Issue 18: Strength of Mortals
Skyworld, Palutena's Temple
BGM-Sonic 3D Blast (Mega Drive) OST-Panic Puppet Zone Act 1
The Aurum invasion, led by members of the Masters of Evil, have almost completely mechanized all of Pit's world. The beautiful flowers grow dark and sick. The humans losing their homes, and lives to the unstoppable Aurum troops. The whole landscape of the planet creepily gets converted to metal. The only hope left for the world lies in the mortal and god alliance between the D-Avengers, Pit and the gods of his world to push back the Aurum and defeat the Masters of Evil.
While Spider-Man's on his computer, completing the virus to reverse the robotization, Palutena and Ero direct the others heroes to a projection of the semi-mechanized world and the Death Egg floating in space, the base of the Aurum that is shooting a large beam that's the cause of the world-wide robotization.
"About 76% of the planet has already been converted and it continues to spread." Palutena informed the heroes of the current situation. "We have no time to waste. We are launching a full-scale assault at the Aurum's main base, the Death Egg, to reverse the robotization and destroy the Aurum Brain."
"Still can't believe Metal brought back the Death Egg." Sonic said. "I mean, look at this thing. It's starting to thin." He joked as he points to the hologram of the Death Egg, which is shaped a little thinner than usual, more "egg" like than ever before.
"Which leaves you and the others the perfect team to infiltrate the base with little trouble." Palutena smiled.
"Leave it to us! We'll blow that station out of the sky, or space." Pit said.
"Not until I reverse the robotization." Spidey said as he stands up from his computer. "I've developed a virus that should do the trick. Just get me close enough to the Aurum Brain so I can give it something to choke on. Then we can blow that station out of orbit."
"Sounds like a plan!" Pit replied.
"It won't be easy." Lucina warned. "It's possible we'll have to face Metal Sonic and Mecha Spider-Man again, and we're all aware how powerful they are."
"Two members of Team Superior. You think it's possible "he" is here?" Weiss asked her friends about a certain hybrid hedgehog that possess their DNA.
"Who's he?" Pit asked.
"Very likely." Sonic answered Weiss's question.
"Who are you guys talking about?" Pit asked, still out of the loop.
"No matter." Sonic grinned as he tosses up the Exo Dream Stone. "If he shows up, I'll use this. It's time I go all-out with this baby."
"Again: Who's he?!" Pit asked, starting to raise his voice as no one seems to be paying attention to him.
"And if that isn't enough, Ero and I have your back. Right, partner?" Spidey turned to his partner spider-beast.
Ero smiled, "Heh. I have to get off my ass once in a while, unlike a certain goddess." He muttered, receiving a flick to the head by an irritated Palutena that he growls at.
Pit sighs, as no one seems to be paying attention to him even after practically yelling, "I give up."
"What's wrong, Pit?" Peter asked him.
"Nothing, nothing."
"Sorry if we've been ignoring you." Pete apologized as he puts his hand on the angel's shoulder. "C'mon," He hands him the Laser Staff. "It's time to save your world."
Pit smiled then happily nodded, "Right! Let's finish the Aurum once and for all!"
Spidey smiled as he puts on his Spider-Armor, then joins his friends to the door that'll teleport them out into space, with Lucina and Weiss materializing their space suits just in time as they fly at top speed towards the Death Egg and its massive fleet of islands and battleships.

BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Aurum Brain
'This is it, fellow gods! Our last chance to dispose of these aliens out of the galaxy!' Loki exclaimed.
'Commencing Underworld assault on the Aurum central nervous system!' Hades exclaimed as he sends his Monoeyes to battle some Tribytes and flying Aurum Badniks.
'Children! Phosphora! Our final target is the brains behind this operation! The Aurum Brain!' Viridi commanded her children to attack the Aurum Grimm.
"On it, Mistress Viridi!" Phosphora replied as she joins the D-Avengers to blast some flying Aurum Octobots.
'Sun god Pyrrhon on the scene! Now with added Pyro Cannon action!' Pyrrhon flew ahead and fired a stream of fire on Aurum enemies.
'With all us gods—er, and Pyrrhon—united, the Aurum Brain doesn't stand a chance.' Palutena said.
"It's kind of crazy! The biggest egos in the universe working together?" Pit wondered.
"It happens sometimes." Spidey replied as he's been involved in bitter alliances between heroes and villains.
'Let us see how you fare against our combined power!' Loki exclaimed, taunting the Aurum.
'Drive the intruders back into space, minions!' Hades ordered.
'We cannot lose! Our planet's very existence is on the line!' Viridi said.
'Do your thing, Pyro Snake! Shazammitylam!' Pyrrhon blasted an island with his flames.
"Everyone seems to be in good spirits, though." Lucina said.
'Or they've finally lost it.' Palutena replied.
"Judging from whatever Pyrrhon said…yeah." Weiss remarked as they and Phosphora slowly approach the Death Egg.
'Now that we've defeated the Aurum Hive, we need to take down that fortress.' Palutena said.
"It's huge!" Pit exclaimed.
"Just like other Eggman's "fatty" space stations." Sonic joked.
'It houses the Aurum Brain, which controls every single Aurum unit. Destroy it should also sever the Masters' control over the Aurum too.' Palutena said.
"How did you know that?" Spidey asked.
'Oh, Pyrrhon told me.'
"Sounds suspicious. He showed up, out of nowhere, when the Aurum starting attacking."
"Man, is that guy obsessed with the Aurum or what? He sure knows a lot about them." Sonic said.
"That's because I spend a lot of time on Divinipedia." Pyrrhon replied as he flies besides them.
"Is that a thing?" Lucina asked.
"If it is, send us a link." Pit requested.
"The time for learning has passed. Attack the Aurum Bra-!"
BGM End
Pyrrhon was immediately cut off when a terrifying creature composed of purple energy with a skeleton body and two enormous arms suddenly burst out of the Death Egg, smacking the sun god, Phosphora, Pit, and the Avengers far away from the space station. With a single powerful roar, the aura beast charges its mouth blast and completely decimates all the united gods' armies. Most of the Underworld Army and the Forces of Nature have been utterly destroyed without a single trace left of them.
No question, everyone was absolutely flabbergasted how much they've lost in such a short amount of time. 'WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?! That thing took out our armies in a single blow!' Viridi exclaimed, and rightfully so.
'What kind of power is this?!' Palutena exclaimed. 'Whatever this energy is, it's shaking the whole world, no, our whole reality...'
'My, my. It looks like we have quite the monster to deal with.' Hades remarked.
"We know what it is." Sonic said, very familiar with this power and who commands it. He grins as he's about to speak, "It's been a while, Grimadoom."
BGM-Dragon Ball Super OST-The Birth of Merged Zamasu
The mysterious beast roars as it transforms into a violent tornado outside the Death Egg. Menacing red eyes glow from within the tornado before it burst away, revealing to be a hedgehog wearing a hooded cloak. And once he took off his hood, the mysterious being reveals himself to be none other than Grimadoom the Hedgehog.
"That's Grimadoom?!" Pit exclaimed, finally receiving the dreadful answer to his previous question.
"I knew it…I knew those robot flunkies couldn't get the job done." Grimadoom spoke, disappointed Metal Sonic and Mecha Spider-Man couldn't defeat the Avengers, even with their upgrades. With no warning, faster than they could breath, he teleports within the heroes' vicinity and easily kicks each and everyone one of them to a nearby floating island. Just that one kick leaves the heroes in the dust as they barely gather the strength to stand on a knee. Sonic was the first to regain his strength and quickly enters a speedy brawl with his double across the island, ending with a booming stalemate.
'He's as good as ever.' Sonic thought, already panting.
"Tired already? Want me to get you a drink?" Grimadoom mocked. "Though it doesn't seem like you have a lot of time, do you?"
'ANOTHER hedgehog?! Is there another Sonic look-a-like I'm not aware of?' Viridi asked.
'If I'm mistaken, he's an artificial being created by Dr. Doom, composed of the DNA of our worlds' strongest warriors. *' Loki informed. (Witness the birth of Grimadoom in *D-Avengers: Spider-Island DX Issue 7*)
'But his power…It's…It's nothing I've ever encountered before.' Palutena said, sweating a bit.
Spidey holds onto his chest as he and the other fighters stand up against the mighty Grimadoom. "Grimadoom. Didn't think you'd show your face after we embarrassed you on live television. *" He said. (Grimadoom and his team lost the finals in *D-Avengers: Transdimensional Racing Race 13*)
"That was old news, and old news bores me." Grimadoom replied.
'That sounded familiar.' Palutena said, remembering Hades said something completely similar when he first showed up to the scene.
'Oh my god, he's a hedgehog version of me! I love him already!' Hades said, smiling.
'Ugh! One of you is enough.' Viridi said.
"Hmm…So the beings talking in my head are the gods of this world, huh? Sasquatches are more interesting." Grimadoom insulted the KI gods as he finds them pathetic and lame, not to mention weak.
'NUH-UH! You did NOT compare me to a sasquatch!' Viridi shouted. 'The other two, maybe, but how dare you insult us! You better learn respect, rodent, or I'll-!'
With a simple, frightening glare into space, Grimadoom starts to telepathically crushes Viridi's mind, causing her to scream in pain before he stops with the torture. "Viridi!" Pit shouted if she's okay.
"Mistress Viridi! Are you alright?!" Phosphora asked.
They hear Viridi pant heavily, slowing recovering from that frightening head trauma. '…I-I'm okay…He almost crushed my mind like a grape…'
'How can that be?!' Palutena asked.
"Grimadoom's powers came from the Exo Espeon Stone," Spidey started explaining, "Combined with his stolen psychic powers, his telepathic abilities are EASILY among the strongest."
"He could crush all our minds in a single stroke if he wasn't so cocky." Weiss added.
"There would be no one to admire my wonderful personality if everyone's catatonic." Grimadoom quipped.
"But you guys HAVE beaten him before?" Pit asked.
"Heh. Barely." Sonic replied as he continues to stare seriously at his confident clone. "Make no mistake. Grimadoom is, without a doubt, our strongest foe. He can destroy a whole planet. The potential to destroy a WHOLE universe if he gets really serious. *" The blue hedgehog informed his godly allies what they're up against. (Even the might of Hyper Sonic barely won their climatic fight in *D-Avengers: Spider-Island DX Issue 17*)
'A whole universe?!' Palutena exclaimed in shock and horror.
'You must be joking! That would make him stronger than us! Stronger than the gods!' Viridi exclaimed in denial.
'Ooooh boy. I think we're in trouble.' Hades sang.
"It's so nice. I'm glad you're all learning how "awesome" I am." Grimadoom joked. "You have my word I won't destroy the universe, that is, unless it's by accident." He evilishly smirked while chuckling sinisterly.
BGM End
Pyrrhon takes a quick look at the Death Egg then down on the planet it's robotizing. "We don't have time, fellow heroes. We must attack the Aurum Brain while there's still a world to save."
"We have to get past him first, and it won't be easy." Lucina said, gripping onto her sheathed sword if Grimadoom initiates a battle.
'We have no other choice. You're going to have to engage Grimadoom and deal with him quickly.' Palutena instructed.
"Don't worry. I have things covered here, guys. You go and stop the Aurum Brain!" Sonic said to his pals, wanting to deal with Grimadoom alone.
"Oh, come on! Stop being the hero. This was supposed to be MY story, remember?" Pit complained, wanting to get his time to shine.
"We're just crossing over. You gotta learn to share, dude." Sonic grinned at Pit.
"But you keep stealing the spotlight!"
"Every hero has their moment. You'll get yours."
"'Sides, you haven't fought Grimadoom as much as we have. You don't know what he's capable of. Just leave it to Sonic. He and Grimadoom do have a little rivalry going on." Spidey explained why it's best for Sonic to deal with Grimadoom.
Pit growled, but reluctantly understands what is right for the mission, "Okay. Guess it's natural for two hedgehogs to go at it."
"Like peanut butter and chocolate." Spidey quipped as he hovers to the sky.
"Is that supposed to make any sense?" Weiss asked him as everyone minus Sonic heads back to the Death Egg while he deals with some unfinished business with the hybrid super hedgehog.
BGM-Dragon Ball Kai 2014 OST-Theme of Piccolo
"I don't have time to play with you all day, so I'm gonna end this quick." Sonic grinned at the self-supreme hedgehog.
"Go ahead. Show me your power with the Dream Stone." Grimadoom grinned.
Sonic chuckles, taking out the rainbow Exo Stone from his quills. He closes his eyes, gripping hard onto the stone as a bright silver light starts to emanate from it and encompasses Sonic in it. 'Something's happening.' Palutena remarked as the light shines brighter than before, forcing everyone to shield their eyes from its radiance. As the light diminishes, everyone notices Sonic slight change in appearance. His overall body looks the same as before, except his blue quills are spiked up like he's super, and his eyes have gone silver. Along with the complex silver aura, two energy loops surround his body, closely resembling the electron shells of an atom.
'Amazing. He transformed.' Palutena said, astonished just like the other gods watching.
"This is the power of light. I'm liking this. I've never felt power this pure. I feel like I can do anything." The newly-transformed Sonic grinned as he clenches his right fist.
Meanwhile, Grimadoom seems intrigued by Sonic's new power. "It's different from your usual transformations. What do you call this new power?" He asked.
"Heh. I'm feeling ultra. So how 'bout "Ultra Sonic"?" Ultra Sonic points at Grim.
'Laaame!' Viridi remarked on the name.
The ISO hedgehog laughs, excited to test his limits against Sonic's new power. "I'm curious to find out…how much stronger you've gotten." Without uttering a simple grunt, Grimadoom's dark blue aura burst out like wild flames out of control, causing the wind to scatter erratically and violently all throughout the world.
'That power! I can feel it from here!' Viridi exclaimed as she, and the other gods can feel Grimadoom's tremendous power from their homes.
'Is this really the energy from just one mortal?!' Palutena asked, stunned, and moreso when the gods notice Grimadoom has also undergo a slight transformation, gaining pure blue eyes and his quills glowing menacingly, surrounded by his cosmic aura.
"Your Binary form. *" Sonic recognized the power he inherited from Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel. (Grimadoom's Binary form debuted in *D-Avengers: Spider-Island DX Issue 12*)
"Don't think this will go like last time. My evolved power has eclipsed any previous weakness I had prior." Binary Grimadoom proclaimed.
"Would be really boring if it didn't." Sonic grinned.
Grim sinisterly chuckles as he takes a fighting position against his rival, "Now then: Are you ready to die?"
"I'll tell you after I whooped you!" Sonic quipped as he gets ready for an incredible fight that'll soon amaze the gods watching from their homes.
BGM End
BGM-Mega Man ZX Advent OST-Trap Phantasm (Tunes Ver.)
Both powered-up hedgehogs immediately go into a spin dash formation, revving up to its highest degree, and when they collide, colorful explosions fill the entirely of spacefield. They take their clash through multiple islands and battleships, decimating everything during their epic battle.
'This is quite entertaining.' Hades commented on the fight so far.
'They're fighting on a whole another world than we can comprehend! Incredible!' Viridi exclaimed in surprise.
'I'm worried they might destroy the world if they kick things up a notch!' Palutena remarked.
Loki stays silent, focusing on the battle between hedgehog as it enters its next phase. While fighting at light speed, Ultra Sonic tries to land a swing punch on Grimadoom, but the hybrid hedgehog slightly swerve from the attack, kneeing Sonic hard in the chest before unleashing a swift three-kick combo that blows him away. After regaining his balance, Sonic manipulates matter of an Aurum battleship into a cluster of flaming meteors and rains them down on Grimadoom. The binary fighter zips from each meteor and blitz the ultra hero, crashing him through dozens of battleships before blasting him to the deck of a ship.
Sonic immediately gets on his feet when he spots Grimadoom blitzing towards him for another beating. As he gets closer, Sonic creates a cage made of vibranium to trap Grimadoom, but it was instantly blown into dust when he powered up, teleporting close to a surprised Sonic to punch him through space until he curled up to quickly stop his uncontrollable flight. The silvery aura hedgehog decided another approach and teleported up close to combo Grimadoom with light-speed punches and kicks, firing a beam of pure light that knocks him upwards for a chance for Sonic to charge up his light energy to create trails of light that entangle the villain, giving the blur hero to roll along those rails and blitz the trapped Grimadoom from all directions as pure light, leaving behind tiny trails of starts as he moves.
When he had enough of the punishment, Grimadoom's eyes flare up, breaking the light rails, leaving Sonic to stumble for a fierce kick that plants him to the moon's surface. He grunts in pain as he shakes his head, then looks in shock when Grimadoom charges up a large beam that cuts through the moon, slicing it into two while Sonic flown away before the attack hit him.
"Whoa." Sonic muttered in amazement.
'HE SPLIT THE MOON!' Viridi exclaimed.
"It's not a big deal." Sonic casually replied.
'He "SPLIT" THE MOON!' Viridi shouted.
"I'll fix it later! Huh?" Sonic looks in surprise when a chuckling Grimadoom telekinetically lifts multiple large battleships and islands and proceeds to throw them at the ultra hedgehog. With his speed, Sonic runs along the thrown ships, bounces off multiple islands as he closes in on Grimadoom, who recreates that energy monster avatar from before to swipe at Sonic. The hedgehog flipped over its large arm and runs down then pierces into the core of the monster.
"What?!" Grimadoom exclaimed before Sonic kicked him out of his own beast. He unleashes a loud scream as he charges his light to extinguish the dark beast, then immediately charges a powerful beam at the binary hybrid, getting off considerable amount of damage as he flies over to see he's still alive.
"You're as strong as ever, Grim. No, you're even stronger than before." Sonic grinned.
"I told you, didn't I? I grow stronger from every fight. My power is absolute! Not even the gods can stop me." Grimadoom confidently proclaimed. "You should just give up and accept the inevitable."
"Hah! In your dreams, Grimadoom." Sonic smirkingly retorted. "I'll surpass the gods in order to beat you and save this world! So prepare yourself, 'cause you're about to suffer a beating like you've never had before!" Ultra Sonic proclaimed as he charges up his immense exo energy.
Grimadoom laughed, finding his proclamation of him beating him amusing "As you wish…brother!" He starts charging up his terrifying cosmic energy for round two of their epic showdown.
BGM End
Meanwhile with the rest of the D-Avengers, Pit, Phosphora, and Pyrrhon…
"We're heading in!" Pit said as the united heroes follow Pyrrhon into an opening of the Death Egg.
"This path will take us directly to the Aurum Brain. Come on, heroes! It's time for us to take this space junk to the space dump!" Pyrrhon said as they fly through various spots of the Death Egg as they make their way to the core.
"You think that blue hedgehog will be alright?" Phosphora wondered.
"He's beaten Grimadoom before, he can do it again." Weiss confidently replied. "'Sides, what we're doing is more important."
"We're closing in." Spidey informed his teammates as they fly into the room containing the azure Aurum Brain, corrupted by the C.S.P.
"So this is the Aurum Brain…" Lucina remarked.
"Do your thing, guys. You know, your…shooting thing." Pyrrhon instructed the heroes.
"Not yet. I need to reverse the polarity of the beam robotizing the planet." Spidey said as he flies close to the Aurum Brain.
"If that's the case…" Pyrrhon muttered. Just as Spidey's about to place his gauntlet on Brain to infect it with his virus to reverse the robotization, he was blinded-sighted away by a stream of fire, which surprisingly belonged to Pyrrhon, "It's brain-frying time!" He said as he flies into the center of the Aurum Brain.
"What are you doing?!" Spidey shouted but it was too late as Pyrrhon has already overheated the Brain to immeasurable levels, causing the whole chamber to start exploding.
'Everyone, get out of there! Pit, I'm getting you out!' Palutena exclaimed as she controls a screaming Pit to fly away at top speed while everyone else follows him. 'Just a little farther!' She said as everyone successfully escaped the fortress before they got caught in the explosion.
Ultra Sonic and Binary Grimadoom pause their fight for a moment, wondering what just happened. "Huh? What happened? Guys, did you do it?" Sonic asked his friends if they succeeded in their mission.
"No! We suffered a few hiccups." Spidey quipped, but a bit irritated by Pyrrhon blasting him.
"We don't know what even happened in there! Did Pyrrhon make it out?" Pit asked.
'Ha ha ha ha ha!'
Spidey grunts in worry when he notices the Death Egg's energy readings suddenly spiking, "Energy readings are spiking up."
HA HA HA HA HA HA!'
'Oh no." Lucina said as everyone slowly sees a large projection of Pyrrhon appearing in front of the Death Egg.
BGM-Transformers Devastation OST-Menasor Theme
"NICELY DONE!"Pyrrhon said.
"Pyrrhon?! Pit said in confusion.
"THANKS TO YOU, PYRRHON HAS LEVELED UP! I AM NOW A LEVEL INFINITY EPIC SUPER GOD…PLUS! ULTIMATE POWER IS NOW PYRRHON'S!"
"THIS ISN'T WHAT WE NEEDED RIGHT NOW!" Weiss shouted.
"Pyrrhon, what are you talking about?!" Spidey shouted at the traitor.
"THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" Pyrrhon said as his projection disappears, commanding several Aurum troops to attack the heroes, but suddenly, they went from green to fiery red."
"Is changing their color supposed to scare us?" Phosphora asked, but all she did make the sun god laugh even harder.
'I'm pulling the Aurum strings now! Not even the combined power of the gods can stop me!' Pyrrhon proclaimed.
'Oh, snap! Poor Pitty and Avengies got duped!' Hades said.
"Shut UP, Hades!" Weiss shouted as they dodge Pyrrhon's Aurum forces.
'This might not be the best time to rub salt in the wound.' Viridi said.
"WHAT KIND OF RAT TRICKS AND ANGEL AND SOME HUMANS, PYRRHON?!" Pit yelled.
'WHAT?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER ALL THIS AWESOME!' Pyrrhon loudly replied as he turns his attention to Grimadoom. 'Hey, Grimadoom,' He shouted, getting his attention. 'You don't mind if I pilot your world-ending toy for a little while?'
"Whatever." Grimadoom simply replied, shocking everyone, including Pyrrhon himself, that he would let him use the Death Egg.
'Wait! You're serious?'
"Just don't let all that power get to your head." Grimadoom smirked.
'Hah! You saying I ain't stronger than you? Think again!' Pyrrhon fires a gigantic beam of fire from the Death Egg that Grimadoom, easily, effortlessly deflected to another part of the galaxy. 'H-How?!' He responded, astonished that somehow Grimadoom is still miles stronger than him after fusing with the Aurum Brain.
"You'll live to regret the choice you so foolishly made. I assure you." Grimadoom ominously warned the upgraded sun god.
"You're still plotting something, aren't you?" Ultra Sonic asked his clone.
"I'm just going through the motions." Grimadoom replied, not clearly answering Sonic's question. He lifts his hand to the sky to form the largest energy blade anyone has ever seen and slams it down at Sonic, who narrowly dodged the attack and proceeds to counterattack.
Meanwhile, the rest of the united heroes are having trouble dealing with all of Pyrrhon's Aurum troopers. "Yow! This is intense!" Pit exclaimed after narrowly avoiding death for the fifth time in a row.
"Pyrrhon, stop this! You don't know what you're doing! The Aurum are too complicated for you to control, and who knows what else the Masters of Evil did to them! Break free NOW while you still have a free will!" Spidey shouted, demanding Pyrrhon to cease control of the Aurum.
'You're just jealous of my Aurum swagger! Admit it! I'll continue using the Aurum to transform the whole universe into my image, starting with this robotized Earth!' Pyrrhon replied, not giving a damn what Peter just told him.
"You're impossible!" Spidey replied.
'So, anyone have any bright ideas on how to take him out?' Hades asked.
'I suppose we have no choice. This is it, my single remaining jewel.' Viridi said, just as Spidey's spider-sense triggers to a large, bright object descending from the sky, towards the Death Egg.
"Wait a second…Is that a RESET BOMB?!" Pit exclaimed in shock.
'Time to let nature takes it course!'
"No, Viridi!" Spidey shouted, telling her to stop but it was too late as the Reset Bomb crashes into the fortress and expands into a Reset Bomb Forest.
"This is getting out of control!" Lucina said.
Viridi laughed, thinking she won, 'Who's awesome now, Pyrrhon?!' She asked so proudly.
'HAHAHAHA!' Pyrrhon laughed as if nothing happened. 'Is that really all you've got?' He taunted as the nature forest on the fortress bursts into flames.
'How could this happen?!' Viridi asked, shocked.
"I was trying to tell you! What made you think nature works against fire?!" Spidey asked.
'I was in the heat of the moment!'
"Please tell me that was unintentional?!" Weiss remarked to the fire pun Viridi made.
'It was! Shut up!'
'I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the power of flight is running out.' Palutena said.
"So now what?" Pit asked.
'I'm sorry, Pit. I have to get you of there. Leave the rest to the Avengers.' Palutena shines her light down over Pit to whisk him away, but surprisingly, nothing happens and he remains in his spot. 'Oh no!'
'What's wrong?' Viridi asked.
'I can't extract him. I don't understand why.'
'Someone's interfering with your powers! Pyrrhon, what have you done?!' Ero demanded an answer from the flame god.
'I recently graduated with an associate's degree in telepathic interference!' Pyrrhon joked.
'You're blocking me?' Palutena asked.
'Afraid so. His powers have increased dramatically thanks to fusing with the Aurum Brain.' Ero replied as Pit starts to notice his wings are catching fire.
"My wings are getting hot!" Pit scarily noticed.
BGM End
'I'm sorry! I can't you any farther! I have to cut off the power of flight!' Palutena reluctantly stopped granting Pit the power of flight, causing him to immediately falling toward the surface like a screaming meteor. 'Pit! PIT!' She shouted.
"PIT!" The D-Avengers shouted.
Spidey grunted and wasted no time flying at top speed, completely demolishing the sound barrier downward to save Pit. "SPIDEEEEY!" Pit shouted as he reaches out for his savior.
"I'M COMING! I'M COMING! HOLD ON!" Spidey shouted, but as he gets closer, he's warned then blasted across the sky by Grimadoom, who has no intention of Pit being rescued.
'Grimadoom!' Palutena shouted.
Grimadoom smirks then starts to notice Sonic moving at light speed to save Pit, so he quickly moved faster than him and kicked him away before he could reach the angel. "Not even the light speed will be enough to save him. And YOU are supposed to be the "fastest thing alive"?" He taunted Sonic, making him angry enough to fight him again while Pit's still falling from orbit, with no one else fast enough to save him.
"Mayday! Mayday! This looks like the end! I never learned how to reeeeead!" Pit cried.
'Ugh, pull yourself together! I've got you covered!'
"Viridi!" Pit recognized the goddess of nature.
'All you have to do is line yourself up with the platform below.' Viridi instructed, with Pit doing just that and lands his feet on the platform Viridi sent in, almost breaking his legs in the process.
"Ouch…" Pit whined.
BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Aurum Brain's Fortress (First Half)
"Pit!" The rest of the heroes, except for Sonic, flies up to greet Pit, relieved to see he's okay. "Thank the gods you're okay." Lucina said, smiling.
"Yeah, literally." Weiss joked.
'We're glad you're all right.' Palutena smiled as well.
"Seriously. If anything happened to you, I wouldn't forgive myself." Spidey said as he would've felt responsible if Pit actually died.
"Thanks, guys. Especially you, Viridi. But why did you save me? I don't get it." Pit asked.
'There's nothing to get. Just shut your yapper and get ready to fight!' Viridi said.
'By invading our land, the Aurum have declared war on all of us. And with Pyrrhon on their side, they've become even more powerful! If we don't defeat them today, we may not have a tomorrow.' Palutena said as the heroes resume fighting more Aurum troops.
'Ugh, do you ever get tired of being such a nerd? All you need are twenty-sided dice and some thick glasses.' Viridi replied.
'My X-ray specs allow me to see your ignorance.' Palutena said while actually wearing X-Ray glasses.
'Leave the lame comedy routine to the Webhead. It's time for us to strike!' Viridi commanded.
"I need to get to the Aurum Brain. Drive Pyrrhon out of it. We don't have much time left." Spidey says as he sees the Earth is almost fully mechanized.
'We know that. Shut your trap! The only way we'll win this if we work together.' Viridi said.
"This isn't much space to fight on." Pit said as he's having trouble dodging enemy projectiles while his flying friends have no trouble at all.
'Picky picky! Maybe this will suit His Majesty a little better.' Viridi commands her Forces of Nature troops to fly in with another, much larger platform for Pit to fight on.
"Thanks! This is MUCH better!" Pit said.
'It looks like Viridi has also donated some of her forces to carry the platform. But this platform is bigger, so there's more room for enemies. Stay on your guard!' Palutena said as they approach under a flying Aurum Aircraft Carrier. 'That Aurum ship flying overhead is the size of a continent!'
'If it were me, I wouldn't sweat it.' Hades said.
'Enemies incoming, Avengers!'
"Get your own platform, jerks!" Pit said as he works together with the Avengers and Phosphora to destroy as many as they can when the Aurum ship starts to approach him.
'That Aurum ship is going to engulf your entire platform!' Viridi said as it lowered itself over Pit, placing him inside the ship.
"He's trapped!" Weiss noticed.
'Aurum vermin!' Viridi cursed.
'They're well-coordinated, I'll give them that.' Loki remarked.
It's a very good thing Ultra Sonic takes his battle against Grimadoom straight through that ship, causing it to immediately blow up, taking Pit and the others with it. "Damn it, Sonic!" Spidey said as he flies to the back of Pit's platform, powering up his jet boosters to maximum to push Pit out of the exploding ship in time.
"YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!" Pit shouted at Sonic.
"Sorry!" Sonic retorted as he kicks Grimadoom to the air. "Let me give you a new one!" He materialized a second Aurum aircraft and dropped it down on stunned Grimadoom, then gives chase while a Kolma lands on Pit's platform.
"Ugh!" Pit grunted.
"Looks like you've got company." Phosphora said.
'That Kolma is trying to scam a free ride! What a deadbeat!' Viridi said.
'Attention, passengers! Those who fail to pay their fare must exit the vehicle.' Hades joked as Pit and Lucina destroy the Kolma. Just seconds after that, an Aurum Destroyer crashes into the platform.
"Whoaa!" Pit exclaimed.
'You've got a battleship on your tail!' Viridi said as another Destroyer crashes into the platform's opposite side.
"Hoo boy!" Pit exclaimed again.
'And one on your front!' Palutena said.
'You're being sandwiched!' Viridi said.
"Ah, yes, the old sandwich tactic. It always makes me hungry when I get caught in one." Spidey joked.
"SHUT UP, SPIDER-MAN!" Viridi, Weiss, and Palutena yelled.
Viridi growled. 'Forces of Nature! Push that platform up and out of there!' With Spider-Man's incredible strength, the Forces of Nature rose the platform up, freeing Pit from the Destroyers. 'Good! You broke free!'
'HAHAHAHA! I SEE YOU'RE HARD AT WORK!' Pyrrhon laughed.
"Pyrrhon!" Pit exclaimed.
BGM End
'Pyrrhon Creed Number 427: Hard work should always be rewarded! Which is why I got a present. For me. To destroy you. It's Pyroblaster time!' He charges up the Death Egg for another powerful attack.
"Uh-oh!" Spidey said as his spider-sense goes haywire for Pit's safety.
'Hold on!' Viridi commands her troops to shield Pit with the platform as a large, fiery beam suddenly shoots out from the Death Egg.
"Augh!"
'Come on, Pit! No wimping out!' Viridi told him as the beam dissipates, leaving Pit safe but not her troops. 'See? You're fine. Though I can't say the same for my troops that we're carrying your platform.'
"Mistress Viridi. We're sorry." Lucina apologized, feeling bad.
"I feel terrible about this." Pit said.
'Our Forces of Nature allies made the ultimate sacrifice. But there's no point dwelling. I called for backup.' Palutena said as the platform falls beneath Pit, sending him falling to another one, this time being carried by Centurion Strongarms.
BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Aurum Brain's Fortress (Second Half)
"The Centurions?!" Weiss said, surprised.
"Glad to see you're safe, Captain!" One spoke up to Pit.
"The centurions are in way over their heads!" Pit said.
'They mean well. They're just not very effective.' Palutena said.
'Pretty harsh words for your own troops.' Viridi said.
"Pull them out! I don't want them to get hurt!" Pit argued.
'Then how do you plan to make it to Pyrrhon?' Palutena asked.
"I-I'll think of something! Maybe Spidey can carry me." Pit said.
"It'll be a bit awkward to fight though." Spidey replied.
"We live to serve, Captain!" Another Centurion spoke up. "Your mission is to defeat Pyrrhon and eliminate the Aurum forces! We dedicate our energy and resources to helping you and the Avengers reach that goal!"
"They bring up a good point." Weiss said.
"In war, if one has the courage to fight, it's recommended to take them. I know from experience." Lucina said.
Pit sighed, having no other choice. "…OK, OK. Then charge, soldiers!" Pit commanded as they fly to the first path they took to the Aurum Brain, which has now been caught on fire.
'It seems as if our previous path into the Aurum Brain is, well, aflame.' Palutena said.
'You can thank Pyrrhon for that.' Loki remarked.
'You'll have to go around.' Palutena said.
"Follow me. I might've found another path." Spidey said as everyone follows him into an opening.
"Going in!" A Centurion said.
'You've got Aurum enemies on your tail!' Palutena informed, prompting the heroes to destroy all enemies in their sight.
"There's an obstacle ahead!" Another Centurion said as they approach the closing walls.
"Keep moving forward! We'll take care of it!" Pit ordered as the heroes destroy the walls.
"Just watch out for the lasers!" Weiss said as she and Lucina swerves away from the lasers.
'They're coming from the battleship outside.' Viridi said.
'Ahh, alien ingenuity at its best.' Hades said.
'We're closing in on Pyrrhon!'
'I hope he's decent.'
'Get it together, guys! My poor centurions are struggling. Destroy those enemies NOW!' Palutena said as a swarm of techno enemies surround the heroes.
"We're trying out best!" Spidey retorted as he shoots as many enemies as he could.
'Some goddess needs to go to leadership training…' Viridi joked after the heroes destroyed the last line of defense to the Aurum Brain Chamber.
'Pyrrhon is up ahead.' Ero informed.
'Halt. Halt. Stay. Away.' Pyrrhon said in a monotone voice.
"Does something seem a little off about Pyrrhon?" Pit asked.
"Was the whole monotone voice didn't give you a clue?" Spidey quipped as they fly faster.
BGM End
Aurum Brain Chamber
The united, marvelous heroes enter the Aurum Brain room where they encounter Pyrrhon, who has somehow fused into the surface of the Aurum Brain and twitching massively, "01101011011010010110110001101100..."
"I knew this would happen." Spidey said, figuring out something like this would occur when Pyrrhon fused with the Aurum Brain.
"Pyrrhon! What are you doing?!" Pit asked.
"Following our orders." A cold, metallic voice says, revealing to be chuckling Neo Metal Sonic descending down next to Pyrrhon with Neo Mecha Spider-Man.
"It's Metal and Mecha!" Weiss spotted.
"Pyrrhon's now under our control. He fell right into our trap." Metal Sonic said.
"The trap was originally meant for Spider-Man when he was going to connect with the Aurum Brain to reverse our work, but the foolish sun god got too greedy for his own good." Mecha Spidey explained.
"I guess I should thank him?" Spidey remarked.
"Organic creatures are too easy to manipulate, whether man or god. Isn't that right, Pyrrhon?" Metal asked their new slave.
"I…I…I will not be controlled…" Pyrrhon said, surprisingly having some sense of free will left.
"That's right, Pyrrhon! You can break free! Don't let them control you!" Spidey shouted to help him resist.
"I…I…WE WILL NOT BE CONTROLLED!" Pyrrhon has completely been succumbed by the Aurum, and by extension, the Masters of Evil.
"NO!" Pit exclaimed.
"We told you. No one can escape our power! With Pyrrhon's added abilities, we will conquer EVERY dimension, collect all the Exo Stones, and achieve multiversal domination! All will submit to the Masters of Evil's will!" Metal Sonic laughed maniacally.
"Not if I pull the plug!" Spidey proclaimed as he races towards the Aurum-controlled Pyrrhon to shut down the Brain and reverse the robotization on the planet. Mecha Spidey quickly uses his C.S.P. reactor to transform into his super state and quickly backhands Spidey away from the Brain, leaving Metal to transform into his Turbo form to destroy Pit's rocky platform, causing him to fall screaming again.
"Not now!" Spidey releases a large web net to catch Pit in time, but it was immediately burned by Pyrrhon, causing him to fall one more time until Weiss caught him with a sturdy glyph platform.
"Thanks." Pit told her.
"You're welcome." Weiss replied.
In the air, Spidey and Phosphora managed to stun Super Mecha long enough to take down the barrier protecting Aurum Pyrrhon so Spidey can close in to the Brain. "Only got one shot." He muttered as he presses his hand directly on the Aurum Brain, transmitting his virus to it. As he does, he slowly gets swallowed up by the Brain and struggles to break free. "Just a little more…" He mumbled as he slowly gets swallowed up whole by the flame brain.
'Spider-Man!' Palutena exclaimed as she saw him get completely absorbed by the Aurum Brain.
Metal Sonic laughed again, now knowing his victory is almost assured. "It's useless! We have won! There's nothing you can do now, but watch as your world falls under our rule." He summons a large holographic screen of Pit's world seconds away from being completely turned into metal. There was nothing no one could do but watch in horror as the Death Egg fires one more blast to seal the deal. But then, when all hope seems lost, a miraculous miracle happens. Instead of the beam finishing off the robotization project, it starts to reverse it entirely, quickly spreading throughout the planet. "What?! What happened?!" Metal exclaimed as the planet is starting to free itself from its mechanized form and return back to its beautiful blue marble world.
'The whole world is turning back to normal!' Viridi exclaimed in happiness.
'Spider-Man's virus! It's working!' Palutena said.
"Impossible! The Aurum Brain should've consumed him!" Metal said.
"ALERT! ALERT!" Aurum Pyrrhon starts twitching intensely as the whole station rumbles. "UNCALUABLE LEVELS OF ISO-8 ENERGY RISING! CAN'T PROCESS!"
"ISO-8?! I've never encountered readings like this before! *" Metal said as he scans the Aurum Brain, noticing the spark of a twilighted color ISO-8 gem appearing within the Brain, slowly forming a large spider symbol along with a loud monstrous roar shaking the whole station from the voice alone. (The Peerless Twilight ISO-8 Emblem, the symbol of Perfect Synchro that Spider-Man achieved in *Spider-Man and Cinder-Flaming Web of Light and Shadow Issue 19*)
Outside…
During the amidst of their fight, Sonic and Grimadoom stop for a moment when they heard the loud beasty roar coming from the Death Egg, immediately knowing who it belonged to. "Perfect. Grimadoom said sarcastically, annoyed by this development.
"Alright! Time to show everyone your fused power!" Sonic grinned as if he's talking to Spidey.
Back inside…
Aurum Pyrrhon continues to shake violently as he can't contain whatever's going on inside the Aurum Brain. "Put all power to the Aurum Brain! DO NOT LET HIM ESCAPE!" Metal Sonic loudly ordered.
"INTRUDER…CAN'T…PURGE…TOO MUCH…TOO MUCH…INTITATE…PERFECT…FINALIZATION…" Aurum Pyrrhon spoke non-sense as the Brain starts to crack.
"NOOO!"
"What's going on?!" Pit asked, as he wonders why Weiss and Lucina seem relatively calm about all the shaking and weird roars.
"You'll see." Weiss smiled at him.
From a top of the Aurum Brain, a bright beam of light explodes out of it with a familiar wall-crawler hidden as a dark silhouette. His whole armor begins to change, looking more beast-like. His hands form sharp claws, his feet as well. Two white bones sprout from his shoulder pads. Disc-like extensions placed along the joints and shoulders. Multiple small gems located on some parts of his body, with a spider-shaped blue gem located on his forehead. His eyes multiple, from the usual two to small eight, four stern, defined eyes placed vertically, parallel on each side of the face. Large techno-wings protruding from the back, leaking pinkish-red energy. And last but not least, a stylized, purple-colored spider symbol materializing on his chest.
BGM-Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit OST-Final Decisive Battle
Everyone from the D-Avengers to the gods of this realm are absolutely awestruck at whatever this new entity that resembles Spider-Man is. "Who…is that…?" Phosphora said, almost speechless as the mysterious figure slowly opens its multiple pure blue eyes, floating motionless in mid-air while his slick black armor is constantly surrounded by a complex blue/purple aura.
"It's Black Ace!" Weiss exclaimed in joy.
"B-Black Ace…?" Pit questioned if that's the finalized form they've been talking about.
"One of the two forms Spider-Man and The Other fuse into." Lucina explained.
"Huh?"
Metal Sonic grunted, not too excited the two finalized together. "Fire all weapons!" He commanded the whole interior of the AB chamber to prepare all its laser beams among other weapons to attack Spider-Man. The silent fused totem unsheathes a large stinger from his right forearm, and with a single slash, slices all the weapons with a wide energy wave that cuts a part of the Death Egg itself, as seen from outside the fortress's exterior.
"Amazing…" Pit said.
Super Mecha growled. "You will not stop us!" He and Turbo Metal dashes with a powerful right punch, but through instinct, Spidey crosses his arms to easily catch both punches then throw them to a wall.
"UNKNOWN ENTITY: MUST BE PURGED! CONSUME! CONSUME!" Aurum Pyrrhon fires a massive stream of fire that Spidey blocks with an invisible energy shield that absorbs the energy that he redirects and heavily damage the controlled sun god.
'He didn't even move. How's he doing that?' Viridi asked, stunned like the other gods watching.
'I can't get a fix on his power. It continues to increase. And his energy is so frightening calm. Who…Who is he?' Even Palutena is stumped and lost, wondering if this really is Spider-Man and/or Ero.
'The Legendary Totem Berserker.' Loki answered.
'Legendary…Totem Berserker?' Viridi repeated
'That's the nickname I give it. He's neither mortal nor god, but a totem with devastating power that could destroy the world.' Loki said.
'That's what I call a monster.' Hades joked.
Palutena is instantly reminded of what Ero told her when they raided the Aurum Hive, 'When the situation becomes dire will the legendary power be reborn…'
'Is this what he meant? The power between mortal and god? In-Incredible…' Palutena thought to herself.
"Pit!" Shin Black Ace Spidey spoke to Pit in a multi-layered voice containing Peter's and Ero's. Pit stares at him, and before he knows it, he reconstructed the rocky platform Metal destroyed earlier with his webbing for the Centurions to carry their captain on. "I leave everything here to you." He said in a calm, refined voice, implicitly telling Pit's team to handle Pyrrhon while he deals with Turbo Metal Sonic and Super Mecha Spider-Man.
Pit is left awestruck for a few more seconds until shaking his head, then nodding to Peter's request. "You got it!"
BGM End
It was at that moment, Metal and Mecha resurfaced into the battle, angrier than ever at the fused spider. "I am neither one nor the other. I am ultimate warrior reborn.' He calmly told his enemies and friends, as he's not Spider-Man or Ero, but a completely new Spider-Totem.
BGM-Pokemon XYZ OST-Ash Greninja Theme
The Neo robots spring into action to attack the spider once more as he prepares a simple glare that blows them straight through various parts of the space station, simultaneously causing damage to the fortress as a whole. Shin Black Ace Spider-Man surges forward faster than the blink of an eye, quickly finding the robot clones to blitz relentlessly.
'Amazing! Is this the true form of Perfect Synchro?!' Viridi believed as the explosions caused by Spider-Man's power knocks the robots into the air.
"You're ruining our plans! ALL OF YOU! You're all going to die!" Turbo Metal Sonic declared in a roar of fury, bursting in power as he and Super Mecha charges in on the silent spider.
With Pit's Squad…
With Pyrrhon weakened by Spider-Man's earlier attack, Pit's team goes all-out to stop him. "This is it! Keep pouring it on!" Pit shouted as they continue to blast him with everything they've got. The Aurum-controlled god shoots multiple orbs of fire at the heroes, but Weiss flings them away with her glyphs while Phosphora shoots a powerful electric beam at Pyrrhon. The restricted sun god then fires a large ball of fire that forces Lucina to jump into the air to slice open while Pit unleashes a large charged shot that critically wounds Pyrrhon.
"We almost got him!" Lucina said.
"Yeah-haha!" Pit said as they continue attacking him.
With Sonic…
During the explosive brawl in space, Sonic uppercuts Grimadoom from the jaw then immediately releases a head-crushing axe kick that knocks him downward. "You're getting sloppy!" Sonic taunted his clone, angering him to teleport up close for some lightning-fast combo action, kicking him for a hefty assault of spin attacks that ends with a beam attack.
"Your dead meat!" Grimadoom shouted, summoning multiple energy tendrils to launch at Sonic. The ultra hero quickly bounces off each tendril before he was succumbed by them all for a short moment until he burst out with a loud shout then spin attacks Grimadoom in the gut, causing him to crash through multiple of his fleet.
With Spider-Man…
Both Neo bots try to assault Black Ace Spidey with a combined barrage of speedy punches and kicks. With his absolute spider-sense and natural instincts enhanced to an unknown degree, Spidey embarrassed them by effortlessly dodging all of their attacks by barely moving. He quickly retracts his wings to summon his spider-legs, spinning in place to fling them both out of his sight.
Mecha Spider-Man quickly recovers and attacks his double with a barrage of energy blasts, which amount to nothing as Spidey morphed into his other finalized form: The dinosaur-themed, Shin Red Joker, deflecting all of his attacks without moving an inch. "What?!" Mecha is stumped, giving Spidey enough time to actually open his mouth like he's some beast and shoots a stream of energy so strong, it knocks Mecha out of the Death Egg, throwing Metal Sonic for the ride.
As the robots shake their heads, they are horrifyingly greeted by Spider-Man, who has appeared before them as Black Ace once more, giving them a stern, cold stare. They watch in terror as he creates a humongous Webshuriken surrounding a black hole sphere.
'A black hole?!' Palutena remarked as Spidey throws the projectile at the robot villains, but they dodged it and manages to punch Spidey in the face, but it did not faze him at all, much to their shock. Meanwhile, the Black Hole Webshuriken hits the Aurum fleet in space and explodes into a gigantic black hole that sucks up most of the fleet into it, transforming it into a massive black hurricane that eventually sucks up Metal Sonic and Mecha Spider-Man. The Black Ace Spider turns both his arms into red blades and thrust himself right next to the hurricane for his final attack. "Shadow…Destroyer…"He began while performing multiple sword slashes onto the hurricane before cutting through it with a simple, clean slice, "Galaxy!" He stands behind the exploding black hole, looking like a total badass as the Aurum Fleet is completely destroyed, presumably with Metal Sonic and Mecha Spider-Man with it.
BGM End
'He cut through a black hole…' Viridi is now totally amazed, and probably terrified of the sheer power the Legendary Totem Berserker possess.
"Are you impressed?" Spidey asked her.
'N-No I'm not! Get real!' Viridi denied.
"You don't have to deny your feelings."
Viridi growled, 'And here I was almost happy NOT to hear you joke.' She said, causing Spidey to lightly chuckle.
With Pit's team…
They have just managed to land the final blow against Aurum Pyrrhon, defeating him for good. "Go back to space!" Pit shouted as Pyrrhon roars, causing the whole area to explode, forcing Palutena to get everyone out of there.
'I need to extract you!' Palutena said.
"This seems familiar." Pit replied.
'We've been doing this a lot.'
With Sonic…
The hedgehog has kicked Grimadoom in the chest, just as he notices the explosion coming from the Death Egg. "It's over, Grimadoom. You've lost!" Sonic told his rival.
Grimadoom pants heavily as he holds onto his chest, growling in frustration that he has lost. "No…This battle isn't over…You're done…finished…How dare you?... HOW DARE YOOOOU?!" He flies up above Sonic and lifts his hand up high, creating an enormous ball of dark energy. He chuckles, "Let's see how you and this planet will survive THIS!"
"He's gonna WHAT?!" Sonic shouted, just as surprised as everyone else that heard him.
'He's gonna destroy the whole planet! Sonic, do something!' Palutena urged him.
Sonic does what he's instructed and hurriedly charges up to full power, putting all his energy into his palms. With no time to waste, Sonic let's out an enormous roar and fires a large silver beam at the dark energy sphere Grimadoom hurls at him, with the fate of Pit's world resting in his shoulders. Both powerful attacks collide, shaking the whole world from their collision alone. Sonic slowly loses the beam struggle but doesn't give up, putting in more energy to give him a slight edge. Grimadoom grunts as he simply flicks his fingers to give more energy to his attack which continues to pressure Sonic.
"C'MON!" Sonic shouted as he starts to lose this struggle, effectively hitting his limit as he can't put in any more energy into his attack, "I WON'T LET YOU!"
"It's over, hedgehog. You've reached your limit. There's nothing else you can do." Grimadoom told him.
'He…He's right! There's too much energy! You can't do anything anymore! You're at your limit-!' Viridi exclaimed.
"SHUT UP!" Sonic shouted, cutting her off as the energy sphere starts to overwhelm him. "SHUT UP!" He yelled again. Through an amazing miracle that no one thought was possible, Sonic somehow regained his strength, and with a ferocious roar, unleashes an even bigger energy beam that overwhelms Grimadoom's and eventually himself.
"W-What?! No! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" Grimadoom yelled as he was completely enveloped by the energy beam as it explodes in space, with the planet spared from destruction.
BGM-Dragon Ball Super OST-Crushing Defeat
The gods, mostly Palutena and Viridi, are stunned that Sonic was able to break through the odds and defeat Grimadoom.
'He…He did it…' Viridi said as a drained Sonic floats aimlessly in space.
'Sonic! Are you alright?!' Palutena asked him.
With no strength left to move, Sonic lowly chuckles as he does nothing but lie there in space. "I did it…didn't I?" He asked the gods.
'You did. All of you. We can't thank you enough for all you have done.' Palutena replied.
'I guess we've underestimated you.' Viridi said.
"You guys may be gods…we get that…You're in a whole another position than us…" Sonic began, gathering enough strength to barely lift his head to talk with the gods. "But we don't care…none of you…can tell us what are limits are…" He chuckles, leaving the gods something to think about before he falls unconscious and then starts falling down to the earth like a meteor.
'Sonic! SONIC!' Palutena shouted as she tries to extract him to safety, but he's falling too fast for her to catch.
Thankfully, a speedy blue projectile quickly catches Sonic as he falls down to earth, revealing to be Black Ace Spider-Man who has caught him. "Think they got the message…?" Sonic weakly asked Spidey.
"Yeah." Spidey nodded.
The rest of the D-Avengers and Pit watch happy from above as they notice the Death Egg powering itself up, launching itself back into space. "How did…?" Lucina starts to wonder why the Death Egg is flying away.
'It's Pyrrhon. With any luck, he'll push the Aurum to the other end of the galaxy.' Palutena answered.
'He finally does something useful.' Viridi said.
'Now we can get back to eliminating the real enemy: The Underworld Army.'
"So long, space scum!" Pit cheered as everyone is teleported back to Skyworld for a good day's rest for saving the world.
BGM End
Not long after…
Within the wreckage of the Aurum Fleet, Grimadoom teleports in, looking pretty banged up after narrowly surviving the beam struggle against Sonic. "That could've gone better…" He muttered as he rubs his wounded left arm. He turns to see a badly damaged Neo Metal Sonic and Neo Mecha Spider-Man slowly hovering towards him. "You two have seen better days." He joked.
"We escaped the explosion seconds before the damage could prove critical." Metal Sonic told him.
"Our fleet is decimated. The C.S.P.s are destroyed. Our whole invasion stopped." Mecha Spider-Man said.
Using Wolverine's DNA, Grimadoom's body quickly starts to heal back to full form and full power. "It's no matter. We still have our more important backup plan, which we will unleash immediately." He sinisterly grinned.

Grimadoom: It is I, Grimadoom, here to give you an important announcement! I am alive, and I'll be spreading the news of my survival all across the ruins of Skyworld. I'm sure the Goddess of Light will be most happy to see me. If not, shame on her. How could you not be happy to see him? I am totally awesome. Loveable. And completely powerful. Go ahead, admire my power.

KFX Here: Just to inform everyone, Ultra Sonic (Sonic's new transformation using the Dream Stone) is NOT my original idea. The form and its powers originated from the old Archie Comics. If you want to check them out, go ahead. It's not inspired by "Ultra Instinct" from Dragon Ball, just the design, maybe. Next chapter will be an original, and hopefully short, chapter that'll bridge to the "Chaos Kin" Arc. Enjoy.
