Galacta Knight was caught off guard by Velvet's attack, being hit by the frigid part of the technique and freezing instantly. Haseo managed to secure something off of Galacta Knight while he was frozen!... Unfortunately it did not look like a sample, more like a remote detonator. Probably best not to press that right now.

(Haseo! You have gained a temporary item in the Bomb Detonator. This device is used to explode all the bombs planted in the Stadium at once.... You'll kill literally every hostage in this timeline but hey, it must really hurt to be caught up in. Only usable once but anyone in the Stadium Seats must make a CON Save of 18. If they fail they take 60 damage. Obviously this will have no use after the mission so it won't stay with you except as a souviner of that time you robbed a terrorist.)

Ruby on the other hand obtained a... rod with a star on it. This clearly wasn't helpful either but you could hear strange voices when holding onto it. Some pleading, some steeped in unsettling whispers, others a bit more happy. A lot to take in at once.

(Ruby! You obtained this Timeline's Star Rod from Star Haven! With this you can grant a few wishes. Wish of replenishment heals 20 Shield HP and 20 HP of all allies, Wish of Strength bestows one party member with Mega and Bolt of Star Haven deals 30 damage and inflicts Paralysis based on a CHA Roll. All these effects share a 3 turn cooldown. However due to the wishes of Li it takes great Will to wield this weapon so you must roll a INT save of 12 or take 10 damage and Mind Melted. If you are under a Mental Status when failing this roll you are forced against your allies that turn. This item also only lasts until the end of the mission.)

Gargos was a bit too slow to nab his share as suddenly fire erupted around Galacta Knight, pillars of flames erupting and engulfing the area in their flames, especially focused on Velvet!

(Velvet! Roll a 15 or higher in DEX to avoid Galacta Knight's Flame Pillars or take 25 damage and a burn with a set duration of 3 turns)

Galacta Knight melted himself free of the ice before suddenly aiming to thrust his lance into Gargos with a piercing and swift motion.

(Gargos! Roll a 15 or higher in DEX to avoid Galacta Knight's Star Impaler. This attack deals 30 damage with a 70% chance of Mortal Would. It's also unblockable with a bubble shield)

The weird thing was though despite the two plundering him and now nearby they might notice there was no vials or anything resembling a container on Galacta Knight. "Guys!" Coco declared in usual panic suddenly. "The sample is not on Galacta Knight! The Mission Logs were altered! King Hippo has it!" Coco declared.

"... The sample? How did you know about that?" Galacta Knight questioned as he looked at the party. "... King Hippo! Change of plans! Use the Secret Weapon now!" The knight declared, looking to Hippo who turned around just in time to avoid getting pinned. "Got it, boss! One super hippo coming up!" he declared about to plunge the needle he took out into his fat. They were too far away from the fight now. There was no way to intervene. It looked like they failed...

... But then time stopped once more. The same sand that signaled MissingNo.'s arrival flowing through the arena before concentrating on a single point. Next to King Hippo the swirling sand began forming into a solid being. "The anomaly? But you guys dealt with it... Or... That was just a distraction!" Coco realized as the true threat reached out and took the sample from King Hippo's Time Frozen hands. "I am no anomaly. I am the Titan and Keeper of Time, Kronika."

Boss
Kronika, The Keeper of Time

"It astounds me yet more mortals are trying to bend time to their advantage. Did you consider the change in flow of history you could make just by coming here? No, of course not... I am here to restore balance so I won't be letting you take this with you," she chastises as she now holds their goal in the palm of her hands.

[Jade Callisto]

Well the thing he had in his hand looked like a detonator of some kind. It did not take a genius to figure out that he just stopped a huge terrorist attack from taking place at this stadium full of people.

It would be too risky to destroy it so instead he would store the item in his bag for now. Best make sure that Galacta Knight not get his grubby hands on this thing. So as King Hippo was about to summon something in retaliation to let them know they just stumbled into a trap, something odd happened instead. Time froze again and something new popped out, or rather someone. 

"Titan and Keeper of Time?! I don't give a damn who you are! We worked hard to get that sample and if you don't give it back then you are going to regret it!" 

Haseo said as he angerly shouted at the one known as Kronika. 

"Now hand it over quietly and I won't have to hurt you." Haseo said with expectance. He knew this would end in a fight because from the way things were turning on them it was likely the case. Haseo was ready for this turnout and secretly he hoped it would happen, who better of a challenge than a keeper of time? Galacta Knight likely paled in comparison.

Gargos would eventually pay for his low DEX when Galacta Knight turned to look at the group, and would attempt to impale the Demonic Gargoyle God...
DEX ROLL: m|ChHEWvp_1d20-4(damn...)
Mortal Wound Chance: p_1d100(I am going to kick your @$$, dice!)

And though GK was successful, Gargos would have the last laugh.  "All that power, for just one lousy impalement attack with me not even being murdered by it?  P A T H E T I C!" Gargos would say, clearly peeved that someone managed to draw blood, at least until he turns to Haseo and the others.  "Any of you guys have a healing move on hand, I don't think my bleeding out will help in killing anyone." Gargos asked, wanting to be rid of his injuries from the Glitch.

And when time froze again, his eyes would narrow, only becoming more sinister once Kronika emerged.  "Coco...  I think we found something big here..." Gargos would say via his portal viewscreen as he glared at Kronika, and despite his being a Demonic Gargoyle God, who was taller than the keeper of time mind you, he was merely amused by her intrusion.  "You will kindly give us the cure and leave, you are interfering with our task. Gargos would say calmly, not intending to fight but will eventually have to do so should it come to blows.

"I got it! I got i--I didn't get it." Ruby began before stating rather flatly as she looked at a strange rod with a star-shaped tip that rest on her hands. The constantly shifting whispering in her head as she held it in her hands was freaky, so she placed in a pocket for the moment. That's when Coco suddenly came back and informed them of a...slight misdirection. "Wait, seriously??" she replied as the truth came out.

Unfortunately, Galacta Knight heard them and urged King Hippo to use the sample. Driven by instinct, Ruby tried to petal burst her way down there to snatch it. With the speeds she could go, maybe there was still a chance to grab it...!

As it turns out, things were just a little more complicated than that.

Ruby tried to grasp the sample as she reached King Hippo, but it was already out of his hands, making her land on the grounds, and be in close proximity to the source of the creepy glitchy monster and the actual anomaly of the mission, a so-called Keeper of Time named Kronika.

Ruby stood on guard as the Titan chastised their actions. While Gargos and Haseo were more than happy to just...tell Kronika to hand the sample over, the Huntress-in-training had other plans. She lunged forward, stretching her hand to grasp the sample from the Keeper of Time!

Usuhi86kp_1d20+7 (Ruby tries to nab the sample from Kronika.)

Whether she'd succeed or not, Ruby would try a vertical swing at Kronika with her Crescent Rose in an attempt to give herself a bit of a breathing room and avoid...whatever Keepers of Time could do with her at this range.

p_1d20+3 (Ruby's Crescent Rose > Kronika. 15 damage)

"Sorry, Keeper of Time lady, but...we're here to change our future! So we'll be taking this sample!" Ruby said, getting herself ready to fight with Kronika. Well, thankfully there was no glitchy monster tampering her Aura this time.

[Velvet Crowe, Lord of Calamity]

(Velvet's Gonna Shield Dat!)


Velvet would give a mild bemused scowl at the sight of her attack hitting Galacta Knight, As she landed to the ground and let Ruby and Haseo take there opportunities to grab from him. She seemed satisfied with how this had turned out-- Until, however, Galacta Knight broke free from his frozen prison, and suddenly attacked! A Flaming pillar was sent for Velvet, As she crossed her arms, A Black and Red Shield surrounding her and  forming into a  bubble, which took the brunt of that hit and caused her to skid back! Velvet was ready to fight, as she extended her blade and charged for Galacta Knight! That was, Until...


Time Stopped. Sand flowing through the air caused Velvet's anger filled charge to slow and eventually stop, as she looked around to where it had gathered. A Woman in white Robes, Pristine and radiating an unfamiliar energy, as Velvet glared her down, Narrowing her eyes. Haseo, Gargos and Ruby made there threats to her, as Velvet would, instead made a different threat. "...It never changes." Velvet would say, stepping forward. "It never changes with you. God's, Titans-- Enforcing there rules, no matter who suffers. No matter who bleeds, Who has to pass and die in agony, Just for there petty balance! Dont you understand, there are thousands of people who exist Now, Beyond this time, who are dying because of you trying to bring your balance?! Dont you care about them?!" Velvet would demand a judgement of Kronika, as she scowled all the more.



"...Your just like all the other's. Time wont stand in my way. I'll tear apart your precious balance. So no one else will Suffer!" Velvet would cry out, as her Daemonic Claw exposes itself, and she aims it forward, At Kronika! "CORRUPTED STORM!"  She would Call, as a Missingno. Colored Static coursed through Velvet's arm! However, Velvet would not perform her traditional Break Arte, as the Missigno Energy suddenly dissipates, as she Lunges after Kronika, Spinning on her heel, and performing a Deathly Roundhouse to Embed her Leg Blade into Kronika's Arm, Following it up with a Jab by her Arm Blade, and then, She began a Chant...

"Wounds that wont heal--"

"Carve into Flesh--"

And with that, Velvet's Demonic Claw suddenly glows with intense power, as she Rams the massive Arm directly into Kronika, To try and Tear her Apart!

"LETHAL PAIN!"

VHUOUcnpp_1d20+2=22 (Missigno Hail Empowered Lethal Pain! Deals 1d3 Damage, 1= 10%, 2 = 22%, 3 = 35%, +2% Damage. Afflicts Mortal Wound.

And then Lastly, Velvet would Pierrouette into a Swallow Dance, Directing two slashing kicks into Kronika's Stomach!

"I could say the same about you," Kroika replied to Gargos simply. "You do not command me either. I would not be here if you did not choose to meddle with time!" She pointed out to Haseo. She began, holding up her hand just to notice that Ruby successfully managed to nab the Sample from her! "... And who gave you permission to change the future?" She added in annoyance at the declaration before suddenly Ruby would feel her body suddenly stiffen as the time freeze extended over her and the others.

(Ruby! You got the sample but....)

In the time frozen space another figure walked up to Kronika from a pile of sand. A figure designed by Kronika herself. "You dropped your guard," He pointed out calmly as he walked over to Ruby's Time Stasised Body. "I know... Deal with her! I'll summon our reinforcements!" Kronika ordered. "Of course, Kronika," he nods before moving to grab Ruby by the back of the head and suddenly slamming her as time resumed for her and the rest of the party. Ruby would suddenly find the pain of being slammed facefirst by an invisible force or as if she tripped midaction. "I'm Geras. I have fought many that tried to alter their fate. You will fare no better than them," he warned.

A Fixed Point in Time, Geras.

(Ruby! You have been Temporal Slammed! This attack is unavoidable and is resisted with CON. If you roll 18-20 you take five damage, 12-17 causes 15 damage, 7-11 cause 25 damage and 1-6 cause 40 damage and are afflicted with Stun. You can not completely negate the damage from this attack and  you auto-drop the Sample)

cCl|_riIp_1d3

Kronika meanwhile took the attack from Velvet head on as she prepared herself, the attack penetrating her body. However despite the wound she seemed to endure just fine. In fact despite the severity it was already closing back up.

p_1d15+5(Time Heals all Wounds Auto-Heal)

She recovered a bit as she glared at Velvet. She managed to dodge the rest of the attacks save for the final Swallow Kick where time stopped for a brief moment and Geras took the kick in his mistress's stead before  forming a fist out of his sand and aiming to punch Velvet with a full powered punch to knock her down. "Time may not stand in your way but I will!" he declares as he keeps Velvet from chasing after the vial... which is fortunately quite durable.

(Velvet! Geras has intercepted your attack on Kronika is trying to punch you with his Big Fist! Roll a 15 or higher to avoid or take 35% damage. He is also now blocking you. This will be explained in a moment)

More sand swept around the arena this time misplacing the giant skeletal Skeith right in front of Haseo! "You have chosen... poorly," he says to Haseo telepathically, quoting a famous movie before unleashing an icey Judgement Attack upon Gargos and Haseo.

(Haseo! Gargos! A time displaced Skeith is attacking you! He is weaker than the real deal but he is blocking Haseo. Roll a 11 or higher in DEX to avoid the Judgement or take 25% damage with a 25% chance to be frozen solid)

Another being formed this time as a red haired beast of a man and a gigantic killing aura filled the area. "Hmph. Should of called me from the beginning," Akuma remarked, looking at Kronika. "There is no time for this. Just fulfill our deal!" Kronika ordered as she clenched her wound. Akuma looked to the vial before making a rush for it. "Okay, if you want to get out of there without beating them up I can do that but it'll take some time in that space. You need to keep a hold of the sample before I can warp you back!" Coco suggested.

p_1d20+4(Akuma's Persuing of the Sample)

(Boss mechanic! Fight for the sample! Kronika and her kronies will actively try to keep the sample out of your hands. If you can keep a hold of it for 3 turns Coco can skip the fight for you. Attacks all have a chance to make the sample drop judged by varying factors, mostly damage and knockback. When the sample is dropped the character with the highest DEX Roll can catch it first. However, if you are being Blocked by another character or are inflicted by a status like Stun or Frozen, you can not chase the sample that turn. Being Blocked also means you can't target anyone else outside AoEs. You can use an action blocking bosses as well.)

Kronika then made a blue energy bolt before firing it at Velvet. If it hit her she would feel a pull as she was rewound back in time to just before Geras made a punch for her!

(Velvet! Kronika is trying to rewind your time. If it succeeds you take 10% damage and are forced to attempt to dodge Geras's Punch again. Roll a 12 or higher to evade.)

Velvet was soon confronted with visage of Geras, Who appeared before her in a tide of Sand. "This Ends. Here and now!" She Declared, as Geras would suddenly go to to deck her in the face, To which...

As2vfA|Yp_1d20+2=15


Velvet Ducked gracefully, and Stood back up before Geras, Glaring her yellow eyes down into his set of glowing ones. "I'll engulf you and your pathetic titan in the flames of chaos!" Velvet would declare, as her Daemonic Fist emerged to her hand, as she would prepare to try and lunge past the blocking Geras, However, It would be then that the Wounded Tian would throw a Glowing Blue Bolt at Velvet, and--

p_1d20+2=6


"This Ends, Here and--What?!" Velvet would ask, as she was suddenly before Geras once again, Attempting another Punch to her face!

p_1d20+2=13

And this time, He made direct contact, as Velvet was sent skidding across the arena, Landing with a venemous growl as she looked up to Geras, who seemed to be standing in her way to prevent her from trying to help the others! Velvet would need to make a plan, and fast. And she infact came up with one. "...Stand in my way then. That's all i need you to do!" Velvet would declare, as she would instead jump back, as her Daemonic claw emerged and engulfed her hand once more, Grasping to the air as she would suddenly Glow bright with an awesome power! Velvet was going to arm herself with power. And she had all the options she could want!

"If that bleed of yours hurts, Titan, Im just getting started!" Velvet declared, As she would suddenly jump into the Sky! "I'll Drag you into Hell, and Grind you into Nothing!"  Velvet called, as a Bright orb emerged into her hand, as Velvet slammed it into the Earth! As the Orb Embeds itself into the ground, the Earth shatters and cracks, As a Bright Green energy surrounds the Field, Before exploding outward, Attacking every Enemy in the Vicinity, Including....Galacta Knight and King Hippo?!

Hearing Skeith's voice enter his mind he could tell this was not his Skeith right away. "You are the one choosing poorly Skeith. I know you better than anyone else does and all that hatred bottled up inside you will tear you apart one day, trust me I know what it is like. Let me show you what we are to become together as one." 

Haseo's DEX check of Past Skeith's attack: 

TMde2EAgp_1d20+2

Easily dodged out of the way of Past Skeith's attack. 

"That won't do Kronika. You should not have paired me against something I know all too well. I know everything about Skeith, you could say he's another part of me as well." 

Soon Haseo gripped his hand into a fist as the sound of a chime seemed to ring out.

"Come on... Come on!" Suddenly the outline of Haseo's body started to glow crimson red as symbols started to cover Haseo's body.



"I am....right....here!" 

Suddenly Haseo's eyes glowed with a crimson color as well as the symbols became even brighter. 



"SKEEEEEEEIIIIIITHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Haseo cried out as his body was enveloped in a crimson light and then replacing his form was something else entirely. His new form was completely different as everything was replaced with a familiar giant skeletal frame but with much different features compared to Past Skeith.  

(Stop the video at 0:50)

"Let's finish this!"
Haseo said with confidence. 

~Final Smash used to become Skeith the Ultimate!

Drawing out the power of his Gate of Ouroboros, Haseo would begin his assault on the Past Skeith. 

First he would start with a Whip Mode Combo attack.

Whip Mode Combo Rolls (STR): Does 8% damage per hit. 

p_1d20+5

p_1d20+5

p_1d20+5

Next he would go for a Sword Mode Swing (STR): Does 12% damage if it hits.

p_1d20+5

~Haste Action for Haseo to use Justice Arrows from Skeith (WIS): Does 18% AOE Damage upon hit for up to 50 feet of range.

p_1d20-4

(Nat 20 so this auto hits!)

Crit Confirm with the same modifiers: Does double damage to all foes if it Crits making it a total of 36% damage to all foes.

p_1d20-4

(A Crit of a Crit! Well it's easy to easy to say that definitely crits.)

Past Skeith according to his status takes twice this damage so he takes 72% damage total while every other enemy takes 36%.

Haseo just started to fly in the air as he fired the Justice Arrows from Skeith's wings before they all landed on their targets for a great amount of damage. "Get the sample if you can. I'll hold off this other Skeith with my own!" Haseo said as he got ready for battle once again.

"Is that right, to mock a Shadow Lord who you never even heard of?" Gargos would say, belittling the keeper of time with not his taunting because it would be fitting to just cripple her with his own physical power, but he changed tactics and attempted to block an attack...
Gargos shields the attack: 61-25(Judgement)-10(activation penalty)=26 shield left!

"Sadly I do not control time, but dimensions...  Your dimension is one of many that I can make use of in making this planet evolve, and you are not permitted to enter my domain anyway so you better get used to that.  In addition, your 'bodyguard' is nothing more than a big ugly sandbag that cannot even hold his liquor without being soaked in it." Gargos added, which pretty much summed up to Kronika that he could have just as easily invaded the Mortal Kombat universe.

Gargos would then promptly unleash a combo attack of punches...  All of them aimed to clock Geras by coming out of other dimensions!
STR ROLL A: fdbjxM4Dp_1d20+5(Oblivion @ Geras, 8% dmg if it connects)
STR ROLL B: p_1d20+5(^)
STR ROLL C: p_1d20+5(^)

Then he would attempt more of the same, only with a much stronger batch of portal punches, fully aimed at Kronika so that Geras would have no choice but to take the blow!

STR ROLL D: p_1d20+5(Shadow Oblivion @ Kronika, 20% dmg if it connects)

And then, Gargos would vanish, Blindsiding Kronika with a Reckoning attack.
STR ROLL E: p_1d20+5(Reckoning @ Kronika, 9% dmg if it connects, if obstacle is in the vicinity, additional 9% dmg will be added)

"I got it, for real this time! Coco, get us outta--" Ruby would begin as she obtained the sample, however before she could continue, she would suddenly find herself being slammed onto the ground by a burly man, making her drop the sample. "Owww, my everything!" How did that-- oh right. Keepers of Time. "Hey! That's cheating!" Ruby complained loudly with a bit of strain in her voice as she got up. Thankfully, her Aura managed to soak up the hit super well. "Yeah, well, sorry to say, champ, but there's always a first time." Ruby retorted to Geras' claim of them meeting the same failure others did. "Failure is not an option for Ruby and friends!" she proclaimed.

While Geras suddenly went to attack Velvet, Ruby was left by herself with the sample up for grabs...for about a couple of seconds, until this giant muscle mass of a man appeared, seemingly working for Kronika. And--oh no, he was going towards the sample!

p_1d20+4 (Ruby's competitive sample-catching)

"Oh no, you don't!" Ruby retorted, dashing past the muscular redhead and swiping the sample before he could. Now it was time to play the most dangerous game of hot potato ever! "Got it! I'll keep it safe and snug with me as best as I can." she replied to Coco. Though that didn't mean she wouldn't assist her teammates while trying to keep the sample safe.

First, she leapt in the air and began descending, spinning herself and her scythe towards...Geras! Looks like someone was bitter about the temporal slamming. She'd slash towards the Keeper of Time's crony, with her Crescent Rose pinning him down before she'd fire a shot from the rifle at him for extra damage.

p_1d20+4 (Ruby's Buzzsaw Blast EX > Geras. 2-action attack, 25 damage)

She'd then unlatch her companion from Geras, using her semblance to 'leap' back to the arena walls before changing Crescent Rose to its rifle mode. Quickly loading a set of Dust-enhanced bullets onto her weapon, she tried to take advantage of her position and shot an electric bullet at the mystery redhead. If it hit, Akuma may start to feel a bit...numb in the legs.

p_1d20+4 (Ruby's Crescent Rose [Rifle Mode] > Akuma. Lightning Dust version, 18 damage and inflicts Paralysis.)

Kronika's Wound continues to close rapidly but was not finished yet as she gave it a sore look. Before she could contemplate further revenge an explosion engulfed the entire arena, harming everyone, including the ones in stasis although they could not immediately feel it.

(Velvet! You have gained three moves:
Starcutter: A Wisdom Based Attack Galacta Knight uses where he can cut the very fabric of space open to summon forth a reality shattering beam. A straight firing AoE, it can't target enemies behind you but deals 30% damage to all in front and ignores Defensive Buffs.

Goshoryuken: A Brutal Uppercut straight to the abdomen, painful for anyone for sure. Deals 40% single target damage. At the cost of an extra action you can perform an EX Version, tossing the foe back into the ground for 20 extra damage.

Energy Burst: A blue burst of energy from Kronika that bounces the foe into the air, lowering their threshold by 2 for the next attack aimed at them. Deals 20% damage)

Geras looked towards the arrows of justice unleashed by Haseo after the attack after the light cleared. He made sure to keep Kronika safe by shielding her from the AoE by blocking the attack with his body. He raised a hand as Haseo had little time to notice the arena shifting under him into a sand trap. If he failed to realize in time he would be pulled into the sand and lifted up by it to be crushed by two hammers made of sand.

(Haseo! Geras is trying to catch you with a Sand Trap! Roll a 15 or higher in WIS to see it coming. Failure results in taking 40 damage and this attack can not be countered. Attempting to block any attack this turn makes this move deal double damage as it also crushes some bones)

After the original Geras got punched twice by Gargos a second one appeared and took the blow aimed at Kronika. The second Guardian stayed standing there however as Gargos charged and met his charge. The artificial being would attempt to grab Gargos in his tackle and bring him in the opposite direction of Kronika before slamming him full force against the Stadium Walls if successful. "I can hold you more than fine."

(Gargos! Geras is meeting your attack with his Titan Tackle! Roll a 15 or higher in Dex to escape or take 30 damage. Roll 15 or higher in CON if you fail the DEX roll to endure the slam or take 30 more damage. This move can't be blocked.)

The Geras then returned to sand after performing his defense just in time for Ruby to score as he was pinned and shot. "...Always a first time, huh? How many times have I heard that?" Geras questioned in amusement and stayed on Ruby as Akuma approached her. The fighter not seeming to appreciate getting shot as he still fought through it. Akuma lunched an uppercut at Ruby while Geras attempted to punch her. However as they prepared their attacks a Quantum Rift opened up and out came a young tiger with his own backpack. Pura attempted to fly by Ruby to give her a way out of danger.

(Ruby! Akuma is trying to unleash his Goshoryuken on you! Roll a 16 or higher to evade or take 70 damage as you are grabbed and slammed with a 15 STR Requirement to hold on to the sample. You also need to dodge the Giant Fist with a 15 or higher dodge roll or take 35 damage and a 15 to hold onto the sample.... Or you can take this one-time freebie and grab onto Pura to avoid both attacks automatically)

"I decided to send some help of my own. Sorry big guy but I only have three Akus... But I do have two masks for anyone interested!" as a Mask flew to Haseo, Ruby and Velvet. Additionally two more masks made their way through the rift.

(Everyone!... except Gargos, you get an Aku Mask which halves the damage of the next hit you take)

(Everyone! One of you gets the Akanu Mask and/or the Kupun-Wa Mask. There's only one of each so first to grab it gets it. Their effects are:
Akano, Dark Matter: Coco summons forth the power of the Quantum Mask of Dark Matter on herself or an ally of her choice. This mask when equipped provides it's user greatly enhanced power for 3 turns. During these turns, an attack mod of their choice, STR, DEX, WIS or CHA is increased by 2 and all their damage is increased by that raised mod x2 and all their moves with said stat gain a dark aesthetic and a wider area of effect. However the Quantum Mask is rather heavy and causes recoil equal to the mod it boosts. Additionally a mod can't be raised if that character has no attacks utilizing that stat. The duration of Dark Matter can be extended but it causes Severe Fatigue for every turn it remains active. 3 turn cooldown.



Kupun-Wa, Time: Coco invokes the Quantum Mask of Time, utilizing this mask she can speed down time for herself to the point it looks like she is moving super fast to everyone else. This Quantum Mask boosts the user's actions per turn by 1 and can be activated as a free action for 3 turns. This can also be triggered for an ally. 4 turn cooldown.)

"Hm.... Your power is one you stole, Half-God, not one you have a right to,"  Kronika seemed more knowledgable than Gargos gave her knowledge for. "I will show you all unending pain for interfering! Hell is far too nice," She declared, raising a hand, the sand attempting to drag Velvet underground and bury her in itself. If it succeeds spikes would protrude from the sand and attempt to stab into her.

(Velvet! Kronika is trying to use Sand Tomb to bury you! Roll a 15 or STR to break free from the grapple. Failure results in being grappled from Range, taking 15% damage and Mortal Wound on top of Suffocation until you break out. The strength of the Grapple is also 15.)

".... That power..." Skeith seems to recogonize the Skeith as Haseo called upon it. "....Then show me your terror of death," Skeith responded in amusement. Only one of the Whip Attacks managed to land their mark. The sword made it's mark followed by many arrows piercing the skeletal giant. "... Not bad. Now I shall show you my terror!" The Terror of Death responded as souls suddenly began attracting themselves to him and he gained their power.

(Rage of the Beast Triggered! Skeith has gained a +3 to his Thresholds from nearby souls. Attacks become unblockable)

He then swinged his scythe at Haseo and his scythe and a rapid fury of attacks.

(Haseo! Roll a 14 or higher to dodge Skeith's Scythe barrage 3 times. Each failure results in 12% damage)

Skeith would then make a grab for Haseo and hoist him up in a strangle hold as he looks down at the boy.

(Haseo! Skeith is trying to use his Terror Strangle on you! This triggers a grapple and inflicts Suffocation. 14 or higher to dodge with DEX, 14 or higher to break free with STR)

Finally he would unload a bunch of energy projectiles into Haseo, directly from his hand if he was grappling him.

(Haseo! Energy Bullet Shot is Skeith's final attack! Deals 30 damage, automatically if you were grappled. 14 or higher to dodge otherwise)

[TheSpatialWeeg]

(Gonna be using Pura to escape the attacks!)

"Hopefully not too much. I've always wanted to say that line." Ruby admitted in a moment of unusual honesty after Geras showed himself amused by the line he was likely to have heard so many, many times before. Ruby yelped in breif surprise as both the muscular man and the Titan's companion tried to attack her, but help arrived in the form of...a baby tiger? Well, not that she would complain. She latched herself on the time-traveling Pura and she managed to get out of harm's way. "Whew, thanks!" she said to the baby tiger, taking a moment to give her thankful headpats. 

Once her coast was clear, Coco gave the team some more boons. A mask started circling around her, and a couple more appeared from the rift. Her eyes glimmering in recognition, she made a dash toward Kupuna-Wa. "Dibsdibsdibs!" she said to herself as she grabbed it, channeling the mask's power...

(Ruby has picked up Kupuna-Wa and used her immediately! One more action per turn for 3 turns, let's go.)

Donning a new set of clothes that vaguely resembled the mask she grabbed, Ruby checked herself out for a moment before deciding to try out the mask's power. With a bit of concentration, time seemed to slow down for her! "Oh, this is so cool!" Ruby said, clearly trying to hold her excitement. Grasping Crescent Rose, she advanced towards Akuma, and proceeded to slash at him with her weapon repeatedly before performing a cool finisher slash at him.

G9byBel4p_1d20+3 (Ruby's Buzzsaw Blast > Akuma. Critical hit! 30 damage.)
p_1d20+3 (Critical confirm for that extra 30 damage!)

Not letting up, Ruby swung Crescent Rose at the muscular redhead a couple more times in a cross-slash fashion, before planting her scythe on the ground and using her momentum to slam Akuma with a boot to the face.

p_1d20+4 (Ruby's Crescent Rose > Akuma. 8 combo damage.)
p_1d20+4 (Combo 2)
p_1d20+4 (Combo 3)

Then, her attention went to Geras. Shifting her scythe to Rifle Mode, she took aim at the Keeper of Time's helper before firing a basic shot with no extra Dust attached to it, mostly to play it safe for the moment. After using her electric round, the muscular redhead looked super peeved...

p_1d20+4 (Ruby's Crescent Rose [Rifle Mode] > Geras. Dustless version, 22 damage)

Using the time slow to her advantage, Ruby went to add more pressure to her attackers with one extra attack. Rushing towards Geras, she prepared for a wide vertical slash, however, before she went for the hit, she fired a shot to increase her speed even further, the slash dealing way more damage due to the crazy momentum she had on her.

p_1d20+4 (Ruby's Crescent Rose > Geras. Recoil Boost is used to give this attack more damage. 18+15 = 33 damage)

[Jade Callisto]

As everything happened all at once, Haseo noticed immediately that Geras took the hit meant for Kronika who he meant to hit with his AOE attack along with the other enemies on the field. "Heh well I got to hand it to you Geras you are good at your job as bodyguard." But as Haseo said that Geras attempted to catch him with a sand trap of all things to do a lot of potential damage on him. 

WIS Roll to see the Sand Trap coming: 

YcN8zcoVp_1d20+1

Not only did Haseo see the sand trap coming from a mile away he also could easily dodge it too by simply flying in the air of which what his Skeith allowed him to do. Flying right out of it before it could do any damage to him he just looked onward toward Geras with a smirk. "You're pretty bad at actually following through with other stuff though." Haseo taunted Geras to goad him. 

As this happened Coco made more masks appear to help with their battle plus two more that had unique effects. As Ruby claimed Kupuna-Wa which admittedly could definitely have helped him get an extra action for the turn would be welcome, Haseo would instead opt to take the other one Akano, Dark Matter. This one would allow him to utilize an even further stat boost than he already had with Skeith. Using it right away Haseo and his Skeith form both took on a dark aesthetic compared to the Light themed one he had before. His features were more demonic looking in comparison with this mask equipped. 

Choosing to upgrade his STR stat Haseo would gain an additional +2 to it along with the boost he got from Skeith. 

Hearing Past Skeith's words about his power and acknowledgement of it made Haseo feel like he was in for a good fight. "So Skeith vs Skeith. Do you think you can handle it?" Haseo said as he got ready to dodge the scythe attacks that were aimed at him from Past Skeith. 

DEX Rolls to dodge Scythe Swing: 

p_1d20+4

That one hit for 6% because of the halved damage of the mask he was given. 

p_1d20+4

Haseo dodged out of the way of the second Scythe Swing. 

p_1d20+4

And easily dodged out of the way of the third Scythe Swing. 

Next came a grab which Haseo would attempt to dodge as well.

DEX Roll for dodge of the Grab: 

p_1d20+4

Dodging out of the way of the grab Haseo was on fire today with his dodges. As Past Skeith aimed to fire some Energy Bullets at him. 

DEX Roll for dodge of the Energy Bullets: 

p_1d20+4

And of course his luck would have to eventually run out with his speed in dodging. The Energy Blast connected to Haseo dealing 30% damage to him. That hurt quite a bit but that wasn't enough to put him down. 

Starting off Haseo would once again start with his Whip Mode to get some combos off.

STR Rolls for Whip Mode: Does 8% per hit. Plus 14% because of the Dark Matter Mask making each hit 22% damage.

p_1d20+7

p_1d20+7

p_1d20+7

Then a Sword Mode attack again. 

STR Roll for Sword Mode: Does 12% damage upon hit. Plus 14% because of the Dark Matter Mask making it 26% damage.

p_1d20+7

And lastly Haseo would use his Merciless Strike right after it came off its cooldown to finish things off. 

STR Roll for Merciless Strike: Does 18% damage normally but due to taking damage this turn equal to the amount he needed to charge it, Haseo can use it at full power again for 32% total damage if it hits. Plus 14% additional damage because of Akuno Dark Matter for 46% damage total. 

p_1d20+7

(Nat 20! That automatically hits!) 

Crit Confirm: Does 64% if it Crits, plus 14% additional damage because of Akuno Dark Matter. Making it 78% damage if it crits.

p_1d20+7

Unlikely to Crit.

"Take this!!! Oriyaaaahhh!!!!" Haseo said as he struck Past Skeith with his Merciless Strike. 

(Stop at 3:35)

Due to Haseo's Passive, Merciless Strike's cooldown gets lowered by 1 turn because he took 30% damage this turn.
Haseo also takes 35% recoil too according to the Dark Matter Mask. Ouch that stings.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"Why thank you, Soul stealing is a hobby of mine, and once I kill you, your soul will be a delicacy for me." Gargos would say to Kronika with a devilish smirk on his face, which is justified with his attempt to dodge the Titan Tackle...
DEX ROLL: 1fC5yom5p_1d20-4(ouch...)
CON ROLL: p_1d20+5(ouch...)

Which failed and almost knocking him out of commission.  "I guess I'll have to kill you first." Gargos snarked, yanking Geras off and hurling him at Kronika full force!
STR ROLL A: p_1d20+5(Spite @ Geras, 8% dmg if it connects, and since Geras is being thrown at Kronika, she will also take 8% dmg)

Then decided to crush Geras's skull with his digitigrade foot, delivering a very sickening crunch that can easily ensure Kronika that Geras will not survive the pancake effect of his skull being reduced to a million pieces.

STR ROLL B: p_1d20+5(Stomp @ Geras, 20% dmg if it connects)

Then Gargos would finish the job by Combining Geras into oblivion...
STR ROLL C: p_1d20+5(CRITICAL OBLIVION OF I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS! @ Geras, 8% dmg if it connects)
Crit Confirm Roll: p_1d20+5(Upgrades to 16% dmg if Geras fails to dodge this roll)
STR ROLL D: p_1d20+5(Another Crit on Geras?  YES PLEASE!!!)
Crit Confirm Roll: p_1d20+5(Upgrades to 16% dmg if Geras fails to dodge this roll)
STR ROLL E: p_1d20+5(Dayum, Geras!  You just got demolished and all I can do is laugh at your unfortunate fate if you don't start making dodge rolls...  Oh wait, you can't because you are a boss character and I am going to murder you regardless.)

"I will need healing sometime soon, Perhaps a Heart container would suffice." Gargos would say to one of his colleagues, hoping that one of them gets the message.

p_1d10

p_1d10


Starcutter: A Wisdom Based Attack Galacta Knight uses where he can cut the very fabric of space open to summon forth a reality shattering beam. A straight firing AoE, it can't target enemies behind you but deals 36% damage to all in front and ignores Defensive Buffs.



Goshoryuken: A Brutal Uppercut straight to the abdomen, painful for anyone for sure. Deals 48% single target damage. At the cost of an extra action you can perform an EX Version, tossing the foe back into the ground for 20 extra damage.



Energy Burst: A blue burst of energy from Kronika that bounces the foe into the air, lowering their threshold by 2 for the next attack aimed at them. Deals 25% damage)



With an aura of Pink, Purple and bright blue coursing through her arm, Velvet looks toward the front of the battle, as Coco had brought forth...More Masks for everyone? Velvet raises her brow as the wooden mask encircles her. Some Defence? Neat, But Defence wasnt going to help her-- Nor stop her, From tearing Kronika in half, as suddenly Kronika's Hand would rise up, and two massive tombs of Sand would try to encase her! Velvet looks to her past pack, to the Lani-loli mask. "Oh jeez oh gosh-- Im at a 10!! I SWEAR IM AT A 10 RIGHT N--"

"Shut up and start making walls!" Velvet demanded, as Lani-Loli's power activated, Various Bright Blue Platforms emerging as Velvet began to Wall Jump from one to the Other!


p_1d20+2=20 (STUCK THAT LANDIIING)

From there, The Walls vanished and Sand colided, as Velvet was now...Standing right infront of Kronika! Velvet stops, and then readies her strike with a Two-Hit Combo, One Slash to the Side of Kronika, and a second to her face!


p_1d20+2=9


p_1d20+2=5


Totally unlikely hits, But, That wasnt exactly the point, as Velvet stops, Her bandaged arm once more engulfing itself in a Therion Darkness, as Velvet looks up and meets Kronika's eyes. "Ive lived in hell for all my life. Ever since self-righteous gods, claiming us mortals as anything other than slaves to there order. While innocent people die and suffer, so you can establish your grace and rules..."

Velvet spoke, As her golden eyes shimmer. "Remember me. I am the Lord of Calamity. I will tear pathetic gods like you apart! DEMON SPLIT!" Velvet invoked, as her Claw suddenly Engulfs in a mass of bright purple fire , Her Claw clutching into a Tight fist, as Velvet drags it across the earth, Gathering incredible power, as she unleashes that massive Fist directly into Kronika's Body, Unleashing her SHORYUKEN!


p_1d20+2=18 (EX Goshoryuken used for Demon Split! Deals 68% Damage!)
