Her attack crashed into the elevator door but failed to stop Henry. Dora would have tried to do something more when she suddenly stumbled into a whole new chamber. Apparently someone had the good luck to draw them into the final boss room. [color=ffe4c4]"Well. That simplifies things."[/color] Dora wasn't really sure how to react to this turn of good luck. She had honestly thought things would be harder, but such was the way of the Nexus. You win some, you lose some. Before the final boss could show up and attack, Dora turned towards the elevators that would lead up to here. Just to make sure none of the other factions pull off some sort of last-minute arrival, Dora slammed her hammer into the ground, causing the floor to rise up in front of the entrances. Eight feet of whatever Hoho used as floor blocked the entrance inside. Once she got that out of the way Dora turned her attention back to the matter at hand. [color=ffe4c4]"So, only one of us needs to make it, eh? Well, smart thing to do is let Juno take care of the boss 'ere. Doubt it'd really be much of an issue for the world snake after all. Get one of our faster guys to the door while the rest does their best to keep the boss distracted."[/color] Dora doesn't quite remember if they have to defeat the boss before the door opens or not, but regardless with their luck it shouldn't be that difficult anyways. Dora could already see victory in sight, and short of a total party wipe (Unlikely), Dora was confident. That being said she did take out a few Thunderstones just in case they needed the buff.

Sadden, Fran noticed that the only demons left right now was herself and Balrog. Her doopleganger too she supposed, who quickly came back to try and kill Fran. But seeing that Juno was gone, Fran was able to put two-and-two together and realize her doppleganger would come back to her, so Fran blindly swung her axe behind her and managed to nail her copy. Not that it'd kill her immediately, but it would be enough for Fran to leap onto her and give her clone another kiss. Fran made a note that this would likely be the last thing she does this: if her clone can wise up, she'd just do the same thing to Fran later. This time Fran targeted the only other angel in the room: Iona. She made her doppelganger thing that Iona was Fran, while Fran disguised herself as Juno, and hopefully her copy would get herself killed trying to fight the archangel. Being a demon facing off against a mighty holy entity, Fran had no doubts that her clone would get killed. But there was still the other issue with the fact that the angels weren't here, which unless they got a bad draw and got captured, probably means they're ahead of everyone else right now. This could only mean one thing: Time to make an alliance. [color=goldenrod]"Balrog, wait here for a moment. I got an idea that would be super fun, and we'd get to fight something much cooler than these machinas."[/color] The succubus called to her giant robot friend(?). Hopefully he'd follow orders or else this would get a bit awkward, but if he was smart he'd do as she said. If he was smarter he'd just go into the elevator and leave her behind. Regardless Fran walked up to Iona and her prisoners. Oddly enough she didn't exactly come threateningly (As nonthreatening as a naked, axe weilding demon can approach), and called out to Shizuka, seeing that she was the only Machina soldier not wrapped in chains. [color=goldenrod]"Things are looking pretty bleak, eh? I'll keep it simple: Let's work together to blaze through these next few floors and try to catch up to the Angels. Fighting each other will just weaken and slow us down. But once we get to the third floor where that boss is, it's back to business. No strings attached, I'll make sure that big guy over there doesn't get any funny ideas. Dunno about any of my other allies who might have gone ahead, but I'll make sure to talk to them too. Hopefully before they start shooting at you."[/color] Fran was slightly aware that speaking so openly next to Iona might make the judge angry, and if Shizuka actually agreed it could completely counteract her efforts of proving that they aren't "evil". Fran certainly wouldn't deny the joys she gets from murdering and raping others, so if Iona got her hands on Fran it's pretty much spell the end for the horny demon. Ah, but surely such moral dilemmas is exactly what the Machinas need to face to prove that they are morally superior? Either way Fran was glad to help. [@Ryonara][@Awesomoman64][@KoL]
