Polyta helps Helen up off her feet, Coral prances up to them. The orb in her hand is cracked deeply, and spiritual energy seeps out of it.

Coral
* Is she okay?

—Helen—
I'm fine!! Sheesh...

[Should probably have a dialogue exchange involving Nix here, I don't want Polyta to put her on blast just yet though-- maybe some light admonishment and reminding her that they all need to be on the same page for these things.]

—Polyta—
[...]
I was hoping to save the Ultra Orb for if Proteus got aggressive...

Coral
* We might be able to re-use it!
* It's cracked from the last use, sure, but I feel like I could still--

The orb shatters in Coral's hand.

Headless Ed flies out of it, cackling madly.

Headless Ed
* AHAHAHAAAAHAAAAHAAAA!!
* I'M FREE! I'M FREEEE!!!

Coral
* UM,,

—Helen—
Deal with that later.

The remaining fishman attempts to puff up his chest against Coral and co, but he's visibly not too confident.

—Fishman—
H- hey! I'm still standing here, you know! You should all get ready, cause I can still kick your butts!!

Coral
* Ah! Mister fishman. [Something pointing out how he's outnumbered, working her way to her point.]

Coral talks to the fishman. DEBATE START!!!

Coral
* [Words to the effect of convincing the fishman to go get Proteus and tell him that they want to talk.]

—Fishman—
[Fishman seems to be on board...]

DEBATE WO--

The fishman cops a laser blast square in the chest!

—Fishman—
BLARGH

Coral
* HEY HEY WHAT!!!?

Victory!! The party confusedly get XP, including a familiar silhouette...

Coral
* What the fuck, who...!?

Major Mercy stands on a big rock overlooking the group, a dark smile across her face. Her gun arm smokes still. The blade angel wraps around her other arm and has wormed their way into her armour.

  Major Mercy
You missed one.
