Sectonia wasn't a fan of most of the spirit drops obtained from the abominations they had fought. As such she didn't lay claim to any of them. Blazermate wasn't a fan of the biological tech either, as it didn't seem any of it helped her heal or buff anyone. With the Avenger though, she could possibly claim something from the armory later. Seeing as how Ganondorf was some organic creature now, perhaps he'd get some good use out of all of this. Regardless, as the the group entered what seemed like a massive complex and cleared it out, they came across a giant door with 3 locks they had to unlock. Sandalphon assigned roles, and sent the fliers, Mokou, Blazermate, and Sectonia, to the only spot the others couldn't reach easily, the Operations center.
Sandalphon did know how to split people up properly, Sectonia thought, as she would've suggested the same. Granted she would've preferred a melee combatant to go with them to take whatever disgusting attacks would be headed their way with all the biomass everywhere. And as the three fliers entered the Operations center, it was clearly infested by tons and tons of biomass with its own little guard. It was similar to the other things Sectonia thought, but it looked clearly stronger. Regardless, the three of them had to clear the area and figure out how to open said lock.
The guard itself wielding a spiked gun was at attention, but wasn’t attacking the newcomers right away as they were apparently not in the area it was guarding. However behind said guard was a lit up console that was perhaps the thing the group had to get to in order to accomplish their little task here. And it wouldn’t take much to get Sectonia up and ready to cleanse the biomass infested area. In fact the area was so full of biomass that if it wasn’t for the fact the three of them could fly there wouldn’t be an area free of it to stand on and it looked disgusting to touch.
Mokou herself simply flew along with Sectonia and Blazermate, her hands in her pockets as per usual and a frown on her face as she took in the infected area,
“Quite the work this place is” she commented, taking a hand out to rub the back of her head before glancing over at the other two,
“So, our goal is that panel the big guy is guarding, right? If that’s the case, I doubt he’s gonna let us float right in. So-” the hand that was rubbing her head was extended, a ball of fire quickly forming in her open palm,
“I suggest a bit of cleansing. In agreement?””I’d call it more… purging. This area is disgusting and needs to go. So yes. ” Sectonia said, very on board with Mokou’s idea. Sectonia herself had some fire as well, but it wasn’t nearly at the level of mastery of Mokou. Regardless, Sectonia summoned her red antlers to begin the assault on the room, with Blazermate rolling her eyes and overhealing the two to start as the guard itself got into action as these newcomers opened fire.
Immediately this guard showed why he was stationed alone, as he was more agile than the things below. His gun was also a lot better, and had a much better fire rate launching piercing projectiles. He also threw a pustule that started to tick near the trio that had wiggling tentacles coming out of it ready to grab them.
Blazermate was a bit happy to see someone using a gun finally as she hid behind Sectonia’s bulk and used the healing she gave her to charge up her projectile shield. She’d save her other abilities in case they would be needed soon. Sectonia meanwhile hated having to be the center of attention with such a disgusting creature, but she sent in her Antlers while firing off flying swords from different angles at the Nidus.
As soon as the first bullets flew, Mokou was already moving, flaming feathers quickly forming in the air before firing down in a rain of fire. Mokou herself did not seem too phased by the piercing projectiles that flew towards her, her flying completely casual as she weaved through the gaps in the bullet’s paths. Even the pustule that was thrown at her failed to achieve anything of note, the tentacle just barely missing its mark before Mokou simply launches a stream of fire at the center, incinerating it in one go.
Once that was out of the way, Mokou raised her hand in the air, a red glow forming around her entire body as a massive number of feathers of different sizes formed in the air, taking a single moment to aim themselves before they launched forward, pelting the area below with a torrent of her own projectiles.
While Mokou and Blazermate were able to avoid the pustule grenade, both being either small or far enough away from it when it detonated, Sectonia due to her size and closeness was hit by it. It didn’t do much damage, but instead pulled her towards it as well as her Antlers whom were busy torching the ground of all of its biomass. With a group being pulled, they then conjured a bit of biomass and spread it around the ground, damaging and popping the Antlers who couldn’t fly, but not doing anything to Sectonia as she hovered above it even if pulled. Granted with Mokou also shooting fire in the area, this lead to a bit of friendly fire. At least Blazermate was keeping Sectonia healthy and she had no weakness against fire anymore.
This improved the guard’s gun though as it seemed the more hits they did with their abilities or normal shots, the better their main damage in the form of their spear rifle got. But thanks to all the constant damage Sectonia had been taking, Blazermate was able to use her projectile shield to block the next round of buffed projectiles headed towards the massive bee queen.
So instead of focusing on what was clearly a shielded easy to hit target, Nidus instead focused on Mokou, pointing at her and making some sort of parasitic link with her. While this did no damage initially, as Sectonia zapped Mokou from behind Blazermate’s shield with her dark lightning, a part of that damage was transferred to Mokou instead quickly burning through her overheal.
This made Blazermate swap targets, shielding Sectonia with her shield, but putting her beam on Mokou while firing a divine star at her to heal her with a bit of burst healing. She had a few ways of getting rid of this debuff, but she’d watch to see what Mokou did first.
“Oho, a lifelink huh?” Mokou grins at the link that Nidus placed upon her, wisps of embers forming around her in quick succession,
“Alright then, let’s see how much life that can handle!”With a furious boom, Mokou rockets forward, becoming a flaming comet as she practically slams into the area around Nidus, detonating in a massive burst of flame that sends the guard flying away. Ordinarily, this would have obliterated Mokou as well, but thanks to Blazermate’s shield, the phoenix actually managed to survive her own attack, rising to her feet in the midst of her fiery crater.
This gave Blazermate a bit of a heart attack, well, what the equivalent of one would be for a medabot with Mokou just seemingly going kamikaze and only surviving thanks to the overheal. While this also did a lot to the Nidus and the surrounding area, Nidus noticed that one of his opponents was low and decided to use what he had built up thanks to all the extra damage his lifelink caused to use his ultimate. With a raise of his hand, massive maggots came from the walls of biomass that hadn’t been incinerated and made their way towards the trio to devour them, or explode on them, it wasn’t clear with how they were charging and pulsing.
Blazermate saw this big attack coming and pulled Mokou to herself with Leap of Faith, getting next to Sectonia, and as the bee queen was throwing out rays of light to try to smite these giant maggots, Blazermate cast Holy Word:Salvation with the words
”We Stand together as one!” conjuring a holy dome around herself enveloping Sectonia and Mokou, healing them for 30% of their health and making them immune to damage for a few seconds as they stood in the dome. The maggots collided with them, dealing no damage and after a couple of bites, they exploded. This still did no damage, but knocked the three of them away from their position into different parts of the room.
As Nidus did no damage to any of them, he didn’t get the massive amount of healing he was expecting. To make things worse for him, Blazermate zoomed up behind him and as he trained his gun on her, she used Disruption to place him into a black void for a few seconds as the other two girls righted themselves and got ready to attack.
Truthfully, the phoenix had no reason to dodge the incoming attack. With how much damage she had sustained, a light breeze would’ve been enough to finish her first life off… And even if she was on her last legs, she wouldn’t fret about ‘dying’ properly in the first place. Yet she didn’t complain when Blazermate pulled her back and protected her with a dome of light. The end result, combined with Blazermate banishing Nidus for a few moments, caused the white haired girl to whistle in satisfaction, “Nice work” she called out to the medabot before snapping her fingers, a ring of feathers forming in a circle around the spot where Nidus had been sent to, aligning themselves to launch forth as soon as Nidus reappeared.
Sectonia followed suit after flipping in the air to right herself by conjuring a set of swords out of the ground the Nidus would appear in. And as he appeared, two illusions of him also appeared that attacked him alongside the feather nova and him appearing right into a field of sword spikes dealing a large amount of damage all at once to the already low health bio warrior. And when the inferno caused by Mokou disappeared, all that was left was a spirit for them to collect.
With the guard disposed of, the trio could finally examine the panel. Sectonia wasn’t really one for computers, but she had an idea of what to do. Blazermate, being a robot, would be assumed to be good at technology, but she was hesitant to touch the panel.
Mokou shakes her hand, a small bunch of embers flickering off of her as she walks over to the spirit, letting it rest in her hand as she placed the other into her pocket,
“Well, looks like our job here is done. Figure someone might want this, so I’ll bring it back to the stagecoach, if you two want to handle the panel there” the phoenix states, gesturing her head towards the panel as she slowly floats into the air, prepared to make her leave as soon as their job was finished.
Sectonia likewise pushed Blazermate forward to mess with the panel. At first the medabot was a bit uneasy about touching the thing, but as she messed with it, she found it was just a game of pipe and was an easy video game to solve. And once she did, everyone heard the sound of a big lock shifting. Swiping up the fallen spirit, Blazermate happily gestured to the other two to go look at the door, happy she managed to hack something.

Roland
Level 7 Roland (66/70)
Location: Eseka
Word Count: Less than 750
Roland was back to his uneasy sleep, as without Grim to burn his nightmares, they came back. But tonight he'd have some reprieve from then, with a living one. While he slept and was in the middle of reliving a part of the Smoke War, an explosion happened. He thought at first it might be part of his dream, but then he felt the force of the explosion which jolted the fixer awake.
"What in the..." Roland put on his mask and as he looked out of his room he saw a bulky robot running down the hallway. At first it wasn't really focused, but once it saw Roland, it decided to attack him. As Roland had kept his mask on all day, he doubted it was coming after him specifically but still, that meant that it was attacking people indiscriminately and his mask wouldn't stop the robot from targeting him if that was the case. And that was indeed the case as the robot came for him.
Engaging in a fight, Roland rolled the Keter floor as he intercepted the robot's shoulder charge with his own hammer attack. He managed to deflect some of the damage, but this thing still hit pretty hard. Not as had as a Rhino, but still pretty hard. With that, his emotion level increased to 1, and he gained Pulsation, the voice of a heartbeat saying "Overwhelming aspiration is what leads to wrongful frenzy.", with Roland going to strike the robot with his swords. The robot didn't have much of a complex moveset, as it tried to keep close to Roland to rush him down, Roland clashing and trying to counter the robot with his own style of melee combat using his maces and swords. He'd win some, tie some, counter some, and even lose some, but as he fought, he gained level 2 and 3 emotion levels, gaining Urging and Blood. The first having that same heartbeat voice say "Don’t you want to see the end of this thrill that’s about to burst?", while the other sounded like an ocean of blood saying "Come inside. Get into this dreadful pool of blood.".
Roland was getting the upper hand on the robot at this time, but as he was getting it, the face changed to show a countdown. Roland knew what this meant as assassin bots that blew up existed in his world as well. As such he made his way back into his room, and jumped out his window, the glass of the window clinking on the street as Roland leaped to the adjacent building and ran up the short wall to reach the neighboring rooftop before retreating further from the motel complex as it went up in flames.
"I hope the others didn't get hit by that." Roland said. He then noticed the helicopters flying away from the scene, using the explosion to propel themselves away at great speed. He caught their logo, G Corp upon them, but only saw it for a second. Was this the same G corp Roland knew, or a different one? He weighed in on that, and figured it was another one as his G corp would've just thrown a singularity bomb on the motel if they really wanted to cause damage. He had seen an Arbiter use one of those firsthand, getting hit by it himself and it wasn't pleasant.
