Once upon a time, I used to cheer for May the 4th... now I cry with disappointment. *Except Clone Wars S7 and the Mandalorian - they are awesome*
Geno Boost Cool-Down Time (T-0 - Ready To Deploy!)
Geno - New Ability Gained! - Geno Borealis: Geno summons a volley of rainbow colored stars that bombard a limited range on the battlefield.
Direct Mentions:@Lugubrious Passing Mentions: @Old_Amsterdam (RIP)
The heroes were quick and utterly ruthless to punish the prideful king's haughty carelessness - with Mario and Spyro doing significant damage to the flying king's underbelly, while Geno continued firing more beams from afar. Yet even as they gave their all, Megadragonbowser was far from defeated. As he rose, both Mario and Spyro were thrown off him after he unleashed a powerful heated shockwave. As they landed on the hard stony surface, the star warrior above took most of the brunt force of the shockwave which knocked him back several meters. Their opponent's eyes began to glow a fearsome white, illuminating as bright as a miniature star. And his wounds poured liquid ichor of molten light that continued to intensify the heat within the throne room.
Before the fighters would continue to engage the boss however, three figures came rushing towards him in a particular order. The first robot rushed forward to strike, only to find itself brutally ripped apart by the boss's powerful jaws. Then, its owner proceeded to engage, only to be squashed by Megadragonbowser's powerful shell as she was crushed against the tyrant koopa's throne. As he launched a fireball towards Blazermate's turret, Mario found himself to be extremely close to ground zero and dodged just in the nick of time prior to it striking wherever it hit. And then, Zer0 swooped in with his sword in hand, ready to avenge his fallen friends as the robot plunged its sword deep into the boss's eye.
Yet the Koopa King barely reacted to it- in fact he simply laughed the wound off as the blade was completely melted off. Geno was completely mortified at the situation that unfolded. Now he not only had to worry about Bowser's fiery breath, but rather his entire body as a whole. One solid hit from the Koopa King and the wooden doll would find himself turned into a living torch. And just seconds, with a simple slice of his claw, Megadragonbowser effortlessly sliced the robot ninja into two, ending his service with the resistance...
Within the span of a mere minute, the boss had eliminated three valiant fighters.
Even with Ratchet being quickly able to recover the fallen spirits, the tone of the battle had shifted drastically. Mario wasn't entirely used to fighting such a brutal Koopa King - let alone one who could fly on its own. He needed to find a way to even the odds and fast. The plumber plunged his gloved hands into his overalls, searching everywhere for perhaps a lucky power up to assist him. Whether it be a fire flower, a tanooki suit icon, or better yet a star, anything could help him at this point. Yet while rummaging through his back overalls, he felt a smooth texture cup the palm of his hand. It felt to belong to that of a circular object. Mario quickly grabbed the object and pulled it out - revealing the iconic red-and-white Super Mushroom! This ought to help him once the time is right.
Meanwhile, Geno continued to fire his beams towards Megadragonbowser before he suddenly unleashed a different move altogether. He found his connection to Star Road somewhat more secure and felt connected to the skies above. He rose his hands into the sky as a swift barrage of small to medium-sized stars began to rush towards the boss's location - leaving a streak of rainbow-colored residue behind them. They would explode on contact with a solid surface, hopefully being straight into Bowser's face. But as Geno continued to focus on fulfilling as much damage towards the boss himself, he would suddenly recognize a purple blur rush by him.
"Wha~ little dragon!" he yelled towards Spyro in utter confusion, "What are you doing? Get back here before you~!"
But the purple dragon didn't seem to heed his call. In fact, the young dragon seemed to be fueled by anger towards Megadragonbowser's careless slaughter over their three allies. Was it still due to the waining effects of the dagger's influence from within the laboratory? Or was it purely out of vengeful free-will? Yet none of which seemed to add up to Spyro's careless and risky behavior as the dragon flew towards his foe as if engaging in a suicide rush. Yet unlike the three before him, Spyro did anticipate a counter and made preparations into invading it - and proceeding to issue a powerful head-butt towards one of his wings in an attempt to limit his mobility.
However did the cocky purple dragon really think this whole plan through?
Mordus Jain - what an odd name for a simple human. Apparently he was the one who stole half of Forde's map. Yet the secrecy of its contents still held behind the boy's creepy demeanor, giggling to himself loudly like an insane person, whilst repeating "It's all mine - mine!". His ramblings were already beginning to waste Titanica's time, as another blatant snort blared through her nostrils. However, Haley had intervened just in time to ask where this Mordus person is.
According to Forde, the other thief was last seen at Coldstep Pass with a couple of knights - who also got caught for digging up graves. Perfect. They're going to have to thaw yet another creepy gravedigger from the ice. Thankfully their person was able to cooperate with them just fine as they made their way towards the mountains ahead. Whilst she and the other guild members walked on foot (or flew if your name is Haley), Forde rode on a sickly mule, one heavily malnourished and near-starved. Titanica tried to ignore the poor creature, but even she had to admit that its owner should pay for the act of animal abuse - whether he did so or not.
Just then, Forde asked the girls something quickly.
"You said you needed me, girls. What for? And how did you come to know me? I worked real hard hiding myself from the world."
The titan sighed as she forced herself to respond.
"George Costava." she answered directly, "He needs you for a plan to break into Ravager's Rest. We were sent to collect you."
Once the scent brushed upon Morgan's furry antennae, the moth girl was soon overcome by such a powerful anesthesia as she tried to listen to Dr. Darren's response. The fact that her senses didn't seem to pick up any immediate disturbances seemed like a sign that this stuff was genuine. Then within seconds the twin appendages suddenly stiffened, warning the moth-girl that something was wrong. However, their attempts to alert the body were but several mili-seconds short, as Morgan found herself loosing conscious, falling onto the lap of one of the Liliraune and blacking out completely.
When Morgan suddenly opened her eyes, she found herself laying upon a field of lush-green grass. Her mind was still fuzzy, but she found herself physically touching the sweet grass underneath her dainty palms. She lurched up to assess her location, only to find herself surrounded by a thick blanket of fog that obscured her vision. Where was she? Surely this wasn't the apothecary's shop. Is she dreaming? It certainly felt like she was dreaming. Then again, she did feel like she was also truly awake. If this is what his anesthesia was capable of doing - putting someone to sleep - then this was a completely new experience to her.
But as the moth-girl continued to walk aimlessly around the fog-hidden background, her ears suddenly caught wind of an incoming object. Her eyes suddenly began to glow - sensing immediate danger - as they told her to jump out of the way as a swift red-object whizzed right by her.
"Wha~!" she yelped before colliding with the ground.
She got up again and quickly looked for whatever shot that poor bird at them. And once the fog began to recede some more, Morgan quickly caught sight of not one, not two, but three giant slingshots! And beside them, more angry birds of all different shapes and sizes, scowled at her, as they began to man their stations and prepare to fire.
What in Titan's name was in that Huwana?
Morgan's eyes continued to glow a bright yellow as another red bird began to fly towards her. Once again, the moth-girl's small stature and quick reflects made it easy for her to dodge the shot, before seeing a tiny blue bird squeal towards her. About half-way, the bird suddenly multiplied into three, forcing poor Morgan to duck for cover.
As she glanced over to her right, she immediately found Vivian and proceeded to come to her aid.
"Get up! Get up!" she yelled in a panicky notion as she shook her to get up, "We must get to cover!"
Titanica was moderately surprised that the boy was able to reveal himself so bluntly. She thought she was going to have to pull teeth from him, or chase him around the deck, but thankfully it didn't turn to be the case. Still, that didn't mean Forde had the most friendly of personas and he tried to shoo them away. But before the titan could respond with a somewhat negative essence, she realized that they were followed by the tiny harpy, Haley. How they didn't notice her presence earlier however, didn't matter to Titanica, as she only gave a snort of acknowledgement before proceeding to listen.
Turns out Forde hated humans - something that Titanica can reasonably empathize with - and all because of his partner having stolen half of a map. Whatever that map lead to definitely seemed extremely important to him, even to the point where he admitted into going 'half-insane' and not having washed himself for six whole months.
At least he seemed honest about how utterly loony he had become. And the pungent smell, well, it wasn't a joke either. Not as bad as one titan she fought - one that reeked with rotten corpses and toxic sulfuric acid - but this was still blatantly noticeable. After explaining the last bit on how his map got stolen, the Siren began to consult with both her ad Vara on the next course of action.
"I'm not keen on helping a deranged grave robber but we need him, right? Do you two think we should help the guy out?"
Vara definitely announced her feelings loud and clear - absolutely abhorring the boy and his deranged personality - however she was completely on board with just finishing this mission and getting it over with. Titanica seemed to feel the same way, only she was a bit less revealing than the demoness. However, she did empathize with Forde's hatred of people, although not nearly to the point that could drive her to madness like what he's in. Really, she was ready to take him by force - picking him up and tossing him over her shoulder - and go from there. But after hearing such a tragic tale befell this pitiful husk of a mere boy...
She issued another low-pitched irritable sigh before turning her attention back towards Forde.
"Where?" the titanic lady responded bluntly towards the point, "Who is he and where did he go?"
After traveling a considerable trip, Morgan and the others finally reached the small town of Ambran and began to walk their way through the bustling path. The moth girl was quick to gather much about her new surroundings, excitedly glancing over at the wondrous shops Ambran had to offer. She even took quick stops by local produce stalls to look at their exotic vegetables and fruit, almost being tempted to buy a few interesting specimens. Alas, she kept her funds controlled and continued to make their way towards their destination.
Upon entering the secluded apothecary shop, Morgan and the others were greeted by the owner and proceeded to let them in. Neil, however, was quite content in staying where he was, as he claimed he was extremely sensitive to the 'Huwana' and heavily advised them to be careful in there. Even though she felt confident that she would be fine, still Morgan didn't take that without some concern. Truly it couldn't be that bad as an anesthetic, but regardless she must still be on high alert. The alchemist inside did at least mention the event that took place during their prior visit.
But he did mention how he had made a new and improved strain of the anesthetic to be more 'conducive' to monster kind. However, Morgan still had to ask what exactly this 'Huwana' is, just to be safe and certain.
"And what exactly is this 'Huwana'?" she asked curiously.
Indeed, it was confirmed to be an anesthetic - one that had the same properties in calming the specimen down when in extreme pain. Apparently this stuff was banned by the Alchemist Guild, which Morgan couldn't help but to be somewhat curious as of why. However, being knowledgable in over 300+ different kinds of medicinal and toxic foliage, she ought to truly decipher the agents saturated within with her sensitive antennae. If they detected harmful substances within the air, she would be alerted as soon as the first waft hits them and can combat them through her own magic. Still, her natural resistance towards said toxins made her slightly less vulnerable to such chemicals, but that didn't mean she was completely invulnerable.
Once Morgan sat down to have the smoke waft come over them, she was going to ask the alchemist several questions about the product. However one of the attentive Altissima sisters was quick to ask nearly all of her questions in mind.
"What ingredients do you use to make this 'Huwana'? Why did the Alchemist's Guild ban it? As the authority on medicinal safety, they must have had good reasons. How will we know that your anesthetic works unless pain is inflicted upon us?"
And they were all good and valid questions to ask, as Morgan prepared for first contact with this mysterious substance.
With Donkey Kong now joining the fight, Mario rushed towards Megadragonbowser with his flaming fists ready to rip him a new one. However, before he could get close to him, the giant koopa quickly went into his shell and spun around on the ground towards he and several other players nearby. Quickly, the plumber was forced to react as he made it for the air with a towering double jump. He flipped over the dragon Bowser and watched him as he crashed into a pillar - flipping him over as he struggled to get back on his feet. The allies proceeded to pelt the opponent with all of their might and arsenal, but Mario wasn't going to use his regular ole' fireballs, no no.
He's gonna do this the old-fashioned (and way more satisfying) way.
With a smirk and no time to loose, the plumber once again ran towards the fallen boss. As he did, Mario began to start gaining more traction. He'd jump once... then twice... and as soon as he was just feet away from his foe, he leaped for a third time, launching himself into high into the air just in time to avoid slipping on the ice that Din casted on the ground. He found himself almost touching the ceiling, as he looked down to see the utterly helpless Flying Koopa belly-side up and utterly vulnerable. Mario's mass rapidly shifted downwards, proceeding to initiate a sitting motion as he proceeded to issue a powerful ground-pound right on top of his opponent's exposed belly!
But he wouldn't be the only fighter to think of this trick...

Taking superiority of the air, Geno and Spyro proceeded to engage the Koopa King from a safe distance. Both fighters unleashed their projectile attacks, with Geno firing more beam shots and charged shots, while Spyro simply used his fire breath to cast fire balls on Megadragonbowser. However, their shot success-rate would be limited as their opponent was bouncing all over the place. They couldn't seem to get a good shot at him. However, once the opposing Bowser went into his shell and was flipped over upon hitting a pillar, it couldn't have been the perfect opportunity to go full out on the dazed boss!
As everyone else proceeded to do the same, Geno moved in to unleash everything in his arsenal, quickly charging up and releasing a more powerful charged shot towards Megadragonbowser's face. In the meantime, Spyro hooked with with the running Mario as they both leapt into the air and made their attacks from above. Mario issued his ground-pound, while the purple dragon cocked his horned head downwards and charged with a powerful headbash! He may look small and feeble, but his looks don't truly reveal the amount of strength and durability he can take! And with his horns about to gore the fallen Bowser's vulnerable underbelly, this move was surely going to hurt!
With his Avatar heading back to Muspellheim for further instructions, Sartravius had to begin the opening preparations for conquest. He always knew that his efforts were going to be displeased by most of the other gods, but he didn't anticipate the first strikes against him to be so soon. With Arae and Dhara having beaten his Phoenix to forcedly tell them of his location, his location will no doubt be revealed to the other soon. With Dhara challenging death and bursting out of his belly with a new body particially influenced by him, his power would be challenged and used against him. And with Narzhak once again nearly killing his Avatar, he had to finally step in and assert his dominance - officially challenging the iron god to war.
Sartr had to be several steps ahead of his opponent if he was ever to take the advantage in this war. And of course, not just for Narzhak.
He even heard rumblings of the Phoenix incinerating a small island under the care of the goddess Azura prior to landfall on Dragon's Foot. And with more continents and islands raising around him, he could feel a new phase in the air. It was coming soon... very soon. And if they engulf his chances of glorious conquest, he would be in serious trouble. To ensure his dominance over his domain and as a god himself, it was time for him to act and get stuff done.
This lead him back to the Molten Pool - the very same one that bore the Phoenix into Galbar - and plunged himself within its boiling pool. He approached the middle of the lake and stood completely still, while only revealing the top half of his head. He closed his eyes, letting go of his sense as he felt himself being absorbed into the magma. He could feel his essence across the realm of Galbar, even so far as to feeling the magma from Mt. Eldahverr from across the world.
If only he and his units could get there without having to traverse the entire continent barred by ocean... yes. That would be extremely helpful.
The magma around Sartr began to bubble, while he forced his mind to become completely blank - fully absorbing himself into the pool. He found himself surging through the magma tubes, going at speeds faster than he ever could imagine. This lasted a good minute or so before he felt himself returning to his physical body. When he awoke, he sensed the lava around him to be... different. He rose to the top of the volcano and bursted from the cauldron to look at his surroundings.
He wasn't in Muspelheim anymore.
To the north, Sartr stared over the Desert of Sandravii stretch, one that could be seen as far as the eye could see. He immediately recognized that he was on Mt. Eldahverr and that the warping process had actually worked. Now he had access to both volcanoes in which he can warp to and fro in a matter of minutes. He has essentially turned his volcanoes into direct gateways towards his realm - each to act as an embassy to where they were erected. In fact, from here on out, all volcanoes erected upon Galbar would act as gateways to Muspellheim in of themselves. A wretched grin seethed from his mouth as he then connected with the boiling lava and quickly found himself right back at Muspell.
And he wasn't done just yet.
Now that his warp-traveling options had been solved, he needed to create something that could act as a powerful weapon of mass destruction. While he will no doubt develop his warriors and units to be battle-ready, he needed to have a back-up plan of some kind just in case everything went south. It would be a weapon of last resort, one which held such immense strength and destruction that the continent holding it would bend its knees upon its very ignition. And there was one such idea, he had in mind, that can achieve this.
He will create a volcano. But not just any volcano. This one would be different. This one would eventually dwarf all that he had created, or even create. It's molten reservoir hotspot would span for miles upon miles, already enough to change the ecosystem around it just by its presence alone. And when it would erupt, all hell would break loose as it would be enough to ruin the opposing army several times over and perhaps even the continent it lain upon. This... was a Supervolcano.
And Sartr knew a place in which to put the foundations.
The Continent of Atokhekwoi was both the largest and the most recent continent to have been created at this point in time. The gods are still rushing to take their place within tis vast space of free land. Only two pockets of divine locations had been created to Sartr's knowledge - which included a forest location across from the Fell Islands to the west and the Kangjiang river to the east. It was the perfect location for his supervolcano.
Thus, he proceeded to lay the foundations underneath a mountain range on the shores of an inlet. A deep depression made way for the creation of a supermassive caldera, one which swallowed several mountains before it finally ceased its outwards activity. The mountains of raw rock and ore would then collapse into the supervolcano, melting into the magma reservoir as it began to expand through the tough crust. Unlike the violent outburst of Mt. Eldahverr, this volcano was created in a more calm manner - without violent eruptions or magma and ash being spewed out all over the continent. In fact, Sartr knew that such a devastating volcano would have to use a lot of power in order to successfully erupt. Power that the Fire God did not currently have that is, however no doubt he would earn it in due time. This was to be kept secret - or at the very least an unassuming look - hidden within the natural terrain of the mountains.
But little would anyone know the sheer firepower that lurked just underneath... ready to erupt when the time came.
Preparing for conquest and war, Sartr initiated a new gateway to connect Mt. Eldahverr and all other volcanoes from there-on-out to Muspellheim for more convenient travel for he and his future units. In addition, he also prepares the foundations for a supervolcano on the continent of Atokhekwoi - for the advent that he needs to utilize it for maximum damage. Of course, making it erupt will require a ton of MP and a whole lot of fourth-wall approval. Supervolcano location is here.
MP/FP Spending Summary - 7 MP to create gateway from Mt. Eldahverr to Muspelheim. - 8 FP to create foundations for a supervolcano (25 MP to erupt) = - 15 FP
