The Absolution cruised silently through space as the camera zoomed in on the bridge where TOM was waiting.
"Hey there, been a while since we sat down and just talked but a lot has happened." TOM said, relaxing in his command chair. "Let's do a quick recap:"
The screen first showed Batman battling against villains like the Joker and Mr. Freeze.
"Batman: Vengeance has come to an end with the Dark Knight standing victorious…As expected." TOM chuckled before the screen changed to show the events of Rise of the Phantom King. "Then Danny Phantom went from hero of the world to new king of the Ghost Zone, brought on by his failing connections to humanity. Consider this prequel to Reign of the Phantom King which will eventually come out but we're working on it."
The screen then showed the new GrimmFall: Chibi.
"And then we can't forget the newest and funny edition to the GrimmFall series, GrimmFall: Chibi."
"Everyone, the city is under attack!" Major Glory flew into the room. "Justice Friends, assemble!"
The Justice Friends reached behind their backs and each pulled out a strange but large coin.
"IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"
"And now prepare to go beyond! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Rolf shouted as his hair and Aura turned pure white. "SUPER WEINER GOD!"
Rolf brought his hands together and gathered energy. "SHA-KLA-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!"
He shot his hands forward, firing a massive beam of light that vaporized the Diamonds and half the Gem Homeworld.
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
"And here's a little challenge: if anyone out there has a few ideas that might tickle the funny bones of anyone who watches this series, fire it out way to Lord Maximus and you might see your idea on the next episode." TOM pointed to the screen. "Go ahead, no idea is bad enough. It's all fun and silly stories meant to make everyone laugh and feel good about themselves. And don't worry, more action is coming as we get closer and closer."

"Now that I have found the source of your horrid music that will be two plagues down." Ramses was shaken from his thoughts by Van Kleiss talking to him. "When that barrier suppressing my power is down I'll destroy the cursed slab. See how much you want it after that."
Ramses glared, preparing to summon his locusts but made a slight alteration to his plan.
See to her safety.
This command was sent into a shadow that traveled out from under Ramses as he raised his hands.
Van Kleiss frowned and an alarm sounded a second later. He looked at the view screen and saw massive dark cloud approaching the mountains.
His eyes widened when he realized it wasn't a cloud.
It was a massive swarm of locusts.
Xxx
"Oh man. Why did these barrier projectors have to be so far away?"
Scaramouche was groaning the whole walk to the barrier projector he had been assigned to take out, even though he was a cyborg.
Was it his fault he just couldn't take doing menial labor?
Come on, he's the top assassin in the world!
Right?
"Ah, there it is." Scaramouche grinned as he found his projector which took the form of a giant crystal. "Man, the S-Man went all out this time. Now, should I really destroy it?"
On the one hand, he needed to keep up his appearance as a loyal member of Van Kleiss' gang until the big fight.
But on the other hand, keeping this barrier up would weaken Van Kleiss long enough for the cursed slab to weaken his forces.
Xxx
"As we speak, the two thieves I hired will be smuggling the slab out of Egypt and overseas. It was costly but they managed to steal the slab before they were caught by the Mejai." Sammael explained. "By now it is beyond their reach. When it arrives in Nowhere and is found by Van Kleiss, be ready to do what you must to solidify yourself as a member of his Pack. The purpose is to weaken Van Kleiss before he can carry out his plans and then let the Scotsman and those he brings with him begin tearing down his lair and battling his forces, giving us the time we need to arrive."
Xxx
'Sammael was explicit in his instructions.' Scaramouche looked up and saw the cloud of locusts descending on the mountains that hid Van Kleiss' lair. 'But we can't be sure he's weakened enough and have bought enough time for those goodies to get their act together and come here guns a-blazing. And yet if I hesitate…' Scaramouche looked at the crystal projector. 'Van Kleiss might figure me out before I can put a deep enough rift in his gang, making them doubt him and turn on him when things get dicey.'
Scaramouche sighed. "This is why I prefer the life of an assassin. Doesn't nearly take as much thinking as a spy and a double agent. Though, if the others haven't reached their projectors yet it might even matter if I hesitate or not."
Scaramouche looked around, his optics having been upgraded with long range scopes that allowed him to see at a great distance, staring in the direction of the other projectors and the ones that were approaching them.
"Let's see…Chuck is well on his way with the Rebellion, Hidekazu will be there momentarily and Daniel's stopping to look at the swarm." Scaramouche smirked, knowing he had some time to kill. "Perfect. I got a few minutes to relax and watch the show."
The locusts descended upon the mountain and the cyborg assassin grinned as he watched them begin to eat away at the cover.
"Too bad I didn't bring popcorn."
Xxx
Van Kleiss was gritting his teeth, watching as the locust started eating their way through the mountain. "DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"
This could not be how it ended for him.
Not when he had come so far after fleeing his Earth and coming here, enduring his so-called alliance with Sammael while planning to stab him in the back when he finalized his plan with his nano-virus and achieved his godhood.
The locust ate away at the mountain protecting his fortress, protecting its metallic interior and began working on eating their way through it.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!" Van Kleiss screamed so loud his voice echoed throughout the fortress.
Xxx
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!"
Somehow, the loud scream of Van Kleiss echoed across Nowhere, all the way to the approaching Grimm army as it made its way through the Wildlands.
And onboard his Galleon, Sammael grinned as the echo of Van Kleiss' scream was heard.
Xxx
"Here it is. Finally."
Chuck Hector looked at the barrier projector which resembled a large crystal and scoffed. "No doubt, this is Sammael's handy work. He must have planted it here when he was helping Van Kleiss set up shop and the guy never suspected until now. Guess that wasn't a surprise."
Chuck knew Sammael and how he worked. The Fallen King didn't just stack the odds in his favor, he built them up to the point he cannot lose no matter what happens.
He does not sleep.
He does not eat.
He does not drink.
Every second is spent planning his inevitable victory.
Call it experience from his years of battle, death and destruction or perhaps he was always a grand tactician but Sammael followed the old saying: 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer' as well coming up with contingencies when said friends were looking to stab him in the back.
'It's unlikely this is his plan for dealing with Van Kleiss. The approaching army may as well a façade for what he is truly planning. Though, despite the fact I have no idea what his endgame plan is I couldn't care less.' Chuck thought before raising his metallic fist and smashing the projector. 'As long as me and my group get our pay and chance for revenge it doesn't matter.'
SMASH!
SHATTER!
Xxx
"There it is."
Hidekazu Kobayashi raised the buzz-saw end of his Khakkhara staff, the buzz-saw end above his head and swung it down.
SLASH!
SHATTER!
The crystal was sawed in half and broke down into dusty shards that released an ethereal sparkle of light as it faded away.
"My mission is accomplished." Hidekazu said solemnly.
Xxx
"There it is."
For Daniel, he simply held up his sickle arm that switched into its cannon mode and fired.
BOOM!
The crystal projector was instantly destroyed.
Xxx
"Oh, looks like the others have done their job. My turn." Scaramouche said, pulling out his specialized knife that doubled as a tuning fork and slashed the crystal. "Nobody plays the blades like I do."
The crystal began to vibrate as Scramouche turned and walked, cracks appearing and spreading all over it.
"NOBODY! GEDALABO!"
BOOM!
With the last of the crystal projectors destroyed, the barrier around Van Kleiss' mountain faded and thus eliminated what was preventing Van Kleiss and the majority of his Pack from using their powers.
Xxx
Van Kleiss' eyes began glow golden yellow with a similar aura surrounding him. Ramses frowned, sensing a great power from Van Kleiss as he spread his arms out.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
From Van Kleiss came a great scream followed by a blast of golden light that spread throughout the fortress, repelling the locusts just as the mountain cover had been devoured. Van Kliess then plunged his hands into the floor, injecting nanites into the walls and in a matter of minutes, all the damage inflicted by Ramses and his curse had vanished.
"YOU THINK YOU COULD DEFEAT ME?!" Van Kleiss threw his head back as he let out a demented laugh.
With the mountain cover destroyed and the locust cloud repelled, Van Kleiss' fortress was out in the open for the entire world to see. A twelve hundred foot tall dark tower with four ion cannons near the exact top, pointing north, south, east and west.
Van Kleiss grinned as he turned to Ramses who was scowling. "I am not from this world but I plan to conquer it and then return to my world to do the same. I was brought here by the enemy of this world, maybe you know of him, but I serve no one. I failed to dominate my last planet but I am going to conquer this one and then move on to the rest of the greater Omniverse."
He looked out the windows of the command deck, seeing the landscape of Nowhere.
"This is not a threat, this is not a warning…It's a pure fact. When I spread my virus across this world and to all Earths, all will be made part of me. They will know me as their one and only true god." Van Kleiss said, his eyes flaring gold as he faced Ramses. "And you…You maybe be undead but I don't fear a ghost."
"I am no ghost." Ramses growled. "You cannot destroy me."
"So I won't. I'll just destroy that cursed slab." Van Kleiss retorted with a smooth grin.
Ramses narrowed his eyes and he let out an angry growl as he summoned back his cloud of locusts. "That will not happen!"
"Oh please." Van Kleiss scoffed and repelled the locusts with another golden energy blast. "You can't hurt me now."
He fired an energy blast at Ramses who vanished into a dark shadow that vanished into the floor. Van Kleiss chuckled as he approached where the ghostly pharaoh once stood.
"Not so confident you can win now, are you?" Van Kleiss then looked out through the front window, looking across Nowhere and seeing a dark cloud gathering in the distance. "All right, Sammael. Let the games begin."
Xxx
Bunny, the unofficial fourth and recently deceased Powerpuff Girl was looking at her reflection in awe and tears as smile forms on her face. "I'm...I'm cute."
She now looked like she could pass a twin of the Powerpuff Girls with purple hair and matching eyes along with the same outfit, looking like a normal little girl.
Nyx chuckled. "You always were, it's just you're the outside matches the inside so to speak, because now like myself you have been reborn from the ashes of your death into what you truly are and were always meant to be! The girl you see before was what you truly were meant to have been from the start, if those three that called themselves your sisters hadn't sabotaged you from birth, by using knock off ingredients."
Nyx conjured up four stone statues depicting the Powerpuff girls sharing a happy moment with their father Professor Utonium, which Bunny frowned at and began to clench her fists at the sight of.
"You're angry. More than understandable after what happen to you, and now that you can think more clearly about things and the short life you lived. Those girls created you to only be a servant half hazardly at that which sabotaged you from the start, all while having the gall to call themselves your family." Pericles noted, sitting atop Nyx's shoulder.
Nyx put her hand on Bunny's shoulder. "I know that you're feeling pretty overwhelmed right now, after all it's not everything that your resurrected by a stunning Lady of Chaos, and given the chance at the life that was robbed from you. But like all others I see potential in I want you to know that you have a choice."
"Really?" Bunny looked up at her.
"I offer you a place to belong, a place where you are appreciated, a place that will help you reach your potential and raise higher than the Puff's ever could hope, a place where you are loved and cared for by a real family! More than that I promise you vengeance and justice against the ones that are to blame for your suffering and death. Join me and I will do what those Puffs should have done. I will look out for you and help you reach your true potential." Nyx promised with a motherly smile.
"And all we ask in return is your trust and loyalty." Pericles finished.
Nyx looked over and gestures at the Utonium family statues. "But as I said you have a choice, so if for some crazy reason you prefer and desire it, then I'll allow you go back to them, and try to be an actual family."
Pericles arched a brow. "That is of course if you want to give them another chance?"
Bunny stared at the four statues smiling happily together and all she could feel was rage in her boiling up, with her mind flashing back to everything that happen on the single day she lived, and as she looked back at it all with her great hind sight and keener mind, all she feel is her rage grow, and all she saw was how she was taken advantage of and made a fool, till she sacrificed her very life for the very three that used and doomed her from the start.
The look on her face her face grew darker as she growled out a faint. "No."
Nyx and Pericle looked questionable at her, before Bunny suddenly screamed out in rage while letting loose a visible purple aura of power that surrounded her body. "NOOOOOOOO!"
Then glaring directly at the statue with eyes alit with vicious purple glow, she let loose a laser blast from them it shattering the statues into pieces. Bunny panted for breath as the head of Bubble rolls by her feet with Bunny looking down at it with an angry glare and tears, before she raised her fist and punched the head destroying it completely and leaving a crater.
She then fell to her knees and started banging on the ground in anger and tears. "Why, why, WHY DID THEY DO IT! All I wanted was to make them proud, for them to love me! I know I wasn't that smart before, but I still tried my best! Why couldn't they appreciate that?! Why couldn't they love me?! Why couldn't we be a family!?"
Then she collapses into her arms crying into them and in the ground.
Nyx knelt down and rubbed Bunny's back. "It's all right to feel this way, just as it is all right to hate them. They made simply take the workload off their backs, to lie down all day and do nothing while their city was in chaos and didn't bother to properly teach you when they failed to make you like them."
Bunny looked up at Nyx who was staring down with sympathy.
"Come with me and I will take care of you. You will never feel this way again as long as you are with me."
Bunny suddenly glomped Nyx's leg's, startling the Lady of Chaos but she looked down at Bunny looking up at her with a teary smile. "Thank you, thank you so much for all of this."
Nyx felt an honest smile crossing her face as she ran her hand through Bunny's hair. "No need to thank me believe you deserve so much more after what you went through."
Than Nyx picked her up and held Bunny in her arms. "And more you shall have because this is the only beginning, together we're going to take this world by storm, and make all those that ever hurt us regret it."
Bunny smiled in Nyx's arms. "That sounds awesome! And I'll make you proud I promise!"
Xxx
Once Bunny was asleep, Nyx closed the door and walked out into the living room of her little home, thinking of what to do next.
"And what is on your mind?" Pericles asked, perching himself on his favorite chair.
"With June gone, our plan to reach the magical elders is on hold until I find someone else to open the way but with Bunny on our side, getting into the vault of the Hall of Heroes will be easier now." Nyx remarked, sitting down on her purple couch.
"Is that so? The display of affection back there led me to believe that Lady Nyx was perhaps filling in some deep hole within her heart." Perciles observed with a raised eyebrow.
Nyx looked to Pericles. "And what is that suppose to mean? I've made it more than clear beyond settling some old debts mortal me's life is of no concern to me."
Pericles arched his brow slightly higher. "But is it really? Because I can't help but notice that you've contradicted yourself a few times on that subject, just recall what you said to Sammael when he asked what you desired."
Xxx
Nyx hummed in thought and then cheerfully exclaimed. "What do I want out of life? Well I guess I want FFFP! "
Moloch blinked. "Uh, fffp?"
Nyx replied giggling with her signature smirk. "Yep FFFP! It means Family, Freedom, Fun, and of course to keep all of the above secure, Power!" Nyx hummed thoughtfully while tapping her chin. "Though I wonder if another p should be added to it, as I wouldn't say no to some prestige as well."
Xxx
Pericles now had a heavy serious look. "Family. As much as you try to deny it mistr-no Nyx, a part of you still cares for and longs for the family that was taken away and denied from you. And unlike what you've been telling yourself that doesn't make you weak. Because whether as a mortal or Lady of Chaos Nyx Kane has been many things but she has never been weak!"
Nyx's eyes flashed purple. "No, she was worse than. A whining, crying little girl who sat back and let everything that happened to her while expecting someone to save her. That's not me anymore."
"Do you really believe that?" Pericles asked.
"I know it." Nyx scoffed. "I am no longer bound by that simpering brat's woeful life and regret and you would be wise to never speak like this again or I'll burn your feathers off."
Pericles said nothing as Nyx walked to the front door and left the house, only glaring at the back of his mistress.
