[BOTTLED] The Finale (END - PG. 11)

[Lucyal]

You find yourself sucked into the black hole and...here.

Wherever here is.

The ground beneath you is solid. There seems to be no boundaries. You can walk into forever, if you so chose, but you will find nothing. You think you're in space, but upon closer inspection, all those glowing dots are actually bottles---ones you can't reach, as they're far above your head.

There's nothing else here. There's no ornate bottles for you to enter. It almost seems like there will be nothing until----
 

[Lucyal]

Before you can get too far, a feminine disembodied voice speaks. Her words echo and ripple across the space, causing the floating bottles to lightly clink in accompaniment to her words. She speaks to all who are there.

"You've done well to make it this far. I've never had the chance to personally deal with curious fools before. No one ever passed all the trials---until now."

The air ripples around you, and those bottles that are high above your head suddenly look like shooting stars across space as they converge in a single point. As the bottles condense, they glow bright, and the sphere they form grows larger and larger until a figure can be made from the mass. As it forms, another ripple blows out across the space, knocking everyone back before the air settles around them once more.

"I am your final trial." She says. "If you want out of this trap, you must defeat me. If you don't---perish. Perish, and join those who have been trapped here as well. Become trials for other fools or---" Her lips stretch into a smile. "Rest eternally in the Catacombs, too, joining those who never made it out."

From the bottles floating around her, the creature plucks one, and shows it to all who have gathered. For those who have died once in this realm, the contents of the bottle look familiar. It's the Cemetery, contained in a bottle with its peace and solitude.

She crushes the bottle between her hands.

The remains of the dimension that was the Cemetery scatter to the air like dust below her.

"No more of that, now."

She looks to all expectantly, and in her glassy gaze, she even seems curious and eager.

"You may begin."

Eurydike - 55HP - 5 = 50HP

So now he knew what a black hole felt like. That was... something he could've probably lived without, but sure. At least it didn't ******** kill him, and even in the lovely ******** death abyss, he could see most of the people there he knew that mattered.

Just ******** figured there'd be some super weirdo left to fight. Leviathan? Nahhh. Why not a naked ******** chick in a bottle. Like s**t hadn't been weird enough today.

Whatever though. ******** it. He felt invigorated, maybe because they were out of the desert or because he'd actually legitimately kicked some snake a**. Eurydike wanted to go the ******** home, although he wasn't stupid enough not to notice her crush the respawn point. "Still! Seiryuu! Genbu!" He kind of paused, staring blankly at the basic corrupt that'd come along with Still. "... whoever you are! Give this b***h whatever you got, but try an' stick together, yeah??"

Gameplans weren't really his thing; Eurydike was definitely more of a follower than a leader, more a 'punch first ask questions later' kind of guy if anything, but he just really wanted his people to stick together. He didn't want to lose any of them for real. So he grabbed the bottle he'd gotten earlier and hurdled it with everything he had, hoping for the best.

50HP Damage via Boom Boom Bottle!

Malaise - 25HP

He was getting kind of tired, so he'd just kind of stuck to hanging around the graveyard. Malaise had gotten some good notes about it, and was half-debating sleeping off the rest of whatever the ******** he'd actually smoked when the whole black hole thing happened.

So there was a battle going on. Huh. Okay. All those people in colorful outfits were back to take on a bottle lady, who'd crushed the cemetery in her hands. Nice. Okay.

He plopped down in the middle of space a short distance away from the action and just kind of watched, cross-legged, his notebook still in his hands as he jotted down some more notes.

Malaise does nothing!  

[frayedflower]

Kainite - 35HP - 5 = 30HP

This was around the point in his night where Kainite was really beginning to wonder if he should have stuck to slacking off. He could've been at home. He could've been watching Friends, again, or tried something new. Like he could have been watching more of that show on instant hotels. Or he could have cleaned his bathroom, maybe. Maybe that would've been better than this whole mess - the only shining beacon in all of this was that he'd gotten to meet Mintaka, and then he'd immediately died and that had been terrible, he'd gotten kissed by a snake woman -

Now there was a glass woman who wanted to kill them all, and death was seemingly going to be a real thing now, which at least absolved him of worrying whether or not he was actually a ghost - he guessed. But the silver lining in all this was running all kinds of thin, and even if he wouldn't ever say it, boy he really just wanted to go home and pretend none of this had happened. Just for tonight. He could go back to being super tomorrow.

But there was no real getting out of this, so he just did what he could and attacked.

7 + 2 = Kainite has done 9 damage!

Lieutenant Aventurine
HP: 30/35

One moment he was comfortable, or as comfortable as one could be, in his open grave and the next thing, he had been sucked into a black hole and spit out. Now he in another place, solidly on whatever constituted as the ground here, staring up at some giant woman half inside a bottle.

Great.

Lovely.

Everything he wanted to do.

She was demanding that they beat her, okay. Great. Too bad he only had a useless shoelace to 'fight' with considering he didn't think punching would do a lot.

He pulled off his belt and hucked it at her. It wasn't very effective but it was something.

35/35 HP

Act, and you have the freedom to choose. Ask, and have choice taken from you in that pause. Maybe one day she'd learn that.

In spite of the danger, Loreley couldn't help but gaze in wonder at the bottle-stars, the way they could turn and spin and glisten. How many worlds floated up above? How many contained wonder, and how many contained the losers from before? Or had they all been in the one the spirit of the bottle crushed, denied dignity and acknowledgement? She didn't know them, and yet her heart went out to those strangers whom they could not save, whom were now barely dust in the wind. And if she didn't act, she might soon join them.

But what was this being they fought? A youma gone rogue? Would her arrows even pierce through the creature's glass? She frowned in thought, hands clutching one another.

"Um...I know Mintaka," Loreley replied, grateful they could pause before battle. "I saw her before, with that pirate Nega." There was also another Dark Mirror she recognized from the rescue effort for her and the princess, but Loreley didn't have her name. The landscape was so vast, though, that she wasn't sure she could catch sight of either of them again, not without some exploration.

[ Corrupt Sailor Nembus ]

Somehow, the sensation of being forcibly ripped from where she had been standing and pulled through a black hole wasn't quite as painful as she had been expecting it to be. For one, she wasn't spaghetti. She had read that spaghettification was likely a thing so close to black holes when she was in the middle of a space-based internet dive, and she figured that would probably be super painful, but yet...

There she was, standing on two feet on ... something, somehow feeling a bit better than she had been feeling.

Strange.

Of course, everything about this was probably a bit strange. For one, they were in a bottle dimension. For another, there was a naked woman in a bottle floating in front of them and suggesting they attack her.

Maybe a bit was an understatement, but then, Nembus wasn't exactly sure how many strange situations people went through on a normal daily basis. She just knew her life had been a bit ... strange.

Nembus glanced over to Eurydike--that was what Still called him right?--as he addressed the other people around them. Nembus quickly started filing her names into her head. Seiryuu. Genbu. Still, of course. Whoever she was. He was... he was including her. In his little group of people who were Order and who were-- He didn't have to, but he was, even under the title of 'whoever she was'. Admittedly, sometimes, Nembus wasn't sure herself. At other times, though, she realized that was far too philosophical for what he was looking for and supplied a, "Nembus. That's my name."

And Nembus was totally up to attacking 'that b***h.'

Nembus tossed an item she had still been holding when she was sucked through the black hole from hand to hand before hurling it at the floating bottle woman.

Sailor Meissa

HP 35/35
(( taking 5 damage for attacking ))
Remaining HP 30/35

The landing was not exactly text book. Not even for a senshi who had a feline-esque power sphere. While one would argue that getting spit out by a black hole would negate anyone's ability to land on both feet Sailor Meissa was disheartened to land on her rear. While painful it was manageable. Rubbing the affected area the bluenette got her first look at this new location and sighed in wonder at what appeared to be stars above in the sky. But stars didn't make tiny clinking noises. More bottles then? Her guard went up as the voice from the start of everything came back telling those assembled that they'd done well. Was the voice congratulatory in nature or secretly mocking them as fools? Whatever the case Meissa was not prepared for what happened next.

It seemed as if all of the stars/bottles coalesced into one after a dazzling display of shooting across the sky to meet into a single point. It would have all beautiful if not for the fact that the bottles formed a single large vessel in which a figure materialized. The figure spoke declaring that she was the final trial.

Meissa glanced around for Moira and Botein and not finding them pondered her decisions. Fighting would have to be done but as the figure destroyed the environ that housed the cemetary the Bobcat Senshi knew things would have to be done carefully. For now though she'd try attacking early.

Mauvian Tiberius (Hooman Form) HP: 40/45

Much like before, the weird bottle-magic dropped them into a dimension that was only vaguely defined with boundaries in space as they understood it. There was 'sky' and 'ground' insofar as there was an 'above' and a 'below' according to their gravitational orientation in three-dimensional space. Obscura was set gingerly onto this uncertain plane as Tiberius examined the space around them as he had the two before.

The self-same voice from before, disembodied and mocking, cut across the expanse and set the thick ridge of fur at the Mauvian's spine on end.

When the 'Final Trial' appears, flashin' her Barbie-style tits, Tiberius was both surprised and unsurprised. He'd been waiting for the chick that belonged to the voice to show, but he hadn't though she'd be toy-store topless. Her comment about the Catacombs hit a raw nerve, causing the large Mauvian to growl and the star at the center of his forehead to begin glowing faintly. All those broken tiaras...those brooches...all the bones of dead senshi. Some maybe mine. You b***h-- I'll piss down your throat--

"Be careful, Obscura. I'm gonna do a thing, I want to use hands for this." There were things in his subspace inventory that would be useful, so very useful, to lob at Bottle Barbie. But he'd need hands to utilize them properly. Plus, transformed, he would be better equipped to protect the kitten if need be - after all, a big ol' human body was massively larger than the dainty Obscura. And so Mauvian Tiberius did the thing he had rarely found cause to do: he used his human-Mauvian form, letting the magic shift and re-shape him until a big buff anthro-puff knelt where a feline had just been.

He wiggled his toes and flexed his fingers. "Mmmkay. Up you go." Tiberius picked up the kitten and set her on his shoulder before he dug a single half brick, a pair of roller skates, and a rusty cast-iron frying pan out of the rented trash stash and launched each one at Bottlezilla with all the vigor of a teenage boy viewing his first boob.

Much satisfaction was taken from the resulting THWACK, CLONGKKSS, and BWOOOONGGG. Almost enough that he missed spotting his erstwhile companion and de facto sibling, Eion Risk across the span of rushing Order derps. Smokestack even had some companions, it seemed. Companions he hadn't shanked yet.

He's not transformed? Is he stuck as a civ then? Must be. Fascinating. Must be pissed. Hmm. Who the ******** with him? Naturally Smokestack wouldn't throw himself willy-nilly into battle - especially not as a waifish civilian child - but would he try to lead? Tiberius would have enjoyed watching to see, but that wasn't his function. 'Serve and Protect' or something like that.

Tiberius began moving towards Eion, keeping an eye on the bottle bimbo and a hand on Obscura so she wouldn't fall off.
