*Emma "Wrrry's" triumphantly, and jumps off of Azmodan's corpse.*
*She looks around the room, spots Thoth, and charges him.*

---
*Jason watches the display, and forms his usual bio gun and blade.*
*Watches to see what happens.*

*Hanna hurries out of her room covering her mouth*

*She look like she's about to vomit*

*She runs behind Wade and taps his shoulder*

*Wade frowns*
DP: Just cause I said someone's name doesn't mean I wanted you to feth them. I could point out where in their rooms that they fethed, and what positions they used.
*turns around and looks down at Hanna*
DP: Something wrong?

*Nero's Devil Bringer cracks Duriel, and the demon figure slashes with his katana at the same time*
N: I'll take care of your brothers next.

*Kara swings a taloned hand at Maiev's axe wound, and gets hit with the dagger*
*opens her mouth to say something, but just stands there mute for a moment*
K: Shadowsong...
*Kara's knees give out and she just kneels there, staring blankly ahead*
K: You... you did it.

*Thoth frowns at Emma*
Thoth: The fight is over Assassin. Stand down
*Waves his hands to cast a Harry-Potter-style full body bind curse.*

*Iris sighs*
Iris: Wade that's quite enough.
*Iris sees Hanna and half stands up*
Iris: Hanna? Are you alright dear?

*Hanna goes to say something but instead of words a sizzling ball of acid falls out of her mouth*

*She coughs and splutters sending other little bits of acid onto the floor (It's strong ass stuff)*

*Her eyes open wide as she watches the acid eat away at the floor*

"Baking soda, top shelf on the left. It's basic, use it to counteract the acid" the voice quips from the counter.

*Wade looks down at the acid and snags the baking soda before dumping it on the acid*
DP: Alright Mr. Cactus Man, what's your angle? Cause every cactus I've talked to before this point was a prick. And Hanna, I'd lay off the Mexican food for now, it upsets your stomach.

*Iris's eyes go wide*
Iris: Hanna!
*She moves over to Hanna but is unsure what to do from there as Wade's already done the baking soda bit*
Iris: Hanna what happened?
*She looks at Wade*
Iris: What do you know about this? Anything?

*The potted cactus on the kitchen counter does not respond. Because it is a decorative houseplant and can't talk, obviously. That would be crazy.*

*Maiev probably gets shanked by the hand in the same moment she thrusted with the dagger*
*She also falls to her knees in front of Kara, and stares blankly at her, not that it's visible, cause helmet*
M: I did, didn't I?
*She then collapses into Kara*

~

*Duriel dies, and explodes in a bloody display of gore*
*His soul flies off*
*Azmodan just dies like a pussy ass bitch*
*His soul also flies off*
*The entire tower disappears underneath everyone's feet*

*Hanna looks at Iris and is slightly horrified at what just happened*

Hanna: W-water. Throat hurts!

*Wade shrugs*
DP: I know some stuff yeah, but is it really my place to talk about it? Kinda rude, dontcha think?
*draws his pistol and aims it at the cactus*
DP: Well, if it's just a regular cactus and can't talk, then I don't see why anybody would have a problem with me shooting it.

*The cactus continues to sit there acting cactus-y. The only remotely odd thing about it is that someone appears to have placed it on top of a book entitled "The World's Best Chimichangas: Recipes and Restaurant Guide." It honestly seems like a very strange thing to put underneath a perfectly normal cactus.*

*Emma collapses, and "Wrrry's" at being paralyzed.*
*Fights the curse like a G.*

---
*Jason watches the display, and sighs.*
*His chitin armor slowly disintegrates.*

*Iris quickly fills a glass with water and hands it to Hanna*


*Thoth blinks as the tower vanishes*
*I dunno how high up they are but if they're high up he uses the last of his power to create a cushion of air under the survivors so as to slow their fall*
Thoth: Stop fighting you idiot! Calm down! Oh curse the Imperium and their psychoactive drugs!

*Hanna guzzles down the water*

Hanna: T-thank y-you. *Cough*

*Kara looks down at Maiev and shudders*
K: Perhaps I'll kill you first.

*Nero heads over to Emma and raises his Devil Bringer*
N: Should I knock her out?

*Wade notices the book, grabs the cactus and tosses it aside before snagging the book*
DP: Feth the cactus, I've got me some chimichangas.

*Thoth nods*
Thoth: Please do. Our new ally can carry her.
*Horus is walking over towards them looking angry*
Horus: Thoth! What the FETH is going on!?


*Iris nods and kneels down to eye level with Hanna and looks her in the eye*
Iris: Are you alright? What was that?

*Through what can only be described as incredible luck, the cactus ends up landing right-side-up on the kitchen floor, despite having flipped at least twice in the air. It wobbles slightly after landing, but seems no worse for wear.*

*On the inside cover of "The World's Best Chimichangas," written in small, neat script is a note. It reads, "The closer you look, the less you see." The previous owner of the book must have been pretty weird, to say the least. Must be part of why they put it under a perfectly normal cactus.*

*Nero just sighs at seeing Horus*
N: How many birds are there?
*shrugs and swings at Emma's head with the Devil Bringer, not aiming to kill her obviously*

*Hanna looks up at Iris*

Hanna: I-I don't know...

*Fear is evident in her voice*

*Emma get her head cracked, and she goes silent.*

---
*Jason in one fluid motion brings up his bio guns,and fire right at her head.*
*His armor quickly reforms, and wings sprout once more from his back.*

*Iris is kneeling at face level and gently puts a hand on Hanna's shoulder*
Iris: Well, I'll help you find out, then help you beat it.
*She looks serious and compassionate*
Iris: I'll help you Hanna, I promise


*Thoth explains the basics to Horus*
Thoth: Then the tower vanished and you showed up.
*Horus sighs and nods*
Horus: Alright. Where is this base? Iris might be there...

*Nero nods and finally let's his Devil Trigger end*
N: Let's get out of here.

*Wade pockets the book and heads over to Hanna*
DP: Its just a little acid, not like that hurt anyone. Besides John Hurt, but we don't count him.

*Kara gets nailed in the back of the head with the bioplasma, and fade energy starts trying to heal the wound, but it's a losing fight*
*She twists her body around the face Jason and snarls, and with Kara's (actual Kara, not Lucy) last amount of control she forces the dagger into her side, and she slumps forwards*
K: ...I... Kadan...
*And with that, Kara's body turns into a black ash*
*the cave begins to rumble violently without Lusacan's power keeping the damaged ruins together*

*Hanna hugs Iris*

Hanna: T-thank you...

*Iris is a little surprised by the hug but returns it gently, smiling kindly*
Iris: Of course Hanna... Anything.

*Maiev's eyes started watering, then she just stops once Kara turns to ash, and is completely stunned for words*
M: K-Kara?..
*And with those words, Maiev fething loses it*
*The Avatar of Vengeance apparates behind Maiev as all of her hate and anger that she kept hidden for Kara explodes outwards violently*
*Any and all dead body turn into Aspects of Vengeance, and they all rush towards Jason*
*Maiev balls her eyes out with a piercing wail, and doesn't even give a feth the cavern is collapsing*
*The Avatar moves towards Jason with alarming speed, as there has never been an Avatar with as much rage and anger poured into it than this one*
*Some aspects block the exit of the cavern, and the rest swarm towards Jason*
*Maiev is just kneeling by the ash, and doesn't even feel herself anymore*

~

*Illidan feels the pure rage from miles away, and knows exactly what happened*
*He does not even dare to go near there*

~

*The tower was very high up, but it's all gone now*
*The entire citadel starts fading, but the entire room is rubble, with absolutely no semblance to what it was originally*

~

*Baal, Belial, Diablo and Mephisto all feel the explosion of emotions from Maiev, and they're all quite intrigued by it, and tbh somewhat scared*

*Hanna leans on Iris cus she's soft*

*Hanna ain't used to soft*

*If Calluna is on the planet, she wakes up screaming in pain from the intense emotion*


*Thoth senses something, but he has no idea what*
*He'd made a cushion of air anyways so the lads are all fine*
*Horus hoists Emma over his shoulder*
Horus: Let's go.
*Thoth tries and fails to stand*
Thoth: Ah... I supposed as much would happen... I am er... drained.
*Horus rolls his eyes and uncerimoniously tosses Thoth over his other shoulder*
*Thoth sighs and gives directions*


*Iris keeps smiling kindly and doesn't break the hug, allowing Hanna to lean on her as much as she wants*

*Jason body shifts into worm like shape, and burrows right through the ground under him.*
*He worms his way under the cave leaving bio bombs as he does this.*
*Makes his way to the entrance, and keeps burrowing.*

---
*Emma unconscious.*
