Ch.33 Ultimecia and Epilogue
X-23 jumped back as Psylocke came down at her with a blade made from her psychic energy. X-23 knew that Psyloke was being controlled but she wasn't sure on how she was going to free her fellow mutant without killing her, however Psylocke wasn't making that easy.
X-23 let out a sigh. "You die, not my fault." She said as she went in for the attack. Psylocke followed the mutant with her eyes as X-23 circled around her. Just before Psylocke could start to attack X-23 vanished.
Psylocke looked around but couldn't find her. X-23 had literally turned invisible and now Psylocke was at her mercy. Suddenly X-23 appeared behind her, her adamantium claws extended to their fullest. "Bye-bye." She said.
However before she could stab Psylocke in the back of her head, they both were covered in black mystical energy. She turned to see Raven floating towards her and she held Ryoko captive as well with her energy. "Laura, you're not supposed to kill her. Her mind is not her own." Raven told her.
"Hey, I didn't start this fight, but I was going to finish it." X-23 said as she retracted her claws.

Morrigan and Felicia rolled across the dirt. Both covered in scratch marks from their battle. Morrigan pinned Felicia down, but Felicia quickly kicked her off and rose to her feet. Morrigan chuckled. "I'm going to enjoy sucking you of your life energy." She said.
"I'd like to see you try." Felicia growled, flashing her fangs.
Morrigan raised her hands up and sent several columns of bats into the sky. Felicia jumped to the right and ran forward. She curled into a ball as she barreled into Morrigan, quickly uncurling at slashing at Morrigan with her claws. Morrigan dodged some but not all as Felicia came up with a clawed uppercut. Luckily Morrigan dodged faking like she had been hit, which allowed her to perform an aerial backflip and kicking Felicia away.

Azula growled as she rose to her feet, she was going to make whoever hit her pay. She quickly spotted them, a young man and woman who were talking to Jacob. She smiled as she threw her fist forward and fire raced in their direction. However it was intercepted about half way by a wave of water. Azula turned to see Katara running towards her, her arms covered in water as she lashed out at the fire princess.
"You! But I killed you!" Azula said.
Katara said nothing as she stayed on the attack. She did recall how she narrowly avoided the lightning, by luck. She had jumped away into the mist a few seconds before Azula released her lightning, fooling Azula into thinking she had won.
Azula dodged the first attack but was hit from behind as Katara hit her with a water whip. Katara hit her with such force, it sent Azula rolling back across the ground and into a wall of debris. Katara smirked as she watched Azula slowly get up, still suffering from the recoil of Katara's attack.
Azula looked over to Katara, her hair had unraveled and her face was dirtied up. "Don't too excited over a lucky shot." She growled. "I've been nice with you up until now, but I'm done playing nice. It's time to die peasant!" Azula roared as she ran over to Katara, and Katara ran over to her, both ready to end the fight.
They stopped suddenly as huge thunderclap sounded overhead. Both looked up to see a huge rift in the sky begin to open up. The rift began to grow larger as a humanoid shae figure emerged from it.
"What the hell?" Azula said as she observed the phenomenon.
The figure landed on a skyscraper, and looked out over the city, the world she was going to destroy. The witch had been freed from her prison that she had unknowingly placed herself in. Still she was happy to be free and she couldn't wait to express this same feeling with everyone and everything.
The witch wears a skin-tight red gown with a plunging neckline that extends to just above her crotch, exposing her neck, chest, stomach and abdomen, and only partially obscuring her breasts. A black collar extends down the neckline to her waist; the collar rests over her shoulders and covers the junction of her black feathered wings. The dress has a short train, which drags along the floor, trimmed either similarly to the collar, or torn and frayed and made dirty, suggested by her dirty bare feet. Long red sleeves with large prominent shoulder pads join with her taloned hands, which are purple in an ombré gradient. The witch's exposed skin (face, torso and legs) is tattooed with lined patterns. She wears a gold necklace, earrings and hair jewelry among a headdress designed to pull her hair up to resemble horns; silver bangs are left to frame her face. The witch has yellow eyes surrounded by purple eyeshadow and she wears deep red lipstick. She appears to have no eyebrows and has tattoos instead. She wears no footwear, instead walking barefoot, and although the witch has a human appearance, her toenails resemble a beast's claws.
She looked down when she heard Blackfire laughing. "At last you are free Ultimecia. At last you can deliver your promise unto me. With your fantastic power reshape this world with my dear Morrigan as its new ruler."
Ultimecia scoffed at Blackfire's request, causing Blackfire to crane her eyebrow. "Fool. I did not have you free me so you could further this worlds descent into chaos. I had you free me so that I may compress all of time, space and all of existence into nothing! A place only where I will remain." Ultimecia said.
"What? You promised me in return for your freedom, a kingdom in this world." Blackfire reminded the witch.
"My dear, I'm a witch. Manipulation is what I'm good at. Allow me to show you, the past, present and future ends here." Ultimecia told her.
Ultimecia held up her hands a circle appeared beneath her feet. The circle was comprised of glyphs written in an unknown language. Within the circle five lines emerged and formed a star. Then Ultimecia moved the spell towards Blackfire, who jumped out of the way, only for the sell to track.
"There is no running from this pain." She said and with a wave of her hand detonated the spell. Before detonating the spell grew twice its size engulfing Blackfire. Several pillars of light erupted from it shooting up vertically striking Blackfire.
The Tamaranean cried out in pain, before falling to the ground. Morrigan quickly appeared next to her. She was hurt, but luckily the wounds were not fatal. 'I knew releasing her was going to bring nothing but trouble, and yet I did nothing to stop it.' Morrigan thought to herself.
She looked over to the other remaining members. "Well what are you waiting for? Go get her!" Morrigan ordered.
Black Star charged in with Ryoko leading the charge. Ryoko charged an orb in her hand, that turned into an energy lance. "You're going down!"
Ultimecia smiled, and waved her hand stopping Ryoko, but more importantly stopping time. As she stopped Ryoko the world around them did a complete three-sixty. Ultimecia walked past Ryoko and waved her hand once more. Time resumed but for Ryoko it seemed like nothing had happened at all.
Ryoko looked to see the witch was behind her. "How did she get behind me?" She asked.
Ryoko took a more careful to see she was surrounded by arrows made completely from Ultimecia's dark energy.
"How's this?" Ultimecia asked her and before Ryoko could move Ultimecia pierced her with the arrows. "Right through!"
Ryoko's body hit the ground and just lied there. Ai Enma who was watching the battle stood as she surveyed the witch.
"Miss are you going to intervene?" One of her servants asked.
"She cannot be allowed to destroy all of existence. Doing so would mean that I would be out of a job." Ai replied.
"But you would be free from it as well." The second servant said.
"Freedom means nothing, if you do not exist to enjoy it." Ai said and flew off towards the battle field.
Kim and the others watched as Black Star tried to contain Ultimecia but to no avail. Azula, Juri, C Viper and Morrigan rushed her as Ultimecia charged dark energy in her right hand. She floated back as she pulled her right arm back.
"Deep despair." She said before throwing the ball of darkness at the group. They scattered but the ball of energy was pulling them back towards it. Luckily it detonated before it drew them any closer, however the shockwave was still powerful enough to knock them around.
"Her power is amazing." Starfire said. "Are you sure we have a chance against her?"
Her answer came in the form of Ai Enma as she flew over them and towards Ultimecia. The witch turned to face Ai. "It appears that my next foe is a mere child. Why don't you run on home." She told her.
Ai responded by shooting black energy at Ultimecia who side stepped the attack. "Seems you show a little promise, but not much." Ultimecia said.
Ron and Jacob walked up as the others watched Ai continue her fight. "Hey it's that girl from before." Ron said.
"You know her?" Kim asked Ron as she cradled Shego in her arms.
"Kinda. She's a member of Black Star. She tried to get me to send Shego to hell, using a voodoo doll."
"Voodoo doll?" Tiara repeated.
"Yeah, it was a totally creepy experience." Ron said with a nod. "Still for sending someone to hell, you have to give your soul to hell as well."
"Her powers are fantastic aren't they?" Blackfire said. "The ability to send a person to hell through revenge is simply astounding. In some ways I'm jealous." Blackfire finished.
Starfire immediately grabbed her injured sister by her tattered cape and pulled her closer. "Sister this is your fault, and I suggest you fix it." Starfire warned her.
"What can you expect me to do against a witch that can control time. She is the one who freed me from the prison you sent me to. The pressure there was so great that it took all my strength just to get my finger to budge." Blackfire said. "Now that she has her powers back, she's virtually unstoppable."
"Can't we just have Ai send her to hell?" Ron asked.
Blackfire shook her head. "It's not that simple. You need the seed of revenge implanted in your heart, and hate burning in your soul. Only then will Ai carry out your revenge."
Just then Icy, Stormy and Darcy all in their Disenchantix forms appeared in front of Blackfire. "What took you three so long? I need you to cast some type of spell that can slow that witch down." Blackfire told them.
"I'm sorry but we don't take orders from you anymore." Icy said with an evil grin.
"Now that we have her on our side. Power is now ours to obtain." Darcy finished.
"We're through with you." Stormy added on.
The three witches charged up their attacks, as they prepared to finish off their former leader, when Starfire and Raven stepped in the way.
"All though my sister deserves a fate far worse than this, I will not allow you to kill her." Starfire said as her eyes and fists came to life with green energy.
"I can take these two." Darcy said.
"Right, we'll assist our new friend." Icy said.
While the witches made their move, Ai's battle with Ultimecia continued. Ai dodged the arrows launched by Ultimecia and flew towards her. She knew there was a certain range around the witch she had to avoid. Ai had already figured out that even though her opponent controlled time the range only seem to extend to a certain radius around her.
'If I get to close I'm done for. I just hope she can't extend that range or we're all in big trouble.' Ai thought to herself.
They circled around each other trying to hit the other with long ranged attacks. Ai made sure to keep her eyes on the witch at all times, unless she wanted to end up like Ryoko. However while focusing on Ultimecia, Ai did not see the bolt of lightning coming her way and was struck by it.
Icy and Stormy flew in. "We got this. You just go and do your thing." Stormy told Ultimecia.
"You're too kind." Ultimecia said as she said as she flew up higher into the sky.
She was quickly intercepted by Raven. "Not gonna happen. Not while I'm around."
Ultimecia smiled. "You're a brave kid, but I can sense your fears, and I know your deepest thoughts. You fear that you wont be strong enough to fight him off. Your father, Trigon. You fear that you'll be swallowed whole by your inner demon." Ultimecia said catching Raven off guard.
"Let's bring those fears to life." She told Raven and used a spell to conjure an exact replica of her but with a red cloak, and four red glowing eyes.
"Amazed that's not all I can do." Ultimecia said as her gaze shifted towards Ryoko. "I shall even control fate."
Soon Ryoko's body rose and slowly turned to face the others. The arrows in her body dissolved but her wounds remained, and her eyes were glossed over as well.
"How is she still standing? I'm pretty sure she was done for." Chun-li said as she watched the space pirate move slowly.
"She's controlling Ryoko. She has that ability to invade the minds of others weaker than her, and make them do her bidding." Blackfire said. "Right now she's her puppet."
"How do you know that?" Katara asked Blackfire.
"It's what she used to free me from that prison." Blackfire said as she nodded towards the portal that loomed above them.
"You knew how dangerous she was, and yet you still released her?" Kim said to Blackfire, her tone carrying a hint of anger.
"It was because I knew how powerful she was, that I released her. I needed her power." Blackfire said.
"Look can we talk about this after, we have defeated her." Jacob said interrupting a potential argument.
"We can't defeat her. I just restored her power to full strength when I gave her Team Go's blood sample. Now she can use her powers to manipulate time and space once more, we don't have much time left." Blackfire said almost sounding defeated.
"Well we're just going to have to keep fighting." Shego said.
Kim looked down to see that Shego's wound had fully healed, so she let her sit up. "There is no way I'm going to let some bitch ruin my weekend with yet another unoriginal world domination plan." Shego said.
"Are you ok Shego? Should you be moving around?" Kim asked her.
"I'm fine Kim." Shego said as she looked back to the red head. She then turned her attention to Blackfire. "You, we're going to settle this when it's all over. However for now I want you to gather your remaining members who can still fight and we're all going to attack her at once."
"And why should I take orders from you?" Blackfire questioned Shego.
"Because I've had enough of your shit, and I'm literally five seconds from kicking your ass up and down the block." Shego replied. She walked up in front of the group and watched as Raven dueled with a copy of herself. "Starfire you assist Raven. Jacob and Ron you'll distract her puppet. As for the rest of you target that witch, if you can't fly fire projectiles at her." Shego ordered.
"What if we can't fire projectiles either?" Cammy asked as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Then you provide back up. Make sure nothing happens to the strike team. If even one of us falls, then it's game over." Shego said.
With that said everyone did their parts. Starfire flew up into the air ramming into the red cloaked Raven. Jacob fired a few rounds at Ryoko with his M-4 catching her attention. Jacob and Ron proceeded to lead Ryoko away from the group, allowing the rest to fire at Ultimecia.
Ultimecia put up a barrier that shielded her from the attack. "This battle is a waste of time. Witness the power of time." Ultimecia moved her arms around in a half circular motion as a ball of energy formed in front of her. She spread her arms further apart as the ball grew larger and finished materializing. "This will be painful." Ultimecia said.
She shot the ball at the group below her. The attack moved at an alarming pace, luckily Shego used her Ex dash, to intercept the attack. Her fists glowing brightly she punched the ball of dark energy, her fist stopping the momentum of Ultimecia's attack. Shego knocked it away as it detonated into a nearby building.
Shego smirked seeing that her strength had returned in full. However her expression changed when she saw Ultimecia charging another ball of energy. "How underwhelming…." She said before launching the attack.
This one was just as fast as the other one, too fast for Shego to dodge. Just then a bolt of lightning intercepted the second attack. Everyone turned their attention towards the direction of the attack to see Azula, Juri, Morrigan and C Viper ready to reengage Ultimecia.
"You're outnumbered Ultimecia, it would be wise for you to give up." Blackfire said.
"Give up? Why when I planned this whole thing out. This was a result of careful planning and much patience." She said.
"What are you saying?" Kim asked the witch.
"That I chose this world, because it would be easy to conquer. I chose you all because you would be easy to defeat. No one is superior to me." She said as she held out her right hand. "I want you to revere me."

Ron and Jacob ducked for cover as the ground erupted around them. Ron covered his head with his arms as Jacob returned fire on Ryoko. "She's pretty persistent for a puppet." Jacob said.
"See I liked puppets better, when they weren't trying to kill me!" Ron exclaimed.
"Will you calm down; panicking is not going to help our situation." Jacob told him.
"Yeah? Well neither is your gun. It's not doing anything." Ron argued.
Jacob looked down towards his gun as he emptied and reloaded the clip. Ryoko wasn't taking any damage, and he was just wasting bullets trying to shoot her.
"Well what do you suppose we do?" he asked him.
"What all the great sidekicks have done throughout history." Ron said. "RUN!" With that Ron took off leaving Jacob with a puzzled look on his face.
"Sidekick?" He said to himself.
Ryoko's shadow fell over him causing him to look back. He agreed that running would be a good idea until he found a solution for dealing with the space pirate. Ryoko launched several energy orbs at Ron and Jacob causing the debris to shoot up all around them.
"You're the expert, what happens now?" Jacob asked.
"Right now we hope Kim and Shego can stop that witch before she stops us." Ron said pointing back to Ryoko.

Back on the battlefield Kim and the others fought valiantly against Ultimecia's might. She shielded herself as Katara bashed away at her shield with her water whip while Azula blasted away at it with her fire.
She dropped her shield, and moved to the side. "Destruction." She said as she held her arms out to the side with her palms facing skyward. She shot a barrage of small dark arrows into the sky, that quickly rained down onto her enemies.
"Take cover!" Chun-li said warning her comrades.
Kim stood there while the others sought shelter behind rubble. "Kim, don't be stupid get outta there!" Shego yelled.
Kim kept her calm composure as she held on to her swords. She took a deep breath and exhaled. She then began to deflect the arrows away from her everyone. The arrows scattered all around Go City, narrowly avoiding hitting those who lay unconscious after trying to save the city from Blackfire's assault.
"Not what I expected….However, I'm only getting started." Ultimecia said. She raised her hands up above her as she twirled around. In her hands a large object shaped like an axe's blade formed and she launched it at Kim. It clashed with her swords and pushed the red head back a bit, but she deflected that as well.
Ultimecia was slightly impressed with Kim's physical strength. But she is not unfamiliar with her type, but she supposed she should dispose of them, unless she wanted to lose her advantage. She looked up at the portal that she emerged out of; it was still sucking debris up into it. It would also be the very thing she would use to compress time with. She smiled to herself as she realized how close she was to achieving her goal.
"She's distracted, now's my chance!" Blackfire said as she flew forward.
"Blackfire!" Morrigan called out to her.
Ultimecia looked to see the Tamaranean flying towards her. Blackfire's eyes and fists were glowing as she raced up towards the witch. "I released you, I freed you, and you betray me? I have the power to send you back from whence you came and you're about to learn that the hard way!" She growled.
Unfortunately she was stopped dead in her tracks before she could get closer. She immediately stiffened as her arms were brought to her side. Ultimecia brought her closer as she smiled evilly at Blackfire.
"You talk big, but lack the power to back it up. Do you know what the difference between you and I are?" She asked Blackfire as she opened a small portal with her left hand and grabbed ahold of a lance. "I am the only one who is truly eternal." She finished.
She thrusted the lance forward towards Blackfire, however before she could be impaled, Morrigan intercepted and took the hit for her. Blackfire's eyes went wide as Morrigan's blood splashed across her face. Blackfire then watched as Morrigan slowly looked back towards her and mouthed the words "Sorry love, this is it" before her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fell out of the sky. Her body plummeted and crashed into the roof of a car, setting off an alarm.
Ai turned to look back, breaking off contact with the witches, to see what had happened. She watched Morrigan's body fall from the sky as she had become Ultimecia's latest victim.
"Don't look at her, look at me!" Darcy said as she came after Ai who vanished avoiding her attack.
Darcy was then blindsided by Stella in her Enchantix form as she blasted her with a sunbolt from behind. "You should learn to take your own advice." Stella said taunting her opponent.
"You stupid pixie, I'll rip you to shreds!" Darcy said as she regained her balance.
Blackfire could only hear the blaring of the car alarm as she looked at Morrigan's unmoving body. It was not supposed to be like this. She had made Morrigan a promise, but had given her something much worse.
"Reality is harsh, is it not?" Ultimecia asked. "She warned you of the potential dangers of freeing me. Somehow she could sense that my intentions were not something you would have found beneficial. She warned you, yet you ignored her. You only have yourself to blame." She told Blackfire.
Ultimecia watched as Blackfire tensed up. She began to tremble as if she was holding back her own tears. Ultimecia chuckled as she gazed upon the fallen succubus.
"Pain is the due a witch seeks." She said as she held her grip on Blackfire. "However, I am not a heartless monster. You both shall wither away obediently."
She returned her gaze to Blackfire, and she saw that her trembling had become worse. "Cry yourself into sorrow, because we both know that regret will not turn back time."
Blackfire suddenly bursted with energy and was able to free herself from Ultimecia's grip. Ultimecia moved back eyeing her carefully, she then smiled once more. "Come, I want to see how strong you are." She told Blackfire.
XX
Darcy vanished as she avoided Bloom's attack. Bloom looked around for her only for the witch to grab her from behind. "Night, night Bloom." She said.
But before she could end Bloom's life a giant vine sprung up from the ground and wrapped around Darcy, and freed Bloom. She looked down to see Flora in her Enchantix form smiling. "Well, what do you know, I guess I can use my powers."
"That's one down." Stella said. "Now we just have to deal with these two."
"They got Darcy." Stormy said.
"No matter, all we just have to do is stall for time, and let Ultimecia do the rest." Icy said.
"Can you really be that Oblivious? She is going to destroy everything in existence, that includes you three." Bloom said.
"Or have you not be been hearing the words that have been coming out of her mouth." Stella said.
"Shut up. I don't expect goodie-goodies like yourselves to understand the complex mind of a witch." Icy replied.
"Fine suit yourselves." Stella said and they flew towards each other at full speed.
XX
Raven and Starfire were having a hard time with Raven's inner darkness, now that it had been brought into the light.
"It's no good, she's too strong." Raven said.
"Nonsense." Starfire said. "She is a part of you, you have control over her. Not the other way around."
The evil Raven laughed. "Ha! Foolish words from a foolish girl. Face it, you'll never be strong enough to beat me, or your father." She said.
Raven's eyes widened at the mention of her father. Starfire quickly intervened though. "Do not heed her words. Cast away your doubt, and she'll disappear as well." Starfire told her.
At that moment the evil Raven flew towards Starfire, with intents to silence her once and for all. Her hands were glowing with energy, but she was stopped by Raven, who reached out with her mystical energy and swatted her darker half away.
"I won't let you hurt my friends." Raven said.
"Yeah? I'd like to see you try!" the darker half said and she flew in once more.
Raven was ready, and she grabbed ahold of her darker self, with her mystical energy in the form of a raven's talon. Her dark half struggled but could not free herself from Raven's grip.
"You were only stronger than me, because you made me doubt myself. But I have friends now. Friends that look out for my well-being, and as long as I have them, there is nothing I cannot accomplish." She said to her darker self.
"But will it be enough to stop Trigon?" Her darker half asked with a dark chuckle.
"I'll worry about that when the time comes, as for now. You're going back where you belong." She said.
Raven's darker half cried out as she was completely absorbed back into raven once more. Raven took a deep breath and exhaled, as Starfire flew over to her. "Raven, you did it!" She said with complete joy.
"Yeah, thanks to you." Raven responded. "But now we have bigger problems." She said as her gaze returned towards Ultimecia.
Both women watched as Ai flew in towards the witch who was battling Blackfire, and they flew in right behind her. All three had one thing on their mind: Stopping Ultimecia.
XX
Blackfire had managed to hit Ultimecia in her face, since she not only had to dodge Blackfire, but the attacks of everyone else as well. Blackfire jumped back as Katara, reached up with her waterbending. Ultimecia put up a shield, to avoid getting hit, just as Azula had funneled her electricity through it.
Seeing that it had no effect, Katara quickly froze the water covering Ultimecia's shield, allowing Blackfire to break it. Blackfire's starbolt slammed into the witch hitting her gut and pushing her back. Ultimecia gripped her stomach, feeling the pain coursing through it.
Blackfire smirked, but it faded when Ultimecia spoke again. "You should be honest with yourself. You are another victim of time, or did you think your reign would last forever?"
Blackfire growled as her fists charged up with more starbolts. Suddenly an explosion of energy hit Ultimecia from behind. She cried out as she was hit in her wings, and she quickly landed on the street below.
She looked up to see Raven, Starfire and Ai arrive on the scene. "Hmph, your timing couldn't be worse." She said.
"Everyone! Blast this bitch back to hell!" Shego ordered.
Everyone that could fire a beam did so, only for Ultimecia to stop time once more and move out of the way. The attack exploded on the far side of the city sending shockwaves across the state.
"How could she still have so much power left?" Kim said obviously growing tired with each plasma bolt she threw.
"Everyone stay clear of her. She can manipulate a certain radius of time around her. If you get caught in it, you are as good as dead." Ai warned them.
Everyone took her advice and moved back. "I think that's the most I'd ever heard you say Ai." Blackfire said. "Got any more helpful tips?" She quipped.
"Hmph, so you figured out my ability did you? Well you are only half right. I can manipulate only a certain radius around me. However I can extend that radius whenever I please." Ultimecia said causing a shocked look to appear over everyone's faces.
"Let me show you the power of a witch." Ultimecia said, as she raised her hands up.
The ground began to shake, and caused some building to crumble. Everyone looked around as they struggled to stand up.
"What is she doing?" Cammy asked as she temporarily lost balance.
"Look at the sky." Katara said.
They all looked up as the sky began to literally crack. Pieces of it fell and shattered into oblivion, allowing the portal above to grow larger. Ultimecia laughed as she began to compress time and space into the portal. Everything inverted. What remained of the sky turned a dark yellow as the stars and moon became black lights in the sky. The buildings turned blue with black tinted windows.
"I have to stop her." Raven said as she funneled more energy from within. "Azarath…Metrion….Zinthos!" The dark energy traveled towards Ultimecia, as Raven planned on smothering the witch with it.
"Come Griever!" Ultimecia said, as she dispelled Raven's attack.
A roar could be heard as a giant creature emerged from within the portal. The creature resembles a giant, anthropomorphic lion-like creature with a pair of wings, crimson blade-like protrusions on his arms and horns on his head. His skin is deep purple with crimson patterns. He has white hair or fur on his head and parts of his body, and his wings are bat-like, yet have white feathers instead of leathery membrane.
"Unreal." The witches said as they observed Ultimecia's true power.
"We were right to side with her when we did." Stormy said.
"Fate does not smile upon you, I'll make you regret having met me." She said. "I hope your dreams are sweet as you fall into eternal slumber." She said as the area between Griever and herself began to warp, pulling them together.
"You plan to oppose a witch? You plan to oppose me?" Her voice could be heard. "You suppose you can change fate? This is not a game. One cannot escape the chains of time!" She said as Griever's left arm emerged from the distortion.
"Time…" She said again as Griever's right arm emerged.
"It will not wait…" She said as her left foot emerged from the distortion.
"No matter… how hard you hold on…." She said as her right foot emerged next.
"It escapes you… and…" She said as her head finally emerged from the distortion.
Everyone gasped as Ultimecia pulled herself out from the distortion completely. Her top was merged with Griever, and it was almost like she was wearing it as a coat. The top half of Griever's head covered her face, only showing her mouth. Her hair flowed freely down her back and was as white as Greiver's. Her wings which were particularly damaged by the earlier back attack were replaced with Griever's wings. Her arms were crossed in front of her, concealing her exposed breasts as Griever's muscular arms unfolded at her sides. Her stomach was still visible, but her upper torso was now covered in Griever's skin. The bottom half of her red gown still remained as an extension to Griever.
"Everything is an illusion. Your hopes, your friends, your life itself shall fade. I am Ultimecia. Time shall compress…All existence denied."
"What the hell? She fused with it?" Azula said.
"Time to show you my true power. The power of junction." Ultimecia said and she lifted up into the sky.
Everyone watched as she rose above the city and Griever's arms spread out to her sides. At that moment the debris that was being sucked into the portal was being drawn into her body. As well as the stars and planets. They were being compressed and sucked into Ultimecia.
"She's starting the time compression." Ai said.
"Fuck!" Shego exclaimed. "Blackfire when this is over I am so kicking your ass."
"You make it sound like we have a chance." Blackfire said.
"Of course we do. As long as we're still breathing we have a shot at taking her out." Shego said.
Kim nodded. "First things first. We have to stop her time compression."
"Already on it." Raven said. She flew up as she chanted her incantation. "Azarath…Metrion…Zinthos!" She said.
The attack slammed into Ultimecia, pushing her back, but stopping her time compression. "Fine you have my attention. I'll compress you all first." She said.
The ground beneath began to crack as it rocked back and forth. Cars immediately began to fly up, followed by any other loose debris. Suddenly Ultimecia uprooted part of the city, primarily where Shego and the others were and began to pull them in towards her.
"Shit! She's sucking us in. Somebody do something." C Viper said as she tried to grab ahold of something and fight the pull towards Ultimecia.
Starfire shot a starbolt at her that Ultimecia blocked with her wing. "I am more powerful than you. It would be wise to just give up." Ultimecia said.
"Like hell I will!" Shego said. She jumped up into the air using the compression to gain momentum. "You're through!" She said as she charged her fists with her plasma.
Ultimecia smiled. 'At this rate she'll be compressed in no time.' She thought to herself.
"That's right keep smiling! You wont be for long!" Shego roared.
Unbeknownst to Shego a wall of debris was coming up from her right and blindsided her. She was knocked away from Ultimecia and caught by Starfire. Shego watched as the wall of debris was compressed into nothing as it was drawn into Ultimecia's body.
"Damn, that was too close. I would have been done for. Thanks for the save Star." Shego told the Tamaranean.
"It was no problem. I just wish I could say the same about her." Starfire replied.
"Starfire look out!" Blackfire said to her younger sister.
Starfire moved as everyone barraged her with their energy attacks. The attacks were quickly drawn into Ultimecia, and hit her before it all could be totally compressed. Once again, her compression was stopped. Allowing Blackfire, Juri, and C Viper to launch Chun-li, Cammy and Felicia up towards Ultimecia.
They collided with her and began to barrage her with kicks and punches. Hoping to knock the witch from the sky, Cammy jumped up off of Ultimecia's shoulders and came down hard with a kick.
"Talon Spike!" Cammy said.
Chun-li kicked off of Ultimecia and performed a back flip. And brought her hands together. As Felicia brought her clawed hand up raking it across Ultimecia.
"Kikosho!" Chun-li said as she announced her next attack. She blasted Ultimecia with a giant sphere of energy, which hit the witch multiple times before knocking her down into a partially destroyed building.
The three women landed on the ground next to the others. "Good job, now let's finish her." Blackfire said.
Once more they all charged up their energy attacks and blasted the building containing Ultimecia. It erupted in one big ball of fire, and they cheered as they were assured that she did not have time to escape.
"We definitely got her that time." Katara said.
"I'm not so sure. It didn't feel like we hit her." Kim said.
"What do you mean? There is no possible way she could have survived that." Blackfire interrupted her.
"Oh, no." A voice said. They looked around but saw no sign of the witch. Her voice sounded as if it was coming from all directions.
Suddenly light shone from underneath them. Shego recognized it instantly. "It's a trap!" She said warning the others.
She grabbed Kim and jumped out of the circle that had formed underneath them. The others followed after her all except for Katara, Felicia, Chun-li, Cammy, and Raven. Before they could make it out of the circle, it erupted in a fiery explosion.
"Absolute denial! End of existence." Ultimecia said as she reappeared from the shadows.
Kim and Shego looked out to see that while the women were not dead, they were severely injured. "Shego we have to do something soon or they'll die."
"I know princess." Shego said, but she was out of ideas. They threw everything into that last attack, but it still was not enough to put her down. 'I don't know if we can actually beat her. Maybe this is it.' Shego thought to herself as she surveyed the area.
Just then the ground around them exploded, as Bloom, Stella and Flora crashed into the ground. The three witches followed soon after as they hovered above them all.
Icy turned to face Ultimecia. "You mind being more careful. You almost caught us with that attack of yours." She told Ultimecia.
"Hmph, your services were never required." Ultimecia replied.
"What?" Darcy said. "You can't just throw us aside, like we're some piece of garbage."
"Watch me." Ultimecia said.
Ultimecia launched several of her bladed axes at them, which the three witches easily avoided. They followed up by launching projectiles of their own. Ultimecia brought up a barrier that blocked their attacks and shot hundreds of dark arrows at them. Darcy acted quickly and made duplications of herself to take the hits, allowing Stormy and Icy to move forward.
When Stormy and Icy emerged from the smoke Ultimecia greeted them first. Smacking them with Griever's arms and knocking them into the ground.
"You see. You are powerless against me. However fear not your time is at an end." Ultimecia said.
"We'll see about that." Icy said as she flew up with Stormy, and Blackfire. Darcy flew forward to as they planned to barrage the witch.
Ultimecia laughed as she flew back some while she brought Griever's hands in front of her. She began to glow with energy of her own as she quickly parted her hands. "Time!" She said as she caught the women. Once again performing a three-sixty with the environment.
With them trapped, she hit them with a ball of dark energy. Immediately she slashed them with Griever's left arm and in doing so tore a hole in the dimensions.
"Time." She said again and flipped the area inside the tear causing it to do a one-eighty. She took a few steps towards them. "Playtime is over." She said as she quickly disappeared from in front of them and reappeared behind them. Also in that time she had surrounded them with hundreds of dark arrows. "Eternal sleep." She said as she flipped the dimension once more with a wave of Griever's left hand. In doing so the arrows plunged into Blackfire and the witches, and was followed by a detonation of dark energy. The shockwaves that emanated from the tear blew everyone back and covered them in rubble.
Ultimecia stepped out and closed the tear, trapping them inside. "Well that takes care of that." She said. Ultimecia looked around and saw that everyone was knocked unconscious from the shockwaves. "What a boring outing this was." She said.
However before she could start her time compression, Kim and Shego rose to their feet. They were covered in cuts and bruises, but that was the least of their worries. They looked up to see Ultimecia land a few feet in front of them.
"Still alive I see. I must commend you. I haven't seen anyone with this much promise in years. Now stay still I promise to make this painless." The witch told them.
"Shego." Kim whispered.
"Yeah." Shego whispered back.
"I think I have her figured out. She can't defend herself when she's trying to compress time, and she can't stop time while being constantly attacked. Listen, do you think you have enough energy left for one more attack?" Kim asked.
"Yeah, I'm good for at least one or two more bursts." Ok then we have to settle this in two attacks." Kim told her.
"Ok so you'll distract her, and I'll go for the final blow." Shego advised.
"No, I have the genetic enhancements needed to deal with this. As long as you can keep her from stopping time, I'll be able to get in and out with little to no damage." Kim said.
"Are you sure?" Shego asked.
"I've done the calculations over in my head several times. It's the only way." Kim replied.
"Kim, she can control fucking time. I don't think any type of calculation can factor in on that." Shego protested.
"Shego think about it. Every time she has stopped time, it was in a limited range, and she was a good distance away. She needs time to gather the energy to stop it. Now I'm not saying that she probably can't stop time all together, but we've never given her enough time do so, and she has spent too much energy to do so anyway. I'm even willing to bet that last move she did spent a lot of energy." Kim explained.
"That's one hell of a bet princess. You know what happens if you lose that bet." Shego said.
Kim nodded. "Worst case scenario we die, and she destroys everything. Knowing that, I will not allow myself to fall. There's too much at stake." Kim said as she stared down the witch before them. The world was practically falling apart, as cracks continued to run across the inverted sky. Also the portal above them continued to slowly eat away at their dimension.
"My brothers Tim and Jim. My father, Nana, Uncle Slim and Joss. My friends and my loved ones. They'll all die if we fail here. I don't know about you, but I liked how we were before all of this nonsense." Kim said.
Shego smiled. "You got a point. So how about I take you out to dinner after this?" Shego proposed.
"It would be a nice change of pace. Pick me up around seven?" Kim asked.
"Sure, I know a place, that makes the best Italian food." Shego answered.
"You're too kind." Kim said flaring up. "After you." Kim said to Shego.
Shego flared up her plasma full force and thrusted her hands forward. She let loose a beam of plasma.
Ultimecia side stepped it. "This battle is a waste of time. A waste of my time." She said. "Drown in deep despair." She said as she threw down an orb of darkness.
Kim and Shego recognized the attack, and moved further away as it tried to pull them back in. However Kim and Shego were far enough away that they wouldn't be affected by its gravitational pull as well as the following explosion.
"Damn it, I can't keep her pinned down. Kim you have to do something." Shego said this.
Kim nodded and ran towards Ultimecia. She jumped into the air, catching the witch's attention. However what she did not see was Shego charging up another plasma blast. Shego hit Ultimecia full force, and did not let up. This allowed Kim to come from behind the witch and land several blows to her back.
Ultimecia groaned out from the combined assault of Kim and Shego. While Griever's hands were occupied with Shego's plasma, Griever's wings were free to knock Kim back a little. Kim rushed in and struck Ultimecia's wings when she tried the same tactic again.
Ultimecia felt her wings go numb. 'Damn her, she made my wings useless. I can't fly away.' She thought to herself.
Kim drew out her sword. "This is the end!" She shouted as she ran the blade through Ultimecia's chest and through her heart. Ultimecia cried out in pain as Kim pushed the sword through.
"Kim move!" Shego shouted. Kim jumped out of the way as Shego poured the last of her energy and increased the power of her plasma. It engulfed the witch completely and the only thing that could be heard was her scream.
When Shego was done, there was no sign of Ultimecia to be found. Kim and Shego looked at each other and smiled. Tired and exhausted they ran towards each other and embraced one another.
"We did it Shego! We beat her." Kim said.
"Yeah we did, in record time too. That last attack took what remaining energy I had left." Shego said.
Kim nodded. "Me too." She said.
Suddenly the ground beneath them shook. "What's going on? Don't tell me she's still alive?" Shego groaned.
"No worse. We're falling." Kim said. "We were being held up by her power, and with that power now gone we're plummeting down quickly." She looked around. "Shego, we have to grab the others."
"There's too many, for us to carry in our condition. We'll never make it to all of them in time." Shego said as she picked up Starfire, and Raven.
Kim had Katara and Felicia, and she spotted Azula and Juri not too far away. She walked over to them as she placed Katara and Felicia on her shoulders. She reached down to grab Azula, when the ground gave way, and they fell through.
"KIM!" Shego called out. However Shego suffered the same fate, and fell through the crumbling city block.
The next thing she knew she was encased in a green light. She looked around to see someone fly in and do the same for Kim.
'What the.' Shego thought.
"Looks like we made it just in time." She heard a voice say. She turned to see John Stewart behind her.
"Green Lantern?" Shego said. "What are you guys doing here?"
"The League had to split into several teams to deal with the crisis going on all over the globe. We're just now cleaning up the last of Black Star's forces. Since my team was the closet we decided to head over and give you guys a hand." He explained.
"I'm glad you came when you did. A little later and we might not be having this conversation." Shego said.
Shego watched as the rest of the city block crumbled out of the sky and crashed back down into Go City. She even spotted the restaurant she wanted to take Kim to. 'Well so much for our dinner plans.' She said in her thoughts. Though only part of Go City was destroyed, it was starting to remind Shego of Middleton. She was at least thankful that nobody else had to suffer anymore, now that they had finished off Ultimecia.
That landed soon after that and Shego ran to Kim to check on her. She was talking to Hal Jordan, the other Green Lantern that had rescued her. "Kim! Are you ok?" She asked her.
Kim nodded. "I am, thanks to Hal. I'd hate to think about what could've happened."
Superman and Powergirl landed as well carrying the other members of Black Star as well as the reinforcements sent in by Wade. "Are they going to be ok?" Kim asked.
"They have some bruises, and cuts but nothing to life threatening." Powergirl said. "I'm more worried about you two. You guys look worse for wear."
"Give us some time to heal, and we'll be good as new." Kim said with a reassuring smile. She looked around and clapped her hands together. "Right, well there are others out there that still need our help. Wonder Woman, Storm and everyone else most likely need our help."
"Let us… help." They heard a voice say.
They turned to see Bloom, Stella and Flora, getting up, clutching either their arm or chest in pain. Kim shook her head. "No, you guys rest up. Once you are healed, you can help round up what's left of Black Star." Kim said.
"Sis!" Another voice cried out.
Shego looked back to see her four brothers running onto the scene. The Wego's reached her first and tackled her to the ground. "Shego we're glad that you're ok."
"I wont be for much longer, if you keep squeezing me so tightly." She said.
"Sorry." They both apologized.
"So is it over?" Mego asked.
Shego nodded and gave him a faint smile. "It's over."
She looked up to see that the skies inversion faded, and returned to its regular self. The stars shone brightly as did the moon as it hovered above the city. However Shego did not like the fact that the sky still had cracks in it.
'Come on, close you stubborn bastard.' She said in her thoughts. She followed the cracks with her eyes and saw that the portal that Ultimecia emerged from was still open. She began to get a bad feeling about the whole situation.
"Any one of you, got an explanation for why that hole is still in the sky?" John Stewart asked.
"Maybe it's an effect of the Pansdimensional Vortex Inducer." Kim commented. "If we find it and close it, the portal should close."
"Sounds feasible." Hal Jordan said. "So where do we start looking?" He asked.
"No need for that." A feminine voice added.
"You're ok!" Kim said with a wide grin as Wonderwoman walked onto the scene with Mystique's body draped over her shoulder, and the Pansdimensional Vortex Inducer in her right hand.
"Wait a minute. Deadpool was there too, where is he?" Shego asked.
"When I came too, here was nowhere to be found. It is possible that he could have been buried beneath all that rubble." Wonderwoman proposed.
"That idiot. I always did tell him, he'd get himself killed one day." Shego said as she lowered her head.
"What about Ron? He was with us as well." Kim asked.
Wonderwoman shook her head again, signaling that she had not seen him either. A fact that saddened Kim greatly.
Wonderwoman tossed the canister to Kim, who caught and immediately shut it tightly. Kim looked up to see that the skies appearance had not changed and the portal remained open.
"It's still open…." Kim said.
"Well let's figure out a way to close it before something else comes crawling out." Superman said.
They all nodded and Superman, Powergirl, and both Green Lanterns flew up to closer inspect the portal. Suddenly they were caught in a massive explosion. They fell to the ground unconscious, leaving the others stunned. Suddenly Kim's sword hit the ground right in front of them.
"You should have fled when you had the chance." Another feminine voice added.
Everyone eyes widened with shock as Ultimecia stood above them. Next to her were the unconscious bodies of Blackfire, Icy, Stormy and Darcy. Ultimecia, right arm cradled her stomach, as her left arm hung to her side useless and had blood dripping from it, signifying that it is broken. Her left eye was closed shut and her outfit had tears and rips in it. She was also sporting some more fresh cuts on her body that blood flowed freely from.
"How is she still alive? I stabbed her through the heart, and she was incinerated by Shego's plasma." Kim questioned.
"I must admit you seem to have much resolve. I had to sacrifice Griever in order to escape that assault. Luck was not on my side for a while; however it is no longer on yours as well." She said. "You're tired, exhausted, and while I may not have the energy to compress all of existence. I still possess enough of it to compress this entire planet." She threatened.
"She's bluffing." Shego said. "She just wants us to believe that, she's no better off than we are at the moment. You're on your last legs Ultimecia! If I were you, I'd back off!"
"Don't take pity on me!" She shot back. "I will not accept this. Ugh…Not yet!" She said as she looked up at the portal. "You shall fortify my powers…."
She rose up into the sky and Kim immediately came after her. "I wont let you!" She said as she jumped up, but Ultimecia backhanded her and sent her crashing back to the ground.
'To think I would be pushed to the brink of death again.' Ultimecia said in her thoughts. 'I was lucky the last time. I thought that I had met my end at the hands of a foolish and his friends, but instead I unwillingly trapped myself in another dimension, with the last of my powers.' She continued to think. 'But now. Now I have a second chance, and I will not allow time to repeat itself!'
"Time Compression!" Ultimecia said. She once more began to compress time, but this time it was occurring more rapidly. Buildings broke apart, the rivers flowed upward and even the stars themselves were being sucked into her body.
Wonderwoman jumped into the air, she was going to put an end to the witch's plan here and now. She cocked her right arm back and then swung with all her might. That's when Ryoko reappeared with both Ron and Jacob in each of her hands.
Wonderwoman stopped her assault, because she did not want to injure innocent lives. Ultimecia laughed. "You all are just pawns of a god. It is my will that everything be destroyed. Whether you learn that hard way is totally dependent upon yourselves."
"Shit, she's using them as shields." Shego growled. "We can't get to her without hitting Jacob and Ron."
"Not true. We can distract her." Stella said.
Bloom nodded. "Yeah, we can still fly." She added.
"Ok, look we don't have much time. Hego, I need you, Mego, the twins and Kim to share your energies with me. Your combined might will give me the energy to blast her into oblivion." She said. "You three wait for the signal." She told the fairies.
Ultimecia watched as Team Go and Kim surrounded Shego. They then began to funnel their remaining energy to the pale woman. "It doesn't matter what you do. You're too late to stop me!" She said from above.
"It's never too late. Not as long as we can still fight." Shego said.
"You will resist fate?" Ultimecia asked.
"For as long as we draw breath. As long as we still live we'll fight whatever we have to!" Kim said.
The energy flow suddenly increased, and instead of flowing completely into Shego, it began to funnel its way to Kim and Team Go.
"What's happening?" Mego asked.
"I-I don't know." Hego answered.
'No!' Ultimecia said in her thoughts. 'Their stubbornness, their will to fight is activating their hidden ability. I have to finish my compression before they unlock the comet's power fully.' Ultimecia finished and she forced her body to hasten the compression.
"Ryoko!" Ultimecia said as she called out to the mind controlled space pirate. Ryoko reacted by throwing both Jacob and Ron towards Team Go, and then rushing down after them. Wonderwoman caught them, but it was a distraction, which allowed Ryoko to fly past her and head straight for the others.
Bloom, Stella and Flora tried to intercept her, but Ryoko phased right through them. She immediately created an swarm of energy orbs and launched them. However before the orbs could reach Team Go, a swarm of bats appeared and intercepted the attack.
Ryoko halted her movements which allowed Flora to catch her with one of her vines. The swarm of bats then reformed around Morrigan and became her wings. Morrigan quickly ran over to Blackfire's side. She kneeled down next to her as she sat her up.
"Come on, wake up. I said wake up." Morrigan said as she shook Blackfire.
Blackfire came to and smiled when she saw that Morrigan was alive and well. "You survived?" She said weakly.
"You should know it's gonna take more than that to keep me down." She said with a light smile. They quickly embraced each other, until several explosions went off behind them. They turned their attentions towards Ryoko who had freed herself from Flora's vines and had reengaged them in an attempt to stop Team Go.
Blackfire looked around to see the world literally falling apart. Most of the sky had been swallowed by the portal which had grown to gigantic proportions. If one was to view the effects from space, it would look the earth was disintegrating with Go City being its point of origin.
"I told you didn't I?" Morrigan said as they watched from the sidelines.
"I honestly believed that she would….deliver on her promise. You could have ruled…the world." Blackfire said.
"That's the thing; I don't want to rule the entire world. I only wish that you had listened to me earlier. Then again even if you had succeeded I most likely would have gone with it. But now is not the time to be thinking of the possibilities." Morrigan said.
Ultimecia laughed as she felt the compression nearing its completion. "Such impudence! Don't make me laugh. No amount of power you possess can stand up to the power of time compression!" She said through her laughter.
"Her voice is really fucking annoying." Shego growled. "I can't wait to shut her the fuck up!"
"Hey do you feel that?" Kim asked.
"Yeah now that you mention I do. It feels like- like." One of the Wego's said.
"It's done!" Shego said causing the others to look at her.
"Huh? How would you know?" Mego asked.
"You feel it too right? Like our powers have exceeded their normal limits. It's like we're overflowing with so much energy, that if we took in any more we'd probably burst." Shego explained.
"Ok, so how should we go about this?" Hego asked. "We could run interference, long enough for you and Kim to put her down for good." He offered.
"No we'd only waste our energy in trying such a foolish attack. Right now she's vulnerable. She can't move or defend herself, without stopping the compression. So we'll strike her together with one big plasma blast." Shego explained.
"That sounds like a good plan Shego, but she's not stupid. She'll drop the compression to save her life I'm sure."
"No she won't." Morrigan said. "I'll make sure she doesn't. I owe her one for earlier."
Morrigan flew up into the air, as fast as her wings would take her. Heading straight for Ultimecia. "Payback time!" She said.
Ryoko suddenly appeared in front of Ultimecia and went for a dive kick, but Morrigan quickly made a copy of herself and dodged the kick. The clone quickly performed a kick of her own and hit Ryoko in her back and knocking the space pirate out of the sky. Morrigan and her clone then turned into a swarm of bats, and encased Ultimecia.
"Is that all? These insignificant bats, cannot stop the compression." She laughed. She laughed more as some of the bats began to fade away as they were being quickly compressed into the witch.
Seeing that as their chance Shego, told Kim and her brothers to concentrate and focus all of their plasma into their hands. They did as they were instructed and their glows became extremely bright in the cover of night. Then their glows changed color altogether. Their separate glows became black like the night sky. Also if one looked closely they could see a small portion of the universe itself inside of their newfound glow.
"Our glow. They've changed." The Wego's said.
"It has to be the power of the comet, its true power." Hego added.
"Then let's put it to good use." Shego added.
They all nodded as they raised their hands up towards Ultimecia. They released a unified beam of black plasma towards her and Morrigan. Morrigan sensed the attack coming, and quickly scattered the swarms of bats revealing Ultimecia. Ultimecia was no longer laughing as she saw the beam was racing towards her.
"Not enough time to dodge, it's too fast!" She exclaimed.
Luckily for Ultimecia, Ryoko was still under her control. Ryoko phased in and was going to intercept the attack and die for Ultimecia. However Blackfire had other plans in store for Ryoko. Blackfire raised her right hand, and fired a starbolt with what little energy she could muster. The starbolt raced alongside the black beam, and struck Ryoko and removing her from acting as Ultimecia's shield.
"Let that be a lesson….to those who dare…betray me.." She said.
"NO!" Ultimecia screamed out before being impacted by the beam. The beam carried her up and into the portal in the sky. "Was I…..defeated? How…..I control everything….. I lost…..I can't believe I lost…to the likes of you!" She said before the beam exploded inside of the portal.
Shockwaves rocked the whole earth, before the portal finally closed. When the portal closed everything started to return to its natural place. The water returned to the ground, and the stars took back their place in the sky above. Debris from the ruined streets and buildings rained down for several minutes before coming to a stop.
There, Team Go sat exhausted and drained of energy. Bloom and the others gathered around them, with cheers and praise.
"Thank Hera. You were able to pull it off." Wonderwoman said.
"Yeah, that was spectacular, what do you call that attack?" Stella asked.
Shego held up her finger signifying that she needed to catch her breath. "Its…a..work in progress…" She answered.
Wonderwoman gasped, which got a look and reply from the others. "What? What's wrong?" Kim asked.
"Shego's face. The green on her skin is gone." Wonderwoman responded.
"What?" They replied.
Shego grabbed a shard of broken glass and looked over it. Indeed the green tint to her skin had vanished. She looked over to her brothers to see that their skin had returned to its normal pigmentation.
"Did we lose our powers?" Mego asked.
"Hard to say?" Hego replied. "It kind of feels like it."
Shego removed her glove on her right hand and stared at it. She tried to activate her powers, but nothing happened. Before she could give it further thought, Kim spoke up.
"How are you feeling Shego?" She asked her.
"Spent. I could use several days of rest, after what just happened." She replied.
"So does that mean, we have to cancel our date?" Kim asked.
"I find it funny, that you can be so comical with the shape you're in princess." Shego replied.
Everyone decided to relax for a bit, and get what little rest they could for the moment. After several minutes they began to round up Black Star. It was time to send everyone back to their own dimensions.
While Kim and the others gathered the former members of Black Star, Flora had begun healing their comrades. It wasn't long before Katara, Chun-li, Cammy and the others were wide awake again.
"What happened? Where's Ultimecia?" Chun-li asked.
"Gone, for good this time." Flora responded.
Chun-li simply nodded and took that as some good news. She walked over to rejoin the others as they helped get everything set up.
"This is Wonderwoman to Watch Tower, come in." She said.
"Watch Tower to Wonderwoman, this Wade. Is everything ok down there, I lost radio contact with you all for a while?" He asked.
"Yes, we have Black Star apprehended and ready to be sent home." She replied.
"Right, let me just get everything set up." Wade said.
Wonderwoman nodded and disconnected, so Wade could get to work. It was around this time that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s helicarrier showed up. Nick and Betty surveyed the destruction from Team Possible's final battle.
"Have you ever seen so much destruction?" Betty asked him.
"Plenty of times. Considering what happened here tonight, I'd say they've done a great job protecting this city. We had few casualties, and the damage done can easily be replaced." He said.
Back on the ground Morrigan let Blackfire lay in her lap. Letting the Tamaranean rest and regain some of her strength before moving her. She looked up when she saw Kim, and Shego who were joined by the now conscious Ron and Jacob walk up to her. Morrigan put up her guard, because she knew what they were here for.
"You're here for her aren't you?" Morrigan asked.
Kim just simply nodded, affirming Morrigan's suspicions.
"Do you intend to fight us all by yourself?" Shego asked.
"I will if I have to." Morrigan answered.
"Why are you so loyal to her? She almost destroyed the world and you along with it." Kim asked the succubus.
"For the same reason you are so loyal to her." Morrigan said motioning her head to Shego.
"You mean, you and her?" Ron asked.
Morrigan merely smiled as she carefully caressed Blackfire's face. "I tried telling her, that this plan of hers was a bad idea. That nothing good could come from freeing someone as powerful as Ultimecia." Morrigan explained. "However people tend to do stupid things when they are in love. I suppose this was Blackfire's way of showing me how much she cared, by literally giving me the world."
"And if she were to succeed?" Kim asked her.
Morrigan shrugged her shoulders. "Don't know, I've always been about the here and now. Who can say how that would've played out if we had won." Morrigan answered.
Jacob stepped forth as he had a question for her. "You never had Lex to begin with did you?" He asked.
Morrigan shook her head. "No, we just tempted you with the possibility. There was no intention to deliver on our promise to you." She told him.
Jacob clenched his fists, as he turned to walk away. Shego was about to go after him, when they heard a crashing sound. Shego looked up as once again, cracks ran along the sky once more.
"No, no, why can't you just fucking die." Shego groaned.
"I will not fade….I cannot fade…." Ultimecia's voice echoed.
The helicarrier flew right under the cracks as Nick Fury tried to get a better look at what was happening. "Now there's something you don't see everyday." He said.
Suddenly a giant purple hand crashed through shattering a piece of the sky. "I will not disappear just yet!" Ultimecia said as she reemerged into the world. She had transformed yet again. Her overall appearance still maintained a humanoid shape but her face lacked any facial features and it was concave. The only thing on her face was a yellow orb. She still had the headdress that kept her hair resembling horns and still wore her earrings. Her neck and collarbone was beige in color and she had armor pauldrons around the back of her nack and on her shoulders. Her breasts were now exposed but were white with blue nipples. Her arms had a mix of blue and purple with red markings covering them. Her back had claw shaped wings that were a dark shade of purple. Her torso was bare and there was a hole where her stomach was supposed to be. As she pulled herself from outside the portal the bottom half of her red dress, was now darker in color and had streaks of black running through it.
"You have got to be kidding me. She's still alive." Kim said.
Shego threw her hand up in Ultimecia's direction as she planned to blast the witch with her plasma, but was reminded of her current state when her powers did not activate. Instead Bloom and Stella took her place and fired their signature attacks.
They detonated harmlessly against her face, and she swung her hand, creating a huge gust of wind that knocked them back. Ultimecia brought her hand right hand out and attempted to pull herself free of the portal, but she could not.
"What is the meaning of this?" She asked.
She soon found out that the portal was sucking her back in. "No, If I am to be doomed to an eternal hell in another dimension, then I'm taking you with me!" She roared.
She reached out for Shego, who made an attempt to run, but couldn't get very far due to her lack of energy. She tripped and hit the ground, sliding a bit. She turned over to see Ultimecia's giant hand about to grab her, when a shot rang out and struck the witch in her face.
She pulled back as she cried out in pain. "Didn't your mother teach you to keep your hands to yourself?" they heard a voice say.
Shego looked over to her right to see Deadpool walking up to her. "You're alive?"
"Of course I'm alive, why wouldn't I be?" He asked her. "I've been watching the whole time and man, did you guys get your asses whooped."
Shego's face immediately deadpanned. "What? If you were watching this whole time. Why didn't you help?"
"You never asked." He answered like it was obvious.
"You idiot, and to think I was actually worried about your sorry ass." Shego responded.
Ultimecia growled as she fought with the pull of the portal. This time she spotted Blackfire, and was planning on bringing her back where she belonged. However Morrigan intercepted her, and was grabbed instead.
"You wish to take her place, fine you'll do." She said as she began to let herself be pulled back inside the portal.
Blackfire watched as Morrigan was pulled away, as she struggled to sit up. Suddenly she was hit by a blast of black energy. The force was great enough to make her release the succubus and, Morrigan landed a few feet away from Blackfire. Ai reappeared and landed next to Blackfire who eyed the young girl.
"Ai I need to make a request. Consider it your last mission here." She said weakly.
Ultimecia realizing what Blackfire intended to do, found the strength to free herself from the portal. Once she did, she immediately scooped up Blackfire and crushed her in the palm of her hand.
Morrigan watched with wide eyes in horror, as Blackfire's life was extinguished and she cried out. However she too met the same fate as Ultimecia quickly silenced her as well. Everyone else began to step back as the witch turned her gaze upon them.
She laughed as she began to slaughter them one by one, cutting them in half, squishing them like ants, or blowing them to oblivion. She looked down as Kim and Shego were the only ones left.
"This is the end for you. You failed to stop me, a foreseeable outcome. However you did present me with worthwhile entertainment, so I shall make sure to remember your faces." She told them.
Kim and Shego watched in sheer horror as Ultimecia summoned thousands of dark arrows and surrounded the two women with them. Kim ran to Shego and embraced her. Telling Shego how much she loved her, and how much Shego loved her. The kissed for one last time, as the arrows impaled them, and covered their bodies.
Ultimecia laughed in triumph as she swung her hands and destroyed several buildings before she decided it was time to finish what she started. She began to start the compression again, and drew the universe and all of existence into her, and everything went black.
When Ultimecia opened her eyes again she noticed that her surroundings had changed. The sky was covered in a dark mist as four lights shone from above, casting dark light across the area. She looked around to see she was in a boat, and she sat up and looked out to see a river that candles floating in it.
She looked into the river and could see that she was in her original state. "Is this a trick?" She asked. She turned her head when she heard a creaking sound.
She saw that Ai was rowing the boat that she was currently in. "So she got me." Ultimecia said as she looked herself over. "Has time betrayed me? Or perhaps could I have won if I turned back time?" She asked. She sighed as she pondered her questions. "Perhaps this was fate." She said as Ai rowed the boat through to the gates of hell.
"This is vengeance…So I am to ferry you to hell." Ai said.

Back in Go City, Blackfire was left holding a red string in her hand and she released it into the wind. Soon the mark of hell etched its way onto her left cheek. They had literally watched Ultimecia go crazy. She thrashed about before impaling herself with thousands of arrows. However that was not the thing that had Kim, Shego and Jacob so shook up. Before Ai had banished Ultimecia to hell and returned home, she had shown them a glimpse of their futures. In those futures they saw a world practically devoid of human life, and they watched as they themselves fell prey to some unforeseen force.
Shego watched as her stomach was cut open and her guts spilled out onto the ground, her body following soon after. Kim's death was much worse. She was forced to watch herself be dismembered as her arm was severed from her body, before being impaled in her chest and cut in half.
In Jacob's vision he was running through some corridors with a white haired woman. Sounds of an alarm blaring echoes throughout the building he was in, and he manages to reach Tiara. He tells Tiara to keep her safe, and Tiara takes the woman and flees the area. A roar is heard and Jacob turns to face the beast that was chasing them through the dark corridor. Suddenly the building was engulfed in a mushroom cloud as shockwaves rocked a destroyed city.
They were taken from their thoughts as Ron and Tiara approached them. They were ready to round everyone up and send them back home. Kim and Shego nodded as Kim helped Shego up.
The first ones to go back was Bloom, Stella, and Flora. They had Icy, Stormy and Darcy wearing special cuffs that neutralized their powers.
"We appreciate the help, thanks for everything girls." Kim said.
"It was no problem. If you ever need us again don't hesitate to call." Bloom said.
Kim nodded. "I'll call you, beep you, whenever I need to reach you." She replied.
The fairies waved good bye as they carried the witches through and back to their world. Next up was Ryoko and Ryo-ohki. Ryo-ohki was back in her organic form and hopped into Ryoko's arms as they stared into the portal.
"Come on Ryo-ohki, time to head home." Ryoko said. She turned and looked back at Kim. "I'll be back for my rematch." She promised the red head and she stepped through the portal.
Felicia was up next, as they opened the portal that would send her and Morrigan back to their world. However Morrigan did not have plans to return.
"I've become quite fond of this dimension." Morrigan said as she held onto Blackfire.
"I don't care how fond of this place you are, you're leaving here." Shego told her.
"That's what you think." Blackfire commented before pulling out a remote. "We'll be back, you can count on it." Blackfire said as she pressed a button and a portal opened up.
However before Blackfire, could make her next move, a dagger knocked the remote out of her hand, and it landed not too far from Katara and the others. They all watched as Mystique limped onto the scene.
"You don't ever get tired of hearing yourself talk, do you?" She asked.
Blackfire and Morrigan found themselves surrounded, but Morrigan still had one trick up her sleeve. A swarm of bats appeared and covered the two women, and when the swarm vanished they were gone.
"They fucking got away." Shego said.
"Don't worry about them. We'll deal with them when the time comes." Kim said calming Shego down.
They turned their attentions back to Felicia, and the others and after saying their goodbyes Felicia returned to her own dimension. It was Chun-li and Cammy's turn next. "Let's go Juri." She said as she grabbed the Korean woman.
Azula watched as the portal opened and Juri and C Viper was pushed in front of it. Azula saw an opportunity and she smiled evilly. While everybody was so occupied with the happenings in front of them, Azula made a break for it.
She was able to remove her restraints and grabbed the remote that Blackfire dropped. She had carefully watched Blackfire operate it, so she knew just the buttons to press. She threw a wall of fire between C Viper, Juri and herself. She then proceeded to open a portal to her dimension. She smiled as an image of her palace appeared in the portal.
"If you don't want to be arrested, I suggest you follow me." She said as he stepped into the portal.
Juri and C Viper exchanged glances and Juri shrugged her shoulders and stepped through after Azula. C Viper didn't waste much time either. She opened her cell phone and it revealed a picture of her and her daughter.
'Mommy will be home soon.' She silently promised and she stepped into the portal too. The portal then closed behind them leaving Kim and the others behind.
"We have to stop them." Chun-li said.
"You're right but we'll go in after them." Kim said.
"Katara since it's your dimension it's your call." Shego told her.
Katara nodded. "I'll lead the way whenever you guys are ready to leave."
Kim and Shego nodded. "I'll come too." Jacob said. "They have something I need, and I intend on getting it back." He said.
"Thanks, but no thanks. You would jeopardize the mission." Kim said.
"Easy, princess. I believe Jacob has shown we can trust him to some extent. Right?" Shego said as she walked up to him.
He was about to answer, when Shego smacked him across the face. "What was that for?" He asked.
"That was for all the hell you put us through." She answered, before hitting him again. "And that was for smacking me back on Isla Sorna." Shego said.
"I suppose I deserve that." He said rubbing the sore spots on his face.
Kim turned to Ron. "Ron are you coming with?" She asked her best friend.
"Nah, not this time KP. I have to get back to Rufus. I left the little guy up on the Watch Tower before I left, and besides somebody is going to have to keep Tiara company." He said.
Kim nodded understanding that he had enough fighting for a lifetime. Which reminded her. "Can you have Wade, go over my weapons. Tell him I said please and thank you." Kim said.
Ron nodded. "Sure thing Kim, they'll be good as new by the time you get back." He promised.
With that straightened out, they had one goal. Retrieve Azula, Juri and C Viper before they could cause any more harm than what was already needed. Kim looked over to Shego, who brought her in close as she wrapped her arm around her, and reassuring the red head somehow.
They didn't know what awaited them in Katara's homeland but they knew they could conquer it, as long as they had each other.
