A Calamity In Time
Chapter 8: Fighting With Music
Date: March 7th, 2021
Authors Notes: Y`all ready for yet another chapter? If not please come back when you are! My mind has much of Yugioh Arc-V, Tom and Jerry new movie, Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring, and the Charlie and The Chocolate Factory modern movie all fresh in head so you can expect some new elements! Lets rock n roll as this chapter is pretty focused on music based combat with my alternate self using rock music in the hinted at Musical Empire! Okay, go time, enjoy!
So about a week ago, we got a threat letter addressed to myself and Brayden, demanding we come with the best musical talent on the team to the Musical Empire on what is now today in their new capital New Berlin, which was conquered by them alongside the rest of the Confederation States of Peacetopia (a loose union between nations that formed the powerful nation`s ultimate territorial governance formed after what went down with time) recently in a move unexpected by anyone. Now, we are here, having helped train the ninja(we called them to come with us from Ninjago) and Supernoobs to be better with music in order to come with us, the other members of Raging Rockstars, Blaze, and comedy band Fluffy Afro and The Wacky Clowns, the band formed by the 5 quirkiest members of the overall team! The remainder of the team all went off on various missions including to the Earth in which Wonka bars are popular worldwide and the whole Oompa Loompas existing thing! The leader of the Musical Empire says: "Welcome my citizens and our guests who are poised to be defeated mercilessly with the art form they love so much! Today is a treat as we have 2 of the more popular rock bands in the multiverse alongside others who have proven to be an obstacle in the way of darkness! Our god Gorgoran learned from the SDL`s reign that inspires us all and other failed projects by other evil beings by making sure when this empire was created that we would specialize in tormenting through all forms of music possible! To start things off, Warrior Adam of the Raging Rockstars will be facing off against our very own rock music general Julian in a battle of Duel Monsters! For you see, we have learned many ways of other societies such as the wonders of that game!" A loud audience cheer is heard as I sigh a bit but enter the duel arena that just appeared before me with a calm expression.
My opponent who looks very evil comes up too and soon enough, the duel begins with Julian`s turn: "I draw and summon Dark Punk Soldier in attack mode! I set 2 cards that will destroy you soon enough and end my turn here!" My demeanor changes: "I draw! As a learner, I learn many things in life! Julian here will be a tough opponent for sure so I wont hold anything! Listen up audience, its time for some action! No one has ever seen me do what I am about to do! I set the Pendulum Scale with scale 2 Industrial Dragon and scale 10 Werewolf of Doom Metal! I can summon monsters with levels between 3 and 9 all at once! The pendulum swings as a reflection of my growth as a person! My monsters are ready to burst forth with their energy! Come forth the tuner monster Hardcore Wolf and Trap Tracking Hard Rocker! Rocker`s special ability activates, meaning all trap cards are negated the turn he is summoned! Thats not all!" I smile: "Everybody, I dont have to stick with one summoning method in a turn, let me show you some excitement! I tune my 2 monsters! Now I summon level 10 Death Metal Warlock! Thats not all, Hardcore Wolf when used to summon a music themed synchro monster comes back from my graveyard for another howl! Thats not all for I activate a classic: Monster Reborn to bring back my Rocker! They may not have the same level right now but they will! Hardcore Wolf`s level can once per turn increase based on the number of other music monsters I control, that means she is level 6! I also bring forth the last card in my turn, Copycat to copy my Rocker! Now I overlay Hardcore Wolf, Trap Tracking Hard Rocker, and Copycat in order to build the overlay network, I Xyz summon Power Metal Calamity Pegasus! I use Pegasus`s ability by using one overlay unit to deal you 800 points of damage, the downside is Pegasus cant attack this turn as a result. Now Death Metal Warlock, attack that soldier with Mystical Screams!"
The opposing monster is destroyed: "I underestimated you, youre good. Now my soldier`s special ability activates as your friends are also competing against generals and troops of this great empire now! This allows me to summon from my deck with no penalty one of my strongest monsters, General Of Corrupted Thrash Metal, Yosu! When my general is summoned, I am able to add any card I want from my deck to my hand! I lost 2300 lifepoints, I cant wait to wipe that smile off your face by taking yours to zero and with it, your very soul! That Fusion Dimension isnt the only place with duelists who seal souls into cards! The cards I used were created for me by the very empire itself!" "Youre not the only one with specially made cards, my deck is full of them, my scientist friend Dominic almost never lets me down! I activate the Pendulum ability of Industrial Dragon, allowing me to take a action field spell from my deck and play it: I select the action field, Wolf`s Den! Now that I have, my new duel disk built with advanced technology generates the field and now this duel is an action duel! Action cards are hidden around the field and most are helpful but some are traps, you can move freely to get one at any time but be careful! I use the ability of my other Pendulum monster, allowing me to draw 2 cards which I now set! Turn end." "Its time for you to lose everything, draw! I summon Revenge Warrior and activate the trap Hidden Beast so it can become a level 8 trap monster with 2500 attack points! Now my ace monster, destroy that Pegasus!" "Nope, Im not letting you for I pulled the action spell, Evade, meaning your attack did nothing to my 2800 attack point winged friend! I have over the past week looked around this field so I know where all the action cards are, any advantage to fight off the likes of you is worth it as long as its legit!"
"Whatever. By destroying my Hidden Beast, its attack points are added to my warrior, leading to a total attack of 4500 plus I activate Megamorph to double its attack points to 9000! My hand still has 3 cards! I attack your Pegasus now: say goodbye to everything you love! I see you confused, well, Im about to seal the deal as I activate Battle Blocker from my hand and chain it with Double or Nothing. I can attack again with twice the torment! Destroy Adam! Ruthless Wrath! You lose!" "I still have my lifepoints and cards on the field, you have triggered my Half Unbreak trap, cutting the damage I would take and protecting my Pegasus from destruction!" "NO! How dare you defy me, no mercy for you at all! I place my remaining card face down! I didnt get to attack with Yosu! Ugh, Megamorph now cuts my monster`s attack in half as such returns to how it was, a mere 2000 so 1000. Just go you annoyance!" Field assessment: Julian, 6700 life points, 2 facedowns, Megamorph, Revenge Warrior(Atk: 1000, Def: 2200), Yosu(Atk: 3500, Def: 2900). Me: 1 face down, my Pegasus, the Pendulum cards, and Death Metal Warlock(Atk: 3800, Def: 2300).
"Youre no fun, just raging. I draw a card! I activate my other facedown Call of The Haunted to bring back Copycat which was sent away by being used up in overlay unit form. Copycat, show everyone how awesome we are as a team! Copy Yosu! Now the strength, defense, and abilities of Yosu can be used by me as well including that nifty trick to add a card of my choice to my hand! I now summon Metalcore Fusion Master for another move: fusing him through his special ability with Copycat in the form of Yosu! Light and dark collide peacefully to create a new power! I fusion summon Punk Rock Lord Casey! 4000 attack points are a lot! When my lifepoints are lower than my opponents, Casey can disable any number of cards abilities based on the difference of our lifepoints divided by 1000! The difference is 4900 so because its not 5000, I can only disable 4 cards which is okay because I disable your monsters and facedowns! I activate another ability of Pegasus, using an overlay unit to allow any monster on my field to attack twice, I choose Casey! Now Casey, destroy both of our opponent`s monsters with Power Shout and thats not all for I can still activate the lifepoint damage ability of Pegasus by using up their last overlay unit! *Some seconds pass and I block Julian from getting any action cards by getting all of the ones I know arent traps in close proximity as the duel progressed* Now you only have 2400 lifepoints, its very interesting how close we are now and such a relief theres no outside interference. However, your time is short as I attack you directly with Death Metal Warlock, Mystical Scream!" "Aaaaaaaaaaa!" Julian is knocked back with his lifepoint count dropping to 0.
He gets up with a different expression: "Mwahahaha! I am the best in the rock department in my empire but the rock department is the weakest. You fool! Played right into our hands, your friends have all lost to their opponents in musical battles and the penalty is that you lose too, thats how we do it here. Enjoy rotting in music prison!" A evil horse with a rider charged at me: "I wont let you take me alive! Mind crush! What?! That didnt work?! Okay then, duel disk away, sword time! Passion Uppercut! Unfazed? Oh no.." I am then dragged away via rope, barely managing to put my sword back on my person, I feel the friction all the way to the prison thing where I am locked up with everyone who I came with today. Lloyd speaks: "We need a plan, I hear they are going to sacrifice us and other prisoners to some beast soon." Shope exclaims: "This is not happening! First a mashed potato monster then Count Venamous then being transported into a video game then the Creators survive and now THIS!" Kevin adds: "I agree with girl! SOMEBODY LET US OUT OF HERE!" A unknown individual speaks: "Quiet down or else they will punish you. When a prisoner causes a disruption, the guards take away all their stuff and torture them, the reason you all have your stuff still is to add more mental and emotional torment. The last person to disrupt 5 times got thrown into a black hole as punishment, you will all be here with the rest of us till we are all sacrificed by being a tasty meal for DJ who happens to like music a lot ironically. I am Bruce, former judge of New Berlin and former leader of the quickly failed city wide resistance."
Fluffy Afro replies: "An alternate future version of me got us here and Im glad we know more now thanks to you or else I would have been farting rainbows and spewing nonsense all in panic. I just want to clown around and be silly without danger! *Makes a goofy sound*" "To tell you the truth, hope was restored when you all were locked up here given your achievements. I was separated from the woman of my dreams and I will do anything to be reunited with her. Dont bother on using magic either as that will tip off the guards and besides, these bars are practically magic resistant thanks to research on Ninjago." Brayden states: "We have some serious noisemakers, there is a time in which the number of noise makers makes it hard for any to be punished for being noisey. We must make as much noise as possible, I doubt these bars will be able to hold back all my power." "Are you sure? This is a complete gamble, they might punish everyone if this plan doesnt succeed." "We will be stuck here otherwise and I want to go home and have pizza but no, we are here having been lured here by a threat! Devoured by beast is not something I want on my death resume. Id rather swell up into a massive blueberry over a fate like that! Or maybe be transported into a TV and then be rescued only to have become tiny and needing to be stretched to a point of extremity. How I wish my duel disk had solid vision technology, good thing I had my duel gazer on just in case before that duel, reduced the prep time to start it.. I talk loud at times so I know I can be annoying!"
That settles that, we just make sure to convince other prisoners to bring on the noise.. I pull out my guitar and start strumming loudly, following by yelling along to the combined sound of many prisoners creating lots of noise! The vibrations are so intense they literally knock back the prison guards and as I spot, short circuit the security cameras! Brayden uses the opportunity to use his full power on the bars which put up a little resistance before total destruction! I get up, stop strumming, and launch Burn Wolf, now equipped with finished Axis Beyblade parts! I call: "Burn Wolf, attack mode! Wreck prison bars, knock back guards, and cause damage to this facility!" Pulling out my sword, I help in taking out prison bars just as the others do in their own unique ways. Random music plays for no reason and it is pretty distracting but I focus on the task at hand by kinda just vibing to it, allowing me to better focus on what we are doing. Soon enough, we are all on the run with the whole place trashed. The audience that had gathered earlier in shock watch as we all rush out, Bruce yells: "Viva la revolution! We are taking back our freedom starting right now! The German government is in exile and now that Im free, Im its judge again and on behalf of my country, I call upon the people to rise up! Germany must be restored, a great nation that started as a united Earth and over many many years, grew and advanced with the culture retaining some of that classic German culture all this time! Honor that legacy, push back the Musical Empire!" Julian, leading a whole literal army blocks our path says: "Not on our watch! I challenge you to a Beyblade battle, my whole army and I will all launch our beys and fight you Adam! With you the leader down, its hopeless!"
I launch Burn Wolf again: "Hahaha, looks like your database is outdated, Brayden is the leader of our team now! As you wish! Burn Wolf, use reverse rotation to turn things up a notch while also in attack mode!" Multiple enemy beys are defeated in the blink of an eye as an aura grows around me: "Is that the best you got? I will not lose here even if the odds shift in your favor! Burn Wolf, stamina mode quickly in order to Burning Paint Blast!" Many beys are defeated with that: "You exceed all that we thought you were again! Doesnt matter for Im going to crush you if you can fight off all the beys the Musical Empire army have that are not mine!" Several minutes later and I direct the others to keep going, promising to handle these jerks. Only a few beys remain in the way: "So looks like a matter of if has become a matter of when instead! You really need to up your game with beys next time if there is even going to be a next time for the Musical Empire! Burn Wolf, standard mode! Let me show you the raw power of Burn Wolf!" All but one of the remaining beys are still defeated: "I have trained much with Burn Wolf, striving to grow each and every day! Burn Wolf: defense mode!" "Hahaha defense mode? Pathetic! Darkness Raven! Dark move: Feathering Death!" Burn Wolf survives the attacks: "How is this possible?! Burn Wolf looks unharmed, just a little shaken! Fine, Dark Vibration Ring!" Using dark energy, Darkness Raven fires vibration ring shaped attacks right at my bey. It does nothing and I counter: "Defense mode tactic: center of gravity shift! Now titling like the Earth`s axis, Burn Wolf can more effectively defend and attack! Zig zag dodge!" "My raven will destroy your wolf with all the power we together possess! Advanced dark move: Hopeless Despair!"
15 minutes of back and forth occurs until I eventually gain the upper hand and defeat Julian and Darkness Raven. Burn Wolf sustained some pretty serious damage surprisingly while I got pretty hurt, leading to my capture unfortunately.. I am hauled off to the area at which the leader of the Musical Empire sits: "Well well well, looks like we got you after you defeated all of the best bladers we have. Now time for you to be tortured, I hear you like the idea of being mentally age regressed. Why dont I your new daddy teach you to stop being naughty mwahahaha!" "Im afraid not *gets free of the troops that grabbed me*, you think such a tactic that was used before will take me down? You must be mistaken and thinking illogically, you are the opposite of a good caregiver for the likes of me and also, whats there?! I see a flying UFO with googly eyes!" They look and sure enough, there really is a googly eyed UFO and I make a run for it. The Wacky Clowns have a megaphone with them and start being annoying goofballs! Banana Pants starts: "Uh oh, I am a banana person! Look at me, I cant be peeled! Do you want to eat me? Come here and try to eat me, I dare you!" I summon all my monsters from the Duel Monsters Spirit World to provide cover for me as I enjoy the show. Fluffy Afro is with them too apparently: "My hair catches on fire randomly, villains should stop trying to catch me! Im annoying anyway! Lalalala, I dont care what yoy dumb dumb Musical Empire leader are trying to say! `Boohoo, Im so offended by the clown not listening to me!` Oh look, fartworks!"
Fireworks that release stinky fart gas instead of what they are supposed to are sent out from the UFO, leading to a large radius of stinky area! Pickle Rick Not An Alien goes: "Haha stinky! What do you call an evil villain who is tricked by us? A lame joke! Hum noises hum noises! Weeeeeeee!" I get back into action knowing that it would be best to not watch the whole show, Julian is waiting for me: "I will not let you escape again! I challenge you to a music off! Can you keep up with my rock n roll? The one to get the other to stop playing music wins!" He goes first playing some Pop Rock: "Sunshine for me, despair for you, darkness will consume all! I want money, I want love so I can create more evil, I want power! Im a basic person who is really not made to be cool, like I care, Im here to scare! You are in the way of my leader`s plan to indoctornate as much as possible into his empire so our god can rule existence with us as his main troop. I wont allow this to continue, conquest and destruction yes! I am going to put you into your place! Darkness cannot be avoided, it spreads through the superiority complexes of gullible mortals! We will win, one way or another, the despair they will feel once you are gone forever will be fuel for us!" I retaliate with Industrial Metal: "Authoritarianism is never a good answer to anything, you are deluded, lost in a world created by others to trap you in that feels like a comfortable home to you! Bring it on, bring it on! I have more passion than you, positivity is always more powerful than negativity so long as it isnt toxic! Giving up is not really something in the dictionary called my personality! Throw what you want, I will keep fighting as long as I stay alive! Its sad really, you are a great blader and duelist and yet are using your skills to conquer and destroy, the basic no nos of both games! I can rock n roll more intensely than the sum of gravity and solar energy!"
"Somebody`s confident but if anyone`s winning, its me especially with my instrument and vocal chords now powered up with darkness! The thing that will swallow all and reign supreme with no opposition, it will leave you begging, begging for mercy but there will be none! I will find the dark lady of my dreams and prosecute you homosexuals in the same way any team of fighters who loses is punished here! I admit you caught me off guard but now its time for the lights out to turn out with you!" "You forget statistically, theres no 100% chance of victory for any light or dark forces out there! Maybe you should just bugger off or you will be shown the door by this big baby! I dont play around that much in serious situations, I am a balanced person and it is through that balance that I have found who I truly am! Wanna go home and tell my boyfriend how much I love him like I do every day! Youre homophobic and rash! This is the clash of 2 opposing minds, hearts, and spirits! Only the one who wants it more can win! I will keep going as long as I am conscious and breathing, whats the point of life when there arent any obstacles to overcome? Bowl of spaghetti, howl of a wolf, both desirable and amazing to me! You should have double checked your homework before facing me! Its incomplete and lack in complete detail! Did you know that a slope is mx+b? A fusion of logic and emotion is the right way to go thinking wise!" "Swallow your hope, thats what I want to do! Music is a means to an end of the reign of light and hope! You are so full of yourself, having fun helping others? Oh please, destroying others is much more entertaining!" "I believe youre wrong, you take your opinions too seriously, a factor that will bring yourself down eventually! Look around you, does the multiverse revolve around our opinions at the quantum level? Its mathematically impossible that it does for it was here before us! I have done my fair share of tormenting though at least mine didnt lead to death most of the time or even serious injury! Those that I actually did end the lives of in video games years ago have been revived by now and I made sure to apologize!" "Ha, kindness is weak! Just like you! You cant even take me on easily by yourself and yet Im the weakest general of the musical empire! Taste this riff!"
"I see no evidence to suggest I am weak! You silly willy! Try this heavy riff on for size, it is very sick and makes metalheads go crazy in mosh pits I bet! I represent all that you hate, dont I? Guess what, I have no plans on losing to you today!" Let me just skip to where we start getting exhausted and begin running out of ideas! "Youre still a fool, I will crush you! Gorganan is supreme, the very being who gave me and so many life! He is eternal unlike you! One day came back to our people to put us back on the path that we are meant to be on! Crush, destroy, death! Money money is what we seek in addition to being at the top with our god!" "Youve said that about 20 times at this point! Im running out of ideas too, I want to go on and on about how much I want to stop you right here and now! There is no certainty that I will win this battle of minds and music! As long as theres a fighting chance, I will keep going! I for the sake of those I love and those who dont deserve cruel fates, declare that surrender wont be an option for me! Its fight or dead! Forces of darkness always rampage, Im just mixing the main ideas of what Im singing into one go at this point! Life gave lemons, I mixed them with other things to make my existence sweeter! Your attitude is Death Metal like except its actually full on evil and not a form of rebellion, entertainment, and self expression!" "Sally sells seashells by the seashore, I will end her and you! For I decree that you will *huffs* l o s e" "As far I can tell, your voice is too tired to make anymore bold statements! Passion flows through my veins even though I just want to be at home with everything restored unaltered by time tampering! *huffs* It looks like I win as I can still kind of keep going! Lets try that handy trick again, mind crush!"
Julian is mind crushed and I run as fast I can despite my exhaustion after putting my guitar away, I am chased down by some troops and my legs give out 2 minutes in, causing me to get pretty hurt from a sudden fall.. "You are surrounded. Give up now, there is no way you can get past us in your state." I struggle to stand up: "Oh is that so, those 2 minutes allowed me to rest my voice! Now for a little surprise, I may be having a hard time standing but you cant bring me down so easily! I will keep going even with pain, Ive endured a lot in my life, I will fight no matter the challenge! My goal is to overcome it! This is no exception! Surprise time, glitter acrylic paint!" I launch from a paint container of glitter paint I had put in my backpack, said paint at the enemies, making my slow escape as I am in no shape to run, the troops are too concerned about having glitter on them to care that much! After pulling the same trick on an ambush, ruining their instruments in the process, I realize that I need to be stealthy and not walk out in the open, vulnerable to discovery and attack. I start sneaking around using the cover of building shadows and other things to gradually make my way to any place that is safe for me to enter without troops coming at me. At one point, I even see a bunch of troops heading uniformly for the alley I am in so I hide inside of literally the only thing I can hide in in the dang alley, a dumpster, ironic considering I used to lift the lid of a dumpster to help with Recycling Club in 5th grade which was 6 years ago, it was a tiring and gross task that made me wish I could go to the bathroom before having my lunch next period just to wash my hands.. As I get in the dumpster fully, I winch as the upper right part of my back which is most prone to hurting for whatever reason starts hurting quite a bit..
A voice says: "Is there anyone hurt around here? Just make it easy and give up to us, you will not win in a physical fight with us with that pain you are expressing. We arent just a music combat army, we know all forms of combat in order to allow for more effectiveness." I cover my mouth and anxiously wait as the troops slowly leave the alley.. When the coast is clear, I try to get out but I find that I cant get myself to push the lid open or even stand up a little bit. The sound I most definitely did not want to hear is something I hear: the familiar sound of a garbage truck.. Lucky for me, the truck did not have a grinder thing at all, the trash and me just got dumped into the back of the thing.. I squirm and struggle around to find an air pocket in order to not suffocate and devise a plan on how to get out.. I start having a hard time breathing when I find one as my back pain worsens alongside other pain throughout the rest of my body.. So glad that I wasnt in that dark dumpster for too long even though I sustained some serious pain due to being dumped into the truck.. I clearly hear mainstream Earth late 2010s style rap music with evil lyrics being played from a radio in the garbage truck, disrupting my thinking until I manage to start ignoring the music that very much irritates me. I make to plan to make a run for it as soon as the large doors holding in the trash are opened once again as quick as possible while in a trash disguise to ensure the garbage people dont realize who I am and cause the enemy to all swarm in after me.. I then wait as patiently as I can while making my dumb but good I guess disguise to get out until the doors are finally opened, something nutty happens though.. 2 unicorns appear with an army of creatures backing one of them, that one says: "After having our butts handed to us by that Culver`s monster, we have suddenly been transported to this place fully healed! Borglars, lets do this again!" The other replies: "I wont let you Fleberry, feel the power of my lazer again! That Borglar weapon is so going down this real! But uhh, why isnt my lazer appearing?" "Hahaha! How pathetic! Did you just fart? Thats gross!" I butt in running out of the grabage truck: "You know what else is gross? This stupid trash disguise! No burger stealing Borglar is winning on my watch! I dont eat burgers but stealing burgers from that random Wendy`s just isnt cool!"
The garbage facility workers are frozen in total confusion. "Too bad the weapon can also be used on things that arent burgers!" "We`ll see if you will even get the chance to, Fleberry the unicorn! Duel disk go, duel gazer on and active! I activate the action spell Mind Factory! Action cards are dispersed! I bring forth my synchro monster Death Metal Warlock! This aint a proper duel after all! Warlock, you are joined by Pegasus and the monsters I used to summon you in that duel! All my monsters, attack the Borglars! I also activate a action spell I just picked up to destroy the Borglar weapon with a fireball! I may be hurt but this field is small and dueling doesnt take too much out of me!" 10 minutes later and Bob and I defeat Fleberry and the Borglars who just vanish afterwards. Bob however gets to stay and I say: "Lets get out of here, Mind Factory was a nice distraction for the people who work here, we need to go now! Can I ride you, Im a bit injured.. Also please never try to invade Culver`s or anywhere else for that matter with Fleberry, the Borglars, and Ronald McDonald. I see you have a good heart but just like some mischief. Why dont you help me and the team I came with to this galaxy sized city to defeat the city`s occupiers, evil music based individuals fighting for the Musical Empire?" "I dont even know you, I just wanted some butter burgers and Wendy`s.." "Well quick intro: my name is Warrior Adam and I am trying to save existence from a time traveling villain who messes with time at a pace so immense it is practically nutty how much such is done! I fight through various means and would love to have you and your lazer on the team! That lazer has some serious power when your magic isnt all used up! Im not going to ask how its even possible for it to wake Ronald McDonald right out of retirement.."
"Sure I will join but will I get to return to my world?" "Whenever you like so long as there isnt a battle going on, just come with us today, we will get you caught up to speed and blah blah blah! I say blah as we have had to do some variant on that procedure an insane number of times, I have literally lost count completely!" We have at this point left the garbage building and have a bunch of pop music troops running after us.. I yell: "I summon my fusion monster known as Casey and weaponize the Pendulum Scale completely, bringing forth more monsters and using the Pendulum energy to mount an assault on these doo doos! Ow my back! This should buy us time to sneak off somewhere at some point, maybe then I can get some healing myself done!" Soon enough, we are able to stealthy escape the swarm and into a backroad! Taking a rest, Bob stops and I hop off, returning my monsters after. Sadly, we are not in the clear just yet as an aggressive roar is heard.. Bob trembles in fear, spotting the beast roaring: "NO! Its the BigBuffBeastlyBetterButterBurgerBehemoth!" I exclaim: "Snickerdoodles! That beast wiped you and your former allies out in an instant! I summon all my monsters from the Duel Monsters Spirit World, activate Half Unbreak to protect the both of us, activate as well Ring of Defense, Mirror Wall, Mirror Force, Spellbinding Circle, Draining Shield, Limiter Removal, and special abilities of all monsters that will help us here! That will be a major drain on my magic but its worth it! Additionally, I mind crush that Behemoth aka the majority shareholder of Culver`s LLC in your world! And there goes the last of my Shadow Magic reserves.. Ow my body hurts more, I cant use my sword anymore which leaves my voice as my only weapon besides my cards as my hands are limited by pain too.." The combination of monsters, traps, and spells allow us to weaken our foe significantly before my monsters retreat and the shields protecting me and Bob break..
Luckily, Bob can use his lazor again, Im so glad he does as that further weakens and stuns the BigBuffBeastlyBetterButterBurgerBehemoth! I try to launch Burn Wolf but fail and sigh: "I have lost the capability to fight decent for the time being.. Its up to you to defeat the Behemoth, Bob, I am counting on you! However, put these earplugs in as I will use my voice to help till I cant anymore! Death Metal scream time!" As Bob attacks and defends, I scream: "IN OUR WAY IN OUR WAY BOB HAS CHANGED HIS WAYS! He wont mess with your precious Culver`s ever again! Let us live so we can have frozen custard and what have you! Dont be so cold, we will fight if we must but consider the offer Im giving: an alliance of sorts! My screams I know do some damage but you are handling it well! Help us kick the butts of some truly evil individuals who may have no interest in free butter burgers but they will one day screw over Culver`s LLC in some way if they arent put to a stop today! My voice is nearing its limit, I must stop and scuttle away a little bit, scuttle scuttle!" I crab walk a bit to move out of the way of the action after sitting down to reduce the strain on my back. Once I am satisfied with my new position, I remain still as much as possible to rest my muscles and voice, gently rubbing areas afflicted with pain in an attempt to reduce it all as Bob puts up a great fight against the enemy poised to end us instantly once we are both unable to do much when it comes to fighting.. However, Bob keeps persisting even with his own injuries and pain increasing more and more over the coming minutes, the Behemoth is eventually defeated and both of us take pity: "You just wanted to keep Culver`s safe, your anger blinded you to the new truth. We can start over as allies, Bob is truly sorry for what he tried to do to Culver`s, I hope you can forgive him for this battle and all that and me for trying to defeat you as well.. Please just let us fight on the same side now, screw Ronald McDonald! You can show a powerful enemy what for once the 3 of us recover from our injuries and exhaustion!"
In a rather rough voice, the defeated BigBuffBeastlyBetterButterBurgerBehemoth speaks: "It is true, I just wish you Bob never allied with Ronald McDonald plus Fleberry and those burger stealing Borglars who have stolen burgers from our locations such as the one near that theme park Kings Island and that hotel in Wisconsin that hosts that one February furry convention.." "We just wanted the butter burgers!" "I get it, food is our substitute in pleasure for money, Im relieved you came to your senses even if it took you being defeated by me completely in the blink of an eye.. We should really start healing somehow." "Logistically, we cannot gamble with the healthcare system of Musical Empire controlled New Berlin and we cant go much of anywhere if we wanted to! I feel no broken bones for me, my injuries consist of cuts and bruises, a somewhat common theme for crazy adventures like this one.. Last time, I got stung by evil bees and injured in similar ways as today like bruh! First we must take care of the exhaustion and pain that has little to do with cuts n bruises! Cool news is that there is a thrown away mattress near us we can all lay on! The issue is how are we going to get to it.. Oh I know: we move slowly to it, I am going to scoot my way over and heave myself right onto it!" Doing such, we are ready for some suffering, rewarded by the relief caused by laying on the actually clean and soft mattress, who would throw away such a thing and why do it? The mattress helps with much of the pain and exhaustion, giving me the chance to slowly get out bandages: "I always carry these things around just in case I need them, I learned a lot from my last adventure.. Being hunted down by a being of pure darkness while getting beaten up pretty hard in addition to crossing some dangerous terrain and being stung does in fact teach you much if you have never experienced it all in such a way before! Im shocked no troops have spotted us yet.." "There they are! Finally, we can catch and capture them like Pokemon!"
I launch Burn Wolf successfully with the instructions: "Burn Wolf, hold them off with your speed, stealth, attack, defense, and stamina! But first Burning Paint Blast and standard mode special move: Howl of Great Power!" I first bandage up myself so I can help Bob and Behemoth! Good thing I also brought my ankle brace along too, I put it on my left leg/foot as that is one of the most hurt areas of my body right now and feel better right away! I go ahead and help the other 2 in due time before resting quite a bit more with them as Burn Wolf effortlessly holds back them troops like its day in the park for a nice picnic! After that, I retrieve Burn Wolf and we all walk away leaving a large number of unconscious troops in our wake! It takes some time but through a energy tracking device, we manage to come together with the others finally! I explain who my two new companions are and such, causing Fluffy Afro to just figuratively die of laughter especially since Im still in the dang trash disguise! I cant help but say: "Look at me! I am quite literally furry trash right now! I have my tail on and Im wearing this quirky getup! Ow still in pain ow ow but at least its better now!" The leader of the Musical Empire appears and stops us in our tracks: "It looks like you all managed to survive and avoid being sacrificed! You let the other prisoners form a resistance so strong my forces are starting to flee the city and the city itself has declared independence! All citizens living here that arent from my empire originally support these radicals! You disgusting individuals! I will have all of you sacrificed now! Come forth the very beast we sacrifice too, the music beast we like to call DJ! DJ say hi enemies, enemies say goodbye! I will leave you all to play now! Mwahahaha! And now I will organize a regrouping that will leave this resistance begging for mercy following my new order to have the police I appointed be joined by federal Musical Empire agents to quell this illegal operation! Law and order!" DJ makes a terrifying noise before trying to eat us..
I comment outloud: "I am not a candy bar! Stop trying to eat us, human dont taste too good as far as Im aware! Especially with that armpit bacteria! I want lunch.." The Wacky Clowns are the first to attack DJ using their patented fart beam which comes with a fart noise and is the successor to the thing that caused them to fight so irrationally that one time back in 2018! DJ then begins trying to destroy the UFO allowing me to slice off parts of the beast as Brayden stuns them with a intense and powerful magical blast: "Stand down DJ for I shall otherwise keep you from doing what you set out to do. I Great Sage Brayden state that YOU SHALL NOT EAT US!" That is when I think of a outside of the box idea, I convince the others to help put on an annoying show to allow Brayden to attack lots of times unseen by DJ! All of us are in unison(with a few exceptions) saying(thanks to a fun device that we each have which pulls random thoughts from our heads and displays them) after I pitch the idea: "Lalala, we are annoying! DJ you stinky! Weeee you should swell into a blueberry and see how you like things beyond your control! *Random kazoos are summoned and used* This is the annoying song, we wont shut up till our purpose is served! *Several of us fart at once* Spiral slide 1 has broken down, Spiral slide 1 has broken down! Go little glow worm! Never thought Fluffy`s hair would be affected by spontaneous combustion when we all first met him at different times! Id rather be a freaky fish guy than be devoured by you! Ooooooo we spooky! Look at our tongues, not colorful even though we could have had popsicles today! Eeeeeeee! There will be no more Go Animated Grounded videos by Jose, the master of insanity! Fricking volcano!"
Then we start all doing random dance moves, mine are fail dance style because I never learned to dance and also make silly noises! I switch to talking in a funny voice about how my day has been in Yugioh Abridged style monologuing including: "I am not the main character but I also am! I dont get paid enough for all this screen time!" Brayden gives us a thumbs up to stop messing around as DJ looks very pissed off! I get my game face on before smiling even while still feeling pain: "Sometimes the best way to fight pain is to just smile! Bring it on, DJ! We ready for you!" The true action begins with DJ more focused on actually defeating us now, unleashing dark energy through nostrils right towards us, I count by using my vocal chords to scream in order to cancel the dark energy out with some classic sound energy, among the easiest energy to create and transmit for sure when animals evolved to make sound of some kind! DJ decides to just straight up target me, knocking back the others and using the moment to relentlessly attack me, I cant do a single thing as I am just hit with constant attacks, my trash disguise is destroyed and my armor gets dented, allowing for some weak spots to be formed.. DJ aggressively attacks the others in other ways, determined to defeat me in one go and well, that works as I am eventually in so much pain and so hurt I cant move a muscle that isnt in my vocal chord or butt..
I simply weakly say: "Cant move, someone get me to safety so I can rest. I will watch from here.." Bob takes me a bit away from the battle and puts me down, convenient that I dont have to use the bathroom right now or else I would be in a very bad spot comfort wise.. The ninja quickly manage to dodge the next set of awful moves done by DJ and use spinjitzu to hit multiple times n send them back quite a bit, a building that is a recruitment headquarters for the Musical Empire army is destroyed in the process even! I am able to from my current view also see a fierce battle between the resistance led by Bruce and the forces of the Musical Empire`s leader who are being pushed back at the moment, a fact that makes me happy! However, my happiness fades as my absolute not favorite thing pain really starts getting bad as I start to stiffen up, onwards I watch the battle between DJ and my friends n allies as best as I can. Fluffy Afro makes silly tongue things and starts dancing with emphasis on his butt, mocking DJ the same way twerkeys mock miis! DJ actually dramatically speaks in clear language: "Is this your limits? Your easy pickings! You cannot last much longer against me at this rate!" The Wacky Clowns and Fluffy get serious and join the others on the ground on an offensive combined move! "Wait, you 5 actually fight? I thought you were supposed to be the annoyances who irritate enemies of yours like me. Oh well, now this is starting to become a challenge!" Bob uses his lazor horn again, making DJ kind of worried! Ow! My back again! I cant focus on 2 things at once, its between the battle or this terrible pain that I am dealing with, I remain unable to move, my arms are in so much pain the nerves in them wont respond to my brain at all which is nuts! The pain is somehow even worse than what I experienced when I rolled my ankle, it sure was hard to walk, I got off pretty lucky after recovering though! Oh great now a massive headache is forming, I really need to be focused on the battle to ignore the pain in some way now and to actually watch without selective hearing coming into effect.. I regain my attention on the battle and Lloyd leads the ninja in a frontal assault featuring all of their elemental powers!
This keeps DJ at bay for a tiny bit of time, giving others the chance to strike! 20 minutes of fighting pass and despite all the action, I get overwhelmed by pain and a tired feeling, falling asleep without warning.. I wake up 25 minutes later with Fluffy checking up on me: "Oh no! You fell asleep! Missed out on a lot of action, how are you feeling right now?" I reply: "In lots of pain that thankfully was reduced slightly by my unplanned snooze. Now my mind is all foggy and stuff which is so not a yay.." "I see, well, one of us will help you up once we defeat this joker who is really beating us pretty badly.." Brayden having heard our exchange says: "Thats how it seems, he is about to take down just about everyone but I have remained at full strength this whole time, a magical barrier has protected me and now I am about to do something to blow all of your minds in a few minutes. You see, I can one shot this enemy we are fighting like Im taking a jog on the beach on a hot summer day! I shall always be prepared and careful, I havent defeated DJ yet in order to keep it hush hush that Im much more powerful than the forces of evil are still led to believe! Just need to weaken DJ and do some healing before even thinking further about beating him today!" Brayden is able to heal everyone effortlessly before joining them all in another team attack! Zane even freezes DJ before Kai uses fire which is followed by Jay`s lightning, delivering a devastating shock to DJ! That is not all for the others have yet to attack, Lloyd`s powers really send DJ packing and Brayden goes last after the rest, letting out a orb of energy based attack! DJ grumbles: "I am so done playing games, I have been going easy on all of you! I activate Rank Up Magic Barian`s Force on myself to rank myself up using the copy stolen from the Barians by the Musical Empire as they conquered that world! Not to mention I also activate several other rank up magics and inject myself with the virus from the universe the Supernoobs are from! Now there is no hope for you!"
As he begins transforming, Brayden is like: "Make that more like a pretty difficult jog in the jungle, takes a lot out of me. And add on a few minutes to those few minutes." DJ now looking much more menacing goes on a rage, defeating the Wacky Clowns in nearly an instant while Brayden remains unharmed and the BigBuffBeastlyBetterButterBurgerBehemoth is able to take him one on one still: "You arent the only strong beast around here remember." I suddenly have an idea, my duel gazer is virtually connected to my neural network so I tap into its power in order to attack with my mind! The results of the mind based onslaughts made possible by my advanced piece of dueling accessory are that DJ is confused as a headache forms before being thrown back by a invisible force: "What is happening? Why am I not winning even with all these power upgrades?" Randomly out of nowhere, Maximilian Pegasus shows up: "That is because your heart isnt in those cards as Yugi boy would say. I ended up here after someone altered the timeline of the world I live in and I am not happy with these circumstances. The opponents of yours are definitely the right kind of people to ally myself with, I have heard some great things about their adventures." "Just who are you being of delicious flesh?" "Oh dont be so hasty. My name is Maximillion Pegasus, I am the creator of Duel Monsters in my world." Gorganan crashes the party too: "Ugh, you managed to be saved from the void. Duel Monsters wont save you from my full power once I reach it though! Mwahaha! DJ, I am counting on you, destroy these mortals so maybe then I wont have to destroy them myself someday in the future!" "Is that really you Gorganan?" "Yes it is me, now I am going! Toodles mwahahaha!"
I mentally comment: "What a slime bucket!" Maximilian then joins the battle, summoning all his toon monsters who prove to be more than a handful for DJ! You see toons are quite hard to destroy, they are mischievous and have all sorts of tricks! Toon Summoned Skull just laughs as they fry DJ over and over again with lightning while the Toon Gemini Elf just sneaks around and attacks from behind, giggling every single time! 15 minutes of more fighting and DJ is weakened again, Brayden acts fast: "I also have been going easy and now I shall not hold back! No one is witnessing this besides Adam of course, Dominic`s latest gadget told me such! Great Sage Beam Of Infinite Hope!" Brayden focuses a lot of energy into a beam before sending it right at DJ, the effects are instant! DJ screams as he is defeated before swelling up and getting consumed completely by the energy! The Musical Empire leader appears right away: "Impossible! DJ is gone! You did the impossible, how?! I dont regret removing the very gem that ensures the existence of the Musical Empire from his stomach yesterday now. It looks like that I will have to fight all of you! I use that very gem to power up myself with the energy of all my followers! Darkness grows and this will be your final moments! My army was pushed out of this country but that doesnt matter now! Gorganan gave me some information of the random variety: Im sure Adam over there remembers this move! Gravity Rain!" He levitates in the air before pushing back literally everyone.. Fluffy lands right by me: "What does he mean by what he said?" "Well, when my brother and I played with plushies years ago, making up lore and talking in voices for those plushies, there was a move done by Charlie the horse voiced and moved by me that is the move that McSmartyPants over yonder just did.." "Oh, thats different.. Im going to annoy him now so the others can bring on their full power upon him!" I get back to using my duel gazer to launch mind attacks, catching the foe off guard which is the perfect opening for an attack! Then, switching tactics, I start beaming metal songs forever ingrained in my head at you know who! This distracts and agitates him: "I hate metal music! Why is it playing in my head, its too rebellious for the Musical Empire! Theres a reason Julian was my weakest general until he turned to dust an hour ago!" I keep sending all kinds of intense metal music with some just annoying/wacky music mixed in such as by the likes of The Residents and Primus!
The enemy whose name I managed to find out is Greg seriously doesnt know that Im the one responsible for his mind being occupied with unwanted music! Sadly, the pain for me gets more unbearable and I have to stop doing that mind stuff, allowing Greg to be able to actually fight properly.. He does all sorts of things to try to win but nothing works even though most of the team are pretty battered by those attacks.. He looks like he might actually win so I use my duel gazer to mentally call up Dominic to see if he is avaliable to help us, he answers quickly: "Hey Adam! How is it going? Im just here chilling in my lab as the team made up of myself, Mem, Zen, Marty, and Doc Brown managed to restore the timeline of the universe home to the Power Rangers already!" "Oh good you are free, I am talking to you with my mind as we have a situation.. I am very hurt unable to move and the enemy looks like they are about to pull an upset, I doubt even Brayden could stop them by himself.. Could you provide some assistance, dont bring others because we should fool Greg here that we are a much smaller team than in actuality so he underestimates you! Bring any invention of yours you want to take him out please and hurry!" "Okay! Got it, I want to take a nap but helping friends and the multiverse is more important! Where are you in New Berlin?" "We are near the court building in an area with a now destroyed building." "Alright, I will be over, see ya then! Greg wont know what hit him!" I sigh a breath of relief, knowing for certain that Dominic will surprise everyone even me with how he aids us against that villain! The pain makes me want to scream but that relief helps calm myself down a bit.. Greg is now one on one fighting Brayden as the others were gradually defeated: "Come on you sage, why arent you taking any damage?" "I have magic you cannot possibly comprehend. I shall keep you busy for as long I can hold out. You will not hurt anyone else before beating me, I wont allow you! Even if you can teleport, I will find and stop you!"
"Oh so you will prove to be an obstacle! I happen to really enjoy these difficult battles, makes my victory and your misery all the more sweeter!" Just then, Fluffy has some strength to stand up so he does just to let out a fart at Greg, causing Greg to react in disgust and horror: "That is the worst smell ever! What have you eaten? Lucky you that I have no interest in fighting you anymore since you wont be able to put up a fight any longer! Now you powerful mage are a different story, I will show you and the rest the full power of the great empire created and entrusted to me by the one and only Gorganan!" "You might want to find a new career as I shall fight till the end and maybe even beat you at your own game!" "Hahahaha, very funny, you are powerless against me beyond whatever is protecting you!" "Is that so? What if I told you that all forces of evil have been tricked to believe I Great Sage Brayden have shown my true power already while any of them were watching! You werent watching the defeat of DJ." A familiar voice adds: "I bet you werent expecting this new twist! Brayden, leave the rest up to me!" "Dominic! What timing! I trust you, show this villain what for, dont let me down!" "I will not Master Brayden!" "No! Scientists have always been the greatest threat to my rule, youre one of the greatest scientists of all time.." "Ha, dont try to flatter me as you will be going down! One of my creations shows that beyond your evil, you have no life force, soul, or good side. Another one is what Im using on you! *Brings out the weapon*" "Thats really funny, that little thing is supposed to defeat me? You can barely hold it!" "True but I learned how to have a good grip on it anyway! You are made out of mass which means it can work on you!" "Whats that supposed to mean? Youre trying to scare me!"
"Yes and no, see that random pile of garbage easily visible from where we are? I just push the button and boom, the garbage is instantly disintegrated!" "Oh really then why havent you pressed the button?" "I have watched too many action movies! Okay, button pressed! *Garbage disintegrates*" "You didnt! I the great leader of the Musical Empire run for my existence! I surrender! I surrender!" "You arent even supposed to exist, you are soulless and have no life in you just dark energy! Now time for the countdown! 10 9 8" "Not a countdown! *Starts trying to run away*" "7 you 6 wont 5 get 4 away 3 in 2 time 1! Adios, bye felica! *Pushes button aimed at a running Greg*" "Noooooo! Im melting melting! Now my limbs have disintegrated! Aaaa-" Silence takes hold as the rest of Greg just ceases to exist in a flash! The gem that he was holding drops to the ground before literally exploding, Brayden makes sure all of us including me get into an alleyway to be hidden from the citizens from New Berlin as the building we destroyed comes back as a music club and the streets are full of happy citizens once again with no sign of any battles having happened.. Brayden takes the chance to heal me up, allowing me to finally move again even with some stiffness based struggling: "Now that you are better, it is time to go home! Blaze, do the honors again! Would you care to join us Pegasus, BigBuffBeastlyBetterButterBurgerBehemoth, and Bob?"
The 3 agree just as Blaze teleports himself and all of us to Cornburry where Mem and Zen are waiting having just stopped a virus beast: "Hey look Memock, they are back with some new allies.. Uhh, the transmission from the Belevolent Alliance about the danger of the Musical Empire just got erased out of nowhere, like it never existed.." I so happen to have grabbed a resistance newspaper from New Berlin which has turned into a blank newspaper! I show it to them saying: "This newspaper was a resistance newspaper and now there is literally nothing written on it anymore!" Doc Brown rushes over: "Great Scott! You have all removed the Musical Empire from existence and history! There is no evidence for it taking over anywhere anymore! Look at this newspaper from the Earth I come from about being invaded by musical warriors! It just says `another day of nothing interesting` now! This is the greatest feat of time alteration ever! Marty Marty!" He then runs once more, this time to Marty!
I say to Blaze: "You did really awesome today! That tail of yours is so soft and yet so dangerous like someone could fall asleep because of the softness and yet it deals damage to enemies effectively!" This leads to a fun conversation between me and Blaze as we all head to our respective homes, lunch is made soon and devoured in 8 minutes! I then decide to sit down on my bed with Burn Wolf in my hand: "You saved me! The new team members are learning what we are all about now but I have to say, we have really bonded and respond well to each other! I wouldnt ever want to replace you, you are the right bey for me! Next time we go adventuring, it will be time to bring back the lost in the void Beyblade world timeline! We are close to having special moves for all of your modes! Just also need some tinkering with the axis parts by Dominic in order to make sure you can hold your ground well against Diablo Nemesis! Burning Paint Blast is a really good special move but relying on just it will not be a good idea!" I spend the rest of my day just resting after literally being tired out and hurt earlier.. That chilling includes listening to some of my favorite songs, talking to Blaze through the mental link which has faded away in the past but is going strong as of right now, planning ahead for future adventures, reading some books, and having some naps! My housemates check in here and there well aware I was not in a great shape for much of the adventure. Dinner is good and sleep comes fast!
Author`s Notes: I know this want super full of struggling but this is the chapter I almost scrapped and replaced but decided to stick with! A lot of what happened was totally unplanned including the Borglar stuff! Next chapter should have more struggling hopefully but we`ll see! I hope you liked this and didnt see the Pendulum summoning unless you read that one teaser tweet of mine! Im so happy I understand that form of summoning fully now! In at least one future chapter, I hope to feature my irl boyfriend who I am dating online, I love him so much! I should have kept the action going till the last segment before these notes but oh well! Im happy this is done, one step closer to finishing this story! The ending of this story is gonna be awesome! Okay, enough rambling, see ya next time!
