(Infernum Federation Hub, Third Person POV)
On Origin, the heart of the Infernum Federation, a battle to decide said Polity's fate was about to begin.
But on the other worlds in the system, most were going on with their daily lives, unaware of the fighting happening on the Capital World.
Among those going on in blissful ignorance were the Immunocytes, the inhabitants of Dhumavati. Named after a Hindu death deity, its inhabitants were perhaps the most horrifying in appearance among those in the Federation.
Not that this was a surprise. They were technocyte creatures, derived from the helminths, who had wanted a world to engineer their own strains of creatures. Dhumavati had thus been given to them, and was where they had propogated themselves. Unfortunately, there were still problems, even here - an untamed strain of infestation had escaped into this realm, and had swiftly taken over portions of the planet. Now, hordes of infested monsters roamed the world, determined to wipe out the impure siblings that they viewed the Immunocytes as.
Now, though, they were getting strange readings from a spot in space just outside their orbital range. It was like a void fissure, but not. So just what was this oddity?

"What the...what the hell? This is Williams, I have no fucking clue where we are right now. Keep your eyes peeled - we might still have stragglers from the Swarm onboard. Search the ship, see if there are any stragglers - we are not repeating what happened at Jacob's Rest."

(Flame's POV)
Hastily shoving another official to safety, I grabbed the oncoming machine and tore its head off. Viv had already crushed a few, as had our misfit band of followers and the security personnel here.
"What the hell is going on?" asked the official I had saved.
I stared at him sheepishly. "Trust me, you wouldn't believe me if I told you right now."
"What does that mean-"
"Flame, portal's open."
Sure enough, a new portal had opened.
Turned to the official. "I have to go now, those things should follow us, and with luck, me and my associates will never see you again."
Not waiting for a response, I barrel through the portal, with Vivian right behind me….wait, why were there two girls on the other side, one wearing what looked like a maid's outfit-OHSITI'MGONNACOLLIDEWITHTHEMARGH!
XXXXXXXXXXX
(third person POV)
Dazed, M4A1 opened her eyes. For a moment, she had no idea what had happened, before a look around brought things back into focus.
Lying next to her was a human - a man to be specific, though since they were wearing a mask, she could only assume their gender from their body shape, while a few feet away was...
"Stupid...Griffin...Trash..."
Was Agent...oh no.
A groan turned the two T-Dolls' attention toward the human, who was starting to get back up. He only managed to starting curling upwards before Agent slammed her heel onto his belly.
"...Get...off...of...me," rasped the human.
"...No. All humans must be terminated," answered the Sangvis Doll, leveling her oddly placed guns at him.
"...Fine, the hard way then."
Then the human put his hands on the ground and pushed. The normally stoic agent let out a surprised gasp as she was sent flying, while the human hastily got to his feet.
"Where's the portal, where's the portal, where's the-THERE!"
The human was staring at a glowing light of some sort. Immediately, he started to make his was toward the light...only for a horde of Sangvis units to block his path.
Not for long, though. Without warning, another human - a girl, going off of body shades - literally barrely through the machines, pulverizing some and sending others flying.
"Let's go," she shouted.
M4 only briefly watched them leave...in part because she suddenly found herself being carried toward them by a strange group of creatures!
"W-wait, put me down!"
The creatures ignored her, though they did end up coming to a stop...but only because Agent blocked their path. Instantly, her weapons zeroed in on the AR team member.
"This is the end of the line, Griffin Trash."
A discarded can flew at Agent's head, which only served to annoy her. The human who had collided with M4 and Agent had been the source of the can, and was now trying to whack Agent with a discarded pipe...which promptly broke in half.
Agent was clearly nonplussed. "You embarrass yourself, human."
"Says the gynoid who shows people her panties when attacking."
That seemed to set Agent off. "You insolent-"
CRUNCH
For a moment, everyone just stared at the human, who's leg was now extended in front of him...and who's foot was currently pulverizing Agent's groin area.
Then a high-pitched noise sounded from Agent as she collapsed, face red, eyes glossy and pained looking.
The human turned toward M4. "Sorry about that. You run along and-"
A mechanical roar turned everyone's collective attentions back behind them, where a swarm of strange looking machines had suddenly appeared and were barreling right toward the group.
"Aw shit, run!"
M4 barely had time to process those words before the human grabbed her and started running toward the portal, though not before literally punting Agent away from both the portal and the machines.
...Now M4 felt bad for Agent. Somehow.

Elsewhere in the same universe, at GK HQ
"What do you mean that a T-Doll shipment just vanished?!"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Helianthus, but the delivery group said that something happened and now the only thing they have from the shipment is the staff who were driving it."
Helian pinched her nose. Just...just...how had this happened?! One moment she had been preparing to receive a report from the AR Team regarding their mission, the next she was dealing with someone claiming that a delivery truck had vanished through what people were calling a portal! Who had even thought this was something that concerned her?!
Could this day get any worse?
(Not a spoiler: it was definitely about to get worse)
XXXXXXXXXXX
(Rory's POV)
"Sub-Commander, it appears that a truck filled with gynoids wielding outdated weapons was just sent through another portal."
I sighed. "Tell the Nebula Cell to pick them up. Also, divert our medieval guests to a safer location, accept for the archers."
"Are you referring to the Ashford Legions, the Warborne, and the Chosen?"
"...Yes."

(Third Person POV)
XCOM Sgt. Anisa Perez barely managed to roll out of the way as the Frostclaw swiped at her. Groaning, Perez (also known as Rogue) fired her plasma rifle at the ursine-machine, aiming for the head and freeze modules. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to hit the machine before it struck her with its left paw, sending her hurtling away.
Without missing a beat, the machine moved to finish her...only to be blow away by an explosive. A moment later, the Nora Seeker Aloy leapt over a nearby rock and fired a pair of arrows into the machine's processor, finally knocking it offline. Paying no mind to the one she had saved, Aloy charged forward into battle - there were more in need of saving.
AN: Soundtrack Start: Miracle of Sound - Force of Nature
Rolling into a bush, Aloy barely managed to avoid the notice of a corrupted watcher, which she promptly put an arrow in. How this Faro machine was able to produce normal ones eluded her. But that wasn't unimportant - besting this machine, on the other hand, was.
Taking aim, Aloy let loose another arrow, this one taking out a corrupted scrapper. More arrows flew by, with the Seeker only pausing to impale a watcher with the lance Sylens had gifted to her.
The barrage only halted when a stalker pounced on her. Before it could deal a killing blow, though, a strange being wielding clawed gauntlets teleported up to her and impaled the machine through the head. An opportunistic group of glinthawks trying to get in a kill met the same fate when what looked like for hellish dog shot fireballs at them. One final machine, a ravager, attempted to take them all on, only to be set alight by a familiar face - the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, who offered the Seeker a hand.
Just as she stood up, a new sound filled Aloy's ears. Turning toward it, she found the Sekhmet disgorging another Faro machine - a Deathbringer.
Aloy stared at it for a moment, before turning to her right. There, her grazer was staring at her.
Smiling, Aloy hopped atop it and made her way toward the Khopesh.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Unnoticed to Aloy, a corrupted Thunderjaw was zeroing in on her, ready to strike...only to be diverted at the last moment when something slammed into it. Dazed, the machine turned to find Theseus standing on a nearby rock, wielding a strange-looking blade and a bizarre wrist mounted gauntlet - a clutch claw, only recently developed following certain oddities that Astera wanted explored.
AN: Soundtrack Start: Miracle of Sound - Place in Nature
Roaring, the Thunderjaw opened fire, only for Theseus to block the onslaught with his blade. A moment later, a bomb pod flew out of his slinger, blasting the machine's jaws, and taking out its cannon in the process. Enraged, the machine moved to use its disc launcher, but only got a few shots off before a meowlotov cocktail blew the launcher off.
Never underestimate a hunter's companions. Especially if they were riding a cross between a cobra and a komodo dragon, which was not trying to tear into your back.
Howling in surprise, the Thunderjaw tried to shake its foe off, only for Theseus to use the clutch claw to grapple onto its face. After punching it toward the direction that he wanted it to run toward, Theseus unloaded all of his slinger ammo into the machine, sending it charge...right into a field of blast sling proximity bombs.
As the machine collapsed, Theseus and his companions leapt to safety, before wailing on the machine while it was still tipped over. Only when it managed to right itself did they back off.
They still had a long way to go to finish this thing off.
XXXXXXXXXX
(Flame's POV)
We're in another world now, where one guy was about to kill another man and oh god is that the Infinity Blade?!
My gushing was cut short when more of those machines showed up. Additionally, much to my surprise there were two exit portals for us to leave in.
Hastily, we charged through, though not before I grabbed the armored man who was about to be executed. If I knew who this was, sparing him was probably for the best.
Unfortunately for me, Vivian and half of our followers entered the other portal. I could only hope we'd meet up again.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
(Third Person POV)
The Stolen who dwelled within the portal nexus felt their link on the Commander slipping - already they were losing access to the portals they had opened to help him return. Void didn't even know they were helping him, but her mass portal opening was disrupting their link to the boy. They needed to get him back soon, or else they would lose the link forever.
Fortunately, there were six more universes they could send them through that would eventually lead him home. The link would last for at least ten more universes, which would make this rescue...almost child's play.
XXXXXXXX
(Flame's POV)
I'm in a fantasy world now, where a bunch of kids are trying to fight off some kind of monster. With more machines on my tail, I hastily grabbed the trio in front of me and made a break for the exit portal.
I wonder where Vivian ended up?
XXXXXXXXXX
(Viv's POV)
As I jumped through the portal, I worried about the kid who had grabbed onto me in shock - it looked like he was pretty important here, since he had a bunch of guards and seemed to be in some kind of royal court.
But letting him stay would leave him at the mercy of these machines. And htat was unacceptable.
I just hope I didn't screw things up too much.
XXXXXX
(Flame's POV)
Exiting the portal, I found myself in a laboratory under attack. I wonder what they are researching...wait, does that wall say Sarif Inustries?
...I'm in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, during the prologue.
...Time to bail before the Illuminati goes after my ass. I'd like to help Jensen save the world, but right now, getting everyone following me to safety takes priority.
Though I did end up killing a few of the terrorists launching the attack before I found the exit porta. Not much, but maybe I saved a few scientists who would not have survived in canon?
XXXXXXXXXXX
(Viv's POV)
I found myself running through a run down hotel, where some police (I think?) were battling off a group of cyborg terrorists while a sand storm rolled in. After helping one of the police to safety, I guided my entourage through the nearest portal, taken extra precautions to shield my small cargo from the storm of bullets around us.
I really hoped I'd meet up with Flame again in the next universe we went to.
XXXXXXXXXX
(Synais' POV, third-person)
As the sniper bots teleported around, targeting the Sekhmet's joints, Synais couldn't help but laugh. Die, you evil machine, die!
Unable to see her foes, Void responded by firing a barrage of artillery at them, only for it to harmlessly impact on an energy shield deployed by Kathikon. Moment's later, a counter barrage was unleashed by SABRs under the control of Fide. The rain was coming, and it was burning hot!
The Sekhmet readied another attack, only to get jumped on by several strange biological creations - lithe lizard-like creatures under the control of Cassidy, and gorilla-esque ones under the command of Leal. No way thery were giivng it an opening!
XXXXXXXXXX
(Flame's POV)
Upon exiting the portal, I found myself in another world, this one more inline with the modern one - there were a bunch of people here taking notes as someone spoke...well, at least until I showed up. I barely had time to snicker at their stupid expressions of shock before bolting through the nearby door, already trying ot find the portal...oh, there's Viv.
"Nice to see you again, my former pawn!"
"Yeah, yeah, let's find the portal first, then snark."
"I have energy scanners in my armor, and I think this one is outside."
"Alright, let's go there."
Paying no mind to the crowd gawking at us, we made our way up to the top of this school...only for someone to blast me with fire as we neared the door. That hurt. Hastily shoving him aside (just enough to bruise him), we smashed through the doors and entered the portal.
I really hoped I could get back to the hub soon. Who knows what Void is doing to my protectorates?
XXXXXXX
Third Person POV
The various Umbrella Corporation scientists just barely had time to notice the portals forming before a disorganized mob of beings darted from one portal into the other. One of them, which appeared to be human but with a noticeably unnatural right arm, shed a portion of his flesh before he vanished through the portal.
When the last of the mob vanished, the staff stared at the leftover flesh for a moment, before one of the recent hires decided to call the shift manager.
Then he made plans to quit and go to get psychiatric help. This place was insane.
And said employee didn't even know about the Wesker Children or Umbrella's other questionable projects.
XXXXXXXXXX
(Cassidy's POV)
As the madness continued around us, my Mesa darted across the battlefield, Akvasto firing off at every enemy in sight. Behind me, Rory was using an Oberon to take on a corrupted Stormbird with measured yet powerful blows.
The Sekhmet roared at us, but unfortunately for Void, that was all she could do - there were too many other things attacking her to possibly allow her to focus on us.
Bring it on, bitch! We're gonna crush you however you try to stop us!
XXXXXXX
(Flame's POV)
The portal we exited from deposited us in an open field, with no signs of civilization nearby. There was a crowd of people there, though, who wore medieval attire, and they all looked a little scared.
Taking pity on them, I lowered my weapons, trying to appear less threatening, eyes always looking around in search of the next portal.
"It's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you. None of us will hurt you."
One of the kids perked up at this. Instantly, her eyes were on me and Vivian, scrutinizing every part of us.
"...Are you a hero of the Order?"
I quirked an eyebrow at that statement, but Vivian best me to asking for clarification. "The Order?"
"..The Order of the Chief God."
...Oh. We're here.
Suddenly, I heard a shrieking sound above us. Without even hesitating to look, I fired off a shot. A moment later, an incredibly sensual looking harpy fell to the ground, her chest now only a hole.
Yep, we were in MGE. And there's a horde of harpy monster girls headed our way. Instantly, Viv and me took up positions to shoot them down...only for a barrage of missiles to reduce the flock into heaps of flesh and gore. Confused, we turned around...and found a Tenno with an archwing looking at us in surprise.
"Commander?"
"...What are you doing here?"
"Some Sentients found a portal leading to this world and went through. We tried to convince them to come back, but it turns out the Sentients can evolve to resist DE, and managed to figure out a way to destroy it. Now they've taken over this land that has failing crops and are trying to evacuate some scattered villages to the hub."
"...So I can assume there is a portal back home here?"
"Yes."
"Good, lead the way...wait, are we being followed?"
"There are orcs, a succubus, some amazons, and other monster girls...mamono...by the void, that just sounds weird to say. But no, we aren't being followed - their just happens to be a group of rape-happy monsters trying to attack the portal anyway."
Oh joy. The most rape happy monsters in the setting were here, and they wanted to enter my not-so-perfect-but-still-better-than-here world. "Need some help repelling them?"
"Sure. Also, some lizardmen from this world entered our DE destroying field and...they got weird."
I gave them a blank glance, but Vivian beat me to asking for clarification. "Define weird."
"...Some turned into lizardmen...as in, definitely men. And some turned back into lizard people without the human traits. Also, a bunch of Valkyries wanted to join us in 'saving the innocent humans and bringing the light of the chief god to our world'. Should we...oblige them? it is your lands that we would be bringing them to."
I glanced over at Viv. On the one hand, they were from a setting that was basically covered in magic rape-cancer, and were essentially tumors for said cancer. On the other hand, we had a way to remove said cancer, these were genuinely good-hearted beings as long as they didn't become Dark Valkyries, and killing them just for who they were was definitely crossing a line.
Viv's reaction told me exactly what I needed to know.
"Let them through...but keep them in custody until they've been checked for DE corruption."
"Sure. Also, I'm not sure I am ever going to be interested in marriage after visiting this place. Or sexual relations."
"This place is a sexual shithole. The fact you don't have frothing at the mouth hatred or all-consuming lust is a testament to your own willpower."
XXXXXXX
(Vivian's point of view)
As the portal finally came in sight, we saw several Tenno and Sentients assisting the humans of this world against the monster girls. Already, corpses from those sex-fiends littered the ground around the portal, where a few people were finishing up retreating into Flame's hub. Without hesitation, I charged at one of the orc-girls, literally reducing her to a chunky mess all over the area. The group of amazons and dark elves saw this and took offense, immediately moving to try and get revenge on me.
The body parts started flying shortly after that.
These...things...were an insult to monster girls, to monsters in general, and to the female sex. Oh sure, some women could certainly be lustful. Some also chose to wear as little as possible. The same could be said of men. And there was nothing wrong about there being cute looking monster girls - My former pawn did like the Nasuverse version of the Oni Ibaraki Doji, if I remembered right. Though she had needed to grow on him first.
These creatures, though? They were caricatures of sentient beings, whose existence only drove this world to ruin. If they did not begun more docile and less rape-happy in an environment that our friends had confirmed was destroying the Demonic Energy that made them into these perverted abominations, then they were beyond salvation.
I briefly paused from my slaughter to stare in shock as a cursed sword impaled her blade upon a Tenno. For a moment, I thought she might transform, only for the Tenno to break the blade with their hands and ram the remains right through the mamono's heart.
I slew three more of the perverted wenches before finally seeing my commander again, now fighting a succubus, which appeared to be the leader of the force. All around him lay the bodies of slain monster-girls, remains reduced to mangled messes by my ally's anger. Instantly, I was glad to have made peace with him - the slaughter he had unleashed was almost impossible to believe. The succubus (thankfully not a lilim) was holding him at bay, but she was slowly succumbing to his onslaught of blows.
I barely managed to pull myself out of my observations in time to block an attack from a high orc. The dark skinned bitch (no racism intended - this one just happened to look exactly like the art KC had posted for the species, which had much darker skin than the average orc) leered at me, a predatory smile on her lips.
"So, is that your man over there?" she questioned, a sneer now taking up her face.
"No."
"Oh, really? You certainly seemed enamored by him. Maybe you' like to claim him as your own?"
I tried to headbutt her, only for the boar monster girl to pull away at the last minute. "Nah."
"Well, then maybe I'll claim him. He'd certainly look a lot nicer between my-"
I wasn't going to give her the chance to finish that statement. Letting go of my weapons, I impaled my fingers into her stomach, then pulled. Within moments, everything below her neck was flayed off with my bare hands. Her screaming was cut short when I ripped out her heart and crushed it.
Turning back to Flame, I found that he was busy punching the shit of succubus, eventually hitting her head so hard it exploded. Humorously, I noted that if it weren't for the punching, people might have assumed that she succeeded in making him fall for her.
"Had enough time to vent your anger?"
He looked at me, mildly annoyed. "Yes. Now let's get back to my home."
Eh, no sense in waiting.
XXXXXXX
(Flame's POV)
Exiting the portal, I was delighted to find all of the refugees being settled in and-wait, why was I getting a ton of alerts?
"Synais, this is Flame, what the hell is going on-"
"DAD YOU'RE BACK!"
..What? "yes, I am, Rory. I am sorry for scaring you. Now, what's going on-"
"The machine named Void got through the portal and is trying to take over this world and probably kill us. Um, can I have some help."
What. The. Fuck?! "Wait, we're under attack?"
"EYS!" shouted the voice of Cassidy. "NOW HURRY UP AND HELP US WIN!"
"I don't think so," replied a feminine voice I recognized as belonging to Void. Then without warning, portals opened in front of me and Viv, out of which came mechanical tentacles that grabbed us and pulled us through.
The arms slammed us into the ground, we managed to get out of the way before the machine could follow through with the attack. As soon as we were upright, we opened fire, only for the machine to counter with rocket blast. We managed to dodge out of the way...only for a second barrage to hit us, sending us flying into the air. Another barrage followed, and another, and it soon became apparent that the machine was using less powerful rockets just for the purpose of juggling us through the air. Only when it seemed ready to finish us did we finally hit the ground.
Dazed, beaten, blasted, and exhausted, my whole body ached. Desperately, I tried to force myself up, only for my arms to fail me. Glancing to my right, I saw that Vivian wasn't in much better shape herself. In the distance, a Faro machine (which according to some information I was being fed, was known as the Sekhmet and was under the control of Void) ambled toward us, apparently wanting to be close enough that it could see us die.
..Come on...get up...
AN: Soundtrack Start - Miracle of Sound: All As One
Come on...I need to get up.
Stumble from the Ashes

But They Tell Me That I Must
Right beside me, Vivian was having the same problems..
Maker's Sign or False Divine

...but against the odds, we managed to get back up...only for the machine to lock on to us and fire.
Hardened Are These Fateful Scars I Bear
We fell over, flinching...only for three warframes to jump in front of us, one a volt that project a shield to save us from death.
Stand Side By Side
Carry All As One
As the other two turned toward us, identifiers finally arrived:
One, in an Oberon, was Rory.
The other, in a Mesa, was Cassidy.
We Can Bare This Weight.
While the Volt (who I could now see was Cyreesia) reloaded its weapons, our Children approached us.
Stand Side By Side
We Won't Come Undone
Then they extended their hands.
"Let's do this," they said in unison.
For a moment, we both hesitated...before smiling.
For The Hands That Will Carry Us Home Are Touched By Fate.
Immediately after, we took their hands.
Hold On, Hold On To What You Strive For.
As we stood tall, we grabbed our weapons and got into position.
Hold On, Hold On To What You Fight For
HOPE!
Another attack was launched, only for the five of us to jump out of the way, firing back at the machine in defiance.
Get Up And Fight!
The machine reeled back in shock, giving us time to pull up some discarded deathbringer guns and start inflicting real damage on it.
BREAK!
As the machine tried to relocate us, Vivian and me turned toward helping clear the rest of the battlefield, while our children focused on bringing down Void.
XXXXXXXXXX
(Vivian's POV)
I charged forward toward Theseus, just barely managing to knock a Stormbird off course from him. The hunter in question paid me no mind, instead focusing on killing off the Thunderjaw he was fighting.
Through The Fade And Leafy Shade
And Scorching Desert Sands
Nearby, Flame used a fire spell I had taught him to damage a Deathbringer, giving Aloy an opening to hit its weakpoints.
Lift People From Their Pain

A snapmaw tried to roast them, only for Geralt to roast it with Igni.
Nearby, a Limbo-wielding Tenno used the rift-plane to escape getting blasted by a corruptor.

Then he teleported it into the Rift Plane and one-shotted it with an Opticor.

Moments later, an artillery barrage from Leal of all people helped clear out some trash machines.

Then Lernea followed it up with an airstrike, taking out a swarm of corruptors.

(Cassidy's POV)
STAND SIDE BY SIDE
CARRY ALL AS ONE
WE CAN BARE THIS WEIGHT!
Turning away from beating up the Sekhmet, I watched as my mother and Rory's father aided our allies in disposing of the machines.
The Thunderjaw ended up having the misfortune of stepping onto a shock trap, while the Deathbringer found itself entangled amid ropecaster rounds.
STAND SIDE BY SIDE
WE WON'T COME UNDONE
FOR THE HANDS THAT WILL CARRY US HOME
ARE TOUCHED BY FATE!
Smiling, Theseus used his slinger to pull himself in for the kill
HOLD ON, HOLD ON TO WHAT YOU STRIVE FOR!
Aloy, meanwhile, took aim and let loose an arrow.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON TO WHAT YOU FIGHT FOR
Both attacks hit at the same time.
HOPE!
Instantly, the machines went down.
Smiling, I turned my attention toward the Sekhmet once more.
The machine had no way of expressing anger, but I could tell it was mad. It immediately took aim at us and fired, only for its missiles to be shot out of the sky by Adeline and her men. A barrage of our missiles soon followed, blowing some of Void's armor off.
Desperate, she launched a swarm of Death Shadows at us, only for Jegudiel and Lernea to send them all careening into the ground.
Wooooah
Woooooah
When that failed, she deployed a pair of Deathbringers at us...which only got halfway to us before being tackled by a pair of Old Fatalis and subsequently incinerated.
Wooooah
Woooooah
Smiling, I took aim and started shooting at the machine.
Wooooah
Woooooah
Soon, everyone else joined.
Wooooah
WOOOOOOAAH!
yeah, this thing was doomed...wait, what was Rory telling me?
...Oh, that sounded AWESOME!
XXXXXX
(Rory's POV)
Smiling as everyone acknowledged my plan, I started running toward the Sekhmet. My father, Vivian and Cassidy soon followed.
Just as the machine readied to fire, a hail of gunfire surged toward it, forcing the machine backwards.
STAND SIDE BY SIDE
CARRY ALL AS ONE
WE CAN BARE THIS WEIGHT!
Soon aircraft and artillery joined in the attack, forcing it back even further and tearing sheets of its armor off.
STAND SIDE BY SIDE
WE WON'T COME UNDONE
FOR THE HANDS THAT WILL CARRY US HOME ARE TOUCHED BY FATE
Without missing a beat, Vivian chanted a few words and then gestured, freezing the machine in place.
FIGHT FOR YOUR VALUES
AND FIGHT FOR YOUR FRIENDS
FIGHT THORUGH THIS BLIGHT
FIND THE LIGHT AT THE END
My dad followed up by calling a satellite laser on the machine's head, blasting it open.
THROUGH THE AGE OF THE DRAGON
THROUGH CHAOS AND HATE
THE HANDS THAT WILL CARRY US HOME
ARE TOUCHED BY FATE!
Then Cassidy called down a velocitus and charged it up.
My dad, meanwhile, extended his hand
HOLD ON
HOLD ON TO WHAT YOU STRIVE FOR
As Cassidy fired the railgun, I took my dad's hand, and was promptly hurled into the air.
HOLD ON
HOLD ON TO WHAT YOU FIGHT FOR
The minute Cassidy hit her target, the machine exploded...which sent Void's form hurtling into the air, where she flailed about pathetically.
...Especially when she saw me in the air, holding a Galatine
HOPE
HOPE
HOPE
Immediately I surged downwards, quite literally tearing her in half with my cleave.
HOPE
HOPE
HOPE!
As soon as I landed, I followed it up with a void beam. Stay dead, you bucket of bolts.
As the Sekhmet's husk fell to ruin, I turned to my dad. "...We did it."
My dad smiled at me, just as Vivian did to Cassidy. "Yeah, we did...and I am so proud of you right now."
I was not crying back in the safety on my dad's tower. Everyone who says otherwise is lying.
Though I will admit I gave him a glomp...at least until he started feeling unsteady.
"Um, sorry to ruin the moment, but I need to go lie down now."
...Yeah, dad and Vivian probably needed a rest right now.
I just hope all of the new arrivals could reserve their questions until they woke up.
