Aloisia Stauss has posed:
"PLASMABOLZEN!"
APPRIVOISE! GINGA KINGU SAMEKH!

Those cerulean flecks fall as a flash of emerald light explodes in the distance for the rapidly approaching Ginga Kingu, an island of reality coming into existence in the endless Nothing.

Flight towards it finds a small, unstable island, a knight standing vigil over a fallen form. This knight wears armor not entirely unlike Aloisia's, but bears only one shield, and has shocking red hair and green eyes -- not unlike the Pawn that had been fought before. Though she bears a shield, she bears it like it were a stabbing weapon, herself, the sharp spikes at the bottom of it pointed out at that infinite nothingness, that darkness trying to creep in on her little sanctuary.

"PLASMABOLZEN!"

As the darkness begins to encroach once more, that voice screams out once more, launching a sphere of emerald green energy out at that encroaching darkness, that explosion of plasma expanding and restoring that little island of Reality inside of the Nothing. It's stable, for now.

Though her armor is tarnished, though she looks exhausted, and the ever slightest edge of despiration is on her face, she still has a certain air about her, a reassuring energy that warms the heart and calms fears.

This is the Unstoppable SIster, she who never loses.

Sugata Shindo has posed:
The power rushes in, Samekh and Sugata's connection thrown wide by his own command, and Ginga Kingu takes on a far darker, more menacing appearance as the King Cybody's power is given leave to manifest - well, partially.

The ghost armor isn't the real thing, the towering, castle-on-a-mountain sized monstrosity, but it does mean that when Ginga Kingu Samekh flies towards the flash of emerald light in the sea of nothingness, it's in ghostly pitch-black armor and a bright gold-mask, searingly red eyes blazing from behind it.

He can't see Takuto, but if he can see the island, so can his boyfriend, so can the rest of them.

At least - that's what he thought.

Instead, he's found a knight holding vigil over a fallen form, pouring out her power to maintain a bubble of Something amidst Nothing.

"She looks like she's faltering," he says to the voice that echoes - he doesn't like that he can't tell if he's hearing it or feeling. Raising his voice, he calls, "Unstoppable Sister, have you found anyone else here?"

Aloisia Stauss has posed:
Now, let us go hand in hand
To a life that lies ahead.

In the back of Ginga Kingu's mind, quiet so as to not drown out one's thoughts or intrude too overmuch, a song of life and hope and the future and strength when fighting alongside friends and allies plays.

...It might drown out Samekh a little bit.
But only him.

"My, what an intimidating figure comes to fight by our side. One might think you were the foe." Speaks the mildly bemused voice of the Unstoppable Sister. "I have. Your friends are present -- though you cannot perceive them yet, in this Moment between Moments. You will see them shortly, I assure you." The Unstoppable Sister says, her shield lowered as she kneels down next to the fallen form, one hand gently resting on the face scribbled out by darkness of that fallen figure. Familiar and yet wholly unfamiliar. The Forgotten Princess.

"This is but a moment between moments, but we have a few moments regardless. Do you have any questions or needs, before we move on to defeat the King's End?"

There is a pause, then a bemused comment is added, with a soft chuckle. "You seem much calmer than your partner. He is quite full of energy."

Sugata Shindo has posed:
The song is a sweet one, life and hope and the future that awaits, the strength in fighting together with friends. Sugata has learned that strength, in coming to rely on Takuto and Wako, in partnering with the others, in joining his strength to theirs.

It's something a being like Samekh, who only seeks to conquer and consume, cannot fathom. He quiets, a tad, though he is still present in Sugata's mind, grumbling at the loss of Everything to a cause not his Appetite.

"Yes, I warned the others that if I took on this power I'd resemble a supervillain," Sugata says dryly, and doesn't quite alight beside the knight, but remains hovering near her, looking down at the fallen figure, losing itself to darkness. There's relief in his chest, but not his voice, not yet. "...Mostly, I needed to know that he was alright. Did he wear you out? He never knows when to quit."

He's quite proud of that, audibly.

"...Is there a way to help you, when this battle is done? You, and your companion? Aside from defeating this corruption, our goal is to restore the young woman who was captured by the Crown - but I don't see why we should settle if we can accomplish more."

Aloisia Stauss has posed:
"Hahaha. I am fine, yes. He actually kept things relatively short." The Unstoppable Sister does not comment on the supervillain part, she'd already said her little bit of teasing part regarding it. There wasn't much need to focus on it. "But yes. He is alright, and everything will be, once we defeat the King's End." Pause. Bemusedly, "To think, it failed to 'end' the Ginga Kingu." Another soft chuckle as she finally stands, there is a longer Moment at that question. She gives a soft exhale.

"The companion is the young woman -- what I could protect of her, at least. She is... well. She will survive. But she will likely need a lot of support in the days to come." That exhaustion straining that aura of invincibility just a moment as she thinks of that. But it nonetheless persists. "As for myself, this form is simply borrowed for this Moment, using the Emerald's power. Mine own form is the twisted shield of Konigsend. So in a way, I shall also need support. I will not remember this Moment when all is said and done, my core has been damaged too greatly by the strain, but that is alright." She holds her hand out towards Ginga Kingu, her fist closed as golden energy begins to eat at the edges of the island. She is absolutely intent on a fistbump. "It seems our moment is nearing its end. I shall see you on the other side, once this is done."

Sugata Shindo has posed:
"It wouldn't be the first to fail at that," though it is ironic. To think, he'd have his own attack turned against him... exhilarating.

He looks down at the girl with new eyes, taking in her battered form, half-consumed by darkness.

Support.

He's probably not lucky enough for that support to only be financial. No, more than likely, she would need the emotional sort as well... and Rashmi, he understands, is having her own problems too. Well, perhaps she'll enjoy kendo.

(Sugata will remember this. This could be a problem for Aloisia in the future.)

"We'll remember these moments," he says, and it's part promise, part reassurance. "Rashmi is quite good at putting devices back together, I'm told. You won't be twisted for long."

Perhaps he shouldn't make promises on another's behalf. He's doing it anyway.

"We'll see you on the other side. I look forward to a day when my sword can meet your shield in honest competition."

Aloisia Stauss has posed:
"I am sure it shall not be the last, either. Know that, in the future, it is likely you shall have the three sisters by your side when it happens. And likely not out of a sense of debt." The Unstoppable Sister stands, dipping into a half-bow.

"Hmhm! I look forward to it. Know that I shall give you no quarter in such a meeting of blade and shield!" And then that golden energy consumes, as that Moment ends, and they are sent off to that final battle.
