Well, there goes that plan. With all the chaos going on, everyone was prioritizing defense over bumrushing the marshmallow fucker. Atleast the Timekeeper did something about the wisps in armor. Magic worked, but the spirits quickly recovered and turned to fighting with fists instead. Whatever happened around him he paid no mind, opting to evade the gauntlets' blows.

Then, the spirits fled. Gunther as well.

The boy glanced over at the reason. Billy, though battered, scared the ghost away. The green-haired doc appeared soon after just as wounded. Though as he kept looking, waiting, he felt anxious again. What happened? Is Justin dead? Where's Betty? Then another woman appeared. A jovial scientist. He didn't realize it was Veronica until she mentioned the notice she posted on Shimr. That anxiety turn to dread once she told everyone what happened.

They failed.

Justin fled, and took Betty with him.

And if the boy's view of G.E.M.I.N.I. hadn't been soured enough, Veronica's tangent about how the freelancers should've just stayed out of it among other things made his conflicting emotions worsen. He felt a bitter retort bubbling, trying to escape his throat. He felt like his knees would give out, the urge to give in to their blame and tell them: "You're right." Or "It's my fault."

...It was his fault, wasn't it.

Fears. Regrets. The boy resisted the urge to cover his ears as Veronica and Billy argued, gloved hands running through his hair as he tried to calm down. Too loud.

Why did he care so much?

Why did he let this happen?

Someone shut them up. Please.

Finn's head snapped towards Veronica when she revealed the mansion was a connection to what he assumed was Maverick's HQ. He trembled out of some unknown emotion when she looked back at him. That apology meant nothing. Then once she gave the Freelancers an ultimatum, he deflated. His arms went slack back to his sides, and the ground suddenly looked more interesting than the remains of the room. He almost looked like a lifeless puppet. With all the shit he went through being for nothing? He suddenly felt empty.

They failed.

He failed.

With one more look at his team, he frowned in regret. It worsened when he looked at Klava.

Finn breathed out. "I'm sorry..." I can't do this anymore. He only hoped those who remained would survive. And that they wouldn't hold this, and his foolishness against him. He was tired, drenched in blood, and felt like he had gone through every stage of grief in a damn minute. Perhaps longer. The boy shambled past the agents, and to the exit.

He just wanted to go home.

...

...Huh. He didn't realize how tight the grip on his instrument was.

"So much for letting this play out like a proper story arc."
- Valerie


Valerie steadied her breathing. She refused to loose her temper. Even as Ronin tried to justify her so called "sensei"'s stupidity, or as Sann tried to pin the blame on her for not showing up sooner. The android simply drowned out the voices that didn't matter, and watched as the only reinforcement users around stablized Caroline back to health. Otherwise she'd assume the others were trying to gaslight her or some shit.

Sakura's recovery wasn't her concern. It was only fortunate that her words were taken another way. Once Justine asked about a purification potion, Valerie nodded, and contacted Maura through their coms.

"You're kidding!"

"Wish I was."

Maura mentally sighed. "We didn't expect her to appear so suddenly. I'll look around, see if Eliza grabbed a potion before she left!"

With that, she turned back to Justine. Though before she could answer, the vulgar serpent had spoken up again, spouting insults like she used to know the vampire. Without looking back, the android's eyes widened at the pathetic apology and thank you Justine gave Sakura.

Dont apologize.

She mouthed to the vampire. Whether or not it'd be noticed wouldn't matter. Valerie coldly watched as Sakura left. As much as she wanted to simply flip her off in return. She couldn't help herself.

<<"You should count your blessings, Susanoo-San. But I sincerely doubt this fool's method will save you forever.">> She'd say as the dragon girl left.

Maybe now thing'll calm down?

Hah. No.

For a moment, Valerie tensed up at the implications that Sonia was nearby. Great. Might as well drag Father here as well, make this a hell of a family reunion! She scanned around the area until she saw the maid in the distance, and her brows furrowed. Sword in hand, she stepped in between the sisters and Sonia.

"Here I was thinking you died during that bullshit raid." The android spoke up. "Well then, are you going to try and kidnap them back to Father? While one of them is in comatose?? Sell them to the Mint, or Beacon? Or are you going to be reasonable??"




"The chase begins."
"Down the rabbit hole we go!"
- Finn and Oliver


Finn snorted at Mayra's bold response. "Five's unreasonable but eight isnt?!"

Other than that one response, both their focus was on eliminating the monsters in a dance of flame and darkness. In all honesty, it was kinda fun! And they were clearing them out quick enough before anything bad happened. The dragon lady even chucked one into a portal. Though he flinched once Penny (when did she get here?) made a quick contribution via gauss round. He snapped his head towards the mechanical monarch, and nodded in thanks.

And once it was said and done, the boy spun around back to Mayra with an excited grin.

"That. Was. AWESOME!" He cackled, his eye lit up. "Sucks that the culprit fled before I could shank 'em, but..." Finn drew his attention to the envelope left by the mysterious man. Returning his blade back to it's sheath, he hurried over and grabbed it. Whatever it was, he just knew it'd be important. He opened the letter and read it.

An alias, "The March Hare". An urgeny, to the brothers and sisters of Penrose from the "Unifiers of Wonderland", to welcome them with open arms so they may be freed from the tyranny of the "Powers" (Patrons most likely) and join them as equals.

"Hmm..." Finn held a fist under his chin in thought. So many things to concider. What is the Nexus? Who are the Unifiers of Wonderland? Who was the March Hare speaking to on the Phone? And why do they plan on overthrowing the Patrons? He'd have to find more clues before making any solid theories.

At this point Oliver had appeared, having called off his duplicates and went after Finn and Mayra. Seeing the aftermath of the side battle, the ghost popped up beside the other boy as he looked over the letter. "What'cha got there, Holmes?"

Finn looked over to Oliver, then everyone else that was in the area, and read the note outloud. Afterwards, he'd ask:

"Anyone know about...any of this?" He held out the clue with one hand, and held his cane in the other.
@Dark Cloud

Hey uh, ya ditched the DM.

What's cookin? Cause I dunno what you wanna do from this point.

For a moment, the boy could only watch his allies fight from where he hid. Combining the speedster note with a slick one, Klava attempted to ambush the opposing group. Which that...didn't really do anything. The staff wielder rushed for cover too and summoned some mini tornado before the Maiden could attack her, the demon guy seemed to have dissapeared, the dark knight blocked the first slash at her legs, and well, you'd have to do more than trip someone to take them out. Apollo provided a "flashbang" for Klava then went to cover Tetrad, who was distracting the horned soldier and sniper. Surprisingly, no one went to attack him.

Okay, that's a good thing, all things concidered. But it slightly confused him. Maybe he wasn't actually a threat to the agents?

The Timekeeper's attention was turned to Apollo's rantings. Seems even he knows this fight is stupid, though he hoped the faceless guy wasn't dragging him into that. He didn't ask for this either! The mention of Justin's remaning goons made the boy anxious. That is the last thing they needed. He listened to the counterargument the shield-holder had against Apollo's rant.

Hm.

So that's how it is? How fickle. What G.E.M.I.N.I. and Maverick Alternative had going wasn't the freelancers' concern, but to alienate who you'll probably fight with next time is just...sad. Can't simply wait this out huh?

He'd get his answer soon enough. A "Speak of the Devil" moment, Gunther had appeared from the statue soon as reinforcements for Maverick appeared. Oh good, protector's okay! That relief was short lived when the ghost sent out way too many spirits for the boy's liking and used the room itself as a weapon. And of course the suits of armor came to life. Fable snapped his head towards the knights the moment they began to move. "Oh hell..." He uttered, stepping back and away from the new adversaries. Three of them. Hm...

Perhaps he can take them all down at once. The boy blocked and dodged anything he could, waiting for the right moment to ensnare the phantoms in an AoE melody. "So now what?! Are you going to continue trying to murder eachother, or shut the hell up, band together, and kill that Stay Puff reject?!?" He yelled to...basically everyone that wasn't Gunther.

Albedo @Lugubrious, Linkle @Gentlemanvaultboy, Papyrus @Dark Cloud

Frisk chuckled at Linkle's reaction. "Yeah, I can poke it and stuff easy peasy. It usually pops out on it's own when I'm entering a fight, so it's kind of a double edged sword." They explained. "I just drag it out myself to check how I'm holding up." Speaking of, they cupped the heart shapped object around their hand and gently shoved it back into their chest. Then Albedo revealed that he didn't know much about his power. Mainly, it was the amber-colored charm that he held up for them to see.

Curious. The child guessed that it was some sort of artifact. They didn't know much about how the wizards in back in their own world worked, but some could've used artifacts as a foci for their magic, right? They could probably prod Albedo for whatever info he had on it another time. Dromarch came back in the room with their drinks. Frisk grabbed theirs, taking careful sips to avoid burning their tongue. Then the lion went to grab his master.

Once Mia appeared, their brows rose. Though they didn't question it. Opposites tend to attract after all. Their brows remained risen at the healing dance that patched Treat up. The wolfgirl still seemed tense about there being a different animal-eared person around her. As she was reassured, Frisk simply finished the rest of their drink. They weren't always good with words.

Until something crossed their ears that confused them. "Uh...an internet???" They tilted their head as the others kept refering to the internet like it's a species of animal. Did...they not know what it was? Wait, didn't Linkle say time was a bit screwy in whatever-this-place-was-called?

Oh geez, either they're from a point in the past, or their worlds didn't have internet! Maybe Frisk should go with them to make sure they don't mess anything up. They were about to speak up again when Papyrus wanted to grab some stuff from his place. "Wait, isn't it nighttime?" They mumbled, putting their snowcap back on and getting up from their seat. The child looked back at Linkle and Albedo with a nervous smile. "We uh, won't be gone long!" Hopefully they won't. "What you're looking for is a computer, not 'an internet'. The internet's just something computers need. A computer has a screen with a board of different letters, numbers, and symbols on it attached." They explained, hurrying to catch up with Papyrus. "I can help with it once we find one, but for now I gotta follow him!" With that, the child stepped out the door.
@Gentlemanvaultboy

Planned on it, I can just have Frisk assure them the trip to Paps' house will be quick or something.

I know I'm behind this week just felt long.
Yeah, full on outage.

"Congrats, you made me actually do something."
- Valerie


"WHAT THE FUCK."

Back at Maura's interdimensional lair, Valerie and Lauren were busy setting up a super computer made by the android girl herself. Though she still had access to the traffic cams she hacked into weeks ago, and was able to keep an eye on the attacks going down. It seemed Justine heeded her directions to Caroline, but didn't say if she needed the extra help. So, Valerie assumed things would turn up better.

Oh how damn wrong she was.

The emerald haired Witch of Order flinched at the otherwise chill girl's outburst, and turned to look at her. "Must I dare ask??" Lauren asked.

With a twiching eye, Valerie prepared to head out. "A braindead asshat somehow one-shotted Justine's sister." She bluntly explained. Lauren rose a brow.

"Don't we only need one of them? What's the problem?"

The android grabbed her weapon. "First off, it looked like Caroline was pacified enough to leave until that pink-haired bitch decided to play with fire. Probably to flex their strength or some crap. Second, Maura planned on getting her purified and stuff for Justine's sake so she won't...I don't know, have that sort of incentive to recorrupt?? Fucking- Just hold the fort till I get back!" She had to contact Maura through magicoms to be deposting near Justine via Cradle.

Once she arrived at the bank, she sprinted towards Justine, and stopping with a skid, she knelt down beside her and the murdered(?) Caroline. She took a glance around at who was there with them. Two of Amanda's friends, Ronin and her sister, the angel lady Finn was uncomfortable with, and the pink haired one-trick horse. With a cold glare to Sakura, Valerie drew her blade and held it defensively. "You better not think about taking down a vulnerable girl now, asshole." She growled, before checking Caroline's pulse. Thinking of what she could do to fix this, she glanced towards Ronin and Miko...and Sann concidering she was holding them back like a mother duck.

"Can one of you stablize her real quick? Any ideas on reviving her??"


"Remind me to dunk Angela into a trashcan later into the story, K?"
"Nvm she has a header now, all good!"
- Finn and Oliver


Meanwhile back at the industrial district, the battling magicals were apparently starting to loose their momentum. With Justine fleeing to find her sister, Finn heading out to behead whatever's behind the monster attacks, and-

Oh?

Seemed the only real fire-based magical in the battlefield had ditched fighting to talk with Oliver. And still scratched up at that! While his clones remained vigilant in combat, the real one took a moment to talk. "Hi. Chemical fire. Maybe later. Maybe later." He answered in rapid fire as Mayra asked him several questions. Then when she mentioned Finn's beast magic at work, she realized the other boy had ran off, and quickly went after him.

Okay then.

Maybe he should let him know about the dragon girl approaching him.

...Nah.

Atleast they didn't have to worry about any more wendigoes, seeing the royal power couple make quick work of them like gang busters.

Meanwhile, once Mayra caught up with Finn, the boy's eye widended in surprise. Holy shit. It's a fuckin' dragon! And apparently she was curious about his magic? "Let's deal with the root of this attack first, 'kay??" Was the only answer he could give Mayra at the moment. As they began to hear someone talking, the boy quickly stopped silent, motioning the dragon girl to stay quiet. He led the way, following the voice into the production hall. Seeing who the voice belonged too, Finn tensed up, carefully reaching for his weapon. Apparently whoever this masked man was working for, sounded like they were planning on invading Penrose.

Unfortunately the guy noticed them before he got more information. Great.

Finn quickly drew Briar Rose out of it's sheath as the red rabbit placed what was probably a calling card on the window, then turned to face them. Before he could say or do much, the masked man had summoned a whoping ten wendigoes to ambush the two.

This idiot had beast magic? Minions?? Either way,

"I FUCKING KNEW IT!!" Enraged, Finn atempted to attack the red rabbit, only to be forced on the defensive once a wendigo tried to attack him. He could only watch the culprit flee. Bastard. Once the boy drove his sword into the monster's skull and blasted it with another fire attack, he slid back to stand back to back with Mayra.

"So, there's ten of them and two of us. I'd say, split the work load? Five and five??" Atleast until Oliver caught up with him. Any more attacks, Finn would bounce between blocking and attacking with his sword, and roasting whatever got stunned. Hopefully the buffs from the Angel of Hope and Dina would last long enough for this to be quick.

"A little???"
Current Location: Von Carnage Mansion, Inner Circle

In all honesty, the boy expected to get yelled at for his foolish actions, mentally preparing himself for that outcome. Surprisingly to him, that wasn't the case.

While Fable was left unable to move, he could still hear the sound of footsteps approaching. And well, some cursing, but that's probably normal concidering what they'd run into. Klava was the first to stop by the poor kid, looking over what wounds he suffered before helping him up. Holding back a pained whimper, he was forced to put most of his weight on his good leg whilst holding his wounded shoulder. When asked if he was continuing, the boy was about to answer until Apollo grabbed his head. Fable visibly tensed in confusion. "Th-The hell?!" He would've assumed the faceless healer was going to smash his head against the wall or some crap, if he didn't realize his upper wounds were healing.

Well, the aggressive "headpat" wasn't really called for, but atleast Apollo wasn't willing to leave him for dead. Yet.

Once Finn's arm was healed, he lightly shook it to make sure it regained feeling, then wiped away whatever stray tears were left. He looked back to Apollo. "Thanks. Really." The boy nodded, furrowing his brows once he saw someone was missing. Where did Protector go? Even if he decided to bow out, that'd just leave three strained espers against god-knows-what. He didn't exactly have a choice, did he? Klava told him to leave dealing with Betty to them. The least he could do is share what he learned.

"Spores. Black spores. Nature element, I-I think." The Timekeeper started to explain as Tetrad helped him walk. His leg was still broken. "She used one of those powerful notes. A defensive one. I tried to fight, I really did! But I couldn't lay a dent on her, melody or not!" Finn frowned, looking aside in shame. "...I'm sorry."

Eventually the group entered another room, one filled with decor both expected like suits of armor, and tacky. The boy rose a brow at the bull statue in the center. Man, Justin must be one vain asshole. But the layout of the pavement was what caught his eye. The checkered paterns reminded him of a chessboard, and the colors of checkers. Both board games revolved around taking down a king and opposition.

How well his thoughts would befit the next chain of events.

The larger lineup of espers didn't go unnoticed. Even as Fable tightened his grip on his weapon, his eyes widened once he recognized who was leading them. "Doc...?" The last thing he wanted was to fight G.E.M.I.N.I. Though both thoughts probably didn't matter. Both Binky and Billy stepped away to talk, leaving the opposing teams to eye at each other like a western standoff. He hid behind Klava.

Why did they have to fight?

Did they have to fight? They had a common enemy, and yet both leaders were...okay, apparently they are working together while the rest fight each other for them?? Tetrad took the opportunity to heal the Timekeeper's leg, but he was starting to feel a bit anxious. "H-Hey, do we really have do fight the-" Unfortunately, he was interrupted by one of the agents opening fire at them. With a yelp, the boy hurried to take cover behind the farther armoire. After the last free for all in the cellar, he wasn't exactly up for going on the offensive for this one. But he had plenty of mana to act as support.

"If you got any bright ideas best use 'em now!!"

From behind his hiding spot, he aimed a lightning bolt and fired a passive melody at Klava to bolster her speed. He couldn't really do much other than wait and steel himself other than that. The boy wasn't built for fighting from afar besides using melodies.

One of the agents getting the idea of approaching him though? Highly likely.
Hmm...

Do I, or do I not do the Path of Pain??
