Rube-Goldberg Cure 13/??  (EXPENDED)
[Cures Ace of the Rube Goldberg Effect.]

Ace flicks a switch, it turns on a fan which blows a small red, rubber ball down a slide into a button, that button turns on a toy car which drives into an oversized domino, the domino hits another, and other and other. So on and so on for several minutes until the last oversized domino slammed into a catapult which launched a normal sized domino into a thin unbalanced weight with a string underneath. The thing toppled over sending the string to set free a plastic hand which smacked a drinking bird into a cup of water. The bird rose and fell taking sips of the water with its head knocking into a small tube which from the birds bumping was dislodging into a small track sending it rolling down into a scale. The tube tipped the scale because of the additional weight creating an imbalance. This imbalance was because several marblelike  weights had been specifically weighed for this exact purpose. The losing end of the scale smashes into a wooden pole which has a boot attached on the other end which kicks a button. This button turns on a robotic arm which pours a few precious drops of refined complexity addiction. Ace then grabs from out of her hat a small potion and takes the complexity addiction and pours it into the potion and stirs it about. 

The concoction glows faintly before returning to its dull red hue. Ace promptly conjure a table via magic to  set ingredients for the cure upon the newly appeared table. She selects a fine, red powder and pours it into the Cure, she stirrs it until the powder vanishes into the mixture.  She then tosses a few torn up leaves from a tree blessed by the Goat. She has some distaste of using anything related to her but it's nessescary to not die horribly to a certian status effect. She watches as the leaves dissolve into the mixture creating the a fine mist like trickle off of the surface of the potion. She dumps several healing potions, a good luck potion, and a enchanted golden apple into the mixture each of them being devoured by the now purple liquid. It swallows everything Ace drops into it gluttonously transforming itself into exactly what Ace needs. She drops more ingredients in flesh of some anicent beast of yore and a salt created from great Ire. The thing swirls about happily dissolving the rest of the ingredients. But one final thing was needed, Ace bit her finger and squeezed out a drop of blood. The Potion turned red as the blood when the drop touched it. Ace sets a small bunsen burner and a stand to hold the potion to purifiy the liquid within. She then... pulls out her phone and sits on the table way from the fire, waiting for the potion to be done. It boils angrily sending steam flying off of the concoction causing the mixture to become more potent.
Ace taps boredly on her phone waiting impatiently for the thing to finish. She lays with the phone on her stomach, her code cloak peeled back to reveal a casual t shirt and jeans. It begins to bubble cleansing the potion of any harmful remainders. She appears to be currently poking her stomach while the thing finally stops bubbling. The liquid far more potent now and lacking its old acidic qualities and also it won't kill her, how delightful. Ace groans and sets a timer before setting her head down and closing her eyes. Its rather peaceful. After a few hours the alarm goes off waking Ace and indicating that the Potion can now be drunk without scalding Ace's throat.

"Oh, thank god."

Ace chugs the Potion, it tastes utterly foul but she manages to down it all in one go. It drips down Ace's throat and feels as if she dranks syrup, not very pleasurable It is more of a pleasure to have it over with quick for her. The Potion then negates any bad happenings for her cancelling the Rube Goldberg Effect. She lets out a delighted cheer as the thing about her dying horribly is not happening, or at least. Not yet at least. She appears to be content for now.

Ace's Code Cloak hardens giving her a far more safe way to combat Vertex and Co. while having less of a chance to die.

Auth brings up some spires of ink around him, then pricks his finger with Inkscalibur, and the spires turn the blood into a red mist. A vein in Auth's blade lights up, with the color of blood.

V marks Violant when blood is spilled in a Spired Place. So who's to say...

Auth moves over to Ace, and lays Inkscalibur on her shoulder.

That I can't use it for a makeshift transfusion?

The red vein jumps onto Ace, and it infuses extra blood into her, healing her wounds.

Feeling better, Ace?

Auth sacrifices 1 HP to bolster his healing of Ace.

Welp. i thought "" were safe. Charges: 2/25 Stars or Abyss. 2/12 The Abyss' emissary +2 tricklejest This time, I attack vertex, making sure that its actually the godmodder that (almost) everyone has been fighting in this thread. the following describes my attack. Spoiler Alert the dollerama sword vanishes with a flash, before 2. . . pickaxes? seriously? appear in my hands. I step through a glowing circle, appearing behind vertex, as in the one I said I’m attacking, who laughed maniacally after my last action, swinging the dual pickaxes in order to attack. after approximately 30 seconds of combat, during which i display much higher levels of proficiency with a pickaxe then one would logically achieve in any world ruled by a logical god unless they themself are insane, I leap back, put the pickaxes together ( so instead of (--    (-- its (----)  ), and hurl them at vertex (who i was just fighting). the double - pickaxe spins quickly as it flys through the air, landing several hits if unblocked. while Vertex is busy defending herself from the pickaxe, which knocks off various surfaces as if with a mind of its own, keeping her distracted and spinning too fast to grab, I step through another circular distortion, showing up behind her, and initiating further combat using a large golden squeaky hammer with pink velvet for the squeaky part, displaying once more impractical proficiency, before the hammer grows bigger for a final blow, crushing the area where she is standing just after she deflects the pickaxe again, before vanishing as i summon once more the blade, though it instantly morphs to a more crystalline form, glowing light blue from  various inscriptions whenever I strike with a bit more gusto. I then preform a particularly powerful strike, leaping up, throwing the blade at vertex,  and dashing back again. the blade, similarly to the pickaxe, begins to ricochet off various surfaces, causing Vertex to continue to need to divide her concentration. I then pull out a peculiar sickle, mumble something about scythes being off a list, before leaping back into the fray, striking at vertex with the sickle. after about 15 seconds of combat, another me appears, and time slows for the first me and vertex. while JOEbob 1 continues to attack, Joebob 2 begins to fight with blades that grow suddenly from his arm, deftly slicing at vertex with a mixture of skill and uncanny luck, as if he knows exactly how this will play out. after 13 seconds (slowed time), JOEbob 1's sickle glows, before he vanishes. the timeslow slowly ceases, and JOEbob 2 (now 1) loses the peculiar luck, though continuing for a short time before pulling back. he throws the arm-blades too, and they predictably begin bouncing off of rocks and such, as with the blade and pickaxe. JOEbob seems to be tiring slightly, though. his arms stretch to the sides, before he throws one forward, with which a peculiar black substance flies forward, forming arrows which disperse and reform if blocked. any arrows that are blocked with a large shield fall to the ground, and after enough have done so, a dark tendril grabs vertex. then, the other hand flys forward, and a shield of light forms around vertex, blocking Her next attack. i then flash forward, kick her in the spleen, and roll backwards, before I lift both arms in a manner similar to discords /shrug, and in my palms appear a small chunk of rock, and in the other, a blazing orb. orbiting the orb appears a smaller rock, speeding quickly. the chunk and the orb shrink, and the speeding pebble grows, before a flash of light appears, and i am no longer there. seconds later, a flurry of punches hit Vertex, disorienting her, before i appear behind her, Glow yellow, and punch her. she proceeds to fly ~4 kilometres away in 3.74 seconds, and when she returns, she finds my weapons are gone and i am sitting wiht my eyes closed in a small dome of the white light i previously entrapped her in. if she approaches, I open my eyes, look at her, mutter something slightly derogatory that only makes sense with way too much context,  then close them again. that should teach her for redirecting my attack. and for being stupidly named

Joe, just a tip, overtly long posts without any formatting and paragraphs are hard for the GM to read, and we've been trying to cut back on long posts in general recently. Vertex simply breaks the circle as you start for sanity reasons, before saying something about Solidus, Snakes, Scopes and "wait, what was I just thinking about, is this information redacted or something?"

Ace heals herself by creating a +1 to her HP. She then hits Ctrl + C and then pasting it into her code giving her another hit point returned to her health bar. Ace then does the obvious thing to do and chugs a health potion which gives her even more HP as all healing potions heal. She then decides to be a cheat and chug another healing potion but hacked to return her to a healthier state by merely editing the code. But that unfortunately goes only so far as Ace can hack only so many things. Starter Pack Armor 24/25 Rube-Goldberg Cure 12/?? +2 to Speedon

The woman in a suit notices that Omega Kiwi is not doing so hot, and decides to take action. Thus, she moves into view and holds up a hand to signal it to wait, then pulls an actual medkit out of her pocket and crouches down, opening it up and taking out a few items. Actually, I lied, it's just one item, and it's a syringe full of some weird blue stuff, which she proceeds to inject right into Omega Kiwi. Cue the gruesome sounds of flesh and bone and skin and whatever else Omega Kiwi's body is made of all regrowing, while the woman cleans off the syringe with a spare handkerchief, then pulls out a vial of water to wash out the syringe, then puts it back in the medkit and returns the medkit to her suit.

Due to that early death to the Creepy Crawly, the Escorters (and Hezetor) reach the Obsidian Spire, accompanied by a pool of blood. Woah, Vertex is really edgy, is the first thing you likely think arriving here, because, woah, she is edgy. Vertex stands, rotating for whatever reason on top of the Obsidian Spire, up there due to a technique I love to name teleportation. Abyssal energy sparks up there, and due to time constraints, Paris simply stares at Vertex's idiocy as she simply smiles.

This is your preparation turn, and additionally is a null turn. Prepare.

Summery: i make a pickaxe gain the ability to absorb, store, & shoot abyss energy, try to weaken the next boss by absorbing the power (presumably) to be used on it, and there’s some ominous thing for later.
using the abysal energy i drew in last turn, i begin infusing a pickaxe with Abyss.
the energy crackles and spits, before leaping out of the cell and orbiting the pick, which sits on a pedestal in the center of a runed platform, the orb circles slowly, then quicker, untill it seems a disk. the disk tightens, and i place a vacuum cleaner, the energy cell, and a small cannon on the nearby engraved pedestals. the disk glows brighter, and the 3 items disolve into balls of light, which join the disk, which thins further, and changes colour to a yellower shade of purple. before i lift my arms and a faint wining sound can be heard, a glow appear, and then i start. . .
singing? "red like roooses fills. my, dreams, and, brings, me, to, the, place, you, rest. white, is, cold, and, alllwaays yeeaarning, burdened by, a roooyyalll test. black, the beeast deseeends from shaadows, yellow beauty burns. . . Gold. as i sing, orbs of light gather and begin to circle me,in the order i say them. the red one moves around erratically, moving fast sometimes and sending off sparks while stationary others, while the white moves almost entirely orderly, occasionally creating elegant models of strange beasts, as soon the black joins in, and they move in an dance of sorts, which now resembles a battle, the black leaving behind transparent after-images whenever it moves back, before the yellow joins in, launching bursts of golden light almost constantly. after some time, during which a third, purple-black orb forms in the centre of their dance, the black is victorious, and the purple orb zips forward, cutting the black spark in half and absorbing all 4. then, I calmly walk over, before gesturing forward and the purple orb leaps forward to the centre of the disk, and as this happens, a thin blue line appears, connecting my stomach and the pickaxe. the purple orb arrives on top of the disk, and it rapidly contracts, as the orb swells. then a crack in the world appears, and a rift to the abyss opens.
i speak to it for a moment, before it motions strangely, with an arm of pure void, and I nod. large chains of purple-black light appear, chaining me to the spot, before a beam flies forth, about to strike the pickaxe directly before 3 small orbs, quick yet weak, fly forward and surround the pickaxe. light glistens around it, the colour of bloody ground, before the beam stops, the light fades, and the pickaxe flys to my hand.
thought the chains are still there, I can move my hand, and I bend it so as to touch the pickaxe tip to the chain. the tip contacts the chain, and it flows toward it, leaving a deep gash in the landscape, and freeing my arm. a bar of crystal across pickaxe turns purple-black in the bottom 2%, the rest still blue. my arm now free, i swing the pickaxe at all 3 of the chains, and the crystal fills to 6%. i then flash forward to the top of the obelisk once more, sticking the pickaxe in the sky and hoping there is enough time to absorb the energy, both for future use and to weaken the next boss thing.
I hope i formatted it ok

"Yeah, uhhh... Listen, I'm not trying to be ungrateful for you healing me. That was super helpful, but you sorta cut up yourself."

Ace walks around Auth trying to pinpoint where she could do some useful. She notes the cut, and its depth figuring out how she can fix it. She then creates a string of code and directs it through Auth's skin. Looks like she's taking the meaning of string a bit literally, the code loops through Auth's cut binding it together before dissolving in the flesh. The result is the skin quickly patching itself together, Ace nods looking at her completed work with approval, huh. Her and Auth have taken to the role of medic quite quickly while the others pump out damage at reasonable levels.

Auth quickly dashes over to Jest, still using Violant as his Inkscalibur Vein, and gently swings his sword in front of him. Even though Violant is normally a blood red colour, a purple-blue trail is left by the sword. It flies at Jest, entering some of his wounds and fusing them back together again.

You, Jest, happen to be more hurt than I. This should assist you in being better.

This is objectively false, but Auth doesn't seem to care.

Now, we should focus on healing up our entire party, before whoever Ms. Vertex decides to summon as a Boss arrives.

Auth uses his Inkscalibur as something to balance on, as he chooses his next target for Healing.

Ace shrugs helplessly, this whole scenario appears to be rather worrisome. She decides to focus on Lifeman as he probably needs some aid. Ace remembers what the Pharaoh taught her, and begins a ritual to Shub-Niggorath. She carves a circle into the ground around Lifeman and muttering something in a rather harsh sounding language. A light red liquid bleeds from the ground creating a moatlike formation around the Healer. The liquid rises up in little orbs and pastes itself onto Lifeman's wounds. The caked red liquid acts as a skin of sorts rippling in anticipation. Life Goddess meet Lifeman. Ace loathes calling upon their powers but she needed help and she thought of that first.

Your utterance of the term Voidic leads to a horde of members of the Abyssal team of the voidic vs. abyssal fued to appear next to the obsidian spire, before rushing you harmlessly, preventing you from harnessing the energy of the tower. That's probably a good thing.

Gold. as i sing, orbs of light gather and begin to circle me,in the order i say them. the red one moves around erratically, moving fast sometimes and sending off sparks while stationary others, while the white moves almost entirely orderly, occasionally creating elegant models of strange beasts, as soon the black joins in, and they move in an dance of sorts, which now resembles a battle, the black leaving behind transparent after-images whenever it moves back, before the yellow joins in, launching bursts of golden light almost constantly. after some time, during which a third, purple-black orb forms in the centre of their dance, the black is victorious, and the purple orb zips forward, cutting the black spark in half and absorbing all 4. then, I calmly walk over, before gesturing forward and the purple orb leaps forward to the centre of the disk, and as this happens, a thin blue line appears, connecting my stomach and the pickaxe. the purple orb arrives on top of the disk, and it rapidly contracts, as the orb swells. then a crack in the world appears, and a rift to the abyss opens. i speak to it for a moment, before it motions strangely, with an arm of pure void, and I nod. large chains of purple-black light appear, chaining me to the spot, before a beam flies forth, about to strike the pickaxe directly before 3 small orbs, quick yet weak, fly forward and surround the pickaxe. light glistens around it, the colour of bloody ground, before the beam stops, the light fades, and the pickaxe flys to my hand. thought the chains are still there, I can move my hand, and I bend it so as to touch the pickaxe tip to the chain. the tip contacts the chain, and it flows toward it, leaving a deep gash in the landscape, and freeing my arm. a bar of crystal across pickaxe turns purple-black in the bottom 2%, the rest still blue. my arm now free, i swing the pickaxe at all 3 of the chains, and the crystal fills to 6%. i then flash forward to the top of the obelisk once more, sticking the pickaxe in the sky and hoping there is enough time to absorb the energy, both for future use and to weaken the next boss thing. I hope i formatted it ok

You make a Voidic Pickaxe, with the Abyssal team of the voidic vs. abyssal team very angry about that. It doesn't really have stats, I just listed it for the sake of listing it. Do whatever you want with it, I guess. You then absorb the abyssal energy of the obelisk, before something flows in. Well, a lot of things flow in, space worms and beasts and daemons, but one thing in particular, some sort of broadcasting, purple mixed with a very light strain of amber mixed with background noise, hits.

Your body is obiliterated by abyssal energy, before a will hidden in void, a finicky force with a will of it's own, takes over. That will is on Vertex's side. Meet JOE, Armed With Abyss, an evil, hard to hit, clone.

"Yeah, uhhh... Listen, I'm not trying to be ungrateful for you healing me. That was super helpful, but you sorta cut up yourself." Ace walks around Auth trying to pinpoint where she could do some useful. She notes the cut, and its depth figuring out how she can fix it. She then creates a string of code and directs it through Auth's skin. Looks like she's taking the meaning of string a bit literally, the code loops through Auth's cut binding it together before dissolving in the flesh. The result is the skin quickly patching itself together, Ace nods looking at her completed work with approval, huh. Her and Auth have taken to the role of medic quite quickly while the others pump out damage at reasonable levels. "Now, we're both good. " 2/?? (+Jest) 1/?? +1 Trickle and Speedon

Auth is healed for 5 HP.

QUOTE (Sp33d0n @ (time=1482664355))

Not that I'm ungrateful for you healing me either, Ace, but I would've been fine. It was only a prick on my finger, I would've lived! Though patching up more major things is very helpful though, thanks Ace. Auth quickly dashes over to Jest, still using Violant as his Inkscalibur Vein, and gently swings his sword in front of him. Even though Violant is normally a blood red colour, a purple-blue trail is left by the sword. It flies at Jest, entering some of his wounds and fusing them back together again. You, Jest, happen to be more hurt than I. This should assist you in being better. This is objectively false, but Auth doesn't seem to care. Now, we should focus on healing up our entire party, before whoever Ms. Vertex decides to summon as a Boss arrives. Auth uses his Inkscalibur as something to balance on, as he chooses his next target for Healing. Action Summary: Auth heals Jest.

"Thanks a lot for the heal!" "I didn't really need it!" "But thanks anyways!" Jest runs at Auth and offers him to swim in a Fountain of Life, not only healing him, but making him younger, too. Why? Cause magic, that's why.

QUOTE (Revan @ (time=1482736701))

"I know, I know, I know, I just worry about these things." Ace shrugs helplessly, this whole scenario appears to be rather worrisome. She decides to focus on Lifeman as he probably needs some aid. Ace remembers what the Pharaoh taught her, and begins a ritual to Shub-Niggorath. She carves a circle into the ground around Lifeman and muttering something in a rather harsh sounding language. A light red liquid bleeds from the ground creating a moatlike formation around the Healer. The liquid rises up in little orbs and pastes itself onto Lifeman's wounds. The caked red liquid acts as a skin of sorts rippling in anticipation. Life Goddess meet Lifeman. Ace loathes calling upon their powers but she needed help and she thought of that first. 5/?? (+Jest and Speedon) 1/?? +1 Trickle and Speedon

Lifeman is healed to 5,000 HP. He also officially switches to ES because nobody likes Vertex.

Vertex stops rotating on the Obsidian Spire, and leaps off, landing right in front of the Pool of Blood. She claps her hands, and a star falls. She claps her hands, and an sun shines. She claps her hands, and a geyser erupts, before she chants, tongue whispering and shifting before a snake like beast appears, faces on it screeching, as it reaches up. Chains bind and bond itself to the pool of blood, and the array of obsidian spires, before it screams, a final chain reaching to the stars. JOE, Armed with Abyss, kneels down to the shackled beast, as one final chain reachs up towards the sky.

"Oh, Paris, I'm surprised you haven't vomited yourself to death!" Vertex says, taking out a knife, and waving it around. Paris simply stares at her, and the beast, which recreates a demented approximation of a chuckle. Paris thinks for a second, and imagines a sceptre, before summoning one, a cross emblazoned on the top.

Anyhow, meet the Shackled, a relatively simple beast. The Voidic Connection allows it to influence the void and do void things, including subsuming PCs that get hit by massive amounts of it. The Sanguine Connection allows it to call upon the powers of the dead in an endless gallery. Destroy the Spires, and Voidic Connection will fall, but the Sanguine Connection can not go down. If Astraris is activated, the Shackled will create a new connection, the details of which will be explained at another date.

Anyways, Jest decides it's time for the big reveal of RAWER!!!.
Stomp. Stomp.
Who's there?
It's me.
Who are you?
Only a giant mecha eye with enough space for four players, those players "coincidentally" being Revan, Speed, Jest and Joe. The players will be provided with shelter until the mecha dies. When it gets low the players will be released in evacuation pods. So if any of those four previously mentioned people want to take shelter, they can at any given moment. Jest will reside inside the mech at all times. The mech cannot attack, but Jest can.
OCULUS ΣIGMA summoned.

IT'S FUCKING RAW!!!^2: 11/25
IT'S FUCKING COOKED!!!: 1/25

+1 to Joe, +1 to Revan.

Ace decides that the immediate focus is to take out the Obsidian Spire Array before it becomes an issue. Ace plays by Minecraft rules pulling out a Diamond Pickaxe and mining the tower up with ease as it has been waaaaaaay overly enchanted. The Obsidian is smashed to pieces with a single blow. Well, looks like she isn't making an obsidian bunker out of blocks. She continues on destroying the Obsidian Array with nothing but brute force.Before her code cloak summons up several picks from her and begins mining away as well with thin strands of code. Ace eventually gets sick of the Array and just slams her code tendrils directly into it causing the material its made of to warp. It starts with a faint trembling as the dark surface of the obsidian shivers. The code tendrils then cause the thing to drain up the tendirls themselves. It flows like a river of black around the thin code swirling about as if the code tendrils were the center of gravity. Ace settles on
6/??

+1 to Jest and Auth

5/12 The Abyss' emissary
+2 tricklejest

EDIT: i guess i have to respawn? it said i had 10 hp when i posted before.
well, that was. . . interesting. i still have the pickaxe, so i should be able to absorb any energy of a nature Similar to voidic. abyss is close enough, for example.
looks like the emissary might come into play soon.
I begin communicating with 'JOE, Armed with the Abyss', keeping a respectful distance.
"hello".
"it seems we could do more as allies then enemys. that was the deal, after all. D o n t y o u r e m e m b e r ?"
"besides, you do not have what i will soon poses, for i was not yet done. you have 200 energy, but it will not replenish. you have 10 blackmist, but what have you enchanted with it? you have the animator as a special, but is it truly active? to use the blackmist you must forfeit the energy. the animator is a fraction of its full potential. simply put, you have little and i have all."
" you risk my ire?"
"you are a fool."
"he made the deal. did you not think he will keep it?"
"as i said. you. are a fool."
*the demon then makes their response. if they say yes (to joining me), then they will receive the emissary charge when it finishes, but will aid me until death or game end.
if they say no. . . a dark presence is felt.
also if they begin attacking Anything and didn’t say yes, I leap at them with my pickaxe and strike, absorbing chunks of their body and gaining power.

Probabal responce: 'what deal. we never spoke.'
if they say that, then 'oh, i must have mixed you up with the demon i made a deal with.
"regardless, you do not have what i will soon poses, for i was not yet done. you have 200 energy, but it will not replenish. you have 10 blackmist, but what have you enchanted with it? you have the animator as a special, but is it truly active? to use the blackmist you must forfeit the energy. the animator is a fraction of its full potential. simply put, you have little and i have all."

also if they begin attacking Anything and didn’t say yes, I leap at them with my pickaxe and strike, absorbing chunks of their body and gaining the voidic/abyssal/whatever energy they are probably partialy composed of.
(does being in the mech do anything other then keep you from dieing?)
IN THE EVENT THAT J, AWA declines, \/ \/ \/ \/ \/
i close my eyes. . . and a glowing blue outline of them opens.
from the eyes, a transperant copy of my body forms, the edges more defined, and it leaps out of the mech. it does not have the pickaxe, because i don't want to lose something that could be so potentialy valuable.
it walks out calmly. about 5 meters from the mech, the form becomes more defined, and leaps toward JOE, armed with abyys.
"heh."
it dances around, avoiding whatever retaliation J,AWA throws at it, dancing and fizeling, sparks scatering on the floor, before it reaches my clone.
theennn it pokes it on the nose. a slight change, the edges glowing brighter, before it backflips away, landing on the floor,10 meters away from it.
"did you feel that?"
" thats the feeling of me taking advantage of everything you just did."
"i hope you like it, cuz i'm not going to stop."
it flickers, and appears behind him, slaping his back, and says "oh, and i guessss theres also the part where i steal your energy "
the shape becomes more opace (how are spell), before leaping back to avoid the Very likely retaliation.
"NEVER underestimate my ability to A) make shit up and B) have planed for this already. who knows which one this was though "
the double continues to dance, slaping and stealing energy at every turn. after a short while longer, it leaps back, almost entirely opace (again, how spell), and lifts its hand. a sword appears, made of the same ethereal blue as the substance, and with it 4 glowing symbols in the air. right before the retaliation of J,AWA, my blue double dashes sideways, jumping just before it reaches the first symbol,and spinning off, slashing at AWA and leaving a glowing gash in his side. blue mist floats out of it, coalescing around the double in midair.
then the wound closes and my double lands on the second symbol,launching upwards, directly above AWA, who probably forms a blackened shield of blackmist around itself, before the third symbol moves beneath my double, and launches it down,where it lands with blade behind it, a large gash on AWA's midsection, and rolls forward, the possible shield shattered into miniscule fragments, and my double, 413 centimeters away, turns.

a great deal of bluish mist flows from the new gash before it, too, closes, and groups around my double before it is absorbed, the eyes gaining a promanance as their shade changes, to a lighter cyan/ bluegreen shade, and the final symbol, fittingly an omega, appears behind the blue figure, which lifts its hand. the blade disperses, and a blue-tinted steal bow forms in it, an arrow also forming, and the bow is pulled back.

my double releases, and the arrow flys forth, landing inside AWA's forhead. a new arrow forms, and this one flys too, just as fast, spliting the first. AWA staggers back as more mist flows from his wound, and the bow disperses, reforming into 4 small spikes seedlike objects, which launch forward as my blue double flicks its wrist, one hitting each of AWA's hands and another for each foot. AWA is pinned to the ground, and my double walks forward, slowly. as it does so, the 4 seeds meld, and split open, growing into a tangle of goop, poison, and vines, AWA helpless. my double arives and retrieves the arrows, carving a brain, split in two, with it (into AWA's chest), and some more of the blue mist drifts forth, before my double forms a final symbol with light, this one alpha, and jumps through it, flying into the mech. it compresses and shrinks, forming into a small, rather volatile orb, the last remains of its humanoid form closing their eyes.

i open my eyes, pick up the orb, and very carefully retrieve a small lantern-like container, droping the orb in. while the orb is still falling, i close the lid. 0.3141 of a second later, the orb colides with the bottom and explodes into sparks and shards of light, the sides of the lantern-storage cell glowing brightly, before i press my hand to it, 5 symbols appear on the container, and the blue light reforms into a small blue flame, spherical as if a star, and i place the energy cell in my inventory.

Razihel realizes that he is in this war, then summons a ball-pit's worth of sentient fully-upgraded Starbound Matter Manipulators. They then excavate the weaker parts of the Obsidian Spire Array in seconds. After a while, they self-destruct, taking some of the obsidian with them.

His next move is to pull out a Pickaxe Axe, and cleave through the Obsidian Spire Array with ease, following Terraria obsidian logic. He then returns the Pickaxe Axe to his inventory.
