The room shudders with great and terrible power, and Minato begins with burn with a corona that shines a brilliant gold. He spins, the aura twisting into a vortex of light as he kicks a display case, he foot tearing straight through it and basically exploding it apart. Perhaps trying to execute a ranged attack when your Ranged stat is 0 isn't the best idea. Not that it matters much in the long run, a beam of energy lances out from Faith's hand, forcing the Black Halo to dodge.
The rest? Clockwork. Like bloody clockwork.
There is an explosion, or at least, something that resembles one, a plume of debris blasting upwards from the impact of Minato's boot. Before the living shadow can even react it is pierced by a pair of swords. Now that, is enough to kill it. Really, the impact alone would be able to kill it, but Minato does a little bit
extra, just to be sure.
See by the time blades impacted, they weren't really made out of matter. They weren't really anything at all. They were raw concepts, things unlike anything else, indescribable as anything save for what they were, and what they were was death. Death, blades, swords, and all that followed. Naked ontologies free of the veil we call reality, regions of nothingness more substantial than what existed. They pierce the Mononoke, and detonate.
It's gone. It's just fucking gone. Minato just fucking erased it. It is dead, like, really fucking dead. Like if you found scattered remains of the first thing that ever died, annihilated them with antimatter, cut whatever spawned from the energy with cocaine and had each grain of it snorted by a different llama and then threw each llama into a different blackhole each so far apart none were even in the same super cluster, it still wouldn't be as dead as Black Halo B.
And then the fucking Aramitama dashes into view. It's floating outside the window aiming a revolver at Faith (who, thanks to her spell backlash finds her dress uncomfortably short). Now neither of you two are detectives, but you're pretty sure it's planning on pulling the trigger. Think fast.
Yoake, its thrusts don't phase you, not at all, and thank God they don't because you're coming at it ass first and it's literally trying to shank you with a dildo. Like holy hell, if it actually connected like that I'd have to lock the damn thread. ...Anyway, so you evade and try to slam your rear into its side only for it to block with its weapon. The impact releases a shockwave that ripples outwards, sending dust and debris flying before the next second you find yourself being launched back from the clash tumbling through a pile of clothes as your foe staggers back themselves for a bit.
Well congratulations. Congratu-fucking-lations. Look around you. Look the fuck around you. There's an iron throne made out of dildos, fifty different body pillows, and condoms in favours you didn't even know existed, and out of all the fucking outfits you could have landed in, you landed in a tux. Literally a high class tuxedo complete with leather shoes and bowtie. And by high-class I mean high-class, classiest damn tux you can imagine, but classier even. Like I don't even know why they have that in here, but you're in it. Your foe kicks off the wall, lunging forwards with one last desperate thrust, an all-or-nothing attack.
Yuki, you tear out your chainsaw with such force the Storm Mind just shatters. And now you're completely healed and shielded so you're ready to do that shit all over again.
Noriko, you know what a race condition attack is? It's this thing in IT security where you attack a system by performing an operation during a vulnerable time window between other operations. You basically just race conditioned the television. Just fucking stabbed it in the face and tore off the head before it could even punch, before its slag armor could actually harden.
Good job, just, one slight problem... it doesn't seem to be dead yet. Yeah it's head's gone, but er, well...
The headless Mononoke contorts and compresses, its now-levitating body imploding in on itself. Assorted objects fly into it, attracted by some unseen force. It compresses further, crushing down in turbulent mass of metal and energy. Amongst the things you see fly in are a bunch of marital aids, a bunch of condoms, a gimp suit, all the squeals, the remains of Black Halo A, the remains of Storm Mind 06, most of Yoake's boat, assorted debris, the gatling gun, the great sword, the axes, and all the dead appliance Mononoke.
The Fan having sent Shef sprawling on the floor, its force bolts turning out to be, while not particularly damaging, very good blasting foes out of stance, simply stares at the vortex. Without a word, not that it's been particularly talkative, it raises its umbrella, and runs itself through, its impaled corpse toppling, rolling, and then flying into what was once the Television.
After the Black Halo went in, the vortex seems to darken and soon enough all that remains is a perfect sphere, so dark you can no longer perceive its depth.
A howl of wind crashes outwards, and the world begins to twist, space distorting, stretching, as the four walls rush away as if fleeing the cry, leaving this twisted floor far more spacious than it ought to be.
And then, the black sphere falls.
It splashes on the ground as if it were liquid. It ripples outward as smaller orb of water flies back up,
as water does and around that, the remaining fluid twists up towards in two great helices. It begins to congeal, and out of the depthless darkness, metallic features precipitate.
It's vaguely humanoid and sightly hunched over, segmented metal plating forming along its back tracing where the spine should be, and from the centre of each hexagonal plate, a curved pylon arises, crackling with crimson energy. Its physique growing more muscular, still lean, but now with a sort of strength hiding behind it, energy all coiled up like a spring. More plates arise all over its body, soon linking together with metal and from them holographic magic circles project in the same energy as at that crackling along its spine.
It roars, the sound twisted and mechanical, like countless motors and actuators roaring away inside a semi-soundproof gimpsuit, which probably is the case. The cybergimp straightens itself out and across its chest forms a bandolier of steely condoms. Its flicks its wrists, and crackling into existence come, okay let's not mince words, they're dildos. Irresponsibly big, red, dildos, which hum menacingly and glow with radiant light. You're pretty sure, judging by how they're vaporizing whatever dust lands on them that they also double as lightsabers.
It will lunge forwards with a vicious swipe at Noriko, kick off into a sideways leap that leaves it spinning, body parallel to the ground as it spins, slashing at Shef, before seemingly ricocheting away for a swift slash at Yuki, and deflecting away, discarding its sabers in the process as it spins back to the centre of the room like a black tornado, saturating the air with energized, weaponized, sqweels.

Well it's miniboss time! Which means that next turn there will be pointlessly dramatic battle music playing (because when you're fighting some kind of cybergimp ninja sith, every possible theme is still pointlessly dramatic). If you've got any theme suggestions, poke me with it on Discord!
Noriko was able to wreck the Television's shit because she managed to stab it before its Hyper was fully activated and it was kinda relying on it to protect it.
Yoake wears so little usually that instead of taking clothing damage (which isn't even possible because she's wearing her Regalia) she takes reverse clothing damage instead.
Even without Faith forcing the Black Halo to dodge, Minato would've still been able to kill it this turn because he's burning Resolve on top of a Hyper that already allows him to cut it down.
