Tyranny 2025

Chapter 17: Solar Wind Knight

Date: February 11th, 2025

But Gunnr doesnt seem that disappointed. Instead, she just grins and laughs even more: "Im going to enjoy making all of you suffer like you have never suffered before!" Except, we have already suffered many times in many ways most people should never possibly imagine on their own. Pito grins herself as she replies: "Do you have any idea of the misery we have all gone through?! You think you can even possibly top anything that has already happened to us?! Think again!" "So thats how it is. OH MORROC, GO SLAUGHTER THEM ALL WHILE I FINALLY GET MY REVENGE ON THE LITTLE ADVENTURER WHO HAS BEEN PESTERING ME AND RUINING MY PLANS FOR SUCH A LONG TIME!" Morroc's Fetus suddenly starts attacking some of our comrades harder and faster, killing several more in the process before moving around all over the battle area to attack us all including with attacks that contain massive AOEs. Meanwhile, Gunnr pulls my counterpart away from the rest of us using magic and we are unable to stop her due to her power level suddenly shooting up despite the successful efforts to weaken her. Takius yells: "They dont stand a chance alone against her!" I reply: "We need to finish off Morroc's Fetus. Maybe that will allow us to catch up with them because theres now a barrier preventing us from reaching them. I dont know. I just dont want them to fight her pretty much alone. Not in this situation. In the past, they could handle her fine on basically their own.

But not so much anymore. This is really messed up. Several of us are trying to bust the barrier including you already but nothing you do is working. Gunnr isn't just going to kill them outright. No, she separated them from us for a reason. Her desire for us to watch our comrades die in front of us clearly isnt at play here as much. I think she's going to torture my counterpart before killing them and prolong their agony for as long as possible. It pains me to say this but that actually buys us time to deal with Morroc. These words feel like poison, what I just said disgusts me. But because its the truth, we have to deal with it. The truth is more important to know than some sweet lie. Sweet lies only delay the inevitable. Sweet lies are the real poison in the end. I dont want a sweet lie. I want the truth and only the truth. We tell each other how things really are without much hesitation for a reason. *blocks an attack from Morroc's Fetus* Lets take care of this demon lord now." We all get into a raid party style position. But this time, we plan on doing it much more coordinated than last time. All those hours training formations and spontaneous teamwork are going to really come in handy here. But suddenly, Morroc starts laughing: "Its alraedy too late for all of you mortals." The ground starts shaking as darkness covers the sky. Lightning strikes. It now feels a lot colder around here. The nearby ocean water turns into a ocean of pure darkness. The infant stage enemy laughs again as he rapidly evolves. Seal marks around him appear out of nowhere only to break apart with ease. Morroc evolves into his true form: Demon Lord Morroc.

"Mortals, it is time for your end to begin!" Many of us start attacking his now gigantic form at once but that does nothing. "HAAAAAAA! RELEASE RECOLLECTION! CONTINUOUS GREAT INFERNAL TORNADO SLASH: 150! KAMEHAMEHA SLASH! AIR SLICE SLASH! WIND BREAK SLASH! TRUE SHADOW HURRICANE! SHADOWS, COME FORTH ONCE AGAIN AND CONSUME THE SOUL OF THE ENEMY! ANATOMICAL DISRUPTION! INFINITE PAIN!" My attacks barely do a thing and our foe starts summoning meteors to hit us all. And theres nowhere to run ot hide from them especially as our foe places a further barrier around us to limit the space with which we have to still move around. We are all crushed by the weight of at least one meteor. More of us die but most of us left are still able to survive. I shove the small meteor on me off of me with my arm strength and get back up. Future Trunks yells: "Of course he's playing dirty! We can win this still but even I dont know how we can pull it off!" Lauren replies: "His flesh is too thick and hard to cook! *summons a infernal with magic* EXTREME COOKING! *the infernal does nothing to Morroc* See?!" I speak: "Let me try something. Wind Release: Gale Pong! But thats not all. If Morroc is immune to fire.. MAYBE THERE IS ANOTHER ELEMENT THAT COULD WORK AGAINST HIM INSTEAD! LETS GO! TRUE SHADOW HURRICANE X3! *focuses on inner calm and takes a deep breath* There is something else I can do. I am one with the wind. Okay.."

I visualize the wind magic inside of me flowing into my sword and grip it with both of my hands. "One single attack will carry solely all the wind magic and force I can muster. This is not like any of my established sword techniques that manipulate the air around us in some way. This is different. Its a concentration of generated air force combined with all the wind magic I still have left! But much of my mana will still be intact after this. HAAAAAAAA!" My move does nothing. Takius tries to fry Morroc with her lightning magic. It doesnt change a thing. Pirate Blaster tried to use groundwater to flood Morroc but he didnt even move a millimeter. Holy and light magic failed too. As did earth and dark magic. Morroc has gained immunity to all main magical elements in this world. A elemental master just like Gunnr. We struggle for ages once again against our foe but nothing we do changes our situation in a good way. It just exhausts us that much more and leaves us even more vulnerable to the Demon Lord's attacks. Yappa Yappa, a Demon Lord himself even yells: "Not even my powers compare to his! I'll make his blood flow as he cries out in agony! Or die painfully! Either way, I wont let him get away with what he has done. My blood boils with vengeance!" Now that we have realized that vengeance unfortunately has a place in our cause, Yappa Yappa isnt holding back anymore with his words. Vengeance can be useful if it is controlled and directed towards those who truly deserve it: the twisted individuals who would heartlessly cull millions of innocent lives or more if given the chance to do so. Morroc and Gunnr are two said individuals.

And so are many of the scumbags who have power over the capitalist world order in our world. Vengeance may very well be the only emotion powerful enough to truly allow us to express our rage towards the powerful ones who will kill relentlessly to get what they want. I add to Yappa Yappa's words: "I can feel it too. That amount of rage that I cant fully describe. Its been in my heart for such a long time now. It has helped fuel my efforts to swiftly kill certain enemies whose lives I have had to take because there was no other choice. I feel this rage because whats going on is truly unjust and must be stopped. What the Harbringers Of Doom are doing here and what the capitalists are doing in my world is not normal. The culling of innocent lives for any reason is always a diabolical effort towards something even more disgusting. Yes, Katherine Glassgate and other people who are our enemies are still people. But that doesnt give them the right to take away the rights of others and since they cant be reasoned with, our only option is to kill them. Katherine has made it clear she wont stop what she and the others are doing. And Morroc.. Well, hes the same damn way but even more openly sadistic. Nothing we are doing individually is working. Not even when we combine our efforts. So if this is the end for us, lets go down swinging. Our enemies are far too twisted to reasonably surrender to. We will keep fighting. Surrender is not an option."

But suddenly, time stopped just as we charged in at Morroc to try to actually hurt him with our attacks and techniques. The darkness thag has covered the ocean and the sky is lifted as stars appear in the sky. A dimensional rift opens up in the sky as well, revealing more stars. Including some recognizable ones such as the North Star. And constellations start to shine brightly. Some of us yell some variant of: "Whats happening?!" Before we knew it, our souls were being pulled out of our bodies. And soon, we were being sent through the rift along with all of our other comrades, including those who have died today and have yet to be revived. What is this? A voice speaks: "You are all made out of star dust. The worlds you inhabit were formed by the leftover dust from supernova explosions many eras ago inside of nebulas as many scientists of your worlds have come to understand. You are all connected by a origin in the stars themselves. And your worlds only have life because of the stars also born of the stardust. Now, protectors of the multiverse and space-time, it is time for you to reach the next stage of your evolutions into warriors strong enough to someday defeat The Plot." Abstractoa appears and speaks as well with a smile on their face: "Everyone, the time has come. The path to someday finishing the Harbringers Of Doom to begin with has been lit up by the stars. For many civilizations among countless organisms, the stars have been a steadfast guide, curiosity, and inspiration to so many throughout an untold number of combined eras.

Embrace the power of the stars and they will allow to grow that much stronger. This day has been awaited for a long time. The time is now for all of you together to gain a new power from the very stars themselves." We are now moving far beyond light speed. Galaxies full of stars are just quickly passing by us now. A demonic looking creature attempts to chase us down. It speaks: "YOU WILL NOT GET THE POWER YOU DESIRE FOR I AM THE MOST POWERFUL MANIFESTATION OF HATRED!" Abstractoa effortlessly dispatches it: "Your journey to the Heart Of The Stars will not be impeded by any force or entity." After some time, we begin to involuntarily slow down as a truly massive star comes into view before all of us. The voice from before speaks: "You have finally arrived. And now, we can begin. But allow me to introduce myself. I am the very star you now see before you. I have no name nor do I need such a thing. I am the product of the lives of countless stars throughout the multiverse. And soon, I will summon the very stars that gave your planets life and they will guide you to the next step." Out of nowhere, our bodies begin to descend to go onto a magical looking platform in front of the talking star. Abstractoa and the other gods on our side appear on that platform the same time we land onto it. The star speaks again: "All of you are now here. Good. We can begin shortly. I am speaking to all of you in a manner you are able to understand. I do not often communicate like this but language is the most effective way for me to speak to all of you so that is what I have chosen to do."

Stars much further away from us begin to come closer and closer to us. Beerus exclaims: "Wait, why the hell does it not feel hot in this location at all?! YOURE A STAR, EVEN I WOULD BE TERRIFIED OF BEING THROWN INTO INSIDE OF YOU!" "No need to be upset, God Of Destruction. I will explain. I have placed a protective barrier around all of you. You are able to hear all sounds as if you were still on any planet with air as well. The barrier has made that possible too." The approaching stars get bigger and biggee until they suddenly become humanoid. One of them appears before me. They are wearing clothes that match the coloring of a yellow main sequence star. The voice speaks after all of the stars reach our location and transform: "They are here now. Go with them and call out to me if you need help and I will try to aid you. But trust in these stars that have given your planets life first." The star that has appeared before me greets me: "Swiftdrawer. Its a pleasure." "Are you the Sun?" "Correct. Follow me. Im the Sun from your universe or rather the projected consciousness of it now that I have gained sentience. The Calamity In Time made that possible and I had to send this part of myself away before the changes made to the multiverse destroyed this part of myself. That conflict was truly the only time our universe was affected by other universes outside of through the means of creative expression from the likes of you. Ever since I as in this part of myself had to flee, I have been watching you and your friends. You are the only one from our universe active in other universes now at this point so I had to make sure to watch you.

And I observed the battle with Gorganan and the Shadow through a rift created to our universe while all of time was nearly destroyed. That means I saw you there fighting. I made my escape through that lift when I sensed the multiverse being changed again. I gained sentience due to the time alterations done to our universe and the forces that entered it due to that. And now I am here. Please follow me. I'll speak more as we walk, *I nod and follow them.* For you and your comrades, whats about to happen will change your current circumstances drastically. Each of you will be given a star power but how it changes you will greatly vary. We are headed towards part of the Grand Temple Of The Stars, a part of the Nexus just as this location is. That temple is where you will get the star power." I reply: "But what if I dont want that star power? Also, why does it feel like the tease I got about all of this was misleading to some degree?" "Ah. For the latter question, the way it was designed was intentional. To better keep you in the unknown until the time was right. You didnt realize that today would be the day you would go through this until very recently, correct?" I nod: "Yeah. I knew it would happen this year but I thought it would happen later in the year, not today.." "I see. As for your other question, that is an option you can take. But tell me, I can sense your hesitation, why don't you want the star power?" "I want to grow stronger but not by being gifted some power. I want to earn the increased strength through my own merits. Thats why Ive been hesitant about undergoing what it took to become a dark knight for example.

I dont like things just being handed to me unless its only happening because its part of something much bigger thats happening due to a successful effort to change things for the better. I find the concept of being given power so cool but at the same time, it doesnt feel right for me to really take it unless Ive really earned it. In Skyrim, I play a Redguard character who is a part of the Dawnguard and Companions so far as well as the College Of Winterhold. When my character was given the chance to become a werewolf, I hesitated and chose to think about it for now. I also hesitated when my character was given the choice of becoming a Vampire Lord and was then sent away from the castle they were in when that happened before I could make a choice because I was so hesitant. If someone gets power, I think they should earn it first. I want to evolve to the next stage of knighthood for me. I know the star power would grant my wish but it wouldnt feel right. I seriously want to put in the effort to evolve. Is there a way to evolve without the star power?" "There is not. I will now be honest and transparent. That was the first test. You passed. The star power cannot be freely given by even I. It must be earned through tests that wont just judge the potential recipient of the star power. It will also strengthen them enough to accept the star power without it overwhelming them completely. But you wont master what the star power grants you immediately. Just like you had to learn to master the control over your own darkness becoming a dark knight granted you, you will have to learn to master what the power gives you as well. We are almost at the Temple now."

A few minutes later, I was inside a mirror maze for my second test. The Sun speaks: "The rules for this test are simple. You must escape to the end of this mirror maze. This isnt like the previous time you escaped a mirror maze on Earth. There, there was only one way in that was also the way out. Here, there are 2 ways. There is no time limit. Best of luck, Swiftdrawer. I recognize the name of Swiftdrawer to be your true name, find comfort in that and allow it to aid you in having the willpower to overcome this task." I nod: "I will try my best. At least I know what Im up against." They then vanish out of sight, probably to help the other stars administer their own tests to the thousands of others here with us. I was also told by the Sun that the flow of time outside of this place has no bearing on what happens here. We can stay here for as long as we need to and it wont cause any problems. I sigh: "Okay, because this is a mirror maze, that means, I will keep running into my own reflections. I will think one path I see is real and end up running into a mirror instead and see myself in it. Looking down wont entirely work either. There must be a way for me to get out of here. My eyes wont be good enough to get me out of here. Whats more annoying is that I could end up walking back straight through where I entered this place without even realizing it. There also could be traps like in a hedge maze. This is going to be so damn difficult." Instead of walking in any direction, I just think and try to come up with anything that can help me besides smashing the mirrors with my sword or something.

That would be the easiest way to do it except I already tried to break a mirror. When I did, nothing happened. "Theres no way Im allowed to fly in here with my Ki." My sense of smell is no better than the average person's despite all these years of training and fighting. Its not going to help me here. I am in one of the hallways of the Grand Temple Of The Stars. Apparently, theres many thousands of long hallways just like this one. And this hallway has been set up for my tests specifically but the architecture that I can still see above me was no help in helping me figure out where to go. Im pretty good at paper mazes but this is far more complex than a paper maze. I try yelling out something to guide me but the mirrors absorb the resulting soundwaves, preventing my yelling from echoing. I sigh as I try something else I dont like doing. I get into a crawling position and start trying to crawl through the mirror maze but it doesnt work out that well for me. I get too worried about getting lost to do it for long. "Damn it. I need a way to figure out where Ive been and where Im going.." I concentrate hard enough to somehow retrace my steps back to where I was before. I dont have enough knowledge of this maze to just make a map of it. But thinking of that finally gives me an idea. I pull out a bucket of black oil paint from my inventory and create a giant paintbrush using Artist's Eye and dip it into the bucket. But midway through, I realize: "No, this wont work either! If I paint a line following my movements through this maze, theyll just show up in the mirrors too! Wait a minute.. Can I paint the mirrors?

I dont think I can but I can still put something on all of the mirrors I encounter.. *throws paintbrush and bucket hard enough to where they are sent flying out of the maze.* There.. As a result of being born in the 21st century, I have ways I can think creatively that historical knights dont. *creates a booklet full of stickers after considering something else but rejecting it* What if I put stickers on each mirror I encounter? Eventually, I will learn my way around this maze if I see stickers on all the mirrors! And these stickers I have created are pretty damn big stickers!" Using the stickers over the next hours, I eventually manage to finally escape the mirror maze. Theres even a exit sign to tell me I made it out the correct way. I find a table with a note on it before me. It tells me that the Sun is busy helping the other stars but will be back for my final test before listing the rules of the next 3 tests and wishing me luck. The other stars have a lot of my comrades to get through so I really do understand this. The next test was a dungeon filled with a lot of tough star and solar themed monsters. I take all the stuff I can into my inventory just in case but I'll probably just unload the loot back at the base in Miitopia and let someone else look through it. It took me hours to reach the final boss which looked like a molten/star gas monster. It roars at me and goes right at me. Its so hot that water vapor around me is evaporating. If Im not careful, I will be completely dehydrated by this thing before my armor melts and my body goes down with it. I move my knight visor from on top of my helmet and onto the top half of my face.

"Bastard! SINCE YOU SEEK TO KILL ME EVEN THOUGH IM ALREADY DEAD, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO KILL YOU! HAAAAAAAAA!" And so, the fight begins in earnest. I will skip the details because it was a long and grueling battle that forced me to keep using the wind inside of me to cool myself down to fight off dehydration and the melting of my armor even though that risked the flames of the monster being expanded thanks to my wind. When the monster dies, a chest appears, I take the loot inside, and use the key I get from the chest to unlock the way out. The 4th test was a seeing how long I could withstand a solar flare test with a promise that if I survive even just 20 seconds, I will pass and no matter what would happen to me, my gear and self would be restored to normal. I sigh: "This is going to suck. The solar flare is coming from a vast distance away but still. Im not looking forward to this but I dont have any other choice, do I?" I walk forward and into the path of a solar flare. Solar flares are powerful enough to the point scientists have feared a particularly powerful one would destroy all electronic devices on Earth. This solar flare is a greatly weakened version coming from far away to be actually survivable because no known element on Earth could remain solid if directly hit by a solar flare. Nor any known element in Mii World. I barely managed to clear the test of surviving a greatly weakened solar flare for 20 seconds. I was toast as my armor began to melt. But I still held on long enough to make it out to the other side of this. When I couldnt take it anymore, the solar flare vanished and magic flower through me from somewhere to restore me enough to face the next test.

It was a simple test. Endure the blinding direct light of a star by having your eyes closed as the light of a star can still be powerful when your eyes are closed. Just kidding. Thats not what the actual real 5th test was about. The real test was coming more to terms with myself through touching a object to transport me into my own mind. Im not even really sure how I managed to clear the challenge, I have so much baggage going on with me after all. But I did it. And then, the Sun came back and spoke to me: "Well done. Now follow me one more time. Your final test is enduring the power of solar winds and attempting to control even just the slightest bit of them." "Solar winds.. It was hard enough facing a hurricane and all that other stuff I did last year. Though that occassion I faced all that willingly feels more like it happened about 2 years ago instead of last year.. So strange but no matter. How is this going to work? Im exhausted after all of these tests." "You will get a break for as long as you need one and then, you will face me and try to conquer the solar winds I summon. We are already almost to the perfect spot to do this. Feel free to rest somewhere nearby for as long as you need to." I nod: "Thank you. Ive been pushed to dealing with virtually impossible challenges throughout these tests. Im not even entirely sure how I got through some of them. Too much has happened for me to recall.." "You are almost done now. Rest and then, we will get this finished at last." I lay down on the ground close to the large arena set up for the last test. My armor is so comfortable that laying on the ground like this feels really nice to my exhausted body. I close my eyes for a while and kind of drift off to sleep for awhile.

When I wake up on my own, the Sun is still waiting for me. They smile at me when they see me struggle to stand back up. "It is time, Dark Knight Swiftdrawer." "Yes, it is.. Lets get this done. I want to go back to my comrades and face our enemies together with them." "Let us begin." We walk to the arena and stand on opposite sides of it before we began. All the Sun did was constantly unleash solar winds. The goal is not to defeat the Sun in battle. Even my nap didn't make me forget the goal here. To learn to control solar winds while also enduring them. I begin pushing back with my own winds but they are far too weak and Im far too off balance for them to do anything. I struggled to figure out a way to accomplish the goal and honestly, I dont even remember how I pulled it off. I just remember being constantly pushed around until I dug my boots into the very ground itself to stay grounded in order to allow myself to have a chance to learn how to control even just the slightest portion of the solar winds. And then the feeling of control and power I felt when I got ahold of some of those extremely extremely fast winds for myself. But in my grasp, the winds seriously slowed down as Im not nearly powerful enough to maintain their original speed on my own. But still, I did it, even as some of the wind escaped from me due to that slowing down that had to happen. The Sun sees my success and shouts in a truly booming voice: "You dont have to do this, you have passed the last test. But try to turn some more of these solar winds on me!" I try to and fail and they stop the winds. "You may have failed the extra challenge I added in but you have done extremely well. You have earned the star power. It is yours. And I will give it to you." They raise their humanoid hands.

This causes something to come out of the ceiling: "This is the source of all star power that can be granted to qualified adventurers such as you! It draws from the strength of dead stars, supernovas, the beliefs in the stars, and more. Now.. just watch." The Sun starts drawing a power out of inside of it. Its a small one and floats one to them only for them to direct it towards me. They say once it floats close enough for me to reach it: "Now, take hold of this power and place it into your chest. You will be sent back to Free Port the moment you do so, Im afraid. So before you do this, let us speak our farewells now. Worry not about the others, when you return, they will have also returned. It will feel like none of you ever left despite knowing none of what you have experienced in here was a dream." "..Just what will this star power do to me?" "*clears throat* I forgot. There are words of power I must now speak before I say anything else. Dark Knight Swiftdrawer, this star power grants you the next step to your knighthood based on what you have desired and needed, a job change from dark knight to solar wind knight. That is what you will now be known as." "I knew it.." "Yes you did. As for your question, the star power will grant you the abilities of a solar wind knight. The power to unleash and control solar winds but you have already unlocked such and will have to keep training to learn to fully control solar winds and that may take years if not decades to do so. And you will also find that your armor feels lighter than it has ever felt before.

Finally, your body will be in time augmented to be even faster and stronger and you will constantly generate a noticable wind force that you can control as you wish." "Thats what this power will grant me?" "It wont be easy to fully master but I know you will. But be warned, despite the tests, your body is going to struggle when you return to it with the star power. After all, the body you are inside of is just your soul in a solid and larger form than usual while still having access to your inventory. Your sword and armor have become so touched and binded by your soul that they are now a part of it. Safe travels to you on your way back." I put the star power into my chest and feel myself beginning to be sent back. "Sun, thank you for everything. If it wasnt for you.. I wouldnt exist.. My home world's energy all came from you originally. Will I ever see you again in the form youre currently in?" "Perhaps you will. Farewell, Swiftdrawer. Now go forth and help face your enemies, Solar Wind Knight!" "Goodbye, Sun. Cant wait to see your light in the sky on Earth again soon." A few seconds later, I wake up in my body, still charging at Morroc with the others. The constant wind surrounding me has permanently increased my movement speed, I can feel myself moving a little faster without even trying to. But the star power now inside of me is at conflict with my body. It is overwhelming. I cant really control it. If things dont calm down inside of me soon, its going to become a problem too big to ignore like Im trying to for now. The others are having the exact same problem but we have enough experience to weather it for now as our attacks finally damage Morroc.

The Demon Lord laughs: "You can finally hurt me. You foolish mortals have yet to realize how little that changes the situation you are in. Im going to kill each and every one of you and I just cant wait to see the looks on your pathetic faces! All of you are going to die here and there is no one around who can save you from this fate!" The feeling.. Its growing stronger.. Within minutes, because of it, many of us are easily beaten by Morroc, including me. Coughing up blood while attempting to assimilate the star power within myself, I get as far away from our foe as I can but thats not far at all. We are all constantly at Morroc's mercy as he continues to hurt us and kill some of us every so often. The star power hasn't changed a damn thing because hardly anyone has gotten control of it just yet. And until that changes, things are just going to keep remaining as dire as they are. In my case, the power gets so overwhelming that its all I can focus on. Nothing else registers to me anymore. It feels like my chest is about to explode along with everything inside of it. And my mind feels all screwy as I attempt to make sense of what Im even supposed to do to at least calm the power down. It took me forever to finally figure it out. I had to separate it out to go throughout my entire body or more specifically, to the strongest and most stable areas of my body such as my ribcage, spine, and ankles. The power still felt overwhelming to an extent after I did so by using my Ki, chakra, wind power, and mana to force it apart but now, that feeling was more so lingering.

It could now be ignored for the time being as my body learned to mix the power into it. At least the manifested wind power around me is easy to control and my armor DOES feel lighter than ever. Its almost like Im wearing no armor at all at this point. But then, I notice the current situation. My armor feels lighter because my body along with it have been so heavily damaged. Morroc is now constantly laughing as he crushes more and more of us like he did me. He doesnt even see me worth hurting anymore than he already has because most of my body is completely torn and broken now. The star power is attempting to leave my body so I force it into the most intact spots of my body. And in the distance, I can see the White Witch torturing my Rune Knight counterpart without mercy, even taking advantage of their dinosaur mount by torturing the poor dino as well. Whats worse is that I think shes drawing in energies from the Heart Of Ymir and its copies. My sensory abilities have somewhat sharpened as a side effect of my job change through the star power. I dont know how long its been since we returned from the Nexus. All I know is that things are too chaotic for anyone to help me or even notice what Im going through because what theyre going through is basically just as bad if not worse. But then, Katherine Glassgate appears and kills Morroc instantly. She laughs: "All traitors not fully loyal to my cause must die!" What the hell is going on now?!" My comrades freeze in place. And thats when those still standing notice the conditions of the likes of myself and run to our aid while still watching Katherine.

The former tyrant who has recently tried and failed many times to take over other worlds through the use of putting puppets of hers in charge to then seamlessly replace with herself sees whats going on with us and adds: "Its you pesky wokeists again. Seems like you were too weak to take care of Morroc on your own! Thats why everyone must be anti-woke! If you were anti-woke, you would have killed Morroc all by yourselves!" Not this again.. Several of my comrades help me fully recover with spells, poisons, and all that. I quietly thank them. Yufa yells at Katherine: "How dare you be so disrespectful to what has happened to us! You have no shame, do you?!" "Shut up, sinner! The problem with the likes of you is that you need Jesus in your lives because you dont have Jesus in your lives!" Okay, how much further down the Christian nationalist far right could Katherine Glassgate possibly go? I speak up now that Im recovered again: "If you are so loyal to Jesus Christ, why didnt he come to bail you out when your empire began to rapidly collapse?" "Jesus lives inside of all of us! There is no need for him to come when he and god make sure that our destinies unfold the way they intend them to be unfolded!" Ellen Ripley replies: "So what youre saying is Jesus Christ lives inside all of us like some sort of chest bursting monster?!" Stitch adds: "Stitch wonders if Jesus Christ is a xenomorph too! *laughs*" Our foe glares at us: "How dare you make up such a sinful theory about our lord amd savior! You wokeist freaks will soon be exterminated and I would kill all of you right now but I HAVE TO KILL THAT WHITE WITCH ALONG WITH ALL OF THOSE OTHER TRAITERS! EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE IS GOING TO DIE AT MY HANDS!"

She starts laughing and adds to her own statement: "AND SOON, I WILL BECOME A GOD AGAIN AND STAND RIGHT BESIDE JESUS CHRIST AND STEAL HIS POSITION AND INFLUENCE! AND ALL OF YOU ARE GOING TO DIE! JUST YOU WAIT!" Sensing her, the White Witch throws my counterpart to us and goes after Katherine while cackling: "KATHERINE GLASSGATE, IT AMUSES ME THAT YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP ME WITH THE HEART OF YMIR'S POWER ALL INSIDE OF ME!" Nagisa speaks: "Okay, which one of them do we kill first?" My counterpart hits the ground hard. Rombell was first to reach them and shouts: "To degrade a Rune Knight's body the way the White Witch did is.. I have no words to speak of it!" My counterpart has been messed up in so many disturbing ways. I speak as the rest of us go to them: "Just for this.. The White Witch must be our next target.. No one does this to any of our comrades and gets away with it without facing our fury! This must be answered for." While the White Witch is completely distracted by the hell Katherine is unleashing onto her, we attack her from behind with our feelings being transformed into motivation to act now and quickly. While most of us are pissed off, we are still in control of our emotions and at least for now, the star powers now inside of us. Gunnr suddenly absorbs the body of Demon Lord Morroc to get more powerful only for Katherine to still beat the crap out of her. The ex dictator shouts: "ALL ENEMIES AND TRAITORS WILL BE DESTROYED! I WONT LOCK THEM UP, I WILL JUST KILL ALL OF THEM ON SIGHT!"

Gunnr laughs: "You still believe this is enough to kill me?! You fool! IVE BEEN MAKING PLANS FAR LONGER THAN YOU HAVE!" They are exchanging comebacks constantly while dealing a crap ton of damage to each other with terrifying amounts of attack power going into each of their attacks. Its enough to make the world shake because there are other massive fights going on around the world as well. Communications and so forth are back on now apparently. Maybe the Dark Lord's deaths have something to do with this fact. The intensity only flares up as we continue attacking Gunnr from behind without mercy. Shes going to pay for everything that shes done with her own blood. She has gone far too far to be granted mercy other than a swift death if that cam even be arranged at this point in time. We will not stop for even a second here. The two enemies arent even paying attention to us so when they do hit us hard and badly, its not even intentional this time. The bloodlust is so great around here that one can almost smell it in the air. Our foes just keep on going at each otger but just when we thought things were going to go the way we thought they would with the death of the White Witch, someone entered the fight with a grin on his face. Baby Vegeta. The tuffle laughs: "GUESS WHOS BACK AND THIS TIME, FOR REAL?! I HAVE BEEN KILLED SO MANY TIMES IN JUST THE PAST TWO WEEKS BUT THAT ENDS TODAY. NOW THAT THIS BODY IS ALL MINE AGAIN.. KATHERINE GLASSGATE, ITS TIME FOR ME TO GET MY REVENGE!"

We switch to attacking Katherine to keep Gunnr from being likely to finally start attacking us again by being bothered by our attacks on her. But then, Katherine and Baby vanish and start fighting at a speed I cant even watch them fight at at all. Gunnr grins at us: "IT APPEARS I WILL JUST HAVE TO KILL ALL YOU FRIENDS OF THE LITTLE ADVENTURER FIRST!" But she is interrupted by a swarm of what look like androids speaking the same thing: "Invasively DMs you or reviews your stories on Wattpad, Fanfiction, or Archive On Our Own! Hi! I really like your story 'insert story name here, ChatGPT'! Im a commission artist and love your storytelling in your story! Do you have Discord? You can find me at these other sites! Do you wanna collab? Do you want some ideas I have? I can make your story come to life as a comic!" We and Gunnr set aside our differences for a few seconds to kill them all and the thousands more of them incoming to bother us. They were effortlessly wiped out because well, annoying "commission artist" bots and scammers on sites where users post fictional works they made for fun are just that pathetic. As in, those bots and scammers can go screw themselves and leave everyone the hell alone already. And they can just rot away along with ChatGPT and all of the other AI slop and AI slop kissers. Gunnr then attacks us mercilessly for a long while and it takes everything we have to resist. Varmudnt uses his connection with the Heart Of Ymir to disrupt Gunnr's wity the help of his centuries of research, knowledge, experience, and wisdom.

But then, Baby Vegeta and Katherine slow down and the Tuffle attacks a greatly weakened Katherine sadistically before all of us by going Super Great Ape Baby Vegeta. He laughs: "Katherine Glassgate, you pathetic human being, you never truly stood a chance against me! You just got lucky by using my coronation speech as the perfect distraction to kill me and take my place in the Nacirema Empire which has NOW FALLEN UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP!" Katherine coughs up blood while Gunnr yells at us: "OVER HERE, FRIENDS OF THE LITTLE MEDDLING ADVENTURER! IM STILL GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU!" Bakugou replies: "JUST SHUT THE HELL UP FOR ONCE, YOU HAG!" Gunnr tries to kill the hothead for saying that only for a Armored All Might to clap back and send her magical attack right back at her. And then, Baby finishes off Katherine by first force teleporting ALL OF US present to the Republic north of Rune-Midgard's capital of Juno. There he grabs her and throws her to the ground before crushing her to death with his sheer body weight. He laughs at us all and grabs Gunnr to kill her in the exact same way which he does only for the 2 villains to return with Smile demon like grins on their faces. But he kills them again and summons some things from somewhere just in time for them to be brought back to life again with them. Baby Vegeta spits in their faces for fun and exclaims while crushing those things: "NOW YOURE FINISH FOR GOOD, KATHERINE GLASSGATE AND I SUPPOSE YOU TOO, WHITE WITCH GUNNR! UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO JOIN ME AND BECOME TUFFLES!

TUFFLES WILL BECOME THE ONLY RACE IN THE MULTIVERSE AFTER ALL!" However, before they could respond, the rest of our comrades appear along with a bunch of feuding villains, some of whom we thought were finished for the next couple of years. Frieza laughs: "I WILL REIGN VICTORIOUS IN THIS BATTLE, JUST YOU WATCH ME! THIS IS A BATTLE ROYALE NOW, WE ALL WANT TO KILL ONE ANOTHER, DONT WE?! IF SO, PERFECT! HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAA!" Things just keep getting more complicated and the star power still lingers on a pressure inside of me. Even though splitting it up around my body worked, that only will delay the return of the whole feeling like my chest is about to literally explode. I just have to hope Im right in that my body will learn to work with it before the feeling can return. And thats what Im hoping for. Seconds after the others appeared, the entire floating city of Juno around us was reduced to rubble and began to fall from the sky. Varmundt shouts: "Not even I can stop this city from crashing into the ocean below us! But I will try to slow it down.. The reason the city floats is because of my research and efforts." A few of us surround him to guard him while he takes care of that. Baby shouts: "Allies, STOP!" Frieza yells back: "Why the hell are you ordering me around?! IM THE QUALIFIED RULER OF UNIVERSE 7! ALSO, DID YOU FORGET WE ALL WANT TO KILL EACH OTHER?!" Baby Vegeta laughs: "Not until I kill off the one who brought most of you together! Let me do this and I promise I wont hesitate to slaughter you all when Im done!"

The tyrant scoffs: "Fine. Do what you want. But only because you want to kill her so badly and I want to see how you pull that off for the sake of my own amusement." The surviving guards of Juno rush to our location with weapons drawn. One of them yells: "Stop right there!" Goku Black laughs: "You mortals are all so.. confident that you can stop us, youre all the same! We dont take orders from anyone, especially not the likes of you!" He kills them all effortlessly and adds: "Now Im one step closer to Project Zero Mortals's completion!" The president of the Republic who somehow also survived shows up with a bunch of sages from the Sages Union in tow. He accesses the situation and joins with us along with the sages. Meanwhile, a recharged due to being revived twice Katherine fights Baby but dies seconds later. Baby laughs as he also kills off Gunnr again and thus absorbs energy she took from the Heart Of Ymir to grow that much more powerful. "SHE IS NOW DEAD! ALL AGREEMENTS ANY OF YOU HAD WITH EACH OTHER OR HER ARE NOW COMPLETELY USELESS! LIKE THAT EVER STOPPED YOU FROM TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER, OF COURSE! HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAA!" And now, a chaotic battle royale begins. Frieza laughs: "REVENGE IS MINE AND SO IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL ALL OF YOU WEAKLINGS THAT YOUR CLAIMS TO THE MULTIVERSE ARE MEANINGLESS COMPARED TO MY OWN!"

The SDL replies something back but I dont hear it just before several of our foes, while fighting each other kill him in the crossfire of their attacks, some of which were aimed towards us. Those attacks draw all of us into the battle royale as several of our foes create clones to kill us with. Perfect Cell laughs at us: "NOW YOU WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE ARE TWO PERFECTIONS INSTEAD OF ONE! I WILL KILL EVERYONE STILL ALIVE IN THIS NOW FALLING CITY!" Thats right.. The city is still falling and despite the Great Sage's efforts, it is still literally accelerating to its destruction. Our enemies will survive the crash but not so much us.. We have to get onto the mainland as soon as possible. Surviving citizens are being evacuated swiftly as we speak and that's honestly for the best. Baby Vegeta laughs at us too: "It feels good to finally have a double of myself! All the more Tuffle to conquer reality with!" But then, other enemies kill those clones and so much happened after that in such a short time that I dont think there was anything happening besides confused fighting for a good while. It didnt even know who I was fighting anymore. The confusion only ended thanks to the sudden appearance of many monsters. Kidding again. The city being able to crash into the ocean made the fighting stop. A bleeding Diablo Nemesis yells: "We'll have to settle our differences elsewhere, PATHETIC WORMS!" He was right. Now that we can teleport again, we teleport to the area known as the border between Rune and the Republic to regroup.

None of our enemies had the same idea of where to go so we're safe for now. Except we arent. We are surrounded by a huge army of monsters. Garmadon breaks our tense silence: "Thats.. a lot of monsters.. Also, just.. look at us.. We're surrounded by monsters and we're so beaten up I think we accidentally hurt one another a whole bunch! What a disaster!" High Exorcist Bonnie replies: "I fear that you are correct. The fighting we were just in descended into confusion and chaos in ways we werent prepared to deal with.." Athena speaks: "I was able to see everything that happened. What you believe to have happened did indeed happen even though none of you intended to hurt each other." Beerus adds: "So you mortals better not waste time pointing fingers because we are also SURROUNDED BY MONSTERS in case any of you needed to hear that fact one more time." I sigh: "And we dont even have time to heal ourselves." Bray replies: "I shall help fix that. I cast Field Of Restoration! This wide AOE spell will heal many of us. Swift, you must get away from the spell before it comes into effect in a few seconds." I nod: "I will. *teleports to the opposite side of our group encircled by monsters* ..Just what are these monsters waiting for?" A ant queen aka Maya screams and goes towards Roan and Yufa's party. The ant seeks revenge for what they did to her and her ants at Ant Hell due to Zephyr's past manipulations of Takius..

The Maya's scream signals the other monsters to go forth and attack. When we start slaughtering monsters, I finally notice that my armor really does feel lighter than ever before despite no permanent changes to its mass since I became a solar wind knight. I am able to attack with a speed I couldnt until now without taking my armor off. Between that and all the leg training Ive been doing, I should be able to run up to 300 kmph with my armor on now. At first, killing the monsters was easy as we were all able to swiftly recover from our wounds from before. But then, the monsters started fighting harder and harder which again, wasnt so bad at first. But it began to take its toll. When one monster fell, the ones behind them got more bloodthirsty and so on. After several minutes, we were facing completely ruthless and bloodthirsty monsters unwilling to hold anything back in order to slaughter us all as quickly as possible. I was reunited with the members of the party I was in earlier again right as things got worse and worse. My counterpart is now doing okay besides the fact that they're psychologically haunted by what Gunnr did to them. Their will to survive and need to help others are the only things keeping them fightinh and together on the inside at the moment. I can tell. Sailor Moon yells: "They just keep coming! When will this ever end?!" Pinkie replies: "I dont know so Im just going to keep blasting these monsters with my confetti cannons and stuff! But why do they have to be such party poopers?!"

Trunks speaks: "Stay focused! We cant let our guards down for even just a moment here. *blood curdling screams of some of our comrades are heard.* We are losing more and more of our comrades by the minute!" I nod: "If we dont turn this around, we might actually end up losing to what looks like every single surviving monster from within the borders of Rune and the Republic combined, excluding most of the neutral monsters who will leave you alone if you dont attack first. Have to stay focused here. If we grieve those who have died again, we may very well be next. And because theres so many powerful boss monsters, our electronics wont work again! I tried to teleport again just now but it didnt work!" We are stuck in this perilous experience with no way out or anyway to contact outside help. Everyone who can help is already here, including those who could have contacted outside help but can't anymore due to the sheer malevolence surrounding us now. The monsters only get harder to kill. For me, the first monster I kill was an instant kill but now, its taking 20 seconds to kill monsters with around the same hp that first one had. But just as we hit the tipping point before the monsters really start to slaughter us all, in came the villains, still fighting with each other. Or so, it seemed. Frieza and Perfect Cell drop a massive clear bag filled with killed villains. The SDL, Pmurt Nedib, Lex Luthor, Katherine, Gunnr, Doji, some Espada, Hypnos, Thanatos, Damian(Hades Inc), Pluto, the SAO villains up to Subtilizer, and a few others. Baby laughs at us as the monsters stop attacking, out of fear of the power of our foes.

The Tuffle speaks: "Well well well, if it isnt those who defeated me and many others including all these monsters. *laughs again* Now that Katherine Glassgate and her weak little group are gone and out of the way, Im the one in charge. Soon, the Nacirema Empire will be reborn but under a new name and identity. This is the beginning of the Tuffle Imperium and my subordinates and I form the Tuffle Revenge Association! We are the ones in power now. Our group is contesting elections in a certain reformed planet that was once host to the capital of Nacirema. This begins a new era in which Tuffles will finally reign supreme and I will get my ultimate revenge on all who have wrong me as well as Planet Plant which I will revive once again but this time, on a permanent basis! But first, it is time for all of you to die once I introduce you to all of my new subordinates! You know, its hard for a Tuffle to find help but lets just say they agreed to work under me in the name of our mutual hatred for almost everything that lives and breathes and I may have done something to help 'persuade' them!" He calls them by name with a twisted grin on his face. The scumbag of that monster cultist group Eric who has escaped from prison after he was sent there by Rune's knights, the leader of the Dandelion Corps, Mechikabura, Babidi, Frieza, Goku Black, Matt, Diablo Nemesis, Perfect Cell, Ziggurat, Aizen, and a number of others. Frieza laughs: "You dont stand a chance against the full might of the new Tuffles! I must admit. Becoming a Tuffle felt really good. And I hereby declare that the Frieza Force will join with the Tuffle Imperium! You will all die!"

Mechikabura laughs: "Revenge is so sweet as some of you mortals say. Im going to make the Time Patrol regret what they did to me and take back the Dark Factor from that annoyance known as Fu!" Aizen smiles: "I am looking forward to using all of you as test subjects for my experiments." Baby laughs, having permanently fused with alternate Vegeta's body at this point: "Now my fellow Tuffles, we will now exterminated these wretches unless they wish to join us. And when all non-Tuffles on this planet are dead, this planet will become the first Tuffle colony and we will gather the Dragon Balls to finally revived Planet Plant without it getting destroyed not long after that is done!" The monsters resume attacking, angered by their words. Now, this fight has become a 3 way battle between 3 very different sides. Myself and the other members of the small party Im in begin to focus a little more on each other. The big picture is too hard to focus on when in the heat of battle like we are now once again. But a few others join our party soon after the fight resumed: Herbsalvin, Bray, Eggman, and Akiza. Eggman laughs: "Its time for us to show them what a little teamwork can do! And I have some duplicates of my past robots ready to be used at any time except they have been greatly strengthened compared to their original versions! Lets do this and show our enemies why you dont mess with the Eggman Commune or the BRAINS Collective!" Rombell speaks: "We must do what we can to ensure our victory." My lover adds: "Onwards! To battle! Huzzah!"

I immediately unleash everything I can use to safely power up at once. I try to do that before getting into any kind of combat now. Its for the best. Sneak hiding our tactics tricks wont do us any good in this conflict anymore. For ages, we defend against Baby's new group while slaughtering monsters. Thats the best strategy for us because we get to use monster corpses as one time use shields to help protect ourselves. Pinkie and Stitch serve as two very annoying distractions, one constantly unleashing party cannons and party tricks, the other being a blue ball of mischief. Bray uses magic to defend us further and launch far range attacks. Akiza rides Black Rose Dragon to demolish enemies while using her psychic powers to do various things to our foes like pushing them down or redirecting their attacks. Myself, Rombell, my counterpart, and Herbsalvin help protect the others further with our armors and shields while also slicing through the monsters, casting spells, and all that stuff. Lauren sets about turning every monster she can into food. Sailor Moon blasts our foes with her own powers. Future Trunks attacks from above with Ki and sword attacks. Eggman fires devices at our foes and commands some of his robots to cause some chaos for them. All while almost constantly laughing at our foes. We keep fighting and fighting, refusing to give in no matter what happens. We take a lot of damage but could bear it for a while, even though none of us had yet to master the star power we were all given earlier and thus were so far not benefiting very much from them.

We must have fought for hours. Actually, no, it wasnt nearly that long. But when the villains got tired of fighting at last, they unleashed everything they could on us and the monsters. However, we werent nearly done yet. In fact, its only been about 15 minutes since the 3 way battle really began. Baby yells as we fight back much harder and the monsters suddenly power up with what seems to be the energy from the Heart Of Ymir that Baby was unable to take earlier: "Whats going on?! I just want to be rid of you all already! None of you are even remotely worthy of becoming Tuffles with how hard you have been resisting the likes of me all this time! Why cant any of you just guve up and die already or join our side?! You are going to regret making me this angry! Especially if you so happen to be those monkeys who destroyed Planet Plant to begin with! You came to our world and conquered it and laid the original Tuffles to waste. As the leader of the new Tuffle Imperium, built from what little remains of Nacirema because you managed to leave almost nothing left, I WILL HAVE YOUR BODIES TO DO WITH AS I WISH AFTER YOU ALL DIE LONG AND PAINFUL DEATHS BEFORE ME AND MY SUBORDINATES!" One of the monsters speaks in a understandable but electronic voice. Its the Clock Keeper: "You are underestimating the power of us monsters. It is now time for you all to perish. I want to thank those of you who were foolish enough to lose all the artifacts of this world one way or another for bringing them out to begin with. All those precious artifacts are ours and with them, we are nearly unstoppable!"

Baby widens his eyes: "So thats WHY WE COULDNT FIND A SINGLE ARTIFACT FOR OURSELVES! YOU TOOK THEM ALL AND WILL DIE FOR SUCH TREACHERY AGAINST ME! PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE FUN IS ONLY JUST BEGINNING! I WANTED TO KILL YOU ALL ALREADY MOMENTS AGO BUT NOW, I THINK IM GOING TO ENJOY THIS APPROACH SO MUCH MORE! But first, let me tell you all a little story because its SO AMUSING TO SHARE about that pathetic Katherine Glassgate who means nothing to me now that Ive gotten my revenge on her!" To be continued..
