Luz spun, as did her head. Things just kept getting wilder! "Look, y'all, let's take Blade's advice serious and get outta here. C'mon!" She glanced back at Eternatus Blade, perplexed, but then went about hurrying bruised and exhausted teammates to the portal.

"M-moron, huh?" said Brisa, laughing through her tears. "Maybe so, but I ain't wrong." She returned Starr's hug, pulling herself close, and shuddered with relief. Elsewhere in the void, there was light, sound, movement, urgency. They'd get to that. First, they could have this. It was gonna be okay.

"Starr..." Brisa's cheeks tensed at the prickling feeling in her eyes that warned of tears. Gods, the pain in Starr's voice. Had it really been this bad, all this time, since before they'd even made things right between them? Hell, when Brisa had expressed practically that very sentiment...

She put a paw out to touch Starr's shoulder, to say I'm here, really here, and I ain't leaving. An odd impulse crossed her mind to heal her, but she didn't have that power. Maybe it wasn't in her nature. Instead, she drew closer to Starr, not looking away, not flinching from the absolute dread...

Starr was beaten. Hurting. Hardly able to get words out. But she had survived, gods damnit, she'd survived. "I know," said Brisa, crouching low to speak to Starr at eye level, to be closer to her. "It's okay. I'm okay." Every part of her hurt. Her eyes threatened to shut. Her muscles burned...

"Starr!" Brisa ran towards the site of Starr's collapse, wishing, again, that she could be in more than one place at once. Ten places at once. I can go to Astrid, came the voice of Sombra, in Brisa's skull. I can go to Maple, came the voice of Luz, sending from her core. Fine. Luz melted...

Then kill me. Prove me wrong. Brisa bowed her head, and vowed to survive.

Brisa looked up at the colossus bearing down on her, and still was unafraid. "But you are ashamed," she gasped, pain making the words come out raw, bleeding. "You care that you hurt people." When she gets through this, she'll have hurt you the way she hurt people before. She'll hate herself...

"Go on, then!" cried Brisa, clenching the fist that held the Whiplash tethers so tightly it felt like her fist would never open. "Do it! Hurt me!" Starr told her, once, that she'd hurt her best friend. No, tortured her. 'Deliberately'. She's gonna do the same to you. Brilliant flames this...

Brisa hurled golden tethers at every trapped soul she could. A meganium she recognised as Thyme, but who she knew must have a weapon for a name, stirred at the touch of her whiplash. Others, too, followed. The souls of Telum were coming free. Above her, dwindling every second, was a hydreigon...

Brisa's lightning snapped and roared and shattered around her as she kept up the relentless pace. At least Starr's with ya fer this one... The Fusion Arcflare unfolded across the length and breadth of Maple's vast soul, like a sun dawning over a vast, dark plain. You wanna be with her. It's a...

The team needed her. They were clearing a path. Dave and Koa putting out weakening attacks, Icetales pressing a flask of bright liquid to her paw, Mellow throwing her bodily towards Saltriv, who took on her corruption and gave back protective shields... She was ready. But what about the other...

Brisa flexed her paws, then squeezed them into fists so tight that every knuckle cracked, and the plasma in her palms burst into a miniature halo around her fists. Damn, that felt good. Being a zeraora kicked ass, who knew? Well, Luz, probably. You're doin' great, came a muted sending from the...

Brisa's hackles went up like never before as she stared at what must be the trapped souls of Telum and the behemothic foe they now faced. This was gonna be one hell of a fight. "I wanna try reachin' out to 'em," she called back to Cynthian, "but we gotta get set up an' ready fer a drubbin'...
