IA: I smell a new form.
ET: Then I need to update your senses cause its... Hard to explain, but spoilers, you become weaker.
IA: WHAT?!
ET: You'll see.
"I'm back, bitch." I was punched in the jaw that something that moved as I could, and nothing should be able to. I put up a shield and mended my jaw to find Arnold punching it. I swore I had... "Killed me? Yes, the old one." He broke the shield and materialized a pistol. "Though I'm all new." He shot me in the face, and I knew my relaxed state could not win. I needed to charge!
"No, Izimoto. I realized that I made a mistake of letting you live." I looked up to see a person who looked like me, not Izimoto, but I Dark Soul, except no X's for pupils and more proper attire and a long silver trench coat. "Arnold, take care of him, my other creation, my dinosaur of destruction, take care of the rest." I looked at... HOLY SHIT! That dinosaur had the body of a T-Rex, the wings of a dragon/pterodactyl, the arms of a spinosaurus, a spiked mace tail, the neck of a brachiosaurus, and a raptor head. To top it all off it had fire breath.
"We got it Dark, handle our rejuvenated friend!" Pierce stated as he went over to Zemyx, who was immobile. I had to get to Xemnax too, but Arnold stepped in front of me and dismissed his pistol.
"Arnold, I don't want to do this." I stated, raising my hands.
"I do not wish to either, but I shall. I am six if you are a four." Great, just great. 'Still want to risk powering up?' 'No, but I think I want to get Xemnax.' 'True.' "Stop talking to Izimoto and fight!" I blocked Arnold, and punched him in the face, but really went for his stomach but he blocked, and when I expected him to kick my ribcage he went for my knee cap.
"He is made to be the perfect counter to you Dark Soul, when you tried to access the old one's data cube it got your DNA, so it was just a matter of regenerating your brain and then putting on the same implications and changes that you go through when you transform and programmed Arnold to counter that."
Morgoo and I were going at it, one wrecking ball and one gauntlet. "That's sounds extremely complicated for a person that can hack my dreams that they are a Gen 1 Pokémon ROM!" Arnold kicking the wrecking ball back and dodged the chain linked gauntlet punch and pulled me into a face punch, which I used as an opportunity to kick him in the stomach. He fell for it which allowed me to trip him up, smash him with the wrecking ball and hit him with the fastest Aura Cannon I could muster, and Morgoo and I ran over to Xemnax, who was still sitting brain dead next to Zemyx and Ionna. I realized that the Dino was being held up by most of the goddesses. Though four were missing...
"Morgoo!" My Dogoo turned my head to the four CPUs who were taking on Arnold.
"No beefcake, no laying hands on Darky! We haven't had enough fun yet..." Iris Heart. I feared what I would owe her.
"No hurting onii-chan!" Peas, I needed to be a better brother.
"Izimoto, Dark Soul, whoever is in control of that powerhouse of a body, do what you need to do, and fast or else!" I smirked at Blanc's snarled and turned back to Xemnax.
"We will protect them as if they were our continents!" Purple Heart declared as I punched Xemnax in the shoulder.
"We tried that, nothing happened, and I'm getting madder and madder!" Pierce declared as he punched the car itself instead of Zemyx.
"Anonydeath said the gauntlets were like machines, yet they contained a high level of magic, right?" Percy asked, and I nodded, trying to tickle the body of my gauntlet. "Do any of you have Thunder Punch?" I raised my hand. "Hit them with all you got! What do you do with a car when it's battery's dead? Jumpstart it, so get to punching! With some thunder if you don't mind." I activated the skill and punched Xemnax in the face. He twitched a couple times, and stiffened.
"System rebooting. Time until fully operational, ten minutes. Requests?"
"Engage onto my arm and lend power to me." The entirely robotic Xemnax obeyed and reverted to a gauntlet and latched onto my fist. I Thunder Punched the other gauntlets back to life who gave the same robotic responses as Xemnax. They latched on, and the others couldn't obtain Gauntlet Armor Mode for five minutes. "Xemnax, if I am at one-hundred percent then add you, what percentage would I be at?"
"Approximately one-hundred fifty percent." I nodded and trucked Arnold, slamming him into a tree.
"Girls, I mtach him now! Help take care of the monster!" They all nodded and I summoned my blade, Arnold summoning one of his own. We clashed repeatedly, sparks flying and his eyes staying covered by the sunglasses.
"Three minutes passed. Would you like to summon a weapon?"
I pushed back against Arnold and Thunder Punched him. "Another blade!" I gained a dagger and went going twice as fast with both blades, kicking Arnold into a tree, and charging again. He blocked my next strike and forced me back with a slap that I wasn't able to predict.
"Six minutes passed. Do you wish for an idea?"
"Yes, please!" I asked, sending the car I drove at Arnold, which he took full force and was actually struggling.
"Arnold S. is programmed to counter Dark Soul, and most likely Izimoto. Though a halfway point containing a mixture of both styles wouldn't be so farfetched to defeat him, correct?"
"That's brilliant!" 'Revert! He's recovering!' I did and Izimoto took over. 'Okay, stop when the dark column begins to form, and that should be it.' 'Won't I be extremely buff though?' 'Your bulk will make up for your loss of speed.' 'On it!'
"Morgoo! See if you can do something with the darkness you'll feel!" My Dogoo barked and I began to transform again, beefing up and my clothes changing to be mainly black with silver streaks all over my new outfit, which surprisingly didn't but strain on my new muscles and only my left pupil expanded into an X. I stood straight, not sure if to call this a new form. I was still Izimoto, but Dark's style ran through my head clearly and I could summon weapons with ease. I did something would do, and equipped my guns to my arms, yet used Dark's dual wielding style to combat Arnold. I grinned and charged and he blocked his face and chest, yet I shot him in the foot and sliced his leg. A quadruple fake out, and he dropped his guard to raise his blade, but my eyes danced with mirth as I kicked him away.
Man, I hate main character status! I mean lets see, Izimoto has his base, Aura Boost, Gauntlet Armor Mode, semi Anti Soul, three separate unseen forms, Dark Soul, and now what I guess would be Dark Izimoto! Despite Gauntlet Armor Ionna was still entirely robotic, and when I needed a strategist helping me survive when I was facing Barney on crack that was bad.
"Percy, if you could stop monologuing we could use the help!" I looked up at Pierce who was parrying its claws with White Heart. Yellow Heart and the White Sisters were slicing at its wings and Uni and Nepgear were shooting its face. I was being flanked by Black Heart, Purple Heart, Green Heart to slice off its tail.
"Gotcha bitch!" I was kicked in the face by Zorcan trying to pull a Chuck Norris roundhouse which somehow DIDN'T break my face and armor. "New body! Trust me, I'll be used to it soon!" He was still all powerful from what I sensed, but he chose a new body? He's just fancy Dark Soul, and Dark himself is pretty slick already so what? I couldn't recover, so when I was ready to flip over to catch myself into the ground when I crashed into something soft.
"Who is that Percy?" I looked up to find Iris Heart holding me and I floated back up.
"A person who isn't used to his body, I say we leave him for now and take down the monstrosity!" I raised my blade and Nazo leaked out of my armor, barking happily. "What did you do?"
"Whew, I'm full rebooted. Now then... Sweet Zorcan what is that thing?!" Ah, that was Ionna. "Okay, from what I gathered from your head its a Mega Evolved Super Dino. Dammit! You know what, whatever. This expansion will be harder to control, but Nazo gave you the ability to expand your armor like he expands himself. Though you won't grow and I have to do most of the controlling and you have to give intructions."
"Got it!" I took and deep breath and began to yell like a madman, my armor growing story by story until it was one-hundred fifty feet tall, yet Ionna was right. I had to fly to stay in center of my creation. "Ionna, do you have data on the T-Rex roar?"
"Yes," She said confused, "why?"
"Do the thing!" My armor trembled as it released the amazing roar and I told Ionna to truck the fusion dinosaur. I had to fly forward in the empty space to avoid being smashed into the back. "Uppercut to the stomach!" We punched the thing higher into the air and everyone flew away.
"Someone punch that thing towards me fast!" I heard Izimoto yell and Pierce had him covered as he flew behind the airborne disfiguration and blasted it towards Arcoga's voice. "TERMINATOR PARK CONFIRMED!" I watched as two powerful beings collided caused by a team up a half Soul half human combo working together with a full human with the power to blast large outbursts of energy because a person in armor taller than the Empire State State building uppercutted a fusion of extremely large and powerful dinosaurs and a dragon with ease. If this wasn't jumping the shark, humanity wasn't a thing. "Everyone, lets play ping pong!" Izimoto rose in the air and activated Dark Scale Breaker, showing that he was in fact buffer than than ever before. "Pierce, join us and allow us to teach these beings how to face the DARK!"
I don't think I was breathing anymore, I was just living off hype. Pierce grew to our size as well as the older CPUs slapped it over to him. The latest titan slapped it over to the candidates and Yellow Heart who happily sent it over to me. "IRIS FLASH!" I made Ionna raised our hands and blasted the combo of genetic experimentation over to Dark Izimoto who had to let out a crazed laugh.
"Can you fly? SURE YOU CAN NIGGAS! Pierce, follow me up!" Dark Izimoto sent that thing so high I wasn't sure if Pierce could catch up with it. The Leanbox Gauntlet Wielder proved me wrong as he burst into the air so fast that when the split in half dinosaur came back down it took both CPU and candidate to stop it from hitting the ground and causing to much destruction. Though Arnold came down and punched my armor so hard that it shattered, and Ionna cried out in agony, like she did after Zorcan did it that one time. My eyes blew up in raw flames as I leaped out of my wreckage of my titan armor with my bracelet sword engaged and growing by the second as I charged the angry Austrian.
"YOU TASTE PAIN AND DEATH! NOW! ULTRA CROSS COMBINATION" Once my sword was fifty feet long I could help but not hold back as I completely tore through the fake skin, the mechanics, what little personality there was of the artificial human, feeling like I was a Soul again. "IRIS FLASH!" My whole body glowed as I blasted the hell out of him. I fell, out of stamina, SP, morale, and anger. The job was done.
After that unbelievable amount of testosterone Zemyx and I realized we had very little energy we had left and dropped the titan mode, then Gauntlet Armor mode, my axes, and then ourselves. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a passed out Percy being caught by Lady Green Heart and I crashed into the ground face first, causing quite the bloody mess. I know I'm the serious one, but why do I have to get hurt so much? I laid there for awhile, writing my will subconsciously, hoping they'd dissect my brain or something allowing for them to find it. "Hey, is it still alive?" I will have to return the stabs to Izimoto myself then.
"No clue, even though its breathing. Hit it with that data cube thing!" I swear if Izimoto actually listens to Perc... Damn it Izimoto!
"Hey, its aura level is growing and shrinking at random! Oh no... I think he's drowning in his own blood! Perc, help!"
"I have no stamina!"
"Percival!"
"Fine, fine. We would have been down a wielder, so? We could have made me as permanently as strong as half of Dark Soul!"
"That would be the end of us all, just kidding. Dark would kill you in a Aura Cannon." They wiped the blood out of my eyes, and we turned to the CPUs and CPU candidates. "Oh come on! What do you want now?"
I looked to find Zorcan grinning evilly at us, raising a hand. "I've grown tired of you... Time to..." A strange portal opened behind him and two arms shirt out and got him in a full Nelson! "Brother, are you serious?!" Zorcan roared angry, yet unable to escape the full Nelson as he was dragged into it, and portal closed.
"What just happened?"
"It is finally time!" Zorcan's brother stated, rubbing his hands together. "They are coming to my dimension, and so are the other two!"
Zorcan growled. "They are not ready!"
"You were denied access to the other dimension, but mine is ripe for the dropping! In fact, let's make it more fun! No gauntlets, but infinite time on their bracelet weapons and their pets indestructible! That should equal the gauntlets."
Zorcan still shook his head. "I still say no!"
Zorcan's brother clucked his tongue. "Where is your sense of adventure, you were about to kill them!"
"Yes, me, I, not your twisted alterations!" Zorcan bellowed, shaking the pocket dimension with his anger.
"It's fated brother, he will never unlock Light Soul in a world already filled with so much light, he needs to face darkness, I mean, you didn't make that cage that holds Light Soul, did you?" Zorcan looked away, still trying to find a way to talk his brother out it. "It was your dimension, and if you were to kill him now without all his forms unlocked your next subject of study wouldn't have the forms at all, the cycle wouldn't work anymore. So he needs to go through everything!" Zorcan's brother waved his hand, the chess board, which was still empty of all the pieces except for Dark Soul and Light Soul. "The people must die, as they are the ones who will awake his inner primal beast, which would be him." Another piece appeared on the board, Anti form Izimoto. "Though the whole we reason to do it is for the cream of the crop." The pieces floated into the air and spun around until they fused in a burst of silver and landed back on the board. "Twilight Soul has been growing with each incarnation, and maybe you will learn how. That is your goal is it not? To learn where Twilight Soul gains such immense power from three forms that combined don't even equal of quarter of his power?" Zorcan nodded, taking the piece in hand, staring into the little things pupils which were a fused X and +. "Then he must learn to be the light of a dark world as he as learned to be the dark of a light world. He must learn to free an animal that slept within for far too long, and free himself."
Zorcan nodded slowly, placing the piece on the ground and making it life size. "What if... What if he is too strong?"
"Hm?"
"You heard me. His power multiplies each time, and along with the gauntlets, along with Aura Boost, could he match us?"
"One of us, but not both of us."
"You are correct when you say that Twilight Soul is an amalgamation of all the other Souls, but still he is a separate form, and he can make the other Souls fuse with the other wielders and then more of the trouble."
"Like I have said, he will free the beast, and the beast will not care as whatever gets in his way will die. Before we know, there will be no other gauntlet wielders, no other pieces. Just the king, Izimoto. That is all you need."
"Fine heathen, do as you wish. They cannot be together when they arrive though." The brother, entirely serious nodded, as he could tell the god was pondering destructive things, and went to set up the wielders travels.
