As the fiery monstrosity charged and reared its mace, Takoizu boosted below, stopping between his legs before sliding on her frictionless energy-shielded knees and aiming her M6D at some of the less armored portions of his inner thigh and firing, sending armor-piercing, high explosive rounds whistling through the air. Meanwhile, Takoizu kept an eye on her surroundings and HP, observing both the battle and what her teammate would do next.

Like always, Dante was ever the smartass and the showoff, but right now Isaac was glad to see that Dante had met up with them. The sooner the better, as the whole was going to be razed to the ground very soon.

"More like she found me. This is Lujuria. Lujuria, Dante. We don't have a lot of time, so we might need to cut the introductions short.", Isaac said to the two in his company.

Streets of London | Jack and Mag's current Location

As Mag tumbled and regained her footing, Jack was already upon her once again within striking distance in the span of a quarter of a second. Wasting little time and fury, Jack took both blades and formed a "V" with them before slicing forward, attempting to decapitate the warframe. If she did not avoid this, then she would surely die.

The scientist chuckled as Raven voiced his desire to spar with Lily, prompting him to quizzically rub his chin as he responded.

"Now that would be an interesting fight to observe. Our finest S-IV would certainly give you a challenge.", The scientist said to Raven.

Meanwhile, the people in the observation deck would have seen Lily cleaning up any survivors with lethal machine-like precision, her motions were like watching art being created. When the last of the Covenant had fallen into a puddle of its own blood, Lily stood in the midst of her genocide, calmly awaiting her next orders.

"Marvelously done, Lily! I actually think that's the fastest you've completed the course!", one of the head-scientists said.

Alice smiled as she watched Flandre cheerfully create her own ice cream dishes. Despite the fact that she was so far away from home in a place she barely understood, she kept a very positive attitude and seemed to be catching on quite quickly, much to the crimson Spartan's relief. As for Cole, well, she would need to have a word with him, and to that end she turned to look face him and spoke.

"Hey Cole, mind if we have a chat?", Alice asked the electric superhuman, giving a light twitch of her shoulders in the form of a shrug.





Washington D.C | Skies of Washington

Upon seeing the chaos in the city, Daniel knew that it was just about time to spring into action. Just as their satellites picked up, there was a massive tower in the heart of the city and a massive creature flying around it. Luckily, the Longswords flying behind the main assault force in the sky would be able to deal with it soon, and soon they broke away from the formation and took off high into the sky with a few Broadswords in tow. Meanwhile, many of the other Broadswords, Hornets, and Wasps took point and focused their fire at the hostiles below, clearing a path for the Pelicans to drop both Red and Green Team. It took but a single second for both teams to jump from the pelicans, and not even a moment later, they were already firing at the remaining hostiles below, some even crushing the skeletons as they landed.

Meanwhile, Daniel lightly smiled beneath his helmet as he saw both teams land safely. Now, it was his team's turn, though they weren't aiming for the streets, they were going straight for the tower. Now that the time was right, the pelican that Gold Team were housed inside boosted towards the tower at full speed, and once it had gotten within range, Gold Team took the grappling guns they had brought along and hopped out of the Pelican before firing at the tower and getting themselves anchor points to climb up. Now that the hard part was over, they just had the task of climbing into one of the windows.

Add was feeling quite proud of himself for having managed to finally gather such useful data, but the moment Flowey spoke up about needing something more than just time travel, you could practically hear the record scratch to a stop as Add quickly got a look of 'Oh crap he's right' on his face.

Though that look on his face only lasted for a minute, he flat out facepalmed in response. "DAMMIT!!! You're right! I've gotten so used to living in this world, that I forgot Time Travel alone won't fix things... But you just said that you might know where we can find something that could help...?" Add spoke quite angrily at first before his mood went to a more curious one as he approached Flowey.



Gensokyo

Flying off into the sky thanks to the jetpack, Plasma Kirby had a determined look on his face as he flew after Marx.

Dodging the lasers and bolts back and forth as fast as he can, Kirby was in for quite a wild ride as Marx showed no signs of stopping. This was going to be tough, as this was the first time in a while Kirby was in such a heated battle. In fact the most heated battle he had in recent memory was at a all-you-can-eat buffet, and that was more like a curbstomp in Kirby's favor. Either way Kirby continued to try and dodge Marx's shots, all the while storing a charge of plasma that was growing more powerful as indicated by the crown of plasma he had on his head flaring up more intense by the second.

Dante just smirked and shook his head as he put his hands on his hips, clearly being a bit more teasing as Isaac said that Lujuria found him instead. Only thing Dante could think was...

"Well if a total babe found you, guess you must be one hell of a chick magnet. Safe to say I'm surprised about that." Dante replied jokingly as he then listened to what Isaac said about not having much time to scout the city.

Hearing this Dante got a bit more of a serious look on his face as he spoke.

"If you're looking for any survivors, I didn't really find any here, and trust me. I've been in this city close to around the time this mess started. Most people were either already evacuated, or became undead monster chow in the mess that's going on outside. Either way I don't think there would be too much survivors at this point." Dante spoke, giving his honest two-cents into this situation. Compared to before with his joking, cocky attitude, he seemed quite a bit more honest. Taking the situation more seriously.



Streets of London | Jack and Mag's current Location

Jack was quickly approaching, in fact he was already within striking distance of Mag. If Mag didn't act immediately, something horrible would happen...

That's when Mag did something quite unexpected. Using up the last of her current energy, the Mag forced both palms forward at Jack, releasing a very heavy and powerful magnetic pulse at Jack that pushed him back a little. At that moment Mag had quickly used her magnetizing powers to polarize Jack once again, and within a short amount of time after doing that, she had released a powerful enough magnetic pulse of an equal polarity. After all matching polarities don't entirely mix well. Which this had caused her to get sent flying back quite a good distance, at the cost of her current energy reserves.

This little stunt of Mag's managed to get her away in time safely, she quickly rolled as soon as she hit the ground before getting back onto her feet and going into a run in the direction of the woods in hopes of losing Jack, or at least slowing him down. That was when she began to send a comms signal to her ship... A distress signal asking for extraction.

Hearing that the scientist also agreed with him about Lily giving him a good challenge now seemed to just fire up Raven even more. In fact saying Raven was excited would be an understatement, in fact his excitement could be seen in his arm as some of the vents on the side opened up to release small bursts of heat as well as a few sparks. Even though he might not explicitly show it through emotions, his body language in of itself was a visible sign of his excitement.

The first few shots did some damage, however most were seemingly blocked by some kind of magical shield as the Lord swiveled his legs with surprising speed, hoping to catch the half-youkai with a devastating mace-swing as they came out the other end, a few tons of molten metal careening against the floor towards her.

"The mask! Shoot the mask, Takoizu!" HP called out. Pieces of the ceiling began to collapse, magical fires beginning to sprout up across the arena, paired with several undead who were caught in it as well. HP readied his sword, and movedlike water, their holy blade slicing through rotted and perpetually burning flesh and blackened bones, the remains falling to the floor with a clatter.

The hail continued to and fro, a look of annoyance becoming apparent on Marx's face. He focused further, firing out another set of lasers which homed in on Kirby's round form.

"You really don't know when to give up, do you? You little marshmellow." Marx nearly spat. "I've been practicing, training, taking down foes bigger and better than you, making a good life for myself and Mags!"

"Yet you just don't know when to DIE." Marx growled. His barrage became more focused, aiming on trapping Kirby in a limited space to make the homing lasers even deadlier.

The smile on Flowey's face grew imperceptively larger.

"Why, of course! Consider it my rent to help you! Now, have you ever heard of a place called the Inventory? Fancy place, located in it's own little pocket dimension. If anyone's got the tech for dimensional travel, or even something you can expand further, it'd be there. And even better, the people there are busy with some other things all the way across the world. Sooooo... we could just pop in there, get what we need, and get out!" Flowey spoke with their mock cheerfulness.

"So, what do ya' say, Mr. Add? Wanna try and get home?" Flowey asked, almost assuredly knowing the answer.

Calling the trident back to her paws, Toriel looked at obe of the nests "Trying to make the centipide fall on its back will need quite the effort to push it, as for the eyes.." she was having a possible idea "We can distract it so it looks at one of us while the others send ranged attacks to the eyes." she offered.

[Tewi_Inaba]

Washington D.C | Temen-ni-gru

Both Frisk and Papyrus had sat back and given the fight a bit of thought. In truth, this was like a giant puzzle that they could't afford to fail. Fortunately they have a few puzzle pieces already, they knew the beast could fly, and they knew of a few possible weak points. Her mother seemed to have the right idea, if one of them could get the beast's attention, the others would have a fair chance to strike, but not just any attack would do. After all Frisk still thought and hoped that they would be able to defeat the creature without having to kill it. If they could immobilize the creature, maybe that would be enough? Frisk looked to Papyrus, the skeleton looked back. After a moment of looking each other in the eye, they seemed to come to some sort of understanding. they both gave the other a nod and then Frisk took out her phone once more.

This time the child took out the tough gloves, she knew there was a possibility that touching the creature would electrocute her, so any protection she could give herself was needed. She also took out the manly bandanna and covered most of her face with it, leaving rooms for the eyes. While the skin of her legs were still mostly exposed, this was about as much coverage as she was going to get without puling out "the big guns" Now that she was fully prepared, she pressed the yellow button on her phone and activated her jet-pack once again. She used it sparingly in a short burst to quickly get up to a chandler which she then latched onto, luckily it was sturdy enough to hold her very light weight. Once she was up there she cupped her mouth with one gloved hand and shouted down towards where the nest was. *ACT, Taunt* "HEY GIGAPEDE! I WON'T TAKE ANY DAMAGE THIS TURN!" she called out, challanging and taunting the creature at the same time.

Meanwhile Papyrus seemed deadly focused. If the demon went for the child like they were hoping, Papyrus would quickly strike him with his blue attack which should render him unable to fly, at least for a little while. Attacking the demon while he was belly front, trying to eat the little human seemed like the most effective method of taking him down. Although if he were to fail... no that's IMPOSSIBLE. THE GREAT PAPYRUS COULD NEVER FAIL! now when the stakes were so high. No matter what, he wouldn't let the demon harm Frisk.. with his blue attack at the ready, the skeleton waited for his moment to strike.

Lujuria was more than a little curious about what had been going on. From the sound of it, it seemed like this sort of thing happens all the time in this city. If that were the case, surely their had to be a way to stop it? Maybe evacuate the residence until things blew over and it was safe to return? she would have to get more information about everything that was happening before she could really find a way to help. "Sounds like an epidemic." she finally spoke o this new Dante person. "But there has to be some way to prevent this right?"

Paris, France | Wily's Lab

Seeing that she had even slightly upset the doctor, Aphlys took this chance to retreat back to her research, taking the food she had gotten with her back to her little room. "Okay, hang in there sir." she told him before returning to her work. Alphys knew the secrets the doctor needed, but it wasn't something that could be so easily taught. Dr. Wily had spent most of his life as a character predetermined to be the villein, an evil, sometimes emotionless character to give the heroes something to fight against. It made sense that he wouldn't have learned this little secret within his predetermined experiences. However now that he was free to make his own dissensions, Alphys was sure he'd figure out what he was doing wrong, he just needed time to discover it for himself.

Dante turned to Lujuria when she spoke up. Seems like she's a little bit in the dark about the situation at hand, as such he decided to give as simple of a rundown as possible...

"Sorry girl, but this entire city is already in an epidemic. An epidemic of the undead. All I remember was something big happening deeper within the city, then a great power came over it. After that undead started attacking everything Streets have been swarmed with undead ghouls for a while now. So no real way of preventing it. We just have to look for any survivors and get them out of here before things get burned." Dante answered, sounding a bit unsure of himself for once as he turned to Isaac who has more knowledge of the situation at hand. "To be blunt here, I'm not the one you should be asking. I may have been fighting the undead for all the night, but I don't know all the details. When I finally ran into your boyfriend there, he seemed to know more about what's happening. So I'd ask him instead."



Washington D.C | Temen-ni-gru

Julius was busy trying to formulate a plan with Toriel, one that'd help them deal with this beast. He was agreeing with Toriel's idea, but the question is... who would do the attacking, and who would do the distracting? Papyrus and Toriel seemed to have range on their side, while despite Julius's good throwing arm, he wouldn't be the most reliable in ranged conflict. So thinking about it deeply, he then was about to suggest that he and Frisk would do the distracting. However... Papyrus and Frisk were already on the move.

Frisk managed to get high up due to her jetpack, and had began taunting the beast. All the while Papyrus was on guard. Julius was clearly a bit on edge about this, as he wasn't sure if the plan would work or not. However after a mere 3 minutes, the beast inside the nest let out a loud ear-piercing screech as it began to slither out of one of the openings closer to the ceiling where Frisk was.

The Gigapede came flying out at a rather slow pace, at just the right height to get the child. With it's body twisting and turning as it began to open it's mouth as it slowly approached Frisk. Seeing this Julius readied his whip as he was about to jump into action.

At least they know one thing about this creature. The beast's nests seemed to be interconnected. So if it were to go into one of the web-covered openings in the walls, it could then come out of any of the other openings.

Fortunately just as the Gigapede began to emerge, a small blue heart like symbol appeared on the center of it's body, and just as it happened it began to quickly descend. While it descended it twisted and turned as it seemingly panicked. Papyrus's blue attack appears to be successful.


___________________________


Meanwhile with Midna, Palutena, Pit, and Sans. Pit was busy returning fire with Palutena's Bow as he quickly strafed left and right to avoid shots from the Enigma's. Combined with Palutena's magic barrier protecting herself and Sans, and Midna's surprisingly effective combat style. The Enigma's soon fell one by one... eventually there was only one left, and it looked damaged and broken as it stumbled about on the top most platform.

Seeing this Pit prepared to finish off the poor creature with a well aimed shot from the bow he wielded. However... suddenly a very small, tiny white bone appeared from behind the Enigma and tapped it on the back of the head gently. Causing the last of the demonic archer statues to fall off the platform and onto the ground below where it promptly shattered...

Upon it's death Palutena and Pit lowered their weapons and magic as the room quickly shook... The central pillar in the room began to twist and turn as a set of spiraling stairs began to jut out from the pillar. Not only that but the red spiritual energy surrounding the door they came in from, and the door at the top of the newly formed set of stairs had faded. Leaving the door's unlocked...

Seeing this Pit and Palutena looked at each other, before turning to Sans who was previously standing behind the Goddess. However now he seemed to have left in his mysterious ways. Either way Palutena turned to Midna and spoke.

"That was impressive skill you showed Midna. Anyways down to business. If we are done here, it seems as if the doors have opened. So let's proceed. I'd like to try and get to the bottom of this tower as soon as possible." Palutena spoke as she then proceeded up the stairs. Pit on the other hand seemed to have stood to attention as he followed his beloved Goddess up the stairs.... Leaving Midna, and a rather strange looking plaque on the side of the pillar written in some strange language. The plaque had a odd aura to it... As if it was begging for Midna to reach out and place her hand on it... but why? It didn't feel as if it was some sort of trap. In fact it felt as if it was someone, something, trying to call out to her. Trying to tell her something important.



Paris, France

Meanwhile...

Down in the sewers of Paris, things seemed to be going rather smoothly, if not smelly. However as Carmelita and her little partner in crimesolving traveled down the sewers, the sound of something heavy and metal clanking down and locking behind them could be heard. If they were to turn around, they'd find the metal bars that were the entrance to these sewers, had slammed shot behind them. Judging by the size and age of the metal bars however. Something strong had to have slammed them shut...

Just then the sound of a splash sound in the water near the entrance could be heard... before something swimming quickly through the water dashed right past them. Due to how dark the sewers are, and how murky the water is. It was hard to see what it was.

Washington D.C | Temen-ni-gru

The moment the demon bug poked it's ugly head out of the wall again and started flying upwards towards Frisk, Papyrus let out a mighty barrage of light blue transparent bones that reached from one side of the room to the other. The damage they did to the gigapede as it moved wouldn't be anything special, but hurting the beast was never his goal, at least not with this attack. There was visible sweat atop the skeleton's skkull, showing how worried and afraid he was for the human's life, but despite his fear he carried on and did what he knew had to be done to save them. Fortunately it worked. With the Gigapede's soul now turned blue the creature fell from the sky above with roaring thud "Sit down, you'er GROUNDED!" called out Papyrs with his eyes focused, but showing great relief as well. there was also a hint of pride coming from the way he stood and the look on his skull. The human had counted on him and he didn't let her down. It was a good feeling.

Frisk had actually been recording that entire little plan of theirs, from the moment the demon came out again to it falling out of the sky and Papyrus proudly shouting that it was 'grounded'. She couldn't help but post it online with the title "Why Papyrus is so COOL!" ("I have to show this to Sans later."0 she thought as she put her phone away. With her jetpack still out, the girl held still for now in case she would be needed again, that and she didnt' know if she had enough fuel left to get back down. Luckily there were a few ways to get back down without hurting herself too badly.

Santa Cruz

The demon girl was a bit disappointed to hear the unfortunate state of the city. She knew Issac would have wanted to save as many lives as possible, but such a thing wasn't possible when you didn't know where the lives that could still be saved were in the first place. If only there were a way to track them, to snit them out. Instead of commenting on this however, the girl decided to hold to Issac's arm and teasingly push her breast against it. "You hear that? I told you we look like a couple." she said trying to cheer the man up and get his mind off the state of the city.

Now that the last creature fell in the battle, Midna took some breaths to recover "Well then, that was a good workout." she chuckled and aimed her palm to a safe wall, where the remaining ranged attacks she absorbed were launched. The twili looked at the green haired woman with a smirk "You guys aren't so bad either, we do a good team." she commented when suddenly feeling an entity calling her, the former royal looked at the source and found an odd looking plaque ("Huh.. that's strange") she thought, there was no one, but the plaque gained her attention, she could feel its call, and probably unfortunately, the more adventurous and curious part of her mind send Midna to look at the plaque as she walked towards it.

On the other side of the tower, Toriel charged her magic on the trident and threw it again, this time, the weapon got lodged on the floor beside the insect monster, an oval of fire started forming around the Gigapede. The goat wasn't done as her paws got engulfed in flames and she threw fireballs at the areas near the nests, ready to explode on her command if the creature had other tricks.

Paris, France


("The heck is that?") the inspector looked at whatever passed them in the sewer water, it was too dark to make a form, much to the fox's frustration, but she had to keep going "Come on, we are getting closer to whatever is Ice man's place." Carmelita spoke to the dragon girl, she had a flashlight on one hand and the other was free for Efina to grab it if she wanted to. If she was honest with herself, The Inspector would have let the girl be somewhere safe, but she had the feeling of trusting Efina, the little one had something bigger inside her, something strong and powerful

the dragon girl held to her mother's hand while using her other hand to cover her nose, she even seemed to be holding her breath for as long as possible between breathing, she clearly didn't want to be here, but she didn't want to leave her mother either. Occasionally she used her fire breath like a match to clear out the smell so she could actually breath without inhaling yucky sewer stench. "Do you think the smell bothers the robots?" she asked curiously.

[Kristia]

Paris, France


Carmelita couldn't help it, she just laughed at the question, it was something she enjoyed of the little dragon "It is possible, if they were built to be like us, then they probably have noses." she responded with a thoughtful look on her eyes "Then again, the criminal we are looking for is probably used to the bad smell already."

[SUSTIC]

Washington D.C | Temen-ni-gru

As Midna approached the plaque, something strange happened. It felt as if she was receiving visions of something else, or that's what it felt like. Instead visions of a shadowy, demonic figure with pillars of fire behind it flashed in her mind, and for a brief moment it seemed to be just visions... Before the spoke with one simple question.

"Why are you here...?"



Meanwhile....


As soon as the Gigapede came crashing down with a loud thud, Julius quickly followed up on Toriel's plan of attack. Leaping as high as he could into the air, which for a human was... honestly quite surprising, he then proceeded to draw several silver daggers from inside his coat. With which he quickly took aim at the sections of the Gigapede that weren't protected. Mainly the portions of it's body in between each armored segment of exoskeleton. After taking his aim, he had then threw the daggers with sharp precision. Sadly only two of the 3 daggers he had thrown managed to strike the intended spots of the Gigapede's body.

With the two daggers striking, the demonic centipede began to squirm and writhe in pain, and with it's thrashing about it ended up touching one of the fireballs that Toriel had casted out. On top of that, the Gigapede thrashed into the fire surrounding it. This was beginning to cause a lot of pain for the demon... However it was nowhere near done yet. For after it had done all that, it quickly turned to face the large windows leading out. Which weren't protected. Then it did yet another loud shriek, and released a shockwave of demonic electricity which had sent Julius crashing down onto the ground. The shockwave seemed powerful enough to disperse Toriel's flames.

That wasn't all however, as after that the beast began to twitch as the wings it had for arms had blown off the creature in a bloody fashion, and following it a series of insectoid looking legs began to jut out from the stubs where it's wings once were. With that it let out a roar before crawling out the window and out the side of the building... beginning to climb along the outer wall.




Gensokyo


Kirby tried to dodge the energy bullets as best as he could, and thankfully he managed to last long enough to finish up his charge. With his charge finished he released a powerful blast of plasma that went flying right at Marx, with said blast flying at a rather decent speed. Unfortunately for the puffball, little Kirby found himself getting trapped. His area to move was getting smaller and tighter. Soon he wouldn't be able to avoid. Either way he continued to try and dodge to the best of his power, but unfortunately Kirby wasn't able too... and as such he got struck by one of the homing lasers. Which prompted him to get knocked away from the jetpack, and prompted him to lose his Plasma copy ability.

After getting knocked back by the first homing laser, Kirby managed to recover a bit. However he was stuck in mid-air, and worst of all, free fall. Kirby had to think of something fast if he wanted to survive and beat Marx... That's when Kirby closed his eyes and opened his mouth as he began to inhale. Facing Marx's direction, he was beginning to some of the lasers, and as he the longer he continued this, the more lasers he was sucking up.

Soon it wasn't long before he had swallowed up quite a fair amount of the lasers Marx was shooting, and with that large amount stored in his cheeks he quickly released them all back at Marx in the form of a rather large star-shaped blast that began to fly right at Marx. If Marx managed to avoid the blast of plasma, then this counter-attack of Kirby's would at least be a bit harder to dodge, thus giving Kirby more time to land and retreat for the time being. Or better... seek help. That is if Marx doesn't catch onto this simple plan.

Deep down Kirby was wishing Meta-Knight was close enough nearby to help out.




Barcelona

Add listened to Flowey's explanation... and it was interesting. Interestingly tempting. The prospect of this 'Inventory' intrigued Add quite a bit. If what this flower is saying happens to be true, then there will hopefully be at least something there that could help him. Even if there wasn't anything that could help him return home, there could at least be some interesting bits of tech there... if this place exists.

Either way after a bit of time Add turned to Flowey and responded.

"I don't know if I can trust you just yet... Flowey, but if you are sure this place exists and has things that can help me.. Then so be it. Let's go." Add spoke as he snapped his fingers, and with that his invisible Nasod Armor flared up, indicating it was turned on. Not only that but his 6 dynamos flew from where they were previously, having finished what they were doing, and were now floating right behind Add.

[Tewi_Inaba]

Washington D.C | Temen-ni-gru

Seeing the Gigapede moving upwards once again, the little child boldly jumped on the creatures back and hung on tight. Papyrus, Tori and the vampire hunter had been giving the demon quite the thrashing thanks to the surprise ambush they had set up moments ago. Although it looked like the demon had some fight left in it, perhaps it was weak enough that Frisk could get it to run away. With this plan in mind she would try and stir the creature away. However she had moved a bit too soon and the beast let out a shock wave of electric energy. This put a sizable dent in Frisk's HP, knocking her down from the full 20 to just 7 in a single attack, luckily she had been using at least second rate armor or it might have been a bit more fetal. But despite the damage she took, she held tight to the beast like a cowgirl on a raging bull. "Is that all you got?" she asked the demon, more so to trick the others into thinking she wasn't hurt than it was to taunt him.

Paris, France

"Yeah well, If we run into potty man down here I'm leaving." the girl said as she imagined a toilet robot master using rather... disgusting attacks against them.

[Kristia]

Washington D.C | Temen-ni-gru

It was exhausting to summon the trident again and maintain the fire traps, Toriel's mind was focused on the task, until she saw the transition of the Gigapede's wings into legs, such action made her shiver "That's.. Disgusting." was all the goat monster said, actually trying to ignore the bile taste in her mouth. Of course things wouldn't be so easy, the human child was ridinh the creature as the latter was going outside "We need to follow them, before we lose them." She started running towards the Gigapede, internally cursing her slow speed due to her size and weight.

Meanwhile with the twili, she was confused at what the heck was going on. One minute, she was with Palutena and the other, she was in a place that was similar to the Goron mines, the heat felt similar as a bead of sweat passed along her spine.

She then heard someone, there wasn't much to get a picture of it, but the magician could feel the power, it asked her why she was here, and the former royal answered "If by here you mean a demonic tower, we are trying to see why its here, or if you mean this sauna of yours, ask the damn tablet that sent me here."

[SUSTIC]

Washington D.C | Temen-ni-gru

Just as the Gigapede had shed it's wings in turn for legs, Julius began to make a mad dash at the Gigapede... especially after seeing Frisk leap onto the demon's back. However just before Julius and Toriel could reach them... a sudden swarm of bat-like gargoyles made out of what seemed to be swirling blood came flying in in an angry swarm that quickly tackled Julius. Having sensed the holy energy of the Vampire Killer whip in his possession, must have stirred these things. Having been practically tackled by five man-sized blood gargoyles, Julius had been pushed to the ground and on his back. Despite having the means to take out these things, he was being swarmed and in turn, struggling to break free from their attacks.


_______________________

The demonic shady figure just stared at Midna as if it was trying to comprehend what it said. Then without warning a series of image flashed in Midna's mind. The visions consisted of the top of the tower. Which looked like some kind of ritual site, then flashes to what seemed to be a large cavern with a waterfall within, and behind said waterfall seemed to be an opening. These random images didn't seem to say much or give Midna much information as to what is going on. Sadly she wasn't going to get anymore information as this entire vision seemed to begin to fade...

With Palutena's voice calling out to Midna from the stairwell that Midna was going to go up before this whole vision started.

By the time Midna's vision ended, Palutena can be seen looking down the spiral stairs surrounding the pillar and calling out. "Hey Midna, are you feeling alright..?" Palutena called out down below, a little worried about Midna's sudden pause at the bottom of the stairs.

Whatever Midna had witnessed, one word echoed throughout her head...

'Sparda.'

Meanwhile outside the tower on the opposite side of the tower that the giant Gigapede was climbing up, Gold Team had managed to successfully fire their grapling hooks into the windows of what seemed to be a bit of a Library inside the tower. However just as their grappling hooks secured themselves into the stone of the building. The sound of what seemed to be similar to that of sirens of old mythology could be heard as what seemed to be angelic looking beings of golden light could be seen flying down the tower towards Gold Team... However as they grew closer their wings that surrounded their bodies as the hovered down unfolded. Revealing a hideous looking form beneath them. These were what seemed to be stereotypical 'Fallen Angels' coming down to confront these Spartan's... with malicious intent.

This wasn't looking good. Frisk knew another shock wave would be more than she could handle, and that a fall from this height would... Probably maybe possibly kill her. Well it wasn't the first time she had taken a long fall but.. there probably wasnt' a bed of golden flowers at the bottom of this tower to save her. In an act of desperation, Frisk shook her hips, listening to see how much fule was still sloshing around inside her jet pack. There wasn't too much left but maybe... The child stood up, holding to the creature with her hands and waited for a moment when she could stand straight without falling. Eventually her time came and she took off running up the creature,s body. She springboard off the demon's head nd jumped as high as she could, activating her jet pack at the peak of her jump to propel her just a bit further.

The child only just barely managed to grab hold of an open ledge on the tower at the top of her rocket jump. It wasn't easy, but she managed to hold on long enough to swing herself up high enough, eventually gaining enough of a grip on the tower to pull herself up to a higher level. Unfortunately her jet pack's fuel tank was now empty, she wouldn't be flying any time soon. With no way to get back down, Frisk would be on her own for a while, while the others fought the demon. *The feeling of being alone brings back memories. You are filled with determination*

Meanwhile down in the lower par of the tower. Seeing that Frisk was now gone had detracted the skeleton for some time. He had been closely watching the human to try and catch her should she start to fall, but because of this he almost failed to see the other human needing his help. Papyrus snapped out of his worried daze long enough to realize the vampire hunter was being pinned down. Remembering the bottle of holy water that Julius had given him earlier, Papyrus took out the small flask and through the holy water on top of him, dousing the demons in it's divinity. Hopefully this would get them off the vampire hunter, at least maybe long enough for him to make a counter attack.
