Key to the Catacombs, Session 3

<WindStrike> *Last time on ZURPG! You spent the whole session pwning some Tonberries, Cactuars, and then a long boss battle against, of all bloody things, a frigin' key, caused by the DM's laziness and your guys' shenanigans. Between puns, a falcon punch from Strife, some other epic attacks, and whatnot, you destroy the key boss and used the key to unlock a vault full of uber artifacts.
<WindStrike> *Now, ready to defeat anything, you now prepare to leave these dusty old catacombs...
<DM> -=SESSION STARTO!=-
<DM> *You all gear up to leave the catacombs, on your way to find the Wizard of Oz- wait, wrong story.
* Fireblast wonders what the hell a Wizard of Oz is
<DM> *At the exit to the catacombs, you see eyes glowing from the darkness of the exit. Many, many eyes... and many, many lanterns, glowing in the darkness.
<DM> [Strife]: NO, NOT THE NIGHTMARES, LET THESE CURSED FLUFFLY DOLLS GO AWAY!
* Sephiroth randomly hurls a tonberry's knife at the DM.
* Hal glances at the eyes. He knows that something is not right here
* DM eats it..... and dies....... and revives.
<Fireblast> Why do I feel like this was originally something that was fought before
<Hal> Tonberries.
<Hal> Lets hope nothing can throw them at us
<DM> *They all advance slowly towards you...
<DM> * From around the corridors of the old city, you hear a gruff voice, which echoes all around you. *
* Fireblast throws a random cup of tea towards the area
<DM> [???]: “I’ve been waiting in this City for so very long now!”
<DM> * You hear an older, traditional-style plucked string instrument kick in. *
<DM> [???]: “I was starting to worry the DM would never load this part of the game, and I’d be stuck in loading screen limbo!”
<DM> * A large man several times your size drops down from above, crushing the army of Tonberries before you and shaking the ground as he lands. He has a fearsome, Asian-style mask with two slits, revealing a pair of golden eyes beneath it. *

<DM> [???]: “See these weapons I picked up in the Rift?”
<Fireblast> Well, don't YOU look funny!
<DM> * This epic man has six arms, four of which are equipped with automatic guns and two have rocket launchers. *
<Hal> o.o
<DM> * He shoots them all a few times up in the air. The sounds of rapid-fire thunder and explosions fill the air as part of the ceiling collapses, dropping a storm of dust particles upon you. *

<Hal> Where the heck does these fancy gizmos come from?

* Hal looks at Sephiroth
<Hal> Did they come from where you came from?
<DM> [???]: “They let me predict the weather: bullet showers and rocket storms!”
<DM> [???]: “LET IT BEGIN!”

* Darte finishes the whirlwind of blades.  Is that... steam rising from his fishy skin?
* Darte may have cooked himself this time...
<DM> *Darte starts the assault off with a stab to the chest. He then leaps off of it, spins around and dashes back and forth several times with Brotherhood's Blitz Ace before launching a ball of water. Copying Gilgamesh's MEDOKEN attempt, Darte propels his final stab attack with the ball of water, blasting right through Gilgamesh and cooking himself into a fish in the process.
* Fireblast has her dead corpse give Darte a thumbs up for cooking himself
<Darte> 10h 0m
<DM> [Strife]: I now... remember.

<Sephiroth> 31 + 15 = 46 damage.
<Sephiroth> 73 + 46 = 119 damage total from me.

<DM> *Sephiroth's meteor lands squarely on Gilgamesh as his sword impale through the corpse of the meteor into Gilgamesh, with the subsequent series of explosions and the blast wave empowering Strife's follow-up.
<DM> [Strife]: Now that you've faced despair... OMNISLASH!

<DM> Fireblast Burn from Corpse: 2 Damage
<DM> *740 Damage and a ton of attacks later, the sheer impact completely levels whatever remains of Old Hyrule Castle Town, causing the Interdimensional Rift to open and send him hurtling through it twice over. The Rift itself destabilizes into a Black Hole, and the impact of his velocity slamming into the center of the Black Hole supernovas the entirety of the Rift.
<DM> *In the end, from the rubble of all the buildings... Gilgamesh rises again.... with -469 Hearts. As his profile dead, even if he dies, he cannot be killed.
<DM> [Gilgamesh]: I don't think even the entirety of every world's most powerful attacks combined into one could've possibly topped that. That was BRILLIANT! An excellent fight from you all! I'd join your party, but ZURPG's rules don't allow zombies to become party members.
* Fireblast takes a neutral damage to drop into -1h
<DM> [Gilgamesh]: I shall return to my world now! ...........
<DM> [Gilgamesh]: .......... how do I get back?
* DM kicks Gilgamesh back into the Rift, despite it being on an infinite supernova loop.
<DM> $init r
<Navi> DM: The bot has been reset.
* Fireblast is still just a large pool of blood
<DM> *With that, you collect Fireblast's bloodbaths that have coated the entire city's rubble into a tiny bottle, and you roll back on up, out of the Catacombs, away from the keys, away from the city-wide destruction, and not surprisingly, there are some holes in Shady's Training Field, two of which seemed to have been caused by large objects falling from the heavens.
<DM> -=QUEST END=-
<WindStrike> *KEESE AND CO. is now in an epic battle in the heavens fighting the new KEYS AND CO.
