In the span of a few decisive moments, what was left of the Machina force had assembled in the skies; apart from Grafdakka and Cherry. Bastion however, would have no time to greet her allies because the one intent on stealing her away forced her onto a platform to rest. [color=0072bc]“If you think I’m just gonna sit here and wait, you’re wro-gahh!”[/color] she said, body contorting at the pain resonating from her collar. Twitching on her side, she grunted more as chains suddenly ripped about and pinned her to the platform like a bound worm.

[color=0072bc]“You’ve got to be kidding me,”[/color] she said, gritting her teeth and focusing her gaze on the chains holding her down. Physical movements might have triggered the collar, but the Eyes were above such limitations. Thus, her right red pupil would shift into a golden color and she went to work slowly dismantling the chains. The collar would have to come next along with doing anything else in this last struggle for Arcadia.

Back in the holy land that was Celestia, Zeruel would walk upon the might and glory that was the divine Imperator of Heaven. Perhaps with such grace and power, he would not notice the tremble in her body or the flash of panic laying in her gaze. [color=gold]“The Black Goat has been brought to the Nexus…who thought that was a good idea,”[/color] she muttered, more than a little paranoid each time a flower or any other sort of vegetation was caught in her sights.

[color=gold]“Yes, yes, what is it?”[/color] the Imperator said, straightening up in her throne before the mighty Laguna. Whatever it was, it was probably bad news. Before Zeruel would have the chance to speak though, the Imperator suddenly froze on the spot. A demonic presence had been sensed roaming Heaven; it couldn’t be the Black Goat, could it? Yet as she checked more thoroughly, she realized the size of such power was much too fluid to be Lucille’s.

She held back a sigh, calm being restored to her figure. The day Lucille was able to walk freely in this righteous palace was…well, best not to think on it. At least the intruder was being dealt with now. [color=gold]“Continue your announcement Zeruel. What did you want to speak to me about?”[/color] she said, looking over the scroll she was given. [color=gold]"And...what does this mean exactly?"[/color]
