So came the barrage as Diyem gave the signal. He raised his claws and snapped them, forming a bolt of black lightning that rallied them all to rush in. He called upon Eien, Ionys, Xernatus, and Sword to fall back and be ready to support, but he knew it wouldn't be needed. He instead watched...

Diyem shared a knowing glance at Bahamut, then at the others readying to strike. Yes. If they could coordinate it well enough... The Shadow leviathan charged his claws, whole body alight with the dark. "Hold one of your strikes, and I will assist once the others dispatch its outer body. That...

"Stop acting like the edgelord too cool for school," Cal countered. Owen tilted his head. "Doesn't he have fifteen years until he gets to that phase?" Owen ducked, narrowly dodging an incoming meteor, though that was meaningless considering he was still intangible. "E-everyone! That storm's...

Then came the onslaught--the onslaught of a new reality, desperate to persist. It was a never-ending hailstorm of attacks. No matter what they did, it seemed like that was going to come down nonstop. This thing was desperate--but it was also vulnerable. Finally, finally vulnerable. It has...

"Fine, fine!" Sword growled, staring daggers at the puppets. "You know, I don't really know what these guys are... But it's starting to really piss me off! Hey! You guys all yammering on about truth and despair... Guess what! I may not be all that smart, but I'm smart enough to know when...

"W̴h̶y̷ ̵w̷o̷n̴'̵t̴ ̵y̵o̴u̴ ̵f̸a̶l̶l̵?̷!̸" The Eternal Blacklight curled again, taking so many hits, completely overwhelmed by everything that had been dealt to it. Its defenses were waning; everything it was trying to do was nothing against the team's increased power. It looked like it was...

"Right... Aim at... at that one!" Eien nodded, then shifted her whole body toward that Divine Power. "This... is my best attack! One I learned... from you! H-here's... Oh, what did Nate say...? A-ah! Here's a taste of your own medicine!" The deafening roar sliced through the atmosphere and...

A ghostly figure appeared in front of Owen, and suddenly his mind felt horribly fuzzy. It spoke in an odd language, but he understood it so clearly. Too clearly. He couldn't get it out of his head...! "̶E̸v̶e̵r̶y̵t̶h̵i̴n̴g̸ ̴I̸ ̸d̸o̶.̴.̴.̶ ̷I̷'̶l̴l̴ ̶j̴u̶s̵t̸.̶.̷.̴ ̸f̸o̶r̵g̷e̴t̷ ̷a̸g̵a̴i̷n̷,̶...

"Xernatus," Diyem said, "protect Sword." "Right!" "And you..." He loomed over Dave menacingly. "Perhaps you can use some protection." "I just... n-need to aim it... at the core... right?" Eien said. "G-goodness, I've never done something like this before... while of sound m-mind! It's...

The sky was tearing itself apart. Rifts into the Null Realm encroached upon the world like a spreading disease, leaving cracks in the aether. Blacklight projections were looking like they were about to crawl through, weakly, dissolving in the Cibusean air. But every time they tried, they seemed...

"Everyone... refusing to stop. Spite? Stubbornness? Hah..." Diyem crouched down, smirking, staring the hazy beast down. They still couldn't see it. Not that he cared. Even against an unknown foe, when had they ever given up? Perhaps he finally understood an echo of what they felt. Shadows...

It was creating a vortex around all of this new and horrible Creation. Owen's spirit felt like it was being eroded away by that horrible miasma that he had to huddle back inside of the tree's ethereal bark, which was also peeling away from the oppressive force. On the tree, he felt a light...

"What the fuck are you talking about?!" But Astrid was already gone. "Rrrrrrgh..." "Owen!" Diyem demanded. "I--I can't tell yet. The distortion's... too strong. L-let's keep trying something!" Owen shouted. The barrier had shattered, and the moment it did, a deluge of strange haze filled the...

The words of the team seemed to help snap the others out of it. The illusions were just that--illusions. And certainly Soda would be cognizant enough of that, so he ignored the lingering Piplup and focused on his own work. Diyem turned away from the pleading Charmander and focused instead on the...

Chapter 121 – Shockwaves Owen awoke to the brief sounds of struggle down the hall. It was close. Too close. In the dark halls, he could only rely on his second sight to guess what it was. One of the guards shrieked, but was abruptly silenced after a strong thunk. Someone was about to cry out...

"That's it!" Owen shouted. "All five powers are destabilized! That means...!" "Let's get ready for its counterattack," Diyem snarled. "It's going to be threatened, and that means--" Diyem's eyes widened and he'd suddenly gone silent. A few eyes turned to him to see why--he was staring at a...

"Ghh... Sword! Hold on!" Diyem commanded, smashing his tail on the ground as he thought of what to do next. There wasn't a lot he could do. Not for now. The best he could try was set something up with the others. "I'll... try to get ready for something else," Eien said. "My attacks aren't...

"Very good. Keep pace!" Diyem commanded, looking left and right carefully. "It's preparing something... Let's take out those flames quickly!" Diyem spotted Koa striking one. Despite the ethereal nature of it, those flames were solid and corporeal, like there was a solid core to them. At least...

Bunch of stuff for Owen as discussed on the discord, etc. etc. Did writing. Lots of that lately. Everything before has been logged!
