Meanwhile… at Castlevania…
"DEATH!" Celeste approached him angrily as he was looking calmly at the moon.
"Yes, what is it?"
"I just received word that Kyoko Kirigiri was mortally wounded!"
"...Was she now?"
"Yes, and you didn't bother to go and get her soul! Why didn't you do anything?"
"Ah, you see, Kyoko's soul is a tricky one to get. Plus, she doesn't die so easily."
"So, just put a bullet between her eyes and end her miserable life!"
"Are you kidding? She might just grab said bullet, put it in her sandwich and eat it for lunch. Forget it, taking her soul is not worth it. …And besides, she's a great adversary in Texas Hold 'Em."
"Texas Hol-... ARE YOU SHITTING ME?! Forget that stupid card game and get that damn soul before I break everything in your body and use your rib cage as a xylophone!"
"Alright, alright… if it'll get you to shut up." Death said as he wandered off. Not that she can do anything to me, I'm just using that threat as an excuse to get away from her.
At the Toad Town Hospital…
"What the HELL, dude!" Akane shoved Sora into a wall.
"Mmmph!"
"Akane, calm down!" Sonia said.
"How can I?! This dude was the reason why Dimentio has a Keyblade, led him straight for Chiaki and now she's in the ER right now! He's the reason why he made a damn comeback!"
At that moment, Mythra got between Akane and Sora, pushing the former back. "Okay, will you back off!" She demanded as Pyra and Kairi were quickly by Sora's side.
"Oh, let's not forget that the reason for all of this in the first place is because you two got all smitten with Sora and treat him like he's your brother, you're all affectionate with him, and of course, he followed the sound of Pyra's voice where, surprise surprise, ended up where we are now!"
"Akane-chan… just… CHILL!" Ibuki said.
"Rrrgh… dammit…" Akane growled. "We lost her once… we lost her again in that simulation… we almost lost her a third time in that Grimm World… and now she's practically at death's door AGAIN."
She punched a wall in frustration. "We couldn't do a damn thing about it the first time… we couldn't look away… just thinking about that sweet girl dying in front of my eyes… AUGH! Excuse me for having a panic attack over that!"
"But is attacking Sora worth it?" Mythra asked.
"But if it wasn't for him, she'd still be in good shape!"
Makoto sighed in annoyance. "Okay, so… Dimentio or one of his cohorts more than likely used something to make it sound like Pyra, right? What if you heard Nekomaru's voice? Wouldn't you follow it too?"
Akane blinked. "What are you getting at, Nijima?"
"I'm saying that wouldn't you be fooled too if someone used Nekomaru's voice and you thought it was him, but it wasn't?"
"I know what she means… considering Whitley's girlfriend has the same voice as that crazy ex bitch. It dawned on him after we all left that prison after confronting Jacques." Hiyoko said. "I know Ling and Weiss had to calm him down…"
"Well, regardless, pointing fingers at anyone isn't going to help." Ruby spoke up. "Sora's already feeling down and he feels as if it's his fault, so yelling at him isn't going to do him any favors."
"That's exactly what I was going to say." Riku nodded.
At that moment, Xena, Yagami and Umber teleported in. "Is she okay?" Xena asked.
"No, she got incinerated. We're all on our toes right now." Futaba mumbled.
"Okay, what happened?" Umber asked.
"Dimentio happened." Ruby said.
"...No, seriously. What happened?" Umber asked again as Ruby gave him a blank look. "...You're kidding me. Chiaki lost to him?"
"He's got Order Magic and a Keyblade… and from what I could gather, he probably did something to cancel out her gaming powers too." Akechi said. "Of course, that last bit is just a hunch."
"Holy crap, so that clown's back in action and with a vengeance? Oh, that's just GREAT!" Yagami groaned.
"He's got a Keyblade?! …Holy shit, how did he get one?" Umber wondered.
"Wait a second…" Nyx noticed the twins' tattoo sleeves, causing her to chuckle. "What took you two so long?" She teased.
"We finally got around to i-, that's not important right now!" Xena said.
At that moment, Mewtwo teleported in. "I heard the news. Is she alright?"
"According to her mangled up burnt body, no." Futaba said.
"I was afraid of that…"
Immediately after, they heard footsteps as they turned to see Shantae and Shovel Knight coming in. "Is Chiaki okay?!" Shantae asked.
"We hope so!" Hiyoko said.
"Who in the right mind would destroy a kind maiden such as her?" Shovel Knight wondered.
"Dimentio." Ruby said.
"...No, seriously."
"She's telling the truth." Nyx said.
"But didn't she take his powers after she had enough of his crap?" Shantae asked.
"Well… now he's got Order magic and wiped the floor with her… and he's got a Keyblade too." Jade said.
"...Oh dear."
"Mmm… it's always the nice ones that get hurt." Mewtwo mumbled. "Chiaki's no different. She cheers up those who are feeling down, she cheers for everyone in Smash matches when she's around, she's overall a nice girl and gets along with mostly everyone."
"Yeah, and we love her for it!" Ibuki smiled before frowning. "But now… now she's in critical condition…"
"Alright, I'm just gonna say it." Deadpool spoke up. "Dude's got a semblance where he can just knock someone's powers out just like that. He calls it "EMP"... and nobody is safe from it."
"For real?!" Ryuji yelled. "So that means… oh, that BASTARD!"
At that moment, a portal opened up as Strange walked out with the others behind him, but Strange hurried off to the ER.
"So, how'd Chiaki get knocked out?" Michelangelo wondered while the Phantom Thieves, Ultimates and even Deadpool looked on in awe to see who had come out with Strange.
"...Oh my gosh, it's Thor." Ann said.
"THE GOD OF THUNDER! YOOOOW!" Deadpool fanboyed.
"And he's even more handsome in person~!" Haru smiled.
Thor looked at the girls and chuckled, doing a "sup" nod at them. "So… I take it our friend is in critical condition?"
"Yeah… we're gonna have to wait until she's out." Ruby said, noticing Futaba and Mahiru poking Thor's muscles.
"Duuuude, these muscles are LEGIT." Futaba said, all the while America and Love awkwardly stood there.
Big crowd… America thought.
Near the ER, Strange spotted Kamakura standing in front with his arms folded, and joining him were Elfilin, BB-8 and a very worried and sad Kirby. Strange knelt down and rubbed Kirby's head. "Don't worry, we'll get her back into shape in no time."
"Poyo…"
Strange walked into the ER. "Ladies."
"Strange-san! I was wondering if you'd come." Mikan smiled as Strange looked at Chiaki, who had an oxygen mask on her face, and grimaced.
"She looks worse than the picture that Umber showed me." He said. "What happened?"
"Dimentio got to her."
"I don't know who that is, but I'm willing to bet Chiaki made an enemy that didn't take kindly to her powers." He said. "Alright, let's get her back up and running."
"You start with her, I'm going to go see how Kyoko-san's doing." Mikan walked out.
Outside, Kamakura gently picked up Kirby in his arms. "She'll be back up and running soon." He said as Kirby still looked saddened.
"Poyo…"
In Kyoko's room…
"Normally, it'd be a big deal to be in the hospital… but honestly, this is just a minor inconvenience to me." Kyoko said to her friends.
"Well… I'm glad we got you in here in time." Aoi smiled.
"While I'm not thrilled with the idea and I'd rather shove Dimentio into a wall, it is what it is… but I'm confident that I'll bounce back." Kyoko said as Mikan walked in and checked on her IVs.
"Blood transfusion is still looking good…" Mikan said to herself.
"How is she?" Kyoko asked.
"Hmm? Oh, Chiaki-san? Strange-san just arrived so we're doing everything we can to get her back." She smiled softly. "The good news is that it seems Chiaki's body is cooperating with us. She's a fighter, that one…"
Kyoko smiled. "I'd be more worried if she wasn't fighting for her life."
Mikan nodded. "Get some rest, Kyoko-san. You've lost a lot of blood." She hurriedly walked off to go check on Chiaki.
Byakuya genuinely smiled. "It's good that MIkan knows how to properly do blood transfusions, as well as your attacker not double checking to make sure you were dead."
Kyoko chuckled. "Indeed. I'll be fine… I'm just gonna lie her for a while."
"Let us know if you need anything!" Yasuhiro said as they walked off, leaving the room with just Kyoko and Makoto.
"I know I have a lot going on, especially since I'm still trying to track down Eggman's whereabouts and demand to know what's his endgame, but-"
"I can lighten the load for you." Makoto said.
"I was hoping you'd say that." Kyoko smirked, pulling out a sheet of paper that held the Princesses of Heart. "There's apparently more candidates scribbled on the back that no one noticed in their rush to save Nanami."
Makoto took the list, flipping the back of the page out of curiosity.
Mulan
Makoto raised an eyebrow, noticing several names crossed out.
Princess Peach
Palutena
Lucy Heartfilia
Rosa
Reimu Hakurei
Usagi Tsukino… wait, literally who?
"I guess he got caught up listing names that he realized that these didn't make sense."
"Yeah. Besides, why would Maleficent want Sailor Moon?" Kyoko chuckled. "Not to mention one of these people are also dead."
"Yeah." Makoto nodded. "Alright, I'll go see if I can't go rally a team up and head off to find these candidates."
"I feel like this is a trap, but… perhaps we can counter it." Kyoko smirked.
"Right." Makoto smiled. "I'll be back!"
"Wait… Makoto."
"Hmm?" Makoto turned around, only for Kyoko to grab his sleeve and pulled him in close, planting a kiss right on his lips as both of them closed their eyes before Kyoko pulled away.
"Go get 'em, tiger."
Makoto nodded, giving her a thumbs up and walked off. Kyoko then noticed Aoi giving her a thumbs up, Byakuya had a "It's about time" look in his eyes with a smirk while Yasuhiro had a dorky grin on his face.
"Oh, shut up." Kyoko failed to hide a smirk with a soft blush on her face.
Back in the past…
The old woman sat in the Sealed Temple, when a loud roar echoed through the world as some dust fell from the ceiling.
BGM: Black Tornado Theme (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
"...Oh no." The woman whispered as the door burst open as Lana came running through.
"Is it happening?!" Lana asked as everyone else ran through the door.
"The beast is about to break from the seal…"
"Then we don't have much time!" Lana said. "Let's move it!"
The heroes ran out of the door, and once they arrived at the Sealed Grounds, the ground shook heavily.
"Wa-waaaaaah! I thought the ground was supposed to be stable!" Groose yelped.
Wolf Link ran toward the edge and saw darkness shooting out of the seal. He let out a howl as everyone gathered to see it.
"Well, what the hell are we standing around for? Let's move it!" Cia said as they hopped down and ran toward the seal.
…However, as they got closer, a dark barrier opened up to block their advances.
"Going somewhere?" Ghirahim chuckled. "You know, it's not entirely fair that some of you are more powerful than the others… hmhmhmhm, let's change that!"
With a snap of the fingers, dark hands came out of the dark barrier and grabbed a hold of Weiss, Laxus, Lana, and Cia and pulled them in, and with another snap of the fingers, an impenetrable shadow dome wrapped around everyone, then the four of them were wrapped around in darkness.
"Rrrgh! What's going on…?!" Cia growled.
"Your powers are quite extraordinary… it would be quite the shame if someone were to… take it. I call this song… the Song of Depowering! …Yes, it's a real thing. It's a shame that the Ocarina of Time wasn't used to its full potential!"
He closed his eyes and played the song, and at that moment, the four of them glowed brightly as Weiss's Fierce Deity, Laxus's lightning power, and the powers from the sisters were pulled out of their body as Ghirahim jumped up and snagged them for himself.
"Weiss!" Kirumi exclaimed as she tried to bust her way out with Whitley, but the dome shocked them and knocked them on their butts. "Agh!"
"You gotta be kidding me!" Mine exclaimed.
"Ha. Don't worry, you still have your lightning, your gatekeeping and your darkness powers… I just stripped most of its power to make it fair!" Ghirahim smirked as he absorbed them into his body.
"Rrrgh… you son of a…" Laxus growled.
"...But why stop there? One of you has the Triforce of Power!" He pushed three of them into the impenetrable dome. "Heck, one of you has the Triforce of Courage!"
At that moment, darkness wrapped around Wolf Link as it pushed Midna off of him as Wolf Link was brought over to him. "LINK!" Midna yelled as she tried to go after him, but she was shocked away. "Nnngh!"
Link immediately caught Midna. "I got ya!"
"What the heck is going on?!" Groose yelled.
"Damn him…" Impa growled.
"And now… for the Song of Triforce Removal!"
Ghirahim played the song as dark lightning bolts struck Lana and Wolf Link, both of them screaming and howling in pain as their wrists glowed brightly, and then the Triforce of Power and Courage was removed from them as both of them connected.
With a smirk, Ghirahim took the two pieces of the Triforce and absorbed them, where it glowed brightly on his wrist. "Hmhmhmhm~ Now I just need the Triforce of Wisdom and I will be the most powerful being in this era, and when I give it to Lord Demise, he and Emperor Bowser will be UNSTOPPABLE!"
"You… you…!" Lana winced as Ghirahim forcibly pushed Lana and Wolf Link away.
End BGM
BGM: The Imprisoned (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
"And now that I have what I need…" Ghirahim smirked, snapping his fingers as the dark barrier disappeared, and then the ground shook harshly as a large red demonic asshole-ish creature emerged from the ground, with the seal on top of his head.
Impending Doom - The Imprisoned
"...Seriously? Your master is this… armless… THING?" Weiss asked, her arms wrapped around Kirumi and Whitley.
"Tch… perhaps he came out prematurely… but no matter. I will join this fight to make sure none of you interfere with my master's pla-"
Immediately, Link, Groose, Yor and Akame quickly knocked the giant creature over after cutting his toenails off, causing Ghirahim to sweatdrop.
End BGM
"...Right." Ghirahim teleported away. "Okay, master… you need a boost!"
BGM: Calamity Ganon - Phase One (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)
As he began to play Nocturne of Shadow, darkness wrapped around The Imprisoned…
but as the darkness wrapped around him, a crimson red joined the black darkness and swirled around the Imprisoned as a fiery mane shot out of the Imprisoned's back.
"Oooh, now that's interesting…"
Impending Calamity - Calamity Imprisoned
"What the heck is going on now?!" Laura yelled.
"The Calamity…" Lana whispered in horror.
"As in Calamity Ganon?! …Shit…" Cia grimaced.
The Imprisoned stood back on his feet and roared before turning his mouth to the ground and unleashed a powerful laser that forced them to dodge as the laser struck the ground, leaving behind pools of malice that exploded shortly after.
"We gotta defeat this thing and FAST!" Weiss yelled. "...I'm open for ideas!"
"We need a boulder! A big gigantic boulder that would crush him!" Kokichi exclaimed.
"I don't think that will hold him!" Impa exclaimed.
"We gotta hit him as hard as we can!" Laxus said, electricity wrapping around his body. "You may have taken a large chunk of my electrifying power, but that means nothing!" He said as and Zapple leapt into the air and lightning punched him in the face that knocked the Imprisoned back a foot, then it headbutted them away.
Weiss immediately stabbed the ground to create a gravity glyph wall with the help of Whitley, but the Imprisoned swung his head to shatter the gravity glyphs as it raised its foot and created a shockwave that knocked the two back and raised its foot to try and crush them, but Kirumi swiftly jumped in and grabbed the two to avoid being crushed.
"Hahahaha! Yes, master! Knock those fools to the ground and destroy the Sealed Temple!" Ghirahim declared as he shifted his eyes to see Mercury running at him and kicking him when he got close, but Ghirahim backflipped away. He aimed his sword at Mercury with a smirk. "I suppose I'll play with you for a while."
Ghirahim summoned his daggers and threw them at Mercury, but he kicked them away and then aimed his boot and fired shots at him but Ghirahim blocked with his sword and teleported away, appearing behind Mercury and slashing him with dark energy. Mercury countered by sweep kicking him as he then jumped in the air and heel kicked him, but Ghirahim swiftly parried said kick.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're pretty ungrateful for your enhancements!"
"SHUT UP!" Mercury yelled, his arm turning into an arm cannon and fired electric shots that struck Ghirahim as he was then kicked in the gut. Ghirahim simply chuckled, brushing it off with a sadistic smirk on his face.
"So, I guess clipping the toenails is no longer an option!" Groose said, noticing that the toenails were now sharp and jagged.
"True, but that doesn't mean we can't smash 'em!" Ravio said, pulling out his hammer as he ran forward and swung his hammer, destroying the armor with each swing and smashing the toenails. The Imprisoned responded by slamming its foot on the ground to create a shockwave to knock Ravio back, but he quickly recovered as Cardin used the sand from his gourd to try and push The Imprisoned back as Yuri, Loid, Mine, Sayo and Kokoro shot him with arrows and bullets to try and get his attention.
Suddenly, a blue eye appeared in the middle of The Imprisoned's snout. A red laser aimed directly at the gunmen/archers. "Oooh, I don't like where this is headed!" Sayo said.
"MOVE! NOW!" Lana yelled as they quickly jumped out of the way as a massive blue laser shot out and struck the ground, creating an explosion that knocked Kokoro off of the cliff.
"Kokoron!" Masaru ran after her and dove for her, catching her before she could slam into the ground.
"Mmmph…! Thanks." Kokoro smiled.
"Alright, that's it!" Tatsumi growled. "Open! Gate of the bull! Taurus!"
"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!" Taurus charged ahead and slammed his axe down on his toes, shattering the armor and toes as The Imprisoned fell on his back, leaving his seal completely exposed as Yor ran over and gave a solid kick to the seal, slamming it shut into The Imprisoned's head.
The Imprisoned roared as it got back up and attempted to slither toward them, but Nesta quickly put up "WALL", as the wall was enough to prevent The Imprisoned from advancing, slowing it down for a few moments until the wall shattered, and then The Imprisoned got back up and let out a ear splitting screech that made everyone freeze up for a few seconds.
"You want to go!" Leone yelled, unleashing a roar of her own to try and make The Imprisoned back away in fear. The Imprisoned roared back at her, making her shudder in fear as Hazel came in and punched The Imprisoned in the chest to make it take a few steps back, then it fired a laser at him where he rolled out of the way as it struck the side of a cliff, causing boulders to fall.
"LAURA! LOOK OUT!" Cardin yelled as Laura looked up and her eyes widening, but then Oran swiftly jumped in, pushing her out of the way as both were safely out of harm's way, the latter on top of her.
"You okay?" Oran asked.
"Y-yeah. Thanks." Laura smiled as they both got up and stared at the massive creature that towered before them as Midna tried to punch him with her hair as Wolf Link unleashed a howl to try and strengthen everyone up.
"That thing on his head…" Kotoko stared at the seal. "Yeah, that'll knock it out for sure! Hopefully!"
She immediately ran into a geyser that produced wind as she launched up into the air and landed on the cliff above them as she ran over. Alright Athena, let's see what you're made of! She thought as aura wrapped around her right fist. Here goes nothing!
She fearlessly jumped off the cliff and flipped off. "HIYAAAAAAAAAH!" She punched the seal into The Imprisoned, making it roar as it bucked Mine off as she landed on the cliff. "What's the matter, big guy! You didn't like tha-NNNNGH!"
Kotoko winced, holding on to her shoulder. What the hell…? Why does my arm feel so tingly? Come to think of it, I feel like my shoulder's dislocated!
"Can't handle that kind of power?"
Kotoko turned her head to see Wizzro appearing, and before she could react, Wizzro trapped her inside a dark ball of energy. "Agh!" She cried.
"You will make a healthy sacrifice!" He said as he teleported in front of the Imprisoned, who had just opened his mouth to fire a scarlet laser at Maki, Impa, Lana and Cia. "Lord Demise, I offer you this humble sacrifice!"
"A humble sacrifi- WIZZRO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Cia yelled.
"No… no no no no NOOOOO!" Kotoko screamed… and then The Imprisoned chomped down for all to see.
End BGM
Kokoro let out a shriek, holding her hands over her mouth in horror while Masaru couldn't believe what he saw. His knees shook violently as he fell on his knees. "K-Kotoko…" He whispered, tears swelling in his eyes.
"Oh my gosh…" Chelsea put her hand over her mouth as Weiss struggled to find words at what she just witnessed.
As for Mine…
"K-Ko-Kotoko…?" Mine's voice broke as she stared at The Imprisoned, tears starting to stream down her eyes as her eyes went blank.
"I don't care if you'd change into something else, because deep down… you're still my sister."
"Kotoko… thanks… I… I honestly needed to hear that."
"No prob!"
"And… I honestly don't say this enough but… I love you."
"I love you too, sis! …Sis… sis… sis… sis…"
"Kotoko…" Mine whispered as more tears streamed down her cheeks as darkness slowly started to creep out of the ground from underneath her as she started crying uncontrollably… but soon, the crying suddenly turned into anger as she gritted her teeth as she glared at The Imprisoned hatefully.
"That… that… THAT… THAT WAS MY SISTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!"
As she screamed, dark energy shot out of her and into the sky, where her screams turned demonic as Ghirahim turned his head while slashing away Mercury. His eyes widened, realizing who that belonged to. "Wizzro, what did you do?"
"...I did not expect this kind of reaction out of her!" Wizzro admitted. "I didn't think she was that attached to the young one!"
"What's going on? Why is there darkness pouring out of Mine?!" Ling asked.
Laxus grimaced. "This sort of thing happened once before…"
BGM: Mirajane Satan Soul (Fairy Tail)
In the darkness, Mine let out a fierce cry as the darkness dispersed around her. She had jet black sclera with glowing pink irises in her eyes. Her hair was still pink, but it also had white streaks, not to mention her hair jetted upwards for a spiky hairstyle. Her ears changed to resemble elf ears and she had dark lipstick. Her arms were covered in pink scaled bones with pink transparent fin-like protrusions on the sides. She also grew a large, black, stocky tail with white metal plates. The tail had several spikes that went all the way to the tip of the tail. She also donned a pair of pink gauntlets. Two pink transparent wings appeared behind her back.
As for her outfit, it was replaced with a dark pink dress while wearing matching high heeled thigh high boots, decorated with shapes of pink jagged blades on the front and back end of the boots.
The appearance was enough to intimidate Ghirahim as he quickly made a hasty retreat, as Mine shadow stepped toward Wizzro and punched him in the face, creating a dark shockwave that sent him flying toward a wall as she then flew over and threw an uppercut into The Imprisoned's lower jaw, making it snap back and spat out Kotoko as Fi flew over and caught her.
"Phew…" Kotoko sighed with relief as she saw Mine ahead of her. "Mine…?"
Mine Shadow Stepped away, putting her hands together and unleashing a powerful shadow laser that engulfed The Imprisoned as it roared before disintegrating, where the seal was taken back to where it was and floated there as Link swiftly ran toward it. Fi flew over and used a Skyward Strike, and then Link used his Ancient Sword to make a few cuts before swinging his sword down to seal The Imprisoned back up.
…However, as Mine landed on the ground… she was hunched over, glaring at everyone as she let out a demonic screech.
The She-Devil Returns - Mine Satan Soul
"She's gone feral…" Laxus grimaced. "I was afraid of that."
"Wait, so that means she's not recognizing us right away?" Akame asked.
"I'm afraid not. Her rampage begun the moment she disintegrated Demise… and now her eyes have turned to us."
"So what the hell are we gonna do?" Wave asked.
"Try to stop her!" Laxus said. "...Which, given how Mira went on a rampage… that's easier said than done!"
"Well, let's give it a shot and get our teammate back to normal!" Akame said as dark electricity crackled through Mine's body as she thrusted her hand forward and shot electricity at them, but Laxus got in the way and together with Zapple, they both absorbed it and fired it back at her, but she Shadow Stepped out of the way as she delivered a strong punch into Laxus, as he blocked it and delivered a counter.
Mine disappeared, reappearing above them as darkness wrapped around her hands as she conjured up a dark energy ball and threw it into the ground, creating a dark explosion that knocked Sky and Russel away, then Weiss thrusted Myrtenaster into her, stabbing her a few times.
"C'mon, Mine… snap out of it!" Weiss yelled, only for Mine to sweep kick her and punched her hard in the gut to make her fly into a wall. "Nnngh!" She winced, holding on to her shoulder. To say that it knocked the wind out of her would be an understatement.
Alright, here goes. Maki thought as she activates her semblance to try and intimidate Mine. However, Mine Shadow Stepped and appeared in front of her, grabbing her by the throat. She's immune?! She thought in surprise as Mine shoved her into the ground as Shadow claws came out of her gauntlet and proceeded to tear into her.
Yor jumped in and kicked Mine away from Maki as she, Chelsea and Wave got in front of her to protect her while Kurome and Akame both slashed her, but Mine grabbed the both of their necks and slammed their heads together.
A Shadow whip wrapped around her as Cia held her steady, but Mine Shadow Stepped around and knee'd her in the gut and roundhouse kicked her into Lana, then she weaved through the attacks that Link, Impa and an intimidated Groose and sweep kicked them away.
She then punched the ground to create a dark shockwace that knocked them all away.
"Come on, we gotta do something! We're getting creamed out here!" Cardin said.
"...It's risky, but it's worth a shot." Tatsumi raised a key in the air. "Open! Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!"
"You wish to puni-... oh hey, Mine activated her Satan Soul. I wondered why Aquarius made popcorn."
"Virgo, I need you to summon the Star Armor on me."
"Sure, what do you need? Taurus? Aquarius? Saggit-"
"Incursio!"
Virgo's eyes widened. "No! Absolutely not!"
"Please Virgo, this might be our one chance to snap Mine out of it without hurting her!"
Virgo hesitantly looked at him before nodding. "...Okay." She looked away, closing her eyes with a grimace as she snapped her fingers, as the Incursio Star Armor appeared on Tatsumi's person.
Pause BGM
"...Fresh meat. I smell fresh meat."
"Mmph!" Tatsumi found himself staring at a large cell door that was locked tightly as he could see a beast with only eyes and a toothy smirk.
"That scent. I recognize that scent anywhere. HEARTFILIA!"
A clawed hand reached for him, causing Tatsumi to back up, hitting a wall with intimidation in his eyes.
"No… I'm not going to let you take control of me!"
"Lucy Heartfilia said the same thing before I melded my body with hers. You will share that same fate, and I will destroy your mind and body and replace it WITH MINE!"
Resume BGM
Tatsumi groaned, shaking his head. "Alright, let's give this a shot."
Laxus spotted this, an idea forming in his head as he turned to Oran. "Oran! Sprout your wings and fly Tatsumi over to Mine! It's our only shot!"
"Okay!" Oran nodded, summoning his wings
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Weiss asked.
"Considering what we're up against… it's the only shot we have!"
"MINE!" Kotoko yelled. "SIS, PLEASE SNAP OUT OF IT!" She begged, holding on to her shoulder. Damn! I only used twenty percent of Athena's Valor… why the hell is my shoulder numb and tingly?!
"There is a seventy five percent chance that this may work!" Fi said.
"I like those odds." Laxus smirked as Hazel managed to restrain her with Shuichi, Midna, Kirumi, Chelsea and Yor helping him out as Mine let out a demonic screech, trying to fight them off.
Oran flew above Mine, holding Tatsumi in his arms. "Alright, you ready?"
"Ready!" Tatsumi nodded as Oran dropped him.
"Phew… he was getting heavy with that armor…"
Tatsumi dive bombed toward Mine as everyone who was holding her steady looked up and quickly backed away as Mine snarled, then looked up.
"MIIIIIINEEEE!"
Tatsumi slammed into Mine, causing dust to fly everywhere. Once the dust cleared, they would see Tatsumi on top of Mine, pinning her down by the wrists.
"Mine! Snap out of this! This isn't you, snap out of this rampage and come back to me! To ATMC! To Kotoko! To everyone!"
"Nnngh…" Mine growled and screeched in his face, but Tatsumi kept a firm grip on her.
"Easy… it's okay. Kotoko's okay… you can relax…" Tatsumi said softly with a soft smile as Kotoko approached, Mine turned her head to see her as her eyes widened.
"Kotoko…" Mine whispered, her eyes turning back to normal as she changed back to her normal self.
End BGM
"Phew…" Laxus felt the tension in his body disappear as Weiss and ATC breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tat-Tatsumi…" Mine whispered, looking into his eyes with a smile, both of them blushing.
"Well well, what do we have here~?" Chelsea smirked.
Oran smiled. "They liiiiiike each other~!"
Both of them blushed a deep red as both got up and glared at Oran. "ORAN!"
"Sorry… Virgo told me to say that." He said as Virgo casually whistled while failing to hold back a smile.
Meanwhile, in the afterlife…
"Gyaaaaaah!" Happy yelped, being violently shaken by Lucy.
"WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU TELL MY CELESTIAL SPIRITS THAT?!"
"I thought it'd be hilariouuuuuus! Waaaaaah!"
"YOU DAMN CAT!"
Back in the land of the living…
Tatsumi smiled. "I'm glad you're okay though." He said as Mine hugged him before she went off and hugged Kotoko tightly.
At that moment, inside of the confrontation between Tatsumi and Tyrant, the latter grabbed a hold of Tatsumi.
"GOT YOU."
BGM: Tension (Persona 5)
Outside, Tatsumi suddenly clutched his head. "Nnngh! AAAAAAGH!" He cried as he fell on his knees.
"Shit, Tyrant's taking over!" Laxus exclaimed as AMC, Ieyasu, Sayo and Blanche rushed to his side.
"I… I won't let you… control me… like you did with my ancestor…!"
"You little fool. If the Heartfilia girl couldn't stop me, if the Celestial King couldn't stop me, what chance will YOU have?"
"Tatsumi, don't let him win!" Akame told him.
"Easier… said than…" Tatsumi punched the ground. "...Done…!"
"You will fail. You will submit! YOU WILL-"
In a flash, Virgo swiftly tapped into Tatsumi's pressure points to knock him unconscious, then snapped her fingers to do away with the Incursio Star Armor.
"You may have destroyed Princess Lucy's mind… I will not allow you to do the same with Master Tatsumi!"

"You okay?" Ieyasu asked.
"Uuugh, ask me again when this migraine goes away…"
"So… now what?" Groose asked.
"Link." The old woman approached them. "I sense something from you. You have the Goddess Harp, yes?"
"The Goddess Harp? …Is that what Zelda gave me?" Link wondered.
"Indeed. There is power to this. Allow me to teach you how to play this sacred harp. Come. To the Sealed Temple."
She walked away as everyone followed them, all the while Lana and Cia had troubled looks on their faces.
"He's got the Fierce Deity… and has a good chunk of power from us and Laxus.' Lana said.
"Not to mention he has the Triforce of Power and Courage…" Cia mumbled. "If he gets Wisdom, then it's game over."
"...You think we need help?"
"Absolutely. But who would be a good pick…"
Nearby, Kirumi and Whitley walked by Weiss. "Weiss… are you okay?" Whitley asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Are you sure, hon? I mean… he took Fierce Deity from you." Kirumi said.
"I'm fine. He just gave me a reason to kick his butt… because I know I'm going to get it back one way or another." Weiss said determinedly, while Ling was busy checking up on everyone and healing the wounded if need be.
Meanwhile, in the present…
"And so I say to the guy: "You're peckin' stupid if you think you're not petty as peck!"." Hat Kid chuckled.
LttP Zelda giggled, drinking her tea as she was accompanied by Isabelle, Doom Guy and even Ganondorf. "You're right, that guy totally sounds petty."
"Right? Like, what's his deal. Seriously!"
At that moment, Ganondorf frowned and stood up. "Hmm? What's wrong, Ganondorf?" Isabelle asked.
"I will return. I feel as if something is wrong." He walked off.
"...Should I go after him or…?" Zelda wondered.
"Eh, I wouldn't worry about him." Hat Kid waved it off. "He probably just has digestive issues."
At that moment, Banjo came running in. "Guys! You fellas aren't gonna believe this."
"What's up?" Zelda asked.
"It's Chiaki. She's in critical condition at the hospital!"
"Oh, that's nice." Isabelle took a sip of her tea before she did a spit take. "SHE'S WHERE?!"
She immediately ran out the door, accompanied by her friends as Ganondorf continued to walk the opposite way, opening up a dark portal.
Meanwhile, in the Wild Era…
"Soooo, what do you think?" Purah showed a few pictures to Zelda. "Do you think the Silent Princess would look great on this Guardian?"
Zelda rubbed her chin. "That depends on where you're putting it."
"I was thinking of a head accessory but-"
At that moment, a dark portal opened up as they turned to see Ganondorf walking through. "Ganon? What brings you here?" Rhoam wondered.
"Princess Zelda. I need you to come with me."
"What for?" Zelda wondered as Terrako approached him curiously.
"I feel as if something big is happening."
"...And what do you need her for?" Purah asked.
"Because, I feel like she would be perfect to document what is transpiring in the past."
Meanwhile, with Mavis…
"Let's see here… do I want the cookies and cream or do I want the sea salt ice cream… augh, there's so many good ice cream flavors!" She said, drooling at the thought.
"Mavis…"
"Hmm?" Mavis turned her head. "Who said that?"
"Mavis… it's me."
Mavis looked around before her eyes widened. "Mira?"
"Yes… I need you to take me to Hyrule's past."
"Hyrule's past? What for?"
"Mine has unlocked her Satan Soul form. I wish to go there to comfort her."
Mavis's eyes widened before nodding. "I'll see what I can do."
Meanwhile, at the Toad Toad Hospital…
"AUGH! I'VE BEEN KISSED BY A DOG! Get the hot water! Get the disinfectant!"
Kyoko let out a chuckle, letting out a soft sigh as she rested in the hospital bed while also having the lights off.
At that moment, a dark entity entered the room as Kyoko's eyes shifted toward the dark entity. "Kyokooooo, I have come for you."
"Oh, hello Death. You come for me again?"
"Indeed… I have come for your soul!" He said… and then suddenly pulled out flowers. "And to make sure you're feeling alright. Seriously, I couldn't figure out what kind of flower you liked, so I just grabbed a bouquet at the store."
Kyoko chuckled. 'You're sweet." She said, taking the bouquet.
"So! How'd you wind up in this mess this time?"
"Dimentio."
"...No. Seriously. How'd you wind up like this?"
"I'm telling you the truth."
Death blinked. "Dimentio? The one jester that seems to avoid death for some bizarre reason? Didn't think he got his second wind…"
"Apparently, he did."
"Well, let's get your mind off things. I brought Texas Hold 'Em!"
"Perfect."
At that moment, they heard demonic screeching that actually shook the hospital, followed by an "ARE YOU SHITTING ME, DEATH?!"
"What was that?" Kyoko wondered.
"Bah, just a nonsensical cry baby."
Deadpool: Ha! Suck it, Celeste!
Ibuki: *giggles*
Ooooh yeah! Also, the idea for Oran saying "They liiiiiike each other" was Log's idea, along with him rescuing Laura from a rock slide.
