Lockdown Protocol

"Are y-you sure t-t-this'll work?" Senshi stammered as everyone stood a good mile from Detainment Domain as the simulated moonlight hung over them on the empty broken neon streets. 

"Seshipede... I have always wanted to do something as stupidly reckless as this. Don't take this from me." Rat said with an excited tail wag as she held up a small, bug themed ray gun. Ven, who like everyone else besides Senshi, was oblivious to Rat's grand idea to break through the looming wall of Detainment. But as Rat tossed Senshi in the air and fired the ray at her, mist enveloping her body in a dazzling display. Ven realised what she was doing and he quickly opened a large portal beneath everyone's feet, dropping them a good distance back as Senshi grew to a gigantic size, towering above everything the buildings on the outskirts of the Domain.

Avis let out an excited squawk of surprise as she flew around her gargantuan friend. "Woah... Why couldn't I be the big one?" She yelled down to Rat, who was standing on the centipede's back, holding onto her outfit like reins. "I didn't think flying was necessary. Now, Senshipede! CHAAAARGE!" 

Senshi let out a squeal as Rat whipped her on the back with a suprisingly hard slap. Instead of charging, Senshi grabbed her and threw her across the distance. Everyone watched with awe as Rat yelled while she flew across the night sky like a burning bullet before slamming against the wall and sliding down it.

"That was..." Avis mumbled as she watched Rat lay on the gravelled floor. "S-Satisfying t-to watch?" Senshi said in a whispery voice, though her voice was rather booming at her size. "But yeah... Please go and smash the wall down, Senshi." Vinea said as he grappled onto her body and tying his vined legs to her clothes. He was clearly planning to look like a hero riding their war horse to battle, which Avis immediately picked up on and joined him. 

"We're gonna be the gate crashing team, I guess." Avis laughed, waving down to everyone. A small portal opened up next to Avis and Vinea, with Desires and Diminutive's sub-mind hearts falling through. "You three can handle this, right?" Ven said as Avis put her robotic hand through the portal, giving Ven a thumbs up. 

"Then let's go and finish this!" 

Panila was walking down the main hall to her office, looking over each of the doors to the Domain Leaders. Her eyes remined locked with Cheshire's door for awhile, musing to herself about the past before the ground began to shake. 

Panila's second personal Decaynine guard, a feminine white jackal, Chew, was rushing over to her boss with a nervous look. "Boss, Boss, Boss! A-A giant centipede is trying to break through the front gates!"

Panila walked over to a window, taking a slight glance outside to see Senshi's incredibly large centipede body smashing against the gates, seeing Avis and Vinea cheer her on. Her face shifted to disgust as she turned back to Chew. "Get everyone down there. NOW." Her form growing slightly but shrunk back as she tried to keep herself under control. Chew flinched at the yell and ran off to get as many Decaynine guards as she could.

As Panila walked back to her office, she stopped the last of her guards, an orange fox, Bite, and asked them to personally see to the collection of Dragon's mist kept in Pandæmonium's chamber, which the Decaynine swiftly followed.

The Warden decided in that moment that if she was going to lose everything, she would do it with her most trusted companions. "Let's make a show of this, hmm." She whispered through one of the doors before ripping it off its hinges with a single yank of her chains. 

"She's... Here... Isn't... She?"

"And she's all yours if you beat her."

"Sen... Shi..."

"Senshi! Senshi! Senshi!" Avis called out repeatedly as multiple Decaynines' trained their rifles and weapons at the trio. But Senshi easily swatted them away with a swipe of her arm, continuing to break down the wall that seemed ready to give way. 

Avis and Vinea were trying to provide support, with Avis pulling out her microphone and screaming down the mic with her heart ability active, stunning a few guards, that Vinea swiftly incapacitated by binding them up. But as the duo were providing support, Senshi's antenna began to twitch violently in response to something.

"D-D-Do y-you two s-smell that?" She asked in a confused tone as she continued trying to break down the wall. Vinea shook his head, but gave a casual thumbs up. "All I smell is rotting flesh and chicken sweat. Why? What do you smell?"

"Dragon's mist..." 

Before Senshi could react, she was muted by the sound of music starting up. Vinea looked to Avis, thinking it was her wings, but she showed that her wings weren't playing. The music sounded like a bizarre pop idol mix with heavy metal blended with it. And as the music began to get louder, a figure began to emerge from behind Detainment's main tower. Two large, cruel black claws hung out as a familiar ruined blue Idol dressed figure looked down at them with a cruel grin between their mandibles.

They tipped their stitched together little top hat, well little in comparison the the rest of their body, as they stared down at them with eight cruel amber eyes. The looming figure took a deep breath before yelling a sing song voice as the music got louder;

"People of The Underbelly! Don't you wish everyday would be your last? Don't you wish to not be betrayed!? DON'T YOU WISH YOUR LOVE FOR HER DIDN'T DIE? BECAUSE I DIDN'T WISH TO BE SMALLER THEN NOTHING! I WISHED TO BE LARGER THEN LIFE! But now? I want you to see me for who I really am. I AM EIDO! PANDORA'S ONE AND ONLY SPIDER IDOL!" 

Eido jumped towards the trio, landing on all eight legs, crushing some Decaynine under her claws. She was easily double Senshi's size, looking down at her with an almost loving yet cruel stare. Senshi looked up in fear, quickly trying to scuttle away, but Eido had grabbed the end of her tail, slowly reeling her in like a fish on a line.

"Come here, Seeenshiiii." She laughed, but her grip was loosened by Avis throwing some metallic feathers at her back claws. She let out an angered yell, trying to swat at Avis, who began pestering her. "You annoying little fly!" Eido yelled.

Senshi was doing her best to try and escape Eido, but Vinea grabbed onto her antenna with the longest Vine he could create and launched himself at her, trying to steer her back. "D-D-D-Don't make m-m-me fight her, d-d-don't make me!" She squirmed, not even having the courage to look at Eido.

Vinea didn't know how to console a giant centipede scared of her ex-lover who got turned into a giant spider woman, but he knew how to get people to think better. So he slapped her around the face, making her freeze.

"Get your shit together! Her literal soul still loves you, remember! So ignore her right now and jsut break the wall down!" He yelled, but was soon thrown from Senshi's face by Eido leaping and Senshi pinning her to the ground, the wall to Detainment smashing as the two went flying back towards the main city. 

"You idiot! You filthy little bug! LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME!" Eido yelled, punching at Senshi with her regular arms as her claws held down her main body. Senshi tried her best to get out, but couldn't. "I-I-I'm s-s-sorry! I-I-I didn't k-know it w-w-would c-c-cause all this!" She cried back, breaking down into tears.

"NOT GOOD ENOUGH!" Eido yelled as she grabbed Senshi and threw her back towards the prison, only to be knocked back by chains before she could hit the actual tower itself. Eido used the opportunity to punch Senshi around the face with her claws as she flew back towards her. 

She lied in the courtyard of the ever present tower as Eido stepped over to her, putting her claws together as she readied to finish her off. "SHOWS OVER! ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY TO OUR AUDIENCE!?" 

"I... I'm sorry... I deserve this."

All of Eido's eyes opened slightly, lowering her arms slightly. "You're sorry? After everything? You're SORRY? DO YOU EXPECT MY FORGIVNESS? MY LOVE? MY ANGER? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM SAYING THAT!?"

"I just wanted you to hear it..." She said with an insect like chattering, wiping her eyes as Eido was left with a stunned look, picking Senshi up and looking her over. "You just wanted me to hear it? I'm heartless... I have nothing left... But you still wanted me to hear that... You're sorry?" 

Eido couldn't believe it, after everything she'd been through, from the fear and panic of having to go through her new life as a spider, to the small moments she spent with Senshi. Her memories were flooding her mind, and the only thing she could think to do was...

"Heh... Hehahaha. You just wanted me to know your sorry? That is the stupidest, little thing you've ever said to me! I hate you... But... I don't." She laughed, pulling Senshi into a crushing hug. not letting her move. "A-Arachne... A-A-Are you going to kill me?"

"No... I think letting you live with me forever would be the better. You stupid little bug." 

"W-What? W-What are you saying?"

Arachne pulled her away, looking down at her with a giggle, tears leaving her eight eyes as she stared down at Senshi. "I... Want to forget everything and live a long life with you!" 

"R-R-R-R-Really!?" Senshi asked in a dumbstruck tone, looking over to Avis and Vinea, who were trying to fight off Decaynine guards. 

"T-T-Then... Y-You wouldn't m-mind if I-I?" Senshi wrapped herself around Arachne before kissing her with every bit of passion and love she could muster. The two remained interlocked for a good 30 seconds before the sounds of Avis yelling; "STOP KISSING AND HELP US, SENSHI!"

The two stopped, noticing how the harpy and plant duo were rather bad at fighting. "I mean... I suppose I've served Panila long enough... I just want to leave with you." Arachne smiled, before swatting away the Decaynines with little effort. 

The two gigantic bugs, looked through the top window of Detainment to see Panila, drinking coffee with an almost hollow look. The duo took a step back before charging towards the tower together. Panila summoned a wall of chains, trying to hold the two off, but Avis and Vinea lunched themselves upwards and, as Avis threw a feather to break the window, Vinea used a vine to knock her off balance, causing the chains to fade.

The sound of the titanic idol and fashionista could be heard across the city, and as everyone else watched from the distance, Avis and Vinea looked through the smoke and rubble to see a large hole leading inside the prison. 

"Holy... We actually did it!?" Vinea yelled in victory as he helped Avis up. The two dusted off their clothes, looking around for Senshi and Arachne. They figured they'd be rather easy to find at their size, looking up to the sky. But were met by the sight of Panila floating menacingly above where Senshi and Eido stood. 

Before Panila could even notice them, Iyu had dragged the others over to them. As everyone gathered together at the base of the opened entrance, Panila watched from above as she clutched two keyring sized cells. She knew it would be pointless a waste to spend her energy on fighting them, when she still had other people to throw their way and take them by surprise.

"Where's Senshi?" Avis asked as she glanced around, but were met by Rat wearily wandering over, seeming to still be recovering from being thrown. "Uhm... Like, Panila took them... We're in her domain. So... Don't get caught by her while we fight!" She laughed, rushing off ahead.

Fox scampered off behind Rat, with Zamtika and Ven going in together. Avis and Vinea quickly bolted after them, while Uma, Vex, Iyu and Nvr casually followed behind. 

"Let's Beat a Demon!"
