"So here we are." Lucius said chuckling. "A Fallen Pirate reduced to bones, two robots of the deceased scientist Dr Light, a robotic body operated from a girl in the hospital, and a suit of armor with only a soul. Ahahaha! I should have known my ability wouldn't affect you since you have no hearts."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Alphonse asked.
"It means that I get to reduce you to scrap metal, dust and ashes." Lucius said smiling. "Before I move on to my real plan."
"Real plan?" Roll asked.
"This place...it's nothing but a side dish compared to what is about to happen. Devouring the hearts of everyone in the 20 universes!" Lucius said.
"You wanted us to take down Yamigedo so that the Multiverse could be restored. Every single universe is gonna be an all you can Eat buffet." Al said.
"That was actually a happy accident. And I can do it all here. I'll devour all the hearts. Except for the dud there." Lucius said pointing to Flux.
"Hey!" Flux said.
"Why keep Flux alive?" Roll asked.
"I've tasted a Flux Family heart before. It tastes awful. I don't need such an awful taste in my mouth." Lucius said.
"I'm right here! You know I'm here." Flux said angrily.
"You're not gonna gorge yourself." Al said as he brung his hands together as alchemic electricity sparked from his hands. "We're gonna stop you."
"You really think you can stop me? Even when your fearless leaders couldn't?" Lucius asked.
"We have to at least try." Abby said. "Activating Action Game App!" she said charging at him.
"Gum Gum Pistol!" Lucius shouted stretching his arm and countering her.
"He has every ability of our friends." Al said. "Wait, if he has all their strengths…"
Al clapped his hands together and slammed the ground as chains came and shackled Lucius, and they had a certain transmutation to them.
"Grgh…. What? I feel so… weak! What the hell…?!" Lucius said.
"Sea Prism Stone. Basic Devil Fruit power restraint. If you collect all the abilities of our friends… you also have their weaknesses!" Al stated, shocking Lucius.
"He figured out the double edged sword to my ability. This is the first time anyone's ever figured it out. But...I have more than devil fruit powers." Lucius said as he kicked the chains apart and charged. "Fire Dragon Wing Attack!"
"Natsu's Fire Dragon Slayer attacks." Al said.
"Thankfully Natsu has his own Kryptonite." Megaman said running to the controls and pressing a button making the ship shake and Lucius hold his stomach.
"What? How did…." Lucius said.
"I see. Dragon Slayers suffer from motion sickness. Megaman turned off the stabilizer of the ship." Abby said.
"And he has three Dragon Slayers in there, so it's three times as nauseating." Brook said.
"Grr. Curaga!" Lucius said as magic was healing him.
"He has magic too!" Al said.
"Quick! Run...and carry me with you!" Flux said.
"Why?" Roll asked.
"I'll explain on the way. Just run!" Flux said as they grabbed him as they ran.
"Hmm. Cowards." Lucius said as he got up and went back outside. "Now...let us begin. Forbidden….Extinction!" Lucius shouted as he opened his mouth as hearts from the 20 universes were going into him.
"You better have a good reason for doing this, Flux!" Brook said. "He's already devouring the hearts of all the universes."
"I think...I have a plan...to stop Lucius for good." Flux said.
"Well, now's a good time to lay it out on us!" Al said.
"Lucius is distracted right now devouring hearts. I expect it to take him at least 15 minutes. Its enough time to set up the teleporter and sabotage the engines." Flux said.
"You mean you're gonna blow up your ship and take Lucius with it?" Al said.
"Yeah. The teleporter will take him to the Ocean Universe and when the engines explode, he'll be standing a top of a sinking ship." Flux said.
"Like the wordplay, but there are a few complications. The hearts he's got, and the three bodies." Abby said as she was feeling weak.
"Abby!" Brook said.
"Her real body's heart is being taken as we speak." Flux said. "Look, if we pull this off, Lucius will die and every heart he devoured will return to their owners. Only problem...we'd go down with the ship as well."
"What?" Brook said.
"All my ships were taken when I gave the Universal Villains the order to flee. But, even if we die, we'll be remembered as heroes to the people." Flux said.
"Don't say that! There's no way we're gonna die! We still have dreams to fulfill!" Brook said.
"Nonetheless, one of us has to make a sacrifice." Roll said.
"There wouldn't be enough time." Flux said.
'Don't….give up." a voice echoed in their minds.
"What?" Flux said.
"Don't….give up. Please...save us." voices were echoing.
"Are those….the voices of the hearts he's devoured?" Roll asked.
"All of them. They're crying out for help." MegaMan said.
Al was astonished as he gripped his fists. "Get Flux to the engines. I'm not going with you guys."
"Al...you're not thinking…" Roll said.
"I'm just a soul stuck in a suit of armor! He can't steal my heart. But...all of these people. I can't just let them suffer!" Al said.
"Alphonse." MegaMan said before looking serious. "Go ahead to the engines. I'll get his back." MegaMan said.
"Mega…" Al said.
"I don't know what it means to have a heart nor what it means to have a soul. But, Jexi, he gave me a place to belong when I had nothing. I won't let that kindness be lost." MegaMan said.
"Okay, Rock. Let's save our friends." Al said as the two ran off.
Lucius in the meanwhile was finishing his feast. "Ah. Perfect. All of the universes have gone silent. Oh, sweet silence." Lucius smiled.
"Lucius The Forbidden One!" Al said as he and Megaman stepped up. "There are still voices you have to silence."
"Oh, why must I fail to just have complete and utter peace? You know you have no chance of defeating me. True, I do gain weaknesses, but other powers make up for them." Lucius said.
"Lucius, there's no way we're going to allow you to continue this." MegaMan said.
"Oh? Is that right? Why don't you just try and stop me?" Lucius said smiling.
Al made his hands of his armor spark with Alchemical Electricity.
"Oh, we won't just try. We will." Al said.
Mega Man readied his Mega Buster as he fired at Lucius as he dodged between shots.
"Useless! Ice Devil's Destruction Fist!" Lucius said before Al blocked it as his arm froze.
"You won't get away with any of this!" Al shouted as he pushed Lucius off.
"Then I'll take you out with a single punch." Lucius said. "Texas…"
"He's going to use One for All on us." MegaMan said.
"SMA…" Lucius began.
"Air Burst!" a voice shouted as an attack hit Lucius from behind.
"Wait, that attack…" MegaMan said before the two of them looked outside to see Bass floating outside.
"Bass?" Al asked before realizing. "Oh, i get it. You're here because of Yang."
"That human...is the only one that gives me a challenge. I won't let you leave her for dead...because I want to be the one to kill her!" Bass shouted.
"Useless, Useless, Useless…!" Lucius said getting more unstable. "MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!"
"Cross Burst!" Bass shouted tossing electrical sparks as they attacked Lucius in a diagonal range.
"Wraaaaaah! The…" Lucius began as he held his stomach. "What...what is…" Lucius said.
"You...have to stop." a voice echoed inside him.
"Gold's son? But...why is his heart...speaking to me?" Lucius pondered as he held his head in pain. "Gaaah!"
"You may have our hearts and our powers, but there's one thing you don't have…" David's voice said. "Our souls!"
"You….you shouldn't even be speaking. This...this has never happened before." Lucius before. "Shut up! I am in charge! I order you to shut up!"
"Poor deluded Lucius…" David's voice said. "Haven't you been told to never eat too much?"
"Grrr! Why are you still talking?" Lucius demanded. "You all...should have quieted the moment I devoured you!"
"Tough luck, madman." Hope's voice said.
"Even the blue one speaks? How...how can this be possible?" Lucius demanded.
"He's completely lost it. He's just talking to himself." Bass said.
"Don't be so sure." Al said.
"Hey, Bass, Al, MegaMan. You guys? You can hear us right?" Jexi's voice asked.
"Yes. We can hear you." Al said.
"Good. Sorry of this is sudden, but we need Bass to do this." Jexi's voice said.
"Me? Why me though?" Bass asked.
"You wanna fight Yang again sometime right? Well, if you do what we're about to ask, you can fight her as much as you want." Jexi said.
"Okay. What do I have to do?" Bass asked smiling.
Al then ringed up Brook. "Brook, you, Roll and Flux heard those voices, right?"
"Loud and clear through our ears. Although… I don't even have any ears! Yohohoho!" Brook laughed.
"What is it?" Flux asked.
"Jexi's got a plan and he needs Bass to do it. So call off your plan." Megaman said.
"Uh...where were you 5 minutes ago cause it already went into motion." Flux said.
"Oh no…." Al said. "Jexi! David, Hope, if you can hear me, Flux rigged his ship to blow and teleport us to the Ocean Universe."
"Well, it won't matter for long." Jexi said. "Bass, listen, this might be strange. But I need you to punch Lucius in his stomach."
"His stomach?" Bass asked.
"Yes. We don't have time to explain so just do it." David said.
"Okay. You three better keep your word!" Bass said pulling in arm back.
"Don't worry." Hope said.
"Here it comes!" Bass shouted lunging at Lucius. "Earth….Breaker!" he shouted hitting Lucius in the stomach. With his mouth open, three hearts flew out as they entered the bodies on the floor.
"Ugh. You little...why would you…" Lucius groaned.
"Why would he do that?" a voice said behind Lucius that astonished him.
"But….that...can't be." Lucius said turning his head as Jexi was getting up.
"You may be able to devour hearts, but you can't control them. They aren't your playthings." Jexi said.
"And Jexi and I know a bunch of guys who agree with us." Hope said getting up.
"No… no you too..!" Lucius said as he saw David getting up too.
"Like I said before, you shouldn't have bitten off more than you can chew." David said.
"I see. So this was your plan." Bass said.
"Yeah. I can't believe I'm saying this but, thank you Bass." Hope said.
"Now...it's time." Jexi said. "We're settling what we started."
