"Oh, shut it, all of you!" Andy snapped, weaving his Hand of Fate into what looks like a large ephemeral chainsaw. His eyes gave an eerie glow as a crazed grin stretched across his face. "It's time we got to the root of the problem..."
With little warning, he lunged the phantom chainsaw...into Zero! It phased right through him and into his spiritual composition, piercing into the heart of the problem, so to speak.

Zero yells out in pain as the slash hits.
"Not bad, boy..." said Judecca. "But it takes more than that to kill a Windigo!"
A gust of icy wind kicks up, trying to blow Andy back, but it's clear the chainsaw did some damage and disrupted the winds of hate.
"... Sorry," said Redcloak, the fireballs around her disappearing.

"... Sorry," said Redcloak, the fireballs around her disappearing.
"Nuh-uh...! You're gonna come out of there, and you're gonna beg for forgiveness!" Snagging the chainsaw into Judecca, Andy yanks it out of Zero.
Zero collapses into a heap as Judecca, a pale, mostly gaseous being resembling a horse, comes flying out.
"Ripping out a man's soul?" asked Judecca. "I barely needed to do ANYTHING to let your hate come out!"
"ZERO!" shouted Redcloak, running over to her fallen friend.
"Ripping out a man's soul?" asked Judecca. "I barely needed to do ANYTHING to let your hate come out!"
"ZERO!" shouted Redcloak, running over to her fallen friend.
Andy catches his breath. "Phew...I did not like that." He reaffirmed his focus on Judecca. "So you really are a Windigo...Y'know, I don't get why you have to go around spreading hate like that. It's uncalled for, if you ask me."
"Hate is what fuels this world!" said Judecca. "Hate is basic nature! It does not need to be understood! Only spread!"
Redcloak desperately checks Zero for a pulse.
Redcloak desperately checks Zero for a pulse.
"Yeah...maybe I'm just not in the loop or something, because I still don't get what's so wonderful about hate. I mean, sure, I don't approve of your methods, but I wouldn't get THAT extreme..."
"If you do not understand my worldview," said Judecca. "Then you waste time talking to me! While you try to figure out the why of my existence you let your friends' life slip away! Or didn't you realize that ripping out his soul would kill him?"
"Liar," said Redcloak.
"I beg your pardon?" asked Judecca.
"He has no pulse. He is not breathing." said Redcloak. "But I can still detect brainwave activity within him. He's not dead. If you intend to bluff your way out, you are out of cards."
Judecca is silent for a few seconds.
"Release me," begged Judecca. "I will never bother you again!"
"Liar," said Redcloak.
"I beg your pardon?" asked Judecca.

"..."
Slight skepticism on his face, Andy retracts his Hand of Fate from Judecca...but keeps it at the ready in case she welches out.

Judecca disperses into mist and slowly flies up the door... only to phase through it.
"Don't worry! I'll be back... with a hammer and a chisel!" laughed Judecca. "In the meantime, make yourselves comfortable, and try not to die of frostbite!"
"God DAMMIT!" shouted Alex.
Alex rushes up to the wall of ice and hacks away at it with his sword.
"GET! BACK! HERE! YOU! STUPID!" he shouted.
"You won't get through like that," said Redcloak.
Redcloak gets up and puts a hand fo Alex's forehead for a few seconds.
"Now try," she said, encouragingly.
Alex takes a deep breath before holding Bane skyward. It glows yellow with energy as he swings it at the wall of ice, cleaving through it and causing it to shatter into small pieces, falling on the ground.
"Go," said Redcloak, handing the piece of Doomsday over to Alex. "I will stay here and tend to the frozen."
SWORD GET!

Andy went over to Kaia, who was just recovering from Judecca's attack. "Hey, you alright? That thing just bailed." He offered a hand to help her up.
"Yeah...I'll be alright," Kaia replied, taking his hand and standing up. "So we got the first piece of one of his swords? I think that leaves eight more to - " However, Kaia suddenly felt a surge in her brain, making her fall back down on her knees, clutching her head in pain.
"(!!!) K-Kaia? W...What's happe - ?" Unfortunately, Andy felt a similar surge in his brain, making him clutch his head and reel back into the wall. "T...Tower...!"
"Bell Tower..." Kaia's eyes flashed a pale light. "The tower...is in pain...!"
Andy caught his breath as the pain VERY slowly subsided. "{pant} If that surge was...was that strong...that news must've been...really important...!"

It's right about now that Alex's reception comes back and. He reaches for his phone and picks it up.
"Patches, thank God," said Alex. "Quick, I need you to search for any sign of someone calling himself the god of wa-"
"No time for that, guv!" shouted Patches. "Bell Tower's under attack by a whole bunch 'a airships!"
"And... you expect me to take them all out?" asked Alex. "Me. Whose powers include having a sword. One sword and one piece of one."
"Come off it!" said Patches. "This world's gonna need all the help it can bloody well get, and you ain't helpin' a thing by moanin' about yer one sword! Now are you gonna 'elp or aren't ya?"
"... Well, in case you haven't noticed, I can't fly," said Alex.
"Not a worry," said Patches. "Help's on the way."
"Can that help get here and to the Bell Tower fast?" asked Alex.
A dragon suddenly crashed through the ceiling of the ice cave, landing next to the heroes and morphing into a pale-skinned humanoid with no shirt. Equally as quickly a blur ran into the cave, then stopped right next to Alex, revealing a velociraptor in a metallic suit. She's carrying what looks like a portable electric generator.
"That fast enough for ya?" asked Patches.
"Plenty fast," said Alex. "And... what's Duma holding?"
"Secret weapon," said Patches. "Doc would probably order it."
"Patches, thank God," said Alex. "Quick, I need you to search for any sign of someone calling himself the god of wa-"

"Hang on..." Kaia said. "Does...Does anyone else feel that?"
"(?) Feel what?" Andy asked.
Kaia felt like her pain was subsiding. As if...the world's pain was subsiding, rather.

"I cannot feel 'that' if I do not know what 'that' feels like," said Terrus.
"No... I feel it, too," said Redcloak.
"Patches," said Alex. "I was PREPARING to kick some butt."
"Well... you can still kick butt anywhere else, I suppose," said Patches. "'Sides, I got Duma and Terrus to ya, didn't I?"
"It's still kind of disappointing," muttered Alex.
"Well, sorry that saving the entire planet with the hopes and dreams of everyone on it disappoints you, guv."
"No... I feel it, too," said Redcloak.

"Ah, don't feel bad, Alex," Andy said. "What's done is done, right? And it's one less problem for us to worry about right now."
Meanwhile, Kaia was occupied with Duma, mostly concerned about her cybernetic augments. "Oh my...! Whatever happened to you?"
Lucas's voice was also heard on the other end. "And that's...that. ...Now then! The equations on the second scroll seem to pertain more to people than places. There's the Mars figure you mentioned before; as for the second, we believe it's most likely related to Duncan, Sir Ganymede's brother. We're still lost on the third, though..."

Duma looks down sadly.
"We don't like to talk about what happened to Duma," said Terrus.
"Not to mention that one we deciphered about the traitor..." said Patches.
"Wait, what?" asked Alex. "What's that one about?"
"Summat about 'order to purest chaos'. Know anyfin' about it?"
Alex sighed.
"Yeah," said Alex. "Daniel Xavier. Before your time. He used to be this big 'man-on-a-mission' out to kill everyone who wanted to destroy the world or something, and then... he found some Wheel of Fate artifact and went crazy. Now he can't make any decision without consulting it, no matter how crazy it would be. If it's talking about him, than he and the first piece of Entropy would be in the Old Chateau."
"While yer at it, any ideas about this Mars fella?" asked Patches.
"Look for anywhere that a whole bunch of people have been recently killing each other," said Alex. "He... he has that effect on people."
"We don't like to talk about what happened to Duma," said Terrus.

"Alright, searching..."
"The Old Chateau? Alright! I've always wanted to check that place out! Who knows what ghostly remnants it's got?" Andy said.
"Okay, but what about this Duncan figure? Where might he turn up at?" Kaia asked.
"Well, Chateau first. Then wherever this Duncan guy is," Andy replied.

"That's not good," said Patches on the other end.
"What?" asked Alex.
"Summat goin' down at YΕgan Volcano, guv," said Patches.
"Dammit!" shouted Alex. "We don't have anyone that can get there in time!"
Duma nuzzles up against Alex, who looks down at her and smiles.
"Unless... Duma, Terrus, you think you can get to the volcano?"
"Yes," said Terrus simply.
"... Can you do it, and will you?" clarified Alex.
"Absolutely."
"What?" asked Alex.

"Absolutely."
Andy and Kaia are currently waiting on Alex. The current path would be west into the Dry Dry Desert and up through Gritzy Junction, going into the Edge Wilds and proceeding north to the Emerald Forest.
