BGM: Tension (Super Mario Galaxy)
"This is honestly how I feel with Vanitas…" Aqua grumbled.
"Ah, so you did miss me." Vanitas casually said, causing Aqua to sigh with a roll of her eyes.
"This guy derezzed Tron just so he can use it for his own benefit! This guy's the reason why Chiaki had a heck of a time with Data Roxas!" Sora exclaimed.
"Ugh, I still get achy when I think of that fight…" Chiaki groaned, rubbing her right shoulder.
"Why should we trust this guy to be on our side? He's nothing more than a data killer!"
"And a pain in the ass." Ironwood added, causing Watts to scoff while rolling his eyes.
"Because he's willing to work with us to get back at Eggman." Kyoko said.
"I get that, but… of all people… why should it be him?" Sora glared. "He's just going to stab us in the back when we're done!"
"Now, I can be a pain in the ass as James described, but I am above betrayal." Watts said.
"Didn't you leave Salem behind?" Aoi asked.
"-As of leaving Salem."
"Sora, you can clobber him when we're done here." Kyoko said. "...Though preferably, without your Keyblade or magic."
"Fine by me. As soon as we're done here, I'm going to make sure this bastard pays for what he did to Tron!"
"Whoa!" Chiaki said in surprise. "Sora, since when did you start cursing?"
"Oh bitch please, don't give me that! You ain't innocent either!" Futaba said. "This coming from the lady who screamed "What the fuck" when I told you about how to 100% Crash 4!
Chiaki blushed, hearing some snickering coming from Hajime and Ibuki. "Uh… nobody's perfect…?"
"Man, where was Hiyoko-chan? She probably would've been like "About time the internet corrupted you"!" Ibuki giggled.
"It was only a matter of time…" Chiaki shook her head with a sheepish giggle.
"Ah, we still love ya." Hajime chuckled.
"Alright…" Kyoko walked forward, looking at the Death Egg. "That's our target. We need to figure out a way to get up there, because…" She looked directly at the Egg Fleet up above. "There's no way they're going to let us use the elevator."
"Hmm…" Futaba rubbed her chin in thought before an idea came to her. "Aha! Okay, so I have an idea that might be crazy enough to work."
"We're open to suggestions." Ironwood said.
"We run up to the Egg Fleet."
End BGM
"...We what?" Lubbock asked.
"I'm sorry, I'm not sure if I heard you correctly. Did you say we "run up" to the Egg Fleet?" Harriet asked.
"You heard correctly." Futaba nodded.
"Ha… hahahaha! You're joking, you're absolutely joking!" Harriet said as she approached her. "Why should we trust you? You're the one who hacked into the network in the first place. This whole Eggman invasion is your fault."
"Okay, first of all, I hack into networks when I'm bored, see what makes it tick and I either leave it alone or I decide to add my own personal touch to it, adding more firewalls or whatever. However, I ran into a roadblock when Watts's anti-hacking software tried to kick me out. I asked for outside help, found SonicFan70 and I immediately thought it was Tails."
"I don't blame her." Tails said.
"Apparently it was none other than Eggman, it's what I get for assuming, but he helped me get into the network. How the hell was I supposed to know it was Eggman, let alone foresee what he'd do? I didn't know it was him, and by the time he made that first announcement when he outed Cinder-"
"I've been meaning to roast his butt for a while…" Cinder mumbled.
"I was devastated… and of course Dimentio had to brainwash Ironwood and tried to kill me, but I worked my ass off to rebuild an entire network from scratch, and when I was finally done, I uploaded it and shared it with the two Atlesian generals."
"But you STILL hacked into the network!" Harriet grabbed Futaba by the collar. "And believe me, if you weren't from another world and you were a native, I'd immediately have your ass in prison."
"Why don't you cool off? Your bitchy attitude is stinking up the place."
"BITCHY?!" Harriet growled. "Honey, you haven't seen anything yet."
"Bring it. I can take it!" Futaba glared.
"Harriet, stand down." Ironwood said. "That's an order."
Elm gently pulled Harriet by the side. "Come on now." She turned to Futaba. "Sorry about this, she tends to think with her feelings first."
"Do not…" Harriet grumbled.
"Karen…" Futaba mumbled under her breath.
"WHAT'D YOU SAY?!" Harriet yelled. "I HEARD THAT!"
"Easy, easy!" Elm said, pulling her away. "Do any of you have a calming semblance to calm this little lady down?"
"I have one." Ren spoke up as Elm dragged Harriet away.
"ELM, LET ME GO SO I CAN CLOBBER THAT LITTLE BRAT. I DON'T CARE IF SHE'S THE WINTER MAIDEN! AAAARGH!"
"Cry about it…" Futaba smirked with her arms folded.
"CRY ABOU- I'M SCREAMING ABOUT-"
Ren immediately put his hand on Harriet's shoulder, using his semblance to calm her.
"ABOUT… ABOUT… oooh…" Harriet immediately conked out asleep. "Zzzz…"
"Huh, was not expecting that…" Ren mused. "Must have been all that stress for the past few hours that kept her awake."
Elm put Harriet over her shoulder. "There, now she's easier to manage!"
"Going to get you… zzzzzzz…"
"I think we're all running on adrenaline at this point." Blake said.
"I'm not. I tend to game until like 5 to 6 AM but play with headphones on so I don't disturb BB-8, Elfi and Kirby. This is nothing!" Chiaki grinned.
"Let me see." Ren said as he used his semblance on Chiaki. To his surprise, she didn't even yawn. "...Oh wow!"
"Yup. I tend to go to sleep around that time, wake up at noon… it's the life~" Chiaki giggled.
"Damn, wish I could sleep 'til noon…" Yang mumbled.
"Except for those times when you sleep with me, then you tend to fall asleep at 11 to midnight." Hajime pointed out.
"Well, duh, you're the exception."
"Oho! He's the exception~!" Deadpool playfully nudged her, causing both to blush.
"Bitch is lucky we're in this situation…" Nyx grumbled, referring to Harriet. "I'd be clobbering her for what she almost did to Futaba…"
"I was ready to suck her into my Poltergust." Jade grumbled.
"Um… guys? Aren't we supposed to be, oh, I don't know, running up to Eggman?" Emerald asked.
"Oh relax, we've got plenty of time. We can have five minutes left and we'd still have plenty of time." Samus said. "An hour to kill? I can practically take a nap, wake up, knock Eggman out and stop the death counter with minutes to spare. Heck, I can run a few laps and I'd still have time."
"It's true." Blake nodded.
"Though, we should be moving… not all of us have experience escaping exploding planets or have super speed." Nyx pointed out.
"And besides-" Kyoko spoke up. "The big guy's already setting up his "presentation" for our advances on Eggman's turf. I'm not worried." She said, pointing over to Bowser who had a white board.
"Let's see… carry the five… position myself right there…" Bowser mused.
"How about that little spot right there?" Zinnia pointed on the white board.
"Over there's a good spot too." Terry added.
"Ah! Yes, I was just getting to those moments!" Bowser said.
"See? We're fine." Kyoko smiled.
"Where'd he get the white board?" Ruby asked with a sweatdrop.
"I had worse apocalypse scenarios." Carmen said.
"Alright, here's what I have in mind. Sonic, Shadow, Silv-... wait, where's SIlver?"
Silver teleported back to them with Blaze next to him. "Sorry about that, I had to go fetch Blaze since she wanted a part of the action."
"Apologies. I was busy cleaning up Green Hill Zone." Blaze said.
Futaba chuckled. "Glad to have you on board, Blaze."
Robyn cleared her throat. "You were saying, Frosty?"
"On, right. Anyway. Sonic, Shadow, Silver… I need you to be on the front of the pack here. The rest of you will follow suit."
"Okay, so how are we running up to the Egg Fleet?" Shadow asked.
Futaba smiled. "Sonic, you recall running through space on hard light tracks with the Wisps, right?
Sonic immediately knew what Futaba was thinking of, getting into position. "Light 'em for me, snowflake!" He said as Futaba activated her technomancy and started conjuring up hard light tracks, complete with dash panels along with three starting paths.
"How are we going to catch up with them?" Clover asked.
"Have any of you experienced Mario Kart?" Chiaki asked, looking through her screens.
"No…?" Marrow tilted his head. "What's that?"
Chiaki smiled. "You're about to experience it." She said, pressing the select button as a plethora of bikes, ATVs and karts surrounded them all. "For those who don't want to tag along in Morgana, now would be a good time for you to pick a ride and go for it." She said, hopping on a Mach Bike with Hajime climbing aboard.
"Let's do this!" Sora exclaimed.
"Yeah, let's go kick Eggman's butt and save Remnant from doom!" Donald exclaimed.
"...What did the duck say?" Elm asked.
"Uh, "wak wak"?" Marrow scratched his head.
"I swear I heard a "doom"." Vine mused.
"Was it doom? I heard "foom"." Thor said.
"I thought it was "vroom"..." Kate said.
Donald looked at them in annoyance while hearing stifled giggles from Mythra and Pyra. "Ah phooey!"
Weiss gently felt a hand grasping hers. She looked to see Meryl grasping her hand with a soft smile on her face. "I… I just want to thank you for… snapping me out of it, Dark Wei-... no… Meryl."
Meryl smiled. "You're welcome." She said.
"And… I… I didn't mean what I-"
Meryl put her finger on her lips. "We can worry about that after we defeat Robotnik."
Weiss nodded. "Yeah…" She softly said as her team gave her a quick hug as even Winter joined in.
Shadow and Silver got into position side by side with Sonic. "Think you both can keep up?" He smirked.
"Hmph. Just don't get in my way." Shadow said with a small smirk.
"I'd be more concerned if you were the slowpoke." Silver chuckled.
Futaba raised her arm. "Ichi ni tsuite!" (On your mark!)
All three hedgehogs got into position, their fingers barely touching the ground.
"Junbi o totonoeru!" (Get set!)
All the vehicles revved up as Makoto gripped Morgana's wheel.
Futaba grinned, throwing her arm down. "Iku!" (Go!)
BGM: Starlight Carnival - Act 1 (Sonic Colors)
All three hedgehogs ran past Futaba, taking the middle path while everyone else drove on any path they felt like.
Jade pulled up near Futaba in a Jet Bike. "Need a ride?"
"I can fly, but… eh, what the hell!" Futaba landed in the back, both of them sharing a kiss before Jade revved it up.
"Hang on to something!" She said as Futaba wrapped her arms around her, then Jade took off.
Up ahead, the three of them quickly pulled ahead on one another, though Sonic picked up speed for the hell of it as the hard light path kept materializing in front of them, not that they were worried as Tails flew by in the X-Tornado, giving them a wave before flying off ahead, alongside Zinnia on Rayquaza and Bowser on his clown car.
Tails' eyes immediately widened as they saw airships coming down at them. "Here comes the cavalry!"
Zinnia smirked. "Oh please, they're not much! Let's make 'em dance, Ray Ray!"
Rayquaza nodded, unleashing Hyper Beam on a few airships as Tails opened fire while Bowser fired a few cannonballs.
"We can't let them have all the fun, can't we, Acnologia?" Cinder smirked as her Charizard roared before unleashing Fire Blast on a few unsuspecting Badniks as Victor and Neo were near her with Naganadel using Dragon Rush.
Back on the ground, the hedgehogs boosted off of a dash panel, leaping off of a ramp as the trio did a few tricks before landing on the ground, proceeding to go up a spiral while dashing through, then they went forward where they went around a few corners before they went over a loop before launching through the air.
They landed on the other end of the hard light ground as they continued to run straight for the Egg Carrier.
"Is this thing on? Hello? Testing! Okay, good." Eggman said from the speaker. "Attention survivors of Atlas and Mantle. I sure hope you witnessed Weiss Schnee's glorious meltdown that was secretly broadcasted to the whole world. Her so-called Fierce Deity is one for the ages, is it not? I sure like to thank those who never bothered to calm Weiss down when she needed it the most before it was too late. Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna, Yang Xiao Long, Winter Schnee and the others… you really never bothered to calm her down. You were so busy plotting to take me down that you influenced Weiss without even realizing it. Because of you, she was broadcasted to the whole world that she was eager for bloodshed, whether it be friend or foe alike. Is this who you want to reshape the Schnee Dust Company from the ground up?
I would also like to dedicate my time to those rioters who claimed that the Schnees couldn't save Atlas. How could they? They left Atlas because of Jacques Schnee, to which I say that he is actually still alive."
"HUH?!" Weiss yelled in surprise.
"It is true that Seryu Ubiquitous killed him, but he was miraculously revived but as a slave to a vampire known as Celestia Ludenburg, or should I say… Taeko Yasuhiro. He's currently in Castlevania if you want to take a peek at his misfortune. Heck, I even secretly took pictures of him. I'm uploading them to your social medias as I speak.
But enough about him! You all put the blame on the Schnees. Let me tell you something. How in the world would it be possible for a few individuals who heavily influenced Atlas to somehow save Atlas from falling? How could they? They don't even have the power to lift a large piece of rock floating in the sky. You expect them to carry the city on their shoulders… How naively stupid!
And speaking of stupid, let's go back to you rioters for a moment. You pinned the blame on not only the Schnees, but to a hip hop band known as Sea5ons. You were all even blaming some Faunus and humans who were among the only ones fighting to help you. You pinned all of that nonsense on some innocents… Remnant truly IS lost if this is how society works here.
Who you should have pinned all of that hatred toward… was ME! THE GREAT DR. EGGMAN! I was the one who instilled fear into you when I opened your eyes to Salem. Did you blame the Schnees or Sea5ons for that? How quickly you forget!
I hope that you reflect on your outbursts and realize that you have made a great mistake. Although given you have forty five minutes left, you probably don't have enough time to reflect on all of your mistakes. Consider this my final broadcast before I reshape Remnant into a better future for us all. I hope you're happy with what hatred you misplaced."
In the Death Egg…
Eggman smirked. "That'll keep 'em busy for a while." He said.
"Doctor!" Orbot came floating over.
"Yes, what is it?"
"We just received intel that Kyoko Kirigiri is still alive!"
"Hah!" Eggman laughed as he pulled out a water bottle. "Good one."
"No, really!" Orbot pressed a button as camera footage closed in on the hardlight trails that Futaba had created. It zoomed in directly on Kyoko driving a mach bike.
"PFFFFTTTTTHHHH!"
Eggman coughed after doing a spit take. "WHAT. So it's true… Kiri still lives! Hmph! Apparently that Fake Emerald was enough to protect her. Huh… I thought that was only Sonic who can do such a thing."
He rubbed his chin in thought. "Then again, everyone was under the influence of the Chaos Emeralds when they fought Bowser in the center of the universe."
"Give or take fifty feet!" Orbot said.
"And, I recall the whole thing with the Shroob queen…" Eggman clasped his hands together. "Huh…"
He waved it off. "Bah! Dead or not, Kyoko doesn't concern me!"
"Boss!" Cubot ran over to him. "We got news!"
"Tell me it's good!" He said as he took another swig from his water bottle.
"The weapon that was going to be used to nuke all of Remnant? It's been severed!"
"PFFFFFFTTTTTTHHHHHHH!"
Meanwhile…
Sephiroth walked out with a casual whistle. "That'll keep him busy for a while." He said, staring at Esdeath, Daisy, Luigi, the Shroobs, Hilda, Lysithea, Gloria, Marnie, Piers, Captain Slime and General Guy who they saved.
"Is this everyone?" Esdeath asked. "Wait, where's Bowsette and-"
"Hey Sephiroth!" Bowsette approached him with Rei. "You missed a spot." She said, pointing to the Rose family walking behind them.
"Ah, I was wondering where they were…" Sephiroth mused. "Now then, let's see what else we can wreck."
Esdeath cracked her knuckles. "I'm ready to knock him down a peg."
Back with Eggman…
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WAS SEVERED?!"
"It's just like that. It was severed!" Cubot said.
"Well, find a way to UNSEVER the thing then! And destroy the saboteur responsible for this!" Eggman growled. "I swear, if I couldn't find Captain Syrup in that invisible ship, it's got to be her. AND SOMEONE, GET ME A FRESH WATER BOTTLE!"
End BGM
Back with the heroes…
3:20 AM
BGM: Egg Carrier, A Song That Keeps Us On The Move (Sonic Adventure)
Sonic landed on the bridge with Shadow and Silver landing behind him where they noticed hardlight tracks going around them. "I made the others go around the ship so they can enter on the inside. They'll never see it coming!" Futaba said.
"Thanks Futaba!" Sonic said as they turned around to see them being joined by Weiss, Meryl, Rouge, Omega, Blaze, The Blades, Sora, Aoi, Terry, Shez and Byleth.
"Is this it?" Shez asked.
"Looks like it." Blaze nodded. "Now, to figure out how to get inside the ship."
"Please, if I know Eggman, he probably built it exactly as he did with the first two Egg Carriers." Sonic said.
"I can confirm that the model is exactly the same, only with a few more thrusters, lasers and even several rail cannons." Omega said.
"That's it? Pah… weak." Sonic chuckled as they walked around.
"The left side needs an opening, frosty!" Robyn called out.
"Right side needs one too!" Akira said.
"Goodness, you guys are so high maintenance." Futaba teased. "Be right there!"
The group walked through the bridge of the Egg Carrier, when the alarms started blaring as a large hatch opened up.
"Oh, looks like we're gonna have ourselves a rail cannon!" Sonic said.
"Do rail cannons usually have four legs though?" Mythra wondered as a large mechanical creature emerged, letting out a roar.
"Holy shit, that's an effin' Behemoth!" Ryuji exclaimed.
"A wh-what?!" Meryl whimpered, flashing back to where she got eaten by one. She froze in fear as her eyes widened.
Weiss shifted her eyes, quickly transforming into her Sheikah Form. "I'm not going to let this eat you. Not this time."
"Well, time to kick this thing's ass!" Aoi said, getting in a fighting stance. "Ready, Terry?"
"Ready!" Terry got in a stance as well as Sora summoned his Keyblade.
BGM: eScape (Final Fantasy XIV)
Guardian of the Egg Carrier - Egg Behemoth
The Egg Behemoth lunged as Silver swiftly caught it with his telekinesis and pushed it back, throwing a few Psycho Knives at it while Sonic spin dashed right into it. The Egg Behemoth swung his tail to knock Sonic away, but he jumped on his tail and ran across it, spin dashing into its back.
"Charged." Omega said as he jumped up and aimed directly at the Behemoth while Weiss used a few clones to distract the Egg Behemoth. "Fire!" He fired Shadow and Rouge into the Egg Behemoth, both of them striking the Egg Behemoth.
The Egg Behemoth raised its tail up in the air, conjuring up a massive ball of fire and shooting it at the group, but Blaze raised her hands up to stop the fireball from heading toward them as Pyra jumped up and slashed at the fireball to create small portions of it.
With a smirk, Blaze manipulated the flames to create fire birds as she unleashed it directly at the Behemoth, creating small explosions that peppered it as it roared, lunging at Blaze as it bit down at her, but she gracefully backflipped while leaving behind a fire mine that exploded.
Mythra grabbed Sora's arm. "Ready bro?"
"Ready!"
Mythra unleashed Photon Edge, throwing Sora straight for him as he quickly corkscrewed into the Behemoth, then bounced away as Mythra used Chroma Dust as Sora used Magnega to wrap the Chroma Dust around him, using Firaga to add into it before he launched it up in the air as Mythra jumped up and unleashed Lightning Buster to make it rain Firaga Dust, creating several explosions as both of them landed on the ground, fist bumping one another.
Shez cross slashed the Behemoth while Byleth threw out a few Arc Fires while then switching to the Sword of the Creator and slashed at the beast. The Behemoth snarled, unleashing an electrical field that shocked Pyra as she was too close, but Sonic quickly swooped in to grab Pyra before the Behemoth could do any more damage to her.
"Thank you!" Pyra smiled and when the electrical field disappeared, Aoi and Terry went right for it, both of them striking the ground for a Tidal/Power Wave attack that caught the Behemoth's attention after Weiss struck it with icicles, the latter not moving from her position to protect Meryl who was in the middle of a panic attack.
Terry unleashed an uppercut to knock the Behemoth's head back as Aoi jumped up and unleashed her own Power Dunk, which was flipping herself over and heel kicked in the head. Once connected, it unleashed a splash of water that Aoi manipulated and shoved a water spear in the Egg Behemoth's head, then backflipped away.
Both of them looked at each other and with a nod, they both lunged right at the Behemoth. "Are you okay? BUSTER WOLF/TORRENT BLAST!"
The resulting punches was enough to send the Behemoth flying back several feet as Shadow threw in a Chaos Blast for good measure. With a snarl, the Behemoth leaped into the air and landed behind Meryl.
"Yagh!" She screamed as Weiss immediately got in front.
"Don't even think about it, buddy boy!" Weiss glared. "You and your music aren't going to change a thi-... wait, music? Where's that coming from?"
End BGM
"Now that you mention it, I'm hearing it too. Where is it-" Silver's question was immediately answered when he saw a Warthog leaping off of the hard light road.
BGM: Warthog Song (Red vs Blue)
"YEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAW!" Sarge cried as Soldier poked his head out of the passenger seat and proceeded to fire rockets at the Behemoth, one of them was actually glowing.
"Crocket!" He declared as they struck the Behemoth, and then the Warthog actually crashed into it as the Behemoth was pushed back, along with Simmons shredding the Behemoth with the minigun.
"Suck it, you gigantic beast scorpion thing!" He said as the Warthog pushed the Behemoth as it attempted to fight back but the tail was quickly shredded to nothing as the Warthog continued to push it… until it was pushed off the Egg Carrier as it's roar slowly faded away.
End BGM
"U! S! A! U! S! A!" Soldier saluted as Sniper's minivan drove off the Hardlight road before stopping, then everyone else hopped out.
"Hellooooo~!" Medic waved. "Anyone need some healing?"
"I… wouldn't mind." Pyra said as Medic immediately healed her up.
"We were handling ourselves just fine." Shadow said.
"Yes, but were you pushing that thing's keister off of the ship? You're welcome, by the way!" Sarge said.
"...Thanks anyway?" Blaze blinked as they walked off together, finding themselves at the cockpit where everyone else had regrouped.
"Oh hey, those guys are here!" Chiaki smiled.
"Yo! Thought we could help out." Grif said.
"You guys need anything?" Epsilon asked.
"Well, the more the merrier." Futaba smiled as they found the cockpit. "Alright… now to fly this thing into the park and-"
Suddenly the alarms blared as they would see from the cameras that they were quickly surrounded by airships.
"Shit, I thought we got them all!" Zinnia exclaimed.
BGM: Tension (Persona 5)
"OHOHOHOHO! You thought you could try to hijack the Egg Carrier by eliminating the airships? I made more just in case!"
All the ships aimed directly at the Egg Carrier.
"I'm not too worried, I made a fourth version of the Egg Carrier ready for transport in case this one fails!" Eggman said. "All systems full power! Blow those idiots out of the-"
"Can't let you do that, Robotnik!"
"Huh?"
End BGM
Immediately, lasers struck the airships' laser cannons, destroying them. In a flash, Arwings and Wolfens flew by.
BGM: Star Fox Theme (Star Fox Assault)
"No way… no frickin' way!" Futaba said.
"We got your back, guys. We're gonna save Remnant from Eggman by any means necessary!" Fox said as they saw more ships coming into radar as they saw the Halberd flying into view with the Great Fox with them. In fact, the Gensokoyans were flying alongside the Halberd.
In fact, outside, several airships randomly exploded.
"YEAH, GOT 'EM!" A voice cried as a ship uncloaked itself.
"Syrup!" Kyoko exclaimed with a surprised yet relieved smile.
"What, did you really think I'd stay there after I found out you were ejected from the Death Egg? I wasn't going to be Egghead's prisoner!"
"Syrup…" Ironwood growled before chuckling. "You have my thanks."
Outside, more airships tried to fly toward them, but arrows suddenly struck them and exploded as several Centurions flew overhead.
"Deploying all Centurions! Do not let Eggman destroy Remnant!" Palutena called out.
"You can't have all the fun, Palutena! Children, destroy these vile robots!" Viridi exclaimed.
"Remnant is mine to torment, not Eggman! Knock 'em down, underlings!" Hades declared.
"Nice world you got here! Now it's time for the Pyro Snake to do his thing! SHAZAMMITYLAM!"
Samus chuckied. "It's about time everyone pitched in."
"Oh Sammy, we're just fashionably late~!" Palutena teased.
"We can focus on teasing later. We have Remnant to save from the doctor." Meta Knight said.
End BGM
Junko sighed with relief. "Oh, thank god… everyone's pitching in."
"Alright, now how are we going to fly this thing…" Futaba wondered.
"Puedo conectarlo." (I can hotwire it.) Lopez said.
"Eso llevará demasiado tiempo." (That will take too long.)
"Disparates. Será- ESPERA QUÉ?!" (Nonsense. That will take- WAIT WHAT?!)
Lopez looked at Jade in shock, who was giving him a smile with a smug look in her eyes.
"Qué, pensaste que eras la única en hablar español?" (What? Thought you were the only one who can speak Spanish?"
"Tu puedes entenderme?" (You can understand me?)
"Si."
"OH NO, ESTOY CONDENADO." (OH NO, I'M DOOMED.)
"Told you he'd flip." Jade said.
Nyx laughed. "Nice one." She said, both of them fist bumping.
"Ah, here are the controls!" Futaba said. "Let's see here…"
"Wait, we need something to distract Eggman while we fly." Chiaki said.
"I was thinking the same thing." Futaba said.
"Perhaps we can hack into the Death Egg's main computer." Watts suggested.
"You're speaking my language!" Futaba grinned as both went right to work hacking into it. "Alright, Egghead… this is for the time you unknowingly humiliated me and almost got me killed." She said to herself.
"And this is for humiliating me back at Fodlan." Watts said as they hacked in sync until they were in the network. "We're in!"
"Now for the fun part… mwehehehehe~" Futaba grinned evilly as her glasses shimmered. She pulled out her phone. "Hell hath no fury like a gamer scorned!" She said before she got an idea. "Hey Chiaki, give me your phone real quick."
"Okay!" Chiaki handed it over.
"Let's see he-... HOLY SHIT, HOW MANY MEME FOLDERS DO YOU HAVE IN THIS THING?!" Futaba yelled.
"Quite a lot." Chiaki smiled innocently. "What, you don't have that many meme folders in yours~?" She teased.
"Nope, we just have excellent taste~" Futaba said, both of them high fiving as she uploaded the folders into the main computer. "Alright, have a little taste of this."
Up at the Death Egg…
"Incoming transmission: Futaba Sakura"
"Futaba?! She hacked into this mainframe?!"
"Konichiwa~! Thought I could give you a thank you present for helping me hack into Remnant's network!"
"You have mail!"
Eggman curiously looked into it, seeing a link that said "VIRUS IN THIS. ONLY A GENIUS CAN SAFELY CLICK ON THIS."
"Well, good thing I have an anti-virus software installed. Do your worst!" Eggman said, clicking on it.
At that moment, a picture of a cat stared directly at a cheeseburger.
"I can haz cheezburger?"
"...What." Eggman blinked.
Egg Carrier…
"That old meme?" Ann raised an eyebrow.
"Can't go wrong with the classics~" Futaba giggled.
Death Egg…
"Yes, it's very cute." Eggman said, clicking the next button.
"I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow to the knee."
"Oh come o- you DO realize that's not what you think it means, right? It clearly means you blame your spouse for making you miss your adventures!"
Eggman clicked the next button.
BGM: Never Gonna Give You Up (Rick Astley)
Eggman stared at the music video that was playing before him.
"Ha ha. Very childish. Not like I haven't heard this before."
End BGM
Suddenly, the video started to buffer as a message popped up.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I mean to rickroll you? I'm above that… it's not like I'm a… BAD APPLE."
BGM: Bad Apple!
"Huh… this is new…" Eggman mused. "Nice silhouette art."
He chuckled. "How nice of you, Futaba, but I've got important work to do. So you can just-... wait… what… why can't I click out of this?"
"Yeah, I made it possible where you can't get out of our memes. Enjoy the montage of memes with a plethora of meme music videos!"
"How many memes did you put in there?"
"Oh, I dunno… about… twelve… thousand."
"TWELVE WHAT?!"
"It might be thirteen thousand, I lost track of how many memes Nanami stored in her phone. Have fun, Egghead~!"
Eggman sweatdropped. "I might have made a mistake throwing her under the bus…"
With Sephiroth and crew…
"What in…?" Tai wondered as the song blasted through the speakers.
"Okay, I swear I heard this somewhere before." Marnie said.
"Kinda catchy, not gonna lie." Luigi said with Daisy nodded her head to the beat.
"Curious… but let's keep moving." Sephiroth said.
End BGM
With the gang…
"Fascinating… apparently your shenanigans has stopped the timer." Watts said.
3:35 AM
"Alriiiiight, now let's put him to shame!" Futaba grinned. "This is just the beginning of my revenge~!"
"I've never seen a playful vengeance before…" Edelgard said.
"This is the perfect time, honestly." Carmen said as she walked into the middle of the bridge. She pulled out the crystal that Ruby had given her. "It's time I summoned some special friends."
She planted her hand on the ground with the crystal in the middle as a summoning sigil was formed with seven circles.
"Herein lies the Chronicles of the Traveler, Shepherd to the Stars of the Dark. Wherever you walk, my dearest friend, fate shall surely follow."
At that moment, electricity crackled from the ground as everyone watched as two figured emerged from one circle. Two androids to be exact.
Carmen smiled. "2B, 9S. Glad for you to join us, old friends."
2B said nothing as she approached her as the two hugged. "Good to see you again, Carmen."
Chiaki's eyes widened. Fangirl later… fangirl later…!
"Whoa." Futaba said.
Carmen turned around. "Everyone, this is 2B and 9S. They're good friends of mine." She said. "Guys, this is… well, a lot of people, but we can introduce-"
At that moment, they heard electricity crackling from the summoning sigil.
"Oh my, did I accidentally summon more?" Carmen wondered.
"Are you going to cancel it out?" 9S asked.
"Actually, I want to see how it plays out."
The second sigil glowed brightly.
BGM: Snake Eater (Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater)
Standing before them was a man that was all too familiar for them, though he was wearing green camouflage instead.
"Snake…?" Samus asked.
"Actually, that's Big Boss." Futaba said.
"...Oh, is THAT what he's calling himself now?" Samus rolled her eyes. "Can't fool me, David."
"Who's David?" He asked as Samus blinked.
"...Oh my, that's actually someone else." Dammit, I really need to look more into Metal Gear's weird history…
Big Boss walked out, looking around to see where he is. "Where am I?"
"Long story." Carmen said.
End BGM
Another circle lit up as two figures emerged from the circle. One was a small robot and the other… was a Lombax.
BGM: Rift Apart (Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart)
"Ooooh, good thing Ibuki's been getting into Ratchet & Clank lately!" Ibuki said.
"Wait, you haven't gotten into it yet?" Chiaki asked.
"Aheheh… Ibuki's more of a Mario Kart kind of gal…"
"Huh, that's weird. I could've sworn we were facing Emperor Nefario-" Ratchet turned around. "Whoa! Where are we? Rivet? Kit? Where are you?"
"Ratchet, it appears we have company." Clank said.
"Hmm?" Ratchet turned around. "Whoa! You guys are… unique. Sup! Name's Ratchet."
"And I'm Clank."
BB-8 let out a few chirps.
"I do appear to be missing an arm, but I am used to it."
Why does that weird creature sound like Tidus? Sora wondered.
End BGM
The next circle lit up as everyone saw a metallic figure emerge from the circle. He also had a small green pointed ear baby Yoda-like creature next to him.
BGM: Main Theme (The Mandalorian)
The metallic figure said nothing but he turned around, aiming his blaster at them. "Who are you?"
"Whoa, easy big guy!" Ratchet raised his arms up. "We're on your side… I hope!"
"Holy shit, that's the Mandolorian and Baby Yoda!" Grif exclaimed.
"Actually Grif… his name is Grogu." Simmons said.
"Who the fuck names their kid Grogu? It's obviously Baby Yoda!"
"Grogu."
"Baby Yoda!"
"Grogu!"
"BABY YODA!"
"GROGU, YOU IDIOT!"
"Baby Grogu Yoda!" Caboose said.
"...Judging by them, you are not hostile but you appear to have some idiots with you." Mando said.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN IDIOT?!" Simmons and Grif yelled.
"You get used to it." Washington said.
Grogu said nothing, but instead he cutely waved at everyone.
End BGM
At that moment, another circle lit up as Mando quickly turned around and aimed his blaster at whoever was summoned.
BGM: Get Jinxed (League of Legends)
A blue haired twin tailed maniac emerged from the circle, holding a rocket launcher in her hand. "What…? Didn't I just shoot a rocket toward-..."
She sniffed, rubbing her eyes and patted her cheeks as she sported a happy go lucky smile. "Sup! Name's Jinx!"
"What did you just blow up?" Mando demanded.
"Ooooh, you're a big hunk in that shiny cage. What, you hiding something in there? Probably a small dick if I'm honest."
"...Good thing I finally got around to watching Arcane." Chiaki said. Poor girl needs a hug though…
"What are you saying?" Mando wondered as Jinx turned around and saw Ratchet, her eyes sparkling as she picked him up.
"Wh-whoa!"
"You are by far the cutest teddy bear I've ever seen!"
"T-Teddy bear?!"
Jinx gave him a squeeze before putting him down. "So, who's this ragtag group of misfits?"
End BGM
At that moment, another circle lit up as they would see a teenage girl appearing before them, wearing what appeared to be a sailor outfit as she had a red streak on her forehead.
BGM: Don't Lose Your Way (Kill la Kill)
Rouge blinked. "Shadow, is that the girl from that one anime you watch… Kill something?"
Shadow's eyes widened in surprise. "Kill la Kill."
"That's the one!"
"Just a teenage girl…" Mando mused.
"Who the HELL do you think you are calling me "Just a teenage girl", bucket brain?" The girl sneered. "Name's Ryuko Matoi and-"
She turned her eyes to see Ratchet and Clank.
"...Who the shit left their teddy bear here?"
"Yeesh." Jinx looked at Ryuko and then back at everyone else. "What's with this sassy lost child here?"
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME, BITCH?!" Ryuko yelled as she lunged and swung down her scissor blade in anger but Jinx blocked with her machine gun.
"Yeesh, who pissed in your cereal this morning?" Jinx asked.
"Ahem." Shadow got between them. "Excuse me, if it's not too much trouble to ask, um… would you sign this autograph?" He blushed. "It's not for me, it's for a friend."
He heard snickering coming from Rouge.
"Uh… sure." Ryuko blinked as she started to write her name. "To my number one fan, I guess…" She handed him the autograph. "Here ya go, emo hog."
"Thank you." Shadow said as he walked off, trying his best to not form an ecstatic smile.
End BGM
"Wait, was that six or seven?" Ruby wondered.
"Six. I wonder who-"
The last circle lit up, interrupting them all. A cloud of smoke surrounded them as they would see a Spartan rising from the smoke.
BGM: Finish the Fight (Halo 3) (Start at 1:07)
The Spartan turned around to face them, where they would see the numbers 117 on the chest plate.
"HOLY MOLY, IT'S THE MASTER CHIEF." Sarge said.
"G-G-Good lord! It's him!" Tucker exclaimed.
"Uh… uuuuuuh…!" Epsilon bowed as did the rest of the Red Team.
"Well, I'll be damned." Carolina said as they heard a fangirl scream coming from Chiaki.
"Feel better?" Ibuki asked.
"Oh, absolutely!" Chiaki giggled.
"Chief, where are we?" Cortana wondered.
"I have no idea." Chief said as he walked forward, turning his attention to Mando and Big Boss, doing a little "sup" nod at them before he heard a giant THUD.
He turned his attention to see Doom Guy having vaulted over the stairs and approached the Chief.
Both of them stared each other down, saying nothing. They both raised their arms and then grasped each other's hand right after, staring into each other's visors with valor and respect toward each other.
"Excuse me, Master Chief. Uh… we're big fans of your work!" Sarge said.
"Who are you?"
"We're the Reds and Blues!"
"...Oh god, is it those idiotic simulation troopers I've heard about?" Cortana let out a groan.
"Wow. Another tin can. How lovely." Ryuko rolled her eyes.
"More than you expected?" 2B asked.
"Yeah, but this is quite the spectacle. A little bit of overkill, but considering who we're up against, we could use some overkill." Carmen said. "Now then, we-"
End BGM
Suddenly an alarm sounded.
"We got an intruder heading here fast!" Watts exclaimed.
"What? Who's-"
BOOM!
An explosion was heard as a blue robot came flying into the bridge, armed and loaded.
Penny gasped. "SAPR…?"
"...Where is he? Where's Robotnik?"
Ibuki: Hoo boy, this party's getting crazy as Dante would say!
Deadpool: Yeah!
Shout out to Cody who suggested "Hey, why don't we have Carmen summon 2B and 9S? Heck, we can go crazy and have her summon a few more if we want!"
