FINAL TRIAL

"ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR STAY!!! :-)"

That's a message from Chirpy, as that group leaves the records room. Though really, there's not much time left; a fact impressed upon you regardless of whether you had a overly helpful bumbling robot or not.

Take some time to discuss what you've found and equip your new found loot in the open research lab. It's not a bad place for an impromptu meeting considering it's size.

Though sooner, rather than later, you'll need to head deeper still, to meet your two administrators, who surely know you're coming by now.

(( OOC: Welcome to Endgame! This is for all the bananas, so good luck! We'll give you 1 hour OOC to discuss your invest findings, and then it's onto the final confrontation. ))

Fair enough. Not like I'm as durable as I should be either, I think.

[ he hasn't exactly tried to test that out, and he's in no hurry to.

and yep! sure is, huh? the secrets behind his seemingly-neverending candy stash. what now, though... hm. ]

I mean... he's either running away, or he's coming back after regrouping. With bonuses.

Either way, we should probably get ready.

[solutionary]

Call it a professional curiosity. Where I'm from the manifestation is different, but the source is usually the same. Considering you and him both primarily use your hands, the question seemed relevant.

[Or similar enough, anyway. He's not getting into the gods versus allogenes talk here. The discussion would probably fall on unappreciative ears anyway.]

[handsheld]

There's a few types. But I got more than one quirk anyway.

[chosenwang]

[ the paper did mention 2a. as if there was something more! don't mind him listening in between everything happening ]

[allworknoplague]

[Between Waltaquin's skeletal warrior and WWX's sword blast, they manage to clear some of the spikes and also take down most of the metallic wall.

It looks like Overhaul has been using the time to start restoring some of his wounds, because while there are still missing arms, they look like they might be in the process of growing back. That being said, having sudden spike-to-spike warfare at this stage of the game isn't ideal, probably.

Overhaul leaps back, using his extra arms to balance, even as several more of them are injured by the spikes. He points, and the remnants of the metal wall explode. It's not a big blast, but it seems more meant for distraction than anything.]

I won't let you... I won't allow you to do this. I will leave this rock with the serum, and I will change everything even with all of you standing in my way.

All of you...

[Just for the sake of clarity, Overhaul started out with 5 pairs of arms, which have now been pared down to... let's see, 4 existing pairs, 2 of which are functional. The real question is: which are the ones you should be aiming for? It's probably a good idea to watch carefully.

Because he concentrates once again on putting a hand over the injured arms, presumably to finish the regeneration process.

That's when the taser shows up, momentarily freezing him in place.]

[plunges]

[ Xiao's had enough of this man, and he's about to lose his shit. And you know, what better way to express your anger than to pull out the flare gun and aim it right where it hurts!!!

A perfect end to the deez nuts saga. Ligma flare gun, asshole. ]

[townmusician]

[So, while Overhaul is being tased and shot in the dick(s?), Haruka is going to sidle back to Shigaraki because he's the only non-combatant left.]

Shigaraki-san...

What's up with all the shit stuck to him?

[Like Skywarp's cannon and all the other bodies in that mess...]

caliburn use

[diabolizes]

[ Wei Wuxian is going to use Caliburn to send another shockwave aimed at taking off one of his arms, potentially two if he can. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Since this is the last time, he's going to put power in the kunai. Time to gotta go fast again to throw them at where the arms are attached to his amalgamation of parts and dicks. Hoping it'll loosen or help remove some more arms! ]

(this is an actual reply but don't worry about it)

[plunges]

[ I forgot Xiao has Haruka's flare gun too, so you know what they say

BOFA DEEZ GUNS ]

[butcherspice]

Right in the knob! Fucking ace there, son!

[Invigorated by flare gun nutshots, Billy is going to use Caliburn's waves to try and lob off the arm Overhaul was moving towards the others to regenerate. Not today, fucker!]

[microtransactions]

[ your local mage is busy engaging in spike to spike warfare, but you know what since the taser happens and if that's not an obvious opening then nothing is

he's going to stop focusing on spikes and instead take a moment to warp to a good angle, sight down the very pink thing they'd found in the lab, and take aim at some of those hands they're trying to disable!

ligma crossbow, let's go. may merlin rejoice, wherever he is. ]

caliburn use

[divector]

[ without expression, moravia telekinetically uses caliburn to use shockwaves to target the healing arms.

half because she doesn't like overhaul, half because let's not use up their own energy for this. a whim. ]

[solutionary]

More than one? You say that like it's different to how Overhaul is using the powers--and bodies--of the vacationers.

[Nobody can use more than one Vision, but those are also not genetic.]

[handsheld]

...it's probably some of the bodies from the people here. [ Actually let him...he leans in a bit closer, tilts his head. ]

Yeah, that's definitely what it is.

[ Five long seconds pass. ]

You're gonna need those back, huh?

[dancing_flames]

[You know what, he's damn tired of explosions! While Billy goes for the arm Overhaul is trying to use to regenerate the others, Shuda is just going to dart in and try to use his sword to take off one of the other ones at the same time.

UP YOURS, SIR.]

[handsheld]

[ He laughs, it sounds different than his usual ones. ]

Yeah, my original quirk is decay. My master gave me All for One.

[townmusician]

The cannon wasn't enough of a giveaway so you needed a closer look?

[Hm.]

You got any idea on how we're going to manage that, Shigaraki-san?

[finalmix]

[ anyway since sync rate is up now and enough time has passed that the jesusbeam charge meter is up, even if his shoulder is still not fully healed

he's going to start with one of magolor's apple bombs as a distraction too, also he's aiming a targeted jesusbeam at overhaul's arm to try and shear that arm off but if it doesn't hit his arm and instead disintegrates something else that's fine too-- ]

[microtransactions]

[ IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE BUT I WANT TO KEEP TRACK ANYWAY used here ]

[handsheld]

[ He literally had given no thought to this because he's just like this smh. ]

As long as you don't completely disintegrate him, there's a machine downstairs that should do the trick.

1/????

[allworknoplague]

[You know, I'm just going to turn this into arm inventory day.

Not nut inventory day, because we're not chopping those off, even if there might be some of the lower half on fire or singed at this point. Nobody wants more balls rolling around here.

1. Wei Wuxian and Wang Lu can get a total of 3 arms. Happy Pride to the cultivators.

2. Magolor can pin one arm, though the crossbow doesn't take it entirely off.

3. Shuda can lop one off, I'm trying to keep count of the arms here sorry if we run out before the end.

4. Joshua manages to disintegrate the arm Magolor pinned...]

[townmusician]

[math.gif]

That machine any use to us right now? Like can we just cut out the middle man while he's still mostly together?

[handsheld]

Even if it was, which it ain't because his quirk could cancel it—I'm not letting you down into the admin level until he's dead. Then we get to speedrun everything we need to do before this island explodes.

So get ready to run.

cw: gore, suicide

[allworknoplague]

[There are three arms remaining.

One of which is almost severed, thanks to Billy's Caliburn -- the accursed sword from Merlin, which really is some kind of poetic justice, maybe -- so Overhaul uses the other two remaining arms to hold it up as he pants, his eyes wide and shot with blood, something unearthly in their depths.

He grinds out three words.]

I'll end this.

[And he lays that hand on his own head.

Just as the second Caliburn blast reaches, Overhaul disintegrates -- or rather, his head does, disappearing in a flare of its own, a firework of bits and pieces. Some of the remaining body does too, though it isn't enough to completely destroy the rest of him. And there are a lot of arms lying about.

The hand that ended everything -- at least for him -- plops down to the floor on its lonesome, rolling a couple of times before coming to a stop. It looks pretty charred, but it's nominally intact.

Overhaul is dead.]
