The Last Poster Wins! [v8]

[Sir Sivelos]

So, uh... It's not like we can attack Nidhogg. So do we take out the guys commanding it?

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Tazz: Nidhogg is nigh-invulnerable, Freedom isn't. We aim for Freedom. I doubt Nidhogg will-

*A massive wall of white-hot fire is rushing towards you from the other figures. Tazz blocks it with Universe Edge's superising just in time-and you definitely feel the heat.*

???: So, YOU'RE the ones Image was talking about...I'm sorry, unenlightened twits, but this is the end of the road for you.

Tazz:...Who are you?

???: The name is Bloodhound. I'm not going to wax philosophic, I'll just ask you to surrender and die quickly, or fight back and die...Less than quickly.

Teal: Oh, the irony...

Bloodhound: Hurm?

Teal: It's best you don't know, I feel.

Bloodhound: Have you worked with me? Are you on their side?

Teal: We were not deployed together at any point, I assure you...Actually, it's kind of complicated...This isn't.

*With those words, Teal makes the opening move and jabs the rapier at Bloodhound. He takes a flash step backwards, but you have initiative on his sorry a**. Hopefully. You know how Elder Souls are tough. At least you have one of your own helping now.*

[Sir Sivelos]

Okay! *SIVELOS uses TECHs: SOVEREIGN'S SWORD and SOVEREIGN'S SHIELD! Blah blah blah maxed stats. SIVELOS uses another TECH: HARMONIOUS ASCENSION! SIVELOS buffs are copied and then distributed to Teal, Tazz, and any other allies. They all have the maxed offenses and defenses now.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*Bloodhound interuppts Silveos'es Soviergen's Shield (and by extension, Harmonious Ascension)! Bloodhound charges forward and punches you HARD into a rock pillar he sent out of the ground with lava spewing out from it, cutting into the Orc Sergeant Major's troops like hot butter. You take damage from being hit, slamming into a wall harder than you, and the lava. That's quite a bit of damage...*

Bloodhound: OPEN FIRE ON THE BARD!

*All of Bloodhound's troops focus fire on Silveos! If he doesn't get behind something quickly, or make something to get behind, he'll die horribly and respawn in the cave, which is a bit of a ways away...It'll take you a turn to get back in the fight if that happens. Your other actions did not occur either, though Soviergen's Sword, which you did before Shield, worked perfectly. One turn at a time, Silvy. There could be worse done to you still.*

*Tazz uses LV. 9384 CRYOTECH: STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM! All enemies at or below Tazz'es level are frozen in place and unable to move, which is...Most of them, thankfully, as Tazz is now higher level than RK due to training. Which is a mercy. They can still fire. It would have completely frozen anyone 1000 Levels below Tazz, which is less than you think, but due to the dimensional glitch surrounding Dark Aura and Tazz's absorbation of it, nobody is lower than Tazz'es level, which poses additional problem for Silveos, no less than 5 classes beneath Tazz. Skill will have to substitute power here.*

*Teal uses LV. 9999 PALEDRAKETECH: FIELDS OF CRYSTAL DEATH! Without warning, crystals of incredibly pure arcane energy burst forth from the ground in front of teal, catching most of the frozen troops off guard and killing them due to issues with...Mobility. Bloodhound, nor any troop that DID have movement, did NOT get hit.*

*Bloodhound uses UNIQUETECH: THROUGH THE FIRE AND FLAMES! The crystals dissipate into the air just in time for magma to suddenly replace 90% of the terrain. What everyone was standing on before is safe, but otherwise there is no platform to speak of for miles. You fall in, you're going to be in a world of hurt and die in 2 seconds. Oh, and the platforms are now on fire-without any fire reistance, you take DoT (Damage over Time).*

*Nidhogg is dealing with the troops the Orc General is throwing at it, unable to attack you or Tazz's Dark Aura clones (what, you didn't think he didn't send them out?) for now.*

*Freedom uses LV. 999 PYROTECH: BALLS OF FIRE! Freedom launches massive fire orbs from his staff to you guys-and your allies! Silveos, out of the way, is unharmed, but otherwise everyone takes a good deal of damage and is Paralyzed, unable to fluidly move...Including Bloodhound, who he also hit. The fire mostly empowered him, though, giving him an Attack up instead of damage...But Paralysis is a bit of a problem.*

Freedom:...Oops.

Bloodhound: I appreciate your help, but please don't do that again!

[Sir Sivelos]

*runs behind rock pillar* EEEEEEEEEH MY SHOULDER *SIVELOS cracks his neck* Ah, much better. Anyway... *SIVELOS uses TECH (TIER 5): DEATH BY VAPOR! A vaporous, highly corrosive acid is released into the air. It quickly spreads, and any enemies begin taking DoT.*

[Wander]

PARALYSIS AND FIRE WHY

You shouldn't be complaining that much, since paralysis and fire affects us the most!

oh yeah

also you need your gun hold up lemme get it for you //opens a space bridge and pulls Swerve's gun out, then throws it to him

*catches it* Alright, better aim carefully at these guys! *starts firing at the troops who weren't frozen*

*transforms his arms into large piledrivers* I'm ready to shake, break, rattle, and QUAKE! *pounds piledrivers onto the ground, causing huge earthquakes and a few fissures here and there, with a few of the troops falling in*

*fires his shoulder cannon thing at any enemy he sees*

you know I think I'm gonna go get another 'bot, 'cause we need all the help we can get //opens a space bridge and jumps into it

[Sir Sivelos]

Hey, guys! I have a very potent attack that may be useful... But I need you guys to defend me while it charges! *SIVELOS prepares TECH: WRATH OF THE CORONA'S BLOOMING LOTUS! A closed flower bud appears in Sivelos's hand. Anyone who can sense energy would know that this thing is emitting an ungodly amount of energy, and it keeps on skyrocketing. Within about 30 seconds, this thing will blow everything skyhigh. It appears to be maturing from a closed bud to a closed flower as it charges.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*Almost everyone on-field quickly applies a Paralyze heal after Freedom's attack, but Bloodhound uses LV. 99 EXTREMESPEED! He rushes into the fray with truly absurd speeds, blows by all defenses without taking a scratch, breaking rank, and slams your hand in your eye with enough force to send you into the lava-he himself unharmed. This disrupts the attack if nothing else, and just in case, Bloodhound is proven to be shielded enough to take the full blow. At this close range, his wolf-like mask and similarity to Teal's (and the Black's) armor is striking. It must have been a popular set...*

*Tazz's many selves combo up and fire at Bloodhound. Tazz himself and use LV: 99 FREEZETECH: NEGATIVE KELVIN! The entire lava pit is frozen solid, back into stone, and everyone may freely move.*

*Teal uses ARCANA: GREAT CRYSTAL SPEAR SHOWER! Without warning, a volly of magical crystals rushes towards Bloodhound, which he narrowly avoids. Upon contact with the ground, they explode with quite a bit of force.*

*Bloodhound's troops advance, or if they're close enough, fling LV. 99 FIREBALLS at your face. They hurt.*

*Freedom and Nidhogg are preoccupied with the Orc and Troll troops. Be thankful.*

[Sir Sivelos]

*The Corona's Lotus falls to the ground, unharmed. It is at about 50%.* This is pissing me off. *SIVELOS uses TECH: LVL. 99 COSMIC CATACLYSM! An enormous explosion that resembles a nebula wipes out everything in its radius.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*Bloodhound takes the Lotus with a quick snap and starts charging his energy into it...But the Lotus isn't increasing in Charge and if it detonates it doesn't harm allies. Your Knowledge Ring doesn't get what he's doing with it, but comes up with several logical assumptions, including attempting to hijack it or destroy it, or somehow get charge from it. Bloodhound backs off for now-you may want to attempt to grab back. Coincidentally, Bloodhound has evaded the Nebula, but a few of his troops didn't, and die immediately. He preps an attack, but then suddenly cancels the attack and then creates a Lava Pool, which he and his (apparently fire-proof troop) dive into.*

*One look at Nidhogg says why they decided on this suddenly defensive course of action after relentless attack-Nidhogg is heading towards you, full-force, readying up a broadside of acid! You don't have the energy shields of the ship to survive so much as a shot-you'd better figure out a kind of cover, and now!*

*Tazz creates an Icy wall for him and his many selves to get behind.*

*Teal just vanishes into nothingness.*

*The trolls and orcs are trying to still shoot at Nidhogg and Freedom from a distance.*
