Vamin's response left Warrior's sword well out of reach -- without the weapon, there was little to defend with, much less to strike with. He was able to maneuver around the incoming attacks to remain afoot, but that was the end of it when all was said and done. It was quite obvious that Warrior was left without options now.
" I suppose that's that. Hopefully that was enough venting for you -- nothing left in the tank here. "
Warrior was counting on that, to say the least. He looked worn out, but didn't look too worse for wear at least, having evaded or deflected most of Vamin's blows thus far.
Now he was at the mercy of what the Reaverking decided to do next, which was never the most comfortable position to be in, but at least a more hopeful one than being crushed outright.

Armiger.EXE
The intense heat, and the soul-wrenching feeling of his very body eating itself from the inside out, caused Armiger to fall relatively quickly. Taking a forced knee, Armiger struggled to keep his eyes open through the pain, his face warped into a screech that produced no sound. With each passing moment, the pain increased, increasing his discomfort.
He watched as Centurion and Warrior continued to fight, and then as Warrior finally gave in. It seemed that there was no hope for them moving forward from here. Armiger, at a knee in the lava, looked up at Vamin, hoping that, as Warrior did, this would be enough to sate his fury.
Centurion.EXE
Centurion watched Armiger hunker down and stop glowing, stop producing an endless winter around him, and be consumed by the lava. The living suit of armor was still visible, which meant he wasn't entirely gone, but it had given Centurion further conviction to fight.
That additional conviction did not help him in any way. The simple presence of Vamin tore him apart, his darksoul failing him, and Centurion was laid low by the pressure. Detaching from Warrior, Centurion fell to the ground, generating his humanoid form to also take a knee. Huffing, he looked up through the haze, through the pain, at the Reaverking, unsure of what would come next.

With the Warrior's statement did the heat at last begin to calm itself, the terrain that was damaged in their wake beginning to return to some semblance of normalcy after their clash had ceased. While the oppressive nature of Famine was still in his wake, Vamin did not push the issue any further. He had managed to relieve himself of a bit of his aggression here and now, and that was good enough for him. The others had each done their parts lately, so he supposed it would be a matter of time before they had him do the same, especially after Var had gone silent. It meant that he and Deav would both have to shed what was left of their own facades. And with them would unveil the remaining secrets that they had left.
"This will do for now. If we meet again it'll be to reach a more conclusive finish than this, so do your best to not travel too lightly."
After all, being caught on their own put them at a disadvantage against the Reaverkings. And while some could overcome that advantage, others could not right now. The gargatuan being would begin to sink into the floor, before long he was gone to leave them to their own devices. And with the warning issued as well as the strength shown to back up that claim as well. And with any luck he would be sent to deal with the one he had to settle the score with now just the same.
Warrior, Armiger, Centurion: 200exp, 4,000z + 1 Reaver's Mineral

Miraculously, it seemed that the Reaver King was not intent on ending any of their lives with this bout, but rather just releasing some steam. The power to defeat them was very clearly displayed, so he left with an ominous warning to be more careful going forward.
As the lava retreated with its master, Armiger and Centurion got themselves up and began recovering, Armiger rapidly regenerating armor mass and Centurion unleashing more electrical energy to make up for the amount he lost while fighting. Looking at Warrior, the two huffed out their thanks for the swordsman's assistance, and, still breathing heavily, only just managed to make their way over to him.
". . . We were discussing ways we could help each other?" Armiger asked, feeling a little silly for acting like it was a normal occurrence to pick back up a conversation after almost being brutally maimed. It seemed that all three of them had enough information about Vamin to not really concern themselves with discussing what just happened; just that Vamin was, as the other Reaverkings must have been, holding back. Given his mood, if that anger was going towards Vanguard . . . Armiger shook his head, trying not to worry too much about it.
Centurion looked at Warrior, blinking at him, thinking about what he knew of his previous traveling partners. ". . . We were going to help you find someone. You were going to help us find others that we could help, although, now I'm thinking more along the lines that you could help us build our strength. More power seems necessary against the adversaries to come."

#s://i~imgur~com/dk4CQm0~png " Understood. Safe travels, Vamin. "
An unlikely response to being the target of his attack, but Warrior didn't actually find quarrel with the Reaver Kings, as unpopular of an opinion as that was.
During Juno's Era, they made some disturbances but were much less chaotic than Juno himself, more along the lines of soldiers following orders just as Var had told Warrior earlier in this very place. That was a notion Warrior understood well -- it wasn't anything that he could fault them for, having been receiving orders from opposite forces during that engagement.
Their encounters with him recently were much the same: Vestil being entirely docile until provoked, Var utilizing others like Joker to do his dirtier work, and even Vamin here simply blowing off steam from what had effectively been his home being blown apart after the scene with Sirius. He hadn't crossed paths with Deav this entire time, but he presumed it would be much the same.
" Right... "
Turning back to the newcomers after his internal dialogue, Warrior nodded in confirmation of their remarks.
" Staying together sounds like the best way forward, if nothing else even Vamin's warning is testament to that. Were he in an even worse mood, we'd be done in right now -- much less if any of us fought him alone. "
That was a stroke of luck that he didn't want to witness twice, and it showed that the three of them together still weren't enough, but at least it was a start.
Just before this ordeal, they had mentioned they had come from Sharo, which rang an interest to Warrior as it was Faith's last known location according to Cherish.
" The friend I'm looking for was in Sharo as well, last I heard. It's a big place, but largely empty the last time I visited. I'll have a hard time getting back there, but I'd like to find a way to, if possible. "
Going on to describe Faith as if they'd seen her was just wishful thinking at this point, but it didn't hurt asking them anyway just for the sake of the matter at hand.
" That friend looks more human than navi -- a white and red motif, using a dagger as her weapon. Perhaps you crossed paths while you were there? "

Centurion and Armiger traded glances as Warrior gave her description, and Armiger nodded to Centurion to give him the lead. Centurion turned to Warrior, still nodding, and took the step forward to close the distance between the two.
"You're talking about Miss Nymphra. Back in Sharo, before everything went south, she tried contacting someone to no effect. She may have been trying to reach out to you, too," he reasoned, thinking through everything. "A lot has happened since then. You may have a lot to catch up on, but, last I heard, she's safe. She jacked out to the real world."

What a relief to finally hear. She was alright, then, but no telling where she was now. Warrior's surprise was difficult to hide -- what a small world they lived in after all.
" In that case, she's probably heading back to our rendezvous spot to fill me in on what she's discovered, so I suppose it's best to disregard Sharo for now. "
Given Centurion's choice of wording -- and knowing Faith's mannerisms in general -- it was clear that they already knew she was human. Given their non-hostility toward that notion, it was safe for him to reveal that about himself as well.
" We'll head there then, if there are no disagreements, and perhaps you two can catch me up on everything I've missed on that side while we wait. I'll pulse out to the Real World as well -- you both are welcome to rest and recharge in my PET so that we can stick together going forward. "
(( Warrior -> Real World ))

It wasn't the duo's first time in an unknown PET, and definitely wouldn't be their last, given how everything was going. Beaming out after the Warrior, the two took refuge to recharge with him, and began sharing what they could regarding the events leading up to their imprisonment, their imprisonment itself, and what happened after they escaped.
