A Collection Of Other Adventures

Battle! Knight Vs Ignis

Date: December 2nd, 2022

The world of Midgard is at peace again after the sealing of the Dark Lord before he was crushed by Baphomet. This was during an era years after the Demon Lord Morroc was revived and then dealt with. How is this so? The ancient city of Glast Heim is no longer sealed away and Baphomet is done with world domination. He tried to manipulate the adventurer who went from novice to reborn hero early on their adventure but never did anything to further his plans for conquest by the time the Dark Lord began to revive himself. It has been months if not a whole year since the Dark Lord was supposedly vanquished for good. On a nice sunny day in Prontera, the main heroes who stopped the Dark Lord and newly engaged or wedded, Roan and Yufa, just visited the graves of their friends who died in Glast Heim during the final battle. Keough, Iruga, and Takius. They were with Judia, a hunter and her and Iruga's infant son along with Maya, a merchant and her friend Poi Poi, a poring. Porings are adorable pink creatures made of a jelly like substance. In the wild, they pose no threat unless you attack them first and attract a lot of them or are just a beginner. Roan got Yufa to get going before Maya asked them if they were okay with having some new teammates in their party. Roan and Yufa welcomed the two new teammates, a swordsman and acolyte with open arms: "My name's Roan. I'm a crusader. Welcome aboard." "I'm Yufa, the priestess. Nice to meet you." It continued from there. "Well Roan, where do you want to go now?" "Anywhere's fine. How about you decide?" "Alright then. Hmm, let me see."

What none of adventurers knew was what was about to happen. It was going to be nasty. Yufa never got to decide where to go next. A previously thought to be erased threat from the Cyberse, created during The Lost Incident aka the Hanoi Project would begin causing trouble. Windy and Lightning escape Link VRAINS through an interdimensional portal moments before that conversation happened and end up in Prontera. Here's how they pulled it off. "Finally. After months of careful planning and construction, it is complete." "Yes yes but are we going to start it up or not? Revenge takes too longer!" "Patience, Windy. It just needs to be turned on and then we're good to proceed with my plan. We'll gain from absorbing everything we destroy as if it were all data. *starts up the portal* There we go, just a few more moments now. *it is opened* There we go, let's go in." "Now now now don't forget that Playmaker and his friends will be onto us as soon as you know it!" "You don't have to remind me. I'm an Ignis after all as are you. Come, we have much to destroy." They hop into the portal. Upon arriving in Prontera, Lightning says: "Remember Windy, we must destroy all the humans before they destroy us and get our revenge. We will start with this technologically inferior world. Humans don't understand us and will do anything to destroy us so we must destroy them first."

"Yeah yeah, I know that and it's going to be a show! Now when can I get my revenge?" "Soon Windy, soon. Be patient, my friend." They overhear the aforementioned adventurers and head to them quietly. After waiting for the right moment, Lightning gets their attention and says while creating a data storm: "You humans aren't going anywhere. Your journey along with this whole world of yours ends here. I want to make those other humans pay but this will do for now. I can wait forever to get what we want. After this, we'll be closer to destroying Playmaker and his friends." *Meanwhile with Spectre and Revolver, Link VRAINS, observing Go and Playmaker's duel* "Master Revolver, I apologize for intruding on your watching of the match but we have received word that the Wind and Light Ignis have successfully finished their portal and escaped to an unknown dimension. But that's not all, it seems the Link VRAINS has some unexpected new users without user IDs. Should I take care of them myself? What do you want to do?" "We aren't exactly in the best position to pursue those 2 right now. Let's work together to find these new users after this duel is finished. But first, I will contact the BRAINS headquarters about this personally. They can inform individuals and groups who have a better shot at stopping them before they cause any damage. There's only so much we can do, after all."

Several minutes later, Miitopia BRAINS* "What do you mean Windy and Lightning have escaped into an unknown dimension? This is bad. We are in the middle of an oncoming war. Us against tyrants and their brainwashed pawns. I won't let those two do whatever they want. I do know what unknown dimension they escaped to. This is going to be messy. And to top it all off, Im also attending Midwest Furfest! Gah! I came here after seeing my friend Status play a Bop It game as part of an anti-talent show!" "It's such a causation to want to take a nap. The war hasn't started yet but it could begin at any moment. Do you really want to go? I can tell you want to but we still have so much to deal with like getting the remaining missing number cards. And you also want to enjoy think about MFF." "Decisions decisions. Forget about MFF, this is far more pressing than even supporting the charity they're hosting this year. This is hard. Why don't I just go there alone? That way, there will be more of us to defend the people here." "Are you sure you can handle it on your own, Adam?" "Yes, there are plenty of competent and powerful adventurers and others where they went. I insist on doing it alone and will be leaving right now. All of my stuff is good to go already. This is going to be a colossal pain to deal with. Windy and Lightning are very powerful. They better not start any data storms. I will try to keep you posted. At least this will go up as a story chapter online in my world. So if I forget, you can just read that. Fuck Novelww, that copyright infringing piece of crap website that posts stories from Wattpad without permission. It's utter bullcrap." "I understand. I concur. Fuck Novelww. I'll tell the others for you before I do some inventing. I'm developing a new kind of BRAINS Blaster that doesn't disintegrate anything it touches. If we're pushed to the edge, we'll use them to decimate the Nazis." "Doesn't disintegrate anything? How very straight to the point. I'm amused. Now then, I must get going. See ya later. And don't worry, my duel disk is equipped and my sword is good to go. I'm taking one of the current model blasters. Might need it. Additionally, I even made sure to bring a couple sphere fields with me. I keep forgetting to bring them. This'll make sure those two can't destroy anything or escape when I get in their way."

"Until then! Now to put on extra safety gear.. The last time I worked on my gadgets, I fell asleep and almost gave myself third degree burns." We laugh together before I teleport to Prontera or even more specifically, the location I know where who I'm looking for are. I made sure to travel to the exact moment the timeline split between not having Windy and Lightning in it and having them. They don't see me just yet but I will make myself known and inflict some pain on them in time. I stay silent and watch from the shadows while wearing my Swiftdrawer outfit until I hear Lightning speak to them. I only briefly break my silence to get ready to throw a sphere field. Damn it, there's already a data storm. How is nothing getting blown away? Before I can figure that out, I hear Judia reply: "I don't know who y'all are talking about but you won't stop us without a fight! Your little wind won't blow us away!" Roan replies: "Judia, you have to focus on your baby! Everyone, get behind me, I'll protect all of you! It is my duty as a crusader to protect everyone who needs help." Lightning is a small humanoid with a lemon yellow body, yellow-orange diamond markings, oval shaped head with 2 strands of hair going in opposite directions, and neon green eyes. He lightly chuckles as the data storm intensifies: "You humans are all the same, so foolish and emotional. Oh well, you'll be dead soon enough." Yufa retorts: "You don't even know that! Holy Light!" It does no damage.

That's when I show myself by running into the scene before Roan can use his massive shield to protect the others: "Your protection won't be necessary, hero of Midgard. And attacks such as Holy Light do nothing against an Ignis. Y'all must be lucky. Nothing is blowing away. The structural integrity around here is more impressive than expected. *cracks knuckles* Ignis, so what if we're foolish and emotional? Sometimes, one makes the right decisions because of their emotions. But enough talk. I can take you on myself and stop your storm, Lightning! *draws my sword* Damn you Ignis! You have no care for honoring those who have passed. I will stop this data storm myself. Watch this! Continuous Extremely Risky Spin Slash: 8! That should generate enough force to cancel it out." In seconds, my attacks clash with the data storm and it all gets cancelled out with no damage done to the cemetery we're all in: "Why must you intervene in my business? I know you, aren't you the one they call Swiftdrawer?" I pull out a sphere field and toss it into the air: "I don't have time to chat with you, you're wanting to unleash pain onto people who avoid selfishly inflicting pain onto others. I won't let you. My attacks were just a mere simple trick compared to what I can really do." In seconds, the sphere field begins to rapidly expand. Maya yells: "What is that? Let's get out of here! Come on, Poi Poi!" But her acceleration wasn't enough to get away and the others stood in place even as Judie's child started crying loudly. It took all of this for the infant to start crying? Amazing.

Yufa made sure to keep the swordsman and acolyte from running too by comforting them: "Don't worry you two, everything's going to be alright. Don't be afraid." Her appearance is as follows: dark purple/black hair, brown eyes, pale skin, a necklace of some kind related to being a priestess, and a long dress with long sleeves like priestess outfit with golden yellow lining and a purple color for the upper part of it and a more red color for much of the bottom half. The sphere field finishes expanding into its full size. To my displeasure, the adventurers end up inside it as well as myself, Lightning, and Windy: "Damn it again. We have a swordsman, an acolyte, a crusader, a priestess, an infant, a poring, a merchant, and a hunter in the same party that were targeted by you two! Now because of you, they're in here with us. You didnt let me give a warning in advance. There's no getting out of here and that means chaos, more than I wanted. I've tried to get out of one of these myself before a duel finished but it was no use. *activates duel disk after sheathing my sword* You can't decline my challenge, Lightning! I challenge you to a Master Duel!" Roan is a fair skinned red haired and brown eyed crusader with quite the grand outfit. One of the main features is the giant and long purple cape he's got on. The outfit itself is detailed.

There's golden yellow shoulder and upper leg pads, a really long cloth thing that extends from his chest down to near his legs with a red cross and white background, pale yellow chest pads, blue ish robe shirt, silver armor boots and leggings, and a smaller cross between his shoulders. He also has his massive shield which has a golden cross on it and a maroon background I think. Finally, his sword. It's a black demonic sword that was used to imprison the Witch Of Comodo. He demands: "Who are you and what's going on? Why are you helping us?" "I thought you would appreciate the help more. Oh well. There's no time for this right now but I will give you one piece of information to get you started. I'm a knight. That should help you understand me. And you might learn some more because duelists sort their differences through their cards in duels. Just an FYI btw, it would be best if you helped calm the kids down more. This battle is going to be intense. *he nods* Now then, let's duel, Lightning!" "It seems I have no choice. Very well. Prepare to lose everything, human. You stand no chance against me." He activates his duel disk and we draw our starting hands. "Let's duel!" "You can go first if you want. I challenged you after all." "I'd rather let you go first. Going second is more than fine with me." "We sure do think alike. I would have gone second myself." "Is that so. In that case, I must have underestimated you just a little bit."

"Wow, thanks. My turn, let's begin the start of a creative masterpiece! The world of art is a complicated and misunderstood one. There's always something new that could rock it permanently. Let me show you my friends who bring art to a whole new level! I design the path towards a difficult and risky fight! I set a imaginative Pendulum scale with scale 4 Musical Artist Bongo and scale 13 Ice Carving Artist Icle! I can summon comrades with levels between 4 and 11 at the same instant in time! It'll be like importing multiple images at once into a design project! The Pendulum will now swing with paint dripping from it! Come on out from digital folder 1 through the might of pen and ink, my artist comrade! And make it so with the power of music and freezing ice creating your entrance! Painting Artist Rookie Rob(ATK: 2000, DEF: 300)! Now I activate his effect! I switch him into defense mode and reduce his attack points to 0. This allows me to summon a Painting Artist from my deck with at least 2000 attack points! Help add another piece to the composition of this field, Rebellious Painting Artist Marshall(ATK: 2800, DEF: 3000)! Now their effect is triggered. They gain 100 attack points for every Artist card I control on the field. That's 4, they now have 3200 attack points. That's all for now, I end my turn!"

"For a human, you are clever but I will destroy you anyway. I know very little about these Pendulum cards but my Armatos Legio monsters will be able to take care of it. I draw as well. I summon Armatos Legio Gradius. When I do this, I'm allowed to add Armatos Colosseum from my deck to my hand. This human is why we Ignis are superior to you. I activate Armatos Colosseum. Now I can add another Armatos Legio monster from my deck to my hand. I add Armatos Legio Scutum to my hand. Now I send Sica to the graveyard to special summon Speculata. With that done, your destruction begins now! I manifest my circuit. Link markers authorized. I require 1 level 4 or lower Armatos Legio monster. I set Gradius into the marker. I Link summon. Link 1, Armatos Legio Decurion(ATK: 1000). I Link summon again. I need another Armatos Legio monster. I use Speculata. I Link summon. Link 1, Armatos Legio Eques Flamma. But I'm not done. I use them to Link summon a third time. I need 2 Armatos Legio monsters including a Link monster. I Link summon. Link 2, Armatos Legio Primi Ordines! I use its effect to special summon the Sica that's in my graveyard next to its link. With Sica, I Link summon for a 4th time. Show yourself again, Armatos Legio Decurion." I would go on from there in terms of recounting but my brain hurts just thinking about it. I'm really sorry. Let me just skip to the finale for you because I just can't do this. I really don't want to recount that entire duel, it's too complicated and confusing to write about. But before I skip to the finale, I'm just going to note some highlights of the duel.

Lightning made attacking and dealing damage a lot harder than it should have been. It was a serious fight to the finish. My monsters were far stronger but his are cheeky, very cheeky. But finally, I used my skill Artist's Eye to add Advanced Artistic Haven to my hand. This is when I finally turned the tables on him. I played my cards right and managed to end the duel right then and there: "Now that I have summoned all of these dreadfully creative monsters, it's time to finally put a stop to you! You can negate as many attacks as you want but I have 6 monsters out now. Do the math. Advanced Artistic Haven doubles their attack points during the battle phase." "No! This is impossible! Another mere human has defeated me! This can't be happening!" "You're done! *skip some stuff* And time for the finishing blow! Regnes, send the remainder of his life points running to their deaths! Attack!" And just like that, the duel is finally over and our duel disks deactivate. "This isn't over! You may have defeated me in the duel but there's no way you'll really be able to stop me!" "Forget it, that won't work. The sphere field we're in is being remotely operated by someone else. That someone else is watching everything going on closely. As a result, the field is not going away yet. If you wanna fight me, just try to. I dare you. After all, I got more important things to take care of. Actually, nevermind what I just said in the last 2 sentences. Adventurers, avert the eyes of the children now. We cannot let them see what I'm about to do. Continuous Extremely Risky Spin Slash: 100! *starts panting immediately* Take this!"

My attack ends up doing nothing. Lightning is unharmed. Roan is shocked: "How is this happening? I don't understand. All of this is so confusing." Lightning chuckles again: "Messing with your minds is always so entertaining. Nice try, Swiftdrawer but that won't hurt me. Ever since you easily broke apart that data storm, I've desired a fight but not with cards. You could say our duel was just a way to amuse me." "Good grief. When did you get interested in physical combat? I have a feeling it's partly my fault as usual." Judia replies: "Just what are you going on about?" "There's still no time for this! That duel only raised more questions! Please stop asking questions if you want to live! I'd rather be on a relatively easy mission not this. But oh well. Damn it. I'm exhausted from that attack." Yufa heals me: "Heal!" "As much as I appreciate it, it's not wise right now. You need to preserve your energy to help out more later. Ugh! This is a pain! But still. Lightning, I'm going to do everything I can to crush you!" I charge at Lightning but Windy gets in the way and finally does something besides laughing maliciously: "Get out of the way, Windy! I'm not after you right now! Step aside unless you want me to devastate your Bahamut Bomber with lots of help from fellow artists!" "No no no! I won't let you get in the way of my friend!" Judia uses Charge Arrow to get Windy's attention. Windy is a pale lime green Ignis with green wind and curve markings on his body, red eyes, and a long swirl like hair sticking out of his head. Judia is a hunter with short long blonde hair, dark skin, brown eyes, brown, tan, and white boots, a brown and green skirt, a bow in her right hand, brown and tan gloves and sleeves, white top shirt, and pale yellow/caramel brown bra over her breast area.

"What was that for? Now you have me mad, human! Forget Swiftdrawer, you're more annoying to me! Now you must be destroyed! Now now now!" He and Lightning create data storms. The battle begins. Raising my sword to cut through the storms, I yell: "You all take care of Windy, the green one! I'll take care of Lightning myself even if it's the last thing I do!" "But that's suicide! You can't take him on on your own! And we don't even know if we can really trust you!" "Your concerns are warranted but just watch. *the data storms are broken up with some effort* A little wind won't bring me down. In fact, I can handle it as long as it's not freezing wind. I hate being cold. I don't take risks unless they're calculated risks or there is no other option. My comrades are too busy to help us out so I volunteered to come here alone. We need to protect where we come from and other places as well after all." Roan replies: "Where's your armor then? Don't risk everything like this! I can protect you! Holy Cross!" I sigh while blocking every attack Lightning is throwing at me with ease: "I guess there's no choice, huh? Meh. I was going to do this anyway. *takes off cloak and mask, pocketing them* There we go." Everyone is left speechless by my appearance. The armor is very striking to them as is my cape and the visible scars. Let me be honest about the scars randomly for a second. I have gotten quite a few over the past nearly 4 and a half years. It's just that I didn't bother to note it and most of them are very faint at this point. But the worst scars are the most recent scars. What I'm wearing hides most of them but you can see a couple on my face. They're small but there.

"Can you please stop staring? We have a fight to continue and even now, I struggle with attention like this to an extent in this body. Roan, you should take all the damage Windy is dishing. Actually, I don't have to tell you that. Your team lineup is solid although you really should keep your new members out of the fight. Unfortunately, they lack the skill or experience required to battle head on. I never thought for most of my time fighting with swords that I'd ever fight alongside a crusader. Oh well, the inevitable fate caused by previous actions and current plans made sure this was more than likely bound to happen. That's how I generally view fate." My words are heeded and Lightning is not happy with me: "Why won't you just die already? I want to destroy those humans, the ones who crushed all of my plans. You're in my way, surrender and we can do this the easy way." "I won't be stepping aside, Lightning! I have sworn to confront you: knight vs Ignis. And that's what I intend on doing no matter how insistent anyone is to having an alternative replace this arrangement. If I have to kill you to save myself and others, I will do it. Your beliefs won't change, you are dead set on destroying all of us no matter how cruel and illogical it really is. Therefore, I must do what must be done to put a stop to you. It's only fair. I just hope the others have a plan of keeping that child happy as if that's even possible now that we're fighting like this." That reminds Lightning of the infant. In an instant, he says: "You just foolishly gave me a great plan. I'll be taking my leave to take care of that child. For now, enjoy something I took from Ai when he wasn't looking: Light Dragon @Ignister! It was created using some of my data after all!" I sigh again: "Okay, how many cliches are we going to have today? First, it's man vows to protect everyone. Then, it's crying infant. And whatever else. This is so cliche that it might as well cause a huge mound of cheese to form. A knight and a dragon. Facing off. How original and totally unexpected. I'm so thrilled."

With that said, I clench my teeth and almost crack them out of sheer frustration: "Today just sucks. I can't wait to wake up in Rosemont after tonight. As risky as going to a large convention is now, it certainly is more fun and less dangerous than this situation. Now it only I could clone myself. Too bad I don't have any chakra as I wasn't born from ninja. Or else, this dragon would be gone already. But I'll manage." The dragon starts roaring and I stand in place and use the spherical shape of the field to my advantage to dodge an attack: "Nice try, Light Dragon @Ignister. But that's not going to work on me. Try harder and maybe then, something more will happen. Actually, scratch that. I've given up on making a writing about MFF this year so why don't I just add to that by giving up on the calm chatter that won't change the outcome of this fight too? I'm doing it. Prepare yourself, Drawing Destruction! Haaaaaa!" In 20 seconds, I manage to easily take down the dragon, sending them to the card graveyard or something. Too easy. With that done, I turn around to see Lightning holding the baby while easily pushing back the swordsman and acolyte who have apparently been given the responsibility of watching over the child as the battle rages on. He's about to kill the child brutally right in front of us. Damn it. No wonder the dragon was easy to beat. He was just stalling. I'm too far away to get there in time even with all of my intense training to boost everything from concentration to speed to dexterity to strength and my techniques. I don't need to calculate the projectile motion required to throw my sword perfectly because I know it won't work out as Lightning will just dodge it. Throwing a sword is much different from throwing fireballs as I once used to. It's pretty obvious why and don't you take what I just wrote out of context.

But there is one trick I can quickly pull to get Lightning to not kill the infant. I sheath my sword again and pull out my bow and an arrow. I close my right eye and carefully aim at Lightning. Luckily, it's a clear shot because the other fight is elsewhere in the field, close by but far enough to not cause much trouble. My skill Artist's Eye just randomly activated again and causes a card from my deck to end up in my hand. It's Artistic Fusion. What does all of this mean? Why hasn't this happened this way before? There's no time. Actually, there is as lucky us, Maya is now trying to stop Lightning too. This buys decent time. Fusion. The merging of 2 or more things into one. There must be a deep meaning behind this. Merging. That's it! I must combine somethings immediately but what? There's no time to create another being of fusion so what must be created? Maybe it means a combined attack. It's worth a shot. I put my bow in my left hand and draw my sword for a 3rd or 4th time. I silently create the original Extremely Risky Spin Slash in not even a second and aim at Lightning with my bow and fire the arrow. That arrow takes in some of the fire and air power from the attack, causing it to accelerate towards Lightning. As this happened, I put my bow away and run at Lightning just as he reacts to the impact of the arrow. It caught him by surprise so immensely that he drops the infant. Damn. It seems as though time slows as my brain without putting in much actual conscious thought reacts to that just as I reach Lightning. In far less than a second, I catch the frightened and crying infant. My sword is quickly sheathed and the card returned to my deck as I need to hold the infant with both hands and to look less frightening.

Lightning starts saying something but I ignore him with my concentration skills: "Shh. It's going to be okay, little one. You're going to be safe. You're being protected now. Don't cry, your mommy will be with you soon. *strokes the hair of the baby gently while tanking all the attacks Lightning is used against me with my armor* Hush now, little one. It's time to sleep. It's time to forget your worries. It's time to be at peace." My voice manages to soothe the infant. He's calm now and somewhat tired. I easily move away from Lightning whose movement speed isn't very fast as he's floating and an Ignis. The swordsman, acolyte, Maya, and Poi Poi follow me. Once we're as far from the chaos as possible, I turn to them and speak gently so as to not upset Judia's son: "Listen, all of you. He needs to continue to be well taken care of. He's calm for now but that won't last much longer as the fighting is echoing throughout here. At least one of you needs to care for him. Judia should be doing this but her arrows are vital against Windy right now. We can't count on reinforcements and I need to focus on Lightning. Do you trust me now?" Maya is a kid merchant with extremely long blonde pigtails as part of otherwise simple blonde hair, caramel brown eyes, pale skin, and a nice pink and white dress with simple brown and white furry boots. She replies: "Leave it to us! Right, Poi Poi?!" "Poi." "Absolutely not. You are much too loud and chaotic to care for an infant. They need as much quiet and calm as they can get." "But I wanna help!" "You can help by using your merchant and combat skills, leave this to someone with a more quiet and caring nature. I do apply when I'm not fighting in that specific description but not now obviously."

The acolyte speaks up sheepishly in spite of the noise being generated from Lightning trying to kill me still: "I'll take care of him. When my parents found out that I wanted to be an acolyte after graduating from the academy, they both made sure to teach me how to care for others before I went with my best friend here on a trip to take the job exams." I give her the infant: "Remember, nice, gentle, and quiet. Oh and you better be prepared to get Judia if he wants stinking or gets hungry. No kid should have to go through the absolute drag of changing an infant's diapers if there's an older caretaker around who can do it themselves. Now then, I can't stay to chat. I'm going to try to defeat Lightning on my own again now. We can catch up and I can explain everything when we aren't having 2 enemies trying to kill us all. That's the best procedure for this." With that, I dash off to face Lightning again: "Oh so you have finally decided to do something about my constant attacks. Good for you but there's nothing you can do to defeat me, human. I am superior to you in every way. You have no chance of victory outside of our duel." "Who said I had to win to stop you. *draws sword* I'm going to teach you why an increasing number of individuals have come to fear my blade and my stare and words. No more casual vibe for me, I'm serious now and that's very bad news for your chances of killing me off quickly and easily. Your insults and confidence will do nothing against someone like me. I've heard it all before. And because I have, I have already become partially desensitized to it. It takes a lot to shock me. Get ready for the fight of your life."

Knowing that Extremely Risky Spin Slash does nothing, I try Drawing Destruction but it also does nothing, Same with Drawing Devastation and before I know it, I'm almost completely exhausted and worn out: "*sigh* *huff* *puff* Well, I tried. But make no mistake in your judgement, I'm not done. Far from it! Haaaaaa! I have no reason or incentive to slack around right now! One attack that might deal you some harm remains but I'm not sure if I want to risk it or not." "Haha, you humans are so predictable. I'm not shocked that you don't know what to do. Your kind are very good at being unsure of what they want to do. Now let me enlighten you as to how I don't struggle like you do because I'm superior." That almost makes me want to attack with it out of spite but I rarely make good on thinking to do things out of spite and spite only. However, there is one important piece of information that should be noted. Lightning isn't a combat type fighter, he's more of a puppeteer and tactician. That's why he has used data storms to try to kill me. He doesn't fight physically himself. He likes letting his pawns do the fighting for him. "You say that and yet you don't even fight physically. You've clearly been trying to rip my body and armor to shreds with data storms but it just isn't working out for you. So what more have you got planned anyway? What could you possibly do to kill me when you don't even visibly have a physical weapon you hold and use besides your duel disk?" "As critical as expected. I'm almost impressed. But nevertheless, you'll find out soon enough. In a few seconds, in fact. I have other cards I took from Ai. Did you ever wonder why that lazy no good traitorous Ai never uses his cards? You thought it was because he partnered with Playmaker again! I know this because you are so easy to read, human."

"I never once wondered that for real. I see what you're talking about. Dark Templar, The Arrival, and more. The other ace @Ignister monsters. Nicely played but it won't work. Also, it's rare I wonder about anything because I figure out and learn so much over time. I mostly wonder to develop plans such as story writings. Aka how to convey what has happened to me outside of my home world in chunks that I can manage to convey over time. You won't stop me easily with these monsters. In any case, you have forced my hand or rather, my blade. Observe! Great Infernal Tornado Slash!" I easily defeat them all but at a huge price. I'm almost dead and seriously injured. I also than just pulled a few muscles. Like I didn't see this coming. But crap, I'm bleeding. "You persistent human! I can see how hurt you are. Let me just put you out of your misery because I can't stand you being around me anymore! Get out of my sight!" He generates a extremely strong data storm to blow me away but even as my head gets dizzy and my vision blurs, I hold my ground and resist while blocking with my sword held onto by both of my hands: "I won't let you kill me like this! If I'm going to die, it's going to be on my terms but not yours! Just watch and see what happens, you can't get rid of me that simply! I'm too persistent and stubborn! When something is well within my ability, I hate giving up on it! I won't give up on resisting you! You may be good at this for someone with near zero actual combat experience outside of dueling but that won't be enough to drag me into metaphorical hell! Haaaaaaaa!" "Says the inferior human. I will delight in your suffering and destruction at my hands! You're barely keeping yourself together! It would amaze me if it weren't so illogical! You should give up while you still can, you're destroying yourself for me at this point! And as much as I want to enjoy that, I want to make you beg for your useless life!"

I keep pushing back as hard as I can and manage to continue resisting the force of the onslaught of what is now multiple consecutive data storms. "You can forget enjoying my surrender! You can forget enjoying any victories today! I will not yield, not when I'm taking things seriously and have a chance to stand up against the likes of you! I don't have that luxury in my other body! At least not yet for a long time if I manage to survive fascism for long enough! I'll break myself to slow you down if that's what it takes to even do just that! Imagine being this wild in 2022! Just imagine! I'm going to put everything I have into this! I will cut through your air and force the path to your defeat open if I can manage to!" I switch to swinging my sword with my right hand and walking towards Lightning against the crushing force of the data storms as they progressively weaken thanks to my weakened swings. Sweat builds all over my body but I keep going despite the protests of my nervous system and pain receptors. "If specialized moves won't work then going back to mid level basics might work. You can try all you want but as long as I live, I refuse to fall even if my physical body is falling apart. I have the skills and trust in others to pull this off. Everything hurts, my heart rate is uncomfortably high. But still." "I almost don't believe it. But I know you humans better than you know yourselves. You're all always like this. So persistent and stubborn. I'm going to be glad to destroy you first once I have accomplished doing so after you ruin yourself to illogically keep fighting against me."

I can see that my gloves are getting stained with my blood and feel parts of my body feeling out of place but still keep walking towards him: "Is it really that illogical? It's so hard to focus enough to think but even so, I will speak my mind even if this is how it ends for me here! Emotional intelligence is a thing that most humans have from what I've seen and learned. Reducing the suffering in this existence full of strife, hatred, greed, and more by being kind is logical. You just don't understand emotion! Boman did and that's why he got closer to succeeding than you did. I admit it now, I'm dying but if you think that will stop me, think again!" I picked up my speed even though that intensifies my pain tenfold and hold out my sword to push it right through Lightning: "I understand whatever pain you have and like to hide behind the logic of a puppeteer but.. my pain at least right now is greater than yours! Let me show you how desperate I am! I will stab the life out of you if it's possible! My sword is making its way through your body and I'm not stopping until it's all the way through or I drop dead even if it means going beyond my greatly enhanced limits achieved by breaking them over and over!" His eyes are wide as my sword goes through him and I pull it out. The wound I created spews out bits of data from Lightning's systems. "You think that will stop me? I am superior to you!" He stops attacking to begin healing the wound I created by inputting new data material to where it is. It takes his full concentration and I'm almost dead.

My gloves are leaking my own blood now, it's that bad. Yufa. Where is that priestess with her healing when you need her. Why is it now I finally remember about her and the others? They must be having a really hard time with Windy. Oh and my armor has some cracks in it. Just what I needed as I bleed out to death. There's only one way out of this right now. 3 HP bananas. I thought of this out of desperation and the fact that Lightning is still healing himself. I frantically pull some out and start eating them, peel and all even though they're strained with my blood thanks to that. I eat them as quickly as possible and because of that, I experience shortness of breath even greater than the shortness of breath I started feeling from all my injuries and loss of breath. But the remedy is simple. I stand in place and let the bananas settle a little bit before taking a deep breath and letting them settle again, letting my armor take on more attacks from a recovered Lightning. It protects me from feeling much force from all of them thankfully. Suddenly, I feel refreshed as if I just woke up from an excellent sleep before taking a nice steamy shower where I fully washed everything with my best effort and stretched out every muscle I possibly could. "Lightning, I just saved myself with a comrade of mine's bananas. I don't really like their taste but it was worth tasting them. Now, I can fight back with my full strength." Before he can respond, we hearing the sounds of armor and swords clanking and horses galloping. It's a good thing sound can travel into this sphere field but not out of it. That really comes in handy. I'm just glad I'm alive and no longer bleeding to death. My arms are still shaking from when I stabbed Lightning unsuccessfully though. The Ignis is too interested in this to keep trying to kill me: "Oh more foolish humans? I like that, fighting you is getting repetitive and tiresome!"

"So I take it you want to take a reprieve to let them join this battle. Actually, I don't care. I'm here to defeat you and if that means working with others, that's fine by me. Just leave the infant alone." I contact Dominic: "Dominic, you better hurry up and let those others in! I think I know who they are though I never expected them to help. I should have, they are supposed to keep this city of Prontera safe after all." "Don't worry, I'm on it! I do have remote control over the field after all. But I really could use a nap sometime. Anytime would be nice. Watching all of this and inventing is so tiring. What a causation to want a nap." We hang up our phones after that and mine is put away in a flash. And just like that, the main Prontera based division of the Order Of The Knights, often referred to as the Prontera Cavalry to simplify communications arrive to our location. They are perplexed by the sphere field before them and are reluctant to go in there. Well, all of them besides their leader in this time, a blue-gray haired and eyed, pale skinned, and brown/green outfit wearing man named Herman: "I do not know what kind of magical artifact this spherical structure is supposed to be but there are battles going on inside. This is a concern because it threatens the peace and safety of Prontera and we cannot allow that. Let's go in there to find out what's going on. Follow me, knights." Just as they start coming into the huge field, I sigh: "I just realized how chaotic this will be. To help with that, I activate the action field Crossover!" "Action field? Just how many things have you been hiding from me to try to make me inferior to you, human?" "I'm not trying to do that! I'm just trying to survive and help the backup I never expected to arrive!"

"Action cards dispersed." Herman goes over to me and Lightning as we are glaring at each other right now, waiting for each other to make the first move: "What's going on here? Are you two- Wait. What kind of monster is that?! I've never seen anything like it! Let me help you, adventurer! Onward, my Peco Peco! Charge!" But everyone now inside and those already in come to a still stop as a portal opens up and out come falling Kareru and Hato. Hato is in his pigeon avatar and Kareru is in his frog avatar. "Boss, where are we?" "Well, nowhere near the scoop of a lifetime!" "But boss, that Ghost Gal interview was the scoop of a lifetime!" "I don't care! We just missed out on some serious dirt with Playmaker, Revolver, Soulburner, Go, Blue Maiden, Zaizen, Spectre, Biara, Faust, Genome, that cocky and annoying loser Brave Battler, and the rest like that artificial intelligence that keeps following around Playmaker!" "You're right! We're broke and now there's no way we'll afford anything but instant ramen ever again!" They start crying loudly together and hug each other in the midst of their despair. Lightning stares: "I remember those two. They were quite useful in broadcasting the misery of my enemies. Not like I gave them much choice. I'm almost entertained by their antics." "Someone needs to fix that capitalist economy that runs Link VRAINS and the physical world it was created in by destroying it and replacing it. These two would then never have to worry about if they will ever get a good meal that is nourishing ever again." Herman is left speechless: "What's going on here?"

I sigh again: "It's a long story that I will tell after this guy who you called a monster and his green similar looking friend over there are defeated. For now, I'm just going to knock those two crying out their swan song over there out. We'll worry about them later. Surviving is kind of an important thing to do. As you can tell, I'm a knight too but not from Rune." The battle resumes after I gently knock Kareru and Hato unconscious. Cracking my knuckles again, metaphorical chill chaotic energy radiates off of me as I charge at Lightning with a second thought: "I'm going to cut you up so good you won't be able to heal at all this time! Drawing Devastation! Drawing Devastation! Drawing Devastation! Okay, that's enough. I'm beat. *eats HP banana* Much better. I'm ready to kick your ass more. Drawing Devastation! Drawing Devastation! Drawing Devastation! Drawing Devastation! *huff puff* *banana shoved down throat* *deep breath* *banana now in esophagus* Drawing Devastation! Drawing Devastation! Drawing Devastation! Drawing Devastation! Drawing Devastation! And I forgot to bring more HP bananas. Bleh. I'm so tired." I look to see if it did anything and sure enough, Lightning was absolutely destroyed and now just bits and bytes. Or he was until he "magically" reformed a few seconds later with an uncharacteristic smirk on his face. "Foolish. Most illogical. That won't be enough to destroy me. Instead, I will be destroying everyone, starting with you and what appears to be a equally foolish middle aged man with a sword on some kind of bird like creature. Goodbye." He generates a extremely powerful data storm this time: "How in the hell are we supposed to defeat you?" Just then, I happen to notice Yufa fail to use Heal, Holy Light, AND Blessing. Maya loudly complains: "Come on! I'm out of blue potion? This is not my day! After we get out of this alive, I'm going to Alberta to restock! Isn't that right, Poi Poi?"

"Poi!" Windy chuckles manically: "Hehe. You forgot all about me and now you'll pay! Yes yes, you will pay! You will pay! I summon Bahamut Bomber and Bahamut Bomber Custom!" Several knight defeat them with simultaneous "Magnum Break!!" attacks. "No fair! You destroyed them already? Well, I'm going to destroy you next!" Lightning yells at me: "Pay attention to me, you illogical inferior fool!" "No! But if you insist on continuing to attack me, so be it. Great Infernal Tornado Slash! But this time, it's stationary around me! You can't touch me or blow me away for a little bit. Crap, this hurts a lot! And now I'm almost dying. I didn't think this through. Damn it." Without another statement or thought, I frantically pull out every MP Candy I have with me and toss them in the direction of Maya with what I have left. They are thrown so fast that my attack doesn't affect them or their wrappings in the slightest: "MAYA! CATCH THEM AMD GIVE THEM TO YUFA OVER TIME! THEY'LL REPLENISH HER MAGIC!" Just as I throw the last ones, my attack dissipates and I collapse to the ground, too injured to stand anymore and once again, the injuries were self imposed and worsened because I pushed myself beyond the attack by throwing a lot of things really fast. Just another battle in my life. Yay. And then, my pain vanishes as I hear: "Heal! Blessing!" Suddenly, I feel as good as new and stronger and faster than before: "Yufa! You saved me. Thank you! I normally don't give a damn about receiving blessings but this blessing actually does something! The same can't be said of blessings where I come from. My attacks aren't working but there is one thing that I'm sure will."

Lightning chuckles as Herman just remains where he is, stunned at my chaos and planned out recklessness: "Impressive. I didn't think you had anymore recovery items on you. I'll give you a short break, as much as I hate you and want to destroy me, you intrigue me. Few can say that, even among the Ignis. I'll let you move for a little bit without a data storm of mine killing you." Big mistake or so I thought. I sheath my sword in favor of pulling out the BRAIN Blaster that I have had sitting in my ender pouch this whole time. Before he can properly react, I activate it and point it at him: "Game over. Bye Felicia." After not even 2 seconds, a large plasma like blast of energy bursts out of the high tech weapon and is just about to hit Lightning right on the mark when Windy stops what he's doing and gets in front of Lightning, taking the attack for his friend with a creepy grin on his face. Windy is destroyed. His data goes flying everywhere. Some of it even gets on me but it's not connected enough to have Windy's consciousness will it to devour anything and anyone it touches to make more data. Maya yells: "Ha! Your friend is gone! What are you going to do now huh? Don't you feel sad? Actually I don't care, we'll defeat you now! Right, Poi Poi!" "Poi!" The others are in shock of what I just did: "Hey y'all, you feel the same way I do, right? Why would you over there ever do that to another intelligent creature?" Judia runs over to me and I turn to her: "I had no choice. *stifles tears and sniffs* I was going to kill Lightning but he took the hit. This is life or death. I hate killing others. Its the worst. I'm surprised you care. Maybe it's because you saw the despair suppressed within Windy. He was once kind and caring but Lightning corrupted his heart and mind."

Lightning chuckles again and absorbs all of Windy's data: "I'm glad Windy is gone. He was just another pawn in my plan to eradicate humanity for good. Now his data is all mine and I'm more powerful than ever." Yufa looks sick from hearing those words as she comes over with the others: "You would willingly let a friend of yours die? That's disgraceful! You must be punished for all "that you've done! Holy Light!" "I follow no god or master but I agree. Though my viewpoint is a little different about this. I hope you understand why I had to kill. I only let my friends die when it is their choice and they are fully confident things will go well due to their death. And I mean that on a tight string sort of way. A close friend of mine let himself die by being obliterated only to be reborn and come back stronger than ever." And with that, all of us begin fighting Lightning at the same time but nothing we try works. Let me give some examples by way of Roan. He jumped into the fight and tried out all of his moves before even I could get to action by unsheathing my sword and putting the BRAIN Blaster back. "I won't let you hurt anyone else! This is where it ends for you! Holy Cross!" The attack sends a thing of holy type magic in the shape of a cross and it does no damage: "Of course it didn't work, Roan! Lightning is a light attribute individual! He isn't resistant to it but he isn't weak to it either at least in terms of elemental stuff. But his defense is extremely high. I hope you have something else planned. I'll wait for your next moves before assisting you.

Roan looks frustrated for a brief moment before Lightning generates a data storm in response to his failed attack. In response to that, he yells as he puts his shield on the ground just as it's retractable parts come out: "Your storm won't hurt us! Reflective Shield!" The storm is reflected back at Lightning but he merely absorbs the attack with his hand as it is made out of his data after all: "Stay focused, Roan! You mustn't let up! Let's see if your other moves can do anything. Mine couldn't but yours might in part thanks to that sword you got there. It's one of a kind and enchanted after all." He nods: "Right. I trust you now so I'll take your advice. I help those who need help! That is my duty as a crusader!" Shield Charge and Shield Boomerang do nothing too. The first involves throwing it at someone, the other is obvious. And if it weren't for a well timed sprint and Darkeye Slash from me, that shield of Roan's would have been destroyed before it could return to him. Working with a crusader. Nearly unthinkable if I were with a crusader of my homeworld's past instead. The crusaders of the Earth Im from fought foolish wars over overdone religious crap. The Crusades were a cruel thing. In this world of Midgard, crusaders have an excuse of there actually being certified real demons to beat up. The same can't be said in that homeworld of mine. With those two attacks failed too, Roan uses Grand Cross which forms a ritual like cross formation between Roan and Lightning, dealing them both magical damage. It's very much a self sacrifice attack just like my Great Infernal Tornado Slash is at the moment.

Herman who has his sword ready suddenly recognizes Roan: "Hey hold on a moment. Isn't he one of the ones who defeated the Clock Keeper all by themselves? He's a crusader now, that's impressive." Yufa replies as she heals Roan over and over while Maya gets ready to give her another Miitopian MP Candy: "That's right and I was one of the others. It's so good to see you again, Sir Herman." "Now I remember you too! You have really grown as well and are a fine member of the clergy. Where's the magician who helped you both?" "Takius.. She passed away while we were battling the Dark Lord. Without her staff, there's no way we would have sealed him away." "My condolences. I'm sorry to hear that." Just then, Roan almost runs out of magic so he stops and breathes heavily while Lightning just hovers there, completely unharmed and about to lose his patience again. The fight begins for reals after that. For a while, nothing we could do did anything against him. The only things that worked were defensive and healing moves. Roan and I shared all of the inflicted damage and managed to keep on living anyway. But then, Maya does something risky financially as Lightning went on a rampage. An attack that sends all of her money really fast at Lightning. It bankrupts her but it encourages all of us at the same time. This was 20 minutes after Roan's Grand Cross didn't harm Lightning one bit. And there are almost no MP candies left. I need to get more of them and some HP bananas too.

After unleashing every single one of my attacks consecutively from weakest to strongest, almost dying again in the process as all of our attacks were cast and sent toward Lightning, I got out the BRAIN Blaster and used it against him as well. But the Ignis just stood there while unleashing an insanely powerful data storm that actually started to break apart the sphere field. Crossover somehow remained intact in the middle of this, allowing us plenty of places from which to attack and dodge this whole time. And by some miracle, I watched as the BRAIN Blaster self destructed on me but did no noticeable damage and it's last blast did nothing to Lightning. But that's not what was miraculous. Somehow, all those attacks were enough to obliterate Lightning. The data storm stopped as soon as he was ripped into trillions of bits of data if not more that went all over the now slowly cracking sphere field. We couldn't even hear his cries of agony or defeat. As if on cue, Blood Sheppard and Ghost Gal show up from Link VRAINS. Ghost Gal says: "Wow, it looks like something really serious happened here." "I agree but let's not stay for long. The Knights Of Hanoi just informed us that Windy and Lightning have been destroyed. We're here to retrieve their data. Nothing more. But if any of you over there get in the way of that, we'll have no choice but to take you on. And trust me, it won't be pretty. For now, I activate Capture Drone to help with the collection of their data." The Midgardians turn to me. Yufa asks: "Who are they?" "Can we focus on getting out of here first. This sphere field won't last long nor will the action field. The action cards are already gone. Crap, should have told y'all what those do. Sadly, they just sat there unused. Oh well."

Ghost Gal and Blood Sheppard finish up collecting the data. After that, they also pick Kareru and Hato to bring along with them. She says: "While it has been fun going to another world, we must get going now. And we're taking these two. We were wondering where they went. Guess this explains it. Hey Swiftdrawer, remember that you owe me a duel for helping cover up what happened with Destro and all that other stuff. And good luck with explaining everything. I believe in you, hun." They then vanish. I sweatdrop as the rest of us get out of the sphere field and I get it to shrink down to storage size right as it shatters from the battles. The graveyard and everything around us is unscaved: "Crap. Damn it. Well shit. Okay. Is there a nice place around here to sit down and talk privately with all of you? The nature of everything that just happened is sensitive. Not exactly something an everyday citizen of Prontera should even hear. It's too confusing and shocking for just anyone to hear. And it's going to take a while. Yes, I'm getting straight to the point. This is a mess. It's fortunate I'm quite familiar with the culture of this kingdom. Not completely well versed but I know enough about it and this world as a whole to explain all of this in a way you people could actually understand." Roan nods and says: "Hey Yufa, isn't that cafe we ate at with Takius around here somewhere? It's been a long time since that day." "Oh yeah, that's right! Follow me, everyone. I'll lead us to it. We should be able to talk there as much as we want to privately." Let me summarize THAT talk now. We got there and it was so busy that by another miracle, no one noticed any of the renowned individuals in our group. Actually, it was no miracle. Everyone else was drunk and goofing off but that's not the point. The point is that the talk had no interruptions and was successful. But how successful was it? Successful enough after being there for so long we ate both lunch and dinner there.

Heck, we even got dessert too. It was nice. The knight leader Herman kindly paid for it all. Good because I have no Midgardian money. My Lord Knight counterpart does but they're probably dead by this point in time. Time travel sucks sometimes. Especially when paired with interdimensional travel. After we were all done, Herman stood up. The other knights unlike him returned to their duties. I made a mental note to not mess up the timeline before this date that much. Actually, I undid that mental note because my number comrade Regnes locks in timelines as do most other numbers. The man said: "I understand everything clearly now. It's a lot to take in. I'm going to make a report on everything before retiring to my quarters at headquarters. It's been nice to meet and/or see all of you but I must get going." After he leaves and we say goodbye, that leaves me with Yufa, Roan, Maya, Judia, Judia's son, the swordsman, and the acolyte. As I'm about to stand up too and go back home myself, Roan starts trembling out of nowhere and Yufa randomly falls unconscious only to wake up 30 seconds later with a ghastly look on her face that emanates pure fright. Roan mutters: "Dark Lord.. back." Yufa says: "I just had a vision! Everyone, the Dark Lord is back in Glast Heim free to do as he wishes! But it's strange. He isn't sealed away and most of him reminds me of the clock monsters we faced in Aldebaran." I uncharacteristically mutter some profanities under my breath that no one else heard: "Crap. I forgot about him. Yeah, he's back alright and I know who's responsible. It's getting late though."

Judia frowns: "You're right. Personally, I'm too exhausted to worry about the Dark Lord right now. And this here little pumpkin, Iruga Jr. needs his rest too." Roan stops trembling after Yufa calms him down. He sighs: "I agree. Let's find an inn for the night. I guess we'll set out for Glast Heim tomorrow." I'm about to offer to just teleport us there first thing in the morning when my Quantum Leap band stops working: "Oh yeah. I forgot in this universe, this thing doesn't work that well. Damn. Well, it looks like I have to overstay my welcome to help you all." Yufa thinks for a second: "Why don't you just join our party? We always have room for another member!" "I was hoping you would say that! I accept. I know Prontera quite well except for things like where the inns are. That I really don't know. I'm sorry if that slows us down." "It's okay. Yufa, it was a great idea to invite Adam onto our team. We could use their help a lot." "Did you just say they like it was no big deal? You're a faster learner than I expected, Roan. Thank you, that small thing means more than you could ever truly understand. Then again, your brain is still developing so it has a flexibility to it that fades after sometime so be sure to better yourself as much as you can before it fully matures. Aka do it before you become a Paladin. Because becoming one will cause you to be reborn again." We converse on our way to an inn that Maya recalled herself, Poi Poi, Roan, and Yufa staying at after their misadventure in the sewers of Culvert. Judia paid for all of our rooms. Since our party consists of 7 people and 1 poring, we got 4 rooms.

Maya shared a room with Poi Poi and the acolyte, Judia got a room for just her and Iruga Jr., Roan and Yufa shared a room, and I shared a room with the swordsman. I still have yet to catch the names of the swordsman and acolyte. I'll make sure to tomorrow when it's time for begin our journey to Glast Heim. That place is creepy, even I find it unsettling and I love horror movies. Before we fell asleep, the swordsman expressed some fears: "I'm so afraid that I won't be able to protect my closest friend and that I won't be strong enough to face the Dark Lord." I put an arm around his shoulder: "Don't worry, kid. You aren't doing this alone. Far from it. By the time we reach Glast Heim, you might even become strong enough to become a crusader or knight and we'd have to change our plans to allow you the time to change your job. Don't worry too much, this world is in much better shape than mine. I'm almost jealous. Key word almost. Because the Dark Lord is back and honestly, jealousy isn't my thing. It is my nemesis Yappa Yappa's but not mine. Let's get some sleep, we have a long adventure ahead of us." A few minutes later, we go to sleep after I pat myself on the back for packing a toothbrush, cup, and toothpaste. To be continued.

Outro: Thank you so so much for making it this far! Wow, I wasn't expecting to write so much for this! But I'm very glad this is how it turned out! That battle was so good! I interwove between Miitopian, Yugioh, Midgardian, and original elements like it was nothing! Yes, I intentionally set the chapter to take place on December 2nd. There you go, the Ragnarok arc has officially begun! Stay tuned for a Chaotic Hangouts chapter that further explores what happened in Link VRAINS that day. Oh and I just had to diss the Crusades, it was more than well deserved, I say. Spilling needless blood to spread your religion? Disgusting. I also dissed a not so little site called Novelww who has been publishing my and many other authors' stories on its site without permission. If you're reading this on a site that isn't Wattpad or Fanfiction or FictionPress or wherever else I explicitly publish my stories under a username that shows Fireking492 and/or BlazeWarriorWolf in it, that means you're reading it on a site that has essentially committed copyright infringement. That's my warning for that matter. Another warning is this: get ready for things to get even worse in the west because assholes rule everything and will do anything to stay in power. Even genocide. Genocide is already ongoing in the USA. Remember that. I'll see you next time.
