Kyoto report # 16: Elemental affinities
Even thought mana is considered a form of energy. It seems that it can somehow be manipulated into elements.
For some reason magical girls can all be categorized in this method. The elements of Light, Darkness, Water, Fire, Wood, and Void with strengths and weaknesses along those lines.
Although due to their nature most magical girls will die before being able to perform elemental releases.
It seems that the concept of the classical elements was derived in some way from this. Although altered for some reason.
There seems to be other elements as well.
Among them common ones like lightning, earth, wind, and psychic. Rare ones like ice, poison, and gravity. And Divine and Time or the power of the gods and creation and the power of entropy and destruction.
There could be other releases as well. But the sample pool is still too small to be certain.
ADDENDUM
Our research states that multiple elemental releases are possible, and that the elements can be changed.
KRF-000 has proven said previous theories during system testing.
Not only has his element transformed from Darkness to Time
But he seems to posses the ability to at least mimic fire and lightning releases.
With KRF-000 it will be possible to finally bring hope to the world.
Finally the universe will be saved from the curse of Pandora's box
Project Pandora. An endeavor that spanned the entirety of history and the whole universe. Born out of the desire for eternal peace of the Reibai Emperor and his unforgiving hatred for evil. It is composed of several stages. First the liberation and cleansing of the Incubators. Second the carbonization or the merging of organic life and mechanical life of the populace over a millennia of subtle genetic alterations. Third the purge of any remaining opposition and dissenters for their souls will power the time machine. And fourth returning to the past and removing the causes of evil. The obliteration of Incubaa followed by the elimination of the Goddess and the Calamity before they became a threat. These events will rewrite the history of the cosmos and save the universe. Of course the subject that triggers Pandora will also seize to exist. But that has been calculated as an acceptable loss.
It is now the year 8932 of the second history. And now the universe will be transformed once more. With the destruction of Incubaa the universe will be reset into one where the conflicts between Reibai and Incubator never happened. Where Puella Magi and the Calamity Homun never existed.

Jul 13 s.h. 8932, Green Tower beach
Sayaka and Kyoko are still inside the wreckage of their ship. With things only getting worse with armies of killer robots. As Kyoko having realized the connection between Kagemusha and Homura has essentially barricaded herself along with the still unconscious Sayaka in the medbay. With Kyoko grabbing anything she could for protection including a pot that she uses as a helmet and is forced to cook and eat her deceased comrades to survive. Complete with an elaborate open field campfire.
As Kyoko consumes Holly Cascade's ribs with some A-1 steak sauce she found she frowns and bemoans. "Ugh! I can't believe I stooped to Homura's level and started eating people!" After a moment of silence Kyoko quiets down remarking. "That did not sound right at all. Don't you agree Mr. Skullhead?" Kyoko is basically talking to the picked clean skeleton of Tomio Gordon. Having eaten him first. With the skeleton having a plate with a pair of kebabs made from Tomio's meat and the others eyeballs that has gone cold. The magical girl gone mad then asks the skeleton. "Aren't you gonna eat that? I need something to cleanse my palate after having Polynesian." Kyoko then looks at Holly's half eaten corpse alongside Momoe Taro's which also has parts eaten off. "Oh call headquarters you say Mr. Skullhead? I tried but for some reason the comms aren't picking up. Honestly i'm no good with tech. I always let Sayaka or Holly handle that stuff." Another series of explosions rock the Satoshi as the lights flicker on and off. "This place is holding up for now but. Sayaka wake up already."
Settlement Kanna and its surrounding areas
We continue the battle occurring in the Bazaar where Omega and Cider were dueling each other. Trading blows as Omega tried to gain distance to use his guns only for Cider to keep pace and continue the offensive. All the while Gamma searches Genma's location as sniper fire hounds him across the rooftops of the city. Omega as he is consistently pressured by Cider's swordplay. Is forced to use his fists and engage in close combat. The E-100 was at an obvious disadvantage as for all of his raw power. He could not hit his opponent as she danced around him while Omega's fists hammer the bazaar's stalls and buildings as the populace is fleeing to the underground shelters in terror.
Cider simply leapt around Omega while yelling at him. "You're too slow!" Every time she performs a dodge and counterattack. Killing the stronger and bulkier robot with a thousand cuts. Until managing to punch the dragonkin in a fit of rage stating. "That is so annoying." Before firing off a barrage of missiles at her that not only strike Cider but the sheer volume of missiles destroys an entire street full of houses and buildings collapsing everything into the ground. As Omega gloats once more. "Did you see that! I am E-123 Omega! I will destroy you! I will destroy your team! You will be a mere footnote in my story as I achieve the vengeance against Eggman that is rightfully mine!" As the dust clears it is revealed that what was blown up was just a scarecrow much to Omega's rage. "Substitution jutsu huh?" Cider then appears behind him once more as she rams her sword into Omega's thrusters causing a number of explosions that blow out his booster and causes Omega to short out for a while. Omega in desperation leaps away and fires off his flamethrowers at the ground. Cider cuts thru the flames as she chases the fleeing robot who uses his gattling guns to fire back. While Cider blocks most of the shots a good number do hit their mark until she falls to her knees in pain. Omega then pulls out a flail and launches it hoping to obtain a kill. Only for Cider to use substitution again with another scarecrow being demolished by the massive large metal flail.
A worried Cider hides in the recently made ruins as Omega screams to the skies that she show herself. "Sister is busy with the other. I need to regain tempo." Then she remembers of an alleyway where she could gain an advantage. As for Omega... "Get out right now before I turn this place into a burning wasteland! Which is the same as it is now, only on fire." Cider jumps out, moons Omega while spanking her butt and yells. "Kiss my ass bitch! I'm immortal!" Before running off as Omega gets even angrier. "Did that shit just moon me! And she's immortal! I'll kill her!" Before realizing what is happening and tries to rocket off after her only for the jets to smoke out. Forcing Omega to run after her. Eventually the two reached the closed off alleyway with Cider panicking as she is stuck with the E-100 series. As he prepared his Gatling guns, ready for the kill as Cider freaks out. "Now, i'm gonna Luciano your ass." Omega fires his gun s destroying the wall. With Cider swiftly jumping off as she bounces on the walls with Omega firing his guns trying to hit her as the building collapse around while Cider escapes and Omega is buried by rubble. With the former drawing her sword stabbing the latter in the stomach when Omega powers out of the robot.
At the exact same time Gamma was flying around the rooftops scanning the area to find Genma. All the while the dragonkin girl headed to another sniping position all the while activating a decoy which Gamma notices and shoots down leaving a massive explosion to which Gamma flew to. All the way Genma was headed for the high ground. Which was a cliff side where numerous buildings where built on. As Gamma notices that the target was a decoy he summoned several funnels which spread all across the battlefield vanished. Meanwhile Gemna readied her cannon as the moth eyes of her suit glowed. Serving as high powered binoculars that aided in both tracking and calculating trajectories. While HUD's were standard on drivers. Ever since the magical girl war when the system proved to be capable of turning anyone into a super soldier and served as the great equalizer against the incubators. But these are special variants designed for high precision sniping. As the sensors focus on Gamma. All the while charging the shot in the hopes that the robot will have his entire head blown off in one shot. As Genma fired the shot. Gamma ended up dodging and taking cover and the building behind him explodes in a spectacular manner.
Gamma remarks. "So, that's where she's hiding as he mentally commands the funnels to head to the cliff as he prepare to make a dash of it. Jumping past another building destroying charge shot and making a run for it. All the while moving in a zigzag manner to prevent further lock-ons from the mysterious sniper gunning for his head. Meanwhile in the cliff side building. Genma notices and switches tactics but not before complimenting the robot. "I see we have a decent sniper here." Something that is confirmed as Gamma fires off his own volleys forcing Genma to move to another location. Accurately hitting the window that she was using as vantage point from about half a mile away. With the shots blowing up the roof and piercing bedrock above it confirming her remarks and encouraging her to start running. Unaware that one of Gamma's funnels has found her and is now following her.
Meanwhile as Gamma continues his mad dash toward the enemy he is confronted by aerial type Sumeragi's who attempt to swarm the robot. But Gamma with the same skills he used previously aims his chaos launchers in both his arms and shoulders to shoot down everyone with ease. Rotating the shoulder cannons to take out enemies above and behind him. And using his arm cannons to shoot down the rest as he continues without slowing down. All the while Genma repositions herself around the entrance closest to Gamma. Hoping to gun him down with her cannon as she begins to charge and aim her shot. Gamma is informed that the funnels are in position and before whispering. "I found you." And firing off his funnels in all directions striking down Genma and damaging her weapon which causes her transformation to flicker on and off. And to finish it off Gamma begins charging his own shot.
Ost: Tsuode, Hoshi no Kagayaki, Magical girl lyrical Nanoha
Gamma plants his feet in the ground as an ever growing ball of energy gathers around him glowing like a star. Genma completely freaking out. "He has a charge shot?! But how?! They were supposed to lose! GAMMA!" The dragonkin screams in betrayed ire as the energy ball finishes charging and Gamma replies with. "I'm not one of you, not anymore! Mettalica Breakeeeeeeeeer!" At the same time the orb explodes becoming a massive wave motion cannon that rockets toward Genma's location who can only panic and flee as the shot reaches her and blasts thru the entire mountain. Leaving a massive round hole from one end to another. As the building she was on crumbles. And after all that a still alive but demorphed Genma is sent flying into the sky before crashing at the other end of the colony. With her weapon destroyed and herself now powerless. As the dome's security systems scramble to repair the breach in the hull that the blast caused. After finishing his attack, whose heat caused Gamma to vent hot steam and short out before falling to his knees. "I am never doing that again." When a flash passes thru the robot's mind. Alerting him that Omega is in danger. "My newtype senses are tingling. Which is strange since I'm not in UC Gundam. That, and i'm a robot... Nevermind, gotta go!" Gamma then gets up and flies away to the bazaar. Meanwhile on the other side of the dome. Which is more farmland. A still alive Genma lies buried head first in a carrot patch with the farmer screaming at her to get out of her field.
Back at the battle between Cider and Omega. The former has the latter at her mercy as she prepares to kill Omega who is struggling to escape the debris. Aiming her sword at the robot's head and preparing to stab him to death. But before she did that she decided to ask for Omega's last words to which he replied. "Dodge." Cider stops for a moment to question what is going on, when a sniper round shatters the blade of her sword and leaves a smoking crater in front of her feet. When Gamma lands to support Omega who finally breaks out of the rubble. "What kept you?" "That girl was tougher than expected." As sparks surged across Gamma's body he then says. "I had to overclock my systems to beat her." A shocked Cider screams. "Gamma you traitor! What did you say you did to my sister?!" "Like I said. I blasted her away." Cider's rage erupts as she emits a blood red aura with glowing gold eyes. "You and Monika! How dare you take their side?! The side of the damn Earthlings!" As numerous blood red orbs are manifested around her. Gamma and Omega nod silently in agreement as Cider fires off her attack. "Orochi style! Zetsumetsu!" The orbs launch and explode launching countless energy balls that are like buckshot which explode on impact. Taking out half of the bazaar in one go. And lighting the rest on fire. As the smoke clears the two robots have disappeared leaving Cider to laugh maniacally believing that they are dead. Only for Gamma to put her in a full nelson much to her surprise while Omega readies his cannons and begins charging a chaos blast. At seeing this Cider just laughs stating. "You know you're going to die too right?" Gamma merely stays silent as Omega fires a massive beam that consumes the other two essentially disintegrating the two. With Cider laughing maniacally while Gamma merely whispers. "I'm sorry Amy..." Before being vaporized alongside Cider. The explosion annihilates all that is left as Omega's arms explode as he collapses and shuts down.
Cider Vy and Genma Vy vs. E-102 Gamma and E-123 Omega: All fighters eliminated. E-102 Gamma and Cider Vy are confirmed dead
The fight between Babaa against both Silver and Naugus has also begun as both Babaa and Naugus unleash their magical might against each other. Leading the young hedgehog to take cover in one of the entrances lest he also get blasted by accident. "This is crazy! I can't believe that Ixis mages are so strong!" Silver thinks back to his younger days. In the burning ruins of the future that were consumed by the flames of disaster. Where he met an elderly mammoth by the name of Mogul. Who trained him in the use of his psychic abilities. At that time he was old and blind. Barely able to move from his hideaway. While Mogul told him stories of the past tales of heroes like Sonic the hedgehog. But he never believed that such stories were true. After all if such powerful and heroic individuals existed. Then why has the world been in flames for so long. To the point where civilization had completely collapsed and with a world that is slowly dying.
Then he came along, Mephiles the dark. Convincing me and my best friend Blaze four the cat. To go to the past and kill the Iblis Trigger. But when he got there he was separated from everyone and was wondering the lands of Soleanna for months. Until discovering a crying child that had lost her father. Silver befriended that young girl who turned out to be princess of Soleana and eventually stayed in the castle essentially becoming an older brother of sorts to Elise. As time passed and no Iblis trigger appeared Silver just forgot about his goals and ended up becoming a royal guard of Soleanna. Tasked with protecting the now Queen Elise from danger. Then he was asked by the Queen to head to the Acorn archipelago. To both serve as an ambassador and to be part of the Resistance. Which led to his current station in life.
Brought back to reality by a massive series of explosions. Silver watches on in awe as the two mages continue their fight in the skies above until they begin piercing the moon rock and head to the surface. Leaving Silver alone and in shock. As rubble falls into the ground and the exit that led to the tower collapses due to said rubble. Leaving Silver unable to move forward as he is forced to flee the collapsing stadium leaving it in ruins. As for Naugus and Babaa they continued fighting even as they rose upward and displaced countless tons of rock with their spells which caused earthquakes around the tower and dome until they erupted from the ground to continue fighting. Breaking thru a solid three miles of bedrock to do so. Something that Naugus noticed as the two were actually flying above the city. "So, this whole thing was a trap wasn't it? To slow us down by running all over the moon while facing the enemy generals?" Babaa merely cackles confirming the theory. "Clever boy. You should be grateful though. It is because our master cares for Sonic that you will given merciful ends. Unlike what happened with Eggman and the other villains." "What?!" "Oh yes, Anti must be finished with his cleanup of the Egg citadel and is moving on to permanently deal with the remaining rogues." "There are more of you?! And what's this about Sonic." Naugus screams in shock. "I'm sure you saw it too. Kagemusha, no Homura is basing his schemes on the ideals of Sonic the hedgehog." "Preposterous! The quickster would never approve of this." Babaa simply laughs and states. "All you need Naugus. Is one bad day. And the ideals of freedom, peace, and justice become a justification for genocide."
Babaa then fires out a spread shot of crystal that Naugus tries to block only for his barrier to be consumed and taken over by the crystals trapping him. "That's it! Choke on my vengeance Ixian filth!" When Naugus appeared from a shadow in the ground and blasted the elderly dragonkin in the back with a fireball. After several moments of stumbling and screaming in pain. Naugus fires a massive fireball known as Majestic phoenix only for Babaa to spit out an ocean of water that dissipates the fireball and proceeds to flood the streets. Washing away the Ixian as Babaa summons storm clouds from thin air, claps her hands together and screams Indra's arrow which causes a barrage of lightning bolts to strike and electrify the water below as it washes leaving a choking and electrocuted old troll gasping for breath. The amused elder drops down to Walter's level as she gleefully boasts to the old man. "So how does it feel to be a washed up geezer?" Naugus simply retorts. "You talk too much." As his right arm stretches toward a shocked Babaa with his left hand turning into a massive crab claw that grabs the old lady before chucking her into some buildings. As the two fly upwards striking at each other with lightning attacks. Crisscrossing across the sky before clashing with fire and lightning punches between them which caused a massive explosion.
Both characters are battered and bruised at this point while flying in the skies. Naugus takes the battle into the ground as he led the old woman to a part of the town where several shadows are located. Making the alien believe that she was driving her into a corner. Babaa herself was proud and cocky as she readied a pair of shivs made of crystal while juggling them. "So how is this for an ironic death stud?" And she throws the shivs in the hopes of killing Naugus who used his powers to sink into the shadows much to Babaa's surprise as the crystal spreads across the building and shatters it. Leaving an opening that Walter used to strike from the shadows. Jumping and diving like a dolphin thru the shadows as he blasted Babaa over and over again. "What the hell is this?!" A shocked Babaa states to which Walter explains. "Shadow walk. With this magic I can used the shadows to teleport..." Then the shadows lash towards Babaa, binding her with the local shadows as Naugus leaves the shadows and attempts to strangle his enemy. Babaa in a panic created a massive explosion of light. Destroying the shadows and leaving everything surrounding in a one mile radius into dust and leaving the troll gravely injured, bleeding, burnt, and losing his left arm completely. The wound cauterized by the explosion and his hat and cloak vaporized leaving only his purple suit and black boots intact as he struggled to get up and fight. While Babaa is exhausted by the explosion. With her mask cracking into pieces and revealing her mutated face for all to see. "Curses, that was close..." With Babaa turning on Naugus in a rage. Allowing her body to not only crystallize but sprout numerous spikes in both of her arms in order to kill Naugus once and for all. Becoming a green crystal devil in appearance, horns and all. "That's it! Everyone FUCKING dies!" Babaa then runs towards Naugus until she uses her spikes to pierce his heart all the while screaming in a blood lusted rage. "I'll kill you! I'll kill your family! I'll kill your ancestors! Again!" Only for Naugus to laugh and state. "So, this is how the quickster feels?" Before teleporting the two into outer space. Where Babaa quickly starts choking from exposure. Only for Naugus to start glowing with Babaa realizing that she is screwed as Naugus explodes in a spectacular manner taking down both combatants and leaving nothing but space dust and crystals. Walter Naugus final thoughts were...
"Maybe being a good guy isn't so bad..."
Babaa Vy vs. Ixis Walter Naugus: Both fighters KIA
The battle in the bridge was even more chaotic. As Tsubasa used the enslaved Orochi to flat out stomp Khan and Gemerl out of existence. All the while the three Sumeragi generals tried to assist him only to be stopped by Mighty, Ray, and Gadget. Who eventually managed to isolate the generals into one on one battles. With Mighty facing off against Firewall as the two clash in a contest of power. Gadget using his zip lines to maintain his distance against the speedy kickback. And Ray doing his best to avoid Air Raid's onslaught of attacks.
Mighty and Firewall are trying to overpower each other. With Firewall being impressed by Mighty's physical might. "Not bad friend. Your power is impressive." As the two stalemated until Mighty kicked himself away while avoiding Firewall's shoulder cannon. Circling around the robot, Mighty attempted to spin attack his foe. Only for Firewall to grab Mighty and then kick him away like a ball before firing off all of his weapons in an alpha strike maneuver. Firing of his cannon, arm blasters, missiles, and vulcan cannons. "Hail Alpha!" Causing a massive series of explosions across the bedrock. Only for Mighty to survive and bounce off the walls. With Firewall's weapons bouncing off Mighty's shell. Until plowing onto the Sumeragi general straight in the gut. Slamming him into a stone wall and with enough force to shatter stone.
"You should stop now." Mighty remarks as Firewall gets up noting. "I truly despise close range combat." As the robot fires off a smokescreen blinding the armadillo as Firewall transforms his hands into Gatlings guns before firing them off at the smoke. Only for him to notice that the armadillo curled up into a ball, spin dashing onto the crimson robot again forcing him back for the first time until Firewall flies off onto a larger platform as Mighty followed. With both sides going onto a cross counter as they punch each others faces. Firing off nets that finally capture the armadillo. Firewall fires off a powerful shot from his cannon. Finally damaging Mighty as he then breaks out of the nets. Runs up the cavern walls as Firewall continues peppering him gunfire, Until a swift jump that allows Mighty to grab the shoulder cannon. Flip over his foe and then tear the shoulder mounted weapon from the joints for good measure. As green energy particles and fluids spread on the floor. "You have to stop this! We don't have to keep fighting!" Firewall then shoots Mighty in a rage before stating. "You tore off my cannon! You die!" And then readies his Gatling guns again while Mighty curls up into a ball. Firewall comments. "Predictable." And fires off armor piercing bullets that tear thru Mighty's shell. Causing him to collapse and bleed as his shell was torn to shreds.
Firewall then grabs Mighty by the head. And with a glowing red eye remarked. "So, how does it feel?" As the crimson robot attempting to crush his skull with his bare hands. Cracking his shell even further until kicking Firewall in the chest and head multiple times. And using the confusion crushes Firewall's wrists and escapes managing to escape. As the robot looks at the other fights and then seeing the lava below. He decides on a last ditch by firing off another pair of net missiles from his legs. Which the armadillo dodges. Before transforming his cannons into flexible robs that manage to bind, electrocute, and burn his foe before dragging himself and Mighty into the lava below beginning a ferocious tug of war. Maintaining the electrocutions all the way before saying. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you, father..." Which shocks Mighty to the core causing him to lose the struggle as both plummet into a sea of molten rock. With Firewall managing to be at peace while Mighty regretted not understanding his enemy as both of them melted away and died.
Ray was gliding all over the arena. Using the super heated air to maintain altitude as an increasingly frustrated Air Raid. "Hurry up and get downed you little brat! The burning hot magma would like to give you a hug!" Ray replies with a snarky and nervous. "How about no?" Which ticks off Air Raid even more. Summoning an artificial bio dragon from the tower. From which the robot mounts as it flies to the battlefield and starts firing off arrows of light that made things worse. "How in the world does that work?!" Ray complains as he avoids a barrage of homing lasers. "A mutated Coolia imbued with the Heresy program! Technology brought about by the Precursors! Just like the towers!"
The "dragon" or the Mass Production Panzer Dragoon or MP Dragoon. Was a creature based on the Type-01 Solo Wing or the blue dragon. A winged bipedal dragon with bony armor plating. Only gray skinned and with a much shorter horn. Who gives chase to the flying squirrel who is forced to touch ground and flee into another bridge that wasn't broken. Avoiding sweeping dives from the dragon and its homing lasers with a perfect dodge technique over and over again. Much to Air Raid's frustration who simply flied upward and used the dragon's berserk strike. A rain of light arrows that spread across the nearby battlefield. Destroying a lot of the bridge support and causing it to crack in several spots. Unaware that Ray used the collapsing structures to not only avoid the attacks but jump onto the dragon's head. And use. "Solar Flare!" A blinding flash that incapacitates the dragon and causes him to rampage to the point where Air Raid was forced to dismount him and send him back to the tower. "How in the metal hell did you do that?!" Ray after cringing in fear for a moment stuttered. "Why do you think i'm called Ray? My power is controlling light." Then Ray just vanishes to the shock of Air Raid. "Invisibility huh? Well even if you can bend light around you. You can't hide your heat signature. Eat seekers bitch!" Air Raid then shoots of a barrage of heat seeking missiles that manage to track Ray and shoot him down. Causing him to crash on the bridge all the while Air Raid fires off another barrage of missiles. Only for Ray to vanish again. "Didn't you learn anything you little brat?!" Only for Air Raid's arrogance to turn into confusion as the missiles turned towards him. Air Raid then notices that Ray was clinging on to his back. But it was too late as the missiles tore thru Air Raid as Ray flash stepped out of the line of fire. Reducing the general into scrap. With the exhausted Ray just falling into exhaustion as he tries to communicate with Mighty only to witness his final moments in horror.
Gadget and Kickback are in the middle of a stand off in the middle of yet another bridge. Where the two merely stare at each other as they kept their weapons in their holsters waiting to see who shoots first. With Kickback then asking. "So, strong silent type?" To which Gadget just nods silently in response as the two draw their guns and fire. With the blasts hitting each other and exploding as Kickback rides off and attempts to strafe the wolf with his rapid fire arm mounted cannons. With Gadget using his grapple to whip away the shots. Causing even more explosions much to the surprise of the motorcycle robot. "How is this rookie so skilled?" Kickback speeds up in the hope of gutting the wolf only to go so fast that Gadget dodges the shot and it lands square on Kickback's chest. Laying him flat on the ground. As the robot gets up he remarks. "Time for a new strategy." Only for Gadget to boost and plow towards him. "A boost? Impossible!" Slamming both of them so hard that the scaffolding shatters and collapses into the lava below. In desperation Kickback bear hugs his opponent before stating. "You are too dangerous to live." As his body begins to fall apart while Gadget tries to escape but unable to due to his limited physical strange as the robot overloaded his systems and violently exploded. With the wolf being caught in Kickback's self destruction. Kickback was destroyed while Gadget is launched into the air, crashing into the bridge leaving him gravely injured.
Tsubasa's slaved Orochi stayed in the middle of the broken bridge firing off lasers to hit Gemerl and Monket Khan. With the former dodging the blasts and the latter deflecting the blasts with his staff. Unfortunately the deflected beams bounce off Orochi's armor. Gemerl also fires missiles only to no avail as the two retreat to nearby cover. "There's nothing left to do but go for the head." Gemerl remarks with Mokey remarking. "The problem is the covering fire." Gemerl sighs sorrowfully and remarks. "I'll distract him Khan. You go for the head." "What, that's crazy! You'll be blown to scrap!" "I know... Thank you, for everything." The robot then jumps out of the fallen pillar and firing off missiles, lasers, and gunshots. Before going into a copied V. Maximum overdrive buzzing around the beams like a buzzing fly. Meanwhile Khan grits himself and readies himself to climb the colossus. Avoiding detection as he leaps off the bridge and grabs onto the giant robot. Beginning his climb up an enslaved god. "Climbing up an evil robot god to take down a creepy bishonen with a katana. Not how I expected to spend my day today. I just hope we manage to hold the line for Sonic and the others." Khan then notices a number of explosions in the distance where the other fights took place which worries him even more.
Tsubasa tired of the robot fly sipping around him. Simply decides to punch Gemerl with his big steely fists. Only for the machine to match and counter his blows. "Interesting." The former Orochi thought. "Is a shame that I need to stay here to control Orochi. Otherwise I would fight him myself. Still the three general have fallen. Two with double knock outs and the third getting blown up by a kid. Doesn't matter. After all as long as the towers are active all the lost soldiers will be revived. Including myself." Tsubasa then takes the reins to prepare another one of Orochi's abilities as giant snake constructs lunge and chase Gemerl spitting corrosive poison into the air as they chase their prey. Gemerl fires back by spin dashing thru the snakes only to be hit by the corrosion which damages his frame and causes him to take damage. "Not the best idea." Sensing weakness Tsubasa concentrates all fire of the enemy who draws up a barrier to block the barrage. Followed by punch after punch which crippled the barrier until it shattered and smacked down Gemerl. "It's over." Tsubasa remarked as he prepared to slam his fists on the robot who remarked. "I guess this is it..." As he prepared to die.
"Never!" Monkey Khan screamed as he leapt to smack down Tsubasa only to be stopped by the latter's sword. With Khan continuing his strikes which are met by Tsubasa's sword. Even as the blows sped up to supersonic speeds. Meanwhile Gemerl regained his composure as Tsubasa was distracted. Stopping the mecha in its tracks. Noticing the situation Gemerl thought. "Sorry Cream, I need to do this." Then speaking out a chant as he gathered his power which gathered onto an energy wave. "The servers are the seven chaos. Chaos is power, power is enriched by the heart. The controller serves to unify the chaos." The energy wave glows emerald green as the power begins to overload. "Let's go! Emerald wave!" Firing a massive energy wave that is several times larger than Gemerl which plows straight thru Yamato no Orochi. Causing it ti explode and fall apart much to Tsubasa's shock. "No! This can't be!" Khan then uses his staff to smack Tsubasa's head causing him to fall down and Orochi fell and sank into the lava. And causing Gemerl to collapse and shut down.
Khan also bails and hurries to help Gemerl up. "You'll be alright buddy! We'll get you out of it." Only for a beam to pierce Gemerl's chest causing it to smoke out and then a beam between the eyes killing it. Khan turns to notice that Tsubasa has done the died firing sword beams at Khan as well. Which he flips away from. "I will fucking end you monkey!" "You son of a bitch!" Monkey screams as he rushes headfirst to smash Tsubasa who simply smiles back. "How predictable. Orochi style, Yatsu no Onokoshizuchi!" Causing his sword to become reflective like a mirror. Blinding Khan and making his open for a brutal counter. Tossing him into the towers door as Tsubasa readies his sword in a thrusting position. "Izuhara no Tamazuchi!" Firing off a flurry of sword beams exactly like the ones that killed Gemerl. Skewering Khan brutally and smashing his into the door repeatedly. "Bwahahahaa! This is great! I haven't killed anyone in a long time!" Khan counters with. "You're evil!" "Of course! I'm a serial killer that committed every crime under the sun! I only agreed to this because I was wanted by the IFS for murder! But now I will have a world where I can kill to my heart's content! With the Orochi style I creatd, I'm fucking invincible!"
Summoning his righteous anger. Monkey Khan got up and began walking towards Tsubasa who continued with his Izuhara barrage only for the attack to have no effect. "How is this possible? I had you beaten!" Tsubasa remarks who is finally starting to lose his cool. His opponent who is in a state of tranquil fury merely keeps going forward. "Of course it hurts. It hurts like hell. But i'm too angry to die. Not until I beat the crap out of you." Tsubasa then stops his attacks before leaping into the air and preparing an aerial strike supercharged with wind and lightning as a tornado forms above him. "Take no Yamikazuchi!" Kong replies by aiming his staff and stating. "Naive. Awaken! Ryui Jingu Bang!" Khan's staff then transforms into the staff of legend. Like the unleashing of a noble phantasm as he causes it to grow in size. Smacking Tsubasa into his own tornado where he is slashed by the raging winds. Khan then summons the Jindoyun. The nimbus cloud that Sun Wukong once rode before delivering his own boast as he sped towards the tornado. "I am Monkey Khan! Descendant of Sun Wukong the victorious fighting Buddha himself! You messed with my friends! Now pay the prize villain!" As he fired his staff once more now big enough to slam into Tsubasa until it became long enough to reach the cave's roof. Smashing the former first neck like a bug. Leaving what's left of the body stuck on the floor dripping blood. As Khan looked on in satisfaction. He then headed towards Gemerl and stayed with him. Mourning the loss of his friends. As he discovered their fates. With Mighty and Gadget dead and Ray broken.

As the remaining group climbed up the Tower fighting off an ever increasing horde of Galat types and even Pure type beasts being sent it. Aside from Galats, Galaxs all known Sumeragi variants and MP Dragoons they faced Galabs which are long range bombardment types, Golias tiger like monsters which serve as seek and destroy enemies with bony armor and scythes in their heads, Quopa flying bird like monsters that aid the fliers with their lasers, Catharps who are assault types who are truly monstrous quadrupeds that can stand on two feet to smack around people and have a large intimidating red mono eye for a face who are ten feet tall each and Degla ship like monsters that are designed for tower defense and carry proton bombs which they drop with great accuracy before running away.
All of them get demolished with Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles doing the heavy lifting until finally reaching the towers control area where the horde just stopped chasing. Instead spreading out to cover the area blocking off any escape routes. Knuckles comments about it asking why did they stop with Shadow saying. "This is too easy." When cello music begins to play in the distance as a young blond girl wearing a mask reveals herself while playing said instrument. Sonic steps forward and tells the girl. "That's a nice song kid. But would you mind stepping aside so we can kick more robot butt?" The girl stops playing and responds. "This is no mere song. This is a requiem." Suddenly the resistance explodes as multiple small explosions cover their bodies causing them to fall. All the while Monika looks on fear at the sight of her opponent saying. "Not you too!"
The girl then introduces herself as the mask retracts revealing the sorrowful eyes of a young girl. "Himeko Kurusugawa. Guardian of the eight tower. For Chikage's sake, please die. That includes you as well, Monika." Then another set of explosions consume Sonic and friends as the music plays again. All the while Chikage watches on hiding in the distance wondering what to do. Wearing palpable fear and concern in her face.
Sonic the hedgehog, Miles Tails Prower, Knuckles the echidna, Amy Rose, Shadow the hedgehog, and Rouge the bat to vs. Himeko Kurusugawa and Chikane Himemiya: Battle has commenced.
A short time later
After the battles were done Genma Vy struggled to return to the bazaar area and reunite with her sister. Running thru the devastated city and the shocked and horrified civilian populace that was let out. Only to find a crowd gathered in the ruins and coroners carrying off Cider's corpse. An irate Genma demands an explanation when she hears the news from an elderly dragonkin male. "Apparently both Cider-chan, Babaa-sama, and Tsubasa-kun are dead." A revelation that horrified Genma upon hearing as she collapses on her knees and begins to cry. The old man tried to comfort her but to no avail as Genma took off her glasses only to crush them with her bare hands. The shattered lens burying themselves into her right hand causing her too bleed to the concern of the crowd as she screams to the sky. "Revenge! Those animals from Earth will pay! We will be avenged! Revenge!" To which many of the crowd agreed to much to the old man's horror as they chanted and screamed for vengeance upon Mobius itself.
Meanwhile in Castle Blade
Kagemusha now wearing her mask once again alongside Lepard are watching all the battles that are happening around the tower with Lepard noticing that Cider, Babaa and Tsubasa were dead. Kagemusha mostly shrugged it off stating. "Outside of Cider and Genma we aren't losing much. Hell, if by some miracle Tsubasa lived I would personally kill him. Or let Chikage do the honors." A shocked Lepard stated. "You expected them to lose sir.?!" To which the masked woman reprimands her subordinate by explaining. "They are going up against Sonic the hedgehog. If anything I can't believe they thinned their numbers down this much. If the Resistance all fought together they would have steamrolled our defenses. I sent them there to stall Sonic until I can destroy Incubaa." After a moment of silence Lepard replies. "It's good that we can resurrect then. So I suppose we will be deleting Babaa and Tsubasa's backups?" "Please do Lepard. Also recall Anti as I want him to guard the time machine." Lepard heads to the console to do the deed reminding Kagemusha to hurry and leave. "Don't worry i'm going already. Don't wait up my friend, for tonight I have a date, with destiny!
Kagemusha then heads outside and heads to the tower witnessing Abbagon flying around surveying the area. As heads up a lift that takes her to a massive starpost facility inside a large floating saucer which also holds within it the prototype time machine which she used for experiments. As Kagemusha activates the machine she overlooks the frozen world she's one and boasts. "I am alpha and Omega. Beginning and the end. I am all that was, what will be, and what is yet to come. And you shall know my name as Kagemusha. As I lay mans vengeance upon you!" The machine activates and takes away Kagemusha somewhere.
To be continued.
While Holly being of Polynesian descent is mostly a cannibal joke. She is canonically of said ethnicity. She's essentially half Atlantan and half ethnic Polynesian. While Momoe is half human and half/elf. With their friendship being born from discrimination over being half breeds. With Holly being born in the colony world of Cascade and Momoe being Aselian.
As explained by Air Raid the Precursors are not related to the Ancients who are a pre-evolution of the Chao and Chaos. And are a splinter group of the Ancients of Panzer Dragoon who fled their world and landed in several worlds like Reibai. Mutating the animals into the Anim, the Reibai, and the Zoah. With the current towers being reverse engineered to serve as planetary restoration devices and as space elevators. With each tower having a vast interconnected underground network and powered by either geothermal energy or solar energy. Due to their importance they possess no magitechnology and stand alone systems that prevent hacking or sabotage.
While the Precursors did free their respective slaves before going extinct. Much of their technology was lost until the Emperor of Reibai rediscovered the technology and used it to create the modern towers. With the prototype system being used of Reibai and Earth. And more refined systems later on. The seven towers were also made to hide the Chaos emeralds even though enough Chaos radiation was around to create the Mobian race. And offshoot of the anim with unusual powers and abilities.
While the Sestren program was also discovered it was instead decided to create guardians for each tower. Either artificial beings created to manage the towers. Or living beings who were chosen to do so as well. Having complete control of their respective towers. With the exception of certain circumstance. While it is not advised to abandon the tower without appointing a substitute. By the time the Tower guardians of Mobius left and both the automated functions as well as the ecosystem itself could manage the environment without supervision.
Also the terms Ancients and Precursors are actually nicknames. Although the name of the ancients isn't known its suggested to be the Chaos. While the Precursors were originally known as the Exodus faction.
