With how all the attacks heading straight for him had left one thought on his mind ; their constant denials. That alone was the problem and like hell he'd just have them return. It just wouldn't happen.
Though, he'd catch wind of Corrupt going for the portal and within that moment, the titan quickly crouches down before ascending into the air with a mighty leap, causing both Revak and Lillith's attack to fail, save for a faint trail of ink that coated the cuff of his pants.
Once his sights zeroed in on that specific omega, he would then dart his left hand out and snatch their head, slamming them face down into the ground. In turn would also mush Happy underneath Corrupt. Not long after that, Johnny lifts and tosses them away, one was Happy quickly finding themselves atop a certain demoness' head while the other would collide with Paul, which thankfully, had managed to be caught.
Though, Hollow's words and reasoning alone would catch the attention of the titan and soon after, shot his leering gaze towards the ex-king.
"And you think them being stuck there to never see the light of day is any better?! I would protect you all if you had all not chosen to go against what I find is the best for you because clearly, I have to enforce something here! Hell, I call it tough love because apparently you're all giving me reasons to do this!"
Despite his argument, the depiction of the soul flickering would begin to speed it's course of blinking and staying in focus. Seems something was in the works that had managed to strike another chord.
"The more you continue to struggle, the more I'M going to retaliate with your pathetic nonsense!"
Avarice | @thesmilingtragedy
A sigh. Avarice had blanketed himself in torn vines, laying on his side.
M e h... what's the POINT? If we keep FIGHTING, so will h e... Meh... why BOTHER keeping the portal O P E N? Maybe I should just CLOSE it and w a i t... Meh...
Corrupt | @corruptedflora
[Corrupt has Expected to be Caught in Some Way, but Not have His Screen Slammed Right into the Ground Along with Happy. His Face Become Nothing but a Haze of Static from the Unexpected Hit. Luckily it hadn't been Smashed to Bits, but a Crack had been Made from the Impact.
He Hardly even Noticed Paul Managed to Catch Him. He Held onto the Sides of His Head Till His Face Returned from the Static, Gritting His Teeth.]
[He Mumbled a Curse and Insult Directed to Himself Quickly, Looking to Make Sure Happy wasn't Dead from being Sandwiched Between Him and the Ground. After Spotting the Flower Atop Sela's Head, He'd Sigh a little in Relief Yet Still Distressed. Still Gathering His Senses, Corrupt Slowly and Gently Patted Paul's Cap Silently Before Speaking up a Moment Later.] *...Uh... Thanks, Bud... Sorry.
Paul | Flourishingbatter
Promply letting out an audible OOF!!, The mushroom stumbles back upon the impact before righting his stance. Blinking, he is...Quite surprised by how he had managed to catch them and quickly placed them down while hearing their apology.
"H-Hey it's no worries! Don't needa apologize for that."
After his response, he darts his gaze over to Sela, mostly trying to check if that other flower was alright. Swiveling his direction back to Johnny, a most determined look set on his face glaring towards the titan.
He was ridiculous but he needed to remind himself that Johnny needed help, with a physical approach if it needed something like that.
"Johnny! Would you stop and listen to yourself?! I don't care if I'm gonna be a broken record but friends don't hurt friends! What happened to the buddy I knew!?"
Revak | @blazing--soul
[Revak growled, witnessing Johnny escape his attack, and he would shoot off in pursuit, hands alight in flame, landing only to witness his seal over the portal and his words to Hollow. This didn't even encompass how much his treatment of Corrupt and Happy horrified and enraged him.]
[Fists balled, the titan's shifting of the blame to everyone else was the final straw. He wanted to retaliate with violence? Well... Revak would give him something to retaliate to.]
* BULLSHIT!!! I've been looking for a way to break the barrier in my timeline since I got to that godforsaken timeline I'm in!! [He'd launch himself into the air, propelling himself overtop their captor with a burst of flame and a single frontflip.] * I've seen timelines where it's been done!! And I REFUSE to listen to that utter SHIT streaming out of that throat of yours!
[Upon reaching his front, he'd thrust his palms forward, propelling him backwards towards Johnny, a boot aimed directly for that flickering screen of his.]
Sela | @the-junk-sela
Sela had braced herself for what was to come, having him jump so close to her caused her to stagger after she readjusted her position.
Feeling something else hit her head, though, she glanced up to see the flower atop her head.
An exception would be made for Happy in this situation. It's not like he wanted to be flung and almost stabbed on her horns.
Straightening up, her fist clenched. But her attention was momentarily drawn to Avarice. "Avarice, you close that portal and you'll be giving him exactly what he wants. And I wouldn't ever forgive you for that!" She turns to Johnny, voice raising.
"You're going to fucking KILL us without batting a fucking glitchy eye. If anything is the real threat to our lives, it's you! YOU'VE done this to yourself!! I'm done with this. You're not any friend I want, you alpha male fuckhead."
Vainglory | @puppet-time
Vainglory let out a frustrated growl, his tone clearly disgruntled. The inkling was under the impression that he had failed, however he noticed a decent amount of ink had found its way onto the titan's leg.
The ink flower's twisted into a collection of devious smiles and with both willpower and natural abilities, the traces of ink on Alpha's leg because to shift. Three ink tendrils squeezed their way out from the ink, and proceeded to wrap and twist around the titan's leg like an infection.
His plan to temporarily immobilize the titan was clear to other observers. The only gamble was pulling it off.
Lilith | @ribbcn-bxnes
[* ..Was it just her? Or was her aim just COMPLETELY off??? Hell she was a better marksman than this! Probably just still needed to adjust to her current size or something. Either way, seemed like their words were just donking off his damned screen or some shit. As they've been this entire encounter... Honestly, why were they even still trying? Lilith already came to her conclusion to stop retaliating with words and to fight back with action. If it meant this was the only way SOMETHING was meant to get through to him You fight for a cause, right?]
[* Steam hissed from her jaws and she began to maneuver off to the side in a trot. She could see Revak making his attack, but figured that alone would end up with him being grabbed again. As of right now, they couldn't chance being grabbed only to be sent flying. Corrupt and Happy were only.. slightly lucky.]
[* A few long strides to step over anyone below before Lilith would lunge forward in half ramming speed. Enough to perhaps bump Johnny right into the hybrid's boot. ]
Happy | @happyflowey
Happy screamed just before he was smashed underneath Corrupt then screamed again when he was flung. This would have probably been funny, given the almost cartoony nature of how it happened, had it not been for the circumstances their in.
The flower was dazed and confused on top of Sela's head, finally breathing after screaming and getting smashed underneath his boyfriend. After a wheeze and a cough he felt a bit of pinkish blood coming from one of the bruises on his head. He looked at it confused, and then the confusion turned into an angry scowl.
* Yeah I'm fully fucking convinced you're a threat to everyone here, Johnny! Way to give a pal a concussion!..... He barely realized he was on top of Sela's head and well, could have been literally turned into an unfortunate ring toss ring to her horns.
* ........ I'm pretty sure I could have literally died just now, either by being smashed with a tad bit more pressure or fucking stabbed by a horn. You're doing a poor job of expressing protection or love! And I don't wanna associate myself with someone who's just going to fling me and Corrupt around whenever he wants to because he feels like he has "reasons"!
He used a very mocking tone when he said, "reasons", and he remains on top of Sela, hanging onto one of her horns carefully while trying to recover quickly. She hadn't said anything about him being up there for the time being so he's using that time to recover quickly.
* Nobody is giving you reasons, you're doing it yourself, and you're gonna keep going until you kill everyone, accident or not! Hell I just want to leave with my boyfriend to continue a goddamn date I had been wanting for so long... is that too much to fucking ask for? IS IT? I didn't ask to be smashed on the ground and FLUNG TO BE NEARLY STABBED. I'M SURPRISED I'M ALIVE, PAL.
By now, just as he prepared himself for anyone to strike at him quickly that he steeled himself to try and take another hit.
However, what had came next when Sela had went forth to strike, her fist had struck true that the shock had come off as jarring, prompting the titan to hunch over a moment.
Unbeknownst to him, the demoness' punch had effectively cracked it.
As Sela's claws had managed to find purchase and gripped at the fractured molar in order to yank at it, that she hadn't factored in the supportive effort from Hollow's...Unusual magic.
Now, she did expect for a guttural sound of the tooth separating it but the fact the unprecedented assistance had lead to a much more inconvenient measure as the recoil was enough to disorient her balanced stance.
Suddenly, the screen on his face begins to flicker violently with his face twisting in sheer pain, but as soon as his response was to scream from the shock coursing through his whole being that he was suddenly brought down to kneel thanks to Vainglory's opportune time to sneak in a hit at their left leg.
During this state, the fact Paul had chosen to leap in with the punch dead centered and crashed against his screen had managed to jostle him enough to almost cause the titan to prostrate, his face within mere inches from the floor.
Heavy breaths were exhaled before his obscured face would shoot up, gaze directly centered on Sela while ignoring Paul.
The built up anger alone would make the titan dart his left hand up before swatting both of them in close proximity away with enough force to send them flying back, to the point where the defensive measures taken by Revak and Lillith wasn't enough to catch them.
Lucky or not, Paul is the first to crash into a wall with Sela colliding into the mushroom, which thanks to him had cushioned the impact.
The titan soon pushes himself up to a slow stand, clutching at the injured spot before he'd do his best to shrug it off and proceed to focus again. He would then raise a foot before pressing down with a mighty stomp and in turn, Johnny's stance seems to shift as his upper body hunches slightly before the coalescing arcs of energy seems to rise to a crescendo.
Meanwhile, with Avarice that his curious intentions to go for the portal would lead to have an outburst of vines to suddenly break out of the floor beneath him just as soon as their hand had just been within mere inches from the opening to cross over to Waterfall.
Ensnared, they were abruptly slammed into the ground and were stuck. To which a mere looming threat was now aimed directly at him.
A rather familiar pattern is now present from the titan, indicated by the ascending power collecting from within the chest-mouth. Even though their defenses may be slipping, it's gonna take a lot more to interrupt this attack.
Avarice | @thesmilingtragedy
Avarice was pinned to the floor! They were squished some more, and they try to kick their legs in the air as much as the vines would allow.
OOF! F L O O R!
Hollow | @misunderstoodkings
It seemed to be going at least somewhat well. But the Alpha's response to the combined assault was quick and powerful.
Hollow had to release his grip on Sela's soul when he saw the titan reel back to swat her and Paul away, not wanting to hurt her by accident. He watched them fly, contemplating catching them but he could only affect one.
In the end, he decided to conserve his energy and let them crash, hopefully they wouldn't be too hurt. His attention was directly on Johnny, who was continuing to build up energy, and it was for something he definitely recognized.
And it seemed to be aimed at the strange one who jumped in from the sidelines, pinned to the floor, a trapped target. The alpha would be too strong for him to pull Avarice away with his blue magic, he had to think of something else.
The voice inside him spoke up, already having an idea in mind. "Welp, time to pass the baton. Purp, take the rest of my energy and see what you can do. Give daffodil hell for me, okay?"
Hollow felt his insides lurch about, collapsing to the ground from the sudden rush that poured through him. He wasn't used to the souls changing themselves around, let alone so quickly.
The blue glow in his eye vanished, replaced with a deep purple color. It darted about, confused from suddenly being shoved out.
"Huh? What? Oh, crap baskets...." The voice blended almost perfectly with Hollow's own, only a slightly higher octave to it. "I have no idea if they'll be strong enough...but I will have to get closer to use them."
Shakily the king stood up and made his way over to Johnny and Avarice, stumbling a bit from the dizziness that still fogged his mind. Once he was a few yards away, he took a stance and breathed deep to clear his thoughts and focus. Purple energy coated his claws but vanished quickly.
"Oh no, please no...." Was it too soon? Did the change disrupt the energy too much? They tried again, and again, but nothing but fizzling energy. "Come on, we have to persevere so we can help, so we can protect." With that, the burst of energy that Blue passed over poured into the magic and kicked it into action.
Dark purple chains fired out of the king's hands, launching out to try and wrap around the titan, primarily targeting the chest mouth to seal it shut. He had no idea how strong they were, especially in comparison to Johnny's power.
Revak | @blazing--soul
[With Sela and Paul whizzing past him, Revak's head swiveled to look back towards the pair, mouth agape with shock. He'd turn back to the titan just upon spotting energy swathing from the mouth on his chest, and, upon quickly realizing the intent, took off running towards him.]
* Shit, shIT SHIT!!
[The dragon would hop upwards, sending a few bursts of flame to aid him in changing his airborn direction, first throwing him to the right, then a midair somersault to the left, before one last burst would send him in a single frontflip overhead, a burning blaze building within his OWN mouth...]
[Upon his head being aimed downwards towards Johnny, Revak would fire off a midair beam of pure flame, laced, once again, with flickering, yellow electricity, a familiar, thunderous "BOOM" crackling from the attack.]
Sela | @the-junk-sela
The unprecedented assistance surely did throw her off. She had felt something during her approach, but didn't think much on it until her fist was flying that she felt herself move forward with more force than given. Johnny fell forward, and in came Paul with a punch to the face, but there was little time to react as that TV face face shot up to glare directly at her, and no time to throw her arm up in defense.
Sela felt her feet leave the floor, and a second passed before suddenly impacting the wall. While Paul had been behind her to take the brunt of the force, they were still moving fast enough that they made an impact dent in the rock.
Another knocking could be heard in their vicinity almost right after the impact crash, the sudden stopping of their momentum made Sela's horns bounce off the stone. Paul may have unintentionally caught most of her, but she was still taller than him.
She fell forward and landed on her hand and knees, but the force against her head threw balance off, making her fall forward on her right shoulder. Nothing is said, she doesn't stir.
Paul | Flourishingbatter
It had happened all so fast, from watching Johnny react in pain to actively getting swatted like little insects. Though, he was initially squished, dazed to the point where he could almost see stars as his vision seemed to blur with the world seeming to swim in a hypnotic sway.
"Di-...Did anyonE CAtch thE LIcense on thaT truCK?"
He asked, voice distorted by a dizzy slurring tone. Though, it would take him a few seconds to recover, much less despite his soft exterior that he was hard to take down. Essentially, he comes to his senses, blinking and discovering how well enough he had sunken into a hole in a wall.
A faint glimpse downwards makes the mushroom notice the still form of Sela, which alerts and set off immediate red flags in Paul's mind as he proceeded to try and perch both hands at the stone to try and pull himself out.
"S-Sela?! Hey! N-No time for a quick nap, c'mon!" He pleaded, not willing to entertain the thought of what he dreaded the most right now.
Sela
Not too long after Paul began addressing her, did a low noise escape her throat.
Paul
The mushroom blinks, before putting more immediate effort to pull himself out, which an audible POP!! was heard before Paul eventually fell down face first then scrambled up to his knees and proceeded to place a hand on her shoulder and gave a light nudge to try and get her attention.
Lilith | @ribbcn-bxnes
[* Dammit dammit dammit! This was getting worse by the second! Everyone was throwing attacks but they still wasn't stopping Johnny! Whatever was coming next...it wasn't gonna stop until it launched. And despite Revak's attempt at fighting against it.... it wouldn't work. Not with his attack alone. She seriously was hoping she wouldn't have to do this infront of others. That it wouldn't get this bad to need it but... but it looked like she had no choice in the matter. It was either change, or get obliterated. A hand clutched her chest, then she spoke up.] "....I want those who are close to me to back away for a moment. There is something I need to do and I do not want to accidently do more damage in the process."
Sela
The light nudging to her shoulder causes her to groan and open her eyes and look at the perpetrator. Oh-- Paul, right. "... Sorry." She slowly pulled herself up to sit on her knees, wincing slightly as she brings her hand to her head. "Knocked my horns, it rattled me a bit... are you okay?"
Paul
As much as he wanted to exhale in major relief, there was still the problem they were currently dealing with but as long as a friend wasn't gone, things were going to be fine.
To her question, he'd try his best to give her a thumbs up, grinning slightly while the right of his cheek looked a bit swollen but no discoloring. "Y-Yeah...Gonna take a lot more than that to knock me out...Heh..."
"But-..." He pauses, directing his attention back to Johnny for a moment before his face seemed to pale in surprise at witnessing the charge up. "...Oh no...What are they doing now...?!"
Sela
Sela turns her attention to the situation at hand. Restrainst, charging, so much fire and lightning. That did not look like a safe direction to go. The direction Johnny's beam was facing.... Oh God. Avarice sits pinned, flailing as wildly as he can. Those vines, they wouldn't be easy to cut, and as her hand falls it pauses in front of her. The tooth is still in her grip. "... Paul," She brings herself to her feet, a headache already present, "Help me try to get Avarice out. Please. I'd rather not have the theory of how durable he is be tested against whatever Johnny's about to do."(edited)
Paul
He blinks, switching his gaze between to Johnny and to her, as he had been processing her words. He was actually gonna try to off their friend? Again, this didn't seem like Johnny but either way, that was something he nor anyone would allow.
Seeing as she was standing up, he proceeds to get back onto his feet and ignore his own well being for a moment, trying to see if he can offer himself as a crutch option for her to lean on.
"Ya got it Sela! We'll have him out lickety split!" He exclaims, pumping a fist out that emphasized his supporting nature. Despite the adversity in the atmosphere, Paul still had enough time to try and share his optimism with his friends and the like.
Sela
She smirks lightly, giving him a gentle bop on the mushroom cap with the back of her hand.
"Sounds good."
After that smack to the face and promptly taking a moment on the floor to collect herself, the demoness pulled herself up at Paul's behest. He was the one who cushioned the blow for her, but he was worried about her?
Well, the knock to her head through her horns was painful, but it was fortunately just a headache and not a concussion. The pair assessed the situation, when Sela noticed the predicament Avarice had been placed in... and worried that any distraction tactics would not stop this, another measure had to be taken.
With the tooth in hand, and enlisting Paul's help, the demoness bounds over for Avarice as fast as she can. "You dumbass, people would be sad if you got really hurt you know!!" She scolds Avarice, doing her best to use the tooth as a makeshift saw... but if that was proving to take too long, Sela would just go ahead and start using her own teeth to rip them as best as possible.
Paul
Taking huge hits was much of a common thing during his time into boxing but right now, a friend was in need of their help. He'd take note the way she talked to him and did have a fleeting thought of wondering how well they knew the scribbly man.
Regardless, no time to lament on such things as he'd quickly follow along, going ahead to kneel down to try and pry away the vines despite the inconvenience of wearing boxer gloves. "Don't worry buddy, we'll getcha out!"
Avarice
MAMMA M I A, you DO c a r e!!
Avarice smiled wide to Sela and Paul as they worked on the vines. He tilted his head at awkward angles to get a look at everyone.
Things were definitely getting... Heated. As discreetly as he could, his thumb severed from his hand, and began attempting to crawl away through the vines. It wanted to get away from any possible attack- and get to the portal!
Lilith
[* Alright Lilith. Breathe in... breathe out. You can do this. You don't do it often but....aw hell. This was gonna hurt. Lilith kneeled, crimson magic beginning to form and swirl about her body.
Fabric ripped and tore away as spines forced their way through. Her gloves, quickly becoming too tight, were discarded, revealing the enlongated claws beginning to form. Her ribboned fedora too was tossed to the side in time to allow the new pairs of horns to grow through without sacrificing anymore articles of clothing.]
[* Finally, she achieved her new height and shook off what remained of her dress. Hell if she wasn't sore all over because of this form... but there were more important matters mind right now. Steam hissed between her jowls, her jaw opened just slightly.
A faint whine can be heard building up from within her as Red begins to wane and glow brighter between her teeth. One fist planted on the earth and she braces herself. As soon as the other's beam would fire, she would as well as a counter. She just hoped to the gods it would be enough.]
Vainglory | @puppet-time
Vainglory winced and skittered back a few steps, his eyes following the carnage that occurred just next to him. He growled, cracking his 'knuckles' and began stepping towards Alpha, gritting his teeth.
"No one hurts mushroom pal and gets away with it you big sack of SHIT!!"
Where the mallet had once been, it had reformed and turned into what looked like a crowbar. Vainglory's gaze fixated on that no-good chest mouth and with a swift motion, he jumped towards Alpha's leg.
If successful, he would cling on and climb around the knee-thorn, proceeding to climb up to the chest mouth. He would then make a hearty attempt and try to use the crowbar to pull out one of the bigger teeth in the chest mouth.
As a select few waited in anticipation for him to make the first move, he'd turn his full body and begin marching towards them but then there was also the fact a sudden joint attack from Revak and Avarice, to which the half-ling had boosted the scribble that allowed their drop kick to have more 'oomph'.
Much to the success of his kick directly striking against his face, had made the titan's steps grow slower as his head was slightly jarred to the side.
Annoyed by this, Johnny felt every right to snatch Avarice and squash them ; An attempt that would soon be interrupted as he felt a cooling chill creep against his right arm.
A brief inclination would foretell that ink was up to their tricks again, and most likely target that weakness Corrupt had taken advantage of. He wasn't allowing that.
Not one bit, as the eye would forcefully shut tight against the ink already trying to blind it. And for the next, to shut up that loathsome brat. With a sudden yank, he easily pulled them - as if Johnny was unearthing cables from the floor before using them as a makeshift whip and snapped them at Avarice as they would become wrapped around their waist.
"I'll show you discipline!"
The titan reeled his arm back, sending the two up in the air before swinging down, smashing them against the ground, rebounding the two to be sent back near the group as Johnny straightened up once again, the opening in his chest now starting to take on a more brighter light coming forth as the energy pouring out seemed to escalate...Along with a low hum whistling from that same gap.
Johnny is showing restraint but it definitely looks like something is siphoning from within that body. Be careful.
Avarice | @thesmilingtragedy
BOING-OING!
Like a spring, Avarice smooshes against the ground, and rebounds, flying towards the group!
Revak | @blazing--soul
[Shit...! While their attack struck true, Revak cringed as Avarice took the brunt of the punishment along with Vainglory. That... couldn't have felt nice for either of them.]
[Landing on the ground, Revak rushes forward, catching the two in his arms with a small 'oomph!' busting from the dragon's throat, and dropped them, realizing he was holding Avarice bridal style.] * ...S-sorry...
Avarice
Avarice couldn't even thank his hero before falling on his back. Ack! He rolls a bit before coming to a stop, lying on his back. ... he begins to giggle. More, and more, and more.
... h e e h e e h e e h e e hEE HEE HEE HEE HA HA H A H A H A H A!! AGAIN! A G A I N!!
Sela | @the-junk-sela
She's had enough. She's had enough of his tough alpha male act.
It doesn't even seem like she cares about the fact that he looks like he's charging up for something big and flashy. And as Avarice flies toward the group, Sela merely ducks her head forward so he doesn't get caught on her horns. Once that was done, she'd rise back up. Her mood was palpable at this point, and she was radiating it.
Revak
[Revak snorted at Avarice's antics, but soon kicked back into high gear, shaking his head a bit before rushing forward again, stopping next to Sela.]
[While the dragon was used to fighting, he also was growing sick of this front Johnny was putting up. To think that such brutality was coming from someone who at one point had been an ultimately docile and laid-back flora... No, this had to end.]
[He gave a side glance to the demoness. Seeing what the titan had already done to Hollow, Mal, and very nearly himself, he knew he'd need to excersize more caution than in most fights.]
[He stood straight, glaring down their approaching captor with a bright yellow glint in his eye, much akin to the eerie glow pulsing from his opponent.]
* ...Yeah, keep strutting, ya overgrown metal rooster.
Lilith @ribbcn-bxnes
[* Lilith made sure to make a precautionary avoidace from Avarice being thrown their way, though luckily it seems as though they were caught by Revak. Less to worry about. Lilith marches her own way up to stand beside Revak and the others, hands well ignited and ready to fling more fire.]
"Any plans for what is coming next possibly?" [* She asked eyeing the group to her side but not turning her head, wanting to keep the Titan well in her peripherials.]
Sela
He was approaching, and she was going to meet him. Despite the caution the others are starting to show, Sela instead clenches her fist and starts walking toward Johnny, silent in response to the things being said or asked.
Revak
[Golden eyes flicked from Lilith back to Sela, as she began to meet him head on.] * Best guess? Wait to back Sela up.
Avarice
More giggling... Avarice is sneaking, slinking across the coliseum floor like a shadow. They head towards a wall... and try to reach for the portal.
They want.
Lilith
[* She nods, watching Sela walk ahead. She can't help but feel a tinge of dread in her soul.] "I can do that I suppose."
Sela
Left undeterred, Sela would approach Johnny. While her gait could be considered a 'casual sashay', there was nothing casual about the aggression in her demeanor.
But despite this, she didn't look to be preparing a strike... yet.
Her tails flicker about like an angry cat. Once close enough, she gives pause to let the moment settle, and maybe just when his guard was lowered to her, her fist would fly.
Not for the obvious target, no. Her fist goes flying straight to the lower teeth of that chest mouth, the smaller ones near the belt line. Ones that are probably close together unlike the large, splayed ones above her head. Whether successful or not in knocking some teeth in doesn't matter, 'cause she's not done yet.
Her hand in close proximity, it seizes the closest tooth she can wrap her claws around and yanks back. If this works, she's aiming to snap the tooth off of him, in what could potentially be a sickening SNAP.
Revak
[Revak stooped into a defensive stance, wincing at what he knew would be bad, whichever way this went, ready to jump in at a moment's notice.]
Lilith
[* Lilith admired the demoness's boldness, but it'd be less worrying if their friend wasn't a giant powerdriven Alpha that could quite easily send them flying. Reguardless, Lilith was ready to move or support when needed.]
Paul | FlourishingBatter
Seeing how Sela was taking the lead and the others opting for a...Risky manuever that Paul opted to synchronise his attack with hers.
The combo alone would essentially be jarring sure, since he was measuring how he had been on the recieving end of the demoness' punch.
Regardless, he begins to circle his right arm for a moment, twisting around and around to effectively rev things up.
Now ready, he begins to sprint with his fist curled back as he saw Sela go in for a literal tooth breaker - which really, Paul could've easily winced at that considering- ...There wasn't any time for memories as he then skidded to a halt before leaping up as best as he could muster then proceeded to take a heavy handed haymaker aimed at whatever he could hit on Johnny. If this wasn't able to knock them back into their senses then who knows what will.
Vainglory | @puppet-time
Vainglory let out a frustrated growl as the Great Eye shut, preventing his plan from coming to fruition. The ink tendril retreated, slithering back to Vainglory and fleeting into the puddle it came from.
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixating on the behemoth that stood in their way. The ink skittered towards Alpha as fast as he could, and as he got closer, one of his ink roots formed a giant mallet, identical to the one used earlier. With a mighty swing, he attempted to slam the mallet into the titan's leg with as much strength as he could muster.
Hollow | @misunderstoodkings
While everyone went about their work trying to figure out how to assault the Alpha, there was still nothing but silence from the hole.
The king had been knocked out from the powerful series of impacts and explosions. He simply lay there in his damaged state until a voice spoke up inside him "Wake up." One eye shot open with a bright blue energy shining from it.
With a roar and a push of energy the rubble was scattered away from him. The goat monster stood, and stepped out of the hole, yawning.
There were various cuts and bruises lining his body, and even a crack had formed in one of his horns. One of his eyes was shut from swelling, with a gash over it. But his armor had managed to take the brunt of the damage, with countless dents in it, including one big one in the middle that had cracks all around it.
As he spoke, there was another voice layered again. But this time, the extra voice seemed to be stronger than his own.
"Good thing we wear armor, or that would've done more than sting." The voice had a childish air to it, and a sassy tone.
The one open eye scanned the area to see what had happened during the brief moment he was unconscious.
Some of the others were standing back, on guard. The little inky flower was ready with a hammer. Paul looked to be readying some sort of punch alongside the demon girl. Oh there's an idea.
Still standing at the gaping opening in the wall, a hand was raised, coated in blue magic. Carefully he gripped onto Sela's soul, waiting for the right moment. When he saw it, he spoke up.
"Hey Daisy Dukes, think fast!" He called to the Alpha. As she would launch her punch, he'd grip completely and send her forwards like a rocket, and partially release to let the momentum carry her the rest of the way. But he still held on, lightly, ready to pull her back if need be.
As he watched Sela abruptly turn and announce her act to go and get his parents, had sent a chill to come through the unnatural haze of his anger. It was only dispelled the moment he had to come to one realization.
"So you intend to just jump off the tower and teeter on over to them?"
While he had relayed that to the demoness, he had taken note of the simple mine being laid down by Revak of all things. It certainly added...Something new. One reasoning and another, they really expected him to falter with using examples of his parents?
They wouldn't understand this overwhelming rush, that of which he was trying to restrain but they continued to test his mettle. It didn't help with Happy speaking and adding onto that example of being his parents to which he retaliates with little effort - a vine crawling out from the cracks of the ground and was sent hurling towards the flower, wrapping around their mouth suddenly.
Despite this attempt to silence them, it would seem the tendril was more or less brittle, due to Johnny's lack of attention and could easily be bitten down.
[ Hollow's helpful act of healing Revak had yielded great effects with alleviating any injury prior to the titan's attacks. ]
Strangely, this wouldn't go unnoticed as Johnny's screen suddenly broke into a fit of violent static before he focused, blinking to process what that was, seeing Malevolent heading straight towards him would immediately alert him, sidestepping to the left, their punch sadly does little to hit Johnny ; the response given was to only dart his right hand up and snatch at their head, claws fully squashing down their bloom and squeeze slightly at the tv head.
"...The hell was that supposed to be?"
The question, for what it was worth, had a tinge of mockery to it. Not waiting for an answer, Johnny takes one step forward until he'd suddenly bring them down with a sudden slam into the earth, right on top of where the mine had been placed.
This in turn, along with the trap being amplified by Lillith's magic, would result in a devastating explosion, Malevolent taking most of the punishment due to their recklessness.
Johnny blinked, realizing that he felt the telltale signs of stinging on his skin. Was that pain he felt? No, that couldn't be, he had to remind himself that he was strong, if he were to continue sharing his protection.
During this time, Vainglory had successfully eluded the sights of the titan, though what they had in mind would continue to remain lost on Johnny as currently, he had been staring at the aftermath of the impact he had caused which left a smoldering charred hole with Malovent's whole entire head to be driven into the ground, their body from the neck down arching in stunned silence.
By this point, once he had stood up, a sudden sense of vertigo overcomes him - as if the world began to swim. It was subtle, granted but he easily shook it off to regain his bearings.
Regardless, the titan foregoes any sense of caution for his own well-being, proceeding to go ahead and trek towards Sela.
"My parent's aren't to know until I deem it ready nor can they do anything to shift my stance on this whole situation. I am gonna be a damn cause against invaders and the likes of which develop out of our sights!!"
[ The aura begins to flicker and wane for a moment in tune to their emotional state, it's luster becoming more apparent by the minute as it's flow continued to grow the more obvious. It is unknown whether if Johnny is becoming more aware about this. ]
The struggle continues underneath the cut...But what’s this?
Revak | @blazing--soul
[Unfortunately, the dragon didn't have much time to process Hollow's aid, Revak's eyes widened in pure horror as his and Lilith's efforts ended up used to damage Mal with devastating results.]
* NO!!!
[A low, bestial growl of rage bubbles from his throat, his eyes, now once again slitted with fury. Through blind anger, he seemed to fail to notice the titan's stumbling, or sense any change, but that didn't matter... Seeing him strolling right past the intended safeguard for Sela to get past, he did the first thing that came to mind...]
* THEN HOW ABOUT PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS THREAT, YA PATCHWORK PRISON GUARD?!
[A pulsing orange aura, resembling that of a flame began to flicker off of the dragon, fire building in his hands before throwing them back, launching himself off the ground right towards Johnny's side, his sole intent, if nothing else, to keep him from reaching Sela, the dragon using continued bursts of fire magic to begin spinning like a drill, surrounding himself in flame and hurtling towards their captor headfirst.]
Hollow | @misunderstoodkings
Hollow could do little more than watch in abject horror at the events that took place nearby him. His position placed him far enough away from the explosion, but he could feel the shockwave...if only he had waited another turn to try and heal someone.
He'd have to try again once he had enough energy, and hope it wasn't too late. He struggled to lift his own trident, let alone move, trying to shift his position to stand between Johnny and the retreating Sela.
Looking up with a green glint in his eye he spoke, an eerie softness to his voice. *Fighting isn't the only way to protect Johnny. There's always another path, a better path than death and destruction, trust me. Why not try a little kindness and show some mercy instead....it might work a little better, and you don't have to hurt your friends in the process."
Unable to really fight for the moment, all he had were words. But even he didn't know where they were coming from.
Vainglory | @puppet-time
Vainglory smirks with all four of his mouths as he looks up at the back of Alpha's head.
He takes note of the jet engine on their back and, with a hearty leap off of the ground, jumps onto Alpha's back and tries to cling onto it as best as he can. If successful, the ink would climb up Alpha's back and around the Jet Engine, and then climb onto his head.
If this plan of his succeeded, he would shapeshift one of his ink roots into a huge mallet, and with a exuberant swing, he would smash the ink mallet into the side of Alpha's head.
Malevolent | @devoidmalevolence
Well, Mal would likely be there for a moment. Getting smashed into the ground and barbecued was not on his agenda today, and yet here he was, truly a master of bad life choices.
He had at least one regret, at least one; for now he's a little too dazed to think of that regret though.
Paul | Flourishingbatter
If anything could make Paul drop his jaw in abject surprise, it was this very moment to when Johnny had performed a brutal takedown on Malevolent.
"A-Ahh!! Dude! That's your friend!!" Nonetheless, he chooses to rush on over to the dunked omega and proceeds to get them out, by...Pulling on their chromatic tail of theirs.
Corrupt | @corruptedflora
[Y e e s h. That went to Hell Pretty Quick. Corrupted just Stared and Frowned a little as Johnny Forced Mal to Eat the Ground and Toasted Him in the Process. Hopefully Mal wasn't Dead Yet.]
*...You're gonna be the Protector of Nobody Soon if You End up Killing Them, You Idiot...
[He Muttered a few More Insults to Himself but Noticed the Aura Flickering. That wasn't a Good Sign. May as Well do Something Before it gets Worse. He was getting Impatient and the Need to Punch the Titan was Growing like an Itch. Seeing Revak's Flames Held Him Back from it... but Only for a Moment. Corrupt Rushed, Jumped up, and Putting His Hands Together in a Fist , Whacked the Eye Bulging from Johnny's Shoulder as if it were a Volleyball.] }
Lilith | @ribbcn-bxnes
[* ...Well fuck. Note to self, don't add fire to an electrical mine. You'll fry your comrades on accident if they get too close. Before she could attempt try anything else, Revak zoomed past her in a rush of rage. Hadn't they just tried bull rushing earlier?! It wouldn't end well!]
"H-hold on!" [* Buuut to no avail. Her voice went unheard and the halfbreed zoomed on. She shook her head. Everything was beginning wayy out of hand again already and the most she could really do was provide support for right now while everyone else went for the heavy hitting to keep him back. Ah well. Try and try again until you couldn't try anymore, right? Lilith would shuffle back to gain distance before changing stance again, this time getting low to the ground. One hand placed firmly on the ground. When she felt Johnny would come close enough, she slid it across the concrete in an arc, summoning an angled horizontal wall of bone facing the titan. It would be meant to push him back, perhaps off balance if she got lucky. She just hoped the others would fare well on their own for now.]
Sela | @the-junk-sela
Despite not turning around, she could hear what was happening. And it wasn't good. Facing away from everyone, her teeth grit in anger--more anger.
This was ridiculous.
Her stride was casual, continuing the same way she was moving even with all the danger going on behind her. God, so stubborn. She'd fought monsters this stubborn, and took joy in rubbing their face in the floor when done--this wouldn't be that easy unfortunately.
She had no idea what tactics the others were doing exactly by sound, she only had moments to pull this off. Her casual stride away disappeared in a flash as she'd rushed back with great speed toward Alpha.
Split second decisions saw her jump up and us the flat of Hollow 's Trident to vault up and--if she got there fast enough--would swing her foot round hard to kick the flat of her foot against his tv-face.
Avarice | @thesmilingtragedy
... Someone stood off to the side, watching silently. There was a simply a cough as they watched the carnage.
[Paul's attempt to rescue Malevolent would be met with success, though, more likely uprooting their whole figure as the mushroom had no trouble keeping them lifted over their head. While he had been busy, they would easily be ignored by Johnny. ]
Not even gaining the chance to continue his walk forward, that Revak would slam head first into their side, coated in a sheer flare of heat yet the damage only came off as a mild burn, comparing it to an incessant rubbing at high speeds.
Johnny grimaces, gritting his teeth - both his face and his chest in perpetual synchronization, then took it upon himself to try and quickly swat the pest away. Though, while distracted, he failed to notice Vainglory's hammer coalesce into shape and hovered far above him before it would come smashing down with utmost force that perhaps the ink had been too keen with their violent instinct.
The damage he had dealt would cause the titan's head to bob forward violently from the abrupt crash of the ink-hammer against the plastic-like material and metallic petals bending down.
Despite Hollow's attempt to reason with the titan, it would all fall on deaf ears due to the fact their voice was drowned out by the combatants attacks striking him. By now, Johnny was completely getting fed up, choosing to dart his hand back and claw at whoever had been behind him - Completely snatching Vainglory up in a clenched grasp indicated by a wet squish of liquid before using that very same hand to finally swat away Revak with the inkling already slapped onto their chest.
Once the pests had been dealt with, Johnny continued his progress, completely using his whole body to smash and break apart the sudden bone wall conjured by Lillith, leaving her attempt moot to stop him.
However, this also meant a window of opportunity to be presented for Corrupt's rush-in to hit the eye with utmost force they could muster. The titan was sent reeling back slightly, as the Great eye would close and twitch uncontrollably, a drop rolling out from a tear duct as the damage alone had caused Johnny to shout out in surprise, as he certainly knew they had bruised it.
"What the F-"
He was left no time to process the attack as he had been interrupted suddenly by a leaping kick colliding against his screen, leaving him nothing but a sore reminder of underestimating Sela's strength.
"Gaugh-!!"
Johnny swerves with a twist, the force alone causing him to rear away as he had been registering his mistake and came to a realization.
He was getting hurt.
How was this possible? Shouldn't their attacks not even affect him? If they were getting stronger, by other means he was unaware about it then another conclusion would come to mind.
He was getting WEAK.
He would not dare to show it, more likely scold himself for lulling into such a state that these souls powering him weren't doing their job.
While staggering back, he had regained his bearings...Mostly, facing away from the group as he had been hunched over, clutching at the bruised eye until he had heard a mechanical click as the grotesque arm would fall and crash against the ground.
Initially, his anger would begin to peak once more, feverishly inhaling as he proceeded to straighten up. Veering headfirst towards the group with a jerking twist, The titan's contemptuous sneer was displayed to them all before proceeding to back away, transitioning into a sudden hop back and initially used the jet augment to clear a rather large distance away from them.
Landing with an abrupt skid, his right hand dangling haphazardly like dead weight - Save for the fact Johnny was already improvising on this setback.
Jostling the weight around, he adjusts his upper body to whip the hand around as if it were a weighted object indicated by it crashing about into the arena's walls.
Even though the arm was still recovering and barely functioning, this demonstration alone would speak in large volumes of how he is improvising ; which nonetheless was a bad thing all together.
Rearing back his upper body in preparation Johnny would then proceed to swing the appendage out and towards the group, despite the distance the titan had cleared, would demolish any sense of doubt as it would completely extend outward once again in a great felling swoop as it's reach alone would trip, smack, or worse, clothesline anyone unlucky enough in it's path.
Which of course, the group fell into that criteria.
Everyone, from being immediately caught off balance to getting an immediate swat to the face would then find themselves on the floor. Dazed but so far, a minor injury to account.
Johnny, despite having his focus trained at this 'rebellion', would hear the telltale sound of someone coughing.
That someone in particular...Was Avarice.
Lounging upon the stone seating of the coliseum rather than join the fight. Snapping his direction towards the intrusion, it took him only a few seconds to comprehend their presence until his nonplussed expression soon shifted into a glare, a look that bled with a certain ire of hatred towards him.
"...YOU." Whether it was coincidence alone, it didn't matter. What did however was that the clown had finally made their presence known. He would not let up nor let this chance run away as he'd then direct his attention at them, swinging about the weighted arm and flung it towards their spot and upon crashing, caused an eruption of dust and rubble to scatter about at the blast zone.
[ It was unknown whether or not Johnny had succeeded. Though, it seems he is checking to make sure they had gotten Avarice. The 'aura' however continues it's ongoing presence of pulsing wisps of energy surrounding the titan by the second. ]
[ The uneasy atmosphere continues to permeate, perhaps even more thicker to how this battle continues on. ]
The battle continues under the cut...
Revak | @blazing--soul
[Rolling to a halt after being knocked over, Revak gingerly set @Vainglory , whom had been thrown into the dragon with Johnny's counterattack, down next to him. If he'd heard and seen correctly, Johnny was... wincing! They were actually dealing damage...!]
[Unfortunately, with the titan's acknowledgement of Avarice's arrival, it seemed he didn't quite have enough time to process this, as the limp appendage came crashing down in a cloud of dust.]
[Though with distraction, comes opportunity, as the dragon stood up, manifesting three more lightning blades, his eyes drifting towards the still-smoking crater the Mal had just been laying in...]
[An idea struck him, and his eyes snap towards @Lilith , a stare filled with purpose as he called out.] * Lilith!
[He makes a subtle nod towards the yet to be launched attack, and would fire it off the moment she caught on.]
Lilith | @ribbcn-bxnes
[* Ok, at this point she was getting pretty tired of being slapped around silly. This was just plain ridiculous! Quick to shake off her daze, Lilith was quick to hop right back on her feet and ready to raise hell(maybe even literally). She reels an ignited claw back, but then she stops, her attention called by Revak.
She looks at the lightning blades, then back at her hand, then back to the blades.... OOOOHHHH. Aaand it clicks! A rather dangerous idea.. but if it did as much accidental damage as it did to Mal, then it should do something to Johnny! Lilith nodded back then raised both now ignited claws ready to support! As soon as Revak would use his attack, Lilith would launch her fire to enhance the blades' power. Fingers crossed!]
Revak
[Upon his attack's enhancement via Lilith's flames, Revak gave a fanged smirk.]
* ...Let's see ya brush this off...
[And with that, the dragon would launch his joint attack at the titan, hurling them straight for his jet-back as the mutated flora searched out Avarice from within the debris, hoping to reduce his mobility in that way.]
Vainglory | @puppet-time
After being set down by Revak, he gave a quick nod of gratitude to the half-ling before his gaze fixated on the titan that continued to stand his ground. Vainglory hadn't noticed that Alpha was taking damage, however he did notice that the titan was scanning for the newcomer.
He let out a cocky chuckle and skittered forward, shapeshifting into an eagle with a disturbing amount of beaks. The inkling launched into the sky, flapping his inky wings as he scanned his surroundings once more.
Once his gaze was locked onto Alpha, he began to fly towards them, before diving downwards at the titan.
If his attempt to land on the titan's head was a success, he would proceed to peck on the top of his tv head as if he were a bird, in an attempt to annoy and/or distract him.
Avarice | @thesmilingtragedy
CRASH!! The impact is big, loud, and dramatic! No doubt that whoever was under it had been crushed...
...
... meanwhile, Avarice stood somewhere else, no doubt within earshot of Johnny. He giggles obnoxiously, a hand covering his smile.
OH-HO-M Y! Hee hee hee h e e...
Sela | @the-junk-sela
Sela landed on her feet, she could feel a small sting through her leg from the force of the kick, but she jumped back on her feet to widen the distance. Bouncing a bit in place, she shakes her arm slightly, moving like one would when getting ready to strike again.
Finally, her kick--their hits--were doing something. When the arm swing came, she had barely a moment to somewhat shield her side with her arm before the weight collided with her and sent her sliding on her feet before the force threw them out from under her and she went into a sliding roll.
"Nh..."
Came a groan once she finally stopped and moved quickly to pick herself up. Her sweater was a mess now, something to growl about later.
The right sleeve had come unrolled, and dangled like a flag as Sela returned to her feet, shoulders stretching back when--
"Oh my God--" Just enough time to register Avarice's presence.
She watched the others, before looking to the wisps of yellow emanating from Johnny. It most likely wasn't blood, but something about the sight didn't sit well with her.
"Are we really gonna have to fight him until he caves? This is gonna take fucking forever at this rate..." She is sitting back for the moment to observe.
Happy | @happyflowey
He was distracted, if only for a moment, when he watched Corrupted charge at Johnny and whack Johnny's shoulder eye.
Right afterward, he bit it viciously. Having big sturdy buck teeth was good for plenty of reasons, biting being one of them. As weak as the vine was, he didn't care. He didn't appreciate being shut up via having his mouth covered at all. Calmly after taking a depth breath and mumbling to himself about how hellish today turned out to be, and making the mental note that Johnny was taking damage, he screamed at the top of his lungs after picking himself up via vines and literally launching himself Johnny.
He made sure to fling his vines around in a whip like fasion to at least try get a hit somewhere. Honestly if he could form hands he would, and imediately aim for punching, but this is the best he gots so he's gonna roll with it.
Malevolent | @devoidmalevolence
After being removed from where his face- and well, the rest of him, had been smashed into the ground, he managed to get back on his feet, although still a bit shaky given what happened.
Mal shook his head a bit and frowned "Yeesh... Thats what I get for charging in blindly... Thanks uh- Paul was it?"
Although he doesn't look down at the other, his focus is back on Johnny, trying to determine best how to approach with everyone else charging in for an attack, he would much prefer to avoid getting smashed into the attacks of others again.November 22, 2017
Paul | Flourishingbatter
Though, still shaken, did his best to nod in response to Malevolent before deciding to promptly dust them off so as to make sure they were okay. "Yeah, thats my name." Frankly, he was lucky they hadn't been caught in that swoop of an attack and with how Johnny kept managing to pull out new tricks certainly made him feel sick to his stomach. Whether it was fear or dissapointment, he couldn't pinpoint it. For now, they needed to focus. "...How...Uh, do you wanna try somethin' else this time?" @Malevolent
Hollow | @misunderstoodkings
Hollow picked himself up with a groan, steadying himself with his trident. He looked around at the others as they worked to recover and strike again. Paul managed to get Mal out of the ground, who seemed to be well enough, but could likely use a bit more help.
As the former king started to make his way over to try and heal the omega, he felt the green energy flicker.
Pushing himself to rush forward he managed to lay a hand on the other just as it vanished, hoping something got through befoore it was gone.
"Curses...." He mumbled to himself before dropping to his knees. Hollow still hadn't quite recovered all his energy. And he knew he was going to need it soon as his gaze turned to Johnny.
"I wonder if any of the others are ready to speak up, yet..."
Corrupt | @corruptedflora
[Corrupt Smirked as He Landed. He Obviously didn't Feel too Bad About Hitting Johnny Anymore... Though He hadn't Expected the Arm to Crash down just like That. He Ended up getting Smacked When Johnny Swung at Them, Although it wasn't too Bad.] [Happy's War Cry Startled Him However, Giving Him into a Miniature Heart Attack. Upon Seeing He was Alright and... Soaring Towards Johnny with Such Ferocity, He just Stood There and Gently Cheered His Lover on Internally.]
Malevolent
Twitching a bit upon suddenly being touched by one of the others, Mal shrugged it off and turned his attention momentarily to Paul. "Something else? Yeah, he isn't the only one with tricks up their sleeve. Getting in close clearly isn't the most effective approach, at least in my case. At least he appears to be taking damage now, definitely good sign."
Paul
"I- I guess..." It still saddened him that Johnny wasn't being cooperative but, if this method was working then he was just going to have to take a chance about this. "...So what do ya got?"
Malevolent
"Well, a laser for one. Just gotta be careful about the others. Would rather they not end up like I did" He managed a slight chuckle, yeah he was probably gonna be sore later but no point in getting worked up about getting smashed into the ground and fried, he'd been through worse. "I have a few other tricks but we'll see if they become necessary. Hopefully we don't gotta take things too far, would hate for him to lose his souls, they're not so bad after the power trip passes"(edited)
Paul
"A-...A laser?" He stammered, blinking surprisingly at the incredulous statement. "...I- Well...You can try it but where are we gonna get that?"
Malevolent
"It's magic. I don't need to get anything for it. Just a fancy little ability I have thanks to my souls" he grinned
Paul
"Oh." Another blink, before the mushroom quickly shook his head to brush off his stupor. "T-Then let's try it then!"
Malevolent
Mal's grin seemed to extand to his second mouth as he rubbed his hands together "You ready to see something cool?" He moved a bit to make sure he hopefully wouldn't hit anyone else aside from Johnny.
The second mouth opened a bit and it would be apparent to Paul, and anyone else who happened to see, that some kind of energy was building up in that mouth before it opened wide and a beam of magic was released, aimed straight at Johnny.
Although after the attack he stumbled back a bit, he forgot that it packed quite the punch, especially when not braced against something himself
‘Sans’ kicks his feet idly. Upon closer inspection, it seems he’s made of some kind of blue tinted flame, tightly contained in his silhouette. The color is bleeding through the projection slightly. The skeleton’s hands and feet are also.. Irregular. Both appear to be a row of claw-like talons.
When the projection speaks, it almost sounds simultaneously far away and right before Johnny. A very mild echo.
* yeah. you could say i’m ‘not from here’ figuratively and literally. –wound up coming through the portal. it’s pretty impressive, gotta hand it to ya.
* something like this has never happened before. figured i would come check it out. meet whoever was responsible and get a feel for them.
The spectator shifts on his edge of the ring and shrugs carefully as he gestures at the luminous vortex that rested nearby. His tone was even and friendly, conversational almost. But what he was implying however…
* but i get the feeling you don’t know the true scope of what you just did yet, do you?
Johnny begins to squint his eyes further at this ‘Sans’. It clicked with the titan that their...Use of sounding friendly was only a ploy to what they were actually saying. His instincts would kick in to be wary about this projection, albeit more akin to him wanting to dissuade the person.
Their last words for him to respond on would leave Johnny in a form of internal conflict, implying as if the titan didn’t know the half of what his actions wrought. He scowls for a moment, a displeased sneer of contempt was aimed towards their general direction.
“...Don’t act like I’m stupid. I’ve seen enough of what these timelines can offer. They’re all a damn mess and I’m makin’ sure none of those ‘dangers’ crosses over.”
That reasoning alone was a wholesome truth he could keep saying over and over, considering his experiences had formed his opinion on subjects of the sort.
For him, it was time to put his foot down and prevent such atrocities with this power he now held.
“Unless you’re just here to relay cryptic words with me then you’re honestly wasting your time. The portal here is proof of that all of this is no exaggeration.”
