Chronology: Ultimate

[BoltBeam]

Agent 3

Scarecrow had held up his arm to block Agent Penguin's flames, though as a drawback, a bit of his sleeve caught fire. However, he didn't seem to mind, as he instead slammed his fist down onto the penguin! The small bursts of energy from Benrey's rifle were enough to catch the doctor off guard, though, which allowed Gretar to strike him directly in the forehead with his hammer! The attack earned a loud grunt from Scarecrow as his monstrous form was sent falling back, which allowed Agent 3's ink bomb to strike him directly in the eyes! The ink stung him, causing him to yell out in pain and blindly swing his arms in an attempt to hit someone, threatening to hit Snake, Agent 3, Whisper, Megumin, and Benrey in the process!

Agent 3 noticing the flailing of Scarecrow as the ink began to blind him - severely so, at that. Then, when he would swing his arms around in question, the Inkling would find herself in danger of possibly being hit. She proceeded to fire a shot of ink under her feet and turn into squid form to dodge this, thus being invisible and not being able to be hit unless he slammed directly onto the ground - or in this case, on the puddle itself. When the attack passed, she re-emerged and as she began to think of a plot, she suddenly stopped when this surge of energy met her being.

"Balance...Break."

What almost sounded like a loud screeching noise was heard, as the universe almost seemed to shift for a second. For a second, all was a sea of colors and thin lines- before all stabilized itself, the ones affected by Kyou's Balance Breaker...Could feel something stronger within themselves. Like they could run faster than they ever could. Like they could lift impossible weights. Take hits they wouldn't survive, and face against the greatest of mental threats to themselves...

BALANCES BROKEN:

MI / ND

STREN / GTH

ENDU / RANCE

SPE / ED

...Like they could do the impossible.

"What... is this...?" She said in a surprise, positive tone as she just tried to get a grip on herself and how she felt... It was like nothing else she had really felt, but whatever it was, she felt... almost euphoric, in a way - at the top of the world. With this energy giving her newfound confidence as it took effect, she laughed boldly and loudly before suddenly speeding towards Scarecrow, and within moments, thanks to the enhanced speed, it would seem like a path of ink 'appeared' gradually on his arm, and then that same path was used to climb up said arm. When Agent 3 was at the top of Scarecrow's shoulder (should she succeed in her climb), she would have a point-blank view of his eyes, and to which she smiled and aimed her gun directly into one of them - and opened fire before alternating to the other, and repeating the process. "Good luck seeing through this!" She said loudly as laughter followed. She would pour her entire remaining contents of her ink tank into flooding Scarecrow's two eyes with roughly half of that amount each, but either way, she felt incredible! Though, maybe that laughter is both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on perspective... With her tank emptied, Agent 3 would then proceed to leap off of Scarecrow's shoulder, and land in the front lines, out in the open - with little to no ink in her tank while it slowly and naturally fills.

"Calm down, you're under the Fear Toxin--it's what the Wolf girl was seeing the entire time." Hiryu's shabby attempt at comforting. "Except you see fragments of your past. Like your feet, which you actually lost alongside your family. I don't know the deal with the fox girl since you never really told me about that." He admitted, trying to kick the knife and the gun away from the rabbit. "Look, I think I know how to make these stop, but for now, just hop onto my back and hold on no matter what. Just don't do anything else until we beat this guy, alright?" He asked of the rabbit, soon turning to Scarecrow as suddenly, he felt a burst of adrenaline coursing through him--no, not just adrenaline, but some kind of flaming aura stimulating his very soul! "Holy crap...Somehow...I think I can end this!!" Hiryu roared aloud, clenching his fists as he struggled to contain the energy, slamming the button of his ridewatch.

FINISH TIME!

"Get your ass ready, Lucky, cuz you're about to see some shit!" Hiryu chuckled in a state of power high as he rushed towards the giant Scarecrow, jumping high onto the air and pressing the top of the driver, spinning it to make the bells chime as his entire body glowed an intense red flare.

BARLCKXS TIME BREAK!​

"GRRAAAAAAAGHHH!!" Hiryu's feet glowed bright red, engulfed in a fiery aura as the kick propelled him towards Scarecrow, aiming to strike his giant balls or, in a more real sense, OBLITERATE HIS HEAD.

Whisper, meanwhile, feeling this boost of energy suddenly made her float. Similar to the state Sonic had achieved with the Chaos Emeralds, except this time, she's shrouded in a colorful Aura. The Variable Wispon glowing rainbow in color, something it has never done before.

As if all at once, the Wisps broke free of their canisters and combined their powers on the Wispon, Whisper felt a rather bizarre yet powerful weapon om her hands. Floating on her own, she aimed the uberpowered Wispon towards Wesker, her eyes wide upon, pupils glowing with a radiant shine.

"...!!" Whisper grunted, firing a massive ball of colored energy towards the regenerating mad man, which once Wesker got hit, it was followed by five more shots--a missile, a buzzsaw, some diamond like cubes, some pellets and lastly, scattered beams of lasers all aimed at Wesker

"SAGE!"​

...Someone was calling his name...
...Who was it again? It felt extremely distant but also... very familiar.

And yet, he couldn't quite place it...

In his current mental state, the pyromancer had tunnel-sighted on keeping his best friend safe. Actually, tunnel-sight might be putting it lightly, because it was a lot deeper than that. Every single mental process imaginable was over-focused on the task at hand, to the point that the world beyond their winged protection no longer seemed to exist.
Fake world, real world; Past, present, future; Thoughts, feelings, fears, memories; It did not matter, nothing else mattered.

Just the instinct to protect remained.

Having Leo so close to his chest, Sage had closed his eyes with relieved breaths, revelling in the joy of this shared moment; Letting his overbearing loneliness melt away as if washed by waves. In here, everything was fine. No one was going to hurt or upset them, there were no problems to think about, nothing to worry over. It was like an extreme end of the feeling of flight, that sort of freedom from the mundane as one soared through the air. Except that instead of soaring, he was attached to the image of Leo; Acting as an emotional anchor.

"SAGE!"​

That voice had called again.
Where was it coming from? Who did it belong to?

Suddenly he felt himself be hugged from the back, but as he glanced around to see who it was... no one was there. Except the voice kept going. A familiar little girl's voice... Who is this?? Why is it so familiar?! Why does it feel like he should know who they are??! The pyromancer started panicking, letting go of Leo. He searched frantically for the source of the familiar voice that knew his name in extreme confusion and erratic breaths...

Until it finally came to him.

"Megumin?!", he called out at the archmage in desperation, "Megumin, where are you?!"

No matter how much he searched, the Missy was nowhere to be found. And still, he could hear her voice, and someone invisible touching him... Was that her?! He had no idea of what was happening, but to make it all worse... She had said that Leo wasn't there. That whatever he was seeing was not real. Sage's heart tied-up with denial, tears rising to his eyes.

"N-no...", he shook his head slowly, looking at 'Leo' in disbelief, "Not again... please..."

Conflicted, the pyromancer wasn't entirely sure of what to believe in... Did he trust his eyes, or did he trust what he was feeling and being told?? Taking a step forwards, the young man had hugged his friend again, sobbing softly. He bought him close, so close in fact that they had entwined necks, and remained like that for a moment, taking in the fake warmth one last time.

"I'm sorry.", he had whispered at the other, as his heart felt like shattering into one million pieces.

Sage didn't want to go. He didn't want to face a reality where he was all alone once more. Where all the people he had bonded with were too far, out of his reach... He had been dreading the end of the adventure due to this, trying to mentally ready himself for when it ultimately came. But it had come way too soon..! And yet, living a warped dream wouldn't make it any better.

With a deep breath, he began to open their enclosure, the enlarged wings slowly separating from each other. The ceiling of the illusion began to crack, letting a pure white light seep in and the image of Leo reacted to it, looking desperate. It tried reaching out only for Sage to take a new step back.

"No, wait..!", the fake Leo called making it so much harder than it already was, "Y-you said you'd protect me..."

"I did...", the young man let out in-between tears, "And I've already failed, yet again.", he kept gradually releasing the protection, the beasts outside euphorically awaited a chance to pounce, "I'm The Destroyer. I'm not capable of protecting anything, no matter how much I try... I'm sorry for deceiving you- us, both."

Unfortunately for the hungry creatures, before they could have actually pounced on the image of Leo, it seemed to go out in ragging blue flames out of nowhere, startling him. The Illusion finally shattered, but once more Sage had no chance to dwell into his new surroundings as a new voice would begin taunting and mocking the pyromancer. The fire-aura began to burn with fury.

"SHOW YOURSELF, YOU BASTARD!!", he shouted at the air, setting even the walls themselves on fire.

The 'Entity' kept going and the temperature around the Descendant would begin to rise continuously, past even the sensation of a sauna and nearing being stuck in a room on fire. Was that not just an illusion?! Had he really faced a somehow freed Toayî before?!! The more this went on the less he was able to tell what was real and what was just someone playing with his mind...

"I'VE FOUGHT YOU BEFORE AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN!!!", Sage had raised the Little Tiger Guard and glanced at the blue flames waiting for an attack.

“Don’t worry, Sage.", the comforting motherly tone had echoed right by his ear.​

With his heart skipping a beat, all fire went down immediately; The wings had broken into smaller embers and the fire-aura subsided.

"Look at me, I’m here. I’ll protect you..."​

"Alexis..?!", the exasperated pyromancer had begun turning around, a hopeful expression rising to his face, "You're bac-"

Only to be met with Kagutsuchi's cruel lines and hop away from Her with a startled screech.

"Y-You're LYING!", he retorted with defiance, like a child trying to call out an adult, "Alexis said she'd be there for me! That she'd never leave! I know she's in there somewhere, I KNOW SHE CAN HEAR ME!! ALEXIS, I NEED YOU! PLEASE, COME BACK!!!!"

And that's when, something else happened. Something new, that he couldn't quite explain.

Suddenly he just, didn't feel as scared! In fact, he seemed to have a moment of clarity... The Magic strain lowered considerably, postponing the lock-down and by proxy, the Take-Over. It was similar to what the armlet could do, except that at this point, at the cost of extreme physical pain. So what was this? It didn't hurt... Was he restrained in some other way? It felt like the metaphorical 'container' that barely fit him inside was now expanded by something, and it didn't only fit the pyromancer inside either. There was a lot more space in there!

For the first time, he felt like could just do anything, absolutely unrestrained.

"...This is all Your doing, isn't it?", Sage accused in a usually calm and distant tone.

It was hard to say what exactly he had been accusing the Goddess of The Flames of... Perhaps it had been the whole thing, start to finish; Or maybe just the Leo bits forwards. It was hard to know, but the Descendant seemed absolutely furious about it. When the fire-aura returned to him, it didn't just burn like usual, no, it BURST into tall flames as if Sage was a walking bonfire. The silhouette of wings that was always present, had been completely filled with the blaze, as if a pair of little ragging fire wings. His eyes glowed as he glared at the Black Kitsune.

"May Alexis forgive me for what I'm about to do...", the pyromancer had muttered under his breath, re-raising his Kung Fu guard up.

His right arm caught on fire, --eating away the jacket's sleeve--, and the flames solidified into a tonfa-like construct. He manoeuvred around with it as if playing with the new weapon for a moment before stopping in an attack pose. Tiger Kung Fu was a weapon-based style after all.

"I will make You regret messing with my head like that!!!"

Leaving a trail of fire in his wake, Sage had sprinted towards Kagutsuchi with a new found speed and attempted to strike the back of Her right knee with the tonfa, forcing her to collapse a little. With that done, he had then hopped back and immediately swung around, wanting to deliver a clock-wise spinning middle-height kick with his right leg, aiming directly for the place where the left side of Her head would now be. If not, in case She hadn't stumbled down as planned, it would have connected somewhere in the chest instead.
The force was enough to send Her away a couple of feet towards the right.

Orbeck of Vinheim
Status: trying to heal a vampire hunter, and
Condition: mentality panicking then tranquility from a flame.​

Meanwhile, Shanoa looks at Orbeck as he treats her. "Orbeck...Soma...is..."

As he took a look to the side, he could clearly see what was going on...

Soma turns to his side to see Lealan firing shots. He held his finger out and an energy shield is formed, blocking the shots.

Final Guard
Gain iron-clad defense.

Soma has gone rogue, not just from fear toxin. But from something else entirely, another external force. That was three people who have this issue now. Sage with the fire entity, Alexis with Kagutsuchi, and now soma with...who ever is taking control.

He would have continued to go about the situation. Only for that said ally to come to the rescue for the third time. Was this some trend or something? Regardless as Kyou's balance breaker is activated, Orbeck would feel those limitations move outwords, to the point where he felt like he could take on all sorts of foes, even something as grand as the soul of cinder itself. But it was still some what jarring, even more so when he was still trying to treat Shanoa's injuries. Those two stem packs should at least close the wound up to an extent, he could consider grabbing a few from the ground...

"I will make You regret messing with my head like that!!!"

And there was sage takeing the offensive on Kagutsuchi. Under the effects of balance breaker. Whatever quips she made has forced sage's hand. It wouldn't be an issue to intervene, especially since Soma has finally gotten the message that there was something more going on, and is now dealing with the blonde turned mutant.

"Shanoa, if you are able to move, I need your help with a certain someone causeing infighting."

He clearly glanced at the currently smug Kagutsuchi in the distance. Clearly trying to invite conflict.

"Tell me how you where able to refrain Yang back at the train, it may as well be our only means of keeping her from lashing out."

That crystalized prison of hers could hold down Yang and her temperament, maybe the same could be done with Kagutsuchi?

[Lazaro1505]

Benrey​

Ok, it seemed like he actually distracted the large Crane enough that it allowed the others to blind the giant ....... except it caused the man to flail around with his arms, that would hit Benrey if didn’t dodge in time, except, someone already dealt with that situation. Being pulled away by Ciri, he said “Thanks.... but I could have dodge that anyway. Still, can’t give up some free help here....” as he looked back at the large man, prepared for what would happen next.

But, looking in the direction of Kyrou, the new guy, doing some sort of bowa bowa do do whatever kind of magic, and he happened to be in the radius of said something along the lines of Balance Break......? Yeah, he didn’t know what exactly was going on with this weird fire magic, but some time later, he felt like he was at his full power, like he wasn’t even a day old when he ‘died’ and was sent to another universe. “Damn..... what kind of magic you know there kid, I feel like I can go play heavenly sword and beat up everyone in the room at the same time...” as he began to fly up with his No-Clip..... before suddenly going down, and clipping into the ground, disappearing like he was just a ghost and the ground was the floor.

Yeah.... Benrey was gone.... but a couple of rumbles from underneath the ground he went into completely changed that. This earthquake like event kept growing and growing, until, two large arms that seemed like Benrey’s, as the ground finally opened up to reveal the full and much larger, even the same size as the large Scarecrow, form of Benrey:
“Hey..... it’s me again.... so you decided to go and be a giant on all of us..... well guess what..... I can also join in this as well. So.... you want me to be bad.... so I’m gonna be baaadd....” as he prepared for his next attack.

And it would happen, if the narrator didn’t think that this wasn’t complete for some reason, even though it was perfect enough already. But, then the narrator of Benrey thought that this wasn’t complete without a kind of music that was both appropriate for the giant battle, but not for the theme of the battle. But the narrator decided to use it anyway:

Now, it was finally time to attack, as he said “Hey, gonna make ya pay for making me see Dr.Coomer ya excuse for a goddamn scarecrow.” as he raised his right and giant fist, before sending it flying straight at the face of the enlarged Scarecrow.... and it would probably do a lot since they were basically the same size..... so ouch.

Josh would finally free himself and Benedict from the anvil, tossing it aside as Benedict looked around before deciding what to do.
“Ah!“

"Whatever it is, I don't like it!" Lucky moaned. "Now I don't know what's real anymore! Me first friend was just an impostor, wasn't she?! You'd want to kill yourself, too, under those conditions!" Alas, maybe giving himself amnesia wasn't such a hot idea after all.

"If I help you, will me demon friends come back?" He asked shyly, reluctantly clinging to Hiryu with the Paw o' Death in his teeth. "I hope so, these colors are hurting me eyes!...And I can't even see that well to begin with! GAAAH-AAAAAAH!" Curiosity led him to activating the Paw o' Death, but he immediately wanted it off his nub, waving it madly. "Now there's guns comin' out of me paw! I hate this! All of this! I don't like it one bit!"

And then, for some reason, he felt his energy expand twicefold. It caused Hiryu to go berserk with big orbs of power, prompting Lucky to both scream like a baby lamb, and try something himself at the same time. After some fidgeting, he figured out that, by pushing down on an internal trigger, he was able to shoot bullets at Scarecrow. "Hey, look at me! I'm being offensive!"

  One of the creatures ran beside Price, to which he recoiled back, falling to the floor, boonie sliding off and away. It wrapped its clawed hands around his waist and... stayed there. Why had it not started attacking him? Ripping him apart as it had the others? He began hearing something, a faint voice that sounded so far away. It was the beast beside him, holding on to him, one of his former allies. It spoke his name in a monstrous tongue, but a few words here and there were clear. They were... Megumin's voice, breaking through the growls that rang in his ears. Is she awake?
  
  She continued talking, familiar words, important words, breaking through. Friends. Scarecrow. Scarecrow. "Crane..." Price's vision flickered. The beast he saw in front of him, for a split second, turned back to Megumin, before returning to his hellish nightmare. His vision flickered again. Showing a large fist about to slam on top of the two, before someone pulled them back. Every few blinks, the world would change around him. Back and forth, back and forth. In a moment of clarity, he noticed the barrel of his gun pointed towards the kid, just out of sight. His hand went limp, the pistol falling from his hand and clattering to the floor.
  
  One word echoed in his mind. Crane. Over and over, pounding like the beat of a drum. Every time he opened his eyes the world got clearer and clearer. The illusion began to fall away into flakes as his mind began overpowering the toxin injected into him. He found his way to his knees, then shut his eyes tight. Mind racing, convincing himself, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it's an illusion.
  
  It isn't real. It isn't. Wake up, John. Wake up.
  
  John's eyes opened. His allies, his friends, were back. Wakanda suddenly shifted into a broken down mansion. A fight was unfolding before him. Scarecrow was enormous, and Wesker was there as well. Snake Jr. was near him, firing at Crane. Had he pulled them to the side? Looking to his side, following the little arms around his waist, Megumin was sat there by him. The voice that brought him back to reality. Who he pointed the barrel of a gun at just moments prior.
  
  "Kid?" he sounded relieved, if almost out of breath, having just worked through a toxin injected into his bloodstream. She was indeed awake, albeit looking a bit rough, still. He put his hand on Megumin's shoulder after giving her a pat on the head. "Good work, Megumin." He chuckled, already pushing that harrowing experience down to focus on the situation in front of them. "Good work. Go on, kid, I'm alright."
  
  Standing up, Price grabs his boonie off the floor, placing it back on his head. As he did so, a loud screech sounded followed by a surge of energy rushing through him. He felt... powerful. At the top of his game. No, even higher. Still human, but better than ever before. For a moment he thought his had did it, but those hopes were quickly squandered by seeing one of his fellow MPF agents as the source of this power.
  
  "Alright," he chuckled, "I can work with this."
  
  John turned his attention to those fighting Wesker, running over to help. He doesn't get close, for obvious reasons, instead staying far enough back and to the side. Noticing the onslaught of attacks coming towards their assailant, who is even more unnatural than the two masked murderers they killed, Price sets up. He looks to the broken ceiling above them and aims his rifle high. He pumps back his grenade launcher, sending the 40mm shell to the ceiling. With the buff from Kyou improving his accuracy and good timing, the debris that falls from the ceiling just might fall onto Wesker. Hopefully the attacks coming towards him distracts him enough for Price's attack, which may or may not have the intended effects.

"Price?" Megumin's heart jumped as Price briefly pointed his gun at her. It gave her a horrific possibility: Suppose her surprise therapy wouldn't work on everyone? She remembered it still...her confession that not everyone could be saved. Wesker could be smirking from behind her, watching Price lose the fight with his ally's toxin. Or was that...no, it was what Wesker wanted her to think. "It's not him. It's not the Price I know. Come on, Price, I can see it in your eyes. You'll make it!"

"Kid?"

In one question, all that doubt was cleared from her mind, and she knew it was over for Scarecrow and his poisons. "Yes, P-p-price, it's me!" She leaned into him as he patted her, letting a quiet coo escape her lips. Sadly, behind this sweet moment, Sage seemed to snap out of it in the worst possible way, throwing all his rage at the taunting...Alexis? No, that was one of her gods, wasn't it? They must've used the initial poisoning as an opportunity to take the poor kitsune over! "I know y-y-you can do it, Price. Now, i-i-if you'll excuse me, I have a pyromancer and k-k-kitsune to save!"

As she bolted back to Sage, she felt stronger, lighter. Was it the armor? Was it the spirit of Samus coursing through the veins in her heart and soul? Whatever it was, she quickly grew to like it. She felt as though she could cast multiple explosions AT ONCE!...Which, given her current condition, still wasn't a good idea. Whatever.

"Sage, I'm b-b-back!" While moving to pin Alexis down, she called to him with her hand cupped next to her mouth. "A-a-are you still having nightmares? Either way, a-a-allow me to help you f-f-find Alexis!"

Lilith

Thankfully Lilith was able to kill off the demon Scarecrow sent at her but as she looks down to see how everyone was holding up Lucky was shooting at him, his bullets were most likely going to demons to if Scarecrow had the chance so Lilith rushed over and tried to warn him while she was panting.

"Hey you probably shouldn't use anything projectile based on him, he's going to turn then into demons and that's going to unfold a whole slew of problems."

The lightning caused by Blake had been enough to make Wesker flinch and stumble back, though not much else. Unfortunately for Ciri, though, she had extended her acts of heroism too far, and as she grabbed Snake, Crane struck the both of them with his full hand! The strike was enough to send them flying, and quite possibly injure them as well.

Wesker's eyes would widen, however, when Alien X formed a black hole where the tendrils had struck! Grunting, Wesker would manage to use his superhuman strength to pull one arm free, slicing off the other within moments. As he regenerated his arm, he turned to Alien X, sneering. "H-how are you doing this... I am a GOD!" He shouted, before swinging his tendrils like giant mallets, aiming to knock Alien X to the ground. Scarecrow was too distracted to even notice Agent Penguin, however. Once more, though, Jett's shots didn't really do much to Scarecrow's forehead.

What did do much, though, was Kyou's punch. The punch had struck Crane right in the middle of his face, sending the illusion falling back with a loud scream. Although Kyou hadn't shattered it entirely, it flickered like mad, as if it was just about done for. "Y-you..." Was all Scarecrow managed to sputter out as he looked down at the hands of the illusion he'd created, a confused, almost scared expression on his demonic face all the while. However, it was this anger and fear that kept him going, and as such, when Agent 3 climbed up his arm and stopped to taunt him, that's when Crane took his shot, and sprayed her head-on with a whole cloud of fear toxin!

Unlike Lobo, though, Wesker was smart enough to know what those Doom grenades would do. So, using one of his tendrils, he smacked the grenade away as if it were a baseball, right back towards Lealan! "I have studied you all closely up until this point. Such moves will not work on me." Wesker taunted. His tendrils rose up into the air, taking the lasers for him, allowing them to be chipped away by them and then regrow themselves moments later. "Your party tricks, though cute, are just that: tricks."

Scarecrow, who had been distracted with Agent 3, and then blinded by Benedict's spotlight, had no time to react when Hiryu launched his super-powered kick towards his giant head! The kick connected with a loud crack that send a shockwave throughout the field (which, as a consequence, unfortunately tripped Whisper so that her attack ended up hitting the wall near Wesker instead). But still! Scarecrow had been severely weakened from the attack, and the illusion rapidly began to fade, the head now entirely gone! The punch from the supersized Benrey was enough to completely dissolve his left arm, which now only left it with his right arm and torso! As another act of desperation, the remnants of the illusion shot the hand in Benrey's direction, aiming to inject him with the needles of fear toxin!

The bullets from Lucky's weapon were enough to actually do damage to Scarecow this time, each bullet leaving another hole in the illusion. As final nails in the coffin, Price and Jak got over their fears respectively, which was enough for Crane's illusion to flicker even more, until slowly, it began to fade entirely! The supernova from Jak was literally the final hit it could take, and with a loud scream, the illusion of the giant Scarecrow had disappeared entirely.

Unfortunately for Price, though, Wesker rose his monster-like tendrils up above him, shielding himself from the falling debris. "I've taken four thousand pounds of pure steel and walked it off! Did you really think a ceiling would be enough to stop me!?" Wesker shouted, before swinging his tendrils in Price's direction, aiming to send him flying once more.

​

One by one, his allies attacked with fire on their hearts. They finally seemed to be tired of all this bullshit occurring to them. The things this asshole made them go through. They were done. And so was Kyou. As such, when he punched, he quickly backflipped back, grinning as he watched his allies all one by one attack Scarecrow, weakening him more and more. His fear toxins would likely (although not 100% certainly) have little effect on them, as their minds had been buffed as well by his Balance Breaker ability.

"FINISH 'IM!"​

Kyou screamed with all his might, as one by one, shots connected, punches and kicks hit him, and one by one, his allies managed to destroy the sorry illusion that was Scarecrow.

Even when he fell, even when he slowly felt the toxins dying out of his body thanks to his body heat and Balance Breaker, he didn't allow himself to yell with victory. Instead, with high speeds once more, he flew towards Scarecrow- landing right on top of him, a kick hitting the doctor on the gut to distract him with pain, so he could avoid him trying to hit him with the needles too! A loud thud was heard, maybe a 'crack' as Kyou landed a kick on his chest, before forcefully, and before Crane could react, Kyou got a hold of both of his arms, and...

"Normally, I'd be sorry for this, but considerin' what ya did, I ain't!"

CRUNCH
​

The sound of bone breaking and being bent could be heard, as he grabbed both of Crane's hands, and with added pressure using both of his hands, Kyou forcefully broke both of the doctor's hands so he couldn't use the fear gas, at least not as effectively. Pain would likely course through his fells as the oni very easily did so what he did. And as Crane stared at the half-oni...He could see it. Shining red eyes. A dark, flaming aura that was angry, and a great beast with an endless hunger ready to eat him whole. A demon. Two demons. A man who was both a human and a demon.

But death never came to Crane, as Kyou simply grabbed his needles...And injected it right into the doctor's own body.

"Now stay put. And sweet dreams, sucka."

And with his face hitting Crane's own with a headbutt, Kyou hoped to knock Crane out.
​

Now, was this the time to commemorate? Nooot really, no. As soon as Kyou was finished with Crane, he could feel his Balance Breaking juice slowly exiting his body- but not completely. Which meant he had to deal with someone else, the man he nearly didn't see. Wesker- that, unknown to Kyou, was the man who had summoned the oni to kill the MPF. But unfortunately for him, he didn't take alignment into question when summoning him.

As such, Kyou had no problem doing what he did next. He sees what his deal is already!

Flames shot from his hands and mouth towards Wesker. Normally, they'd already were extremely hot- hot enough to melt metal. But with Balance Breaking and Kyou's new form, they were beyond hot, and if they hit, they wouldn't kill him instantly, but his cells would start burning, likely meaning his regeneration would be haltered, or even canceled! They were hard to get rid of too, as they slowly ate away his skin, and cells...!

"HEY! ASSHAT! LEAVE M' PALS ALONE!"

Yang watched as the illusions broke down before her very eyes.

First, the presences that had been assaulting Ruby disappeared one-by-one, in a rapid succession. Soon enough, she was left alone with nobody but just her and the mutilated Ruby, in a city that was, too, beginning to fade away. As "Wakanda" faded from her sight as well, the gigantic Scarecrow burst through the disappearing sky, almost seeming to foam at his mouth as he wondered why she and Gretar weren't, you know...

Scared.

Just then, Scarecrow slammed his fist onto her, but she managed to dodge his attack. She retaliated by punching him back, but as she looked, she saw fire coming at her so she dodged. By then, the illusions were almost completely gone, with only bits of the city left over, and she was able to see her teammates fighting for their lives.

In particular, Scarecrow's gigantic self was disappearing as well. Picking the gun back up for herself, she watched Kyou try to inject the needles onto Scarecrow himself, as she inched closer towards him.

— — — — —​

Weiss had taken on a defensive position as he analyzed Wesker and his tendrils. He alone exhibited superhuman speed and strength, as well as a higher degree of reflexes, and could regenerate. The tendrils appear to be strong, as well.

However, something else was going on.

As Weiss looked, she saw Sage trying to bring Alexis back into the light, and already was she worried; Alexis had been his protector for a while now, and to see him already starting to strain himself was...troubling. Reluctantly, she turned back towards the task at hand. She barely noticed that she had basically been boosted in strength and speed by Kyou, but once she did, she appreciated it deep down in her thoughts.

"Blake, on count." Weiss looked at Blake. She then switched Myrtenaster to ice mode and then stabbed the floor, producing a thin layer of slippery ice that headed towards Wesker.

"Now!" Weiss then got into position, as she summoned a large, spinning Glyph in front of her. As she watched, a gigantic, statuesque suit of armor rose from the Glyph, holding a wide, threatening longsword. Once it had spawned, it charged towards Wesker, aiming to slash at him.

Lealan let's the Doom Grenade Detonate on her, letting the effect take hold. She gives a Devil May Care grin and shoots a shotgun spread of Plasma at Wesker. "Did you really think I wouldn't account for that? I'm hardly the biggest threat here! You are out numbered and out gunned! Give up and die, idiot!" She shoots continuously at Wesker, until something makes her stop firing.

"G'YAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! A GHOST!" Lucky almost fell off Hiryu's back, and instinctively moved to plug Lillith full of holes. Being what she is, this probably didn't hurt Lillith in the slightest, but it was something? "W-well, I certainly am doin' whatever I can! Pardon me if I don't remember having epic powers like this guy does! I-I-I'm just trying to get me real friends back!"

Despite the ghost's advice, however, it looked like the bullets actually did whittle Scarecrow down. "Ha ha." He smirked, but his confidence didn't last. "Uh...hello? I was told that defeating him would make things go back to normal! W-why are you all still freaks?!"

Hearing Jett, she nodded towards her and then looked at Weiss as she started to analyze Wesker. Once she was done, she switched to sheath and gun mode holding both the gun in one hand and the sheath in the other hand. Nodding in response to Weiss, once she put the thin layer of ice on the ground, Blake began to move towards him, firing fire bullets at him as she ran towards him.

Once close enough, if he attempted to attack her, he would find that difficult as she slid under him, leaving a fire afterimage in her place to blow up on him. Quickly switching to kusarigama mode, she threw it at him and attempted to impale him with it. If it succeeded, she’d pull him towards her and once he got close enough to attack, she’d jump over him using her semblance to jump off of the afterimage and kick him towards the Arma Gigas, landing on her feet.

Seeing the hand come for her and Snake, she attempted to block to lessen the damage for her. Unfortunately, she still was sent flying, but she managed to block some of the damage. Landing some ways away, she corrected herself once she was getting close to the ground and landed on her feet, sliding backwards. Yeah, her arms and legs hurt like a bitch, but she could live with it for a few more minutes before the pain became too much. Ciri looked at Snake, who was probably next to her. “Are you okay?”

Regardless of his answer, seeing as how Crane was being handled by the others, she turned her attention to the fight with the man in black. And boy, did he seem to show off some powers that made him tricky. But then again, she was tricky herself. Once she saw her opening after Blake and Weiss were done with him, she took it as she ran at him trying to ignore the pain for as long as she could and upon getting close enough, she Blinked behind him and delivered a few sword slashes to his back before aiming for the arm with the tendril in order to do some damage to it.

If he turned his attention towards her, she’d Blink backwards but as she did, she winced in pain for a few seconds before readying her sword again.

With Lucky's boost in energy, his mind...his mind started to rapidly change shape. Whatever Benedict had caved in with his bat was being undone, but it wasn't all a happy thing...

Sure enough, the toxin could now work in full force. "Lana! I remember now, her name was..." He watched her get piledrived by Hiryu's fleshy mass, while Rex and Sora each had their heads pulled off like daisies by Ciri and Price. Megumin screeched like a strangled cat as Sage cooked her alive. It all stirred in his head, back with a vengeance, knocking at his brain. "I remember...all of it...but I don't..." The Paw o' Death began to growl, waving itself in front of the back of Hiryu's neck. "...I didn't want to! F-fuck, I'm back! Jesus Christ!..." And he plummeted from his perch, back in the same place as before.

He landed with a hard crunch, the world spinning around him. "Urgh...errrrgh..." Stray bullets began to fly from his weapon, hitting the supposed demons as he struggled to keep himself from actually aiming. "Must...defend..."

"Lucky!" Boy, was he happy to hear Lupé's angelic voice. "Remember what Hiryu said about you!" The words echoed, rising high above the screams of his friends.

"The hell is wrong with you right now--That's you! YOU'RE Lucky!"..."And right now, the Lucky I know wouldn't give a DAMN about that Fox and charge right towards the source that caused all this chaos and bite him in the ass! You wanna know why?"..."Because you're Lucky goddammit! And Lucky knows when his mind's fucking with him! He knows when to feel and when to be harsh! And right now, I need you to recall who you are and all of your anger!"..."You're like me. You've dedicated all your life to avenging the ones you've loved. Trying to kill the ones who took away your peaceful life, and pushing everyone else so that you don't have to see them go...That's why I want you be brave now, Lucky!"..."Use your nose, and smell the true Scarecrow!"

"N-no...that's not me..." He shook his trembling head. "Yes, it is...No, I was never so brutish! I...I..." The others around him kept flickering between the demons he was once comfortable with, and the ordinary people who terrified him. For once, there was nothing Lupé could do. His spur-of-the-moment plan was backfiring all at once, leaving him unable to realign himself...

POST

As Kagutsuchi saw Saint get worked up over her little impersonation of Toayî, she had to make the effort to not laugh, especially when she saw his expression at her little mimicry of Alexis. It was just too good! The boy practically turned into a bird as he screeched and leapt backwards. “I’m sure your little mommy would love to help you, but she doesn’t want to help you right now. Even if you are suffering—boo-f###ing-hoo—she has other more important things to deal with.”

The boy’s reaction to the taunting wasn’t exactly what Kagutsuchi expected however, and she clearly telegraphed it with tsk as Mage decided to take an aggressive turn, staring Kagutsuchi down as he calmed down for a moment. He created some fiery construct as a weapon before dashing towards her. It was then that Kagutsuchi realized what she needed to do. “What have you ever done for her except be deadweight? She was there for all of your little breakdowns and now that she’s having an emotional breakdown of her own, what are you doing? Beating the sh## out of her body? She dealt with your little loss of control more times than you know, but once she loses control, you return the favor by beating her?”

Kagutsuchi delivered her little speech, allowing the boy to come in close and swing his little stick around, moving her knee in the direction he intended to strike so that she crumpled to her knees just as he would’ve wanted. She also let him deliver that kick to her head, getting sent flying across the mansion room. Upon landing, she created the illusion of her head slamming against the ground and created the sound of a sickening crack. Kagutsuchi purposely shapeshifted her body to give the impression that her body was contorted by the boy’s strikes, with her leg at an angle that wasn’t quite right, her arm convincingly limp, and allowed a generous amount of blood to flow from her head. For a moment she pretended to be knocked out to really sell the act before she falsely “blinked back into consciousness”, “S-Sage… what are you doing? Ughhh…”

It was then that Kagutsuchi felt the kind of Soul Fire burning Alexis’s soul burning. The Flames that Burned What Was Beneath was similar to the flames that Iblis wielded, except they weren’t intended to harm the soul, but rather, burn away the limits of the soul and allow it to push past its limits. Internally, Kagutsuchi chuckled, Oh these flames feel good. Iblis, why can’t you use flames like these?

I can with practice, but do you truly wish to burn your own essence for an increase in power?

Just get ready for when we face off Toayî. I want all the power we can get to teach that b#### a lesson

If you say so, fearless leader. Maybe if you burn yourself out we would see an improvement to your personality.

Shut it.

In the meantime, while Iblis attempted to study these “Balance Break” flames, Kagutsuchi would take advantage of the fact that Alexis’s soul was on fire and burning brighter than ever. Perhaps Kyou wasn’t entirely aware, but Alexis’s soul was deeply intertwined with Kagutsuchi’s. The woman did not turn into a kitsune for no reason. As Kagutsuchi clung onto Alexis’s soul for survival, they melded together and Alexis’s body conformed to the nature of her soul. While there was a distinction between Alexis and Kagutsuchi, it was only because Shin Don maintained the balance long enough for Alexis to gain the strength necessary to hold out against Kagutsuchi’s influence. There was no Alexis without Kagutsuchi and there was no Kagutsuchi without Alexis. If they were to be truly separated, both would die, and in the same way, both souls burned at once.

Beside, whether the flame was meant exclusively for Alexis or not didn’t matter. Alexis didn’t want to take control. She just wanted to be alone. That was her will, and no fire could change that. If anything, it only made her hunker down further. That said, just as Kagutsuchi had an influence on Alexis, the woman also had an influence on the goddess, causing a little bit of the woman’s desire to self isolate out, “J-just leave me alone.” Kagutsuchi quickly recovered added a pained groan, saying, “I-I don’t know how much I can keep Kagutsuchi at bay… I-I can bare-barely stay awake. It-it hurts. G-get away while you still can...”

Lilith

It looks like Lucky was having a bit of trouble trying to wrap his head around everyone ether talking about Scarecrows demons or the people he was scared of so Lilith tries to set his mind straight. "Lucky don't listen to them, it's not healthy to set your mind to everything other people tell you to do so just do what you think is right and you'll be fine."

"Also I forgive you for trying to shoot me earlier."

Scarecrow had no time to think, let alone even react, as Kyou kicked him square in the gut. Crane fell to his hands and knees, coughing weakly. "H-how did you overcome my toxin?" He managed to spit out, only to receive another kick in the chest, which cracked his ribs, making him cough up blood. He struggled to even breathe as he tried to stand, only for Kyou to grab his hands. He winced in pain when he felt his hands crack, only to watch hopelessly as Kyou grabbed his hand with the needles. "No...!" Scarecrow weakly shouted in protest, but there was little he could do as his hand was turned, and he felt all four of the needles stick themselves in his skin, and he'd been forcefully injected with his own toxin.

And then, when Scarecrow finally got a good look at the demon before him, one which had only been amplified by the toxin...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

All he could do was scream, before forcefully being knocked out by Kyou's headbutt.

Lucky's eyelid managed to open, and he stared at Lillith desperately. "That's not the problem...I...I thought I could bypass Scarecrow's toxin by givin' meself amnesia...Wait, who am I talkin' to?! Lillith, you fuckin' idiot!" Once again, he found himself trying to put a weapon to his throat, only to stop when he heard Lana's cry.

And then he heard Scarecrow's cry, and both eyes went wide. "No...NO..." His tail, his ears, everything drooped. "I-I LOST ME CHANCE!" He desperately hoped for Scarecrow to reawaken, but he was merely knocked unconscious. And that was the finishing blow for this rabbit. "...I failed...me mind can never be avenged..." He whined softly as he collapsed. "Who...am I..."

The fire that once burned so calmly within him was now completely out of control. "I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS!" He rushed over to Scarecrow, kicking and chewing at him. "GET UP, YOU FUCKING BASTARD! YOU'RE NOT MAKIN' ME GO DOWN LIKE THIS WITHOUT A FIGHT! COME ON, PLEASE!" All he could really do was try to reawaken him with stabs to nonfatal areas.

As much as Megumin would enjoy helping Lucky out, she had a fox to deal with. Katsuguchi has switched to mocking Sage's failure to comfort her, and her own face turned bright red. "How DARE you?!" She snarled, pulling her lips back. "Do you really think Alexis resents him?! Do you honestly think she'd believe he's acting in his right mind?!" She had little time to retaliate, however, since most, if not every one of Sage's blows seemed to hit Katsuguchi. When the kitsune opened her eyes again, she spoke with Alexis's soft, motherly voice, and Megumin relaxed. "Good to see you back to normal, Alexis. Unless...Sage, do you think she'll be okay?" She looked at the pyromancer trustingly.
