As you look around for something to kill yourself with, you decide that the heavy iron lump would be perfect for the job. You pick it up and bring it down as hard as you can against your head, which although failing to kill or even seriously maim you, succeeds in knocking loose the last few scattered bits of your common sense, replacing them with a single incessant thought.
"Suicide is sick and wrong, isn't it? Sick and wrong... sick and wrong... SICK AND WRONG! SICKANDWRONGSICKANDWRONGSICKANDWRONG! WRONGWRONGWRONG! WROOOOOOONG!"!!!
Umbramanto quickly takes off and aims at Xovaros, then he breaches homing shadow projectile. Hopefully it will hit Xovaros, forming solid shadow sphere and trapping him in, with no harm.
(Umbramanto affinity: 3+2)
(Umbramanto aim: 5+1+1) The extra +1 is for homing
(Xovaros reflexes: 5+2)
You create a bolt of shadow and launch it towards Xovaros. The projectile guides itself as it flies, but Xovaros is fast enough to misdirect it and then dodge by a hair's breadth. However, as it passes by him, it explodes into a brilliant burst of light, blinding the both of you. Hey, wasn't that supposed to be a SHADOW spell?
Xovaros grins horribly.
Too little, too late, little morsels.
Leap forth and eviscerate everyone I can see!

(Karnii affinity: 4+3+1)
(Xovaros strength: 4+1)
You can't see too well after that blast of light, so you decide to attack the person who you can hear first. However, as you leap towards the voice, you hear its mantra stop briefly as it speaks to you.
"I can't just let you kill me yet. That would be WROOOOOOOOONG! WRONG, WRONG WRONG WRONGWRONGWRONGWRONG!"Your vision starts coming back to you, and you can see that you're now being held in the air by a great three-clawed iron talon which seems to have sprung from the ground. Karnii stands below you, brandishing his book.
"That was the W-W-W-WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG choice, buddy!"WOAH WOOP WOOP POW. "I'M ON TOP OF THE WORLD!"
Shadowbreakboxdance around the area and up the mountain, busting a move and backflipping over everyone in the way.
(Fandango willpower: 5-1)
You spin and cartwheel up the mountain with no opposition, seeing as how everyone is preoccupied with maiming themselves and others. As you reach the peak, you see Ace and Lloyd standing outside of an unbelievably tall tower, and come to your senses with one last whirl.
"So, did I miss anything?"Yukkuri clutches her knees and cries on ground about various cheeses she hasn't tasted yet. She stands up and tries to capture Labcoat with a portal before he gets murdered.
(Yukkuri affinity: 5+3)
You open up a sizable gap in reality about 50 meters away from you, but Labcoat seems to be out of range of your magic. You begin to curse the unknown laws of magic, but stop as a massive clock-face roughly the size of a garbage can lid bursts from between your shoulders, its constantly ticking hands looking like wings as they spin around behind you. You wonder for a moment how the hell this could have happened, but then the pain of having a giant clock emerge from your back hits you, and you go back to cursing the laws of magic again.
Ace look back for a moment, a feeling of danger before it passes.
Head for the tower
You take a few steps towards the tower, but stop as the ground begins to tremble violently.
"Another earthquake? This isn't good at all. We'd better get inside before things get any worse."As if in response, the tower seems to whirl to life, thousands of weapon ports opening at once to reveal a massive array of powerful-looking cannons, each one the size of an eighteen-wheeler and pulsing with some unknown golden light. Lloyd quickly scans the area, before scratching his head.
"That's not good. The defense systems should only activate when something nearby poses a threat to the tower. The earthquakes must be causing some sort of failure in the magic circuits. Let's just hope that the world link is still oper-"Lloyd's voice is drowned out by the sound of thousands of cannons firing, filling the air with a thick golden powder as bolts of multicolored light scatter in all directions before converging on a single point. As they reach this target, there's an ear-splitting roar, and the air seems to shimmer for a moment as something massive takes shape.
"A TITAN? HERE AT SPAWN? NONONO, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HIGH-END BOSSES! THIS IS GONNA FUCK EVERYTHING UP!"While Lloyd panics, the shimmering in the air finally takes a solid form, appearing as a great one-eyed chameleon at least a thousand feet long. The shots from the tower continue to batter it, but it slowly advances towards the tower, and you realize that the 'earthquakes' from before were actually its footsteps. As it draws back a scaly fist for a punch, Lloyd shields his eyes, and you do the same moments before you are thrown on the ground by a burst of wind and golden dust, which lingers in the air like smoke and obscures your vision as you pick yourself back up.
