35. Mega Crash Pit

Veil Of Greed: Hunt For The Numbers

Chapter 35: Mega Crash Pit

Date: May 17th, 2023

Muscleman woke up in his trailer, mere days after the minecart fiasco and following other random events where he and others ended up in other worlds to say goodbye to Mordecai and Rigby who were now planning on quitting their jobs at the park for good. However, when he went outside, his eyes widened. "Wooooah! No way! This is awesome! The crash pit is back! No, it's the Mega Crash Pit now! I just have to crash something into it! I just gotta!" Benson soon arrives to speak to Muscleman: "Hey, Muscleman. Make sure to be at the house in 30 minutes. We're going to say goodbye to Mordecai and Rigby together. Please be ready to- WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?! I THOUGHT I HAD THAT PIT FILLED! WHY IS IT BACK AND BIGGER THAN EVER?!" "Look, Benson. Calm down. It wasn't my fault. Can we just crash something into it one last time before Mordecai and Rigby leave?" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WASN'T- *tears up* Okay.. Okay.. We'll do that. Just please start filling it back in tomorrow. I'm sure Mordecai and Rigby can find something fitting to crash from a junkyard. No, forget it, there's not enough time. Mr. Mallard is going to put more funds into the park for now on. We can afford to crash one of the golf carts under the new budget." 30 minutes later, all park staff members are together with one of the golf carts ready to be crashed. Muscleman, Mordecai, Rigby, and High Five Ghost are in that cart. Meanwhile, Skips and Benson hop into Benson's car to watch it up close and personal. "I can't believe you allowed this, Benson." "I love those guys. I'm going to miss Mordecai and Rigby, Skips. They should be seen off with a bang. Eileen should be joining us in this car soon and then, we'll begin this." Eileen then hops into Benson's car. "Thank you guys for this! I know my love Rigby very much appreciates this as does Mordecai. Put the pedal to the metal, Benson! Let's go!" "Everyone, are you all ready?" "I'm ready! You know who else is ready? My mom!" The others state similar things and so, the golf cart starts moving as does the car after it.

Everyone braces for the excitement. Benson makes sure his car reaches the edge of the Mega Crash Pit first so he, Skips, and Eileen can properly watch as the golf cart is sent into the pit. When those on the cart get close to the pit on the cart, they all jump off at the same time. "Woohoo! Oh yeah! This is going to be so awesome bros! Fives, high five!" "Oh, right!" "Let me get some of those fives!" "Yeah man, what Mordecai just said!" "Okay, okay! Chill out!" Everyone ends up high fiving one another as they ended up having the time to do so as the cart fell deeper and deeper into the pit. "Uhh, why isn't the cart exploded yet?" "Muscleman, if I have to guess, this pit that mysteriously appeared overnight is far deeper and more dangerous than any of us could have expected." "Wait, why are you telling us this now, Skips?" "Mordecai, I had a bad feeling about this but I didn't want to take away your fun. We'll even go on one last crazy adventure together if this pit was made by somebody with sinister intentions. The cart is still falling which means this pit might even reach down into the Earth's core." "Woah man, that's seriously deep!" "Hey Rigby, you know who else is seriously deep? My mom!" And that's when they finally hear the explosion. It's a good thing Benson moved his car back very far because the explosion was far bigger than any the old crash pit had ever emitted in the past. They all gasped as the explosion was gone the instant it began. It even sent them back and some cards which had crashed into the ground the night before to create the pit unbeknownst to them were ejected into the air above. They landed next to Muscleman who picked them out. "Guys! Check out these cards that came out of the bottom of this Mega Crash Pit! Free stuff! Awesome!" But then, the infamous number aura surrounded him as 6 number symbols appeared on his body. Furthermore, the English theme for most number card summons just starts playing out of nowhere. "Muscleman! What's going on? Why do you have a sinister aura around you? And who is playing that ominous and terrifying music?"

"Mordecai.. I want to crash everything. And you know who else wants to crash everything? My mom." "MUSCLEMAN, WE HAVE NO TIME FOR CRASHING MORE CRAP! WE'RE GOING TO SAY GOODBYE TO MORDECAI AND RIGBY NOW! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!" Muscleman's eyes glow with darkness. "Benson, I know what you're trying to say but you don't get it. I want to crash everything. That means all of you too." "I was afraid of this. Muscleman is possessed by forces from beyond our universe that I cannot even hope to fully comprehend myself." Muscleman then runs off and quickly comes back literally with the park's entire house being held up with ease by himself. "This is going to be the next thing to be crashed!" "MUSCLEMAN! DON'T YOU DARE THROW OUR HOUSE INTO THAT CRASH PIT OR ELSE YOU'RE FIRED!" "I don't care anymore! I'm going to crash the entire world into this pit!" Muscleman gets into Benson's car and uses it to crash the house into the pit. "MUSCLEMAN! AAAAAAA! YOU'RE SO FIRED FOR RUINING THIS SOMBER MORNING AND DESTROYING MY CAR AND THE HOUSE!" "Benson, we have bigger things to worry about. He won't listen to reason so we will have to defeat him the old fashioned way." "Not more fighting! Fine! Let's just get this over with and get everything fixed eventually." "Benson, we don't have any weapons. But we do have allies. Skips, can you contact our immortal allies? Rigby, you go get the others except for the baby ducks. I'll go get the baby ducks myself." "BUT WHAT ABOUT US?!" That's when myself, Nya, Yufa, Sasuke, Mitsuru, Marceline, Trixie, Isabelle, Tony, and Furok all show up. "We'll be helping you. Muscleman's power level is too high for you and all your allies to beat him." "It's you! The one who helped us WHEN THAT WEIRDO POSED AS POPS!" "Yeah and we've seen each other since then. Myself and these comrades of mine all know the situation. Don't worry about that. But I have a feeling we will need all of us plus all of your allies to defeat Muscleman who has come under the possession of numbers." "WHAT THE HELL ARE NUMBERS?!" "I thought we briefed all of you last time. Wait, that didn't happen. I promised to myself but never did come back to explain it all. Oh well."

It soon stopped mattering what I told them or not. That's because Muscleman caught all of us off guard. As a result, I was sent falling for many kilometers down to the Earth's core. As I fell, I managed to draw my sword and brace for impact/brace for stabbing some rock with my sword. I actually did do that just in time before I fell into lava. I would have lasted a bit under lava but not long. Certainly longer than most but that literally wouldn't have mattered because I would have still burned to death anyway. I was now hanging over the lava thanks to only my sword. I need to get the hell out of here somehow and fast enough to face the possessed Muscleman. I don't have nearly enough agility or training to climb or run up the wall fast enough to survive. I have to think creatively which is extremely difficult in the position I'm in. Just barely hanging on over lava thanks to my sword. After several minutes of just barely managing to hang on without falling and losing my sword in the process, I finally figured out a way out. I imagined a jetpack with more than enough fuel to get to the top of the pit that goes over my back and so on. As a result, it took me a lot of concentrating to pull it off but I did it and after 10 minutes of just hanging around, I was launching out of the pit with my sword back in my hand. I reached the top and got myself to land in the middle of the fight that was now going on without me. The park staff were now armed with space travel level guns that Skips apparently found while getting the immortals they're allies with. Muscleman was having trouble fighting everyone at once and was losing by the time I finally got back up. But when he saw me return and the allies of the park show up, he shouted: "NO MORE HOLDING BACK! IM GOING TO CRASH ALL OF YOU AND EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD INTO THIS MEGA CRASH PIT AND NONE OF YOU WILL BE ABLE TO STOP ME!" A overlay network appears above him. He enters it and undergoes a transformation. When he emerges from it, Muscleman is now much bigger, more muscular, and looks like a nightmarish boss monster. "What the hell, Muscleman! This is crazy!"

"Rigby, I'm so going to crash you next!" Muscleman's feet transform into literal rocket boosters. He starts using them to pick us up one by one into the pit. However, Isabelle, the adorable dog from Animal Crossing snaps. "That's very inconsiderate of you! We will stop you! MUSCLEMAN!" The ground starts to shake violently for some reason. "Damn it, this feels like Gohan Beast all over again. I shouldn't hold back either. This enemy is not one to be taken lightly no matter how much he enjoys making my mom jokes." Piccolo transforms into Orange Piccolo right as Sasuke activates his Sharingan. "Feel the black flames of the Sharingan, enemy!" "Buzz! Buzz! Don't forget about me! Emblem charge! With pinpoint precision.. Stinger, unleash the swarm! And also.. *pulls out a axe and crowbar* I'll put my martial arts training to the test!" Marceline hisses and prepares herself for a real fight. Yufa moves further back to support all of us as best as she can with her healing. Nya stares at Muscleman with determination. "I'm ready to face you! I don't have my elemental powers but I still have my spinjiitzu! Ninja, go!" "And now, the great and powerful Trixie will use everything she has to fight!" "Furok! Let's do this! Energy Blast!" "Right, Tony! Don't forget to use your own fighting skills as well in this battle." Tony nods at the dream creature. Isabelle continues to power up with a purple aura going on. And then, it peaks, transforming her into.. Dark Princess Isabelle? Why?! "Now I'm Purified Dark Princess Isabelle! This form lay dormant in me for years! Former Mayor Adam aka Swiftdrawer! Let me show you this form at its best! We will save this world and make everyone in it smile! I have the power I was given when I was brainwashed by the Supreme Dark Lord all over again along with more!" And so, I had to get serious too. I ready my sword before beginning a flurry of attacks which only gave Muscleman minor injuries. It was clear that we wouldn't need any reinforcements but the fight was still going to be very long and tough. We can't spare anyone else to come help right now. Freezing the universe Miitopia is in completely in time takes too much to be used often. We just can't take advantage of something like that at any moment.

But before any significant damage could be done to anyone, the allies of the park showed up. Death is first: "Hello chaps. I came as soon as I could. Hell is always a busy place for the dead. And I don't want anyone who isn't supposed to die today die here and go there." Then, the baby ducks show up. "*unison* Hey, what's going on?! Let's get the fun started!" After that the brown maned and white furred with sunglasses and lazy colorful attire Partyhorse shows up: "Partyhorse in the house! Oh yeah! Let's party!" The Guardians Of Eternal Youth literally float in. They look like holy giant babies. "We are here now as well. Muscleman has become a greater threat than thought possible. We will fight with you all the way." Next is Techmo who is like a cybernetic green zombie with white hair and a missing eye. "It's been a while since I've been here. This is going to be interesting." Isabelle is literally keeping Muscleman busy all by herself as the others come in. The Guardians of Obsolete Formats are next as well as the other at least sort of human like living appliances. "We are here too." Carter and Briggs were supposed to show up but something came up. Some others showed up too like an immortal man with pale skin, a gold and white outfit, sunglasses, and blonde hair with a instrument whose name I forgot. And now, everyone was here who was set on helping defeat the possessed Muscleman was here. One of the baby ducks upon seeing the progress of the battle so far and Muscleman's now huge size exclaims: "Let's unite together, you guys!" And with that, the baby ducks initiated the formation of an ultimate giant mech. Myself and my comrades ended up getting in the mix of it so we also participated in the creation and control of it. It was Partyhorse who exclaimed once we were all in the mech wearing matching leather outfits for some reason: "Oh yeah! Hyperduck Mega Interdimensional Extreme is here!" I am so not going to remember that name. Oh well. We began fighting Muscleman inside the mech whose power level was pretty insane.

I went first to control a sword I saw on the side of the mech. "It's my go. As a knight, my sword is my best physical weapon! *gets the mech to hold it and put something on its back in exchange.* There we go! Let's get started with this.. Great Infernal Tornado Slash! Haaaaaaa!" Soon, the battle began a mind numbing barrage of opposing attacks with the only things I really remember being the literal dialogue. "You guys are so annoying! Fine! I'm going to just throw Benson's apartment at you and see how you like it!" "Don't YOU dare touch my apartment, MUSCLEMAN! TAKE THIS! MAYBE BEATING YOU UP WILL GET YOU BACK TO YOUR SENSES! THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR TOUCHING THOSE BLASTED CARDS!" "While you attempt to hit Muscleman, I would like to note those cards can corrupt anyone with desires and a weak will power. You have to be seriously mentally or empathetically strong in order to be immune to those cards. They are called number cards. There are 1000 base forms of them with over 1300 when considering other forms that some of the numbers have." "And here I thought I knew what was causing Muscleman's possession. Oh well, chaps. But more importantly, we have to stop Muscleman before he destroys your world and Hell gets flooded with so many newly dead organisms. It's hard enough with the influx that we're still finishing dealing with from last night." "You know who else is going to destroy the world by crashing everything into the crash pit? My mom!" It goes on like this for a while until Muscleman punches Hyperduck so hard that the mech stops existing again, sending all of us crashing onto the ground. "Damn it! The day is still young but so is this fight!" Muscleman throws an entire set of apartments into the crash pit only to widen the pit by using his newly gained abilities and strength. He then comes for all of us and tries to stomp us all the way into the newly expanded pit.

I stab my sword into the ground to keep myself from falling down the pot and reach out to grab anyone I can. I managed to save Partyhorse and Death of all people. "Thanks for that, chap. You're not even from this universe. You're registered with an unknown dimension and a different afterlife entirely. So you must live in 2 worlds then." "Woah, thanks for saving me too! That was scary!" "No need to thank me but if you insist, don't thank me yet. Muscleman is still stomping. My sword is embedded deep into the ground but it won't hold that position forever. I'm going to have to use my full strength once we get out of this pickle to at least give us a better shot of beating Muscleman and returning him to normal. We may have underestimated his true power level. That Hyperduck wasn't able to stand against him forever and now, we're in this mess instead of in it. It's really problematic to be honest." "JUST CRASH ALREADY, ALL OF YOU! You know who else wants all of you to just crash? MY MOM!" After some time, he finally gives up on stomping the ground to make us "crash" into the Mega Crash Pit as none of us fell into the pit amazingly enough. Instead, he starts trying to grab us one by one to do what he was trying to do. Mordecai yells while running from Muscleman just as the rest of us do: "Death! Can't you bring back Pops from the dead?! He can help us defeat Muscleman!" "Haha chap, I like your plan! But how many souls are you willing to give up to bring back your friend? Bringing someone as powerful as Pops back will take a lot more than just my kind favors." "No way! That's crazy! You're telling me we have to sacrifice a lot of people to bring back Pops?! No way, man! It's not worth sacrificing innocent people!" "Good answer, chap. You just passed my test. Guardians of Eternal Youth and all other immortal beings gathered here, hear me. We must unite our combined powers in order to successfully revive Pops. But we won't have much time due to Muscleman's current level of destructive power. The rest of you chaps have to keep Muscleman busy!"

We all nod as Death and the other immortals gather together a good distance from the battle. In the meanwhile, we easily keep Muscleman focused on us instead of them. "Hey Muscleman, your mom wouldn't like seeing you the way you are now!" "Hey Muscleman, what would Starla say?!" "MUSCLEMAN, DON'T FORGET YOUR NEW CHILDREN! OR ELSE!" "Listen Muscleman, you have to remember who you are and free yourself of this possession that is binding you!" "Bro! Muscleman! Snap out of it please! I miss the old you!" Muscleman gets actually angry. "Crap. He's going berserk. The worst effect of number possession. Now, his attacks will be even stronger. Look out, this is going to be so incredibly dangerous!" Just as I warned, Muscleman gets really mad and starts punching and kicking at us with greater ferocity than ever before. I couldn't even slice him with my sword anymore even though I kept trying to multiple times over. That's right, I was basically not that useful in a fight all over again. What a surprise. Be that as it may, Muscleman was clearly doing more hurt to us than we were doing to him. So I jumped in front of some of the others and blocked some of his attacks with my shield which is as powerful as my armor is at this point. "You won't harm them as long as I'm here. We will find a way to stop you no matter the cost to ourselves and/or others. Continuous Great Infernal Tornado Slash: 18! Behold, my attacks at their current limit between my armor and my muscle strength! Haaaaaaaaa!" I may have put away the shield again to pull that off but it did do okay amounts of damage. Just some bleeding wounds on Muscleman that were barely a concern to him but were huge in size to us. "Now this really feels like taking on a video game boss." The others kept attacking as well. Piccolo kept dodging everything, flying around, delivering punches, and occasionally using Special Beam Cannon.

"Damn it! This guy's tougher than Cell Max was! I'm just glad there are no children around here." Sasuke at this point has been forced to use the Susanoo as a offense and defense at the same time. "Why are all of you so resistant to being crashed?! It makes no sense! You know who else makes no sense? My mom! If you won't let me make you crash, I will crush all of you! IM SO ANGRY I COULD EXPLODE LIKE BENSON DOES!" Yufa continues on focusing on healing us. We would have all been pretty badly hurt by now if it weren't for her magic. Nya just does what she does best as a ninja. Meanwhile, Furok is letting Tony ride him as they move on Muscleman's skin since he's so big now. "Furok! Get ready! We have to find the perfect spot to attack!" "GET OFF OF ME! THIS ISN'T FAIR!" "Damn it! Says you! Special Beam Cannon!" "Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!" "Don't forget me and Stinger!" "*hiss* You will not succeed at what those numbers are making you do, Muscleman!" Mordecai and Rigby are literally running around like headless chickens, attacking their friend with no hesitation but with remorse instead. "YOU TWO, ATTACK MORE STRATEGICALLY SO ALL OF THIS PAIN AND SUFFERING CAN SOONER COME TO AN END!" Benson is blasting very specific spots he apparently knows are weak points even for the now supersized Muscleman. Skips is fighting with Techmo. He punches, Techmo blasts. All was going well. Even Isabelle was getting a lot of hits in now that Muscleman had given up on stomping and kicking. Piccolo being unaffected by that stuff certainly helped motivate him to abandon such things. And then, things got better as the immortals returned to the fight with Pops brought back to life. The park staff stopped fighting and ran to Pops. Even Eileen was fighting at this point but from a safe distance. I ignored their reunion with Pops as I now had to fight a little harder along with the others to keep Muscleman focused on us once again. Especially since Pops was now back. However, something really bad happened. Pmurt Nedib appeared in the sky through a portal. His presence made everyone stop doing anything.

One of the Guardians of Eternal Youth speaks: "That unknown man over there's aura is a threat to all life. We must defeat him more urgently than Muscleman at this point." I reply: "You're so right. That man is by far the worst adversary myself and others have ever faced. He is is pure evil. He is unredeemable and I don't say such things lightly. We must fight so much harder now in order to stand a chance at winning. We might have to call in reinforcements despite everything because he's so powerful and maniacal." Pmurt Nedib laughs: "Might? More like, you will have to call in reinforcements! You wokeist freaks and other freaks are going to die here today! And I'm going to borrow Muscleman's body to pull it off. Say goodbye to everything you've ever cared about!" Pmurt Nedib takes full control over Muscleman's now huge body. "What an insignificant freak. The only reason I bothered to take control over him is because his form is now so strong. It's been a while since I got in the way like this in the hunt for numbers, you wokeists! And because it has, it means I will win and kill all of you! I'm stronger than ever before even with the Dark Sage ejecting me, that traitor who was such a nice skin suit! There's no chance of victory for you now that I'm in this unattractive but powerful body! I will spare the lives of anyone who swears to worship and follow me as a god! The Holy Spirit, that's what I am! This body appears to have been vulnerable to physical attacks.. A lot of blood has been lost but that doesn't matter for this body is already healing and will soon become my most powerful vessel yet even though you have all managed to heavily damage this body! You'll see! This grotesque and ugly body will soon be the vessel I need to conquer and exterminate!" Pops replies: "Get out of my friend, villain! I've been brought back to life and I hope that my brother will be back soon so we can live together happily for the rest of our lives!" "I will not, big headed freaks! I know who you are, one of those disgustingly kind creatures just like Adam over there!"

"I'll show you who's a freak and who isn't! Just try me!" Pmurt easily defeats Pops. Sasuke gets an idea and uses his Sharingan to put our foe into a genjitsu. "There, now our friend will have to fight with the numbers as well as that Muscleman. I don't know how well it will go but we better use this chance to deal as much damage as we can in case it fails completely." And so, all of us used our various abilities to attack all at the same time. When Muscleman's body started moving again, we didn't stop, we just kept attacking even as Pmurt Nedib started laughing again: "You really think that was enough to stop me?! I beat the influence of those numbers and Muscleman down! Now, I won't have to worry about those freaks fighting with me for control over this body!" "Oh yeah, you think I'm done, bro? Thanks for awakening me inside. Now, I will fight you! You won't hurt my friends or anyone else!" "Let that new right hand mine go and give me back my new left hand!" "Never! I won't let go! Everyone, attack my body! I don't care what happens! This has to end, this jerk has to be defeated no matter the cost!" Pmurt can't move Muscleman's body anymore because Muscleman is using its left side against him. Meanwhile, we all attack all over again. I use Continuous Great Infernal Tornado Slash: 18 several times over as Yufa is still going strong with her healing thanks to her high mana pool as well as several mana restoring items. In fact, Muscleman forgot about her and Pmurt Nedib hasn't even noticed her just yet. When I did that combination of my best attack for a 5th time in a row, Pmurt Nedib screams: "What are you doing to me?! I'm losing control! No! No! No! You're starting to use my power for your own to lock me inside of your head! No! Curse you, Muscleman! You will pay with everything for doing this to me!" "MUSCLEMAN, KEEP IT UP AND RESIST EVERYTHING OR ELSE YOU'RE FIRED! FIRED!" "Muscleman! I'm so high fiving you after this! Just you wait! It's going to be awesome man!" "Muscleman!" "What Mordecai said! Muscleman!" "I'm with you too, Muscleman!" "Jolly good show! I'm with you too, my friend!"

A tear comes from Muscleman's eye. It alone was big enough to drown someone due to his current size but ya know. "You guys! You're the best!" And then, Pmurt Nedib is clearly no longer in control of any part of Muscleman's body. Instead, Muscleman is in full control and he shrinks back to normal. He gasps at all of the destruction. "Did I do all of this? I'm so sorry for everything I did! You know who else is sorry? My mom!" Rigby pats him on the shoulder: "It's okay, Muscleman. It's okay. We're here for you." The Guardians of Eternal Youth literally start restoring everyone and everything destroyed by Muscleman while he was possessed. Now, he's far stronger than ever with Pmurt and the numbers inside of him. Once all that restoring is finished, something starts happening to Muscleman just as we were all getting a nice rest after the supposed end of the battle we have been involved in. "Guys.. I don't feel so good.." He collapses to the ground as the numbers glow brightly and violently on his body. Their dark aura intensifies to a level I haven't seen in months. "That aura is more menacing than Agram's!" "Tony, you're right!" "That has even worse vibes than my dad! This is bad!" "This reminds me of the time I used a magic amulet to crush Twilight at magic for my petty revenge. I'm so glad Starlight got me out of my grudge a while after that." "What is that aura?! It's as terrifying as Cell's!" "Buzz buzz! Something isn't right!" "Not a jolly good show.. If I may suggest, can you immortal beings do something to help Muscleman not lose control to what's now inside of him?" "Sorry chaps but even that's beyond our combined powers at this point. Not even you could do that yourself, Pops. We're going to have to get ready for this entire battle to resume from here on out." Muscleman suddenly gets up but the vibe is completely different with him. "MUST CRASH AND DESTROY ALL IN THIS UNIVERSE! STARTNG WITH ALL OF YOU! PREPARE TO DIE! OPERATION EXTERMINATION EXECUTE!" "This is bad.. I'm almost too scared to fight but I'm not the same Isabelle who was used by the Supreme Dark Lord anymore! I will fight for this world and all other worlds I must help protect. We will improve so many places just like we did the town of Fun Land!"

"Swiftdrawer! What have you been doing? Why don't you use me, Chaos?!" I get out Chaos Wolg. "Listen, I think it's time to unveil the fully completed avatar for your spirit to reside in. I just want to focus on what I can do more in battles. I'm sorry I haven't used you in many. Please understand." "Is that so? That's okay. Just give me that means to create chaos on my own!" "The avatar has just been teleported here as GADGET has been listening in this whole time." "Alright! I will for now on unleash the chaos on my own!" Chaos Wolg's person like avatar appears and their spirit immediately enters it after I give the B Daman to said avatar. The avatar allows for the likes of beys and B Daman to achieve many great and powerful things on their own without needing their typically human partners. I then focus on getting ready to fight all over again. When Muscleman starts moving, it's like he's vastly different than before. Is the personality change and power increase a sign of a complete number card takeover? Such a thing has never really happened before. Only Number 96: Dark Mist has so far pulled it off as far as I'm aware. Unless you count the base form Barian numbers that caused 7 humans to become Barians. "You will all die. We will destroy all of you by making you crash as desired by Muscleman and we will conquer all we don't destroy like Pmurt Nedib. Those 2 are now gone, only we remain inside of this body now." "Like I believe you erased their consciousnesses. I don't buy it. Special Beak Cannon!" "GET OUT OF OUR FRIEND, YOU BASTARDS OR ELSE!" Benson gets so mad that a fiery aura surrounds him and his entire body becomes red, even the glass that protects his gumballs. "AAAAAAAAAA! YOU WILL REMOVE YOURSELVES IMMEDIATELY OR ELSE, YOU'RE LITERALLY FIRED!" His rage triggers the motivation needed for a new new version of the Hyperduck to come together, the difference from the last one is that it now includes Pops. We're all in it, just as Number Possessed Muscleman returns to giga size.

It was then a long and crazy battle to the point I couldn't tell you who got the Hyperduck to do what most of the time. So instead, I will just state things as if Hyperduck were sentient and fighting possessed Muscleman on their own without anyone's direct input which is actually what it would seem like to an outside viewer if they didn't hear those of us inside it at random moments. So please enjoy this simplified version of the battle with much of the actual dialogue written about as well. This is the best I can do with my skills and comfort level without getting burnt out. To simplify further, I will just say Muscleman and Hyperduck. Shouldn't be too hard to understand, right? Anyway, here we go. Muscleman delivered a barrage of punches to Hyperduck. Despite them being so strong, the attacks didn't do much damage due to the combined attributes of every single individual inside the giant mech. "Haha, jolly good show! It's going to take a lot more than that to bring us down!" "RAGE LEVELS INCREASING, ACTIVATING FURIOUS DESTROY MODE." "OH YEAH?! YOU THINK YOU CAN GET PISSED OFF BETTER THAN I CAN, WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!" Now Hyperduck is counterattacking with a boxing glove type thing except it's spiked and on fire because of Death. Oh and now, Muscleman is taking a lot of damage but not being fazed by it. He then self regenerates with ease before delivering a whole lot of powerful kicks. "There's a reason knights make sure to protect their crouches as well as everything else. Most knights historically get hurt a lot in that area if said area is dealt enough force. If there's one thing that sucks about most knight organizations, it's that there are like no women in them. It's bullcrap! But luckily in the Knights of Miitopia, we don't have that problem!" Hyperduck uses a guitar as a shield while playing those riffs so well that Muscleman has to cover his ears as they literally bleed. He then counts with eye lasers. "TERMINATE ALL TARGETS, DESTROY HYPERDUCK MECH PROCEDURE GO." Hyperduck uses the guitar to bash Muscleman and block the eye lasers before pulling out a laser gun and firing at the enemy. "Oh yeah! This is awesome! High five, Mordecai!" "Right back at you, Rigby! Woohoo!"

"Guys, don't get cocky. We can't afford to let our guards down for even a second." Hyperduck's fists collide with Muscleman's in a showdown of skin and steel that would probably leave people all on the edge of their seats. This ends up resulting in a long collusion of fists with neither able to overpower the other until.. "FULL POWER RAMPAGE GO! WE WILL CRASH AND KILL ALL OF YOU ALONG WITH ALL LIFE IN THIS UNIVERSE!" And now, Hyperduck is being beat up without being able to counter with anything. That's it. The damn Blood Demon Sword. It's big enough to fit into the hands of Hyperduck. I'm going to create that damn weapon no matter the cost to me. I have yet to exhaust my Artist's Eye to the brink today. "This has gone far enough. I'm going to turn the tides of this whole damn battle! Just you watch me! Artist's Eye, go!" With Artist's Eye, I create the Blood Demon Sword in the right hand of Hyperduck as quickly as possible. It is swung but nothing happens. "UNKNOWN WEAPON, RESPONSE ACTION REQUIREMENT UNIDENTIFIABLE." "What KIND OF WEAPON IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE?" "Give me a couple minutes. Let me soak myself in my own despair. Only then will this weapon actually work." A couple minutes of constant clashing occurs before I am literally insane. However, I still have a big enough grip on my sanity to ensure I just do what needs to be done and nothing more. "FEEL THE SAME DESPAIR I DO AHAHAHAHAHA! I will enjoy it! I will enjoy it so much! Piercing Darkness!" After the attack is used to deal a lot of damage to Muscleman who immediately begins self healing right after, the sword vanishes and I regain my sanity. "Don't question my actions coupled with my insanity. It was necessary to get a major hit in. So far, this battle is kind of a draw because that sword had such a high defense, allowing Hyperduck to not be destroyed. At least not be destroyed yet anyway. I gave us an opening. Muscleman is still recovering." Hyperduck then drop kicks Muscleman in the crotch but Muscleman feels no pain.

"What kind of mad being is in this person? Everyone should be able to react at least a little to their own agony. Do they not feel any pain? That is an insult to what we've all been through. Susanoo!" Hyperduck is wrapped in a super sized Susanoo that gives them extra protection for a few minutes and allows for more even fighting during those few minutes. It eventually breaks but none of us are ready or willing to quit. Hyperduck slaps Muscleman only to be punched in the gut, dealing structural damage that Pops easily fixed with his power. Hyperduck is then wrapped in Ki and the full power of Pops, turning the tide of battle back to a draw once again. The transformations of Piccolo, Marceline, and Isabelle also appear as well to some capacity, leading to the fight reality being an even fight all over again. Neither one is able to do damage. They just keep dodging and blocking everything they throw at each other. "TARGET UNWILLING TO GO DOWN. NO MORE HOLDING BACK. MUST CRASH TARGET AND ORGANIC LIFEFORMS INSIDE OF IT." And now, Muscleman is wrapped in a chill and truly vile aura that mixes Pmurt Nedib's, The Shadow's, and the Numbers' auras together into a nightmarish energy. And in the midst of this battle, most of the park has already been completely destroyed along with some of the surrounding area. This was truly a highly dangerous and difficult battle to win. And for a long while. Hyperduck was just completely outmatched. Attack after attack was thrown their way and more and more damage just kept racking up. It was energy blast after energy blast and punch after punch with deadly magic mixed in at some points. Hyperduck's form was obviously slowly beginning to break down. "DAMN IT! WHY CAN'T WE JUST WIN ALREADY?! GAH!" "Maybe it's time for the power of parties to turn this around!" Hyperduck uses a speaker full of EDM playing at full blast but it has no effect on Muscleman who destroys the speakers with Pmurt's malicious magic.

Hyperduck is then attacked again all over but the guitar and shield are both used to reduce the damage. "This is concerning even to me. I think Hyperduck needs some upgrades. I will unlock whatever is inside from me. It'll be cool." Sci fi ish weapons are then pulled out by Hyperduck who uses them to unsuccessfully withstand all the attacks coming our way. The mech manages to dodge most of the attacks bit the damage dealt was still pretty severe. If this keeps up, it won't be long until Hyperduck gets destroyed and we're all killed like a bunch of bugs being stepped on by a kid somewhere. There better be some way we can win this but I'm not sure what it'll take. I can't use my imagination to the fullest extent I can for the rest of today so all there is left is violence or really elaborate civil conversation which I sincerely doubt will free Muscleman of the numbers' full control over his entire body. Other than that, there's also the fact that we literally have no solid ideas and Muscleman has taken no lasting damage. "Damn it! What the hell are we supposed to do? Those numbers alone are invincible in the card forms they have taken. Otherwise, the only way to beat them is with other numbers! Now as for when they possess somebody, they can be defeated without numbers. That wasn't always the case but it is now for some reason." "Listen chaps, we're going to have to use everything Hyperduck has at once to break free of our current predicament. It's the only way we can hope to find a way to win without you mortals being killed." We all listened to Death. Suddenly, Hyperduck uses an insane and ridiculous combination of moves and stuff to get out of the practical hold Muscleman has gotten on the mech. Due to this, Hyperduck is able to jump back, destroying the park house in the process but also giving an opportunity to get into a defensive stance while we try to figure out ways to beat or at least heavily damage Muscleman enough to force him to rest for a few seconds.

But Muscleman already was charging towards Hyperduck when the mech went into a defensive stance, "Damn it! Cell Max was tough enough but this is beyond even that android's power level! Even with all of these transformations powering Hyperduck, we still have a almost zero chance of winning and restoring this Muscleman back to normal." "Even my Susanoo doesn't last long. This is an enemy I couldn't have ever foreseen to be such a major threat," "The great and powerful Trixie is also concerned." "If only Roan and the others could have come.." "Buzz buzz, that would be easier said than done with what's going on." "You know, Chaos Wolg's avatar didn't even allow them to join up with the rest of us into this Hyperduck form. That's interesting because they're attacking without being noticed by Muscleman. This whole time, they have been attacking without being noticed at all. Huh. I guess Muscleman can only sense the energies of life forms whose bodies aren't synthetic." "We will win somehow and I will tell the residents of Fun Land all about it! Let's leave a lasting impression and work together." "Hey everyone, I got this awesome idea. Why don't we all attack at once again but this time, with our individual abilities put in the mix?!" "Oh yeah! Mordecai! That's brilliant!" "I'm so proud of you, my employees. Mordecai and Rigby, even as Muscleman keeps attacking, I want you to know that not only will you be missed but you will also be fondly remembered for all your often reckless acts of heroism such as during the battle with Anti-Pops and this battle." Muscleman actually inflicts heavy damage on the Hyperduck even as we all act based on Mordecai's idea on how to win. But Muscleman's too strong and heals too fast. "This is not good. Hyperduck won't last much longer at this rate." "Guardians of Eternal Youth, don't look so down! If we're going to go down, we're going to at least have a party!" "Jolly good show! That gives me the most brilliant of ideas! Why don't we use the power of music to fight back?" "Oooo, that's a great idea. It's what allowed me to save Jake from killing others or letting himself die for some dangerous adventure experience. I'm in."

"I'm not just a knight. I can rock and scream pretty hard. Count me in. I will lend my musical skills." "Oh yeah! Mordecai, let's help with that! It's going to be so awesome!" "Okay okay, I'll join in!" "I will play as well. Benson, Skips, High Five Ghost, you should join us too! Jolly good show!" "Anything to save Muscleman. As dumb as his my mom jokes are, he is still a valued member of the park. Let's go save him." "Sure, why not. It's been a while since any of us have done any music." "Muscleman's my best friend! I will do anything to save him from what's controlling him!" And so, a mix of different music styles starts being played. And all of us in the Hyperduck end up wanting to compulsively sing the same exact things while inside the Hyperduck. "Muscleman, are you in there? Break yourself free of what's controlling you. This is not you, you aren't this aggressive or destructive. Break through and bring yourself back to yourself. Don't let anything hold you back, you're strong enough to crush the control. It's so simple and yet so hard but we believe you can do it. No matter how much we and Hyperduck get beaten down, we will continue reaching out for you. We want you safe and in full control of yourself just like before. A return to the my mom jokes and you doing donuts in a golf cart. There's so much to see, so much to do, so much to fight for. You gave everything you had against Anti-Pops and Streaming during the battle for the universe. Let your jokes empower you to overcome what has taken full control over you. You can do it. We're going to win somehow even if it means we have to beat your body until what's controlling you can no longer fight and you return to normal as a result. Don't give in, don't give up, fight back." The song doesn't do anything but hold back Muscleman during its entire duration, giving Hyperduck time to self-regenerate somehow.

"TERMINATE, TERMINATE. MUST DESTROY ALL ADVERSARIES." "This is not awesome.. How can we party when we have still yet to win?" "You know, doesn't this universe have those montage things I've heard so much about. In the Moonlands, we don't have access to stuff like that so we don't get to speed up training or fights. I'm interested to see how things will go. What about you, Furok?" "I'm with you completely. Let's see the power of this montage that is so popular in universes like this one." HD-DVD, a guy with punk like white hair, lighter tan skin, cool sunglasses, and a cool black and gray outfit replies: "I can play such a thing with ease. Let's start a battle montage!" HD-DVD puts a disc inside of his disc inserter and it starts playing what's saved onto it. The song now playing is Murmaider by Dethklok(also known as the song from Batmetal 2). It's a fast and pretty aggressive song. And as it starts, the battle serious starts speeding up. The breakdowns are pretty hard in the Extreme Metal song. The montage made conversation pretty much impossible and a lot of skipping around through the battle almost immediately began taking place. Muscleman delivered a bunch of punches only for us to see Hyperduck struggle to get up later but still fire a lot of lasers that set Muscleman on fire. Muscleman then blows on himself as he is dealt a lot of heavy hits and sent backward outside of the park. The scene changes to show the residents of the area the park is in flee before we later see a charred Muscleman shake off all of the ash that was his old skin, revealing perfect good and healthy identical skin to the skin that was literally burned. Then there were flash frames of many brutal blows inflicted by both Hyperduck and Muscleman. However, it was becoming clear that Hyperduck was losing badly and fast especially in the midst of a brutal montage. When the montage ended, Hyperduck was on the ground completely beaten and all of us inside of it. "Well crap, there's only one way to win for certain now. Fusion.

I wish it didn't have to come to this but I activate Polymerization since my duel disk is already activated. And now, this spell card will merge all of us together with Hyperduck in order to fusion summon. The fusion portal appears and all of us are sucked into it. I then see myself looking through the eyes of a more fleshy and new Hyperduck who has huge muscles. He grins: "Now this is awesome! Call me Hyperduck Infinity Universe Mega Puncher or just simply Hyperduck!" "FAMILIAR ENTITY DETECTED. OBJECTIVE: CRASH AND DESTROY HYPERDUCK WITH FULL FORCE." The one clash with fists but Hyperduck at least has access to a combination of everyone's transformations including my Insane Mode. This proves to be very helpful, causing Hyperduck to gain a brown aura around him. But even with all of that, Muscleman was still stronger and able to deal more damage while having all damage to him become virtually pointless due to that intense healing ability that showed up out of nowhere. They clashed fists and feet. It was a seriously insane fight that was now leveling the whole city the park is in, killing countless innocent people.. To make matters worse, Hyperduck was still very much losing despite the amazing power of fusion allowing him to gain another fleshy form and the total strength of every single one of us who fused together into him. After 10 minutes, Hyperduck was beaten badly and bleeding heavily despite possessing Yufa's healing skills. "Damn it. This is bad and not awesome. I'm losing badly to you. But for the sake of those who gave me this form, I will not give up on freeing you, Muscleman from what's possessing you. That's the awesome thing to do in this situation." "TARGET ALMOST DEAD, PREPARING DEATH BEAM." Hyperduck avoids the Death Beam and tries a tricky tactic, striking at Muscleman's joints thanks to me and my skill with Anatomical Disruption. This stops Muscleman for a few moments which are used to fight back.

But it's all for naught as Muscleman knocks him down and starts stomping on his chest to break his bones and eventually, kill him. "No.. This can't be how it ends. I have to do something truly awesome to get out of this one. I will suffer for days on end until I die if I don't do this. I must put my all into a single attack. That's the only way this battle will end and my form will then be undone. This is for everything that has happened so far today." Hyperduck begins charging some sort of attack that looks like a fusion of Special Beam Cannon, Piercing Darkness, Kamehameha, Stinger's special attack, Holy Light, Marceline's demon powers, Isabelle's purified darkness powers, Trixie's magic, Furok's Energy Blast, Sasuke's Sharingan abilities, Death's energy, the power of the formats such as HD-DVD, and more. He then releases it just about all of his strength is about to leave his body. At this point, Hyperduck was laying on the newly collapsed mall which collapsed as soon as he was knocked down. "HYPERDUCK EXTREME CANNON BLAST!" The attack caught the possessed Muscleman off guard. "UNEXPECTED ATTACK. OPERATION COUNTERATTACK IS A GO." Muscleman begins trying to use all his power to counter the attack but it isn't going as planned. Their powers were evenly matched and clashing as 2 beams of highly dangerous energy. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" "DESTROOOOOOOOOOOOOY!" As their attacks continued to clash, they both put in more effort and energy into their attacks. "I WILL WIN AND BE AWESOME!" "YOU WILL BE TERMINATED!" The sky turned dark as a result of the continued clashing. Everything around them for miles was completely destroyed by the sheer force coming from the collision of their attacks. It was completely unbelievable. It was clear that the whole city was pretty much gone at this point. A dam outside of the city was even destroyed from the collision of their attacks, allowing water to flood whatever was left of the city. The whole area was unrecognizable. Countless lives had been taken during the battle at this point.

The combined willpower of all of us fused into Hyperduck's new form would be necessary to win. Our combined wills pretty much had to combine together into more power for Hyperduck's attack. He soon felt our willpower and used it well and wisely. It's like parts of our spirits were inside of the willpower coming from us and being directed into his attack. Earthquakes started in the ruins of the city and storms and tornadoes began to form and rage as well. It's like the entire planet was starting to break apart from the raging battle because the natural disasters only got worse. Then the divine energies inside of Hyperduck fully awakened, causing his attack which was already rapidly expanding due to our willpower to reach far greater heights than ever before now. "THIS DOESNT COMPUTE! WHY IS THIS SO STRONG?? ERROR ERROR." Muscleman suddenly shuts down, allowing for Hyperduck to more quickly finish breaking through his attack. Furthermore, his attack was literally becoming virtually infinitely strong which was important because Pmurt Nedib took over Muscleman's body at such a critical moment. "You freaks! I'm back to kill you all! ..Why is there a giant buff duck mutant thing? And what is happening to this vessel?" He tried to use his own powers to counter the power of Hyperduck's attack. However, it reached a point not even the fascist CEO and self proclaimed god could even handle while inside another's body. "Nooooo! This can't be! Not again! I'm going to lose again! The chaos in Ni No Kuni and Duel Links soon better work to my favor! I'm just going to leave this vessel now before I get hurt! I will be back in Miitopia soon and I will crush all freaks like you who stand in my way! That's a promise, not a threat!" Pmurt Nedib gets out of Muscleman's body and disappears through another portal mere moments before the attack exploded upon Muscleman, vaporizing his entire body. And before Hyperduck knew it, he was floating in space among the remains of Planet Earth and the Moon.

"What?! What happened to Earth." Those were the last words he said before he defused back into his mech form containing all of us inside of it. Now, we're wearing matching spacesuits. Thank goodness. "HYPERDUCK HAD TO KILL MUSCLEMAN AND DESTROY THE ENTIRE PLANET AND THE MOON TO WIN?! WHAT KIND OF VICTORY IS THIS?" I sigh: "I'm going to go to New Namek to use the Namemekian Dragon Balls and summon Porunga. I'll be right back. Comrades, please explain to everyone what the hell has been going on while I'm gone. Oh wait, I think it'd be better if we all just went together so this Hyperduck form doesn't just split apart." "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT?!" "You'll see." Piccolo nods: "It might come as a shock to all of you from this universe but you'll get used to it very quickly." So then, I teleport all of us and Hyperduck's mech form to New Namek. A peaceful world where the trees look like blue cotton candy lollipops at least to me. "Woah! This is so coooool! I beat it'd be awesome to chill in a place like this! Right, Mordecai?" "I'm with you, Rigby!" "Guys, don't get distracted by how awesome this place may look. We're here for these Namekian Dragon Balls that can apparently fix everything that just happened." "Good words. Now, I am a Namekian so please allow me to speak to the Namekians on this planet." Piccolo then has Hyperduck walk to the small settlement where a lot of Namekians live. They cower in fear upon seeing Hyperduck until Piccolo speaks loud enough for them to hear: "Sorry to frighten all of you like this. It's a long story but I'm inside here with other individuals. I am simply here with them to request the use of the Namekian Dragon Balls. Is this okay with you all? No one in here with me means any harm to you." The Namekians stop cowering and nod. Some run off for some reason. However, they soon come back with all 7 of the Namekian Dragon Balls in their hands. They hand them over to Hyperduck's now stretched out hand.

"Thank you all, we're going to revive a planet and all of its life forms with this. It's all thanks to you. I'm surprised that the elder of this village didn't come out to personally speak to us himself. I take it that you sensed the energies of the others including multiple divine level energies, causing you to trust my words and our intentions without a second thought." The Namekians nodded before waving goodbye to us. Seems like they're really busy. Looks like they're having a carnival or something in the works based on how the village looks currently. So we then summoned Porunga and he granted our wishes to restore that Planet Earth and revive every living creature who was on it. A final wish was ultimately given to Pops to use of all people. He wished for the revival of his brother as a good guy on Earth. That wish was also granted and as the Namekian Dragon Balls scattered after Porunga said goodbye, we teleported straight back to the now restored Regular Show Earth or more specifically, the park where the Mega Crash Pit was. After Hyperduck split up, we spent hours explaining everyone to the others gathered. After that, most of them just left and said goodbye. But not before we gave them Quantum Leap bands, signifying their admittance into BRAINS which was pre planned and everything. Hell, the BRAINS branch for their universe has already been set up with a base directly underneath the park deep underground. We also hand bands to those who were still with us in the park. We then said our goodbyes as well, allowing for the events of the final episode to resume from there. But the very next day, a new level of number problems began in Duel Links and Ni No Kuni. Before I tell you all about that, let me wrap this chapter up with some info about Ni No Kuni and/or Duel Links. What I don't write will be discussed next time. Ni No Kuni is a world of adventure, many regions, magic, monsters, and a long history. If I'm right, we will have to save the era of it in which my Ni No Kuni counterpart under the control of a player from a linked world who is controlled by me in a game must fight the forces of chaos such as the Black Circle.

The Nameless Kingdom was attacked and they and Cluu were able to escape but their queen has gone missing. Swordsman Swiftdrawer ended up becoming Kingdom Lord in place of the queen once the kingdom's rebuilding began. I don't really approve of kingdoms or any governments at all but Ni No Kuni's kingdoms seem alright. Anyway, their main focus was stopping so many vile people from corrupting and hurting others. Even the Boar Tribe's Chief helped spread chaos energy which in Ni No Kuni is a mix of all other elements. Swordsman Swiftdrawer and Cluu have had to do a lot of traveling and helped a lot of people and groups such as the Sky Pirates and the Evermore Royal Guard and king. Evermore is a kingdom that controls most of Ni No Kuni's landmass on the largest continent of it. It was formed by the efforts of its first king Evan whose father was murdered as rat people took over his home of Ding Dong Dell. By working with and meeting others, he was able to defeat the forces of evil and unite all kingdoms in the world into Evermore. Now, Swordsman Swiftdrawer and Cluu must undergo a similar journey many years into the future. They still have a long way to go but they've gotten far and met 4 World Keepers who are the elemental guardians of Ni No Kuni. Luxerion, Aquarius, Natrum, and Ignis. Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds is the game I have played ti experience this adventure and influence it by what I have come to call the Player-Character Interface. Because all fictional universes are real it's possible. The term refers to when you play a character in a game, the power of imagination links you with that character, allowing you to combine what you know with what they know, can do, can learn, and so on. It's fortunate that many characters I play as have similar personalities to me such as Lord Knight Swiftdrawer. The characters of some games at least clearly have some time to themselves when the player is not playing as them.

This is evidenced by Lord Knight Swiftdrawer's daily rest EXP generation and the fact that they're standing around, looking at me on a flying ship when I log into Ragnarok Origin. Duel Links and Ni No Kuni are now in danger and I'm so not excited for a Paradox Raid Duel boss in Ni No Kuni instead of Duel Links. That's one time traveling villain who never reformed because he was destroyed and murdered someone only for the murder to be undone. And yeah, that's it until next time. Thank you for reading this, I don't even see as much of a need to write a designated outro as I once did. Bye!
