MARISA, AURELIA and EPSILON

The motivational speech that Aurelia commands forth stirs even the fearful singers into a fighting force - from running away they form a perimeter to contain the Chimera rampage, while a few of the tougher and braver singers join in the brawl - in the end Epsilon, Aurelia, Marisa, the Bubble Mammoth, A busty Leprechaun woman with a flick-knife, the squirrel and the gold loving Dwarf square off against the creature.

The chimera is clearly not used to people confronting it, and seems somewhat confused, but it leaps into combat after it has time to size up its opponents. Epsilon opens fire with his armour piercing rounds, but the high magic levels in such a creature seem to have granted it supernatural toughness too - it would seem only a few of the bullets have managed to pierce its hide.

However the fine laser points that Marisa has summoned seem to be affecting it more - seemingly the magic of the beam causing more pain if not that much damage. The Bubble Mammoth is fighting defensively and blocking and fire blasts from getting too near anyone else, though the party note the hairline cracks starting to appear on the bubble slightly more with each blast.

It is however Aurelia and her Sunsword that get the first major strike - as the dwarf, leprechaun and squirrel manage to climb onto the side of the huge beast and begin attacking anything they can get their mitts on. The sunsword however comes in and with a might cleave severs the lion head of the great beast with the smell of toasted lion-meat. Traditionally this is done last, and it would seem that despite missing the largest of its three heads, it can still move, albeit not very cohesively, and a swing of the serpents head knocks Aurelia flying, blasting the angel backwards through a nearby apparent complex and out the other side. Fortunately it appears that the construction around here was done by Animecorp, and therefore it is more the impact on the ground on the farside rather than being batted through a number of concrete walls that stuns the Angel.

Meanwhile Epsilon has managed to open fire at close range on the snake head, and combined with a mushroom fueled magic blast from Marisa, there is a sound of a neck snapping. At this point the creature rears up and charged off, knocking through the perimeter past a Potato-salad elemental and a talking Ford Fiesta to freedom, dislodging the dwarf, squirrel and leprechaun as it goes. It would seem, freed from the influence of its predatory parts, it has reverted to a herbivorous state.

Meanwhile the unconcious Penguin provides an opportunity for looting, about its person it has:

A Chocolate coated Fish bar
A magnum revolver
A book of Metapenguin Philosophy
A worn bowie knife, made of an unusual steel
Some reflective American Cop Style Sunglasses

EUDIAL, CLEO and LELAND

It would seem the music does have an effect, albeit not a huge one, the Sucker stirs somewhat as if the music is giving him a little strength to fight the parasites, but the leaches begin to squirm and suck down harder. While the music could be part of a solution, it seems more is needed.

Cleo also notices that the fish before them somewhat resembles the Fish on the crate she chose back at the church.

PLAYZOOKI

Playzooki has the most intense and radical five mintues of his life. Through the course of a single power ballad, he finds himself going from beginner in axe fighting and floral cross stitch to a pro. He feels the power of the 80s surge through him like a torrent, and a handlebar moustache sprouts from his lip. By the time the song ends he feels ready to face any axe or cross stitch based challenge the world could throw at him.

"There you go, now you are ready for anything!" Hercules Atlas asks.

"Just to let you know, now you are infused with the power of the montage you may have to shave every day if you don't want that moustache. I will give you this complimentary handaxe/crossstich set to get you on your way! Also my personal mixtape of power ballads!

Would you like any more training, any more montages will cost you 75 credits, but there is a more advanced selection available if you want. If not, you should go forth into the world, choose a thing you think you want to do and go do it, whatever it is!"

TWITCH

It doesn't take long for Twitch to find the entrance to the ship, it is a fairly obvious door, currently open, and from the empty boxes outside it seems like they just finished installing some vending machines inside and hadn't bothered to lock up properly. As he enters inside he finds the matte white walls light up in a way that directs him to the bridge. When he arrives it appears as a perfectly smooth white room with no furniture, but even as he looks at it it begins to change shape, and before he knows it the whole thing just feels intuitive - he knows how to fly it, it just makes complete sense.

Within a minute, the great spaceship rises above the base, and is entirely under Twitches control.

PROFESSOR VENGEANCE

"Save all reality? Nooooo no, it is just a special little seed, and very rare you know. There aren't many Timesplitting Oaks left you know, they are hard to propagate - you have to let them phase into a certain kind of stone and then...*he goes into a long ramble about mineral supplements, temperature variables, acidity and which kinds of music this species prefers (smooth Jazz). All they can do is reboot things of time down different branches of time, nothing bigger than the tree itself"

On hearing the second section the Catalyst, currenly speaking the voice of the asian woman, speaks out "So what you are essentially saying is that Doomforall has roped you into something and you know absolutely nothing - I assume he's left you some instructions at least and from our previous encounters, some sort of bribe?"
