[Neo Emolga]

In all seriousness, it might be a while. Tazz did mention he's busy in the leave thread. So yeah, just relax and hang tight for a bit.

[Sir Sivelos]

Which was why I paused the fight before.

It seems he's getting some time to himself though, which explains his presence on the forums.

We can't rush him though. Everyone has work to do.

Apoph: *scoffs* Never stopped me.

Yeah, but you're not in college. Or real life.

Apoph: That's no excuse!

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*SIVELOS uses TEMPORAL MARATHON, quickly using RECOVER and the SOVEREIGN'S X buffs.*

Hey, can somebody give me an Aegis?

*APOPH does the same as SIVELOS, only without TEMPORAL MARATHON.*

*SIVELOS was already at full HP, FYI.*

*A black symbol of an eye appears above every member's head, conferring them the Reaper's Cloak and Reaper's Acuity buffs. Meanwhile, Aqua Veil (a more large scale casting of Aqua Ring) returns to cloak everyone. The phantasmal fog rolls back in...*

*Buffed!*

((If I missed someone, just assume they got everything too. :P)

*LITERALLY HOLY [REDACTED].*

*BUFFED TO THE NINES! All stats MAXED! Granted, flight is something everyone has. Even NIGHTMARE, encaged in BAAL'S GREATSWORD, is buffed! However, Neo's transformation into Neoxan has caused the flags to be knocked to the four winds...*

Baal's servant: Ah, it appears that we have slightly underestimated your abilities and potential size. Fortunately, his Admirable Tyrrany Lord Baal has thought of this possibility.

*And with that, the Flags reappear, marking out an area that even Neoxan could give considerable with. The SWORD ORBITER's size and sword count has increased with it! Be prepared to defend against MORE ATTACKS.*

*Meanwhile, within the imprisoned sword, NIGHTMARE's mental eye notices something it did not previously-opposite the window, a mysterious gate in a non-english language unfamiliar to NIGHTMARE has appeared, standing ominously. Apparently Neo's Buffs have given him the ability to notice this. The gate reads: "Лабиринт Гордостью."*

In all seriousness, it might be a while. Tazz did mention he's busy in the leave thread. So yeah, just relax and hang tight for a bit.

*I'll try to update daily at worst.*

Baal's Servant: Now then...RESUME!

*BAAL's Sword Orbiter, now massive, goes into overdrive, hitting everyone without warning! It appears that your massive buffs have capped your stats, but your capped stats are still not enough to (completely) overwhelm BAAL! Thankfully, the barrier soaks up the hit for all of you, but you will need to make new barriers.*

*As a reminder: the party on-field includes NEO(XAN), SIVELOS, APOPHIS, TAZZ, OMINOUS, REBECCA, WANDER, ECRIVAIN, THUNDER AND DENNIS. NIGHTMARE is currently trapped within BAAL'S GREATSWORD, though buffs that affect the whole party will still affect him...As well as debuffs. Only those kind, though, you can't specifically target him at this stage.*

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS attempts what he did a while ago - in the LPW9 - summoning his PERSONA! SIVELOS summons the DOVAHKIIN, who appears behind him, armed for battle.*

FUS RO DAH!

*SIVELOS and DOVAHKIIN seemed to say that simultaneously, as if they were the same mind controlling two beings. Upon the uttering of the 'dah,' an ENORMOUS shockwave, completely destroying all records on the Richter scale, surges towards Baal like a tidal wave, causing him to trip up so fiercely, that… Well, we'll find out. SIVELOS puts his PERSONA CARD, with the DOVAHKIIN having vanished, back in his inventory.*

*Meanwhile, NIGHTMARE contacts TAZZ via telepathy.*

Nightmare: (You seem like the best person for this… There's a peculiar gate in my prison, with an inscription reading… Uh… Well, I can't read it, but I can give you a mental projection of the inscription.)

*Suddenly, a mental image of the gate, reading "Лабиринт Гордостью," appears in TAZZ's head.*

[Dennis Jansen]

Leafeon-Dennis: Oooh yeah!

*DENNIS used SEED BOMB*

Thunder: All right!

*THUNDER used THROW HAMMERS IN ENEMY´S FACE*

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS follows up this powerful shockwave with… Nothing much. It looks like the effort of the attack tuckered SIVELOS out, as he's wheezing. It looks like he lost his voice. He should be better next turn.*

*APOPH flies upward, high enough to be between the upper atmosphere and the lower. He spreads his six glowing wings, which reflect the light of the nearby sun, causing them to glow incredibly bright, to the point where APOPH appears to be a second sun. An aura of pure PAIN appears around APOPH. APOPH uses SUNTECH: GOD OF THE SUN'S SOLAR SMACKDOWN! APOPH flies straight down, aimed at BAAL with true accuracy, dive-bombing him with enough force to shame a galactic collision! Upon impact, the sun-like aura around APOPH EXPLODES, consuming the entirety of the ARENA, blasting everything within the surrounding galaxy. The terrain is thankfully repaired by the FORCE, along with the other casualties. APOPH is obviously within range of the SWORD ORBITER, and he gets smacked out of the SWORD ORBITER by a random sword. However, on the plus side, APOPH could have a new UNIQUETECH! That was quite an epic attack.*

Apoph: Ahhhh... *APOPH is in need of a new barrier.*

[Dennis Jansen]

*DENNIS detransforms*
*DENNIS used TRANSFORM, DENNIS transformed into GLACEON*
Glaceon-Dennis: I´ll fix a barrier Aphop!
*DENNIS used BARRIER on APHOP*

[Sir Sivelos]

Apoph: Much obliged... *Both APOPH and SIVELOS have regained their energy! SIVELOS's voice came back!*

Huzzah!

*SIVELOS uses THUNDERSTRUCK! While THUNDERSTRUCK plays in the background, a mass of storm clouds appear overhead, and with a flash of lightning, BAAL has been… Thunderstruck.*

*APOPH uses STONE BLADE ARTILLERY! APOPH slams his PLANET ON A STICK into the ground, causing several sharp slabs of stone to pop out of the ground due to the force. The stone blades hurl themselves at BAAL!*

[Dennis Jansen]

Glaceon-Dennis: Hm... Okay!

*DENNIS used BLIZZARD*
*THUNDER used THUNDER*

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS uses MULTITHRUST, a sword technique infamous for taking off literal chunks of enemy health. However, it might not in this context.*
