Tully sprays the first X-Accuracy on himself, silently hoping the others can both stay alive and trick him as they've discussed.

Sana is certainly shivering at her uncertainty at holding the line for Tully's one shot plan. Her mind went backwards at how in the first place she got herself in this mess, which gradually gives her frustration worse than having periods.
That these people made her lose autograph money by killing Marietta. That they interfere with her league battle with Jace. She was pretty certain she can defeat Jace, and yet they interfered her battle. Then this vermin tried to sell her to slavery. Shouldn't she be the one irritated?
Sana bites the bitter pill and frowns, and brings out Joy.

The Hyper Beam makes contact with Jaces' barrier. They see it hold only for a split second before the integrity folds and shatters.
The attack travels further down the hall towards Jace and Sana. The power and speed of the attack was dampened thanks to the barrier but the danger is still present.
Jace and Sana roll for Athletics or Acrobatics to evade the attack.

Tully grimaces, sprays the second X-Accuracy on himself and takes up the Master Ball, readying his throw.

Jace and Sana side step from the attack without hassle. Almost a bit too simple.
Jeremiah distances himself from Nadar. His outstretched hand begs for the group to stop it as the beam hits the focus of their protection.
"Lets see what are you're hiding behind that door!" Jasmine says at the peak of his rage.
------------------------
The castle doors come crashing down as the hinges are broken off from the force of Jas' attack. Adjacent to the defense point is another unveiled area. The future beyond is black, for only the spiral staircase calls out to their vision.
For Sana, something shatters within the depths of her mind. A space occupied by her fiery persona, Ruby. A discomfort causes her whole body to shudder for only a moment. The wind suddenly feels too cold and her head feels like it was struck with the reverse side of a hammer. Ruby falls to silence.
Ruby is temporarily unavailable
Meanwhile the shards in Tully's pocket start to heat his thigh. He notices that Nadar is reacting the same way.
The gods perches himself on a nearby wall. Suitable to look down upon his subjects. Jasmine scans the nearby players and instantly, from point A to B, rushes the distressed Sana. Wielding her by the nape of her neck.
Jasmine speaks aloud with his chest puffed and head held high. "Tobias, I command you to turn off that ridiculous mind jammer and offer your head for your insolence. The minds I can read are hers and the boy that ran away, so doing it now serves no purpose." The black ichor returns and covers Jasmine's arm. Some droplets fall and singe Sana's flesh. "If not, I can have a field day cutting up this replacement. Or maybe I can kill her like that other one. If my memory serves me right, it was something like this,"
Jasmine gazes at a piece of rubble from the fallen door. Swapping the rock with the severed facial features of a friend once with them, Marietta. Her head lays rolling from side to side as blood accumulates, running under Jace and Sana's feet. Mouth reaching for life, lacking the bodily functions to get Marietta back to an average girl. A fish out of water. Smaller life devour at her flesh as the remains are left decomposing until she reaches stasis. Jack, at a distance, comes running at Jasmine for a miracle chance to attack.
Jasmine, looking tranquil, stares at Tobias who hopefully plays his final game.

He was trying to get a rise out of him. If it was anybody but Jasmine, Jace would call his bluff. But Jasmine would callously dispose of anybody, likely for no reason at all. Instead, he made a gambit. Possibly his final gambit.
"The jig is up, Tully. He's too fast anyway. Have Tobias lower the shield." Jace said into the distance. Truly, Jace had no idea where Tully was. What he hoped was that Tully would send out Chance transformed as him. Chance would then have Tobias lower the shield. This trick would only hold up for a few precious seconds, but hopefully that would be all Tully needed.
Of course, Tully could not understand Jace's plan and think his bluff was a legitimate surrender. In that case they were screwed, but Jace knew Tully. Tully would know something was up.

Tully's eyes widen at Jace's words. Thinking quickly, he tries to figure out what they mean. He knows Jace wouldn't scupper the plan like that, but unless there's another Tully around... ah! Tully releases Chance and Otto and quickly whispers a plan in their ears. Nodding, Chance assumes Tully's form, takes Tully's offer coat, and comes out with Otto in tow. "Alright," Chance says in Tully's terrified voice, "but Tobias, don't. We're gonna die anyway,..."Tobias nods, "I agree, better to do it without this thing in our heads.""Tully" nods back as he and Otto stand next to Sana, clearly trembling. "I do got one question, though."

Jasmine motions his hand to halt Tully and Otto before they get too close. About six feet away from the group.
Jack comes to a stop at Tully's sudden interruption. Bringing more people into this was not what he had in mind. Very subtly, water jets from Jas' palm into Otto, sending the Weavile back a few feet. "This is me holding back. You answer to me! What were you plotting back there?"
To the pokemon, his voice felt like sweet death caressing their jawline and whispering in their ear. Meanwhile, the shards are behaving differently since the door was torn down. The faint glow is becoming ever more brighter as time passes.

Course you're holdin' back. Tully thinks. And that's your final mistake!
Otto grunts as he's knocked back, badly hurt but not out. He drops to his knee for a moment, faking that the kit was worse than it was (and it was pretty bad) before leaping forward and stamping on Jasmine's foot. Even if Jasmine wasn't a physical god, the attack have barely hurt, but it does distract him for a moment, giving Chance an opening to throw Tully's coat over his head.
Tully watches all this, the events seeming to go in slow motion in his mind as he goes to strike.
For as much as he prides himself on his pragmatism, he does find himself being tempted by the allure of style.
He's tempted to leap out and make a show of the throw. He doesn't.
He's tempted to make some sort of quip, like "Catch!" or "Ooh, a shiny!". He doesn't.
He's extremely tempted to simply wait for Nadar or Jasmine to turn in his direction so that he can see the look in their eyes as they realize what's happening. He still doesn't.
This is too important. Jas and Nadar can do any number of things to avoid or stop the ball, but only if they know about it. Thus, Tully makes sure the two are looking away and distracted and, even then, makes sure he can't be seen as he throws, aiming the ball at Jas's waist, below the coat.
As such, the first anyone knows about the ball is the moment Jasmine is hit and by then, with any luck, it's already too late.

Jasmine looks at Otto charging him. Seeing as Tully and Otto have no regrets he proceeds to strike at Sana's throat.
Until his vision of 'Tully' is obscured by Chance. With the same hand, a beam of light shoots through the coat and engulfs Chance. The illusion wears off and Jasmine goes wide eyed. He discounted Tully's trick once again as a Master Ball hits his waist. Aware of what he is, but not what that entails, God attempts to redirect the beam to destroy the pokeball. He himself turns into a great light, the sunset pales in comparison to its beauty.
Nadar is speechless as he takes a moment to observe. So does the members of Paradiso.
The ball drops, ferociously rolling around the floor.
*wobble...* *wobble...* *wobble...*
A small crack surfaces from the pokeball.
