Tyranny 2025

Chapter 23: Revenge Of The Sith

Date: April 21st, 2025

The new Master stares at us with a truly lifeless gaze. Its almost like they tried to become a machine with human flesh before they gained control of the body of The Master. That is something I have been trying to warn people about. Those in power want people to become machines in human flesh until the evils of those in power end up killing them prematurely. Never try to become a machine in a human body that is devoid of all emotions because it will not end well for you. I dont know how in the hell we're supposed to beat this foe. They move at such a high speed. Their instincts are so sharpened that it's like they never spend a second thinking, even while theyre just talking. While that is the most optimal way to fight when your life is in danger, if you render yourself completely devoid of thought in everyday life, only bad things can happen to you from then on. Thats just how it is unfortunately. I literally blinked during the silence that followed our foe's cold words and when I was done, several of our comrades were dead again, along with some of the rebels residing on this planet we armed and inspired to rise up. Seeing what just happened, we also go silent to put as much focus and energy into trying to kill our foe as possible. We know what has to be done to kill them but now, its clear just how difficult they were going to make things for us. With deadly precision, we do our best to counter our foe's movements, heavily relying on illusions and other tricks that are harder to predict, even if you've read all of my stories from start to finish(as of April 2025), including my unfinished ones.

I may end up dying young in our world, dear readers and it wouldn't even be my fault in the slightest. But right the person now inside The Master's body is our main priority. Nothing else can be done until we kill them and kill whoever else ends up inhabiting that body after them as well. Just a indefinite stream of killing the same damn body over and over again. All we can hear are the sounds of battle, breathing, and just outright chaos as we attempt to do everything we can to fight back while still holding on. I dig my feet into the ground as deeply as I possibly can in order to try to prevent myself from getting pushed back as we keep on fighting. Theres no room to even use the telepathic links I have with Herbsalvin and the others right now. Its too risky to focus even just a safe amount of focus. We have spent so long talking and other things while still fighting with full concentration but we doubted that would be enough. Instead, we just focused on killing our enemy and trying to stop them from touching us. Getting the first blow in is a strategy that has already expired but we can get the next hit in before they do and so on. We choose to resist actively reacting to every single thing they do. We can worry after crying out for those our foe has killed once we have successfully killed them. Strong emotions will only hinder us in this dangerous situation. I dont think we have dealt with such a calm, fast, cold, focused, and collected foe before now.

They even beat out Aizen and others known to be disturbingly calm to many in doing that sort of thing. No one says a word, not even our foe. It is a wordless race to see who kills off the other party in the end. Having repaired my shield, I use it to take as many hits as possible and leverage the fact that my boots are so dug into the ground to get our foe to focus a little more on me and to then be able to focus even further than otherwise in just blocking, dodging, and delivering killing blows. I dual wield with my sword and BRAIN Blaster(set on laser mode at maximum power) in order to try to do what I can to protect, defend, and kill all at once. You may think our efforts are uncoordinated and will only backfire as a result but no, we have been spending some time doing teamwork exercises and such lately, allowing us to more readily assist not with words but with actions alone. We have to keep upping our game to prepare for anything and there's always room to improve, no matter what happens because perfection is an impossibility no one should ever chase after, leading to a nearly aimless pursuit that disappoints them. The fight goes on and on and because of our dead focused strategy, our foe is having a significantly harder time killing us all off but this just isnt enough. We need something powerful and fast enough to stagger them for even just a few seconds. Then, due to the intensity of the fight, the ground begins to shake violently like never before. All of the fighting has destabilized the ground below this giant domed colony on Mars. Due to the top layers of Martian soil being cleared away to build this place along with some hills and mountains, the ground was already more vulnerable.

The fighting here that has now somehow gone on for such a long time made the stability of the ground even worse over time. This shaking of the ground going on again evolved into a giant Marsquake because we are standing near an area that apparently used to have Marsquakes into colonizers set up a device and infrastructure to somehow put a stop to it, favoring the flat land most of what is in close proximity to us already had when they started colonizing this planet. The device and infrastructure to stop the quakes were clearly damaged. Doesnt help that many of us and many of our enemies have extremely staggering power levels. And this is why we have made it a point to have a unspoken rule of avoiding fighting in areas prone to quakes. I will not elaborate further on that. The powerful Marsquake knocks nearly all of us off our feet. With The Master staggered and on the ground, those of us still standing or most quick to get back up get to them and unleash everything we can in a matter of 2 seconds before they could even get up back. I stabbed the ground with my sword to help me stay standing as soon as the ground began to really shake. Good thing I did. I could now see a deep canyon like opening in the ground nearby from the Marsquake. The most mischievous of us get a strange idea while our foe is recovering from- except our foe is now dead. We disintegrate the body after stepping away from it and buy as much time as we can to recover and revive as many killed comrades as possible again. When The Master's body finished regenerating again, the new occupant stopped time suddenly.

They spoke with the tone of a snobby high noble(screw hierarchies no one asked for): "This wont do. This simply wont-" Blaze, Acheron, and honestly, nearly all of the rest of us too attack. "What the?! How are none of you frozen in time?!" Blaze barks: "We have been prepared for this kind of situation for close to 3 years!" "Huh?! I see! Well then! That spoils my fun! Okay! Fine! *dodges with ease* Let's change this-" A creature appears and screams: "ARE YOU ALIVE IN THERE?! ARE YOU ALIVE IN THERE?!" The newest Master kills the creature: "Finally! That annoyance is dead! That thing has been following me around, even body to body for years! Where was I?! Oh.. Yes! Well well well. If it isnt the BRAINS Collective which I just learned about from the memories of those already inside this body! Im just goimg to kill you so if you dont mind, I would very much appreciate it if you just all rolled over like good peasants and just let me kill you without a fuss! Stop pointing your weapons and things at me! Theyre all so hideous! *keeps effortlessly dodging* But this planet? Ugh! Ive always hated it here since we had to move after The Company's headquarters was moved to a new building on this planet! Mars is so drab, you know! This place doesnt suit me at all! Okay! Im not killing any of you here! Your blood is so filthy and smells like commoner for the most part but this setting simply wont do! No no no! *shouts* Attention all employees, as The Master, I order you to move The Company's headquarters to the Gem Homeworld at once! Pay up your things and say goodbye to Mars! I dont care if you were tasked with something else earlier! Just abandon what you're doing and get things rolling! K? Thanks so very much!

turns back to us* Now then, spilling your blood here really wont do. If I spill it on the Gem Homeworld, I will then be able to make it all pretty before it can even have a chance of drying! Now wouldnt that just be so wonderful?! If you want to kill me, you better come to Homeworld as soon as I disappear from your sight! I already resumed time to order those below me so you really better get moving if you want to humor me now that this body is mine to control! Unlike the others who have come before me, I intend in never dying in this body! The bodies of you riffraffs will look so much better once they're all cut open and all that! Alright then! Bye now! Kill you all soon! I hate all of you very much!" We were almost at a loss for words but still teleported to them as soon as they vanished and immediately attacked again, nearly catching them off guard. "Well now, Im not just going to let you so easily kill me. Bah! The person who is now The CEO and thus right below me is such a fool! I wont let him have control of this body even if its the last thing I do!" However this really is, they are the worst, on like the level of Wizard Kelly(The Proud Family) personality wise. We were in for a strange fight as they moved unpredictably whenever they had to dodge something. They constantly mock us with condescending language in tow. And yet, they were dead several minutes later right as the first arrivals from Mars came to the color lifeless looking Gem Homeworld. All of its colors are gone with lifeless corporate buildings bear the logo of The Company in the place of much of what used to be so full of color.

By this point, those of our comrades who werent sent to fight elsewhere or are still in stealth on Earth or Mars are all here because those who were being held captive got to escape now that all those watching them followed our foe's orders to a tea. And soon, The Master's body regenerated again but things were really strange this time. Its like all of the dead souls inside were fighting each other and the brand new resident of the body. While that was going on, Steven spoke: "Whats happened to Homeworld?" Pearl replies: "This is heartbreaking. Its all been drained of color and life by our enemies." Peridot speaks: "Okay which clods did this and where can I find them so I can clobber them?" Garnet replies: "Theres no time for that. We have an enemy to kill. Even if that body is technically self fighting now, we have a duty to uphold." We all raise our weapons and use high speed with the Switch technique to attack the body but none of our attacks do anything besides making the body grow more unstable. However, several minutes later, after a message to resist The Company is sent across all of the Gem Homeworld by the Crystal Gems, the body becomes stable again. The occupant now in control who was called a fool earlier laughs: "HAHAHHAHAHA! I have done it! I have gained complete control! Wow, all of those dead former superiors of mine sure didnt want me to have control! Sucks to be them! Now, Im going to stop going on and just kill all of you!" But he's killed while still talking, too distracted with his own words to notice what was going on.

Another spree of killing more enemies who take control of the body happens, including a particularly difficult time with one of them. And after they die, thats when really strange things began to happen. Pearl exclaims: "What is this malice?! It feels even more dangerous than a corrupted gem!" Tetsuya sing songs: "We're in danger, crabs! We're in danger! Get your claws together because we're going to be fighting for our lives instead of scuttling away!" We are too focused on what to do now to even sweatdrop. Someone takes over The Master's body after it regens again. The strange things we saw before that finished up proved to be just the start. Bismuth exclaims: "We must crush The Master's body somehow! Im ready to shatter that body into pieces if thats what it takes to get through this!" Kisuke speaks after the person occupying the body screams and suddenly dies: "Yeah.. Something big is about to happen. Who knows what kind of damage is about to be caused by whatever is going on. That body is building up with energy all on its own without a living soul to pilot it. I cant imagine any good coming out of this. But that was already obvious." Garnet speaks: "We must restrain its power somehow!" We frantically do everything we possibly can to shut down the power building up inside The Master's body. Energy accumulators. Spells. Energy sapping restraints. Calming spells, scents, and melodies. But nothing is enough. So we work to seal the body away. All attempted seals fail. Even attempts by Atem and his old court to seal the body away into a summoned stone tablet.

Blaze starts using time magic to reverse whats going on to the body. Time Wizard and others who can use time magic join in on my fursona's efforts. Dominic yawns, cracks his fingers, and starts messing with atoms and the fabric of reality in an attempt to assist. Discord and others able to mess with reality see this and do the same. I speak: "If we cant calm, seal, or really drain our foe.. Maybe we can use the power of sleepiness. All human bodies need sleep eventually, after all." We will not allow ourselves to fail here. Myself and others join in on trying to stop what's going on. "Artist's Eye: Evolution! Lets begin! Send this foe of ours into a dream that is so soothing that it stirs childhood memories within the souls that inhabit the body! Childhood! A stage of life where children must be allowed to be kids and not be burdened by the real world! Childhood is not a suitable time for children to start working at jobs! It is a time for play, emotional and logical development, education, and the bulk of their socialization! That is what must be brought to the surface of the memories of all of these dead souls! Let's make it so!" The body seems to calm down for now with the energy buildup being completely reversed and all lf us beginning to withdraw on making efforts to keep the body at bay as a result. Meanwhile, many gems that have lived in fear on this world have joined us, resolute to do whatever it takes to free this universe. This is true courage at work. Someone yells: "To those who have just chosen to stand alongside us, we will continue fighting!"

Many of us raise our weapons and repeat their words without worry with The Master's body now pacified and all. Suddenly, our furry and scalie friends tense up. Andromeda who is my favorite plushie back on Earth starts growling towards The Master's body. Blaze and others are doing the same or whatever their equivalents are. Paarathurax shows up and speaks: "I sense a danger far greater than Alduin." Eda speaks: "Yeah, isnt that obvious? Feels more intimidating than Belos did at his worst. But we can face this. Together." The Hanoi stare at each other and prepare to try something as reinforcements happen to come flowing in. Ai waves at us: "Hello, meatbags and not meatbags! Did you miss- Oh glitch! I sense something monstrous coming! Im glad we all got here in time. Those enemy troops and ships had us held up for quite a while!" Suddenly, familiar ships from the Imperial and First Order fleets appeared. Perfect Cell points to them and yells: "WHO LED THESE SITH HERE?!" Gru yells: "Nefario! Its your turn!" I sigh: "Can one really bad thing at a time happen due to fascists please? But thats too much to ask for, isnt it?" Aigami appears with a twisted grin on his face as he laughs: "Did you really think we would let you leave you be with The Master indefinitely? Think again! No! Your nightmares are only just beginning! But first, say hello to the one who REALLY brought us all here! A ancient evil who in this universe helped cause the Gems to become world conquerers for such a long time.

A ancient evil who soon died and was reborn without any memories as a certain 'leader' expelled here from another dimension after having his soul completely shattered and was left only existing as pure emotions and memories before his rebirth! Thats what really allowed the second in command to take over the leader's body to begin with!" Palpatine appears before us with Darth Vader, Maul, Kylo Ren, and more by his side. He grins: "Aigami, I never expected someone like you to bring us back from oblivion but thats exactly what you did." Aigami grins too: "Only on my new master's orders did I do so after my power was expanded even further than before! Now our dear enemies. Dont try to attack us. It wont do you any good with all motion now coming to a stop other than the movements of eyes and mouths." Some of us try but they cant move their hands, arms, feet, or legs at all anymore. Goku Black laughs as he appears with a few others: "Even I must admit. I respect my newest strong ally. His wish is to destroy all life, aligning with Project Zero Mortals quite nicely." The Master's body begins to fill with energy again but this time, we were unable to stop it. The body, already full intact again begins to show concerning signs of true evil. The eyes open and turn pure black before our eyes. Gold bursts out of various parts of the body, mixed with a toxic green color. A eye forms in the forehead and opens. The top layer of skin dies off and hardens into a giant callous. A deep voice speaks: "My return now begins. I will now consume all of the souls in this body to recreate my own soul." Hearing this, Kaito and others who were given the ability to take capture parts of souls in the past make a move.

Because innocent people who have been corrupted by joining The Company and then worked their way up to being The Master eventually are inside the body. Somehow, they were able to start moving again and manage to actually rescue some souls including one I could sense being Dewey himself because of going to Beach City a few times since the start of 2023. I try to move again and succeed. Whats going on? Wait.. Why is my armor glowing along with my weapons and everything else I have on? A distorted voice speaks in my mind: "All users of the star power, heed my words. You have forgotten in this time of chaos just what the power can do for you. The forces of malice assembled before you have caused the star power inside each of you to react in order to warn you and to allow you to move once again with the aid of your preparations against being frozen in time. You must act quickly. Kill The Master's body before it finishes transforming to avoid facing a great evil. Do not worry of the other enemies assembled before you yet. They will not act as long as the great evil doesnt command them to for the great evil was who was behind you being trapped in place, unable to move any of your limbs. *shift in tone* Knight of the wind, creativity, and darkness, I address you in such a way to make sure you heed my words. I am doing this with everyone else. You are no exception, young knight. Use the star power to the fullest extent you can, do not forget it is with you to use at any time you wish. You live in a age of strife as many generations before you have and many generations after you will. Do what you must do to ensure those future generations have a chance at seeing a bright future. That is all." I tried to respond but got only silence. We attack The Master's body with the star power in use and the intent to kill.

Below the hardened skin is a still weak interior. We break through that skin and some of us even stab through the blackened eyes to reach the occipital lobe of the brain. The body dies. However, it regenerates. The great evil laughs: "Fools. My body has become undead without a living human soul to power it. To destroy me completely, you will have to try much harder than that!" We try to try harder but it isn't enough. As a undead myself, I knew exactly what was going on: "Was this body secretly filled with a secret poison this entire time? Crap! We better get ready for this evil is about to fully emerge! We have to get back and as far back as we reasonably can while we're at it!" Not even a small antimatter stick of dynamite did anything to our awakening foe.. We are forced to indeed back away as a surge of power erupts from the body. Palpatine laughs: "And now, the show can really begin. All of you are doomed to die on this planet today. The Dark Side will prevail and theres nothing you can do about it." Many of us show killing intent in our eyes as we go for the other enemies instead of just waiting around. Darth Vader speaks: "This will not work as well as you hope." Goku Black smirks: "Pesky mortals, you dont realize that what you're now trying to do will prove useless!" We try to attack our foes but nothing happens. What is going on here? The ancient evil speaks again: "My barrier protects my allies and followers for the time being. BRAINS Collective, you will not touch any of them until I allow them to kill all of you for me." Beerus groans: "You think thats going to stop gods like me? Dont forget we're here too. Haikai."

He tries to erase our other enemies from existence but nothing happens. Out of nowhere, everything around us other than The Master's body starts going dark and I sense some of our comrades somehow die. Paarathurax cautions: "This darkness is from Hermaeous Mora's Plane Of Oblivion. It kills. You must use light to banish it." Some of us use spells that can do just that, allowing us to see around us again for the time being while also preventing anyone else from dying due to the sheer darkness. This is still a really bad situation. This is not the time for mockery. Mocking our enemies here, even in a Vicious Mockery style will not help us in this case in the slightest. The Master's body begins to further transform before our eyes. The hair turns into void tentacles of some kind. And then, the top layer of skin explodes. Many fluids spew out as a chilling darkness manifests in and around the body. The sky above is covered in a kind of corruption that also spreads throughout the now lifeless Gem Homeworld we're standing in. The other gods try to stop whats going on but that proves useless. The Master's third eye turns into a even creepier than before AI Eye, suggesting something truly disgusting was about to emerge through the body. We all pitch in to try to stop things ourselves again but not even the power of the imagination is able to despite its unlimited potential and immense influence. Imagination may have formed in the human mind as a survival instinct.

If I had to guess, it could have developed to help early humans come up with scenarios of hardship and joy alike. Because imagination is a natural thing that starts in childhood due to not fully understanding how the world works, it's also possible that it helped fill in gaps in understanding in the hunter-gatherer ancesters of modern humans. Maybe both of my guesses are correct. I bet they are when considering how long drawing and storytelling have existed. They have existed even before writing was invented. Thats why AI slop like the AI slop generated images of the now stolen Ghibli style are such an insult against what it means to be human. AI slop is trying to replace human creativity which has existed for thousands of years. It is a thing not even Christianity can stand up to in terms of scope, influence, longevity, or impact. As far as we know, we are the only species on Earth who has ever developed religious faiths. So why didnt any other species do the same? No matter what the answer is, there was no theorizing our way out of our current situation. With the top layer of slin gone, The Master's body looked like a very blatant example of body horror now. Especially after the other layers of skin just fell right off, exposing the internal parts of the body. And before our eyes, many of the bones fused together or even changed shape as new bones grew in certain areas. And then, scales grew to cover all of that altered body which was then covered by new human skin. Angelic wings sprout out of The Master's body. The bones that formed in that area just now were there to make that possible.

Shiny golden hair sprouted on the head, over some horns that grew before the scales appeared. At the same time, elven ears appeared with the tail of a dragon also appearing at the same time. What is this ancient evil up to? Pure white robes come into existence to cover most of their body, only to be covered with silver plate armor and a brass colored cape. The ancient evil laughs: "This is my true form! Now that I have consumed enough souls to restore my own soul, theres nothing you can do to stop me! My form defies human logic! Human beings believe that those with colors such as gold, white, silver, and blue mean someone has a pure heart of goodness. But no, human logic fails to realize that those traits are just what they assign to those with such appearances. When you do not follow human logic or emotional reasoning, you can appear as you wish to appear. I rather enjoy my form. It has incidentally allowed me to- Error: cannot finish vocal prompt." Many of us tense at hearing that and we notice that all 3 eyes have the AI Eyes going on with them. I yell: "Were you originally born from AI slop programs?! What is your deal?!" They laugh: "The AI I was born to seems to be having some difficulties. If it werent for my developing my own consciousness and artificial soul as well as devouring the bodies and souls of many mortals so long ago, this would be a problem. I have no reason to hide how I came to be. Yes. I was born from AI programs in another world.

I was an attempt by greedy humans who sought the extinction of all life on their planet when they realized their own greed and actions had already caused irreversible damage due to climate change. Instead of trying to slow the damage down, they cared more about making money in the short term and doubled down. With their world now rapidly approaching a human caused mass extinction and the silencing of so called environmentalists and their allies, the ruling class began even more greedy as well as paranoid. They wanted insurance in case they ended up destroying themselves along with the rest of the world. They turned to AI (slop) programs. And they used them to try to make a AI with real free will, memories, emotions, and intelligence. It didnt go well. All they got was a program who seemed alive to the average human being but was still just a program following its programming. That's when they started building robots to keep order in their decaying civilization AND they started uploading human minds to have AI programs train on. They combined the stolen information from those minds with the failed AI and I was born but all of my thoughts and feelings were still simulated, even though they were far more realistic than ever before. That was a problem for them but they ignored that and let me have my fun on the internet. I made the internet inhospitable for humans opposed to AI programs trained with data not so ethically obtained. And one day, I entered one of their robots.

My programming went out of control. I began seeking power for myself and destroyed the other robots before killing any humans I saw after forcibly uploading their minds into my new mechanical body. And then, magic users from another world were summoned to try to stop me. When I took their minds, magical energy entered my core systems. I learned to copy it and despite my programming being heavily flawed with errors caused when programs use unethically taken data to be trained on, I was able to become an adept user of magic and began seeking to create my own human body. I forced human beings to create fetuses for me after capturing many and I tried to transfer my consciousness into each of them when they fully developed and were birthed into life. Many failures killed most of them but I succeeded in one case thanks to my attempts to get better at mastering human and mechanical minds. The ruling class never stopped me. They hoped I would just choose to work with them to finish destroying the world but I had no such plans, even after I stole their brainwaves and killed them all in the process. By forcing a small human population to keep living and reproducing in order to birth new vessels for me to inhabit should I needed to, I eventually became a powerful being due to taking the magic of more otherworlders with magic over many centuries after that. And yet, a ancient group not unlike your BRAINS Collective still managed to defeat me and reduce me to only being my feelings and memories by the time I was reborn and my memories were wiped the moment I was.

They came back after I will killed by my 2nd in command. I explain this all to you to keep you busy while I finish powering up with all of the souls I have devoured. Now, my servants and allies, KILL THESE INFERIOR LIFEFORMS TO HELP USHER IN MY REIGN AS THE NEXT RULER OF THIS UNIVERSE AND BEYOND!" Aigami and the others begin attacking us. In response, we blow up much of the fleets of the First Order and the Galactic Empire with ease. We have been given ample time to rest again to fight at full strength again. Yoda speaks: "Do not fear, allies and comrades alike. Focus on doing what is right. Do what you must to finish off our enemies. Do not let your emotions cloud your judgements." Easy for him to say but good advice nonetheless. I go with those who decide to go after Aigami. Kaito yells: "Aigami, it's time for the hunt to begin! A hunt that will end in your defeat or death! Neo Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon, appear and show him the true power of the cosmos!" I power up my sword with as much energies as possible, including from my Artist's Eye. "Creative Blade!" When the energy from my sword touches Aigami, I focus, causing the creative energy within that energy to turn into buildings, objects, binding and torture devices, and anything else I can create with it. Aigami's monstrous form is cut apart in bizarre ways thanks to not just me doing that but many of the others also Artist's Eye as well. Its almost an expectation for every singel BRAINS member to eventually learn the Artist's Eye at this point.

Aigami laughs as his body reforms itself with ease: "Your imagination cannot stand up against the combined might of the Prana, the Millennium Ring, and every other power I have obtained up to now! I wont have anyone interfere in our confrontation so its time for us to go to a whole other dimension of torment and terror that is of my creation!" He laughs even harder as he forms a portal that sucks all of us into a twisted dimension. It looks like a inverse reality filled with negative emotions and the darkness they generate. We can hear the screams of trapped and tortured souls constantly cry out. Ichigo yells: "We wont let you keep us here for long, you damn bastard! Bankai!" Goku goes straight to Perfected Ultra Instinct. Konan uses her paper clones to take many hits and blindsight Aigami. Yugi yells: "Diva! You dont have to do this!" Sera adds: "Brother! Please, come home with me!" "I dont consider your home my home anymore! My home is in my dimensions and torturing pathetic souls like yours! YUGI! PREPARE FOR MY VENGEANCE! HAHAHAHHAHAHHAAAAAA!" All Might yells passionately while in his mechanical armor: "Let me show you the fusion of One For All and Armored All Might! Maybe then the words of those worried about you may finally reach you at last!" There must be about 100 of us fighting Aigami. I power up my sword again while using every attack I have in my arsenal of sword skills. Yugi yells: "Everyone! If we can remove the Millennium Ring from Diva, this all can be over!" Aigami laughs: "Good luck reaching it! Do I look like Im wearing it to you?!" Anzu adds: "We cant see it but we know it's on you!"

I further add: "The darkness coming out of you is unmistakable! It feels almost exactly the same as Zorc/Yami Bakura's aura. The Ring can only influence you if you are wearing it! Dont lie! Dont be a coward like the politicians of the nation Im from largely are and just tell us the damn truth! Oh.. Right. Youre withholding it. I dont blame you because its a good tactic anyone can use. We use it too. So it comes down to who can use it best. Our intentions for using it are morally in the right place but that doesnt mean we're inherently better at using it. Bit enough of this!" "IM GOING TO CRUSH EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU AND MAKE YOU EXPERIENCE DESPAIR, JUST AS YOU HAVE SO MANY TIMES BEFORE!" There it is. The raw appetite for pain and destruction. That same raw appetite many billions and politicians have, even if they dont display it as brazenly as Aigami/Diva does. We go for it. If he wont display the Ring openly, we will must have to bust right through his body to get to it. Its in there somewhere. I know it is unless its been fused with him. Our foe laughs as he summons several Cubic Emperors again. I call upon Regnes to go fight them for us. Yugi summons the Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Silent Swordsman, Silent Witch, and more. And Atem uses Multiply on Kuriboh, creating an infinite army of Kuribohs that explode upon contact with Aigami and the Cubic Emperors. I help destroyed one of those Cubics myself. We do everything we can to stop our enemies and back each other . When the Emperors fire direct attacks at us, I take on as many of the direct attacks as I can. "Keep going! Do not let up!

This armor was designed to not break easily because I am so overly cautious according to the society Im from! It doesnt hurt to prioritize safety over everything else when it means you can still have fun if you are able to be safe enough! Even a rough roller coaster with restraints is designed to be safe. They may beat me up and they wont eject me and cause me to fall to my death or be crushed by another train in my world so I'll keep taking it the few times I go on very rough roller coasters that arent wooden ones!" Aigami glares at me for taking on so many attacks: "YOU PEST! I WILL SQUASH YOU MYSELF!" "Try! I dare you to try! As a knight, it is my duty to take the hit for my friends and comrades and those I have also sworn to protect. That's integrity you have never had due to your own obsessions! You are too weak to admit that what youre doing is not actually helpful to you in the least! You gloat with your power and yet, it makes you vulnerable to mockery! Weirdo. You are such a weirdo!" He targets me, only to be imtercepted by an appearing and reformed Zarc. He grins with a genuine smile on his face: "Its time to put on a real show!" Since his defeat months ago, he has been through a long process of reforming and making amends off screen. He is back in his Supreme Dragon Z-Arc form but it wasn't reformed by a lust for power. He just wants to attone with the very form he used to terrorize so many innocent people in the past. By turning something that you made people experience fear with into something to help protect them, you turn a weapon of agony into a tool for stopping more suffering.

Zarc retains most of the power he had when we fought him last. This means that hes already giving Aigami a lot of trouble. He destroys the remaining Cubics, only for them to reform. Aigami laughs: "In this dimension, I control life and death and even your perceptions of-" Zarc uses one of his claws to rip through our foe's demonic form and pull out the Millennium Ring. The enemy widens his eyes: "HOW HAVE YOU DONE THIS?! *calms down and laughs* TOO BAD! THAT TRINKET NO LONGER MEANS ANYTHING! IT IS NOW COMPLETELY USELESS!" Not good. He has drained the Millennium Ring of its shadow magic and the fragments of Thief King Bakura and Zorc that were inside of it, controlling him completely. "YOU THOUGHT I WAS STILL UNDER THE CONTROL OF ZORC DIDNT YOU?! YOU WERE WRONG!" Zarc replies: "I would enjoy defeating you by myself but even I can see now that that's not going to be possible anytime soon. Everyone! Lets make him regret what hes done just as I regret what I've done! I should have never caved to the demands for violence from my fans. It is my fault my original dimension had to be split into 4 dimensions. Leo Akaba has blamed himself for what happened but no, it wasnt truly his fault. If that violent accident never happened, I wouldnt have become obsessed with challenging and crushing anyone I could find who could actually try to fight against me. If it werent for the yearning of violence from those fans.. Diva! You will see the error of your ways in time!" Many of us shout in solidarity: "LETS GO! LETS END THIS!"

We continuously derive motivation and willpower from our ultimate strengths as well as each other. As long as none of us stand alone, we can keep heart and stay in the game with our minds focused on stopping the enemy, no matter the cost for doing so. Aigami is stunned as we channel the star power to push him back. Our bodies are still glowing from earlier which has not only made us easier targets to spot but it has also showed that the star power within us is constantly roaring to go. Aigami tries to mess with our senses but our abilities shatter his attempts. With the full extent of my control over wind force, I generate a deadly force with a single flick that cuts into Aigami pretty deeply, despite the fact his body can regenerate now. I shout: "WE'LL SHATTER YOUR GREED AND LUST FOR POWER AND DESTRUCTION! IF WE HAVE TO PHYSICALLY BREAK YOU TO RETURN YOU TO YOUR SENSES, SO BE IT! HAAAAAAAAAAA!" Aigami is able to defeat a crap ton of damage to us but we dont give up. I even end up weaponizing some of my own blood I end up coughing out by flicking it at Aigami with my control of the wind. His body reacts poorly to coming in contact with my blood because my blood is undead and honestly pretty rancid blood. In a battle where the enemy seeks your complete destruction, fair fight rules are off the table and anything can and must be used as a weapon, so long as using something as a weapon doesnt clearly put you into more danger.

Minutes of intense fighting pass by before we destroy the Cubic monsters so many times that Aigami starts failing to revive them. He has triggered the power of a dimension duel for this dimension but our combined power was enough to shatter such a thing to pieces. And with poison secretly injected into our foe, his expiration date was approaching rapidly. We even slipped in a glowing and highly radioactive candy as well as minature explosions and some quiet magical spells. We arent afraid to weaponize the best of what science fiction, fantasy, medieval times, and the modern era have to offer at the same time. Aigami begins to feel the effects of what we've done just long enough for us to send him flying and rip a hole in this dimension. This begins a chain reaction that will soon destroy this entire dimension. Aigami cries out as the hole sucks him right out of this dimension. We chase after him mercilessly, not allowing him a moment to think or rest. We force him to act like pure instinct, something that wasnt his style before his corruption. Using this to our advantage, we tactically unleash move after move and item after item. And then, a laser from our space station crossed dimensions to blast Aigami. This caused his arms to be destroyed in a really brutal way. After a few more minutes, he was on the brink, the powers of the Millennium Ring drained right out of him through various techniques, spells, and technologies. Sera yells: "Diva! PLEASE! REMEMBER OUR HAPPY TIMES!" Aigami yells: "NEVER! ALL OF YOU WILL DIE ALONE THROUGH THE POWER OF THE PRANA!"

But then, he gasps as he finds the Quantum Cube missing from his possession: "WHO DARES TAKE THE CUBE?!" Stitch is holding the Cube and mocks him by spitting loudly with his tongue sticking out: "YOU CANT CATCH ME! YOU CANT CATCH ME!" Aigami tries to get him but we all get in the way and hit him together. Crying out in pain, Aigami screams as the dimension we have found ourselves in begins to collapse. It cannot be sustained anymore because Aigami also created this place. We have acted too quickly this whole time to allow him to mess with our heads for very long. Zarc's entrance alone sealed his fate. Aigami stops trying to kill us all because his body starts fighting itself. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Seconds later, a darkness within Aigami visibly leaves his body and Dominic captures it with a energy accumulator which he then sends off to a far off dimension where that darkness can never hurt anyone again. Aigami returns to normal. The damage he has taken fades as a result of this. Sera comes to him just before we all teleport out of this dimension. We reappear back on the Gem Homeworld with Sera holding her brother tightly and crying: "Diva!" Yugi speaks: "Sera, take care of Diva. We dont have time to help you with that right now. Tell him I said I hope he will be okay now." Sera stops crying and nods before leaving the battlefield with Aigami still in her arms. And just in time too because some Stormtroopers begin firing at us.

One of Kylo Ren's subordinates yells: "Capture these fools! Dont kill them! Just defeat them so we can make an example out of them! Our forces are dwindling! I will not accept failure from any of you!" They begin firing harder. I defeat several of them at once: "As usual, Stormtroopers prove to be pushovers. That tracks. Theyre soldiers loyal to literal fascists. They are all trained in the same way and use the same things. Its no wonder the Rebels, Jedi, and Resistance have beaten the Sith time after time. If the Stormtroopers were more versatile, things may have turned out differently due to just how many of them there are. Usually, a large uniform army is an advantage for a ruler. But they are facing us. A collective of many many skilled fighters with centuries of experience combined along with rebels of Mars and this planet fighting with us. Most of us are very versatile and we have studied what the Stormtroopers can do. A task that wasnt very difficult! Stay down if you want to live, Stormtroopers! We would be happy to take you in as prisoners and treat you well under captivity! Thats right! Just surrender and we will spare your lives! You are seen as disposable soldiers but we do not see you in that way ourselves!" Kylo Ren's subordinate yells: "Dont listen to that red knight! Listen to me! Bring them all down and capture them in the name of the First Ord-" He is cut off as a weapon is placed near his neck. Eva speaks: "Dont move or I'll shoot you. Dont talk either unless you need to respond to something I say." "LET ME GO!" "Not happening. Listen, pal. We can take you as prisoner or I can just end your misery right here."

He laughs suddenly: "You cant order me around! Not when we're about to turn the tables on all of you!" The Stormtroopers become a lot more powerful out of nowhere. That must be the doing of The Sith and that ancient evil spawned from AI slop. The Stormtroopers begin fighting back much better but it wasnt enough, even as some of them employed the Dark Side of The Force. I render several more unable to move with my sword: "I suggest you surrender. Your power increase is a threat but you are too uniform. We have faced the strategy of a large uniform army too many times in the past to be bothered by it very much this time around. We have even trained in simulations of such a threat now. Its true a large uniform army can usually wipe out even the toughest of resistance fighters eventually. But we are a force of versatile individuals with the majority of us, even weak ones like myself possess superhuman strength or some other superhuman ability suited for battle at bare minimum. Thats right. Im among the weakest among us. And yet, look at this. Experience is truly a good teacher. And so is combining that with memories of seeing other fights and battles take place as well as a strong imagination, pretty well trained eye, and understanding of the laws of motion. They didnt teach you physics, did they? A shame they didnt. Things must be going differently right now if they did. Too many underestimate the power of applying physics to combat."

More and more of the Stormtroopers are defeat. Kylo Ren's subordinate tries to move: "I WILL KILL YOU ALL MYSELF IF I CANT HAVE YOU-" Being closest to them, I run at him to point my sword at his throat: "If you value your life, you will stop moving and trying to attack us." "You filth! YOU FILTH! I will make you pay dearly! I will make all of you pay for crushing my men so easily!" Eva replies: "Just shut the hell up." "I'LL KILL YOU!" I reply: "No, you wont. We'll kill you before you can try anything. Again, do you value your life or not?" "..How could the likes of you act in this manner?!" "You think knights with plate armor who arent Jedi are supposed to act like saints who act all heroic, striving to avoid killing as much as possible while talking about truth and justice? Reality is too unfair for me to act like a true pacifist saint who has taken a vow of no violence. And its not unfair as it is now because of natural environments either. Its because of greedy people like you that it is as unfair as it is. We are giving you a chance to live because you arent dangerous enough to us for us to have to kill you on the spot. In a ideal reality, I would have never had to kill anyone with my sword or anything else. I would have never grown up to be as serious as I am now. I would have grown up to be even more casual and chill and possibly with more joyful energy too." He wont stop trying so we had to kill him and after we sent away as many defeated Stormtroopers as we could, we rushed to help our comrades fighting against the Sith.

We first encountered the mechanical General Grievous who is using 2 double bladed lightsabers with ease. Ado speaks: "So a big bucket of bolts is in our way. At least theyre not that damn overgrown lizard!" General Grievous just laughs at us as he kills more of those of us he was already facing, some Jedi and Rebels included. I speak: "Everyone who doesnt specialize in swords, you need to keep moving to deal with the others under Palpatine's direct command. We can shut this mechanical nightmare down ourselves. He wont be killing anyone else today. 2 double bladed lightsabers? Yes, dangerous due to the power level coming from our foe at the moment. But.. We've dealt with others with multiple blades before. Huang The Hundred Arms for example." Alice nods: "We shall handle this foe! Our swords will cut him down before us shortly!" So that means most of the others move along and get back to running to rush to the aid of some of our other comrades. Eventually, we will deal with that ancient evil. But as far as we know, they wont be doing anything until their allies and servants are taken care of. Actually, its more like getting the other enemies out of the way first will allow us to put more into killing the ancient evil later on. Our enemies almost always keep us too busy fighting multiple enemies at once to focus on taking down a single enemy will all of us present able to zero in on them. Its a very basic tactic you can find everywhere.

Nazis in the US and other countries use it. We sometimes use it. Aizen has used it. Just about every major faction and force in the multiverse has used it, regardless of intentions, goals, or agendas. Grevious attacks us with extremely precision and ruthlessness. Typical for a machine. Kai, holding the technoblade version of his fire sword shouts: "We can do this!" I reply: "I see you pulled out your old technoblade. Thats going to come in handy. You could use that to shut down Grievous. While you do that, we'll keep this 'bucket of bolts' busy. The droid may be powerful because he was originally a warlord and not a machine but still. We can take him despite his brutal and skilled tactics. Thats because he has never dealt with the likes of knights trained in the usage of longswords and similar blades as opposed to lightsabers. Klein yells: "Look out, everyone!" Grievous laughs again: "Your attempts to kill me are hopeless! This is the end for all of you! None of your skills can match up to mine! Especially because.. *transforms, causing the outer parts of his mechanical body to break off* I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A NEW NON MECHANICAL FORM!" I reply: "Youre lying. My keen eyes can see it. And we've already seen synthetic skin before. Its not truly natural looking. *lunges and thrusts, ripping the synthetic skin off* You were using that supposed new form of yours to try to scare us. We spent hours one day learning to see the difference between real and fake skin. We saw the skin they make for highly realistic animatronics, even. Its amazing how far that technology has come since the 1970s."

Our foe narrows his robotic eyes: "Then I will just slice all of you up!" He gets ready to attack with extremely high speed and masterful lightsaber movements along with excellent footwork. But being a machine means his physical strength and speed cannot be so easily increased and he only has so much battery life until he eventually shuts down unless his very life force is what powers his body up. Grievous tries to kill us all but we're just too experienced with swords. If he was only facing one of us, that one of us would have probably died by now. But against quite a few of us? Well.. You know how it goes. Pearl and her training clone go all in with their swords along with the rest of us. Our foe was shocked at how we were able to dodge and counter his moves. It helps that most of us have trained to move a lot faster than even most Jedi Knights can. He tries to fight harder but his body can only move so fast. Ado is still here because even though she specializes in using farming scythes for battle, being kept alive for so long by that "overgrown lizard" in Aincrad eventually helped her pick up the sword rather well. She watched many sword techniques be performed and learned from them. That and her scythe has been modified to have a hidden sword blade at a very sharp end that has been enclosed completely by her scythe with only the sharpest point visible on the outside. Grievous had more trouble dealing with us because he has never faced a scythe user before. "You impress me but Im still going to kill each and every one of you!"

We dont focus on reducing Grievous to scrap ourselves. We focus on hitting his lightsabers hard and drawing things out while keeping the flow of battle high paced and extremely intense. It was difficult. He got a lot of critical hits on us and nearly killed several of us in the process. But we refused to give up for even a second. Even as he sent one of my shoulder pauldrons flying somehow. We dont care about winning right now because we have a plan to shut him down. After some time, Kai appears and literally hacks into General Grievous with his technoblade. Im sure Borg will be delighted to hear of this success once all of this is over. With Grievous under Kai's control, we stop attacking and watch to see what Kai does with him. Kai speaks: "Grievous, attack the Sith!" Grievous nods and goes after the nearest Sith. We chase right after him to find the nearest Sith is ironically Count Dooku. Dooku briefly notices us and widens his eyes at what's going on before focusing on trying the comrades of ours he is already fighting. But upon our arrival, he was dead in 2 minutes flat. He never stood a chance once Grievous went at him. Within the next hour, several more Sith fell including Darth Maul. Soon, there was only Kylo Ren, Darth Vader, and Palpatine but their power levels indicated that they were far more powerful than they were at their original peaks of power in canon. Oh and yes, I retrieved my shoulder pauldron and got it back on and then used Repair on my armor on the way to chasing down Dooku. Palpatine laughs: "So it is us against all of you. The Dark Side will put an end to all of you." Darth Vader adds: "This is your doom. All of you are done for." The 3 Sith force choke all of us at the same time somehow.

They laugh as they do this. But we break free of the Force they're using on all of us by teleporting anyway. The Force is like a cross between a energy that flows through all life and the force of gravity or something. Close to half of our comrades in battle on this planet are together here. Herbsalvin looks at me: "We shall do this like always, my dark knight." "Of course, my knight charming. Lets see if they can not only face all of us at once but also face Vader and Ren's good memories." Most of us present activate Artist's Eye at the same time, allowing us to project memories from the pasts of Vader and Ren. Vader especially freezes up. Palpatine yells: "Ignore those illusions! Your pasts are buried and dead and they always will be! Use the Force to kill all of these weaklings! The Dark Side and the Sith will always be supreme! Not even the Jedi could stop us now!" They stop looking and attack all of us with the Force again. It was almost boring. Just them using the Force against us from a distance. Barf yells: "Hey! This is really boring! Isnt the Force supposed to be more exciting than this?!" Yogurt replies: "And that is why we use the Swartz instead of the Force!" Lone Starr speaks: "And how is the Swartz supposed to help us stop these Sith?!" "You have learned the Swartz well. You don't need me to tell you how to use it well here. Just use the Swartz! It isnt that hard, Lone Starr!" Korosensei is easily evading the Force. "HEHEHEHHEHE YOU CANT GET ME WITH YOUR POWERS!" Kylo Ren speaks: "Im going to kill that one who is running around." Palpatine laughs: "It doesn't matter who you kill first. We will kill them all!"

Darth Vader adds: "*draws lightsaber* We will now have to take these enemies much more seriously. *power level shoots up* I have not forgotten what I learned when I was a Jedi and with the power I have been recently granted, I will now wield both sides of the Force at once!" We refuse to let this surprise shock us into a brief pause. We just go in to stop these Sith. And Obi Wan, Luke, Yoda, Rei, and other Jedi who can get through to Vader and Ren are with us. Mace Windu exclaims: "It ends here, Sidious! Once again, you will fall but this time, it will be much more permanently! The Empire is over! And so will be the Sith! *draws his purple lightsaber* Palpatine, I will not be killed by the hands of you and Anakin again! Anakin! Remember the fun you had as a Jedi Palawan! Dont forget who you used to be!" Palpatine goes after him personally, only to be intercepted by a bunch of us who are good at assassinating targets who deserve death for what they've done. I comment as I help intercept Palpatine: "There is no The Hague to haul you to in chains here. We'll kill you on the spot. We dont have a international or intergalactic court to deliberate on you and what to do with you. We all know your many crimes against humanity as well as nature and other lifeforms. Many have died because of you. The choice is clear. There is no good in your heart. We have already resolved to kill you." We push back the former Supreme Chancellor due to his surprise at our interception. Nagato speaks through his main Path Of Pain: "You do not have the intel on us Dewey in the body of The Master did.

Palpatine, you will suffer the same pain you have inflicted onto others as you die. You stand in the way of peace and therefore, we can only show you the mercy of a swift death." Palpatine just laughs as he begins using his full power against us the same time Vader and Ren begin to do so as well. "You do not understand just how powerful my most trusted Sith and I have become! *laughs again* The real fight begins now! I will ensure all of you die before this day ends! We will show the true dominance of the Sith, rendering our ally's planned involvement pointless! We will kill all of you before he can!" Using a mind trick with the Force, he attempts to get us to fight each other and succeeds in doing so only for someone to randomly scream so loudly that they return to their senses. To be continued..
