Pira’s attack to Autocorrect’s leg causes a boot-thruster to sputter—

Putt, putt, ppppppt…

—and before Autocorrect’s automatically-corrective slider can adjust thruster balance, Princess Diamond uses her cartoonish magic to plug the functioning thruster with an oversized cork.

The giant red robot somehow stays afloat for a second or so… then gravity does its thing. He falls silently, head bashing against the left arm of the giant skeleton on his way down. He plunges unceremoniously into the fiery pit.


The colossal skeleton’s left hand slowly opens, revealing a coin that would fit Pegatron like a sombrero…

(Luna is used to a creature being so immense compared to herself, but even then… a human is ten or twelve or so fairies tall. This giant—or what’s left of him—is ten or twelve or so Pegatrons tall. And how many humans tall is Pegatron? This is why fairies don’t do math.)

…the fingers fall limp. The coin follows the plunging robot into the inferno.

Luna follows the colossal coin, sprinkling it with pixel dust! It doesn’t shrink, but it does cause the coin to shine. An odd reflection flashes once, twice, thrice in the face on the coin.



But glancing back, Luna can’t find any bright yellow letters—just a dusty red sky and billowing smoke. Vivian giggles at the fairy’s antics. "C’mon, Luna. Let’s stay in the vehicle while we figure a way outta here."

Violet believes she can use Pegatron’s head to communicate with Pinky. As she speaks of this, Valerie is keeping a sharp eye on the skeletal hand that dropped the coin. Its digits hang limp.

Vera checks the other hand. She opens her mouth to speak. No words come out, but Cass sees the kitsune pointing at the colossal skeleton’s right arm. The hand is missing! Princess Diamond orders her steed to gallop—Vivian flaps her wing!

WHOOSH!!

—a giant skeletal fist soars past Pegatron, missing by a yard, which may as well be an inch in a battle between a colossal hand and a giant winged kentauride fembot!


Emerging from the pit where Autocorrect fell is a colossal skull! It speaks to you.



"It is foolish of you to resist my benevolent hand. Now you leave me no choice, but to crush you."

The left hand detaches itself from the wrist-bone and opens wide as it rises from the scorched earth. The right fist that sailed past now hovers before you. It points a bony finger at Pegatron’s head.

Not that they have any memory of it, but our heroines do what they’ve done thousands of times before: they start using those items they’d been holding onto because this is the one villain where running out of items is potentially deadly!

Pira’s taunt moves Masher Hand’s finger from the head to the horse-torso! And Cass’ net limit’s Jigglypalm’s movement. Luna adds a touch of fey frosting, and you start to see some cracks in the bony fingers. Thundra and Valerie exacerbate the damage with—

"An authentic Shieldmaiden-Valkyrie Team Combo!?

"Worthy Foes, know this: I shall grant you a week and a day in Valhalla before The Reset! I am not a monster,"
says the colossal hovering skull.

But the skull, like Pegatron’s head, cannot attack. He attacks with his hands.

Masher Hand rockets straight at the dome over her head. Princess Diamond yelps in shock as the bony fingers pokes between Pegatron’s wings, mashing rapidly at the slipperglass* with the likely goal of shattering the dome!

[ +- ] *

Slipperglass is the glass used to make slippers for princesses. It has been deemed shatterproof by royal decree, but sipperglass has never been impact-tested against a colossal finger bone.

While the attempts to outmaneuver Masher Hand prove fruitless, Jigglypalm is slowed by the icy net. It can only make a limp grasp at the human torso.

Pira saves the princess (yet again!) from harm while Cass and Thundra escape Jigglypalm’s crushing grip before it can inflict significant damage.

All of our heroines strike back! Jigglypalm’s pinky bone detaches and plunges into the fiery pit. The rest of the bones are cracked and its stance appears limp and cramped.

Masher Hand forms a tight fist!

The skull’s voice booms,
"What are you fighting against? Infinite lives? Infinite second chances? If you refuse my gift I’ll beat it into you!"

—but you all know better than to take your eyes off of the hands. Jigglypalm just needs a good hit, and there will only be one foe to deal with.

But before you can finish the busted hand, it grabs all of Pegatron! Masher Hand rockets toward all of you, knuckles first!

Valerie"Not any day!" Valerie exclaims, backing Thundra’s taunt.

The shield arm is unscathed by the colossal hands’ most devastating attack! Adding insult to lack-of-injury, Thundra smashes the grabby hand to bits! Phalanges flip-flop about, some clattering against the fossilized ribcage before bouncing into the inferno.
VioletThundra’s shield also deflects the Masher Hand’s attack to Pegatron’s head.

Violet cheers everyone on: "Almost there, girls! Do as much damage as you can!"

Vivian"Now’s a good time to panic!" Vivian says to Luna before taking her own advice, waving her arms and shrieking her top five regrets.
Violet"Eep! Bunny-Twin Powers: ACTIVATE!"

Suddenly, Violet is standing on top of Pegatron’s head. She whips out a black disc, which—with a flick of the wrist—pops into the shape of a top hat. Violet reaches inside, and lightly tugs a pair of bunny ears from within the hat.

—and out hops a bunny girl who, despite apparently living inside a hat, is actually a little taller than Violet.

Rose + Violet"Okay, Violet. I told you only to use the hat in case of emergen—holy shit!"

The pink-haired bunny girl leaps into Violet’s arms and clings to her for dear life while Violet adjusts her stance to avoid teetering off of Pegatron’s head!

Luckily for them, Masher Hand is busy attempting to tear off Pegatron’s wings. It doesn’t seem to notice the bunny girls.

"Explanation later, kay, Rose?"

Rose nods in affirmation once, then stands by Violet’s side. She turns to face the skull.

Seems ya got issues, a chest
To get some things off?
Do ya really think it best
To tear our robot’s wings off?
What about the fairy inside,
Ya friggin’ jerk?
Open your mind wide!
Perhaps, kindness will work…


Vera"Kindness? He’s trying to murder us, Violet. Seriously what the fuck."

Princess Diamond

"Oh, I get it, Vera. ’Tis a song of pure love. It can heal the broken wing of a butterfly, but you have to believe. And since this is the broken wing of a giant fembot, you’d have to be downright gullible. Unless, of course, a real princess were to provide backup vocals."

Princess Diamond trills innocently as Rose and Violet continue their duet.

Though your frightful form’s
A disembodied head
With your skin burned off
Which means your nerves are dead
We implore you, get in touch
With your feelings
For that is the first
Step to healing…


ValerieRose and Violet tap dance side by side, while Princess Vivian peers through her broken hull and plays her bugle. Valerie tries snapping her fingers, but she’s way off-beat.

"Shit."

While Masher Hand keeps ripping away at the wings, plucking adamantium feathers one-by-one, the skull bobs his head along to the tapping and sings the next verse!



Well, my life long dreams
All went up in smoke
And if I hadn’t died
I’d be a living joke
I was T.J. and a
Husband and a Dad
Mister T.J., how’d it
Happen? So sad!

My cigarette addiction
Wasn’t very smart
It caused the arcade fire
(Which I was in) to start
And even now my private Hell
Is crumbling apart
We’ll patch it with
A Rose and Violet Heart!

Wha’d you say?

When your wings
And things life brings
Are all falling apart
We’ll patch it with
A Rose and Violet Heart!

One more time!

When life’s all pain, no gain
Your weary brain’s
Staring to smart
Well, patch it with
A Rose and Violet Heart!

You gotta point there…

Patch it with
A Rose and Violet Heart!

Well, I’ll try to

Patch it with
A Rose
And Violet
Hearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…Rose + Violet"But… but… if T.J. sang along…"

"Doesn’t that mean the fight’s over?"

"Masher Hand will only stop in defeat,"
the skull says, perhaps with a hint of remorse.

"FINISH HIM!!"
