Riley lifted her axe and blocked the incoming strike. At the exact same time, Pineapple Beer darted in with her dagger, slicing a fresh gash across the black sword man’s shoulder.
Their teamwork was seamless, like they’d practiced this countless times before.
The black sword man stumbled back, his face stormy.
“Where the hell did these two come from? So you really were wary of us behind our backs, picking up new teammates.”
PineappleBeer stared right at him.
“Mind your own business. They’re way stronger than you guys anyway.”
The second those words left her mouth, Riley knew the real Pineapple Beer was still in there somewhere.
TartKing heard it too and lit up instantly.
“Yeah! We’re definitely stronger than you!”
Right after she spoke, a flying wind blade forced her to drop and roll across the stone ground.
She didn’t even skip a beat, casting a heal on herself the second she stopped rolling.
“Though I’ll admit, this fight’s still pretty tough right now!”
Riley smashed apart a chain blade chasing TartKing and said sharply, “Quit messing around.”
“Got it!”
The battle on the platform grew more chaotic by the second.
Every faction fought to seize the crystal while constantly watching their backs against one another.
The reddish–brown heavy armor squad tried several times to charge forward, only to get disrupted by flank attacks from the dark–blue cloaked mages.
One of the black–cloaked assassins nearly reached the crystal, before an archer from the ragtag group sent him stumbling backward.

The random crowd had numbers on their side, but no real leadership. The few who rushed out ahead got swiftly taken down by coordinated strikes from Riley and PineappleBeer.
PineappleBeer’s three old allies tried to capitalize on her unstable state, but they were pinned down by the dark–blue squad and other rival forces, never able to fully trap her.
Riley picked up multiple new wounds across her body.
TartKing’s mental energy drained rapidly. She chugged two potions already, relying on constant passive procs from her gloves and charm just to keep the party healed steadily.
She finally understood why so many fighters got locked in combat when the crystal exploded earlier.
This was no simple loot grab.
It was a dead end, every faction throwing out their best tricks to fight for survival and victory.
Everyone wanted to win.
And no one planned on letting anyone else win.
Pineapple Beer stood right in the eye of this deadly stalemate, holding the one prize every single person craved.
Riley blocked another direct hammer strike from the reddish–brown squad leader, her health dropping below half.
TartKing instantly landed a heal on her.
Pineapple Beer cut in from the side, flicking her dagger to pry open the leader’s neck guard and force him back.
She glanced over at Riley.
This time, her eyes held obvious conflict and confusion.
“Why did you take that hit for me?”
Riley panted softly from the strain.
“Habit.”
“For me?”

“For my people.”
PineappleBeer’s fingers tightened around her dagger.
“I don’t remember you.”
Riley held her gaze steady.
“It’s fine. I remember you.”
PineappleBeer froze on the spot.
The words were like a key sliding into a long–locked seal.
Clarity flashed in her eyes for a split second.
“Ri…”
TartKing nearly cried the second she heard that faint name.
“Yes! Exactly! It’s Riley! I’m Tart! Do you remember us a little bit?”
Pineapple Beer turned to look at her.
Her lips parted like she was about to answer.
But in the next instant, the crystal artifact let out a sharp, high–pitched hum.
Pineapple Beer wasn’t activating it.
The entire platform was responding on its own.
Stone tablets behind the throne lit up one after another.

Beneath the stone tables, all the silver lines hidden under blood and debris resurfaced. They stretched from the platform’s four corners toward the throne, then linked straight down to the central crystal.
The stone floor under Riley’s feet rumbled.
TartKing whipped her head around in alarm.
It wasn’t just the ground.
The whole platform was shifting.

Floating rocks, stray weapons, corpses, lingering flames and starlights all got pulled back into fixed orbits by some invisible force. The carved beast heads on the throne armrests opened their empty stone eye sockets, glowing a bright silver inside.
Tall black stone pillars rose along the platform’s edges.
