Soon, only five Monoes were left.
"These are all real people!", Salem pointed out in his amplified broadcast. "People who JAck has swallowed temporarily!"
[[Guess all five. Hint: One of them is Monoe.]]

"I don't view myself as that powerful. You know..."
Azrael twirled the cleaver in his hands.
"The whole 'Wanted in All Fifty States'... no..."
Guinness swiped at him with his claw, and Azrael performed an inhuman backbend, bobbing forward as if it was nothing.
"...'Wanted in Five Countries'..."
Guinness shanked Azrael towards the heart with a claw, and Azrael blocked it with two cleavers, but Guinness pierced through the feeble defense.
"Wait..."
Azrael crossed and uncrossed his arms, severely shortening one of Guinnness' claws.
"...'Wanted Dead in All Countries'."

Ecchymos looked at the Monoes.
"One's that Polly. There also has to be Monoe herself and Jack. But who are the other two?"
Wadsworth pointed to a Monoe at random, then to Ecchymos.
"Hey you, what's that guy's name?!"

That Monoe scoffed.
"Stupid fleshgrafter! Thinks flesh is more important than skeletons."
Chryseis understood this tell, and biting down hard on her thumb, drew a big 'M' on that Monoe's chest in her bluish blood.

Wadsworth looked at Chryseis in consternation.
"I could have just carved the word FAKE into her face. Easier."
Wadsworth pointed to another Monoe.
"You! What's his name?"

The Monoe twiddled her fingers.
"L-Lord Ecchymos."
Chryseis flinched, not sure what to do.

Wadsworth held his now-sharp arm very close to that Monoe's face.
"Last name?"

Monoe warbled.
"He only said it twice. I d-don't remember..."

Ecchymos stood between Wadsworth and that Monoe.
"It's Corvix. And I don't expect her to remember that."
Wadsworth scoffed.
"You're too trusting. For all you know, that's Jack, and he's gonna eat you."
Wadsworth grew large, spiked jaws.
"Or I will."
He snapped at Ecchymos.

A different Monoe shrieked.
"No!"
She then covered her mouth in horror, and the other four took the real Monoe, and formed into Jack, Jin, Mocha, Polly and Monoe.
"How tiring."
Jack turned into a huge snake again, but coiled himself to make a huge pyramid. On one of the middle rungs, cages with each of the other four moved in a circular carousel motion with erratic timing.

Wadsworth, Mini, Ecchymos and Vhozd stared up at Jack. "Hmm," Wadsworth said. "This may prove to be a problem." He began climbing Jack's coils, trying to make it to the top. Mini tried to follow him, but her small stature combined with the fact that she was laughing uncontrollably made her fall back down. Ecchymos looked at her confusedly. "Your name is Ecchymos! Like an ecchymosis!" [[Aaaaand now you all know where I got the name.]] Vhozd picked her up and set her on the first step. He then assisted Ecchymos before clambering up himself.

Seven glowing orbs floated around Jack.
"Those are his chakras!", Chryseis cried out.
They formed into heads of their own, which slashedd at Wadsworth, growlign angrily.

[[Well, I basically lifted Wadsworth's name from Fallout 3. You were playing it while I was trying to think of a name and Wadsworth told the joke about atoms in a bar and I was like *click*.]]
Wadsworth was cut into many pieces, which formed back into Wadsworth.
"Haha, you have eight heads! And you're a snake! Anyone else getting the mythological connection here?"
When Mini saw Ecchymos looking confused, she explained.
"Ancient Japanese myth. Yamata no Orochi was a legendary 8-headed and 8-tailed Japanese dragon that was slain by the Shinto sea-god Susanoo."

Jack tilted his head.
He looked slightly exhausted, but feared destruciton of the cages.
"SERVANT! BRING--...wait."
He remembered his Tragic Flaw; the Lady had her hedonism, Bifrost/Chryseis had her ocmpassion, and he had his alchoholism.
He snapped at Mini and Wadsworth, since they were closer to his weakness than he liked.
