SPROUT!
SPROUT!
SPROUT!
The fight commenced with Kars spawning some squirrels from his cells as he let three free.
They ran towards the god as he would watch the animals approach him.
'Squirrels?' Edge Heart internally questioned as he gripped his scythe cautiously.
Their innocent expression wrenched into bloodthirsty glares they sprang at the god.
"REEEEEEEE!!!-"
SLASH!
SLICE!
SWING!...
SPLATTER!
Edge Heart dispatched the mini menaces easily as he ignored the blood splattering onto the snow.
Kars slightly cringed in dismay of his creatures being harmed before testing the god further.
He spawned a pair of mountain lions from his arms as they roared before charging at the scythe god.
SPAWN!
"ROAR!"
POUNCE!!!
The two animals raced towards their target as they circled each side, attempting to overwhelm and take down the god from both sides.
'...!' The god shifted his gaze quickly between the two, before acting.
BOOM!
BZZT!
DISCHARGE!
SPLATTER!
He pointed his scythe as he gripped the shaft and fired an electrical round that killed the mountain lion to his right in a gory and charged explosion.
"!" Kars reacted, surprised as his eyes widened at the function of his opponent's scythe.
It shot its rounds similar to the firearms back on Earth, but with the conduction of electricity into the equation with the power of a large explosion.
JAB!-
STAB!!!
SLICE!
THUD!...
And followed through with taking the other beast to his left down by using the sharp side of his scythe's bottom blade to impale the threat, before bringing the side up, making a gruesome noise as it left nothing more than a brutalized carcass.
TWIRL!!!
SPLATTER...!
Edge Heart then twirled his scythe as he flicked off the blood on the blade with a single motion before returning it to its offensive position.
SPAWN!
SNORT!
RUN!!!
RUMBLE...!
Kars trialled the god once more time with a single rhinoceros being brought forth as it leapt out of the alien's chest, and made a speeding charge towards the god at maximum speed, the snow slightly shaking at its thunderous charge.
SWING!
BZZT!
VAPORIZE!
DISSIPATE!...
Edge Heart wasted no time as he made a simple electrical arc with a swing of his scythe, vaporizing the singular beast before the arc flew up and dissipate.
"Useless..." Edge Heart muttered.
Kars was surprised at the powers this god possessed from his unique weapon to his apparent control over electricity. But he had to gain more information before he could deduce a solid and unshakable plan for victory.
Kars went on the offensive, using his fingernails to emulate bee stingers as he would fire the biological weapons at Edge Heart.

They disappeared as soon as they left Kars as they headed for the god, their firing speed far surpassing their animal counterpart as they headed for him at hypersonic speeds.
SWING!
BZZT!
Edge Heart dodged and weaved the stingers as he then returned the favour with a large electric arc.
JUMP!
FLAP!!!
EVADE!
SLICE!
DISCHARGE!
Kars then leapt into the air before forming wings that further aided his ascent. The arc collided with the snowy ground and explode as the alien successfully evaded.
He flew in the air as he gained some distance. But what he didn't know was that he was slower in the air compared to the god than on the floor.
ZOOM!
REAPPEAR!-
"What?!"
SLASH!!!
CUT!
This was soon realized when Gris disappeared and reappeared in speedy lines and slashed downwards onto the alien.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The attack gashed the Ultimate Life Form as he was sent sprawling. Gris continued his offensive maneuvers as he fired some rounds at the opponent he aimed his scythe downwards and squeezed the shaft.
Every shot hit Kars squarely.
"He got him!" AL exclaimed.
"He's not out of the woods yet. Kars hasn't croaked." Brave Heart squinted his eyes as he felt Kars' life force replenish itself.
"Huh? What do you... Oh shit...!" AL retracted his previous celebration when he felt the sensation as well, dropping an expletive in response.
PLUMMET!-
FLAP!
FLAP!
FLAP!
REGENERATION!!!
Kars was further damaged as he would be sent plummeting.
"Grargh!" The alien bird arm man screamed.
But before he crash landed, he managed to regain his flight and would have rapidly healed his wounds with his regeneration.
FLY!
He fully healed all the damage Edge Heart had dealt at that moment as he headed back up.
SLASH!
SLASH!
SLASH!
SLASH!
SLASH!
Edge Heart widened his eyes in response, as he then threw some electric arcs at the opponent as he raised into the air to damage him once more.
FLAP!
REGEN!
FLAP!
REGEN!
FLAP!

FLAP!
REGEN!!!
Kars was hit by every single arc, yet he near-instantly regenerated from the damage as he flew higher and higher into the air.
FLAP!!!
FOLD!
DIVE!
SONICBOOM!
Kars was now above the CPU as he would still be receiving arcs to his person. He then began to dive as he folded his wings. He gave himself a single powerful flap, a gust of wind behind him as he easily broke the sound barrier.
FWOOSH!
GUST!
Edge Heart observed the stoic expression of Kars as he dived and, watched as he also got ready to ram into the god.
GRIP!...
'A head-on assault?! Tch!' Edge Heart internally grumbled as he looked at the approaching man, getting ready to swing his scythe.
ENGULF!
But as Kars dived, his body began to generate static and electricity that was fluorescent as it would engulf him as he dived.
HAMON!!!
"What that he's doing? Is it some kind of SP Skill?" AL asked.
"No. He didn't say anything when it appeared... And I also think it's in Gris' best interest to dodge...!" Brave Heart stated as they would watch with anxiety.
The god gripped his scythe as his muscles flexed, and looked to hit a home run with the sharp side of his scythe as Kars approached. The alien prepared as he would generate his energy around his body.
STATIC!
SWING!
TRANSFER!
The god began to swing his blade as it generated some static from the shared energy within himself as he swung. But the contact of Kars' energy soon spread through the metallic substance of the scythe as it was what he planned.
SLASH!
METALLIC HAMON!!!
CONDUCT!
SPARK!
Kars inflicted a cut across the eyes, but it paid off as the Hamon reached the arms of Edge Heart as he would be damaged by the intensity of the attack.
PUNT!
WOOSH!
"ARGH!" Edge Heart yelled in pain as he was blasted towards the ground by the energy, his scythe being flung by the force that was Kars.
REGENERATION!...
Kars stopped mid-dive with some flaps of his wings as he regenerated his eyes. It became slightly harder to move for a bit hence his halting motion.
SWOOP!
DIVE!
Kars then saw the knocked figure of a descending Edge Heart as he began to give chase.
CRASH!
...
LEAP!
IMPACT!!!
RUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLE!...
Edge Heart plummeted before crashing into the ground, only to leap away moments later as Kars dived after him seconds later, almost crushing him under a mighty stomp.
DASH!!!
VOOM!
Kars retracted his wings as he started to dash, making long advances as he was faster on land than the god, even in flight.
GRAB!-
TURN!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Edge Heart flew near the ground with his front faced towards it as he got back his scythe as he outstretched his hand, grabbing it as it fell into his hand, now-fired shots at the running alien.
ZIG!
DISCHARGE!
ZAG!!
DISCHARGE!
DASH!
DISCHARGE!
Kars condescendingly smirked before dodging each one of the shots as he neared the god.
"You'll have to do better than that if you want to defeat the Ultimate Life Form!" Kars boasted as he closed the gap.
VRRRR...!
He then got ready to slice at Edge Heart as his shimmering blades glimmered.
LUNGE!!!
But Edge Heart held his fourth shot for longer as he gripped the shaft as the scythe began to make a sound akin to a machine powering up as he held it longer and longer.
Kars noticed this sound as he pressed on the attack as he lunged towards the god for the first strike, not allowing the CPU to try whatever he was cooking up.
"HAH!" The alien roared.
"Electro Shot!" The SP Skill was given an improvised name.
But he reeled in surprise as he heard the words escape Edge Heart's mouth right before he fired.
DASH ASIDE!
BEAM!!!
FLAP!
Kars redirected his lunge as he moved to the left by materializing a wing to do so just before the shot would have fired.
"!!!" The Ultimate Life Form reacted with haste.
BLAST!!!!!
Instead of the average white ball with yellow static around it, it was instead a yellow beam with white static bouncing off, moving at the speed of light.
BOOM!!!!!
SHAKE!!!
VAPORIZE!
It went off into the distance, into the forest that was a few kilometres away before causing a yellow energetic sphere to be created within the depths of the forestry as the ground shook from the power as said landscape was vaporized.
Edge Heart was shocked at the power of his weapon as he took a split second to glance down at his weapon before refocusing on Kars.
-LUNGE!!!
SLASH!!!
Kars himself, however, saw that the scythe was now inactive as he pressed forward. He continued his lunge from the side this time as he slashed at Edge Heart.
AURA!
PARRY!
Edge Heart snapped back to reality as he perceived from the side that Kars was attacking him and parried it with the white aura of speed activating as he did.
CLANG! PARRY! DEFLECT! CLING! CLANG! PARRY! BOUNCE! SHING! CLING! DEFLECT!CLANG! BOUNCE! CLANG! PARRY! CLING!CLING! CLANG! PARRY! BOUNCE! CLING!DEFLECT! CLANG! ! CLING! SHING! CLING! CLANG! PARRY!

'An aura?!' Kars questioned as he continued to rapidly slash and slice at the defending Edge Heart.
Sparks flew as the blades clashed.
SHING!
CLANG!
CLING!
BOUNCE!
SCHING!
GRIND!
SPARK!!!
Kars had the unparalleled advantage of speed at first, but thanks to Edge Heart's aura, it allowed him to keep up with the space warrior's attacks and meet them head-on. They scraped metal on metal for many exchanges as neither one could find a big enough opening to exploit.
The Ultimate Life Form was thoroughly enjoying the battle as he analyzed his opponent. He hadn't been able to move in eons, and now that he could he felt alive, albeit hungry.
That, and that he had a fancy for a battle now and then. And if this Edge Heart was as competent as he showed himself to be, and his friends over there, he might have to work to make sure his title was secured.
Which was refreshing.
Kars made a lateral slice as it was blocked by the shaft of Edge Heart's scythe. He then followed up a diagonal follow-up slash which was bounced off by the scythe blade once again.
DEFLECT!
PARRY!
CLING!-
CLANG...!
Edge Heart then went for a slice to the shoulder that was blocked by a fist pump motion from Kars which would result in the god having to parry a straight slice to the chest in the nick of time with the inconvenience of awkward positioning.
STATIC!
SWING!!!
They separated as Edge Heart made a powerful lateral slash with some more static pumped into the blade as he did.
HAMON!
SLICE!!!
Kars did the same as the generated his sunlight energy to deflect the blow.
CLASH!
FLASH!!!-
SHOCKWAVE!!!
They clashed with a loud reverberating sound of the mystery energy's fluctuation and electricity and the unstable zips of static as the battlefield was blinded for a split second before a shockwave would follow suit.
"They're going at it." Brave Heart provided commentary as he observed with a cupped chin.
"Going at it?! They're making metal clash with the speed I don't think I've seen anywhere other than shonen anime and my mom's slipper!" AL exclaimed as he watched the fighters generate their respective powers.
"They seem pretty even, but I still think there's a lot that Kars is holding back." Brave Heart speculated as his eyes widened as he would shield his eyes right before the clash.
"Cover your eyes!" He told AL.
FLASH!
RUMBLE!
AL shut his eyes right before the flash would occur, only to be followed by a shockwave that rocked the mountain.
"My ice!" AL screamed.
"You dumbass! I told you to cover them-" Brave would stop.
...
"You piece of shit." Brave Heart smiled as AL chuckled.
"Gotcha, bitch!" AL whooped as the light died down.
"Too bad you didn't see the avalanche behind you." Brave Heart would say as AL would question him.
"What avalanche-"
JUMP!
CRASH!
BURY!
"You son of a- birsofpakdhfoslalapwhegdphf!" AL was snuffed out by the avalanche that buried him as Brave Heart jumped right before it came.
Snow clouds were around the two fighters back in the battle as they slowly dissipated.
Edge Heart's hands writhed in pain from the energy as they were bleeding, meanwhile, the damage that was done onto Kars would have already regenerated.
HEAL...!
Edge Heart was also lightly breathing as he used the temporal healing as he held his scythe so that Kars wouldn't notice.
But Kars did notice as he picked up on the slightly brighter glow near his hands compared to his body.
"Hm? You have regeneration as well?" Kars asked with an interested tone.
"I would not refer to it as regeneration, but yes, I do possess an ability that accelerates my body's natural healing factor." Edge Heart explained.
"I see that you have not retained a speck of damage since this fight has started. For the fact that you have been hit with multiple attacks already implies that you too can regenerate exceptionally quickly." The god finished.
"So you've noticed as well? You are more knowledgeable than you let on. I possess superior regenerative factors as well.
But what I've noticed between my factor and yours, is that you must actively draw upon yours, while mine is as natural as breathing." Kars deduced as the clouds cleared further.
AURA SURGE!!!
"You observe correctly. But if you think that figuring out only one of my abilities assure you victory, you are in for quite the rude awakening!" Gris shouted as his aura flared.
Kars chuckled.
DASH!
"Likewise for one who assumes that I can only uncover one ability!" The Ultimate Life Form retorted as he went on the offensive once more.
He closed between them in milliseconds as Edge Heart clashed before he made some distance as he dashed to the side.
CLANG!
DASH!
The two were now running at tens of times the speed of sound as they slashed, vanished, and dodged as they moved sporadically.
DASH!
CLING!
VANISH!
WEAVE!
PHASE!
SWING!
DODGE!
DASH!
Edge Heart brought down his scythe on Kars who rolled out of the way before dashing at the god with his shimmering blade. He then sprang towards the god, who phased and reappeared behind him with his scythe at the ready.
SWING!
TWIST!
PARRY!
He laterally swung the blade for Kars to twist mid-air and block in an impressive display of skill.
DASH!
DASH!!!
The CPU was parried before he dashed away, with Kars in hot pursuit.
SLICE!
DUCK!
Kars closed in with a slash to the head that was dodged as Edge Heart found an opening near his ribs.
'He dodged!' Kars internally noted with widened eyes.
HOOK!!!
WOOSH!!!
'There!' Edge Heart thought in sync as he went out to deliver a liver punch as his hand would generate its torrent of wind as it moved from its sheer speed.
BOOM!
He connected with the alien life form as his fist smashed into where his opponent's liver was situated.
DRIVE THROUGH!
"SEI!" Edge Heart yelled as he pressed his fist further.
ACID!
SPLATTER!
SPLATTER!
SPLATTER!
SPLATTER!
SPLATTER!
But what he didn't realize until it was already happening was that his hand was now being absorbed into Kars with a bloody mess as his blood-spattered everywhere from his hand as he pressed forward in a startling show of gore.
ABSORB!
"!?" Edge Heart realized as his hand was now being pulled into Kars' biological mass.
HAMON!
And since he was now stuck, Kars raised his blade arm with a sadistic grin as he generated Hamon into the blade.
RIPPLE!!!
"Heh! I see this has gotten out of hand!" He laughed as his energy generated more intensely.
Edge Heart was now a serious bind as he was being absorbed as Kars was about to deliver a direct blow that would most likely seriously if not fatally injure him.
'Oh bullocks...!' The god internally cursed as he thought of a way to get out of the situation. But he didn't have enough time for a calculated plan.
So he improvised.
PULSE!
DISLODGE!
TRAVEL!
JOLT!
He channeled electricity into the bleeding arm as he created an electronic pulse throughout the appendage as it rushed up into Kars thanks to his share energy.
RIPPLE!
SWING!!!
It was able to uproot his arm from Kars' acid as he then made the pulse travel across his body to his other arm, and across his scythe to swing it, ignoring the pain that he felt for a moment- just enough to parry as Kars brought down his blade arm.
FLASH!!!
SHOCKWAVE!!!
SLIDE!...
The blades clashed once more, as the same flash and shockwave effect occurred again, this time with Kars being slid back since the third time around Edge Heart would put more power to challenge his energy.
TUMBLE!
SKID!...
...
STAB!!!
But as a result, it sent the god tumbling and sprawling in the snow as it would soon be colored red from his missing arm wound bleeding out profusely.
He used his other arm with the scythe to stop his slide as he would be still skidding.
PUNCTURE!
"His arm! What the hell happened to it?!" Brave Heart asked as he saw that Edge Heart was down a limb.
AL dug himself out a hole as he found the surface again.
"What's going on with the fight- I guess somebody's gonna miss their fap hand.'' AL automatically comment as he saw the damage.
"Why is that the first thing you say when you come back." Brave Heart deadpanned as he never took his eyes off the fight.
"Because awkward humor beats depression over lost appendages. And I'm comic relief." AL explained. "52.6% of the time."
"I'll allow it." Nebula sighed as he folded his legs as continued to watch the battle.
REGEN...!!!
Edge Heart was breathing heavily as he was now suffering massive blood loss as he worked on his regeneration. The aura that enveloped him would move to his hand.
He looked to Kars and ask as he regenerated.
"What did you do just now?!" He demanded. His scythe was used as a stand as he got up.
"Did I forget to mention? The cells in my body digest other organisms down to the cellular level, providing they make contact, which will produce a potent acid that will break them down and allow me to absorb them.
Quite profound for someone who has experienced this firsthand." Kars explained as he laughed at the god's suffering.
"He can absorb lifeforms!?" Edge Heart quickly deduced as his arm formed his skeletal structure and moved onto the muscle structure.
"So not only shapeshifting, spawning wild beasts, razor-sharp blades and flight, but absorption and regeneration as well? I can imagine why the humans in your old world would assume you to be the pinnacle of life." The CPU admitted as he put more energy into his regeneration as he stood tall, still breathing heavily.
REGEN!...
His muscles on his arm reformed, and his skin would be the last thing to come alongside his fingernails.
His bodysuit WAS be torn and bloodied from the elbow down, but it didn't matter to him. He didn't decide to fix the fabric with his power, as it would just waste energy.
"But there is not here, and I will reign victorious! " Edge Heart proclaimed as his arm fully regenerated and he clenched his fist as he pointed to the alien before using his aura to blast the snow away, making his declaration seem imposing.
AURA!!!
WHOOSH!
POINT!
He twirled his scythe as he then pointed to Kars.
"Your words are bold. But you do realize that we've only just begun?" Kars reminded. with a gesture.
"Indeed. Then let us continue what we agreed to do!" Edge Heart responded as his aura remained vibrant.
STATIC!
STATIC!
But alongside the white aura, there would be some static. Yellow static that resembled his blasts. They danced around as he slowly became more and more used to working with the energy as he fought Kars' rendition of energy.
"Fighting words for someone who's just lost an arm. But be it far from be to underestimate a versatile opponent!" Kars obliged as he began to channel his energy.
RIPPLE!
RUMBLE!
RIPPLE!!
RUMBLE!
RIPPLE!!!
'It pains my pride to actively use this, but I must respect him as a warrior. I will not let discrepancies be my downfall!' Kars steeled his gaze as he channeled. The ground shook from the sheer intensity of his powerful medium that burned as hot as the sun itself!
METALLIC HAMON!
ULTIMATE HAMON!!!
Kars sent Hamon through his blades, which would cause some grey static to bounce off of them shortly before becoming luminous once more as it extended to his body.
DASH!!!
"My Hamon will be the deciding factor in this match!" Kars shouted as he came up close.
SLASH!
"!" Edge Heart reacted by swinging at the alien's neck.
EXTEND!!!
But as he was about to connect, Kars' arm suddenly stretched and clocked Edge Heart in the face with a skull rattling extending punch.
PUNCH!
BOOM!
SHOCKWAVE!
The Zoom Punch.
"Hurk!" The CPU blanched.
SPROUT!
FLY!
DIVE!
PROJECTILES!
Edge Heart was launched as Kars cracked a grin and continued to chase the god. He returned to his animal hybrid as he flew up before diving back down and shooting his wing projectiles at the knocked god.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
SHATTER! SHATTER! SHATTER!
Edge Heart recovered as he quickly dispatch the projectiles with his scythe as he made some quick shots at them.
"CAW!"
The CPU clad in black then looked to see the Ultimate Life Form send some falcons from his feathers to dive and attack him in speedy dives.
DIVE!
DIVE!
DIVE!
DIVE!
DIVE!!!!!
They cawed as they nosedived, and would approach him, with Kars behind them.
BZZT!
IMPACT!
BZZT!
IMPACT!
BZZT!
IMPACT!
BZZT!
IMPACT!
DISCHARGE!!!
They all descended upon the god as he stopped himself from moving. He narrowed his eyes as he sent electric arcs, turning each one of the falcons into the ionized fried chicken as they were hit.
CLASP!!!
HAMON!
Kars snarled at his creations being destroyed as he reverted to his base state as his blades returned. He would then bring his arms up and clasp them as he had the ripple active around his body.
LEAP!
Edge Heart knew better than to clash a fourth time and evaded the attack accordingly.
GROUNDSLAM!!!
HAMON OVERDRIVE!!!
EARTHQUAKE!!!
But Kars vouched for that being the course of action as he ground slammed the snow as it caused the ground to shake as he caused a Sendō Hamon Overdrive so powerful that it not only traveled throughout the battlefield but caused an earthquake that went for kilometers around.
"Augh!" The god cried out as he lost his balance.
Edge Heart was sent twisting from the effect of the Hamon as his balance was being thrown off as he was attacked indirectly again through painful discharges.
DASH!
Kars then used his chance to close the gap between the two with a dash once more as the CPU couldn't escape this time around.
"HMPH!"
HAMON!!!
Once upon the CPU edgelord, the Ultimate Life Form closed the gap as he went for a Rebuff Overdrive, attacking with an energized Hamon elbow.
Edge Heart couldn't move but could act out his defense as he quickly generated static within his scythe to block the attack as he recovered a split second early.
STATIC!
GUARD!
CLASH!
He then felt the intense pressure of Hamon energy as he guarded with the shaft of his scythe.
STATIC!!!
HAMON!
SCHING!
FLASH!!!
Kars simply redirected his elbow and use his blades again as his arm blade connected with the shaft. Edge Heart saw this and put more static into the scythe, as he needed enough power to cancel out Kars' Hamon, somehow.
"I've been blinded!'' AL yelled, faithfully staying to his job as a battle commentator.
HAMON!
Kars' Metal Silver Overdrive and Edge Heart's static clashed once more as the flash effect returned. It blinded the spectators watching as Kars went for another attempt.
BOOM!
But Edge Heart reacted accordingly and withdrew his scythe as he rearranged it to the barrel as he fired a shot at Kars.
"Static Slashes!"
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!!!
"Uargh!" The alien yelled.
Kars was knocked back as Edge Heart gained some space. He then sent a flurry of his energy arcs as he finally came up with a name for the attacks.
Kars wasted no time as he regenerated and dodged the projectiles as they raced towards him.

They kicked up the snow as the alien dodged and deflected the arcs with his Hamonic blades, their energy overpowering the CPUs. He then approached the god as Edge Heart sent out his attack.
CHARGE...!
The alien dodged and weaved all of these as he approached the god once again. Edge Heart noticed his approach and began to channel static into his scythe.
BLINK!
The first light on the scythe would be turned yellow as it charged.
HAMON!
ZOOM PUNCH!
Kars reached upon him as he went go for a slash to the neck with a Zoom Punch.
SWING!
VOLTAGE!
So the god was left with no other choice but to release the electronically charged slash early.
RETRACT!
DODGE!
VOLTAGE!
The scythe blade edges glowed yellow as a much bigger version of the X slash would appear. It eviscerated Kars' arm as the Zoom Punch had been caught in the blast. Kars retracted his stubbed arm as he dodged the X slash.
ELECTRONIC EXPLOSION!
FLASH!
WINDWAVE!
He looked behind him and witnessed the move explode in bright yellow light. It turned the area yellow as it blasted away all the nearby snow.
Kars regenerated his arm as both fighters shielded themselves from the blast.
"Tch!" Kars guarded.
"Hnn!" Edge Heart averted his gaze.
DISSIPATE!...
...
The explosion died down as some static was still left from the area. It dissipated shortly after along with the yield as a crater would be left in its wake.
"The fuck just happened there?!" AL asked.
"I'm not too sure, for once." Brave Heart admitted. "But if I had to make a guess, I'd say that Gris found his drive." Brave Heart assumed.
"His drive?" The fire user would ask.
"His EXE Drive."
"Ohhh. Your wordplay is as insufferable as it is entertaining." AL pointed out.
"Nepgear's is Celestial Severance. My own is Shinku Hadōken. That's probably Gris', but it's probably just been showcased. He could have severely damaged Kars, but the guy dodged at the last second after losing his arm. Ironic, since both of them lost one arm now." Brave Heart deduced and observed as he uncovered his eyes from another explosive light show.
"So he has to figure his own out? He just sold it out to the enemy!" AL pointed out.
"Duh. But here's the thing. The attack is still not complete. He was interrupted early, remember?" Brave Heart would remind his friend.
"... You're right!" AL snapped his fingers. "So if he can buy himself enough time, then he can defeat Kars with his full power EXE Drive!" AL came up with an idea.
"But the real question is how he's gonna pull that off!...?! Brave Heart exclaimed as his eyes hardened as the battle continued...
REGENERATION!
"What was that!?" Kars asked as he regenerated his arm.
LEAP!
"..." Edge Heart said nothing as he brandished a cocky smirk. He then twirled his scythe stylishly as he leaped into the air.
"!?" Kars looked up as he would ready himself.
"You seem defensive. I wonder as to why?" The CPU pointed out as he charged up his scythe again. Kars widened his eyes at the implication of the scythe being charged up and made a move.
"Not a chance!" Kars yelled as he sprouted his wings and followed the god.
That attack he launched effortlessly destroyed his right arm without effort.
He couldn't allow him to do that attack again.
SPROUT!
FLY!
PROJECTILES!
He then shot his projectiles again as he would try to distract Edge Heart.
VRRR...!
But he wouldn't be a fraction of how fast he was on land. And even worse yet, Edge Heart wasn't charging for another one of those attacks.
"Electro Shot!"
VOLTAGE!
'Wait! He's not going to do that... He's doing his beam maneuver!' Kars came to a mental realization as his eyes widened in said realization. The god had drawn him in so that he wouldn't miss!
The yellow beam with white static would return just as Kars had moved out of the way. But he wouldn't be in the clear as he was slashed by Edge Heart's static scythe as he would be paralyzed.
SLASH!
"Grah!"
PARALYZE!
The god immediately moved once he fired the SP Skill and managed to flank Kars in a big-brained play.
HACK!
FLING!
Kars was feeling real pain for the first time in the form of his nerves being forced to become inactive as he was paralyzed.
Edge Heart then continued as he hacked into the back of Kars before flinging him further up.

BLOODSHED!!!
Kars was flung upwards as he was subjected to repeated rip and tear at his person as his blood would be spilled as the scythe tore through his open defenses.
Kars' blood exploded from his body as the ultimate life form was cut from every angle during his paralysis.
He was unable to react due to his paralysis revoking his ability to speak as all he could do is feel the pain of the cold steel piercing through his flesh. And he couldn't even manipulate his flesh to repel the blows since his body was paralyzed, leaving him wide open. in every sense of the word.
"Static Gigaslash!"
BZZZT!!!
Kars fell to the ground after a well-placed attack from Edge Heart acted as the finisher for the bloodbath in the sky.
The X-shaped attack that was smaller and less intense than the unnamed EXE Drive returned as it hit Kars directly as he was engulfed in the attack before his paralysis wore wear off a moment later.
All he was able to do was yell in realized pain as he was blown to limbs as bloody mist covered the air.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!"
FLASH!
BLOODY MIST!
His parts were being sent to the ground as the X-shaped attack exploded in an electronic explosion from above as the area turned yellow again.
Edge Heart saw that Kars would have been reduced to a bloody mess as the last identifiable image before the mist appeared. He knew that the alien warrior was just about to regenerate, and wouldn't dare declare victory as yet.
SLICE!
WIND PRESSURE!
CLEAR!
He stayed airborne as he looked down. He then sent a simple slash of his scythe to clear the cloud.
The cloud of ionized mist would be dispelled as the view below would be clear to see. And when he peered down...
!!!
He observed a fully regenerated Kars standing there with a stern expression that wasn't testing interest or battle intent.
SPROUT!
"GRRRR...!"
And with him were hundreds of his animals, being bats, present as they were generated from his blood. His limbs had brought forth into 4 polar bears that were growling at Edge Heart.
The deity of interest just raised an eyebrow as he looked below.
"I did not know you were raising a zoo, Kars. Who knew you could manifest so many support animals in one sitting. Just know that none of them can help you, as I have figured out your weakness!" Edge Heart poked as he was sweating from the use of so many high requirement techniques.
"You say that, but you look rather taxed. Could it be that I, Kars, am wearing you down Edge Heart?!" Kars goaded back as he got a sense of sadistic glee from seeing the god slowly begin to buckle.
SWARM!!!
"But I want to hear you scream as you sweat blood! so go my animals!" Kars commanded as his cauldron of bats flew towards the god.
Edge Heart snarled as he began to fire many shots at the bats.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
DISCHARGE!
DISCHARGE!
...
MISS!
They were vaporized normally until the bats started to spread out to dodge the large blasts after two or three shots had affected their numbers.
BITE!
CHOMP!
BITE!
CRUNCH!

The bats were soon upon Edge Heart as they attacked and bite the deity, trying to wear down his energy. He was surrounded by the cauldron as they relentlessly swarmed him.
SLICE!

"Grr!" Edge Heart seethed as he was cutting down enemies left and right, as he would be killing handfuls of bats with each swing, but they would just keep attacking as their sheer numbes made up for their strength.
CHARGE!
SWOOSH!
"Surging Field!"
The god took damage as the bite marks would become apparent as he would take more and more attacks, despite his unwavering retaliation. He grew tired of the needless damage so he moved to end the bats in one fell swoop.
SHOCK!
POOF!
BZZT!
Edge Heart roared his SP Skill that popped into his head as he would swing his scythe in a full 360 rotation.
The scythe blade glowed white as he did, the result being a ring of yellow energy was formed before it would expand lightning-quick, shocking all nearby enemies, or in this casing vaporizing them as the bats would be weak enough to be felled in one swoop.
PLUMMET!
LAND!
DASH!
Edge Heart then descended through the ashes of his previous attackers as he landed near the ultimate life form and his polar bears. He immediately went towards the 5 enemies as he gripped his scythe.
STEP!
INDENT!
BOOOOOM!
VANISH!
His aura flared as he moved at hundreds of times the speed of sound at least as the step he took caused the ground to indent before the pressure would make the ground behind him explode as he pushed off, rushing towards the ultimate life form.
Edge Heart vanished as he moved.
TAP!
He soon reappeared by one of his bears and pressed a specific area of the head of the tiger before moving on.
POKE!
BOOP!
JAB!
Edge Heart then moved onto the other three, mimicking the same process as he vanished and reappeared, before standing in the middle of all four animals.
METALLIC HAMON!
He then clenched his scythe with both hands as he electrified his weapon for a swing against Kars. The lifeform would react as his Hamon resounded as it recreated the Metal Silver Overdrive as it flowed through his body.
SLICE!...
"Come!" Kars would shout. He swung up his blade at equal speeds as he challenged the god's attack.
CLASH!!!
"Rah!" Edge Heart yelled back as he brought down his scythe. It sparked with the electricity it had become used to and swung onto Kars' shimmering blade.
...
...
...!
...RUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLE!
BOOM!!!
But instead of a clash, a sound would reverb around the area as everywhere around them was affected instead of the immediate area as they clashed.
"Grrrr!" Edge Heart guttered as he pressed forward.
"Raaah!" Kars roared as he pushed forward.
The Hamon and the static were now competing in frequency intensity as they were on comparable terms for the first time. Kars then directed his polar bears to attack the occupied god.
"Come forth my animals!" Kars directed.
But as his beasts would pounce, they suddenly changed expression from fierce to stunned.
"Mō shin dayo." Edge Heart told the Ultimate Life Form as he understood what the man had told him, as it sounded like Japanese from his world.
He said:
"They are already dead''.
So he responded in kind.
"NANI?!-"
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
GORY EXPLOSION!
GORY EXPLOSION!
GORY EXPLOSION!
GORY EXPLOSION!
The bears exploded in a bloody mess simultaneously as they would have been killed by the remorseless style of Hokuto no Shinken.
The animals had been defeated in one fell swoop once more as Kars looked to the side to witness his creations effortlessly dispatched.
PUSH!
SPARKS!
SKID!!!
He unconsciously broke concentration for too long, as Edge Heart pushed back the Ultimate Life Form with a charge that had sent him skidding.
SWING!
CROUCH!
SLASH!
Kars was pushed back as he was now on the defensive. Edge Heart then slashed at the alien as he ducked and went for a stomach cut.
CLANG!-
Edge Heart reacted, however, and the slash would be met with the shaft. The shaft-
SLICE!
CUT!
And the lower scythe blade was used to cut the shoulder of the alien.
"!!!" Kars reeled as he would be cut by the underside of the scythe.
HAMON!
SLASH!
SCWING!
In retaliation, the alien used his other blade while being cut and sliced across the abdomen of Edge Heart.
HAMON!
"Blargh!" Edge Heart gargled blood as the wound made him expel some from his mouth. The Hamon dealt extra damage since it made contact with his body, unfortunately.
Edge Heart in the midsts of the exchange made a gamble. He used his hand and coated it in electricity. He then had the yellow electricity coated hand used to be brought towards Kars.
But the alien warrior grinned as he brought his hand, knowing that he would just assimilate the appendage once again.
'What a fool!' Kars anticipated as he gladly let the god lose another arm.
EXPEL!-
ELECTROCUTE!
But what he didn't expect, was that instead of touching him, Edge Heart stopped right before the hand touched Kars, and expelled the lightning as it directly hit Kars.
PARALYZE!
KICK!
BAM!
"Wha-!" Kars cried out, shocked by the attack as he would freeze up once more as he was kicked away by the god in an electricity-coated foot that was so powerful that his esophagus would have been temporarily crushed.
If it weren't for the paralysis!
"Gak!" Kars uttered his last gaggle before being silenced by the effects of paralysis.
WOOSH!
Kars' Hamon deactivated, as he no longer had a method to breathe, and was paralyzed so that he couldn't consciously regenerate his destroyed neck. He flew over the snow and ice as he was left defenseless.
Edge Heart quickly contemplated whether to heal or charge up the attack again.
CHARGE...!!!
He shortly decided to use the attack. It was very unlikely that Kars would let this happen for the third time, so he began to charge his attack.
BLINK!
His attack began to muster its power as he generated some electricity into it. He accumulated more and more power as the first light of the scythe would turn yellow once again.
...
CHARGE...!!!
Kars was still stunned as he flew over the ground, writhing his blood and soon to be asphyxiation. He felt the atmospheric pressure and sensed that Edge Heart was charging up that attack again.
He was unable to move and unable to regenerate his body to start using Hamon again.
Kars was now in a bind, and he knew it! He had been outsmarted- no, bullshitted, but Joseph Joestar had never flat out deteriorated his energy to the point of actually losing a fight being a possibility.
For the first time in Kars' existence since the days of old many years ago, and he meant many years ago since he was a rock in dead space for who knows how long, he was wary of something.
Something that was thought inconceivable to happen to him, and that blasted Joestar being a one in a million exception.
Defeat...
He was sure he couldn't die, even if the attack had hit him square on, but that unbearable sensation, pain the humans called it?
Yes, unyielding pain like he had never felt before. The only one who could have caused him pain in his Light Mode was Wamuu, and he was unchallenged as the Ultimate Life Form, up until Edge Heart had outright challenged him, ironically.
The so-called 'god' was an enigma to him, able to find a solution to his Hamon without even being stated its capabilities or weaknesses, having regeneration to deal with his assimilation, and even being one capable to keep up with him in speed as well as power.
Kars had met his match for the first time in, well, anytime.
Kars shook his monologuing and tried to fight off the paralysis as he would struggle to gain control of his nervously impaired body.
BLEEDING!...
BLINK!
The destroyed trachea and his inability to regenerate it was hammering it home in how much of a shitty situation the Ultimate Life Form was in as he would barely be able to think as he was subject to the pain in his jugular area, or where it used to be as he bled. Despite his monologuing before, that's different-
The second light had lit up on Edge Heart's scythe as it was more than half charged.
The ground around him began to swirl from the energy being collected in his scythe. Kars internally snapped alert at the second blink, which if he recalled, meant he only had a few more moments before the third and final blink occurred.
...
...
...
...
...
...
TWITCH!
Kars widened his eyes, which was another good sign as his pupils constricted at the fact that he could move his body minutely. He used this to regenerate his grievous neck wound, which healed within seconds.
-REGENERATION!
HAMON!
Kars was now able to breathe again, which meant that he could utilize his Hamon once more.
HAMON!!!
He couldn't only do just that as he was engulfed once again in Hamonic energy as he was able to move his hands as well.
CRANE...!
UPRIGHT!
CHARGE!!!
He soon felt feeling in his neck as he craned it up with much effort to observe his opponent. Edge Heart had two lights on his scythe active and would be charging the third and final one.
The third light on Gris' scythe would be flashing yellow and black, meaning that it was charging.
SHAPESHIFT!
The paralysis had still not worn off completely as Kars still couldn't feel his legs as he sailed through the air. He did the next best thing and prepared himself as he reinforced his skin into rhino skin.
His skin became grey as he would add the genetics of a hippo onto the rhino skin, doubly guarding himself.
Since it was Kars, the skin was much, much more potent and defensive than its average animal counterparts as he would still not feel anything in his legs.
BLINK!
He added the armor over and over again on armor in a fashion similar to layers, but the paralysis prevented him from shapeshifting further.
The third light in Edge Heart's scythe was fully functional as the lights turned green, signifying that it was fully charged.
WINDWAVE!
The swirling around the god would disperse in a push of wind pressure as the swirls were blown away.
FLING!
Kars was taken along for the ride as the winds carried him skywards.
SPROUT!
GLIDE!
The Ultimate Life Form couldn't run, but instead, be given a chance to evade and strategize as he turned to his half-animal form as his wings would sprout.
Kars glided on the winds with his limp legs being suspended through the wind pressure as he flew. He gained distance as he thought to think of a plan.
Through intense calculations within his 400 IQ mind, he decided that gaining distance was the best notion since he was in no condition to retaliate as he kept gaining distance until he was fully mobile.
Edge Heart had different plans as he pushed his speed to the brink once he saw the position of the alien.
GRIP...
...ZOOM!!!
At Mach 1000, the highest speed he had ever moved, he gripped the scythe and closed on Kars.
HAMON!!!
GUARD!
He appeared right in front of Kars, who reverted to his Light Mode and would channel the Metal Silver Overdrive through his shimmering blades as he crossed guarded.
"Overwhelming Maelstrom!"
SWING!
Edge Heart brought across his blade as he yelled out the first attack name that came to mind for his EXE Drive.
CLANG!
The blade blurred as its metallic edges glowed yellow as it connected with the ripple blades of Kars.
SHATTER!!!
...Until they broke them clean off!
''WHAT!?'' Kars barked, as his Light Mode blades had not been damaged in such a manner up to that point, even in the slightest, so to see it completely gone through the attack left some emotional trauma for Kars.
The collision was only just beginning as the X shaped arc that had come forth the first time was now in the form of an energy-based pillar that erupted from the place that Kars had blocked before shooting into the sky and to the ground.
EXPLOSION!!!!!!
PILLAR!!!
EXPAND!
It created an initial explosion before expanding as the pillar would grow in size.
Kars writhed in agony as he was about to taste defeat for the first time, as he was not only in a position of fleeing but had been utterly bested by a single attack.
SHOCK!!!
PARALYZE!
SHRED!
VAPORIZE!!!
His body was under the effects of paralysis once more just as his legs had regained movement, and not only that, he felt feel his entire body being reduced to a puddle of blood as his rhino and hippopotamus skin hybrid form weren't even able to keep up with the sheer destructive capability of the attack.
Kars' last moment as a composite mass was seeing the determined face of Edge Heart defeating him with steeled eyes and a roar.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
He was paralyzed and suffered nerve damage so severe that he couldn't even feel the pain of being reduced to a bloody puddle as he lost his ability to speak once again.
DETERIORATION!...
Kars simply felt his body mass shrink and shrink under the force of the lightning and nothing more.
And the surprising thing was, is that Kars was not even upset. He was just... agape.
Overwhelmed, just as the name of his opponent's attack suggested. That he was cut down in such a grandiose, yet painless fashion.
The nature of the attack he had expected to be violent, torturous, and unbelievably painful was just...
What it was.
His defeat.
SHRED!
'I lost... I lost! Kars, the Ultimate Life Form- I have been defeated!' And it took a god no less!' Kars announced in his head as his skin would be blasted off by the intensity.
'I was unchallenged and undefeated on Earth. No one could hope to reach anywhere near my power, but on this place, this world, these people...! They have managed to best even the Ultimate Life Form in combat! There is more to seek on this planet, and there is certainly a way to surpass them!... For I must reclaim my title as the Ultimate Life Form!'
SHRED!!!...
He recited as his muscles were shredded away as he was once again limp from the paralysis.
'Edge Heart was it?! You have bested me, but that victory will not last for I have a new goal! I will defeat you and your allies, and reclaim my title! My will won't be doled into the wayside as I will climb back to the top for I! AM! KARS! The Ultimate Life Form!!!' Kars internally swore as his skeletal structure was grounded to dust as all that remained would be his blood.
GRIND!
SPLOTCH!
...
"Overwhelming Maelstrom!!!"
EXPLOSION!!!
PILLAR!!!
EXPAND!!!
"His EXE Drive!" AL marveled as he looked at the attack.
EXPAND!
BOOM!!!
RUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLE!
"Brace yourself!" Brave Heart warned as he applied a gravitational barrier that shielded them from the force of the wind pressure and snow. AL also contributed by applying his fiery affinity to the barrier to evaporate the snow way before it even came near them.
The pillar of lightning expanded as it kicked up snow in its wake. It shook the ground as it raced through and spread its area of effect.
FLASH!
The shield that was put up collided with the wind and snow as it did just what it was made to do; protect and evaporate the incoming debris. The light from the explosion was blinding as both sidelined warriors would shut their eyes as they kept up the shield.
The static in the air could be felt as the duo defended their persons from the attack byproducts. The light was blinding for a full 15 seconds before finally dying down.
...
...
...
The two opened their eyes as the scenery looked different, to say the least.
The snow would be absent as all that was seen as the dirt below. Its radius would spread a few kilometers as the blast would have easily destroyed a town, if not a small city.
There were small static charges in the air around the blast site as they burst into existence before disappearing back out.
The smell of ozone was also very prevalent as the area would still be electronically charged. And within the area was a heavily breathing Edge Heart.
"Haa... Haa... Hah... Hah..." The CPU breathed.
He held his scythe with one hand as he looked down at where Kars was last seen. He possessed bullets of sweat on his face as he breathed in and out slowly.
DRIP!
His injuries would still be fresh as they slowly bled from his abdomen.
Edge Heart then looked towards the two warriors with an acknowledged glance before looking back at the previous position of the Ultimate Life Form.
He was nothing more than a minuscule puddle of blood as some part of him managed to survive that attack, even if he was by most standards, deceased. But his regeneration could play a factor and revive him.
The CPU then contemplated whether he should make sure Kars could never return from his defeat, or to let his remaining traces be as a legacy to his battle as he definitely would return from that if he could.
Well, he had to, if he wanted to explore the new world, and if he couldn't... At least they didn't have to worry about an alien invasion.
PHASE!
BOOST!
But he wouldn't have to decide, as Nebula and AL came by his side to see what the state of Kars was.
"... Wow. I'm honestly surprised you managed to reduce him to a bloody mess. Literally," AL commented as he looked at the blood pool that was Kars. It still had some static and traces of Hamonic energy coming off of it.
"And that Hamon energy he was using... Sure is resilient. It's active even after he's been defeated." Brave Heart noted as he saw the fluorescent energy radiating off his blood.
"I was deciding on whether to end his sorry state when you two arrived." Edge Heart explained.
"I say don't." Brave Heart would tell the god.
"Why?! He seems off to me, Neb. His energy was powerful yet malicious." AL brought up.
"Because I never got to reduce him to a bloody puddle. All this was just an intensive training session for Gris." Brave Heart stated.
"He lost an arm and his cool for a bit, but it came out alright in the end. And I think he'll be too busy learning more about our world and improving himself to do anything off for a while." Brave Heart explained.
"I question your mental state, Nebula." Edge Heart deadpanned as he looked at his fellow deity.
"What? If he gets out of hand for me, just use your Overwhelming Maelstrom again. And with my Shinku Hadōken and AL's Infernal Spear, he's reduced to atoms." Brave Heart reassured. "It's the last resort though since this franchise has a thing for many versus one matches." He told the two.
"And down here at OC Boulevard, we do everything by ourselves because we're all GARY STUS-"
"Please don't break the fourth wall. It is ridiculous coming from you. " Edge told his godly brethren.
"Only if you spare his biological remains," Brave said his condition, knowing he would forgo it in the future.
"I hope I don't see that metrosexual aztec god of fitness for quite some chapters." AL pleaded as he now had a permanent bad taste in his mouth as he looked at the blood puddle.
"Don't you start too, AL? You don't even know what an 'Aztec' is. " Edge Heart grimaced as he would breathe heavily.
"Let me or else you don't get a Nep Bull." AL bartered.
"I do not require your energy drink. I have all the energy I need at my disposal!-"
REVERT!
PLUMMET!
CRASH!...
Edge Heart reprimanded the flame user before reverting to his human form and falling onto a knee. His scythe would disappear completely as he reverted.
The now reverted Gris was breathing far more heavily as he had both hands on the ground.
"Hah..! Hah...! Hah...! Hah...!" The assassin huffed.
'That EXE Drive...! It must have taken me out of my god form...!' Gris deduced as the two would descend after him.
"He need some milk." Brave Heart memed as he checked the assassin's condition.
"Still want that Nep Bull, edgelord?" AL poked at Gris as he sent a smug look to him.
Gris breathed heavily for a few more seconds before looking at him with a deathly stare and low voice as the killing intent can be heard in his tone.
"Give me the blasted drink before I rip out your fucking spinal cord."
"Shit! Take the drink, you psycho!" AL panicked as he dug in his pocket and gave the man the well-known energy drink.
CLUNK!
"REOW!"
He drank it before crushing the can and throwing it somewhere, where the screech of a cat could be heard as his wound would be healed.
"Where the hell did that cat even come from?!" AL questioned.
"Don't question it. It's there because it's there and it's time for us to disappear." Brave Heart responded. He slowly began to float up.
FLY...!
"We've spent enough time here. The girls have probably arrived at Lowee by now, and might be looking for the Mascot already." He would tell AL as he ascended.
BOOST!
"Gotcha. Well, let's head out. I got in my training and rest, as short as they were, so I'm rearing to go." AL recalled as he ascended.
Gris just looked at the glowing puddle one last time with some lingering thought as he narrowed his eyes before turning away and transforming once again.
"Access!"
TRANSFORM!
PILLAR!
He returned to his god form as Edge Heart reappeared.
ZOOM!
"You were certainly an interesting match, Kars. May we meet again." He told the puddle, filled with professionalism and respect as he crouched before blasting into the air.
TOSS!
CATCH!
He met the other two suspended in the air as AL threw him an SP Charger with a wary face.
DROP!
"REOW!"
Edge Heart grasped the can before downing it too. He felt a rush of energy return to him as he crushed and dropped the can.
"How did he hit the same cat twice?! " AL was in disbelief.
WOOSH!
"Don't. Think about it. It'll hurt your head. Let the gag be." Brave Heart sagely advised as he would fly back towards Lowee.
ZOOM!
"Hmph." Edge Heart hummed at the coincidence as he zoomed back.
BOOST!
"This is what I get for having gods as friends." AL humorously before trailing the two as he left.
The three finally left the site as it was destroyed and decimated.
...
...
...
FOAM!
RIPPLE!
REACT!
But within the landscape, the blood pile that was Kars would start to bubble and ripple as it would react.
"Arrival complete!" Declared Nisa as she entered the city square of Lowee. "The superheroine takes a moment to pose as she stepped into the land of Lowee." She continued.
The girls finally made it to Lowee after some more adventuring through the wilderness.
They were able to handle themselves as they grew stronger through the couple days they traveled without the aid of the busted OCs- I mean, their absent party members.
The absence of the comedic males did make the trip a bit less entertaining, but they were sure that they were able to keep their word and arrive here ahead of the quartet.
It's not like they've ever fucked up the time for arrival, right?
"I hope those guys make it here on time. I don't want to have to go back and search for lost meme lords." IF hoped with her luck.
"They'll make it here. I know they will." Compa assured.
"Your optimism speaks volumes, Compa." The Guild Agent admired before looking to the CPU Candidate.
"Wow... It's c-cold here... But the scenery is breathtaking!" Nepgear's voice would shudder from the temperature as she looked around. Now that it was midday, the temperature was probably at its warmest, and would only drop from this point.
And it was still frigid.
"Anyway, Lowee is covered from head to toe in the snow all year! We should buy some warm undies while we're here." Compa advised with her cheery voice.
"Only if we have time to spare. It's straight to the Basilicom, ladies." IF got the group back on track as she would tell Compa.
"I agree. To the Guild then, IF?" Nepgear asked.
"Nope. Straight to the Basilicom. I haven't heard anything bad about the oracle here, so we should be fine." IF would tell them.
"Lead the way, IF!" Nisa cheered with jubilation.
...
"I take it the Basilicom is up this road?'' The CPU Candidate queried after walking with the group for a bit.
"Hey, now. It looks as if something big is happening over there. Shall we have a look?" The heroine pointed out as she heard a certain underlying some feet away. IF sighed as she began to reprimand Nisa.
"Look, we don't have time to get sidetracked- Wait a sec, that's...!" IF cut herself off after she recognized the person causing the noise.
It was none other than Underling, as she was promoting the name of ASIC again as she would be back to where she was previously.
She looked around every few seconds to see if anyone was interested as she would tell them the cause and perks of the syndicate.
Her face then fell to a dissatisfied gloom as she complained.
"Stupid sales pitch grunt work. I get to pass flyers and crap, only to be found out by the transforming musclehead and his partner in crime and almost die by that gullible assassin that insulted me so hard I nearly cried in public...!" She complained as the group would near her.
"And all of this wouldn't be happening if it weren't for those stupid brats!" Underling made an outburst as she went back to organizing her flyers again.
"Excuse me, but are we the stupid brats you're talking about?" Compa asked as Underling would offhandedly respond.
"Yeah, the dumb blonde chick, the transforming baby, the snob, and the misplaced superhero junkie." Underling listed out.
"Snob, eh? Didn't know having manners came across that way." 'The snob' responded.
"Transforming baby? Aw, do I still look that little?" 'Transforming baby' wallowed in her title's meaning.
"I'm neither misplaced nor a junkie! Everyone loves superheroes, especially me- a superheroine!" Nisa retorted, defiant of Underling's categorization.
"Transforming musclehead? You must mean Neb-Neb!" Compa clicked. She was right in believing that they were already there!
"Uh-huh... Hey, it's you all! When did you find me?! What the hell? How?!" Underling asked as she would question the circumstances.
"We weren't looking for you, but this commotion you're causing makes you stick out like a sore thumb. And now that we've found you, we can't let you get away." IF told the ASIC grunt.
"Damnit, this could be bad...!" Underling stated as she looked around. It would be for something, anything that could be used as a distraction.
She then set her eyes on an unsuspecting Rom, who had been separated from her sister and would be walking alone in the streets.
"You've been caught red-handed, villain! Today the judges of justice will give you their verdict!" Nisa announced as she got ready for a fight.
But Underling had other plans as she called out to Rom.
"Hey, you! Stray kid!" The ASIC grunt called.
"Huh?" Rom reacted as she grabbed Underling's side as the little girl was pulled by her.
"Don't move. You're my ticket outta this mess. You all better not try anything or the kid gets it!..." Underling warned as she took the CPU Candidate as her hostage.
"Back to basics, huh? How cliché." IF stated with a flat tone as she, along with the rest of the group would be in a situation now.
"Leave that child out of this! She has nothing to do with any of this!" Nepgear yelled as she tried to negotiate, as useless as it was.
"Shaddup! ASIC is all about playin' dirty now! Now if you'll excuse me...!" Underling lead on as she took Rom away with her.
"H-Help me, Ram!" Rom cried out as she sobbed, being carried away as the two of them fled from the group of 4.
"W-What should we do?! Underling just kidnapped a little tyke!" Compa stated the obvious.
"As a superheroine, I cannot let this villainy persist!" Nisa nodded with determination as she got ready to chase the duo as plans changed.
CHASE!

...
"Yeah, let's go after her!" Nepgear told the group as the quartet rushed after the pair of Underling and Rom, as they ran out of Lowee proper.
Ram soon appeared as the group left, looking for her sister.
"Rom? Hey, Rom!" She called out, but no response came. She then became annoyed as her sister was nowhere to be found.
"Jeez, I told her to stay right here. Mina wanted us to stick together!" Ram huffed as she followed the path that the others and Underling took as she continued looking for her sister.
FOLLOW!

...
And after she left, three twinkles that were blue, white and fiery orange would be visible in the sky.
TWINKLE!..
TWINKLE!..
TWINKLE!...
The twinkles then became streaks as they were the figures of the gods and the flame user flying over Lowee.
WOOSH!
"Any sign of our supposed allies, Nebula!" Edge Heart inquired.
"Not yet, but they're heading west!" Brave Heart responded as he stops in his tracks.
BOOST!
"West?! Anyone ready for a journey?" AL informed as he outstretched a hand as he blasted into the west before being trailed by Brave Heart.
FLY!
"That was a shit pun and you know it!" The blue-haired god yelled with fervor as he followed suit.
ZOOM!
"Here we go once more...!" Edge Heart redirected his positioning as he zoomed into the cardinal direction behind AL and Brave Heart once more.
A/N:
Heya there, reader!
If you're seeing this, this is a rewrite of the chapter, just to correct some repetition, fix some spelling errors, and improve the spelling quality, especially in the earlier chapters.
So remember, italics and bold is going for gold.
And the plot thickens!
Kars was a fun match-up to write, mostly because of the referencing from Parts 1 and 2 with his moves. And there's no way in hell that this is gonna be his last appearance. The guy has too much potential.
Speaking of potential, the potentially problematic confrontation between the twins and Nepgear is approaching us as they finally enter the Lowee Arc!
Will our OCs ease their dilemmas?
Probably not, but they'll bring popcorn. Or will retroactively solve the problem through memes. It could go 50/50. Neppit 50/50-
I'll stop now.
Arrivederci.
