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.

[ "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!!

[whirlingmace]

[ Oh. This is why Cinque likes him! ]

[For a moment, the curse pulls back. Waiting, watching, trying to see if it can escape. If it can't kill, then maybe it can at least live and grow later. And seeing everyone stop to consider, it makes it think that maybe, just maybe it will survive this.

But Solomon's attempts at reassurance are not what it wanted to hear, and Gil's laughter just confirms it. So the curse shrieks once more, and it lashes out. It pulls itself down to the ground, under the sprays of water from Karen and Saphir. It ducks down under the blast of wind. It hugs close to the ground, sliding across it like a million tiny spiders scurrying about.

It's going for everyone's feet, to try and crawl upwards and catch everyone from there.]

[zweivoltage]

[Damn it - of course it wouldn't be that easy! He never had an enemy beg for their life. As it hugs close and attempts to grab, he somersaults into the air, firing an electric bolt downwards.

Ah.

Time's up. In a flash, where Ky was in mid-air An uprooted tree reappears crashing into the ground]

[GOOD THING SHE'S IN BULLSHIT WINGS MODE HUH

Congratulations, curse, Cure Aqua is now 50% more pissed off at you, which is Precurese for her attacks are suddenly even stronger. Here, have some Sapphire Arrows hitting the ground in a circle to try to restrict your movements.]

[whirlingmace]

[ OH HELL NO

She is just going to slam her mace down hard against the curse. ]

That's not very fair of you!

[ Who knows if it'll even work ]

[excavated]

[UH]

Fuuka Shourai!!

[anyone who's around and alive will immediately be lifted up in the air to stay away from the curse so he's got y'all covered on that front]

[respring]

[ she go upsies

ah man she's so tired she's going to pass out when this is over ]

[excavated]

[SAME GODDAMN HAT]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[...tumbles a little. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING WE ARE EXPERIENCING SOME SLIGHT TURBULENCE AND I'VE ONLY ACTUALLY FLOWN LIKE TWICE BEFORE]

[excavated]

[don't worry he has control over it so the wind itself is actually surprisingly gentle so he'll make sure she doesn't fall or suddenly flip over or anything]

[finalring]

[ and that's when the magical circles begin appearing on the ground, this time a holy, burning light coming out of them, similar to when he built the barrier, 20 years ago.

he levitates a few feet above the ground, grimacing. ]

Please help anyone that can't levitate! Don't let them get pulled in!

[merirut]

Hmph, you'll never escape your true nature, I suppose.

[So he might as well help here, considering there's a number of them ground-bound and he's not. So he'll launch dozens and dozens of beams of light from where he's hovering in the air to cut through as much of the miasma as he can without hitting any of the others.

Also if someone needs to get picked up to avoid the spider miasma, he can do that too.]

[killtheanimals]

[Gross. The wind spirit takes him up into the air, although once he realizes Syaoran is doing the same thing with his wind barrier he dismisses his summon and allows Syaoran's magic to support him.

You know.

That way he can send flame magic racing over the curse spiders instead.]

[sageking]

[ If he hadn't already lept into the air (spoilers, he did), he certainly had now. Levitating was such a simple thing for him, anyway.

Though the rain of weapons had a different place to come from. Instead of higher up, it was closer to the ground, pelting the multitude of spiders easily, and easily able to angle holy weaponry no matter where it went. People being moved out of the way made it less of a chore and he had great control over trajectory.

He also brought out fast moving treasures, making sure to make it have a difficult time. ]

[houndumb]

I REALLY FREAKIN' HATE SPIDERS EVEN MORE AFTER THIS.

[Nora in this form cannot fly but since he's part of the mini-party that includes one (1) floating box and one (1) flappy angry angel that means he's hanging out in the air already before you can blink. I honestly have no idea what's happening in his fight with the Vessel in the meantime but currently he's making a terrible face at the floor spiders.]

I dunno what the hell is going on with this an' I don't care! Eat this, Anemos Magia!

[This is another spell that pulls a particularly large volume of magic, Nora snarling as he aims his palm downwards at the ground: Wind God's Breath sends multiple large cyclones crashing down into the swarm of miasma spiders, flinging them every which way probably and at least crushing a decent swathe.

This is what you get for interrupting an angry demon dog just tryin' to have some good fight times. >:(]

[visionem]

Are you done? Allow me to help you along, for nothing will stand in the way of judgement delivered by the many. [ He's been floating this whole time, but with a consensus reached he holds both arms out fanning his hands outwards as a warm glow encircles his body.

It is now raining shooting stars in the curse's vicinity, which is you guessed it, almighty magic. It's tremendously destructive as well as pretty. ]

[foundationmods]

[The onslaught stops the curse in its tracks. It screams as it feels Gio and Battler, its last two pawns, pulled from its grasp. All of its ghosts and vessels are gone, taken away from it. All that remains is the curse itself.

All of the water, wind, lightning, and holy attacks, and everything else? It enough to beat it back again, weakening it further and further. It tries to claw its way back up, but it just can't. Everyone's combined efforts are too much for it.]

No....no...Stop!

[One more push should do it. Will you fight on, or spare it?]

[finalring]

We will not stop! [ now that battler is dealt with, he will continue his onslaught of holy attacks.

he had had enough of the curse. of the people it had taken the lives of and the lives that it ruined. ]

This will be the end of you!

[killtheanimals]

Finally.

[It was resistant to the end, which is almost admirable... if it weren't such a wretched thing to begin with.]

Let's put it out of its misery.

[finalguard]

That went smoothly enough... Let's be done with it.

[ #TeamMurder always. ]

[respring]

I....don't think we can do that. I'm sorry.

[ It tricked them once. What if it did it again? This feels so hypocritical of her after the things she said to Rin today, and she seems reluctant to call up another of her arrows, but Sakura's made her choice.

They can't possibly let it go, baby or not. ]

[failsaw]

The fuck is anybody hesitating for? Kill it!

[merirut]

Let's put an end to this farce.

[A glowing disc of light appears above his head, and--]

Paradise Lost!

[He'll make sure to tone it down for everyone so they don't leave a crater in the lawn, but needless to say, spiderbaby will probably eat shit with this.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[She hesitates briefly, but she shakes her head.]

We won't fall for it again. Precure Aqua Tornado!
