The rabid flock of pale Plague Priests swarm for Joseph and the Hanged Quin, and in an instant Jalken's tentacles surge forth to ram them to the ground. She leaps up and with a glance to Joseph yells, "I leave THEM to YOU!!" she says as she bolts to Egaraida, her tentacles clumping together to form a sword --- but then her attack is blocked off by a clump of gathered-red thorns...

...belonging to a hooded form on the side... revealing itself as Aschera Psolenaida. Skin green in hue, her mouth shut... yet her eyes burning white in Egaraida's control. Right before Jalken could attempt a word Aschera summons a cluster of red thorns that shove Jalken a distance away. Furai flitters close by, her expression stern. ".... so, it is as He feared."

Gritting her teeth, Jalken hesitated to push forward and fight. But as Aschera snapped the chains  and bindings that kept her arms and legs bound, the Hanged Quin knew that there was no room for her worry. An entire clump of glistening red thorns sprout from her arms as she forces both into the ground, and the growth extends to the floor, rapidly shaping into a funnel of crystal spikes..

Atrea, driven by her rage and unnatural frenzy, dives straight for Cayenne as the latter froze her pale-robed minions into crystal on by one, her wings arched behind her like demon wings. The Contagial had just froze a Plague Priest who went for her face when a loud smack nails her on the cheek -- and talon slices at her stomach area, forcing her to the side. She feels warm liquid below.. and as she struggles to stand Atrea pushes her foot upon her back. "'''You don the colors of a cause... but it does not change what and who you are. YOU ... are still the fragile Contagial BEHIND the glass." '''She forces the Mamono down, grabbing both her arms and locking them behind Cayenne, threatening to break them --

Cayenne : ... NO... I-I AM NOT!!

To Atrea's shock, Cayenne's palms explode in a flurry of crystal, causing her to step back and for Cayenne to turn for her. With a scream, she pushes her palm at Atrea... and freezes her entire lower body in a glacier-like formation of cystal...

"No." Jeiel utters aloud as he hoists both the Lilm and human Morgan on her shoulders, carrying them over like bags of wheat. "I refuse to have you one of you two stay behind. WE'RE doing this altogether, you HEAR me??  NO ONE IS STAYING!" Jeiel hollers as his pace quickens upward, belaying the weight nor gravity of the situation...

Meanwhile, on Ophelia's mind - the Lilim witnesses a brief black-out of the gathering area of the Clowin. As she regains focus, she sees all the Clowin to the ground as if someone had tossed them aside."''What happened??" Arith yelled cynically, to which she was answered by Ragasia with, "The vessel's identity has divided itself into two. What is going on, Ophelia Kifer? You might not be able to handle us now that --"''

At that moment, a pulse of energy swells from within Lilim-Ophelia --like her very chest was about to burst on fire. She can feel the life energy of 8 Clowin weighing upon her..and Jeiel can sense the growing distress within, "Ophelia!! Are you alright?? Don't keep me in the dark - say SOMETHING!!"

Pir'e's barrier juts the blades in like spears lodging into wood. Upon prompting the broken blade in hand to stop the Bathorie in her tracks, Pir'e was just about to launch her counterattack when Lyndis uses sheer force to wrestle her body out of the solifidied blood. She absorbs the blood-boulder completely into her palm.. and creates side-arm blades twice her size to which she dons for both her arms. She blinks right behind Pir'e, making her blades cross as they were expectedly intercepted by the Bathorie's superior.

'''" I do not want to stay in your shadow... and yet you TREAT me LIKE I AM a CHILD.  WHY won't YOU STOP CODDLING me ?? WHY do you stll see me as young and reckless LYNDIS?? ANSWER ME!!" '''Lyndis screeches, bashing her blades at Pir'e repeatedly.

The Blood Order soon wrecks the final structure - but then they see that the energy spires reaching out to the Naether atmosphere weren't stopping. Just as soon as Konigia stopped from her run she... starts to feel her limbs going heavy. She looks at her hands and her vision... was doubling. "Wh... why am I.... feeling tired....?" uttered the Orlovald. Elsewhere, all the other Blood Order members strained to fight off the same feeling..

...as if someone was eating away at their vitality. And at the same time, the very aura of the Quitonne-spawn in the battlefield... spiraled deeper into malevolence...

Carrion : What... is even.. happening HERE?

Balthema and Altair are yet to close the gap on Samuel and Samiah when an ethereal glow bathed them upon them. There was the interlocking of chains of light... and as the light receded what remained was ... a younger person whom the two Femme Diabolique Mamono had never seen before. Furry-eared, cerulean-haired, canid nosed and his mouth filled with sharp teeth, his hands were aligned with nail claws and from his back sprouted 9 tails of gleaming blue fluff. His eyes.. were a mix of Samuel... and Samiah's.

"This... is the bond that only the Betrothed SHARE. THE two sides ... become ONE. A child.. OF THE UNION!"

Balthema's eyes glint in anger as she prepares to arm herself, and Altair forms her eponymical dark blade. However, the Samuel-Samiah form disappears in fox-flame -- and reemerges with his tails arching down upon them like a gigantic cluster of blue sickles, engulfing the area in a massive explosion upon impact...

Durnahviir's taunts are answered by the frenzy of Quitonne-spawn who leap at him from every angle, trying to claw at his hide. A group of converging Naetherkin is then kicked aside as Celsion, Katora and Seiren appear on his back. Katora is the first to yell, "BEFORE you can think of messing with the GREAT DRAGON, you'll have to DEAL WITH US!!"

"Noble dragon, you're not ALONE on your crusade!" Celsion places a hand on Durnahviir as she leaps to her feet and slugs a punch at an incoming Bewilderling. Seiren is about to say the same thing... but then she starts to weaken at the same pace as the Blood Order. She looks to her surroundings... and realizes something was going terribly wrong.

Repter charges, his steps almost blazing light. The Des Abel couldn't nearly fathom his coming strike, but it did and the moment Repter struck she had struck too - and the two pass each other like duelists. Repter's blade lowers... and the Des Abel drops hers. She collapses at the gigantic gash of a wound that Repter leaves to incapacitate her, but she also did a number of Repter, as he feels his chest had been riddled with an impact that broke nearly half his ribs..

Upon raising her shields, Ayu sees the Mal Corazon's silenced state running up to her and with empowered strikes she slams her tail repeatedyl at the girl, trying to break through the defense of her fans. When she saw this didn't work, eight tentacles branched from behind her and hurried to both her left and right trying to box her in..

As they had just teleported out of harm's way, Layfon, Anitra and Jack's team soon hear the sound of a great implosion from the distance, signalling them that Quitonne... had indeed blown up from within. Pondering on the thought of the much-needed reinforcements, something whizzes down into a kneel in front of them.

Ka Mula the Kak'ja. Joined by her pack.. and the Mamono rebels that were in allegiance with Samuel Rifek a time ago.

"You... said you needed reinforcements. It seems... the Naether... has answered." She points ahead, and the men could see that beyond the veil of Fallspace... there was an assembly of Naetherkin... bigger than the current number of Quitonne-spawn.The Naetherkin... have heeded Layfon and Seiren's call for arms.

"Godswear it I LOVE this AI!" Bright exclaims giddily as he hands the anti-venom gun to one of the Slime soldiers and orders, "Round them up and stick it in their necks with this! DON'T forget!  CONRAD, make sure all the invaders are stopped in their tracks now. Kida! Fari! Lich-chan! Head down there to give the anti-venom to the Empire men! ISAAC - lead them! THEY'RE going to need someone who'll oversee the whole THING! Once I'm done with the tech disabler I'm GOING down THERE too!"

"A-Alright!" Kida says as she rushes to the finished anti-venom products in stacked containers. Fari helps in carrying them.. and they look to Conrad. "CONRAD! Beam us down to the battlefield!!"
