She awoke to a golden sky.

The scenery had changed, again, and Rellan could only groan as she propped herself up on an elbow and looked around.

God only knew how she’d managed not to die a thousand deaths while whatever happened here – she mentally gestured at everything around her – happened. A quick huff of breath and she hopped up gingerly. The last thing she remembered was being super cool and hitting some soldiers. She’d gotten hit with a Reflective Attack and while it hurt it wasn’t what knocked her out. She remembered taking the damage from the Reflective Attack and being thrown back some. She landed, toes first then roll back to the heel, and then…

“MOSS?!” Rellan screamed, stomping a foot childishly. “How the ever living fuckshit did I slip on MOSS?!

It was another question for another time…or however that saying went. A quick tap of her temple caught her up to speed on what the dealio was and it was hard for her not to be a little elated. She was still here!! Somehow!! Not to mention the tentacles that were sprouting from the wounds on her body didn’t even hurt…all that much. Nor were they terrifying because this, ladies and gentlemen, was just a god damned game and there was no way she would actually have those when she logged out. Or anything creepy like that.

The martial artist groaned and stood still for a moment and blinked. Yeah, she felt terrible. Yeah, she wanted this all to just stop so she could go back to pleasuring the every so lonely wives of some ho-dunk village in the world. But since it was most certainly not going away, Rellan decided to do the only option left to her; beating the ever loving shit out of that huge eye.

Steeling her mind as much as she possibly could Rellan dashed towards the eye, ending up in ZH. As soon as she was close enough Rellan assumes a traditional Jujitsu stance, placing both hands near her hips, palms open and forward. She steps forth and lances out with both hands, striking the fleshy goodness of the huge eye, and halting the strike at the exact point of impact. Rellan ignored the pain of getting yet another stack of dissonance while she landed exactly seven more rapid fire punches to the eye as fast as she could.

D'vangeline once again rose to her feet and all Haru could do was sigh in relief at his success. "Good to see you up again. How are you-" As much as he would like to continue, his usual proceedings were met with an interruption of a loud, furious, and horrific nature. Titatius had finally grown sick of the people plaguing it, it seems, and the low hum in the back of his mind had returned full-force with horrible screams that clawed at his mind.

The dissonance on his body grew to a peak with Titanius' cry and exploded from Haru's form, tentacles writhing and tearing at his flesh. With a cry he falls to the ground as his mind was awashed with a calm that relaxed his muscles and let him sprawl on the flesh of the stomach he was in. He had no idea how long this had lasted, what with all the information sprawling through his mind, yet he eventually came back into focus upon the sight of a beautiful golden barrier protecting them.

...He needed a break...

While Madison's magic chipped away at Lucia's wounds, she could feel some foreign, yet all too familiar magic envelope her. Much to her surprise, the tentacles that were hanging off her began to dance in a different way--as if they were struggling against some unknown force trying to pull them from her body.

The witch looked around for the source of this attack on the Dissonance overtaking her. A short distance away, the familiar face of the felis @Lycia shone while she worked her spell with a pair of finger cymbals.

This time, her kidness was considerably more useful and welcome than when they were fighting rats in the basement of that rich old idiot's mansion.

Madison shot the girl a pair of thumbs up, and then immediately looked around for @Milah, expecting a sucker punch and a few teeth knocked loose by the bratty older sister. Thankfully, it was a piece of delicious irony that would never come.

Looking around, the cursemage glared at the Gargantuan Gaze plastered on the nearby surface of Titanius's stomach.

Enough was enough, she decided. I have pizza in the fridge, I work tomorrow, I have a fucking life to get back to!

Big Tits had to die.

Maddy shuffled up once more, resolve and fury etched on her bird-like features. Fanning the deck out in her hands, she ripped a card free and looked at it.

TEN OF SWORDS

And the goddamn thing had the audacity not to be reversed. She immediately frowned, her gaze narrowing at the old doodle drawn by an untrained hand at the soldier, face-down in the field, ten swords sticking out of his back. This was not a good omen at all. Not ever; but especially not right now, when she needed a bit of rainbows and unicorns the most.

"Fuck it," she muttered as she threw the card into the air anyway. It immediately ignited with a green glow, and the thorns of her vines grew twice as long and twice as sharp. Penetrating her flesh, they began to ooze a dark liquid from her tips.

Madison grit her teeth and clenched her eyes as she felt the serum flow through her. The fog in her mind was swept away, replaced by pure, unbridled rage. She bit through her lower lip. Blood began to flow, trickling into her mouth and staining her teeth.

She unwrapped herself from her vines, and began shuffling up for her next hand, a primal scream building in her throat.

And suddenly, everything went dark. Charlotte's eyes blanked out for a moment as Titania itself started fusing with them. It hit her like a flood.

The faces, the voices, the memories, the people. Everything.

Useless piece of shit. You're worthless. Go away. A disappointment. Yes, yes, blame me, but we both know it's YOUR fault! Shut up! With that attitude, you're getting nowhere! Stop drinking so much! Just kill yourself. How does it feel working five years in a fast-food chain? Don't kid yourself, we were never together. I beg of you! Drinking won't make your problems go away. Charlotte please, we beg of you, stop this! Please! I know your type, bitch, pretending you're so much better so you just feel a tiny bit less worthless yourself. No more! Well, have some news babe, you're just as much of a piece of shit as I am. ... How about you start being more like your sister? One more t—

"STOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPP!" Her cry resounded with Ivan's mental voice. Tears flowing down her face. "This... you..." And they wouldn't stop. Her voice distorted. Her will to fight, broken. "Horrible..." She... had to get out of here, right now. "I... I..." A portal? Yes, right, that is what she needed. "I didn't sign up for a trip down memory lane..." It was way too early for that, too.

Cel ran off towards the respite that the Bearer of the Waifu Shield was providing. It wasn't far at all, and once there, she couldn't help but take a moment to breathe from the non-stop action of the past several hours.

Try as she might, Celestine was finding it harder and harder to ignore the gross, mind-shattering nastiness around her. The person in the ice ball (@Yule) did make her giggle a bit though... if only for a short moment that was quickly interrupted by a freaky session of mind tripping.

All the moments Cel would've liked to forget: that nasty argument with her parents about the name change, the friends she'd lost from going 'too far' with her quirks. Yet oddly enough, something deep inside her felt this was okay. What would be so bad with fusing, right now... fuse and consume the world? Gain the power to make it what she wanted? Not too bad of a deal...

Perhaps Celestine may have run straight into the 'walls' of this vile creature, to be absorbed forever, if not for a sudden voice and a portal forming behind her. A fresh, salty breeze, and relatively clean water... it beat squid juice any day. Without so much as a second of hesitation, Cel hopped back up and through the portal... along with a 'friend'...

With a deep frown, Lucia had been trying to recover only to be swallowed up. The bite marks were staved off largely by Alice's efforts, the chitin plate had done it's job in protecting her body making her relieved. Pain for her was still turned up high after all, it was still a struggle for her no doubt, but in truth the moment she'd managed to free herself with a strained face, the acid rain had finally started to penetrate some of her armor making her wince. The burning sensation was unpleasant, absolutely that searing pain was something she couldn't find in reality, but she staved it off with a force of will. Greater pain then her reality she thought couldn't exist, that thought made her bare it with grit teeth up until Madison began supporting her. A bit relieved, she glanced downward. "Alice, use the energy to make repairs, quick." She spoke, the chitin armor beginning to form up thickening and firming up after being rocked and shattered by the teeth. It wasn't up to the standards of her own healing potential but was certainly enough. "@Madison Freebird, thanks~ I'm counting on you. Keep doing your best okay~" She urged with a gentle smile.

Lucia glanced towards the other girl who had been caught up with her in the chaos, the sounds the woman made were harrowing. She didn't have the same benefits of thick armor like Lucia it seemed. Though Lucia praised Alice's efforts for arming her to the teeth internally she glanced with sympathy to the woman who called out to her and searched for her desperately. "Ah, she's cute." Lucia murmured, a mellow smile on her face, even in the heat of an event, Lucia couldn't help sighing at how special and lovely these fellows playing with her could be. Gesturing at @Shangri La Lucia chuckled melodiously. "I'm fine. I'm probably one of the most fine in truth. You though should take care of yourself. Feel free to come find me later if you're troubled." She offered, since the woman was nice enough to worry, Lucia wouldn't hold back her own assistance as she swept a hand at the woman releasing a ghostly image towards her. The spirit glowed with an eerie lavender color as it darted towards @Shangri La with arms open. Offering a gentle embrace it brought with it healing energies as it faded into the woman's body like a specter.

There was acid everywhere! Megan sprinted through the slimy, green, viscous liquid as she tried her best to get away. It seemed it didn't matter where she ran, however, as each time she neared a safe point, the monster would tilt spraying acid down from above. Screaming in frustration, Megan flung her staff about her wildly, sending shards of ice and each and every direction, some of which impaled the weird toothy eye thing. It was then she saw a portal. Abandoning any kind of struggle against the weird monster stomach thing, Megan ran for it. She'd finally be safe!

Getting dizzy, Yule brought her ice ball to a stop on top of the highest elevation possible. She then formed a mini-ice castle as a bunker. From the highground, she took advantage of the increased field of vision and range to fire a barrage of ice spears. Sitting in an ice chair within her bunker Yule smiled. She was comfy.

A nice sit! A nice sit indeed! Going home would be better, but this isn't bad! Not shabby at all!

If anyone wanted to enter her igloo, Yule would let them in, though mechanically, this would do absolutely nothing.

At some point in the months she had spent inside Terrasphere, she had stopped wondering why all the heartfelt and light moments eventually turned to some darker shade in the spectrum, entirely consumed by the negativity they brought with themselves.

The remnants of her will faded into nothing as well as the smile she had gifted to the new player. The tentacles around her arms welcoming the new apparitions that spawned around her body as they rejoiced at their master's presence, more than happy to harm their vessel in so doing.

''Stop it!'' The mind of Portia seemed to draw itself in as Titanius toyed with it as it pleased, bringing forth every situation both in-game and in real life that ever brought her pain. Instead of the occasional locks of silver clouding her vision, she saw gold strands of hair as she was yet again surrounded by the very same group who had commanded her every movement since she was born. How to dress, how to act, how to talk, how to smile... None of what she'd ever been in her entire life had been truly hers. She was nothing. She was no one, she was just a puppet, robbed of her will.

''Get out... Get out of my head!!'' No sooner had she finished shouting at no one in particular, the girl shut her eyes and with a deft movement of her hands, the claws from her gauntlets appeared. She hit both sides of her head multiple times before digging the metallic end of her fingers into her flesh, dragging them down in hopes of drawing blood and get whatever creature was inside her mind out.

''I DON'T WANT THIS!'' Portia's words came out louder than intended, and her throat felt unbearably parched afterward, just as if she had spent a century shouting without even realizing it. All around her, the iridescent light of her magic started to burn bright, flying towards an unknown objective before colliding either against the floor or the creature itself. She shouted a second time, but as the tears began falling down her bloodied cheeks, Ivan's words pulled her back to reality, as did the man who stood tall beside her, waiting for her to join him and run as a new environmental atrocity had caught up to their location.

She wiped numb fingers over her eyes and turned to @Raid. ''Yes... Let's.''

Well, Blake was here. She was trying her best to help the others, be it attacking or protecting, but Titanius was more than a foe. His presence, what he did, what he could do still... It was all so frightening, so scary, it left her shooking as she fend off the attacks from the tentacles. Yet, she couldn't stop moving, or else she would face the fate of many others. This wasn't like the wall... There, it was a combat. Here, it was a full-blown carnage.

But she knew some people from here. People who were at the core of this thing, give all they got to try and weaken this monster. And damn her if she was going to let them without any rewards for their efforts. She then noticed the rifts, and how D'va was giving her all to protect them, but it wasn't going to last long if they didn't close those darn things. Readying herself for a sprint, she bursted forwards with speed towards one of the rifts, but not making sure to stop by at the eye, which was close enough for offense.

Lifting her leg, she gave the eyeball a good roundhouse before unleashing a series of punches, trying to do as much damage as she could before hopping into the rift to avoid repercussion. Hey, she is a pussy after all, and pussies get to live.

'That fucking monster will pay.' The Faerin looked at the battlefield, some players were getting in the portals either to run away or to fight for the rifts. But there were still players willing to fight that aberration, and knew that he and his friends were ready to strike this creature no matter what.

"Right!" Hanno said determined as he was lifted and carried by the Caenis, that began running toward the Gaze. He held his friends shoulder, frowning at the sight of a few players being digested or terribly wounded by the acid. That thing had no limits, huh? His hands held Aristide's shoulders tighter, and a grin appeared on his mouth, and he couldn't hold it anymore. "Hahahahahaha!" He burted out a laugh, that mixed anger, nervousness and a hint of merriment. That fight he had against those wolves in the Brisshal was NOTHING compared to this, and he didn't even got to fight since the start.

Aristides then suddenly fell on his knees, and Hanno jumped out of their backs and crouched on the ground. He turned his eyes to his friend, a little worried.

That expression... He was also having fun, huh? The Faerin's grin widened. "I'M ON IT! LET'S GO TEAM!" He turned back to the gaze and charged toward it, giving a jump while charging a punch that connected on it with a strike. His fist penetrated the abomination, making him support his feet on the monster and jump backward, landing close to Aristides. The dissonance slowly spreaded more on his arm, making him flinch a bit, but that wasn't time to worry about THAT!

Defense.

He clenched his fist and covered his friend with a protective aura, glaring at the Gaze. "COME AT ME YOU DISGUSTING ABERRATION!"

Rivers regrouped with Futaba and Aristides just before the eyeball adjacent to them moved and spewed even more acid everywhere. As it flew overhead, Rivers's eyes rolled back into his home. Pain...there was so much...pain. If he melded with Titanius, there would no more pain. Everything would be numb and he'd be a part of something greater. Rivers fell to his hands and knees and convulsed until the burning of acid on his hands brought him back.

There was an awful lot of acid here. But, that wouldn't dissuade Rivers. They were so close. Rivers looked around, with the landscape changing he didn't know where @Raid had gotten off to. Rivers hoped his friend was okay. He heard some nasty things about the death effects in this game.

While Rivers was lost in thought, he didn't notice that his friends had moved for higher, non-acid drenched ground. As always, Futaba clung on Aristides's back. Rivers took off after them. He didn't want to get separated again if he could help it. And there wasn't much he could help in this fight.

The near area they'd run to was close to where the eye had moved. Good, punching that eyeball was oddly satisfied. Before he got the chance to go for his attack, Futaba had launched himself onto the eyeball. That little man was crazy. But in a good way. Like always down for a good time crazy, not murder your family crazy.

"ON MY WAY FUTABA!"

Rivers sprinted towards the eyeball and planted a dropkick right on it. Despite the burns on his feet and hands, despite his slipping sanity, this game was fun. You couldn't just dropkick an eyeball in any game.

"Eh? Hehe, back again so soon?"

"Hehehehe!"

"Hehe, I was just about to lie down and take a nap, hehe, good thing I didn't.

"Hehehe, wow, we're still trying to kill this eye thing? Hehehe, I thought this would have been done by now? Hehe."

"Hehehe, how long have we been in here? Has it been days? Hehe, it's hard to tell because we're inside a monster. What time is it? Hehe."

"No one knows? Hehehe, oh, what are these portals?"

"Eh? Hehe, there's portals now?"

"Yeah, hehehe, look around oh."

"Oh, there are portals? Do we go in them?"

"Hehehe, why? We can just hit this eyeball instead. Once the eyeball dies, maybe we can just go clean up everything else and it will be really easy?"

"Hehe, I like that plan."

"Hehehe, me too. Who even knows what's on the other sides of the portals?"

"Hehe, I think I some people in some of them?"

"Hopefully they don't mess anything up in there, hehehe, I don't want to die in this dumb stomach because they fail out there."

"Hehehe, well hopefully if we die they do to!"

"Be nice, hehehe! Besides, we have the eyeball to deal with anyway!"

"Hehehe, yeah, yeah, okay let's go! Hehehe, what's the plan?"

"Same thing as last time?"

"Hehehehe!"

"Let's try another team attack! Hehe."

"Hehehe, Domina Prime, do you have an idea? Hehehe."

"Hmmm... hehehe, what if we try black twenty two?"

The other Majolica's responded in unison.

"Hehehe, that works!"

"On go then!"

"1... go!"

The Majolicas charged out in single file line. As they ran, one Majolica jumped onto the others back. Then another jumped higher and landed on the previous one. This continued until there were a stack of Majolicas rushing towards the eyeball. Each Majolica braced themselves as they got nearer and nearer to their target. Finally, they made contact with each of them punching their hardest as they got into range.

"Hehehe! Majolica Nonuple Punch!"

After the Majolica's attack, each of them tumbled landing on the ground.

"COME AT ME YOU DISGUSTING ABERRATION!"

How did somebody so small have so much energy in that tiny body.

Aristides barked out a laugh as he stood back up to full height, watching @Hanno Futaba hurl himself at the eyeball with surprising amount of force for his size. He began to sink into his own fighting stance when something nailed him in the back of the head. Not hard enough to hurt, but there was enough force that he flinched and fumbled catching the mysterious object before he saw it was...broccoli? His ears caught a voice shout at him to eat it. Um. Okay. Broccoli was good for you, right? He popped it into his mouth and, to his immediate surprise, felt a rush of strength and stamina return to him. Was that healing magic?

Healing magic broccoli.

What was this game.

"Thank you for the vegetable!"

He tossed the gratitude back to the woman he'd heard, then turned his attention back to the eyeball with a glimmer of blood-lust in his eyes. His body wound up tight before he sprung, clawed hands slashing in rapid succession against the beast's slimy, disgusting flesh, ripping in deep with one strike while only taking a shallow graze with the other. As he moved, though, he felt the tentacles that had left his body begin to writhe their way back onto his skin, earning a shudder. Dammit. It had been too much to hope that they would stay gone, hadn't it.

When he finished attacking, he felt Futaba stance himself to counter anything coming for him. Which was good. Because with how rapid his attack had been paired the feeling of the tentacles breaking through his flesh again, his attention was dangerously scattered.
