Erin and Lizzie's eyes were wide in shock at the sudden shift in tone... "F-FIGHT?? ME??" Lizzie stumbled back as she attempted to hover backwards.
Erin however, was now iron focused. Seeing the scarf the man was wearing... Well... THAT was NEW... Would 3 god-tiers and a demon be enough for the job?? Her eyes scanned the room... There was a blast of voidal aura, catching her off guard before she turned to Alex...
OR RATHER WHAT WAS LEFT OF HIM... On the ground, he could get a perfect view of what was going on, and what had just happened..... But the frozen statue had TURNED PURE JET BLACK.... AND IT LOOKED LIKE THE BODY WAS DESPERATELY TRYING TO BREAK FREE. IT COULDN'T MOVE BUT DAMNED IF SHE DIDN'T SEE THE MUSCLES STRAINING TO TRY. Wait...
A GRIMDARK COULD DO THE TRICK... BUT... The key!!!
"LIZZIE!! Find that key and get it to Evan!!" Lizzie jumped at the order as Erin pulled out her weapon. "It's all hands on deck and we NEED Alex! Hurry!!!" Lizzie was quick to nod and fly off to look around the room... Erin meanwhile?
She pulled out two of her rackets.
Growling dangerously, she noted Swift and Evan in the way. Swift was one thing, but Evan-??
JUST SECONDS SHORT OF EVAN GETTING SKEWERED, he was yanked into a void portal, the bloody sword missing by a hair's width of Evan's foot as he was yanked back. Erin pulled Evan the rest of the way out... SHINK!!!! And Erin's eyes widened, when the monster turned out to be smart enough to follow through with the thrust, sending the sword through the portal after Evan. However, when she closed the portals, the monster was forced to pull his weapon back before it was lost in the void. "EVAN GET BACK!!!" Swift now had the monster preoccupied... But. "SWIFT BACKSTEP!!!" She reeled her two weapons around before facing the bottom ends at the monster. "SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE!!!!"
--------------
The two bazooka rounds of void energy let out such a kaboom that it echoed all the way down Bonsai Mountain.
--------------
Erin took no chances as she kept her eyes open. If this thing had scarves knitted from God-tier robes-
AND SURE ENOUGH THE CREATURE HAD SURVIVED AND CLASHED WITH HER WEAPONS. "I dunno where you got those~... But you ain't gettin' MINE that easy!!" The God-tier and the... WHATEVER, clashed fiercely Erin skillfully fending off sword swipes with skillful movements of both rackets. CLANG!! CLANG-CLANG!! CLANG CLA-BAM!!!!! Erin was kicked-
Then the being was TACKLED FULL-LONG by Swift, saving Erin from getting stabbed by the follow up attack. Erin was quick to recover and smack the man in the face with her racket, now effectively double teaming him with Swift.

To say that Evan was scared and confused was the understatement of the millennia.
He barely had time to react before the man in the scarf lunged at him with blinding speed, as if the very fabric of time was on this menace's side. Just as suddenly, Evan found himself being yanked into the void and reemerging next to Erin. He just barely dodged the blade that followed him through, which the man retracted as Erin closed the portals.
Evan could only nod in gratitude, too stymied to muster a more appropriate reaction. He looked up in time to see his dog leap at the scarfed man, only to get knocked in Swift's way and take the full, deadly force of her claw attack.
"CARTER!!!"
Oh dear God, how had things spiraled out of control this quickly?! Who was this new foe?! Why did he have to attack now of all times?! Anxiously looking between Kendall's body, Carter's body, and the man's efforts to both fend off and strike down his berserker girlfriend, Evan hastily decided that his only option was to retrieve the Paramount Key.
The massive force of Erin's fraymotif shook the mountain, then all went still. In the ensuing silence, Evan took the opportunity to circle the room, hugging the wall, scanning the floor for his key.
When the dust settled, the creature flew Evan's way, keyblade reeled back and ready to strike. He found his path blocked by Erin, his blade clashing with her rackets. He kept swinging at her in his attempts to get past her and closer to Evan, until eventually he slammed his foot into her stomach, giving him leeway to keep flying. He only made it so far before he was tackled by an ever-enraged Swift, her claws digging deep into his shoulder, and subsequently received a smack from Erin's racket.
Okay... No͞ more͘ p͠l͞ay̡in͜g̕ ͟a̛round҉.
The man thrust his arms out, unleashing upon his attackers a powerful and blinding force like the explosion of a dying star.
Champagne Supernova.
He then wiped the blood off his shoulder, condensed it into crystalline needles and flung them at everyone within his range.
Sacrifice.
Finally, with everyone else distracted, the man opened a portal and flung his keyblade inside it. Immediately, a series of similar portals opened up and surrounded Evan. The keyblade flew out of one portal and into another, which Evan managed to avoid. It flew out of another one, striking him across the back. It flew out again, hitting his leg.
Shatterpoint.

The fact that she had accidentally killed Carter in her rage never even occurred to the psychotic yokai. As soon as she landed, Swift turned and sprung at the beast, growling and screeching like a deranged animal. She slashed at him, bounded every which way to cut him off, even blocked his sword with her bare hands. Any ounce of pain never registered in her mind. All that mattered was to KILL THIS MONSTER.
She had just grabbed his blade and made an effort to slash his throat when Erin's void attack –the warning for which Swift had also ignored in her blind fury– knocked the two of them off their feet.
As she scrambled back up, Swift looked down at Alex's still, darkening form and snarled, as if to say "You're next." Then she charged at the man in the scarf again while his back was turned, took a mighty leap, and landed on top of him. She drove her claws deep into his shoulder, the warm blood oozing between her fingers a gratifying sensation. The momentum transferred to the both of them by Erin's strike gave Swift room to grab his scarf swing away, hoping to strangle him with his own gaudy accessory.
But then she was thrown back, the light and noise an agonizing assault on her eyes and ears. Swift screamed in pain, the sensory overload a worse torture than her wounds from the blood shards or even the impact with the wall and subsequent tumble to the floor.
Like last time, she was quick to get back up, the pain only serving to make her angrier. She saw the keyblade fly at Evan through a series of portals, and immediately, the single, solitary remnant of her human mindset took over, ordering the raging yokai to save her boyfriend.
"HHRRAAAAAAAAGGHH!!" Swift charged into the fray, shoving Evan out of the network of portals and taking a few hits herself. Along the way, she managed to snatch the key-shaped sword, and once she was back on her feet, she charged at the beast once more with his own weapon at her command.

Forsaken jumped off he cube and let a stray piece of rubble cut her as she ran ove to Evan. "TOURNAQUET!" She yelled as a thick dome of crystal formed over her and Evan.
Todd floated up and nodded to Yang as a few of the needles embedded themselves into his arms. "In My Blood!" The Warlock called out as blood droplets soon swarmed around him to form a barrage of blades.

FLAAAASH!!!! "AAAAAGH-!!!!!!!" Erin was quick to jump back at the bright flash and toss up a void shield in front of her to further protect her retinas. When she felt several hard thuds against the barrier, she realized that this beast was taking advantage of her momentary blindness. Growling dangerously, the girl pulled a pair of sunglasses from her void modus (Similarly to Alex before her) and put them on to protect against further bright flashes to some degree. When the light died away... It was mass chaos.  ?? She was... Dumbfounded... This beast was... IT WAS USING THE ARMAMENT ALMAGEST. But... THAT WAS HER MOVE. ONLY THE THIEF COULD LEARN IT... tHAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-!!!!!" The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. "HEY!!! QUIT BITING MY STYLE!!!" She formed her energy up once more. "BEYOND THE VEIL!!!!"The room suddenly got that much more crowded as unholy tentacles appeared from void portals, trying to smash the new offender... Erin even noted that they seemed... Even more energetic and even more vicious then ever before... Still on the ground meanwhile, Alex was unleashing a primal scream within his head, THE MONSTERS TAKING CONTROL OF HIM CURSING THE FACT THAT THEY COULDN'T GET ANY CLOSER... THEN... THEY REMEMBERED. "̸͈H͕͈̳͍̩̙I̶̟͝M̵̬̮̥̤̘͠ͅ!̜͟!̸̴̼̤̙!̢͏̥͇͖!̴̙̯͈͔̱͓"̶̢̳͕̫̪̠̣͇Evan saw the key at last, on the ground before him. He rushed to retrieve it- "LOOK OUT!!!!!"THEN HAD TO BE GLOMPED ASIDE BY LIZZIE AS A TENTACLE THRASHED DOWN AND TRIED TO FLATTEN EVAN LIKE A BUG. FROM THE PORTALS UNHOLY SCREECHES AND SINGING COULD BE HEARD AS THE MASSIVE APPENDAGES SPLIT ATTENTION BETWEEN HURTING THIS NEW GUY AND EVAN HIMSELF. "O-OH SHIT-!!!!! DISPERSE!!! DISPERSE!!!!!" Needless to say, Erin was quick to dispel what portals she could, straining as the Horror-terrors fought for control over the portals, screeching and singing like the unholy abominations they were. |

Needless to say, Evan had to take a breather. One moment, he was being attacked from all sides by the same weapon. Next he was being shoved out of the way by Swift, earnestly if particularly forcefully. Then he was sealed within a blood crystal dome with Forsaken, which, if anything, gave him the time he needed to regain his composure. "Th-Thanks... But... I need my key!"
His request would come at a price. Outside the barrier, the man in the scarf turned to see Swift charging at him with his keyblade. Though his expression was masked beneath his scarf and goggles, he hardly looked deterred by her advance.
The image suddenly shifted dramatically as, within the timeframe of a nanosecond, the man was suddenly behind Swift with the keyblade back in his own hand, promptly slamming the bow across the back of her head.
He then hurled himself at Forsaken's dome, driving the blade clean through it. Though he missed both targets inside, the wall of crystal was effectively shattered. Evan wasted no time leaping aside and rolling across the floor just as Erin opened a series of portals all over the room. Hopefully she and Forsaken would be able to distract the assailant long enough for him to find...
THE PARAMOUNT KEY!
Finally, Evan spotted his key on the floor just a few feet away, immediately raising an arm to summon it into his hand. The key responded to its master's call, flying towards him like metal to a magnet...
...only to whizz right past him when Lizzie tackled him aside, just barely avoiding the tentacle that came smashing down where he once knelt.
"WHAT THE BALLS?!!"
It was painfully obvious now that Evan was just NOT GOING TO CATCH A BREAK TODAY. As soon as he and Lizzie landed, the two were forced to separate and tumble in opposite directions when another tentacle lashed out at them. He sprung to his feet and leaped out of the way of another, ducking under yet another, diving over the quest bed and away from another's grasp. Likewise, the scarfed man was flying in circles as he simultaneously dueled with the various fighters and tentacles surrounding him, but while he managed to repel them with tact and ease, Evan was scrambling about haphazardly as he searched for the key AGAIN, his face frozen in sheer panic.
Which was just as well, because as soon as another tentacle shot his way...
"GET DUNKED OOOOOOOOOON!!!"
Katana met tentacle, slicing the grotesque appendage in two. Brendonsprite swooped past Evan, shooting him a sly smirk, to which the keymaster responded with an utterly dumbfounded expression.

With continued bestial aggression, Swift swung the keyblade at her opponent. Before a connection could be made, both he and the sword were gone in the blink of an eye. Swift hadn't even registered this by the time the weapon's hilt smashed her in the back of the head, knocking her to the floor with a furious, pained yelp.
As she stood back up, she granted herself a moment to massage the pain away, during which Erin unleashed a horde of eldritch monster tentacles that quickly began a horrific dance of destruction. Seeing this, Swift's initial reaction was shock. The grotesque appendages terrified her. That fear fueled her survival instinct, which in turn further fueled her anger. So much was going on around her. All this adrenaline, all this fury... It just felt like everything was out to get her!
And Evan...
Swift screeched and sliced her way through the tentacles, setting her sights on the scarf-wearing monster that clearly posed the biggest threat. With rapid slashes, powerful kicks and vicious bites, she tore into him alongside Erin, Forsaken and Todd, all the while digging her lupine weapons into any tentacle that dared to drift too close.
She had just about enough of this!
All of these insolent pests had gotten Evan and Swift into this mess!
As soon as she was done with this douchebag...
SHE WAS SINKING HER CLAWS INTO EVERY LAST ONE OF THESE FREAKS!

Forsaken took a blow to her shoulder from the scarf wearing freak's shield shattering attack. "Welcome!" She called over the injured shoulder before sending needles at the scarf wearer as she noticed a gold blur slicing a tentacle. "Good one! Now for my move! SACRIFICE! UNDER THE RADAR! " the witch yelled as crystal blades seemed to sail over head from her counterpart. Needles of her own flew for the scarfed one as the binds between she and her group seemed to strengthen slightly.
Yang was still attempting to find an opening as to not harm those on her side. And she was not too pleased to see the tentacles once more.

Erin had managed to disperse a number of the portals forcing a number of the tentacles away. When that's done, she has to catch her breath. "Wh-what the hell happened-? They've never done that before-!!!!" .... Her eyes widened when she turned to Alex, still incapable of moving, but his aura growing more and more furious with each passing second. "UUUUUH EVAN!?!?!? I KNOW YOU'RE DOING YOUR BEST AND ALL?? BUT I IMAGINE THE LONGER YOU MAKE HIM WAIT, THE MORE EXPLOSIVE WHAT FOLLOWS IS GOING TO BE-!!!!!! HURRY UUUP!!!!!"She wanted to cure Alex herself, but she had literally no idea how to do so. She didn't even know what was holding a GOD in place like that. She turned back to the fight- JUST IN TIME TO DODGE SEVERAL BLOOD NEEDLES. "OH SHIT-!!! Alright buddy... GO TIME..." She rushes in as the monster succeeds in parrying off Todd's blows and blasting Swift back. Before he can counter with a follow up attack, she zoomed forward racket reeled back. "HEY JERK!!!! POWER RACKE--" he monster raised a sword too defend- BAM!!!! ONLY TO BE SUCKERPUNCHED BY A KICK TO THE FACE, "FOOT!!!" She finished looking so proud of herself for the excellent fake out attack. The kick sent the monster sliding backwards by several feet. Lizzie was panicking ROYALLY as she turned to see where the Paramount Key had been sent flying to. "Come on come on!!!" She dug through debris and finally found something gold glittering about it. "YES!!! EVAN OVER HERE!!! DO THE KEY FLYING THINGY HERE!!!" |

"I'M TRYING, GOD DANG IT!" Evan shouted as he tore his eyes away from the baffling sight of Brendon Urie in sprite form and rushed back into the chaos, swerving around whatever was thrown his way and sprinting in the direction the key had flown in.
The man in the scarf swung his keyblade in constant fluid motion, deflecting Forsaken and Todd's blood crystals right back at them. When Swift landed on him again, he delivered a sharp elbow to her stomach and an uppercut to her chin, then whirled around and sliced his blade across her torso, effectively knocking her away. He then turned to face Erin, reeling back to swing, only to receive a kick to the face.
Upon taking the hit, the man seemed to let out a thick, sickly cough before blipping out of sight. A few drops of black bile splattered onto the floor where he once stood. Simultaneously, he reappeared behind Erin, slamming his keyblade's bow down on her head before flying high above the group and raising a hand.
A strange aura surrounded him. He started shaking with fury. As he grew angrier, a calming sense seemed to befall those at his feet, their aggression diminishing...
Evan sharply turned in Lizzie's direction, and once the key was in his sight, he lifted his hand and summoned it into his grip. With his weapon back in his control, Evan dashed over to Alex. All the while, as Brendon finished making calamari out of any remaining tentacle that threatened his player, Brendon looked over his shoulder just in time to see Evan crouching over the thief. "WHOA WHOA WHOA S*** EVAN WAIT!!!"
It was easy for Evan to assume that Alex's aura was on account of void powers. If he knew what was really behind this surge of darkness, he probably would've taken Brendon's warnings to heart.
"Okay, buddy... I know you have some anger to let out, so let's do so conventionally."
He drove the key into Alex's chest... A few turns... A releasing click...

With a mighty leap, Swift landed on top of the beast, reaching around and raking her claws against his face as if in an attempt to remove his disguise. Almost immediately, she took a sharp hit to the stomach and chin, then she roared as she felt the cold steel of his key slice through her skin. It might not have been enough to cause lethal damage, but it was enough to draw blood, and it was enough to hurt.
The yokai slammed into the wall and fell to the floor. She was still for only a second, then she grabbed her wounded stomach, drenching her hands in her own blood, shot to her feet, swiped her claws through the air and...
"GGGRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
...UNLEASHED A BARRAGE OF BLOOD BLADES UPON EVERYONE IN THE ROOM.
As was painfully obvious to anyone with eyes, Swift's onslaught of rage was relentless, increasing, and devastatingly damaging to herself and everything around her. It was hard for even her to figure out what she was attacking at this point. She knew nothing but RAGE. THE URGE TO KILL. THE DESIRE TO RID HERSELF OF THESE VILE PESTS.
Even as the man drained the god tiers of their rage, Swift's never abated. She would let nothing stop her. She would not stand for this insubordination.
She was going to make them pay. If it was the last thing she did.

Forsaken gave a startled and pained cry as she attempted to dodge the deflected attacks and those coming from Swift. "EVAN! CONTROL YOUR GIRLFRIEND GOD DAMMIT!!" came before pained cry as one of the blood blades embedded itself in her othe shoulder.
Todd winced as he started up using his viola again. The sound directed towards the scarfed freak. A few blades narrowly missed the musician or gazed his skin.
Yang yelped and dodged several bouts of blades and needles.

ALMOST WITHIN THE INSTANT THAT EVAN UNLOCKED ALEX, A SHOCKWAVE BLASTED HIM BACKWARD AND THE GOD-TIER HAD COMPLETELY VANISHED. Lizzie meanwhile, had panicked and quickly retreated into the hallway as Swift's attacks started encompassing the room. Erin meanwhile-? THWACK-!!! "U-Ugh-..." She hit the ground, out cold, as the monster started absorbing the latent anger from everyone about the room, though it didn't seem to do anything to Swift whom just kept the attacks coming. SLICE SLICE SLICE SLICE SLICE-!!!!! The monster suddenly felt a presence zoom up behind him, and when it turned it found Alex standing there, head lowered, form sliced up by Swift's attacks... The attacks seemed to be falling around them now... The first victim... How fitting... The monster rushed forward, slashing out to finish off the thief and put him out of his misery- KLANK!! SLICE-!!!! [The music stops.) ................... Mere seconds before contact, the Thief had redirected the fatal stab with a racket, allowing it to slice through his waist instead-.... Then confusion became apparent as the wound, AND OTHER WOUNDS CAUSED BY SWIFT SUDDENLY VANISHED NEAR INSTANTANEOUSLY. .... ? The monster was on the god-tier, slicing and slicing and dicing repeatedly, all of the cuts just healing within seconds of each other. SHAKING AND GROWLING, the monster LUNGED FORWARD INTENDING TO END THIS NONSENSE ONCE AND FOR ALL. ONLY FOR THE THIEF TO EXPERTLY CATCH THE BLADE IN HIS HAND... THE BLADE DIDN'T EVEN CUT. ?

The Thief then rounded around, at speeds previously UNHEARD OF, STRIKING THE MONSTER HARD ON THE HEAD WITH A RACKET, THEN THE RACKET SLAMMING THE HEAD AGAINST THE GROUND HARD. MT.

"MOTHER F-!!!"
"GYAH-!!!"
Evan was flung backwards, crashing into the quest bed and coming to a halt sprawled atop it.
Brendon flinched and watched in dread, flying over to the bed and anxiously inspecting him. "OH F*** OH F*** OH F*** OH F***!"
The man in the scarf had been in the middle of sweeping Swift's blades in the fighters' direction when he realized just where Evan was currently positioned. He turned towards the quest bed, only to find his path obscured by the thief... his form drenched in darkness.
O̸h͢,̛ ͜g̕r͟e͟a͠t. Th̵is͡ a̵g̨ai̸n.͘
He could've easily stopped time and finished the rogue off first and foremost... but it was never that easy when this kid was like this. This could prove to be amusing, after all. And at least there was a possibility that Alex would do the job for him.
With the slightest nod, the man rushed at Alex with inhuman speed. He swung his keyblade, he slashed at the thief, he darted all around him as if time had sped up only for him. But of course it did nothing. And he knew it wouldn't.
He only stopped when Alex caught his blade, bringing himself face-to-face with the thief. He gave a tug, as if only to tease him, complacent even as the key shattered in their mutual grip. This close, Alex could see his blazing eyes narrow behind his tinted goggles.
"̴̛̕͜͜Ḑ̀͟͢͞ǫ͜͡ ̀҉̧í̷̴̛ţ̵̷̛͘.̴̶̵̨̀ ̷̡͏Į ̢̡̢̧͞B̶̸̧̧͠E҉̴̧́G̵̷̡͠ ̷̡͜y̴̸͝o҉̡͟͜͠u̵̢͟͝.̷͏̛͟͟"̧̡́
And he did.
Thinking quickly, Brendon dropped down on top of Evan, protecting him as the shockwave decimated the temple. Evan instinctively curled up beneath the sprite, the duo exchanging identical terrified expressions. Somehow, over the ear-piercing explosion, Evan could clearly hear Brendon gently say, "You... should... not have done that."
As everything settled, the two sat up on the bed, which quickly proved to be one of the only things still intact amongst the rubble. When the smoke was blown away, they saw Alex holding the man by the scarf... and of course, he seemed completely at ease with his situation. Even as he was smacked around, beaten to a pulp, and pretty much dealt a beating that no normal man could take, he just flopped around idly and accepted his fate.
Brendon sighed as he watched the ridiculously brutal display. "Glad to know you haven't changed, Clockwork."
Evan stared at the sprite in disbelief. "YOU KNOW THAT THING?!"
"Barely..."
One powerful blow to his jaw knocked Clockwork's scarf out of place. From out of his exposed mouth, laced with rotten teeth and black stains, spewed a grotesque spray of black bile. He blipped in and out of time only to readjust his scarf; he hadn't even moved an inch within that single frame. He then folded his arms behind his back and leaned forward, almost as if politely offering himself to Alex for all of his violent pleasure. Soon enough, he was crashing head-first into the face of the mountain.
And having taken this final blow, Clockwork vanished once again.
Tick...
Tock...
Tick...
Tock...
SHINK
A crystalline knife seemed to appear out of nowhere. In Alex's chest.
Clockwork reappeared shortly afterwards, calmly standing before the thief, totally unscathed, his keyblade back in his hand looking just as it had before.
"̢̧͞҉T͏̷̡͝͞h̷̛ą̛̀͝t͝͠ ͏͏ẃá͜ś̡̧̨͢ ̵̧͢͠f̧͜͠ų̶̴͜ǹ͟҉̡́.̸̶̡͞͠"̶̕
He then flew past Alex and towards the quest bed, sword aimed to strike Evan.
Brendon was quick to swoop in, his katana clashing with the keyblade, his face a mask of pure fury. "WILL! YOU! F*** OFF ALREADY?!!"

"Kensuke?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm... confused. They... Kendall's friends... They seemed very put off by my knowledge of the Skaian gods. And Evan... I don't understand why this revelation would startle him so."
"Eh, your guess is as good as mine."
"And the others... What if...?"
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"糞!!!"
--------
With a screech that in no way resembled anything human, yokai or even lupine, Swift was blown away and quickly buried beneath the debris. She screamed in unequivocal vehemence as she was struck down from all sides, then she went silent.
............
Get up.
.........
Get UP.
......
You can't die like this.
"Grrr..."
You can't lose to these WEAKLINGS.
"RRRGGGHHH...!"
Show them who you are.
"AAAUUUGGGHHH...!!!"
Kill them.
KABOOOOM
"SHINEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
Swift erupted from the rubble in an explosion of dust, blood, and fiery, hedonistic savagery. Immediately, she threw herself at the monster called Clockwork while he was distracted by Brendon, driving her claws into his back so powerfully that her hand ripped clear through him and burst out of his stomach. Crimson fluid sprayed all over the yokai (not to mention the sprite), painting her livid face as a frantic smile danced across her lips.
And it felt... so good.
