"Well damn, that's a broken-ass boss, Nya~" Meowfunction hovered midair, tail twitching like static, glitching through different animation frames. "And Rhenvar's a healer? Bro was RPing and was support all along. Typical."

Willow was beside her, fire blazing around his boots. He didn't speak, just glared at the monster ahead. His aura burned hotter than hellfire, but there was restraint in it.

"I'll handle the front line," he said at last, voice low. "Stay alive."

"Ooooh, tanky DPS with that crazy flame aura! I can work with this~" Meowfunction chirped, her tail flick-flick-flick.

[BATTLE START]

Calamity turned.

He didn't roar. He didn't emote.

He just moved, a blur of crimson, right to Willow. One second the elf was grounded, the next he was sent flying back as Willow burst into flames.

"NYAAA! What was THAT movement stat?! Boss just skipped the whole attack animation!"

Meowfunction jumped backwards on instinct, popping two glitch-clones into existence.

[Skill: Crazy Cat Eyes x3, Increased Crit Chance]

She and her copies launched plush bunny knives from nowhere. Each one glitched mid-air, giggling as they struck.

Hehe. 

Hehe. 

Hehe.

Nullified.

"Bro's got full immunity scaling? That's just rude," she hissed. "He's too strong, I'm going to complain in the forums later."

Willow exploded from rubble. His eyes were glowing.

"I don't care how strong he is." His hands clenched with embers surrounding him.

He raised his palms to the heavens. Flames spun into his arms, carving lines across the sky. "Fallen embers!"

Calamity shrugged the attack off.

"Pathetic, do you think I don't know magic," Calamity murmured, voice like the grinding stone. "You burn to save this world, heroes. I devour it."

He pointed.

Meowfunction and Willow crashed into the ground under a surge of insane pressure. The road buckled beneath him. Buildings trembled. Gravity stopped behaving.

"Uhhhh… we just got hit with a zone-wide AOE gravity collapse?" Meowfunction shouted, levitating sideways. "This is fine. Totally fine. I'm still at full HP, Nya~!"

Willow gritted his teeth. His flames flickered, dimmed, then reignited, brighter.

He didn't scream.

He stood.

"We have to save them."

Meowfunction flashed beside Calamity, tail spiraling with corrupted data. "Then let's beat this busted-ass Final Boss together!"

They both charged in.

Willow's fists burned hot.

Meowfunction's blades sliced between frames of reality.

Calamity was waiting.

He caught Meowfunction mid-teleport and ripped her in half. A glitch, a clone, popped in corrupted static.

"That was a decoy, loser!" Meowfunction shouted from behind, breathless. "Eat this!"

A digital knife giggled toward Calamity's head.

[Parried.]

Willow struck from above with flames. Calamity blocked the heat. Grabbing Willow through the flames. Slammed him down.

The ground cratered. 

Meowfunction swung at the back of Calamity's legs. 

[Triple Slash Combo] 

One. 

Two. 

Three. 

Calamity back handed Meowfunction. Unaffected by the glitching move.

Willow bleeding. Stood. Burning again.

He hurled a firestorm so dense it melted the glass of nearby buildings.

Calamity walked through it.

"I adapt, I'm the evolution of multiple worlds. My God's perfect creation," he said calmly, almost pitying. "You're not the only one who holds fire."

He raised his hand-

A red sun blinked into existence.

Willow's eyes narrowed.

"Absolute fire? Let's test that!" Willow screamed.

[Willow used passive: Absolute Fire. Description: Thermokinesis, the power to control heat.]

Willow stole his sun and used it as his own. Empowering it. Molding it. Meowfunction watch this amazing mage and his skill.

"Just like that damn fire hero," For the first time Calamity's face looked irritated.

Willow slammed the red fireball into Calamity, shooting him back. 

"Nice! You are really good, Willow!" Meowfunction chirped.

"I don't think that's nearly enough." He gritted his teeth.

"No but it did take 40 HP away, oh… he healed." Calamity roared. As if insulted by Willow's attack.

"Don't let him breathe!" Willow yelled. 

"Now we're talking!"

They charged.

They struck again.

Willow burned Calamity's arm.

Meowfunction stabbed her bunny sword forward. 

[Bypassed immunity for 0.1 seconds.]

It was enough.

The two slammed into Calamity's chest together.

Calamity stumbled back.

A bruise bloomed. Then blood. His face looked surprised. He smiled and looked at them-

He smiled wider.

"Well then," he rumbled, finally amused, as purple blood poured from his wounds and knitted itself shut. "Let's make this fun."

"Nope. That was already the best I've got," Meowfunction whispered.

Willow's fire roared.

"…Then I'll burn, with all my heart!"

"You do you fireboy."
