...
Nuvlora: [She leaps back, avoiding a strike from on of the parasite's serrated tendrils.] !! [Observes the ice beneath her paws. It cracks.] This isn't a safe battlefield at all.
Cruce: [He notices the crack as well.] For any of us... [He observes the Black Parasite's movements. It seems to be moving on four "leg" tentacles, though slowly. It thrusts its arm tendrils into dark corridors which it creates. The other end of the dark corridor generally appears to be anywhere near Cruce of Nuvlora. Cruce, incidentally, is hit by one of these tendrils from behind. He slides forward on the ice.] Ah!!
Nuvlora: Cruce! Alright, I have to kick it up a few notches. [She stands firm, the leaves on her body glowing white. She seems to be gathering energy from the plant life around her, evidently the entire Ancient Growth. While the Black Parasite is distracted with Cruce, she casts a quick spell. White vines from unknown sources suddenly wrap around the tendrils, constricting around them and holding them in place.]
[The Black Parasite roars, struggling to break free from the grips.]
Cruce: [Sees this as his chance too start his assault.] This is about to get ugly! [He casts his telepathy on one of the bound tendrils, pulling hard.] Hrrrrrr!! [The Black Parasite's movement's become more desperate as it shrieks. A loud snap is heard as the tendril separates from the parasite's body, black acid spilling from the huge wound.] Feel this, freak! [He uses the monster's tendril against itself, jumping into the air and commanding the tentacle to swipe it with his motions as well as his mind. The parasite is knocked into the air, then slashed here and there and until another tentacle is severed, falling to the ice with black acid spilling again. The first wound seems to have regenerated, though the tendril has not grown back. The black acid melts through the ice, opening a wide hole in the lake.]
Nuvlora: Cruce! Hold me in midair! [She leaps at Cruce as the Black Parasite falls into one of the openings of the lake. Cruce catches her with telepathy, holding her up above the hole. She inverts hr aerial position so that her tail is pointed down. Her tail fires forth barrages of white leaves into the water after this monster. As her "ammunition", essentially, is depleted, it leaves behind the shape of a flower, which is the natural tip of her tail. This flower gleams brightly.] Flora Ray, go! [A beam of white, green, and pink radiance follows the leaves into the water.]
...
[Nuvlora lands near Cruce as her beam depletes, her feature's returning to their normal color.]
Cruce: Holy crap... High paw, Nuvlora. [He holds his forepaw up.]
Nuvlora: [Giggles a little, returning the "high paw".]
...
...
...
[As Nuvlora and Cruce prepared for battle against the easily disposed of Black Parasite, Lavender faced the Nightmare Dingo.]
...
Lavender: [Backflipping into action, her paws gleam with purple aura. She growls.]
Nightmare Dingo: [He stands low with his tail firing "cannon balls" of blackness at Lavender.]
Lavender: [She crosses her arms over her face, a purple shield rising to guard her from the blasts. She slides back a bit on the ice.]
Nightmare Dingo: [Continues his relentless attack while slowly creeping up on Lavender.]
Lavender: [She escapes injury, but not the blindness from the constant combustion of black clouds in front of her. Suddenly, she is swept from her feet by the dingo now very close to her.] Wah! [Falls back on her tail, facing up at the Nightmare's tail, which is ready to burst.]
Nightmare Dingo: It's over.]
Lavender: It's only begun! [A second before the blast, Lavender forces her aura to release from the pores of her body, expanding then transforming into a quick shield in the shape of her body. This takes the blast, and Lavender slides away from the Nightmare, somersaulting backwards and standing again. She reacts quickly, conjuring a force-field around the dingo.]
Nightmare Dingo: Childsplay. [With one blast from his mouth rather than tail, the force-field shatters.] !!
[Lavender is rushing at him, paws aglow. She moves on arm to conjure a square-force-field behind the Nightmare before backflipping the Nightmare into the air with her tail. It ricochets off of the rising force-field. She follows this move up with a spin kick. Ricochet. Punch. Ricochet. Front kick. Ricochet. Finally, she ends with an overhead sweep using her tail. The dingo plummets down to the ice, weakened. The ice cracks...]
Lavender: [Lands, casting another force-field above the Nightmare. It crashes down on top of it, blasting it through the ice and into the freezing water beneath. The force-field remains over the hole to prevent the Nightmare from returning... When she notices a black mist lift from the ice, she sighs a sigh of relief.] Whew... No problem.
...
...
...
[As this battle between Lavender and the dingo began, so did the battle between Safiri and the buck.]
...
Safiri: [Facing off with the buck.] Raymond! Officer Raymond! I know you can hear me!
Nightmare Buck: [Remains silent, black electricity sparking at its antlers.] ...
Safiri: It's me! Safiri! C'mon, you have to remember!
Nightmare Buck: ...[Its antlers releases the electricity, zapping Safiri.]
Safiri: [Paralyzed momentarily, she falls to her side.] Ah!! ...O-officer... Raymond...
Nightmare Buck: ...[Walks slowly to Safiri.] Save your breath, though you will soon have no need for it. [His antlers spark again.]
Safiri: [She stands, her body resisting.] ...So... y-you've forgotten...
Nightmare Buck: [Another releases. Safiri cries out in pain and falls again.]
Safiri: [Laying on her side.] ...S-stop...
Nightmare Buck: Only if you end me.
Safiri: [She stands again, though the buck's electricity shoots out at her again. She falls. The Nightmare is now standing directly over her. It lowers its head, butting into her with its antlers and tossing her up into the air where she is zapped repeatedly before falling again.]
Cruce: [As he is distracting the Black Parasite, he notices Safiri struggling. He casts his telepathy on her, moving her far away from the buck and on the rim of the lake.]
Safiri: [As she is set down, she falls again, whining softly.] ...(...So he's a Nightmare... no turning back then...) [Stands very slowly, looking out at the lake. She notices the buck running full speed at her.] (I have to take you down for the sake of everything you once stood for.) ... [Shaking the pain off, she starts running at the buck. The two seem as if they are going to collide.]
Nightmare Buck: [The voltage on its antlers starts up once again.] ...
Safiri: [Having been shocked enough to predict the next bolt, she comes within about ten feet of the Nightmare before bursting in her hyper speed; a C-shaped blindside around it. Safiri rams into the Nightmare from behind, carrying it with her in her hyper speed. She feels the sensation of electricity running through her body.]
Safiri: (Not... gonna give in...!!) [She cries out, resistance the electricity. Thinking quicker than she is running, she dashes at an icy slope angling into the wall of the tree. She runs straight up this wall with the buck in tow until she crashes into the icy roof. The buck, weakened, begins falling. Safiri falls slower due to her low center of gravity. Using a more unique ability, she dashes from midair straight down into the buck. The two crash into the ice, descending deep into the icy lake and crashing into the lakebed...]
Nightmare Buck: [Its face is seen one last time as it begins to dissipate into the water...]
Safiri: [Completely unaware of the deadly cold, she watches the buck vanish, then looks up to see another figure joining her in the water. The Black Parasite. Its roar can be heard in the water... Quickly, Safiri dog paddles up, losing breath due to the shock of the cold.] !!! [She struggles to reach the surface, her vision blurring. Suddenly, her body almost forces itself to kick into hyper speed as she swims. She does so, bursting from the water. At the speed she breaks the surface at high speeds, the water leaves her body... She falls safely on the ice, cold, but hardy wet.] Brrr-rr-rr-rr!! Ahhh... S-s-so co-cold... So-so f-f-freaking cold...
...
Cruce: [Everyone has finished their battles.] Safiri! [He runs to her as she seems like she is going to collapse. As she does, Cruce holds her up by gently biting the scruff of fur in the back of her neck, his ears flat against his skull.]
Safiri: [She closes her eyes, but knows Cruce is right there.] ...C-Cru...
Nuvlora: [Now with the two, next to Lavender.] Sh-sh-shh, Safie... We got you...
Lavender: Let's get her to the ridge over there. [She points to the edge of the lake.]
Cruce: Mhmm. [Nods, focusing his telepathy on Safiri. He releases her, though causes her to levitate.]
[The three walk to the dry ground, Cruce setting Safiri down. She lays on the ground.]
Lavender: [Places a paw on her back.] ..She's injured... B-badly...
Nuvlora: I got it. [Nods, placing a paw of her own on one of Safiri's.] ... [Closes her eyes, drawing energy from the Ancient Growth again. She glows white, though instantly lets this life-force enter Safiri in the form of what it already is, considering Safiri is already a plant as well.]
Cruce: [Watches with anticipation...] ...
Safiri: [Her breathing becomes steady again... Her eyes open.] Mm...?
Nuvlora: [Ceases the life-force transfer, smiling at her sister.] Safie...?
Safiri: [Smiles back up at Nuvlora.] ... ...[She looks at Lavender, then Cruce.]
Cruce: [Grins.] Safiri... S-Safie... [Lowers his head to hers, licking her cheek. His tails wag freely.]
Safiri: Heheh, Cruce, your breath is warm... [Gives him a kiss on the side of the muzzle.] ...I love you guys...
Nuvlora: Aww...
Lavender: We love you too, Saf. [She smirks.] Good thing Nuv here knows some tricks.
Safiri: No kidding... [Smiles back up at Nuvlora again.]
Nuvlora: How do you feel?
Safiri: [Stands.] Good enough to keep at it!
Lavender: Excellent! Let's!
Nuvlora: Agreed! Careful on the ice!
[The potential returns to the four to keep moving full speed ahead. The light of the Phaze is seen across the lake and up the frozen lake's pathway. They run up the river, uninterrupted by any further Nightmares. As they move around corners and continue up the river, a strange blackness can vaguely be made out underneath them, along with a rumbling.]
...
Cruce: Oh... my... What was that?
Nuvlora: Must be all the ice messing with the Growth. This place wasn't meant to be frozen over.
Safiri: You think the ice made that noise?
Cruce: Sounded like something's following us... or... [He looks down... then up. The glowing hole in the ice remains... Before they can reach it, the Black Parasite roars, shooting upward through the ice and instantly clinging onto the walls with its tentacles. It is brutally maimed.]
Lavender: Ah!!
Nuvlora: Not enough, huh?!
Cruce: Nuvlora, it's almost frozen solid!
Nuvlora: Let's finish this then!
[Both of them work together to cast a cooperative spell. As they do so, all colors of ice begin to form on the wet Black Parasite. It becomes frozen solid in this encasing of shining rainbow ice.]
Nuvlora: [She inhales, then exhales sub-zero air. It forms a ramp of ice pointing to the black parasite.]
Safiri: Let me at 'em!! [The bottoms of her paws gleam yellowish-green.] This thing's goin' down! Far down! [She dashes back until she is aligned with the ice ramp.]
Lavender: You certainly know what to do! [Again, she casts a spherical force-field around Safiri, this one far larger than the previous. Lavender, Cruce, and Nuvlora stand safely aside.]
Cruce: Give it hell, Safiri!!
Safiri: Hell it is! [A reverse shockwave of yellow returns to her paws. As it enters her body, she blasts forward, shouting with adrenaline. She leaves the ramp, beaming at the Black Parasite as an enormous purple and yellow wisp of energy. She crashes through the demon, the entire thing shattering into millions of pieces. The waterfall behind the enemy shatters as well, the flow of water continuing down. Safiri falls into the glowing water, instantly beaming up to the next area.]
Lavender: [She claps her paws.] Alright! Let's follow her lead!
[They do so. All three of them jump into the glowing water. They are sent up to the moment of truth...]
...

...
[Safiri stands in the room of the large ravaged shrine. The entire area has been frozen over, the broken parts of the shrine rebuilt as black ice. The ten pillars surrounding this shrine all seem to be emitting a dark purple charge which beams upward. It is holding an elegant figure in the air above the shrine. At the top of the black ice stands an all too familiar -- in many ways -- enemy.]
...
[The other appear behind Safiri.]
Nuvlora: [Looks up at the shrine.] ! It's her!
Lavender: Th-that's not Danny...
Maaya: Mmhmhmhmhmhmhm... Hahahahahahaha!! [Her voice is as distorted as it was previously. She turns slowly, revealing her face to the four.] Your wits tell you much... Danny is nothing now! But a small fraction of his body remains in this existence and that fraction is mine... all of it... mine... this Phaze... this Ancient Growth... the power of gods, mine!! [She laughs maniacally into the freezing air.]
Nuvlora: Your time's up, Maaya! Release the Phaze!
...

...
Supernova: [The glorious dragon Phaze is barely capable of speech at this point.] H-heroes...! Maaya...! A-at... full... power...!!
Cruce: Guys, we have to stop her!
Nuvlora: On it! [She aims her tail at Maaya, drawing energy from what remains of the Ancient Growth.]
Lavender: [Charges up her purple aura in both paws.]
Safiri: [Readies herself to burst full speed at Maaya.]
Cruce: [Begins casting a concentrated mind spell.] Give it up!!
Maaya: [She raises her head, the dark purple charge entering her body.] ...
...
[Burst.]
...
[All four of the moves strike her at once.]
...
[Tremors.]
...
[A flash of dark purple envelops the area.]
...
"...How... very kind... of you..."
...
"All of your powers... mine..."
...
"Everything... mine..."
...
"I am... a goddess..."
...
"The Overlord of Misery... no longer... controls me..."
...
"I am immortal... I am perfection..."
...
"It is time... to bless all worlds with the Crystalline Genesis of my eternal kingdom..."
...
"And I shall start with this realm."
...
...
...
"Your world..."
...
"Your friends... family... Eclipses..."
...
[Topher stands as a human, on his last breath. He is above a pile of rubble with devastation surrounding him everywhere. He wields two peculiar weapons...]
...
"Phazes..."
...
[One weapon is shaped like a cross, the blades being the tips of the cross of course. The blades are shaped like yellow icy leaves, with a floral and leafy pattern running down the cross-shaped weapon.]
...
"Home..."
...
[The other weapon is also a cross. It is green with white air-shaped blades. Connecting these blades is what appears to be a gear-shaped crest. The tip of the cross weapon fans out into to symmetrical wing shapes.]
...
"Gone."
...
"Time... will tell... Cruce."
