After the Beserk Trigger went off, you passed out. When you woke back up on your land, you knew you didn't have much time before your dreamself would be as good as dead. They'd auto-return to the now-frozen moon's bed, sure, but that didn't mean they weren't in danger. You needed to Tier, and you needed to do it quickly.
Rhyme, of course, was not a fan of intense situations - but you had to ignore it, for the good of the session and your own long term goals. You rushed full-speed to your quest bed, Adam giving you real-time instructions on exactly how to get there. It didn't take long, and you had made sure to get a Sunslammer-zone boss following you along the way. You dropped down onto the Quest bed, and let the massive foe crush you.

"Target acquired." 556 said casually, goldenbow aimed at a sleeping Julie on the physical quest bed, who had an outfit change to something normal without automated defensive buffs. The awake dreamself Julie waited impatiently, gripping her wallet tightly to ensure her inventory went with her. "Alright, open fire."
"Thank you very much." the archer acknowledged, most likely as Julie's exile spammed 'NO! STOP!' in abject horror. But it was far too late for that. The Secret Gentleman retreated to his shell to watch from safety as the 556-class gunbunny unloaded a veritable barrage of golden arrows into Julie's realself, pinning her to the bedrock and riddling her with even more, depleting her health vial in only a few seconds of point-blank blasting. On scripted cue, Julie's dreamself teleported to the skaian bed and ascended. The Muse of Time put up her hood and laughed, flying into orbit of wintered Prospit to catch up with AN.

Ben crashed through the roof of the palace, FC nowhere in sight. He sprang up from the frost-coated floor of the decimated palace.
The ring, it seemed, had been lost under the ice and snow. The agents were digging around through the piles trying to find it. A ring attached to a white hand in the middle of a white, snowy floor. Talk about trying to find a needle in a haystack.
"Uh, yo." Ben said. "Agents."
They all looked up at him, confused and annoyed.
"Uh, Hi. So, uh, GTFO before I have to waste you. That ring is staying here."
After sharing a brief, confused look, the agents simultaneously kept towards Ben, save for JN, who kept stabbing the snow looking for the ring.
"Oh shit."

Out of nowhere, a Julie in a garish hybrid of winter wear and an Eiserne Jungfrau uniform over her godtier outfit appeared, gunhands on hands.
"Did somebody order a MURDER?!" she inquired with a momentary area timeslow to be dramatic.
Gently shoving Ben a few seconds into the future to buy some time by causing the agents to miss their initial strikes, she flashstepped over a good distance from Noir and started speaking in disconcerting images and nonsensical babbling, while shooting of course.
"Knox's second! It is forbidden for supernatural agencies to be employed as a detective technique! You're stabbing the ground with magically acquired regiswords, and this is Sburb, so that's supernatural! Knox's sixth! It is forbidden for accident or intuition to be employed as a detective technique! You're not even searching, you're just hitting the ground randomly!"
With these two declarations, her guns flashed red and delivered a pair of knockback-heavy shotgun blasts that pushed over the offending agent.
"Did you really bring a knife to a gunfight?!" Julie said, barely managing to fly to the side to dodge a thrown regisword that still delivered a cut to the face that dented her health vial severely before a conjured barrier knocked the second attempt away with a cry of "Knox seventh! It is forbidden for the detective to be the culprit!", Noir dancing around her shots like some tap-dancing lunatic. It seemed that the regisword anti-royalty bonus was not to be trifled with, and without Jack Noir playing detective anymore her decalogue bonus was no longer in play, leaving her a flying muse psycho against a grounded knife-wielding psycho. Greaaaat.
"Um, a little help here?" she said, her trump cards almost exhausted. "Ben, you're a godtiered Prince for fuck's sake, do the princely thing and end them!"
Finally managing to clockstopper Jack for a second, her attempt at a shot finish coupled with time attack gears was dodged by a hair as it expired quickly, and the counterattack regisword fling barely countered by the various defensive bonuses of her 'armor', again still dinging her vial, though a chugged lifecake countered at least that fully.
This situation after her assist entry was severely hurting her ARC, and she was again running low on pluck. Not that a timesave would help with everyone tiered...

"You got it!" Ben yelled to Julie, seeing that she was starting to falter.
Ben started summoning glass all around him, forming it into lances, spears, forks, pretty much anything he could think of that was sharp. He began pelting HB and DD with them, and they went down rather quickly.
"Where's CD?" Ben wondered aloud, only to turn around and see CD picking up the ring from across the room.
"No!" Ben yelled, throwing everything he had at the dersite agent, but to no avail. CD slid the ring into his finger, and in a flash of light, he had transformed.
Sueprisingly, most of CD's features had retained themselves. However, he now has cat ears, a gorgeous set of butterfly wings, and sunglasses. He also seemed to be leaking water from somewhere. Seriously, the guy was sopping wet.
Ben backed up in horror as the ringwraith lumbered towards him.

[Clockstopper].
Julie had managed to flashstep free of Noir's attempted stabbing and catch up to the slowly flying ringwraith, and with the last of her remaining pluck bought some time. This did not last too long, seeing as a ringwraith is too strong an enemy to hold paused in time for more than a few seconds. That was where the miniature tornado came in. Conducting furiously with a suddenly physical and suddenly Breath-blue wooden wand as she airstepped towards Ben, she exhausted her second to last big trick flinging a small airblast whirlwind CD's way, blue slowing the advance once red had given out in what looked more like lag than a timestop.
"Uh, retreat or bomb?" Julie asked, extending a hand and readying her last trick, the timetravel gauntlet, as CD readied his weapons after being buffeted. It was either an escape in time or bombing the place for her, unless Ben had any ideas or FC reappeared.

"Bomb." Ben said with a sense of finality. "I'll hold it off while you work on getting everything set up." With that decided, he cast [Dream Weaver], summoning a wall weaved out of wood and bark. "Hurry!" He yelled, "I won't be able to hold them forever!"
Ben rolled to the side as his wall was obliterated by CD-wraith. He threw down a fray motif [The Kids from Red Bank] and began to play. As he played glass constructs appeared around him and began to fight against the Wraith, only to be pummeled into pieces.
Seeing that this tactic wasn't working, Ben stopped playing and cast [What Alice Found]. He imagined a dream that was nothing but terrible candy, playing cards and high yield explosives. Ben hoped that that would do for CD, and trapped him within this dream.
The CD-Wraith began to flutter/run around aimlessly, knocking into the walls and running into the other agents. Ben gritted his teeth, feeling his pluck slowly drain as he tried to keep up the illusion.
"Come on Julie, what's taking so long?" He said to himself.

What was taking Julie so long had been simultaneously arming a large pile of grimoiresplosions and bombs and all sorts of nasty explosive devices to be triggered by one last landmine, which she chucked in the air where it would slowly fall, and drawing a magic flag from her strife specibus, flashstepped to Ben and declared Luminosite Eternelle as she dragged him a few minutes into the future and upward.
Prospit's frosted gold was covered in a black layer of ichorous corruption centered in the crater of a massive eldritch fiery blast that left purple fires burning, primarily in what used to be the royal palace as they timed in inside the safety bubble of a white flag which was quickly beginning to disintegrate even as she continued dragging him away from the burning corrupted remains of a frosty golden city.
"Uh...sorry about that." Julie apologizes. "At least I hope the agents didn't make it."
Meanwhile far away Lillian is making frustrated rainbow cloud noises.
"Do we wanna get RT's dreamself now before they freeze or I'll do it in the past?"

One minute you were fighting for your life and the next minute you were being dragged away by the collar while the palace went up in the background.
"What did you do?" Ben said with a hint of glee in his voice. "That was fantastic!"
"And yes, we should grab RT's dream self. If you feel up to it, would you want to take care of it?"

"Uh, hold on a second. I should probably get them before the eldritch beasts get everywhere."
Leaving the slowly disintegrating flag floating in midair for a second she grabbed her time travel gauntlet and timed into the past, before returning with a sleeping troll dreamself in tow on her back, reclaiming her flag which is increasingly close to just being a pole and routing her flight path to LOTAC so she could stuff it in a magicant entrance she knew about, assuming AN would rather follow than be left in proximity to a pile of corruption probably beginning to grow tentacles but at this point the flag had stopped decaying and started regenerating so he could probably go off if he wanted to.
"I just blew up all the grimoiresplosions I was going to stuff the Underworld with, so I'll have to make more."

AN watched Julie fly off.
Sighing, he jumped into the air and took off in the direction of LOFAM, but not before shooting Julie a quick message. "Hey Julie, this was kinda fun. If you wanna chill sometime, drop by and we'll do a UU or something."

"Noted." she messagesniped back.
While messaging midflight, she also messaged FC to see if she had retrieved inventory yet.

You awoke with a start on Skaia. A massive explosion shook Prospit. You made your way back to your corpse, taking in any and all sights along the way - as per the dictations of Rhyme. A message from TG popped into your view.
You told her that you were taking your time getting there, asking of what you'd missed in the aftermath on Prospit.

A brief report back.
'Prospit's corrupted, don't visit. Got RT's dreamself out, stuffed in magicant. Wraith is dead. Queen is missing, likely survived minus hand, possibly autoexiling due to lunar damage.' she messaged. 'Meet up at my spire? Alchemizing bombs, want Rhyme on hand to help delay reactions to avoid nasty misses incase timestop 2slow. Trying for high sodastack. GLORIOUS!'

You flip a message to TG. Alright, sounds good. I'm on my way.
