[color=888888]-Doctor Nykannis, Queen of the Mad Scientists[/color][/center]

[color=DarkMagenta]“And here I thought the conclusion of the ass shoving contest was anti-climactic…”[/color] Nykannis remarked as she watched the Queen of Hearts effortlessly slay Asengav, the horror’s demise prompting the swift unraveling of the entire reality plenum. For the moment, the degradation of the dimensional fabric was limited to Penrose and its immediate surroundings, but it was only a matter of time before it spread across the entire planet, and to even the most distant corners of the universe beyond. At least, if it wasn’t stopped by a plucky band of heroes. Yes, the Monarch of Mad Science reflected, the Penrose Pack had matters well in hand, so there was absolutely zero cause for concern. Indeed, the stupendous, starkly unfathomable poly-plenumic energies being thrown about with reckless abandon had almost filled her numinosphereic multiversal pinapexagon power accumulator to maximum capacity. Soon, she would be able to utterly erase THEM from existence, allowing her to finally abandon this sad joke of a reality plenum and once again freely travel the infinite omniverses to her heart’s content. 

But before she could do that, there were a few other matters to conclude. Thus, to ensure the final stages of her little “Penny Project” wouldn’t be compromised by the ongoing plenumic collapse, she activated the ARGO’s axiomantic aetherauronic reality stabilization array. The skies of the tangental reality layer were filled with a crackling, crisscrossing network of millions of yellowy-green ecto-empyrean lightning tendrils as the apex-grade apparatus’s myriad eldritch technomantic biomechanical prongs, antennas, and other peculiar protrusions worked to seal the battlefield in a protective anti-entropic enclosure.   

[color=MediumSlateBlue][i]“How strange… I was not aware horrors held such plenumic significance,”[/i][/color] Xozooth mused as he continued to observe the unfolding cataclysmic events. [color=MediumSlateBlue][i]“After all, you recently killed one yourself, did you not?”[/i][/color] the polymathamagician inquired.

[color=DarkMagenta]“True, but Asengav has [i]considerably[/i] more narrative significance,”[/color] Nykannis replied. [color=DarkMagenta]“Comparing Gavy’s protagonist power to Vaasty’s is like comparing a galaxy cluster to a grain of [i]sand.[/i] And speaking of protagonist power,”[/color] the mad scientist added as she enlarged a supplementary display. [color=DarkMagenta]“It looks like our precious Penny’s gotten yet [i]another[/i] upgrade.”[/color]

Of course, the source of said upgrade was entirely unsurprising. After all, the hand of The Unmaker was anything but subtle, and with the universe itself seemingly coming to an end, the Great Ender himself would obviously want a front row seat. The fact that such a blessing had been provided was also completely expected, and thus had been fully taken into account by the Sovereign of Super Science. Penny’s transferral of her Prime Self’s most significant concentration to a body closer to the battle taking place atop Covington Tower [i]was[/i] slightly annoying, but even [i]that[/i] development could easily be adapted to.

[color=DarkMagenta]“And I can’t exactly blame her,”[/color] Nykannis conceded as she watched an energy-sheathed ultra-tech armored car shooting through the tempestuous skies towards the pivotal rooftop on rails of solid lightning. [color=DarkMagenta]“Her battle against her final opponent [i]deserves[/i] a suitable stage…”[/color]
