Under the ruthless assault by Haseo Skeith crumbled into sand. Haseo could feel a sense of pride as the Skeith turned to nothing to the victor, the souls being released back into the wild as the beast was calmed. "If your desire is to kill me then you are wasting your time. It is impossible to destroy me. No matter how many times you break me I am a fixed point in time," Geras replied to Gargos, dodging the grab before just taking the rest of the assault. "I will just return stronger than before," he replied, about to strike back before sensing danger from Kronika and taking place of the uppercut just in time. He was slammed down from the strike. One blow managed to hit Kronika however.

While Ruby dealt more damage to the others Kronika stared down Velvet. "... There are forces you do not comprehend. Even if you succeed in saving from our 'oppression' as you deem it, you will inevitably wake forces much more beyond you or I. What will you do when that time comes?" Kronika points out, hinting towards a being beyond her or the others.

"Simple," a voice cuts in. "I will cut them down like the rest before them. I have slain countless 'beings of immeasurable' power. Your fear misguides you and I will be the one that cuts through your wall!" Galacta Knight suddenly manifests onto the Stadium Floor, his armor more detailed than before and a bright glow of light coming off of him. Tremendous power radiates as the Aeon Hero awakens. He glances towards Akuma with a glare as Geras, Akuma and Kronika all look to the sudden arrival.



The Aeon Hero, Galacta Knight is here! You can tell Galacta Knight is being serious and showing little mercy right now. Is this the true power of the Strongest in the Galaxy or is this just 50% of the legend's power? Either way, he currently sees EVERYONE as an enemy and is neutral in this fight. Although he is leaning against Kronika and her cronies seeing the Special Infected Akuma.

"Impossible, how did you get out of the time hold?!" Kronika questions in shock.

"Your power caught me off guard but it could not hold me forever. Now, I shall eliminate all of you for interfering!" he declares rising up and raising his sword, light flashing around everyone in the Stadium before bolts of lightning would descend upon them in a clash.

p_1d20+4(Geras Dodge)
p_1d20+7(Kronika Dodge)
p_1d20+2(Akuma Dodge)
p_1d20+4(Pura dodge)

Kronika managed to disappear before the bolt striked however Geras was hit and brought down by it. He laid against the floor in defeat.... for now. Akuma and Pura were also not so lucky getting blasted by the warrior's attack. Galacta Knight however was not letting up, performing a Galacta Tornado towards Kronika befoe bringing his lance into the ground, sending a whirlwind of light and darkness spreading throughout the arena in form of golden and dark tornadoes.

p_1d20+8(Aeon Tornado ON EVERYONE, deals 65 damage, 18 or higher hold to hold the sample)
p_1d20+4(Pura is KO'd)

Pura was swept away by the winds, reverting into a trophy with a mreow of pain. "... Finally, a worthy power," Akuma smirked, brushing aside Ruby as he made a run for the hero, recovering from the attacks before attempting to uppercut Galacta Knight.

p_1d20+9(Aeon Countering Akuma, deploys a Counterstrike that deals double damage)
p_1d20+8(Aeon Counter, deals 96 damage.)

The Knight however quickly shifted behind Akuma before slashing him, jumping onto his back with a kick and hopping before plunging his weapon into his chest in a swift and effortless manner. "And you brought an infected with you. You claim to seek balance yet you aid those disrupting it. You're no better than them," Galacta Knight adds before leaping off Akuma and slashing Kronika.

p_1d20+3(Critical Aeon Slash on Kronika, deals 70 damage)
p_1d20+3(Crit confirm for another 70)

Kronika was slashed by the strongest in the galaxy, sending a deep cut through her. She glared down the knight before letting off an explosion of energy.

p_1d20+9(Energy Burst dodge, failed)

Galacta Knight soared back from the attack but flipped to regain his footing as Kronika put forth a field of time energy that would slow down everyone in the vicinity severely. Galacta Knight swiftly flew out of reach.

(Everyone! Kronika has unleashed a time field! Roll a 14 or higher in DEX to evade or take 15% damage and Greater Slow, Greater Slow acts like Slow but also lowers actions by 1 and attack rolls by 2. Can not be shielded)

This wasn't the end as Haseo struck down the Past Skeith. No it was only the beginning it seemed as one thing after the other happened and Galacta Knight now came back and out of the time hold. While likely to be surprised at his new form, Haseo was still standing strong in Skeith's form as he felt strong enough to take on this newly formed Galacta Knight. First he would attack everyone in the vicinity with a series of lightning bolts all aimed at everyone that wasn't himself. 

"Not going to happen." Haseo said as he crossed his arms and stood proud while a golden aura surrounded him and Skeith. The dark features of the mask still retaining its form on himself and Skeith as they did so. 



CON Roll for Sacred Armor: Haseo takes no damage from the attack and reflects the projectile attack right back at the sender for the same amount of damage. Using this on Aeon Storm.

xdtdz6tpp_1d20+4

Success! The bolt of lightning struck Haseo then immediately bounced off of the golden aura then hurtled itself right at Galacta Knight! 

Next came the Aeon Tornado which Haseo intended to dodge. 

DEX Roll for Dodge of Aeon Tornado: 

p_1d20+4

Haseo successfully dodged out of the way of the Aeon Tornado!

Lastly Kronika used a Time Wave to try to slow everyone down. 

Haseo would try to dodge that one too.

DEX Roll for Dodge: 

p_1d20+4

Haseo was hit for 15% damage and is inflicted with Greater Slow. 

Duration Roll: 

p_1d20+1

Haseo is inflicted with Greater Slow for 4 turns.

After getting hit with the Greater Slow, Haseo could only do so much this turn as he took out a Heart Container to heal himself with healing himself for 35% HP. 

"This will help a bit." he said as he used the Heart Container. 

And that was all he could do for now since he used an action to use Sacred Armor. After all that Skeith's time ran out and Haseo was returned to normal. Haseo did not have much to say on the matter at hand but Galacta Knight being here would definitely be a problem.

HP: 101/175

SHIELD: 32/60

STATUS: Greater Slow: A character is slowed down, usually by supernatural means, halving their dexterity stat (rounded down). Duration determined by INT roll with a +4 bonus and also lowers actions by 1 and attack rolls by 2. Lasts for 4 turns.

Adept Rogue Form: 5th Form.

Active Abilities: 

Akano, Dark Matter: 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. 1 turn left.

Cooldowns: Merciless Strike = 1 turn. Sacred Armor = 2 turns.

"Aw, really? That's lame." Ruby commented as she heard Geras talk about how he would just come back stronger if defeated. Keepers of Time sure didn't like playing fair. Well, doesn't look like anyone was out for her right now, so she should be good!

...is what she would think, but as you know, it's never that simple.

Without much warning, 'Galacta Knight' unfroze from the time stasis, and well...he was actually pretty peeved. The good news is that he was out for Kronika and her goons. The bad news is that he was also attacking them as sort of collateral damage.

DELSAk3Wp_1d20-1 (Aeon Storm dodge. Fail, Ruby takes...25 damage because of Aku Aku's protection +10 because Aura things.)
p_1d20+4 (But she still got a tight grip on the sample!)

The Aeon Hero's lighting struck Ruby, her letting out a yell of pain as she was electrocuted. Depsite the severity of the attack, Coco's supplied mask managed to make it hurt...much less than it was intended, and Ruby was determined to keep the sample on her hands. Her grip maintained firm, saving it from being dropped. "H-hey, Coco? Do you have any more of those masks to give me?  This guy's stupid powerful..."

p_1d20+4 (Aeon Tornado dodge, success!)

By Galacta Knight's next attempt of an attack, Ruby managed to steer clear from the tornado he manifested...though she comes across a casualty. "Small tiger, no!" Ruby pleaded, though it was too late, for Pura was already trophied. Ruby looked over the trophy in sadness before she smacked herself...mentally. There was a fight going on!

p_1d20+4 (Kronika's Time Field dodge, success)

Thankfully, she snapped out of her funk just in time to avoid getting into Kronika's time field, managing to avoid getting slown down, unlike what happened to Haseo. Poor guy. Now that the enemy attacks seemed to die down, what would she do? Attacking Galacta Knight was out of the question, last thing she needed was that guy trying to skewer her specifically.

...Alright, attack someone else it was! Ruby started by aiming her Crescent Rose and shooting a couple of rounds towards Akuma from a distance.

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

Then, Ruby would use the time slow from Kupuna-Wa to her advantage, as she would appear to warp in front of Akuma and strike him with an already prepped Buzzsaw Blast. Time slow was amazing. She had to ask Coco if she could nab a copy when they got back.

p_1d20+4 (Ruby's Buzzsaw Blast > Akuma. 20 damage.)

As she leapt into the air thanks to the shot from the previous attack, Ruby looked at the currently-being-destroyed stadium and...hmmm...that gave her an idea! With no warning, Ruby 'blinked' outta sight of everyone...and seemingly vanished. Though, truth be told, she was just hiding behind some debris that would conceal her. They can't attack what they can't see!

p_1d20+4 (Improv stealth check to hide from enemies.)

As she sat there, though, Ruby pulled out the Star Rod she nabbed from Galacta Knight, creepy voices coming back on her head and all. She heard a thing or two about a 'wish' in the middle of the whispers...was this one of those wands that granted wishes? Tentatively, she grasped the artifact and whispered... "Please, help everyone." 

p_1d20-1 (Ruby passed the INT check for the Star Rod! Using Wish of Fufillment: Heals everyone for 20 HP and 20 Shield HP. Ruby gains 40 Aura instead.)

And it seemed to work! Suddenly, Ruby's allies would feel revitalized thanks to Ruby's wish to the Star Rod...to which she quickly stashed back because holy heck were these voices creepy.

Gargos was on his last legs, so he pretty much had no choice but to heal himself while Kronika monologued.

Gargos uses the heart container to heal himself for 32% HP since -1x3=-3, also purging himself of Mortal Wound in the process.

And thanks to Ruby trying out her new Star Rod, Gargos would be healed slightly further...

Thanks Ruby, you healed Gargos for 20 HP and Shield.

Gargos would at least be healed somewhat, but he needed to find a way to avoid the attacks of a souped up Galacta Knight...

DEX ROLL B: p_1d20-4(65% dmg taken from the Aeon Tornado, Damnit...)

However, Gargos would Trophify himself quickly, and as a final act of Spite to Kronika, her Time Wave would be a moot point since he had trophified himself...

[Velvet Crowe, Lord of Calamity]

(Velvet will Shield the first Hit! Breaks her shield and leaves her with 75%!)


t2R1oyCbp_1d100  (Paralyze Resist!)




Velvet looked towards Kronika as she delivered her apparant warning. What would velvet do if a force beyond her control came forth? ...She scowls, And readies herself back into her combative stance. "Same thing i'll do to you." Velvet replied to Kronika's Inquiry. "Devour--!!" She was about to lunge for Kronika once more, Until a Shattering Burst forth Nearby, Making Velvet stop in her tracks as an immeasurable power eminated from the Ring. Galacta Knight was suddenly emerged, and he was glaring them down, ready for Combat, as he unleashed a Storm of Lightning Bolts! "Ghrk-- Lani, Walls, Now!" Velvet demanded, as Lani-Loli threw up some Shields, But then, Was shattered through, Leaving Velvet to rely on her bubbleshield, which equally shattered and left her screaming in pain as the electricity flew through her, Paralyzing her momentarily! Velvet buckled to her knee, Growling angrily as she looked up to see what was next. A Tornado?!





p_1d20+2=12  (Dodge!)





Velvet, Unfortunately, was sent into the Tornado, Pulled inside and Torn apart and thrown across the field, Velvet would land close by her enemy-- Kronika, Who she glares angrily at. "Dont you dare--"  She would say, Only for Kronika to unleash a Massive bellow of time!



p_1d20+2=19 (WHERE WERE YOU ONE ROLL AGO?!)



Velvet managed to gather herself enough to Dash ahead, Avoiding the Time Field entirely as she landed on the opposite side of the field, a Gush of blood spilling across the field as Velvet grit her teeth, Digging into her Jacket and Producing a Heart Container, Crushing it in her hand, as the Healing Energy surrounded her, Sealing her more major tornado wounds, and giving her the opportunity to stand and fight. 

((Heart Container used! 35-6=29% Healed! Now at 39%!))


Following this, Velvet looks at Kronika with a deep anger set in her eyes. But then...A Sudden Idea comes to her mind. Velvet gives a slight smirk, Uncharacteristic for the utterly anger filled Lord of Calamity she was before now. As Velvet suddenly Runs across the Field, Approaching Kronika, And beginning with her first Break Arte. "GALAXY DIVIDER!" Velvet Called Forth, as her Daemonic Claw glew a bright Cosmic Pink, and unleashed a Massive Slashing Wave at Kronika!


p_1d20+2=18 (Star Cutter at Kronika! 36%, Ignores Defensive Buffs!)


And then, Once she was Close to Kronika, Velvet turns and...Throws her Energy Burst at Galacta Knight?! After all, Galacta Knight was flying out of Reach, and not looking at Kronika!


p_1d20+2=8 (Energy Burst at Galacta Knight! 25%, Lowers attack thresholds by Two!)


It didnt have to Hit, But, It had to at least be thrown at him in such a way he'd notice. And this, is where Velvet made her play, as she looked to Kronika, And began to Yell, Loud enough that Galacta Knight would hear her! "What the hell are you doing?! Im your Enemy, Not him!" Velvet would yell. "You Smug Fool...Cheap shots wont get you anywhere, titan!" Velvet yelled with severe venom.

And this, Was Velvet's Plan. To use that Energy Burst attack at Galacta Knight, She would fake that Kronika was the one who threw it, not her. And with her performance, She could convince Galacta Knight to Focus his Aggro on Her!


p_1d20-2=17 (CHA Check! Velvet is trying to trick Galacta Knight into thinking Kronika attacked him with Energy Burst, and to make Kronika his main target!)


"What was that old phrase? Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend?" Velvet asked far more quietly of Kronika, Smirking.

[Coolshaymin]

Galacta Knight noticed his own attack being redirected back at him. The Knight gave a scoff as he put his shield in front of him. "Choose your targets more carefully. Your reflection trick is one of many I have witnessed. More importantly..." Galacta Knight began as he endured the electricity from his reflected attack.

LHwI09wfp_1d20+9(Barely successful Aeon Shield)

The electricity began surging around Galacta Knight's Shield as he stared down Haseo before thrusting his shield forward and releasing a gigantic beam of electricity towards Haseo as he reflected the reflected attack! "My technique is superior!" he declared as the attack came in strong and much larger than before as he amped it up!

p_1d20+8(Galactic Discharge, deals double the damage of the original projectile chances and returns it to sender... So Haseo is getting the bolt, so 100 damage if he fails to dodge)
p_1d20+8(Energy Burst)

Kronika meanwhile had to deal with Velvet as she was blast from the rip in space with her claw that blasted the Titan hard. She glared at the girl as she looked like she was now going to use her copycat ability to use her own move against her... but missed the mark?.... No, that was heading towards-!

Galacta Knight glances back as a blue ball of energy came flying his way. He flipped out of the way of the blast radius before staring down at Kronika and Velvet in silence. "......" He glanced between Kronika and Velvet as if trying to determine who threw that.

"... Cheap shots? Who is throwing the cheap shots again?" The Titan remarked as Galacta Knight seemed to decide who he had more beef with. His eyes narrowed at Kronika.

(Galacta Knight chose to autofail the INT Check)

He disappeared before reappearing behind Haseo in a blink of the eye apparently not done with him. "Your power is many but you lack experience," Galacta Knight declared with all the warning he was willing to give before attempting to impale Haseo with unrivaled precision. If Haseo wasn't quick this could be an easily fatal blow.

p_1d20+8(Nova Impaler, deals 80% damage and can't be blocked. If the attack beats the target's roll or threshold by 5 or more this attack deals 200 damage)

He then disappeared before reappearing to perform a combination of slashes on Kronika.
p_1d20+8(Flurry of Strikes, 30 damage per hit)
p_1d20+8(Flurry of Strikes 2)
p_1d20+8(Flurry of Strikes 3)

However Kronika seemed much more prepared now, turning to dust after the first slash before Galacta Knight turned around for another swipe. However she foresaw this one too and teleported behind him. He was quick to adapt however and kicked her in the chest with a small leap.


p_1d20+3(Aeon Slash Miss)

Kronika turned to sand once more before reappearing behind Galacta Knight with a smug look.... That was before she noticed the lance in her abdominal muscles. H-how did he turn around just in time to impale her like that? She thought he was aiming at the other clone. "Are you quite done, Titan?" Galacta Knight questioned as Kronika grimaced. In the next moment her body collapsed into sand. Galacta Knight has finished her off apparently. Although he still looks down at the sand as if something was not quite right.

p_1d20-2(Nova Impaler, 80 damage, Kronika has fled)

Akuma meanwhile recovered just in time to dodge Ruby's first swipe, flipping back to his feet. The second blow landed it's mark but the other he parried with a block. The final attack from Ruby broke his defenses however as he stumbled back. He grunted as she disappeared from sight looking around.... Kronika fled as well it appears.

"Sorry, Ruby, but I sent all the masks I had on hand. I'll have the Quantum Rift ready to pull you all back before I have more! Don't worry though, I'm almost done. Just a few more adjustments and I can pull you back to our present with the trophies of who fell."

"... That glow..." Galacta Knight looked at lingering wish magic before looking around for where it came from.

p_1d20+8(YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME!)

Galacta Knight suddenly disappeared from sight. In the next moment Ruby could feel a pointy object directly at the back of her neck. A chill may be sent through her spine, possibly. It was silent for a moment and it was hard to tell how he moved over here so fast. "... Hand over the Star Rod. Now." Galacta Knight ordered simply. "If you give me it I'll allow you to leave in one piece," he adds in a threatening tone.

(Ruby! Galacta Knight is holding you at lance point! You can either hand him the Star Rod and believe him or try to talk him down with CHA. Your arguement may matter more than the check. If you fail to talk him down without handing over the Star Rod or an ally of yours or you attacks him this round he gets a Free Action against you.)

Meanwhile Geras stood back up and looked better than before. Faster, stronger, better. However him and Akuma could not see where the sample went. They both looked towards Velvet, deciding her to be their next target since hardly anyone else was here to be. Geras ran towards Velvet before charging up her fist to hit her with a mighty blow.

(Velvet! Geras is about to hit you with the Gauntlet of Ages! Roll a 10 or higher or take 60 damage!)

Then Akuma came and went in for a grab onto Velvet. If he managed to connect the area would go dark before she would feel an endless barrage of brutal punches aimed to finish her off!

(Velvet! Akuma is using his Raging Demon on you! Roll a 15 or higher or take 80 damage!)

(Anomaly Defeated! Sub-Objective... Cleared?)

[Jade Callisto]

Haseo thought that he hit his mark with the reflection attack but it seemed Galacta Knight anticipated this whole thing and reflected the move back again with interest. With greater slow in effect this would be really hard to dodge but he would try anyway. 

DEX Roll to dodge the Aeon Storm: 

nPjjzUgLp_1d20-2

Haseo felt the life being shocked away out of him leaving him at only 1% HP total. Haseo could barely move now as he barely survived one attack while another attack was ready to finish him off with an impale attack. Haseo knew that if he didn't dodge this attack he was going to be trophied, he didn't want that and hoped he was fast enough to dodge it!

DEX Roll to Dodge the Nova Impaler: 

p_1d20-2

(NAT 20! Thank gosh!) Haseo with a burst of speed teleports behind Galacta Knight as he aimed to impale him as a way to finish him off. "Heh is that it?" Sure Haseo was acting tough but he was really hurting right now. Maybe it was best not to taunt the guy that almost killed him. But Haseo couldn't help himself really, if he died that was going to be his own fault. 

Noticing that he was still hurting Haseo took out another Heart Container and used it on himself for a good 35% HP, putting him back at 36%. As he did that Haseo would go in to help Ruby who seemed in a tight spot by attempting to Grapple Galacta Knight from behind. 

STR Roll for Grapple: +2 because of the Mask.

p_1d20+5

Haseo attempted the grab but even if it failed Galacta Knight would need to step out of the way to dodge it, freeing Ruby from his grasp. "Forgetting about someone? What was it you said? Oh yeah! 'You really need more training!'" Haseo used Galacta Knight's insult that he used on him back on the sender. Even if he couldn't reflect the bolt of lightning he could certainly reflect that insult back. It would definitely paint a target on him that's for sure but he was willing to take one for the team if it meant saving the others.

(Because of Haseo's Passive his Sacred Armor's Cooldown is lowered by 1 turn making it free to use next turn.)

"W-well, okay...I don't like putting pressure, but...please be quick!" Ruby replied to Coco, sitting firmly within the debris and biding her time. Well...so far nobody seemed to have noticed her, so maybe things were gonna go smoothly--

The poke from a weapon behind her neck made her blood run cold. Whyyyyyyy couldn't things go smoothly for once??

Galacta Knight urged her to give him the Star Rod. Did he mean the wand she had snatched from him while she hunted for the sample? Well, the good point is that he wasn't trying to grab the sample, but the bad point is that she was on shish-kebab range and she really did not want to become shish-kebab.

Not when they were so close...

After what seemed to be a big moment of silence, Ruby picks up the Star Rod...and turns her arm back, seemingly ready to give it up. "Okay, you can have it." Ruby said, placing the Star Rod on the ground...but not quite letting go of it either. "...but only if you wait until I get my way out." she began, taking a moment to gather her thoughts. "Listen, I wanna trust you, I really do, but...I need to go back, more than anything. If I can't go back, I won't be able to save our future! Things have gotten...pretty bad out there..." There's hesitation from her. Should she continue...? "...People have been dying to that virus now! And it's gonna keep on getting worse unless we stop it! If...if we can stop that...there's gonna be a tomorrow where people can smile and feel at ease, where they can meet someone important, where they can mourn for who they lost...where they can continue to live."

"I...I really want to see that tomorrow happen. So please...just wait a little longer..." Ruby pleaded with the warrior. 

vXPFnORSp_1d20+2 (CHA check. Ruby's offering the Star Rod to Galacta Knight...buuuut she's also asking that he wait until she's ready to leave. Was she able to convince the angy warrior? Only time will tell.)

Despite this, she wasn't gonna bet on her words alone. Discreetly, she activated her Semblance, getting ready to blast away in the case Galacta Knight wasn't swayed by her talking.

(Petal Dance activated at the cost of 30 Aura. 2 turns of +3 to Ruby's DEX.)

Thus, she waited in place. The seconds where she waited for a response from the Aeon Hero were painfully stretched out, her heart beating faster as she prepared herself for the worst. That's when she heard someone coming from behind her and the warrior. "--Haseo, don't!" she tried to dissuade him, but apparently, it didn't take.

Ruby would turn or run with the opportunity, but...perhaps against her better judgement, she decided to stay there instead, still having the Star Rod rest between her hand and the ground. She wanted to make sure she was being legit to the murder blob threatening her life.

Velvet, Heavily wounded and damaged as she was, Let out a bright smirk as she watched Galacta Knight Zone in on Kronika and deliver such intense damage to her, that Kronika seemed to have no choice but to run off and flee! "That's right, Run Coward. I wont stop until i eat you alive!!" Velvet yelled, As she stood herself up, only to then find herself between Two larger fighters. "...Tch." She would quietly say, as Geras and Akuma made there attacks toward her! Geras was easy enough to avoid, as Velvet spun around past him, Taking a few steps back as Akuma rushed in. A Feeling of overwhelming death surrounded Velvet, Before all at once, Velvet just barely grazed by his grab, Stepping away from them both. 

This was bad. Velvet was on her last legs here...She was out of healing options as well, as Velvet's Bloodied body stood up. She looks towards Akuma...And decides that he's earned the upcoming Scorn. She readies her Consuming Claw, and lunges for him!


p_1d20+2=16 (Consuming Claw! 10% Damage, Gains a Break Arte from Akuma!)

"Scarlet Edge!" Following this, velvet turns her Heel and Launches a Burning Strike at Geras to Incinerate him-- And Hopefully burn him so he will think twice before attacking her again!

p_1d20+2=12 (Scarlet Edge! 18% Damage, Guaranteed Burn, Can not Crit, 1 Turn cooldown.)


And then lastly, Velvet launches a Shadowy Orb at Akuma, To keep him slowed in place, as she Empowers it, the Orb Electrifies! "Thunder Blitz!"


p_1d20+2-1=2 (Thunder blitz, 20% Damage, -1 to hit, Afflicts Paralysis, 2 turn cooldown.)

Galacta Knight looks to the Star Rod, ready to retrieve the artifact before pausing to look to Ruby. He was silent as all she could tell from his face was he had pink eyes that would the pierce the soul. He glanced towards the star rod before back to Ruby. So if she wasn't here for that then-... However before he could finish processing this information something before realizing he was being approached from behind.

b7LTcAHep_1d20+9(Galacta Knight is not grappled. He gets a free action against... Haseo?)

"... Know when you're beaten," Galacta Knight replied simply as he shifted away from the grab before attacking Haseo with a flurry of attacks. Seems he was not a big fan of being interrupted when he was not in the middle of something. A rapid series of jabs followed by a kick.

p_1d20+8(Flurry of Strikes on Haseo 1, attacks three times for one action, 30%)
p_1d20+8(Flurry of Strikes 2, 30%)
p_1d20+8(Flurry of Strikes 3, 30%)

After the barrage of attacks he would lunge forward to grab Haseo before flying with him up into the air if he successfully landed it. He would follow this up with a barrage of strikes from all angles before sending flying back down into the ground with a kick from above.

p_1d20+8(Aerial Barrage Grab on Haseo, can't be shielded, deals 100 damage)

From the air Galacta Knight would let loose one last attack by attempting to impale Haseo with another one of his impaling strikes.

p_1d20+8(Nova Impaler on Haseo, deals 80% damage and can't be blocked. If the attack beats the target's roll or threshold by 5 or more this attack deals 200 damage)

Whether or not his attacks met their mark Galacta Knight would finish off by kicking Haseo away from Ruby's hiding spot, trophy or not. Weirdly despite having all the power to do so he was holding back just enough to not murder Haseo completely.

p_1d20+8(Aeon Sla-er kick on Haseo, 70%)

"... What a waste of time," Galacta Knight remarked before pointing his lance back to Ruby who... was not moving to help her ally despite that vicious assault. "... So allow me to confirm. You came back from the future because you believe my experiment can help you prevent an outbreak of the Infection?" He asked, evaluating Ruby for a long moment. "... I have nothing to gain from stopping you. You dealing with that infection is to my benefit actually... With this knowledge... Alright, I'll meet your demand. However, you turn back on your word or if you fail to save the future, you will have no future. Understood?" He added, just making it clear he wont' have any backstabbings against him before turning around. "You stay here, I'll buy you the time you need," he adds before vanishing once more.

p_1d20+3(Aeon Kick on Akuma, 70%)

Akuma was hit by the hand of all consuming power once again. While he recovered Geras dodged the burning blade, turning into sand before continuing his approach. Akuma recovered from the therian claw before jumping over the orb and making a run for her. Before he could make it however a kick landed firmly against his face and sent him reeling. He looked ready to attack Galacta Knight who just stepped down alongside Velvet but he looked down as his body dissolved into sand.

"Alright guys, the rift is ready! Hurry on in so I can close it! It won't last long!" Coco called, a rift picking up any allies that were trophified and one appearing behind Velvet and Ruby each.

(Your escape route is open, you can only use it this turn.)

"... Go, this foe can not be stopped by force. You'd just be wasting your time here. The Titan probably returned to your time and I can't touch her there. Not yet," Galacta Knight remarked, glancing back to Velvet. "..." Geras seems to just be watching for now for some reason.

Ruby tried to avoid wincing too much as Haseo was apparently pummeled again by the hands of the diminutive warrior. Not that she turned around to see. She had a feeling if she moved, Galacta Knight was going to skewer her. Once he turned back to her, and asked her the important question...Ruby nodded lightly, so she didn't hurt herself as she still had a lance at neckpoint. "Yeah, that's right." she said, making her voice grow firmer to better show she was serious about this.

Eventually, Ruby heaved a sigh of relief as Galacta Knight agreed to her terms, only to freeze up again as he threatened her if she ever go back on her word. "A-alright, noted!" she squeaked in fear. Sure, she'd likely have no future if they failed regardless, but the other's threat just kinda...hit different.

As per the warrior's request, she stood there as he took care of the other enemies. Ruby sat there, waiting for her escape route to show up...and it soon did, with Coco opening up a Quantum Rift behind her. As Galacta Knight urged them to go, Ruby stood up, turned around...and threw the Star Rod back at the blob.

(Ruby gives the Star Rod back to Galacta Knight!)

"Thanks for trusting me on this. Really." Ruby said, smiling at the Aeon Hero briefly before she focused on the escape route. Taking a deep breath, she rushed towards the portal, petals flying through the air as she went through the Quantum Rift, sample still safe in her grasp.

Wow, that was intense...

(Escape route taken!)

Well this was the result he expected really as Galacta Knight turned his attention toward him and unleashed a flurry of blows against his body. Haseo could only try to dodge at this point but he knew that mission was pretty much complete at this point so he didn't have to worry too much about going down from all this. He would just be brought back after all right? Attempting to dodge what he could it would likely end in his being trophied, whatever that was. He never had been trophied before and wondered what it was but he had a feeling he would soon experience what it truly was after all this.

DEX Rolls to dodge: Greater Slow still in effect.

Haseo is hit for 30% damage!

p_1d20-2

Haseo is knocked out and then trophied. "At least I didn't do this in vain." he said before passing out and becoming a trophy. His trophy being kicked away by Galacta Knight after all was said and done. His only worry before passing out was if he would be stuck in the past or not. Hopefully everything worked out in the end, still he knew he put up a great fight for the formula.

Haseo is trophied! Here is hoping you guys take him back to the future with you.

Haseo's, Gargos's and Pura's trophies were pulled into the rifts near them to be sent back to the lab. Coco glanced at them before looking back to her monitor which showed a vision of the past they were just in. It was a good thing she was friends with Quantum Masks or setting this up may of been a tiny bit more difficult. The rift on Velvet's side seemed especially strong and suddenly pulled her into it with great force despite whatever decision she may of had before.

(Velvet, you are yeeted back to the present due to missing the post date)

Galacta Knight glanced back to Ruby before catching the Star Rod. "..." Galacta Knight gave a simple nod before returning his focus to Geras allowing Ruby to escape back to the lab. "Congratulations, you... um, two. It got a little rough near the end when Galacta Knight showed up but we can call this mission a success!" The screen was now just static as Coco walked over to Ruby and Velvet. "I'll take the sample and Past Packs back now. To put the packs away and give the sample over to the researchers... If you two could get Haseo, Gargos and Pura treatment in the meantime I'd appreciate that," she adds that last part glancing to the trophies. They managed to complete their  mission although the interference team save for Geras got away. Still, with the help of Galacta Knight they managed to wound the titan.

(Sub-objective complete and...)

Mission Complete!

(Make your end of presences now. There is still one more post before the mission is properly finished. A post-credits scene kind of.)

[Velvet Crowe, Lord of Calamity]

"..." Velvet looked to Galacta Knight as he gave his warning, Nodding solemnly. "...Thanks." Was the only reply Velvet decided was worth providing, as the Rift's strength pulled on her, As Velvet simply lept ahead, jumping into the Rift and landing in the Present, taking a deep breath and sighing as she stood before Coco. She rolls off the Past pack, and by extension, The Lani-Loli mask. "OH SWEET ME, FI N A L L Y, COCO, THAT LADY IS CRAZY, SHE KEPT YELLING ANGRY WORDS, SHE WASNT EVEN GOING AFTER THE CURE HALF THE TIME--" Lani-Loli began to repeatedly complain about his experience on Velvet, as the Lord of Calamity elected to ignore him, and listen to Coco. Take the Trophies back? What, Was she some kind of Carrier Mule now?


She looks at Haseo and Gargos's trophies, Scowling...And electing to pick up Pura's instead. Small Cat is Nice and easy to pick up when you have intense blood loss. She begins taking steps towards the door, As soon, Samus's Lab Assistants came in to help Hoist Gargos and Haseo's trophies as well.

"...When i find that Titan...There is nothing in this world that will save her. I will break her bones between my teeth, Grind her armor into dust, and tear her skin asunder...For how she pained us. To push her pathetic rules upon us..." Velvet would say firmly. 


A Titan Must Fall.

End Presence.

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Landing back into the present time with a storm of petals by her side, Ruby stood there, striking a cool pose...before sitting down on the ground, catching her breath. "Whew...we made it back..." she spoke out in relief, between heavy breaths.

As Coco welcomed both of them back, Ruby waved at her. "Hiiiii...!" she said as she continued breathing heavily. Once she requested the Past Packs and the sample, Ruby gave out the sample to Coco first, then took the Past Pack off her back and looking at it for a little while. "Thanks, Kupuna-Wa. You helped me out a bunch!" she said, extending the gratitude to the mask that helped her before she passed the Past Pack to the bandicoot as well.

As Coco mentioned carrying the trophies from her teammates, Ruby nodded. "Sure, I can help with that too! Hey, Velvet, how about we--" she would begin, only to notice Velvet was already leaving...with only Pura in hand. "H-heeey! Come on, that's not fair! Let's split the weight!" she complained, going for both Haseo's and Gargos's trophies...only for some lab assistants to pick 'em up instead. ...Oh.

"...Guess that means that's covered." she says, mostly to herself as she watched the lab assistants hoist the trophies away. "Well, I'll leave you to the cure-making thing, Coco! Good luck, and careful with the sample!" she said, waving at the bandicoot before she rushed off herself.
