//Okay, let gather all that we know:

-We are in this weird dimension with no gravity.
-All the archangels (Except this new eighth one) are dead.
-Yuugen betrayed us and possessed Sumireko.
-She is now gathering all the archangels' powers.
-We are face to face with her and need to find a way to stop her without killing Sumireko herself or the archangel (We don't even know what it wants).

//If we want more options, we need to go deeper, that's how we managed to make shortcut tears, so we gonna think of a way to give ourselves more options too.

>Let's try to go beyond what we know, try to have a feel of our surroundings without our eyes and ears, focus on what it feels like, if we can sense any odd energy, any strange feeling, then try to seek if there is any shimmer there.

//Oh wait ! Didn't Yuugen have 5 eyes ? We only saw four, does that mean there is one in her back too ?

//So we know that Renko has her own plan of trying to get Sumireko to stand up for herself. We can't help that much since Sumireko probably never saw us really before. If we don't consider Renko's plan, and Sumireko gets hurt somehow, she might be furious with us.
That eliminates shooting YuugenMagan or sending her through a gap until Renko's plan progresses.
But we could still do some things like the energy thing Raf said or try some boundary power.

In short, we gotta work with Renko's plan somehow.

Go ahead and try! We can shoot her if the other stuff doesn't work.

As a last restort, i suggest we open an gap into where Sumirenko's heart is, and grab it BUT NOT SQUEEZE IT, and threaten to kill yuugen if she doesn't stop. If she doesn't, then we'll squeez.

Neovereign · « **Reply #758 on:** August 02, 2016, 10:06:15 AM »

//Or it could mean Sumireko and that YgMg's plan with actually win... Seems like something Fate would be very likely to do, considering what's happened so far.
//And killing Sumireko directly ourself is a horrible idea to me :qq: I still like the last resort of tearing ~~this place a new one the size of Eientei.~~

Serela · « **Reply #759 on:** August 02, 2016, 11:44:07 AM »

Yeah let's not try to MURDER sumireko first thing.

Shooting her with lasers in her eyeballs (namely, yuugenmagan's, so sumireko might not be so bad off) is a better idea than that >.>

Our next action either has to be full-on Renko plan or the plan to attempt shooting her into a gap so we can call for Yukari's help, we've lost the free time for trying to figure something new with our powers. She's about to destroy the universe.

Monarda · « **Reply #760 on:** August 02, 2016, 02:17:14 PM »

//This is so complicated, i think the "try and shove her" plan is a bit sketchy, we don't even known if we can get to her in time, maybe could restrain her at least ? Remember that there a fifth eye missing too.

Serela · « **Reply #761 on:** August 02, 2016, 02:56:22 PM »

A missing eye doesn't mean much. Restraining her is a much worse idea because the second she recovers from being lasered (if she's stunned at all) she can beat the hell out of us- the only way attacking will probably work is if we can attack her through a gap, whether from recoil on the laser itself or a shove. We could get closer before lasering if distance is a thing.

It might not work, but what are our options again?
A.Try to find a new thing we can do with our powers (Except we tried and no longer have any time to experiment, we can't afford to do this anymore)
B.Renko's plan
C.My plan
D.Stuff that might murder Sumireko (Squeezing her heart is nothing short of a death threat.)

Yeah. Or panic tears, I guess. But, you know, that kind of puts reality itself at risk. Yukari very well may not notice since we're not in Gensokyo.

Monarda · « **Reply #762 on:** August 02, 2016, 03:24:56 PM »

//I guess we could try your idea, then if it works we can have Renko try and stimulate Sumireko to make peace with the archangel or something and resist Yuugen together.

Neovereign · « **Reply #763 on:** August 02, 2016, 05:11:04 PM »

//If we had the dagger, I would be so up for flinging it into the YuugenMagan chest-eye.
Going with Renko's plan means we're risking it all on the hopes that the archangel and Sumireko can agree, let alone do something.
Shooting YuugenMagan might do something, or it might be completely useless. It's a final gambit on hoping it works. Unless Yukari comes for the Tear End, this is a better choice IMO.
Using a tear means we're basically saying "Screw everything I've had enough." There's a chance YuugenMagan might try to take us out, but regardless if she does, she's pretty screwed too because there's no one to stop it.
We might not have enough time to even make use of gaps.

Serela · « **Reply #764 on:** August 02, 2016, 05:57:03 PM »

We aren't necessarily at one action left before the world ends, but we -are- at the point where we have to make each action count. If shooting her fails, we can still do something else... probably.

So, assuming I interpreted Miniking's post right, we're in agreement on the shooting plan? Yell if not, etc

>Close all open gaps we have. Open a big one to the Hakurei Shrine right behind SumiMagan.
>Whisper to Renko. "_{Push her in the gap, us too.}" Start moving towards SumiMagan with her... if she doesn't come with us, well. :T
>Once we're not too far from reaching her, or as soon as SumiMagan seems to react to us, fire a laser directly into the big eye on her chest.
>If anything goes wrong during this series of actions or there's a good reason to suggest we won't be able to shove her, well, we'll regroup on that!

If it doesn't work, panic-attempt Renko's plan and resort to more dangerous methods if that still doesn't work (like panic tears) I guess? Even if the laser doesn't work well, maybe we can still shove her?

Monarda · « **Reply #765 on:** August 02, 2016, 06:00:28 PM »

//Yea, seems like our best bet for now, i just hope this "Witch's house-like" part is over soon.

>You are Sumireko Usami. And it feels like you've been trapped in a nightmare...

>Recently, you awakened from what seemed to be a long sleep, and immediately found yourself face to face with someone you had never seen before. She attacked you, and in self defense, you retaliated. The two of you took your battle skyward, but for whatever reason, nobody seemed to land a hit on each other. Eventually you both tired out in a forest clearing, far from where the battle began.

>Then the nightmare began.

>In an instant, five eyes surrounded you and flew into you, since then, you've been within what appears to be a cage made of pure electricity, floating in a void. Your adversary was here as well, and the two of you began to fight once more. Though, the fighting stopped once she witnessed what was occurring through the window at the far side of the void. You watched as what appeared to be you killed some kind of angel, as well as some orb-like construct. Prompting a big "NO!" from your enemy. Since then, she has sat huddled in the corner of the cage.

>There is another woman as well, a blonde haired one, floating in the void. Taunting your helplessness, but now she seems entirely focused on the window.

>Suddenly you hear a familiar voice call out to you... A voice you haven't heard in a long time...
