>>6036367What's happened has happened. More than one person voted for B regardless.
Once more, I am sorry for the delay. Haven't been feeling great today, but I don't want to put this off twice in a row. So while brief, we're back.
>>6034890So, with all these things laid out, you think over who might be the best group to work with at this point. And… honestly, the supporting members are probably the ones you should be working with the most. Chiaotzu’s new Time Slip ability and his improved skills with telekinesis is a potent combo already, so imagine what he could do with some of your help. And Hearts is absolutely right, with Sala and Hado backing him up, they could turn the tide of battle dramatically. So… how would you best work with them?
…Oh, oh you’ve got a GREAT idea. Pulling a page from Sachie’s book, you go for multi-form again, but once more work on an elemental variant to it! Shadow Magic! And just a bit more Magic Materialization to go with it. Now, what did Sachie say her dad called it…? Ah yes! “Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!” Haha, true Shadow Clones! You send each of the copies towards them, allowing them to get a feel for how such a technique works, and what it could be capable of. Striking them still feels physical enough, but it’s going to slow down a foe that dissipates them, and of course, you can just direct them to rush someone.
Hado tries a shot at this… and it very much does not go the way he wanted it to, with his attempt at making a Shadow Clone just results in a vaguely Hado-shaped blob of darkness. If he launches it at someone, it’ll certainly have a dramatic effect, but… yeah it’s not convincing anyone that it’s a copy of him. He’ll need a lot more work to get something like what you’ve been able to pull off. Still, it’s at least a starting point for him. He might be able to figure something out with it with enough training.
Now is the more pressing issue, actually devising a proper strategy against these foes. And the thing that you figure might need focus on is proper battlefield control. It’s highly likely that these Archons will have some kind of home field advantage, or at least have some way to bring it about, so doing what you can to minimize such a thing will prove paramount. You and everyone else go over the three that Hearts mentioned with him, the known strengths, weaknesses, fighting styles, and where exactly they’ll be fought.
