"Wait, where is he? How'd he do that? Where'd he go?" Darclight's sensors registered sitting in the big chair surrounded by monitors, a runic greataxe leaned against the chair and more turrets overhead to defend the central command: one teenage girl, somewhat enhanced, but entirely human. Well. She might have had a little banshee in her, since her girlish shriek at the sight of him could have woken the dead. Of course, a banshee wouldn't have fainted. Daughter, however, promptly did.<br/><br/>"Bother. Must We do everything Ourselves? Horseman! Take the wheel!"<br/><br/>Suddenly it was a one-on-one, as Sultana's controller (wherever she had holed up) merged with the dullahan's! The headless horseman battled Tabs; videogame-Sultana formed a spinning shield of blood while Abraham Lincoln bellowed, "nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character..." he charged up, growing three sizes that day and glowing with a presidential aura, "give! Him! Pooooweeeeeer!"<br/><br/>The real Sultana, meanwhile, dropped out of the shadows in the control room's ceiling like she was throwing off a coat. A bloody greatsword formed in her hands, and she held it at eye level and outward at Darclight in a guard position, defending the fainted technical human. "Very well! We will do you the honor of this duel!" she proclaimed.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>The bad guy was always at the top of the building! Kanina knew this. In a spectacular stroke of luck, after navigating only three flamethrower traps and a wall of spears, she found an elevator!<br/><br/>As it turned out, a very long elevator.<br/><br/>A positively glacial elevator. With no indicators as to the floor it was currently at.<br/><br/>If she had been able to properly calculate the rate of ascent, she would have estimated herself as currently being somewhere in the vicinity of Earth's moon, only she had barely moved at all.<br/><br/>If only she had some sort of crew of intergalactic badasses to have a conversation on said elevator, it might go quicker...<br/><br/>Wait! This was an elevator<em>trap</em>! She'd spend forty to eighty hours on this elevator if she let it!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Dullahan successfully defends his peeps against the Gibson, and powers up, creating an Asset of his own.<br/>Sofiya utterly fails to defend against Darc's attempts to scare her, and is Emotionally Stressed Out of the scene.<br/>Sultana employs Shadow Teleportation to come to the rescue.<br/><br/>Kanina is stuck in an elevator, and will take an extra turn to wind up engaging Sultana.
