Radiant Hope will win!

@Radiant Hope  
Faith: No, not this time, you creeps!  
After taking a deep breath, he fires magic bolts of light from his own horns, attempting to cut through the darkness.  
Random Mane: Die! Truth or no, we don’t care anymore! Our suffering ends now!  
The monstrosity flings a blast of darkness from its jaws at his horns, stunning him and cancelling the spell.

@Prism King  
It gets harder to see as it gets darker.

@Radiant Hope  
IBC rises from the shadow realm to the others.  
IBC: God, why is it never easy…  
IBC’s horn glows bright, and light shines out, cutting through the darkness.

@Radiant Hope  
Mane leader: We’ll add our own darkness to the mix, and you stupid beings of light will finally know our pain!  
The Manes add even more darkness to that already created by the Umbrum, blacking out even the cloud of pure light in the sky that signals the approach of Mors.  
Leader: Now, die, stupid healers! With you gone, we have nothing left to fear!  
The leader, shrouded in darkness to the point of being nearly invisible, launches a sphere of black energy at both Faith and Hope, intending to slay them both in one stroke.

@Prism King  
The Umbrum laugh, delighted, at this.

@Prism King  
CB: grrrrRRRRR RRAAAAAAAAH, REMEMBER MEEEEE!  
CB leaps in front of Faith and Hope, intent on sacrificing himself.

@Creepa-Bot Inc.  
Voice: Sorry, but your time is far from up.  
A bolt of light strikes from the sky, hurling the sphere into a building, angering the Mane leader.  
Leader: Stupid Athanatoi! Guess I have to get closer!  
He looks back at the scythe, and breaks into a wicked grin.  
Leader: Mors may have the power to banish us, but if we take the scythe for ourselves, he’ll be unable to do so! My people! Take the tool of our oppression and make sure he can never use it on us again!  
Thousands of Manes converge on the scythe’s position, intent on ripping it from the ground and making thier banishment impossible.

@Prism King  
IBC quickly points to the scythe, and a puddle of dark ooze forms beneath it. It sinks into it, and the puddle disappears. Another puddle forms next to IBC, and the scythe rises from it. He grabs it, and the puddle disappears.  
IBC: Too slow, motherfucker! Now you’re really gonna get your comeuppance! C’mon, everyone! Let’s push ’em back!
 
(Wait, what scythe?)

@Creepa-Bot Inc.  
(The one that fell from the sky earlier. He threw it down so he could arrive faster. Forgot to explain that. Sorry.)

@Prism King  
(No, you’re okay.)

@Creepa-Bot Inc.  
I watched in terror.

@Zaknel  
(I gotta take a short break. I’ll be back in a bit.)

@Prism King  
(Aw, okay.)

@Creepa-Bot Inc.  
(Kay, I’m back.)

@Creepa-Bot Inc.  
The Mane leader laughs.  
Leader: Fool! Only Mors has the ability to wield that accursed tool! For anyone else, it’s naught but a luminous farming implement! We’ll tear it from your grasp and ensure he can never use it against us! Attack!

@Prism King  
(Ok, question: where are we?)

@Creepa-Bot Inc.  
(Moscolt. Outdoors.)

@Prism King  
(That was a quick change of scenery.)
 
IBC: It’s sharp and pointy. That’s all I need.

Leader: Well then, let’s see if it really is!  
Thousands of Manes converge on IBC’s position, using claws, fangs, and other means of attack to attempt to grab the scythe’s handle and wrest it from his grip.  
Leader: Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a second attempt to make!  
The leader dissolves into shadows, and darts towards Faith and Hope, intent on making sure he’s too close to be stopped this time.

@Prism King  
I ready my magic.

@Prism King  
In a flash of dark mist, IBC and the scythe dissapear. Meanwhile, CB readies himself for the leader’s attack.

@Radiant Hope  
The Lead Mane emerges from the ground mere inches from Faith and Hope, his attack already ready to fire.

@Prism King  
CB tackles him to the ground and strangles him with his magic.  
CB: STUPID, WORTHLESS VERMIN! DIE!  
IBC reappears with the scythe on top of a building down the street.  
IBC: Yoooooo-hoooooo! Over here!

@Creepa-Bot Inc.  
(I gotta stop for now. I’m not feeling my best. I’m getting a headache. Maybe we should finish this tomorrow.)

@Prism King  
(Alright, sure. G’night.)
