Opening File: Infraggable Krunk Turbo Mode
The Infraggable Krunk was born when the unborn child of a scientist was exposed to large amounts of cosmic radiation that mutated the child's body, DNA and cellular structure, actually saving him from dying with his mother. Krunk was born in the aftermath of the accident, wandering the world for some time but grew extraordinary fast. In a few months he was already the size of a full grown man but retained the mentality and emotions of an infant.
During his travels he would come in contact with few villages that he fled in in fear when the people thought he was a monster and fled from the Grimm that would attack him. Despite the dangers of the Grimm Krunk possessed immense durability, allowing him to shrug off any attempts to physically harm him. It wasn't long before his instincts for survival caused him to fight back, easily killing the Grimm that attacked him no matter the size or strength. He learned through constant fighting how to use his strength to survive.
By this point his behavior was much like a child left on the street, forced to learn how to survive at a very young age. He wouldn't know or understand who or what he was…Until he was found by Major Glory. The hero recognized him, not as a monster but as someone lost, confused and alone and thus offered him his hand in friendship and a chance to have a home. The infant titan was confused but felt he could trust the hero and agreed.
From that point the hero known as the Infraggable Krunk was born.
He learned how to read but could not write because his hands were too large and strong for any pen or pencil to hold. The Justice Friends would discover that Krunk was immeasurably strong and just as durable, easily surpassing even Major Glory in strength. Krunk learned how to speak, right from wrong and in time would help the Justice Friends protect the world from evil such as the Grimm and super villains.
However one day Krunk would show his true potential that would both astonish and terrify anyone who witnessed it.
The Justice Friends had been called to save village that was being overwhelmed by Grimm. When they arrived, Krunk encountered a Grimm Dragon that knocked him aside and prepared to devour a little girl. It was there, in that very instant that Krunk would reveal the full potential of his limitless power, provoked in anger by seeing the Grimm attempting to kill a child. He released large amounts of violet energy within his body that momentarily stunned anyone nearby before he easily destroyed the Grimm Dragon.
Later testing revealed that the cosmic energy that created Krunk, labelled Turbo Energy by someone in the scientific community granted Krunk virtually unlimited strength and power and it was all triggered by his emotional state. The emotions he felt to save the girl was a form of righteous fury while other times simply anger or even happiness allow him to grow in strength. The Justice Friends have done their best to teach him how to control his strength, along with his continued education and have taught him to hold off on releasing his Turbo Form unless in dire emergencies.
It was feared that if Krunk loses control of this Turbo Form it could lead to the destruction of the Earth.

As the people of New Berk were having their celebration it was also used as a rest for the team, taking the time to think of a plan. Conner took the moment for some bit of fun to test their skills using arm wrestling and some of the inhabitants were interested to see what they were made of. On a table was Conner gripping firmly to his opponent's wrist as did his opponent for when they began arm wrestling in a test of strength. Little do they know what was Conner being the clone of one of the greatest superheroes of his world, Superman.
He sat with a firm grin as the man he was facing was using everything he had to bring his arm down while everyone cheered for either one of them. The only ones who were silent were Ross, North and Artemis who couldn't help but grin since knowing her teammate's superhuman strength.
Conner's arm was beginning to budge and he still had a confident look but didn't want to make it too easy.
"Come on, Superboy just finish it already." Artemis told him.
"Eh, sure." With that he flipped it to the other end and threw the man off his chair, startling almost the entire lot watching until the man got up to his feet.
"By Thor, that's some arm you got there lad!" He laughed and accepted defeat while others cheered came from the crowd.
"Damn, he could be as strong as North." Erika gave a comment, watching from their table and drank her mug.
Ross agreed and can see he's gained some attention to some women, but so far the hero said he already has a girlfriend back home but that didn't stop them from trying. "Yeah, seems they can least handle themselves against foes in this world, but would need to be careful without having aura."
The young huntress nodded. "Luckily I got her bow upgraded so she can give it a test. They be in for as a surprise to see mine and Erika's semblance."
The two came back to the table to discuss their plans. "Seems you made some new friends huh." Yara said after taking a bite of her meal.
"No doubt about it. Crazy but interesting place here, Erika." Conner chuckled.
Erika smiled at them for not being shocked or driven crazy by the wild festivities of her home. "Well that's how things go around here. Many people bond with dragons for the task of being riders to protect the archipelago against pirates, intruders or Grimm for that matter. My father will be calling for every chief in the coalition to share the news."
"Yeah and I can easily picture how they'll react." Yara said as everyone agreed with her. "But next time we bring ear plugs in case. Hate to imagine how he'd react with you and-ow!" She was cut off from her sentence when she felt a foot stomp on hers, noticing the red haired Berkian giving her a look she took the message and dropped it.
"So no doubt this new Thor and a Valkyrie warrior will be meeting us to the island you mentioned. Said to be home of a creature which turned out to be this chief of yours. But is there anything about that place this Van Rook be after then just dragon hunting?" Artemis asked her to maybe know anything all for clues or relics left behind.
"None that I can think of. Everything was destroyed or removed after the evacuation to ensure no secrets left on the island." Erika Told her. "No one has set foot on the Isle for a long time. Rumors form sailors and riders alike that anyone who sets foot on that island is never heard from again. Barley a handful made it out and spoke of a monster."
"Now we know it's true and hopefully end the torment." North added.
"Whatever he's after in old Berk for no reason can be good." Erika replied, sighed and wished she could've contacted Doyle again to know but it'd be too much of a risk. If he knew what it was she would've been told already.
"From what you told us about the things going on, it can't be good. Especially about this Satyra." Conner mentioned as they spent most of the trip knowing about this world as they can, especially about the Fallen and Satyra, who they just found out could be some ancient cult plotting to bring back Kur to rule again; by manipulating the hate the Faunus and Mobians have against humans. A sound strategy to make both sides turn against each other and make things easier for them. The only ones who have the answers so far be the Saturdays and Secret Scientists who hold the knowledge to prevent his return.
Both heroes had a thought that when they return home, the Justice League will need to be prepared if the Fallen or other villains in this world would try to invade their dimension.
"We'll worry about them and Argost after we stop Van Rook and Bertha." Ross said. "We can't be everywhere at once so we do what we can to do our part."
Everyone agreed with him by nodding.
"Least this time we don't have to worry about those damn robots or that crazy robot assassin for now. But these Grimm, not sure which I prefer." Artemis said. She turned to North to ask about that piece of armor he bought. "So what's with that thing you bought earlier?"
"Yeah, been thinking about that just then. Not like you need any armor with your aura and martial arts." Yara added.
North gave a small smile at them and held it up to them. "You'll be surprised for what this thing can do. I sent a message to Jade Academy to confirm my suspicions."
The team now getting an idea what he meant if it had something to do with the Jade Academy, now more curious about the artefact he bought.
Yara smiled excitedly. "Really? Ok, now I wanna try it besides if it's what I think it is, I call dibs."
Before she could reach out for it, North stopped her with his hand out front. "Right now let's just rest up for the morning, especially not in a crowed area."
"Aww, fine."
Erika chuckled and patted her on the back.
"Wait, Jade Academy?" Both heroes turned to Conner who spoke up.
Team REYN looked at them, having been briefed of where they wound up in and didn't ask about it recently. "Yeah, didn't you say something about being transported there?" Ross asked them.
Artemis spoke up when he asked them. "Yeah, after being attacked by some monster in the woods we found ourselves in the temple by a guy named Monk Guan. You know him?"
The ape Mobian smiled at her. "Very much so, Artemis. In fact I was a student once when I was young and Monk Guan was my mentor."
"That could explain about your skills and the high jump." Conner brought up and maybe something to do with that staff of his.
"Actually that I learnt from a tribe on the way." North said. "But that be for another time."
"Yeah, let's hope our friends are doing ok. I wonder how Rossweisse and that Bravo kid be doing handling the hammer?" Ross wondered.
Erika sighed and responded. "Let's hope that when we get back to introduce him, he be on his best behavior. Gods help to help him to be a gentleman to the ladies." She was still shocked of his first impression on Brunnhilde.
"I always thought that Amethyst girl was funny when she told us what happened. Especially how she said he screamed like a like a little girl." The blue haired girl snickered as she remembered when she spoke to the Gem before they left while looking through her tablet for something, but so far that comment didn't make Erika feel better. "Hey, I found a footage of that girl; they say she's named... Dani…spectral? No, no wait-"
"Wait back up. Did you say Dani?" Conner asked as he and Artemis looked at her.
"She wouldn't have by chance black and white hair and fires green beams of energy." Artemis described.
This surprised the hunters by how they knew this new hero. "Yeah, that's right. Here's footage from someone watching the battle of the Golden Castle. She's got a bit of fame to her now with even a couple of people online in Japan calling her…Dani Phantom."

"Are you telling me that the Racing Drones, created by the Accelerons that they reprogrammed into a fighting force, decimated bases and colonies; loyal and rebel alike to harvest our gems, not to mention have not been seen or heard from in thousands of years, are on this planet?" Peridot questioned the Crystal Gems and Major Glory present along with their mayor.
"That's exactly correct. They've been hiding on this planet beneath us all this time." Garnet responded in a neutral tone, even she couldn't believe it herself until they revealed the remains of a drone Team REYN found some time ago.
"Oh come on! Finding out that life on this world still thriving and also the Grimm is one thing but you expect me to buy this?" Peridot questioned them.
"I have to agree with Peridot, how do we know this isn't some trick?" Connie asked.
Major Glory spoke up. "Young lady, this place was ambushed and taken by surprise when someone hacked into one of your ships we found and allowed a small force of machines to emerge beneath our base."
"Also we figured you wouldn't believe us so we have proof of one that you might recognize." Callie said and opened the door to lead them to the lab. "Try not to freak out; according to the Crystal Gems your people had a nasty experience with them."
Peridot scoffed and waved her 'hands' in a dismissive gesture. She smiles confidently to the cat Mobian. "Please, I am a high ranked Gem in the Yellow Diamond's court; I hardly think something like this could ever…. Ever…. "
Her body froze and shaken, quivering and eyes opened wide as plates. What they revealed to her in the lab room scared her to the core of her Gem.
"I-Impossible! That can't be." Connie saw what they revealed and couldn't believe it, remembering seeing something similar from the historical archives she read in the Great Rebellion.
It was a Racing Drone! Or half of it with its legs and half a left arm missing was strapped to the table with tools and parts.
Peridot suddenly yelled and screamed in fear, fell on her butt and crawled back to cower behind them. "NO WAY! NO WAY! KEEP THAT THING AWAY!"
"Cool it, will ya? It's scrapped." Amethyst said and she was glad to not seen them when she came out of her hole after hearing what these robots could do.
She was not afraid like the others but didn't want to come across one if possible. She gave some demonstration by giving it a light punch and no response from it. "See? The tin can is broken."
The Homeworld Gem wasn't so sure, having heard about what they do. She thought the Accelerons deactivated them when they started turning against their masters but they somehow survived.
Something Connie remembered about what she said earlier before the bounty hunters attacked them. "Wait a minute. Peridot, they said it access to the Gem ship left by the Rubies, right?"
"Yeah, stupid Rubies left us on this forsaken rock." Peridot muttered and swore she would make them regret it if she ever ran into them. "Why?"
Connie was having a thought. "If these Racing Drones have somehow accessed to the ship, the only way to have done it is by having tech from a Gem base."
"That's likely possible, any way they could've found something like that?" Callie questioned her but also concerned about the Cluster and how to deal with it.
Peridot hummed and started to ponder. "The only way they have such resources is by..." She then remembered something. "The Prime Kindergarten!"
"Huh?" Amethyst and Garnet were puzzled.
What happened in the Kindergarten?
"The damage, all the missing injectors! How could I have not seen! I thought it was you Crystal Gems. How had I not realized it?"
Amethyst gasped upon finding out about it and she grabbed the green Gem by the shoulders to find out. "You saying the Kindergarten is gone?"
"So you didn't do it?" Connie figured it couldn't have been them.
Garnet shook her head. "No, none of us have been there. We were split up at the time and have been here."
Peridot pushed Amethyst off. "Get off! When I got there, everything but the lab was a wreck, all the injectors destroyed, any that still function were perhaps taken and lots of debris."
Hearing this and everything about her home made Amethyst grind her teeth in anger. "Garnet, if I find out my hole is ruined, I'll smash those drones!"
"No, Amethyst. We need to protect Steven and Pearl will stand against it. Not when the Drones are now more dangerous than ever."
Peridot groaned upon hearing this, what more could she have done to deserve being stuck on possibly one of the most dangerous planets in the galaxy.

"Valhallen, Krunk, if you can hear us we're about to enter the Special Zone. Don't know how we are going to get out but we'll think of something."
Valhallen peeked out of the corner of the building he and Krunk were hiding behind, watching as the Gem enforcers continued their search for them. "Copy that, Nier. Good luck."
Things were going crazy now but that was nothing unusual for a Justice Friend.
In fact, you can always expecting the plan to fall apart and have to improvise, especially while on the run.
"Looks like it's just you and me, Krunk. And we have to keep those Gems on our tail long enough for the guys to get out." Valhallen said to his large purple skinned friend.
"Krunk ready for more distracting." Krunk said with a small smile.
"The question is how far do we go? Do we want to just keep it low or do we want those Diamonds back on our trail?" Valhallen wondered for a second.
He and Krunk just barely walked away from fighting Yellow Diamond, the very same Diamond who was his brother Thor's greatest rival during the Gem invasion of Earth. One on two they would be a match but if they faced two Diamonds or all three then it anyone's guess who the winner would be. However if any distractions they made wasn't big enough the Diamonds would probably catch on to their plans and stop the others from escaping the Zone. The whole point coming here was to rescue the Elementals and Valhallen had no intention of failing this mission.
"Krunk…Let's make some noise."

Yellow Diamond raised her hand, having restored the planetary defense system, the communications network and navigation network.
Now it was time to shut down the virus, Swayzak.
"Pearl, most of the systems are back online. Get in touch with any and high ranked Gems you can find and coordinate them into counter attacking against the invaders." Yellow Diamond instructed her Pearl.
"At once, my Diamond."
"In the meantime I will finish off that virus." Yellow Diamond clenched a fist. "It will suffer like no other for this outrage."
"We shall see about that, Diamond!"
Yellow Diamond narrowed her eyes, watching as the profile of Swayzak appeared on the screens again. "You…"
"You may have saved Homeworld but I've thrown the entire Gem Empire into chaos. Diamond or not you cannot stop me! No one can!" Swayzak bellowed.
"Your track record speaks otherwise." Yellow Diamond retorted.
"I am Swayzak, the most powerful entity in this or any universe. There is not a computer system I cannot infiltrate. Entire civilizations have fallen to my power and this one will be no different. I have brought war to your doorstep, Diamond." Swayzak ranted.
Yellow Diamond scoffed. "You call this war? I call it…pest control."
"You won't stop me. I will be prepared this time. You will fall to my superior might." Swayzak growled, his anger rising at the Diamond's disrespect.
Which she was more than happy to continue. "From how easy I have repelled your earlier attempts at control I can only say you are superior in only one aspect."
"And what is that?" Swayzak growled.
"You are better…" Yellow Diamond smirked. "When it comes to dying, very horribly."
Swayzak howled as Yellow Diamond switched off the screen.
"Another victory for you, my Diamond." Yellow Pearl praised, smiling happily at how easily her luminous Diamond put the virus in its place. "That virus could never hope to best you in any contest, digital or verbal."
"The exchange served its purpose." Yellow Diamond smirked as she looked at a nearby Peridot. "Did you locate where the virus is transmitting from?"
"Yes, my Diamond." The Peridot with square shaped hair answered. "Its server is located behind several encryptions but nothing you cannot break through."
"Good." Yellow Diamond placed her hand back on the interface. "Time to end it, once and for all."

"My Diamond, we have a report on the Special Zone Warp Pad."
Blue Diamond's eyes landed on the Agate. "Yes?"
"We have confirmed it was activated and that it transported a group, five specifically to the Special Zone." The Agate reported.
"Five?" Blue Diamond raised an eyebrow. "We were only allowing two organic intruders to the Warp Pad. Unless…" Her eyes widened in realization. "Agate, take over for me here. I am going to the Special Zone. Pearl, with me."
"At once, my Diamond." Blue Pearl complied, quickly following after Blue.
BOOM!
Blue Diamond stopped to look out the dome shaped window surrounding her control room, spotting an explosion near the Homeworld spaceport. "Now what?"
"Reports coming in now…." The Agate quickly said. "…Our drones match the appearance of the two intruders who attacked Yellow Diamond!"
The Asgardian and the hulking purple…thing.
"I will deal with them myself." Blue Diamond declared. "Pearl, lock down Pink's Palace and ensure no one leaves or enters until I return."
"At once, my Diamond."
They couldn't be allowed to cause damage to the spaceport. Yellow would need all the ships they had to successfully rescue their colonies. Since she was still dealing with the virus it was up to Blue Diamond to stop the intruders.
And she would not allow anyone to escape this time.
Xxx
BOOM!
A single note from Valhallen's Mighty Axe was all it took to bring down a Gem fuel tower in a matter of seconds.
"There. You think that got their attention?" Valhallen turned to his partner who lifted up a large piece of the ground and hurled it at another supply depot, causing another explosion on impact.
From above came two Gem Red-Eyes, zeroing on the source of the explosions.
"Krunk think so!" Krunk answered, getting ready to fight.
"Yep. Message received." Valhallen said, playing a note and releasing a sonic blast that sent the two Gem ships spinning. "Let's hope we're causing enough of a ruckus to get their attention."
The answer came in the form of a blue orb that appeared before them, dissolving a second later to reveal Blue Diamond herself.
"So, it is true." Blue Diamond said, narrowing her eyes at the sight of Valhallen. "We have an Asgardian in our midst."
"Blue Diamond, I presume." Valhallen greeted calmly but not disrespectfully.
"You know of me. I suppose that is to be expected." Blue Diamond stepped forward. "Your people were as irritant as they were insolent when we last made contact."
"You didn't exactly come with flowers and manners yourself." Valhallen retorted. "King Odin warned you to leave the Earth alone."
Blue Diamond's eyes narrowed further as she brought a hand to her gemstone, summoning her Rainfall. "I will not waste words with you, Asgardian on what happened during a dark time. I will however speak of you being here, on our world, trespassing and attacking us wherever you go. This is enough for war to be declared again and it will start with the two of you."
Valhallen and Krunk readied themselves. "We'll see how long that lasts."
"Very well." Blue Diamond said before letting out a battle cry and charged straight at the two heroes.
Xxx
When Yellow Diamond reappeared in cyberspace she stood in a cavern like chamber that was colored red and in the center was a honeycomb shaped supercomputer with a beam of orange light shooting into a hole in the ceiling.
No doubt this was the virus's hiding place.
"YOU!"
Yellow Diamond spun around, blocking as slash with her sword and looked into the rage filled fiery eyes of Swayzak. "So this is the place where you have been hiding, virus."
"HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE PAST MY FIREWALLS?!" Swayzak shouted.
"It wasn't very hard. I just needed you to keep running your mouth long enough to track you down." Yellow Diamond smirked. "Now I can finish you off and end your foolish rampage."
"We'll see about that!"
They broke apart and Swayzak summoned several windows, all of which started firing bolts of fiery light at Yellow Diamond who quickly blocked with her Galaxy Storm. She rushed forward, swinging her blade at Swayzak who conjured a shield from one hand and used it to block her sword.
"You have made a big mistake coming here. I have the home field advantage this time!" Swayzak grunted, shoving Yellow Diamond back.
He summoned a giant broadsword and clashed with Yellow Diamond, who grunted slightly as she was pushed back slightly. She jumped, sheathing her sword again and fell into a stand-by position, this time waiting for Swayzak to make the first move. Swayzak roared as fiery beams of light blasted from his eyes, engulfing Yellow Diamond in an explosion upon colliding with her.
"NOW DO YOU SEE! I CANNOT BE STOPPED!" Swayzak cackled. "NO CAN HARM ME HERE!"
However, much to his shock a yellow blur shot out of the dust and slammed into his torso. Swayzak grunted in pain, staggering back while lifting his head to see the cause of the attack. The sword fell back into Yellow Diamond's hand while she held up her scabbard that was projected an energy to protect her from Swayzak's blast.
"Its fools like you that make me actually miss the one warrior who could actually fight me." Yellow Diamond grunted. "This is slowly becoming embarrassing for me to exert any effort at all with a two-bit program like you."
Swayzak's entire form grew bright with orange fury, illuminating his fury at Yellow Diamond's dismissal and humiliation of him.
He would not stand for it.
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Swayzak roared as the supercomputer in the room released bolts of lightning that converged on him.
Yellow Diamond watched as Swayzak started to grow in size, actually eclipsing her in height even though they were in cyberspace and not the real world.
Still it was very rare for a Diamond to encounter a being that could actually look down at her.
Yellow Diamond chuckled. "Now things are getting interesting."
Swayzak tried to stomp her with his now giant foot but Yellow Diamond jumped back, narrowly avoiding the foot. Yellow Diamond glowed for a mere second before returning to normal.
"And what was that?" Swayzak asked mockingly.
"It seems you cannot tell the difference here in cyberspace." Yellow Diamond mused as she smirked at the giant virus. "Oh well, it'll just be an even bigger surprise."
Yellow Diamond held up her Galaxy Storm, channeling her power directly into her blade. Swayzak swiped his sword at her but when Yellow Diamond swung her blade up it released a massive electrical arc that not only knocked the blade away but also pushed Swayzak back a few feet.
"WHAT?!"
"Diamond Battle Mode." Yellow Diamond simply said before going on the attack.
She was a yellow blur, streaking across Swayzak's large form and leaving cuts and gashes all over his body.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Swayzak tried to swat her away but she was too fast for him and it was only a matter of time before she made her way to his head.
"NOW DIE!" Yellow Diamond shouted, plunging her sword into Swayzak's head between his eyes, releasing all of the energy she had stored in her blade.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
With one final scream Swayzak's form cracked, slowly breaking apart and then exploded in a massive pillar of light, breaking down into mere bits of data that vanished a second later.
Yellow Diamond landed on the ground, placing her sword back in its scabbard and turned around, walking away as Swayzak's lair started to collapse.

Transmission Restored
"TOM, the jamming has ceased. Everything affected by Swayzak has been restored." SARA reported.
"That's great. What happened?" TOM asked, sitting down in his chair.
"It looks like someone managed to attack Swayzak at the source of his attacks. Whatever server he was hiding behind has been destroyed."
"And Swayzak?"
"There's no way to tell if he was destroyed for good. We didn't even know if we saw the last of him when you stopped him from crashing the ship." SARA answered.
"So he might have broken apart and whatever was left of him crawled into whatever hole he came out of like last time. Still, he's been stopped for now and we'll be on the lookout for him."
"Agreed."

"Your grand cheesiness, Swayzak's data server has been destroyed."
Limburger sighed, leaning back in his chair. "So the Gems managed to track him down despite yours and Control Freak's efforts to try and prevent that. Who was it?"
"Yellow Diamond herself, your supreme rulerness." Karbunkle reported. "We did not know Diamonds could interact with cyberspace the way she did."
"Another annoying surprise. It's like a pulling an endless supply of rabbits out of a single hat when it comes to those Diamonds." Limburger muttered. "What about Swayzak?"
"As far as I can tell, his core programs remain intact. He has as humans say, gone underground. He is probably hold up somewhere in a dark version of cyberspace where no one, not even I can locate him." Karbunkle answered.
"So he is still alive. Good." Limburger smirked. "We might have use for him in the future, given his apparent ease at crippling the Gem's data network. Unfortunately with his defeat the Gems will now be able to properly organize their counter attack against Psycrow and his goon squad. We'll have to inform him and Sammael of this set back."
"Do you believe we gave his infiltrators the time they needed? If he believes we somehow bungled distracting the Gems long enough he promised to terminate this alliance." Karbunkle pointed out.
"Fortunately our client is rather sharp and reasonable. If it comes down to that we'll just lay the blame on Swayzak for being too overconfident with the Diamonds." Limburger replied. "It certainly wouldn't be our fault for his incompetence."
"A grand plan, your cunningness." Karbunkle praised.
"Yes and we have gained so much already. With Lord Camembert gone a power vacuum will soon fill the Confederation, leaving those left behind with opportunities to fill it. We best hurry though before someone tries to steal my spotlight. Prepare the teleporter to take us back to Plutark." Limburger quickly ordered. "I want us ready to go as soon as I report to Sammael about Swayzak's defeat."
"Do you think he'll suspect anything?" Karbunkle asked.
"I will just let him know that important business has called me back to Plutark and that I will be taking a leave of absence on Earth. It will not harm him or his operations here so he won't have anything to worry about. And when I arrive on Plutark I will seize the throne, take control of our Confederation and I'll see to it that Plutark will rise above all of the other galactic powers, even the Gems." Limburger clenched his fists. "Camembert was a relic, unable to adapt to the present world. A world where if we are not careful we will fall to our enemies, the Stellar Alliance, the Biker Mice and their Resistance on Mars and even the warriors here on Earth. We must grow, build and adapt if we are to take our place as the top rulers of the galaxy."
"Brilliant, your rulerness." Karbunkle praised and bow.
"It is, isn't it?" Limburger chuckled and pointed at Karbunkle. "Now get moving. By the time I am done speaking with Sammael I want the teleport running."
"At once, Lord Limburger."
Limburger leaned back in his chair, smiling as Karbunkle. "Lord Limburger…Has a very nice ring to it."

BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
To say Valhallen and Krunk had their hands full would be an understatement.
The moment she had summoned her weapon Blue Diamond had gone on the offensive, summoning spheres of light that broke into smaller spheres and rained literal fire down on the two Justice Friends. Valhallen projected an energy shield from his guitar to protect him and Krunk from the attack but even then Blue Diamond wasn't letting up. She swung her scythe down, forcing Valhallen to drop the shield and both hastily dodged the scythe that would have surely sliced them to bits. Blue Diamond looked, watching as Krunk leapt at her with a battle cry, aiming his fist at her head.
However Blue Diamond simply spun and batted him away with the blunt end of her Rainfall, sending him crashing into a nearby wall.
"So these are two of the strongest of Earth's warriors." Blue Diamond remarked as she straightened her posture. "Consider me…not impressed."
"Well, we're just getting started." Valhallen replied, firing a blast of lightning from his Mighty Axe.
Blue Diamond spun her scythe, channeling her energy into it as she did and created an energy shield that blocked Valhallen's attack rather easily. "Perhaps it would be better if you surrender now. Consider that you are the first to ever inflict so much damage to Homeworld in all the time our civilization has existed, surrendering I would be willing to make your punishment lighter despite the severity of your crimes."
"Sorry, can't do that. Got people waiting for us back home." Valhallen retorted.
"Very well." Blue Diamond shrank down, entering her Diamond Battle Mode. "Remember, I was considerate enough to offer you the chance."
With that said Blue Diamond rushed forward, moving much faster than before. She swung her scythe, releasing a bright energy wave that blasted both Valhallen and Krunk back. Luckily both Justice Friends landed on their feet and rushed at the matriarch as she pulled her scythe back. Just as they came within striking range she swiped at them but they both jumped over her and unleashed an unending barrage of attacks on her.
Unfortunately Blue Diamond countered and dodged before fighting back, showing great skills until she kicked both back. Both charged again, trying to double team her but Blue Diamond slammed her scythe into the ground, releasing a shockwave of light that sent the Justice Friends flying back, falling on their faces. Valhallen looked up, watching as Blue Diamond conjured several spheres of light that came together into a larger sphere that actually resembled a small moon that started raining bolts of light on them.
"Krunk move!" The Asgardian musician shouted.
They took off, barely dodging the blasts that left dozens of craters in their wake. Blue Diamond conjured another energy blast and fired it Krunk, hitting the jolly purple giant and blasting him through several buildings.
"Krunk!" Valhallen shouted but had no time to check on his friend as Blue Diamond swiped at him, nearly taking his head off.
"Word of advice, never take your eyes off your opponent." Blue Diamond advised, swinging again and forcing Valhallen to jump back.
Valhallen grunted and charged forward, swinging his guitar down on Blue Diamond who countered with her Rainfall, creating another shockwave that knocked the Asgardian skidding back. Valhallen charged again, playing several notes as he swung his guitar. This resulted in a few unexpected combos such as the guitar releasing blasts of fire, wind or lightning that actually caught Blue Diamond off guard even as she blocked or countered. Growing tired of the fight Blue Diamond uppercut Valhallen, knocking him back several feet and charged forward to finish him off.
"You might not be the Asgardian we were expecting but you are skilled in your own right. Worthy of recognition by both me and Yellow." Blue Diamond lifted her scythe. "But it's over now."
She swung her Rainfall viciously at Valhallen who was struggling to block or dodge and with each strike the blade grew close enough to draw blood. He quickly played a note that released a sonic blast, striking Blue Diamond at point blank range and leaving her stunned for an instant. It was enough for Valhallen to deliver a few quick slashes with his guitar before Blue Diamond recovered and quickly counter attacked. She tried to create an energy sphere but Valhallen swung and actually hit it like a baseball, sending right back at Blue Diamond, slamming into her and sent her skidding into a nearby fuel depot that exploded on impact. Valhallen sighed, thinking he got a few spare seconds to check on Krunk.
Only it seemed Blue Diamond had other plans in mind.
Shooting out of the fire Blue Diamond slammed into Valhallen, actually punching him in the face with an aura enhanced fist that actually left the Asgardian seeing stars. She then slammed the staff part or the blunt end of Rainfall into him several times that left the Asgardian stumbling back, feeling each hit and they actually hurt.
Blue Diamond then raised her scythe and swung it down, believing the fight was over…
STOMP!
Suddenly there was a stomping sound, followed by the sound of skin being cut open and blood being drawn.
Valhallen looked up and his eyes widened at what he saw. "Krunk!"
The Infraggable Krunk stood between him and Blue Diamond, the crystalline blade embedded in his shoulder. Krunk stared at Blue Diamond who stared back, looking surprised by what had just happened.
"Krunk…" Valhallen stood up. "You got to move….You'll be killed if you stay."
"Krunk no run…" Krunk slowly raised his hand, grabbing onto Blue Diamond's scythe. "Krunk no leave friend…"
He gripped the scythe and pulled.
"Blue lady try to hurt Blondie…"
He pulled the scythe out of his shoulder, causing purple blood to drip down his body.
"Blondie is Krunk's friend…"
"What is this?" Blue Diamond noticed something strange about the behemoth before her.
While her original form was taller than Krunk he towered over her in Diamond Battle Mode and right now she was watching as his skin started to bulge.
"BLUE LADY NO HURT KRUNK'S FRIEND!" Krunk roared, a purplish blue aura starting to surround him.
Blue Diamond jumped back, watching as the wound on Krunk's shoulder started healing at an astonishing rate. "Impossible!"
That wound should have incapacitated him but he was not only standing but was healing so fast it as if her blade had never touched him at all.
Valhallen knew what was about to happen.
Krunk was going…Turbo.
The Infraggable Krunk, the World's Mightiest Mortal let out a roar as his skin turned red for a second and then became a darker shade of purple. He grew taller and larger, his muscles growing even bigger if that was even possible. The aura around him continued to grow in size and power, causing the ground beneath him to crack and the entire Gem city began to shake. Blue Diamond stepped back, actually feeling…
Afraid?
Yes, she was feeling afraid.
She shouldn't be but there was something about this purple skinned organic that brought the feeling of fear in her like never before.
"SMASH BAD GUYS!" Krunk let out a roar that shook all of Homeworld.
Xxx
"What is happening up there?"
Obsidian looked at the readings. "Detecting large amounts of radiation…Impossible. No organic could ever hope to contain this much power!"
"Energy signature matches nothing we have on all known Gems and it cannot be another Diamond." Strika replied.
"Energy reading is consistent with type labelled Turbo Energy." Obsidian replied. "Logical conclusion: the energy is coming Justice Friends' Infraggable Krunk."
"Such power…" Strika whispered. "It is unlike anything I have ever seen."
"We must alert Gelorum at once."
Xxx
"Can you feel it?"
Sammael's eyes slowly opened. "Yes. You and I both know what this power is…There is only one individual who can unleash this much power."
"That bumbling oaf, Infraggable Krunk. The most dimwitted member of the Justice Friends but at the same time the most powerful." Moloch said, shuddering slightly. "Such power…The one mortal able to rival and even surpass cosmic deities in strength."
"Something must have happened to push him this far. Even if Swayzak has been defeated it seems that the battle is far from over."
Xxx
With one final roar Krunk charged forward, moving so fast Blue Diamond had almost no time to react. He raised his fist and Blue Diamond attempted to block with her scythe…
Bad idea.
The strength of one single punch was enough to send Blue Diamond flying, crashing through dozens of buildings and even flying past the four Diamond palaces. Krunk roared as he jumped after Blue Diamond, leaping off the ground and propelled himself so high into the sky one would think he was actually flying.
"Krunk wait!" Valhallen shouted, chasing after him by using his Mighty Axe as a hover board.
This was really bad.
When Krunk went Turbo he was an unstoppable force of pure strength and power, able to cause earthquakes with one step. That was good against the Grimm and supervillains but it also made Krunk super aggressive to the point that anyone near him was taking their life into the hands just by being in his way!
'This is bad, really bad.' Valhallen thought, racing after Krunk. 'We came here on a rescue mission, not to smash an entire planet.'
Krunk continued jumping after Blue Diamond who had been smashed all the way past the Diamond palaces. On his way to her he landed on top of the giant white statue, colliding with such force he actually knocked it over.
Xxx
White Diamond opened her eyes, revealing a bright white glow. "What's this? Someone who likes knocking things down? Can't have that now, can we?"
Xxx
Just before Krunk could jump after Blue Diamond again the eyes on the white statue opened up, allowing for twin beams of white light to emerge from them and hit Krunk head on, blasting him into the sky.
Valhallen watched as Krunk was sent flying into the sky so high he might actually have been blasted out into space. "Krunk!"
A roar was heard and a purple flared as it fell back down to Homeworld, punching its way through the white beams.
Krunk slammed back down onto the white statue. "White statue sucker punch Krunk! No one sucker punch Krunk!"
He brought his fists together and slammed down onto the statue, crashing through it and he fell inside.
Inside her ship White Diamond watched as Krunk fell towards her, preparing to punch her. "This won't do."
She raised her hand, blocking the fist and the impact resulted in a shockwave that spread across the city. White Diamond didn't move but she seemingly grimaced, actually feeling the punch that caused her arm to shake.
"It seems we have another unruly visitor from Earth." White Diamond remarked, her empty smile returned.
Krunk landed on the ground and looked up at White Diamond, growling like a savage beast.
"A very unruly visitor." White Diamond raised an eyebrow. "To think Blue would allow herself to be defeated by the likes of you."
Krunk roared and lunged forward.
"This will not do."
White Pearl jumped down, landing in front of Krunk and delivered a spinning kick to his face. That did little more than to make Krunk angrier. Reaching into her gemstone White Pearl pulled out two glowing swords, spinning them elegantly and expertly as she faced down the Earth's Mightiest Mortal.
Krunk made the first move, charging straight White Pearl who proceeded to dodge, twisting and spinning as if she was dancing instead of fighting. Krunk was faster but White Pearl was more agile which saved more times than she or rather White Diamond would admit. A beam of light shot from White Pearl's one eye, hitting Krunk head on but his Turbo powered aura shrugged off the blast and he continued his assault. Any slash was healed instantly and Krunk seemed to grow stronger and faster as his attacks came closer and closer to hitting their target. White Pearl of course had no fear for herself.
In fact she felt nothing at all.
All of her movements, her expression as she attacked or dodged, they were all made on behalf of White Diamond herself.
White Diamond shined through all imperfections.
White Diamond made all perfect.
All were White Diamond.
Except White Diamond did not realize she had might have met her match with the Infraggable Krunk.
Krunk's own powers came from his emotions, whether he felt joy, sadness or rage his strength came from every form of emotion. Fortunately when everyone realized the dangers his Turbo Mode presented to the entire world Major Glory had shown Krunk something.
A way to balance his emotion.
"Why are Krunk and Flagman sitting by the river?" Krunk asked, sitting next to Major Glory in front of a river.
"Krunk, I am going to show how I became the hero I am now." Major Glory answered with a soft smile. "A way to help teach you how to control your strength and powers so you won't hurt anyone. Well, at least anyone who is not a bad guy."
"Oh boy!" Krunk clapped his hands happily.
"Krunk, it comes from learning how to focus." Major Glory held up a finger.
"Focus?"
Major Glory nodded. "Every hero, every hunter is born with the potential for greatness and that potential only comes from three important factors: practice, self-control and the most important part: focus."
He held up a flower to Krunk who smiled when he saw it. "Pretty."
"Krunk, if there is a time when you find yourself feeling very hurt or very angry; imagine this flower in your head." Major Glory instructed as he placed the flower in Krunk's hands. "Look it over, focus on its shape, and remember its color and its smell. Put it inside your head, make it part of you and always remember it. A hero's potential starts unrefined and small, much like a seed but with time and patience it can bloom into a beautiful flower."
"Remember flower…"
The major's words echoed in Krunk's mind, bringing him back to the present and he realized he needed to do as the major told him.
"Krunk remembers…" Krunk said, dodging a blast from White Pearl. "Krunk remembers flower!"
"What?" White Diamond asked in confusion.
He felt his control return, allowing him to balance his power and emotions while in Turbo Mode and knew he had to end the fight before he caused more damage.
"Krunk no hurt flower." Krunk spread his arms out. "But Krunk hurt bad guys who stomp on flowers!"
He clapped his hands and released a massive shockwave that collided with White Diamond, smashing her through the wall of her ship, down through her palace and slammed into the surface of Homeworld like a meteor.
That day, even the Diamonds would be warry when tangling with the Infraggable Krunk.
