The wait was over.
Ben had to hurry. All emotions and doubts aside, He cast [Dreams Never Die] to give him an intense buff, all centered around what he was about to do.
He quickly followed by booting up a Fraymotifs he had been saving for this occasion, [It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing].
Catching along to the beat, Ben decided that [The Game Has Changed]. He went berserk.
((Cue cool animated sequence of utter destruction))
The Grid expanded outward, encompassing all Of Prospit and reaching to cover a good portion of one of the Battlefield's hemispheres. Right where the Black Ling happened to be.
Not that the BK mattered anymore. Neither did anything else. The thought that any of his coplayer's might still be down there never crossed his mind. They were as ants are to a human- puny and insignificant. The only thing that was being processed in Ben's head was the thought of pure annihilation. And he was going to be in complete control of it. He grabbed the chain connecting the two small golden planetoids together and began swinging them like a bola, while glass constructs of all natures began to rain down onto the battlefield.
They tore through the surrounding area, taking down anything the moved, demolishing everything in sight, and kept the BK right where Ben wanted him. Ben waited for just the right moment specified in FC's countdown while the world ended below him,
All the while, he was swinging Prospit and its Moon, faster and faster and faster.

You and RT had strategically and anticlimactically collected everyone of importance and portalled them out. You watch and wait for the incoming end to the hellstorm of glass dreams and incoming gold, all centered on the Black King of Derse and everything around him.

The End had Come at Last.
Ben's clock hit zero hour, and he shouted "AND THUS I BRING DOWN THE MOON"
Taking aim, he released his grip on the bola that once was Prospit. Not knowing if his friends were safe, he hurled the moon with all his might, and with perfect aim, the golden spheres collided with the Black King.
The World had Ended.
He had brought Down the Moon.
Skaia shook, and every construct, carapace, glass monstrosity and building dissolved into showers of golden flame. The King too was incinerated, with only his staff remaining, smoldering in the center of what was once the battlefield, and entire side of the planet having been blown to pieces.
The Game had, in fact, been changed, and Ben was released from the influence of the Grid, feeling mortal once more.
He saw a shower of gold, heard an angelic voice, and knew no more.

Seeing it would buy the session more time before decaying to get AN out of the way of the Genesis Frog flying out of the Forge as a matter of good play, once the Prince had stopped berserking you picked him up and brought him over to everyone else while the fireworks went off.
The Door had been preemptively cordoned off with a brick wall you had alchemized on the way to making the towers so nobody accidentally took the replay before absolutely necessary and you left that fuck alone, assuming everyone else would too. You blocked the blue sphere of betrayal in doorknob form anyway to prevent anyone leaving your sphere of influence for one last request.
"Alright," you said in your best not-going-to-kill-you-if-you-go-along-with-this voice. "so, uh, you guys mentioned a party before we go? Kind of want to get everyone's non-replaying inventory delivered to a friend for...reasons."

Ben woke up laying on a platform. He felt fucked up. Probably looked it too.
He saw everyone standing over by a large brick wall that he assumed was blocking The Door.
Nervously walking up to the babble of conversation, he interrupted. "Uh, yo."

Mica fought tooth and nail against the Black King and his underlings. Like with any finishing move, they'd have to make sure the boss was significantly weakened before the moon dropped, or it'd fail to kill him--or do much of anything, really. It was ridiculous to think, that dropping a moon on someone wasn't guaranteed to kill them if they weren't already near the end of their rope, but that was Sburb for you. Then, once the word was given, he jumped through one of RT's portals, floating in the Medium a safe distance from Skaia to watch the big finale. The moon drop was pretty impressive to see, but it wasn't that surprising that AN was able to pull it off given his title. Delivering the final blow to the Black King was possibly the single most ARC-boosting action a Prince could take, coupled with the Dreams ARC bonus from using such a creative weapon.
And then, just like that, everything was over, and they were on the victory platform... but the door was blocked off? He shifted defensively, looking with alarm at TG. Was this it? Had LC's control slipped, or had her disinterest in having TG kill everyone changed? He should've known she couldn't be trus--
Oh. The party thing? That was all she wanted? Jesus, why go block off the door just for something like that? They would've stayed long enough. "...I'd be fine with hanging around long enough to celebrate. I have some things I want to drop off with Fred, anyways," he said, still a little suspicious of TG.

Despite your normal better judgement, you knew your rhyme abilities would be able to stop Julie from killing everyone, so you readily handed her the items you had on hand. "I assume the friend is Lillian or Fred?" you asked. You finished your sentence taking note of AN. "Hey AN, welcome to the party."

"Umm Hello." Ben responded to FC. "I'm totally down for a party. I have also taken the conveinience of having everything directly shipped to you, one of my glass minions is working on it as we speak."
It was a shame, thought Ben, that he had learned how to properly use Dreams so late into the session. Oh well. He had made a fairly decent crater and got to look really cool. And his ARC was actually happy with him for once.
"Anyone want drinks?" He asked, hoping to get the party started. "No alcohol, I promise."
He then summoned an assortment of beakers, tea cups, tumblers and quaiches, which promptly began to fill with Ben's own specialty drinks. "Take a sip, they're really good. And Mica, I prepared some poison for you as well. They're in the tankards over yonder," he said, gesturing slightly to the right for Mica's sake.

"Yup, it's the squid weeaboo himself." you say without any real issue. "And yes, so taking a drink."
You grab one of the ones that doesn't include rocket fuel, because hell yeah.
Offering a selection of empty captchalogue cards from your wallet for everyone to dump that which they couldn't take with them but could easily dispose of here for those who hadn't had to alchemize more inventory slots, you picked up some inventories to hand off to Fred. "Think I'll stick around for the party first then drop. Mica, you up for seeing a big squid up close and personal with the aura suppressed?"

"I dunno, AN, last time you handed me a bottle I ended up drunk..." Mica said, uncertainly eyeing the proffered drinks. ...Eh, what the heck, they'd just won the game; this would be his last chance to drink poison and enjoy it. He grabbed a tankard and took a sip.
He blinked at TG's mention of the "squid weaboo." Meet Fred? Like... now? He flushed slightly, suddenly nervous about the idea. He hadn't thought he'd meet Fred in the flesh for a while now, he'd been expecting to have time to prepare himself! But... but that didn't mean he didn't want to. "U-um... Yeah, I'll go with you," he said.

"That's settled then" Ben said as he began ejecting his stuff. "Umm don't judge, I had some Dream shenanigans"
Laying on the ground in front of him was an assortment of objects, least of all being a tire iron, a baby doll, an assortment of trumpets, a ceiling fan, a dead goat and a watermelon.
"Have fun with this junk." Ben said as he took another swig from his beaker, enjoying the weird but oddly good taste of peach-plum-citrus going down his throat.

Shoving the modern art chaos in front of you into your sylladex with little more than a shrug and a drink, and with the last of alchemized inventories to collect collected (besides the person coming to visit) you take away the brick wall that was more symbolic than anything, and began to float off.
"Eh," you say, "I'm not really a party girl, you all look too tasty to just chat with. Gonna go see if my employer's friend is already here. Should be out a little past Derse since most terrors are gonna go straight for the frog from top or bottom in a few days, anyone coming with let's go already."

"Actually, TG, since I'll probably never see an Other in person without bleeding corruption, is it cool if I come along? I won't stay or anything, but I can't pass up this chance to see. Plus Fred's pretty chill." Ben babbled as he flew on behind TG.
While he did want to see Fred, the main reason he followed along was because he wasn't exactly ready to give up his powers just yet. Why was it he finally became good at Dreams when the session was just nearing its end?
Sighing, Ben flew along behind TG.

The Muse dismissed 556 back to the strata and lead the flight to the outer band of the session. She was not talkative, since there was nothing much to say.
The relative darkness-imposing effect of the Furthest Ring was pierced by a nuclear candle the shining radiance of the bluish white Eiserne Jungfrau barrier cast as a promised ward against the aura as you raised your arms. It was to a frog as a pap is to a hug for guarding and purging Others corruption respectively without the corruption of angels, but it was a contribution. And Fred was being nice anyways.
"Yo." you said into the darkness as the giant mass of tentacles and eyes and maws and forms that were traditionally really damn hard to describe without descending into arcane topology neared the barrier. "<Same as always, main body for the big show?>" you said in a rather neutral broodfester tone, arms still raised and providing extra power to the round blue barrier encircling the team like a defensive buff. You merited only a deep grunt in response, but even that was something between a bass drop, whalesong, and shepard tones running in different directions.
Then you lowered them to grab your wallet, pull out a separated pile of cards consisting of the inventories you were gonna hand over, and chucked it at him. The barrier faded a little when you lowered your arms, but it held even as a bunch of cards warped through it, and brightened again when you put your arms back into the industry standard barrier maiden pose. Anime as it gets.
Fred caught them effortlessly with an abstraction tentacle without even raising any of the flagella-things on his main body. Two of the bigger ones on opposite sides pantomimed shrugging as the larger beak marking a more solid 'front' to the shifting thing opened slightly. Then he noticed the group behind and slowly began to rotate nervously before catching himself and realigning to the relative horizontal when seeing Mica among it, then one of the smaller tentacles beaktentacled at a smaller beak as a few eyes rolled on sight of a certain AN.
"Hi." a discontinuous troll popped out from behind sometentacle and waved, speaking in whatever passed for Sburban English. One of Fred's servitors, albeit troll-model rather than human-model. "This is the larger me. Nice to meet you all. Why is AN all angely like that?"
Julie broke her barrier maiden pose for a moment just to facepalm, but then returned to it for appearances' sake and settled for an eyeroll.

"I'm sorry, what? What do you mean, Angely? Shit I didn't dream about those guys again did I???"
In a mild panic Ben spun around a few times to make sure glass wings had not grown out of his back. Upon further inspection, they were not, and Ben, satisfied, returned to the conversation.
"Anyway, it's nice to meet you Fred." He said as he held out a hand to the vessel of the god.
