That sounds horrible.
How could a board game ever replace a picnic?
Okay.
Engie.
First.
Thank you.
Second.
We really have to have a little talk about your "thing" for me.
I don't even know what to call it.
Also.
That's not how you type like me.
I replace all punctuation that involves pausing.
As well as sometimes when sentences get too long.
With line breaks.
Except semicolons.
Now.
Lastly.
I'm going to go on a bit of a tangent.
I DO have emotions!
I usually don't show them on the battlefield.
But they exist!
Are some of them a little impaired?
Perhaps.
But I'm NOT a sociopath!
But for the past couple of days...
I've been wishing I was.
Welcome to Text Adventure: Antichamber. (V. 4.22.) Enter prompt.
> Walk across path slowly.
What path? You are quite sure that there has never been a path anywhere near where you are currently standing. In your attempts to look for one, you accidentally step forward, landing on a path that materialized. How convenient. It seems to lead past the motion ball and to the new staircase. You walk on the path, eventually standing on the base of the staircase.
> Up staircase.
You proceed to walk up the new staircase. It goes right and then right again. Eventually, it levels out and forms a path. The path advances to the wall in front of you. There is an opening for you to get out of the chamber, but it is currently blocked by a white wall. You are not sure how to get rid of it and escape the container.
What will you do now?

Unfortunately, I will not be able to post today. Expect no posts on Sundays from now on. Please try to keep posts to a minimum, and do not do any more fightposts. However, I will try to work on the Fightlog. But before I do...
You guys NEED to calm down with the fightposts. There are 4 new pages today filled with them. I'm serious. It's going to be extremely hard for me to do fightposts if you guys keep posting like this.
engie_ninja, the L()rd, Eric, and The_Serpent have all assembled at a hill outside of Serpent's Tower on her land. They prepare for strife. Eric is the first one to talk; he slips his handgun inside his trench coat.
EM: Engie, I'm a multiversal being too. I've been living in various universes since I was seventeen. EM: I spend more time in the Void than you do. GA: That doesn't change the fact that you all are arrogant. Something's going to have to be done about you. (): WHY D()N'T WE JUST FIGHT ALREADY? EM: Hold on a second, Lord...
Eric notices a blurry shape speeding towards him, behind the players. He jumps out of the way of Tricky, who barrels into the field. Tricky turns to look at the L()rd, who backs away uneasily.

Serpent shoots a bolt of Phazon at engie's drone, infecting him with its corruption. Although it fades shortly, a good deal of machinery is eaten away. engie starts to lunge at Serpent, but Tricky slams into both engie and the L()rd. Eric barely has time to put up a shield for him and Serpent before the impact.
EM: Incoming!
The collision blows away a quarter of Serpent's planet. It's gone. Erased. The remaining portions of the land are sterilized. The Consorts, dead. As are the Underlings. Even though Eric and Serpent are on the other side of the shield, both of them feel the heat of the attack.
AU: MY... MY PLANET...
Serpent seems to be weakened even though Eric healed her. Eric looks at the ruined planet to see engie's drone, which has taken severe damage. It sparks violently, and seems to assess the damage taken before it flashsteps away. There is a brief respite in battle. Eric and Serpent rest.
~~~
The drone flashsteps to a neighboring hill. Something tunnels up from the ground: a mechroa virus strand. It is immediately cannibalized by the drone, which heals most of the damage it has taken. Machinery repairs itself. Weapons systems come online. It glows a dark grey, resembling a cross between a Grimdark and a Discorded pony. engie_ninja is contacted by someone.
??: QUESTION. WHAT IS A "DISCORDED PONY"? GA: What, you didn't watch the show? Season 2, Episode 1. Discord zaps the Mane 6 around the middle of the episode. They go all grey and opposite of their personalities... GA: It was fun to watch. ??: I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE OF WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. GA: I'm closing this bloody comm link.
engie, revived, flashsteps over to Serpent. He raises More Gun and attempts to smash The_Serpent with it, but Eric steps in his way. He leers up at the drone.
EM: Don't. Even. Try.
Eric makes no attempt to block the attack. Instead, he ducks, pulling Serpent along with him. She yelps as the shape of Tricky materializes out of nowhere, signpost in-hand. He tears the top four inches of the drone clean off. Circuitry sizzles. Eric activates a rocket blast, pushing him and Serpent out of the incoming fight.
EM: We need to get out of there. The two are going to annihilate each other. AU: ...
Tricky spins his signpost and brings it down on engie.
engie's drone gets hit from behind and is launched into the stratosphere of Serpent's planet. He doesn't seem to come back down. Tricky then glances behind himself, looking at the L()rd, who is cackling and enveloping himself in black energy.
With a snap of his fingers, the regenerated form of Diablo appears in the L()rd's hands. He grips it tightly, and a dark endergy flows from his hands and into the weapon. Diablo's blade turns blacker than night. The handle turns as bleached white as Endstone. Strange green markings appear on the blade, and it grows in size... He spins the blade around with a flourish.
(): D() Y()U LIKE IT? I THINK I'LL CALL IT NECR()N. (): LET'S SEE WHAT IT CAN D()! AU: NO! NOT MY PLANET...
The L()rd slices forwards. A massive black shockwave appears and collides with a mountain. It explodes, shrapnel raining down on several other hills. The mountain tumbles down in an avalanche, bringing several others with it. Earthquakes rumble over Serpent's planet.
(): ()H! AND I F()RG()T T() MENTI()N... (): SERPENT. I DIDN'T LIE AB()UT THE B()MB. EM: Bomb? What bomb?!
~~~
Days in the past, but not many...
Serpent rests at the top of her tower on her planet, much like she did at the start of this strife. She types away at her computer when she receives a message from someone...
apocalypticTerminator [AT] began pestering augmentedUnagi [AU].
AT: Serpent! This is an emergency! AU: MANIAC. WHAT IS IT? AT: I just realized something! When the L()rd visited you, he planted a bomb in Alternia! It's gonna destroy the planet in four turns! AT: You must gather the trolls of Alternia to... I don't do, a large rock or mountain. AT: Please! Do it for trollkind! AU: ALRIGHT. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. AU: ONE. I'M NOT EVEN. *ON.* ALTERNIA. I'M ON MY MEDIUM PLANET. LOSAD. AU: TWO. ALTERNIA WAS REDUCED TO DESERT. BY THE RECKONING. WEEKS AGO. AT: Oh, right... Then, it must have been LOSAD! He was very vague! AT: Look! If you want to live, you have to go to a landmark in four turns! AU: RELAX. I AM SITTING. ON THE TOP FLOOR. OF A HUGE TOWER. AS I HAVE BEEN DOING SO. THIS WHOLE TIME. I'LL BE FINE. AU: AND WHY ARE YOU SO EAGER. TO SAVE ONLY ME? AU: OR ARE YOU CONCERNED. ABOUT A FEW CONSORTS' WELFARE? AT: Uh, alright. Bring up a few consorts as well. AU: YOU STILL. HAVEN'T ANSWERED MY QUESTION. WHY DO YOU WANT. TO SAVE ME. IF I'M THE ONLY ONE HERE. EXCEPT FOR SOME CONSORTS? AT: Serpent, I'll come soon enough. Don't worry. AU: YOU STILL! IGNORE MY QUESTION!
Back in the present, there is a purple portal that appears in the sky. A figure flashes out of it and slowly descends towards the Battlefield, holding a bronze wand. It is TheLordErelye. He glares at the L()rd, as well as Eric.
AT: I had thought I would not to do this, as it would be a minor problem. AT: Oh, well. I suppose I was a fool, as per the usual. This is indeed a fairly big problem. AT: Now, I think I shall have to make this end as swiftly as I may, or at least attempt to do so.
Erelye flashsteps over to the L()rd, who seems to be preparing another blow with Necron. They both glare at each other.
(): THERE CAN ()NLY BE ()NE L()RD HERE! AT: As cliche as that sounds, I must agree.
Erelye fires a psionic fireball at the L()rd, which, as it strikes, combusts into a shockwave of mentally annihilating curses that spread across his thoughts like wildfire. However, before the blast even hits the L()rd, Erelye attacks him with an arcane and eldritch blade, hitting him with it square in the chest. Both attacks hit at once, knocking the L()rd backwards. Eric turns to Erelye.
EM: Thank you, Erelye. I'm going to ask you a question. Answer carefully. EM: Are you here to add to the destruction, or to end it? AT: I am here to end it as I may. EM: Alright then. Good enough.
Erelye hears the sound of something bouncing frantically towards him... It's Tricky. He runs towards Erelye, ready for another dive-bombing run. Eric hits Tricky before this can happen, sending him flying into a nearby hill.
AT: Much obliged, Eric. I'll take care of him from here.
The L()rd roars, eldritch energy trailing from him, and he swings Necron overhead, aiming for Eric. Eric quickly equips Broken Anachronism and parries the attack, but the L()rd keeps pushing with the blade... the two are locked in place.
EM: He's stronger than I thought. EM: I... should have... prepared better. (): HEHEH!
The two are equally matched, beams of power flaring from both sides. Eric grimaces and turns to The_Serpent.
EM: Serpent. ...A little help? AU: I THOUGHT. YOU'D NEVER ASK.
The_Serpent flies over to the L()rd, who cannot do anything or risk obliteration by Eric. Serpent raises an orchid scythe over her head and impales the L()rd with it. He falters. Eric quickly follows up on the attack with a blast of anachronistic energy from his sword. The L()rd is sent overhead, and then Eric whips out a rod from the Wheel of Time, infused with balefire. He fires the rod, but the L()rd quickly dodges the blast. He wrenches Serpent's scythe from his chest and throws it to the ground.
The_Serpent smiles as a Consort walks over to her, with a massive defused bomb in its hands.
AU: POOR MANIAC. HE HAD NO CLUE. AU: I KNEW. THAT HIS CHAT WITH ME. WOULD BE A TRAP. AU: SO I SENT A CONSORT OUT. TO RETRIEVE THE BOMB. AU: AND DEFUSE IT. EM: That was smart of you, Serpent. AU: THANK YOU. I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT IT WORKED. AU: UNFORTUNATELY. A WHOLE QUARTER OF. *MY.* PLANET. HAS BEEN TORN OFF. AU: I WILL NEED MORE REPAIR-BOTS.
The L()rd frowns and disappears.
~~~
Erelye, puzzled by this recent development, moves over to Tricky. He blasts him with a powerful curse channeled through his mastery of the grimdark majjyks. Tricky absorbs the blow, and then Erelye teleports about twenty feet away from him. Yet Erelye has barely any time to react when Tricky bounces over to him, bringing down his signpost absurdly fast. Erelye quickly slows down time enough to escape Tricky's signpost, and then places a rune of temporal lethargy over him, slowing his movements. Erelye looks up to see that the L()rd has flashed back into existence in the sky.
Eric and Serpent notice, too. Eric kneels down towards Serpent and pulls out a flower.
EM: This was damaged in the fight with Dimentio, but I've nursed it back to health somewhat.
Eric mutters a phrase under his breath.
EM: Flower gleam and glow let your power shine make the clock reverse bring back what once was mine.
After Eric finishes his little rhyme, Serpent finds that her wounds are healing. She looks up towards Eric, and then back at the L()rd. He seems to be descending onto the planet, fluctuating with black energy. Both players then hear a thud. On a neighboring hill, engie_ninja has flashstepped to the ground for safety after being blown sky-high in a previous attack. He turns to the sky and notices the L()rd as well. However, he then turns to look at Tricky, who is distracted by Erelye's antics.
engie quickly readies his armor and trudges towards Tricky.
GA: I HATE clowns. GA: Let's do this Texas style, you abomination.
He then flashsteps right next to Tricky and attacks him with a powerful hammer blow capable of destroying the ground without even touching it. Tricky, held in place thanks to Erelye's temporal runes, takes the hit. When the smoke clears, the place where he was standing is now a deep hole. Satisfied, engie turns to look at the L()rd again. He equips the Pomson 9000 and levels it at him.
GA: Alright, Lord. First, I think I'll disable your ability to use your weapon.
He prepares to fire, but before he can do so, the L()rd explodes in a conflagration of black fire, knocking everyone to the ground. His eyes exude radiance, glaring at every player. The clouds in Serpent's sky turn a dull red. Every player watches the spectacle, and Eric turns to engie, noticing his hatred of the L()rd...
EM: Engie, I think we have found a common enemy. EM: I say we declare a truce. I may not like what you do, or approve of your methods... EM: But you're better than Herobrine. GA: Don't even think about it. I stand by what I said: you all are arrogant pricks. You need to be taken down. GA: I'm not making any alliances here. Not yet.
Eric scowls and turns his attention back to the L()rd... The ground beneath him is being set aflame in black fire as he completes his descent, and apparently, his ascension. He speaks with a booming voice.
(): Y()U KN()W, I'VE BEEN T()YING WITH Y()U ALL THIS WH()LE TIME! AU: REALLY? THAT'S A STUPID EXCUSE. (): QUIET, SERPENT! IT'S TRUE... I MISJUDGED Y()UR P()WER... (): I TH()UGHT Y()U WERE ALL WEAK. (): BUT I HAVE BEEN PR()VEN WR()NG! (): N()W, IT'S N() M()RE MR. NICE L()RD!
~~~
All the players duck for cover as the L()rd raises Necron and smashes it through thin air, creating a massive black shockwave that pulses clean through the area. Serpent's computers in her tower suddenly shut off, as do Eric's comm links, and engie_ninja's machinery as well... His drone fizzles out. It appears to have been an EMP. He then twirls Necron over his head, and red lightning flashes across the sky. All the clouds across Serpent's planet seem to congregate directly above the L()rd, forming a massive storm.
Thunder and lightning tear the landscape asunder, scattering the players. Harsh winds buffet the area, disorienting everyone and throwing them into the nearby mountain ranges... Visibility is poor. The only refuge from the storm is in its eye, and only Serpent and the L()rd lie there. The L()rd extends a hand.
(): SERPENT, THIS WAS NEVER A TRAP. ERIC MADE IT ()NE. (): I HAD NEVER INTENDED T() HARM Y()U! UNLESS Y()U SAID N(), THAT IS. AU: OH. WELL, *THAT'S* COMFORTING. (): THE P()INT IS, ERIC ENDED UP D()ING M()RE HARM F()R Y()U THAN HELPING Y()U! (): ISN'T THAT C()NTRARY T() WHAT HE'S BEEN TELLING YOU? AU: I... (): I THINK WE CAN RULE THE W()RLD, SERPENT. MAYBE EVEN THE UNIVERSE! T()GETHER. (): WHAT D() Y()U THINK? AU: ... EM: No, Serpent! Don't listen to him!! (): THAT'S THE WIND.
~~~
Meanwhile, Eric is desperately flying towards the eye of the storm, fighting past the inclement weather. They are occupying, but he has broken past the mountain rage and is nearing their location.
EM: Don't! Serpent! Please!!
Tricky jumps out of the hole left by engie_ninja, but Erelye intercepts him. He condenses the weather's energy and that of Necron into a spike, which he uses to impale the clown. He then seems to whisper remarks to Serpent... It looks like he can see what is going on without being there, or at least sense it.
AT: Serpent, while I would rather you deny the offer he has just made you, it is your choice. AT: Choose. Please.
Tricky, however, merely looks down in irritation at the spike and pulls it out of his chest. There is no wound. He glances at the L()rd, Serpent, and Eric, flying towards them, and bounces off into the distance. He surpasses Eric and quickly bounds into the eye of the storm, slamming into the L()rd.
(): AAGH! FREAKIN' CL()WNS!!
He then pulls out his signpost and bashes the L()rd's head in... as well as Serpent's face. They both fall to the ground, Serpent slumped on the floor. Eric watches in horror, his eyes wide.
EM: *NO!*
Erelye jumps into the eye, having braved the weather, perhaps due to his grimdark powers. Serpent slowly rises from the ground, her glasses cracked. Cerulean blood drips from her face, and cerulean energy flows from her body, forming a pool at her feet. Some reaches Erelye, who jumps back. Eric enters the eye as well, and jumps over to Serpent, quickly putting a shield around her and him. Tricky notices and slams into the shield, trying to get to Erelye and Eric. The shield holds up, although Eric looks strained.
EM: Serpent, how are you holding up? AU: ...NNGH... C... COULD BE BETTER...
She coughs up blood. Eric adopts a pained expression. The L()rd stirs, and what seems to be white drops of blood drop onto the ground. He grimaces at Tricky, still whacking at the shields, and lunges at him.
(): H()W DARE Y()U!
He attempts to impale Tricky with Necron, but he bashes his chest with the signpost. The L()rd flies through the air, and then hovers, wiping blood off of his mouth. He descends again and swoops down on the shield, casting a spell.
(): TIME... ST()P!
The storm surrounding Serpent's planet turns a solid grey, as does everything in its radius. That is, except the L()rd. Tricky, attacking the shields, Eric, Serpent, and Erelye. The L()rd grins and moves towards Eric... who promptly punches the L()rd, sending him flying backwards. The spell breaks. A thud sounds from far away, breaking the static of the storm.
EM: Engie... Where is he?
~~~
Still caught in the mountains, engie has quickly recovered from the L()rd's EMP. He laughs and taunts at the L()rd, fairly unimpressed by his attack. However, he is still impeded by the storm, and struggles to see in his winds. He focuses on its eye, making out the previous events: the other combatants. Tricky. The signposts. Eric's cry of rage. He raises his hand, which pulses grey. The wind seems to...
GA: Disperse.
The winds are nullified, allowing engie to see.
GA: Damn son, they done got 360-noscope posted.
He jumps across the mountain ridge, traversing to the eye of the storm, resulting in the thud Eric heard.
~~~
Eric examines the situation. Staying here won't do him or Serpent any good. Her life is in serious danger, and he needs to contend with Tricky and engie, who is surely heading to the area right now. He sighs and turns to Tricky. He swings Broken Anachronism around and slams the flat of the blade in Tricky's face, blasting him off again. He disappears in the storm clouds. engie, however, seems to be getting closer.
EM: Alright, Lord. I think it's time we took our leave. EM: Sorry to do this without all of your consent. But we need to go. Now.
Eric pulls out a device from his coat and slams it into the ground. Eric, Serpent, and Erelye all flash in white light and disappear. The L()rd scowls and curses. Shocked by what happened, he doesn't notice as Tricky bounces back towards him, then grins and disappears from the field.
(): S(), IT'S JUST ME AND THE DEACTIVATED ENGIE DR()NE, HUH?
The L()rd then hears what Eric had heard: engie bounding across the storm.
(): ...DANGIT.
engie breaks through the clouds and lands with a thud near the L()rd.
GA: You didn't deactivate poop. GA: Honestly, I expected more of a fight. Not just from you. From everyone. GA: The only guy here I couldn't have just obliterated would have been that friggin' clown. GA: I. HATE. CLOWNS. (): I THINK THAT'S ()NE THING WE CAN B()TH AGREE ()N.
engie then stares at the last place Tricky was with a hilariously angry face, then starts to laugh.
GA: HAHAHAHAHAHAH! Oh, that was hilarious.
GA: I've saved that to memory, so I can watch that over and over again.
GA: Really though, you went after her to hire her as a general? (): SHE'S A G()()D CH()ICE. I NEEDED HER F()R MY PLANS! GA: You really need to pick better candidates. Otherwise it'll be like Mitt Romney all over again. Guy's like a cheesecake, he's so rich and white.
The drone flashsteps away from the Battlefield, leaving only a confused L()rd.
(): ...WELL THEN. (): THAT DID N()T G() ACC()RDING T() PLAN. (): AT ALL.
~~~
??: HOW DID IT GO? GA: Not admirably. But it's a nice feeling, the feeling of power. Especially ABSOLUTE power. You should try it some time. ??: NO THANK YOU. I AM AN ASSASSIN, NOT A BRAWLER. GA: Multiclassing is a thing.

But for the past couple of days...

Right.
I don't know what you have planned for that talk.

The word "sorry". Hardest word in the English language, barring scientific names. And not just for me in-game, too...
As a Canadian, I don't get it.
But seriously, that makes more sense than what I was thinking.
I'm not really sure what you're apologizing for...
But apology accepted.
Was it the sociopath thing?
If it was.
For further reference.
I am not offended easily.
You're not the first to imply that.
I usually don't bother to respond.
I guess I'm just a little not me right now.
And you're still copying my typing style.
At least you're doing it better.
Still.
We need to have that talk.
Contact me how you will.
But I might suggest something less public.

This isn't a fightpost, Twin, this is me reacting to my intention to join in the fight yesterday, then accidentally spending a day and a half learning to play Dwarf Fortress. Still can't figure out stairs.
My avatar flickers oddly, twitches, and, for a moment, is an ASCII @ symbol, then returns to normal, the Avatar Program reverting from AFK, thru Dwarf Fortress, to Minecraft...
Woops, sorry, I was checking on the Parasol Corp, what'd I miss?
My HUD explodes with surveillance data from the fight!
Oh... Well, I guess they didn't break any of MY stuff, but on the other hand, infighting's stupid, and I'm bored. I activate the Tesseract system in my armor, tell it to track Erelye, the one person involved I can trust not to immediately shoot me, and teleport to him!
...Due to an error in relative-velocity compensation, I come out of the fifth dimension thirty meters in the air, moving at nearly a hundred km/h, and plow into the ground at high velocity, making a trench...
Ow. Remember how the only way to kill me except via uberbossmajjyyks is kinetic force? Nowhere near enough there, but it still hurt.
And then my HUD informs me that the fight is over.
Dammit. Guess that was unnecessary. Need any help, Erelye? I throw him a disposable bodyshield generator.
Esoteric Tinkering 50/50! The Device is almost totally complete... H3h, my p4rt of the work is complex, huge, and based mostly around using that elf's contributions. Oh, there'5 som3 of our stuff in there, but that was all Amp, I just ran integration. ...Now to finish the weapon we're modifying.

On a less positive note, I see my Construct minions being cut down like crops... I deploy some more, telling them to preserve themselves as much as possible.
I'm not really sure what you're apologizing for...
But apology accepted.

You seemed offended.
But it's news to me that you feel somewhat off.
I can relate to that.
Sort of.

I should probably stop doing the text thing. Anyway, I'll consider a way to have that talk at some point. We could have this a little more private, if you're that uncomfortable with everyone else. I'll think of something, somehow. Hopefully.

I don't see how that would be news to you.
But whatever.
Well.
I would prefer it if everyone copied my typing style.
There's a reason I use it.
But.
You should probably stop.
It's not so much discomfort.
Than it is that this really doesn't concern them. Yeah.
You do that.
I can't tell if this "way of having this talk thing" is part of the act, but if not, use PMs.

That sounds horrible.
How could a board game ever replace a picnic?
Okay.
Engie.
First.
Thank you.
Second.
We really have to have a little talk about your "thing" for me.
I don't even know what to call it.
Also.
That's not how you type like me.
I replace all punctuation that involves pausing.
As well as sometimes when sentences get too long.
With line breaks.
Except semicolons.
Now.
Lastly.
I'm going to go on a bit of a tangent.
I DO have emotions!
I usually don't show them on the battlefield.
But they exist!
Are some of them a little impaired?
Perhaps.
But I'm NOT a sociopath!
But for the past couple of days...
I've been wishing I was.

As for Flare Flames's Antilog:
> Walk across path slowly.
What path? You are quite sure that there has never been a path anywhere near where you are currently standing. In your attempts to look for one, you accidentally step forward, landing on a path that materialized. How convenient. It seems to lead past the motion ball and to the new staircase. You walk on the path, eventually standing on the base of the staircase.
> Up staircase.
You proceed to walk up the new staircase. It goes right and then right again. Eventually, it levels out and forms a path. The path advances to the wall in front of you. There is an opening for you to get out of the chamber, but it is currently blocked by a white wall. You are not sure how to get rid of it and escape the container.
What will you do now?
> ...
Unfortunately, I will not be able to post today. Expect no posts on Sundays from now on. Please try to keep posts to a minimum, and do not do any more fightposts. However, I will try to work on the Fightlog. But before I do...
You guys NEED to calm down with the fightposts. There are 4 new pages today filled with them. I'm serious. It's going to be extremely hard for me to do fightposts if you guys keep posting like this.
engie_ninja, the L()rd, Eric, and The_Serpent have all assembled at a hill outside of Serpent's Tower on her land. They prepare for strife. Eric is the first one to talk; he slips his handgun inside his trench coat.
EM: Engie, I'm a multiversal being too. I've been living in various universes since I was seventeen.
EM: I spend more time in the Void than you do.
GA: That doesn't change the fact that you all are arrogant. Something's going to have to be done about you.
(): WHY D()N'T WE JUST FIGHT ALREADY?
EM: Hold on a second, Lord...
Eric notices a blurry shape speeding towards him, behind the players. He jumps out of the way of Tricky, who barrels into the field. Tricky turns to look at the L()rd, who backs away uneasily.

(): WELL, IT WAS W()RTH A SH()T.
Serpent shoots a bolt of Phazon at engie's drone, infecting him with its corruption. Although it fades shortly, a good deal of machinery is eaten away. engie starts to lunge at Serpent, but Tricky slams into both engie and the L()rd. Eric barely has time to put up a shield for him and Serpent before the impact.
EM: Incoming!
The collision blows away a quarter of Serpent's planet. It's gone. Erased. The remaining portions of the land are sterilized. The Consorts, dead. As are the Underlings. Even though Eric and Serpent are on the other side of the shield, both of them feel the heat of the attack.
AU: MY... MY PLANET...
Serpent seems to be weakened even though Eric healed her. Eric looks at the ruined planet to see engie's drone, which has taken severe damage. It sparks violently, and seems to assess the damage taken before it flashsteps away. There is a brief respite in battle. Eric and Serpent rest.
~~~
The drone flashsteps to a neighboring hill. Something tunnels up from the ground: a mechroa virus strand. It is immediately cannibalized by the drone, which heals most of the damage it has taken. Machinery repairs itself. Weapons systems come online. It glows a dark grey, resembling a cross between a Grimdark and a Discorded pony. engie_ninja is contacted by someone.
??: QUESTION. WHAT IS A "DISCORDED PONY"?
GA: What, you didn't watch the show? Season 2, Episode 1. Discord zaps the Mane 6 around the middle of the episode. They go all grey and opposite of their personalities...
GA: It was fun to watch.
??: I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE OF WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
GA: I'm closing this bloody comm link.
engie, revived, flashsteps over to Serpent. He raises More Gun and attempts to smash The_Serpent with it, but Eric steps in his way. He leers up at the drone.
EM: Don't. Even. Try.
Eric makes no attempt to block the attack. Instead, he ducks, pulling Serpent along with him. She yelps as the shape of Tricky materializes out of nowhere, signpost in-hand. He tears the top four inches of the drone clean off. Circuitry sizzles. Eric activates a rocket blast, pushing him and Serpent out of the incoming fight.
EM: We need to get out of there. The two are going to annihilate each other.
AU: ...
Tricky spins his signpost and brings it down on engie.

engie's drone gets hit from behind and is launched into the stratosphere of Serpent's planet. He doesn't seem to come back down. Tricky then glances behind himself, looking at the L()rd, who is cackling and enveloping himself in black energy.
(): Y()U WANT T() SEE P()WER, HUH?
(): WELL, I'LL SH()W Y()U P()WER!
(): ()BSERVE!
With a snap of his fingers, the regenerated form of Diablo appears in the L()rd's hands. He grips it tightly, and a dark endergy flows from his hands and into the weapon. Diablo's blade turns blacker than night. The handle turns as bleached white as Endstone. Strange green markings appear on the blade, and it grows in size... He spins the blade around with a flourish.
(): D() Y()U LIKE IT? I THINK I'LL CALL IT NECR()N.
(): LET'S SEE WHAT IT CAN D()!
AU: NO! NOT MY PLANET...
The L()rd slices forwards. A massive black shockwave appears and collides with a mountain. It explodes, shrapnel raining down on several other hills. The mountain tumbles down in an avalanche, bringing several others with it. Earthquakes rumble over Serpent's planet.
(): ()H! AND I F()RG()T T() MENTI()N...
(): SERPENT. I DIDN'T LIE AB()UT THE B()MB.
EM: Bomb? What bomb?!
~~~
Days in the past, but not many...
Serpent rests at the top of her tower on her planet, much like she did at the start of this strife. She types away at her computer when she receives a message from someone...
apocalypticTerminator [AT] began pestering augmentedUnagi [AU].
AT: Serpent! This is an emergency!
AU: MANIAC. WHAT IS IT?
AT: I just realized something! When the L()rd visited you, he planted a bomb in Alternia! It's gonna destroy the planet in four turns!
AT: You must gather the trolls of Alternia to... I don't do, a large rock or mountain.
AT: Please! Do it for trollkind!
AU: ALRIGHT. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.
AU: ONE. I'M NOT EVEN. *ON.* ALTERNIA. I'M ON MY MEDIUM PLANET. LOSAD.
AU: TWO. ALTERNIA WAS REDUCED TO DESERT. BY THE RECKONING. WEEKS AGO.
AT: Oh, right... Then, it must have been LOSAD! He was very vague!
AT: Look! If you want to live, you have to go to a landmark in four turns!
AU: RELAX. I AM SITTING. ON THE TOP FLOOR. OF A HUGE TOWER. AS I HAVE BEEN DOING SO. THIS WHOLE TIME. I'LL BE FINE.
AU: AND WHY ARE YOU SO EAGER. TO SAVE ONLY ME?
AU: OR ARE YOU CONCERNED. ABOUT A FEW CONSORTS' WELFARE?
AT: Uh, alright. Bring up a few consorts as well.
AU: YOU STILL. HAVEN'T ANSWERED MY QUESTION. WHY DO YOU WANT. TO SAVE ME. IF I'M THE ONLY ONE HERE. EXCEPT FOR SOME CONSORTS?
AT: Serpent, I'll come soon enough. Don't worry.
AU: YOU STILL! IGNORE MY QUESTION!
apocalypticTerminator [AT] ceased pestering augmentedUnagi [AU].
AU: ARGH!
~~~
Back in the present, there is a purple portal that appears in the sky. A figure flashes out of it and slowly descends towards the Battlefield, holding a bronze wand. It is TheLordErelye. He glares at the L()rd, as well as Eric.
AT: I had thought I would not to do this, as it would be a minor problem.
AT: Oh, well. I suppose I was a fool, as per the usual. This is indeed a fairly big problem.
AT: Now, I think I shall have to make this end as swiftly as I may, or at least attempt to do so.
Erelye flashsteps over to the L()rd, who seems to be preparing another blow with Necron. They both glare at each other.
(): THERE CAN ()NLY BE ()NE L()RD HERE!
AT: As cliche as that sounds, I must agree.
Erelye fires a psionic fireball at the L()rd, which, as it strikes, combusts into a shockwave of mentally annihilating curses that spread across his thoughts like wildfire. However, before the blast even hits the L()rd, Erelye attacks him with an arcane and eldritch blade, hitting him with it square in the chest. Both attacks hit at once, knocking the L()rd backwards. Eric turns to Erelye.
EM: Thank you, Erelye. I'm going to ask you a question. Answer carefully.
EM: Are you here to add to the destruction, or to end it?
AT: I am here to end it as I may.
EM: Alright then. Good enough.
Erelye hears the sound of something bouncing frantically towards him... It's Tricky. He runs towards Erelye, ready for another dive-bombing run. Eric hits Tricky before this can happen, sending him flying into a nearby hill.
AT: Much obliged, Eric. I'll take care of him from here.
The L()rd roars, eldritch energy trailing from him, and he swings Necron overhead, aiming for Eric. Eric quickly equips Broken Anachronism and parries the attack, but the L()rd keeps pushing with the blade... the two are locked in place.
EM: He's stronger than I thought.
EM: I... should have... prepared better.
(): HEHEH!
The two are equally matched, beams of power flaring from both sides. Eric grimaces and turns to The_Serpent.
EM: Serpent. ...A little help?
AU: I THOUGHT. YOU'D NEVER ASK.
The_Serpent flies over to the L()rd, who cannot do anything or risk obliteration by Eric. Serpent raises an orchid scythe over her head and impales the L()rd with it. He falters. Eric quickly follows up on the attack with a blast of anachronistic energy from his sword. The L()rd is sent overhead, and then Eric whips out a rod from the Wheel of Time, infused with balefire. He fires the rod, but the L()rd quickly dodges the blast. He wrenches Serpent's scythe from his chest and throws it to the ground.
The_Serpent smiles as a Consort walks over to her, with a massive defused bomb in its hands.
AU: POOR MANIAC. HE HAD NO CLUE.
AU: I KNEW. THAT HIS CHAT WITH ME. WOULD BE A TRAP.
AU: SO I SENT A CONSORT OUT. TO RETRIEVE THE BOMB.
AU: AND DEFUSE IT.
EM: That was smart of you, Serpent.
AU: THANK YOU. I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT IT WORKED.
AU: UNFORTUNATELY. A WHOLE QUARTER OF. *MY.* PLANET. HAS BEEN TORN OFF.
AU: I WILL NEED MORE REPAIR-BOTS.
The L()rd frowns and disappears.
~~~
Erelye, puzzled by this recent development, moves over to Tricky. He blasts him with a powerful curse channeled through his mastery of the grimdark majjyks. Tricky absorbs the blow, and then Erelye teleports about twenty feet away from him. Yet Erelye has barely any time to react when Tricky bounces over to him, bringing down his signpost absurdly fast. Erelye quickly slows down time enough to escape Tricky's signpost, and then places a rune of temporal lethargy over him, slowing his movements. Erelye looks up to see that the L()rd has flashed back into existence in the sky.
Eric and Serpent notice, too. Eric kneels down towards Serpent and pulls out a flower.
EM: This was damaged in the fight with Dimentio, but I've nursed it back to health somewhat.
Eric mutters a phrase under his breath.
EM: Flower gleam and glow let your power shine make the clock reverse bring back what once was mine.
After Eric finishes his little rhyme, Serpent finds that her wounds are healing. She looks up towards Eric, and then back at the L()rd. He seems to be descending onto the planet, fluctuating with black energy. Both players then hear a thud. On a neighboring hill, engie_ninja has flashstepped to the ground for safety after being blown sky-high in a previous attack. He turns to the sky and notices the L()rd as well. However, he then turns to look at Tricky, who is distracted by Erelye's antics.
engie quickly readies his armor and trudges towards Tricky.
GA: I HATE clowns.
GA: Let's do this Texas style, you abomination.
He then flashsteps right next to Tricky and attacks him with a powerful hammer blow capable of destroying the ground without even touching it. Tricky, held in place thanks to Erelye's temporal runes, takes the hit. When the smoke clears, the place where he was standing is now a deep hole. Satisfied, engie turns to look at the L()rd again. He equips the Pomson 9000 and levels it at him.
GA: Alright, Lord. First, I think I'll disable your ability to use your weapon.
He prepares to fire, but before he can do so, the L()rd explodes in a conflagration of black fire, knocking everyone to the ground. His eyes exude radiance, glaring at every player. The clouds in Serpent's sky turn a dull red. Every player watches the spectacle, and Eric turns to engie, noticing his hatred of the L()rd...
EM: Engie, I think we have found a common enemy.
EM: I say we declare a truce. I may not like what you do, or approve of your methods...
EM: But you're better than Herobrine.
GA: Don't even think about it. I stand by what I said: you all are arrogant pricks. You need to be taken down.
GA: I'm not making any alliances here. Not yet.
Eric scowls and turns his attention back to the L()rd... The ground beneath him is being set aflame in black fire as he completes his descent, and apparently, his ascension. He speaks with a booming voice.
(): Y()U KN()W, I'VE BEEN T()YING WITH Y()U ALL THIS WH()LE TIME!
AU: REALLY? THAT'S A STUPID EXCUSE.
(): QUIET, SERPENT! IT'S TRUE... I MISJUDGED Y()UR P()WER...
(): I TH()UGHT Y()U WERE ALL WEAK.
(): BUT I HAVE BEEN PR()VEN WR()NG!
(): N()W, IT'S N() M()RE MR. NICE L()RD!
~~~
All the players duck for cover as the L()rd raises Necron and smashes it through thin air, creating a massive black shockwave that pulses clean through the area. Serpent's computers in her tower suddenly shut off, as do Eric's comm links, and engie_ninja's machinery as well... His drone fizzles out. It appears to have been an EMP. He then twirls Necron over his head, and red lightning flashes across the sky. All the clouds across Serpent's planet seem to congregate directly above the L()rd, forming a massive storm.
Thunder and lightning tear the landscape asunder, scattering the players. Harsh winds buffet the area, disorienting everyone and throwing them into the nearby mountain ranges... Visibility is poor. The only refuge from the storm is in its eye, and only Serpent and the L()rd lie there. The L()rd extends a hand.
(): SERPENT, THIS WAS NEVER A TRAP. ERIC MADE IT ()NE.
(): I HAD NEVER INTENDED T() HARM Y()U! UNLESS Y()U SAID N(), THAT IS.
AU: OH. WELL, *THAT'S* COMFORTING.
(): THE P()INT IS, ERIC ENDED UP D()ING M()RE HARM F()R Y()U THAN HELPING Y()U!
(): ISN'T THAT C()NTRARY T() WHAT HE'S BEEN TELLING YOU?
AU: I...
(): I THINK WE CAN RULE THE W()RLD, SERPENT. MAYBE EVEN THE UNIVERSE! T()GETHER.
(): WHAT D() Y()U THINK?
AU: ...
EM: No, Serpent! Don't listen to him!!
(): THAT'S THE WIND.
~~~
Meanwhile, Eric is desperately flying towards the eye of the storm, fighting past the inclement weather. They are occupying, but he has broken past the mountain rage and is nearing their location.
EM: Don't! Serpent! Please!!
Tricky jumps out of the hole left by engie_ninja, but Erelye intercepts him. He condenses the weather's energy and that of Necron into a spike, which he uses to impale the clown. He then seems to whisper remarks to Serpent... It looks like he can see what is going on without being there, or at least sense it.
AT: Serpent, while I would rather you deny the offer he has just made you, it is your choice.
AT: Choose. Please.
Tricky, however, merely looks down in irritation at the spike and pulls it out of his chest. There is no wound. He glances at the L()rd, Serpent, and Eric, flying towards them, and bounces off into the distance. He surpasses Eric and quickly bounds into the eye of the storm, slamming into the L()rd.
(): AAGH! FREAKIN' CL()WNS!!
He then pulls out his signpost and bashes the L()rd's head in... as well as Serpent's face. They both fall to the ground, Serpent slumped on the floor. Eric watches in horror, his eyes wide.
EM: *NO!*
Erelye jumps into the eye, having braved the weather, perhaps due to his grimdark powers. Serpent slowly rises from the ground, her glasses cracked. Cerulean blood drips from her face, and cerulean energy flows from her body, forming a pool at her feet. Some reaches Erelye, who jumps back. Eric enters the eye as well, and jumps over to Serpent, quickly putting a shield around her and him. Tricky notices and slams into the shield, trying to get to Erelye and Eric. The shield holds up, although Eric looks strained.
EM: Serpent, how are you holding up?
AU: ...NNGH... C... COULD BE BETTER...
She coughs up blood. Eric adopts a pained expression. The L()rd stirs, and what seems to be white drops of blood drop onto the ground. He grimaces at Tricky, still whacking at the shields, and lunges at him.
(): H()W DARE Y()U!
He attempts to impale Tricky with Necron, but he bashes his chest with the signpost. The L()rd flies through the air, and then hovers, wiping blood off of his mouth. He descends again and swoops down on the shield, casting a spell.
(): TIME... ST()P!
The storm surrounding Serpent's planet turns a solid grey, as does everything in its radius. That is, except the L()rd. Tricky, attacking the shields, Eric, Serpent, and Erelye. The L()rd grins and moves towards Eric... who promptly punches the L()rd, sending him flying backwards. The spell breaks. A thud sounds from far away, breaking the static of the storm.
EM: Engie... Where is he?
~~~
Still caught in the mountains, engie has quickly recovered from the L()rd's EMP. He laughs and taunts at the L()rd, fairly unimpressed by his attack. However, he is still impeded by the storm, and struggles to see in his winds. He focuses on its eye, making out the previous events: the other combatants. Tricky. The signposts. Eric's cry of rage. He raises his hand, which pulses grey. The wind seems to...
GA: Disperse.
The winds are nullified, allowing engie to see.
GA: Damn son, they done got 360-noscope posted.
He jumps across the mountain ridge, traversing to the eye of the storm, resulting in the thud Eric heard.
~~~
Eric examines the situation. Staying here won't do him or Serpent any good. Her life is in serious danger, and he needs to contend with Tricky and engie, who is surely heading to the area right now. He sighs and turns to Tricky. He swings Broken Anachronism around and slams the flat of the blade in Tricky's face, blasting him off again. He disappears in the storm clouds. engie, however, seems to be getting closer.
EM: Alright, Lord. I think it's time we took our leave.
EM: Sorry to do this without all of your consent. But we need to go. Now.
Eric pulls out a device from his coat and slams it into the ground. Eric, Serpent, and Erelye all flash in white light and disappear. The L()rd scowls and curses. Shocked by what happened, he doesn't notice as Tricky bounces back towards him, then grins and disappears from the field.
(): S(), IT'S JUST ME AND THE DEACTIVATED ENGIE DR()NE, HUH?
The L()rd then hears what Eric had heard: engie bounding across the storm.
(): ...DANGIT.
engie breaks through the clouds and lands with a thud near the L()rd.
GA: You didn't deactivate poop.
GA: Honestly, I expected more of a fight. Not just from you. From everyone.
GA: The only guy here I couldn't have just obliterated would have been that friggin' clown.
GA: I. HATE. CLOWNS.
(): I THINK THAT'S ()NE THING WE CAN B()TH AGREE ()N.
engie then stares at the last place Tricky was with a hilariously angry face, then starts to laugh.
GA: HAHAHAHAHAHAH! Oh, that was hilarious.
GA: I've saved that to memory, so I can watch that over and over again.
GA: Really though, you went after her to hire her as a general?
(): SHE'S A G()()D CH()ICE. I NEEDED HER F()R MY PLANS!
GA: You really need to pick better candidates. Otherwise it'll be like Mitt Romney all over again. Guy's like a cheesecake, he's so rich and white.
The drone flashsteps away from the Battlefield, leaving only a confused L()rd.
(): ...WELL THEN.
(): THAT DID N()T G() ACC()RDING T() PLAN.
(): AT ALL.
~~~
??: HOW DID IT GO?
GA: Not admirably. But it's a nice feeling, the feeling of power. Especially ABSOLUTE power. You should try it some time.
??: NO THANK YOU. I AM AN ASSASSIN, NOT A BRAWLER.
GA: Multiclassing is a thing.

And then my HUD informs me that the fight is over.
