I learned all about the War of 1812. Your generalizations betray you Connor.

Bio
Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.
Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.

One simply walks into America and burns the Presidential Mansion to the ground.
True, true. We were feeling bad for 'em, so we let them have a symbolic victory before we had the real one.
<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>
I understand that, I do. So then we are just waiting for @Slendy?
I've ignored him for now.
Vengeful Cia received an odd tilt of Aforgomon’s head. When the gohma arose from the earth around it, however, the Great One did not hesitate. Screaming, it swiped at the nearest gohma’s head, splattering its entire upper half into mud. Another, molded like a shark with centipede legs, lunged forward to bite its ankle. Its fangs pierced the shambler’s gruesome excuse for skin, drawing forth a brownish ichor that instantly shifted the creature into an alternate dimension. Still another, a great mongoose, dove for it, but to its misfortune the clutching hands of Aforgomon grasped its body and pulled it, shrieking, in half. All the while, the knowledge seeped into Cia’s head. Your monumental naivety is worth of a squealing lemming, not the mantle of godhood. When the travelers of the vast abyss sought to destroy this earth, I cooperated with the consumed nightmare god to recall the disease that ended them. I saved this world, while the legion of newborns dithered about. Cia suddenly knew it to be true.
The earth sought to devour Aforgomon, but the Great One transcended those wordly binds. Faded partially out, it merely walked through the mass of churning soil. All of creation is accursed to have you. Billions of innocents slaughtered for the sake of ease. I weep with them, as one in trance. It held its glittering hands out over the shield that guarded the self-righteous one, and from jagged holes of light in its palms spewed forth lava from a burnt dimension. If it did not break through the barrier, it would turn to diamond-hard obsidian around it. Even now, I can change it all. My father is greater than I, but I am my father’s son. I am who I am. Do you doubt me? My niece does not.
A trio of gohma arose at Aforgomon’s back to destroy it. Before they could law claws on him, their bodies were sundered with a flash of glinting iron. Behind Aforgomon stood Cythella, newly reborn from the dreams of the Merged gods thanks to the power of the Great One. The noisome maw of Aforgomon seemed to smile. Dreams are my reality. My niece lives again. The humans can live again. Doubt us not! For a moment, Aforgomon seemed to pause. It had let something slip.
Meanwhile, Poseidon knew better than to come into the melee range of Flemmings. The old god surrounded himself in a raging typhoon, constantly pushing anything around him away while threatening to drown them and allowing him to smoothly retreat. Jets of boiling water lambasted Flemmings, and the barbed limbs of the Kraken stretched from pools of water to lacerate his godly flesh.
Amphibious Aforgomon’s mouth opened wide, exposing a skinless green face with a deathly, jeering grin. Challenged by some beast? You have much to learn about greatness. Be still while I instruct—moving will make it worse.
It held out its rubbery claws, and between its wart-covered palms a tiny black dot began to beat. Faster and faster it fluctuated, growing denser and denser, until the seabed strider threw it forward. Abruptly the black hole erupted into a singularity of gravity and darkness, pulling in everything that wasn’t nailed down and most things that were to crush them all into a single spot no bigger than the head of a pin. Aforgomon alone withstood it perfectly, its form becoming like ethereal water as it faded partially into the infinite abyss. The crumplezone roared forward toward Rhona’s house, but against three Merged Aforgomon couldn’t afford to waste a single second. It raised its arms in a salute to the moonlight sea, and from the sky columns of watery light surged down to blast Leon and Miriam. All the while, however, the alternate Great One left its face uncovered.

I have real life issues to deal with, and I'm still waiting for people. Have you ever heard the expression 'you can't rush art'?
@Lugubrious
What kind of amphibian is it, anyway?
The version of Aforgomon attacking them has amphibian traits, namely its skin and a head inside its mouth, such as the Demon of Song here:
Though it still has the bipedal body shape.
Something just occurred to me. Qrow came to Beacon to swap intel with Ozpin and watch the Vytel festival. I don't know about the previous rounds but at the very least he should have been watching the round that his niece was involved in Yang Vs Mercury. So why didn't he recognize Mercury, they fought during that stuff with the Fall Maiden and even Mercury was worried that Qrow would recognize him when he saw Qrow fighting Winter. Why didn't Qrow raise the alarm.
If you look back at episode 7, you can see someone using some sort of face-disguising blur after Qrow appears. I'm guessing their faces were obscured. Not a particularly good excuse, since show logic dictates everyone only ever has one outfit, but whatever.
@Cuccoruler but whyyyyyyyyyy?!?!? DX
All humans are dying, nothing happened to Leon, and Rhona's comatose. You call that punishment?
Lookin at the Aforgomon post, can't help but feel that it's a bit OP, not sure if any of us are going to survive that. If you lower the number of gods to two per merged character I would feel a bit more comfortable.
The merged are going to beat them, though. There's no question of it, since the next chapter exists. This is just a final boss battle. Only a couple of the old gods are at full power anyway; the others are easier. For example, Sekhmet and Freya will be fighting at good power. Ullr, Tyr, Heimdall, and Sol aren't as strong. Find a way, folks.
I have no intention of carrying Aforgomon over into the next chapter, so you know. If anyone else was thinking of killing off their old character, this is just an opportunity to do so, just so Aforgomon isn't as much of a joke.
