Now the bride responds voice quiet with hints of a strange cadence, it reminds you of the autumn wind and the rust king of leaves.
"<...The chapel is built above a dungeon.>"
"<Yes, it was a bit of a surprise for us too, but that's probably the source of the randomly encounters. Though for some reason only Ralph seems to trigger them.>"
Ralph... that would be the groom right.
"<Well... If you don't mind me asking... shouldn't you have noticed the bride catching fire before the day of the wedding?>"
"<I didn't catch your name>"
"<...Estefanía. I do not mind. This wedding was... a last minute thing.>"
"<Last minute?>"
"<Unfortunately so, it should have happened earlier but we were caught up in that ghastly affair back in Fairholdt.>"
"<The Lysander Affair? That was a year or so ago right?>"
"<Indeed, we are adventurers you see, and we were at ground zero when the invasion began, so naturally we were embroiled in the whole matter. Such things are never resolved so easily.>"
"<But you resolved it?>"
" <Of course.>"
He puffs his chest out proudly.
"<My my, I had no idea I was in the presence of such heroes.>"
" <Oh, you'll make me blush. But yes that threw the wedding plans right in the window. This was a serendipitous affair, there were already plans for a wedding here but the original parties had to cancel at the last moment and we just so happened to be passing by. It seemed as if fated at the time. Should've known fate never hands our types anything in neat packages.>"
"<Never a dull moment huh?>"
"<Heh, I suppose you not, but us lot are prone to boredom anyways.>"
"<What do you know about about the dungeon?>"
"<...It was an old fortress. Converted to an illegal weapons manufacturing facility. When the government found out, they sent adventurers to destroy it and clear out the dungeons. They flooded it with seawater to keep the equipments down there from reactivating. ...I think.>"
" <I suppose they missed a spot.>"

"<Oh like the Buddha right?>"
What?
"<So what you're saying is you -can- fight right?>"
Yeah sure just y'know, not well. And at the cost of your higher cognitive faculties.

[Now Playing: Kakusei]

Reality splits open as portals coalesce into existence, the violent buzz of an expulser round signifying Aurelius' launch out of a portal and straight towards Andreaz. The dragon's mouth slams shut at the kunai stick into the attorney.

Charges blow. An explosion, dust and debris.

Canan crosses the skirmish.

There's a second blast, a torpedo explosion. A piece of debris, a scale of rock shoots into the air, and as it is flips through reveals Andreaz braced against the other side.

Eyes burning crimson, a necrotic storm thundering above, he adjusts his grip on the kunai and lunges, kicking off the scale and rushing towards- When did it get so dark?

Yeah so uh, Yuki kinda just fucking ostriched them. Their upper bodies have been jammed into the pavement and they're having one hell of a time freeing themselves.

They're probably fine. The goddess was merciful enough to use the chainsaw's reverse edge after all.

Also she probably needs a new outfit. Her current one is kinda fucked. Like it does seem to be trying to cover as much as it can, but with what material it has that's really that much, given that it's been reduced to basically just leotard with a plunging neckline with a frankly vestigial microskirt attached.

If Minato was watching he'd find it pretty hard to avert his eyes from her assets as the flaring energy fades around them, excess heat venting away. By assets I mean thrusters. Energy-based thrusters sleek and angular that now back into their housings. Though the glow in her eyes doesn't fade, a glow that has a certain structured quality to it, almost as of emitted from a bank of tesselating cells than any singular source. Also her complexion seems kinda er... steely. Like, steel steely.

"Miss Leviathan, you have not answered my question. Have you not tried? Surely you must have, and yet it would seem to be a surprise to you. If you have tried, if you have not noticed, then surely you should be able to cite a success would you not? We can leverage that."

244
"My my, I can certainly see why there has been no armistice."
"Miss Leviathan, I repeat, have you not told an outsider before? Have you not tried to write down your side of the story?"

245
"Ah, that was, unexpected."
"Miss Leviathan, let me ask you - Have you ever spoken of this to another? Someone outside your owners ranks? Have you ever tried to publish your side of the story, you do not seem opposed to reason. Because this seems to be news to you."
"And while I am not a gambler, I would wager it may have something to do with her."
She nods towards Serena. Surely in the last few centuries she would have tried. Surely she would had noticed if it failed. In that case, there was something must have changed, some glaring shift in circumstances, and one awfully large one came to mind.

01's thrusters flare. Frontal on one side, rear on the other, spinning their body and slamming the charged blade into your throat, detonating as it does so. You set off the expulser, crashing to the ground, winded and dazed.

All of 01's remaining armor shifts to its front as it descends, thrusters readying to dodge any portal shenanigans as it just aims to just riddle you with gunfire, its gatling spinning up with a black vortex one last time as the storm in its head begins to die. You're pretty sure that armor's going to detonate like a claymore too.

You take to the skies dodging the beam as 04 crumbles to pieces.

Unit 04 has been destroyed.

You spin round and fire upon 01 but it first uses the gatling already burnt and smoking from the beam as a shield before detonating, using the blast as cover, it rides the shockwave to wrench the thrown sword from its resting place before dashing out of the explosion right for you. Next thing you know it's right in front of you, sword slashing for your throat, thrusters ready to reposition, and gatling waiting for the chance to strike.

You blow the expulser and open fie on 04 blasting away the plating from its right side with your sustained fire as gatling fire traces rigt behind you. You open a portal to catch the sword but 01 intercepts the blade with one of its bullets. There's a large explosion and you find yourself being thrown into a less controlled tumble. Unharmed but riding the shockwave. 04 grabs its comrade's sword and sweeps it one last time a sweeping beam moving parallel to the platform itself. 01 shifts one of its gatling, positioning it to block the oncoming beam as it continuies to close on in, gatling roaring.

You force 02 to disengage and put another burst into 03, bullets piercing the already-weakened plating and shattering its body. Its blade falls to the ground.

Unit 03 has been destroyed.

04's beam come out and you direct the incoming at the two gatling Storm Minds but they managed to dodge to the side, 01 giving you another burst of gatling fire for your troubles. Before it spins round and drives its fist through 02's chest, shattering it instantly.

Unit 02 has been destroyed.

The lightning in its head intensifies as it pick up its comrade's weapon and now dual-wielding turns to approach you, a series of short haphazard dashes bringing it closer and closer as it tries to throw off your aim while continuing to pepper you with gatling fire, a vortex of dark energy gathering at the fronts of its two gun as it uses its spin-up again. 04 charges its sword with energy and just fucking hurls it at you before swooping down to retrieve 03's sword.

You take a burst of gatling fire straight to the spine as you snap open your next portal. Staggering forwards you bring your exo-arm out to catch Unit 02 as it dashes past. It's straining against your control, trying to break free, trying to strike you. It's not enough. You don't have complete control, but you've got enough to force that miss, enough to force it through the portal as you hook your arm around and tear through it with as the ground explodes behind you. 01 dodges, moving to reposition and get an angle on you but you shift keeping 02 between it gun and you. You force 02 to hit 01 with a burst, plating flaking and buckling though your thrall quickly manages to spin its weapon upwards and off its ally as you give 03 a sustained burst, hammering through its frontal armor despite its best efforts to dodge. 04 doesn't even get to make its shot - too many friendlies in the area.

Continuing its motion 02 spin around and brings its weapon down at on an arc, trying to slam you with it. 01 dashes backwards trying to disengage and get a good angle while 03 and 04 ready to blast the area as soon as they can see a chance.

You open your portals, breaking the beam just enough that you're spared its explosive wrath, locking onto 02 as it dashes. Velocity is not a problem, so long as you can physically move your arm fast enough (which is typically the case at range) you can hit, it's acceleration that messes things up and in these dashes the acceleration is only at the start and end. You nail them with a round to the side, ablative plating scattering from its left arm. Your followup comes as its dash terminates, slamming a Manip round into the weakened plating.

01 has dashed behind you. It's not going to dash straight into a portal you just opened so it dashes behind you (formerly to your right but you've turned left to face 02). Its gatling screams with a distorted whir and the promise of coming violence. 02 is dashing towards you, aiming to pay you back for that strike.

03 sweeps its beam at you again and 04 is waiting in the wings to catch you if you falter.

With a few taps on her tablet the maid dials a number, bringing the receiver to her ear.
"Hi yes, is this the police? Help, I'm being attacked!"
For what words are exiting her lips her tone and expression remains remarkably deadpan.
"I'm in the colosseum! She says she's going to ████████ me. Help! Help! Help..."
She hangs up.
Marcia calls the cops.

"Now we get our intel, and plan for what has yet to transpire."
She nods towards Lucifer.

You are standing on one side of a Keijo platform. On the other side are four Storm Mind MkIIIs. Units 01 and 02 are armed with gatling guns. Units 03 and 04 are armed with silver greatswords.

Units 03 and 04 take to the skies, hovering upwards as their blades twirl faster and faster. 03 sweeps its beam across the platform aimed right for you, 04 sweeps its beam perpendicular. It's going to use the ensuing explosions to cover the approach.

Units 01 and 02 charge up their thrusters. Unit 01 is waiting to see how you react to the beam and going to dash across the platform in a burst of speed aiming to slam you with its weapon. Unit 02 doesn't wait and instead immediately launches itself into a flanking position.
