Chapter 801: No Flash, All Bang(2)
“Laaaaa~”
“LAaaaa~”
[You’re going a little to high, try to match with me.]
[Can ya blame me? I’m a screamer, not a singer!]
[Tell that to death metal artists.]
[Fair enough…]
Off to the side, and out of sight from both Olstenna and Zhen Liu, Screamira and Hurricroak were preparing what they believed to be the most decisive way to end this brawl: deafening the hell out of everyone involved with an incredibly powerful high pitched song note.
More specifically, the two of them were going to try and release the exact same type of aether enhanced note, in order to cause everyone to either curl up in pain, pass out or at the very least, flinch long enough for them to do something smarter than just causing everyone in a mile radius to suddenly bleed from their ears.
[Alright, one more time. You got this?]
[I think so…]
[Good.]
To understand why this was their plan of attack, one must become familiar with two concepts: giant monster movie solutions and constructive interference.
“Laaaaa!”×2
[Alright!]
[Let’s go deafen some motherfuckers.]
In reverse order, constructive interference is a phenomenon that occurs when two waves or similar frequencies end up combining with each other to produce a wave with greater intensity than the original two waves.
Now, for the better of several months at this point, Logos and Pathos had been hosting movie nights for the kaijin. The two spirits figured since they had unfettered access to a other whole world’s entertainment, they might as well make the most of it it and warch every movie they could get their collective hands on.
On one such movie night, the gang had decided to watch some “old” film that was done back in the time film reels had to be rewound by hand. The film in question was an old “giant monster” movie where the actors wore giant rubber shots while stomping through the scale model of a nondescript city.
The two sound empowered kaijin had honestly forgotten what that movie was called or what the movie was about, but the one thing they did remember was the solution the humans came up with to defeat the “giant” monster.
In the movie, the monster turned out to be weak to loud sounds, so the humans came up with this weird little machine that could release a high pitched frequency that drove the monster back to whatever home it crawled out of. During the movie, some of the humans didn’t wear the proper safety gear when operating the machine, and were shown to have passed out because of the machine’s frequency.
Based on this one little bit of movie trivia and plot, Hurricroak and Screamira figured they could do something similar, without the usage of some weird machine. The two of them had figured that if they could just sing the same note at the exact same time, and enhance it with aether, they could reach a pitch that had a similar effect to that movie.
In other words, they were using a mixture of science and their innate otherworldly abilities to try and turn themselves into living sonic weapons.
With this plan in mind, and the two of them finally being in-sync,Screamira and Hurricroak proceeded to place themselves in a part of the arena that gave them full view of the fight going on between their lord and Olstenna.
[Alright! Now all we have to do is-]
[Wait a minute, do you sense that? Actually, wait, do you see that?]
[Oh. Huh…]
That said, their new position made it so that they could also see that they weren’t the only ones trying to interfere with this fight.
Off on the opposite end of the arena, they could see their lord’s cousin, Zhen Hai, about to launch some electrified water attributed attack, while from above they could see Frosttusk sailing through the air like a very unfortunate skiier.
Technically speaking, these two outside factors alone were enough of a deterrence that Hurricroak and Screamira didn’t need to commit to their plan of using resonating screams to knock everyone that could hear them to pass the fuck out.
On the other hand, they realized that they could pull off something incredibly funny if they timed this moment just right.
[So…Frosttusk is about to make impact with the manager from on high, hopefully being able to merge with him in the process and sap all of the heat that’s assaulting his soul..]
[Meanwhile, the maestro’s cousin is about to fire off some mysterious aether art that is releasing a similar vibes to yours truly…]
[And that means that Olstenna guy is going to have a make a very quick decision as to whether he wants to deal with the UFM(unidentified flying mammoth) or the incoming shark to his face.]
[Unless we make it so that he’s too busy trying to recover his hearing before he can deal with either of them.]
[…]
[…]
[Shall we?]
[Yes, let’s shall.]
With their plans now slightly modified, both Screamira and Hurricroak proceeded to take simultaneous deep breaths. As they did, the surrounding aether began to churn and groan in a rather violent manner, an indication that their rather adhoc plan was about to hurt a lot more than how anyone had anticipated.
[On three, ready?]
[One.]
[Two.]
[THREE!]

To better convey what the fuck is going on, the following scene will be told from an omniscient third person narration, with the actions being listed in sequential order.
If this shit ever gets drawn or animated, this particular bit of narration will not be included.
Thank you.

|Did you really have to include tha last part?|
Until we achieve some level of visual media, yes.
|Ay caramba…|

‘Fuck it!’
In the exact moment Olstenna realized that he was about to slammed with three different possible attacks, he decided to go for broke and launch an assault against the berseked Zhen Liu.
Going off of this aggressive energy, Zhen Liu responded in kind, readying and extending his axe so that he could jam it into Olstenna’s skull.
However, before either side could launch a proper attack against the other, Screamira and Hurricroak released a perfectly harmonized pair of power notes that reached such a a high frequency that not only did it force Zhen Liu and Olstenna to flinch out of instinctive pain from high frequencies suddenly assaulting their ears, but several canine-like aether beasts located outside of the arena began to whimper as well.
[Storm Surge!]
“Ah! My ears!”
Shortly after this moment, Zhen Hai’s attack had managed to go off without a hitch…mostly.
A literal moment after having successfully launch his attack, Zhen Hai was forced onto his knees due to having his ears suddenly developing crippling tinitius. Incidently, he wasn’t the only member of the Zhen Clan suffering from this sudden attack on the senses, but they weren’t close enough to the arena to be relevant at this time, so it didn’t really matter.
Back to the battle at hand though, Zhen Hai’s attack had managed to knock Olstenna away from Zhen Liu and into wall, creating a fuckton of steam in the process of cool, electrified water came into contact with Olstenna’s burning hot existence.
This steam made it nearly impossible for anybody to peer into the arena and see what was going on or where anyone was.
[Incoming!]
However, it also made the perfect cover for Frosttusk to come crashing in on top of Zhen Liu like a ton of bricks…or in this case, a literal ton of mammoth and metal.
[Forced Stigma!]
However, instead of flattening Zhen Liu into a pancake, Frosttusk exploded into a shower of light particles that merged with Zhen Liu’s [Regalia] and changed the originally black and demonic-look armor to take on significantly bluer, colder and Vikingesque look.
Needless to say, this sudden change in temperature had snuffed out Zhen Liu’s flames completely and forced the man to suddenly stop and stand in the middle of the arena like a statue.
Evidently, this chain of events had happened so rapidly one after the other that Zhen Liu was suffering from a bad case of mental whiplash induced headaches…then again, it could’ve also been the weird energy signatures he was picking up now that he was cognizant again.

[Hi, minn jarl. Oh, so that’s why you were acting all murder happy…makes sense.]
‘WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!’
[I’m not entirely sure, but I think I can sap away enough for this heat for you to retake control of your body.]
‘Oh. Do…wait a minute…what the fuck?’
[Minn jarl, what’s wrong?]
‘I’m not sure how to describe this…but I feel like I’m being targeted by a religious zealot and a twin demons at the same time…’
[You mean twin kaijin?]
‘No…’

In this exact moment, as the Kaijin Lord and Ignarii found themselves to be stunned and battered, the twin sisters found their opening.
“Opportunity has come, sister dear.”
“Let’s make sure it doesn’t have too wait too long, dear sister.”
…
‘By the wings! The prophet was right?! In that case, I need to move. Now!’
