Chapter 295: Souls that Burst Past the Limit to Live Free or Die Hard!

The shocking outcome of the Universal Church of Truth's plan shocked just about everyone in the Lylat System, only the most fanatical were not distracted or horrified by Brandon hijacking the attempt to repair Heaven to power himself up.

One of those was Dyma, who was blasting at everything in sight with wild glee. He saw the Starhawk-class battleship next to him get blown up by the Snow White Prelude Wing Zero before he laughed." Hah, you guys's power should be at my side!"

Kira flew at the larger robot before he snickered." You must be a senile old man if that little show you been giving is going to make the likes of you be taken seriously. Its time you face your justice."

"I don't know what they teach Gundam pilots these days, but justice will never break as long as I live! Come VXT sword!"

Dyma roared out as he had his blade block all the shots the Might Strike Freedom fire day it before Kira sighed." Your either too insane or too stupid to grasp the situation but at this point you already sealed your fate."

"Oh, think my dreams are small potatoes eh? You better be dreaming really damn big!"

"I don't answer to anyone…not to God…and certainty not to you."

He had another burst of space lightning erupt to cause the DyGaian to slow down before its pilot let out another gutso filled grunt." Oh, you're good, but you're still going to be working for me before, GUH!"

The head of his mech was hit before the Tyranado flew by and its pilot groaned." News flash, you're not the president anymore after all this, your just another cheap villain! You can't have humanity's future or that of the VXT to yourself! Its over!"

"No…I'll be Dyma Goldwin until the day I die! I fight for MY justice!"

"Yah know…that would have sounded good if a real hero was saying it!" Sagiri replied bitterly." But coming from you it just sounds like a crazy crook who does not know when to give up!"

"Tsc…your still just a VXT Employee…how dare you talk back to me!"

"No…how dare you betray me and the rest of the employee's trust! You're just a nutjob that misappropriated are company's assets! But since you use to be my boss I'll clean up this stain on are record!"

"You call me a stain!?"

He roared with fury as his giant mecha fired a massive particle blast. As Sagiri had the Tryanno's thrusters burst her out of the projectile's path she giggled." Former President…I'll always be grateful to you for greenlighting Special Section 3. But VTX is not your personal property! Neither is Special Section 3, or Corneria, or any of us!"

"How can you talk like that?! I'm Dyma Goldwin damn it!"

"And I'm Sagiri Sakurai! I'll claim happiness for myself, thank you very much!"

"You could never hope to carry the burden of humanity's future, you uppity bimbo!"

"I wasn't going to! The future is something that every person can shoulder for themselves, with a little help from their buddies! SO time to end this job so I can get some drinks! Get out of here former President…you should know when you're not wanted! Pattern VXT! Formation QCN! Quark Cluster Nova!"

She fired a massive blue energy sphere at her former boss, and the DyGaian was pushed back through a warship before its pilot snickered." Nonsense…you think any thing my company built would surpass what I'm piloting!?"

Masaki flew by before he snickered." Maybe not alone but she's on a new team plan jackass! Cosmic Nova!"

The Cybuster unleashed his own energy sphere to combined with the Quark Cluster Nova, and as Chitose Kisaragi in the Vangrey, and some of the other SRX teammates added there attacks to the mix Dyma saw his machine starting to blow up before his eyes twitched." This can't be happening! It's all over…my dream…my life…NOOOO!"

As the DyGaian exploded Sagiri just sighed." We will enter our own golden age without guys like you dragging us into your personal dream! After all, VTX Corporate Philosophy 6: "If you don't want it, get outta here!"

Kira saw the fragments of the DyGaian fly by and just sighed." To think he thought he could just drag everyone around him to his desired world vie sheer force of will. Was I just a less honest him?"

Before he could answer he saw some energy blasts coming his way before he saw that Orphee Lam Tao and the NOG-M2D1/E BLACK KNIGHT SQUAD Cal-re.A he was piloting was still not down despite losing an arm before Orphee roared out," Your just another devil Gundam! You will pay for denying the dream of my mother and the rest of the Foundation of Truth's dream! I...I was born to rule...I can not lose to you! Why would you side with inferior scum unless you enjoy living with inferiors?"

Kira swiftly evaded the funnel blasts from the white mobile suit before he swerved around and stabbed the incoming moneyed mobile suit in the eye with his unit's Futsunomitama" sword.

As he effortlessly swung the blade down into the cockpit and vaporize Orphee and co pilot Ingrid, he sighed before kicking the Cal-Re downward and saw it explode he sighed." I'm beyond the point of having dreams. All I seek…is to make sure no one else's nonsense reach's the throne of heaven. Most of all those who have no idea what reality even is."

The Immortal Justice Gundam flew by and finished off Redelard Tradoll in his Shi-ve.C after evading its beam needles and impaling its target with the red mobile suit's head beam saber before Samuel Hayden uttered," For what its worth Kira…your more self-aware then these fanatics. If it will amount to anything is up for debate. It all depends on, oh? Seems we are about to get an answer."

It was at this time that Brandon sabotaged the ritual, and Kira just tried to lock on to the energy before he uttered," Did Ezan and the others fulfilled their mission or not?"

Castile looked below him before the angel uttered a bitter," Heaven is not restored, but the energy meant to make a "new heaven" did not just fade either. It…condensed? Someone…absorbed all of that energy just to raise their power level!?"

Kira saw Brandon's transformed state and let out a sigh of exasperation." Someone again attempts to poorly emulate my will? Tsc, it's like this is all just to mock me."

Castile replied with a wary," Despite what you think Kira its not all about you. But I will agree that Brandon has followed in the path of Brad Fowltror. Despite no relation between them, they are both men that betrayed everyone and everything for power."

"Well then, he will share the same fate. After all this time my stance still has not changed on such scum. And unlike what I attempted with Zannacross or what Brad pulled off with the Beyonder this man merged with no god."

"True, but it seems that he merged with the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum, and his state is like that of the "first Lantern," Volthoom. He was a man who made a pact with the one who in time would create the Green Lanterns, the Maltuians to find a way to save his home world. When he discovered the Maltusian species on the planet Maltus they were already an incredibly intelligent species who sought to learn the secrets of the spectrum.

The Maltusians planned to pour all of their emotions into a new battery they called the Great Heart, as they believed losing their emotions would lead to greater discoveries. Upon successfully completing the ritual, a power ring emerged from the center of the Great Heart.

Volthoom slipped this ring on and became the First Lantern empowered by the energy of the spectrum in the universe. But, he went mad with power of course.

While it's not the same precise process, in the end all this "Faith energy" matched that, and now this is the result. He did not just raise his power level, his power is, quite formidable."

"Well, I know from personal experience that God like power does not make one god. This fool will learn this the hard way."

Many were taking this turn of events with far less detachment than Kira, Lady Prospera being one of them. The masked Gundam pilot saw Brandon looking delighted before her eyes twitched." What…what farce is this? It's not that the ritual was unable to start, is it that it was sabotaged? How dare you Brandon Sampson! How am I supposed to bring back my daughter when you took all the power for yourself? You think your some sort of Kwisatz Haderach?"

Brandon saw the Gundam Calibarn, and some other disgruntled members of the Universal Church of Truth come for him before his grin widened." Well hell witch guess only the winners are getting what they want eh?"

"You monster…I won't let a mere simpleton ruin the new world!" As she fired from her broom-like gun Brandon narrowed his eyes as he shattered the beam with a finger. As projectiles rained down on him his aura flared up." If I'm the idiot then how come you all were to dumb to know how the rules of nature works witch? In the end…only the strong decide who's dreams come true! So let me slam the rules of nature in your face! BlackStar Rapture Bomb!"

Brandon put his hands in the air and his rings glowed before he formed a rainbow sphere. In mere seconds the sphere became the size of a spherical city block before he hurled it his former coworker.

Lady Prospera saw the massive projectile heading for her, and saw Suletta was still near her before her sister Eri yelled out," No, get out of the way sister!"

She took control and pushed the Ariel Gundam out of the way before using her power to cause some of the stray mobile suits around her to be remote controlled before they all tried to block the BlackStar Rapture Bomb.

As Suletta stabilized her Gundam she saw her mother's Gundam was already burning up before she winced." No…mother!"

Prospera saw her mask crack before she winced." Suletta…you have to survive…so that someone can remember what happened to us. Survive my child, s,"

At that moment the projectile slammed her into the Quiet Zero Elysium, before the blast ignited, vaporizing Prospera and the entire space station around her, creating a shock-wave that blew most of the mobile suits and ships past the planet's moon.

As Suletta stabilized her Gundam, she saw only a few scraps of metal were left of her mother before she cried out in horror.

Those who were on Brandon's side just minutes ago, like Maruki, were seeing this with despair. While he was blasted so hard he could hardly move, the Persona user saw the result of his ambition and grasped his fist tightly." No…Rumi…are dream was not supposed to be like this! Damn you Brandon! I…won't let this be the extent of my dream."

Another former ally was taking this even worst. While the seal James put on Makima held, some of the stray bursts of energy sliced into the metal pyramid, causing the angel to see what had happened.

Makima saw Brandon and gave him a death glare." Damn you…I compromised myself for the good of the public's safety, not so a fool like you could play God! I won't forgive you…EVER!"

Despite her energy starting to cause her seal to crack, everyone was still to distracted

Brandon just saw the amount of wreckage above him and cracked his neck." Well to be real, My mother taught me not to throw stones at cripples... but Uncle Walter taught me aim for the head! After all, my folks tried to "improve "the family image but going way back to old-school Shoboth house customs, its family customs to kill traitors without mercy. And what are we without good old family tradition?"

"Civilized decent people." Mike uttered bitterly, which caused Brandon to laugh even harder." Aw hell Mikey…don't get by now that all this shows what a joke all human " civility" amounted to?

My parents, your parents, all the suckers that just died like morons and everyone else that died because they were hustled by "heroism" all proved that the only thing that ever mattered is power! And now I have the power! I'm about to simplify the hell out of all this. I don't care who you are, you either bend the knee or I blow it off!"

Mike just shrugged as he eyed his former friend carefully." Man must be one hell of a power trip you have now eh Brandon? You really think you won it all when you're just like how I was when I was using the Divine Morpher to have the "Royal Ranger" fight for me! You can try using some power to handle everything for you but it sure as hell blows up in your face!"

"That's just because you're a weak ass beta who can't hold on to a damn thing! At last the power is where its suppose to be, and it's never going anywhere else!"

Astra grit her teeth before she tried to power up again to full power." I don't know asshole…I'm really good at making jackasses let go of what they don't deserve! Ia Death Waltz!"

The blond woman burst at her target fast enough to be a sonic boom, but to her shock Brandon was fast enough to catch the blade with his hands.

As Astra struggled to push the blade through her target's chest the many time betrayer let out a toothy grin." You got some fancy moves you demon whore, but you're not slick enough to be slicker then god!"

"That a fact? Cause I have a sword meant just to butcher "gods"!"

Brandon saw the blade extending before he narrowed his eyes." Well I'm better than those posers. I'll show you the rage of a real god before I spoon your eyes from your head!"

His right most ring glowed red before he suddenly vomited Rage Plasma. Astra quickly on instinct caught the projectile with her right arm, and yelled as she felt a mixture of napalm and acid mixed together surge across her.

She fell to the ground before throwing off her burning shirt and giving out a disgusted moan." You think you can just puke on me and take me out asshole? That only works once!"

"I have a lot more then that dame!"

He grasped his hand and the rings on it glowed, before Astra felt the ground shake, and jumped up just as a pillar of fire erupted like a volcanic eruption. As she and others tried to freeze the suddenly burning part of the planet he laughed madly." See? I can do what I want with this planet. I was going to keep Corneria around as a trophy, but I don't mind doing some hardcore remodeling to make it clear who the new boss is!"

Ezan saw more cracks in the planet's crust and glared at his current enemy." Damn it…he could rip the planet apart without even realizing it. I won't let any more lives be lost because of your madness " Parallax!"

He burst at the madman, only for his target to casually fling his wrist, and have one of the city's nearby buildings get ripped up and thrown at him. The sliver haired man winced and quickly used his energy to stop the building's movement. But just as he did, a long golden energy blade came out of the building to hit Ezan right through his right lung.

As the super elite Enji coughed up blood Brandon flew higher in the air and revealed the blade came from his ring. Brandon saw the pain Ezan was in and had a look of pure sadism in his eyes." If you care so much about these pathetic losers, you can die for them! You may be a legend but this legend's getting old!"

Ezan winced before he grasped the blade of energy in his chest." Damn you…if you were not such a coward then,"

"Then I would not be winning! I'll take a winner's pride over a warrior's pride old timer! I'm not letting you pull a fast one on me, time to die!"

He tried to fire another energy blast, only for Shinryudramon to knock the blast out of the way before the Digimon cried out," Like hell you are!"

Brandon saw Mark, come for him as well before he caught the half Viltrumite's punch and unleashed enough force to bend " Invincibles" fist back before hissing out," Oh I'm far above the likes of a tool like you Marky!" He slammed Mark into Shinryudramon, then easily evaded incoming blows from Shiki, Allen the Alien, Zero, Shinra, and more before he snickered." I'm stronger than all you put together! But if you want to join everyone else that died like a dumbass, then you can join them! For real!"

Another one of his rings glowed before another of his rings glowed, before he fired a barrage of energy blasts, that became Energy Avatars of Walter, 9S, General Remington, and the others that had died in the past day that were on his side.

As Kaine got hit by the energy construct of 9S, she glared at her former comrade and uttered," You even took their souls you, GUH!"

As she was knocked into the ground Brandon laughed as he had more constructs come out to attack those around him." With there being no more rules to the after life… I can create avatars of the beings I kill, literally stealing their identity postmortem! As the new God I should own everything after all!"

Astra tried to recover from the burn on her chest before she spat on the ground." This asshole is proving why I won't let anyone get away with acting like they are God. No matter how many powers and souls you absorb it won't help you once I figure out how to pull the plug prick!"

Before she could say more Mike cut in with," Don't worry, I already got a plan."

"Oh yah? Then what is it?"

"It's a plan that I can't bust out right away so I need time to set up."

"Oh yah? How you know its going to work?"

"I'm not betting on it but if you have a better plan then I'm all ears."

"Ugh…just don't choke yah hear?"

"Hey this is my home Astra its all or nothing."

Astra saw Mike's grim resolve before she just spat on the ground." Alright well how long do you need?"

"The amount of time you normally need to pull off a big ass special move, give or take."

"Ugh, just don't miss alright?"

As Astra prepared to regain as much power as she could Brandon hit Mark hard enough to break his limb before he sliced off the right hand of Allen the Alien and glanced at Mike in the distance, before sneering in disgust." You know your going to run out of morons to shield you from the ass whopping you have coming Mikey! I mean hell, You don't look like "Michael Auro" anymore. That's a name for a lord, but you're not a lord, are you? You're just meat. Stinking meat. You reek...Reek! That's a good name for you eh Mike!? I'm going to kick your reeking corpse to hell!"

"I don't care how I look or what guys like you name me, I just want to shut you up!"

Brandon then caught Shinryudramon's blade with a blade of energy form his hand, slammed him in the gut then hurled him into Ramathel before he sneered in disgust." Well too bad you're just too damn weak to do anything about it! You know it to because your too afraid to take your ass whopping like a man!"

He raised his hand to fire at his former friend, only for Astra to come at him from above before yelling out," YOU FIRST! Cocytus Death Mistral!"

Astra prepared to unleash her freezing sword attack, but Brandon's aura surged before he yelled out and had lightning blast out of his hands to try and blast the ice off of him. As he tried to push Astra back he seethed out," You can't freeze god you dumb cow!"

"Well good thing your sure as hell not God!" Astra cried out as she pushed harder. With how much energy she already spent in all the recent fighting she was having trouble pouring enough energy out, and Brandon sneered out," Oh I'm close enough! No matter how many morons I have to kill by the time I put the fear of God into everyone you all will be treating me like what I deserve!"

He prepared to unleash another blast from his mouth, he felt something and saw Mike coming at him from above. The lanky haired man had his own aura surge before he cried out," You don't know the weight of leadership Brandon, but I'm going to pound that into you! Friction Crusher!"

Mike unleashed a barrage of kicks, but Brandon did not even bother to block them. His eye just twitched before he snickered." You trying to make me sneeze myself to death moron? GET REAL LOSER!"

He grasped Mike's foot and suddenly swerved Mike around so fast it was like the prince suddenly was thrown into Astra. As the two were knocked back together Brandon unleashed another beam of red energy from his mouth, only for James to fire a barrage of arrows to send it off course. As his targets landed and rebound Brandon rotated his shoulder and cracked his neck." What…thought you could beat me by making me cramp up or something?

My shoulders feel a little heavier…so I guess you were trying to use that spell of yours that increases my weight or something? Dumbass, I could throw this whole planet into the sun if you piss me off enough. Adding ten lbs with each kick of yours means jack to me after how strong I am now! You'd have to hit me enough times for your legs to break before it would be a problem for me and as funny as that is in my head, I have a even better way of killing yah!"

"Yah…I think I'm seriously done with any more of your ideas! Does not matter if it's not able to take you down. Long as each thing chips away at you bit by bit…I'll keep going till its done!"

"It's done when I say it's done Mikey!" Brandon seethed out with raw contempt." For how much you moaned about your old man you're sounding just like him! Well your going to die like your and my old man! Nah, worst, I'm going to flay your skin to be my new banner over what's left of your sorry ass people! Tsc, enough's enough, I'm going to wrap this up before Homelander tries and be a kill steal!"

He formed energy into his hands before forming another sphere." Think you can beg me hard enough for me to spare you all?"

Astra narrowed her eyes before her energy flared up before howling out," I'll show you begging! Meidō…Zangetsuha!"

She once more unleashed her black crescent energy wave at her target. But while she hoped to consume Brandon in a miniature black-hole to her and the others shock her target's energy sphere suddenly grew, and absorbed the attack before it could do its intended effect.

Brandon's smug look got even bigger before he howled out," I did not call this name miracle just for show whore! You may not be true believers, but at this point I'm making you convert one way or another! This is for you Auro, for all of the hatred that everyone that your family has failed has for your bloodline! It's the repayment for the sins of your folks failures! So, time for one hell of an amen!

BlackStar Rapture Bomb!"

He flung another massive projectile at Mike, but Shinryudramon got in front of his friends and declared," You're not blowing away this city monster! Infinite Exia Ray!"

The Digimon fired his energy beam, only for it to slow the incoming sphere a moment. Brandon just sneered before hissing out," That's right, be the pathetic guard dog one last time you overgrown Digimon mutt! I hope you realizing your final moments are failing big time drives you nuts!"

Omnimon got next to the other royal knight before powering up." The Royal Knights will stand together to the end! Graceful Cannon!"

He fired his absolute zero laser as Imperialdramon yelled out," Giga Crusher!"

Before firing his own blast, as Eve, James, Megaman, Axl, Clive, and everyone else that could fire attacks, but it only slowed the BlackStar Rapture Bomb a little bit, causing Brandon to laugh." You can swarm around like maggots, but you can't hold back God's Judgment for long!"

Ezan got in front of Mike before he grasped his arm tightly." Damn it…after all the fighting today I spent too much. But I'll use all I have left to insure your machinations will go no further Brandon Samson! You're just like Brad Fowltror, the embodiment of the worst of humanity! But at least some of his madness could be traced to having parents who cared little for the law. You have even less excuse! Like Brad's ambitions, your own sins will catch up to you in time! Are power levels may be inferior to yours at the moment...even so...when we work together...support each other...we will build the future with are own hands! Judgment Arrow!"

While still recovering from his injuries and exhaustion, the super elite Enji fired a holy arrow to try and help the others. But Brandon just had veins form on his forehead as he howled out," Nah…you can't hold back the jungle forever "hero"! Brad Fowltror and I may have no relation, but I have mad respect for the man who brought back the rules of nature to the universe you lame ass "warriors of light" fooled." You thought Brad was the sum of all evil, but he was just a man who saw things as it is, like me! You could only try and deny reality before it struck back and made things right, and that's what I am!"

To his shock Mike dashed at him before casting a large green energy wall. While Mike was pushed to the ground he yelled as the barrier slowly seemed to absorb the massive energy ball." You're not anything like Nature's revenge" Brandon!

You're just a selfish sadistic piece of trash that only cares about himself! I'm going to show you how much your way is not the natural order the only way you understand!

Compound…Fracture…FORECLOSURE FLASH!"

Mike horrified Brandon as he converted the massive energy sphere into a small orb of light green energy, before kicking it, unleashing a massive green crescent wave. Brandon only had time to curse before he was hit by the projectile, and an explosion that caused the entire capital planet to shake. Mike took a few labored breaths before he uttered," You can take your "faith" and shove it up your, GUH!"

Ray's of light blasted out from the sky to blow Richard and those around him off there feet. As Mike landed on the ground hard he heard a vicious snarl," Your lucky I have junk in my eye or you would have seen your god damn arm blown off Mikey!"

He saw the smoke clear, and saw that Brandon endured the same attack that killed Xehamaru's monstrous form. The attack left a scar on his chest and vaporized the clothing on his shirt and burnt his face, but clearly failed to do any lasting damage.

Brandon grasped his head before letting out a deranged chuckle." That's your best shot Mikey? That counterattack stung like hell, but you can't beat me with my own power. After all, I'm the strongest man in the whole universe now, half of me won't beat all of me! Your" Resolve", your " tenacity" and whatever crap you still have in yah all means jack!"

Astra spat on the ground before she gave out her own furious snarl." You're just the biggest deluded asshole in the whole universe you piece of, GUH!"

The blond woman saw a flash of light, before a sword of light came down to go right through her right knee. She tried to slash it off, but more swords of light came down to hit her other leg, her arms, and in the gut. As the swords of light caused her to scream in pain Brandon let out a sadistic grunt." Even if a Demi-Fiend or whatever you are is a pain in the ass to kill, I'm going to pull it off! But just suffer for a while and watch while I kill all your friends! Time for the light of the rapture y'hal!"

A light then came out to blind everyone, before in the blink of an eye Brandon blasted a hole through Ezan's stomach. Shinryudramon roared out and tried to slash Brandon from behind, only for the man with greenish hair to swerved around and fire a beam from his finger to blast through the Chrome Digizoid armor.

Shinryudramon cried out in pain before he could no longer hold his form, and reverted to his human form of Daigo. Brandon saw he was surrounded, and that even some of the other Enji and some of Astra 's friends were coming at him before he crossed his arms." Your all so dumb trying to dog pile me that you should kill yourselves. In fact, I think that, your constructs of rage, fear, and death from your life constellations would be a laugh!"

The rings on his hands glowed again before a shock-wave of light covered the entire area. After a few more moments everyone around him saw their shadows glow, before clones of light of red and golden color seeped out.

Tanjiro blinked a bit at seeing his own red colored clone before he raised an eyebrow." Wait is this suppose to be, GAH!"

The swordsmen from Endless Illusion saw the red clone of himself stab his knee, before Nezuko blasted him back with purple fire. Mike saw his own clone look ready to kick him before he grit his teeth." How many games you going to play till your done with, GUH!"

To his shock Brandon charged right through the construct and grasped Mike by the throat. He hurled the curly haired man through Sacrosanct while he yelled out," Oh the game's over Mikey! Time to die!"

He hurled Mike all the way to the river near Neo Arcadia, hitting Mike hard enough for him to hear many cracking sounds. As Mike moaned in pain Brandon flew above him once again." Now I can kill you in peace! All those tricks may have cut it just a short while ago but you're just a man dude, and you got jack on God!"

Mike chuckled bitterly before he got to his feet." You know…no matter how many times you call yourself God dude, it won't make it come true. Your, GUH!"

Brandon burst down and grasped Mike by his throat and slammed down so hard that the entire planet seemed to shake." You want me to make an example out of you eh? Your last stand was a joke! Because in the end you guys all thought you were saviors when the will of the real people is me!"

"Maybe there are more then a few assholes who cheer for the bigger asshole, but it still does not mean you can just get away with all the pain you caused!"

"But that's the thing Mikey…true justice is that the strong set the rules! Don't matter what I do, as long as I win there's no fee!"

"Oh…there's still a bill Brandon, even if you're the strongest due in the universe you still have to pay that bill. Oh, sure you can use that godly might to try and smack that bill back, but it just means the interest piles up!"

"Don't you get it? Things like "interest" are just things that matter in your precious society! But we are going back to all the way to true old school rules, where the strongest do whatever the hell they want!"

"But you're not really the strongest! You just took everyone's energy to, GUH!"

Brandon suddenly crushed Mike's right hand while leaning forward." Again dude, the how and the why don't matter, only the what! And the what is that I came out on top, and the only thing that matters is the last man standing! Cause all you can do is die!"

"That…and this."

He punched Brandon right where his previous attack scarred him before yelling out," Mana Account Foreclosure!"

Brandon's eyes glowed before uttering," Your last attack did not make me feel a damn thing you piece of, huh?"

He prepared to punch through Mike, till suddenly his aura started flowing into Mike. He saw his aura was getting lower while Mike's aura was growing before his eye twitched." The hell? No way you're strong enough to force my energy from me!"

"Not in a direct "transfer", but I was able to set up a mana "account". I been able to transfer the friction of my target's for a while now, but James and Ezan got me to understand I could evolve the magic's range if I trained with it enough, and so I did.

After seeing Mahito and all those others use those Domain Expansion spells I'd figure I'd have a go at it too! This whole time, I was setting it up around the area, and making it big enough to affect you. Had to throw you off your game so you would not notice it till it took effect, so thanks for being a single minded prick Brandon!"

Brandon winced and looked at his neck, before he saw a magical symbol was on his neck. He then saw that the same symbol was on Mike's right hand, and that mana was flowing into it. This caused Brandon to have veins form on his forehead before spitting out," You think some kind of fancy poison spell can kill me? I'll rip you apart!"

He unleashed a barrage of lighting blasts, but Mike was suddenly fast enough to unleash an after image and evade the blast.

As Brandon turned around Mike just shrugged." It's not poison, it's a contract. Once the loan has been established, failing to meet the terms of the loan means your assets are sized. I gave you some of my energy in the form of my attacks, and so now your energy is becoming mine. Since so much of your energy was assets stolen from others, it's easier to size right back! Its like they say Brandon, the things you can't escape are death and tax's!"

Brandon had veins form on his forehead before he snarled with rage." You think you're so damn clever eh? I have so much power that there's no way you can just take it from me! Your body will burst before you're done! But that's still not good enough a death after how much of a pain in the ass you been! Mocking your new god, means you face the wrath of the universe itself!"

He unleashed a blast, and saw mike seemed to vanish. He looked around, and got hit in the head before he turned around, and saw Mike had the Quantum Mask Lani-Loli on him, and used his phasing power to escape another blast and sink right into the ground.

Brandon saw this before his eyes glowed red." LIKE HELL CAN YOU SLIP AWAY FROM ME THAT EASILY!"

He made a hand gesture before the very ground around him exploded, causing Mike to get blasted into the air, and for Lani-Loli to get knocked off him. He grasped Mike by the neck before lightning came down from the sky and crackled around Brandon's right hand.

The energy formed a drill before Mike saw his former friend looked deranged." Time for the will of the people to at last be fulfilled!"

He was about to bring his hand down on Mike, till a barrage of chains of energy suddenly burst out of the ground to grasp his hand. He realized the chains were strong enough to hold him back before a furious female voice cut in with," You are not the embodiment of the public's will Brandon Sampson, I am!"

Mike was shocked to see none other than Makima walking up from the right. She was bloody, and seemed to now be naked before Mike blinked in shock." Makima…you still won't go down?"

The Control Angel let out a deranged giggle before uttering," You weighed me down so much with that spell of your Mike that I got caught in the magma that Brandon unleashed and that was very annoying. You own me a new set of clothing but for now we have bigger issues.

I would be rather furious with you right now, but lucky for you I'm even more furious at this traitor. Brandon…you mocked the angels and ruined paradise for your own selfish whims."

"HAH! You can only blame yourself for being so desperate that you took whatever bait was thrown in the water you damn has been! The time of the angels is over! All that protect the weak are going to die and they will have no choice but to be at the real men's mercy!"

He unleashed a barrage of ring death beams only for Makima to roll out of the way and narrow her eyes." I can't die you damn cur! As long as the public needs me I'll keep coming back to cleanse you of your undeserved grace! You will obey!"

While the Geass symbol formed in her eye, Brandon's eyes glowed to." Hell nah! I'm a higher being then you now freak you can't control me!"

"I will get you to submit! Jacob's Ladder!"

She had a pillar of holy energy come down to strike Brandon, and he tried to overpower the beam but realized his energy was still leaking into Mike before his face turned red." I'm not serving for nobody ever again! You're going to pay for this!"

He slammed the ground with his free hand, and caused purple crystalline spikes to erupt underneath Makima and impale her. She fell to her knees before giggling darkly." You stupid man…I can not die."

"Well I'm going to kill you again and again till you stay dead!"

Mike winced before uttering," No…you killed to many already Brandon!"

He jumped up and tried to get more energy from his target, but while losing some energy Brandon still held Mike back before smirking." Oh the kill count on Blackstar Parallax is just getting started dumbass! Throw in as many meat-shields as you want, you still can't stop the unstoppable!

Your time has passed…the only thing's up for debate is how many of you losers are going to die before everyone gets the message! Justice, compassion, heroism is as dated as last year's memes! Deprivation, domination, forced capitulation is where its at! This is what it means…TO HAVE POWER!"

"No…that's not all power is!"

"Oh yah? You rant about all this bank crap but you're the ones that made every other thing but power amount to nothing! All that's left is to accept the real men won and die!"

"No…its not over yet, I'm NOT DONE YET!"

Mike and Makima both struggled to endure Brandon's outburst, and one of the few that could see them struggle was none other then Bria. Between seeing her husband die and her dreams ruined nearly shocked Bria enough to be catatonic, but seeing her brother in law fight for the fate of her, and her entire nation's people, snapped her out of it.

As she saw everyone being pushed to the brink, and saw Mike struggle from upon the ruins of Sacrosanct she grasped her necklace tightly." Is this further punishment for me being stupid? Having to see a monster burn everything Richard cared about to the ground?"

Jerry looked at his mother before he winced and looked back at Mike." C'mon Ma, can't you do something? I thought you got all this new power so what's the deal with that? Just wish Brandon to lose the power he took and we can start over!"

Bria winced before she looked at the ruined sky above." I don't have that power anymore Jerry. Brandon absorbing the energy meant to be the new heaven shattered the Cosmic Cubes, the Zohar Pillars, and the Argent energy empowering me. Its…its all in him now."

Before anyone could say anything a calm, detached voice uttered," Its true the power you now command is not what it was before my queen, but its not gone, you just, have to find how to use what's left."

Bria turned around and saw that Maruki was still alive, though grasping his burnt face. The former counselor saw Johnny Sliverhands, Rattrap, and a few others that were still in the chamber draw their guns before he put out his hand." I'm not your enemy, not now.

I can see things for how they are, and can clearly see Brandon Samson hijacked are dreams for his own ambitions. Maybe that was his plan all along, but I was desperate enough that I took a gamble, and loss. I can't stop him, but I can help try."

Mike's sister in law saw Maruki looked grimly resolute before she winced." What, what do you mean?"

Maruki pointed to the Angel Halo in the sky before he took a deep breath." You might not be able to have the power to make a new dimension, but your thoughts are still united with those that Angel Halo is connected to.

Brandon's power is from the energy converted by the Faith Generators, by people's wishes. If you can reach out to them to try and resist Brandon from within…it might weaken him enough to make the difference."

Johnny Sliverhand looked around before he shrugged." Since the prick does not seem to have a brain-computer interface implant on the Netrunner ways can't work so, guess it's worth a shot. I can try and get Alt to have all the AI's we uploaded to work on diverting everything to convert energy."

Jerry looked around before he grasped his mother's shoulder." People are going to steal from you. You can't stop them. But, everybody has their own little personal security things—things that they think will foil the crooks, you know?

In your own mind, right? ..You go to the beach, go in the water, put your wallet in the sneaker. Who's gonna know? What criminal mind could penetrate this fortress of security? I tied a bow. They can't get through that. I put the wallet down with the toe of the sneaker. They never look there. They check the heel, they move on. This smuck thought he stole everything, but seems like you can steal it back in time to make a difference ma!"

George saw Mike evade another energy blast and winced." It's not a lie, if you believe it ma. I feel like my old self again now that the whole paradise stuff is wearing off.

Totally inadequate, completely insecure, paranoid, neurotic. It's a pleasure. After all, serenity now insanity later so Hoochie Mama or something. Mike may be an doofus but at least he's not a selfish idiot. This jerk has to know who the master of the house is!"

Bria saw her family's encouragement and nodded. I, I just have to find a way to convert all are wishes, into something that can still be a reality."

Before anyone could answer, Ringo walked up and cleared her throat." I, might have a way that can help. Bring him in Arrow!"

The Soul Hackers brought in an old Namekian. He gave a bow before he looked around." I know we are short for time but I'm, Monaito, leader of the last Namekians who lives on Planet Cereal.

My dear friend Granola, died fighting Homelander so I was in despair. The Universal Church of Truth reached out to me in my despair, but, after a while I think they just wanted to use my dragon ball's for there plan."

"Dragon balls?" Rattrap spat out." These guys are grosser than I thought."

Bria paused before uttering," Wait, you mean the magic gems that summon dragons that grant wishes! I thought they were lost centuries ago?"

Monaito sighed before he looked down." The ones most are aware were indeed lost, but these were, different. We tried to create new ones, and they were unstable."

Arrow and Saizo then took out two baseball shaped Dragon Balls before Manaito sighed." These Dragon Balls are currently tied to me, the last Namekian on Cereal. These Dragon Balls are unique in a number of other ways; they do not turn to stone for any length of time after a single use, allowing them to be used as long as they could be found. But the power of the eternal dragon Toronbo that spawns from them were, unstable so, the Grand Unifier decided to go with other plans. But, even if it's a long shot if it can help us from damnation."

Bria saw the two Dragon Balls, then saw the Angle Halo above, then saw Mike struggling to hand on as Brandon got more and more vicious. She then took a deep breath and nodded." Let's do whatever we can. Mike…I know…you and I have been at odds for, your entire life.

But, while I won't deny that I wish Richard lived instead of you, the reality is that you're the one who is still alive, and I don't want you to die. I'm, I'm not strong like all you but, I, I want to do all I can. Everyone please, please don't let Brandon's lies get away with dragging us down with him!"

She focused, trying to reach out to all the souls connected to Angel Halo, before it started to glow.

Suletta had flown back near Angel Halo, and saw it glow, before also seeing the fragments of her mother's Gundam start to glow before she winced." Please Ericht, help me save are mother's dream!"

The GUND-BITs around her glowed, before combining with the Aerial Rebuild Gundam. A sphere of rainbow energy formed around her before she cried out," There' still so much I want to do. We have to get everyone to have there real wish's heard!"

The 00 Qan T flew by her before Setsua nodded." Don't give up...we will work together to make sure everyone can understand properly! Trans-Am Quantum Burst!"

Joan had the Phenex's psychoframe turned green and created wings of light that started spreading through space before he added," Rita...even if it takes being reborn again and again we will not let what we been through be for nothing!"

The 00 Qan T and the Unicorn Gundam Phenex combined there powers to charge the Angel Halo, causing it to unleash a surge of energy.

It glowed a big brighter, till the Dragon Ball's before her started to glow, turning golden. Maruki widened his eyes before nodding," You're doing it Bria! Your wish to make the Dragon Ball's work, are becoming reality!"

Bria smirked before she looked up." Well, it's a start."

The Namekian nodded before he declared," Takkaraputo tottoronbo pupirittoparo!"

After speaking in his native tongue, the Dragon Balls glowed before unleashing a thin dragon with axolotl-like features, causing him to share an appearance theme with the amphibian-like Sugarians.

Apart from that, Toronbo had fully colored red eyes, light ocean blue skin with thin spikes starting from its head all the way to its tail. It also has thin spikes hanging from the back of its jaws all the way to the corners of its forehead. These thin spikes had tiny hair on each of them.

The dragon roared before declaring," THE MASTER…THE MASTER IS DEAD."

Bria nodded before she sighed." I, I know. I'm sorry, but we have to keep your master's will alive."

"THEN SPEAK YOUR WISH!"

Bria looked in aw before she took a deep breath." Can…can you make the one named Brandon Sampson die?"

The Dragon paused, looked at the glowing man in the distance and growled." THAT IS BEYOND MY POWER!"

Bria saw Mike struggling before she grit her teeth." My brother-in-law, Michael Auro is trying to take the power Brandon gained from him. That power was from wishes converted to energy. Is there anything you can do to split Brandon from that power?"

Torono looked at Mike, before his eyes glowed. " I CAN…TRY AND ENHANCE HIS BODY TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE HIS POWER BEYOND HIS CURRENT LIMITS BUT…THERE WILL BE COSTS!"

"I understand…please do what you can."

Brandon saw the sudden massive dragon looking at him before his eye twitched." You can summon whatever pets you have left Mikey, none of them are a bigger beast then I am! I'm going to, huh? GUH!"

The man with blank eyes suddenly felt a surge of pain in his head before he winced." No…you took enough energy from me for me to feel dizzy?"

Makima giggled bitterly before she shrugged." It seems…the souls across the universe realized they gave their energy for a sham, and are now…protesting."

"WELL TO DAMN BAD!" Brandon howled out as his energy caused the entire planet to shake." Enough of this crap! I'll just blow everything away and that will end everything!"

As an energy orb formed in his hand he looked at Mike with pure hate." You sure are pulling tricks out of your ass like there's no tomorrow, but in the end your just to weak to stop the top dogs from doing what they want!

It's destiny for the strong to devour the weak, so high time this fraud that is society is blasted into so many pieces that it never comes back, and we will never get denied what we deserve again! Let's see you block this at point blank range sucker! Rapture Blitz!"

Brandon tried to unleash an energy sphere to nuke everything around him, only for Makima to suddenly dive up and try and intercept the blast. She had chains burst up to push the sphere upward before she glanced at Mike with lament." I seen the laws of nature for sometime, yet I still devoted everything to seeing public order realized…so I'll keep trying to see it through, to the end.

Mike…I am sorry I put you through additional strife. My, duty makes me do conflicted acts at times. But I seen that, peace in the universe is worth fighting for. Seeing your struggles Mike, only furthered my resolve, even as that put us at opposing paths. I come to like country mice over the years Mike…did I tell you why?

My friend had a farm out in the country, every fall I would go visit and give time a little help with their work. Rats hide in the soil in the fields. They'll damage the crops…so before the ground is covered in snow, you have to exterminate them.

You did it by digging into the soil and having dogs catch and kill them. But I find that very calming. As an angel I was suppose to see life preserve, but to be shackled by endless compassion would cause everyone to suffer, so I had to make decisions.

After all, the mice were fated to die so it seemed natural to not favor them. But you're like that mouse to me Michael. That's why, despite all odds, I want you to live."

"Makima I, huh?"

To his shock chains went into him, and absorbed the energy in to her before she smirked." You were willing to risk destroying your body to take in all of Brandon's power. I'm, taking the cost from you, so that you can live."

"Wait…you're destroying your own body for me?"

"Consider this…my apology for the pain I caused you. Please…please keep order alive. I love this universe, one full of amusement. Don't, let them ruin it with their chaos. Don't, let them make the universe without movies, bad or otherwise."

With all of her power she burst out of the planet, taking the energy bomb with her before it exploded in space with enough force to rock the planet. Mike realize what happened before he winced." No…Makima!"

Brandon just yelled loudly at the sight before cracking his neck." What a dumb broad…I can do attacks like that all day! She was using you the whole time what are you even upset for? Soldiers die like soldiers. Like a pathetic dog dying for his master. Guess that's all the angels were in the end eh? Whatever just die like the, huh?"

At this moment Mike punched Brandon just as Torono's eyes glowed. Mike's body then surged with energy before he hit Brandon hard enough to make him feel pain. Mike looked like he was going to explode with rage as he seethed out," You…YOU don't tell me what to feel you bastard! I had it, I HAD ENOUGH! I WON'T WATCH THIS ANYMORE!"

Energy suddenly burst out of Brandon and flooded into Mike, causing Mike's aura to light up to the point where it was a pillar of holy energy seen by everyone in Neo Arcadia.

Brandon's eyes winced before he uttered," No way…your body should bust like the ant you are trying to take that much power at, huh?"

He saw the Divine Mugen Nova and the Oathkeeper sheaths still on Mike's sides glow, before Mike's eyes suddenly started to glow." Want to bet on that asshole? I, I was a lot slower coming to terms with the family bloodline then Richard. But…I'm still their son! Even if it took some extra help, like sizing your energy to make it my own, I'll show you what my true limit is, right here, RIGHT NOW! RAHHH!"

Mike's eyes turned glowing gold-yellow, before his hair then turned golden, like that of a Super Saiyan, or his father and brother.

Brandon saw Mike not only have a golden aura crackling with lighting from around the man before him, but also saw golden angel wings come out before his eyes twitched." What…the hell…is this? You…you were too weak, WAY to weak pull this off!"

The Dragon behind him just roared before uttering," YOUR WISH...HAS BEEN GRANTED. FAIR...WEl."

The Dragon Balls beneath him crackled, before shattering into dust before he could finish talking. As Torono faded away Mike took a deep breath."Being a late bloomer is not the same as not being able to pull it off! Thanks for the "help"!"

"Bah…this is just another cheap trick! You can't con your way out of this you son of a, GUH!"

In a flash Mike unleashed a roundhouse kick that smashed Brandon's teeth out, and also knocked him across Corneria in a matter of seconds.

At the speed of light Brandon unleashed a follow up kick to knock his target downward, and from there warped to where his target was heading and kicked him again to knock him into the air before he could cause an earthquake with his impact.

As Brandon landed on the ground he coughed up blood and could only gargle a curse, causing Mike to glare at him." That seem like a con to you Brandon? I"m not really big on the whole savage fighter kind of gig, but if your forcing my hand for that to be the only card I have to play then I'm sure as hell not going to half ass it!"

The impact caused all the light clones Brandon had attacking everyone with to freeze , causing Astra to see Mike's new state, and blink in shock." Holy crap, that, that's really Mike? This…this is not like that Divine Ranger thing that was fighting for him when we first met?"

"No Astra…this is Mike's true potential unleashed." James uttered wearily." Even if it seems like it took a wish from apparently still existing dragon balls to unlock the limits of his potential, he was able to surpass his limits."

Astra saw Mike's new state carefully before she raised a eyebrow." But…those angel wings…his brother did not have those."

Ezan chuckled weakly as he struggle to recover." It seems…Mike had more of the " angel gene" then Richard had…that could be a reason he had a harder time drawing out his power. But now he has the " Grace" of the angels on top of the power. Still…well done Mike…I know your parents would be proud of this."

Astra saw the deadly serious look he was giving Brandon before she smirked." Better late then never…kick this parasite's ass Mike!"

Brandon realized he was having a hard time getting up thanks to the sheer magical energy Mike was releasing before he snarled with rage." You damn dirty cheater! Don't feel like a hot shot, this is all because you took MY energy!"

"What happened to results being the only thing that mattered Brandon? Is it because you're realizing your about to be in the same place your father was when you killed him? Are you starting to understand the pain and suffering of everyone you've killed? Do you get how this feels now!?"

"DON'T MOCK ME MIKEY!" Brandon roared as his aura caused the buildings around him to be knocked over." You just caught me by surprise, I won't hold back…I'LL CRUSH YOU LIKE THE ANT YOU ARE!"

He burst at Mike and punched him, only for his fist to snap upon impact. As Brandon roared with pain Mike calmly uttered,"

Quasar Deuxième Hachis!"

Mike's feet glowed with light, before he once more kicked Brandon before he could react. In the blink of an eye, he unleashed a continuous assault of five kicks, with each part of the combo being performed faster than the one before.

Each kick created a cannon of pressurized air bearing the appearance of an comet flying by, before Brandon was hit to the ground like he was a falling meteor. Mike hit him in the ocean, and the blow was strong enough for the ground to be seen from above.

As Brandon yelled in pain Mike grasped his fist tightly." All that barking about being the best in the universe and the truth is you're just a sneaky coward who got lucky a few times.

But again, the bill's due and you sure as hell paying up! You never trained, you were just given your strength from your dad and Walter, and so you just thought you were a "chosen one."

If I'm being real...growing up I did not want to be a hero like my dad and Richard. I mean, I saw they been fighting for centuries and nothing seemed to change and I'm like,"Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothin'. You get shot at. Pat on the back, blah blah blah. 'Attaboy.' You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. For a time a lot of folks, and maybe even my dad kept doing it because they thought it meant something, but it only seemed to lead to pain with no gain, a suckers bet. But...I get it now. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.

I don't see myself as chosen; I just know I have to stop you! You can make light about debt but it's not just about a nation's currency, its about the actions you take.

And the actions you taken, are always going to end like this Brandon! I just want to be the one to do it because I am so sick of you! My parents, my brother, Makima, Van, Giyu, Tyson, X, and so many others all because of people like you."

Brandon saw the raw hate in Mike's eyes before he unleashed a roar of pure hate that knocked the waves off of him. He then burst out to be above Mike before his eyes twitched." You…YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! I was trying to be merciful, BUT NOW I'LL KILL YAH ALL WITH ALL I GOT!"

He roared, before the energy constructs all burst apart and became beams of energy. He then ripped off a part of his own neck where Mike's spell was before he let out a deranged laugh and had his body heal." You withdrew your last check " hero'! Its all mine now…and you're going to wish you died with your family!"

He pushed himself before his body bulked up, reaching 9'10 and looking as bulky as those like the Hulk, and Broly.

Brandon had an unhinged look before he flexed his muscles." Any last words you mother, GUH!"

Mike kicked him in the face again, before uttering," What about yours?

Divine Nova Liquidation Concassé!"

The now angelic man attacked with such extreme speed that the space ahead of the him was distorted. Brandon was able to rebound enough to fire another massive blast from his mouth, but Mike kicked through it instantly. As he heard his former friend moan he yelled out," Get the hell off my planet!"

A sonic boom was heard as Brandon was kicked right out of Corneria. The impact shattered his ribs and smashed him right through an asteroid. Brandon 's entire body was twitching and he realized the entire right side of his face was burnt almost as bad as the Batman Villain Two-Face before he yelled in rage, even in space.

He realized his right hand was disintegrated from the impact before he seethed out," That hurt…THAT REALLY HURT! Think you can feel so cocky? I'll wipe that stupid grin off your face and leave it bloody on the floor! Mikey…you're going to pay…you're going to wish you were never born!"

As he flew back down looking half like a corpse Mike sighed." Hard pass, I felt like that for to much of my life already but guess its time you see how that feels eh? It's not fun when you're on the other end eh dude? Feeling sorry for what you did to me, and your own damn family yet Brandon?"

Despite his injuries Brandon just laughed madly." Is that it Mikey? Trying to kick my ass till I said I was sorry? Hahaha…the only thing I'm sorry for is not trying to kill you harder when I killed pa back at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe!

You want me and everyone else that was" mean" to you to be sorry eh? Your still waiting for that moment when all us "savages" reach "enlightenment?" All this time and you're STILL all morons! Predators never feel bad for devouring the prey, cause we don't want to share with those weaker then us!

My folks, and all you Angels, Enji Knights, Hero's and ALL the other losers kept trying to make real men "domesticated" but it never lasts because you're the frauds and we are the real deal! Your old man thought Brad was an abomination but he was more real then all of you who think justice is anything but a joke! Even when you purged every "Dark soul" from the universe you could not keep the rules of nature down, and your old man's own teammate screwed him over more then anyone else and put you pansies in your place! All of this is because you're still trying to desperately change that fact, and that's why you all got played so hard that you killed yourselves for us!"

Mike grasped his fist tightly before he looked at the damaged capital planet around him." I'm not going to deny that. My family was mad because I kept telling them we had to see things how they were, and that them pushing so hard for a fantasy is what lead us to this point. But, the thing is Brandon, if we are playing by the rules you swear by, then it's the end of the line for you.

After all, I don't want to waste time trying to save someone who has not shown any ounce of guilt or drag this out to pay you back, I'm just so done with this crap."

Brandon winced before he realized his hand was shaking from fear, till he looked behind him, and saw the pillar of energy coming out of the Argent Energy Tower still connected to the planet's core, and realized that the rift in reality caused by Bria and the others trying to repair Heaven was still there. He saw that one Zohar Pillar and one Cosmic Cube were inactive, but still intact, causing him to grin.

He then narrowed his eyes and chuckled darkly." I'm done with this crap to Mike, as in going easy on you all! You may have stolen my power to " Level" yourself up, but I'm still the one who became God! I was going to enjoy killing you as a man, but if you push me to do this the hard way then you asked for it! NO ONE MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME AND LIVES MIKE!"

He formed a massive energy sphere in his hands before his eye twitched." Can you see your death yet Mike?

Ultima BlackStar Rapture Bomb!"

Mike winced as he saw Brandon fire his massive projectile not at him, but at the planet itself. He quickly had his aura explode before uttering," Like hell am I letting you take everyone with you! Stardust Breaker!"

The man with golden hair used his mother's rainbow like projectile to slam into the larger sphere, and shatter it. But as he looked up he saw that Brandon had just used that attack as a decoy to fly into the crack between realities. The last Zohar Pillar that survived floated behind Brandon before the man with rings had them all glow." Nice try but it's not that easy!

Guess Bria's going to get her wish after all because I decided to remake heaven after all! Sort of…it will be my heaven at least! I remember Walter and some of the others say that the rings that gathered Faith Energy were made from that M'Krann Crystal from the Shi'ar, which was supposed to create a new reality.

I'm going to create my own reality where I'm god, and pull all of you in to the space-time anomaly! Then…it will be god damn impossible for me to lose, when I'm everything!"

Mike winced before he realized Brandon was not fooling around." God damn it Brandon, now you're exploiting the Shi'ar to?"

"Tsc…Walter, the Claw and the others told me that those bird faggots acted all tough but the crystal use to belong to the race called the M'kraan, before they got wasted by the Shi'ar who destroyed their planet and took the Crystal as their own!

History is just one beast one upping the other till the last man is standing, and that man is me! Mikey…we are going to finish this in MY world! RAHH!"

He fired beams of energy from his rings, till it caused the crack in the sky to glow, and suddenly a sphere of energy consumed both Brandon and the hole in space and became a blood red sphere. Astra saw the ruined ships around the sphere get sucked in before she raised an eyebrow?" All that talk for him just throwing a bigger bomb? He's just talking out of his ass!"

James saw the sphere above the planet was sucking in Angel Halo to before he winced." That's not an energy sphere Astra, despite the red color this spell is looking like it has the properties of a black hole."

The blond woman's eyes twitched before she grit her teeth." So, he's really such a sore loser that he would take everyone with him? God damn it!"

Ezan eyed the space-time anomaly before he winced." No, its not like that. As deprived as he's become he's not bluffing about his intent. Between the remnants of the M'Krann Crystal and the Zohar Pillar he is trying to shove the entire universe into a higher-order domain, where he is its god!"

Mike took a deep breath before he appeared next to Ezan in an instant." It…its almost like how heaven broke in the first place, and this universe is broken enough already. What do we have to do to stop it?"

Ezan saw how grim Mike looked before he closed his eyes." The way to stop it that would do the least amount of damage to this dimension is to shut it down over there. With my Rinnegan, I can get us there. But be warned, even if it just was birthed moments ago he still might have gained power inside there as the master of this new reality."

"Maybe, but he's still a dumbass so it won't save him." Mike uttered grimly." I'm on a roll so let's end it while Lady Luck's still got my back!"

Astra snorted as she got up." Hell Mike…level up your job class and you think you're a big shot eh?"

Mike winced before he shrugged." What…still think I can't pull my weight?"

"Heh, nah you're at last showing you got guts, just don't think this is enough to kick my ass yah hear me?"
"Yah well, right now there's only one guy I want to own."

"Aright then, lets do this!"

Ezan nodded before he grasped his hand tightly." Time to finish the mission. Kamui!"

The sliver haired man recovered enough mana energy to once more have his Rinni-Sharingan open a Space–Time pathway into the dimensional void leading to the Interdimensional Rift Brandon created.

Chole got in front of Mike and winced." Let me come with you. No matter what he has become, he's still my brother. For my parents' sake, I have to see this through."

Mike saw she was serious before Hutch nodded." With my rod I can warp us back in a instant if things get crazy."

"Alright then." Mike uttered." Just get ready to bail in the blink of a eye dude. Lets go!"

Mike, Ezan, Astra, James, Chole, Hutch, and a few others that still had enough energy to stand ran into the portal. When they emerged on the other side they were on a floating island with an sandy terrain, isolated aside from a pillar of red energy in the center.

As soon as they set foot on the ground they heard the sky itself laughing, before Brandon emerge from the pillar." Aw hell you're hear already? Figured you were going to try and run!"

"Why run when I can just finish this now!?" Mike uttered as his aura surged and caused the pocket dimension to shake, causing Brandon to appear out of the pillar of fire, his body now completely covered with the same gem like substance of his rings.

He grasped his hand tightly before pillars of energy emerged all over." I know the feeling about being drunk on power Mike. But I tell you what, you letting being more than an ant for the first time go to your head! I'm beyond something you can handle now no matter how high your power level gets!"

"You sure are going all out to sell the god deal Brandon. But your way over your limit so I'm repossessing your reality! The bigger you make yourself out to be,"

In a flash he appeared in front of Brandon and roundhouse kicked him across the face. Even he was shocked to see Brandon's body shattered into countless fragments upon impact before he raised an eyebrow." Damn…did not think it would be that easy."

Ezan looked around, and saw the fragments of Brandon's body seep into the ground before he winced." It's a trap Mike! His aura is everywhere, his mind is a part of every part of this dimension!"

Mike winced as he saw a fist rise up from the very ground before he kicked it away and rolled his eyes." So, its déjà vu from what Xehamaru did? Damn it dude you really are just a cheap poser to the end!" To his shock the very sky seemed to have Brandon's face seep out before twin pillars of energy appeared in its eyes." Nah dude…I'm everything now…and your nothing!

Eternal Resentment Chain!"

From his mouth launched a blood red chain that tried to impale Mike. The angel shattered the attack with a kick, only for countless more to burst out in all directions. While Mike moved so fast he was like a golden blur and shattered every attack that came his way, more attacks kept coming out without pause as Brandon laughed." No matter how much power you have your going to run out of juice soon Mikey! But not me…I'm God here, in this space the only rule is that I have unlimited power! Your pansy ass tricks got jack on this!"

James quickly blasted part of the ground that was Brandon's head trying to devour him before he winced." I know it's a long day but we have to figure out this madman's weakness before he absorbs Corneria and the entire Lylat System into this reality!"

Ezan looked around and winced." We were not there, but this situation reminds me of Zamasu 's last stand. When Lacus pushed him to the edge Zamasu deliberately cast aside his divine body and tried to evolve into a "Cosmic Abstract" specifically to ensure he can propagate his insane view of order and justice by merging with the fabric of existence. Lacus overcame that by giving Zamasu a false sense of victory and causing his will to contradict himself, inflecting a self-inflected blow more or less. Are current opponent has much more, straight forward motives though."

Astra looked around before she unleashed a wave of ice to freeze a chunk of the platform before she groaned." Far as I can tell this whole" New universe" is just as far as we can see right? Its not even as big as a planet so just blow the asshole up!"

"The only thing is that he's grasping are universe to, so a chain reaction could once again, cause are already damaged universe to crumble further. The best I can explain it on short notice Astra is that its like curing cancer from a body before it can take the body with it."

"Yah well this is one hell of an ugly tumor."

Brandon had his face appear on the ground before a pillar of life forms emerged.

On the front was a horned humanoid, the top of the region was a barrage of red and canine creatures, the middle figure was a grinning horned skull, and the back had two more skeletal figures that all fired various projectiles.

His face also appeared all over the sky before his mad laughter could be heard in all directions." Game over heroes! I'm a god that is beyond what you can take down! Hell at least everyone will be joining you soon!"

His mouths all prepared to fire a barrage of energy beams before a calm voice uttered," Brandon Samson…when where you under the impression that a God can't fall? Despite assumptions, the reality is there exists no true separation between gods and men; one blends softly casual into the other. After all I know from experience, that such power won't save a fool from his judgment.

But with how unsightly you are, I'll speed up that process!"

Ezan widened his eyes as from the left a barrage of energy blasts shot out and vaporized the energy faces they touched.

He turned around and saw a pillar of light, before the Mighty Strike Freedom flew in, with the holographic image of Kira seeping out of the cockpit. He was glowing a golden color, nearly like a ghost.

Ezan saw the former Commandant of the Titan's Special Forces have a blank expression before he tensed up." Kira…they freed you to?"

"Not quite my apprentice. My soul is currently bound to the Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam, and when that was sucked into this realm, my soul was able to take shape, like a phantom. I'm not at full power, but I have gathered that I still have the means to make a difference."

Astra just looked at Ezan and some of the others shock before she raised an eyebrow." Who the hell are you? Another angel like Abdiel and Makima?"

Kira chuckled darkly before he grasped his hand." Not quite. I'm someone who…had a few disagreements with these individuals here in the past."

Mike eyed Kira carefully before he grasped his fist." Oh yah? And what's your stance on the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation?"

Kira closed his eyes before uttering," I assure you the only thing I feel for such individuals, is utter disgust. Michael Auro, Astra Fitter, trust me when I say I can understand the burden of following in the footsteps of a father that is a legend" That's why, at the moment are desires are aligned."

"Yah well, if you're not talking out of your ass then works for me!" Mike uttered as he shattered another barrage of chains. Kira nodded before he pointed his mobile suit's beam saber at his enemy." I'll prove my words by diverting this scum's attention. Ezan…you will know what I mean. You must finish this before things are beyond the point of no return."

Brandon eyed the new arrival before he snickered." Your some hot shot Gundam pilot trying to get a medal like that stuff still matters? Your one weird freak but you picked the wrong party to act like a hotshot asshole!"

Kira saw the energy blasts come his way before he grasped his hand tightly." No matter how many different energies you absorbed heathen…you have not evolved beyond me. For how much your bodies changed your going to regret that your mind has not changed at all."

"Hey…I prepared myself to overrule Uncle Walter's mind stuff in case he turned on me that won't work!"

"Then allow me to show you the difference in class between the likes of " Brainwave" and myself.

I'm not like the" hero's" before you, I been waiting centuries to vent my rage and I'll take it out all on you.

You shall fall…for I am Darth Judicar, the judge of humanity!

Bewildered, confused, shatter…

Mugen Hōka!"

For a moment it looked like the entire sky had changed to that of a psychedelic background before Kira looked like he was crushing Brandon's head as he directly attacked his target's mind.

As explosions blasted out all over the area Brandon moaned as he fired laser beams all over the area." What the hell are you doing to me? You're making me dizzy, but that can't kill a god! I'm not afraid of you!"

"Unlike those before you I'm very familiar with the inner-workings of the divine, and how to crush such things!"

"I don't fear you, I, huh?"

Brandon then saw the Utopian and Lady Liberty were above him. He saw his parents giving him looks of hate before he winced." No…we killed you…and with us rigging the after life your souls were buried with no chance of getting out!"

"To think so lowly of us son." The being that looked like Sheldon Sampson uttered, causing Brandon to snarl with total fury." YOU DON'T LOOK DOWN ON ME NOW! I'm BEYOND YOU! I'm BEYOND YOU ALL! YOU WERE WEAK! I BECOME GOD! YOU CAN'T JUDGE ME! EVER!"

As energy blasts went all over Ezan grasped his fist tightly." Kira is using his magic to attack Brandon's mind with illusions! I understand now, Brandon's core was moving around all over this pocket dimension but now he's too distracted to move his core around. Mike, strike Brandon to shatter this whole dimension while there's still time!"

Mike took a deep breath and saw one of the Brandon's had a red sphere in the center of its head, and realized that must be the core. He took a deep breath before his aura surged to the point that his golden aura reached the sky." Nine billion terrorists in the universe and I gotta kill one with smaller feet than my sister-in-law eh jackass? Seriously though…Brandon…you thought you're on top because you became everything? If you became everything, then your nothing man! You thought you could read me like an open book, but I could do the same when I knew what was going on!

You felt like your family pressured you into a life you did not want, and you would do anything to change it. But…what did you even get out of this? You don't have anyone left who's important to you…and no one cares about you either! You have more power than you know what to do with and it made you lose sight of what you use to be, the man I thought as a friend.

It backed you into a corner till you killed anyone that could take that" authority" away from you! Is being " God" really giving you what you wanted? Are you really this stupid!? I guess you will have to ask yourself that when you die because I'm holding on to what matters to me till the end! And my family still is important to me to. That's why…to the end I'm going to live free or die hard!

Dad…mom…Richard…this one's for you! Radiant…Shinryukenha!"

Mike raised his hands and extended his palms in front of him, generating a colossal golden energy sphere before channeling the tremendous energy of a Shinryukenha forward, fusing the technique into his mother's own holy energy mean and launching it as a mighty energy blast/energy wave.

The blast caused Brandon to see through Kira's illusions before he roared with rage." NO! I AM NOT LOSING TO YOU MIKEY!

BLACKSTAR COSMIC ARMAGEDDON BOMB!"

All of the Brandon fragments fired beams to become a massive black energy sphere that combined with Mike's attack. The blasts caused the entire reality to crack before Brandon hissed with raw hatred." True or not…the only thing left for me is to keep winning! I saw Seig before he took off…and this kind of grit is just what it takes to win in the real big-league dumbass! I gave up everything, because only those who give up everything will be on top!"

Mike was pushed back a few feet before he grit his teeth." You're the dumbass! If that's what it takes to win then you won nothing. I don't care how many universe's Sieg controls across the Multiverse, all he has is death! I'll never go down that path no matter what…and if your trying to take me down that path then get the hell out of my way!"

As he pushed harder Astra started to see cracks in the very sky around her before she widened her eyes." Hell…is the…sky cracking?"

"Yes." Ezan uttered bluntly." It seems that…the outcome of this attack, will cause collapsing dimension walls and creating a rift in this pocket universe. If it goes through, it will collapse entirely."

"Hell yah then its working! Huh?"

Everyone saw the entire area start to crack before Shadow widened his eyes." We…may want to move back a little if that's the case."

Astra paused before she looked around." Wait…you're saying this blast could blow up Corneria to?"

"No." Kira suddenly answered." This dimension will collapse before it reach's Corneria. However, you all better realize what it means to be in a universe when it collapses, even a small one?"

"Doubt its fun!" Mike threw in as veins appeared on his forehead." So you guys better get out of here!"

Astra blinked before her eyes widened." Hey dumbass what about you? Yah you come a long way to hardly being able to handle a fat guy with a big stick to this but a dimension collapsing on anyone seems lethal!"

Mike took a deep breath before he smirked." Hey…I'm a lot faster now so I think it's not to crazy a bet that I can bail in the last moment eh? C'mon Astra…thanks for the concern but, we got to think of the bigger picture here. This power of mine might just be a fluke, and you guys are the ones who need to keep being able to keep the fight. This is about as useful as I can get so, might as well end on a high note eh? At least, I can make up for my mistakes."

Ezan winced before he grasped his blade tightly." Don't be so reckless to atone Michael! I had the same train of thought in the past, but this is not the way to preform one's duty. I should be the one to, ugh."

Ezan coughed up blood before he fell to the ground. Mike looked at everyone before he winced." Sorry Ezan, but looks like you, James, and the rest are to worn out to make this a argument eh?"

Kira looked at his hand before he sighed." I'm not a physical presence in this reality, so I would not be able to hold him down. I am…sorry Michael."

Mike saw the man who tormented his father looked detached before he nodded." Thanks for the offer dude. Just…do whatever it takes to keep are universe alive you hear?"

Kira shocked everyone by looking sincere." I understand, and will not fail that duty."

Brandon howled with rage as the entire pocket dimension started to shake. NO! THIS IS MY UNIVERSE! I'm GOD HERE! YOU WILL, GUH!"

Chole punched her brother in the face before spitting in his direction." No matter what dimension your in Brandon, your still paying for what you did! Ma and Pa may forgive you but, this is what you deserve!"

"DAMN YOU SIS!"

Mike saw Brandon was distracted and yelled out as he unleashed all the power he had left. The beam went through to hit Brandon right in the head, and as he yelled out Hutch grasped Chole and warped them out with his Rod. At the same time Shadow winced before uttering," It really is now or never. Chaos Control!"

As the Chaos Emeralds started to glow Astra saw Mike give a thumbs up before she winced." No wait Mike!"

Ezan saw the reality around them start to ripple before he winced." Is that…a Phenomenon Intervention? Wait n,"

He and everyone else in their group warped out of the dimension an instant later. Kira nodded before his image faded, before Brandon roared in outrage." DAMN YOU! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EVEN THINK YOUR DOING MIKE!?"

"I'm trying to be a hero." Mike uttered bluntly." Because even if I did not want to be one, someone had to step up. Guess there's still some credit left in that.

But you Brandon, like it or not the time's come for your final default! Yippee-ki-yay asshole!"

"Walter...DO SOMETHING! Please, Homelander just, NOOO! AHHHH!"

Mike saw Brandon's head explode, and saw the entire dimension around him looked like it was going to collapse before he chuckled." So this is how a big damn hero moment feels eh? Well…it's been one hell of a, huh? Whoa!"

Mike saw a flash of light, and felt nothing after that. Everyone else had just landed next to Bria, before the startled queen of the Bethal Kingdom looked pale as a ghost." What…what the, huh?"

Everyone saw the Space Time Anomaly stop growing, before it glowed and shattered like a popped balloon. Bria saw that the sky still had sparks of energy in it before she blinked a few times." Wait…would someone explain what's going on? Was he stopped?"

She was startled as Astra punched the nearby wall hard enough to cause it to shatter before she spat on the ground." Yah…it was stopped alright. But the price was too damn high just for a prick like him! God damn it!"

Sonic grasped his fist before he winced." No…all this speed and I was still to slow to help a pal when it counted?"

Lani-Loli winced as the Quantum Mask struggled to float up." No…I'm sorry guys I really tried but it was just too much for me to keep up."

Coco patted her body lacking friend on the head before she sighed." Its not your fault Lani-Loli, we all know you did the best you did."

James looked devastated as he looked at his own hands." Damn it, why did I preserve myself when all my wisdom could do nothing? Ben, I'm sorry."

Ezan grimaced as he looked around." Don't feel like that Elrond. Because of your help, Mike was able to do what he did. Now, we have to make sure it was not for nothing."

Bria looked horrified as it became clear what happened and she looked up at the sky." No…you mean he, he was in that space time thing when it collapsed!? Then go get him! You guys all have all those powers and spells so no matter what state its in you have to be able to,"

"That's just the thing Bria." Ezan uttered somberly." If there was a place, any place to go I would have gone there. But, the reality collapsed, along with everything in it."

Bria grasped her hand tightly before uttering," So…its just like Richard? There's nothing left to even be able to revive him with? No…no after all this it can't have ended all like this! I, huh?"

Astra suddenly grasped Bria's hand not hard enough to hurt her but to get her attention. The blond woman had a deadly serious face as she uttered," Ended? Bria…I know how crazy this day is but you better understand quick that nothing is over. Its just getting started and it is going to get worst. But you better make sure what Mike did was not for nothing you hear me?"

Bria struggled not to be overwhelmed with emotions before she looked around." Why? Do, do you know what's going to happen next?"

As people were all about to say something the Judge Droid Brandon threw out 's head twitched before a buzz sound came out," Contestants are unable to battle! But neither contestant are still standing! So the match is a,"

Astra kicked the droid down before she spat on it." We are still here you god damn piece of junk!"

" Correction...teammates of Team Auro are still present...we have a winner!"

The blond woman saw the droid's head twitch again before she sighed." He won damn it, and we have to make it mean something you hear me!?"

Astra 's eye twitched before she took a deep breath and looked down." Now that there " game" is over…nothing good is coming next. So, you better do what you need to do, I don't have to be a god to know that whatever comes next is going to decide the fate of your nation, and the universe."

As everyone tried to come to terms with what happened they still had no idea just what was coming, but some in the universe did. As Astra, Ezan, and the others suspected the ones that were behind all of this were just taking in the result of there" game".


At the moment N'Jadaka had just returned to where he was ordered to after doing his part, Arasaka Tower.

As he, Astor, and those still loyal to him entered the top of the tower, where the battles over Corneria were being broadcasted to all of Mekacity. N'Jadaka saw the Ganondorf from another universe waiting for him, as Homelander, Storm Front, and the rest of the Seven along with a few others like the Batman Who Laughs, Lord Darkon, the" Maker" and other high ranking members of the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation were watching on.

Ganondorf saw that the ruler of Wakanda now looked far more demonic than before and smirked." Ah…so you have shown your true nature my son? Good…at least some have embraced the ones who rule existence."

Tyson's brother saw Homelander looked like he was going to snap before he cleared his throat." Great ancestor, I have not had time to hear the full story but, from the way the ground was shaking…I take it that things have not gone as planned after I left?"

Homelander let out a deranged chuckle before he turned around with glowing eyes." If you mean those cocksuckers somehow are still breathing when they were supposed to have killed themselves with there own stupid dreams then hell yah things are not going as they said things were suppose to go! Perfect plan my ass!"

The Batman Who Laughs let out a laugh mixed with anger before he licked his lips." All the pieces were in place, but it seems those we gave the privilege to move those pieces showed they were far less competent than they promised. If they thought death could get them out of there punishment, then that's a laugh alright."

Homelander snickered before uttering," Tsc…Walter and Brandon were being so hardcore suck ups that I had to resist bashing their smug grins in. All those things and they still were not man enough to get the job done!"

Lord Drakkon cleared his throat before the Negaverse version of Tommy Oliver shrugged." Does that mean your ready to finish what they started?"

The head of the "Seven" froze as he realized all his new" Pals" were looking at him before the caped man winced." I mean…is it like...stable to go there now? Like…they mostly killed themselves stopping all this paradise crap so its more or less what we wanted right?"

"WRONG!" A voice from above roared out that nearly shook the entire city before Gingrich 's image appeared in the sky. The Upside Down man snarled with rage as he hissed out," These salvation craving dumbasses can't even die right! They were not just supposed to die, they were supposed to make me a profit when they died! But they were all to wishy washy to get anything done! Dumb money really is too dumb to even die right and botched the short squeeze! At least it was such a botched outcome that everyone was off."

"Heh, speak for yourself Gingrich you're paying up." A female voice uttered as Carmen appeared in the sky to. Gingrich cracked his neck at his fellow Sixth Dimensional being before he hissed out," I'm in no mood to put up with your usual lack of sanity broad! The three-way parlay bet was over that that joke of a queen would see the project through and that family would kill each other over it but she got cold feet and ruined the whole game-plan!"

Carmen giggled before she flicked her hair out of her eye." Maybe, but you did not make it clear how precise the bet had to be, and we all know the devil is in the details. She did push her Project Nevada so hard that her family member did die because of it. And siblings did kill each other over it, that basic beta "Blackstar Parallax" 's own sister helped see him dead. SO…since you did not put the precise names as part of the bet it still means I won!"

Masakaki was in the room as well before he saw the two massive beings in the sky look at him and bowed." My deepest apologies Master Zaslav...but per how Mister V-Day wrote the rules of Midas Bank Transactions, Mistress Carmen is correct in that with how the bet was made, she is the one who won. Thus with the credit you lost she now has risen to Visser Three while your rank has changed to four. Your happy to take it up with Mister V-Day of course."

As the Upside Down man roared with outrage as some like N'Jadaka looked confused before Ganondorf snickered and leaned over to Tyson's brother." Vissers are the titles that Mister V-Day gives to the top one hundred employees of the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation. He has the rank of number one so the others can feel like they are closer to him, though no one seriously expects to reach his or Secretary Mary's spots. By encouraging never ending competition no one dares get lax in his order."

The bald man with a tentacle coming out of his head kept expressing his rage, and paused, before Carmen crossed her arms and suddenly a mouth opened from her hand to hiss out." Don't be a sour loser Zaslav…if a member of the high table looks lame, it makes V-Day annoyed over his brand being tarnished remember?

Lodsam Hanti...we are the chosen ones. Cahanna risone Hanti...we are the fortunate ones. Jaya Hanti...we are the victorious ones! So if you act like such a weakling after such a minor set back then, how weak are you?"

"Bah…no need to lose are cool eh Idrissa? Ugh...find…your right that I can recoup this and regain the rank of Visser 3 with some hustle so whatever the universe's we agreed to are yours, er, to you sisters."

"Awesome." Carmen replied as her mouth hand licked her lips." Heh, now the subscribers can get to the new torture stream even faster. After all…seems this whole Bethal tour has been milked enough. I mean seriously...the shareholders are so bored of the type that cling on to there precious justice. So if they don't get with the program, time to cancel it! Hashtag total purge! Hey Batsy…you are finished with the audit by now right?"

The Batman Who Laughs nodded quickly as he bowed." Yes, we have all the metadata we need on the Prime Universe to know how to mold it to, peak productivity. Every beginning, large or small, begins with great noise. A big bang, a child's scream, or in my case, both. But the song of Lady Abeloth, is the dark chord that will shake the strings of the multiverse, anti-music to bring the end, and the beginning! Its time for these warriors of light to be forced to hear the screams, the ones from deep inside there souls! They tried so hard to solve the mysteries , but only found out there own smallness. That they failed, will only ever fail, and were a fool to venture out at all, a small meaningless fool that's only worth a joke. And now, its time for the punchline to the Prime Universe."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Gingrich barked out hard enough to shake the planet below him." It was fun seeing the assets tear each other apart trying to get a chance at salvation and all that but game's over! If we have everyone useful on board, then its time to purge the trash!"

Ganondorf nodded before he bowed." Where would you have us attack master?"

"Heh…where? EVERYWHERE! EVERY god damn planet in the universe, every single cell that's not making a profit to us is getting purged! "

Lady Stormfront giggled as she walked up." So…its finally happening eh? Total genocide for all the inferior scum daring to think they can exist in the same universe as superior beings? Good. Frederick didn't care about all the fans, or stardom, or any of that shallow crap. We are in a war for culture.

The other races are grinding us down and taking what's rightfully ours, but we can fight back with an army of supermen million strong, because that is Vought's true destiny!"

The Deep laughed before he chugged a drink." You said it Klara! Time everyone is forced to admit how superior we are to everyone else!"

Gingrich snarled before hissing out," Oh so your the cream of the crop eh? What the hell do you even do?"

The Deep gulped before he realized the being big as the sky glared right at him before he saw Homelander and Black Noir both glare at him before he let out a uneasy chuckle." I mean I have two ace talents! I can breath underwater and communicate with sea animals!"

"Is this a joke!?"

"I mean, I'm also on the talk show circuit with the success of my memoir, Deeper! I swear to God, they only call me when there's trouble at a dock. Or a river or a lake, canal. A jetty. God damn idiots. I could be doing so much more. But no, Vought just wants me to make my big pretty dives into the water and flash my biceps for the social media. I mean, sure, four billion hits a day, but still, it's so demeaning. But you can help me be what I'm suppose to be right?"

"Yah...the fish-sticks for lunch!"

"No thanks I just had, GUAHH!"

In a instant the Upside Down man unleashed a shock-wave that blew the Deep right off the Tower. The member of the Seven could only scream before a building sized tentacle burst out of the ground and devoured him.

Gingrich burped before seeing Stormfront, but before she could shout her mouth was suddenly gone. Carmen wagged her finger and then took the mouth she magically sliced up before narrowed her eyes." Down girl, you get your mouth back when you know how to use it." Her upside down fellow Sixth Dimensional being let out a inhuman sound that made them all get to there knees." Listen up unless you want to be dessert got it? Sounds like the lot of you have just been sitting around on your asses while are agents have been doing all the work!

Like V-day himself says, the greats never sacrifice the important for the urgent. They handle the immediate problem and still make sure to secure the future. You don't think I understand what the hell is going on around here? You are all playing it safe for the quarter so you have a shot of personally mooching in on the end goal like god damn parasites! You are ALL BASELESS WIMPS looking to mitigate your downsides and protect your bonuses.

Don't ever forget that no matter how strong you think you are, we on the Eldritch board of directors are horror itself!

The only currency that this company has…that any company has that's worth a damn across the whole Multiverse…is it's winning streak. The kevlar of knowing the answer. You break that, you break the whole thing. Nobody leaves here until you hand me an idea that shows your worth keeping around!

Muzan and Brainwave may have dropped the ball but at least they went up to bat! Listen very closely because if we did not need this universe in one piece you all would have been atoms already! For now on get it clear that I have strings attached to all of my fingers. When I yank 'em you are going to shake, rattle and crap yourself.

First...its not a genocide…its a liquidation." Gingrich hissed out." Cause your universe is are property to purge as we see fit! Because Prime universe or not, this entire universe is just equity for us stockholders to shape as we see fit to make them Hedge Funds out of them.

And in the end, such things are that revolve around gambling on things most mooks would never think of as an investment, but we make everything in a universe an investment, that's why are stock will be everything in the Multiverse! So…its time everyone gets the message on how real IV&C ace's do business!

So you really think your that special? Get it through your heads, your high quality assets, but the only ones" Special" are those like me! You think you have anything we have not seen across the Multiverse! You know that IV&C has over forty million data points on you, on every decision you have made broad? I... I know when you have colon polyps months before your doctor does. You got four or five at the moment actually.

But more importantly than that, much more importantly than that, I know what you are. I know who you are. Are companies algorithms have determined eight fundamental consumer profile types. You are a lifestyle sadist. You think you're motivated by beliefs, high ethical beliefs. But you just run towards pleasure and away from pain. Like a god damn field mouse.

Our algorithms can even predict how you'll die. To 96... 96.5% accuracy. I looked you up after we met. Your predicted death was so unremarkable and boring. I can't remember the details, apart from one thing. You're gonna die alone. Alone dame! We know how this ends, we seen every bad end the Negaverse can produce. So we are just molding it to ending in the most profitable way for are bottom line.

It's time for everything that's not profitable to us, to become a tax write off."

N'Jadaka looked around before he sighed." Tyson…you could have been part of the winning pack but you decided to die over the pride of scum. All for loyalty over someone as pathetic as Michael Auro."

Homelander heard the leader of Wakanda's lament before he raised an eyebrow." Hey, just one thing. Auro's lameass brat was killed before you guys got here, right? Then…why was he screwing up the show?"

Carmen and Gingrich both paused before Carmen snickered." Yah Mr.V-Day owned that worthless brat when we showed the Time Nest who was calling the shots. So…whoever this poser was is just some tacky fake."

Homelander paused before he shrugged." I guess it's a no brainer that they would have a Coral Stack too. All that talk about it being a up front to God and they are the total hypocrites they always were."

The Batman Who Laughs paused before he looked down." Still…there is some…troublesome…conflicting info. Astra Fitter was an enemy of the Bethal Kingdom…there was no way they would make a Stack for her. But that would mean."

"Mean WHAT!?" Gingrich boomed out from above." You mean, Mr.V-Day failed to kill pissants like them? This universe is so broken that clones are coming out of the woodwork Bats! It…it has to be something else because Mr.V-day always wins. It must be something else. Alright, we have are last universe's to take out before the whole Song of Nephilim thing that will unleash the multiverse spanning Death-wave is ready to be unleashed on the Multiverse and we win it all! When we return for the celebration, everything better be in order you hear me? Because when V-day sets foot on this universe, to celebrate everything he doesn't like is going to disappear, everything yah hear me?

Some nobody returning just to die changes nothing, we already won and its time for the Prime Universe to get with the message."

Homelander cracked his neck before he chuckled." Loud and clear! Leave all the celebration and tribute stuff to Victoria Neuman, Mr's Y, Hilda Paradox, Reina Mishima, and JP the rest of the Dogtown bottom feeders trying to get are scraps and I'll do all the killing! Yah…I'm not going to choke like the Samson's… I don't need there cheap tricks!

After all...I'm stronger, I'm smarter, I'm better! I AM BETTER! And it's time for all these losers to realize they have nothing left, NOTHING!"

As Homelander and the other agents of Sige prepared to unleash the next horrifying phase of their plan, little did they realize that some things were not as final as it seemed to be, even if it still seemed rather final.

For at the moment someone woke up, and it was Mike.


The curly haired man woke up and coughed a bit before getting on his knees. He looked up and saw an entrance to a regal house around him. He looked around and saw an empty city before he winced." Did…did I get hit into the city? Where…where did everyone go? Where is this? Huh? "

He tried to move up and found his right hand was touching something. He saw it was a pin with a large black sphere on it that had a message of energy pop out of it after Mike touched it that said,"Reach 104. You have sixty minutes. Fail, and face erasure. -The Reapers."

"The reapers? Things got so bad that Neo Acradia is having a gang phase? Wait...is this a Gantz sphere? Those things were suppose to be like, hardcore banned."

"Oh, your not in Kansas anymore kid."

A new cocky male voice cut in with." Your in a place meant to look like the Shibuya shopping district in Tokyo, Japan from Earth Prime in the " Underground" realm cause the Reaper that won the bet picked his choice."

"Huh? How...how far off course did that blast take me?"

"Still not setting in eh? Your where you belong "Hero"." A cocky male voice cut in with." You're in the Bad place now."

Mike turned around and saw an older man with gelled hair walking out of the door." Yo...I'm Trevor, a recruiter around here. I'm here to introduce you to your stay here."

"Stay? Wait…where on Corneria are we? What, huh?"

Michael noticed a halo over Trevor before he looked up, and saw the sky was red." Wait…no…am I…dead? No, it can't, it can't have all been to amount to this!"

As Trevor smirked a new voice cut in with a sharp," Oh so you still have hope boy? Splendid, that's just the right thing to have when you show up, at the House of Hope!"

A new man walked out of the door, a man with dark hair and faintly red skin. The man gave a mock bow before uttering," My name's Raphael boy, and I'm greatly pleasured to be the one to introduce you to your stay here."

Mike grasped himself before he winced." Wait…am I dead? I…I don't feel dead. Are…are you supposed to be judge my soul? I think I want to appeal to someone else that might give me a fair trial for where my soul should be you here?"

"Boy…you really need to get up to date on how things work now." Raphael uttered before his eyes glowed. His skin then deepened into a brighter red when he shed his human disguise.

In his true form, he had the tell-tale characteristics of a cambion demon; significantly with thick and decorative curved horns, and a set of pointed wings with visible membranes, similar to that of a bat.

Raphael saw Mike was still too weak to stay standing and smirked." You of the Bethal Kingdom tried to cling to the old ways but now all of the After-Life across the universe is under are control and everyone that judged someone by the life they lead has been…" relived of duty."

Where one goes to in the afterlife no longer revolves around the morals of one's life, but the amusement one's soul brings to the sponsors.

You thought you were so clever when you were just another foolish mouse. The mouse smiled brightly: it outfoxed the cat! Then down came the claw and that, love, was that. So, Michael Auro, if you're fond of your fate not being unending suffering, your going to play a game.

A Reaper's Game to be precise. It seems fate caused you to enter the next dimension in a unorthodox way, but it just means I got to your soul first lad. So, work this right and we both will be hitting a" Jackpot". So…feeling lucky?"

Authors Notes: Well, hope the chapter succeeded as a showdown today, lets get started.

Raphael and the House of Hope is from Balder's Gate 3, and Trevor is from the" Good place" show.

Took a while but I did not show the World Ends' With you style After life for nothing…I'll just say, in a broken universe even the end is not completely the end, and that we are not at the end of the road, just going to be going down a very intense path for a while.

Speaking of that, the Gantz sphere is from the anime and manga also called Gantz.

Victoria Newmen is from the Boys, Reina is form Tekken 8, JP is from Street Fighter 6, Ms. Y is from Streets of Rage 4, and Hilda Paradox is from Undernight in Birth.

Mike's Mana Loan spell was inspired by the Bankruptcy Nen move from Knuckle Bine from Hunter X Hunter.

Mike's "Awakened true power" is of course the classic Super Saiyan transformation, with more of Trunk's kind of hair in that state, and to stand out also a bit of Angel Jin from Tekken 8.

With Makima…well I know I made her path here a bit more noble then how she was in Chainsaw man but eh, wanted to make it understandable how she would have been able to work for Ben and Lacus a little bit at least, and I mixed a bit from what Merus did in Dragon Ball Super in the showdown with Moro as well.

With Brandon to mix things up a bit I was inspired by his" final phase" to be both from the fight with D'ken Neramani in the 90's X-men cartoon show after he merged with the and the final fight with Albedo in Xenosaga 2.

The Cerealian Dragon Balls and its dragon Toronbo are from Dragon Ball Super. Mostly because well, I have a feeling most know why…the tragic death of Akira Toriyama...damn.

To have lost Akira Toriyama like that…I hate cancer so much.

I'll always be grateful for him creating Dragon Ball, the franchise had a major influence on me to say the least, and I hope the franchise can keep going, or at least finish up the unresolved plot points in Super to give closure. May the Dragon Rock on forever.

With that, the cast is out of one crises, to an even bigger one but as overwhelming as its going to get hope everyone sticks around for how things go from here. Thanks for the reviews as always, hope this chapter will give reasons to see more and till then, see you all next time on Dragon Ball Z! Sort of.
