(You sure it's impossible for you to focus on two thing at the same time?)

Phantasm goes for a Laser Trident, whilst Shired uses Shadow Blade!

---

Cardboard Phantasm suddenly fires a Break Laser!

Phantasm dodges the fists, and counters with a Gemini Laser! Shired deploys a Water Shield!

---

Cardboard Phantasm completely ignores the Nightmare Divide since the Star Crash was ignored! He then goes for a Ring Boomerang!

Phantasm suddenly fires a Break Laser at Inary MP!
Shired then follows up with a Needle Cannon!

---

Cardboard Phantasm suddenly launches a Star Crash at Nightmare Colonel!

*  Forgetting something, soldier? Other than your loalty, of course.

---

*Just pretend Cardboard Phantasm always looked like this, alright?

However, only HALF of the damage was transferred to Phantasm!

  Pseudoreaper magic.

Cardboard Phantasm then uses Defense Cosmology on himself, raising his Defense 3 stages!

---

Move Name: Defense Cosmology
Type: Space/Defense
Description: A forbidden Space ability. Raises the user's Defense by 3 stages, or the Defense of all allies by 3 stages.

Actually it was used on INARY, because they were simply At the next spot Curtiss was planning to retreat to. The Cardboard Phantasm then comes to life and grabs Nightmare Colonel!

  YOU think you can use the "no matter what you say or do" card on ME? I. Am a PSEUDOREAPER. AND YOU AND YOUR BUDDY, ARE MERE CHARACTERS. I. OUTRANK. YOU. BOTH.

Cardboard Phantasm then uses a point-blank Centaur Flash, dealing a TON of damage!

  But if you REALLY want to fight me that badly, then you can square off against this CARDBOARD CUTOUT. KAY? KAY.

@RedBomber : (Pretty sure absorbing is how affinities WORK.)

Actually, just because they excell in Attack and Defense respectively doesn't make them slow. In fact, they BOTH end up at the exact spot Nightmare Curtiss was running away to!

  Sorry, but you're NOT allowed to be a coward anymore. You started this fight, so you gotta see it through now.

Phantasm uses Speed Chaos, lowering Inary's speed by three stages! Shired uses Star Crash!


Also, the Phantasm that Nightmare Colonel used Cross Divide on turns into a cardboard cutout of Phantasm.

However, that's not how Affinites work, as Phantasm dodges AGAIN and uses Astro Crush to attack BOTH enemies! Sicne Phantasm's Attack stat is much higher then that of Shired's, it does MUCH more damage!

  First of all, you have no say in this. Second, my name isn't "boy".

Shired then uses Rising Cutter on Inary MP!

(Seriously, who are you SO INTENT on turning this into a power struggle.)

Sorry, but that's only the ONE stage. Also, adapting one's plot is the name of the game, ya know. Phantasm dodges the beam saber easily, and hits the attacker with a Thunder Beam, whilst Shired fires a Shield Shot at Inary MP!

  No u.

...Only to be intercepted by a Break Laser!

  I don't think so.

Shired then throws a Metal Blade at Inary MP!

Alright, now we just gotta hit him until he either dies, or Updog arrives!

---

Move Name: Break Laser
Type: Laser
Description: The user shoots a maroon laser at the target, dealing damage and harshly lowering the target's defense!

However, as this isn't Battle Network, Shired's defense only goes down by one stage instead, as Shired creates a MASSIVE Jewel Satellite, easily blocking the Nightmare Fire!

The attacks still hit somehow because you REALLY should have specified BEFOREHAND! Shired EASILY tanks the rest of them!

Gee, sure is a lot of Updog vulnerability going on in here!

  TANKU OIRU DA!

Trimarc easily eliminates half the Nightmare Zeros and Nightmare Xs by throwing another Oil Tanker! Shired catches the boomerangs and fists easily, and throws them back at the Nightmare Army whilst mising in some Shield Shots!

HAH! Updog's only going to have an EASIER time against THIS!

However, as Trimarc was out of range, the attack missed!

Just so you know, the more time you waste, the sooner Updog will arrive and kick your es off the map.

However, Trimarc dodges just in time to go and grab another Oil Tanker, and Shired takes even LESS damage from the attack, and is still standing!

I JUST boasted about my nigh-impervious defenses, idiot.

Shired then easily blows Inary MP back with another Air Twister!

Suddenly, a massive Air Twister surrounds the Godkarmachine O Inary MP, dealing damage! At around the same time, a Metal Press falls RIGHT on top of Nightmare Curtiss!

Wow, a recolor of an existing character. I don't exactly have much room to judge here, but I'm sure THAT hasn't been done to death.
  

Lemme make something clear; You're up against the wall, AND I AM THE FING WALL!

Whoever the did that is now OFFICALLY on my "to noscope" list!

Trimarc pulls out a Rawkit Lawnchair and fires Rawkits at the blue shine!

  Eh, I'm staying here. Don't want to leave the lab defenseless.

---

Trimarc switches it up, and channels a TNT Yeeter, and starts yeeting TNT at the hordes of bigger enemies!

---

(RECAP)

Item Name: TNT
Type: Explode
Description: The kind of thing you make Creepers into after you kill 'em. At least, when you're not using them for Splash Potions.

Rotom and his clones are still guarding!

---

Trimarc starts firing more Rawkits at more enemies!

Hey, lookie here! My dispenser's back! Not soire if I'm a fan of the lime green, though.
  

  Hey, quit turning my art supplies into tsukumogami, you weightless piece of sh-
Oh please, I was only planning on bringing six back to life.
  Hah, you REALLY suck at counting! There's only FOUR of your pals here!

Suddenly, rumbling footsteps can be heard, shaking the hideout!

You really shouldn't jump to conclusions.

The rumbing gets closer, as the source is slowly revealed; a giant humanoid made of rubber bands!

The lead actor has ARRIVED, gentlemen! Now let's get this show on the road, I say!
  

  .....
  PFFFFTAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHHHH!
HEY! Just what do you think you're laughing at!?
  Heehheh..! You look like a freakin' YARM GOLEM!
Well, I'm ACTUALLY the glorious Fitzroy O. Rubber Band!
  Sounds WAY too overcomplicated, I'm just gonna call you Yarnsworth!
Can someone who's supposedly made of yarn star in MULTIPLE high-quality theater presentations?
  Oooh, let me guess, their titles are "Yarnman 10", "Yarn Barn '97", "Crazy Desert Yarn", and "Yarn Trucks: Over the Road Knitting", and they all SUCK!
  THAT'S IT!

Rubber Band EX absolutely SPAMS Rubber Bind on Seija before the latter has any time to dodge, preventing her from being able to move!

  NNRRRGGH!? The hell's this stuff MADE out of!?
  RUBBER, obviously!
  Whatever, you still suck at acting, and that's still only FIVE peop-

Suddenly, something tackles Seija, causing her to fall on her side!

ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF
  

Stapler EX starts stapling Seija to the ground over and over!

[ S S A F P A F F A B A B F B S F F A B P A P P D D D S F F F!!]{speed_shadow}

Stapler EX runs out of staples. Olly floats over and pets Stapler EX.

Good boy, Pascal.
Alright, then. Now, if we're done here... I believe we have business to attend to.
