Utada paused her journey to the castle as she noticed everyone stop fighting in favor of attacking the giant monster instead. While this would normally be cause for her to ignore them and let the monster die to the combined might of the Factions, things changed quickly as they were all swallowed by an inky darkness. Mere seconds later they were replaced by smaller copies of the giant monster, one of which was fleeing to the Angel's base camp. The other monsters began to attack one another, which meant a few things. Either they were all consuming each other in some strange attempt to become a supermonster or this was an illusion created by the original monster and those were just the same combatants. If it was indeed consuming each other to become a supermonster, she was screwed because she doesn't have the firepower to effectively take down something along those lines. If they were her comrades she could safely ignore them until they began to attack her, at which point it would be no different than a normal Faction battle.

Utada gauged where the original monster had last been and raised her assault rifle, firing a grenade housing millions of nanobots directly at where she believed it to be. If it hit the nanobots would quickly begin to consume the monster and eventually kill it hopefully. This grenade was normally meant to kill a small group of people quickly, she had no idea how it would work on a monster of that size.

Jubilee watched Cass get sucked into the hole with a bit of amusement, following soon after. She noticed how strong the vacuum was and sighed, it was gonna be one of those days huh. She covered herself in an orb of darkness once again and bounced off the tunnel walls over and over until she and Cass smashed through the other end. Sensing that she was no longer in danger of being splattered all over the walls Jubilee let the orb of darkness dissolve, groaning as she stretched out. Yup, that's gonna bruise no matter what.

While Cass was busy pulling herself back together from being splattered all over the wall, Jubilee was studying the floor. There were hints of a larger spell circle beneath all the dust and mud, which usually meant big magical stuff. She began sweeping away all the detritus with shadows from all across the room and studied the magic circle in close detail. It was all originating from the very center of the room, which had a small hole in it that could fit a sword. Perhaps a sword's hilt actually, it was a little too wide for just the blade. While Cass wanted to just ask one of the skeletons what was going on, Jubilee wanted to find out for herself.

She dredged up all knowledge she had of magic circles and rituals, which was quite extensive considering how she had gotten into the Nexus in the first place. Then she got as close to the floor as possible and tried to figure out what exactly this spell would do.

Damn was he good. Not only did he take out the left missile launcher, but he actually just got complimented by a fucking Vassal. He's gotten more compliments and thanks in the past week then he had in the past year with the Demons. Definitely made a good choice hanging out with the Machina. [color=7bcdc8]“Not bad. This model is starting to become obsolete,”[/color] Henry grinned as he floated in place. His grin quickly faded as he recognized the damage he had done was negligible at best. A construct of ice formed around the sparking and smoking missile launcher, Archorus breaking off a chunk of it to smash Titanica in the face with. And then the same construct began to stretch out to try and impale Henry.

[color=steelblue]"Fuck fuck fuck fuck-"[/color] Henry began to fly around again, this time dodging both missiles and this icy spear of death. With the missile output being cut in half he could easily shoot them out of the sky with just the Gates, but this icy spear seemed very intent on killing him. He would slice it apart every time it got close to him, but then it would just continue to grow at the same pace, splitting apart and shooting out to impale him. There were some real close calls, at one point he landed on the side of one of the larger spikes, only to jump off and continue his flight moments later as his feet began to froze and several pikes of ice arose to gut him.

Henry was starting to slow down, he couldn't do this forever. So instead he retreated to Titanica to refuel on heat, letting his armor heat up as he landed on her shoulder. [color=steelblue]"I really hope you have a plan, because I don't have any Vassal busting weapons!"[/color] He shouted as Titanica spun to smack Archorus in the head, tightly clinging on to her shoulder so he wasn't flung off.
