Kraken was tempted to shout a warning to Mira but given she was squaring up with the dragon... He decided she was fine and now was a good time to prepare.
Kraken uses Nodens Targeting system, maximizing the damage roll of his next attack.

Captain Saejik gains 2 charges towards his AT-TE Calldown.

Feeling a bit lost for something more productive to do (how does one treat strange mud sucking at your will?), he draws his sidearm and takes a potshot at Tiamat Xeno.  She must choose to either take 5d4+14 damage from the blaster bolt, or dodge and suffer a damage debuff equal to half the damage she would have taken for 1 round due to being out of position.

Idea Disc cooldown 2 rounds

Lead from the Front cooldown 4 rounds

AT-TE Calldown 3/10

Mira enters Lunar Stance. She loses 12 MHP.

Brynn slashes at Tiamat, gashing her leg open for [42] damage. She loses 13 MHP.

Saejik scorches a spot on Tiamat's nose, dealing [33] damage. His guards lose 2 MHP each.

Kraken prepares. His grenade explodes, dealing [26] damage. He loses 11 MHP.

Tiamat charges with a roar that makes reality itself scream, bearing down on Mira - only for the powerful swordswoman to expertly redirect the creature's momentum. Tiamat Xeno careens into the wall for [56] damage to her horns.

IP highlights weak points on Tiamat Xeno for Mira and Kraken. She loses 7 MHP.

The ceiling shakes itself apart, sending a cascade of stone down onto Tiamat Xeno.

Even Elder Dragons Tremble

Stones, and a dragon covered in sharp spikes, roaring as it tears into Tiamat's flank for [850] damage. The larger dragon screams in pain, swiping at Nergigante as it leaps onto the floor to dodge, mud pooling around its claws already. Nergigante loses 100 MHP.

The Eater of Elders regards the party with its inscrutable gaze. It makes an ominous-sounding clicking noise.

Meanwhile, blue and purple sparks begin gathering in Tiamat's too-wide mouth as she glares hatefully at Nergigante. IP and Mira have the misfortune of being nearest the newcomer.

IP glanced at the massive beast that had just entered the fight. For the time being, it seems like there was a common enemy in the Trespasser, at least.

And with its the sheer damage it inflicted with that last hit... IP knew what to do.

IP uses Aim Assist on Nergigante. Its next attack will deal double damage, ignore DR, and can no longer miss or be dodged!

For a brief moment, Mira stares at Nergigante, eyes narrowing as she weights the validity of the two missions. Ultimately, the task of killing the Trespasser overruled her mission to drive off Nergigante, especially with the latter currently assisting them. Thus, she turned back to Tiamat, magra flowing into her blade as she charged.

Mira uses Half Moon: Crescent Slash on Tiamat, dealing 7d8+3d6+18 damage. She currently has no Magra, and will gain an extra in two turns.

Surprised at the sudden arrival but not about to question what she'd had a hunch of for a while now, Brynn instead made another slash with Arisen. This one was transposed at the Xeno's horns, in the vain hope that maybe there was some connection between them and the bizarre mud on the field.

Brynn slashes at Tiamat Xeno's horns with Arisen, Dealing 6d10+[14] Physical/Slashing Damage. Arisen's Dragon gauge increases to 2/7.

Kraken almost groaned when the other dragon dropped in, but the fact it wasn't attacking made him stop.
Kraken uses rapid fire with Senchou.

Brynn takes a slash at Tiamat, putting a crack in her horn. The surface of the Chaos Tide almost seems to crack as well. A hail of bullets opens a series of holes in the monster's neck and torso. IP takes careful note of these and, with Saejik's commands to the others in mind, glances at Nergigante. She points her gun at just the right spot on Tiamat, and the beast flings itself at at abomination, tearing great rents open in its side. Ichor floods from the wounds to mix with the rock and mud below as the dragons clash, with Tiamat eventually hurling Nergigante back into the air. She stumbles and nearly collapses as her breath scythes across the walls and Nergigante's belly, sending it slamming to the ground in shock. Mira catches part of the blast directly, and the entropic energy is nearly enough to fell her on the spot. . . but now the Trespasser was wide open to her blade.

As the others laid into the Trespasser, Mira had broken into a sprint, charging through the mud Nergigante threw itself at Tiamat... And was subsequently thrown off and blasted by Tiamat's breath. An attack that scythed directly into her, the black knight barely bracing in time before the blast hit her, washing over her frame and scorching her armor, the force nearly throwing her whole body back.

Yet she pressed forward, hand raised to protect her face as she took a step forward, and soon enough, the beam moved away, continuing on its path. And in that moment, Mira resumed her dash, ignoring the cracked pieces of her armor as dark energy swirled around her blade, gathering into it to crudely extend the blade's length and size. And then, once she was close enough, the black knight lifted said blade, now bigger than she was, and thrusted it directly into the Trespasser's neck, bracing her feet for a moment before she pulled the blade up, aiming to split the rest of Tiamat's neck before cleaving through its skull.

The beast shrieks one last roar before Mira's edge of darkness nearly cleaves it in two. It folds into itself, the shrill noise ascending out of hearing until, blessedly, it stops. The monster winks out of existence. The weight on reality lifts, and the party feels the primordial soup trying to overwrite their bodies dissipate more than sees it.

Nergigante growls at the party and flares up its wings. A shower of hardened spikes, coated in something dead that doesn't belong to this world, falls around the dragon. Fresh new spines peek out from where they fell. It shakes its head, and its horns follow suit, before it takes to the air again with a roar.

After Kraken had stopped blocking his ears to avoid damage from the now dead creature, he paused and looked up towards the Nergigante wondering if it was going to attack them or if it would just... fly away or something? If he was being honest he didn't really feel up to a fight with something that took down that thing that quickly....

IP scanned the skies cautiously, shield raised, wondering if the dragon was truly going to leave the team alone…

Brynn
Brynn lowered Arisen as she looked towards the heavens.

"My suspicions appear to be correct. The Nergigante is no mere brute, but rather a mechanism to help maintain balance. We are most fortunate it intervened when it did; I doubt even our combined efforts would've had the same efficacy against that... thing."

“Indeed.

It is… troubling that we need its aid to win this fight…

But discussion of that can come later. I believe we should return and report our success.”

Mira barely responds to Tiamat's death throes, and although she glared at Nergigante, she didn't move to stop the dragon either. She didn't have the strength, her arm barely holding onto her blade as it was, with the rest of her magra working to repair what was damaged from both the mud and from a direct blast of Tiamat's beam.

"Our main goal is complete. And with the Trespasser dead, I doubt it will continue its harassment" Mira said bluntly, doing her best to keep the exhaustion out of her voice.
