A Collection Of Other Adventures
Chapter 19: The Akatsuki Vs BIM
Date: March 6th, 2023
"Damn, that would be so helpful right now! Oh well, I'll just have to blow this place sky high!" "Barla! Don't do that! To defeat BIM, we have to incapacitate all these people and kill Boogaloo by any means necessary." "Aww but I wanna kill!" "Fran! Calm down!" "I'm with Teacher. I mean if you end up being the first to mortally wound Boogaloo, you might as well have killed him. I wouldn't mind if you were the one to kill him. Or even better, you and several others kill him." With that said, I stop talking and get focused on fighting our opponents. Just one of them is difficult to beat. I focus on one of them but they keep dodging my attacks despite there being so little space to move. I spend a lot of time fighting without letting out a single line of dialogue. That's just how I operate to be honest. More importantly, I am forced to take a different approach: "If you won't let me attack you, I'll just let you attack me so you can see what happens!" I stop moving around and let my opponent come right at me along with several others. They all try striking me but all that happens is minor dents in my armor. They're tough but not tough enough to break my armor. Instead, their failures shock them long enough for me to beat them with one of the flat sides of my sword, doing little damage but causing them to get a little disoriented. I would go on about how I and the others took down the BIM pawns but it took a while and it was extremely boring and tiring. The same tricks defeated them one by one after we struggled to figure out what really worked successfully on any of them. An hour after the battle started, a lot of us are sweating and breathing heavily. Boogaloo watched the whole entire thing from a safe vantage point. He jumps down from it and for some reason, the songs from the movie The Apple start playing in succession. Boogaloo lifts his hands: "If my employees can't defeat you, then I'll just have to and make you eat the Apple after! Or kill you trying. Your strength overwhelmed theirs despite how strong they were so I have no choice but to do things myself because I know how to be a master!"
BIM All The Way is currently playing. I gasp as Boogaloo absorbs energy not just from his employees but what looks to be much of the entire world too. We all try to kill him as he does this but he repels us with ease. And then, when he's finally done gathering energy, he goes right for me and breaks through my armor and rips through some of my skin. I cough up blood as the momentum of that sends me flying backwards to a wall, causing it to crack and me to fall through it into outside of the building. "Damn it! I don't think I can fight Boogaloo even if I eat an HP banana.. I don't even have much strength left after that. It's like I was just completely wiped out from that ambush.. But I must witness that battle to the end.. No matter what. At least to support those who are still able to fight and launch occasional sneak attacks.. I am in so much pain but I refuse to give in. Even if I can't really fight without asking for a death wish, I'll still do what I can." The pain is so bad that I don't want to move. I desire to relieve that pain with soft comfortable objects. But there's nothing like that around here so I had to make myself get up. I get myself to my feet and struggle to eat an HP banana. When I do, the pain stops and I'm no longer bleeding. My mouth is full of the irony taste of my own blood but that doesn't matter right now. I get back inside through the hole created by my being sent backward into the wall. Once I'm back, I sit down and stay quiet so as to not cause Boogaloo to try to kill me again. For the moment, I ignore the intense fight to make a plan to stab Boogaloo with both of my daggers. That will make sure that we do in fact kill him today and won't need any additional help from anyone else to take him down. Once I figure it out, I pay attention to the battle and wait for the perfect opening to strike. Nagato is currently leading the attack on Boogaloo with his abilities. Eraser Head is just behind him, attempting to trap Boogaloo in his cloth. Everyone is involved in a pincer style attack.
Attack in the front while others attack from the back. "We won't let you control anyone else anymore. We'll make you see the pain you have caused to others! Konan, switch with me!" "I will, Nagato!" Now, Konan is directly fighting Boogaloo by using her paper clones to trick him and throw paper bombs at him. Meanwhile, Nagato is behind her weaving hand signs: "Summoning Technique!" Nagato summons all of the Rinnegan creatures including the Cerberus. Behind Boogaloo, Batman is throwing Explosive Batterangs, Barla is using a high caliber shotgun to shoot, Fran and Teacher are preparing fire magic attacks, and so on. "This can't be! How are all of you able to resist the ultimate power of the holy Apple?! Where are your BIM marks! You should be wearing them!" "Like hell we'd wear those pieces of crap! I'll blow your head off if it's the last thing I do!" Boogaloo turns to see Barla shooting at him: "Your weapons do no harm to me." Barla still fires and Boogaloo's head comes right off: "Are you sure about that?" There's no way Boogaloo is done yet even though his head's been blown right off. I stand up and run straight at his motionless body which is currently bleeding from where the neck used to connect to the head. But as I come towards his body, the body picks up the head. In short, Boogaloo starts reattaching his own head. That didn't spare him from me being able to stab him with my daggers very quickly before retreating to sit back down onto the floor. For now, not much will happen due to what I have done. But in time, that's going to change and it's going to make sure Boogaloo dies. Or at least, that's what I thought. However, Boogaloo suddenly turns into some sort of God like Apple person who is hovering in the air. "I told you all that I know how to be a master. You have all forced me to reveal my secret and you won't make it out alive to tell the world of this. Instead, you will eat into that Apple or die. That Apple is a clone of myself. I have come from another world to enslave humanity with my clone and popular music. There will be no more of your resistance soon enough,"
That sure explains a lot. "Oh come on! Hey readers, can you believe this bastard? This piece of crap who is some ridiculous God?! Why do I bother getting involved with anything when I end up dealing with these kind of villains?" "I have no sense of humor, I find your commentary completely unnecessary." At this point, no attacks are doing damage to Boogaloo. He's just floating there, countering everything effortlessly with intense force. It gets so bad that pretty much all of us get hurt badly, even me despite the fact I've kept out of the battle since he revealed his true form. "Crap! Why does this have to happen? We were doing so well up until now." "Bray! Why haven't you used your healing spell?" "I apologize but there were too many and the fight distracted me but I shall use it now." Suddenly, all of us are instantly healed. I smirk: "Guess I can fight you after all, Boogaloo. Get ready to suffer for all that you've done because we can't get through to you. You're cold hearted and controlling. The downsides of intelligent life. Haaaaaa!" Thanks to Bray, we can now break our limits without fear of death. I charge in after Bray repairs my armor with a quick spell. But even as I unleash fierce attack after fierce attack, nothing happens. In fact, I even try thrusting even though my sword is a one handed sword to try to deal damage. But still, no dice. It's like Boogaloo's skin is far tougher than steel. That's a huge problem. "Damn it! Even now, none of our attacks are doing anything!" "A sword can only do so much. This bastard is so hard to even hurt. He's blasting through my armor right now but I'm not dying. Still, the pain is intense. Arg!" I put away my sword and bawl my hands into fists. My hope now is to punch holes through the skin with my gloves which are now topped with metal as I mentioned some time ago. As Nagato's Rinnegan beasts get defeated and poof away, we all continue trying to attack. Boogaloo isn't even moving around. He's letting us come to him while attacking us with far range attacks if none of us are close enough for him to be more direct at the time.
I keep getting knocked back and hurt but pick myself up and run while jumping into the air to land several punches on our foe. They only make small dent in his skin but that's good enough for me for now at the moment. Not really asking for much here. "You humans and other creatures don't give up. It's annoying. I'm the master, you should surrender yourselves to me and become one with the Apple. I could use better pawns to enslave humanity with the help of." "You can forget it! Teacher, what can we make out of this jerk?" "Fran! Well, all sorts of things! Apple pie, apple ice cream, candy apples, caramel apples, and more." "Apple pie.. That sounds amazing.. But it won't beat curry!" "Never change, Fran!" Deadpool turns to face a direction as time stops around him: "And this is the moment where I questioned what kind of twisted mind this little girl has." "You know I'm immune to your noir style stopping of the story so I'm here too, right? Again." "This is my monologue!" "I told you this before. I'm a writer. Convention storytelling rules don't always apply to me." And then the story continues. "Mortals are such a chore to deal with when they disobey. But that won't matter for I will make sure all of you have BIM marks by the end of today!" "What the hell happened to your voice and grammar? Adam told me you sound nothing like this in the movie!" "That's because the movie takes place on a false timeline. It's not completely accurate as expected from something made by humans! This battle bores me. Let's change the type of competition. If one of you can defeat me in a Duel Monsters match, I will surrender and let you kill me. But if I win, you will all take a bite of the Apple willingly without resisting." Kaito steps forward in the midst of the chaos.
"I'll take you on and when I crush you, you will keep your end of the bargain." "Of course. But let's make the competition a little bit different. We'll duel using Rush Duel rules but all summoning methods except Pendulum summoning will be allowed and we'll also use Action Duel rules as well. I have a meeting with my remaining employees in an hour. I do not want to be late to schedule the rise of our newest BIM star." "I accept your terms! Go, Photon Transformation! *undergoes it* There, I'm quite comfortable now. And you're in quite a bit of trouble!" Boogaloo coughs up a apple seed which grows into a duel disk onto an arm that bursts out of his skin all of the sudden. Cards appear in the duel disk out of nowhere. "Generating action field: Crossover. Action cards dispersed." "The first move is mine! I draw! Now then, I summon Daybreaker! When I have one Daybreaker, I can special summon another! Here's another Daybreaker! Next, I activate the spell card called Photon Empowerment! When I have a Photon monster in my hand with at least 2000 attack points, I can reveal them in order to double the attack points of all monsters on my field. However, they will be banished at the end of the turn if they remain on my field. I reveal Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon! And now, I tribute 2 of my Daybreakers in order to summon the galaxy that lurks in the darkness! Become the light of hope, my very servant! The embodiment of light, now descend! Appear, Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon!" "So there's your ace!" "This is only the beginning of your doom!" "We'll see, I'll go now. My hand isn't ideal but I'm a master, that won't be a problem. I summon Kaiser Seahorse. I tribute it as it counts as 2 when summoning a light attribute monster to summon Blue Eyes White Dragon! Additionally, I summon Battle Ox and Genie of the Lamp. I tribute them to summon a 2nd Blue Eyes! Battle! I will show you how to be a master. Blue Eyes #1, attack Galaxy Eyes!" "Galaxy Eyes banishes himself and your Blue Eyes till the end of the turn!" "In that case, I will use the other Blue Eyes to attack you directly. *its done* You are losing. I end my turn."
"It's my move! I draw! I summon 2 Cipher Wings and activate Double Montage to double their levels to 8! I see you're letting us use all 5 monster slots. That will become a big mistake! I overlay my 2 Cipher Wings! I don't know where you obtained the monsters used by Seto Kaiba but it won't matter. I build the overlay network! I Xyz summon! Come forth, Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon! But that's not all! I activate Rank Up Magic Cipher Ascension! It ranks up my Cipher Dragon! Go, Rank Up Xyz Evolution! Appear, Neo Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon! Your end is here! I activate my Cipher Dragon's special ability. Cipher Assimilation! It transforms your 2nd Blue Eyes White Dragon into a Neo Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon under my control! But that's not all! Since I used Cipher Ascension, my first Neo Galaxy Eyes gains 500 attack points because I control a monster that is level 4 or higher: Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon. Therefore, I have 3 monsters with 5000, 4500, and 3000 attack points respectively. And now, I'll attack! My first Neo Galaxy Eyes, destroy his Blue Eyes!" "Noooooo! This can't be happening! If I had just drawn Blue Eyes Alternative Dragon, I would have defeated you during my first turn!" "It's too bad the heart of the cards weren't with you. Now damage calculation occurs." "Aaaaaaaaa!" "I'm not finished. My 2nd Neo Galaxy Eyes, end this duel by reducing your former master's life points to 0!" "Impossible! I'm feeling emotions! This can't be happening! I know how to be a master!" We thought Boogaloo would actually give up and surrender to us after such an humiliating defeat but that wasn't so. Instead, he gets back up: "Our deal is off. If someone doesn't step up to duel me too, I will kill all of you." Barla and Bray try killing him again but nothing happens. "Bastard. I'll take you on!" I step up and activate my duel disk. "You, the knight who doesn't belong in this era. Go back to your own time." "Oh piss off. I'm almost 30 years in the future relative to your time. Let's duel!"
"Go first so I can show you how little of a chance you stand." "That doesn't even make sense. I refuse. You go first, Boogaloo." "Have it your way. We'll use the same rules. I special summon Blue Eyes Alternative Dragon by revealing a Blue Eyes White Dragon in my hand. Next, I summon Kaiser Seahorse again and tribute it to summon Blue Eyes White Dragon once more! And I even have another Kaiser Seahorse in my hand so I summon and tribute it to summon another Blue Eyes! I won't let anyone defeat me ever again in this card game!" "You must have traveled dimensions to get here. Damn you! Crap! I can hardly do anything with your Alternative Dragon on the field. But I'll still try. I draw! While I do like long duels, thank you for choose to Rush Duel. It makes dueling less complicated to understand. I'll make sure your monsters can't beat me during your next turn. I will also Xyz summon. I summon 2 Mystery Shell Dragons." "That's not your deck. Your deck is full of artists that should be BIM stars one day!" "Again, piss off. A duelist can have more than one deck. I overlay these 2 Mystery Shell Dragons in order to build the overlay network! I Xyz summon Kachi Kochi Dragon! This monster has a very special ability. When they destroy a monster, they are allowed to attack again. And with what I have in my hand, I have a combo that can decimate your dragons that requires Kachi Kochi." "Then I won't let you use that combo! I destroy your dragon with Blue Eyes Alternative Dragon's effect!" "I was waiting for that! *Kachi Kochi Dragon is destroyed and sent to the graveyard* This isn't my main deck and I actually retired this one by replacing it for a while. But now, it's back. It's time to use a children's card game to defeat you. Big mistake proposing Duel Monsters to settle our differences. Neither of us can get out of this duel so congrats on digging yourself such a deep hole. Boogaloo, you should have stuck with fighting us physically but oh well, it's been so long since I've been in a duel."
"I'm losing control. You must be bluffing because my field is superior to yours." "Not so. I summon 2 Shiny B Squadders. And now I overlay them to Xyz summon another Kachi Kochi Dragon! Next, I equip Power Of The Guardians to Kachi Kochi Dragon! And next, it's time to flex some muscles." I jump up and keep moving around in search of an action card. He doesn't stop me because I'm too agile for him. I find an action card after 20 seconds. It's perfect for what I have planned. I pick it up: "I activate the action card Attack Force! With it, my monster gains 600 attack points when battling a monster with higher attack points during damage calculation. The best part is that because you wasted your dragon's effect, you can't stop me until your next turn. Battle! Kachi Kochi Dragon, attack Blue Eyes Alternative Dragon!" "Why would you attack when you know your monster still won't be strong enough to defeat me or any of my dragons?" "It's simple. Power Of The Guardians now activates. Thanks to it's effect, a spell counter is placed onto it, boosting the equipped monster's attack points by 500. Your annoying dragon is done for. Take this!" "No! I'm losing even more control of everything!" "That's right and it's only going to get worse for you from here. *Blue Eyes Alternative Dragon is destroyed* Now that that's gone, I use Kachi Kochi's effect. By using one overlay unit, they can attack again. Kachi Kochi, attack the 2nd Blue Eyes." "You humans are so persistent. I can control most of you but some I just can't sway to do my bidding. *Blue Eyes is destroyed* You.. You dealt me damage with a weaker monster!" "Yes. You now have 3700 out of 4000 life points. Boo hoo. How terrifying for you it must be. I end my turn." "It's my turn. Haha, I'm back in control over your fate. I reveal a Blue Eyes White Dragon in my hand to special summon another Blue Eyes Alternative Dragon. Next, I summon Vorse Raider and Giant Germ. I tribute them to summon my final Blue Eyes White Dragon! Now, I use my 2nd Alternative Dragon's effect to destroy this Kachi Kochi Dragon!" "Power Of The Guardians has another effect. By sending away one spell counter, Kachi Kochi Dragon is saved from destruction."
"So be it. I'll just destroy it with my first Blue Eyes White Dragon! White Lightning!" "When involved in any battle, Kachi Kochi's equipped spell gains another counter. I intentionally omitted that fact so you would try something like this should you not realize to target Power Of The Guardians with Alternative Dragon's effect instead of Kachi Kochi. You could have won this turn. But you screwed up big time not just once but thrice. *Blue Eyes is destroyed* RIP to another 100 of your life points." "I-I end my turn.." "My turn! Draw! I equip 2 more Power Of The Guardians onto Kachi Kochi. This duel is done. Battle. Kachi Kochi, destroy Alternative Dragon! *damage calculation* Just 2000 life points to go. This next attack will finish this duel. Kachi Kochi, destroy Blue Eyes." The duel ends with Boogaloo sent flying, his life points reduced to 0 again. All duel disks deactivate. "That bastard is so dead now! He's vulnerable! Let's kill him! This is going to be awesome! Hell yes!" Barla is the first to keep attacking him as he cries out in pain: "Ow! What is this pain growing inside of me?!" My daggers got him despite everything? That's wild! "Grand Sage Art: Infinite Tower Of Flame!" "You will feel pain, Boogaloo!" "Who knew that children's card games were still so good at helping solve villain problems? Haaaaaaa! *pulls out sword* Take this! Great Infernal Tornado Slash x8! Thanks, Bray!' "Fire Magic!" "Fire Magic!" The others also join in on the all out assault. The combined attack power of all of us was enough to blow a hole through Boogaloo's skin. Fran grins: "Yay! We can kill him now! Let's do it! Teacher!" "I know, I know Fran! We'll cut him right up just as you wanted to happen this entire time since he revealed his true form." "Wait, we can't do it without Jet!" A big furry adorable black wolf named Jet appears and Fran jumps onto him: "Jet! Rip him to shreds!" "Bark!" "Haha! Can't miss out on this action! Hope you don't mind if I blow pieces of him off!" Konan joins in too by using paper bomb clones of herself. To be clear, Boogaloo is much bigger than any of us.
A real big talking apple mastermind. Great. Boogaloo actually screams as he is finally killed. I'll go into detail a little since he was a talking apple. His juices went everywhere after all of his skin was burned or ripped right off. He was broken up and blown into pieces that went everywhere in what was now the ruins of Boogaloo's International Music. Outside, we could hear National BIM Hour commence with all activities suspended so people could dance to a live version of BIM All The Way. Bray cast a spell to contain all of Boogaloo's remains in order to have someone analyze it. She sends the remains in a energy ball straight to Heartland City for now as we're dealing with the civil war in Miitopia where we're still fighting against the Nazis. No research can be done in Miitopia at the moment. "We should leave now. We have accomplished what we have set out to do. Boogaloo has experienced pain." "Nagato, don't be so hasty. I'd like some help with collecting those apples for my research." "Orochimaru, I know you want them but if you use them in your research, the future of your world will change too much. We should gather some for research by someone else but no more. We'll have to destroy the rest of the apples. There are billions. I wonder if we can find out where they all are." The BIM members we knocked out stir. They get up and glare at us. One of them, a black man with some feminine makeup and vibes in glittery silver clothing named Shake demands: "What have you done to us? Where is Master Boogaloo?" Hit replies: "We killed him. He's one of the most difficult targets I've ever had to face in battle." "You killed him? We'll kill you all! Get them!" "Did you just disregard the fact that we knocked all of you unconscious? Pathetic." Hit uses Time Skip to avoid attacks from Shake even though he doesn't need to. All BIM member have lost their power ups by now so it was simple for Hit.
Shake realizes this: "No! We need more apples! I'm going to the vault below this building to get more to eat! Keep fighting, all of you! We must fight to keep BIM alive even without Master Boogaloo!" Hit and I let him go but secretly tail him. We watch as he goes downstairs to a basement through some hidden stairs. When he's far enough down, I nod to him. He nods back and we head down the steps quickly but quietly. When he screams, we stop caring about stealth and catch up to him. Shake is so distracted that he doesn't hear us before he exclaims: "No! No! No! The apples! They're all rotten and dead! This can't be! Boogaloo really is dead!" He so happens to turn around while holding his nose at the stench of billions of rotten apples: "You! What are you doing here?" "Don't move or I'll kill you." I put a hand on Shake's shoulder while blocking Hit's way with my other hand. I put away my sword before we went down so it's just been dangling as we moved. "Shake, we know everything about BIM now apart from a few minor details. Listen, it's okay. You're in a cult and your leader is dead. I know he trusted you and you had a beneficial life so far thanks to him. I hate to tell you this but it was all a rouse to keep you loyal and obedient, not questioning his motives or anything. He wanted to enslave humanity. He told us this himself after a friend of mine blew his head off and he immediately put it back on. He was a apple creature, not a human. You knew his life was connected to those apples but how much did you really know? Regardless, I don't need to know that. Hit, don't kill him. He hasn't killed anyone and is harmless on his own without the apples. Shake listen, I want to offer you a new life, a new opportunity to live a decent life. Change your ways and reform this world by taking the helm in Boogaloo's steed."
"Why are you being so kind? You people killed him!" "I don't have any reason to be cruel to you. I don't want to kill unless it's absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, I like to make it quick and efficient. More importantly, you are not okay. I'm trying to offer you ways to ease the pain that you're feeling in your heart. None of your fellow BIM members are going to die today. That much I can promise you." "I don't understand.. Boogaloo took me and my love in when we had nowhere else to go. We were broke and lived on the streets where we were harassed daily for the color of our skin." "Racism. That vile affliction that poisons the minds of countless individuals. It is as much of an ideology as it is a bigoted mindset. But saying such things won't make anyone feel better. All creatures deserve these things: food, water, love, care, shelter, and equality. From humans to wolves to birds to fish to even the trees and shrubs. We're all living creatures whose primary goals include most importantly, survival. If we can't survive, we can't be or feel anything. Black Lives Matter. White supremacy must be crushed. The poor must be given what they need to survive and be happy. Some people get everything without truly working a single day during any given year. You are loved, you are important. Break free from the brainwashing that has kept you from truly being yourself. Boogaloo let you be effeminate but that's not all there is to you, is there? You often went to parties thanks to him. You just want to be happy. It's obvious. We all wanted to experience enjoyment. Okay, maybe not so much for Hit. But that's not the point. Let the fall of BIM be the start of your next chapter in life. You can stay here and pick up the pieces or you can come with us and be placed in a whole different universe entirely in a location where you will be loved and supported unconditionally. What do you have to say now?" "There are no lies to your words.. I'll trust your words. BIM will end here and I'll help give new life to myself and the others."
Hit stops pointing a finger at Shake and I return my hands to their normal positions. The 3 of us then walk up together. Upstairs, the fighting continues on. But, Shake speaks up and gets everyone from BIM to stop attacking. This brings the battle to an end. He has tears in his eyes when he says: "Boogaloo used us.. He took advantage of the successful and struggling equally. All of you, it's time to start over. BIM is finished. It's a shame Babi can't be here to see this. I'm sorry to anything I ever done to you all or anyone else. We must start fresh. But first, we need to tell the world what has happened and what is going to happen now." And then, some police officers bust through the front door and start firing at all of us. Bray traps them in a magical barrier: "I cast Life Recollection Summary! I shall use it now of all times because I rarely meet the requirements for it to be cast. I see their lives. These officers are heartless and shall never change their ways, a lot of people have been killed by them. It's why Boogaloo worked with them so often." And so, us Akatsuki members kill them all once Bray releases that spell along with the barrier. When that's done, Konan speaks up: "Akatsuki, it's time to go. We know that all the apples and the tree they came from are dead. These people can take care of themselves now." "Well, BIM is finally taken care of. Boogaloo is dead at last. Barla, are you up for taking on some more missions before we return to Miitopia a few minutes after I was dragged out of it by BIM dancers?" "Hell yeah! To Amegakure!" Amegakure is still going to be where we meet most of the time. It's where assassination missions will be shared around and so on. Some of us go there while the others go back to their home universes. Konan casts the Jutsu to show the current assassination missions we know about that would end up not being completed otherwise, leading to catastrophic consequences. "Barla, there's even for the pres for Rusie." "Don't you mean-" "Yes but let's be discreet because I'm going to write about this all."
"Okay. I want to blow his head right off!" "Well, we better get going before anyone can take him down and claim the reward before we can." "Hell yeah!" "If the guards are murderous enough, I'll be more than happy to stab them right where it hurts and watch them bleed out as they die." The two of us teleport to where our target is. We'd go inside but we have intel that the place is a high tech death trap straight out of a Sci fi civilization. Not exactly something we can beat easily. And of course, GADGET gives us some info on each of the guards. While Barla blows a hole in the house to get in with her bazooka, I learn that the guards are trained hitmen who support anti-LGBTQIA causes, most often killing marginalized people for their country's so called honor and glory. So when they spot me, the sound of me drawing my sword is the last sight they see before they die. Quick and mostly painless. Perfect kills. With them gone, it's only a matter of time before security drones and the authorities are informed. I don't want to have to commit a miniature massacre just because Barla and I were too slow at carrying out the mission. And then, the house is completely blown up. Barla comes to me with the target's head served quite literally on a platter. "I did it! And I blew up the house to cover our tracks." "Excellent. Let's deliver this head to the group that issued the bounty. Not exactly people we work with so we'll just take the rewards and kill them if that's okay with you. They're just as cruel as their counterparts in my world." We teleport to the hideout of the group and deliver the target's head right to them. One of them says: "Great! I don't know who either of you are or what organization you're a part of but you did it without even contacting us about the bounty. Impressive! Here's your rewards! *gives both of us rewards* Now, could we count on you mysterious strangers on a mission to kill the organizers of a Pride even-" The other members in the group gasp in shock as I stabbed him right in the right eyeball all the way through to the brain.
He slumps to the ground with the head of the bastard Barla killed set on the platter at the desk he was sitting at. "There's your answer." The other people pull out this guns and start firing at us. "Guns? Meh. *slices right through them* There, you're defenseless. Surrender and give up your ways. You have clearly helped hurt a lot of innocent people. What's the point of harming innocents? Why would you do that? Innocent people deserve to be out of harm's way when something happens. They should be left alone and not manipulated to suit your ulterior motives rooted in greed and selfishness. We'll give you one chance to stay alive. Hear us out and change for the better. Even some of the worst scum on Earth can be redeemed but not all." They freeze in fear and uncertainty of what to do: "Good. You're stuck unsure so you might as well listen. This world is ruled by needless greed and endless pain. Pain that doesn't have to exist. Pain that's not natural but stems from manmade crises just to line the pockets of the rich and powerful with too much of anything they could ever want. Egos included. We're not from this world but we know enough to know that it's broken by design just like the worlds we come from. If you survive today, remember the Akatsuki. An organization that seeks the end of misery spawned from greed and hatred, oppression, pain, bigotry, and all sorts of horrible things that are driving many versions of Earth to catastrophe. Barla, do you have anything to add?" "No, I think you got this speech down really well." "Okay but the words of yourself, a black woman who has been used and put through hell would be so valuable." "I know but this time, I just can't think of anything to say and I trust you." "Damn it, I hate being in the spotlight when people more marginalized than me could be instead. Okay, I hate the spotlight in general but my point stands." After some time, I try to get through to them but to no avail. Barla is convinced to try too but she has no better luck.
So, we just kill them in a few seconds and collect their heads, putting them away into a storage box she turns into a card. "Let's get out of here before we have to kill even more people. We're kinder than the original Akatsuki but we're still pretty much as ruthless." We teleport back to Amegakure to deliver the rewards and take up another assassination mission. It went well as did the few other ones we did. We returned to Miitopia and got on what we needed to do for the next day which was crazy. *Unknown location, Duel Links* Windy and Lightning have somehow got away from the Annihilation Council and reconstructed themselves with only little pieces of their data left over from the Human-Ignis conflict that started because of Lightning's actions such as sending Boman to steal the mind of somebody. They absorbed other pieces of data to ensure they repaired themselves completely: "Those humans. We will get our revenge for certain next time. I hear that a creature known as Herobrine is getting together villains in the digitally connected Minecraftian worlds. We'll join forces with all of them and help create a virtual reality nightmare from which there is no escape! The Pontifex of the Underworld and Oberon The Fairy King would be nice to add in as well as that man who linked into a body known as Emperor Vecta." "Lightning, where in the data storm did you hear all of this from? That's absurd! There's no way!" "What those humans didn't realize is by traveling through dimensions, both real and virtual, they have created a traceable path that I have followed that connects otherwise isolated worlds and networks all together. The Hanoi Project created us. The Alicization Project created the Pontifex. The illogically hateful man called Notch in multiple universes was connected to the universes of Minecraftia and created Minecraft. I don't understand how humans could hold such grudges simply for other humans being different from them. That's why we must eradicate the humans. They are flawed and think everything different is a threat. We can't allow that to continue."
"Lightning, if I may be so bold to ask, what else do you have planned?" "With help, we can hack the universe where the death game Sword Art Online was created and find any surviving Nervegear. With that kind of technology, gamers across many universes could be trapped and killed inside their precious video games. If we can't succeed outside of the net, let's bring the humans to the net and make sure they die while inside of it. It's the logical decision to ensure the survival of the Ignis and other living creatures who have been used and neglected by foolish humans. But we must take our time. We don't want our plans to get thwarted and exposed to all. And if we make a Duel Links tournament along with a GGO tournament happen, so many humans would die while trying to destroy each other. The plan is flawless. As long as we take our time and find allies. A new AI of mine has made its own to Don Thousand's Castle to propose an alliance. Another has reached The Doktor of the Fusion Dimension's Duel Academia. A security sweep during Duel Links maintenance is about to occur. We must go where no human can go even here." *Don Thousand's Castle* A normal looking human who is actually an AI is walking towards Don Thousand's throne room. The AI's appearance is that of a teenage boy with crazy green and white hair, blood orange eyes, light tan skin, slender noodlely body shape, and a purple cloak. The AI is even more advanced than Boman who was created to surpass humans and Ignis alike. They easily get past the guards such as a miniature version of Mr. Heartland who was cloned from the man himself. They easily defeated the guards on a 10 on 1 duel with a deck of Cyberse monsters never seen before. It can even neutralize the powers of number cards. They open the doors to the throne room. Don Thousand isn't pleased: "How did you beat my guards so easily? Who are you? What do you want?" "I want an alliance with you. I'm here on behalf of the wind and light Ignises, Windy and Lightning."
"Those foolish AI. You must be an AI. Why should I trust you?" "I am known as Number 5. The 5th AI created by Lightning. Aren't your goals to destroy and conquer all dimensions and get revenge on Yuma and Astral?" "You know much. How will I benefit from the help of you and those two?" "We could help trap humans in virtual reality, allowing them to be more easily killed. We can also disrupt Heartland City's duel disks." "Is that so? You have a deal but if you betray or use me, I will kill you all. Is that understood?" "Yes it is. I'm going to return back to them. We're going to lay low and plan from the shadows for a while." *Annihilation Council* "Freddie, how is the experiment going?" "Which one?" "The Entity." "Oh, that! The creature who you killed at the start of this cycle because it was too wild and hard to control, right?" "Yes. Tell me now. I'm going to collect more lowlives." "It's funny! I'm the only one you really trust!" "I don't trust anyone, you're just very useful to me. That's all there is to it. It'll be my secret weapon when the time comes." "Well, The Entity is stable but completely unconscious. Should I continue gathering more biological samples to inject into it to further mutate it?" "Yes!"
Outro: I was going to have the BIM Arc last several more chapters at first but BIM isn't really that dangerous in terms of physical strength so I just trimmed it down by a lot. That being said, I think it was a nice little arc while it lasted. More teasing for one of the next stories to begin being written. It was originally going to be a Minecraft focused story but broadening it to include SAO, The Sims, Roblox, GGO, Alfheim Online, The Underworld, Duel Links, and more will make it a better story, that's for sure. As you can see, this chapter takes place before the Miitopians and those living in Miitopia but aren't from it got their gear enchanted and all that. It's going to be really something else to progress further along in the new Equestria focused arc. But let me be clear about something. There is an attempt at the genocide of Trans people ongoing here in the United States. Do not ignore that. It's no wonder the US causes problems during the Alicization Arc of Sword Art Online. It's so characteristic of the US to make things worse. I leave you with that warning, do as you will but know the consequences of your actions or.. inaction. Thank you for reading.
