12. Chapter 11 Stories aren't always

Japari park, The great Midori tree

As the Gundam meisters are reunited. The group catches up on current events and Lockon notices how Marie is clamping on Serval yet again. "So, what's with the cat girl?" Serval replied with complete seriousness. "Please save me I have been kidnapped and being held against my will." Lockon replies with. "You too? A good chunk of us were also kidnapped. Hell, I was also press ganged by Setsuna over there." Serval falls into despair at the news as she cries inconsolably.

During that time the ZAFT trio and others were being transported inside the roots of the Great Midori. Inside the crater there is a network of facilities surrounded by a series of cities surrounding the crater. All connected by the Midori's roots and branches. Utilizing a cargo elevator to reach the bottom of the tree, where the primary overseer facility is located. As the team is witnessing the many facilities, they are greeted by an intercom message.

"Welcome to the Great Midori. The last bastion of Friendkind against the invasion against the Cellien scum. Located within the crater of midori, It is protected by the tree itself. Which is capable of creating a powerful barrier across the entire crater. Holds a dedicated garrison. Ten settlements spread all across the perimeter. And below all of this is the Helios scanner array. Responsible for observing Cellien activity all over Japari park."

As the elevator goes down the machinery for the Helios is also shown until they reach the bottom where the Midori roots are located. The ZAFT trio alongside Caracal leaves alongside their Lion and Gazelle Friend escorts as they go inside the root system of the Great Midori. A sprawling network of clearly aged and worn down pipe laden tunnels providing water which kept the tree alive and where small white rumba like drones known as Mushi's aided in the maintenance of the crater. Quickly moving across the floor and passing thru the groups knees as they speed towards their next job.

The foursome enters as they are met by Rekka. The elder Kemurikan in charge of the facility. A clearly aged being of 200 years old with balding red hair and clothing with green streaks and a unkempt beard. "Greetings all, I am Dr. Rekka." Rekka shuffles across the room with the help of his wooden midori cane. "There is no need to explain. I have already been informed of the situation." "Good to know." Caracal replies as the group are shown a fairly old paper map with several markings on it. Something that shocks Kira. "A paper map?" An incredulous Shinn adds. "That is so retro. Nowadays everyone uses holoscreens for this stuff." Shinn then stares at the paper until he is whacked into reality by Athrun. "Bad Shinn! No lighting things on fire!" "But I haven't been given a revelation by the great fire for a while now!" Kira and Athrun stare at Shinn who back off with a whine.

Rekka pulls out a small dagger and places it in an ocean located in the ocean west to the Hokkai region. A tundra region in the west known to be a massive arctic tundra with hot springs. "This is the Cellien hive. Many Friends died to bring out this information. Sadly we haven't been able to use it due to being in the middle of the sea." "Don't you have aquatic friends?" "No mister eeeh?" Ahtrun, Athrun Jacques Zala." "Oh, my name is Rekka and sadly our forces were mostly turned to chum. That's why I said that that many Friends died because of it. My name is Rekka by the way." Everyone is just left silent until Common bottle-nose dolphin showed up. The Friend had seen better days, as her gray hair with a white undside and blue highlights shaped like small flippers had a torn dorsal fin. A tattered blue sailor uniform. Heavy scarring on the tail, an eye patch on the left eye. A hook hand and peg leg on the left arm and leg as well. Kira screams. "Damn! What happened to you?!" To which the Friend replied. "I've seen things man! The hive, some weird, ugly ass, fox doll, some human Friend, and something." "Kira! Athrun! That means that Lalah and Tails doll are still here!" Rekka then adds. "The one behind the Celliens isn't a Cellien."

"How is that possible?" Caracal asked. "The Celliens need a queen to coordinate them like this." Rekka confirms that Dolphin is right. Explaining that a strange white spider like creature that commanded them. With Caracal being impressed at how the recon team got the information. Rekka told the group to go rest as they prepare for the next operation.

Kira, Athrun, and Shinn went to explore the area as Caracal stayed in the facility to aid in the future operations. The city they went to was the farming district. An idyllic, if run down place primarily because Friends only need Japari buns and Kemurikians sustain themselves with water. They are still used to grow flowers and marijuana. Something that Shinn notices and tries to steal. Shoving it into his clothing as much and as soon as possible as the trio stroll around the fields. Being greeted by the locals as they reach a roadside stall.

"So this our new homeland?" Lockon Stratos comments as he walks around the same town. "I wonder if they sell Guinness here?" When he notices the ZAFT trio and joins them in the stall where they are eating Japari buns. Looking at the menu Lockon complains that they only sell these bun things. "They only sell Japari buns here sir." Kira comments as he notices Lockon being given a pair of Japari buns by a penguin Friend. "Lockon?!" Which startles Athrun and Shinn. Lockon himself simply smiled and greeted the group. "Been a while guys." Later that night everyone caught up on their respective situations over dinner. And while Lockon complained all the way about the food. He did find an Irish stout flavored Japari bun. Sadly it had no alcohol to the snipers annoyance.

"Wow! I can't believe that Marie and Soma had that side to her." Lockon jokes about Marie who is still hugging Serval and not letting go. "The young angrily pouts and states. "An uncultured swine would never understand the charms of the Friends. Serval is love. Serval is life." Serval meanwhile in weeping in tears begging for the sweet release of death. Leading to riotous laughter as Allelujah comforted his girlfriend as the night wore on. And they continued their jubilation under the full moon.

As morning breaks over the horizon. Rekka and company are preparing for the days work. After Caracal showed up to give the crew their breakfasts. With Rekka's being pure spring water and buns for the others. And as they begin eating the proximity alarms begin blaring all across the Great Midori scrambling everyone there. Setsuna jolts awake and wakes up his fellow meisters. Explaining the situation as they head to their Gundams. With Serval taking the opportunity to escape. The ZAFT trio also head to the overseer facility as the skies above darken and strange horrors begin rampaging across the Great Midori. Reuniting with Caracal as she looks on as she hears a horrifying laugh similar to a hyena. The ZAFT trio though knew all to well what was happening and were horrified. "It's, It's, IT'S WALPURIGSNACTH!"

A horrifying giant of eldritchian origins flies towards the Great Midori cackling like a hyena all the way. A clown like monster with a frilly purple with a lower body full of cogs and gears. Reality twists around it as hurricane strength winds, tornadoes, tsunamis and more. That causes the area around the crater to crack and collapse as armies of Celliens pour out and join the attack. Devouring all Friends while the familiars torch the Great Midori itself as its barrier crumbles thanks to Walpurgisnatch's relentless assault. The Meisters fly off to intercept the witch and its minions. Spreading out to avoid taking damage. The trio was prepared to join when they are stopped by Caracal. "It's too late for us. You three need to go to the Cellien nest." "But!" "But nothing Kira! Aren't you trying to save those two? Then go! At the very least you guys can survive." After several moments of hesitation. Athrun thanks Caracal who tells them to head to the hangar once more. There is a transport there that will let them reach the sea. Caracal then leaves. Joining a squadron of Friends on combat ready Battaz. Custom models with detachable heavy armor. A mining arm and a lifter hand with a fully functioning hand manipulator carrying a six missile rocket launcher.

The four Gundams also head out, with Tieria and Lockon shooting down the larger Celliens, Allelujah and Marie intercepting the cogs and debris that Walpurgisnacht throws. As Setsuna readies the quantum system to communicate with the witch. Only to be paralyzed by the sheer force of negativity. Causing the meister to vomit as the GN Sword bit's fall to the ground screaming all the way as the witch fires off a massive beam that would have vaporized the Quanta if the ELS inside it didn't take over and create a massive silver shield that deflected the blast back at it. And then transform it into its ELS form. Sprouting seven wing like profusions in the back, detaching the movable shield, and taking on a sleeker and more metallic appearance. Then backing off as the Harute grabbed onto it. Allelujah asks. "Are you alright Setsuna?" Who is still shell shocked over what happened. "That being... It's not alive." Setsuna continued to explain the revelation. "It's just a mass of negative emotions with no rhyme or reason. Unless we stop it here and now the whole world is doomed!"

As if on cue the Zabanya and Raphael Gundams fire off their respective volleys at Walpurgisnacht. "Understood! Tieria Erde! Raphael Dominions Gundam, striking down the targets!" Tieria deploys its GN big claws and inbuilt bazookas and unloads at the giant witch. She tries to defend with more summoned debris like cars and building. They are all destroyed thought by Lockon who deployed all ten of his rifles as well as its compliment of missiles to cover Tieria. "Lockon Stratos! Gundam Zabanya! Shooting down the targets! Now play nice." The beam volley hits Walpurgisnacht which counters by vomiting a stream of Big Dog Celliens at them who all start firing lasers that destroy the area. Hitting three of the four Gundams as Allelujah and Marie were busy covering the Friends and Kemurikians as they escaped thru the gaps made by the Cellien Dig. Using the Harute scissor bits as swords to cleave a group of Hunter Celliens who tried to ambush them. Leaving explosions and cubes in their wake.

Back in the skies above. Setsuna has recovered and turned his right arm into a sword to slash thru mobile suit sized magical girl constructs. With the now three Gundams being forced to fight their way until Setsuna summons the GN sword bits, combining it into a colossal arm cannon that pierces thru the witch and then switching into a massive sword that cleaves the thing in half, leading to an explosion. The Harute joins the group as Walpurgisnacht falls and detonates as it lands. Lockon snarks that this was too easy. With Tieria telling the sniper to not jinx it. And then the corpse explodes releasing thousands of lesser witches that swarms the gundams overwhelming them with countless strikes and blasts. Tieria gets overwhelmed and is forced to purge the SERA armor to escape. With the SERA being torn to pieces by the horde, before having his head sniped off. He takes out hordes of monsters but a certain one got lucky and crashed into Raphael's back causing the GN particles to gush out as the Gundam is shot down.

Lockon lost his gun and shield bits one by one until Lockon was forced to recall two of them to his hands as the last shields are blown up. The Zabanya took evasive maneuvers as a 30 meter tall witch started blocking the Gundam. Sprouting each skinny arms that it launches at the Zabanya. With Lockon dodging the attacks and fought back with his pistols and missiles. Activating Trans-AM to assist in destroying every arm. At least until his time ran out which led to witch made of vines bound the Zabanya. Using this thorns to break its arms and legs. Lockon did break free though, and turned around to shoot the witch in where the heart, throat, and skull be. Killing it as the Gundam's arms shatter and fall.

The Harute was doing better. By virtue of having more stamina. But even it is facing problems as Allelujah and Marie are forced to use the Marute system and go all out with the scissor bits and beam cannons. Slashing witches left and right until a group of worms with bird wings attacked. Spewing streams of acidic bile that melts the ground and poisons the water. And being splashed into the Marute, melting the beam cannons and detached by force. Leading Allelujah and Marie to transform the Marute back into it's fighter mode. Leading to a chase thru the Great Midori. But are attacked by Cellien combatmen attempting to slash the Gundam and joined by Cellien snipers that open fire. Allelujah and Marie's skills allow them to dodge the attack and to take each other out. With the Snipers shooting down the combatmen and bugs And the bug acid melting the snipers. The Harute seemed to have escaped but its engine started to stall and explode. At least until being shot down by a camping sniper, causing the ship to plummet into the depths and crash in the depths of the crater.

And finally Setsuna, who was alone when the lower half of the Walpurgisnacht begins grinding its gears. Spinning them so fast that it causes a sonic attack that causes the Quanta to lose it's integrity, being unable to control it's form before getting rammed by said gears. Slamming him into a nearby wall and spinning the gears once more to grind the 00 and Setsuna to death. Desperate, Setsuna fires off his sword bits to clog up the gears causing them to stop. Teleports behind it and launches its wings that fire on the gears. Unfortunately the Walpurgis gears spin backward shattering the bits and sending them away with one on them piercing the Quanta's right shoulder and blocking the beam shower. Causing even more destruction as the last of the Friends escape while holding off Celliens. With a stray blast blowing up the group who was with Caracal and leaving the latter badly burnt and with both of her legs blown off. With the upper half regenerating causing Walpurgisnacht bursting out from the cogs in an explosion of goo and bile showering everything. And dissolving all plant life including the Great Midori. And as it flew upwards began cackling as it fires an array of heat beams that obliterates everything. Causing a series of explosions as the Celestial being Gundam are wrecked even though the pilots survived.

The pilots are facing death as Tieria curses the situation, Lockon being knocked out with Haro being destroyed by a power surge. The frame smoking as it tries to act before breaking down. Allelujah and Marie are holding hands, accepting of death. While Setsuna glares at the witch, trying to get his suit to move again. "Move 00! Move!" The massive witch cackles as it savors its kill but then A series of blasts then sweep through the skies. Obliterating Walpurgisnacht and its Cellien and witch hordes. Said beams coming from the Ptolemaious II which descended to the earth below. As the Exia Repair IV piloted by Graham Aker, and Dynames Repair III piloted by Lateria Erde, descend and finish off the remains. The Dynames uses a pair of GN beam cannons to sweep thru the enemies as the Exia used the GN Tachi, a katana based off the GN sword to swiftly slice off all that's left before shield bashing one and then shot with a GN bayonet. With the Dynames fires off its bazooka in its full burst mode to annihilate Walpurgisnacht alongside the Ptolemy which unloads its arsenal on the smoldering husk.

After the battle ends Graham heads to assist Setsuna in the Quanta with him demanding to know who is in the Gundam. "Did you already forget about me boy?" "Graham Aker?! But how?!" "Because of you Setsuna." Graham takes of his helmet revealing silver skin where his burn marks used to be and a streak of silver hair. A far less extreme level of assimilation that his. Which left him with metallic silver skin and hair and his eyes permanently locked in their golden innovator coloring. And needing a holo disguise to pass himself off as a normal human. "The ELS?"

Off in the distance a high speed transport shaped like an egg with multiple rockets that escapes the carnage with Kira, Athrun, and Shinn heading to the ocean. As they near the Cellien nest they equip their Units. A series of power armors inspired by IS systems. With Athrun readying the craft to break thru the blockade and smash into the walls.

Chapter 11: Stories aren't always guaranteed a happily ever after.

Six months have passed since the universe was returned to normal thanks to the actions of the Resistance. Still the scars of Spiral island remain. With many having died and coming back to life. After these events the IFS has began its oppressive crackdown in order to end any opposition to their rule. This has led to an attempt at an united separatist movement to either stop or secede from the IFS. It is the year Third history 8932. The three galaxies that were once united under the banner of liberation from evil have now become the oppressors. Civil war is threatening to tear worlds apart. And the belief that the empire will collapse is common.

But this is another story...

Mar 31 t.h. 8932 Siegfried castle, Gold crown village

Ahiru and Fakir were walking across the streets of Gold crown. Ahiru was twirling around gleefully remarking about nostalgia while Fakir tries to rein his partner in. "Be careful Duck!" "Don't worry Fakir! I know these streets like the back of my hand." The duck girl then slams into a strange man with a photo-realistic cat face in a green leotard that recognizes the two visitors. "Gah! Sorry mister, wait." You foolish child! You will apologize to me right now. Or I WILL HAVE YOU MARRY MEEEE!" Fakir then pulls both a cold glare and a sword to the throat on the cat man stating. "It's been a while Neko-sensei." While internally fuming about time travel. "It's you! How long has it been Fakir! And could you put that away?" "I'll do that when you stop hitting on my wife." Neko-sensei looks at Ahiru who reveals her wedding ring while blushing. "We got married last year." And then wraps her arms around Fakir. Leaving Neko-sensei slack jawed and silent at the revelation. That's when a pair of girls named Pique and Lillie shove the cat out of the way and stare at Duck. With Pique, the girl with the tanned skin and reddish brown hair tied on a bun screaming. "How did a twerp like you marry Fakir?! At least Rue has boobs!" Fakir shoots back with a murderous aura that causes Pique to flee in terror all the while Lillie, a blond with long curly blonde hair watches the scene with a downright sexual glee before turning to the two. "Anyways we haven't seen you since high school. One day you just disappeared and now you come back with this girl in tow. Also are you a groomer?" Ahiru tearfully explains that she is 18, showing the blonde her driver license. Pique then screams from a corner. "So you're into that shit you pervert!?" Before sticking out her tongue and leaving. The situation calms down and then Fakir asks where his father is. Neko-sensei gets up and tells them. "I'm afraid that Mr. Charon was drafted by the royal knights and is now serving as a quartermaster in the castle." The cat then points to a towering castle in the distance.

"Are they friends of yours?" A Sumeragi general similar to the normal, but somewhat bulkier with a pair of his brethren behind him. All kneeling like ninjas in front of the group. Neko and Lillie back off in worry while Duck and Fakir looked at the trio. "Sirs, I overheard the situation and I would like to report that the castle is under siege." Duck and Fakir are shocked with Neko-sensei noting that the central area has been under a siege for over a month. They've been holding on so far though. "And no Fakir we haven't broken the siege and met up with the others in the castle. Also, something is interfering with our logistics." A notice that worries the duo while the others are confused about what is happening. Neko-sensei then suggests that they head to his house in order to explain things.

Said house turns out to be a camping tent under a bridge. "Neko-sensei?" "This is an important lesson Fakir. Always have a prenuptial agreement to ensure the misses won't take away everything from you after the divorce." Ahiru comments. "Just like Hulk Hogan." "I am not a Nazi miss Duck." "Doubt they would let a magical cat man who works as a ballet teacher in anyways." Neko-sensei snaps screaming. "Being a dance teacher is a respectable profession!"

The group then crashes at Autor's house. Much to the glasses wearing pompous nerds displeasure. Who is soon cajoled by Pique and Lillie to serve them snacks much to his displeasure. "Seriously, why have I been reduced to this?" Autor whines as he sets down a plate of Santana biscuits and green tea. Fakir takes one of the biscuits, takes a bite and remarks. "It's the least you can do after "that." Autor suddenly freaks out and laves the room posthaste as everyone is confused. Fakir simply smiles and remarks that it was his own payback against Rue. Which leads Duck to glare at him in such away that Fakir backs off much to the amazement of the other three. Lillie remarks that she never saw Fakir squirm like that. The group catch up during the rest of the night and into the morning.

At the same time a grinning D.D. Drosselmyer is watching over the conflict from a darkened theater stage. Looking at both his dark emblem and Oracle rod he chuckles mirthfully as people are butchered all over his former world. "It's a good thing that I left the others when they did. Now I am in charge of the Cult of cycles. And soon, the curtain of the third greatest tragedy in the universes history shall rise. Now Princess Tutu. Will you finally fight? Or hold on to your ideals and die? Regardless it will be an interesting sight."

"Guitar ninjas!" Five figures appear at Drosselmyer's side from out of nowhere. "So, what can the great Sasuke-sama. Glorious leader of the Guitar ninjas do for you today?" A ninja in red asked. The blue ninja Hanzo angrily complains that he isn't the leader. Jiraya the green one alongside the yellow one Bob then speak out. "Sasuke is red so he is the leader. Isn't that right Bob?" Bob simply shrugs it off and ignores them. While the pink ninja Tsunade simply ignores the boys and is busy on her smart phone playing games. Rolling his eyes, the crazed artist turns his back to them and orders them to deal with the invaders before disappearing.

Sasuke stands up and boastfully proclaims. "Well this will be easy! I the great Sasuke-sama will lead us all to victory! Now let's move MY ninjas!" Sasuke then notices that everyone except Tsunade has already left who tells their leader. "They're gone Sassy." Sasuke turns back, screams at her, and then teleports away. Tsunade, left alone with her phone. A replica of an at the current time ancient Nokia N8 colored pink and with a shuriken key-chain. muses to herself as she watches in real time the defeat of Kuro.

"Hope, friendship, love. They are mere illusions. I will never fight for those ideals. I fight because I want to! I have no reason to do the right thing!" Kagemusha screams as the duo proceed to blitz Kuro, who is utterly incapable of even sensing them, let alone react. Leading to a major beatdown as Kagemusha and Monika perform a badass creed in unison. With every hit Kuro suffers leading to a new part of it.

"Blood rejects blood, heart breaks, heart, miracles and magic aren't coming, Dream are illusions, and God is dead. Time passes as we unite here and rise to the future. The only constant is one's will and self! Now we cut off the past and seize our future! Scatter and erupt! Majin Rengokusatsu!" Kagemusha unsheathes the Kurohane inside the Rakkuchi as the Monika sheathe sheaths flies around Hacker like a funnel with the former charging his right sword with fire, while the latter charges up with lighting and going forwards before performing a downward funnel slash, a down-rightward sword slash, followed by a down-leftward, a straight funnel thrust, then a jumping upward spinning funnel slash. Charging the sword and bit with darkness and light, they then continues the combo with an upward sword slash, followed by a downward slash, a straight thrust, then an outward slash from both blades. At the very end, the Rakkuchi is restored to one blade and combines the two energies into one blade and begins a cleave downward which causes a massive explosion. Finished by charging the completed sword before slashing up with her left, followed by an extremely powerful thrust and a final backstep to her original position.

Once again Kuro decides to aim at the other girls only for Burning Hacker to teleport to her face, grab the barrel, tear it off taking the entire lower arm with it which blows up the condenser, and finally slaps Kuro silly with her arm before tossing it away. Punching her in the gut and roundhouse kick away as she spins thru several walls, bouncing thru the floor the entire way and lands next to a chasm that the Beta created. She then gets up only for Hacker to once more get behind her and stay there for a moment of pants wetting fear before getting getting a dual palm strike that sends her reeling back where she was. Battered and broken, Kuro falls apart as Hacker decides to finish her off. With Monika stating. "This is for Sayori you dirty bitch." As Hacker jumps to the sky and launches Monika at their shattered enemy. Piercing her back leaving her stuck and pinned down.

"Code break! Take victory! Otoshi the rider kick!"

Burning Hacker's back bursts into numerous giant thrusters and verniers the latter of whom dodge Kuro's feather storm before appearing her and using a double heel kick to strike her down. The impact being so fast and powerful as the kick lands on the Rakkushi's hilt. Monika then screams. "Suck on my Master sword you prick!" That a sonic boom is heard as the floor is cracked open as the fusion back-flips away alongside their sword causing an explosion as the monster gets rider kicked into oblivion. Looking at Natsuki and Yuri as they mourn Sayori's death while defusing back into Hacker and Wizard respectively.

"Ha! Serves her right!" The pink ninja turns off the phone and thinks to herself. "Still, this is a sinking ship. It's high time to do something about it. And our maker." Tsunade then also leaves via teleportation. Leaving the hall empty and barren as the lights shut off.

The group is interrupted when a knock is heard from Autor's door. Annoyed at all that has happened he ends up going downstairs to see who it is. Only to find five all too familiar ninjas all introducing themselves. "Stop right there buddy!" "If anyone is explaining this gig its us!" "Shame really, as these prepubescent fools cannot hop to..." "Hmmph, hmmph hmmhp hmmp!" "Now you face the dark shadowy wrath of..." "Tsunade! Jiraya! Bob! Hanzo! Sasuke! Guitar ninjas! On stage!" With the five going into a random shredding session. "Oh come on!" Before explosions appear behind them. Autor slams the door shut and mutters. "Cocaine... One hell of a drug..." Before Bob smashes open the door. Grabbing it and chucking it away before punching Autor in the face, breaking his glasses and smashing him into a wall that shatters on contact. And then go upstairs where they begin wrecking the place until they stumble into Ahiru and Fakir. Picking a fight with both, with all five ganging up on Fakir who tells Duck to flee before being grabbed by Bob who them proceed to crash him into another wall. Ahiru tries to help only for Tsunade to attack her with a large acid coated kunai that melts thru the dinner table with ease. Desperate Ahiru grabs a nearby chair and slams it onto Tsunade before chucking another chair at Bob. Hurting him and being forced to let Fakir go who them kicks him away. With Sasuke and Hanzo rushing Duck with a tsurugi and a revolver respectively. "Sasuke-sama is going to kill you!" With Hanzo shooting at her. Fakir grabs a nearby umbrella to fight Sasuke. The latter cuts off the umbrella. Only to find out the former was tossed the dust from the broken wall into his face. Kicking away his katana, then jumping to grab it and use a downward strike to gouge his left eye and leave a nasty scar on his face. Leaving him screaming about his beautiful face and lunging forward in vengeance only to tripped away and into the floor.

Ahiru and Hanzo headed to the kitchen to continue the fight. With the duck girls duck form being too agile for the ninja to hit. Leading him to fire wildly. Ahiru then flies above her opponents and takes a dump on his face. Making him go berserk and to shoot like a maniac until his gun ran out of bullets and was tackled away by Tsunade who actually manages to clip Duck's wings with a poisoned sembon needle. Causing to fall and revert to normal as she and Hanzo jumped her. Ahiru simply dodged their blows until she purged the poison with her magic. "Healing artes huh?" Tsunade remarked dismissively leading Hanzo to reprimand her. "Do not underestimate the enemy!" Tsunade remains dismissive joking. "What is Princess Tutu going to do? Use ballet to kick our asses?" Inspired Ahiru performs a spinning triple flip and converts a pirouette into a spinning roundhouse kick. Taking both out before grabbing a butchers knife and heading to Fakir's side.

He was still fighting off Jiraya who helped Bob up only for him to mumble and then leap above them to perform a belly flop. "Wait Bob!" Fakir rolls away as Bob smashes thru the floor leaving a massive hole. And crashing into the floor. Where a furious Autor mounts the massive ninja and begins beating Bob's face in. "How does it feel you punk ass?! Not so funny now huh?!" Jiraya reveals his weapon, a long chain and begins using it to lash Fakir. Managing to land several hits before Duck tosses him the knife which he grabs in his off-hand with Fakir using Sasuke's katana to tie up Jiraya's chain before throwing the knife onto his right knee causing the green ninja to collapse. And is then finished off by Duck with a frying pan to the back of the head. Snapping said pan as the duo flees outside taking Autor with them. "Ahiru, Autor were leaving!" Escaping the five defeated ninjas with Tsunade taking the chance to slither away from the back. "Yeah, it's time to bugger off."

The trio exit the house only to find that the Cycles cult has come out in full force. With Skullriaser teams in both calamity types and cults types roaming the streets. With Skull fighters heading towards Autor's house before lowering their wings and separating them into four insectoid legs. And land on top of it, much to Autor's horror as he pushes away Fakir in order to pick a fight with the drones. One of them rotates its beam cannon and aims it at Fakir. Firing the cannon at the rushing artist and blowing him up. With the scorched corpse flying into the sky before landing on the road. With Fakir and Ahiru are forced to flee, while the Fighters pick up the four Guitar ninjas and flying off into the distance.

Ahiru and Fakir sneak thru the back alleys as the former calls for backup. She then is told that the generals have gotten into the castle by Firewall. And that Kickback is the only one that help as he,Air Raid, and Shortround, are fighting off a giant flying pyramid. Only for an explosion to erupt in the background, followed by a deafening crash. And then the sounds of blaster fire. "Well Duck, i've got good news and band news. The good news is that the Suppressor class was taken down." (explosions.) "The bad news is that every remaining grunt that Homura had hidden." Firewall then proceeds to shoot at three risers while a Skullraiser Lord draws his sword and dodges Firewall's shots before striking the Sumeragi. Firewall blocks the strike with his left arm and draws his arm mounted saw in his right arm and plunges it into the Lord's stomach.

"We're only getting Kickback as help Fakir." Radome appears behind the two telling them. "I'm here too." Before turning back and using his chest vulcans to fire at a building, killing the Skullraiser ambush team inside. "Head to the castle. Mytho is waiting for you." Radome then leaps up to the roof before deploying his arm mounted beam shields and raising his radome system in the back. Sending a signal that attracts all of the Raisers in the area who ready their skull guns. A series of large beam pistols with a sharpened and armored squat barrel designed for close combat and started shooting. With a Raiser lord being forced to enter the building and run up the stairs since they only had a sword. But Radome fled long before the Raiser got to the roof. Leaving him to scream to the skies in frustration as all of the other goons chase Radome.

Ahiru and Fakir ran towards a parking lot where the latter carjacked a Jeep that the two used to leave the town until reaching a bridge knows as the Beowulf bridge that linked to a large and intricate stone bridge across a giant moat that led towards the castle. As the duo reach the tower, something stops the Jeep. Making it unable to move at all. "What's going on?" Duck asked with Fakir desperately tried to move but to no avail. Radome then catches up telling them that an invisible something that prevents the car from moving. "Great!" Fakir complains as the trio reunite. "What's next?" And then a creepy chuckle is heard all around as D.D. Drosselmyer appears from the void, walking across the bridge as he stares at his foes. With Fakir getting in front of Ahiru and Radome using the sword he stole from Sasuke to defend them. Drosselmyer continues chuckling as his head begins to twist around from his hunched back.

D.D. Drosselmyer

Gen Urobochi's grandpa

"Princess Tutu. It's been too long. I must admit, I never imagined that you would regain a human form." He then becomes upset at a moments notice. Switching from a jovial cheer to a hate filled rage as a malicious dark aura oozes from the writer. Something that Ahiru notices in concern. "Always getting in my way. Messing with my story. But no more." The Guitar ninjas minus Tsunade land from above and surround the heroes as Drosselmyer summons his Oracle rod and places the dark emblem in it. Using it to transform

"Battleship! Mutation!"

Black ooze erupts like a geyser beneath Drosselmyer as it explodes into puddles revealing his Avatar form. An utterly massive brown camo colored machine the size of a small mecha. Like a massive battleship armor surrounding Drosselmyer allowing him to float with his carrier deck shaped legs lacking feet. Massive arms with four twin beam cannons each. Two in front and two in back. Arms with repeating cannon weapons and wire mounted mega particle cannon hands. Numerous twin cannons all over the body. And a sensor system for eyes with two red glowing holes and a radar system on top. His face stuck in a permanent manic grin as his white hair and beard grew over the lower part of the face. Fakir is genuinely intimidated as Ahiru looks terrified while Radome pulls out a beam assault rifle from under his dome. "Tidal Break has arrived. Ninjas. Destroy."

The four Guitar ninjas rush Fakir each with their respective weapons, But Fakir dodges them as begins dictating the pace of the fight. Handily holding off the foursome as Sasuke loses more and more of his temper. "You piece of shit! You will pay for humiliating the great Sasuke-sama like that!" Sasuke attempts to stab Fakir, only for him to deftly parry the blow, disarm his weapon, and then disarm him. Cutting off his left hand and then kicking him into Bob's gut as Jiraya is out for blood. Hanzo then notices that Tsunade is gone. "Where the hell did that bimbo run off to?" Before dodging several of Radome's shots as the two engaged in a shooting duel thru the streets. Jiraya is using his weighted chain as a whip. Forcing Fakir on the back-foot until the green ninja sweeps the chain. Managing to tangle and trip Fakir before lashing him repeatedly with a crazed glee. "How do you like that ass-hat!" Duck tackles Jiraya out of the way and struggles to pin him down. He orders Bob to do something and he leapt into the sky and belly flopping into Duck. Who rolls away at the last minute crushing Jiraya with his mass. She then runs towards Fakir to lift him up and heal him. "Get off me you fat yellow shit!" "Mmph! Mmph! Mmmph!" "What do you mean you can't get up!"

Radome and Hanzo are still shooting at each other. Strategically taking cover as they continue their battle. Hanzo switches from his carbine to a large caliber auto cannon with an under-slug rocket which he fires annihilating Radome's cover. Forcing him to use his shields as Hanzo begins firing at Radome. The latter fires his chest vulcans which pass thru the beam shields shocking Hanzo as he is peppered by the beam fire. And after a minute and a half of sustained fire manages to take down Hanzo screaming DAKKA! all the way. Leaving the blue ninja as a smoking wreck. Before a series of explosions rock the area. Forcing Radome to leave Hanzo on the rubble.

Drosselmyer or Tidal Break now then started moving towards Fakir while arming his cannons. Sasuke who was watching the sight alongside Jiraya and Bob cheered on his boss taunting Fakir and Ahiru. Then he turns his head towards the ninjas telling them that they're fired. Much to Sasuke's confusion. Tidal Break then aims his cannons at the three and opens fire. Seemingly obliterating them in a ruthless barrage of particle beams. Ahiru screams as she rushes to aid the ninjas with Fakir trying to stop her. Drosselmyer lifted his arms and readied his finger cannons. Charging the beams and aiming at everyone. But is stopped by a smoke grenade being launched by Kickback who arrives just in time and tosses a sticky bomb on Tidal Break's back causing an explosion that disabled him. "Get to the Jeep!" "But what about?" "Leave them Ahiru!" Radome tells her while driving said Jeep which has been freed from the seal. Fakir jumps in while Kickback chucking the duck girl into the back and then driving off while Kickback holds Tidal Break off as the smog disperses. Kickback starts shooting a Tidal Break who shrugs off the blasts while he fires off all of his guns. With the Sumeragi general retreats Avoiding the beams while shooting at him. Drosselmyer chases the group while shooting Kickback. Leaving holes in the bridge and then the landscape. Blowing up the trees, houses, a herd of cows, and a Border Collie in the process. Until firing off a massive chest beam that lands on Kickback, causing him to spin out and crash into a cliff wall.

Kickback continues shooting at Tidal Break only to fail as the latter loaded his finger cannons. In desperation Kickback fires its arm cannons rapid fire settings to hit the barrels destroying them and causing internal explosions before someone chucks a jug of milk which lands on Drosselmyer's face. "What was that?"

"Who am I?" Ahiru then reveals herself in an incredibly dramatic way atop the Toei rock quarry which suddenly appears out of nowhere. while switching between poses. "Sometimes i'm a girl. Sometimes I am a duck. But I am always a klutz! Ahiru Arima! The super duck that has the powers of humans, times seven! Leave now or you with get pecked in the face really, really, hard!" With the posing finishing with a pirouette and bow as white colored explosions rocked behind her. Drosselmyer respond by shooting at her with his broadside cannons almost killing her with the blasts. Only rescued by Kickback who is also shot for his troubles. Taking many hits along the way from Drosselmyer's relentless barrage. Which is only stopped by Fakir on the jeep who knocks down his ancestor and begins to punch him in the face repeatedly. "Just go back to hell already you old fart!" Tidal Break grabs Fakir and chucks him into the cliff while an injured Kickback fires another smoke charge as everyone makes an escape. But not before Tidal Break fires off all oh his cannons causing mass destruction and piercing thru Kickback's waist. The latter of whom shrugs it off as blood pour from the wound. Tidal Break stops moving musing that it is time for a change of plans as he sends hordes of Raisers after them.

Radome, Ahiru, and Fakir finally reach Gold crown castle at sundown and manage to get the medics help. With Kickback following behind them before collapsing on the floor and dying from his injures in front of the others. Air Raid also drops down, keeling over in anguish as the generals mourn the loss of their friend and then turn all of their weapons at the enemy horde. Opening fire and destroying all the pursuers as the castle guards sealed the door anew. Only for Skullraisers to horde the castle en masse.

Struggling to horde off the seemingly endless Skullraisers. With Radome out of commission and Ahiru tending to Rue's wounds. Mytho and Fakir rally the remaining troops for one final strike. "Never thought we would be fighting side by side like this Mytho. Fakir jokes, if for nothing to hide his fear. The former simply smiles and responds with. "Let's just hope this isn't the first and last time." Surprised by Mytho's reaction Fakir blinked in astonishment. "Did you just make a joke?" At long last the castle doors have been blown apart and as wood and stone fly all other the courtyard all of the gathered forces brace themselves as Mytho and Fakir draw their swords.

But before the enemy could charge the entire landscape is rocked by a massive explosion is the sky as a burst of flames appear from the sky alongside the fried Kuro raven that conveniently lands on top of the Skullraisers. Breaking the siege and forcing them to retreat. Ahiru heads toward the giant bird which is now plucked and cooked, pokes it with a stick nearby and then takes a bite of the crow realizing its delicious. "Everyone! Tonight we eat like kings!" The soldiers roar in celebration while Rue rushes to the bathroom to puke. As the soldiers begin to carve the crow and pass it around the army.

Some time later after night falls on Gold crown Fakir and Ahiru reunite with Mythos and Rue after years apart. With Ahiru and Rue talking to each other over a balcony under the moonlit skies. Rue herself is a girl with long and curly black hair and ivory skin. With piercing red eyes and a white downy princess dress. Rue smiled at Ahiru who is currently in her duck form after using too much magic helping everyone heal. She then picks her up as both look at the distance. "We stopped Drosslemyer and the crow only for this to happen." Duck and Rue look at a distant village which is on fire. The former remarks. "I think it's kinda pretty. It looks like that bonfire from back then." Rue becomes annoyed at the remark to which Duck freaks out and go quiet. Rue calms down and asks when did she get married to Fakir. "Actually it was last year after the whole Pandora incident. He was really worried about the whole everyone getting killed." Rue simply frowns noting. "We got sealed away in the embryo. Honestly after being devoured by it we couldn't see or feel anything. It was like an endless ocean of pain and horror that seemed to go on forever." Duck acknowledges the situation. As she lasted eight of the ten years primarily because she laid low in the coastlines as a doctor. While Fakir died in less than a year. Sacrificing his life to get her to safety. Rue then hugs Duck whom hugs her back.

Fakir himself is meeting with Mytho. Who is now the ruler of Gold crown. A young man with white hair, golden eyes, and a serene attitude and expression. The two are discussing manners in the castle's study. A cozy room with a circular table and several seats. There is an active fireplace in the distance. As well as relics of old in the shelves that are attached to the walls. "Essentially the reason why Siegfried castle has merged with Gold crown town. Seems to be some sort of historical alteration. As far as the world is concerned the world has always been like this." "So more project Pandora nonsense." Fakir complains to his old friend who simply smiles back as the two continue their conversation over coffee. As Fakir takes a sip he remarks. "This tastes like crap." Mytho notes. "Supplies are getting scarce right now. You should try this." Mytho then hands a bottle of Bourbon to which Fakir asks. "Does this help with the taste." "Not really. But it helps you to ignore it." The two laugh as Fakir takes the bottle and pours it on the coffee noting. "I never thought we would be having a conversation like this." "Thanks to Rue, much like with you and Duck." Fakir turns away and denies it all with a blush on his face.

The surviving four Sumeragi generals all are in the castle's galley drinking and mourning the loss of Kickback. Firewall is drinking like a fish, Air Raid is smashing the table before drinking a shot. Swearing bloody vengeance on Drosselmyer. "Fuck! Fucking shit of an old man! I'm going to squeeze the remaining life out of that geezer!" Radome is lying in a corner while Shortround looked on in silence. "Air Raid. We need to protect the castle." "Screw you Shorty!" Air Raid then flies off screaming and swearing. And while Radome tries to stop Air Raid from leaving. Firewall's simply tells Radome to leave him be. "Shortround help me out!" Shortround simply stares at Radome then walks away. "Well i'm doing something!"

Outside the castle Radome catches up with Air Raid and tries to stop him. "That's enough Air Raid!" "Zip it nerd! I'm going to sink that battle-bitch!" "Technically he is a battle-bastard." Radome reveals his radar dome, raises it above him and extends the ring to full power. Air Raid looks at his junior asking. "So, do you have a plan brewing?" Shortround was looking at them from a distance before heading back inside.

That night at the badlands

A Barrel class space ship. Or at least the frontal bridge orb lands from above across the clearing around the now trashed bridge. As the ship lands the pink member of the guitar ninjas exiting from the back of the ship. Utilizing the night and rain as cover dragged Sasuke and Jiraya into the ship one by one but failed when he tried to move Bob due to his weight. She then went inside and brought out a forklift only to fail as he fork breaks down. Then comes back with a tank with a ceratanium chain that Tsunade ties around Bob on drives off only for the tank to be torn into pieces. Then she tries to push him into the ship only to fall to her knees in exhaustion. She then get Hanzo's help who finally gets Bob inside via a moving geyser jutsu. The two then depart leaving the planet with their tails tucked between their legs.

Inside the ship we find Sasuke mightily pissed at both being betrayed and being rescued by Tsunade. "And why didn't you show up this time?" "We would have died otherwise." Hanzo even tells him. "She's right. This place has an RC tank so Jiraya and Bob will be alright. But we would be dead if Tsunade didn't show up. Well, except you since you're too stubborn to die." "Damn straight! So now what pinky?" "We head to Zeon Zun Deikum to meet with the heads of the Sodom cult." Sasuke stayed silent for a moment before blurting. "Say what?"

In the distant edges of the Siegfried territory. Deep inside a forest long forgotten by the masses of civilization in the Siegfried castle. There a burial was being held by Sayori from the Doki Doki literature club who was killed earlier. After a short eulogy Natsuki and Yuri are left behind as Kagemusha and Monika trannsform into their Voyager forms and head to battle. After some silence. Kagemusha asks. "So Monika, how it's hanging?" "Make a joke like that and i'll kick your ass." Monika replied with a dead serious expression. Well about as expressive as a spaceship can get. As the two head towards the castle with Monika musing. "This world is in mortal peril yet we're stuck traveling at the speed of plot."

Meanwhile Natsuki and Yuri head to an old abandoned villa. Being forced to hide there much to the former's ire. Who complains about living in a shit squalor while Yuri searches for anything of use.

Apr 18 t.h. 8932, Castle Siegfried, The castle.

Days pass and the siege continued. Thanks to both the aid of the generals who are now using their combined skills to hold off the hordes. Including Skull fighters, Hunter drones, and the occasional Barrel class cargo ship that leads towards raiding parties. Leaving all of the surrounding area in wreckage and ruins. With the guards managing to install the security perimeter again. Now as morning breaks Mythos and Rue are surveying the castle. Where they are treated with cheers and approval from everyone to civilians and soldiers. As said people were doing their respective tasks. With Ahiru helping with the cooking as a three headed wolf monster which is being eaten for breakfast. While Fakir finishes his sword training. Now using a Western style sword instead of the stolen katana. Then heads to where Fakir is.

"I cannot believe you people are eating monsters." Fakir comments to Ahiru with a mix of astonishment and disgust at the sight of several monster corpses being picked clean to the bone. Ahiru meanwhile lies splattered on the floor with a comically bloated. "Why not? It was kaijulicious! Besides beggars can't be choosers in the middle of a siege. Ahiru then burps loudly, which further frustrates him. He then stares at Mytho and Rue who are equally as comically stuffed. With Mythos defending himself with. "It really was kaijulicious." And Rue adding. "You should have had some. Err... Why are you looking at us like the scum of the earth Fakir?"

Drosselmyer, now alone in his hideout fumes in frustration. Demanding to know where are all of his minions are to the wrecked body of Urara. A young girl puppet which has been hacked apart with an axe which has been planted into her broken drum. Alongside dozens of the dead members of the Book men. All of them in various states of being blown up. With more bodies around suggesting that Drosselmyer killed them all as Tidal Break. "Forget it. You were always useless anyway." He then starts writing a letter with parchment paper and an old quill pen. "Let's see. Dear Princess Tutu. I challenge you and your annoying compatriots to a duel to the death. Face me at Beowulf bridge at high noon or else. Sincerely Dietherd Dwight Drosselmyer." He then summons a raven to take the letter as Kagemusha and Monika break down the wall and bear their weapons at the author. Who simply teleports away without giving them the time of day. The duo look over the stage with Monika ralphs up at the horrifying carnage and stench while Kagemusha simply looked morose at it all. "I just cannot get used to this crap." "You would think you would have long gotten used of it Monika." Kagemusha then looks at one of the bodies noting that they've been preserved somehow. They are dead, and reek like dead bodies. But somehow hasn't rotted away from what seems to been around a month. "Seriously?" Monika commented as even more explosions rock the stage and the place collapses. With the two transforming into Burning Hacker to smash thru the collapsing ruins. "Great. A self destructing evil base. Monika complains as the two exit the hideout which is an old canning plant before imploded. "Are you alright Monika?" "Nothing hurt but my pride and my literary expectations." "Tell me about it. So... camping?" "Actually I think there's an inn a few streets back." "Awesome. I haven't had a good nights sleep since this whole mess started.." The two then leave the smoldering ruins and towards said inn.

Beowulf bridge at high noon

Ost: High noon at the Predacon corral: Beast wars.

Fakir, Ahiru, Mytho, and Rue reach Beowulf bridge on the Jeep. As they get out in the front of the bridge a bitter wind crosses the area as the sun hangs above the sky. Rue screams to the bridge. "Where are you Drosselmyer!" "I see you've got my invitation Princess Kraehe." "My name is Rue!" The bridge then transforms into the mad writers face who mocks Rue about her past. "That's where you're wrong Princess Kraehe. You are an extra. A bit player in my play. If only you gave it to me. The prince's heart." Drosselmyer then reforms into his human body before transforming into Tidal Break once more who then oozes out his black aura that turns into a raven silhouette. Rue freaks out as she recognizes the Raven from the old story. "The Raven?! But how?" But Drosselmyer reacts in genuine confusion. "What are you talking about?" Then quickly points at Mytho and Rue, firing five of his finger cannons in a split second. To which Rue defends with a barrier formed by wind and crow feathers. Saving Mytho from certain death. Rue finally having had enough summons feathers to strike Tidal Break as she rushes in closer. Only for Tidal Break to be unaffected and to slap Rue right into the stonework of the bridge. Causing her to bleed in the head and pass out as Duck rushes to heal her. While Mytho and Fakir fight. With the two covering each other from the barrage of fire before striking with their swords which are blocked by Tidal break with his arms. He then loads his cannons and fires them off at Ahiru who is healing Rue. Causing a direct hit that knocks her off the bridge and into the water.

"I've had enough of this! Mytho!" "Agreed Fakir. Go for the joints!" The two split off as they switch to hit and run attacks that attempt to strike the joints. Only for Drosselmyer to prove rather agile. Punishing each attempt with either a dodge or block and then counterattacking. Frustrated Fakir attempts the soenbu. A technique that creates a series of bit like energy that slash in all directions. Finally managing to the break Drosselmyer's guard and injure him. Mytho attempts to capitalize by leaping upwards to lob the maniacs head off. Only for Drosselmyer to chuckle as he detaches his hands as well as all ten fingers and use them to strike the prince and his knight until they are defeated. "All range attack. Now Mytho, give me your heart so I can resurrect into this world." He then heads to Mytho as the attack on Fakir continues without mercy while he summons a horde of Skullraisers to finish the job of killing the trio.

"Stop right there!" A voice speaks across the battlefield as Tidal Break and his forces are attacked by the Sumeragi generals. With them alongside all of the castle staff including women and children. Joining in the battle and taking on the Skullraisers while the prince pulls himself up confronts Drosselmyer. "Drosselmyer! You have abused my people for far too long!" "You are nothing more that characters in my grand play. Who cares if mere fiction has to suffer?" Mytho draws his sword calling the crazed author a bastard. With Fakir joining him as he in one swift motion dismantles the finger funnels forcing him to recall them. "Don't you mean our people Mytho?" Mytho sheds a tear and smile saying. "Thank you. For everything." As the two face Tidal break. "Well heroes come! Come and face the dragon at your door!" As he loads his cannons and begins firing everywhere. Hitting friend an foe alike as the aura of a raven rises from him. Burning Hacker also shows up to join in. Using her speed to deflect all of the attacks at once. With each shot being deflected away in mere picoseconds before moving to the next one.

Fakir amd Mytho are wondering what is going on with Kagemusha explaining. "Long story short. We got trapped in an old videogame, fought a crapton of monsters, learned Monika's background, got character development, got this form, and kicked someone's ass so bad that it broke reality and turned the monster's leader into a roast turkey." At that time the Sumeragi generals cleaned house with the cannon fodder as they turned towards Drosselmyer. With Air Raid telling him. "This is for Kickback you son of a bitch!" With Radome guiding the people to safety. Shortround leaps toward Tidal Break and starts to grapple him. While Firewall and Air Raid flank the giant firing off their weapons. As Shortround unleashed electrical surges that surged all across Tidal Breaks body causing damage and explosions. He then broke off the hold as the two began punching each other. "You hit like a girl robot." "I am a girl." Shortround then breaks off the fight, jumps back, and fired off his four chest mounted particle cannons. As Drosselmyer stumbled back. Firewall fires off a magnesium shell and his legs. Air Raid fires off needle missiles fired from his shoulders which pierces the armor of Tidal break before exploding and then Firewall started shredding his foe with his arm saws.

Kagemusha then jumps in, slashing Drosselmyer using a back handed strike on fire. Firing off an onibi whose stream consumed Tidal break. Followed by a Bakuenjuin as Kagemusha and Monika strike causing an explosion that shatters his torso armor. Finessed by Fakir and Mytho using their swords to cut thru the shoulder joints in perfect synch. Cutting off Drosselmyer's arms which fall with a deafening thud with Radome shooting him in the head with a sniper rifle. The monster then finally topples over and falls. Mytho and Fakir rush to both Rue and to find Duck while Kagemusha and company surround the fallen fiend. Air Raid asks. "Is he dead yet?" With everyone holding their weapons trained at him.

Suddenly a surge of dark energy then explodes from Tidal break. Forming into giant claws that sweep across the battlefield that fires off waves of energy that strike everyone. With the surges also hitting Mytho, Fakir, and Rue. Tossing them around as the aura reattaches the shattered body parts and revives him. Loading all of his guns and firing them off causing mass destruction as streams of super-heated plasma scorch the land and water. "You and your big mouth!" Firewall yells at his companion. Tidal break then closes in mentioning with an increasingly distorted voice.. "I have no idea what happened but i'm not complaining." As he looks at Mytho dead in the eyes he aim his guns and demands to eat his heart. "I will be resurrected prince. One way or another."

In desperation, Ahiru jumps off from the water as a duck and onto Drosselmyer's back. His large bulky flame making him incapable of tossing the small duck away. She then starts healing him to which Drosselmyer bellows. "What are you going to do Tutu? Cure me to death?" Ahiru defiantly states. "Exactly!" As she pours all of her power into her foe. Tidal break then begins vomiting blood as his technoorganic body starts swelling and growing tumors all over his body. "What did you do you bitch!" the man screams. His composure utterly shattered and he becomes a giant pile of tumors. His body becoming a lump of distorted flesh and metal while Ahiru smiles stating. "Curing you to death. Healing magic simply accelerates the division of cells that aid in the natural healing process. Something that RC tanks do more effectively and without shaving years of your life span. Also, overuse of healing magic causes the cells in the body to mutate forming cancerous growths. Prolonged exposure sends these growths into metastasis which spreads all over the body." Drosselmyer then begins sprouting steel spikes from his body with viscous and oily blood pouring out of it while his hair falls off. "That's why healing magic is only used for emergencies! As cancer is even worse when you have bodies like us. Fusions of flesh and machine bound at the genetic level!" Ahiru then flies off as Drosselmyer devolves into an unrecognizable horror as both Mytho and Fakir prepare to put the man out of his misery. Leaping with their swords and slicing into pieces causing the body to overload and explode with Fakir and Mytho fist bumping as Ahiru flies to safety and returns to human form to glomp Rue... From the sky. Leaving a very unamused girl who is now having a face full of duck girl butt. While Burning Hacker defuses back into Kagemusha and Monika.

Unfortunately for everyone. The Oracle rod rises from the dark aura and infuses Drosselmyer with power that not only restores his Tidal wave body. But allows him to grow to giant size.

"Transviral! Enhancement! Grow battleship! Grow!"

Drosselmyer quickly tries to either shoot or stomp the now tiny by comparison heroes. Seeing this both Kagemusha and Monika silently acknowledge each other as the latter becomes Fortress Voyager and starts a firefight with Tidal break. Tanking all of his shots and giving back twice as hard. Even ramming into him and firing a point blank main cannon shot.

Meanwhile Kagemusha locates both Fakir and Ahiru are given emeraldrivers by Kagemusha. As well as proper emblems. "Take this and use it to transform you two." At the sounds of battle and explosions rock the place which cause Kagemusha to transform into her Voyager form and leave. "You guys already know what to do. Now if you'll excuse me." Both of them put on the drivers which scan their biometrics and change colors into silver and gray and yellow and white. And use the emblems. But while Ahiru gets the usual Voyager transformation music. Fakir's emblem creates a pillar of light that pierces the heavens and opens a portal.

"Code Titan! It's unstoppable!

A portal opens above everyone as a silver Tennou II using a high mobility Raijin pack. Firing off a salvo of missiles attached from the wings at the now giant author before kicking him in the stomach before heading to Fakir who gets into the cockpit. With him being lifted upwards to the chest mounted cockpit. Getting inside it and activating the Tenno's II systems.

"Tennou II custom! Ace! Ace! Aceee! Custom..."

Tennou II Fakir custom

The legacy of the Zaku

Duck then joins in by using her driver and emblem. Soaring into the sky and transforming into Rescue Voyager. A yellow and red colored fire truck like machine. With six wheels the typical animal based face. This time of a duck is hidden by a truck grill and two forward facing fire hose cannons. The Voyager joins with Fakir and fires off twin ice streams from its hoses that freeze Tidal in place as Fakir took out his custom gouf sword. A retractable physical broadsword with a beam current flowing thru the blade. Which he uses to strike at Tidal. And almost cutting off his head again if Drosselmyer didn't change forms into a ship by taking a horizontal position with his head being placed in the chest area and flying off. Circling the duo before firing a pair of cannons from the legs which are frozen by Ahiru as her Voyager's fire hoses open up and rotate to the back firing a freezing beam that turn the blasts into ice which falls and shatters. All the while Fakir leaps on top of Drosselmyer and starts unloading his machine's needle rockets. With Intercept Voyager joining in and firing larger missiles that down Tidal forcing him to return to normal and counter with another barrage of cannon fire. Fakir and Kagemusha dodge everything with Fakir complaining. "Don't you know any other tricks before kicking away the larger monster into the nearby water. Which Ahiru quickly freezes leaving Drosselmyer stuck.

"Duck, let's combine!" Kagemusha notes which catches everyone's attention. "First combine with Ronin-Oh to restore this kingdom to normal and then combine with Fakir to stop this blowhard." "Right!"

"Code Gattai! Endless possibilities!

"Code Formation! Take off!"

Rescue Voyager drives off and separates itself into two components. It's cockpit detaching and turning into an arm. With the lower chassis attaching into the back and having the fire hose cannons into cannons that slide into the shoulders. And its new right arm is a larger and longer version with a large crushing hand formed from the upper chassis. With Intercept and Fortress Voyager combining into the one armed Ronin-Oh with Rescue's components attaching into the right arm and back. With the new right arm being larger and longer. With a large open hand. Whom then lands on the ground, skidding forward as Ronin-Oh throws its right arm as a punch while facing forward to the camera.

"Ronin-Oh rescue! Featuring Duck!"

Ronin-Oh rescue

Brave of healing

Drosselmyer struggles to break free and when that doesn't work use his cannons. Which leads to a thorough beat-down by Fakir as Ronin-Oh rescue raises it right arm to the skies as green particles begin storming from across its body. With the fist glowing a bright gold color as Duck screams out. "Fixer field!"

"Code break! Take victory! Fixer field."

Firing the field as a wave it restores all of the destruction caused by the Cycles cult assaults and exorcises all of the remaining Skullraisers. As well as heals Rue much to the amazement of everyone watching. "This can't be! How it's this possible?! After restoring the entirety of Gold crown. Rescue Voyager detaches and fires off its boiling water cannons at Drosselmyer. Breaking the ice and pushing him away as Fakir flies upwards then dives and strikes with his full powered sword. Cleaving Drosselmyer in the chest and leaving a large sparking scar. After that Kagemusha as Intercept Voyager readies a new emblem. And places it into his driver then firing.

"Aid and Dump! Scramble machines move out! Scramble Aider! Scramble Dump!"

Two cars fly out of a portal in the ground and start racing thru the snow an ice. Aider being a pink hospital van with a rounder front and design that prioritizes speed and agility. And Dump being a green dump truck with a blocky rugged appearance meant for power. With both sharing the familiar mono-eyes of the Sumeragi's and Tenno II. The Scramble machines then race past Ronin-Oh which reattaches its interceptor right arm. With Monika looking "Okay seriously, what have you been doing these past eight months aside from catching up on your back gaming catalog? Aider then fires medical wrapping that binds Tidal Break. With Dump lifting large stones from the ground and lobbing it before turning to Rescue Voyager.

Drosselmyer breaks free by firing off his plasma streams but Dump uses himself as a shield. Drawing and deflecting the energy. With Aider deployed a large syringe that it fires. Only for it to miss, much to Drosselmyer's mocking glee. "You missed! Now you stupid toys." The syringe missile turns and strikes Drosselmyer's butt causing him to fly up and down and scream in pain as both vehicles turn around with Aider mockingly honking as Tidal before leaving. Fakir them gives the command for combination as Rescue Voyager, Scramble Aider and Scramble Dump join up and head towards Fakir and his Tenno. All the while Kagemusha splits into two Intercept Voyagers which combine with Fortress Voyager.

"Code Gattai! Endless Possibilities!"

Fakir's Tennou custom leaps into the sky as it's right arm, Raijin pack, and lower legs detach. With Aider and Dump transforming into the left and right legs by raising their backs up with the cockpits becoming the feet. And Rescue Voyager splitting in the same way as with Ronin-Oh Rescue with the components becoming a right and arm and backpack. Firing off a burst of water above as it spins and poses with the right arm in front and the cyclops visor retracting and showing two eyes as rain falls and a rainbow appears.

Tenga knight

Knight of healing

Theme of Tenga knight: Bravely you: Charlotte opening

"Tenga knight. The tale of a knight who imagines possibility. Five stars!"

Drosselmyer pulls himself up. Shaking of the stones stating that he will not be beaten by toys as Ronin-Oh and Tenga knight face off with him. Swords drawn. Tidal fires off another all range attack which is deflected by Tenga's healing barrier. Followed up by drawing its shoulder cannons and shooting the hands, freezing them solid. Drosselmyer detaches them in desperation and attempts to close the gap. Breaking the barrier with physical force and giving both mechs a clothesline while mounting Tenga knight and punching the cockpit in the hopes that he could get to the pilot. Ronin-Oh lifts up Drosselmyer and punches him out of the way before helping Tenga knight. Who is stopped by Drosselmyer who tackled Ronin-Oh and the two end up fighting each other. Shooting at each other and slugging it out.

Ronin-Oh flies off and Tidal begins to fire his cannons again attempting to shoot the former down. They all missed as Ronin-Oh was far more agile. But its retaliatory attacks don't do much. Tenga knight gets up and gives Tidal a rocket punch to the face knocking him away with Ahiru screaming "Rocket punch!". Running towards the giant avatar while firing freeze shots and then giving him a ten hit punch combo finished by Tidal countering with an arm strike to Tenga's head cracking the head unit. Ronin-Oh then dive kicks Tidal and fires off it's chest beam before dodging a retaliatory strike with physical blows and missiles. Tenga fires off a surge of energy from its right hand that cracks Tidal's armor and forces him to escape in his battleship form. Ronin-Oh draws its twin swords as it gives chase while Tenga fires off his cannons at Tidal. Getting nicked multiple times as Ronin-Oh tosses the swords at Tidal that impact the back of the battleship mode. Being dragged around the sky like a speedboat as both trade fire. Monika complains. "Seriously why this thing go down?! We're reading all of his moves now. Yet we can't pierce the armor." Kagemusha snarks. "Well, why need skill and strategy when you can just turtle all of you problems away?" "Oh screw this! Messenkou!" Monika then fires off the chest beam at the arm thrusters hoping to do something. Only for Tidal to do several barrel rolls followed by an aileron roll and steep dive to slam Ronin-Oh into the water as Tidal Break returned to normal. Leading him to be beached and once again destroy the Siegfried bridge. Ahiru complains. "Oh come on! We just fixed that!" Before launching another robot punch which is knocked aside. As Tenga knight jumps atop the Raijin pack and flies towards Tidal who fires off his beam cannons again. Only for Tenga knight to leap off and the pack to bank to the right. Both dodging the barrage. Before flipping forward as the gouf sword started to glow silver. "Silver glint!" and doing major damage and the raijin pack firing all of its needle missiles which explode on contact. With the rocket punch, punching Drosselmyer thru four separate runs before returning.

Ronin-Oh then slaps Tidal around with his twin chain katanas with one glowing green and the other purple before striking in an X shaped pattern and getting hit by another Messenkou. "This guy can take a hit senpai!" "Hit Monika. As in singular. Not lets see if it can handle it in plurar. Ronin-Oh then proceeds to unleash its whole arsenal which is intercepted leaving a massive smoke cloud in the way. "Is it over?" Before being back-stabbed. As Ronin-Oh appeared from Tidal's shadow and plunged his swords on him which then exploded. Kagemusha boasts. "Did you forget that I was trained as a ninja?" With Monika replying in a dead pan tone. "The writer sure did." Driving him forward and straight into another beating by Fakir's hands. "This is so therapeutic. Drosselmyer tries to fight back. But his weapons and propulsion are all shot leaving him helpless and on his knees. "Curse you Princess Tutu! If only you played your part. None of this would have happened!" "Shining finger!" Ahiru then face palms Drosselmyer's head until the rest of it is shattered and it explodes revealing the mans real head and face. Heavily scarred and smoldering. "This IS therapeutic Fakir!"

Desperate the Raven aura tries to exit Drosselmyer and fly away. That's when Monika summons the Rakkuchi razuka into Ronin-Oh's hand with the latter giving chase. Using the hilt's clocklike mechanism to activate attacks. "Wind. Thunder rage!" Which calls down lightning on the raven causing it to crash into the ground. "Earth. Steppe raven!" Which closes the distance in an instant leading to multiple sword strikes. Sliding away another attack is made. "Fire. Black scarlet!" Firing off an iaido strike that consumes the raven in a fiery tornado powerful enough to lift it into the air. Screaming in agony it reforms into its giant monster form. A horrifying giant raven with bloodshot glowing red eyes. "It's over..." Both pilots remarks in synch as they prepare to finish things.

"Code break! Take victory! Aether. Higher than sky!"

Ronin-Oh flies above as a beam of light hits it. Removing it's sheath and showing the glowing katana inside. Before using a two handed drop to slash the Raven in half causing it to explode and releasing its hold on a confused Drosselmyer who is now flat on the ground getting stomped by Tenga knight. "Curse you... Princess Tutu..." Ronin-Oh then catches up as the two prepare to finish off Drosselmyer. While Ronin-Oh readies its familiar chest mounted cannon. Tenga knight has Fakir's Raijin pack attach to Ahiru's arm as the thruster's nose cones deploy four rods that begin gathering energy as Tenga knight uses both hands to handle the Tenga cannon. "Everyone! Let's end this!" Fakir screams as everyone confirms the sentiment. With the weapons being fully charged and Drosselmyer being terrified of what is going on as the foursome activate their finishers.

"Code break! Never fear the fall! Rust hurricane!"

"Code break! Take victory! Messenkou!"

Both fire a series of three powerful beams at Drosselmyer with Ahiru screaming the attacks name as loud and hot blooded as possible. Which blast thru Tidal breaker causing his Oracle rod and Darkm emblem to burst out and explode as Drosselmyer is defeat. "Curse you! Curse you! Princess Tutu!" He then drops to the ground and explodes. Finally ending his life and afterlife as the crowds around them cheer their victory. With Mytho and Rue hugging and the kissing each other in jubilation. Ronin-Oh returns to its two components and flies away to pick up Natsuki and Yuri. While Duck returns to normal and Fakir's Tenno and the Scramble machines return to Mobius via a portal

Everyone returns to Siegfried castle where Natsuki and Yuri meet the others and explain all that has happened. Natsuki, the little otaku that she is. Is totally geeking out while Yuri remains quiet while wearing the pelt of a deer she skinned herself. "So what now?" Monika asks to everyone. To which Fakir and Ahiru state that they will return to Mobius. With the Sumeragi generals heading off to bury Kickback in the badlands next to Sayori. Natsuki and Yuri forced themselves into going back with Kagemusha and Monika and Mytho and Rue will stay here to rebuild and deal with the remaining cultists. With the aid of the generals and troops.

Kagemusha then shows up with a notice that there is a starporst system was found and restored. With Kagemusha having inputted all necessary coordinates. "Well I guess this is goodbye." Mytho notes as everyone says their goodbyes. Rue and Ahiru hug as Mytho and Fakir fist bumping and smiling to each other. "Well I guess this is goodbye Fakir." "Let's hope that next time we drop by there won't be a war going on." Mytho laughs as everyone goes on their separate ways thru a series of portals.

"I can't believe i'm tasked with collecting Homura's ooze." Ashtamangala complains as he discovers Drosselmyer's corpse. Or at least what's left of it. Another figure then consumes the black miasma emanating from the corpse commenting "Well I love it. After this is some high quality essence!" With the voice being revealed to be Essence Stealer having come back from the dead. "Besides devouring this essence will maintain my eternal life and power." "Anyways you better get back. Otherwise Mami might get suspicious." "Yesss so I shall take my leave." Stealer teleports away mentally noting that the only essence piece left is within Touka. Who is now under the protection of those so called freedom fighters. Gazing up at the night sky and the town in the distance Ash is still surprised that she managed to survive. "Was this part of your plan Emperor Reibai?"

Castle Blade, Planet TK4221

After the whole adventure in Castle Siegfried the group of Kagemusha, Monika, Yuri, and Natsuki return to Castle Blade. Or what it seems to be. As they exit a starpost located in a strange room which connects to a series of hallways and tunnels with entire areas being composed of quantum computers, automated mining facilities long abandoned and frozen over. Research labs of all kinds. And hidden production lines all interconnected deep inside the planet's crust Confused at the situation. The girls demand an explanation as they walk thru the facility. With Natsuki noticing a hangar with a half dismantled Waltzer II cold climate type. A white and blue Waltzer lacking arms and having its upper body and lower body being separate. With the legs being thicker and with larger feet with heels possessing several smaller monopoles that allow it limited hovering. With its cyclopsian eyes that hide a twin visual camera system being replaced by an external headset with four lenses and three antennas. Two being on the ears and the third one being a commander fin. As well as a giant mecha side heat harpoon nearby created by Zeonic long ago.

"A hidden bunker from even before you and I were online Monika. I guess you could say that this was the original outpost before Castle Blade was built." A pissed off Monika screams at Kagemusha, asking why she wasn't told about it. A simply shows a datapad and explains. "That's why." With Monika's eyes opening in shock at she witnesses Ashtamangala murdering Lepard in cold blood before going on a rampage. It's tendrils annihilating all in his way after that before detonating the generators leading to a massive explosion that took out the castle. "It can't be! Does that mean that the Reibai are still out there somewhere?" The duo exit the bunker into the sheer cold. Their Hacker and Wizard forms protecting them and finding out that the castle and all of it's facilities have been wrecked. The Starpost system has been utterly demolished. And even the Hakubi was destroyed. Having been chucked outside with a massive hole piercing it's midsection with the insides frozen over.

The group searched the ruins of the castle. With Hacker and Wizard sifting thru the ruins and recovering whatever and whomever they could find. Most of the castle was wrecked with most of its machines and research destroyed. A group of Sumeragi's explain that a good chunk of them fled to Mobius and are now being in Green hills. With the remaining group staying to inform Kagemusha about the situation before leaving towards the hidden bunker. Where the group reaches one of the many hangars. This one still active and functional and maintaining what seems to be a new spaceship. Smaller and squatter than the Hakubi with the a saucer like appearance with a horseshoe shaped frame surrounding it that serves as the cockpit, wings, and engines. "The RRF-G121 Ginko Washu. The last of the Ginko series before the SkyFish series were adopted under the united maintenance plan. Of course this is a replica built as an emergency evacuation craft.

The group enters the ship were they see a ship that is larger on the inside. Amazing Natsuki and Yuri while Kagemusha continues explaining. "A pocket dimension system. Numerous pocket universes interconnected by hallways that serve as anchors to our reality." While Natsuki was amazed at it all. Yuri was doubtful, worrying about the safety of it all. As a Sumeragi trooper informs everyone that all of the surviving cargo has been loaded. "Well, let's head tom the bridge."

The Ginko Washu takes off from the ruins of Castle Blade and leaves the planet with no problems. With Kaworu Nagisa overlooking the launch. He is then met by a human woman in her lower thirties with long graying hair and brown eyes that seems to be phasing in and out of reality. "If it isn't miss Yuuki. I see that you are still alive. More or less." Yuuki merely glares at Kaworu as he continues to talk. "Unfortunately your husband isn't here. Still, this universe does have a way to the sixth realm. So what do you say? Team up?" The woman simply vanishes, leaving Kaworu offended. "Pity. I was hoping that you would help me to find Shinji. Anyways, if you ever change your mind. You know where I am." A portal opens behind the angel, consuming him and closing afterwards.

Apr 1, s.h. 8932 Planet Neo Edo, Steam Tokyo

Steam Tokyo is a large sprawling dome city located in the north pole from a barren dead world full of ruins from very long ago. Here steam is the primary energy source. As even though the would outside the colony is a wasteland of rusty floors and a thick steamy atmosphere. The planet is full of geothermal vents and large canyons that release gases which are harvested by the locals. Steam Tokyo itself, the capital of Neo Edo where a dark ritual is being concocted. Inside a dusty old warehouse Ciseaux is performing human sacrifice on three girls bound in chains. As the sky ruptures creating a gate to Mirror Tokyo as black blood pours from it consuming the girls.

"Okay let's see." Ciseaux remarks as he pulls out his copy of the Retconomicon. A book full of evil magical spells and rituals designed to retcon the universe. "Arise demon! Arise! Arise demon! Arise! Up up down down left right left right B and A!" A bolt of lightning then shattered the sacrificial tables as a young man rises for the chaos. "Ah yes, after the cataclysmic failure of Sakura Revolution am free! It is time for Valery Kaminsky to conquer Earth!" Kaminski, a handsome young blonde man wearing an expensive dress suit in black with a golden vest and wielding a fancy cane.

Ciseaux is over the moon thinking. "This is great! Cruel, deceitful, Russian! This truly is the ultimate evil that I was searching for!" A few seconds later. Ciseaux is on the verge of death begging for mercy. 'Wait! Wait! I submit!" Kaminsky grabs Ciseaux by the collar and tells him to explain himself and all that had happened since he was gone.

Outside in the Imperial revue theater. Sumire Kanzaki looks outside from a window as rain falls from the skies. "Once again it's raining. I suppose that it's to be expected with all the steam. I just hope that Princess Sally's team gets here." Sumire looks at the sky above. Her powers letting her see the seal in Mirror Tokyo shattering. "If only Sakura and the others were still around. Still the best we could do is seal them away that time. So if they escape."

To be continued...

The Japari park story is revving up for it's conclusion. Mainly because i'm running out of ideas for the plot and i'm getting bored. Also the Gundams getting wrecked is important as it is meant to introduce the gundam upgrades and redegins used in future appearances.

Tenga knight has several inspirations and components. Fakir's Tennou is based of one pieced mecha from Super Sentai like Ryuuseioh that can fight on their own and also combine. Rescue Voyager is based of GoGo Fire. A larger fire wagon mecha that travels alongside two smaller mecha that serves as limbs . With Scramble Aider and Dump serving as references to Carranger/Power rangers Turbo. With a pink ambulance and green dump truck serving as the Megazords limbs.

And yes the Combat revue BLACK girls have been killed off. I honestly couldn't find a reason to keep them around outside of a joke where they would still get killed off.
