As the monsters crouched low, attempting to dodge or weather the impact, one stood tall among them. Halcitrox reared up on his hind legs, arms spread wide, his jaw set in concentration. He had never attempted what he was about to do, but his will was strong, as a rapidly expanding disc of shadowy energy formed before him. Halcitrox's Shadow Shield continued to expand as the gigantic boulders slammed into it, crashing down hard and scattering fragments across the area. But the shield held before finally dissipating, revealing the assembled kaiju unscathed, save for the trickle of blood running from Halcitrox's nostrils. The concentration required to hold the shield against that kind of assault had been...taxing. Still, it wasn't something that Halcitrox wouldn't live through.
"Insolent worm!" Orsa-geddon bellowed as he prepared to crush Halcitrox with a swat of his mighty hand. But the black dragon would have none of that, as a sphere of Shadow Energy formed between his claws before being launched at the abomination and catching him directly in the maw and detonating inside the beast, bolts of black lightning perforating him from the inside. Orsa bellowed in agony as Halcitrox launched himself at his foe, black power coating his talons as they rent Orsa's flesh like tissue paper. The mammoth horror was not deterred though, as he swatted Halcitrox aside, sending the dragon careening over the edge into the void below. The other heroes watched in horror as their ally seemed to vanish into the abyss below. Orsa just laughed maniacally, the sound reverberating in the void.
But something was happening, as the ground began to quake around them. Even Orsa seemed confused, especially since he wasn't the cause of it. The answer as to who, or what, was behind this was quickly made apparent, as a shadowy form, like a cut-out on the fabric of reality itself, emerged from the void on gigantic wings. A huge shadow dragon, bigger than the other kaiju, yet still smaller than Orsa, bellowed at the abomination as h it unleashed a jet of black flame, searing Orsa's flesh and leaving a trail of devastation writ in flesh.
"What the hell?' was all Toxic could manage, but Pavoroc could see. His keen avian eyesight showed him that, beneath the layer of blackness, Halcitrox still lived, puppeting the shadow dragon from within.
"He is on our side."
Halcitrox bellowed again as he spread his shadow wings wide, ready to pelt Orsa with more lightning....
((OOC: This is a new ability that will be expanded upon post battle. All it does right now is offer Halcitrox some extra protection.))

The massive shadow dragon and Orsa stared right at each other, their eyes locked upon one another. No one else moved. Within one was the eater of gods, Armageddon, controlling the new monstrous form he was within. Witht he other, was Halcitrox, using the shadowy dragon as a way of getting on even ground with the titan. With his wings beating, Halcitrox unleashed a flurry of lightning bolts toward Orsa, who, snarling in rage, folded his own wings infront of him to guard himself from the assault. Sure enough, the lightning barrage merely fizzled against his wings, doing barely anything but minor pain.
Atleast, that was until one bolt, different from the others, flew in from the side and impacted Orsa's shoulder, right through the would created by Crigan and out just above the other hip. eldricht blood spilled out as Orsa found himself slumping from the blow, his wings uncurling as he tried to righten himself. "NOW! FIRE AT HIM!" Mara shouted as she materlialized from the lightning bolt, covered in Orsa's blood. Halcitonix wasted no time, as more lightning rained down upon Orsa. This time, the beast had no way of protecting itself, and let out a pained, gargled roar as the titan felt that electricity surging into the depths of his body. Skin popped and boiled, blood vessels ruptured and exploded, and blood began to drool out of Orsa's mouth.
"Now, aid the dragon in his assault! GO GO GO!" The voice in Mara's head screamed out to her. Following it, the lightning kitsune twisted around, several orbs of energy flowing through her tails were launched upward at the towering monster. The orbs crashed into Orsa's wound, delaying the regeneration of it while also sending bits and pieces of flesh flying from it.
However, this brought Orsa's fury and rage directly onto her. The titan, roaring at the top of its lungs, let loose a primed fireball right at Halcitrox, sending the dragon and the shadow he was in flying onto his back, before twisting to deal with the fox. Mara leapt back just in time to avoid another fireball, but then, to her horror, Orsa seemed to move at a speed that seemed unreal for his size. Moving faster than Mara could react, the giant swatted her to the side like a ragdoll with a fist, before bringing his tail down on the airborn fox, smashing her right into the ground with a sickening thud. "Have you forgotten, pup? This is MY world we're in, and I have all the control I want here!" Armageddon's voice rang from all around as Orsa seemed to chuckle. . As the tail lifted off, Mara's form lay there in the crater formed, blood dripping from her maw and bones shattered from the hit. It hurt way too much for her to move. How had she let him get the better of her?
"Come on! Get up! Please... get up. Mother, get up!" The voice in Mara's head began to scream as Orsa, eyes narrowing on the crippled fox, began to charge up another fireball, this one aimed right at the immobile target...

(Sorry. I was supposed to post two days ago, but I was locked out of Internet due to my derpy connection. Here comes lazy post...)
An invisible force wrapped around the fireball, and it was sent flying faster than a bullet into Orsa's face, the flames licking and charring his flesh. To add to the pain, a scorching white ray washed over his back. "Not bad... but it won't save you." the abomination simply said, as Orsa grabbed Michiru and began to crush her in his grasp. Her metallic bones cracked and smaller ones even broke, before she was left falling to the ground like a ragdoll. In retaliation, she shot her twin spears, the two stabbing at the top of his shoulders. Though she was hurt, she was still not out - panting, she flapped her wings and flew overhead, folding her wings so that the feathers could carve deep gouges into Orsa' body...

The razor feathers sliced through Orsa's tough flesh, although it was not easy by any means. A knife can only injure a bear to a point. Mich nearly fell out of the air as she slowed, her feathers lingering in Orsa's body as they sawed though the tough skin and tissue. The abomination bellowed in rage as he felt his meat part, and he swatted furiously in the direction of the dull pain. The wild swing missed Michiru. The wind from the massive movement of air actually caught in her winds like afterburners and propelled her forward, tearing Orsa's hide wide open. The deep furrows began healing instantly, but a yellow-orange blast of gaseous fury tore them back open and charred even deeper, biting far into the mountainous beast. Mich glanced up. High overhead both the brute and the bird, Sid was hanging in the air, supported by a column of fiery energy trailing from his mouth. The little giant had launched himself off one of the floating islands that surrounding the platform to get an aerial advantage. He flashed a merry thumbs up to Mich. She merely rolled her eyes.
Carried by both the girth of his adrenaline-charged Nova Beam and the volume of Orsa's angry screams, Sid soared through the air until he collided with another floating island. The small monster that was once human snapped his jaws shut and dug his claws into the rocky air isle, clinging to it. Orsa, flames and blood rolling off his back in a vaporous mix of smoke and crimson mist, turned his great head towards the GAAF brawler and howled. The tremendous roar shook the nightmarish dimension like a shelf of particularly delicate china. Many of the floating isles, including the one that supported Sid, were shaken completely apart. Sid whooped fearfully as he began to plunge into the black void that swirled below. Orsa, stacking the threat against the tiny goliath, hurled the remains of the shattered islands at Sid. The hybrid, using a combination of his paddle tail and quick bursts of energy from his jaws, avoid most of the earthen bullets by cartwheeling through the air like an acrobat, although one caught him in the shoulder and sent him spinning in the center of a broad ring of blood.
The brawler yelped in pain, but also grinned a bit, because he had just gotten an idea.
The final island shard- a broad, flattened disc shaped by the dark folds of Orsa's mind for maximum speed through the air- closed in on the former-human like an Olympic discus, but instead of clobbering him, it was snatched into readied claws. Sid had caught it and was now whipped through the air by the weight of the spinning missile, hanging from it like a tail as it twirling lopsidedly.
Waiting for just the right moment and a passing feeling of luck, Sid released his wild carriage, and the rocky disc was sent hurtling at Orsa's head and as Sid himself tumbled onto the remains of the island that had been deflected off his body. Stabilizing himself on the scrap of solid earth he had landed on, Sid turned just in time to see Orsa flinch back as the disc broke apart against his face, caving in the dense flesh and bone some as it scattered like a shotgun burst. Deciding to follow the titan's lead and up the ante, Sid faced his back to the giant among giants, loosed a Nova beam, and turned his boat in the abyss into a projectile.
As Orsa shook off the pain, Armageddon's voice rolling from his slack jaws as a angry growl, he looked up only to receive a secondary shot between the eyes. The dent made by the first earthy round was carved deeper and Sid leapt off of the missile only a microsecond before impact so that he landed sprawled across the dimension-eater's forehead. Giving his fur a quick shake to rid it of dust and debris, the little giant slammed his feet and tail against Orsa's skull, launching himself into a flip that aimed to bring his extended feet into the dip between Orsa's eyes like a small, fleshy hammer to a weakened board...
[Hold on, I fucked up here. Orsa shoulda' gone before me. Shit. Sorry, Dan.]

Orsa's hellish gaze widened with surprise as the tiniest of the grouped slammed full force into the dip in between the hulking abomination's golden eyes. The behemoth of muscle and power snarled angrily, the voice of Armageddon audibly grunting in pain from the impact. Eldritch blood dripped down from the impact zone, running into one of the massive yellow eyes and down the abomination's face. As Sid leaped into the air, using Orsa's head like a springboard, the hulking behemoth lashed out with a sudden powerful arm strike. However, Sid narrowly managed to outpace the beast, and escaped the reach of the strike. As Orsa prepared to pursue, he was suddenly pelted from all sides and above. Behemoth rushed him head-on, and shoulder rammed him, causing Orsa to actually slide back from the impact, as his body was blasted from afar by the others.
But suddenly, the beast's rage boiled over.
"ENOUGH!" Armageddon's voice boomed with the force of a thousand nuclear explosions, splitting apart the floating masses nearby and sending the heroes flying backwards. Many of them plummeted off of the platforms, only spared from a fate worse than death by the quick thinking of their allies. Upon a small platform floating amongst the now shattered pieces of the formerly large landmass the heroes stood upon was Orsa. The beast's wounds soon began to heal, before his hellish glanced back up towards his foes. His jaws flexed, before Armageddon voice burst forth once more.
"This is MY realm! Your feeble efforts are no match for my infinite power here!"
The dimension began to warp and distort, before Orsa reared up onto his hind legs and Armageddon's voice bellowed, "NOW DIE!"
The dimension contorted briefly, as suddenly, the heroes found themselves assaulted from within by an unknown force. Their minds began to split and become distorted, their brains overwhelmed by some eldritch power. Many were able to fight through the pain however, and attempted to attack the brute from afar. Among the first of these was Captain Toxic, who attempted to close in for a toxinium beam. However, before the attack could be unleashed, his arm exploded with his own power... or so it seemed to. Behemoth, fighting through the beast's assault, attempted to slam one of the islands down on top of him, but Orsa proved to be clever; suddenly, 6 different Oras appeared all around Behemoth, and, while the earth beast attempted to decipher which was the real one, was struck from the side by an invisible force that cracked his shoulder, sending him flying off of his platform into the void. However, Mich managed to overcome her torment, albeit briefly, and managed to catch the wounded Behemoth before he was lost, crashing to the nearest platform in utter agony.
Halcitrox, alongside the somehow equally unaffected Shinryu, noted something odd; those whom fought through the pain seemed to be affected by some invisible force. Not only that, but Orsa seemed to have completely disappeared as soon as the assault was carried out. Their curiosity was soon overcome with fear, however, as they glanced up and saw a massive meteor spiraling down from the sky towards the location where the majority of the heroes were located. The two dragons pelted the meteor with all they could, but were suddenly struck from the side by a powerful force, sending them rocketing sideways. The shadowy flames that engulfed Halcitrox form like a suit of armor were nearly dispelled, and Shinryu was nearly sent crashing into a nearby island, as they saw the hulking form of Orsa hurtling towards them like a meteorite. Acting fast, the two dodged on opposite directions, narrowly avoiding a crushing blow by the beast's forelimbs.
"It's you against us, abomination," Halcitrox said from within his shadow shrouded form. Armageddon simply laughed.
"You think yourselves heroes?" Armageddon's voice hissed. "You think you can save your pathetic friends?"
"We do not think, foul brute; we know," Shinryu replied. "Your reign of terror is over!"
"We shall see about that," Armageddon chuckled from within Orsa's form.
"Shinryu, I'll hold him off," Halcitrox shouted. "Try and find a way to stop that meteor!"
Shinryu nodded in reply, before the two clashed above the recovering heroes...

(OOC: Sorry for any broken rules, character misinterpretation or other shoddiness...had even less time than usual to bang this one out, and I really didn't want to ask for extra days again.)
---
The meteor was enormous...even at full strength, much less weakened as it was now, Shinryu doubted that it could forcibly divert a projectile of such size and energy. And even if it could be redirected through riftways, what was to stop Orsa from simply summoning another? Several, even?
Below, the other heroes continued to struggle against the eldritch energy that now attacked their very minds, causing them to see things that existed not and feel pain and injuries not truly being inflicted. It was unlikely now that they could even see the death looming above them, much less make any move to escape or fend it off...
Searching quickly around, Shinryu saw another "island" hovering above and slightly aside the one Orsa and Halcitrox now held, almost but not quite as large as the one toward which the fiend's meteor was now bound. Perfect; the serpent first focused and spread wide a portal above the higher ground, then flew down to the platform held by Sid and the others and forged an equally wide riftway beneath their feet, sending each of them in turn falling from the ledge below to the one above, out of harm's way. This done, Shinryu closed both portals and took toward the higher ground itself...noting grimly that the dark-matter phantom of Halcitrox was being held at bay by Orsa's tentacles, hunting blindly but eagerly through the morass to seize the dragon inside; and forced to dodge for dear life as he was, Halcitrox could not offer a counterattack.
The monstrosity saw Shinryu flying to the ledge above, leaving the meteor to continue falling, and laughed. "Realized you couldn't save them, fallen god?" mocked the voice of the demon once known as Armageddon, now echoing with the dreadful timbre of Orsa's bestial growl.
(Shinryu--what are you doing!?) Halcitrox exclaimed telepathically to Shinryu as he too saw the cosmic projectile drawing alarmingly close to the platform below.
(Fear not; the others are safe,) the serpent replied. (Keep the beast at bay a moment longer...)
The dark dragon snarled aloud as a tendril lashed within less than a meter of his face. At his will, the shadow specter backslid along the ground away from Orsa, enshrouding itself in arcing bolts of black lightning to discourage the tentacles' pursuit.
"Heh!" Armageddon snorted. "Can your bolts withstand this?" The fiend then planted all four of its paws fast to the ground, muscles flexing and tensing...and a blood-chilling white glow began to swell within its maw. The ground on which they stood trembled; loose earth and stones rattled and then began to literally float up from the ground in turn with Orsa's rising power...Halcitrox unconsciously slid further back, belatedly realizing that both his phantom and he were trembling as he stood his ground, hoping against hope that the moment Shinryu needed was almost up...
All of a sudden, multiple riftways - well over a dozen - opened in succession to surround the abomination's limbs and body. Orsa froze for a second as it registered what was happening and started to move...but that second was all that was needed. A powerful roar sounded from on high--and at that instant, multiple enormous, sharp-edged and hollow-ended spikes of stone thrust from the multitude of riftways at once, jamming deep into the beast's limbs and flanks.
And this was only the beginning: powerful winds began again to swirl and slice all around the monster, not only lacerating its flesh but forcing it to twist and contort quite uncomfortably as the portals - and the stone spears emerging from them - moved and shifted in turn with the intense gales. And then, searing blasts of heat exploded at once into each of Orsa's wounds as a concentrated Flare was delivered through the hollows of the spikes--joining as well with the Maelstrom's winds as excess heat and flames vented from holes and cracks in the spikes.
Unfortunately, as the winds gathered and billowed the flames, this served to hide Orsa's tail from easy sight...and as Shinryu moved aside of the riftway through which it had delivered the stone-spear strike in order to target the beast with its Lightning magic, it failed to see the Pseudo Big Bang being mustered until it was too late; the hellish blast of crimson energy tore through the flame-laced winds and struck square, sending the serpent flopping and skidding back across the ledge. The stone spikes, the riftways through which they struck, the winds and the flames all faded to nothingness with their wielder's focus broken, and Orsa was now free to retaliate.
Near where Shinryu now lay, burned and bleeding and spent of strength, the remaining heroes continued to fight against the abomination's psychic influence...still striking at false illusions of their enemy, still suffering from false pain and wounds...
Behemoth hesitated for an instant as he faced down the image of Orsa, no longer certain of whether or not it was real, but decided not to simply stand there and allow the monster to strike him down, as he charged with a furious roar--
--only for the image of Orsa to fade, revealing a flinching Captain Toxic in its place. The Captain himself then looked at his arm and realized that it now appeared fine despite looking like it had exploded moments before. What was going on...?
(Hear me, everyone...) The heroes turned toward Shinryu, struggling simply to raise its head to meet them. (I am shielding your minds from Orsa's energy...I fear there is little else I can do to help you now. The fiend stands below with Halcitrox; hurry to his aid!)

The rocky beast glared down at Orsa on the platform far below, already regenerating from Shinryu’s assault. The abominations tendrils were ripping themselves from his body in innumerable numbers, their fanged maws snapping and snarling at Halcitrox. Behemoth huffed as he watched the scene unfold, his body steaming with volcanic smoke. This wasn’t possible. How could this overgrown beast outclass a god? How could Orsa throw him around and blast away his armor with such ease? How could it manipulate such forces in this damned realm? He would never admit it to himself, but deep down, he knew. He was hopelessly outclassed.
Now Behemoth was enraged.
All sense of self preservation destroyed, Behemoth’s crystalline spines cracked and sparked with tremendous energy, before settling into a steady, blinding glow of green light. The thick crystals encrusting his fists glowed with equal measure, cracking the ground beneath them. With a final battle cry that shook the foundations of the numerous floating islands, the infamous titan leaped right off the edge of the platform.
A booming roar echoed across the void as Behemoth began a rapid decent, both arms stretched out over his head. He was little more than a glowing comet of destruction, shooting down at blurring speeds. Orsa’s only warning was an animalistic roar of pure rage and a sudden flash of green light. The beast glanced up… only to have his head smashed into the ground. Twin broad crystal spikes pierced Orsa’s thick skull as Behemoth slammed into the monster’s head, and within that instant all the anger, all the hatred, all the pure energy he had built up was released into the blow.
An enormous blast of green energy engulfed the abomination’s head, and Behemoth was instantly thrown away by his own attack. Orsa’s flesh was torn asunder by the incredible blast. Chunks of meat and blood splattered the platform. The beats of the apocalypse slumped to the ground, stunned by the attack.
Struggling to stand, Behemoth growled as the smoke cleared. A large cavity had been blown into Orsa’s skull. Bloody strips of flesh hung from his head like cobwebs, white bone was clearly visible and exposed, riddled with cracks from the blow. Taking opportunity of this brief moment of peace, Behemoth limped his way over to Halcitrox.
“Regroup with the others,” he grunted, still reeling from the fall. “Take a moment to regain your strength, and keep our allies safe. I see now that we require our combined power to stop this worm.” The dragon seemed hesitant to leave, opening his mouth to protest. “Now!” Behemoth thundered before he could speak. He quickly glanced back to Orsa, who was already stirring, his vengeful eyes locked on the two heroes. “You can’t keep this up forever, Halcitrox. I will hold the worm off for now.”
Eldritch arms slammed into the ground as Orsa hoisted himself up. Behemoth turned to face his opponent as Halcitrox took off, his shadowy form rising to the higher island to join his allies. A roar escaped Behemoth as he charged the eldritch abomination. A massive fist swung out, connecting against Orsa’s right jaw and blowing a small section of flesh in the ensuing explosion. Unfazed, Orsa swung right back. Behemoth howled as he bounced across the cracked ground. Acting quickly, he planted his spiked fists into the earth before he could skid off the edge. Orsa was already on the offensive, a crimson beam of destruction erupting from his tail. A wall of stone burst from the ground before him, shielding the ancient deity from the brunt of the hellish attack, though a few spare bolts managed to pass through and blast apart sections of his armor. Focusing his elemental powers on the islands around him, Behemoth commanded the rocks to descend upon the apocalyptic nightmare. Each and every stone under his control suddenly broke apart into pebbles, forming a swarm of flying minerals not unlike a hive of angry insects. Within moments, the pebbles blanketed Orsa’s mighty wings, obscuring them in millions of tiny rocks. And with one last, mental command, Behemoth delivered the final move. The pebbles melted into droplets of magma, before quickly hardening again in less than a second, but the effect had taken its toll.
The wings of the gigantic beast were completely covered in rock, every single pebble having melted and reformed into one gigantic slab per wing. The beast roared in fury, trying desperately to move its wings, feeling the crushing weight ever so slowly take its toll upon his flesh and muscles. Behemoth responded with a cruel smile, and with it, a deep fissure cut through he platform around Orsa, spider webbing into tiny cracks. That was all that was needed for the section of the platform to give way under 500 000+ tons of furious monster. Roaring and screaming, Orsa plummeted down into the void, his wings still held immobile.
Behemoth doubted he had killed or even crippled Orsa. This was his domain, and the monster was sure to return. But hopefully he had given his allies extra time to regroup and prepare for the next round…

(OOC: My REAL post.)
Captain Toxic looked around as his fellow warriors battled the legendary evil that was this overpowered, mutated Armageddon. The hero’s mask, broken and cracked, allowed a glimpse of his hidden eyes which were frozen in a narrow gaze. He had been spared too much damage to this war. Now was the time to strike. To bring about the full fury that was his own galaxy. Lifting his arms, clouds of purple and black smoke coiled around his limbs like angry anacondas. He leaped up, spinning in the air as the ravenous roars of Orsa sounded.
He watched on as Orsa fought to regain the use of his wings and flew up from the abyss, colliding with the dragon in a mid-air battle. After swatting Shinryu aside effortlessly, the abomination spotted the superhero. His arms were crossed, a burning blaze growing in the center…
The demon laughed. “You think your pathetic attack can hurt me!?” The beast leaned up, powerful arms grabbing at his sides as he busted into laughter.
The hero didn’t move, only focused the polluted energies coursing through his body. “You talk way too damn much.” He muttered to himself…
Pavoroc’s voice boomed. “Do it!” The avian ordered, “FIRE!”
Orsa’s thunderous laughter was silenced instantly. From Venturimon’s crossed arms, a Toxinium Beam unlike that of any other. Every ounce of his energy had been summoned into it. The blast shot the hero back dozens of meters, head over heels, as the assault flew at Orsa. It was as wide and thick as the demon’s gapping maw, virtually splitting his jaws. The abomination’s entire body struck the ground, engulfed in black smoke, before the sheer impact bounced him into the air. He landed with a thud, skull completely masked by a mound of sizzling, toxic muck.
The shockwaves that followed the colossal strike were enough to send some of his fellow warriors to the ground, but they’d survive. They’d have to.
Captain Toxic, however, began to fall to the ruined ground. The jewel on his chest flashing black and yellow colors rapidly, he crashed with a hard thud. For a brief moment, Orsa was stunned as the thick blanket of muck covered his front torso and filled his mouth, stomach, and lungs. Clouds of smoke drifted from the hero’s mask, but he was unable to move…
Pavoroc flew close to the fallen superhero, wings flapping with grace as he landed next to him. The humanoid giant nodded his head, “It’s been…” he coughed and gagged, “Fun.”
The avian patted the warrior’s chest with his wing. “We shall have more.”
Captain Toxic chuckled as his body began to transform, turning into muck and sludge. Pavoroc stood tall, wings folding as he stepped away…

Orsa was shocked. Such power... he had not expected it from the toxic one! The beast's body twisted and turned, rolling itself back onto its feet. But something unexpected happened. As the beast attempted to take a step forward, he suddenly collapsed, sludge falling out of his maw and off his body. The beast buckled! It was a sight the heroes had not seen the entire battle- Orsa was showing signs of weakness! Their assaults were taking their toll on the behemoth of power and destruction!
Even Orsa was shocked. Was his strength... failing? Even in his own realm he was hurting... how was this possible? He was god here! None could harm him! But it was so- the beast's regeneration was slowing, and his hideous body seemed to have lost much of its former power and ferocity.
"No...." The voice of Armageddon muttered. "I cannot die... I WILL NOT DIE!"
A scream rippled out with the force of a thousand nuclear bombs, causing the heroes to flinch before the power of the raging abomination. With unimaginable fury, Orsa's limbs became engulfed in blackened energy, as he sent a blast of acidic shadow magic towards the heroes, quickly, they scrambled, and pressed their advantage, those who flew using the skies to pelt their opponent with ranged attacks. However, Orsa anticipated such a move, and from all around them, voids opened up. From the deepest abyss, reaching across the void, came shadowy tendrils, slicing through the void like blades of darkness. As the avian heroes flew by, the tendrils lashed out like whips.
Shinryu was one of the unfortunates to get struck by the powerful tendrils. With surprising power, the tendril struck him, lacerating his side, causing blood to drip from the wound as he fell down to the platform Orsa stood upon. As Orsa's maw filled with eldritch flame to blast him, he was suddenly shocked with incredible voltage from the side, stunning him and protecting Shinryu form further punishment. Enraged at this, Orsa whirled around, reared up like a raging Elephant, and prepared to crush Mara beneath his bulk, only for Sid to grapple him around his neck and blasting off of him with a point blank nove beam.
Orsa howled in pain as a massive chunk of his neck was torn clean out of his body, followed shortly afterward by powerful lighting strikes and fire from Halcitrox.
"Fools... fools, ALL OF YOU!" Armageddon's voice boomed. "I shall put you in your place!"
Consumed with utter rage, Orsa unleashed a powerful radial explosion, completely obliterating the platform he stood on, sending those that were on it plummeting downwards into the void. With uncontrollable fury gripping him, Orsa, shrouded in eldritch energy, rushed the avian heroes, attempting to block their attempts to save their allies...

Fortunately for the heroes, the ratio of flyers to non-flyers is in their favor, with only Behemoth and Sid really needing assistance. Mich catches the former, using her telekinesis to help carry the hefty beast, while Pavoroc dives after the latter. Shinryu and Hacitrox keep Orsa distracted, and Mara uses her lightning form to bolt to safety.
Placing Sid on a decently sized chunk of floating rubble, Pavoroc narrows his eyes at Orsa off in the distance. The image of Captain Toxic’s apparent demise flashes through his mind.
This has ceased to be a game.
“Stay here.” says the guardian flatly as he rushes off in the direction of the others.
Sid looks around and begins tapping away at his keyboard. “Tch. As if I can really go anywhere.” he retorts mostly to himself, since Pavoroc is well out of earshot by now, before crossing his arms and plopping down on the rock with a frustrated huff.
As Orsa battles with Halcitrox, Shinryu, and Mich, a Rainbow beam slams into one of the beast’s wings, blasting a hole through it and making him lose control and fall down into the abyss.
“The time has come to end this, fellow warriors.” says Pavoroc coolly as he joins the group.
“We’ve been trying to do that this whole time! He’s only just now showing signs of weakening!” replies Mich.
“Come.”
He begins to ascend, the other three monsters quickly falling into formation with him.
“I do have one final trick up my sleeve. Normally the UCA seals off that part of my power, but within this space we’re no longer under their influence. Or maybe they’re just letting us think that. I don’t know at this point, and it doesn’t matter anyway. What matters is I might be able to end this.”
“Okay, so let’s do it.”
The group splits apart to avoid a Pseudo Big Bang before regrouping.
“It’s not quite that simple. I’m going to need some time to gather the energy. And on top of that... I may not survive it. The first and only time I ever used it, I only lived because my brother Ophion was there to heal me on the spot. I should have a bit more control over it now, but I can’t guarantee anything.”
They’re forced to scatter again, this time to escape a tentacle-spewing portal that opens in front of them. More fireballs, Pseudo Big Bangs, and portals quickly follow as Orsa tries to close in on the flyers, but despite that the four monsters fall into formation again and continue to avoid them all as a single unit in a show of exceptional aerial maneuvering skill.
“So... how strong is this attack of yours?”
“Remember that last big attack I used? Well, this will be about five times bigger.”
Finally, Shinryu speaks up, having been listening silently thus far. “Tell us what you need.”
Within a few moments, the plan is laid out. The group breaks formation and circles back around toward the approaching Orsa-Terminus, each unleashing their respective attacks once they’re within range. The four heroes shoot past Orsa, before quickly looping around getting on him again before the much less agile giant can do anything. They fly around him erratically, like a swarm of angry bees attacking a bear. Under the constant pestering, Orsa-Terminus fails to notice that there are only three monsters attacking him.
Pavoroc lands on a piece of rubble floating a good distance away. He closes his eyes, concentrating on bringing out the power buried deep within himself. Soon, wisps of energy begin to raise from his body like smoke. His body slowly starts to take on a glow, which builds in intensity over the next couple minutes.
Orsa-Terminus bellows in rage as he continues fighting with Shinryu, Halcitrox, and Mich, occasionally managing to clip one of the fatiguing warriors with an attack of his own, but unable to put any of them down for any length of time. But suddenly, they all stop attacking and break away. He’s confused for about half a second before a brilliant glow catches his attention.
Like a glowing comet, Pavoroc streaks toward Orsa from below. Before the beast can react, he impacts. At that same instant, as planned, Shinryu opens up rifts for all of the heroes, himself included. A bright flash illuminates the void, and what floating rubble remains is vaporized by the ensuing shockwave.
When the shockwave passes and the flash finally fades several seconds later, a rift appears and a chunk of land emerges from it, a pile of monsters laying at its center. Barely conscious from the exertion on his already taxed powers, Shinryu reaches out with his mind and searches for Pavoroc amongst the churning cloud of smoke. Finding the bird falling, he opens a rift and transports him to the platform, which Pavoroc crashes down on in a battered, smoking heap. His breathing ragged, and too injured and weak to lift his head, he opens his eye and tries to look around.
“Is everyone... safe?”
“Yes.” replies Mich. “Shinryu pulled it off just as planned.”
“Good.” he pauses for a few moments before turning his gaze upward. “And... him?”
“I... do not think so.” responds Shinryu.

Halcitrox was breathing heavily. His form, although shielded by the shadow dragon he had conjured, was still taking a beating. He had so little left to give. But then again, it appeared Orsa as in much the same boat. Everyone else was too weak to move...or worse. This needed to end, once and for all. Halcitrox beat his wings, surging more power into the shadow form in order to maintain his defenses. Orsa would fall, or Halcitrox would die trying.
The abomination bellowed in fury, his body smoking as burning chunks of melted flesh dripped from his frame, as Halcitrox entered view. The shadow dragon unleashed a storm on lightning from his wings, with all the bolts striking Orsa's enlarged form. More explosions blanketed the evil beast as Halcitrox wheeled around for another pass, a searing gout of Shadowfire erupting from his maw and striking Orsa along the flank. But even this was not enough to fell the beast, as a blast of energy shot forth from Orsa's cavernous maw and struck Halcitrox in the chest. The black dragon bellowed in agony as Orsa prepared to fire again.
Which is exactly where Halcitrox wanted him.
Halcitrox's shadow form collapsed inwards before coalescing into a massive sphere of energy, which continued to expand as the dragon poured every last ounce of strength he had into powering up this final attack. Orsa's maw stretched wide as he prepared to unleash one final attack, when Halcitrox struck. He flung the enormous sphere right down the abomination's maw. Orsa was forced to swallow the blast as Halcitrox detonated the sphere inside Orsa's body. The explosion was massive, rivaling the power Pavoroc had unleashed not moments before.
The dragon collapsed to the ground, almost too weak to continue. He had nothing left to give, and the smoke shrouding the blast area left him unsure if his move had even succeeded. The dragon waited with ragged breaths, hoping against all hope that the battle was finally over...

Smoke had filled the Void the heroes stood in. All had gone still, and silence permeated every inch of the arena. Was it finally over? Had the heroes destroyed the abomination once and for all? Tired and exhausted, the group stood strong, despite their physical exhaustion. Orsa had disappeared- it seemed to them that the storm had finally passed. It seemed to easy, really, for the one of the most powerful creatures ever to have appeared to simply vanish without a trace. Despite this, however the heroes took this moment of peace to slump, and build back their strength. It was a long journey to get back home from this hellish abyss they had been thrown so suddenly into....
But all was not yet over for them. There was more to come.
From the bowels of the abyss, like a zombie who refused to stay dead, the form of Orsa shot up past the heroes' platform, his body engulfed is hellish smoke. With a roar of pain and agony, the smoke cleared, revealing the torn and mangled body of the once seemingly insurmountable menace. His once mighty visage had been destroyed beyond recognition, and much of his body was beginning to crumble; it was clear that the beast was nearing its end. But despite this, it refused to give up. Armageddon's voice soon blasted from all around them in the void, like a loudspeaker in a football stadium, his voice filled with anger and dripping with defeatism.
"After all this hard work... I am bested by mere mortals!" Armageddon howled. "inconceivable! I shall not let myself be overcome by such worms!"
"ADMIT IT, YA BIG BASTARD- YOU'VE LOST!" Sid replied. "YOU'VE GOT NOTHIN' LEFT- YOU'VE EXHAUSTED YOUR RESERVES!"
"Your end approaches, Orsa!" Shinryu added on. "You know as well as us that you're body cannot hold up from any more punishment!"
"Nonsense... I am the Harbinger of the End!" Armageddon bellowed, clearly aggravated. "I have all the power IN THE WORLD!"
With a scream that quickly warped into a bellowing roar and caused the entire void to shake, Orsa's body exploded with power that rivaled that of his initial birth. His limbs violently extended, as his fingers warped into massive tendrils that whipped and curled like vines from a tree. His tail's legs twisted and contorted into tendrils, as his tail whipped around wildly like a decapitated snake. The beast's wings rippled and contorted themselves into massive limbs, ready to strike enemies that came close. And finally, with his body suspended in the air, Orsa's upper torso ripped itself open from mouth to belly, a pained yet furious wail escaping his body's torn shape. All around him, eldritch objects rained from above the heroes in the void, aiming to crush or obliterate them with blasts of hellish power. Suddenly, the abomination's mouth began to glow, as the arena suddenly began to sucked up into the massive jaws of the abomination.
The monster was trying to take them with him!
But Orsa had made a fatal mistake in his desperation- a strange, glowing structure could be seen within the beast's form- his core! This was their chance- they could finally defeat this monster once and for all!
((OOC: So we've finally approached the end of this wild ride. All I can say is HOLY SHIT, GUYS! You really made this an awesome thing to do, even if it took far longer than it should have. This is it guys- focus your firepower on Orsa's weakpoint, and the battle shall be complete! I hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did.))

Mara looked up as she struggled to stay on her legs. She was nearly dead, more of a walking corpse than anything. Shattered bones jutted out of her once magnificent white fur, and her masks were smashed and broken, revealing her bloody, bruised, and battered face. This... This was it. deep, jaggid breaths escaped her mouth as she leapt to the side, avoiding the massive tendrils that slammed down where she was. The beast was charging up a deadly attack... and she had no idea how to stop it. It had taken everything they had thrown at it... yet it was still go-
"Attack the core" the voice in her head said. Mara halted. "I said, attack the core. It is the only way we can kill him, mother. Please... fire into there and stop this abomination! It's his weak point!"
"But... you called me mother?" Mara stammered. She has thought she had heard the voice say that earlier, but she hadn't been able to discern what it had said before, but now... "Who... who ARE you?"
"I will tell you another time, but now, focus on the task at hand, please... " The voice said once more to her. Mara had no choice but to gaze back at the towering Orsa Tree. Her claws dug into the platform, and electricity flowed into her mouth, before she let out one last, powerful Zap Cannon. The bolt of lightning crashed into Orsa's core, and the reaction was immediate. Orsa let out an unearthly howl of pain and agony as the beam lanced right into him, wrecking nerves and damaging his already exposed core. Yet, even as Mara kept the beam up, it wasn't enough... but maybe... "Everyone, focus your attacks on the core! This is our only chance to slay the monster! Let not the deaths of those who came before be in vain!" The voice shouted, this time through the minds of all those there...
"Crigan... This is for you." Mara growled, as she pumped more electricity into the beam, hoping the damage and pain would be enough to keep Orsa from retaliating before they could destroy him...

OOC:
Oh Orsa tree, Oh Orsa tree, Thy leaves are so unchanging Not only green when summer's here, But also winters cold and drear. Oh Orsa tree, Oh Orsa tree, Thy leaves are so unchanging!

Oh Orsa tree, Oh Orsa tree, Much pleasure do you bring me! Oh Orsa tree, Oh Orsa tree, You'll never be unchanging! A symbol of good, will, and love You'll never be unchanging Each shining light Each silver bell No one alive spreads cheer so well Oh Orsa tree, Oh Orsa tree, You'll never be unchanging

The bolts connected precisely with the glowing core, as though it had been guided by an unseen force. In the meantime, a gigantic piece of rock, almost as big as Orsa himself, descended rapidly.
"This is for breaking my beak." the doctor Yamane's voice, as well as the two others that spoke through the other mouths, had a distinct wheezing to it, but it was surprisingly calm. Blood bubbled from her mouth as she spoke.
The chunk of rock, pointed like an inverted mountain top, was forced into Orsa's mouth and shattered by Michiru's mind alone, causing the pieces of mineral to stab into Orsa. His twisted mouth was split open further like a belly torn open, showing more of his glowing core.
"And this is for being a Grade A pain in the arse, as well as a frickin' world destroyer."
A trio of red lightning bolts, larger and more powerful than any of her usual ones, joined Mara's, as the doctor's own core surged with bright red...
