That silence stretched out for a long moment as Nader sort of... stared... back at Lucine awkwardly. To his surprise, looking at her didn't exactly bring on crushing waves of guilt. It did bring on a hell of an urge to be careful, but... well, he had expected to feel worse about now, and it just wasn't coming up. Lost in thought for a moment, Nader realized that on some level... he actually felt like he was even? He let out a long sigh, although it turned out more rumbling than he'd intended thanks to his new body. It seemed kind of sick to him that he considered it that way -- paying a soul for a child-killing and settling accounts that way -- but he didn't really want to actively try to send himself into a spiral of guilt. "Hello, Lucine." There was another moment of awkward silence here. "And... if you're wondering about my mental state, I'm doing much better. Being..." Another rumbling sigh. "Being separated from my body seems to have removed me from the worst of whatever my illness is, and I suppose that separation is going to be permanent. To tell the truth, I'm not really sure if I'll keep being this lucid, but I am right now, at least." 

 

Nader let the silence last for a few moments. "...good job on getting everyone free, though. That was half of the reason I gave up my soul in the first place. I felt like it wasn't right to have all of these people just... stuck down here, trapped. So using me and the other Souls to let them all finally go was exactly what needed to happen. You helped a lot of people escape something very terrible, there." He shrugged, squaring himself a little. "I'm sorry to drop something so heavy on you, Lucine, but... what's Asgore's status? I talked to him when he took my soul -- he felt that he had to die for monsters to be able to be free, since he felt that he ought to be held responsible for everything."

Arminius internally curses, wishing he had a notebook or something to write down that revelation. If he could possibly cure mental ailments simply by severing physical ties, why not other people? And... Well, that can wait until later. In the meantime, Arminius silently walks back into New Home, both to give the two some privacy and also to inform Asgore of his success.

"You can go ask him yourself, if you want. He's 'helping' his wife bake." The inflection on the word was subtle, but impossible to miss. Her cheery tone turned to one that was a touch more serious as she continued. The whole incident left her with a mix of emotions that she wasn't entirely certain how to untangle. Guilt about what had happened to Nader, but relief that he was back. Happiness that they'd freed the denizens of the underground without losing anyone in the end, but regret that she wasn't able to use anything but her abilities as a vessel to help. "I, um. . . I think everything is okay, now." She took a couple steps closer to Nader, looking down and away awkwardly once more. "I'm sorry about everything that happened."

Proditor

 

"Understood" was all that came from the alien as Proditor focused on the Guard Armor. Knowing that it was six separate entities was good information. It gave them weaknesses, once that could be exploited. However, although he could theoretically cripple the beast, he opted to wait, allowing the Guard Armor to show its habits and movement before he struck. Instead, he simply lifted a hand, firing a lance of psionic energy at the Heartless' leg. A test, nothing more, nothing less.

 

Proditor uses Psionic Lance, sending a bolt of energy straight into the Guard Armor's Left Leg, dealing 3d6+10 damage.

Nader let out a heavy sigh at Lucine's words. "You don't need to apologize for me very nearly killing you, Lucine." It did sting a little to word it that bluntly, but he could think of little to do but address the subject directly. "None of that would have happened if I hadn't been slinging guns around ready to shoot like I had been. I wasn't in my right mind, but... well, I suppose that there's still a lesson there to learn. And the lesson certainly isn't that you should feel guilty about it... you've been doing the best you could in situations you really shouldn't have to be in in the first place. The lesson is just that I should be more careful, and I will, so you won't have to worry about me in the future, okay? I swear that I will never repeat what happened in those tunnels." He slapped his chest with a clawed fist, to emphasize the vow.

"Oh for...  Don't let that slow you down, Jun!  Keep fighting!"  Rachel uses Triage!  Rachel uses Chirugeon's Treatment on Jun, curing her stun and giving her immunity to the next status ailment to afflict her.  Rachel designates Guard Armor as her Orange Mode Target.

 

Rachel uses Battle Hymn of the Imperium!  Rachel starts singing!  "Our hopes are built on nothing less!  Than the Emperor's blood and righteousness!"  All allies who hear her get 1d6+7 temporary HP until Rachel stops singing, or the temporary HP is depleted by incoming damage (roll once and apply the value to all allies).

Shaking her head slightly to get right back into the game, Jun takes up her sword again, and holds out her gauntleted hand at the guard armor looming over the battle, attempting to distrupt it's concentration from afar, before he charges in once more to try and slice more of its limbs into tiny ribbons.

 

Action 1: Jun uses C.H.O.K.E. System on Guard Armor, making an Intelligence vs (Essence-2) roll to see if she succeeds in stunning it.

Action 2: Jun attacks Guard Armor Right Arm with her plasma blade, dealing 4d6+(Dex*1.2) damage, and triggering her extra attack passive to slash at it again, also triggering ambush hunter to deal 4d6+(Dex*1.2)+4d4 damage.

Action 3: Jun attacks Guard Armor Right Leg with her plasma blade if it is still intact, switching to Guard Armor Right Arm if it's already down by her third action, or left arm if right arm is down too.

Action 4: Jun uses I need healing on Ignia to give them an immediate out of turn move to pop a Cure on Jun.

Lucine looked for a moment like she was going to reject Nader's words. She relented, though, apparently accepting that it wasn't actually her fault. Not completely, anyway. "Okay." Her voice came up slightly as she continued. "You owe me something big, though." She almost insisted that she be allowed to fire the Horsekiller, but recent events had left her rather less willing to approach and handle the thing. "Like. . . ice cream, or something. Lots of ice cream." The girl frowned, looking up slightly in thought. "Or maybe you can hit Opal for me. I still haven't really figured out why she's. . . like that." Her gaze refocused ahead. "Anyway, do you wanna go see Asgore now?"

Ignia grits her teeth at the sight, that was never good when they went and did things like reversing or twisting themselves up.

"It reversed itself...that uhh....it'll probably be fine....just keep attacking it!"


Ignia uses Strike Raid on both arms, hitting each once for 13 damage.

Before Ignia can attack, or anyone else can properly react, a second Guard Armor falls from the sky, smashing into the first one and scattering chunks of armor everywhere!

 

The pile of armor rattles in confusion and disarray on the ground, as if one were complaining to the other, asking why it were late.

 

With terrifying slowness, the two piles of armor rise up into the air...

CLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANG!!!

 

The armor pieces slam together, two legs, four arms, and a second pair of legs that slot just underneath the first set of arms!

 

Ignia can sense the darkness in the air as the amalgam of armor pieces begins summoning yet more Heartless to it, swirling portals of darkness ripping open to spit out even more of the bastards, each new Heartless wielding a nasty looking weapon, or even BEING a nasty looking weapon.

With a single squeeze from each of its hands, this giant armor suit kills the heartless that are wielding weapons, and grabs the ones that simply are weapons, until it is fully equipped.

 

The two Guard Armor Heads spin around each other at incredible speeds, suffused in purple fire.

With a loud creak, both of their visors open like eyelids, each one revealing a single yellow eye.

 

Undyne takes a step back.  "And just what the hell is this thing?!"

Ignia reals back as the second armor drops in and begins merging with the first.  She looks one in horror as it equips itself the the remains of other Heartless.

"THAT'S NEW."

 

Ignia uses Cure on her lowest HP ally for 1d4+20 as half of her action.

Rachel continues to sing, transitioning into a new hymn as she uses Feel No Pain to give Jun two stacks of Guts, and designates the Genji Armor as the target of her Orange damage reduction.  "A mighty fortress is our Emperor, a bulwark never failing!  A helper He amid the sea of heresies unfailing!"

Proditor

 

Though Proditor was merely hovering where he was in a misty form, the alien took in the Heartless' new form. Truly, the creature did function as a hive of entities, each adding on their own strengths while ironing out each other's weakness. An effective strategy for normally weak creatures, but with one noticeable flaw: It grouped them all together. A weakness Proditor was well suited to exploit.

 

Due to a temporary lack of a physical body, Proditor did not need to spend time opening his helmet or gesturing at his target. Instead a vortex of psionic energy suddenly appeared around the Genji Armor, offering just enough time for the alien's allies to notice and back off before it collapsed on top of the Heartless.

 

Proditor drops a Rift upon the Genji Armor, dealing 3d8+24 damage. Additionally, Proditor also forces a check against his Int*1.5 (36) vs their essence, inflicting a 50% miss chance for 1 turn if they fail.

Arminius, thinks for a bit before shrugging to himself and informing the Dreemurrs that he'll be around The Core, before going to apologize to Alphys as well as inform her of the success of his own project before requesting help with something a touch safer while he waits for Nader to be prepared.

Arminius walks over, mostly just looking at the list to get an idea of what he'd be looking for later, before clearing his throat. "Uh, Sorry for how I acted earlier... I uh, have problems with delaying things that are important to me even if it'd probably be better to do so.... That said, it worked and he's back and quite pleased with his new form. He'll uh, probably need some time to readjust to corporeality so if you'd be willing, I have a project I was working on that should require less dangerous measures."

Arminius nods. He scratches his chin, and idly wonders if he should shave for a moment before speaking again after a look around. "Alright. You have anything I could scoop some lava with around here? The heat should help me pump a touch more power into the fragments and make them more willing to bond together."

Arminius thinks for a few moments before shrugging. "Probably. Humans and lava don't mix that well and I'm not sure about how fireproof Sindragosa is. Besides, I had a flash of inspiration on how to improve even more on it and I figure I could use the help if it goes ever so slightly off track... Speaking of, I need to plug this in." Arminius grabs the Star Cannon he'd been keeping slung across his back just in case and sets it on the table. "It should work on just magical energy if what those stars were made of were what I thought... Actually, should need a battery.... Still, you got something kicking around to power this?"

Alphys pulls what appears to be an ordinary looking extension cord out of a box, plugging it into the wall socket.

 

"This will probably work," she says, stripping the end of the cord with some wirecutters to reveal the cabling, which sparks with yellow magic.
