FINAL CONFRONTATION.

[foundationmods]

The Winchester House looms before you, the barrier that kept everything in - the time stop that Dog placed over the area - now thin as a single pane of transparent glass, Solomon still clearly outside the house frozen in the same position he was on the tapes.

The minutes tick by - and the barrier slowly gets thinner and thinner, close to falling.

You have seen everything - the events of the past. You have also come up with your own ideas of what to do from here - how to save your fellow 6350's lost to the curse, and defeat the Curse itself.

There is no one left alive in the house.

But, at the end of all of this...

There will be a wrong righted.

[soupervillain]

[ - a couple of familiar faces. ] Hey, what do you know? That superheated air trick came in handy after all. [ Giovanni glowers around at the assorted living and purified. ] You guys sure had fun, huh? Stealing our friends, wrecking our house, not even appreciating our soup... Well, if you hate us so much, then you can all just - [ A rush of dangerously hot, soupy air rolls outwards from Giovanni's body. ] GET OUT!!!

[boardreversal]

[And the other is - well. Of course, it's Battler, looking absolutely pissed off, his dead red eyes glaring at everyone.] Aniki, you're always a little nicer than I'd be. After all of this, - after everything you've done to us - I don't feel like just letting any of you walk away and leave. ...No, I'm done playing around. If that's how all of you want to play it...Then I guessI'll stop holding back, too. [And then, the seemingly impossible happens. A purple array of magical circles opens up behind him.] I've never really done something like this...but what the hell, why should the Witches get all the fun? Grandfather was said to be a powerful Wizard or whatever even with his black blood...so hey - Let's see how good I do, huh?

[finalring]

[ well he had enough of sitting around. with cinque having healed him and restored his mana to full capacity, he's now practically buzzing with power.

he wasn't going to just sit and watch the 6350s put their life on the line. perhaps the solomon of before would have done that, but not this one. just how long had it been since he had been in the front lines? ]

I'll take care of the vessels. Take care of the curse.

[ his voice is booming and almost authoritative, though he doesn't expect everyone to follow-- that's the wonderful thing about human nature. but he was definitely going to follow his word and use as much of his magic to hold the vessels back from harming them. there's a wild glint in his eyes as there's a surge of magic, and all 6350s will have a 30% attack and defense buff indefinitely. ]

Let's finish this!

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Having received a major buff for the final battle, Karen sprouts giant blue glowing butterfly wings, because that's just how Precure rolls.]

[finalring]

[ he nods at karen. ]

Go. I'll do my best to keep the vessels occupied.

[dereban]

[STAYING FAAAAAAAAAAAR BEHIND EVERYONE because hello she is useless for this fight and also gets no buffs because nullification is still on until further notice and also looking a little nervous because

hm

let's not deal with Battler today.

y'all have fun with that fight, she'll just be in the background hoping that she stays completely unnoticed.]

[finalring]

[ he has clairvoyance, my guy.

but he won't bug her any further. he asked her to stay safe, and he'd rather she steps away than forcing herself into a fight. ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[His eyes dulled, then a golden orb appears behind him, sitting on it as several giant lenses unfurls, focusing on the curse]

Allow me to assist, how is it that we'll defeat this, the answer of course - It's rudimentary, my friend. "Elementary, My Dear."

[All the lenses flare into life, shining brightly onto the curse, as everyone feels The enhanced senses and attention to detail return - allowing them to cut through defenses]

I'm going to focus entirely on keeping the Solution in the spotlight. Now go!

[finalring]

You're--!?

[ sherlock holmes? well he didn't expect that at all.

he nods at him. ]

Thank you! I won't let you down again!

[white_camellia]

[Well, she's in a golem right now, but even if she wasn't she wouldn't be in any condition to fight right now. Still, she has to say it...]

I have to say, I am a little disappointed that even after all this, you still do not understand. Forcing people never works out in the long term. Eventually, an opening will show up, and then all of those ill-gotten things will vanish at once... This plan to make everyone a part of yourself was never going to succeed.

[And she'll just... take a moment to glance at all the people who came in to resolve things.]

I am afraid I will have to leave things to you all. Please, save Battler-san and Giovanni-san.

[oceanicbutterfly]

You've done more than enough. We'll take it from here.

[finalring]

We'll do our best, Nanaka.

[ he nods. ]

I'm sorry I failed you all.

[tsunderine]

[also in a golem and also just groaning in disappointment]

I swear -

They're not even that thing's friends, really. Battler-kun is my stupid boyfriend and he's going to get his ass kicked and come home.

[just here to +1 Nanaka to be honest because she agrees and is also fucking Tired of all this shit]

[zweivoltage]

I'll take it from here, you rest up.

[houndumb]

HANG ON A FUCKIN' SECOND, YA STUPID LAWN ORNAMENT!!

[So it turns out the O- in O-5 stands for (Lawn) Ornament, because Nora comes skidding in right on the heels of the announcements, manages to get hit in the face by the buff (his expression changes to WHAT THE FUCK?? for a split second before going back to its thunderous scowl) and then stomps all the way up to Solomon and whatever the hell is even happening behind him.

A stomp of his foot and then he points directly at Giovanni.]

I already tracked that fucker all the way here, hey asshole, you smell like stinkin' miasma soup all over the house no matter how much you run, so you better be prepared for me to PUNCH THE SHIT AND THE SOUP OUTTA YOU!!!!

[So like, if nobody stops him he's literally just going to charge for the soup vessel. Dog holds grudges.]

[soupervillain]

Hey, I didn't run on purpose, genius! You think I wanted to leave you and your flunkies to beat up my girlfriend?! [ A wall of purple steam flares up between Giovanni and Nora, which may or may not actually deter the latter's attack. It is very hot, though, so be careful charging through it. ]

[oxidegreen]

[Marona was restored to one of the actual gigai, and now - it's time to put that to use.

Twirling in place, she raises her hand into the air and cries out:]

Valiant Phantoms, aid me in battle! Chartreuse Gale!

[Those among the ghosts who are able to fight will find themselves suddenly solid flesh and bone, having replaced various items scattered around the field. They have full access to their usual powers and abilities, and if they want to get an attack in - now's the time.]

[OOCly, this is a temporary body and after a while they'll be ejected from the item they've been confined to, returning to ghost form. Either people can use this opportunity to swap in/out of battle or get their attacks in before time's up. Use your best judgment for how long your character will last in their object as it fluctuates from character to character anyway! Have your cool moment! Live your best unlife!]

[zweivoltage]

[Ky was one of the first to answer, inhabiting a nearby tree, looking at his hands before nodding at Marona]

Right! "In front of the populace, I shall be a shield from the storm and a rock of support".

[And he joins the battle]

[le_mat]

[Ren, who already almost died today, and who ran out of the house chugging coffee from a thermos(???) is so ready to do some more fighting. He swaps around his persona, adding a Heat Riser on top of the 30%, then Debilitate on the Curse.

Then a Concentrate, doubling his magic attack before swapping to Satanael.]

Welp, let's see how this goes. Megidolaon!

[He's mostly aiming that Severe Almighty spell at the curse but it IS an attack all so...]

[boardreversal]

[Y'EVER GET HIT WITH GENUINE FUCKING MAGIC FOR THE FIRST TIME IN LIKE, EVER?

(The stakes and revivals do not count!!)

He screams before cutting it off halfway, giving a harsh breath before aiming a few lasers right at Ren.]

Gh - H-ha, it'll take more than that...!

[excavated]

[guess we're jumping into the fight - naturally, Syaoran does have a plethora of skills so he's going to try and utilize it as much as he can to protect everyone else, putting his two fingers together-] Fuuka Shourai!! [if anybody needs a wind barrier between them and the Curse, he's got you covered]

[killtheanimals]

[Ohhhh yes, here's the fight he's been waiting for. Keeping his own barrier in place, he quickly incants a spell, the gemstone atop his staff shining blue and then--

A seawyrm appears in the air, sending a mighty spray of utterly pure water at the curse itself.]

[respring]

[ There is now a large portal to a blueish-green....place open on the lawn behind everyone, accompanied by the sound of moving water and crashing waves.

Sakura has her bow and arrows lined up on her arm, but the portal is growing bigger ever so slightly. ]

Be careful around the gate! Toss in anything you need to get rid of! Once it goes in there it's difficult to get back out!

[soupervillain]

Get rid of, huh? [ can he knifebat you into the portal? He's gonna try and knifebat you into the portal. ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Well gosh, with all these people unloading ridiculousness, Karen almost feels redundant. Almost. She flies around the now-battlefield at high speed, and fires off a by-now-familiar attack.]

Precure Sapphire Arrow!

[Lots of it, actually. That's still a bow, right? It seems to be operating more like a machine gun now.]
