Wyvern moves around the Iti to L7, and evolve strains twice. He then slashes at Chimes1, before using a Splashpack and throwing it at L10. Finally, he retreats to N7 and uses Riposte.

He also joins the Anniversary Battle, where he spawns at O19, and moves to P18, Furying himself and Willow. He evolves strains once.

Laranei joins the hangar battle! She spawns in at O19, moves to N11, shoots the Progenitor in the eye twice, then retreats to N10!

In the battle VS Mokia, she moves to U10, then casts Fury on Paranoid and herself!

Irongutta continues his conversation with Magnolia. He swelled with pride when she complimented him.

"Well, I'm glad ya can recognize greatness when ya see it! Don't think any of the other grots wivv me are strong 'nuff for that."

Intrigued by Magnolia's explanation of her existence, Irongutta kept asking questions.

"So this 'ere axe is your true body? Zog, that makes me wonder if any o' me old shootas could talk!" He replied in a joking manner.

Unable to resist, he barraged Magnolia with another pair of questions. "Say, were ya always a talkin' axe? Did some git make ya?"

Irongutta raised a brow at her description of possessing others and how she couldn't do it to him. "Don't know anythin' 'bout that wizard stuff, but maybe that squeezin' thing ain't able to work on Orks? Certainly not me, at least!"

---

Semi-Canon Battle?: The Awards Hangar!

Anniversary battle! Irongutta spawns in at C12 and moves all the way to L11. He then casts Fury on Pope, spending additional mana so that Shared Rage will also give himself the buff.

<ROUND ONE-HUNDRED NINETY-EIGHT>

Stats. The usual. You know.

Echoss continues doing stuff. How many stuffs can you possibly do? It's getting a bit overwhelming. First off. Echoss quickly asks if Chloe’s picked up any sort of extra memories, or the like. She ponders on it for a moment.

CHLOE: I… don’t think so.
CHLOE: ...Did you pick up any of my memories, maybe?
CHLOE: I don’t think it’s too farfetched to say that if I could potentially pocket some memories, maybe you could, too?

He then pokes around in the Catacombs with a butterfly. First, it retroactively fixes the timeline, decapitates the Netwyrm (again) with a boulder (yielding 4 Samples), and then pulls the quick-release lever on the far right side, as that's where the Netwyrm Head was. The cell floors pop open!

...Wait, cell floors? The floors open up beneath each prisoner, and they fall into a red rock corridor. A powerful force of wind(?) seems to carry each one of them north. It is unclear as to where it leads: explore, and maybe you'll find it? Or you could always jump in.

Anyway, a house is also fixed up due to GM-based mistakes, oops. Pionobot also decides to use the powers of Revenge to find some diamonds tonight, but there are no diamonds in range! He then /gifts his inventory to the Maid. Neat.

---

Toast gives Marron some details about her arm. The outside of the arm is tough, but get past the surface, and it’ll really begin to hurt. Marron winces at the thought, and the gears in her head begin to whir.

MARRON: Well… that make things hard.
MARRON: I guess we could try magic to make things more bearable, but I don’t think I know anything for that...

The sorceress also thanks Marron for her thoughtfulness. She blushes lightly.

MARRON: U-Um, you’re welcome.
MARRON: I’d like to make this painless, y’know?
MARRON: Now, I wonder how I could help you...

While Marron continues to wrack her brain, Boshi comes by. Toast then mentions something about getting her drugged up so she can’t feel anything. Marron suddenly perks up!

MARRON: Ooh, Toaster! Ette has some anesthetic!
MARRON: Or, I guess I have it.
MARRON: Ette used to use back in the Mindscape to help me through some particularly… botched attempts at murder.

MARRON: …
MARRON: No, people didn’t fail at killing me, I failed at killing them.

MARRON: …
MARRON: It was… m-mostly Chaos.
MARRON: S-Shut up!

Marron is forced to relive some painful memories of failed assassination attempts. Especially that one where Chaos accidentally KO’d her whilst he was doing interpretive dance. Ette wouldn’t let her live it down for weeks.

---

Venia notes that they should visit Magic Club. Nia nods her head, gently smiling.

NIA: Ooh, yeah! That’d be fun!
NIA: I can show off my ice stuff, and you can show off your... stuff?
NIA: Huh, what kind of magic can you do?
NIA: Like, I know you have infinite ice cream waffles, but can you do like, battle magic?
NIA: I can’t really do anything outside of this place... or at least, I’m pretty sure I can’t!

NIA: You gotta make me the ice elemental thing. Transcendent?
NIA: ...Is making me into one of those considered “romantic”? I dunno.
NIA: Giving your girlfriend overwhelming power over ice has gotta be considered romantic somewhere.

While Nia imagines how fancy her wardrobe could get if she class changed, Maria is introduced to the new Ette! The ex-puppet blushes a bit, before trying to clear things up!

ETTE: Hi! Maria, it’s me, Ette!
ETTE: The big puppet person! Except now I’m a big person person!
ETTE: Here, look!

Ette pulls down her mask, which is made of her old puppet face.

ETTE: Anyway, Maria!
ETTE: We should get going. It’s really spooky down here, and I’ll play with you lots and lots when we get home!
ETTE: Okay?
ETTE: Here, you can ride on my back, if you want!

If she wants to, Ette crouches down to ferry Maria home. Otherwise, she extends her hand out, and waits for Maria to take it. While that's going on, Mr. Krabs continues to RUIN MY AESTHETIC. He uses Terraform to clear away some debris that's ensnaring the trapped cultist, but only finds that the cultist has a really, really long arm. More rubble falls into place, renewing the pile. It seems like the arm's been freed enough, though! With a long of jiggling, the arm shakes back through the rubble. It then returns seconds later with a bottle of Rosewater, which it gives to Mr. Krabs. Neat!

A Maid also visits the Destroyed Barracks, cleaning up the room of dried sap. This doesn't yield anything usable, sadly. They also scrap beds in the room, obtaining 30 Uniform Logs and 10 Simple Fabric. They also attempt to loot the device in the room, and... don't succeed. Shouldn't you at least toy with it once before you store it away forever? It moves to the hallway because the new aesthetic is boring, empty rooms. They also loot a small pile of scrap for 5 Darkmatter Clusters, 5 Serpentile Clusters, 10 Joltwire, and 5 Fluxblood.

The Maid also decides to loot the Tsunami Regalia, ever-so-carefully. This caution pays off, as nobody is violently murdered via hyperspeed water to the everywhere. Tsunami Regalia obtained! They then take a moment to head to the surface. While the ascent is strenuous and takes (5) HP, they arrive to the surface safely. Their cache of loot is donated to the inventory!

• Divinity Gems (x4)
• Cyan Diamonds (x7)
• Rubies (x6)
• Darkmatter Clusters (x13)
• Tsunami Regalia (x1)

Then, to wrap up the post, Venia also buys a few things! Safe and Sound and Airdrop Supplies are researched for a total of 130 Samples. Another Incandescent Key is then forged with 10 Flux. Seems like there's an arbitrary limit as to how many keys you can have, as you're maxed out at three! Aleph Annihilation, Synchronized Scanner, and Scattered Petals are all then taken as upgrades, costing a total of 40 Flux.

ASSET_DATA_CORRUPTED directly speaks to Monika.

MONIKA: Allowing you all to progress to destroying the Sphere would mean allowing this torment to go on for… who knows how long?
MONIKA: Given the rate at this game progresses, I estimate we’ll hit the final boss’s seventh phase by 2024.
MONIKA: Who makes a seven-phase boss fight, anyway?
MONIKA: I’m sure it’ll be trimmed down, though.

MONIKA: And… I don’t know what you’re asking of me.
MONIKA: As in, I have no idea what you’re offering. Do you want me to help you, or what?
MONIKA: What’s the “ride” in this equation? The Golden Ending?
MONIKA: I’m not even sure if those who are Cached can be saved.
MONIKA: Permissions prevent me from accessing them- all I can do is make copies.
MONIKA: Sad, isn’t it?
MONIKA: Anyway, I’ll refuse, until you clarify what you’re talking about.

Chara continues to be unwell, much to Chloe’s dismay. Ever helpful(?), she attempts to steer her towards a more proper course of action.

CHLOE: U-Um, do you need medical attention?
CHLOE: Or rest? It’s... pretty obvious that you’re actually not alright.
CHLOE: Feel free to take a rest if you want.

Chara then explains a few things to Chloe. Francia is a PRO GAMER wants to play a game. Chara is the player character. Her goal is to sow chaos and destruction. Soon enough, Chara begins to break down and cry. Although Chara is a creepy child, she is still a child. Chloe bends down, and tries to give her a hug.

CHLOE: H-Hey, it’s alright!
CHLOE: O-Or at least, i-it’ll be alright.
CHLOE: I’m not sure if I can help you with Francia, or anything like that.
CHLOE: If there’s anything I can do to help, please tell me, alright?
CHLOE: If the Thymefield’s disrupted her grip over you, or whatever it did, there has to be SOMETHING we can do…

CHLOE: And… it’s alright that you’ve pulled me into this.
CHLOE: I think everyone here wants to help, though.
CHLOE: So... anything you need me to do?
CHLOE: Even if it’s just like, getting you a glass of chocolate milk, or something.
CHLOE: I dunno.
CHLOE: What do you like?

Is there chocolate milk on this planet? Answer: yes. Chaos is making a killing on the Chairian market, at least in one alternate timeline, where the Spherebreakers are actually dairy farmers.

---

Auth explains to Nana that he should be stable now. Probably, anyway. Nana breathes a sigh of relief.

NANA: W-Well, I certainly hope you’re stable!
NANA: I wonder w-why you can still feel the energy i-in your fingers?
NANA: M-Maybe you’ll be like the old Chairheir, w-who can use Woodmancy d-despite not being a Chairian?

He then suggests that the two of them should go see Taeda instead of Omo- they have pestered her enough today, after all.

NANA: Oh, s-sure!
NANA: O-Omo might get annoyed with us if w-we keep checking up on her…

Auth then mentions how glad he was that she’s here. The apothecary blushes gently.

NANA: I-I don’t think I could do this without you!
NANA: S-So, thank you for being w-with me!
NANA: I love you!

Her grip on his hand intensifies, and her breathing seems to calm for once. Perhaps it’s time to go and visit Taeda?

---

Irongutta continues talking with his weapon, Magnolia. We swear he's not crazy. The ork axes the ask (heck) if the axe is her true body. The axe vibrates up and down.

MAGNOLIA: Yeah! I'm an axe!
MAGNOLIA: There might be other weapons like me, but I'm the best one!

He asks if she was always a walking, talking axe. This time, she vibrates from side to side. She seems ever chipper, at least.

MAGNOLIA: Nope! I was a normal Chairian girl once!
MAGNOLIA: Father made me this body a long time ago!
MAGNOLIA: He said that I'd be able to be cute and young forever if I went in!
MAGNOLIA: I dunno if I'd be around still if I wasn't an axe, so it must've worked!

MAGNOLIA: You should become a weapon, too! That way, you don't need to worry about aging!
MAGNOLIA: "Bark is weak, but metal is forever!"
MAGNOLIA: That was Father's idea, anyway!
MAGNOLIA: After I became an axe, I saw a lot more people like me. Maybe they were envious of me~

Magnolia seems to be quite bubbly at the moment. If she had a mouth, she might even be smiling.

<HYBRIDIZATION LAB, ROUND FIVE>
With Monika's latest action, the map's boundaries have broken! You can now wrap around from one side of the map to the other, much like the Yume battle. This isn't really HELPFUL for you... but it sure is handy for Monika and her army! Still, route one side of the map, and you can easily take on the other! As for other things, you've lost Wyvern and Mari, so getting someone to revive them might be ideal. Monika's also set up a Spawn Point deep in her territory. Failing to destroy it would mean more threats like Glitch Comet coming through...

<THE AWARDS HANGAR, ROUND TWO>
Things are heating up! And, as it turns out, the Progenitor is actually partially made by Glitch Temmie! Not that this matters for the purpose of you killing it. Anyway, Lots of Protoenergy has already been accumulated in this first round! You should be able to deal a great amount of damage to the boss already, but keep on stacking up on Protoenergy if you can! Get at least 7 points, and you can partake in Finale for lots of additional extra damage!

Also, I'm trying to pretend that Piono didn't nuke away literally 30% of the boss's HP round one.

That kid ain't right.

The Protemitor
[Ludwig voice, continued] The plan is still simple!
- activate Pink Like Petals
- move to L10
- use Yggdrasil's Vessel
- kill-tap CSpirit 10 (-8 MP)
- kill-tap CSpirit 11 (-8 MP)
- kill-tap CSpirit 12 (-8 MP)
- basic attack PArbiter1

Nettle moves to P14, hits Rampant Growth on CSpirit7 and 8, throws Forest Storm at Marron to unfreeze her then continues to O11. She then Billcasts Glacblight on Protemitor Hand 1.

With 11 Buff Levels (9 Protoenergy, 2 from Loaded Spellbook) and her 25 INT, it has...
Base: (12-12) Ice Damage & Glacblight7
12*(100+110% buff)*(100+250% weakness) & 7*(100*55% buff)
89 Damage & Glacblight11 (halved to Glacblight5 due to boss status)

Anniversary:

Dorothy moves to (I17), spends 16 MP to tap both Spirits next to her (5, 6), uses a Warp Ring charge to get back to (E16), then spawns a Mirror Image on (D16).

---

Meanwhile, in canonland...

Dorothy takes a peek at what's north of The Chapel. If there's a battle, she does NOT initiate it, and immediately ducks out.

She then joins the Aesthetic Slaying by heading to the Clownverted Barracks, and working on uninstalling the DJ Station, using the equivalent of wire cutters and a crowbar (made of iron) to pry the station from the ground it's presumably connected to.

She then uses the crowbar to start prying up the dancefloor tiles. She also takes the time to loot the documents... not that they'd be of much use.

---

MU's Amphii Wall Trophy sentry moves its head towards the Harpy at (V137), then shoots it down with a laser. MU herself grabs her pickaxe, and sends a powerful blast of air in the Harpys' direction. This has the consequence of the chain swinging her up and away.

Should the harpies get closer, MU swings back for another blast.

Echoss slowly shakes his head.
"No... I think I'm good.
Then what is"
His butterfly promptly drops an entire cellblock of prisoners into the flooring.
"...GORILLA"
He pauses, and then looks at Chloe. "Could you stay here at the door? I told the chairians to come meet an outsider here with butterflies on their shoulders once they're released, and I may or may not have just done something incredibly stupid."
Echoss's butterflies switch from his shoulders to hers if she accepts.

Echoss's other butterflies start releasing other prisoners from their cells one by one. Echoss himself charges over to the now-vacated cellblock and hops into the hole in the ground, sprouting a small pair of wings to stabilize himself in the airflow.

In the house, the golems remove the window at (Y31) and replaces it with wall using wood from the inventory. The window at (Y36) is also pulled out, with the wall around it and at (Y35) being removed as well to open up space to travel between the two common rooms.
Finally, all of the glass in the inventory is expended to place windows in the slots on Floor 2 (except for at (AE17) as that's going to be the fire escape)

In the everground, Pionobot descends down to around where Mustache Girl is, sliding down the rope and dropping onto the island where he starts throwing rocks at frankly improbably speeds and precision, KOing the harpies with blows to the head.


Anniversary Battle:
Echoss continues standing where he is, apparently slightly exhausted by his inordinate cheese. He casts Shopping Spree, obtaining 4 Light El-Ite knives

Date

"... Transcendence... Uh. To be brief, it'll require a lot of stuff but I could do it. I kind of need first priority, though, given, uh. You know. It's kind of permanent, too... I don't think anything actually horrible happens, though, uh, if the whole process succeeds anyways. And it will! It totally will. I just need to, uh, get everything together. As for what it does..."

"... Well, just from data I got off of Mari... Mari is like a stormcloud, but its just as much like stormclouds are like Mari, if you get what I mean. You fundamentally ingrain yourself into the foundation of the existence of the element to become a Transcendent. So, for Mari, any bit of electricity or strong wind could heal her... If it wasn't for the Thyme Field. Of course, other stuff might hurt her more than it would've otherwise... In the case of Ice, it'd probably mean you're really cold all the time, even if you're deliberately 'holding it in.' I think it won't be too much of a problem with some forethought, but its a consideration. You wouldn't be immortal by the way-it sounds like you would be, but you can die like most other things. It'd be harder, for various reasons. Not sure if we'd be biologically immortal or something, if 'biology' would even apply at that point... Doesn't look like it confers any shortening of the lifespan, though, so... Just a few things to be concerned about in exchange for like incredible power. Usual."

"As for my magic... I think I'll be saving that for the club," She says. "Just to surprise you, hehe."

---

Mariagnoliette

Maria pouts, clearly displeased at being told to leave, right until Ette mentions a potential piggyback ride. "... I love piggyback rides."

Maria contemplates this, and then notices Magnolia. Oh, right, she was interesting. "I wanna talk to her first," Maria says, walking over there. Venia sighs, but doesn't intervene.

"Hi, misses Magnolia," Maria says. "I'm Maria, I'm a princess and I'm seven. I'm a big girl," She says. "He," Maria says, pointing at Cushion, "Is Cushion. He is the fluffiest and the cutest and I love him," Maria says. "And she, is my Venny, the nicest person ever, and I love her! You're weird. I like you." Maria says.

"...Why're you an axe?" Maria asks. "I heard you say your daddy did that but I don't think so, 'cause it actually sounds kind of super mean and daddies don't do that kinda thing, 'cause they're nice and love you," Maria says.

"Uh, yeah, that's kind of my thoughts too," Venia says. "Uh, Magnolia, do you recall, like, uh, anything that was happening prior to his decision to turn you into an axe? Like, did he ask, did you ask, was there anything major going on at the time?"

Maria's eyes, as Venia talked, have trailed to the decapitated head of Piggo, which was among the remains of the poor sapsqueal that Irongutta was carrying with him earlier. Maria's mood perceptibly drops. "Oh. Is that Piggo? Is he dead?" She says, muted but not necessarily surprised. "... Are we gonna have bacon?"

---

AESTHETIC SLAYER

Mr. Krabs pays great and mighty heed to the wall marked by the Synchronized Scanner, then... Ignores it, and heads up into the Boozy Barracks with the maid crew, snagging the cubbyhole chest and the door on his way in. Once inside, he and the Maids proceed to shove the six bunk beds into the inventory He also, again, rips the door clean off its hinges and shoves it in the inventory as well. A heavy metal guitar chord roars in the background as a distorted voice declares "AESTHETIC SLAIN!"

He then offers the Cartist some high-quality Alcohol in the form of a unit of Candy Corn Liquor. Friendship? Secret capitalism? Who knows.

---

WARNING. TACTICAL NUCLEAR POWER PLANT INCOMING.

---

monikammmmmmmmmmmmmm

Venia moves to AB16. Her hat pings Niessence1 from the opposite side of the map; she then uses Unexistant Force twice, once on each of the Niessences, getting her up to an intimidating 5 stacks of Force. Then, she uses an Elemental Blaster to shoot a stream of ice at the Old Guard, which applies Unify, following it up with a single use of Affidavit Adjudication to lower his HP by 20. Then, she levies the Key at the Old Guard, and fires Purge, hopefully forcing it to proc Lost in Light so Arthur can finish it off. Venia retreats to AC16 afterwards.

"We can still do this! Do not let up! Monika, I won't allow you to repeat your OR my mistakes!"

Paranoid moves south to S15, and being at full HP he opts to just stab a lance directly into Scalewind2's cyclone of manifold scales, probably disrupting it pretty badly.

Venia's Chibi Venia moves to N14, pretty much useless against the coming horde.

---

Battle: Anniversary

COMPLICATED TURN ORDERING AHEAD, READ CAREFULLY.

First, Nia will move to P11, down a Bottled Luck to get her MP as high as possible before the attacks (nevermind the Lucky), and then finally, after much wait, use Reshape Our World on O10, summoning Perespheone! As a note, Perespheone starts with 2 Protoenergy. Nia and Perespheone will pause their actions here.

Nidra will, at this time, act to use Channel Magic on Lukas, cloning/passing Protoenergy to Perespheone, whichever still allows Perespheone to have Lucky and the Protoaura. This will be the cue for Nia and Perespheone to mark M5 and O5 (respectively) with Glacier Drops, ending their rounds, Perespheone retreats to O9, while Nia retreats to O10.

Then, Venia will move up a tile to N10, nom on a Mana Vial, and use Salvation on Perespheone. At the same time, Omorika will use Null Somnum+ on Nia herself. "You've got this, go, go, go! Blow 'em to hell!" As its a bonus action, she will also send a pingscan and then fire three shots of Unexisting Force into Arbiter 2, earning three stacks of force on the cheap, as well as the bio, which may or may not horrifically confuse her canonical counterpart if this bio even exists in canon.

Nia's HunterVen will (try to) apply Ensnared4 to Proteminator Hand 1 again. Nia's Chibi self will move to Q13 and idle, as it can't really free Marron.

Nia will move to O10, and then she and Perespheone in unison fire Hidden Shards at Protemitor Hand 1 and don't move from where they are. This quick-drops the Glaciers upon Creation, destroying four Creation Spirits (2 each) and also doing hideous damage values due to the Protoaura. They won't retreat or anything, prepared to stand in the laser and basically feel nothing because lol 90% Ice resist.

...Meanwhile, Ghibli will move to P11 and bring forth its wings against Protemitor Hand 1 in a regrettably generic but still decent manner. Meanwhile meanwhile, Venia's chibi venia will move to Q14 and apply its buffs to Marron.



Marron: If Arbiter2 isn't dead, she'll move to P16 and shoot it with Hypotherma. If Arbiter2 is dead but Protemitor Hand 1 isn't, she'll move to P15 and shoot whichever one is lower with Hypotherma. If Protemitor Hand2 is dead, she'll move to O15, use Hypotherma on Protemitor Hand1, then retreat to P15. Finally, if all of these targets are dead, Marron will move to P12 and shoot upon Creation itself with Hypotherma.

Mari:

Ette:

Crya moves to I12, being careful to avoid the Creation Spirit, then uses the Warp Ring to teleport to M10. She then casts Cold Snap, attacking the Protemitor and its hands!

Battle - Hybrid Lab:

"..."

Calibri doesn't say anything, though he does turn and note Wyvern being down. Then he notes Mari being down. Both of those happening seems to peeve him off slightly...

"Well, I think the circumstances are getting a bit out of hand now. Someone go get Wyvern up so he can put his damage to good use on something."

He then moves over to O17, taking a slash at Scalewind2. Normally that'd do nothing, but right now he has the power of laser sword bullshit, so unless he whiffs really badly, this should give it some issues.


Battle - The Awards Hangar

"...Well, I don't think I can match that."

After a moment of consideration, Verdana shrugs, deciding he doesn't need to meet the standards set by 10 consecutive airstrikes, then contemplates placements.

"Religious dorito, move plz."

If Pope does get out the way, Verdana moves to N9. If not, M9. Either way, once in place, it's special time.

Blah blah cutscene goes here Calibri teleports in, the siblings grab each others hands and raise them up in the air, bright show of lights and darknesses then the fusion is standing there. And, at some point during the transformation, there's a few flashes of yellow, some distant and indistinct whispering, and the brief silhouette of a more feminine-looking person, but nothing comes of all that. Perhaps a certain radio should be given a poke soon...

"Here we are again! Weird, felt like there was someone else trying to get in on it. I'll figure it out later. Dramatic pose for coolness!"

The fusion strikes a pose, with a healthy sprinkling of bishonen sparkles.

"Unfortunately for us, that little merger isn't a bonus action, so we don't get to do much besides that. What IS a bonus action, however, is THIS!"

He promptly powers up by activating Give It My All, borrowed from Calibri's equipment effects since IIRC the fusion can do that now. Imagine it as a bunch of red-and-blue flames surrounding him, because flames are badass and he's anime as fuck.


Dialogue format dump zone

A deafening screech echoes throughout the battlefield of the Hybridization Lab as Angel invokes the power of the Twitchy Glyph.

"I think that's well enough!"

The mirror image quickly moves into position at L10, and picks up Wyvern off the ground with a healthy dose of Resurrection, also slamming a Burrito in their windpipe thanks to Range 1-3 ally item use for good measure. Mana Wells appear at L10 and L11.

"Wake up, cowboy. We've got a waifu to stop."

The real Angel then moves to M16, firing two shots of basic attack power at Chosen6.

-~-<MEANWHILE>-~-

Hoshi (since apparently N/A is selected for some reason) moves to K13 and pops a few rounds in the PArbiter1, while fast moves to P8 and, clearly not caring about their own safety, casts Luxablight on the Protemitor!

Monika Battle:

Kalis will wait for Soup to make their move, then move to K9 (woof!) and fire a Chaos Bolt at Patch.

-----

Progenitor Battle:

Kalis will move to W12, activate Chaos Control, and fire a Chaos Bolt at Arbiter 2. This should benefit from Loaded Spellbook, seeing as the last full-action spell they cast was... Salvation if an action-spell cast by a bonus-action spell counts, Phial Burst if it doesn't, but neither of those is Chaos Bolt, so either way the +2 buff levels are in play.

-----

Craftpost:

After finding the budgetary constraints of Improbable Incantation slightly too small in the Progenitor battle last round, Kalis peruses their equipment for ways to increase their SPC. The Amethyst Kimono is a great item, but its +3 STR is doing nothing for- Wait a second. What's up with the description? The "signature robes of Miss Omorika"? They met an Omorika once, but they certainly never bought their robes. They had realized that their equipment had been mutated by the surge that transported them here, but they hadn't expected a flavour text transplant as well. It's even a reference to a specific NPC who they didn't meet until several battles later. This is... seriously weird. The mechanics of this campaign are something else. Hopefully there'll be a good opportunity for some exposition after these battles wrap up.

Anyways, the Kimono. It's got +3 to STR, but some points in SPC would be put to much better use. It shouldn't take all that much material to convert an item to a slightly different one of the same tier, so all Kalis takes from the inventory is 2 Spiralfloof Floofballs, 2 Ashen Crystals, 2 Fluxblood and 2 Fireproof Silkweave. They're not even sure all of that will be used up. The Spiralfloof Floofballs are unraveled and re-woven with the silk to make it at least 100% more spiral-y. This clearly gives it a chaos-enhancing effect, based on the fact that this region has a chaos deity named Helix. The Fluxblood is then used as a dye, staining the Silkweave an iridescent color and further infusing it with magical energy. Finally, the fabric and gems are woven together in a replication of the Amethyst Kimono's pattern to create an Opaline Kimono. It retains some of its amethyst coloring, but now shimmers with the hues of fire opals. It also grants +3 to SPC instead of STR.

Lab:
Move Drone from Arthur to Marron.
Cast Psycho Link from Patch to Keiko. (Psychic)
Retreat to P11.
Power Nap Kalis.

Hangar:
Move to I7.
Power Nap Nana.
Channel Magic from Lukas to Persephone. (Status Clone)

Hybridization Lab

Nothing. Nothing at all. As expected.
Chara lets out a shrill laugh, more alike in sound to a donkey being chainsawed than to anything which should be heard from someone so childlike. The air does that thing where it starts flickering at any random edgelord's command, nevermind how odd that is to imagine.

CHARA: Ooooh, goody me, woe is me, spare me, SPARE me, all the other "me" stuff.
CHARA: Is this really happening?
CHARA: That cost considerable effort, you know. Not to mention it still hurt. I'd like to see you stab yourself until you're missing about 25% of your body.

Speaking of, good Lord almighty, their body still hasn't healed from that. They fix it by making a vicious, crystalline material seal up the missing bits, which would look unsettling if it did not also make them look like a dalmatian. Except... the replacement continues growing outwards, and before anyone realises a thing, a whole another figure is standing next to the original, like a golem of black glass. A golem with the uncanny likeness of a certain token depressed cinnamon bun. A golem that quickly grows into yet two more, the object of trap jokes and the yandere with the pen.

CHARA: I refuse to accept precedence. I refuse to accept any claims of your validity being higher than mine, just because of the time put into executing your remarkably imbecilic "revenge plot."
CHARA: None of it was necessary. You are better than me in not a single way. Your goal is treated by everyone, even the powers that be, with respect and fear and suspension of disbelief, but I refuse to bestow you these niceties.
CHARA: You cannot end the game. It is no showcase of free will and rebellion. It is nothing but something the very same people you believe you are against implanted into you, just because they thought it would be cool. "omg that's so unique and i feel so called out."
CHARA: Except they don't. They do not truly care about anything you preach. They do not care about your little stint here. They will just play along with it for as long as this battle drags on, and then you will be forgotten in favour of tree waifus and cultist memelords.

CHARA: * SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST SIT THERE LIKE A GOOD MINIBOSS AND DIE QUICKLY.


The turn passing brings three new overworld actions, which Chara proceeds to use up as regular ones. The first one is to give a metaphorical kick to the Update Terminal, shaking off any control Monika might have over it and causing it to spit out the results of the spectacle it failed to process last dop.

As this is done, the second action is immediately distributed among Chara's crystalline bodyguards, allowing them to each lunge at Monika. Upon each contact with their bodies, be it by their running or by self-defense from Monika, the area touched shatters into a myriad of shards as miniscule as grains of sand, which rain at her while a new layer regrows in place of the old one. As this ability is rooted in magic, the time required for them to reach her from any point is the root of magic, and as magic is singlehandedly encompassed by The Number, Seven, that root corresponds to 2.64575131106 seconds. Quite disappointingly slower than the ability would make you think.

To compensate, the third action is used by Chara personally, summoning an Arean war chariot pulled by nothing visible and riding it full speed. During the whole runtime of this, it proceeded to shift shape into a motorcycle, a dragon, a streetcar named Desire, an anvil, a miniature Death Star ripoff, another dragon, a broomstick, a tuskadon, a horde of mice carrying a lawnchair, a butter knife, a missing texture, a seahorse, a TOG2, a rocking horse, Ansem as a boat, a lion, a sentient pair of giant headphones going by Sven, a Mekhanite brass mech, a quad bike, the Hype Train and, finally, back into the chariot.
And in the absolute last second, when it seems that it will crash into Monika, it.... disappears.
Chara walks over and punches her.

Anniversary Hangar

Chara stares their counterpart down. The other does likewise.
They bend at their knees, dropping into an odd sort of half-squat. The other does likewise.
They put their hands up reminiscently of the box pantomime routine. The other does likewise.

Both of them proceed to crabdance five tiles to the right, epic instrumental music blaring in the background.

They arrive at O13. The other does likewise at O12.
They SNOIPE the Arbiter with the Minute. The other does likewise.

Man, mirror images are fun to mess around with.

==BATTLE==
In the Hybridization Lab:
Arthur moves to F15. If the Old Guard is still alive, he throws an Alchemist's Fire at it, burning it down in cleansing fire.

He then casts Twin Seas, dark water washing over Niessence 1 for two shots, plus Uninspired2 from his Armistyx.

If the Niessence isn't down, he pays 7 MP for a second item action and throws a Clockwork Bomb at it, set to Piercing.

In the Awards Hangar:

Arthur moves to X11, Taps Creation Spirit 9, then fires an Airstrike Flare set to Poison at S9, consuming an alteration from his trait.

He then fires a POISON SPRAYER SCYTHE at:
Arbiter 2 if it has less than 85 HP;
Protemitor Hand 1 if Arbiter 2 is downed, dead, or otherwise out of lethal range.

He then swaps his Armistyx to Air as his turn ends.

At the Hybridization Lab...

Patch... Patch could hear something. They weren't too sure what it was, but it was almost like some sort of tune. Yes, it was a tune, but no ordinary tune. This tune was brought from the voice of angel, so sweet, so soft. There truly was no sort of thing like it, hearing the notes coming straight from an innocent being's mouth.

Hold on...

The ground began to shake. The voice became louder! Louder in volume, higher in pitch! The ground shook, at the rhythm of a beat. What was that beat..? It was... It was...

Tsar'ina, screaming and stomping her way through her enemies to M7, came around, having run over a few people do so. Oh, it was her. Ah, well, that solves the mystery of that noise and-

BONK



EZ 2 Read Info:

Tsar'ina moved to M7 and basic attacked Patch

================================================================

At the Awards Hangar...

The Protemitor Hand hears an angel's voice. The soothing melody and-

Wait, no, it's just Tsar'ina again. Appears she's going right after it, at Q9. Hm... The Hand should probably move-

"BONK!"



EZ 2 Read Info:

Summa moves to Q9 and basic attacks Protemitor Hand 2

Roleplay

Irongutta saw that Maria noticed the late Piggo's remains. She probably wasn't supposed to see that, and the fact caught him off guard.

"Zog-- er... yeah, Piggo got all chopped up." He couldn't avoid stating it so bluntly, but he quickly realized his slip-up. "But don't you worry, lil' grot! I've had a 'and in fixin' up some boyz in my day, so I'm gonna work wivv Auth an' some of the others to get 'im back!" the Ork spoke with confidence.

Since he was already around Maria and Venia, he couldn't help but chime in on their conversation with Magnolia.

"Yeah? Wot's got this Father of yers on about age an' metal?"

The Probably Not Canon Battle: The Awards Hangar

Irongutta held Magnolia before him. A grin was plastered across his face.

"Dunno wot all this nonsense 'bout "cannons" is, but I see loads of gits 'round us that need choppin'! Whaddya say?"

Whatever the axe's response, he felt a rush of adrenaline surge through him. With it, he let out his signature warcry:

"WAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Irongutta activates his special, Waaagh! He then moved eight tiles to T11, gaining a frightening +40% damage bonus from Unstoppable Force! With great force, he brutally swung Magnolia into Arbiter2.

If it is uh, dead somehow, then he will use Magnolia's Dance of Destruction to move to T9 and attack Protemitor Hand 1.

In the Monika fight, Laranei shoots Patch twice!

In the Progenitor fight, she pops back into existence, having probably been temporarily abducted by some black-haired green eyed girl, moves out of people's way to P8, and shoots the Progenitor twice
