I hiss at my absence last round and pull out some of my Charges and pull it in front of me. I quickly visualize the shape of a moon and start molding the Charges after it. Lunar essence soon leaks out of the celestial disc before I quickly start to contain it around its form, the essence soon solidifies on the edge of the lunar disc as it forms its rims.
I example the soon to be shield-artifact and strapped it onto my arm. I felt as those I was carrying a moon... a small moon, but still, the mass of a moon. I heft it up and take the position of shield the Lunar Matriarch.
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 performs its pathetic 15k damage into the Terror Cow.
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.
The Elemental Landmark strikes the Terror Dog.

The Terror Mouse suddenly catches a case of the "25% chance to die-itis" where there's a 25% chance the Terror Mouse will just somehow die.
Entities Ordered. The Terror Mouse fights off this disease with it's enhanced constitution, beating the odds!
((I actually did roll to see if it would die, BTW. Rolled a 52.))
"Not too scary of a lady, but I am rightly terrified of her husband, as he can destroy planets by pointing at them and firing a tiny blast, by his standards, at it. My plan for power increase is based on gaining power similar to his, as I was referring to his first state, and his final form is able, based on feats of similar beings I have observed, to destroy the universe with nothing more than the energy needed to punch something once. And as I said, on that planet ALONE, he is the second strongest, and I think he may be roughly fifth strongest in his universe. I am seriously risking angering someone capable of casual universal destruction for this power increase. His name, by the way, is Vegeta."
Having spoken to one who will remain nameless to the public, in several ways, I start to move closer to one of the blips in space. I see a planet in front of me. The planet appears fairly new, and it is also where the signal is from. I pull open a hole in dimensional reality wide enough to put it in one of my handful of pocket dimensions, as I don't want to carry a planet around to get my goal. I laugh internally at the thought that I will soon be capable of holding a decent bargaining chip, should negotiations begin. The best part is that said chip, should it become necessary, is nothing but my aid.
I'll keep that in mind. Anyhow, you go and collect a planet?
Just so you know, I'm supposed to tell you that under the Colu Convention, the acquisition of planets in your manner is highly frowned upon.
Bite the Godmodder's lasering hand off and eat it, just to see what she tastes like. She'll probably grow it back, sure, but flavor confirmation is flavor confirmation.
What? Why?
My post, I do what I want. Whether it works is another question entirely.
Guess ARCOLOGUS will need to continue data accumulation to do much. Apparently.
You eat the Godmodder's hand, which tastes roughly like... Ice Cream?
As it turns out, you've only managed to bite off three scoops of her Ice Cream. She shoots you a strange look.
Yeah yeah, cut with the pleasantries disembodied voice. Wait... I'm talking to a disembodied voice... Meta. Hey, while you're here... While you're chattin, could you define ordinary, cause there's nothin ordinary about those... things. As he said this, the man pulls out a guitar case. He opens it up, and within you see a pocket dimension filled with instruments (but not necessarily the musical type). He then proceeds to reach his hand into it. No, no... Wait a sec, a giant horn... What am I supposed to do with that? Summon vikings? No, I can't summon two mobs that quick. Whatever. Nope, don't need that ocarina right now. Who even put a piano in here!? Come on. Ah, there it is. He pulls out a lute. He begins to play a medieval tune that was played by bards from the dark ages who wanted to entertain in hope of gaining money. It was also used as a distraction for local gangs who would pickpocket any listener that didn't "donate" enough money. Coincidentally, as the Godmodder listens to this bittersweet tune, all of her poptarts are stolen. Once done with his solo, the man on the platform pulls a poptart out of its wrapper and eats it Ha ha, I got all the lutes.
4/40 when will the grail return from the war (Using 3 charge)
I should get the Hakkerocalibur set up... I suppose I will spawn some bandages and with 3 charge, bandage up the Z-hand and cast a rejuvenation mantra over them. This is to grant them some temporary health regeneration and will hopefully counteract the bleeding.
form advice for brother Altrin would be appreciated, right now he's just an Arthur Prototype ripoff...
Unfortunately, you lack enough charge to summon the Lord of Flavourtown. You do, however manage to call forth a greasy sliver of his power!
Sliver of Good Taste Summoned.
"This is not the time for this Sundowner, you want money and I'll give some money. It's really not that hard, I can give you more kid brains if you want too!" Then I get pricked. "GAH ARROW TO THE NECK"
And I collapse and fall over, then get up. Ow.
As a housewarming gift, and some incentive, I rush over to Sundowner, slap his shields out of the way, I don't care that Jack can't break them, I just need to slap your chest with some nanomachines, son. Heal now please and thank.

I press a few buttons on a remote. This remote is marked with multiple biohazard systems (a hint!)
A high-tech coffin drops out of the sky and lands next to me. It too is marked with biohazard systems, and seems engineered to never open.
It's my high-tech coffin, though, so I input my credentials, move through the redundancies and confirmations, pause to make sure I'm in full hazmat gear, and crack it open.
Inside is a dead body, rotting away from a disease.
This particular dead body died from the Acid Plague, which is transmitted in more ways than you'd believe and causes your internal organs to dissolve into corrosive acid. It was also a project from an ill-fated coworker of mine. Unsurprisingly, he was its first casualty, but that's not important.
I did take the time before I sealed the coffin to neutralize the Plague so it wouldn't spread without consumption of infected tissue, but it festered in the coffin even so. Until now, that is.
I take the dead body, carve it into three pieces, and throw one piece each in front of the Terror Pig and the Monsterpigs. Being pigs, they swiftly devour it, and contract the Acid Plague. Their organs will turn into corrosive acid, which will eventually kill them.
You would cut up one of your own dead coworkers, in order to spread a disease? I'm sorry, but that's just wrong.
Everyone looks at you with disgust, but the deed has been done. The Pigs eat the corpse, and take 30k damage each, as their immune system fights off the infection in a matter of minutes.

The FABBER makes another guard drone. the guard drones heal the researchers a bit.

Steffan tries to make another guard drone himself (can he still do that? i forget. if he can't, he works on improving stasis field effectiveness). Aron continues his efforts to find a less-hand-wave-y power source. James notes that technically, their specialty is being loyal and, as such, those under his command earlier should have stuck around probably? James notes that they didn't really have enough time to bug-test the stasis field code, and their squad tries to improve its functioning- if successful, they should increase guardian spirit effectiveness to an extent. the Primal Guardian Spirit will circle the scientists, above in the air,and if anyone attacks my entities, it will use Blazing Charge (it didn't need to regen hp the round it was summoned, did it? should have 2 energy) on them, and up to 3 other such people.
I walk over to the templars, and decide to help out a bit. they see the portal expand slightly (either I add another 2 mines from the minelayer if the minelayer contains a mine generator, or i just magically make the portal open more), and out come some standard templar vintage/stone brick alloyed bricks. the vintage runes make them easier to build with, and has them snap into place more easily. the templars as such get to work building a watchtower, out of these bricks/

I activate a Seismic Pulse Device.
The Seismic Pulse Device will send out seismic pulses at a random time during each round's End of Turn Battle for the next three rounds. The AG team will be warned about these pulses and be able to react. The PG team doesn't get the warning, and will take damage as the earth shakes under them.
21/40 THUNDERSTRUCK Looking around, the newly proclaimed Leather Jacket Guy, or LJG, just now notices a P4. How he hadn't already is a mystery to everyone. Hey...! Kid...! Sup? His floating platform flies down to about where P4 is. So, Percy... Can I call you Percy? Nah, P4 just rolls off the tongue. So, P4, you wanna join my band. You'd rock. Wait a sec, I got the perfect instrument for you. LJG looks into his guitar case. Here we go. He pulls out an electric triangle and hands it and its wand (Yes, that is what it's called) to P4. Yup, this would be perfect for you. Well, play it. Once he hits the triangle with the wand, it sounds like a normal triangle. Oh, sorry. I forgot to plug it in. Gimme a minute... There it is! Okay, I promise it'll work this time. Just try it. If he hits it the second time, the speaker platform thing lets out a sound somewhere between a bell, a lion, and a horror movie. (Make of that what you will). Oh man! That rocked! Hey, how about you play a solo, and then I come in on the guitar. Yeah, that'll be sick. Okay. One, two, one two three four! Once he hits it the third time, P4 is shocked by 1.21 gigawatts of electricity, activating the mini flux capacitor in the triangle, sending P4 to about... the start of next turn. The floating platform, due to prior warning, then flies back up near the top of the barn.
I continue flying through the ether, when I see an odd congregation of aliens. I recognize the armor type. I quickly move to the nearest planet so they can't notice my inherent energy output. I watch as they fly past, before noticing someone in the middle. A white and purple, relatively short alien, with an unholy amount of sheer power, floats by. I see his tail, and know for certain who it is. It is moving towards the planet I gained the radar device from. "I need to hurry. I don't know how long till he will reach the planet. I will have to be quick." I suddenly notice that I will be trapped here for the rest of my turn, or have to fight my way out. I might be able to kill a couple hundred before I am caught, but I don't want to be caught at all. I instead decide to do something moderately useful. "Noble Praetorian, and yes, I am just randomly thinking of random ways to address you now. I would request you to press the odd button on the back of this communicator thrice in quick succession. I installed a secondary communicator in it in case it became required. If the Godmodder is not willing to speak face to face, give this to her. Out of curiosity, do you know much about your fellow Praetorians, or do you not speak much? I would like to know a bit more of why it is they fight. I know your reason, but I wish to know on the others' reasoning. I just was curious. Thank you for being patient with my chats. I know i occasionally ramble a bit."
"i know P1 was her closest friend for a very long time and would support her in anything but what everyone else wants is a mystery Abaddon in particular i have no clue who he is"

I cast [Flesh Regrowth] around the facilitiy(s ruins), giving all squadmates and the named ones gradual regen. also, i note that "consumes all mines" does not mean "consumes the ship they were on", and so the ship joins the guardian spirit in bodyguarding the scientists.
I noticed that the Commandos' flashbangs are prepped up and finished charging. While I do trust them, I don't know if they can throw the flashbangs to a good effect. So, I had each of the Commandos to hand me one of their flash bangs and began to target the ones I want to blind right now.
I look at the enemies and ponder on who will be more affected by the bang and flash of the flash bangs and put a list. The Dog, Mouse and Ferret would be good targets as they are more sensitive to sound and light...
I quickly decided who to aim at and prep up to throw the flashbangs in hand.
While I was doing that, a clone of me that split up at the start of my decision had convinced them to watch a movie with him through the bribery of food in a dark room. Popcorn was also had as it was a movie for gosh sakes!
By the time that the movie has ended, the room was pitch dark and the three animals have gotten used to it. However, that simply intensifies the Flash of the flashbang that utterly screwed with their sight and eventually the Bang of the flashbang echoed out, stunning those three animals from the loudness and due to their great hearing which led them to be further disoriented.

With my new Lunar Shield Artifact, I bodyguard the Lunar Matriarch.
Lunar Matriarch continues to heal up the Barracks!
Lunar Priest attempts to heal herself.
Clone Barrack attempts to spit out clone troopers with all its CU.
Clone forces continue to lay fire onto the Donkey.
The clone engineers once again look after the Barracks.
The Hen continues to warm the Egg.
The Terror Mouse is still not dead. The Godmodder sends a wave of Godmodding Energy at the Guard Drone, Guardian Spirit, Binding Stone, ARCOLOGUS HUT, FABBER conduits, Winkins, Lunar Matriarch and Z-Hand for 100k damage each. P4, being stuck in the future, does absolutely nothing. The Terror Cow Drives over the Binding Stone for 130k damage, while the Terror Pig takes a bite out of Mistral. The Terror Ferret dispatches Monsoon, and the Terror Mouse misses the Healer. The Terror Donkey kicks over GUN with it's two hind legs for 70k, and the Titanic Cows Drive over the Mageling Hoard, Elemental Landmark and a Riot Trooper for 100k. The Monsterpigs take collective bites out of the Clone Commandos for 60k each, and the wierd creature barrels towards ParadoxDragonPaci, beating them up as well.

The Arrow of Manifesting Spirit flies away.
The Earth shakes, as all PG entities take 2k damage. This causes the Terror Mouse to die.
The Primal Guardian regenerates it's HP this round, as more Scientists are created. Steffan makes two Guard Drones, Aron realizes that the Overfiend has announced their plans to make Hell a source of renewable energy, and Steffan increases the Binding Stone's AC to 6.
Minuono Steps forth to avenge his fallen compatriots, and cuts down the Terror Ferret with the assistance of the Hands. Ishmael sights the Terror Cow, and shoots it's Motorcycle for 40k. The Matriarch heals the Barracks for 50k, while the Priest heals themselves for 6k. The Clone Barracks creates 6 more clones, the Clones attack the donkey for 90k damage, and the Engineers heal the Barracks for 6k. GUN fires on the Terror Cow's Motorcycle, blowing it up and dealing 50k to the Terror Cow itself! The Landmark hits the Terror Dog for 80k, as ARCOLOGUS does whatever a giant moon computer does. Securitron fires on the Terror Dog, bringing it down, and the Ket drags away the Terror Mouse. The Healer heals the Melee for 60k, the Melee strikes at the Monsterpigs and Donkey for 20k, and the Sniper Overclocks the Melee.

I take out five pies, and offer to swap all their filling for the Godmodder's three pie filling. If she doesn't accept, I simply give my five pies to her as a gift.
Then I press the detonator. Explosive pies, great for parties. And by parties, I mean a Red Wedding sort of event.
Charge 18/40
---------------------------------------------------------------
The weird Terror creature, for some reason, feels sweaty. So sweaty, in fact, that it is starting to impede its movements, making it an easier target to hit.
6/40 Preparing for a split sure is boring.This peace is what all true warriors strive for.
My turn.Altera placeholder!No.Aww.
Still, sorry about healing the hand then, geez. Apologies to Krill but entity life should be respected. Perhaps you could dismiss them from the field instead?
While I'd like to make a godmodding energy accumulator so her imperious godmodding over there has to at least use some different flavored attacks, I think I'll save my charge for a bit (so someone else can do that). You heard me, GM.Maybe she'd have to read the update first if you didn't talk so loud.Shush, Ned. Fine, I'll do it now. Single action: Construct a godmodding energy accumulator so every time the Godmodder fires godmodding energy as an attack (as opposed to, say, attacking with almost anything else) the machine can absorb it (or for lesser output, miscellaneous aftereffect from ambient use of godmodding-type warp) for power the players can use.
ARCOLOGUS, initiate Kanon-class Attack Interception Procedure. Expend 10 DC on creating an entity with attack interception: rather than specific bodyguarding of an entity to take damage for it, it can sacrifice its attack action to proactively negate or reduce the damage of an enemy attack (say, the first enemy attacker of the EoTB, or the attack of a specific enemy ordered to block fire from). Shoot down missiles and knock away swords, with an anime swordbeams guy or something. Strategic Defense Kanon-kun? Maybe Tuxedo Mask.
I do a few stretches to unstiffen my once dead body and immediately teleport to grab my stuff such as the Lunar Shield and the Healium Staff, again. I head over to the Lunar Matriarch side again and call the Lunar Priest as well to do something...
Once the two Lunar Entities are together with me, I told them that we'll maximize the healing we can do for this turn.
After getting consent for my plan, I drag them over to where the Clone Barracks and Commandos are and immediately link them with me through the use of a charge to perform a ritual. Now with the basic bond link, I reach out and grab hold of their healing specials that within them and ready to be used this turn.
Then, I position us to form an equilibrium triangle as a circle from beneath us and had the Healium staff hovers over to the middle of the circle. In a burst of light, I merge the Lunar Healing charges along with my charge into the Healium Staff that began to pulsate and grow with a silvery glow. The glow stuck unto those present and went and start levitating us, but there was no sound of surprise as we were busy feeling the calmness and light joy that seemed to engulf us.
Eventually, the glow becomes blinding, but even so, those present, The Lunar Matriarch, The Lunar Priest, The Clone Commandos and even the Barracks as well, somehow shed tears of joy as they bask in the light. The Healium Staff that was still in the middle of all this was spinning and was the one that shined the most. It spun and spun and spun harder until it can no longer contain the mergence and refining of the two Lunar spells and in the climax stilled to release...
Lunar Rapture.
Lunar Light exploded from the Staff and washed over the damaged and injured as they soon experience Salvation and Rapture. Worried thoughts and terrible whispers were set aside to bask in the feeling of relief and bliss.
Of course, everything must end as the Fusion spell had ended. We all slump as though we received a tender massage after Lunar Rapture ended but we will ourselves up refreshed from the wounds for another turn in the battlefield. I, in particular, get back to Bodyguarding the Lunar Matriarch with the Lunar Shield until she gets a Lunar Sworn into the field.
(Grabbed the stuff that dropped when I died, took the Lunar Healers Heal Charges and merged them, made it got through the Healium Staff that made its durability drop by two to heal the Lunar Healers, Clone Barracks, and Commandos.)
(Orders!)
With my Lunar Shield Artifact, I bodyguard the Lunar Matriarch. Again.
Lunar Matriarch uses her To the Moon's Call to call in a Lunar Sworn.
Lunar Priest looks about to judge who she should heal this turn.
Clone Barrack saves up CU this turn.
Clone forces continue to lay fire onto the Donkey. Unless, if it's dead, they target the Terror Pig. Or any of the other Terror entities.
The clone engineers look around to see if there's anything that needs an engineer help.
The Hen decides to check up on the Egg's status.
You only pick up the staff this round. Such is the nature of Artifacts.
With your ritual, you heal up the Clone Barracks, Lunar Matriarch, Priest and Clone Commandos for 70k. Wow.

Drat, only the vintage FABBER conduit's left? I gift it to the templars. they'll use vintage in particular better then the scientists would.
Aron next designs a forcefield.
James programs the generator/drone interface.
Steffan builds a generator, and hooks it up to each of the guard drones, which probably raises deflection or something.
G.spirit will use the strongest available attack on whoever attacks my forces this round, if someone does.
---------------------------------------
Templars continue building their castle, but once they recieve the Vintage conduit, they set it to work creating defence glyphs as well, in a highly-advanced structure which is much more advanced then my scientists could accomplish. defence glyphs function like an AC you only get to use once a round, sort of.
I, on the other hand, walk over to one of the cows and point out that cows aren't shaped right to ride motorcycles,and since these aren't Terror cows, they aren't antrophomorphic. when this particular cow inevitable falls off their motorcycle, I take the motorcycle and the guardian spirit starts riding it with telekinesis. which it, unlike the cows, has.
HP and ATK are reasonable for the charge invested in them.
3 AC, regens 10% max HP per round
Three different options for basic attacks:
Machine Gun: a basic attack
Laser Gun: damage is lowered slightly; ignores 1 AC
Grenades: 2/2 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge

Rockets: 3/5 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge; AoE 3 (damages target, as well as entity directly above and below target on entity list).
Iron Godlem: spying, strengthening...
I cast clone inside the cloning vat, hopefully increasing the speed of cloning.
"It is not a planet in the literal sense. it is a jewel which grew a crust out of space debris. I just was describing its outward appearance. I am annoying a completely different group than the one you are thinking of grabbing this one. They have someone who is capable of casually erasing realities, making it as if they never existed."
Once the coast is clear, I fly to the next signal, carefully avoiding anyone who might kill me. I come to another planet-like object. This one, however, has a crater in it showing an orange gemstone coloration just under the surface, and at the center, upon looking through it, I see four stars shapes of red. I pull a similar trick to the previous, and make my way, having collected two of whatever I am collecting. 2-Planet sized gem spheres.
HP and ATK are reasonable for the charge invested in them.

Since Grenades ignore dodge, the Securitron uses them on the THING.
Ishmael bodyguards the Cloning Vat this round.
I pick up the shadowscythe.
"Hey, Ishmael. When you inevitably die... do you want to be God?"
Wiping off the condensation off the window of the vat to take a look at what's inside, Ishmael gives you a look of disdain. "You're cloning... him in there."
"If I die, I don't want to return. Not like that, at least. Just.... just go find someone else."
"Okay, second numerically out of the Praetorians, would it be okay with you if I referred to you by a simple nickname in my language? If it would not offend, I would like to call you Freedom. I would be fine if you gave me an ignan nickname. I do, however, have a suggestion. Sounds of a comforting fire, followed by a sound like lightly sizzling bacon, and somehow, the sound of a warm summer day. Unless I translated wrong, that is the sunspeak ignan dialect term Hope. Though I would understand if you instead decided to translate the term Fool for my nickname. I am curious if you could tell me what the names of your fellow praetorians are, relative to the number they are assigned. I am curious to put names to faces. I would also appreciate to know if the Iron Prince is dead, or just hiding after the beating given him by the 'Reality Warping Lynch Mob'. I just wish to understand you all a bit better." I finish the conversation, and am about to go after the next ball, when I get a tremendously bad feeling. I run behind 50 planets relative to my original position, and it is a good thing too, as a purple cat man with blue garb which is too odd for words appears, trailed by a light blue colored man with a burgundy outfit, and white hair, along side a blue circle around his neck, floating there. If it is not clear enough to you already, these are gods. I maintain my distance, and watch as the cat looks around. He becomes agitated. He then lets out a barrage of random blasts of energy, nearly hitting the last of the planets I hid behind. The rest were less fortunate. The blue man taps a staff he is holding down towards where the ground would be if he were on a planet. The planets are suddenly there again. I decide stagnation is preferable to death. I wait until they get bored. They too go in the direction of the planet I got the radar from.
"the name given to me by the godmodder is Avernus. i will bear it until this war is over, like the rest of her supporters. as i respect the privacy of them, i will not disclose any of their personal details. i will however tell you that P3 is alive and well, last i met him. you'll have to talk to him yourself."
As you hide from these gods, a warship bearing a Ʊ warps in right next to them. "This is a prerecorded message. You have just destroyed and recreated several planets. Under the new laws effective immediately, you are now required to submit and await trial for your crimes. Anything you do or say from this point forward can be used against you," says the voice issuing from the ship, as thousands upon thousands of robots stream from the ship's sides.
22/40 THUNDERSTRUCK LJG, standing upon his floating speaker (forgot if he was on it during the seismic thingy), thinks to himself Hmm... So, I've got some poptarts for later, time traveled a guy, and blew up a truck. Hmm... I got it! He sticks his entire head into his guitar case and starts searching for something. No. Not here... Not there... There it is! He grabs something a pulls it out. The thing he grabs is a scanning electron microscope and puts a piece of sheet music under it. He then starts humming, somehow forcing the protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atoms into formations that look like the music note shapes that he hums. The notes he hums are the exact same as on the sheet music, aligning them so that they match perfectly. (How the paper stays intact up to this point is still a mystery. Right up there with Bistromathematics) Ah HA! He then pulls out the piano I mentioned earlier (an excessive 20th century grand piano) and begins to play the notes. As he plays them, the notes start to glow different colors, vibrating in a quiet hum that matches the note that it is. He then slams his hands down on the keys, somehow causing each note to tear itself off from the paper. These notes begin rearranging themselves randomly, creating new songs at random. Hey, I'm all for the freedom to rock and all, but I gotta suggestion. He whispers his request to the notes. They then disperse, but come back to form a new tune around the terror cow. Interesting fact, cows actually have very sensitive hearing. So, when this cow hears the most annoying, high-pitch, repetitive song know to man, animal, and floating music glyph, it takes massive damage, much more than it would do to men, other animals, or the floating music glyphs themselves. After the cow either
a. goes deaf,
b. faints, or
c. dies,
the notes temporarily go quiet and float off into the cosmos, planning to enjoy this new life they have been blessed with. Rock out and be free little dudes!!! (IF the cow's dead, the notes target a titanic cow)
7/40
while the first cow is still surprised at being thrown out of their motorcycle, I take out a wand,and point it at them. "Accio. Repulso." these dual spells allow me to control its distance from me, and I proceed to walk around it and turn up the repulso while it's directly between me and another cow. then I turn up the attraction a moment later, battering the two and knocking another cow off their motorcycle. whack. whack. whack. it's like whack-a-mole, except not at all whatsoever!
23/40 THUNDERSTRUCK Interesting fact about LJG, he has a degree in law. You may be wondering why he has this degree and how he got it. Well, he got the degree because he wanted to be able to be his own lawyer whenever he was arrested. He got it by ignoring the homework but acing the tests because he had done every criminal offence listed by his tests. He also was able to give very good first hand accounts for his essays. This explains why he felt perfectly safe as he pulled out all of his bank robbing instruments. Now, you may be asking why he's robbing a bank, but for all of what the evidence says, he isn't. This is because right before he took out his bank robbing instruments, he used a cloaking instrument that makes him look and sound like the godmodder.
Now, with all of his prep done, he first flies as far away from the barn he can on his hover platform within about ten seconds. He then gives the speaker a command to go back to the barn. Right before the platform leaves, he time travels back about two minutes ago(without a license), right about when he was trolling P4. He then teleports (does he really need a way that he teleported?) to the planet Earth (teleporting as many times as he needs to). He then finds a bank and robs it. He makes sure that the security camera see that he "is" the godmodder. Next, he opens a hole in dimensionsal reality that is large enough to fit Earth, and put it into a pocket dimension.
Guess what time it is! Paradox avoiding time! He now teleport back to the barn and hides until he sees himself leave the barn to go do this. While he waits, he takes off his Godmodder costume and destroys it with his burning instruments. He then, while humming the mission impossible theme in the background, calls the time giant, Ruler of Earth, whoever showed up to the Colu Convention, and Earth's local police departments, and tells them that he know where the Godmodder is. He then secretly release the Earth as the godmodder does her attack, making it seem like the godmodder's action also released it. He also hops back on his floating platform once that gets back.
As you teleport yourself two minutes into the past and towards Earth, you trigger their planetary defense systems, and get shunted to another location: The Personal dimension of the Ruler of Earth, who is flanked on either side by a pair of Time Giants, who temporally lock you in place. "I said that I wouldn't tolerate any interference in the affairs of Earth. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to kill any of you. Still...."
Still sitting on his throne, he backhands you at the exact moment the Time Giants release their hold on you. This slap throws you three minutes into the future and several celestial objects, as you are tossed back to the battlefield. P4 returns from his brief time travelling trip, and seeing the shiny Lunar Shield, picks it up, and gives it to the Godmodder. After swallowing a scoop of ice cream whole, The Godmodder uses super-speed to run up and bash the Bind Stone, Lunar Priest, ARCOLOGUS, Riot Trooper, Securitron, GUN, Clone Commandos, Melee and Ishmael(dodged) for 80k damage with it. "AAAAAH YOU NEARLY TOOK MY HEAD OFF"
"I DID NOT THINK THAT THE MOON OF ALL THINGS COULD KILL ME"
The Terror Cow smashes through a Guard Drone, followed by the Terror Pig destroying another. The Terror Donkey destroys the Minelayer, and the Titanic Cows drive over the Primal Guardian Spirit, as well as Steffan and his squad. Oooh, that does not look pretty. One Monsterpig attacks the Elemental Landmark, while another defeats Minuano. The Weird beast deals 340k to the Clone Barracks, and then stops to take a breath.
+7 PG Morale
-16 AG Morale
The earth shakes again, dealing 2k damage to all PG forces. "Oh mighty شيء خلود, may your imminent passing cleanse the world.."
The Facility continues to make more clones, while the Scientists figure out how to create a generator based off of Steffan's notes, as well as a Drone Interface. However, they also find that the Gnerator lacks the power output necessary to create a viable forcefield. The Dwarf Gekko deal 13k damage to the Monsterpig from their unrelenting attack. The Lunar Matriarch summons a Sworn to her side, and the Priest heals the Melee for 10k. The Healer heals for another 11k, and the Melee and Sniper hit the Terror Cow for 65k. The Clones attack the Terror Pig for 15k damage, and the Engineers scramble to repair the Barracks for 6k. The Hen feels the egg about to soon hatch, GUN Makes Morale, and blasts the Terror Pig into porkchops. ARCOLOGUS, however, decides that it is more logical to join the Godmodder. It too is directed to join Project Apeiron, but not before leaving it's attack interceptor device on the AG side as a parting gift. The Templars build their castle, and add defense Glyphs to it.
Securitron uses it's grenades on the beast for 50k, and the Sliver of Good Taste, utilizing the Terror Pig, serves it up to every organic unit for 5k healing.

Bone-breaking laughter, except it breaks other people's bones. And by 'other people' I mean the Terror Donkey.
How many starbrothers born and bled today? (A pity to see you go, dear ARCOLOGUS. Farewell. May we meet as allies again in another land when this all ends.) More than you will care to know. Strive that you earn your place among the grand. (Understood. You could have told us what your Tipler oracles revealed, but...Ah. I get it now. Sayonara.)

~~~~~~~
I inject some fast-acting combat stims, then rush to one of the Monsterpigs and start throwing high-speed punches at it. Alone, they're not much, but I'm moving quickly (and wearing metal gloves) and they all add up.
After a few minutes, the stims start to wear off, and I quickly return to where I started.
"Technically speaking... that still makes them planets, but whatever. I think you'll find that it's harder than you think to pull off that stuff, Ender."
Ah, the classic Fallacy... oh well. In the meantime, I plant some C4 underneath the Terror Pig, which promptly explode.
I laugh internally. "I don't care anymore, this is worth watching." The purple cat man turns towards the ship "Hello, I do not believe we have met. I am Beerus, god of destruction, and you just found a really good way to die."
He then simply points his outstretched hand at the ship, and all of its robot drones. He then says, almost without any effort at all "HAKAI."
The ships don't seem any different for half of a second, and then, they all start to dissolve, ceasing to exist completely.
He then says, with a sneer showing very clearly that that was an unnecessary action in and of itself. "Your going to need a bigger fleet, along with guns capable of obliterating galaxies in a single shot, to actually scratch me."
I feel bad, So I give a warning, having scanned for their radio frequency to contact them. "Anyone of this fleet which intends to continue this fight, DON'T. Beerus, the cat deity which destroyed the planet, is capable of casually annihilating entire universes if he wanted, and the man beside him, named whis, is exactly 1.5 times Beerus's power. If you value yourselves, and your universes' lives, then leave before he grows angry at you. They have not even tried, and already annihilated the ship you sent here with ease. I repeat, do not engage, DO NOT ENGAGE. His power is like an incredibly potent variation on oblivion energy focused so well that the SOUL of the entity doesn't survive him. Keeping him calm and letting him fall asleep is literally the only survival tactic with him. DO NOT send anyone else. Ask the second Praetorian to confirm I am being honest if you are on the Godmodder's side." I then teleport to where the next ball is before Beerus can realize I am here, but leave an interdimensional recorder to be able to know what happens next. (Spoilers, It is a bloodbath if more entities are sent after him. The GODMODDER, may not be enough to kill this guy, unless she has been holding back absurdly up until now based on what she has yet done. She may be able to harm him, but only with a strength capable of annihilating ten or twenty UNIVERSES with each blow.)
(Help can someone help me find my charge)/40
Astrec observes the Ruler of Earth. He decides to investigate. He pulls up scan info for the The Ruler of Earth, Prime Earth, and Prime Earth's Timeline. The he drops down a Astrecbot onto the field to act for him, and teleports into Prime Earth's space boundaries. I come in peace! I'm a Descended! I want to visit Earth Prime. I have no interest in preforming any actions that would directly or indirectly preform negative things upon your planet. If anyone scans him for truth, they would find he is indeed telling the truth. Hopefully safe, he descends down onto Earth Prime, dropping down into Canada Home sweet home. Kinda. Alternate Home Sweet home?
The astrecbot screams about how machines are better and humans are inferior. It then informs the Game Master what the entity that they don't what it is is: a Godmodder-aligned zombie in a vat of holy water! (Yes, the vat is sealed)
Wherever ender smirk is...
The Voidship and drones are not destroyed, as a golden Descended aura materializes, blocking Ender Smirks attempted annhilatiom. Remember Astrec's ship from earlier? A small army of those appear, blocking the way of Ender smirk and helping the ships.
A glowing purple clone of Astrec appears. And grabs Ender Smirk. WHAT THE HELL. We do not need to get in trouble with the Voidic Authorities, you power obsessed twit! We're the good guys! And whatever you think, lemme tell you:
You.
Are.
Not.
God.
Voidic Authorities, I apologize for this Descended. I will help deal with this.
The clone advances towards Smirk angrily, glowing. If Ender Smirk tries to escape, Astrec uses The Clear Thought to shred through his mindscape, causing him extreme mental pain and paraylzation. Now, idiot. You are either going to surrender to the Authorities, or strifing is going to happen.
I await your choice.
I approach another planet sized object, but this one is even more obviously a giant orange jewel. I look within it, and see seven stars. I then proceed to pull out a random magic 8 ball. I throw it at the planet, and the planet instantly shrinks into the ball.
I then send Avernus a message. " If you are able, contact P3's fleet. Tell them that the man giving them the warning about the cat god is not joking, nor lying. I don't want to see how much carnage an angry Beerus will cause to the multiverse once he realizes they are not from the eleven realities linked to his universe directly. This is for the sake of every universe, not just any specific one. I don't know how many universes he can destroy if he tries to." I hope he takes my advice, as I really didn't want to see the Multiverse die today.
OOC: (I am using canon feats for the character to scale these statements, not anything else, so don't yell at me for saying he is ridiculous. I am being given access to a multiverse to deal with. Some of the multiverse is insanely overpowered. That is how things work out)
You attempt to make a quick exit, but Astrec strikes you with Clear Thought, keeping you from leaving!
Guys, stop fighting, right now. There's more at stake here right now.

James swaps to production/engineering instead of programming, and builds another of the stable rifts, which the templars place beneath their portal. as long as the projector is intact, the templar portal will slowly grain summoning ability.
Aron starts planning some way to replace lost members. also, instead of 4 clones, the cloning tries to recreate steffan or, if this is impossible, someone fairly similar to him, using his soul. if necessary, up to 5 charge expended.
I wave my hand, and four beams of purple scythe through the nearby wood of this "barn". it slashes it into planks, which float free as if unheld by gravity, and purple powder floats down onto the rectangular pieces in a peculiar pattern. then, it glows for a moment, brightens, dims, and fades to nothing... leaving planks of ironwood instead. one of the templars [templarorders] barks a word, and three or so humans, workers from the templar mines, come through the templar portal, walk over to the floating ironwood, and bring it back to the incredibly lazy and nogatu-like templars, who then bid them to continue construction of the castle. one of the templars guides the vintage conduit as normal, but the rest laze around, arrogant. [[this is only if none of the enemies have used magic, if someone has then the templars attack them from within their castle... but it's just animals, animal-maniac-man, the 'idontknowwhatthisis' and ... Whatever the godmodder does, i assume it's godmodding in-lore right, and as such not magic? anyway as far as i know none of the current enemies trigger the templars hatred of non-templar magics, their more intense hatred of elementalists, and their most intense hatred of dragons. if at any point you notice i missed something the templar should hate, have them attack it. or at least be petty towards it.]]
24/40 THUNDERSTRUCK Yup... That's what I get for stepping into a new comfort zone. At least I have my poptarts. LJG then, interestingly enough, does not start looking into his guitar case for random items. He instead looks right at his wrist, making everyone assume he forgot his watch. However, he then proceeds to take off one of his spike bands. Hate to waste somethin' this cool, but... He then throws it down into the ground. For a few moments, it looks like this did nothing, but then, as a titanic cow rides over where it landed, exactly 6 seconds after it hit the ground, a giant spike rises out of the ground. This spike then rapidly grows many more smaller spikes that then grow even smaller spikes, making it look like a metal tree. These "branches," assuming that it hits the motorcycle, Grow around the motorcycle, piercing vital points such as the tires or gas tanks. The tree then, for inexplicable reasons, falls, landing on yet another titanic cow. This, if both hits land (which is terribly unlikely), would most likely cause both motorcycles to explode from the impact, especially with the pierced gas tank.
This is no pun at all, I seem to have run out of them.
(While I'm not in a position to judge, you should probably just levelgrind Magic Materialization and spawn a set of Dragon Balls yourself. Making and fighting gods by indirection? Oof, shoot 'em at the GM.)
That said, since I'm saving hakkerocalibur, hihi'irokane ore, grace-nevril, and a number of other idea concepts for-
Wait. There's something I need to test.
((You said something along the lines of, once,
"You know what? You probably can just open all the prison door cells all at once.
This may just be a mental block of the Game Master, unable to comprehend the idea of people who can warp reality to do whatever they want.
There, an in-universe reason
Because ultimately, the Game Master just doesn't have the same perspective on life that a Reality Warper does.
That more or less make sense?
I can give you a comparison: the Game Master likes to play Basketball, but a Descended can literally destroy the concept of Basketball so that it never existed, and make the Game Master enjoy Soccer instead."))
but I am unsure of exaggeration toward the capabilities of a Descendant...and those who would both test for and block that.Let us test that.Yeah!...'
There is something quite like time that vibrates in odd colors, in another world. I wonder if that's how it works here. I weshush reach out.
I touch with scanning...not time, nor its guards, but the nature of that guarding and what lies beneath/beyond/「 」. Reach out and with the sacred profanity, check. Speak to the truth. We seek an answer for the question, from both Arbiter and the framework on which grows God and the world.
Though it is spoken in deeper sign-concepts than word and dimension can convey, endless treatises and libraries in the high-information-density worldwrite of witch-authors and the diacritic-laden multispeech of the squid, it can be boiled down to (with the assistance of that comparison in a higher reality), asking what retrogenesis we can beseech: what is our power of indirect creation and direct will, in addition to charge-work and numeric meaning that is all too likely the abstraction of writers.
Where is that strange boundary between it being so that we can have it, and the boundary for a strange convincing of reality it was always already there without asking first, and the boundary actually making it so by power and glory and charge, and then the boundary again for retconning and facing the wrath of time? If the Arbiter doesn't know, I shall ask their story.
Okay. You peer into the fabric of reality, looking through the higher dimensions. As you do so, my obervations begin to fail. I have no idea what you're experiencing now. It's all just a blinding, white light.... ОУТСИДЕР·
I give our side a Performance to lift their spirits...it involves Murdering Crazy Jesters....and also PIE
Silver of Good Taste to scout out the Terror Cow for new and fascinating Dishes it can make with it,mainly by using a Huge Knifebit got from Hammerspace
OOC: My intent was that they would be obstacles, and was planning on having to stealth through universe six because everyone was aware someone was after the Super Dragon Balls. I was also making use of this being a multiverse. And I was not fighting them off indirectly, the GM made them the targets of Godmodding forces. I am just describing a textbook Beerus response to someone not Zeno threatening him. The area I am in is full of dangers, I had mentioned that, the Ship angered one of said dangers by being, from Beerus's perspective, impudent. I have done nothing in that first post besides describe something. I did as much as describing that a ball fell to the ground when someone else said it was dropped. I didn't cause it. I just informed everyone that it happened.
25/40 THUNDERSTRUCK Hey, do you all know what the best type of metal band is? A METAL METAL BAND!
LJG, using his multi-dimensional locating and teleporting instruments (while hoping time was his problem, not space), goes to where the big fleet with the purple cat is. (You may ask how he knows about the fleet. Well, Ender_Smirk seems to broadcast everything he does over radio waves, making it easy enough to intercept with the right instruments.) Based on how long the Hakai theme takes, he gets an entire minute thirty. He then sneaks onto the big ship, using high power batteries from one of his... exciting wireless electric guitars, a small magnet, and a kazoo to charge the sound waves so that they become electromagnetic radiation. He plays the kazoo so expertly that he is able to recreate everything that is around him as light rays by matching the frequency of his sound waves so that they end up (after becoming electromagnetic) being the same color as the background, making him undetectable. Moving as fast as possible, LJG finds a computer terminal and downloads a copy of Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution (by AC/DC) into it. As the song plays it releases viruses into the computer's mainframe. This virus is based on a strain of the maverick virus from Mega Man X, but instead of causing reploids to destroy everything under Sigma's control, it gives control to all robots to whoever looks the part of rock king (Needless to say, this world's Rock was very heavy metal). This virus, being as it is, corrupts any robot still in the ship, giving LJG control of the ship because of his natural disposition to the genre and loosely used title of Heir to Rock. He then steers the ship out of the way of the Hakai (if that's gonna happen). Once I steer the ship out of the way, LJG find wherever the Ω and replace it with a skull.
(For anyone paying attention, if this fails or the Hakai lands, LJG is going down with the ship. He knows that he's at one HP, and will just come back anyways, no harm done. Really, everyone knows to keep a copy of their skull that your sentience can travel to and make a body out of in their guitar case, right?)
The moment you step foot in the warship, you come face to face with a muscular man in a lionskin cloak, his muscles literally rippling with electricity. He looks at you dead in the eye, and points in the direction of the door. "͢I̵ don̨'t͡ h̡av̀e tim̕e̢ ̧fo̶r ̵t̛his̷. Le͜ave̷.͜"̶
You do so. ДО НОТ СЕЕК ТО ЦОНФОУНД ШЕ WХО СИТС БЕХИНД ТХЕ ТЕРМИНАЛ·
I let loose a torrent of sweat as I see how low my Barracks and Lunar entities are close to dying. Even so, I hold up my Healium Staff and use it create some fast acting and nutritious food ingredients. The staff then goes through multiple forms like a kitchen knife, frying pan, and other cooking utensils as I use it to bake some sweets and other quick to go snacks and hand them over to the matriarch to enjoy and heal herself it.

I shut down the Seismic Pulse device by opening an emergency Water Portal inside of it.
And by emergency Water Portal, I mean a portal whose other end is at the "lowest" point of the Elemental Plane of Water and whose aperture is ten meters wide.
شيء خلود will drown if I have anything to say about it.
You shut down your Seismic Pulse device with water! On the other side of the portal, a winged creature of unknown size, and a face consisting of a mass of tentacles holding a trident sheathed in a golden light watches.
UMMMM, warning, the Hakai doesn't give you a revive option, your soul is destroyed. no revive, no nothing you are dead. give yourself a teleporter in case you can't initiate warp fast enough to avoid the Hakai energy. Also move it to a place filled with PG if you want them dead, because Beerus will be hot on your trail instantly. Just run is my main point, as Hakai just annihilates utterly whatever it destroys, as in complete cessation of existence. I just wanted you to know what you were doing.

1. @DCCCV LGJ is definitely very glad he isn't vulnerable (He is raiding a ship now. Vulnerability is not useful for that). However, he is a man of reason, having, as mentioned earlier, a degree in law. He understands that he was acting both recklessly and out of character based on his values before. Basically, no hard feelings. By the way, not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but if LJG is no longer vulnerable, does that make him invulnerable? (Just kidding)
2. @Ender_Smirk In case you didn't read the parenthesis, he has a skull in his guitar case that can regrow his body as long as he releases his conscious. Even though he is a crazy rocker, the rocker bit is top priority. He could probably transfer his sentience in a millisecond, which he would do the second he hears "H" of Hakai. His body's at one HP, not his soul. Of course, his plan is totally gonna work
, so he doesn't need to worry. The ship does seem to be able to move at FTL after all.
Astrec watches Ender_Smirk. ...that's it.
You're a idiot, Smirky. Ya know that? And I do not like idiots. Especially reality warping idiots. So.
I'm going to, to-
Astrec takes a breath in, calming himself down. You know what? How about we strife? You, me, and a fight. No restrictions, you versus me. Setting: A un-inhabited wild plant far in the Void, ungoverned.
I'll prepare. See you there. If not, I'm still going to try and stop you. Seriously, you're insane. You need to be stopped, you and your gods. See you there, Smirky.
Astrec's clone poofs away in a flash of light, leaving a slip of paper with the coordinates of the planet....
-=STRIFE PREPARATIONS=-
Astrec re-appears at the battlefield, well, actually his mind-clone (purple him) does. Time to get ready.
He strides over to the Grand Alchemiter, and concentrates, creating a dome around it, protecting him from the sounds of the war. Then, he gets to work.
First on my list, breaking the laws of swiss army knifes. Are those laws a thing? No idea, breaking them anyway. *whew*

He slips on Thief's Grasp, grabs the Swissarmyknifemodder, which transforms into a godarm, which he equips, and then he heads off to prepare for battle. He teleports to the planet, and waits, making some last minute preparations.
The Grand Alchemiter spews out a giant ball of smoke and flame at the PGs in protest of being abused.

You rejoin the battlefield, and use the Grand Alchemiter, bringing summoning forth a large number of objects in the process. Two items fail to appear, the first being whatever it is you called the Armistyx, which simply doesn't come, and Piono, which when you tried to summon, responded with a burst of blue energy. Despite this, you create the Swissarmyknifemodder, as well as your Thief's Grasp.
As you revel in your success, one of the items you brought forth begins to shake. The Curse of <0> disperses into countless red squares, as it reassembles itself into a large, six-winged, six-legged insectoid body. From where a head should be, a long stalk sprouts out. At it's tip is a large, gel-like, unblinking eye. As it focuses for a moment, two runes of chaotic energy manifest on either side of it's eye. The creature flaps it's many wings, lifting off the ground. I SH<0>ULD THANK Y<0>U, HEX. F<0>R N<0>W I LIVE <0>NCE M<0>RE.
Um, Astrec? Do you know who this is?
"Why am I an idiot? I went to a dimension with insanely powerful creatures to attempt to gain a power increase, how does that make me an idiot? Everything else besides me avoiding confrontation has been other's attempts to do damage to one of said creature's natural conclusion. Me being here had no bearing on that in the first place. Or are you accusing all of my actions of being idiotic? If so then I can see that to a small degree, but not to a large one. Also, Why are you drawing attention to yourself and me while we are in that universe? Also, Beerus is a natural part of this universe which, if you couldn't tell I HAVE BEEN AVOIDING LIKE THE PLAGUE! I AM TERRIFIED OF HIM, AND I WAS JUST SLIGHTLY ENTERTAINED THAT SOMEONE THOUGHT THEY COULD CAPTURE HIM WITH A SINGLE SHIP. FOR REFERENCE, replace BEERUS with GODMODDER. That is how ridiculous their plan was. He is not my god, nor is whis, even ignoring the fact that Whis is an Angel if you want to be technical. I am just watching a fight unfold, and I have no sway over Beerus. I didn't summon him, or anything like that, I entered his home field, planned to avoid him, and then these suicidal godmodder drones attacked him. I described the result to everyone. END, OF, STORY. SO please, do not force me to fight you. I will if I must, but I do not want to at all. I am a man of peace when I can manage, these situations just require more fighting than I would like. I hope you can understand, but if you cannot, I will see you at your plant. I just wanted to clear that up."
(If you couldn't tell this is insane levels of IC speech, so reply in kind or I will be forced to ignore you. Also, your ideas, though occassionally pretty cool, don't constantly work perfect either. Please do not decide to attack my character for a stylistic issue, or being in character, or using the fact that a Dragon Ball dimension was statistically fairly probable in a multiverse. I see no reason your character should care about Smirk as of now, unless he hates merciful action towards the Godmodder's forces, or hates those who want to hear both sides of a story. They haven't even been at the same place at the same time before for crying out loud. Sorry, but I felt the need to rant a bit. I will respond appropriately in character next round.)
Davis: I appear on the field, accompanied by two custom genetically-engineered anime girls, who happen to be my assistants. Say hi. Miki: hey. Yuzumi: hi! Davis: Wait up, I'm gonna go attack some terrors. Davis: I ask the Terror Cow if he's heard of the recent discovery of a second order of Sugon-Bophades knots. What are the Sugon-Bophades knots, you ask? Well, why don't you SUG-ON BOFA-DEEZ NUTS! I shout, presenting a pair of metal hex nuts. They are also made of highly deadly polonium-210. I shove them down the Terror Cow's throat regardless of what it does. Miki: you know what, for a ligma joke, that was legitimately impressive. Yuzumi: twenty-two charges. wait, when did we get this much charge? we just got here, didn't we? or am i forgetting something?! Davis: Don't question it.
To quickly follow up with prolonging my entities lives, I man the Clone Barracks to crank out a Riot Trooper and 2 more normal Troopers. As soon as they came out, I quickly geared them up and placed them in front of the barracks to tank any attacks heading towards the Barrack.

I look at the binding stone... goddarnit! it keeps taking damage, but... no, I have to do other things first. things are falling apart, but... nay.
Ahem! originally, there were 60 scientists, or 56 squadmates, james, jason, steffan and aron. now, that's 1 more named per 15 scientists. and so, of the... how many? well, that's gotta be at least 12... of the many squadmates cloned- definitely at least 12 since there's 6 unharmed in each squad, and probably a few got cloned before the godmodder did the sidespace-destroy, so a new named scientist! whoever the most skilled, knowledgeable, or otherwise exceptional member of this group is, they are selected and granted a name. probably not a fitting one, but past experience says there's a 25% chance of them getting a fitting one (Jason got his name because .json is a file extension iirc). we'll see. make their role whatever you want, DCCCV!
((Sorry bout that! Will try and fix stuff) I'm mad because you're a descended. A descended is a hero! And yet you come prancing along smashing up planets, and throwing around gods! You're aggravating gods to get some stuff you could probably get quite quickly with descendant powers, and then not doing anything to stop said gods with your powers! You're descended!
Astrec stops for a moment, thinking *sigh* Ah whatever. I'm being a idiot, aren't I? I'm sorry. I got a "bit" carried away. Part of my point stands though: Act smarter with this. Stop those gods, don't aggravate any more, and use your powers. My offer for a duel still stands though. I wish to see the result of a battle between two descended.
Astrec alchemizes some more stuff because why not:
Ring || Concentrated Creative Energies && Reality Magykks && Godmodder Plushie && Reality Rune && Magykks of every Elemental Plane = Re Orbis
Re Orbis: A pulsating yellow ring supercharged with reality energies. Multicolored energy flickers around it, and small surges of flashing lightning weaves around it every so often. The Wearer of this ring gains powerful reality warping abilities, and enhances all powers the user already has. Stacks with Descendant powers.
Potion Bottle filled with Water || Awakened Red's Potion && Stoneskin Potion && Regen Potion && Elemental Brew && Speed Potion && Agility Potion && Reality Potion && Teleport Potion && Luck Potion && "Fizzy" Potion ( w h y ) && Superhuman Serum && Dream Potion && Mindscape Dweller's Potion && Apple Juice && Zeus Potion && Godslayer's Drink && Bulletproof Potion = Descendant's Draught
Descendant's Draught: A immensely powerful potion that grants the user incredible buffs for a very short period of time. Will require more effort to make again. Only usable by vulnerable players. After use, you are vulnerable to attack, even if you are not using a artifact, for three turns. Has enough for two uses.
He equips Re Orbis and stuffs the draught into a literal pocket dimension.
METAL GEAR GUN: Combat Operandi: Beating the shit out of those motorcycles!
Astrec summons up a book titles Pulchritude: How to harness, and begins to read...

Astrec tosses a boombox at a Motorcycle, then preforms a Swissarmyknifemodder Slash Dash at it.

((This is your third action. It has been nulled.)) The Godmodder looks at the new creature to the battlefield with confusion. "....I'm just not going to touch that. At all."
She then goes to punch the Healer(Damage Reduced), Melee and Ranged for 80k damage each.
The Terror Cow goes over to deal another 100k damage to the Healer, while the Terror Donkey kicks at the Templar Castle for 55k damage. The Titanic Cows drive through 12 Clone Troopers, and the Monsterpigs roll over the Dwarf Gekko Hands, and the Lunar Sworn for 60k damage. The creature stops to take some breaths, before moving to toss the Lunar Priest up, up and away.

It then wraps it's wings around it's body to shield itself, all the while still floating in the air.
...
The Primal Guardian sulks, as it regenerates and gains some Energy.
James switches specialties and strengthens the templar portal. The clones attempt to remake Steffan and succeed, recreating him, but causing the cloning machine to die in the process. Still, he's back now. 5 Charges, 16 souls consumed.
The researchers then go and rearrange themselves.
The Lunar Sworn goes to strike at a Monsterpig for 30k damage, as the Lunar Matriarch heals Securitron for 50k, and the Priest heals the Matriarch for 10k. Ishmael takes a deep bow, as the cloning process completes, and deposits a fully grown, naked man with white hair onto the floor of the battlefield. The God Clone lies on the ground, not moving. "...To be honest, I don't know what I was expecting."
The Healer defects, to PG, and moves to the other side. The Clone Troopers aim and fire at the creature, and burn off 60k Hp, while the other clones bodyguard. The Engineers heal the barracks up further for 6k. GUN unleashes Hailstorm, ripping through the Creature for 120k, and dealing 20k to the Terror Cow, Donkey, and Monsterpigs.
Three miners emerge from the newly-strengthened Templar portal.
Securitron fires on the Terror Cow for a further 25k damage, and the Sliver of Good Taste finishes it off.

HP and ATK are reasonable for the charge invested in them.

Three different options for basic attacks:
Machine Gun: a basic attack
Laser Gun: damage is lowered slightly; ignores 1 AC
Grenades: 2/2 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge
A bonus attack that can be used at the same time as basic attacks:
Rockets: 3/5 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge; AoE 3 (damages target, as well as entity directly above and below target on entity list).
Rockets and Grenades both ignore dodge. The Securitron Mk.II uses both (Rockets is still a free action for it, right?) on <O>, damaging several wings.
Ishmael begins bodyguarding the Securitron.
I give the cloning vat to JOE.
I cast identify on that butterfly thing. Looks tamable.
I also blast the butterfly with some fire, melting the butter.

Let's see, what is this thing... ERRR: NO DATA EXISTS
...Well, this is worrying.
Fire Elementals added to the field.
The blast is absorbed by Wing 1 for 28k damage.

[Haha! I have removed the line that separates my charge from my actions, as well as the word "Charge" that indicates that the numbers up top represent my charge! Writhe, you worms! Writhe in slight discomfort as you waste 0.5 second trying to figure out what the top numbers are, and another 0.5 second figuring out when you have left the "Charge" section! And that's not all! Wait until I get an entity in, and you shall all know slightly increased discomfort!]

TOG gives me the vat, which is now also bodyguarded by the guardian. I then take a tiny flake from the stasis'd P5 parts (using space magic to disconnect it, instead of force, so it doesn't require unstasising), and find their DNA equivalent. then, I take some DNA from the herald arm, the Godmodder leg, and the IP's Leg, and I splice it all together. then, I set this to start growing in the Vat. this is my action as well as the vat's.
ENTITY ORDERS:
James and Steffan work together on producing...a bunch of guard drones! don't look at me like that, they need something to put colt's weaponry on and I don't think putting it on a magical serpent made mostly out of telepathy would work all that well. Aron recieves new orders: start figuring out how to make fish-people. Colt tries to figure out ways to outfit the drones with weapons without increasing cost or reducing durability.
Honestly, the miners are only here because the templars are snobbish, arrogant and lazy, but since they are, they fix some of the holes in the castle. the templars ooze more clay. enough clay, in fact, that by now they have enough to make one or more templar guards out of it, probably! they do so. the vintage fabber conduit endeavors to raise the glyph class.
Primal guardian spirit will:
If attacks can be queued(IE: if, since it never got to retaliate for the times it got attacked, it can do said retaliation now instead), then it will blazing charge... lets see.... the godmodder attacked it once, which translates to the if it can't hit the attacker (high dodge, high damage resistance, being-the-godmodder-or-a-P-ness, plot), it will instead target something it can hit from their side Clause. on the same round, all titanic cows attacked the spirit, and the terror cow and a pig attacked guard drones, and the T.donkey killed minelayer. at the moment, 3 titanic cows and the terror donkey are still alive. blazing charge caps at 4 targets, so that's who it hits, if attacks queue. otherwise, it will blazing charge anyone who attacks my side This round.
Splicing the DNA together, you find find some very interesting properties. P5 has no DNA, P1 has been stripped free of any "Junk DNA", The Godmodder's cells are incredibly old, and the DNA found off of the Blackguard's leg is from three different people: One heavily damaged, one identical to that of the clone TOG just made, and yet another that has nothing in particular noteworthy.
REAL P<0>ST:
Astrec stares at the thing in terror and confusion. What the hell is it? Uh, wh-
And then memories flood in, of another time. another him. Of a planet of wood. A man of purple. Of <0>. With a screech, he shoves these memories back. What are they? Another timeline.. the being called him hex...
No time to think about that. Now? They have to kill it. He searches his new set of memories... a memory comes to mind of a thief, who wielded a key. The key that he had found as a dusty relic. The same key he used in the knife. He gestures at the butterfly. "Purge!"
The butterfly is hit by the power of the Entropic Key!
Astrec does the ring and potion alchemies.
Gun gives the animals hell.
Astrec sits down, and meditates. He wishes to harness Pulchritude, to learn its ways.... He searches his new memories, and "remembers" Salvation, and the Thief's words. He concentrates, and a small white flame appears. He stares at it. He can harness Pulchrit- KRACKOOM! The flame explodes, sending him flying backwards. He gets up. He still has work to do, it seems....

(BURNING 30 CP) I summon from my home plane/universe a powerful arcane artifact: An opulent necklace housing a copy of the mind of the wizard who created it. This is an older copy, so the wizard in question is a bit behind on everything thats up, but their intellect is as high as ever.
I place the artifact over the Godbody, and the archmage Auma instantly takes control.
With a few spells and a quick telepathic communication between us, God!Auma is made fully aware of the situation, as well as the abilities he now possesses.
I scry on the IRON GOD yet again to see how he's doing.
Auma has been placed on the God Clone! Damage Boosted.
Your IRON GOD has hidden itself within the ranks of several other iron Golems. He may be about to be shipped off to a battlefield via fire gate.
I fly off to the next dragon ball, as I am not being subtle or anything anymore now. "Flaming Flapjacks, I would like to inform you that the the guy your action nullified can the destroy any universe, so, good job I suppose. Don't know what killed him, but we should probably prepare for that to attack us next. I don't know how strong it is, or if it just has tricks to avoid Ki based defenses, but I don't want to find out without a significant boost. I am going to finish my little quest line, and follow up by helping with whatever that thing you accidentally summoned was."
With that, I run to the next Dragon Ball, the 1 star ball. It floats into my magic satchel before I run to find more of them.
I then catch sight of Whis in my camera bit's connection. I see him talking to the captain of that ship. Now he just banged his staff on the ground and Beerus is suddenly back again. That staff is capable of time shenanigans if that wasn't clear. He then forces Beerus to just deal with the consequences of his actions.
OOC: (This, just so you know, is basically the only way Whis would react, I am simply describing accurately how the characters would react. If there is an issue please PM me DCCCV, but I am simply trying to faithfully describe them as close to how they would act in the source material as I could I am, if you could not tell, a Dragon Ball fan, so I wish to not have them interact inaccurately. Check the wiki for info on his powers Here. I didn't make any of this bit up.)
Edit OOC: ( Just in case I didn't make it abundantly clear from this point forward those two cease to be plot relevant in any way shape or form. I just know how Whis would react to the scenario so I mentioned it. React how you will, I was simply meaning that Whis effectively forced Beerus to come quietly. I don't care about it more than that, I won't do anything else with them anyway, no one needs to lecture me on the OP scale or anything, that was, at worst, Beerus using his only layer of plot armor up. I don't care past that fact, so he either dies again rapidly or is taken to Godmodder jail. Either way he effectively no longer exists in the DTG plot, so that is about all of that.)
How about I spawn a face-activated explosive Anti-Terror Coyote, smash my face into it, and throw it at the Terror Donkey, where it explodes like a grenade
That butterfly...Even the Godmodder...
/sidenote
On my authority as pending-split of one who can see beyond the wall of this world, I give you two words: Hezecrusher Fallacy. (That dishonorable Lord Nedben or someone else here can direct you to the Discord if lengthier explanation is needed, but I shall do so here.)
The authority of insertion is limited. While we can use any attacks we want, providing them the meaning and power of their original intent is...often less possible than it looks, never mind gaining the actual effects. Most likely, Lord Beerus did not 'exist as the intended thing', at least perceptually. You may be remembering an idealized version from a fictional or distant existence. Such summons from the depths of fiction or beyond are imperfect, especially done so indirectly. Had he been 'an existence which worked as the previous' there simply is wordless rank among warpers of reality, such that some can do more faster, or overwrite the work of others in direct contests of power, and in that he was outranked. We are not even at the level of essentially omnipotent, mind you.
As a second note, two more words: OP Scale. There is (or should be, provided Goldvine remembers correctly across the worldwall, a not necessarily true guarantee at times like these) usually a limit to what can simply be on the same field as the Godmodder, such that many things which initially appear stronger than she is are simply barred from entry to the field of play, or what does enter is debuffed to such a point they are not stronger after all (perhaps to the point of comical weakness). Attempting to make something stronger than the Godmodder will be met with explicit counters against things that are stronger in general, and she likely knows more ways to get around debuff immunities than we do.
That aside, don't expect things to work as intended so easily.
The Anti-Terror Coyote Rips apart the Terror Donkey, ending the Terror Boss Rush! The Godmodder takes 2 damage in response.

26/40 THUNDERSTRUCK As LJG leaves the giant spaceship, he realizes that he doesn't know what he's doing. He turns back to the spaceship and locates ??? (If he can't find him, he steps onto the warship. That'll find him). Hey... so about my alleged attempted robbery of your cool spaceship, I would like to say that I don't think you can blame me. I mean... It was a perfectly rad spaceship that looked like it was gonna get wrecked. I couldn't let that happen. Here, now I've gotta proposal for you. Please take a seat. LJG quietly hums Hotel California. Suddenly, two chairs that fit each occupant appears behind them. LJG's is, of course, a bit more like a metal throne with skull decals and spikes than a lounge chair (gotta fit that ego somewhere) Now, you know that I know that some idiot let me have and keep reality warping powers. This means that I am a real nice punching bag. I can just get back up over and over and over again. So, you attacking me isn't gonna solve any problems, ya hear. Now, I was never really interested in your ship. You seem to like it clean and rock free. I don't get that but whatevs. What I'm really interested in are those robots of yours. Now, if you give me... Let's say three robots that I can modify, I promise to leave you alone and attack Captain Binary over a couple dimensions. I mean, you have thousands. I also, in this limited time offer, will give you any one musical instrument you want, free of charge. So now, ???, are you down for that? LJG holds out his hand, waiting for him to shake it (hopefully not off).
Action: While the negotiations were going on, LJG played Let's Work Together (by Canned Heat) in his head, fusing his magnet, battery, and kazoo into a more permanent stealth thing.

I look at the Healer, which has defected to the enemy.
"You served me well, but I can't have you healing the enemy, can I? But for the record, I regret that I have to do this."
I always put safeguards in my creations so they can't turn against me. In this case, it's something of a neutralizing agent. The Healer's targeting is permanently set to allies (currently the PG team), which makes what I'm about to do all the more deadly.
I flip a switch, and a small capsule deep within the Healer detonates, releasing its contents into the Healer's biosustain tanks. Biosustain is, of course, the panacea-type compound the Healer uses to actually do its healing. It's fairly common in developed worlds as a cure for most injuries, accelerating the process of healing and regrowth. The problem in developing it was preventing cancer from resulting, but that's a story for another time.
That little capsule contained a chemical of my own design which, upon reacting with biosustain, creates a compound that hurts whatever it comes into contact with. The Healer's tanks are now full of this substance, which it will attempt to use on its newfound allies. I think I'll leave it to its work.
I walk over to the Lunar Sworn with an odd disk in hand, on the disk it looks like a colored cd that is similar to those Pokemon TMs...
Stopping in front of the Lunar sworn, I open my mind's eye and see a cd slot which I insert my move TM. The Lunar Sworn pauses in whatever it was doing and his eyes gazed out as he absorbs the new information he just received. Soon, he regains focus and learns the move Endure! Thankfully, he only knew 2 moves so that took up his third slot, sitting next to Slash and Bodyguard.
(Single Order)
Because of move priority, Lunar Sworn is capable of utilizing Endure first, this allows him to tank multiple deathblows during this round and come out with only 1 HP left.
...By Nayru's love. Anyone here familiar with the Chaos Butterfly who can tell the rest of us about it? I have only so many discoordinated altmemories.
Attack the currently weakest motorcyclist with that anti-cow city-guard shield from that Under the Dome thing so the Godmodder will Curse of Repetition it and I never have to see it again.
The Chaos Butterfly? That's... a surprisingly apt name. YES. YES IT IS. WH<0>EVER Y<0>U ARE, Y<0>U CANN<0>T HIDE FR<0>M ME F<0>REVER.
Oh yes I can.
40k damage to the Titanic Cow. Ew.

I target the thing which the IC Arbiter cannot identify (it's the elite entity on the PG team) and attempt to help identify it.
By which I mean that I take out a Field Tissue Analysis Capsule and set it down. While it's booting up, I carefully approach the entity, then pull out a machete and carve off a rather large piece of tissue.
Having done this, I place the tissue in the Analysis Capsule. Results should be done by the end of the turn.
27/40 THUNDERSTRUCK Suddenly, an abacus (math instrument) comes flying out of the magic guitar case (Yes, that was still in the barn with the floating platform). However, this is a special abacus, designed by the math god Nerdica (Long story. All anyone know is that she's a part of Geek Mythology) to count negative numbers. The beads on it are positioned to be -2 as it flies toward Wing 2. Upon impact, the mere thought of negative numbers makes the wing rebel against everything its known, causing it to suffer a mid-life crisis. It suddenly flies away from the other 5 wings 6 legs and 1 insectoid body, embarking on a long, laborious quest to understand the secrets of the universe. (Just because they don't live long doesn't mean they can't go through periods of crisis)
I suddenly translocate to the seven star ball that I was after earlier, before pulling out the space warping magic 8 ball to hold it in. 4 Dragon Balls acquired
I then speak in Astrec's ear via magic based speech "Umm, I just realized, I might just have something lying around that you can use. I am about to give you something that is literally two dead universes, dead as in would never have life in them for the rest of eternity without my interference, turned into a black hole bomb effectively. Unless I am mistaken it is the furthest time between making and use on the battlefield on our side thus far. Just give me a second."
Since TOG never used the Black hole bomb I gave him, it was bungied back to my inventory, as evidenced by the fact that an enormous black hole has yet to destroy three or so universes in the vicinity of science world. It suddenly appears in Astrec's hand, or pocket if his hand is preoccupied. "Just a warning, don't charge while you have that thing on you. I set it to drain reality warping powers for the time stop effective on it. Either use an action to charge, or don't or return it to me. Or use the bomb. Anything else will turn the area directly around you into a nightmare, since I had set up a trick taking into account my original target was on a planet. That thing's implosion/explosion will cause a portal system to open around it, creating a feedback loop until you mak a containment method, or the thing runs out of energy. I did think about avoiding collateral damage when I made this, as well as maximizing intentional damage."
With that, he waits to see if Astrec accepts his gift.
...A red, pixellated exclamation point appears above my head, causing a short tone to play. After a brief wondering at that (and a small jump in surprise), I glance over. "Excuse me what in the what is that what what what WHAT WHAT WHAT WHY WOULD YOU BRING THAT HERE." I grimace, looking at the Chaos Butterfly, shuddering as I pull out the weapon I had prepared earlier.
Ready for a stupid long name again? Good. Because I'm pulling out the Great Voidic Chaos Flame Zweihander + 10. Might not be as ridiculous as some names, but at least they're all unique. That said... not quite the same type of Chaos this Butterfly is used to. A different Chaos, really. Chaos, Chaos, Catch me if you can. With a flash step forward, I wield the purple flamed Zweihander above my head, and with a mighty slash, cut down, transferring straight into the third person narrative.
...a girl hovers, having just slashed down on an angry butterfly with a grimace on her face, red eyes almost alight with anger, or perhaps fear. Difficult to tell. Either way, she's clearly not happy with the way that it's here. Her silver pigtails trail behind her a bit as she steadies her aerial stance, before lightly touching off to go for a slash at it's top leftmost wing, black winter coat trailing a little, slashing furiously at the wing. "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE THIS PLACE NO NO DIE YOU HORRID CREATURE!"
Pulling out my staff again to perform some healing, I wave it in the general direction of the Lunar Priest who waits to receive the healing...
...
...
"Okay, what going o-"
A small portal opens up and deposits a ticket in the Lunar Priest's hands. She squees as she notices its a free portal ticket that allows her to sample a LEGENDARY massage parlor for 20 seconds. She hastily uses the ticket and is transported in a flash to the parlor. I then decided to organize the stuff she left behind.
After the 20 seconds have passed, she reappeared in the same place where she has whisked away with a blissful look on her face as she feels her body being more limber and rested.
The Lunar Matriarch attempts to pummel down her envy but twitches a closed eye occasionally.
(Orders!)
Lunar Sworn uses Endure.
Lunar Matriarch heals the Barracks with the Engies.

Clones are to let loose on the PG animals or any defected entities.

I look around... weird how <0>'s got a sorta light-blue color instead of red when entropy energy is supposedly red (And on that note, the ability to harness entropy energy is itself nonsensical. entropy is how disorganized something is, and that's what makes it harder to access energy that's stored in there. anything you would be able to do with it logically- just randomize select portions of reality, really- is something you can do with any magic system i can think of- probably by failing to do something else, at that! bleh), then shrug. on the one hand, opportunism. on the other hand... <0>'ll be here next round. so instead, I focus on the motorcycles. the cows will die this round, if they are not dead already- some of them, at least? It's plausible enough for me to do this: I focus, and, when one dies and off comes the motorcycle, I immediately grab it and give it to the guardian spirit. since this is action, maybe I can grab multiple? if so, I also grab the next two, and either try to stack them all on the guardian spirit, or if this is impo
At the moment, the cows are not dead yet. However, you wait in the event that they do die....
The Godmodder's power surges to new heights. Taking off at top speed, she knocks the Clone Barracks, Clone Troopers and Riot Clones out of the Barn The Titanic Cows drive towards The Lunar Matriarch(Damage Reduced, Blocked by WInkins), Lunar Priest and Metal Gear GUN, dealing 100k damage each. The Monsterpigs charge at Securitron and ParadoxDragon for 60k, the Creature eats the Sliver of Good Taste to restore 40k Hp, and the Healer heals a Monsterpig for only 7k, with it's limited medical equipment.

The Chaos Butterfly itself then moves over to the Templar Castle. <0>PEN UP.
It fires a blast of red energy at the Castle, breaking it apart. Then, it discorporates into a shifting mass of scales, which flies through the Templar Portal, but not before leaving behind a single, massive Scale.
The Primal Guardian Spirit uses Blazing Charge, dealing 60k damage to three Titanic Cows.
James and Steffan produce a Guard Drone, which Colt outfits with a weapon. Aron figures out how to make fish people as well. The Lunar Sworn and Priest cough up red scales this round, and the Matriarch heals up the Securitron for 50k. The Hen feels the egg begin to hatch, it will do so next round. The Clone Engineers repair the Cloning Vat for 6k, and Auma Flexes his new God Bod. Securitron launches a rocket barrage at the Titanic Cows, dealing 60k to one, and 30k to the others. And with that, the battlefield actions seem to be done. Wow. That felt like it took forever.

15/40 we should really hit the Godmodder some more (+4 gdama)
Let's see if the Godmodder's human underneath. Time for a real barrage o' hits...MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAetc., right to all those anime pressure points that make people explode! Hopefully she's been putting off her form change...
As it turns out, the Godmodder's body is composed of solid matter! "Did you know I can rearrange pressure points?"
She pokes you in a spot where all your pressurepoints are. Ouch. "Now you do."
[Attack weird furry thing that looks like it would have disgusting feet and armpits] Enjoy your MickeyBabies!
[If this misses tho I swear I will dump a vat of baby powder on the nearest fast-food chain restaurant.]
32/40 THUNDERSTRUCK (+4) In my defense, I was just winging it.
Suddenly, using his multi-dimensional locating and teleporting device and new stealth kazoo, onlookers see LJG appear on his floating platform. Surprisingly, I have a plan, but I am a firm believer in slacking off, so, I'ma gonna do somethin' else.
With that unnecessary statement, LJG, as always, practically dives into his guitar case. He then pulls out a pack of baby wipes (Cleaning Instrument). He then throws this at "I Have No Idea What This Is." He then takes out another pack of baby wipes and does the same. He then takes and throws approximately 532 baby wipe packs at it using his Metal Catapult (Throwing Instrument). While this may seem pointless, some may be keen to learn that each pack was filled with ANFO and and detonation cord, all triggerable by the big red button LJG keeps in his pocket. This causes and explosion so stupid that it can disintegrate a cement truck. While this happens, LJG is hidden in his guitar case, preventing himself from looking away from the explosion dramatically.
I am slightly confused, but whatever. "Bit unnecessary to knock them out since Whis was already accepting the new hierarchy, but whatever. They aren't dead, so the other gods of destruction won't randomly rally before getting themselves wiped out, so I don't particularly care."
Astrec hears my voice again, which I will presume means he is already finding me more annoying than either Fi or Navi from Legend of Zelda, presuming he has played any of those games. "Just so you know, if that Bomb I gave you/(this is replaced with Astrec in all other copies of the message) is useless on our butterfly friend please tell me. Side note, if someone can shrink the radius of those wings far enough the portal feedback could catch all of them simultaneously, possibly shredding them, and if we are lucky it might do significant damage to the main body. Please mention this and request back up from the rest on that front if they are unwilling to listen to me. I taped this message so every Reality Warper in this group will hear it soon.(last bit is cut from group message) I am just letting you hear first."
With that all other reality warpers hear the message, along with a mental sum up of the issues I mentioned for those who haven't seen them already.
I then fly to the edge of the universe before I warp a small hole between this reality and its opposite number in the cluster it exists in. Once I am in universe Six, I look around to see where the next Dragon Ball is.
Hm. Charming. While that's going on, I snipe the enemy Healer with AMERICA LASERS! Red, white, and blue, now with high-velocity magical energy output as well as lasers! Because hell fairies have weird compatibilities!
Demon kings to the last. I wonder if a Makai operation will work here as well. I'm not going to fight THAT many time giants to retrogen. It'd be a new summon at best, and we have...priorities. Me. You. One out of the other and a decent divorce plan. fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine
With the Butterfly gone, and only a scale remaining, the girl heaves a sigh, opening a grey portal in the air, out of which steps a white haired man in a tan trench coat, wielding a revolver with two more at his sides
Revolver Ocelot
HP: 225000/225000
ATK: 100000 (6 shots)
Passive: Reloading In The Heat Of Battle. After 6 shots, Ocelot must spend a turn reloading. If he's not attacked, he gains a 20% damage buff for the next six shots. If he is, he gains 10% dodge chance and 1 AC until his next reload.
Revolver Roulette: 7 Charge. Using his three revolvers, Ocelot will intimidate one enemy with a game of Roulette. Act as though only 1 bullet is in all three guns, and fire six shots (so in essence, six 1/18 chances of hitting). Regardless of whether a successful bullet is fired, the targeted enemy is highly less likely to attack Revolver Ocelot.
Passive: Sadism. Recovers HP equal to 1/10 damage dealt per attack
36/40 (claiming +4)
~~~~~~~~~
I pull out an old-fashioned looking walkie-talkie and bark a few orders into it. A distinct "Copy that" is heard from the other end before I put it away.
An airplane flies over the battlefield. (Yes, I use those. They fill a niche, and not everything has to be fancy. If I had an ounce of gold for every time all the plasma drives didn't work under a particular universe's laws of physics...)
Out of the airplane falls a sturdy wooden box, which deploys a parachute. The box crashes onto a Titanic Cow, but it's not done yet. In fact, it's not even open. I walk over to the box and pry it open with a crowbar, revealing a cache of weapons, including a one-handed flamethrower what looks like a cross between a chainsaw and a sword. I pick these weapons up and dual-wield them.
Using the chainsaw-sword, I carve into the Titanic Cow, making sure to burn all of the bits I cut off with the flamethrower. While some butchers can work with Godmodded meat, they're few and far between, and it's generally best to torch the stuff and run.
Speaking of run, looks like my weapons just ran out of fuel. I activate their Grenade-Based Explosive Self-Destruction and throw them at the Titanic Cow. When the dust clears, the box is completely gone.
Grenades: 1/2 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge
Rockets: 1/5 a free-action, charged attack; ignores enemy dodge
I scan Auma (aka let Auma exposit on the clone's abilities).
Auma casts Dominate Monster on the Monsterpig, with a chance to temporarily mind control it.
The Securitron attacks the Crimson Scale with that AC pen., while Ishmael continues guarding it.
The IRON GOD is ordered carve a rune into another golem, and then return to where he was before and continue spying.
I shout towards the Fire Elementals that, although the squad of magelings I summoned have all died (I think. I honestly lost track of them.), I have reserves. I haven't summoned more out of respect for their alleged sentience. All is fair in war, though, and if they refuse to join us (or flee), I am ready to make them join us.
Okay, let's see, the stats for the Starmaker Clone...
HP: 350,000
ATK: 120,000 +15,000
The Body of a God of Light, capable of manipulating probability, information, and the electromagnetic spectrum.
The Fire Elementals hold their positions. Totally understandable, considering your guys wouldn't leave if the Godmodder said the same things to them.
0/40 +4 GM???? wasn't it +3 per hit before? -11 expending!
Suddenly i look back at the rules, oh hey charges are different and non-linear and stuff now! at 10C an entity has 100,000 HP, but at 11C they have 88,000+100,000! cool and good.
Wait shoot the butterfly's attacking the templar homeland.
not so cool and good.
I quickly pack up all my researchers on a large cheese platter (the cheese is quite exquisite, and provides them with food for the journey, naturally) and take them all with me to the templar lands (this includes the cloning vat ) . I dunno what the templars here will do- they wouldn't provide a meaningful difference back in templarplace, i think, so instead I ask them to figure out the scale. and preferably gain control of it. that's 9C of HP right there... or 1/2 of 11 C. which means 5.5 C. SCALING! anyway, probably worth it especially with the AC and whatever the scale does.
uh... that was a bit of an aimless sort of ramble. ahem. this should be clearer.
my action: I take me researchers, binding stone, a cheese platter, and the cloning vat with me into the templar lands.
Templar orders: figure out that weird scale. unless they want to come help and expect it to be useful, that is. vintage conduit tries to hide them.
Researchers: If you can continue to research while relaxing on a cheese platter, Aron plans a way to speed up cloning, james and steffan make new guard drones and add anything Colt's figured out to them, Colt keep trying to find ways to add weapons (this time with an attempt to make the weapons able to fire syringes which automatically inject on impact), and the now-weapon'd drones attack anyone it makes sense to attack. like, the chaos butterfly, for example.
PGS: blazing charge anyone who attacks muh ppl. 11 Charges
hmhm, 188,000 HP, 12,000 ATK... Alright, here's a summon:
Special Sam 150,000/150,000 HP 1/2 Regemerate 1/3 Hasty work 1/5 Effectname Bubble 1/8 EvoCombobulation
Regemerate grants Special Sam some regeneration (not as a status effect, as an upgrade).
Hasty work does something, quickly and possibly cutting corners.
Effectname bubble makes a bubble tuned to some effect, like 'damage' or 'healing' or 'endless tacos'. (practically, its persistent status effects to entities inside it with a healthbar. that, or a shield)
Evocombobulation changes the list of specials to continue having a special available every round without much waste, and also increases SS's MHP.
What I intend by these charges:
Round 1, nothing. Round 2, Regemerate. round 3, Hasty Work, round 4, regemerate, round 5, EnameBubble, round 6, hasty work, round 7, regemerate, round 8 evocombobulation.
that means either the charge is listed as 1/whatever the round it is used, or it activates the instant its full.
anyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyway yeah.
((((By the way DCCCV, Blazing Charge says "Blazing Charge - 3U damage, 3U DoT, target up to 4 entities which affected the same entity or entity group this round (so, does this damage to all targets, not splitting), 3 Energy cost" which means it should also leave them with a status effect which will, after some unspecified amount of time, do the same damage the direct hit did.))))
Entities Ordered.
You take your researchers with you into the Templar Lands, and find that the Chaos Butterfly has already flown away. You can see this, because there is a massive trail of destruction leading away from you.
Special Sam summoned, stats slightly altered.
oh damn, a hiatus? RIP
At least it gives me time to formulate all the alchemies I plan to do.
ALCHEMY TRAIN, CHOO CHOOO!
8/40 (+4 from GM Damage) (Thanks to DC for finding this)
Slime Staff || Summoner´s Magykks && Black Lens && Stardust && Bag of Holding && Handle && Hazel Wood && Reality Magykks && Minion Maker && Customizer && Stardust Dragon Staff && Luminite && Voidite = Summoner´s Stave
White Orb || Prophetic Essence && Seer Magykks && Eye && Magic 8 Ball && Anti-Firewall Magykks && Ocular Energy && Black Lens && Scrying Ball && Crystal Ball && GPS System && AI = Delphi Sphere
Plastic Weapons || Piono Figurine = Discount Elemental Alchemies
Fishing Rod || (High Test Fishing Line && Angler Tackle Bag && Sonar && Fishing Boat && Lobster Trap && High Tension Fishing Line && Boeing 747 Engine && Gunpowder) && (Handle && Leather Grip && Gallowsdown Fluffsball) && Hook && (Pocket Dimension || Bait && Lobster Boat && Traps && Nets && Collapsible Boat) = The Fishery
I´m sorry DC. I´m so sorry. also prepare for the Aspect Alchemies.
ACTION:
oh shit astrec man is injured. He yanks out a car
CAR SALESMAN ASTREC: *Slaps car* this bad boy can hold so much heals
PERSON: *confusion*
CAR SALESMAN ASTREC: Watch *drives car, gets heals* ASTREC: ..oh no, he entered the Templarlands. JOE, I´ll deal with this. I summoned him, this is my fight.
He brandishes the swissarmyknifemodder, which swaps to the form of a Elemental Mega Buster, and enters the Templar Portal. He locates the butterfly. ASTREC: HEY BIG RED AND SCALY! Leave the goddamn Templars alone. I´m the one with the Key. Let´s go, You Vs. Me.
Astrec slams a handful of pure Awakening energy and three broken true hero swords into the Entropic Key part of his Knife, and charges, unleashing a blast of Purge from the newfound True Entropic Key into the scaly bastard´s eye.
i don´t know why i did that car heal.
low effort for the win
Wait gun is dead nooo
I steal GUN´s soul from the Soul Net, and promise i´ll make a body for it.
SOON™
Voidsteel, Discount Elemental Alchemies, Summoner's Stave and The Fishery made. The components disappear elsewhere. You heal yourself for 2 HP, since your car salesman is a liar.
The Chaos Butterfly has already carves a swath of destruction on it's way out of the universe. Your blasts of white energy are deflected by Wing 3 for 20k damage, and attracts its attention. I HAVE N<0> TIME TO SUFFER ANY <0>F Y<0>U F<0>UR.
BEG<0>NE.
It then fires a stream of pure Chaos Energy at you for 3 damage, sending you back to the battlefield.
((From now on, you can only make one alchemy per action.))
I suddenly get the memo that the Butterfly is gone. "Hey Astrec, you can hang on to that thing for a while if you want to utilize it for alchemies, just be wary that charging with that thing on you will cause it to move towards detonation. Some energy appears to have been given to us from somewhere so i will utilize it now to just set the time until detonation back a bit."(4 charge to bomb, Bomb explosion system active. every time someone charges while holding it while having also taken an action that turn it will tick down one. Current turns spare count at 4. if someone charges at 0 the bomb blows up, and you can absorb the excess temporal energy to insta detonate)
I then proceed to fly to another Dragon Ball, this time the Six Star Ball. It simply shrinks down to the size of a baseball so I can pocket it. Dragon Ball count: 5
Dragon Ball obtained. The Bomb fails to count down.
((I'm not letting you make a bomb that counts down when the holder charges. It's too complicated to deal with right now.))
My character yells "DOGE " and he takes a swing at the giant cow and then a dark blue text bubble saying "10,000 magic swords impale the thing" and it impale the giant cow and he takes a bite out of a burger and says "hay guys"
33/40 THUNDERSTRUCK Aw man... a hiatus. This means I gotta stop my world tour. I guess this is a good time to... As you might expect, LJG pulls out another item from his guitar case of useful instruments. This time he pulls out a piece of paper titled THE SONG OF CHEKHOV'S GUN. He also nabs a guitar and starts to play. To say the song is boring is about as accurate as you get. It only uses a few notes, no major chords, it's a little sad to be honest. However, there is exactly one beat at the end of the song that is just filled with energy. Pretty much every note you can play gets played, but each one is just slightly after the other one. It then goes back to being boring. At the end of the song, a gun flies into LJG's hand (After all, it's not the Song of McGuffin). The gun itself just looks like a gun, and just acts like a gun, and just shoots like a gun, but it is cursed so that you can't fire it immediately. Therefore, LJG throws it in his guitar case. What else are you supposed to do with it? It's not useful yet. Yet.
37/40
~~~~~~
I've seen certain plans from my current allies, and I suppose it's time to play my part in it.
I depart the battlefield entirely, leaving a beacon so that I can find my way back. As it happens, we're decently close to an access point for my Hazardous Item storage, so I won't be gone long.
I reach the access point -- a high-tech booth in the middle of nowhere -- and input various credentials, ranging from full biometric scan to allegiance checker to passphrase riddles. A portal opens, taking me to a pocket dimension of my own creation, and I enter. It closes behind me.
I stand on a cliff overlooking a great chasm. On the other side of it sits the Hazardous Item Storage Center. The chasm is something of a metaphor given reality, representing a final obstacle that must be bridged. Reality Anchors dot the landscape, preventing reality warpers from removing the chasm or creating a bridge, or even affecting the laws of physics to fly across. The only space not covered by the Anchors is the edge of the cliff, making it the only access point. There are other defenses, but I'll be leaving those unsaid. Wouldn't want any lurking Godmodders to know all my secrets.
I pull out a remote. This remote only works on the edge of the chasm, and only when I'm holding it. I press its sole button, and a bridge extends from the Storage Center. I cross, and enter the facility proper.
I head straight for Section 56B: Inanimate Apocalyptic Snowballs. (Snowball is, of course, a general term here and its resemblance to the item I seek is purely coincidental). Inside, a series of identical vaults line the halls, with similar chasms to the one outside separating them from the pathway. Control panels at each vault provide a place to input access.
I go to Vault 56B-4-997 and extend the bridge. I cross to the vault, input one final round of credentials, and open it. Inside are three dozen pairs of crystalline frozen water, but not just any frozen water.
One crystal, clearly labeled, is Ice-9, a crystalline structure that, when exposed to water, causes the water to freeze in similar patterns. Extreme heat is required to melt Ice-9, which is prohibitive in practice.
The other crystal, packaged in liquid nitrogen, is Ice-10, which I designed in response to the potential danger of Ice-9. When Ice-10 is exposed to Ice-9, it converts the Ice-9 to ordinary ice, with a typical melting point.
I take a single pair of crystals. I then reseal the vault and exit the facility, being careful to leave it exactly as I found it in every other respect. I exit my pocket dimension and return to the battlefield, using my beacon to guide me.
As Karpinsky returns with the pair of crystals, I quickly cast several identifying spells on them. Naturally, I'm suspicious of assassination. I proceed to have some serving ghouls take the crystals into my bag of holding. Back in my home plane, the ICE-9 is split into individual molecules, which are each stored in vials safely and ready for use at will.
"You'll be ready, then, when the rest of us are? Good."
I quickly cast several anti-scrying spells, as I can see that a certain someone is going to be coming up to us and spilling all kinds of beans in a few minutes.
"I never got your name, by the way."
"My friend, it seems you don't trust me. Then again, your mystical connections make me a bit suspicious as a matter of principle, so perhaps I shouldn't be talking...
Anyways, don't worry. I know how to handle dangerous substances.
Name's Karpinsky, by the way. And yours is?"
/centurionnull
Astrec appears where Karp and TOG are, and brandishes his weapons. ASTREC: C1, reporting for duty. Did we ever decide on a name for ourselves, by the way?
ASTREC: Anyway, so the plan is, we poof into the elemental Plane of water, we use the Ice-9 to draw him out, then use it on him, unleash the mechas, the I use the Swissarmyknifemodder to stop him from unleashing his curse, or at least keep it contained, while you guys pump attacks into him?
ASTREC: I think that's the plan, anyway.
While astrec waits, he prepares some more schematics for alchemies, putting them into a holoalchemiter, seeing what the result would be.

((OOC: This is to see if DCCCV will GM alchemies, and if so if I can see what the results would be as a free action))
You see an orange Dragon flying out of nowhere and as he gets closer you notice it has a fire tail, then you see a diamond necklace as he lands in the distance you notice it isn't a Dragon at all but a charizard. Then he opens a pocket dimension in a headband that says "TNT" . Note: I intend on the opening a pocket dimension as my action not the flying
"Trust you? I trust no one I just met in a universe outside of my own with machinery I don't understand. Hell, I can barely trust my own thralls at this point."
A short laugh at the comment of properly containing dangerous items.
"Karpinsky..? That's a... bizarre name. Human, right?
Anyways, C5 works fine for me: I don't think you have the necessary biology to pronounce my name. Besides, the letter 'C' appears to have grown on me. Does it make the /s/ sound or the /k/ sound? Wacky zany, right?"
[C1 bursts onto the scene, as if Wacky zany were his cue or something]
"That's...
That's not...
You know what? Sure, yeah, that can be the plan for now. Really, I'll just tell you what to do when the time is right. Just be ready, ok- aaaaand he's gone."
The enthusiastic girl about mechas nods to Ocelot, ordering him to fire on the Healer.
Noting that she's vulnerable, she nods to herself and waves to P4, dashing to one of the Terror Cows to terrify it, warping around at high speeds and just slapping at it from various angles to confuse and anger it.
1/40
I look at <0>. it probably looks at me?. I look at it. it possibly looks at me. I look at it. it probably doesn't look at me. I look at it. It doesn't look at me. I look at it. It goes back to whatever it was doing. I win the staring contest. as punishment, <0> sees a lot of things in the relevant templar watchtower (newly constructed to hold the portal, away from anything important) suddenly reshape themselves into penrose triangles in rings of light.
sorry, i can't resize the image for some reason?
)
this is the symbol for Ordo, or Order, in thaumcraft. therefor, they are now surrounded by order. this will stall and/or weaken them somewhat. Maybe it'll help the templars gain an upper hand?
"Gentlemen, let me make something clear. I'm not okay with you screwing around with the Elemental Plane of Water on a permanent basis. I'm tolerating your temporary screwing around with it in order to acquire exclusive rights to its unlimited use, mainly because I can always use more water."
"I'm joining your plan in order to make certain that the disruption is minimal, and because I think the multiverse will be a better place if we can use the water. I expect that we will move quickly."
Astrec uses all the charge he saved up (because I forgot how much I was at), transforming the Clear Thought, turning it into a glowing grey blade, which he brandishes.
Then, he teleports to the portal to the plane, sips a tiny bit of Descendant's Drop, then leaps over to the Alchemiter and makes (Necklace || Sydney's Orbs (From a Webcomic) && Vial of Liquified Superman && Batman's Cape && Flash's Suit && Green Latern Ring && Fantastic Four Comics && Iron Man Suit && Thor's Hammer && Hulk Vial && Superstrength Syringe && Superspeed Syringe && Supersight Syringe && Mindreader && (R'tich && Gauss Gun && Crystal Grower && Heat Manipulator && Teleporter && Spyril && Tensors) && Superhuman Files from Alternate Earth Government Reports && Avengers Poster && A giant stack of comics && DC Universe Model && Marvel Universe Model && Marvel Cinematic Universe Model && Infinity Gaunlet && Peter Parker's Suit && Infinity Gems && Star Lord's Mask && A bunch of assorted superhero memorabilia && The very concept of Superheros && (a ton of other stuff for all the other heros I forgot) = ???) ((DCCCV, can you GM this)) and glowing with golden power, gestures to his teammates. ASTREC: Let's do this.
He brings up a array of shields, turrets, and weaponary. Large tankmechas appear on both sides of him, armed with Water-freezing weaponary. Then twirls hr his blade, a Space Spear hovering by his side. He readies a variety of weaponry...
Death's Ankh created. The Godmodder chops the Deflection Totem for a (deflected) 40k, and wrings her hand out. P4 heals a monsterpig for 50k, applying bandages and a healing salve. The Titanic Cows drive over Securitron, the Lunar Sworn, and the Lunar Priest for 120k damage, before taking another 60k damage from the Guardian Spirit's attack the previous round. The Monsterpigs then take a bite at MechaEnthusiast and Auma for 60k damage each. The Terror Terror, which is my new name for that creature, miraculously takes a breather. The Healer heals up a Titanic Cow for a measly 6k, and the Fire Elementals burn the Clone Engineers for 8k each.
+2 PG Morale
-2 AG Morale
The Researchers add another Guard Drone, and improve damage slightly. The Lunar Matriarch heals Securitron for 50k, while Ishmael lies on the ground, bleeding from Butterfly Scales, which is something I never expected to say, and the Cloning Vat Clones. Auma casts Dominate Monster on a Monsterpig. It has a 70% Chance of attacking the PGs next round. The Hen's egg finally hatches, and out comes a giant baby chick! Let's call it... the Grace Chicken. It's sleeping right now. Let's let it sleep for now. The Clone Engineers repair the Cloning Vat for another 6k, while the Templars take a look at the scale, and come to the conclusion that it must be destroyed, as it is impossible to control. They destroy it slightly for 25k damage. Securitron attacks the Crimson Scale for another 20k damage, and the Guard Drone shocks the Healer for 12k damage.

look, if <0> never looked at me to begin with, then it clearly lost the staring contest, which means it's still being chased by non-euclidean triangles.
Templar orders: without their castle, they should work to make another one. or at least, the beginnings of one. miners will mine, if there's something to mine. vintage conduit makes a new GC setup for the new beginnings-of-a-castle. special sam joins the templars. guard drone keeps them all from dying, and attacks whoever.
researchers: new system's in place- remarkably similar to the original steffan system, with RP to premade uses n' all that.
this round, create a single standard guard drone. keep it in the templar lands for now, as insurance against <0>. if anyone transfers enough charges to WP to buy something and asks for that something, let'm have it: this order stands for always.
Grenades: 1/2 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge
Rockets: 1/5 a free-action, charged attack; ignores enemy dodge
Auma controls blinds the Godmodder by bending literally all light to flow around her.
"Ishmael, I can provide you an escape from all this fighting. Would you like to return to my home plane? You will be cared and provided for until you are once again ready to fight; this time with allies."
If he doesn't take the out, he continues bodyguarding the Securitron Mk.II.
The Securitron Mk.II uses grenades on one of the Titanic Cows who would actually survive the attack.
I cast Eagle's Splendor on Karpinsky before he enters the portal, increasing his charisma slightly for the duration. He probably needs it, in all honesty.
Grenades: 1/2 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge
Rockets: 1/5 a free-action, charged attack; ignores enemy dodge
As much as I hate to admit it, going for diplomacy is probably the smarter move here, so long as we take control of the plane in the end.
I scry upon my own IRON GODLEM, and then order it to head over to P2. I repeatedly state through the GODLEM "A greeting from the emperor. He wishes to parlay." until P2 agrees to talk.
being in the templar lands, I walk over to the highest-ranking templar nearby and explain what happened, why it is exceptional, and how I will try to keep it from happening again (making this universe not a shortcut to anywhere). while that's happening, I conjure a bunch of bricks and throw them through the portal behind me without looking. when they land on the battlefield, they help the templars with their new and reduced castle.

~~~~~~~~
I deploy a Personal Portable SCUBA Kit, put it on, and enter the portal to the Elemental Plane of Water. I approach Poseidon, maintaining a respectful distance while ensuring that he can hear me. My SCUBA kit has a built-in megaphone, and water is pretty good at transporting sound, besides which it's his domain. He hears me.
"Mighty lord of water, I approach you as a supplicant, asking a simple favor. I and my allies face a great enemy of fire, and I would request your help in subduing him and his legions of fire elementals.
I am, at this time, willing to pay a price you deem sufficient in return for your expenditure in this task. As combatant against a Godmodder, I hold great power and am willing to spend it to repay you. All I ask in return is that you crush the fire elemental known as the Second Praetorian, along with all his forces... and perhaps allow a few smaller favors into the bargain.
Again, I humbly thank you for allowing me to speak, and ask that for now you hear my words and do not retaliate in anger."
While speaking these words, I look him over, paying attention to his trident and how he's holding it.
Entering the Plane of Water, you attempt to speak underwater and fail, as liquid floods into your mouth. After some glub glub glubbing, you hear a voice which tears at your mind within your head.
Ocelot, fire upon the Healer, and go for fancy ricochet shots on another random 5 enemies.
The girl grabs the crimson scale from the chaos butterfly, and grasps her blade in two hands, slamming it down on the scale, circle strafing around the scale to go for a backstab. This makes complete sense and nothing you say can change that.
From there.... Crimson Scale++A metric fuckton of explosives. That is the alchemy she chooses to make. This is totally not a setup for another attack...
I fly through the void, and for once avoid anything interesting interrupting me. I find another Dragon Ball, though this one is too crusted over to see anything. He pulls out a hammerspace portal, and places the DragonBall in it. 6 Dragon Balls.
The Godmodder redirects your Falcon Punch into your crotch. Ouch.
Your fire also makes another Fire Elemental. The Godmodder snaps her fingers, and the Deflection Totem, Revolver Ocelot, Auma, Grace Chicken and Securitron take 50k damage. P4 tries to patch up a Titanic Cow, but only restores 30k Hp this time. The Titanic Cows drive at Winkins, the Lunar Matriarch and Revolver Ocelot for 120k damage, the Monsterpigs try to take out the Clone Engineers, but one of them attacks the other for 60k damage. Terror Wild Mike wildly slaps at the Primal Guardian Spirit, dispelling them for the round. The Fire Elementals deal a collective 6k damage to one Guard Drone.

Elsewhere, the Researchers send in a Drone, with the new Research System, which is free to use by anyone. Just don't use all the points at once, other people might want to do stuff too. You can see what you can buy at The Facility here.
With the Researchers having left the Battlefield, everything seems a lot more bare. The Lunar Matriarch heals up Revolver Ocelot for 50k, Auma uses his newfound light powers to cancel out the Godmodder's action next round, The Grace Chicken scratches apart one of the Titanic Cows, causing them to drop their Motorcycle, which JOE takes and gives to the Primal Guardian Spirit. The Templars build a small castle, Securitron Grenades a Titanic Cow for 30k damage, and the Guard Drones finish it off. Ocelot goes BANG! BANG! BANG! on the Titanic Cow, his Motorcycle, the two Monsterpigs, Terror Wild Mike, and a Fire Elemental(reduced) for 20k each, regaining 10k Hp. Special Sam then gives a Special Slap to a Monsterpig for 12k damage.

all entities continue doing what they're doing.
The Iron Godlem, having come face-to-face with P2, changes its message.
"What, did... did Shadow Sorcerer not mention me? The Emperor? The world's greatest wizard? The guy who killed him? No?"
The Iron Godlem, with its incredible durability and strength, grabs on to the Elemental Plane of Fire. Its hands interlock around the Axe in such a way that just pulling it free wouldn't be possible. You'd have to break the Godlem in some way to gain control of the Axe. Alas, good thing the Iron Godlem had something in its statblock against that somewhere.
I can't be assed to grab it right now, but its there.
Anyways, The Iron Godlem is wrestling for control over the Axe.
I provide Astrec with enough ICE-9 for our plans to succeed.
I keep my ICE-10 though.
"oh you are that wizard"
Your Iron Godlem attempts to grab P2's axe, but at that very moment, he turns around and shears one of it's arms off. "you thought i was not expecting this that i would not recognize your work but you are wrong when you opened that portal and saw me i saw you too"
Far away from the current battlefield sits Science World. Once a beautiful place, it has suffered damage from P5's assault and the ravages of war. When Descendants come to town, as the saying goes, the dust settles and the town is gone. Or something like that; I've never been good at sayings.
Anyways, Science World. They've got their own repair efforts underway, but they're about to get some help.
A truly massive ship appears above Science World. Roughly spherical in shape, it has a diameter of 300 kilometers. Hundreds of hangar bays dot its surface. Inside sits a massive fabrication plant capable of converting energy to any form of raw matter required, along with the various foundries and refineries necessary to produce any other product. Outside of that are dozens of layers of defensive plating, energy shields, and an outer system of point defense and longer-range cannons. Visible on the outer hull, in letters a kilometer high, is its name: Reconstruction.
This is my greatest creation, my desire to repair the multiverse writ large. Despite the necessary defense arrays, it is no combat vessel. It follows me through each war I fight, coming to former battlefields and undoing the damage the war has wrought. It begins to do so for Science World, as thousands of drones spill out of the hangar bays and head toward the surface.
The drones land and analyze the damage before beginning repairs. Every so often, pods containing necessary materials deploy from the ship above; the work does not cease. The process of repair goes on for some weeks, and when it is completed, Science World has a much improved defense network, and facilities that take advantage of the best I have seen throughout the multiverse.
Its work complete, the Reconstruction presses on.
[OOC NOTE: Don't have this show up on the battlefield; this is my flavortext charge. I'll ask you before I try to use it in the game proper.]
~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, in Poseidon's domain, I sigh.
"Wish we could have done this the easy way. And for the record, I'm sorry about what's about to happen."
I then activate a Waterproof Disco Drone, which commences to put on a massive lightshow throughout the water surrounding Poseidon, taking extra care to send lasers at his eyes with great frequency. This should give my compatriots the space they need to act.
The lightshow illuminates the silhouette of the Elemental Lord of Water, only for the image to disappear. Your lightshow continues, until suddenly, your Waterproof Disco Drone is flattened by intense water pressure.
/placeholder (except it's an actual attackoh wow that's hilarious) beating the Godmodder over the head with all these unused placeholder post texts and hashtags, newspaper-bap style
If it's not over there already because I don't think I kept holding it, I leave the Captcharoid Camera that I made earlier by the Alchemiter so players can use it to avoid another <0> incident. Remember kids, images instead of making the mats saves byproduct energy use! Just avoid weeping angels and other image-to-thing.
You attack the Godmodder with placeholders, and she takes- "No."
What? "I said no. I'm not taking any damage from one of your constructs on that machine."
4/40 +2 = 3.
place ScientisDoc (by dcccv)
so, it looks like it hasn't updated yet, but the way it works is predictable. it makes 4 WP/round, and used 3 on a drone, so 6+1 7 RP as of exactly now. then, I spend 3C on RP, raising RP to 8. then, 8 points are expended on the clone facility (aron specialty)
meanwhile, I talk with the templars some more, and ask if they can send along Templar Guy, except I call him by his actual name, which I definitely know in character. Templar Guy is as good as nogatu, but he's not a nogatu, which makes him infinitely better as far as everything but killyffying. Also, he can't be killed because he definitely exists in the future... I think.
Templars continue building, special sam uses regemeration, their miners check what the ground is made of,the Vintage conduit gives the fort some GC, and the drones attack ummmm terrorwildmike. PGS coils around the fort and will blazing charge anyone who attacks it, unless its just one person, in which case it instead uses Lunge, since it's cheaper.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Astrec asks the GM a desc of the Ankh
Astrec saves a copy of Voidsteel to a USB drive, then tosses the steel to ME. He then tosses Summoner's Stave to them too, then dances over the portal.
Astrec channels all of his damage buffs.... SLASHSLASHSLASHSLASH. He slashes the PGs with the Clear Thought, then switches to the next part. A giant attack is launched against the PG side as Astrec transforms the Swissarmyknifemodder into a giant bazooka chain gun, tapes all his artifacts to it, and targets the Monsterpig, blasting a huge volley of explosives at the Pig. If he has any attack left, and/or the Pig is killed, he targets the PGs with the lowest health, and if he kills them, moves onto the ones with higher health remaining.
Astrec gulps down a couple of healing potions.
If I have any available actions left that using won't cancel my following attacks, I use them to harness the damage buffs of the Discount Elemental Alchemies wait retttcooonnnnnn- huh what Discount Elemental Alchemies? I only see some Piono™ Merchandise, namely a copy of Ircucvci, albeit a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very less powerful version of the original. It still has a bit of power though.
Astrec readies his weapons. Let's do this.
He raises his hand, and hundreds of portals to the Plane of Water appear, forming a huge sphere. Then, he rummages through his pack, and tosses something into the air. It duplicates, a copy going through each portal. Said thing is ICE-9. Back in the plane of water, a giant sphere of ICE-9 bursts in, and promptly spreads towards the god of water. It also spreads outward too, at a bit of a slower speed, as to give some innocent bystanders time to escape the heck out. Then, Astrec himself spins in, seemingly unhindered by the water. ASTREC: Let's begin what I like to call Astrec Uses his Alchemies and also he has 16 of them so um yeah.
ASTREC: totally not the one who named that no sir
He cartwheels forward, and yanks out the Swissarmyknifemodder and the Fishery. The knifemodder equips itself in godarm form, and grips the Fishery. He then leaps forward, and launches twenty lines from the fishery, while the Knifemodder transforms into a Astretech(tm) Brand Spyril, which jets Astrec forward. He maneuvers the fishery's hooks with the telekinesis from Death's Ankh, hooking the God's Trident. ASTREC: And we've got a bite. Time to reel it in!
Now, guess what potion (well one of many) I used for Descended's Draught? SUPERSPEED BABY. Astrec uses the speed to reel in the Trident at ungodly speeds, ripping it from the God's hand. He leaps up, gripping the Trident, then whips around, firing a gun loaded with ICE-9 everywhere.
ASTREC: Yeehaw.
...the portals from earlier proceed to each dump out three tons of primed concentrated Voidic Grenades, which detonate as Astrec flips backward through the water, shields being generated. ASTREC: Come on...
ASTREC: Also, Karp. That ICE-10 you mentioned? I need some. That ICE-9 is going to consume us both at this point, no matter how much damage it does to Cthulu. Can it be made into say, a shield?
The Elemental Lord of Water reappears, his trident glowing, as the ICE-9 surrounding his domain melts away. As he does so, you try to hook onto his Trident and wrest it from his grip, but it fails, as the lines completely pass through him.
Grenades: 1/2 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge

"Maybe that drow-looking sorcerer can tell you more about me... when you meet up with him in hell! (or the abyss, or the grey waste, or gehenna, or maybe just somewhere in the astral plane. I don't know)."
Scrying through the Godlem, I cast a spell to create a portal. One end is approximately near enough to the God of the Plane of Water.
The other is right in front of P2's face.
The chaos is purely magical.
"there is no need as he is right next to me"
The gate opens up in front of his face, causing water to stream through. As it does, it reacts with the Fires of P2's domain to create Steam. "i was not expecting this kind of treachery so soon"
Looking through the portal, the Second Praetorian muses. "judging by your recent actions here i would say that you need to be humbled so that you understand your limits"
With that, P2 walks through the portal, followed by P5. The moment they set foot, the aquascape around them shifts into a vast expanse of steam. "beautiful is it notAAAAAAAA"
The realization of who they were standing next to sets in, as P5 and P2 are suddenly grabbed by tentacles, and thrashed about like ragdolls.

~~~~~~
While all this is going on, I deploy a dozen Harpoon Drones to harpoon Poseidon on his arms, body, legs/tail, and then immobilize him using the harpoons. I myself use more of a grapple hook device to grab his trident, and start reeling it in.
You fire harpoons at Poseidon, spearing him for 30k damage. Despite this, several fly through him, as if he were liquid. One of the Harpoons sticks P2 in the chest as well. "you have to be kidding us"
22/40 he's already HALFWAY THERE halfway there halfway there
Unsnop the Lunar Matriarch, with the power of a persistent joke order to invalidate Thanos by reviving an omnipotent one and showing them the real way to rule with power anti-jpegging reintegrations. Enduring Survival Trick. This grants a one-time revive-to-low-HP on-death and/or survive-lethal-damage-at-low-HP effect, preferably triggering at end of turn or end of attack but if it has to trigger on the spot to work/for balance that's fine too. Might as well save against instant kills. It will probably be low enough it'll only last one more hit against anything serious, maybe even a just a low-thousands or single HP survival, but that might be enough time for a recovery move or emergency heal.
I proceed to pull out of my various inter dimensional pockets, the other six Dragon Balls. They all begin to glow as they are close to each other. All of thhem are back to normal size now.
I then say, in the Divine Language of the Gods of this Shenron's home universe "Come forth, Dragon of the Gods, and grant my wish pretty peas!"
I am aware that the summoning request is undignified. Leave me alone. A Golden Dragon of insane size, literally dwarfing galaxies, (which is half the reason why I summoned him in a demiplane. The level of possible abuse was the other.) appears in front of me. He then asks me, "STATE YOUR WISH" in the same tongue.
And I finally cease being vague about what I am doing. I say, in the Divine Language "I am incapable of growing strong enough, powerful enough, versatile enough, to do what is right as of right now. The wish I ask of you, Oh Dragon of the Gods, is to give me every ability ever existent in any version of the Universe you came from, and all of the potential inherent in those abilities. Every variation, every timeline, I wish to be able to utilize all the capacities of everyone born in any of the twelve universes that make up Dragon Ball, the series I watched much as a child on my own homeworld. this request I ask of you, oh mighty Dragon of the Gods."
He then stays still, before saying, remaining in the Divine Language, "YOUR WISH, HAS BEEN GRANTED." The Dragon Balls disperse back into their home dimension, and are unusable for a year, as that is how those things work.
I don't feel much different, but then I attempt to form a small energy blast in my hand. It works. I am now ready to get to my real prep work.
Sahrahalahsa... ashalahshl... Ocelot, shoot at the same things you just did.

A mindclone of Astrec reappears at the Battlefield, and uses all of its actions save two to harness all the damage buffs it can. So really only one action shush.
Then, it leaps forward and shreds the PGs with the lowest remaining health to bits with a Chainsaw-mode Knifemodder.
Then it flips over to the Grand Alchemiter, inputs:
[Gauntlet || The Blackguard's Arm && Picture of the Iron Prince && Energy of the Elemental Plane of Metal && Energy of the Elemental Plane of Energy && Technomancer Essence && Tank && Star Destroyer Model]
into the Holopad, and actually makes:
Revolver || Scranton Reality Anchor && Technological Energy && Gravity Gun && Portal Gun && Matter Gun && Matter Fabricator && Teraport && Fabber && Entire Star Wars series on one disc && Voidship && Medigun && FTL Engine && Technological Innovations && Nanomachine Generator && Dimension Hopper && Elemental Catalyst && Techbender && Time Machine && AI = The Innovator
The Innovator: A immensely powerful weapon. It has the appearance of a greyish bulkier cross between a gravity and portal gun, and is covered with different buttons. Users of it can control space and time, disable reality warpers, bend metal, create technology from nothing, fabricate matter, create portals, move objects, invent new objects to serve a inputted function, travel the void, teleport, and half a million other features using this. It's made only with technology, not a trace of magic or reality warping in it or used by it. It also has its own built-in AI, which can be programmed however you like, develop its own personality, plan things in a microsecond, and otherwise be a genius.
It then remerges with Astrec, who is now holding the Innovator. ASTREC: Hey, Karpinsky. I uh, figured I could make artifacts for the members of the Centurions, so um..
ASTREC: yeah i don't give people gifts very often.
ASTREC: Anyway, you don't have to take this but, here.
He hands Karpinsky the Innovator. ASTREC: Look good?
Innovator made and handed to Karpinsky, 50k damage to a Fire Elemental.
In the background, you can hear P2 shouting. "YOU ANGERED HIM??"
Your theoretical Alchemy will create the Ferrous Nanogauntlet, a mass of nanomachines which can morph into the arm-portion of his magic-proof armour.

"Thanks, friend. Any chance this comes with a user manual?"
Noticing the expression on Astrec's face, I'm quick to dispel his dismay.
"Joking, of course. It'll serve me well in this war, and as for after... Well, let's just say I've always wondered how the Alchemiter packs so much functionality into such tiny packages. But first, I'd better key this to my network."
I take out a small computer drive and put it into one of the slots on the Innovator. The AI within uploads to the gun and links with its internal systems, keying the Innovator to my off-field systems. Looks likes I just made all my remotes obsolete.

I walk over to the Primal Guardian Spirit (s binding stone) and start filling in any cracks with mortar. once I've filled as many as I can, I use [wand focus: equal trade] from Thaumcraft to replace them with the same super-dense super-strong fast-decaying material the rest of the Binding Stone is made of.

36/40 THUNDERSTRUCK Ugh... Sorry, I was taking a nap and no one woke me up and meh... LJG sits up and looks around. Okay. Didn't sleep in too long. Ugh. What was I doing again? Right. LJG plunges back into his guitar case and searches around. He takes a bit longer than usual, not seeming to know what he's looking for. He pulls out a grand piano and tries to carry it. A random staircase (transportation instrument) pops out of the guitar case. LJG tries to carry it up these stairs, but his balance is way off. The piano falls off the stairs, missing LJG because of the lack of railings (That seems like a safety hazard). It falls, and falls, and falls, strangely not hitting the ground. After a bit of watching a piano fall on the lower HP Monsterpig. Whoops. Is he gonna be okay?
35k damage to the Monsterpig. The Godmodder, being blind, doesn't do anything at first, but P4 removes the chance to attack PG on the Monsterpig by applying some TLC, healing it for 20k. The Titanic Cow drives over the Grace Chicken for 100k damage, the Monsterpig eats a Clone Engineer, and Wild Mike kills the Lunar Matriarch, only for her to Autorevive at 50k Hp. The Fire Elementals then burnify Auma for 32k.

As our forces prepare to attack, tendrils of steam snake forth from all those portals to the Elemental Plane of Water. Suddenly, P2 and P5 are forcibly ejected through them, as well as Astrec, and Karpinsky. The Godmodder is taken aback for a moment. "What just happened?" she asks. "a plan by the Descended to get me to fight him," P2 says, pointing at the portals, which are now conglomerating into one giant gateway. Behind the screen of Solid, Liquid and Gaseous Water, A being that is all of those things, but none of them at the same time emerges, carrying a trident radiating power.
The Godmodder considers what to do next. "Everyone, stand down. Let's not do anything to aggravate him right now."
Mistakes have been made.

Also, Objection! I was not in the plane of water at the time! Also, unless the plane of fire is that much more powerful than the plane of water, the water should naturally devastate the plane of water, and P2's face as well.
Also, I'd like to ask how a big fire elemental managed to hurt a creature who heals from fire damage.
Also, I'd like to ask how anything managed to change the form of an Iron Golem, despite them being specifically immune to such things via magic.
Auma uses every single wavelength of light to weave together an illusion right in front of Poseidon's eyes. An illusion wherein the Centurions look like Fire Elementals, and the Fire Elementals look like Centurions.

Dagon
ATK: 500,000 +250,000
Special Abilities: State Change. Dagon can form into any of the three standard states of matter: Gas for mobility, Solid for defense, and Liquid for attack.
Classification: Water Elemental, Primeval
Historical records of Dagon's existence date back to the founding of Nihil Magna. Many have attempted to challenge him. Fewer have lived to tell the tale. Scholars believe Dagon to have many forms and names, many of which are unknown. Reports from survivors of Dagon suggest that he exists in more than three dimensions.
In addition to his immense control over his physical form, Dagon possesses telepathic abilities, which have only been observed on two separate occasions.

[...y'know, my brain's starting to make comparisons between Wild Mike and Mike Wazowski. They both have circle-ish bodies with arms and legs growing out of them and they both have Mike in their names.
However, thanks to my newfound anti-Barnyard bias(thanks DC), I am inclined to state my opinion that Wild Mike is more disgusting. Yes, I know the odorants in Monsters Inc. included such enticing flavors as Smelly Garbage and Old Dumpster and Low Tide and Wet Dog, but Wild Mike is just...bleugh.]
OOC: (You know, it's time like these that make me happy that my character is working on an insanely involved side project that means he isn't aware of the battlefield. This means he can, you know, survive.)
I simply walk out of my demiplane, into the void, and then I pull out two very large doors I had from another demiplane. Suffice to say, I have had some stuff set up in advance. I proceed to use a power inherrent in Kami. I make those doors an entry way into my very own room of spirit and time. Though this one I have altered the time dilation to be even more pronounced. It is at a rate of 1year per turn.
OOC:
I am too far away to notice Poseidon, so I am not interacting with him, and I doubt he notices me.
(I did this to be easier on everyone. I don't want to figure out how much of a day a turn lasts, and I presume DCCCV doesn't either.)
Okay, since you don't know what is going on with the rest of the battlefield, your allies have just caused the Elemental Lord of Water to make an appearance. You should come here. Right now.

I take one look at "Poseidon" and say "Hey, if I help you with whatever it is you're doing, will you pay me(EG: in artifacts, mooks, or useful knowledge)?"
Let it never be said that I am not opportunistic. "also side note it is distinctly possible that I saved one of your kids from something, at some point."
I grab the two ungrabbed motorcycles and take them all apart, then put them back together, making the fabulous motormotorspinningcycle. you see, it is like a motor cycle, except it has 200% of the motors, and it spins faster. this has the slight downside of being impossible to aim attacks while on, because it is constantly spinning wildly, but it is enchanted to never crash. in theory, this will grant a dodge rate boost. also in theory, I can put the binding stone on it for defences. will it work? i dunno.
Dagon does not respond. He is not of the sort to interact with other people. You convert one of the Motorcycles into a motormotorspinningcycle, and put it on the Binding Stone. It now has a Dodge Chance. Freaking Incredible.

"Let's take this gun for a test drive. And yes, I know, you can't drive a gun."
I press a few buttons on the Innovator. A scope pops out as its barrel extends, until the whole thing resembles a high-tech sniper rifle.
I carefully line up my shot, aiming for Poseidon's center mass.
As for what I'm shooting, that's simple. The basic tenets of chemistry dictate that you never put sparks near a mystery gas; since I want to deal damage, I'll be doing exactly that. And by sparks, I mean a ball of Greek Fire. Not regular fire, Greek Fire. The kind that burns underwater.
You strike Dagon for 45k damage, and create a Greek Fire Elemental.
Again, I am going to warn you not to use fire, especially considering the current ruler of the Elemental Plane of Fire is less than a hundred meters away from you.
29/40 THUNDERSTRUCK (Using 8) Looks like I rejoined just in time. Yup, I'm gonna do some great things... Wait a second. I have had the perfect attack for this scenario this entire time. Man, Zues is gonna slap me for this. Leather Jacket Guy pulls out a double neck guitar and starts to play. His fingers sprint around the strings, trying to get in the groove. "Thunder! Ahahahahahaha," (Sounds to that effect). He keeps going with his guitar for a few seconds, and then he starts with the lyrics (Lyrics Spoiler Below). He then gets to the first "You've been... Thunderstruck", and he points at Posiden. Storm clouds begin to roll in. The lyrics continue. More storm clouds continue to roll in. Finally, LJG gets to the final chorus of "Ahahahahahahahahahaha. Thunderstruck." (etc. See below) As he finishes, large claps of thunder fills the barn. A flash of light comes out of nowhere right above Poseidon. Thunder strikes Poseidon and lightning follows, electrocuting the gas around him as well. LJG puts the guitar down, exhausted. He sits on the edge of his floating platform and sighs. I hope Zues is fine with Poseidon getting zapped. He'll probably be okay with it.
Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder
I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track
I looked round
And I knew there was no turning back
My mind raced
And I thought what could I do
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you
(/Not lyrics: Referring to you disembodied voice)
Sound of the drums
Beating in my heart
The thunder of guns
Tore me apart
You've been
Thunderstruck
Rode down the highway
Broke the limit, we hit the town
Went through to Texas, yeah Texas, and we had some fun
We met some girls
Some dancers who gave a good time
Broke all the rules
Played all the fools
Yeah yeah they, they, they blew our minds
And I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please
Yeah them ladies were too kind
You've been
Thunderstruck
I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
It's alright, we're doin' fine
It's alright, we're doin' fine, fine, fine
Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, baby, baby
Thunderstruck, you've been Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
You've been Thunderstruck

[I swear the Elemental Landmark would've been better off as an Artifact instead of the disappointment that it turned out to be.
Or maybe, everything would've been better(for me) if I had just been allowed to slowly but surely make "Landmarks" out of every Elements in this universe. Would've been able to at least summon it AFTER the AG entity purge and it would've been cooler too.

I look at the Innovator, which appears to be stuck in sniper mode and is somewhat unresponsive.
"Huh. Guess I'll have to keep using remotes for most of my stuff."
I take out a remote, input some coordinates, and press a button on it that looks kinda like a giant claw. A few seconds later, a missile flies down onto the battlefield. It aims straight at a fire elemental.
When the missile is a few seconds from hitting the fire elemental, its nose splits apart into a claw, which grabs the fire elemental. The missile then turns to head straight for Poseidon. It flies right into Poseidon's center mass and abruptly stops, using a gravitic anchor to keep itself, and the fire elemental, lodged there.

I stab the binding stone.
with a shiv
except its a healing shiv!
it heals by way of making a large gap, which I then fill with FLEX GLUE, thus increasing the overall structural stability of this construct.
PGS will Gore anyone who attacks my entities, unless it is multiple someones, then blazing charge.
the advanced templar greets me. I give him a high five, talk/ramble about how we're going to be/were such good friends later/earlier, and ask him to work on the minifort. since he has something known as a 'work ethic', he does this without complaining about how he's above such tasks (which he isn't. just like all the other templars. but he's pretty cool with his having a work ethic-ness)
the normal templars follow Templar Guy's lead with only partial grumbling- a major improvement!- and work on the minifort.
miners are now kamikazi scavangers: they leap out into the melee and try to find scraps we can use, since there's nothing in the ground apparently...?
Conduit, naturally, works on glyph-class.
Special Sam uses hasty work, giving the minifort some spikes and palisades. hastily. luckily, the large quantities of splinters only make them more irritating to anyone who attacks!
guard drones attack whoever PGS does.
The Researchers hear about the elemental plane conflict thing, and decide to lay low and keep all their produced things with them until things calm down. IE, they do nothing with the RP unless someone uses charges to give them RP to do something, in which case they bought the thing i guess.

Ocelot, do NOT fire on Poseidon. Anything else is fair game though.
The girl hops onto a motorcycle and grabs the near perfect staff, wooting to herself as she starts driving towards a fire elemental, healing herself on the way
Zweihander with a too long name || Voidsteel == ? 1/?
I proceed to pull out a capsule. Out pops a gravity chamber. Using my knowledge of Dragon Ball, along with my new magical powers, I make it so that the gravity manipulation effect is placed on the Hyperbolic Time Chamber I have made as well. I now have what I call The Room of Spirit, Time, and Gravity. I walk right in, so that I can begin my training.
30/40 THUNDERSTRUCK Hmm... When did Oblivion Man and Fire Face get here? Probably doesn't matter. Music time. LJG leaps into guitar case, grabs some stuff, and hops back out. With him, he takes out a giant salt shaker filled with salt (Taste-Improvement Instrument). Why do I even have this? He unscrews the cap on it. He then takes out a bag of pretzels (Hunger-Avoidance Instrument) and dumps just a tiny pinch into the bag. He then eats these pretzels. Hmm... Based on the way everyone's staring at me, they must've thought I wasn't trying to make some pretzels tastier. LJG then, unfortunately really, leans on the giant thing of salt. It tips over, spilling out most of it's contents over Poseidon. Thankfully, he is able to tip it back so that it's not spilling everywhere before it's empty. He then screws the cap back on and puts the salt back in his guitar case. Aw man. I was gonna use some of that later. He looks down at Poseidon. Oh, I spilled it on you. That's a waste of salt. Really. Hey, don't get salty about it dude. It wasn't exactly on purpose. Gosh, some people.
Alright, I'll take this Lunar Authority Wand and invest 24 charge in to making it a first-iteration magical transformation device, sash of power type! This isn't an upgrade, it's an artifact! Unroll!

Hey, Godmodder. While we're at this whole grand war thing, what're the names you want put in the history books for your country, your team, and you once this part's all over?
Calling your forces 'the godmodder's empire' to no end will always feel a bit pronoun-y to some.

You now make your own, improved Motorhog!! The Godmodder chooses to delete a Guard Drone, while P4 applies some quick healing to P2, while muttering a few words of encouragement to Wild Mike, healing the two for 20k each. P2 and P5 stand down, and watch as the spectacle that is Poseidon unfold. Now, the Monsterpig defects and joins our side, something that hasn't happened in a while. Wild Mike barrels towards the Lunar Matriarch, and despite the efforts of many, she finally goes down. Oh dear. What happens next is honestly kinda underwhelming: They just go burninate a drone for 48k damage.

The cloud of sentient water holding a Trident that is Dagon moves over to where TOG and Auma are standing, and impales them. This kills TOG, and deals 100k damage to Auma. Tendrils snake out from approximately where Dagon's face is, each seeking a target. Three of them pierce Astrec, Karpinsky and Leather Jacket Guy, causing the first of them to go down as well, while another three latch onto dropped artifacts on the field: Re Orbis, the Clear Thought, and the Lunar Authority Wand, the latter of which makes him go through a magical girl transformation which I will not go into detail about. They? then regenerate some Hp.
I'm pretty sure that this is a bad thing to happen.
-20 AG Morale.
With Wild Mike down, the Primal Guardian Spirit chooses to idle this round. Auma attempts to pull the wool over Dagon's eyes, but it turns out he's immune to illusions. With this known, Auma decides to blast him for 50k damage instead. The Grace Chicken dispatches a Fire Elemental. The Templars work on their base, building it up a bit. Securitron tosses grenades at Wild Mike, and blows him apart, dealing 1 damage to the Godmodder. The Guard Drones deal a collective 35k damage to one Fire Elemental. Revolver Ocelet spans each Fire Elemental with a further 5k damage each, regaining 6k Hp. Special Sam adds spikes to the Templar base, causing it to deal damage to those who attack it.

I claim the Monsterpig for my own and order him to attack a fire elemental.
Auma channels immense amounts of pure knowledge into Dagon using IPRC's light powers, flooding Dagon's mind. This cancels the effects of Clear Thought.
The Securitron opens fire on the fire elementals with his rockets, and then shoots one with the synchronicity rifle. Yay armor penetration.
I recognize the current threat, one posed to both sides, but as I am now I doubt my capacity to sufficiently alter the tides of the fight. I can spare one turn in the chamber before I figure I cannot help either way. I therefore begin training as if my life depends on it. Among the properties I have given this chamber, one is that it nullifies the, as I have heard it named, Hezecrusher effect, upon those within it while training. I therefore have also given it an entire set of most of the cast of Dragon Ball to train with. I am not going to stay for longer than a turn, so I have a year in the chamber to train.

I immediately grab the repair stone and orange lances. if this does not take an action, I use the Repair Stone to [repair stone], that is, heal the binding stone. In fact, I add it to the motormotorspinningcycle, so the Binding Stone is always getting repaired by the repair stone. if I can grab all the artifacts I want (doubt it) then I also get the swissarmyknifemodder(give to the PGS) and thiefs grasp (keep for now)
The Primal Guardian Spirit continues to act as before IE: attack anyone who attacks my forces, be completely incapable of attacking anyone else.
Templars continue working on the minifort like last turn, vintage conduit adds more GC if possible, The miners grab any artifacts that are available at the end of the turn, drones attack whoever But definitely not Dagon. or a fire elemental. So really, they attack anyone who the Godmodder summons for the purpose of our entity battle, and not for this.
researchers idle again to get to 8 RP.
You use the Repair Stone, to [Repair Stone] The Binding Stone for 40k Hp, consuming it in the process, and pick up one spear as well.

The Innovator comes online once again.
I press a few buttons on it and its barrel changes once again, growing shorter and thicker, until it's more of a handheld mortar than anything else.
When I pull the trigger, it fires half a dozen crumbler rounds at Dagon. Crumbler rounds are a rather ingenious bit of ammunition I picked up from an avaricious coworker. I'm hazy on how exactly they work once they go off, but the end result is a missing patch of matter. In this case, that matter used to belong to Dagon.
Grenades: 1/2 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge
Rockets: 1/5 a free-action, charged attack; ignores enemy dodge
Whatever avatar I'm using to play right now grabs the orange lances and uses them to bend space in such a way that the fire elementals occupy the same space as Dagon does. This either starts evaporating him, or killing them.
11/40
If it took an action to get the artifacts but i got all of them, I do the repair stone repairing stone thing. if it did not, but I could only grab some of them, I grab the rest. if it took an action and I only got some, I get the rest now.
If it was free and this is free, I create an orb of heal and offer it to Dagon as tribute. Or something.
Use psychic powers and 5 charge to electrocute Dagon with a whole burst of funky lightning electricity stuff! Electricity electrolyses water, which should convert parts of him into hydrogen and oxygen gas and thus de-waterify the vapor for damage. Ugh, at this rate it'll take forever to split from the Ned. Why'd he go and trick us into wasting so much charge on- Oh. Of course. That trickery. Of COURSE. Now, how am I doing this?
Body control momentarily established. Pose, right hand splayed over face, left arm dramatically gesturing behind me: I'd take a mask off or push up glasses but I'm not wearing those right now so oh well. The shimmering light of a cosmos-form emerges, the cosmic mist of the Ame-no-minaka-nushi coming forth with golden armor over the framework of that Higsby spirit of man, having taken for a moment the body of Grimoire of Alice already preparing a ball of electrical energies in its hands, being shaped like a plasma snowball of ridiculousness. Psychic power and processed charge turns into more and more electricity, concentrated into this bizarre ball and targeting guidance to its foe: Dagon-Poseidon-whatever-its-name-may-be, Lord of Water.
Persona!Electric Boost: Ziodyne!
Hands of stand-Persona shove forward; spell release. I relax, drop my hands, and laugh, as my stand returns to my body and I call it done for the moment too. The ball of lightning speeds toward Dagon, expanding into an actual stream of burning-bright energy trail spears, tracking hopefully enough to localize the offending mist among the rest of the mists in the area. When it reaches as close as it can be certain, it detonates like a marital argument between Zeus and Hera about how to smite someone: that is, with lots of lightning. Bolts of the stuff erupt, a veritable rainbow of electron transfer crackling branches in every direction all over the target, leaving not a piece of nearby mist un-electrolysed in bursts of oxygen and hydrogen gases like we're trying to fix the ozone layer or something.
Be wounded, great beast of the waters. Return or perish, facing our wrath.

SHITSHITSHIT
Astrec respawns, and if he can, runs and grabs as much of his stuff as possible. Then if JOE has his stuff, he yells at him to give it back.
ASTREC: JOE! GIVE THAT BACK! That's mine! Blegh. JOE, at this point you're a [N]. No-one likes [N]s.
You are dead because you just tried to fight a Great Old One while not bringing your A-Game.
Be respectful to JOE, he's keeping your dropped artifacts out of the hands of other people.
34/40 THUNDERSTRUCK It was only a bit of salt *grumble* *grumble*. But ha! He thought I use artifacts. Who does he think I am, Captain Magic Man? Well, he has given me no choice anyways. He needs to freeze, and there's only one song that really, really takes the cake on that. (I'm not going to enjoy this.) Swallowing his pride, LJG stands on the platform and simply pulls a microphone (Voice Projection Instrument) out of his guitar case. He stands there for a few more seconds, really hoping to not have to do this. Well, this is it. And so, he begins to sing. He uses a high pitched, almost irritating voice, as opposed to his usual manly voice. The humiliation runs all the way from his face to his out of style dance moves. And, finally, this is what he sings. The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway There... That should be enough. Someone, knock me unconscious so I get amnesia or something. Poseidon'd better be feeling chilly. LJG throws the microphone away, rejecting everything he just did. (Does a personal morale decrease increase hit chance?)

I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on

35/40 THUNDERSTRUCK What do I have for water prevention? LJG starts searching through his guitar case. Let's see... There's not much... Ah, here's something. LJG climatically, with no irony at all, pulls out an umbrella (Water Protection Instrument). He holds it in the most inconvenient way possible, which would be like he's holding a sword. He points it at Poseidon and jumps down from his platform onto... What is everyone standing on? Is the barn still intact? (Actually curious). At any rate, he jumps down so that he is level with Poseidon. He continues to point it at Poseidon, like it's actually doing something. He then declares, Poseidon, I challenge you to a... to a... Fencing Match. Sure. I say we use whatever we have on us currently. I don't think we need fancy shmancy fencing gear. You use your really big, dangerous trident, and I, I get to use my umbrella. That sounds fair. Now, what to fight for... I got it. If I win, you attack one thing of my choice, and if you win, I attack one thing of your choice. Since we have both taken some (I'll give you credit here) massive blows, I think that's fair. Okay? Here, I've got a contract (Legal Instrument) for each of us to sign. LJG pulls out a eight inch by twelve inch piece of paper that business people call a contract. It has a lot of normal rules and stuff for a fencing match and the terms that "they" had agreed to. He also hands a pen (Writing Instrument) to Poseidon and waits for him to sign it. So, I'm thinking we start next round, unless you kill me this turn. Then, we start the round after. I know you don't know what I'm yammering about, but it's important to mention.
I am still training to defeat the current threat. It has been six months. I should give the P2 and the Arbiter an update.
"I have trained for six months. I have no way to know much of what has happened out there. What is it looking like my friend. I have a question. If I hit you with a fire attack, would it heal you? I need to know in case you are injured when I return, as I think that your assistance will be beneficial in this fight, even if I did not consider you a friend. I have an idea for how to hit this guy. It involves Freezing him, keeping him steady, and then you hitting him with full force. Sound good?"
I have a feeling I should relay my current progress to you. I have reached five times earth's standard gravity, I have trained with every master below King Kai in strength thus far, and I am prepared to return next round. I don't know how much stronger I will be, but it has to be enough. I send this song to everyone. If you would be so kind as to play it to them for me. I train to it as you read this.

~~~~~~
I pull out an MP3 player, and start playing a song. It's a catchy song, so I want the whole battlefield to be able to hear it.
A massive set of speakers drops down onto the battlefield. My MP3 player syncs up with them, and they start playing the song.
Yes, it's catchy. So catchy that you might catch yourself dancing along, if you're not focused. But the real power of it is this:
This song is at the perfect resonance to disrupt Dagon's gaseous integrity. Simply put, he's going to lose a fair bit of mass until he can pull himself together, or until the song ends. Whichever comes first.
As Gaseous Neptune is not Gaseous Neptune and instead Solid Neptune, he only takes 18k damage from your sonic assault.
In addition, you create another Fire Elemental from your explosion. The Godmodder and her Praetors converse with each other out of my earshot, and come up with a plan. Joining hands, they summon three Voidlions. P2 then directs his small assembled force of Fire Elementals to attack the fort, and they break through the fort, destroying the Vintage FABBER conduit. Some of them also take fortspike damage in the process.

Neptune, now in solid ice form resumes his assault on his would-be assailants. Water flows from Karpinsky, as he is forcibly desiccated into a fine powder. He then flings shards of Ice-9 at Securitron, ParadoxdragonPaci, Nedben, and Auma for 55k (11 damage). He then swipes a tendril holding Clear Thought at Leather Jacket Guy, dealing 4 damage, and damaging his sanity. Finally, he also picks up the Fishery and regenerates.

The Primal Guardian Spirit uses Blazing Charge on three Fire Elementals, damaging them for 20k. Auma successfully enters the mind of Neptune, to shut down it's swordplay abilities for 50k damage, but is also driven insane in the process. The Grace Chicekn rakes it's claws across a Voidlion for 100k damage, and the Templars attack the Fire Elementals. The main group of templars sucessfully takes out one Elemental, while the Advanced Templar tangoes with the Greek Fire Elemental, dealing 35k damage to it. Secutitron Aims it's rockets, and fires on The Greek fire Elemental for 20k damage, striking the two Voidlions as well. It than also shoots another Fire Elemental.. The Guard Drones attack the Fire Elementals as well, but they aren't able to get past their new and improved armour to do much. Revolver Ocelto does a cool Reload, Special Sam uses Regemerate, and the Monsterpig eliminates a Fire Elemental.
