign was adorned by tentacles which symbolised an illness which Vina was all too familiar with: Dissonance.

Oh no.

These whispered words were soon lost amidst the sounds of combat. Her fellow Starcalled were only emboldened to press the attack, now that everyone who was still standing was united and Szofrit was reaching the limits of her power. All attempts at dialogue had failed, so the songstress could hardly disagree with their decision.

Still, while the appearance of Dissonance was a sign that the situation was even worse than Vina had thought, it was also a sign that maybe there was still hope.

Looking around from her airborne position Vina tried to find people who might be able to help her, friends she loved and who were within range to receive her assistance. @Fina Drago had wisely taken shelter in the area around the golden egg, and a mane as red as the dawn told her that @Zelrius was also close by. While she would consider everyone else a friend as well she had yet to actually talk with most of those who had yet to join the final charge against Szofrit, which meant that her third choice would have to be someone who oozed reliability.

Loosening her control over the winds Vina lowered herself to the ground, landing right next to the golden egg. She didn't know much about this egg either, but she could hear that there was something within that wished to be born.

I look forward to meeting you, whoever you may be~

She gently placed one hand against the golden shell as she spoke those words with a smile, but then turned her attention back to her allies and friends. Her next words were augmented by Harmonic Magic, allowing them to be heard clearly even from a distance, as if Vina was speaking to everyone personally.

If she's corrupted by Dissonance we might be able to cure her. It taints the mind, so removing it could put an end to this conflict. So please, do your best to purge the Dissonance from her.

With that said she prepared herself to play her next song. Something faster, something more invigorating: rather than bolstering one's vitality she would use it to empower her friends, giving them the strength they needed to destroy the corruption running rampant in Szofrit's body and soul.

As the sound of her violin wove through the air, overpowering the chaotic cacophony of combat, the effects would immediately be noticeable for those she had chosen to assist.

@Fina Drago's arcane-forged weapons began to vibrate at a high frequency, high enough that their outline became faintly blurred. Anything those weapons touched would be weakened and eroded, allowing the weapons to wreak even greater havoc.

@Harper would feel her own heartbeat more clearly than ever, the passionate rhythm resonating throughout her entire body. Each of her brave blows would release a shockwave, allowing her strikes to penetrate deeply into her target and destroy them from within.

@Zelrius received a boost to his destructive firepower: as long as Vina played his flames would be joined by sparking electricity, lightning and fire mixing and merging to unleash the power of raw and unrestrained plasma, filling the air with a roaring and crackling as a clear warning to all.

Fuxi · Mar 6, 2023

The din of battle suddenly dimmed for just a moment as the world seemed to return to being, the black void of nothingness returning to a state of color, splashes of crimson across the myriad colors of life. Flying high above in contrast, the metal monstrosity of what Inari could only assume was the boss of the hour whipped tentacles at those who approached her. And yet, the players were making progress. Slowly, but it was progress. Even though the fox-girl couldn't see an HP bar for the boss, her battered form was self evident. She couldn't last forever after all.

Picking out a dark head of hair that Inari never had seen before, a strong defensive stance, she conjured a crop of thick vines around him, sharps thorns discouraging anyone from touching the thick walls that grew around him and shielded him.

"We got her on the ropes guys!" Inari shouted with glee, unaware of what they'd already lost. "Keep go-!" Inari's breath caught in her throat as a flash of blue sped on by, the beautiful blue-haired girl from before speeding by, blowing a kiss the fox's way as her face suddenly turned bright red. An unbidden wind chased after the blue-haired woman, granting her an unnatural speed as Inari gently touched her warm cheeks, despite the chaos brewing around her.

There was nothing but chaos surrounding the Golden Egg. Asher wasn't sure what to do amongst all the arguing, singing, and spells flying every which way. If anything, it was too many different pieces of stimuli for him. Shutting his eyes tight, attempting to slow his breathing and ground himself, didn't work, and the soft brush of Rael's fingertips was more than enough to bring him back to the here and now.

His eyes focus on the blood on her clothes, and he wants to ask her about it, wants to demand the story about what happened, but it isn't the time or place. He isn't even sure that he wants to know. And when he realizes that, his lips press into a thin line and his crimson gaze lifts to her eyes. She turns, looks off into the distance, and Asher nods his head, immediately understanding what she wants.

Heaving her onto his back, he takes off, his steps sturdy as he carts her into the fray while simultaneously wrapping her in a protective aura.

Szofrit was fraying. Cadmean watched her sequester the egg away, watched as the taint within the robotic mother writhed and burst through the gaps in her circuity and faux-skin. Though she was nowhere near the section of the battlefield swirling with psychic distortions, the pressure of the storm of fragmented memories was perceptible even from the relative safety of the shadow of the golden egg.

This seemed as though it would be their last shot. With the laser drawing from their life force every second Szofrit remained standing, a prolonged conflict was not tenable.

So Cadmean opened her eyes to the stars, offering her body as a cosmic conduit. Her cepheid pupils pulsated in time to her heartbeat. At the peak of brightness, Cadmean saw the world as it was, war-torn and ruined. At the nadir, she saw what the stars meant for her to see. Luminous starlight pooled around a single figure on the battlefield, their appearance indistinct save for their pale pink hair. The one calling for Szofrit's salvation.

If that was what the stars had in mind, far be it from Cadmean to question them. She would need more power though, to replace what the propulsar had sapped from her. Again the stars showed her the path, illuminating an... 'object', she supposed was the right term for it, discarded on the ground. With her ruined hands, Cadmean picked up what was left of her left thumb, still attached to the meat of the palm. She could sense the remnants of her own magic wafting off it, causing a familiar hunger to gnaw at her stomach.

She needed energy. In the absence of anything more magically fulfilling, it would have to do. The flesh went easily down her gullet, though the bones were slightly tricker, but in the end it mattered little. She felt a burst of warmth surging through her injured hands, regrowing the flesh in an instant. Then the warmth turned deeper, nestling in the incorporeal hollow where Szofrit's propulsar had drained her vitality. It buoyed her; she felt ascendant, born anew. Powerful enough for turning Szofrit's attack against her.

In the absence of life energy, she drew on spiritual energy instead--in the aftermath of her restoration, she had that in abundance. Casting her ethereal gaze outwards, Cadmean aimed for the distorted Szofrit, sending the overload of spiritual energy along the path laid out for her by the stars. They would ensure that the attack pierced through the psychic storm and hit true.

At the same time, she split off a portion of the spiritual energy to form a protective barrier around @Rael. If she was spearheading the mission to save Szofrit, and if such was the will of the stars, Cadmean would do her part to see it through.

...She still felt so strong. Cadmean's starry gaze fell upon her restored hands in wonder. If her own lowly mortal flesh could fuel such a wellspring of power, then she could only imagine what it must have been like to feast upon a god...

Alcea felt reinvigorated. The air at zone 5 had changed from a tired, desperate struggle to the final push to end the fight. It was intoxicating, to be so close to the end. She knew, objectively, it was risky and extremely dangerous to charge in head first. The smart thing to do would be to hang back, defend the fighters on their way in, and take it easy. She already died once, she couldn't afford to die another time. Yet when she looked around, surrounded by others willing to give their lives, she couldn't back down. Not when she was fighting for Ayame's world. And so, she chose to charge into the eye of the storm.

She was out of shards, yet it didn't matter. The stars seen in the sky were nothing but echoes of dead worlds, and they were the Starcalled. The world they now lived in could be called false, dead, illusory. But that didn't matter. All she had to do was light the way. She thanked @Kyanna Wynne and @Imoogi as they mended her wounds. Death wasn't something she was particularly inclined to feel again, yet she knew that this world was unforgiving. Gravity magic pulsed at her feet, and with a nod to @Tick Tock, they soared through the air.

The feeling of flying was weightlessness, of freedom. To cast away the shackles of gravity and common sense and float through the world. Bullets, bombs, magic and people flew around them as the pair honed in on Szofrit's location. Then, they got close enough and things went Wrong. It felt like the world itself was trying to tear her apart, flashes of things she's never seen before threatening to overwhelm her, and then it was over.

Yet, there was no time to dwell on what had happened. Waves of Ley Spears came flying at her, aimed at her and Tick Tock specifically or launched in a desperate last attempt, she couldn't tell. A half formed shield was all she managed to conjure before a familiar face appeared. @Hanno Futaba and Alcea had been through a lot together in the few short hours and she was glad to see that he was still kicking. The faerin knight managed to knock aside the shots aimed at her, giving her breathing room to continue her flight. At his question, she smiled back and said, "Got better. Can't leave a job halfway done, not when it's this important."

She soared higher and higher, illuminated by flashes of battle as everyone gave their best to end this bloody battle. When she looked down, she didn't see a battlefield. It was a galaxy, of stars and comets and little motes of light dancing across. They were Starcalled, and thus, they answered. The light of the stars was what illuminated the heavens, and she was the torchbearer. Innumerable beams of light burned through the sky, marking Szofrit for judgement.

Continuing from comms:

Bestowing @Frey Elzeiros not a definitive answer but rather the promise of one, Schilva makes a split-second decision to put an end to this battle, then sit down for a good long talk about what the two had been respectively up to.

Ow! The hell...

Before Schilva could take off, a small prick of pain drew the attention of the accelerating swordsman. A strange needle had embedded itself into his leg, whatever concoction within it already having been emptied into his bloodstream. Initially alarmed, the kick from @Imoogi's @Toko-blood drug cocktail hitting almost immediately reassured Schilva that...oh yeah, this is the good shit.

Pupils dilating and heated breaths hissing between his lips, his racing thoughts thinning as if pared paper-thin. He was speed, power, a hero destined for glory and fame! He was the blade of justice that would rend evil and save this world!

Alright, alright alright alright! Here we go, I'm feeling GREAT! Uhhh, what's-your-name, gah...Ash!

Half-carrying, half-pushing @Ash Vargold across the field, Schilva skilfully dodged the lethal attacks that Szofrit now desperately sent raining down upon the memory-warped terrain. Unheeding of the increasingly chaotic battlefield, Imoogi's drugs continue to suppress his exhaustion as he performed death-defying maneuvers one after another.

From acrobatic bounds over hurtling rubble to narrow needle-threading sidesteps between thundering Ley Spears that would otherwise have smote himself and his charge in an instant, Schilva shot like a loosed arrow, aimed squarely for the taking of Szofrit's head. Having passed his offhand blade to his new brother in battle, an unstable gleam seemed to illuminate Schilva's wild eyes.

WE'RE HEROES, ASH! WE'RE GOING TO BE HEROES! LET'S TAKE THIS ROBO-BITCH DOWN, MAN- LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!

With that last gung-ho scream, Schilva suddenly hurled Ash forwards with enough force that if he didn't start planning for the impending collision with Szofrit...well, eggs and rock, you know the rest.

Why had Schilva Flasch, protector of the innocent and weak, tossed Ash to the metaphorical mama wolf like that? To free his hands up, of course, in order to-

IT'S TIME! IT'S TIME! TIME TO SEIZE GLORY WITH MY OWN HANDS, MY OWN BLADE! WATCH THIS SHIT, SZOFRIT!
I'M THE STRONGEST, THE FASTEST-
I AM SCHILVA FLASCH!!!!

Was that courage or madness that shone as bright as the burning heart of a star, driven by the fevered delusion of glorious victory? Only Szofrit could say, for he and the razor edge he wielded now appeared before her form as she hesitated, @MAI's words echoing in the tense air; then again and again and again, here and there and here once more.

Blinding momentum overcharged to such speeds that flashing afterimages of Schilva's katana were the only traces of his movement, and the world dimmed from his eyes before he was thrown back by a wave of concentrated memories. Even after being slammed through the scathing heat of a Ley Spear, the ecstatic grin on Schilva's face never faded through his drugged haze as he began pulling himself up from the ground without a moment's rest.

In the end, how different were courage and madness, anyway?
