Sectonia's attempts at flinging spells were keeping the resistance in a panic as they tried to dodge what they could with only Shadow really being able to function well with all the large rings of light flying about and the blobs of shadow that pierced any defense they ran into. Cellia, having been freed by Midna's friend heart, did limit Sectonia's options of using lightning a bit as while the bolts wouldn't hurt, she wasn't actually sure if she could use said lightning in the water and have her minions be safe from it.

Still that was the only downside the water posed, with the rest of it being upsides as Sectonia could fly over the water and turn it to be an advantage for her side even with how chaotic it all seemed by summoning her ice antillions. These minions got to work right away shooting their icy winds at whatever resistance member was nearby, freezing the water in the process as well. While her antillions were doing that, Sectonia kept up with her barrage of light rings and void globules, focusing more on Shadow as he seemed to be the biggest threat now. Although due to their chaotic nature, some found themselves still going towards the other resistance members.

And once Shadow approached her, the Queen did have a single use of her lightning she could use without issue, having her pipe of insight ready to give everyone a magic shield before zapping the hedgehog if he tried to get close. Said barrier would protect her allies from lightning conducting through the water for a strike, or at least that was her plan. And if he didn't, well, Sectonia was just going to keep up her barrage of attacks. Either the massive light rings or defense piercing void globules would hit and cause quite a bit of damage.

Blazermate didn't need much prompting from the others once Ace got into her sensor range, not looking good for wear. Thankfully the baddies thought he was also down for the count when he collapsed under the rubble he pulled himself out of, being distracted by Mirage's mirage... Oh now his name made sense! Either way, Blazermate, being told off by Kamek saying her offer wouldn't do much, moved over to Ace and scooped him up in her arms, having her healing beam on him until he was good enough to start jumping around. "OK so, while the fish guy is distracted, we should jump around him and meet everyone on the elevator." Blazermate said, offering to use her jets as a jump booster for Ace so the two of them could get to the elevator and out of this area.

After all, she wasn't really into having a tussle with this large depressed fish guy. He did manage to crush Duage, who was a walking metal suit in one blow. But others seemed to be into that idea so all Blazermate could do was sigh and heal who needed it. Although, she was the strongest person there physically potentially, and Moreau did look like he was quite fragile...

Thanks to her efforts the creature that was terrorizing her kids was, well, not no more, but certainly not a threat now. Bowser, not being a part of the fight but seeing the injured Peach. Well, maybe not 'see' but 'feel' would be a better explanation as he didn't see Blazermate healing her and reviving her to her feet. Mirage and a few of the others were having real issues with their hunger now, and the big fish guy below, showing his grotesque pale body, complaining to Kamek, and spitting the occasional bit of acid wasn't helping things much either. Blazermate wondered if her healing beam could stave off their hunger while it was connected? Thoughts for later, as they all still had to make for the escape.

"Kamek, If that guy becomes our friend, tell him I can heal his pain away." Blazermate said, offering some extra incentive for Kamek to use to bargen with Moreau. Even if it just stayed his hand, it'd help everyone escape and Blazermate could heal him from safety and escape soon after if need be, if her healing beam didn't work.

There wasn't much to say once everyone had figured out the panel thing, deciding they could just jump over them which Sectonia found hilarious. It had just crossed her mind that her and Midna could've carried their allies over, but they found their way in time and the girls chat was quite nice so overall it worked well. At one point as they made their way through the facility, Midna found all the items that the resistance had stolen, taking them for herself. None of them looked useful for the Queen, but some of those items might be useful for a few of her minions. Eventually they descended into the earth, finding a strange arena hovering over a large empty pit.

While others had their own reservations about making their way to the arena, Sectonia had no issues and didn't have to take any of those launch pads that looked fairly dangerous. Once inside the arena of choice though, they faced the entire resistance with their 'leader', a blue square looking lady with a strange speech pattern. Still funny enough it wasn't the resistance who attacked first, but Mao and a few other allies. Although the resistance members didn't waste any time dispersing, attacking, and getting cover with their 'leader' having been charged trying to escape using Shadow after he attacked with his energy spears. However their ally in Ciella kept them from teleporting away, the barrier made by her being so strong that even with both Sectonia and Shadow hitting it, it wouldn't budge. This did give Sectonia an idea though.

Opening up her cape wings in dramatic fashion, she gave a cackling laugh. "Well its time I tried my new little toy!" she said, granting herself haste before throwing a void globule at the group of resistance which split into 3 with very different flight patterns before moving to conjure and throw a 'barrage' of 4 large light rings, which split into 3 copies of themselves with more random flight patterns for a total of 12 rings flying around. And much like she showed Midna, her spells did nothing to her allies, passing through them without any issue, but still causing damage to the environment and the resistance as they passed by. A smallish arena with no escape combined with her now chaotic, large and damaging spells added to the chaos of the fight, probably a bit too much chaos, but only for the enemy side.

Blazermate was calling out where Moreau was as Jr. and Mirage did their thing. And they were successful! They managed to drain the water that blocked their path forward, and Moreau didn't take that well. Due to the damage they had been doing to the room to fight and distract Moreau, Blazermate used her ability to fly and easily carry others to escort those who needed aid to the command center where others were gathering, it also had people in trouble with something that Blazermate could help them with!

Moreau didn't take the fact that people were managing to escape well, and decided to chase down those that he could, even getting out of the water to do so! Link being his primary target, but everyone nearby being in danger. Link seemed to be able to keep away from him though, even with his small body and hunger issues. Peach had been injured and others were fending off some kind of monster thing in the Command Center, so Blazermate had to make that her first choice before doing anything to help Link out.

Grabbing a larger sheet of scrap, Blazermate held onto it like it was a shield and made her way to help deal with the creature that rika and Mirage were having to deal with that was advancing on those that hung over there. Using a chain to help control her flight, Blazermate spun around on it to gain momentum, the centrifical force multiplying her flight speed when she eventually let go and barreled towards the creature that Rika was shooting with her cannons. Shield held out in front, Blazermate tried her best to slam into that thing with her makeshift shield. Sadly she wasn't the heaviest medabot, but even so, she was sure she could help knock over some humanoid creature. She lost said shield in the process as she refused to keep a hold of it upon impact, using it to jump away and counteract her own impact force so she didn't tumble with the creature.

Should the creature fall off, she'd start to stabalize and heal up Peach, since it and her flight were really the only functions she could do right now. The water was drained and link was distracting the thing she was watching.

Since the items Shadow used weren't powered by magic, but by technology, they eventually ran out much to the hedgehog's annoyance and Sectonia's joy. Her Antillion absorbed a fair amount of the magazine of the LMG, but Sectonia abosrbed the other part and it didn't tickle. Necronomicon's marking was more useful than Sectonia could even hope for, as she even predicted where Shadow would be, meaning Sectonia's spells which the hedgehog was lazily dodging hit, annoying him greatly. It also let her remaining green antillions to fire off their lightning blasts themselves, adding to the chaos that Shadow had to dodge.

Chaos being a word that Shadow was familiar with, dropping his drained gun and deciding to use his own power for once, his frustration and pain after getting hit by one of Sectonia's light rings. Seeing Shadow starting to cast 'magic', Sectonia used her pipe of insight to absorb some of the chaos spears, casting Haste on herself, and engaging Shadow in a flurry of body slams on his end, sword swipes on her end, teleports on both sides, and the occasional Void Globule when Shadow decided to use his martial arts skills on the Queen which Shadow dodged without too much trouble.

After all the clashing, Sectonia being hurt as well as Shadow looking about the same, the hedgehog had enough and using his power to stop time again, but putting far more effort into it to conjure up a barrage of chaos spears that would hit Sectonia when the stasis of chaos control ended. Necronomicon, being a support champ though, gave Sectonia invincibility at the moment those spears would've hit and leaving Shadow utterly confused as this was clearly one of his bigger attacks. Seeing as Sectonia was in the midst of combat and not appreciating being frozen in time again, threw one of her Void Globules at Shadow before teleporting around and behind him to conjure a Ring of Light around her lower half on top of the hedgehog. A combination of both light and void would hurt quite a bit coming at both sides.

"You are quite strong, you'll make an excellent minion." Sectonia said to the exhausted Shadow as she attacked him.

This hedgehog was quite an annoying foe. Sectonia wasn't used to having to have a teleport fight, and the occasional metal shots he fired were quite annoying, stinging quite bad. Still all they really did was sting, and that was when they hit. But with the buffs provided by Necronomicon and all, she was gaining the upper hand on this 'edgelord'. Seeing this and needing ammo himself, Shadow threw a garbage can at Sectonia, which while she dodged without much issue, exploded leaving a cloud of garbage, smoke, and stink. "Ugh, how dare..." Sectonia mumbled as Shadow used this cover to acquire a new weapon from his 'allies', although Sectonia wouldn't know that this would've doomed one of them in the long run.

Using the garbage as cover, Shadow unleashed his new weapon, a LMG which did far more damage than his pitiful pistols did. This caught the Queen by surprise. So much so that she had to do something to stop the barrage coming at different angles thanks to Shadow's speed. Seeing as Necronomicon was making sure to stay behind Sectonia in fear of getting shot, her remarks of being fragile showing themselves, Sectonia only really had a few methods available to her in this position.

She summoned a few Green Antilions, grabbing one and using it as a shield with one hand to absorb the bulletfire, while the other three dropped down to where Shadow was firing, being the only long ranged attackers of her summonable minions. Her conjured meatshield didn't last too long under the barrage of gunfire, but Necronomicon soon began to ping Shadow's location to Sectonia through the cloud, giving her and her minions a target. "Good Work." Sectonia said, her Green Antillion disappearing in a puff of smoke as it had absorbed all the damage it could as Sectonia conjured and fired a few large Rings of Light at where Necronomicon was pinging, the magical rings being quite large and quite the surprise for the hedgehog when they came out of the smoke. Still, this cretin and his constant gunfire was quite annoying, and painful.

Well, this monster wasn't the best at tactics, or really much of anything but thrashing around. And that really hurt him when he fell into the trap Link, Geralt, and everyone was setting up using the hanging staircase. Blazermate could help those trapped due to the missing part of the walkways with her limited flight and gliding capabilities, but all she could do now was call out Moreau's movements and how much damage he had taken. Something that would be super helpful, considering Bowser's new plan of trying to fish the monster fish up using his own keepsakes. That thing Bowser had gotten of the jar looking even worse than the mutant fish below them. "Be careful everyone. That blow did really hurt him, but hes still coming." Blazermate called out, keeping track and calling out where Moreau was when he was going to rear up to do something. Thankfully no one besides the monster was damaged from these shenanigans, and some were even making use of the abundant scrap around to do some shenanigans of their own.

Still, Link was the one putting himself in the most danger, and while he was agile so far, Blazermate was ready to help him if she needed to. She could still lift off, but couldn't keep flight going for too long thanks to her injury. She'd need the Engineer to repair that later.

So not only Sectonia, but one of those resistance members could control time, as well as teleport! And how impurtinant, kicking the Queen after teleporting her and Necronomicon above the fight, this black... thing confident in its ability to take out the Queen of Floralia and this Persona alone with two frankly small guns. "I concur." Sectonia said to Necronomicon's declaration for a quick and speedy end to this creature. In fact, his powers to teleport others and his even greater mastery of time seemed like it'd be very useful, although his attitude didn't leave much to the imagination.

Her cape wings open in a grandious showing, Sectonia was ready to face off against Shadow. With Necronomicon to her back and Shadow to her front, she began by casting her Slow spell on the hedgehog, not only to reduce his speed but reduce the speed of the bullets coming from his guns. Of course the hedgehog was faster than the Queen, getting off a few shots on her. What the hedgehog probably didn't expect though was just how tough this bee was. Although once he was slowed, Sectonia began to attack with a flurry of sword strikes and stabs. The hedgehog emptied the rest of his akimbo clips into the approaching Queen, but the slower projectiles greatly reduced their power, and the Queen was quick enough to parry some of them with her swords.

She made sure to keep up with Shadow when he used his teleports with her own to do a strange dance of sorts. Shadow was no coward, and unlike others who would face her might, always tried to go on the offensive. This did score him a hit or two at the start of the dance, but once Sectonia was used to how he fought, she kept the teleport strike dance going for a good while until she decided to swap one of her swords out for one of her staffs, and began to add lightning strikes to their little choreographed fight in the air here.

So, this little 'copy' of mirage was just that, a copy. But a copy that wasn't aware it was a copy which was weird. Maybe because Mirage wasn't aware he'd be copying himself when he got in that chair? Either way, he hadn't attacked yet and was still being fairly amicable like the real mirage, even if he was galeem'd. With a bit of effort, the group was able to get the submarine in the water, Jr. being the one to helm it. Well, Blazermate wasn't going to go down there if she could help it, but maybe there were other ways she could help. "Is there anyway I could tell Jr. when that monster is getting close to him? I can still see him down there... changing..." Blazermate asked the group.

The suit of Mirage was getting a bit tired of the antics going on, asking everyone to be serious for a moment. "Well Big Boy Mirage, we need help with getting into the next room and hopefully fully out of here. I'm sure you know that right? Well..." Blazermate started as her sensors told her that the sea creature was on the move now, having fully transformed into a grotesque creature. "Everyone look out!" Blazermate said, but it wasn't needed as even with a swimming start the creature couldn't reach them all up on the catwalks, even with how much he shook the area.

"Well, thats good... Yeah we need help with THAT thing. Serious enough for ya?" Blazermate said, with even her robotic disposition finding the creature disgusting. "We just need to get where Peach said and work that panel. With your illusions, it should be a snap right?" Blazermate said, unaware that Suit Mirage couldn't use illusions. She wasn't sure how Mirage did it, maybe it was one of those spell things that Kamek used? "I'll keep an eye on this guy as you guys try to get that panel!" Blazermate said, making her way to and hovering over the catwalks and focusing her attention on tracking that disgusting monster.

Many of the thieves took up Sectonia's offer to use her treasure helmet to get new gear from the crushed spirits. While some were apprehensive or even disliked the pain it caused them when they wore it, their amazement at the items they acquired overshadowed that. "Hm... Considering the quality and usefulness of the items you acquired, even I am tempted to use that thing for a mere moment even knowing how ugly it looked. That is incredibly useful." Sectonia said as she observed thief after thief getting new weapons they immediately put on to use for their upcoming fight. "A shame I can't wear it due to its size. But that is what minions are for!" Sectonia said, laughing lightly. Although seeing how this worked, only those who fought similar to herself would give her anything useful.

After the last person crushed their spirit and got their equipment, Sectonia took back the offered Symbol of Avarice. "Good work all of you! Enjoy your new equipment." Sectonia said, delighted at the results of the test of this magical item. Her regen aura slowly healed up the thieves who took damage from wearing the hat, so there wasn't any real lingering penalty for using it, at least not now, although the upcoming battle would probably leave a few wounds.

"I believe now that we have seen the power of this item, only my minions shall get use of it." The queen said, dismissing the item in a puff of smoke, putting it where her staves and swords went. "Sadly none of you fight like I do, but should you find spirits you wish to gain items from, just see me and I'll let you use this magical item again. As long as you're a loyal minion of course." The Queen concluded, stating the rules of how she would let people use the Symbol of Avarice. She wasn't a charity, and would be getting something out of this arrangement as well. But as long as people became her minions, she would promise them the power and rare items she always promised to new minions.

The newcomer, Mao, gave his own complaints about ruling, apparently he ruled a world as well. More royalty, but Seconia knew about vassilization, so she didn't keep the chance of him being a minion off the table. Although she figured it would be very doubtful, like that large koopa there. "The key to any successful kingdom is a proper hierarchy. Its easier to let others do the busywork as you make the large decisions. Just keep them under scrutiny if they aren't fully loyal." Sectonia's comment having a bit of a double sided edge to it.

----------------------------------------------------------

Eventually they made their way to the building in question, where more resistance members were saying. And they were not only waiting for the group, but were heavily armed pinning the group down almost instantly with gunfire, explosives, and water. Sectonia was one of the later ones to arrive to the fight, being a bit bigger and having a bit of trouble finding an entrance, needing to make her own after a bit of exploring. However, as she entered the room and fired off a globule of void at the enemies defensive wall, a tough shield weilder, one of the resistance members spoke some words and yelled, causing many things to fly about with the insane force and blowing the Queen back out of the hole she had just made, knocking her back a fair distance before she recovered.

"Well then..." she said with annoyance, only gaining slight injuries from scraping the wall on her way as the shout only seemed to push her back. She flew back to the hole she made, and cast her Slowing effect on the side of the room where the Resistance was set up, before summoning 3 fire antillions to advance on their position before finding some cover herself, staying out of the water. Her ice ones were still busy finding the lost mercs, and there was no way she was going to use the green ones with all the water about, unless her minions were out of the water themselves. This also meant she couldn't use her lightning which was one of her primary magical attacks she liked to use. At least her Rings of Light were still available to her, and considering the lineup of the resistance members, she had a feeling a few of them would be dangerous if she got up close.

Blazermate was a bit too concerned with keeping an eye on the monster guy swimming underwater that she did miss a little bit of the shenanigans going around her, but not so much as to be oblivious. While still keeping an eye out for the aquatic monster man, who had seemed to be just sitting there, watching everyone, Blazermate noticed that Sakura had fallen. Getting closer, she found that Sakura was depressed, with a few people trying to cheer her up. Blazermate made note of that, hoping the others would help her out of her little funk, as she had a bit of a bigger issue with Mirage and the Koopa troop.

Mirage with the help of the ones that weren't comforting Sakura managed to get that thing that Sakura had healed with her friend heart, which on second examination apparently was the cause of her depression. However while Mirage could pilot that thing from the chair he was sitting in, it also had a side effect of making a large diving suit ALSO talk like Mirage. As Blazermate glided over, making sure to check that their aquatic monster buddy was still chill, she caught wind of the conversation. Apparently this was an exact clone of Mirage, although in robot form. While Blazermate didn't fully get it, as their was two Mirage, she did understand that somehow he got copied into that robot.

"So... Glad the chair worked Mirage. Although it made a clone of yourself in a diving suit." Blazermate said, landing and approaching the group, periodically turning her head to keep track of the soon-to-be monster should Bowser be right. "So... New Mirage in the diving suit. Wanna help us with the whole diving thing?" Blazermate said, trying to diffuse the tension as both Mirages were getting irritated with each of them copying each other. "Shame... I doubt that chair can copy Medabots. Imagine a ton of me running around! Not like that isn't uncommon where I come from. I AM a mass produced product after all..." Blazermate said.

Sectonia took a little bit longer to heal up fully from the clerical healing service than the others did due to her size and overall health compared to the other, scrappier members of the group. Still this gave her a bit of time to observe and think about what was going on around her. Even when not under the effects of Galeem, some of these resistance members were... interesting to say the least. One that seemed to be super innocent, others that didn't. It was surprising at just how galeem both changed, and didn't change people. IN fact, it seemed that this lightball corrupted the more innocent into fighting rather than anything else, which made expanding territory particularly bothersome.

Either way, once she was fully healed up, she made her way to the area that Midna had gone off, hitching a ride in someone's shadow again. She was able to catch up to the small group as they hadn't made it that far. While Sectonia didn't hear the start of their conversation, she did hear Midna talking about Band and how he was still Galeem'd. Sectonia could only reply with. "This one's former allies ruined a prime opportunity to fix that with their bomb." looking at Mao. The kid looked like Joker and the others of their group. And seeing he seemed to look so young compared to herself and Midna, Sectonia wasn't expecting much from him. But a minion was a minion after all.

"And if you ever needed another reason to hate that ball of light, Royalty is forced to do stuff like 'this'." Sectonia said, spitting out the last word and showing how much she disliked being told what to do from others she felt were beneath her. "Making a Queen such as myself, or a princess such as her do bounty work..." Sectonia said, pointing a thumb at Midna as she grumbled, a bit more to herself, but loud enough to be heard. Still, it wasn't all bad. There were magic items here that made them stronger than they ever could be from their own worlds alone, so Sectonia went along with things, even if she disliked it.

After a bit more of talking from the group Primrose brought up that they had a few spirits they could make use of. This reminded Sectonia of an item she had gotten earlier, which she brought out. "If someone is looking to crush those for items, I would recommend you wear this. Its quite ugly and doesn't fit me, but even I have to recognize how potent this helmet is. It will make whatever we get from those spirits 'better'." Sectonia offered whoever wanted to crush these spirits the opportunity to use an item she had gotten in the previous bounty assignment she had been a part of, which would sap their health slowly but make whatever they got from crushing spirits much higher quality.

"Of course whatever we get should be given to who could use them the most afterwords." Sectonia pointed out, making it clear she would dictate where the loot goes if it would go somewhere that didn't make sense or if something could be used by any of her other minions. She eyed Mao more than the others at this point, as he was the newcomer.
