Iron Man's visor was glitching out when he tried scanning the creature, "Damn. Doom wasn't kidding when that said that this thing messes with tech. Grey! Esdeath! Do either of you have a visual on Luke and the others?"

"I'll have you know Tony, that I don't have any actual immunity to the cold! I'm just really resistant to it!" Grey said over the comms.

"Then how about you just eat the snowstorm or something? Seriously! It shouldn't be this hard!" Iron Man said as the monster was even making his scan for the Force Users difficult.

"I'd rather he eat something else, if you know what I mean." Esdeath teased over the comms.

"Y'know, I really hate that I do know what she means." Shazam muttered, "Seriously. A lot of not safe for work stuff from her back on the other planet."

"Hey Tony! I found them! But my ride's downed. I need some help over here!" Cloud said.

"You heard him team! Find Cloud! I'll keep this monster distracted!"

"You might want to hurry. Luke and Vader's prosthetics are frozen stuck, and Obi-Wan's bleeding out!"


"Hey, come on Darth. Get up." Cloud hoisted him over his shoulder, "We kinda need you right now."

"There is something wrong here. Tell me… What sort of monster do you see?"

"There's no time for that. Ugh, of all the times I decide to leave healing materia behind on the ship…"

"I said tell me what you see!" Vader snarled, damaging his prosthetic after grabbing Cloud's collar.

"Uh…" Cloud looked behind the cover he and the others were hiding behind, "Some big thing that looks like…Wait, did Sephiroth crash with you?"

"I should have known…" Vader grumbled, "That creature isn't actually there. I see that infernal Palpatine, only much larger. And carrying my blasted armor!"

"So this thing is actually preying on what we hate the most?" Cloud asked, "Tony! Switch your vision!"

"Uh…To what exactly? This thing is messing with my sensors. What would changing how I see this thing do-"

"To anything! Just not primary vision! Go to infra-red, night-vision, or x-ray- It doesn't matter! Just change it!"

"Alright. Don't see what doing that to a hulked-out Oppenheimer would do, but- Wait. Where'd it go?"

"Vader had a theory. Whatever that thing is, it's not actually there. It's just whatever we hate the most."

"That explains why I saw Richards." Doom realized over the comms, "But that does not explain how it is able to disable magic or mess with our sensors."

"Maybe if we just calm down, it'll go away?" Gray asked.

"Worth a shot." Cloud said as he used Vader's lightsaber to cauterize Obi-Wan's wound as he closed his eyes and started to breathe more easily.

"It's gone." Cloud said, "And… Is it just me, or did the snowstorm let up a bit?"

"It appears so…" Obi-Wan said, "Let me calm myself…"

The snowstorm started to let up more, as everyone kept getting progressively calmer.

"Father. Let go of your hate. It will not only save yourself, but it will save us too." Luke said as he entered a meditative stance.

"I don't care much about saving myself…But everyone else… I am willing to do that for them." Vader said as he did a motion with his hand and collapsed.

"WHAT DID HE-"

"The snowstorm's gone." Cloud said as the area became clear in an instant, "Quick! Get him to med-bay!"


"Anakin, that was the dumbest thing you could ever do." Obi-Wan chastised.

"Shut up, Obi-Wan. I am in no mood for this." Vader snarled.

"Father please. It took us a lot to bring you back on life support. You will be bedridden for a while. Get some rest."

"And maybe think about why you decided to use The Force to stop your heart. Was it really that hard to simply calm down?"

"YES."

Obi-Wan pinched the bridge of his nose, "Tony, can we please find Guts soon? I feel that we need to get Anakin to a therapist."

"You know he's not qualified, right?"

"He was the closest we had."

"Well either way, we have you guys and Doom- Hey!" Tony looked around, "Where is Doom?"


"Here's the Kyber Crystal." Luke snarled.

"Don't act like that, Skywalker. When I came across you and the others, I made an offer. You accepted."

"Just hurry up. Will this get us back home or not?" Luke asked.

"In theory. I must commend you in wording your request in a way that would make sure that everyone would be returned. Regardless, my asteroid will be orbiting your father's old space station until further notice. And I will not accept any uninvited interruptions."

"I'll be sure to tell the others about your new living quarters. Just make sure that you keep your word."

"I find it insulting that you believe that I wouldn't, young Skywalker." Doom scoffed, "But I am sure that Bowser will be rather excited to see some of his minions here. It's not as if his other minions will be appearing anytime soon."

"Not unless it was an army fight." Luke rolled his eyes.

"Don't drag me into those inane debates." Doom deadpanned.


Pinkie: I don't know why, but when we get back, I kinda want to binge some Epic Rap Battles.

Alexis: Tweet chirp tweet?

Pinkie: Uhh…Jim Henson vs Stan Lee. I like how they both come to an understanding at the end.

Alexis: Chirp.

Pinkie: Well, yeah. I'm not a fan of that part. That part's a bummer.
