Space, you say?"[/color][/b] Juno smirked. Perhaps Henry didn't heard her introduction, or was just being his usual self-centered, arrogant prick, but if he wanted to brag about spatial powers, the Snake of the World would be more than glad to remember he who was the master of all space and gravity. The sword that Henry stole would turn to be a veritable Trojan horse. With a snap of Juno's fingers, the blade returned to it's original form, undoing the highly compressed layers of void that made up the entirety of Raison d'Être. The blast of expanding space inside of Henry's gate caused its walls to tear apart thanks to the sheer amount of energy liberated by Raison d'Être's burst. The tears vomited the contents of the Gate of Tartarus' bowels into the ground earth beneath them, Juno's powers working like a bar lock that forbid the fissures from being closed, no doubt to Henry's great frustration but, Juno wasn't done yet. To rub salt on the wound, Juno threw an unstable black hole inside of the Gate, torching a good portion of Henry's goods, before they could even leave their storage. Death may be cheap on the Nexus, but that kind of aggravated insult could very well last forever within one's mind. Juno knew that all too well and the smile of satisfaction on her face made it quite clear. "Next time, think twice before placing a blade made to cut through spatial barriers, inside of a pocket dimension." Seemed to be written all over her face. Given that she was outside of the range of Endian's Dimensional Anchor, Juno teleported to over Henry's head and fell, letting the gravity add power to the roundhouse kick she aimed at him, only to disappear a fraction of a moment before making contact and rematerialize behind Henry, to avoid his silver barriers with her agility. If the kick connected, the strength of it would be enough to send Henry flying and burrow him on the rocky side of Alt Signia.

Her mind was still dizzy when the events of the fight turned all too crazy all of a sudden and then, the world turned upside down. It took a few moments for Diana to make out the she was under Bastion's aim, while Torag, Suparna and Bastion were locked in a stand-off. How did such a simple mission turned so chaotic? To make it worse, Alt Signia was rambling stronger than before. But, if Bastion's machine's slowed the meltdown of the lava core, what was causing those rumbles? Did something catastrophic happened on the battlefront? Either way, Diana didn't had much time to think. Torag was proposing a sort of truce and Diana had no reason to not go along with it fo the time being. If they could avoid the need to kill everyone here it would be much to her liking than any other victory at the spence of people's lives. [b][color=daa520]"I-I can stop the eruption for good... If you promise me that you will keep your word. Otherwise everyone here will lose."[/color][/b] Diana said out between groans, as the dizziness began to leave her head slowly. [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/i6fLcHF.png[/img][/center] [b][color=00aeef]"Commander Hibiki, this is Dawnbreaker. According to my calculations the charges you have won't be able to make it, unless you place then by the inner core, otherwise you'll just cause the lava flow to leak before the rupture point is reached."[/color][/b] Eos replied to Hibiki's first question pausing for a moment. [b][color=00aeef]"Thermal readings indicate that the temperature of the inner core is close is close to 3.000 degrees, absolute scale. The internal pressure is of 5 atmospheres."[/color][/b] After another moment of pause, Eos added. [b][color=00aeef]"Structural analysis indicates that there must be a control rod, probably made of thermoresistant material that can shutdown the heat to bearable levels and reestablish the power to Point Hephaestus. That's all the information I have at the moment. Proceed with caution."[/color][/b] Following that, Eos contacted all the Machina units engaged with the Angels on the outside of Alt Signia. [b][color=00aeef]"Attention, all Units. If the Snake of the World is not incapacitated before the remaining Angels have the chance to storm Point Hephaestus, all out efforts in this conflict will come to naught. Forge a truce with our enemies if need be. Given that Unit Krieg has been impaired mentally, command will be given to Marquis. Killing the target is highly unlikely to happen, but if you inflict a crippling wound, she is bound to retire from the battle."[/color][/b] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/i6fLcHF.png[/img][/center] Meanwhile, Miyu would come into one more choice on her quest through the tunnels of Alt Signia, a fork on the path, one end bound to take her to the core where Hibiki and Tatiana were at this very moment and the other higher up, to the forges, where the stand-off that might as well decide the future of this battle was taking place. Which route would she choose, in her delirious state?
