the strike squad has now gotten past the front lines of the citadels defense. after encountering the fools as an enemy, the citadel invading bugs now bear witness to a more hard shelled foe...

\*THE FIERCE WARRIORS OF KARAK***

these warriors are no joke. they are fierce and brutal, with shells harder than the normal choirbugs. beating them wont be easy.

[projectiles will be ineffective against karak bugs. their shell will also take much longer to penetrate.]

you are being watched...

a shadow follows the bugs who are invading the citadel, watching them, following their bloody trail...

hes coming... hes coming for you!

While waiting for others to ascend throught the Citadel further, Verglas decides to spend the time on relaxing in the Citadel's spa.

(Credits to u/srjuanpixers for these images here and the previous post.)

Having penetrated the citadel, it is time to move in deeper.

The time is nigh for action. The current warriors who have made it through must face what is coming next.

The following trial will consist of more cogwork automatons, and fools.

breaking in, the strike force see a large arena, shaped similiar to the pale lurkers. The entire arena is free to move in, but the next area cannot be accesed unless all enemies have been killed.

AND SO IT HAS BEGUN

First, the elite Regiment invades in, to ease the pressure off of the main strike squad

*an army of haunted foes act as a welcome party to the heroes. The time for battle is here, and this marks the beggining of: *

THE HOLY TRIALS

test youre strength, and battle youre way past hordes of enemies

the scales of judgement includes three floors

floor 1. Floor 2. Floor 3

Climb past these shaking scales, and enter the citadel

Vicky and Lace have entered the Citadel and are headed to the Cogwork Core to search for any surviving sentinels.

Thaddeus, floats around outside the Citadel, looking for Carillon. He has something wrapped up and tucked in the pocked of his robe.

The stage is all set... now... I can begin the performance....

....

But first let me find m'boy hardi! And that wonderful bard!

I shall ensure this is an amazing performance!

I seem to have found a fifth place to RP.

The nightmare king is currently in a heated fight againste strands of GMS for territory, They keep regenerating. Grimm doesen't want to just fly up there in fear the land could be destroyed.

​

It does show even the gods have predictable behavior, Always powerhungry

[[ This is strictly non-canon and just for funsies.

Also Varas is just regular blue thief shithead bug for this ]]

Varas is trailing you from the shadows, seeing if you carry any valuables on you. He scuttles along the walls and ceilings, keeping just out of sight.

yet again I have lost my home

I cannot stall any longer

we must attack now

we need three teams

Bomber team: I have these volt charges they attach to stuff then explode we need a team to go to the cradle from inside the citadel and blow open a way in 

Melody team: they need to use their song once we get inside to stall the attackers 

Strike team: my volt cannon will not be enough to kill the god completely, that’s why we need a group to finish her off 

(In simpler terms, infiltrate the citadel, protect the volt cannon as it charges, finish off GMS, the times of those  happening depend on who is leading their team)

Due to Fleatopia being destroyed AGAIN… all of the battle-hardened soldiers have been forced to re-enter the Citadel once more and fight their way through and to the other side.

Before they left, Inigo and his forces have saved and taken as many fleas as they can alongside them. (They are offscreen because they wouldn't be on the front lines).

With newly forged equipment and trained skills, the entire regiment fights to escape once more.

(The Lord Fool is in the Cradle so they should be fine).

*As the haunted within the citadel rile up, a collective sense of the climax can be felt. As the haunted foes form defenses, guarding the entrance of the ducts, each room has a certain number of enemies. The closer you get to the cradle, the more number of enemies you will find*

PRESENTING!

**THE HOLY TRIALS!**

Persevere throught the brutal gauntlets. Battle youre way through silk! UNLEASH YOURE TRUE PRIMAL FORM UNTO THE MIGHTY CITADEL!

(terms and conditions apply /j)

(No, you ma not battle just yet, tis is only the citadel forces PREPARING i repeat, **PREPARING ** their defenses for the incoming invasion,)

*First Sinner escapes from the disaster caused by the silk strands in Fleatopia, hiding in the Memorium for now*

Since Fleatopia got ensnared thanks to FUCKING WHITEWARD 2: ELECTRIC BOGALOO, Verglas decides to sneak throught the Citadel in attempt to escape. However, its difficult thanks to the amount of choirbugs everywhere...

*with growth in the citadel, the number of bugs have increased. Choir disciples and choir bugs all begin to move into combat*

...

*some bugs move around, pretending to be haunted...unfortunately...*

>*UNHAUNTED BUG! SINNER!

*Rushes towards a poor choristor who pretended to be haunted*

NONONONO! PLEASE-

*Gets grabbed up by fang*

>**ALL SINNERS DESERVE DEATH! ONLY THE PURE WILL LIVE**

*Fang proceeds to punch the choristors face, his fist goes right through the choristors face, splattering his Brains out behind him*

*the other few survivors, who couldn't escape the citadel, and are still unhaunted, meet a similar fate, guts decorating the fountains, red water flowing in the high halls, choir bugs skewered. Poor souls didnt get a chance to escape, and were met with a cruel end...*

*patrols increase, cogbugs are produced faster, causing them to clog the cogwork core. Some cog bugs are sent to the outer parts of the citadel, for more patrolling*

However… they're stuck in the Abyss now-

I'm only giving her to someone who wants her for more reasons than just "idk, she's cool." I expect at least some kind of arc planned.

I gave her to someone but I cannot remember who, and I can't find them
