((Collab between Double and Letter Bee))
"Let's end this!" Jeanne's hologram said as she brought down her sword in a vertical slash, sending out a wave of light at Seth, which was not meant to be her primary attack; rather, she would leap up and try and flip herself behind the Nobody, slashing out with her blade once more.
Tocsax, meanwhile, was launching a stream of dark projectiles at the Ascot Hologram, who in turn reacted with a barrier of green light that reflected the bolts back at his opponent, who then froze the hologram in a block of ice, only to find the construct teleporting out, and launching a baragge of bolts of pure white light...
Seth didn't appear to react at first. It wasn't until the wave of light came dangerously close that a dome of sand sprung up around him and acting as a protective shell of sorts. Of course, an attack of light like that wouldn't be stopped by dark sand for very long, especially if compounded by a secondary strike from the flank. This woman was pretty skilled, but the Incubators were about to learn just who it was they were up against.
Jeanne's attacks both connected, and Seth's protective dome of sand appeared to be reduced to a harmless pile of sand. But the Nobody himself was not in sight. Always the tricky bastard, Seth used a Corridor within the dome to vanish from sight. Meanwhile, as the hologram of Ascot had just launched a sizable volley of light energy bolts, what should appear between the pair? A Corridor of Darkness, naturally. The Corridor caught the volley of projectiles, only to send them... over to Jeanne.
After emerging from the Corridor, Seth flashed an unsettling grin, "Attacking your own ally? Not very sporting of you, I think." he said with a chuckle, effectively establishing himself as an opponent of both Jeanne and Ascot. As long as this was two versus two, then he and Tocsax may as well have each others' backs.
Tocsax would smile, saying:
"You really are good, Seth." He would then raise his Keyblade high up in the air, causing bolts of lightning to come down and impact not just Jeanne and Ascot's holograms, but several of the walkaways and crystals. Continuing, the Nobody Keyblader would then speak:
"Let's maximize damage to Incubator infrastructure while fighting; after all, we need to take them out of the fight."
Jeanne and Ascot, meanwhile, would step up their game. With new programming subroutines given them by the Incubators, Jeanne would lift up her sword and cause columns of light that were as fast as well, light, to come down and impact Tocsax and Seth, while Ascot would cast:
"Zero Graviza!" in a hollow, afraid voice, causing the two Nobodies to float up after getting hit or avoiding the columns of light. The hologram of the Multiverse's 'creator' would then ready his Holo-Keyblade, which was in the shape of a regular Kingdom Key, and teleport directly at Tocsax, before saying, once more:
"Ars Arcanum!" letting loose a flurry of glowing strikes and cuts at Tocsax.
"Maximum carnage, huh? I think I've got it." Seth moved to try something, but the sight of Jeanne's light columns stopped him before he could do it. The speed of light was difficult to match, but thankfully Seth had just the answer:
"Hastega." he whispered, making sure to use the more advanced spell so that Tocsax would also benefit from the speed boost. With that, avoiding the light columns became much easier. But Ascot, or at least this thing that looked like him, didn't plan to let them off so easily. With a single spell, the speed from the Hastega was rendered null and void as gravitational forces held the Nobodies down and then lifted them up into a helpless position.
Ascot went on the attack, but still seemed to want to focus on Tocsax instead of Seth. Whelp, that would just be its downfall, "You'll regret ignoring me... Stopga!" even trapped by a Zero Gravity field, Seth could still use magic of his own, this one was the adanced Stop spell that would hopefully keep their opponents still long enough for the two Nobodies to get some kind of strategy going.
Seth had one idea, and encased himself and Tocsax within another sand dome. But at the same time, other sand domes also began to take shape, "Ever play the shell game?" Seth asked his teammate, "Use Corridors of Darkness to move between domes of sand and stay hidden. Think of it like a life-or-death version of the old shell game routine. When we do have to emerge, we may want to consider calling in our personal cavalries if you get my drift."
"Indeed," spoke Tocsax, before he drew out a data drive from his black robe. "We might also use this on the Holographic Ascot; this drive contains the conciousness of Data-Ascot, a computer program developed to seek out the records of the Old Keyblade Order. If we can upload this drive to Hologram!Ascot by jabbing it into his chest, Data-Ascot can possess him and give us another ally, at least temporarily." Tocsax didn't mention the fact that Data-Ascot had a capital-h Heart; that was irrelevant.
"Well, that still leaves Ms. Tall-Brunette-and-Beautiful for us to deal with. Of all the Magical Girls the Incubators could have dug up they pick the one who seems the biggest pain the arse. What do you say we give her some extra sparring partners to play with while we focus on Not-Ascot?" it wasn't the most brilliant or revolutionary plan in the world, but it could at least suit their current needs.
"Huddle-time over then, yes? The Stopga spell should be wearing off right about now..." with that Seth disappeared into a Corridor that would lead him to underneat one of the other domes. The one he chose was positioned at an equal dstance from both enemies while still facing their flanks, "Go big or go home."
Outside the dome, it suddenly burst apart, sending a volley of sand spikes right at Not-Ascot. Seth simultaneously willed a small battalion of Snipers around Jeanne's position and let them fire at will, "Hope this is enough coverage for you, Tocsax."
"It is!" Tocsax said as he opened up his own Corridor to behind Not-Ascot, then jabbed the data drive at the hologram, causing a bright flash of light.
Unauthorized intrusion detected - Source: Data-Ascot created by the Keyblade Order Remnants, the Incubators, their catlike bodies showing no emotion except a smile,
Purge attempt: Failed.The Ascot Hologram, his dead, unemotional eyes now replaced with a visible smirk, turned on the Incubators, calling a column of light upon yet another of their walkaways, while Jeanne tried to leap, parry, or otherwise avoid the Snipers' bolts, only to find herself getting hit anyway.
Tocsax, meanwhile, conjured up his own battalion of Samurai Nobodies, which began thier own wreckage of Incubator infrastructure.
Nevertheless, the Incubators were non-plussed, and instead said:
Scenario 2880 has come to fruition; launching countermeasures. And with that, a gigantic hole opened up in the sky, and a gigantic artifcial moon, constructed out of panes of light, would descend from it, brimming with crackles of electricity at its underside.
A museum piece from when we needed weapons against rival civilizations. This superweapon was the last to be 'shelved', a planet destroyer for purging entire civilizations. We have decided that you three individuals are a threat that needs to be dealt with with force this overwhelming, even if more of our infrastructure would be destroyed by this. In fact...Several portals opened up, leading to Renovation, Chronos, Glory of France, Alternate World War II (where the Allies were finally winning), and various other worlds that were important to the group.
In fact, we may actually destroy the remnants of the Old Keyblade Order entirely, and thus remove those who would threaten to increase the flow of Entropy...Seth almost smiled. Almost. Was he really
this much of a threat that the Incubators felt the need to unleash a planet-busting superweapon just to beat him? It was almost flattering in a way. Then they had to go and ruin the fun by threatening a multitude of worlds, including their so-called allies from Chronos.
"Well, this certainly... escalated." said the Nobody with a chuckle, "You'll even turn your superweapon against Chronos? The people you supposedly brokered a deal with? Sheesh, and I thought
I was the one with no feelings." Seth wasn't without his purpose, however, as he turned on the little communication bug that Drake left for him so that what he said next could be heard by Drake who would hopefully be able to forward it to their Fleet.
"So you're basically going to wipe out all these worlds, and all the people in them just because two humble Nobodies managed to piss you off?" Seth said with a shrug, then added, "Can't say I'm not flattered. But you should know, my employer is
not going to be happy when he hears about this... which he should be right about nowish." Maybe, just maybe, the Emperor's fleet could muster up enough firepower to destroy this thing. Also, the message would naturally get passed along to the rest of the Team as well, signaling them that they should probably pick up the pace just a smidge and maybe try to come up with some kind plan to counteract this superweapon.
