    Even in the face of such attacks, Alt Ishtar continued to get up, unhurt. This time, a small fleck of blood was the only thing Etrina and Ishtar had to show for their effort. Sarada gritted her teeth. She knew that she wasn't going to do much better.

    This isn't working, she grumbled to herself. There was only one way they stood a chance against Ishtar, and that was if she could go Super Saiyan. With her Ishtar by her side again, she would be much more powerful in the form than she was at the tournament.

    The only problem was trying to trigger the transformation. She had only done it once, and she already knew it came from a need, not a desire, at first.

    I gotta try.

    While Sasheem launched his own attack, Sarada balled her fists and gritted her teeth. In her mind, she visualized Alt Ishtar killing everyone she loved and cared about. Parsley, Ishtar, Erosa, Zaofan, Jack, Totoma, Charco, everyone she held dear died by the Ruination Goddess' hands. With that visual in her head, she played it over and over again, hoping that was enough to transform.

    The spears sail past, but with a quick flick of her wrist Etrina adjusts their trajectory mid flight.....sailing around to come at the counterfeit Ishtar from rear angles. If she can pierce her with one of them....she can dissolve it into icey powder of sharp ice crystals and send it flooding into her veins, blocking and cutting as they go.

    Wonderful.

    Thus far, she hadn't been detected yet. She had to use that to her advantage. Keep her power low, stay hidden, and creep her way to the nexus without getting caught. With that in mind, she had an idea. She looked up at the ceiling and looked for anything resembling a ventilation shaft. Should she find one, she would climb inside and travel through the ship that way.





    Perfect. Cyanna, along with Erosa, would make the perfect distractions while she completed the mission. "If you want to help, help Erosa create a distraction. Lead the forces to another part of the ship until I finish," she told the young Chromakai. "And stay out of their way when you do."
    "Um, okay." Cyanna stood up. Using Ghosting, she sent out visible, yet intangible copies of herself all over the ship except where Parsley was. Looking through their eyes, when she saw someone from the ship's crew she used Voice Projection to call out to them, much like a Ventriloquist.

    Still invisible, she took off herself, but let her Spirit Forms do all the work.

    He nodded, "Show me what you can do, Deputy."

    With that said, Charco extended his influence out, still trying to mimic Penhuoqi's perfected technique. He would try to isolate the volatile portions of the Thyreophora and separate them into their own constructs. Despite his theory, nothing of the sorts seemed to happen at the moment, forcing him back into an aggressive mindset as he sought to use his time wisely.

    Firing off several blasts into the obscuring mists, he listened to their impacts, hoping to hear some telltale sounds that Marduk was near.

    Each hand on each arm, sprouted the Bear's Claws and began to jab at the Oni, injecting her with Venomous Ki. Two hands remained with Sasheem, who was using them to....dig up some clumps of dirt for some reason.
    He misses because Ishtar and her alternate just vanished.

Normally, her most powerful blow at least did more than draw a bit of blood. Though that in itself, was something.

    "Let us see ..."

    Teleporting once more, Ishtar reappeared above her alternate self and brought her fists down overhead with the same attack as before ... in a bid to slam her down into the planet's surface.
    Only to have it caught.

    The Goddess smirks.

    “Let’s you and I have a talk.”

    And the two vanish.

    Ishtar finds herself on her knees in an icy room, and about 100feet away is the Goddess upon a silver and blue throne.

    As Cyanna moves with stealth through the ship, pausing every so often when one of her ghosts need an assist, she keeps her eyes, ears and senses open for anything that might prove useful...or dangerous.

    Parsley sighed. Her planned died before it had a chance to live. Very well. Looks like it's the long way. Those two had better do as I told them.

    She pulled the Nexus out and started running down a random hallway. She ducked out of sight every so often to avoid detection.

    Then, she felt Sarada's power spike to previously unheard of heights. ...she must have gone Super Saiyan. Are things that bad?

    Tch. To make matters worse, she was nearly twice as strong as Parsley. It was that stupid bond she had with Ishtar. Focus, Parsley. Besides, jealousy is beneath you.

    Actually, this was good. If Sarada started making some noise, then anyone worth anything on the ship would go out to stop her, making retrieving the Nexus all the easier.

    Well, it was wishful thinking anyway.

    With the mists gone, Marduk is easily seen. His form is armored as opposed to his alternate at the Junjo marketplace. This one has a nasty scar across his throat and a book chained to his waste that emanates magic.

    He holds his left hand out, adsorbing the blasts, as his right points at Deputy Charco.

    “I will end you, reptile. Crush!”

    The Deputy grunts as gravity increases around him, but he snarls and starts powering up to overcome it.

    The ice spears stop in the empty space where Alt Ishtar had been, slowly rotating with question marks spontaneously popping in and out of existence above them.

    A short distance away, Etrina looks on with a deadpan expression.

    "....Ok."

    The crew is distracted, following Erosa and Cyanna’s distractions.

    Parsley can sneak throughout the place until she finds a large door, behind which the nexus resides.


    Meanwhile Sheriff Zaofan has engaged the crews of two of the other ships, keeping them off the group. Crimson lances of energy can be seen blasting and flashing in the distance.

    Ishtar finds herself on her knees in an icy room, and about 100feet away is the Goddess upon a silver and blue throne.

    “You can’t beat me.”
    In a flash, Ishtar finds herself in an icy throne room.

    On her knees, and with no one else around, the already bad situation had become much worse. Though in a way, the glowing-horn Oni had known going into this that it would hardly end pleasantly. A sentiment that seemed to show in her voice when she looked up and responded to her alternate self; perched already-triumphant upon her throne.

    "It is not ... likely, no."

    Ishtar struggled to her feet. "Yet and still, I have already committed to trying. You know as well as I do that means my path is set." Energy crackled between the Oni's palms then, and a massive torrent of electricity split the difference between them, as Ishtar attempted to knock her from the Throne.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    Exhilarating. Sarada's golden power was massive. It filled her every cell, every crack and every crevice inside her. Her golden crown rested atop her head, adorning her with the majesty and regalness and splendor the Queen of all Saiyans demanded. Her muscles were bulged and expanded, stretching her royal armor out and making her look more imposing that she was sure she did before.

    The Goddess of Ruination, the false Ishtar, was unaware of what she had done. The Super Saiyan was unleashed and --

    "Wait, where did she go?"

    She, and the real Isthar were both gone, disappeared in a flash of light. In their place was a stupefied Super Saiyan. Stupefied and incensed. "Coward," she snarled. "COWARD!!" In her anger, she fired a tremendous blasts at one of the ships, though not the one that Parsley and the others were on.

    She streaked into the air where all could see and hear her. "I transformed for a reason! Who wants to die first?!!"
