The Last Poster Wins! [V9]

[Ganyu]

*leaves a DARK-type PARTING GIFT*

Au revoir, narrator who clearly cannot think of a better pseudonym.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*As it has to neither be an attack or party-targeted buff to be successful, it is assumed your attack is MEMENTO. You faint, but IMAGE'S offenses are brought down to a considerably lower level. He'll still oneshot you, but he'll probably have issues dealing with GRIMORE and ACIDIC SEOUL.*

Image: Hrmph!

*The Clockstoppers attempt to fire at you, but they all miss. Image doesn't bother with you further. ABSCOND SUCCESSFUL!*

*You still have to find (AND SAVE) ACIDIC SEOUL AND GRIMORE, to make sure the ARMS OF ATLAS don't fall into the hands of that Gary Stu IMAGE.*

Image: Insulting. Do you think my plans worked last time? Do you think I appreciate my primary competition being insane-and, SOMEHOW, managing to upstart me the majority of the time!?...Hrmph. One more reason for nothingness to be the new order, so bloodthirsty lunatics like those mercs aren't prowling around.

Tazz: OI!!! -insert long rant of inappropriate words here.-

Image: I tried to be reasonable, Seoul! But you have exhauseted my options, bar one. Time to burn down the house.

*The ships above all fire onto the lush jungle that covers 1/6th of EALOT. Fires quickly rage, burning down trees that haven't been annihilated by the cannon fire. This place won't last.*

Acidic Seoul: YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!

*ACIDIC SEOUL is fleeing-despite the voice coming from one direction, ACIDIC SEOUL went a completely different one, as the smoke that is GRIMORE and ACIDIC SEOUL indicate. However, quickly the whole area becomes a smoking mess-if you get too far behind you will lose him! FOLLOW ACIDIC SEOUL, AND FINISH YOUR STRIFE!*

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS speeds after ACIDIC SEOUL and GRIMORE, attempting to weaken them through a barrage of ranged attacks, whilst constantly moving to avoid being hit.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*ACIDIC SEOUL and GRIMORE are not yet tangible! They cannot target you either, so you just spend the action running. It's not fast enough! You are losing ground, rapidly, and the smoke and cannon fire is making it very hard to see the fumes that are the duo you're chasing after! As you are now far away from certain entities who LIKE TO USE YOUR TIME-BASED ABILITIES AGAINST YOU, perhaps now would be the time to use a certain TIME-BASED ABILITY?*

[Ganyu]

Will we able to KO IMAGE with their help? If not, we should probably just not care and hide somewhere.

*poofs*

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS speeds forward with the help of TEMPORAL MARATHON.* It's about time! I was waiting to get out of the Clockstoppers' range...

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*You care because they wield the ARMS OF ATLAS that IMAGE need. If you have all three, you can keep them safe, or destroy them even, preventing their entrance into the VOIDIAL DRYDOCKS, netting you an instant win.*

*SIVELOS speeds ahead, stopping ACIDIC SEOUL and GRIMORE quickly, though they are still smoke.*

Acidic Seoul: PERSISTENT, AREN'T WE?! Well, if it's death you seek, CAN WE AT LEAST LEAVE THE VICINITY OF THE BURNING JUNGLE?!

*He's completely right, the barrage and the fires are not exactly an optimal location to fight in, and considering he's giving you an option you might as well listen this once.*

*TAZZ uses MACH UP 1! Everyone now goes 1 whole MACH faster than before.*

[Sir Sivelos]

Of course. I know about a particularly barren planet nearby. Little to no life on it, perfect place for a battle. What do you say?

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*ACIDIC SEOUL briefly materializes to fire an arrow at your pathetic rear end. He doesn't want to even remotely risk it. You dodge, but lose a bit of ground. Keep running! JUST KEEP RUNNING!*

*Cannon fire from the Ragnak fleet seems to be concentrating on you.*

[Sir Sivelos]

YEESH! *SIVELOS keeps moving to dodge attacks. He's just focusing on keeping up with GRIMORE and ACIDIC SEOUL.*
