"How are the energy readings holding up?"

"Stable. It looks like this is going to work."

"That's a good thing, I guess..."

"You guess? You don't get how amazing this will be if it works? We'll go down in history!"

"If there's any history left."

"Look, you know what you signed up for, and you know you can't back out now."

"Yeah, I know.... It's just....."

"What?"

"I can't get this nagging guilty feeling out of my head. Like my conscious just won't let me be okay with what we're doing."

"It's a job. You got bills to pay, and this is how you pay them. End of story."

"..."

"Still, I'll admit, it would at least be better if this place didn't look like an mad scientist's evil underground villain layer. You know, like if it wasn't so dark in here or something."

"Seriously, and that thing up there is like a massive blacklight. I swear, I never feel like I can get all the lint off me..."

------------------------------------------------------------

Spider-Bear had been doing his best to maneuver about the halls of the Old Mashirosen tower for a few minutes, trying to find a new angle from which to attack IC, when it suddenly felt rather chilly. An icy breeze drifted past, causing the bear to shiver despite how insulated it naturally was.

Moving further on, the scenery had become noticeably different, metallic walls and flickering fluorescent lights giving way to wood paneling, gumdrops, and candy canes.

A couple tiny humanoid creatures rounded the corner, causing the bear rear back on its hind legs and roar in surprise. The pair of elves stood frozen in terror, screaming as the bear instinctively brought its claws down upon them.

------------------------------------------------------------

Elsewhere, IC could hear a dull rumbling as the walls began to shake. The noise got louder and louder, until he could finally place its origins, turning to see a flood of seawater crashing down the hall way toward him, washing up the bodies of the slain gaians, a hiss of steam filling the air as the water rushed over the flamers.

------------------------------------------------------------

"I don't quite remember this being here before..."

The Rakshasa almost seemed to purr as she looked out over the strange new scenery she'd stumbled upon, having decided to investigate the noises she was hearing echoing about the halls of Santa's Castle and discovering a massive underwater palace with a massive melee in the very center involving a twin-headed dragon, a female mercenary, an endless variety of sea creatures, and a horde of nasty imps.

Grinning, the Rakshasa began working her necromantic magics, reanimating the fallen sea monsters and imps and commanding them to her own will in the brawl.

------------------------------------------------------------

As the godly siblings exchanged ineffectual blows and polite banter and shrugged off the attacks of the yetis, wolfweres, and others as if they weren't happening at all, a hulking form rushed through the middle of them, pushing the horde of monsters through the wall and tearing into them into a bestial rage.

It seems someone had taken Thod's food, and he was none too pleased.

But before he had a chance to really do anything important, he and the mob of creatures were suddenly blown backwards in a large explosion, falling through the air toward Mesden and Raiden.

From the hole in the wall, a trio of forms could be seen through the dust as it settled, revealing three of the most hideously malformed scantily-clad females imaginable.

"We are the Badly Drawn Naked Transformation Anime (Hentai) Women�, and we have been sent to KILL YOU!"

------------------------------------------------------------

"As much as I enjoy seeing you have fun with your work, Bruticus," The Capitalist stated drolly, "it would be appreciated if you would stop toying with this young man so we can move along and deal with the other intruders..."

As Pyros did his best to disregard the wound to his leg and charged at his newly-sworn enemy, Bruticus readied himself for the attack and quickly sidestepped the swordsman, swinging his pistol around and taking a quick shot.

The lurker standing in the doorway crumpled to the floor as Bruticus aimed his weapon back at Pyros.

"Friend of yours?" The Capitalist inquired to Pyros.

------------------------------------------------------------

It was an epic struggle between Nikose's digestive tract and the violent electric shocks of the lemon jam, but Nik's regenerative powers seemed to be making a victor of him, despite the pure unrelenting agony of it. Not that he wasn't used to this sort of thing by now.

TRIPLE TECH: PERIODIC TABLE!

A massive combined elemental attack plowed through the chamber from the cluster of jams. Rei reacted as quickly as she could, erecting as much of a shield as possible around herself in hopes of deflecting the attack. Though surviving, the force of the blow sent her tumbling to the ground.

How the other NPFers fared is anyone's guess....
