Tilting her head to the side, Meara's now black hair fell across her spoked pauldron. She curiously studied the machine from above, it spoke of self-progression and evolution. Were these things such beings were capable of? Meara was uncertain as to that fact, but even so, the entity's aspirations had little to do with their conflict at hand, nor did it matter to the Faun witch. She was here to fight this version of the entity, not whatever else may come from its supposed evolution. Closing her eyes, her breath finally even though she wanted nothing more than to deal with this thing and get back home.

"You speak as though your existence is fleeting. Are you not built to perpetuate?" Meara asked skeptically. Delta spoke one of the mortal races, designed to only live so many decades or centuries before themselves tapering off into nothingness as they die. "Change comes by virtue of ascension, matters of happenstance and appreciation." Her hands plucked from nothing the raw crimson strands of fate once more, examining each with rapt curiosity before turning her attention briefly down on the robot once more, curious which among them might be his, her precision far from pointed in this instance.

"All these pasts, presents, emotions, thoughts." the Faun mused, looking at one strand at a time. "I can see them all, experience them as my own. And yet, not a single one shows past this moment, this second." Losing the strands, each falling back into imperception as they fell from her finger. "And yet, Fate is fickle is it not? What is, what was, what may be. Are they predetermined, or are they mutable?" Tilting her head to the side as if asking Delta herself, she pondered it as well. "I think we shift the lines, small ripples, echoing into waves. But sweeping changes, are those ordained by us or by the masses?"

Taking a seat on her staff, watching the colour return to it once more, the Faun mused with a hum. "My heart, dear machine..." Swooping down, Meara flipped down until her face was only a foot from Delta's. "...is fluttering with anticipation." Rising back up, she set some distance between them once more. "I have not been this excited in a long time." Stomping against the base of her staff, Meara flipped it into her hands as she felt slowly to the ground and readied herself.

"All that exists eventually corrodes. But I am constructed of self repairing technology. I will not corrode." Delta replies evenly. "You interpret my words incorrectly; I hold no concern of fading away - that is the fate of organic life. I cannot be permanently destroyed - I have no need for propagation."

Delta Sentinel sees the gem reaching its full light, and knows the time for the enemy's attack had come. This discussion was nothing more than an opportunity for them both to regain their stores of energy - but it benefitted the Android just as much as it benefitted Meara.

"Organic change may require those things. Artificial Life changes with the immediate need - it does not require millions of years to grow." the Android turns its eyes back to Meara. "You think of change in greater scale - of worlds and species. I do not. I speak only of myself, my own evolution. But as with this battle - fate is not predetermined, but it is predictable."

Delta Sentinel's predictive algorithm tells the Android what it needs to know.

"You will use your ability to weaken my power, and you shall attack me with two to three of your spells." Delta tells Meara confidently. "You will hope that my defenses are not sufficient enough to withstand it all. Your spells rely on not only damaging your foes - but their ability to sap energy and vitality from your foes. Your Worms of Rot and that liquid you sprayed upon me inform me of your strategies."

Delta's eyes narrow.

"You will need more than summoned beasts and energy reduction to defeat this Unit." Delta warns, smiling at Meara. "Come - weaken me and attack. And watch as your strategy fails once more."

Last Hurrah Theme

An almost sadistic grin crossed Meara's lips at the Android's words. No matter how right or wrong its analysis was, she would rend the fate she desired. As her bone-clad cloven feet struck the ground, her eyes turned on the machine mutant that stood as her opponent the furrow of her brow further insisting her focus. "Perpetuation seems to be a curse we are both bound to then." Her voice is a melodic trill and her body language reflects this amusement. "Perhaps this may be a fun eternity." She added with a sardonic laugh, shaking her head dismissively as her fingers trailed through the air.

"Desolation wrought in kind, the Splintered Kings agony. Bear down his blood henceforth." The Faun began to incant, twisting her hands to draw the Faeblood from within Delta's carapace forward and expand it once more within the machine. "Let the taint of the Shattered Throne writhe and crawl within dark veins." Her own body erupted in a miasma of black mist, consuming and encompassing her for a brief moment before fading once more. A low laugh echoed forth from her, resonant around them with a hollow darkness behind its timbre.

Stamping thrice, the clatter of her hooves reverberated into dark nothingness and echoed back upon themselves. Rivers of red fell around Meara, large swathes of that same dark red thread, each twisting and turning upon itself and the brothers as circle and sigil formed, each dripping with a brown-black ichor that stank of death. "Wrathful Mother, sought by the Sun but forever bound in parallel." She grabbed at the threads, pulling and twisting stray ones as the circles layered, multiple complex circuits of magic forming in an instant. "By bloodiest Moon and darkest chasm. By the Playwright's dominion."

Torrents of brackish fluid began to pour from the circles, spitting geysers in all directions but towards Delta. "That which is written, that which will be logged, and that which will never be." A series of large, sharp wooden implements shot from the circle. Encircling the Android, their aim to strike at its core in kind. From an adjacent circle a volley of barbed and tested arrows, each drenched in an amaranthine poison launched into the air, their arc centered on the Faun's target. From the last circle, Cold, Black Fire spun before fading, sparking once more at the machine's feet and erupting forth in a column of corrupted Moonfire.

"That which bears my creation, cataclysmic forced in contrast. Taste their paradox!" Meara shouted over the cacophony, her eyes burning with devilish delight.

"A curse? No. Eternity is not a curse. It is opportunity." Delta Sentinel disagrees flatly. "Eternity is unending learning. Unending evolution. To exist for eternity is to know all things, in due time. I will bear witness to the end of the universe, and eventually, the beginning and end of another. There will always be new data to collect."

The Arcosian Android's hands clasp into fists. Was this... ambition? The Faun's laughter fills Delta's audioreceptors, and her chanting begins. Suddenly, the ooze captured within Delta's body breaks free of its bondage! Delta watches in its vision as its power once again begins to deplete - but this time, the Android was prepared. Within Delta, the Ghetti Metal liquifies, mixing and churning the invasive ooze, separating it molecule by molecule, until all of it was once more recaptured.

As this happens, Delta Sentinel's power returns to its current maximum, and the Android witnesses Meara's chants, her motions, the tones and rings of her voice, and the eagerness and pride in her eyes as her spells came to fruition in spectacular fashion. The shadows, the rivers of red, the magic glowing circles, and everything that came of them - Delta witnesses, and records it all. It watches as all manner of deadly conjurings and even shattered wood surrounds it, and at Meara's command, closes in on Delta in the blink of an eye.

But Delta Sentinel would not be falling to this trap, magnificent a display though it is. Once again, the world about Delta Sentinel seems to slow in the Android's view as it enters into a speed faster than light; as the attacks crash together where Delta was sure to be, they would instead find no purchase, nothing to sap, nothing to lance or impale.

As the impacts come to an end, a voice would sound behind Meara from atop another brick and mortar home.

"Fate has clearly plotted against you this day." Delta would call over to Meara, gazing coldly and calculatively at the Faun. "Your power dampener ability has been analyzed. I shall not falter to it as I had the first time. Further attempts are a waste of your time and energy reserves."

Delta Sentinel smiles.

"I shall pick you apart, piece by piece, and I shall analyze and overcome your every ability - your every tactic." Delta raises its chin, simulating an air of superiority. "Or, you may run away. The choice is yours to make, Organic."

Delta Sentinel is struck by Dark Bargain!! PL is lowered by 15% to 204,000!

Delta Sentinel activates Overdrive, reducing the MP Cost of one MP Boost by 1 point!

Delta Sentinel activates Transformation Boost! Delta Sentinel spends 3MP and gains the Powered Up status, and increases its PL by 15%!! PL raises back to 240,000!!

Delta Sentinel CLASHES against ALL of Meara's attacks with Heavy Defense Tech || Sonic Retaliation
Delta Sentinel uses their extreme speed to avoid an enemy attack, disappearing in an instant! They reappear next to/behind the attacker, and deliver a vicious blow to the enemy!
Power: 100%
KP Cost: 6 KP
Variants: Reflective: Your technique will unleash any remaining PL at an opponent in the event of a successful defensive clash. This will function as an Attack Technique, and will gain a +20% bonus to its offensive power.

Sonic Retaliation (240,000) vs Seal of Worm Rot (102,062) --- Defense wins!! Remaining Power left over for Sonic Retaliation is 137,938!!

Sonic Retaliation (137,938) vs Seal of Worm Rot (76,546) --- Defense wins!! Remaining Power left over for Sonic Retaliation is 61,392!!

Sonic Retaliation (61,392) vs Seal of Worm Rot (76,546) --- FIZZLE!! Sonic Retaliations' power is 80.2% of Seal of Worm Rot's power! These techniques FIZZLE as a result!!

Her head shook in frustration once more as the compounding arcane assault did little to buffet the android, not in the slightest phasing the entity. She had to quit repeating herself, it was doing little to benefit her odds in this conflict in the slightest. Did she not prepare enough? She was lacking in sufficiently lost cost incantations, each drew far too much from her mana pool, and as they did it steadily lost her momentum against the machine mutant. Even at times, both would be left to recover it steadily took the advantage, only widening that growing gap with each exchange.

there was no winning here at this rate her safest option was unfortunately retreat, as much as the thought disgusted her. Of running from this robot for the second time in a row. It was truly the only choice that would not result in her returning more injured than she desired to be. Shaking her head in disgust, the Faun reeled back and released the crimson threads, wave after wave of read settling back into that space between the real and unreal once more any obfuscation of Meara lessened until her full self could be made out again.

"As much as I loathe to leave, I have my own analyses to make." Meara purred with a forced smile, her eyes like daggers on Delta. With a scrap of stray stone Meara traced a circle into the ground, the intricate runes aglow. "I look forward to our next encounter Machine Mutant. Praytell then we won't push each other to mutual exhaustion so easily." The Faun's lips curled into a bemused smile as she stepped into the centre of the circle, encapsulated in darklight once again a mass of miasma shrouded her until in an instant she was gone, returned to a destination of choice. Specifically, her ship stationed nearby.

Delta Sentinel crosses its arms over its chest, eyes leering down at Meara as the magic surrounding her fades away. Had Delta lungs, it would be a certainty that the Android would be very much winded by this exchange. Maintaining confidence, Delta raises its chin slightly.

"Our next meeting will not be so evenly matched." Delta Sentinel warns the faun. It smiles after a moment. "Learn all you can - so that I may store that knowledge myself. When next we face off, I too shall have evolved."

As Meara draws her magic circle - the same kind she'd used to flee from the palace on Arcose with her entourage - Delta entertains the notion of firing a beam past her head. Instead, the Android merely watches as the Faun takes Delta's offer to flee, and vanishes without a notable trace. Once more, silence fell upon this town turned enemy encampment. Militant bodies still decorated the streets and buildings, and Delta Sentinel's silver sheen shines bright with the reflected sunlight.

The mechanical hands clench into fists, and the Android considers Meara's philosophy, along with the one offered by Nero.

"Guru Nero... my assertion was correct after all." Delta says, and smiles. "This will not end."

Thread Exit! GG's Meara, this was fun!!
