[spoiler]This Key Encounter will work a little differently. I'll explain at the end.[/spoiler]
You and Fukua rush back to the Observation Deck. At the door, you find Tager, helplessly tossed to the side, despite his size and strength. He weakly looks up at you as you approach. Next to him you notice Theta, hugging her knees. She doesn't say a word, and you can't seem to get her to, either. Tears were streaming down her face, but as far as you could tell, she seemed unharmed.
"It.. Was a trap.." Tager said. "Aifos, and Kokonoe.. Are still.." His words trail off as he passes out.
The two of you run inside, and you immediately see Aifos, wounded, thrown against the computer screens. Lambda, and Rho, already beaten down (but thankfully still alive) were carelessly tossed against the walls. The only one left standing was Kokonoe, with an exhausted look on her face, and a pair of heavy duty gauntlets on her fists stands between him and the assailant.
"About time you showed up.." Kokonoe said.
The assailant turned away from Kokonoe, and fixed her gaze upon you. She was wearing a set of intricate white and gold armor, and had eight levitating sword blades behind her back. Upon her helmet was a ring encircling her head, with five T-shaped prongs coming off of it. The halo of the Divine Trinity. Then, it dawned upon you who it was.
"..Fie..?" Fukua asked.
[spoiler]This Key Encounter is a BOSS BATTLE!
Fie has an absolutely enormous health bar, that you can't take down on your own! Instead, everyone will attack her together, and you'll wear down her health as a group. Be aware you [i]can[/i] lose this battle. If your HP that I have arbitrarily assigned you hits 0, you will get knocked out! Aifos has an HP gauge as well, that will go down whenever one of your allies fall.
If you're knocked out, you can be resurrected [i]once[/i], but otherwise the battle will be left to everyone else.
I'll arbitrarily assign damage and HP values to both you and Fie, so no need to worry about sending me a character sheet or anything.
Do remember that the Takamagahara System is still in place, though, so while most attacks are probably fine, I don't want to see no god-modding ya hear!?
Every turn, you can both dodge/block any attack coming your way, and attack back. The more creative your attacks are, the more damage you'll deal, and likewise the more creative your blocks/dodges are, the less damage you'll take.
Win Conditions: Defeat Fie-21
Lose Conditions: All player HP hits 0. Aifos HP hits 0[/spoiler]

"Aubrey will pay for this. Screw capture! What's the plan?"

“There’s nothing we can do for her now.” Kokonoe said, letting one of her gauntlets fall to the ground. “Take her out.”
-
"There's always something. Fie, are you still in there?"
-
“Listen to..... I can’t control..... You have to..... Run.” Fie said. Her voice seemed to be struggling, but her body remained perfectly calm.
-
"Yes you can! Don't give up so easily! If you don't stop yourself, you'll kill everyone down here, or someone will take you out of action. You can stop this."
-
“It’s too late…. I can’t…. She’s….. In control….. I’m sorry!” Three sparks of light appear in the air around Fie, and shoot off a trio of blades made of light towards you.
-
He steps to the side, trying to let the blades go past. "They're lies, meant to keep you a slave!" [spoiler]What's the layout of the room?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Mostly empty, table in the middle. One of the walls is made of security screens.[/spoiler] “No…. It’s not a….. Lie….. I’m gone….. Don’t try to….” You sidestep the blades (-6). Before Fie can follow up the attack, Fukua strikes her from the front, pushing her back a ways (-100). “Hey, look, I get the whole ‘don’t want to fight her’ thing, but corrupting people is kind of the Trinity’s whole deal.” Fukua said. “There’s not a lot we can do…” [spoiler]Fukua will cover your attack on any turn you don’t attack. Be aware Fukua’s attacks always do minimum damage.[/spoiler]
-
."Then we do what we can." He flips the table on its side between him and Fie before aiming and firing at her kneecaps.
-
Blaze lets out a gasp. “Wha....what the hell?!”

-
“It’s a trick..” Kokonoe said. “Aubrey must have taken control of her body. Her personality’s been overridden, just take her out!”
-
“I...okay...okay....” Blaze takes a few deep breaths, and loses a bit of emotion. “So....attack till it stops?”
-
“You.. Want to attack me?” Fie asked. “I thought we were getting along, though? What did I do to make you upset?” “Don’t listen to her, just get rid of her!” Kokonoe yelled.
-
Blaze lets out a quiet growl, and his face barely changes. A shadow spike appears and tries to impair her leg.
-
She notices the spike at the last second, and slides out of the way, taking a light cut in her leg (-110). Immediately three sparks of light appear in the air, and fire off a trio of white blades towards you.
-
Blaze summons a shadow hand to swipe them out of the way, and he shoots at Fie.
-
As the first two collide with the hand, they explode in a burst of light, getting deflected, but tearing huge holes in the shadow as they do. The thid one passes through one of these holes, though its aim gets thrown off grazing the shadow, and it only slightly cuts your shoulder (-6). You immediately fire your gun, though it’s blocked by a barrier of light that forms in front of her (-100). The barrier dissipates, and she holds out her hand. Four sparks of light form around you, each one ready to fire a blade at you in a cross.
-
Blaze makes a shadow barrier around himself, and expels it outward to negate the attack. He has a shadow tendrils form and lash out at Fie.
-
The blades all fire simultaneously, crashing into your barrier all at once, and creating a damagint light explosion around you. It burns, but better than getting impaled (-7). The tendrils form beneath her, and successfully manage to knock her around a bit (-110), before she cuts them all down with a spin attack. She rushes you, bringing the swords floating behind her together like a large pair of scissors.
-
Blaze tries to raise himself up on a pillar of shadow, and have it collapse on top of Fie as he hops off, with a slight smile on his face at her getting hurt.
-
[spoiler]Cold, Blaze. She ain’t even evil.[/spoiler] Though you manage to avoid the attack (-6), and the pillar falls towards her (-110), that’s where your plan falls apart. She sends several light blades into the pillar as it falls, causing the whole thing to explode, sending you flying across the room.
-
[spoiler]I mean, that ain’t fully Blaze right now.[/spoiler] Blaze tries to make a cushion of dark under him to help with the fall, and has a beam of shadows head straight for her.
-
You hit your cushion, and then bounce off the side, and then onto the floor (-7). You fire off your beam, and it hits Fie briefly, before she breaks off to its side (-110), and rushes you, swinging her swords from above.
