Despite the barrage of vicious ghosts assailing her, Oros the Swift was easily able to fend the specters off, before doing her best impression of Penny and darting towards Staycee like a lighting bolt. The ectomancer readied her scythe for a mighty swing, but before the wicked blade could even move an inch, Oriko unraveled one of her mystic scrolls. At first, Staycee was more surprised than worried, figuring her enchanted weapon would slice through the old parchment like a giant scythe through, well, old parchment. However, no sooner had the blade touched the scroll then it and its wielder were sucked into the parchment. The next instant, the ectomancer found herself in a pocket realm filled with ferocious beasts of every conceivable shape and size. [color=MediumAquamarine]“Huh, I guess this is like that cursed menu thing Stacy was telling me about where the food tries to eat [i]you,[/i]”[/color] Staycee mused as she looked over the ring of hungry creatures surrounding her. [color=MediumAquamarine]“Well, bring it on! I almost defeated the Elder Beast of the Field of Ghosts, so fighting you guys should be a piece of cake!”[/color]

Meanwhile, GH Stacy’s battle with the sharkenbear continued, the strange creature seemingly unbothered by getting half of its head blown off and its insides fried to a crisp. [color=MediumAquamarine]“Dang, you’re sure a tough one, huh?!”[/color] Stacy marveled wth a chuckle. [color=MediumAquamarine]“At this rate, you’re gonna make me have to bust out my crazy cool ultimate moves!”[/color] However, before any such moves could be busted out, OG Stacy was spit out of the nearby mass of teeth’s mouth and fired at the two combatants with the force of a meteor on steroids. Neither Stacy was even cognizant of what was going on until they found themselves lying in a pile of scorched and smoldering limbs at the bottom of a crater, atop what little remained of the sharkenbear. 

[color=MediumAquamarine]“S-Stacy?”[/color] the pair asked each other groggily, their dislocated eyeballs rolling around in an attempt to get a better grasp of the situation. A moment later they wondered in unison, [color=MediumAquamarine]“What the heckin’ heck just happened?!”[/color]

Things were just as chaotic inside Scylla’s battered, misshapen head. Thalia and Shark Tooth Stacy continued to be wildly thrown about the cockpit, but the former had finally managed to find her footing. The fox girl pushed herself off a wall to fly at Stacy, her Carbonox blade primed to strike. However, Thalia wasn’t the only one with genetically augmented reflexes, and Stacy managed to reorient herself so that she was facing her foe head-first. With a wild grin, she opened her mouth wide and clamped down on Thalia’s blade with her namesake gold-plated Zinethonium alloy shark teeth. With a mighty chomp, she snapped the blade in two as if it were nothing more than a toothpick. [color=MediumAquamarine]“Nice try, ding dong!”[/color] Stacy taunted. [color=MediumAquamarine]“But these teeth ain’t just for show!”[/color] 

As this transpired, Scylla’s head continued to be rolled forward. The Ars Magi in its path had been feeling pretty pleased with herself for vanquishing not one but [i]two[/i] Oroses, and even with Scylla’s giant, neon pink head rolling towards her, she figured she was more than agile enough to get out of its way before it hit her. As it turned out, she was right. However, she was [i]wrong[/i] if she thought that would put her out of harm’s way. As the misshapen wreck of a Framewerk rolled passed her, the psychotic machine pushing it opened fire on the Ars Magi with a fearsome array of weaponry.

[color=MediumAquamarine]“Crap!”[/color]

Her eyes going wide behind her glasses, Saw Blade Stacy quickly raised her bulky chainsaw to block as much of the fire as she could. Yet, as big as her gladius was, she knew it wouldn’t be capable of shielding her completely. Thus, she also leaped backwards in a series of evasive maneuvers, even as she fired a stream of paint balls at the ground in front of her. Upon striking, they burst into a fine pink mist, which would hopefully provide at least a small measure of concealment. 

So preoccupied with fighting for her life was the delinquent Ars Magi that she failed to notice that Scylla’s head had been rolled over Oros the Inventive, the Framewerk’s weight freeing the false Ars Magi from her paint prison.

But Nomad Stacy noticed…

Even as Lada ordered a cloud of nanites to assail Stampede Stacy (who was still riding atop, and attempting to tame, Oros the Savage), the self-proclaimed Kung Fu Corpse Girl used her super awesome martial arts-type reflexes to race toward the distracted young woman and deliver a Crazy Cool Flying Kick to the center of her back.
