Good evening fellow Sega lovers and fans! This is Big Red here speaking and I have a bit of sad news to say. In case several of you haven't heard, Satora Iwata had died on Saturday due to bile duct cancer and the new would be widespread on Sunday to every Nintendo fan on the Internet. So it's such a huge shame that the company lost a living legend and rewatching Nintendo Directs would be pretty painful for some. I would like to let you know that the first part of this chapter is not just for introducing a key character that would play a massive role near the story's final arcs, but it's done as a tribute to this man's legacy (along with a few other gaming icons that some might remember). So instead of doing a recap, I would like you to know about these news and what I did to honor this man's legacy. As a fair warning, most parts of this chapter is going to be extremely sad since it reflected by mood when writing this chapter. But without further adieu, let's take a ticket to the Feels Train with this chapter.

A dreary graveyard seen in the farthest part of the world stands above what appears to be an abandoned Sega headquarters. It was were the company was one a powerful force back in the day when they were heated rivals of Nintendo until the bitter end when the Sega Dreamcast flopped. The ruined concrete building below would reveal the many battered offices where one brilliant minds used to be sitting to discuss any means with the companies success. The graveyard above is dedicated to many famous individuals who played a role to the gaming industry as a whole during the wars with Sega or after they would become that struggling third party developer. Cockroaches and many other creepy crawlies came around every corner on the dirty decks and checked around for some morsel to feed on. One interesting that could be seen where a heap of old destroyed consoles of this once great HQ that included a variety of platforms from throughout the 80's and 90's.

The more common ones were at least the Dreamcast since it was one of Sega's poorest selling consoles with the least common being the famous Sega Genesis itself. Not a single person even though about doing anything to get rid of this building since they feel it was best to leave it alone for historical purposes. Since then, the graveyard would serve the purpose of being a burial for these powerful gaming minds and rarely anyone would show up unless they were hug fans of these console giants. In the distance, a strange jumping noise would be heard in the distance that can equate to something you could hear in an old NES game but of a higher quality. What could be heard was from no video game, but from a famous icon who had plenty to do with these games for many years. The man himself was no smaller than the average Mobian, but he's definitely smaller than the average sized human being on this planet. He wore a red shirt with blue overalls and a pair of fancy white gloves, but many would never forget about his famous red cap with the M embedded on the face of it.

Other characteristics of this bouncing man would be a pair of bright blue eyes and a sweet mustache that any other plumber would be jealous of. This man once used to be the happiest citizen of the Mushroom Kingdom and had that look of serious determination as he traverse the barren wasteland in search of his long lost nemesis. It was none other than Mr. Video Game himself, Mario of the Super Mario Brothers. This red wearing plumber, like Kirby, is another famous Nintendo character who lived around the 90's and conquered many sales charts with plenty of games thanks to Nintendo's cooperation. He had been traveling on Earth for plenty of days to track down any Legion of Subspace group with little luck of finding any of them before their evil deeds were already accomplished. Mario had his eyes on trying to stop their plans through his own hands once he heard about what would happen to Sonic from Ulala's past resort and hoped that he wouldn't be too late to meet him.

"Mama mia, this is just a one of those days where I would've wished that I would know where Bowser's exact a location was. Sonic is going to be a massive target of the Legion of a Subspace's plans and I have to find him before it's too late," the red hero said frantically.

He would eventually find his way towards the cemetery and started to slow down before he entered the battered gates of this funeral. Within Mario's last free fast, he dragged his brown boots against the ground to slow himself down as the clouds of dust emit from his feet. The plumber finally slowed down and stopped completely to straighten himself up as the ominous place of the dead stared him in the face. Mario had explored plenty of locations like these before and knew that there was little chance that he would see a Boo attacking him out of the graves. He looked inside of the cemetery to see if there was anything interesting other than the many grave stones that were in his field of vision.

"This place is really pretty normal for a funeral. So there's no chance of any a ghosts to chase me from behind or stuff me inside of a painting. I might have to take a look to see if I can find anything of my best interest before moving on," he said quietly.

The plumber then walked inside of the funeral with little fear just to show that he was miles brave in comparison to his more vulnerable twin brother Luigi and explores the dreary bed of the dead. Many of these graves were of famous big names that were huge during the gaming industry with a majority of them being prevalent in the 90's. The plumber walked pass a few of them whom might be interesting few dedicated gamers.

One gravestone in the right had what appeared to be a blue decorated Sega Dreamcast ahead of it and read "Here lies Isao Okawa, The Man Who Stayed with Sega Until Its Very End (1926 -2001)". This was literally disheartening since the man was the one who sold every left over Dreamcast when the company was at a lost and passed away before he was abel to see how the company who do as a third party developer these days. Another grave stone would have what could be a battered Gameboy advance near it and read "Here lies Gunpei Yokoi, The Father of the Game & Watch Series of Handhelds (1941 -1997). This would be one of Nintendo's earlier pioneers that helper stem make plenty of quality games and design their first few series of handhelds. But the next gravestone was even sadder since it was more about one legend who would go down in history as the richest shareholder that the Nintendo company ever had.

The gravestone had what appears to be an old deck of Hanafuda cards and a bouquet of red tulips akin to Fire Flowers that sat below it. It would be read as "Here lies Hiroshi Yamauchi, The Man Who Turned Nintendo Into What It Was Today (1927-2013)", making it as heartfelt as possible since he contributed to most of Nintendo's success in the past. The plumber kept walked amongst the gravestones and looked to see if there were anything of interest in this depressing place with a hero's intuition. It wasn't until he would see something that would make him drop his jaw in shock, feeling as though an arrow was shot through his chest. The plumber gasped at the alarming gravestone he saw to the southeast and ran towards once he saw something familiar. The thing that caught his eye would be what appears to be a Wii U, a console that would be fairly popular during the current console generation and he wondered what it would be doing out here.

"Now how would anyone leave a perfectly good gaming console out a here. That's just plain disrespectful to the many employees that worked hard for this thing to be sold in the world," he said while checking it out for any missing cords.

One interesting thing the plumber found would be a replica of Luigi's hat, but this one was more mass manufactured and only an important member of the Nintendo HQ would wear this. Mario lifts it with his right hand and looked around it to see anything interesting with his eyes of suspicion.

"This reminds me of my a brother Luigi's cap, but I can tell that it's much different that the real thing. Now if I can find something important like the manufacturing tag," he said.

Then he would find a pair of initials on the tag that he found, with the initials "S.I." written on them with black ink. Mario would then notice this with eyes of shock and remembered the time him and Luigi were featured in a Nintendo Direct with the man of these initials.

"S.I.? There's only one possible man I'd know when I take a look at these initials," the surprised plumber said.

It wasn't until his eyes had met the shocking truth that would be engraved before him on the gravestone ahead of him. This would be the moment where Mario dropped the Luigi hat and felt something painful in his heart. The text on the stone would be read as "Here Lies Satoru Iwata, The One Who Directed The New Generation to Nintendo (1959 -2015)" and the truth was before this plumber's eyes since the last time he had seen him. Mario felt the tears filling within his large blue eyes like an ocean filling the Mushroom Kingdom with his body feeling weak over time. He could no longer hold his hands properly since this would be too much for him to handle, another one of Nintendo's influential leaders had died without him being around to know about it.

"No, this can't a be. This is far too soon when things like this would be happening in the world. I was a far too late to even see this man smile while hanging around my lovely home. Iwata-san, please forgive this plumber for failing to know about this ahead of time," he said as the tears rolled down his face.

Now full of guilt and sorrow, Mario would knew down before the lone Wii U and cry his eyes out with regret over what happened with Mr. Iwata. This was truly a painful thing for him to witness since he cared for everyone that worked under Nintendo as much as his boss, Shigeru Miyamoto. The weight of his body now felt as if a Thwomp was crushing him on his back to keep him from movie. The plumber would feel powerless to his own emotions as his face would be warm from the fresh tears that poured from his face. These tears would then splat onto the console below him as it seems to become clean by them.

The scene at the grave would be somber due to the devastated plumber who would witness another sign of a great man falling, one that would actually be a high influence to Nintendo to this day. He held his body like a slumped rock during this moment to express this heavy feeling of sadness before Iwata's grave stone. In his mind, the red plumber thought of all the good memories he had with the man while watching news of Nintendo's success from the Mushroom Kingdom on his free time. This was a rough moment for Mario and all he could think of instead of chasing the Legion was Iwata's final moments with him. All would feel hopeless until a familiar phrase could be hear through his head to give him a wake up call.

Leave luck to Heaven, that's the meaning behind this company's name. Remember that and we will always be with you, even if there's one day that an important member of this company would fall.

The Nintendo mascot would finally stop moping and think about these voices in his head since this could tell him something important.

Leave luck to Heaven. This company could still be in good hands after the loss of our greatest members.

Mario quickly wiped his tears away with his sleeve and looked at the palms of his white gloved hands in a puzzled manner.

Mario, you could wind up as the biggest hero of this world and the company. And all you have to do is believe in yourself and always go on journey with your allies. That is something that my conscience would say whenever I'm alone or need more faith in myself.

Thinking about these woulds would remind Mario that there's more to be done in this world than to grieve for the lost of loved ones that could watch over the company forever.

"Going on a journey with a group of friends to be the biggest hero of this world. That's exactly what I have a to do while Bowser is still on the run. That's something that Iwata-san would want me to do instead of crying myself while the world is still in ruins," he said quietly.

These open hands would evenly turn into tightened fists of justice within seconds and the fire in this plumber's belly would burn harder with determination. Then Mario would slowly stand up with the same face that he would give any serious opponent and looked at Iwata's grave to show that he's ready to fulfill the rest of what he would want him to do. He would take off his signature cap and show it to the lonely gravestone as a form of gratitude for reminding him of what he need to be focused on.

"Thank you Iwata-san, now it's a time for me to a go now. I have a world to save and will promise to not fail you in any way. My blue spiky friend needs a my help and I will make sure that a Bower pays dearly for his massive terrorism. Like I would say back in my earlier days, Let's a gooooooo!" he announced proudly.

The last thing Mario would do before leaving is tossing a Fire Flower at the gravestone to pay his final respects like an honorable man would. Then he would start back leaping out of the graveyard with his massive jumps to continue his journey from hear on out. The graveyard was now empty with no signs of life, but the mood slightly gotten better thanks to the plumber's final contribution to Iwata. To be exact, it was a miracle that Mario managed to find a graveyard full of famous video game big names and payed a tribute for his other former Nintendo allies to "see" despite their death. This would be truly one legendary moment that many would not want to miss on since the face of Nintendo would make his mark in a forbidden place like that.

Meanwhile, the scene with Amy's group and their new allies were intense now that Ristar would be frozen at the hands of an enraged Ramirez. As for Ramirez himself, he would slowly rise out of the semi frozen crevasse with his trademark terrifying scowl and had his weapon in hand ready to dish the pain to his enemies. He was in no mood to play around anymore and could be ready to go far as killing if he really wanted to since the emerald had revealed itself. The star face hero would be forever frozen with his horrified expression with the cyan gem in his right hand for the villain next by to steal it from him. Alex Kidd could feel the fear in his heart since this would be a situation where they would watch their own ally die before their eyes or loss the Chaos Emerald for the second tike in history.

"You fools had messed with us for the last time and now I'm at the point where no lives would be spared. But it would be lucky that this star faced abomination didn't completely hit us unlike Greedy and we still have the energy left to face you all. So what I can do is either to snatch the emerald from this ice or shatter it to break this obstacle into many pieces. But a bit of the two would be enough for the Legion to handle," he said while intensely glaring at his enemies.

Amy and the others gasped soon as the man held his hand before Ristar's frozen body since that's a sign of terrible things to happen. Bayonetta and Joe were still unconscious from their earlier fights, leaving them unable to help in this dire situation. Segata could feel plenty of unnatural energy flowing form the Silvite's body and feel the rage emanating from his very body to know that it would be a tough call to pick a fight with him. He man dropped his Sega Saturn dramatically and git into a serious judo pose in preparation of proposing a deal.

"You seem to talk big for someone that lived before Sega's very departure from the console wars. Nothing like feeling like major threat since the day Vyse defeated you so long ago. So how does it feel playing the second fiddle to a more iconic villain like Eggman? Feeling the need to relive your legacy now that you have that military might from many other black hearted allies. Pathetic, even I wouldn't stood this low just to prove my worth in this corrupt world," the crazy haired man said.

Ramirez had no intention of listening to this man's words and focused more on attempting to assassinate Ristar after getting the Chaos Emerald.

"If trying to make me angrier just to fight you will get me to spare your little friend, then I doubt it will work. I am man who's willing to complete the mission as fast as possible and there's nothing you can do to stop me from doing so, old fool. And this legacy that you speak of was over years ago and I suggest that you stop living in the past like some broken console," the Silvite remarked.

Dynamite Headdy would be tempted to actually shoot him with his Bullet head ability, but felt that this was now between Segata and a Dreamcast reject that doesn't know his place. Sir Pepper arched his thick brows to show how serious he is about what's going to happen with his star faced ally that was now in the hands of death now.

"You deny the words from a hardened Sega veteran because you are afraid of me. Such a response show that you are not ready to feel the power of a Sega Saturn at its full power. Besides, me and my allies had taken out most of your friends and the civilians are no longer in your control thanks to the help of some unlikely allies. If you think I'm joking, then take a look at the on looking crowd behind you," Segata said.

Several of the heroes would be confused at his words until they would turn around to see the crowd of civilians watching everything. Ramirez would also look at these unguarded civilians with his already rage induced eyes widened since it was impossible that his army would be defeated that quickly. Many people wearing beach clothing or regular clothing clamored along the gap between the beach and Outrun Bay's crowded street in a large crowd as they worried for the condition of their favorite vacation spot. Many people from a wide variety of ages, sizes, and sexes could do nothing but watch since it was best for them to leave it to their unlikely saviors to chase the Legion out after all the trouble they had caused. Several police officers also had their vehicles ready to surround the area now that Hardy and his partners ensured their safety to protect this area under the law. Billy Hatcher alone would be surprised by this sheer amount of people watching them since they actually view them as heroes that could potential solve the problems they had this day thanks to Ramirez's devious group. One thing in particular is that the family that Hardy and the others first saved where standing right in front of the heroes to cheer them on.

"We may not know who you guys are, but this is your moment to rise up against these terrorists and rid this beautiful city of these villains for good. While we have the police on our side, I think it's best for you to get them the hell out of here," the husband said while holding his son on his shoulders.

"Yeah, do what Sonic would do and save the day! We had enough of these guys making things hard for my family and the other innocent people around here! Kick their butt and make them cry with everything you've got," the boy screamed.

Hearing this type of support would make the Virtua Cop duo feel honored to save them earlier as they stood near Amy's group. Amy was about to say a word to the fully revived Omochao that would be near her, but felt that now wasn't time to talk since she wanted to hear what these civilians had to say. Gamma could do noting but scan for the identities of these individuals so that he could know about the status of their situations before he had arrived.

"That's right, you guys were hear for a reason and we would like to see you kick these guys out harder than the cops would. As a customer of BD Joe, I can tell that he would like for you all to do a favor for him," a spiky haired man yelled.

One of the police officers did a salute to show where he was before he would make his public announcement.

"This man had been protecting this city from many illegal individuals and stop many dangerous criminals until these Subspace freaks came along. And I'm not afraid to say that they were extremely hard for us to deal with at first. But now that you all are here, this officer would want you to do us a favor and stop these villains for us," the police man said loudly.

"You can do it guys! We want to be able to step foot on our beach again instead of having it ruled by these losers! Make sure they realize that one you get their posse and black ship out of here!" a blonde woman in a bikini shouts.

Her, like a few of the other beach goers, were turned into living vegetables by Grunty but regained their original form once the witch was knocked out cold the first time.

"My girlfriend is right, you've guys got this in the bag and we would want to be able to relax on the beach again. That silver haired punk before you is completely outnumbered now that most of his friends were knocked out! Get them out of here and make our lifeguard proud!" a dark haired man in blue swim trunks remarked.

The lifeguard was still frozen in place slowly thawing out since not a single person thought of thawing him out. The many people in the area continued cheering the heroes on from the sidelines as loudly as possible so that everyone would be able to hear them. Hearing this much people supporting their mission to stop the Legion actually made Amy proud that she's doing such a favor for Sonic while in the hands of their enemy. Billy Hatcher made sure to inform his faming Egg Animal to defrost the still frozen lifeguard since this beach needs to be spotless of any civilian.

"Bow wow!" the horned creature said before flying off in the direction of the lifeguard.

The civilians' cheer still raged on in the midst of this moment as the heroes stood their ground, mostly to show that they are not alone and Ramirez better listen well to everyone in this place. The shocked Silvite could already feel his strategic plans falling apart now that all these angry citizens were rallying against his group and the heroes now have all the support they need to stop him. While he still had one more trick up his sleeve focusing on taking out Ristar where he was would be the best thing to do. He clutched his blade and aimed it towards the frozen target with a serious look to show that he would least care about the support that went on from these weak individuals. Cipher had finished defrosting the ice that trapped the lifeguard and left the man alone to head towards Ristar.

"That's right boy, free Ristar so we can take these busy out and take that emerald from them!" Billy shouts victoriously.

The Valuan commander was officially in no mood to listen to the citizens' insults any longer and wanted to end this within a flash.

"Enough of your pointless rallying. That still doesn't mean that I'll spare the life of this fool for finding the Chaos Emerald. I shall execute him immediately just to show you all how much of a threat I really am!" he yelled in rage.

He would then swing his sword upon the star faced alien to end his life in the fastest way possible.

"Ristaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!" Alex Kidd yelled with tears in his eyes.

Everyone else would be screaming along with him besides Segata since this could have been their one chance to save him. It wasn't until a gunshot could be heard that made everyone freeze, even the vicious Ramirez himself that was close to splitting the ice that contained Ristar. Cipher still flew in his direction with his flaming wings to defrost his ally's frozen body while he could. Segata was ready to fight this silver haired man, but wondered when the gunshot came from that was sudden.

"Where did that shot fire from and who did it?" the puzzled judo practitioner said.

The Silvite man would look directly at the source of his pain, the arm he could had used to kill Ristar, was severely bleeding with a mild wound from that shot. It would be revealed that Janet and Hardy teamed up to deal a well timed double shot to disarm him in the worst way possible. The barrels of their pistols where aimed at that said arm as proof that they were the ones who did this to him. Cipher flew away to leave the newly defrosted Ristar alone, who would quickly walk away with the Chaos Emerald while Ramirez was still in shock about his sudden gunshot wound.

"Guys, you can handle the rest from here. We decided to do you a favor and weaken this guy's most valuable arm so that we wouldn't be much of a threat any more," the diligent cop said before looking back with a smile.

Amy and the others were thankful for what happened and Ristar quickly latched onto the entire group with his stretchy arms for a group hug.

"Come here old buddy, it's good to see you alive and well. We thought that this could have been your last day to shoot for the stars," Headdy said.

The star faced alien finally met with the entire group and nuzzled his face against the more closer friends like Sir Pepper and Alex Kidd. Amy was glad to receive this heartwarming hug from a new friend she would have been worried about about and laughed along with the other hugees.

"I was so scared that it could have been my last day. But it was a nice call of you to use your warm animal buddy to save my hide, Billy," he said in gratitude.

Cipher would reappear only to land on top of Billy's head and show that he and done well for the day.

"Cipher, thanks for doing us a solid with that lifeguard and Ristar today. We could had lost someone important if it weren't for you and those Virtua Cops," he said as the animal nuzzled his chin on his forehead.

Alberto felt that this was a heartwarming moment to see very close friends showing the love after such odds of facing these cruel villains and thought about the time he watched several of them race in the "good old days". Clarissa herself was already tearing up in the heat of the moment since she can easily get emotional at times like this and held her boyfriend tight.

"You know Alberto, I could just watch things like this all the time. They are more than just heroes, but people who have a deep connection with each other despite all the odds with those Subspace jerk. I just want them to get this over with so that we can all be friends with them," she said before sobbing.

"Clarissa, you may be right about what you said. As much as I love to tear the road with my prized Ferrari, nothing's more important than being round those that you care for and these guys are a good example of that," the tanned man replied.

Now things would take a darker turn in which Ramirez was now in a mood for committing mass murder now that he had been humiliated by these heroes look enough and his body visibly shook to show how mentally unhinged he was at this point. Despite the gunshot wounds he received, he was in no mood to stay down like a wounded dog and actually wanted to take action to reclaim that emerald aback from them.

"You all had messed with me for the last time and I won't let you all get away from me!" he yelled before revealing his terrifying face.

A majority of the citizens freaked out just like the heroes since a lot had changed about him at this point. His irises were now completely shrunken to reveal the many bloody red cracks surrounding it, all while he has high blood pressure veins accompanying his rage filled face. Now this was the Ramirez that Vyse would remember since their last fight and he had no ancient weapon on his side to fuse with. Segata Sanshiro would finally step forward since this was his fight and got into a judo stance.

"Get the Chaos Emerald and run, I will handle this young fool and show him why Sega had chosen me as their protector," he said in a serious voice.

"But Segata, we are here to put an end to these guys and running way with the emerald wouldn't be something that Sonic would want use to do," Amy said.

Segata looked back at her with that intense look in his eyes since he truly cared for anyone that associates themselves with Sega.

"Listen, I have a plan that could result in destroying their beloved ship and I can easily fulfill that. Just give me some time and I can handle this with no problem. Remember that explosive judo throw I've down to your cybernetic attacker earlier? I will do something like that again once I weaken him and things should be alright from here. Do you understand what I'm saying?" the man replied.

Amy was in no mood to leave anyone behind, even if it's someone who is way stronger than her and several of her allies. Bayonetta and Joe finally recovered from their long concussion and looked around to see everything that happened. The white ninja was now in a mood to look round for Greedy and see what became of him since his blackout.

"Strange, I don't seem to see that cloaked being anywhere? Is was Amy and the others successful in defeating him?" he asked in a drowsy manner.

Bayonetta would then spot the knocked out charred body of Zeena a few feet away from her and notice that the entire area where Grunty and the others were now resulted in a massive crater from Segata's attack.

"What in Jubileus's name happened here? Did some reinforcements arrive to help us out while were wounded?" the witch said in a sense of deja vu.

Then she could feel the vibrations from below her that reminded the witch of drilling and she thought about what could be going on in the sand beneath her. The tremors were now heading in the direction of Amy's group and the new heroes that appeared to accompany her. Then it came to hit her and the Umbran Witch figured out who is after them at the moment.

"Bayonetta, are you two wondering who these new allies are?" Joe asked.

Bayonetta shook her head and quickly stands in urgency of the situation since there were no times for silly questions.

"Joe, there is no time to wonder who those guys are at all. That white he aired white is drilling in the direction of them and we need to stop her immediately!" he barked.

Hearing her words alone was enough for the ninja to jump into action in a flash.

"Let's stop her now before its too late," he said in a serious tone.

The two would then run in the direction of the traveling vibration that would be plotting to attack their friends from below. Amy finished talking with Segata and allowed the man to fight Ramirez would ran in his direction with his bloodshot eyes glaring down at him.

"Trust me, I know what I'm doing. Just do your part while you all ahem the emerald in your position," he replied before running off.

Ramirez would aim his blade at him to create more ice spikes that rose below Segata's feet in an attempt to stop him. Then the crazy man and the idea of break a piece of the frozen stalactite and used it as a surfboard to head in his direction while sliding across his own ice.

"Now to show you why any hater of the Sega Saturn fears me to this day! Sega Satan Shiro!" he shouts as Ramirez leapt at him.

Then man would jump dead at him and dodge his sword swing to punch him in his gut. Ramirez screamed with the blood gushing from his mouth during the attack as his opponent stared at him intensely. He would then deal a few kicks to his body and punch him towards the same frozen crevice that he created. Amy and the others would watch where they stood to see how Segata was doing against Ramirez.

"Hey guys, are these fellows heading our way friends of yours?" Sir Pepper asked.

Then Omochao and Amy would be relieved to see Bayonetta and Joe fully recovered from their conditions, but Gamma knew that somethings wasn't quite right. He was already scanning the grind ahead of him to see a familiar foe heading in their direction and knew that explains why they were trying to warn them.

"Everyone, get out of the area now. There's another target heading our way from below and I'll handle it with my weapons," the robot warned.

Headdy could see the vibrations before him with his special eyes and grabbed Ristar's hand to run.

"You heard what the robot said, let's get out of this area before that spear girl attacks from below!" he said.

Amy wondered what everyone was running for once see saw Alex Kidd and the others getting out of the way. Then she followed them without hesitation as Omochao followed by since it was best to trust Gamma in this situation. The red E-Series robot aimed at the sand before him and locked on multiple times pinpoint where the vibrations where.

"Fire!" he said before launching a series of heat seeking missiles out of his gun at his desired target.

The explosives tore at the sand below him to reveal clouds of dust, forcing whoever was digging to finally reveal herself. A mass of blue aura launched itself out of the sand with a massive lance in hand ready to tear Gamma apart.

"Looks like you finally revealed yourself so that I can tear you apart like that other heap of junk that we wounded earlier. You should had stayed in the wastelands where you belonged instead of facing me," the angry Selvaria said.

It wasn't Bayonetta would appear right behind the Valkyrur woman to surprise her easily.

"There you are, I've been looking all over for you all day. Now let's finish off where things had started," she said in a threatening manner.

She then deals a deadly fist combo with the help of her Wicked Weave abilities to pummel the living Hell out of her opponent. Selvaria's azure flames weren't enough to protect her and she felt each powerful blow to her back within seconds, leaving Joe to keep going after Amy's group. Gamma would then follow him since it seems that he was noble enough to let this Umbran Witch handle thing from here.

"I'll leave the mission to defeat Selvaria to you. My higher priority is to protect Amy and the Chaos Emerald for now," he said during his speedy flight.

Bayonetta could feel the stroll of fighting a tough opponent as she kept attacking the silver haired woman's back with the full extended of her powers without the use of any Torture Attacks, Umbran Climax, or Demonic Climaxes. Selvaria could do nothing but gasp violently since she was now in for it and wash in no condition to fight back against this witch since Ristar's intrusion.

This power, she's even breaking thought my Azure Flames and me, a Valkyrian warrior, is losing to her. I wish that I could use one last resort just to kill her, but that could cost my life like the last time and Ramirez wouldn't want that.

Bayonetta then pulls back her hand as one of the Wicked Weave's hairy fist did so to prepare for the last hit.

"Goodbye!" she said in a sweet, sarcastic tone.

Then the hairy fist would finally come in contact with Selvaria's back and caused her to gag in pain. This last attack was enough to cause severe damage to her body and her azure flames slowly died within seconds to show signs of her giving in.

Please forgive me Ramirez, for which I had underestimated these fools instead of crushing them. Sorry for failing you.

The Valkyrur would be sent flying towards the direction of the setting sun during the midst of this chaotic battle. The witch would finally land onto the ground in her skimpier form and attempted to stand since her wounds from the missiles were still apparent. The people in the far back were cheering for her thanks to her efforts of taking on one of the top executives of the Legion, mostly the teenage girls and older men who were cheering for her. While someone of her appearance would be considered controversial for children to be exposed to, the citizens surprisingly had no problem with it since they though her appearance was more of that of a celebrity's special bikini. That, and mostly because they are more concerned about the villains finally getting chased out of Outrun Bay's famed beach.

"Witch Girl! Witch Girl!Witch Girl! Witch Girl! Witch Girl! Witch Girl! Witch Girl! Witch Girl! Witch Girl!"

Despite her hurt condition, the Umbran Witch had no problem with the human citizens cheering her on for her heroic act of sending Selvaria to a better place. Bayoenetta then uses this opportunity to perform another of her stylish poses to make the crowd go wilder to much of Gamma's speechlessness of the moment. The red robot looked in the other direction and saw that the heroes were now near their vehicles at a safe instance away from Ramirez. As for Ramirez himself, he struggled to keep up with Segata's speed and was in no condition of fighting him any longer. The man now had a more bloodied face with his Valuan uniform being torn and his arm in a worse condition. But the Silvite's endurance and determination were one of the few things that could keep him in check to fight this hardened Sega veteran. Segata himself was barely breaking a sweat since this fight was a cakewalk for him and now his foe knew to underestimate him.

"Are you going to give up yet? Or you'll just keep on fighting until you ruin the lives of others with the rest of your fellow low health bosses?" he said before cracking his knuckles.

The Valuan commander gave him that intense look with his crazed eyes and a mouth that looks like it would rip flesh of his victims in seconds.

I can't give up now, this mission shall not be a complete failure for the others. If I fail here, then we probably won;t be able to live anymore.

Ramirez would eventually start slowly raising his other hand into the air with the little strength he had left since it was now time for a last resort plan.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaauuuuugggggghhhhh! Holy Moon, give me your blessing!" he screamed at the top of his lungs.

Gear, Amy, and Billy hatcher turned around when the others were standing near the vehicles to see how their friend was doing.

"What's happening this time? Is the guy starting to prepare for another big attack," the blue haired warrior said.

The citizens would also grow curious of the silver haired man's yelling since this could be a sign that things weren't looking good. The man's arm was fully reached towards the sky and with moon in the right position, it would be the perfect time for him to start using his sacred Lunar Blessing technique. Now simmers of silver lights started to form around the palm of his hand with a bright white light enveloping the entire body to give himself that veil of mysteriousness while the ability was triggered. Segata would like to use this time to attack him head on, but his traditional Japanese values would lead hint o believe that such thing was dishonorable. Plus, he feel that if he would have no problem beating him again if this was meat to be a healing technique. While the blood remained on certain parts of his body, Ramirez could feel the pain in his body quickly disappearing and his gunshot would no longer cripples his good arm. This technique would show that there are dire situations when it would be useful and he was a man that had no intensions of losing to his foes easily despite their power.

Amy realized what he was doing to himself and still remained worried about what Segata was up against at this time. But what really caught her eye was the body of Selvaria Bles laying on the sand a few feet away from them and she was in a much worse condition than him. Her body laid in a position that could tell you if they might be dead and he mouth had blood seeping out of it in trails. While Amy was surprised that Bayonetta had defeated her, the good Rose in her felt that she should't be left like that. It wasn't until the Virtua Cops, Alberto, and Clarissa arrived at the moment to start observing the defeated Valkyrian body and wondered what to do with her.

"Segata is really in for it now since that silver maniac doesn't know when to give up," Headdy said.

The puppet would notice Amy running towards the direction where Selvaria was and knew that she was up to no good trying to hang around a villain while they're down.

"Amy, get back here! Just leave her where she is since she's part of the Legion! They are bad people who don;t deserve any form a special treatment!" he beamed.

The rosy rascal looked back at her friend that tried warning her and had no intention of listening to their fear of helping the wounded.

"Sorry Headdy, but she's extremely hurt and needs help. Not all bad people are completely evil and I might be the one to talk to her!" she remarked.

Just like the time she tried talking to Shadow, this would be the right moment for her to help someone in need and what happened to her was no joke due to being a victim of Bayonetta's brutality. Hardy took out a pair of handcuffs and prepared to give her the same treatment that any criminal deserves.

"Hardy, are you sure about this? We are dealing with someone who should have the power to destroy the entire jail cell when she's angry?" said the unsure Janet.

"Janet, it's the best thing we can do for now since chances are that the others are dead and she's the only living one left to arrest. Besides, having one of the Legion members sent to the government for information is exactly what they would want us to do. Trust me, things are going to be alright since the citizens wants us to get rid of them in the best ways possible," he said after chuckling.

The cop would lift one of the fallen Valkyrur's hands and prepare to lock 'em up for the sake of many lives that were threatened. Amy would knock the cuffs out of his hand with a well aimed tarot card to the man's surprise, which caused all of the surrounding humans to gasp.

"What the hell? I could have swore that I…."

He would eventually notice an serious standing before him with her hands widened as a sign of negotiation, with her heart heavily beating in fear since messing with a cop's job is quite the bold move for her. Alberto and Clarissa were completely speechless since it was pretty dodgy to actually stop a cop from arresting a dangerous criminal.

"Please, let me see if she's alright. I think I can be able to take care of her and see if she's perfectly fine with speaking with me," she pleads.

Hardy recognized that gesture and had no choice but to surrender since it's best for authority to lessen to the requests of their fellow citizens. Meanwhile, Ramirez was now back in good condition thanks to the time he took to recover every part of his body and he had no problem getting ready attack Segata again. The Saturn fanatic stared intensely back at him before creating a few clones of himself in preparation of finishing him off.

"You had been wasting my time long enough, inexperienced boss. I guess me and my posse might as well get this over with quickly if my allies will ever leave this place without any trouble," he said in a serious tone.

Ramirez then used another un expected ability of his' to turn the tides, one in which would be proven useful for taking out any groups of fighter stye hard way.

"Sorry, but I'm afraid that I've been toying with you long enough. You've made the mistake for creating your "party" since I have the perfect plan to turn your next strategy against you!" the Silvite screamed.

Hardy backed up so that Amy could get a bit closer to Selvaria's body and see if there were any signs that she's breathing. She checked her wrist for a pulse and felt her heart to see if her heart was in any good condition. What Amy could feel was a weak and slow beat since what she dealt with was no good, plus the abuse of her Azure Flames to keep from falling was putting her body into a lot of pressure before hand.

A weak heartbeat and pulse is no good. I've got to think quick and find some way of taking care of her fast or else she't not going to make it.

She would eventually hold her hands above the wounded Valkyrian's chest and begin healing her with a special pink aura that emanates from her hand. Clarissa would be awed by this since a healing power was something that she feels would be something she didn't expect to experience. Alberto watched Amy's hands closely to watch this pink light glow and slowly heal Selvaria's body, with the twin cops watching the magic happen.

"Are you sure that it's alright to do this? She could possibly attack us right here once you finish nursing her back to health," Hardy said with his arms crossed.

Amy carefully focused more on healing her wounded patient than giving an answer and had faith that she can communicate with her in the end.

"Just watch me, I'll make to have a talk with this woman once I get done healing her," she replied calmly.

Segata would be struggling to fight both of his own clones in a scuffle between his own posse, little did he expect them to turn against him soon as Ramirez raised his hand. One of the clones leapt at the man's back and attempts crushing his next with his thighs leaving the other to attack his body freely.

"Osu! Time to vanquish from the light, you evil being!" the he shouts before running at him.

The real Segata still gripped on the clones legs and he tried shaking him off of his shoulders, with his eyes closed shut and hot blooded face sweating in exhaustion.

"There's no way for you to attack your creator. It's because of that silver haired young one's trick's isn't it?" he said. The other clone kicked his similar leader in his stomach to cause more coughing of blood. Ramirez watched as the chaos enfolds before him thanks to his back-up plan to defeat Segata turns out to be working.

"This another example of my true power, the Silver Nightmare. With this ability, I can make anyone turn against their own allies and that "puppet" shall be the key to me defeating my enemies. This was a good tactic that would be useful when fighting against the Blue Rogues in the past and now you'll get a taste of what it's like to be defeated by your own allies," he explained.

The Segata clones continued to torture the real deal by double teaming on him and Joe's group watched everything from afar.

"We can't just sit there, we've got to stop his berserk clones before it's too late!" the diligent ninja said.

He ran towards the clone and threw few kunai at their back sot get their attention. Little did he know is that any form of projectile is useless against mighty glaciers like Segata and his clones. Gamma was thinking about shooting these clones with his cannons, though hew realized that the real Segata could be hurt in the progress.

"No good! I've got to think of another strategy for this mission!" he said in his usual monotone.

"It's useless as long as I'm here. Once I make a single gesture, they will still attack for me and serve as the ultimate pawns in killing your friend. If bullets didn't hurt him, then you are better off using better methods of defeating them if you can," he said while watching the fight.

Joe jumped onto the back of the clone that strangled Segata and stabbed him in his back with Gamma knocking out the other clone with a massive metal fist. The Sega Saturn mascot thankfully landed onto his knee and bested heavily due to that being quite the near death experience for him.

"Thank you, dear friends. I could have been reduced to no lives at the hands of my own creations," he said in strain.

Now it was Joe and Gamma's turn to fight these rogue clones to do their new ally a favor as the two prepared to attack again.

"Hinotama no Jutstu!" Joe shouts before launching his fireballs at one of the clones.

Gamma locked onto his target multiple times and aimed his gun at the inhuman target.

"Target confirmed! Commence clone termination!" he said before firing his explosives at him.

The clones were on fire from these powerful attacks and still wanted to fight their enemies while under the influence of Ramirez's Silver Nightmare technique.

"Let's get this over with since the others are still having their own problems. Amy appeared to be near the body of the enemy and she might attack her in any moment," the E-series robot said.

The two continued their hectic fight against the Segata clones with all their might as Bayonetta watched. The Umbran Witch was truly curious about what Gamma said, then remembered exactly who this person could be.

Damn, she's messing around with that woman? Does she know that she's probably going to get herself hurt?

Ramirez also thought about what Gamma said and wondered what became of Selvaria in the mists of this. The man grew from angry to shocked once he took a look at what Amy was doing to the east of him. The Valkyrur's body would be surrounded by a few civilians and cops with the pink hedgehog healing her. But being the man who couldn't think straight when it comes to the battlefield, he at the conclusion of her being dead at the hands of her enemies and the crowd preparing to dispose of her body. Gamma managed to drill into the burning clone's body with his weapon with his ninja ally dishing the pain with his explosive techniques during the fight. The Silvite felt something painful in his heart as if he lost something important to him while looking at the lifeless face of Selvaria.

No, no! There's no way in hell that she would be defeated that easily by these insignificant fools! And now they are trying to dispose of her body while I'm busy fighting with that man? No they will pay, I'll make sure to kill all of them where they stand.

Now the man's blood boiled as he built up his emotional rage with his free hand gripping in a tight manner. Ramirez was now at the point where negotiation would not work with him anymore and he's indeed out for blood. Bayonetta saw the way he was reacting and knew that it was a sight of bad things to come.

If you think that you'll lay a single hand on any of my friends, then you'll be the first to be on Gomorrah's dinner plate!

She would used this opportunity to dark in the direction of her friends in the form or a black panther and left trails of dark plants. Ramirez saw exactly what she's planning to do and charged in the same direction at a speed that could rival the average human.

"You think that you can stop be from killing her? Then watch as I do so right at this very moment!" he shouts.

Joe saw what happened and tried to go after him before getting punched by the flaming clone. He staggered back from the hit, but still had the energy to continue his one-on-one with him.

"Bayonetta, stop him from harming any of our allies, especially Amy!" he shouts before continuing his fight.

Amy was still healing the woman since the past few minutes as the Virtua Cops and Outrun couple observed the hedgehog's heroic actions.

"Almost there, she should be able to speak in a minute. There's little chance of her thinking about attacking any of use after this," she said in a serious tone.

Suddenly, one of the arms of this silver haired maiden began to twitch and it gave her a sign that she's close to finished.

"Amy, her hand just moved! That means that your healing trick is actually working. Just speed up the process since the others should be almost done soon," Alberto said in excitement.

Janet looked over to east to see that things weren't going well for the heroes on the other side. The first thing she could see was an angry Ramirez heading their way with his terrifying eyes set on killing them. To make matters worse, Segata appeared to have been dealt some pain with his brain washed clones fighting his allies.

"Guys, it looks we have to to hurry up with what we're doing since that man is on his way here to slaughter us for dealing with her body!" she exclaimed.

Hardy and the couple seen what she was talking about and were equally as terrified as her, with Amy still focused on healing Selvaria.

"Uh Amy, now is the time to stop what your doing and get away from her. There would be no reason why he would be hunting us if it weren't for thinking that we'd discard her!" the tanned man panicked.

Ramirez still had his eyes set on killing them and held his blade into the air to gather even more strength.

This fool is going to attack them from afar. But that won;t happen on my watch since this dark and handsome maniac is more dangerous than the average angel.

Bayonetta then pounces at him to deal a deadly bite to his stomach in her panther form, causing the angered Silvite to scream.

"Damn you, get off of me while I'm avenging her defeat!" he said while clutching her back with his free hand.

Ice crystals would slowly start to cover her body as she continued to bite his left side with these jaws. He still stared intensely at the witch while her feline form would slowly be frozen by his cold hands of determination to kill. She struggles to hold onto him any longer due to the ice being stringer this time due to his raging emotions and strong grip.

I'm sorry Amy, but I couldn't do anything more destructive since that would result in hurting the others. Just try not to die on my watch.

Now the Umbran Witch would be deuce to a living popsicle as her fangs were still locked into the silver haired man's flesh. Ramirez then ripped her way from his body, which would result in another bloody wound on his body, and tossed the frozen panther way like she's nothing. He still pursuits his targets before him with his blade ready and had no more time to waste in grieving her "death". Amy would finally be done healing once she felt the woman's pulse start acting normally and backed away from the woman to give her some room. Alberto and Clarissa made the opportunity to do so too since they were aware of the angry Silvite that was on his way there with the cops still standing their ground to secure the path. Now this would be the moment where Selvaria would attempt trying to wake up on her own now that Amy did her part on nursing her back to health. The silver haired open starts opening her eyes slowly to get a view of the bright sun that rose above her. She then looked around to where her pink savior was with a look of confusing since she would not expect this from her.

"Why? Why did you go… out of your way to heal your own enemy? Aren't we …. supposed to be on opposing sides?"

she said with her bloodstained mouth. The Virtua Cops would already be a few feet away from their frets shooting at the incoming Ramirez to slow him down. But their bullets are easily dispatched by his excellent blocking and he would deal a deadly slash to both authorial figures.

"Remember you place and make sure to stay the hell out of my way!" he snarled before running off.

Both wounded cops would be left laying on their backs in pain due to the severity of that attack.

"Damn it, we couldn't do anything to stop…." Hardy said before passing out.

Amy would eventually help the woman up with her strong arm and watch the Amazonian woman stand before her. The European commander would be at a loss of words about the reasons for her rescue and wished that she could properly thank her for it.

"Amy, that was a bold thing you had done for someone like me. Risking your life for a fellow warrior despite me being for the side of wrongdoing. If there's only something I can do to repay you?" she said calmly.

Before Amy could say a word, life flashed before her eyes as the emotionally broken lover of her patient appeared before her with a hellish look in his eye and weapon ready to attack. This moment would have been the time to run, but his sudden appearance com pined with his terrifying expression made Amy froze up in fear.

"Go to Hell, just like the rest of your pathetic friends!" he said before dealing that powerful slash to her body.

Selvaria widened her face in horror as the blood sprayed from her rescuer's body and felt like her love for Ramirez would disappear in that one shocking moment. The rest of Amy friends were devastated at what they saw from afar, but Clarissa and Alberto were the most traumatized since they were close enough to see the whole thing.

Sonic, was I able to do the right thing like I said you would? I guess you would be the one questioning my own actions if you were here to see this. I'm really sorry for doing this, my friends.

The last thing Amy would see is the sun that shined on her face before going cold and closing her optical view permanently.

So the hero Mario would stumble into a graveyard full of iconic video game big names (next to an abandoned Sega HQ of all things) while on his journey to stop Bowser's plans. After being devastated by the lost of an old friend when discovering his grave, he would then be reminded that saving this world would be something that people would want him to do instead of crying over spilled mushrooms. Meanwhile, many citizens of Outrun Bay would be cheering for the heroes to stop the Legion's plans while a certain Egg Animal saved Ristar from inevitable execution. It wasn't until Segata would tell the others to run away from the beach while he personally dishes the dirt with Ramirez. Many things took a turn for the after Bayonetta defeating Selvaria like Ramirez turning Segata's clones against him and Amy risking her life to tend the Valkyrian woman's wounds with some company. Due to another misunderstanding, the Silvite would go for Amy's head in a fit of rage while Joe's group would be busy fighting Segata's brainwashed clones. The heroes' efforts to stop him where futile and he finally put Amy out with a deadly attack before Selvaria could properly thank her for healing her. So you guys might know about Amy;s fate and what Selvaria would do about her brash lover in next week's chapter. I hope you Nintendo fans enjoyed what I've written for Mr. Iwata since I worked hard to make it pretty poignant. There's a 60% chance that fans of Sega would also be fans of Nintendo, hence why I've done so in the first place. Until then, see you real soon and that you had paid your respects to Iwata this week.
