Without even turning to face him, Jack summoned his cane and quickly shoved it into Mickey's chest to stop him. By this point, he was bloodied practically from head to toe, even more so than Evan's body had been when Jack had first encountered him.
"Hardly is there a challenge to which I say no.
If you're so insistent, I'll give it a go."
He flung Mickey aside, put away his cane and instead summoned one of Todd's violas, posing as if ready to play.
"If you take the lead, I'll take the chance.
If you wish to kill me, then come; let us dance."

Beth smirked. "Thank you for not throwing the rabid vampire at me," she offered before looking at the bloodied floor. 'This might just work~' she mused seeing lots of the red liquid pooling.
The siren looked back to her opponent with the blade at the ready. She gave a smirk before taking her turn at the musical end of things.
High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
She whirled before jabbing at Jack with her blade.
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
Her song seemed to read more for her male twin than for Jack.
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Mickey was thrown off guard and infuriated by Jack's block, the cane driving into Mickey's chest almost like a stake. After being tossed aside and tumbling across the bloody floor for a bit, he sat up and, surprisingly, found the will to resist lunging at Jack again. He already had a plan, and lashing out blindly wouldn't help. He needed Cat.
He looked around at the blood, silently questioning his recent actions. Regretting, no, but definitely questioning them.

Jack leaped aside, nimbly dodging Beth's stabs and swipes whilst playing her song on the viola. All the while, droplets of the blood he danced through rose up around him, condensing and crystalizing into blades.
Ray jumped up onto a bench, quickly observing the scene. Then he raised his hands, red lights engulfing them and the monsters that Mickey had so easily offed. He gritted his teeth and smiled with demented glee.

Beth watched as she sung. A small smile formed on her face as the dead started to rise.
Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
A bit of the blood crystallized underfoot as she sung. She seemed ready to defend if she had to, just to buy time for Ray. She wasn't about to go back on her word.
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Mickey looked around, wondering where the heck Cat was. Her aura of Pandemonium energy seemed bizarrely muted, making sensing it over all the other scents and energies in the room particularly difficult. But hey, with all the shenanigans going on out here, she was bound to turn up eventually.
For now, Mickey flew high above Jack and Beth, eyes trained on the crystallized blood. Maybe there was still something he could do in the meantime...

While Jack continued to swerve about, forming a multitude of blood crystals along the way, he looked up to see Mickey hovering over them, then around as Ray's horde of undead monsters surrounded them. Seemed he was outmatched, a fact that he took with an excited smile. Almost inaudibly, he whispered...
"Why indeed... Show me a scud.
Fraymotif: In My Blood."
Jack swept his bow back in a wide arc, causing the blood knives shoot out in all directions, aimed to hit the monsters, Beth and Mickey.
A few of the monsters were pierced dead-on, but considering they were already dead, this did very little. From his safe spot, Ray growled and silently ordered those closest to swarm Jack. The demon's smirk never faded as he subsequently vanished beneath the dog pile of zombified beasts.

Beth attempted to block the blades but several created cuts and one had dug it's way into her left shoulder. The high C# the girl produced out of pain cut her off of the song. The fire burned brighter in her eyes as her other arm seemed to crystallize like the first. Hedrons of the bloody crystal broke away from the floor, some had pieces of the mall.
"THANK YOU RAY!" she called over her shoulder before hopping onto a hedron as it broke loose.

Mickey swiftly dodged the incoming blood knives, coming out perfectly unscathed. He then flew up to the ceiling where the crystals had lodged, plucking one free with each paw. He smelled a mixture of different monsters' blood in each, a fact that pleased him greatly as he chomped down on one with impeccably strong jaws.
Suffice to say, he was enjoying himself. A lot. And it could only go uphill from here.

Ray smiled at his good work, only to take it back when Jack predictably flew out of the commotion, harmlessly passing through the monsters, drifting over them and gracefully touching back down. Jack had to laugh at the insane goings-on that had just occurred.
"Pfft... HA HA HA HA... Whew! That was fun!
And you're all looking well. Shall we try another one?"
With a low growl, Ray lifted his hand again, his zombie army fooling suit and getting back into formation. "Oh, with pleasure, a*****e."
Necromancy symbols appeared on the foreheads of his monsters; red auras surrounded each of them.

Beth smirked from her perch on the hedron as a jagged shard flaked off of her. "Hey! Ray! Catch!" she called tossing said crystal to the necromancer. 'That should boost any magic he has,' she thought.

After consuming the blood knives faster than logically possible, Mickey surveyed the fight again. He would've intervened again, but he was waiting for the right opportunity. And by "right opportunity," I of course mean Cat.

All at once, Beth threw the shard, the monsters swarmed around Jack again, and Ray prepared to simultaneously catch the shard and give them the signal to attack. But it all went south when Jack jumped high enough to catch the shard himself. As soon as he had it, he flung himself at Beth and hoisted her up by the collar.
"If you would allow me one bit of advice,
Either don't shout your plan or just be more precise."
"S***..." Ray growled, two seconds away from giving the order to attack anyway.
Ray, wait! Patrick finally spoke up. If they touch her with the Symbol of Pain too...!
Fortunately, he'd never get the chance...

Beth eeped as she was caught by the collar. "TAKE THE BLOODY SHOT!!!" she yelled between choked gasps.

CRASH
Mickey whirled around as the wall that separated the electronics store from the rest of the mall came tumbling down. He smirked, knowing full well what was coming.
From out of the dust and rubble came a large, armored, robotic drone, somehow constructed from the spare parts and various devices the store had to offer. Nestled safely inside the metal suit was Cat, with only her twisted scowl of a face visible from behind a glass plate. The sea of monsters parted as she stomped onto the scene, gears whirring and oversized metal treads clanging against the tiled floor, and finally she took a tall, firm stance before Jack, the suit's arms raised and pulsating with the Pandemonium energy that Cat continued to channel.
Her voice projected from the exoskeleton's built-in speaker system, declaring exactly what everyone would've expected:
"Get away from her you WITCH! DEMON! GUY! THING!!"
