New Beginning 20: Nize Hats for everyone.

[Zaleramancer]

The shocked stone statue of Angel stares back at the convex crystal.

Scratch desperately attempts another round of Quartz shattering resonances.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

The Wulfs fought the shadow people, and finally just melted into darkness themselves, attempting to grapple them and dominate their minds.

The Penultimate had dealt with similar foes before. He wouldn't give up easily.

[Mik_Hael]

The curtain continued to fall blotting out stars as it covered the planet.

I split into three for a breif instant each facing in a different direction.

I stop firing at the dragon and glance towards the fireball and then the skeleton monster again before spreading my arms apart, "Cut," and snapping my fingers, "Paste. "  Space itself warps as the locations of the univesre itself change, and the multi eyed lion suddenly finds itself in the dragon's ribcage.

"As for you." I form a small circle with the forefinger and thumb of the jester Guantlet, and pull back on imaginary strings with the sword arm. tendrils of darkness pull forth from the guantlet condensing into a tiny pinball sized space of pure nothingness. I aim carefully at Anarchy, and then I let go. The pinball shoots forward inbedding itself in the center of Anarchy. "

I don a pair of sunglasses and hold up a small concave pocket mirror. The light beam twists, funnellinginto the mirror before heading out the other side, at an angle towards the wizard, concentrated a beam the width of a pencil.The other two dissapear leaving the third.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

The crystal lens shatters under the sonic assault, but I manage to change forms before I am once again shattered.

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.....Now let's see if we can't silence that annoying mug."

[The Junkyard Cat]

"So what would you guys need from me?" I ask them all. "Also don't rush to answer cause I'm taking in multiple things at a time. It's confusing as it is already."

[Philote]

"Biome" released a second mountainous sphere to chase after the Stellan, the first desert one dissipating as it missed the Stellan and traveled into the Labyrinth's wall.

"Now, lets try this virus with something more substantial than empty space" I say to the foes in front of me. Collecting the deer skulls created by my new form in front of me, I inject the Labyrinth virus into them. The four skulls expand and join together. The new larger skull grows more intricate by the second, and even the black and green energy it collects seems to update and redevelop itself. The new beam launches against the mirror-like wall.

Morph shifts his liquid metal body to the form of a child "You better make time, I won't be making exceptions for a being that is obviously more than it appears." Morph raises his cannon and five white spheres thunder out.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Matron frowns. she hated it when opponents were invulnerable or near invulnerable. Time to switch strategies, "Release, Lantern Keeper." The lanterns multiply to 216 lanterns and move to surround the area that Matron and Atsuko are fighting. As they do so, the lanterns also start absorbing the heat in the area as well.

The Mage stops with the energy barrage and charges at Gethin, her strength and speed amplified by the markings on her skin and magic. The Priest has the dragon continue attacking Lucasta with its claws.

Tutu moves back and stops to catch her breath quickly while the scimitars occupy Id by attacking him.

As Andrea falls to the ground, a man with an unbuttoned dress shirt, dress shoes, and dress pants coming out from the Academy catches her. He looks at the situation, shaking his head, "And here I thought that I wouldn't see as much combat at the Minerva Academy as I would at the Mars Combat Academy. Guess I was off by a little." He walks out to aid the one in the most trouble: the girl in the tutu.

[Mik_Hael]

How good are you at shuffling a deck of cards?

[The Junkyard Cat]

Average skill with cards why do you ask?

[Mik_Hael]

just keep it in mind for when the curtain falls.

[Zaleramancer]

The shadowy people leap from the darkness, smiling and taunting. They vanished.

Raven moved his wings, and harsh sunlight roared in.

[Zaleramancer]

Scratch sent a solid wave of sound towards Marv, desperate to slow him.

[Zaleramancer]

The Stellan began to glow, and send blasts of plasma towards the Biome.

The mirror wall wavers, as the mirror Rafe holds shows a crack.


With a dismissive wave, the little girl knocks each sphere aside.

"Jessica. It would be wise to release the first seal." She said with a smirk.

The sorceress narrowed her eyes, then reluctantly snapped her fingers. One of the young girl's bracelets vanishes.

Her eyes glow read as she advances for Morph.

[Zaleramancer]

Atsuko attempts to strike the lanterns.

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

"Switch" Say Gethin and Lucasta. They vanish, and reappear in each other's places.

Lucasta charges the Mage, wrapping her blade in dispelling power.

Gethin grows wings and flies upward to dive at the Dragon.


-------

Id speaks, saying a word that roars through the minds of those that hear it. A word of power.

The scimitars are flung away. One of his heads sees the man behind him, it spits acid towards him, while another head reaches for the fallen Tutu.

Ego reaches for his sword, slowly standing. He still seems out of breath.

[Zaleramancer]

There is a flash, and Arieh appears behind the Jester. He seems mildly amused.

The skeletal dragon is only energized by the brief exposure. Galvanized, it charges towards the foes, tearing and rumbling the ground.

Anarchy shakes and shivers. A plaintive call emerges from it. Far off, there is an answer.

The wizard knocks the ray aside with his hand, runes flashing.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

And as the sunlight poured in, the Shadow Wulfs vanished...

Only to return from the Plane of Darkness as a reformed Penultimate.

"Hm...so." The Penultimate put his hands on his hips, "Going for a kill, I see. All right. Two can play that game."

In an instant, he brandishes a large golden warhammer that appears out of nowhere. It gleams in the light of the Sun, looking as new and shiny as the day it was forged. It is indestructible.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

The lanterns move like water to avoid the attack from Atsuko, Matron watches to see if there is any effect on Atsuko from the freezing.

The Mage notes Lucasta coming at her and decides to release her Sooulsword, "Release, Spellbook of Roses." The book changes with a design of roses appearing on its cover. As this occurs, a dozen ordinary black roses appear around the Mage and head towards Lucasta, pointy end first. The dragon roars at Gethin, unable to get at him.

(What happened to Gladiator vs. the Old Woman?)

Tutu puts the blades of the scimitars together to form another forcefield meanwhile the man who had caught Andea lets energy flow from his hand to form a barrier to block the acid and continues walking forward. In his hand forms a katana with a fang patten on its blade, and a hiltguard formed from dragonscales with three rings in it.

[Zaleramancer]

Raven soars away. He's heard of that weapon, and doesn't want to be anywhere near it. The wind from his leaving causing hurricane force gales.

Coyote, still in bestial form, opens his mouth.

[Zaleramancer]

Id begins to roar.

"You think to take me? You think to defeat me?"

His heads spray fire in every direction, at everyone- friend and foe.

--------

Atsuko only seems to slow slightly, however, she glances at her sword, possibly worried about it growing brittle.

Flame bombards the lanterns, as one of Id's flaming breaths hits them.

-----------

Lucasta swipes her sword in a circular pattern, creating light and purifying power that blasts outwards.

Gethin continues his diving assault.

---

Abby drops to the ground, barely avoiding a plume of fire. She gives Id a slightly fearful glance, then sighs.

The ground below her begins to grow cracked, grass growing high then low. Years fall off her like snow from tree branches.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Likewise, the Peultimate opens his mouth in a similar manner to devour said energy.

And then re-release it. Fully converted into antimatter.
