Yui, once more seeing the opportunity to end the fight here, strums her Final Crescendo,
boosting everyone's power once more!
[Now Playing: Yui Override ~God Mode~]For a brief moment, you feel invincible, the final blow about to be landed on the enemy, victory on the horizon.
But only a brief moment. Several problems start dawning on you.
Two problems, to be exact.
One, three of you aren't even attacking.
Two, the last time you tried this, a giant biomechanical space whale threw you and everyone else around like a ragdoll before stomping on you and you specifically.
[Now Playing: Enhanced Zoanthrope Override ~Atal Ka Theme (Phase 3)~]The Zoanthrope reacts to your attempt to finish the fight off in kind, with a loud, sharp, piercing blast of wind, so loud that the glass of the surrounding buildings (not the hospital, which had been reinforced coinciding with the new building regulations introduced after the Musca Zoanthrope attack) shatters, and so forceful that Ragnar and Maki are blasted off of it, so loud that
everyone is staggered and visibly hurt by the blast. Ragnar manages to hang on to the wing, barely, thrusting his spear into it as he almost flies off, as Maki is sent flying off of it, crashing into the hospital roof, destroying an exhaust vent.
Ragnar tries to swerve the giant dragon-bat to the side, but the Zoanthrope isn't done. It blasts him directly on with a burst of intense, scorching heat, but Ragnar is able to endure it, the pain coursing through his body as he resists the heat. Trying to wrench people off, the Zoanthrope tries a desperate manoeuvre; the winds that protect it from projectiles suddenly heat up.
Ragnar barely has time to react.
The blast of scorching wind smashes into the whole group, finally throwing Ragnar off, his spear dropping with him as he tumbles onto the roof above the emergency room entrance, sliding off the roof into the ground, a wall of hot burning air smashing into the remainder of the group. You're not too badly hurt, you know you can take a blow, but you're not looking too good either. As for everyone else? You're not much better either.
Haruko, however, is not to be one-upped. And Amelie isn't done yet.
[Now Playing: Squad Override ~Rules of Nature~]The Zoanthrope attempts to continue flying, the jet engine on its back bursting into life as it attempts to evade the party when suddenly, a force begins tugging from it below. It notices this for a few seconds, trying to use its wing and angle its engine up to escape the increasing pull of gravity upon it and succeeding for another few seconds, the sheer strength within the Zoanthrope allowing it to resist Amelie's power.
Then the mother of all barrages hits it from below.
Haruko unleashes blast after blast of plasma into its already weakened underside, the powerful winds that it used to soak her and Kiyo's attacks having been used up to throw off its attackers now gone. This was what Haruko was best at, what she knew how to do; she was no good at hitting a fast opponent, but an opponent, hurt and wounded and pinned down? She didn't need to try to hit that. They were fish in a barrel, and Haruko was unleashing a nuclear missile.
The Zoanthrope shrieks, heavily wounded and unable to stay in flight as it plummets, clipping off a small part of the hospital roof as it smashes into the asphalt of the parking lot, sliding across the lot and smashing an unfortunate orderly's bike. Maki and Ragnar manage to scrabble to their feet, Maki standing over the roof of the hospital as she watches the Zoanthrope tumble towards the ground below....
As Amelie, Yui and Haruko arrive behind, they are suddenly beset upon by miniature blasts of scorching heat as the smaller bats begin to catch up. They are riddled with blasts of heat, each attack weak but the whole barrage strong, only for bursts of plasma to start erasing them as Kiyo floats behind, a flying fortress of death; despite the more powerful Zoanthrope's attacks having managed to hurt her, these weak swarms do nothing to her shell. The swarms turn their attention to her, their attention drawn towards her. Perhaps you should use this moment to start hitting the Zoanthrope.
Meanwhile, the crippled Zoanthrope pulls itself to its feet, beginning to try to flap its hurt wings to take off once more, the wounds Ragnar and Haruko having inflicted on it having managed to stop its escape, as it turns back towards the hospital, trying to fly towards the other end of the building.
