High above the Heir continues his ascent, further and further into the sky with that avian of flame and metal and who can say what else at his back. In his hands, his weapons. And below, still behind scattered by those wings, weapons and meteors forming a thicket that threatens to completely obliterate all below.
Get away from me!!!
Help me...
I don't...! I don't need...
This... is this right...?
...But I don't have any other choice.
So many voices... the only ones I can listen to is mine!
But... what is that saying?
It's saying... everything...
Everything has to disappear...
EVERYTHING...!!!!!!!!!!
It hurts. It hurts, and he howls his pain even as he obscures it with a hand covering his face and exercising incredibly poor weapon discipline. But through the gap in his hand and the pain he sees it. The one responsible, and everyone else fighting against oblivion.
And his pupils narrow, and he lashes both arms back to throw them forward in a crossing slash that sends a massive rushing X of black flames honed to an edge downward. He'll rip them to shreds before they even get close. He won't allow them even that luxury. And loud, loud enough for them to hear even this far away...
"When are you gonna realize it?! This isn't a fight you can win, because IT'S NOT A FIGHT I'M GOING TO LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Charles has broken through the cloud lair, following Raz and his small group. He holds the Mad Scientist's Swiss Army Egg Beater at the ready, staring the scourge down, waiting for /him/ to make the first move...

Rid continues to fly upwards, holding Medi in one hand, shield in the other. He tries to utilize his time powers to make dodging obstacles easier for him and his beloved one.
"Medi, you still have that chainsaw, right? That could come in handy right about now. We're flying straight into the shitstorm and it would be nice to not have to dodge everything. Even though I totally can."
Meanwhile, Jake and the seths are swinging Bow-wow at whatever might be coming their way. It's not the most elegant solution, but their combined strength is quite enough to pull it off. Bow-wow seems to be having fun, considering he's absolutely impenetrable to anything that hits him.
Thoraine, with their combined experiences in various types of bullet hell, and various enhancements of the technological and temporal variety, appears to be doing incredibly well at dodging absolutely everything thrown at them. Red and purple afterimages stream off of them as they continue their ascent at unreal speeds.
They see the flaming black edge-X coming down towards them and pull out their... scythe-mace? It seems to change form depending on whomever is taking a dominant role. Both weapon forms appear to have a dual twizzler color twist motif to them.
They charge up their scythe, and let loose a powerful crescent-shaped wave of energy to meet with the black flaming X!
"WE'RE NOT GIVING UP SO EASILY EITHER! THE WILLS OF MANY SHALL OVERPOWER YOU!"

The most OP mech currently in this section of Paradox Space continues its ascent toward the Scourge. The magmortic coating melts all the rubble and weaponry it comes into contact with, while its pilot focuses his powers on stealing away control of the surrounding battleships. As it reaches the Xs, it begins shooting out streams of Magma from its now literally Blazing Pistols to burn a path through.
...
Within its cockpit, however, things weren't looking so bright. In fact, it was really dark inside. The coating of molten rock and metal that had formed as it pushed its way through covered the holes that let in light. It was only through Zowera's Space powers did he know where anything outside was at all.
...
After talking on Pesterchum using the mech's communication system, RN decides to jump out and try to help Niki. Sponge manages to get a hatch near the lion RN is in opened up, and RN jumps out. Being careful to avoid being hit by anything, RN flies back down to the lower part of the Dome.

After an extended moment elsewhere, Niki and Patrick make their way back into the fray, using their light and hope powers to avoid getting hit by falling projectiles. They manage to get past them and enter the mouth of the giant mech.
At this point they assume their
Meanwhile, the troll physics-fed hope beam from earlier is making its way towards the Scourge!

While Rid and Medi are flying up on their way, a familiar face greets them... -- Open Memolog --
Upon exiting the temporarily protected platform, Rid now has an upgraded power bracelet, which now can protect and heal nearby targets and/or the user, at the cost of magic energy. They have resumed flying up towards their target in the same manner as before. One hand holding the shield, the other holding Medi. |

Plasma blasts and kinetic ammunition rain from the array of cannons and ships, a thicket demanding the attention of those looking to ascend. Some rely on wards to guarantee their well-being; others, weave through the destruction expertly, and some do both, anything to weather this storm of falling weapons and munitions. Higher above and still rising, even as they push through, the Heir swings his lone arm in a wide sweep, discs an innumerable number of vibrant colors lined up side-to-side circling him in a dizzying rotation as the wing beats of his shadow send another wave of meteors and weapons toward the group. They're level with the fleet now, just about, but as the Heir swings his arm upward words imprint in their heads again and again, some of the discs fading to a duller grayish tone.
Tuned Menace
Lockstep March To The End
Barb Reverb
The sky changes color, once, then twice, then three times. A symbol of doom flashes over each of the rising squadron for just a moment, to seemingly no other effect. But now it seems as though every falling weapon or blast rippling toward them has a mind of its own, homing in on their locations with uncanny, deadly accuracy. Raine begins to pick up as something crackles in the Scourge's cupped hand... An orb of electricity, looped by a small serpent that feeds out from the spark before diving back into it. Pixelizing into existence from nowhere, faster than should by possible, another ship appears above the mech, looking to prove it may be the most powerful mech but its not the most powerful aerial vessel in Paradox Space. It's method, ramming toward the mech at top speed and unleashing a full salvo of Hope blasts and frigid, subzero waves meant to counter the lava.
The crosses meet with a tremendous output of force, smoke and dust left in the wake of their collision. The shadow rears its wings, flames shrouding it flickering to those wings and giving a better view of its body. Sheer black, fuzzy at the edges, insubstantial as if its existence itself is a mystery. A bird, maybe, but what can be most closely approximated as a head lacks any sort of beak... or any identifying features, really. Until a red line forms in it... And another, and red line after red line seemingly cut through the inky blob.
The line splits. And a stark visage... An eye, piercing in its gaze as it looks every which way before settling on Thoraine. Line after line reveals itself an eye, spread along the sides, back and top of this thing that can't be called a head, all focusing on Thoraine before the black flames surge again and they're hidden from view. Beating wings accompanied by a shrill uptick of noise, a piercing cry coming from nowhere and everywhere as crescents of razor wind tinged with black crackling flames swing downward, homing in on any they come across. Feathers fired with surgical precision rush past even those, aiming to snipe the squadron clear out of the skies. And thunder cracks the sky with its sound.
"If you think your collective wills beat ours I'll break that fucked-up illusion!!!! My body, my life, our existences, everything is a worthwhile price... But the ONE THING THAT WILL LAST FOREVER AND FUCKING EVER, IS THIS HOPE DRIVING US FORWARD!!!!!!!!!
I WON'T STOP AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!!!!!!!!!!!"

Faced with a multitude of projectiles heading his way, FL vanishes in a flash of flame... before appearing relatively level with the scourge.
"WE AREN'T GOING TO LET YOU DESTROY EVERYTHING WE WORKED SO HARD FOR! I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU TAKE OUR VICTORY AWAY FROM US!"
Missile launchers pop out of panels of the MSSAEB, before firing off a volley at the scourge. FL vanishes in another flash of flame, evading a shot that had managed to home its way up to him, appearing further away.

The Ice ship crashes against the voltron mech and the passengers are pushed into action... The unpiloted legs are ejected... The head of the voltron, piloted by Zowera, is hit directly by the ice ship... The limeblood troll is now DEAD. The wreckage of his section and the ice ship is down below. *Aperture and Sponge retreat to Respite field in their section... The Smith of Flow has taken to the skies at impressive speeds, holding up a shield for protection... The magma layer is consequently gone... Kalmaro, the inkling Heir of Time, appears while asleep and assists them at the turrets... Kcirtap is asleep and somehow just fine... A Light/hope shield had been put up, though it cannot block everything... Niki now has a large amount of regular and deudly bricks, as well as an eject option on her digital camera modus... |

Homing projectiles fall down from above and make their way towards Jake and the seths! Together, they help him swing bow-wow around to hit things out of their way! Round and round and round and round and round and weeeeeee! Bow-wow goes hurtling upwards! It takes quite a few hits as things bounce harmlessly off in other directions. As a small group of seths go after bow-wow to retrieve it, the rest continue to propel Jake higher. He pulls out his spirit knife while ascending and the blade flares up with intense spirit energy, projecting a blade at least 2 feet long! He uses it to slash at any remaining things going after them! He puts it safely away and resumes dodging the other things still falling down. the retrieval party hands the chain of bow-wow back to him, continuing to support the chain chomp's weight for him.
Meanwhile, Rid and Medi meet up with another suddenly appearing person... Show MemologAfter this initial meeting, they continue their ascent together, supporting each other every step of the way...
With Thoraine however... |

Dumas takes the lead and deploys a large HardLight Shield in front of him, aiming to take all incoming attacks as well as he can. Aaron kneels down on his shoulder and keeps her rifle trained on the beast above. She fires off shots at presumed vital points to try and shake the scourge's balance. Sartana keeps up with the two with his great sword drawn. Once he's close enough, he plans to take this beast head on.

In a perhaps desperate stall for time, Raine and Thoren join the memo to discuss strategy online. {Show Memolog}
CEF: ...
CEF: Raine...
CTW: h-huh?
CEF: I'm scared
CEF: I know I shouldn't be
CEF: But,
CEF: Do you even know what that... thing is supposed to look like?
CEF: Looking at us
CTW: ...nope.
CEF: What are we supposed to do against it?
CTW: im just as terrified...but...
CTW: ...
CEF: I don't know how I'd be able to get through this without you so close to my side
CTW: id have to say the same, to be honest...
CEF: ...what can we throw at it
CEF: Somebody suggested boomeranging the scythe,
but would that work?
CEF: What if... what if it catches it
CTW: I'm willing to try anything at this point.
CEF: We need to make sure it's uncatchable by anytwo else.
CTW: ...
CEF: Maybe... electrostatic charge?
CEF: Wait, we can recall our weapon back after its out
of our hands, right?
CTW: I believe so.
CEF: That should cover it then
CEF: l'll cover the targeting, you cover the throwing. The lock on sub program I have should be able to guide your aim.
CEF: Does that work for you?
CEF: We may not be able to identify what it looks like, but basic shape detection should be good enough. I'll just point us towards the most fear inducing object in our vision
CTW: ...Got it.
CEF: I'm glad we have this figured out.
CTW: ...
CEF: ...are you ready?
CEF: I swear if the progression of time wasn't so situationally slow while accessing the memo, we'd both be upon the docks of necropolis by now.
CTW: s-sorry
CEF: it's okay
CEF: I realize the electronics I am bound to most likely make me able to process thoughts at a much faster rate than most, and I should try to work at your speed while in your domain.
CTW: I just... still have a lot on my mind. I know I should focus...
CEF: It's hard... I know. But we can do this. Thoraine is currently being stared at by the unknown one eyed thing. Doom markers are still active on everyone, and things are flying towards them to hit them! Working on pure impulse, they try to deflect the things by spinning their scythemace around in circles! With a fair amount of effort, the feathers and a vast majority of the weapons that had targeted them are deflected away by their maneuver. However, one or two of the razor wind crescents manage to make their way through their defenses, slicing gashes upon Thoraine's armor. Thankfully it only impacts the armor layer. [ Damage calculation.... ][ Armor 80% Health 98% remaining ][ Alright, coast's clear. I'm scanning now ]And with that, the Thoren half of Thoraine begins searching for their target. It doesn't take too long to... lock eyes with it once more. [ T-target locked... ]Fear. Even behind his technological persona, Thoren can still feel an immense intimidation from making eye contact with their target. It's the right target alright... just need to simplify the display... there. Now it's just a dark shambling shape of sorts. [ Fire at will, my darling ][ I believe in you. ]"..."Thoraine throws their weapon at the target with a generous amount of force! Shwoopshwoopshwoopshwoop! The scythemace hurtles on its way towards the unimaginable nightmare target... |

During what seemed to be an eternity compressed into a moment, Medi becomes so filled with shame and regret that it becomes too much for her.
"H̴͝͝͞h̴̢h̵̵͝h́́͢͝.̛.̸̵͏̵̸.̡.̷̡̀͝͡a̧̨̛͜-̵̕a̶̡̛a̴͘͢͡a͡͏̡̛͝á͡a̴̕a҉҉̵̸͝à̀ą̷̧̕͞-̴͟͞͞a̶̡̕á̡̨̨a̶҉͟͏ą̸́͢͞h̵͢͏̨͠.̷͝҉̵̷.̷̡̛͜.̡̛͠.̶h͏҉͝.̨̀͞.̸͝.̸̢̛́.̨́͡!"
She's beyond freezing, to almost unbearable temperatures. And not only that...She starts to slip from Rid's grip.
It's almost as if she's melting...?
Whatever she's doing, it's enough for her to slip through, falling back down into the earth below.

Holding the now frigid Medi, Rid can hardly keep ahold of her as she slips from his embrace. It's just... too cold.
"...Medi!"
Rid dives down after her, putting all his focus into speed.
"Please... why!?"

the sky is falling. But, what else is new. He's above, far above, still rising into the prismatic shine of the void. And their chase, their hot pursuit, remains, even as the falling stars and meteors, fragments and weapons, every bit of opposition hones in on them alongside gravity. The sound of thunder splits the skies, followed shortly by a bolt of lightning that frames their foe...Show Eventlog!!!Raine loses consciousness for a little while and Thoren loses all sense of restraint as he keeps them in the fight Clear prays a ton, her lunar knights do what they can before they fall apart. Patrick keeps his robot lion out of the fray for most of the fight out of safety concerns, Niki continues shooting off bricks and protecting it with her light powers. Kalmaro drops in for a bit to assist with his time powers too. At some point, The Scourge activates his most nefarious of fraymotifs: Last Bars Fermata. Everyone is locked into place and endless weapons threaten to kill them all when suddenly..... Chronos enters the fray and disables the fraymotif! Lycoris rides his cephalopod form into battle as he makes his entrance known! In this moment, Thoren no longer feels hopeless and Raine regains proper consciousness, allowing them to function at full power again! Charles attempts to go Kznissie on the scourge's ass, but winds up getting his own (already blended from multiple charles) soul shattered. After much fighting, The Scourge is finally held in place long enough for Raz to reach him and... It worked. Unfortunately, despite Raz's ability to return Beta Rob to reason, those which had been with him still have terrible apocalyptic desires. Their silhouettes begin appearing, and The Scourge screams! And then... Darkness.
