"You are not going to get away with this!" Cloudnetta declared as they used the Umbra Buster and struck at Lex Luthor, who managed to parry with his weapon back.

Their combined power kept destroying most of his weapons. Even the shield was shattered by the Umbra Buster a while ago. As of right now, Lex could only hope to stall for time until Krateroth gathered enough power to unleash his Supernova. Kratos merging with him gave him more access to weapons and techniques, but it severely hindered his magical abilities. In the sense that his previously unlimited magical reserves now had a limit.

"That bastard better hurry up…" Lex grumbled as Cloudnetta kept the offensive strong as they managed to cut down many of Lex's drones.

"Guess it can't be helped…" Lex found cover and started to punch in coordinates into his suit's onboard computer.

Meanwhile, in space…

"So, what's up with the doctors, anyways?" 18 asked as she and Red were patrolling the clouds, "I haven't seen hide nor hair of them."

"Something about needing to protect the outer dimensions. From what I heard, Mephisto managed to get here at one point, so they're trying to make sure that more demons and monsters don't make it in unless they're in an officiated battle." Red replied, "Now, where is that Fulgore unit? - I heard it's a flying version with an energy storage container. We gotta make sure that it doesn't cause too much damage to the satellites. If it can make it to orbit, then our satellites are going to take a No Mercy to the face."

"Do satellites even have faces?" 18 asked.

"You know what I mean. We should keep looking for- WOAH!"

*BWWZZIP!*

A beam of energy struck down from the sky, nearly taking Red with it.

"What the hell was that?"

"Whatever it was, it's probably not good…"

Lex grabbed the energy that fired down on him.

"Time for you…" He rose up a bit further to get the high ground over Cloudnetta, "TO BE VAPORIZED!"

*BOOM!*

"You are just fools playing god. While I… I am the only one here with the might and intellect to justify such a label!" He cackled.

"GODDAMMIT!" Cloudnetta used their power to push away the smoke and bits of debris surrounding them, "THAT HURT YOU BASTARD!" The Umbra Buster was resummoned as Cloudnetta charged forward and slashed so hard that Lex was struck so hard that he smashed into the other room past Krateroth.

He tried to pick himself back up but was ultimately unsuccessful.

"Krateroth! We're here to defeat you! Surrender Kratos now, or you'll see the power that was able to match Lumen Sages and beyond that!"

"And how long ago did you two fuse?"

"Twenty minutes ago. That gives us ten more to kick your ass! Which is ten more than we'll need."

"Impressive one-liner." Krateroth acknowledged, "But mine goes along the lines of thanking you."

"For what?"

"For making it so that I only need to cut off one of your heads to defeat you!" Krateroth declared as he charged forward with the Masamune blade and clashed with the Umbra Buster.

"Hurgh!" Cloudnetta struggled against the sudden power. Apparently, this type of fusion simply added Kratos' power arsenal to Sephiroth's. So much for the power averaging out.

"GRAH!" Krateroth pushed backwards against Cloudnetta, and readied Leviathan to strike again.

"Woah!" Cloudnetta narrowly evaded the attack, but noticed that Krateroth's electric magic was also imbued into the attack, which sent out several electrified shards of ice their way.

"Damn, Kratos. And here we thought that you were stronger-willed than that. I doubt your son would enjoy knowing that you gave up so easily." Cloudnetta taunted.

"HA!" Krateroth snapped, "I am aware of what you are trying to do, and it will not work. I have already silenced Kratos, and reset the timer on the fusion. Your efforts are useless!"

"Oh yeah?- Well we'll just-"

*BWZZzzzpp…*

Cloud and Bayonetta just appeared and started looking at each other before saying the only thing that came to their mind.

"Shit!"

"It appears that your constant fighting caused your fusion time to deplete at a much faster rate." Krateroth noted, as he charged a blast of magical energy.

*BWWZZT!*

*BOOM!*

Cloud and Bayonetta got blasted to the next room. Looking up, they saw that the Kratos and Sephiroth fusion was still going strong.

"You should not have come. Now you will have to witness your destruction."

"Too slow, darling!" Bayonetta shot back as she managed to get behind Krateroth and give him a kick right between his legs.

"OUGH!"

"Ugh… I know I hate Sephiroth and everything, but even I feel sorry for that one." Cloud mentioned.

"Insufferable bitch! You'll pay for that!" Krateroth snarled as he slowly got back up.

"First of all: It's witch, darling." Bayonetta winked, "And second… NOW!"

"BLADE BEAM!" Cloud shot the energy towards Krateroth as he was blasted by the attack and took a few cuts to the face.

"HRGH!"

"And here I thought that your face couldn't get any uglier." Cloud smirked.

"Oh come now, Cloud…" Bayonetta quipped, "There's no need to insult the man''s face. His ego's wounded enough as it is."

"Then I would say that it is time…" Krateroth gasped, "For you… To witness… Oblivion."

He released the illusion, revealing that he had taken them all to Sephiroth's Supernova dimension.

"It's unfortunate that I have to endure this alongside the likes of you, but if it means that I get to see you two burn, it is all worth it." He said in a crazed voice.

"Bayo…" Cloud said as he saw the flames getting closer.

"Get behind me!" Bayonetta used her magic in an attempt to shield both her and Cloud from the blast.

*BOOM!*

X: And here I thought that this would be a three-parter.

Wade: So, it's now split into four parts?

X: Looks like. It'll be good to upload a storyline. I've been too busy with life and other minor projects.

Pinkie: Like wasting time on tumblr?

X: Look, I need interaction with other people. Plus, I also review the battles on the Aftermath tumblr. Not to mention, I also want to do some more community stuff there. Maybe some tumblr community battles.

Alexis: Chirp chirp chirp!
