Inside the storeAs Shef slowly backed away, he hears Winter though his earpiece.
"The cavalry will be arriving shortly. And by arriving, I mean crashing. If I were you, I'd stay away from that window." So of course, he drops the Fan on the Television. In front of the window. Little more than a nuisance, but it does delay them long enough for what happens next...
Meanwhile 05, after unsuccessfully trying to finish off the Toaster, charges at Yuki. But but then she was gone, she had leaped over 06, and was now introducing her weapon to its spine. 05 cancels its attack, but can't really target Yuki too well thanks to her using its ally as a shield. And then comes the beam. All three are caught in the blast, with Yuki unable to escape due to being busy chainsawing a bitch. So 06 is severely damaged, 05 has lost the plating on its right side, and Yuki herself is hurt, which considering her healing powers, doesn't really mean that much. What matters more however, is that her uniform is now looking a lot worse for wear, and unlike her sister, she doesn't have the benefit of having armor beneath it.
A great beam of energy erupts from Faith's hands and roars towards the Black Halo, punctuated by the Rho Aias detonating. Amidst the chaos, two blades trace through the air, one of light, one of darkness.
Faith's costume seems to have gotten burnt in the process, the raw power searing away the unwanted details, carving out a more modest outfit from it all. Everything seems to have turned out perfectly! Well, perfectly for however long it takes the girl to realize that her clothes left the way she tumbled, the way she just blasted with a wide-aperture beam of destruction.
Minato on the other hand notices what went on his end a lot faster. Namely in that it feels like he got slashed in the back, which is probably because that is precisely what happened. That Mononoke... it's fast, really damn fast. It dodged the blast and slashed him before he could even swing, and by the time he did, it was already out of the way. How troublesome.
It is currently standing at between him and the window, preparing to slash him again with its burning weapon, and, should he dare to charge, attempt to defenestrate him in the process.
Another Place; Another Time; Racing Towards the PresentIn the beginning, there was nothing.
No light.
No darkness.
No time.
No space.
Emptiness.
So absolute, so profound, it too did not exist.
Nothing came before, and nothing would come after.
A perfect nonexistence stretching forward and back for all eternity.
Yet, that soon would come to an end.
In physics, there is a phenomenon known as quantum tunneling, which allows particles to pierce barriers they cannot cross. It is because of this, the stars may shine. What happened was not tunnelling, but it was something similar.
In a mere instant, it had pierced the barrier called eternity, and crossed through to the other side.
Nothing became Something.
In that instant, the world became a world.
And in that instant, God entered it.
Because they willed it to be, then so it was.
When they hurled themself to the void, the void became their domain.
It was a world with light and darkness, with space and time. A world of air and water, a world that stretched to the horizon and beyond. A world that held infinity, a world which would exist for eternity. The beginning, the nothingness so distant, so far gone, it could be said to have never existed.
But soon, soon, that too would come to an end, for the world came from nothing, and to nothing it shall return.
All God did, was hasten that.
Beyond the edge of the world, beyond the infinite, the impossible, the inconceivable, lay the boundary between it, and our own.
And yet, they reached it, and they crossed it.
Eternity screamed past in an instant.
Infinity compressed to naught.
And the world was no more.
Through the breach it flew.
The dying flames of genesis.
The fading ash of the eschaton.
The Timeless.
The Infinite.
Fading by the second.
And so it is here that God revealed Herself.
Within that world, she was God. But here, outside of it, her name was Yoake o-Shiri.
That was unimportant.
She was a Godslayer.
That too was unimportant.
But what was important, was that she had a motherfucking boat.
And by God, was she going to use it.
Back inside the storeSo this fucking boat just flies in out of nowhere, propelled by the death throes of an entire reality and wreathed in a fucking cornucopia of metaphysical wankery. You see Yoake standing on bow, shades on, arms folded like a boss. You see Noriko on the stern, clinging on for dear life. The next moment, that boat is crashing through the third floor of a building, your building.
Now Noriko, she's not too sold on this whole Kool-Aid Man gig, so she just leaps off into the air. Yoake meanwhile fucking backflips off the split second before impact, flying in behind her boat.
There's this big horrible mechanical groan, an explosion, and the room fills with dust and debris.
Okay so the boat's just obliterated, pieces of it everywhere, half of it crushed the Toaster and just ruined it, the other half shattered the Televison's armor and left it looking far worse for where. The Microwave's seen better days too.
The Fan? It is standing right where it was when the boat crashed in... which was right in front of the damn boat. Its umbrella is out, and open. Not a scratch. NOT A FUCKING SCRATCH. This motherfucker just blocked an entire fucking boat. With a fucking umbrella. It closes the umbrella, sweeps it sending a few bolts of force Shef's way, and just keeps on walking, fully ready to block whatever hell gets thrown at it next and answer it all with a few swings of its own.
05 dashes towards Yoake, trying to run her through with a series of swift thrusts, and 06 seems to have just given up on not getting chainsawed.
As the Microwave starts getting back up, it sees a glint of light and a flash of silver. One that soon eclipses its entire world. Noriko, transformed though still slightly shaken slams into it, driving her spear through its head and destroying it. The Television begins reforming its slag armor and tries to punch her in the face. Bad idea.

Those Black Halos have crazy high mobility as you can see, though as Faith demonstrated last turn, they really can't take a hit.
The Microwave was damaged and dazed by the impact so even with a 2, Noriko blindsiding it was enough to be lethal.
Oh and don't worry about the boat, Yoake has more than enough disposable income to buy another one
