To Guest: For your question for what I'm cooking for Chaos Rean when we reach the final act. Let's just say things will not go his way in the end.
To Guest: To answer your question about Van, Elysium revealed its calculation in the future and informed Chaos Rean. So Chaos Rean plans to make a note of this. You'll find out once we reach further into the story.
And with that, let's begin the story!
"All right, before we head out to search for the generators... Take some of the new Emblem Rings with you." Alear said. "Each team will carry them we look for the generators. Since there are eleven, we'll have to split them for one or two teams get 4 rings, while the rest get 3. We got Mario, Yu, Joker, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Kirito, Eugeo, Ragna, Hakumen and Jin. So who should have them?"
"I'll take Sora, Jin, Hakumen and Joker's ring with me." Lloyd said
"Okay, then who will the rest have?" Amia asked
"Mario, Kairi and Ragna's Ring will be me." Rean said
"Then it seems we'll have the other four." Rufus said. "Riku, Kirito, Eugeo and Yu."
"Guess we'll have the remaining Emblems. But are you sure that someone like me should have the honor of wearing these holy spirits from another world?" Rufus asked
"Well, we are allies. So everyone deserves their fair share." Lloyd said.
"Very well. I wonder which Ring I should wear..."
Flashback ended...
(Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story ost - The Road Leading to the Secret)
"All right, listen up." Bowser said as with him were Lloyd, Bede, Hops, Nahida, Winter, Junior, Kamek, Ludwig, Wendy, Larry, Roy, Morton, Iggy, Lemmy, Roman, Neo, and Owain. "Listen up troops! We've got some trash who has infiltrated my kingdom! And are here to rid them out!" He begin walking around.
"Not only these scumbags attack the Mushroom Kingdom which is MY thing..." He turn to them with a pissed-off look "MY THING!"
"Yipe!" Hop flinched.
Bowser resume walking around. "And now one of that bastard's generators is here in my kingdom territory! Without MY PERMISSION! And no one gets away with pulling something behind my back or my kingdom! Those Co-supreme leaders are going to PAY!"
Bowser pull out a piece of paper and a pen
"Things I Hate" list
1. Mario Bros and Class VII
2. Twilight Ganondorf
3. Being Possessed
who bullies Junior
5. Anyone who threatens my Kingdom
6. The Shroobs was crossed out with the downfall of Princess Shroob and Elder Princess Shroob
Bowser then write down Number 7 and 8 on the list.
7. The Co-Supreme Leaders of Crossbell: Fake Xehanort and Rufus Albarea
8. The Administrator of Elysium. Identity yet to be revealed.
"Umm, what are you writing?" Lloyd asked
"His things he hate list." Kamek said as Bowser putting the paper away.
"So uh... Bowser?" Hop raising his arm. "So why are we doing this outside when we can go inside and use the air conditioner?"
"Oh quit being a baby troops!"
"But I'm not even part of the army!"
"Well get used to the heat!"
Winter groaned. "I know I'm here to help with the situation with Elysium but why did I even agree to assist King Bowser..."
"Phew... man, this is not what I'm even used too..." Nahida whipping her forehead. "Maybe I should have gone to help Rean's group..."
"Do I hear a quitter?" Bowser approached and stare at Nahida.
"Huh? Oh! No sir!"
"Thought not." Bowser pull himself away. "Now then troops. Most of the group has split up to different parts of the Kingdom. Our group which is led by yours truly will be heading toward Dry Bones Dunes."
"Dry Bone Dunes?" Bede asked. "Isn't that one of the race courses back in Mario Kart?"
"The very same. The reason why it's only its us because Ludwig who tested the device on the barrier and spread out on my Kingdom and reported back and explain that the radar responded in Dry Bone Dunes. That is why we'll be the first to rid of the barrier."
"Oh that's great. The quicker we find this barrier the better can relax." Bede said
"However, I doubt it will be that easy my bushy friend." Roman swirl his finger with his cane. "A barrier that is important is always crawling with guards. I should know from experience and as a mastermind myself." he tap on the ground. "A barrier of that great importance must be heavily guarded."
"We also can't deny the possibility whoever is guarding may either already predicted our scouts reporting back or it was they already predicted and prepare a defense tragedy." Kamek replied. "So we're going to have to find this location of theirs."
"Speaking off, how far is Dry Bone Dunes?" Lloyd asked.
"It's located eight hours on foot from here." Iggy answered
"That long?!" Hop exclaimed. "Isn't there a faster way we can use?"
"We would use one of our airships to teleport us there, but I advise against it." Kamek said. "The enemy may have something prepared against us if we use them. So we'll have to take our Karts or Bikes."
"{Or one of the horses our human soldiers use.}" Neo sign. "{It will take 3 to three hours from here. So long as you're careful.}"
"Well, at least we can use transportation." Winter sighed.
"Which is why I already prepare them!" Iggy laughed as he ran up to his Kart and hop on. "It's much easier when you got style transformation! Bwahaha!"
"Then guess we'll take some Orbal Bikes to ride on." Bede struggled. "You know how to ride one, right Hop?"
"O-Of course I do!" Hop pull out his ARCUS Alpha tap few buttons and then his orbal Bike appeared. "See?"
"I had to admit, this new mechanism." Winter said as she brought out her Orbal Brike.
"While you all can ride your Karts and Bikes." Owain approached a brown Horse and climb up. "I, Odin Dark, shall ride on my steed! My partner as we rider the kingdom in this dark and gloomy land, filled with mysterious, hot and danger! On a quest to search for—"
"Enough with the theateratic already!" Bowser yelled.
"Oh come on! I was getting to the good part!" Owain complained, causing everyone to sweatdrop.
"So, Lloyd, what are you gonna choose?" Junior asked.
"Well I know how to ride Arcanine and I have experience driving a kart and got my license. But how about an Orbal Bike?"
"In that case, you can borrow my spare." Roy Koopa said. "BUT!" He pointed at Lloyd. "If you break it, you're paying for it!"
"Y-Yes, sir!" Lloyd raising his hands.
"You know, how to ride an Orbal Bike, right?"
"Well, it's my first time."
Roy Koopa rub his chin. "You know for a policeman, I'm surprised you haven't learned to ride an Orbal Bike yet, yet you know how to drive a car and ride a horse."
"Actually I've ridden Arc—"
"Same difference. Either way, the last thing we want if for you to end up getting into an accident, so we'll start with the basics until you get the hang of it. So this will take awhile."
"All right, then let's go with the basics and I can practice."
"While they're doing that, Your Nastiness, perhaps we should check in Alvarton Town." Kamek suggest
"Why would do need to check on Alvarton Town?" Wendy Koopa asked.
"For information that they may have noticed something we don't know yet, just in case. After all, something else caught my attention about the town. It would be wise if we check it out."
"Fine. Roy, you train Lloyd while the rest of us will visit Alvarton."
"Got it, boss!" Roy nodded and picked up Lloyd. "All right, you! Come with me!"
"Wh-Whoa! Hey!" Lloyd wagging his arms as Roy enters the castle and the door closes behind him while the rest head to Alvarton.
"All right, let's rolled." Bowser said as they toward Alvarton Town.
(BGM paused)
To Alvarton Town...
(Paper Mario ost - Koopa Village)
"All right here we are." Bowser said as they see the Town is lively as Koopas, Humans, Shy Guys, Molty Moles, Boos, and Hammer Bros interacting with each other. "All right, Kamek, hurry up and ask them."
"As you wish, your Eviliness! But we must do it discreetly, we don't know if they might be here, listening in." Kamek said as he begin to walk away.
"Well, while he does that, I'm gonna do some shopping." Wendy said a she walk away.
With Kamek...
"Excuse me." Kamek approaching Molty Moles.
"Hm, Oh hello Kamek! Need something?" A Molty Mole asked
"Yes, by any chance, have you notice anything unusual in the underground lately?" "
"The underground? Hmm..." The Molty Mole rub his chin. "No. Can't say that I do."
"Thought so. But how about Dry Bones Dunes?"
"I haven't been there myself, but I imagine Doring might know. He's usually at that place."
"I see, thank you for that. Oh, and... keep this between us." Kamek said as he takes off. 'Doring... Yes, he's the mole who likes to search for treasure. I wonder if he found anything..."
Later...
"All right, Your Nastiness I'm— Wait, where is everyone else?" Kamek asked.
"Take a hint." Bowser turn to his right.
"That's right!" Owain hold his hand by the wrist to his face. "My sword: Missiletainn possesses great power that only I, Owain Dark can wield. Its power is far too great beyond what mortals can comprehend. This sword along with my sword hand—twitching for battle! But my sword hand cannot be controlled! As now— it—"
"Yeaaah. I'm gonna go now..." A human said as he takes off.
"Hey, wait come back! I wasn't finished!"
Kamek sweatdrop. "I can never understand why Owain enjoyed his... whatever that was."
"Now can I or why he's Morgan's older brother. Anyway, what did you find out?"
"Well, there were some interesting characters who been visiting Alvarton. They were humans, but one of the scouts informed me something was off with them. They were behaving normally until they had a secret meeting outside of scout try to listen in but the humans they ended up whispering too close. But they haven't been seen in awhile before the occupation happened. Lately. Something strange is going on in Dry Bone Dunes. But no one knows for certain. But there were some traces of human activities."
"Hmm... It must be them. Is that all, Kamek?" Bowser asked
"That's all."
"About time." Bowser pull out his ARCUS Alpha and sent a text to regroup.
Shortly after they all regroup.
"All right, you all had your fun. Now let's roll and get on with it."
"But shouldn't we see that Lloyd knows how to ride his Bike?" Hop asked
"He should be done by now." Larry said until he heard a motorcycle as he turn. "Oh, speak of the devil." He said as they see Lloyd riding an Orbal Bike next to Roy's bike.
"Oh. Glad you guys are still here." Lloyd said.
"{Hey, Lloyd. You got a hand of riding an Orbal Bike?}" Neo asked.
"Yep. I'm all good now."
"All right, come on, let's get a move on." Bowser said as they hop to their chosen vehicle and take off.
(BGM ended)
(Resuming The Road Leading to the Secret)
"All right, I can see why Noel enjoy riding her Orbal Bike. This is awesome!" Lloyd smiled.
"So are you planning on getting one for yourself, Lloyd?" Hop asked.
"After the fun I had, of course. It can also come in handy." Lloyd replied. "So this is the Dark Lands, right? It certainly has some... gloomy atmosphere. No offense, Your Majesty. So how does everyone in your kingdom live here if the land is filled with dead trees, gloomy atmosphere and lava?"
"We Koopas have lava tolerance. The more we bath in lava, the more we're immune to it. As for our own style of living, we live like no ordinary others, we build our groups through the same as everyone else. This is how it been." Bowser replied.
"Huh. I see..." Lloyd mused. "By the way, by chance the road may be rocky?"
"No. We know this Kingdom inside and out. So this road isn't rocky. But it has Zemurian Monsters living in the area so we had the soldiers routed them." Ludwig answered.
"Ha! They're nothing but smallfies compared to me and my army!" Bowser smirked.
"But still, why would the EDF place the generator in Dry Bone Dunes of all places?" Roman wondered.
"If you ask me, sounds like a strategist hideout. Of course, I never been into that area before." Winter admit.
"Well Dry Bone Dunes is like regular deserts so we should be fine. But there may be a sandstorm of desert within the area. Or even monsters in the desert. Or maybe even the EDF has something to help hide their hideout." Lugwig said
"Lucky for us, my device is more than capable of detecting it. Maybe we'll out more of their plans. Whatever dark plans they have for our Kingdom." Kamek said.
"Hmm... But what could their plan be?" Iggy wondered.
"Oh, it's gonna be a circus!" Lemmy said
"Okay are you saying that out of metaphorically or physically?" Bede asked
"Both!"
"Okay, that's just stupid for the physical part."
"You know what else is stupid, that your hair reminds of a bush I peed." Lemmy replied
"Augh! Gross!" Wendy Koopa grimaced. "Why the hell did you say it?"
"To annoy him."
Bede had a cross on his forehead. "Well, you annoy me now!"
"MORTON THINK THIS IS FUNNY!" Morton said.
"Not to me, Morton!"
"Ladies, ladies, you can punch each other after you make a contest to see who be the nastiest." Larry said
"What kind of contest is that?!"
"Will you please be quiet!" Winter yelled.
"Said the one who's already yellng." Roman shot back.
"Roman I swear to god...!"
{Hah. It's been awhile since we messed with Ironwood's group.}" Neo smirked.
They explore much of the Dark Lands as they pass some dead trees where a couple of crows, Murkrows minding their own business, Trevenants minding its own business, a couple of Devil Flowers having a battle against the Trevenants.
Then a Couple of Heartless appeared: Powerwilds, Large Bodies and Wizards.
"Out of my way you Heartless freaks!" Bowser press a button on his car and pull out a laser canon and fired a beam of laser to destroy them and they keep moving.
"Since when did you get a laser canon!?" Owain asked.
"Had this baby build, bwahaha! So the next time I'll have a battle with Mario with a car battle, we'll do that!"
"Yeah! And we'll be the one who has the last laugh!" Junior smirked.
"HALT!" A voice yelled as Orbal Arts were thrown toward Bowser's group.
(BGM ended)
"Incoming!" Kamek yelled as they all split up and halted their cars to dodged the Orbal Arts.
"Who dares!" Bowser yelled as large numbers of EDF came out of hiding."
(Trails of Cold Steel ost - Constraint)
"Oh, look who came out of hiding." Roy Koopa crack his knuckles. "If it isn't the Ebon Losers."
"That's Ebon Defense Force you Koopa pest!" An EDF growled.
"Heh. The co-supreme leaders was right that you could come here." The other smirked
"Did he now?" Roman asked. "I guess it would be predictable... if he knows where we are going and what we were going to do."
"As well as confirming that are in the right track." Winter added. "And you fools gave your positions away. Didn't your dictator of a leader teach you anything about preventing your foes from reaching their destination in the shadows?"
"Silence woman! Don't you dare insult our co-supreme leaders' wisdom!" The EDF glared.
Winter pull out her sword and pointed at the EDF soldier. "You better choose your words more carefully, soldier. I will not hesitate to take it as a child for a sexist comment."
"Yeah you tell him girl!" Wendy smirked as Neo nodded in agreement.
"Don't get cocky with us, Ironwoods's dog." The EDF glared
"Their Grace sent their regards, especially you, King Bowser." The Rifle readied his rifle. "You are one of the people who killed our chancellor! He who would lead Erebonia to a great pride! But all of that was taken away because you, the Mario Bros, Class VII... all of your allies killed him and ruined everything of our pride! You will not get away from our vengeance and to avenge him!"
Bowser smirked. "So that's your reason huh? Bwahahaha!"
"Did we say something funny you lizard breath?!"
"Oh, I couldn't help but laugh how pathetic you are. Especially your "co-supreme leaders"."Bowser taught as the EDF had an !? over their heads. "Your Blood and Iron Chancellor was no match for the King of Awesomeness! He was a worthy opponent, but you soldiers aren't even worth my time, not even my soldiers are worth dealing with losers like yourselves. Your petty occupation of Crossbell was just how pathetic you are. And now doing the same thing a month later. I don't know what sad. Seeing smallfries like you, or your Co-supreme leaders who's too much of a coward to show up themselves."
"How... Dare you!" The EDF giving Bowser a pissed-off look.
"No one insults our pride! OR the co-supreme leader!"
"Don't you dare talk to us about pride." Lloyd muttered as he hopped off the Orbal Bike.
"Lloyd Bannings." The EDF glared.
"You talk of pride. But you have none. A pack of stray dogs fighting for scraps has more pride. Hypocrites. That's all you are!" Lloyd buttled. "Cowardly, short sighted, and even blind to the truth!"
"Grrrr!"
"Hah. I couldn't say it better myself." Winter smirked
"This is exactly why we hate you, Lloyd Bannings!" An EDF yelled. "Who are you to lecture US about pride?!"
"You Crosbellans are all about your stupid pride! But you're all weak! And that same "pride" is what got you killed by OUR Co-supreme leader's sword!" One of the EDF shot back.
"Grrr..." Lloyd glaring.
"You Crosbellan should have learned your place! That you're weak! Crossbellan will always be weak!"
"But with the co-supreme leaders guiding hands, we'll show you how Crossbell will pride will become! A true strength of pride! And we will NEVER let the likes of you! The SSS, the CGF and your Police force will never take Crossbell back! You will all be exterminated!"
Bowser raise his hand to stop Lloyd from speaking. "Don't waste your breath, Lloyd. These soldiers are nothing but weak who refuse to accept reality and are not the true sons of Erebonia. Just children who throw a tantrum."
"Your Majesty." Lloyd trailed off.
"You dare claim we're not TRUE Erebonians?! You will die Koopa King!" The EDF readied his sword along with a couple of Great Tusks, Scream Tails, Brute Bonnet, Flutter Manes, Slither Wings, Iron Hands, Iron Bundles, Iron Moths and Iron Valiant.
"Oh really? Bowser asked before he made a small chuckle. "And how are you going to do that? By charging straight ahead? Did you forget about the time I launched Peach's castle into space? And let's not forget my Fury form I could crush like bugs if I have to with that form."
"S-So what?!"
"But all of that will be wasted. I'll repeat myself. You. Are not worth my time. And news flash: you're nothing but pawns to your so-supreme leaders. And so are they. So scram to your fake leaders and let them know we're coming for them next."
"Grrrr! How dare you!" An EDF shaken with rage.
"Did you seriously have to piss them off?" Bede grumbled as he and the others got ready to battle.
"MORTON AGREED WITH LORD BOWSER." Moron brought out his New Hammer.
(BGM ended)
"MORTON WILL CRUSH EBON DEFENSE FORCE!"
"They're not worth our time. Morton, Roy, Wendy. Make this quick." Bowser command.
"Eerr... are you sure about that, Lord Bowser?" Wendy asked.
"Come on, Wendy, these guys aren't even that tough. They got those Paradox Pokemon sure, but they're nothing compared to us."
(Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story ost - SHOWTIME!)
"WE FACE MARIO BROS. THEY'RE STRONGER THAN SOME ARMY." Morton said.
"Plus, Lord Bowser has faith in us that we can crush them with ease, no matter how big they are. We've train and battle stronger foes then them. Let's show them that we are our own army." Roy smirked as he bought out his Bullet Cannon.
"Well, I suppose so." Wendy pull out her wand. "Besides, I'm been upgrading my A-Game with my magic and skills. So let's see if those Pokemon are as tough as they look."
"Three against sixty?" An EDF soldier asked. "You must be out of your minds."
"But the bright side, we'll show you Koopa trash that you cannot outmatch us EDF!"
"We'll see about that." Roy smirked as he, Morton and Wendy form three-way combat links.
"MORTON SMASH!" Morton jump high and then swing his hammer down as it created large spikes toward the EDF.
"What the?!"
"Dodge it!" The EDF yelled as they moved out of the way from the earth spikes as Wendy threw multiple rings that enlarged and threw a barricade of magic attacks onto the Paradox Pokemon while Roy firing Bullet Bills toward them.
Seventh Swordman EDF used their swords as shield to block the explosion, while the EDF riflemen began firing and the Scream Tails throw Boomburst. Wendy throw rings to open a large wormhole to launch them back to the Paradox Pokemon. Morton spin rapidly to form a fiery tornado, created three of them and swung his hammer to launch them. Some of the EDF swordsman dodge and lung toward them and each one swing at Morton, but he block and parried them all and then knock them away with a swing as Roy jump into the air and then firing bullet bills at the EDF Rifles.
The EDF rifles roll out of the way as Wendy throw Ixion Vortez at them as the other EDF throw Orbal Arts at them. Morton, Roy and Wendy dodge them as the Great Tush charge toward them for Close Combat. Morton and Roy Ground Stomp to stun them and Wendy throw homing shots, hitting a couple of EDF and Paradox Pokemon as the Flutter Manes used Shadow Ball and Moon Blast while Iron Moths clapped their wings for Hurricane.
Roy made his Bullet Bill Cannon Disappeared and then stump his feet to pull a Pillar from the ground, grabbed and then throw and knock a couple of Iron Moths away while Morton swing fierce to knock a couple of EDF away while the EDF rifles shoot at him. Moron curl into his shell and spin rapidly to deflect the bullets, lung toward and then hop out and kick one EDF away and then swing his hammer and knock a couple away.
Iron Hands lung toward Morton to throw a Thunder Punch, only for him to Ground Pound to Stun them while Roy Shoulder Bash one, then grabbed the other and spin rapidly and use one as a bat to knock the other away and then Wendy throwing Homing Shots toward the EDF, causing explosions.
"Get her! She's along!" Four of the EDF swordsmen charge to slash Wendy, but she sighed and then jump over, and then stomp on his face to the ground, then throw her rings as a Boomerang and hitting each one.
One swung at Wendy but she blocked calmly with her wand, then High kick, then kick his stomach while the other two ran to slash him, but Wendy backflip and bombade them with coins. Slither Wings ran toward Wendy to shoulder bash her and the other two attacked her with their fist, but Wendy spin around with rings rotated around her to push them off as Morton swing and knock them way as the EDF rifles shoot toward them while Iron Treads throw Earthquake toward them.
The three Hoopalings were launch into the air but they recovered as Wendy raise her wand to charge a large energy into a sphere and toss it toward the EDF and their Paradox Pokemon. The EDF and their Pokemon dodged as Roy and Morton landed on their feet. Morton lung toward to swing a couple of EDF while Roy firing Bullet bills and Wendy throw Seventh Caliber at them. The EDF form a formation as the Rifle Men firing bullets while the EDF swordsman throw Orbal Arts. Great Tusks, Iron Threads throw Earthquake and Brute Bonnet fired Solar Beam.
The Koopalings dodged it as Wendy summon a large ring that open a portal to absorb and summon another one above and firing toward the EDF formation, dealing a large destruction.
Morton jump high and then dive and swing his fiery hammer to cause a fiery shockwave to blow away the EDF and Paradox Pokemon while Roy aim and firing multiple Bullet Bills at and exploded on the EDF and Paradox Pokemon while Wendy finish it off by throwing Seventh Caliber, causing multiple explosion as the EDF screamed in agony with their Pokemon.
(BGM ended)
(Resuming The Road Leading to the Secret)
As most of the EDF were knock out completely along with their Paradox Pokemon, two of them remain conscious as they slowly rose up.
"How..." One EDF groaned. "How... can 60 strong... be defeated by three?!"
"It should not be possible... It's ridiculous! Absurd! We were three times larger and stronger!"
"And yet you losers lost." Wendy made her wand disappeared. "Who do you think you're talking to?"
"You hardly made us sweat. We are the elite of Lord Bowser's Army. We have true battle experience then you clogs." Roy smirked.
"EDF WEAK. MORTON STRONGER." Morton said. "MORTON BATTLES ARMIES BEFORE."
"We lead armies through experience and strength and skill. While you are just soldiers. Cannon fodder. Now sleep in the dirt."
"Nngh..." An EDF low growled weakly.
"You guys... are not even human... literally..." The other said while knock out.
"Wow..." Lloyd blinked.
"Well technology, they are correct. Koopas are not humans. But even I can handle these soldiers solo if you truly have the skills to match it up." Winter said.
"Kamek, get the troops and had them put these EDF in the dungeons. And had them keep a close eye on them." Bowser ordered
"Very well, your Nastiness." Kamek pull out his broomstick, flew up and take off.
"So, what are you doing to do with them?" Owain asked
"Keep them for interrogation. And ask Levi to get the information out of them." Bowser answered
"Why Levi?" Ludwig asked
"Mona mention he interrogated one of the EDF and he ends up cowering."
"Riiight..." Emblem Lucina sweatdrop. "Well, on the bright side, we can keep going before more interruption."
"But are you okay, Lloyd?" Emblem Sora asked. "Those EDF really said some messed up thing."
"I'm okay. While it did sting a bit, I'll preserve." Lloyd replied
"It takes strength of heart to preserve, Lloyd. I'm glad you didn't lose heart." Emblem Joker said. "Know that we will liberate Crossbell and make sure Crossbell gain its independence where you can be proud with both pride and strength."
"Thanks Akira. That means a lot."
"Okay, once we get these losers to their cells, then we can keep going." Bowser said.
"Just hope we don't get any other problems." Hop said
"I swear you're gonna jinx us if that were to happen." Bede rolled his eyes.
One troop arrived and taken the EDF away...
They continue making their way toward Dry Bone Dunes as they across the river of lava which they jump over it. There were Dry Bones minding their own business while some are actual bones or some Dry Bones sleeping. They pass a couple of dead trees and defeated a couple of monsters along the way until they reach the entrance to Dry Bone Dunes.
"All right, we made it!" Larry cheered.
"It certainly was a long ride. I'm feeling a little sore." Lloyd said.
"Eh, you'll get use to it once you keep riding every day or so." Owain said. "But what about you, buddy, feeling hungry or thirty after that long ride?" He was looking a the horse who neigh.
"There should be an oasis somewhere in the desert." Roman said. "With that, we can—"
"Wait, hold up." Winter draw her sword. "I'm detecting a presence."
(BGM paused)
Neo look around until she look above and had an ! over her head as she pointed.
(Kingdom Hearts III ost - Unforgettable)
Something fell from above them. It was a large highly advance Archaisms. The Archaism was a large Humanoid robot with four arms as it contains four rings in each arms. The Upper left was a red ring, the copper right was a blue ring. the lower left was a green ring and the lower right was a brown ring. The Archaism's body was large robotic head with green glowing eyes, and a hone-line crown on its head. The white face with black straps is decorated at the center. The Main Body was also white with green glowing joints. Its legs were white with sturdy armor. It's Four arms are white but with straps of color, matching the rings.
"Great Naga! Do my eyes deceived me, or is that a mechanical foe?!" Owain asked, dismounting and readying his sword.
"That looks like an Archaism. A new model in fact." Ludwig pull out his wand.
"Commence Defence Protocol. All enemies must be annihilated." The Archaism spoked.
"Hah! Oh, yeah? We'll see about that you scrap metal!" Roy smirked until heard some tree movements.
"Uh, what was that?" Lemmy asked as Bede turn his head and had an !? over his head. "What the—"
The Dead Trees had eyes flash, revealing to be Unverse as they pull out their roots and then gather and merging each other into a larger dead tree with bark-like hands.
"I thought something was ominous about those trees." Emblem Lucina muttered. "They're Unversed!"
"So the Unversed are trees now?" Junior asked.
"Hah! Now we got ourselves challenges compare to those Ebon Defense Force." Roy Koopa smirked.
"MORTON CRUSH UNVERSED. MORTON WILL ALSO CRUSH ARCHAISM!"
"Hahaha! Yep." Lemmy pull out his wand. "It time we put our own circus with these freaks!"
"Hehehe. Let us see what this new Archaism can do." Ludwig smirked. "I would to study its capability."
"Yeah, yeah. Just shut up and fight." Larry told him as he took his stand.
"Oh, yes! Be it machine or monster." Owain did his pose in Fire Emblem Awakening portrait. "They shall be slain by my sword hand! Where evil is smitten! Hooooh!" He grip his sword as he shaken. "My sword hand can't hold it any longer! Here come Owain—"
"SHUT UP AND FIGHT OWAIN!" The Koopalings and Bowser yelled at him.
Lloyd, Winter, Kamek, Bede and Hop sweatdrop.
"Let's go, Pawmot." Lloyd pull out his Pokeball and toss into the air and Pawmot came out.
"Pawmot!"
"Let's go, Zacian!" Hop toss his Pokeball and came out Zacian who howl.
"All right, Hatterene, let's go!" Bede toss his Pokeball and came out Hatterene.
"Hattereeene."
Ring Element Archaism - Dijinn Okora
Dead Tree Menace - Hollow Dread
Lloyd form a combat link with Bowser, Junior form a combat link with Kamek, Ludwig form a combat link with Larry, Roy form a combat link with Iggy, Lemmy form a combat link with Morton, Winter form a combat link with Wendy, Bede form a combat link with Hop and Owain.
Lloyd form a Pokemon link with Pawmot, Hop form a Pokemon link with Zacian and Bede forms a Pokemon link with Hatterene.
Emblem Lucina appeared by Lloyd's side, Emblem Sora appeared by Bowser's side, Emblem Hakumen appeared by Owain side and Joker appeared by Junior's side.
"Dijinn Okora is weak to Water Arts, Water Types, Steel Types and Ground Type Moves." Winter's AI Master Quart informed.
"Hollow Dread is vulnerable to Fire Arts: Fire Arts, Bug Types, Flying Types and Fairy Types." Owain's AI Master Quartz informed.
Bowser throw a a fireball at Hollow Dread as it move swiftly to the left as Lloyd long toward and punishes it as Emblem Lucina slash it while Dijinn Okora upper arms throw fire and water from each hands toward the group as they split up. Winter ran up and then she slash through the Archaism, combo slash left and right as Dijinn Okora lower left arm aim and fired a stream of wind energy toward her until she backflipped and then summoned Glyths and threw ice shards at the Archams while Wendy threw multiple magic wings toward the Archaism.
"Ha! You call those rings? My rings are more beautiful and sparkling than that!" Wendy mocked a throwing multiple magic rings as the Archaism move swiftly to the left and then channel energy on its fist and punch the ground to sent a fire and earth spike wave toward the group.
"Incoming!' Bede yelled as Morton jump up and swing down, sending a shockwave to intercept. "Never mind."
