Endian was fairly certain she killed the slime monster. Fried her into a stain on the ground, though considering the sort of creatures they encountered so far, Endian was almost certain this wouldn't be the last she's seen of the monster. Shizuka took the child and her doll back to the others, but before Endian could follow an illusionary orb appeared next to Endian. Her first reaction was to conjure a blade and cut the orb in half, but as it was an illusion the attack failed to achieve anything. From this orb the master of the domain spoke. Helena promised some sort of freedom from everyone's current leaders if they followed her, claiming that each of them were part of a triumphant that perpetuated the constant war in the Nexus.  [color=firebrick]"Well no shit."[/color] Endian didn't pretend to know what Eos does, but it wasn't too much of a stretch of the imagination to think that the big three know each other personally and probably see each other more than their minions know. As if any of them were in position to stop them if they did have a problem with that.

Endian didn't know what sort of power Helena had to think she could stand a chance in toppling just one of the factions, let alone all three herself. Even if she somehow got a few of the others factions on her side, she'd just be another piece in the game of war in the Nexus. A position that Endian herself intended to play a part of. For a brief moment Endian considered extending an alliance to Helena instead of the other way around when a sudden explosion rocked the tunnel. Endian looked up to see that the whole she took to get here collapsed, and from the rocks falling from the ceiling the rest of this tunnel was about to go as well. [color=firebrick]"Oh dammit."[/color] Endian didn't waste a second to run out of the tunnel as it started collapsing behind her, conjuring wings to help her take flight and accelerate her escape.

Flying far enough that the cave was in no threat to collapse on her, Endian was quickly lost. She was in unfamiliar territory, and she was getting nothing but static over the comms. Whatever force was interfering with Endian's communicator, though in truth it was just another illusion to make Endian think her communicator was malfunctioning. This was fine with Endian however, since she intends to use this opportunity to seek out other faction members and try to parlay with them. She wouldn't risk this type of communication with the likes of the Mecha Maids or Wolf around, considering they're one of the most fanatical of Queen Eos's soldiers. Not that Endian was a traitor, but she's learned to make use of the strength of outsiders. Something that was likely heretical to the other members of the Machina.

As Endian continued onward, she heard the tell-tales sounds of combat nearby. Near some water as well? There were a lot of splashes and deep, booming voices. As Endian is fairly certain that the Machina were in the opposite direction Endian ran towards, this was likely a fight between some angels and demons. [color=firebrick]"Perfect."[/color] Endian flew towards the battle, careful not to get spotted. She wanted to observe the battle first before she decides who she wants on her side.

Not long after getting Miyu's temporary alliance, a familiar voice boomed out followed by a bunch of lightning bolts. It was Zeruel and his army. Fran was pretty certain she couldn't convince Mr. Hentai to join them what with his pride and fanaticism, but perhaps they could use this battle to breakdown his worldview and make him sustainable to future attempts. Lightning bolts pierced through the Leviathan Fran stood on, but neither of them seemed phased as they simply started dodging and engaged in Zeruel's army. Fran's axe flew out and struck down those closest to her, aiming for whoever seemed weakest; Fran wasn't going to occupy her time trying to whittle down their toughest when she could go for their softest. That being said she mostly played defensive and focused her efforts on dodging their attacks, only retaliating when an opportunity presented itself.

As Miyu fought on the shore, Fran would fight in the water, drawing as much attention to herself. Not satisfied with just that however, with a wave of her hand more miniature leviathans came out of the water to strike at the angelic army. But much like Fran, their purpose was to distract and disorient, with Fran's axe being the main source of their death and destruction. Occasionally a chain would be shot out to reel a foe in or just distract them long enough for Fran's axe to slice through what she thought might be a vital arty. Somewhat hard to tell on these angelic types.

A few Leviathans went after Zeruel himself. Seven leviathans stayed at least fifty meters away from him, charging up a breath weapon to bombard him with lasers. However they also expect him to retaliate or at least take up a defensive stance, and so they too focused more on a defensive effort while waiting for an opportunity to unleash an attack on him, or at least give Henry an opening. All the while Fran watched the carnage from her safe vantage point as she slowly worked her way closer towards Zeruel.
