The illusion had been broken, and the true visage of Dan’s so-called paradise had been revealed, as was the return of the puppet girl’s elegant dress. The bikini-clad Minion also transformed, taking the form of a diminutive humanoid horned doll with a vaguely knight-esque appearance. But most impressive was Ser Pekka Puupää’s transformation : his white gloves trembled and pulsated, until sharp, mechanical claws exploded out of them, ripping the gloves into tatters that scattered into the winds. The hawaiian shirt and blue swimming trunks were also shredded, as the Instrument’s true form violently came forth, the jointed parts haphazardly spasming to free itself of the false layers until it stood silent again, standing at a slight, inhumanly extended lean to the side. The brim of its black top hat had replaced the tacky baseball cap, yet the mask underneath remained, motionless…and remorseless, as did the puppet mistress herself. There was no hesitation, no questioning Dan and his extraterrestrial partner in crime. However, only a single sentence sounded out from the near-still girl: [color=0072bc]”Science Fiction…The Grand Magistrate has mixed up the genres.”[/color] Leaving the strange words to hang in the air, Nukkelina focused her powers, and conjured a new ally to the Maverick Alternative’s cause: a taller, more fearsome Minion Elite. While it shared the lesser Minion’s theme of a knightly humanoid, this one was taller and more imposing, with a blade for an arm, the free one holding a shield. Nukkelina then flicked her wrists, and strings extended out. Using Subtle Spell 4, she ordered the lesser Minion to flank the alien ship and climb aboard. Nukkelina hadn’t yet planned what the Minion would do once inside, banking on it being caught and destroyed by the slime spewers, distracting them from the real threat. She flicked her strings upwards, and they arched like approaching fingers. She responded to Nina: [color=0072bc]”I won’t give prayer, for I have lost all faith. But I will enact justice on those who would give us false hope.”[/color] She ordered the Minion Elite to assist Iris and Scypho at the frontlines, and rushed towards the upper slime turret to aid Nina, Pekka leading the front: the hulking monster bounded across the grainy earth before launching off the shoreline to pounce on the turret, completely ignoring the shots of slime that would surely be shot at it as it aimed to rip and tear into the green goo. After all, a puppet felt no pain, and no fear. But Ser Pekka would be the one to inflict great suffering and terror as Nukkelina had decided: those who would lure them with promise of a cute beach episode only to instantly ruin it would be ruined themselves.
