I walk over to P2, and ask how i can help them, note that chances are they didn't need to bring that many troops (even just 2 of their forces members are stronger then the squad, and as such a trade is still an improvement tactically.), and tell them, in the interests of full disclosure, that I would like a large fraction of their torso,or alternatively one of their limbs, for a personal project of mine- however, I mostly do this because I believe my targets can regrow such limbs easily enough, and so if they in particular do not have the ability to regenerate body parts with ease, they should note it.
To say it less circuitously, I ask if i can help, think they're spending more effort then necessary on this venture, and ask if P2 has any difficulty regenerating lost limbs, just in case.
while I'm talking to them, I silently direct my energies towards the elemental control device, and encase it in a sphere of warped space, distorting it slightly and defending it from any attackers who do not notice it.

Alrighty, so.
the PG cloning pods got broke, right?... wait no those got deleted. well... I'm going to just assume there were some pods that didn't get taken for the barracks. probably ones in a state of disrepair. regardless, I grab them and lug them into the Facility. The Fabber quickly patches them up, good as new! then, I see how many of the souls in the soul net have come around to our side, in the tier range 2 to 3. any that have, I clone into being assistant researchers. now that there's an influx of new researchers, every 16 new squadmates will be accompanied by the creation of a new squad, probably... or just the elevation of another (random, weighted towards higher-tier souls) researcher to named status, occuring 2-3 rounds after each set of 16 arrives. i'll probably spend more actions on that later.
FABBER repairs cloning pod i dragged in. Steffan sees if he can improve the durability of future guard drones without increasing cost. Aron goes back to the stasis field thingymaggiger, james decides to start programming a... future project, and jason helps Aron.
I sigh a bit in relief and notice P2, I quickly create a clone and have my other self to talk to him.
"Hail to you, I assume that you're here for the Fire Elementals that are forced into our forces at the moment? If that's the case, I have no problem with releasing them for you, but how can we be sure that you won't attack us afterward? I think that you're an honorable man, I would like your word so that it may calm the more paranoid of our group."
I pause a bit on and wonder about whether I should say what's going on my mind.
"... Just a small question to sate my curiosity if you don't mind answering, how is the Godmodder's regime like?"
Meanwhile, the real me finally gets around to finishing the Healium Staff. Grabbing the solidified Life essence, I place it into an opening and focus all my attention into it. The Life essence soon overflows and begins to integrate itself into the staff as the properties soon merge and interact with one another, making it larger than the sum of them combined separately. Eventually, a small flash exploded from the merging of the properties as the staff begins to produce its own aura. I smile brightly at it, but deep down, I know that it isn't perfect and will probably never be due to missing out the opportunity of murdering to gain a genuine Lifegem and only using an inferior replacement.

Investigate what's on this level while everything else's about. As a side note, are the burning grounds and multiple instances of structural failure going to cause a collapse? What would happen if things did just break down? Looks like I might not need to suspend charging for long.
I suppose if there are some unsecured things about I'll go and save them from the fire with the power of inventory storage and/or fire extinguisher.
The cold wind quiets to a whsiper...
There is someone in the trials hall. A Wanderer
He walks over to the shivering Piono.
"Hmm... I wonder what set you off in the first place..."
He looks around.
"Well... it looks like you're our last shot at this working anyways... so..."
He pulls something out of his pocket and presses it against the forehead of the sleeping Piono, and sets them down on the floor.
As he turns to walk away, his eye catches on the screen.
"Hm. We'll need to look into this more carefully..."
He walks over to the screen and swipes his hand over it, removing the cracks in its surface, then pulls out a sword, and drops it through the portal.
On the battlefield, a sword materializes in the air, already hurtling at immense speeds. It screams through the air, not stopping in its path despite the fact that it is falling sideways. It acts as if it is plummeting through the upper atmosphere at the speed of a reentry spacecraft, and slams into METAL GEAR RAY with tremendous force, causing a massive explosion just from the force of impact.
The sword is nowhere to be seen.
Happy about finishing the Healium staff, I set it beside me for the next actions I'll be performing. If the RAY is still alive, I quickly amend that by personally dismantling all its plating and components.
Once dismantled, or already broken, I quickly insert blueprints of the RAY and the REX into my head and quickly deduce what parts of the RAY is re-usable. Pulling out my finally Near-Perfected/Imperfect Healium Staff, I run a bit of energy into allowing my staff to take other forms and immediately turned the staff into Healium Welder and began to weld the usable plating from the RAY to the REX. With my Staff capable of turning into different forms and retaining its properties, along with my head stuffed with the blueprints of the REX, the repairs and healing of the REX go Smoothly as new plating and extra internal parts just meld together due to the properties from my healium staff that was temporarily turned into a repair kit and the charge that boosted it those effect.

Just go if you doubt the Godmodder already, P2. If you want out of this, get out of our way, because right now things will end up in it.
To prove a point and because talking is a free action, I run over a shadow wizard with a hay bale infused with the highly explosive blood of a faraway story's clapper-bombers, causing the bale to explode and release a high speed cold iron needle into said wizard.
"Yeah, getting your teeth disintegrated hurts a good deal. I had hoped that a nickname was not a criminal offense, but taking into account the psychic induced headache I have I think the trials might just consider it one. I am going to try something really, really stupid now, but it may just work" Side note, of course I regenerated my teeth, though I suppose that is why that action didn't earn me any charge.

I start to float out in the middle of the void again, looking for a specific occurrence. I then see it. I see two universes, at the end of their lives, which both cycle through the big bounce model of reality. I quickly rush closer, as I see that they are about to turn into a singularity, and then say "DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TWO UNIVERSES BECOME A BLACK HOLE AT THE SAME POINT?.... Wish I had an audience." I then proceed to make just that occur, as the two universes, close enough to fuse without my help, just require a tiny pulse of energy dispersed correctly to fuse into one HYPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE and it proceeds to be a thing of wonder. It then becomes a singularity of an even greater mass than normal. I, personally, proceed to get out a little device, and start hammering in settings into a small keyboard that was only in existence now because I made it do so. (I will continue next action)
11/40
~~~~~~
I ask P2 what we can do for him that would result in him and all his forces peacefully departing and not interfering in our conflict with the Godmodder.
I proceed to push the device out toward the Hyper Black Hole, and it makes contact seconds before it would hit singularity in the radius of its actual mass. This is important as few know the exact time between singularity and Big Bang, but it is likely not an enormous time, so I will hurry up. The device, which now can be seen as an odd curved disc, which splits in half before energy starts to flash between them. The Black Hole Catcher just caught the biggest one possible.
To elaborate, a black hole is literally hyper condensed mass. Big Bangs are caused by a singularity hitting a certain point in its time span, creating a new Universe in the process. I just caught two universes worth of mass in the device, which caught it at a radius of close to an atom. The only things the Black Hole Catcher does is negate the event horizon, and cancel any movement within itself, basically acting as a stasis machine for black hole transport. I then pocket it, knowing I likely have two turns at most before the Black Hole manages to be simply too powerful for the stasis to last, as the one I used was a supermassive container, so it is impressive, but not capable of holding universes longer than that. Luckily, I only need one.
Having finished my internal monologue, I teleport myself with a nifty belt buckle that I totally am not stealing from deadpool or anything, and say "Sorry for being gone for a bit, needed to set up my attack. Also, to the Arbiter, yes, I am the Ender Smirk, but you can just call me Smirk to save time. I apologize for taking a bit to respond, I was caught up in planning and Godly Trial induced headaches. Those trials really hate people who give others nicknames apparently, even if The Nameless technically qualifies as well, as a name is just a word made up to identify someone. Whatever though, just hope the consequences of this whole bit doesn't get progressively worse and worse."
"Now time for quick introductions, since apparently I forgot to give them to you all How odd for me, but I guess anyone can err from time to time My name is the Ender Smirk, call me simply Smirk, or The Smirk, for short, and I am here to test reality warping powers I barely have any idea why I have, and attempt to kick the godmodder out of existence. My latest trick should demonstrate I should not be taken lightly. But first I want to make sure I have a clean shot on mister Oblivion over there, so I will let our warriors finish their turn of assault before I attempt my attack. Should be fun to see how he responds if nothing else."

Steffan looks at the Guard Drones, and sees that they are as good as they are going to get. Aron and Jason develop a working stasis field, and James works on his own thing, and Four clones are created. Metal Gear REX, Draco and the Winds of Destruction destroy the rest of the Shadow Wizards, Lunar Matriarch heals the I-Hand, Priest heals Matriarch, and that's about everything that's of particular note this round.
-3 PG Morale
+2 AG Morale
That being said however, you should reach a consensus next round on what to do. P2 does not look like somebody you want to mess with. Itinerary:
Come to a decision with P2.

hm... ok, I have an idea mr.fire person. what if I seperate their minds from Most of their bodies, and put them down in some lower-strength bodies? you can take them home, they can probably regenerate from the plane itself,and TOG (the guy who controls the magelings controlling their bodies) gets to keep his... bodyguards. what says you?
If fire-guy agrees, I do the thing, plucking their minds out and putting them in smaller flame bodies with defensive cores made of scraps of old guard drones, just going the extra mile to be nice....
otherwise, I shrug, then note that "If- a flash, and a vise of solid nitrogen clams shut on his shoulder-you're the kind of person - a movement of my hand, and the vise Twists, ice crystals flaking off it and the flames dimming in the cold air- who has trouble regenerating- the vise contracts, snapping off his arm- lost limbs, - and a dozen and seven more threads of glowing cyan twine rocket forwards, encircling the cut-off arm in a net, or a web- I tried to find out- threads poke out from sides of the cyan twine, filling the gaps of the net and hardly letting any light out, spinning lightly to stop precision infiltration- in advance, -and then it changes and the threads collapse in on themselves as if whatever held them up has vanished, like an empty bag- So really, This is your fault."
Specials:
- Each EoTB, a random enemy entity, due to impulsive "muscle" manipulation, will accidentally attack one of its allies as their EoTB action.
- Has a passive 10% chance to dodge, or rather, cause the assailant to impulsively miss.
The I Hand attacks a Brass Golem.
HP: 260,000
AC: 1
EoTB Actions:
- Attack an enemy for 15,000
Specials:
- Each EoTB, a random allied attack will hit the wrong target, but there will be a +50k boost to the damage.
- 30% chance to dodge, or rather, blink out of the enemy's attack.
The Z Hand does the same.
HP: 400,000
Attack: 80,000
Special: Element Roulette 0/2
Randomly chooses 1 out of 7 of its components and uses its effect:
"Mana": Revitalizes an ally entity, healing them by 50,000 HP and boosting their attack by 20,000 for one turn.
Strange Ball of Fire: Strikes an enemy entity for 50,000 and gives them a "Burn" status where they lose 20,000 each turn for 5 turns.
Evergrowing Seed: Creates a "Seed" entity with 10,000 HP that, when kept alive after 3 turns, becomes an "Overgrown Plant Monster" entity with 100,000 HP and 50,000 Attack.
Heartfreeze Ice: Inflicts an enemy entity with a "Heartfrozen" status which essentially freezes that entity for 2 turns.
Childish Tempest: Displaces 3 random enemy attacks, causing them to hit different targets instead and reducing each damage by 20,000.
Cosmic Storm: Spawns a "Storm Cloud" entity in between two enemy entities, reducing their hit rates by 40% and dealing 15,000 each turn. The cloud is untargetable, but only lasts for 2 turns.
Richest Soil: Buffs the Elemental Landmark's next attack to 200,000.
Element Roulette activates. If the result is offensive, the Elemental Landmark aims it at the Brass Golems. If the result is "Mana," give it to Minuono.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The sparks of electricity manipulate the Turret Controls as so that they will fire at the Brass Golems and not the Fire Elementals, unless the latter become hostile, in which case they will be fired upon.
"You couldn't have waited another turn for starting that duel, huh. Here, toss it at him if things look bleak, I'm using as much temporal energy as I can to keep it stable till you use it, and it is literally a container for a hypermassive blackhole (All charge I currently have expended). It works based on the fact he can't have infinite energy, and he has to have an equivalent energy to the object he annihilates to obliterate it as he has been. Energy=mass times the speed of light squared, and that is two heavily condensed and contained universes in a little containment unit, so he will at least be heavily depleted if you use it. You don't want anything you can't fix on the field though, as him destroying it may trigger it to go Big Bang, especially if he can't neutralize all of it. The godmodder wouldn't be dumb enough to have a warrior fight for her that she can't kill, so clearly his energy supplies are at least somewhat limited, or he has some other easy to think of weakness. As a side bonus, exploit that the full energy equation is E^2=M^2*C^4+momentum squared times C^2. Aim for light speed." That message pops into TOG's ear as my Black Hole Catcher warps straight into his hand. I am only able to do this because his duel is still not fully formed when I teleport it, but it should do something if he needs to weaken P5. Hopefully he can use what I taught him to his advantage. If not I have a back up plan once the duel is over. (My action went into teleporting the container into his hand so he can deal damage to that monster.) "Now I just want to say that I am personally all for allowing the quick and expedient return of your men... could you give me something to call you besides P2, it seems insulting to you and more formal than I like to be unless necessary. I, like Winkins, would love to hear some details of how the Godmodder actually treats those under her domain, to see if a peace accord may be drafted between us, representing those who like our current local rulers, and her. If her worlds are treated well then I do believe she is the nicest known godmodder, and so we may be willing to allow her her way if she is not cruel. it is only cruelty, and the stealing of hopes, which I cannot accept. I will attempt, once I can, to expedite the safe release of your men as a show of good will. I only have issue with people if they are cruel, and you seem personally quite kind, if slightly stressed. Please allow me a short time to see what I can do. I, after all, had no direct hand in their control device, so I will have to speak with whoever set it up, once I figure out who did, to negotiate their release. I am a relatively reasonable man, my methods for repulsing those on a warpath nonwithstanding."
