Once more Loki's mindscape shifted, this time to reflect a feeling of his own, the hatred of Odin, his adoptive father. Thor, his adoptive brother, and to a lesser extend, Asgard in general. This manifested as the grand throne room. What was once gold, now was a lustreless dull grey. On the opposite end of the throne room, where one would normally see the city of Asgard from the balcony, there was a black void. Although his feelings here were his own, the Tessaract altered Loki's thoughts on the matter, this manifesting in the shadows of the throne room being blue. "I truly care not who, or what you are. You will fail, as will your conspirators."
As Tophat lingered in Loki's mind, the Tessaract began touching it as it did everything else in Loki's mind. The cosmic forces began singling it out, slowly beginning to transfer it to a mindscape of the Tessaract's own making.

A little burden released from him, Loki regained enough of his mind to look around.

Nybeth fell to his knees as he was shot in them, cringing and groaning in pain all the while. Before he could ready another spell and cast it, The Rookie violently planted a load of buckshot in his chest. Nybeth let out a few pained choking and gurgling noises as he spat up a fair amount of blood, then fell face forward onto the ground and stopped moving as a pool of blood soaked into the ground underneath him.

Feeling herself trying to get pulled off of Rita, Jessica tightened her grip on the girl. Being pulled in the opposite direction, she ended up tugging forcefully on Rita's hair and forearm, pulling her back with her as she was pulled to the ground.

Making her way to her new cover spot, she noted Loki moving his head and quickly took aim toward the one weakpoint of his she remembered: his eyes. He might be able to notice a small white light flare up as she charged up and fired off a Titania Cannon, sending the beam bullet streaking toward his face and threatening to pierce through him. If it hit and wasn't powerful enough to tear through him, it would explode once it stopped.
Knowing that she had given up her location, Ness quickly created a portal under herself and popped out under cover on the other side of the scene, still behind cover. She kept an eye on Loki to ensure he had projected himself before taking a look toward Rita.

The cosmic forces of the Tessaract removed the set of memories swiftly. Memories were insubstantial, as easy to remove as they were to alter or fabricate. While Loki himself worked on pushing Tophat from his mind, the Tessaract continued to pull it into a pocket mindscape, this resulting in Loki's mindscape fading, the area becoming a barely vissible silhouette, while a clear blue sphere surrounded Tophat.

Loki sluggishly moved around the battlefield, just in time to see the white flash in the distance. He warped to the side. He saw that Nybeth had been gunned down and grunted in great annoyance. Seeing Rita was in trouble, and not about to loose another asset, he turned invisible. While Loki's mind was still too occupied with ejecting Tophat to place a full shroud on himself, he could manage a simple invisibility spell. After making himself invisible, Loki warped behind Jessica and attempted to stab her in the side of the neck with the blade of the scepter.

Jessica shrieked as spikes of Earth pierced through her body from behind. She yanked Rita closer to her so that the girl would stab herself if she tried that again. Feeling her grip on Rita's hair with her organic hand start to weaken as a pool of her blood spread across the ground, Jessica let go of the girl's arm for just a second and wrapped her mechanical arm around her neck. She applied more and more pressure to Rita's neck, attempting to choke her.
Jessica had been yanked to the ground, so there was no angle Loki could use to get behind her to stab at her from.

With Loki not being able to fully cloak himself, Ness' anti-cloak allowed her to see Loki warp behind Jess. In a flash, her eyes glinted red before she fired off another normal shot, aimed once again at Loki's eyes. Afterward, she took another shot toward Rita's whip hand, having found an angle to hit her and keep Jess out of the bullet's path, surely not wanting to risk the headshot with Jess choking the girl.
She calmly reloaded her sniper, making a small 'ka-*****' noise as she loaded in the clip.

Rookie's first bullet was deflected by the mythril lining, but the second one got through a space in it, hitting Rita in the arm. She shrieked as the bullet hit her, but was quickly cut off when Jessica grabbed her neck. In response the ground around the both of them rose up to enclose them, shielding them from outside forces, namely, Ness's sniper shot. Rock spikes also attempted to pierce Jessica's neck and head area while Rita struggled to fight against her metal arm.
Tophat turned all its focus on a single task: Causing pain to Loki. The pain was both hot and constant as a infected wound, and sharp like a stab to the chest. However, Tophat could not shield itself from this, and thus barely endured this horrible pain.

The Rookie noticed that Loki had disappeared, and put on his VISR mode, which outlined all invisible things with orange. He shifted his aim, and emptied a clip into his chest.

The pain Tophat caused Loki made him drop to his knees and groan in pain with a loud groan. Fortunately for Loki, this also had the effect of Ness' shot missing. Rookie's shots, already slowed down by the sturdy Asgardian fabric of his garments, failed to do any damage as they came into contact with his flesh. Seeing Rita and Jessica enveloped in the earth dome, and being nearly by the pain Tophat was causing him, Loki warped behind the airship forcover.
[hr]
In his mind scape, Loki turned to the fading Tophat, looking enraged. "You...! Begone!" Loki focusing on ejecting Tophat, with the addition of the Tessatact pulling at it, and given that it had made no efforts to escape, meant that it was pulled from Loki's mind, into the pocket mindscape the Tessaract had created, this appearing as a blue void that stretched out into the infinite.

Tophat pulled itself away from the mindscape, leaving its emotional center as a decoy to ease this escape. When it had pulled out, it weakly marked Loki for The Rookie and Ness, then noticed Jessica was dead.
(To Loki: Ternination in progress)
Tophat launched another attack on Loki, ripping down in a systematical, cold manner.
OoC: @Furi: Did that break the stone shell?

Ness stared blankly as the dome split apart, seeing Jessica dead through her scope. A whirling mix of panic, rage and regret welled up inside the girl, and soon enough, the girl's eyes turned blood red.
As had happened with Echo in the temple, she took aim at Rita with her sniper and unloaded six accurate shots all over the girl including one to the head, firing at a rate that was absurd.
