With Levi and Sarina taken care of, Langley turned his attention back to the fight. Szofrit had turned monstrous, and the area around her looked to be more dangerous than ever. With the memory of being brought back to life still fresh in his mind, Langley resolved to stay well away from that. He had no intention of dying a second time.

Instead, he took note of Szofrit's minions still mulling around the battlefield. Hard Plume was a ways away, and Nu was too fast for him to catch. But the spiked ball of Baby Magnum was still so helpfully sitting right there, the perfect sitting duck. Excellent. Langley had some frustration he needed to vent.

He moved towards his chosen target, shadows wreathing his feet as he walked as his emotions got the better of him. It had been a long day: losing both arms and dying had taken its toll. Perhaps assault wasn't the best coping mechanism, but who could fault him for it on a battlefield?

As he unloaded a barrage of kicks to Magnum's spiked shell, taking advantage of the openings created by others who had the same target in mind, he reveled in the simple violence of his simple body. The arm was being silent for once, perhaps content with the morsels of blood and cauterized flesh it had nibbled on earlier. Langley could almost pretend like everything was normal...

...until, very abruptly, he couldn't. By chance, he locked eyes with one of the many like-minded attackers, and found himself staring into an (unfortunately) familiar green-red-black gaze.

His blood ran cold. His mouth felt dry. "You," he said, and could not find the words to continue. His body could not find the strength to continue. Unwise as it was, he froze in place as he continued to stare at @Ludmilla Orphys.

Toko · Mar 7, 2023

A shaft of pure energy had sought her among the crowd and soon the fighter had found herself lanced in her abdomen, the attack now holding her prison against the ground as the storm of steel raged around them. Multiple cuts covered any exposed flesh as the hare gritted her teeth tightly, resisting the want to scream and accidentally bite her tongue off in the process. She had felt pain within the game before, but nothing as extraordinary as this, and Toko could feel her consciousness drifting…

{ Taeru, } She felt the pain lessen as a firm voice echoed within her, and while she’d never heard them before Toko knew who it belonged to. { She will not claim you twice. }

"No... time to rest, buddy. You are doing great. Come on!"
"H-Hai! We still have… work to do, huh?"

The familiar face of a teal-haired faerin came into focus then, the hand he extended clasped tightly as the fighter struggled back onto her feet. A hand reached for her midriff, clasping the area where the beam of light had ruptured her armor to skewer the rabbit. "Haaah?" Surprise colored her face as Toko looked downwards, fingers stained crimson as they traced the rough and jagged scar tissue present where a gaping fresh wound should’ve been.

It seems I owe you again Tsukito Seereh-sama, gomenasai.
{ I know not what you speak of, watashi no kodomo. }

A light smirk pulled at her lips as she wobbled on her feet, watching at @Hanno continued to encourage those around him, before many of them began to head towards Szofrit again. Toko had wished nothing more than to follow them but her body refused to listen, the hare remaining rooted to her spot as her fist balled tightly in frustration even as one of @Ayna‘s small drones quietly latched onto her armor.

"Get ready - this is gonna sssting."
"Nanda—itai!!!"

@Imoogi‘s warning barely gave Toko time to prepare herself, a loud hiss leaving the lepus as she was jabbed on her thigh and the serum was injected into her bloodstream. Her teeth gritted tightly as a prickling wave of discomfort spread throughout her body, but as it began to wane the hare realized her muscles began to respond again. A part of her was tempted to rush ahead before she caught sight of the longing look on the girl’s face as she looked in the direction of others, before Imoogi turned around and began to make her way back to where others awaited.

No words were needed for Toko to realize she was still safeguarding the hare as she moved in the same direction, the dark-haired snake never straying too far from the fighter as she guided her through the chaos and rubble by showing Toko a safe path. Her muscles strained and cried out in protest as she moved, finally plopping onto the ground besides a familiar face as the fighter struggled to catch her breath.

"Get up."
"Nice to… see you too, Mads."

A smirk was spared for the woman as she watched @Madison load six new rounds into her revolver, before a groan echoed from Toko as she rose to her feet once more. Her gaze trailed towards the massive golden egg as Madison spoke, having witnessed the space around it be spared from destruction once already, before a raspy chuckle escaped at the lioness’ next words.

"How good are you at range?"
"You know I prefer up close and personal… but that’s a big enough target for me to hit."

Crimson eyes settled on Baby Magnum as she replied, the fighter taking a moment to crack her neck and knuckles as she prepared herself for one last round. A wordless query was given to the spirit before she felt them stir, their energy flooding Toko’s body to a level the hare had never felt before as a pale gold aura burst around her.

Palms smacked onto the ground, the energy infused outwards and causing the surface to crack and break, before Toko felt the energy of others mingle with that of the spirit and strengthen her magical grip. Countless pieces of stone of varying sizes hovered around the hare, the power of the stars severing the usual laws of physics as Toko took careful aim of her opponent. It was then she caught sight of @Bradwynne as he joined their assault, ensuring that her own attack didn’t get in the way of his own as they all lashed out towards Baby Magnum.

Fina knew she should be out there, trying to help. However, the safety of the crowd that surrounded the golden egg was far too enticing. Not to mention, she knew almost none of the people around her, and of the ones out there fighting? Even less. There was no way she could properly coordinate with any of them if she just ran out and started doing her own thing. That meant having to hang back a bit more and evaluate things, figure out a strategy for herself.

However, just as a familiar face of @Vina Skysong appeared in the gap between the people, something nudged against the feline's backside. And that slight nudge quickly turned into a proper push, toppling the girl as she landed on something surprisingly cushy. "Wha- a wolf? Wait, where are weeeeeeeee--" Without any real warning, the beast started sprinting toward the frontlines with Fina on its back. It did not convey any intent nor desire, perhaps only indicating to Fina... Stop being such a coward, go and die with everyone else up ahead.

At the very least, the wolf was nimble enough to blaze past the devastated terrain and destruction raining down upon them. By the time Fina managed to get a proper grip in a position where she could look around, they were already near Szofrit and her current state... well, it was nothing short of absolutely horrific. "What the hell is going on with her..? Wait-" As terrifying as their enemy was, something even more terrifying quickly appeared. A single Starcalled that managed to rip part of the enemy leader off, just like that.

The forge master stared at the scene with a blank expression until the wolf suddenly chucked her off. "H-hey!" Looking in the direction where @Ueno Mizuki landed, the felis looked at the wolf once more. "I-uh-guess you two are pack mates or something? How about you pick her up, 'cause I'm not going anywhere near someone that scary!" Apparently, the wolf understood because it went in the wolf girl's direction. But that posed a different kind of problem for Fina.

'Those tentacles are definitely growing... nope, nah, nyep, not staying here!' Tactical retreat it was, just as soon as she arrived. Conjuring several spears, it was only for a brief moment that the girl noticed they seemed unusually strong... and vibrating a bit? No matter, she sent them all toward Szofrit, feebly attempting to cut apart at least some of the dissonant tendrils before they could grab onto anyone, or god forbid, her. If nothing else, it ensured that Fina's retreat was a fairly successful one... as was Mizuki's, by the looks of things.

Ash Vargold · Mar 7, 2023

"Alright, let's go-?!

It was the last thing Ash was able to say before Schilva was off with him in tow. The world became a frantic blur of stone and steel and Schilva's shouting about heroism. His claws, briefly loosed from his control, began to rip at the terrain, ripping paths through the rubble and fending off what attacks they could.

"Hey, maybe you should calm-!" He cut himself off as they crossed into Szofrit's domain of singing blades and fragmented memories. They were quickly numbed by chthonic cold, but it just cemented in the sharp familiarity left in their wake.

He'd felt this pain before. Back then, the first time she'd seen Szofrit's face, before all this death and destruction. Back then, he thought the cutting knives to be nothing more than an attack. Were those her memories all along...?

From the moment he'd logged in, Ash's path kept spiraling back to Vintergard. To the defense of Camp Hope. To the Calculator's twisted simulation. To Szofrit. And now it had come full circle, with him facing down the embodiment of all this pain and death.

...at a much faster speed than he'd been intending, fuck fuck fuck.

He barely had a moment to reorient himself as he was thrown by Schilva. He barely managed to avoid a nasty collision and landed on the other side, knees crying out in pain as he spun around and directed his claws towards Szofrit's back. They tore away at the dissonant flesh, prying for any opening they could find.

And the moment they found that opening? First it was Ash's longsword piercing through, locking open a gap in her plating. And after that it was Schilva's katana leaving deep gouges in the exposed weakpoint, the edge glinting in the light of the battlefield.

A heated debate... in the middle of battle? Sometimes the anime tropes really seem to shine through in this world. Where do people find the time and focus to have a full blown conversation in the middle of this hellscape like that? Icy blue eyes turned scanned away, drowning out the likes of @Rael and Astor (@Raid Boss ) as they went over the nature of politics and rammifications of whatever course they chose here. Something the wannabe hero couldn't help but notice wouldn't have been an issue if this problem was tackled in the four years of player absence, rather than this spiral of chaos it had become. Why did he have to save this selfish man? ...Why did he loathe Astor so much? They had a lot in common afterall.

They had a lot in common.

His teeth grit, heel scrapping with a pivot. The battlefield was a disaster of bodies, spells, and cacophonus voices. Without realizing the connection between that specific vocabulary, his gaze landed on a bloodlusted figure, sword in the air. @Nyx - A name apt to her dark, complicated disposition. She hadn't said anything to their race, and now he wouldn't let her stand alone. Even with his wings gone, there was searing warmth just underneath his skin. Pricking at every fiber, every muscle. Never were the was the phrase "boiling blood" more true for anyone than Zelrius at this current moment. "The King"s voice was a distant, commanding echo behind him. "I am not one of your's, loser. Was his last thought before beaten boots found the steely ground again.

Nothing could stop the fire that rose first from his feet, and mounted into a windbrushed sphere around his body. Turning his form from man to a comet that streaked across the field directly toward Szofrit. Having watched Nyx take it first, he was best able to forsee the incoming spears. Feeling the shockingly uncomfortable sensation of their mechanical electrcitiy once again, though this was nothing compared to the shot of the Ley Lance. Unaware of the energizing power of @Vina Skysong 's song somewhere in the field.

His rush didn't stop short this time. His momentum carrying him forward until that comet that had become his visage crashed directly into the Mother of Machines. Using the force and his own speed to place a foot on her chest and flip backward back down. So close to Nyx, he'd have said something. If it wasn't for the frustration ever bubbling in his heart. Anger that screamed out, fire that threatened to consume Zelrius if not given an outlet.

Exhaustion was not a problem this time. Some witch's (@Kyanna Wynne ) time magic had reversed the effects of the last few minutes. Extending that wash of refreshment from having literally been reborn from ashes throughout his body. He reached a hand to his back, peeling his coat uncomfortably from his back. At first, the thought was sweat. But the back of his palm told a different story. Covered in a red fluid, his muscles there notably relaxed. ....Had someone thrown a potion on him when he wasn't paying attention? (@Imoogi ). Somehow, that was even more frustrating.

Without even seeing the nearby @Aerial , Zelrius let it all out at once. From the ground all around him, his world sprouted into twisting spirals of flame and heat. It was uncontrolled, unmeasured. All consuming unless better directed by someone in a cooler state of mind.

Aerial · Mar 7, 2023

The final assault.

Lightning blurred the woman's image as flashes of light struck across the battlefield, the final bolt materializing Aerial in her target's vicinity. Teeth grit together in pain when memories splintered into her consciousness. Realization: this was Szofrit's memory. However, there wasn't time to be haunted by past memories; whether they belonged to herself or Szofrit.

Dissonance warped The Mother of Machines into an unsettling sight. An intense pressure caused the tempest to momentarily halt. Gravity fought against the pressurized energy. An unsteady force field helped alleviate the weights that held her down. Still, vision blurred and breathing became shallow underneath the dense aura. Her focus honed in on the Avatar of Death.

The tempest cycled through the zone a final time.

Debris gathered as the galeforce winds roared through the sky. An eery silence fell through the area protected by the eye of the storm. It passed quickly, though, as the howling tempest tore through the area. Its rage burned hotter, brighter when the winds swept up @Zelrius's hot flames, greedily encapsulating them while growing larger as fire consumed oxygen. In a blink of an eye, a wildfire crackled within the uncontrollable tornado.

Whether the machine melted under the force didn't matter to the woman. The discussion played briefly in her mind but Aerial held firm: if Szofrit lived then she'd live and die if she died. It was as simple as that. Besides, there was no controlling the burning storm as it sought to consume the machinery in its path.

Lightning carried the windswept woman back to the safety of the golden egg. She sank to her knees, exhausted, as she struggled to catch her breath. Her eyes never once left the sight of the corrupted machine.

Terrasphere was a fantasy game. Harper was well aware of this fact by this point, yet she still had to stop and do a double take at the utterly bizarre situation she found herself in. It wasn't everyday one found themselves being asked to ride a tiger-stylized rocket aimed at a dissonant-crazed robot while holding a can of soda. And while the questions of how safe this was or how was she even going to guide the rocket to its destination like Omega had asked plagued her mind, the tigress couldn't help but nod with a fierce expression.

Maybe it was the adrenaline. Maybe she had gotten hit in the head a few too many times. Or maybe all the near deaths had just made her go cuckoo, but the truth was that she didn't care about the risks in the slightest at this point. Nor did she particularly care that much about saving the world. All that was left in the beastkin's heart was an blazing desire to strike Szofrit down.

How dare she insult her? How dare she look down on her? How dare she still stand?

Her wounds were patched by the crimson lancer. Her might was invigorated by the snow-white vixen. She could feel the blood running through her veins, ever faster and ever hotter as the tigress's thoughts got narrower and narrower. All that was left in Harper's world was Szofrit, and it would be a cold day in hell before there was enough room for the two of them in said world.

"Yoshaaaaaa!"

Climbing up on the rocket with an animalistic roar, the tigress holding tight as she found herself high into the air. Omega's drones did a good job in keeping her safe, and it wouldn't be long until she would arrive at Szofr-

This is taking too long.

She couldn't wait. She wouldn't wait. Szofrit would feel all the pent-up frustration inside Harper be inprinted upon her very being. The air dried her throat, so the beastkin ripped up a hole onto the soda can she was carrying with her fangs and gobbled all the liquid in seconds, before going on all fours. Her legs would contract and their muscles would bulge out to unnatural sizes as Harper compressed her own body like a spring, her eyes locked upon her target.

And much like a spring, she would eventually release all that energy. Her leap was powerful enough to almost throw the rocket entirely off-course, her body becoming a blur before she speared her own body through Szofrit's, the both of them sliding through the ground. Her bones broke, concussions happened, and pain ignited. None of it mattered.

She continued her assault, grabbing Szofrit by the neck with her tail and jumping onto the air, flipping forward to send her body back into the ground where she would come crashing down onto her chest with her feet, the ground below cracking on impact. The general's balljoints might prevent her locks from working, but all that meant was that Harper would need to use the planet to break her instead of biomechanics.

Ley Spears pierced her body. The memento blade struck true. And even with MAI's help, Harper's body was severely maimed. But to her, it was as those none of those existed. All there was were Szofrit and the unending desire to overcome her.

She would grab the magia by the throat and elbow, deadlifting her off the ground. "Why don't you look down at me now? WHY DON'T YOU TRY IT?!" Her bestial eyes would stare down Szofrit's, before executing the same Osotogari that had failed back then, smashing the magia deep into the earth. Just in time too, as her ears picked up the rocket coming close.

Extending her arm to the side, her claws would dig upon the body of the rocket as it flew past her and tried to struck Szofrit, stopping it dead in its tracks. Lifting it over her body with little effort, she would look down upon Szofrit for the first time in this war.

"Yippie-ki-yay, sucker."

Her arm would swing downwards, and the both of them would disappear amidst the violent explosion that followed.

The song began to die down as the world seemed to shift yet again. The chaos building, the powers of those fighting for their lives rising to meet the great entity that loomed above them. Attia stood there for a heartbeat, watching heroes throw their lives away.

She wondered what Hanno was doing. Was he okay?

She bit the inside of her lip, drawing blood. What did it matter? He, just like everyone else, was just someone to be used in the end. A tool, a fulcrum to maneuver her closer to her blissful future in this paradise. Most of these people weren't even close to suffering a lock, so why fret about their suffering? They'd come back, perhaps a little wrung out, but they'd walk away. There were enough people here fighting that the end was inevitable. It was fine. Not a problem. There was no reason for her to put her own health at risk just to-

But is he okay?

"Tch!" She clicked her tongue, her lip twitching involuntarily. She didn't even notice as her own wings spread, she didn't acknowledge the rumbling hymn echoing around her. She paid no mind to the edge of her bardiche glowing with magical power.

She'd never been the motherly type. She hated sycophants. She hated heroes. All of it was a waste, all of it was just an opportunity to... she scowled at her own train of thought. When had she started to sound like her father?

The wind whipped past her face as she hurtled in the direction of the epicenter of battle. The tight buns of her silver hair unraveling until it fluttered around her face wildly. She gripped the pole of her weapon with both hands, drawing it back in a wide arc.

Why was she even thinking about all this? Where did the justification she'd used before go? This mechanical bitch was damaging her property, the things that she wanted for herself. That was the right way of thinking about it, wasn't it? That was why she was here. She didn't care or anything. She didn't feel any remorse for seeing these people die.

"THEN WHY AM I FLYING IN YOUR DIRECTION?!"

She screamed at the Mother of Machines, her weapon raised.

Damn it! Damn it! This is all your fault! If it wasn't for you! If it wasn't for you!

"JUST DIE ALREADY! DAMN YOU!"

She brought the bardiche down, and committed to the stupidest thing she'd ever done.

The battle continued. Szofrit's grasp over reality had now vanished completely as their surroundings shifted once again, albeit only briefly. The self-proclaimed heroine split from Tock (@Tick Tock) in one final clash of lightning jabs, and Seigi regained her footing as she landed on some ruinous rubble, just to be pierced by one of Szofrit's attacks right after as she lost all defensive capabilities under a giant pressure wave.

"Tzch..." If she still had a health bar, her UI would now be flashing red as she stopped radiating and ripping herself away from the magically burning lance. "T-That's nothing!" How could she stop and fall now, when there was still so much to accomplish?

"You can't... change your past..." She murmured, coughing up blood as Szofrit seemed to lose control of herself. "But you can change the future and not let the past define you!" She called out to the Dissonant Magia before being buried by a wave of dissonant tendrils of varying sizes. Ripping, tearing, and punching at them as she tried to hold her stand.

Seems like you're in trouble.
A familiar voice whispered in her mind.
No, I'm not.
Yes, you are.
Hue hue hue... we're on the brink of collapse, do you think you have a choice?
I always do!
Seigi, no you do-
Seigi yes!

As @Luthien's song carried the hopes and dreams of @Magi Heart (before her impending alt+f4) to Seigi's spirit, she regained just enough strength to break free from the Dissonant Assault to make another attack at Szofrit, jumping into her very direction and screaming...

"SZZZZOOOOOOFFFFRRRIII— Bleigh-" Just to be mentally smacked by a sudden wave of memories... enough to lose her focus to be buried in a mass of appendages once again.

You're an embarrassment to watch. A testimony to how USELESS Magitek truly is... watch, and learn, little hero...

"MAGIA!" ~~Seigi~~ Nanami called out as a dark wave cleared space once again. "I still got a grudge to settle, it's only fair if I crush your party too, is it not?" In the blink of an eye, the golden hues of Seigi had now taken on a slightly deeper crimson as she started her assault a second time. Seigi's own pitch-black arms were now more akin to liquid darkness as they solidified into not two, four, six, but eight arms. "Besides, your tentacle schtick really pisses me off. Truly, just a cheap run-of-the-mill dissonant..." With three times more fire power, it was a whole lot easier to rip Szofrit's many limbs apart.

Hue hue hue hue hue hue hue.

Nanami was having fun, for as short-timed as it may be.

Frey Elzeiros · Mar 7, 2023

"Whatcha say, pal?" But the swordsman was faster than his words could leave him, emboldened by a desire both to end the battle and still prove himself as the great hero he saw himself as. Frey had no problem with such things, so long as the gust of wind left in his trail didn't mess with his outfit as it just had. His vision had been total obscured by an array of multi-colored fabrics now glued to his face the moment Schilva took off with another man, leaving him to puzzle out what it was that he had told him to do, or not to do.

Lowering and ironing the wrinkles out of his precious cape by pressing it between his hands, he soon spotted a familiar flash of platinum hair in the distance, wreaking havoc just like when she had first met him. His lips curled upwards, eventually turning to the full bloom of a smile as he momentarily abandoned his petty troubles to rush at her, his loud voice announcing his arrival moments before the collision.

"Heeeeeeeeey, just when I thought you maybe took the day off, but no. Here you are, still kicking ass." Frey's arms instinctively wrapped around @Toko's shoulders, pulling her in for a brief hug as he continued to regale her with compliments.

He grabbed her chin when she became aware of his presence, and he seized his opportunity to plant a kiss on her cheek all while the two laughed at the brief reunion. One of those forceful, loudly exaggerated pecks one would give to family gone unseen for far too long. "You ought to learn to leave a lil' something for the rest to work with, y'know? Ain't fair that way."

As he retreated from her personal space, his gaze fixated in the direction Schilva had escaped in, he gave her a salute with two fingers to his forehead. Just then, thorns and vines began coiling themselves around his limbs, but the imminent pain that should've come from such an attack never arrived.

It wasn't an attack, after all, but an enhancement bestowed upon him by a source he knew not. He batted his arm forward, and the vines extended his reach beyond what it'd normally be, and soon the Faerin found himself delighted at the realization that with this, he could do more.

His Arcanamancy summoned thin platforms out of thin air that hovered high above him, his control over gravity itself keeping them fixated on the spot as he carved himself not a path to run or walk upon, but to fly. The delight made his heart soar as he batted his arm outward, the vines that wrapped themselves around him lashing outward toward said constructs. He took a running start, gaze fixated forward as another light pierced through the sky with the birth of another platform which with to hold himself, and when he became confident of his speed, he both pulled on the vines and jumped as high as his steps would take him.

So he would repeat the process, again and again, while he yelled to the top of his lungs in spite of the brewing storm of blade and corruption ahead, destined to always face what obstacles would come with the brightest smile that he could muster. Maybe, just for show, and for himself most of all, he could even do a pirouette or two as he soared the skies of the battlefield.

As he did the final jump, he landed beside a pair of twins of most peculiar appearance, that of children who didn't belong on the battlefield. His unwavering spirits saw him smile through the scene as he took the vines and ordered them to affix themselves to the twins, so that they may bounce in and out of harm's way if they so pleased by using the same platforms that had carried him there.

The thorns flew out at the approaching sweep of a tentacle, their seize augmented as his own energy copied their shape and unleashed a hail of thorns, effectively stopping its advance.

"Hey, Schilva, I'm here! So what were you sayi-..."

The boy had run back.

The fight had dragged on for too long and the man could feel his limbs start to grow heavier with each passing moment. But one thing was certain: Everyone was giving it their all now. They had all managed to push back the Mother of Machines. But like a cornered beast she had only become more dangerous because of it.

With Hyper Sense Creature's gaze shifted toward Szofrit's new form. In his current state approaching her likely meant certain death. He would just have to do what he could from this distance.

Something else had caught his attention while mulling over what to do. In the heat of battle he could see @Nyx going toe to toe with the monster. How he failed to notice she was here until now was beyond him. But the fact remained that she was one of his only friends in this world.

In each palm Aeromancy Magic coalesced and took shape as lighting. Creature waited unblinkingly. With each strike from the woman's sword a speeding bolt would fly across the field to land in the same spot soon after. It's been some time since Creature last saw her. If they survived this, he really needed to reach out.

@Langley gazed now into the void, and it gazed back. Unblinking, with a knowing smile, welcoming home the wayward child. Who had it traveled with? What had it seen? Had it been eating well? My child. O, my child.

Surrounded by thronging progeny, a mother in her own right, Ludmilla's commanding glare naturally transfixed and cowed that which she had granted the gift of new life; that which had been spared oblivion should thank their new mother for the magnanimity she had shown, for ingrained deep in their being was the common knowledge that she could as easily take away that which she had bestowed.

With a battlecry ringing not so much in the ears but rather thudding through the very veins of those cursed to hear it, Ludmilla moves not from her place as a throne of twisting gore gathers from the slaughter abound, rising beneath and forming a plateau upon which her commanding figure stands.

FOR YOUR M̵̢͝O̴̲̅T̶̊ͅH̷͈͋E̶̲͌R̸̹̄, THY STARVED AND HUNGERING...RIP AND TEAR, DEVOUR IT ALL!

Sweeping a hand forth towards the flailing Szofrit and her wailing Magia retainers, a scent familiar to those touched by corruption erupted from Ludmilla, as a colony's queen would exude her unopposable pheromones. Steeped in the reek of a single-minded, oppressively strong instinct, the hordes of her foul offspring surged in no discernible formation, a horrific assault borne upon a cacophony of mad howls and pained groans.

A cold shiver would run along Langley's arm. Though her gaze never fell upon him, that command...it was, too, for him.

$̶̬̔#̴̞͗*̵̝̅@̵͕̓#̴̝͐%̴̻̏*̷̰͂%̸͙͒@̷̗̃#̷͕͘*̸̤̂@̶͓̀^̷͓̾%̵̗̍@̸̪̽#̵̱̔^̴͚̇$̸̬͆%̴͈̌^̶̤̒&̴͈̅#̴͓̊@̵͔̄#̴͖͗$̶͙̿!!!!

The closest of Szofrit's misfortunate kin, Baby Magnum, had already been cracked and shelled like a helpless crab by the jaws of the Starcalled. Here to finish the job was the tide of gnashing teeth and thronging flesh that crashed upon it mercilessly, seeking the exposed warmth at its core. The instant they latched on, the Magia's fate had been sealed.

Grasping hands and tendrils pulled clambering masses upwards; already broken panels were torn off entirely and plunging claws gutted the delicate mechanisms within, clusters of valuable components turned to useless scrap instantly by vomited acids that predigested even this, the most inedible of creatures. Processors, receptors and locomotion ground to a halt, the gibbering collective ravaging every system it could reach, aiming to reach the highest point of the artillery platform; Baby Magnum's cannon.

Its intimidating size working against it now, the strangled prey could not turn to fire upon nor move to crush the suffocating shroud of Ludmilla's flesh, reduced to helplessly awaiting death as even the once-proud barrel that rained pain and despair upon the Starcalled was thoroughly defiled.
Barnacles in fast-forward, a clinging sheet of uneven meat-moss creeps along, ultimately engulfing the cannon's lip. If Baby Magnum had a voice, one could reasonably assume an agonised scream in the screeching of warping metal as a wad of tumorous tissue invaded first the muzzle, then all the way into the bore.

Π̶̥͒Τ̸̤̿Ώ̶̩Σ̶͚̕Η̴̞̈.̴̨̉
Isn't that right, child?

Of course, it did not, for machines had no mouths with which to scream. In the end, the only thing Baby Magnum could do now was watch silently, compliantly, through its failing sensors, the prescribed end that Ludmilla commanded for it.

There's no backing off now, @Eva. If Tick Tock holds back, we will all die.

Including Tock's wife. Just look how worried poor Kyanna is, already pouring what little strength she got on Tick Tock!

Tock made sure to gesture with both hands over to Kyanna, Mushroom Sword pointed and all. Despite what gaseous blessings the witch granted them, they both knew this would hurt one way or another. That they couldn't promise to come out alive. But what is death to them, who had their head roll and their body smashed into nothing but dust at their weakest? Certainly nothing when at their strongest...

Lock and loaded, Tock. You have the catalyst, yes?

Tick eyes had lost their golden shine prominent from her Evoke, and upon her hands remains an orb. The sum of everything within their personal core, and the very energy that @Magi Heart had granted to their poor little hearts. Even now did it fluctuate, it swirls dangerously around her fingertips. Chaos born to bend to no one, not even it's own unhinged creator.

Tock held it out for Tick, the very Blade that Kyanna offered before. It held hope. Hope to save the Corrupted Savior, help to save the Twins themselves. A weapon created for good, only to be used once and never again.

The orb unraveled itself like a million of straps, it's putrid stench crawling over the fungal sword until it became pitchblack. It reshaped, remolded itself as if a living organism it had become. From dark, to light, to crystal-- And it shattered, leaving only an ethereal self.

An abyssal blade patterned on stars and constellations. And yet despite it's malignant nature, one could find the light like a skeleton within it's corpse:
The Legendary Heroic Sword ✦✦✦✦✦ Evolved into Darkeater Amanita ✦✦✦✦✦

Sooo heavy... Oh! Is our new friend ready?

The pair turned their heads to a nodding @Alcea, who made the task of the 'torchbearer' all the more easy once their feet lost contact with the ground.

Hoho, Seigers is still faster than us!

Tock peered over to the heroine, who grew faster. Stronger. The impulse of a true hero, or something else? No, there's something wicked in her now, a stench that felt similar to that of Pinkie herself. No wonder they both were so close together!

In her distraction, their assault had come cut short. The endless spears struck again and again, each cutting it closer to them the more they approached the Mother of Machines, until the last outburst had caught Tock, bringing down the flying puppet onto the floor who worried not over her broken body, but to keep the Darkeater from touching the floor.

T-TICK!

The crumbling puppet shouted. And her twin responded once gravity returned forcefully, their hands reaching out for one and the other at the maddening sprint Tick took after, only it wasn't to protect her sister-- But to grasp the weapon on her hand.

The light begun to fade, flicker in the face of imminent destruction. Tic. Toc.
Tic.
Toc.
Tic.
Toc.
Chaos crawled over her arm, cracking it further and further with each push she made. Grounded, but not alone, not when @Frey Elzeiros offered an alternative to her feet. Not defying gravity, but harnessing instead in the form of vines to traverse airborne. She should have felt like Seigi right now, if only the heroine was still herself...
Tic.
Toc.

'Is this magical enough for you..?'

Her form begun to spasm against reality, glitching back and forth as if the code itself had become erroneous when it tried to identify the puppet, until the Darkeater Switched Owners. Right as the tip of the cosmos aligned itself for The Mother's bossom.

I warned you.

Rael · Mar 8, 2023

The fleeting magic which until seconds ago had held her aloft slowly landed her next to the comforting visage of Asher, he was overwhelmed where she knew not where to keep her eyes affixed to, figures darting in and out of proximity as their arguing continued. Beyond the dome, their death awaited, undeterred.

"If you would hesitate to make a choice, then allow us to show you the depth of our Master's conviction."

Regardless of allegiances, the Faerin Warrior and Seamstress spoke and bowed in unison to the figure of the King who had just hollered out his orders to advance. Each readied their weapons as the Storyteller turned once more to her friend with a wordless request, one heeded without a moment's hesitation.

I wonder what world first greeted you, and what your hopes for it were.

And though she couldn't feasibly feel so at the moment, she clutched a hand over her heart, feeling the warmth contained within until such a moment came in which she could unleash the emotions held at bay.

As a last farewell, one of the copies of the Seamstress blew a kiss at Inari, now held in safety within the Golden Egg's radius. What the blushing girl wouldn't have foreseen, however, would be the second copy coming around and placing a small peck on her temple, fully glad of her speedy recovery.

It was Hope, wasn't it? Your wish, and your downfall.

Her path was gilded by the guiding stars that drew @Cadmean's motherly gaze to her form, radiance shaped lovely into a protective cocoon that faintly refracted the light that would greet the dawn as she was lowered onto the ground. Her voice, the instrument that carried her will outward to the ones who would fight for it, became enhanced by the trinket still hovering close by, its melody matching the intonation that became Rael's magic.

And if you were sent here, then surely you had wonders to share upon your arrival.

An incantation whispered took the form of the verse of a song, the needles and threads of the Seamstress thrown high into the sky to the warrior who awaited on high, carried by ethereal wings to keep him unbound. He caught the needle and thread, and began to weave himself through each of the monstrous appendages that had spawned out of her corrupted visage.

Stories, dreams, wishes...

Opposite of him, the Seamstress did the same with instruments of her own, the thread infinite and unbreaking as she continued to weave a picture that only Rael could see from somewhere within the murderous crowd that wished to see the Mother of Machines pay her dues.

Warnings, omens, visions of impossible futures...

On the path to Vintergard, she had also made use of the same spell that would now be born of her again. A song channeled through the threads that Warrior and Seamstress coiled tightly around her limbs, her neck. Like tying the strings of a puppet back together, restoring it to its former glory.

I would have it all - if you would share, that is. The good, the bad. The beautiful, the hideous.
All of it.

Rael heaved a small sigh, as her summons returned the threads to her hands, they flared to life with a glow that slowly took directly from the source. The destructive power commanded by the Magia made its way down the threads, where the Storyteller waited patiently even if her body was once again battered by the same blades that had taken her voice.

But I am patient.

She guided such unbidden power to be sealed into her grimoire, effectively draining Szofrit of her will, of her ability, to continue fighting a battle that wouldn't earn either of them their desired outcome. She began to retreat, ever focused on the spell, as if guiding the Mother of Machines to a certain something...

Come now, lay down your weapon. See that not all of your Hope is destroyed.

Her hand would press itself to the protective shell of the Golden Egg.

Fearless, she focused her gaze upward, and met Sozfrit's own.

And if you are to be fateless, I will make a better fate for you.

It had seemed that a lot of the people who were there to drive out the robots from Vintergard were trying to move towards Szofrit to attack her directly, but Bradwynne decided to stay in this area. He knew that if ever they would be driven away, he would need to be on this area so that he could heal them all. But for now, as he was not in a range to heal all of those who just charged towards her, and so he would have nothing to do at the moment.

It was at this moment when he noticed the three minions of Szofrit seemingly encircling them so that the people who charged could not return. One of them, in particular, stood between him and the people that he would expect to return after the battle, and so he should dispatch it as quickly as he could. He then noticed yet another person (@Toko) going for the same thing, as she then fired a ferocious barrage of rocks towards the robot. Seizing this chance, he then moved towards the robot's side, and then, while the robot was busy defending itself from the barrage, Bradwynne then swung his ootachi towards the robot several times, releasing a series of light cutters towards the robot, meaning to destroy it. As he was doing so, some of the residual light leaked from his body, healing him and the woman from some of their injuries.

The Starcalled surpassed their limits and fought for the right to stand in the cold dawn.

They fought together, as one. No one was truly alone in the final moment, a farcry from when they first arrive.

Levi with his sword drawn, directing his summoned edge to protect those confronting Szofrit head-on, including those under his charge. Sarina was at his side, warding off any Ley Spears heading for her beloved commander.

Kiryuu, too, was there. Seemingly jumping from a boiling pot into the fire despite having been rescued by Chad a moment prior. His bayonet was raised, aimed at Szofrit herself.

Meanwhile, @Sean Poteitoku had cleared the way for Chad, who was right up with Szofrit, his hands firm on his sword, the weight of his soul behind his strike.

Feodan had his shield up, covering for those intending on confronting the Mother of Machines head on.

Then, there was Childress, who followed up @Ueno Mizuki's ripping off Szofrit's arm from the elbow down, unsheathing the dissonant flesh and mechanical ligament at the joint. For a fraction of a second, the Beastlord took notice of the faux caenis, just as Childress executed her perfected sword art.

Meanwhile, Accelerator directed attacks from the safety of the Golden Egg. His priority was to extract as much damage from the Starcalled while losing as few of them as possible.

Last was Astor, sparkling valiantly where protections are stripped, as he spurred the sharpest blades forth to execute the king's command to bring the Mother of Machines down to her knees.

@Rael, all you could see was their un-moving mirage, with the colors drained from them like a butchered pig.

Szofrit's HP was zero. Yet, she was moving, ever so slowly and deliberately, within the black and white frame. The trio moved in the same manner, as the Ley Spears slowly repositioned themselves, aiming at the head of each and every single person who had left the vicinity of the Golden Egg.

The status on your UI was blinking amid the jitters, flashing the [Immortal: 1 HP] status after Szofrit's HP enter a freefall.

A magical circle appeared in front of you.

There's only one thing to do.

Rael · Mar 8, 2023

In their final moments, none were left to fend for themselves.

Warcries, rousing speeches, the shouting of orders from those who knew better, or thought they did. Everyone had their minds on the well-being of someone else.

The threads fell from her hands, useless, a part of the wellspring of power that was Szofrit contained, but not nearly enough to dissuade her from her one goal. Words would not reach her. Intent would not reach her. Nothing would, and she let her hand fall back to her side.

Monochrome swathes of paint covered the entire world then, bathing her vision in a collection of stilled portraits of the myriad warriors who had answered the call to arms, the sickening flash of read hovering not far behind aiming to put an end to their misery.

No one moved. No one yelled. Everything was awfully quiet, and still.

In their final moments, none were left to fend for themselves.

Why had she been spared of such kindness?

A magical circle flashed into being all at once in front of her, its source unknown. Her fingers weaved in between the sigils, and her mind was suddenly overcome with the tick-tick-tick of time's passage, burning away at her fingertips with this strange sensation she hadn't the knowledge to put a name to.

Her hand broke away from the strange magic with a soft gasp.

She understood all at once the weight of the lives of others, enemies and allies both, the weight of her own life. All but reduced to the ticking noise of an unseen clock.

And she made a small choice to leave something behind in case of her failure.

She tore paper from her grimoire, wrote initials on a corner, and something within.

If this doesn't work...

I'm sorry, and...

I tried, and...
...
...
...

Thank you.

Knowing you, and your kindness, was a gift.

It slipped from her fingers, its slow descent now prey to the same magic which had taken the color, the life, out of everything else within this space.

Her gaze fell on the advancing quartet of hellish machinery, focusing at last on the leader of the pack that commanded the weapons ready to spell the end of those who hadn't returned to the safety of the Golden Egg. Those who had... What would become of them, when everyone outside had died? Would they flee? Wait, and starve? Continue to fight, and die?

Szofrit was the source. This much, she knew. This much, she had always know.

The source of the weapons aimed at her allies' heads.

The source of the despair wrought upon the land.

The source of the loss and chaos.

Her hand found that magic circle, and she hesitated to touch it but for a moment. Not out of fear, or indecision, though she certainly felt no small amount of the latter. Time was counting down, and she had to select a target amidst the multitude.

And she chose Hope.

Hope in a deranged woman's pleas, that this was not how it was supposed to be.

Hope in Trinity's faith to restore what wasn't, but could be.

Hope that no fateless being could truly exist, and if they did, then it would be her duty to pen them a worthier fate.

Such was the Storyteller's duty.

So she grasped at the sigils and commandeered the energy that flowed through, grasping at the advancing clock. Her hand raised, embedded now into the magic circle, as she took its force for her own and pointed at Szofrit.

The hands of the clock began to turn backwards.

"Now, then... Let's go back, you and I.

Allow me to retell your story. Kinder, this time."

Everyone who was participating in the desperate battle against Szofrit could feel their movements being decelerated to a near-stop as their surroundings turned black and white. However, their minds were unaffected by the deceleration, allowing them to witness what was about to happen next.

The moment Rael plunged her hand into the magic circle, she could hear the sound of clock hands moving along the dial.

She took hold of the magic and began to rewind time. Alas, time was not so easily wielded by mere mortals.

The sensation Rael felt was akin to turning the handle on a submarine door with the immense force of the sea pushing on the other side. It would not budge no matter how much strength or magic she poured into it.

Just as her hand was about to lose its grip, shadowy smoke wafted upwards from her arm like ethereal ribbons, their dark and weightless forms twisting in the surrounding air before they dissipated.

Click.

Rael could finally feel the handle turning. The metaphorical clock hand moved backward.

Click.

The world was rewound.

Szofrit's Immortal status was deactivated and became locked when it activated a second time through the rewind.

Everyone else, except Rael, felt themselves moving backward through the battling sequences they had just gone through. Attacks reversed, buffs retracted, healing reverted, and Ley Spears withdrew from their bodies as they traced their path back up into the sky. Everyone reversed their movement back to where they were before then.

Click.

Szofrit's health repopulated the empty bar as she floated back up to the sky, right after she hid the red egg but before she fully merged with dissonance. There was a chance to save her yet.

Cli-ccc-ck.

Rael could feel the clock-hand flexing under immense duress, as if something was physically preventing her from turning back the clock any further.

Where Rael stood, the ground beneath her opened up into a colossal eye, revealing a white pupil in the shape of a clock face, and marble arms serving as its hands.

The moment the eye appeared, everyone on the battlefield saw a hazy version of themselves spiritually detaching from their time-locked bodies and turning in the direction of the eye. There, they began to age rapidly and fall to the ground as skeletons before a baby emerged from the pile of bones and grew up, only to go through the rapid life cycle yet again, and again, ad infinitum.

< Four minutes have been pilfered from the game. > An inhuman voice could be heard in the dead silence of the monochromatic world.

The eyeball shifted, turning toward Rael where it locked gaze with the time-fiddling elf.

< And who, pray tell, bestowed upon you such mockery of my power? >

< The World will have its recompense. >

Before Rael could even formulate a reply in her head, the longer of the clock arms ticked forward.

Time started moving once more.

In the blink of an eye, all colors and motions returned to the world at once as the surreal spectacle vanished without a trace.

Szofrit, the primary target of the rewind, was floating in the air, but it looked as though she and the area that surrounded her had fractured from the broken time-space. Her limbs entered uncontrollable seizures as they compensated for the sudden loss of the full dissonance embedded in every fiber of her body and soul moments earlier.

Meanwhile, everyone else was displaced from where they were, and only a handful were able to withstand the strain of what they had undergone. (Flavor roll: 100+ Will Save to barely tolerate the sickening strain of the rewind and the eye. Chronomancers automatically succeed. The lower the number from 100, the more you are affected by the sickening and disorienting effects of the strain.)

Astor gasped as soon as he was released from the time-lock. It felt exactly like that time right after they had defeated King Theodore.

“W-what the hell?”

Accelerator, who seemingly shrugged off the effects of the strain shouted his instruction to everyone who was stunned after what had happened.

“Hey! Now is our chance to capture Szofrit alive, stop dawdling, you fools!”

Childress' eyes snapped wide open as she stirred to action while clutching her head, reeling from the strain.

"The attacks are cutting through her defenses, now's the time to end this. Kill her before the idiots get in our way!!!" she roared.

Kiryuu slammed into several of the whistles readying their weapons.

“Dammit all, just wait and see if we can help her. We are not animals!”

Levi was completely unmoving, caught at a crossroad for the decision he needed to make.

On one hand, there was no way he was going to leave such a monster alive. The people would suffer for it. Meanwhile, if Accelerator was right, Szofrit could be a hint for how the UI-lock could go home.

He froze in indecision.

Szofrit, who was the recipient of such immense power was staggered, giving her enemy a short window to carry out their plan. The battle to kill or spare the source of their pain and suffering has begun.

Temporarily stunned

Objectives

Rael has only managed to rewind the game by four minutes (failing her intent to rewind Szofrit back to before she was afflicted by dissonance). The spell turned out to be a lot more powerful than she thought and in reverting Szofrit's complete merger with dissonance, she also rewound the world. At this point in time, Szofrit is still deeply tangled in dissonance, and by the accounts of those in the know, it is not possible to revert dissonance at this time.

(Additional Note)

The crossroad here is for whether to capture and contain Szofrit with the hope of cleansing her dissonance in the future, or terminating her here to not have the risk of a world-boss level enemy break free and cause tremendous amount of destruction again.

Both paths are equally valid and only your character can decide how to shape this story moving forward.

Mechanics

Whether you are pursuing the spare (and in extension, contain) or the kill option, you must pick one of the method below to contribute to the option of your choice.

Anyone who has made at least one post in Phase 2 and has not left the thread ICly or OOCly may participate in this cycle. NPCs who are there will each get their own vote.

Your action must narratively contribute to your option. Example: You use Presence to convince allies to spare and contain Szofrit. You use Guard Arts and Chronomancy to help restrain Szofrit. Or you use Fitness or Slash Weapons and Weapon Arts to put an end to Szofrit (kill).

For this cycle, you will not be rolling. I will be rolling for you in secret and reveal the result at the end of the cycle.

You are free to use Comms thread to persuade others in-character.

However, do not pressure others into making a certain choice or disparage them for their choice. Those who are caught doing this will be heavily infracted.

Masteries Contribution

Max of 2 masteries may be used

(based on Szofrit's mechanics, Attia's death was a certainty, writing from that perspective -Webby)

Will Save 31

There you are. You're okay...

That was her last thought as the point of the spear began to pierce the back of her head. The moment of death just a heartbeat away. She felt the sting even as momentum ground to a halt. Her mind struggling to catch up with the instant of death even as it was warded off by what felt like the cosmos itself. Logic. Rationality. Sanity. Cast away like dust in the wind for the fleeting microsecond that Attia felt that genuine warmth and relief flood through her being. She hadn't even been in a position to help him at all, but that was okay, just the knowing was enough. Why did it feel so good?

Either way, she was going to die here having accomplished nothing. Her hatred exhausted. Her mind already reeling from the act so contrary to her core instincts. She didn't even feel the point sever her life. Why? She should be dead. I should be dead.

The ticking sound of a clock rattled in her skull, she saw things in the billionth of a second that time stood still. She saw her own death, life, rebirth, and death again. She saw the world crumble into dust. She saw paradise burn and grow into new life. She saw herself from the outside, two images transposed over the other. One, a corpse, hanging from Szofrit's spear. The other, alive and well, wings spread with pride.

Then the clock began to wind backwards. The temporal wrongness ripping through her both dead and not existance as the moment of her demise was stopped before it even happened. Or had it happened? She felt herself move in reverse, she felt the screams of rage and the sensation of hate flood back into her. She had finally let go, but now she was forced to feel those things again. It was an agony unlike any she could ever comprehend. Her mind crumbled and rebuilt itself as time tried to return her to how she was. The universe wanted her to feel cold again, but she'd felt the warmth. She screamed as her wings beat in reverse, pulled back to where she started her journey into death.

She jerked to a stop; standing among the other musicians and felt the gaze of a god open up on her. She tried to meet it, but it was too much. Her shattered psyche already struggling to compromise between what was, what could have been, and what is. Then a voice in her head, sepearate from the all encompassing gaze of time, crackled into her shorn thoughts.

F̴̡͓̝͑̊̋ǐ̴͙͇̬̰͓͊͋̉͗n̵̡̬͓̭͚̽͗̅̋a̸͖̣͠ļ̷̼̲̬̍̈́̿l̸̠̙̇͊̐̏͠y̷͑̏̀ͅ

Defenseless, Attia couldn't even feel it as something strange wriggled into her soul, her cracked mind unable to put up an ounce of resistance. Had it always been there? Or was it something alien? When time finally resumed she fell to her knees, heaving and clawing at the dirt. Tears welled in her eyes, the chronomagical feedback hitting her all at once in a deluge of spiritual and mental anguish. System warnings tried to alert her to the danger even as, unbeknownst to her, her body in the real world had begun to convulse.

Make it stop. Make it stop. Make it stop.

I̵̖̕f̷͈̅ ̷̡̍ȳ̴̺õ̶̯u̴̮͂ ̸̽ͅi̷̮̽n̷̜̄s̵̬͑ḭ̷̀s̵̔ͅt̸̟́,̵͍̈́ ̶̣̂d̶̼͠ē̶̳a̸̟̾r̴̭̋i̷̭͌e̸̅ͅ~̴̦̔

The twitching and crying stopped. Stillness. Then movement. The thing that looked like Attia got to her feet and brushed herself off, taking a moment to examine her bloody hands and broken fingers. Her eyes sparkled with delight as menus and status screens appeared around her, ignoring the last of the warning messages. She exhaled with jubilation and looked up at the confused battle that was resuming, a second chance to make a world-shifting choice and a bemused smile stretched across her lips.

"Let the poor thing live, enough is enough dearies," The thing said softly into the chat, adding her voice to a rising chorus as her aura and song spread out around her.
