STAGE 2 - SIREN'S CALL

[The door opens slowly and the music slowly becomes louder until it stops. Below a dense fog, the silhouette of a human stands, but the shape feels off somehow. It's definitely feminine for sure, standing tall and posing with the devils horns out in front of her chest. As the fog fades, this Creature of Legend, or should I say Caster of Legend reveals itself further. A 7ft tall woman stands before you with a black aura surrounding her head. Black, red, and white makeup covers her face. With a black spike-studded leather jacket, ripped jeans, and a cherry red Les Paul guitar next to her, SCREAM'S ARIA steps out. It speaks... strangely, a cacophony of noise and screamo, which is rather difficult for anyone to understand. It almost sounds like her vocal cords have been irreparably damaged through years of abuse, sounding hoarse and rough. Anytime she speaks, chills run down everyone's spine. To those with sensitive hearing, her speech hurts to listen to.]

[Spider feels Error shudder the moment SCREAM'S ARIA steps out.] "Flora... what happened to you?"

Luna looks like she's seen a ghost, a very tall and angry ghost. Her hands are outstretched in front of her, as if preparing for an offensive spell.

Hinata has her sword out and pointed towards SCREAM'S ARIA.

Viper is frozen in abject horror, not fully understanding what she's looking at, this woman is nothing like she's ever seen in her life

[Viper's DAGGER OF THE AVATARS reacts to SCREAM'S ARIA. There's this odd sense of fear and trepidation coming from it. In fact, Luna, Hinata, and even Chandra seem almost terrified by this CoL's current existence.]

Patrice stands frozen, unsure what to do. A shiver runs through her as she tries to hold steady through the waves of fear washing over her, wanting her to run.

[Just like the DAGGER, even Patrice's REVOLVER OF UNTOLD SECRETS seems scared of what's to come. It's a strange sensation -- intangible at best, but just by holding it, the feeling of fear is felt.]

[Phoebe exhales and transforms. Her normally pudgy old woman body turns into that of a young muscle-bound monk. Her magical ability of "Muscle Magic" is in effect. January has more portals on hand. He seems to be smiling from ear to ear. Chandra summons a large blade from the aether. Oddly, neither January nor Phoebe seem to feel the same fear that everyone else does.]

Spider clutches Error tightly, the fur on her tail bristling thanks to the sheer uncomfortablness of this situation. After taking a deep breath to steady and focus herself Spider eyes Scream's Aria trying to spot any visible weakpoints.

[Other than the cherry red electric guitar SCREAM'S ARIA weilds, you don't see any other weakpoints. Maybe there could be something with the dark aura behind her head as well. Error attempts to scan the Caster, but its red beam of light shrinks back into itself. "No good. I can't scan it. That's... never happened before. How did you do that Flora?!"]

[Upon seeing THE GLITCH BLADE OF ERROR fail its scan, SCREAM'S ARIA grins. In its same rough awful voice, it responds, "you dare attempt to cheat, Error. You know better than that." It picks up its Les Paul and strikes a chord. From it, what looks like a visible quarter note erupts out of it and goes after Luna. With her hands out, a Crystalline wall erects itself and blocks the attack.]

SCREAM'S ARIA smiles. "FINE. You wish to bring me down? Then let us DANCE.” More visible music notes launch out of her guitar. Each note, currently only quarter notes, carries a specific weight to it and perhaps an effect if hit. Music is piped into the speakers as she begins to sing in that same screamo fashion.

PROCEED TO THE FINAL BATTLE - [SCREAM'S ARIA]
