What did it do? My folder doesn't seem to be working...
For some reason, only the top folder on any given page of a forum thread will open.
Deleted the folder.

That guy
/R Pnull
Kai would be somewhat red-green colorblind. You know, because wolves wouldn't have much reason to be able to tell red objects from a green background. Us humans are pretty good at that compared to other animals. And yeah, Neo is a lot easier to type. And... Matrix.
Kai leaves her paw by Neo and turns to look away, still lying on the ground.
Um... okay. I'm not sure how still I can stay... I'll try though. And...
She looks back at Spirit, some of her tension easing.
I can talk to Spirit. Yeah, that will help.
She suddenly twitches her head to side and gasps.
hah... that tickles... and ... ah... and that stings... Ah... I imagine that this is what that... phantom limb sensation is like. But backwards. I'm getting such deja vu...
After inhaling sharply again, she shakes her head and leans back against Spirit.
I'll take some anesthetics. It's not... too bad. However... sometimes it's a real sharp pain all the sudden. I'm worried that the next one will be too strong and I'll pull away instinctively.
She tries to close her eyes and just ignore the sensations from her leg.
Yellowstone is fine. And being distracted by something or talking to someone always makes pain feel a little better. ... Especially if that person is your soul mate.
However, now threatened by the mechas, Kai pulls her paw away from Neo and gets to her feet. And of course, she immediately starts protesting against his request.
No! It doesn't matter. I might not be able to bend or feel my wrist, but I can still hit something with it! I don't mind my leg taking a little longer because this is more important! I can stay like this for years if it means that Spirit is safe. I'm tired, yes, but a little adrenaline and I'm fine!
However, when she turns back to look at Spirit, the look of fire and determination in her eyes quickly fades, getting replaced by one of embarrassment.
I... Um... no, I want to keep fighting! I have to, really... um... To keep... uh... ... ... okay... fine... If you want me to... okay...
Now somewhat irritated, she lies down again and puts her right paw by Neo.
... Do whatever you think is necessary. I still don't like this.
She started to hum slightly. It wasn't an attempt to use any kind of spell; she still wasn't feeling well enough for anything complicated. However, she had recovered enough to where she could use her music as echolocation again, and that was what she did now.
um... Yeah... I'm sorry Sweet Spirit... Sorry if I made you feel... um... patronized... I don't want you to get hurt by anything, especially after seeing the... nightmare.
And then she got philosophical again.
It's strange... Being a good person means the only one you're allowed to hurt and not protect is yourself... Look out for yourself, and you're selfish. Look out for others at the cost of yourself, and you're a dying hero. The lesson always is that your own health comes last. But if it doesn't come last, what does?
Kai then looks down and lays her head against Spirit.
Or... uh... I don't really know. ...
Yeah, Wilson has an enchantment that does that. He didn't apply that himself, so until after he had a sidequest, he was completely mute. I kinda miss having him reply to everything by motioning towards something. ... Um... also, how does Neo touch anything in that case? Being an... energy field, you know.
Kai just listens quietly, not wanting to interrupt. But afterwards, she asks,
Um... what do you mean found out as gods? I'm not sure what that means...
Cynder looks up at Sigma, the tiny dragon seeming unaffected by staring up at the Charizard. She also was completely unaffected by the fact Sigma just attacked the Infinity Weapon.
Hm? You want me to fight you? Why? I'm not scared of you. Or really even impres- hold on a moment, sport.
She holds up her leg in a 'wait' command to Sigma and looks over at Wilson again. Then she lies down on the ground and seems to write something on the bracer around her leg, then gets up and looks at Sigma again.
What was I talking about? ... ... Anyway, your kind doesn't last very long, villains never do—dust on the wind. You'll fade in time. Villains rarely have self reinforcing goals, so they never last. Dust on the wind.
She was... unnaturally detached from what was happening. There's a Youtube Channel... I do some stuff with it...
/Null
I think I'm putting in a lull until the next turn. Too much spam, anyway. I have to give Tabbune a break. Enough to answer your comments, though.
That kind of makes sense. There aren't that many red prey/predatory animals that live in green environments, I suppose. I also can't argue with the shortcuts. Also, what was that last one?
Ah, that sounds like it would've been fun. I would've liked to see that. Though, when you follow around a group of Telepaths, one of whom happens to be mute, themself, it kind of spoils the communication barrier if someone can just hear their thoughts. Also, Neo may be an energy field, but he fixed the whole incorporeality problem by enveloping himself in metal, which is manipulated by his magnetic powers. Unlike the other Aspects, he lacks a physical form. He has control over Magnetism, so he molds metal to create a humanoid vessel for himself, allowing him to touch things: an Avatar. Without any metal, he'd be reduced to using gravity wells to roughly manipulate things, and that wouldn't be very delicate. When you can experience everything your 'siblings' can by building yourself a body, it broadens your horizons. Neo's one of the most fun Aspects to follow. He can even be cute sometimes, with his efforts to understand social customs.

Beta watches the flashback, visibly wincing.
Yep, that's Alpha all right. But that's so out of character for him. He- he normally doesn't do sneak attacks. My guess is that he was trying to justify you guys having to fight him through actions like that. That or he missed the landing terribly, with the voice just appearing.
Indeed. That action is far more reminiscent of Iota. It is possible that he tried to use the same tactics, but his own sense of honor forced him to pull his punch, so to speak.
What do you mean?
I have done the calculations in my head. He was going quite fast. With just his weight alone, this would have caused the Guardian to... suffer considerably more damage. However, it did not. My theory is that he resented the idea of having to fight his own former allies so much that he subconsciously sabotaged himself occasionally, lowering the damage output. In this case, he decelerated just before impact, counteracting enough of his velocity to cause relatively minor damage.
... Can you try that again, but in words that everyone understands?
I'll try. In simple terms, the back of his mind made him attack much softer than normal every so often. When he attacked the Guardian, he slowed down before he hit it. Is that an acceptable translation?
Very. Thanks a lot.
She then redirects her attention to Shadow.
Sorry, I didn't want to assume. It did not go pretty the last time I did that.
She tilts her head as Shadow mentions the word Musha.
Musha, huh? Now there's a name I haven't heard in a while... Huh? Oh, sorry, I was just thinking. That's actually a go-to alias when we don't want to draw attention. You know, being named after the Greek alphabet will cause a lot of trouble when people who know about the Godmodders are present. After the fifth time one of us nearly died, we decided to each use an alias so that we don't upset these entities. So, we decided to use the names of what we were designed after. So, I'm Musha Mk. 2, Gamma's Commando, Delta's Knight, and Omega's Psycho.
Pretty fitting, if you ask me.
I didn't. Now take it back, or I know for a fact that Omega's going to have an "accident" like last time.
That really was an accident!
... Uh huh.
It was! Tell her, Gamma!
I don't know, I really don't want to take any sides here.
... I'm going to eat you.
Please don't.
You started it.
And I'm finishing it! Gamma, apologize. Omega.... Don't eat Gamma.
Fine. Sorry, Mega.
Is that a jab at my size?
Here we go again...
Really? I... wouldn't have guessed. That sounds like a lot of power. I'm glad to see that it's in good hands.
As for what you can call us, it doesn't matter. You can call me whatever. G, Gam, I don't really care. I like to call Delta D.
And I really hate that. You could at least say the first syllable of my name.
D is an entire syllable.
... I'm done talking to you for now.
Oh, come on!
Not a word.
Delta lets out a small snorting sound when he hears Kai's philosophy.
Heh. You know, I feel the exact same way. After all, that's why I was born. But recently, there have been a few thoughts otherwise. I immediately pushed them aside, but hearing you say it out loud... It makes me wonder: is there anything more to life than what we have to do? We have to live, of course, but what should happen in this life? Will it be remembered? Eh, for my family, probably not. But as long as there are people to remember other things, then our mission was a success. That's been our line of thinking our entire lives. Now... I'm starting to doubt that. What if our efforts give rise to another, greater threat? One that we can't fight? Or maybe it's already happened...
Delta looks solemnly at the creature that used to be his brother.
What am I talking about? I just need to protect as many people as I can. That's the best I can hope for in this world, right? Suck it, troper!

Sorry for late update... I blame midterm holidays.

Speed warns everyone about Ex from the Respawn Lounge. Then, Hunter fires 4 shots at the Left Hand, destroying it, and then fire an excess shot at the torso for 3000 damage .
Infinity fails to punch the Left Hand, so he punches the Right Arm instead, destroying it. He punches it so hard that it wipes Persist off the two Hands, destroying both permanently.
Shadow launches a Weaponized Fireball at a Mecha Spider, dealing 5500 critical damage to one of them and destroys it. (NO it doesn't level them out... being cool means it's even harder for me to get rid of them >_<.) The Guardian uses it's Venom, applying Venom to every PG. The Infinity Weapon fires a Red Cosmic Beam at the Grand Deicide's torso, dealing 40000 damage as well as burning it for 10000 a turn for 3 turns.
(Piono:You had a wound from before. Wound + Moderate Wound = Deep Wound.) Deimos uses one of the Weapons to create a 10000 HP harrier for them, and one to heal the Grand Burn. The Magic Matrix is fixed two launch two turns from now. (Also, is it okay if I was adding a Rune Charge passively in your turn?)
Solar prepares to summon the Providence. Oh dear. Looks like I have to prepare medicines for the master. He's gonna have a headache.
Alexis punches the torso for 4000 damage. (What's the -1 charge thing about?)
The Providence is finally summoned after a short delay. Stats after tweaks. (Phew...)
T-man attacks the torso for 7000 damage. The Demon eats an Imp to increase his damage for the turn. The Demon then attacks a Spider for 10000 damage.
Talist protects Piono with the Staff of Ysera. (Okay. I'm not gonna fidget with him. Him coming before I handled the formatting and statting for Entities makes him hard to keep track off, so sorry that I threw the responsibility of handling her to you. Also, no more transformations after this.) Cynder adds two of the Mecha Skeletons and Piono to the Aura of Time. Then, he proceeds to combo the two Mechs down with time shenanigans. After that, he takes 3000 damage and places an Ender Crystal.
(Sacred: What heal?)
GWing bashes the torso with a giant hammer, dealing 4000 damage.
Walrus swoops a Spider for 4000 damage, killing an injured spider.
Jindra attacks the Grand Deicide's torso for 4000 damage with a shockwave. Then, the Heavenbringer attacks the torso for 15000 damage.
Sigma uses his Solar Beam on The Infinity Weapon. Charging up... Yeah, I think I should just turn the sun on. 10800 damage to the Infinity Weapon and 1200 damage to Sigmazard. Beta attacks a Mecha Skeleton for 7500 damage. Gamma attacks a Mecha Skeleton for lethal.
—
End of turn:
Stupid oversized piece of junk!
Cooldowns charges.
The head attacks Piono with a laser beam, but half of it is blocked by Talist. Piono's barrier is destroyed.
The torso is heald for 66700 from Regenerator.
The Mecha Skeletons all activate Bone Arrows, taking 1000 damage and gaining a massive power boost for the turn. One of them wipes out the Imps. One of them attacks Talist, Moderately Wounding him. The other attacks Hunter, dealing 15000 to his barrier.
The Mecha Spiders gangs up on the S.A.D. crew, dealing 5000 to each member, except Beta, who dodges.
The Venom ticks in, dealing 0 to the head, and 2000 to the torso and every Mech.
The Ultimate Armor's Divine Light ticks in, dealing 0 to the head and 2000 to the torso and every Mech.
Hunter's barrier regenerates for 4000, but is burned for 3000 by the Grand Burn.

First in and first knocked out
@tabbune: Oh okay, I thought that I'd have to not do that to keep my stats, but yeah, that's okay. Also, shouldn't the grand deicide's head invulnerability be one lower? Believe it or not, I'm trying to time my attack to be able to actually damage the head since otherwise a lot of damage is gonna get wasted, so I tried to time it for the round the head comes out of invulnerability.
180
- 1 to talist, walrus and jondanger
Eric is really struggling to hold it together at this point. Deimos freaks out, and drops down another shield barrier (weapon expended) and Hank struggles with the runic words, finally getting the last ones out. weapon expended on healing Eric as much as possible.
Welp, I expected the weapons to last longer than that, oh well.
DTG Co Labs I can haz youtubes?
EAT YOUR GREENS
Providence: READY
”Well, I suppose I’m using this attack for Solar. I’m sure they won’t mind.”
“And you know the procedure?”
”Of course.”
Emmaline raises an arm to the sky, stretching it out as if to reach the stars.
”This world is falling apart, just like yours once was. A strange threat, human but not human, threatens this world, just like it did yours. This place needs a protector, just like your lands so did as well.”
”So, Bulwark of the Weak, will you answer this humble call to arms? To once more take up your holy blade and guard those who cannot entirely defend yourselves?”
”Hear my prayer, o Providence!”
Nothing happens for a few still seconds, and then a figure appears behind Emmaline suddenly.
”...I have heard you.”
Providence stands calmly, carrying a gigantic greenish sword in one hand, reddish cloak billowing behind it. It is tall - around fifteen feet high - and carries an incredible air of authority. Whatever this being is, it is not of this world, and is clearly very strong.
”And the grave danger is...?”
”The Godmodder, or at least that’s what he calls himself.”
”The Godmodder and those associated with him. Very well. They will be dealt with.”
Providence teleports forwards to the Grand Decide and attacks it, swiping upwards with its sword. Emmaline follows up with a series of stabs.
Charges
Something bad: 36/120 (+1 me, +1 Sp33d) note
Flora: 1/? note
2 charges to Meme, 1 charge to h2o
WHOOO! That is the first time I've ever actually summoned any sort of entity, and I have to say, that felt awesome. Now I just have to finish the stats for Something bad because that one's a real doozy.
And in case nobody knows who Providence is - I'm willing to bet a lot of people don't - here
is its wiki page.

For anyone wondering what, exactly, the Ultimate Armor is supposed to look like, it's supposed to look like the armor of the same name from the Mega Man X series. My version has different abilities, though.

Hunter scans the battlefield with his pistol.
Strategy... Strategy... Oh, got one!
Hunter looks at a wall or barrier. His breathing slows. His senses focused on his task.
This shot is easy. Give me something harder.
He pulls the trigger. The bullet flies towards the wall, then ricochets right off. The bullet bounces in an almost circular shape around Beta and Shadow, before that bullet nails the Grand Decide in the torso.
Nice.
Four more bullets ping a Mecha Skeleton.
The Respawn Lounge. I want to get this done before Hunter.
Fira notices Asriel being... Sad.
Hey, Asriel, you okay? Is something wrong?
Meanwhile, Speed paces the lobby.
I have no idea what my next move should be.
Cynder got a Super Form, basically, so you should support her.
Well... I have used that before too.
Not the same way Cynder did it, but yeah.
All right, that's what I'll do.
I seem to be pretty done. So...
Action Summary:
Hunter ricochets a shot around Shadow and Beta, hitting the Great Decide's Torso, before shooting four bullets at a Mecha Skeleton.
Fira attempts to talk to Asriel in the Respawn Lounge while Speed plans his next move.
Special Attacks:
Last Stand: (+1 from Sacred, Solar) 10/120
Super Form: 3/120
- 1 to Sacred, Solar, Memelord.
As he is attacking the Deicide, he stops for a moment.
Ooh I can't feel the Imps anymore. They must've died or something.
He runs towards the Deicide, shooting a giant flamethrower at the Deicide. He keeps the constant stream of fire up. As he's doing this, his demon mentally communicates with him.
Charles, what do you want?
Na Imps umrlo. Sam stvara se još.
Ah that's good.
Jedem.
....Err, what exactly are you trying to do, you've eaten one already.
Pokušavam da razvije.
Evolve? That's nice. Well you can do whatever you want now, they're your imps anyway.
He cuts the mental link, continuing to keep up his stream of fire. After the demon absorbs the Imp, he lunges at the nearest Mecha Skeleton, creating a giant claw of fire and slashing at it.
Obligatory leader of some supposed "base" that wasn't brought out of nowhere, most definitely.THE BOSS: 21/120Horribly undeveloped obligatory "best friend" of avatar right now.Bob:10/80Ass Pull mode.Evolution: 98 Imps left Great, another stupid thing I'm doing. Well, what this is about is that if the Fire demon eats a substantial amount of Imps (100) he will evolve to another demon form. I would add increased stats, but that's too early (and I don't even know stats I could set.) Of course, due to this, I'm dropping the attack increase whenever the Imp is waten (also the health increase, or severely nerf it I dunno.)
@Tabbune: Err... you forgot my action.
I just do a generic heal on an AG entity because I'm too sapped for creativity to think of anything clever.
Project Starfall Revisited: 27/120 (+1 from Piono)
The Tower: 26/120
- 2 to piono, +1 to alpha
Can't post today. I was really busy.
I shoot a skeleton from out the window with a pistol.
This is so cool!

Something Stunning: 79/? (Announcer.) Hint: Think positive thoughts.
Anti-Construct Gear: 19/? (Announcer.) Hint: Can be upgraded into stronger versions.
Shadow blinks, frowning.
"Judging by what you said, and your reaction, I...take it this is way off for him. It's really bad, because the Guardian can hold a wicked grudge to anyone who breaks his code."
He tilts his head.
"You mean to say that he subconsciously chose not to do full damage to the Guardian? Well...I don't know if that's enough consolation for him, since Alpha did still try to kill or blind him...and now, since Alpha's currently out of commission, I guess we can plan on how to deal with Sigmazard over there, before he ticks off more highly-powerful beings.
He blinks.
"Codenames, eh? Well, that's interesting. I'm a bit foggy on Godmodders, having battled...Richard, right? Anyway, I've only battled him once in a war before. That's the extent my knowledge comes to. I heard a Villain was attacking a world outside his own, and I decided to act."
He blinks, listening to the banter.
"Well, I suppose that's a good demonstration of your group dynamic...anyway, I think we should focus on defeating Sigmazard, so we can de-fuse Alpha and Sigma. I actually had Neo abandon one of his Avatars earlier because we thought an energy being or AI needed a form. Is there a way we can shunt either Alpha or Sigma's mind to a new body?"
Neo continues his examination and tests on Kai's foreleg, studying the internal mechanisms and working out how to avoid any possible damaging mistakes.
"I must say, your foreleg is a marvel of modern cybernetic engineering. I do not usually get to examine something of this caliber, much less get called upon to repair it."
He blinks, and glances to Kai.
"I intend no discomfort. It is just a layout of circuitry that I am not yet familiar with. I am learning quickly, however."
He continues his work, sifting through the damaged wires and patching up some gaps. Spirit nods to Kai, leaning against her as well.
'First of all, Neo has trouble sounding reassuring, sometimes, but he means well...second...yes, I'll grow something for the pain. I know just the thing, and it doubles as a little snack, too...'
S/he gives Kai a playful look, and glances down, sifting the earth to make a small hole, and s/he then deposits a small fruit pit into it. S/he brushes the soil back onto the pit, and then manipulates some of the water from the lake to hydrate it. A small, dwarf tree, as if in fast-forward, springs forth from the ground, quickly flowering and beginning to sprout plump, dark red cherries. Spirit picks a few, and sets them on a patch of grass beside the tree, and picks one up. As s/he does this, s/he lifts their right hand, and flicks their wrist, causing a retractable, bladed thorn to emerge from beneath their skin. S/he then uses this thorn to pit the cherries, and places the halved cherries in the dish that held Kai's Sanguine, and retracts the thorn-blade. S/he lifts the dish up to Kai, a happy look in their eyes.
'Here you go...tart black cherries. They're good for pain. If you don't think of it as medicine, think of it as a treat...~'
No, really. Spirit's right. I did some research. Cherries are good for pain relief. My Stepdad drinks cherry juice for his Gout.
S/he tilts their head.
'Yes, I imagine that us being together helps...especially when I can provide for you at moments like this...'
Neodyme gives a bitter look, shaking his head.
"This is a very taxing procedure. I am doing the best I can to keep this as safe and quick as I can, so that you will be back on all four feet as soon as possible. Then you can protect your soul mate."
He sulkily glances away, blinking.
"I must admit, your raw determination and utter dedication to protecting the Sacred Spirit impresses me..."
Spirit rolls their eyes, and gives Neo a friendly look.
'I'm surprised, and I'm the one who's her soul mate.'
S/he looks back to Kai, and gives her a sympathetic look, tilting their head.
'I know you want to help, but your leg could be exploited as a weakness. I can protect you for now, but, when you rest after Neo finishes fixing it, then you and I can stand side-by-side again.'
Neo nods, taking Kai's paw, and beginning to continue repairs on the inner workings.
"Whether you like it or not is none of my concern. I apologize for my bitterness, but I truly do want you to be as healthy and capable as possible."
Spirit blinks, and shakes their head, eyes wide in surprise.
'Oh, no, I'm not offended at all...I'm touched! That dedication...it's something I never expected...I just don't want you to get yourself gravely hurt for me, that's all...after my nightmare, your safety is my concern, too...'
S/he listens to Kai's musings, blinking, and sighs.
'Yes, there is a very fine line between being a selfless protector and a martyr, but it isn't impossible to avoid crossing it. You can look out for others and still take care of yourself. I should know, because I try to whenever possible, but, sometimes, I have no choice...like that...fire...curse...it was either to take it myself or leave it to burn you and the others...I don't regret my decision. That doesn't mean my lesson is wrong, though. It just means it didn't apply in that case...'
S/he glances between Kai and Delta, looking confident.
'Come on! This isn't the time for such dark, nihlistic thoughts...we can do this! You can't give up hope just because it's hopeless! I know things look down, and it's like this is a tunnel that goes on forever into the darkness, but there's always a guiding light on the other side! I know that we can pull through together, and, when this is all over, we can all stand together and celebrate our successes, our triumphs...'
S/he glances down to Kai, a warm look in their eyes.
'...and our own new beginnings...'
Light appears by them, and smiles warmly.
"I have to say, that was quite the moving speech. I agree with everything."
Spirit looks back to Kai, and blinks.
'Huh...? O-oh, I thought I told you...Neo, Light, Shadow, Fury, Arkus, and Galvix may be essentially my siblings, but we're actually kind of parts of the same person...while I may be a Nature Spirit, I'm...technically a Nature...Deity...we're the split pieces of a God who broke themself into parts in order to bring life to their world. I'm the Aspect of Nature. We tend to hide our full energy when we travel, so we don't get too many people tracking us or asking why we're giving off that much power...that also helps to show that we're also perceptive of other power signatures...we can detect Magic pretty well.'
Shadow watches as Hunter makes his shot, ducking and holding onto his hat.
"That was surprising, Hunter, but it was pretty great!"
He looks back to Beta.
"Anyway, like I said, Sigmazard has to be dealt with. He's tough, he's crazy, and he's keeping us from saving Alpha. If Alpha's not in control, and Sigma's in that organic body, that means I can't use too much force on him, since I have a moral code of honor against killing. I think I'm going to try to stop him in his tracks, so he can't do anything until we figure out a way to unfuse him."
Action:
Shadow uses a Weapon charge, pulling out a handgun and firing a superchilled tranquilizer dart in order to paralyze Sigmazard.
Infinity Weapon growls, and takes a menacing stance.
IF YOU SO WISH TO CHALLENGE A DIVINE SERVANT, FOOLISH CREATURE, THEN SO BE IT...I SHALL SEE TO IT THAT YOU WILL FALL BEFORE ME!"
Meanwhile, hearing Shadow and Beta talking, the Guardian turns his head, blinking, and casts one last glare at the Grand Deicide.
"Retribution for Rossse can wait...it isss time to secure my vengeanccce..."
The Guardian slithers over to Sigmazard, a spitefully-amused look in his eyes.
"Ssso...I hear you are currently within an organic body, that also containsss my nemesssisss...that'sss good...flesssh and bone are ssso much easssier to digessst than iron and sssteel...you know, now that I can have a good look at you, one word comesss to mind..."
He rears, flares his hood, and bares his fangs in a malicious grin, licking his lips in cruel anticipation.
"Sssupper..."
Shadow blinks, watching this scene, and frowns.
"Oh no."
ENTITY ACTION:
Infinity Weapon tries to stomp on Sigmazard, and then the Guardian strikes at the homicidal Pokémon, going for his neck.
Plus three to Talist.
@Tabbune: By the way, what does Deafening Roar do again? I've forgotten most of my Entity abilities. Is there a way you could send me a doc with my info in it?

I'm not exactly surr if I can update today. I have something going on. If I do update, it's probably gonna be late.

Sorry... I can't do a full, proper post... thing. Too much homework. And... sorry to Sacred Spirit for not being able to respond to that PM. I want to, though.
Got +7 total, +2 additional. +1 to Spirit, Infinity, Piono. Sorry Alpha, but you are saying that if I assist you, it will speed up the timer for something bad to happen.
@Tabbune: Hey, I rather like the idea of my characters having super mode things. And I don't expect Cynder to last more than... like... a week or two. She deals stupid high damage with the Aura of Time, but is really fragile.
I realize that I am dying slightly, but that's not much of a concern.
Conditional Action! OH BOY! If Piono's rune charge thing isn't done, I assist that. Otherwise, I shove more medical equipment into Piono (or technically Eric)'s face in a desperate attempt to keep him alive.
Cynder adds The Guardian and the Infinity Weapon to the Aura of Time then uses Radiant Ice, hitting everything in her Aura (Piono, Guardian, Infinity Weapon) with 2 shards, giving them a +6,000 HP per turn heal for 2 turns. The Ender Crystal targets Piono and heals him for +5,000 HP per turn for 3 turns. So... because all three are in the Aura of Time, their buffs trigger twice and that's...
+12,000 HP to Guardian/Infinity Weapon, +22,000 HP to Piono (whatever that converts to in player hp) and +5,000 HP per turn for 1 turn. Cynder is all about manipulating those buffs.
Then Cynder places her 2nd Crystal and takes 4,000 damage.
Aura of Time contains: Piono, Guardian, Infinity Weapon.
It looks like you three are doing something important over there. That means it would be bad if you died.
Edit- Maybe missing a turn now isn't too terrible because Tabbune is missing one too...

I contribute to Piono's rune spell. Heavenbringer will attack Deicide's torso.
@Talist: That's alright, I'd really like this to get resolved before it happens lol
Sigma roars as he is wounded.
Ah, so this is what pain feels like. I like it! I love feeling all of these sensations! They are truly magnificent! If I'd known this is what it'd be like, I would've gotten myself an organic body much sooner!
He then looks at Cynder as she monologues against him with a bemused look in his eye.
True, I may be dust on the wind, but you forget that enough dust can wither even steel.
He chuckles.
Besides, I seriously doubt that you can do that much to me in the state you're in now.
He turns away just in time to see the Infinity Weapon attack him. He clumsily jumps backward to try to avoid it, then spins and catches the Guardian as it lunges at him, prying its jaws wide open.
I seriously wouldn't recommend eating me. You'd probably get a bad case of heartburn.
With that, he takes a deep breath and blows a stream of flames down its gullet.
The wild Sigmazard uses Flamethrower!
He then throws the Guardian to the ground.
If you still think you can handle me, then I welcome your attempts.
Beta chuckles.
Yeah, we're a riot, all right.
She flinches as Hunter's bullet passes in front of her, then follows it to its destination. Upon hitting, she turns and gives Hunter a thumbs up. She then looks at Sigma once more.
I couldn't agree with you more. Anyways, you're about to see what it looks like when we work together. Delta, is your armor ready?
Affirmative. Should I use it now?
You got it. We'll combo, alright?
Understood.
Delta walks away from Spirit and Kai for reasons that are about to become apparent. Gamma holds his hand out.
Hey, don't overdo it this time, alright? I really don't want to have to do a complete replacement in the middle of battle.
Delta just looks back.
No promises.
Holding his sword high in the air, Delta utters three divine words:
Ohmho... Timsako... Darakeek!!
Once these words are spoken, a lightning bolt strikes him, forcing everyone currently watching to shield their eyes. When they look back they see that he has transformed from his normal self
to another form
that was similar, yet had striking differences. The main ones are that his armor was mainly a striking blue rather than the original silver, as well as well as his sword being on fire.
Who's the target, Beta?
Sigma.
Understood.
He then rushes towards Sigma. Beta looks at Shadow.
Well, it's been nice talking to you, but I gotta go now. Control: Surge!
She seems to suddenly lose some of her form and become a being of semi-pure energy. She dashes forward erratically, jumping about through currents of electricity at random, but still towards her target.
Delta is the first to reach Sigma. He leaps past, striking him. Spinning, he uppercuts with the sword, creating a pillar of flame that launches him into the air. Beta then appears, performing multiple cuts in midair while disappearing and reappearing at various locations. When she lands again, she regains her normal form, but is visibly tired. Delta lays a hand on her shoulder. Beta simply shrugs it off.
Are you alright?
Yeah, it's just... huff... been a while since I last used that. I'm just winded, is all.
Gamma watches as Delta rushes off, grumbling.
I hate it when he does that. Just running off, no cares about what happens to his body...
He walks toward Spirit.
Well, I heard snippets of the conversation that you two had, so I think I can pick up where you two left off. I should probably start with a little fact: We're actually not that different. Just like you all woke up individually, so did we. Needless to say, Alpha and Beta were the first to wake up. It took a grand total of one year for us all to wake up. Heh. It's funny. We considered those days our birthdays. But, uh, I really don't think they matter here. Just another day in the life, am I right? ... I wish Theta was here. I miss him.
He looks at his trembling hands. He wills them to be still. He looks back at Spirit, acting cheerful again.
Sorry about that, just an old memory. So, uh, just pick up where ya left off with D, okay?
Action Summary:
Sigma uses Flamethrower on the Guardian, Delta activates his Full Armor Mode and attacks Sigma, and Beta activates Control: Surge and attacks Sigma twice.

Woops. Looks like I missed a turn, and now Sigma's either turned into a giant robot or merged with a Charizard. No matter.
EDIT: Alpha is a Mega Charizard X. That makes this action slightly justified, I guess. Seeing a pokémon might cause the Pokémon libraries to auto-load.

Grenade type loaded: Pokéball.

Unloading failed.
The robot shrugs and shoots what looks like a quick ball, but is actually a paralysis grenade, at Sigmazard.

Well... if we want to get all evolutionary biologist here, humans are so good at color vision because it really helps for discerning brightly colored fruit from their green leafy backgrounds. Or maybe fruit evolved to be brightly colored because some animals could easily discern that from the green background. It's probably some of both. Predator animals, like wolves, don't really have all that much use for color vision, unless it helps them discern other animals from their background, which it usually doesn't. They benefit more from smell, hearing, and motion detection. Color vision is usually good for spotting things that want to be seen, such as fruit. It's not so good for finding things that don't want to be seen, like other animals. But then again, I'm not an evolutionary biologist.
And on a rather creepy note, I realized that to Kai, Spirit would look like a similar color to blood.
((Spirit is first, chronologically))
A lot of people have been poking around at me. ... It makes me feel like I'm on some kind of podium. Or in a zoo. ... Um... it's okay, I suppose. Thank you for your efforts. ...
She suddenly turns her head and forces her eyes shut for a moment. When she opens them again, she looks up at Spirit.
Ah... it's okay. I think he's nice, even if he sometimes doesn't show it. ... And yeah, I'm sort of hungry. ... That will be nice. Thank you. ...
She watches Spirit work, being captivated by the tree when it sprouts. Curious, she tugs her right paw a little to get closer to the tree. But then realizing that she was getting in the way of Neo's repairs, she backs up.
Oh, I'm sorry Neo... I didn't mean to interrupt you. I just wanted a closer look...
Then she realized she had actually missed some of what Spirit did and looked with surprise at the cherries.
Oh, thank you, Spirit. ... I'm kinda hungry, still. Also, you brought that dish.
She tilts her head down and grabs one of the cherries, biting into it happily and spilling juice on herself.
I've had cherries a few times, not that often though. They're pretty nice, especially these ones. They're really good. Thank you...
Although, I'm somewhat worried about how Kai, a carnivore, has only eaten fruit based products.
While being questioned about her decision to stand up, she just looks down, sort of looking scolded.
... I just thought that would be the right thing to do. I didn't really think about anything else. I felt like it wouldn't be a problem. Or at least... wouldn't be that much of a problem.
She looks up at Spirit softly.
Okay... I suppose you are more able to protect me right now... I am glad you appreciate my effort though. ... Eh... I probably just need to... yeah... rest... maybe...
Well... I meant more that I disliked having to... stand down in something like this. It's not about your craftsmanship. I'm glad you're doing this, Neo.
Kai lies down and leans towards Spirit a little.
You didn't expect that? ... Hah... Now I'm the one who should be offended! I'd absolutely be illogical and self destructive for you! And... like... I feel kinda like... that's... what love is really...
Y-you're right. ... I mean, when I'm not being illogical, um... being with you is like looking out for both of us. ... But situations can kinda prevent that. ... And... you've been self destructive for me, so of course, I need to always repay the favor, whenever I can. It's the least I can do. ... Maybe the thing about being good is that you think more situations don't give you the choice to do anything but be selfless. ... That's kinda confusing.
For philosopher Kai to Delta.
Hm? I guess the real cynical question is... Is the whole purpose of being good and selfless just so others can be selfish? That sort of... sounds like what you're asking. ... I have to... respect you for you do and your attitude for it. ... Even though I don't know what that is. ... ... You seem to be really accepting of things. ... Although, for me, I don't really care too much about how I'm remembered because when I'm gone, I'm... gone. ... But I can understand why people... worry about it...
Realizing something, Kai looks down, seemingly in thought. She's slowly risen out of it by Spirit's speech, but she still seems worried. Actually, her worry comes back on hearing Spirit talk about their... uh... classification? (Let's do this slightly out of order)
Hey... um... S-sweet Spirit? Didn't you say you're from somewhere called... the... Gardens of Unity? ... Is that the world you're referring to? And... So...
She studders for a little while, trying to ask it.
You... uh... you're a god... and really strong... with a lot of power... um... That means you'll... live a long time... Like, a really long time. ... But... ... My life isn't... that long... ... Um... That's not even counting how much I'm probably... ruining my health in the long term. ... Um... ... I mean... I want to spend my time with you... but... ...
She just trails off after that.
Or... um... nevermind. I've just... heard stories about this kind of thing...
She looks away, distressed at the thought. However, she's startled and suddenly looks up at Light (huh? Did I miss something?)
Wh- what? Who... uh...
She starts thinking for a while. Based on his sudden appearance by Spirit, he was probably an aspect like them. Then she thought back (because I'm doing this out of order) to when Spirit was listing all the Aspects, and so by elimination,
... Are you... Light? Maybe?
CYNDER:
Starting to get into this new state, Cynder replies calmly.
Indeed. You do have more health than me and considerably better defenses. However, I can effectively take down half your health in one solid darkfire hit. Based on how I work, it would take two or three turns, but it would only cost me one action. That's what seeing time gives.
