Jett

Location: Globnar
Expression: Listening to Time Baby about Who is The Warrior That Could Beat Ganondorf
Interaction: Time Baby
Mention: thatguyinthestore

"GANONDORF'S ONLY WEAKNESS IS A WEAPON THAT YOU CAN NOT WIELD," Time Baby explained to Hiryu when he asked for said weakness. Time Baby would hold up his stubby arms, right above his head. When he did so, a dark silhouette, outlined in the shape of a tall male, was displayed before you all.

"ONLY ONE WARRIOR CAN WIELD THIS WEAPON, WHICH IS KNOWN BY MANY AS THE BLADE OF EVIL'S BANE. IT IS SAID THAT IT IS THE ONE TRUE WEAPON THAT CAN KILL GANONDORF, AND SEAL HIM AWAY FOR GOOD." A burst of blue flame proceeded to envelop the silhouette, causing it to disappear. Time Baby proceeded to slowly gaze back down towards you all. "I CAN SUMMON THIS WARRIOR TO AID YOU IN YOUR QUEST, IF YOU WISH."

In the meantime, a certain chubby child in a space suit could be heard stirring awake from a certain Witchress' words. "H-huh... wha...?" The child, who was known as Space Kid, asked as his head was slowly lifted up from its resting position against Ciri's knee. He looked around for a moment and yawned, before staring back up at Ciri. "A-are we at McDonald's, Mommy...?" He asked, and then after a few moments, he noticed the deceased body of Jared off to the side. The sight had made Space Kid's eyes suddenly light up, and with a spring in his step and a bounce in his britches, he hopped off of Ciri's leg and ran over to the dead body... and began to poke it in the eye. "Woah!! Look, Mommy! A real life dead body!" He exclaimed in awe as he continued to poke it in the un-moving eye.

As when Jett is done comforting Thorne, she turned around to Time Baby just to listen on what he talked about someone that is capable enough to beat Ganondorf that has an sword called the Blade of Evil's Bane. She tries to memorize it even more just to either have the warrior's last location is right before she tries to question Time Baby again saying to him "How do we gonna find the warrior you've talked about?? He's the only hope to have the entire multiverse going to save from Ganondorf, but we need to have some clues on where his last location is going to be..."

She thinks that the only way to improve the group for a fight is to slowly finding the warrior that Time Baby talked about and she is need to do this just to have one last hope of this adventure, she then turned around to look at everyone that is still in the adventure and still worried about Alexis leaving the MPF but she doesn't want to have this war not over yet.​

Time Baby fell silent for a moment as he stared at Jett. His unwavering expression was hard to read, but it was easy to guess that he was deadpanning. "I JUST SAID THAT I COULD SUMMON HIM."

Lealan walks over to Space Kid and gingerly grabs his arm, enough to keep him from poking the body. "That's not how you do it, use this." The Floran then hands Space Kid a feathered stick, that is actually a crossbow bolt with the head removed.

"Ohhhh! Okay!" Space Kid exclaimed with a nod as he took the stick from Lealan. "Thanks, green lady!" Space Kid shouted happily, before merrily poking away at the dead Jared's eye with his new poking tool.... each poke resulting in the face becoming more and more disfigured. At least he was having fun, though.

Zwei

Zwei was..... somewhere.... I don’t know where my characters go when I stop using them.

But she's back!

”Ummmmm so we have the wishes right? Twilight Resistence? Twilight Detection? And summon an ancient hero whats it?! So why are we just doing nothing right now??”

She blushed a bit, aware that she was doing nothing up until this point.

She walked toward Jett and also gave her a look...

”Were you not paying attention??”

Thankfully, he wasn’t dead which was honestly a surprise considering what had happened while he was asleep. She shook her head no in response to him, looking at Space Kid. “I’m afraid not, but we’ll get there eventually.”

He then got up and went to the dead body of the man that had just been killed and began to... poke it in the eye. Lealan then came over to him and gave him a crossbow bolt without the head to continue to poke it. “I... see, Space Kid.” She turned to Time Baby as the two were busy with the dead body. “There’s another one that’s from a different timeline, the child in the helmet. Could you return him back to his original timeline, please?”

As much fun as he was having here, poking a dead body, she wanted him to return home safely. This wasn’t the place for him, he could honestly get very injured and probably die, so him returning home was the best thing for him even if it would hurt her a bit to send him back home and even if it would hurt him to be separated from her.

Luckily for Ciri, Space Kid was too immersed in poking the dead Jared to even hear her words about sending him back. However, Time Baby heard her loud and clear, and looked down at her before saying, "IF YOU WISH FOR IT TO BE A PART OF YOUR TIME WISH, THEN IT SHALL BE DONE."

Sage had been awaiting Killua's reply, having a hand over the matchstick and keeping the flame from trying to consume the rest of the wood with his powers. It was a bit 'cheaty', but hey that helped not waste the match! Unfortunately, before he could either stop or proceed with healing, Magic Detection went off, meaning that somebody else was approaching. As swift as possible, while still hurting, the pyromancer had given up, put out the match and turned back around to meet Fuma in the right orientation. The pain was bearable when compared to tons of other damage he had suffered through this adventure already. It's fine, he'll just have to heal later.

He had barely placed the burnt match on top of the little box it had come from, before the other had spoken. The same loud, echo-y tone that he had heard from her back in the white prison. It was somewhat startling, the demoness had definitely seen him flinch ever so slightly at it, but nothing he couldn't handle. It may be uncomfortable by association right now, but just like everything else, do it enough times and it would stop fazing him. Perhaps the young man would have been a bit more apprehensive to have a random Magical creature suddenly address him. But as he had already gathered this was an acquaintance of Kyou and Mimaki, he was a bit more relaxed about it. Maybe she was just curious about him after seeing interactions with the other two.

"Eh, it reminds me of something else a little, but it's okay, I'm not too bothered...", he had reassured the other, then given out a nod in acknowledgement at the introduction, "Nice to meet you, Fuma. I'm Sage! Sage Kaelber, though its been shortened to Sey before, so you can just choose either~", he had laughed softly, before being interrupted by the pain forcing him to flinch a bit, "Well, I haven't done a lot. I'm not really a fighter as ironic as that might sound, I prefer blocking attacks aimed at other people and such...", the Descendant had scratched at his cheek in awkwardness, "If I went all-out things could get... problematic. So it's fine, I just like keeping people safe. Though...", he had paused, leaning a bit further over the wall, an apologetic expression in his face, "I did get rammed at by a mechanical deer there. Oops!"

There had been a little chuckle, this time not enough to hurt as much. And then Sage had stopped, looking at Fuma with a childlike-curiosity. She had said 'demonspeak', hadn't she? Could it be? Was this his chance to finally understand what this word meant, after no one else seemed up to explain it to him? He had glanced down in for a moment, hesitant. Was there a reason that no one would tell him? Learning what a ghost was hadn't been this complicated... Well, it couldn't be so terrible now, could it? And sure, if Leo had been trying to protect him in some way by not explaining it, he was grateful for it but, if the pyromancer was trying to be an adult, then he had to handle stuff on his own too! And he wanted to know since it wouldn't stop popping up with certain frequency.

"Ah-!", he cut it the first time, a bit too anxious. How could he ask it without possibly offending her? I didn't take too long for the next attempt, as he had jerked his head back up to look at her, "I uh- I hope this isn't like, offensive or bothersome or weird in any way but... What's a 'demon'?", awkward tense pause, "You see, I've heard it many times before, always meaning something kind of bad, and yet, I have no idea what it means... We're missing lots of common concepts like that in Saraiiho. And the ones that do know, don't seem to want to explain it..."

​

There was a bit of pause as Kyou took a moment to hear everyone. The two other wishes, to wish for the hero to defeat Ganon and Twilight Resistance were clearly the best ones. However...Twilight Detection seemed a bit...Less useful? Not because it was useless, it certainly had its uses, but...He had a feeling everyone would be able to tell what Twilight was or where it was being used when it showed up. It was certainly less useful. Maybe it had niche uses, but...Yeah, no. It certainly was going to help the less. As such, Kyou whistled to get Time Baby's attention, waving over to him. He already had an idea for a better wish.

"Time Baby!" Kyou yelled out, waving his hands to be noticed more easily by the large infant. "I have decided on our wish! I believe Twilight Detection isn't useful, as we all goin' to be able to tell when Twilight shows up 'n all, as such, I wish for the Hero that is able to defeat Ganon, Twilight Resistance, and make so all of our souls and mind are too strong to be possessed by any force, and if that is beyond your power, make so they are as resistant as possible, alongside my powers coming back as a favor!"

Kyou had a feeling people would get mad at his wish, principally giving up Twilight Detection. But...When he added that different wish, for their souls to be too strong to be 'taken over', he looked at Sage, then at Killua. At first, he considered making a specific wish for either of the two, but he realized that wishing for something like that would not benefit the group as a whole, and besides, a wish is a wish, after all! There doesn't seem to be any rulings- as long as it was on Time Baby's power, it could be done.

Regardless, the wish was made!

 

[Ellya]

Ellie felt the respect and understanding that Frank had gained for her, and she definitely felt the same for him, much more so now. Regardless, the awkwardness in the air could be felt during their first interaction after he'd held her back all screaming and kicking and crying. Ellie looked away toward the group as they discussed their wish.

"Look at those assholes... That... Time Baby fuck just threw us all in here to watch us hurt each other and now they're all just sucking up to him like he's some kinda god..." Ellie scoffed and shook her head. "And that Falcon guy in spandex? Just straight up went after Atreus like it was the most normal shit in the world..." The girl furrowed her brow, a mix of confusion and disbelief on her face. She couldn't believe people had just forgotten all about that. They all had the option to just do nothing, and even if that got them hurt or locked up or whatever, it still seemed a better option than killing each other.

"I'm not forgetting any of this..." Ellie gave a resolute look at Frank. "That baby bitch is gonna give us our wish, but then he's gotta die" she said. The way she said it was nothing like the way she screamed that she was going to kill Thorne earlier. That was blind rage, this was justice. Sure, the baby could be useful to grant them that wish, but after that...

It's time to abort.

BarrenThin2

In response to Kyou finally establishing a clear wish, Ellie raised her eyebrows. "Get his powers back? Did this fucker not just fight that scary-looking big boy god by himself?"

Fuma

"

SAGE IT IS. FUMA IS MORE OF A WIDE-RANGED-FIGHTER WITH ASSISTED DEMONS THAN A CLOSE RANGE ONE- FUMA UNDERSTANDS. THE FIRST ROUND WAS A NICE SPAR BEFORE THE CHAMPIONS' ROUND...

"

Fuma might understand the role in battle, as they both aren't necessarily good in battle. As she began to recall champions with Sage, she was silent, before responding,

"

KRATOS. A GOD OF WAR, AND ONE WHO COULD KILL GODS. A VICIOUS OPPONENT, BUT QUITE SCARY.

"

Fuma shuddered a little. She knew there was some battle wounds from him that were healed up by Akari, but that man- Kratos, had potential to kill her teammates, Kyou... even Mimaki. It was fear and anger that drove her nearly all-out in terms of power, in terms of desperation to save allies. To each their own.

But, with Sage's question, she perked up. Well, he's been curious, but why hasn't he been told of things such as demons? Fuma was knowledgeable on this subject, so she began to explain. It should lighten her mood.

"

DEMONS CAN BE MANY TYPES, DEPENDING ON THE WORLD'S LORE. THOUGH I HAD STAYED IN GENSOKYO, FUMA LIVED IN A DIFFERENT TIME PERIOD 3,000+ YEARS AGO. IT MEANT THAT MY LORE, MY BOOK, IS FOREIGN, AND I'M ANCIENT.

"

To that, she showed Sage the Goetia. She opens it, for he can see the many pages of these demons.

"

IN THIS CASE, THIS IS ARS GOETIA, OR KNOWN AS, LESSER KEY OF SOLOMON. THIS IS A BOOK FROM MY CREATOR. THERE IS ORIGINALLY 72 DEMONS, LIKE YOU SEE IN THE BOOK'S CONTENTS. EACH OF THEM HAVE THEIR OWN HIERARCHY, AND THEY ARE ALL EQUALLY HIGH IN SOME MANNER. EACH OF THEM HAVE THEIR FORMS, THEIR ARMIES AND THEIR PURPOSES. THE DIFFERENCE? FUMA HAS BEEN TRUSTED BY HER CREATOR, KING SOLOMON, TO CONTROL AND LOOK AFTER THESE DEMONS FOR THE SAKE OF CONTINUING HIS LEGEND. FUMA IS THE 73RD OF MANY... NAMED 'MISHANDRA'. THAT IS WHY FUMA SPEAKS THE WAY SHE DOES CURRENTLY- A SIGN TO SUMMON THEM IS BY DECISION OF WHICH OF THESE DEMONS COULD FULFILL THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK.

"

Admittedly, she spoke like that because of after-battle fear. Just talking about her many wisdom should be something to get her mind off of that fight. The summary for this explanation is that besides their hierarchy and such, Sage could ask questions to Fuma, and either she or the demon for that question may answer it. It's besides just being battle assistants. Pretty neat, huh?

Frank Castle

As usual, Frank didn't have any immediate replies to Ellie. Already, he felt like he had done quite a bit of talking. More than he generally enjoyed doing. She was right, though. For someone that had just forced them into a battle where the only thing stopping people from murdering each other was their own good will and the fear of any consequences they might have faced, people sure were playing nice with the Time Baby. So far, he had avoided addressing the thing altogether. Part of him just wanted to pretend it didn't exist. An enormous, omnipotent infant was one of the more disturbingly weird things he had encountered, both back home and being dragged by the collar across the multiverse. When she pointed Falcon out, his head turned to the much taller man. She was right again, him going for Atreus first was problematic. Fortunately, all the racer had done was menace the boy. No blows were struck, or else the old man couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be two corpses across the arena floor with crossbow bolts lodged in their skulls.

What she said next made him stop dead once more. It didn't have the angry vigor that the desire to punish Thorne had. It was cooler, more collected. She had been thinking about it while they stood there. His mind went to Lisa. The version of her that survived in a world where he died. He recalled the repulsion he felt finding out she had followed the same path as him. He stared up at Time Baby. The moral implications of murdering an infant, omnipotent or not, certainly gave the older man pause, not that it was within their power to do it if they wanted to. Was Time Baby actually a baby, or just a deity perpetually trapped in the form of an infant? He certainly wasn't going to ask. "Thing is basically omnipotent. I try to put a crossbow bolt in him, I doubt he even feels it. Fries me, maybe you, maybe everyone here without so much as a second thought." This was, unfortunately, not his first experience with psuedo-omnipotence.

That was that addressed. What to do about the other part? What compelled her to this bizarre desire for vigilantism? She didn't know who he was to want to emulate him, so that was a good thing at least. It was less that he objected to her killing people (even in her own world, she had already done that more than once), and more that this desire to do it left him unsettled. Finally, he loaded his crossbow, shrugged it off his shoulders, and put it in her hands rather abruptly. "Alright then. If you're so sure he should die, and that you can kill him, do it." He went back to staring at Time Baby. "Not the way I do things. You've got to know they deserve it. Can't doubt it for a second, or you're just murdering someone. In this case, murdering a giant god baby that might have too little control and too much freedom." His expression and tone never changed, but he meant what he said next. "If you can look him in the eye and think, without hesitating for a second, he should die, then shoot him."

Mimaki's simple reassuring of Atreus was soon interrupted by Fuma as she made a...Quite embarrassing comment about the current gun he was wielding. A blush came to his face as his ears moved down as if he was cringing down, and the ears did the same as well. Yeah...Him wielding a gun wasn't a style. He could just cut the bullets down before they even hit him, and move faster than they ever could hope to hit him. Point is, a gun wasn't his style, and never was going to be. He needed to give it to someone else. Akari's arrival to help Atreus feel better was also useful to allow him to leave unnoticed to find a proper wielder of Benrey's 'passport', but he still gave the part-god boy a little look before he moved away. We can talk about it later if you want to.

He first considered Jason, but the man already had weaponry capable of hurting Alexis, and likely people like him and Kyou as well. Micah...He didn't like the look of his face. Not one bit. Ellie was out of the question, the girl was an emotional rollercoaster and the gun was probably heavier than anything she could ever hope to wield, and even in the long-distance he was away from her, he could hear what she was saying. She wanted to kill time baby. Was she insane? Hell, even Frank seemed to be unsettled by that, as well and thinking it was not a good idea.

...But even so, the Punisher gave Ellie the crossbow, saying that she could shoot Time Baby if she wanted to. A part of Mimaki felt as if this was a test, and that was trying to show Ellie that she couldn't kill without being sure if they deserved it, (big words coming from him) to stop her from going a bloodbath. It was likely a personal moment, and any other time, he would have allowed them to be alone, but there was literally a big chance that the girl was going to shoot the giant infant and jeopardize the whole mission. He needed to stop it, without alerting anyone and likely getting them dragged into another Alexis situation. And Mimaki had a plan.

Frank could hear the sound of footsteps behind him, as a voice called out. "Crossbow-man," Mimaki said, not as a way to anger Frank or give him an annoying nickname, he just genuinely didn't know his name. But, if Frank were to look at the also clearly Japanese man, he would be able to see the 'Passport' on his tails, the nine of which somehow holding it quite dexterously. Soon, however, it went to his hands, as he also gave it to Frank in an abrupt manner, much like he did with Ellie.

"...Here. You don't have a lot of weapons, so make good use of this one." Despite his tone, his eyes went to Ellie for a moment, then back to Frank. The expression was unreadable to the girl, but Frank could tell what his look was saying, maybe out of his experience, maybe out of age. Don't let the girl do this. We have people who did similar things in the past and we barely stopped them. They are this dumb. In other words, they did this sort of thing before, this group. Attacked something important, and nearly got fucked by it. Frank was right, it was an omnipotent baby who could kill them without a second thought. They were sucking up to him because what else could they do? It's not like they can go against an enemy who controls time itself.

"Apparently it's called Passport. Think it's more than a normal gun, too, if the powers of its previous owner were anything to go by." Regardless, his current focus was also on the gun, likely as a way to hide his true intention from Ellie. Not because he didn't want to give Frank the gun, what he said about him needing more firepower was truthful. It was killing two birds in one stone.

"Time Baby!" Kyou yelled out, waving his hands to be noticed more easily by the large infant. "I have decided on our wish! I believe Twilight Detection isn't useful, as we all goin' to be able to tell when Twilight shows up 'n all, as such, I wish for the Hero that is able to defeat Ganon, Twilight Resistance, and make so all of our souls and mind are too strong to be possessed by any force, and if that is beyond your power, make so they are as resistant as possible, alongside my powers coming back as a favor!"

So after a bit fo discussion with the rest of the group and a few questions to time baby, Kyou came up with the final consultative wish. The Hero who can wield the weapon against Ganon, Twilight resistance, and mental resilience strong enough to resist any sort of temptation. He can agree with the fact that twilight detection is useless unless your oblivious, it should be clear enough to tell just from the surroundings. As for the hero himself, he was honestly referring to the currently unnamed bearer, the one who isn't Ganon or link, but the one that would have been known as Zelda. He can't really complain at this point. In the end, the wish looked to be the best thing for the rest of the group.

"Look at those assholes... That... Time Baby fuck just threw us all in here to watch us hurt each other and now they're all just sucking up to him like he's some kinda god..." Ellie scoffed and shook her head. "And that Falcon guy in spandex? Just straight up went after Atreus like it was the most normal shit in the world..."

"Alright then. If you're so sure he should die, and that you can kill him, do it." He went back to staring at Time Baby. "Not the way I do things. You've got to know they deserve it. Can't doubt it for a second, or you're just murdering someone. In this case, murdering a giant god baby that might have too little control and too much freedom." His expression and tone never changed, but he meant what he said next. "If you can look him in the eye and think, without hesitating for a second, he should die, then shoot him."

Sadly that doesn't seem to be the case with Ellie, who looked as if she wanted to end time baby's life without any distinction. Hard to say what experienced has lead to this...impulsive desire to enact vengeance. The same may go with Frank, for both seem to completely ridicule the situation in some way. He might have considered sharing his warnings about those kinds of killings, but it may do nothing more than to give them a reason to antagonize the undead sorcerer. So he leaves them be.

So instead he approached Sage and one of the newcomers Fuma as they here talking about demons.

But, with Sage's question, she perked up. Well, he's been curious, but why hasn't he been told of things such as demons? Fuma was knowledgeable on this subject, so she began to explain. It should lighten her mood.

"DEMONS CAN BE MANY TYPES, DEPENDING ON THE WORLD'S LORE. THOUGH I HAD STAYED IN GENSOKYO, FUMA LIVED IN A DIFFERENT TIME PERIOD 3,000+ YEARS AGO. IT MEANT THAT MY LORE, MY BOOK, IS FOREIGN, AND I'M ANCIENT."

To that, she showed Sage the Goetia. She opens it, for he can see the many pages of these demons.

"IN THIS CASE, THIS IS ARS GOETIA, OR KNOWN AS, LESSER KEY OF SOLOMON. THIS IS A BOOK FROM MY CREATOR. THERE IS ORIGINALLY 72 DEMONS, LIKE YOU SEE IN THE BOOK'S CONTENTS.

THAT IS WHY FUMA SPEAKS THE WAY SHE DOES CURRENTLY- A SIGN TO SUMMON THEM IS BY DECISION OF WHICH OF THESE DEMONS COULD FULFILL THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK."

He hasn't focused much on sage's own questions about demons, mostly because the demons from his own world may not fit the broader definition. Agin, he just learned a bit about one of few monotheistic religions so this is still somewhat new territory for him. As for Fuma's words, well...it may as well be an example of what he talks about.72 demons, each with their own armies, all contained in this tome, this Ars Goetia. By one King Solomon. All for the sake of extending a legacy for 3000 years. Yet she lives in the very place that he ASSUMES the two scarlet sisters reside. He may as well ask that much.

"I may as well ask Fuma, You said you lived in...Gensokyo if I am not mistaken. My knowledge of this sort of history is still quite slim, but i assume it was the...modernization of your world that made you "pack your bags" so to speak and leave your former place?" He asked her.

[Ellya]

Ellie was surprised when Frank actually shoved a weapon in her hands. The thing felt heavy, much heavier than the bows she was used to. Nevertheless, she took some time to get used to its weight, raising it up and finding a comfortable position for it, not aiming at anyone in particular yet.

She then looked at Frank, trying to read his expression. Yeah, this probably was a test. She also didn't know if Frank would be pissed at her if she failed it. Mimaki approached and offered Frank the gun that was left behind, and he didn't even seem to notice Ellie. Was she sure that Time Baby should die? Fuck yeah. Was she sure that she could kill him? Probably not. But someone always has to take the first shot.

Ellie waited until the very moment the wish was fulfilled, then raised up the crossbow, high, feeling the heavy weapon swaying in her arms as she did her best to aim it at Time Baby. She knew that her plan was very obvious now, and that she had to fire very soon before anyone could stop her. She took just a second to try and steady her aim, took a breath, exhaled slowly...

"Suck on this, you giant baby fuck!"​

... with that amazing one-liner, fired the crossbow, releasing a bolt zipping straight towards the giant floating baby.

Mimaki's eyes widened when Ellie did what he hoped the most she wouldn't. She shot Time Baby.

"What the hell are you doing, you idiot?!" The Kitsune yelled out, and before Ellie could do anything else, the creature jumped behind her back at great speeds. Her head was slammed down in the ground with great force, but not enough to break anything. His arms held her own, and his legs standing behind her back to stop her from moving. The Kitsune's strength was naturally, more than likely, greater than the teen's, making her unable to move. Not only was Ellie risking making an enemy out of the entirety of the Time Cops, but she was also risking getting them all killed by an omnipotent baby. There was that look on his face, the same look he gave Alexis, his fangs popping out of his mouth as he held her head down strongly in the ground.

Meanwhile, Mimaki only gave a stare at Frank. A stare that said a thousand words. If we die here, it's you two's fault.

 

[CutieBoop]

Fuma

Orbeck's curiosity led to another distraction of mind. Fuma appreciates it. It will certainly grow the conversation she has with Sage, adding him to the group.

"

YOU CAN SAY IT WAS MODERNIZATION AND THE NEED TO SHARE THE GOETIA'S KNOWLEDGE. FUMA'S TRAVELLED FOR LONG UNTIL REACHING GENSOKYO IN THE WARRING SENGOKU PERIOD. WHILE FUMA'S ORIGINAL DUTY WAS TO CONTINUE SOLOMON'S LEGACY, I'VE BECOME COMFORTABLE WITH THE FUUMA CLAN. IT WAS LIKE A SECOND FAMILY. HOWEVER, MOST HAVE PASSED AWAY, AND FUMA CAN IMAGINE THEM AS STARS. TO END WARS, TO REUNITE WITH THE FALLEN, TO MAKE THE LEGACY CONTINUE EVEN IN TRAVELS, THOSE WERE MY MISSIONS. NEZU AKITSU, THE KITSUNE, WAS THERE AS WELL, BUT HER EVIL IS ALREADY SEALED BY FUMA. ... NOT THAT SHE'D DO ANYTHING WHILE FUMA IS AWAY.

"

Fuma began to picture the many travels, and how she didn't really tire her journey until the arrival through Gensokyo in her Eidetic memory. It was a important part of life, and a way for Fuma to grow. Another set of pictures showed Fuma looking at the stars. Not all of them were about the Fuuma clan, but it was a habit that Fuma enjoyed. The photographic memories end there, for now, for she would be open for more questions about her history and such.

Atreus
Atreus had her eye on Ellie as she was handed the crossbow by Frank. He wasn't exactly sure what her plan was here, and just stood still to watch her longer. Mimaki, who had just helped Atreus out, went to talk to Frank and Ellie, and that's when the girl suddenly raised her weapon and shot what looked like a smaller arrow at the giant floating Time Baby. "Ellie, no!" He screamed out, not knowing why she'd do anything so rash.

In just an instant, Mimaki slammed Ellie down into the ground. It looked painful, and considering that this guy was strong enough to go up against his Father, he must be pretty strong. At that point, the boy did not even care about the outcome with time baby. He ran up to Mimaki and Ellie, pulled his bow and drew, aiming straight at Mimaki.

"Stop it, don't hurt her!" he cried out in her defense. He definitely didn't agree with what Ellie did and was confused as to why she did it, but right now, Mimaki was threatening his friend's life, and he was ready to defend her.

"I'm not!" Mimaki screamed out to Atreus, not even looking at him. What he was doing wouldn't hurt Ellie, at least not a lot. He wasn't adding a lot of pressure when holding her back and arms, but it was enough that she couldn't hold back. What he was doing wasn't exactly threatening to her life, but it was clear Atreus wasn't going to notice this at first glance. "I'm not going to kill or hurt her Atreus! But this is an enemy which we can't defeat!" He spoke out to the boy- although, when Atreus came, he seemed to have released the grip on Ellie the slightest bit, likely calming down- the more strong grip on Ellie and him pinning her down was done on instinct, it seemed.

"He's stronger then all of us, Atreus, and has an entire army, if he takes offense and decides to kill us, we're done." His voice calmed down the smallest bit when talking to the boy after a bit- a moment to breathe, to stop yelling. Likely due to the fact Atreus was so young and considered Ellie a friend. But this Time Baby was able to imprison his father of all people. This should tell fully well of his powers, alongside the wishes. "I understand where she's coming from, she's mad at him for forcing us to fight, but this isn't an enemy we can overpower, at least I doubt it is," And if they all died here, the Multiverse was done. Ganon was going to win, all because of one girl couldn't control her anger and pride.

"I'm not going to hurt or kill her, trust me, but if we die, the Multiverse is finished, Atreus. I'll hold her less aggressively, just put the bow down, we don't need more people shooting one another." Not to speak it likely wouldn't hurt Mimaki- at most, it'd just annoy him, but he wasn't going to hurt another kid. It doesn't feel good. He already feels terrible doing this with Ellie, but she's being an idiot. She's threatening the group, and she needs to be held down.

Frank Castle

He accepted the gun from Mimaki with a stoic nod. It was pretty clear that Mimaki wanted Frank to take the crossbow from Ellie, but all Mimaki's look got in turn was a nearly unreadable stare. The old man looked back to Time Baby in wordless silence, waiting for Ellie to make her decision. Out of the corner of his eye, Frank saw her raise the weapon to her shoulder. It was pretty clear she didn't know how to use the weapon itself but was at least familiar enough with weapons of its kind to quickly adapt. He saw the weapon steady, heard her take a breath. The telltale exhale as she squeezed the trigger.

Next thing he heard was the twang of the crossbow. Shit. Whether or not the bolt was stopped was irrelevant; the damage was almost certainly already done. Someone was slammed to the ground next to him. He turned to face the sound, and was unsurprised to see that Mimaki had pinned the girl to the floor. He stared down at Ellie, but didn't raise his weapon. She had made her choice, just like he did when he went to shoot Kratos. This was the consequence. Maybe they'd all die, too. Maybe just her. Maybe Time Baby would just flick the bolt aside and move on like nothing happened. He didn't know. No way to know until it happened. He made no move to help, didn't smile, didn't frown, didn't nod or shake his head. Sometimes, the call is too much. Sometimes, people just lose so much that that drive is all that's left. If unchecked, that call would be unfocused. It could drive someone to lash out at anyone with murderous intent. Maybe that's what was happening here. Maybe Ellie felt that call. The same one he did, the same he'd seen in others before. If so, there was no going back.

Ellie needed to train that rage on something. It didn't have to be a personal war like his, but something, or else it'd boil over and destroy anything she could ever hope to have with anyone. Of course, that didn't matter if they all died. Finally, he looked up from Ellie at Mimaki, who was staring at him yet again. As before, there was very little to read in his face. Certainly not remorse or fear, because the old man felt none for his actions here. Ellie had made the choice herself, all he did was put a weapon in her hand, and in much the same way he wasn't sure it was the right choice, he wasn't convinced it was the wrong choice. Sometimes, the right thing was stupid. His head turned to Atreus. The kid had rushed to Ellie's defense. It was well-intentioned, but misguided. From what he had seen back in both arena fights, if Mimaki wanted to kill Ellie, he already would have done it. "Atreus, put the bow down. Please." There was almost a resignation to his voice. Time to face the music.

Vauban prime
Status: standing by once more, and foiling murderous revenge.
condition: normal.
​

So after taking the blunt to Thrasher and Smasher, Vauban was resting close by the time baby, he...didn't;t relay says much about the wish. Again, most of what he could wish for may as well be selfish in the face of an evil wizard. he initially thought about the idea of wishing for a railjack, with the potential for it to have the means to travel across the multiverse...but it was a BIG stretch he was making when it came to the logic on the very void energy that powers it. yes, he is still able to use transference even when in a universe that is not his own. but it's still a big leap in logic. He could say the same about his little..."joke" to umbra looking back at it now. He thinks of one thing but does something elce, Was it the grandpa nickname that Umbra's operator gave? And it wasn't that he was trying to treat him any differently. Was he? Was it because he had Umbra beside him? Or was it something else he lacked knowledge of. Umbra deserves an apology on that.

Ellie waited until the very moment the wish was fulfilled, then raised up the crossbow, high, feeling the heavy weapon swaying in her arms as she did her best to aim it at Time Baby. She knew that her plan was very obvious now, and that she had to fire very soon before anyone could stop her. She took just a second to try and steady her aim, took a breath, exhaled slowly...

"Suck on this, you giant baby fuck!"​

... with that amazing one-liner, fired the crossbow, releasing a bolt zipping straight towards the giant floating baby.

Then as the wish was granted...That Ellie girl tried to do something stupid. Why would you shot the guy that can grant wishes? He has no idea what this time baby guy has to do with her, but this was the best outcome. At the very least, be glad they were not dealing with Rathuum, where they EXPECT death to appease the Grineer...and the previously mentioned Kela De Thaym.

Vauban tried to do what he can to take the hit, but no matter how fast he bullet jumped into the path of the arow...he would ultimately miss the mark. Unable to do much more, he stands firm as he prepares for another conflict.

Bayonetta and Double Trouble
Bayonetta pouted disappointedly as the buzzer rang out throughout the stadium, disrupting the exciting fight between her and the Force Commander.She'd just managed to break through his shield, too. It was quite disappointing, but this was far from being the umbra witch's last fight. She smirked as he stopped his hammer mid-swing and coldly told her that this would not be the final time they'd be in conflict. "Getting desperate, are we? I'm not one to play hard to get, so I'm not sure why you're bothering." She purred, clearly taking his threat a lot less seriously then he did.

Now that the free-for-all fight was over, another challenge awaited them all. Two opponents for all of them, one robot and one tattooed man. The robot deemed them all on the naughty list, launching off its Christmas-themed weaponry. Bayonetta would've happily dropped a playful line about her own naughtiness before making a few dents in the machine, but then she saw the boy with the bow and arrows get thrown aside by the tattooed man, apparently being the child's father. Bayonetta's smirk immediately dissipated, the event clearly drudging up her own complicated relationship with her own father. Two images sprung to mind, conflicting yet somehow still the same person.

A man with half a golden mask, peacock feathers adorning his lavish outfit, fatherly love twisted into a desire full of madness, to reset the world utilizing both him and herself. The one she'd fought to the death without mercy, thought a madman. A manipulator who'd led her right into where he wanted her, used her younger self as a damn pawn.

Then there was the man who'd worn the identity of the Masked Lumen, fought for a path of vengeance he'd been tricked onto, but still held his heart in the right place on. The man who'd hunted Loki relentlessly, thinking he'd been the one to draw her mother's blood. The man who'd been furious upon learning he'd been tricked, the man who'd summoned Omne alongside her, the man who'd sacrificed himself by absorbing Loptr's soul.

She'd been a grown adult when she had to contend with her father, fighting him on not perfectly balanced, but relatively equal grounds. Atreus? He was a boy, clearly far from any strength his father had. The way he put him down, threw him aside, it disgusted her. It was a shared sentiment, people piling onto Kratos and beating him down to nigh-death relatively quickly. It gave her hope in her companions, honestly. After the warrior was knocked down, the robot went down quickly after, unfortunately barring her from joining in on the brawl. It was disappointing, but after the courage and righteous fury, she'd seen, maybe not as much as it could've potentially been. They were offered a wish for completing the trials, one of which they could string three things together for. She could see across the group that maybe for a second, they'd considered something selfish before floating back to the group-wide advantage of Twilight resistance or some other useful boon. The umbra witch understood, Bayonetta herself had taken a moment to mentally browse a few things that she'd wish for, had it just been hers. A few dead loved ones she'd bring back, a few allies she wished she still stood with she'd want by her side again, it was all so tempting, yet so immoral.

She silently followed the discussion of what the group would wish for, nodding silently at suggestions like the hero who could defeat Ganondorf and twilight resistance. They needed every advantage in a fight like this. Eventually, the half-oni wished for resistance against mind control, resistance against the twilight, and the hero they needed. She had seen the light show in the tent by the boy with the fire powers to know that the first was probably for the better of the group, and the latter two just made natural sense in their context. Bayonetta wouldn't have worded it exactly as he had chosen to, but it was still a solid wish.

What she didn't agree with, however, was the girl shooting a crossbow bolt at the head of Time Baby. Usually, the witch would be all for fighting god-like beings for being forced into an arena fight and other such things, but this wasn't just about her. There were people here who likely couldn't handle the consequences of the whole debacle. She was already relatively close to Time Baby, making the quick summon of Malphas's wings to rapidly fly up to try and catch the bolt in its tracks a short but breath-holding one filled with tension. Regardless if she succeeded in catching it, she gave one deeply annoyed stare at Ellie. "Is this how you treat your hosts?" She spat, though not looking as angry as she could've been. She didn't disapprove of the fact that she'd shot at Time Baby, just the fact that messing with god-like omnipotent being when there were bystanders who would have to deal with said messing with didn't seem like a fantastic idea.

Double Trouble would've raised their eyebrows if the gentleman's form had any to raise. Settle this...with chess. Well, they'd certainly done weirder things for a role before. Neatly sitting down on the side of the board with the white pieces, they took their first turn.

As soon as they looked up from the board after that, they nearly flinched at how much time had somehow managed to mass in what had felt like a moment to them. The free-for-all was over, along with a couple of other dozen things. Well, if this fellow really had managed been informed of his impersonation by the universe, that did make some kind of twisted sense. Making a mental note to maybe not mess with this gentleman after this chess game, they gestured to Benedict for him to take his turn.

A Deity that killed other Deities? Sage's mind had instantly gone to Alexis. She seemed to do so to keep unhinged Deities from destroying her own world... At least it's what he had assumed after both hearing more about it and actually interacting with the mind-chorus. Certainly, having them loose would have been problematic. But, he couldn't say it was the same case to the man the other group had fought. Was there anything righteous about what He had been doing? Actually, why was He even here in the first place? Had Time Baby also kept Him captive for alleged 'Time crimes'? The more he thought about it, the more questions came to mind; Questions that he didn't think would ever get answered. Oh well, it wasn't as if they were important anyways, it was just curiosity.

He had to agree with Fuma though, that definitely had looked scary, even from a safe distance.

The demoness' answer to his question had been rather cryptic and mildly frustrating. It was essentially 'demon can mean many things depending on the world they come from', which answered... nothing. With an unsure expression in his face, the pyromancer's disgruntlement was small, but quite noticeable. Still, he very respectfully paid attention to her every word, even if wasn't exactly what he had asked for. The presence of a book, the 'Ars Goetia' as the woman had called it, had reminded him of the Book of Creation in a way. The Goetia had all this knowledge pertaining 72 demons and such, while the Book of Creation was a compendium of all of the Magical mythos of Saraiiho since its conceiving. The only thing it did not have was actual Magic applications. That was what Rune Arrays are for and it was more oral tradition than documented. You had to get someone to teach you, then you could teach someone else and so on. Well, only inside the Clans of course. But that meant that each Clan had their own ways of stringing Arrays and their Effects, which was neat to think about!

And that was it.
Really, the young man had no idea of what to say next... This, had kind of sounded like a power exchange, so maybe he should follow up with an explanation on what he could do? He really didn't know...

"Uhhh... O-okay.", awkwardness was at an all-time high as he glanced around him as if looking for something. Probably words, not that he had found any to give, "That's cool, I uhh, I guess that sounds pretty cool..?", he wanted to mentally slap himself right about now.

For a moment, there was just a tense, odd silence between the two. The Descendant really didn't know where to take the interaction at all and he felt a bit bad that he wasn't able to give a proper reaction after being assaulted with so many new ideas, in such a strange way. Fuma was certainly a weird one, Sage wasn't sure if he would ever get used to the way she spoke. It was a terrible match for his simple-mindedness, he was bound to be confused by it practically all of the time... Like, he couldn't even say that he had gotten much out of that!

Before he could have found what to say next, however, Kyou seemed to be ready to make the wish. It was difficult not to hear it, given that it was begin shouted upwards at the floating Deity of Time. It was most likely that everyone had heard it, loud and clear. Obviously, having not partaken any part on the discussion, the very first sentence kind of made sense but also didn't. A hero to defeat Ganondorf? Where had the Oni even got that information from? But hey, uhhh helpful, probably. Sooo, nice? The second sentence seemed proxy. They had seen the effects of twilight beforehand when Ruby died, it was no doubt that no one wanted to suffer a similar fate... That thing was, really dangerous. But then came the final request, and it could only make him extremely conflicted.
A clause to straighten their minds to resist possession. Sage knew who this was for, the other didn't even have to glance at him afterwards. But all Kyou had been met with was a mix of shock and apprehension. After he had jerked his head towards the group with a sudden 'wait, what?!', the typical question wanted to make it out: Are you sure? Sure that he wanted to spend something so important on someone like him??? It, wasn't as if he didn't appreciate it, by the Gods, no! He did, a lot, it was also a huge relief but... He just couldn't accept it.

Maybe he would have said something, if it wasn't for Killua. It would be one thing if he had been the only one with this problem, but for once it wasn't. And while he was extremely conflicted when it came to himself, he didn't feel like denying it because of the other. No one deserved this kind of life. If it would help Killua too, then, he'd handle the bittersweetness of it for somebody else's sake.

It would just take... a while... to cope with the idea properly.
He just hoped it didn't go to waste, in some way...

Bothered, doubtful and melancholic, the pyromancer had then forcefully tuned-out from the rest of the group entirely. He didn't feel like thinking about or watching it any further. It was a weird mix of feelings that he couldn't quite make out, except for knowing that he didn't like how it felt right now. Instead he put his focus back on Fuma, coming to learn that Orbeck had also joined them by the side and asked her something. He hadn't paid attention to what, but her reply had mentioned Clan members passing away and becoming stars?

"Oh? Are Stars also Souls where you come from? Does your world have a Reincarnation Cycle as well?", he had chimed in, still somewhat shaken, but doing his best to not let it show too much, using of a normal casual conversation tone, "Also... well, I didn't really get much of what you said before... But I guess it kinda makes sense? But then, why do others keep using the word 'demon' like it's supposed to mean something really bad? Because, when you put it like that, this doesn't sound all that accurate..."

The Time Baby would look to Kyou with a firm nod of his head. "THEN IT SHALL BE DONE." He said, as he rose his hands and his eyes began to glow a bright blue. A light began to fill the room, and as he did so, you all felt yourselves becoming stronger - both physically and mentally. It was a strange, unique feeling, but it almost felt like you'd been essentially powered up. With the orb containing the time wish nearly depleted, Time Baby continued to hold up his hands, power coursing through him and you all in general. As the wish was (presumably) fulfilled, Ellie rose her bow and fired an electric arrow right towards Time Baby. Jason, having noticed Ellie's plan, began to run towards her, his arm stretched outwards.

"KID, WAIT--!!"

But it was too late. Despite everyone's best efforts, the bow shot forward, zipping through the air, right towards Time Baby's head. Time itself seemed to slow down in that moment as you all were helpless to watch the bolt skyrocket towards him...

And then, a bright light filled the room, blinding you all.

And you all had heard a single shout fill your ears.

"HIIIYAH!!"



thunk.

When the light had faded, and you could all see again, your vision was immediately pointed forwards. And as you gazed forward, a new figure clouded your view. One that resembled the silhouette Time Baby had shown you. The hero, clad in a green tunic, armed with the Blade of Hero's Bane and the shield of a hero.

A shield which had been promptly used to deflect the arrow from Time Baby, instead shooting it upwards, right towards the ceiling. As it exploded in the air above you, the Hero of Twilight himself gazed upon you, and sword and shield in hand. He dared not utter a word towards you all, instead letting the sword and shield speak for itself.

Link had joined the fight.
