"Gaagh!" Hiryu groaned as he was knocked down, combined with the Twilight eating away at Another Blade's power. It was painful--incredibly so..It's as if he was getting poisoned! Snarling, he mustered his own strength in a vain attempted to get up, being met with a kick to the face as his form fizzled static wildly. Gritting his teeth, he grabbed Cobblepot's foot as he would kick his jaw once more, electric cousing through his body. "LIGHTNING!" Hiryu's eyes glowed, summoning a jolt of lightning at the villain's body right as Kassandra tossed her dagger, making it quite hard for the Penguin to move!

Whisper, now finding a good spot, aimed her Wispon and shot out everything she could. Wisps switching in and out as she let out a barrage of lasers, sawblades and rockets.
 
Rex wouldn’t find anything with goggle searching, Penguin calls him out on this wondering what he’s looking for. “Whatever it is, I bet it’s another one of your tricks.” But as Blake said, he has the powers of twilight, and would use them as demonstration killing two strangers in the process. He later tells them he’s planning to be overthrow Ganondorf and plan a revolution.


“That’s not starting a revolution. This is!”

Rex would go for basic slashes with the hits being a double downwards slash. Sora would follow up by running towards Penguin while throwing a couple Strike Raids. He would end his follow up with Ars Arcanum. A multi hitting thirteen attack with Sora swinging the keyblade as hard and fast as he can with the last hit being the strongest.

Ben nodded, clutching his aching body, before both Ruby and him were ready for action thanks to Arthur's efforts.

"Thanks for the assist, dude. Well, I know I'm gonna head back into the fray. You ready to rock, Ruby?"

He turns to the Penguin, before smacking his watch down. He transformed into a bulky creature...

"Gutrot! Eh... coulda been worse," the new form says as he turns to face Midna, "hey, uh... do me a solid, will ya? This Twilight stuff's pretty tough, but surely there's somethin' in the cosmos that can counter it, right? Could ya tell me what it is?"

Unfortunately, he had put up a wall to block the shockwave and once that was done, he sent the wall straight at her. There was no way she could get out of the way in time, even with her semblance, to be able to come out unscathed. But, she had to try.

Thankfully, two people came to save her, taking the hit from the wall and getting her out of the way: Kassandra and the boy with all the watches. "
Thanks." Readying her weapon, she switched to her pistol and once she saw her chance, she fired lightning dust ammo at Cobblepot, running at him before jumping over him, switching the ammo midair, and firing at him again, this time with fire dust ammo.

Upon landing behind him, she switched to katana and used both the sword and the sheath to do another flurry of attacks, aiming for the back, arms, and legs. If he attacked her, she'd use an afterimage to take the hit as she moved out of the way.

Before she could go try to save Blake from the wall that was made out of twilight and fired at her, Kassandra and someone else saved her. So now, she had to focus on Cobblepot. Blinking up to his left side, she began slashing at his left arm and leg before trying to go for his ear. After that, once Blake was done, she chose to use Charge, attacking from all angles, Blinking in and out to deal damage.
tumblr_no0khzMbGw1sj17hyo6_500 (1).gif
Upon finishing the move, she ended up on the right side of him, aiming to try to slash at his right ear before Blinking backwards to avoid any attacks dealt by him.

 
Arthur's rounds from his LeMat rifle were indeed enough to distract Cobblepot from beating up Hiryu, with the man turning around and facing him. "I remember you from that bloody Tesseract shit too..." Penguin snarled towards Morgan, before surrounding him with four large Twilight orbs. The four of them would quickly begin to enclose around Arthur, and if he didn't move in time, he'd be trapped in between them! Without checking to see if the attack worked or not, Cobblepot turned back around towards Hiryu. "Couldn't stand you then, neither!" He added on angrily, as Hiryu grabbed his leg. He stared down at the boy, preparing to kick him again, only for him to grab him by his ankle. Before he could react, a burst of lightning enveloped him, causing him to let out an agonizing scream as he was stunned in place for a moment. This allowed Kassandra to get her attacks in on Penguin, each one taking out a sizable chunk of the man's flesh, and it rapidly regenerating with Twilight moments later. By the time Kassandra's final attack was ready, half of Cobblepot's body was purely made of Twilight. Even half his face was gone, as well as the majority of his neck and back.

However, Penguin had managed to recover by the time her final, X-Shaped attack was launched towards him. And, with most of his body being made of Twilight, he flat out caught the dagger with both hands, wrapping his hands around the flat part of it. He smiled and tilted his head to the side a bit, before reeling his own head back and thrusting it forward against Kassandra's helmet. As his forehead struck the helmet, even if Kassandra wasn't injured, it would be strong enough to send her stumbling back at the very least, and possibly even cracking its glass as well. By that point, he saw Rex charging towards him, quickly rolling out of the way before he could strike him, countering said move with a quick Twilight blast to his side. Then, he managed to swat Sora's keyblade away with his arm after the first strike raid, and rose his arms to block every attack from his ars arcanum, before merely raising his leg and kicking Sora away in the middle of it.

Midna, who was still flipping through her magazine, barely tilted her head up to glance at Ben when he asked her what could counter Twilight. "The only known substances to counter Twilight are Kryptonite, the Infinity Stones, and the Triforce." With that, her head shifted back down as she continued reading her magazine. Cobblepot, meanwhile, took the brunt of the lightning with another loud scream, though he used a quick blast of Twilight to nullify the fire. When she attacked him more, Penguin countered each attack with a block, and when he finally had her in place, rose a hand for a quick burst of Twilight towards her chest. However, Ciri's attack managed to get him due to the sheer speed of her fastness, and when she sliced at his ear, he grunted in pain as it regrew in Twilight. Staring at her, Penguin threw more miniature Twilight spears her way.


(OOC: Keep the timestamp where it is)

In the midst of all this fighting, however, stood one Ruby Rose. She had just managed to chug down the healing tunic and let it have its effects on her burnt hand, before standing back up triumphantly. She was going to turn to Arthur to thank him, only to see the man surrounded by four giant orbs of Twilight... with almost no hope to escape. Ruby suddenly found herself gasping at the sight, tuning Ben out entirely as Arthur's current situation reminded her of one painful memory. One that, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't forget, because it was as much of a part of her now as her silver eyes were.

AggravatingHighAbyssiniangroundhornbill-size_restricted.gif


Pyrrha's death.

She remembered being on Beacon Tower that night during the fall.

She remembered desperately rushing to the top, even using her semblance to save her friend.

She remembered doing everything in her power to make sure she'd lived.

But just like with Penny, she failed.

And Pyrrha died.

And now here she was, seeing a man who had just saved her life, and Ben's, and a man who selflessly even saved Jacque's life despite all he'd done. A man who was drawing fire towards himself during this fight with Penguin, despite being outgunned. A man who was acting selflessly to protect the group, and the entire Multiverse, despite his powerset putting him leagues below everyone else. In Ruby's eyes, despite the fact she hadn't known him long enough, she could already see so much of Pyrrha's selfless spirit in Arthur. And, now, she had a chance to save him. Another chance to do what she couldn't do for Pyrrha.

giphy.gif


Without thinking, without even taking a second to hesitate or say anything, Ruby thrust forward in a flurry of rose petals. She rushed past Ben, Sora, Megumin, Lucky, Kassandra, and even Blake, her sights only focused on keeping this man from dying. As she rushed to him, her mind drifted to everything that had led her to this point. Everyone who had helped her get to where she was today.

"Ya did good, kiddo..."

aauR1Lkp_400x400.jpg


"I'm so proud of you, Ruby..."

bfc00f84e00555e2d9cd824325e7c2eb8e7bd73a.png


"And don't you ever forget that..."

tenor.gif


Her last conscious thought focused on her mother. How proud she would be to see her now. How much she wished she was here. How much she hoped to see her on the other side...

And, just like that, the human sized rose petal collided into Arthur's side, pushing the outlaw out of the way of the four Twilight spheres. The last thing anyone saw for the next few moments were those spheres colliding around Ruby, encompassing her in pure darkness. There were no screams of pain, no whimpers, not even the smallest whine from her, though. All that anyone saw were those four orbs surrounding Ruby Rose entirely, fully smothering her in darkness as they collided with each other. A small explosion of Twilight resulted, knocking you all off your feet and onto the floor.

And, as you recovered, in the place of Arthur stood a horribly burned Ruby Rose, scorched with third degree burns from nearly head to toe. And the last thing she did was smile at all of you, thankful tears in her eyes, before she collapsed onto the floor.

Lilith was about to preform her next attack a there was an explosion that completely engulfed Ruby and it left her burned all over her body. "Jesus Christ what happened to you!?" Lilith exclaimed with fear in her voice. She rushed over to her body lying down on the floor and tried to think of something she could do to help her in any way, as Lilith was contemplating on what to do she quickly remembered that she can heal wounds using her spirit magic, although she wasn't sure she could be able to heal third degree burns but she decided to give it a shot anyway. She takes a deep breath and gives it her all

"I highly doubt this will work but let's hope it does."


But despite her best efforts it didn’t work, Lilith stood over her body looking like all the life was sucked out of her and she would soon sit next to the wall with a saddened expression on her face.

“I‘m sorry.”

It was then that rose petals flew by her, Blake knowing them all too well to be Ruby's petals, and she looked to see where she was going. And her eyes widened when she saw where she went. Arthur had been standing in the middle of the four twilight orbs with almost no hope of escaping and Ruby went there to...

No...

"
Ruby, stop!" But her cry wasn't heard by her team leader as she pushed Arthur out of the way and took the attack. Just then, a small explosion happened from the attack, Blake and the others falling on the floor from the explosion. Getting up, she looked at Ruby and saw the state she was in before giving a smile and falling to the ground.

Not her...

Not Ruby...


Tears fell from her eyes as she quickly got up and ran to her friend. "
RUBY!" Once she got there, she kneeled down next to her, crying. This wasn't suppose to happen... especially to Ruby. She couldn't lose someone else to this!

And yet... it was happening...

"
Ruby... Ruby, please... you have to get up..."

Ciri got hits in, which was good for about five seconds before they started regenerating, this time replaced with twilight. He then sent spears at her and she tried to roll out of the way and it worked. Right up until one of the spears basically cut the side of her leg, making her roll collapse at the end.

It hurt like a bitch for sure, but she was fine. Getting up, she saw the last few moments being Ruby pushing Arthur out of the way of four twilight orbs and Blake yelling at her to stop. The attack caused an explosion, sending them all to the ground.

Once she got back up, she saw Ruby standing there with horrible burns all over and fell to the ground after giving them all a smile. Ciri's eyes widening, she ran over as a crying Blake did as well, and kneeled down to the girl. "
Ruby!" Part of her flashed back to the attack the Wild Hunt did a Kaer Mohren, when... he...

Tears started to fall from her eyes. Ruby had been such a good person to Blake and to everyone so far, and she was still young too. Well, slightly younger than Ciri anyways, but still young. And yet, she was willing to sacrifice herself...

Gutrot's eyes were wide open.

"Ruby..."

He knelt towards her.

"Come on Ruby, wake up! We haven't done our reunion band gig! We haven't gathered the other guys yet!"

A droplet fell down from his eyes.

"A base of hydrogen monoxide, mucin, various lipids, lysozymes, lactoferrin, and others... in other words, not tears, not tears at all..."

An angered expression formed as he looked towards Cobblepot.

"Kryptonite, huh?"

From every orifice of his body and his gut-compartment, a green gas emerged, for every large amount of each green gas, a little bit of Twilight was neutralized.

Supergirl might be feeling weak from its presence, but Gutrot wasn't paying attention.

The green gas that surrounded Gutrot as he stepped forward, each step heavier than the last, the precipitated powders that coated his shoulders, it could be intepreted in another way.

Rage, anguish, loss.

"Hey Penguin, ya big bird, do me a solid, will ya?"

As the greenish gas continued to pour out the walking chemical laboratory of an alien, his big, gripping palms encircled Penguin's neck. Whatever physical body Penguin had left was having its life sucked away by the grip, while the part of the body that was replaced by Twilight was reacting to the green gaseous clouds of pure anguish emitting from the alien. These gases were getting more concentrated and more potent. They were ready to become solids from their sheer density.

OST: Great Demon

Hiryu kept electrocuting Penguin the best he could, all until the sudden burst of Twilight caused him and his fellow MPF volunteers to be knocked away from Penguin and the others, causing Hiryu to detransform with the Anotherwatch on the floor, its face cracking and sparking, soon exploding, reverting into a black, Blank Ridewatch. He got up, crouched, and saw what happened in the distance.

Ruby Rose, collapsed. The look on her eyes followed by a hollow, ghastly smile. A smile that reeks of death. Growling, snarling, Hiryu gets up, glaring at Penguin who caused this mess.

Once again, he failed. He failed to take his revenge. This revenge was supposed to be for Ruby--this revenge was supposed to make her live! But no...Oh hoh, no.

He just HAD to do it to him.

Taking out the main Anotherwatch he uses, glowing green. Activating the Anotherwatch, his body is engulfed in a green mass of darkness with gold rings spinning around him, transforming him into Another Zi-O II, eyes completely green as opposed to its usual white.

ZI-O! TWO!

"
COBBLEPOOOOT!!!" With a ferocious roar, Hiryu summons all 17 of his Another Riders, surroinding Penguin in a circle, swarming him as they all throw their attacks at him, not bothering to use any fancy moves except for elementally charged attacks as well as weaponry. Hiryu joined the dogpile of Another Riders, swinging his blades at the Penguin as his Another Riders gang up at him, making sure that Cobblepot never recovers.
 
Akari "Paladin" Kishiri

Akari followed Ant-Man and the others up the ladder into Atlas Academy, and when he reached the top, he couldn't help but notice...

Everything was dead silent.
Robot parts lay everywhere, and there seemed to be nothing around save a pervading feeling of dread. Akari kept his guard up as he made his way with everyone to Cobblepot's office.

Soon enough, there was the man himself, sitting at his desk, seemingly expecting everyone to have come in the most nonchalant way possible. Something seemed... off about this.


Then, Akari found out just what it was.

Cobblepot had Twilight powers.


"So, you've succumbed to the powers of Twilight. Very well..."

Akari brandished his sword.

"...we shall rend that darkness asunder."



The battle was a fierce one. Despite everyone's best efforts, he was proving to be a challenging adversary indeed. However, when Cobblepot summoned four large spheres of Twilight, Ruby suddenly shot forward and seemingly sacrificed herself. Akari was knocked over as the Twilight explosion hit him, but when the darkness from around Ruby cleared, he saw that she was very badly injured, and had eventually collapsed. Others in the group seemed to be incredibly furious at this, and when they began striking at Cobblepot with unparalleled rage, Akari provided heal support. He summoned Kronos, and cast Salvation on everyone who was engaged in the battle. Soothing energy would wash over those who were affected by it, healing their injuries and curing any status ailments they might have been afflicted with.

Dodging to the right in order to escape the attack from the twlight spear, he didn’t realize how quickly the battle went while he tried to get back up. It was not until Ruby used herself to protect Arthur and push him out of the way of an attack, making another explosion that pushed them back. Quickly getting back this time..... he regretted looking at Ruby for she was very heavily burned, to which, a small fire began to burn in his head. It was one full of anger, and guilt, slowly and increasing much more in size, the guilt of killing innocents in the past, two teammate dying, and Ruby almost burned to a crisp. The anger was for wanting to seek revenge for them, for that’s what he did.

Joining in the final assault, his eyes glowing more red each second, he yelled out loud
“How about you do something for humanity and say hello to the devil for me.” as he got close enough to deal his own attack, which was a flurry of punches that can only be explained with this video:

He said nothing else as he punched, letting his actions speak for him, for he had already said enough. Now..... the only thing he wanted was the head of this Cobblepot.

Sir Benedict Cucumberpatch
Ah.....seems like casualties were starting to happen, indeed.

Benedict would say as he stepped up to him after slashing his gun in half.
Benedict would slowly approach before standing there, staring at him.
You may have outsmarted me in the field of......combat....but.....you can’t beat me in the field of......dance.
All of a sudden, Benedicts heels would click, revealing hidden taps underneath the soles of his dapper business shoes.
Time to......die.
*tap tap tappity tap tap tappity tap tap tap tap tap*
Benedict would begin to tap dance ruthlessly before pulling out several grenades, tossing them at cobblepots feet.
Meanwhile, as Benedict tapped, leaped, and soared.....Josh would be standing nearby, scoring him on his wondrous efforts

For once, Sage thought that he was prepared... He thought that he had learned with his past mistakes, he thought that whichever got thrown at them, he'd be able to handle as himself...

The Universe knew different.
The Universe saw an opportunity for a test of faith, and the pyromancer failed it harder than everything else come previously.

Before his concern about Lealan could have been answered to, the villain had gotten up from his seat... Walking around, eyeing them as if sheep lined up for the slaughter, as if choosing which of them to torment first. Like toys about to be broken. Knowing what he did and seeing the way Penguin acted, this was an action that filled up Sage with nothing but dread as he took a step back in apprehension. This felt like the presage for something absolutely terrible...

Oh, he wished from the bottom of his heart to be wrong. But he was not.

Before anyone could as much as move, spots by the wall would shoot out in a vile purple impaling two of their members in cold blood. Summed to the shock of witnessing another use of constructs, was the first stroke of Death. One of them had completely shattered with no body to account for and only the shards of what looked like a gemstone and somehow, SOMEHOW, that just made it even WORSE. At first, there was just silent processing, a strained gasp, the sheer disbelief of the brutality that had just occurred before his eyes. Then tears would rise, pooling up in the corner of his fiery gaze...

The volatile combo of fear and anger would start to boil.

When Benedict's gun had snapped, the sound of it was like a slap back into reality. With the sudden impact of a truck, emotions ragging, contradictory and powerful had come back in one go, immediately setting fire to every paper, plant or similars around the office. The pyromancer had his head low, a gloomy expression, the shadow of his hair casting over his eyes, as he both cried quietly and shook with pent up fury and frustration. The temperature rose quickly, past the functioning oven straight into sauna territory, the fire aura burning just as wild as his emotions, the ever-present silhouette of the wings having the most chaotic ones peeking out.

Even as the others engaged, Sage could only stay there, nurturing a hatred stronger than anything he had ever felt, caught on the dilemma of hold it in or let it all go free. It was such a negative, heavy emotion that he wasn't sure what to do with it.

And in a little moment of clarity, his first usage of it had been protective rather than offensive.

Extending an arm beside him, a spot in the ground would glow orange, and as the pyromancer had brought it up, the fire chain would come to life. He gestured it towards Leo and the construct would wrap around the other's leg, proceeding to throw him outside of the office room as quickly and nicely as possible. The temperature would be lukewarm, like the heat of a laptop, this was an action made out of kindness and concern after all. Leo would be tossed back into the corridor and if he tried coming back inside he'd see his progress suddenly blocked by a fire wall taking the space the door normally occupied, part of it already tinting itself blue.

"Please, just... Stay there where it's safe...", even if he had his back turned it was more than clear from his tone alone that he had been crying, each new syllable shaky as if he was about to crumble, "Gods I- I don't know what I would do if I lost you, neither do I want you to see this. So please..."

The fire wall would dissipate for a moment, only for the actual door to close separating them physically, a little cylinder of flames pushing it from the wall it once stood against. It was better this way, was what he thought to himself, still shaking as anger threatened to overflow. He didn't want to... Act on the thoughts that plagued his mind right now, feelings of retaliation; To harm, to burn, to kill.
It was, a person! A vile, cruel, evil creature without empathy, but still... a person. Under the influence or something or not IT WAS MORALLY WRONG TO KILL. LIFE WAS PRECIOUS AND TO BE CHERISHED AND STILL-

H-how could he...? HOW DARED HE.

Alexis stepped up, everything else seemed to spin and blend together, but the Kitsune's actions proportioned some focus to Sage's turbulent mind, like a beacon. He saw her attempt a barrage of shots with impressive frequency, like a machine gun of fluff and flames. And yet, each shot was not only blocked by a shield but bounced back towards her! With a desperate gasp, the Descendant reached his hand pointed at the incoming fire and concentrated to take control of it, stopping their trajectory for a moment before he swipped a hand in the air to will all fire gone. The woman's rebounding flames would be dismantled and fade in the air much alike his constructs did.

Even doing just this seemed to raise the magic output to dangerous levels, and then, it seemed to rise even more. Magical Detection would accuse something new, that seemed to spike momentarily and then quell again. He turned towards where it was coming from, only to see Shujinko attack with flames too! But, it didn't make sense... The pyromancer hadn't felt any kind of Magic from her when they met, yet now she was using it as- Oh. OH NO. The other was somehow channelling the Concept from him at the same time he was channelling it himself...
Is that what was causing it to strain this badly so soon?!

"S-SHUJINKO! WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING, PLEASE STOP IT! YOU'RE GOING TO-"

And then Ruby intercepted the attack of Twilight heading for a cowboy, his eyes briefly widening as an explosion ensued...

Before his mind could even process what had just happened, he had forced himself back up. Or was in the process of doing so, when the sight of the burnt Ruby caught his attention, bringing him to a halt. NO, nononnonononononononono, please don't! She smiled at them. The same cheerful demeanor she had when they had met, that carefree attitude that had prompted him to want to interact with her more...
A wish that now might never see the light of day.

When Ruby collapsed something inside Sage just seemed to break too.

"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrgh!!!"

Releasing something between a despaired scream and a beast's roar, the room was filled with ragging furious flames that threatened to consume everything in a bright glowing orange and blue hunger for revenge. Sage had felt many things in life, regret, hopelessness, terror... But if there was one thing that he had never given himself up to, if there was one emotion that he had never allowed himself to dwell in was TRUE DESTRUCTIVE R A G E, until this very moment.

"I will end you...", even this low his voice dripped with heavy fury, each syllable firm as if wanting to embed themselves in the very air, "I WILL END YOU, EVERYTHING YOU LOVE AND EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER TOUCHED!!!! I WILL BURN YOUR EXISTENCE SO HARD THAT THERE WILL BE NOTHING LEFT OF YOU FOR THE DEITIES TO EVALUATE!! I WILL CHAR YOUR VERY NAME OUT OF HISTORY AND I'LL ERASE YOUR EVIL SO STRONGLY THAT NO ONE WILL EVER REMEMBER OF YOUR VILE MURDEROUS LIFE YOU FIEND!!!!"

Putting a leg forwards, Sage had swiped it in a half-moon in front of him almost like a kick, mimicking the same motion with both his arms. A fire-shockwave would erupt from the ground like a deadly fire-blade that rose above surface, two more formed on the path of his arms, the three of them ragging furiously towards Cobblepot's location. As the soon as they were travelling in the air, he'd point his palms down, using the flamethrowers as propulsion jets to get height, then kick against the wall to launch himself out of it. The wing constructs came to life, extended backwards allowing him to both stabilize the trajectory and cut through the air like a bullet.

It would most likely be a throwback to when the Entity had shown up during the second Toga fight to those that had watched it happen.

With his very arm lighting up in flames he'd come, just behind the fire blades with the intent to punch the enemy right in the face with it. The pyromancer was still there, though judging by the more than half-eaten orange flames transitioning into blue it was obvious that it wouldn't last long. Instead of the usual light-hearted banter, all that rung in the air as he cut through it was a fury-filled battle cry.

  • This was awful. Cobblepot could curbstomp all of them. The worst part? Explosion would have solved this in two seconds! Now Megumin knew exactly what kind of stress Aqua was under, seeing chaos unfold but being unable to do anything. No, that didn't change when Arthur burst her bubble and dumped explosives on her. She was still stuck with weapons she didn't know how to use. "'Hammer, trigger, rinse and repeat. Same thing as the Dynamite, don't go shooting our team!'" Hammer?! This wasn't a hammer! What did any of that mean?! With no experience in anything happening to her, all she could do was stand there, her lip quivering, right before there was a Twilight explosion sending her on her back! At first, she was content to just keep laying there, but then she heard a final breath escaping, and people calling for Ruby in an unmistakable flavor of anguish.

    Ruby!

    That bastard...took Ruby's life. Not even a peaceful death. He condemned her to a slow, agonizing death by Twilight burns. Just to prove some strength.

    Within Megumin's stomach, she felt a rock being moved by tons of pressure, pressure brought on by scalding water. As it traveled to her heart, the water turned to lava, igniting a fire that quickly spread to all four chambers. She rose to her feet, her teeth tightly clenched. "I don't care if I die doing this. I WILL NOT BE ON THE WAYSIDE ANYMORE!" She let loose with the LeMat, firing off the explosive rounds with pure concentration. She felt a large part of her brain shutting down as she attacked, bringing on the tiniest twinge of confusion. What she didn't know was that, in Blood Gulch, she lost her spell, but gained a new ally. Just like Lucky and Lupe, a new animal was created in her subconscious, and it had been feeding off all the anger and resentment she'd developed in her lifetime, waiting patiently for this moment. In this moment, she was Sarge, or at least the Red Team recruit he wanted her to be. It commanded her silently, pointing her to every means of attack she had.

Rex and Sora’s attacks failed to do much when fighting a guy fused with pure twilight. But in a turn of unexpected events, Ruby sacrifices herself for Arthur; a small explosion occurs but when it was over, they all see one crisp Ruby.

Sora is enraged by seeing an innocent person die by someone so selfish and transforms into Valor Form, boosting his attack power and starts slashing at Penguin like crazy. While this is going on, Rex would be even more furious by this, not at Penguin, but at Midna who despite having access to twilight herself, isn’t helping out in the slightest and in doing so, lead to Ruby’s death.

“THAT’S IT!” Rex screamed while slamming his Smackhands down before slowly turning to Midna. “What is your damage! We are fighting a guy who has what you have, we’re out here risking our lives for the whole multiverse, and remember has your sorry excuse for a kingdom where you get to laz around all day. And now a little girl killed herself trying to save someone! When are you gonna learn to take this seriously, get off your lazy butt and HELP US. TRY TO GIVE A DAMN!”

I mean...It kinda did awhile ago but DAAAAA-NNGGGG! Oh my space lord...." Captain Falcon approaches Ruby's body. He kneels down next to her body and puts a gentle hand on her head "I may not have known you much at all. But I know guts when I see it and behind all that adorableness...And slightly grating voice, you had plenty. Sleep in peace, Rose Girl...For the hunt is over... As the last petal falls, so does the snow. And we'll all go home free...But with heavy hearts...GOBBLECROTCH! You better pray that dark magic is fireproof cause we're bringing the heat!" Falcon sprints towards Cobblepot before jumping in the air "FALCON KICK!" Falcon juts his foot down at Copplebot in a blaze of fire.

Orbeck of Vinheim
status: Cobblepot, grief, and a jade that feeds at it all.
Condition: Under pressure (received stem injecter from Lealan, it will not be used in vain.)
Midna, who was still flipping through her magazine, barely tilted her head up to glance at Ben when he asked her what could counter Twilight. "The only known substances to counter Twilight are Kryptonite, the Infinity Stones, and the Triforce." With that, her head shifted back down as she continued reading her magazine.
Given the intensity of the current situation, he certainly didn't appreciate her just slacking about during this heated confrontation. It was only because of the others that he wasn't targeted by Cobblepot.
"Midna, I'm aware that this isn't an ideal situation, but I require your assistance in removing yet another jade from one of our allies." Before she could reply, Orbeck started to drag her along as everyone else was dealing with Cobblepot. The sooner they can deal with Lealan and that jade, the sooner she can assist in the fight...of course fate as other things in store for them all.
nd, just like that, the human sized rose petal collided into Arthur's side, pushing the outlaw out of the way of the four Twilight spheres. The last thing anyone saw for the next few moments were those spheres colliding around Ruby, encompassing her in pure darkness. There were no screams of pain, no whimpers, not even the smallest whine from her, though. All that anyone saw were those four orbs surrounding Ruby Rose entirely, fully smothering her in darkness as they collided with each other. A small explosion of Twilight resulted, knocking you all off your feet and onto the floor.

And, as you recovered, in the place of Arthur stood a horribly burned Ruby Rose, scorched with third degree burns from nearly head to toe. And the last thing she did was smile at all of you, thankful tears in her eyes, before she collapsed onto the floor.
One is a second death, one Ruby Rose, Killed by the cascading amount of twilight that she was willing to endure for another. Even at the back of the conflict, Orbeck still toppled over from the shockwave. when he got himself up to spot the now dead body of Ruby, he was met with the second obstacle...

Before his mind could even process what had just happened, he had forced himself back up. Or was in the process of doing so, when the sight of the burnt Ruby caught his attention, bringing him to a halt. NO, nononnonononononononono, please don't! She smiled at them. The same cheerful demeanor she had when they had met, that carefree attitude that had prompted him to want to interact with her more...
A wish that now might never see the light of day.

When Ruby collapsed something inside Sage just seemed to break too.

"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrgh!!!"
Releasing something between a despaired scream and a beast's roar, the room was filled with ragging furious flames that threatened to consume everything in a bright glowing orange and blue hunger for revenge. Sage had felt many things in life, regret, hopelessness, terror... But if there was one thing that he had never given himself up to, if there was one emotion that he had never allowed himself to dwell in was TRUE DESTRUCTIVE R A G E, until this very moment.

An enraged sage. seething with the temptation to kill the man responsible for this loss of life. There was already enough going on as it is, but the threat of yet another appearance by that unknown being will surely ruin their chances of ending this conflict. as it happened during their fight with Toga.
With his very arm lighting up in flames he'd come, just behind the fire blades with the intent to punch the enemy right in the face with it. The pyromancer was still there, though judging by the more than half-eaten orange flames transitioning into blue it was obvious that it wouldn't last long. Instead of the usual light-hearted banter, all that rung in the air as he cut through it was a fury-filled battle cry.
As sage proceeds to spew orange and blue flames allover, Orbeck turns to Midna. pointing out the currently comatose body of Lealan. "Lealan ended up consuming a shard of that dreaded jade, See to it that it's removed, I'll deal with sage's...grief."
So he ran pass bombardment of attacks, Twilight or otherwise. Pass those griefing over Ruby's death, past those enacting vengeance, and past those that would rather act like fools *ahem* Benedict* Ahem*.
Given that sage is currently attacking Cobblepot, he will need to knock him out, what would be the best way to do that? hidden under the chaos that is going on. Orbeck proceeds to cast a spell, Great heavy soul arrow. Comparable to the small chunk of sorcery that was casted back at Gravity falls, it possessed a larger amount of power but is also slower. Ideally, it would be done as Sage is distracted with his own boiling troubles. If sage were to look back at the man who dares get in his way, he would find Orbeck, looking at him with a pleading face.

Lucky calmly wandered around Sage's flames, meeting Midna on top of the desk. He'd decided. He didn't need to do anything anymore; That dumbass Cobblepot had sealed his own fate. "That man, huh?" He joked, somewhat bitterly. "I mean, come on, who kills a friend of the goddamn multiverse cops and expects to come out alive? If only we were able to get some popcorn cookin'." But someone should probably do something for poor Ruby...While everyone else was finishing the job with Cobblepot, why not treat the fallen soul to some old Scottish/Celtic funeral customs? "The water probably works around here..."

He would simply trot out of the room, stop to roll on his back to put out the fire he'd caught on his back and tail, then return with a tub of water and a washcloth. With this, he simply gently washed Ruby's body, humming some Scottish funeral tunes. "I'm not worried, Lassie, you're definitely being avenged. Lemme see if I can open a window, so your spirit can leave when we're done."
 
Those of you who tried to heal Ruby would find the task nigh impossible. Every time a spell would cast on her, it seemed as if it was going to work for a moment, before the surplus of Twilight spread across her body made it crack and shatter, before bursting into dust.

"This is what happens when you fuck with the King of Atlas!" Penguin snarled from the side. "I'm the one who you should fear! Me!" He screamed, spit flying out of his mouth as he spoke. Ruby's personal friends and family present all had varying reactions to her injury.

Weiss immediately ran over to her friend and grabbed her by the arm, shaking her as tears flowed from her eyes like a waterfall. "Ruby... come on you dolt!" She shouted through sniffles and sobs, barely even able to choke out any words as her sobs did most of the speaking for her. She hunched over her friend and let out another sob, placing her forehead down onto her scorched shoulder. "Ruby... please.... don't do this....." Was all the former Schnee Heiress could manage, before breaking down completely in a loud fit of tears.

Yang and Qrow, the two who had both sworn to protect Ruby since she was a child no matter what, the two who promised her that nothing would ever happen to her, that they would always have her back, could only watch in a state of complete shock as Ruby fell to the ground. There were no words, no screams, absolutely nothing as their mouths both hung agape. They were completely desensitized from reality at that moment, everything around them falling completely deaf to their ears. And then, Penguin made the bold move of not only causing Ruby to get killed, but insulting her on top of it.

That was the last straw for Yang Xiao Long and Qrow Branwen.



"I'LL KILL YOU!!''

There was no holding back for either of them anymore. Yang immediately smacked her fists together, the knuckles on her one remaining arm literally cracking as they connected, and her hair shot up in a scorching hot inferno that burned as hot as the sun's surface. Qrow tightly gripped onto his scythe and grit his teeth. The two wasted absolutely no time in charging Cobblepot from both sides.

Yang was the first to try and strike Cobblepot. She threw her fists down beside her, and when she did so, the entire room behind her was covered in scorching hot flames that rivaled Sage's and Alexis'. She then rushed forward, charging in for a flaming right hook right at the man's face. Penguin easily avoided the attack with a quick sidestep, though, which resulted in Yang throwing another punch at his left cheek with her other arm, using the bullets in her gauntlet to give herself extra momentum. His reflexes were still too fast, though, and he caught her arm with no issue at all, before headbutting her and kicking her away. His slight gloating was interrupted, though, by the feeling of the tendrils wrapping around his neck. He was about to easily cut them away with a spear of Twilight, but then Ben started to fill him with the one thing he didn't expect him to have.

And that thing was Kryptonite.

He screamed in pain as the Kryptonite filled his body, slowly causing the Twilight to diminish from around him. "N-no...!" He screamed, wincing in pain as he felt the effects of the Twilight slowly leave his body, returning to normal at a rapid pace. As a last ditch effort and with little time left, Penguin held up a palm and used the last bit of his Twilight energy to blast Ben directly in the chest with it. No matter the damage it did, Ben would have had to let go, and once he did, Penguin fell to a knee, gasping for air as the Twilight began to slowly regenerate around his body. During this time, all 17 Another Riders managed to dogpile him at once with all their best attacks. He disappeared in the fray of attacks, unseen from everyone for the next long moments. And then, a scream was heard from the epicenter of attacks, followed by a large blast of Twilight that shout out from its center. The blast more than likely defeated all 17 Riders in an instant, as well as maybe even caused Hiryu some damage as well. What emerged was a beast who was more animal than man.

What little humanity that was left in Oswald Cobblepot was now gone, and replaced by Twilight. His skin was jet black with light blue veins extending across his body. His eyes were still completely black, though now, his entire outfit was as well. Except for his tie, which was a light blue, as well as his hair and beard. "I'm going to murder... every last one of you..." He hissed, his voice now filled with demonic taint. It sounded like he had two voices, with one being his regular voice, and the other sounding as if it had been shifted around in pitch so much that it was the voice of Satan himself. As Penguin recovered, Qrow made his attack, screaming loudly as he charged at him with his scythe. Penguin didn't even look his way as he caught the handle of his scythe, snapping it in half with his grip alone. As the scythe fell to the ground, Qrow stared at it for a moment in shock, before looking back up at Penguin again, his expression soon returning to unparalleled anger.

giphy.gif


Qrow screamed without thought and charged forward with nothing but his fists, tears in his eyes as he attempted to land just one hit on Penguin. The Twilight-fueled monster didn't even flinch, instead sidestepping again like he had done with Yang, and then holding a hand out to deliver another repulsor blast of Twilight from his hand, this time towards Qrow's back. The blast wasn't strong enough to kill Qrow, but the force alone sent him flying across the room and crashing into the wall, where he fell to his front soon after.



The flurry of punches towards Penguin that Benrey followed up with did nothing to him, the man not even noticing them as the Twilight acted as a forcefield around his body, one which absorbed every punch like a sponge. By the time he finished the barrage, Penguin merely turned his head to the side and fired a beam of Twilight directly towards Benrey's shoulder, no words spoken as he did so. The grenades that exploded around him were absorbed by his Twilight as well, only acting really to make his stage presence all the more apparent as he slowly continued walking forward towards none other than Blake, who was crying over Ruby's body.

Sage's shockwave of fire struck Penguin as he continued his slow march, to be sure, but he didn't even notice it when it struck him. Instead, he merely continued walking forward as it hit him in the legs, the flames dissipating across his body like he was made of pure water. Then, when Sage himself rushed towards Penguin, he merely rose his hand and caught him by the neck. He didn't take any time to relish in it at all, instead reeling his other arm back for a swift punch towards Sage's face, sending him back to the ground as he continued his march forward. The stab in towards his back wasn't even met with Penguin turning around. Instead, all he did was allow a spider-like claw to emerge from his shoulder, made purely of Twilight. It stabbed at Lars with the intention of impaling him through the stomach, or at the very least knocking him back.

Much like everything beforehand, the explosions from Megumin's new weapon merely bounced off of Penguin's side like rubber balls, with the flames from the explosions themselves merely bouncing dispersing across his body as he continued his trek forward. Without even looking, he rose a hand and fired an orb of Twilight towards Megumin. Lucky's words fell deaf on him in the meantime, the man not even responding as he instead only focused on reaching Blake. Cobblepot only backhanded Sora as he attacked him next, sending him flying similar to Qrow.

"What do you expect me to do!?" Midna shouted to Rex, furrowing her brows. "All I can do is use my Twilight, and if you haven't noticed, he's already GOT Twilight. if I were to use Twilight on him, it would only add to his power." With that, Midna huffed and returned to reading her magazine. She then rolled her eyes and huffed again when Orbeck requested that she remove Lealan's jade, which apparently she had now. "Ugh.... why does everyone have those stupid things anyways!?" She complained as she floated over to Lealan and searched for the jade. Whenever she found it, she quickly got to work on destroying it with Twilight.

During Midna's rant, Penguin had caught Falcon's flaming leg with ease and tossed him out of the way with ease, sending him flying in the same general direction as Sora. And then, finally he reached the crying Blake. Weiss noticed him and shouted a quick, "NO!" As she stood up from her crying near Ruby and charged towards him, but all Penguin did was swat her with he back of his hand, sending her into the air.

"I told you..." Penguin said as he grabbed Blake up by her hair, yanking her head back. He grit his teeth as he held onto her hair, giving it an extra tug to reaffirm his control. He turned her to face everyone he'd taken care of in the room. Qrow, Yang, Weiss, Sora, Captain Falcon, and of course Ruby. He opened his mouth again, speaking in a low whisper that only she could hear, one that was filled with as much hatred, spite, and malice as he could possibly muster. Both of his voices spoke in this tone, like they were one unit.

"I would take away everything you loved..."

Lucky bowed his head towards Weiss. "I would've felt a pulse by now, if there were a chance. I'm sorry, Lassies." Yet his eyes retained their courageous glow. "But I know you're gonna win. Cobblepot has sealed his own fate. I'll keep the body protected in the meantime. And, if you'd like..." He pushed the box a little towards the remaining RWBY members. "...I think Barrijade will be able to give you the extra boost you might need. Legitimately. It'll keep you from holdin' back."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"


That was Megumin's scream, coming from her attacks backfiring spectacularly. Not only did she get plugged with her own ricocheting bullets, in the time it took her to stand up to the pain, the Twilight hit her. Now she was rolling on the floor, clutching her waist, reaching for her Spartan Laser. Her breaths shortened, but the monster inside still fought to keep her going. "Ah...Ah...I may be dying, but..." She pointed the targeting laser at him. "...I'm taking you with me!"

"...I think I'm going to need more water..." Lucky gulped, watching the pile of defeated friends grow larger. "Hey, Ben! Hand me some of that Kryptonite!"

Despite all odds, Lucky would actually find a small, faint pulse in Ruby. It was very, very faint, barely existent... but it was there. Also, Jason kicked the box of jade away before Weiss or Blake could even ask what it was, making sure it fell out the window.

"No."

Megumin's laser towards Penguin would merely be absorbed into the Twilight, just as all the other attacks had been.

--Hiryu Kakogawa || Whisper The Wolf--
Interaction: thatguyinthestore thatguyinthestore Crow Crow

As the Another Riders fizzled in static and disappeared, Hiryu was knocked back onto the window, clutching his liver as he winced. Fizzling in static the same effect when he faced against Penguin using Another Blade. He can't afford to lose this one--it's his most useful form! Snarling he attempted to stand up, attempting to see the future once more as he staggered, struggling to stay up due to everything he had to endure. Including getting hit with the Multiverse's single most dangerous substance.

"I'm...I'm not done yet!" Hiryu growled, summoning five more Another Riders.

FOURZE! BUILD! EX-AID! GHOST! DOUBLE!

These five Another Riders attempted to strike Cobblepot's Twilight form, doing everything in their power to keep him...No, it distracted. Hiryu DESPERATELY needs to see a sign, any sign of weakness before he charges in..Otherwise, he'll suffer the loss of his best Anotherwatch yet.

Whisper, now fully conscious again, approached Ben from behind, tapping his back.

"Can you make some more of those crystals?" Whisper asked, seeing what the Kryptonite did to Oenguin

Upon seeing his beloved spell being discarded, Lucky whipped around to bristle at Jason. "Oh, COME ON! Do you have ANY idea how much shit I had to go through to get that thing?! I'm TRYING to FUCKIN-Hey, wait a minute..." His stump felt the tiniest heatbeat, which he confirmed when he pressed his ear against Ruby's chest. "Holy shit, there's still a chance!...Stay with us, Lassie!" He began to perform chest compressions. "This is why we wash the body before we bury it!"

Megumin, meanwhile, lost her energy. She collapsed, her dress stained with blood. She was beginning to see the light trickling in through the window, and tensed. "I don't want to die, not like this...I'm scared..."
