"Vengeance rains from the heavens!" Darkstorm yells as he unleashes as big a salvo of missiles he could at the minions, Heralds and Terrorcons. The rest went right for Nemesis. “Someone mind protecting Liege before he has Nightmare Nemesis tear him apart?” He asks on the comlink.
Seraphicon tries to intercept the blast with the Star Saber while heading for Rhisling.
The blade makes a sizable gash. Then the Maximus beast began to hack and cough. Suddenly, a flurry of fire and lightning shot from his jaws and on to Infurnicus. The sudden and violent action seemed to surprise him just as much as it would anyone else.
AU Ramjet’s minicons are temporarily taken out of commission, however AU Ramjet himself had fully reformed. Propelled by his jet mode’s thrusters, he rushes at Darkstorm, slashing his two swords and rasping a bone-chilling battle cry.
Nemesis dispels the barrage with the Dark Star Saber, however this does give Liege Maximo time to attack. He leaps at the False Prime and jams one of his darts into Nemesis’ neck. The false Prime growls and tears it off, slashing at Liege, who jumps back.
The beam meets the blade of the Star Saber, yet endures.
Infernocus is struck and staggers. Shaking his head to clear it, the brute roars moves to bash the Ultimate Maximus with his shield again.
The beast blocked the blow with his arm. If one were looking, the gash on his midsection was emitting a faint whitish blue glow, and was slowly healing itself. No doubt a contribution from Primal. He thrusted his other hand towards the brutish demon. A cold wind of ice flew from his fingertips, which would cause frost to form on Infurnicus’ body, and steadily grow into a solid shell of ice, if contact was maintained long enough.
The flames issuing from Infernocus’ body counteract this attack. The brute would soon be too hot for the Maximus gestalt to sustain physical contact with him for too long, without damaging his hand.
Infernocus moves to shove Maximus away, thrusting both his arms out in front of him.
The bestial gestalt backed away and shook his hand.
Axis then came running in to support her love, and the two other bots he was stuck to. She slashed the whip at the brute and fired the hyperflux cannon.
The whip and Hyperflux Cannon could not be accessed simultaneously.
The whip slaps against Infernocus’ armor, burning it and inflicting pain upon the gestalt. Infernocus howls and lobs an explosive ball of flame at Axis.
Ironclad continues to sprint for Rhisling, cutting apart the Terrorcons in his path. He transforms to beast mode to cover more ground.
Liege Maximo continues to evade Nemesis Prime’s attacks. Liege was weaker than his adversary, so the best he could do was dance around the false Prime, making the occasional strike with one of his darts. Nemesis had yet to yield, however, and hacks at the Prime of Lies with the Dark Star Saber.
Axis took the blast, hoping the armor would take most of the damage. She then tried to armor to whichever form has the cannon.
The Maximus gestalt then threw several more punches.
Seraphicon tries to keep his course for Rhisling while evading his attackers.
Darkstorm meets AU Ramjet’s attack with his own twin shortswords.
That it did.
That would be the third configuration.
Infernocus blocks some of the punches with his shield, though others connect.
The beam from Megabolt’s cannon continues to push against the blade of the Star Saber. Seraphicon might want to deal with that before he went anywhere.
AU Ramjet locks blades with Darkstorm, growling.
Liege Maximo whips around and uses the Matrix as a cudgel, whipping it across the side of Nemesis Prime’s head. The false Prime cries out and staggers, before regaining his composure and resuming his attacks.
Seraphicon lets the force of the blast put him into a backflip, trying to evade it and gain some speed via gravity towards Rhisling.
Darkstorm tries to sweep AU Ramjet’s feet out from under him and attack the Herald while it was down.
A set of beaten-up Talismanic Armor flies from Darkstorm carrying The Forge, heading straight for Liege.
Megabolt transforms to jet mode and rockets toward Seraphicon, unleashing a volley of missiles at the Angelicon.
Ironclad takes to the air and flies toward Rhisling, ahead of Seraphicon.
AU Ramjet is swept off his feet, but quickly takes to the air, hovering above Darkstorm as he fires his cannons and sends out a few missiles, for good measure.
Liege Maximo was busy fighting Nemesis, and so the Forge collides with the Prime of Lies and sends him sprawling. Nemesis Prime dashes forward and tries to take advantage of this opening, however Liege Maximo tosses a dart that sinks into the false Prime’s hip, causing him to falter in his charge.
“Sorry about that.” Said the armor, it had a gentle red glow to it, signaling this must’ve been the AU Firestorm that was with Darkstorm.
AU Firestorm forces Liege to take the Forge, “Do it for her, for your family.” He said before teleporting back to Darkstorm.
Seraphicon sees Megabolt take flight after him and focuses, sending a 'sword beam at the missiles.
Darkstorm feels his Firestorm return to him and takes flight after AU Ramjet and engaged him.
Liege Maximo grips the Forge and charges at Nemesis.
The arc intercepts the missiles, however Megabolt continues to give chase and fire upon Seraphicon.
AU Ramjet grins and fires his shoulder cannons at Darkstorm.
Darkstorm rolls out of the way and responds by blasting him with his own cannon.
Seraphicon calls upon the Scythe to become a shield for him as he tries to get to Rhisling.
The shot blows a hole in AU Ramjet’s midsection. He doubles over, clutching the wound.
The shield protects Seraphicon as Megabolt increases his speed.
Ironclad leaps into the air, transforming to robot mode and reaching out to grab Rhisling. Several other versions of Ironclad appear, all grasping for the sword. Simultaneously they wrap their hands around the hilt, and there is a flash of green light that engulfs the scene.
@ValkyriePrimal @meepinater @Toa_Vladin @MichaelTheLightBringer @ToaNoah_Wafflemeister @BlackBeltGamer98 All the alternate versions of our heroes vanish, and any other oddities caused by the unstable nexus are undone as the convergence point re-stabilizes. The city around our heroes reforms, and the surge of cosmic energies pushes the Blade of Time to its’ very limits. A multitude of jagged cracks form on the sword.
The people of Aevum are at first dazed as they regain consciousness, but quickly scatter, panicked, as they notice the ongoing battle.
“Adios, amigos!” Darkstorm called as he vanished back to his home timeline.
AU Seraphicon suddenly vanished back to his home.
Seraphicon turns and meets Megabolt head-on, brandishing the Star Saber.
OOC: TOTGA Firestorm is still standing by to act as reinforcement if needed. Also, Noah, the baby Spinosaurs saying goodbye was adorable!!! I’m gonna miss those little buggers.
Hauler explodes, leaving no scrap on the ground.
Tax, Rotary, and Crate wave as they disappear.
Coalburn is restored, as his fifteen children crow goodbye.
Zip wipes underneath his eyes.
“Zipline, you can’t cry,” Cargo reminds his brother.
“Yeah, but it just feels right.”
Megabolt flies around Seraphicon and fires his main cannon.
The Excalibur crashes within a spaceport. All aboard would survive, though the ship sustains severe damage to its’ engines.
Liege Maximo and Nemesis Prime had been relocated to a rooftop nearby. The false Prime overwhelms the Prime of Lies with an unrelenting flurry of strikes from the Dark Star Saber, pushing him back. Liege Maximo swings a desperate strike with the Forge, however Nemesis catches the shaft and rips the hammer from Liege’s grasp, tossing down to the street below. Maximo gives a terrified cry as Nemesis Prime utters a bestial roar, swinging the Dark Star Saber in a powerful slash that tears into Liege’s chest and midsection…
…And splits the Matrix of Leadership in two.
A deafening sound, like a cross between the shattering of glass and the clap of thunder, booms across the city, as the blade of the Dark Star Saber cuts through the shell of the Matrix and slices into the crystal core, causing it to explosively shatter into thousands of tiny shards. The light within them fades as the two halves of the shell turn an ugly, charred black, clattering onto the roof each with a heavy thud.
The NPCs in the city look up at the sight in horror, some crying out and screaming in both despair and rage.
Nemesis Prime roars in triumph as the violet light within the Dead Matrix intensifies, its’ full power now unfettered by its’ counterpart. The broken body of the false Prime sinks to its’ knees as the effects of its’ wound begin to take their toll. In a flash, Ramjet warps him, Infernocus, and Megabolt away, out of the reach of our heroes.
Seraphicon got hit and when he got up he saw the Matrix be destroyed. He looked like his whole world was destroyed before his eyes. He just knelt there, trying to stabilize his emotions.
Dark felt the Dead Matrix activate via a tremor in his Dark Spark, “He has awoken.” He said, pure dread in his tone.
Seraphicon realized Liege had the Matrix and rushes to his side, grabbing the Forge en route. “Liege!” He yells, hoping he was still alive.
