"Okay, here we go." Feli takes a deep breath.
Feli starts telling the story, thus the flashback:
"Feli, I want to beat you up." Lemres told Feli. "Because Ecolo knows better than to mess with... something I'm not gonna tell you."
"But it's confirmed that apple girl is hanging out with... that..." Feli argued. "Oh no..."
"Space-time union, you mean?" Lemres dismissed. "That's because they're both desperate. for whatever I won't reveal you."
"No... we've to do Puyo battle!?" Feli is shocked.
"If necessary!" Lemres jumped straight into combat using Puyos.
And so, a hard-fought Puyo battle ensued, with Lemres managing what would normally be a close victory... but he's not done.
"Lemres!"/"先輩!" Feli begged. "Stop!"
Lemres beat Feli up with his magics, activated by Puyos despite winning that battle. He went that too far, and soon Feli ended up bleeding.
In the end, Feli can barely move, not even reach to Puyos anymore, let alone fighting any longer. She's horribly beaten, and is now on verge of death. Lemres even kicked Feli in her face and threw her body in a colossal stack of garbage Puyos, seemingly dismissing his junior and love that he isn't interested yet in the first place. He seems... unusually happy for something that utterly traumatized even the one junior who's in the same school as him and desired him all along. And he didn't even apologize for it, but instead mocked her (albeit gently in his style) even when she's dying.
"It's done, Feli. I know what to do." Lemres then leaves Feli for dead. "I'm sure his possession with her is going to be a good choice in the long run, and I want to reinforce that. Bye, Feli."
Feli is left crying, in the night she was beaten up bloodily. She didn't expect Lemres to be so utterly mean and distrustful to her, let alone be that hateful and malicious towards her now, much less be so insane and bloodthirsty he decided to beat her up. And that night, she got her first two new nightmares: Ecolo possessing Ringo, and items from worlds beyond even Puyos and Tetris gets littered throughout everywhere in both worlds of Puyos and Tetris.
Feli miraculously survived, moving along and try to recover herself as fast as possible. She received nightmares ever since, and worse of all: many of it came true in the process, such as Feli finding the gun the first day she regained the ability to walk, which was five days after the beatdown.
Back to the present, in turns out that any nightmares Feli received for the past 10 days, ever since her near-death against Lemres, would ultimately come true.
"That's the story." Feli concluded.
Everyone else hearing that is shocked over and over at the same time at the end.
"No... my idol... becoming insane..." Klug is totally horrified. "What... the... fuck!!!"
All else is even more shocked at the obscenity Klug just spouted. It even scared Lidelle.
"What's going on?" Raffina feared it out. "This is impossible, yet ridiculously true!"
"Yes, and the worst part is Lemres saying that Ecolo must possess that apple girl." Feli responded. "And guess what? That creature possessing her is the first ever nightmare I got."
"No... Ringo... No..." Amitie sobs.
"Also, I realized that Miss Marle and Mister Squares is missing." Accord noted. "Can you know what happened to them?"
"Uh, they all disappeared." Sig affirmed.
"Oh, that's another nightmare I got to have come true." Feli confirmed. "They were kidnapped by someone I feels like we must confront, and that someone isn't from any worlds we ever knew of before."
"No, Marle and Squares got..." Amitie is shocked.
Suddenly, Starship Tetra crashed into the playground Feli was in. Everyone rushed towards it.
The crew of Tetra leave the ship, safe but shocked. Ex as well, and...
"Mr. Helghast, I'm sorry for crash-landing the ship so suddenly..." It's Ai, whining the hell out of it for the ship crashing down.
"Look! It's the Tetra crew!" Amitie spotted them all. "But..."
Everyone approached the crew and a Helghan. And God of Wars, Kratos, and his current son, Atreus. While the crew and Ex are welcoming, the guest are gazing... well... very dangerous-looking (less so for Atreus).
"Th-th-th-... they are not... friendly!" Amitie then screamed.
"Sorry, Amitie, but they're from some rather violent worlds, with somewhat violent backstories." Tee explained. "That's why they look hostile."
"But don't worry, they're helping us." Tee reassured.
"Nice to meet you, and nice hat you've got." Atreus noted Amitie.
"Thanks..." Amitie is then relieved.
Ex coughs blood again, which is noticed by the Primp side. Ex explained his confrontation to Argimed, and told all about the dread's death.
"That apple girl possessed by Ecolo?" Feli noticed. "That's suspicious..."
"Why?" Tee asked.
The Primp side explained everything that happened for the past 10 days, starting with Ringo's disappearance and Feli's near-death. They also told that they were all locked out of Suzuran no matter what ever since Ringo disappeared.
And that shook the crew.
"Pi-pi-pi-piiiii..." ("Uh oh, that's peculiarly suspicious..." O, Tee's reporting partner, complained.
"Oh no... Ringo being possessed by Ecolo?" Tee realized.
Feli tells Tee about the nightmares she had ever since she nearly died.
"Could it be... that the nightmares are coming true?" Ess heard it.
And so... flashback:
"Thanks for saving me. But how?" Ex responded.
"Portal Device!" Jay took out the Portal Device, which casted a rift to Ex which warped him to SS Tetra.
"C'mon, it's mine!" Elle snatched the Portal Device.
"It's Mr. Jones' gift to us all!" Jay complained.
A portal to Suzuran appeared... or so it appears. Tetra went straight to it, but...
"Collision! That's collision!" Ai realized upon touching the 'portal'... "We collided with a collosal garbage Puyo!"
"Ridiculous! I thought you're better at this!" Kratos complained.
"No! It's... Phantom Ruby!" Ex corrected.
"What!?" Everyone else is shocked.
Indeed, SS Tetra ended up getting damaged from the garbage Puyo coated with the power of the Phantom Ruby, making it looks like Suzuran is available to land when in fact, its universe is utterly flooded with Puyos.
It was Argimed who casted the illusion. And the magical girl in Anti-Life praises hin for that, as she's impressed.
-*flashback ends*
"And that's also how we ended up here just now." Tee concluded.
"Suzuran must be... Puyo-infested then, actually." Ai responded.
"Otherwise, how do we get to Suzuran?" Ess smugly questioned.
"That's Ringo's homeworld..." Amitie realized. "Which means..." *sobs*
"What? What's wrong?" Tee do care.
"Oh dear..." Amitie sobs. "Ringo... She's..."
"I have a feeling that... an apple has been poisoned by the fabric of space-time." Feli concurred.
"She's been possessed..." Amitie sobs. "Ecolo... he... possessed her..."
Amitie starts crying, like a crybaby, per her ditz. "Oh no..."/"ばたんきゅー..." *crying*
Amitie cry surprised all. Ex in particular is shocked, as it's was established in Argimed incident which he learned from the dreaded.
Cross-trivia: Possessed Ringo is Ringo possessed by Ecolo. She's got a magical girl outfit based on her (and incidentally, her transformations during the Dark Arle incident) but with thorn (Poison Ringo much? Oh well...), and the hair clip dons Ecolo. Her eyes is just like the case of Dark Arle: mostly dull. The apple she holds sometimes turn into a black hole. Otherwise, she's literally identical looking.
Her attitude reminds us of both Dark Arle and Poison Ringo, but is actually a combination of Ringo's very mind (that is able to remember Ecolo, unlike almost all others) and Ecolo's nature. Mysterious, and very dangerous, and that's because the opposite in this case has attracted. Regardless, you better not be fooled. Her voice is as expected from a fully successful possession: basically Ecolo imitating Ringo, leading to the latter with former's tone.
Possessed Ringo can be described as the fusion of Ringo Andou and Ecolo, obviously using darker versions of the former's spell as well as many of the latter's abilities. Because of both their natures (for powers) and their minds (for themselves), Possessed Ringo is far more powerful and thus far more dangerous than either of the two components combined. And due to Ringo's curiosity and Ecolo's nature, the powers proves even now dangerous, potentially even competing with and against Marle (a humanoid partial incarnation of the Will of the Worlds) and Squares (the true Dimensional Parasite) put together!
"It's complicated." Feli then tells the crew about how Lemres beat her up, and what he said during that.
Ex instantly realized something's wrong, while Amitie kept crying.
"He already..." Tee heard it.
"Ecolo? Why did he..." Ex deep thought.
Sig noticed the crack in the sky has warped, and is going to open up, revealing something... huge.
"Ringo... I'm sorry..." Amitie is totally depressed by now. Even the Puyo cap is crying.
"Look out." Sig said.
The crack in the sky opened, revealing the Last Reality's mothership.
"Look! It's the mothership from the Last Reality!" And Kratos spotted it. "Everyone, we must escape!"
Jay and Elle looked at the Portal Device they tried to take. Suddenly, they got an idea.
"Portal Device!" The twins shouted.
Zed, the robot fathering Ess, took the Portal Device, and tells everyone: "This device can create a programmable rift to take anything into other realities. We're going to use it."
The mothership is falling down to Primp Town.
The crew activated the device, and thrusted it into the ground. "Primp Town, teleport!"
The entire Primp Town is thusly rifted out of the way, leaving a crater that is from below. The mothership falls straight to that, technically occupying the crater and destroying anything not teleported out in the way.
Meanwhile, in the center of Apollo... and after a load of attacks...
"Take this!" Scaramouche the wanderer went for the core.
"Urgh!" And the Zerobreaker is knocked down.
"Finally!" While Ma saves a spell. "Viola, take it down!"
Viola diced out the faceplate just before she detransformed again, and summoned Cheshire to attack the body inside.
-*detransforms* "Wooooo!!!" Viola falls down, and is caught by the wanderer.
This gave time for the Battle Bus of Shinra, the Dragonturtle MK. II, to enter the planar cave. The MK. II is crewed by Shinra and Ouma and the Oros Phlox, with Chizuru Urashima piloting.
"Here we go!" Dokugozu and Dokumezu yelled.
"Shut up, douchebags." Due Flabellum refuted.
"Watch out!" Reiji warned Chizuru.
Yes, a Reality Wave is cast in both, as a result of the fighting between Zero Point and Zero Point. It pushed the Dragonturtle, and turned Ma and the wanderer back to their current bodies.
"I'm back to normal." The wanderer noticed. "You too, Mem Aleph. This is... weird."
Cheshire is spit out, and turns back to the katana for Viola. The Zerobreaker then recovered, the core body completely healed.
"Damn... the core's all healed!" Viola is frustrated.
"Pathetic flatworms!" Zerobreaker got up.
"Shit!" System No. XX noticed.
System No. XX contacted with the powers of the Night City, and taking that to activate Sandevistan herself. Then, System looked around, and found the Zerobreaker glitching like cyberpsycho. The images of all the incarnations the Zerobreaker took form of appears in the mech's head.
-*deactivates Sandevistan* "She's the cyberpsycho rift-cast reborn!" System revealed to all the rest here.
"Oh well... No wonder how-" The wanderer smirked.
"Good riddance, cruel reality!" Zerobreaker went up the near the upper rift, near the center which Apollo tendril go through.
The Zerobreaker charged, which will lead to an equivalent to Setsuna Shoumetsu. System scanned the hell out of it, and warned everyone on Apollo... (okay, there's only four right now, so)
The forged has sabotaged the tendril, ripping the rift wide open and put the charge from energy of the Terror Tree into a massive electric ball in mad blue and purple shine, and dark lightning throughout. She has an extra evil laugh, the same one System dreaded to listen back in the that incident.
"No!!!" The alternative Zero Point reactively mangled, shaking the dual island and freeing Asteria.
The real Zero Point of ours falls back into underground, and the newer island stabilized.
"Yes! The island's freed!" The Loopers there celebrated.
"Exactly 40 seconds, and now half minute gone." System told all. "10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Warp!"
"Your true god reawakens!" Zerobreaker fully charged, throws the ball.
"Portal Device!" A Portal Device is thrown from the Dragonturtle MK. II into the mangled Zero Point, and the vehicle passed it.
The massive electric ball approaches, and the four gets glitched in place, as a measure to catch them and prevent them from running away. However, four cyan-purple Puyos appeared together, then connected and popped.
And so, all four are rifted out of the way, just right before the ball lands the center and remotely overpower the Zero Point. Then, the electric ball, stand-in for Setsuna Shoumetsu, strikes the absolute epicenter, destroy that Zero Point, and exploding the dual island. Echoes of those in that Zero - the alternate Jones and entire Team Nexus - screamed upon the explosion, gets heard by the Loopers at Asteria. The explosion is so hard, everything from it got vaporized and pulsed into a spherical Reality Wave engulfing the newer island.
Later, in the night...
"You're... the Cross-dimensional Observation System... No. XX?" Tee spotted the System, the Keystone girl as the crew referred her as.
"Ugh... You... saved us?" The wanderer woke up.
"Welcome to Primp Town!" Accord greeted all.
"What's this?" Ma looked around. "Never really seen that in person before."
"Kratos? What're you doing here?" System spotted Kratos.
The four warriors ended up at the now floating Primp Town, forced out of the world because of an Portal Device. The five students of the magic school and the crew of Starship Tetra then greeted them.
