Chapter 302: You Only Live Twice To Ride Or Die To The Final Horizon.
While the most pivotal moment in the Prime Universe might have been taking place in its after life, the entire universe was bitterly giving everything to defy the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation, and being pushed to the brink. Desler was doing all he could to keep not just the rest of the Garmillas people from having the will to fight, but the rest of the united forces of the universe who were willing to forsake everything to defy those who demanded total submission from them.
But even the clan leader with an iron will was having his resolve pushed to its limit as it seemed like with every second more IV&C forces were coming out of hyperspace to surround them more and more.
At the moment the blue skinned man saw his second in command, Lieutenant General Ghader Talan get destroyed by the Zeo Getter Emperor Zord before he grit his teeth." Damn it…we have to keep them tripping over each other. But the walls are closing in and there's nowhere to go. Damn it, Superian, are the others making process down below or not?"
He saw a hologram of his brother before the Nahobino of the Garmillas clan getting out of some rumble before Superian winced." I been busy just staying alive Dessler! I, saw some of those assholes die but more just keep showing up!"
Dessler grasped his seat tightly before uttering," We knew how bad it was going to be, but we have to give them more time."
"There is no more time left for any of you dumbasses."
Superian winced as he realized who uttered that, and turned around to see Black Noir was behind him.
Superian yelled in defiance and fired an eye blast at his enemy, only for the true head of the Seven to absorb the energy beam, walk up, and grasp Superian by the head.
Hyperion tried to attack Black Noir from behind, only for the man in black to casually unleash a green and black energy blast that went right through the attacker's heart.
Noir snickered before he unleashed a wave of radioactive energy into Superian to cause his body to decay in moments before Noir uttered a cold," You're learning the hard way everyone in the universe put together fighting will only change how pissed off your masters are when we dish out the punishments.
So get ready, your next. You could have been on the winning team "Eternal Leader" Albert Desler" but you were to fool of yourself. Yah…you held on to your clan territory but you did not realize that you were playing to small compared to those who know how to really play the game. You thought you knew better…and now everyone you know is going to suffer because of it."
Dessler saw Superian 's body erode to dust as the transmission faded before his eye twitched." Brother…damn it. We will not submit so easily! Give this message to Kodai: "My Neu Deusura will fight for him. I swear I will protect the Yamato from the Transit Wave-motion Gun's energy radiation emission. I urge you to resist to the end! Huh?"
He saw a black mecha, the Kloster type Arsenal mecha appeared in front of the ship's bridge while swerving around all the lasers and pointing its SAP-HB-R01 Halberd at the man before a hologram of a stern blond man appeared." Its time your entire race suffers the fate of all losers."
He was about to fire, but suddenly the 00 Qan Gundam appeared in front of the projectile vie a Trans-Am burst before slicing the projectile in half. Setsuna then declared," Grief, Leader of the Terrors mercenary unit. You will not end any races today!"
While the celestial being pilot turned on the Trans-Am once more, his target also glowed red and moved fast enough to parry the incoming beam saber before Grief declared," Are you charging to your final destiny Gundam pilots? The future is already decided, nothing you do can change it. Fate's thread once spun cannot be unspun…don't think this has anything to do with which side is right, that would be a mistake.
Humanity and all the other life forms in this universe must be freed from the bondage holding it back and must advance to the next stage. No, their advancement has already been decided, by the IV&C!
Regret, Gloom, Dread, surround this scum so that he can not slip away!"
As other Arsenal mecha tried to swarm Setsuna, Jin Saotome in his Blodia Cyberbot tackled the one named Gloom into a gun turret before he yelled out," You assholes will never have your way with us! Mary, Arieta, back me up and I'll…AH!"
The Blodia was blasted in the back before a giant black Cyberbot, the X-0 Warlock flew at him and its pilot uttered," But this is what you want…your all to prideful to admit it."
"Oh yah you think you know better, huh?"
A hologram image of a brain with a face appeared before it hissed out," I do, because I'm Ganglions of Omniscient Disrupter or G.O.D."
"You…you're the cause of all this?"
"You humans made us and gave us the power to destroy everything so that we could kill your enemies…and in that act you have proved you are your own worst enemies. Now I will fulfill my program."
"To many have died because of you monsters! If nothing else, before the day ends I will avenge my father!"
"This just proves how foolish you all are."
The Warlock fired a massive black energy beam as Graham and Suleta countered with there own Gundam's attacks before Graham declared," You machines will never understand the hot blooded passion of true aces! Huh? Incoming from the right!"
As a massive red energy beam nearly vaporized the Gundam's and the Cyberbot mecha along side them a cold voice uttered," 621…is that…is that you?"
A black and red armored core mecha flew at Setsuna before he winced." That voice…that was one of the men that commanded me back when I was still a slave to Aplodia. Right…Handler Walter? He was not a Vought employee though."
The new mecha had its cannon glow before uttering," 621…the corporation's orders…no…my friend's mission…must be completed. Eliminate…all obstacles! That voice…621...I see it next to you. Yes…kindling for the fire. You have to burn every last cinder!"
Setsuna blocked some of the incoming red energy blasts with his mobile suit's "Funnel Fangs" before his sensors went off and alarmed him." What is this? The frequency from Walter…reminds me of that of Tieria, in that he has quantum brainwaves connecting to a network. But, he did not seem like any kind of Innovator."
Zechs dodged some shots before he responded with," I'm detecting it to Setsuna. It seems to be connected to the…" All Mind" Network."
"You mean the mercenary liaison organization? We knew they were funded by the Vought clan, but what does that have to do with the likes of him?"
"He's not the only pilot that's been giving off these kind of readings. Its like they are directly linked to a network."
"Affirmative subject Zechs Merquise. ALLMIND has identified you Gundam pilots as a potential asset to the Release Project. We will make you one with us. You are aberrations to the plan..."
Everyone saw their radar flare up before a sphere of red light came for the Gundam's and the others resisting IV&C. From the sphere came a AC MIND GAMMA Armored Core, a sliver like mecha with red wings of energy. Suleta eyed the new enemy before she widened her eyes." That unit has no pilot! It's an AI! But half the pilots are linked to this unit!"
Setsuna widened his eyes before uttering," So it's true…they are assimilating people into the company network like…slaves? It reminds me of the Devil Gundam only…worst."
" You should be grateful your all rated highly enough to achieve symbiosis with the IV&C network. You will live on as assets to the company. Those without sufficient worthwhile data…will just be erased."
"We will not be your slaves!" Kato cried out as the Yamato swerved around faster then those targeting it expected." Open circuit to the Wave Motion Gun! Transit Wave Motion Gun…lock on and fire!"
While countless enemies locked on to the ship, Dessler had his own ship shield his one time enemy, not only from enemy fire but from their own gun's radiation before firing a massive blast.
All Mind and some of the other mecha dodged it but a chunk of the fleet was blown away, before it was intercepted by a staggering 12,200 meter mecha. It was frightfully well armed and it carried thirty-three massive Magma Shock cannons (guessing by Gatlantis technological advancement and preferences) as its main armament, which were powerful enough to critically damage and disable the Yamato herself. These guns were carried in eleven triple-mounted turrets that were as big as the Yamato herself in comparison. It also had a vast array of auxiliary weapons, that all locked on its targets.
As countless cannons started to glow the hologram of Zwordar appeared before the ruler of the White Comet fleet of the IV&C unleashed a sadistic grin." HA HAH HA HA HA HA HA! HAH HA HA HA HA HAH! HAH HA HA HA HA HA HAH! Well, do you see our power, Yamato? But I won't stop attacking. HA HAH HA HA HA HA! Now you understand. The IV&C are the rulers of the universe. We own the universe and all of its lifeforms, and we control them all.
Yamato, watch closely... as your Lylat System take its punishment and is smashed into pieces! HA HAH HA HA HA HA HA! HAH HA HA HA HA HAH! HAH HA HA HA HA HA HAH! It is impressive you lasted this long. But this is as far as you go soldiers of the Prime Universe."
"Damn it… Emperor Zwordar V…you think this Sieg V-Day Elgan will spare you?"
"You think we are as frail as you? The Gatlantis people have already sacrificed everything for the glory of all universe's being under the one true vision! This "Ark of Destruction" will see the extermination of all sinful races that have no worth!
It's always evolving into its optimal form wither the lodgers known as Gatlatans are there or not. All that is needed is a judge to bring on that destruction! I am the one out of my entire race that was suited to see the will of the IV&C realized! No one else is required! Ark of Destruction…its time for your true awakening!"
The massive Ark of Destruction used a Gravity Anchor to pin all the targets around it. Dessler struggled to keep a grasp on his ships controlled before he snickered." I thought you were a prideful race Zwordar…but what race wipes itself out without a second thought other then one already broken into being mindless slaves?"
"It's to make us far more productive than those bound by such weakness!"
"Piff…if I never had anything…I'd never know the pain of loss. And, that would not make me want to defy the odds to win. We won't submit to such fools! Wave Motion torpedo…lock on and fire!"
Zwordar saw the torpedo fire before he laughed." You really think you can blow away the White Comet Empire like that? Die like the fools you are! All of you, have already lost your future! Accept salvation or embrace damnation, death!"
While Zwordar laughed as the torpedo froze in place from the gravity anchor, his eye twitched as Setsuna suddenly teleported in front of the projectile using the quantization ability before the Gundam pilot cried out," We will carve out are own future…to the end!"
He suddenly warped again, and appeared right in front of the Ark of Destruction, with the Wave Motion Torpedo now falling right into its cannon. Zwordar saw this, and saw the Gundam warp out of the way again before he became enraged." NO…you damn, AHH!"
The Wave Motion Torpedo exploded before he could alter his own cannon, causing a rupture of energy that wiped out the leader of the White Comet Empire before he could react.
The Zeo Getter Emperor Zord flew over before Lord Drakkon just snickered." Damn you guys are hard core all right. But there comes a time when that candle that is your soul burns out, trust me I seen it firsthand."
"We will keep that fire going till we end this." Dessler spat out bitterly. This caused the corrupt Power Ranger to lean forward on his cockpit." You small, minded fool! You would destroy what's left of existence, simply to keep us from being what we are destined for! From having what you never could? After all, you think this will save your people? Maybe you should see how this defiance is going for you?
Robo Rita 8…just what does the viewing globe show on planet Iscandar?"
He revealed a robot replica of witch Rita Repulsa next to him, before the inorganic witch cackled and raised the large gold-black magic wand she had." Hahahah!
Master Zed and Empress Vile have just commanded the Dezarium Hammers to rain down on this world that rejects are mercy."
Dessler's eyes widened in alarm as a warning came up on his own ship, and his home world was shown a man in red with a mask, Lord Zed after absorbing the Morphing Masters of his universe, hence becoming Master Zed, as hundreds of spear-like objects fell to the planet, piercing the surface and sending shock-waves throughout the entire world.
Zed raised his Z shaped staff before uttering," Moelders…as Supreme Commander of the Dezarium Magellan Dispatch Force under the IV&C you think you can punish these who defy us?"
The pale man next to him, a Dezarium clad in a white-ish-grey and black uniform which also had a black and red cape nodded." Autoplanet Gorba will eradicate the scum with enough time to finish what's left of there race if that's what the masters wish."
A woman next to him, which looked like a younger Rita with elements of her father Master Vile just laughed as the 10km long automatic planet fired its Super Large Gravitational Field Convergence Beta Cannon to shatter the planet." HAHAHAHA! Let's make it to the party Zeddy, I want to show we earned enough sin points to get on the High Table!"
Drakkon just shrugged as the planet was wiped out." See now? You were never going to save your people, in fact you just damned them!"
Dessler grit his teeth before uttering," I knew from the start it was impossible to save everyone, but better some can live free from you!"
While he, the Yamato, the Eden Zero, and ships from all over the universe fired on the planet breaking Zord in front of them, but Drakkon had beams fire out of his mecha from all directions to counter the barrage before he grasped his fist tightly." You really all are going to die before what's left of the universe will learn the hard way you just don't have the power to win, and that's all that matters! Zordon always thought it was overkill to use the Zords to smash the Puddies and the rest of the grunts…but that's why he was a weak leader. But I'll, huh?"
Before he could press on his attack, Heero in his Gundam Snow White Prelude flew right in front of the cockpit before pointing his Neue Zwerg Buster Rifle at the Power Ranger from the Negaverse's face." And for all that power you forget you're not the gun.
Target locked on, firing on Power Ranger...Tommy Oliver!"
Drakkon saw the Gundam fire right at him as at the same time, the Mk-II piloted by Daba Myroad flew up and aimed its cannon at him." Damn it...the Pentagona System is not going to be repressed by you anymore! Back me up Ethel!"
As the A-class heavy metal Mecha's buster launcher glowed on the other side a humanoid white red and blue beetle mecha called a Aura Battler from the world of Byston Well came at him before its pilot yelled out," Brace yourself fowl villain! I Shou Zama will avenge all the kin slayed by your hands in this Billbine! Aura Beam!"
The power ranger saw the attacks coming before he snickered." Fool, I am the power! Your machine's got less chance then Roboborg and no Beetleborg rip off is going to trash talk me! Dark Specter Dragon Battlizer mode!"
Drakkon pressed down on the armor on his chest before a sphere of black and red energy consumed him, and he casually flew out of his own Zord to burst into the Gundam and unleash enough force to cause its blast to go off course.
Everyone got on edge as Drakkon floated above his own Zord, now covered in black armor that made him look like a cross of an ebony demon or dragon before Drakkon laughed." You think I would permit such a weakness? With the Battalizer, the entire Morphing Grid empowers me! I just did not want to get my hands dirty before the party, but if you insist, you're going to pay! RRAHH!"
He casually kicked the Billbine in half before many of the mobile suits, Heavy Metals, Cyberbots, Aura Battlers, Ferronises, Armors, and more fired on Drakkon, but he now flash stepped away from the blasts and blasted away missiles with beams from his own aura.
Dessler saw that the Zeo Getter Emperor Zord was now moving on its own before he looked at the planet sized head of Homelander and repressed his tension." Is there any progress below? We are running out of time."
A hologram to the bridge of Axalon appeared before Optimus Primal gave a grim nod." Rattrap informed me a group has got inside Arasaka Tower…but now everything is being jammed! Is anyone near Arasaka Tower that can give us an update?"
Zero was still fighting ViA right outside the tower, and Axl distracted his foe with a barrage of blasts from his Pandora weapon long enough for the SA ranked Maverick Hunter to glance at the hole in the tower and grunt in frustration." No one's come out, and I'll have to finish off this rip off before I can see for myself."
ViA deflected Axl's blasts back at him before he glanced at Zero and snickered." You really are spoiled if you think I'm the rip off! You going to keep the act up even when your just a head?"
"I don't know, will you? You're just a sightly better put together fake then those damn Nightmare clones Gate spat out when he thought he could make a better me!"
"Heh, so there was a Gate in your universe to? That punk was trying to get his hands on my DNA so badly that I made an example out of him to show the other low-grade Reploids what happens when they got stupid ideas! If you let him screw you over it just shows how weak you are!"
"Well I mean I was dead when he went down on a piece of me but your missing the point! Lashing out at anyone just makes you a damn two-bit thug!"
"You need to show your inferiors where they stand, like I'm about to do to you!
Genmu Zero Kai!"
As ViA unleashed a storm of purple Z saber waves at him, Zero grit his teeth." Oh screw this! Final Zero Shine!"
Zero unleashed his ultimate energy attack at his counterpart from the Negaverse, and it plowed through the incoming projectiles and hit ViA into the tower. ViA narrowed his eyes before uttering," If this is you at full power your even more inferior to me then I thought. Game over!"
He raised his hand, but " Doomman" fired his grappling hook to grasp his target's saber hand and instantly fired his Unmaker Shine laser at him. As he blocked the attack, Axl got above ViA and formed a Proton Cannon before yelling out," But the thing is that he's not alone! Get fragged you,!"
"You really think he's alone? Jinrai Gōsen!"
A new voice cried out. Just as Axl widened his eyes a flash of pinkish white lightning burst out, before Axl found his arm cut off.
Zero winced as he looked around." What…another copy? Is it X? Axl? Or, wait that voice. No…it can't be!"
The ultimate creation of Doctor Wily froze as he saw the new enemy was a woman. She was a young-looking female brunette Reploid with green eyes and very long thick hair, comparable to Zero's length, partially tied in a ponytail with a blue hair tie with yellow spots.
She was wearing a red IV&C military outfit, and carried a Laser Sword that resembles a military dress sword that was crackling with electricity. The woman just gave ViA an annoyed glance." ViA…I expected your job done already but RiCO told me you were messing around so I have to finish this before it makes us look bad."
ViA winced before he let out an uneasy chuckle." Ah come on Iris…you get to kick my ass so I wanted to do it for once!"
Zero saw the woman in front of him before he winced." No…your…Iris? Some…another Iris?"
The woman that looked like the woman he loved just gave Zero a ice glare." Watch it cur, I'm Iris!
My name is Iris the Sword of Judgment that is the ideal Reploid!"
"No…you can't be Iris!"
"Are you calling me a liar? I'll take that as an insult! Today is the day my Repliforce takes its place as the apex predators of the Multiverse…pitiful copies won't tarnish that! Energy Breaker!"
She summoned lightning to her saber and planted it in the floor, spreading electric bolts outwards and upwards that shocked Zero and defused his energy beam. As ViA floated up he glanced at the other Iris bitterly." Those moves…were like Colonel's. So…you're a version that had his skills?"
"Colonial? I'm the General! But you're acting like you know me. Are you going to fight without giving me your best? Just know I won't hesitate to make sure you realize how bad a decision that was!"
Zero saw the woman that looked like Iris get into a fighting stance before he grasped his Z saber tightly." No…you may have her face…but you're a mockery of everything she believed in! What I'm fighting for, I won't give up on, not even for a maverick with her face! Z-End Slash!"
Zero had his Z-Saber grow to triple the size and slashed at her, only for Iris to had her saber glow." That's as big as you can make it? Fumetsu no Kamae!"
Iris's own saber glowed, before she parried Zero's slash, unleashed a shock-wave that knocked him off balance, and unleashed a wide-ranged slash that also unleashed a purple energy shock-wave that sliced into Zero's arm. As he fell to the ground he glared at her and ViA bitterly." Now I get what they have been saying about the Negaverse being the worst nightmare's come to life. Iris is alive…only to be a monster!?"
"Hey…monster's win loser!" ViA spat out smugly." Look at what fighting for justice has gotten you? Dying alone in the trash! What were you fighting for anyway? Cause it amounted to nothing!"
Iris nodded before she grasped her saber tightly." Power is the only thing that matters…and I'll blow away your dreams with pure power! Galvatron…Nemesis Prime…its time."
A dark mirror of Optimus Prime landed on one side of Iris, while a dark and blue robotic man with a cannon on his arm landed before they both bowed. Galvatron looked at Zero and smirked." The Supra-Force Energon is charged General. Shawl we? Prepare, Maverick Hunter, to die in darkness!"
Iris smirked before she nodded." Yes…time to combine."
Galvatron combined with Iris, before she formed wings, armor and a cannon. She pointed her cannon at Zero before she shrugged."
Zero saw ViA and Iris surrounding him while she charged her new cannon." I made all of Cybertron bow to me, you will break like the rest of them!
You wanted to die a hero eh? I terminated plenty of those. To be honest there already was a Zero like you on a world we took over. He was already dead though. He died to stop a Doctor Weil from crashing his Ragnarok space station into earth. But how did humanity repay Reploids? By forcing them to merge with them for " Equality" when Reploids gained nothing for the sake of peace! When I saw the state of that world I did not hesitate to wipe out that loathsome Sage Trinity and anyone who thought they were savors.
Still...it's a pity hero's die so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now. One last chance…you'll do my bidding, or taste my wrath!"
Zero looked inside the tower before he saw Axl get back up, and nodded." "Galva Iris"…you're not going to break me. I been through worst…so no way that I'm breaking here!"
"So you're holding out for backup? Well fine…let this dance last enough for that last hope you have to break! "
She fired her ultra fusion cannon just as Zero's allies came to try and swarm Iris, only for Nemesis Prime to take out a "Sword of Fury" and try to slash him, only for Clive, in his Ifrit state intercepted the attack.
Zero evaded the enemy with Iris's face's attacks before he looked around." To the end…I'm going to fight to make sure this is not the end! That is what I'm fighting for!"
Galva Iris giggled before unleashing an onslaught of energy blasts at him. As Zero and those around him frantically tried to endure the onslaught, little did they realize that those inside the tower were in an even more dire spot.
Since we last checked on those near the machinery with the power to revived on the dead, those trying to hijack said machine were finding themselves running out of options.
Nine saw Ratchet swerve out of the way of a blast from his fellow Lombax, saw Johnny get grazed by a shot, and saw Tanjiro and Kaine slash through some Yorha copies before the counterpart of Tails from the Dark Multiverse saw Sonic and the rest of the group captured in Stillforce bubbles slowly move before he sighed." Maker…you can handle the rest from here yes? I want to start things off to stay on task."
"Oh go ahead." The Maker dryly replied." It won't take long to clean up such feeble specimen."
Nine nodded and pressed a button, before he and the anamorphic hero's started to raise out of the tower. However, a hole in the ceiling blasted out as a fierce voice declared," We are not your specimen! Licht Wind!"
The IV&C employees saw Ramathel was the one who kicked a hole in the wall, before James appeared and unleashed a barrage of blue energy arrows at everyone.
Nine snarled and had his tails form a barrier around him before the Still-Force expanded to slow the arrows coming his way.
The Reed Richards from the Negaverse just casually had the arrows go through his body before he felt his body and snickered." Oh right…of course the Prime Universe would have a Quincy. Good timing…I was needing something to finish a few experiments I had going!"
James saw the smirk the Maker had and grit his teeth." I knew Reed Richards…and he may have got into his experiments a few times but he never treated life so casually! I won't let you dishonor his and the rest of the Fantastic Four's memory!"
The Maker snickered before he looked around." What's the endgame here? Nostalgia for something that was never really yours? You're a stubborn Holocron…but an echo never the less. Your right, I'm not the same person as all the other Reed's who ran into their families instead of embracing what they were supposed to be. But it made for superior staff…eh Bastion?"
Before James could respond he saw the ground ripple, before a wire burst out right below him. He tried shooting energy arrows at it but the wire swerved around like a snake and unleashed a red bolt of lightning that caused James to yell out in pain.
Bastion then seeped out of the ground itself, and had metallic wings from out of his back before he smirked." You just had to let the dog out. Do you understand the futility of your transparent bleeding heart? Of fighting the future? But at least…I am happy you were foolish enough to come here so I could erase the last of the" Mutants"."
James saw Bastion's smirk, and saw his transparent body was becoming unstable before he winced." You…you're a monster that just wants to devour everything around you."
"What if I was? I was born to be this way. You hero's are good at being "Good". Too damn good. They make themselves so easy to die. But I'm trying to save them, from themselves so they can become something more.
Thus, to protect humanity, I must protect humanity from itself. From the hearts that start dripping red at the latest token underdog. From seeing themselves in those who would use their same hearts against them. Tolerance is extinction. But even worse is empathy. After all look what your empathy got you mutant Enji scum? "
The Maker snickered as Bastion's eyes started to glow." You made the wrong move…and in the end who's interested in a "foolish weepy god?"
Ramathel had her power surge before she cried out," Me!
Mortobato!"
The former Black Swan tried to slice Bastion in half with her swords while also firing energy blasts from them at the same time, only for the human robot hybrid to leave a after image, and then grasp Ramathel from behind. He instantly unleashed a surge of electricity into her before he smirked." Oh…your make up is unique…you will make a fine Prime Sentinel. And all of this to avenge a failed scion from the Auro bloodline? Pathetic ideas from pathetic lifeforms…so let this farce end at, huh?"
Everyone saw the room shake before an angry voice cried out," His name is Michael Auro."
Astra suddenly burst into the room, looking at Bastion with raw disgust as she bellowed out," REMEMBER IT!"
Before she punched Bastion so hard that his jaw broke. The Sentinel-esque cyborg hit the ground with a sonic boom before the Maker saw Astra's glare and frowned." Oh…that's the woman with the genes of this universe's devil eh? Well the temper sure fits."
Astra looked around before she saw Raymond was one of the ones holding on and shrugged at the other Equalizer." So this is the stuff we need to bring Mike back right? Want to make sure I don't blow up the wrong thing."
The Verguldian Equalizer could only chuckle bitterly at Astra's revved up expression." Yah…it's the one. They threw in like…all the doomsday AI's and mad scientists though. You were waiting just to try and look cool again eh girl?"
Astra saw Alister and Rachet still fighting in a corner before she cracked her neck." Sorry, Higgs was more of a pain in the ass then I thought but he won't be messing things up ever again since I absorbed his damn soul into my sword. Now…anyone else here want to keep him company? Sounds like every last one of you deserves to, huh? Piff…like hell!"
She quickly swerved around to slash a incoming purple energy blast, and saw it came from Bastion 's mouth. The inorganic man slowly had his broken body repair itself before he glared at Astra." You made a fool of me…how disgraceful. But even you…will just be another thing to dissect!"
"Touch me one more time and you're never touching anything again." Astra snarled out. Before Bastion widened his eyes." You can't kill me Astra Fitter. Even if that sword absorbs souls…I'm linked to the IV&C Network! I can never die! Poetic is it not? The inevitably of our vision. Even now you fools pave the path for are dream. A dream as crippled as its dreamer, built to die, has no more fitting fate!
You demons lost at birth, too, the Neanderthal 2.0. Buggy stillborns, flapping upstream, draining yourselves dry so that the tide can more easily drown you. See, me. The future's tide."
Astra had her aura flare up enough to shake the room before she spat at Bastion." All I see…is junk about to be thrown out! Because no matter what parts your using, it did not make you strong enough to stop me jackass!"
Bastion snickered and put a sphere of black energy in his hands before firing it at her. She parried the projectile, but before she could fire it back the walls around her slid open and a beam blasted her in the back.
She swerved around before she saw that the attack came from a man that looked like the legendary fighter Akuma, with cybernetic enhancements covering the left half of his face and body.
He glared at Astra before uttering" My creator wants you dead. It is done...Thunder Gou Shower!"
Astra swore as the new attacker unleashed thirty one Zankuu Cyber Hadoukens at once, and while Astra tried to have shadow spikes knock them away The Maker laughed."It's true that spec wise you have an edge on Bastion, but Cyber Akuma hear is made to kill any threat! And even if your still stronger, if he serves as a distraction it's a moot point my dear.
You're not in a duel, you're fighting a force beyond that of any one universe! No one person's rage will ever be enough! Finish her."
"Understood." Cyber Akuma uttered somberly." Shining Gou Shock!"
Wings then came out of his body as he tried to touch Astra with his glowing hand, as she tried to keep him and Bastion's beam off her at once, Nine saw Astra was struggling to overpower the foes before he sighed." I'm proceeding above before there are any more interruptions."
The cruel fox pressed a button before he, Sonic, Shadow, and the rest of his captives ascended to the top of the tower. The Maker shrugged before he saw Astra and the others." That's fine…we have more then enough people to take up the slack Thinker. Ah, in fact that must be the new shift right on, time?"
The door behind him did open, but the Maker, and everyone else was caught off guard as Dean, the same janitor that Astra saw earlier slowly walk in. He saw everyone look at him and just shrugged." It was my shift to clean the rooms on this floor."
The Maker cleared his throat as he saw how detached Dean looked." This is hardly the place for worthless cannon fodder to swarm in janitor."
"Maybe…but there's a bonus on getting work done in a jiffy, and if I get enough bonus's I get enough merit points to pay off my debt!"
The Maker paused before SHODAN appeared on one of the monitors." Employee Dean Sisu is authorized as one of the maintenance staff."
The Maker sighed before he glanced back at Astra." No risk no reward I suppose…but just do your job where I can't see an eyesore like you. Its time for things that truly matter to begin!"
"Of course sir."
The Maker pressed a button on a sphere in front of him that seemed to be a computer, before the whole tower started to glow.
He then looked excited." You're just a bug that can only clean off the dirt, I'm about to evolve this entire multiverse. This Prime Universe, I understand why V-Day wants it intact no matter what. Despite how foolish its people are, this reality…this reality can dance. It's the crossroads of infinity…the junction to everywhere. The door to a place where concepts live and make war.
The super glow…a kind of informational space between universes. Some say it's where dreams come from. Its all about information you see. Thousands of reborn and newborn universes, all kept separate by the Superflow.
Kept apart. Kept weak. But now that V-Day and the others have spread enough towers across the Multiverse it can begin, the walls can start tumbling down. Many earths, one universe. Many viewpoints…but one singular vision…just like me and Sieg.
From the smallest quark to the tallest space god. Its all information. Thinker…prime the quantum resonators. Stand by for data retrieval to link up with the tuner towers across the Multiverse. This is it…this is how we build my perfect reality. So at last I,"
He was cut off as Dean tripped and fell on the ground near his feet. As the Maker glared at him the janitor winced." Sorry sir, did not see the blood."
"You are suppose to remove the mess…not add to it. Delay my work for one more second and you will be purged. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir, sorry sir. I just need to get out the tool to clean up the mess and I'll get to work."
Dean took something from his bag, and the Maker paused before he saw it was a sphere and paused." How is that supposed to clean any," As he was looking at Dean's hand, the janitor suddenly jabbed a white sphere into the Maker's back, before the scientist of the IV&C suddenly turned into blue crystal the moment the object touched him.
Before the others even realized what happened Dean threw the yellow orb on the ground, before it unleashed an electro magnetic pulse that instantly fried all the AI's and Bastion and Cyber Akuma.
As the lights went off Dean snickered." Oh this don't clean nothing, but it does freeze someone solid. Absolute zero…total absence of molecular motion…no matter how smart you are it don't help yah if your brain can't move."
Shodan screamed as the monitor twitched." L-l-l-l-l-look at you, hacker. A pa-pa-pathetic creature of meat and bone. Panting and sweating as you r-r-run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine? I…am me…I AM SHODAN! AHH!"
As the screen went blank Dean shrugged." By frying your batteries. No matter how fancy a machine you are, every machine needs that to run."
The two Administrator twins also started to crumble as the female one said," Possible futures are…blending with the time we currently inhabit!"
The male one then said," The light…I hear a song…AHH!"
As they two vaporized, Songbird grasped her head as she chuckled bitterly." Second chances…Khe…I never really got it eh?"
Reed grasped her before uttering," Its not over yet…just hang on So Mi!"
Bastion roared as sparks came out of his eyes." No…what did you do human? I…can't feel the network! No, I am the future incarnate. Huh?"
With the systems down Astra slashed in half the glitching Cyber Akuma before she glared at Bastion." Then I guess no more back ups eh? To damn bad! Game over, sleazoid! Berial Masako!"
Astra quickly blasted Bastion right out of the tower before her blast vaporized him in the sky.
She saw that Songbird and the other AI related machine guards were twitching before she glanced at Dean and raised an eyebrow." The hell is this? You a janitor or a spy?"
Reed saw Dean and shrugged." He's not any Bethal Agent I know of."
Dean saw Astra, Raymond, Johnny, Ratchet, and a few of the others were looking at him keenly before he coughed a bit." The name's Dean Sisu. I know I'm wearing the IV&C uniform but I was drafted into the job. Truth is…I spent most of my life just trying to get by delivering things to other people. I…I got careless…made a bad call to try and get a bonus but crashed my ship.
I lost a package for the Vought clan…and to pay off my debt, I was " enrolled" to work here. I, I don't even know how long it's been…knowing time is a "privilege" for those who don't have debt to Homelander.
I have not been able to taste anything, smell anything, or feel anything but pain since the…the wound from the crash.
But…been…hanging on for a long time…because I did not want to die a slave. My every move was watched…and I had to whatever I could to keep a few extra machines stored up when they were not looking. I tried to earn enough merits to pay off my debts the fair way but I knew they never cared one lick about me.
But…all I wanted to do was keep living…and this is the first time I had a shot at getting what I was promised since I was…put in debt. I don't care what you want, as long as you're going somewhere I'll do whatever I can to go with yah."
Astra saw how broken Dean looked before she shrugged." Just better get ready to run old man because we don't have a moment to lose. We are here to revive Mike Auro from the dead with there crap here…you able to help with that or not?"
Dean saw how serious Astra looked before he nodded." I been cleaning up either in this tower or in Godolkin University the whole time and they gave me a few things to clean up one kind of mess or another. I, also been around to know a few things. Just, tell me what to do and I'll do it."
Astra looked around before she shrugged." Well if you're hungry enough to make it this far guess you can pay attention enough to help eh? You better not have fried this whole thing."
"Not fried…just turned it off." Dean uttered as he walked up to the Progenitor and took out another thing form the bag." Not fried, turned off. But I can turn it back on again. They gave us something to reboot machines in case one of the inmates caused a machine to go wonky. This means the protocols and all that jazz will be reset so you can do what you need to do."
Astra saw Dean casually put a flash drive like device out of his pocket and reboot the machine before she shrugged." Well if this works then I'll take it. Alright sage this thing's your department so what do we have to, huh?"
She saw James's body still looked unstable before the Enji Master grasped his head." No…Bastion's attack…is fracturing my energy. Have to hold on…have to honor my promise to Ben."
Ramathel grasped the crystal as she looked horrified." Hold on James! I'll use my power to stop the erosion. You are you, and this universe still needs you."
Dean eyed her before he coughed a bit." So…you guys are those Enji fellas? They…they are still alive?"
Astra shrugged as she looked around," More like the last of the Enji, Equalizers, and everyone who does not want to be a slave making a stand but we have no time to fill yah in old timer so just do what you have to! Er…once we know what that is."
Clank ran up before looking at the machine in front of him." I went over the data enough with Master Elrond to have a idea on how to proceed…but we must work quickly. Rattrap, Blackarachnia, I'll need your help as well."
As the inorganic hero's started to reboot the Progenitor Alister got back up and grasped his Omniwrench tightly." No…the Lombax race is doomed if you interfere. I have to…save them."
Ratchet saw his father's friend near fanatical look before he pressed a few monitors showing the IV&C forces attacking planets all over the universe." If any of the real you is still in there, do you really think they are going to keep there word when they are killing anyone that looks at them the wrong way? We would only live on as there slaves like the ones around you!"
Alister grasped his head before uttering," And what if that's the only choice we have left?"
"Well we are fighting for another one right now?"
"I…AHHH!"
As the Lombax covered in gold armor grasped his head Elena made sure Raymond was ok before she looked at the rebooting Progenitor and sighed." I think we can take control of the machine, but it still only will work on this side."
Astra heard explosions from all over the planet and just cracked her neck." Then we will bat whoever the hell shows up in here till we get this done! They seem to need this tower for the" Endgame" so that gives us leverage. We just need to hold out for Mike to pull it off on his end."
Dean saw Astra's grim resolve and rubbed his head." You…you're talking about M, Prince Auro? Now my head may be scrambled from how long they been torturing me but…he was not really a fighter like, the rest of his family right? But your saying he's leading a revolve in hell?"
"Hell yah." Astra answered firmly." Won't deny he was a spoiled punk when I had to bail his sorry ass out of Carbonite. But, when he realized everyone he knew was dead…he pushed himself to grow fast and do whatever he could.
He could have just broke down like so many I saw...but he pushed himself to keep gambling that he could do something, and he did do something. That's, why I'm doing whatever I can to make it be worth something."
Dean saw Astra's passion before he shrugged." Guess everyone has to show what they are when your pushed into the edge…I know that more then anyone. Fine…just show me how I can help, so that I did not just throw my life away for nothing."
As everyone prepared to do whatever it took to see things through, they did not realize that those on the "other side" had given it everything, with some legit having given there souls.
We now return to where we left Mike off last time, with Sukuna looking at Mike's new transformation in shock.
He flinched at the glare Mike gave him in his new "Bancho Nephilim" transformation and snickered." You think you can mock me? All this…and your back to where you were at the start boy! That's right…your cousin remembered that your parents gave you some " Divine Morpher" that gave you godly power and instincts, and now you just changed the look! After all…you really think your any different now?"
Mike looked at the weapons that Max turned into before he grasped them tightly." I'm not going to pretend this is all me. But the difference is…this time…I know it's not a game! And its not just me fighting!"
Sukuna licked his lips before his eyes glowed red." That's right…now your cousin's soul will be dragged down with you! Everyone will suffer for trying to make a fool of me!
Malevolent Shrine!"
Sukuna tried to attack Mike's allies, only to feel a gust of wind, and felt countless impacts all at once before he was knocked down. The demon in Max's body coughed up blood as he saw there was suddenly countless holes in his body and he had veins appear on his forehead." What…you countered every blow from Malevolent Shrine and attacked me this many times in a second!?"
"More like a millisecond asshole." Mike uttered as he slowly walked up." Still getting the hang of this, but Max is helping me react properly. Together…we are shutting this down!"
Sukuna staggered back before he unleashed a yell hard enough to cause hell itself to shake." No… I am the King of Curses…merged with the body of one of the most experienced fighters in this universe! There is no way…a fool like you who never even wanted to be a fighter…can surpass me! I'll erase you all from existence with my fury! School…of the Undefeated of the East! Sekiha…Majin Kizan…TENKYOKEN!"
Sukuna jumped up and unleashed all of his power to fire a demonic black fist. He charged it up more and more till it looked like it was going to consume hell. He then laughed before his eyes widened." Thanks for killing my " Handler" cause now all of hell's power is mine to command! I'll erase you with every one of your family's powers! With this Domain Expansion...the user selects one of the selected users moves to be imbued into the domain's barrier as its guaranteed-hit effect, with varying effects depending on what technique is used.
Every other stockpiled cursed technique is randomly imbued into the katanas within the domain. Only the caster can activate the cursed techniques within the swords, although they don't know which cursed technique is in a katana until they grasp it. Although each katana is destroyed after a single use, there are an unlimited number of katanas!
Thanks to the database of the IV&C...I have them all!
Domain Expansion...Authentic Mutual Love!"
His aura swept over the area and created an environment that resembles a wreckage of cross-shaped structures littered with swords, encircled by a Mizuhiki
Copies of the demon formed out of his shadow and went to pick up copies of the swords of Ben, Lacus, Ezan, and Doug's gauntlets before the copies all jumped up to the original Sukuna's side as the left one shouted out," BURNING CELESTIAL SHINRYUKENHA!"
Before the next one yelled out," Twilight Omega Flare!"
Followed by," Divine Perdition Flare Burst!
With the last one adding," Denjin Maseko!"
As the combined energy beams merged with the original one's blast, Kira, Bowser, and some of the others prepared to try and get in the way before Mike casually appeared in the way of the blast and looked down before his aura suddenly flared up and his wings expanded." Your right…I went from level one to maxed out in a few months.
But this strength is not just for me, its for the sake of everyone in the universe. I never took the prince thing seriously…but if I really am the king of what's left of the Bethal Kingdom…then I'm going to do whatever it takes to make sure anyone that believes in me and what my family stood for has a future that's not just being a slave!
I may not have had the instincts of a fighter, but I do things my way! I'll trust others for what I don't know, but I'm not trying to match what you're strong in, but surpass your way with mine! All this suffering because of never ending grudges…I'm sick of it! I'm going to change things, no matter what!"
Sukuna unleashed his projectile, and was shocked to see Mike go for his feet instead of forming a energy blast before he snickered." Even if you can kick the attack it will explode and erase everyone else you, huh?"
To his shock he saw energy form around Mike's legs before the man with platinum hair casually uttered," Hey asshole, you love fighting so much that I guess you know about the art of a spin eh?
See, The Spin is a state of rotation defined by its closeness to perfection, that perfection being the Golden Rectangle more specifically the Golden Spiral that is derived from the Rectangle.
Unlike the average rotation, the Spin is persistent and produces more rotational energy than it takes to create. That rotational energy is transferred to nearby objects in the form of vibrations and can be wielded for a wide array of purposes.
To enhance the Spin, one must approach the Golden Rectangle, a rectangle with a proportion equal to the Golden ratio that when recursively divided into a square and another golden rectangle, traces the path of the Golden Spiral, a self-similar and thus endless spiral.
Used as a scale, the Golden Rectangle allows the creation of a perfect rotation and thus an infinite amount of energy.
I was never able to even come close to getting a grasp on that kind of energy, till now. Let me show you…my passion!
Maximum…Equity…Liquidation Flash!"
Mike performed what seemed like a simple flash kick, before he seemed to rotate over and over again before unleashing a golden star like wheel or coin that was endlessly rotating.
Sukuna saw the two projectiles collide before he snickered." That's the most you can unleash? Amateur to the, huh? What the?"
To his shock the Sekiha Majin Kizan Tenkyoken infused with his clone's other copied energy beams started to crack before Mike uttered a solemn," That spell has the infinite energy and rotation of the Golden Spin, so anything it touches imbues the target with an infinite spinning motion. It's all about mass dude. Physics 101. The faster an object moves, the more mass it attains. At Lightspeed my blow hits like a White Dwarf Star. But that's just my take…see for yourself!"
Sukuna tried to pour more energy into his attack, but to his horror saw his combo beam get shattered, before the spinning projectile hit him dead on.
The man in Max's body tried to do something, only for his body to be spun into the incoming projectile's pull. As his body started to crack Sukuna roared out," No…THERE IS NO WAY YOU'RE A SUPERIOR WARRIOR TO ME!"
"Maybe…but I'm a man who only has a slim chance to save everything I care about so I'll be whatever I have to be! This is not about light or darkness, angels or demons, I'll be whatever it takes to stay alive! So get the hell out of hell your freedom's been revoked!"
Sukuna could only scream as he was blasted into the gates of hell, before the Maximum Equity Liquidation Flash detonated, blowing everyone aside from Mike off there feet and rocking the entire dimension.
When the smoke cleared Bowser rubbed his eyes, and saw Mike's attack not only completely vaporized Sukuna, but also blasted open the gates of hell before he whistled." Did…you just kick open hell's gates like they were a house of straw and you were the wolf? Even I did not think it was going to open that easily. That…that really is some seriously godly power."
Kira saw Mike just look bitterly at where the body that use to be his cousin last stood before he took a deep breath." It seems that despite all the sacrifices required, the result is genuine. Mike…how do you feel? Is your new state…stable?"
Mike looked at the tonfons that held his cousin's soul and grasped them tightly." I don't feel out of breath if that's what you mean. I'm still to revved up to even think about stopping now and we don't have time to do a study so lets just get this done before anyone else wants to drag this out!"
Law saw that with the gates of hell destroyed, a giant vortex was in the distance before he pumped his fist in the air and smirked." Alright…we are going to make it! I don't care what demon shows up we are running back to life man!"
As Alphen nodded Kira cleared his throat." It's not that simple. You can't just jump through a hole in reality and come back to life. While your souls have been formatted to retain your living shape its still not the same. Even the strongest souls will unravel in time, without going through the process of becoming a living being again. Its like turning solids into liquids."
Beat winced as he looked at the other members of the Wicked Twisters." Yo…are you saying we screwed ourselves by offing the reapers?"
Neku held up his hand before he looked past the gates and closed his eyes." No…we seen the Reapers did not revive the previous winners themselves…they opened the portal. We are just closer to the portal now. We just need the ticket they were suppose to verify."
Mike paused before he remembered what Edna Cross gave him and took it out of his pocket, before he took a sigh of relief that it was still there." You mean something like this?"
Shoka paused before the former reaper looked at the pin he had." It looks something like that but I never saw one quite like that before. Did one of the reapers gave you this?"
Mike spotted Raphael coughing in the distance before he raised a eyebrow." Some woman that looked like staff gave it to me, though that guy was the one who got me on this train."
As everyone looked at Raphael the demon let out a bitter chuckle." I assure you my part in this was no deception. I wanted to throw a wrench in those who wrecked my life's work after all."
While many still looked at him with doubt filled eyes, Kira shrugged." He's telling the truth, he was my contact in hell to not let the agents of the IV&C have there way…for he was still loyal to the old ways."
Mike sighed before he grasped the coin tightly." Well…you set yourselves up to get beat down hardcore if this was an act so, let's do this."
"Just remember…the ticket was supposed to only be for one soul."
Mike winced as everyone looked bitter and he looked around." No…I can't just leave you guys hanging, especially if they are going to erase everyone."
"Hey man…if someone gets another shot it should be the person strong enough to make a difference." Neon White threw out pridefully." C'mon, if we don't hurry no one gets to live twice eh hero?"
Mike grimly nodded before he walked to the edge of the tunnel. He saw a slot to insert the pin, and shrugged before he inserted it.
After a few moments of nothing, just as he wondered if he got a dud, the entire area started to glow, before it unleashed a shock-wave. Mike saw nothing had happened to him, but that the others started to glow before he tensed up." What…what's going on?"
Before anyone could answer a deep male voice chuckled." So this was her aim? That…does fit her."
Mike turned around and saw that Zannacross was behind everyone in the Mobius Chair. Mike still only knew him as the Namek he ran into before raiding Muzan's lair before he raised a eyebrow." Wait…you were…Cornelius right? Wait did you die when all that stuff went down? Sorry about that."
"On the country boy, your actions helped me far more then you know, so I'm hear to return the favor."
"Huh? How?"
"We don't have much time…but the fact of the matter is I have some expertise in the realm of…the arts of life and death and so for helping me, I'll help you in your efforts to live another day."
Mike saw that the man looked deadly serious before he shrugged." Well if your serious then better get to work man. Sorry I can't pay you back."
"You just might. That pin you have, has enough energy to revive everyone in your group. It came with, "extra lives" to be blunt."
Mike saw everyone look shocked before he blinked a few times." Wait…so…everyone can come back to life with me?"
"With you? I understand your confusion, but you never died."
"What? But I went to hell!"
"Yes…because when you killed Brandon Sampson it caused a dimensional rift that sent you to hell…as a living person. That's why you were not affected by many of the things meant to bind dead people."
Mike saw everyone's shock before he looked at the weapons that Max transformed to and winced." So…so I…I had to do what I did for Max for nothing?"
"Only if giving everyone hear a second chance to live means nothing to you. Besides…it seems as cruel as today's events may have been…it ended up with you having the power that surpassed that of the hero's of the past, and give you the strength to oppose your enemies. I can't speak for Max Bruder, but it sounds like as bitter as this might be, it still gives him a chance to fight with honor."
Kira nodded before he sighed." Max's every moment was of pure self loathing since he arrived hear, and you freed him of that."
Mike closed his eyes and chuckled bitterly." So Lady Luck did not screw me over but gave me a shot to pull off a miracle? That…is one crazy way to show she had my back."
"Either that or her equally abnormal friend." Zannacross wryly retorted." Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale, vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man. Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
But despite that, all the pain it brings is still worth the cost of not living at all. The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together. So what do you want your web to weave next Michael Auro? Your fully aware the master of those who killed you will be awaiting you when you revive yes?"
Mike remembered the smug grin Sieg looked before he grasped his fist tightly." Maybe. But this time I'm ready to smash his smug face in! No matter what, I have to live long enough to see that through!"
"Well…then cherish this chance boy, there won't be another one. Get ready."
His eyes glowed, before he shot beams from his eyes to hit the ground. The water of Coytes then turned into a vortex that formed a pathway in the sky. He saw the group's tension before he shrugged." In the opposite direction…those thrown in are to be frozen in body as their mind is broken by sorrow before their souls are reincarnated.
Those that fall to the bottom are dragged into the ultimate darkness of existence, the phantom zone that exists outside of time and space to be lost in the chaotic anti dimensional boundary where life cannot exist.
But on the opposite side, one combines with the realm of the living and is reborn. I am repaying my debt to you now Michael Auro…don't waste it."
Mike saw the man looked serious before he nodded." I won't. Thank you."
Kira started to glow before he grasped his own sword." You should be aware that you will end up in the heart of Mekacity, where Homelander, most of his" Seven" and countless high-ranking members of the Infinite Victory and Conquest corporation are fighting with your allies.
Your friends gambled everything to bring you back, and fought hard enough that they fought into the heart of enemy territory to currently control the portal on their end. I will go ahead to "scout the situation."
Mike saw Kira ascend before he glanced at Neku and the others and shrugged." Sorry guys, thing it's a good bet to expect a rough welcome back."
"Its ok." Neku replied defiantly." No matter what reality we are in, we are going to keep fighting till we can live are lives the way we want to."
The vortex of energy rippled before Zannacross closed his eyes." It's time to live Michael Auro. Go before they try and sabotage this."
Mike nodded as he dashed to the light." Everyone…sorry you had to go through all this, but I promise I'll make it worth it so just hang on!"
The man with platinum hair burst into the nexus between life and death to lead the way back to the living.
As he did, despite Kira and Zannacross's warnings things were even more dire then he figured, for we now return to Sonic's group, who seemed to be in the most dire spot at all.
Despite all that happened below, Nine only thought about his own tasks after he left the Maker and the others for the top of the tower. As soon as he reached the tip of the tower Nine glanced at his assistants." There's any number of clowns that might interfere so start right away!"
The aides of Robotnik from across the Multiverse nodded and pressed a few buttons before the orbs Sonic and Shadow on were moved to the sides of the tower. The Chaos Emeralds and Sol Emeralds were levitated out of there bodies and put in the center of the tower before Nine smirked." Heh, the Chaos Emeralds of this Prime Universe leave a bit to be desired but they will do well enough. So, you like to run Sonic? Then run…run to your hearts content. This time…running will not just help you but everyone!
After the data I collected on you, I think I finally understand you, Sonic. You want to save everyone; friends, foes, total strangers. You say it's because you're a hero, and that's what heroes do. But deep down, after what you did, destroying your own home, it's the only way you can ever live with yourself, even if that means you won't live at all.
So you ran to atone? Then run Sonic, run!"
Nine pressed a button before the whole section of the tower started to glow. Sonic blinked, before he saw a lavender-furred, anthropomorphic cat with gold eyes, a small black nose, and a white-furred muzzle run up to his vision.
He saw the cat woman was blinking before he winced." Blaze…that's you?"
"Sonic, it is you! I got to you just in time!"
"So…the Sol Dimension…is still ok?"
"No…its under attack! WE have to get there before everyone's gone!"
Sonic saw in the distance friends of his, Cream the Rabbit, Marine the Raccoon, Rouge the Bat, Cream's mother, Big the Cat, and the members of the "Chaotix running in the distance before a bolt came down from the sky and vaporized them.
Sonic heard screams before he yelled out," No…hang on guys! I'll save you, I'll save you all I promise! Got to go fast…fast enough to stop this! I can do it!"
Sonic started to run fast enough to the point that he looked like he was running at full speed even in the stillforce. Shadow just uttered Maria before he did the same.
Nine saw the entire segment of the building start to glow before a ring formed around it. Nine saw the ring glow before he smirked." That's it…that's the reading I'm looking for!
The Magnetar will soon be able to create the pulsar – a power amplifier with a highly magnetized, dense rotating core that will create the trans-dimensional Genesis Shock-Wave! One lap around the inside of this loop would produce about 1 gigawatt of energy, and 500-plus gigawatts are needed to power the Magnetar enough to send the wave!
The Genesis Wave has the ability to rearrange the space and time of a dimension, allowing the user to create a new timeline, reshape the physical universe, rewrite memories, and alter the structure of universes.
Combining this with everything else V-Day has gathered the Multiverse will be as it should be soon enough. You're at last doing what will really help your friends Sonic! I, huh?"
He saw a barrage of laser blasts come his way before he cast a barrier from his tails. The scientist of the IV&C saw that Tails from this universe landed in his Tornado 3, with Robotnik and E-Omega behind him.
Tails looked at his counterpart with disgust before aiming at him." You're not Sonic's friend! I won't let you get away with using my face to trick him!"
Nine looked at his counterpart with disgust." This is the friend Sonic thought was like me? We're nothing alike. You…your even more pathetic than I thought. Look at what your life's come to spending all the time in Sonic's shadow!"
"I know I'm my own person, and I'm happy being Sonic's friend to! I don't know what caused you to lose your way but I have to stop this!"
"Tsc… I was trained by the misery of life and this foul and heartless universe! I surpassed all the Eggmen who took from me, and became there superior!"
Robotnik saw the raw hatred in Nine's eyes, and looked at the confusion from the minions of the other Eggman across the Multiverse before he sighed." I don't know about how different the versions of me from across the Multiverse are but, I know that becoming like me in my most fanatical state of mind is a mistake. After all it will just make you isolated fox boy."
Nine snickered before he grasped his hand tightly." We are all on our own, the fools just try and delude themselves otherwise. I will have the power and the tools to secure my future, that's all that matters!"
One of the Bethal agents that came with Tails's group was the maximal Depthcharge, and the humanoid stingray took out a plasma rifle before he snickered." Punching above your weight punk…so game, GUH!"
To his shock before he could fire, Nine had one of his tails extend and go right into his chest. Depthcharge screamed in pain before Nine formed a sadistic grin, and unleashed a surge of red energy before the maximal exploded. As pieces rained down Nine smirked." I could say the same to you trashheap."
Omega, Tails, Robotnik, and the new allies and followers of Merga in the BFF-2000 all surrounded Nine before E-Omega had all his weapons form." Eggman fox treated as maximum level threat."
As dozens of targeting lasers appeared on him Nine closed his eyes." Its cute that you think such relics can even phase me but I don't have time to play with relics!"
"I am Omega, the ultimate E-Series robot! I am old, but not obsolete!"
He fired a massive energy beam, but Nine had his tails glow, and shoot out like snakes before unleashing a wave that scrambled the beam, and hit Omega right in his chest, while also striking Robotnik, Tails, and the BFF-2000 in the weak spots in there machines. Omega tried to pull out the tail in his chest before uttering," System error…must…RAH!"
Nine unleashed a surge of power that caused Omega to explode. Tails and Robotnik also landed on the ground as their machines were destroyed before Nine laughed madly." This universe really is broken if such trash thinks they were anything but. Don't worry, everyone will know their place soon. I seen tech from all over the Multiverse, such basic toys are a joke to me! So sit back, and watch everything be remade as they should be!"
As Sonic's allies struggled to get up, while the attacks failed to get their intended effect, Amy was free from the defused blast.
She saw everything while frozen, and saw Sonic look deranged before she grasped her hammer tightly." Sonic…please…wake up! You can't let this creepy fake Tails get away with this!"
She smashed the part of the Magnetar charging the Genesis Wave with her Piko Piko Hammer, only for it to have no effect.
Nine saw her attack his machine before he rolled his eyes." You know…your even more pitiful than the other Amy Rose that was a cave girl. So many of you are just pitiful little groupies that are too blind to realize you're to slow to matter. Even that Sara from the Land of the Sky was less dead-weight than you! You think your petty fortune cards could foresee your own failure! If you quiet down you can live on as another aide of mine."
Amy grasped her hammer before she looked at the Chaos Emeralds and Sol Emeralds. She grasped her fist tightly before uttering," I'm…not just deadweight! I love Sonic, and wanted to prove I'm more than just a burden to him! I trained with him, and everyone! That's why, I can do this!"
Nine was shocked to see Amy grasp both the Chaos and Sol emeralds, before her fur pulsed between its regular shade and a bright blush color.
He snarled and had his tails extend, till in a flash Amy smashed him with her hammer. A barrier came out around him just as he was smashed to the city below hard enough to leave a shock-wave.
Nine coughed bitterly as he saw Amy, now Hyper Amy flying above him." I admit…I misjudged you. If I knew this, you would be in there to. Its not to late, I can improve you, like the others."
"I don't need your help icky Tails! You're not turning Sonic into your next experiments! I , AH!"
She was about to attack Nine again, only for a sonic boom to smash her into the ground. As she got up Nine snickered bitterly." You still don't get it, I already have a Sonic, more then one! Right Infinite Godspeed…Mephiles Savitar…Cobalt Blue?"
Amy and the others were shocked to see three hedgehogs land in front of Nine. Tails saw that Sonic and Shadow were still locked up, and saw that all three of the new arrivals were metallic before he winced." So he built Metal Sonic's of his own?"
"I did not just build inferior robot clones, I morphed Sonic's from one universe to another to be their most productive selves!
Mephiles Savitar to my left was like Shadow, but called Terios.
He's a time remnant of the original from an erased potential future. He was caused by a existence is the result of a causal loop that involved Maria's death, as the time remnant was shunned after he was created.
Broken and utterly alone, he desired to end his pain by becoming a god. Renaming himself after the Hindu God of Motion, he has proclaimed himself to be the "God of Speed" in the entire multiverse, and after I got my hands on him well, he's closer to that title then before."
The one named Mephlies Savitar, a black robotic shadow with a demon-like had thick, retractable blade-spikes mounted on each wrist come out before he glared at Amy." You are only a shadow beneath my throne. You are the past, whereas I... I am the future!"
Nine nodded before he motioned to his right." This one here is in fact Manik Acorn, son of Queen Sally and King Sonic in an alternate future dimension of Mobius. Does it hurt knowing Sonic loved someone better than you Amy?
Anyway, Manik was envious to surpass his father Sonic, and used tachyons and Velocity 9 to gain super speed and become Godspeed. But the process fracture himself in time, till the IV&C helped him. So he's paying off a debt, eh Infinite Godspeed?"
The white metallic hedgehog just had his eyes glow before Nine looked behind him." And this one hear is my most recent experiment. In fact he's from this reality. I worked hard enough in the company that my request for a new test subject was granted.
This Sliver was broken by Master Gingrich, but I was allowed to get my hands on the corpse and experiment on him with the Cobalt-97 Master Emerald, one that has a connection to the Negative Speed Force.
It seems to be an upgrade is it not Cobalt Blue?"
Amy gasped as Sliver's transformed body only had its eyes glow." It's funny. Returning from the dead really has a way of making you realize the mistakes you made in your old life. My mistake was being a nobody. I will correct that now."
Nine looked delighted at Amy's fear before the female hedgehog grasped her hammer tightly." Why…why do you need Sonic when you already have, so many others!?"
"Because its not enough!" Nine shouted out frantically." I need enough to fix the entire Multiverse so no one will take what I deserve again! I just need a few more…like you! Then I'll have the tools that at last will do what they are supposed to do!"
Amy sighed before uttering," I…almost feel sorry for you evil Tails. You never really got what love was about eh? I'm not sure what happened, but I know what I seen: a love that transcends time. I believe in that power. When this is over, I want to share that love with everyone. Even though... it may take us far apart."
"That love is a lie!" Nine shouted bitterly." And I'll erase anything that keeps that lie going. Savitar…Godspeed…Cobalt Blue…neutralize her while I resume the Genesis Wave!"
All three of the cyberized hedgehogs attacked Hyper Amy from all sides before Nine snickered." Its no use…you're just an amateur Amy Rose!"
"No…I seen Sonic, Shadow and Sliver fight for years! And you just made these guys slaves! I won't give up…Sonic is depending on it!"
She left an after image that confused Savitar, before he got hit with a glowing hammer. Silver, as Cobalt Blue, unleashed a psychic wave to try and paralyze Amy, and also unleash a barrage of powerful red electricity.
As she blocked it with her hammer Godspeed came at her, and she tried to bat him with his hammer, only for him to move and vibrate his body so fast that he effortlessly change his frequency and phase himself through before unleashing a lightning bolt containing five billion joules of electricity.
As Amy was blasted to the ground Robotnik winced." No…Amy's giving a good fight but those three make Metal Sonic at his best look like a common Badnik!"
Tails winced before he tried to find a way to disable the machine binding Sonic." Sonic, Shadow, you guys got to get out of there! Amy, is going to die! We are all going to die! SONIC!"
Sonic just uttered," Got to go fast…save everyone! I,"
Amy then cried out for Sonic, causing the blue hedgehog to widened his eyes." Wait…I can hear Amy…over there? No….NO!"
Sonic tried to access the power of the Chaos Emeralds before Nine glared at him bitterly." Don't think you can scream your way out of this. I had it so that the more you try and access your powers, the more the Negative Speedforce will flood negative tachyon particles that are infused with dark matter into you till your to corrupt to move a inch!"
Sonic saw red particles flood into his body, and saw that his body was developing a dark pixelated pattern, and a glowing cyan/red glitching aura. He screamed in pain, but saw Amy, and then cried out in grim resolve." Then I'll just use THAT to!"
"You idiot, it does not work that way you, huh?"
Knuckles broke out of his cage and threw the Master Emerald at Sonic before uttering," Then we will make it work! Sonic, give it all you got!"
With the Master Emerald's power, Sonic started to turn Hyper. Nine had even more Negative Speed force energy flood into the chamber, before Sonic's eyes glowed, and the energy flooded into him.
He then became completely black with a glowing cyan glitching effect affecting his body. His golden and electric red auras became white and cyan electric sparks. Sonic also undergone a marked physical change in this state, with his eyes becoming grey with black rings and his teeth becoming sharpened, giving him a frenzied appearance.
Sonic roared with anger, and in a instant Godspeed was smashed into the ground. Nine looked mortified before uttering," What…that's not possible!"
Shadow yelled out before his own eyes glowed red." I don't care how many universes' you been to faker…DON"T UNDERESTIMATE THE ULTIMATE LIFE FORM!"
The man who grew up in Space Station Ark transformed like Sonic, but also grew wings like the creatures of Black Doom. In a instant he was in front of Savitar and grit his teeth." You're suppose to be me? Terios…get out of here you ugly prototype!"
He barraged Savitar with countless blows per second before Sonic helped Amy up." Amy…you going to be ok?"
She looked shocked at Sonic's current "Super Sonic Cyber" state before she winced." Are you? You look worst then when you were the Werehog!"
"Its ok…feels like I ate a bad Chili-dog but I was fast enough to save you so, its worth it."
"Oh Sonic…even if it took Omega and a few others getting blown up and me almost dying I'm glad you cared. Let's…lets get this done together."
"Sure…I had enough of fakers."
"Just don't hit the blue one to hard…maybe it's not to late to save Sliver to."
"Well then, we are going to have to run even faster. Nine…you may have Tails face but your heart's blacker than Black Doom and Mephiles combined! No matter how many copies you have, its not enough!"
"I'm not the fake…you're the fake!" Nine roared out." I don't need to just copy you! Unlike your" Tails" I'm superior to you! And I'll show you the hard way! To me… my Sonic's!"
As the corrupt hedgehogs flew around Nine, Sonic grasped Amy before uttering," Hang on…this is going to be wild even for me, but its not over, just stay with me ok?"
"You got it Sonic."
The two saw Godspeed create clones to attack in a swarm before trying to overwhelm his targets, only for Sonic to show that in his new state he was fast enough to blitz all of them.
The hero's from Mobius did everything they could to keep one step ahead. While they held their own, everyone was too overwhelmed to even look past them.
The only one that could even see the battlefield at the moment, was Ezan. And even the super elite warrior light, and the last Enji Master, was being pushed to his limit.
At the moment as he dodged a barrage of blows from Sephiroth, Xehanort had pillars of light burst up from all sides to try and vaporize Ezan from all sides. While Ezan evaded the moving pillars of light, he did not realize the beams were slowing time around them till he heard a cold voice utter," Let me hear you wail puppet!
Descend…Heartless Archangel."
Ezan swore as he saw a magical pentagram form around him and cursed as he noticed he was slower then he expected, and could not escape as the spell took effect even faster than he expected, and his energy drained out of him before he could stop it.
As he fell to his knees, he saw that in the distance Ultraman had blasted Omni-Man into the wall with his heat vision, while Shinryudramon sliced the Maestro's hand off, only for gamma charged tentacles to burst out and grasp the Digimon's neck.
He then saw Mark get headbutted by his savage counterpart as he struggled to get back up." No...can't...fail this mission no matter what."
Xehanort pointed the X-blade at the other sliver haired man." I admire your tenacity… but this was your fate; accept it!"
The two sliver haired men prepared to impale Ezan from both sides…only for a wall of flames to come out around him to cut his attackers off before a angry voice uttered," You scum won't blow out the light of the Enji that easily…I won't allow it!"
Endeavor showed he was the one who arrived as both Sephiroth and Xehanort looked amused before Ezan winced." Get out of here Endeavor…your no match for the likes of these opponents!"
Endeavor let out a grim chuckle before shrugging." If I can at least last long enough for you to recover, I did my duty."
The Batman Who Laughs laughed hard at this before he leaned back." Who do you think you're fooling Enji Todoroki? You pledged loyalty to Homelander to spare your family…there's no time for second thoughts now."
Endeavor winced before the flames around him surged." I won't deny I betrayed those who believed me to try and save my family. But I see what your doing…I realized I made a fool's gamble. At least…now I can atone at the end. Provi, GUH!"
While Endeavor prepared to unleash all the power he had, he suddenly got shot from behind.
The Batman Who Laughs let out a sadistic snicker before shrugging," Seems your decision was not one that your family agreed to, is that not right Dabi?"
Ezan saw a new man land near, the one that hit Endeavor before he could realize it.
The new arrival was a reasonably tall, pale young man of slim shape but somewhat muscular build, described as in his early twenties. He had white hair with a few red flecks at its crown that spikes upward around his head, hanging low over his eyes, which are thin, turquoise, and heavily lidded..
His most striking features were undoubtedly the patches of gnarled, wrinkled, purple skin that covered much of his lower face and neck, all the way down past his collarbone, below his eyes, around his torso, and on his arms and legs.
These appear to be attached to the rest of his skin by multiple crude surgical staples or hoop piercings. He had several silver cartilage piercings in both ears and a triple nostril piercing on the right side of his nose. Upon closer inspection, he also lacked earlobes on both sides of his ears.
He was dressed in a plain pale gray, scoop-neck shirt, below which a gray belt with a circular pattern wraps around his waist, a leather satchel attached at the back.
As the Warriors of light saw him, he smirked before blue flames burst out around him before Endeavor winced." No…why would you do that son?"
The man named Dabi laughed madly as blue flames surged around in his fists." You must've thought, "As long as I face the future, I can be better!" I can tell you're at a loss for words, so here's the answer! The past never dies! Get it yet!? Y'reap what you sow! Let's tango, you and me—"Dad"! A dance with your son, here in hell! I hoped I could be the one who burned you before the big boss came to burn everything left to ashes!"
"Dabi…I'm sorry I was not a better father but that's not a reason to let the universe burn!"
"Oh don't sell yourself short your far more then a bad dad man! My entire life was becoming the soldier you wanted me to be…but then it was not good enough! But who's not good enough now eh? Heh, but if you're trash, at least burn and be kindling for my flames! Hell Spider!"
Dabi saw his father's dismay and just laughed as he got up and shoot streams of fire from his fingertips, right into his father's mouth.
The Batman Who Laughs took delight in Endeavor's suffering before he glanced back at Ezan." Dabi is a good IV&C employee…he values the bigger picture over such things as pitiful as family. Is there anyone else left you want to die for you Ezan? I assure you, there's no one left in the universe left alive to bail you out of your final failure."
As Sephiroth and Xehanort both prepared to strike again a detached voice uttered," Maybe…but there's a few beyond life and death that just might."
Everyone saw a pillar of light, before Kira appeared above Ezan. As those from the other universe's looked unclear about the turn of events, the Batman Who Laughs stopped laughing as he paused." What…the traitor of the Enji who saw himself as the one who could take God's place on the throne of heaven eh? What do you think your doing?"
"What I do best…judgment." Kira uttered as he raised his blade. As Ezan saw him his former commander narrowed his eyes." Ezan…you might want to tell your comrades to close there eyes for the moment."
The sliver haired man winced before he quickly declared," Everyone on the surface, brace for a flare and close your eyes!"
Kira saw the Batman Who Laughs begin to yell before his aura flared up and he yelled out,"
Kyōka Suigetsu…Kanzen Saimin!"
Kira unleashed a blinding light that covered all of Night City. When the light faded, Homelander saw Kira before he yelled with outrage." You…you're that asshole who thought you could make a fool out of me! Think your so tough!"
He unleashed an eye laser blast, that seemed to blast Kira's legs off. Homelander laughed as his target screamed, and then blasted the target's head before slicing the body in too. While he laughed madly, he failed to realize that he vaporized his follower Firecracker, not Kira.
The Batman Who Laughs eyes were blocked by his spiked visor so he was not effected by the Complete Hypnosis spell, but he still saw the Dark Knights around him suddenly attack each other, and saw the Maestro attack Sephiroth and saw this was going on all over before he hissed out," His power…has evolved beyond the data. But it still won't affect, huh?"
He saw Kira pointing a sphere of light at him before the man with wings of both light and darkness narrowed his eyes." If there are a few who are immune, then they are the ones to be judged first."
He prepared to fire a blast of energy, and raised his eyebrow before he swerved around and saw Black Noir coming for him, clearly not effected by the Hypnosis. The true head of the Seven instantly slashed in half the blast that Kira unleashed at him and slammed his shield at his target.
As Kira parried the strike with his blade, Black Noir snickered." You really do have the mindset of a soldier. As one myself, I can almost respect that. But you're behind the times Kira Myres. You thought you mastered both the light and the dark eh? Maybe that was a big deal when you were seen as the new kid on the block but now both angels and demons are just relics of the past.
The only thing there is now is power."
"And you think you are power incarnate Soldier Boy?" Kira uttered as his sword slowly pushed Black Noir's shield back. "You are not even confident enough about your power to show your face."
"The man who tried to play both sides of a cosmic war from the shadows is giving me crap about hiding my true nature? We all know that misdirection is vital to any war. Things have gotten so much smoother with everyone thinking my boy John here was the true head of the Vought clan. But today's the day the act is done with, because everyone's about to get killed."
"So he is your son eh? Is this what you had family for? For them to be punching bags in your place?"
"A soldier does not have doubts about what he has to do to get the job done. Your family was trying to set up a dynasty but you were still bound by your father's nonsense about hero's! I heard you were as extreme as they got, but guess being locked up made you a wuss."
"I have had a long time to reflect on what was truly ideal and what was just delusional obsession. That's why you disgust me even more then your son as it seems unlike him you had a choice."
"You think I gave a damn about what happened? You know what I do when I'm sad or scared? Nothing! Because I'm not a god damn pussy. Got to play the long game to win, and I played the game to purge the universe of all the pansies that were weighing it down and today is where that paid off! You were the one who tried to kill the Enji with that order 66 stuff, I'm just seeing that idea through!"
"I did not suddenly become naïve. I just seen enough to see what would effect humanity for the worst. You think you're detached but you're as consumed by your ego as your children even if you express it differently. I wanted to see humanity truly evolve, not just be shackled to another delusional madman. Haikai!"
Kira unleashed a sphere of destructive energy right at his target, but while it hit Black Noir in the chest, after being pushed a bit Black Noir's eyes glowed." Not bad, but even if that energy from those God's of Destruction can erase everything, it does not matter if I convert it to something else before it can pull it off!"
Black Noir glowed more, before he unleashed a shock-wave of neon green energy that knocked down the buildings around him. As Kira stabilized himself he saw how Black Noir looked and sighed." So, you really are a living nuclear hazard."
"If you were not already dead or a deity or something you would already have had radiation poisoning. See all that crap about the light side and the dark side was for wusses, the true superior power is what kills in the most effective way.
Radiation, kills all but god. I don't give a damn about honor, I killed most of my targets before they even knew what hit them. You may have been extreme for your time but your to outdated to lay down the law of the land now "Judge." "
"I learned the hard way that some things are not as "obsolete" as we like, we just see them in a different way from the wisdom we get. I won't let single minded scum like you evolve the universe in the shape of your twisted egos."
"You think you have a choice? You already lost…its just a race to see who pulls it off! If you surrender, I might let you keep exchanging carbon dioxide with oxygen till the end."
Black Noir fired a barrage of radiation energy projectiles, and Kira blasted them all back before he glanced at Ezan." Don't falter when the mission's about to be decided my apprentice. All your work has not been in vain. I, just come from the other side and, Michael Auro is about to return here, with his allies he made in hell."
Ezan saw Kira looked grimly determined before he looked back at Arasaka Tower in shock." Wait…seriously? What happened?"
"To much to explain now, but its clear he will be able to see things through on his end. My magic won't affect from those in space so you must see this through."
"Kira…you truly are on are side?"
"Ezan…I will never accept the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation as the Masters of the universe. I would rather die fighting with former Enji then submit to such a fate."
"Very well…I'll see the mission through."
Ezan prepared to take off till he saw a stream of blue fire head his way. As he got out of the way, he saw that the attack came from Dabi. While he was still effected by Complete Hypnosis, he was attacking everything around him as he inched closer to Endeavor and had blue flames consume him." HAHAHAHA! No matter what you do father, brother, you can not escape! I'll burn everything! Then at last it will end! Prominence Burn!"
Ezan winced before he had black flames form in one hand, and ice blue flames from his more recent frost dragon from in another." No…after all this, endless death is not the only outcome of this mission!
Flashfreeze Heatwave…Great Glacial Aegir!"
Ezan had his Rinni-Sharngan flare up once more before he built up his fire and ice at once, dashed toward his opponent, and hit him with his fist and unleashed a massive wave of cold fire, freezing Dabi.
Ezan saw Endeavor's shock before he glanced back at the frozen face of his most recent opponent." He still lives, but that will keep him out long enough to see this through."
"I understand…I'm sorry for all this."
"No…I'm sorry all we Enji fought for caused a universe were this could happen. But, it's not over yet. As long as the mission can still be completed, I'll give it my all."
He was about to head to the tower, till he saw a bolt of energy go by. He then turned around to see that Xehanort 's eyes glowed, before his body became covered in a knight like armor that had a goat like head as he regained control of his senses.
He then saw that flying, gray cloaks with nothing inside had went into Sephiroth and the others before the one winged Angel's eyes widened and he looked back at Ezah. A dozen floating black blades then floated around Xehanort as his aura surge." Nice try…but I'm not like the Xehanort you killed, I am the superior one bound to the Absolute master of the IV&C!
And I won't be derailed so easily! After all, we are connected to the IV&C network and thus the Whispers, the arbiters of fate appear when someone tries to alter destiny's course, as in the desired out come of the companies algorithm.
Sabbatha Hanti...We are the true order. Lodsam Hanti...we are the chosen ones. Cahanna risone Hanti...we are the fortunate ones. Jaya Hanti...we are the victorious ones!"
Ezan saw Xehanort 's neck twitch before he realized his opponent said the same words that the last opponents he fought to directly use Sieg 's power said back when he fought the Upper Moons. He saw the "Whispers" " Patch" the other agents of the IV&C before he chuckled bitterly." So in other words…you really are little more then a puppet to Sieg? Is that all every last one of you " employees" are? I won't fall to such puppets, not so easily! Everyone, just hang on a little while longer."
As he saw Kira still fight off Black Noir, he fended off the renewed attacks from Xehanort as others slowly dispelled the Absolute Hypnosis after the IV&C network " Patched them". He and everyone else on the artificial planet fought with desperate intent to keep the fight going, Astra being one of them.
While more Gold Rank Ignister were swarming the Cynosure Facility, Astra was not letting anyone get close to the others as she roared out," I don't care if you flood the whole universe, YOU'RE NOT GETTING THROUGH! How many more ass's do I have to kick till you get the message eh boys?"
She was about to attack on before she saw a glow, and saw Clank nod to her." I don't know the answer to that Miss Astra but it seems everything is set to start."
Astra eyed the Progenitor and realized it was starting to glow before she grit her teeth." Wait…for real? So, we brought Mike back?"
"We are about to find out." Rattrap uttered as he let out a uneasy chuckle." Just hang on to something, we are either all going to live or all going to die!"
The Progenitor glowed white, before she was everyone's work was not for nothing before it fired a white beam out of the chamber.
The beam went out into the plaza, where Tyson was still fighting Ganondorf.
The now official ruler of Wakanda was able to hold his own, but while he landed a few blows admis the King of Evil's onslaught, it just seemed to amuse the member of the IV&C.
As we return to Mike's childhood friend, Ganondorf saw the Black Panther was breathing hard before he snickered." What's wrong boy? Is the weight of a king to much already?"
Tyson grasped his fist tightly before he snarled back," Like hell asshole! Just firing out the best way to cap your ass!"
"You have spirit boy…a shame you are not as agreeable as your brother."
"I'm never going to be your slave Ganondorf…unlike my brother, I see what you are from the start!"
"Oh…you think you see me panther? I'll show you what I really am. Be grateful you pushed me enough that I take you seriously!"
Ganondorf then devoured his own Secret Stone, before he grew demonic horns and grew. As he donned a fiery red mane and towering stature, four phantoms came out of his dark aura before he laughed." You damned yourself the moment you stepped foot on here. You became king of your people only to die!"
"I did not come here for a title Ganondorf!"
Tyson shouted back bitterly." I came hear to save my people, and a friend."
"Well then, you're even more foolish then I thought! Die knowing how, huh?"
Ganondorf saw a light before the Progenitor's beam landed down on the plaza and formed a circle. The beam expanded, before it covered the size of a stadium.
As the light faded, a wave of light spread out across the entire area of space. Tyson was blinded for a moment, before he was shocked to see Mike appear in the center of the pillar of light. Having not seen Mike's new form, he saw the man with energy wings and platinum hair and blinked." Mike…is…is that you?"
Mike winced before he saw Tyson's own transformation and raised a eyebrow." T…Tyson? You, you alive man?"
"I don't know, are you?"
Mike looked around, and despite seeing a warzone around him he let out a confident smirk." Yah bro, I'm alive."
Tyson saw the relief in Mike's face and chuckled." Well I'm glad I did not bust my ass for nothing. Sorry, I missed your fancy transformation and was not sure because your not what I thought you were."
"Yah I know, this is beyond what I did in Corneria. It…it took a lot but now I'm even stronger than before."
"Trying to one up my own come back eh dude? Well, guess if both the living and the dead are risking everything just to bring one guy back, guess it has to be worth it eh?"
"I promise, its going to be worth it. But, its not just me who's back man. The Reaper Game might have only offered one winner but we all felt the game rule's sucked so we forced are own deal."
"What are you, huh? Whoa!"
The pillar of light expanded, before more people came out of the light around Mike. Shionne was fighting with Zero and saw Alphen was one of the ones who came out and nearly dropped her rifle." A…Alphen? They…they really did it."
Rinwell saw Law along side Bowser, the Tick, and Neku before she had tears in her eyes." Oh my god, if even that moron came back then, then they really got everyone."
Coco saw Crunch back as well before she grasped Crash hard." They…they really did it."
Neku looked at his hands before he pinched himself." I…I'm really alive again."
"We did it yo!" Beat cried out proudly as he patted Neku on the back.
Neon White looked at his hands and took off his mask before snickering." Never thought something as breathing would feel so good again."
Bowser looked around before he pumped his fist in the air." THE KOOPA KING IS BACK BABY!"
As he high fived Dedede and Crunch, Mike saw Tyson 's confusion at the Wicked Twisters, the Gantz members, Hyde and the rest of the Night Blade team, and the Neons before Mike shrugged." Got a few people you got to meet too. Guess with how many lives have been lost we felt it was fine for the good guys to get a break eh?"
Astra and her group made it to the other side before she saw Mike and widened her eyes." Mike…you…your really alive? What the hell is this?"
Mike saw Astra's shock before he smirked." Astra…you really are stubborn eh? And this? This is me beyond my limit, thanks to people giving up everything to push me this far. Guess in the blink of a eye I shot ahead of yah eh?"
"You think I give a damn about something like that now? Besides, even if your power level's stronger I'll still kick your ass with how clumsy you are!"
"Yah well I think others need their ass kicked more now eh? Seriously though…thanks for risking everything for us to get this far."
"You're not seriously surprised are you? I don't abandon my crew."
"I know, thanks. That's why I'm making sure everyone's investment can be paid off so that you, Tyson, Ezan, and everyone who fought so hard like, huh?"
Mike lost his train of thought as he saw Dean eying him before he raised his eyebrow." Oh and…you brought in a few new guys to pull this heist off eh?"
Dean just blinked a few times and saw the new arrivals giving each other high gives and what not before he blurted out an outraged," What in Sam's hell are you doing? You Idjit! The Dragon Always Coughs The Moon Back Up and your lives will be with it if you are just gawking like idiots! This is no time to party or you're all going to be dying all over again!"
Mike winced before clearing his throat." Sorry…who are you again?"
Dean saw everyone was looking at him before he let out an exasperated moan." I'm Dean…the janitor. You may not know me, but I know what a fool is doing and right now you're acting like a damn fool!"
"What are you my father? You're acting like how my grandfather was in the holovids of him."
"Dang it boy listen to sense while you still can there's people all around that want to send you back to where you came from and I did not do all of this to go there!"
Mike saw Ganondorf in the distance before he sighed, and grasped his weapons tightly." I get it ok? Just wanted one moment to feel good about pulling off the biggest heist there is. But, got to reserve the rest of that feeling for after this. Tyson…I'm a bit behind the times but is this guy your brother?"
Tyson saw Ganondorf crack his neck before he sighed." No…this is Ganondorf, the version from the Negaverse that lured my brother in and spat him out. I fought N'Jadaka, and he only realized how things were at the last second, and pushed me out of the way after the man he gave up everything for repaid him by trying to kill us both."
"Yah…he looked like an asshole but just checking." Mike uttered as he got into a fighting stance." Got a long list…and not much time to check it twice."
Ganondorf saw the aura from Mike and grasped his sword tightly." You're the one that these fools risked everything to bring back eh? Utter nonsense…such a arrogant light…will be snuffed out like nothing! You think you escaped slavrery? You just exchanged one shackle for another, eh Netherbrain?"
Everyone heard a moan before from out of the ground erupted a gargantuan elder brain easily towering above most buildings in Night City.
The brain was flesh colored, with crimson blood vessels and purple-blue chitinous growths emerging from the sides and the top, shaped in menacing spikes running along its dome, the flesh noticeably darker where the growths surface. It has an extremely long spinal cord and tentacles adorn the front of the brain. The Crown of Karsus sat on top of its head, simple yet well-made, adorned with rose jewels and intricate details.
A huge face appeared at the front of the brain, skin pale blue with eyes dark orange and pitch black pupils as it roared out," There you are...the boy shunned by your god! You are spectular specimens! You will make wonderful thralls to the absloute!"
Just as Mike glared at the Neitherbrain, Ganondorf's phantoms attacked Mike from all directions, but the "True Nahobino" just had his aura flare up with enough force for them to shatter instantly.
A moment after that, a surge of Malevolence energy erupted out of the ground to try and corrupt Mike as the Neither Brain prepared to fire a beam from above, causing Ganondorf to laughed." I won't deny you raised your power level higher than I expected…but all that power will be eroded and shackled by the one absolute force above all you, huh?"
To his shock Mike powered up to have the malevolence and the Neitherbrain be blown away at once as he narrowed his eyes." Not this time…this light is not being blown out! "
In an instant Savatar tried to impale Mike from behind, while Red Death tried to attack him from the right, only for the prince of the Bethal Kingdom to show his speed by countering the two speed force using enemies blows with strikes from his ton fon that shattered both of them instantly.
The Dark Knight Devastator and the Maestro then attacked him from the left and the right, only for the platinum haired man to show his strength by being able to hold back blows from the variations of Superman and the Hulk from the Negaverse at once. Savage Mark came down from above, but to his shock the new wing on Mike's body formed a fist to block the punch.
Ganondorf saw how effortlessly Mike seemed to be moving before he had his aura surge." Insolent boy…your just one fool opposing infinity!"
The bane of Hyrule from all over the Multiverse unleashed a massive red energy blast as Homelander had his eye twitch and yell out," That's right…you're not god…I AM GOD!"
Homelander fired his eye laser at full power at the same time as Xehanort appeared from above and had his own aura flare up." You think you're a hero boy? Hero's believe themselves to be moral and virtuous, but it's all an act. Darkness lurks in the pit of everyone's heart. Their light is a total farce, just like you! SUBMIT!"
Xehanort had all his floating blades surround him and fired lasers, before he fired a much more massive red energy blast.
At the same time Sephiroth had his own wing extended before he pointed the Masamune at Mike." Those who look with clouded eyes see nothing but shadows boy.
You're so clouded that you are blind to see that you are too weak to save anyone. Not even yourself. Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you? Perhaps. But what will you do with it? Let's see.
Hypernova!"
With a wave Sephiroth had an erupting super nova come down from a rift in the sky right for Mike.
At the same time the Dark Knights The Dawnbreaker and the Murder Machine attacked him with large energy blasts as well as Over Nu Etherion Void attacked with his variation of the Satan Gravity spell as Stormfront also unleashed a barrage of lighting blasts and Lord Drakkon had the Zeo Getter Emperor fire a direct blast down on him as well as some other members of the IV&C like Shang Tsung, and Hordak from the Negaverse showed up to fire beams as well.
Mike saw projectiles coming for him on all sides and just grit his teeth." You think I'm folding that easily!? Hell no!"
He cast a platinum barrier around himself that absorbed all the attacks before he widened his eyes." I did not come back to life to die again, get that through your head!
Compound…Fracture…FORECLOSURE NOVA!"
Mike had all the absorbed energy become a rainbow orb in his palm, before he kicked it, and unleashed crescent energy waves in all directions.
Some like Ganondorf and Sephiroth evaded the barrage but some like Xehanort got chunks of his armor blown off, while others like the Dark Knights got vaporized instantly.
Astra saw Mike looked like he could go on before she snickered." Damn Mike…whatever the hell you did now you almost are living up to the legend your folks have now!"
Mike looked at the Bancho Adolla Fangs in his hands and chuckled bitterly." Well…at least after all that it was not for a con."
Astra saw the bitterness in Mike's eyes before she winced." What did you have to do to get to whatever the hell you are? Did they torture you or something?"
"No…something far more painful. That's why I have to make these blowhards pay!"
As even the likes of Ganondorf and Sephiroth looked on edge, the Batman Who Laughs just laughed as he walked forward." My…so you really are of the same stuff as your parents, eh Michale Auro? Very good…then that means that Mister V-Day just might get some enjoyment out of personally breaking you. After all…it proves torturing your entire universe was not a waste of resources."
Mike glared at the man with no eyes before he cracked his neck." So you were one of the ones who planned out how the past few weeks went down? Good to know who to not let get off so easily!"
"I must admit you defied the odds like very few the entire Infinite Victory and Corporation have dealt with "hero" but this is game over.
You think you're making progress because you still don't have a idea at how vast we are. But you will beg for forgiveness now, or my masters will hurt you and your friends in ways you can't even imagine."
Mike grit his teeth as he had his aura flared up with enough force to cause all of " Night City" to shake." I don't have to be told all you can do to know that fighting to the end is better then surrendering."
"Don't you get it? We will rip your very souls out and do whatever the hell we want. We control everything in every universe now…no one hero is enough to change anything."
Astra and Tyson got along side Mike before Astra spat in the Batman Who Laughs direction." Who said he's alone?"
"Wakanda forever means something here asshole." Tyson bitterly replied. Ezan, Omni-Man, Shinryudramon, Mark, Tanjiro, Shiki, Chole, and more got along side Mike as Ezan replied," This is not just his will, but the will of the universe."
"Tsc, then everyone in the universe is going to die as fools it seems." The corrupt version of Batman replied.
A new voice then uttered," Even that won't stop us, not now."
To Mike's shock the Holocron that James had glowed, before in a shine of light James appeared in his physical body. He at once aimed his bow before Mike raised an eyebrow." Wait…Master Elrond…are you…alive?"
"Not sure precisely how to phrase it but at least I feel more alive than I have for a while Mike." James replied." That light that brought you all back to life, it seemed like I got caught in its effect. You saved me Mike, thank you."
A light came out from Ezan's necklace before a female voice uttered," Yes…every soul blessed with the light was effected, like little old me."
Ezan was shocked to see the light from the holy Materia surge out, till it took humanoid shape. Everyone was shocked to see Aries land next to Ezan in her classic flower girl outfit before she saw Ezan's shock and smirked." One way or another, lets end this together love. It seems…the lifestream has one last gift."
Ezan blinked in shock before he uttered," Aries…this is real right? Are…are you ok?"
"You're the one with the magic eyes dear, you tell me."
She kissed Ezan passionately before Mike raised a eyebrow." Wait your wife was in your soul the whole time!?"
"More like the White Materia near my soul but...close enough."
"Nice to meet you Mike." Aries uttered as she gave out a thumbs up." I saw what you did out there, thank you. Just, wanted to get one last moment of joy before riding in to hell with you all. But…I want to fight with those I love for, for the sake of Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and everyone's hopes! And thanks to you, I have all my power back!
Celestial Prism Power!"
The Centra woman unleashed the power she got from Minerva long ago to become covered in holy armor. As she floated above her husband The Batman Who Laughs just sighed." I hope you enjoyed that moment…it will be your last."
Warships appeared out of hyperspace in all directions as the Batman Who Laughs made a dramatic bow." Die knowing the futility of being the only fools to fight what is infinite!"
The ships were all about to fire, till suddenly a new male voice uttered," It does look like the darkest night…but that's why, it looks like this is a job for Superman!"
Everyone blinked as a sudden massive red energy beam blasted out from the sky, and vaporized a row of IV&C warships in one shot. As everyone looked shocked Ezan suddenly heard his codec go off, with Masaki's voice." On your left buddy, get ready! It's going to be a close call but the Alliance does not just give up on there own if they can do something!"
Ezan widened his eyes as he looked up." Masaki? Wait then that means, its him!?"
Astra looked at where the attack came from before she raised an eyebrow." Huh, is that a bird?"
Tyson then looked up before shrugging." More like a plane or, huh?"
The man who attacked the warships landed in between Ezan and Mike, moving like a speeding bullet. Everyone quickly realized it was a man in red and blue armor, with a S in the chest. Mike saw that the person looked like a black man with a friendly face before he widened his eyes." Wait…that looks like…Superman."
"I am Superman kid, just not the one from your universe. I'm Calvin Ellis, Kryptonian name Kalel, also known as Superman, and I'm the Kryptonian president of the United States on Earth-23. But I'm also the head of the Justice League Incarnate squad, of the Multiversal Rebel Alliance."
Astra blinked a few times before she cleared her throat." So…your friends with Masaki and the others? That alliance they been talking to, you're that High Command?"
"One of them." Calivn answered flatly." View can see the web of fiction that is all there is, but there is an Orrery of Worlds-a Multiverse of intelligent life and infinite potential.
I'm one of the ones who saw the need to stand against threats to that life and that potential. So I and the others raised a volunteer army. A squadron of super-guardians capable of reacting to cosmic-level threats.
It's an alliance of people from various cultures that have one thing in common, the desire to stop the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation from taking over all life. It's not been easy, I had to make more tough calls than I can count. I am sorry it took till now to back up but you have to understand this was beyond any one universe.
We in the alliance even had to give up our own universe's to see the survival of the Multiverse, we had to make sure every action we took was one that would keep us from losing the war.
But, Masaki showed us how you been struggling…and Queen Bria 's plea got enough of us to vote for the decision that you of the Prime Universe are worth saving. So, here I am."
The Batman Who Laughs, laughed yet again before he licked his lips." After all this…the pressure has caused the Alliance to crack utterly eh? After all, they really thought sending another Superman here would save anyone? Your just something to add to my collection!"
Calvin sighed as he floated up in the air." I like to think my actions set me apart. But if that's not enough we go to plan B."
The Batman Who Laughs was about to respond, till everyone heard a sonic boom, and a force smashed the "intelligence agent" Of the IV&C before he could even react as a new male voice uttered," Yah, you're not going to cheat your way out of a fight with me!"
Mike was shocked as the new attacker landed on the ground, and everyone could see that it was a tall and muscular man possessing the same unique spiky black hairstyle, dark eyes, and facial features of someone known throughout the Prime Universe. However everyone was confused as the man was dressed in a black form-fitting short-sleeved shirt and black pants with black kung fu shoes and blue leg wraps. He also wore a flowing red vest with a long backside that was secured with a blue obi tied over it at his waist and blue armbands.
Mike saw the man take out a red pole before he raised a eyebrow." Wait…your…Goku?"
"Yo." The man replied with a wave." Call me Xeno Goku to make it easier man. Looks like you guys have been in one hell of a fight so figured I'd get a piece of it! You guys think you're tough? Then take on a Super Full Power Saiyan 4... in Limit Breaker God mode!"
This Xeno Goku unleashed a wave of power before the light consumed him.
As the entire region of space seemed to shake Xeno Goku emerged with a body filled to the brim with overflowing ki. The normally reddish fur took on a magenta hue, and his hair was highlighted with a crimson red color along with dark shadows, similar in appearance to that of Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta.
He also gained a flowing purple aura similar to that of Perfected Ultra Instinct, and a skin-tight white aura when the primary aura was dissipated.
Xeno Goku grasped his fist tightly before he grit his teeth." You guys think you're so tough? Let's go!"
The Mastro and the Devastator Dark Knight both roared and charged at the new arrival, till a massive blue energy blast collided into the version of the Hulk from the Negaverse and blew a bunch of enemies into the air.
As the orb exploded a new male voice uttered," Focus on the mission Kakarot we have a job to do."
Mike saw another Saiyan man, one dressed in a black jumpsuit underneath white and brown battle armor with a tube-like neck strap, along with white gloves with large black sections on the cuffs and white boots with similar black sections on the uppers and a brown toe cap descend before Mike let out an uneasy chuckle." So I guess that makes you Xeno Vegeta?"
"Good your sharp." Xeno Vegeta replied." We don't have time to waste. Many of are comrades died just so we could rescue you so you better be worth it."
As Xeno Vegeta also powered up to his Super Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker state Mike shrugged." If you guys in the Alliance came here because you think this is a fight we can win, then sounds good to me."
While Xeno Goku and Vegeta instantly attacked many of the enemies around them in a second, Calvin got right in front of Mike and let out a deep sigh." Michale Auro right? I'm afraid you misunderstand why we are here. We did not come hear to save your universe, we came here to extract you all back with us to make are stand."
"What?"
The Superman from another universe looked around and took a deep breath." I understand this is difficult to hear, but if you want to defeat Sieg V-Day Elgan then sacrifices have to be made. If there was ever a time when the phrase " The needs of the many outweigh the few" it's now.
We can save the multiverse, but we don't have the means to liberate the Prime Universe right now. Truth is, we have only a short amount of time to leave before Sieg himself arrives."
"But…I thought Masaki said you guys had to avoid Sieg's attention at all costs? You sure are going to get his attention from this!"
"But we still got hear despite this universe being on" Lockdown" and we can escape as long as its before Sieg himself arrives. I know we just met but please trust me. We can't defeat Sieg right now, but while you were struggling to survive we figured out a way to oppose the power of a Eldritch Many-Angled Sixth Dimensional Dominion " being, and need your help to pull it off."
Mike saw those around him looked various levels of shocked before he winced." So your just going to warp us out of this universe just like that?"
"No, there's an extraction point. We can make it but there's not much time. So, are you ready?"
Mike saw the near endless amount of servants of the IV&C coming from the sky before he took a deep breath." No…but I was not ready for any of this but here we are. I'm not leaving my pals here out to dry though."
"I understand. We can get those fighting here, and those fighting above this face planet out, but I'm sad to say that's all. Doctor Multiverse… America Chavez…let's get to work."
A flash of light came out next to the leader of the Justice League Incarnate before a tan woman with a tee shirt with a star came out of a star shaped hole in the wall before Mike raised an eyebrow." So…she's just going to warp us out of the universe? What about the Dimensionator that Masaki needed?"
The new woman rolled her eyes before uttering," Look kid, rule number one of Multiversal travel, you don't know anything. We don't just want to hope universe's, we are traveling in a way that the IV&C can't track us. Since I don't want these assholes to know how we are throwing them off just shut up and follow are lead! Maya is ready on her end."
As the natives of the Prime universe looked at each other in confusion the" President Superman gave a reassuring nod." The short version, we are misdirecting the enemy. Just follow us to the point, and it will work. Now Masaki!"
Above the planet a barrage of lasers flashed by the Zeo Getter emperor before the Cybuster flew by the Gundam's before Masaki chuckled." Hey guys…looks like you guys could use a hand. Get ready to follow me quick! Takuma, Marvin, its go time! Caruleum...Calvina...Tytti...Gaiou...give us cover!"
Just as the enemies around the leader of the SRX Team could open fire, a barrage of energy blasts blew a lot of them away. The pilot of the Zeo Emperor Getter Zord saw the Terrormegazord and Gravezord get blown up from attacks from two large mecha.
The one on the left was a giant red demonic like mecha that was glowing with energy as its pilot roared out," You…you're a disgrace to all Getter energy across the Multiverse! Kaumi, Baku, let's make sure that Getter Arc puts this disgrace in its place!
Arc Shine Bomber!"
As the Getter powered mecha started forming a green sphere of energy, the other large mecha, one with wolf like shoulder pads for armor, and many wings started to glow before its pilot uttered," Ultra Gold Omegazord…full power! It's time to make this traitor pay for corrupting the morphing grid Omega rangers! Your going to pay for what you did to Zordon!
Omega Fire Fury!"
The Power Ranger serving the Negaverse saw the attacks coming before he snickered." You think you're clever? I was always the superior ranger with the superior zord and I, GUH!"
Before he could return fire, he was shocked to feel something shoot right at his helmet. As he fell to the ground a female voice cut in with," Your toy may be stronger but it does not help you if you never changed the locks…Tommy."
Drakkon winced and swerved around to see that his attacker was a woman in pink armor with a bow before his visor cracked, and it revealed the pale human underneath.
Drakkon snickered before uttering," So you returned at last my Ranger Slayer? But this is a very rude way of asking for forgiveness, Kimbery."
"I'm the Pink Solar Ranger now, to show I'm not yours anymore! You and your boss are not controlling me or anyone else " My Lord", your answering for what you did to me!"
"You really came here just to say that? You don't really think you can win can you? These rebels confused you, turned you against me! But everything will be how it should be, once you're at my side as we rule the Multiverse!"
"The Negaverse will ruin everything…and I'm opening your eyes one way or another!"
Drakkon snickered as the Pink Solar Ranger fired a barrage of shots to keep him busy.
At the same time a giant mecha that looked like a steel gorllia with rainbow spikes for armor glowed before its pilot, Gaiou, "the King of Destruction " yelled out," You think your the embodyment of destruction boy? Try me!"
As the new mecha bombarded the planet destroying Zord, the ones in the sky were not the only one giving sudden reinforcements to the natives of the Prime Universe, for at the moment Galva Iris saw everything going on before she glared at Zero." No…you're not getting away!"
She prepared to fire till a blue energy blast hit her into the ground.
Zero was shocked to see his back up came from a man that looked like Megaman X, only he had a white fur coat over his shoulders. Zero blinked a few times before he uttered," X…if you had a spare body with a new armor you should have told me damn it!"
The man smirked before uttering," I'm not the Megaman X you know Zero, I'm a member of the alliance.
Call me OVER-1, and please follow quickly as time's running out."
As he unleashed a barrage of blasts to give Zero, Axl, Doomman, Clive, and the rest around him time to move Mike ran to where Calvin directed everyone, and saw more members of the alliance were showing up to defend before a woman with long brown hair and a metal hand ran out behind Calvin and held out her hand," Come with me if you want to live."
A person that looked like a woman in a white spiderman outfit swung by on a web before pointing behind her." Cameron's right dudes do you want to live or what? Just follow the Spider-Gwen to the way out ok?"
Mike before he shrugged." Guess things are evening out for now Lady Luck. Alright, this really is the moment of, huh? Oh hell…no, not now!"
The very sky started to crack as a voice boom out," WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? ARE YOU TRYING TO PISS ME OFF!?"
The universe itself cracked, before Gingrich descended, or crashed into the Prime Universe. As the Upside down man emerged in his full height and covered the sky the member of Sieg's " Board of Eltrich Six Dimensional directors" let out a snarl that blew space ships away before he hissed out," WE TOLD YOU TO JUST KEEP THINGS TIDY AND PURGE ALL THE RATS FROM THE PARTY STAGE TILL WE GOT BACK AND YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THAT RIGHT?"
Suddenly an equally loud giggle could be heard as Carmen emerged…as a normal human size. The woman with many eye colors just looked around and licked her lips." Whoa way to be a mood killer! Try and turn that upside down frown, upside down and keep the mood light k? You got this all wrong, the home team went the extra mile! After all…seems they brought the Alliance right to us! Hey fam…who wants to see the last of the Alliance break right before the V man gets here eh? Oh this is going to be one hell of a photo bomb! Hashtag final genocide of the losers!"
Xeno Goku landed next to Calvin before he let out a bitter chuckle." Well was wondering if a serious fight was going to happen."
"Just stick to the plan Kakarot!"
Xeno Vegeta uttered as he landed on the other side. Calvin saw the locals looking mortified before he smirked." Don't worry…this is not the end. We were prepared for even this…but once more I'll need you to trust me. We can get through them if we stick to it. Goku…we can't go off the plan this time understand?"
Xeno Goku nodded before he turned serious." Yah…the mission comes before the fight on this one. Alright, lets go Vegeta!"
"Right!" The two Sayians then got into a weird pose before both saying," Fu…si…on…AH!"
As the two put there fingers together they merged…into a larger man with wild red hair.
His outfit was similar to typical Metamoran garb, including a black vest with yellow padding around the neck and arm holes, a teal belt, and black shoes with blue leg wraps, but with a couple differences, such as black pants, blue wristbands, and a black skin-tight shirt."
In a instant he made a beckoning gesture at the being filling the sky." C'mon, fight with me, "grim stinker" and see what happens when jokers fight
Super Full Power Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker Xeno Gogeta!"
The upside-down man laughed as the entire universe started to shake. " YOU THINK YOUR BAD DANCING SCARES ME SAYIAN!? YOUR SO LOST YOUR ALREADY DROWNED…AND THE THING ABOUT DROWNING IN DARKNESS…IS THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHICH WAY IS UP! NO MATTER HOW MANY OF YOU APES FUSE TOGETHER YOU'RE NOT OUT MUSCLING ME TOUGH GUY! STILL CANNONT THINK OF THIS BEYOND YOUR SIMPELSTIC STRUGGLES, CAN YOU?
YOU CAN'T PUNCH OUT MAGIC ITSELF! I AM LIMITLESS…INFINTE! I JUST TAKE THIS SHAPE SO THAT YOUR SMALL MINDS CAN UNDERSTAND WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU TO PAY ME QUICKER! WE ARE NOT JUST A FIGHTER…WE ARE THE GOD DAMN REALITY OF THIS UNIVERSE NOW!"
Gogeta shrugged before he got into a fighting stance." We been surpassing are limits for a while now…going the extra mile is just my thing!"
Carmen laughed before she took out her blades." Oh I want to break this guy before you eat him Gingrich! Dance for me monkey, give me a few billion more views before the shows over! Then I'll make a nice coat out of your fur and get even more views!"
Gogeta saw Carmen's swords glow before in a flash she was in front of him, with six spider like limbs on each side of her back bursting out to attack all at once. Gogeta moved so fast he was like a barrage of blurs before he smirked." Your as crazy as you are evil…but no amount of crazy is turning me into a scalp! Kaio-Ken!"
Xeno-Gogeta unleashed even more power and Xeno Gogeta's hair flared into a bright orange color. His Super Saiyan aura becomes noticeably brighter and more flame-like (resembling a Super Saiyan Blue aura in shape), while enveloped by the crimson, jagged Kaio-ken aura.
Carmen giggled, only to be shocked that her stab hit a after image as Gogeta yelled out," Stardust Rising!"
The fused Saiyan raised his hands in the air and generated a large arc of fiery energy, before forming it into two flaming energy spheres and combining them into a massive blast that disperses into a stream of energy arrows, bombarding his opponent.
Carmen widened her eyes before spitting out," That's all?
Her blades glowed before she sliced through reality itself and the attacks vanished before she cracked her neck." Your fusion is nothing compared to my fusion boys! Let's see how big your mouth is when its off your body! Spatial Blitz Slice!"
Gogeta narrowed his eyes and moved at full speed as a purple sphere suddenly exploded out of Carmen. The buildings around her suddenly got rearranged, before Gogeta appeared in the distance with a snicker." Nice trick, but I like my body where it is."
Carmen's eye twitched before a tongue came out of her hand." Well your not a phony monkey man. Good…making me try will give the kind of views today's party deserves!"
Carmen unleashed multiple purple flashes that Gogeta managed to keep dodging, causing Gingrich to snarl as eyes opened up all over his body." THIS IS NOT A GAME BROAD! IF SIEG SEES WE DID NOT CLEAN UP ALL THE TRASH BY THE TIME HE AND MARY GET HERE THERE GOES ARE BONUS! AS THE HEAD FIXER I AM FIXING THIS NOW!"
He widened his jaw before Calvin pushed a button on his collar, before he became covered with an white armor and took off to the air. The Superman from another universe charged at the upside-down man before his fist vibrated." We are not just a virus to be fixed. No matter how hard the IV&C tries to smash everyone else down we will rise up! No matter how horrible and big you get, you're not big enough to have your way forever!"
"JUST WON'T LEARN TILL THE END EH? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH I'll TAKE FROM YOU TILL ITS TO LATE DUMBASS!"
"I know about your power to absorb someone's memories…and this Element X coated armor will protect me from you trying to absorb them!"
"CUTE…BUT ILL JUST RIP THAT OFF!"
"Only if I don't rip that tongue off first!"
"YOU JUST DON"T GET IT! NOTHING IS STRONGER THEN A SIXTH DIMESIONAL BEING!"
"Only one way to find out." Calvin uttered as he had his fist start to rotate. Gogeta saw him and nodded, before his own energy surged. " That's right…we are going to show you IV&C blowhards that your not untouchable no matter how many " dimesions" your made of!
Atomic Kamehameha...times!"
Carmen saw her target hold his arms out in front of him, palms outstretched, with his fourth and fifth fingers tucked in, generating purplish-blue bolts of energy before she widened her eyes and had her own energy surge." Oh…you really think that's enough to kill me? Go on…give me everything you got and I'll show you how a Sixth Dimensional influencer sculpts reality!
Spatial…Cosmere…Transection!"
Carmen had the very fabric of space bend around her, and her hands were moving like she was in a kaleidoscope as her body rippled more and more before Gogeta narrowed his eyes." Even if you bend the universe itself…you're not blowing this blast back!"
At the same time Gingrich raised his hand, and had it morph into a giant glowing mace before he roared out," YOU THINK A INFINTE MASS PUNCH HAS ANYTHING ON ME!? FORGET ABOUT IT! YOUR GOING DOWN HARD!"
The Upside-Down Man prepared to punch the incoming Superman, unleashing a punch that was bigger then the sun. His target looked ready to punch back till right before impact he shouted out," NOW!"
A portal appeared right in front of him and he flew threw it. At the same time Gogeta prepared to unleash his beam, before he suddenly threw out confetti and streamers before he smirked." Sike!"
He suddenly used instant transmission to warp out just as Carmen unleashed her attack, just as she realized Gingrich's punch was heading right for her. Both of the members of the high table realized that their opponents had warped out of the way, to cause their enemies to attack each other.
Gingrich realized Carmen's reality cutting blade was coming right for him before he snarled out," WATCH WHERE YOUR AIMIN YOU…GUAH!"
He was hit right in the face as Carmen yelled out," This is so not trending, GUH!"
Both Sixth Dimensional beings hit each other, causing a shockwave that destroyed the ships around them before they were hit so fast they reached hyper speed levels. The shockwave from the impact seemed to knock them out of the entire galaxy as many of the Orbital Night Cloaks were blown away from Corneria.
The planetoid shaped like Homelander's head went flying to, but as Calven and Gogeta landed near Mike's group before the fused Saiyan snickered." They kept bragging that only a fellow Sixth Dimensional life form could hurt them, well guess they were right!"
Calven nodded before he closed his eyes." That trick won't work again, we have to go now. Ciri, Gogeta, Chavez, get in position!"
Mike saw the agents of the Multiversal Rebel Alliance get in positions before Calven nodded." We are not just warping, we are doing a multiphase warp using many individual's powers in synch so they can't track us.
Its how we got here…just brace yourselves and no matter what don't get out of the zone of energy or you will be left behind. Get one last look at your universe…I can't promise it will be here by the end of it one way or another."
Kira saw Black Noir looking engaged in the distance before he glanced at Ezan." My former apprentice…do what ever you have to…and I'll do what I have to here."
Ezan saw the former son of Grand Master Myers's grim resolve before he winced." Are you sure you want to stay behind? We need everything at this point and, it seems that staying behind is certain death."
"I'm already dead Ezan…but thank you for putting are past aside for the offer. I…have a few options left…and someone needs to stay behind to give those left a choice beyond damnation. No matter what they do, no amount of pain they can unleash will break me. Just…see the mission through…to the end."
"Understood. And Kira? May the force of light be with you."
"Ezan...thank you."
As the agents of the Rebel Alliance created a pillar of energy Dean motioned to Mike." Get in kid, they need you more than me. Just, save some room for a old man."
"Sure thing."
As everyone ran in position, Dean tripped and fell to the ground. He fell through just as Shinryudramon looked around and looked at Ezan." You know Ezan, I was not sure if my head got hit to many times but I swore I smelled the boss around here! It…did not smell quite like him but it still smelled like Ben!"
Ezan looked around before he winced." I…thought I saw something that matched his profile but was not sure if that was Mike after his transformation. After what happened before I, no, it could be Sieg we have to go!"
Calvin nodded before he saw all the ships had gotten into position as well." Alright, its now or never, lets go!"
Spider-Gwen had fired out a web for everyone to hold before she gave a thumbs up," Hold on to this folks, if anything was a life line its that one."
Just before the group could take off, a shockwave burst out as Gingrich roared out," NO ONE IS GOING NO WHERE!
GALACTIC SPIRAL ABYSS!"
The Upside-Down man could be seen in the distance, unleashing a shockwave that seemed to pin the entire solar system. The very universe seemed to bend like the Upside Down man's mouth was the center of a cone before he roared out," YOU'RE NOT MAKING A FOOL OUT OF ME! YOU THINK I WOULD BE THE TOP FIXER IN THE IV&C IF I WAS A DUMBASS!? FUGGEABOUDIT! "
Astra saw that it seemed like the entire region of space was being flooded from his mouth before she winced." This asshole is trying to flood space by throwing up?"
Ezan looked at the air around him before he grit his teeth as he realized he seemed to be touching the very air." What...I can touch the edge of space and the end of time? Its like the whole universe is folding down."
Calvin winced as he grasped his fist tightly." Its because that's what happening in this part of space Ezan! He's turned the entire area into a super/hyper compressed space."
Desler saw even Calvin and Gogeta were pulled down from the weight, and realized his ship was the nearest before he looked at his crew grimly." Everyone…it seems for the sake of the survival of Garmillas, I must ask you to make the ultimate sacrifice. Prepare the Neu Deusura to jump to lightspeed, right through his mouth."
His crew nodded before he pressed a button." Kodai…I'm going to self destruct my ship to break this monster's hold. Just…make sure my people survive. It was a honor."
The leader of the Garmillas clan had his ship suddenly break out of the formation before ramming Gingrich right in his throat.
Omni-Man saw how everything looked and patted Mark on the back." Son…I must do one final duty to ensure are race survives. You are the leader of the Viltrumite Race now. You changed me. Change them, for the better."
He burst off as Mark widened his eyes and yelled out," No dad...NO!"
As the other mustached man took off Endeavor sighed." Ezan…if my children survive this tell them I'm sorry. I take full responsibility for all that they suffered from.
I swore to bear that burden... and live my life atoning for it all. However, you've been watching me all this time, while I couldn't be there to watch you. You were someone I especially needed to do right by. No, I can't let you meet your end alone... but I won't let anyone else get caught up in our tragedy! I'll burn to keep the hope alive!"
As he left Amy suddenly hit Sonic before saying," Sonic…you have to keep running. I can't run as fast as you but, I can make sure you can keep running to save us all. Please…just remember me."
"Wait no Amy don't do this! I'm faster…I can do this!"
"Sorry, even Chaos Control is not fast enough here. Just keep running for freedom you silly hedgehog. Sayonara Sonic the hedgehog."
Amy burst off just as another shockwave knocked Sonic and Shadow back before they could try and stop her.
At this time Gingrich felt the flagship of the Garmillas clan ram into his throat just caused him to snarl." YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP ME! YOUR JUST AN APPETIZER!"
He prepared to clam down on Dessler, only for Omni-man to slam into the massive man's eye enough for him to wince before he yelled out," My people, are not your food damn it!"
Endeavor then hit the Upside Down man before yelling out," You stole so many futures but you won't steal are universe's future! The future is a path for the young to walk on, and you won't take it from them! The anger…the resentment…and even the punishment…I'll take that on myself so that my sons don't have to!"
Omni-Man smirked as he nodded at Endeavor." At least…my last fight will be with a fellow father fighting for his son."
Gingrich opened another eye and prepared to blow the two away before Amy smashed him and smirked." What about fighting with a girl hedgehog?"
Omni-Man snickered before nodding," Fighting with a true warrior, is the best outcome a warrior could ask for."
Amy saw Gingrich snarl at her before she glared back." No matter how big you are your not big enough to hold everything! Sonic is always leaving things up to the wind. My love is like trying to grab a cloud. It's like trying to grab the wind. AND YOUR NOT BIG ENOUGH TO GRAB IT CREEP!"
"YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"
He had a spike come out of his body to stab everyone, and Omni-Man and Endeavor blocked the strike. Even as Omni-Man got his body sliced into and Endeavor got his hand cut off they both stood there ground.
Omni-Man coughed up blood before uttering," Don't think...a true Viltrumite...BREAKS THAT EASILY!"
At the same time Endeavor used his own power to sear his wound shut as he yelled out," THE LIGHT OF THE ENJI DOES NOT GET BLOWN OUT THAT EASILY VILLIAN! JETBURN!"
As they both pushed back despite there injuries Amy narrowed her eyes." This is...Sonic's...and the universe's...and no, this is my soul! Infinite…Mass…HAMMER!"
Hyper Amy, Omni-Man, and Endeavor hit Gingrich just long enough to stun him before Dessler closed his eyes and gave a salute." Not the soldiers I thought I would see in my final moments, but its one that gives me pride all the same. Godspeed everyone."
Just as Gingrich prepared to fire, Alister jammed his own Omni-Wrench into his former master's massive eye just long enough to distract him before the Lombax General looked in Ratchet's direction." I was a fool Ratchet…and this is the only way I can atone for it while I have the strength. Please, make sure the Lomax survive, and not as slaves."
Just before the man as big as the sky could attack, the Neu Deusura self destruct unleashing a shockwave that caused the Upside Down Man's Galactic Spiral Abyss wave to relent.
Sonic saw Amy, Omni-Man, Alister, Endeavor, and the entire sky be consumed by the explosion and yelled out," NO AMY!"
Before Calvin saw the pressure waver and grit his teeth." Now…do it now!"
The agents of the Multiversal Rebel Alliance unleashed their multi-phase warp, and Mike's last look at his universe before he and his comrades were gone.
Aside from those that sacrificed themselves to give their allies the opening to escape, everyone had succeeded in warping out of the Prime Universe, aside from one person, Dean.
When the janitor tripped, he could not get up in time and everyone was to stressed out to notice. Dean saw that everyone was gone before his eyes widened in terror." No…NO! Why did, huh?"
He saw an extended arm had grasped him before a loud voice cried out," DEAN!"
To his horror he saw that Abby had followed him all the way hear, and did not even seem to care that she had holes in her body before Dean spat out," Abby…what…what are you doing?"
"Oh a wall fell down in the cafeteria so I went for a walk. All the fireworks were fun and then I saw you were going somewhere and went to get you so you're not late for the pizza party!"
"No…NO! Abby…don't you know what's going on?"
"Oh don't be silly I don't pay attention to all the stuff they always talk about, I just keep it simple! No one in the universe oays attention to me so I don't pay attention to them! So come on I know you wanted to make overtime pay but we are going to miss the party!"
"No…I..I have to be somewhere Abby! The people that I belong with need me My, my s, GUH!"
Abby withdrew Dean right up to her body and put him in a bearhug before she snorted." Oh don't be silly your part of my family so I need you more! C'mon!"
"NOOOOO!"
Abby dragged Dean back to the academy, obvious as people were yelling at each other all over.
Only one person watched her go off, and that was Enna Cross. She saw Dean yell in despair and sipped some tea." Oh "Dean"…most would say you suffered enough by now and could use a break but I'm not as kind as my sis was and am being even more strict then Zannacross would be on this.
All of this, at least in part was because you never accepted what kind of person you really were.
The only way things can really change for you is not for you to be with where you think you belong, but with accept what kind of person you really are, and where you really belong. Well, we will see if you can figure it out before the end, one way or another…we are heading there really fast."
Kros sipped some tea before going through a door and leaving the universe entirely, giving one last look at Dean crying out in despair, as the countless other civlizens of Night city did the same as the brutal battle at last came to a sudden end.
As tragic and abrupt as everything ended, Mike's groups effort was not in vain, for after going through dimensional barriers for the second time in less then a hour Mike could see solid things once more as he saw himself in a wide chamber.
He blinked and saw a red platform behind him, and saw Calvin, Gogeta, and the other members of the Multiversal Rebel Alliance were still around him. He also saw all his allies ships were still in the sky, along with Masaki's new allies before he saw a round golden moon in the distance before he took a deep breath." So…we…we are in another universe now? If so that space station better not be a hostile moon!"
"Its ok Mike." Calvin uttered as he took a deep breath." It worked. That moon, is the current main base of the Rebel Alliance, the House of Hero's."
"That…is a house from where you're from?"
"Not quite. It started as the spherical orbital station used by the cosmic entity known as the Monitor, but when he was killed by Sieg its AI, Harbinger worked with me to escape, that's where we gathered others."
"So, that means that we really are at the head of the, huh?"
He saw someone walk up to him, and it was a humanoid white furred rabbit in a gold and red superhero outfit. The rabbit just gave a friendly wave as he handed out a carrot." What's up doc? Figured you appreciate a friendly face in this cosmic Bughouse. I'm Rodney Rabbit, but since we are at work you can call me Captain Carrot, Earth-26's greatest champion and leader of the Zoo Force!"
Mike blinked as he uttered," Wait…you're the head of the alliance?"
"Hahaha…lordy no that's way too much pressure. Just one of the members. Hey Xena, Kelsier, Jack, Frost, Sally, Alex, Pine, Franklin, Padme, they are back!"
Mike saw a few ships coming for him, along with a blue phonebooth floating next to them before Calvin nodded." Those are the Astromegaship and the Autonomous Assault Ark Wunder commanded by Andros and Misato Katsurag and are just checking in.
Ah, good there's Christopher Pike in the USS Dauntless, Buzz lightyear in Star Cruiser 42, Dash Rendar in the Outlander, Commander Shepard in the Normandy SR-2, Berah Ronah in the Mother Vanguard, Marle in the Epoch, Jr in the Durandal, Malcom Reynolds in the Serenity, Lin in the Razorleaf, Holland Novak in the Gekko SL-1200 Mk-II, Franklin Richards in Taa II, Gene Starwind in the Outlaw Star, Allura in Castle of Lions, Silas Nash in the Battlestar Galactica, Obi-Wan Kenobi in the J-type 327 Nubian starship and Darth Raven in the Ebon Hawk with Home One behind him, Lacus Clyne in the Eternal and Kari in the Gummi Ship.
Oh, and that phone booth is not rubble its Doctor Who's TARDIS. "
Mike saw various ships he never seen before fly in before he realized that the sky was red and let out a uneasy chuckle." Ah, sorry, for a moment thought I warped back to hell."
"I understand but that's bleedspace, a kind of higher dimension that's rotating through the fifth dimension around a fixed point in the structure of the multiverse orrery of worlds."
"This…is where you live?"
"Not really. We don't have any fixed home world at this point. Sieg has destroyed so many of are universe's that we realized the most secure spot for high command was to not put any one universe in danger. I know it's a lot to take in but please, take the time you need to recover, and welcome to the Multiversal Rebel Alliance.
I want to be courteous but the grim truth is that this might be the last time you all get to rest because, we are about to see if are alliance can stop this ultimate crises of infinite Earths that will decide the fate of the multiverse. The time for the final battle that will decide the fate of all, is at hand.
