Shive roared after being swatted, ignoring Solranous's plea to listen to Hakaisha. He rushed forward and smashed his fist through the Golem's eye, spotting the Core Memory.
"That must be it!" He hissed, his voice deepening somewhat.
He grabbed the Core and ripped it out before punting it into the air. Just as it fell back down, Shive kicked it into the wall, following suit with Hakaisha (who now refused to say anything) and shoved the Zanpoktou through the Core Memory, then ripped it out. As thw two halves fell, Shive whipped around and fired a Kai wave diagonally at them, severing both halves in half ((Ow, I bit mah tongue XP)). He decided to finish it by launching a fireball at the quarters, destroying them in a burst of reiatsu-charged fire.
"Did it work?!" Shive asked.
His reiatsu amount had dropped considerably now, but he still hadn't noticed.
Oh... now I see... Hakaisha muttered silently.
*****
The claw emerging from the wall (actually, it appeared to be a part of it right now) bulged otwards at the base, slowly forming a body. Out of the wall above it, a single red eye opened and began to glow...

The Golem's countdown ceased, and the construct fell to pieces, meeting the same fate as the first one. And with the destruction of the core memory, theoretically no more Golems could be created.
"It worked, thats two down." Solranous said, still healing.
"Hrm... You prove to be more tenacious then I thought, the final Champion was still preparing, so you will have to wait for her." Armageddon growled, clearly unamused.
"Great, now he keeps us waiting." Solranous groaned. "Oh well, more time to heal. Shive! Can't you sense that your reiatsu is starting to run low!?"
(OOC: Are you creating a new Aparoid Golem? Only under a different name? Besides, expect Cynder's bio to get a new post to reflect how she will appear, yes, you guessed right, one of them is Cynder.)

((Nope. You'll just have to wait and see what it is.))
Shive scowled, yet again ignoring Solranous's voice. The only sounds he heard was his heart beating, the flow of blood rushing through it. It drove him mad, he wanted to see more blood! He started hearing the cracking of bones and the tearing of flesh, and his maw began to water. His eye twitched and his hands clenched and unclenched in anticipation.
He glanced at Hakaisha, who had reverted back to her unreleased state. He would've pondered why she had done that, but his bloodlust got in the way, clouding his thoughts and judgement. However, true to Solranous's words, Shive's reiatsu was now barely outlining his form, though its pressure remained unchanged. His eyes darted about the room, wanting something to kill. To his dissapointment, the only other living being was Solranous...
I could... NO! What the hell am I saying? But... I need blood. NOW. He thought.
His eyes drifted over to the dragon, claws twitching. He merely stood there, hunched, trying to decide what to do. His breathing soon became labored as the reiatsu diminished slowly, nothing more than a glow at the moment.

Genesic GaoGaiGar eyed Shive. There was something...wrong. Terribly wrong. He would have to keep an eye on the dragonkin. He also noticed the "snow" that was around his hip area.
Looks like someone doesn't want to play by the rules.. GaoGaiGar thinks to himself. Hmph...I'll just have to pay you back Armageddon..
He shrugs it off and awaits for the final Champion.
[glow=teal,2,300]So, Cynder...the last Champion. Anything I should know about her before we fight?[/glow]
Genesic GaoGaiGar crosses his massive arms.

(Act 6: Fall of the Dragon)
Before anybody could answer, they were teleported to a new arena. This one was further into the base, but it had no ceiling or walls. It was esentially a giant collumn spreading a mile in circumference. There were spikes on the edges, which started to glow and form tethers of energy, much like a wrestling ring.
A sensual, feminine chuckle could soon be heard as Cynder, now fifty feet tall, and eighty-seven feet long, crawled up and over the tethers, spreading her wings wide in an attempt at intimidation.
"My master has grown annoyed with your persistance. I will be your final opponent. Of course, if you beg for mercy, I may just make your deaths swift and painless. Either way, you won't live to see any one else again." the armored dragoness growled.
"Like hell we'll beg to you!" Solranous growled, healed enough to be a viable contender in the fight. "No holding back!"
Cynder glanced to the side, and laughed, before swinging her head up, "Bring it, whelps," she growled. Four barrels on her foreleg armor extended, firing bursts of energy at Shive. The dragonkin, caught off guard by the attack, was bombarded by over 6000 'bullets' of energy in just over a minute. Cynder turned her attention to Solranous before two more compartments in the armor on her back opened, revealing cannons. Cynder fired the Mortar cannons at Solranous, who barely dodged the first few, but was still hit by five others.
Knocked out temporarily, Solranous groaned. Cynder then glanced at GaoGaiGar.
"This one was specially made, just for you, robot." Cynder's armor quivered after she spoke, blasting an EMP Wave that started to short circuit GaoGaiGar, despite any shielding he may have.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This is too easy!" The dragoness commented, ready to char broil everyone with her Inferno Breath.

"bitch! I'll rip you a new-"
Shive's reiatsu-glow vanished, and the mask shattered. He returned to normal, and his eyes grew wide as he started to plummet. He felt completely void of energy, for he couldn't even move his fingers, nor sneeze for that matter. He hit the ground hard, knocking the wind out of him along with a spray of spittle.
damnit... why can't-I-move? He thought, eyes glazed over.
I suppose it's that mask of yours. It kept feeding off of your energy about halfway through the Golem fight, but you were so out of it, you didn't notice. I guess it gives you energy, then starts taking it away. Hakaisha stated dully, appearing in her avatar form.
Crap. That means I'm all out of energy then, huh? He asked weakly.
Yup. I guess that mask has reprocutions, doesn't it? Next time, be more careful. She stated, her back to Shive.
Urgh... um, Hakaisha? I... I yelled at you, didn't I? He asked.
Hakaisha merely huffed, glancing at the dragonkin over her 'shoulder'.
Yes. You did, once or twice. She muttered.
Shive clamped his eyelids shut, as if in pain. They slid back open again, and he glanced at the serpent. She had been... unusually quiet lately, even before he went to the moon with GGG and Solranous. He cocked an eyebrow.
I'm... I'm sorry. I lost myself back there... the mask made me lose my mind a bit... I didn't mean to yell at you. He apologized.
Hakaisha merely nodded dully, lost in her thoughts. Shive sighed, then glanced over at Cynder.
Why'd I have to run out now? He thought hopelessly.

GaoGaiGar twitches in pain. [glow=teal,2,300]Grrraa....I...will not FALL!! [/glow]
GaoGaiGar struggles to stand and manages to get one knee up. [glow=teal,2,300]GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! [/glow]
Genesic GaoGaiGar stands up fully. Sparks jump from all over his body. He flies at Cynder and brings his right knee up. [glow=teal,2,300]SPIRAL DRILL!!! [/glow] The drill on GaoGaiGar's knee spins rapidly and stabs it into Cynder's armor. The gigantic machine tries to force the drill further, but it slides off.
GaoGaiGar recovers and kicks Cynder in the face with his left foot. Cynder flies through the air and into a wall. [glow=TEAL,2,300]GENESIC ENERGY RAIN!!! [/glow] Multiple blasts of golden energy fly at Cynder. They slam into the dragon's body and explode violently.
GaoGaiGar stands firm and roars, [glow=teal,2,300]I SHALL NEVER FALL TO EVIL!!! [/glow]

Cynder's Inferno Breath was disrupted as she bounced off of the tethers. The dragoness shakes stars from her head, but glares at GaoGaiGar.
"Looks like your tougher then I expected, but my armor was specifically made to resist your Goldion Hammer! Unless you can manage to come up with something better then that, I won't fall so easily." Cynder growled, getting back to her feet. The dragoness roared, charging at GoaGaiGar. She managed to cut into GaoGaiGar's left arm with her wing blade, and something startling happened.
GaoGaiGar's arm was turning a tint of blue and purple! The machine started hearing voices in his head, trying to convince him to give up and accept assimilation. Cynder grinned, clawing the machine's face and spreading the infection. The voices grew louder in GaoGaiGar's mind as Cynder punched him away, denting his armor.
Solranous gasped when he realized this.
"Cynder's Tooth-and-Claw weaponry must have the ability to assimilate their targets, we have to fight from a range!" the dragon called, firing a Star Burst Flare at Cynder's head. The dragoness deftly dodged it, before returning fire with her Inferno Breath, which was also dodged. The dragon launched a telekinetic blast, damaging Cynder instantly as it flung her back, but it didn't do much to her.
"Is that all? You disappoint me." Cynder commented, getting back up.

Shive groaned, trying to rise, but only succeeded in twitching.
Sh*t. Well, I'm done for. This is what I get for not researching something before I go overboard and use it. He mentally sighed.
He laid there, cursing himself repeatedly. He glanced back over at Hakaisha, who was watching the others fight, her face like stone. He knew something was wrong, and was about to ask when she cut in,
You came here to save Kisara, didn't you? Why're you giving up so easily?
Shive scowled.
I can't exactly help if I can't move my limbs.
Hakaisha 'shrugged'.
True. She stated.
Shive stared at the serpent for a moment, squinting at her, focusing on something. Hakaisha noticed this and scowled, asking,
What?
Shive continued to stare at her, then his eyes narrowed.
Something's wrong with you. What is it?
Hakaisha scoffed.
Nothing's wrong. I'm just-
Sevra, I KNOW something's wrong. I know you better than that. Shive interjected.
Hakaisha looked shocked. He called her by her original name! She bit her lip, fangs poking out. She started shuddering as she turned her face way from him. Now Shive seemed shocked.
What is it? He asked.
*****
"I think I'll take over for the brown meatbag for now." A familiar mechanical voice boomed.
Something lanced into Cynder's side, not breaking the armor, but it dug deep enough to surprise her. The others turned to see...
O'Malley?!
It looked just like the droid, but... he was composed out of what looked like aparoid parts, his body varying mixes of purple, gray and blue. His eye was still red though. On each wrist were two beetle-aparoid's blasters, and on each shoulder was a mortar aparoid's cannons. He still retained his xenomorph tail somewhat, but the blade was a beetle aparoid's forleg, sharpened. He glared at Cynder before melding into the floor, popping out of the wall behind her. He fired several laser blasts into her eyes before melding back in and re-appearing next to Solranous.

GaoGaiGar looks up in surprise. [glow=teal,2,300]O...Mally? Is that you? [/glow] He hears the voices of Aparoids in his head.
[glow=teal,2,300]GAAAAAAAA!! I REFUSE TO FALL!! [/glow] GaoGaiGar's lion head glows with bright golden power. [glow=teal,2,300]HA!! GENESIC LION BLASTER!! [/glow]
The blast slams into Cynder's body and she flies into the air. [glow=teal,2,300]BROKEN MAGNUM!! [/glow] GaoGaiGar's fist punches straight into Cynder's chest. Cynder gives out a cry of pain and GaoGaiGar's fist returns.
I...have to end this...quickly!!

Cynder roared furiously, standing up again, her eyes bloodshot now.
"No matter how much help you get, it won't stop me!" With speed decieving her size, Cynder charged at O'Malley and Solranous. The dragon Shinigami responded by firing a new Star Burst Flare, but Cynder deflected this with her armor. Solranous then tries to jump out of the way, only to be stopped when Cynder changes course, dashing past him in the direction he was going to jump.
The dragoness pivoted, coming at O'Malley from behind. Her maw brimmed with fire, and she charred O'Malley's upper body with her Inferno Breath, before using a wing to knock him away. She tried to swipe Solranous with her claw, but the dragon deflects it with his shield...
Only to roar in pain as Cynder's tail blade embedded itself in his ankle, infecting him. Almost immiediatly, he is forced to fight off the invasion of his mind. As she removed her tail blade, Solranous jumped back, trying to get out of melee range and attack from affar. The dragon lets loose with Spirit Rockets, but the Aparoid invasion of his mind threw the attack off course, harmlessly streaking away from the battlefield.
"damn it... I can't... give up..." Solranous growled, firing another Spirit Rocket salvo. These strike, causing Cynder to cry out in pain. The dragoness fired her Inferno Breath, which Solranous managed to avoid.
This was only a distraction for Cynder to get close enough, cutting into Solranous' shoulder, further infecting him. The Aparoid invasion is stronger now, making it harder for him to focus. The dragon is swatted away as Cynder glares at GaoGaiGar.
"Managing to resist, huh? Well, that's to be expected. I haven't cut into you enough for the Aparoids to be able to take you over." she growled, the turned to O'Malley.
"But you, you are a pest that I will have to get rid of." Cynder's mouth started to glow purple as needle thin blasts escape it, piercing O'Malley's arm. These do more then just pierce though, they turned O'Malley's arm to stone!
(OOC: Unspecified ability number 1: Convexity Blast: A rain of needle thin 'beams' from Cynder's maw that can penetrate any substance and turn it to stone.)
The dragoness cackled, whipping her tail to break the now stone arm of O'Malley, shattering it easily. Cynder backhanded the droid away, and then bombarded him with her foreleg cannons, before turning back to GaoGaiGar.
"You're next..." Cynder growled, launching her inferno breath at the machine.
(OOC: Slash Tallies again:
Solranous: 2
Shive: 0
GaoGaiGar: 2
O'Malley: Immune to Assimilation)

O'Malley laughed as he shoved the stump that was his arm into the ground, then pulled it out to reveal a brand new arm.
"The nanobot is an amazing creation. They work much like aparoids, but there is no Queen... just a single creator. It was nanobots that allowed me to help GaoGaiGar take down Teufel, and it's nanobots combined with aparoid technology that allows me to be here now. Without any reprocussions."
O'Malley smirked, due to the fact the biomechanical flesh was felxible. And when something that looks like that smirks... it can give someone the willies.
"Wanna know something else? I can do this!"
He melded into the wall, only to emerge from...
Cynder's back?!
He laughed as he started firing non-stop energy blasts into the back of her head.
"And another thing!"
He punched himself in the face, which merely regenerated. However, Cynder did the same thing, except it didn't regenerate.
"And you thought you were a puppet before..." O'Malley scoffed, grinning sickly.
He stabbed himself in the chest, making Cynder do the same.
"And the best part is: I can't be killed here! My artificial intelligence brain is on Earth, with Grimlock! I'm just controlling the nanobots remotely. And as long as there's aparoid technology around, I CAN RGENERATE COMPLETELY!"
He glanced at her back-mounted mortars and smirked.
"Now, how would you feel by getting hit by one of those?"
Cynder's mortar cannon suddenly aimed directly at the back of her head, and O'Malley cackled. The cannons fired two mortars directly into the back of her skull as O'Malley melded back into her, appearing on her underside. He then appeared on the back of her head, shouting,
"SHOOT ME NOW! I DARE YOU!"
*****
Hakaisha/Sevra slowly turned back to Shive, her eyes watering over.
I... I don't know how to explain this, but... She started.
Shive's eyes widened, then softened, but the rest of his face hardened.
You still... feel for me, don't you? He asked.
Hakaisha closed her eyes tightly, tears dribbling down her draconic cheeks. She slowly nodded, and Shive sighed.
I finally get to be back with you, but I can't do anything! I'm just a goddamn sword! Do you know how hard it is for me to see you with Myrr? It's-it's heartwrenching! I know I told you to move on, but now that I'm back with you, I... I can't take it!

Genesic GaoGaiGar looks up. O'Mally was using nanobots? Clever...
GaoGaiGar flies towards Cynder and breaks off a small part of the nanobots and throws it to Solranous. [glow=teal,2,300] CATCH!! Don't drop him!! [/glow]
GaoGaiGar turns back to Cynder. [glow=teal,2,300] YOU'RE FINISHED CYNDER!!! [/glow]
GaoGaiGar's tail then broke off into three segments. [glow=teal,2,300] HA! YOU THOUGHT MY GOLDION HAMMER WAS MY STRONGEST WEAPON?? [/glow] GaoGaiGar bellows at the Aparoid Cynder. [glow=teal,2,300]NOW FOR YOU TO MEET...MY TRUE STRONGEST WEAPON!! [/glow]
The segments fused GaoGaiGar's hands and he holds them out.
[glow=teal,2,300]GENESIC HELL AND HEAVEN!! [/glow]
GaoGaiGar's right hand then burst with red Hellish energy and his left glowed with white Heavenly energy. He began to put his two hands together and chanted:
[glow=Teal,2,300]Gemu Giru Gan Go Gufo, Vitas!!![/glow]
GaoGaiGar's hands were fully put together and a spiralling vortex appears around Cynder and him. Cynder's body began to compress thanks to the powers of the two godly energies combined together.
GaoGaiGar then flies at Cynder, his hands together. He burst through the Aparoid armor on Cynder's chest and punches through her chest. Blood sprays through the air and GaoGaiGar rips a "core" of Cynder out. Cynder falls to the ground and twitches, drool and blood dripping from her mouth. GaoGaiGar steps out of the smoke and crushes the core in his hand.
GaoGaiGar then emites steam from the sides of his mouth. [glow=teal,2,300]I have given you another chance Cynder. Don't screw up this time.[/glow]

(OOC: Fred, Cynder isn't an Aparoid, only wearing aparoid armor. Hence, no core memory)
"No, You need to work on your aim." something said, something familar, GaoGaiGar looked up, where the voice had come from... And almost didn't believe what he was seeing.
Cynder, damaged but still alive, hovering in mid air. By some inconcievable possibilty, the dragoness had survived an attack nothing else could.
(OOC: Unspecified ability 2: Portal of Convexity: Cynder can open a portal into a realm in another dimension, effecitively 'teleporting.' This can evade nigh any attack, and heals Cynder partially, even after being at death's doorstep, though she can't use it very often)
Cynder chuckled darkly.
"I must admit, you almost did kill me, but as they say sometimes, 'If you don't see a body, the person may not be dead.'"
Solranous, who had indeed caught the piece of nanobots that was broken off, balked.
"How? How did she survive an attack of that magnitude!? I have doubts that even Armageddon could survive that!"
Cynder stared at the dragon, saying, "You'll never know." She returned her sight to GaoGaiGar, spewing her Convexity Blast at his chest, turning it to stone.
"No, it is you who is finished." the dragoness concluded, still in the air.

((That "core" wasn't an Aparoid core. It was basically a physical manifestation of Cynder's soul...))
GaoGaiGar was stunned. [glow=teal,2,300]H-how...is that possible...I ripped part f your soul out!! [/glow].
His chest was heavy. GaoGaiGar fell to one knee. [glow=teal,2,300]N-no...not like..this...I refuse to give up.. [/glow]
He tries to stand on his feet...but fails. [glow=teal,2,300] No! NO!! I REFUSE TO DIE!! [/glow]
He looks up to the still alive Cynder. He can't lose now...not now....
GETTER BEAM!!!
A green blast of energy smacks into Cynder's back and she falls to the ground. The hovering warrior pulls out a huge sycthe like weapon.
"I'VE FAILED YOU BEFORE KING OF BRAVES!! I WON'T FAIL AGAIN!!" the being boomed. It was Shin Getter Robo, bursting with Getter Rays.
