"I have to say, I wasn't expecting you to go feral like that." Yang said as they were walking.
"What are you talking about? I'm always feral when I go Zinogre." Ruby said.
"Yeah, but you usually have it under control." Summer pointed out. "I think that's the first time we've ever seen you lose yourself to it."
"Definitely a sweet way to lose herself." Grif said. "I mean, the kid got himself eaten, what would you do if that happened?"
"Good point." Summer nodded.
"There was only one other time I've seen one of my friends go feral..." Weiss glanced over at Blake.
"I can't remember if I told you this, but I've gone feral twice." Blake said. "Once was when I was eaten alive again at ZDR. The other was when I had enough of the SA-X."
Weiss frowned. "Yeah, I remember that moment all too well..."
"Definitely a side I personally don't want to see again." Yang admitted.
"In any case, it is in the past now." Rosalina said. "Frightening as it was, we shouldn't dwell on it."
"She's right. What's done is done... and hey, we don't have to worry about that dumb ol' snake anymore." Raven said as Weiss and Blake smiled as they both ruffled up a still proud Oran's hair.
"Doesn't someone owe him an apology?" Daisy wondered, glancing over at Dark Pit who stiffened at the thought.
"Um..." Dark Pit looked at Oran. "Kid, I have one thing to say to you. I... I, uh... You're pretty good with that spear."
"Might as well take it, that's the best apology you're ever gonna get out of ol' Pittoo." Pit chuckled.
Dark Pit shot Pit a glare before rolling his eyes. "Whatever."
Someone doesn't want to swallow his pride. Gloria thought.
Oran looked over at Dark Pit with a tilt of the head before shrugging it off, then they would see a tower up ahead, and would see a clock on top of it. "What in the…?" Jaune wondered.
"Soooo, I guess this is a clock tower?" Yang asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine." Ruby shrugged.
"Come on, let's go take a look!" Nora said, eagerly walking ahead with Ibuki right behind her as everyone else walked inside the tower.
World 7-4: Tick Tock!
BGM: DS Tick Tock Clock (Mario Kart 8)
Once they walked in, they would see gears spinning around and other such devices working in the clock itself. "Okay, this is pretty neat." Nyx said.
"Yup." Xena agreed as they looked around as they hopped onto the first set of gears where they hopped between the gears over a gap. They would see down below that at the bottom of the clock tower was a floor of spikes at the bottom.
"Ooookay, it's a deadly clock tower. What are the odds? Oh wait…" Grif shook his head.
"Well, it is World Seven." Ibuki pointed out.
"Yeah, should've seen that coming." He mumbled as they hopped between gears as a few Bob-ombs were laying around, and saw a breakable wall at the end. Mario picked one up and threw it where it exploded a second later, where Daisy and Nora did the same, though the latter proceeded to use a Bob-omb as a golf ball and struck a Grimm Morty Mole that was too close to it.
"Hole in one~!" Nora smiled.
"Eh, considering it took three hits, I'd say it was a birdie." Laxus said.
"I was thinking "par"." Ren said.
Nora sweatdropped. "Party poopers…" She mumbled as they walked inside, climbing their way through as they took out another Grimm Morty Mole as they found a pole and they proceeded to climb up, where they would see a red clock hand moving around on the ground. All of them looked at each other as they proceeded to move around it, only jumping over when they saw it was getting too close as they would then climb up a ladder to get to higher ground.
"I don't know why, but I have a feeling that the clock hand is too hot." Simmons said, then noticed Grif sizzling. "..Oh."
"What gave you that idea?" He grumbled as Sarge was behind him, attempting to roast a marshmallow near him.
"Hmm…" Sarge pressed his fingers on it. "Only lukewarm! I need my marshmallow to melt, dammit!"
"I can heat it up for ya." Lea offered.
"No thanks, I prefer mine roasting on an open Grif fire."
"Permission to speak freely, sir?" Grif spoke up. "Fuck you."
"Love you too, Grif!" Sarge chuckled as they walked off, proceeding to walk over moving platforms as Tail Grimm Bob-ombs started to fly down on top of them.
"Oh, that's just great!" Jaune groaned as they proceeded to shoot them in the sky while being mindful of the shrapnel that shot past them as they proceeded to jump between platforms while waiting for a few pendulums to swing from side to side.
Once they got past them, they jumped on a few more gears where a few Tailed Grimm Bob-ombs descended toward them, only they were quickly taken care of when Mario and Nora hammered them away where they exploded harmlessly on a few walls, then they hopped up on some moving platforms where Byleth jumped over and snagged the flagpole.
"Got it!" She smiled as she hopped down and waited for the others as they found a door and walked out.
End BGM
"That was kind of unique, if I'm being honest." Cloud said.
"Well, hey, on the bright side, it kept us on our toes." Yuffie pointed out with Carmen nodding in agreement, then they walked off to find wooden platforms.
"Something feels off…" Ruby said.
"You too?" Blake wondered as they got closer, and then they would see Grinders ready to cut through the platforms.
"Oh look, Grinders." Weiss said before her eyes widened. "GRINDERS?!"
"I'm imagining the bottomless pits are something horrific, so let's book it!" Gloria said.
"Agreed!" Ibuki nodded.
"Hold on to me, okay?" Summer asked as Oran nodded with a trusting smile.
World 7-5: Grinding For Wood
BGM: Athletic (Super Mario 3D Land)
The heroes quickly ran across the platforms where the Grinders activated as they proceeded to cut through the platforms where said platforms would fall into several spike pits below, though the platforms would cover said spike pits in case anyone wanted to take the scenic route.
As they moved along, they would see a few Grimm Goombas charging at them, only for a few Grinders to activate and cut right through them. One Grimm Goomba was smart enough to wait for it and laughed at the idea of the Grinder going through a straight line, which caused the Grinder to stop before going off the edge, hopped to make an angle and proceeded to cut through the mocking Grimm as it went off the edge right after.
"Huh, so taunt to get bodied applies to Grinders. Neat!" Ibuki said, texting Chiaki. "Hey guess what? Grinders can turn around and go after you if you taunt them. How morbidly cool is that!"
Message failed to send
"Eh? Oh come on, don't tell Ibuki we're in a dead zone…" She grumbled as she put her phone away as they jumped across some platforms that were doomed to be cut off by Grinders as they made it to a larger wooden platform, only to get cut by Grinders as they were busy trying to take everyone down, Grimm included as one Grimm Tailed Goomba was unlucky enough to get its tail cut off by a Grinder, and then another came in to finish the job.
The rest of them quickly hurried along until they got to a moving wooden platform as they moved toward the end, however the platform would slowly get cut away by stationary Grinders where Rosalina proceeded to teleport them to the other side where it was getting increasingly difficult to hold everyone in one tiny platform, then they climbed up some steps that were getting cut down by Grinders as Mario long jumped and snagged the flagpole.
"Got it!" Mario smiled, sliding down and hopping off.
End BGM
Ibuki decided to call Chiaki. "If texting her won't work, then calling her is the way to go."
"Hey, it's Chiaki! Can't come to the phone right now, I'm either on a date with my boy or I'm in the middle of an online match… or i'm taking a long nap. I'll get back to you as soon as I can!"
Ibuki looked at her phone in concern. "Okay… normally you have to wait several seconds before you get to voicemail."
"How many rings did you get?" Ruby asked.
"Nothing!"
"You too?" Daisy asked. "I tried calling Luigi earlier after we took care of that Grimm yet I went straight to voicemail too."
"That's concerning…" Mario said.
"Ah… let's not worry about it. We're probably in a dead zone and those two are perfectly fine! …She hopes."
"Yeah… Here's hoping." Daisy nodded as they walked ahead where they would spot airships up above, but they would see them sporting different colors.
"Wait a second…" Umber pulled out binoculars and took a closer look. "Those are Team Yell's airships!"
"Really, they get airships?" Weiss raised an eyebrow. "Knowing them, I thought they'd get Clown Cars while Marnie and Piers had their own personalized airships."
"They hated the designs so they built their own… I have to say, they're pretty good with craftsmanship, though I've a feeling Kamek made them prettier." Umber said.
"You think Team Yell is up there?" Gloria wondered.
"Either that or the Grimm got involved and took 'em for joyrides." Umber said. "...And I say it's time we retook them. Anyone see a cannon?"
"There's a few of them nearby." Raven said, pointing to several cannons.
"Perfect. Let's retake these." Umber smirked.
World 7-Airship: Turn These Ships Around!
BGM: Marnie's Theme - Pokemon Sword/Shield (FamilyJules)
The group landed on one of the ships, where they would see several Grimm Rocky Wrenches, dressed up in Team Yell colors, looked at them in surprise. "Sorry, but we're taking these ships over!" Umber said as they proceeded to take out the Rocky Wrenches as Grimm Magikoopas, also dressed in Team Yell colors, were quickly disposed of when Ruby used her Silver Eyes on them.
"I did not know Grimm had a sense for fashion…" Yang said.
"Apparently these do!" Tai said as Gloria opened up a door to find a Grimm Koopa trying on Team Yell face paint, as it turned around and looked at Gloria with a blank expression, before it pulled out a sign.
"Uh… I can explain."
Gloria proceeded to shove her lead pipe into its face before going into her Beedrill form and impaling it with her lances as it disappeared shortly after. "Ye have no right dressin' up like that, lad!" She said as she turned around and walked out where several Grimm Paragoombas were knocked out of the sky and fell to the ground below, disappearing before they hit said ground.
One Grimm Rocky Wrench reached into a manhole and pulled out a Bob-omb that was colored as a Pokeball and threw it, where it started to explode before Umber kicked it back and it exploded on the Rocky Wrench to eliminate it.
Once the first airship was cleared, they would go to the next one while Umber went over to the cockpit and pressed the "Autopilot: Return to Bowser's Castle" button as he ran to the other airship and jumped off where Xena telekinetically caught him and they turned around to see Lea and Dorothea burning alive several Grimm Team Yellified Lakitus and Spinies while Ibuki walked into a room where she saw a few Grimm Monty Moles messing around with a guitar.
"Hey! Those are Piers-chan's spare guitars!" She said, strumming her guitar as electricity shot out and struck the Monty Moles to get rid of them. She would then snag the guitar and neatly placed it on its rack. "There we go~!" She smiled as she walked out with a hum and then once the airship was cleared, Umber hit the autopilot as it turned around while Umber ran to the last airship with the others where they proceeded to destroy the Grimm on the ship while Ruby and Gloria ran into a room where they saw a Grimm Chargin' Chuck messing up a bedroom.
"...This wouldn't be-"
"It's Marnie's ship." Gloria gave the Chargin' Chuck a dark glare as she and Ruby rushed in and destroyed the Grimm, then they proceeded to spruce up the room together as they high fived each other and then they walked out to see Xion taking out a Grimm Sumo Bro that was also wearing Team Yell colors.
"Alright, let's take 'er down." Umber said, taking a hold of the wheel as the airship gently descended against a tower as they all hopped off, then Umber pressed the autopilot button and hopped off as the airship flew off.
End BGM
"There we go. They're all heading back to Bowser's Castle." Umber said.
"...You know, it just occurred to me that we could have used those ships to get to Bowser's Castle." Rosalina pointed out, causing Umber's eyes to widen and sweatdropped right after.
"Whoops." He said before shrugging it off. "Ah well, what can you do?"
"Alright, so we're at a tower, who are we fighting this time?" Yang asked as they waited for anyone to pop up, but no one came.
"Hmm… considering we're close to Bowser…" Umber walked forward. "You guys are gonna fight me."
"What? Why would we-"
"Hello? I was conscripted into Bowser's army? It was Junior's idea, honestly… apparently he was grateful that I helped him out during that Blorb crisis that he recommended me to the big guy and, out of gratitude for saving him from the Phazon, I'm now one of the commanders of the army, soooooo… yeah."
"Ooooh, that's right… I forgot about that." Ruby said. "...Wait, so did you help Bowser kidnap Peach?"
"He usually doesn't kidnap in the middle of the night, so I thought "Hey, I might as well go with you guys and wonder why he did such a thing"." He explained. "Of course, he's gonna be wondering why I've been siding with you since the start of this adventure… so, why not try to slow you guys down?"
"While it's admirable that you want to slow us down for Bowser's sake, there's just one problem." Pyrrha pointed out. "...A big problem, I should say."
Umber laughed. "True, but who said I was fighting alone?" He smiled as suddenly Xena walked forward.
"Sorry guys, he's just too cute to beat up." Xena said as she turned around to face them.
"What… Xena?!" Jade said in surprise. "We're fighting Umber and you?!"
"Who said you'd be fighting these two?" Yagami came out of Xena. "You're also fighting me!"
Nyx sighed. "You three are definitely made for each other." She said with a shake of a head and a chuckle.
"Relax, just think of this as a team sparring session. We won't go too hard on ya." Xena said.
"Unless if we feel like it." Yagami smirked.
"Well, might as well knock these knuckleheads down a peg." Iris said, readying her gunblade.
"Aaaand since I know there's a large majority of you." Umber called out Necrozma and Nebby, where they proceeded to fuse together and formed into Ultra Necrozma. "You get to fight Ultra Necrozma, isn't that fun?"
Yang sweatdropped. "Oh boy…"
"Alright, let's get this over with." Summer said with a roll of her eyes as everyone went to fight Ultra Necrozma, except for JIN, RWBY and even JNPR.
"I promise not to break your legs that much!" Nora winked.
Umber chuckled. "Oh, I'm aware. Now let's get this party started."
BGM: Tempest of Seasons (Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes)
Sky Burning Lunartics - Umber, Xena/Yagami, and Ultra Necrozma
"Leave this one to me." Laxus requested, approaching the Pokemon as Ultra Necrozma looked at him as electricity coursed through his body. "Let's dance."
Umber quickly split himself up with mirror clones as they proceeded to fire electric bolts of plasma lightning at them, forcing them all to dodge as Xena and Yagami proceeded to throw pyrokinetics at the clones, reflecting them at the group to try and burn them, but everyone went around to avoid the flames as Yang jumped in and slugged Xena, but she teleported out of the way as an electric arrow was shot at her, but Yagami telekinetically caught it and threw it back at Nyx, striking her in the leg and electrocuting her, causing her to wince while Ruby used a Rose Tornado to suck up Umber and then she launched up to slash him down, but he put up an electric force field to protect himself as Yagami teleported near her and threw her down to the ground.
Blake aimed Gambol Shroud at Yagami and fired a Plasma Beam at her, but she teleported out of the way and kicked Blake, but she used a clone to get out of the way as she slashed at Yagami with her claws, knocking her away, but then Yagami snapped her fingers as a bolt of lighting struck the faunus.
Nora jumped over to Umber with Ren as she fired lightning and he pushed him away with his wind magic, but he put up a reflective force field as the lightning was shot back and struck Jaune in the foot as he was throwing waves of water at the psychics.
As for Ultra Necrozma, he was in the air along with Laxus, both of them clashing into each other in their respective elements, both of them smirking as Laxus threw an uppercut while Ultra Necrozma used Prismatic Laser to knock the Dragon Slayer back, where he retaliated with a Roar.
Jade aimed at Xena and fired ice crystals at her from her Poltergust, but Xena teleported out of the way and picked her up in the air and threw her into Nyx while Umber set up mirrors and then fired lightning bolts with Yagami throwing in fire to hit JIN, but Pyrrha got in the way and manipulated the flames as she turned them around and hit them both, knocking the two back.
Weiss set up a few glyphs as ice crystals struck Xena in the back as she then lunged over and stabbed the psychic a few times before thrusting hard enough to send her flying, but then Xena teleported and then threw down waves of energy at the huntress, forcing Weiss to get out of the way but Xena teleported closer and then sweep kicked Weiss down before pulling out her slingshot and threw an explosive dust bomb at her to blast her down.
"Okay, so any ideas to knock them down?" Jaune asked.
"When they're split apart, it takes fifteen minutes for them to drain all their magic." Ruby pointed out.
"That's too long!" Jaune exclaimed. "Either we wait it out and get our butts kicked or we do something that knocks them out!"
"We'll think of something!" Yang said, throwing out a Hadoken at Yagami, which she telekinetically stopped and switched places with her, where Yang got hit by her own Hadoken. "Yagh!"
Ultra Necrozma unleashed Psycho Cut on Laxus, but he moved out of the way and threw out an Iron Fist onto his head, knocking him away as Laxus threw a Heaven's Halyard at him, striking him in the chest but Ultra Necrozma responded with another Prismatic Laser, however Laxus dodged and threw out a lightning bolt at him.
"Alright, never thought I'd use this against them, but we've got no choice!" Weiss said, immediately going into Fierce Diety mode as she launched herself at Xena, but she snapped her fingers as an energy field surrounded Weiss's head and electrocuted her head. "Nnngh!" She winced as she respondled with a Kacrackle Slash as Blake jumped in and aimed Gambol Shroud, firing out Kazammle Shots and struck Xena, but she teleported and grabbed Blake by the leg and threw her down, while narrowly avoiding a punch from Yang.
Iris slashed at Yagami, but Umber got in the way and blocked with the staff as he parried her and sweep kicked her, but Iris caught herself by her hands and swung back up, retaliating with a sweep slash of her own and knocked Umber away as she fired a point blank shot at Yagami, knocking her back as Iris leapt ahead and slashed her repeatedly, but Yagami held her sword in place and then swung her fist up, disarming her as her gunblade went flying in the air and stabbed the ground as Yagami kicked her in the gut and then flip kicked her, but Iris weaved her body, grabbing her leg and slamming her to the ground while Jade aimed and fired ice crystals at her, but Yagami teleported away.
Umber clapped his hands as a few clones appeared as they all fired electric bolts from their eyes, striking Ruby and Yang as Nora had been launched up in the air by Ren as she fired a few grenade shots at Umber, where the grenades hit the ground and exploded, covering him in smoke as he looked around where Yang ran in and slugged him in the gut with a shoryuken to knock him up into the air.
Xena shifted her eyes while dodging Pyrrha's blades. "Babe!" She called out to him as she reached her hand out to him, but Jaune and Pyrrha both slashed her to knock her back and then Weiss appeared behind her and ice slashed her and then Nyx fired another electric arrow at her, hitting her in the gut. "Nnnngh!" She grunted.
Yagami clapped her hands together, creating a massive ball of psychic energy and threw it down at the ground, where it exploded and made a massive shockwave that knocked them to the ground as she teleported around, placing fireballs around them and then snapped her fingers as the fireballs struck them all as she had a playful smirk on her face as she casually weaved her head to the side as a lightning bolt zipped past her.
Xena and Umber recovered, the latter pulling out two Oran Berries and handed his girlfriend one, both of them feeling a little bit rejuvenated as Xena teleported to Ruby and picked her up, but Blake slashed her from the side as Xena would get slashed into Nyx, but she teleported away and then raised her hands up and threw down telekinetic bolts of lightning down where Nora did the same, both lightning bolts clashed as an electrical explosion covered them, where Nora felt herself getting powered up as she zipped through and slugged Xena hard in the gut with her hammer to send her flying as Nora zipped behind her and slugged her in the back to send her crashing to the ground.
A big bolt of lightning and a massive fireball crashed into each other as Laxus and Ultra Necrozma struggled to gain the upper hand, yet both were smirking as Laxus delivered a right and left hook and then a gut punch into Ultra Necrozma. The latter would respond by headbutting into him and tried to swipe at him with his wings, but Laxus moved out of the way and threw down a bolt of lightning at the Pokemon, as it let out a pained cry. "What's wrong, can't handle a little electricity?"
Yagami was knocked to the ground, holding on to her arm while chuckling. Dammit, we have little time left before we run out of magic and we're forced to recharge. Better make this count! She thought and telepathically communicated to Xena and Umber. "Think we can go all out?"
"We can try!" Xena said with Umber nodding as Umber quickly made mirror clones to surround the group as they all created mirrors as Xena and Yagami proceeded to launch fire and telekinetic shockwaves into the mirrors, sending them all over the place, however Nora had an idea and planted her hands on the ground and together with Ruby, who went Zinogre, they both held each other's hands as they both electrified the entire field, striking all three to stun them while getting rid of the clones as Weiss and Yang, in her Shin form flanked them as the two punched/slashed through the girls hard enough to knock them both down, then Nyx aimed and fired an arrow, which a net had burst out and wrapped around the twins to lock them in place.
"Targets secure." Nyx chuckled as Umber turned to the girls as his eyes widened as he heard a slam behind him as he turned to Ultra Necrozma down on the ground and Laxus hopped off of him while dusting off his hands.
Umber sweatdropped as he saw everyone else surrounding him. "Alright, alright… I surrender." He said with a chuckle.
"Oh no, we're not done with you yet!" Nora said as she zipped over to him.
"Wait, what?!" Umber said in a panic, bracing for the worst as he closed his eyes.
"Boop~!"
"Wha…?" Umber opened his eyes to see Nora playfully booping him on the nose.
"Okay, now we win~" She smiled in a sing songy voice.
End BGM
Umber sighed with relief. "Nora, sometimes I wonder if the heart attacks you give are even worth it."
"Hey, consider that me looking out for ya by getting your blood pumping." She winked.
Ren sweatdropped. "I don't think that counts…"
"Sooo, it was just Laxus that defeated Ultra Necrozma? What were the rest doing?"
"Oh, we hung back since we thought it'd be overkill." Ibuki said.
Umber chuckled. "Fair enough." he said as Nyx pulled the ropes off of the girls and shook her head.
"Couldn't resist, huh?"
"Not really." Xena sheepishly said as Yagami went back inside of her.
"Phew, I've been meaning to cut loose for a while."
"Alright, we done here?" Yang asked with a laugh.
"Yeah, I think we are." Umber nodded.
"Good, now let's go!" Ruby said as they all took off.
Meanwhile…
"The red sky is very ominous…" Chiaki said as she and Luigi walked around after taking out some Grimm along the way.
"I'll say." Luigi nodded.
"My my my, I could've sworn I felt some pests wandering into my domain!" A voice said as the duo immediately got into fighting stances and saw Grimm Ruby appearing before them.
Luigi's eyes widened. "You!"
"Hi Luigi, it's been a while~!" Grimm Ruby said in a creepy cheerful way. "Who's the bitch? Can't say I've seen her around before."
"That's none of your concern." Chiaki said. "You must be the doppelganger who's making Ruby's life miserable."
"Oho! So you've heard of me! Can't say I'm surprised, I'm definitely miss popular!"
"I wouldn't go that far." Chiaki said. "Luigi, get us out of here. Now we know who's in charge around here."
With a nod, Luigi pulled out Hoopa's Pokeball and tried to press the button to enlarge it, but felt nothing. "Huh?" He looked down and saw it was sealed up tight. "Yipe! My Pokeballs are sealed up tight!"
"What?!" Chiaki said in surprise.
"Hahahaha! You don't think I forgot about your dumbass Pokemon? That's adorable!"
A deep growl escaped Chiaki's lips. "Luigi, go back to the Warp Pipe. I have a feeling this world seals up the easy way out. Once you're at the other side, get Hoopa and extract me out of here."
"What about you?"
"I'm going to give her a taste of what happens when you mess with a gamer."
"Gam-HAHAHAHAHA! Gamer?! You seriously think those pathetic toys will do anything to me? How pathetic!" She laughed as Luigi ran off.
"Good luck." He said to her as he ran off.
Chiaki rolled her shoulders, immediately going into her screens. "I wouldn't underestimate the power of gamers, we're remarkably perceptive."
Grimm Ruby rolled her eyes. "Oh really now… if you think you can actually hurt me with those pathetic games, then go on. Give me your best shot, in fact, I'll let you take the first hit!"
Chiaki glowed as her hair turned into Octoling tentacles, two of them going down the sides of her head as her eyes turned Octoling-like as she summoned two Dualies. "You'll regret that. Game on!"
BGM: L'Impeto Oscuro (Kingdom Hearts III ReMind)
Chiaki swiftly shot at Grimm Ruby, who simply shielded herself with a Grimm shield as Grimm Ruby proceeded to fire dark lasers at Chiaki, where she shot the ground and hid inside the ink. "Hmm?" Grimm Ruby chuckled in amusement as she sprouted up grimm tentacles from the ground to try and impale her, but then Chiaki appeared from the side and threw a Suction Bomb before hiding back into the ink, where it exploded right after.
"Mmmph!" Grimm Ruby winced. "You think this colorful ink will be enough!" She mocked as she stepped onto the ink, where it immediately turned into Grimm Liquid, where she heard something behind her. She smirked and turned around to shoot at Chiaki, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Up above, Chiaki was charging up the Booyah Bomb as she threw it down at Grimm Ruby. "Veemo!" She exclaimed as Grimm Ruby turned around as she got struck by the Booyah Bomb, making her cry out in pain as Chiaki landed, switching to the Hydra Splatling and peppered her with ink bullets that made Grimm Ruby back up with a snarl as she planted her hand on the ground as Grimm spikes rose up toward Chiaki, forcing her to abandon the Splatling and jumped to the side, proceeding to swing to an Inkbrush and jumped in, swinging the Inkbrush around as Grimm Ruby grabbed it with a smirk, but Chiaki smirked back, planting down a Killer Wail where it activated and launched Grimm Ruby away.
"Rrrgh!" Grimm Ruby snarled as she proceeded to disappear into the ground, reappearing near Chiaki from the side and slashed her away, sending Chiaki back a few feet as Grimm Ruby jumped in and slashed down with her scythe, but Chiaki rolled out of the way as she threw down an Ink Bomb as it exploded near her as Chiaki jumped into some ink before she could get hit as Grimm Ruby tried to fire Grimm electricity into the ink to try and electrocute Chiaki, where she launched high into the air behind her as Grimm Ruby turned around to attack, but she hit nothing as she looked up to see Chiaki coming down while holding on to an Inkstrike while covering herself with ink as she struck the ground for an Inkstrike/Splashdown hybrid attack.
"Gyagh!" Grimm Ruby was knocked back as Chiaki took a step back and went back into her screen where she would then don Genji's armor and sword as she jumped over and threw shurikens at her, but Grimm Ruby rolled out of the way and shot small lasers at her, but to her surprise, Chiaki deflected these with her sword. Grimm Ruby let out a growl and lunged at the Ultimate Gamer as Chiaki did the same, both of them swinging their weapons as they clashed, both of them looking each other in the eye as they both slashed each other, until Chiaki parried Grimm Ruby and slashed her scythe off of her hand.
"Ryūjin no ken wo kurae!" Chiaki cried and cut through her, slashing off her entire arm.
"AAAAAAGH!" She cried, falling on both knees and held on to her shoulder as black blood poured out as Chiaki turned around, her sword at the ready.
"Anata no ugoki." (Your move.)
"Hmhmhmhm… hahaha… HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Grimm Ruby laughed. "Is that the best you can do!" She said as she let out a loud pained cry and regrew the limb that she lost.
Chiaki's eyes widened in shock. "Nani!?" What's this girl's deal… if she even IS one!
End BGM
"Chiaki!" Luigi came running in a panic.
"Luigi, what's wrong?"
"It's horrible! The Warp Pipe has been sealed shut! We're trapped in here!"
"WHAT?!" Chiaki yelled.
"Hahahaha! Uh oh~! It looks like you're trapped in here with me~!" Grimm Ruby taunted.
Chiaki closed her eyes in frustration, taking a deep breath. "Kuso ̄ …" (Darn it…) She mumbled under her breath as she immediately went out of her Genji attire. "Hold her off for me, alright? I need to make a call."
"Got it." Luigi nodded as he tagged her out as she went running.
Chiaki found a rock to hide behind as she immediately looked through her screen, finding what she was looking for.
Call Ally?
"Yes." She selected the yes button.
Calling Ally
Meanwhile, in Chiaki's room…
A small robot that had a circular body with a head attached to it rolled around the room, seeming to guard the room… until a phone call alerted him. He let out a few upbeat chirps and answered.
"Can you hear me? Please tell me that you can hear me."
A few excited chirps answered.
"Oh good. Okay, so I know you like to guard my room, but can you do me a huge favor and go to the Koopa Kingdom? I have a feeling Ibuki and the others are already there."
A few quizzical chirps.
"I'll be fine, I just got caught up in something and… I'm honestly not sure if I'll make it, but i'll try. Go to where Ibuki is at and tell her that we need backup on the double!"
A few chirps beeped in confirmation, followed by a few saddened chirps.
"I'll be okay… I know they'll come." Chiaki said calmly to the robot, to which seemed to relax it a bit.
The robot beeped again, confirming that he'll do it.
"Okay, good. Now go and tell the others we desperately need help. Good luck, BB-8!"
BB-8 turned to Chiaki's window before turning his head at the door. He proceeded to turn around and reached over to the doorknob, locking the door so no bad guy could come in and mess up the room. He turned around and climbed up with his claw hands and then opened up the window, hopping out the window and quickly put the pedal to the mettle straight for Bowser's Kingdom, opening up a map of Remnant to make sure he was going the right way.
Back in the Grimm World…
Grimm Ruby pinned Luigi to a rock, holding Luigi's hammer as she traced her hand on it where a Grimmified blade appeared on the mallet and swung it down, but Luigi caught the handle and desperately fought as the blade slowly inched to Luigi's chest. Grimm Ruby smirked sadistically. "I wonder what Mario would think that he's down a brother… I wonder what the Mushroom Kingdom would think that the loser plumber that no one cares about would die a tragic death! They'd probably not even care and go about their day as if nothing happened!"
"Rrrgh!" Luigi grunted as he felt the blade press against his chest as he tried to fight it off.
"Goodbye, Luigi!" She said sadistically, until something was thrown right into her right shoulder. "Rrrgh!" She grunted as she looked up to see a hammer floating in midair before it came back and made sure to smack her in the face as she turned around to see Chiaki grabbing the hammer while also summoning a circular shield.
A star spangled circular shield to be exact!

"PFFFT! What?! Are you serious! What good is a tiny ass hammer with a stupid looking shield ever going to do to me?" She taunted as Chiaki swung Mjolnir around as she ran straight for Grimm Ruby, the latter running toward her as well, as Chiaki swung Mjolnir up, the weapon uppercutting her to knock Grimm Ruby in the air as she threw the shield into her face right after.
The shield bounced back as Chiaki swung Mjolnir and hit the shield, bouncing it back to Grimm Ruby, where she deflected it as Chiaki pulled back her arm and threw Mjolnir into the shield.
CLANG!
"Gah!" Grimm Ruby yelped as she stumbled as Luigi jumped up and caught the shield, using his Thunder Hand to convert his electricity into the shield and threw it as an electrical frisbee while Chiaki raised the hammer up as lightning came down and struck Grimm Ruby at the same time as the shield hit her, knocking her to the ground. Grimm Ruby punched the ground in frustration, before giving them both a devilish smirk as Chiaki and Luigi readied themselves.
"Get ready, Luigi… she's gonna be doing something nasty!" Chiaki said as Luigi nodded, both of them preparing for what she was about to do.
…And that's when the Grimm tentacles launched out of the ground from underneath the both of them.
I'm back! Opted for a Chromebook instead that came today. Pretty fast, if I say so myself. Anywho, I did have to laugh at the idea when Yoshi said to me "I want Umber to fight them at one of the worlds." and I was like "Well, shoot, might as well through in his girlfriends in the fight too! That's hilarious!" It worked out though.
Ibuki: Ooooh, hope Chiaki-chan's okay...
Ooooh, I'm sure she'll be fine.
