As Sarah runs for cover, a masked figure apprears from behind a curtain, empty sockets staring through the genie.

Standing face to face, the figure slowly removes his ma-

BOO

HA! Gotcha didn't I! Best you thought I was a g-

Glass blinks at the spectral scene before him.

...
...
...
...Tis appears they have far better outfits then me...

He then notices everyone getting into attack positions.

Huh. Wonder why...


A red disk with an certain boss-loving machine's face ingrained on it gets tossed in Xane's direction, it catching the eye of Glass.

Oh I see. ...Heh.

Two arrows fire through the air at the phantom jester as he uses Rally Strength+ and Chitake Bashes Xane.

---

Five loud CLINGS result in 5 Reflux being generated. Reniforce+

The air seems to shift as a dreadful presence enters the room as well. Suddenly, 2 reddish tiles (Wily), 1 purple tile (Space) and 1 cyan tile (Freeze) spin around Xane before crashing into him. Tile Rune (0AP)

The source seems to be to come from a more heavily armored Parutamu, mechanical arms dangling from his back. One of them suddenly shoots out of him, crashing into the celing and emits a red glow. Guardian Arrow Volley

Stache gained a varient: Classic.
Stache got Total Reset!

I’m offering you lot ONE LAST CHANCE to turn away and l-

Footsteps cause Scales to turn around, resulting in him staring down an confident Vat Man.
Excuse me officer, I was wondering if you knew where I could find the firefigh-

In a swift and powerful motion Vat is hoisted upwards by a skewering sword.

...ow

The criminal returns to the scene of the crime.

I beg your pardon?

You are directly responsible for what happened in *REDACTED* City. Confess.

Oh you mean my latest experiment! To think it would be such a massive success as a rubble remover that word would spread this qui-

Disgusting.

What do you mean disgusting?

Criminal behavior mixed with a lack of remorse…
Turning around to face the party, Scales lifts the robot high in the air. Same time, various swords erupt from the ground.

This is the unrepentant greedy rabble you associate yourselves with.

Perfectly legal actually. Filled the permit out and everything.

You think this is a joke?!

I think you should let me go.

A tiny blue light enters Scales’s vision, catching her attention.

...That’s!
Rushing towards the glow, Scales removes her blindhold to confirm that it's none other than Sam.

Are you alright? I thought you…

As Scales and Sam start to chat, scarlet leaves twirl around in the wind. Seems like Fall is here. Meanwhile Vat proceeds to finally get the sword dislodged from him. Covering his acidic wounds, he turns towards the party, noticing the anchors.

Hmm…a perfect time to showcase my new product.

A massive wave of chemicals…swirls around in a small canister. Whatever seems to be in there…is enough to melt the anchors away.

Something starts to flash on the screen, although no one seems to see it.

Now…before we continue with the conclusion of this raid, there are some things I need to address. To start, TTC is far far from dead. Duh. I will say a mixture of school, work, procrastination, other projects, and my screen breaking managed to get thrown into a cooking pot and spat out what you see before you. With this said, I am still sorry to everyone as I honestly know what it’s like to have to wait and wait. It sucks. And it especially sucks knowing that you're responsible for that wait. Trust me. It's no one's fault but my own for that.

---

The Muspell Flames do their work, cooking the two alive for 139 and 441

Scales seems to be hiding his wounds as due to an an calculation error, it seems Dord managed to deal 3170, 3416,and 2617 Damage

---

I’ve had enough of this.

A flaming sword slowly rises from the ground, radiant shine beaming bright as it slashes in the air, forming the phrase חוֹלֵף which swirls around Dord!

As it pops a shield, suddenly, the barriers around Dord start to liquify before shooting like a spear towards Scales! As the flaming sword hovers above Scales, all hell breaks loose as suddenly 7 Plasma Barriers and Blazing Wings are transferred over. Scales became a high-priority target to everyone!

The distinct sound of trumpets can be heard

All the walls you put up, will only trap those around you.

A card flies out of Scales’s hand, landing underneath Nath. Lightining ruptures the sky as it stunlocks the phantom mech in place for 872 Damage.

The Anti Tank also explodes from the attack, inflicting deadly chemicals onto Scales, dealing 130 damage and inflicting Posion!

Though his Curtana Sabre is somewhat damage, he still holds it in a defensive pose, seemly ready to deal with whatever comes his way True Curtana Xounter

TRBF can be seen snoring…
ZZZ
ZZZ
ZZZ

Dord, not Ford, slashes at Scales once more, dealing a reduced 1132 Damage through two slashes…before countering in 2 massive slashes for 2268 Damage. Dord goes down!

As Daisy tries to tackle Scales, he hits her with the butt of his blade, taking 5 damage and dealing 10 Damage to Daisy

Stars crash down on Scales dealing 161 Damage. Scales proceeds to throw his sabre at Starwalker in response, dealing 359 damage!

As he conjures another sabre, the tides comes in slamming 171 Damage!

Evil Robot then unleashes a Split Beam on Scales, the laser hitting him for 100 damage, before the orbs created by the blast hit Scales at once (one hit) for an additional 16 damage. Scales proceeds to strike Evil Robot twice for a total of 232 damage.

Bt Class Changes into a Mage before casting a Ray of Light on TRBF for 48 damage, then unleashes an IMP, dealing 48 more damage to TRBF and 15 damage to Scales, who strikes back at Bt for 30 damage.

Ink Armor comes in to build a Sentry, which fires at TRBF for 2 damage.

shi-Rou becomes relevant again as Anemone switches out, unleashing a White Flash on TRBF for 309 damage.

TB strikes Scales with a Repair Punch, dealing 7 damage and recovering 1335 HP before being struck by Scales for 14 damage.

Black Wargreymon strikes Scales with a Dark Terra Force for 31 damage. Scales tries to strike in response but the Superbug Shield results in the blade bouncing off, surpringly him and breaking his stance.

L00t grants herself and Dord 3 more Plasma Barriers- replacing the ones that Scales stole from Dord- before downing a Gamer’s Elixir.

Thrash Machine activates a Turbo Dodge.

As Untedd steps out, Brickell comes in with Advanced Intel, firing 166 shots and only missing 3, dealing 429 damage.

Nath activates an upgraded Delta Field before unleashing a Bullet Hell on Scales, landing 172 shots for a whopping 17630 damage.

Scales’s fury seems to have reached a boiling point!

The rustling of leaves startles an sleeping TRBF.

Worker decides to Work Hard for this turn, earning 500 Zenny.

Glass blinks as he finally looks around the battlefield, the adrenaline in his veins slowly lowers as he advances towards Steve.

That...was... thy live for these moments. Heh. Impressed you managed to jump like that.
You know...thou reminds me of this one knight and...

Glass pauses as he thinks to himself, eventually grabbing Steve's hand with his nondamaged arm, he helps lift him up.
Hmm (Seems to be alot less people here...wonder where she is)

Glass blinks in surprise, accidently letting go of the sword before grabbing it once again. As the blade swings his way, he ducks, however, a wince of pain flashes on his face as the blade manages to hit the top of his arm, scraping it hard.
With his other hand, he in a surprisingly quick move, eblows the dice head in the face as he grabs the blade itself, dislodging it!

Wraith looks back up at Shade, confused.

What are you talking about?

See…
Smoke starts to rise from the volcano as Shade gets visibly more annoyed, a fist risen above.
This is why I should be in charge of the chair. All three of you, flawed in your own way. Ghost’s tendency to stick to and whine about the past, Guardian’s tendency to only care about the present, abandoning plotlines and lives when he sees fit, and your tendency to hope for a future that could never come, not really caring if the future is doomed or not.

It’s all messed up, all wrong, it’s al-
Kinda almost feel insulted by that lmao. Not even just me, but all three of us. I mean… come on, you know we’re more complicated than that. You act like we’re just one-note characters or somethin.


But I am right, aren't I. Blind faith…in fate.
...Don’t see anything wrong with that. What happens….happens, it all works out, always does.
If you truly believed that, I wouldn’t be here would I?
...

Face it.

Snow starts to swirl around Shade as his voice becomes deeper.
I am the future.
You took too long and now it’s to the point where you're doing more harm than good. Give it up man. Don’t force me to take it from you.
You know I c-

Wraith teleports a few inches above, the mannequin in his place getting hit by a fireball and punctured by a spear. Floating back down he looks at both Radiated Shade and Burning Desire, the three in a deadlock.

So…we got a three way fight going on right now…that right?
BURN…HahahaHAHAHA BURNNNN BURNNNNN BURNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
This is for the future Wraith. A future that I know deep down you want. But unlike you.. I’m gonna take the initiative and make it come true!

(Well this is fun. Locked in a room with a force of nature that hates my guts for being cool and my clone that hates my guts for not losing my cool. *sigh*.)
But what really sucks about this is…much as I hate how he talks and acts like I don’t care just to spite me, much as I hate how much he wants to make everything serious, much as I want to believe how he’s reckless and is only gonna mess things up…
Apart of me…is starting to wonder if he’s right…

As Glass takes a few steps back to regain his balance, he looks in confusion as Steve disappears only at the last second seeing the blade come down like a guillotine. A mix of confidence and survival instincts result in him slashing as hard as he can upwards to strike the blade head-on.

Bad move

Urk…heh…!

A sickening ring cries out from the two blades as due to the sheer power of the swordsmen combined with the thin blade of the Mani Katti, a massive crack runs up along the blade’s edge, but perhaps even more alarming, the tip of Steve’s broadsword is enough to make a small but deep diagonal slash along Glass’s chest.

(D-damn…That…)
(That was my favorite shirt…)

Just as Steve lands, Glass opts to swifty jam his blade forward in a piercing motion aiming for the dice’s shoulder.

---

---

A massive explosion overtakes the area as Radiated Wraith is sent soaring, reeling from the attack before being stabbed with a Burner Blade. A set of crystals leap out from R-Wraith’s hand to deflect the assailant’s other arm, preventing a Dual Burner Blade but not preventing the sound of him coughing from the pierce.

R.Wraith suddenly teleports behind Burning Desire, hitting him with a face full of freezing crystals as the pyromaniac turns around…only for a massive black shuriken of ice to lodge into Desire’s back.

You were aiming that at me?!
I knew you’d dodge.
BURNNNN

Both the crystals and the shuriken instantly evaporate as another miniature explosion radiates from BD, this time failing to knock Wraith back as a wave of cold crystals overtake his body, giving the reaper a blue shade.

Think you aught to chill out.

Taking a big huff, he spews a large amount of ice at BD, somewhat slowing him down but not enough to stop Desire from grabbing him and teleports both himself and Wraith…straight into the volcano. Instantly, the volcano erupts once more, this time blue flames spewing from the surface and along with it a blue Desire, heading straight for Shade.

Firing an onslaught of Black Freeze Crackers, the discs manage to make BD lose control, sending him straight into an open fist ready to perform a Ground-Pound Punch. Just before it collides however, a hole opens up within Desire, making the punch go through! In the amount of time that it takes for Shade to make a surprised face, two Burner Blades pierce his sides and try to connect in an attempt to cut him in half.

HAHAHAHAHA! Big mistake pal.

Clenching his fist that is through BD, a massive double-sided spear materializes. Rapidly rotating his hand, he hastily pulls it back through the hole, forcing the spear to go through Desire and cut him up like a turbine! With him heavily stunned, Shade’s able to plunge the spear into what remains of Desire’s torso before hastily backhanding him with the same hand into the ground.

As a scream comes from Desire before seemingly turning to smoke, Shade looks down at his wounds and starts making crystals to attempt to repair it.

Suddenly, FF1 Fanfare plays from behind Shade as Wraith can be seen dancing next to a speaker box, torso and arms somewhat chared and blackened but slowly changing into its usual bright hue.

Radiated Shade snaps his fingers, breaking the speaker box. Wraith stops dancing soon after and just stares at him for a good few seconds before speaking.

...You know…I know you're supposed to be my deepest darkest desires given groovy form or whatever…but I’m pretty sure I’m not secretly wanting to be this much of a mood-killer.

You know he’s not dead.

Welp…gotta celebrate the victories you can you know…

And what do you do when you're faced with the inevitable defeat? Just gonna pose on your friend's graves?

...

You know…I thought you’ve learned from the other two. A shame really.

Still asleep, TRBF rolls over to a nearby tree and brushes a hand on it. In an instance, the tree take on a scarlet hue, its leaves matching as well.

Evil Tree stood around!

Starwalker, TB, and Loot suffered from An Attack Debuff, a Speed Debuff, and another Attack Debuff respecably.

---

...Still, I recongize the admirablity in your actions as well...all of yours...course, just because something appears right dosen't mean it always is. You could very well opt to run away like that coward did but, alas, you opt to face your punishment head on, confident you'll get away scot-free in this manner.
...Really are just like him...

Starstorm is primed to go off next turn!
Forces of Nature (2/4)

BT Auto Attack 15 Turns
Dord Plasma Barriers(6), Blazing Wings
TRBF Muspell Flames (27)
Scales Muspell Flames (27)

The Muspell Flames smoulders Scales and TRBF for 923 and 441 Damage respectably.

You don't have to stay yet choose to by default. That makes you a willing accomplice, so don't change the story to suit you cur. My enemy isn't any one of you, but this pact you'll all made. I will break it.

Pointing a finger forward, Scales starts the assault by lining up Starwalker, Bt1229, Evil Robot, Untedd and a protected Worker before hitting all of them for 286 Damage 241 Damage 319 Damage and 571 Damage.

A click erupts from his Buster as he fires at Anemone, pelting her as she falls for 1274 Damage. Scale’s stats increased!
Overkill leaves Anemone with 1150 HP when she wakes up.

Facing towards Untedd, a triangle based slash slices up the undead reaper for 1227 Damage, dealing massive Overkill damage!
Overkill leaves Untedd with -1598, resulting in after this turn for the reaper to be unable to attack for two turns, even after healing 1000HP from being “revived”.


I bet you’ll really like this move. …It’s yours ;)
TRBF opts to use Giga Hyper Fan Replication Device on Falling Blades then on Delta Field before spinning a glowing ball around his finger before dunking an defenseless Nath for 650 Damage...is what should’ve happened had Nath not put up a defensive counter, dealing 324 Damage instead.

TRBF suddenly spins around and slaps…Scales?! for 84 Damage, damaging Scale’s Curtana Sabre. Scales slowly looks over towards TRBF, who opts to display an laughing emote on his monitor.

Nath is about fired up as an possessed phantom could be as Attack mode is used! Max Extensions!

Scales gives Nath a strange glance before chuckling to himself, taking on a somewhat different stance in the process.
I’m sure you two would’ve been good friends. But alas, all wars come to end, with the justified coming out on to-

Dord proceeds to get helped by a reshielded LOOT, who proceeds to have their attack and speed SKYROCKET! from an Radiant Seal.

The wind itself is torn in half as Dord deliver painful Laceration after Laceration, dealing 737, 960, 1183, 1407, 1630, 1853, 2077, 2300, 2523, and 2746 Damage. Still standing, Scales is covered in slashes and marks, yet unwavering…until the final laceration deals 2970 Damage, tearing a thin strip within the blindfold. Instantly a burst of blinding light leaks from the cut, being quickly covered as Scales puts a hand over it.

Not a bad shot...


Daisy tries to put TRBF to sleep with a Daisy Blossom…and is successful!

Life Dew was spread amongst the party!

---

Starwalker healed for 220HP
Evil Robot healed for full HP!
Loot healed for full HP!
BT1229 healed for full HP!

---

Evil Robot charges up a powerful Split Beam!

---

Anemone rises, although damaged.
TB opts to steal the attack buffs of Scales, leaving him with one debuff and TB two attack buffs!

Following an Auto Attack that hits Scales for 22 Damage, BT1229 opts to Unbalance Scales with a successful two slash strike for 44 Damage! Although somewhat torn, the blindfold still provides immunity against Stun.

---

Scales suddenly looks over to the sound of the barking, not saying a word but still staring at it for a second before snapping out of it.

---

Black Wargreymon lets out a cry as a War Blaster hits TRBF for 99 Damage!
Laser Mech opts to fire a multitude of shots at the monitor in sleep mode, dealing 108 Damage!

Worker gained 4000z before restoring all allies!

Anemone healed for 430HP!

---

Per the rules of Overkill, Tedd can be left on the field for a turn to charge HP or another unit can be brought in for 0AP.

PhareNath became Depressed at the thought of all the calculations to take place due to her power boost. (Price of Power). Laser Buster empowers an Charged Tri-Energy Shot. Nath’s defense skyrocketed from R-Bits.

An monolith appears behind Scales, a wave of rage being met with a 240 Damage Evil Aura and a 836 Damage Tri-Energy Shot, the blindfold protecting from any status effects. Three massive laser blasts are fired one after another at Scales, piercing its chest for 8856 Damage!

---

As the final laser hits Scales, a shine starts to radiate from the wounds. As Scales’ multiplier reaches 13, it seems that his stats have increased, although not nearly to the extent they should be. Raising an hand in the air, a blinding blade suddenly appears, the shine finally waking up TRBF.

Your Excuses. Mean. Nothing. I commend you for standing up for the innocent, for destroying those monsters. I condemn you for doing it for your own vices, your own purposes. I comdem you for not just said innocent souls being affected by your reckelessness, not just for the past, but for taking the life of one I hold dear, for laying harm to a coinbearer. Only a handful of souls are worthy of that coin, an testament to their service to preventing injustice and a personal promise to come to their aid during times of trouble.

You have made me broken that promise. …That won’t be forgiven.

Scales gained 1AP!

Gah you're boring. You know that Nuru had this whole speech prepared right? It was the coolest thing about how he would tell the party that *static*

...A-And hey…I see how you’re all bullying up on me…that’s not very nice you know >:( You’d think after my second time of using this that you’d realize it’s not that good of an idea to bump up the multiplier too high you know ;). For all you new guys, just wait till I get to x30! :)

Ichor Anchors attached themselves to everyone’s feet.

Untedd received a speed debuff.

The Delta Field faded…

TRBF Muspell Flames (29)
Scales Muspell Flames (29)

P.Reggae sets up a Speed Curse, which carries over through his spiritual possession of Nath!
A soulless stare greets the party.

4 Circles of flame surround Scales and TRBF! As the first of them hit Scale for 299 Damage and smoulders TRBF for 722 Damage, Ulfrvetr is cast thrice. Due to the Opposing Forces modifier, Ulfrvetr his Scales twice for a total of 464 Damage and 510 Damage to TRBF. Accuracy drops affect the enemy parties!

Despite the freezing winds of Ulfrvetr and the blindfold blocking his vision, Scales feels their way towards their intended target, managing to slice into Anemone for 1063 Damage before the beam blade blasts Black Wargreymon with a Curtana Screamer…missing the initial attack but still hitting BT1229 for 292 Damage and popping one of Loot’s shields.

Scales faces the possessed Nath, seemingly staring through him.

I am Justice given form in steel and spirit. Regardless of what world you commit your crimes, it is all eventually brought to the light.

Despite having zero difference, due to the modifier, three sets of Hadal Smokers hit Scales all at once for 3622 Damage! and sending TRBF high in the air for an astounding 4528 Damage.

TRBF’s multiplier was raised to 19! Something that he uses to his advantage as he casts a Multiplier Madness at P.Nath, missing entirely and cursing his speed!

I-how?!
Grumbling to himself, he looks over to the cause of him missing…
Hmm…you seem to really like giving out gifts Loot…here’s one of my own!

With a whistling sound, a massive box bonks LOOT in the head, destroying every single plasma shield, before exploding! 318 Damage was taken!

As TRBF is about to celebrate, Evil Robot Directional Dashes into him for 90 Damage

Cloud energizes Starwalker, who charges a PK Starstorm and wraps himself in a cloak of angelic feathers. As the lighting leaves his fingertips, he plops Untedd onto the field.

Cowardance won’t hide you from me.

Scales goes to pursue but is hit by a Chromatic Mortar, bombaring the officer for 81 Damage.

Heaven’s light shines down on TRBF as a super effective 344 damage hits him, as every single one of the attacks hit.
That’s what you call a super-effective attack? HA Why I…why are there more…
Due to Delta Field…every…single…attack hits…and due to Divine Showdown…more attacks will appear if all hit.

…
10 minutes later
…

TRBF is lying on the floor as the final bit of shinedown hits, it marking an awesome 8600 Damage and leaving him with the power of a paper tiger. Due to the sheer power of the attacks, it was more than enough to KO him, thereby reverting his stat debuffs.

BT activates Auto Attack, lasting 16 turns. The first strike whams an still down TRBF for 19 Damage

zzz…zzz…

Superbug Shield protects BlackWarGreymon and Worker, who opts to work very hard.

Meanwhile, Daisy causes crystals to puncture both the ground and TRBF for 58 Damage, leaving him a prime candidate against an 61 Damage Dramon Killer.

Thrash Machine radiates a powerful aura! Laser Aura

TRBF runs up to where Nuru once stood and pats the ground, trying to look for something, anything of him.

He’s…gone…
The red mist departs as TRBF lies crouched staring into the abyss, completely unmoving. A loud crack sounds out follow by the roar of motors and TRBF’s voice as he spins round at superhuman speed.

WHICH ONE OF YOU DID THIS!?!?

A silence overcomes the party as TRBF gets more and more visibly upset.

WELL?! WHO DID IT

A vibrant and blinding light appears in front of TRBF, giving way to a golden figure cloaked in glowing shadows.

Someone summoned me here. Hmm…none of you bear the mark of the scale nor claim a Coin of Temperance. Could it be perhaps…

The figure’s posture shifts a bit before becoming more upright.

So it’s you.

The ones that help butcher the town they were meant to save. The ones that raided the temple long ago. The ones that let evil run rampant and a-muk when it fits you. And for those that newly join your group, so too do they become tainted.

Trumpets blare high as Scales pulls out a hilt high in the air. Pointing it at the party, a massive laser springs to life.

You are all tainted accomplices. And with the bearer of the Coin of Temperance unseen, it can only be judged that they were one of your victims. The last one you’ll ever claim.
The crimes you lot have committed warrants the highest of punishm-

SO IT WAS YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Out of my way annoying nat.

With one simple Flick, TRBF is sent flying into a wall on the opposite side of the field, dealing 6500 damage! TRBF slowly gets back up, popping an Extra Life in the process, it seems that he still seems damaged. An image of a bomb going off splashes on his monitor before steam shoots out of the side of his head.

Scales…simply does not care.

Offering mercy to a lawbreaker like him is further proof of your sins. His antics have cost lives, yet you keep him around.

...Lives?

The golden shadow departs, and the hour of judgement is at hand.

The people cry out for vengeance and blood, and I will be the sword that claims it!

Forces of Nature (4/4)
Safeguard (3/3)
Dord Plasma Barriers(6), Blazing Wings
Loot Plasma Barriers (10)

Let’s start by…softening you all up.
Incantations escape his lips as anchors drag at your feet.

Phantom Reggae becomes even more ghostly as a fake-out is deployed.
Loot Brave Strikes herself, Dord, and Nath, quadrupling AP. Both Loot and Dord have gained 10x Plasma Barriers.

Forces of Nature rocks the battlefield!

Ford F1-50 makes ELEVEN Falling Blades.

Nuru cocks his head at the Brave Strike, silently chuckling to himself.

That ol trick?

Cloud jolts some energy into Nath! +1AP

A Thrash Machine falls from the heavens Titanfall style. As the debris and smoke clears…a nozzle can be seen.
   Cracking its head, it’s revealed to be Laser!

TRBF thinks to himself before copying Ichor Anchors. Afterwards, he gulps before firing on Dord.
As the first of 5 successful shots hits Dord, down come the blades, 11 hitting him for 1200 total damage.

A smile can be seen on TRBF’s monitor as the multiplier goes up, allowing him access to a new move with 0AP. As four shots manage to pop 4 layers on Dord, TRBF proceeds to run up to Evil Robot, and with a fiery backhand SLAPS him, knocking the Eight Deathmatch right out of him. Backhand Slap, RD

Steam comes from the evil robot as, with his main weapon disarmed, uses Nightmare Stars, dealing 52 damage!

A Safeguard got deployed by Anemone, protecting the party from ailments!
God Birddddd was charged.

A loud achoo hits TRBF, instantly causing a ice bag to appear over his head and 8 damage to hit the machine. TRBF was infected!

With annoying acceleration Phantom Reggae uses Phantom Mockery!

Black Wargreymon slams into TRBF with a powerful 52 damaging Black Tetra Force!

Still sneezing, TRBF looks through Nitron P’s wares, a loud sneeze dealing 1 damage to himself.

You *sniff* know, you got a lot of really really cool stuff! I bet *sniff* if we were to go to business together after I beat up the murder hobos we’d really *achoo*! *sniff* T-thank you.
TRBF seems satisfied, giving 4500z to Nitron P.

As he turns around, he is instantly smacked hard by a 115 Damage Laser Buster. Shaking it off he tries to smack Nath but suddenly…
A faint hint of hyper-focused music starts blaring from TRBF as he tries to dodge 206 BULLETS. He cannot dodge 206 bullets, let alone one due to the field and his poor Touhou skills.

The first 66 bullets hit for a total of 4950 damage! The next shot does only 37 due to it being the last blow to take out TRBF…until an Extra Life pops, somewhat restoring his defense. Only for the bullets to do a clean 6200 more damage. TRBF gets back up again, blinking before ONCE again 1217’s worth of damage hits TRBF.

The anchors by everyone’s feet start to whisper dark thoughts.
Anemone suffered a defense debuff!

TRBF stays down for a bit, shaking his head and coughs. Staring straight upwards, he sees a small glimmer.

Hehehe…what an excellent display of bloodsport no? Even managed to get my attention a bit, and that’s on the first turn. I see a few…mistakes that costed this hunk of junk box a lack of scratches hey… but I think by the time we're done, we’re all gonna have lots of-WATCH OUT!

As the heroes leave the portal, The Raid Boss Fan is there to greet them, a smile so bright and beaming it manages to be seen through the red mist clouding the area.

I hope you all had fun…wherever you went. Cause…
Taking one step forward, a few members of the party recognize the form TRBF now possesses.
I think it’s our turn.

A thick sense of dread seems to hang in the air as a red X slowly comes into view, a low-pitch spine chilling voice leaving no doubt to the imagination

This…is gonna be BEAUTIFUL

That's right! It's the one...the onlyyyyyyyyyyyyyy *cough* Um...sorry...

The shrouded figure looks back for a second, giving TRBF a raised eyebrow before looking back.

*ahem* GIVVVVEEEE IIITTTTT UPPPPP FOOOOORRRRRRR....


A wave of explosions, trumpets, and cheers echo from TRBF, each of them bass boosted to the max. Nuru…patiently waits until it finally stops.

So...it's you lot that Master Vangus wants me to...send...his regards. I will admit, your struggles, your suffering, your stubbornness...it was most certainly an interesting…show… to watch hehehehe. In fact, it makes me want to send you a little something too. A gift I only give out to those I deem worthy of it.

Thousands of needles fly high above the monstrous machine.

An end to your suffering.

A thick smog covers the field, making Nuru difficult to see through it save for a red eye. He seems to be in different places to each hero...Nuru can’t be targeted/affected by anything for this round!

(Eeeeee! This is gonna be great! This is that special skill I've heard about! Swift Red Miasma! Oooh it makes me wonder just what skill he’ll choose nex-
...Wait...if Nuru can't be targeted...then...that leav-...uh oh.)

TRBF seems to of stockpiled on Extra Lives this turn! Feel free to fire away without worry! For this turn, TRBF seems to be directly connected to the multiplier!

Through enclosed windows, TRBF can be typing away on himself and on another keyboard connected to a massive machine. A spark of red electrcity flies out as the fan bot furiously slams the keys, literal smoke coming from his monitor before-

*DING*

Pizza! Evil Pizza!

Taking a massive bite, suddenly TRBF is supercharged and in flash it is done, the ultimate project.

Now let's see who the next raid boss is!

With one last click, the computer comes to life. Code begins to flood the screen as it slowly morphs into a face. Then another at a hastened pace. In a flash, hundreds upon hundreds of multiple faces appear before finally morphin into...

A red X...I think I know who it's gonna be! No way no way no way!

And with this little device now better than ever along with all these new toys I've made, I'm really gonna show them the support they deserve!

A manical Eeeeeeeeeeeeee! echoes through the dungeon as TRBF holds a red disk high in the air.

As the residents leave to find a better place, Vat Man can be seen standing above a lone tower looking down at the destruction, beside him a few mixers and slicers. Putting a hand to his chin, he looks away deep in thought.
Experiment 2592# Green Sea…completed. Results…
a stunning success! The chemical compound easily managed to bind to H20 and duplicate itself, even in motion. And the effects resulted in the breakdown of bonds *CHINK* of steel alloys an-

So lost in his observation, it takes him a few seconds to realize that some small object had hit him in the back of the head. Turning around, his eyes first dart to the object, a pebble, then to the thrower, a teary-eyed child.

Y-you broke my home and now mommy and daddy...I-I…
Vat Man takes a step forward, the boom of his step frightening the boy to the point of him being locked in place. Getting closer and closer to the child, Vat Man gives an unchanged expression, eyes seemingly boring into the poor kid. Now standing right in front of him, the child can only help but whimper.
...Hmm…let me take a look at you.
Leaning down, Vat Man gives a curious glance at the boy, checking his arms and legs.

...Hmm yep, that confirms it. No injuries.

Before the child could react, with one swift motion, Vat Man lifts the child up in the air, causing him to scream for a second before suddenly being spun around.
Ah children. Little troublemakers like you are the hope of our future you know. One day my dear child, I hope you’ll understand what has happened here and be proud that you indirectly were apart of history! Now tell me boy…what job does your parental u-
Vat is interrupted by the boy crying again, failing to hide his tears.
...Hmm…perhaps if we find your creator…no…doctor…no no that’s not right…your… your parents! (Maybe that could find what’s wrong.) What’s your name?

Still sobbing, he manages to get the name Sam out in between tears.
Welp come on then, hold on tight. We’re gonna find your parents!

Suddenly, the child is swung onto his back, holding onto the large glass tube. With little time, Vat Man books it down the stairs, Sam holding on tight. Perhaps it was the funny tube man’s statement or just how bumpy and fun the ride was but bit by bit, a small smile returned to the child’s face, the first one in a long while. It was enough for the boy to not notice as a small coin fell from his pocket. Sliding down a crack, the coin falls down lower and lower before smacking on the floor. Landing on heads, [/i]the massive star on it begins to glow blue.[/i]

Meanwhile, groups of pirates in hazard suits begin going through the rubble looking for anything of value. As one lifts a pearl necklace from an untouched drawer, strange chattering sounds begin to radiate from his headset. Through nodding and grumbles, the pirate calls to the others before retreating in a haste, a look of grief on one of their faces.

TRBF is nowhere to be seen amidst the people.

A.Claw Beams into Quick Reload (0AP) into A.Claw Beams finally into GAC Overdrive for Pirate

Wicked Whirlpool on Provil 2x and one Chemoshock on him after.

Vat Man starts the show by opting to Neutralizing Spray Beta Diablo, Redevil, and against his better judgement (cause I have to fire the third shot somewhere) Worker.
Downing a W-Tank, his chemicals suddenly start to vibrate rapidly. From behind the enemy party, a low rumbling gives way to a massive wave of chemicals, seeping and searing buildings and cars in its wake, an sea of melted meta leaves the battlefield a destructive mess.
The Green Sea was used. All enemy combatants were contaimated.
In an attempt to divert the floodwaters, an Acid Wall is raised to prevent the allied party from being hit.
With his last 4 AP, he downs another W-Tank before hitting 3 Chemoshocks on Beta Diablo (or Provil if somehow defeated).

---

As two other Pirates fall, a third one shows up, its two rockets hitting jack squat. Both because of the Brave Strike and a fit of rage, the Pirate attempts to fire two more missiles, both with Frozen and Lock-on at Mevil, gaining an additional +1ATK and SPD.
A third Regineered Concussion Missile hits Bassevil, Freezing him in place!

With his fourth AP, he opts to scream loudly as suddenly he unleashes an Artificial Claw Beam on Redevil. ATK, SPD goes up again!

With a loud click, Pirate uses a free AP to Quick Reload, restoring 30WE.


Admist the chaos of battle PIRATE opts to Loot and Sabotage! Bevalo is unable to concentrate due to his Kamaeaha being disabled!

3 AP remaining, he uses Pirate's Scythe+ on Redevil once and Bevalo(or Provil) twice.
