Skull Dome Outside Area, Connor vs Sentibug….

The clash of Bullets vs Yo-Yo still was raging as the respective combatants tried to hit each other. Connor evaded Sentibugs Yo-Yo, even getting lucky and shooting it out of the air with his revolvers. It was this resistance that was making Sentibug a bit angry.

"What does it take to make you run out of ammo?!" Sentibug asked in annoyance.

"As much as it's gonna take to stop you from doing your yo-yo tricks." Connor retorted. "Aren't you tired of fighting in a stalemate like this? C'mon, be sensible here!"

"Oh, that's just rich coming from you." Sentibug said. "You have no idea, do you? About how out of your league you are."

"You say that like I don't know sometimes what crazy stuff I got into before this. And I've still come out without a scratch." Connor said.

"All of that was just dumb luck. If you didn't have allies like Jexi and the others, you wouldn't even be alive right now. In fact, I'd count it up to luck that you even got a second chance at all!" Sentibug said, rapidly slinging her Yo-yo, which Conner evaded as much as he could, though getting a few bruises.

"And are you lucky to be in this position you are? Having been rescued only to have your creator just up and be defeated?" Connor asked.

"Shut up! You don't know me, and you don't know the eyes you've got on you!" Sentibug yelled. "You think you can call yourself the Strongest Underworld Gunman and not draw attention to yourself?!"

"I know that'll give me a target, what's the point you're trying to make?" Connor said throwing a grenade which Sentibug avoided. "You say a lot of things, but I don't think you know if they're true. Just like how you can't accept that you're not the real Ladybug."

Sentibug growled as the aura of darkness around her swelled. "I am real!"

"Then how come you're still being held together by the object possessed by the Amok that made you?" Connor said. "All it takes is to break that keychain, and you're history."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Sentibug cried as the darkness around her continued to grow. "I'm real, Ehto made me real! I deserve to exist as much as that other me! And if I can't do it as a hero…then I'll do it as a villain! So just die already!"

The dark aura exploded, throwing both of the combatants off their feet and obscuring the area in a black fog.

"Ow…yeah, I hit a nerve." Connor groaned as he got back to his feet. "Alright, where'd she…go?" the gunman stopped when he saw a shape that was definitely not Sentibug moving in the fog. "Wait, is that…?"

Connor's question was cut off when a bolt of lightning shot out from the shape, Connor narrowly avoiding the bolt. At that moment, the fog cleared, allowing the cowboy to see Sentibug on the ground…looking up in shock at the large, jellyfish-like creature with white skin broken only by a circular black face with red eyes…and the emblem of the Unversed at the tip of its lower body.

Deep Space Jellyfish

Metamorphosis

"What the…?" Sentibug mumbled in surprise as she looked at the large Unversed. "Did I…summon that?"

(Cue- The Tumbling- Kingdom Hearts BBS)

"She summoned a Boss Unversed all on her own?!" Connor asked.

"And I think… I can do way more!" Sentibug said as she summoned a group consisting of Floods, Scrappers and Bruisers. "This is what Zenos was talking about…I've finally tapped into the darkness inside of me! With this power, I know I'm real! And I'll use it to prove to everyone I have a right to live!"

"You'll have to get past me first!" Connor said drawing his revolvers and preparing to fire… but Sentibug grabbed him by the arms and threw him around, disarming him of his revolvers as he hit the ground.

"That's not gonna be an issue now. Because now that I have all this power… you're nothing but a nuisance."

At this, all the Unversed charged at Connor as the Floods and Scrappers distracted him by barely missing him. He tried to go for his shotgun, rifle or even magnum, but Sentibug was too quick and rapidly beat him down with her yo-yo, Connor doing his best to fight back.

All his efforts were soon for naught as Sentibug completely wrapped him up in her yo-yo wire as Metamorphosis floated above him.

"I said I was going to take your life, didn't I?" Sentibug asked, wickedly smiling. "Well guess what? I meant it!"

With that, Metamorphosis blasted Connor with a powerful burst of electricity. Connor screamed out in pain as the lighting kept coming.

"Now say goodbye to your existence….forever!" Sentibug declared as a Bruseier charged right at him, and nailed him right in the chest with a powerful punch, resulting in an electrical discharge explosion.

(Song Fade)

As Connor was sent flying back in slow motion, all the volts of electricity coursed through his whole body. Barely clinging on to consciousness as much as he could as everything went black, seemingly losing his grip on the mortal coil…

But as he did, through flashes of white, he saw what looked like… visions. Mere snippets of things, at most. He saw two figures, a man and a woman, and a burning building. Then a scene where one unseen figure was holding the hands of two others with both of theirs. Next was a battle that featured these figures against three unseen others, each one of them wielding different weapons, such as a sword, scythe, yo-yos and more.

He also saw the visages of automatons and a mysterious young girl attacking, as well as two different trios of girls, as well as some sort of divine being in purple and white with black hair floating in the sky.

All the while this was happening, his hair, due to the electricity from Metamorphosis coursing through his body, turned white…. And a choir of female voices rang out.

"Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal...

Emustolronzen Finé el balal zizzl...

Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal...

Emustolronzen Finé el zizzl…"

After all of that, Connor fell to the ground on his back, eyes shut as his guns and hat fell to the ground.

"It's…over." Sentibug said after a moment of silence "Now to get Verde back to Lord Zenos." she turned to leave as a surveillance Gifter observed the battle.

"Reporting in to all of Onigashima! A Leader of the Hero Alliance… has fallen!" he said. "And that leader is…!"

Before it could finish, a loud heartbeat was heard that echoed throughout the entire island.

"What the? Where is…" Sentibug said before realizing. "No…it can't be!" she said looking back at Connor.

Indeed, the heartbeat was coming from Connor, and suddenly it picked up, resulting in two beats rhythmically in time, like the beat of a drum in a back beat. And it wasn't just Sentibug that heard it, everyone on the island was hearing it.

"What's going on? Is that a… heartbeat?" a Waiter said.

"Could it be…" Morph said. "This is…Connor's…"

"Connor." Ace said. "They were about to say he was dead… but he's still alive."

Back at the site, Sentibug couldn't believe her ears at the beating she was hearing, Connor's body twitching showing motion. A scrapper tried to finish him off, but suddenly Connor's eyes flashed open with the glint of a crimson glow as the scrapper was taken out in one shot. And then, he began to get up, as the beat of his heart was turned into a raging drum of war.

(Cue Song: Take This! "All Loaded" by Chris Yukine)

Music began echoing from seemingly nowhere as Connor stood up to his feet, showing off his now white-lavender hair as he stared at Sentibug, eye to eye.

"What's going on here? I was sure he was dead. Could it…he was revived with an Enhanced ability. Did he…awaken something from it?!" Sentibug thought. "I can't let him go free." she said. "Unversed! Kill him! He must not be allowed anywhere near Lord Zenos Road!" she ordered as the Unversed charged Connor.

"My…so slow." Connor said as a number of the Unversed were shot in a rapid fire style as they vanished.

"The hell? He fired several rounds…and I didn't even see him pull the trigger. This is …the ultimate form of quickdraw." Sentibug realized. "Metamorphosis!" she ordered.

Metamorphosis attacked Connor as vocals soon accompanied the song, joined by the rest of the army. Connor began shooting every Unversed close to him as he avoided their attacks. He then dodged a Bruiser's punch as he got one of his revolvers ready and unloaded all six shots into it to finish it off, all to the beat of the music as he reloaded both his trusty guns.

Metamorphosis then lashed out with its tentacles as the Gunner dodged backwards before unloading right into the creature's face before it soon faded.

"This…is impossible." Sentibug said drawing her Yo yo. "This is another spot of dumb luck. He may be the luckiest guy here. But…your luck has run out!" Sentibug called out before a gunshot was heard as her Yo-yo shattered as she was stunned.

"You were saying?" Connor asked, putting his hat back on.

"This can't be happening…it's like a bad dream." Sentibug said before she shook her head. "Ugh, forget it!" she said, summoning more Unversed. "I have to get back to Lord Zenos!"

The sentimonster picked up the one-armed Verde and hurried away as the new Unversed swarmed to block Connor off.

"Hmm…well…this is a pickle." Connor said as he drew his gun. "Let's put this to an end!" he said, firing a single gold bullet as it zoomed past the Unversed.

"Fool. What were you even…" she said before hearing a crack as she looked at the keychain she had on her.

"You were created by Mayura…given new life by Ehto…but you sold your soul to Zenos for revenge." Connor said as the keychain was cracking apart as was Sentibug. "So go back…go back to nothing and start again in your next life…Sentimonster!" he said as it cracked apart with nothing happening. "Huh?"

"I told you didn't I? I'm no longer the same as those others." Sentibug said, even as she drew a shaky breath. "I'm…I'm real." she said, hiding a smile within herself. She continued to run as a rift opened. "What is…" she said as she and Verde were pushed towards it as she looked back to a certain figure. "Darkrai…"

"Sorry…but we need you out of this battle for awhile." he said as both disappeared through it as it closed.

"So…is she…" Connor said.

"No…they're still alive. Just sent to a random world far from here." Darkrai said. "For now…it's important that we handle the remaining enemies." he said as the Unversed lunged at them.

"Say no more. I've got it!" Connor said as he went into a flurry of Bullet rain from all his guns, taking out each Unversed as the music still played on.

"(This form…I see…his heart connected to something and borrowed some of its power. But…this power…where does it originate?)" Darkrai thought.

As Connor looked to finish off the Remaining Unversed, the rest of them decided to get smart and bunched up together to form a Demon Tower, swirling up and shooting into the sky.

Connor responded to this by drawing his magnum as it went into beam mode as it started charging up the Demon tower charging right at him as he stanced up. As the song went into its final moments, Connor was ready as the Demon Tower charged, and he let loose his last shot with one declarative phrase….

"Kuraiyagare!" Connor yelled in Japanese, blasting the powerful laser as it crashed into the Demon tower and destroyed it all right on the spot, disintegrating it all into darkness. Connor then faltered as he collapsed to the ground.

(End Song)

"Of course…tapping into that power does leave one drained." Darkrai said as enemies began to approach. "Rest, gun toting warrior. We can handle it from here." he said as members of Ginhana Sky came to his side as they attacked the Unversed.

"Momo, seriously. Come on." Jexi said.

"Uh…" Momonosuke said.

"Don't tell me the big pink dragon is afraid of heights." Eddy said.

"Silence. A warrior fears nothing!" Momonosuke said. "Do not rush me."

"We're in a rush! Kaido will kill everyone unless we get back up there." Peacock said.

"Fine…here we go." Jexi said landing a piercing strike on Momonosuke, forcing the dragon into the air as he climbed towards the island. "Now we're talking!"

"The time has come once again! The mantle of Oden is filled by us!" Ed declared. "TO ONIGASHIMA!"

"Yes…we're doing it." Jexi said as Momonosuke was heading for the island and then went downward. "Uh…you know the roof is up right?"

"How do you expect me to fly with my eyes closed?" Momonosuke asked.

"Wait, what?!" they all said as they all screamed as Momonosuke rammed right into the Performance Hall.

"Damn, talk about making an entrance." David said.

"What the? A different dragon?!" Queen said.

"Wait…isn't that…" Spectra said as they saw Jexi, Luffy and the others riding the large pink dragon.

"Hey guys." Razmi said.

"Hey Razmi…" Eddy said as he shook his head. "Would be nice if we could go the rest of the night without crashing into more walls, Momo!"

"Uh…" Momonosuke said as he flew up to the roof.

"Uh oh…not again." Jexi said as Momonosuke flew through the roof and towards the second floor.

"Well…that is something that doesn't happen everyday." Serenoa said.

"It is, if it's guys like them." David said with a bit of a laugh.

Momo soon crashed up through into the second floor as Big Mom was still fighting with Hope's group.

"What the?!" Kidd asked.

"Straw Hat?!" Trafalgar Law asked.

"What is happening?!" Big Mom asked.

"Uh, Jexi? Wanna explain what's going on?" Hope asked.

"I really can't!" Jexi said as Momonosuke flew through a wall. "I'll see you guys later!"

"See you in two hours!" Luffy waved at them as they vanished from sight.

"...Yeah, they're fine." Mark stated.

"Well." Siege deadpanned. "Uhm… that just happened."

"Believe it or not…it's not the strangest thing our alliance has seen." Hope said.

"Yeah, some of us are probably half-insane." Mark said with a smile.

"Oddly enough… I believe you." Siege awkwardly chuckled.

"As for what actually is… We're not sure you want to know." Alphamon said having gotten off the dragon.

"Sure you didn't wanna…" Hope said.

"I've had enough falls and flying today." Alphamon said. "They'll be fine."

With the Jexi group, Momo was wreaking havoc across all floors.

"Momo, you gotta stop!" Luffy said.

"I can't open my eyes. I have something in them." Momonosuke said.

"Yeah…cause you keep crashing into things!" Ajna said.

"Just move up, dude! Up!" Eddy yelled.

"Another wall!" Double D said as they crashed through before they were soon above the roof.

"Hey…look. There he is!" Jexi said seeing Kaido fighting with Yamato.

"Yamato! The child of Oden requires our help!" Ed declared.

"Let's get in close, and synch up with her for a combo!" Peacock said. "Momo, go straight at him!"

"If you insist!" Momo said charging right at Kaido.

Meanwhile, Yamato was forced out of her hybrid form, but still eager to put in one more attack.

"Divine Swiftness…." Yamato said as her weapon surged.

"Ultimate Color…" Jexi said.

"Gear Fourth! Snake Man! Gum Gum…" Luffy said.

Ajna leaped high into the air as she shifted into her Heruka Form and raised her axe overhead before she began slamming it back down.

"Eat this, Kaido!" Ajna said, swinging her axe straight down as she matched her hits with Yamato, Jexi and Luffy.

"White Serpent!"

"Striking Fist!"

"Jet Culvern!"

Kaido was sent flying back before turning into his dragon form. "You two…how did you survive? Who is that dragon? Name yourself!" Kaido said.

"Nothing you do is gonna kill us! I'm the man who'll become the king of the pirates!" Luffy declared.

"And my name…is Kozuki Momonosuke! The man who will be shogun of Wano!" Momonosuke said.

"Wororororo! That little boy?! Sorry…but the world isn't big enough for two dragons." Kaido said.

"I'm glad we made it in time. Thank you for holding Kaido back, Yamato." Double D said.

"It wasn't just me. Lucia and a swordsman in blue helped stall him as well." Yamato said.

"Oh crap, that's right, Lucia! Is she okay?" Eddy said, looking around. "Where'd she go?"

"She retreated before me and Kaido began our fight." Yamato said.

"I'm… fine, friends…" Lucia contacted over comms. "Hop has taken me to a safe place, we cannot rejoin at this time, for the fire is too fierce for Hop to handle, and my wounds have to recover."

"Fire? Okay…we've clearly missed a lot while we were fighting." Jexi said.

"Yeah, Orochi started a big fire and it's… Kinda gotten out of control." Hop stated.

"Cheetah and the others went to take care of Orochi, but he escaped with a single head. After helping Jimbei defeat Whos-Who, Esmeralda went to help Francisca and Glacius put out the fires." David responded. "I did all I could to carry the fight while you were gone. I'm glad you made it back."

"A shame you are going to meet your ends here!" Kaido said, preparing to fire a Blast Breath before Momonosuke went and bit into him. "Gah!"

"If it wasn't for you…" Momonosuke growled as Jexi and Luffy landed combined hits.

"All of you…try and stop the island as much as you can. I guarantee…that we will win!" Luffy announced as the alliance cheered.

"You heard the man. Move out!" David commanded.

"Heh… He really has grown into quite the commander, hasn't he?" Jexi asked.

At this same time, the battles between Inuaraishi and Rinkah vs Jack, and Nekomamushi vs Perospero had hit a halt.

"Dragons always end up bring storm clouds. Sorry, mutt. But that was the last moon you will see." Jack said. "If either of you had landed one more good hit on me, I'd be unable to stand. Fortunately I'm wary of the Warlord's transformations by now, and I'll make sure you can't do anymore to me."

At that same time, Perospero was taking Nekomamushi through the wringer.

"Don't go blaming the moon for your loss. You didn't have bad luck…I just have overwhelming good luck." Perospero said.

"No, Nekomamushi!" Carrot said.

"His Sulong wore off, and Perospero destroyed Vegeta's artificial moon." BA Petra said.

"Come on…" Ace hoped.

Back on the roof, both Jexi and Luffy stared at Kaido.

"How many more chances do you two think you even have?" Kaido asked.

"As long as we're still alive…we have infinite chances!" Jexi said as the three clashed, causing the clouds to part as the moon was shown.

Back to the previously mentioned fights, the enemies looked up in shock as the moon was shown. It wasn't long that in that one instant, both Mink Kings had a chance.

"Don't say a word…" Inuarashi said.

"Yeah… Because now…" Rinkah said as she was about to hit her next Flame Ascension. "You're in for a world of pain!"

"We'll finish this now." Inuarashi said. "Oden…One Sword Style…"

"HRAAAAH!" Rinkah yelled, her blue flames being replaced now by vibrant purple flames of all colors.

Amethyst Flare Warlord

Rinkah

(Cue - TEQ Transforming Future Trunks Theme - DBZ Dokkan Battle)

"Now, Rinkah! Together!" Inuariashi said in Sulong form.

"Right! Here's the set-up!" Rinkah yelled, forming a club out of pure flames and rushing at Jack. "CRASH!"

She smashed her club into Jack hard in an upward swing, sending Jack's body upward.

"UPPER!" Rinkah yelled as she shot up with another swing, sending Jack sky high as Rinkah flew up, club out of her hands as she was charging a ranged attack with her flames.

"YOU'RE AS GOOD AS DUST AND ASH!" Rinkah yelled as she spread her arms wide, then shot them forward.

Final Heat Crash/ファイナルヒートクラッシュ

"FINAL HEAT CRASH!" Rinkah called as she fired the beam at Jack, while Inuarashi leaped up to match the attack.

"Canine Cleaver!" he called out as his sword leg pierced through the mammoth's body, destroying his belt and leaving a large wound as he burst into flames from Rinkahs blast.

Jack came crashing down after that as he lay there defeated.

Jack the Drought: Defeated

Winners: Rinkah and Inuarashi

At the exact same time, Nekomamushi was ready to take his shot at vengeance too.

"Hey… you were sayin who had all the luck?" he said.

"No… impossible!" Perospero cried in fear.

"This ones for Pedro! Oden One Sword Style…Feline Frenzy!" Nekomamushi said slashing at Perospero as the man fell over in defeat.

"Pedro…you can finally rest." Ace sighed in happiness.

Perospero, eldest son of the Charlotte Family: Defeated

Winners: Nekomamushi and allies

"Hah. That was nothin'." Rinkah smirked, dusting her hands from her attack. "Now come on, we got fires that need to be put out, and absorbed. I'm gonna need all I can get to help with the rest of the fights, maybe even Kaido too."

"You have so much in reserve. Which is more than I can say for myself." Inuaraishi smiled while huffing. "Go and absorb as much energy as you can. I'll be fine."

"You rest after that fight. You deserve it, bud." Rinkah smiled, absorbing the flames around them and going to absorb more.

Back with Yamato, Momonosuke and those that came with the latter, they flew off the island and came near it, to see that the foundation itself was beginning to crumble.

"Oh dear… this isn't good!" Double D said. "The entire island is set to collapse!"

"That's the least of our worries. The weapons storage is located in the basement of the island. And with all this fire…" Yamato said.

"Onigashima is basically a giant flying Bomb!" Ajna said.

"The damage Kaido's taken is in no way small by now. His powers are weakening. If he falls and this island crashes into the Flower Capital with all that firepower underneath it, the destruction will be catastrophic." Yamato said.

"Well…we got a mission then. We gotta somehow get rid of the explosives!" Eddy said.

"Yes. I can freeze them over. But while we do that…Momonosuke…you must be the one to stop the island." Yamato said.

"I see…I see…WHAT?!" Momonosuke said in shock.
