Divine Intervention [Conquest AT]

Crotona was not focused on the outside right now, she was focused on playing her Ocarina. Hoping and praying she be able to stop Pankaa for fully falling into the corruption that was placed upon him by Phakk. But it didn’t seem to be working. Pankaa seemed to be falling regardless of what she was doing. She played harder, trying to make the tones more soothing to his mind. But as she was focused on that, an ear piercing noise stopped her. The sound cut her off from playing the notes as she could only watch as Pankaa attacked Nero and forced the two fighters to disengage to another area. At least the two of them were gonna be safe, at least she hoped. Erebros was busy fighting Phakk now, so guess she really just had to focus on Ward for the moment. She put the Ocarina away pain on her face from the sound based attack Ward just unleashed.

“You see all of this? All of this chaos and madness you're bringing and your answer is that. I want to help someone who has been corrupted, controlled, their mind warped by your friend. And your response is to stop me.” Crotona was filled with more anger than she had in entire life. The horn on her head began to flicker with colors as she raised the Z-Sword right in front of her. “Don’t act like you're here to help people. Stop lying to me. It really pisses me off.” Crotona was beyond being pleasant. They were beyond talk either. They had been beyond that but in some way in her heart she had hoped that maybe Ward would listen. Maybe someone would listen. They could all calm down and come to a truce of some type. To get what both sides wanted. But in the end, she had underestimated the strength of her foe's position. How much they believed what they said. And in her opinion, how vile and cruel the people in front of her were. The only comfort in all of this was Ward saying he’d stop Phakk from killing them. But even that seemed hollow.

Crotona swung her sword as she gritted her teeth from the pain. She’d ignore it, she fight through it. That was what she was going to have to do in order to stop Ward and Phakk. She could her monstrous pulling at her, they were ready to fight as well. Her horn would shift turning the color of red. Her form would suddenly shift as she grew in size to overcome the battlefield and stand over the walls. She was the size of an Ozzaru now, a giant bull headed skelton that lingered over the battlefield. She opened her mouth as smoke flew out. She would her Z-Sword that grew with her form she would bring it down towards Ward to cut through the wall behind him to open the battlefield and blast Ward away with a powerful blow.

Transforming into Bellial

Now he was getting somewhere! A gleeful smile hit his face as his double made clean cuts against Phakk’s form. Erebos’ style was all about the little strike. Death by a thousand shadows, or whatever. Some guy wrote a book about it centuries ago. Not that Erebos ever read it.

But it seemed his mimicry magic was being turned against him now. His shadowy self was caught, turning into a smiling thing against its will. Erebos frowned, tutting in response. ”No. No good at all. You changed his nose— I hate when people do that.”

He sidestepped his mirror’s moves, sighing with a bit of effort. It was faster now that Phakk was controlling it. In all honesty, it made the Shadowmancer jealous. Soon enough though, he found a flaw in the thing’s attack pattern, and gripped it by the neck. Coming into contact with something that was once his magic made it easy to dispel, and with a quick flex, the shadow was gone.

Laughter echoed around him as the battle drew ever onward. Giggling and guffaws, hearty chuckles and nervous laughter. These were the ones who came before? The heroes of old who tried and failed?

” I̷͉̍ ̷̜̅t̵̲̄h̸̳͊i̴̜͋ň̷̰k̵̜̃ ̸̳̎ý̶͜o̸͚͝u̸͝ͅ’̶̩̽v̴̪̄ḙ̴̋ ̵̭͑m̸̭̌i̸̬̓s̷͖̃ț̸́ȁ̸̟k̶̏ͅe̵̲͋n̶̖̚ ̸̤̊m̸̟̓ȩ̴́ ̷̛͚f̵͖̊o̵̢͠r̸̺̃ ̶̹̒s̶͈̄o̵̥͂m̸̦̌e̴̘̚ò̸̪n̸͙̕é̴͕ ̷͙̆e̵̙͠l̶̳͑ŝ̵̲e̶̻̐,̷̇ͅ ̷̨͌d̸̬͆ą̴̀ŗ̵̀ḷ̸̎ỉ̶͍n̶̺͘g̶̻͋.̵̡͒ ̷̪̅S̸̻̓e̷̞̒ẽ̵̫…̷̙͊ ̴͔͝I̵͓̓’̷̩̇m̶͙͛ ̷̭̔n̷̫̑ò̷͚ ̷̢̅ḥ̵͝e̴͓̒ṛ̸́o̴̘͝.̶̮̓ “

Erebos laughed with them— well, AT them, rather, before turning to Phakk, who slowly approached. She was grabbing for his face, and Erebos responded in kind, reaching out to Phakk’s own. He knew what she was trying to do, and he’d try the same in kind. To corrupt one another would be a duel of the minds. Could he do it? Could he corrupt the corrupted?

He’d never get to find out, because moments later the wall came crashing down onto the battlefield. The rubble landed between Erebos and Phakk, forcing the Oni to step back and break his connection to the Abyssal before he even got to make it. How lame!

”Way to make an entrance,” he said skyward, winking at Crotona’s new, disgusting form. ”I’ll take you out for a parfait later if we win. Namek… Has parfaits, right?”

Tiamat was next to join the crowd, and Ward not long after. Phakk’s guardian was hidden beneath the dark, somewhere even Erebos couldn’t see. There were senses other than sight that let him keep tabs on Ward, though. If he tried a sneak attack, the Oni wouldn’t exactly be caught flat-footed.

”Well, before all of you rudely interrupted, I was about to make my play. Now I’ve got to change my whole plan up. Look— clearly they’re both more interested in the pair of you. A rival Kai and a… Big… Demon thing? Draw a lot more attention than little old me. Just draw their ire long enough for me to work my magic, and we’ll be home before lunch.”

Stickler, Erebos’ blade, thrummed in response. A violent edge filled the air (as if there weren’t one already) as a strange black ooze permeated the blade. It worked its way down the length of the metal, coating it with its ominous presence.

”Us goodies are hard to beat.” Ew. Did he really call himself that? ”Lets use the power of teamwork, or whatever. Nobody can stop us when we work together!”

---

As the trio, a god, a devil and a mortal lined up on one side, the monster stands its ground on the other. It could feel Ward’s presence, but paid it no mind. Instead, its gaze locked solely upon the three before it, and everything goes quiet. The laughter stops. The scratching sounds stop. Even the previously unnoticed dull throb of reality stopped for a moment. A beat of silence and calm within the eye of the storm. For one moment, the Beast simply stood there, watching them…

Of course, it didn’t last.

This time it lets out a roar, one echoed by the crowd of shadows as all around them the mass finally charges. A screeching horde as they charged towards the trio, leaping through the air and charging across the ground as they flickered and screeched. A ravening swarm of slashing limbs and screeching faces, they acted as rather wonderful cover for the Beast. It charged towards them as well, simply running through any of its shadows that got in the way. It knew they could sense it, but that didn’t change the crowd of beings.

First was Erebos. Its hand would dart out of the crowd to attempt to slash at his throat, before the rest of its body leaps forward in an attempt to grab him by the face, and from there bodily hurl him at Tiamat. Speaking of whom, she was next, the shadowy being leaping towards her, corruption seeping out of its very being as for a moment it seeks to overwhelm the Shinjin with the same viscous black substance that had gotten Pankaa. Then, finally, its form flickers from its leap, and instead this time would appear at the centre of Crotona’s exposed rib cage.

Reaching an arm back, the shadowy appendage extends and grows to match the size of Crotona, before it attempts to plunge its hand into that ribcage and rip out the soul within. It could sense the damage. The weakness. And it intended on ripping it out.


Round two!
Phakk uses 4MP for a +x1 to her transformation, bringing it up to 406,000.
Phakk uses her 100% 6KP Heavy Soul Tear on Crotona, with a free MP boost, bringing it up to 100% of her PL. This removes the exhaustion.
She is also technically using her Corruption UT on Tiamat. This is still an OOC permission ability, so you’re under no obligation to go with it.

It seemed like Crotona's action had gotten in the way of Erebos's plan, as he mentioned telepathically how he was about to make his move when they arrived. Unfortunately, of course, but there wasn't much they could do about it now, they were all in this fight together, and staying separated would mean one of them would get to be beaten up in a one-on-one, in the best scenario. So right now, they had to do with what they had, and the odds were... well... she couldn't easily tell who had the advantage here, but she liked to believe that 3 on 2 was looking good.

Well, great then, because my plan was to empty my energy to block their attacks so that the both of you have a better shot at getting them down. So I guess we really do make a good team, aside from the obvious. Hope you took your medication earlier because there is going to be a lot of creation magic between me and Ward.

Tiamat responded telepathically to Erebos as she readied herself for action. She had gotten somewhat used, in the spark of the moment, to the fact that she would have to fight her kin, even if this whole concept would need a lot of thinking whenever she was done.

It seemed like Crotona was ready for a fight though, as she attacked Phakk without waiting too long. Although it only seems to startle Phakk, who began to agitate her whole magical field into full-on attack mode. This alarmed Tiamat, as she noticed Phakk's power increasing by quite a bit! The Shinjin was defending herself with a simple magic barrier when the corrupted being turned her attention to her... something that had Tiamat flicker for an instant, out of fear, or perhaps under the pressure of Phakk's power.

Her own would soar in response as she was attacked with the viscous liquid that had corrupted Pankaa's energy. It began to 'eat' at Tiamat's barrier, but it was thankfully solid enough to contain the thing long enough for her not to get any on her. However, Tiamat followed Phakk's movement through her energy signature, and she found her going for Crotona! Without hesitation, she would intercept the monster before it could reach her teammate.

Phakk's power was raging, and so, Tiamat had to react in kind. The instant she reached Crotona, she would put herself between the two, and would conjure one of her strongest spells! Between her and Phakk, a barrier would be created, octagon in shape, with 8 different colored crystals.

'' This is my magician's defense, you cannot br...''

She was interrupted by Phakk's hand... breaking through! Her attack had been weakened greatly, but it still reached Tiamat and as Phakk's hand-pulled from her, she could see her damaged soul for an instant before it returned to her, tearing apart her sensations for a moment and getting a sharp scream out of her.

When would then send another message telepathically to Erebos and Crotona, her mental voice visibly shaken by the experience of having a horrific creature reach for her soul.

If you had something to drop, this is the time! I won't be able to create another like this for a while.

She simply said before being shoved away from Crotona by Ward. She had resisted his telekinesis push for a short while, but now that she was exhausted and had gotten wounded, she was ragdolled away easily. She needed to recover... again... but this time hopefully, she gained some proper resources for her team in this battle.

Tiamat uses Transformation Boost! Temporary PL: 350,000 !

Then, intercepting Phakk's attack towards Crotona with Magician's Defense, boosted with Starlwart! For a total of 385,000, reducing Soul Tear to 21,000, which she then tanks for ~5% damage

Crotona watched carefully at the battle that was going on. She was trying to plan her next move and each move would count towards what she would be doing. The Shadows all around Phakk seemed to dance and move at her whim, she had to wonder if that purple haired ki was even there now. Did it even matter? Crotona didn’t know the answer to that question but she’d find out one way or the other. She would have to strike down Phakk or else what else could she do. She wouldn’t stop with the Mazoku. Maybe this Ward guy would but not her. She was not the person that could be trusted to do good things. She corrupted the world around her with no care who it affected. Crotona had to steel her resolve but she also knew the monster she was facing. Each movement forward in this form caused a tinge of fear.

And Phakk did move, attacking all three of them with attacks of different strength and ferocity. But it seemed she once again got the short end of the stick, she was focused on taking her out once and for all. Crotona got ready to form a barrier once more but Tiamat did what she said she would. She would form a barrier in the way leaping in the way. “Tiamat!” Crotona called. She didn’t like seeing her friend take a blow meant for her, even if that was the plan. She could hear the scream that came from Tiamat as well as part of her soul was ripped from her body. Crotona eyes were wide as her sketelkon form slowly faded she landed near Phakk and Tiamat watching this all go on.

She gripped her sword tight unsure what to do next even when Tiamat words filled her head. What about Ward, wouldn’t he try to do something. She had to do something to stop something like that from occurring right? If Ward just moved in to block the attack then it didn’t matter. Would she even have the firepower to take down the monstrous Phakk. She didn’t know. She was unsure what to exactly do. She gripped her sword tight in her hands blood dripping into the ground. Then Erebros launched his own attacks at Ward the blades sailing in the air. Aimed at Ward. She realized this was her opening. She had to use everything she had right now. She breathed out “HAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” All of a sudden Crotona aura exploded out increasing as the horn on her head began to grow slightly the bone cracking and taking a green hue.

“I won’t let you get away.” Crotona said as the blade pulled over her head the energy surging to life. She put it all on the offense, she was not going to be able to defend herself at all. If this backfired, it could end. These people are being controlled and forced to follow the whims of this monstrous duo. No she wouldn't allow it to happen. Her Father would not have let it happen. He does not let fear cloud his judgement. He stopped the villains. The Z-Sword began to grow taking on a green hue as she raised it above her head. Her eyes shined with vicious intent she had no remorse. She had no desire to even hear another word from any of them. Her foes were monsters sure. But in this moment she was one herself.

But she could give less of a shit.

“With Anymore! Chaotic Harvest!” She rushed forward, the blade extending forward as she kicked off the ground. She would bring the oversized weapon around aiming to slash right at the midsection of Phakk to bisect her. Without a second of remorse. She didn’t care if she lived or died. Because she was a monster. And monsters had to be put down.
