FINAL CONFRONTATION






Throughout this week, you all have been hard at work preparing for your final confrontation with the person behind all of this - Neo Metal Sonic. His fleet of ships has taken over the skies, and Tails has been working on a means to get you safely onto the correct one. Given that you've all been called into the workshop today, it seems like it's finally time.

"I've got the correct coordinates and we're ready to go. We'll all be joining you in this fight."

Sonic nods and continues, "Let's avoid a repeat of last time, yeah? I'm still going to try to keep his attention on me since the plan is still the same - you guys have gotta knock the Master Emerald outta him!"

"You all have had some practice with your powers and with what the Master Emerald can do, so you should be better prepared for this fight. Still, remain on guard!"

Tails flicks the device to life and a portal opens. Unlike the rings, this one doesn't show where exactly you'll be going. "Everyone ready? Let's put an end to this."

You arrive in the interior of one of those ships - the long hallway you're in is made of thick, dark silver steel, with absolutely nothing in the way of dΓ©cor. The way behind you leads to a door - gated shut, with seemingly no way to open it from this side - while the path ahead of you leads up a small flight of stairs to what can only be described as a throne. It is simplistic in design and still made of that dark, practical steel without any adornments or embellishments, but it provides Neo Metal Sonic a height advantage to loom over you, something he couldn't really manage on most of you without taking to floating.

He sits in the chair now, red eyes fixed on all of you. One elbow is propped on the arm of the chair and his chin leans against his hand, giving off the air of "bored monarch" that he's probably going for.

"So you've arrived. You've kept me waiting."

He gets up then, rising to float as he had before, sparks of that familiar green Chaos Energy flaring to life around him. "Let's not waste any more time. I'll destroy you all here and now. And you," his eyes flick to Sonic, "will trouble me no further."

"Does it even really count when I'm not the version of Sonic you've fought before...?"

"Silence." Sonic shrugs and Neo Metal Sonic dismisses him, turning his attention back to you all. "You all have caused enough problems for me. Once I've crushed you all, nothing will be able to stop me."

( mafuyu is- relieved that lark woke up before this shit started. she was NOT sure how they were going to manage, otherwise. especially with how much it all hurts- but...

well.

if they can do anything... maybe it's time she reaches out in a way that she knows best.

using sunday's power, mafuyu lands lightly on one of the ships, and sings- it's a melancholy song, and yet it is a refusal to give up, even in the face of persecution, of despair, of death. and it grants a hella buff, yes. )

[...it is kind of hard to determine shadows here with everyone floating and shit. but you know. he CAN just. jack Turo's crystal power and make crystal spears he can shoot at the red chaos emerald.]

[What's that you said? Get in close? DONT MIND IF SHE DOES.

Long-range was typically Jinx's style, but everyone's doing that and it's boring. Jinx is furious and she's heading straight for Metal.

With a (14) to fly through the obstacle filed Metal Madness was generating, Jinx is practically a blue (and violet) blur across the sky. She gets clipped, hard by Metal's Chaos Waves (2) but right now, she's too angry to care.

She's going for a direct strike, a spinning dash if you will, straight at the monster's midsection.

[Jinx will attempt to cut her way through with a round of... very large explosions. But with a (6) she's going to be held up a while.]

I'll take care of them! Get to him!

[ Percy takes a swing at the metal robots, and he orders his bear to do the same after dodging the lightning (15). He'll keep thrashing about. ]

[ Wednesday flies, but it's mostly sort of standing in the air menacingly?

The effect is hampered by the iridescent rainbow glow and all-white outfit she's picked up, which seems to have. Caused a sneezing fit that kept her from participating in the first two rounds, apparently? Turns out she's literally allergic to color. ]


... I suppose this is meant to say something about how much I've changed.

[ Anyway, Super Wednesday (Thursday?) is going to flamethrower her way through some robots to keep them from exploding on her. ]

Enid can never know about this.

[Dorothy accesses the situation briefly, wondering what she can do. Metal Madness seems to be shrugging off their attacks so easily--they'll likely need to get closer, but Dorothy can already see that won't be nearly as easy as it looks. She inwardly tries to calculate the best course of attack, and...

While the power is foreign to her, Dorothy is going to attempt to draw upon the power dearly beloveds, attempting if nothing else to see if she can't make Metal Madness a little more sluggish in movement with the bubble and amplify the damage of everyone else--it's going to require some concentration on her part, but she doesn't feel confident enough to dive in at her own crystal yet.

She can help the others, though. There's no I in team, and Dorothy wants to be a team player this time.]

Eh, I don't think so.

[He weaved past the lightning bolt(14), taking the first shockwave hit before summoning a shield as he started to get a little closer; the second shockwave struck it, unleashing a burst of lasers in counterattack he made an attempt at directing towards the swarming robots.]

[Turo blasts through one wave of Chaos Energy easily enough, then the second, the minor damage left behind quickly healing within a few seconds. It almost feels natural for that to happen right now - natural enough that he ignores his own pain and damage entirely. He pulls on the power he shares with More this time, programming a small swarm of crystals to go and fly after those flying robots, trying to destroy them with something that can be safely exploded.]

[Fukuda's only dodging one of the three lightning bolts aimed at him (12, 4, 7). On top of the Chaos energy. He's looking pretty bedraggled, but he's also laughing.]

I see! You heard I've been killed by lightning before and figured you'd need to hit me extra hard for it to make a difference! Jokes on you, because I'm stronger than Anaido! He doesn't have a hole, you see!!
[He's a little incoherent, possibly because of the electrocution.

Anyway, he's going to generate a gravity well to try and draw some of the robots out of the diamonds' path. Get lost, robots.]

[ Though the damage is undodgeable and his duplicates aren't as durable as he is, he simply tanks the ensuing explosions (making sure that they stay near him and no one else, so there's no damage to his allies...), heals, and resummons the lost duplicates. It's stupid, reckless, and a move he wouldn't do if not in a Super form at the moment. But there's no reason to hold back at this stage.

Those reinforcements might become a problem, though. So he chooses to focus his and his duplicates's attacks this round on one of the ships below with reinforcement robots. pew pew. ]

[ Good thing Lark woke up before this all went down, or he would have been pretty mad. Though if he managed to sleep through the Chaos Energy waves, then he may as well be dead already.

He figures that since the others already have offense handled, he should try supporting them. Recalling the shardbond with Mafuyu, Lark calls forth a winter thunderstorm. Enemies will roll with disadvantage to attack and take damage over time, and allies will roll with advantage to dodge for the next three turns. Just, hopefully no one minds snow and thunder. ]

[Raven can't dodge his way out of the lightning strike (9), and the ensuing waves of chaos energy momentarily knock him into a downward spiral until he manages to right himself.

He shifts his bow into a blade for this turn and slices into the air, sending massive crescents of light into the robot swarms.]

[ It is what it is, isn't it? There's quite a bunch of enemies hanging around.

Anyway, if they closer to the Emerald crystal, and then try to like go invisible by refraction of light or whatnot and other techniques from shards, they're going to next hope it's enough to keep Metal Madness from being able to do anything about an apparently large light blade coming down on it. ]

[ damn. wolfwood is going to get struck by lightning ( 6 ) and it's going to hurt. being pelted again by the chaos energy isn't exactly pleasant either but if you think that'll discourage wolfwood from not doubling down on what he had been doing to keep neo from moving away from them, especially with jinx trying her thing, he'll move the gravity well closer so that if he tries to escape that they'll have even more time to counter/prevent that from happening.

of course, he's well aware of what that means in terms of putting himself in danger. but, true to being a multitasker, wolfwood will also fire some light beams at neo from the closer range. (while maybe keeping tabs on what happens if he lingers closer to the onyx colored gem.) something something, you gave him "god mode" and he's just going to fight recklessly. the man can heal himself while taking damage (again) so why worry about what that'll mean for him after? everyone is able to heal themselves now so he's allow to gamble a bit more.
