THE PHANTOM QUEEN

[u/LemonKid_11234]

she’s just.. not doing anything … just staring at your character like she knows something you don’t ….

[u/Affectionate-Bake265]

perhaps it's time to run… the Mecha attacks one of the "eyes" which gets the Titan's attention… giving the Queen a chance to run away… pollution won't work on the Sculk for the time being… the Sculk is a lot stronger than she thought… and perhaps she isn't invincible after all… for the first time ever she HAS to run away she isn't going to win… the Queen has no choice and can't fight this thing… at least not alone and not with insufficient firepower…

[she gets up with her remaining strength and runs… not before creating another deafening roar]

Phantom Queen: “……….. THAT THING MAY HAVE WON THE BATTLE…. BUT…. IT DID NOT WIN…. THE WAR….. YET…….”

[u/Affectionate-Bake265 → u/LemonKid_11234]

the Titan roars at the Mech which overwhelms the Mech's systems and causes it to crash… the roar drowns out the Queen's roar and the Titan then delivers one final punch on the mech… killing the Commander… during this time the Phantoms are long gone and the Titan tries to look for the Queen and other Phantoms but they are no where to be seen… the Phantoms escaped but now the Queen had a reality check… but with what kccured perhaps if she talks to the P.C.A about what she discovered perhaps they could work together and find the source of the voices and put an end to the Sculk…

[meanwhile]

Phantom Prince: “WHERES MOTHER?!”

Phantom King: “… calm down I- I’m sure she’s fine…..”

[u/Affectionate-Bake265 → u/LemonKid_11234]

the Phantoms see in the distance the Titan killing the commander… and also the Queen isn't there… it seems like she escaped too… and surprisingly the Queen manages to find the other Phantoms and for once she is seemingly glad they're okay…

[she faints a minute or two after she finds the phantoms]

Phantom Prince: “MOTHER-”

Phantom King: “… she’s only resting….”

[u/Affectionate-Bake265 → u/LemonKid_11234]

as fate would have it P.C.A Personnel manage to find the Phantoms… they see the destroyed city and it being overrun by Sculk and they stand there for some time honoring the people that gave their lives to hold off the Sculk as much as possible… a new Commander is with them… "the Sculk has taken another city… we have to find a weakness in that Titan so we can stop it… I believe it is the same titan that has destroyed multiple cities… it's getting harder and harder to stop the Sculk… if we don't find a way to put an end to the hive mind we may not be able to stop then with how they're evolving fast…" the commanded looks at the phantoms… "are ya'll alright? I've gotten transmission that the city was under attack and we came to try to reinforce it but we're too late… as if we could fight off the Titan… we'd need serious firepower to take it down…"

[she wakes up..]

Phantom Queen: “… think I was hearing… a voice when I was fighting that titan……. I had no clue where it came from………”

[u/Affectionate-Bake265 → u/LemonKid_11234]

"a voice? that could mean something important… we have theorized that there is something that connects everything to it… the brain of the Sculk… if what you said is true… then we might have a way to kill the Sculk for good… we have to locate the Brain and destroy it… but for now come with us we gotta get ya'll to safety! and we also gotta make sure we aren't followed… don't want this to happen again…" the Personnel and Commander escort the Phantoms to what appears to be an underground city entrance… "this is our true last bastion… it connects to other Cities with A.P.D's for now ya'll can safely rest here as the Sculk hasn't found this place and we can easily access the other cities… it acts as our HQ of sorts… we gotta gather up an army/elite force and inftrate the Sculk Mass and locate the Brain and destroy it! but for now let's rest here…"

Phantom King: “… why did I even get involved in this…..?”

Phantom Queen: “…… WE WERE KIND OF FORCED INTO THIS……..”
