Eliza and Vexus immediately look at the Condesce, shocked - both at her sudden appearance and her remark. "What?"

Albus can't help himself and just bursts out into laughter, forgetting for a moment that this is the same terrifying fish lady he couldn't even get within ten feet of earlier without bailing.

"What? What does that mean? Explain your..." Smytus starts, only to trail off when he notices one detail - the Condesce is actually bigger than him. After a few moments of silence of silence, he only manages to offer one comment. "...well, I suddenly feel inadequate."

As Albus' laughter quiets down and the guard wipes away a tear from his eye, Albus happens to notice something. His jubilation quickly fades, replaced by fear. "Uh...boss? You might wanna...look behind you..."

Eliza does, and so does Vexus, allowing them to both see Morphos getting up, now with his wound healed, his body fit and muscular again rather than being an empty husk, and very, very, pissed.

"You know what? That score can wait..." Morphos growls, before turning around to face the group. "I need to teach you a lesson - and your friend, too, while I'm at it!"

"'Friend'? Did you not notice the injuries from our battle against each other?" Vexus remarks.

Morphos, ignoring the question, roars and charges at the group.

Almost immediately, Smytus flies towards Morphos, fists at the ready - seems like he wants to restore his ego. "If you want to get to the queen, you'll have to go through me, Smytus, destroyer of worl-HRRK!"

Morphos slid beneath Smytus as he flew and "grabbed" his body by slamming his upper arms into the robot's sides, causing Smytus a good amount of pain as Morphos gets back up, smirking. "Destroyer of worlds, eh?"

Morphos' power-copying tentacle latches onto Smytus for a moment and copies his abilities before retracting, and then Morphos rears back his lower right arm, which glows and breaks apart to reveal an exact replica of Smytus' arm - albeit with Morphos' trademark blue stitches. "A shame that I was designed to defeat a destroyer of worlds!"

"Uh oh." Smytus gulps.

Morphos punches Smytus, sending him flying.

"...this could be an issue..." Eliza mutters as Morphos turns back to them, with his lower right hand turning into a claw with a green aura around it and spikes emerging from his lower right arm.

"I got this." Vexus stands up as much as she can with her injuries, looking at Morphos without any fear in her eyes.

"And just how do you-"

That's when Morphos resumes his charge, cutting Eliza off. Vexus just rolls her eyes before stepping to the side, waiting for Morphos to get a bit closer before swiping her claw through the air, ripping open a tear in reality as she casually sticks her leg out.

Morphos can't stop himself in time, and trips over Vexus' leg. He tries to pull Vexus in with him with his wild flailing, but Vexus squashes and stretches her body out of the way, and Morphos falls into the portal without incident.

"Powerful bioweapon with regeneration and the ability to copy its enemies...taken out by simply tripping him." Vexus shakes her head. "Disgraceful."

Eliza looks at Vexus. "...you were holding back on me, weren't you?"

"Because until I ran into you, I hadn't met a single human who could fight me on even ground without some sort of assistance - I just figured you were overconfident in your skills." Vexus replies. "And trust me - I'm not holding back next time."

"I look forward to it..." Eliza smirks. "Say, where did you send that disgusting thing?"

"Oh, that portal lead to the top of the mountain over there." Vexus gestures to the mountain that - unbeknownst to her - is the same mountain that Null happens to be watching everyone from. "It'll be a long way down for him..."

And then Morphos lands a few feet behind Null.

With a growl, he pushes himself up. That little...who does she think she is!? Morphos, now angry, looks around for something to take out his anger on - anything...

And then he sees Null.

Morphos smirks, before taking a deep breath...

Mack jumps as the entire group hears a loud roar. "Did you guys hear that?"
