Familiar faces, friendly and unfriendly alike, Pandaemonium, Keeper, and Cats had arrived at the battlefield. It was an ultimate battle of destiny and Limen was really glad she was staying well away from it. Limen scanned the field from her window, watching the movements of the supers and trying to figure how she’d be of the most help. Despite sniper’s reputation for headshots, she was not expecting to be able to take anyone down herself today. No, she’d have to leave that to the big guns like Death Skittles and Cat Lord. She could, however, with a bit of luck and good aim, kill a couple of attacks. When she caught one particular familiar face and a friendly nod, Limen was struck both with deja vu and an idea. She grabbed her bow and a piece of paper. An arrow buried itself in the ground beside Sanduleak. Attached to its shaft was a hastily written note. “Hey Dukes, nice to see you again. Say, you want to help me keep these Keepers off Aurora’s back? I’ll have yours so give ‘em hell. Also tell Cat Lord I said hi and please point out where I am if he hasn’t seen me already. Cat mail is to arrows what email is to letters.
-Limen”

Gluttony watched as an arrow hit the ground. It seemed there was another enemy to fight, but one with the good sense to try and avoid being on the front line. If it weren't for the arrival of Arcanum, the large super likely would've lost hope. As it stood, he had his targets in his sights.
Bloodbath was an ally, even if he was on the other side. He wasn't one that Gluttony was willing to fight, so he'd leave him to Wrath and the truck. Aurora Disicio and the truck had their own personal business to attend to, so it was clear that they'd focus on each other; the magician also seemed otherwise focused on Aurora.
That left Gluttony to deal with the arrows, cats, and light show.
He didn't particularly care for facing off against the Panda that used light, as the two of them had worked together multiple times before, but their alliance only extended as far as their goals aligned. Today their goals were opposites, and Gluttony fully intended on winning. Besides him, though, the large super felt nothing for fighting the other enemies before him. They dared to stand in the way of him, and he was going to at least give them a fight worth remembering.

Sanduleak attempted to figure out the best course of action, well it was more who he reeeeeeeeeally didn't want to fight at this moment. At the moment it appeared the enemy had that large non stop eater, the T-1000, small girl on fire, and Dullahan....It was actually surprisingly simple, he wanted to stay away from the large mother trucker and destroy the T-1000. With a small nod of satisfaction at his plan, he quickly took a step back when he saw fly out of the corner of his eye, and read the message attached. He actually chuckled a bit, good ol' Limen perfect for making any situation stupidly less serious. He gave a thumbs up in response before releasing a small flash to create a message in the air next to the catomancer.
"Hey man we got ranged support from the queen o' arrows and hyperactivity herself, think we can take on the Terminator and Kirby? Also she says hi and is residing on the roof a little to your left."

Of all the annoying bastards to get stuck with, of course, she ended up against Sanduleak. The universe never ceased to find new ways of being annoying. Arcanum had come up with so many nicknames for the guy, it wasn't even worth using them. It was just so boring by now. Clearly, their eternal rivalry wouldn't stop until she finally bothered to kill him. . . which would not happen. For all she knew, it might teach others that murder is the solution to everything, even the most minor of annoyances.
So she looked forward to dealing with his bullshit once again, almost wondering if she should even bother to do anything significant here. Gluttony was literally a bigger target who appeared to be a much larger threat, but again, this was Pandaemonium. The day they become intelligent is the day a dragon slams into the city like a nuclear bomb.
With a shake of her head, Arcanum set out to do something more useful than complain all day. If this was important enough for her to show up personally, she still had to do her best despite the odds of failure. Anything worth doing should be done properly.

The cat army shifted and rearranged itself, waiting for the right moment to strike. Villains were coming out of the woodwork everywhere, each with their own stake in this vital conflict, but they hadn't yet openly engaged, and Big Martin was in no hurry to attack early on. Better to let the opposing side think for a moment, give them time to judge the strength of their enemy, and realize that they could not win.
The sign that conflict was about to begin came sooner than expected, however, and in a particularly flashy manner. A thousand feline eyes gazed upon the words written in light, each one conveying what they saw to the leader hidden deep within their horde, who reacted to the news with confusion.
Terminator and... what the fuck is a Kirby? Is this a joke? He should've known better that to expect Pandaemonium to display any tactical acuity. Still, at least they were making some effort to communicate, so he might as well return the favor. Blue team, you head over to Lights Guy and tell him to shut up and take the high ground, make sure nobody flanks Aurora. Orange team, find Limen and ask her to try and pin the Keepers down, so we can catch them easier. He doubted any elaborate strategies would work with such unpredictable allies, better to just press their advantage. Aurora's allies had both the numbers and the powers to win the day with ease, and an all-out assault would probably suffice to get the job done. The Pandas weren't going to wait anymore, which meant it was time for his own legions to get moving as well.
Two small groups of cats dashed off towards their targets, while the rest of the horde rushed forwards, converging on the two unfortunate villains who were trying to interfere with the Pandaemonium revolution. Hopefully Big Martin's presence alone would be enough to convince them to retreat, but if not, he'd brought more than enough cats to simply wipe them off the field!

A splash of color made it past the armed guard, hitting Arcanum right on her forehead. One of the clones turned to give her a better view of the damage, if any, that had been caused. From what she could tell it was just normal paint. Maybe the thing was supposed to have a different effect on actual people and her relative inhumanity saved her from any negative side effects. There'd be time to figure that out later, if she wanted. For now, she stored a sample inside herself, as it was a nice color to look at.
Arcanum took a quick glance across the battlefield before turning back to her collection of clones. "Ace, you mind?"
"On it, boss." One of the short-haired girls nodded in response and split off from the group. Swords 2 and 3 followed along as the trio morphed back into a liquid and slid across the ground. A certain someone needed to be dealt with quickly, but they didn't all need to go over there. . .

Cats were always a welcome sight, but the cats who had found her were, in particular, pretty great. She gave them a quick smile and wave before turning back to her scope. Sanduleak was no longer the only one on the field - counting the cats, he was one of a few hundred, it seemed - but he was still the only person directly present, and so he was a fairly large target. She watched her own target, the woman with many faces, in case she turned her target to her friend. Instead, there seemed to be some force-splitting on her end as well. She considered the cats Cat Lord had sent, and she considered the fairly threatening girls with weapons splitting off from the group. Limen leaned in towards her pile of stuff and snatched her bow, quiver, and one of each of her standard bomb types. Just in case this battle wasn’t going to stay ranged.
“Hey cats, you guys seeing the one person army? Think they’re coming our way or towards Cat Lord? By the way, if I throw this one,” she held up the flash grenade, “close your eyes and run. It’s really loud and really bright, but it might buy us an exit.”
Either way, Limen had a multitude of weapons and, considering the seemingly horcruxical nature of the super, not a lot of fear for headshots.

Sanduleak looked down to see a small army around his legs and one of them tell to get above the enemy...talking cats, why was Sanduleak not surprised. He would've let out a chuckle were it not for the massive fist about to collide with his helmeted face.
"OH SHI-"
With that yelp he tripped backwards onto a plate of light and hovered off into the air, it was either his intervention or a miracle that that the fist didn't have him seeing stars. Heh stars, Limen would freaking love that one. Taking a moment to get his bearings, Sanduleak stood up and wagged a finger at the Sin.
"Sorry mate, nothing's faster than light."
He acted cocky but that was mostly to annoy the enemies and draw the fire to him, in all honesty Gluttony was actually a fairly scary opponent and Arcanum, although annoying, was terrifying. He had to be careful or he could actually get hurt. They also had to finish this fast before the final boss could get here, Moshman would really tip the scales in their favor.

With Gluttony focused on Sanduleak, there was little to stop the cats from closing in on the hulking Keeper to force him into place, leaving him wide open to a counterattack from Sanduleak, provided the light-bender could stop quipping long enough to take advantage of it. One of the cats near him gave a yell of encouragement. "Go, shiny panda! Send them fleeing like the dogs that they are!"
The team assigned to Limen, meanwhile, peered confusedly at the flash grenade. One of them piped up. "Bright and loud..." It quailed. "A f-f-firework?" The comment earned it a paw bopping from one of its comrades. "No, you mouse-brained coward! A grenade. Like those horrible paint things she threw at us." It glared up at the young woman. "Someday, human, I will scratch you for that!"
Big Martin, meanwhile, had caught wind of Limen's comments on Arcanum's movements, and had already sent a team of three tigers to intercept them. Would the strange liquefied clones be able to evade some of nature's greatest hunters? Not easily, for those massive paws could splatter liquid all over the place with just a single mighty swipe!
