The Great Sea
Words: 754

Blazermate had never really gone far out to sea. Sure her home was an island and there was the occasional flight to other countries for medabattles, but she had never really been on the ocean. It was kind of relaxing... if she didn't have to go towards a large scale fight. Their journey there wasn't too eventful, with Blazermate taking the same ship as Ms Fortune. Before they departed while the others were chatting, Blazermate listened, getting an idea of her new team mates as she healed everyone to build medaforce for the battle ahead. Sakura reminded her of a naieve meta battler with their head in the clouds unaware of some of the wrongs that people could do to you if you knew you had a rare medal. Seeing as she was busy talking to the others, Blazermate decided to chat with Geralt.

"Hiya Geralt. Whats going on?" Blazermate said, trying to start a conversation. With how grizzled Geralt looked, Blazermate was sure he wasn't much of a talker. but he seemed nice enough, and while the two haven't seen the same kind of battles, they were battle hardened enough even before coming to this realm of light from the looks of it. Blazermate listened to Geralt before asking her next question. "Hm. how do you think this'll end? Sakura made friends with one of the 'enemies' apparently, so do you think once we beat the guardian both sides will be friends or still locked in what seems to be an endless war?"

Later as Blazermate was aboard Shippy she heard talk about murders in the town when Blazermate and Ms Fortune were traveling it came up, with Sephiroth being the culprate. "Well, yeah, hes not here. But he isn't galeem'd, so he should be a good guy right?" Blazermate said scratching her head. he hadn't been really all that hostile when they met him, although Bowser's emotional state at the time did turn him hostile, that was just an effect of galeem. "Well whatever, we've got a fight! Make sure you all go in overhealed!"

Once they got into the thick of the action, things went form 0 to 100 real fast. Well, in Bowser's case it did. Did the guy have to turn into a giant every time he fought? And on an airship non the less? Still, with Bowser causing an insane amount of damage to the abyssal fleet before them. However Blazermate's sensors went off when Shippy was being attacked, with Ms. Fortune and Link barely keeping the abyssals off. What Blazermate didn't expect was to see the health of the ship as if it was a living thing. Granted she was a bit busy blocking the attacks of abyssals with her shield, making sure they didn't bother Link and Ms Fortune as she healed them, her shield retaliating by biting the abyssals arm and infecting them with the poison of undeath. Being infected, ocne they were struck down by Link or Ms Fortune, they would rise again as a zombie under the command of Blazermate and turning on its former allied abyssals.

"You guys could use a hand! I've got one made out of a demon! Just make sure to beat what I bite." Blazermate said, holding her shield aloft as she tried to figure out where to attach her healing beam to Shippy to heal her as Brimybeard called out that she needed massive repairs. it didn't take long for Blazermate to figure out that she could just attach the beam anywhere, starting to heal the ship. "I wont lie, this is weird healing a ship." Blazermate said, using her shield to bite into her zombie abyssal to mutate it further, turning it into one heck of an abomination, way worse than what it was before. Due to healing everyone on the way, Blazermate already started this fight with full Medaforce, and asked Brinybeard. "Hey, while I heal your ship, can she do anything cool?" Blazermate asked. Seeing his ship starting to slowly patch itself up thanks to Blazermate's medibeam, Brinybeard relaxed a little and put his hands together. "O course lass! Shippy, get ready!" Brinybeard said.

Blazermate had no idea what was going to happen, and with a large bird coming out of the island making a beeline for the group, blazermate hoped it was something good. "OK shippy, whatever your going to do, do it when you feel super powerful! Ready?" And with that said, Blazermate gave Shippy a dose of Krtizkrieg. And man, was she in for a show.

Sectonia was a bit weary of this 'mercenary' following so close to her, with her new 'friend' along for the right, riding in one of her hands. This fluffy creature was incredibly light, as if its body WAS made of only frosting. This made Sectonia not as reluctant to carry her new Alcremie as she would've been. Still, she didn't like the stink eye this mercenary was giving her, saying. "I can give you a picture of my regal stature later as payment if your so interested."

As they continued down the path, one of the phantom theives stepped in a place where they shouldn't have, unleashing a geyser of orange soda which quickly crystallized around him. One of the other phantom theives in a panic, started to attack the crystal and gave it a crack fairly easily. Seeing this as a good time to try something, Sectonia said. "I'd like to se why your so feared. Could you show your power and break this one out of his crystal prison?" Putting its hand to its chest, or rather her chest, the Alcremie asked to be brought closer to the crystal via body language, and as Sectonia did so, the Alcremie kissed the crystal. with a use of Draining Kiss, the alcremie left a sizable crack, draining the structural integrity of the crystal to make it easier for others to break.

Sectonia was impressed with this attack. Apparently this thing was indeed some kind of mimic, luring in others before draining them. Although if this was the case then why didn't it do the same to her antillion? They might be Sectonia's minions, but they were also fairly strong in their own right. Perhaps the fact that Sectonia and her minions showed no hostile intentions at the time? Or did this thing just want to follow someone really strong? food for thought later.

With Skull freed from his prison and a bit of a comedy routine between him and his friend panther, the group continued on. Tora, unable to contain his hunger, while riding in Poppi's arms, decided to try to eat one of the candy bugs. What happened next... Sectonia was glad she didn't try the same thing as Tora's hand turned into some kind of doughnut abomination soon after he proclaimed how delicious that bug was. Sectonia's Alcremie looked at Tora with narrow eyes, with Sectonia facepalming, secretly thankful he took this bullet. Wether it was an affliciton or a spirit merge Sectonia didn't know, neither did the phantom theives, but they were hopeful it would be resolved soon. "Just don't eat your own hand. Although I'm sure our Doctor friend here would love to make you a new one." Sectonia said ominously to Tora.

After a few more paths they found themselves in an eerily quiet village, well, quiet besides the two giant galeem controlled robots glaring at them with malice in their eyes. "Looks like there will be a fight up ahead." Sectonia said, getting ready to fight the bots as they drew closer.

The drones were endless in the air, and with Sectonia being the groups only major source of AA, their numbers still swarmed even though she thinned them out. Her light ring on the large sand shark thing chasing the group did some damage, but it wasn't enough to take it down. Everyone below meanwhile was still making their way to the sugary wonderland ahead, still getting swarmed with the bots below but making steady progress. Having to deal with the majority of the AA herself, Sectonia was the last of the group to make it over the precipice, needing to rapidly blink to get past the intensifying swarms that assaulted her person.

A bit battered, but feeling better by the moment thanks to her new magical item, Sectonia observed the same thing that everyone else was seeing; a vast wonderland made out of baked goods, sweets, candies, and all sorts of things an insect lady would absolutely adore. Having run there, much of the group was a bit weary of eating the food, especially considering some of the creatures here while they looked sweet, were actually quite dangerous. Almost as if this area was the same as a deep jungle, but made out of a more clearly open area, with how aggressive some of the wildlife looked. Even then, while some creatures looked quite... amalglamic... others looked fairly clean and proper.

One of these creatures Midna seemed to show some concern over above all others, a small thing made out of air fluffed cream with strawberries as hairclips. And unlike some of the other wildlife here, it seemed most of the area's wildlife ignored these puffs of cream, showing the same weariness as Midna. Could this thing really be that powerful for how small it was? Either way, it did know how to keep itself looking proper even if 'cute' wasn't exactly the same as 'beautiful', they were still close. As the others decided what they were going to do, Sectonia summoned a single green Antillion, commanding it to try to make friendly relations to one of the small cream creatures. After all, she wasn't going to risk her own neck right away when she had minions to do it for her in case this thing was incredibly deceptive in appearance.

The Alcremie, just freely wandering through the candy landscape seemingly with no care in the world, didn't really react much when the Antillion approached it. While the cream pokemon kept its eye on the Antillion much like a predator would its pray, it didn't show any signs of aggression as the antillion approached peacefully, as ordered by Sectonia. The Alcremie wasn't the fastest thing out there, but it didn't need to be when things approached it. Still, seeing as this non candy creature wasn't either weary nor aggressive towards it, the Alcremie stood there and watched what the antillion did. Once the antillion got close enough to the alcremie, it kneeled down and extended one of its hands to see what the pokemon would do, and after a few moments, the cream pokemon waddled up to the antillion wearily. All this happening while the others were looking around, trying to figure out where to scout with Midna offering to scout a bit ahead.

"Hm... Some of these creatures don't seem all that hostile." Sectonia said, pointing out how the Alcremie was just string at her kneeling antillion, not making any hostile motions or anything nor trying to attack it. Seeing as they had been staring at each other for a bit, Sectonia ordered her antillion to gently bring the creature to her. The Alcremie only stared deadpan at the Antillion when it went to pick it up, giving it the look of "If you try anything, I'll end you.". No doubt this area wasn't nearly as sweet as it looked.

Following the queen's order, the Antillion brought the Alcremie to Sectonia. Sectonia looked at the creature with curious eyes, while the Alcremie did the same. Both also gave the impression they'd destroy the other if either side tried anything, leading to a tense atmosphere. "Hm. As I thought, you look quite nice, especially compared to the other creatures around here. You have some elegance to you." Sectonia said, looking at the cream 'mon. The mon in return looked at her still weary, but not as deadpan at this remark. "Can you talk?" Sectonia asked, noticing the higher intelligence this creature seemed to show compared to your basic wildlife. The Alcremie could only say its namesake in return, either its whole name, or the phonetic parts of its name. This made Sectonia remember that a few of the people in other teams had things like this. They were called Pokemon and spoke in the same manner. They were also quite powerful, even if they were small. They were also, from what she was told, easy to make friends with, although friendship to Sectonia probably didn't mean the same thing as it did for others.

"So you can understand me, but can't speak anything but your name. Curious. Well, no matter. Seeing as you live here, would you care to guide me and my escort here through this area? In return, 'we' can protect you and if you'd like to see what exists beyond this candy scape, 'we' can help with that." Sectonia using the royal version of 'we', which seemed to go over the Alcremie's head. The 'mon looked at the group before it, turning around to see everyone before giving Sectonia a look of "I'm not afraid of things here. But sure, that is fine." before offering out its little hand to shake. The queen gave the 'mon one of her fingers to shake, as they had quite the size difference between the two. "Very good. I am Queen Sectonia. Let us see what perils this.... interesting land holds." Sectonia said, concluding their deal, looking at the deserts in the distance with a bit of lust, but managing to keep herself in check.

Midna was going towards the person who was calling for help with a few of the group skeptical thinking it was a trap. This area did still exist after all while being an area that many, many creatures would devour in an instant, so things here had to either be incredibly dangerous, deceptive, or outright strong to live here. So the queen kept an eye on the twilight princess as she moved along.

Her attention was ripped away though as a newcomer approached the group, looking 'normal' and not made of candy. However that made this person look very shady being so out of place, and her demur didn't help matters much. Sectonia said, watching this newcomer. "Not exactly. Its a dessert desert. Thats the best I can gather."

Blazermate did surprise Ms. Fortune with catching up with her, but this didn't bother the cat lady for too long. In fact she looked happy having a partner to follow her around the city. Seeing that she did have a guest, Ms. Fortune decided to look at what was going on inside the arena that lay before herself and Blazermate, offering the Medabot the choice to join her in watching the match. Blazermate obliged, and the two entered the colossieum. Inside Blazermte wasn't sure what she was going to expect, but she wasn't expecting a floating water bubble where various aquatic people were going to fight! "I am so glad we don't have meda arenas like this, otherwise I don't think I'd be as useful. There aren't that many aquatic medabots though, so even if we did I doubt they'd be as popular." Blazermate said as the two watched the spectacle.

==========================================

The next day arrived with a blast of light from the Dead Zone, the thing they had been warned of having gone off at this point. "So glad that's over with. Wonder if there are any spirits left." Blazermate said, curious as to what was left of the dead zone after the massive blast. With Ms fortune in toe, the two of them made their way to the meeting spot with everyone else. There were tons of shipgirls all lined up, ready for the assault, alongside other ships, one of which had Bowser's face on it. "Well we know which one is his." Blazermate said, pointing at Bowser's ship with her thumb. Blazermate then went to assist a few of the other ship girls before approaching the koopa family and the group, as it definitely looked like they were preparing for quite a fight.

Seeing as there was a bit of a gathering in an area, Blazermate approached that, waiting for whatever was going on to happen. inside this group however, she saw a new person alongside Sakura, someone who Blazermate had very little interaction with and who looked like they were from Japan as well and the others. This new person however looked like they were making some of the shipgirls a bit uneasy, so Blazermate waited to see what was going to happen with all of this before she did anything else. Geralt definitely looked concerned, which didn't help matters much at all.

It didn't take long for the rest of the group to find their way down the sand slide. With the sun going down, the party traveled along a pathway in the sand. However while traveling, a bright explosion of light could be seen on the horizon. This was a strange occurrence, and Sectonia was curious as to what exactly was going on. Midna was too, and got to getting the answers faster than Sectonia, summoning a moogle to discuss matters. Sectonia listened in to their conversation, and learned that the Dead Zone had apparently exploded, with most of the dead zone members making it out, with one of them being abducted by an "organization 13", which Sectonia only heard mentions of from some of the others. When Midna was done, Sectonia said. "From what I heard, good riddance to that area. Although I have a feeling that area isn't finished. Not if this 'mysterious' organization 13 were poking around there."

After traveling for a bit, what Sectonia saw made her do a double take, slapping herself to make sure what she was seeing was real. "Is this some kind of joke? Trying to make a desert out of dessert?" Sectonia said, a very complex emotion on her face made of a combination of confusion, laughter, joy, and disbelief. The bee queen did enjoy her sweets and sweet things, especially stuff made of honey although frosting was also pretty good. With her astonishment gone, she clapped her hands together saying. "Well, shall we get going?"

"Brown Sugar? Hm... Not sure how I feel about that." Sectonia commented at Midna's obersvation, having an affinity with sweet things, but also noting that the sand she slid on could be sugar, which can be difficult or uncomfortable if it melted. Sectonia wasn't going to try, with the combination of sand and now syrup looked like mud, and not clean mud you used to make yourself more beautiful. Thanks to her ability to fly and how it didn't exhaust her at all unlike Midna, Sectonia didn't have to worry about sinking in the sand unlike Midna's summons and the others who had to walk, these people having only a short route to walk on where they wouldn't sink.

And this would cause issues, as soon more enemies made themselves known, attacking their group. Many of these creatures emerged from the gooey sands that many of them couldn't travel in. Some small, and some very very large. First came some slugs that emerged from the sand and attacked the less mobile of their group, with others who weren't attacked joining in. Next came the airborn enemies, which Sectonia engaged with her swords, swatting down a few of them as the phantom theives helped deal with more. Still, even then these flying enemies didn't really pose much of a threat so far compared to the large creature that jumped out of the sand, knocking some on the path off of it.

Sectonia kept to the sky, helping keep them clean with the phantom thieves and their guns so that the people below could handle the rest below without much issue. Sectonia did offer some help below though when Poppi managed to temporarily freeze the large creature that was causing them the most issue, the size of the creature and the relative little fighting space available forcing their ground party members to move along further, picking up the pace in order to run away from it. Sectonia took the chance Poppi gave her to throw a large ring of light at the worm to damage it, taking a few hits from the airborn enemies she had to ignore to form and fire her ring. Still, she'd keep up with the party and provide support from the air, being one of the only ones who could actively deal with flying enemies.

Blazermate only caught the tail end of things as she had returned. Seeing as they were relaxing, people were socalizing and learning where each one got their powers from, Ms. Fortune apparently having told everyone that powers in her world came from stuff like "parasites" and "life gems". Blazermate, having been a late arrival, had been questioned this by both Frog and Link, with Frog going further sa to ask exactly what Blazermate was. "Oh uhm. I'm a Medabot, Blazermate Model." Blazermate said, putting her fist to her chest with pride. "As for my power... Its all about Medals and the Medaforce." She said, replying to Link's question. After answering, Link leaned in, asking Blazermate about what Link had done while under Galeem's control about the insta trophy arrows he had used during the fight. Blazermate replied to the leaning in link. "Beats me. A giant hand gave you those." She wasn't the best to ask about this perhaps, as she had no clue who this giant hand thing was at all. Of course her short answer to Frog only confused him more, and Blazermate had to explain what a robot was in general, then a medabot.

As it got dark, Bowser went off meet up with his kid, while Ms. Fortune decided to take a tour of the town at night. Shrugging, Blazermate decided to follow Ms. Fortune as she was the new person on the team and her method of fighting kinda worried Blazermate. Her scanners said there were no problems with her with all of the body horror going on with Ms. Fortune, but still, she knew organics shouldn't bleed that much. While Ms. Fortune had to do all sorts of acrobatics to move around the town, using the ropes and rooftops to move, Blazermate only needed to grab the occasional thing to propel her upwards with her jets. It took her a bit, but Blazermate caught up with Ms. Fortune as she was wandering near a spikey, sphere like building. "Heya, I'll explore the town with you. I've got nothing better to do, and Medabots don't need to sleep, so..." Blazermate said, tapping Ms. Fortune on the shoulder as she hovered behind her.

Sectonia wasn't expecting someone to actually take her up on the fact that she was only slightly interested in the sorcerous spirit, Premise coming up to the bee queen and requesting the spirit. Sectonia looked at the spirit for a second before handing it over to Premise, giving it a casual. "Pfeh, not colorful enough." as she handed it over, deciding to take the Pipe of Insight from the loot as everyone else had taken their spirits. The pipe itself was quite small and emitted a very subtle magical smoke. Sectonia wondered if she needed to hold this in her mouth, something she wasn't too keen on, but she found that its magic worked while just being carried by her, putting the pipe snugly in her fluff. With the pipe essentially attuned to her, Sectonia felt that she was far more resillient to magic and could heal faster, with her presence giving those around her and herself lesser benefits of this pipe. In addition to her testing, she found that if she channeled her own magic into the pipe, a magical bubble appeared around her and everyone who was in range of her queenly aura, shielding them from harm for a short time.

And seeing what Midna had become with her new fusion, going from someone who seemed to be all together to something.... strange, Sectonia was glad that she took the powerful looking magic item over the sorceror spirit which worked, fairly alright for Premise. Thinking about it, The first spirit Midna absorbed was also close to her basic shape, so the fusion was good. However the dragon spirit she had absorbed was very different, and granted its power at a price. Seeing this in action really limited her choices, and the queen decided that she'd only take a spirit that didn't mesh well with her if the power gain could outstrip the... well at least Midna got some dangling jewel things... The phantom troope didn't look much better with the fusions they had gotten, only exemplifying Sectonia's point she made to herself.

Another question was answered soon after, this time by Tora, who outlined what the strange box items were that Sectonia had found. Apparently there were some kind of cosmetic chest that used the paper currency she had found pointless before. "So its a key to a random assortment of cosmetic goods. Interesting." She said, looking at the items that were spawned from the lootboxes. None of them really caught her eye, but seeing how varied and different they were, she was sure one of these, should she find more, would give her something she liked.

With the remainder of the spirits dolled out, Midna experimenting with one of her wolfos and getting quite an interesting conclusion out of it, the unused spirits were crushed and spawned various items. Sectonia didn't know what most of them did, but seeing as one was a bit of a bug crystal, she decided to take that. She couldn't outright tell what it did, but it had some air of magic about it at least. With the rest of the loot sorted out, what wasn't used was put into the bag they had used to carry the spirits here and brought along, the group venturing down further into the ruins.

After some exploring in the ruins, the enemies not really offering much challenge and being used more to test what everyone had gained, the group found a bit of a sandy decline which the phantom theives decided they would slide on, including Tora and Poppi. Sectonia was much bigger than the rest of them though, and was one of the last ones to slide down, needing to tuck her wings in. Woe be to any that were below her and didn't get off the slide when she reached the bottom, her stinger wasn't for show! Upon reaching the bottom and having the space to fly again, Sectonia did just that, preferring to stay off the ground as much as possible. What they found themselves looking at was more ruins, however the heat wasn't nearly as bad as it was and the sandstorms had subsided as the sun was going down.

"Good, this wont be as exhausting as above." Sectonia said, agreeing with the others who voiced the same opinion. Seeing as it was much cooler here, the party decided to continue on foot. Still, they were going towards what they thought was the area guardian without much to go on, and they were getting farther and farther away from what Sectonia could call 'civilization' so they could only hope they were on the right path.

Blazermate, having her offer taken by the shipgirls and the entire situation disarming itself, decided to go with the shipgirl who was going to lead her to the infirmary. "So uh, for Payment. Just uh, pay for their food and whatnot. This will be quick. " Blazermate said, pointing to her party who was discussing stuff and making orders. Sephiroth had slinked off to somewhere, that boy didn't like staying with the party it seemed. He was turning into a real... Why couldn't Blazermate remember that anime loner's name? Either way, Blazermate didn't really think much of it, and as she waved to her friends, saying she'd be back later, she caught a glimpse of the Cadet touching some kind of orb. He seemed fine though, so Blazermate just let him at it, her scanners didn't pick up anything harmful after all.

It didn't take long for her shipgirl escort to bring Blazermate to the infirmary where there were multiple ship girls laying on beds, some bandaged, some still being worked on, all with all sorts of burns, breaks, bites, and other nasty physical injuries. "I'll be watching you, but if you can do what you said, please help them." Her escort said, standing at the door as Blazermate walked in. "Its ok. I've got this. No zombie plagues here!" Blazermate said, flexing one of her arms. Seeing as most of them seemed to have old injuries, her medigun was more effective than what she normally had to deal with.

At first, Blazermate was under harsh supervision as while she was a medic bot, these doctors had been treating these injuries for awhile now, and didn't trust this newcomer all that much. Their tunes quickly changed though when Blazermate put her healing beam on her first patient, the ship girl's bones snapping back into place and healing, her skin closing up, and her complextion that was one of pain becoming one of releif. It didn't take too long for her to be fully healed up, and while she was getting out of her bed, jumping for joy at being healed so rapidly to the astonishment of the doctors and other patients, Blazermate was already working on another girl who had a nasty large bite taken out of her.

As Blazermate healed more and more shipgirls, the other injured shipgirls were stirring, hope in their eyes as tehir injuries would be healed momentarily. After around the 5th shipgirl got up with no injuries remaining, the doctors stopped checking Blazermate's work and just let her have free reign of the place as it didn't take too long for her to heal up the rest of the shipgirls. At one point, a new patient came in, bleeding profusely and if Blazermate wasn't here, would've been dead before the bandages could go on. However, all the healing had charged Blazermate's ubercharge which she used on the quickly dying ship girl, completely stopping her from bleeding, her healing stabalizing and getting her mostly recovered as her ubercharge wore off. "What... what are you?" One of the shipgirls asked, surprised at what had happened. "Oh. I'm a Medabot. Names Blazermate." Another one pointed to Blazermate's healing arm and asked. "How does that work? It would be really useful for our soldiers!" Blazermate gave a reply, but by the look on the shipgirl's face, it wasn't what she wanted to hear. "Its my healing arm part. More focused healing than a Nutranurse! It just heals, I don't know how." she continued, leaving the ship girl doctor crestfallen.

It took her a bit of time, but eventually the infirmary was empty of the injured ship girls. "Alrighty! Thats all done. Can you lead me back to my friends now?" Blazermate said, making a gun blowing animation on her arm, making the sound but since she was a robot she couldn't make any breath come out. Her escourt, with a bit of regret at how useful Blazermate had been about getting ship girls back on the battlefield in record time, brought Blazermate back to the restaraunt. Having gone to heal the ship girls, Blazermate had missed all of Ms. Fortune's story, coming back in with Bowser asking for a to-go dish. "Hiya guys, I'm back!" Blazermate said, waving. Looking around, Blazermate noticed a few weired out faces, most notable on Peach, while Link had a much mor interested faec. "Did... I miss something?" Blazermate asked, walking in the shop to sit with the rest of the group.

The Oasis in the Sphinx

When the bathing pool started to get a bit overcrowded with more of the mercs joining, Sectonia decided to get out. While she was somewhat ok with a slight mixed bath, it was getting ridiculous now. At least she was able to get all of the sand off herself, her fluff taking the longest to clean. After getting out of the water and 'sitting' in the campsite itself, she began wringing her fluff dry as she was out of the water and combing it to perfection with her hands, something she was well versed in, although you could tell she wished she had a comb or something to make the job easier based on the expression on her face.

As she 'sat' there, or well, sitting as best as she could with her lack of legs, Sectonia listened to the phantom trope explain the different types of food they had as her Antilion continued to clean the cloths of those who left them with it. She wondered where their utensils were to eat with dignity, but seeing how Midna and the others started eating their foods, there apparently was none which made Sectonia's eyes twitch in the shear audacity of the situation. But as she had done before, she soon relented, and much like Midna, tried to eat what food she could with regal dignity. "I prefer fruits and vegetables over meats." Sectonia said, sighing at the lack of such things as everyone else enjoyed the meat. It wasn't that she couldn't eat them, just that unlike fruits, meat was messy and wasn't nearly as elegant to eat, especially without silverware. Still, she knew food wasn't easy to get in the desert, and there was little chance of getting her selected diet here, so she ate the meat although not with as much enjoyment as the others. She'd also make sure to get her fill of the drinking water, needing quite a bit more than the others due to her size.

After their dinner was done and everyone got their fill, the Antilions done with their cloths cleaning duty and handing the cleaned cloths back to the Queen and the others, the group started to discuss what to call the Galeem controlled people after one of the people asked how they could even recognize them. Sectonia told the now idle Antilion to clean the area, then patrol to keep the camp safe as ideas were tossed around. Tora's name was... well, considering Sectonia had gotten used to his speech patterns it was at least on par for what he usually said. Did the puff ball just not care about anything name wise? Thoughts for later as other ideas came out from Daybreaker to Daybroken. Both were far too long and took too long to say. Midna came up with the idea of Gleeming, mentioning her dislike of the sun in general as it apparently was barely a thing in her world. "The sun is fine, but I prefer the moon. Its far more beautiful, especially when its ethereal blue glow shines over your palace. It wasn't easy to make it a full moon 24/7 over my palace. Is that how your world is?" Sectonia said, asking Midna. "As for names. Gleeming is alright. There isn't honestly much that rolls off the tongue that isn't sun or day related like Sunstricken or Dawnfallen. And I'd rather not give that... thing... any credit with a good descriptor if I can help it." Sectonia said, unable to come up with a name that wasn't taken already, being a bit petty afterwords.

After the discussion of names, on came the distrobution of loot. The Medic and Midna taking spirits into themselves and Midna experimenting with her Wolfos, putting multiple spirits into it to change it into something else. Sectonia doubted that would work for her antilions though, as she had an endless amount of them and never summoned the same one twice, or at least, as well as she knew. Still, she decided to look through the stuff that was left behind. Much like Midna, she saw no use for the paper money, but her eats perked up at the mention of Midna's currency being gemstones. "Hm. My opinion of you grows as time goes on it seems. Another person of royalty who uses vastly superior and more beautiful gemstones as currency. Although mine are shaped like stars. I'd prefer flowers, but they only form into stars for some reason. I suppose the planet being called Popstar is to blame for that." Sectonia said, giving out another compliment to Midna.

With everyone sorting through the loot Tora found an item he liked called rocket boots, something Sectonia had no interest in, and decided to tinker with it. At a suggestion by Poppi, he then grabbed a spirit of a heavily armored knight and gave it to poppi, who absorbed the spirit and became a heavily armored version of herself with accompanying sword and shield. "I have a minion that looks like you Poppi. it is, frankly, kind of useless in an open field, but great in a narrow corridor." The Medic, having taken in the soul of one of the dragon creatures, gained the ability to levitate like Midna and the queen. Midna offered him hoverling lessons, which meant the queen didn't have to.

Looking through the spirits, there wasn't really anything Sectonia liked. She did mull over the Sorcerers spirit, but she got the feeling that it contained magic she wasn't an expert in, and absorbing its power would lead to her losing her regal look. after all, this sorcerers was drab and boring, apparently coming from a world where color was completely sapped from it. "Hm... I am not going to absorb this spirit, but I feel like it could be some useful equipment." She did accept Midna's proposal first though, and didn't crush this spirit immediately, waiting to see if anyone would be interested in it. She wasn't going to use her 'free spirit claim' on this thing, thats for sure!

She did however, find that she liked an item that was on the ground, the Pipe of Insight. She could feel strong magic coming from the item which interested her greatly. However, while this would be her 'claim' of the loot, being something she could just carry on her person instead of causing some mutation she would dislike in the case of the sorcerer's spirit, she also took an interest in the strange boxes that seemed to have no way of opening them. "Does anyone know what these are? I sense no magic from them, but they are also locked shut." Sectonia said, confused at the loot boxes.

"Aw. I didn't get to kritz someone!" Blazermate said, a bit disappointed at how quickly the battle ended. This Cia wasn't all that strong of a person if she was defeated this easily, stuff in the Dead Zone was way worse! Still, it looked like they weren't going to eat in this restaurant anytime soon with how trashed it was, ESPECIALLY due to the giant hole Bowser left in the ground in which Geralt fell into, the witcher being saved in a princess carry by Bowser which Blazermate couldn't help but giggle at. "Aw, thats so cute!" She said to the pair, smiling as well as she could without a mouth. Her mood quickly soured though as the owner of the restaraunt came out and complained about all the damage that had been done, followed by the guards outside finally deciding to rush in after things were done.

What was weird was these guards sort of looked like a weaker, more marine Poppi. Blazermate didn't know anything about what was going on, and as Geralt said his mind, having been here, Kamek gestured for everyone who wasn't here to listen to him as he explained everything and how, while these guards were being rather stupid, that they still needed them to get the guardian of this area. He asked for diplomatic tact, which Bowser took to mean to shift the blame onto Peach. "C'mon Bowser, if your going to shift all the blame onto your girlfriend, its no wonder why you haven't made it past 1st base~!" Blazermate said to tease the koopa king.

She then turned to the, frankly, taller ship girls and said. "But if you want payment, I can offer some healing services. They don't come cheap, but I can heal up any of your commrades that are injured and make what would take weeks or months of recovery take less than a few minutes." Blazermate offered, showing this by healing up the injured people of her party, snapping bones back into place and stitching skin shut in a few moments. Although she had been doing a good job of that before, so there wasn't that many injuries left. She was a bit sad that the anime boy wasn't doing anything, but they tended to only be interested in fighting anyway and got nervous around girls, so it made sense why he wouldn't want to talk to these ship girls.

Blazermate, being the resident healer, brought herself attention from Cia who unlike most of the enemies in the Dead Zone, had brains behind her and saw the medabot healing the wounds of those who she was trying to destroy a nuisance. With this in mind Cia sent one of her dark link shadows towards Blazermate intending to deal with the team healer. Blazermate, already in a defensive stance, raised her shield to deal with the incoming dark link clone, however it never reached her as both Kamek and the cadet took care of the clone before it could get anywhere near the heal bot.

"Oh, thanks guys! I'm still charging, but its almost there!" Blazermate said, keeping her defensive posture but healing those who needed it. Thanks to the efforts of her team, even though they were destroying the building, the colored clones were disappearing one after another, turning into spirits. Blazermate didn't really have much of a need or interest in these spirits. Still, Bowser's idea to hold them for later was a good idea.

Thanks to a combo of the unrelenting desert followed by the cooling, soothing bath Sectonia was partaking in, the queen was much more amiable than usual, and a bit more chatty. "If this is living like a king to you Heavy, then I don't know what to say. This is paltry compared to what I have in Floralia." Sectonia said, attempting to strike up some basic conversation. "At least, I did, until Galeem..." The Queen continued, clenching a fist. After a moment of this, she relaxed, a thought crossing her mind. "That's right, you and the doctor here don't know about Galeem after you were cured of its influence."

Leaning back a bit, her golden wings sinking into the water, Sectonia said. "I suppose it is best you know. Much like my kingdom of Floralia, whatever world you knew is lost, instead being mish mashed into whatever this Galeem wished to create. while bits and pieces of it may be there, it is there alongside items such as this 'sphinx', items, objects, and people utterly foreign to you." The queen started, getting into a bit of a monologue, sounding regal instead of her standard haughty. "Apparently according to this robed figure known as the 'Master of Masters', a pretentious title, in order to set things right, get our kingdoms back, and maybe a bit on the side, we have to destroy the guardians of Galeem in order to challenge the light ball in the sky." Sectonia continued. After saying this, she leaned forward, her golden wings dripping form the water they had just been dunked in.

"Personally, ruling a world made of all worlds sounds great to me, but to even get there we would have to defeat that ball of light, and considering it had the power to merge all of our worlds and brainwash millions or billions of strong people, we must gain strength ourselves." Sectonia said, knitting her hands together as she continued. "Like I said when we first met, there is great opportunity for those who take it here. Defeated foes can grant you their power if you take it into yourself, but be careful, while you will gain the powers and memories of those you absorb, you will also turn into an amalgamation of you and them, which can look quite hideous if your not careful of what spirits you decide to take in." It was a shame Sectonia didn't know what Bowser had become, nor Dante, who had almost become a different person altogether, but she did know of a certain robot who looked like a mish mash of parts slapped together. She WOULD have mentioned Midna, but her merge with Uriobosa went well and only made her more beautiful, although not nearly to the level of the Queen herself. "Our Princess of Twilight here is an example of a good merge, if I must say so."

After giving Midna a compliment, Sectonia continued. "You can of course crush a spirit to gain an item or weapon, those horns on my crown being an example of something like that." Sectonia said, pointing to the arcane obsidian crystal horns that she managed to merge to her crown, which was currently being cleaned by her blue antillon. "However, if you have the choice, it is best to make the stronger of the bunch, such as yourselves, allies. While some of those controlled by Galeem are hostile as you have seen, others are neutral at best, and as long as you don't attack them, you may gain strong allies, as you are well aware. Sectonia gave herself a bit of a stretch, having never actually explained this to anyone before, usually letting others do it for her. But as she had these mercenaries in her employ, it would do her well to show her knowledge. "Even then the hostile ones can be made to serve, although I have yet to find one of a strong enough position for me to even consider, as it is an... involved process. And even then it may be better to take their power as your own. I suppose that is a matter you will need to decide yourself."

While the Queen had said most about the spirit process, there were minute details she didn't know, as the explanation she had been given wasn't the best or fairly cryptic at points, but she got the most important parts down. With her little explanation done, she lounged in the water, finding it almost comical how many of them were in this pool of water while the Phantom Thieves were keeping the camp moving, her Antillions helping where they could.

Sectonia wasn't all that thrilled about bringing more people up this cliff side, although she had a feeling this wouldn't be the last time she'd be requested to help the vertically challenged of their little group. At least Poppi took the heaviest of the group, the Heavy, while Sectonia was left with transporting Midna and the Medic, the princess of twilight being relatively easy to carry as she had the power to hide in the queen's shadow. If she was feeling philosophical there could be something to gleem from that, but that wasn't where her mind was at the moment, still annoyed at carrying things. At least the hand of hers that carried the loot that the trio had collected eased her annoyance a bit. Most of the stuff, especially the green ornate paper didn't really interest her, but she also relented she didn't know everything and she was sure that even that had some use here. Midna had shown the same confusion and disdain, so her and the queen were on equal footing there.

When they reached the rest of the group, Sectonia put her charges down, holding onto the bag of loot with one hand and keeping it away from her body. "We can decide where this goes when we have time to rest. First we should get out of this sun." Sectonia said, the others wordlessly agreeing as they made their way deeper into the ruins, following the Phantom thieves who had scouted a path ahead. Apparently their goal was this 'sphinx', whatever that was. Again Sectonia and Midna were on the same path when it came to knowing things that the others took for granted, which was both comforting and unsettling at the same time.

As they went deeper into the ruins, the sand kicked up something feirce and while it didn't have the same magic draining effect it seemed to have on her compatriots, the magic draining effect, the sharp particles, and the great winds kept Sectonia down low tot he ground. Still unlike Midna, it didn't cancel out her hovering entirely. Still, the queen had to hold her empty hand up to her face to shield her eyes from the sandstorm they wandered through as the sand whipped her face. After traveling a little while through this, the sand died down a bit but still raged on above the party as they reached a pit full of platforms. The quick sand looked worse than the previous pit those snakes had come from, and while there was a set of platforms hovering above the pit that allowed people to cross, there were various enemies and obstacles that made jumping from platform to platform a bit tricky. Midna, worried about the bag of treasure, took it off Sectonia's hands and made her way after Tora.

Unlike Tora and Midna, Sectonia had no method of actually 'jumping' and just bypassed the platforms by flying around them and avoiding the shifting walls and crushing rocks when she could. This of course didn't come without its own risks and the projectile firing enemies from below and the invincible bladed things did land some hits on the queen due to her large size and not completely adhering to the route that the others had due to her lack of jumping abilities, leaving the queen covered in bits of sand, bruises, and a few sand caked cuts. Still, she kept her composure through all of that. While people wouldn't think it, she was quite tough for someone so obsessed with beauty. Even so, she didn't escape this little obstacle course without a scrape, but at least they had a medic along now to heal her up. At some point she'd have to explain to the man her anatomy, something she wasn't too entirely enthused about.

Soon after that annoying sand pit and more sand, the team reached the sphinx and upon descending into it, found a camp set up by the Phantom Theives, their... alternative clothing not looking nearly as good as their original clothing. Tora, Poppi and Midna, or rather her mount? Sectonia wasn't sure how much control she had over that wolf, darted for the prepared pool of water to wash themselves off. Heavy followed soon after, not even bothering to undress and doing a rather undignified cannonball that splashed water everywhere. At least he was living up to his name. While not charging it as those two did, Sectonia joined them with a bit more dignity, with her taking off her royal cape and crown and dipping into the water with her lower half, a bit away from Heavy, using her hands to wash that off and getting the sand out of her face before trying to dip lower to get all the sand out of her fluff. Unlike Midna, she wouldn't disrobe entirely, opting to leave her breastplate on for obvious reasons. When her fluff was sand free and she felt clean, she would soak with only her lower half in the water, watching the others having fun in the water. Seeing how sandy her cloths themselves were, Sectonia summoned one of her blue antillions and ordered it to clean their laundry much like before. She then summoned a green and a couple red Antilions to help around the camp as she relaxed in the water, the minions getting busy helping whatever they could. The blue antilions using their powers over frost, the red ones using their power over fire, and the green ones using their power over electricity where needed.

"Good job setting this up you lot. Although I prefer your other cloths, these... seem too plain." Sectonia said to the phantom thieves who weren't in their fighting outfits, relived that they were out of the sand. Much like Midna, it bothered her eyes something fierce, but unlike Midna, Sectonia didn't have one eye constantly covered by her 'crown'. Sectonia then gestured to the Medic to heal up her wounds she had just cleaned up before teasing the group with a rhetorical "Enjoying yourselves?", a slight laugh coming from the queen.

So, apparently the barrier that blocked the door didn't block any other way into the building, as was found out by Ms. Fortune who after finding a way in, joined in on the fight with her weird power to turn her limbs into bloody rockets. Looking at the way Nadia got in, Blazermate followed suit as Bowser found his own way in. Looking at the fight inside the building, there were a few more faces that Blazermate didn't see before, such as Hat Kid being beset by a, burn damaged blue woman? The woman looked like the one that was near Link, although with a lot more damage, blue, and well... If Blazermate wasn't a medabot they wouldn't like what was happening to the blue clone buuut she was so...

As Bowser and Geralt made their way towards the blue copy, Blazermate started to heal up her known teammates. Although they didn't look taht injured, even if what Ms. Fortune did would constitute something that would damage her, her health wasn't going down. Still though, she was sure spraying a looot of blood, like, how did she have so much? Still, with the injuries of the group not being that bad she could actually start overhealing people! She started with the ones of the group, such as hat kid, Sephiroth, and Kamek who had the lower overall health of the group, then moving up to Geralt and Bowser, the former concentrating on something and the latter tackling the blue woman.

"So... with all the magical explosions going off, I'm just going to hide behind my shield here and well, yeah." Blazermate said, holding up her shield to hide behind as she healed her allies, the overheal giving them some temporary health for them to take damage with before their actual health went down. This also let her charge up her uber fairly nicely, so soon she could do something with that.

With the little detour at the bar and the strange toga man behind them, the party made their way to the actual eating establishment that link was being held captive in, the Bismarck. Cuphead lead the way, knowing the area with Bowser lumbered his way there, the others following him with much less severe but still hurried steps, Ms. fortune returning to the party after doing her little thing. As they made their way to the establishment, Kamek and Geralt found the group, Kamek flying alongside the group for a bit on the broom he swooped down on. Bowser, seeing his adviser sort of caught him up on why they were here. "Yeah, what Bowser said. We found an anime swordsman too, but he went to go do something. He has a suuuper long sword." Blazermate said, also catching Kamek and Geralt up, having absolutely no exhaustion in her voice in comparison to Bowser due to him having to run and talk.

When they got to the building that Link was being held, the group found that there was a barrier blocking their way in, a barrier that Bowser tried and failed to break through. Ms. Fortune mentioned that she had seen these kind of things in the Dead Zone, although the closest thing Blazermate had seen was that locked police station. Either way, Kamek looked at it, suggesting a magical solution to get psat it. This is when the toga man from before, irritated at being ignored by Bowser, had chased them down to. But when he was going to berate Bowser, he saw the fight that was going inside. Excited by a brawl, he did the same thing bowser did, and tried to break down the barrier with physical force, with no avail. What he did next though...

Angry at the barrier for knocking him on his ass, the toga man sloshed the stuff in his wine cup everywhere. Why this would bring down a barrier Blazermate wasn't sure, but once the stuff in the flask hit, well, anyone... Blazermate wasn't sure how to describe the feeling. She felt hot, her head was hazy, and her limbs didn't listen to her half the time, causing her to constantly stumble around like the others around. "Ish... thish what itsh like to be drunk?" Blazermate said, stumbling around as Bacchus laughed at the chaos he had caused, although not in a mean way. Bowser, not having any of this guy's shenaigans, tried to take a fighting stance, at least before he stumbled on his belly while Ms fortune lost her head. Blazermate, unable to coordinate herself, tripped over Bowser's legs, rolling a bit before landing comedically on Peach who was just out of it. While Blazermate was dazed on top of Peach, her shield began to lick the ground, trying to get more of that golden wine. Apparently it was really happy about this sort of thing, making the drunk sounds Blazermate herself should've been making.
