-While everyone was busy with their own things, Nero was walking down the halls with the usual air of carefree arrogance she possesses-
-However, when she reaches the nearbiest reflective surface, she looks on to it, looking at how her reflection looks very different from how she is now-
-For one the reflection has a taller frame, and animalistic ears, horns and other appendages protrude from her head, along fangs sharp and tall enough they come from her mouth, with her hands having also sharp claws, and rather than her dress she was just wearing a gold plate and a veil, with most modesty coming from the fact the reflection was covered in torrents of blood-
-Nero showed no fear nor surprise at the difference in her reflection, keeping her smile-
Nero: "So, you're trying to possess me, don't you?" -her reflection not moving its lips, rather staring with a stoic face- "Allow me to guess, you were defeated and now seek to become whole again, by possessing another you that has yet to be like you?"
-Now the reflection's eyebrows frowned a little, expressing annoyance-
Nero: "Unfortunately for you I can't allow that to happen. My incredible talents still deserve to be shared with all the people around, hm~!"
-The annoyed reflection, tired of this little interaction already... Jumped from the surface and tried to grab her other self in an effort to submit and merge with her, that way she'll be able to recover her full power-
-...But before she knew, she felt a strong punch right to her gut, sending her back and having her crash on the nearbiest wall. Just as she was recovering, her limbs were tied up by magic, and she felt a blade removing what little invincibility she had-
Merlin: "Well, well, hello there"
Orion: "Sorry missy, but we're Grands, so we're doing our job"
Hassan: "Once we detected another Evil of Humanity slowly approaching, a plan was concocted along the Emperor"
Nero: "Pretty much, yeah~"
-And now the expression of this other Nero changed from one of annoyance to pure anger, grtitting her teeth-
Nero: "And now you're weak enough to be slain by a normal Servant" -has her blade lit in flames- "So long, Beast of Sodom, let others not experience how horrid I could have been!" -she said before managing to slice her other self in half, screaming in agony as she disappeared in little- "Aaaand the curtains come down! Great plan, hm~"
Orion: "PHEW! Good she was in such a weakened state!"
Merlin: "Keeping the plan a secret helped a little I guess"
-had made sure to cast a bounded field that wouldn't allow the Beast's scream to be heard-
Hassan: "Her essence shall stop existing in little in this timeline, pruned as she shall..."
Nero: "Thank you for your cooperation~! Hmm~"
Orion: "How many Beasts have we encountered so far again?"
Hassan: "With this slain of Beast VI/S, from those who have appeared, the second half of Beast I has yet to be witnessed, as well as that of Beast IV"
Merlin: "And if you're worrying about the succubus, well there's a reason I am looking over her as much as with Cath Palug"
Orion: "Okay, so what about Beast VII? You know, the Beast of the End?"
Merlin: "About that, I may have tried to take a look at her. She has zero reason go appear in our world or any other we know of. Poor girl seems to be such a klutz anyway that she would be harmless"
Orion: "Well sounds good, phew! Anyway... We should never talk of others about this, right?"
Nero: "You have my lips sealed, so now if you excuse me, I must go sing for the people~!"
-The three Grands felt bad for those that will be there, but are glad to have dealt with that Beast in secret-
Phosphy: "Yep yep."

Kamui: "Sweetie...?"
Azura: "Fair enough, I suppose."
---
-she still thinks Shez is being a silly :V-
---
-perhaps she could have a bond like that too?-
Lindy: "I think everyone can see it... Minus the target of affection"
---
Erika: "Yeeees~?"
Mata Hari: "What of you?"
---
-Good Sothis ain't there or she would call her out- :V
---
-But to who...?-
(Do you guys want anything?)
(Ooh, I'd love some dessert!)
(I think I'm alright. Ata?)
___
-Vasquez is able to kill a few more of the aliens with some pistol shots, but soon runs out of pistol ammo as well, and she can only give a simultaneously angry and somewhat fearful "No!" at the knowledge. Just as some aliens are about to catch up to her, however, Gorman shows up and fires at them with his own pistol, downing them as well as another one that tries to ambush them from another vent above-
-Gorman tries to pull her to safety, but makes too little progress without help, and soon, two more aliens corner them from
both sides of the vent...-
___
-They're now at the entrance to Funland-
___

___
Steven: "Oh, is...something wrong, Byleth?"
___
-I remember you mentioned it a while back, so I'm not surprised-
Ingrid: "I would recognize those beams from anywhere."
-Coyle fires one of her own (if her grab in ARMS lets her go a weird blast thing, this is fair game :V)-
---
Palutena: "Someone get me Gilgamesh. Now!"
---
Byleth: "Nothing. I'm just not exactly comfortable with the idea of someone that size being the one to pick fights. Doesn't seem safe..."
---
-yeah, same here-
-At the same time he was trying to knew her!-
Charlotte: "I just hope the others haven't been found out..."
-Some turn to Moon and try to aim at her-
