Cricket kinda knew that deep down."T

. . . was he saying something? 

9 minutes ago, Ookla the Irreplaceable said:

"Tam! No!" he shouted, struggling out of Love's grip.

"Cricket, it's fine!" she shouted back.

No I tried to delete it but forgot

He swore quietly.

“Look up?” He asked the letters, then did so. 

“Rax, rax, rax,” Bat swore. “Give me a gun or something,” he whispered. “Something powerful, maybe enchanted so it won’t miss Love or something.”

Above the pavilion, Bat saw a metallic orb hovering in the air, projecting the Enulling field. "Braac achin" the golden letters spelled.

She nodded and walked around the perimeter of the Nullifying field.

"Why do you want me, too?" she cried as she walked, stalling and trying to draw Malevolence's attention away from Bat. "I thought the hunters only wanted Cricket!"

Bat, get ready. Be subtle about it, though.

"I do as my master commands!" Malevolence called back. "And I assure you that he has not commanded me to kill either of you. I am allowed to kill Cricket if he resists, but my orders are to take you both alive if possible."

2 hours ago, Ookla the Irreplaceable said:

"Tam! No!" he shouted, struggling out of Love's grip.

Malevolence laughed, tossing Cricket to the ground "I've always wondered why you heroes bother having hearts. It makes you so easy to manipulate."

Cricket leapt snarling and seized Malevolence by the throat, hurtling him down. “I’m. Tired. Of. Being. Protected!” he roared, seizing a stone and slamming it down at Malevolence.

The rock slammed down on Malevolence's face and cracked. "If it bothers you so much, perhaps you should consider becoming powerful enough to protect yourself?" He slammed his head towards Cricket's face in a headbutt.

Cricket grabbed his neck, slamming it back down.

He stared at it, then made a snap decision and shot it with the invisible gun.

Malevolence let him, and didn't even flinch. "Come now. Is this all you've got? I haven't even had to activate my full-body nano-armor, or use my atomic bladewires! I'd hoped to gain some valuable fighting experience against you, but it appears you're basically unskilled."

The bullet bounced off an energy shield. "Nullat. Brak." The letters spelled.

A metal helmet grew over Malevolence's face, causing Cricket's attack to do little besides hurting his fist.

He hammered on the helmet till his fist bled, until hands pulled him off Love. "You'll only get yourself killed." the voice said, and Cricket realized it was Julian, Tempest's soon-to-be husband.

"I'm afraid it matters very little." Malevolence stood, dusting off his unrumpled suit. "I'll kill him no matter what he does, you see."

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Bat, Tam hissed.

Shoot him in the chest.

SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP! Cricket screamed to himself, breaking free and sprinting forward. Something broke inside him, and power flowed within him. Enulling power. He had somehow broken through Love's Enulling. He glowed with black energy, and slammed a blast of it at Love.

Malevolence? Desolation stirred from the corner of the closet of things from years ago.

Rebus’s attention is instantly acquired. He’d heard of this being, but knew little. 
Of course, because he has clones, he keeps doing other things as well. One of them is to look for someone who knows how to find Plotblades.

Desolation is real old tbh

 

Desolation pooled into black ink, because he was quite unfamiliar with how he should be moving, and approached Rebus.

It only takes the mention of ink to remember who Desolation is, though his Author does not know everything. Rebus carefully sends his Narrative power to his other clones, then smiles. “Hello, Desolation. What brings you here?”

"Foreshadowing has brought me here, of course." Desolation formed an smile on an inky finger. A Narrator? Surely one would not be as foolish as to believe that a Narrator would just walk right up to him

“Mine, or another’s? I am a Narrator, though I am not.” He smiles back at the puddle, deciding to prompt his Author point out his utility fog and teleporter before combat potentially begins.

Desolation laughed. He had killed* Narrators before. "My wonderful blade, Foreshadowing." It manifested in Desolation's hand. "Of course, it's quite the powerful tool."

*Technically not but Desolation is a bit of a egotistical one.

Bat was confused and nervous, but he did so. He shot Malevolence in the chest. @NameIess

Rebus smiles. “Alright, let’s make this thing! We can nail down the details with retcons if needed.” 
@SpiritOfWrath, because you’re there too. 

The Scribe nodded, and then began adding the layers of security and accessibility onto Parasite, and then, for added measures, buried it even deeper within the ground.

He then formed an office, much larger on the inside, placing it in the spot allotted to him. The back of it was the Control, an interface directly linked to Parasite that required his use and a Founder’s (Rebus/Ladybug) attendance.

“I’m finished on my side, then. I made a basic interface, feel free to give critique.”

The Enulling field dissipated Cricket's blast before it could hit Malevolence. "How are you doing that?" Malevolence asked. "No matter. I'll review the data to find out how to prevent this later." He pointed the shotgun spear at Cricket and opened fire, spraying a wall of metal towards the fledgling Enuller.

A metal shield sprouted from Malevolence's suit to block the bullet.

The thread trembled around Rebus. Run. it seemed to whisper. Flee before it is too late.
