    "Eh, I don't see why not. Go ahead and fry them." Yuki shrugs and grins under armor. "I'll go see who that voice comes from."

    And he walks cautiously toward the source of the purple colored voice.

    "Change" will follow the hammer-armed freak out of the surgical area to go and see what exactly is going to happen. If nothing else, it's sure to be interesting. For now, though, she remains silent.

    Dok Chop also follows.

    "Come on, Kilt! I'm tired of sitting around! It's time that we take this city by storm!"

    The door to the offices opens and Kilt barges out. "I'm sorry, Eunich, did you just challenge me? I thought I made it clear last time that if you did that again something you actually used would be removed."

    "I don't have anything to fear from a nun," the challenger replies.

    Kilt looks confused. "I'm just going to assume that was an insult. But look, I'm in a good mood and you're useful. If you walk away now, I'll pretend this never happened."

    The challenger's reply is profanity. Kilt answers with far more artistic profanity and spins up her saw.

    The challenger (Eunich?) charges forward to smash Kilt with his hammer. Kilt dodges, striking back with her saw... which Eunich parries. It goes back and forth for a bit, neither one gaining a real edge... until Kilt knocks the hammer aside with enough force to make an opening and proceeds to punch him in the face.

    And a few seconds later, a kidney.

    A weapon lock is broken, and punctuated by a kick to the knee, driving Eunich to the ground.

    Kilt then walks away, and pulls out a pistol from just inside her Kilt. She then empties it into him.

    Shen then walks over and shows no lick of mercy. Suffice to say the only thing remotely salvageable is the hammer arm; everything else needs a mop and bucket.

    And then Kilt looks to the crowd.

    "I didn't want to kill him. He was tough as all get out, a good fighter, and useful. But I did because he was an idiot. ARE THERE ANY OTHER IDIOTS IN THE AUDIENCE?"

    "No?"

    "Good."


    Kilt then turns to go back into the offices.

    Change stretches and goes over to poke the corpse.

    The metal armo should disconnect from the rest of the body. Assuming this happens, Change will carry the arm over to the Dok, "You can use this, right?"

    The arm is a left arm, the same one that Kilt has her saw on. "Yeah, we'll have someone patch it up and Dok'll attach it to however earns it." She looks down at the mess. "Someone clean this up." Kilt is distracted, eying the arm with... annoyance? She's very upset about something about that arm.

    Change will hand the arm to Dok.

    ... And then stand still, not actually sure what she should be doing. She'll look around at everybody, just trying to think about what she can do that's fun. Fun being transformations.

    Kilt sighs. "I don't know." She then walks away.

    Dok slings the arm over his shoulder and begins to walk toward the surgical area. "Man, dere's got to be eight freaks dat've earned dis arm. Choosin one's gonna be 'ard fer 'er."

    What the hell was that?

    Probably a decent idea not to dwell on it too much.

    "Asking 'where' in a place that isn't spatially static is kind of a silly question. You're where you are and that's the best you can do! How am I supposed to tell you what's to come next?

    "I was hoping maybe for some sort of advice or something." Jake mumbled quietly to himself. "Well, yeah, I suppose that's true. My future is my own, and to depend on another to find it is weak. Thanks, I guess."
    The girl he was talking to - he still hadn't gotten her name - was strange, to say the least; while she had taken human form, Jake couldn't help but feel that she was more than that, as if she was a being of power. Perhaps not omnipotent, but she... knew things. Jake didn't know how, but he knew that she did.
    The pear that he had been given was now reduced to its core, and Jake kept it in his pocket, not wanting to litter but not bothered to look around for a trash can. "Want a chocolate?" He asked, digging into his other pocket and pulling out a small milk chocolate bar. "I owe you for the pear, and I'd rather not leave debts unpaid."

    "Weak?"
    the odd woman replies, wrinkling her nose a bit as she accepts the chocolate bar. The candy is unwrapped and slowly eaten in a completely normal and not at all creepy fashion. "Deferring to the judgement of others to help make a decision isn't weak. If the only person holding you up is you then who will catch you when you fall?"

    Yep.

    Most certainly weird.

    She's just talking around in circles.

    Once the chocolate bar is finished she sticks her tongue out of the corner of her mouth slightly before hopping up and grabbing an overhanging branch of the now full-sized pear tree. She hauls herself up and loops her lags over the branch.

    Welp. She's hanging upside down now.

    "Thanks for the chocolate bar. It was good!"

    Dok places the arm in the area and says, "Be roit bak, make yerself comfy." He will then head back out.

    After a minute, he will get back with one of the few freaks that change might recognize: that one quiet freak that she ran into with the other two. He looks at Change, and then at Dok quizzically.

    Change will walk up to the Freak and place her hand on his chest. After a moment of pain, his right arm should end up as a massive robotic scythe, with a blocky design similar to the one in the picture.

    He may also feel like he's a bit too full, given she just gave him double of every major organ. He now runs with the efficiency of two humans at once! the double heartbeat may be a bit disconcerting though. He's even got a redundant nervous system.

    The quiet freak will take a swing or two with the blade, seemingly happy with it. He then looks down at himself. "What else did you change, gal?" he asks curiously.

    The Dok rolls his eyes. He doesn't know, either, but figures that the kid could afford to go experiment.

    And what just what is Mel up to?

    Pressing his secondary hands to and leaning his forehead against the display wall, Melbourne whispers, almost sings to it. Not in English, Mer, not in any normal language, but in the song of deep magic, the tongue of the ocean and the leviathans that rule it.

    Concentric ripples spread outwards on the glass from Melbourne touches it, then the wall draws back entirely, creating a doorway into the display behind. With a grunt Mel hoists himself up and scuttles his crustacean bulk through, stuffing the wire into his pockets before heading for his own prize.

    I think the Merkin might have been expecting a slightly more... flashy sort of distraction. Or possibly, a more lethal one.

    In either case, Pepperjack will need to think of something fast if he doesn't want the guard to see what his 'pal' is up to.
    [Hall of Heroism]

    Pepperjack flicks the brim of his bowler hat so that it falls and balances on his shoulder. "Does it have an attendant?" He asks, not breaking stride, "I do prefer to have someone waiting with a hot towel, you know?" Shifting to the side he lets his hand roll down his arm and into his hand. Passing it behind him he pulls a yellow handkerchief out of his pocket and places it in his hat. "It's quite refreshing. You should try it some time." With his other hand he pushes his hat at the guard's face. The napkin should knock him out, like chloroform. It's boorish to kill someone for free.

    You could kill me, right here and now, with enough pressure to my neck, take everything you want, and then escape into the skies before my robots or other clones could do any more than leave some mild scorch marks on your scales."


    Magtok pauses for dramatic effect, to let everything he just said really sink in.

    "I only look powerful so long as you and everyone else continues to do exactly what I want you to do. So long as everyone only looks at the carefully crafted image and not reality, I'm fine. So long as you all overestimate me, Remnant's not going to do a clean sweep through my Cave and gun down everyone in it, WATCH doesn't have the gonads to insist I submit to regular inspections for potentially apocalyptic material, and the Wall's Pest of the Month takes his business elsewhere when he's looking for someone to invade. The only reason I'm even telling you any of this is, of course, is because the lie's been woven so well, nobody would ever really believe it. Not when I killed a deity on live television, right?"

    Armored!Yuki throws a questioning look to Kirlia. "New entity. You recognize her? Should I investigate?"

    "I hope you do have a plan, because by the sound of things there's more of them chasing whoever that is ahead of us."

    Xenodemons behind them, xenodemons in front of them...

    "Alternately, if you were just planning on hitting them until they all fall down, may I suggest we wait for the person being chased and assist her in retreating to the surface and then come back with a better plan?"

    "Well...there's always this!"
    Focusing energy into her hands, she concentrated.
    "So...anyone care if I just fry them?"


    [Sewers: Still With Kirlia, Yuki, Creations, and Caustic Demons]

    One acquires armor, one prepares an attack, the other tries to inspire a plan.

    Meanwhile, the pile of rubble separating them from the horde on the other side is rapidly dissolving. Each portion that dissolves, reveals more monsters trying to push themselves through the hole.

    Mere moments remain.

    And on their opposite end, comes running a woman in a billowing cloak, purple runes swirling around the air in her presence and periodically shooting off behind her to erect barrier walls.

    Each time, stopping a different clump of monsters from rushing past towards their fleeing prey.


    She doesn't seem panicked though, but rather annoyed.
    Assuming no one decides to attack her, the woman stop a fair distance away from the group, to catch her breath and look them over.
    Kirlia, specifically.

    Not saying anything yet, just watching and breathing, as runes swirl about and continue with their barrier-forming duties.

At least not that quickly and to that degree. Enough of a chill to turn gas into a solid is probably more than what any natural anti-freeze the monster contains will be able to handle.

    An ear twitches at the cry of warning and Sigil whirls around! Well bugger. Four more. And with their proximity too much area denial could hurt his friends. So instead? Instead he sings the song of Lurue, Queen of Dusk and Dawn. And at the invocation power streams from the Silver Forest to empower the mote of thermal energy which now shines with beautiful ardent light.

    The silver brand is launched at the demon closest to AJ. Should it strike it'll burst into a blaze of holy silver flame and righteous retribution against these abominations of all that is good. Those pure of heart have little to fear from the wrath of the alicorn queen.

    Hopefully that will incapacitate at least one of the creatures.

    Magtok feels like an idiot. Of course. Big distracting monster up in front, slippery horde sneaking in from behind. He'd call the things clever girls, if he wasn't sure one of those dumb ponies would vainly assume he was talking about them. Besides, he's already used enough movie references down here. Any more and people are going to start confusing him with that idiotic Deadpool guy or something.

    "Tell me if you're going to freeze anything else, Sigil! My gun does exactly the opposite!"

    Speaking of which, it's about time this thing saw some use, isn't it? Magtok swings the weapon around, pulls the trigger, aaaand...

    ...

    Nothing? No death beam, no bright lights or screechy noises or bolts of energy? No heavenly choirs or wailing death metal roars? Well that's not very exciting. What the weapon lacks in visual appeal, however, it makes up for in sheer firepower. An invisible beam of death attempts to swiftly turn any and all xenomorphs caught in its path to a immobile, harmless, steaming puddle of goo. He keeps one eye on that tunnel, though. Whatever's coming that way can't be anything good.


    [Welcome to Carapaced Hell, Little Ponies]

    Luna grimaces, shaking off the ill-feeling to release her magic, a stream of spell energy trailing out to hold the monsters in position.

    They can't hurt what they can't reach, yes? She will keep her charges safe...

    And it works beautifully for Magtok's ray, to clip towards the targets not blocked by pony-bodies.
    Which seems to be the demons crawling along the upper portions of the wall, and one of which is shortly sliding down as a mass of ooze... Nasty little weapon.


    Two warnings.
    That's more than enough for Applejack to snap her head around, assess the situation, and snap a rear hoof up into the nearest demon's...where their head probably should be.

    There is a sharp crack as carapace splinters, a loud hiss as dark caustic blood is released, and a pained cry as it greets a leg.

    "HEY! HOW ABOUT YOU BACK OFF?"
    Fluttershy roars, snapping the other ponies out of their shocked looks just long enough to watch the normally demure pegasus proceed to slam down on the monster's back with her two forehooves.

    There is an fierce rush of flames around the creature, and when she flits to the side, to pull Applejack to the side, there is nothing left but a burnt out husk.

    Rarity wastes absolutely no time in quickly darting over, ducking under the energy released from Sigil to intercept the next demon in line.
    Her horn gleams, and a stream of cloth is quickly produced.
    "Oh goodness, Applejack...Fluttershy, help me tie this scarf around her leg!"

    The Sigil-struck demon burns in place, although perhaps...slower, than the holy wrath of his attack would be expected to inflict.
    Curious.

    Pinkie Pie, meanwhile, seems to be trying to pounce Sigil?
    "Moooooove!"

    Just as the frozen husk of a monster he created moments before shatters, a smaller snake abomination tearing outwards from somewhere beyond, lancing out towards where he's standing with a very lethal speed.

    [Oh No Not the Acid Blood!]

    Sigil isn't fond of xenomorphs. Nor of those demon things that have been infecting Nexus life like a slowly creeping malignant growth. The two of them together is just terrible.

    This is starting to tickle something in the back of his mind now. His Mother had to deal with these creatures once before, right? It comes rather sharply into focus when the orange earth pony gets doused with caustic goop. Aside from the no doubt horrific injury that results there's another danger.

    Corruption.

    "Rarity! Give Applejack the silver charm, hurr-OOF!"


    And then he gets tackled clear by Pinkie Pie! Seems the Pinkie Sense just saved the day. Sigil's back had been turned and that thing probably would have done something pretty awful to him otherwise. The unicorn does his best to right himself and tries to focus on the massive monster. The others seem to be holding the smaller creatures at bay. But letting this new one flank them could be trouble.

    There's not time to freeze it. So Sigil tries for something else instead. A little more energy intensive, but with just as much stopping power and a more immediate impact.

    A scintillating beam lances out of his horn, taking a zig-zagging path toward the monster. Should it strike true the spell will discharge a potent temporal displacement field. Getting launched five minutes into the future won't kill the monster. But at least they won't have to deal with it for a while.

    "How many are left?"
    Sigil calls out.

    Magic vision shows that whatever that box is made of is blocking most of whatever magical energy it might contain. Some is leaking out, enough to be harmless, but it isn't terrestrial magic. That's for sure.

    Ace, meanwhile, notices the dragon's interest. "It's a piece of a star," she says. "From mom's home reality. That thing puts out astral magic like you wouldn't believe. None of us have found a way to directly harness it, though. So it sits in a box."

    Jace and Zebes look at each other for a second. Then they look away, with Jace smiling and Zebes giving a quiet, hissy chuckle.
    That is awesome. I didn't know stars star could fragment, but it's still awesome. The thought of a font of magic power that big gives Jace goosebumps. Not that he'd ever be crazy enough to actually be near one when exposed, but still.

    [Oh! Ask her what the thingie next to it is!]
    [You're not going to go through that entire shelf, are you?]
    [Well I'm sorry that my peanut-sized brain can't conjure up a longer attention span!]
    Jace sighs, and relays the request. He could point out that Zebes' brain is entirely magic and therefore its size is irrelevant, but that would just ruin the fun.
