BGM: Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams (Kirby and the Forgotten Land)
"So, Kyoko. I'm curious about something. How many Remnant-born Ultimates have you found?" Sonia asked.
"I found a modestly good amount." Kyoko said.
"So what do we got? Ultimate Puppeteer? Ultimate Social Media Influencer? Ultimate Anime Enthusiast?" Ryuji guessed.
"Well… I did find an Ultimate Cosplayer." Kyoko responded. "Her name's Tsumugi Shirogane, and from what I've seen, her cosplays are a spitting image to the actual character. You'd have a hard time figuring out if it's her or the actual character. She even makes voice modifiers to make their characters sound exactly like them."
"Wow! There's dedication to their craft and then there's that. Impressive~!" Haru smiled.
"Indeed. She's gained quite a following on social media and tends to go to conventions in Remnant."
"So what's her semblance?" Nyx asked.
"Apparently, her semblance is called Mimic, where she gains anyone's abilities and powers for only a few minutes at a time. While she does cosplay video game characters, she tends to cosplay as anime characters."
"So she's a blue mage on a time limit?" Chiaki raised an eyebrow.
"Sounds like it." Hajime nodded.
What's a blue mage? Elfilin wondered.
"Ooooh, so we got video game powers from Chiaki and now we got anime powers from Tsumugi. Imagine if those two teamed up, they'd be unstoppable!" Yusuke said.
"I dunno… this seems way too good to be true. Do you have any video links?" Chiaki asked.
"I'll send you this video right about… now." Kyoko said, forwarding a link to Chiaki as she put it up on the visor of the X-Wing where she and Hajime watched.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Tsumugi cried as she was cosplaying as Naruto. "Rasengan!" She yelled, using it on a Grimm.
"Wow! That's her? Pretty impressive!" Hajime said.
"Mmm…" Chiaki shook her head. "I dunno, something feels off about this. It's all special effects, honestly. And that Grimm? Totally an actor in a suit."
"...No. It isn't true. It can't be. I refuse to believe it. Nothing but lies… Lies. lies, lies, lies, LIES!"
"Yes, thank you, Berkut!" Chiaki said.
"Sheesh, what's with the odd timing of the Pop Culture Tunnel all of a sudden?" Jade wondered.
"Perfectly timed jokes, that's what!" Deadpool said.
"She's probably faking it all and all her fans are eating it up." Chiaki continued. "Her fanbase probably has rabid fans that attack anyone who "dares" to have a rather differing opinion."
"Ah, so some folks who live in Nan's review section who seriously need to touch grass?" Deadpool chimed in.
"That, my dear girl, is what we call communism!" Soldier said, ignoring what Deadpool said.
"...Do you often hear what is coming out of your mouth?" Esdeath asked.
"All I hear are patriotic war cries!"
"That's a no…"
"So, any other Ultimates that stood out?" Iris asked.
"Well, there was this one that sounded interesting. A self proclaimed Ultimate Adventurer. His semblance allows me to climb on any surface without fail, even if said surface had moisture and makes it dangerous, his semblance makes him cling to it without worrying about slipping off."
"That sounds like Spider-Man." Sonia said. "Who is this young man?"
"Rantaro Amami."
Iris's eyes widened, lightly gasping. "R-Rantaro?!"
"What's wrong?" Jade asked.
"He… he lives on my island. We were close childhood friends… he actually tried to convince me to stay on the island when I was running away, but was unsuccessful… I haven't heard that name in a long time."
"By the way, what's the name of your island? I don't think you ever told us." Xena said.
"I haven't? I could've sworn I did… anyway, it's Lemnos." Iris explained.
"I've heard about that island." Bowser said. "It's famous for its wine making and it distributes all over the Mushroom Kingdom. Although, now that we're linked with Remnant, I can imagine the demand for wine has been a boon."
"Yeah, it has." Iris nodded.
Kyoko looked at Bowser in surprise. "You actually knew this? You seem like a whiskey kind of guy compared to wine."
"I was just about to say that." Dedede agreed.
"Hey, I can be cultured!" Bowser smirked, rubbing his snout proudly.
"There's more to the Koopa King than I thought…" Ryuji said.
"Hey! I'm a tyrant, not a monster. HUGE difference!" Bowser said.
"Says the guy who's literally a fire breathing dragon turtle." Futaba smirked.
"You're just jealous that you can't breathe fire!" Bowser said proudly.
"Ah yes, breathing fire. That totally makes you cooler than me." Dedede rolled his eyes.
"Jealous?" Ridley smirked, fist bumping Bowser.
"Note to self: Modify my body so I can breathe fire like the King of Awesome." Deadpool said, writing down on a notepad.
"I don't think your healing factor will allow that." Umber said.
"Hey! I can bullshit anything I want to, thank you very much!" Deadpool said.
"Way to go, buddy. It took us three days to make that potato salad. THREE DAYS!"
"Noooo! Don't jump! …Okay, now jump!"
"A ZOROARK?! REALLY?! THEY TEACH YOU HOW TO DEAL WITH ZOROARKS IN THE FIRST SEMESTER OF BORDER PATROL SCHOOL! YOU DIMWITS! YOU'RE USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! YOU'RE ALL FIRED! FIRED!"
"...The hell?" Nyx raised an eyebrow.
"Don't look at me. I dunno what's going on there." Umber shrugged.
"Uh… I need an adult."
"I am an adult."
"UUUUNGH!"
"By the way, I only hit you because I have pent up aggression from your father. Take that."
"Was that a little kid?" Esdeath asked.
"Yes." Deadpool nodded.
Esdeath growled. "When I find whoever did that…"
"We're coming up on our last stop here. I hope this is where Leongar is at." Chiaki said as they came in for a landing.
End BGM
"And here we are!"
Sniper pulled out his sniper rifle, looking through his scope. "Okay, I see the lab up ahead."
"Are there any enemies?" Shadow asked.
"Nope. It's just gonna be a long walk."
"Not unless you start running!" Scout took off running, but stopped with a few seconds. "What the…?"
"What's up? Usually you don't stop running for anythi-" Suddenly the whole area changed, interrupting Chiaki. "Huh?"
BGM: Final Haunt (Shadow the Hedgehog)
"This is unsettling…" Umber said as they looked around.
They would see Elfilis arriving in the New World. "Ah, this new world looks lush and filled with life and opportunity. The civilization here seems to thrive… I wonder if I could use some of their power."
He landed on the ground and proceeded to cause chaos amongst the planet, destroying wildlife and civilization… however, scientists surrounded him and managed to capture him with their technology.
"Argh!"
They would then see him in a glass tube with scientists examining him.
"Interesting… this creature's power has untapped potential! Perhaps we could use this for ourselves…"
"My power? What exactly do you want with my power?"
Electricity struck Elfilis.
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
"Madame! According to this, this thing has planetary warp power! We can probably use this for ourselves!"
"Fascinating… we could thrive on other planets with this technology…"
"You… you want my power to settle on new planets…? You would want to use my power for your own personal gai-"
Electricity struck him again.
"AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
"Mmmph!" Elfilin winced, where Chiaki instinctively pulled him close to her and held him in her chest.
"This is barbaric…" Mewtwo clenched his fists, looking completely unsettled by this.
They would then see Elfilis in a cage as a tour guide brought several tourists into the lab.
"And here we are! ID-F86! This creature started attacking our planet, but our scientists captured him and began studying the creature with planet-warping technology! We are currently in the middle of testing, but soon, we will begin to inhabit other planets."
Some tourists brought out their cameras and began taking pictures with flash photography. "Rrrgh!" Elfilis grunted, the blinding light bothering his eyes as he shut his eyes, but the flashing lights continued as more and more people started to take pictures of him.
"They're treating him like he's a zoo animal…" Sonia whispered.
"Poor guy." Akira said.
Elfilis sat in his prison.
"And here we are!"
"Mmm…"
"And here we are! And here we are! And here we are! And here we are! And here we are!"
"That infernal sentence…"
"ID-F86… Planet-warping technology…"
"Make it stop…"
Cameras flashed at him.
"Make it stop!"
"We're eighty percent done with this!"
"Hey, check this out! Apparently this dude has compassion."
"Compassion? Let's pull that out, see if we can learn anything about this compassionate side of his."
They would see them doing more experiments on Elfilis, and then they would see Elfilin getting out of Elfilis's body.
"Interesting! It's a small compassionate soul!"
"Eeek!" Elfilin yelped as he flew away as Elfilis roared before morphing into a small jelly blob.
"Wait, should we get him?"
"Nah, experiments run out of here all the time. I doubt it'll do anything to us!"
"Ninety nine percent! We're almost at the finish line!"
"And here we are… and here we are… and here we are… and here we are…"
"Make…"
"ID-F86!"
"It…"
"And here we are! ID-F86! …Planetary Warp technology…"
"Stop…"
Flash photography struck his eyeballs once more.
"As you can tell, we are using the planetary warp system that we are currently enjoying today! And we can all thank this freak of nature right here!"
"Make…"
"And here we are…"
"It…"
"ID-F86!"
"Stop…"
"Any questions?"
Several tourists flashed Fecto with their cameras.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The ground rumbled as the ground cracked.
"MAKE IT STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!"
They would see an explosion that engulfed the entire lab, killing everyone in the room as an alarm started blaring as he was put into an eternity capsule. However, that didn't stop him from brainwashing the wild life and proceeding to wipe out the remaining civilization on the planet… and within hours, civilization on the planet became extinct.
End BGM
"...Damn, talk about a trip." Deadpool said.
"I did not imagine it being that bad…" Meta Knight admitted.
"It appears we have something in common." Mewtwo said. "...However, thanks to a few Pokemon trainers and Mew, I was able to snap out of my wrath."
"Still…" Elfilin mumbled. "I was a part of him and we… sigh… I never wanted to invade worlds, but he had other ideas."
"Those scientists really make me mad…" Nyx said.
"I just want you to know, I'd never go zhat far!" Medic said.
"Says the guy who turned Ruby into a living science experiment." Bowser said.
"Well, nobody's perfect!"
"Perhaps we can talk some sense into him." Strange said. "It doesn't excuse the fact that he caused a mass extinction in this world."
"What, are you gonna bargain with Elfilis?" Deadpool asked.
"It's a long shot, but maybe we can reason with him."
"That's… I dunno, Strange, I feel like he's a lost cause even if we know his backstory." Raphael said, rubbing the back of his head.
"It's worth a try. It might not get anywhere, but it's something." Sonia said as they started to walk away.
"How about if I raze this place instead and pretend that nothing happened, huh? For old time's sake!" Ridley suggested but no one said anything. "...Well, it was worth a shot."
BGM: Eternal Echo of the Thrilling Tour-our-our (Kirby and the Forgotten Land)
"And here we are… and here we are…"
"Creepy…" Ann said as they walked into the lab.
"ID-F86!"
"We're almost there." Jade said as they walked along the destroyed hallway before going through the doors and finding Leongar trapped in a bubble where everyone gathered around him.
"This is it." Chiaki said, opening up a rift pocket and pulling out the soul pieces as Esdeath and Xena pulled theirs out as they all went into Leongar, where he soon dropped on the ground… but caught himself as he slowly stood.
End BGM
"Uuuungh… mmmph…"
"Poyo!" Kirby cheered.
Elfilin flew over to him. "Leon… are you okay?"
Leon? Chiaki thought.
"Mmmph…" Leongar, or in this case, Leon, rubbed his head and looked at everyone. He blinked. "Heck of a party to wake up to… what did I miss?"
Umber chuckled. "Oh, nothing much."
"I see." He nodded. "Well, I'm not sure how I got here but-"
Suddenly, his head started to hurt, causing him to flinch. "Mmmph! Rrrrgh…!" He clutched his head.
"Leon?" Elfilin wondered.
"I don't like this!" Mipha said as Elfilin moved back.
SAPR scanned him. "He's starting to lose control! He's becoming unstable!"
"Rrrrgh… aaargh… RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He roared, seemingly in pain.
BGM: The Raging Lion Roars (Kirby and the Forgotten Land)
Possessed Beast - Forgo Leon
"Looks like we're gonna have to knock him down." Kyoko said, readying her Hacking Gun.
"I'm ready to knock him down!" Bowser smirked.
"Defense and power matrix go!" Futaba exclaimed, powering everyone up as the Phantom Thieves went in their Thieves attire.
"Laura! You and your friends get to cover. This may get ugly!" Esdeath said.
"Right!" Laura nodded as LAFF and Logue went to safety as Leon unleashed shockwaves at the group, where they avoided them as the Jambastion sisters unleashed their fire/water/electricity at him while Hyness fired lasers with the help of Marx while Magolor threw his Lor Starcutter at him.
Leon snarled, getting on all fours and started chomping down at Chiaki and Hajime, the two of them dodging as the latter changed to Izuru and slugged him in the face together with Queen while Chiaki levitated off the ground, magic coursing through her hands and threw at him, then teleporting away as he swiped at her.
Leon turned around, roaring in agony as he unleashed a laser at them as Bowser and Ridley breathed fire to counter the laser, hitting said laser as they were at a stand still as Xena, Yagami, Penny and SAPR shot lasers into it to help the duo out.
Kyoko got on one knee, aiming her megaphone at him and fired Paralysis bullets into him, briefly paralyzing him as the fire breath and laser combo pushed it back and struck Leon as Hazel and Mercury both came in and punched/kicked him in the chin to make his head snap back as Deadpool jumped into the air, pulling out his guns and shot him before landing on the ground.
Leon snarled, getting on all fours again as he glared at Deadpool, who proceeded to pull out a red cape. "Toro toro! Come on!" He said as Leon leapt toward Deadpool, where he flipped the cape as a barrage of bomb arrows hit him to knock him back as both Nyx and Revali both fist bumped each other while Dante and Vergil slashed him as Umber jumped over behind the duo, taking out both Agni and Rudra as he quickly spun slashed him, catching Leon into a fiery tornado where Panther jumped in gracefully, manipulating the flames around her and fire heel kicked him in the gut to send him crashing to the ground.
"Aaaand this should do it…!" Adeleine said, finishing up her painting as a drawing of a Thwomp came to life and crashed down on Leon's head. He let out a grunt, clutching his head as Kirby flanked him and together with Dedede, the two of them Hammer flipped him to knock him back… right as Galacta Knight opened up a rift and unleashed a giant laser to strike Leon.
"Rrrrrgh!" Leon growled as he tried to hang on, only for Meta Knight and Dark Meta Knight to slash him, making him back up as Taranza made some webbing to trip him up as he fell to the ground.
However, before they could celebrate, Fecto emerged out of Leon and glared at them all… before he went back inside of him, where a dark cloud wrapped around his head.
"Rrrgh! Mmmph! Nnnngh!"
"It sounds like he's fighting it!" Donatello said.
"Come on, big guy, you can do it!" Michelangelo called out to him.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Leon's roar almost sounded like screaming. He hunched over, electricity coursing through him as he pounded the ground as a massive electric barrier launched toward them.
Laxus and Zapple swiftly got into position as the two of them stopped it as Zapple manipulated it while Laxus let his body absorb it, and to Zapple's eyes, it looked like he was eating it.
"Heh, thanks for the little snack." Laxus smirked.
…Dude, just when I thought you couldn't get any cooler! Zapple thought with a blush.
Leon roared in agony, firing a laser at him where Laxus unleashed a Lightning Dragon Roar to counter it as electricity shot out everywhere as Zapple lunged and electric punched him in the chest, with Kasen and Byakuren accompanying her, giving Laxus the chance to engulf him in electricity, then a torrent of water went around him as the Ninja Turtles leapt out and pummeled him in the head along with the Mercs shooting at him, then when the torrent of water dissipated, pumpkin bombs surrounded him and exploded.
"Nice use of that water." Jack complimented.
"Thank you. The pumpkin bombs were pretty well made." Mipha complimented back with a smile as Iris slashed him where Jade froze his legs with the ice element, where the Phantom Thieves used their respective elements to knock Leon back and was hit by Heatran's Magma Storm and a few Buffahorns slamming into him thanks to Gundham summoning them.
Leon snarled, swinging his claws to send shockwaves at them as Mewtwo blocked them and threw Shadow Balls at him while Strange created a portal and launched fire through the portal, hitting him as Daroach pelted him with bombs, the animal friends and Gooey tackled him, where Susie jumped in and punched him with her Business Suit, Sonia on top of her suit and firing a point blank rocket launcher on top, then Miko slashed him as Mamizou kicked him in the face right after.
Leon roared as loud as he could as Fecto appeared by his side and shot out powerful orbs of energy at him but Xena and Yagami stopped them as Esdeath conjured up an ice bow and arrow and shot him, only he teleported away and struck Leon instead as Shadow threw a Chaos Lance at him as well.
"Alright, let's finish this." Reimu said, pulling out a spell card as danmaku wrapped around Leon. "Fantasy-"
"NOT THIS TIME!" Fecto yelled, appearing in front of Reimu and shooting a point blank laser into her.
"AAAAGH!" Reimu crashed into the ground as Fecto's eyes glowed, trapping everyone in an aura that made them float.
End BGM
Leon roared, glaring at everyone as he let out an agonizing roar as he started to fire a massive laser at them… only for Palkia to slam into the ground and blocked the attack.
"WHAT?" Fecto yelled.
BGM: Battle! Dialga/Palkia (Pokemon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl)
Palkia got in his stance and let out his cry as Leon snarled, jumping into the air and clawing Palkia. He blocked with his arm and backhanded him away, then using Aura Sphere on him. Leon backhanded the Aura Sphere away.
Palkia stomped on the ground, unleashing Ancient Power on him and struck him. Leon snarled, throwing an electric punch at Palkia, but he caught it with his hand and threw him to the ground and kicked Leon away.
Leon roared, charging up his laser and fired at Palkia. He responded by unleashing Spacial Rend, cutting through the laser as Leon's eyes widened as the attack struck him as he was pushed into his throne, knocking him out.
End BGM
Everyone dropped to the ground right after as Mipha healed everyone up just in case.
"You… you… YOU FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLS!"
Fecto emerged from Leon, immediately turning color as tentacles shot out of him.
Psychic Beast - Soul Forgo
Strange immediately approached him. "Elfilis! I've come to bargain!"
"You?" Fecto scoffed. "You dare to bargain with me?"
"We've looked deep into your past." Strange began. "While it's horrific that you went through that hell, it doesn't excuse your actions on what you've done."
"You don't understand… I've been in that hell for a long time! Humans… they all think what's best for us. They think they can just walk all over us like the trash that we are!"
"Except you invaded this world."
"So what if I did!"
"Perhaps we can reach an agreement. Stand down now and reunite with Elfilin, let him take full control… and we won't have to put you down."
"Reunite with him and let him take control? My galactic conquest won't be realized!"
"Perhaps you could ease up on the conquest. I'm sure there's some unmanned territory in Remnant where you could take over and let part of that land prosper."
"Only Remnant? You want me to take over a small portion of that world? YOU WANT ME TO CONQUER A SMALL PART OF THAT WORLD JUST SO YOU CAN GET ME TO BEHAVE?!"
"Uh oh…" Elfilin whimpered as LAFF and Logue peeked in.
"Is it safe to come out now?" Magnolia asked.
"I knew this was a bad idea…" Raphael said.
"Hang on, let's see how this plays out." Leonardo said.
"Not conquer. You are misunderstand-"
"No! I'm understanding perfectly, Strange. You want me to behave, keep me in check and to make sure my vision won't be realized! You humans continue to control us! There's a reason why I made humanity extinct in this world and I will do the same with every world in this universe!"
Fecto shifted his eyes to Deadpool. "But why stop there? I looked into his mind… and apparently, there's a whole multiverse out there. I could conquer the entire multiverse, destroying any human in my way!"
"Uh oh…" Deadpool said.
"Humans aren't all that bad. Yes, there are a few troublemakers out there, but we're not all that bad." Strange reassured. "Let's all just take a breathe-"
"SILENCE! You have delayed your death for too long! I will kill all of you, take my compassion with me and I will destroy everything in my path! I WILL-"
Immediately, a butterfly flew into the room as it gently fluttered in front of Fecto's eyes. "I will-... I… I… what's this butterfly doing here?"
Galacta Knight's eyes widened. "Oh no…"
The butterfly landed between Fecto's eyes, and before he knew it… he was absorbed and then a knight appeared before them all.
Morpho Knight.
"Oh, hey, it's the beta form for Meta Knight." Chiaki siad.
"...The what?" Meta Knight looked at her strangely.
"Wait wait, what?" Nyx asked. "Didn't Galacta kill this guy at Jambandra or whatever that place was?"
"He may have sliced me in half… but I do not die so easily. For you see… I am Death. And I don't mean it metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or any other fancy way. I'm Death. Straight up! And I have come for you heroes."
"...PFFFFT! What a speech!" Ridley laughed. "You think you can scare us with your fancy words! Please, there's already a death that we know and he's from Castlevania! He doesn't scare me, so why should you scare me? If you think you can kill me… I can assure you, I don't die that easily!"
He roared and lunged at Morpho Knight, slashing him with claws as Morpho swiftly avoided the attack and then quickly impaled him through his chest. "Gragh!" He roared as the sword burst into flame… where they would see Ridley slowly get turned into orange ashes before evaporating instantly.
"OH MY GOD, THEY KILLED KENNY! Er, I mean Ridley! YOU BASTARDS!" Deadpool screamed.
"Shit, Samus isn't gonna like that…" Ryuji grimaced.
"Don't mind me, I'm just getting another minion. Thank you, Kirby Death~!" Hades said.
"Holy moly!" Dedede exclaimed.
Morpho turned to everyone else. "Anyone else want to do something stupid?" He asked as everyone froze. "I thought not."
"You've come for me, haven't you?" Galacta asked.
BGM: Shaded Truths (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)
"No, not yet. I've come for a select group of heroes who have cheated me in death." Morpho pointed his sword to Chiaki. "Chiaki Nanami. You were supposed to be dead, yet the universal reset brought you back to the world of the living. I wouldn't have cared if you just stayed in hell and hung out with Zagreus, but you escaped and by riding on Xerneas, he gave you and Junko another chance of living."
"So you've come to kill me?" Chiaki asked, her eyes turning red and her tattoos glowed. "I don't die easily. Not this time."
"Hmph. At least make it a challenge for me." He said and turned to Nyx. "Nyx Shadow. You were supposed to die after the Shake King magically punched you, yet Wario and Waluigi saved your life. That right there has angered me…"
"Ooooh, I'm sooooo sorry I defied your expectations." Nyx rolled her eyes.
Morpho Knight turned to the Ayami twins. "Xena Ayami and Yagami Ayami. You two should have died in the Bob-omb War, but it was the power of love and protection from your family is why you two stand today and now, you two have spun out of control and become powerful psychics."
"You say that like it's a bad thing." Xena said with a smirk as Morpho Knight glared, unaware of Kyoko's sharp gaze… and it was starting to get sharper the more he spoke.
"Penny Pollendina-" SAPR immediately put her arm out in front of her as she gave him a glare. "You were nearly killed when Galacta Knight impaled you-" Galacta Knight looked away in shame. "However, you were spared and were rebuilt."
"I got stronger too." Penny said.
"SAPR Pollendina… or should I say… R3-B7."
"Huh?" SAPR tilted her head as Penny's eyes widened.
"You were killed but the tech geeks revived you. What I want to know is why a robot is worth saving. Once they are destroyed, they're practically worthless and serve their purpose."
BB-8 angrily chirped in response, attempting to roll toward him but Chiaki pulled him away.
"I am not interested in your words, little robot." Morpho said, pointing his sword to Donatello. "Donatello. You were transported to a different time period where Shredder had taken over. Your brothers were killed, yet you survived a near suicide attempt to take him down."
"...Wait, you went where?" Michelangelo asked as Donatello clenched his fists.
"Never thought I'd hear that being brought up…"
"Dr. Stephen Strange. You have been killed time and time again when you were "bargaining" with Dormammu, yet you used the Time Stone to reverse your death… and as a result, you gotten stronger and smarter with your magic. I find this to be unacceptable."
Strange raised an eyebrow with an amused smirk. "That's what you're upset about?" He asked, unaware of Kyoko clenching her fists, openly gritting her teeth as her eyes were flittering with anger.
"The Mercenaries. You have cheated death over and over again… and regrettable as it is, I am letting you off the hook." He said. "Considering you have a "respawn", it would be tiresome if I killed you over and over again, especially when your doctor is concerned."
"Wow, I never thought the grim reaper would spare us like that." Scout said.
"Might as well keep our mouths shut if he changes his mind." Spy mumbled.
"Kirby! …I have been cheated out of a battle and I wish to fight you, just so I can finally assimilate you so I could finally have this power."
"Poyo?" Kirby wondered, thinking of all the times he's woken up to a butterfly on his head. "POYO?!" He immediately got in a battle stance.
"Umber Lightwave. At eleven years old, you stood up to Ultra Necrozma. He had put you through the wringer and almost ended you hadn't you pulled through in the end."
Umber raised an eyebrow. "You're upset about that? …Okay dude, whatevs. Be a petty Death."
"And finally… Kyoko Kiri-"
"SORE WA CHIGAU YO." Kyoko spoke, her voice sharp enough to even startle Morpho.
End BGM
"My forbidden action… that's why you're here for me, isn't it, Morpho Knight? I've listened to you rattle on why you want all these folks here dead. And every single 'grievance' you have with them gives me the impression you know the context leading up to each time Death was 'cheated'. In that case… would you say that the mastermind of the Final Killing Game should have been allowed to kill any of us in the Future Foundation? Would you say those who are put in any killing game deserve to be killed by their masterminds? Would you say that any murderer deserves to kill their victim if the victim were to escape or survive the attempt on their life? For someone who claims to be Death… you're certainly no better than any killer I've locked up over the years."
Morpho blinked, pausing for a moment. "Hmm… in those killing games, the masterminds acted as the grim reaper, killing those for their sick twisted purposes when their victims were taken too soon from this world. Mmm, I will admit, perhaps I am acting rashly over you and Nanami."
"Then you leave Makoto out of your Grim Reaper 'job' too. Otherwise, I will not hesitate to stop you."
"...I had a feeling you were stalling because of your boyfriend, but very well then. The classes of 77 and 78 are exempt."
Chiaki immediately felt a wave of relief hit her all at once, causing her to barely stand as she fell on her knees. "Hooo… okay… deep breath, Chiaki…" She said to herself.
"...And while I'm at it, I will make Umber exempt from it too."
"Yeah, not like I didn't die or anything." Umber said. "Or… almost died…"
"Anyone else you're willing to take off that list?" Kyoko asked.
BGM: Morpho Knight (Kirby and the Forgotten Land)
"Take off…" He crossed his swords at them all. "Or crossed off?"
He immediately made a fiery arena, trapping Nyx, the Ayami Twins, the Atlas Sisters, Donatello, Strange and Kirby into the arena.
Fluttering Dream Eater - Morpho Knight
"Alright, let's rock and roll." Nyx said as Penny and SAPR flew up in the air and fired lasers as Morpho teleported and teleported behind the sisters, slashing them away as he unleashed a stream of fire at the two, as Yagami teleported behind him and kicked him away.
Yagami teleported over to Xena where the two levitated up and unleashed a powerful ball of energy and threw it at him, but he cut through the ball of energy and flew toward the two, slashing the as they blocked with shields of their own, right as Kirby jumped up and hammered him away.
Strange looked at Kirby. "Instead of eating me, eat this." He said, pulling up a rune as he sucked it up to become Sorcerer Kirby.
The two nodded as Kirby threw the runes like discs as Morpho blocked these, only for Strange to manipulate the fire around him and struck Morpho. Morpho teleported to Strange and slashed him but he blocked the attacks.
"Alright, here goes." Nyx said, pressing a button as the turrets she set up opened fire at Morpho as he blocked with his sword and cut through them, only for Donatello to kick him from the side and swung his bo staff around as Morpho casually blocked as the two swung their weapons until Donatello parried him as he swung his bo staff around, charging it up with electricity and hit him to shock him.
Pause BGM
Morpho teleported away, unleashing fire tornadoes at the group… right when a Paralyze Truth Bullet hit him. He turned around to see Kyoko running through the wall of fire. "What are you doing? I said you were exempt."
"I was going to sit this one out…" She pointed her gun at him, not caring if the fire burned her skin, singed her hair and destroyed her clothing except for her gloves. "But I'm not showing you any mercy."
"Is this because I targeted your boyfriend? Hmph, I gave you a chance but you are throwing your life away at me. Very well, I will have you killed as an example." He aimed his sword at Kyoko. "I will make you fear me."

Morpho Knight summoned Ridley's head, where it fired a plasma breath attack at her but she swiftly rolled out of the way and shot him with a Break bullet, knocking him back as Xena and Yagami surrounded him and threw waves of energy toward him as he teleported away, prompting the sisters to do the same, catching their energy waves and threw them into Morpho Knight.
Morpho swung his blades into the girls in response but they teleported away as Penny flew over and swung her blades into him as SAPR flew up behind him and kicked him to the ground, the two of them high fiving as they both fired lasers right after.
Morpho teleported away, conjuring up fire tornadoes and called upon Fecto heads and Ridley heads, but Kirby, with the help of Strange, trapped them in a void as Strange opened up a portal as Donatello launched himself out of and kicked Morpho in the face as Kirby opened up portals as well as Kyoko jumped in these, hitting him with Knockback and Break bullets every time she hopped out.
Morpho growled, slashing at Kyoko, but she disappeared in a portal as an Ice Arrow replaced her and froze him as Donatello swung his bo staff at him to knock a sword off of him. Kirby's eyes widened as he immediately made a portal to make it drop near him as he sucked it up, immediately becoming Morpho Knight Kirby.
"Poyo!" Kirby smiled.
"He is now Morpho Kirby!" Meta Knight said.
"Death Kirby also works." Futaba said.
Chiaki grimaced. "That's what we need… Kirby as a grim reaper…"
"Aww, but the thought of him being a grim reaper is so cute~!" Haru gushed.
"Hmm…" Morpho narrowed his eyes as he teleported to Kirby as the two of them slashed each other, their blades clashing as they jumped back as their swords got bigger and swung down, creating fire shockwaves that hit each other as Morpho unleashed a wall of fire at him, but Kirby immediately teleported away and appeared behind Morpho.
"Hi!" Kirby said and slashed him with his gigantic sword. Morpho grunted as he clashed with Kirby's sword, both of them struggling to gain the upper hand until Kirby parried him, knocking him back as Morpho responded by blowing him away with a fire tornado.
Morpho turned around, only to get hit by Paralyze where Kyoko then jumped over as Morpho turned his head around, Kyoko aiming while in midair. "Sayonara!" She shot him with Break, and then Knockback right after, sending him flying to the Atlas sisters where they both punched him in the air, the twins catching him telekinetically as Strange opened up two portals as Nyx tossed a crossbow to Donatello as the two of them fired arrows into the portal below him as the arrows rained down and latched on to his mask.
The arrows beeped for two seconds… and exploded in electricity as Kirby jumped in and used his Stone ability, turning into a Thwomp, and crushed Morpho with it.
"AAAAARGH!"
End BGM
"Checkmate." Kyoko said.
The flames died out as Morpho let out a grunt, letting out a groan… until Fecto's soul parted from him and flew off. "Nnngh! He got away…"
He looked at them all. "You're quite the adversaries… I'll let you live for now." He said as he looked toward Fecto flying away. "But now he is fleeing like the coward that he is."
"Where is he heading off to?" Chiaki asked.
"I'm sensing that… he is heading to Waddle Dee Town."
"So that's his end game… let's go." Strange said, opening up a portal to Waddle Dee Town.
"Wait! What about Leon?" Elfilin spoke up.
"I don't think those souls were enough." Strange said solemnly.
"Then perhaps you may have missed a few." A voice said as they saw Carol and the rest of the Beast Pack come in with souls of their own, where they flew over to Leon. It was enough to wake him up.
"Mmmm… uuuungh…" Leon groaned, opening his eyes. "What happened…?" He wondered as Carol immediately hugged him. "Oh!" He smiled, patting her on the back as everyone cheered.
"Now then, let's go." Strange said as they walked through the portal, Leon and the Beast Pack following where only Kyoko and Morpho were left.
"You willingly jumped through the fire… any other person would hesitate." Morpho siad. "But you… why would you go through the flames?"
"I'm just built different… and let that be a lesson to you should you threaten someone's significant other. You should consider yourself lucky that Hajime didn't step in when you threatened Chiaki."
She started to walk through the portal.
"...The funny thing is, I can be quite honorable when I want to." Morpho said.
"I've yet to see it."
"Indeed…"
At Waddle Dee Town…
"So where is he headed? He could be anywhere." Akira said as they saw a chaotic ball of energy crashing into the arena, and before anyone could say anything, the coliseum exploded, causing brick and mortar to fly everywhere.

Elfilis emerged from the smoke, his spear in hand. "You wish to bargain with me, Strange? I will show you what happens to humans who have bargained with me!"
"He's not going to settle this peacefully. We have no other choice." Strange said.
"Then let us pay him back for what he did to us." Leon said, cracking his knuckles as Elfilis jumped into the air and landed in the middle of Waddle Dee Town Square.
Species Born of Chaos - Chaos Elfilis
Elfilis snapped his fingers as they saw a Phantom emerge from the ground, which was none other than Phantom Meta Knight, but was also joined by Phantom Star Allies.
With a smirk, the Phantoms attacked the heroes, forcing them away from Elfilis as only JINXY, Umber, Chiaki, Kirby, Shadow, Strange, Morpho and Leon to deal with Elfilis.
Elfilis teleported away, appearing near Kirby and thrusted his spear but he disappeared and reappeared behind Elfilis and together with Morpho, the duo slashed him away.
Elfilis turned around and swung his spear into Strange, but he blocked with his runes as he made clones of himself and fired magic into him. Elfilis shifted his eyes to the real deal and teleported to him, where Xena teleported to him and unleashed a telekinetic shockwave to knock him back.
Fire coursed through Xena's hands and threw fireballs as Elfilis deflected them with his spear as Yagami appeared behind him and unleashed a telekinetic laser into him. Elfilis turned around only for Yagami to teleport down to the ground along with Xena and Strange.
Shadow charged up a Spin Dash and Spin Dashed into him, striking Elfilis in the head as he batted him away, then Leon jumped in and punched him in the gut as Elfilis swung his spear into Leon, where he blocked with arms and counter slashed him with his claws, then Nyx fired shock arrows into him to paralyze him as Morpho and Kirby fire slashed him.
Elfilis turned around, noticing Chiaki summoning a Silver Axe. "Hmph! Not using a sword, are we? You're not trying, gamer girl!"
"On the contrary-" Chiaki ducked underneath the swing of the spear and then swung her axe as a counter.
"Mmph!"
"Axes beat lances~" Chiaki smiled as Iris shot a few fireballs from her gunblade as Nyx fired an arrow, where it released smoke to blind Elfilis, then Kirby and Morpho threw fire tornadoes at him and then Shadow threw a Chaos Spear into him.
"Mirror Mage style go!" Umber said, quickly using Fira as it turned into a wall right after. Elfilis raised an eyebrow and quickly slashed at the fire wall, only for it to blast him into the theater. Umber snapped his fingers as the fire wall morphed into a fire doppelganger, the two of them high fiving as they ran toward Elfilis and slashed him together as he batted them away and produced lances to surround the twins, but they telekinetically grabbed them and sent them flying into Elfilis, striking him with the help of Strange restraining him.
End BGM
"AAAARGH!" Elfilis grunted, falling to the ground as a red Orb rose up from his back and detached from him. He let out a growl.
"I… I am NOT DONE YET!" He yelled as he went inside of the Orb.
"And here we are!"
Chaos Elfilis produced cloud-like orbs around it and shot lasers everywhere, making everyone block as the Phantoms retreated and went inside Chaos Elfilis, adding more firepower and lasers that struck everything, destroying buildings all around them.
"This is new…" Morpho said, blocking a laser as Chaos Elfilis fired shockwaves that made them roll out of the way as Xena and Yagami fired counter magic at him.
"I wonder if I could suck up those clouds…" Jade said.
"That might be dangerous." Iris warned.
"It's worth a shot." Jade said after firing a fireball from her Poltergust.
The chaotic ball of energy flew up high into the air, and then proceeded to rain streams of darkness at them, forcing them to dodge as it slammed into the ground.
Here goes nothing! Jade thought as she aimed her Poltergust and sucked it all up, where it would start to overload her weapon but she managed to get it all inside of it. "Phew…"
"Will that hold him?" Strange asked.
"I don't think it will…" Iris responded as she noticed it started to expand and smoke was coming out of it. She gasped. "JADE, TAKE THAT OFF! HURRY!"
Jade looked back and gasped, taking it off but right as she was about to throw it away…
BOOOOOOM!
The Poltergust violently exploded.
"GYAAAAAAAH!" Jade screamed, her aura shattering as she was launched away and struck a building.
"JADE!" INXY and Futaba yelled as Chaos Elfilis emerged from the wrecked Poltergust.
"Nothing will contain me."
Shadow looked at Jade and clenched his fists, turning to Chaos Elfilis. "You have hurt those around you for the last time." He said. "If I had the Chaos Emeralds, this would be where it ends for you."
"If it's Chaos Emeralds you want-" Chiaki summoned the seven Chaos Emeralds from her powers. "Then use these!"
"...I'm not even going to question it." Shadow said. "Are these Emeralds just as powerful as the real ones?"
"Well, not exactly. The replicas are just a tiny bit weaker than the originals, but they should get the job done."
"Good enough." Shadow nodded as he turned to Chaos Elfilis.
"You think you can stop me, THE EMBODIMENT OF CHAOS?"
"Hmph, well, at least you've stopped calling yourself something that you're not." He reached for his right wrist. "And at least you acknowledge-"
He took off the ring off of his wrist and reached for the other.
"-That I am the true ultimate lifeform!"
He took off the other ring as the Chaos Emeralds started to wrap around Shadow, closing his eyes.
BGM: Undefeatable - Sonic Frontiers Feat. Cristina Vee (FamilyJules)
Shadow immediately went into Super Shadow, glowing into his golden form as he flew up into the air where Chaos Elfilis did the same.
The two of them flew straight for each other, both of them colliding until Shadow kicked him away. He proceeded to shoot out shockwaves just by kicking the air as Chaos Elfilis shot lasers at him.
Shadow Chaos Snapped next to Chaos Elfilis, proceeding to punch and kick him as he kicked him high into the air. Chaos Elfilis fired lasers at him, striking the town as Strange, Mewtwo, Chiaki and the Ayami Twins put up force fields to protect everyone.
Chaos Elfilis rammed into Shadow, where he wrapped his arms around the Orb of Chaos and threw him to the ground, teleporting to his location and Chaos Blasted him away.
Chaos Elfilis shrunk down and produced cutter-like clouds to try and hurt Shadow, but he kicked them back and snapped to above him as he dive kicked into him, where Chaos Elfilis fell into the hotel, destroying it.
Chaos Elfilis immediately turned into a void and sucked Shadow inside. However, Shadow crossed his arms and unleashed a powerful Chaos Blast that busted him out of there and kicked Chaos Elfilis away.
"Nice try." He said as Chaos Elfilis suddenly changed color into a yellow sun Orb of death as it flew back and aimed for Shadow. Shadow smirked, Chaos Snapping away from the town as they both flew toward each other, slamming into each other in the middle of town as it canceled out the fiery death as Chaos Elfilis went back to its normal chaotic orb.
Chaos Elfilis snarled, teleporting everywhere and shooting lasers and lightning bolts into him where Shadow either blocked with his hand or he simply flew out of the way.
"Chaos… CONTROL!" Shadow yelled, everything freezing in time as he quickly flew around and placed Chaos Spears and Lances all around Chaos Elfilis, and then when he snapped his fingers, Chaos Elfilis was caught in the barrage after Chaos Control was canceled out.
Chaos Elfilis screeched in agony as Shadow teleported to him and kicked him down to the ground where Chaos Elfilis started to glow.
"This is bad! He's charging up a desperation attack that'll wipe us all out!" SAPR exclaimed as she scanned him.
In an instant, Palkia let out a cry as he proceeded to use Spacial Rend to strike Chaos Elfilis, proceeding to destroy him before the massive explosion could hurt anyone.
"Farewell, Chaos Elfilis, you faker."
End BGM
Shadow landed on the ground, the gold color disappearing as he went back to normal as the sky turned back to normal as well. He immediately felt Logue glowing him into a hug. He looked down and softly chuckled, patting her on the back.
A piece of soul was all that remained of Elfilis as Elfilin went over and absorbed it.
"I'm whole again…" He said and then smiled.
"Jade! JADE!" Futaba immediately cradled her. "Jade, please… open your eyes…" She begged.
"Uuungh…"
Jade opened her eyes, groaning. "Ow… I'm definitely going to feel that in the morning… agh!" She yelped, holding on to her right hand.
"You okay?" Iris asked.
"I'm not sure, my hand… I can't feel anything, same with my forearm."
"Let me do a scan real quick…" Futaba scanned her.
Jade Gadd
Status - Broken Aura, Nerve damage in her right hand and forearm.
Futaba sighed. "Nerve damage… that explosion did a number on your arm."
"I can fix it!" Medic smiled. "I could easily-"
"No! After you turned Ruby into a walking lab experiment, I'm not going to let you do anything to my arm."
"A very valid response."
"Hey." Iris handed Jade what was left of her Poltergust. "This thing's seen better days."
"Yeah… definitely going to have to get that upgraded…" Jade said as she felt some tears hit her cheek. "Huh? Futaba, what's wrong?"
"I… I was scared you would've died on me…"
"Hey, I'm still here…" Jade smiled.
Futaba smiled, wiping her tears. "I'm glad…" She said.
…And then, without even thinking about it, Futaba leaned in and kissed Jade on the lips. Jade's eyes widened as she closed her eyes and returned the favor.
"Well, it's about time." Makoto chuckled with her arms folded.
"Atta girl." Iris smiled as Futaba broke the kiss.
"...Wait, did I just actually-"
"Yup.' Jade winked.
"Oh, what the hell… your lips are so soft." Futaba said, reaching in for another kiss.
"Pfft, get a room, you two." Dante teased.
THUD!
Everyone turned to see Chiaki down on the ground, laying on her back. "You okay, babe?" Hajime asked.
"Yeah… just exhausted." Chiaki laughed, as everyone, including Morpho Knight, laughed with her.
