Before Grafdaka even had the chance to try to raise up from the gravity field and face Juno using the power of his eyes, a series of disturbances ended with Henry standing atop the black metal giant, adding the power of his own eyes to the hulkig abomination that Grafdaka was becoming. How did they even overcame Juno's power and kept on dragging parts to him like that? The limits of Graf and Endian's powers intrigued Princess, the smile in her face made it too evident.

Either way, Henry's interruption wasn't a welcome one, when Juno wished to have a fight with the reputed Machina champion. The interference of a cocky Demon that thought too high of himself was the last thing she wanted. However, if Henry too wanted to face her, there was no reason to turn him down. Even if Grafdaka's idea of adding Balrog's and Henry's power to his own should actually make him weaker against Juno, the addition of a second set of special eyes more than made up for it.

[color=9966cc]"You are really determined annoy me by letting those conceited fools do as they wish, right? At least you could have thrown Queen Hildr or that Alchemist at me, if you wanted me to go all out just for your pleasure, instead of those... buffoons."[/color] Juno said to none in particular, even if she was sure a certain masked man who was even now observing the conflicts ensuing on his "playground" got the message either way, which was totally her intention, to begin with.

[color=9966cc]"You have earned what you wanted. If you wanted to see how strong I can really be without even having to rely on [i]'His'[/i] gifts, you achieved it."[/color] The moment Juno said that, all of Alt Signia rumbled, the very air and the earth resonating with the infinite void that was visible on the Nexus' skies. The gravity around the Fortress got so strong that it almost looked like the surface had turned into the bottom of abyssal depths of the Sea of Ruthria, crushing rocks and downing planes as Juno's aura expanded and shaped itself in a serpent no less impressive than the Leviathan --perhaps much more-- before collapsing, enveloping her in a coccon of warped space.

What emerged from the rift was a [url=http://i.imgur.com/rEglOr0.png][color=9966cc][b]completely different Juno[/b][/color][/url], her eyes filled with nothing but hatred and power seeping from every of her pores, not so say anything of the fact that she had a much greater deal of skin exposed, as if defense didn't mattered for this form at all. [color=9966cc]"I'm the end of all that exists and the beginning of all nothingness. To face me is to face oblivion itself. Get ready to meet your end on my hands for I'm Jormungandr, the Serpent of the World, Master of Space and you are... nothing."[/color]

Jorm finished her introduction by suddenly dispelling the gravity field, liberating the potential energy it accumulated in the form of a titanic explosion of kinetic force that rocked the mountain to it's very core. Following that, she disappeard from where she stood and appeared behind Henry in the blink of an eye. Endian's sensors would be able detect it that Juno hadn't teleported, but instead moved with extreme speed, to the point of leaving after images behind her as she flash stepped.

[color=9966cc]"..."[/color] Without a word, Juno extended her open palm at point-blank to Henry's face and let the collapsing gravity crush the air around them into plasma and then the plasma into degenerate neutron matter, all in the span of a moment, letting the power waver to free a miniature Gamma ray burst in Henry's face, knowing that Endian's Dimensional Anchor would make it impossible for Henry to try to use his Gates of Tartarus to absorb the lethal dose of million degrees hot radioactive matter. Well now, if such an ability such as blocking teleportation and interdimensional movement wasn't a double edged sword...

To not leave any openings, Juno finished her assault with a spinning attack from Raison d'Être that rippled through the air, extending the range of the slash far being the blade's edge, to be sure that she would bisect Henry unless he was really that good of dodger.

[url=http://i.imgur.com/cu4Aryv.jpg][color=daa520][b]Diana[/b][/color][/url] traversed the majority of Alt Signia unnoticed, avoiding to run into any opposing force that might have penetrated the fortress as she made her way to the Portal Room, though it wasn't until she reached the the heart of the Alt Signia, the place known as [url=https://theswordemperor.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/dwarven-city-2.png][color=daa520][b]The Forge[/b][/color][/url] that Diana ran out of luck.

[color=daa520]"What the!?"[/color] Diana yelled as she was brought to a sudden halt, throwing herself on the floor to avoid
a bullet she heard zipping by her on the very last moment. Even then, the rogue was left with an impromptu ear piercing as she scampered around, getting back to her feet and looking for the source of the deadly shot.

As yet more shockwaves rocked the mountain with their sheer force, Diana saw the last person she thought she would see here on Alt Signia. [color=daa520]"Ba-Bastion? What are you doing here?"[/color] Diana's question would be answered not by her friend, but by a couple of the androids that accompanied Bastion charging in to eliminate the threat before their eyes. Diana dodged at the last moment again, as her draconic senses let her hear the invisible blades threatened to slice her in half moments before they hit her. [color=daa520]"I see. I thought this would happen someday, but I hoped it could be later."[/color] Diana replied as she used the moment of her dodge to hit one of the robots with her tail and parry the next incoming blade with Ascalon.

The strength of the STHLT unit was enough to launch the poor footed Diana a few meters away, put the rogue used her tail to grab a hold of a chain in a display of agility more proper for a monkey than a dragon. Slashing the chain with Ascalon, rocketed Diana up to the shadows of the above bridges from where she could cast her voice all over the room using the echo. [color=daa520]"I'm sorry it had to come to this, Bastion, but this time, I can't let you go away."[/color]

[color=daa520]"If you are not going to retreat, then be prepared to fight!"[/color] Somehow, Diana ended her statement by appearing behind Bastion, trying to grab to other girl from behind and use her as a "hostage" against the STHL units, even though it was obvious that Diana wouldn't simply stab her friend through the neck, thought Diana could always hope that the robots would buy it.

At least one of her plans had to work in the end, after all, damn it!

Meanwhile, in another part of Alt Signia, a bit away from the chaos of the battlefield. Miyu would find a, up to now unknown, backdoor tunnel that probably lead to the insides of the fortress, away from all prying eyes. The exact nature of the place where it led was yet unknown, but for sure it would be better than her current predicament.

At the very least it was a good place to rest as long as it didn't collapse over her head with all those earthquakes, that is.
