The momentum of her charge had thrown her face first into the assault, the shock passing through her body and causing her legs to swing forward out from under her. As the Valkyrie dropped back-first toward the grass, her dazed eyes gazed up at the hammer that hovered like a tower above her. Her red eyes widened in fright, her jagged teeth parting in a vicious screech before her feral noise was silenced by Luigi’s hammer. The hammer crushed the Valkyrie’s skull, causing her body to join the phozons that started to collect on the battlefield like fireflies.

She didn’t quite understand anything she said about viruses and councils. Her grip tightened on her spear when she identified her as the princess. So the blue girl knew who she was, but Gwendolyn didn’t know who she was. She also recognized the ring on her finger. [color=00aeef][b]“I have never seen you before. How do you know me or the ring?”[/b][/color] Gwendolyn asked. Gwendolyn felt the air shift violently behind her and she turned an amethyst eye over her shoulder in growing surprise. She screamed a little in startle when Naija snagged her arm and carried her out of Brigan’s reach. [color=teal][b]What the heck are you doing Brigan! You were with and talking to her just a moment ago, you even asked us all here to help protect her, what are you trying to punch her out of the sky for?[/b][/color] General Brigan’s red eyes gleamed with anger as he gnashed his teeth. The hired team had been more trouble than he expected them to be. [color=a0410d][b]“That ring on her finger could end all of this!”[/b][/color] General Brigan exclaimed. [color=a0410d][b]“If we take the ring to the Cauldron, then we could defeat Odin and save Erion!”[/b][/color] Gwendolyn yanked her arm free from Naija, infuriated by Brigan’s persistent betrayal. [color=00aeef][b]“Does your treachery have no end? If the Cauldron was such a savior, then my father might have used it in such a way, but even he fell to greed. I have the ring to protect Erion from conceited bastards like you!”[/b][/color] Gwendolyn’s attention was immediately drawn to her father’s transformation. General Brigan watched Demon Lord Odin grow, and with a nervous hiss, again he abandoned them. The general charged off into the night as Gwendolyn returned kindness to Naija, taking her by her arm and taking her into the sky as Demon Lord Odin whipped the earth with fire.

Those afflicted by the explosions will take damage over time. (Add to character “Inventory.”)[/b][/color] James’s aid to Hapu had been successful in killing the Valkyrie that had been trying desperately to harm the girl, but he and Hapu had a more troubling foe to deal with. The Valkyrie that had been trying to take Samus from behind, stabbed the earth where the bounty hunter had once stood. She had promptly rolled in evasion and the pellet fire that peppered the Valkyrie stripped away at her body, the plasma burning holes in her. The Valkyrie once again leapt into the air to avoid the barrage the bounty hunter laid on her and erratically flew closer to her, darting chaotically about. Inevitably the Valkyrie would have to fly closer to Samus, and the bounty hunter anticipated it. Her cannon met the Valkyrie’s face before her spear could reach her throat. The plasma melted the Valkyrie’s dark face into a cauterized blob of flesh, blood, and smoke. The Valkyrie’s mouth was the only thing that could be made out through the globs of melted tissue, screaming in horrified agony before Samus silenced the creature with a series of punches, and then finally, an overkill uppercut. The Valkyrie was sent flipping into the air before it popped into purple sparkles (Any other shots to this Valkyrie I’m ignoring because it’s already overkill). Oswald frowned uncomfortably, watching with Fox, the demon lord remove his mask. He knew he wouldn’t have much time to entertain Fox’s question and so decided to explain as quickly as he could: [color=7ea7d8][b]“He’s big, but he’s also slow. He uses his strength for speed. You do not want to take him from the front. He is best taken from behind. Unlike General Brigan, he has no magic protecting him, but he’s still going to be difficult.”[/b][/color] Oswald paused to watch warily the demon lord grow in size. [color=7ea7d8][b]“If you see him use his weapon, Balor; run.”[/b][/color] After those words, Oswald stepped backwards into a shadow as Demon Lord Odin brought his hand to his face and unleashed his inferno upon the team and the forest. Fox’s reflector barely survived the initial wave. It managed to reflect the initial damage, but inevitably imploded from the fiery assault. The flames by then hadn’t been directly on him, but the indirect inferno would be enough to scorch him and his fur. Fox had no m-e defense, and therefore, his reflector wouldn’t do him much good as he would have liked. Slayer, with no points invested in dexterity, managed to dodge Odin’s assault if only by using his Dandy Step. Otherwise, the vampire would have been incinerated. Demon Lord Odin lowered his hand from his dark face. His lips rolled back as he bore his teeth at the one warrior who cockily approached him. Rearing back, the same hand went behind his back and the blue character-slaying orb of destruction was removed: Balor. The very weapon Oswald had warned Fox about. Before the demon lord could even twitch a muscle to use it, the air between his shoulder blades rippled, darkened, and emerging from a black hole was a wispy warrior. With the hilt of Belderiver gripped in both of Oswald’s hands, he held it high above his head, blade pointed forward at Odin’s spine as he drove its crimson, Valentinian psypher into the god’s back. Demon Lord Odin staggered forward, his faltering steps causing the ground to quake beneath his feet. The god bellowed a pained and angered cry, and the ground shook once more as Balor struck the earth. The massive, blue meteor hammer impregnated with the souls of countless warriors was grounded as the god twisted about, trying to reach his own back. Oswald clung to his blade, baring his teeth in his effort to hang on and mentally praying that his new allies would take advantage of the diversion. Velvet and Quina had arrived on the scene then. Quina’s chef hat had been stomped in from the countless times Velvet had stomped his/her head to keep her/him focused on the original plan. While Quina rushed to Slayer’s side, Velvet swiftly dismounted from his/her head to sprint toward Odin’s feet. Spreading her chained blades, she released one to whip it in a spiral above her head. She then swung the blade in an arc about the god’s ankles. The weapon with a similar red crystal to Oswald’s turned about Odin’s legs on its own. She threw the other end about the arm that Odin tried to swing behind his back to swat Oswald, and again, the blade wrapped about his limb. Feeling the sudden resistance on his arm, Demon Lord Odin absently jerked it, which drew his feet together. The Demon Lord collapsed, striking the ground just as hard as Balor had. Growling and snarling with the same ferocity the Valkyries had, he continued to try and tug his bound arm and reached for Balor with his unbound hand. While he howled and struggled on the ground, a giant pumpkin seemed to tumble from nowhere and break like a boulder over the head of the Demon Lord, sending pumpkin fragments and guts almost comically splattering everywhere. Velvet ran over to once again hop on top of Quina’s head and stared at the god.
