"We'll need to figure out how to beat them as soon as possible.", Atlas the Dragapult brings up with this fight against all of Team Infamy at the villainous team's full power beginning now, "None of them can get hurt normally from what I've heard after all." "For Exo, we need to get inside of him while he is in a size increased state.", Styx the gigantic hornet queen does know at least about that, with Jiyakins the Celebi letting them know: "And B1nary can be hurt by water, she let that slip while we were Team Infamy's captives!" "Y-Yay, we know half of what we need to know...", Celestino says about that. "Hey uhh Exo?", Yurei tries to make progress right away, "Who do you think is the taller Beedrill of the two of us?" "Oh, you wanna see size? I'll show you size hahaha!!", Exo answers that before making himself turn gigantic, making Gyges remark: "Good thing Exo isn't the smartest of them." Before the good guys continue though, the bad guys get to attacking by themselves.
Exo tries to stab Celestino with his needle arm, which with that current size would absolutely be instant death if successful, though the shy Celebi boy manages to dodge out of the way with an almost dance-like movement, Exo commenting on that: "What the hell was that move? And why did it work??", as Celestino realizes the ion he is secretive about towards his siblings could actually be useful in this fight, even if just for staying alive. The villainous digital looking Celebi B1nary is taking out a remote control with which she literally pauses Ampere, since that electric Snivy is the reason they can't just end it quickly with Laser's properties. At least this move of hers only works against one at a time, though Styx reacts quickly so as Laser silently cackles about this turn of events, the hornet queen grabs the Pikachu made out of concentrated light. She is capable of physically interacting with him thanks to her own invulnerabiltiy after all. "Crap!", Bloody Mary doesn't like this, "Styx can do power supression while she has a hold of someone. We gotta get Laser out of her claws.", with Exo adding: "Or just kill everyone and leave Styx to witness the vanity of her attempts."
"Alright, Styx... you're invulnerable, huh?", the blood and wound covered Shinvy Eevee then says, "But your reflection isn't. Because she's in my domain, hehehe...", then summoning a big mirror for Styx's reflection to be there and manipulating the mirror image for the reflection of Styx to get damaged, which in turn ends up actually hurting the real Styx too, bying the hornet queen's invulnerability through the mirror dimension. Though she keeps a tight grip on Laser, knowing that if Laser gets to do his thing, they'll be pretty much doomed, as the only one able to keep up with him to get in his way is paused right now.
Atlas now just attempts to use his ability to phase through solid things to get inside of Exo that way but it turns out the currently giant Beedrill's body was made in a way to prevent the solution from being this simple. "Aw man.", the Dragapult disapproves. Yurei understands: "Looks like we have to get inside Exo through an actual opening... Hm, assuming nobody wants to enter through the other end, we gotta get that mask off his face." "On it!", Jiyakins responds, using her ability to fly to get up there and get the mask off the skeletal Beedrill's face. Meanwhile Styx understands she has to get her people involved somewhat, now commanding the hornets of her hive to get water to use against B1nary who reacts to them getting ready to exploit her weakness: "D0n't th1nk 1t's g0nna be that easy! 0ur attacks w1ll end y0u bef0re y0u can even defeat just 0ne 0f us!" Exo tries attacking Jiyakins with his massive stinger, though Celestino quickly creates his Celestial Shield to protect his sister. It does keep her safe this time, though with how devastating it would have been, it does break the protective barrier in the process too. B1nary fires a beam made out of ones and zeroes, aiming it at Ampere since she has no way of dodging while being paused, though Yurei quickly gets in the way to take the hit instead, having to acknowledge afterwards: "These guys hit strong... Try to avoid getting hit however possible, guys!"
While Laser tries to get out of Styx's grip, Bloody Mary makes the mirror she summoned break into pieces and since Styx was reflected in it, the hornet queen takes a lot of damage from that too. Styx realizes that she has to figure out some way to counter Bloody Mary's use of the mirror dimension, considering that Styx herself is evidently an important asset to this fight with her abilities as of now. Atlas just repeatedly tries smacking Bloody Mary with the shepherd's crook he had copied earlier, complaining: "How dare you hurt my queen? How dare you? How dare you??", though she can easily avoid getting hit by using mirrors she summons like portals, even though she probably wouldn't even need to dodge.
Jiyakins understands: "We need to defeat B1nary really fast... Styx isn't gonna be able to keep Laser at bay for much longer with how much Bloody Mary already damaged her." "Defeating B1nary should unpause Ampere, so that Ampere can keep us safe against how fast and dangerous Laser is.", Yurei agrees. Thankfully, the hornets of the hive are now arriving, carrying plenty of buckets of water. Styx gives a slight smirk at seeing this, finally a turn for the better in this tricky fight.
Bloody Mary tries to use her mirror portals to keep B1nary safe from the water as much as she can, but the human-sized hornets on the side of their opposition have the advantage of being very high in numbers, too many for Bloody Mary to protect B1nary from all at once, so B1nary inevitably starts getting lots of damage from all the water used against her now. But then B1nary summons big hypnotizing screens. Realizing the bad potential of that, Styx quickly orders her people to get away and telling the other good guys in the fight to avoid looking at those screens. Once the good guys would start attacking each other under the influence of hypnosis, chances are gonna become even slimmer of getting through this after all, and having a bunch of human-sized hornets attacking them under that influence would definitely make it much harder too. "I'll take care of this.", Gyges remarks before flying towards where the hornets live.
Yurei tries to get inside Exo's mouth, telling him: "Come on, talk to me.", with Exo saying: "I'll crush your bones and lick up your remains, hahaha!" It turns out to be difficult to get inside Exo's mouth with the movements from talking alone though. But Yurei has an idea, provoking more verbal interaction: "Have you ever done that with anyone before?" "Oh sure, there was that one time when-" Yurei, being a Beedrill with some Marshadow genes in him, gets into the shadow from underneath the gigantic villain's tongue and getting in his mouth that way, where Yurei then comes out of the shadow again. Realizing he was just tricked again, Exo complains: "Heyyy!", and Yurei exclaims: "Geronimo!", before hopping down the skeletal looking Beedrill's throat.
Bloody Mary already summons another big mirror to get Styx's reflection once again but this time Atlas uses his superstrength to pin that mirror onto the ground so that it doesn't reflect the hornet queen anymore, then smashing it with the copied shepherd's crook. "I won't let you hurt her any more than you already have!" "Alright, you gotta go first then.", Bloody Mary reacts to that, making the remaining mirror shards now all fly towards and through Atlas, but he quickly activates his phasing ability for it to not do any harm to him. Now the blood and wound covered Shiny Eevee just looks annoyed.
"I g0t y0u, Bl00dy Mary.", B1nary says, making one of the hypnotizing screens drop down directly in front of the Dragapult who quickly turns away, only for B1nary to completely surround him with those screens. This leaves Atlas no better choice than to close his eyes. "Thanks. Now I can take care of Styx, I suggest you deal with that ex space warrior so that he doesn't get in my way again." "Th-This is baaaad...", Celestino notes. Jiyakins tries to use Gaia's Core aka her terraforming power to make it more difficult for B1nary to even get to Atlas, but the digital looking Celebi throws CDs with edges so sharp, they cut right through the terrain in her way. Meanwhile Yurei crawls through Exo's insides, having to pretty much fight his way through the obstacles he faces in there, for which he does make use of his shadow diving ability when needing to get through otherwise physically too narrow spaces. "Huh...", Yurei remarks: "This guy got mechanic parts inside of him even while being mostly biological... interesting." But then the currently smaller Beedrill has to face mechanic walls directly in his way, which even his shadow-related ability can't get him through. It is however labeled with a body part... Yurei quickly understands, shouting to his allies outside of Exo's body: "Hey guys, one of you aim your attack at Exo's stinger, please!"
First of all Exo tries to crush Jiyakins and Celestino by simply letting his massive body drop down onto them, but Celestino quickly grabs a hold of his sister's hands and makes her dance out of the way with him. Afterwards, the shy dancer boy remarks: "Y-Yeah, I know... kind of a weird way to go about fighting..." "Are you kidding me??", Jiyakins however sees that differently, "That was awesome!" "It... It was?" Even Styx lets him know: "Dancing and fighting have surprisingly much in common. If you can dance... you got to let that skill translate into a fighting skill if it comes to a battle." Celestino is all flustered but smiles in response, blushing some as he tells them: "Th-Thank youuu...", finally not feeling so insecure about his ion anymore, with how useful it turns out to be here. And judging by Laser's expression on his face, he is merely annoyed that Celestino can avoid attacks so gracefully, so even the bad guys aren't making fun of him for it.
B1nary attempts to strangle Atlas with cables, though he can hear her approaching and can therefore manage to make the cables phase right through him instead. He then smacks the digital looking white and light grey Celebi with the shepherd's crook, since where she attacked from gave away her current position. But B1nary isn't done, flying to attack from a different direction and then aiming electric shocks at the Dragapult but he can again get out of the way just by hearing where she is. Even when she sends mice made out of code to attack the Dragon and Ghost Type Pokémon but he avoids getting hit the same way once more. "H0w the hell are y0u s0 g00d at th1s?? Y0u can't even see anyth1ng r1ght n0w!" Atlas grins and sticks out his tongue to her just to mock her before answering: "Space warrior training." B1nary just groans in exasperation.
Meanwhile Jiyakins aims her powerful attacks right at Exo's stinger. While that doesn't really damage this big guy, the wall inside of him that was in the way now opens up for Yurei to progress... though there's another mechanic wall right afterwards, so that Yurei shouts based on how it's labeled: "Left wing!" So as Celestino helps Jiyakins through the use of flight and dance avoid Exo's next attack of sending a wave of poisonous liquid towards them, Jiyakins continues her attacks by aiming at Exo's left wing next, taking care of another barrier in Yurei's way. "Stop dancing!", Exo just complains, "You're too good at that!"
Bloody Mary summons another big mirror in order to be able to hurt Styx, though this time making sure to hold it in place with her powers, so that even though Styx now tries to move it to face away, it's not moving a single millimeter. "Now I got you.", Bloody Mary grins evilly, summoning even more huge mirrors, just so that Styx can't simply get out of the mirror's "view", just so that wherever Styx would move to now, there'd be a reflection in at least one of those mirrors. Styx does it: "I know why I never underestimated you... I just wish you could be fighting on our side. You are exceptionally powerful... in a way that even Cronus might struggle against you, if you make full use of your potential." "Well, Spoiler Alert, I'm in of Cronus.", Bloody Mary says to that, "But of course, he'd have no chance against us, Team Infamy, nobody does. And this fight will show it, haha!", the villainous Shiny Eevee now making the mirrors with Styx's reflection all crack, causing so much damage to the gigantic hornet queen that she falls onto the floor, actually defeated... which now allows Laser to get out of her power suppressing grip. "Finally.", Bloody Mary comments on this turn of events, "And she was the biggest obstacle too. The rest of this will be EASY!"
"Styx!", Atlas heard that and even though B1nary thinks that makes him distracted, he ends up still being able to pay attention to fight and continue avoiding her attacks, all while he repeatedly smacks her with the shepherd's crook. Seeing Laser free makes Celestino state: "W-We need to defeat B1nary! Right now!!" "I'm back!", they hear Gyges who carries an entire bathtub full of water and - while Atlas makes sure to keep B1nary in place and Jiyakins using her terraforming to slow down Bloody Mary enough to not interfere - pours it all right onto the digital looking Celebi. That was enough to now get B1nary defeated, which in turn causes the hypnotizing screens to disappear and Ampere to finally be unpaused.
"Fuck!", Bloody Mary doesn't like this, "Laser, attack NOW!!" But when Laser attempts to make use of his extremely high speed and dangerous to touch body, Ampere can get in the way once again. Bloody Mary growls before telling the good guys: "Oh yeah? We got your strongest ally defeated, you've only got one of us down!" Now that Laser can be handled by Ampere, Jiyakins can focus her attacks on Exo again, asking: "Yurei, where to hit next??", while Celestino lets Atlas know: "Uhh... y-you can open your eyes again, you know?" "Oh, right.", Atlas realizes this, opening his eyes before immediately checking on Styx.
"Right foot!", Yurei shouts, so Jiyakins aims there next, all while Celestino helps her dodge Exo's attacks. The defeated Styx tells the Dragapult checking on her: "Atlas... You must not let Team Infamy win this fight... It's not over yet." Then Atlas turns to look at Bloody Mary, looking veeeery displeased about the fact that it was her who hurt Styx to the point of defeat. "Awww.", the blood and wound covered Shiny Eevee just provokes him, "Did I hurt your beloved queen? Come on, you would never have had a chance to be with her anyway. Heh... maybe I should outright kill her now, that'll help you to move on, surely." "Okay, you're asking for it.", Atlas takes the provocation and charges at her, though she makes him miss with the use of mirror portals. Meanwhile Ampere keeps preventing Laser from killing her siblings, but has to acknowledge the fact that as much as that's a good thing, they still have no idea how they could possibly actually hurt this Pikachu made out of red concentrated light. Atlas notices how the thing between Ampere and Laser isn't going anywhere, making the Dragapult suggest: "Have you tried hitting him while you're faster than him? Speed is a huge thing about him after all.", as Gyges s Atlas against Bloody Mary because of how much of a threat this particular Eevee is.
"Left antenna, please!", Jiyakins can hear from inside Exo's body, so after avoiding another one of the gigantic skeletal looking bee's attacks thanks to Celestino's help, she hits Exo's left antenna with her attacks too. "Alright, that's it!", Yurei can let them know, being able to access some kind of... control center? The intelligent good guy Beedrill can quickly understand that he can manipulate Exo's stats with it. So without any further hesitation, Exo's defensive and offensive stats as well as his HP get put all the way to just one, before Yurei exclaims: "Now you can hurt him!" So Jiyakins does exactly that, defeating Exo instantly now for the giant bee to fall onto the ground, with Yurei thankfully managing to get out in time before Exo's size changes back to normal. Wouldn't want to still be inside there by that point.
"Hah!", Atlas remarks, "Now two of you are down! And third one following soon." "To be fair.", Bloody Mary notes, "Exo is kind of the weakest of us. Just takes a lot of steps to get past his defense.", then trying the same reflection trick with Atlas and Gyges, but Jiyakins notices and quickly terraforms their surroundings for their reflections to no longer be visible, right before Bloody Mary breaks those mirrors. "Ugh.", this villainess disapproves, "Look, you just make it more annoying for me. You know you can't beat me, so I'll eventually tire you out and then kill you." "She's not wrong...", Celestino notes, "W-We have no idea how to possibly damage her... and she already managed to take down Styx..." Ampere tries to move faster than light, though it's obviously really difficult to get higher than that speed. Some might even say it's impossible, but science has always disproven previously established rules of how things work, including things figured out by earlier science.
Bloody Mary sends mirror shards in all directions, with Jiyakins again having to make use of her terraforming capabilities to protect everyone from that. "Alright, that makes you the next biggest nuisance now.", the villainous Shiny Eevee responds to this. But then Ampere does finally manage to get her speed to be even higher, so she does as Atlas suggested, tackling the Laserchu while she is in a state even faster than him. And as a matter of fact, he does seem to get damage from that. "Now we're talking!", Ampere exclaims, glad to see this idea working. Meanwhile Bloody Mary... snickers evilly, bringing up: "You know what a mirror can do, right? It... reflects, in other words, imitates, copies, what it sees.", then showing that she can suddenly terraform the surroundings just like Jiyakins, as a way to reveal her "mirroring" that particular move. "Oh no.", Jiyakins appropriately reacts to that.
At least Laser gets defeated not much later, considering the battle between him and Ampere happens at an insanely high speed, so that she very soon hit him often enough while outspeeding him that he is knocked out. Bloody Mary repeats her mirror shard attack, but this time also countering the terraforming attempt of Jiyakins by basically undoing everything she does, managing to hit and damage almost everyone that way, with the exception of Atlas who lets it phase through him and Ampere who can easily dodge with her high speed. "Oh yeah.", Bloody Mary remarks, "Now you're fucked." But Yurei jumps into her shadow and outright pulls her into it along with him. Though that just ends with a then defeated Yurei getting thrown out of the shadow before Bloody Mary reappears through the use of a mirror portal.
"S-So... what do we now?...", Celestino comments on their complete lack of any plan how to deal with Team Infamy's leader. Atlas has an idea though: "Light...", then exclaiming it for everyone to hear: "Mirrors need light to work!" Jiyakins immediately understands what's needed to do, though someone should keep Bloody Mary distracted so that the Shiny Eevee can't just immediately undo it before the plan gets to work, so she tells the others on her side: "Everyone, attack Bloody Mary, now!" So Gyges now makes his own shepherd's crook covered with rock in a way that it becomes shaped like an axe, with Atlas noticing that and remarking: "Oh, cool.", before he imitates that with the copy he made of it. Gyges strikes at Bloody Mary with the rock axe, though as she dodges that with her mirror portals, Ampere manages to hit her due to being much faster than her. In response to that, Bloody Mary quickly understands that she needs to attack from a more unexpected direction to be able to hit someone that fast. So she manipulates Ampere's reflection in Celestino's eyes to get her immediately defeated. "Reflections are everywhere.", Bloody Mary points out with a grin, "Can't escape that. But alright, let's stop wasting time, hehehe..."
Bloody Mary then begins to summon a mirror with which she intends to cover the entire battlefield. Obviously, if she succeeds with that, she has practically won, since she can manipulate anything that is reflected in it. So Gyges and Atlas make use of their identifical weapons to break that big mirror before its completion. Bloody Mary tries to attack Gyges with her mirror shards, though Celestino protects him with one of his protective barriers. But that just makes Bloody Mary use a mirror portal to get right onto the other side of that barrier to then using her own claws and fangs to attack Celestino. She does that so mercilessly that Celestino is soon defeated as well, covered with bite and scratch marks. When she then sees Gyges approaching her, she summons another mirror to use his reflection in order to make him hit himself with the rock axe, so he quickly makes it turn back into just a sturdy shepherd's crook. Atlas quickly pushes Gyges out of the way of the mirror's view, though Bloody Mary isn't finished, just summoning another mirror to reflect Gyges, which she then breaks to cause massive damage and get even someone as strong as this royal panda ant defeated, making only Jiyakins and Atlas be left fighting.
But that's all they need. With Bloody Mary's attention being on hitting and defeating everyone in her immediate surroundings, Jiyakins gets the chance to catch her off-guard enough to use the terraforming in order to lock Bloody Mary into a newly made room of stone so tightly sealed that no light whatsoever can still get inside. Bloody Mary gotta at least try though, attempting to simply summon another mirror to use as a portal to get out of there but... without any light in here, it's not gonna work. There's nothing to reflect. "It works!", Jiyakins exclaims as Atlas remarks: "Leave the rest to me."
The Dragapult phases through the walls to get to Bloody Mary. Of course, she tries to attack him, but as we've seen, Atlas can really pretty well even when he can't see anything, while Bloody Mary is currently having no access to any advantage other than being almost impossible to kill. But killing isn't the goal for Atlas here, especially since his space warrior training also taught him not to kill unless absolutely neccessary, he just simply defeats her for the battle and therefore the current threat to end. After that, Jiyakins can let Bloody Mary out of the complete darkness, as she is too defeated to attack any of them right now.

Because she's in my domain, hehehe...", then summoning a big mirror for Styx's reflection to be there and manipulating the mirror image for the reflection of Styx to get damaged, which in turn ends up actually hurting the real Styx too, bying the hornet queen's invulnerability through the mirror dimension. Though she keeps a tight grip on Laser, knowing that if Laser gets to do his thing, they'll be pretty much doomed, as the only one able to keep up with him to get in his way is paused right now.
Atlas now just attempts to use his ability to phase through solid things to get inside of Exo that way but it turns out the currently giant Beedrill's body was made in a way to prevent the solution from being this simple.

"I'll take care of this.", Gyges remarks before flying towards where the hornets live.
Yurei tries to get inside Exo's mouth, telling him: "Come on, talk to me.", with Exo saying: "I'll crush your bones and lick up your remains, hahaha!" It turns out to be difficult to get inside Exo's mouth with the movements from talking alone though. But Yurei has an idea, provoking more verbal interaction: "Have you ever done that with anyone before?"

This leaves Atlas no better choice than to close his eyes. "Thanks. Now I can take care of Styx, I suggest you deal with that ex space warrior so that he doesn't get in my way again." "Th-This is baaaad...", Celestino notes. Jiyakins tries to use Gaia's Core aka her terraforming power to make it more difficult for B1nary to even get to Atlas, but the digital looking Celebi throws CDs with edges so sharp, they cut right through the terrain in her way. Meanwhile Yurei crawls through Exo's insides, having to pretty much fight his way through the obstacles he faces in there, for which he does make use of his shadow diving ability when needing to get through otherwise physically too narrow spaces. "Huh...", Yurei remarks: "This guy got mechanic parts inside of him even while being mostly biological... interesting."

First of all Exo tries to crush Jiyakins and Celestino by simply letting his massive body drop down onto them, but Celestino quickly grabs a hold of his sister's hands and makes her dance out of the way with him. Afterwards, the shy dancer boy remarks: "Y-Yeah, I know... kind of a weird way to go about fighting..." "Are you kidding me??", Jiyakins however sees that differently, "That was awesome!" "It... It was?" Even Styx lets him know: "Dancing and fighting have surprisingly much in common. If you can dance... you got to let that skill translate into a fighting skill if it comes to a battle."

Y0u can't even see anyth1ng r1ght n0w!" Atlas grins and sticks out his tongue to her just to mock her before answering: "Space warrior training." B1nary just groans in exasperation.
Meanwhile Jiyakins aims her powerful attacks right at Exo's stinger. While that doesn't really damage this big guy, the wall inside of him that was in the way now opens up for Yurei to progress... though there's another mechanic wall right afterwards, so that Yurei shouts based on how it's labeled: "Left wing!" So as Celestino helps Jiyakins through the use of flight and dance avoid Exo's next attack of sending a wave of poisonous liquid towards them, Jiyakins continues her attacks by aiming at Exo's left wing next, taking care of another barrier in Yurei's way. "Stop dancing!", Exo just complains, "You're too good at that!"
Bloody Mary summons another big mirror in order to be able to hurt Styx, though this time making sure to hold it in place with her powers, so that even though Styx now tries to move it to face away, it's not moving a single millimeter. "Now I got you.", Bloody Mary grins evilly, summoning even more huge mirrors, just so that Styx can't simply get out of the mirror's "view", just so that wherever Styx would move to now, there'd be a reflection in at least one of those mirrors. Styx does it: "I know why I never underestimated you... I just wish you could be fighting on our side. You are exceptionally powerful... in a way that even Cronus might struggle against you, if you make full use of your potential." "Well, Spoiler Alert, I'm in of Cronus.", Bloody Mary says to that, "But of course, he'd have no chance against us, Team Infamy, nobody does. And this fight will show it, haha!", the villainous Shiny Eevee now making the mirrors with Styx's reflection all crack, causing so much damage to the gigantic hornet queen that she falls onto the floor, actually defeated... which now allows Laser to get out of her power suppressing grip. "Finally.", Bloody Mary comments on this turn of events, "And she was the biggest obstacle too. The rest of this will be EASY!"
"Styx!", Atlas heard that and even though B1nary thinks that makes him distracted, he ends up still being able to pay attention to fight and continue avoiding her attacks, all while he repeatedly smacks her with the shepherd's crook. Seeing Laser free makes Celestino state: "W-We need to defeat B1nary! Right now!!" "I'm back!", they hear Gyges who carries an entire bathtub full of water and - while Atlas makes sure to keep B1nary in place and Jiyakins using her terraforming to slow down Bloody Mary enough to not interfere - pours it all right onto the digital looking Celebi. That was enough to now get B1nary defeated, which in turn causes the hypnotizing screens to disappear and Ampere to finally be unpaused.
"Fuck!", Bloody Mary doesn't like this, "Laser, attack NOW!!" But when Laser attempts to make use of his extremely high speed and dangerous to touch body, Ampere can get in the way once again. Bloody Mary growls before telling the good guys: "Oh yeah? We got your strongest ally defeated, you've only got one of us down!" Now that Laser can be handled by Ampere, Jiyakins can focus her attacks on Exo again, asking: "Yurei, where to hit next??", while Celestino lets Atlas know: "Uhh... y-you can open your eyes again, you know?" "Oh, right.", Atlas realizes this, opening his eyes before immediately checking on Styx.
"Right foot!", Yurei shouts, so Jiyakins aims there next, all while Celestino helps her dodge Exo's attacks. The defeated Styx tells the Dragapult checking on her: "Atlas... You must not let Team Infamy win this fight... It's not over yet." Then Atlas turns to look at Bloody Mary, looking veeeery displeased about the fact that it was her who hurt Styx to the point of defeat. "Awww.", the blood and wound covered Shiny Eevee just provokes him, "Did I hurt your beloved queen? Come on, you would never have had a chance to be with her anyway. Heh... maybe I should outright kill her now, that'll help you to move on, surely." "Okay, you're asking for it.", Atlas takes the provocation and charges at her, though she makes him miss with the use of mirror portals. Meanwhile Ampere keeps preventing Laser from killing her siblings, but has to acknowledge the fact that as much as that's a good thing, they still have no idea how they could possibly actually hurt this Pikachu made out of red concentrated light. Atlas notices how the thing between Ampere and Laser isn't going anywhere, making the Dragapult suggest: "Have you tried hitting him while you're faster than him? Speed is a huge thing about him after all.", as Gyges s Atlas against Bloody Mary because of how much of a threat this particular Eevee is.
"Left antenna, please!", Jiyakins can hear from inside Exo's body, so after avoiding another one of the gigantic skeletal looking bee's attacks thanks to Celestino's help, she hits Exo's left antenna with her attacks too. "Alright, that's it!", Yurei can let them know, being able to access some kind of... control center? The intelligent good guy Beedrill can quickly understand that he can manipulate Exo's stats with it. So without any further hesitation, Exo's defensive and offensive stats as well as his HP get put all the way to just one, before Yurei exclaims: "Now you can hurt him!" So Jiyakins does exactly that, defeating Exo instantly now for the giant bee to fall onto the ground, with Yurei thankfully managing to get out in time before Exo's size changes back to normal. Wouldn't want to still be inside there by that point.
"Hah!", Atlas remarks, "Now two of you are down! And third one following soon." "To be fair.", Bloody Mary notes, "Exo is kind of the weakest of us. Just takes a lot of steps to get past his defense.", then trying the same reflection trick with Atlas and Gyges, but Jiyakins notices and quickly terraforms their surroundings for their reflections to no longer be visible, right before Bloody Mary breaks those mirrors. "Ugh.", this villainess disapproves, "Look, you just make it more annoying for me. You know you can't beat me, so I'll eventually tire you out and then kill you." "She's not wrong...", Celestino notes, "W-We have no idea how to possibly damage her... and she already managed to take down Styx..." Ampere tries to move faster than light, though it's obviously really difficult to get higher than that speed. Some might even say it's impossible, but science has always disproven previously established rules of how things work, including things figured out by earlier science.
Bloody Mary sends mirror shards in all directions, with Jiyakins again having to make use of her terraforming capabilities to protect everyone from that. "Alright, that makes you the next biggest nuisance now.", the villainous Shiny Eevee responds to this. But then Ampere does finally manage to get her speed to be even higher, so she does as Atlas suggested, tackling the Laserchu while she is in a state even faster than him. And as a matter of fact, he does seem to get damage from that. "Now we're talking!", Ampere exclaims, glad to see this idea working. Meanwhile Bloody Mary... snickers evilly, bringing up: "You know what a mirror can do, right? It... reflects, in other words, imitates, copies, what it sees.", then showing that she can suddenly terraform the surroundings just like Jiyakins, as a way to reveal her "mirroring" that particular move. "Oh no.", Jiyakins appropriately reacts to that.
At least Laser gets defeated not much later, considering the battle between him and Ampere happens at an insanely high speed, so that she very soon hit him often enough while outspeeding him that he is knocked out. Bloody Mary repeats her mirror shard attack, but this time also countering the terraforming attempt of Jiyakins by basically undoing everything she does, managing to hit and damage almost everyone that way, with the exception of Atlas who lets it phase through him and Ampere who can easily dodge with her high speed. "Oh yeah.", Bloody Mary remarks, "Now you're fucked." But Yurei jumps into her shadow and outright pulls her into it along with him. Though that just ends with a then defeated Yurei getting thrown out of the shadow before Bloody Mary reappears through the use of a mirror portal.
"S-So... what do we now?...", Celestino comments on their complete lack of any plan how to deal with Team Infamy's leader. Atlas has an idea though: "Light...", then exclaiming it for everyone to hear: "Mirrors need light to work!" Jiyakins immediately understands what's needed to do, though someone should keep Bloody Mary distracted so that the Shiny Eevee can't just immediately undo it before the plan gets to work, so she tells the others on her side: "Everyone, attack Bloody Mary, now!" So Gyges now makes his own shepherd's crook covered with rock in a way that it becomes shaped like an axe, with Atlas noticing that and remarking: "Oh, cool.", before he imitates that with the copy he made of it. Gyges strikes at Bloody Mary with the rock axe, though as she dodges that with her mirror portals, Ampere manages to hit her due to being much faster than her. In response to that, Bloody Mary quickly understands that she needs to attack from a more unexpected direction to be able to hit someone that fast. So she manipulates Ampere's reflection in Celestino's eyes to get her immediately defeated. "Reflections are everywhere.", Bloody Mary points out with a grin, "Can't escape that. But alright, let's stop wasting time, hehehe..."
Bloody Mary then begins to summon a mirror with which she intends to cover the entire battlefield. Obviously, if she succeeds with that, she has practically won, since she can manipulate anything that is reflected in it. So Gyges and Atlas make use of their identifical weapons to break that big mirror before its completion. Bloody Mary tries to attack Gyges with her mirror shards, though Celestino protects him with one of his protective barriers. But that just makes Bloody Mary use a mirror portal to get right onto the other side of that barrier to then using her own claws and fangs to attack Celestino. She does that so mercilessly that Celestino is soon defeated as well, covered with bite and scratch marks. When she then sees Gyges approaching her, she summons another mirror to use his reflection in order to make him hit himself with the rock axe, so he quickly makes it turn back into just a sturdy shepherd's crook. Atlas quickly pushes Gyges out of the way of the mirror's view, though Bloody Mary isn't finished, just summoning another mirror to reflect Gyges, which she then breaks to cause massive damage and get even someone as strong as this royal panda ant defeated, making only Jiyakins and Atlas be left fighting.
But that's all they need. With Bloody Mary's attention being on hitting and defeating everyone in her immediate surroundings, Jiyakins gets the chance to catch her off-guard enough to use the terraforming in order to lock Bloody Mary into a newly made room of stone so tightly sealed that no light whatsoever can still get inside. Bloody Mary gotta at least try though, attempting to simply summon another mirror to use as a portal to get out of there but... without any light in here, it's not gonna work. There's nothing to reflect. "It works!", Jiyakins exclaims as Atlas remarks: "Leave the rest to me."
The Dragapult phases through the walls to get to Bloody Mary. Of course, she tries to attack him, but as we've seen, Atlas can really pretty well even when he can't see anything, while Bloody Mary is currently having no access to any advantage other than being almost impossible to kill. But killing isn't the goal for Atlas here, especially since his space warrior training also taught him not to kill unless absolutely neccessary, he just simply defeats her for the battle and therefore the current threat to end. After that, Jiyakins can let Bloody Mary out of the complete darkness, as she is too defeated to attack any of them right now.
