[Sir Sivelos]

*APOPH uses STARLIGHT SMASH! APOPH raises his flail, THE PLANET ON A STICK, and out of it pops a star, a literal star. The star is attached to the flail, and APOPH strikes BAAL with a literal stellar collision. A LITERAL STAR.*

*Meanwhile, NIGHTMARE returns to the center chamber and attempts to unlock the door with the HUMILIATION KEY.*

[Ganyu]

*casts ETERNITY: TURBULENCE OF TIME; a whirlwind of time energies raze across the battlefield!*

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS is still wondering why his PERSONA wanted him to inspect the ORIGIN GLAIVE.*

*APOPH uses PHYTOMISSILE! Several streams of light emit from APOPH, rocketing towards BAAL and exploding on impact!*

[Neo Emolga]

*NEO uses ONSLAUGHT OF THE LIGHT'S GRACE! He opens his palms, which suddenly flare with brilliant, shadow-eradicating light! Suddenly, a shimmering, raging vortex of blinding, white-hot light surrounds BAAL like a whirlpool before blasting a colossal torrent of blazing white energy at him up from below!*

[Sir Sivelos]

*APOPH uses PHYTOBLADE! Using residue light from his previous attack, APOPH forms a blade of light before launching it at BAAL, skewering him!*

[Ganyu]

*casts DANCE OF BOREDOM; Baal becomes so bored that the next attack takes him off-guard.*

[Sir Sivelos]

*APOPH strikes with a PHYTOCRUSHER! APOPH takes two LITERAL stars and smashes them into BAAL, crushing him between them!*

*SIVELOS shakes the ORIGIN GLAIVE.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

((OK, in advance: Life is less kind to me than I thought, but in any case I've just been out of it recently. Continue to expect some long-ish absenses, but I'll try my best to curb that.))

What are you…? *SIVELOS takes out the ORIGIN GLAIVE.*

*APOPH shrugs.*

Apoph: I figured a more defensive and supportive approach would have been more wise, considering I've spent most of this fight as a corpse. *APOPH uses TRACED SPECTRUM! APOPH sends out a ball (hahaha get it) of light, that hovers right in front of BAAL's eyes… then it seemingly explodes, giving BAAL a sensory overload that nearly fries his eyes! It may be painful, but it sure was beautiful beyond words. BAAL is now blind, his accuracy has taken a sharp drop, and all eye-based attacks (such as laser vision, and the like) will have a higher chance of failing.*

*You vaugely recall this being important somehow...Something big. But you don't have the energy for anything Overcharge-ish, or close to it. (For reference: Overcharge is 150% minimum.)*

*In this form, BAAL cannot be harmed by STATUS EFFECTS!*

*casts BERSERK FLAG on everyone including self*

*casts NIGHT KING'S BLIZZARD; BAAL is overwhelmed by the GOT reference!!*

*BAAL uses a QUICK INTERRUPT to immediately use DISABLE on BERSERK FLAG! You can no longer use it, and thus fail.*

*APOPH uses STARLIGHT SMASH! APOPH raises his flail, THE PLANET ON A STICK, and out of it pops a star, a literal star. The star is attached to the flail, and APOPH strikes BAAL with a literal stellar collision. A LITERAL STAR.*

*Meanwhile, NIGHTMARE returns to the center chamber and attempts to unlock the door with the HUMILIATION KEY.*

*WHAM! BAAL HP: 4%!*

*Nightmare does not find a door in the center room. Or anything at all, it seems. No whispering. Further investigation is necessary to proceed.*

*casts ETERNITY: TURBULENCE OF TIME; a whirlwind of time energies raze across the battlefield!*

*You didn't think this through very much, did you.*

*WHAM! Your Own Barrier dissipates, and everyone but you's HP is back to one! BAAL'S HP: 3%!*

*SIVELOS is still wondering why his PERSONA wanted him to inspect the ORIGIN GLAIVE.*

*APOPH uses PHYTOMISSILE! Several streams of light emit from APOPH, rocketing towards BAAL and exploding on impact!*

*BAAL quickly polishes his main sword to a mirror sheen, then multiplies it in front of him! They rhiocchet, hitting no-one.*

*NEO uses ONSLAUGHT OF THE LIGHT'S GRACE! He opens his palms, which suddenly flare with brilliant, shadow-eradicating light! Suddenly, a shimmering, raging vortex of blinding, white-hot light surrounds BAAL like a whirlpool before blasting a colossal torrent of blazing white energy at him up from below!*

*BAAL shifts the swords downwards.*

*APOPH uses PHYTOBLADE! Using residue light from his previous attack, APOPH forms a blade of light before launching it at BAAL, skewering him!*

*BAAL shifts the swords back up.*

*casts DANCE OF BOREDOM; Baal becomes so bored that the next attack takes him off-guard.*

*You fail to bore him as he's immune to status conditions!*

*APOPH strikes with a PHYTOCRUSHER! APOPH takes two LITERAL stars and smashes them into BAAL, crushing him between them!*

*SIVELOS shakes the ORIGIN GLAIVE.*

*Baal shifts the swords to the side quickly, blocking them.*

*The ORIGIN GLAIVE gives off a spark of an immense super-move! However, you need more energy to perform it. You're not entirely sure if it'll be USEFUL, given BAAL is so close to death, but someone needs to give you energy to perform it, or you need another one of those super energy drinks.*

*BAAL is preparing a huge one, siphoning his last hit points-all but one-and coincidentally activating his SUPER ABILITY: PLOT ARMOR! Only something sufficiently powerful/flashy could ever hope to penetrate his last percentile of hit points! However, as a side effect, anything PLOT-IMPORTANT enough to kill him will glow! BAAL's SWORD and SIVELOS's ORIGIN GLAIVE both glow a pure white, which mean that the proper attack done with either of them will work!...This doesn't tell you WHAT plot-important attack, of course.*

*In the DUNGEON, NIGHTMARE senses a sensation on his back. Despite, you know, being cloaked.*

[Sir Sivelos]

*APOPH gives all of his remaining energy to SIVELOS!*

It is time...

*SIVELOS uses...*
*ULTIMATE UNIQUETECH: SILVERSOUL!*

*SIVELOS swings the ORIGIN GLAIVE, it's blade cutting the very fabric of reality itself... And almost instantaneously, an immense flood of power, the likes of which not even BAAL himself can top, blast from the ORIGIN GLAIVE's blade surging into BAAL, coalescing into an enormous ball of pure white light, so bright that it hurts to look at it. The ball of light explodes, emitting a shockwave so intense that the people manning your base can feel it. BAAL takes INFINITY + 1 damage!!*

*...No kill like overkill...*

---

*Meanwhile, NIGHTMARE winces at the sudden shift in lighting in the DUNGEON. He tries to scratch at his back (does he even have a back??), while looking around for things.*

*APOPH transfers JUST ENOUGH energy to allow you to use your OVERCHARGE! You raise up the ORIGIN GLAIVE...And the Dovahkiin, immediately summoning itself, rips it out of your grip and stabs you straight through the head, the sword glowing white.*

*This being your OVERCHARGE, you do not die, but it's clear that what's going on ISN'T what you were thinking of.*

*Suddenly, you start to glow an unearthly white, from your eyes to your face, as the sword completely dissipates and merges with your body, strange markings making themselves blatantly apparent, structured and patterned, spreading across your body. At the same time, power surges through you.*

Tazz:...Oh my.

Rebecca: ...What?!

Ominous:...

*SIVELOS's markings spread to the DOVAHKIIN, similar patterns repeating themselves upon his skin. They are ancient and unidentifiable to almost everyone present. BAAL has completely given up whatever he was doing, as is everyone else, except the non-present NIGHTMARE.*

*It's now blatantly clear to everyone that has a brain that, even by the standards of this world, you are not just some random shmuck. The few that recognize those markings recognize something far beyond what is claimed (of which there is one present).*

SIVELOS > CLIMAX UNIQUETECH:
ORIGINSOUL

*Your brief transformation complete, you feel the full scope of your power-that is, the full ability to warp reality without the threat of the Counterwarp, combined with your unnaturally high ability to warp reality in the first place. Indeed, the local fabric bends around you as if to ready itself to your will, and your mind races as the possibilities-and how to cause them-play themselves out in your head. At the same time, the DOVAHKIIN, and thusly your root in a vauge sense of justice, plus the limited time, prevent you from going mad with power: You realize exactly what you'll need to do in these next few minutes and how to do so.*

*First, you point a finger at Baal, and immediately massive swords made of the very Fabric, harder than any material otherwise available and sharpened beyond the atomic point, generate themselves around you. A fingersnap, and BAAL is immediately penetrated. Another snap-they explode like furious dynamite, taking out most of the surrounding Multiverse (as per usual for these levels of attack power). A third snap, and you make the Force go into overtime and repair everything...But doing a 'shoddy' job on BAAL, causing him to 'reassemble' improperly, forcing him to be immobile for the rest.*

*The DOVAHKIIN roars, channeling MAZIO, which is normally a wide-scale electricity attack. You snap your fingers, and the MAZIO turns into MAZIODYNE-X, a freshly created variant on the strongest variant of MAZIO, outputting your power over the WARP in addition to truly unbelievable amounts of lightning. The DOVAHKIIN shouts: STRUN BA QUO! The force of the lightning reaches into the very sky itself, creating thunderclouds instantly that, within a second, all strike BAAL at once, and seem to last indefinitely, trapping him in a self-generated cage of death and lightning, which would have probably killed any other foe here. However, he still preserves his last hit point.*

*You realize that your newfound power is going to only have a few more seconds, so in your last moments of omnipotence, you draw forth the ORIGIN GLAIVE from your very being-a sword which was merely a catalyst to your transformation, not exactly the cause of it. It now glows an ominous Cobalt Blue, completely unknown inscriptions upon it in a pitch black, and you brandish it at BAAL, pointing it at him. The nigh-blinding LIGHTNING barely causing him to see it, he looks genuinely worried for a change. As the Cobalt Blue energy reeks off of it, you ready up, as the DOVAHKIIN generates a sword of his own, a mirror of yours, including the Cobalt Blue energy. You draw back, rush at BAAL, and in two clean strokes, one each, literally cut him in thirds.*

*BAAL SLAIN!*

*SIVELOS'es markings wear off and the DOVAHKIIN desummons.*

*BAAL's servant is speechless. You have won, securing supplies for WANDER, and winning APOPH back his kingdom.*

...

*MEANWHILE, NIGHTMARE scratches at his back, and feels...A very cold finger.*

*Because you have common sense, you immediately back off and turn around, being greeted by what has got to be the ugliest thing you have ever seen, best described as a hilariously oversized parody of GALACTA KNIGHT mixed with you-lacking a concrete lower body, instead having a black tornado hovering over a sphere, masked with that ugly thing, the SUNLIGHT GALAXIA resting in his hand, wings raised, and cloaked. You can tell it is NOT the same cloak you wear, but has the same power-meaning only the properly-attuned STAR ELEMENT attacks could harm this douchebag. AT the same time, you realize that YOUR cloak has LOST this property at this point-you have regained a more physical body, reminiscent of BAAL's though definitely not, as you lack the heavy armor he totes. This is not the situation you want to be in.*

*You search yourself for weapons-as you don't have any techniques that can harm your cloak on the off-chance it could be reflected back at you-and realize that, even taking your new 'body's clothes into account, you have nothing but the KEY...And as it happens, the mask has an inscription of a keyhole. Not an actual keyhole, just an inscription. Inspecting the whole Key closer, you realize it has a star mark on the end.*

*...You're literally gonna murder a version of you mixed with GALACTA KNIGHT roughly fifty times your size. With a freaking regular KEY. You don't have weapon proficiency with that! But, you really don't have a choice, it seems. Looks like you're gonna have to get to work on this!*

*The enemy-hitherto referred to as THE HUMILIATOR-immediately casts GRAVITY, for some reason! You can no longer fly!*
