After getting the Power Source from the Great Volcano on the way back and reuniting with Ackar, Gresh and Kiina, Mata Nui explained what he learned and they all headed to the Agori Village to ask Raanu a simple question.
"Raanu." Mata Nui caught his attention.
"Hmm?" Raanu turned to him. "Ah, you've come back! What can I do for you, Mata Nui?"
"I would like to ask you a question."
"Yes? What is it?"
"I want to know if it'd be okay with you if I could occupy the robot that's in this village."
Raanu looked at him as if he lost his ever loving mind… or if he grew two heads. One of the possibilities, I assume. "Ridiculous! Insane! Impossible!" He shouted. "How could you even ask such a thing?!"
"We went to all of that trouble… for a freaking 'no'?!" Natsu growled as Sarge wanted to reach for his shotgun, yell 'insubordination' and shoot the guy for being stubborn, Blanc wanted to play 'Whack-the-Raanu' with her hammer while everyone looked irritated… for all of that trouble just for the elder to say no, some of the pets growled… and Kratos looked completely annoyed.
I had a feeling this wouldn't be easy… Sabrina thought.
Well, you couldn't expect an enthusiastic yes. Mata Nui thought. You're not just asking a lot of these people… you're asking everything of them.
Raanu looked at everyone else, including the Glatorian. "You stand with him. Don't tell me you support this… this… this lunacy?!"
"We know how it sounds, believe me." Ackar replied. "Still, Mata Nui has earned the right to be heard, hasn't he? Without him, we would all be slaves to the Skrall."
"Also, we've dealt with more insane things than this." Sora said.
"Natsu would be one of them." Youmu teased.
"Hey!"
"Don't forget Nora." Weiss added.
"Won't deny that!"
"Yuno when she's pissed off." Uni said.
"Hey! …Actually, that's true." Yuno nodded.
Mata Nui looked at them all weirdly before looking back at Raanu. "I don't expect you to just take my word, Raanu. Let me show you what I'm talking about, please."
Raanu wanted to scream "NO!" at the top of his lungs and throw these crazy heads out of his room, but then he wondered if he was telling the truth, he didn't want to know because the consequences to the Agori would be catastrophic… but what if he was just stubborn? Where was the honor there? Ackar did have a point, they owed Mata Nui more than anything.
"…Very well. We'll go now, but I make no promises."
"I don't ask for any." He reassured him.
About an hour later, they were standing at the slope, looking at the giant robot lying in front of them as Raanu heard all about the village looking like one gigantic robot but he didn't bother to check it for himself because he was busy trying to create a new government over one huge village, not to mention building defenses in case if the Vorox or Bone Hunters came to attack… but what he saw in front of it, he couldn't deny it.
"Interesting…" Raanu said. "Perhaps it was something the Great Beings built… or tried to… ages ago. But what of it?"
"You're right. They did create it." Mata Nui said. "But something went wrong. It exploded, raining parts all over the desert. And they stayed scattered until the Agori brought them together again."
"You haven't answered my question." Raanu told him. "So it's a failed experiment. It's also our home and our only protection against our enemies. What does it have to do with you?"
He pointed towards the city. "I guess you could say it's my… ancestor. I once had a body much like that, before I came here. And if I am going to get it back again, I need to borrow that one."
Raanu glared at him, clenching his fists. "We're done here." He said and walked back down the mountain.
Later that night…
BGM: More Gun (Team Fortress 2)
Mata Nui sat down by a camp fire with Ackar, Gresh and Sabrina's family, all of them thinking about how stubborn Raanu was, and wondering what to do.
"Are you sure you have to do this?" Gresh asked after breaking the silence. "There's no other way?"
Mata Nui's eyes was fixed on the fire… and eating a marshmallow that Deadpool brought out, not grasping the concept of 'S'mores' yet. "I've told you about my universe and my people how I failed them, how my enemy, Teridax, seized control of it. But there's one thing I left out."
"What do you mean?" Ackar asked. "…Hey, pass me one of those marshmallows."
"One universe wouldn't be enough for him. He's hungry, he's waited tens of thousands of years for the power he has now, and now that he has it…"
"We thought the Skrall couldn't be beaten." Ackar reminded. "You showed us different. Whatever force he commands, however big this army, he can't be invulnerable."
Mata Nui suddenly stood up. "You don't understand! The power at his fingertips… it's the power I used to wield. I know what it can do. He could crush us all under an armored heel and never notice, or sweep the entire city the entire city away with a gesture."
He then looked directly at Ackar. "Teridax could destroy this planet, before any of us could raise a weapon against him. Believe me."
Gresh looked at him in surprise, he never saw this side of him before. "You mean you…?!"
"Yes, Gresh. Before I came to Bara Magna, I could do all of that and more."
"And did you?" Ackar asked.
"No. That wasn't why I wasn't created."
End BGM
None of them said a word, processing what he said as the sound of the crackling fire was heard… until Ackar put his hand on Mata Nui's shoulder. "Hey. You believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. Anything I can do, just say the word."
Mata Nui smiled and then looked at Gresh. "What about you, kid?"
Gresh looked at him right in the eyes. "I've fought for the people here. All the Glatorian have, and long before you ever got here, Mata Nui. We thought you were one of us, or at least something close!"
"Gresh!" Ackar snapped.
"Whoa, what the hell was that all about?!" Minene asked.
"Mata Nui didn't mean all of this to happen." Riku told him.
"Yeah! You didn't have to accuse him for anything!" Sora said.
Sabrina didn't say anything, but she was more than likely annoyed of Gresh accusing Mata Nui. In fact, Rose and Maria Jr. looked annoyed too.
"It's all right." Mata Nui calmly said. "Let him have his say."
BGM: Scent of Silence (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories)
"I'll have my say, all right! Now you tell us you were some kind of… I don't know what… with more power in one finger than every other warrior on this world put together! And you say you want the city… that robot body! Why?! So you can have that power again? We didn't overthrow the Skrall so some armored giant could rule over us!"
"That's enough!" Ackar shouted.
Mata Nui took out his sword… and then he surprisingly offered it hilt first to Gresh. "I'm not here to rule anyone." He said in a surprisingly calm voice. "I'm trying to save your people and mine. But if you can't believe that, my friend, then take my weapon and lock me in a cell. I won't fight you."
Gresh looked at him, and then at the sword, hesitantly.
"Take it."
Gresh didn't dare to move… he found no strength in his body to just take the sword and put him in a cell… until Mata Nui put it away. "Then help me, or else get out of my way."
End BGM
Meanwhile, with Raanu…
Raanu sat in his chamber, deep in thought, thinking about what had happened. He half-expected it to happen ever since the villages were reunited. After all, he knew far more about the Great Beings' creations more than anyone else.
Bara Magna had once been a part of a larger world known as Spherus Magna… then the Core War happened, which was a global conflict that resulted in the shattering of the planet. During those dark days, Raanu briefly served the Great Beings while they attempted to stop the fighting.
During that time, he witnessed firsthand of something that the Great Beings were creating, a massive robot with the power to fly into space. At first, he thought that it'd be able to carry all the Agori to safety, but that wasn't intentional. When he found out that it wasn't, he rejected it as just another idle experiment by rulers who lost their touch when they ruled. During the struggle after the Shattering, he completely forgot about it.
Then Mata Nui arrived… along with the Other Worlders with him. He heard tales about his exile from another universe, his knowledge of the Great Beings, something about the Malevolent Seven that he could care less about, and plans he had uncovered for a huge robot. Kiina said he seemed to recognize them, and more, to have some connection to them. That was when Raanu began to suspect there was more to this visitor that there seemed to be. He would say the same about the Heroes of Light, but he didn't seem to care.
But then, he knew. This 'universe' that Mata Nui had been exiled from was not just some alternate universe or anything, oh no, it came from the robot itself that the Great Beings had built. He wasn't sure how it was possible, but then again, the Great Beings always managed to confuse him in the first place. Now Mata Nui wants a new body to replace the old one, even if said body just so happened to be the city.
Could he say "no" to this? After all, without Mata Nui and these interesting Heroes of Light, the city wouldn't be there, the Skrall would've enslaved them all, the Glatorian would've been killed, and Bara Magna would be held with an iron grip. He had to admit that Mata Nui's inspiration and heroism that saved everyone.
But… how could he say 'yes' to this? With no city, the Vorox and Bone Hunters would have free reign on killing everyone with no protection whatsoever… and for what, Mata Nui acted like this robot would be the key to save his people as if his life depended on it.
Earlier, he consulted the other Agori leaders and some of the Glatorian and they all agreed that the decision was up to him, for they were confident that he'd choose the wisest course of action.
He stood up and wanted to talk with Mata Nui… he owed the warrior that much. And he would have to prepare for whatever would be thrown at him, even if he said 'no' to Mata Nui and his friends.
Back at the campsite…
The fire was completely extinguished, and everyone was doing what they were doing, just minding their own business while four little kids were getting sleepy. They were about to go to bed when Raanu ran up, asking for where Mata Nui was, but before he could ask the question, he spotted Mata Nui looking at the stars in the middle of the campsite.
Raanu cleared his throat, catching his attention. "I know who, and what, you are. At least… I think I do."
"Then you should know that I was created for a reason. I have a destiny to fulfill, and to do that, I need-"
"I know what you need. The Agori need it too. Why are you more important than they are?"
"Raanu, when I came here, I didn't know where I was or why. Now I have my answers. I know I am asking a lot of you, of all of you, but you have to believe me, I'm here to help… so give me the tools to let me do that."
"From what you've said, your own people believed in you, and it didn't get them very far."
Mata Nui tried to reply… but then he sensed something. "…He's coming."
"Who? Don't think you can trick me-"
"It's no trick." A voice interrupted as he looked to see Professor Jacob. "I'm sensing it too… Teridax is coming." He said, which caught everyone's attention.
"Yep, I'm sensing it too! My Teridax senses are tingling like crazy!"
"They're not wrong." Locus spoke up. "I'm picking him up in my scanner."
"Oh good, I get a reason to blow Teridax's face off." Sarge said. "I'm picking him up too!"
"So am I." Simmons.
"Yeeeep." Doc nodded.
"This is freaky…" Washington said.
"So, all of us are picking him up?" Carolina asked.
"Apparently." Tucker nodded.
"He's coming in fast." Samus spoke up.
"He's far away…but he's picking up speed by the second. I can sense it… there's murderous intent…" Mavis gravely said.
Mata Nui looked at them all before looking at Raanu. "Can't you see? Teridax has found me… no… all of us and he's coming here. We can sense it. I lived in that body for 100,000 years. We can sense his approach, Raanu. We're the only ones with a prayer of stopping him. You have to grant my request before it's too late."
Raanu clenched his fists… not liking what he just heard… but it had to be done.
"Very well. I am putting the survival of my people into your hands, Mata Nui. I will give you what you ask. But know this… betray us, and no suit of armor will protect you from my revenge. That artificial body existed as shattered parts once before, and it can do so again."
Before any of them could say 'thank you', Raanu walked away and then looked over his shoulder. "We will begin the evacuation at dawn. Be ready." He said and walked away.
It was silent for a few seconds… until Neptune squealed with joy.
"AW YEAH! WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO DESTROYING TERIDAX'S BUTT!" She exclaimed.
BGM: Departure to the Front Lines (Naruto Shippuden)
Mata Nui looked at everyone. "The battle will be dangerous though. I cannot guarantee anyone's survival during this attack."
"Oh please!" Natsu smirked. "I'm getting all fired up just thinking about it!"
"We do have to prepare though… Teridax is coming right for us." Noire said.
"OH WHO CARES?! WE MIGHT AS WELL THROW HIM A WELCOMING PARTY BY BEATING HIS ASS!" Uzume grinned, pretty excited.
Mata Nui chuckled. "I always somehow forget who I'm dealing with here."
"Buddy, you're looking at the Heroes of Light, and we always get the job done!" Youmu said.
"We might as well give these guys some fresh air before the big day." Sabrina said, taking out her Pokeballs.
"Way ahead of you!" Aria exclaimed as they all called out their Pokemon, including Professor Jacob's, Deadpool's and Flame's.
"Zoro!"
"Celebi bi bi!"
"DARMANA!"
"I'm getting pumped up just thinking about it!" Flare grinned.
"Oh yeah!" Flame exclaimed.
Professor Jacob put his hand out. "The battle will be dangerous, but I'm sure we can pull through."
"We always do!" Sora put his hand on his.
"Hell yeah we do!" Sabrina put her hand on his.
"Teridax is getting a face full of lead before I'm done with him!" Sarge.
"Ha ha! He won't know what'll hit him!" Peashy.
"We'll defeat everyone!" Mavis.
"If Teridax is coming to the party, and I know we'll destroy him, we're just one step closer to destroying the Malevolent Seven!" Aria.
"I'm all fired up!"
"Aye!"
"Grenin!"
Soon, they put all of their hands up. "Together, we'll be unstoppable… and Teridax won't know what hit him!" Alex declared.
"Damn straight!" Blanc grinned.
"Then let's give it all we got!" Ruby exclaimed.
"YEAH!" They all yelled, putting their hands up in the air, turning into fists… and they were all ready to take him down.
End BGM
As they were getting ready, Isaac was busy petting his Hydreigon as it was affectionately rubbing its… uh… heads, on his chest. "Heheheh, you like that, don't you?"
It was this moment that Jaune came by and saw Hydreigon, and proceeded to pet him… only for the Hydreigon to angrily glare at him and proceeded to use Dragon Breath on him. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Jaune screamed as he was on the ground soon after. "WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THAT?!"
"Oh, he doesn't like it when people touch him that he doesn't trust." Isaac told him. "It took a long time for Hydreigon to trust my parents if that tells you anything."
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT SOONER?!"
"I assumed you knew."
Jaune got back up. "WELL EXCUUUUUSE ME!" He yelled. "EVERY SINGLE ONE OF EVERYONE'S POKEMON IS INSANE! IN-FREAKING-SANE!" He yelled and stormed off while a concerned Pyrrha watched him.
"…What'd I deserve to get yelled at by that?" Isaac wondered.
Meanwhile, with Mavis…
Mavis looked at the stars, as she was alone. "You wished to see me?" A voice caught her attention.
"Yeah. I needed someplace private to discuss something with you."
"Okay."
She continued to look at the stars. "Aria, do you remember that time at the Keyblade Graveyard?"
"Which time?"
"The time where you, Terra, Aqua and Ven fought Xehanort and Vanitas."
"Oh, that time…"
"Do you also remember that time when Vanitas summoned that horrid Unversed and nearly killed you?"
"Oh, how could I forget that monster?" Aria shuddered.
"And do you also remember when Igneel and I came to your aid and you absorbed me into your body and your Keyblade absorbed Igneel?"
"I do… but I've always wondered how Igneel was with you when he was inside Natsu the whole time."
"I don't know how it was possible, and it's still bothering me when he came out of Natsu." Mavis admitted. "But, let's not worry about that."
"Yeah, I'm wondering where you're going with this?"
Mavis chuckled. "Have you ever heard of Fairy Mage mode?"
"No?"
"Well, I was about to give it to you during that time, but it wasn't fully ready yet… but it did give you enough power to destroy that Unversed. We were almost ready and I was planning on using it on Xehanort, but unfortunately, your possessed brother put a wrench in my plans."
Aria sighed in sadness, wishing to forget about Vanitas possessing Ven and killing Aria right in front of Aqua, but she couldn't shake that memory out, no matter how hard she tried. It would always resurface.
"Don't worry about it." Mavis reassured her. "But, if it makes you feel better, it's fully ready to use."
Aria's eyes widened. "What?!"
"Yes. You can use it whenever you wish… but, in order to do so, I have to possess your body again in order for it to work."
"So, I can do it whenever I wish, but the first time you have to possess my body again?"
"Yeah, pretty much. You just have to tell me when's a good time."
Aria thought about it long and hard with Mavis patiently waiting for an answer until she hugged Mavis. "Thank you… I'll let you know when I want to use it."
Mavis smiled and hugged her back. "You're welcome." She said. "Do you want to watch the stars with me? No one else wanted to do it."
Aria smiled. "I'd love to." She said as they soon sat down together, looking at the stars.
The next day…
Mata Nui stood inside the head of the giant unused robot and in his hands, was a box containing the Power Source that was required to activate this giant robot. He took a few deep breaths and was ready to do what he must… but he feared that even a small amount of energy wound make this robot explode and scatter all the pieces everywhere, and then what would a Glatorian to do? Because if that happened, they wouldn't have enough time to rebuild it since Teridax was fast approaching.
A few footsteps walked in on him and he turned to see Rose, Nepgear and Yui. "What are you three doing here?"
"We came to help you!" Nepgear grinned.
"Are you sure? You'll get hurt." Mata Nui pointed out.
"Nothing can stop us mechanics!" Yui grinned.
"Yeah!" Rose grinned as they all took out their wrenches, which caused Mata Nui to sweatdrop… for he had no idea three kids would actually be able to figure out what machines are.
"We'll help you too." A voice said and they saw Team Rocket coming in.
"We've come this far, we might as well see the fight finished." James said.
"And besides, we may or may not know a thing a two about mechanics." Jessie said.
"Considering we build tons of machines, yep." Meowth nodded.
"Woooobbuffeeeet!" Wobbuffet popped out of nowhere and agreed.
"…Alright then." Mata Nui said.
"You sure about this?" A voice caught their attention as they turned to see Kiina walking in, and joining her are Sabrina, Asuna and Neptune.
"No. But it's what I have to do."
"You could be killed! Not to mention these guys too!" Kiina argued. "Let's not forget you could kill a lot of other people too if this thing blows up. Have you thought of that?"
"Of course. If I don't try though, I'll be dead and so will who knows how many others. Anyone Teridax doesn't see a need for, he will destroy. That's just fact."
Kiina nodded and looked around before sighing, and then Mata Nui gave her Click. "Take him. I don't want to hurt him."
Kiina accepted it… even though she wasn't too fond of bugs, but she knew that Click was important to him and was his friend. "It's never going to be the same, is it?"
"What isn't?"
"You, for one thing. You fought with us, laughed with us, wept for our dead, and helped us rebuild after the Skrall invasion. You've been one of us, and now you're going to be… this."
"But still the same person. Still your friend."
"A friend who's millions of feet high?" Kiina laughed. "I'll look smaller than an insect to you from up there. We all will. And you'll have about as much in common with us as we do with Scarabax Beetles."
Mata Nui put a hand on her shoulder. "I won't forget you, Kiina... or my promise. I will get you to a new world. Once, I made the mistake of ignoring others because they weren't part of my mission, taking for granted they would always be there to do what I needed them to do. If I had paid more attention... well, a lot of bad things wouldn't have happened."
He then smiled. "But amid all the bad, some good came out of my mistakes. I met you and the Heroes of Light."
Kiina then hugged him. "Don't make me cry… I'm a Glatorian. We don't do that."
Mata Nui then pulled away after a few moments. "You had better go. This is going to be dangerous."
"I can stay and help. You might need me."
Mata Nui shook his head. "Go, join Ackar and Gresh. Tell them… tell them thank you. I've seen many worlds, but you showed me one I had never discovered… the world of friendship and faith and trust."
"Rose…" Sabrina looked at her sadly.
"Mommy, I'll be fine."
"I know…" Sabrina quietly said as she knelt down and hugged her. "Just… be safe, alright? I don't know what I'd do if I lost you…"
Rose looked at her and smiled. "I'll be fine." She said, kissing her on the cheek. "I know it's dangerous, but I've dealt with dangerous things before."
As much as Sabrina hated to admit it… she was right. She dealt with dangerous situations before and held her own just fine and god dammit, she also hated to admit that Rose was growing up too fast, something that she didn't wish to happen. "You're growing up too fast…"
Rose giggled. "I'll still be fine."
Sabrina smiled and then kissed her on the forehead. "I know you will." She said, hugging her tightly… but she couldn't help but feel as if Rose would get seriously hurt.
"So, this must be your huge dream. Controlling a robot!" Neptune said.
"Well, not actually controlling it… but I'm so excited that I'm actually in one!" Nepgear squealed.
"Just be careful, alright? I don't know what I'd do if I were all by my lonesome!"
Nepgear giggled. "Got it!" She said and hugged her sister.
Asuna said nothing, but she was hugging Yui. "Mommy? Is something wrong?"
"No, nothing's wrong." Asuna smiled sweetly at her. "Just be safe, alright?"
"I will!"
"It's farewells like these that make me emotional!" Anime tears were going down Meowth's cheeks.
"I know!" James said as all three of them, including Wobbuffett, were crying anime-style as well.
"Woooobbaaa!"
They soon walked out and rejoined everyone, and Sabrina had to fight every ounce of her body to go back and aid Rose… in her mind, Rose was prepared… but her body wanted to go in and pull Rose out for her safety.
After all, what kind of parent would she be if she let her six year old daughter be inside a humongous robot? She wanted to…
No…
She needed to go get Rose.
Her feet started to move… but then Riku put his hand on her shoulder. "I know you're worried, but she'll be fine."
Sabrina looked at him. "Can you blame me for being worried? I don't know why you're so calm about it!"
"Hey, if she could hold her own in those worlds without us, then I'm pretty sure she can hold her own inside a gigantic robot."
"I know, but… she's been traumatized one too many times! Her brother's soul was taken by the Chaos Kin, Necrosan killed her sister, I was killed by Mephiles… let's not forget about what happened in the Datascape! I know she can handle things on her own, but I can tell that my little girl needs her mother more than anything!"
Riku could see and hear the distress from his wife, as tears were threatening to escape her and he then pulled her into a hug. "I know, but we can't always be there for Rose… no matter how much we want to."
Sabrina teared up, and hugged him tightly, as tears streamed down her cheeks. "God, I hate it when you're right…" She sobbed a little.
"Hmm…" Professor Jacob looked in his bag. "I know I have something around here somewhere… aha!" He then pulled out a few… Mega Mushrooms?
"Are those Mega Mushrooms?" Natsu asked as Sabrina pulled her eyes away from Riku's chest to see the Mega Mushrooms.
"Well, let's just say I had Plague Knight experiment on these a little, for these are not ordinary Mega Mushrooms."
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"Let's just say when you eat these, you'll be at the exact same height as the Prototype Robot that the girls are currently in." He said. "27,000,000 feet tall to be exact."
"HOW TALL?!" Natsu yelled as Sarge overheard this.
"Can I have one of those? I want to see the look on Grif's face when we find him." Sarge chuckled devilishly.
Professor Jacob laughed. "Sure." He nodded and tossed him one and then looked at Sabrina and Riku. "I know what you said, but I'm worried about Rose too." He said, tossing them two Mega Mushrooms. "You can be by your daughters side."
"…Jacob, you didn't have to do this…"
"I know, but someone has to be by that little girl's side besides Team Rocket, Yui and Nepgear, right?" He asked, winking at them while Natsu and Yang looked at each other and smirked.
"Hey, give us one of those too!" Yang requested as she and Natsu caught them.
"Oh hell yeah!" Natsu smirked.
"Might as well do it as a safe distance." Sabrina said as they called out their Pokemon and told them what they were doing.
"Grenin!" Greninja saluted.
"Drap!"
"We'll hold down the fort." Kyurem said.
"Thank you." Sabrina smiled as the five of them took off while carrying the Mega Mushrooms.
Back in the robot…
Mata Nui hesitated… but he had to do it. He feared an explosion that would destroy then all if the Power Source was too much and they wouldn't survive the explosion and he put his hands forward, fearing the worst.
But, luckily, no explosion, much to his relief… for now for he feared there could be one later, but he had to do it and so, he reached for his mask… and began to pull it off, and to their shock, his body disappeared.
"Whoa!" Yui exclaimed.
"Did he just disappear?!" Meowth exclaimed.
But luckily, he was still there for he was in the Mask of Life… and now if only he could figure out how to transfer his body inside the robot. Surely, it'd be so simple, right?
Well, it took a little while… and the world began to spin after he began to think of transferring his body inside the robot, he felt like he overdid it and was somewhere in space, but when he finally came around, he realized he was seeing in the robot's eyes.
He had done it!
And now… it was time to get up and move, and he slowly did so.
Outside the robot…
"What in the name of…?! Look at that!" Ackar exclaimed as he pointed to the giant robot before them slowly rising, and adding on to their amazement, five figures slowly proceeding to grow.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" Gresh yelled.
"Okay, these Heroes of Light always continue to amaze me!" Kiina said. "How are they growing like that?!" She wondered, unaware of Jacob chuckling.
"So, how are we going to communicate with them?" Gresh asked.
"It's worth a shot, but…" Ackar raised his sword up in the air and using his new powers, he fired a stream of light to get their attention.
"Well done, Ackar…" Mata Nui spoke softly… but even as he spoke softly… it felt like his voice was a sonic boom and everyone… wouldn't be prepared for when Natsu would open his mouth. "Tahu could not have done better."
"Who's Tahu?" Kiina wondered.
"Maybe some Glatorian we don't know." Gresh said.
"MATA NUI! CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Ackar yelled.
"There's no need to yell. I can hear you just fine." Mata Nui said… and then when Natsu opened his mouth… they immediately covered their ears.
"WAHOOHOOO! I'M HUMONGOOOOUS!" He yelled.
Well, if voices couldn't break mountains, Natsu's voice would definitely break a few mountains with just his giant voice, luckily, those who were inside the robot were in the safety of not getting their eardrums shattered.
"Phew…" Nepgear sighed with relief.
"I had a feeling mommy and daddy would help." Rose giggled.
"HEY SIS! DON'T BE AS LOUD AS NATSU!" Ruby yelled.
"I won't." Yang smiled.
"That's gonna be impossible. Those two are like related when they're pissed off." Weiss said.
"Tell me about it." Ruby nodded.
"Strange… my shotgun grew with me. I don't know how it's possible, but I like it!" Sarge grinned.
"So, how does it feel?" Riku asked, looking at Mata Nui.
"It's…different. I've almost forgotten what it's like to be a robotic body… in many ways, I might add."
"You'll get used to it." Sabrina said and she tried to look in his eyes to wave at Rose, but she couldn't see her, but she waved anyway.
"Hello~!" Rose giggled.
Mata Nui looked at everyone else. "Get to shelter. I don't know if what I'm going to attempt will work, or what will happen if it does. I need to know you're safe before I begin."
"Shelter? What shelter?" An Agori asked. "Aren't you wearing our shelter?"
"There are caves nearby. We'll get everyone to them." Ackar said.
Later…
After realizing that they were safe and Mata Nui calling out all to Bara Magna to get to safety, he looked up at space, specifically at Bara Magna's two moons, Aqua Magna and Bota Magna, for they were all part of one planet, Spherus Magna. Recreating this world meant bringing three planets together again and fusing them together.
He raised both arms while the five giants were watching, and he unleashed energy to try and bring them together, but did he have enough strength to reunite them? He was about to find out.
As soon as he proceeded to do so… something eclipsed the sun. "Guys…" Yang got in a fighting position.
"We know." Sabrina said as she and Riku summoned their Keyblades, Sarge cocked his shotgun, Natsu's fists burst into flame… and Mata Nui stopped what he was doing and prepared and then a humongous robot landed on the ground, creating a humongous crater and earthquakes.
"Hello, brother. I thought it was time for a family reunion."
Teridax… has arrived.
Back in the caverns…
"WHAT… IN THE HOLY HELL… IS THAT?!" Tucker yelled.
"Wow, that one's bigger than all six of them!" Neptune exclaimed.
"That's Teridax." Jacob said.
"THAT'S TERIDAX?!" Kiina yelled. "We have to go help them. Now!"
"Wait!" Gresh stopped. "We need a plan… and I have the perfect one!" He grinned.
"…Gresh has a plan. I'm not sure if I should be intrigued or scared." Ackar said.
"With all things considered, I'd go with scared." Kiina told him.
Back with the giants…
BGM: This Glittering Band (Halo 2 Anniversary)
"Silence, brother? No threats? No vows for revenge? You disappoint me."
"I don't need to do any of those things, Teridax. I don't need to prove my power in useless combat with you, either. We don't need to fight."
"No, of course we don't. You could just lie down with these pathetic Heroes of Light and die right now."
"Who are you calling 'pathetic', tin can?!" Yang growled.
"I know the truth now. The Great Beings wished for us to work together to save this planet. Bara Magna was once part of a larger world, Spherus Magna, that shattered into three pieces. We're meant to heal it."
"Heal it? HA! Don't make me laugh." Teridax folded his arms and looked directly at the five giants. "Well, you've gotten bigger the last time we've met at the Citadel. It appears your other friends didn't."
"Well, we have our ways of growing big." Sarge said, cocking his shotgun. "Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to blast your head off!"
"Oh ho ho, is that so, you pathetic excuse of a Spartan? Your shotgun will not take me down, you idiot."
"Insubordination!" Sarge aimed it at him, but Natsu put his shotgun down.
"You make me sick just looking at you. I want to destroy you for what you've done over those years." Natsu growled.
"Is that a fact?" Teridax smirked. "What do you Keyblade Wielders have to say?"
"That we'll take you down… you will be a message… that we're not afraid of the Malevolent Seven." Sabrina declared.
Teridax smirked. "We'll see about that. In fact, I have a better idea. Why don't you all join me with the Malevolent Seven? We can take down this universe together. We'll have to power to decimate any universe in the way! We could rule all of reality as we know it!"
"Like hell!" Yang shouted.
"I have a destiny to fulfill. A reason for existing. You have nothing, Teridax. You are nothing."
"Indeed. Let me show you what I think of your… destiny!" He smirked, firing lasers at all of them, causing them to cry out in pain and make them stumble a little, getting dangerously close to a mountain that held everyone.
"If he hits us again, we'll crush everyone!" Yui shouted.
"Well, we gotta do what we can!" Nepgear said as Mata Nui laid out a punch, hitting him in the chest.
"Ooof! Not bad…" Teridax smirked, as Sabrina used Curaga on them.
"Since you won't listen to reason, I'll speak to you in the language you understand!" Mata Nui said, firing a laser at him to knock him away, and then Sabrina and Riku used a Dark Firaga together to knock him away, Natsu and Yang both punched him and Sarge shot him.
"Argh…!" Teridax chuckled and then he fired lasers at them again before pinning Mata Nui down to the ground and firing lasers to knock the others back. "Who knew you had such a temper? But you seem to have forgotten… an entire universe of beings devoted to you… Toa Heroes, Matoran Villagers, and more… live inside of me. Damage me… and you may kill them." He smirked.
"Bastard!" Natsu growled.
"You sick son of a bitch…" Yang growled. "Now what do we do?"
"Aim for the head." Sabrina said. "I'm pretty sure no one lives in there."
Teridax then noticed the mountain while pinning down his brother and then smirked. "Ah… you're more concerned about the people! How… predictable!" He said as he got back up and just…well, took a step. "I am surprised at this new level of concern for the little things that scurry across the lands. You never seemed to care very much about those whose work kept you alive. And yet, here you are, trying to be the hero of the Bara Magnans."
He then picked it up with his own gravitational force and smirked at the heroes, as it rose dangerously high enough to kill everyone in there. "Shall I drop it? What do you think they will feel if the 'heroes' in their last few moments of life? Will they die cursing out to all of you?"
Yang's eyes widened, for if he were to drop that mountain… That would mean her team… and her family would be killed. "You…" She got back up, growling and her eyes glowing red. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" She yelled.
"Ah ah ah! If you move, I will drop it on them!"
"You would really do that, wouldn't you?" Mata Nui asked. "Kill all of those innocents just to prove some warped point? You're a fool! That body does not make you a giant. Stand 40 million feet high, or 100 million, you are still an insect."
He aimed his hand directly at Teridax and shot him, hitting him and knocking him over and then acting quickly, he aimed at the mountain and shot a laser, with the help of the Dragon Slayer as it was incinerated instantly.
"Go! Now!" Natsu ordered as they quickly took off to find other shelter and they glared back at the giant.
"Impressive…" Teridax said as they helped Mata Nui to his feet. "But not impressive enough, brother. I knew very well that your robot will fail soon… and I can just as easily speed up the process, making it exhausted!"
"Like we care about that!" Yang shouted, jumping and punching him in the head to knock him back while Natsu jumped up.
"FIRE DRAGON'S… IRON FIST!" He yelled, punching him directly in the head, but to their surprise… it didn't leave a dent, but it did weaken him a little as Sabrina and Riku ran over and slashed him while Sarge shot him again, this time at the head.
It was then they noticed the moons started to drift away from the planet. "No!" Riku exclaimed.
"Yes. I will make this planet suffer along with you!" Teridax smirked and then to their amazement, they saw something exiting his body and they were going straight for everyone else.
"What the hell are those?" Natsu asked.
"Rahkshi, specifically Rahkshi of Heat Vision… along with a certain someone named Nektann and the Skakdi." He smirked.
"You coward…!" Mata Nui growled. "Using your men to attack the others while we're distracted?!"
"They are a worthy sacrifice."
"I hate to break it to you, Mata Nui… but we only have an hour left before this whole body shuts down!" Rose exclaimed.
"Then we have to hurry up and-" Teridax suddenly fired lasers at him. "ARGH!"
"Hey!" Sarge exclaimed, but they were soon knocked down by the lasers from Teridax as Mata Nui tried to get back up.
"By right of power, I claim this world!" Teridax said, hitting them a few times and weakening them severely, as he put a foot on top of Mata Nui and smirked. "Bara Magna… is mine!"
End BGM
Meanwhile, in space…
"Whoa! We're definitely missing all the fun!" A certain Hell Raven exclaimed, riding on top of something, as it growled in response.
"Yeah yeah, I know. We finally found our friends." She said. "Well, some of them."
The creature nodded.
"So, shall we go help them defeat that huge robot?"
The creature let out a roar, as it if it was saying 'yes'.
"Then let's go help 'em, Godzilla!" The Hell Raven cheered and Godzilla, as Super Godzilla, picked up the pace, ready to go destroy Teridax.
SKRRREEEEEEEEEOOOOOONNNNNGK!
Weren't expecting Utsuho and Godzilla now, were ya?
