New Beginning 20: Nize Hats for everyone.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 The Penultimate began to ripple with psychic power, "Did I hear you correctly?" A smirk crossed his face, "Okay."

Raven and Coyote began to glow with an orangey-yellow aura. The Penultimate attuned his perceptions to the neutrinos that flowed through space in his immediate vicinity, and prepared to amplify those neutrinos to blow the two out of the sky.

[Zaleramancer]

Coyote attempted to shake the strange aura off, waving his arm slowly.

Raven, however, began a more direct tactic. He swelled and changed, becoming a dark gorilla. His huge arms pumped downwards, striking at the Penultimate.

[Philote]

Morph's satellite begins collecting energy again but this time a portal opens up allowing Morph to travel from Aeon's surface. Morph and I then set out through the halls of the growing Labyrinth making our way towards whichever foe we can gain access too.

The new figure, "Biome", a woman with long golden hair and trails of clouds circling around her, closes in on the Stellan through the Labyrinth. She can see the creature through the clear, space-created, walls, and when she gains a clear shot, she forms a brown sphere in her hand a launches it forward.

Biome Blast: Desert.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Matron continues watching the attack pattern to see if the opening appears on a regular basis. If it doesn't, then Matron attacks to take advantage of the opening, but if it does, then she ratchets the fighting speed up to the next level.

The Mage notes that the swords have no immediate noticeable effect on the gargoyle and forms a barrier to hold it back while forming blast after blast to take down the gargoyle's creator first.

Andrea responds by teleporting behind both Gethin and Lucasta as they move to change opponents. She then attempts to teleport a needle into Lucasta's leg and another needle into Gethin's head as the Priest recites part of Revelations again forming a dragon from the soil with seven heads and ten horns with ten crowns. The dragon moves to attack Lucasta.

The Gladiator has his gladii return to him and arranges them in a defensive position trying to listen for any noise his opponent makes.

The Glutton returns to his refrigerator Soulsword, opens its door, and starts rummaging through it before pulling out pieces of an AK47 and starts putting it together. When finished he puts in ammunition and starts firing at Abby.

Tutu moves back and cries out, "Release, Dancer of Blades!" The scimitars multiply to 6, 4 floating around her and 2 in her hands. The floating swords move to deal with the heads and Tutu runs at a much higher speed than before to attack Ego.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Before Raven could reach the Penultimate, the Penultimate teleported behind he and Coyote within a psionic blast shield, and then amplified the energy within the passing neutrinos, hoping his newfound foes would bear the brunt of the energy attack.

[Mik_Hael]

The mannequin's joints popped and the bones made a cracking sound as if breaking as it's entire body twisted to avoid the blow narrowly, flipping into the air and splitting into two coppies of itself., The first set off a large explosion behind it's foot to add propulsive force to a kick aimed towards the head of the silver haired woman, as the other continued to barage Anarchy with seeds of destruction, several however, seem to miss their mark.


(I saw the blow from behind comming, but I assumed it would be a sword....)

[Zaleramancer]

The sudden surge threw Raven several hundred miles backwards, making a tiny and rapidly falling speck in the distance.

However, Coyote didn't appear to have even felt the attack. He turned towards the Penultimate and smiled. A flick of his hand sent an enormous amount of force towards his foe.

Spider darted through where Raven was falling, attempting to catch him before he crashed.

[Zaleramancer]

The Stellan slowed slightly, wondering what this attack would do.

Her leading bolt brought Jess to Rafe, who was busy healing Celia. Just as they turned to talk, they saw Philote down the hallway.

The little girl continued her walk.

[Zaleramancer]

The opening appears briefly, obviously a momentary lapse in a that particular pattern.

---------

Robbie's last, furious blast of magic is blindly bright as it clashes with the Mage's spells. He disappears from sight, and the Gargoyle crumbles.


----

Both Gethin and Lucasta smile slightly, as a surge of their power arcs between them scattering the needles. Andrea lies right along the path of the zap.

Lucasta continues into a leaping attack, removing a dragon head with her sword.

-----

Nothing happens to the Gladiator.

----------

Abby raises an eyebrow.

"Guns, now?"

With a sigh, she sends her cane hurdling towards him, then pulls out the traditional weapon for elder women. A huge and heavy looking purse.

Abby smiles as she spins the purse like a miniature air-plane propeller.

----------

Ego, still feeling rather weak, only crouches there. Id moves swiftly, snapping his tale towards Tutu.

Then, Ego's Sword leaps from his hands to intercept the incoming blades.

"So, you decided to join us?" Id rasps.

[Zaleramancer]

The woman's staff seems to absorb the blow without trouble. Her hand glows as it sends a blast of holy energy towards the mannequin.

Meanwhile, Anarchy begins to stiffen itself to the attacks, and sends a violent wave of twisting space towards the mannequins.

Arieh seizes the chance to launch into a diving attack towards whichever foe shows an opening.

[Philote]

The Biome Blast was the force of the desert embodied as energy. Deserts grew on its brown form and sank bank into the energy of the sphere as it traveled towards the Stellan.

As I near the three, I activate an Overdrive that matches the form I am in, "Nature's Shadow." Four deer skulls form from the shadows and hang around me, each one appears to be damaged in some unique way. In each of the skull's mouths, a black and green ball of energy forms before being fired out as a laser.

Morph closes in on the little girl, his liquid metal arm shifting into a five barreled cannon and his satellite saucer hanging behind his back.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Matron moves to attack the weak spot the next time it appears.

Her opponent gone, the Mage starts firing mana blasts at Gethin as Andrea is hit by the arc of power and goes flying. Simultaneously, the Priest has his dragon construct swipe its claws at Lucasta.

The Gladiator, realizing that his opponent is gone, moves to aid the Glutton with his fight. The Glutton gets bonked on the head with the purse and sits down dizzily.

Tutu is knocked back by the tail, but gets back up quickly wiping some blood from her mouth before charging right back at Ego. Her 4 floating scimitars continue to attack Id.

[The Junkyard Cat]

"Hey whats going on?" Popping in suddenly. "Oh am I interrupting something." Feeling a bit confused of current events and a bit out of place at the moment

[Mik_Hael]

 The holy energy collides with the mannequin, but is absorbed by the seven seals...they begin to glow blue and spin rappdily ever increasing in speed as the lines connecting them waver and shake. The mannequins black form bursts into blue flames as it grows six wings and a sword of fire. "....Crack"

The second mannequin ceases firing and begins rotating rappidly clocwise. It becomes lifted into the air and turned on it's side as it draws the corrupted space into itself forming a vortex, before stopping suddenly frozen in place. The attack from Arieh comes from above, just before it hits, the mannequin snaps it fingers. The shots that missed, didn't really miss, they were just redirected, into a large sphere, set to go off around the Anarchy and the mannequin, hundreds set to go off at a moments notice.   "Bang."

[Zaleramancer]

The Stellan spindled and stretched, growing hollow and transparent where the biome approached.

Jess tried panickedly to move her Bolt to block, but it wasn't strong enough yet.

Then a large mirror-like wall appeared between them and the fight. Rafe half-crouched, holding a bronze mirror high.


---

"I.. Do not at all have time for this." She continued towards Jess.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

The Penultimate looked at Coyote, his face twisting into disgust.

"I can ignore attacks, too, ya know." He said, tumbling with the force of the attack, and casting it harshly aside, "Coyote...meet Wulf."

The Penultimate's form began to ripple with some strange inner darkness; the darkness of space obscured by his own, his eyes glowed red, and a howl stretched and entwined throughout the depths of space, despite breaking a couple laws of physics.

The hair on the Penultimate's body grew longer and his features stretched, dilated, rippled, warped, to become more lupine. He hunched over, and his arms became forelegs. His nose and mouth became a snout, and his teeth and nails became fangs and claws. Finally, he stretched and rippled more until his stature rivaled that of Fenrisulfr.

Wulf was always a fun form for the Penultimate to assume, and it showed. His fangs dripping, he bared his fangs into what almost looked like a smile. A sound erupted from his body that sounded at first like the lupine being was growling, but then it became apparent...the sound had originated from his stomach.

Wulf hadn't eaten in ages, and now was as good a time as any. He lunged for the first being he saw...and this Coyote fellow looked good enough to eat.

[Zaleramancer]

As the opening emerges, Matron's sword finds it's mark. Atsuko falls to the ground, sword dropped before her.

Then she stands, quite unharmed.

"This body is quite indestructible. Feel free to try again."

She raised her sword before her.

---------------------

Gethin responds with a bolt of crackling dark energy, it seems to eagerly eat at the other attacks.

Lucasta brings her sword before her, parrying and dodging with ease.

------

Once again, Abby moves in for a purse-bash, aimed at Gladiator this time.

--------

Id breathes a toxic smog towards the swiftly moving Tutu, before pausing to swat at the darting scimitars.

Once again, The Sword hovers in the air- battle-ready.  

[Zaleramancer]

Anarchy is blasted back, his form temporarily dismissed.

The woman darts backwards, silver hair flowing wildly. She begins to raise the staff above her and shake it like a ceremonial rain-stick. A string of guttural words falls from her lips.

Finally, the Elderly Arch-Mage wades into battle. Hundreds of offensive spells crackle from his arms, flowing off his hands in a wave of death and destruction.

Arieh is sent flying, though he slowly manages to stabilize himself.

[Zaleramancer]

Coyote's eyes narrowed

He did not like wolves.

He dived down, his own form changing. It rippled, growing hairy.

He became his name-sake, grown to titanic scale.

The Coyote snarled as it lunged for the Wulf.

[Mik_Hael]

The holy mannequin raises its free hand and snaps his fingers, all of the air surrounding it and the woman flows away, leaving a vacuum. It begins to advance drawing a cross of flames in the air as it approaches.

The second mannequin allowed itself to be whipped back and forth by the waves of destruciton resulting in it being thrust high into the air above. "Crick" It's neck jerks it's head into the direction of the oncomming spells from the Archmage. It rights itself in mid air and claspes it's hands together forcibly with a loud resounding crack of thunder, as it pulls them apart space rips open into a large void, which it dissapears into, leaving behind a large portal which the spells are sucked into. Several small portals open up facing the ground and the spells rain downward towards Anarchy and Arieh. The space behihnd the Arch mage jerks and folds back to reveal the mannequin, with it's forefinger and thumb positioned in the shape of a hand gun pointed at the back of the Spellcaster's head.
