Astral Harmony will become famous soon enough. Eventually. Maybe.

"They...just...don't...listen!" the Dullahan growled, then directed his lance at Rem. "Attack, Dark Nation! Do not let a single one of them through!"

Beladere's Gravity Well Rocket utterly destroyed the primary target. The second Sentient Armor sunk his blade deep in the dirt in order to keep his footing and position, then kicked off of it to land on top of the southern dirt cliff near the Assassin Shade.

Beladere's Gravity Well had some major effects. A good portion of the northern dirt cliff collapsed into a steep climb that now anyone could climb. The northern Assassin Shade was sucked down. The northern Gastric Terror and Marionette were protected from the effects of the spell by use of their rooted and strung up principles, somehow.

Rudy's vampiric powers...had a strange effect on the two Duets, probably because of their magical nature. They were...doing that Caramelldansen dance, and despite the fact that they basically used the hands of a woman as feet and wielded a good-sized sword, they were damn good at it. All of the remaining enemies were converging on Rudy, spells and attacks charging. Radian managed to silence the northern Gastric Terror by Launching her giant lance, but one Gastric Terror, two Marionettes, and the remaining Assassin Shade were about the put the hurt on Rudy.

Even the Big Bertha was moving with him sighted as the first thing she would squish...until her head suddenly disappeared. The Dullahan turned sharply to see a sleek, sexy pink mecha, roughly twenty-five feet in height with a smoking armcannon and the name "Veronica" painted on the right leg. "Am I late for the party?"

"Who the hell is that!?" Radian demanded, getting ready to Launch her handaxe because Beladere's Gravity Well kept her from advancing forward or exiting the trench.
"Long story, I'll tell you later," Rem promised. "Right now, Rudy's in the some pretty deep shit."

The remaining Sentient Armor quickly summons a new sword for itself and gets ready to advance on Rudy.

SITREP Report: One Sentient Armor, one Assassin Shade, one Gastric Terror, and the Big Bertha are all destroyed.

Rudy is attacked and wounded by the Assassin Shade and Gastric Terror that remain. Rudy is currently being targeted by the southern Marionette charging her Gaian Crush spell. She needing time to charge the spell is about the only reason Rudy isn't in critical condition just yet. The northern Marionette, left all by itself, is targeting the pink mecha.

Rudy is notably injured but still able to maintain his Charm on the Duets. The only sources of healing are the Gastric Terrors and Duets (the only two enemy types that have blood) and his own allies on the other side of Beladere's Gravity Well. He can also sense a blood lifeform within the confines of that pink mecha, but that's the most impossible-to-reach source of blood anyone could ask for.

The Dullahan is now engaging the pink mecha. Good luck with that, buddy.

"Douglas, please use your turn to break concentration and circle around the north to the other side of Beladere's Gravity Well. And try not to drink anyone once you get here. We may all need our blood. Forcers, target the remaining Assassin Shade and Sentient Armor, probably the only two enemies that could chase Rudy to safety. Everyone else, draw back. We can use that well to keep the Duets from counterattacking anytime soon and we can deal with the rest of them piece by piece. Once the Sentient Armor, Assassin Shade, and Marionette targeting Rudy are all dead, Beladere drops the well and we smash the Duets, finally assisting our little friend in the TISMA with that Dullahan."

"TISMA?" Radian echoed. "Rem, do you know what the hell that thing is?"
"Yes, and I have a pretty good idea who's piloting it," Rem answered. "We'll do introductions later. Right now, I need that vampire out of danger. Nyam, I'm about to issue a Rem Command. Get ready."
Nyam clashed her metal claws together and purred with anticipation.
