This is Big Red speaking, we are now entering Act 2 of the War Preparation Arc. The villains will be getting more focus due to new plans that may benefit the future of their organization. At the same time, the heroes are gathering new allies already which you will see partially in this chapter. Anyways, lets see what evil deeds the Legion are up to.
The defeated villains remain in the damaged parts of the city from their failed attempt to stop Sullivan's retreat from their sight. An uneasy air of tension flows through a majority of them. Some too quick to blame each other for failure and others who desperately want to kill any hero they were to see the next time. Rocket continues to hold on to his burned ally Jet until the boss would arrive to look at this horrible sight. Pirika continues to cry at her own failure with her allies not wanting to take sides in this tough situation. Greedy would still stare at the steam powered mech shaking with its weapon as if it wanted to fight. This is due to Aoi Satan not wanting to be called weak by anyone who dared opposed a Hell ruler like him. This amused the space pirate as he always wanted to go all out without holding back his true strength.
"I know you two are getting ready to fight, but now is not the time to do it. You are aware you could damage this planet and it won't be inhabitable anymore, Greedy," the stern Reala warned.
Upon his request, Greedy would recollect his thoughts and not give in to the arrogant Koubu rider's threat.
"Fine by me. No planet could survive my intense invasions. Even if this planet were to explode because of me, I would survive and most of you would die from the blast. However, that would do no good since this is our home base. Soon all planets in the universe will be under our rule once we get these infernal heroes out of our sights," the space pirate said before clutching his fist.
Just the thought that someone on their side could destroy planets send shivers down the spines of Masa and Rocket respectively. Aoi Satan then obediently holds back any anger he had, knowing he is best saving it for those that truly deserve it like Sakura Shinguji.
"I will comply as well. Even if you were to kill me, I would be revived years later as long as humans exists to commit sin. Nothing phases me when my original goal would be destroying this whole world with the best nuclear weapons of war. For now, we need to worry more about stopping the good hearted worms that oppose our plans," the blue haired demon calmly said.
"Likewise. Dark Raven! Are you and your right hand finished with the portal?" Greedy called.
The two crow sorcerers backed away from the large crow shamed portal that glows with an ominous evil energy. These portals were created as a way for their friends or foes to appear near any of the Crow Commanders that guarded each area in Morning Land originally. In this case, the portal is made for them to warp back to where their main-ships were waiting.
"Yes, they are ready. Someone will have go back and report the bad news. Perhaps a few can use this portal to come here with their own eyes," Dark Raven solemnly states.
Reala would be the main volunteer as one of the top three leaders of the Legion's sub-fleets. He feels the most responsible for underestimating the idea that there were more spies in Speed Highway than expected.
"I will go. As the one who started this chase, it would make the most sense to report back to them," he replied.
A guilty Reala is truly a rare sight for his allies who expected him to be a cruel leader that takes no failure for an answer.
"I will come with you. My coward of a master owes me the regeneration serum after all," The Magician brings up.
"Consider me coming as well. Besides, I have quite a few questions for Death Adder to see if he's open for new requests," Neff added.
"Remember, this portal isn't big enough for more than five people at a time. We don't want too many leaving here as some witnesses staying where they are would be ideal," Dark Corvo called.
Reala nods and flies his way to the glowing crow portal before him. Neff and The Magician soon followed by as their remaining allies watched them. Saroid would be the one to hug her crying ally with strong arms, assuring her that nothing was truly her fault. The silent warrior is aware of how much she cares for her as an ally and have her full support while her senses returned to her. Fare would be proud of what her ally is doing in tough times where failure isn't tolerated near their allies. Elise wastes no time feasting on the few bloodied bodies of demons and officers before her to regain what strength she lost from the fierce beetle attack. The sight would sicken Masa as seeing blood of any kind makes him sick. He also had flashbacks to dealing with the undead before growing up long before he joined the Ninteldo army. Eventually the three villains disappeared in a flash of purple thanks to the crow portal working as intended.
Meanwhile, all the other villains near the ships would await the progress of hunting down their intruder. Some were patient in their wait while others were preoccupied with other actions. The most notable would be a group of Syndicate thugs fawning over a mysterious woman. She would be a voluptuous bombshell in a black dress that bares her green legs as if she were a celebrity prepping for a new film. Something about her seemed quite familiar, most notably her black eyes and wicked cackle. It would be none other than Gruntilda who finally achieved her dream of true beauty thanks to Mishaela's magic as promised for their personal deal. She seems quite happy with her newfound beauty and especially adored all the looks from the excited men near her flawless body.
"Aaaaahahahahahaaaa! Gaze upon this gorgeous body, men. Don't you think I look more delicious than a mother hen?" the newly transformed witch brags.
Slum, Vice, and Garcia couldn't control themselves as they were lost in a state of pleasure and joy at this beautiful woman. Mona, Lisa, Garnet, and Nora wouldn't be thrilled as they were no longer the source of attention from their Syndicate peers. Grunty lifts a leg into the air with ease and wink at the excited men before her. Slum could only get a closer look with his leering eyes, ignoring the constant drool on his face. Garcia tries his best not get too close if it means getting a slap on the face. Vice would think of what to say because this woman is a bigger catch compared to the few he works with.
"No need to be shy, because I'm quite the cutie pie. Your looks are like food to my big eyes and so are the stares at my big... pies," the giddy witch taunts.
Nora could only crack her whip the more she watched this painful sight as being upstaged by someone more beautiful angers her more than anything in the world. Mishaela sighs since she had the feeling this was the only reason that she wanted to be beautiful instead of her usual hag self. Ashra, Rokkaku, Lan Di, Purge, Onishima, Hiyashi, Adabebe, Jude the Dude, Saltim, and Zerig would be playing cards at a stone table to pass the time. It appeared that the best players of the game were Ashra, Rokkaku, Purge, Zerig, and Jude the Dude as they shown the less signs of stress or panic during their plays. The multi armed being shuffled his deck to find the best card to play for his next move with his rivals watching.
"Come on God of War, you know that you want to make a move. There is no puzzle that I can't solve," the blonde warrior bragged with his tongue out.
"Shut up, I'm trying to find the right card to place. If this is some trick to make me deal a weak card, I'm not falling for it," Ashra yelled.
Rokkaku could only sigh since he's aware that the true monsters were really testing his patience in the card game.
"You two pretties are nothing compared to my experience in card games. Just don't be upset when you all are exposed like the rookies you are," the flamboyant cowboy states.
"Can it, roller rink! Your voice is breaking my conversation," Purge warned.
The next scene would be Carvai feasting on mountains of fresh food that Foster and Gruiji found from a strip mall the two conquered several hours ago. The brown haired Nintendo sniper wouldn't be shocked at the monstrous appetite the pink haired girl had as a long time ally of her. Gruiji would laugh at the sight to show he's more easygoing compared to his more serious brother Marcus. A hungry Max D Cap would notice the food and begin helping himself to some food. Carvai would notice this and begin puffing her face in a pouty manner.
"Hey, you can't have some when that was my food!" she called.
The demon would ignore her requests and keep eating since he didn't see her as anything close to a threat.
"I said, get away from my food!" she yells even louder.
She would eventually begin growing at an inexplicable rate to tower over the fat demon, staring him down with a fearless look. Foster and Gruiji quickly backed away from their gargantuan ally due to anticipating something big happening soon.
"Oh dear, she's copying him to try having a feud over her food of all things," the green general said nervously.
The now giant Carvai grabs the entire table of food from Max D Cap, wolfing down the meal in her mouth to show dominance over her deserved meal.
"You think everything on that table belongs to you? Bah, I can take what I want if my belly desires a hell of a meal. Get lost!" the large demon called.
The giant pink haired girl could only ignore him and keep chewing her stuffed big cheeks of meals that belonged to her. Max D Cap could only grow angrier from the sight of his larger ally munching loudly instead of heeding his words.
"You only do nothing but mock me? Fine then, you will be my first victim in a while to burn!" he shouts.
The red demon eventually punched Carvai in her stomach in full force. Because of the attack, she would begin choking on the mouthful of food that couldn't make it down her throat. The pink giantess would now cover her mouth and struggle to breathe from the lack of air down her windpipe as the large demon laughs at her misfortune. She stomps around loudly from the situation and tries desperately to not suffocate from the lack of air.
"This is what happens to gluttons that never share their food," Max D Cap declared.
Eventually, a Crow Portal would appear directly in front of Death Adder, Marcus, and The Baron thanks to the crow sorcerers' plan. The three would notice the emblem on this mysterious panel and know this is the work of their corvid allies.
"It's about time. Hopefully they reward us with the corpses of both spies," the giant said in his sinister voice."
"I have the feeling they are approaching us with news of something else. There has to be reason why they all were taking so long," the mustachioed general suggests.
The Baron continued to observe this strange portal as it glows an ominous purple the entire time.
"If them suckas from earlier are barely alive, then give the bishop of blood and carnage a chance to wreck their shit," the belligerent Baron said.
The card playing villains would take a pause to see what the commotion would be all about, with an eager Zerig wanting to win this game soon enough. Grunty would turn to see the sight herself, wanting to be the first to show the others her new beautiful appearance. Nora would sigh knowing that the green skinned babe would no longer be the center of attention anymore. Mishaela soon begin running toward the source of the sound due to wanting to check on her fellow leader. Carvai would be choking Max D Cap as payback for his dirty trick, paying no mind to the fact someone would be coming. Soon Reala, The Magician, and Neff eventually appeared out of the portal to see every villain is still safe and sound as expected. Death Adder is pleased with their arrival, but also curious of where the two spies were.
"So the worms got away from you all? There needs to be a good reason for this," he replied.
Reala would be surprised at how spot on the evil giant's words were about their situation.
"Yes. They both escaped our wrath. If only because we were all ambushed by a group of heroes. They weren't familiar in any way, as if they were an unrelated party compared to the ones we've fought a week against," the jester replied.
"Yes. We were played like fools in the city. One of them would be some overgrown insect that somehow called an entire swarm to distract us and somehow our aerial forces were taken out by giant machines of some sort," the rhinoceros wizard states.
"In other words, no named suckas who only decided to join the carnage just to stand up to us, the mothalovin Legion of Subspace. It's aight, we all have some pain to dish out the next time they waggle themselves onto our turf," the sadistic pimp brags after tapping his cane.
The Magician instead would scope around for Dr Curien looking for the very serum he wanted to use for his wounds. He would notice the scientist being fascinated by the towering Frank to care too much. Just the thought of his creator admiring anything other than his own creations would internally anger the horned sinister creature.
"Curien! Instead of ignoring your greatest creation, you should get over here with my healing serum. I would like to be back in better condition after the winged wench damaged my perfect body too much," the intelligent creature called.
Marcus would be interested in what became of his fellow Ninteldo soldiers who should be here to report their status.
"By the way, how did things go with Pirika's group and Fare?" he wondered.
"Your electrical ally gotten too out of control with her power and shocked everyone. As her superior, you should be the one to deal proper punishment instead of us. Third parties like you have better knowledge of your own than we do," Neff said in scorn.
Marcus unfortunately knew it had to come down to this knowing Pirika being the most reckless of his own army. She was rescued from a time her own family was almost eradicated by poisonous gases due to others fearing the power of the Pocket Monks. One of the last of her kind next to two other individuals who are the parents of her and the other one-hundred forty-eight monks that were killed in the accident. Despite being the newest member, other Ninteldo soldiers treated her with the best respect. Most notably powerhouses like Zerig and Saroid. The man with the mustache thought deeply about how he should confront the yellow warrior for her own mistake in a way that isn't too harsh. But at the same time that would be enough for his fellow Legion members to feel satisfied by his decision. Eventually, the sight of a flying and beaten Max D Cap would catch the attention of the others. The large lifeless demon would fall down into the massive pit before them with a sore neck and lifeless eyes. Marcus once again knew that Carvai went too far and hates sharing her food with anyone else.
"Carvai! You just can't go and harm your own allies in the name of your stomach. These are our allies and we want to maintain a good partnership if it means the nation of Ninteldo taking over more land for our people!" he called.
Zerig despite being close to winning the card game turned to see the now massive Carvai angry that someone tried to take her food without permission and choke her with her fill.
"Hey, is anyone giving you trouble? I can kick their ass if you'd like!" the blonde psychotic warrior shouts.
Carvai would turn to see her ally sitting at a table playing cards with others, the entire scene reminds her of ants gathering on a stone because of her massive size. She bends her body forward to cast a large shadow over all of her Legion peers. The many lecherous Syndicate members stared at her mountainous breasts, which annoyed Grunty for all of her attention being overshadowed.
"Typical, always the bigger ones stealing the show. At least you can see more of my legs you know," the witch called to the distracted thugs.
Reala shook his head earlier since fights between members were one of the many things he could never tolerate.
"You heard your general, stop hurting your fellow members over something mundane like food. This is what the heroes want, for us to destroy each other and they win an easy fight. We are all better than this," the Nightmaren calls.
The pink haired giant girl turned to her superiors behind her with a pouty look.
"Well he tried to take all the food that were only for me. Gruiji and Foster even said it's only for myself and no one else. That fat demon even ignored me when I've told him that those plates of meat all belong to me when he dug in. And even worse, he even tried making me choke on my own food when I ate it all. If I didn't know you any better, you can never get along with someone who's an ignorant slob that steals your food and laughs at you choking on it," she bellowed.
Trouble Bruin couldn't resist trying to crack a smile at this situation.
"And you all said I was the worst member. At least I wouldn't know when to mess with a glutton and her own food," the bear gloats.
"Still doesn't make you any better, bear. You still gotten executed by our former commanders. Don't act like you were never an annoyance," Guan Yu said angrily.
"Will you give it a break? Reala clearly stated that we can't be fighting in any way shape or form. This is why our numbers were dropping lately," Psycrow replied.
Turbo suddenly dropped between the three after doing his hour of surveillance on the area. The massive Cybug hybrid once again checks if all of his allies were safe and sound.
"There are no other spies in sight. Hopefully the one that was here gotten his deserved punishment," Turbo says with his face glitching.
Just the usual sight of him switching between a racer and old king's head made Carvai uneasy as if he were some strange bug.
"Don't even think about smashing him, you big gumdrop. He's not just some insect worth crushing, our true enemies are worth that treatment," Purge called from the cards table.
"That's right. We only have each other when this world is all ours. Today is a special day when we were blessed with our formerly dead allies from the pits of Hell. So let us enjoy our lives while we can and those cowardly heroes are too busy running away from us," Rokkaku declared with manly tears.
Onishima and Hiyashi cries along with their charismatic leader for speaking the real soul everyone needed to hear in tough times like this. Death Adder could only laugh in a good way knowing some of these villains had just the right idea all along. Reala is certainly pleased with the atmosphere since he would appreciate more of this and less in-fighting between this mighty villain alliance. The Magician would be in the middle of receiving his special treatment from Dr. Curien in the middle of this conversation. The green fluids being injected in him would cause his wounds to rapidly seal thanks to its effects. For every muscle completely healed, a new layer of gray carapace forms and expands to give it the original armored appearance each part of his body had. The creature did no flinching in the middle of this as he's being revitalized by the minute with his treatment.
"Soon you will be back to your destructive healthy form. The next time you see the one who humiliated you, she would know why they should fear the name Doctor Roy Curien," the scientist says in an evil tone.
"Except you were not there to do the fighting, scientist. They will know of the name Magician. Do not take the credit for everything just because you've created me. I can be independent as a being and not always have your name attached to my actions," the horned creature barked with glowing yellow eyes.
"Blame the government, they always see me as the most responsible because I've made you and the countless other mutated creations. They will never see you as your own person because you will be just a monster to them and not a…"
This would result in the creature gripping the defenseless human scientist with his large clawed hand in anger. The other villains would catch on to this and wondered would be going on this time. Mishaela had the feeling this had to happen again when the creature could never get along with his creator since the day they had met. Turbo facepalms with his insectoid hand before it glitched once again. This did not please Death Adder the most since he wouldn't want to do anything to reverse his special resurrection spell on both people.
"What is the meaning of this? Can you two not squabble like measly rats fighting over a single crumb," the giant bellowed.
The Magician ignores his requests and continue choking the man with every inch of his life in unbridled rage at his last statement.
"This isn't a game, gray gargoyle of glumness. We aren't allowed to be fighting each other at all," Hiyashi warns.
"You're the one to talk when you were shootin the shit out of me previously. Never forget your own mistakes, toffee fool," The Baron replied.
Mathilda would be the one to club him on the head with her spiked weapon to silence him. This would appropriately scare both Onishima and Hiyashi.
"Sorry baby, but you really need to listen to our leaders if they agree it should be a rule for us to never fight each other," the seductive ho said.
"But you just did that, you crazy bitch!" both Rokkaku captains yelled at her.
The angry Magician glared into the helpless face of his creator using every bit of strength to crush his neck.
"The world will see me as more than a mere monster. I was one of the first members of the Legion while you would be too busy misusing the Chaos Emerald for a failed zombie army. When you of all people lost to a few of your own creations and a so called ultimate life form, you are a quack. A fake. A coward who uses his name on many creations that would be proven stronger than himself. Never think you are above me just because you were the one who made me what I am," the horned creature says in a calm but threatening manner.
"That's enough Magician. You've proven your point! You will wind up killing a valuable member who just came back. You killing him the last time already went against what we stood for," Neff snorts.
"Never forget that you lost to a Chaos Zombie of a harlot that we tried to recruit on our group. I bet it didn't feel good for your own inflated pride to be crushed by an inferior lifeform," Mishaela stated.
Just hearing that made The Magician stop strangling his creator and focus his attention on his closest allies taunting him.
"Say that again and you will be the one who will be crushed by my claws," he threatened.
Death Adder just had enough of everything and performed a certain finger gesture. Neo Zeed and the Black Shogin could recognize this gesture too well since they seen it before hand. Reala and Mishaela wonders what the cruel giant was up to with this unique hand gesture at a time like this. With one finger curled, a strange situation happens. The Magician suddenly begins yelling in pain with his muscles spazzing violently under his gray exoskeleton armor. The downed Curien would be confused at the sight that happens above him. The rebellious powerful creation he made is now writhing like a snake that's been pierced by needles, all thanks to the strange gesture Death Adder is doing in the distance. A majority of the villains would be confused as to what is happening to him, although some smart ones like Mishaela could connect the dots on the mysterious phenomena.
"He's undoing the spell. This is his way of showing that those who defy him will be reverted back to what they originally were, limp corpses that should be buried. This is what an impulsive creature like The Magician deserves. If he doesn't listen to us and cooperate, then he will be stripped of his second life and chance at ruling a perfect world like all of us," she explains with a sadistic grin.
"It will be more than a perfect world. The others will see in due time. We know what will happen, but will not tell the others until the the time is right," Reala replied with a large grin.
"What do you mean by that? I thought we will just rule all planets in the entire galaxy after this one," Neff asked in suspicion.
The two would hesitate to ignore his question but also felt only a few trustworthy people are worth being told this. Their real plan would have very mixed opinions and the more untrustworthy members could jump ship instead of staying with the Legion anymore. The Magician thrashed and spun with his cells losing control of their shape in his body, growing more mutated and deformed than before compared to any of Curien or Goldman's creations. His head now resembles something more like a demon trying his best not to explode with swollen lymphs all over and a mouth like that of someone viscously beaten. Death Adder sadistically enjoys this sight, giggling in his gravely voice the more he saw the creature suffer from his dying state.
"Remember, it is I who gave you this new life. It would be a shame for you to waste it all on your petty quarrels with one of our own. Even if you personally hate them. We are stronger as a united force of villains and that alone makes the world tremble to their knees," the giant overlord said.
Carvai still watched the scene from her same spot in gigantic form, wondering why is there a mutant in the corner. Zerig could tell from the look of things that The Magician could die if Death Adder goes too far messing with his life.
"What the hell is going on with him? He's looking like a million bees are stinging him," Hiyashi states in a frightened state.
"Adder is undoing the revival spell. Magician is good as dead if this keeps up," Ashra calmly replied.
"So that's why the rookie seems like he's puffing up in the wrong places. His death will be a messy one if this keeps up," Jude the Dude said after dealing his card.
"I always knew that he would be this stubborn. But now this is biting him in more than just the ass. Such a shame too when monsters like him have a place with us," Rokkaku adds.
Zerig once again wonders if each member of the Legion are truly as tightly knit as they seem to be.
"We from the Ninteldo Army are more like family. We treat each other with respect, can understand each other no matter how bad the failure is, and cooperate much easier. It seems quite disorganized here where everyone is either against each other, willing to backstab one another, or just hiding too many secrets. It makes me wonder if this alliance we have with all of you will last long enough. Even if we were to possibly take over this planet along with any others," the blonde warrior says with his arms behind his back.
As much as some of the Legion members at the table really want to question his philosophy, he was right and cut this truth deeper than a knife. Rokkaku thought back to the time Lan Di argued with everyone before meeting his end in Mathilda's hands or the recent latest of The Baron losing his temper and attacking everyone because of Zor insulting him before the Deadly Six abandoned the Legion. Lan Di himself would be thankful he gets to live for another day, but even felt personally called out when Zerig decided to bring these manners about the Legion up. Saltim is too busy juggling his deck to play the next card for his comeback game.
"That's true. I get disrespected a lot ever since I joined this gig. They act like I'm the weakling and screw up of the group when others made way more mistakes than me. That blue watery freak was way out of my league, even my electrical gadgets and Rhythm Robots couldn't fight him off. Besides, they can't do much with that big green gem anyway. At least compared to having all seven Chaos Emeralds," Purge recalled.
"Must be rough on you, pretty boy. The Baron can be a reasonable man and gladly welcomed me back with open arms despite my defeat. He's the one that restarted the Deathwatch games himself with all of us again since Jack won the last one wandering his manly ass out of Varrigan City. That punk Leo being hospitalized only made it all easier for us to rise again and cause more mayhem. We had our eyes set on making Deathwatch global, which is part of why we joined the Legion to help achieve that goal," the cowboy replied.
"All crows were created to be loyal to our lord Dark Raven. All he wants is a perfect world covered in darkness only to be thwarted by Billy Hatcher. That's why he recreates me and the other crow commanders to help the Legion in their goal while finishing what we've just started. When the chance comes, he will not hesitate to create an endless night for any city or island of his choosing," the monkey crow explains with his cheery clown smile.
"Easy did you to say, banana breath. I know that the galaxy will be in our grasp thanks to my awesome plan. I'll amp up my Ballistic Groove Gun with the help of the Shadow Fiends to control everyone in the galaxy. It will only help in making our invasion easier as long as the leaders of each planet or even space station is ours for control. Soon, we will even have our own planet to rule if we can keep this all up. The only thing left is taking the Chaos Emeralds from those loser heroes in due time. This war will dictate if this world belongs to us and if those that stand in our way will fall," Purge exclaims before laughing wildly.
Everyone else in the card game will laugh along with him since this plan is better than they've expected. Even newcomers like Zerig is impressed with how prepared the entire Legion appears to be. It would be until the sound of screaming grows louder than before.
"Stooo...oooop. My body can't handle this...pressure anymore. I'm...begging you...Ad...der!" The Magician begged.
This is the first time the prideful creature that sees himself as superior to everyone begging for his own life. And it is only due to the excruciating suffering he's put through with Death Adder messing with his magic that rests within his organic body. The giant knew exactly what he's doing and this sets an example for the other villains that were revived by his magic. Black Shogun, Neo Zeed, Lan Di, and Mr. X could only do nothing but shiver at the gruesome sight happening since this could happen to them too if they ever were to get out of line. They all would have no choice but to be obedient or else they would met n end similar to what's happening to Magician currently. Death Adder would still not be convinced by the creature's begging as he's enjoying the pain he's beginning to cause already.
"You don't sound like you mean it. I know you too well, perfect creation. But you aren't so perfect anymore after what I'm doing to you now!" he shouts.
Reala, Mishaela, and Neff would also be enjoying this too much as they only enjoyed hearing him beg for his life.
"I...am sorry... It's just... that being in the shadow...of a coward and...weak human...is not what I want...forever...that's why...I've joined the...Legion and order him...around... to p...prove that I'm...not some tool to be used foreve...r. Just...don't...destroy me...when I want to...send G... and anyone...that serve...s the government...to go straight to Hell...Have mercy...on me...when I'm...close to dying!" the writhing horned beast begged.
Even other Legion members who weren't playing games or distracted by other things were getting too disturbed by the sight. The Baron may be the bishop of blood and carnage, even he's feeling that his ally is going a bit too far with this level or torture. Even the massive Little Eddie trembles at the sight of this due time finding someone who could be more terrifying than Jack Cayman ever was. Yokozuna and Shogun could sense his fear while Frank could only be slightly horrified at the mutilation before him. Foster even sweats at the sight as Gruiji tries his best to hold back any signs of fear around his red armor clad brother.
"I think we all seen enough and he's apologized. It's come time that you let go of him, Adder! A true leader would respect all of his allies no matter the cost. This cruelty is unfitting of someone of your caliber to do!" Marcus shouts.
As an experienced leader, he feels that Adder is anything but a man worthy of respect for torturing someone on his own side just for fun. The giant could only stare back at the mustachioed man for questioning his authoritarian actions on The Magician.
"Hey Marcus, you want me to pick this meanie up and teach him a lesson?" the massive Carvai asked.
"Hey, Carvai! I wouldn't even think about it. The aura on that guy is immense. He's not someone to be trifled with unless you are close to his level like Marcus!" Zerig called to the large girl.
He made the right move since seeing his closest ally harmed by Adder wouldn't just upset him, but force him to go against the Legion's pact to never harm or argue each other. The two were tightly knit for Ninteldo commanders and would do anything for each other. Magician continues to overflow with pain and bloody hashes from his cells continuing to go haywire, still begging for his life to be spared. Eventually the giant lowers his hand to surrender his bloodthirst for the creature. The creature's swelling subsides as his body retain the original shape it has albeit severely wounded from the excessive expansion of body cells. His body would now be in worse shape than it was compared to his fight with a healthy Rebecca, but more along the lines of what he looked like before Varla brutally killed him. Curien gotten back to his feet to observe the sight of his former rebellious creation now reduced to a barely alive experiment that only needed one good hit to put him out of his misery. The Magician could only be thankful that he lives to fight another day and finish what he had started with G's persistent task force. Curien could only feel sorry for the state his perfect being is now close to death due to his defiance. He would use what regeneration serum he had left to inject it into an open wound on the creature's arm for healing.
"Hold still, don't fight back or you will only lose more blood. I can respect that you would rather not stand behind my name anymore. Consider this a favor if only because you are the only creation worth being proud of. Unlike the useless undead fools back in the mansion. I've got something for all of them whenever we are free to revisit all the places taken over by the Subspace," he calmly states.
The entirety of the Syndicate would be shivering in their boots from everything they had witnessed. Knowing that this could happen to them too if they were to ever make Death Adder unhappy could only make them go from fearless crooks to a flock of scared jailbirds in minutes.
"Wha...what the hell did I just see?" Slum asked.
"His body looked like it would had exploded Adder would had kept going. That could be us too since he is the reason we can breathe again," Big Ben panicked.
"To hell with this. I will obey him at all costs, even if our true boss is the one and only Mr. X," Garcia exclaimed.
"He will also suffer the same fate too, dumbass. We are all just as screwed. Why did we sign up for this again?" Zamza screamed.
Mr. X could already see his men panicking from the distance, but sighs knowing that he's not alone on his feelings on the matter. He still wants to save face and seek like a great leader to his men with a special announcement.
"We are with them because they are the key for us taking over more cities than just Wood Oak City. There are countless criminals out there still locked up in their cells by the few wardens and police yet to be controlled by the Legion. Our plan is to break them all out and have them join our Syndicate. As long as we grow in numbers with likeminded men who wants to run these cities, nothing can topple over me or any of us. My advice for all of you is to swear your allegiance to the Legion and do as you are all told. This will be the dawn of a new era. Of a planet ruled by all criminals in the world. Doesn't that sound like paradise? Think about it, it's only going to be a reality as long as we cooperate together. In the meantime, deserters like Shiva and the others will have a choice of between rejoining us or suffer the consequences. There is nothing in this world that I hate more than backstabbers. You understand, fellow criminals of the streets?" he proudly shouts with vigor.
Just his words alone would take away any fears his loyal crime commuting subjects ever had. His charisma and huge ambitions is what always drew these criminals to serve him, even if they were constantly arrested with the help of Axel and the Wood Oak City Police every time. The first one who would begin clapping is Slum, as he would be one of the first criminals to ever join the Syndicate. Big Ben and Adabebe soon followed with their own clapping with bright smile. Mona, Lisa, Roo, Nora, and Jack the Juggler joined in on the applause in response. Eventually all of the Syndicate minus the robots would be clapping en masse for everyone around them to hear. This is what Zerig meant with a successful group having good cooperation and actually having faith in one another being a strong force. Mr. X and the Syndicate being a good example as his successful four time record of taking over Wood Oak City is thanks to being a positive force for all the criminals that hate society and want to rise up against it.
"This is just like when I motivate my police task force. For every failure they have in capturing those rudies, they are given a pep talk that prepare them to try harder next time. They are the heart of my city Tokyo-To and we wouldn't have order without them. Your words speak true, blondie," Rokkaku replies.
"And this is why I've used that fool King Thunder. It's all about power and having an army at my finger tips. Since Eggman contacted me on a chance to rule the universe, I've used the perfect opportunity to backstab that king where he least expected it. Now his kingdom is overtaken by me and I can easily send soldiers if anyone here needs backup," Ashra casually said before laughing.
This sudden fact would shock everyone at the poker table, as if they least expected someone who seems like a lackey to usurp an entire kingdom after gaining the trust of its king. Jude the Dude wouldn't since anyone who's great at card games are considered more than a rookie to him.
"In addition, I've also informed Janken the Great of our progress on this planet. So he will stop by for a visit to see if it's worth assisting us all. Of course after he finish taking over a few planets on his own first. One of the last planets I've heard him visiting was Freon. After he taken over Palma," the multiarmed being stated.
"Janken the Great, eh? He's an expert conquerer and leader to his army? Marcus would love to speak with this guy one day," Zerig says in bloodlust.
Ashra folds all six of his arms with the widest grin knowing someone shows interest in the greatest conquerer.
"He is the greatest. He taken over Radaxian one time and shown to be a great inspiration for me. If only it weren't for that Alex Kidd brat getting in his way, no one would had stopped him. The Legion's actions only inspired him to go back into conquering planets with his remaining troops left to ignite his former spark. Just picture it, we are inspiring villains in the entire galaxy to start back doing what they do best. We would be an unstoppable force if we begin a search to recruit more villains for our cause. Or even have Death Adder revive the ones who long died to have a second chance for mayhem," he explains.
Overhearing the conversation from the distance reminded Mishaela of the favor she asked of Grunty after giving her all the things she wanted with her magic.
"Hey, witch! Don't forget your end of the bargain. Let's put our magic together to bring back two important people. My husband Darksol and the King of all Devils Zeon!" she called to the jealous witch.
The last statement would get the attention of many Legion members, especially Reala and Neff.
"The King of Devils? Hopefully this isn't another powerful being that we can't control like that boy," the rhino sorcerer called.
"Perhaps he would be of use. But it's going to backfire if he's a mindless beast of destruction who can't be tamed," the Nightmaren replied.
The entire Syndicate would shiver at the thought that another demon will be involved in this group soon enough.
"One magically enhanced summon, coming up. Get ready for your socks to go titup!" Grunty chants.
The two magic users would get together and use their magic with conjoined hands to start their revival ritual, a massive star symbol appears below both of their feet. Death Adder could see what's happening and raise his axe into the air.
"Everyone, stand back! With this immense magic, they will bring back a few powerful beings," he calls.
The Dark Demon would use his toy magic to create a few portals for any nearby villains to escape in.
"Jump into these portals, they should send you closer to the ship!" he beamed.
The villains begin running for these purple portals one by one at their fastest speeds. The card playing villains abruptly ended their game before catch up with the others.
"Alright, Zerig is in the lead. But we can continue this another time," Ashra panicked.
Salim creates a massive circus ball with his magic and begin rolling on top of it for faster transportation. Jude the Dude rolls away on his black skates to leave everyone in the dust.
"Sometimes you all have to ride like the wind around these parts," he taunts.
Grunty and Mishaela were already emitting massive amounts of magic energy from their combined pact, which the aura flares brighter than fireworks. Reala and Neff watched as the massive dust swirls formed around them with this overflow of magic. Grunty could feel her green forehead sweating profusely as she strains as much of her own magical prowess. Mishaela could only twitch her ears in pain with how taxing it is on her body. It's a miracle she decided to do this with the help of another magic user or wise she would had died like the last time she revived Darksol in the past.
Soon, you and I will be together again and rule more than Guardania. Just you wait!
The wind continues pushing against Neff and Reala as the twin sorcerers' continued their ritual. The crow portal would flash to signify more people coming to visit the area. The first person who would appear is none other than Greedy, who is wondering what would be taking long for others to investigate the area. Then other notable Legion members like Aoi Satan, Von Twirlenkiller, and Rocket with a wounded Jet in his arms appeared. Greedy knew that the sudden change in winds would mean something big is happening in the area.
"I demand you all tell me what's happening here!" the space pirate ordered.
Reala noticed the other members and warned them to take cover.
"Save the question for later, just brace yourselves! Gruntilda and Mishaela are summoning two powerful individuals soon!" he replied loudly.
Von Twirlenkiller would begin flying toward his Deathwatch allies using a tornado below his feet for flight. Rocket also carries Jet over to his fellow Syndicate crew to spread the bad news. Aoi Satan would instead stays put since he's confident that his special Koubou can take on these strong winds.
"Whatever this is, I'd rather see it with my own eyes. I fear nothing as long as this Koubou protects me," the demon lord brags.
The winds rage faster than before as the two witches built their magic to massive proportions that the city could barely contain. The ruined highway streets rumble violently from its power, airborne vibrations also begin growing within seconds. The warships even begin shaking themselves, which startled the nearby villains that were already taking for cover from the intensity. Saltim struggles to avoid falling off his own circus ball and Moles try his best not to slide into his own fellow Legion members from his blubbery slippery body. Even Toppo tries his best to contain his crow magic so the Tyrannosaurus skeleton he ride don't crumble apart from the pressure. Frank begins roaring in confusion as he tries not to disobey his boss's orders of not destroying more of the highway with his power. Purge already had his anti gravity boots set to avoid being affected by the wind nor tremors due to his prepared nature.
Greedy has his forcefield up the entire time to block any debris that were to fly his way. Marcus stood with his mustache glittering in the wind as his brother tries and also fail to avoid showing any signs of fear. Zerig could only give a psychotic smile due to his curiosity of what monsters await his group after the spell is over. The gigantic Carvai could only stumble around and try not to fall on any of her allies that were behind her, some who were using her as a tower to block themselves from the forces that flew ahead of them. Particle and Molecule would were scanning that massive energy readings from in front of them as the Syndicate's prized analytical machines built with the best technology the crime lord can afford. The bipedal machines could only read the best of facts with their special visors and scanning system installed for the best results. One thing they would notice are readings of two bodies appearing with their own energy readings. One is a smaller figure with large energy readings and a massive figure forming below the crevice with enormous energy readings. Particular would be the first to turn around to Mr. X for the status update.
"Two beings are appearing from the massive energy source. One with enough energy that a power plant would never obtain," he said in a robotic monotone.
"Be very cautious of the bigger one. These readings show that it would be best to evacuate if it's unstable," Molecule informs.
The crime boss nods due to being pleased with the work of his favorite machines. However, he would be more interested in who's the one responsible for hurting Jet. Ever since he learned of how selfless his own men were back in Outrun Bay, he is more than appreciative of who they are as people and would want anyone that dare were to hurt his men to be eliminated.
"Soon, you will be avenged. Nothing would satisfy me more than turning the one who did this into living Swiss cheese. No one will ever get away with harming my men on my watch," he scowled.
"What the hell are those women doing, summoning a demon?" Lan Di called.
"Precisely. This is the kind of thing you do to summon a demon. But what kind of demon it is we may have to find out soon," Rokkaku states while keeping his cool.
"You seem awfully calm about this. Have you done something like this before?" the Chinese mobster asked.
The Tokyo-To mayor thinks deeply about how to explain it to him in a way he could take him serious.
"I've done this before with a special demonic disk twice. The first time was a failure, the second was successful thanks using a special broadcast in my city while sucking all the soul from talented citizens all over. It even turned me into a demon myself with so much power, but it all ended after those GG punks managed to survive my dimension and evade all the demonic skaters that served me. I may want to revisit this plan again when the time is right," he replied in a sinister manner.
Lan Di would only be unnerved by these thoughts, but also knew that it would be a brilliant idea if it doesn't backfire in any way. The crow portal once again flashes to signify another round of villains from the northeast arriving to see if their allies were in any good condition. This next group would consist of Shadow, Elise, Saroid, Masa, and Pirika as all five appeared in a large purple flash. The Rhythm Rogue commander would glance in the direction the tremors were coming from as they were what got his interest. With his red visor, he could tell a lot of energy us trying to be contained as too much of it would wipe out the city easily.
"This is the source. It's a miracle that coming here would be a good decision as Master Purge should always have his back covered by his most trustworthy partner," he declares in a flashy pose.
Pirika would be more concerned on where her remaining Ninteldo allies were since Fare wanted to stay behind for more surveillance.
"Marcus? Zerig? Carvai? Where are you all?" The yellow girl shouts.
Elise would only wonder where her boss and fellow Deathwatch assassins were hiding in the middle of this. The voluptuous vampiress could catch wind of Frank and Little Eddie several yards away. As the largest assassins, it's not too hard to miss these brutal behemoths.
"Hopefully zee Baron is alright. Vat would be going on here that cause zeese annoying tremors," she say with her hair blowing in the wind.
The giant Carvai would notice a few familiar allies in the distance, ones she would be quite familiar with.
"Allies! It's good to see you all again," she called.
Her voice would be loud enough to echo various feet due to her gigantic body size. Pirika noticed the massive pink girl looming in the distance and screamed.
"Ca...ca...Caaarvai! What happened that made you so huge!" The frightened warrior shouts.
Masa would also notice, but didn't get his PSI abilities easy as his mind could instead tell it was her all along. Saroid is left speechless at the sight, despite being mostly silent for all her life.
"Guys, I'm so happy to see you! Let me come over there," Carvai called in joy.
She stomps her way to the smaller crowd without the single care of the ongoing tremors and powerful winds that happen around her. Pirika still shivers at the sight of someone familiar now massive heading her way toward her smaller allies. Elise would almost be smacked by the careless Carvai's massive arm thanks to flying low at the right time.
"Hey, vatch verr you're going! Zeese are my only pair of vings zat I treasure more zan your flimsy hammer!" she replies in anger.
Carvai pays no mind and continue stomping closer to her three allies. Masa would be surprised at Pirika riding behind him for safely despite him being the younger Ninteldo commander. Saroid braces herself for what would happen for the three of them soon. Soon Carvai uses a large hand to scoop up her three allies in one swoop and raise them to her large smiling face. She is highly happy to see her three allies again and begins hugging them toward her mountainous chest. Masa and Pirika suffocates from the large mounds nearly swallowing their entire body from the hug all while Saroid never flinch much due her armored mask cushioning most of the clothed funbag.
"I was so worried about you all. Whoever beat you all will face my hammer next time I see them, I miss you so much!" she shouts in bliss with tears in her eyes.
Zerig could only have a sweatdrop form at the sight of his closest ally almost unknowingly suffocating her partners with large bosoms.
She do realize that they have limited air supply, right?
Eventually, Grunty and Mishaela were reaching their limit with the powerful summon that raged on for a while. Grunty would begin gaining warts and wrinkles on her face as if she were rapidly aging. Mishaela would grow paper thin even as if she were quickly approaching Death's Door.
"We...we can do this. If the...there's a chance this we...were to all fail, it was ni..nice knowing you wi...with the little time we had together," the aging dark elf says in a weak manner.
"Same for you, my pretty. You giving me everting that I failed to achieve including my beauty. If there's a chance we both were to die, it was nice being a part of this story for many eyes," the witch replies with her eyes growing irregular like her old self.
The two would be slowly losing too much of their life energy with this summoning that even Death Adder would feel the need to get involved.
"This is foolish. This sacrifice will only be in vain when you don't have the amount of magic for it!" he shouts as he run to the source of booming magic.
Reala knew that his nightmare magic would come in handy to save his two valuable officers.
We need to act fast if we can save their lives from this risky resurrection. The Legion shall not fall.
Reala would fly high enough into the sky to get a good view of all his valuable members, looking at then with his sapphire sinister eyes.
"Everyone, those with magic should come with me and give Mishaela the strength she needs to revive all of her allies. Now go and help!" he called.
Ashra would make a run for the east with The Shaman, Neff, the Dark Demon, and Balder following them quickly. Dark Raven and Corvo happened to appear out of the crow portal to see the source of the disturbance in the area. The smaller crow sorcerer would notice the unnatural magic wavelengths spreading from the twin witches. He also would notice their bodies slowly withering away as if their life forces were disappearing.
"Master Raven, they are pouring all of their energy for something big. What do you think they are doing?" Corvo asked.
Raven could see Death Adder and Reala joining in to add their magic to mix to his surprise. The magic wavelengths would change into something more stable compared to earlier with the tremors slowly dying. Grunty and Mishaela still remained in a near dying state due to using too much of their energy. Just seeing this have Dark Raven an idea.
"Corvo, you and I would need to join them and stabilize that magic. Come!" the larger crow sorcerer called.
He levitates into the air and dash in the direction he needed to go. Dark Corvo obediently flies after his boss to help assist his fellow allies. Ashra spreads all six of his arms to insert his magic into the circle to add as much of his energy as possible. The lupine shapeshifter Shaman use his special voodoo magic emit a ghastly foreign magic on the circle as well. The Dark Demon eventually use all his energy to emit a flash of special magic from his dimensional cloak as Neff shoots all of his magic in the form of blue bolts. Balder calmly spreads his arms to add all the holy magic needed of a Lumen Sage to fuel the magic circle.
"In the name of Jubileus, grant these women with all their power to bring powerful allies," he chants.
Everyone is currently giving it their all adding magic to the circle below the feet of their two allies. Reala, Neff, Death Adder, and Balder would be putting the most effort with their additions to the magic circle. Carvai would focus her attention on the sight that's happening with her three friends still suffocating. The pink haired girl would be confused at what's going on over there.
"What's that? Everyone seems to be trying to contain it for some reason."she said.
Saroid turned her muffled mask to take a look at the unusual phenomenon occurring before her. It is one of these moments that she could just say something of value. Masa would wonder if his power would be of us while everyone is doing their absolute best to assist their ally. Pirika would still be swallowed into the deep fabric combined with Carvai's lofty gigantic chest.
"They are in the middle of trying to contain some magic force to do something. It could be big, as if they are trying to summon something huge. They aren't saying, but they are acting on it," the psychic boy said.
Pirika resurfaces her face from the large mass to see what her allies were talking about.
"What's going on? It seems like they're using their power for something. Are they planning to fuse together?" she wondered.
Masa would be dumbfounded from her suggestion as that's an ability not everyone is capable of doing. The Baron stands firmly with his cap despite the winds pushing his mouth open to reveal his grills. Mathilda planted her club deep into the ground to avoid flying away at all costs. Elise use her flock of bats as a shield to protect the winds from blowing her away while Von Twirlenkiller still use his powerful turbines to create tornado that acts like his second line of defense. The fully healed Magician would protect Curien from the winds as a favor to return for healing his near death wounds. The scientist would feel even more proud that he's once again treated with respect by his own creation instead of being belittled for once. The many people helping with their magic would soon start to succumb to the effects of their work. Reala begins to slowly fade away as a result of his nightmare energy beginning to disappear. Greedy's armor begins cracking with his already thin arms starting to shrink. Ashra's arms would begin to spaz out of control from the pressure with his face stating to sag. Death Adder's body would violently pulsate with snakes starting to appear within each swelling, revealing his true secret behind his own demonic body.
"This...is much more...than I've expected," he said in a weaker voice.
Dark Raven slowly sheds crows from his body as a sign that he's close to pushing his magical limits. Balder would soon show signs of growing weaker and older with his clean hairstyle starting to grow messier as a result. Even as one of the strongest members, this spell is taking a toll on a holy man like him. The twin angel statues on the Dark Demon's shoulders begin to rust slowly as his own terrifying mask starts to crack all over from the force. The Shaman would begin whimpering and howling in pain as if he were a wounded wolf to express that he he feel this is the last time he could ever shapeshifter if this keeps up. Speaking of which, Neff would constantly be shifting between his many forms as if he were fully losing control of his own body. First he shifts into his frail bald human form, then into the bubbling fleshy Aggar, and the cracking Fire Crocodile, then the melting Mouldy Snail that falls apart, then Eyegore with his many eyes pulsating and looking like some could burst into raw jelly.
"Aaaaaaugh...we need to stop this sooner or later. I could lose my form completely and die!" he shouts before shifting back into his familiar rhino form.
Grunty and Mishaela would begin levitating in their old states as if they were about to fly away to the heavens from this taxing spell.
"This...isn't over yet. Don't die on us now!" Reala shouts.
An unusual sight occurs in the form of Mishaela's own magic army beginning to support their superiors by adding their magic at their fullest. Then Zeed's ninja assassins would join in to support with ninpo for the mix.
"You all do realize that you could die too if you do this?" Death Adder beamed.
"Just let them help. Maybe their support could help us all in this long run. Another reason why Ramirez and Isaac are a massive lost since their magic would had helped," the shriveled Greedy replies.
"Then allow me to assist you. Bowser told me all about this group and your services are clearly needed," an elderly voice states.
Everyone turned to see one of the strangest allies they ever had. He appears to be an old yellow turtle wizard with a golden wand to match his power and pointy blue hood. The wizard appears to be calculating and determined as there are no issues he ever had with his magic.
"Just who the hell are you?" Neff asked.
"I am the great Kamek, one of Bowser's strongest magic forces and father figure that raised him to be the terrible king he is. I hope we can all get along since Bowser wants me to be of assistance for all of you," the turtle wizard replied.
A flock of other similar Koopa wizards to him would appear to add their magic to the circle for assistance. One of them would be a purple one with purple glasses that looks more like traditional witch.
"Magikoopa Squad, use all of your magic might as we've trained you for!" Kammy shouts.
The overflow of magic would bloom even further into a rising pillar of purple and blue energy. The additional assistance is helpful enough that not everyone would be feeling pain anymore from their magical presssure. Some villains would slowly heal from their wounds and no longer appear to be losing control of their dying bodies anymore. With this newfound strength, Neff pushes his magic harder than before with a yell. The Dark Demon begins to push his body to his true limits now that he's fully regained of his original power. Grunty now screams from her appearance going back to its former beauty, but eventually focus on the task at hand. Reala is relieved that his physical form is here to stay now that his strength is no longer being sapped. The crow sorcerers now try harder than before since their forms were no longer falling apart from the pressure. Even Raidou joins in using his dark ninpo to his fullest capacity.
"Corvo, let's use our magic to its absolute limits," Dark Raven commands.
"Good, Inonis can rest easy knowing that his powerful leader will never die," Greedy bluffs.
"I feel so alive. As if Jubileus herself blessed me to live for another day and make us win this war," Balder calmly states in relief.
Death Adder would joyfully let out the loudest evil laughter in a long time now that he's got the confidence to keep his powerful form.
"Let's all do this. For the Legion and gathering more new allies!" the giant shouts.
Eventually a familiar pink haired girl appears to assist them after her size returned to its original height.
"Let me be of help. Watching you all allowed me to us my Copy ability to learn magic just as strong. Better than sitting on the sidelines and letting you all have the fun," Carvai exclaims.
Her words spoke true as she begins adding her own pink magic to the circle as were everyone else to overflow the source to massive proportions.
"Good girl. The more help is quite welcome. I would had gotten the Koopalings to help, but those brats would rather be involved if only Mario is there," Kamek called.
"Who needs them, we are good enough on our own. If only Kamella were here. She's unfortunately no longer with us," Kammy cried.
"Kammy, now is not the time to be grieving the dead, we should stay focused on the task!" the blue wizard shouts.
The magic's powerful wavelengths would begin piling up into it rise into the atmosphere of the skies. It would be bright enough that anyone no matter how far away they were would be able to see it. From innocent travel planes resuming their usual flight schedules to many bird species that were traveling to other places. In Yuria, many wild Chicken Legs and Dragons would be running around from the sight of the strange light in the horizon. Their panicked expressions and constant trampling of the underbrush could only be a sign of something terrible that's about to come. Many of the chick residents of Morning Land would be scrambling around for their lives as if the morning sun would be threatened once again. Various Chicken Elders around each parts of the country would be in the middle of calming their scared citizens down. The zombies of the Curien Mansion would do nothing but moan in confusion at the sight of the massive light that reaches beyond the sky from thousands of miles away. Even the larger creatures like The Hermit and Justice would only hiss at the sight of this unusual sight. Even the monochrome citizens of Varrigan City would panic at the sight of the unfamiliar light rising into the sky. Citizens and Deathwatch thugs alike would be running around in absolute chaos instead of trying to chase each other as usual. A familiar brown clad man stands above a tower in Virgrid to get the view of both the light and the moon that rise in the distance. The man could only brush his rugged chin to think about what would had been the cause of this strange situation.
"Bayonetta, I hope you are alright out there," he said in a serious manner.
Many people on a familiar sky island would be beginning to gather near the port to look at the unusual sight. Women and children were the most afraid while the men would only wonder if here's something their mayor could do about this. Among them would be a mature pirate with a cigar in his mouth and green parrot sitting on his shoulder. He was a former member of the Blue Rogues before disbanding with them some time ago to pursue his own path. However he would know that this retirement would be short lived with the world in this bad state at the moment. The man takes out his cigar and blows so much smoke to clear his throat.
"Vyse, I'll be coming back to you little crew soon. Give me time to gather the other ex-members and we should meet again," he said with a grin.
"Raaaawk! Blue Rogues reunion happening soon. Ready when you are, Captain Gilder," the parrot squawked.
The streets of Tokyo-To would be utter chaos with many SWAT members and Rokkaku police that were patrolling the streets only scared stiffed by the sight of the magical pillar of light in the distance. Members of rudie gangs like the Rapid 99 and Poison Jam would use this opportunity to escape their wrath while they were completely distracted.
"Alright gang, let's run away while we still can!" the new Poison Jam leader called.
The Noise Tanks, Love Shockers, and Immortals would still stand their ground as they would rather reclaim their streets back despite their number one competition the GGs being dismantled weeks ago.
"Immortals, we shouldn't run like scarabs looking for shit. These police punks need to be taught a lesson than to mess with us!" a bandaged leader shouts.
The leader of the Noise Tanks would only adjust his special goggles before whipping out some good spray paint cans.
"Noise Tanks, we can crush these bastards while they are distracted. No way that we will not miss this opportunity of being the top gang in our city," he called.
A female gang member would breakdance before breaking out her own special red cans. With her fiery personality and intimidating eyepatch, she had no time to just retreat and not miss an opportunity to rise against the oppressive system.
"Love Shockers, we will not falter. That bald dumbass Rokkaku will rue the day he thinks that he can take all of us out while we are still standing. Dodge the tanks and copters, but kick the asses of the cops and their deadly mutts. They should lose their numbers if we can work together while we still got our numbers," the leader called.
One officer would snap out of his trance and notice the three large rudie gangs still ready to fight.
"Just who do you all think you are dealing with? We are the law and you all are just a bunch of brats that only get in our way because of your own organized vandalism and fights. We will rid every single of one of you and make Tokyo-To a better city!" he shouts while restraining the bloodthirsty Doberman in his possession.
The black and brown canine barks loudly with drool spitting everywhere to show his taste for tearing up young criminals with his fangs. One cop fires a warning shot, that a few of the Love Shockers managed to dodge in time. He's now madder than before knowing that these teens didn't know when it's alright to remain silent. Another would order a squad hiding in a tank to prepare a powerful shell to fire at the Immortals.
"Fire, make them know that we are serious about this!" he yells.
The bandaged rudies would already be on their guard for what's about to hit them. A stationed helicopter would have their guns ready to gun down the unsuspecting Noise Tanks that couldn't sense their presence.
"Ready when you are, sir. Let's send these spray painting brats straight to Hell in the name of Rokkaku!" the pilot shouts.
The remaining gangs of Tokyo-To were in a bigger pinch than before and didn't want to stand down without a fight. Many villagers in Oasis would be coming out of their homes to see this mysterious light. Some would begin praying that their ruler Ali would one day return to protect their homes again from this sudden evil. Some possessed guards would appear with their swords in hand to threaten the people.
"What are you doing outside of your homes? Get in under the orders of the Legion of Subspace!" one guard called.
They would eventually turn to see exactly what the source of the commotion is and be surprised themselves. The sight they could see is nothing like they experienced before. Monkey Village would be raided by the monkey space pirate as an act of revenge for their defeat in the pass. Captain Crabuchin plows through the wave of powerful robots Bad Boon had patrolling the villain to keep all citizens in check. His massive golden claws would be enough to crush the many steel bodies that dared opposed the massive brute. The burly pirate primate only chuckles that his strength never waned since the last time the monkey heroes defeated him. His fellow pirate crewmates would do their job at stealing any foraged bananas for the taking along with valuable loot for their flying ship.
"Ohahaha raughaugh eeek koohaugh!" he screeched in victory.
His monkey crew replies with a series of excited hoots and bellows to show their captain that this is their finest hour. Meanwhile, a familiar squad of Extreme Gear racers would speed through the late night seas of Seaside Hill to follow the source of that mysterious light. Their leader had a bad feeling that this world is in bigger danger than he had expected.
"Babylon Rogues, remember the usual rules. Don't let your guard down and never get off your Extreme Gear unless necessary. With or without Sonic, we can do this ourselves and steal his glory. Think of all the money we could be paid for our contributions," the green hawk shouts.
Eventually his pupils will become ring shaped with his usual fantasies of being paid a big bounty. The pink haired swallow sighs that this is their same leader they've raced with for a while.
"Jet, sometimes you have to think these plans through. These are powerful villains united in a large group. We can't take them all down with just the three of us," the concerned Wave replies.
"Well maybe that offer to join the Blue Rogues is still open. We could team up with them and have the numbers we need to crush those wannabe bad guys," Storm says in confidence.
"But the first part of the plan is seeing how tough they are and learning about their motives. Nothing wrong with some espionage. And if we were to be attacked, we can just Gear Change our Extreme Gear into faster models or use a Zero Gravity Boost to get out of there in time. The latter will come in handy since it can affect time and gravity to our advantage," the hawk boasts.
Wave shakes her head and Storm has no way to react to his boss.
"Well..good idea Boss. We all want so do everything we can to beat Team Sonic at their own game and be rewarded for it. They aren't doing much themselves but be irresponsible. We can use this moment to take matters into our own hands and gather strong allies to help," the large albatross beamed.
"That's the spirit, Storm. We aren't afraid of these Lowlife of Dubspace losers. We beat the guardian to our ancestors' greatest treasure and defeated that one giant robot that almost destroyed our world with a black hole. And of course there's that Eggman clown we beat at his own game many times. He obviously has something to do with all of this," Jet says with his eyes on the prize.
"Of course Eggman has to do with this. He would be smart enough to gather many powerful forces to work for him as long as he feels powerful enough to take over this world. I don't want to give him too much credit, but he may have the best plan ever and could succeed if any of us or other heroes were to fail," Wave replied.
"Well, failure is not an option. Not when we are the Babylon Rogues and have an important job that could get us rich if we work together effectively. Think of our ancestors, they achieved almost everything years ago. Us failing would only stain their legacy and we can't have that. That's why I feel that it's our turn to be the heroes of this world instead of that hedgehog all the time. We can kick their butts, never let your guard down!" he announced.
The three free riders keep speeding their way across the azure seas leaving trails of light to show their blinding speed. All with their goal of being the heroes this world needed instead of their usual treasure hunting selves. Flocks of dragons of many colors would be flying in fear in the Land of Dragons from the magical pillar in the sky. This magical pillar is big enough that even many parts of the planet is able to see this phenomenon as it means bad things to come. The citizens of Kamurocho would be watching the from the many Japanese buildings in the district. This wasn't all as many yakuza thugs were using this chance to fight for more territory in the alleys in the middle of the confusion. The bloodshed and mayhem were only the result of greed for more territory while the city is in chaos and some citizens were terrorized by these new possessed officers that happened since the Subspace appeared in the Maneki District. Wood Oak City would once again be in chaos, thanks to the many jails being susceptible to prison break. Citizens would be chased or even beaten by the escaped convicts due to remnants of the Syndicate setting them free. Mr. X's goal of a lawless city wasn't too far off and this was only the beginning since he's aiming to gain the forces of many criminals worldwide with the help of the Legion. A criminal with a knife would be chasing a woman for rejecting his sexual advances. She run with all her might to escape his intent and bladed weapon.
"Please, get away from me! The Wood Oak Police will put an end to your terror!" she cried with tears flying from her eyes.
"Your first mistake was not wanting to give me some sugar. And those Wood Oak Police are too busy cowering with their powerhouses running around the world. Effectively this is our city and we can do whatever we want. Stop resisting and let me enjoy your body!" the criminal shouts.
Suddenly a bat would swing and smash itself upon his lustful face. This is the work of a mysterious man of Japanese descent wearing a nice suit and having many tattoos over his body. His most striking features are his black eyepatch and slick black hairstyle. The woman would be thankful that she is saved by someone other than the police.
"Thank you, you saved my life. I'll do anything to repay you," she cried.
The man gets back into a more battle ready stance once more thugs arrived to assist their fallen ally.
"What the hell just happened? Did this asshole hurt you, Jimbo?" a purple haired thug asked.
The second one would take a look at the man's appearance and seen these tattoos that seemed too unfamiliar to him.
"Well this punk is not from around these parks. What the hell is a Japanese criminal doing here?" he said in caution.
The man pats the bat in his hands in a threatening manner and leered his crazy eyes at more potential targets.
"My my, aren't you all quite the classless criminals. Perhaps you all should learn why the Yakuza are at the top of the food chain. My name is Goro Majima, the Mad Dog of Shimano. Perhaps it's time for me to teach all of you some manners," the man says in a threatening and flashy manner.
"That bitch was mine, and you have no idea what the hell you are doing being on our turf!" the bleeding thug shouts.
"Your bitch? That woman belonged to anyone but you. Maybe it's time you see why I'm the Mad Dog since my bat is itching for more blood," Majima says in a crazed manner.
Soon, he leaps at all three thugs with his bat in air for a powerful strike. Outrun Bay would be improved since its attack earlier with many beach goers enjoying themselves in the sand. Some of them would catch wind of the massive magic pillar in the distance and knew that these were not fireworks this late in summer. A woman would hug her child tightly in fear knowing that this is another sign of the Legion's terror.
"All people on Outrun Bay Beach, stay where you are. We will not evacuate until something happens in this area!" the lifeguard called through his megaphone.
The panicked citizens could only do nothing but watch the sight from their spots since their fun peaceful atmosphere is ruined by its appearance. Red Mountain is now flooded with Eggman's many robots for extra security since the destruction of Hell's Cavern. Spinners, Flamers, Kikis, Egg Launchers, Egg Pawn, and Egg Fighters patrol the these Rocky Mountain trails for any intruder that were to get involved in their plans. One Egg Pawn would notice something in the distance and turn its orange small head around. It would keep staring at this mysterious figure to scan its appearance for accuracy. Then its vision would become blurry with static fizzing. It appears to have a boomerang stuck in its face that someone threw at it. Other Badniks and Egg Pawn around grow more alert thanks to seeing one of their own harmed. The Egg Launcher would fire twin large missiles at the figure in an attempt to blast it down. The explosions ensues with clouds of dust thanks to the robot's plan. However the few spinners were not convinced and decided to cover in that direction to check for any signs of life. The next thing that happens is a quick figure kicking them at high speed. They eventually explode to reveal two Flickies flying away. The figure attacks the Egg Pawn with a kick before taking the boomerang out of its it head and begin attacking the other robots up close with it. Flames would soon their fireballs around rapidly in an attempt to burn their target alive.
The figure eventually uses a wooden bo to launch herself into the air to dodge their fire. Then she strikes the heads of the defenseless red robots to crack them open. A Pocky and Cucky appeared from the inside, leaving the confused rabbit and chicken wondering what happened to them. Series of Egg Fighters and Egg Launchers were launched away by the massive mace this unknown female warrior wielded. The robotic primate Kikis would begin throwing bombs at their unknown attacker. She would pull out a net to grab these bombs in time to stop their explosion and begin swinging the trapped bombs around thanks to her Olympics experience. The few freed animal friends would keep their distance to avoid being hurt only to be frightened by the sight of more Eggman's forces heading down the trail to fight off the intruder. The two birds, chicken, and rabbit huddled together in fear to avoid being hurt. Their savior eventually throw the net wrapped bombs at the defenseless robot monkeys to blow them up for good. This result in their robotic bodies being destroyed, leaving Picky the Pig and Rocky the Seal to fly out of the broken steel shells.
"There there, you're free now. And my goal is to save all these animals from that Egg Moron. I knew the government was in cahoots with him when the world's in chaos," the honey badger said.
Based on her wild assumption and paranoid behavior, this is none other than Sticks. Someone who lived alone in the jungles of Mystic Ruins to survive in the wild. She's still a good friend of Sonic and friends regardless and joined the Olympic Games with them one time for the sport of archery. Her personal mission would involve keeping hidden from the GUN and police due to lack of trust in either of parties and saving any animals that were forced to be batteries for Eggman's robots. Rows of Egg Fighters, Badniks, and Egg Pawn would be charging at their intruder with their weapons ready. The six freed animals scrambled behind Sticks for safety since they wouldn't want to be kidnapped by these mechanical brutes again. Sticks held out her arm to tell these critters to stay back and breaks out her homemade wooded nunchunks for close combat. She quickly flip the swinging tools around her with precision and ease before stopping with her hand forward.
"Stay back, little ones. Because these tin government dogs will be reduced to scrap metal in no time. Banzai!" the paranoid badger shouts.
Puyo Land would be in a state of ruins thanks to many brainwashed skeletons and Mages keeping all citizens of this magical country in control. However a few wouldn't take kindly to this and rebel against their oppressors. One skeleton is punched into pieces by a familiar orange carp with human limbs. Backing him up with be a winged being with bad singing skills and a witch in dark blue clothing. More evil skeletons would approach the rebels with a menacing purple aura.
"These bone heads are all over the place. But we got to take them all out if it means freedom. Witch, Harpy, let's break everyone out of this crisis!" Suketoudara commands.
Harpy begins singing out of tune to force the skeletons to cover their non-existent ears from the shrill sound of her voice.
"Do re mi fa so la ti do! I'll break out here with my sing-ing!" the pink haired being sings.
Witch begin charging a massive amount of magic in her hand.
"Here comes the big one, Black Hole!" she calls.
A massive swirling blue mass would appear in the sky and pulls with massive force. One by one, all skeletons would be sucked into the vortex to be swallowed completely from the sight. Some skeletons would try throwing parts of themselves to escape but the effort would be shown as futile. Suketoudara and Harpy grins at their excellent teamwork working out quite well. It wasn't until four figures appeared in their place to destroy the black hole with their superior magic. This caught Witch off guard as only few powerful mages can overpower her spells.
"Damn it, we've got to face these things again," she complained.
These were all doppelgängers based on Arle with a sinister aura to them. One in particular one time tried to take over Puyo Land by force in the past which spells trouble for the three rebels. Harpy would be too shocked to sing again like she usually does. Suketoudara could only drown since facing one Arle is bad enough and now there's four of them to take on.
"You three have been very naughty. Thinking you can get out of here alive," the first doppelgänger said.
"Even without that traitor Satan, we are still in charge of keeping everything here in check. In the name of Mistress Lilith," the second doppelgänger says with an evil grin.
"Just give up and head back to the Puyo Labor Camps like good people or else you will make her quite upset," the third one taunts.
"This is your last warning. Because fighting all four of us guarantees a death none of you can recover from," the final one announce in a serious manner.
The three rebels know that they are in the deepest trouble as long as these four evil clones are here to block their only means of escaping. Witch however figures that any risks are worth taking instead of being back to more hours of stacking Puyos for building walls all day.
"Try us, we will gladly take the risk instead of being your puppets again. Speaking of which, doesn't that make you the bigger puppets for being her cronies?" the witch remarked with a grin.
Just these words would be enough to anger all four of the Arle clones, their sinister aura expanding from the built up anger. Suketoudara and Harpy gets on their guard thanks to Witch daring to anger all of them at all.
"That's it, you all will be executed and Lilith will enjoy the looks on your melting faces!" they shout in unison.
The seven would begin their clash of a heated battle in the real Arle and Schezo's absence. Seasonal Shrines would seem two ninja defending the important area from enemy Zeed ninja that were tasked with fighting off intruders. One of the ninja would be wearing a black suit with armored parts, a multi eyed mask, and long flowing red cap. The other would be a powerful kunoichi with a red and white suit and long katana. The two were fending off waves of ninja that threatened their presence for interfering with their plans. These were elite ninja that Zeed especially entrusted with this area's protection.
"Hotsuma, we will have to do our best to protect this place. Joe may be gone, but we are here to make sure nothing is destroyed here," the kunoichi called.
"Understood, Hibana. We will carry on Joe's will as the ninja to defend Tokyo from trouble. I have a bad feeling about all of this," Hotsuma states after cutting down a ninja.
Waves of ninja would be put down by the many kunai and shiruken thrown around them. More ninja will appear from the many trees to back up their fallen allies.
"Ka'en!" Hotsuma shouts to do one of his famous techniques.
Various balls of fire appeared as a result of his ninja scroll and circles at a fast rate to burn the surrounding ninja that tried to attack him. Many of them would be scorched and too wounded to keep fighting thanks to this powerful ninpo. Some would be charging for Hibana while she's open for an attack.
"Your first mistake was underestimating your opponent. Raijin!" she shouts while gathering electricity in her sword.
This created a miniature shield of electricity to protect her body from any harm. The few ninja that still attacked would be surging with powerful volts traveling through their bodies. Ninja dropped to the ground one by one from their fatal mistake of attacking a Raijin coated kunoichi in battle. The fight is far from over when more ninja would appear and several powerful demons juiced up on Shadow Fiends tearing down the trees in their path. The two ninja warriors would get into their stance to anticipate a longer fight than they had expected as the only defenders in Joe's place. One large demon would let out a roar that echoes throughout the entire shrine in ferocity. Even the clear rivers violently ripple with many sakura petals being pushed closer to the shrine's shore.
"We shall not fall in the name of Joe Musashi. Hibana, let's do this!" the belligerent ninja called.
Both warriors would leap at their new wave of intruders to defeat in a difficult battle. In another part of Japan would be the famous Imperial Combat Revue taking on waves of possessed Koubu units controlled by demons in the street. The task force members would fight bravely in their armored mechs to slice away at the enemy that threatens their beloved imperial theatre. These enemies were different as the shadow within them takes the hits and prevent the steam powered meshes from falling apart from the most severe attacks. One of the task force members in a purple Koubu would notice this after trying to slice its blade wielding arm off clean.
"Will these things ever die? We aren't going to let our years of work go to waste if they want to destroy our home base," Sumire Kanzaki states in desperation.
Not even the advancements of the current Koubu Nishiki models were enough to fend off these outdated but powerful Koubu units that threatened them. A black Koubu charged at the enemy double that almost hurt her ally then stabs it in its chest for that piercing effect. The purple Koubu backs away to give her ally more room to fight off this enemy.
"The first rule of thumb is to always attack the front. There has to be a pilot inside and they would give in to their wounds if you pressure them enough,"Maria Tachibana coldly spoke.
Her plan seems to be working at first as the mech struggles to react, then it would grab the black Koubu's blade to try pushing it out of its body. Maria felt that these were no ordinary enemies if they can shrug off a stab in the same spot their pilot should be in. Then a red Koubu jumps in to kick the mech away at full force before it could do any harm to her ally.
"Look alive, you can't be letting them get to you like that Maria," Kohran Li called.
The enemy mech flies away towards a building and crash into it, causing it to fall apart completely from the shock and shadows to fly out of it. This would give the team a better idea of how to deal with them.
"You are a genius, Kohran. We would have to keep attacking them until they no longer have time to fix themselves. Imperial Flower Division, roll out!" Maria called.
The entire division lines up as a blockade in front oof their home base with a goal to protect it at all costs. Their Koubu have their blades ready for an endless battle ahead of them in the name of their missing comrades Ichiro and Sakura. In another area, the remaining Burning Rangers team would be in the middle of fending off enemy fire robots and putting down the flames that threatened an entire forest in the far. Chris Parton would serve as the temporary leader since Tillis and Shou long left on their own personal missions to help the world.
"Alright Burning Rangers, we will have to do our best to stop all fires and defeat these mechanical pests. They chose to mess with the ecosystem and we will not let them get away with it. Show them what we are all made of," she ordered to his fellow team.
Lead Phoenix, Big Landman, and the newest member Ilia Klein splits up to focus on the fires around the forest and dealing with their own mechanical enemies. Like Tillis and Shou, they wielded special water guns that fired pressurized water that are potent enough to cut through steal and put out the toughest of all fires. Soon many trees would have their powerful flames subdued by the water blasts and some of the fire mechs responsible for their actions were damaged by each powerful shot. Some of these mechs would try fighting back with powerful jet powered flamethrowers from their hands to burn their flying pests. But fortunately the Burning Rangers would be too fast to be hit by their deadly flames.
"Sorry, but it will take more than a little heat to stop me," Ilia taunts.
She double teamed with Lead to take down one mech with shoots all around its upper body to destroy it. Big and Chris would focus on a large fire robot by breaking its hands to strip it of its only means to cause more forest fires. Then the two would fly higher to aim for its head.
"Time for you to cool down, hothead!" Big called.
The end result would be the two blasting the robot's head clean off with a dual charged blast from their water guns. Eventually, a fast flying possum knight would fly past the forest from above with his eyes on finding the source of that massive light in the distance. This is someone new who's kingdom was under attack by the Legion several weeks ago and has his fierce eyes on his destination. Another flying hero that will follow him is a spacesuit wearing worm riding his famous Pocket Rocket with the white rocket flying against his own stomach. He prefers riding this way if it means being able to look ahead and behind him with how flexible his pink head is. The groovy worm had a few questions for his new ally since he seems too sure of himself.
"So Sparkster, are you sure that this is the way? Because I'm feeling air sick after flying through the sky of this planet too long," Earthworm Jim asked.
The flying possum knight would keep flying ahead of him thanks to his rocket propelled armor.
"Yes, my slimy pink friend. I'm sure we will find our enemies over here. We've been struggling finding their base for too long and finally found them. But I'd raise my guard since this could seem too easy. Like it could be a trap waiting for us," the serious Sparkster replied.
The worm would squint his eyes to be more serious about this mission despite his usual goofy personality.
"You may have a point. This all seems like a fly zapper way of bringing us to them. Not that I'm afraid since nothing in the universe scares this annelid. I even defeated Queen-Slug-For-A-Butt, Professor Monkey-For-A-Head, Evil the Cat, and Bob the Killer Goldfish," Jim gloats.
That last part would lead Sparkster to sweatdrop in confusion during his flight.
Wow, this worm guy is actually very strong. All more of a reason why we can't lose this fight.
The two would keep flying in course toward the rising light in the distance. A taxi would be high speed riding through the streets of Crazyville at speeds even BD Joe would blush at. Several high speed police cars would be pursuing the fast moving vehicle to try capturing their target.
"This is your last warning! Pull over or we will be forced to shoot you!" a possessed cop called to the crazy taxi.
This taxi is ridden by two familiar drivers that BD Joe knew too well, an older man with black hair and a sexy young woman with long red hair. Their passengers in the backseat would be a young shirtless party animal with red hair and a cool dude with a red open shirt and white hair. They would be chased due to not abiding by the Legion's rules of no more fast driving in the city they taken over.
"Eat my dust, slowpokes!" Gus shouts.
Gena laughs at her partner being his cool self at their not so friendly pursuers following them. Slash and Angel looked behind to see the purple hellish eyes of their chasers on their tale. These cops were serious about wanting to kill these taxi drivers just for doing their job the way they wanted.
"So uncool, we can't party with these no-fun nancies oh our tail," the party animal complained.
"These fools wouldn't like me when I'm angry. But staying calm is a better strategy when we are driving over sixty miles per hour right now," Slash replies.
"Guys, relax. I know what I'm doing since driving at these speeds are my game. But you know why we are doing this, because BD Joe and our missing buddy Axel wouldn't stand for this level of control in the West Coast. These beautiful streets don't deserve to be controlled by these freaks," Gus says with his head turned back to the passengers.
"Uh Gus Dude, keep your eyes on the road or we'll crash," Gena said in caution.
The driver turned to see that he would run into what appears to be a blockade of many police cars. All four taxi riders screamed at the sight before them with little time to brake in time. In the eastern part of town, many familiar Virtua Fighters would be seen fending off the many Dural doppelgängers creates by the Shadow Beasts to corner them. These fighters would be Kage-Maru, Jeffrey McWild, Lion Rafale, Shun Di, Aoi Umenokouji, Taka-Arashi, Brad Burns, Vanessa Lewis, Jean Kujo, and El Blaze. They all gotten the message from Akira to head for a certain port to be picked up for their biggest battle yet. The first time these competes would ever settle their differences instead of seeing who's the strongest fighter.
"These guys are nothing compared to the original Dural. It almost makes me sad how easy these fakes are," Jeffrey said with a grin.
Him and Jean teamed up to overpower one Dural clone that approached them.
"Pai and Sarah are thankfully safe. But it's up to us to join up with the other fighters to save our world," Kage-Maru states after slamming a Dural clone.
Brad and Aoi fought evenly to take out a few clones that jumped them from behind. El Blaze tackles another clone from a fence as Taka-Arashi pushed a clone away with powerful sumo slaps.
"Only a few more and we can catch up with Akira. This city may be saved another time when we grow in numbers. It would take more than a tournament full of fighters to fend off these creatures," Lion called.
In a distant desert ocean, a lone sand ship is seen traveling the distant dunes. The remaining World Destruction Committee members are seen on the deck of this ship in hopes of reuniting with their captain.
"Full speed ahead, we have to find Morte to give her all the backup," Agan Mardrus announced.
"Right, because we have a world to save instead of it being changed once again," the serious Rhi'a Dragunel said with her pistols ready.
"We will be there for you and put an end to the Legion's plans," Naha Gref said in confidence.
An airplane is seen flying above the speeding sand ship, being none other than a private plan owned by Master Chen from a familiar Chinese trading harbor. The passengers other than the famous man would be Chen Guizhang, Goro Mihashi, Ren Wuying, Hong Xiuying, Wong, and Xun Fangmei. All were Ryo's closest of allies that were seeking his whereabouts since last hearing of his time in the Maneki District.
"We're coming to find you Ryo. Soon as we gotten your call, we knew it would be a time to travel from home," Ren said in a time of excitement.
He's someone who would be close to a rival for Ryo and one of his greatest allies in the past. Now it seems the magic being compiled in the Legion's magic circle is reaching its peak as everything began to grow unstable. The pillar of pink energy pulsates violently with the circle beginning to crack the ground below. Neff would be the first to notice and wondered if there's something they all could do. Reala and Dark Raven also noticed the instability as there was a point of no return.
"We've been putting so much magic into this thing that it may explode. Everyone, try and stop using your magic!" the jester ordered.
Some would start subsiding their contributions to the magic using and various magical foot soldiers would follow the orders of their superiors. Even stopping the magic wouldn't be enough as Grunty and Mishaela were still in their magic induced trance to stop right now. Death Adder could sense that something is about to happen soon.
"Everyone, get back, it's going to overload!" he called.
The many magic using villains quickly escape the area frantically to go for safety.
"Everyone near the ships, get inside now or things will get rough!" Dark Raven ordered.
The entire Legion quickly scrambled for the drop doors of their respective ships for safety with the little time they had. Despite their worries for their two remaining allies, they knew that running from what would happen as the only option. While Hiyashi and Onishima fight over who got in first, an entire group of Deathwatch members rush them inside. Greedy, Neff, Dark Corvo, Kamek, Kammy Koopa, and Dark Raven already had teleported within the warships for safety to await everyone else's safety. Gruntilda and Mishaela would continue rising into the unstable pillar of magic as the pact nears its climax with their bodies still unable to respond. The warship doors would slowly lift into the air to begin closing once everyone is loaded safely onto the ship. Reala would be the last one inside to get one quick glimpse at the scene. Eventually, the stockpile of overflowed magic would finally explode violently. The clouds now expand into something akin to a mushroom shape with massive shockwaves flying from the base of the resulting explosion. This force would rattle the warships with several strong pushes from the end result. These forces would begin traveling at a fast rate beyond even the entire city of Speed Highway itself. What happened that day would only be the beginning of a global accident.
Wew, that was alot. The Magician gets a wake up call for his constant abuse of Dr Curien and superiority complex by Death Adder, Grunty and Mishaela would begin the process of summoning two powerful Shining villains, Carvai kills Max D Cap all in the name of food, Reala and Zerig teach an important lesson that would help their united villain organization in the long run, many new allies are joining the heroes due to contacts or discovering the magic chain reaction from Speed Highway, and the summoning attempt results in a deadly explosion. What became of the Legion will be explained in the next chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it. Don't forget to review or rate. See you all next Saturday.
