thefoundation | FINAL CONFRONTATION.

[The curse will leave its two vessels to fight on their own. Its attention is going to be diverted, after all, what with those attacks focused on it specifically.

Gil opens up with a rather powerful attack too, one that leaves the curse screaming. That much force and power hurts, and it's making the curse mad.]

You just want to take everything away from me, huh?! I'LL KILL YOUUUUU!

[Gil, and the people around Gill, will end up getting a blast of miasma directed at them. It's trying to corrupt them with the miasma, to drive up their miasma levels.]

[Ky was tense, to say the least, as he approaches the cloud, lightning - blue, almost white firing off with every step, as he extends his hand forward, as a blue circle of lightning appears around one of the large clouds, as four plasma pillars formed, taking the shape of crosses]

The future has come, hope still lives - I will bring my back out of your darkness! I will shield my friends, support my allies, and I will the lightning that smites the wicked!

No matter how justified you and your mother are in your rage, you have no right to rob the happiness and lives of others!

[With a gesture, the electric crosses smashes together attempting to pin the curse, as he follows up with an upward thrust, launching a comet-shaped mass of lightning]

ZWEI VOLTAGE!

[He does quickly try to avoid the miasma blast, crying out as he could feel the corruption starting to course through him once more]

[The seawyrm is gone in a flash as Mitsuru quickly chants another song, creating a swirl of powerful wind aiming to blow the miasma back and away from his fellow attackers.]

[Syaoran himself can't do any direct attacks at the miasma but-]

Fuuka Shourai!!

[he's going to make an attempt to use his wind magic to divert the miasma away from them since he's already on wind barrier duty]

[ She will stand behind the other two, and hold a spell in the palm of her hand. It's glowing red as she charges it...

She will let the spell go in the next turn because she's super charging Holy ]

[ What a pain, eh.

Gilgamesh wasn't exactly in the mood to get hit with miasma, so he'll just leap out of the way, and bring out a few staves that were still easy to activate even in his current state, blasting what remained of the miasma still in his general vicinity with light magic.

He'll just redouble his efforts in pelting the damn thing with holy/blessed objects to kingdom come. ]

Of course I do. You tried the same of us, remember?

Or do you honestly believe you're the only being in the universe that deserved to commit wrongs against others and not be punished for it? The sheer amount of insolence on your part is mind-numbing.

[Pinning the curse proves to be difficult, as it is like a liquid: malleable, and easy to shift around. While it does feel some of the electrocution, it can shift its body out of the way. Conversely, the wind is much more effective at changing the curse's direction. It lets out an anguished noise as it lashes out, attempting to reach for those around it but ultimately blocked by the gusts of wind.

The holy weapons, though, that really gets the curse screaming.]

It's all your fault! You destroyed mother's home, you killed her! You take and take and don't think about how it affects anyone else! You wronged us, and I'll kill you for it!

[Anything that's not bolted down- chairs, tables, discarded weapons, anything in the house- is getting flung at the PCs now. Even if the curse can't quite reach them, maybe the objects can.]

[Karen... would have had trouble dodging the miasma, but with others driving it back it becomes a simple matter. And the objects are easier--child's play, really, they aren't even gigantic or exploding.]

It isn't about killing--it's about wanting to protect this world, and the people we care about!

[And she has a theory about a thing. An Aqua Stream, used conventionally, didn't do much to the miasma. But it certainly had some effect, and here's the thing about that attack and its upgrade: they can be continuous. She summons the Aqua Ribbon--her "sword hilt," most people would recognize it as.]

The rock-crushing torrent of a young girl's outpourings--take this! Precure Aqua Tornado!

[And she keeps up the pressure, while flying around as irregularly as she can manage so as not to become an easy target.]

[He could feel lt, it wouldn't be long until he's kicked out of the tree. With the winds, and Karen's water, he saw something, he starts channeling, sending lightning into the stream far enough upstream that it wouldn't send back shocks to Karen]

[HECK YEAH SHE LIKES THAT A LOT BETTER NOW THAT IT'S GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION]

[okay, yeah - glitter sword is coming out, guys.

which means that yes. anyone around Syaoran is getting pink glittered. you're welcome. but he's going to be closing his eyes to concentrate and slice up any items that try to come in the direction of any of the living characters.

after that's said and done, though-]

...

You know - doesn't that make you a hypocrite? You're doing the exact same thing.

[ She's going to let go of the spell in her hands and launch a large white orb at the miasma baby or babiasma! ]

Holy!

[ Her attention was so focused on the spell, she is going to get hit by a flying chair hard. Ouch! She's let out a yell as she hits the ground. ]

[A gust of wind gently pushes her back on her feet before she can hit the ground, actually.]

And who do you believe your mother wronged first? As she continued to fuel her own wretched desires, who do you think suffered for it? Or is their suffering meaningless when you're not feeling the consequences?

[ Better yet...he'll nod in the direction of Syaoran's words while he'll repell things sent his way with more of his weaponry to keep them from hitting him.

Suffice to say, it didn't interrupt his onslaught on the creature in the slightest. Eventually, he was sure it'll weaken under the wind, water, holy weapon, and whathaveyou barrage. ]

How about you be more honest than that? You don't really care she died, do you? You just want to be able to do whatever you wish without the repercussions for it!

[The water does an effective job at keeping the curse pinned down, and the electricity flowing through it strikes true. The follow up with the holy attacks also seem to be helping a lot, and everyone present will see the strength of the curse start to waver. The area the curse takes up seems to shrink, and instead of yells everyone will start to hear bitter sobs.]

I'll kill you...I'll kill you...I don't wanna die...I don't wanna die!

[It tries to lash out, but its strength is weakened and can be easily repelled.]

Nobody wants to die, that's life, from humans to spiders, even to the little flies trapped in webs.

[He moves to repel with jolts]

Just as your mother resented the death of your siblings and herself, we resented being killed for revenge against those long dead. Now, do you understand how everyone feels?

[Karen... keeps her attack going, but lets up on the pressure. Just a little.]

Is there a way this doesn't end with you or us dying?

[ah...

this feels like a child throwing a tantrum at this rate. but instead of answering, he'll go ahead and repel with another wind spell-]

Fuuka Shourai!

Nobody wants to die - but all you are is just... this now, aren't you? No - maybe you weren't anything more than that to begin with.

[ She was caught by a wind. Just going to summon her mace into her hands and hold it like a baseball bat. ]

Are we going to kill it?

[ She will wait for orders from everyone else. ]

Nobody wants to die. The desire of all living beings is to live. Even in the face of adversity, it will do its best to live. We may not be able to turn back the time to when your mother died, but causing more pain over pain will never be the solution. You will only be making your own pain worse.

[ is he talking while trying to fight battler? absolutely. ]

We do not wish to kill you and much less out of revenge. We want you to finally find the peace that you truly long for so you can finally pass on.

[ "I don't wanna die...I don't wanna die!"

Gilgamesh thought back to the beginnings of the week, of this whole entire thing, when the doors slammed shut on them, and hearing the slaughter of the people still stuck outside.

He thought of the horror each and every one of them faced, and the ignoble deaths dealt upon them, while the curse just laughed and laughed at them.

He thought of the struggles that were made, what Haku's struggles may have been in his last moments, Zabuza's attempts to free them which would be in vain as he would continue to presume, Seteth's sacrifice. The look of fear on Roma—Soloman's face, that in his mind alternated between that and whatever determination he'd manage to tear from him. The warmth that threatened to come in whatever moments they were able to share, which was snuffed out most of the time due to their suffering.

Then, Hikage's own end, Date losing his mind in following suit, Crow's sacrifice, Subete's assholish desperation, the forced tearing of bonds in the end, the green-haired child's sorrow...

Even a certain detective (Dazai) gave it his all, despite them being of vast opinions and incurring arguments. He remembered Ky's last stand.

And to think that the consequences of this mission made the 6350's suffer. And after all of that. It begged to not die.

He just, fucking laughed and continued to just laugh. And he didn't slow down in his onslaught at all.

It was like the funniest shit he's ever heard in his life. It was insulting and hilarious at the same time. ]

You should've thought of that before you did what you've done!!

[ Oh. This is why Cinque likes him! ]

[ ...Well, it sounds like things are getting kind of ridiculous in there at this point, so HE GUESSES HE CAN JUST DO IT...

Lugs this fucking hose across the lawn... ]

[ AND SPRAYS!!!!!!

SUCK IT, CURSE!!!!!!!! ]
