As Kat follows in, she immediately locates and spots Elsey. Elsey notices her, and reacts with a concerned expression, but says nothing.
Kat looks to the crowd.
"Please, return my friend! She's done nothing wrong!"

Seth, possessed by an unrelenting rage, mercilessly attacks any guards in his way, slamming his firey fists into them, choking them with their own watch chains, and even pulling out his technoscythe to stab them. He conducts his brightly burning fire down to the blades of the scythe. It cauterizes the wounds immediately afterwards.
Five of the six guards are on the ground, unable to fight. Two or three of them are possibly mortally wounded. One has hidden into the crowd to avoid the berserk youth.
Seth stands there in the center of the aisle, breathing heavily. He hasn't even stopped to think yet.
Suddenly, an intense pain afflicts him and he topples over onto the ground. It's like a flame that is painful to the touch, unlike his own.
"AAAAAAAAAGH!"
Seth is on the ground, in a pile of unconscious cultist guards, holding a double-bladed scythe that looks like it came straight out of Tron.

The Ceremony Master stands and watches unflinchingly at the violent display before him, before answering Kat's cry.
"Your friend? Ah, you mean the First Temporic. You are correct, she did not do anything wrong."
At that moment, red sparks of electricity begin flashing in front of the pyre. Any time players would be able to sense a hole forming in the timespace fabric at that location.
"You on the other hand, did. Do not think you will get off scott-free, Heartbreaker Katrina." He points accusingly at her.
> HER N▲ME ISN'T K▲TRIN▲ BUT WH▲TEVER, CLΘSE ENΘUGH. I STILL H▲TE HER.
"You will never get to see your 'friend', I will make sure of that." He smiles and snaps his fingers once more. Another row of guards show up, nearly identical to the last. The MC thanks the Voice for warning him of the Heir's arrival.
> DΘN'T MENTIΘN IT, THE LE▲ST I C▲N DΘ FΘR YΘU WHILE YΘU'RE DΘING ME ▲ F▲VΘR.
The guards slowly walk towards the party, going around the pile where Seth and the 5 are collapsed together. The 6th one from the first group joins in. They all swing their oversized pocketwatches in a synchronized manner.

Elsey flinches. As much as she's able and willing to actually kick these idiot's asses...She couldn't. She wasn't sure if it was out of fear or some other thing anymore, but something told her if she tries, Kat would get more hurt than she would probably get.
Kat notices the temporal phenomenon happening and out of a sense of panic and protection she leaps up and flies straight towards her friend, a light blue spellcircle appears on her hands.
"I don't know what sins I have caused, but I will not allow you to hurt Elsey!"
She attempts to slow time as she raises her hand up, causing a cold, but not frigid, breeze. Perhaps this may slow them down...

Nak waltzes up behind the growing crowd at the doorway, peeking his snout into the room and giving a scan across it before stopping at the slouched seth.
"Why edgeman on ground? Hornpeople easy, no match for gods, godking?"

Niki looks into the chamber with Nak and sighs. Is this really what we're doing now?
"Honestly, I don't even know. Seth's been a little... off-the-chain since that heart container thing. ➜"
She takes a deep breath and prepares to walk into the room.

The time-slowing spell works just as intended. Everyone in the room is showed down, except for any time players that would be able to catch on. Seth however, is not in the condition to be using his time powers and is likely slowed with the rest.
But, a hole is beginning to emerge in front of the pyre, at full speed. A crouched figure, sillohetted in red, skipping frames with fading afterimages, appears in a showering lightning storm. The silhouette dissipates to reveal a temporic Maid of Time, somewhat feminine looking. She stands and faces Kat with a cold stare of mistrust.
"I have travelled back in time to stop you, Heartbreaker Katniss. Prepare to meet your end."
The hole behind her stays open, but seems to be stable, still swirling with frequent red electric sparks.
The Maid pulls out a rather large rigid clock pendulum and holds it in a manner similar to a baseball bat.
What will you do?

She was definitely surprised to see the appearance of a time player. Even more of a time player from this planet's session.
"H-hey...W-wait...."
Kat shows an embarrassed smile as she floats back a little. Jeez, this is the second time she's been called a different name. And what's with the title of 'Heartbreaker'? She doesn't remember herself...or any instance of her doing something that would give her a title like that.
"I...well...I'm not really sure why everyone's calling me a heartbreaker...b-but I'm only here to get my friend back...I...I apologize for my friend here, hurting a few people, but..."
She glances at Seth, worried about his strange outburst and the fact that he didn't hold back at all.
She holds her hands together and bows a little, as a sign that she's not willing to fight.
"Please, I'll leave what fate has designed for this planet alone, but I need my friend with me...She's someone very precious to me and I'm worried that these people will hurt her!"

The Maid continues to stare Kat down. There seems to be some doubt that this is even the right person though.
> SHE'S TΘT▲LLY THE RIGHT GIRL. CLE▲N HER CLΘCK ▲LRE▲DY!
She loosens, and then tightens her grip, and then loosens it again.
"We will not hurt you so-called 'precious one'. How can we... trust you with the First Temporic of all people, when you've acted so terrible in the far past?"
> ▲TT▲CK NΘW!
The maid closes her eyes and rushes towards Kat, swinging blindly.
Perhaps fate will guide her swing to the way it should go.
Meanwhile, the guards are sloooowwwwly making their way across the room, and Seth is knocked out for the time being.

Niki manages to synchronize herself to counteract Kat's slowdown spell.
She decides to bring Kim, Nak, and Fannie up to proper speed.
She raises a hand, pointing upwards, and then wooshes her arms in the direction of the party members. A red wave hits them and they can now move at a speed faster than their very slow surroundings.
"Guys, we gotta think of something. I didn't expect to see an actual temporic god tier here! Also, we should get seth out of that pile over there, and try to get Elsey out of their grasp. Who wants to which thing? ➜"
She seems to be planning off-the-cuff at the moment. Somebody's got to do something about the situation.

Nak just stares at the unfolding carnage for a moment, not totally understanding what's going on.
After spending a few seconds deliberating back and forth between the slumped seth and restrained hostage, he voids out and begins a casual waddle towards Elsey.

Kat does not move from her spot, but now she assumes a position that seems a little like she's praying. Her eyes are closed.
A spellcircle immediately appears on her feet, giving her a pale light aura. A spell to lessen the damage her foe may deal for a time. She just hopes that she has enough time to settle this before everything goes bad.
"I don't want to fight...I didn't want to hurt anyone...I don't really know what happened in the past, but I refuse to leave Elsey behind..! So please..."
Tears start to fall.
"What do I have to do to prove it to you...?"

Meanwhile, Niki is busy on her phone. She was not expecting something that big happening over there with the lost pawns.

bqW0o4Nb1-6
(Results to be elaborated upon shortly)
(Diceroll result: 5/6)
The pendulum connects and slams straight into Kat's body. Despite the protection spell, it only seems to mitigate a small amount of the damage. The force of the blow is likely hard enough to knock her over, and perhaps even break a bone or two. It will probably hurt quite a bit.
The maid opens her eyes to see the results of her strike.
It actually hit, and quite well. It seems it really is her destiny to fight the heartbreaker, no matter how benign she may appear before her. She can't let it fool her...
"...your lies cannot prove anything! You are a traitorous weasel and cannot be trusted!"
She picks up the pendulum once again and prepares to strike once more. It seems somewhat heavy for her, but she succeeds in lifting it back up.
The red vortex behind her is still in the same place, and still quite stable.
Meanwhile, the guards next to Elsey are completely oblivious to Nak, and do nothing. 1-6

Kat topples over, a loud cry comes out of her as she falls to the solid ground below.
Slowly, she tries to get up, but her strength fails her.
She regrets putting off her daily exercise routine for making her this weak.
Again she tries to get up, but could only muster enough energy to kneel.
Still, she does not attempt to attack.
The tears sting her eyes, and her voice is weaker than before.
"Please..."
Elsey, despite being unable to get on the speed of the others, notices that there are temporal shenanigans abound.
You can see this from the fact that her expression very slowly changes from mild concern to slight fear.
