Quiz forest, Japari park at night
Ost: Forest maze, Super Mario RPG
The ZAFT trio alongside Serval finally reached the Quiz forest. While the trio are rightfully concerned about the fate of the Friends. Serval not so much. "SUGOI! This is so amazing!" Ahtrun slams his hands on his knees, finally snapping in anger and frustration. "Seriously! What the hell is wrong with you?!" The ditzy Friend simply looks at Athrun in confusion. "Your friends are probably dead now and you're just..." Serval had stopped paying attention and is now trying to pounce on a butterfly. "That's it! I'm going to skin this stupid cat!" Kira and Shinn end up holding their friend back as the trio struggles with each other.
Long ago the Radiant ZAFT trio alongside Lalah Sune and the Tails doll were facing off against their universes version of Madoka Kaname. Who is holding a young girl in a miko outfit with long lilac hair and distinctive horns at gunpoint using a Desert eagle with a series of broken and jury rigged equipment. The other four members of the Puella magi quintet are all dead. Having taken each other out apparently. With Sayaka being riddled with bullets of all kings, Homura having her right arm cut off, her eyes gouged out, and her left arm pierced by a blade being run thru her, destroying the time stop buckler, Mami had her entire upper body torn apart, and Kyoko was just plain strangled to death, with all of her bones broken and organs crushed. While numerous white mobile elliptical turrets have been shut down and a giant machine lies smoldering on the floor, having been torn apart.
"I won't let you stop me!" Madoka screams with tears in her eyes while pointing her gun to a terrified Hanyuu Furude who had been hooked up to several cables that reach to the roof of a large circular room with a sterile and white appearance not unlike a giant iPod. Shinn bites back by saying. "Put down the gun or you'll get the Tails doll!" The doll pumps his fist claiming. "You do not want to feel the sunshine young lady!" "Put down the gun pinky!" "I plowed your mother last night!" Shinn loses it and tries to attack Madoka but is held back by Kira and Shinn as Lalah steps forward to talk Madoka down.
"Madoka. I know that things are hard now. That you have been hurting for a long time. But this is not the answer. Screwing around with reality isn't going to get your life back." The scene switches back to show the dead bodies of her companions then switches back to Lalah. "Besides if you do this. If you kill Hanyuu you would regret this in the rest of her life." Hanyuu then cuts in screaming. "Someone get me out this nano desu!" "Instead of violence, we should all just talk it out. After all, I may not be able to get Homura back. But I can be a shoulder to cry on." Madoka then just shoots Hanyuu point blank in the side of the head to everyone's horror as the machinery begins to activate and with it the facility begins to tremble and collapse. After getting over the initial shock Lalah screams to Madoka. "You little shit! You're nothing but a sanctimonious motherfucker! Just sit right there young lady as I pull out la chancla on your shorty ass!" Lalah now attempted to attack Madoka and its Kira who holds her back as the room breaks in half with the side where the ZAFT group fell down as Madoka's side collapses. With large pipes crushing the magical girl as she goes out in maniacal laughter. "We need to run, now!" Athrun remarks as they all flee. Leaping off the collapsing walkways as they fall apart and plummet onto the void.
The five members ran towards the escape pods but after realizing that each one can only hold three people at a time. They split into two groups and as they start up the pods in order to escape. The central core detonated as a flash of light that swallows up all the pods as the underground facility erupts in a colossal explosion that consumed all of reality. Ending the universe of ZAFT of the radiance ends, killing almost everyone as several craft like the Ptolemaous are swallowed by the explosion as dragged away into other realities.
"So you are Friends who are good at omnicide? SUGOI!" Serval cheers with all her might as the other three leave now that the train has reached its destination with Shinn telling Serval to move or get left behind.
The ZAFT trio heads inside the forest. Said forest is a massive maze of twisting paths and strange multicolored trees as well as the ruins of long forgotten attractions which have mostly decayed into dust. With only stone walls, the occasional metal component and the road that lead to the forest depths. Serval is running around the area with Athrun warning her to stay still as she heads inside a hollowed out tree trunk made into a tunnel. Disappearing in the process. After some discussion the ZAFT trio just presses onward. Genuinely not caring at all. "So what do we do about Serval?" Kira asked to which Athrun comments. "She'll be fine. It's not like that cat was guiding us anyways." The three realize that they are lost. Stuck in the middle of a pit full of roots and small waterfalls coming from numerous tunnels.
Several days later the starving ZAFT trio finally reach an altar with a book on it. Behind it is a stone gate being blocked by thick roots and vines. And they also find Serval cheerfully munching on Japari buns. An upset Athrun demands to know what happened to which Serval remarks that she was here for days hanging out at the camping site with a fully functional kitchen and lodgings. Leading Athrun to simply crack with Shinn just going off in the meantime. Leaving Kira and Serval to investigate the altar. "So what is this?" Kira asks as the altar has a tablet with odd glyphs carved on it. Serval looks like it and explains the situation explaining. "According to the glyphs this is the altar that leads to the Japari library. If you wish to enter the facility then you must cook yummy curry." Kira looks at Serval and asks. "Are you fucking serious?" To which the Friend nods in confirmation followed by Kira groaning in frustration.
After a long round of screaming Athrun returns to see Kira cooking curry alongside Serval. "What are you doing?" "What does it look like? I'm making curry." As Kira stirs the curry pot the trio notice an odd smell coming from afar. "What is that?" Athrun asks as a wildfire surges through the forest burning all in its path. Serval cowers behind Kira as she asks what is going on while the latter then asks where Shinn went off to. "Shit!" Athrun runs of towards the fire with the others in hot pursuit as the forest burnt.
They eventually find Shinn staring at the forest fire on his knees with a look of bewitched awe and worship. "Shinn what are you doing?!" Athrun yells at he grabs his junior and lifts him up. "The cleansing fire is GOD!" "Shit! His meds worn off!" Tree branches above the four snapped and fell on top of the ZAFT group but were saved by two flying creatures who take Kira, Athrunn, and Shinn away while Serval is left stuck alone giving chase.
The three then get tossed into the walls of Japari library where a grateful Kira and Athrun are met with assault rifles being pointed at the group. "We should kill these assholes assistant." "Yes professor, that would be most wise." The ones holding the weapons are two Friends of similar owl-like form. Konoha the Northern white face owl. The shorter professor of the duo with white spotted plumage and a gray furred coat. And Mimi the Eurasian eagle owl. The taller assistant with brown plumage and clothing. Kira screams "What is this place?! Texas?!" As both owls cock their guns as they prepare to pull the trigger leading to the three to panic and hug each other in fear.
As the fire burnt below a young man in a black plugsuit with white hair and red eyes smiled. With a snap of his fingers rain poured across the forest dousing the flames. "So this is the world where they landed. Too bad that Shinji-kin isn't here. Anyways there's no reason for me to remain here." The boy then looks above noticing a white and orange fighter jet flying towards the forest. It's distinctive characteristics being the green particles flying out as exhaust. "Not when they are here." The boy, Kaworu Nagisa opens a portal and leaves thru it.
Meanwhile on the other side of Japari park the Cellien priestess looks up at the moon. Remembering how her broken body was picked up by the Celliens on this facility. A so called Lunar cycle, a bunker designed to maintain itself for all eternity and using nanomachines to maintain its structure. Still unsure of why these creatures decided to save her, the priestess collects her thoughts.
"Yes the entire reason why I still live is because of these Celliens. But there is still so much I don't understand. Still all that matter is saving you Homura-chan. And for that I will use every tool at my disposal. Just like how used that oni girl Hanyuu."
Chapter 6: Colosso
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.
Mar 21 t.h. 8932, Bacanno tower, Planet Von Saturnus
Atop the polluted cityscape of Von Saturnus. Where the world is almost one giant polluted city controlled by criminals and ne'er do wells. City worlds are considered unwise and illegal. Due to the sheer logistics involved in maintaining a planet wide city. And the need of some sort of self-sufficiency. At least enough to maintain a population in the case of a cataclysm, a siege, or to simply lose contact with space. The fact that Von Saturnus is almost completely covered by miles of composite materials such as Artorium, Light Ceramic Titanium also known as Ceratanium, transparisteel, and datamaterial. Is proof that the world is part of mob space. Outside of the confines of the law. Atop all that is Bacanno tower where the mob rules over all.
Snively and Oriko were given the report by the Bouncers. The massive mechanical soldiers created by Snively and based off the old SWAT-bots of the Eggman empire. Snively had changed over the past half year having shaved off his remaining hairs and growing a thick red beard that covered his entire jaw. Replacing his GUN uniform with a cheesy green pinstripe suit and holding a glass of expensive wine in his hand. Oriko then steps in reminding Snively to not jump the gun. The latter simply shrugs it off noting. "I'm well aware of that senator. And what about you? After all if the separatists find you then you will be in trouble." Oriko simply sits on a nearby chair and clasps her hands with a devious smirk. "Do not worry Snively. Also is the special machine ready?" "The Adonis? It's ready. Of course it would require energy output greater than a magi driver engine can give. It would need something like..." Oriko cuts him off and comments. "The Chaos emeralds." Something that catches the scientist's attention as the silver haired politician continued. "Or something with a similar output. Like a certain mutant girl. Snively breaks into an utter manic grin as a bound Nanairo Meido is bound to the engine of a giant mecha. "Yes! With this I will finally get my revenge on Ivo! That fool never understood my ambition! And GUN is always harping about peace and equality! If we were allowed to go all out those animals would have been ground underfoot." Oriko takes notices and warns her companion to watch his words. To which the runt scoffed.
"I have always found the mechanica mechanica convention to be a bother Oriko. Civil rights for AI, the creation of drones for manual labor, the prevention of certain kinds of robotics research. Bah! Machines are meant to serve humans. Not stand alongside as equals. Is the reason why I joined Robotnik in the first place. A universe for humans, where all dissent is crushed by my mechanical heel." Remarks which shock even a vengeful Machiavellian sociopath like Oriko. Who suddenly remembered her goals. To get revenge on those who killed Kirika Kure. Especially with what Touka did.
T.h. 5013: Satomi institute, Frontier 554
Oriko, who at this point was still a senator of the IFS entered a room where she met Touka Satomi who was also still a IFS researcher. The two remained unchanged physically since the days of the magical girl war. Having obtained a sort of immortality after both Kagami Ichijin and Kagemusha struck down Kyubey in his final stand. Essentially remaining unchanging until recently after the war ended. Just like how Oriko became a politician. Touka used her skills as a researcher specializing in biology and medicine. With the former joining out of respect for her dead parents and the latter being happy that she and her best friends were cured by the aliens medical technology. "So, what do you want Touka?" "It's not Touka! It's Touka!" There was a brief moment of embarrassing silence as Touka realized that her name was not mispronounced. "Anyways, I summoned you here to tell you that we managed to resurrect Kirika Kure." Something that the senator notices. "Take a look." Touka points to the windows which show the floor below where a stasis pod is being kept as remote controlled drones are being retracted.
The other scientists readied the systems as their leader activated the stasis pod. Causing gas to erupt from the pod as the door shot out outside as frigid gases blind the room as something exits the pod. As shambling steps and a red laser sight pierce thru the mist. The steam is vented, revealing a horrifying sight. A half human half skeletal machine horror. With Kirika a young slim girl with black bob cut hairstyle with a right citrine eye and a mechanical laser pointer for a left. With her black longcoat being altered with additional bone white armor with black striping plating all over her body, Giving her a jagged spiky look as she sprouts large beam claws from her giant sleeves. Roaring into the skies and showing her teeth. Which are all sharp piranha teeth and sticking out a long prehensile tongue.
An overjoyed Touka screams. "Say hello to the future of warfare! Project Blight! With this we will no longer the Reibai to produce weapons for us! And the Satomi institute will make so much fucking money!" Leading an enraged Oriko to slog her scientist into the floor and then beat her down. With some of the crew tries to break up the fight and others calling for security. "I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Oriko screams as she summons one of her orbs to her hands and uses it to bash Touka's face in. Crushing her nose and breaking some teeth as blood is drawn. It's then that Guardsmen restrain Oriko and drag her away. With the Puella magi swearing bloody vengeance on everyone.
Back at the present Oriko looks on with glee. The Incubators who first killed Kirika are gone and soon both Touka and the IFS who defiled her corpse will fall. She will avenge her but turning that Nemu girl into a freak wouldn't be enough. They will all perish by her hands. And as Oriko gloated, Snively was in the background making a call. "Rossini call Mr. Carpaccio, I need a favor."
Granta station, Planet Shratta
A certain detective was looking at Tails haggling for repairs and docking to an egg shaped creature with legs and two assistants. Carlos Cottora a former IFS investigator. Because unlike characters like Sayaka and Kyoko who were abandoned and discarded. Had actually went AWOL after the kidnapping of his charge, Nanairo Meido. Having reached Granta station four months previously and blending himself amidst the scum and villainy.
"That runt looks familiar." Carlos noted as he stalked Tails across the docks until being confronted a pair of guardsmen who recognize Carlos and aim their guns at him. Only for the parrot anim to toss two coins and then ricochet the bullets of his revolves at them. Striking both officers in a weak spot in the jugular. While driver avatars are far more protective than body armor. They have several in built weaknesses to prevent their usage against the government. Such as specific strike points at the joints which can knock out limbs or kill people. Carlos leaves as both Guardsmen bleed out. Being ignored by everyone. "Shit! I forgot that this is the annual Colosso!" The detective cursed as he blended into the crowd.
The scene shifts to the outer rings of Granta station known as the resort area. Granta itself is two saucer shaped stations hidden in the chasm of Granta canyon. The lower, larger one is where most of the facilities are. With the smaller upper saucer being a shuttle bay and dock. With both saucers being connected by a massive metal pillar as durable as a tower. All kept hidden with a scrambling fog that is emitted from the canyon walls. The outer rings themselves are a chaotic mess of hallways, lifts, and rooms. If the top saucer is based off a traditional airport. Then the bottom is an overcrowded and chaotic city of 200 million permanent residents in a saucer with a 60 mile radius. Crime and overcrowding are a common sight. To the point where no one bats an eye when cops kill each other in public. In floor 50 of 200 there is a food and drink stall where Sonic, Knuckles, and Amy trying to get a read on Gekkou. Who was silently slurping a bowl of Lao Mang Lone soup. A bowl of Chinese noodle soup famous for utilizing dragon meat as toppings and ox bones as soup stock. "Isn't that stuff expensive?" Knuckles remarks noticing that Lao Mang soup tends to be 12,000 to 75,000 Meseta per bowl. Gekkou simply looks at the trio and says. "I have the money. Besides they used to farm dragons in Kowloon." The three furries notice the name Kowloon. The lunar city of the dragonkin now destroyed due to the fighting. "Wait, are you?" Gekkou nods in confirmation towards Amy and notes. "Yes, I am part of the Jo family who used to be in charge of Kowloon before the Vy family came along." The trio just stood there silently before Amy uttered a meek apology. "It's fine. The Vy family was our sworn rivals. The Jo sought to maintain neutrality, but the Vy wanted to return to Mobius and get revenge for our ancestors. The Vy slaughtered my clan and they would have gotten to me if Captain Iroha didn't interfere." A furious Amy screams. "Why is every major clan in this franchise out to kill each other?!"
A group of Bouncers and organic thugs wearing mass produced Ride trooper avatars. A heavily customizable variant for civilian use. With the space mafia variant wearing the same black trench-coats and fedoras of the Bouncers with the fedora being built into the helmet with a crimson colored large T-shaped visor. And packing Pancor Jackhammers and blaster rifles. With the Jackhammers being a large boxy combination of an assault rifle and a shotgun with a drum fed clip for ammunition. While originally impractical, the driver systems physical enhancement had make such heavy weaponry viable again as even civilian usage standard Ride troopers can easily lift 300 pounds.
passing thru the interconnected hallways being led by a nine foot tall black human with a white, bushy beard and sunglasses that he never removes. Wearing a white suit and vest with a blood red corsage in his lapel. Holding a couple of walnuts in his left hand fiddling them around. As the fearful crowd parts at their presence. They find their target at the small run down eatery serving all sorts of odd foods still attempting to converse with Gekkou who is now going thru several plates composed of Jalfrezi Roc, Thai red curry, and Monitori salad. A bean and chili salad surrounded by a circle of smoked plantain leaves with Knuckles trying to get some of the food only for Gekkou to slap him away. One of the mobsters points to the group as they barge in to the eatery. Causing everyone else inside to flee in a panic. The groups meet each other with Sonic asking if they can help them.
Gawain Carne
Dark knight of the sun
Theme of Space mafia: Traitors requiem, JoJo's bizzare adventure op 2
Gawain looks at the blue blur and somberly states. "Sonic the hedgehog, our engineer wants to have a word with you. I advise that you come with us." Sonic notices that the other goons are readying their weapons while Knuckles and Amy ready themselves for a brawl. Gekkou meanwhile is still eating, seemingly uncaring about the situation. One of the goons Pesci gets into Sonic's face. "What's a matter bambino?! You know that you are being summoned right?!" Pesci then pulls out a gun at Sonic, which the latter grab and transmits a powerful jolt of energy that goes thru the gun and straight to the shark anim leaving him unconscious as Gawain kicks Pesci away. Knuckles asked who this engineer is to which he gets. "Apparently he knows you by name. I believe his name is Kintobor. Now come." Upon hearing that the three silently agreed to fight. With Sonic spin dashing into Gawain's chest. With Knuckles and Amy taking on the rest. Easily dealing with the mobsters but with the Bouncer's actually holding their own. Tanking Knuckles body blows and Amy's raketenhammer overhead smash attack.
Sonic loses momentum and is shocked to see that Gawain grabbed the hedgehog and began squeezing him. Crushing the blue blur's chest, the pain making Sonic unable to go Super and with Gawain no-selling Sonic's electrical discharges and cutting gale winds before tossing him out of a ledge. Down twenty floors and slamming onto a crowded walkway with Gawain leaping off in hot pursuit. Crashing on the same walkway and snapping it into pieces, causing him, Sonic, pieces of the walkway and several people caught in the crossfire. Crashing thru numerous floors until slamming onto the bottom floor alongside Sonic. With metal and people falling along the way as Sonic, who notices that his quills have been seared off making him look like his classic era self. And Gawain who is shown to have mechanical armor beneath his organic skin. Showing a mechanical endoskeleton with a glowing central orb and green energy lines around it. "What are you, one of Snively's robots?!" "My name is Gawain Carne. The Don's right hand man and a full conversion cyborg." Sonic looking concerned is forced to dodge a rushing punch that misses and caves the ground after striking it. Sonic then proceeds to run circles around Gawain, leaving a large number of afterimages that manage to confuse the giant. "Well I know Khan and Kagemusha. And compared to those two you're as slow as molasses." Sonic then charges from a downward angle and lands a sweeping kick on Gawain's neck causing a loud impact that could be heard from across the room. He then grabs Sonic's legs and tosses him straight into a wall causing it to shatter and leave a large hole which is completely wrecked when his opponent grabs the metallic wall and rips it open, tossing the remains aside as if it was nothing. Sonic meanwhile is showing a pure WTF face as he is rag-dolled into the ground by Gawain. A beating only stopped when Caliburn interfered. "Yellow joy piercing!" Repeatedly stabbing the enemy before consuming him in an erupting pillar of water. "And now! Aqua pleasure sea!" And then landing on Sonic's hand. "Now Sonic!" Sonic nods as he goes Super as Caliburn's blade glows white as both scream. "White wish finish!" Cutting the geyser in half as a massive explosion erupts into the sky. Sonic smirks in victory before being shot by a series of eye beams as a skinned Gawain has managed to survive the attacks. Only losing his skin and revealing something straight out of the Terminator, only with his nice suit remaining intact. "Son of a bitch!" Sonic is forced into the defensive as Gawain continued to fire of his eye beams.
Knuckles and Amy ran to a confused Tails who was aiding with the ship repairs. "Tails we need to go!" Amy yells to a confused Tails. "What's going on? And where are Sonic and Gekkou?" A pair of dismembered bodies falls from the ceiling as Gekkou then joins the bodies sheathing her sword. "Sonic was chucked down a chasm by a scary black guy." Tails simply looks confused as Knuckles confirm that it actually happened as more minions burst into the docks. Gekkou readied her sword with a savage grin as the others dragged her away as the mafia swarmed the place. "We need to go Gekkou!" Tails orders as he hopes that Kon will be alright inside the ship.
Bridge, Starpatrol
Kon Konshuu was spending his time of the bridge kicking back and waiting while reading an old porno magazine. Having gone thru several alcoholic beverages the dog is falling asleep due to the booze.
As he passes out Kon dreams of the past and the days before his old crew and captain were butchered. Much like now he was dead drop drunk in the bridge as Ashtamangala was scolding him. "Did you really crash the computers again? Seriously Kon, how could you crash the system like that?" Kon whines as he vomits on the pilot's console which is sparking because of the bottle of sake slammed into it. "There was a fly on the wall!" "That is a computer. Or was one since you are so damn drunk and so damn strong that you caved in the damn thing with a bottle. And now we're stranded on dark space unable to call for help." Kon simply brushes it off as he uses his internal terminal to bypass the bridge controls activating a pair of Bulldoras, a mass produced drone version of Ash designed to maintain the ship. The Doras were similar to Ash with the same height and less weight. With a smaller more mobile cyclops head with mobile skirt plates that serve as protection. Giving its lower half the appearance of a closed off cream colored flower. Which quickly went on to fix the console and alongside other units that went to the engines repaired, their plates shifting to allow their numerous metal rods which transform into various tools. All the while Kon watched in a drunken stupor.
The scene shifted to other times where Ash fixed the stuff that Kon broke while sloshed. Unbeknownst to the robot he was being watched even when drunk. Somehow learning how to do those things as well, and putting it to practice in simulators. After finishing a training program he is found out by the rest of the crew who looked on in approval.
Kon is suddenly jolted awake by blaring sirens. His thoughts were of disbelief that Ash would betray them. Kon realizing something he shuts down the sirens and begins to work on the consoles. Noticing that Tails never reactivated the ships secondary systems for some reason. Which is odd since Tails does not make these kinds of oversights. Nonetheless Kon activated the Bulldoras and set them to both repair and guardian modes before opening another bottle of sake.
The scene cuts to the engine room were a group of mobsters and guardsmen alongside a pair of bouncers were securing the place and attempting to crack the security system and take control of the sealed off drive engines. A series of large conical devices capable of perpetual motion via the usage of mana. These six engines are placed cone down in a large rectangular motor that interlinks the engines and converts the mana into electricity. While the exhaust takes the form of green particles which are ejected as thrust. Large engines often require a two floor tall deck in order to maintain the drives and store spare or additional units. With the engine itself being sealed off to ensure that wasted heat does not enter the inside of the ship. The room lights up as the workers cheer that they finally have access. Only for the motor to remain locked. "Hey what's going on?!" A mobster complains as a Guardsmen notes. "We need to do this. The grand general wants this ship and its crew. Now get to work!" The group continues to work as Bulldoras gathered behind them. It took a while but they finally noticed that they were surrounded. "What is going on? The lead Guardsmen asked as the Doras super-heated metal rods shredded thru the invaders causing blood to stain the ground and wars and body parts to fly off. With some of them getting crushed or having their heads caved in alongside other brutal executions. Then the majority of the machines spread out across the ship. While a compliment remains to fix the damages and scooping up the broken robots all the while the detransformed corpses are melted down with a highly acidic spray and then vacuum up the slurry in order to use it as biomass.
A duo of guardsmen are waiting in a hut in the middle of a tropical coastline. One of them just leans there bored while the other one is drinking Pina skullada. A drink made of rum, pineapple juice, the brain matter and blood of a human. Served either blended or shaken with ice and poured into a human skull to serve as a glass. "Want some? It's good!" One of the guardsmen asked the other who angrily replied. "No! Also do you know what's in that stuff?" "People?" "Yes, so why the shit are you being a cannibal?!" The guardsmen continues to drink as he goes on a tangent involving his partner and his eating habits as well as wondering why would anyone and create an entire beach resort inside a deck. The third one then got out of the hut cursing his fate. "Fucking blue hair bitch! She peed on me!" As the three chat a Doras heads towards them and stares at them with the trio staring back. With the skullada drinking Guardsman asking. "And you are?" The robot fired off multiple rods that left the man into a bloodied chunk of Swiss cheese. The others draw their guns and shoot the Bulldoras to pieces before more of them ambush the remaining two and tears the minions apart.
As the ship was being cleansed in fire. Kon is asleep thru it at all. Even as the group that was meant to take the bridge was ripped apart right outside.
Cargo room, Starpatrol
"Kyoko-chan... I need to pee." Sayaka bemoans as both magical girls remain inside the crate they used to enter the ship, being completely unaware of all that happened outside. "Do you really need to do this now Sayaka?!" "We haven't gotten out of the crate for like a week." Kyoko groans in frustration towards Sayaka. "Please Kyoko-chan! I need to go!" "(sigh) Fine, to be fair I'm hungry. I wonder if we can get some food from the ship. The duo open the crate from the inside only to find that a Bouncer was investigating the cargo hold. Training a rifle on them as he called for help. As other mobsters surrounded the girls with rifles with laser sights trained on their heads. The two are forced to raise their hands and get cuffed by the mob then taken away. Sayaka complains that she needs to pee to which Kyoko told her to go on the floor. Which she does, surprising the goons which Kyoko uses to body check one bouncer, judo flip the other one into the first one. And then takes Sayaka by the hand to safety as the mafioso open fire on the two.
Team Sonic also headed towards the Starpatrol only to find that it has been overrun by space mafia, their bouncers and even several flavors of Guardsmen. As the group hides behind a stack of crates and components, Knuckles asks. "Why are there Guardsmen here?" Gekkou replies with. "They have always been in cahoots. Mafia space is no man's land. No police, no nothing. So the IFS makes under the table deals here. Especially during Colosso." "I've been hearing that from the dock workers. That Colosso is starting tomorrow. And that we should stay so see it." Gekkou somberly notes. "It's a blood sport Tails. Colosso is one giant gladiatorial arena. Home to every fucked up act of violence you can imagine. Gladiatorial combat, public executions, fighting wild beasts and monsters, Mario kart races, giant mecha fights, massive historical set piece battles where hundreds of prisoners fight to the death, and the occasional cock fight. And tomorrow, the Colosso begins. The biggest tournament of the year. Where countless big shots come to watch and bet on the fights." Both Knuckles and Amy react in disgust while Tails notes that things like this are just common. Remembering his time in the Les infantes terribles program.
As they prepare to enter the Starpatrol. Everyone notices Sayaka and Kyoko fleeing from the Starpatrol with goons chasing after them. Then a man's voice is heard from behind Team Sonic causing them to spring into action. The parrot man simply raises his hands and attempts to charm the group into standing down. "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You guys are getting chased by those goons. So that means that we are allies." Gekkou notices and asks. "Carlos Cotorra?" "Hey little oujo-sama, how long has it been since Kowloon?" The others look at Gekkou as Carlos explains things. "You see, this little lady is the last of the old rulers of the moon. The neutral faction that wanted to remain hidden in the moon. Of course they were wiped out by the Vy who then allied with the Reibai." "Carlos, where is Nanairo?" The parrot anim grows somber stating. "She was kidnapped and sent here. By Snively Kintobor." The senior members of team Sonic stood silent with Knuckles noting. "So he really did turn traitor again?" They are interrupted by an Alzak guard with a pair of shotguns which is shot dead by Carlos who pulls out a modified large revolver with an extended gun barrel that can fire magnum caliber shells and blowing up his head into red mist. "Let's move!"
Sonic is still fighting Gawain. Switching tactics and targeting the joints of the cyborg. Finally causing damage much to the latter's surprise. "I see." Caliburn remarks. "Unlike driver avatars, plate armor has openings in their joints. Not bad, Sonic! It seems you've improved from your days a knave." Sonic looks annoyed but is forced to evade more of Gawain's eye beams and a homing plasma barrage fired from his chest which opens up to reveal a plasma launcher system. As Sonic runs away at top speed to avoid the blasts dodging at the last second every time to cause the blasts to miss and blow up nearby objects before sliding down a hover-car which is blown up by the last sabot. As Sonic then boosts up the walls of the nearby buildings before leaping into a service ladder which he uses to escape. Leaving his pursuers in the dust as the living blade complains on how uncivilized this all was. "Seriously Sonic turning your back to the enemy like that." "Hate to break it to you Caliburn. But this isn't Camelot. Also we need to find the others." "Oh, damn." Caliburn remarks as he completely forgot why he came in the first place.
Gawain meanwhile finally has his injuries catch up to him. And the internal components overheat and short out and his plasma launchers overload. Causing them to explode as Gawain falls to his knees, His voice screaming in pain as it is distorted by electronic noises. "How dare he! How dare he! How dare that rat wound me!" He is then interrupted by a communication informing to located a certain trio of traitors and eliminate them. Refusing at first until he is electrocuted by a kill switch system inside his frame. After a minute or so of pain, Gawain reluctantly goes off to do the mafia's bidding.
Later on Sayaka and Kyoko escaped the shootout and looked for a place to hide in the garbage and ruins of the under levels. "This is crazy!" Kyoko yelled in frustration. "What else could go wrong?!" As if on cue Gawain bursts into the scene. Clutching his chest as his smoldering body sparked. The two Puella magi readied themselves to fight only for Gawain to bombard them with his eye beams to the point that they both pass out from the burns. Afterwards the cyborg grabs both girls and tosses them over his shoulders as a portal activates to pick him up.
Later that night in Baccanno tower.
Gawain exits the portal, carrying Sayaka and Kyoko in hand. Where he is met by several faces. Oriko Mikumi of course but also a dinosaur skeleton similar to a T. Rex but only three feet tall and having working arms sitting on a large throne. Wearing a white tuxedo and bowler hat, with the tux open in the middle to show more off his bones. And a large blood red bow tie. A walking talking lump of hair with a horned viking cap, large human feet, and a cheerful smile plastered on his face at his side. And the grand general herself Mami Tomoe.
Gawain looks at the group start ing from the dinosaur, to the furball, to the white haired magical girl. Puts down the prisoners and remarks. "Don Capo, Master Erik, Miss Oriko, and this is?"
Capo Carpaccio
The don of the space mafia
Erik "Cioccolata" Galling
The head chef
Capo introduces their guest as Mami Tomoe. She is the one who personally ordered the capture of the ship and its crew. And this year's IFS representative during Colosso. Mami looks at the magical girl duo who are on the ground and binds them with her ribbons. Then pulls out a musket while aiming it at Kyoko. "If only you girls stayed with me instead of opposing the incubators. We wouldn't be in this mess." Capo then says. "Wait! Why don't you sell these two to me?" Mami replies that they are fourteen and fifteen. To which Capo shouts. "Even better! We can use them as props, AND, sell them off to the church! They're always looking for young virgins to use as breeding factories after all!" Everyone else shudders in disgust before Mami agrees to the sale. And then reminds the mobsters that they need to catch the hedgehog and company. Even though she also has no idea why does Barragan want him for. Leaving the large, gaudy, and pillar filled room. Exiting thru a pair of massive doors which are opened by a pair of goons. Then leaves thru the right passageway.
Erik then breaks the atmosphere by asking in a very thick Swedish accent. "So how do we catch the supersonic blue hedgehog?" Capo stares silently knowing that they have no plan. Oriko simply states that she will ask Snively for help before leaving. Capo then tells Gawain to get fixed which he complies. Also leaving thru the same door and then heads to the left passageway. Capo and Erik then look at the bound Sayaka and Kyoko and smile back to each other. With the former telling the latter to get things ready.
The slums of Granta
Team Sonic, now with Kon and Carlos joining them were forced to leave the station and Sonic behind. Their hopes is that Sonic will find them and the ships restored auto repair and defense systems will protect the ship. Hiding in the rusted and bombed out cityscape outside the station. Where the unwanted were left for themselves. A shanty town built from the abandoned refuse of the space mafia. With buildings made of mishmash junk parts tossed away by others in a dry, and arid land. Those who live here eke out a living away from the eyes of the mob, which in Granta is the law and the government. Of course as Carlos notes it is a wonderful place to hide as no one dares to come here. And that he had spent at least two months hiding from the guardsmen.
Knuckles bemoans if everyone is as crooked out there to which Kon replies. "It wasn't always like this. Back when Kagemusha was in charge of the Burial fleet she would have never allowed things like this. Say what you want about her and the Reibai. But they kept us safe for millennia." The group wanders around the city with Carlos taking charge. With Amy noticing that everyone is wary of everyone else as she looks to a mother shielding her child. With the woman having lost an entire right arm and having burns on her face. "How can this?" "This is where the people who fall thru the cracks live." Gekkou remarks with Kon explaining. "There has always been people who turn to crime. Even during the golden age. But many can't cut it. They either get arrested, killed, or force to flee. This place is were generations of petty criminals hide. Around here there are no CR chambers or alchemical furnaces so the people need to rely on old medicine and smuggled items. There is also farming and ranching in the outskirts and these towns are often build beneath aquifers. Tails looks up at the purple sky wondering where Sonic is.
Day shifts into night and thanks to Carlos the group found an inn to stay in. A quiet place made from a repurposed Ginko Rafflesia which had its weapons and external plating stripped. With the plating replaced with cheaper, more common plating and even the odd brick wall. Tails is outside staring at the sky. Witnessing the two moons above. One larger and the other being much smaller. "How are we going to do this?" Tails muses as he tries to contact Sonic, only to no avail. As only static could be heard from the drivers communication function. "Don't bother Tails." Kon remarks as he holds another sake bottle which he takes a swig of. "This place has its wireless communications jammed. How else do you think shadowports can operate? Anyways you should go back inside. The misses says that its Mahjong night." Tails sighs and follows the dog anim inside.
Some time has passed and the group is well into their games. That is until the old CRT television has an emergency broadcast. The misses tells everyone to watch as something huge must be going on.
"Tomorrow night on Colosso!"
The commercial begins by showing the logo of both the space mafia and Colosso. An upside down bone white pentagram with a small pair of horns and singular red eye. Alongside shredding metal music.
"It's that time of the year! The Great Lemuria tournament! The universe's number one, unrated, unethical, and completely underground fighting tournament! Fragging you live, straight from the Coliseum! Every year the greatest warriors in the universe come to Von Saturnus to die for your amusement and this year is no different! BTB, we have a couple of special guest joining us!"
Team Sonic watched on as they show off the insides of a cockpit that shows a pink haired young girl with a braided lock on the left being connected to said cockpit. With the camera then panning to show the completed Adonis docked inside a hangar. Cottora panics and runs towards the streets where he flags a car, forces the driver out, and speeds away while everyone goes outside the inn. With Tails and Knuckles futilely try to stop him. Kon attempts to help but gets easily winded. With Amy and Gekkou heading to help the little old lady with thick glasses who screams. "Give me back my frikking car you cunt!"
"And that's not all folks! This year we have a special prize to give! Not only will these fierce yet strapping gladiators compete for money, fame, and bitches. But a years supply of chili dogs!"
Tails is stunned speechless as he realizes that this is a trap for them. Using the hostage and chili dogs to lure us out. "Hopefully, Sonic won't take the bait." As if on cue a familiar blue blur races thru the streets into the distance while leaving a sonic boom.
"So what are you waiting for! You have until midnight tonight to register! Or a goddamn pussy!? Huh, are ya!? Well come get some you acorn dicked freak!"
Then Knuckles gets riled but is stopped by Tails who electrocutes him until losing consciousness. And then lifted by Kon as they leave the area in order to sneak in on a shuttle to Von Saturnus.
Colosso, Von Saturnus the day after
Theme of Colosso
Colosso, Golden Sun remastered
Team Sonic finally reached the massive infrastructure that is Colosso stadium. It is said that the arena was designed off the Roman Colosseum at its peak only far larger. With a mile long and half mile wide construction and five stories tall. With the outside being very much like its inspiration. A circle of interconnected arches built from stone and polished marble, bound together by Roman concrete which was rediscovered by analyzing ruins with alchemical machines, and neon lights alongside large floodlights in the floor. With the inside being a standard modern sports stadium in the distant future.
The group was waiting in line since five in the morning in hopes to enter quickly. But they were foiled by a massive line of people that have been here since yesterday. With several campsites located around the rocky terrain. They were in front of two tattooed punks screaming and playing vuvuzelas. And behind them is a vaping treant that is both rotting away and spewing smoke to Knuckles, who is utterly losing it. And the others are in varying states of discomfort. With Tails being right under the smoking tree guy. "(cough) (cough) Whoever said that vaping is harmless is a fucking liar..." As the line refused to move a familiar cyborg appeared next to them. Flanked by several armed guards in tow. Team Sonic looks at Gawain who begins speaking. "Team Sonic, I see that you have come." Gekkou draws her sword at Gawain which doesn't really surprise anyone, to the surprise of the mobians. "Sheathe your sword. I merely came to take you to the VIP room." That is when those who are in the line become belligerent and violent. With the treant being especially uppity. Gawain simply punches a doughnut hole in his head killing him in one punch. With Knuckles smiling in approval as the group is led inside Colosso.
Inside the coliseum, Sonic and Carlos are indeed locked up inside. Although Sonic questions if this a good idea, Carlos reassures him that it is. Then coming down a rotating stairway, with a smug look on his face. Snively Kintobor smiled at Sonic while mocking him. "Well, well, well. To think that the great Sonic the hedgehog could be so easily captured? Ivo really has lost his touch." Sonic bites back with. "And I see that you're even uglier than before! Are you really trying to back the Gordon Gekko look? Because if you are, you've fallen hard Colin!" Snively's smile quickly turns into a bitter scowl as he loses his cool. "Laugh while you can rodent! Now that my Adonis is complete I will not only kill you. But take this to Mobius to get my revenge on Eggman!" Sonic somberly notes. "Eggman's dead. I killed him." After a moment of somber silence Snively breaks out in manic laughter as he stares at the blue blur with a nightmarish grin. "So, you finally grew a pair and took him out?! You should have done that years ago!" Sonic lashes back with. "I'm not a killer like you!" The bars electrocute Sonic as he flies into a wall to which Carlos helps him get up. "Calm down lad. I'm pissed off too but you need to be at full strength."
Snively concludes his rambling with. "By the way. I know you got captured on purpose." A statement that leaves Carlos stunned something that Snively notices. "Oh? You didn't know? Sonic could have easily busted out by now. But then again he knows that he cannot beat my Adonis. Not as long as that mutant is used as the power core." Snively then leaves the prisoners to stew in their cell. The blue blur is then forced to acknowledge. "Still, I have to admit, if I hold back we will be killed." Carlos then states. "Then maybe we should form a plan."
Switching scenes to the stadium itself. The opening ceremonies have just started and Team Sonic is led towards the VIP seats where they meet two others. Sumire Kanzaki the CEO and owner of the Kanzaki heavy industries. A middle aged human woman with short red hair and a short ponytail. Wearing a fancy and very expensive purple kimono with a white sash and feather pauldrons. Fanning herself with an old paper fan. And to everyone's surprise Mami Tomoe, something that places everyone in a stand-off. At least until Sumire cuts the tension with. "Okay, okay, we all came to enjoy ourselves. AND this is neutral territory, so let's all enjoy the show. Everyone stands down and begins to watch the show. With Amy noticing Sumire. "You're Sumire Kanzaki, right? Amy asks, looking starstruck while at it. Sumire herself laughs and asks. "So you've heard of me huh?" The pink hedgehog explains. "You were this famous actress years ago. But you suddenly retired one day without an explanation." Tails adds "I heard that you are the CEO of Kanzaki heavy industries, a famous engineering company that goes back for 250 years now." Gekkou remarks "Well I heard that you were the test pilot of the original Kobu and a member of the first Imperial combat revue." Knuckles notes that the lady has impressive resume while Kon is already helping himself to the expensive wine on the nearby table. Much to the annoyance of Mami who swipes it off the anim's hands and chucks it away.
"All of it is true dearies." Sumire remarks and then points out to Mami Tomoe. "And this is Mami Tomoe. Grand general of the IFS armed forces. And the leader of the Masquerades." Tails, Knuckles, and Amy are shocked to hear it. While Gekkou can barely contain her anger. Mami then stares at Gekkou noting. "Ah yes, I remember now. You're the moon princess. No, former moon princess." The Mobians also take note of the revelation as Mami taunts the dragonkin. Gekkou simply retorts with. "I see that your girl is still dead. Still an eight year old?" Mami quickly loses her cool and summons a musket while Gekkou summoned her sword. The latter stated. "Bring it you pedophile." With the former stating. "I'm going to kill you now. Just like how I killed your mommy and daddy."
Outside in the arena, the games were already starting. With the MC, a mobian rat with neon green fur, a LED visor with a purple open vest and gloves with golden straps and lacking his right ear as it was cut off long ago. Who is hyping up the audience with his hammy performance. "EVERYBODY! ITS. TIME. FOR. COLOSSOOOOO!" As the crowd cheers the rat takes in the crowd with a sense of pride. "Anyways i'm the master of murdering ceremonies! The rat with the gab, Tenori Rossini!
Tenori Rossini
The rat with the gab
And now a word from the boss of the space mafia and our most gracious host. Capo Carpaccio!" Atop all the other seats even the VIP benches there is a special room designed for the boss' private use. From there a massive holoscreen appeared. Not only showing Capo. But also Gawain with Sayaka and Kyoko being chained up and forced to wear metal bikinis. Much to their humiliation and dismay. "Good day to everyone. As you know when I started both this famiglia in Neo Italy during the golden age. I was a young handsome man, and I had flesh and skin. Unlike now. Anyways now together we have created the largest criminal syndicate in history. And with that Colosso was born. A place where the bloodthirsty like you can indulge in the most illegal of vices. It is my sincere hope that you will be entertained and that you will spend large amounts of money. Betting on the official Colosso casino. Where you can watch the fights as the house fleeces you for all you're worth. Tenori?"
"Such wise words from our boss!" Tenori remarks while crying waterfalls. "Anyways the rules are simple. There are no rules. Well, there is one, make it flashy. After all this is being broadcast live all across the universe. We have viewers and of course sponsors to please. But before that we have a special exhibition match for you all." A large gate opens up as Sonic and Carlos are let out using gladiator clothing. With Sonic wearing a Dimachareus suit. Using both Caliburn and a trigger wispon in sword mode. With Caliburn himself wearing a tiny Murmillo face mask. And Carlos was dressed as a Retiarus, wielding a net yet lacking a trident. Instead using his revolver instead. To the dramatic sound of a row full of trumpeters. "It's this really a good idea Carlos?" Sonic asks again while Caliburn simply chuckles. "Well I find this rather enjoyable. And I wonder if I can get one of this masks in the souvenir shop." Sonic just gives off an annoyed reaction as Carlos tries to reassure the duo. With Snively entering thru the opposite gate wearing a Rudiarus outfit complete with wooden sword. Who unlike his opposites is enjoying the adulation of the masses.
The foursome meet at the center of the arena with Snively confidently sneering at Sonic who sneers back and tries to rush Snively only for a golden shield to block his attacks with Snively laughing all the way. "Always impulsive, huh rodent? But this time, it ends! Arise my mecha! Arise!"
Ost: Colosso battle theme, Golden sun
The center of the arena explodes as the Adonis flies upwards at top speeds to the roaring cheers of the crowds. With the sheer force of the explosion tossing chunks of debris that cause considerable and kill a good number of spectators. Being crushed by several tons of rock and metal. With those around said crushees enjoying the show much to Sonic and Caliburn's horror. All the while Carlos tries to gun down Snively only to be teleported and replaced with Oriko leading to a precision F-strike being uttered by the former agent. "Well, well, well, I see you turned traitor as well, Cotorra. Tell me, how does it feel to have your loved ones turned into tools?"The Adonis then fires its four vulcan cannons which all three have to dodge. Sonic then asks if he knows her to which Carlos explains that she is a veteran of the magical girl war, that she can see the future, and threat wise is on the level of Mami and Kagemusha. News that Sonic does not enjoy as the giant robot fires off an array of scattering beam cannons from its hands that total the remainder of the arena. Things get worse as another explosion rocks the VIP seats as the rest of Team Sonic are chased by Mami into the arena. With Tails, Knuckles, and Amy in their super forms, Gekkou transformed into Crossbone, and Kon being barraged by the grand general's earth shaking firepower.
Unnerved Carlos fires his gun at Mami, only for her ribbons to catch it mid-flight and crush it all the while dominating five people at once. Shrugging off Super Knuckles burning punches and Super Amy Raketen hammer before kicking them off. While Tails fires off every Wispon attack so far only for Mami to use her ribbons to either block, catch, or slice apart the attacks. The only move that does damage being a combination of Gekkou quick freezing the ribbons and Kon firing off the missile at the bottom of his shield which actually damaged her. Mami then responds by creating numerous Gatling guns from her ribbons which spray fire to everyone indiscriminately forcing Gawain to step in to subdue her. Jumping off from his VIP booth then tanking all of the shots and punching her square in the face before flash stepping behind putting her on a hold.
Meanwhile Super Sonic is carrying Carlos to the Adonis while avoiding both its attacks and Oriko's. Now having transformed into Oracle and firing off crystal shots to take down Super Sonic and with her precognitive power was getting some good hits in. At least until Sonic drops his cargo and and quickly accelerates to the sky, Caliburn tries to ambush her only for the magical to block his strike with her Oracle rod. Undeterred the legendary sword pushes forward and snaps the magical tool in half before boasting. "Precognition is meaningless if your foe can overpower you." Sonic then crashes straight down using his speed to repeatedly bash Oriko hundreds of times per second all the while finishing the boast. "It's also useless if your enemy can outspeed you!" Caliburn equips himself to Sonic as Oracle is reverted back to Oriko who then falls unconscious on the floor and then flies away to help his friends.
Carlos meanwhile is hanging on for dear life as the Adonis tries to shake him off. All the while Snively watched gleefully on a video. "Struggle all you want animal! The Adonis is invincible! Thanks to the data I've stolen from Ivo, the alien super science of the IFS, and my unbridled intellect! I have created the strongest Waltzer of all time! By utilizing magical girls to filter the mana produced by the drive engines it not only has superior performance to both the Guardsmen and Tenno lines, but it also surpasses my GUN Atlas! Yes the Adonis is the strongest in the world! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The battle between Carlos and the Adonis continues as the latter tries to remove the former by slamming into the stands and scraping him off. Causing even more chaos, death, and destruction as hundreds die and more are maimed. But Carlos manages to hold on until reaching the chest where the cockpit is. All the while Snively continues to mock his foe, even forming a private line to mock Carlos. "FOOL! My designs are flawless! Both Ivo and Grimer never understood!" Snively's sanity starts to take a nosedive as Carlos began to mess with the external cockpit lock. "Yes! That's it! They were jealous! All of them! But no more, for I have the power now! Yes, the power of Grayskull! And with it I will burn Mobius to the ground! Force everyone to acknowledge my greatness! And PISS on my father's graveeee!" Carlos then cracks open the cockpit, getting inside and tearing out the cables that were draining Nanairo. Before shooting some of the equipment and jumping out as the Adonis crashes. Landing on the ground by flying while holding the young girl in his arms. "Nanairo, you're safe." She opens her eyes and weakly raises her right hand to stroke the birds face. Causing the hardened detective to smile.
On the other side of the arena Team Sonic, Mami, and Gawain are all fighting each other. With the Guardsmen and Bouncers joining the fight in a full on free for all. With Mami breaking free by tearing off both of Gawain's arms and then punching a hole in his stomach. Causing the cyborg to fall over as the blow pierced clean thru Gawain. And then turns to Team Sonic as the Core voyager crashes from above, destroying the roof and firing his beam cannons to lay waste to the mooks as it enters the door. The Adonis then rises up again as Snively activates its copy system. Allowing it to copy Nanairo's powers. Sprouting curved horns and a stinger tipped tail. With its limbs growing longer, skinnier, and growing spikes as the Waltzer's colors change to pink as it brings out a red bladed lightsaber. "BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA! Did you really think that girl was the source of the Adonis power? No! It was I Snively! Now my Adonis destroy them all!" The Adonis takes to the air and uses its tail to attack Team Sonic, using it to rip and tear the floor below with the team being forced to dodge while Mami engages with her rifles, actually doing damage. The Adonis then clasps in palms together and fires off a massive beam that blows up much of the arena and causes the general to fall down a crack in the floor. Team Sonic then transforms into their Voyager forms with Kon joining in as the Build Voyager. A combination bulldozer and wheeled excavator construction machine with a Shiba inu design.
Tails tells everyone to use a five peace combination as Dragon Voyager blasts the Adonis while Build Voyager picking up Carlos and Nanairo and getting the hell out while summoning the Starpatrol which breaks out of Granta station. Capo then jumps into the battle trying to interfere but is swatted down onto the wall by Dragon voyager. With Sayaka and Kyoko taking the opportunity to escape as Kyoko vomits out a thief tool as hands it to Sayaka. Who after a moment of hesitation due to the tool being vomited out uses it to free them both and escape as well.
The Core itself transforms in its usual mode with the legs separating and being warped out. With Sonic and Tails become the right and left arms and Knuckles and Amy transform into the right and left legs and putting on its Sonic inspired helmet. Crashing into the ground as it faces the Adonis in battle.
"Voyager-Oh Completed. You are the! You are the! You. Are. King! Complete."
Voyager-Oh Completed
The completed King of braves
Voyager-Oh complete theme: 21 century boy: Getter robo Go
The two mechas start trading blows as Voyager punches Adonis into the distance. Demolishing whatever was left of the stadium as Team Sonic rockets towards Adonis and uses a four hit punch combo to smash half of Colosso and taking the fight outside. Snively takes manual control using his wrist mounted controller. Forcing it to get up and fire its scattering beams which Voyager-Oh dodges and then Snively tosses his sword which damages the left arm. Knuckles counters by raising his cannons into the knee to shoot at Snively as Sonic takes out the sword and throws it away. Then Amy's wheels turn into thrusters to knee the Adonis. Followed by everyone else unloading guns and missiles before Adonis flies upward and gathers energy into a massive orb of power, Which Voyager attempts to dodge only for Adonis arms to extend and crash into the other robot, slamming them into the ground before detonating the orb causing a massive explosion that shatters the ground around it. Content with his success Snively lowers his guard only to find out that Voyager-Oh is lifting himself off and tossing the Adonis away. "Do you really think that's enough?" Knuckles commented as the Adonis sprouted a pair of massive claws in its left hand and fired it off. Only for Sonic's arm to catch it and with Knuckles power lasso it around until letting go. Causing the Adonis to fly some distance away and crash onto the rocky ground. As Voyager-Oh prepared to finish it off, the dust settled and the Adonis rocketed upwards face down. Spreading its body and firing off countless beams that destroy the area. With a fair number hitting Voyager-Oh lifting it into the sky as Team Sonic screamed in pain. "We need to do something Tails!" "I know that Sonic!" It was then that Dragon fired off its ice breath causing the Adonis wiry limbs to crack and break and for a giant Caliburn to appear in Sonic's hand. "Get ready everyone!" The talking sword remarked as the crew used their thrusters to get back up. Out of options Snively summons another blade and lunges towards Voyager in order to fight in close quarters. Their respective swords clashing. At first the fight seemed even but a combination of superior skill and experience by Sonic. Brought about by his time in Camelot. And Snively's dwindling sanity leaves his robot literally disarmed and then kicked to the side. With a volley of blaster fire and missiles for good measure.
Sonic then fires up Caliburn lifting it up as it glows gold and performing the Yuusha pose before inserting a drive emblem which causes the sword to catch fire as Voyager-Oh leaps towards the Adonis. A panicked Snively tries to flee only for an eagle shaped meteor to come down from the sky and annihilate the Adonis.
"Code break: The code of chivalry." "Eagle anger flurry..."
"Well am I glad that's over Tails remarks as he is shot apart by a beam in the sky. Reverting his Voyager form to his normal form all while clutching his body and screaming in agony as his body smokes from the heat. That's when another group of titans lands. Two Guardsmachine surrounding a yellow and white custom job. The LWT-1017: Guardsmachine is the seventeenth iteration of the model. A standard all purpose suit with white and gray colors, a distinctive Y-shaped visor just like its pilots. And a squat stocky design with a semi-circular torso, considerable shoulder pauldrons and skinny arms and legs that could fold into a cruising mode. The machine in front is Mami Tomoe's machine the LWT-2000: Gallete Krone. A yellow and white custom with smoother and sleeker armor and replacing the Guardsmachine drum frame with a legitimated humanoid frame complete with armor skin to protect the joints and interior. Both can be equipped with backpacks and are compatible with the sizable weapon pool of the IFS. While the machines hold standard beam rifles and beam shields. The Krone carries a large hip mounted buster cannon and deployed popcorn's. Yellow energy bits launched from the pauldrons that give off a popping sound while flying. The bits are fired in odd and random angles which pummel Voyager-Oh but its complete form is too powerful. Causing only minor damage. Mami simply smiles and sends her goons to fight. Only for everyone to notice that something happened to Voyager, as its limbs fell off and the body reverted two its two limbed form and is simply standing there. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy fall to the ground drained of energy as Capo reveals that he is fine and that he has some strange spirit behind him. Releasing a series of syringes that form its fingers. Said creature is a strange golden skeleton without a face and silver scars and armor. As well as a massive beating heart in the chest with blood vessels connected to the hands which possess a syringe in each finger. The Don laughs as his injuries are healed. "If you want something done. Do it with Traitor's requiem. Hey general, where's my reward?! Considering all the damage that happened i've more than earned double the pay. Voyager Dragon then flies down and fires a powerful ice beam at the Guardsmachines. While Mami dodges, the other two are frozen and shatter into dust.
Mami and Dragon began fighting. With the magical girl easily deflecting all of Gekkou's attacks while deep in thought. "That mobster has a Doppel? But how? Knowledge of those creatures have been sealed away. Even i've never seen one for myself!" Mami's eyes widen with the realization. "Those mafioso... They have the legendary magia record?! The map that leads to the law of cycles?! No, the very power of creation itself!" Mami snaps back as Gekkou tries to blast her but Mami counters and bitchslaps the dragonkin into the ground. Out of the way asshole!" And then points her cannon at Capo which is destroyed by Erik who uses his doppel to shoot the gun until it explodes. The doppel itself named The Heavy is a large floating machine gun that is ten feet long and has rocket boosters that allow it to fly. It also has a skull for a muzzle. Capo laughs as he teleports away with Erik flying off in The Heavy.
"Dammit! Well at least I can kill this rebel scum." Mami cracks a smile as her Waltzer's shoulders open and start charging energy. "Today, Sonic the hedgehog dies. I can't wait to rub it in to Akemi-san. The fact that her precious hero is dead!" Gekkou fires another cold blast at the distracted Puella magi before separating her Voyager in half. With the top and bottom halves becoming the left and right hands. And the helmet being replaced by a blue dragon themed helmet. Voyager-Oh reactivates and punches the Gallete Krone with her dragon head right arm. And then slashes the right shoulder with the left tail arm which disables both the left funnels and damages the arm leaving it useless. Mami flies off cursing the uselessness of her machine as Voyager-Oh now controlled by Gekkou points at her foe.
Voyager-Oh Dragon
Freezing fist of the brave
Voyager-Oh Dragon theme: Sentou danji: G Gundam
The dragon arm fires off another ice beam which is reflected by the popcorn's. With the bits spinning around the Gallete at high speeds before launching the barrage at Gekou with all hitting their mark. Causing Gekkou to fall to her knees. Mami grins as she fires off a pair of beam sabers from the palm of her hands. And lunges towards Gekkou ready for the kill. Only for the left arm of Voyager-Oh to extend its center fin into a whip sword that slices thru the chest area overconfident combatant. Causing the Gallete's reactor to overload, explode, and having both halves crash into the ground.
"Code break! Never fear the fall!" "Sweeping currents, slashing gale..."
As Sonic and company get up just in time, Gekkou goes back to normal as the Core Voyager leaves again staying on guard much to the others confusion. "Hey Gekkou, we won you know?" "This is the Grand general we're talking about Sonic. She's not down yet." As if on cue the ground shakes as giant spikes erupt. And the Gallete explodes violently as Mami rises from the wreckage. The lens behind the mask glowing blood red as her clothing is singed and damaged. "That's it. Everyone dies." The ground erupts with magma as tiny ribbons fly out of the spikes cutting everyone and drawing blood in Knuckles case. "Razor wire!" The echidna comments. "Be careful everyone, one wrong move and its curtains. The wires then proceed to choke Knuckles only being saved by Tails who electrocuted the wires until they burned away. And by sheer luck electrocute Mami who quickly goes on the offensive. Summoning muskets as everyone scatters. Once landing Mami fires off the two muskets which explode into millions of shards that spread through the area. With everyone unable to get footing as the earth continues to tremble and even break apart. Sonic takes the initiative as he uses his speed to avoid her shots and sweeping her feet off which would have caused her to fall if ribbons didn't sprout from the ground and turn into a fancy chair for Mami as turrets erupt and start shooting. Amy then joins in using tarot cards to take down the turrets as the general turns her attention to Amy. Being intercepted by Knuckles who dive punches her and then digs underground. Only for Knuckles to erupt from the ground via an eruption. Gekkou then strikes which is countered by Mami summoning a ribbon epee. Parrying away the blows before kicking her away. Then backhanding Knuckles when he fell.
Kon called the group telling them that the Starpatrol has been recovered. And that they are on their way. "Our ride is coming!" Sonic yelled to everyone. "Stall for time!" A much longer earthquake then shakes the entire planet. Mami smiles as she explains on how the entire world be destroyed. "Are you crazy?!" Tails countered to which the Puella magi replied. "I'm more than capable to survive a planetary explosion!" She then attacks Amy. Striking the hedgehogs hammer with her blade. Sonic spin attacks from above which is deflected as Caliburn uses the distraction to cut the epee in half. Letting Amy smash Mami in the face multiple times, then giving her a gut check with the Piko piko hammer's shaft and finally uppercutting her into the sky. Mami then recovers, flipping back, and getting a three point landing complete with a flourishing bow just to mock her opponents. Tails then appears with the Trigger wispon gun and fires on Mami to no avail. First using the laser emblem to fire lasers, then the bomb emblem to create an explosive blast, the hover emblem that fires off gravity blasts, the quake emblem which causes rocks and lava flows to be fired off, and finally the cube emblem dropping a massive cube on top of her head. Mami is completely unfazed by everything. Who then summons multiple muskets to gun down a shocked Tails. "Tails!" Sonic goes Super and crashes into Mami who once more smacks him away. Sonic then turns into Racing Voyager who lands on top of the blondes boobs. Revving its back wheels until her body catches fire. But a flaming Mami grabs the wheel, lifts the giant mecha car with one hand and then tosses it back at Amy crushing her underfoot. Knuckles and Gekkou double team Mami. Both maintaining pressure as Knuckles goes for body blows. With Gekkou going for a decapitation strike and succeeding. Cutting the generals head with one stroke. As Knuckles punches her chest so hard that her rib cage is shattered as the body falls into the ground. Exhausted the two fall on their knees with the dragonkin swords woman stating. "It's over. Even immortals like her can be killed with enough force. Especially since she doesn't have her Puella magi powers anymore." Noticing that her soul gem and finger mark are both gone. Confirming that the Pandora worked to an extent. Having removed Puella magi and incubators from history.
The corpses right hand then twitches as ribbons burst from the severed stump that is Mami's head and attaches herself into the head and pulls it back into the body reviving her. Blasting both of them and removing the final combatants from battle. Obtaining victory from Team Sonic as she rises herself into the skies summoning a musket that grew into a spectacular railgun loading a nuclear powered bullet. Charging a final finishing blow something that Tails instruments noticed. "Put your suits on! That thing is a nuclear blast!" As everyone armed up a horrified Gekkou screams. "Nuclear?! Fission weaponry is taboo! It's one of the five great taboos, alongside time travel and mind control!" Tails bites back with. "Nice exposition! Now put on your damn driver suit!"
"So long rebels! I would say that you were worth adversaries... But i'm too petty to do so." As Mami prepares to fire, the heavens parts as a positron beam lands on top of her. Melting the ribbons that formed the railgun and triggering a nuclear explosion as the Starpatrol dives in to rescue Team Sonic and flee. As the ship leaves Mami who at this point has been scorched alive by the equivalent of a modern day hydrogen bomb. Slowly gets up once more only to realize too late that she destroyed Von Saturnus core and now the planet exploded in her face. Alongside Oriko who is still out of it, dying with the planetary explosion.
After Von Saturnus was destroyed. Mami was left floating unconscious in space. Until Suzume having been repaired after her excursion to Venus found Mami by chance and carried her off to a nearby IFS capital ship.
Back at the Starpatrol
The Starpatrol meanwhile escapes Von Saturnus destruction with ease. And with the ship now fully operational warp to safety. Carlos, Gekkou, and Kon are at the med-bay as Nanairo is asleep in one of the beds with an IV fluid drip helping her recover. Carlos is weeping with joy and hugging Gekkou who is not amused as Kon tries to calm both of them down while getting drunk again. All the while Sonic, Knuckles, and Amy are taking a break in the lounge. With Tails geeking out about the Bulldoras. Sonic asks what now, to which Amy simply states that Carlos is now a traitor and that we need to get him and Nanairo to an actual hospital.
Tails looks at the group and comments. "According to the data Illiad 4 has a capable hospital that is separatist friendly. We can also drop off our two stowaways while were at it." The scene then cuts to a prison cell where Sayaka and Kyoko are being held, still wearing the metal bikinis. Sayaka is pissed telling Kyoko. "Why did you have to flag that old man anyways?!" Kyoko just looks tired and resigned saying. "Let's just go home." With the sheer weariness of the statement calming Sayaka down. "The problem is the space church. The Pope's loons are scouring the planet for money." Kyoko couldn't hide her revulsion. As an immortal she saw her religion get corrupted into a greedy and corrupt organization. Remembering her father and all that she lost Kyoko can only feel hatred towards the space church.
Thus the Starpatrol on its journey thru the stars. With the ship on autopilot for the time being. Tails heads for the hangar noting that they need to come up with some other ways to enter and exit enemy worlds.
The lands of Quel droma, Planet Reitai
Lepard Arachne wanders through the abandoned and ruined halls of the old training grounds. Walking cautiously he heads to the rendezvous point. Hoping that he doesn't stumble across one of the many dangerous creatures that have taken over the facilities. Walking thru the transparent tubes that serve as hallways the kaijin looks nervous as he sees a swarm of bat like creatures with bark for skin that fly above the tubes screeching en masse. After entering the lobby he searches for a light switch. "Where are the damn lights again?" The lights suddenly switch on, scaring the crap of Lepard as Ashtamangala appeared behind him. "You're alive!" "Indeed Lepard." "But how? The Mikazuki was destroyed." "By yours truly." Lepard is stunned silent at the revelation as Ash continues his explanation. "I doubt that you were informed. But the Reibai are coming back. Once the hedgehog deals with Barragan we will make our grand return unopposed." "But why would you do such a thing?!" Lepard screams as he gets into a fighting stance.
"It's quite simple." Ash remarks as his mono-eye glowed. "Everything will be destroyed. That's why I asked you to bring me that game. With it you will not only get rid of Monika but be able to protect your master." Ash then adds. "You sick incestuous freak." Under his breath as Lepard pulls out the old hard drive and hands it over to his compatriot. After giving it a quick scan Ash notes. "Good, I will call you back when the device is ready." Ash then vanishes leaving Lepard alone to his own devices as the lights are shut off and the kaijin is surrounded by glowing red eyes.
Mar 23, GUN fortress, Planet mobius
In the depths of the fortress there is a large prison complex meant to contain some of the most dangerous criminals in Mobius. Second to the infamous Devil's gulag located in the ruins of Siberia. The underground prison complex was converted from a dungeon meant to store Eggman's prisoners during his failed robotomy experiments. With the walls and floors still charred from all of the explosions and failures. And then to contain animals for his original badniks. In that location Surge and Kit are in prison cells, with Surge still throwing a tantrum days later about being caught. While Kit is laying down on a mattress and playing an old harmonica while singing Nobody knows the trouble I've seen with a deep tenor voice.
"Nobody knows the trouble i've seen."
"Nobody knows, but Jeebus."
"Nobody knows the trouble i've seen... Glory Hallelujah."
"Sometimes i'm up, sometimes i'm down."
"Whooa! Yes lord!"
Surge meanwhile moans and complains. "Seriously Kit? This isn't the time for your Jeebuite dogshit!" As Surge begins to rage a visitor steps up to meet them. That being Commander Stone. "So, you must be Surge and Kit, survivors of the Les enfantes terribles program?" Stone's words end their argument as the duo pay full attention to the man in front of them. "I have a proposition for you two." Surge looks at Stone and says. "I'm listening." As both smile wickedly at each other.
To be continued
The Japari park arc is meant to serve as a finale of sorts for ZAFT of the radiance. In the end of Season 2, Chapter 22. As it can be seen the main characters were Kira, Athrun, and Shinn before their development in Freedom. With Tails doll and later Lalah Sune joining the main cast. Both originally villains until switching sides. With the latter in particular being made due to fan suggestions.
Snively refers to the mechanica mechanica convention. A series of accords made before the magical girl war started. It's main goals are as such.
The granting of legal rights and responsibilities to machines.
The separation between different types of machines.
Forbidding certain machines such as Master computers, Grey goo tech, and limiting computer viruses.
The defining of computer viruses as WMD's and all legal consequences.
The approval of project carbon and a 190 year plan for the mass cyberization of the populace
The excavation of both Elysium and Yggdrasil on planet MML-1997
Establishing a specialized police force to deal with rogue elements within the IFA
Latter on there was the addendum and codification of the five great taboos. Time travel, mind control, Nuclear, biological, and chemical weaponry, computer viruses and hive minds, and soul manipulation. With all research and development being highly restricted via penalty of death.
Colosso is very much inspired by both the Colosso tournament from Golden Sun and historical documents of the Roman Colosseum. The latter of which had many similar events to the ones described in Colosso. With things like the vaping scene being inspired being based of personal experience.
