"Not sure, but I think it may have been done to help in the battle," he replied. "Anyway, you should rest. We'll continue this battle for you."
"Where's... where's Rave?" Maya asked, already out of breath. "Is that her out there, with the magic wolf?"
"That's gnarly, dude. Hey, find Selena, tell her to bring me that notebook of hers? I'm gonna just, like..." Maya suddenly fell asleep, her husband gently laying her down so she didn't fall and hit her head. Asmo sighed. "Guess it takes a few to bounce back from literally dying, huh?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Raven was still waiting on Apophis to make a move.
*With a small ripple, the feminine figure stepped into the bar.* ???: (speaking softly) Here. (Leaves Selena's notebook on the counter along with a small crystal.) The crystal will help Maya.
The wolf-thing was strong. Apophis could see that right away. But that was only because the pony controlling it was strong. A single mare. Powerful in her own way, but nothing compared to him. With a single bite to the neck, he destroyed the avatar. ********************************************************************** Nightshade ran up to Raven, the Discord cultists following behind. "Try that again. We'll pour our own energy into it. It might be enough to hurt him."
"On it!" She shredded harder, building her wolf back up again. ~~~~~~~ "You're not paying close attention, are you?" Asmo asked. He grabbed the nuke from he hind the counter and gave it to Dusty. "I'll keep her safe. You've got a battle." Dusty nodded, taking the bomb and leaving it near the ballistae. "Royal soldiers. Use this nuclear bomb when you're ready."
*A wireframe started to build out of the energy showing the shape of Rep's construct, a large version of his main manifestation but different somehow*
Raven, pumped, was taking charge of the situation around her. "Buuuuck yeah, Rep, that's metal! Blackened, grab your guitar, you gotta get in on this! Unicorns, send Blacky over there a little of your magic, he can use the music to make another big monster!"
Upon hearing Raven's voice, he saw a transparent v-shaped guitar slowly materialise in front of him. "Yes..." Grabbing the guitar, he dashed outside and quickly flew next to her. Strumming a chord, a transparent dragon began to appear from the headstock. "This is gonna be one f*yay!*ing metal battle...~!" he exclaimed.
"Yeah it is, now let's kick that thing's ass!" Raven sent her wolf charging at Apophis, swinging its massive sword at his face.
The dragon took a deep breath and blew what appeared to be blue flames from its mouth, directly towards Apophis.
*As the wireframe filled in, the skin of it wasn't like any skin, moreso a black void filled with bright spots, almost as though looking at the night sky.*
Maya had managed to wake up, drag herself and the magic notebook over to the nearest booth, sit up, and start sketching out what looked like blueprints for a suit of mechanical armor, taking up several pages." "Looks like something outta that comic," Asmo commented, eyeing the paper. "What is it, Iron Mare?" "Yep, that's the idea," Maya replied. "If this works, I can be back in the fight in no time, better than ever."
Apophis reared back to avoid the dragon's flames, the wolf's sword taking a chunk out of his neck as he did. Magma poured from the wound, cooling and hardening as it hit the shield. Massive spikes grew from his tail as he swung it at his attackers.
*The wireframe filled in almost completely, and the orb and foci that were Rep and the Foci of the Council began to move inside the head as it closed, giving a spark of life to the eyes as they completed, if looked into them, they were, akin to a supernova in a ball of glass. Great explosions of energy churned within them, and that was the "light in the eye" that the living had, that showed life within a physical body.*
