Anne looked on in horror as the behemoth breached the rift. Her muscles tensed up. She felt her every heartbeat beating through her chest. She felt every one of her hairs stand on their ends. She's never felt this way before, hadn't she?She had. That day, that lab, that plane.... that's when she became... her.
Anne's mind rushed back to her time on Nessythia, which at once seemed like an eternity ago and like it happened yesterday. Instinctually, her pose shifted, and she drew her jagged-edged blade. A familiar voice called from behind the monster, but Anne's brain did not have enough time to process anything but its message."Go!"
"On it!" Anne leaped up towards the beast, cleaving at it with her sword as a gunslinger, seeming to be no older than 20 despite the numerous scars covering his body shoots at the beast with his trusty pistol and a young, ghostly girl waves her hands, causing ethereal tendrils to wrap around the beast's limbs.
As Anne finishes slashing at the beast's face, she kicks off it, rocketing off and unconsciously signals the other two to follow. She closes her eyes as she runs for dear life before finally collapsing in an alley.
------------------------------------------------
Anne opens her eyes to see two people looking down at her. "Oh, she's awake!" the ghostly figure excitedly shouts, before the gunslinger extends a hand down.
"Didn't expect to see you so soon Anne. Alright, I hope?"
Anne gets up... and immediately hugs Roy, with Aki following shortly after. "Ohmygod ohmygod it's actually you!" Anne manages to mutter out through tears. "We gotcha." Aki said as she cradled her taller friend.
--------------------------------------------------
"Why'd you come?" Anne asked as her chest heaved and sagged. This all happened so fast she barely had time to breathe.
"Short or long?" Roy asked, the former noble keeping terse as always.
"Short."
"Your... 'sparktalker''s still intact, correct?"
Anne pulled out the nearly forgotten device from her pocket. "Oh! Was it the threat alarm thing that Aki put on it that brought you two here?"
"Exactly! Came over as soon as we could."
"Just in time too."
Anne looks over and sees some of her siblings peering into the alley. "Hold on, I have to go do something...", confusing Roy but only leading Aki to nod.
The Nessythia Three 
Legendary Planeswalker - Aki Anne Roy 
 : Add two mana of any combination of colors. Spend this mana only to cast instant, sorcery, Insect, or planeswalker spells.
 : Create a 2/2 Insect Soldier creature token with haste.
 : The Nessythia Three deal 3 damage to target creature or planeswalker
 : You get an emblem with "You may activate the loyalty abilities of planeswalkers you control twice each turn rather than only once." and "The abilities of planeswalkers you control cost more to activate."
 The blade and bullets seem to serve to only make the behemoth angrier and it swipes violently at the young combatants, seeming to have no fear of causing any harm to itself.
The spectral chains wrap around the creature, restraining its already limited forms of attack. It pulls and pulls at the spirit's chains, but they appear to hold as the three reconnect.
But the gaping tear in reality remains. As the three ignore the behemoth, a crackling creature steps forth. Flames spin around the ashen man and limbs sprouting from its back move erratically. Its glowing eyes rest solely on the behemoth as it calmly walks forward and sets a hand upon the ghostly chains. The same empty color of the creature spreads rapidly across the spell.
The chains holding back the behemoth explode into black powder, and it lumbers for the three once more.
The Nessythia Three - the three cost 4 and have 4 abilities smh. defense wise i guess this is making a 2/2 to block? or -3 to kill a bigger ant? neither thing takes care of the big lad himself, which i suppose does match the flavor. on its own, the first three modes are fine, though the -3 could be fine as a bolt, and the -10 is not a very good ult. honestly could see that as like a -7. 7/10
is not an uncommon but I assume you know that. I love how scary this is despite being totally in pie. The funniest part is you can do this to your own lands to cheat out big stuff, which I consider to be not a bug but a feature. 9/10 for balance concerns only, cuz this is sweeeeeeeeet. As the geomancer emerges from the earth, the rest of the group was already focused on the twin titans staring them down. Roy said to the geomancer, "Should've gone to Nessythia a year ago." causing Aki to chuckle slightly.
"Alright everyone, focus on what we're here for." Anne said with a startling amount of confidence to the collected group. Roy raised his gun and fired on the new beast, its fires going out as freezing shots did their work. Aki began firing bolts of white lightning at the behemoth, with it being stunned momentarily by the surge of charge. Anne and her siblings, meanwhile, gang up on the behemoth as Aki's stun magic takes its toll, their collective strength threatening to overwhelm the beast like a death by a thousand papercuts. Time to win a war.
Anne has unlocked Battle For Zendikar as a conjure set.
Unending Swarm 
Creature - Insect Ally
A deck may have any number of cards named Unending Swarm.
When ~ or another Ally enters the battlefield, you may search your library for a card named ~, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
1/1
Conjuring Chasm Guide, Kor Entanglers, and Resolute Blademaster to the battlefield.
So, two notes: 1. korakhos?! What the heck are you doing here, welcome back! 2. Cajun, I think with the conjures the strategy is clear. |

1/1
Conjuring Chasm Guide, Kor Entanglers, and Resolute Blademaster to the battlefield. The geomancer's insistence finally causes the earth beneath the behemoth to give way, and the growing fissure swallows up one of its arms and destabilizes it. It thrashes at the ant girls trying to get into melee range, but the shots of the gunslinger, the bolts of the spirits, the stones of the geomancer, the attacks of the sisters, bit by bit dissolving wounds began opening across the behemoth.
The ashen creature explodes into a billowing cloud of smoke, flowing outward and obscuring the entire battlefield. As the smoke mixes with the dissolving behemoth, the whole world grows brighter and brighter and brighter....
As their eyes adjust, they notice the smoke has disappeared. Or rather, the smoke cloud was now towering far in the sky, surrounding the head of a fused creature even taller than the original behemoth. It points to the ant-girl, the apparent ringleader of the entire affair. A sword as tall as a building comes swinging down.
Unending Swarm - idk that this should have the relentless rats text given the ally type. 6/10Earthshaking Entrance - this is an interesting one. double X cards are tricky since their mvs in normal games are usually 3, 5, and sooooooometimes 7, but this one does it fairly well i think. 9/10

Destroy target creature. "Who made you think you were wanted in this dimension?"This should take care of the creature part of the problem, foureyesisafish, if you wanted to take care of that tell me and I'll rework my card. Also, for flavor purposes, the idea of the pillar is to push the thing back into the rift and then use the pillar as a literal cork to seal it. |

Then the sword came slamming down. Anne barely had any time to react as the sword slammed into the earth, a dust cloud rising from where Anne once stood as her friends and family look on in horror. All Anne could feel was a voice echoing in her mind, a voice that was not her own.You will not die today
With a new strength welling up inside her, Anne pushed up on the giant sword that had nearly killed her, her entire body glowing with rune-like markings. With one last heave! she threw the building-sized broadsword aside, the markings gradually fading as the collective company's jaws drop.
Underneath her, the ground is cracked slightly, with a slight glow of yellow, blue, purple, red, and green reaching through. Some tropical plants seem to have also spontaneously grew, seemingly at odds with the temperate landscape.

1/1 The supernatural strength of the ant tears the sword from the creature's grasp... or rather, tears the creature's hand from its arm and the sword alongside.
The earth shakes and cracks from the two women, and before the creature can conjure some other weapon against them, the geomancer's pillar drives into the smoke. Wisps of it remain, but whatever solid core they had formed around were shoved back by the earth driving it back into the rift where it had come. The top of the earthen pillar entered the rift as well, blocking off any further creatures, so long as it did not grow any larger.
While this rift did not seem to be, on the horizon another clearly had, a blackened tear in reality running up into the sky from some source yet unknown. If they had more fight in them, surely that would be the best place to unleash it.

I was today years old when I found out that casting a creature from a graveyard doesn't count for the purposes of that effect XD. Before the dust settles, Aylin has already departed. One enemy down, gods know how many more are left, so she's already thinking of fighting her next opponent, uncaring of whether or not the people she was helping are ok.(Aylin leaves this place going in the "aid" of Rel and that bridges the gap in the story). |

The ant-who-became-a-girl's influence over the Arena slowly faded before vanishing entirely. Not in a bang, but in a whimper. Whoever she was, she was on the Arena no longer.
In the hidden cracks and dark depths of the plane, rock begins to swirl into new patterns, and a strange, oil-like liquid begins to seep from the hidden, morphing landscape.
Something weird this way comes.
