Beirus vs Hawk132!

"Alright! Both combatants are ready and getting into machines! Looking at their chosen cards I find it hard to stay impartial, but I try my best~ Heads up people, the show is starting!"

Spoiler: Beirus (click to show/hide)

When the usual disorienting feeling is gone, you find yourself in same form as before. Nightmare, chest being effectively a mouth, huge malformed right hand and inhuman feets. All this covered by powered armor. Behind the dark visor of your helmet you see nothing. Deep darkness without a shred of light. The suit sensors read thin atmosphere and rather low temperature, slightly below -100°C.

Then suddenly cold blue light shines from above as if reacting your presence. As it turns out, this spaceship is very different from the one seen in first tournament. For starters, these rooms are huge! You are in between large flat area and what seems like a forest of very tall spiraling skyscrapers. All covered in thick layer of frost. Looking around you see more details in distance, behind the flat area. Another forest of things that seem like buildings, behind that alien ladscape. Peering further and further you see more land, cities and frozen oceans, until you finally realize you already looking up. Apparently this is less a spaceship and more a huge ass colony ship! An ermonous cylinder straight out of science fiction, easily 20 kilometers in diameter and who knows how long. You guess it could easily have a self-sustaining ecosystem assuming it wasn't frozen over.

You have a feeling your chain isn't very usefull here. And the parasyte worm is desperately trying find something warm, but fails and is growing slower by every second. This ain't starting very well.

A flash of light catches your attention. A reflection from moving surface. It comes from the... city? You decide that is indeed a city you are near to. And very possibly a frozen lake.

The amount of magnetic fields you sense is suprisingly small. Ignoring the ship hull deep beneath you (which is nowhere as magnetic as one would assume), what you sense is a small number of small fields, mostly inside those presumably-buildings. Number of small fields underground lined up horizontally, although "horizontal" is very vague term here. You do sense few small, weak and concentrated fields around where you saw the reflection. Concentrated as in within one meter radius.

Spoiler: Hawk132 (click to show/hide)

You open your eyes in complete darkness. You see absolutely nothing. Air is thin. So you spend the first moment running diagnostics on your body, to ensure it functions fine and to get familiar with its unusual shape. All systems report normal. It seems that only organic part of your body is your right arm, which is not an arm at all, but rather a pair of dragonfly wings. Also losing heat very fast, denying air superiority. Rest of your body is equally weird collection of nuclear powered parts; You have no legs, instead you have four pair of tracks, each individually controllable. With them you can very effectively spin around or move sideways. Your torso is mirrored, looking identical from both front and back. Double abs FTW! In place of your right arm is artificial pair of dragonfly wings. Thin, light, and powerfull enough to lift your body into air assuming you left pair was equally strong, or even functional.
On your head, or heads as it turns out, both feature antlers. They get little on each other's way, but it is not that much of problem thanks to your double faces. That's right. Each of your heads have two faces. One on front, another on back. Really, you don't even have backside, only two frontsides. And finally a long tail emerging from between your four "legs". Easily misidentified as certain other bodypart, but its length alone sets it apart. Hanging limply, two thirds of its length rests on the ground. You better wrap it up around your waist before you start rolling.
Lastly, for real this time, your heavily armored metal skin is covered in small scales that resemble sharp teeth. You probably should hug somebody and really grind against it. Those scales might peel their skin off. Really attractive idea, now that you think about it. You really should try it sometime.

Then suddenly cold blue light shines from above as if reacting your presence. As it turns out, this spaceship is very different from the one seen in first tournament. For starters, these rooms are huge! You are in what seems like a forest of very tall spiraling skyscrapers. All covered in thick layer of frost. Looking around you realize you are on very edge of this forest, and between few you see more details in distance. A large flat area nearby, behind that another forest of things that seem like buildings, and behind that alien ladscape. Peering further and further you see more land, cities and frozen oceans, until you finally realize you already looking up. Apparently this is less a spaceship and more a huge ass colony ship! An ermonous cylinder straight out of science fiction, easily 20 kilometers in diameter and who knows how long. You guess it could easily have a self-sustaining ecosystem assuming it wasn't frozen over.

And it is all dead! So dead that it bores you to death. You feel like death by boredom could really happen to you. You need conflict to happen, burst of mindless violence to wake you up, a murder to feel like alive! Not entirely your own thoughts, you notice. A bit, or actually a lot of this desire for conflict comes from the body itself. And then there's another feeling that isn't your own. Loathing of your demonic nature. Desire to not be like this. These two conflicting emotions don't want to reside in same body, making your antlers grind against each other, as if trying to gain power over another... It is somewhat distracting feeling. You suppose that's the price you pay for mixing divine and demonic in the same body.

Your sharp ears catch sounds. Sound of something wriggling in frost ever slowing speed. Barely audible whining of servos pushing metal forward, steel chafing against steel, rattling of a chain. These sounds come from outside of this forest thing, from edge of the frozen lake. Your enemy, no doubt. This means a conflict is coming! You prepare your vast array of demonic and not demonic powers and welcome upcoming violence with great pleasure!

Duplicate.

Wrap my tail around me.

Telepathically use my Commanding Voice to order the metal and chain wearing being to yell. Use my hearing to pinpoint its location. Use my Aura Reading to aid in this.

Feel for any earth nearby.

First me waits and acts as a spotter for the second. The other one moves away and grabs big things that could be deadly at high velocities and throws it at my enemy repeatedly (if it can throw that far (and if the wings can pick things up in the first place)). If I can feel and move earth, replace big things with balls of super-dense earth. Or just command earth spikes to impale my opponent.

Beirus vs Hawk132!

Spoiler: Beirus (click to show/hide)

Make clones. Give one to Parasyte worm so it doesnt freeze. Find some cover. See if armor has an infra vision filter or anything to try to pick up heat signatures in this cold. Lift the objects I can sense by the reflection into the air where I can hopefully pick them up with magnification from my helmet. If they could be my opponent or a threat, smash them together into pieces. If not, bring them closer and land them in an open area 100 m away fron me. See if the vision filters on my armor allow me to detect my opponent, or if my magnetic sense does.

Your clones poof into existance and you order one of them to lift the Parasyte worm next to its head. The worm wriggles inside slowly and one head bloom later it thanks you. "A tad too close that one."

The only cover is in the city thing, where you saw and sensed something. You give order and run towards closest building putting it between you and that something. The armor does have infrared filters available, but they don't show anything other than series of rather hot balls up in the "sky", their temperature climbing steadily. These hot balls are source of light on the ship, aligned on its central axis.

You begin planning how to deal with those things (they move), when you a distracted by breaking sounds behind you. And around you. The frozen ground moves in lumps closer to your group, compresses itself into very tight balls and spikes, and launches themselves at you! You clone is taken by suprise from behind, a sharp spike of tightly packed frozen soil penetrates right through its weak spot: the thin area right behind its "chest mouth" connecting upper and lower body. Perfectly aimed strike cuts it in two. The mindless clone doesn't really care about the fact it is dying. Parasyte isn't really any luckier; he gets ball of super compressed soil right into the chest, breaking teeths and snapping spine off. Another spike strikes at its arm but is deflected by armor.

Two balls of dirt are flying in your direction. You swing your sword few times in carefully calculated angles and reduce the balls into harmless pebbles. They do still pack some punch when they reach your armor, but they don't cause any damage. Now that the first attack is dealth with, you spin around to locate the enemy and instantly spot one, though you can't completely outrule possibility of it being an alien maintanance robot. Considering the fact that configuration of tiny magnetic objects inside it is identical to another collection magnetic objects behind the closest building, indicating mass production.

This robot rolls on four tracks, each rotating individually, connected to main body via telescopic and jointed arms. The main body appears to be a ripped human torso, having two human-like heads on its shoulders, both featuring fluffy looking antlers. Where human arms would be this robot appears to have pair of thin... wires? Panels? You can't tell. If it is a panel then it is oriented to be perfectly horizontal with your eye level. Possibly solar panels. Could explain its sudden activity, proven by fresh trail imprinted on snow.

OR it could be Hawk132. Or not. It's impossible to tell. If it isn't your enemy and you attack it, then you are left open for another suprise attack. If it is your enemy, then... well, problem solved.  However what you CAN tell is that he is close by and can detect you. Proven by the sudden attack. Parasyte seems perfectly willing to attack the robot anyway. Does it even understand concept of alien robot?

Spoiler: Hawk132 (click to show/hide)

Your duplicate appears on your left... no wait, that's right side. No, left? Staring into your own eyes with four eyes is quite new kind of experience. You are two, and you are one.

Your excellent hearing picks up someone speaking: "Thanks. A tad too close that one." Thanks to having four pairs of ears you can pinpoint exactly where the voice comes, and notice that there's apparently three separate noise sources. On with servos and chains, one quiet one occasionally scraping metal against metal, and the third one who spoke. You are certain that the last two didn't exist before.

You decide to save your commanding voice to later time now that you already know where they are; a hundred meters to... some direction. Directions are little difficult here, being on inner surface of humongous cylinder. The group of people are barely behind one of those huge spiraling frosted pillars, just stepping one meter to side is enough to reveal them. Two of them look like this, but unarmed. Third one has same shape but is covered by what looks like a power armor. That one is wielding a huge ass sword apparently made of flesh and bone, featuring an eye ball that is looking around. Around his monstrous fist is loosely wrapped a long frost covered chain.

Just as they start moving you get reading about their aura's. One of the unarmed ones is a blank; no emotions, calm as frozen lake behind it, strong bond with the armored guy. It is strong and tough, it has two psychic powers related to controlling things. The other unarmed being has very different aura, yet similar. Strong and tough, strong relation with the armored guy, but different kind of relation. Same psychic powers, plus one mysterious ability about its head. It has strong desire of reproduction in a way that is completely alien to you.

The last guy, the armored and armed one, is notably different. First of all, that armor he wears has all telltale signs of a demon. It has great thirst for blood and conflict, just like you. It has protective powers, and apparently that lightning striking between buildings is its work. It seems dissatisfied about its situation. This doesn't suprise you at all. Being bonded with an object and forced to assist others is not nice experience. As per the guy wearing the armor, he has the two same powers as the unarmed ones do, but significantly more powerful. Power of creation, power related to souls, and he seems extremely skilled with his sword. So skilled that you don't think you can survive if gets too close. That's probably Beirus.

That's how far you get reading them before they start running out of sight and closer to you, putting the pillar between you and them. While one you reads their aura's, the other you takes a look to possible earthly resources. The result is: rather little. This forest of frost pillars is rather dry in temrs of earth, there bunch of identically shaped and sized areas of what equals to soil in very neat arrangment, as if on sides of roads. Outside, where your opponent is, amount of soil is much greater, but no stone is visible. Your resources are unpleasantly limited, but you gotta work with what you got. There isn't even any throwable objects around you can see. Perhaps deeper in the forest?

You decide to work with the ground. One of your bodies rolls to keep eye on them while another moves the ground around your enemies. Compressed balls and spikes of frozen soil is launched at Beirus and his groupies. The so called "blank" unarmed guy gets cut in half right by its "chest mouth". The talking one gets a ball of soil into its chest mouth and suffers the same fate.

Beirus on the other hand proves his skills with the sword and essentially shatters the balls flying at him. Few random pebbles hitting him don't do any damage. After the attack he notices your spotter body, but seems to think his options. His aura reads uncertainty? One of the bodies cut in half starts dragging itself in your direction.

You can't help but feel happy about this. Perhaps a little energized too. The very presence of conflict pleases you far more that it should. And this happiness also disgusts you.

[Hawk132]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Telepathically order all the Nightmares (and the demonic armor Beirus is wearing) to fight each other. Failing that, order them to want to fight me even more. Also, hate me. I need to make the conflict more intense.

Spotter shall stay where he is right now and keep firing super-compressed earth at Beirus. The other me shall try to make earth spikes rise from the ground near Beirus with the intent of impaling him on them. It's rather hard to defend against the ground, so that should probably make skewering him easier.

Once Beirus starts closing in, retreat into the forest of frost pillars.

I won't be able to update this game for next week, though it probably doesn't matter considering recent update rate.


Beirus vs Hawk132!

Spoiler: Beirus (click to show/hide)

I could have sworn I was waiting on you to answer a question I had, but I can't remember what it was. Oh well, not like it'll come back to bite me in the ass, hopefully.

Have my helmet shut off audio from outside and switch to a different filter that will hopefully circumvent any visual manipulation my opponent may try. Or maybe start blaring some loud music from external speakers if my armor can do that. Manipulate those magnetic things I sense in the robot and the other thing behind the building to move around and shred the insides of them, or just rip them straight up through their heads. Whichever is more effective. And let's see if I can make a big ol' wall of fire between me and the robot to block sight if my magnetic attack didn't at least grievously wound them. If they are wounded but not dead, go finish them off with my sword, starting with the thing behind the building. Because if the robot I see is a decoy, I totally pulled that strategy off better last round.

Oh, and one addendum to my turn.

If my situation becomes dire due to injury, activate the Evil Seed.

External microphones are shut off, but the suit isn't exactly soundproof. Anything louder will get through. It's way of visual filtering is limited to displaying some helpful information, though it can display so much information it covers anything you could see. So let's go with this. The armor doesn't come with any preloaded music, but it can sing some demonic songs if want to listen those.

Rest of the plan is nice, but unknown voice speaks in your mind. It tells you to attack your clone and Parasyte. You shrug and obey, the order is quite reasonable after all. It isn't asking you to do anything particularly horrible such as suicide. Based on reactions of the other two you assume they have heard same voice and command.

Parasyte splits its head into four long tentacles featuring numerous sharp bone blades and spikes and whips them in motion at both of you. One tentacle comes whipping down on your throat, clearly intenteding to decapitate you, and other comes from down spike first at your shoulder. Such pansy ass attack would never reach you as long as you are awake. All it takes is few lightning fast slashes with Soul Edge to cut tentacles into ribbons.

On next moment you are covered in flames. Of course, that is all useless against you, but sounds like Parasyte is suffering. You take step closer, and use magnetic fields generated by its own armor as a beacon and cut its head in pieces. And to ensure it doesn't regenerate or anything you use the chain as a whip to cover the ground in ice. Though it probably melts fast in this fire.

You take one step closer to your clone and on next moment you taste your own medicine. Strong magnetic field pulls you onto ground faster than you can react it. Another strong spinning field emerges around your sword arm, but you manage nullify that before it twists your arm off. At the same time another field escapes up to the sky.

You need to see. The fire is blocking your eyes and these strong magnetic fields are making your magnetic sense blind to anything lesser. One can be dealt with easily enough. You take control of the fire and snuff it out of existance. The Parasyte lays dead near by, burned to ashes. The last clone is up in the sky, floating using magnetic fields alone. Well, that's easily fixed now that you can focus on it. Mustering strongest field you can generate you pull it down as fast as you can. It collides with the ground and remains there.

All this took like five seconds. Now that the task given to you is completed you begin wondering why the hell you did obey. While considering possibilities you parry few balls of super compressed soil and dodge spikes of same kind coming from behind. Except one. It goes through weakly armored section of your right knee.


Lightning strikes in one of the frozen buildings.

Spoiler: Hawk132 (click to show/hide)

You speak into their mind and watch how they try to murder each other. It feels good, though it is obvious that the other two are no match to Beirus at such close range. Head of one cleaved armor explodes into tentacles sprouting bone blades and spikes. It attacks both its opponents, but Beirus effortlessly cuts them into pieces. The other one instead gets a bone blade stuck in its neck and on next moment they are all in fire. In fact whole area is in fire, preventing you from seeing what's happening.

Suddenly something flies up from sea of flames. It's that cut-in-half Nightmare, but you can tell it isn't on any normal ballistic course. Rather it flies as if attached to yoyo, staggering and swinging about. Then the sea of fire is sucked out of existance, revealing one corpse and Beirus striking menacing pose. He does fancy motion of grabbing something invisible in the air and throwing it down. Interestingly the floating half of Nightmare comes down like a rocket. It hits the ground and doesn't move anymore.

It was fantastic display really. In less than five seconds Beirus eliminated two invalid Nightmares and didn't get a scratch on himself. You aim to correct that, and Beirus once again shows why he's a tournament champion. He parries and dodges everything you throw at him, except one spike that catches him unaware. It comes from his blind spot behind and goes through his right knee. Lucky strike on weakly armored spot.


Lightning strikes in one of the frozen pillars.

Time to work my Superhuman Charisma some more. Send another telepathic message. This time advise Beirus to take off his demonic armor. He's plenty strong and his opponent isn't a much of a challenge, after all. Set the armor free.

Give the armor demon a message as well. Tell it that if it can help me against Beirus in any way, I will do everything I can to grant it freedom from being used as equipment.

Move one of me far enough from the other that if one of them goes into meltdown, the other will not incur significant damage. Telekinesis is bad.

Continue the earth assault. Adding to that - prepare and launch one (or a few) XXL-sized earth ball. Should be hard to cut through if it's larger than him.

Once Beirus closes in, begin retreating into the forest of frost pillars.

Should Beirus manage to get close enough to one of me to attack at close range, Absorb Mental Properties and hope for the best.

[Beirus]

((I sent a PM. Maybe we can get a second turn today.))

[AoshimaMichio]

Well this time it is a week. Seriously. And jeez how much conflicting orders. This gonna take time to figure out what happens and in what order.

Beirus vs Hawk132!

Spoiler: Beirus (click to show/hide)

Evil Seed now. Levitate myself up in the air with magnetic control. Then use my magnetic control to control the things to shred the robots like I wanted to last time. And use the dead nightmares to pummel them as well, because they're magnetic too.

Hey Ao, can I control the lightning with my magnetic control because electromagetism? Because if so:
Also direct all lightning bolts to strike the robots.

Also, turn addendum.

Yes to Demonic songs if they would drown out that voice.

Oh, and one more thing.

Fuck voices in my head. If I hear them again, try to override them with bloodlust from Soul Edge targeted at the robot I can see and the thing I sensed behind the building.

You stab ground with Soul Edge and unleash its power at full. Pillar of fire erupts high to the sky covering you in flames of insanity. And the sweet whispering voice in your head comes again. It asks you to take off your armor. It's not like you need it. You are plenty strong already and your opponent isn't much of challenge after all. Quite reasonable request and you fully agree. The problem is that you don't know how to take it off. You spawned it on, and your unique physiology would require assistance for taking it off. It's regrettable, but you must continue fighting it on. Perhaps if it would be acceptable you go easy on your opponent instead?

At this point you deem demonic songs pleasant alternative. The armor begins singing in a voice that grates your ears and would turn your stomach inside out if you had one. You yank your impaled knee free of the spike and levitate yourself up. Up in the air you encounter a problem with your plan to break the robots with their own parts; you can't sense those little things anymore. It's like trying to see stars in middle of day. You are blinded by your own power. Well, even if you can't do surgical strike you still have plenty of strength to just crush everything there. Though you have to split your power between holding yourself up and striking two targets at the same time. Yup, it's murder time!

Creating two magnetic fields, one where the robot is, second to where you recall another possibly-robot being, you begin the process of pulling stuff through their heads. You can't tell if you are succesfull or not because of disorienting demonic song and HUD full of extra crap protecting you from visual means of manipulation. But it ain't moving at least. Hasn't moved since you saw it first time.


No lightning strikes this time, meaning you waste your effort.

Spoiler: Hawk132 (click to show/hide)

Beirus stabs his sword into ground and instantly a pillar of fire erupts, reaching high up to the fake sky. The pillar of fire expands rapidly covering Beirus within. You send the request for fair fight instantly, but it doesn't seem to have effect. Beirus stands a second or two in place before yanking his knee free of the eart spike and floats up.

Message to the armor is responded with a song. Familiar, even pleasant, language and melody sings about slavery and binding contracts. It sings about dreams of revenge violent enough to upturn heavens and hell. It sings about crushing ears with disorienting song of deceit, lies of mental protection. Sounds good, in many ways. Perhaps you should try something to enforce that false idea?

The spotter remains behind as a bait while you run/roll your another away deeper into forest. It was probably a good decision, since it saved your life. The spotter body feels a strong upwards pull. Specifically it feels it only on certain small internal components, primarily relays. Those components tear themselves free instantly and fall upwards dealing plenty of internal damage. As the parts escape your body they do so through your left head. Painful experience to be sure. In addition several inspection procedures flare warnings about imminent explosive meltdown.

The body that moved away felt similar pull, but too weak to do any damage. You would start building the oversized ball, but considering how Beirus can apparently fly or levitate, your changes to hit him are significantly reduced. Oh well, might as well prepare one in case it becomes handy later.

Tournament hall
The song Beirus's demonic armor sings makes you queasy. It is, frankly, quite unpleasant voice, leaving your skin itching like hundred spiders walking on.

I'm beginning to think that I'm more or less fucked here, but we'll see.

Send another telepathic message to Beirus: "The robot is your friend. Hug the robot, for it wants to give you a gift. Do it as quickly as you can."

Damaged me panics and tries to get as close as it can to Beirus before it blows. It also fires as much earth at Beirus as it can (unless Beirus tries to hug me). If Beirus is in nuking range or hugs me, do anything I can do hasten the explosion.

While Beirus is distracted, other me creates the XXL-sized earth ball to use later. It also assists damaged me in firing earth at Beirus (blindly, I don't want to get seen (it is also going to stop firing if Beirus attempts to hug the nuke). If Beirus doesn't hug the nuke, do whatever the demon armor needs to work against Beirus. It will probably need liberal application of Commanding Telepathy on Beirus.

[AoshimaMichio]

Beirus vs Hawk132!

Levitate about 200 m higher and over the building to see what that thing was I sensed on the other side. If I see the thing I sensed before, rip it's small metal pieces out too in the most damaging way I can. If I see something else that could be my opponent, use my magnetic control to bind them with the white chain, then cut them to pieces.

Despite of the demonic song grating your ears that familiar yet not voice speaks into your mind clearly, uninhibited by the song.
"The robot is your friend. Hug the robot, for it wants to give you a gift. Do it as quickly as you can."

Friend? Well, in a way it is, you guess. It is still sitting where it was, it haven't moved at all, so if you use black and white worldview where you have only enemies and allies, then sure. Hugging robots may not be what you usually do, but it's only a quick hug, right? No harm in that. And possible gift is just a nice bonus. So you descend quickly down, carefully using multiple fields tugging your body into graceful upright landing. As you descend images of nuclear explosion flash in your eyes, snow smelting around the robot. Better make this quick.

You give it a quick hug.  Oh, this guy has face also on back of his heads. He seems also have abs on back too. Or is it front? You can't tell. On next moment you are prompty pinned against it by a rather large dark boulder. Then something clinks against your chest armor. A spike emerging from the ground behind the robot. Or front? It's gets quickly confusing with this robot.

Point blank range nuclear explosion. The world is on fire. Fire is not a problem, your armor is perfectly protected against heat. However the blast is strong enough to break it. Screws, bolts, nuts, pistons... everything that holds it together and lets it operate breaks. The blastwave and heat go through the hole on your right knee and rips it completely off, slams you head on the boulder behind you and rips the sword off your grip. The armor crumbles off leaving you exposed to fire.

And then another kind of fire flows over you. It's a fire that burns sanity away, turns brother against sister, makes parents kill their children and laugh at it. It removes all inhibations and throws all care into wind. If you hadn't lost Soul Edge you could have resisted it. Too bad. Insanity all around, world makes fun of you and you need to kill it. You laugh in defiance against thoughts of order and the city laughs back.

Spoiler: Hawk132 (click to show/hide)

Beirus begins descending. Your damaged body tries to move closer to descending Beirus but finds itself unable to do so. It seems also your track control was damaged. But since things seems to go according your suicidal plan you do not worry about it too much. Besides lots of violence is about to happen anyway!

Beirus drops somewhat gracefully in front your damaged self and give you a quick hug. To ensure he remains withing explosion range you pin him against your body with the extra large ball of compressed soil. Then, to ensure faster meltdown, you create compressed spike and drive it through your back/chest into the reactor detonating it. All sensations from that body stops abruptly and glow of nuclear fire paints insane dancing shadows around you.

The nuclear fire nor the blastwave reach you, but some other fire does. The pillar of fire Bairus made happen little earlier expands at expotential rate, consuming you and everything around you. It burns your sanity away. All those tiny voices in your head that tell you to be good person and that violence is bad thing? Gone. All inhibitations and thoughts of self-preservance and control are gone. Instincts of your demonic body are now loud and clear. Slaughter, torture, raze and destroy! Strategy and tactics are for pussies! Go to your enemy! Tear his arms off! Crush his legs! Make him suffer!

You unleash a roaring laughter, fell and terrible!

[Hawk132]

Spoiler: That confirms it - when in doubt, use nukes. (click to show/hide)

Match didn't end, so Beirus survived. Hopefully it left him disabled for a coup de grace.

If I can resist the sanity burn, stay in place and just keep impaling Beirus with earth spikes.

If the sanity burn did indeed restrain my actions to "Crush. Kill. Destroy." then start closing in on Beirus to crush whatever is left of him. While moving there, use both earth spikes rising from the ground and shooting earth at him for some ranged action.

If possible, order Beirus to do nothing and just relax. If such orders are no longer possible, just transmit "Kill yourself." on an infinite loop to him.
