The Last Poster Wins! [V9]

[Sir Sivelos]

((MENTLEGEN. HAH.))

Not exactly what I had in mind, but okay! *SIVELOS uses COPY ESSENCE DELUXE: CRASH! A massive explosion covers the entire battlefield! This cannot be avoided or deflected, so the HELMSMAN takes damage! However, SIVELOS's use of Crash has been used up for the remainder of the fight with the HELMSMAN.*

*APOPH uses his TRI-FLAIL! Six types of damage!*

*MR. ICE generates a mix of FIRE and ICE typed Pokemon, which all swarm towards the HELMSMAN, using BLIZZARDS, ICICLE CRASHES, FLAMETHROWERS, FLAME CHARGES, and the like.*

*THE HELMSMAN dodges all three of you! Sivelos didn't even get the chance to attack-it rebounded onto him! APOPH's TRI-FLAIL is destroyed in a dark purple fire, and MR. ICE hit illusions! And yes, the TRI-FLAIL was just annihilated.*

[Sir Sivelos]

Apoph: How dare you!?

Sivelos: *via mental communication with Justice* <Oi, Tazz! I'm going to try something... Can you divert the Helmsman's aggro away from me so I can pull it off? I have an ability in which I can transform into somebody from my mythos, with little to no drawbacks... But I need the Helmsman not to attack me so I can do it!>

*SIVELOS leaps to the back of the arena, and his appearance shifts. He's obviously transforming.*

*APOPH, obviously realizing what SIVELOS is up to, blasts the HELMSMAN with a HAILFIRE BEAM! The combined fury of icy cold and fiery heat blast the HELMSMAN head on, giving them the feeling of when one drinks a cold drink after brushing their teeth! Aggro is brought onto APOPH!*

*MR. ICE fires a level 9999 ICE BEAM at the HELMSMAN... Lucky! MR. ICE freezes the HELMSMAN's legs, preventing them from moving. At least until they break out...*

*Pro tip: With a foe like THE HELMSMAN, assume that, at all times, she is literally EXACTLY where you do NOT want her to be. Especially since you haven't gone trying to destroy the illusion.*

*APOPH and MR. ICE (and DMK, who is STILL HERE) have both hit an illusion! SIVELOS is immediately attacked from the frontside, then had his head thrust to the floor, cancelling the transformation.*

[Sir Sivelos]

Ow... Okay then! *SIVELOS uses level 9999 QUAD SHOCK! Using his blade, SIVELOS knocks the HELMSMAN away with four vertical slashes!*

*SIVELOS leaps back and uses level 9999 OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND! He becomes completely undetectable, and continues his transformation.*

*DARK META KNIGHT summons a mini-army of DMK Clones to swarm after the HELMSMAN. He then uses level 9999 MIRRORIC FLARE! Using potent Mirror-magics, the area is now incapable of supporting any illusions for the time being.*

*APOPH, clearly angered that one of his signature weapons was annihilated, gains a tick to his anger meter. APOPH's rage is now +1! He uses that opportunity to use level 9999 WAVE OF DESOLATION! A wave of earth surges out from APOPH, sweeping throughout the entire arena!*

*You slash the HELMSMAN away, dealing damage!*

*As you go about, SUPPOSEDLY hidden, THE HELMSMAN stabs you in the back with his TIGER CLAWS! You are backstabbed, and thus instantly slain in most cases, but the effects of ENDURE make sure you only go UNCONSCIOUS, considering the primary effect just up and vanished. SIVELOS KO'd!*

*DMK's mini-clones are unambiguously annihilated by a pulse of light that hits the whole party for damage, and the attempt to null illusions of THIS potency fail! The mirror magics backfire into DMK's face, costing him energy!*

*The lack of actual stone here means your attack does far, far less, but as it's you who's the source, THE HELMSMAN finally takes a hit!*

*...You feel like you're being watched by someone else...But nobody else is here with you!*

[Sir Sivelos]

*APOPH grumbles, using level 9999 THOUSAND ARROWS! Many sharp projectiles fall from the sky, all targeting the HELMSMAN. If it hits, the HELMSMAN's maneuverability will be severely cut.*

*DMK uses level 9999 DRILL RUN!*

*SIVELOS is laying unconscious. Some minor effects of the transformation did get through, but they are strictly visual changes... His skin is now obsidian black, he's glowing a faint gold. It should wear off shortly.*

[Ganyu]

*rips open multiple Meteor Storms all over the place, not taking any chances*

*casts Shadow Blitzkrieg as well*

[Sir Sivelos]

*APOPH casts level 9999 MAELSTROM all over the arena! A vicious whirlwind of power is swirling and whirling in the center of the arena… Pulling the HELMSMAN into its epicenter!*

*MR. ICE uses level 9999 FREEZE SHOCK! A large chunk of electrically-charged ice is shot at the HELMSMAN like a cannon!*

*SIVELOS is still down and out.*

*SIVELOS is laying unconscious. Some minor effects of the transformation did get through, but they are strictly visual changes... His skin is now obsidian black, he's glowing a faint gold. It should wear off shortly.*

*There IS no Sky here! The projectiles generate as high as they can go! The HELMSMAN is riddled with arrows, but more importantly, it's kind of hard to argue that the moving arrows are NOT a telltale sign of where she is.*

*DMK's DRILL RUN hits THE HELMSMAN dead-on!*

*rips open multiple Meteor Storms all over the place, not taking any chances*

*casts Shadow Blitzkrieg as well*

*METEOR STORMS barrage THE HELMSMAN from all sides as well! SHADOW BLITZKREIG, however, is blocked by a pulse of pure light! There's a crack on her helmet!*

*APOPH casts level 9999 MAELSTROM all over the arena! A vicious whirlwind of power is swirling and whirling in the center of the arena… Pulling the HELMSMAN into its epicenter!*

*MR. ICE uses level 9999 FREEZE SHOCK! A large chunk of electrically-charged ice is shot at the HELMSMAN like a cannon!*

*SIVELOS is still down and out.*

*THE HELMSMAN quickly equips an M-16 and uses LV. 9999 PULLING OUT M-16 ATTACK! The sheer fact the M-16 is in her hands causes APOPH to trip up and take fast damage!*

*Using the M-16, she supercharges her shots with light and blasts through the cannon and into MR. ICE, damaging him and stopping his attack.*

*You swear something else is here. But there isn't. Even THE HELMSMAN seems rather off-put by this feeling, implying it's not just you. Yet, there is no indication something else is here.*

*THE HELMSMAN removes the arrows form her armor! You're going to need another way to track her, or else destroy her high-class illusions. More than one illusion-breaking attack, perhaps?*
