Raine smiles.
"That expression you have is enough for me to know I don't need to say anything else, buddy. And I just got one thing to tell you."
She hops on back towards Niki and the others, lending her power to them.
"You don't scare me."

Malice lets its head lilt, that twisted smile getting wider somehow as it looks from Clear to the group gathering by the crystals. A trick of perspective maybe, fitting as its body seems to twist imperceptibly, eb and flicker like a flame in motion.
"There you go with that moral victor shit again. Do you feel proud of yourself? Do you feel like you've taught me an important lesson? Or shown me the error of my ways? I don't scare you... and that's what matters, right? You'll stand together, and not fall apart, right? But, I was never trying to divide you."
The flickering black lifts its hand high above its head, a swirl of vibrant red flames condensing to one point in its palm.
"The bonds that connect you... they'll drag you all down together."
Malice drops its hand. And that point expands outward, explodes outward even, in a blast that engulfs the entirety of the surrounding area indiscriminately. The initial explosion leaves a rushing sea of flames in its wake, Malice standing tall as the embers around it join its form and burn away the paint, reinvigorating it. And its all Raz can do but throw up his spears in a defensive cross, feet embedding in the ground and teeth gritting as it pushes him back. He chokes back words, as words that feel far off echo in his mind.
Our wills. Precious things, and we're entrusting them to you guys.
His stance breaks, and the attack is upon him. Throwing him high in the air, to come down in a crumpled, hunched-over heap.

"What's this you say about bonds?"
Everyone feels it when Nora appears in the arena. The pulse, the heartbeat, the flow of Blood. From most perspectives, it would feel like the complete mastery of her aspect. Nora had no illusions of the amount of power she had though.
When she appears, she appears in front of Malice. She isn't bristling, but smiling. It was visible, the thick veins of Blood that flowed between each and every person here. Something was different though. There didn't seem to be any connected to her. Nora's presence making the bonds between everyone else was strong and vibrant, while none connected to Nora herself.
The bonds of blood represented their bonds and Nora's energy started to let everyone regenerate with massive amounts of health and create a semi-shared health pool-- making it harder to damage a single target.
Despite this, Nora herself emanated a powerful visible aura of red, indicating a strong resilience herself. She points her scythe at M̜̫̮͚̲̲̯͓̆ͯͨ̍̇ä̴͍̦̞́ͧ̂ļ̪̜̩͔̩͙̬̪̆͑ͪ̒̒ͭ͡í͈̼͖̰͙̬͉̰̅ͨc̴̋̇̂͋̐̚҉̝̩̪̲̱͔̭̭ě̴͓̋͒. Nora smirks.
"Hey, I wanna have some fun too, Malice. What kind of edgy name is that, anyway? Heh, let's have a good spar, shall we? Maybe we can get some drinks later too." She giggles, intensity there, but she was still bubbly.

Right as the explosion starts, Niki quickly tries to activate the crystals.
"PRISM RECOMBINER!"
Lavender, purple, brown, indigo, and likely a few others shoot beams into a central spot, creating a rainbow laser-
But, Niki and the others get hit by this explosion too quickly, and the laser only gets a slight chance to strike before their focus is bumped off while trying to endure an actual explosion.
The smoke clears, and Niki is on the ground.
Some way, some how, she's still intact. Breathing heavily, but in one piece nonetheless.
There's pain everywhere.
She can hardly even see straight, let alone summon the strength to move.
Is this the end?
No, it can't be. They have to fight it.
Soon enough though, strength begins to slowly return to her, more with every heartbeat.
Niki sits up and notices the weird gross things connecting her and the others together. This blood magic better not mess up on blood type or spread blood borne diseases... she shakes the thoughts away, they need to get back up here.
Niki gets back up to her feet and tries to help out those connected to her. She tries to help Patrick get up first.
"Come on guys, we've got stuff to do still! We can't back down now!"

"There's not a lesson to be learned for a half baked monster and his petty fight."
Clear stands up from her chair with a sigh.
"We might be fighting continuously... and you keep talking about how powerful you really are..."
She looks up at Malice again.
"But you're actually backed into a corner aren't you? You can't... or maybe even Won't actually Kill us."

FLord finds himself on the ground, coughing, after everything had turned black for a moment. He stood up, and looked around. Everyone elses HP was down near 1, so... why was that attack that powerful? His was down to 1 as well, so whatever happened didn't... cause it to miss... so... what the fuck was going on.

"Everyone, Please, stop attacking."
Clear looks to the rest of the group. In her mind, she makes a bet with herself on the outcome of this encounter...
"If we attack Malice with malice, then we are going to get nowhere. It will continue to grow and continue to be a problem. This is not some kind of creature that can be put down with simple attacks."
"This very well may be a monster that we can defeat without doing anything at all."

The Heir of Hope stands up, shakily. He can feel the flood of anger from the Seth far below him, as well as the bonds that Nora has manifested between him and the other 'Pawns. He barely acknowledges being down to half-a-heart and instead begins to reshape the burning anger he's receiving. His aspect powers start working double-time, converting the raw emotion into Hope energy. He starts distributing it out through the web of connections Thoren's heart container and Nora's Blood powers tied him into. He starts to use his naturally high level of Imagination Energy to try and morph the softball bat in his hand into a Staff of Hope to focus his powers. After all, this is just a really repressive Dream Bubble, isn't it?
"So, this guy is representing all our negative emotions, right? In that case, I suppose I have to represent all of our positive emotions since no one else can. I'm the Heir of Hope, dickweed, and I'm not going to let you crush our spirits so easily!"

Niki stays close to Patrick, smiling. Through the connection Nora has made between them all here, she can feel the hope from him. She pulls out her cornstaff once again and holds onto it, partially for the sake of something familiar to hold onto.
While Clear's idea makes sense, she can't help but find fault in it though.
"We can't just do nothing! We have to stand up for ourselves! We can't just let this thing destroy us without a fight! I'm not giving up so easily!"
Niki spins her cornstaff around and stamps it upon the ground.
She then swings it and launches a dozen dazzling corncobs towards Malice! With each hit they light up the immediate area, blinding the target!
"We need to do something!"

Raine is again flung up into the air and into the ground below.
And again, she rises up, with a little trouble.
She's grinning.
There seems to be a rage that's boiling over...Something must be happening below.
She tries to use that same rage to psych herself up for her battle.
"Haha...Well, It seems like I don't have any reason to listen to you anyway! I'll beat you down until you're back to the invisible, intangible concept you're supposed to be! Now...! Less words and more actions!!"
She breaks into a run with her mace in hand once again.
...Though it seems that maybe there may be too much rage here.

FLord, after looking around, spots someone untouched by Malice's onslaught of attacks. That... that was the answer, wasn't it?
FLord dashes over to Clear, before lifting them off the ground, and charging Malice with them, as she seemed to be outright invincible to everything that Malice was doing.

Clear appears to have been hoisted up and is presently being used as a battering ram.
Shes not really sure how to feel about this. She is relatively light and soft to the touch. Her dress and shawl seem to be made out of some kind of soft and smooth material.

"3Э OOf coourse we're noot giving up, but what haven't we tried yet? That's what we need too-- 3Э" Kalmaro's train of thought is interrupted by FLord running out of the circle and...
"3Э ...Is... Is he actually... 3Э" There are not enough facetentacle gifs on SquidNet to describe what he's feeling right now. "3Э ...He's actually using her as a battering ram. Well, pooints foor ooriginality? 3Э"
