Sucrose gives Scarlet a vacant look.
"I don't know anything about deeseinfectants or anysthetics, but I can probably come up with something." she giggles, puffing out her cheek while the gemstone embedded in it glows brightly.
"These very special candies are made of light. Whatever cellular mass consumed the sugars for fuel, I get to tell it what to do for a while!"
"So if these deeseinfectants or anysthetics do something to organic biomass, then these can too, I bet." She offers a smile as she holds out the plain white candy, like a pearl or a jawbreaker, it shimmers softly."Of course, I'm pretty sure I could do more, if I had some actual sugars to study and mess with, but eh, what can you do?"
-
Sucruse gapes openly at Scarlet.
"Well now, you might be the most interesting organic lifeform I've ever seen! Just where did you come from, you lovely lovely biomass?" she says, walking around Scarlet and scrutinizing her.
"Oh how I'd love to know how you got metal of all things into your cellular makeup. Is it bacterial? Viral? Some sort of adaptation? Oooh, surely it couldn't be nanotechnology, even Gem technology doesn't show hallmarks like those little metal fellows infesting you!"
She realizes what Scarlet asked only after satisfying her curiosity."Stitching...? Oh! Oh, do you do some sort of organic repairs? How exciting, repairing organic lifeforms using 'stitching', it sounds so hilariously ineffective, and yet... Oh, I simply must see for myself how biomass reacts to being repaired in that way!"
She scratches her chin, before giggling.
"Alright, let's find you some materials!" she says, taking a moment to shapeshift as she cups her hands around her eyes like binoculars, with her eyes somehow poking out of the end after a brief flash of light.
-
Asgore offers a teary smile.
"In truth, I had only wished to see my wife and children once again. And yet, despite the impossibility of that wish, here it is, granted in full, beyond even what I had hoped.""How could I not grasp this chance with my own two hands, to right the wrongs of the past, and to do what I can to shape the future my children will inhabit?"
Asriel and Chara are peaking out from behind a doorframe, watching the exchange.
-
Around the same time, Frisk walks through the door, holding a large red Artifact. They look somewhat vindicated.
"I knew something was off about this timeline, and this cinches it," they say, holding up the magical artifact.
"I have no clue what this is, because I've literally never gotten my hands on it before. Never once. A small white dog normally shows up and steals it no matter what I try. Even using a hush puppy isn't normally enough to stop it."
"That said, I believe you all can put it to better use than I can," Frisk says, handing over the artifact to Lucine.
You obtained the Nav-G! This mysterious object can guide your ship to a new world.
"I guess all that's left to do now is to get ready to go back to the surface. Whenever you're all ready, I think we should go celebrate with some Karaoke. Does that sound fun?" -
Sucrose skips up and down the halls of the ship, giggling merrily. She hasn't been harvested, she gets to be on this ship of neat organic life, and she even got to study a huge specimen up close earlier!
This has been an utterly wonderful cycle so far!
It's a bit of a traitorous thought, but she was originally slated for harvesting because her prototypical line lacked practical application in a colony-setting. Perhaps if she can learn even more about organic life, she could convince the higher-ups that there's some untapped potential!
"Oh, I'm so excited I could just sing!" she mutters with glee, humming an aimless tune as she skips around while shapeshifting her innards in twisted internal experiments. -
Nader+Lucine
Toriel looks a bit startled. "Oh, I see."She walks away quickly into the other room, and Asgore comes out shortly afterwards. He looks tired, but happy.
"Yes? I was told I have visitors...?"
"Oh! Lucine, it is very good to see you. I am glad to see that you are well," he smiles, before turning to Nader.
"It seems you too, are well. In a sense, at least."
-
Arminius"Well, that's... interesting," Alphys says politely.
Merging Bombshell and Piglet together, the end result is a stronger, larger, far more socially clever Piglet! It seems bombshell didn't have nearly enough force-of-personality to avoid being subsumed entirely. -
"You're absolutely right. Gozer could not become a Toa. What you're seeing before you..."
The new Toa flexes, rippling heat radiating from them.
"Is someone entirely new!"
"So I should start calling you Flowzer then? Like Flame Gozer." Dackly says, tired but alive.
"...You should probably keep calling me Gozer." He retorts.
Dackly grins.
"Now then, let's put an end to this, for good!"
Dackly strikes a pose next to Gozer with Cap awkwardly third-wheeling!
"Hey Cell! I need you to hit me as hard as you can!" she shouts over to her ally.
Dackly Charges Laser Vision to use on Medusa, and sacrifices her Wave of Denial Buff!
Cap and Gozer use Caltrops on themselves, reducing their Init by 3 and stunning them!
When Dackly's health goes below 30, An ally goes into critical health, and an ally reaches full health, Checkmate will trigger!
SpoilerSpoilerPetrify: (Dackly, Gaze)
Dackly focuses on Feelings of Hatred and Fear, blasting a target with pure hatred, which feeds on the targets fear and slowly brings them closer to becoming petrified.
"Inflicts Int+1d6 Hatred Stacks.This is considered a status effect, whose effects (But not application of the stacks) can be resisted by specific defenses, such as Mirror Mail, True Heroic Resolve, and being made of stone.
When Hatred Stacks Exceed Remaining Health, the target is petrified, executing them. Enemies are considered Helpless in this state."
Stacks increased to Int+1d8
Stacks increased to Int+2d6
An additional effect is granted to this attack, based on a chosen ally, light source, or pertinent status effect.Toa Heartlight (Untyped)
The ancient mechanisms of the Toa Canister have transformed you into a creature of Bionicle! But without a source of elemental power, only some of its features have been unlocked.
Grants +2 damage reduction and +2 to a stat chosen when equipped.
Cannot be unequipped at this time.
Deals 5% of your MHP in nonlethal pure damage to you each round until you pass out.
Self-damage can be negated if you wear a Kanohi Mask of Power.Blue Art - Laser Vision: Dackly takes a turn to charge up in a very flashy and obvious way, and then fires FRIKKIN LASER BEAMS from her eye, dealing 1d6 + intelligence damage to up to 6 targets. 5 round cooldown. Dackly can sacrifice buff effects on herself while charging to increase the damage by 1d6 to each target per buff expended.

-
Gozer uses Royal Guard, and predicts that Everyone will be attacked by Medusa!
"I predicted you would predict that."
He looks towards the Toa stones, and to an onlooker, it might seem as though he's contemplating.
This is untrue, however. Just as he always has, Gozer has only followed his one singular path. The path of the Earth.
"Dackly!" he shouts.
"The attempt has failed! The attempt to craft a being of good from the remains of evil has failed, and now, that failure must be destroyed! It must be destroyed so that another attempt may be made!"
"For allowing you to turn down this path and to give hope for the future, this supreme failure must be annihilated in its entirety! To take another path, where the path of earth has failed, there can only be one recourse!"
Gozer leaps towards the Toa Stone of fire, allowing the energy to annihilate the Earth Elemental, and allow a new one to be born.
Spoiler4SpoilerRoyal Guard: (Gozer, Blue Art)
Gozer assumes a powerful stance, preparing to absorb incoming attacks.
Gozer predicts that a specific target will be attacked by a specific other target.
If he is correct, the attack is negated, and D&G gain a damage boost equal to the damage negated, which is added to their next attack.
This action takes place immediately before the attack being blocked does.-

The pool of shadows raises up, a long blade of pitch black emerging from it.
Red eyes flash from within before, with a sigh of wind, it collapses in on itself, parts of it dissolving to reveal a dark-cloaked figure laying on the ground.
Ignia obtains the final piece of the Red Orb. It seems to be a Nav-Gummi, indeed. Though to where is unknown.
HUNT UNLOCKED: "The Erased World"
-
As Lucine and Nader approach the house once again, they enter to discover Toriel worriedly fretting over the stove, cleaning up the mess left after the pie was prepared.
"Oh, greetings. If you are here for Asgore, I'm afraid he's in the other room, she points out."
"Our son had a poor reaction to all the excitement, so we're trying to help him rest," she explains, not recognizing either of the two.
-
Alphys laughs nervously. "Well, isn't t-that a terrifying thing to say."
Arminius finds that he can do much more than simply remove Bombshell from his contacts list with this phone. Much more indeed.

"..."
Cap uses Spray, scattering the stone caltrops all over the ground and lowering Medusa, Blue-Silver Rahkshi and Loyal Gozer's Initiative by 3 each!

Law wipes the sweat from his face. "Now that was some hard work."
"So, what's this about a lightsaber? Some kind of laser weapon?"

Alphys, it seems, vastly underestimated how much it would tingle, as she quickly goes to work scribbling even more runes onto Arminius's skin with a blend of lightning magic and cheap markers.
The end result is that the runic tattoos that he had been using all his life now have English annotations, commentary scribbled out, and what appear to be a vast number of additions, tweaks and modifications.
"There. I made an app on your phone to control the runework. As a human, you'll probably have much better success using tools like this rather than manipulating the magic directly."She hands over a smartphone to Arminius, which seems to have been magically tethered to his own arrays. The monstergirls bound to him are in his contacts, and there appear to be a number of other functions besides.
She shakes her head. "Monsters are MADE of magic, and I doubt we could manage runework like that by hand. I have no clue whose bright idea it was to give you those, but they did NOT make it easy for you... The way they're set up, they'd drain the life out of anyone you fought!"
-
Alphys gives the human a deeply disturbed look.
"We'll have to use one of mine then."
She cracks her knuckles and rummages around for a welder's mask.
As if noticing Arminius's reaction to this, she waves him off.
"The mask is for you, don't worry."
Her fingers crackle ominously with electricity as she uncaps a sharpie taken out of the pencil holder on her desk."Now hold still. This may tingle a bit."
-
Alphys looks at Arminius, then his runes, and then thinks back to Bombshell.
She waves towards her lab.
"Come on. I'm going to fix those stupid runes, and you're going to never create a living thing that awful again. Honestly, even Bratty and Catty were nice at least." she mutters, stalking up the volcanic trail back to the upper parts of Hotland.
Upon entering the lab, Alphys questions if Arminius has a cellphone.
-
Alphys backs up.
"W-well, I'm a l-lot more interested in the fact that you can do that at ALL. Moral q-q-quandries aside, it should be impossible!"
"W-w-well, impossible, in the sense of making a living m-monster from scratch, that is..."
-
As Arminius gathers the materials together, his tattoos ignite with brilliant white light, combining the meteorite, slime, lava, and cannon together into...
A rotund molten bimbo who, moments after being birthed, is already texting on a phone that looks suspiciously like the Star Cannon Arminius had been hoping it would assimilate.
Alphys looks shocked and confused at the new monster coming into being, but her surprise quickly turns into disgust when, upon approaching Arminius for an explanation, she waggles a finger back.
"Like, back off, fugly, that one's mine."
Despite the rude comment, they quickly return to tiptapping away at their phone, mass texting entries on their friends list, such as "Meteorhead1", "Meteorhead1999", and "Meteorhead2", whose name has hearts and glitter around it in the friends list.
Alphys just gives Arminius a confused look of vague disgust. "P-please tell me that isn't what you were TRYING to do."
-
Alphys pulls what appears to be an ordinary looking extension cord out of a box, plugging it into the wall socket.
"This will probably work," she says, stripping the end of the cord with some wirecutters to reveal the cabling, which sparks with yellow magic.
-
Alphys perks up at this.
"Yeah, I think there's a shovel somewhere around here." she roots around and grabs a shovel out of her tool cabinet.
"Do you need help?"
-
Alphys nods, not paying him her full attention as she scribbles down math.
"Uh huh. Don't plug stuff into the core, just use an outlet," she mutters, using lighting from her fingertips to weld together two metal bits on the table.
-
-Arminius
Arminius zchoops over there in record time, arriving to the sight of Alphys drawing up blueprints, a messy list scribbled onto some paper on the table next to her.
-
Before Ignia can attack, or anyone else can properly react, a second Guard Armor falls from the sky, smashing into the first one and scattering chunks of armor everywhere!
The pile of armor rattles in confusion and disarray on the ground, as if one were complaining to the other, asking why it were late.
With terrifying slowness, the two piles of armor rise up into the air...
DOUBLE-THEME OVERRIDE
SpoilerCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANG!!!
The armor pieces slam together, two legs, four arms, and a second pair of legs that slot just underneath the first set of arms!
Ignia can sense the darkness in the air as the amalgam of armor pieces begins summoning yet more Heartless to it, swirling portals of darkness ripping open to spit out even more of the bastards, each new Heartless wielding a nasty looking weapon, or even BEING a nasty looking weapon.
Spoiler
With a single squeeze from each of its hands, this giant armor suit kills the heartless that are wielding weapons, and grabs the ones that simply are weapons, until it is fully equipped.The two Guard Armor Heads spin around each other at incredible speeds, suffused in purple fire.
With a loud creak, both of their visors open like eyelids, each one revealing a single yellow eye.Undyne takes a step back. "And just what the hell is this thing?!"

She throws another spear towards the Guard Armor Leg, but it bounces off clumsily!
Doge uses another flaming spear attack, but the Orange Magic phases through the Guard Armor, which decides to move this turn!
Jun uses their CHOKE system to stun the Guard Armor, stunning the entire suit of armor!

"I said don't move!" Doggo shouts, releasing even more wild slashes. The blue magic crashes into all the Guard Armor parts, dealing 14 damage to each!
Guard Armor Right Leg creaks ominously!
Guard Armor Left Leg creaks ominously!
"NGAHHH! What the hell is this thing made of?!" she shouts, throwing another spear at the Guard Armor and trying to force it into Green Mode!
The Guard Armor is too stunned to catch the spear, and it clanks off awkwardly!
Lesser Dog yips in a stunned tone of voice!
Doge frowns, and, noticing Prodditor isn't getting much use out of Dark Mode, switches them to Orange Mode as well.
"...Walk it off."

"In all fairness, when your technology goes wrong, you may choose to blow it to pieces with a gun. When our technology goes wrong, it is much more difficult to eradicate it with a blaster."
Law taps the side of his head uncomfortably.
"There is a very good reason that all Eco in existence requires a copy of our genetic code to both create and control it, and that reason is that some Precursors believe that we shouldn't limit our entire race to the shape, behavior, and singular intelligence of a small fuzzy ancestral prey-species mammal that achieved spaceflight as it was several billion years ago."
"Some of them would prefer to be freakish biomechanical sociopathic mutants hellbent on destroying planets instead."
Law lets out a puff of air.
"There are some advantages to having something other than you undergo the heavy thinking, modification and upgrading, I will admit."
-
"As a species, the mind of a Precursor is built from the ground up to multitask, in spite of our only slightly-above-average intelligence. Assuming I had the proper training, which I admittedly do not, I could simply do the calculations, not one after another, but all at the same time."
"It would take me 25 minutes to plot a course from one planet to another, if it were as difficult as you claim. It would also take me 25 minutes to plot a hundred courses between a hundred planets while watching television and eating my lunch."
Law thinks for a moment.
"I think my people did make Artificial Intelligence at one point or another, but we quckly figured out that it made more sense to simply have a Precursor or two do all of it while they worked on something else. Our technology is designed to help us perform that input more quickly. I mean, even if we could solve all those problems at once, it would take hours to simply type it or speak it..."
Considering the best way to prove his point, Law waves his scanstave, and summons up a tablet made of thin metal using the Ender Forge.
"My multiplication tables, to a hundred-thousand. They weren't in the printer's list of prefabs."

Toriel rapidly returns with a set of clothing.
"I'm afraid we don't have much, but perhaps these might fit you?" She says, offering a green-and-yellow striped shirt and pants.
