Working With Phantoms

Matriarchal Rage

Madran summoned Dharma and immediately dove to the left to avoid Cognitive Wakaba's attack. She then began to scan the beast.

"Ok, here's Wakaba 'Sphinx' Isshiki! She isn't a shadow, but is instead a cognition formed from Futaba's palace! She is impervious to physical and gun attacks, and even trying to hit her is useless! Think, Alciel's final form! Everyone, let's show this monster a piece of our own mind!"

Madran looked around to just see her group standing there, with them all nodding. Cognitive Wakaba then swiped at the group again, with Philemon diving underneath it and summoning Yudhishthira.

"Quick, catch it!"

Yudhishthira then caught the massive cat-like arm, allowing for the rest of the group to pepper Cognitive Wakaba with magical attacks. Chicory then utilized a few Matarukajas, with Maya looking at both Philemon and Yudhishthira, who were either under physical or mental strain.

"Hey, throw the arm our way!"

"On it!"

Yudhishthira then redirected the attack towards Maya, who froze Cognitive Wakaba's arm to the pyramid. However, she then broke free and knocked Maya over with a Megaton Raid.

"Crap, Rumor's down! Plague, heal her!"

Suga then utilized a Diarahan on Maya, with Rosana utilizing a Tetrakarn on Sheila.

"Beauty, get in there!"

"Right!"

Sheila then attacked Cognitive Wakaba with a Megidola before reflecting a paw swipe thanks to the shield. Madran then utilized a Meditation, waiting.

"Guys, I got a Meditation going on, get me an opening!"

Chicory nodded and ran up Cognitive Wakaba's arm, which was still trying to crush Sheila. Then, he hit the beast's face with a Freidyne, which allowed for Madran to land a rather potent Explosion.

"DIE, YOU BRATS!"

Cognitive Wakaba then attacked everyone with a Poison Mist, which ended up affecting Madran, Rosana, Wysteria, and Suga.

"Oh, dear, Plague, help us out!"

"Yep!"

Suga then utilized an Energy Shower, which removed the effects of the ailment. Cognitive Wakaba then let out another roar, which unleashed a Deathbound upon everyone. This ended up knocking Maya over again, who was healed and got up.

"Maya, swap to Arahabaki or something!"

Maya nodded and summoned Arahabaki, who rendered the next paw swipe done to Maya useless. Cognitive Wakaba then was hit by more magical attacks before Philemon set to utilizing several Debilitates.

"Hey, Butterfly, did the skill Marie gave you work?"

"Yes, but it's just about worn off!"

"Wait, really? Goodness, this thing is crazy!"

Madran then avoided a Megaton Raid before looking at Wysteria.

"Hey, I know that you've been using a bunch of magic spells, and that's great, but could you possibly try shooting her?"

"Why? Didn't you say that she blocks gun attacks?"

"Don't you have Pierce?"

"Well, yeah."

Wysteria then took her stun gun out and shot at Cognitive Wakaba, who somehow nimbly dodged it.

"YOU THINK THAT YOUR MEAGER TRICKS WILL SUCCEED?"
