[ mugen says, a little dazed. life is already so goddamn weird. but hey, that means he gets to do his Final Attack, because this definitely smacks of boss. still bleeding from several places, mugen brings his sword up and aims it right at the largest bee at the head. ]
Finishing PaRumPaPumPum, motherfucker!
[ and he pictures being warm in front of a fire while he does it, for Extra Power. ]
[Xichen will find that his special attack is still cooling down - the drill will form and spin around, but the bee bats the drill away with one large hand. The bee only laughs when the morning star hits, apparently not taking much damage, and it swallows the jingle missile with loud chiming laughter.]
You're going to have to do much better than that! I am the Queen! Your Yuletide does nothing to me, fools!
[Mugen has a little more success. His special attack, given extra power by the warm and merry thoughts, fires. The Big Drummer Boy splits in half into two one-handed swords. Mugen will find he's able to slash at them in rapid succession, causing a drum pattern throughout the cavern which shoots a shock wave at the bee, blasting one of its arms to ribbons.]
Not bad. But still not enough.
[More bees begin to swarm in, creating a new arm for the Queen. What's your plan?]
[ at least mugen's attack seemed to work, even if the rest of theirs didn't. ]
I think we'll all have to attack at once so it can't regenerate. [ hopefully all their cooldowns will be done in time to make it that far though. xichen is ready to shoot at any little bees or attacks that come his way with the regular arrows. ]
[ At this point, Belial's dodging as much as he is attacking, his fragile mortal form proving not to be as indestructible as he would like.
He answers Xichen: ] That's probably it. But we'll need to wait for handsome to get it up again.
[ Since he did just fire off a big one. In the mean time, he focuses on thinking Merry Thoughts as he uses his own weapon, trying to stave off the worker bees. ]
Maybe we should hold hands when we do. I do miss that feeling.
[ Even though it's impossible since they have to hold their weapons. ]
[She grits her teeth as her attack seems not to do much damage, moving back quickly. She's holding the weapon defensively while she waits for it recharge, trying to think about something happy again. That being said, she's also going to try to smack away any of the smaller insects that get too close.]
sorry guys, mugen is losing his mind with how cool the two swords are. he really just wants to annihilate this big bee boss with his earthquake skills, but also his arm is feeling pretty weak here. he stumbles just a little when he straightens, and then: ]
If we're gonna all attack it at once we oughta do it soon. Count of three? Just put your back into it, think - happy thoughts, or whatever bull that guy said.
[ he'll move a bit closer to the rest of them. behind xichen and belial. they can be his meatshield while he recovers from being vaguely dizzy. ]
[You're doing amazing, sweeties. While they regroup, they successfully manage to stave off at least the smaller bees while the big Bee Queen regenerates her arms. But once she's done regenerating, she screams and starts spitting bee shaped missiles directly at them. When these explode, they release a large burst of dry ice.
It'll have to do. [ so, xichen steps closer to everyone, brushing shoulders with the team to see if they can all get side to side or ass to ass back to back. ]
[ This is such a collaborative effort, it's kind of sickening. Which is why Belial definitely puts his own flair on it, sticking out his butt intentionally to tendering touch the others.
But otherwise he's all business, batting away the bees with his finger on the trigger, ready to launch as soon as they count - ]
[Shoving him to the ground is probably not very merry, so she holds off even as she feels him touch her, even if her eyes narrow for a brief moment. As she holds up the morning star to get it ready, though:]
[ good luck with that, belial, mugen doesn't have a butt.
but he does absolutely go shoulder to shoulder with all of them, aiming the tip of his sword at the head of the ice bee. he gets punched in the face with dry ice, too, which really hurts, but whatever, it's fine. ]
Three!
[ are they all doing their special attack? mugen is. he yells the name of it, thinking his happy thoughts. ]
[The combined power of ass to ass immediately fills all of them with a powerful sense of warmth and jolliness. As they continue counting down, butts touching, all of them and their weapons will begin to glow with red and green light.
They will be able to use their special attacks, causing the Bee to scream and recoil, though she quickly turns and begins to try to attack them back, firing freezing cold lasers and sending swarms of bees at them. But the incredible warmth of their merriment creates a shield, blocking the worst of the blows.
They'll notice after firing their special attacks, their weapons continue to glow, and begin to float in the air on their own, circling the Bee. Almost as though they can keep going, but they require you to do something. . . more? All of you suddenly feel like what this moment really calls for is for you to cross your arms across your chests and give a speech.]
[ finally it looks like they're going to take this thing down and make it. it's probably the ridiculous weapons and this yule energy thing, but xichen feels ready to go and do this thing. ]
No matter what you try now, you will not be able to stop all of us. [ he holds up the tannenbomber, ready to fire it off. ] This ends here - Tidings of discomfort and pain!
[ The entire thing is so ridiculous, that Belial has to laugh even if he's facing death. He does cross one arm, the other still on his weapon, absolutely vibing with Yule energy around them. ]
That's right. We fought and clawed at each other [ did they? ] riled each other up, blood pumping before coming together as one. There's no stopping climax after that—
[All of their weapons discharge at one in a large red and green wave. The sound of Christmas carols plays in the air as you see the weapons release their Yule Particles, which laugh and sing. The Bee screams and breaks into pieces. Also, she drops loot!
It's. . . a book and a can of beans and a can of creamed corn. Yay?
Oh, also. Your weapons turn into. . . toys. Mugen gets a toy soldier with a drum, Endorsi gets a toy angel, Xichen gets a plush Christmas tree, and Belial gets a nerf gun. Yay?
The stairs lie before you, and you can walk up them and find yourselves back at the lodge. But before you go, a voice speaks to you - Professor Klauseron's voice? It's hard to say - it's taken a slightly more gravelly quality.]
