Travis issues his next order... or tries to. Nothing leaves his throat as he speaks, causing the dolls and commander to sit there in silence for a few tense moments. With a quick look back, Wyonna realizes the problem and takes the reigns under Travis can speak again.

Wyonna orders the machine guns to fire once again.

Travis fires his machine guns, hitting Icarax six times, the Rahi Nui three times, and the Trespasser Tyrannosaurus once!  The Trespasser Tyrannosaurus takes 6 damage!  The Rahi Nui takes 18 damage!  The bullets bounce harmlessly off Icarax!

 

Icarax lashes out with his sword at The Makuta!  Tsubasa intercepts the attack with Sky-Splitting Flash.  Tsubasa takes 27 damage from the sword cut as it batters through her defenses and slices into her forearm!

 

The Makuta activates his Mask of Shadows, shrouding Tsubasa in a veil of darkness!  Tsubasa will easily dodge the next attack aimed at her this round, and actions she makes this round cannot be countered or parried!

 

The Rahi Nui charges! 

 

But Cell redirects its charge into a tree...

 

Tsubasa concentrates on the Kanohi Vahi!  The ancient and unimaginably powerful forces of the mask flow through her without disruption, shaped by her desire to help her allies.  The party's timestream is warped!  The party is no longer Silenced!  Travis is no longer suffering from Reality Acid!

 

Tsubasa has unlocked an action using the Great Mask of Time:

 

The Kanohi Vahi:  This orange-red mask covers the lower half of your face with wide-spread wings of metal.  It hums with ancient power and promise.  Better not break it...

Special Property: Don't Overthink It -  When using the Vahi, actions associated with it have a cooldown equal to the user's intelligence - 2.  For every round of cooldown that the Vahi's actions have, there's a 10% chance for the user to lose control after using an action with the Vahi.  The user gets a +20% chance to lose control unless they have an Empty Mind technique or similar skill.  In this case, a Bad Thing happens (decided by the GM).

Special Property: Elemental Mask - The Vahi can grant access to item-locked tricks and actions that involve time manipulation and may only be used while it is worn.  In exchange for requiring the Vahi to be worn (which does nothing on its own), and being restricted to time-based effects, these tricks and actions are slightly more powerful than usual.

 

Timeline Shift (Trick, Item-Locked):  The power of the Great Mask of Time allows you to erase the ailments your allies suffer from out of existence entirely, altering past events to prevent them from having happened.  Any effects that already happened remain as a sort of cosmic detritus.  Try not to think about it too hard.

-Level 1:  The ally suffering from the most debuffs is cleansed of all debuffs.  Then all allies suffering from debuffs of the same name are also cleansed of those debuffs.  It's almost like they never happened at all.  This action can only be used while wearing the Kanohi Vahi.

 

Icarax, frustrated by Tsubasa, thrusts his sword at her!  Thanks to the Makuta's darkness shroud, Tsubasa easily dodges it!

 

Hikari makes a very angry slash at the Trespasser Tyrannosaurus, dealing 60 damage!

 

Icarax, now more than slightly ABSOLUTELY LIVID, attempts to stab Tsubasa again!  The tip of his sword bites deep, dealing 10 damage!  Tsubasa is bleeding heavily!

 

Cicivexa uses Thundaga on the Rahi Nui, dealing 3 damage and inflicting Thunderstruck for three rounds!  The Rahi Nui roars in surprise as an elemental energy it doesn't have any defenses against arcs across its skin!

 

The Rahi Nui's furious roar echoes across the battlefield!  Cell flinches!  Dackly flinches!  Edmond flinches!  Cicivexa gets a free attack from Thunderstruck next round!

 

An answering roar echoes faintly across the skies...

 

Edmond has flinched!  Edmond has two actions...  Edmond's single use of Stress Test drops the Trespasser Tyrannosaurus like a rock!  Edmond loses 6 HP...

 

Dackly has turned the Trespasser Tyrannosaurus into a Plushie Tyrannosaurus!  It has a big head, and little arms.  Its red and blue feathers are quite fetching.

 

The Possessed Rahi Nui attempts to warp the battlefield further!  ...But the web site where the warp terrain encounter table is hosted has gone down, so nothing happens.

 

Tsubasa bleed 7 HP!

Cell whips around as the Rahi Nui bounces off his shield, letting his blade drag along its side as it charges.

 

Pausing for a moment he takes in Tsubasa trading blows with Icarax.  A short gesture later he summons an aura of whipping razor sharp winds.

 

(Free action) Cell counterattacks the Rahi Nui for 8d6+16 damage.

 

Cell uses Aura of Laceration on himself, Tsubasa, and Edmond granting each 5 DR/all and 5 thorns vs melee for four rounds.

"Teridax. That magic, use it again." Any worry she had about the dark power slid off her mind, focused as she was on the battle ahead. She saw the path forward, a path for her to flow naturally into victory - all she had to do was provide enough power. Taking a deep breath, she rushed Icarax, throwing a powerful and almost unnaturally quick shoulder tackle at her towering biomechanical foe. Then, almost as if it were the same movement, her hand darted to her blade.

 

Fourth Form on Icarax, then use Reaction to attack with First Form for 2*(4d6+27) damage!

Yin: 0 -> 1

Yang: 2 -> 3

Well, things seemed to be going quite well. No time to get overconfident though!

 

Use Quick Tune Up (2d6+12) to heal Tsubasa, activate Gambit (-13 HP (Preemptory bracing decreased)), and use Stress Testing (2d8+12 and increase damage of next hit on same enemy by 25%) on Rahi Nui. Edmond autoheals for 10% MHP (7). 4 physical damage reduction, 8 against bullets.

With his voice suddenly restored and his ability to order similarly regained, Travis looks over the status of his tank a pleased smile cracking across his face. With a chuckle he orders his crew to put the firing solutions they'd been working on to use.

 Sanada seemed unnaturally comfortable with the aid of a sinister deiform she had supposedly attempted to kill... he nearly suspected treachery again, before recalling that her mind was much too asinine for such machinations to have been possible. Still, the party could use a reminder of what hadn't stopped being an enemy of every soul on this star...

 

Cicivexa uses mtIocJY.png Manaward! The next two attacks targeting Cicivexa do not damage him!

 

Under the effects of Sky-Splitting Flash and Manaward, the Fruits of Hubris are ignored!

 

Cicivexa uses 1SpKtNI.png Swiftcast to cast lBJux0A.png Flare I on Icarax and the Rahi-Nui (and the Makuta, if and only if Sky-Splitting Flash is no longer active by Cicivexa's turn), dealing 5d6 + 16 + 4 + 2 Fire damage to all targets! Cicivexa gains Astra for 1 Turn! Umbra's duration lowers by 1!

 

Cicivexa consumes Nnf4tJz.pngThundercloud to attack the Rahi-Nui, dealing (5d6 + 16 + 4) + 6 Lightning damage!

"Hey, Icky!  If you're so strong, then take this!" Dackly shouts, drawing a spear and challenging Icarax to use it!

 

  Quote

 

Nyx's Starlight Spear; "Redeeming Darkness": (Blue Art, Dackly, Gaze)

Dackly focuses on Feelings of Honor and Glory, Creating a Spear of Cold Black Shade infused with starlight.

A target afflicted by this is equipped with a weapon able to deal 1d6+Stat damage, and is obligated to use it instead of their normal weapons for at least 3 turns.

 

If a target is defeated after having been afflicted by this, they are defeated honorably, and lose faith in their chances of winning a fight to the death. Enemies are considered helpless in this state.
If Dackly and Gozer are defeated, the weapon's usage is no longer compulsory.

Level 2: The weapon created by this ability deals 10d4+Stat to other targets who are also wielding a weapon made by this skill.

Gozer uses Silver Bullet on the Rahi Nui, firing a pellet of silvery metal at it!
 

  Quote

Silver Bullet (Gozer)

The user fires a pellet of Silver Ore at an enemy.

The user deals 1d6+Int Damage as a free action with first strike. If the enemy is traditionally weak to silver, they instead take 5d6+Int Damage.

Travis fires his main cannon!  Icarax deflects the shell with his sword!  ...Straight into the Rahi Nui's side, causing it to take 57 damage.

 

Icarax takes a swing at the Makuta, but Tsubasa blocks it, taking 19 damage.

 

The Makuta fills Tsubasa with righteous fury!

 

The Rahi Nui roars into the sky.

 

...In the distance, another roar answers.  The Rahi Nui seems surprised that any creature would dare challenge it...

 

Cell counterattacks the Rahi Nui for 46 damage, and surrounds himself, Tsubasa, and Edmond with his Aura of Laceration!

 

Tsubasa shoulder checks Icarax, which doesn't seem to phase him, and then slashes at him with her sword!  Icarax goes for the parry, but his sword is out of position from parrying the tank shell!  Icarax screams as Tsubasa's light-infused sword cuts deep into his armor, dealing 188 damage!  Dark energy streams from the rents in his armor, and the Makuta chuckles in schadenfreude.  "Oh, it is entertaining to see that happen to someone else."

 

Icarax responds to this by throwing another cut at Tsubasa, dealing 22 damage, as he curses her under his breath, and himself for underestimating her.

 

Hikari slashes the Rahi Nui for 24 damage.

 

Icarax forfeits this action since he used his parry!

 

Cicivexa uses Flare 1, dealing 38 fire damage to Icarax, the Rahi Nui, and the Makuta.  "Are you blind or just a terrible shot?" The Makuta asks indignantly.

 

The Rahi Nui lowers its head at Cell.

 

Edmond uses Quick Tune-UP on Tsubasa!  Tsubasa is no longer mechanical...  Edmond Stress Tests the Rahi Nui for 20 damage!  Edmond loses 6 total HP to his assorted effects.

 

Dackly offers Icarax a spear!  "Yes, thank you, the extra reach will be useful against that blasted light sword," Icarax growls, tossing his blade aside and taking up the Starlight Spear.  Gozer takes the chance to bounce a silver bullet off the Rahi Nui, doing almost nothing...

 

From the sky, an unpleasantly familiar screech comes in a streak of sulfurous, furious orange, and explosions wrack the Rahi Nui!  Wings buzzing, the possessed monster rears up, roaring as it chambers a devastating punch!

 

TURF WAR:  BAZELGEUSE VS RAHI NUI!

 No. No no no no no no no no no. Gods no. Not again. Dear Twelve not again. No! Not again!

 

Calm down. You're protected. You're prepared. You're safe. Nothing in the world- nay, the multiverse can hurt you, at least right now. Now of all times is not the time to panic. Panic and you risk losing the chances ahead.

 

Cicivexa, recognizing the Makuta's seeming unawareness of (or perhaps apathy for) his assault, cleared his mind and pressed his luck.

 

Under the effect of Manaward, the Fruits of Hubris are, somehow, ignored!

 

Cicivexa uses IJDJT2R.png Sharpcast, and casts lBJux0A.png Flare III on Icarax, Rahi-Nui, and the Makuta, a critical hit dealing (7d6 + 16 + 4)*2 Fire damage to all targets! Cicivexa gains Astra for 1 Turn! Umbra's duration lowers by 1!

As the Bazelgeuse lands with thundering applaud Cell reaches into the burlap sack on his belt once more, pulling out a simple bluish sphere with a ring on one side.  He pulls the ring with his opposite hand and a light *chink* and throws the grenade towards the space between the Rahi Nui and Icarax.  It detonates with almost more of a pop than a boom.

 

Cell uses Infantry Grenade targeting the Rahi Nui and Icarax for 16 damage each.

"OH. Uhm. . . Sorry." It was a terribly embarrassing moment to bring out a soldering iron, pliers, and numerous other mechanical tools, only too look down and realize that the person he was treating was in fact made of flesh. Well then. It seemed that those whom Edmond could assist were in no need of it, so he focused his attention on the ongoing territorial dispute.

 

Edmond uses Individual Air Support on the Bazelgeuse, launching a burst of suppressive fire at the next thing to attack it, dealing  2d8+12 damage and stunning. 5 turn cooldown. Edmond autoheals for 10% MHP (7). 4 physical damage reduction, 8 against bullets.

Tsubasa blinked. A stinging on her eye was all-too-familiar; a trail of red had forged its way down the left side of her face, coming from a cut she'd narrowly avoided higher up. Focus. The swordswoman took a deep breath, brushing away her perception of the burning lines on her body. Defensive stance. Her blade pulled back in a smooth motion, aimed to deflect another incoming strike. Pivot. Using the momentum from the previous attacks she'd endured and turning it about, she planted one foot forward. Flow. The blade flicked forward, as if it had been wreathed in lightning itself, and carried the Slayer with it.

Cicivexa fires his spell, Tsubasa takes her mighty cut...  Icarax is still standing, if barely, sparks flying as his Starlight Spear grinds against Tsubasa's blade, too late to stop it from cutting deep into his shoulder.

 

Then Gozer thrusts his own Starlight Spear.  Icarax's weapon flies up...  And comes down, spearing him through the foot.  He looks down at his foot, up at Gozer in utter disbelief.

 

Meanwhile a storm of explosions, flames, and bullets force the Rahi Nui's arms apart.  Wasting no time, Bazelgeuse body-slams the trespasser-possessed creature, smashing it into paste in a titanic explosion.  Driven by canny instinct to not try to eat the tainted amalgamation, Bazelgeuse takes off, flying away to parts unknown.

 

The Makuta busts out laughing at Icarax's plight.  He can barely focus enough to bring shadow manacles around the rebellious makuta's wrists and ankles.  "I can't believe that happened!  Oh, I will treasure this memory for ages to come."

 

"I can't believe I stabbed myself...  I'm better than this..."  Icarax murmurs to himself in shock, "I am better than this, right?"

 

"No, you aren't," The Makuta gestures again, and a square frame shapes itself from a nearby rock, "But you'll have plenty of time to regret what you've done in here.  Killing is so... final, don't you think?  I do dislike wasting a possible asset, so in you go."  With a flick of his wrist, Icarax is thrust into the frame, and stays there, a chained painting making two-dimensional but still definitely alive and mobile struggles against his bonds.  "Do try to regret what you've done, Icarax," He sighs, "Omnicide serves no one's interests.  Least of all yours, if you'd stopped to think about it for a moment.

 

"Now then," He turns to the party, and with a gesture, a circular portal, crackling with dark, ruddy energy that drifts like ink suspended in water appears, "This should, if my calculations are correct, take you back to your castle.  And I know my calculations are correct that it is well past time you returned there."
