Turn 6~Battle Theme (Boss)~Party B:Player Turn:Chryssa continues being rather irritated and starts kicking Vertexes in the face, that being her only useful ability right now. She plants
17,
16 and
20 damage respectively on them, but it doesn’t kill either of them.
The Primordial seems to stay in place, focusing on the distance. Specifically, the
Pisces Vertex.
Alria attempts to slash wildly into the crowd, but they seem to part as she walks past, and she only manages to catch one, dealing
8 damage to one.
Suddenly, Mio swoops in blocking an attack on her spear Hero friend. She examines her closely, shaking her head.
”Sora? You look….hurt.””I-I’m fine…...r-really….”The trembling posture of the spear-wielding Hero, her dishevelled face and teary eyes, along with some blood trailing down her side from wounds tells Mio she’s wrong. The brawling Hero stands up, crunching her fists together and breathing heavily, as if holding in rage. She looks to Motya, already walking towards Sora.
”......yes. Oh, yes, I’ll help defend this, alright.
Motya, thanks for the help. Keep her stable and make sure nothing gets at her. Sora, stay put. I'll make sure they won't hurt you anymore.”With that, Mio leaps into battle, with a flash of purple petals enshrouding her fists before she slams into the first Vertex she can find. Suddenly, everyone hears the loud
BANG of a shotgun as the unfortunate Vertex underneath her
explodes into stardust. A new Fairy floats on her shoulder for a moment, before flickering out of existence. Mio cocks her gauntlets, a new shotgun attachment on top of them as she advances into the crowd to follow Alria.
Ian is quick to capitalise on her assault,
charging up a jump to attack.
The spear Hero
stays put, in awe of Mio and also because the good doctor is about to be treating her wounds.
Alanis blasts another two Vertex in the face with sheer force,
causing them to explode from the sheer magnitude of the magic.
Idou arrives shortly after, jumping off of Mint Gale and landing on one Vertex with his kendo stick,
killing it instantly with his attack. Eirika is next, and with a short, sharp yell, she impales one attempting to climb on Idou’s back with a spear before lobbing off the root, before it explodes into more stardust,
dying on the process. Ayane arrives last, and with her the arrival of an invigorating smell fills the air.
Everyone is healed for 10% of their health +12. Sora and Big Daddy are no longer critical. It that Embraces, Alria, Ian, Alanis and Motya are now at full health. Ayane takes 8 damage as a result of the healing fatiguing her.Big Daddy crushes another underneath his drill,
killing it instantly.
Finally, Motya gets around to treating the last of Sora’s wounds,
healing her to full health.
Everyone steels themselves for attack before…..realising the enemy isn’t moving for some reason.
This reason immediately becomes apparent when they look at the large Vertex their compatriots are fighting, far from them.
~Battle Theme (Fierce Battle)~Party C:Player Turn:Hikari continues assisting Garnt with his attacks.
Tink builds another Heal-Mister, healing everyone for
6 HP.
”Let’s finish this!”Chizuru repeats her laser attack!
First strike does
7 damage.
Second strike
misses. This time, Chizuru seems a little disappointed.
The remaining Overclocker attacks the Vertex again, dealing
9 damage.
Suddenly, however, Anna soars over head, followed by Yuki.
Anna slams Vindicator into the side of the Vertex, dealing
20 damage. Yuki then follows up by smashing her shield into it, dealing
4 damage.
THEME OVERRIDE:
~Battle Theme (Gaping Dragon)~Garnt moves faster than everyone else, however, and leaps onto the beast with his Twilit Sword. With the swiftness of whatever magic Hikari was using at his feet, the sword in his hand and the wounded beast in front of him, he had but one more task to finish.
Instead of executing his two-hit combo, he delivers a series of swift strikes to it, each strike eating away at the essence of the creature before finishing off with a mighty thrust, somehow finding the strength to run up its side, his sword guided by seemingly divine wind, as he delivers one final stab to it, ending it all.
Before anyone can blink, the creature explodes into stardust, entirely gone. The core remains, blinking for a second, but before Yuki, Chizuru and Hikari can move to seal it away, a darkness overwhelms it, and it simply…..disappears, as if it were never there, gone forevermore.
The Primordial, it seems, has taken her revenge. No matter. Victory was had in the end.
Even Sandra,
successfully stabilising Ringo with her healing saliva, cannot help but watch as Garnt descends to the earth once more through the shower of stardust, landing perfectly on his knees and planting his sword in the ground.
Garnt has slain the Pisces Vertex.
The Horde of Mus Vertex suddenly retreat as their larger compatriot is destroyed utterly, now outnumbered by a group of powerful warriors capable of slaying them.
Y-you guys did it! They…...they ran away! You guys did it!
G-great job, everyone. K-keep it up!The battle is won.

Also, in terms of boss kill credit:
Party A: Idou gets credit.
Party B: Motya gets credit. He killed most horde members (5). Sora killed the second most (4). Everyone else killed 1 or 2 between them, maybe three in Chryssa or Alria’s case.
Party C: Garnt, obviously.
