Miitopian Civil War

Chapter 15: We're Getting The Planet Egg Back

Date: April 1st, 2023

"I see that you have hidden power but that won't save you! All of you freaks are going to die together today!" "Who said anything about letting you kill anyone when I want to kill you? I can take you on myself at this state so long as that delicious healing magic remains in effect! *spots the dead and bloody corpse of the villain's old body* Oh, looks like someone beat me to killing that one! Too bad! Ahahahaha! Prepare to die! I'd tell you how I'm going to kill you but what good would that do? I hate the kind of surprise where my fun is ruined! Now, you're going to die! Right here, right now!" Others try to get into the battle but I end up punching the Dark Sage so hard that he's knocked into a wall. Seeing that display, those who tried to get involved hesitate and step back. "Hell yeah! That was awesome! But.. your eyes. Swiftdrawer, why are your eyes not unlike those of a demon's?" "I don't know or care! I'm here to delightfully kill the Dark Sage and make him suffer! That's all I want, his pain, his despair! Don't get in my way! I can't be held liable if you end up getting yourselves killed by trying to join in on my fight! I'm going to kill him, taste his iron rich blood, and force everything he's taken out of him! He'll suffer! He'll suffer so much today! I'll relish in his misery and make others like him fear me! Dark Sage, you aren't dead or severely injured yet! Excellent, that gives me a lot more time to torment you and leave you begging for mercy! Forget letting you off lightly, I'm going to take my time killing you once I crush your fighting spirit! Stab there and there and there and there and everywhere! And then, I'll slowly puncture your heart and watch you bleed out and take your last breath while trying to scream! Once you're dead, I'll take your head as a souvenir and leave the rest of your corpse out in the Travelers' Hub for all to see and gasp at! It's dietime for you!"

Our one on one fight really started at that moment. I pulled out my sword and licked off some blood that so happened to be still wet off of it. Or rather, I pretended to to try to rile up the Dark Sage. When I saw his now furious expression, my sadistic grin returned and it didn't fade the entire time I fought against him. You'd think that up against a knight who has gone insane like me that he'd have no chance since he has no sharp blades to fight back with. However, he is incredibly powerful now so that didn't matter at all. I swing wildly with some precision behind it as I loudly laughed manically: "Yes! This action! This tension and this pain! It's so delicious! Give me more! More!" The Dark Sage easily heals all the damage I inflicted to him and we continued to clash. With one hand, he cast spells at me. The other, he used magic to build up giant muscles intended to crush me and my gear. "Tower Of Darkflame!" "Proud Protector! Infinite Pain!" It takes a couple seconds for him to cast spells and another couple to send them at me so most of his actions are just him trying to use his now oversized muscular right hand and arm to kill me. I fight back by cutting into that arm with my sword every single time we actively clashed. Proud Protector blocked the spell and Infinite Pain dealt a normally huge amount of damage to the Dark Sage. However, he only took minimal damage from that. Seeing this, I started going more wild and attacking with everything I could muster. Earlier, I stopped myself from completely destroying my body at a rate faster than Bray's spell could heal it. This time, I didn't. My muscles fibers were on fire and ached on and off but I didn't stop even as I coughed up blood. My every action was solely dedicated to killing the enemy by any means possible. I didn't stop for anything. "Adam! You're going to die at the rate things are going! It's not a nap causation, it's a worry causation! Stop! Please!" "No! I'm going to kill him before that happens! Just watch as I make him scream in agony! Don't help me! I don't need anyone to get in the way of my business!"

I start hitting even harder and seriously hurt and bruise the Dark Sage. With my Insane Mode's power backing me up, I pull off attacks so powerful that the cave we're in has the rock above it get destroyed, exposing us to the freezing cold from the surface as snow began to fall into it. "Oh, it's snowing in here now? Cold! Snow reminds me of how wretched the other world I live in is! All these despicable parasites running things and making life a living hell! I want to see them all die with blood spewing out of their bodies as they are removed from existence! Kill! Kill! Kill! Dark Sage, I'm going to kill you now! I'm winning and you're so beat up! Say goodbye as I slowly cut into your flesh! Oh that's right, that substance is slowly eating you from the inside! Just as you deserve, a large helping of pain with an oversized side of suffering and a beverage of misery with hopelessness as dessert! First, your dreams will die and then, you will die as well!" I pin him to the ground after I knock him into it, causing a large crater to form in the process. With him pinned and so beaten that he can't even heal himself, I start cutting into his flesh very slowly. Blood rushes out of the tiny cuts I made. "Gaaaaaah! No! No! A woke freak overpower me? Impossible! I'm far stronger than anyone else in this universe! This can't be happening! Owwwww! Make it stop!" "No. Im just going to slowly kill you and make you suffer! Now you will see why making others suffer loses its fun when you're the one suffering from being hurt by me! Ahahahaha! Your agony and reactions are just so delicious! More satisfying than anything I have ever experienced before in my life! I'm going to enjoy making things worse for you! So you can't cast anymore spells or punch again, I'm going to cut off your fingertips now!" "What?! No! Anything but that!" "You're welcome for your suffering! Say goodbye to your delectable fingertips!" I easily but slowly cut all of his fingertips off one by one. They ungracefully fall to the rock floor below us.

As I make him hurt even more, my enjoyment only grows. "I haven't had this much fun before in my life! Thank you for making me see how much fun it is to hurt someone like you more clearly than ever before!" I then cut through both his knees to slice through his knee bones. He shouldn't have taken a physical form and now he's paying dearly for it. Despite having the entire energy source for Mii World's biodiversity, all he was doing was screaming and yelling in pain, not even healing a little bit. If I weren't having so much fun, I would have found that suspicious and exposed his rouse. But as expected, having fun overrides some portions of rationality within my mind. How familiar, it's exactly the same thing that is letting people have fun in my world, spreading Covid around knowingly or not without worry. Anyway, I kept slowly putting an end to his life by strategically taking my time to cut into him while avoiding doing things that would cause so much blood to flow out of him. No one stopped me because of one of the following reasons: they didnt want to draw my ire, they knew someone would stop them, or they discovered the rouse and were ready to act when the Dark Sage revealed it. I still remained unaware of the rouse he was pulling on me. And then, I finally got to stabbing right through his heart. I punctured it slowly and then ripped it right out, causing blood vessels to burst. I wiped it off of my sword before getting the most joy I've ever felt in my life. Well, the most sadistic joy. The Dark Sage's eyes even went completely white and his face looked shocked and in pain, frozen in time. "Ahahahaha! I've killed you! You're dead, Dark Sage! You're dead! Finally! That was so much fun! Pmurt Nedib, you're next! I'm going to slaughter you!" The big rouse was finally exposed by the choice of the Dark Sage. Color returned to his eyes and all of his injuries healed instantly. His fingertips were even restored. As for his heart, the villain crushed it with his own hands after he got back up.

The Dark Sage smiles: "I fooled you! Since you don't live in reality, it was so easy! As soon as you lost it, I knew you wouldn't discover that I was holding back and letting you kill me! In fact, I never died. This body could die and I'd still be alive!" With that being said, my emotional state collapses further. My insanity gives way to insane desperation mixed with despair. "You.. YOU TRICKED ME?! AHAHAHAHA! This day! This pain! Aaaaaaaaaaa! Make it all stop! I'll kill you!" I attack him again even though my body hasn't recovered from going way too far yet. I put everything I have into it out of sheer desperation. My logic is all but inactive at this point. I swing and try so hard, putting in way too much exertion once again. I feel and hear my body break apart as the Dark Sage laughs: "That's right! I've got you right where I want you! And the reason no one is helping you is because I've frozen everything in time! With the Planet Egg inside of me, stopping time is nothing but a simple task as easy as walking! I'm all powerful! I'm unstoppable! You will be the first of your kind to be exterminated by me and be made an example of once I hold your ruined corpse in my hands before the people and monsters of Miitopia!" "No! No! No!" "That's right! You're done for, woke moralist! Die! Tower Of Darkflame!" In combination of that attack and my own bodily harm, I fall to the ground and start coughing up blood once again. I'm now dying very quickly. "Not even that pitiful sage magic can save you! It's still active but now, it's too late for it to be able to save you from your incoming death! It's time for you to say goodbye to everyone and everything you care about! Once you're dead here, I'll kill you in your other body! That's right, I know about that little secret of yours! And that means that you will have no future, only an existence of torture just as I promised you earlier!" "Damn it! Aaaaaaa! I'm going to die so I'm going to take you with me! Ahahahaha!" "What are you doing?! You're beaten and weak now! You can't fight me anymore! Not after all that you and I have done to your body! You're woke and wokeists amount to nothing against the likes of me and my beautiful Project Empire! Die already! Just die!"

"Don't underestimate me! I'm going to kill you as you kill me! Watch as I make you feel the pain I do now! INSANE KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" With all the strength and energy I could still use, I charged and released the biggest and most powerful Kamehameha I have ever unleashed on anyone. My emotions were enough to make it hit the target with pinpoint accuracy for once in my life. As he blasted me with more magic attacks, I sent the energy wave right at him and was on the brink of death when I couldn't keep it going any longer. However, it did severe damage because the Dark Sage wasn't expecting such a powerful and devastating attack to come from me in the last minute of my life. What kind? Well, a new room to the cave was created and the Dark Sage was sent flying into it. So much damage that time just resumed at its normal course by itself. Barla sees the shape I'm in: "Damn it! Crap! Does anyone know why Adam looks like that now? They must be saved! They're about to die!" Blaze replies while rushing to my side: "I sense a temporary suspension in time! Adam! Don't die! Don't die! Not even the healing magic can save you! Noooooo!" I pet the wolf furry who is my fursona as sanity finally returns to me upon hearing their worries for my well being. "He stopped time and I kept exerting myself. In the end, I wasn't enough to stop him. I surprised him with a huge Kamehameha at the end but that won't keep him down for much longer. This pain.. This horrible pain.. I'm sorry for losing my sense of balance, allowing one side of me to become so dominant that I lost sight of some of my goals in the process.. *coughs up blood again* Is this the woes of a main character? I don't want to be the main character. I like doing my thing without getting all the attention in the world. In the stories I writes, I'm the narrator and main character recounting adventures in this body. However, I'm not a hero or the protagonist. Together, I think we're all the protagonist. Go on, let me die. Save your magic for fighting the Dark Sage. You can revive me later. Please."

"Arrr! That bastard! I'm going ahead to give him my pirate's rage! Thrashbeak, let's make him walk the plank!" "If the damn pirate is going, I might as well go too. The Prince Of Saiyans cannot miss out on a fight against such a string and dangerous opponent!" "Crap! Adam! I don't want you to die either! I'll avenge you with my science and entropy!" "Adam! I shall not let you die! Stay with us!" "Bray.. You know better. Don't try to. I'm not sure how I'm still alive. I guess deep down, I really don't want to die. But I have to this time. Your healing spell isn't working on me. Don't try to heal me with other spells. I don't think that will work. It's not worth the time or effort. Look at all my injuries. I should have died as soon as I started to charge the Kamehameha. That healing spell is one of your best spells. If it can't heal me, it's unlikely other spells can. I'm at peace with my choices. I did what I could even as my personality became unbalanced and one facet became dominant." "Adam.. I shall respect your decision. I hope it is the right one because the Dark Sage is not someone even Gogeta could face alone even at full power. I'll fight and heal on in acknowledgment of your sacrifice. Just promise me that when you come back from the dead, you will be ready to fight again." "Don't worry, my friend. I will watch over the battle from beyond the realms of morality as some call most universes since they are where mortal life forms are dominant or there's no life in them at all. I will fight when it is time to live once again and raise my sword to the enemy." It's at that moment that I died. Those who witnessed my death were those closest to me outside of my home world. The others went ahead to fight the Dark Sage who had quickly recovered after what I did to him. I find myself just as a pink colored soul again, floating in a black void above Mii World.

I could have pulled a fast one and used my now unrestricted Imagination power to bring myself back but it's incredibly difficult to repair and reanimate a dead body. It's much easier to start from scratch even if that body was previous created by me. I would have pulled a fast one if it were possible because the Dark Sage is such an enormous threat. I only just thought of this after I died. Before, I was too occupied with the Dark Sage, the feelings of my closest comrades, and my dying state to consider any of this. Now that I'm dead, it should be a trivial matter to watch as the battle against the Dark Sage continues without me. I end up doing so in a similar way to how I watch anime TV shows on my iPad or phone on Earth. That's just how it happened. I had little control of it. Okay! Anyway, I managed to tune in in time to start watching it from just after my death. Since I'm in this black void instead of a black void or some other afterlife over my home universe or the Miitopian afterlife for that matter, it's clear that my story isn't over yet. Just as I imagined with my Imaginative Intuition. As for how things went until I was eventually revived, here you go. This is how it all went down. Those who witnessed my death stepped away from my corpse, barely giving themselves any time to cry or mourn. "I shall state for all of us here. As much as it hurts to see them die even though we'll bring them back later, we don't have time for our grief. We have to fight so we don't grieve over anyone else too. We must go help fight the Dark Sage immediately." In classic anime style, the view didn't just focus on any specific individual or group of individuals. It flowed naturally from focus to other focus. Mel, Barla, Sophie, and the Forest Spirits lead the frontal assault on the Dark Sage just after Barla, Bray, and others who saw me die ran into the battle. "Ha! Ha! Ha! You ain't seen anything yet, you bastard! You killed our comrade! Now, we're going to do everything in our power to kill you!"

"I do commend you on getting this far despite everything Pmurt and I have put in your way. But, I will make all of your accomplishments completely pointless! I will destroy the radical left and to do so, all of you will have to die today and I can't wait for you all to! I am above all of you and destined to create the Neo Miitopian Empire and become the most powerful Great Sage to ever exist throughout all of Miitopia's history!" "If you're going to do that, you'll have to get past everything we have first! As a knight who serves the people, I don't intend on letting you kill anyone else! One day, you will rot! Maybe today, maybe not. Bastards like you are the reason why we knights changed to fight for leftist causes. The role of knights in Miitopia will soon no longer including serving any state or royal family or other organization ever again! Those knights who fight on your side do not truly uphold the virtues and integrity of knights. Let me help show you what a knight can really do! I'll continue from where Swiftdrawer left off! We say hell no to oppression, hell no to capitalism, hell no to fascism, and even more than that!" "You tell em, Mel!" "Your points are excellent but don't let your emotions make you lose touch on some parts of yourselves. We fight together and will protect this world against fascism until our last breaths! We, the tribe of Forest Spirits won't let all these disruptions to nature by maniacs like you, Dark Sage continue for much longer!" "Hahaha! You think any of you stand a chance against me?! Let me show you how wrong you are by revealing my final form! I can't rely on tricks like what I used to kill your useless psychotic friend and we can't delay the operation to invade Equestria. In an hour, we will launch it! Originally, Pmurt was going to keep that plan a secret from even me but then you all took New Lumos away from the Freedom Front and we just couldn't have that! With all of you dead, Equestria will be ours and no one will stand in our way for the expansions of our empires!" Those leading the assault unleash their best moves but don't manage to lay a scratch on the Dark Sage as he begins to transform with some of the Planet Egg's virtually infinite energy.

In a single Planet Egg, there is an untold amount of energy considering the fact that life on Sonic's world has been discovered to even have existed billions of years ago. When the transformation is complete, the Dark Sage destroys some sci fi looking pod that formed from magic and contained him as he evolved. Once out of it, he looks much bigger and completely different. His hair is on very short and blonde, skin is pale, eyes are blue, and he is wearing a Freedom Front flag cloak with white fairy wings growing out of his sides. "Hahaha! Now, none of you can oppose me!" I forgot to mention that he now has a lot of long arms now. With them alone, he attacks a lot of individuals. Shikamaru groans as he struggles and fails to stop one of them from attacking those with him: "Damn it! We have a lot of room to fight but that doesn't make me feel any better. This situation is a big pain and a serious problem. Ino, Choji. I failed so it's up to you to try something that might work now." "Right! Get ready! Mind Transfer Jutsu!" In an unconventional use of that technique, Ino tries to take control of the hand but fails. However, this gives Choji the perfect moment to attack. Most of his body fat vanishes and he sprouts blue butterfly chakra wings: "Take this! My clan's secret technique: Butterfly Mode!" He delivers a bunch of punches but only manages to slow down the hand which has magical energy being poured into it at the moment. "Naruto! You better do something that can help us here! We came all this way from helping other people! Don't screw this up! I don't want to have to evacuate all the people and monsters saved today to a whole other planet! That sounds like a complete pain!" "Don't worry, Shikamaru! I got this! *makes Shadow Clones after going into his ultimate form* I am Naruto Uzamaki and I will become Hokage someday! Believe it! Wind Release: Rasenshuriken! Kyubbi Bomb! And don't forget, Sage Art: Giant Rasengan!" "You're not the only one who will resist, Naruto! Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" "Sakura! Show this person everything I taught you!"

"Libra! Sonic Wave! And Sonic Buster and Infernal Fire Blast!" "Leone! King Lion Crushing Fang!" "Kyoya!! Bull! Bull! Bull! I'm getting into this too! Bull! Dark Bull, Red Horn Uppercut!" "That won't be enough. You must fight too yourselves with your fists or weapons. Accesscode Talker, Firewall Dragon Darkfluid, Cyberse Clock Dragon, Cyberse Quantum Dragon, Cyberse Magician, and Firewall Exceed Dragon, attack! And now, I will also attack! Ai, generate the ultimate Data Storm!" My watching of events gets interrupted by a temporary sense of something that's going to happen in a week from now. Crap. I'm going to get into a small situation that might get much bigger later on (highly unlikely) with one of my siblings and I won't remember until it happens. Damn it, I can almost feel the emotion I'm going to feel right now. It's not good. Not good at all. The watching resumes but the feeling lingers on and bugs me for a little while. Ai creates a huge data storm and Playmaker uses it to deliver some punches and hits with his wrench on the hand coming for them all. That doesn't do much but it's something. The bladers also attack with their beys but it's all basically pointless. With Nagato and some others, things are going quite differently. They're fighting the hand that's after them with all they go but with a twist. Nagato has granted 12 individuals some of his chakra for a short time. Minglow Bats, Katori, Yufa, Judia, Pirate Blaster, Hinata, Anzu, Teacher, Fran, Uraraka, Deku, and Wonder Woman were the recipients. With the teamwork displayed between them and some of their friends, they seriously hurt the hand that's being used to try to kill all of them with punches and magical attacks. I guess even someone as overpowered as the Dark Sage currently can only do so much with attention being so split.

Similar circumstances happen all around the Dark Sage. Either the hands are effectively fought against or they are only being dodged and repelled with no damage being done. I don't see how the Dark Sage can be beaten with the attacks of everyone present. Something else needs to be done and tried quickly. "What a nap causation! We're nowhere close to defeating our foe! This is an emergency! There must be something we can try to stop him. The BRAIN Blasters won't do a thing. Kamehameha needs time and total concentration. Easily said than obtained. We're all fighting beyond our limits, even mages and other spellcasters are. Not with magic but with their actual physical strength. It's a lot harder to limit break with magic than physical strength. Anyone who can transform has transformed including me. What are we missing? What's the formula to solving this complicated predicament? If I had someone to think alongside me, this would be much easier. But right now, I'm the only one who can think hard while fighting even harder. Everyone else must focus solely on taking actions but not thinking as well. Such a nap causation but I will come up with something!" Fluffy Afro happens to be next to him and overhears everything he said. "Hey nerd!" "Fluffy! Why are you calling me a nerd out of nowhere?" "Dominic! You're rarely so riled up!" "I know, thanks for the reminder. What is it that you want? I can't think of anything that can be done to give us a shot at winning that won't certainly end in disappointing failure." "I have an idea for that." "You do? Fluffy Afro has an idea to defeat an enemy that even all of us put together couldn't hope to beat now?" "Yes! Some of us distract him while the others perform fusions and high powered attacks that we know can actually hurt him! I'm going to go somewhere, I'll be right back!" "Where are you going? We need everyone we can get here to fight!" "I know! I won't be long! Promise!" "Nap causation. Just go. I'm sure we'll survive even if you step out of this for a bit." "Dominic, you're so sassy today!" "What a nap causation!"

Dominic focuses more on fighting: "He has his solution, maybe there is one out there for at least slowing the Dark Sage down. I know! I'll rip one of his hands right off. How could have I missed the fact that I might be able to do that? Imperfection sometimes has its nap causing downsides. Oh well, I'm just going to do it and not complain about the fact that I didn't think of this sooner any longer. That's the formula for a healthier mental state which is just what I need after everything we've been through the past almost 10 months alone." With all of his might and intense concentration, Dominic slowly but surely destroys a hand the Drak Sage was about to use to kill some of those fighting him in a rapid and gruesome bloodbath. As soon as he succeeds, Fluffy Afro comes back with a bunch of friends Dominic and I among others have never seen before. "What the?! Fluffy, where did you go? I'll need a nap if you don't answer to be funny. We don't need that at a time like this." "It's simple! I called my old clown friends from when I was a traveling clown before I moved to Willow Creek in my other body! Oh and I brought along some individuals from the Circus Bus too such as Lightning Death Zombie who I was originally weirded out by and Steve the former CEO." They all come through a portal Fluffy opened with his band. Lightning Death Zombie is the last to come out: "It's been a while, Fluffy. A long time actually. I'm ready to do as many demented things as needed!" "Do you consider distracting the enemy to be demented?" "No but I'll do it! Because I haven't had any fun in months! What's going on here has also affected our world to an extent. Things are changing and it's okay." "Yay! Welcome aboard to the improvised in name right on the spot Distraction Squad." "I like it." "Can you all please just do the distracting already? Time is running out for some of us since the injuries are piling up and the cold is seeping into them through those injuries. Don't worry, we'll hit him as hard as we can for all of you. I can't wait for a nap after this."

Lightning Death Zombie grins: "Let's have some fun." And as he, Fluffy, the Wacky Clowns, other clowns, other Circus Bus people, and some others start being extremely distracting, other things happen such as some healing among lots of other stuff. Goten and Trunks fuse into Gottenks before going SS3. Goku and Vegeta fuse into SSB Vegito using Potara earrings. Uub and Buu fuse into Majuub but this time, the fusion isn't permanent. The strongest fusions that are also known to us also are summoned through fusion such as the Ultimate Gem. As if that weren't enough, there's more going on. Since the whole Pmurt Nedib Pain thing, attempts to reach out to other ninja villages in secret have been done. As a result, we now have the other villages of the ninja Earth on our side. Killer B, Gaara, Temari, and more now fight with us sometimes such as today. Gaara has light skin, red hair, a red symbol on his forehead, light blue eyes, and a white and green Kazekage outfit with the symbol for Wind included. "Now then, it's time to bring this individual down. Great Sand Coffin!" "Shadow Stabbing Technique!" Many individuals, Saiyans and Miitopians especially start charging up Kamehameha attacks or similar energy burst attacks such as Galick Gun. Meanwhile, the robots and androids on our side fire up full powered blasts of their own with much of their energy reserves used to do so. And thanks to a combination of science and magic, even All Might is able to prepare a big attack. Some of our comrades succeeded on making him be able to be extremely strong once again but only outside of the My Hero Academia multiverse. That's essentially the only downside. Hopefully, we'll be able to recruit some more individuals to join BRAINS such as Kirito, Alice, Asuna, Leafa, Ash Ketchum, Pikachu, Luxerion, Cluu, and the woman who lived through multiple ghostface murder sprees. For several minutes, the Dark Sage is completely distracted by the distractions: "Stop it! Why did you throw pie in my face?! That's pointless! All of you are so annoying! Get out of my way! Why can't I kill you? Have you glued my hands onto my sides!"

Yeah, real nice annoying distractions perfect for pissing off the enemy to the point of absurdity. Then, some thumbs up are given to those distracting the Dark Sage. Fluffy speaks in a voice full of fake glamour and energy: "And that's where we conclude this show! I hope you enjoyed our personalized, interactive, and immersive performance today! Please come to see us again soon in Willow Creek!" The Dark Sage frees his hands from everything they all did: "You're all going to die now! Ultimate Tower Of Darkflame! I have had enough of you wokeists! I never thought you would stoop as low as making fools of yourselves and me to prove some meaningless argument that you were all rambling about for some reason! Just die already! Accept your fate of death and get out of my sight permanently by letting your bodies be vaporized!" The Wacky Clowns all laugh at the same time and others join them in laughing. "What's so funny? You didn't laugh until now! Are you telling me you only find my rage amusing? This is a new low for you freaks! I can't wait to kill all you mortals! Just you wait! Just you wait!" And then, Nagato appears before the Dark Sage, absorbing the spell with his right hand. "You'll have to do better than that to kill them." The Dark Sage next tries to kill Nagato. However, the Rinnegan user oddly smiles in the midst of serious circumstances: "Now." The Dark Sage suddenly gasps out as pain floods his nervous system from all kinds of attacks only for them to heal instantly. He grins wickedly: "Were you sure your petty distractions and attacks were enough to kill me? Too bad I won't let myself die so easily against freaks like you! After all, I am all powerful! There's nothing you can do to kill me when I'm now immortal."

Shikamaru gets in front of him too and smirks: "You would be right but even immortal people can be killed. I set a trap for an immortal ninja called Hidan. I basically killed that bastard by completely predicting and outsmarting him. I also knew you were going to underestimate us this much so I told some of us to wait until I gave a signal to attack." The Nara clan members throws a smoke bomb in the air and that's when it happens. A whole bunch of life energy based attacks hit the Dark Sage from all sides at once along with more attacks from pretty much everyone else. The attacks from everyone else only made small wounds but that was enough for the life energy to get inside of him. Along with that, some individuals like Carlos started dipping their weapons into the same substance that I make sure always covers my daggers. Those individuals stabbed the Dark Sage many times. Between the damage externally and internally of his body and the life energy, the Dark Sage lost the battle at last in his actual current body, not a puppet in his old one. The real deal. No flukes this time. The energy blasts were blasts you'd think blast right through him but they also only made small wounds though those wounds started at the front of part of the skin and ended through the skin on the backside of his body. The life energy attacks before our eyes forced the Planet Egg right out of the Dark Sage. When that happened, the Planet Egg seeped back into below the entire world and all the snow and cold stopped, only calming down in Powdered Peaks. That just left that substance and a hungry looking Blobber who never got the chance to eat the Dark Sage despite that hunger. "No! I can't lose! I can't lose and die like this! I won't allow it! Even though you got that Planet Egg out of me, I still took enough energy from it to fight for eons against all of you! Now, my body is healing and there's no way you can kill me now! Even that stuff still inside me has become inactive, no longer a threat at all! That's right! It's over! None of your tricks worked! I w- Gaaaaaah! No! I'm still dying! Why am I still being attacked on the inside?" Maya steps forward and goes in front of him to stare right at him as he reverts from the form he transformed into: "What they put into you is magic resistant now! I know so because I tested it myself!"

But before he or anyone else could say anything, Pmurt Nedib appears through a portal with a almost suspicious looking scowl on his face: "Dark Sage, I charged you with control over the Freedom Front. I trusted and worked together with you willingly. However, you have once again failed to meet my expectations. I've taken the liberty of resurrecting every troops of yours you let die today. Not as zombies but as thinking pawns just as they always have been to you. You are dying and I won't let these freaks be the ones to kill you." "What do you mean?! Pmurt! What are you saying?!" "The invasion of Equestria will happen now. And you will be a part of it but in a very different way. What did that sludge villain from the MHA universe say again? Oh right, a skin suit! You'll be my skin suit since you can't do anything right when I need you to! You useless pawn! That's right, I've been using you this entire time! You wouldn't have gotten this far so soon without my help or funding, remember?! It's time for you to find out who's really in charge here! It's not you, it's me! All of you freaks, don't try to stop me! After all, I have made this area a magic dead zone for all magic other than mine as long as I remain here! Same goes for energy! No energy blasts can work here anymore either! You can't stop this! You can't!" In front of everyone, he jumps into the Dark Sage's mouth left foot first. Using magic, he forces the villain to swallow him. The Dark Sage tries to protest but can only make grunts. After a minute, the Dark Sage stops struggling as his eyes go completely white. And then, the amber eyes Pmurt Nedib now has for some reason take the place of his eyes. Pmurt Nedib laughs: "Don't try to fight me! Now that my pawn is also my vessel, I'll kill you all in Equestria if my friends and pawns can't for some reason! Until then, I hope to see you all suffer soon!" He vanishes without a trace. Instead of being shocked about what just transpired, I thought Barla was about to speak. But she disappeared out of nowhere and upon noticing that, everyone gets randomly teleported to different areas of Miitopia.

Bray was the only one unaffected so she's the only one with my corpse now. I watch as she tries her best to bring me back with the mana she has left. Damn it. I need to help her bring me back to life! I just have to. Someway somehow, I must do so. I'm not sure how. What I do know is that it's important and critical. And that's when I remember the portals I've created via struggling to. I CAN help her. I open a portal from where I am to right around where my body is. I couldn't willingly enter it myself but Bray was able to summon my soul, thus forcing me back to Mii World through the portal. I blinked once and found myself in my body, alive once again with Bray healing me with some more of her remaining mana after all of that stuff that went on. "Adam! You're back! I'm so relieved. We shall go to Equestria next to save it. I have an intriguing feeling that you saw everything that happened after you died." "Yes I did. It's good to be alive again. I don't think I've ever been dead as long as during this time around. But what can you do, am I right? More importantly, I even saw you try to bring me back. I also saw what Pmurt just did. And I'm ready to save Equestria. I've known this day would come for some time. But I'm afraid of something I imagined coming true. I'm even more afraid of telling you what it is.. Something that happens in Equestria now that we have to help save it." "My friend, you mustn't burden yourself with such worries. I shall hear you out if you really want to share what that fear is with me.." "No. I'm going to keep it to myself unless it actually happens. It's better that way, I don't want to cause anymore worries for anyone else. Do you know how everyone else is doing?" "It's best to go back to New Lumos to find out. That's where the largest portion of our comrades have been transported. It's okay that you don't wish to tell but if you change your mind, let me know immediately. I shall do what I can for you. I know you shall do the same for me. Like always."

"Like always. Okay, New Lumos it is? Are you done healing me and repairing my equipment?" "Yes, we shall now go there immediately. Take my hand." "Okay." And with that, we go to New Lumos and find out that Barla was just found by Dominic after some searching. He's currently calling her and decided to say that we beat the Nazis as if the Dark Sage were a Nazi army for some reason. Total brain fart moment. It also turns out that most everyone saw Nazi troops get teleported to Equestria before their eyes and after healing was done, they teleported there. Our group was the last group to see such things and when we did, we teleported there ourselves after healing for us was administered too. As soon as I arrived, I saw the Popcorn Monster transform and call themselves the Dark Popcorn Monster. "..I'm here now, ponies and others." "Adam! You're here so that means everyone must be here now! Oh yeah, let's do this thing!" "Don't get so cocky. I've already died today. I'm okay now but that wasn't very fun. Get your head in the game, Rainbow Dash." To be continued in Veil Of Greed: Hunt For The Numbers Chapters 31 and 32.

Outro: Ain't this a chapter?! So much happens. My alternate self lets themselves die just so Bray and others could save some magic. And that was after going insane and being tricked into thinking they were actually close to killing the Dark Sage. At the end, Pmurt Nedib takes over the dying Dark Sage's bidy and launches an invasion of Equestria. Don't mind the situation I mentioned with one of my siblings. It was resolved and a simple misunderstanding in the end. Nothing big by 20 minutes after it occurred. Oh and Suris using a video title of a video he uploaded to state what's happening to rights in America puts it so well. Our rights are bleeding away. We're in a really bad spot. Not the worst spot out of any place on Earth but it's still really messed up. Just watch and notice me vanish from the internet as my stories magically disappear one day from where I've posted them. The fight against fascism is a worldwide struggle. It has been allowed already to get too far. We need to stop it by any means necessary before it's too late. And time is running out. By 2026, America is likely to become a totalitarian one party state at the rate things are going. The future is getting ripped away from marginalized people such as myself. There is still hope because they haven't banned everything or crushed all opposition just yet. Resist. Educate yourselves about what's really going on. Don't trust governments, the media, corporations, the church, or liberal or right wing sources of info. Liberal personalities downplay problems, right wing pundits actively are advocating for genocide. Open your mind and be alert. That's my message this time. Thank you for reading.
