Trails into Reverie: The Chaos of Babel Chapter 50: Final: All Routes: The Tower of Chaos, a Super Smash Brothers + Legend of Heroes Crossover fanfic

To Guests: Regarding Cedric, unfortunately, he won't be in Reveie nor will Kurt have another shot with him. While I can't deny that Neve is his mentor, Cedric is busy elsewhere at the time, more importantly, he doesn't want his friends to take him back to Erebonia, now that he gain his freedom and forge his own path. As Cedric said, he wanted to explore the world now that he's an Enforcer. It is not yet time for him and Kurt to settle with each other. Not yet at least.

(Trails into Reverie ost - A Moment of Warmth)

"Oh, hell no!" Sully giving a scolding look. "You need to stay in bed!"

"How many times do I need to tell you that I'm fine? You're such a worrywart." Ilya chuckled until the group came in

"Oh!"

"Ah, your timing is excellent, everyone." Seadall smiled

"Well, hello, everyone. I didn't think you'd be paying me a visit so soon."

"You're looking even better than I expected." Rixia sigh of relief. "That's such a relief."

"I've got to agree with Sully— you're probably still running on adrenaline. You should get some rest." Lloyd said

"Not to mention the psychological toll those masks are said to take on wearers." Wazy added

"No one could blame you for staying in bed while you can." Elie smiled.

"Honestly... A hospital bed is the last place I want to be after how long it took to complete my rehab." Ilya sighed. "I thought I was finally ready to take the stage again after two long years... but I also got in my head that Crossbell could never be the same again until I did. That must have been my mistake. No one forced me to put the mask on, so I share just as much of the blame."

"What do you mean?" Rixia asked

"Yeah, where's this coming from?" Sully asked

"I've been filled with the desire to make my performance bigger and better for as long as I can remember. The more I spent away from the stage, the bigger those dreams got, until I wanted to put on the biggest show ever. One so big that it would enrapture everyone—every living person in Crossbell."

"That would seem completely impossible for anyone but you..." Noel Seeker said

"In other words, the role you played was a perfect match because it was that you wanted for yourself to begin with." Seadall fold his arms.

"It's starting to click now." Lapis said.

"Yes, it certainly makes sense when you put it that way." Rixia nodded. "I could tell there was a part of you that was concerned with putting on an entertaining performance, even when you were fighting us. But that doesn't mean the dancer is who you really are."

"So what?" Sully folded her arms. "You're not just going to mope around and feel sorry for yourself, are you?! Maybe you have made a real mess of things, and yeah, Arc en Ciel's future might be a lot muddier now... but you're the one who taught me that the only way to fix your screw ups is by working hard and improving!"

"Sully?" Ilya trailed off.

"She's right you know." Seadall nodded. "I believe it would be unfair to ignore how reliant Crossbell has become on you as a role model. I'm sure everyone here would agree with me."

Sure as hell did." Randy smiled. "Take our word for it: it's worth it to stick it out and make things right instead of walking away."

"We want you to take the stage again, but it doesn't have to be as a symbol for Crossbell. Just be yourself: the best performer there ever was." KeA smiled

"Yeah! I've been dying to see you make your comeback just because I want to see you perform again!" Juna smiled

"And some of us still haven't gotten the pleasure, so know we want to see you in your element, too." Nadia replied.

"I can't deny that it feels like we've missed out." Swin smiled

"Yeah! I want to see you ons stage with my own very eyes!" Lapis smiled

"I do believe the audience has spoken." Rufus said.

"I don't know what to say..." Ilya smiled. "You're right. Me, give up? Go into early retirement? I would never! I'm Ilya Platiere, the Fervent Dancer! To perform is the breathe! There's no place in this would I belong more than the stage! I'm going to take responsibility for my role in what's happened... and I've paid my dues. I'm going to show each and every one of you the show of a lifetime!" I've got lost time to make up for as soon as I get out of here. Better yet, I'll put the new moves I learned as the Dusken Dancer to good use!"

Everyone sweatdrop.

"Y-You will?" Rixia nervous smile.

"Knowing you right now, I am not surprised." Seadall sighed. "No matter how hard you fall, you'll get back stronger. Hehe. I suppose I may be able to understand. But don't forget your doctor's orders Ilya. You're going to take it easy for awhile and recover your stamina."

"Y-Yeah, I almost forgot! Get some rest, you maniac!" Sully agreed.

"I know, I know. As much as I don't want to stay in another hospital bed, I can't begin to clean up my mess until I've recovered." Ilya sighed. "Nevertheless, my point still stands: You all don't need to worry your pretty little heads over me. All I ask is you promise to do what I can't right now: Fight your butts off!"

"It's a promise!" Rixia smiled

"Yeah, don't worry. We'll take care of things." Lloyd smiled

"Get well soon, okay?" Levi smiled. "We'll see you once this is all over."

Then they take off.

(BGM ended)

As they leave the Mushroom Kingdom Hospital and used the portal to Crossbell.

"All right, now that should be all the monsters that's taken care off." Estelle said to Joshua and Renne.

"Yeah. It's good news that we have many friends who help take care of them." Joshua nodded.

"Oh hey guys. I see you're busy as usual." Lloyd said as they approached. "Taking care of wanted monsters again?"

"Well, not regular monsters. But cryptids and demons that appeared in Crossbell. But we taken care of them with the help of everyone else."

"Yeah. So where have you guys been?" Estelle asked

"We just visit the Mushroom Kingdom for Mirelle and Ilya. They're both pulling it off."

"That's a relief."

"Indeed. It's good that Ilya and Mireille are recovering nicely." Joshua smiled.

"So Ilya is recovering well, huh? Glad to hear that." Noel said as he just enter the streets.

"Oh, hey Noel. What brings you here again?" Renne asked.

"Just patrolling the streets. People and Pokemon are still feeling uneasy, but once that tower is gone. Crossbell will be back to normal in no time."

"Glad to hear it." Lloyd smiled until he caught sight of Hakumen and Jingliu leaving the city, but notice Jingliu has a headache. "Is that Lord Hakumen and Jingliu?"

"Yeah, but does Jingliu look sick?" Elie asked. "Maybe we should check up on them."

"Yeah. Let's go." Lloyd said as they all follow Hakumen, Froslass and Jingliu in the distance as they arrived at the West Highway.

"Nngh... Nnngh..." Jingliu groaning, wrapping herself.

"Jingliu, what's wrong?" Lloyd asked

Hakumen turn his head to the group. "Why are you all here?"

"Why? We notice Jingliu wasn't feeling good. So we thought we ask if she is okay."

"She's not."

"What do you mean by that?" Lloyd asked until the dark aura emerged from her as a dark blue wisp rose from it. "..!"

"A dark aura?" Rean asked. 'I'm sensing a spiritual energy resonating from her...!'

"Stand back." Hakumen wave his arm to prevent them from getting closer.

"Nngh... Ah... Aaaaaugh!" Jingliu screamed, cowering her head until the dark aura was suppressed as Jingliu fell to her knees.

"Jingliu!" Elie exclaimed.

"I'm...*pant*" She panted until she got back on her feet. "I'm fine. I'm sorry that you all saw that... I hoped none of you would see me in this state."

"Are you okay? What was that?" Randy asked

(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Sensitive Talk)

"It's... the "curse" that afflicted me for so long."

"Curse?" Rixia asked.

"A drug that the cult forcefully injected into me called Mara."

"A drug!?"

"By cult... you don't mean..." Tio giving a concern look.

"The D.G Cult, yes. They've developed the drag called Mara as another experiment. It made me lose my sanity. Turning me into a ferocious beast. I've been battling this cursed drug that affected my body for so long... That is why I left the Luofu. To make sure no one is stained by my blade under the drug's influence..."

"So... that's the reason...?" Estelle trailed off.

"Tch... So you're another victim too..." Joshua muttered. "Have you gone to any doctor?"

"I have... but the results were the same. They could do nothing to help me." Jingliu turn to them. "It's... incurable."

'So that's her story...' Noel thought. 'If this drug been battling her for that long... is it incurable? Maybe I should ask Intellectual to examine her.'

"I... can't believe it..." Rixia sadden.

"It's all right. I can ward off the drug. So long as I don't look back. The blindfold you see is proof of that. Right now. It's almost time. I suggest we all make our preparations on the final battle."

"Yeah, but... are you sure you can still fight?" Juna asked

"I can. I only need a moment away from the city and steel my mind as I push some of the influence off my mind. If I do that, I can keep fighting and speak with all of you like this. Well, we should head back now. I'll see you at the tower."

(BGM ended)

Meanwhile...

(Kingdom Hearts II ost - Laughter and Merriment)

"So, what do you think of Crossbell so far, everyone?" Alisa asked as she and Alhaitham finish giving the tour to him and the McDuck Family and friends.

"Aye, what a fine city this is lass. And Crossbell is the advance city, no?" Scrooge asked

"It sure is. I wish we can show you a better picture than the current circumstance, however..."

"Yeah, I can feel the unease vibes here." Huey struggled. "But I can get why with that dooms weapon in the lake."

"Yeah, it's definitely screamed "the end of the world"." Louie jazz hands.

"Well it's definitely something." Della said. "So Zemuria has always has some events like this?"

"Well, possible." Alhaitham struggled. "Life here in this world is bound to have some crazy adventures."

"Sounds like my kind of world." Scoogue chuckled. "Still, this world will have no future so long as that weapon is still active."

"Yeah, but there's gotta be a way we can help, right?" Webby asked.

"Hmm... You know. Perhaps there is a way. After all, the McDuck family thrives adventures!"

"You also want to help out too? But what can you do?" Alisa asked.

"You'll be surprise, lass of what me and my family can do. But first, Princess Peach told me about this International Zemurian Tech Union. I would like to know more about it."

"Oh, sure. In fact, follow me. I know someone who can explain more on the union." Alisa said as they journey to IBC building and see Tita and Erika, Ludwig, Roman and Neo. "Hey guys!"

"Oh, hey Alisa, Alhaitham. Oh, and the McDuck family, right?" Tita smiled

"Whoa! What's this big thing?!" Webby eye sparkling as she approached it.

"Whoa there sunshine. Hands off the Orbal Gear." Erika said.

"Orbal Gear, huh?" Scrooge rub his beak as he asks and examines it. "What a fine piece of machinery. Is this some sort of combat suit?"

"In a sense, yes. I was doing some maintenance with some help I've got from Alisa's mom." Tita smiled. "It's now able to operate about 120% percent for performance. We even installed an escape system in the event of an emergency, upping pilot safety to 285 points.'

"That goes in part with the upgrade monitoring system that now tracks the pilot's vital signs." Erika smirked.

"I don't understand that but nice going. Mind if we take it for a spin?" Huey asked.

"Hmm, sure not if you can operate my duck friend."

"Well this Orbal gear does sound intriguing." Scrooge said. "So it's part of the International Zemurian Tech Union?"

"Yes. Why do you ask?" Erika asked

"Well, I am a businessman myself. I came to Zemuria and to further take my fortune across the stars. For example, I set up shops and I invented a new type of Ice cream called Seasalt Ice cream. And business has continue to boom. After that, I open up a restaurant. And now here I am wanted to do business with Zemuria. I'm still not sure what but perhaps I may help with the Union with funds."

"So you want to invest the International Zemurian Tech Union?" Erika blinked.

"That's right. But not just the union, but other businesses I might have in mind. Money isn't a problem since I'm Scrooge McDuck! The wealthiest traveling businessman." Scrooge smirked

"An investment is nice and all, but are you sure you can invest with your money?"

"Of course I can. You have your international currency system here. Besides, I have billions of Mira in your terms.

"Wait... how much are we talking?" Erika's eye sparkling.

"M-Mom..." Tita sighed.

"But are you sure you want to invest the union, Mr. McDuck?" Alisa asked

"But of course! Besides, we don't want anything bad happening in your world, right lassie? I have so much money, so losing and gaining a few bucks won't change a thing. And as a businessman, I know my way around investments and business. I've been doing it for more than 80 years."

Erika, Alisa, Alhaitham and Tita had an !? over their heads.

"Wait, how long?!" They jawdropped.

(BGM ended)

Meanwhile...

(Trails into Reverie ost - Gears named Fate)

"Ah, it's so good to see you, Lady Jingliu." Cao said. "I see you kept your word about speaking to us later. It's been over 15 years since we last spoked to each other."

"That it has Cao. I remember that you were quite the cunning young man, and proven to be a worthy adversary. Hard to imagine how long it has been." Jingliu light chuckled. "What's more, you grown. More devilish cunning."

"You flatter me, Lady Jingliu. You were the only one who managed to outmaneuver me and catch me with the elements of surprise during our little battle. But it was thanks to your wisdom that I was able to improve myself. Ahh... I miss those days when you and I were unpredictable to each other."

"Hehe. I remember that you were walking little Ashen that day. Speaking off, how is Gien's granddaughter been doing? I haven't seen her since she was eight years old. Not to mention Aaron. That little rascal."

"Both Miss Ashen and Aaron are doing quite well. Ashen has change a lot. Including Aaron. He certainly becoming quite hotheaded, in a good way. He's been leading s group of delinquencies in Langport, and is making quite the name for himself." Cao said.

Jingliu chuckled. "That sounds like Aaron all right. He was always full of energy and smiles back as a child. I've heard he's becoming talented with the Gekka style. And that he's quite a troublesome player. Did he take after his father with that."

"You already answer that question."

"I should have known." Jingliu sighed until she gave a pensive look. "I haven't seen Yuefa after she died. It must be hard for Aaron..."

"..." Cao closed his eyes.

"I had the thought if things were different, I would have taken Aaron in. Yuefa was my friend after all. And Aaron treated me like his aunt."

"If you're wondering about the young prodigy, why not pay him a visit?"

"Maybe someday. I haven't seen him since he was 14 years old when he was becoming reckless. I imagine he must have forgotten about me."

"I highly doubt that. He still remembers you fondly. Same with Ashen, Lord Fan, and many others I can mention." Cao replied. "Speaking off... Why did you fake your death? It does not make sense for someone of your caliber to suddenly claim to be dead. What's more... you look exactly how I remember you to be regarding your age. You're 47... and yet..."

"Heh." Jingliu light chuckled. "That's a story for another time. But right now, I'm more focused on the battle ahead. So, what will Heiyue do?"

"Heh. You should guess that by now."

(BGM ended)

Meanwhile...

"C'mon, c'mon..." Noel said impatiently as if he was somewhere else in Crossbell until someone answered his call in his Gamma 2.0 "Ah, finally!"

'Noel? This is surprising. What is it?' A woman's voice asked

"Listen, I got a big favor to ask of you. I'm afraid I can't explain right away. I'm heading out to the deadliest and most serious battles in all of Zemuria's history. I'm sure you saw the Retributive Tower on the news, right?"

"Oh, it's a very popular topic right now. I am rather curious about it. I've heard from the Fool, the Second Anguis, and our network involving the Singularity: Elysium."

"Oh yeah, then I'm sure you heard that a certain Anguis is part of it."

"The professor, you mean? I already heard from the Abyss."

"That makes it easier. Here are the details of my... personal affairs. And then I need you to make it to Crossbell in these coordinates immediately after. Although I am uncertain for how long... I ask for your patience. Plus, I also need your help to punish him."

Later...

(Trails into Reverie ost - Dark World)

Below the city harbor were large numbers of Police forces and Guardian Force members.

"It's come, Madame Regina." Sonya said.

"Indeed." Madame Regina said firmly. "I must express my utmost gratitude to each of you for volunteering to go on this mission. I am unable to stand alongside you on the fighting front, but if I may be bold, I will still be fighting in my own way. Today we march for freedom, for peace, and for the future our families deserve. We have struggled on the battlefield, at the podium, in the press, on the vast reaches of the orbal net... and those struggles helped to earn us our signing ceremony mere days ago. Try they may to strip us of victory, but the world has seen our strength before, and they shall soon see it again. They shall see that as long as the fires of hope burn within us, we will never yield—no matter the obstacle we face! We will now commence the final operation: the Wings of Genesis! I pray for your success and safe return!"

"All Guardian Force members and support units, move out!" Sonya yelled in command.

"Yes ma'am!" The Forces yelled as they boarded their ships and begin setting out.

With the heroes...

"It begins." Elliot said.

"This is what will finally put an end to the chaos that plagues Crossbell." Jusis said.

"Right. And usher in a new dawn for Zemuria." Machias said.

"I wish we could have played a bigger part in the kickoff." Rean sighed.

"I agree, but it's important that details for each step stay on a need-to-know basic to prevent any information from leaking." Altina said.

"Don't worry. Your part's coming up, so just sit tight." Towa said.

"Trust us. It will be a surprise." Robin smiled. "It will be a battle like no other."

"Ugh..." Juna muttered. "Sitting tights's about the hardest thing you could ask of us right now."

"It cannot be help, everyone. Just be patient." Jingliu said.

"Yeah. As much as I wanna join in... we got no choice but to wait here until our moment is here." Daisy agreed.

"Indeed." Bayonetta nodded. "We will show the enemy our "welcoming" gift."

"That's one way of putting it." Florian scratch his cheeks.

"Man..." Penny frown. "I've never felt this much... tension in my whole life."

"Yeah... This is nothing compare to the Pokemon Battles or anything." Nemona agreed.

"It's a battle like no other." Ann said.

"Yeah..." Sora said as his hand shaken.

"Are you feeling okay, Sora?" Kairi asked

"Yeah. I'm perfectly fine." Sora thumps up.

"You know you're lying." Kairi staring at Sora's other hand which shaken a bit, causing Sora to sigh.

"Okay... I am more nervous then usual. This is almost like the Keyblade Graveyard."

"Yeah, I can understand that. Except this one... may be our biggest." Ragna comment.

"Yes... I just hope the forces below will do well." Tager said

"Good luck, Fran!" Noel Seeker prayed.

Lloyd placed his hand over his chest. "And Aidios... please watch over them."

With the Crossbellan Forces...

"We're approaching the danger zone. No sign of enemies yet!" Fran informed from her binoculars.

"Officers, be ready for battle at a moment's notice!" Sergei yelled

"Yes, sir!" The Policeman respond as Fran had an ! over her head, look at her binoculars and see the Retributive Tower open one of its hatches and and Zauber Soldots were coming out.

(BGM ended)

(Trails into Reverie ost - Stake Everything Strategy)

"Enemy Zauber Soldots in sight! Over a hundred of them, even!" Fran yelled "J-Just look at the size of them!"

"All right... Begin the offensive!" Dudley yelled

And then the battle begin with gunfires and bullets were fired between the forces of Crossbell the Forces of Darkness.

With the group...

"Holy crap... That's tons of Soldots!" Ryuji yelled.

"But how? There weren't half as many at the signing ceremony!" Tio exclaimed.

"They must have built more at the military factory." Alisa muttered

"Yeah. It will explain how they obtain that large numbers of ores." Kokonoe muttered. "With numbers like that, it will outnumber us."

Kazuha turn his head and had an ! over his head. "Wait, everyone, look!"

They turn in the distance and see two familiar trains.

"Hot Damn. Ain't those...?" Ash paused

"It's the Derfflinger and Arc Royale!" Musse exclaimed

In both trains...

"All branch campus units, ready!" Isara yelled

"All main campus units, also ready!" Instructor Mary yelled

"Open the hatches! Soldots, move out!" Major Michael yelled

"Sir!" The students of Thors and Branch Campus yelled as the train hatches opened and they take off, attacking the Zauber Soldots while Pokemon who are flying such as Crobat attacked with Air Slash.

Then other airships fleets attacked the Zauber Soldots.

"Better steer her right, Jingo!" Ashleigh yelled.

"You know I will! Time to turn a profit!" Jingo yelled inside

"We'll cover your blind spots!" Bracer Aeolia yelled.

"In and out in a flash!" Bracer Scott yelled.

"Now let's go make profits!" Anna (Fire Emblem)

"Yeah!" Other Annas yelled

"All right! Let's get this going!" Toval smirked.

"You got that right!" Junpei smirked. "Let's do this Shadow Operatives!"

"Right!" Yukari, Ken Armada, and Akihiko as Kuromaru barked

"All right, let's do this everyone!" Rosado yelled.

"Yeah!" Clanne, Framme, Boutcheron, Etie, Louis Chloé, Jean (Fire Emblem), Amber, Jade, Citrinne, Lapis (Fire Emblem) Yunaka, Saphir, Zelkob, Kagetsu, Goldmary, Lindon, Merrin, Panette, Bunet, Pandreo, Zelestia, Gregory, Madeline, Marni, and Marvier.

"Go my warriors!" Eleanor of the EAF stook on the edge of her battleship, aiming her left twin axe with her three children, Miles, Auroura and Damian readied their weapon. "Let us crush the enemy for dare endanger our home, our world into pieces!"

"You heard her! Move out and give 'em hell!" Miles smirked, readied his scythe.

"YEAH!" The EDF members yelled as their airships take off and begin firing.

Back with the group...

"Jingo! Josette! Toval! Anna and her sisters!" Lucina smiled

"Yukari... Junpei, Akihiko, Ken, Kuromaro..." Makoto Yuki smiled.

"Even Eleanor, her EAF and her kids!" Sara gasped and then smile.

"There's another Bobcat, too! That's gotta be!" Estelle cheered

"Don and Kyle! They're here!" Joshua smiled

Renne gasped. "I wouldn't celebrate yet!"

The barrier on the Retributive Tower lower the barrier and then more Zauber Soldots were unleashed into battle.

"More of those Asmodyne Model?!" Tails gasped.

"Tch. This isn't looking good." Knuckles muttered.

"Too bad for them we saw this coming." Vita said as she cast her magic and open portals where Ouroboros ships emerges out.

"Aren't those...?" Sharon gasped.

"Society Airship!" Agate smirked.

"You got to be kidding..." Noel said in surprise.

Back on the battlefield...

On one of Ouroboros ships, Ines with her Decidueye and Ines with her Scizor took their battlestand.

"I'm sure Duvalie, our Lord and the Young Lord won't mind leaving this to us." Ines smirked

"It's an honor to be able to fight at your side, Killing Bear." Leo brought out his Gauntlet and Xeno his Rifle Blade. "Different as you seem now."

"Heh. Like you're ones to talk. Now let's do this!" Garcia smirked, cracking his knuckles.

"HA HA HA! Never fear, my friends! The KING has arrived!" Gilbert yelled

"Shut the fuck up Gilbert!" Alban yelled as he was seen riding on his Pegasus. "Focus on the fight!"

Back with the group...

"Xeno and Leo!" Fie cheered

"Ines and Ennea!" Duvalie smirked

"Heh." Emblem Arianrhod smiled

"Hey, it's Alban!" Natsu exclaimed.

"The Ice Dragon Slayer of Ouroboros." Gray said

Noel palmface. "Again. You got to be kidding me... You brought that useless idiot? But why isn't Shirley among the group?"

"Did you call everyone here Vita?" Emma asked.

"Well, they wanted something to do, so I pulled rank and gave them something to do.' Vita wink. "Plus, Alban wanted to join the fun so who am I want to decline the Ice Dragon? Plus he has something personal he wants to protect. I'm so glad I got Zephyr's contact information during the war as well."

"Pull rank my foot, Abyss." Emblem Loewe fold his arms, giving a 'I doubt it' look.

"This woman is never without her surprises." Celine muttered.

"B-But with this many on our side, we'll surely win!" Noel Seeker smirked

"Don't be naive." Jin told her. "It will take more than that.

"Right. Remember, not just the Soldots that can defend the tower." Litchi reminded. "Look!"

On sight, the Retributive Tower lowered the barrier and open hatches to fired laser beams, toward the Crossbellian forces. The laser hit not just the ships, but also the soldots. But as another begin to fire. One soldot was piloting was Ada, But a barrier suddenly protected her.

"That looks like—" Gaius gasped as coming in now are Merkabah ships.

In one of the ships...

"Hahaha! Now this is what I call a good time!" Wald smirked

"We'll need to do Father Wazy proud on this one!" Scarlet smirked

Back with the group...

"Father Thomas!' Gaius exclaimed

"Looks like Wald and Scarlet made it after all." Wazy smirked

"Hah. I see number third and eleventh dominions also join the fight." Kevin smirked.

"We're pulling out all the stops here." Juna smirked. "At this point, we've got our win in the bag!"

"It's still not enough." Lapis said to them.

"We're buying time at beast. It's not enough to win." Nadia remarked.

"We're up against intelligence that transcends human limits. I doubt we've even seen all it's capable of." Clare agreed.

"Yeah. Can't afford to miss a minute." Lechter agreed.

"If only some of you have the brains to realize it." Neve sighed

"Grrr...!" Juna had anime cross ticks on her head.

"Try not to antagonize them." Swin sighed

"Force of habit." Neve shrugged. "Anyway, the tide is slowly turning against us."

As Neve remarks, the Zauber Soldots are pushing back the Crossbellan forces and their reinforcements.

"I-I know those Soldats are strong, but this can't be!" Tita gulped.

"We're little more than a colorful crew assembled at the last minute. Our foe has Elysium." Rufus stated. "It's likely parsing data from this battle and adapting in real time."

"In an instant, it can use that information to work out where its next strike will hurt us most." Fuuka added.

"Just like the co-supreme leaders." Riku muttered.

"Kgh." Lloyd grit his teeth. "Is there NO way for us to outsmart it!?"

"Ask and ye shall receive!" A familiar voice responded as everyone had an ! over their heads as they turn and see Zeo, Siegs and a Swanna flying in the air. "Prepare for teleportation!"

"Joshua, look!" Estelle gasped

"That Falcon and Swanna must be...!" Joshua said as the Courageous II was hovering over the group.

"The Courageous II?!" Rean asked

"But its engine got completely trashed!" Sara remarked

"Everyone, We're teleporting aboard!" Roselia yelled

"All right, now we can begin." Konoe smirked.

"I shall aid you!" Zeit said.

"Same with us!" Nahida said as Zhongli, Ei, Miko, Mavuika, Furina, Palutena, Levi, Venti, Viridi, Rachel, Raquel, Arval, Kamek, Mona, Ludwig, Wendy Koopa, Larry, Lemmy, Iggy, Vita, Roselia, Yen Sid, Ivy, Hortensia, Annette, Morgan, Penny, Aether, Leo, Albedo, Mewtwo, Peach, Monica, Hubert, Annette, and Elliot combine their magic and teleported into the ship.

In the Retriubitve Tower control room...

The large screen revealed an error and sounded the alarm.

"What?" Chaos Rean raised an eyebrow.

"Well, well, well." Dimentio mused.

Back with the heroes...

After everyone teleported to the ship and the Retributive Tower fired laser beam. the Courageous II activated a barrier, then later remove a disguise, revealing a white ship.

"The heck? It's white now?" Levi asked

"This is the white wings!" Lloyd gasped

"You gotta be kidding me!" Estelle laughed as the Liberl Team turn to the ship control room area.

"Oh, but I would never kid, my dear Estelle!" Olivert chuckled

Inside the White Ships...

George was in the Hanger along with the Cardinal, Makarov (Thors) Schmidt, and Mint, revealing Paladin Soldots, Valimar and Ordine. Inside the control room was not just Olivert, but Neithardt, Angelica, Erika, the McDuck Family, Alfin, her Gardevoir, Elise (Trails) with Bellossom, Jean, (Genshin), Kaeya, Lisa, Amber (Genshin), Mika, Noelle, Sucrose, Fischl, Oz, Mueller, Chief Robert, E. Gadd, Dr. Light, Dr. Crygos, Penny Crygos, Maria Calavera, Scherazard, Jona, Whiteley, Pietro, Penny Polendina, Cassius, Klaudia, and Lucy Seiland.

"A sister ship to the Courageous II that incorporates its data to better fight the crisis of tomorrow!" Olivert smirked "The High-speed cruiser, the Arseille II!"

Back with the group...

"I don't believe it!" Joshua smiled

"Even Kloe's here to help now!" Estelle cheered then turn to Eula. "Wait, you know this ship was developed?"

"I was." Eula smirked. "But it's been a closed guarded secret. And it seems Jean, Kaeya and the others have join along."

"What a thing to be keeping in your back pocket." Tita smiled

"Damn. You really outdid yourself this time." Agate smirked.

"I must say, even I didn't foresee such an exciting development." Rufus smirked

"Nor did I. Once again, my respect for the Debaucherous Prince continues to impress." Neve smirked

"Heh. Would it've killed you to have dropped me a line, Kloe?" Lechter chuckled.

"Course, that's not the only surprise." Olivert said.

Then suddenly, multiple portals appeared and then revealed to be Bowser's Airship Fleet. But that's not all. But a new larger airship. However, it is unlike any of Bowser's airship's current designs. It was an assault ship design with a green body color, yellow spikes, a red "mouth". Basically, think of it as the Omega Doomship from SMBZ.

Alongside them were the Batallion of Human Soldiers riding Pegasus, Wyverns or magic broomsticks. Parakoopas, Paragoombas, and Magikoopas on their broomsticks.

"Mama Mia!" Mario exclaimed as everyone look surprised. "Bowser's Armada!"

"Is that a new airship?" Luigi asked in surprise.

"I've never seen an airship like that!" Sara exclaimed

"Mwahaha. Why yes. This is just one of the ships that we've been developing in secret." Ludwig said. "Except this time, our usual weapons isn't the only one we have, but we added some orbal cannons and modified weapons."

Alisa sighed. "I swear, you guys are way too creative. Wait... how many resources do you guys have!?"

"Sorry Alisa, that's a secret between us." Mona giggled.

"But it isn't just Bowser's Kingdom who joins the fight." Palutena smiled as coming out with Bowser's Armada were Airships similar to Bowser's airships, but they had the Mushroom Kingdom Symbols.

"Those ships...!" Dedede rub his chin.

"They're the Mushroom Kingdom airship division that Kagura whips out." Peach smiled. "In case if Bowser wanted to fight on the air. Or when something like the Great Twilight happens again. So he advised with an army in secret, we'll use them when it's necessary for this."

"But it isn't just the Mushroom Kingdom either." Viridi said.

"It isn't?" Pit asked "Then who?"

"Why us of course!" A voice respond as Pit had an ! over his head as flying toward was Viridi's Forces of Nature.

"The Forces of Nature?!" Pit gasped as Phosphera flew pass them.

"Indeed Master Pit." Arlon said. "And of course..."

"Captaaain!" A voice yelled as Centurions came from the sky above.

"The Centurions?!" Pit gasped.

"That's right." Palutena nodded. "Both my army and the Forces of Nature will join this battle."

"And not just them." A voice said as flying fast ships appeared, firing energy bullets, hitting the Zauber Soldots. "This is Star Fox! We got you guys covered."

"Ah, I thought you guys would be here." Bango said.

"It's also not just Star Fox." Meta Knight turn his head and see another group of flying ships. "But Star Wolf too. And of course."

Coming in from stealth mode was The Halberd.

"It's the Helbard!" Tita exclaimed.

"And don't forget about us!" A voice boomed as a large portal from the sky and then revealed Arceus, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Latios, Latias, Dialga, Palkia, Girarina, Cresselia Tornadus, Thunderus, Landorus, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Yveltal, Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, Solgaleo, Lunala, Necrozma Enamorus, the Galarian Articuno, Galarian Moltres, Nihilego, Buzzwole, Celesteela, Kartana, Poiple, Naganadel, Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Darkrai, Shaymin, Victini, Meleotta, Genesects, Rayquaza, and Hoopa.

Kyogre, Xerneas, Zygarde, 100 perfect form, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Manaphy, and Phione came from the water. Coming from portals from land nearby was Grroudon, Heatran, Regigigas, Regirock, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion Regice, Registeel, Regieleki, Redidrago, Volcanion, Diancie, Keldeo, Marshadow, Zeraora, Melmetal, Zarude, Balacephalon, Stalkata, Guzzlord, Xurkitree, and Pheromosa.

"Legendary and Mythical Pokemon?!" Hop exclaimed.

"Just like with the Great Twilight." Bede said.

"In that case." Victor got his Pokeball. "Come join the gang!" He toss his Pokeball and came out was Eternatus.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAGU!" A voice boomed as they turn and see The Immaculate Ones flew pass the Arseulle II and unleashing a laser beam toward the Zauber Soldots and Sothis teleported to the group.

"Now fall!" Sothis raised her arm and snapped her finger as a gigantic magic circle appeared and rain down large fireballs on the Zauber Soldots.

"To arms, Knights of Seiros!" Seteth yelled. "Fight to protect this world from this monstrosity!"

"YEAH!" The Knights of Seiros yelled as Catherine reaided Thunderbrand, Shamir reaided her arrows along with Cyril on his Wyvern, Flayn readied her magic, Manuela, Hannemen and Alois readied their magic and weapons.

"All right, Black Eagles, Blue Lions, Golden Deer and Ashen Wolves! To arms!" Ingrid yelled as all Black Eagle members, Blue Lions, Golden Deer, and Ashen Wolves readied their weapons and magic.

"Yeah!" They yelled

"Come on, guys! Let's do this!" Ares and the Rune Factory 5 Gang on one of the ships yelled.

"Yeaaah!" Martin, Beatrice, Fuuka (Rune Factory 5) Lucy (Rune Factory 5), Ludmila, Priscilla, Scarlett, Cecil, Lucas, Murakumo, Reinhard and Ryker yelled

"Our classmates." Edelgard look in surprised

"Hmph. So they arrived." Hubert smirked

"And our friends from Rigbarth!" Elliot cheered.

"Holy moly, we got ourselves an army now!" Lissa cheered.

"Mwahaha! You got that right!" Crazy Hand appeared from the portal along with Master Hand. "Let the carnage begin!" He unleash laser beams from his hand along with Master Hand.

Bowser's Fleet, Mushroom Kingdom air force, firing attacks from Orbal cannons onto the Zauber Soldots. The Pokemon done their own attacks against the Zauber Soldots. More Zauber Soldots were being released, and then shortly destroyed in seconds. The Arseille II passed the Zauber Soldots who were active, however, they didn't attack.

"Check it out! The Zauber Soldots look like they're scared stiff or something!" Millium smirked.

"It's because we defied Elysium's predictions." Lapis fist pump.

"And adding a large army to take down the Zauber Soldots with ease." Neve asked as they see more and more Zauber Soldots are coming out from the Retributive Tower, but the Pokemon were being and the other airships helping shoot them down.

"Now's our chance!" Lapis cheered

However, they saw the Divine Lightning being charged.

"Uh oh! I think something big is coming!" Goofy yelled

"I don't think we can protect ourselves from that attack!" Donald asked

"Not if we have anything to say about that!" Furina smirked

"Right." Nahida nodded as she snapped her fingers.

Underneath the Retributive Tower was the Septium Veins being pulled its energy into the cannon... suddenly, the energy is being reversed, causing the Divine Lightning to slowly fading its power.

In the Retributive Tower again...

Multiple errors appeared on the screen.

"What?!" Chaos Rean slammed his hand on the control panel. "What's going on!? The energy of the Septium Veins is being taken away!? How is this possible?! Without it... the Divine Lightning and the barrier will...!"

Back outside...

"Look!" Carmine yelled as they see the Divine Lightning charging is weakening further.

"The Divine Lightning is getting weaker? No..." Tartaglia remarked.

"We sever the connections of the Retributive Tower and the Septium Veins. The Divine Lightning will loses its power. And with it... so too will the barrier." Zhongli said.

"Now, let's see how our mastermind will react to this." Mavuika smirked.

Back inside the Retributive Tower...

"No! NO!" Chaos Rean snarling. "This power is power by the Septium Vein! Without it, it will—"

"Now, now Chaos. No need to panic. Do you remember the backup power I told you to use?" Dimentio asked with a grin on his face.

Chaos Rean had an ! over his head. "Oh... Of course. How could I forget." He dark grin.

Back outside...

The barrier of the Retributive Tower is weakening.

"Look! The barrier is weakening!" Amy yelled.

"Now we can infiltrate the tower!" Arven smirked

Inside the ship was the Cardinal, but she had an !? over her head. "Wait, what's happening?"

Suddenly the barrier returned to normal.

"What?!" Kirito gasped. "The barrier is back!? But how?!"

The Divine Lightning is charging.

"And the Divine Lightning is back! But how!?" Rouge exclaimed.

"Shadow turn to the Archons. "I thought you severed the connection to that thing."

"We did!" Nahida exclaimed. "It shouldn't be able to fire! Unless... Not unless it either has a backup power... or a generator from the Septium Veins!"

"Tch! So it even predicted that the Septium Vein would be close from it?!" Hilda frowned.

"No, I don't think so. I think it may use another source of power! Like the Chaos Emeralds for example." Lysithea said.

"Ah, shoot, you're right!" Claude exclaimed. "The Chaos Emerald can be used as an alternative source!"

Back in the Retributive Tower...

"Heehehahaha! Dimentio, you were right!" Chaos Rean laughed. "The Chaos and the Master Emerald are indeed perfect alternative sources! But... how did the Septium Veins power suddenly been pulled away? It doesn't make sense... No matter. Fire at that ship!"

Back outside again...

"It's going to launch at us!" Blaze yelled.

"Don't worry, I'll protect us—" Zhongli channel his power.

"No wait, keep your power hidden!" Konoe told Zhongli. "Roselia, Vita!"

"I know." Roselia casting her magic with Vita and Konoe. "Now, come forth!"

Then multiple magic circles appeared and came in were Trinity, Wallace, Matteus, Victor Arseid, Vandyck, Aurelia, Jubei, and Valkenyn.

"F-Father?!" Kurt exclaimed.

"Master?!" Ragna exclaimed.

"Major General Bardias! General Vandyck!" Gaius gasped.

"When did they coordinate bringing the Empire's... even Lord Jubei fearsome warriors?" Laura wondered.

"Hakumen, Zhongli. You join in too." Konoe command.

"Very well." Hakumen said.

"Understood. Ei, Mavuika, join me!" Zhongli said.

"Got it!" Mavuika nodded.

"But of course. Acheron, join us as well." Ei summon her Naginara.

"Understood." Acheron nodded as the warriors' group.

"Blessing of the blue curse and flame be upon you!" Both Vita and Roselia chant while Konoe, Yen Sid, Nahida and Furina casting magic, causing purple flames to appear on the Warriors' weapons.

"An enchantment!" Emma gasped.

"Wait... are they gonna...?" Caelus blinked.

"It's time they witnessed the roar of the lion after the hell they incurred upon my homeland." Wallace glared.

"Go forth, my masters, and show your disciples and children that your skills have never dulled!" Aurelia exclaimed

"Nothing will ever dampen your fire, now, will it?" Matteus wondered

"And a show they'll have—for I would never have it otherwise!" Victor Arseid declared.

"That's right. You Youngsters leave this to us." Jubei said.

The Divine Lightning was then fired toward the Arseulle II, until Aurelia swing her sword toward the laser to deflect, until each of the warriors raised their enchanted weapons onto the Divine Lightning, unleashing their warcrys and repelled it.

"Holy! They repel it!?" Sonic yelled

"What the hell did I just watch?" Ash asked in shock.

Back inside the Retributive Tower...

"WHAT?!" Chaos Rean slam his hand again. "THEY REPELLED IT?!"

"Oh my..." Even DImentio was surprised.

Back outside...

"The barrier is still standing! The Chaos Emerald are supplying the barrier and the Divine Lightning with unlimited power! We can't get through unless we somehow weaken it!" Tails exclaimed

"Then allow me to help!" Trinity cloaked in an aura and raised her staff. "I collected enough data on the barrier so I may be able to create a hole!"

(BGM ended)

"Then fired away Trinity!" Konoe yelled

(Trails into Reverie ost - The Destination of Fate)

The hatch opens in the Arseulle II as Trinity cast a magic circle in front of the canon.

"Fire the main cannon!" Olivert yelled as the laser cannon fired a large beam to the barrier.

Then a large magic circle appeared to where it was shot, two white flashes appeared. The Magic circle soon vanished and later reveal a hole on the barrier.

"It worked!" Ries yelled.

"The path is open. Go forth, heroes of light!" Yen Sid yelled.

"Not just to end this conflict— but to carve yourselves a new tomorrow!" Victor Arseid yelled

"Right! Everyone yelled

"Ala ad eum locus! (Wings, take flight!)" Emma and Celine cast this magic as Nahida, Furina, Zhongli, Miko, and Ei cast magic.

Everyone begin to turn into orbs and flew toward the hole.

Back inside the Retributive Tower...

"So this is one of Trinity's skills I've heard so much about." Dimentio rub his chin. "They'll be able to infiltrate now."

Chaos Rean shaken with anger. "I... have had ENOUGH!"

Chaos Rean channels his power and slams it onto the ground.

(BGM ended)

Back Outside...

Suddenly, a great disturbance is felt by everyone as they all had an ! over their heads.

(Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Remake ost - The Shadow Queen is Reborn)

A black shockwave burst out of the Retributive Tower, causing the barrier to shut down, and a black barrier was replaced. The shockwave also push back the orbs of everyone. The Orbs were knocked back to the Arseulle II.

"Augh!" Rean winched.

"Nngh... What... was that?" Lloyd groaned.

"The barrier! It's..." Emma stared in shock.

"It's been amplified?!" Celine asked in shocked

"No..." Trinity stared in disbelief. "The barrier has been replaced!"

"A new barrier?! Are you kidding me?!" Bowser growled.

"No..." Zhongli felt a chill down his spine... "That barrier... it can't be...!"

Back inside the Retributive Tower...

"There." Chaos Rean got back on his feet. "I am getting tired of all of this. It's time to end those heroes. Now that I've got them all in one place." He channeled a purple-black void energy from his hand and then aimed it at the sky and fired.

Back outside...

The void energy was aim at the atmosphere of the world. Then it spread a purple black vortex, resembling the void spreading out in Super Paper Mario, causing the sky to turn dark as the void spread throughout Crossbell.

"What..." Noel eye widen in horror.

"What... is this...?" Emblem Arianrhod stare in horror.

In the Celestial Globe...

The Grandmaster widen her eyes as she felt a heartbeat.

"W-What?" She place her hand over her chest, staring at the ceiling. "This... this power... What... terrifying power..."

With Dry Bowser's Headquarters...

"Oh?" Dry Bowser was sitting on his thrown, watching the whole event through a direct channel. "So... this is the Chaos Heart's power Dimentio told me."

"This power..." Medusa asked intrigued yet feared. "How interesting."

With Salem...

"Hm?" Salem blinked as she place her hand over her chest. "What... was that just now?"

Back with the heroes...

"What... the hell..." Randy felt his sweat coming down his chest.

"..." Rean stared in horror as he turn pale. "This... This feeling... It's..."

"It's the Chaos Heart." Zhongli spoked, catching everyone's attention as they turn to him as he lower his head, gritting his teeth. "A void was launch into the sky. The barrier we see now... is also a power from the Chaos Heart. I'm afraid... nothing can break it."

"W-W-W-What do you mean nothing?!" Roselia exclaimed.

"One of the Chaos Heart's powers isn't just to destroy worlds, and dimension... but it also grants the power to have complete immunity to all harm. Nothing within the universe can harm that barrier. Even us." Nahida lower his head, causing everyone to have an !? over their heads.

"W-What are you saying?!" Sothis asked, turning pale.

"It's completely indestructible. It seems the other Rean have grown tired of this." Ei muttered.

"That can't be true." Acheron grit her teeth. "Maybe I'll take it from—"

"Not even you can break it Acheron." Ei turn to her with a serious look. "The power that you gain from my teaching will not save you." She turn to the barrier. "See for yourself."

Acheron was conflicted but she nodded, took a step forward, drawing her Odachi as her form suddenly change, causing everyone to have an !? over their heads. Her skin turn pale white and her eyes are change to red with white pupils. Most of her outfit is now colored in red, white and black. Red, tattoo-like markings are visible on her neck, midriff, and thighs. A few Adenium Obesum flowers are found on her arms, chest and shoulder guard. She sent a red slash energy projection toward the barrier as its power struggle each other, but the barrier overpowered the projection, causing it to dissolve.

"..!" Acheron change back, looking shocked. "No..."

"It was repelled?!" March stared in disbelief.

"If our boss couldn't break it then...!" Dan Heng grit his teeth in fear.

A Booming roar was heard, causing everyone to have an !? over their heads, as they turn and see Aion Ridley make its appearance as it flew out from the Retributive Tower's Divine Lightning launch. It unleash another thunderous roared.

"Are you kidding me?!" Samus growled

"Aion Ridley...!" Rean grit his teeth.

"Wait... something's coming!" Kazuha exclaimed.

Coming out from the Retributive Tower was a massive swarm of Shadow Heartless. The Heartless swarm in the air until it form into the Demon Tide. The same form back in the Keyblade Graveyard as it form into a tornado.

"W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-Wha..." Tita turn pale.

"You gotta be shitting me..." Agate stare in disbelief.

"No... Not again...!" Aqua grit her teeth. "It's the Heartless back in the Keyblade Graveyard!"

"That's the thing you all face at the Keyblade Graveyard?" Elie turn pale.

"A foe almost impossible to defeat... until Sothis rewind time to undo our defeat." Laura grit her teeth.

"Except this time... My Divine Pulse has been block off! I don't know how but... I don't think I can rewind time to alert you all!" Sothis grit her teeth.

"Then... we're all doom..." KeA fell on her knees.

Aion Ridley roared as it spread out its arms, summoning countless portals and each one emerge was a sharp edge of a blade. Zhongli gasped in horror.

"NO!" Zhongli step up and then created a massive barrier to spread out as Aion Ridley throw his arms.

The barrier shielded everyone from below and above the air. The Demon Tide launch attack on the barrier.

"Brother!" Levi aim his hand and fired a beam of light to destroy the Heartless and then fired another one against Aion Ridley.

Aion Ridley dodge the attack and roared at the group as it lung toward the barrier and then try to claw its way it repeatedly.

"Heed my call, Vali—"

"No Rean!" Zhongli yelled. "You mustn't summon Valimar! This thing was design to eat Divine Knights, if you fight it without precaution, you'll lose both your life and Valimar!"

"..!" Rean gasped in horror.

"Then we got to kick this things ass!" Ash readied his axe.

"But what are we gonna do with that?!" Juna pointed at the Demon Tide as it attacking the Crossbellan forces, taking down a couple of the boats, and even taking a couple of Policemen and Guardian Force, taking down the Branch, Main Campus soldots, knocking away the Pokemon.

"Ngh! W-We're going to lose at this rate!" Robin grit his teeth.

"Damn it... if only we can get through the barrier!" Chrom grit his teeth. "There has to be something we can do to get through it!"

"But isn't the barrier completely immune?! How can we break through it?!" Lissa asked

"Damn it, we gotta try something!" Shez yelled.

"Yeah! We can't give up!" Crow agreed.

'Damn it... is there something we can do to get through that barrier?!' Lloyd clenched his fist. 'Something... there has to be something!'

(BGM ended)

Levi close his eyes, looking started, until he looked with determination.

"There's no way in hell I'm accepting this." Levi said as he stepped forward.

"Levi?" Lloyd turned as so did the others.

(Kingdom Hearts III ost - Dearly Beloved)

"We fought so hard to make it this far. I won't allow anyone to take that away. Be it an AI, or someone who has control over fate and destiny. This world will not fall. And neither should I." Levi stop at the edge until he levitated into the air. "This world... is my home. The home to all of my friends, my family, and the man that I love. As a formal god of this world." Levi aim his left hand as it glows with power. "I have a duty to protect all life in this beloved world I once created."

"Levi..." Alisa trailed off.

"Wait... are you planning..." Venti look surprised.

"Yes." Levi begins to cloak in a white aura and then spreads out a golden light that force everyone to govern their eyes.

In the Retributive Tower...

Error was repeated once more.

"Now what?!" Chaos Rean snarled.

Back outside...

The Light dims, revealing Levi's new appearance. Levi awakened his Sacred Light as his hair silver changed to white. His eyes open and turn to silver. But that wasn't the only thing that changed. His clothes change too. Levi wore a white robe with a hood. Levi wore long white pants with star-like decorations and his arms were depicted golden and silver, with vein-like markings traveling up his arm. Levi's hair was no longer in a ponytail as it let it flow.

"..." Rean stare in surprise as the light nearly outshines the darkness, causing the Heartless to be pushed back.

"Whooooooa." Millium stare in surprise.

"That form..." Furina stare in disbelief. "That was your..."

"Yes." Levi close his eyes. "Once I've regained my memories from Father... I remember this form. My true form." Levi look at his hand and then turn to the Retributive Tower. "My brothers and sisters. If you love this world as I do. Then please fight alongside me. This world is ours. And we won't allow anyone who dare destroy its future!"

"Levi..." Venti stare in surprise.

"But... you risk exposing yourself to the world." Zhongli said

"Heh. How is that different from other gods here in this world? But even so. I will do what I must." Levi turn to Zhongli with a warm smile. "Plus, I know you're planning on doing "that" anyway."

"Heh." Zhongli let out a proud smile as he lower his head and look up with his eyes glow. "You're right."

Zhongli, Ei, Mavuika, Furina, Nahida and Venti flew and stood next to Levi as they transformed into their true forms. For Venti, it was a cape and ropes, with two wings on his back and hair tied into two braids on either side of his head.

For Zhongli, It was his white robe with a hood and wearing long, wide pants. His hands are depicted orange, with vein-like markings traveling up his arm.

For Ei, It was also a purple kimono with long purple tights.

For Nahida, it was a white and green robe. And in her adult form. She wears a long green tights.

For Furina, it was her white dress with wing-like accessary on her legs. Her height changes to match Ei.

And Mavuika was a white robe with red lines and red tights.

"Are you all ready?" Levi asked as his siblings nodded. "Then let's do this." He aim his hand to the Retributive Tower and his siblings follow.

Each of them channel their respectful color of power and then Levi fired a beam of golden light toward the barrier and then Zhongli, Ei, Mavuika, Furina, Nahida and Venti amplifies his beam with their powers, increasing its power.

'For my home... for my friends... my family... and...' Levi thought as he vision all of his friends. Alisa, Elliot, Fie, Emma, Celine, Gaius, Jusis, Machias, Crow, Millium, Laura, Juna, Kurt, Musse, Ash, Venti, Altina, Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toadsworth, Bowser, Junior, Kamek, Shez, Kazuha, Mona, Aether, Roman, Neo, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Nora, Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, the Phantom Thieves, The Fighters of Smash Bros, Master Hand, Crazy Hand, the Pokemon, his Pokemon, Class VII Pokemon, the Liberl Team, SSS, all of the people he know and remember. And then a vision of Rean. 'For REAN!'

Levi increased the power of his beam as all of his feelings were put into it. Suddenly, a crack appeared in the barrier. It spread out until it shattered into glass and pierced a hole on the tower.

(BGM ended)

Inside the Retributive Tower...

The ground shook as Chaos Rean holding his ground as the siren repeated error.

"What...?" Chaos Rean stare at disbelief along with Dimentio. "No... IMPOSSIBLE!"

Back outside...

Everyone, including the Titans themselves, stare in disbelief after what just happened.

"We... we did it?" Venti stare in shock.

"But how..." Ei stare in disbelief.

Aion Ridley lung toward the Titans to attack out, undo their focus on the event in question.

"IMPOSTEEEEEEER!" A voice boomed as something slammed Aion Ridley, knocking it away.

(Super Smash Bros Brawl ost - Main Theme)

"Ridley?!" Samus yelled. "Why are you here?"

"What do you think, Samus? I am not here for any of you. But this replica who took my form as Meta Ridley!" Ridley pointed at Aion Ridley as he snarl. "I heard the six Anguis of the society has the audacity to create this thing without MY permission! When I find that man, I will drag him to ten hells over again until I allow him to die! Now you false imitation— you may have powers, but I have something you don't—experience! And I will crush you beneath my heel!"

Ridley flew and tackled Aion Ridley head on, knocking it away again and then Aion Ridley roared at Ridley and the two of them lung at each other, clashing their claws repeatedly as they pass by each other, firing laser beams from their mouth as the latter dodges their attacks. Aion Ridley summon a sword form of energy and lung at Ridley to slash him, but Ridley dodge and grabbed then neck and throw his Aion counterpart to the water and then fired a laser beam, causing an explosion. Aion Ridley burst out and tackled Ridley as he respond with a roar. Ridley push himself off the Aion and then they both claw and then head butted each other that push each other away before lunging at each other again.

"So Ridley was really pissed, huh?" Crow asked.

"Oh, he was. When I told him." Bowser smirked.

Flashback...

Ridley was drinking water in the villains louge until he got a text from his ARCUS Alpha and look.

Hey Ridley! Guess what? Ouroboros Six Anguis made of Aion Copy of you! - Bowser

Ridley spit out the water. "WHAT?!"

End of Flashback...

"I was wondering why I haven't seen him in awhile." Samus rub her chin until she spotted the Demon Tide launch their attack toward the Titans. "Look out!"

"Ugh... So I have to save you now?" A familiar voice responded as a wind blade strike the upcoming attack on the Titans and then multiple rays were fired on the Demon Tide, and even the Zauber Soldots were being destroyed by one strike.

"That voice..." Ei turn her head in surprise, revealing Scaramouche flying in the air. "Son!?"

"Scaramouche!" Levi exclaimed.

"Well, if it isn't the young master. Fancy seeing you here." Miko comment.

"Don't call me that." Scaramouche giving Miko a dirty look. "And don't call me Scaramouche either. That name was my code during my time with the Fatui."

"Then why are you helping us?" Nahida asked.

"I reconcile with my Mother after the Great Twilight. While I am still not happy with her, I will, however, lend you my aid. You managed to carve a path through the Chaos Heart's power because of its weakness."

"Weakness?" Ei look surprised. "The Chaos Heart has a weakness?!"

"Of course it does. Everything has a weakness hidden within the sea of knowledge."

"Wait, how would YOU know that?"

Scaramouche smirked. "Unlike you old hag, I've studied the Chaos Heart from Grandfather. However..." He turn to the Retritubive Tower and black energy manifests as the Retributive Tower begin to repair itself.

"Ah!" Sothis gasped as she threw her magic into it. "The tower is repairing itself! The mastermind behind the tower is using time to repair it! Everyone, I'll try to hold it off from repairing! You must hurry and defeat him!"

"Yes, you're right." Zhongli nodded. "Venti, Levi, we'll join you once we rid of the Heartless."

"But—"

"We can't waste any time! Go now!" Zhongli yelled.

"R-Right!" Levi nodded as he and Venti flew back to the others and change back to their regular appearance. "All right, everyone, let's do this!"

"Right!" Everyone yelled as Emma, Celine, Venti, Levi, Arval, Mona, Nine, Yen Sid, Roselia and Vita combined their magic against, transforming everyone into wisp and flew toward the tower.

However, Zoa Gilstein appeared from the portal and chanelling void energy.

"Oh shit!" Crow yelled until Giratina slammed into him, stopping the attack but he did fire a jet of void toward the group.

"Look out!" Lloyd yelled as the group were split into two as they infiltrated the tower.

Zoa Gilstein punch Giratina away and then turn to the tower, clenching its fist as it heard Dialga, and Palkia roar, turning to them as they unleashed Roar of Time, Spacial Rend at him. But Zoa Gilstein retreated to a portal and closed behind it.

"All right." Zhongli readied his pear and aim toward the Demon Tide. "Let's do this."

(BGM ended)

Unknown to all, Novartis, Sage and Eggman were watching the whole thing from the distance.

(Trails into Reverie ost - Zero Encounter)

"Haha!" Novartis laughed. "What a show! I wasn't expecting them to not only reveal a new set of white wings for the occasion but also reveal the power of the Titans. To think they were able to break through the Chaos Heart's power. A power that is completely immune to all. And with it, the void that can consume worlds and dimensions alike. I'm very curious of how the Titans were able to break through that barrier."

"Good question. But regardless, they're up against the superintelligent AI. Let us see if their enthusiasm and their hopes can defy the power of the Chaos Heart and Elysium all together. Who will win this fight? Will it be the forces of light? Or the forces of darkness?" Eggman wondered

"A good question, Father. But how come Dr. Watts isn't here to see this?" Sage asked

"Who knows. But if I were to wager a guest, I imagine that he want to collect data from his droids."

"My! Aren't you having a ball?" Vita said as she appeared before them.

"Oops. I wasn't expecting to be found." Novartis said

"Ah, it's been awhile, Vita Clotilde." Eggman greeted.

"Likewise, Eggman. I've heard you have a daughter now." Vita turning to Sage. "And my, doesn't she look lovely."

"Thank you for the compliment." Sage said.

"Now then professor." Vita turn to Novatris. "I assume you know why I am here?"

"To lecture me, aren't you? Well, can you blame me for any idea of how much data I've been able to gather? And still with plenty left to be divulged!" Novartis chuckled.

"Didn't Mewtwo erase some important details from what you learned from Elysium?"

"Oh... you heard about that."

Vita pinch her nose. "*sigh* I understand you've been indulging yourself quite a bit backstage..." She then glare at him. "But don't you think you've taken it a step too far this time?"

"Hah!" Novartis laughed. "The only difference between you and me is that you are having your fun with this conflict out in the open. Not to worry, however. I remain quite cognizant of my position as an Anguis. As I told Renne and Leonhardt: I've shared my technical knowhow, but the rest is out of my hands." He turn to the Retributive Tower. "My interest lies more in observing what he, as someone who is not of this "world" is capable of achieving. That is all."

Vita giving him a deadpan look. "I think you're vastly downplaying your role in this... So you'll be keeping mum about what you know? Not even a little hint on how all this come to be?"

"And the point of that would be...? You'll know soon enough."

"Fine." Vita fold her arms. "You know. Noel is not very happy with you right now." She smirked behind her fan. "By the time you return to the workshop, you better prepare for whatever punishment he has for you. Since you DID aid the man he despise so much."

Novartis sweatdrop. "D-Don't be ridiculous! I doubt Noel would plan to harm me, his mentor!"

"Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that. But knowing Noel. I'm sure he already has a worthy punishment for you. Not to mention the Intellectual would also like to have a word with you."

Novartis had an !? over his head. "Y-You can't be serious!"

"Oh, I'm not." Vita smirked "Those two are a formidable force when working together. And my kind of people. So you better brace yourself, professor. Because I can imagine what kind of punishment you'll get. And a proper spanking. And speaking off, I would also advise you to hide from Ridley. You heard what he said, did you not?"

Novartis lost his color. "Ahem! Then I better get on with my explanation. With that, I bid you farewell. I suggest you not dawdle in making your exit as well." He activated a teleportation circle and teleported away.

Vita sighed. "What an irksome little man he is..."

"Yes, it's quite understandable that he's quite despicable. Not that I'm the one to talk, given my plans for world domination and all the things I've done to achieve that goal." Eggman said. "It would make me a hypocrite."

"Hehe. I can't argue with you there, Doctor. So what are you going to do? Speaking off, did he told you to join the Thirteen Factories?"

"He did. But I have no interest in serving the society. Nor will I be under his supervision when I am the superior man of science to him. I didn't get my memory erase from Mewtwo and I've also got the data I've learned from Elysium. But..." Eggman turn to the Retributive Tower. "Given all that has happened in Starfall Island... and the re-occupation of Crossbell, Elysium, and "him". Along with Terumi... I know what to do after our heroes have trumped."

"Now I'm curious." Vita admits.

"Yes. But, just a heads up. If you feel like talking to someone more... approachable than Novartis, feel free to contact me, Abyss."

"Hehe. I'll take your word for it. So what are you going to do if you don't mind me asking."

"You'll find out once this is over. I'm sure there will be disagreement. But the world requires all the help it needs from the threats that will pose the entire universe." Eggman said.

Both Teams made it in safely. However, they were split up into large groups and in different locations.

Team B...

"Mama Mia..." Luigi groaned. "That was way too close..."

"*pant* I should have known he tried to stop us." Rean look around. "How're you guys holding up?"

"It was way to close for comfort..." Lucy groaned.

"But I think we're okay..." March 7th groaned. "Seriously, did that thing had to show up NOW of all times?"

"It must be desperate to stop us." Dan Heng said as Swin and Lapis got on their feet.

"Roar?" Ursaring look around and spotted Nadia and Swin. "Roar!"

"Ursaring!" Swin sigh of relief. "If you're here, then Na—" Swin then notice Nadia isn't among the group. "Wait, where's Nadia?!"

"R-Rufus isn't here, either!" Lapis exclaimed.

"Augh..." Neve got on his feet. "It seems we were split up."

"Tatata?" Magearna look around.

With Team A...

"I don't see S..." Nadia remark with unease.

"Cerr..." Ceruledge muttered

"What a disaster this is." Rufus muttered. "I'd rather we weren't separated from Lapis with how integral her role is in this. But if Neve is with her, then I would feel more relief."

"Damn it! That Knight blindsided us." Victor muttered.

"Yeah, it wasn't expected we would broke through the barrier somehow." Marnie said.

"Yeah... I'm not sure how me and my siblings managed to pull through it." Levi admit. "Still, with Elysium, we can't also can't deny might predicted this would happen and tried to blindsided us."

"We made it, through. Everyone did." KeA said. "The others are just somewhere else inside the tower.

With Team B...

"Wow! This place is massive then I thought." Larry said.

"I can sense not only fear and chaos, but the spirit of the dead, it's as though it's become one with the world of the dead." Aether muttered

"It certainly FEELS different from the underworld." Dark Pit fold his arms.

"And let's not forget the Archaisms, the Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed, and the rest of other abnormal foes lurking in this place of dread. Stay on high alert everyone." Alear advised.

"Elysium is here." Lapis spoked. "That means the central terminal has to be somewhere up above. But..."

'I'm an idiot! Just how could I lose her?' Swin thought. 'I said I'd protect her for you, Ace. That I'd never leave her!''

Back with Team A...

"If I don't have S with me, I... I..." Nadia shivered.

"Don't be scared." Lloyd said "Neve and the others are sure to be there with them, so your friends arne't alone."

"He's right, Nadia." Jingliu approached and place her hand on Lapis's shoulder. "Me, Rufus, everyone here will watch over and take care of you until we find them."

Back with Team B...

"I know how much both of you are worried about Rufus and Nadia right now. But you both and I know how both Nadia and Rufus are more than capable of protecting themselves. You should know that better than anyone Swin." Neve said with a smile. "You and Nadia have been together longer than any of us have. Even your Pokemon would agree."

"I... know she can, but..." Swin muttered until Ursaring place her hand on Swin's shoulder.

"Roar." Ursaring spoked.

"Ursaring?"

"She's saying to have faith in her." Florian translate. "And I agree."

"They must have already started moving." Rean smiled. "We can't be the ones to hold things up."

Back to Team A...

"So let's go." Lloyd smiled. "To give us and every single person in this world a future. So we can share our days with those we love."

"We'll pull through." Levi smiled. "As long as we're together in spirit, we always will!"

Back with Team B...

"Hmph..." Swin light chuckled then fist pump. "Then what are we waiting for? I won't let any harm come to Nadia. I swore it."

"Roar!" Ursaring fist pump.

"And I need Rufus and Nadia with me to better fulfill my duties." Lapis place her hand over her chest. "I need all of you."

"Papapa!" Magearna raised her arms and cheered.

Back with Team A...

"We couldn't quell this crisis without Lapis even if we wanted to." Rufus said. "May we combine all our strengths to see she is well."

"Rufus..." Jusis said in awe.

"We'll be leaning on you!" Lloyd smirked.

"Sounds like our course is clear." KeA smiled

"There's no telling what dangers lie in wait..." Rixia said.

"But there's no turning back now!" Kirito smirked

"I'm worried about not being there for Aether but... you're right." Paimon smiled.

"Same with our exceed partners. But with the others with them, they'll be just fine." Sting said.

"We have until 5PM to shut this tower down." Lloyd turn to the hallway

"We may come from across the continent, across different worlds and from all walks of life—but here we stand united for a single cause:" Rean said

"To move forward and get over this last barrier!" Rean and Lloyd said in unity in their end.

"Right!" Both sides nodded and they take off.

Both sides encounter many enemies, Gun Buster Type-A, Tri-Attacker SS, Dovon Ace, Tri-Attacker V2, El Cubiles, Cubiles, Zero Timelords, Pale Apache X, Zero Sorcerors, Zero Warriors, Invisible, Darkballs, Harpies, Ancient Doggers, High Soldiers, Large Armors, Vermillion Sambas, Sneak Gunner R-Os, Sneak Gunners G-0s, Sneak Gunner M-Os, Marine Rumbas, Gold Beats, Malachite Boleros, Dustfliers, Assault Riders, Bolt Towers, Destroyers, Duel Blades, Heat Sabers, Chill Rippers, Blitz Spears, Rock Trolls, Gun Buster Type-Bs, Gun Buster Type-Cs, Winterhorns, Parasol Beautys, Flowersnakes, Floods, Turtletoads, Dusks, Sorcerers, Snipers, Beserkers, Assassins, Dancers, Reapers, Ninjas and Samurais blocking their path.

They charge and comforted them in battle until they defeated them and keep going. They taken elevators and keep going.

"Wow, this area is more wide than the rest." Xion look around

"Hey, look!" Ventus pointed as they see the other team.

"Rean!" Levi wave to get their attention.

"S! LP! Neve! Ursaring! Magearna!" Nadia yelled

"Levi!" Rean yelled back.

"Llody!" Elie yelled

"KeA! You're okay!" Randy sigh of relief.

"Are you hurt, Nadia!?" Swin asked in cornened.

"Please say you're okay, Rufus!" Lapis hoped.

"S..." Nadia smiled. "No! I'm just fine!"

"Oh thank goodness you guys are okay!" Pit waved at them.

"Hold on. Me and Tilly might be able to handle this." Millum said.

"I'm sure with Claiomh Solais's help—"

"I fear it won't be that simple." Rufus interrupt Altina as a barrier appeared.

"This barrier!" Tails exclaimed.

"It's from the Chaos Heart—just like before." Venti muttered. "Maybe we should break through like before."

"Okay, I'll—" Levi readied his hand until an ominous feeling wash over the group. "W-What was that?"

"AAAH! LOOK!" Paimon yelled as she pointed as Team B see on their end as the Void was coming in.

"The hell!?" Ragna exclaimed.

"That's the thing we saw in the sky!" Wazy exclaimed.

"It's the void! That will consume everyone!" Levi exclaimed.

"Look, over there!" Aether pointed as they see the Void on their end too. "The enemy is trying to kill us!"

"Damn it, we can't afford to stay here and talk! That thing is coming!" Estelle exclaimed

"We have to run, everyone! We have to find a way to reunite and fast!" Aqua stated.

"Right! Let's make our way to the tower at a moment haste!" Dan Heng stated

"Right! Let's go!" Stelle exclaimed.

"Swin, Lapis. I'm sure we'll meet again. Neve. Watch over them." Rufus request.

"No need to tell me that." Neve replied as both teams take off. "Tch... So much for a reunion. But we can't afford to waste here is that thing is following us."

"Yeah. But at least we know no one is hurt." Swin muttered.

"Yeah. I'd say being able to confirm that alone is incredible progress in itself." Rean nodded. "Let's keep moving forward and escape the void."

"Yeah. We don't have a moment to waste." Swin agreed.

They keep going further and further up until they reach the view of the battle where they see multiple explosions and Flying Heartless and the Demon Tide. Rays of energy was also launch.

"Everyone, look." Welts said "We can see outside from here."

"The battle is still going." Himeko said "But it is getting worse."

"But we can't afford to waste any time." Albedo said. "We can't keep the other Team waiting while also running from the void."

"Yeah." Swin said as they keep going. 'I'll be there soon, Nadia!'

With Team A...

"Try not to worry so much." Lloyd said to Nadia. "You'll be with him again soon. There might've been a barrier between us, but we saw him, didn't we?"

"How can you have so much faith things will work out when there's no evidence that it will?" Nadia asked. "Not to mention that void is going to eat us and it's quickly coming toward us with each second."

"Because we've been in situations like these plenties of times before, I guess. Even if the odds are stacked against you, as long as you refuse to give up, the light of hope will never stop shining. That's how we handled the Azure Tree and the Great Twilight."

"The same can be said with Organization XIII, and the times before that." Corrin smiled.

"Right." Lucina nodded with a smile. "Hope and teamwork can come a long way. I know because I came from a future where it was led to ruin. My hope along with my friends is what motivates us for a better tomorrow. Everyone here feels that way."

"That same idealism and tenacity put an end to my ambitions during the Twilight, too." Rufus chin is as Nadia has a moment of thought as she and Swin had the same thing in their end.

'Now that I think it, S and I...' Nadia thought.

"I hope everyone's doing okay. I'm so worried. Fran... Dudley... the chief... the list goes on." KeA trailed off.

"So many lives are riding on this mission, but we'll end it right here. Right now." Lloyd declared. "And not a damn thing'll stop us! Right?"

"Right!" Everyone replied as they kept going further and further until they found a door but is sealed.

"What? A dead end?" Waluigi asked. "Grrr now what?"

Urbosa look and notice a terminal "There's a terminal over there—"

Mipha look up and gasped with an ! over her head. "Above us!"

Then everyone was pin to the ground.

"Augh!" Ayaka winched.

"G-Gravity?!" Ayato grunted.

"We're being pinned down! Wait... don't tell me this is just like the Emperor's Artifact!" Kevin grumbled.

"They copied his artifacts, too!?" Lloyd muttered

Then Zero Warriors, Sorcerors and Chill Rippers appeared before them and the void was coming closer.

"Damn it! Not now!" Noel growled

"If we don't do something, we'll all be...!" Alhaitham grimaced until Team B arrived at the scene.

"Oh shit! Look!" Shez exclaimed.

"Rufus!" Lapis exclaimed

"Roar!" Ursaring exclaimed

"Is that's the Emperor's...!? Nadia!" Swin yelled

Lapis look around and see the device. "That device there!"

The group turn and see the device, but Zero Warriors, Timelords, and Sorcerors appeared.

"Son of a—!" Neve growled.

"You ready?" Rean turn to Swin.

"...! Y-Yeah!" Swin nodded

"Bind!" Neve cast his magic to bind the Zero series as Rean used Arcane Gale to destroy the Zero Series and then Swin rushed in and slashed the device, destroying it and shot down the gravity.

As Nadia gasped.

"Get down!" Rufus yelled as they duck and Lloyd used Zero Breaker X to destroy the Zero series and the Heartless. "Phew."

"Hey, are you guys okay down there?!" Makoto Yuki yelled

"Thanks to you, yeah!" Lloyd smiled

"Thank goodness... You had me worried, Nadia!" Swin sigh of relief.

"Heehee. You're my hero, S— and you, too, LP, Neve." Nadia cheered

"Ceer!" Ceruledge raised his sword hand.

"I swear..." Swin sigh of relief.

"Fortune smiles upon us that we found them in time." Neve smiled

"Okay, there!" Xiao activated the switch and then unlock the doors. "The doors are open now."

"Now we can keep going." Eula said

"We'll reunite soon, Rufus! Nadia! Ceruledge!" Lapis shout.

"Gall!" Gallade nodded in respond.

"So long as you keep up with them and don't get lost, avoid the void we will." Rufus said

"I won't get lost!" Lapis complained

"Save it for later! The void is coming in!" Neve reminded as the void enter the room."

"Rean! See you in a bit!" Levi waved at him

"Yeah! You, too." Rean said and Team A run off and so did Team B. "I'm glad we were able to protect her. I can tell she's important to you. Just like with Levi to me."

"Yeah... She's like a little sister to me." Swin smiled

"Little sister, hm?" Neve asked with a hint of teased. "I think it's more than that."

"K-Knock it off, Neve. Since when do you tease?" Swin muttered. "But... thank you for helping me."

"Heh." Neve smirked as they keep going further.

With Team A...

"All right! We're almost there. Let's do this!" Nadia smirked

"Yeah!" KeA cheered

"Jigglepuff!" Jigglypuff agreed

'Good. She seems to have gotten her spirit back. But still...' Lloyd turn to Rufus.

"Something amiss?" Rufus asked

"Oh, no. I was just a bit taken aback by how much the others trust you."

"I see." Rufus let out a small smile. "I did what I ended in order to achieve my goals. Nothing more. Nothing less. And that will do for that conversation as we keep running without being eaten by the void."

Jusis sighed "Oh, Rufus."

"Hmm..." Millium, Claire, Florian and Mitsuru hummed as Claire and Noel just stare.

"Hearing that doesn't shock me." Nadia struggled. "I imagine Neve would smack him in the back of the head for not being honest. But him using anything and everything to get what he wants is just how he does things."

"Maybe before, but I don't think it's so simple this time." KeA said.

"Same here." Lloyd agreed.

"Anyway, let's keep going! S and Ursaring is waiting for me and we don't want to be lunch for the void!" Nadia cheered

They keep going and going further up until they reach the elevator where they reunite in opposite sides.

"Oh heeeey!" Ruby waved at the group.

"You guys made it!" Yang cheered

"Rufus! I'm so glad you're all right!" Lapis cheered

"Heh. And the same to you." Rufus replied with a smile until the barrier appeared.

"Augh! ANOTHER barrier? Do you see anything on your side that could get it down?" Swin asked

Nadia look around and see the terminal of the elevator. "Hmm... Maybe that little computer thing there?"

"Could it be an elevator like we use so far?" Weiss wondered

"This might take us right up to the central terminal." Blake said.

"We have one over here, too! I think both sides need to activate them for the platforms at the same time." Lapis replied.

"So we're finally near the end." Bayonetta said.

"However... given that how much we've gone through to get here..." Makoto Nijiima rub her chin

"Yeah, I don't think they'll be letting us go further up that easily." Morgana agreed.

"Should we still try it?" Haru asked

"If it's our way forward, it's our way forward." Rean replied.

"KeA, and Lapis, too. Care to do the honors?" Lloyd asked

"Okay!" KeA nodded with a smile.

"Certainly!" Lapis nodded as everyone hop on the elevator and then turn on the terminal that takes them up.

Things were looking well so far... however.

"Wait, I can sense something coming!" Amia yelled.

"It seems we got company." Diamant said.

"All right, it's battle time!" Timerra yelled as came crashing down were four atomotons and giant monsters.

(BGM paused)

(Trails into Reverie ost - Heavy Violent Match)

"What in the world are these!?" Hortensia yelled.

"We've seen these things back at the Reverie Corridor!" Lyn replied.

"As expected that this ride would be a peaceful one." Ivy said.

"But these are all that stand between us and the central terminal!" Lapis said.

"Then our goal is simple." Snake said.

"That's right: we must destroy them!" Céline readied her Levin sword.

"These here're our last steps before the end. Counting on you guys!' Lloyd yelled

"Right!" Everyone yelled.

Blockade to the Elevator - Cubelion Telos and Melphegor Nix

Due to the large numbers, the Keyblade wielders airstep and they both aerial combat assault it while the Magic users throw multiple magic attacks, others use Orbal Arts: Lost Genesis to deal a powerful blow. Cubelion Talos fired mulplt laser rays but they were reflected back by Mirror Magic from Emma, then the Melee fighters lung and each one deal slashes each until Diluc jump into the air and then swing down and hit the Archaism hard while Hakumen unleash a powerful slash on the Entity in the cube.

Bowsers throw Fireballs, Luigi summon a thundercloud from Thuderhand and rain down thunder, literally and Mario rain down a balls of fire while Peach fired multiple pink rays and Daisy throw kick projections. Venti unleash multiple Homing Shots, Altina fired cannons and shortly after everyone played their part, the obstacles in their path were destroyed.

(BGM ended)

(Resuming Reverse Babel)

With the obstacle destroyed, everyone taken a breather in the elevator until they reach the top.

"Finally, we're here." Penny said as they all walk toward the path and Nadia ran to Swin and hug him with Ursaring and Ceruledge running to their trainers.

"Rufus!" Lapis also ran and hug Rufus as Neve approached the group with Magearna.

"S!" Nadia cheered

"E-Easy!" Swin exclaimed.

"I can't do easy... I thought I'd never see you again."

"How could you, Rufus?! I never said you could leave me!" Lapis complained.

Rufus chuckled. "I'm sure you realize that I didn't have the luxury of choice."

"I swear you too." Neve chuckled. "It's good that we're back together."

Arven sighed. "But man, that was a long way forward..."

"It wasn't easy given the obstacles in our path." Nemona sighed

"No kidding." Marnie sighed

"Maybe it wasn't easy, but that just proves how far we've come." Lloyd smiled. "Looks like they were the last line of defense, too." Lloyd turn to the door.

"Then the door in front of us must be..." Roy Koopa paused.

"Yes. That may be where the central terminal is." Ludwig said.

"Mana is flowing with incredible force from within." Gaius said.

"Yeah. It's amazing how much we can feel it with those doors taking in the brunt." Kevin agreed.

"What's the verdict, LP?" Nadia asked.

"This is it." Lapis replied. "Elysium is on the other side."

"Then there can be no doubt." Rean said. "I'm sure that other me is waiting for us ont he other side of that door. I feel like if I let my guard down for even a moment, that'll be the end of me."

"So this here's really our final stop." Crow said.

"All the answers we've been seeking are just a few steps away." Elie said.

"So let's bust those doors open and get 'em." Randy palm fist.

"And stop the divine lightning from firing!"

'Hmm... if my thinking is right...' Lloyd thought

"What's wrong, Lloyd?" Aoi asked

"Hmm... I was thinking if that really was the last line of defence." Lloyd replied.

"It wasn't?" Elie asked.

"Did you all forget?" Neve fold his arms. "We haven't seen that jester, or the other two. Including Terumi."

"Ah, shit. You're right." Ragna muttered.

"Then..." Kurt turn to the door.

"So... we may encounter that jester and the others beyond that door then." Kevin narrow his eyes.

"Yes." Lloyd nodded. "And beyond them... is likely going to be our final battle."

"So..." Rean readied his tachi. "Is everyone ready?"

Everyone look at each other and then nodded their heads.

"Then let's go." Rean said as they approached the doors.

The final battle is upon us! Wasn't Levi epic there along with his Archon siblings? It was a lot of heavy moments of thinking but... what can you do.
