The Rainbow Lanterns were still fighting against Aku. Despite the power being split between them, there was obvious signs that Aku was struggling.

"ENOUGH OF THIS!" The dark master bellowed, "YOU SHALL ALL DIE!" Aku prepared to launch into the sky to reign down upon his foes.

"NOW!" Hal called out.

All the lanterns created a bubble of pure energy - one that Aku was unable to get out of.

"WHAT? What is this sorcery!"

"This is the power of the lantern combined!" Saint Walker shot back.

"And now it's time for your demise!" Atrocitus bellowed.

Aku looked around. They were leaving the atmosphere, and - Was that Venus?

"Where are-"

"The Sun." Hal cut off, "As an old friend of mine once told me, 'the bigger you are, the faster you burn!'"

"FOOLS! Only the powers of three gods can best me!" Aku cackled, "You are wasting your time!"

"Then it's a good thing that we have more than seven."

"What?"

The battling entities arrived at the burning star, "Imagine the power of multiple Sun Gods, Aku." Saint Walker pointed out, "Now imagine all their power in a single entity."

"Last I checked, Ra also helped forged Jack's sword. So he should be familiar with you." Sinestro smiled darkly, "Now burn!"

Hal flung Aku into the Sun, where he started to burn.

"Hmm, just enough to get back home." Hal breathed a sigh of relief, "Maybe we can get you guys your bodies back if we- URK!"

A hand of pure darkness flung out from the Sun, grabbing Hal Jordan.

"What the-"

"IF I MUST DIE…" Aku bellowed, as his face was burning, "I SHALL TAKE YOU WITH ME!"

Hal was in a panic, despite his struggles, he wasn't going to make it out in time and still have enough of a charge left.

"SAVE ME, AND WE BOTH LIVE ON!" Aku bargained,

"NOT… A… CHANCE!" Hal screamed back, using his last remaining power to send Aku's entire body into the Sun.

"H-Hal-" Carol was unable to finish her sentence as her construct apparition dissipated.

"T-There's no more-" The rest disappeared one by one. The ring no longer able to sustain any power left, Hal closed his eyes and turned on his comm.

"T-This is Hal Jordan reporting in."

"Hal! What's going on?" Rosalina asked, "All the other Lanterns' vitals went offline for a bit, but their energy-"

"No time to explain." Hal cut off, "Just know that Aku's down."

"That's a relief."

"But I can't keep going."

Deadpool walked over to the console and grabbed the mic, "Listen here Jordan, I didn't break character to give an awe-inspiring speech just so you could die! Get back here, and give the rest of us a hand!"

"'Fraid I can't do that." Hal replied, "look, I can't keep going. And to be honest, it's a miracle that we won and that I could keep the comm going for this long-"

"Hal? HAL!"

"I…" Rosalina choked, "He's dead."

"I have a feeling that this won't be the last one."

There was a faint noise from outside.

"Did you hear something?"

Azula blocked another jab from her former friend,only for a roundhouse kick to send her to a wall.

"Ty…" She struggled to keep her motivation to fight on burning, "please…"

Ty-Lee went in for a final blow, poised to use a piece of scrap that had melted earlier to stab Azula in the heart.

"GRAHH!" a blinding light of energy enveloped Ty-Lee, dissipating all the dark energies within her until the girl was back to her normal self - albeit, in shock, but she was physically okay.

"Ty-Lee?" Azula crawled over to her friend, and checked for a pulse.

*ba-bump. ba-bump*

She breathed a sigh of relief as Ty-Lee opened her eyes, "A-Azula?" She whispered, "I-is this a dream?"

"It's no dream." The bender of blue fire comforted, "I got you."

Ty-Lee started crying, "It was horrible. It was like I could see, hear, and feel everything my body was doing, but I couldn't stop it!" She started to sob more, "A-Azula! I'm sor-"

"Don't apologize." Azula comforted, "It wasn't your fault."

"I… I…" Ty-Lee choked up, "I think we're in trouble…" She looked as there were several Braintron drones closing in on their position, as well as some leftover Xenomorphs that Braintron had brought onto the ship to experiment on.

Azula got up, and for the first time since Ty-Lee had been lost, bent lightning.

"Hey-a!" she shot it through several drones and a few aliens, brushed some hair out of her eyes, and took a stance.

"If you want her. You have to get through me."

The fall of Aku had more than just the effect of freeing Ty-Lee from his grasp.

Everywhere, Aku's minions were shutting down, no longer able to sustain themselves through his dark magic.

That was not the only thing though.

"The clouds!" Mega Man noticed, "They're going away!"

"Hal and his team must've done it." Sonya grinned at the pilot's feat.

"Aku's down. We move forward, and keep taking these beings down." Orchid stated.

"And with the sun back out," Mega Man shifted through several weapons, "I got a faster recharge!"

He showed off by launching several Metal Blades and Crash Bombs at several Xenomorphs and Hydra agents.

*BOOM!*

"We're clear to get to the next area!" he called out, "Let's move!"

The dark figure that was totally-not Ganondorf was busy attacking the barrier that was keeping him out.

"Hurrgh-RAGH!" The strike that totally wasn't a warlock punch struck at the barrier. But it dealt little damage.

"Damnit!" He cursed, "How am I supposed to break through?"

He mused for a bit, "Hmm… It appears to be a barrier that reflects attacks back. But when the other monsters and villains attacked, it started to falter. Perhaps the barrier simply cannot reflect the energy back if I am quick enough."

He flew to another point on the airship, and punched it, narrowly avoiding the reflected energy. He repeated this process a few more times until there was some visible damage on the shields.

"Damn!" He muttered, "It's not going to be fast enough. What did Luthor say about how this works back in that other universe?"

Meanwhile, in Universe A…

"Damnit!" The psychic cursed, "We don't have a lot of time to stop the rematch."

"We've talked to everyone about it, and there's not a big majority for stopping it." Deadpool lamented.

"Yeah! Our last shot is to stop the fighters from doing it." Pinkie replied.

"Let's hope we are not too late."

"Look, I don't think that this rematch is a good idea!" Carolina pointed out, "There's too much of a risk to it, and we don't know how this would affect how past fights would be treated!"

"I don't even care about that." Sol replied, "But if they make me fight Ragna again just to appease his fanbase, I'm going to be pissed."

"But we have to account for mistakes! Beifong shouldn't have been able to have bent that gold!" Astro Boy replied.

"And what evidence do we have that Sandy there even kept that stuff?" Bayonetta pointed out.

"I know that's what Samus told you when you were being nervous about your fight with Dante, but that doesn't mean she's right." Vader responded.

"Pfft!" Scrooge said, "You're just mad because someone better than you beat you up, and nobody really reacted."

"Why are we having this discussion anyways?" Tracer asked, "I'm here because that Mewtwo bloke said that there would be some kind of 'dire consequences' if we let this fight pass."

"Wait, he said that to you?" Bayonetta realized, "He said it to me too!"

"The moron thinks that if we let it slide, then other fights will get rematches." Scout pointed out, "Personally, I don't see the problem with that. Some of us were cheated out of our weapons!"

"Oh, sod off you Boston Yank!" Tracer stuck her tongue out.

"That doesn't even make sense." Spider-Man pointed out, "I coulda sworn that 'Yankees' are from New York."

"Wait a moment!" Sol called out, "All of this is starting because of Mewtwo!"

"So?"

"So what's he so afraid of? - some kind of apocalyptic future?" Wolverine questioned, "'cause that would be stupid as f… What're you lookin' at?"

"Isn't one of your world's biggest events… exactly that?" Carolina questioned, "Because I'm pretty sure you starred in a movie where that happened."

"Shut it, ya Jean Grey wannabe." Wolverine got up, "I'm going to go ask Psyboy about it. Anyone who wants to figure out what the hell is going on can come with."

"I got nothing better to do." Sol shrugged.

"Ah gotta come with to make sure you don't do somethin' stupid." Rogue mentioned, floating by.

"Something too stupid Rogue." Bayonetta corrected, "I'm coming with you too."

"Alright, you guys can keep doing this stupid argument, I'm getting to the bottom of this."

"Look, we get that they're about to do battle in forty minutes. But we have to talk to them." Deadpool argued with the guards.

"Apologies," The guard replied, "But we cannot allow more than one of you combatants in."

"Who's already talking to them, anyways?"

"Ironically, Cammy is talking to Toph, while Scorpion is talking to Gaara."

"How is that ironic?" Pinkie asked.

"I think it's because Cammy's world is from Japan, while Scorpion's world is from America." Deadpool answered.

"No, it's because Cammy is European, while Hanzo is Japanese." Mewtwo pointed out, "That and their world's origins…" he sighed, "I've been spending way too much time with you if I'm having conversations like this."

"You should see the author go insane after spending a hundred plus chapters with us." Deadpool commented.

There was a moment of silence.

"Did he just say-"

"Yes."

"Does he really think-"

"YES." Mewtwo pointed out, "Can we at least talk to them when Cammy and Hanzo are finished?"

"Sure, but I don't think that they're going to finish anytime soon."

"Where are they fighting anyways?" Pinkie asked out of curiosity.

"Some mountain range." The guard replied, "Now, you're welcome to stick around in case the others finish up talking to the combatants, but I wouldn't hold my breath."

"HEY!"

The trio (and the guard) looked to see Wolverine, Bayonetta, Sol Badguy, and Rogue coming their way.

"What is it best mutant friend of mine?" Deadpool asked.

"You're involved? - No wonder Psyboy here's going insane with tryin' to stop this rematch." Logan sighed, "I'm not here for you. I'm here for- Where'd he go?"

Everyone looked around. Mewtwo was nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, in Universe 1…

"We have a small problem."

Kitty sighed. In this world, disappointment was a common thing to encounter, "What is it?"

"Well, *urrp* the gauge stopped for a moment." Rick mentioned.

"So? That was a given to happen." Kitty pointed out, "It was par for the course."

"What wasn't par for the course was the gauge going down." Rick pointed out.

"What? Why didn't you lead with that?" Kitty asked, exasperated.

"Dramatic effect." Rick replied, "It's stopped now though. 85%."

"From where did it decrease?" Kitty asked.

"87%. We need it to get to 90% before we can break the connection. The odds of this stupid timeline still happening would be too risky otherwise."

"I'm surprised that you actually care Rick. What changed?"

Rick opened his phone and sighed, "I can't go home. The portals are shut down, and I want to see my grandkids again."

"Aww, you do have a heart." Kitty giggled.

"I'll force feed you a ham sandwich if you do that again." Rick shot back, "Don't push your luck."

Wade: So, where's Mewtwo?

Pinkie: Yeah! Where is he?

X: …

Pinkie: Exxy?

X: I just realized that this story might get past 15 chapters.

Pinkie: So?

X: So what if future stories don't stack up to this one if it's popular? What if this one isn't popular, and I just wasted my time?

Wade: If your fans really do like your work, they won't judge it like that.

X: But this is the exact same situation that X-Men: Apocalypse wound up in! It came out after Days of Future Past and it was a bore-fest in comparison!

Wade: Wait, you liked that movie?

X: Apocalypse? - Kinda… It's good when you don't compare it to DoFP, but when you do compare the two, Apocalypse just doesn't hold a candle.

Wade: Well, it would've been better if they didn't tack on another forced Wolverine cameo.

X: What? Would you have been a better choice?

Wade: Someone's gotta save that franchise.
