I know how much Flame hates reading torture porn.[/color] [color=888888]-Doctor “I may have spliced the DNA of 75 different animals into myself, but a fucking [i]cat[/i] wasn’t one of them” Nykannis[/color][/center] Nykannis cackled maniacally as her creations pummeled the Queen of Hearts with destructive forces beyond comprehension. However, her deranged laughter trailed off a moment later, as she watched the Wonderland Monarch use her reality-breaking blade to slice through each of the first four Killing Blows in turn, before the fifth finally managed to blow her arm off. But not, it appeared, before the Storybook Sovereign flung her wondrous weapon directly at the Monarch of Mad Science herself… Spinning through the air like a buzzsaw, the Storyslayer seemed to slice through the dimensional fabric itself, warping the space around it as if it were mere paper. Not wasting a second, and without a single thought for her own safety, [url=https://i.imgur.com/ybuwo0I.png]Pentius-04[/url], the greatest bodyguard and defender that Nykannis’s mastery of The Artifact’s Create Your Own Avatar system could devise, teleported to interpose herself between her Super-Scientific Sovereign and the very manifestation of the Grand Magistrate’s own indomitable will. Anchoring herself with a trio of overlapping gravity wells, and charging her mighty Super-Numinous Sanctum Singularity Shield to maximum, while simultaneously reinforcing it with a plethora of multi-manifold polyphasic omni-dimensional ecto-esoteric energy barriers, the protective paragon of Team Pentius braced for the Storyslayer’s impact. She never stood a chance. Slicing through her barriers, and then her body, the terminator of tales homed in on its [i]true[/i] target. Yet, even as Pentius-04’s two halves fell to the ground, Nykannis was swiftly raising her [i]own[/i] defenses. Multi-layered Infinity Reflector Screens, Nth-Space Negation Shells, Omni-Phasic Hyperion Veils, Polymorphic Protective Portal Clusters, Numinospheric Neo-Neutrino Ultra-Aetheric Transposition Fields, and Chronometric Retroactive Reversion Quantum Singularity Shields, all were deployed and overcharged to their very limits, and then, pushed even [i]further[/i] beyond. But it [i]still[/i] wasn’t enough… Her many glowing eyes widening in horrific realization as she watched each defensive line shatter in turn, the Mad Scientist Supreme raised a massive clawed appendage in a desperate, last-ditch effort to at least partially deflect the inexorable instrument of her impending doom… On the spinning, reality-piercing pinwheel came, slicing through the appendage’s multi-layered, interlocking energy sheathes and then the ultramagitech nano-fluidic hyperalloy armor beneath like a lightsaber through tissue paper. But even so, by some transcendent burst of preternatural agility, sublime stroke of luck, or (she hated to admit) Magisterial magnanimity, the Storyslayer managed to merely graze her arm, before spinning away and back into the Queen of Heart’s sole remaining hand. Nykannis hissed in pain as an ink-stained crevice was gouged into the appendage, one, which no amount of restorative nanite infusion or chronometric reversal seemed capable of restoring. This was unprecedented. Long indeed had it been since anyone had been able to inflict such a blow upon her, and the fact that this weapon [i]had[/i] told the Queen of the Mad Scientists all she needed to know. Linked as they were to her personal ultratechnomystic power accumulator pocket dimension, the remaining members of Team Pentius were already preparing to fire another volley of Killing Blows at the ruler of Wonderland, but Nykannis already knew it would be utterly pointless to even attempt to continue this farce. Indeed, she wasn’t surprised in the slightest when even [i]more[/i] portals opened and a deluge of phantasmal specters, rabid wendigos, and top hat-wearing bombs descended upon them with the force of an avalanche. Even the other ridiculous members of the Queen’s royal court had appeared on the field. Now, Nykannis was well aware she could counter this, of course. There were more teams of Phase Two on standby, [i]hundreds[/i] more (not to mention her own, [i]personal[/i], forces), but what would deploying them here really accomplish? The Queen of Hearts had won this battle. Such had the Grand Magistrate intended, thus had it occurred, which made the Storybook Sovereign’s next words [i]vastly[/i] more hilarious than they already were… [color=DarkMagenta]“NYAHAHAHAHA!!!”[/color] Nykannis cackled in deranged amusement. [color=DarkMagenta]“You really think you can oppose the guy who gave you your special snowflake powers to BEGIN WITH?!! Nyahahahaha! You’re just a puppet on a fucking [i]STRING!!![/i] You won [i]this[/i] round, Queenie,”[/color] she added with cruel smirk. [color=DarkMagenta]“But only because he [i]let[/i] you. Just keep that in mind whenever you wanna start round [i]two.[/i]”[/color] With that, there was a colossal burst of crackling, yellowy-green actinic lightning, and when it faded, Nykannis, along with every member of all five of the Phase Two teams she’d brought with her, had vanished without a trace. However, while the various members of Phase Two would arrive at the Demiris Defense Systems R&D complex immediately, the Monarch of Mad Science would be making a short side trip… It was time to arrange a meeting of the minds…
