A/N: Part 2 is here everyone! Enjoy!
Goodguygary: Been there for a good bit and….. I don't see it lol. But hey, maybe that's just me.
Sakurathemidnight(AO3): I'm actually in a couple of Discord servers with papyboi so I figure that you're not spam(Though it's pretty sad that it's gotten to the point where people have to literally say they're not spam because of how similar the messages are. / ). But anyways, while I appreciate the offer, I'm gonna have to decline. Considering how my schedule is for writing this season and other things, collabs just wouldn't work for me.
Subwayyguy: No problem bro. Might not seem like a big deal to other people, but giving credit where credit is due is something I'm really big on.
"Welcome back! We're just about done with our lunch break so we'll be getting back to it shortly!" Chris said to the audience.
After Chris made this announcement, the focus was back on the competitors, both current and eliminated.
"You know, just this little bit of free time makes me think about the missed opportunities this challenge had." Supreme Kai of Time said, after drinking tea that Reimu had made.
"What kind of missed opportunities?" Becky F. asked.
"Well, I was originally going to let you guys explore the city for a bit. And even have some of the Time Patrollers meet you all. Mainly the new recruits still in training. Heck, even Lord Beerus, Goku and some of the others have been here in this city too. Not just for times of crisis, but just for fun. But, with what's happening now, there's definitely no time for that. And like I said before, most of the Time Patrollers, as long as they're experienced enough, are on duty right now. Even those that are considered rookies have been forced out to handle a lot more than patrollers with that little experience usually would. The only ones that aren't out there are the ones still in the early training stages of their recruitment. It's bad enough we have to ask rookies to have a lot more on their plate as they should. I refuse to let completely new members out there in the wild like that. It's just too dangerous. I'd feel awful if I allowed that and they were to get seriously hurt or worse."
"Huh. That actually would have been nice."
"Of course it would have been nice! There's gyms, shops, everything you could ask for to make your time here more enjoyable. All in all, it's a huge improvement over TokiToki City if I do say so myself. I should know. I helped build it!"
"Wait, you built this city? I thought you just had time powers." Scott said.
"I may be the Lord of Time, but I've got more than just time-related stuff under my belt. Exhibit A. My incredible pudding! I wish I could let you guys have a taste but, sadly, there's no time for that either. Seems like every time I try to make some, something always happens. I was going to give Lord Beerus some as a peace offering. Until Mira and Bardock showed up and interfered."
"So, how exactly do you even get recruited for something important like this?" Hailey asked. "I'm sure it's a pretty strenuous process, but I'm still curious nonetheless."
"Well, Trunks and I actually put out an ad to join. I was able to make it so where it can be seen throughout several different time periods. Coming here to join is one thing, but actually getting in and doing patrols is another. Something like that, for as many patrollers as we have so far after Conton City was created, isn't just for anyone to do. Heck, even flying around the city is a privilege that needs to be earned first with a license. And those are only given to Patrollers that get promoted to the Elite class. Anyone caught flying around without a license will be punished accordingly. And even then, flying in the Time Nest is strictly prohibited by anyone. But don't worry, even if you don't make the cut for fighting that doesn't mean you still can't join. There's several other job opportunities here too. If you want to learn more, just check out our ad! In fact, I think I'll have it show up here too. Should be easy for me to convince the network to air it." She then drinks the rest of the tea.
"This tea is amazing! I will literally pay you if you tell me how you get it to taste like this." She said to Reimu.
"I didn't think you'd need to carry money." Reimu said, slightly surprised at her sudden request.
"Well, I don't but, it's the only justifiable compensation I could think of for making a request like this one."
"Pay me first and I'll tell you."
"Deal!" She extends her hand for Reimu to shake it. "I, the Supreme Kai of Time, give you my word."
"Wow. She really means business if she's doing that much." Becky F. commented.
*Confessional*
Supreme Kai of Time:
"You know, I've actually heard a bit about what Reimu's has had to go through with her shrine. I actually feel bad for her. If it wasn't for the fact that it would interfere with her job as a maiden, I would actually offer her a job for the Time Patrol to make sure she gets taken care of. But, I guess doubling my original price for learning how she does her tea works too."
*End Confessional*
Diana was seen by a lake feeding Tokitoki seeds, who was the divine bird with a noticeably long and thick beard that exceeds his body.
The second it finished and flew off, she suddenly heard someone quickly shifting in the grass. When she turned, she saw Kageyama suddenly standing still, eyes closed as if he was a statue.
"If you're trying to make sure I don't see you, you're doing an incredibly poor job at it." Diana said to him, to which he said nothing. He was also noticeably wearing a completely different attire. Which was a baseball cap backwards, a yellow shirt, blue jeans and was wearing shades and a hat over the cap that looked like the top of Piccolo's head. "You saying nothing doesn't invalidate what I'm saying. I know that's you."
Still no response. "Kageyama!"
"Huh? What!? There's no Kageyama here! Only…" Kageyama quickly looked down at his shirt before getting an idea. "Postboy! Post….. Boy!"
"If you're going to act like that, at least make sure it's not around the Tokitoki so you don't scare him off."
"I'm not scaring him! You're the one that made him fly away!" He replied, emphatically pointing at her before both the Piccolo cap and shades fell off, to his shock before he quickly grabbed him and put them back on.
"He flew off on his own. I didn't make him do anything. And….." She sighs before saying, "Never mind."
"What?"
"Nothing."
"WHAT DAMN IT!?"
Kageyama's sudden yelling caused others that were in the Time Nest to look at him along with also catching Tokitoki off guard.
"Now who's scaring him?"
"Look, I-I didn't mean to do it! It was your fault! You could have answered my question! Tch, I'm outta here!"
Him suddenly deciding to leave surprised her a bit, but she decided to leave him be for now.
10 Minutes Later
"Well, I guess it's time to get back to it." Jenny said, at a long table where several people were seen eating the food that Trunks ordered.
"Yeah….." Isagi said.
"What's wrong? Not enough food for you?" May asked jokingly.
"It's not the food. I'm full actually. It's just that, all of this….. what we're doing. When you really think about it, every time we go into these different parts of history, there is a legitimate chance we could die. I get it, 'This is basically every challenge. What's new?' But still, it's honestly a little unsettling."
"I get it. Compared to the challenges, this is a completely different situation. I think that danger is a lot more prevalent here because of what we've already seen. I was absolutely terrified when we jumped on those springs over the fire. And I probably will continue to be until we're done. But, I think I've come to accept it and will still keep going in. Not just because I want to win, but because of the fact that this is no longer me I'm thinking about anymore. Just take out the competition aspect for a bit. With how this is, it's not just me that could be gone, it could be anyone. At least I have the power to do something about it. Anyone else that gets affected by this and is just as, if not more scared than me can't say the same thing. I can at least do this for them, if not anyone else." Courtney said.
"Couldn't have said it better. When you step in the ring, there's always the chance the next step you take could be in the grave. But this, this is a whole different animal. An animal I'm gonna battle against and dominate!" Sendo said.
"Well, at least one person here is confident." May said.
"Don't take me being confident as being cocky. Those are two completely different things. I just know what I signed up for. And I got the belief we'll win and see it through. That goes for this. And the season. As stupid as I may think some of these challenges are."
"Hey, think you can lend me some of that confidence? I sure could use it right about now." Isagi said.
"You? I think I need it more than you do." Sena said.
"You got through two just like us, didn't you? You don't need it at all. If anything, you need less time in your head." Sendo said.
"Alright! I won!" Trunks exclaimed at a table. "Okay, now that this game's over, we can get back to work."
"Over? What happened to us playing another game?" Chronoa asked.
"I don't remember you saying anything about that."
"She didn't. She's just saying that because she lost." Chef said.
"I actually did say that thank you very much. Are you really going to believe his word over mine?" Chronoa said.
"Yeah, I don't remember you saying that." Tangle said.
"Whatever. Just know that once this over, I'm owed another game."
"What happened to not getting mad when you lose?" Becky B. said to her.
"I'm not mad!"
"Yeah, she's mad." Dewey whispered to Louie, who silently nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's get back to fixing history. We'll put this on hold for later."
*Confessional*
Supreme Kai of Time:
"I said I wouldn't get mad when I lose. Does that look like getting mad to you? My criteria of getting mad is flipping out and doing things like literally flipping a table. Not getting a little upset because I lost. I'll have you know that I don't like to lose. I'd be able to play as many board games as I want if someone kept their hands to themselves!" She cleared her throat and tried to calm herself down.
"Anyways, I'm real confident that they can get this done. If they can do it twice, they can do it as many times as it takes to get this done. And also, I haven't told them this yet, but I've thought about giving the winning team a feast as a surprise reward. Or maybe I should go with a dessert. Hmm…."
*End Confessional*
Time Vault
"Huh. Well that's interesting." Chronoa said, as she looked at a couple of scrolls that weren't altered/corrupted.
"What is it?" Trunks asked.
"I think I figured out why you weren't beginning to fade away unlike last time with Cell and Androids 17 and 18."
"Why?"
"Because, this is a completely different version of you. An alternate universe if you will. Most of the events are the same but there's one big difference. While I was looking through the key events and comparing them to the ones of your universe, I couldn't find anything about Goku Black at all. Or Zamasu."
"So in other words, they don't exist here."
"I don't know about that. But I do know that it looks as if the threat of them hasn't come to pass yet. And maybe they may not ever will. But, Majin Buu does it seems. All of history after that point is still being made though."
"Majin Buu huh? I guess it makes sense. With no Black to cause destruction, the danger of Buu would still exist."
"Yeah. But, if the Z Fighters are dead in the future, I wonder how exactly that Trunks was able to deal with him?"
"You didn't look to see?"
"No. I didn't really feel the need to to be honest. I mean, if there's nothing that needs to be fixed, I don't have much of a reason to be worried."
"I guess that makes sense."
Everyone returned to the time vault about ten minutes later to start.
"Alright everyone, you guys already have an idea of what you're going to be doing so there's not much else that needs to be said by us. Good luck and may the best team win!" Chronoa said to the teams.
"Kageyama what the heck are you wearing?" Hinata asked, trying not to laugh.
"Huh?" He realized he still had his "disguise" on. "Nothing you need to be concerned about. Let's just focus on the next scroll."
"I thought your name was Post Boy." Diana said, in a subliminally mocking tone.
"Post Boy? What is she talking about?" Natsu asked, confused.
"Wonder what his nickname for her is." Sucy remarked.
"Wait a second. Is your nickname just what it says on his shirt? That's kinda lame, not gonna lie." Todd said.
"Hey, look on the bright side, you'll be a great distraction for us." Tsukishima said.
"A distraction? How come?" Kaz asked, confused.
"Because of how ridiculous he looks. I'm sure one of the villains we face will probably ask him about it."
"Can we please move on the scrolls!?" Kageyama blurted out, having had enough.
"Can you please take that ridiculous outfit off first?" Noelle said to him. "Where did you even get something like that from?"
"None of your business! And fine, I'll take the stuff off." He said before beginning to take the clothes off before grumbling, "Since it's bothering you that much."
"Take it off somewhere else, not here you idiot!" She said, covering her eyes.
"For what?"
"Because you're going to be naked, that's what!"
"Actually, he had a t-shirt and shorts on under those clothes." Hinata said to him.
"Huh?" She uncovers her face to look at Kageyama. And he was right. "Oh."
"Alright, if you're done with…. Whatever it is you're doing, let's get back to work!" Trunks said.
*Confessional*
Kageyama(Wave Breakers):
"If you're wondering where I got those clothes from, there's a shop down at the city I found. The clothes I got looked like they'd be a perfect disguise so I picked those." He then pointed at the screen. "Don't ask why I needed to wear them!"
*End Confessional*
Ruby G., Jenny, Launch and Nimona took a look at the scroll they grabbed. They saw Sly in an airplane flying over what seemed to have been an aircraft that looked as if it was a fusion between a whale and a dragonfly.
Kaine Island, South Pacific, 2005
"Ha-ha! You and your foolish friends keep trying to beat me with your guns! They're like toys to my creatures. If this Whale-Fly had vocal cords he'd laugh in your silly little faces!" Dr. M taunted before laughing.
"This isn't working Bentley. He's literally laughing at us." Sly said to Bentley.
"Just give me time. I-I'll think of something!" Bentley replied.
"I'm settling this now. Face to face."
"Paragliding over to that creature? You're out of your mind!"
And Sly did just that. Using his paraglider, he was able to make his way to the aircraft to land and confront Dr. M, who was also at the top to meet him.
"Headstrong, just like your father." Dr. M. said.
"You don't know anything about me or my father!"
"Really? Who let you in on the secret of this place, eh? Was it my old pal McSweeny perhaps?"
"McSweeny works for you? This was all a setup to get the cane!"
"No m'boy. Once upon a time he and I worked together….. for your dear old dad."
"My father wouldn't have run with a guy who'd try to steal from the Cooper Vault… let alone attempt to kill his son."
"Time does strange things to people…. Just look at the real leader of your gang- Bentley!"
"Whatever! We're friends, equals!"
"Then why is it called the "Cooper Gang," you self-centered ego-maniac! But don't worry, you'll get to have it all to yourself soon enough, just like you and your father wanted!"
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Sly! Our ship just went down! It was a missile attack!" Bentley said to him. He and everyone else was now in the water.
"Missiles? But I thought you disabled those?"
"Not those missiles you simple-minded fool! Maybe if you would have still had your plane and not been so impulsive you'd be able to see it!" Dr. M. said.
"Then if it isn't those, what is it then?"

"You'll find out soon enough!" Dr. M. said before his eyes began to glow red and he suddenly pushed Sly off the aircraft. Thankfully for him, he was able to land safely via his paraglider.
He saw missiles in the distance coming at Bentley, Murray and the others along with a rain of bullets briefly after, to Sly's horror. Their killer started to materialize itself in the distance. And it was larger than anything Sly expected.
"Do you see it!? That is the symbol of the end of the Cooper Gang! My secret ultimate weapon! True leaders plan one step ahead! And then a step after that! Unfortunate that Bentley had to suffer for your egotistical foolishness! But, I suppose it'll be worth it to wipe out your legacy! Permanently!"
A rain of missiles were seen coming towards Sly. He tried his hardest to get away from them, but it was a futile effort as they overwhelmed him.
They closed the scroll.
"Second time huh? You can't seem to catch a break, can you?" Nimona said to Sly, who was beginning to fade away from existence again.
"I'd only say that if it happened a third time. I seriously hope it doesn't though. Now uh, can you guys please fix this?" Sly replied.
"We're on it. You'll be back like it never happened!" Ruby G. declared. "Which is, kinda true when you really think about it."
"Hey, so uh, do you actually remember all the crazy stuff that happened or does it just go away like instantly?" Nimona asked Supreme Kai of Time.
"Uh, not to be rude or anything but what part of, 'I'm about to be erased from existence' didn't you guys get?" Sly said as his body was becoming harder and harder to see.
"Oh. Right."
"Let's turn that secret weapon of his into scrap!" Nimona exclaimed before they began to be transported to that period of time.
Cicini, Axl, Tangle and Bennett all took a look at the next scroll. This scroll contained an event where Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo where battling against Triceraton forces as they invaded Earth, in search of the Fugitoid. And they seemed to have been able to handle themselves. Until a large mecha appeared. Despite their best efforts to fight it, combine it with the additional Triceraton forces, they were overmatched and defeated.
In Huey, Akashi. Dewey, Louie, Isagi and Bachira's scroll, Kurt was kicked to a wall and knocked unconscious by two cyborgs before he was hung up. A machine with multiple arms and moving parts was closing in on him before the last thing that was heard was yelling seconds later.
"Uh, is it possible for us to get another one?" Dewey asked.
"Why? Is something wrong with the one you have? Besides the obvious of course." Trunks asked.
"Stop being a scaredy cat. We've gotta fix all of these anyway. Let's just go ahead and get this one done and over with. The last two were pretty easy. At least compared to some of the ones I've heard the others had to do. Besides, it's not like we're gonna be going in empty-handed, remember?" Louie said.
"I understand the scene makes you a bit uneasy. If it helps, we are all in this together. We won't leave you behind." Akashi said.
"We've all got your back. It's six of us, plus probably Kurt. We can do this." Isagi said.
"Seven against two and they got the two. Who's the one in trouble again?" Huey said to Dewey, in an extra effort to instill confidence in him.
"You know what? You've got a point. Let's do this!" Dewey said, grabbing on to the scroll tightly before the others did as well to head to that point of history.
Kaine Island, South Pacific, 2005(Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves)
Sly, on an airplane, was shooting at an aircraft that looked to have been a combination of a whale and a dragonfly, with the mandrill scientist, Dr. M., plugged into it and controlling it.
Jenny, Ruby G. and Nimona had appeared beside him as a flash of light and gears was seen.
"Hey Bentley, you never told me about a robot and some others showing up." Sly said to him.
"The what and what now?" Bentley asked, confused before Dr. M. was heard laughing.
"You and your foolish friends keep trying to beat me with your guns! They're like toys to my creatures. If this Whale-Fly had vocal cords he'd laugh in your silly little faces!" Dr. M. taunted before laughing again.
"Don't jump off! That Dr. M. guy has some secret weapon that's gonna attack your friends!" Nimona said to him.
"Secret weapon? I don't believe you. If that really was the case, how do you know about it and Bentley doesn't? That, and it's kinda hard to believe someone that just came out of nowhere." Sly said. "And third, how did you know I planned on jumping off?"
"If you really want proof, we'll show you." Jenny said before she sped off to where Bentley and the others were on the pirate ship before going past them to look out in the water to check for Dr. M.'s secret weapon. But it was nowhere to be found.
"What? But, the scroll said it was here! Where is it?" She changed her vision to infrared. Still nothing. "I don't get it. It was supposed to be here!"
"You don't see it?" Trunks asked.
"No! It's gone!"
"You can't find it anywhere? That's strange. But just keep looking. I highly doubt it would have just disappeared."
"Some proof you got there." Sly said to the rest of the group as Jenny hadn't returned yet.
"I got it!" Jenny exclaimed, using her weapons and shooting it around the area to try to draw it out. Some of the hits caused something to be slightly seen. Still very hard to see, but just enough for her to know that something was there. It looked to have been some sort of large boat or warship. "That's why I couldn't find it. It's cloaked! And it's… a boat?"
"So he was using a cloaking device to hide it. Destroy it before it gets a chance to attack!" Trunks said.
"I see you've brought some extra allies with you! No matter, it won't change the outcome!" Dr. M. said.
"I guess that's one thing we can agree on." Sly said before Bentley alerted him.
"Sly! There's something in the water!"
"So it looks like you had an extra trick up your sleeve eh?" He said to Dr. M.
"That I did. Real leaders always have backup plans. And backups to those backups! As a fellow genius, I knew there would always be the chance that Bentley would find a way to disable the homing missiles. But no one would account for anything you can't see! Out of sight, out of mind as they say." Dr. M. explained. "But, I suppose the cat is out of the bag now."
The boat began to change as its cloaking became disabled. Transform, actually. Arms and a head began to be revealed along with legs before it landed on the ground, causing a large amount of water to splash as it did so. Its eyes lit up along with its mouth before its true, monstrously giant form was revealed to everyone.
"Well, I guess owe you guys an apology." Sly said to the group as he got to see the hulking boat turned robot for himself.
"Witness my ultimate weapon! Tidal Wave!" Dr. M. exclaimed.
"I don't remember seeing giant transforming boats on the contract!" Dimitri exclaimed.
"Contract? We don't have contracts." Penelope said.
"Contract, no contract. We seem to be in for a quite a battle." Panda King said.
"Looks like it's time to man the cannons!" Murray said.
"I don't know if cannons are gonna be enough to take that thing down." Bentley said.
"Well, I guess we won't know if we don't try!" Murray said before shooting a cannon at it, which didn't seem to have any effect on it at all. "Oh. Well, I guess it didn't work. Any ideas?"
"None yet. For right now, Sly's going to have to take care of this one."
"Already on it!" Sly said, approaching Tidal Wave on his plane, with Nimona and Launch not too far behind. Ruby had decided to dive into the water, taking off her gear before she did so.
"Ruby! What are you doing!?" Nimona called out.
"Tidal Wave's not the only one that can go big!" She replied before landing in the water a second later.
Transformers 2004/ Armada PS2 Soundtrack- Tidal Wave Plays
"With Jenny trying to hit it as a boat and its body not showing any type of damage, most likely due to it being heavily armored, as you might have guessed, this hulking Titanic is gonna be really hard to take down. Standard light arms probably aren't going to cut it. Your best bet is the big guns! Use the missiles on it and keep your distance! It'll probably swat you out of the air if you get close! And one hit from that thing might be game over!" Bentley said to Sly.
"Noted." Sly replied as the three began to aim at its head and fire missiles at it as it started to slowly walk around the area, with Nimona and Launch also attacking it as well, using fireballs and rocket launcher shots respectively. As they did, unsurprisingly, it had its own weapons to attack with, firing machine gun shots and missiles of its own from the cannons on its chest. The missiles went upwards before beginning to rain back down.
After taking several hits to the head, it used one of its arms to cover its face and block any further headshots.
"It looks like hits to the head is its weak spot!" Bentley said, taking a look at Tidal Wave via Binocucom. "I wonder if its cannons are just as vulnerable."
"Well, only one way to find out."
Sly began to target some of its cannons with Jenny doing the same thing. Seconds later, Ruby appeared from out of the water, and was a whole lot bigger than before in her giant Kraken form. Maybe not as tall as Tidal Wave, but it was close enough for her to feel confident in discarding her gear.
"Alright Tidal Wave! Try taking on someone your own size!" She bellowed before missiles were sent her way, forcing her to have to block them. "As Toxsa would say, eat laser!" She shot a laser beam at its chest before moving upwards to its head, heavily staggering it.
"That sure would have been useful during the challenges we were in!" Nimona called out.
"Yeah I know. But, it only works when I'm large bodies of water like this. So it's kind of a scenario-based thing. I think I said that before."
"Oh yeah, you did! I totally forgot!"
"I mean, that was all the way back at the first challenge so it kinda makes sense why." Jenny said.
Though the giant was finished yet. After several seconds, its cannons started to repair themselves and started to fire again as if nothing happened.
"Great. Bentley, it's got auto-repair!" Sly said to him.
"Auto-repair huh? Well, that certainly makes things a lot tougher. But, it's still not invincible! If you can take out those guns once, you can do it again!" Bentley said. "Those systems can only repair so much so quickly."
Smaller robots began to appear out of it, as a gap opened along one of its arms before it closed, these having wings to be able to fly.
"Wait a second… these are Decepticons!" Jenny discovered.
"Whatever was changed in the timeline probably allowed for Dr. M. to get his hands on it." Chronoa guessed.
The Decepticons immediately started to open fire on all of them.
"I'll take care of them. You just focus on getting rid of Tidal Wave! And this time, they're gonna feel these shots!" Launch, as her bad personality said to the other four.
"I'll help you!" Nimona volunteered before flying towards her to join her in the fight against the smaller forces.
Meanwhile….
Racing Drone Headquarts AKA Hot Wheels City(Hot Wheels Acceleracers)
Isagi, the Duck triplets, Bachira and Akashi had followed the Teku and Metal Maniacs through the Cosmic Realm and into Drone Headquarters, which was originally Hot Wheels City before they had taken the city over. Now, they were in a Racing Drone Sweeper being driven by an, unbeknownst to him at this time, a future contestant in Monkey.
Kurt was concluding his story about a business deal he and his brother Mark had gotten into.
"If I told all I knew it could have kept Markie out of prison. But it could have ruined me. So….. I didn't say anything. He got two years." Kurt concluded. "I won't leave him again."
"Can anyone hear me?" A voice was suddenly heard asking over everyone's onboard radios. Though static was heard in between some of the words.
"That sounds like Kadeem!" Karma said, surprised.
"He's alive? The drones must have gotten him too!" Kurt figured before replying to Kadeem. "Kadeem, this is Kurt! Where are you?"
"Kurt!" Kadeem replied, surprised, but more than happy to hear his voice. "I know where they're holding your brother! I can lead you to us! We're in the tallest building!"
"Those two robots we saw in the scroll. You don't think…." Huey started.
"What scroll?" Nolo asked.
"It's nothing. Mind just started drifting off." He quickly replied.
"Just hang in there. Once we rescue my brother and Kadeem we'll be out of here." Kurt said.
Eventually, the Drones that stayed behind had been made alert of their presence and had started to attack them. First with a surprise turret attack that was inches away from connecting and destroying all of them in one blast. And second with multiple units coming towards them to attack.
The wave of drones caused Monkey to allow everyone's cars out of the Sweeper to help. But it was Monkey that did most of the heavy lifting. The newcomer six were second behind him in taking out the Drone forces.
Right now, multiple Drone Jets were after them and were firing at them with rapid fire energy cannons, with motorcycles and a couple of car and pickup-truck like vehicles after them as well shooting slower firing, but stronger and bigger energy balls at them.
"I thought this was supposed to be racing!? This does not look like racing!" Isagi remarked as he moved out of the way of an energy blast from a motorcycle drone, with him driving a motorcycle himself. He retaliated by shooting his energy pistol back at the drone but missed. It looked back at the shot without realizing that they were coming up on a gap and it ended up landing awkwardly and falling off its bike.
"Well, at least it's not boring!" Louie remarked, who was driving a miniature sports car for his size.
"Actually it is racing. Combat racing!" Dewey exclaimed.
Bachira's motorcycle had just been hit, with a single blast from an Lieutenant unit's truck destroying it. Even so, Bachira was able to amazing get over to one of the motorcycle drivers, kick him off and steal his motorcycle.
"Alright, as cool as that was, you guys are getting way too excited over this!" Isagi said. "I think I'll take boring over the chance of getting killed by racing robots!" A jet was heard crashing down into the ground. The source: Huey, who had used a lock-on rocket launcher to take out a jet in one hit.
"Kurt! Go and find your brother! We'll take care of these drones!" Nolo said to him.
"Follow Kurt! They'll be able to handle themselves." Trunks said. "We can't forget what we're here for."
The six time travelers plus Kurt split off to head towards the building Kadeem was referring to.
As they continued to traverse the city, following Kadeem's instructions, Isagi looked up and could have sworn he saw something moving, but didn't have time to worry about that as he had heard Kurt talking to Kadeem again.
"Kadeem, are we still on the right path?" Kurt asked.
"Yes. Make sure you take the left track, not the right." Kadeem replied before adding, "I can see you've brought some friends. New ones I see. I don't recognize them. Their cars at least."
"Yeah. You could say that. They said they were here to help."
"I see. Well, the more the merrier."
Eventually, Kadeem implored Kurt to keep their speed up.
Several seconds later, something was tripped as a green line could be faintly seen, something that only Akashi and Isagi had caught.
"Kurt stop." Akashi said to him.
"We don't have time for that."
"Yes. Time is of the essence! Keep going Kurt!" Kadeem said to them.
"At least slow down." Isagi suggested.
"Didn't you hear Kadeem? We can't stop! We have to keep our speed up!" A green dot could be seen on the back of his car blinking multiple times.
"Kurt stop the damn car now you're being targeted!"
"What? What are you talking about!?"
"Kurt, do it." Akashi said.
Kurt took a few seconds to think before deciding to put his foot on the brake and stop, with everyone else doing the same. But it was too late. Seconds later, a shot was seen. Kurt could feel the faint glow behind him and looked back in horror as an energy ball was coming towards his car. But Bachira, with quick thinking, was able to cancel it out with an energy ball from the Drone motorcycle he was still using. It exploded in mid-air, causing everyone to have to shield themselves from the explosion.
"Looks like you were right. I'm sorry."
"It's alright. You want to save your brother. I get how much that means to you."
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be thinking either. Won't be able to save him if I never get there. If you see anything else that I don't catch, let me know. Let's get moving again. Kadeem, you didn't see that?"
"No, I didn't. Sorry." He replied.
"It's fine. Just try to be on the lookout for it next time."
"Of course."

TMNT 2003 3 Mutant Nightmare Arcade Soundtrack- Skull and Crossbones Plays
Raphael was seen flipping in the air before hitting a Triceraton soldier square in the chest, causing him to stumble before Bennett blasted him to the ground and following it up with a couple of more afterwards.
Donatello used his staff to knock the blaster out of another's hands before swinging it at him. But, to the turtle's surprise, the Triceraton was able to catch it before throwing a punch of his own at him. Though the genius had a counter to that counter, ducking the punch before doing an upwards flip kick, hitting him square in the jaw and forcing him to let go of Donnie's staff. He grabbed and rubbed his jaw in pain, but he wasn't through yet. The sudden appearance of a motorcycle hitting him in the back would finish him though as he was hit in the back of the head by one of the wheels before he fell to the ground.
"Casey!" Mikey exclaimed.
Riding with him on the motorcycle was April, who had a Triceraton blaster rifle in her hand.
"Hey guys!" April said.
"Who's ya new friends?" Casey asked.
"Just know that they're here to help!" Leo said as he blocked an attack from a Triceraton attempting to shock him with a shock baton. He was able to hold him back just enough for Tangle to punch him from behind with her tail.
"You can call us the Time Patrol!" Tangle said.
"Time Patrol? Wait, are you guys time travelers!?" Mikey asked.
"You do realize we're only temporary members right?" Axl remarked as he jumped in the air over multiple Triceraton soldiers that attempted to corral and surround them before he spun around and blasted at all of them, forcing them to scatter or shield themselves from the shots.
"And you all realize that you're not actually supposed to be casually disclosing information like that, right?" Chronoa said to the two.
Tangle grabbed all of them and sent them into the wall of a building. "You know, when you really think about it, what's the harm that's going to do anyway? I mean it's not like they'll remember any of this."
"I think I have a reason as to why, and it's not the reason many of you may think." Cicini started as she jumped high enough to be on the same level as a flying Triceraton soldier, which surprised him. Panicking, he moved out of her way, but hit a lamppost a couple of seconds after, causing him to lost his flight pack. "If the wrong person were to know about the Time Patrol and what we're doing, there's nothing stopping them from trying to come back with us, take the scroll, or stop us from going back."
"Exactly. I don't just say these things for my health. Do I need to remind you that Demigra and Towa were able to get in the Time Vault?" Chronoa said. "The last thing we need is someone else getting their hands on one of these scrolls."
"Okay, I definitely feel attacked here." Chris said.
"You should. This is your fault after all."
"Just like it's your fault for not beefing up security after the first time."
"Alright, I'll admit, that is completely fair but let's not play the blame game here."
"If you're time travelers, what's it like in the future? What type of video games are there? How does the Justice Force comic line end? Did we beat the Shredder for good?" Mikey asked, all in rapid-fire before he spun around on his shell and knocked three Triceraton troopers off their feet.
"Mikey, you know they can't tell us that." Donnie said, dodging a stun baton trooper's attack before poking him in between his two eyes with his staff, causing the Triceraton to stagger back a bit before whacking him on top of his head with enough force to knock him out.
"Oh, but why not?"
"Because if they did, there's a chance the future could change and it might not ever happen."
"Can you at least give us a hint?" Mikey asked the four.
"No! You can't tell them anything!" Chronoa said to the four.
"Sorry, we've got keep our lips sealed." Bennett said.
"I honestly feel like you're being way too paranoid about this." Chris said to her.
"And statements like that is why you should never be trusted doing something like this." Chronoa replied.
Casey drove up a crashed car as if it was a ramp. Two air Triceratons were attempting to shoot them down but they couldn't seem to hit any of the shots. Which allowed April to shoot both of them down.
"Nice shootin'!" Casey said to her.
The next few, instead of shooting at them directly, shot at the ground in front of them and hit the front tire, causing it to go out and fall off the bike, with them falling next.
"Casey! April!" Leo called out before quickly overpowering the Triceraton he was fighting to hurry and get to the two before the Triceraton troops could finish them off.
But Tangle was a lot faster than him and was able to beat him to it, grabbing the two and knocking out the soldiers that took out the motorcycle.
"Thanks." April said to her.
"No problem!" She replied.
"Man I wish I woulda brought my sports bag! They're gonna pay for trashin' my bike!" Casey said before the ground was heard shaking. "Don't look at me. You didn't hear me say a thing!"
Music Stops
In the distance, alongside several soldiers, a large orange mecha was seen that had the appearance of a Triceraton.
"That's not good." Mikey said.
"Tell us somethin' we don't know captain obvious!" Raph said.
"So, what do you guys think we should do? I'm all for running." April said.
"Running is exactly what they want us to do. We'll fight!" Leo declared.
"You sure? That robot's lookin' kinda big. Not that I'm scared or anything." Casey said.
"If we can take on and beat the Shredder, then we can beat this too! Get ready! We're about to in one shell of a fight!"
"All Triceraton troops stand down! I repeat! Stand down!" A Triceraton ordered, his face being broadcast on every active screen in the world.
The macha suddenly stopped as if it had shut down.
"Alright. Guess he finally came to his senses to tell his guys to scram." Casey said.
"I am Zanramon, Prime Leader of the great and glorious Triceraton Republic! Effective immediately, your planet is under Triceraton control and command!" He declared.
"What!? This guy is out of his mind!" Raph said.
"You may wonder why we have decided to come your planet. Simple! We have come in search of Professor Honeycutt, also known as The Fugitoid! According to our scans, he is here taking refuge on this planet! Surrender him to us, and we may consider sparing your lives. Refuse and you will be destroyed! You have 10 trigons to comply! All of you will be taken into custody for questioning and detainment until he is found. Resist, and you'll be met with brute force! I cannot control the extent of this force, however. So I strongly suggest you comply."
"Uh, dude, I hate to break it you, but the professor's not even here!" Mikey said.
"He's right. He skipped town a while ago." Raph said.
"You do realize he can't hear you right?" Leo said to the two.
"Preposterous! Our scanners show that he is on this planet!" Zanramon insisted.
"You were sayin'?" Raph said.
"Oh. Well, I stand corrected. How exactly is he able to hear us?"
"From the Trigolem! Now, back to the Fugitoid. Your claim of the Fugitoid not being on this planet is unfounded! Which makes us believe that you're the ones harboring him!"
"That's not true! Honest! What you're tracking is the residual energy of-"Donnie began to explain before Zanramon cut him off
"We are fully aware of what we're tracking! Now you insult our intelligence!? You'll suffer the consequences! And once your suffering has finished, you will tell us where the Fugitoid is!"
"Fine then. Don't say we didn't try to talk it out." Raph said, readying his Sai as the Triceraton soldiers readied their own weapons. The Trigolem also returned back online.
Kaine Island(Sly 3)
Transformers 2004/Armada PS2 Tidal Wave (3944 Build) Plays(A/N: This theme is the version used in the first Alpha Prototype version of the game)
Despite Ruby hitting Tidal Wave in the body with lasers and the multiple shots to the head it had taken, the behemoth proved its strength with it still being standing.
"Jeez, what's it going to take for this thing to go down?" Jenny asked, having to fend off Decepticons herself as the additional reinforcements increased since the first time they started to appear.
"More lasers, bullets and missiles to its head if I had to guess." Sly said as he flew by.
"Sly, you are absolutely correct! Sometimes a simple problem calls for a simple solution!" Bentley said. "As annoying as its turrets may be, it'll have to be a sacrifice you'll have to make to ultimately take it out! The more time you try to focus on other parts of it, the more time it has for the auto-repair to fix its head."
"Easier said than done considering its covering its head after almost every few hits now." Ruby G. said before having to block more missiles and bullets. "Whatever we're going to do, please let it be quick. These are really starting to hurt now!"
When she swatted away a couple of Decepticons and began to shoot a laser at Tidal Wave's head, it covered it with its arm, blocking the attack.
"Ooh, I got a killer idea! Just hold em off for me okay?" Nimona, now as a mouse, said to Ruby on her shoulder, which scared her and caused her to accidentally hit Launch and knocking her out of the sky. And to make matters worse, she was hit by a few missiles, unblocked, causing her to start to fall to the ground, making a big splash, literally.
Two Decepticons began to fly towards Launch to finish her off, but was hit by a large wave of water before they could.
"Watch out everyone! Hang on!" Bentley yelled out as he and the rest of the Cooper Gang prepared to hang on for dear life as a large wave was preparing to crash against their ship.
"Guys! Are you alright!?" Sly asked as he and Jenny had to quickly pull up just to avoid the water from hitting them too. But it allowed for Tidal Wave to hit them with bullets. While Jenny was able to take it, Sly's airplane, on the other hand, was a different story. Having already taken some damage from the previous battles he had, the hits from the bullets, and a missile for good measure, were the straws that broke the camel's back, causing the plane to go down as its propellor and right wing was on fire. Sly was forced to jump out of it and use his paraglider to land.
"This isn't good. At this rate, they're done for! I'm going in!" Trunks said.
"No wait! I got it! I caused this. Let me fix it! You keep watching for if those masked guys show up." Nimona said as she quickly ran up Tidal Wave's body as a mouse, after turning into a hammerhead shark and swimming to Tidal Wave. Once she got to where its head was, she turned into a spider and crawled into a small gap she had found.
Missiles had begun to fly again, and Bentley did not like the trajectory some of them were headed. "That is not good at all! Abandon ship!"
Thankfully, Jenny was able to destroy them before they were able to get there to the ship after she dodged the missiles that were coming towards her.
"Ruby! Launch! Are you guys alright?" She asked as she prepared to elevate again, dodging the bullets that were headed her way.
"Yeah. I'm heading back to shore." Ruby replied as she had just gotten out of the water and back on land. Land that Tidal Wave had begun to slowly make his way towards.
"Good. Then you can give me a hand. I'm pinned down!" Launch said as she was behind cover, which could only do so much as her adversaries could fly.
Meanwhile, Nimona was inside Tidal Wave. As expected, multiple wires and circuits were seen inside him.
She didn't know what any of it did. And didn't care either. The only thing that mattered to her was making sure all of it was in ruins. She changed into a beaver and started to chew through the wires.
And eventually, on the outside, the effects started to show, with it getting worse the longer Nimona stayed in there. Electricity started to come out of it and then fire seconds later before eventually, its head popped off completely as Nimona had punched her way out through its head, back as her normal self and reverting her left arm back to normal size.
Music Stops
Before she could even get a chance to celebrate, explosions were heard before the large robot started to fall to the ground, causing her to have to jump off. "Cannonball!" She changed into a whale mid-air to make a big splash as she entered the water. An even larger wave was seen as Tidal Wave fell to the ground, causing the ground, and even the entire island, to shake as it did.
"This one's even worse than the last! At this rate, the whole island might sink!" Penelope said as everyone was taken to shore by Jenny.
But thankfully, that wasn't the case.
"So, you were able to defeat my secret weapon. No matter! It doesn't change a thing!" Dr. M. bellowed from the multiple towers on his island.
"I know you can hear me! No more running Dr. M.!" Sly called out.
"What you call 'running' is what I call, a tactical retreat!"
"You can call it going out to a vacation for all I care. We're settling this now! Face to face. Leave my friends out of it."
"Disguising self-glory for nobility. How unsurprising."
"Guess all that genius couldn't give you courage I see."
"And I guess all of those 'expert thief' skills couldn't give you, or the rest of your line humility."
"That's 'master thief'. And you don't know anything about me or my family!"
"Well then, if you really think that. Then I suppose you wouldn't mind telling me personally how wrong I am."
"That I will."
"Cooper, you know you cannot go to battle with him alone. He's trying to goad you into a trap." Panda King said to him.
"Yeah, I know. Which is why we're all going to spring it. Together. He obviously wants my cane for the vault. But, I think he'll be surprised when he finds more than just me and the cane waiting for him."
"That's great and all but, how are we even going to get up there?" Murray asked.
"Well, we could get the Panda King to use his fireworks and send us up there." Sly suggested.
"What? Are you insane!?" Bentley asked.
"Not us silly. I mean the three of us get into the van and get up there."
"That's still crazy!"
"I like it! Let's do it!" Murray said.
"Oh heavenly father, please let me…." Bentley started, saying a prayer as Sly turned to Panda King and the others.
"Unfortunately that means you guys are going to have to stay-" Sly started before he noticed that Nimona, Launch, Ruby and Jenny were all gone. "-Behind."
"Well Cooper? Are you ready to commence the plan?" Panda King asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be. Now, let's go get the van."
Drone Headquarters
The seven continued their drive towards Kadeem and Mark, getting closer and closer to their destination as they were about to drive past it.
"Great! You're almost there! Keep following the same track. It'll lead you upwards to the entrance." Kadeem instructed Kurt.
They began to go upwards on the track they were on as it began to wrap around the building as well before they eventually got to the entrance that Kadeem spoke of. Once they got in and stopped, everyone looked around. The room was completely empty.
"Are we sure this is the right place?" Louie asked him.
"Kadeem, there's no one here. Is this the right place?" Kurt asked. No response. "Kadeem? Can you hear me?" Still nothing. "Kadeem!"
"Great. How are you going to give instructions and then leave? At least say 'you're here' or something."
"He wouldn't just leave without a good reason to. There might be interference. Or there might be some Drones around him."
"Well, I guess it couldn't hurt to look around." Huey said. With that, everyone got out/off their vehicles to explore the area.
"Kadeem! You there!?" Dewey called out.
"If he was somewhere around you basically told the Drones we're in here." Isagi whispered.
"Why are you whispering so low? We're the only ones in here." Louie said.
"Because I don't want to get caught, that's why!"
"What part of, we have weapons didn't you get? If one of those things were to come up here, we'll just-" Louie started before a part of the floor below him started to leave, scaring him as he was in danger of falling. Thankfully, Isagi and Dewey were able to pull him. A circle-shaped gap in the ground was seen.
"See? This is why I wanted to be careful, unlike you!"
"Oh yeah, because you totally saw that. And if you did, why didn't you tell me? To 'teach me a lesson'? Real caring of you there buddy."
"Louie what did you do!?" Huey whispered, low as he, Kurt, Bachira and Akashi quickly ran in to join them.
"How are you just gonna assume I did it? And second, you don't know if what happened is a bad thing or not. It could be a clue! Like a secret trap-door!"
"You trying to justify basically gives it away that it was you."
"How?"
"Because if it was anyone else you would have immediately blamed them for it."
"Fair point."
Something started to come back up. That something being a someone, actually. Hung up on the now elevated floor.
"Markie!" Kurt exclaimed, relieved until he saw what had happened to his left arm.
"Why does his left arm look the ones those Drones have?" Dewey asked in a low voice.
"Probably because it is, duh." Louie replied before Huey elbowed both of them and eyeballed Kurt.
"Oh. Sorry." Both said to Kurt, who was looking down in defeat after realizing that he was too late.
"I'm sorry…. Markie…."
Suddenly, something was heard coming down from above them, slightly to the left, causing al of them to look over to see what it was, including Kurt. The throne turned to reveal the person sitting on it. That person being Kadeem.
"If you're here to rescue me. I am afraid you may be too late." He said. And while the face and his clothing made it easy enough for Kurt and the contestants to recognize him, that wasn't the case for….. the rest of him.
Kurt noticed the wires replacing his Torso and connecting the human part of his upper body to the lower half. One of his arms was replaced with a Drone's arm as well, just like Mark's. His hair also had wired in them as well, with a wire also being connected in his neck. His eyes had also become green like Gelorum's. Several bruises were seen along the human parts of him that were still preserved, from his body, his left arm and his face.
"Well, I think we found one of the guys in the scroll." Dewey said, the fear coming back into his body again, completely forgetting that he had a weapon.
But the others didn't and they immediately began to shoot at him with their energy blasters, all of which, Kadeem blocked with ease as his eyes began to glow red briefly.
"Kadeem? Wh-what have they done to you!?" Kurt asked, horrified.
"They made me stronger!" Kadeem bellowed.
Huey shot a rocket launcher at him but Kadeem, jumping to an incredible height, was able to completely move out of the way of the rocket before he landed back on the ground, immediately taking Huey's rocket launcher and tossing before picking up Huey by his neck.
"Put my brother down! Now!" Louie and Dewey said simultaneously before Kadeem smirked and tossed him off the building to their horror. Both of them began to shoot at Kadeem, but it was useless as he moved too quick towards them before he swatted both of them away. Akashi attempted to find an angle but it only allowed for Kadeem to quickly run to him and punch him in the gut, causing him to fall to the ground before he kicked him in the face, sending him across the floor. Isagi and Bachira met similar fates, being put to the ground by Kadeem as well. Kurt, with no options, attempted to run back to his car to try and run Kadeem over. And/or call for help.
Kadeem only smiled, amused at Kurt's attempt to try to run from him before jumping over to him easily, beating him to the spot and blocking his path. Kurt slowly stepped back as Kadeem slowly advanced towards him.
"Faster too. Do you remember when we fought before? I won."
New York(TMNT 2003)
TMNT 2003 3 Mutant Nightmare Soundtrack- Episode Boss Plays
When Leo said that they were in for one shell of a fight, he couldn't have been less happy to have been right. The Trigolem, even with the help of the Time Patrol newcomers, proved to have been very tough to take down compared to the ground troops helping it. But it seemed like it didn't need any help, considering how it was faring now. Tangle had even tried tripping it with her tail, but that proved to have been a bad idea as the pilot was smart enough to see it and not only avoid the attempt, but step on the tail as well, causing Tangle to yell out in pain, the loudest she's ever yelled since coming to the show. It was safe to say that she wasn't going to be able to use her tail for the rest of the fight. It felt like hell for her to even try to just retract it. Actually using it would probably feel even worse.
"It's like we're not even putting a dent into this thing!" Bennett said, shooting energy blasts at its legs, hand and body, with none of them seeming to show any effect on the mecha.
"Keep trying! Nothing is invincible!" Leo said.
"Yeah. The Shredder thought he couldn't be beaten, and look what happened to him." Raph said.
"You guys keep bringing up Shredder. This is clearly not him!" April said, moving out of the way of laser blasts coming from one of the laser cannons that emerged from its shoulders.
"I hate to break it to them, but those weapons are not going to cut it in beating him." Old Bennett said to his younger self.
"Yeah, I know. But let's not act like we've been putting in work either." Young Bennett said. "Literally none of our weapons seem to be doing enough damage to it. This is definitely something that should have gone to guys like Natsu."
"True, but, Natsu's not here right now. We can't rely on them to constantly save us. We have to be able to save ourselves!"
"Alright, well, I think we can start by coming up with ideas to do that."
"I know! I know! I'm thinking!"
"Look, I know about what Leo said, but this isn't working!" Donatello said as he jumped over a laser beam streaking across the ground. The Trigolem continued to fire the beam until it eventually stopped to cool down.
"Why not try to blind the guy in there, then make him fall like Humpty Dumpty?" Casey suggested, now using a wooden beam he found as a weapon as if it was a baseball bat or hockey stick.
"Great idea. If there was an actual pilot in it." Young Bennett said.
"Wait, there's nobody in that thing?"
"You're just figuring that out?"
"Well, I mean they had that Zanraman guy talking from that thing so can ya blame me?"
"To be fair, if you look, you can see there's no way for anyone to be able to pilot with how it's made." Donnie said, using his staff to vault himself upward and over missiles that were coming his way from the Trigolem.
"That's it!" Old Bennett exclaimed. "Why didn't I think of that sooner?"
"Would be nice if you shared your idea with us." Young Bennett replied.
"You're askin' me? You're one of the geniuses here, I'm askin' you!" Casey replied as he hit a Triceraton in his helmet so hard it caused it to crack.
"Simple really. An electromagnetic pulse. That should shut it down!" Old Bennett said.
"That's great but how exactly are we going to be able to get that to work?" Young Bennett asked as he flew in the air, dodging blaster shots from soldiers before Cicini shot them.
"Again, I'm askin' you that." Casey said.
"I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to…. my onboard AI!"
"'Onboard AI'. I feel a little insulted by that." Old Bennett said.
"Well I had to come up with something. What did you want me to tell them, I'm talking to myself? Besides, when you think about it, it kinda fits."
"No it doesn't. I'm way better than some AI. I have feelings! Arms, legs-" He stopped the second he saw Axl out the corner of his eye. "Oh. Well still, I'm not AI! And don't even think about giving me some dumb name either. But anyway, I was going to say we could use those weapons, but with everyone destroying them, that's not going to work. So…" He then grimaced. "How do I put this?"
"You might as well just say it and get it over with."
"My other idea was using your suit as an EMP." Old Bennett quickly said.
"Oh. Well that's great! I never thought about doing something like- wait a second."
"Yep. It's the only way I'm afraid."
"Fine. But only because of the circumstances. When this is over with, we're getting to work on building another one ASAP. Tell me what I have to do." He goes in the air to take off the suit before talking to the others.
"Alright kid. First of all, you're going to have to wait a bit until the energy discharges. The last thing we need is you getting electrocuted. Since you and Cicini worked on this, it's probably best that she helps with this too." Old Bennett began.
"I'm not sure what they're doing, but it looks like they're going to need some time." Donnie said.
"Then we'll give them as much time as they need! Let's go guys! Do whatever you have to to keep that thing distracted!" Leo said.
Drone Headquarters
Kurt was seen being knocked into a wall as his goggles fell off his eyes.
"What about your people Kadeem? Your home?" Kurt said to him.
"Home?" Kadeem repeated, seemingly confused before starting to walk towards him again. Isagi and Bachira ran at him, with the former trying to punch him and the latter attempting to kick him. But he was able to block both and send them back, knocking them to the ground before turning his attention back to Kurt. "You'll understand soon when you become of us. Just like your brother."
Seemingly on cue, Mark had broken free from his confines and landed on the ground.
"Markie?" Kurt said to him before Mark looked up to show his eyes. And they were now pure red, without any type of pupils at all as dark energy began to surround him.
"I already told you….. the name is Wylde!" He replied before going towards him.
"Great. Things are playing out the same way we saw before. But this time it's worse because Huey's gone!" Dewey said as Akashi was attempting to shoot at Mark but was stopped by Kadeem, who grinned as he walked towards Akashi.
"Even so, that doesn't mean we should call it quits. If it was Huey here instead of us, I don't think he'd just give up. He didn't quit against Ryu even when he had every reason to. And we're not quitting either. Akashi and the others need our help just like we needed his back then. And plus, I don't know about you, but I don't think I'm gonna take him doing that to our brother lying down. Now let's rewrite some history." Louie declared.
"Okay, that last line definitely helps but, I think I'd feel a lot better about this if we had a plan to beat him. He's strong and fast enough to overpower all of us."
"Correction. His robot parts are. I seriously doubt the rest of him can take that amount of punishment."
"Ohhh, I never thought about that. Alright, sounds like a plan! Not a strong one, but strong enough."
Both of them grabbed their weapons and were headed towards Kadeem to rejoin the fight.
Kadeem threw out a hook that Akashi had ducked, with him retaliating with a kick to his chest. Though it wasn't too effective as Kadeem wasn't moved much by the attack. Though the combined efforts of Isagi and Bachira as well seemed to at least keep him at bay. And the additions of Dewey and Louie shooting at him forced him to have to get some space.
"Impressive. I haven't been able to hit you since your first few attempts." Kadeem said to Akashi.
"When your attack strategies are as limited as they are, it isn't exactly too hard for me to predict them. Effective counters are a different story however." Akashi replied.
"I see. I think Gelorum would appreciate your talents greatly."
"And have us looking like that? All offense when I say this, you were better off the way you looked before." Louie said.
"Back to when I was weak. Though in your case, you'd be nothing more than a lowly mechanic."
"Alright, that's it!" Louie started to fire at him again, with Kadeem easily blocking the shots as he jumped high to get to him. Though with a bit of patience, Huey and Dewey were able to hit him in his face a couple of times perfectly and knock him down.
"What's the matter Kurt? You scared of fightin' your little brother now that he can fight back!?" Wylde taunted as he continued to throw out punches and kicks. Other than maybe a few light counters, Kurt hasn't tried to attack him.
"Markie, I'm sorry-"
"Yeah. You're right. You are sorry. A sorry piece of scrap!" Wylde said before finally catching him with a punch to the face before hitting him a few times in the gut and then hitting him clean in the face again, causing him to fall to the ground before Wylde picked him up. "If it was up to me, I'd squash you right now. But hey, maybe after this, we'll be racin' together. So I guess that'll be alright."
A motorcycle was suddenly heard before it hit Wylde directly in the face, knocking him down. The motorcycle driver being Bachira. He landed on the ground, stopped and then turned around and attempted to do the same thing with Kadeem. But in this case, he was able to stop it and then throw the entire motorcycle, forcing Bachira to get off it as it flew out of the building, exploding seconds later as it had hit another building.
"Wylde. I can't fix what happened before. I'll fully own up to that. But I said I'm not leaving you behind again. And I meant that." Kurt said.
Wylde began to get up. "Just like when you said you were gonna be there for me during that deal and left me to rot in prison for two years!? Just like when you left in the Junk Realm!?"
"I already told you I'm not leaving you again. Even if it means I gotta knock some sense into you." Kurt said, getting into a fighting stance.
"Save it. Now let's go." Wylde replied, also getting into a fighting stance.
Once they got close enough, both of them started to fight each other. But it was clue after the first few punches who was stronger. When Kurt got a clean punch on his face, Wylde only slowly turned his head and started to get more aggressive with his attacks, eventually overwhelming him and picking him up again before punching him in the face multiple times and then throwing him to the ground. Wylde then quickly ran up to him before picking him up again and then slamming him against one of the empty containment canisters as the purple energy came back.
"What's wrong little brother? Got nothin' else to say? That's right, I said little. 'Cause you're not my big brother anymore. I'm stronger than you. Faster than you. And a better racer than you! Think about it! That's why you left me in the Junk Realm! You knew I was the better racer so you'd rather let me die than admit it. First, you tried to stop me from racing in the World Race by not letting me race on your team. And when that didn't work, you tried to get rid of me in the Junk Realm! And it ain't just me. It's everybody else too! That's why you cheated in the World Race! That's why you got disqualified in that other race you in before then! You couldn't stand it when me, Vert and the rest of the Wave Rippers won and got that money. You wanted all of it for yourself! You just got me into that deal as a scapegoat in case somethin' went wrong. And surprise, surprise, something did go wrong."
"That's….. not….. true." Kurt said between breaths. He was hurting but closing his eyes would be the easy way to go out. And he refused to do that.
"Look at you! Even like this you can't even admit you're wrong! But you know what? Soon, it ain't gonna matter anyway. Gelorum gave me a chance even when I didn't talk. She could have tortured me. But she didn't. You didn't give me that chance when all I wanted to do was race with you on your team in the World Race! Not because you didn't want me to get hurt. But because you didn't wanna be showed up by your little brother. The Maniacs didn't either! I thought those guys were supposed to be 'welded'. They left me in there too. Taro could have helped me. Any of them could. They knew I needed help and they still left me! Guess me beatin' Tork rubbed 'em the wrong way so that was their get back. One realm as leader and they already wanted to kick me out!" Wylde said before he paused.
"You know what's funny? I think I know why you hated Vert. Cause he's everything you never got to be. A skilled driver. Skilled enough to be the best and win. And not only that, but the guy cared enough to give me a chance. And he willingly gave Kadeem his money. He's got the skill you always thought you had on top of havin' friends, is younger than you, and without the ego. You couldn't stand that a guy like that was better than you. Knowing her, she'll probably give you a second chance too." Wylde said before he got hit in the face before being sent into a wall himself. The culprit being an airborne duck wearing a suit. "Stay outta my way!" He said to the duck, trying to get him off as he was still being held against the wall.
"Not until you stop and get ahold of yourself!" The duck replied, the voice revealing him to have been Huey, with the suit he was wearing now changed to resemble Gizmoduck's.
"Huey!" Both Dewey and Louie exclaimed.
"I can't believe it! He's alive!" Dewey said.
"I can. It's our brother." Louie said.
"Not how you were feeling a few minutes ago."
"Yes it was. I was just saying that to try to motivate you."
"Suuuure."
"Just be quiet and come on so we can help him." Louie said before running to where Huey, Wylde and Kurt were.
"You don't get nothin' about me! You don't even know who I am!" Wylde replied to Huey.
"Actually, I do. A lot more than you think. But that's neither here nor there. What I do know is what it means to be a good big brother. And Kurt is definitely that." Huey said.
"Yep! We can vouch!" Dewey added as he and Louie were behind him.
"Same here. He might be annoying, but that doesn't change the fact that he cares about us." Louie said before he thought of something and went to Kurt's car.
"And Kurt is the same way. He's the reason why the Teku and the Maniacs all came here to this place. To rescue you! They lost the Accelecharger but that was the last thing they were concerned about."
"Oh yeah? If that's really the case. Then where's everybody else at, huh!?" Wylde said, beginning to use his own strength and push back before he flipped the script, with Huey being the one that was against the wall.
"Holding off the Drones. They told Kurt to go ahead and go and find you." Huey said, trying to fight back. But the unexpected spike of strength from Wylde made it harder than he expected.
"He's foolin' you! I bet Tezla came up with the idea so he could get the Wheel of Power back. And he told Kurt to lie to everybody about getting me back."
"Wylde, you know how much I'm at odds with Tezla. I didn't even go to him and tell him about what we're doing. No one did. I didn't come here to get some wheel. I came here to get you." Kurt said to him, clutching his stomach in pain as he slowly walked to him.
"It's too bad you didn't come up with that sooner for Kadeem. Vert was the only one that said anything about him even after the Storm Realm. If anything, I bet it was his idea to try to get me. You're just tryin' to take credit!"
"Ah, Vert." Kadeem said, walking towards them. He had just defeated Akashi, Bachira and Isagi, despite the fight that they showed against him. "He would make an excellent Drone."
"He's not lying Wylde." Vert said, over the radio from Kurt's car, the engine being heard in the background along with other noises as he was still racing against Gelorum in The Ultimate Race. All of them were able to hear it thanks to Louie changing the audio output of the radio to the enhanced speaker sound system from Kurt's car. "It wasn't my idea. It was his. In fact, admittedly, I didn't even wanna go in. After what happened with the Junk Realm, I had called it quits. I was done with racing. So, if you really wanted to, you could say I abandoned you too."
"Then why are you racin' now?" Wylde asked, a genuine question from him as he noticeably started to relent on Huey.
"Because, I guess that belief had come back. And it kinda had to. For the sake of everyone else. I was the only person that could race against Gelourm. Everyone else was still in the Drones' headquarters. If I didn't, she'd would win, and I'm sure you know what that means. Even if I lose, if I didn't even try, I couldn't forgive myself. I tried to save Kadeem. And if I would have known about you, I would have tried to save you too. I know it doesn't seem like it, but Kurt does care about you. Not saying he's perfect but, if he really didn't care about you or anyone else at all, why would he have turned against Gelorum and CLYP to help you? Why would he come back to help us stop Gelorum and CLYP? Who do you think found out about you being taken by the drones in the first place? He wanted to go back in the Junk Realm but Gig told him he couldn't because the Wheel wouldn't let him. And that was when he found out from Gig that the Drones took you from the camera recording from your car. I was back at my place. So it wasn't me. And nobody told Tezla anything about it. Not even Lani knew. Kurt had gotten everyone together. Teku and Metal Maniacs. They made sure the plan was talked about outside of the Acceledrome, away from Tezla's cameras. So he wouldn't know and try to stop them. I explained everything him, but it was after the fact when they went in the realm."
"Wylde…..I understand why you'd be upset with me for leaving you. Not once, but twice. If you never forgive me for it, I can understand. But please, leave the others out of this." Kurt said.
"You understand? You understand now!? After all these years, now you get it!?" Wylde yelled out before charging at Kurt and slamming him to the ground. "You think one apology is gonna fix everything you did!? YOU RUINED MY LIFE KURT! I….. I…." He paused as he took several breaths.
Kadeem went to Kurt's car, causing Louie to run in horror and run away from him. Kadeem rips out the speakers from the car. "Well, I suppose that was interesting to know. Unfortunately, when Gelorum wins, it won't matter much anyway." He then blocked the others from interfering with Kurt and Wylde.
"I know. I know. Nothing I do's ever gonna fix anything I did." Kurt said, eyes closed.
"Then why? Why'd you come back? Why couldn't you just leave me be and be outta my life for good?" He replied, a drop of water noticeably coming out of one of his eyes.
"Because, it was the right thing to do. Maybe not the easiest. But right doesn't always align with easy. It took me a few times to understand that. Now I do."
Wylde threw a punch. But instead of it hitting Kurt, it hit the ground. Kurt opened his eyes after realizing his head wasn't bashed in and looked at Wylde.
"Sometimes, all a person needs is a chance to prove themselves." Wylde said, anger completely drained from his voice. He then turned to Kadeem.
"Hey Kadeem! I think you forgot to add 'if'. If she wins. I think you forgot that Vert's a champ." Wylde said.
"And? The Racing Realms are not the World Race. As he has found out." Kadeem replied.
"Hasn't exactly stopped him yet. From what I hear he's still goin'."
"You're saying this as if you want him to win."
"You know what? As a matter of fact, I do! Just like how I want you to lose!" Wylde declared.
"I see you need to be reprogrammed."
"Nah. You're the one that needs to be de-programmed." Wylde runs towards Kadeem to help the others, with the latter jumping towards him. The two got into a hand-to-hand fight. Kadeem threw a couple of punches that Wylde was able to easily block. With the others joining in, he swept Kadeem off his feet, his legs too long for him to be able to avoid it, knocking him down.
"That's the flipside of having long legs like yours." Isagi said to him.
Kadeem looked up as he saw Wylde running at him. Once he got close enough, he used those same legs to push up on Wylde's chest and send him flying into the air.
"Markie!" Kurt called out as Kadeem jumped after him.
The other six looked at Isagi. "Okay, yeah. I totally jinxed that."
When Wylde was starting to come back down, he fell on one of the rooftops of a building and breathed a sigh of relief that he wasn't dead as he stood back up. He heard the sound of Drone footsteps coming not even a second later. And he already had an idea of who it was.
Kadeem, on the other side, looked at Wylde, who was slowly moving across the narrow walkway connecting the two buildings before looking down below. There was not a building in sight that was tall enough for anyone to have a safe landing on from what he saw.
"Alright Kadeem. Let's see what ya got!" Wylde said as he had gotten into a fighting stance.
"Still human after all." Kadeem said, eye twitching as static was heard before his eyes slightly glowed red again before the two ran up to each other to fight once more.
Wylde was the first one to attack, throwing out a punch to where his gut(which was now wires) originally was. "Take that!" He exclaimed as he hit Kadeem with a spinning kick to the face that definitely seemed to have made his mark. When he attempted to hit him again, Kadeem held on to his leg with one arm. Wylde had a look on his face that showed that he knew he might be in trouble.
"You drive for me now." Kadeem said before punching him in the gut numerous times before preparing to hit him in the head hard enough to knock him out until he was hit in the back by blaster shots, causing him to turn around. Huey flew at him the second he turned his back towards them and hit him in the back, sending him flying towards the others.
"Is that it?" Kadeem taunted.
"Ain't exactly got any room to be cocky." Wylde replied as he got up.
"Kadeem, you're not one of them!" Dewey said to him in an attempt to get him to revert back to his normal way of thinking as everyone began to advance on him.
"So naïve. Don't worry. You'll know everything soon enough." Kadeem said.
"I know that you're not yourself. How is anything you're doing going to help your people back home?"
"Like I said before. You'll understand when you see what I see."
"Then I guess I won't." Dewey replied before all of them blasted him. All of this was cancelled out by him discharging dark energy from himself, sending everyone flying back.
"Uh oh. That's not good." Huey said as his suit was beginning to shut down on him from the purple electricity surrounding it from the explosion.
Everyone but Wylde, who was able to stay on his feet by shielding himself from the explosion. Kadeem was exhausted a bit from the explosion, giving Wylde the opportunity to attack.
The second he recovered however was the second Kadeem quickly got the upper hand again and was prepared to send him off the building.
"How disappointing that you chose your flesh and blood. You would have made a good Drone Wylde. But….." He looked at the others on the ground. "We can always make more." He finished as he grinned before Kurt and Akashi hit him in the face with a punch. He began to laugh at their pathetic attempt until both Isagi and Bachira helped by kicking him, staggering him before he lost his balance, with Louie adding in a shot for good measure to send him off the edge, barely hanging on with one hand.
"It's not too late Kadeem. Come back with us!" Kurt pleaded with him, holding out a hand.
"KADEEM IS GONE!" He then willingly let go of the ledge, falling too the city below as he was heard laughing, his laugh growing fainter and fainter as he began to disappear from sight.
"We failed…." Louie said as Mark and Kurt looked at each other before Kurt shook his head as they looked back down below.
"Actually, you're fine. Come back to the Time Vault." Trunks said.
"But weren't we supposed to bring Kadeem and Mark back to normal? I don't understand." Isagi said.
"Actually, no. If something like that were to happen, then history would still be off. That's an event that's supposed to happen later down the line." Supreme Kai of Time said.
"She's right. Not all history is good history….." Trunks said, as a long pause of silence was heard.
"Hello? You guys still there?" Dewey asked.
"Yeah. We're still here. Come on back to the Time Vault." Supreme Kai of Time said.
As this was happening, back in New York, an explosion had just occurred as the Trigolem was falling down.
"It worked! I can't believe that worked!" Old Bennett yelled out. "I mean…. I wouldn't have believed it if it didn't work!"
Leo was the first to get in front of the head of the Tri-Golem to make sure he could be seen.
"Zanramon, if you're watching this, consider this our message to you. Get off our planet. Or there'll be plenty more where that came from."
On the Triceraton homeworld, the screen for Zanramon, who was watching the feed from his throne goes dead a few seconds later.
He slams a fist on the right arm of the chair.
"If they want to face the might of the Triceraton Empire then so be it! We will take the Fugitoid! By force!"
"I highly doubt they're just going to go away with their tails tied between their legs. Not this quickly at least." Donnie said.
"If they know what's good for em, they better." Casey said.
"Casey, you're the last person that needs to be sayin' anything with how you were earlier." Raph said.
"I got no idea what you're talkin' about man."
"Sure you don't."
"Hey guys." Mikey started.
"Don't worry Mikey, we'll make sure to get you a pizza." Leo said. "Whatever you want. Heck, I think I could go for some too. With some soda to go along with it."
"That sounds awesome and all, but that's not what I was gonna say. I was gonna ask if anyone else is getting the feeling they're being watched?"
"Wait, did you say being watched?" Bennett asked as they were all about to return to the Time Nest.
"Can we please just go back?" Tangle asked, holding her tail.
"You and Bennett can go back. Axl and I should stay. Just for a minute at least. Better to be safe than sorry."
"If you're staying, we'll all stay." Tangle declared.
"You sure? We're fine. You're not going to be much-" Axl said before Tangle quickly cut him off.
"Much what? Help? Look, I'll be okay, alright? Besides, if were to go back, how will you two get back? Just give me one of your guns." She said before trying to reach for one of them.
"Hey, who said that we agreed on doing that?" He replied, trying to keep them away from her. Though she proved to be persistent, still reaching for them.
"It's not like I don't know how to use one, I'm not going to break it!" They inadvertently fell to the ground.
A blast suddenly came at them. The only thing that stopped the two from being hit was Cicini stepping in the way and using a personal shield to block it. A personal shield that was broken, causing her to be knocked to the ground.
"You okay?" April asked, with her nodding in response before beginning to get up. The culprit jumped to the ground. And it was someone the turtles, April and Casey recognized all too well. Though noticeably, his sash had a broken infinity symbol on it. The source of his attack was the blade in his hand.
TMNT 2003 Shredder Theme Plays
"You….." Leo said.
"Come on man! We're literally dealing with an alien invasion here! You can't give us a break!? Or at least work together?" Mikey said.
"It's the Shredder. You think he cares about anything other than himself?" Raph said to Mikey.
"You guys get out of here. We'll handle the Shredder!" Leo said to the Time Patrol.
"No way. We stayed here with the purpose of helping you." Axl said.
"Hey, that's cool with me. The more the merrier I'd say." Casey said before Shredder sent energy blasts from the sword at all of them, forcing all of them to dodge.
TMNT 2 Battle Nexus- Shredder Theme Plays
"Huh. I guess Shredder's not in too much of a talking mood today." Donnie said.
"The bigger thing is how the heck does he have that Sword of Tengu again? I thought that thing was gone!" Raph said.
"Who cares? He's got it! That's all that matters!" Mikey said as Shredder sent out sonic blasts at all of them before raising his sword in the air again. Seconds later, three dark purple versions of himself began to split off from him, with exact copies of the sword as well. Though in the cases of those versions, dark energy came from the swords.
Seeing this, Axl silently tossed Tangle and Bennett one of his weapons. The former getting a ray gun and the latter getting a plasma gun.
"He can copy himself now!?" Casey said.
"As if one Shredder wasn't enough." April said before firing at the copies. All of them either dodged or blocked the shots as they pursued them all.
"Alright Shredder clone, let's see what you got!" Mikey said, nunchucks in hand, alongside his brother Donnie.
It sent out an energy wave from its sword replica. A blast that was dodged easily before Donnie threw some of the smoke bombs he had created at it. When they jumped in to attack the vulnerable clone, they both hit nothing but air.
"What? Where'd he go?" Donnie asked before they were both grabbed from behind by their necks.
"I think we found him." Mikey said before they were both slammed to the ground.
A plasma blast from Bennett staggered him long enough for Mikey to trip him up as he got up. Donnie tried to slam his staff on his head, but the Shredder clone held him back with his blade.
Bennett began to continuously shoot him until he eventually relented enough for Donnie to disarm him. But he wasn't through yet. Using his own hands this time, he held back both Mikey and Donnie.
"Well, if there's one thing for sure, he's just as stingy as the original." Mikey said.
"And strong too." Donnie added before Bennett continued to shoot at him until he eventually fell to the ground for good and disappeared.
Both Mikey and Donnie breathed a sigh of relief. But they wouldn't have long to rest as Cicini was heard reeling after her shield was broken by another one of the Shredder clones, forcing both Donnie and Mikey to join in the fight, with Bennett joining back in the fight with Cicini.
As for Axl, even with him shooting pellets of ice from his Ice Gattling gun at his sword, the Shredder copy was unaffected, bowling the Maverick Hunter over before doing the same thing to Tangle. It then stepped on her tail before raising his sword. Knowing what he was planning to do, she gasped in horror before he was shot in the head by Axl with one of his normal pistols. Quickly taking out the second, he started to continuously fire at him as he got up.
The clone responded by sending three dark purple energy balls at him that quickly spread out. While he was able to jump over them, they inadvertently hit Raph, surrounding him in blue energy.
Landing back on the ground, both the Shredder clone and Axl were on a collision course, with the latter changing into a samurai-like Mechaniloid, the Mushadroyd. Yellow energy katana in hand, he dashed at Shredder, a blue barrier appearing in front of him before slicing at him. Axl was the first to turn around as he was unharmed. The clone, not so much as it disappeared in a cloud of darkness. He then held his sword up in the air for a couple of seconds before swinging it back down, sending a wave of energy at the final Shredder clone.
Raph, still feeling the effects of whatever the clone Shredder hit him with continued to fight the original Shredder alongside Leo but had his attack easily dodged before he was picked up by him with one of his gauntlets before being swung at Leo, knocking him away. He then began to create more 3 more clones of himself.
"More clones!? You couldn't have just let that be a one-time gimmick and be done?" Mikey asked before putting his attention on one of the new clones.
Even with making these clones, the original wasn't done with Raph yet. Keeping him in his grasp, he changed the grip on his sword to strike him right in his heart, but was distracted by the large array of laser blasts being rained down from above by Cicini. Even with this distraction, Raph's attempt to get free was unsuccessful. It took Casey whacking him in the back of the head with a block of wood for Raph to not get killed.
Though it only caused Shredder to turn around, put Raph down and pick up Casey by his neck.
"Okay…. I think I'd rather take on the giant robot now." Casey said, struggling for air as Shredder's hold on his neck wasn't getting any less stronger. Raph and Leo both tried to get a hold of Shredder's arms without touching the sword while April shot at him. But even with their combined strength, Shredder was able to overpower both Leo and Raph and send the former into April.
Seeing what was happening, Tangle, despite still having to suffer through pain from doing it, uses her tail to reach for Shredder's sword and arms at the same time.
"No don't!" Leo called out after realizing what she was about to reach for. But it was too late. The second she grabbed the sword, it shocked her. And because she refused to let go of it, her entire body, especially her tail was now in pain as she felt as if she was being burned and jolted at the same time.
Shredder attempted to pull it back, but Tangle refused to let go.
"Now! Get him….. now!" Tangle grunted out as it took everything in her to not yell out in pain and let go as she was literally being driven to tears from the pain. Shredder continued to try to pry it from her, with April also joining in by holding onto his arm. The struggle was enough for Casey to be able to try to push off him, but was still unable to really get out of his grip.
Leo, running at him, aimed directly for his chest area. But even with this, he was still trying to pull away from Tangle and April.
"What?" Leo said in disbelief before Tangle couldn't take it anymore and started to relent, which was all that he needed to pull Tangle's tail away, knee Leo to the ground and elbow April.
What no one expected was for a blade to go right across its head as it came off.
Music Stops
The body fell to the ground before the chest opened up. Before anything could come out of it, Axl returned back to normal and shot fire at it with his Flame Burner flamethrower for several seconds. But even with the constant stream of flames, the armor was still preserved. "There's not much that's going to destroy that armor I'm afraid. Separate it maybe, but destroy it?" Donnie said.
The turtles looked inside and saw the Shredder's true form, unconscious and shriveled up from the intense heat.
"What…. Is that!?" Tangle and Bennett said, horrified.
"If I had to guess, it's his brain." Old Bennett said.
"Actually, that's the Shredder. He's an Utrom." Donnie said.
"Or that too."
"Yeah, and he's also toast." Raph said.
"Which means we're free to go back. For real this time." Young Bennett said.
"Hold on." Axl said before shooting flames at the Utrom again for a few more seconds before he was burned, to the shock of Casey, April, the Turtles and everyone else.
"Jeez. He was already dead. Was that really necessary?" April asked.
"Considering how many times he's come back, I don't exactly blame him for doin' that." Raph said.
"Yeah. Better to be safe than sorry." Axl said.
"Well, I think Axl put the exclamation mark on this one for you guys. Come on back everyone." Chronoa said to them.
"Thank you. We really appreciate the help." Leo said.
"No problem!" Cicini replied before they teleported back to the Time Nest seconds later.
"Time Patrol huh? Wonder if we'll see those guys again." Mikey said.
"Unless it's for a meet and greet, I hope not. If a time police force was involved, then there definitely was something wrong here. And something tells me it involved both the guys we just fought." April said.
"Well, hopefully everything goes back to normal soon. Maybe with them fixing all of this, we'll be back at the lair, eating pizza as if all this never happened." Leo said.
"I hope so too Leo. I wouldn't mind that at all." Mikey said.
"We know you wouldn't. But hey, I'm definitely in that boat too." Donnie said.
Back at the Time Vault, Axl closed the scroll before they could see the rest of what was going to happen.
"Good job you four." Chronoa said.
"And as a bonus, one of Towa's warriors are down for the count as well." Trunks said.
"Though I wonder, with him dying here, does that affect the timeline where he's from?" Old Bennett asked.
"Probably not. Since he didn't belong to that point of history, his death wouldn't affect anything. The same way fighting Mira and Towa wouldn't. Or Cooler the times he was encountered. Or when Broly was in the point of history that Goku and Vegeta were fighting before Majin Buu's revival." Chronoa explained.
"You should definitely sit the rest of this one out." Axl said to Tangle.
"Yeah. As I much as I hate to admit it, you're right." She replied before both of them worriedly looked at Tangle's tail, which had several burn marks on it.
"Same goes for us too. No suit, no go." Young Bennett said.
"I'll have to stay behind to help him get started with making another one. Sorry." Cicini said.
"So I guess I'm going to have to run solo huh?" Axl said.
"Actually, you won't have to. While I can't fix Bennett's suit, I can heal the burns on Tangle's tail." Chronoa said.
"Wait, really?" Tangle asked, surprised.
"Yep! My magic accounts for healing too. Although the speed varies on how much I have to heal. So you'll still have to stay behind while I do this."
"I'll just stay behind. I don't mind waiting." Axl said.
"This suit's going to take a minute though. I don't know if we'll be able to-" Young Bennett started to tell him before Old Bennett corrected him.
"I think he was talking about Tangle." Old Bennett said.
"Yeah, I was. Sorry, but I'm not willing to wait that long." Axl said.
"Understandable. We'll try to get back into the action as soon as possible though." Cicini said.
"Okay. Come on over to the bench so we can get started." Chronoa said to Tangle.
*Confessional*
Axl(Radical Rats):
"While I'm cool with running solo, it's actually a lot more fun doing this as a team. Tangle being one of those that especially makes it more fun. But, there's also the case of me wanting to make sure I have someone watching my back in case something goes wrong. If Shredder showed up here, who knows what's waiting for us in the other places we visit. And if I go in alone, there's no one there to help me if I get in trouble."
*End Confessional*
Several contestants returned to grab more scrolls as she continued to heal Tangle, something that Whisper immediately noticed and ran to her.
"Are you alright? What happened?" She asked her.
"Just a little battle damage that's all." Tangle replied nonchalantly.
"That seems like more than just a little."
"Trust me, I'll be fine. The Supreme Kai of Time says she'll be able to patch me up with her magic."
Whisper looks at the Supreme Kai of Time, who was silent as she tried to concentrate on Tangle's tail.
"Enough about me. How are you guys doing so far in your adventures?" Tangle asked Whisper.
"We're fixing them. That's the most important thing." Whisper replied.
"Guess we're not going to get any specifics out of you huh?" Axl said to her.
Whisper looked back at Blaze and Zero, who were already looking at the events of the next scroll.
"Maybe when this is all over." She replied before quickly joining back with her other two partners.
"Hey Chris, who's winning?" Axl asked him.
"I've gotten the teams to put their scrolls in different tables just so I won't get them mixed up. So far, it looks like the Breakers are winning with 9 events completed. The Rats are behind them with 8, while the Kings have 7 done." Supreme Kai of Time answered.
"What she said. All of that will of course be reflected on the scoreboard!" Chris said as the scores for each team were seen. "Now, let's get back to the action and see exactly what our stoic trio is up to!"
The camera focuses on their particular scroll, which had them in New York City.

"Oh boy, looks like we're in for it now." Donatello remarked as he and his four brothers had numerous upgraded Foot Clan robots in front of them. Suddenly, Blaze, Whisper and Zero had all appeared in a flash of white light, gears also being seen in the teleportation effects.
"Don't worry, we're here to help." Zero said before pulling out his Z-Saber.
"Pretty reassuring from the three that just came out of nowhere. Right guys?" Raphael said to his brothers sarcastically.
The three were able to quickly make quick work of all the Foot Ninjas, turning them into scrap, despite their upgrades.
"Well, I'm convinced." Michelangelo said, shrugging.
"So am I. So, what's your names strangers?" Leonardo asked them. All three of them told the four their names. "Alright, let's kick shell everyone!"
"GO GREEN MACHINE!" All four turtles exclaimed simultaneously as they charged into battle.
"Odd. Bennett, Tangle, Axl and Cicini had a lot of trouble dealing with the enemies in that world with the four turtles in it. Yet in this case, they don't seem to be having too much trouble dealing with the enemies here." Trunks commented, hand on his chin. "I guess these three are just that much stronger."
"I wouldn't say that. They've had experience with dealing with enemies in this world before. I don't think it's a complete cakewalk. It's just that compared to the other universes, this one is probably the weakest. At least on face value." Chris said to him.
"Really? I see. Thanks for the explanation."
"Although, the fact that it is these three of all people in here definitely helps too. Compared to most of the others on their team, they're probably the least likely to mess around in getting rid of any enemies, for one reason or another." Chris added.
Along with Foot Ninjas, multiple thugs were seen. While they weren't the same ones that Adrien and the others with him had seen, these were under the dark influence of Towa, which seemed to help them deal with the Foot Ninjas better as they were taking them out along with the turtles and the time traveling trio.
"Well, if there's one thing for sure, Shredder didn't hire these goons." Leonardo said.
"Doesn't matter where they came from. All that matters is where they're going. And that's away from here!" Zero said.
Whisper used her cube wispon and swung her hammer, hitting one of the women and knocking her into another that was wearing similar clothing, the only difference being the former's clothing being blue and the latter's being green. The hammer was what she would seemingly stick with for the most part while in the studio.
Unicycle-like robots called Roadkill Rodneys began to roll in. One of them grabbed one of the trenchcoat-wearing gang members with an electric lasso, shocking him until he went unconscious. More Foot Ninjas joined them seconds later along with a few mousers.
"Man, Shredder's really pulling out all the stops isn't he?" Michelangelo commented as he ducked a punch from a Foot Ninja who was so committed to it, he was off balance for a bit. Michelangelo took the opening and hit it with an uppercut, causing it to crash into a camera.
"Guess he's really trying to get this one done. Too bad it's gonna work out like pretty much all his other plans." Raphael remarked as he and Zero cut through the wires of another Roadkill Rodney. "Just watch all the other episodes. You'll know what I'm talking about."
One of the female gang members suddenly had their hair pulled from behind before being hit in the head by a microphone hard, knocking them out.
A foot soldier was knocked off his feet by the same person sliding under them before having their head smashed in by a camera.
"April!" The four turtles exclaimed, happy to see the Channel 6 reporter.
"We thought you skipped town!" Donatello said.
"Or that the Foot got you too." Michelangelo said.
"No way Jose. Things are gonna be a little bit different this time around." April said as she swung another microphone being held up on a stand at the side of a Foot Ninja, knocking it down and allowing Zero to finish it before she started going the opposite direction of the turtles to an elevator. "I'm gonna go find Vernon. Good luck!"
"You think she's gonna be able to handle herself?" Donatello asked.
"Well, clearly she was able to before she got to us, so I don't see why not." Leonardo said as April was seen swinging around a camera and hitting several Foot Ninjas with it before doing a split kick on two gang members, with one being on each side of her.
"If there's one thing for sure, she's definitely gonna need more reporting equipment after this. Unless it's not her equipment she's using." Raphael commented.
The seven continued to make their way through the studio.
Multiple mousers began to bite at Blaze, causing her to try to shake them off. Deciding not to waste any more time, she spins, encasing herself in flames as she did, burning the mousers. The mousers tried the same thing with Zero, but wasn't as successful, as they weren't able to sink their teeth into his armor, allowing him to shake them off easily and destroy them with uncharged Z-Buster shots.
"Yeah. They may be small, but those things are definitely a bodacious pain in the arse." Michelangelo remarked.
Eventually, after getting through the troves of enemies, they found April webbed up along with Vernon tied up as well. Bebop was also in the same situation as April, also webbed up on the opposite end of April.
There were two figures that weren't free however. One that looked like a mutated Spider-Man clone as seen by its six arms and razer sharp teeth in its monstrous mouth. Alongside him was a woman with black hair, high-heeled boots and wore a black and white suit, with skin that matched the white in her suit.
"Well guys, I found Vernon and Bebop. So that is some good news." April said to the seven.
"And I'm guessing those two over there are the bad news." Raphael said.
"Who put you up to this? Shredder?" Leonardo said to the pair.
"We put ourselves up to this." The woman said. "Just like I put myself up to doing this!" Her left eye shined yellow as she wickedly grinned. Zero and Blaze were the first ones to instinctively look away, while April and every turtle but Donatello did the same. The former pair were preparing to hit her even with their eyes closed as Zero began to charge a buster shot. Though all of them except Zero began to cover their heads, seemingly in pain.
"Fools. Closing your eyes isn't going to do anything." She said low before Zero blasted her in the chest with a charged shot. When she got up, she was surprised as everyone that was affected, began to recover.
"I don't know what you were trying to do, but you can forget about trying that again." Zero said to her as his eyes were back open.
"I see. So that won't work against you. I'm not sure why it didn't but, I guess we'll have to do this the old-fashioned way." She said before her eyes began to glow red.

The Spider-Man mutant's eyes also began to glow red as it began to growl at them before it started to run on all fours and attack them like a dog.
"Sheesh. What the heck did they do to Spidey?" Chris commented.
As it began to attack the seven, the woman shot yellow-orange sonic blasts from her hands at them.
"You couldn't have just gotten I don't know, a normal dog!?" Raphael said as he was trying to avoid getting his head bit off by holding it back with his hands. But this didn't seem to be working in the slightest as it continued to get closer to his head.
Changing modes, Whisper shot at it with a laser.
The mutant responded in kind by shooting webs at her from four of his arms. Fortunately for her, she was able to dodge them all.
Despite being outnumbered, Shriek and her mutant companion/pet made it extremely difficult for the seven. And things were about to be even more difficult with the masked peacock joining the fight.
"What is up with you and the weird pets, lady?" Raphael said to her as the peacock threw knives at them before getting into close combat with them immediately after. It used a plethora of quick and acrobatic attacks to keep all of them at bay, making sure not a single movement was wasted.
Donatello used an upward sweep motion with his staff but the masked warrior sidestepped it and sent him into a wall with a palmed strike.
Leonardo and Zero attempted to trap it with synchronized sword strikes on each side but they only ended up getting close to hitting each other.
"Watch it!" Zero said to him.
"Me? I think you should watch yourself." Leonardo replied.
The two were suddenly webbed up, the webs restricting their hands and preventing them from using their weapons.
Blaze was in a projectile battle with Shriek, sonic blasts against fire.
"Once we finish up here, I think I'll give your friends Marine and Cream a visit. Maybe she'll be more receptive to me unlocking her wild side." Shriek said to her.
Blaze's expression suddenly changed as she sent a stream of fire at her instead of the normal fireballs she threw. Shriek was able to jump high over this and sent a blast downwards, forcing Blaze to quickly move.
"Hey! Don't lose your cool cat girl! We gotta save this place! Not burn it down!" Michelangelo said to her.
Noting this, Blaze runs at her to fight her directly, only to have her path blocked by the Spider-Mutant, who hit the ground a couple of times before attempting to pounce on her. Blaze attempted to knock it out the way. It grabbed her leg with one of his arms before growling and then opening its mouth, spit seen coming from the top to the bottom. Which was all the opening Blaze needed to send fire in his mouth, causing him to roar out in pain from the burning. Blaze followed this up by kicking him out the window.
"Next time grab both arms." Blaze remarked before focusing her attention on Shriek and the peacock, both of whom were overwhelming the turtles.
"Why the heck does this peacock know martial arts?" Mikey said on the gorund.
"Why do we know any? Or Splinter? The answer is don't ask." Raphael said, looking at the audience on the last line.
"Well we need to be asking how we're going to beat them, 'cause they're definitely kicking our shells right now. And our ninja stars don't seem to be sharp enough to cut through these webs." Donatello said, before Shriek was knocked through a wall by Whisper using her hammer mode on her Wispon.
The peacock seemed to be the last one standing out of the villainous trio. But it didn't deter it in the slightest it seemed(at least from what it was doing as it was masked).
Even with their teamwork, it was able to easily beat the three turtles and threw talons at their heads as they were down. Luckily for them, Blaze was able to intercept before Whisper got right in front of her and hit him with a mighty swing from her hammer, sending him crashing into one of the broken TVs on the ground. The wolf refused to let up and immediately pursued him, with the peacock covering a large portion of his face as most of its mask had been broken off.
"It's over." Whispher said before she fired at him to finish him off. But all she hit was air as he teleported out.
She closed her eyes. While she was glad the battle was done with, she wasn't happy the peacock had gotten away.
Using Zero's Z-Saber, Blaze cut everyone free of the webs.
"You alright?" She asked Zero and the others as she cut them free. Everyone but Bebop that is.
"I'll feel completely better after you give my sword back." Zero said to her.
"Of course." Blaze said before obliging his request.
"Wowzers. That was crazy." Michelangelo said.
"You can open your eyes now Vernon." April said.
"Nope! Not until this is over!" Vernon replied.
This only caused April to shake her head and slightly roll her eyes.
"Thanks. We really appreciated the help." Leonardo said to them.
"Hey wait a second, isn't this the part where you guys are supposed to magically be gone before we notice?" Raphael added.
"Well, I mean they're right here. How are they going to-" Donatello started before they actually were gone seconds later. "Oh."
Angel Island Zone(Sonic 3 Video Game)
Sonic 3 Soundtrack- Angel Island Zone Act 2 Plays
Din, Jotaro, Blake, Mayuzumi, Octavia and Maki were all in said area with Sonic, going through a tunnel. Unsurprisingly, Sonic was outrunning(or out-rolling in his case) all of them. Though he was considerable enough to at least slow down enough for them to be able follow along.
After coming out of the tunnel, they were all submerged in water. It seemed to have been a dead end ahead, but there was a spring they could jump up to. What they found higher up was an area that had a switch that could be stood on. Once it was stepped on by Sonic, all of the water was drained out of the area and the wall below them was destroyed, allowing them to go through.
A Caterkiller Jr. Badnik was seen above them. While Sonic was too low to be able to hit, that wasn't the case for Din, who shot it, destroying it and freeing the animal inside.
They continued their ascent, crossing a bridge that required them to go fast enough to avoid falling as each part would gradually turn. In the case of Sonic, he was fast enough to go through it, while Octavia and Din could fly over. Maki was strong enough to be able to carry Mayuzumi and jump over to the other side. Jotaro, while nowhere near as fast as Sonic, was able to cross, jumping at the last second to avoid falling.
Sonic gestured for them to come on and follow him before running again.
He jumped up multiple times before getting to the top of a tree, now waiting again on the others to catch up. Once they made their way upwards, Sonic started to rapidly move his legs in a circular pattern while standing still to gain speed. After a couple of seconds, he took off running at an incredible speed, passing through the loops in less than 3 seconds before running up the ramp and getting to the other side of the large gap in between the ramp and the next part of the ground.
None of them needed to say a word as they were already used to it when they initially entered, including this Sonic's silent demeanor.
Once all of them got to where Sonic was, the only way forward now was up via the yellow spring.
The Badniks faced, while they were effected by Towa's magic, were nothing too hard for the six time travelers to take out.
None of them wanted to say it out loud, but it was hard to not notice that this was probably the easiest they've had it so far.
They ran through another tunnel, with Sonic shooting from out of it like a cannon. Once all of them got back to solid ground, it looked to have been nothing but solid land ahead.
A few seconds in of them running, a Flying Battery blimp was seen. It attempted to try to try to drop bombs on them, forcing all seven to have to outrun it to avoid getting hit by any of the bombs. Thankfully, the blimp seemed to have been damaged thanks to the intervention of someone else, forcing the blimp to retreat.
Though when they turned to see who their savior was, the three turned out to not be saviors at all. Three flying robots were seen with one that they knew all too well, Starscream. The others accompanying him being fellow Seekers Thundercracker and Skywarp, all being surrounded by dark aura. Starscream pointed at the seven before he and the others transformed into jets.
Sonic didn't know them very well, but he could tell from how they looked and how the others reacted that these three were not friendly and started to run.

"It's Starscream again!" Trunks said.
"I seriously hope this doesn't become a normal occurrence. But, considering how many timelines and universes are out there, there's always that possibility." Supreme Kai of Time said.
"Normal occurrence or not, he and his friends are leaving here one way or the other." Maki said as the three shot at them with blaster cannon shots and missiles in jet mode. Din, Blake, Mayuzumi and Octavia were the only ones equipped to deal with him at range as they were all on the run.
Now it was just a matter of who could hit who and neither side were making it easy. But it was Starscream, unsurprisingly, that got impatient and charged at them to hit them with a direct attack, which didn't work as it was easily dodged, allowing everyone to get easy hits on him, causing him to stumble out of his jet form, and roll along the ground.
But he wasn't one to give up. Getting back up, he got to a running start before transforming and catching back up with the others. Once he did, he transformed back into his robot form while airborne and threw out a volley of spread missiles infused with darkness. Jotaro was caught in the explosion and forced to block it with his Stand, which caused him and Star Platinum to be surrounded in a purple aura.
"Jotaro, you still with us?" Blake asked him.
"Yeah. Whatever that was he hit me with isn't capable of forcing me to turn against any of you. But what exactly it did do, I'm not sure yet." He replied before Starscream had suddenly gotten in his face to deliver a punch, one that Jotaro beat him to. Even though it connected, it didn't feel the same and he knew it.
Thankfully though, the others were able to help him out, with Blake even using Starscream as a stepping stone to get to Thundercracker and Skywarp, who tried to move out of the way but couldn't because of the others attacking them.
The persistence of the seven only frustrated Starscream. And that frustration led to anger. Which led to impatience. Which led to mistakes and which ultimately led to his and the rest of the Seekers' downfall. A grav charge was placed on Starscream's back by Din. The explosion caused him to be knocked into Thundercracker and Skywarp off the island, falling down below and marking their end as a forest was just ahead.
Music Stops
"Looks like that's the end of them." Supreme Kai of Time said.
"If there's one thing for sure, that power-up doesn't exactly seem to make them any smarter." Maki said before a noise was heard in the distance. That noise being Robotnik and the aircraft he was in.
Once they made their way through the short forest, they crossed a bridge. After they crossed it, Robotnik came through the waterfall, piloting the Egg Scorcher Mark III, a modified Egg Mobile with bulky armor and fireball cannons. Robotnik immediately burned the bridge with said cannons, blocking any means for Sonic and company to escape. But it also left him open to several hits, only aggravating the doctor as Sonic, in ball form, began to hit him numerous times.
A wormhole had appeared next to Robotnik, whose vehicle was beginning to shut down on him from all the hits from Sonic. And out of it came an eagle with a white and gray cockpit, body and legs, while having green wings and feet. Inside was another Robotnik, leaving Sonic confused.
"That wormhole is from Towa! Do whatever you have to to send what came out of it back!" Trunks said.
The Robotnik inside was just as confused as Sonic. First, he was fighting his nemesis, now he's here. Though the second he saw Sonic and the broken down Robotnik here retreating, he immediately started to attack Sonic and the others with energy missiles.
Sonic Rush – Metal Scratchin' Genesis Remix Plays (A/N: The Remixes from either LegendofRenegade or meepmeep189 on Youtube work. Whichever you prefer)
"So we send him back, then what? How do we close it? There's nothing exactly stopping him from coming back through it." Mayuzumi asked as they ran around the area they were in to dodge the missiles.
The alternate Robotnik then jumped onto the arena with the eagle in an attempt to crush them. Seeing the opening, Sonic jumped onto the area where the cockpit was, which was the head, slightly damaging it and forcing Robotnik to retreat to avoid getting hit in the head again, going behind the waterfall and shooting more missiles at them from a distance.
"Good question. One that has easy solutions. The first is going through the wormhole yourself to make sure that whatever comes through stays down. The second is to just destroy it. Preferably after sending whatever came through back through it as that's less work that I have to do when it comes to fixing events with the scrolls. I know that second one sounds too good to be true, but it's been proven that it can be done, unlike when Demigra's wormholes existed. My guess is that it's because Towa's wormholes are weaker than his." Supreme Kai of Time answered.
"In fact, don't even worry about the wormhole for now. Just take care of him. Once that's done, I'll come in and destroy it." Trunks said.
"Take this!" Robotnik said as he quickly flew in at the ground, shaking it and causing everyone to be knocked off their feet before he attempted to do a pecking-like attack at Sonic, an attack that was denied by Jotaro via Star Platinum's Star Finger.
"You….!" Robotnik said, annoyed before being forced to fly away and get some distance before shooting at them again with energy missiles.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much about this but, couldn't she just open another one?" Blake asked.
"If she did, it would be a waste of time and energy. We'd just send them back again. I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure doing something that would affect space and time takes a lot of energy." Octavia said as Robotnik flew in for another attack, this one they were ready for, all of them attacking his head and forcing him to retreat to the skies again.
"I was moreso talking about opening up one to somewhere else but, I still can see what you're saying."
"Get ready to be schooled!" Robotnik said, returning back to the ground, but this time, using the propellors on the eagle as fans, blowing a strong gust of wind the seven's way in an attempt to blow them all off the ledge.
Even with Din's flight, the wind was too strong. And it was all thanks to Towa's magic affecting the Egg Eagle.
Blake was forced to put her Gambol Shroud into the ground just to stop from being blown off, but even then it wasn't enough.
It seemed as if Sonic was the only one that could fight through the gust of wind, and even then, it wasn't as easy as he was making it seem at the moment.
Just as he was jumping to attack the eagle's head, someone came from above, surrounded by fire and did the same thing.
Sonic Rush Soundtrack- Blaze Appears/Leaf Storm Beta Theme Genesis Remix Plays
The figure jumped down beside Sonic and the others.
"It's Blaze!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Yes?" The current Blaze asked, in the Time Nest after completing a rather short event involving Spongebob and the Chum Bucket.
"Not you. Sorry." Trunks said before turning his attention back towards the event.
"Blaze. So glad you could join us." Robotnik said.
"Don't worry, I'll get Nega off your hands." Blaze said to the seven.
"Who?" Blake said, confused.
"Don't get so confident, cat!" The doctor said to her, revealing that it was him Blaze was referring to. "I'll blow you away!" He prepared to blow wind at them at again to try to send all of them off, only to have his glass be broken by Jotaro and Star Platinum.
Octavia blasted the body of the eagle, causing him to stumble.
"A slight miscalculation. I didn't anticipate you to have hel-" Nega started before the head was blown off by Octavia, Din and Mayuzumi, with Blaze, Sonic and Star Platinum sending him back into the portal as he was heard yelling, "CURSE YOUU-"
Trunks had appeared a couple of seconds later. "Go through the wormhole! Hurry!" He said to Blaze, who nodded and used her fire powers as thrusters to thrust herself upwards back into the wormhole.
Trunks then promptly sent a strong ki blast at the portal, destroying it.
Music Stops
"All right, that's it! Job well done you all! Let's head back to the Time Nest!" Trunks said to the six.
Trunks and the six began to teleport out of the area.
"See ya!" Maki said, giving a two-fingered salute to Sonic, who waved at them goodbye, smiling.
Sigma's Fortress(Mega Man X)(Alternate Timeline)(A/N: This timeline is based off the bonus Playable Vile Mode in the PSP remake of the first X Game)
Vile, and the time traveling group that were "helping" him, Urien, Chef, Shiro, Fiona and Noelle, had made their way to the final area. Helping in quotations as Vile had initially refused it, but eventually allowed them to "follow along" and watch him show off his might to be witnesses for Sigma.
"This fortress seems endless. At this point, I just want it to be over." Fiona said.
"If you're too weak to keep moving than you can run away and leave. No one's stopping you." Vile said to her as he jumped in the air and threw down a bomb to get past a shielded soldier.
"Wanting something to be over with doesn't mean I'm weak, jerk! It's not like I have a choice in the matter anyway."
"Then what's even the point of complaining then? You're just overblowing things again." Shiro said before a blast was shot at them from behind. One that was blocked by Urien via an Aegis Reflector, reflecting the shot back at the source. That source being….. X? Though his armor was different compared to before.
"Stop right there Vile!" X said. With him was Zero, who also had slightly different armor compared to the armor they were used to seeing Zero with as well.
"X? Zero?" Noelle said, confused.
"Remember that this is the past kid. So this gotta be earlier versions of 'em." Chef said.
"Consider that a warning. A warning that I'm not going to be nice enough give unlike X. You've really caused a lot of havoc, Vile." Zero said to him.
"Yeah, so? I was just taking care of a few loose ends." Vile replied.
"You took out those Maverick Commanders. Why?" X asked.
"Because I wanted to that's why."
"Give me a break. We both that's not the real answer." Zero said, not one bit convinced. "What's you and Sigma's endgame?"
"Sigma?" Vile laughed a bit. "I've got nothing to do with him."
"So you're not working with the Mavericks?" X asked, surprised.
"I don't have or need friends."
"So those guys that are with you. They must be your prisoners then."
"If you're not here to help us, move out of our way." Urien said to them.
"Not gonna happen." Zero said.
"One way or another, you need to be stopped Vile!" X said, dark energy beginning to surround him and Zero.
"Stop me? HA! Good luck with that one. If you really want to know something X, then know this: You are my enemy!" Vile said before preparing to fire his weaponry at them.
"Then so be it. We have no choice!" X said, his eyes now fully red. The same applied to Zero as well.
"Looks like we're going to have to put both of them down to get through. I hope this doesn't affect anything with our X and Zero." Noelle said.
"Hmm, as long as you don't kill them they should be fine. But, I'll do a bit of digging with this just to check." Supreme Kai of Time said.
"If you're really as strong as you claim to be, then how come you need the help of them just to beat us?" Zero said to Vile, shooting a buster shot and then performing a flaming dive kick. Interestingly enough, he seemed to not have a Z-Saber either.
"You say this as if I made them come along. I didn't!" Vile said, shooting a laser from his cannon upwards to try to stop him, forcing Zero to change his trajectory while he charged a buster shot, firing at Urien, only for it to get reflected back at him.
"It looks as if you've come a long way from this point. Because this is pure child's play." Urien said.
"And you got that from getting one hit off me. I'll make sure that changes quick." Zero said.
"Who are you!? Why are working with Vile!?" X said to Noelle in a more aggressive tone than what usually comes from the Maverick Hunter, even when pushed by those like Sigma.
"We're not working with him."
"I mean technically, we kinda are." Chef said, crouching and firing his own charged arm cannon shot from the yellow-green and white suit he was wearing.
"You're not helping!" She then turns her attention back to X, using a water-based shield to block the Homing Missiles he acquired from Launch Octopus. "Look, it's complicated. I just wish it didn't have to end up with us having to fight you."
"Working with someone like Vile isn't complicated. You're on the wrong side of this. It's just that simple! And we're going to put you down, one way or another. Even if it has to be permanently!" X fires a supercharged shot, enhanced by the extra surge of power granted from Towa's dark magic, breaking through Noelle's barrier, causing her to be sent reeling.
"Take this!" Zero said before slamming the ground and sending multiple energy shots upwards, knocking Urien off his feet, who wasn't expecting it. The same with Vile.
"Now it ends Vile!" Zero and X said, aiming for his head until they were knocked out of the way by Fiona and Shiro via Infinite Leopatra and Lightning Wolver respectively.
"You may not want to fight them but let's face it, they're not in a position to be reasoned with right now." Shiro said to Noelle.
"Reason with? I'm not going to 'reason' with them. I'm going to destroy them!" Vile declared.
"Not if we do it first!" X said before creating a Rolling Buster shield around himself to block projectiles.
"That poor excuse for a shield isn't going to stop me!" Vile said to him before using a strong rocket punch to punch through the shield. Though it wasn't as effective as he expected as he ran right through it unaffected. "What?"
He was blasted right in the face and was knocked down before X kept him pinned to the ground.
"You chose your side Vile. Unfortunately, it had to be the wrong one." X said to him.
"You still think I'm working with Sigma? Are you having trouble hearing or are you just stupid?"
"I don't care who you're working for. What you're doing has no regard for the destruction you're causing!" X tried a hammer-fisted smash but Vile held him back with one of his hands long enough to shoot him off with a charged blast from his shoulder cannon.
"Cry me a river X!"
"So you're not a Maverick or a Maverick Hunter. What are you then? You get to Sigma, then what? You take over as leader of the Mavericks?" Zero asked Vile as he and X, side by side, performed a combined charge shot that went multiple directions and tracked as well, forcing everyone to have to take evasive action. Everyone except Urien. The combined dark blast broke through Urien's Aegis Reflector, to his shock.
"You think I'd just tell you that because you nicely asked? What part of 'you're my enemy' do you not understand!?" Vile replied before he sent out a bomb from his leg that sent a blue napalm across the ground, leaving a path of fire for a short time and forcing X, Zero and even Vile's own "allies" to jump. But for Vile, creating an opening against X and Zero was all he cared about. Which didn't work out as X sent him in the air via a vertical Storm Tornado from Storm Eagle and was immediately sent back down with a kick from Zero.
"What the heck are you doing? That could have hit us!" Fiona said to Vile.
"I mean, he never did say that he wanted our help." Chef said as he fired at the two Maverick Hunters.
"Again, you're not helping."
"I'm just sayin'."
"Hey, you two." Shiro said, trying to get Noelle and Fiona's attention. "I've got an idea."
Urien and Zero were on a collision course with one another, the former leaning in with his shoulder. But the latter jumped at the last second over Urien and hitting him with a charged shot downwards.
"Like I said, you underestimated me way too early when you have no idea exactly who I am." Zero said.
A dragon made of ice and fizzling with lightning had suddenly pierced through both X and Zero, to the shock and/or surprise of several people, including Trunks and the Supreme Kai of Time. Both X and Zero fell to the ground, with the former's Light armor disappearing from his body.
"What did you guys do!? You weren't supposed to kill them!" Supreme Kai of Time said.
"Tch, I wanted to finish them myself. But, seeing them like that….." Vile said as he looked at X and Zero. "I think I'll take what I can get."
"No….. I'm not…. giving u-" X started before Vile blasted him. Noticeably, neither him nor Zero had any sign of dark energy surrounding them.
"That dark energy. I think it's gone! We did it!" Chef said as Vile mercilessly did this to both him and Zero over and over again. Their armor was heavily damaged, especially Zero's as unlike X, he didn't have any additional armor to take extra punishment.
"Uh, I think we should…." Chef added, pointing to the scroll in Shiro's hand, realizing how awkward it was for them to still be in the area while that was happening.
"If you want to leave, go ahead. I don't care." Vile said as he was casually punching Zero in the chest before discarding him just as casually.
"Believe it or not, this is exactly what's supposed to happen here. Come back to the Time Vault." Supreme Kai of Time said to them.
Once they left, Vile turned his attention back to X, who was trying his hardest to stand, but just couldn't. He and Zero were fizzling with electricity from their bodies.
"X….. I'll admit, you have grown stronger. But, you'll hardly be able to change the world if you're dead!" Vile said before kicking him in the head across the ground, the Maverick Hunter's pupils no longer being shown in his eyes. "What's the matter, X? Aren't you gonna show me your true power?" He taunted before kicking him again before putting his foot on his head before stomping on it multiple times.
When X had no response, Vile kicked him again.
"Wimp to the very end, huh? End of the line X." Vile began to aim his cannon at him before he suddenly felt someone pulling at his leg. He turned and realized that it was Zero.
"Change the world? Sounds like Maverick talk to me!" Zero said.
"What? Let go!" Vile said, trying to get him off.
"X, shoot now!"
Vile turned and suddenly saw X standing, charging a buster shot.
"Not a charged shot!"
A few seconds later, Vile was blasted in the chest and was heard yelling.
Time Vault
Back at the Time Vault, everyone that was just there watched these events transpire.
"Serves him right." Fiona commented.
"I don't think it's wrong for me to say that I don't feel sorry for him at all. X on the other hand…" Noelle added.
"Like I've said, not all history is good history. But I don't think this was the case here with how this turned out." Supreme Kai of Time said. "Also, from what I've found, Zero is actually supposed to have sacrificed himself to stop Vile and X goes on to beat him and Sigma. This wasn't the case here. Just like the Trunks that went against Cooler and Mecha Frieza, this is an alternate timeline. Pretty close to the original, but not completely the same."
"Just makes you wonder exactly how many alternate universes of ourselves and timelines are out there." Fiona said.
"Like one where I run the show and Chris is my co-host and chef." Chef said.
"Honestly, I'm actually kinda intrigued about that one." Chris said.
"Just know that there's a lot." Yulaw said as he, Hiruma and Rick had returned from another piece of history, the event being Cassie Cage from Mortal Kombat fighting Corrupted Shinnok.
"Yeah. Like one where Hitler actually found the cure for cancer. Or one where Huey, Marinette or Falcon are the ones that win the whole thing instead of Luz. That last one is completely theoretical but still. It's best you not think about it that heavy. Unless you want your mind to explode." Rick said.
"You'll be able to think about that after we get all of this done." Supreme Kai of Time said.
"How exactly are we lookin' in terms of events done anyway?" Chris asked her.
"In terms of progress, pretty good. But, we still have a ways to go before we're done. You can chalk up some of the progress to some of the fixes just being minor ones. Or worlds that don't exactly pose too much of a threat in terms of power."
Rats: 17
Breakers: 15
Kings: 14
"Cool. Let's check out some other ones shall we?" Chris said.
*Confessional*
Fiona(Wave Breakers):
"I know Ryu has made his appearance on here so you've got a good idea of what he's like, but…. seeing these alternate timelines and actually being involved in them makes me wonder…. Is there a timeline where he actually….. wins? I hope not. Now I see why Rick said it was best to not think about it so much."

A masked warrior wearing a white cloak, sandals and light colored pants was seen. Though the hood was not covering his head, meaning long blond hair was also visible. In his left hand was a Namekian Time Patroller. And in his right was the same energy draining device his other masked companions had.
"And just what am I supposed to do with him?" Towa said to them, referring to the Time Patroller in his hands. From her tone, there was no hiding that she was annoyed as she had just finished replacing the peacock's mask. Because of the heavy amount of damage done to it, it was too much to try to repair. So instead, she decided to just replace it entirely.
The cloak masked warrior simply dropped the Time Patroller to the ground. Though in this unlucky rookie's case, he wasn't going to be getting up any time soon.
"It seems the warriors you've chosen aren't getting the job done." Mira said, laying on a table.
"A few hiccups and snags and you already think I'm getting worried? I'm annoyed. Not worried. There's a difference." She takes a look at some of the changes in history that were being corrected via a modified Scroll of Eternity. Modifications that she made herself after getting Mira to steal a Scroll of Eternity for her. And those that she saw changing them were not the usual suspects. It was always Earthlings, Saiyans, Namekians, Majins and those of Frieza's race always fixing these issues. But this wasn't the case for what she was seeing. In some of their cases anyway.
"Although, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued." She added as she watched Paul's Pokemon battling Phalanx clones of the X-Men in the alien Phalanx race's clone factory. Specifically Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Gambit and Wolverine. Battling Psylocke and Beast was Reimu, Eliza and Sebastian. Unlike the originals, their entire appearance was golden, from their skin to even their clothes and weapons. Fighting alongside Paul and the others were the originals and Magneto.
She closed the scroll, with Towa preparing to leave, taking off her lab coat and putting it on a chair.
"Where are you going?" Mira asked her.
"Don't worry. I'll be right back. This won't take long." Towa said, a confident smile on her face before she left.
Pagoda of the Misty Moon, Walter's Castle(Castlevania: Lament of Innocence)
Castlevania Lament of Innocence Soundtrack – Leon's Theme Plays
Natsu, Lucy and Mamori, along with Leon Belmont were traversing through a castle. Their objective: Make it to the top to Walter Bernhardt's throne room. They had already faced a myriad of enemies, including doppelganger versions of themselves. Ones that even had their own version of Happy as well. Though interestingly, the Lucy doppelganger could not use celestial spirits like the original. Instead, she used the power of each spirit herself.
They were currently in a hallway fighting against a pair of cyclops, each wielding a large club as the first dragged it across the ground while the second was holding it on his right shoulder.
The first lifted the club over his head to slam the ground with it. But the strike was easily dodged by everyone in the area. The first was taken out by the combined whip attacks of Lucy, Leon and Mamori, while the second was taken out by Natsu, taking the cyclops' own club and hitting him with it in the face before punching him with flame fisted punch, knocking him down. Though it was Happy that would finish him, burning him alive with holy water.
They made their way to the next door, which led to a wider area. The door that they had just come out of was blocked. There was an upper level balcony that had the next door, with stairs to get to said balcony. The only way to unblock them was to kill everyone in the area that was looking to kill them.
In the area was several gargoyles with petrifying blasts along with gorgons and undead knights, each with a sword and shield, both of which looked heavily worn.
Even if they weren't worn, Leon didn't care. He was not going to be slowed down or stopped by anything Walter put in his way.
Towa, who was on the back part of the balcony, watched the fight from a distance.
With a wave of her staff, she attempted to corrupt them. But none of her efforts seemed to work. Even Leon himself, while it looked as if the dark magic was beginning to take its hold on him, vanished.
"It doesn't matter what you try Walter! I will find you!" Leon called out.
While Towa was slightly shocked, her confidence never wavered. She then summoned the armored warrior next to her. "Kill them." She ordered.
Immediately after, they jumped a long distance down to the ground as Towa had left not just the area, but the entire time period.
"That armor's got that symbol on it! I think this is one of those masked guys!" Natsu said after he jumped in front of them, blocking their path to the door.
"So you recognize him. But it doesn't matter who it is. No one's getting in my way!" Leon declared, Vampire Slayer whip in hand as the armored warrior began to take out a large broadsword.
Devil May Cry 1 Soundtrack – Nelo Angelo Battle 1 Plays
Leon was the first to attack, but all of his whip strikes were blocked. After he stopped, he wasn't able to get a break as the others immediately jumped in. This forced him to have to completely disappear to avoid being overwhelmed.
"Where'd he go?" Natsu asked.
"Maybe it's over already? I won't complain." Happy said.
"No. It wouldn't be that easy." Leon said as he looked around, but found nothing.
"Above us!" Mamori called out, showing the several swords targeting them before they homed in to attack a second later, with the masked warrior reappearing as they did before landing back on the ground.
Everyone seemed to be able to dodge every sword. Every sword but one, with the lone sword hittin her in the foot, who grunted in pain from the hit. Luckily for her, the sword disappeared a second later, so she wouldn't have to worry about dislodging it.
The swordsman's sword began to emanate purple energy from it before he quickly charged forward. Leon was the only one in the path of his charge and he was able to acrobatically avoid it with a well-timed backflip.
"Are you alright?" Leon asked Lucy.
"Yeah. I'll live." She replied before she took out a couple of keys. "Though, this is definitely a sign that I'm going to need some help again."
Natsu's flame fisted punches were all blocked by the armored warrior with their sword. The constant onslaught made it harder for him to fight back, however, so he was forced to have to keep up his guard.
"So I guess you're smart enough to know that air attack isn't gonna work again." Natsu said to the swordsman, who replied with a quick backdash into a just as quick high jump into the air for a slice downward. But this was dodged by everyone, causing the six to converge and team attack, with Natsu along with the fifth and sixth member giving the most devastating punch out of all of them, knocking him into the wall. The new additions being Leo and Taurus, celestial spirits summoned by Lucy.
Holding out a hand, they threw out a spread of darkness infused spheres of energy before disappearing again.
"This again?" Natsu said before he looked up, but this time, the swordsman wasn't there. Instead, he was behind all of them as he began to quickly slice at all of them, quickly teleporting after some of the strikes, before they eventually stopped, drawing blood from the hits that he was able to connect before he summoned more swords and sent them at everyone. Using his gauntlet, Leon attempted to block as many of the swords that he could, but a couple of them still got through, a couple of them hitting him in his stomach.
"I thought this was going to be over pretty quick. But, I guess not. Now I think it's time I stopped holding back!" Leo said.
"It's over for you!" Taurus said, leaping in the air to crush him with an axe slam but was completely dodged with a teleport as they teleported right in front of Lucy, who gasped as she was in danger of being sliced in two before an axe was thrown by Leon alongside holy water by Happy, knives by Mamori and Natsu sending a stream of fire his way, forcing another quick escape. Though this time, the backdash was replaced with a back teleport before he sent swords Happy's way, forcing him to have to dodge all of them, before one of them, shaved off the top of his head, with him yelling after he realized what happened.
Now every other attack was done with a teleport in between around the area, with many of the attacks hitting.
"Darn it! I can't keep up with him with all of those teleports!" Natsu said, getting frustrated.
"Same here. If we don't figure out a way to stop that, we're as good as dead!" Leo said.
"The only time he doesn't teleport immediately after is when he's sending projectiles." Mamori noticed. "Which makes sense since he has to target us first."
"Then that's our opening. I'm not sure if a distraction's going to work though." Lucy said.
The six got on the defensive against the armored warrior's attacks until he began to summon more swords to target them.
No one needed to say anything after the opening was seen. Leon dived forward, axe in hands while Natsu, Leo and Taurus all combined together for mighty fire, light-infused, and just pure strength punches from each respectively to his head, sending the swordsman crashing into the wall so hard a hold was created in it.
"I don't think he's getting up from that. At least I hope not." Lucy said as a flash of bright light was seen coming from the room.
When they ran to the room, the armored swordsman was no longer present.
"I hate to say it but, something tells me we haven't seen the last of him." Natsu said.
"For his sake, I hope you're wrong. Next time he won't be so lucky!" Taurus boasted.
"Thanks for your help you two." Lucy said to Leo and Taurus.
"This is it!" Leon said, causing everyone to turn their attention to him. "On the other side of this door is Walter himself."
"Really? Are you sure?" Mamori asked.
"Yes. I'm positive." He said before turning towards the others. "I appreciate your help. For that, I am forever grateful. As I have already told you, only this whip is capable of slaying Walter."
"Yeah. We know. But…."
"The corruption on the scroll is subsiding! Looks like taking out that swordsman was all you needed to do." Supreme Kai of Time said to the four.
"Please. You've done more than enough. Now you must let me finish it. I would never forgive myself if Walter kills you on my watch." Leon said to the four.
Natsu nodded. "Good luck."
"Thank you. I will never forget this. For as long as I live. If we were to ever cross paths again, I will be sure to repay you in kind."
"We'll be sure to keep that in mind. Now go kick Walter's butt." Lucy said to him before they all began to be sent back to the Time Vault, the bright light forcing Leon to have to shield his eyes. Once he saw they were gone, he turned his attention back towards the door.
"This is it. Walter, this ends tonight!" He said before approaching the door to enter the throne room.
?, Unknown Age
Towa had returned with the swordsman in hand. Though his look was drastically different compared to before. Now, he was wearing blue robes and had white hair. A katana holster was also seen.
"I see you've decided to get a replacement for the one that died." Mira said, referring to Shredder.
"No, not a replacement. Remember the armored one? Nelo Angelo? Also known as Vergil? This is the product of him without his armor."
"I see."
"To prevent the risk of him escaping, I immediately knocked him out. I learned my lesson from Bardock. Now I'm going to have to design something else for him to keep him under my control." She said before looking at the katana he had holstered. "His defeat only confirms that what happened before with the Shredder and Shen was no fluke. I tried to corrupt the ones that were fighting him. And it didn't work. One of them was able to break free. But the others were completely immune. If I'm willing to bet, that is probably that Kai's doing. She must have known I'd try something like that."
"Since I'm clearly still incapable of fighting, now what will you do?" Mira asked.
Towa picked up Mira's sarcastic tone, but wasn't upset. Instead, she was amused by it. "Don't worry. You'll be fighting soon. As a matter of fact, I'm going to do one more thing before I let you go."
Mira was surprised to hear this from her and raised an eyebrow. "And that is?"
"Find out who exactly these new additions are." Towa said as she took out and opened up a scroll.
The House, The Park(Regular Show)
Skips was seen putting up his fists in a fighting stance before The Hammer, a blue holographic body of the boss from a beat-em-up video game. The pants and shoes were blue and he was wearing a white tank top with a black mullet for hair. His body was made up of the game controllers, a box TV and a console that looked like the Sega Master System along with the cords of said console.
The Hammer punched him once and sent him into the wall.
"Skips!" Mordecai and Rigby called out.
Skips, wiped his mouth before spitting and getting back up to fight him alongside Mordecai and Rigby. Mordecai was knocked into the wall by the staircase and Skips was thrown out of the way.
Rigby, on The Hammer's back, was a little harder for him to grab and get off, so he decided to back into the wall, slamming Rigby into it before doing it again and then turning around to knee him in the chest.
Pops had a piece of wooden board broken on his face. Muscle Man was punched in the face. Rigby was kicked in the chest. And Mordecai was punched in the stomach. He then began to charge a dark energy ball from his hands.
"That doesn't look good." Rigby commented.
"What's he doing?" Mordecai asked in a concerned tone.
"Everybody get down!" Skips said, which caused everyone to dive for cover away from the attack.
"Yo Muscle Man, my boss found out that I gave you guys that TV and he fired me. 'S cool if I crash here for a couple of da-" Jimmy, an employee at the TV store warehouse started as he was walking into the house before he saw The Hammer. "What the?"
The Hammer launched the energy ball forwards at Jimmy, who gasped in horror. But it was too little, too late for him to try anything to get out of the way as it hit him, sending him flying out of the house and killing him in an explosion.
"How are we supposed to hurt him?" Skips asked as six figures began to appear in a flash of bright light, causing everyone, including The Hammer to look in that direction.
Appearing were the four Luna Nova witches.
"Wait, he can summon help!?" Mordecai said before Rigby immediately went in to attack them.
"Stop! We're here to help you!" Lotte said as the raccoon had gotten on top of her head and started to pull at her hair.
"Yeah? Well prove it!" Rigby replied.
Akko, changing into an elephant, rammed The Hammer before he was, to Akko's shock, able to stop her before throwing her out of the house through the roof.
"Not gonna lie, I kinda saw that one coming believe it or not." Sucy said.
"Sucy!" Lotte said in a scolding tone.
"What? I'm just being honest. It's not like I wanted it to happen." She replied before they both tried to restrain him with plants to allow Diana an opening for a magic-based attack.
"Murawa!" She called, creating a strong concentrated bolt of magic at The Hammer. The game boss responded by breaking free from the vines and charging at Diana and the others with her, who dived out of the way at the last second to avoid getting trucked by him. Sucy attempted to strangle him as a snake but was grabbed and was stretched out, causing her to hiss in pain.
Skips attempted to tackle him to the ground, but he stopped it by throwing Sucy at her, who returned back to her normal self.
"My back…" Sucy groaned, though in her usual monotone voice.
"What the heck!? How are we supposed to beat him if nothing we do hurts him?" Hi-Five Ghost said.
"Well he is the final boss for a reason! He's supposed to be hard!" Rigby said as he ducked a punch from him before kicking him "in the junk". Though that did absolutely nothing and The Hammer kicked him away.
"Dudes, when they said nobody beats The Hammer, I think they were serious." Muscle Man said as The Hammer emitted a burst of energy and yelled out.
"I think he just powered up. Dude, we need to get rid of him! Like now!"
"I know, I know! The problem is, we don't know how to hurt-" Mordecai gasped as he came to a realization. "That's it! He didn't start actually hurting in the game until we hit him with furniture!"
"Grab any furniture you can find!" Skips said.
Everyone but Sucy, Lotte and Diana went to get a piece of furniture as those attempted to restrain him with vines. The Park crew grabbed clocks, the dresser, and even the staircase railing, whatever they could find, they used to hit him with until he unleashed a burst of energy, sending all of them back.
"What the heck! He never did that in the game!" Rigby said.
"Did the furniture at least hurt him?" Lotte asked.
"I don't know. I hope it did." Mordecai said. "We'll just have to do it again."
The problem was, the explosion of energy The Hammer unleashed destroyed the rest of the furniture in the room.
"There's no more furniture!" Rigby said.
"Then get something from the other rooms!" Skip said.
Though The Hammer wasn't going to allow that to happen as he began to channel dark energy from both of his hands.
"Somebody stop him!" Rigby said.
Just then, Akko, as a crow, flew in and got in The Hammer's face, causing him to send the wave of energy in the wrong direction.
"Go! Go now!" Skips said as Akko continued to distract him as The Hammer attempted to grab her, with Diana and the others joining in as crows as well.
Having had enough, he sent another explosive wave of energy out, sending the four flying as they reverted back to their normal selves, with the Park crew feeling the effects of the explosion as well, even in other rooms, though not as fully as the four wtiches. The Hammer was on one knee, seemingly exhausted from the explosion. When he looked up, he saw a chair coming at him. And then three more, the third he caught before a toilet seat was thrown at him, hitting him in "the junk", causing The Hammer to grab the area and fall to the ground a bit.
"Really? A toilet seat?" Rigby said to Mordecai, who was the one that threw the seat.
"What? I couldn't find anything else." Mordecai replied.
"Keep hitting him with stuff before he gets back up!" Skips said as he picked up the entire kitchen sink and ran in the living room to hit him on the head with it multiple times until The Hammer stopped and held him back before kicking him in the junk.
But Mordecai, Rigby and Muscle Man had his back, finding more furniture to hit him with, causing him to fall on the ground again. Only for him to get back up a few seconds later, the same dark energy still coming from him.
"Dude, we're running out of furniture!" Rigby said.
"If he's from a game, that might be the only way you'll be able to finish him. In the game!" Sucy said.
"Not like we have any other ideas. Come on! Hold him down so I can grab one of the controllers!" Mordecai said. But The Hammer had other plans. He began to gradually rise into the air charge even more energy as the ground began to shake before he started creating a ball of energy.
"That's not good." Lotte said.
"You think? That's probably his insta-kill finisher that some bosses have. This is our last chance! If he get's that off we're all dead! Find some furniture, quick!" Sucy said.
Mordecai and Rigby grabbed a couple of drawer shelves from their room, while Pops grabbed the computer chair from where the room where the computer was. Skips took the entire computer desk. Muscle Man grabbed a cabinet door and the witches grabbed whatever they could find as well.
"I don't know if that's furniture." Mordecai said, referring to Muscle Man with the cabinet door and Diana with the shower rod.
"Look, I couldn't find anything else, okay? Just hit him already!" Diana said, annoyed.
Everyone hit him with all of the furniture they had as many times as they could, forcing him back to the ground.
"Mordecai, Rigby, you two know how to play this game. You finish him!" Skips said to the two, who quickly nodded and ran to grab the controllers. The Hammer tried to stop them, kicking Mordecai and Rigby, but the others held him down.
"Hurry and grab the controllers now! We can't hold him much longer!" Akko said to the two.
Mordecai and Rigby, though in pain from the kicks, crawled to the controllers and grabbed them, causing the game to turn on.
"The game is back on! You were right!" Rigby said to Sucy.
"Stop wasting time and play it!" Skips said as The Hammer began to charge more energy to knock them away with another explosive wave.
"I don't think so!" Diana said before changing into an alligator and biting him in the arm to stop him from trying anything, which only caused said arm to flinch reflexively from the bite, causing Rigby to drop the controller.
"Hey! What are you doing!? You almost got me out!" Rigby said. Thankfully, Mordecai was able to pause it.
Diana changed back to normal. "My mistake. Won't happen again."
"Dude, come on!" Mordecai said to Rigby.
Rigby hurries and grabs the controller again, with Mordecai unpausing right after.
In the game, Mordecai and Rigby found whatever furniture they could and hit The Hammer with it until they depleted his health.
The "You Win" screen was shown before the dark energy from The Hammer in the real world disappeared, with him completely disappearing after and the TV falling to the ground and breaking.
Diana, Lotte and Akko breathed a sigh of relief.
"That was way too close." Akko said.
The power around the city started to come back on. The Park included. When the lights came on, the entire Park crew celebrated. The front door to the house suddenly opened.
"Hey guys, there was a blackout at my place, so I figured that-" Benson started before he saw four girls coming at him to attack him with broken pieces of furniture. "What the heck?"
He was knocked down before they continued to hit him with the furniture.
"Hey! Stop!" Mordecai said as they all ran to stop the four. Once they got there, they pulled them off him.
"That's our boss man! Chill!" Muscle Man said to the four.
"Huh?" Akko said before they looked and realized it was Benson.
"Oh." Lotte said before all four apologized. "We're sorry." They all said simultaneously. Though in Diana's case it was "My apologies".
Benson could only sigh before getting up, picking up the TV he had brought with him before leaving. For him, he figured the best decision was for him to leave and figure things out in tomorrow.
"Huh. Surprised he didn't blow up at us." Rigby commented.
"Shut up!" Mordecai said to him low, lightly hitting him in the arm.
"We should probably go now." Sucy whispered to the other three before they all agreed and teleported back to the Time Vault.
"Still though, we couldn't have done this without-" Mordecai and the others realized they were gone. "Where'd they go?"
"Probably back to wherever they came from. The question is, where?" Skips said, thinking.
"Forget that! We just beat The Hammer! In the game and in real life!" Rigby exclaimed.
"I know, right!?" Mordecai said before they all high-fived each other.
Time Vault
Akko, Lotte, Sucy and Diana all returned to the Time Vault.
"How many more of these do we have to do?" Akko asked Trunks and the Supreme Kai of Time.
"As many as you can. At least for the competition. But overall, until we fix all of this." Supreme Kai of Time answered.
"I hope it's soon." Akko said.
"Why? You wouldn't happen to be tired, would you?" Diana asked her in a slightly teasing tone.
Akko immediately perked up. "Tired? No way! Let's get the next one!" Akko said before grabbing a scroll.
"But Akko, I already have-" Lotte started before she just sighed and put the scroll she had back on the table. It would waste more time getting into a conflict about which scroll to take so she decided to not say anything and join the others in looking at the altered piece of history they needed to fix, which was another strike mission involving Guardians, this time on the planet Io, against Brakion, The Genesis Mind, a large Vex Hobgoblin.
Meanwhile….
In Gravity Falls, Oregon, Toxsa, Randy and Zak Monday weren't fortunate enough to catch the break the witches did of their fight being over after beating their one video game character, which I this case, was Rumble McSkirmish(Well technically, Rumble still won but their job was to prevent him from killing Dipper like he did before in the altered history).
Now they had to fight Ken and Ryu, both of whom were affected by Towa's dark magic. Their objective was still to protect Dipper and anyone else that would come into the area, so they told him to stay back, something that he was more than fine with doing.
Street Fighter 4 Evil Ryu Theme Plays
"If you don't come at me with your full power, I will kill you!" Ryu said to the four as he threw out a standing kick.
"Yeah, I think we got that in the first minute or so." Randy said.
"Then stop running like a coward and fight me!" He roared out, continuing to throw out attacks, all of them dodged by Randy and Zak.
"It's called dodging, not running. I guess using your brain is stupid now." Zak replied, using his Fang to grab one of his legs, only for him to use an Ashura Senkuu to advance towards him before picking him up by his shirt and chopping him down. He would have added in a stomp by Randy, as The Ninja, came at him with a flying kick. A kick that Ryu easily countered with a Shoryuken.
"Okay, I think I shoulda seen that one coming." Randy said while on the ground.
"You better pray I don't melt that armor. Because if that's the only way you can fight, you're done." Ken said to Toxsa, who was doing his best to block or anticipate Ken's attacks, but couldn't find any openings of his own to attack back as all of them were too slow and dodged easily by Ken.
"Just like you better pray I don't get a good hit in on you. Even with that evil power-up I doubt you could take on the full might of a Tenkai Knight." Toxsa replied. "Hey, look at me. I just rhymed." That realization left him open to getting kicked multiple times in the head with fiery kicks before being grabbed and thrown into a tree. "Alright that does it! No way I'm gonna lose to a dinosaur like you! An iconic dinosaur might I add, but still a dinosaur! Computer, is Titan Mode available?"
"Titan Mode is available and fully operational." The AI answered.
"I don't know what you're planning, but don't think I'm dumb enough to let you do it." Ken said as he was sprinting at him before Dipper blocked his path.
"Wait! You wanna get to him, then you're-" Dipper started before Ken kicked him out of the way like a soccer ball.
"Outta my way kid."
"Too late! Valorn Tenkai Titan Mode! Activate!" Toxsa called out, performing the transformation, the bright green light from Valorn turning back into his brick form to begin the transformation, disorienting Ken. Once the transformation finished, he landed back on the ground, towering over Ken. "Now you're in for it! You know, Time Patroller fits real well, 'cause I'm sendin' you back to the 90s!"
He jumped back high in the air and sent energy blasts at him from his staff, with Ken running to dodge them.
"For one, that was a weak one-liner. And two, I'm sure you know what they say about 'the bigger they are'." Ken replied.
"Yeah, yeah the harder they fall. Thing is, I'm not fallin' anytime soon!" Toxsa replied as he continued to shoot energy blasts at him.
"You will after this!"
Ken, once he got close enough, performed a Shinryuken that created a pillar that was a sinister mixture of darkness and fire, catching Toxsa off guard and causing him to fall to the ground with a loud thud.
"Okay, you got me there. But don't think I'm finished yet!"
"Ninja vanish!" Randy said before he and Zak completely disappeared out of Ryu's sight via smoke bombs.
"You can't hide from me!" Ryu roared out as he looked around for the two, only finding Dipper, who nervously waved before he saw that Ryu was coming towards him now, so he started to run. "You're not getting away!"
He was suddenly grabbed by a grappling hook and a Kusarigama, allowing the owners of each, Zak and Randy respectively, to advance towards him and kick him in the back. But it also inadvertently caused Ryu's pants to tear.
Music Stops
Everyone looks at what just happened.
"Okay, that was a complete accident I swear." Randy said.
This only caused Ryu to growl as he began to gather dark energy before beginning to teleport towards Randy and Zak for a Raging Demon. "TIME TO DIE!"
What he didn't see was Ken coming at him and blocking his path. In the aftermath of the move connecting, Ken was seen on the ground, the dark energy dissipated from his body.
"No. NO!" Ryu said before checking on Ken. When he felt that there was no pulse from his body, he realized what he had done: killed his friend. "Ken….. I'm sorry."
"Using his friend as a shield. Honestly not a bad-" Zak started before Randy stepped on his foot to shut him up.
"Oh man…" Toxsa said as he returned back to his normal Valorn form.
"Ryu it's not your fault. Towa's magic-" Randy started, but was cut off by Ryu.
"You're right. It's not my fault. It's his!" Ryu growled out as he looked at Valorn.
"Now wait just a second there cowboy. It's not like I expected that to happen!"
"I mean, you kinda proved his point?" Zak said before Randy stepped on his foot again.
"Dude, you're not helping!" Randy whispered to him.
"I'LL KILL YOU ALL!" Ryu roared out, enraged as even more dark aura began to surround him.
"Yeah, can you please attempt to do that after you put some pants on?"
"SHUT UP!" He began to charge a Metsu Hadoken.
"I don't wanna do this, but you leave me no choice!" Randy replied before his suit's colors inverted, indicating that he was now in Ninja Rage Mode. "If words won't get through to you, then maybe this will!" He began to charge fireballs from both of his hands before combining them together into one large Tengu Fireball attack before launching it at Ryu.
"DIE!" Ryu yelled out before his face was suddenly covered. The culprit being Dipper, who jumped onto his head, covering his eyes and causing him to throw the fireball out in the wrong direction. Ryu grabbed him and slammed him into the ground before stomping on his chest hard, causing Dipper to howl in pain.
"Okay. I think this was a bad idea…." Dipper croaked out.
"Fine then. I'll kill you first!" Ryu said to him. But worrying about Dipper left him open to getting hit by the Tengu Fireball and a laser blast from Toxsa, sending him flying.
"And one more for good measure!" Toxsa said, now back in Titan Mode mode before grabbing him, spinning him around before throwing him in the air and back to the ground.
When he finally landed back on the ground, he and the others saw that there was no more dark energy surrounding Ryu.
"Okay, I think that was kinda overdoing it." Dipper said before grabbing his side. "Then again, I feel like everything in my body is broken so I guess I should be happy huh?"
Ryu was starting to slowly get up, grabbing his head.
"Wait, you're not dead? Well that's a surprise." Zak commented.
"No. But, my head feels terrible." He replied before remembering something. "Ken!" He got up and immediately ran to him. "My friend. I'm sorry. I wasn't strong enough. For the both of us. If I resisted the darkness in my heart, you'd still be here."
"Supreme Kai of Time, do you think you'll be able to fix this?" Randy asked her.
"Fix what? You mean history? That's what we're here for silly!" She replied.
"No, I meant what's happening now."
She decided to look at the event herself and saw exactly what he meant, figuring out for herself what happened. "Oh. I see. If they're not a part of this piece of history, probably. I'm assuming you took care of everything there, right? I've been watching some others while merging some of these scrolls so I haven't been watching. Sorry about that. Unfortunately I don't have anything to multiply myself. Or see everything at once."
"None of you should blame yourselves. This is all on me. If I had been strong enough to resist, none of this would have happened. The strange thing was that it was all so sudden. I was enjoying a meal and then….. darkness just….. came over me. The Satsui no Hado seems to be full of surprises. And I need to be ready against all of them." Ryu said to the four.
"Satsui no Hado? Is that what Towa's magic is called?" Zak M. said.
"Towa? Who's that?" Ryu asked, confused.
"The one that made you like that. Everything that happened here is on her. And let's just say that we came here to put a stop to it. Unfortunately it ended like this." Randy said.
"So, it's over?" Dipper asked. "What exactly is going on here?"
"Dude, I think you should be asking where the nearest bed is, not worrying about this." Toxsa said.
"Completely fair and I will. After I figure out what's going on. This sounds serious. And completely unrelated to what happened with Rumble. Somewhat anyway. That dark aura around him was the same as what was around Ken and Ryu. If that happened here once, considering this place's track record that can happen again. And if that happens, I want to be prepared and be able to protect everyone here. Especially my family."
"Sure, why not? It's not like you'll remember it anyway." Zak said.
"What? What do you mean I won't remember it? I'm not letting you wipe my memory!"
"Forget this, we're outta here." Zak said before pulling out the Scroll of Eternity.
"You're not going anywhere!" Dipper said before tackling him to the ground and trying to wrestle the scroll away from him. A bright light started to shine before the two started to disappear.
Randy gasped, realizing that he and Toxsa were in danger of being left behind and trapped, so they hurried and grabbed onto Zak and/or Dipper.
"Wait!" Ryu called out, reaching for them.
Time Vault
Supreme Kai of Time was currently watching Luz, Zak Saturday, Razer and Penny assist Liu Kang and Kung Lao in a battle against Kitana, Jade, Tanya and Mileena.
"I'm not letting go until you tell me what's going on!" Dipper demanded, still wrestling for the scroll before he turned and realized where they were along with everyone else. Ryu and Ken were also there.
"What the heck?" Trunks said, surprised.
"Well this isn't good." Toxsa said.
"Well look who it is. Funny seeing you here dude." Chris said to Dipper.
"Uh, who are you again?" Dipper asked.
"Oh. So that event must have been before you came on to the show."
"Show? What show?"
"Total Drama. The awesome hit reality TV show from Canada! And you're on camera right now! By the way, for our audience, here's the current scores on where the teams stand."
Rats: 23
Kings: 20
Breakers: 19
"I am? Huh. I think I'd have more of a reaction if I wasn't thrown into….. what even is this place?"
"Somewhere you shouldn't even be in." Supreme Kai of Time said, approaching Dipper and the ones that came with him before turning her attention towards the three who were given a Scroll of Eternity. "What are they doing here? You know you're not supposed to just pull people from history!" Supreme Kai of Time scolded.
"We didn't want to do it. He just decided to tag along! And Ryu, I have no clue why he's here." Zak said.
She sighed. "Great. If I'm going to be able to fully fix history they're going to have to go back."
"Why not just merge the scrolls now? That should send them back, right?" Zak asked.
"If I merge these scrolls right now, there's no telling what will happen to them. Doing it while they're in a piece of history is different than when they're here. Conton City, the entire Time Nest, and therefore the Time Vault and everyone that's currently one of them are protected from history changes. That's the reason why Trunks, Sly and the Zaks only became ephemeral to show they were in danger of being erased. Outside of here, erasure from existence due to a history change is almost instant. There's a good chance that Dipper and the others- Why am I even explaining all this to you? They just need to go back! End of story!"
"Time Vault, Time Nest." Dipper said to himself before instantly coming to a realization of what was going on. "You guys are time travelers! Man I really wish I would have had my journal right now." Dipper said before grabbing his side again. "Completely forgot about that." He added, wincing in pain. "Journal or not, like I told them, this looked like something pretty serious. And it turns out I was right. Look, I understand I'm not supposed to be here. But I've had some experience in handling strange things. The last thing I want to happen is for something bad to happen to Mabel, Grunkle Stan, everybody at Gravity Falls and I could have done something about it. Heck, not even just there. My parents! The whole world could be in danger! They helped me out and honestly, probably saved my life. Consider this my way of paying them back. When this is over you can send me back. But please, let me help."
"I share his sentiments. If you don't mind, I'd like to lend my strength for this as well!" Ryu declared.
"If you were to leave the scrolls they were in as they were right now, is there a chance anything else could happen even with them getting rid of the threats there?" Trunks asked.
"Don't assume that I've already made the decision to keep them." Supreme Kai of Time said.
"Oh. Sorry." Trunks said.
"Alright, first things first I'm going to tend to Dipper. As for you three, go ahead and get another scroll. We'll talk about this later once I'm finished healing him. And can someone please take Ryu to go and put some pants on?"
"Honestly, I kinda forgot about that." Randy said.
"Yeah. Me too. Editing team's got it covered though." Chris said.
"Trunks, could you show Ryu where the shop is?" Supreme Kai of Time asked him.
"What? Why does it have to be me? You could do it!" Trunks replied.
"Because if I did it everyone would think I'm some weirdo pervert walking with a naked man. I can't have the people I'm employing and visitors think the person that oversees this place is some creep." She replied before looking at Ryu before blushing as she said, "Look, I'll go get a towel for you to at least cover yourself with for now until you get to the clothing store. I'm just not about to allow you to run around the city naked like that. But that isn't a substitute for real pants!"
"Great. Then that means you can do it." Trunks said to her.
"I already said I'm not doing it!"
"Well I have to be here in case someone needs help."
"And what, what I'm doing isn't just as important?" She pinched her nose and sighed. "Okay, since neither of us want or can afford to leave for something like this, I'm going to entrust you to be able to find the store. Wait here just a moment." She said to Ryu before going in her house.
"Smooth move man. Now you got us in trouble." Toxsa said to Zak.
"Just hurry up and get a scroll." Zak said, brushing off what Toxsa said. And the latter did just that as they looked at the altered piece of history they needed to fix.
About a minute later, she returned, a piece of paper in her hand along with a pink towel.
"Don't worry about the color. But I'm sure you wouldn't mind. After all, most people aren't sensitive to that like Vegeta. Especially in situations like this where you need clothes. As for the other thing, this is a voucher you'll redeem once you go to buy your clothes at the register. It's good for one outfit and a spare in case something happens to the first one. And that's it. Get something nice, okay?"
The "voucher" was just a piece of paper with Supreme Kai of Time's writing and her signature, saying to "allow Ryu to get these two outfits on me". But Ryu didn't care. He took the voucher and the towel with gratitude. "Thank you. I really appreciate it. But, if I may ask for one simple additional request."
"Sure! What is it?"
"Do you have a restroom anywhere?"
"Just use the one in my house. You shouldn't miss it."
"What about this-" Ryu started, preparing to open the door of the confessional before Chris stopped him.
"That is not a bathroom!" Chris said.
Ryu could have sworn he saw there was a toilet in there but he wasn't going to question it. Maybe the toilet was clogged? "Hmm, okay then. It looks like I'll go with her suggestion after all. Thanks."
"Are there really no bathrooms in the Time Vault?" Trunks asked her.
"No. Why would we need a bathroom in a place that acts as a safe haven for history?" Supreme Kai of Time responded.
"Oh. I guess that makes sense."
*Confessional*
Trunks:
"I don't recall a time where I've ever needed to go that badly but, it couldn't hurt to have one there, right? You never know. When you've gotta go, you've gotta go. And also, this looks like a bathroom to me. I never thought about it before but, if you don't people to mistake it for a bathroom and use it, why would you set this up in here then? Couldn't you just put it somewhere else? I guess this is something that reality shows do. Something like that isn't my thing so I wouldn't know."
*End Confessional*
*Confessional*
Supreme Kai of Time/Chronoa:
"I mean, we could renovate the place. But then again, I'd rather not have to deal with anything going wrong and having to fix it, potentially messing up time as we know it. Imagine history being in danger over wanting to put a bathroom in the Time Vault. Do you realize how embarrassing that would be for me and the Time Patrol if I were to approve that and something went wrong?"
*End Confessional*
"So, if you don't mind me asking, who exactly are you?" Dipper asked Supreme Kai of Time as she was healing him.
"You know, for someone that's not even supposed to be here you're asking a lot of questions." She replied as Ryu came out of the house seconds later.
"So, no to answering that then. Got it."
"Just please try to stay still while I heal you."
"Healing? Is it possible for you to help out my friend Ken?" Ryu asked, hopeful and overhearing the conversation just before he left.
"Unfortunately no. My healing can only do so much. And resurrection isn't one of them. Sorry."
"Please! You have to at least try!"
She was silent for a few seconds before finally speaking. "Okay. Dipper, do you mind waiting for a bit?"
"Sure. I understand." Dipper answered.
Ryu gently placed Ken along the bench before she began the rejuvenation attempt.
After about 5 minutes, she stopped. And he still had yet to regain consciousness.
She turned to Ryu, a somber look on her face. "I'm sorry. I wasn't able to-"
Groaning was heard from the bench, causing everyone to turn their attention towards it.
"Ken! You're alive!" Ryu exclaimed, overjoyed to see his friend alive and well.
"Oh crap….." Ken groaned again. "Sure doesn't feel like it. Usually sleep's supposed to make you feel better once you get up. I can't be getting that old am I?"
"It's great to see you again my friend." Ryu said.
"I'm sure it is." Ken said, continuing to wince in pain. "I kid you not, I can barely move. Where even am I anyway?"
"You can worry about all of that later. Right now, you need to stay still so I can finish healing you." Supreme Kai of Time said to him.
"Trust me, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." Ken said.
"It's a miracle you're even alive. Funny enough, I'm gonna have to give Towa the credit here. If it wasn't for that strength increase I'm not sure if you'd even survive that."
"It's also his spirit. Even before that dark magic came over him, Ken's spirit is strong. I believe that that was also one of the reasons why he was able to stay alive. Along with your healing of course. I know I've said it twice recently but, thank you. You have my utmost of gratitude." Ryu said, bowing to her.
"While I really appreciate it, you don't have to bow you know. And if you really want to show your thanks, please go get some clothes."
Ryu nodded, satisfied that his friend was okay, left to find the clothing store.
Zak Saturday, Razer, Luz and Penny reappeared in the Time Vault and saw everyone there.
"Dipper? Alright, pretty clear that we missed a lot since we've been gone." Luz said.
"I think it would be less weird for me if I knew who you were." Dipper said/
"This Dipper is from the past, just to let you know. Before he was on the show." Chris said.
"Ohhh. Gotcha. So, any reason why he's here? What happened?" Luz asked her.
"He tagged along with Toxsa, Randy and Zak at the last minute. The same with Ryu and Ken." Supreme Kai of Time answered.
"Of course he'd do that….. why couldn't they have just did it when he wasn't looking?"
"Beats me."
"So I guess they're gonna be helping out."
"I already got asked that by Dipper and Ryu. I haven't decided yet."
"Well, if you do say yes, I'd like a piece of the action too." Ken said, grunting in pain as he moved.
"I never said I was finished. Keep still!" Supreme Kai of Time said.
"Jeez. How much longer is this gonna be, doc?"
"As long as it takes for me to heal you."
Ken sighed. "So… what kinda reality show is Total Drama? How is it?"
"It's cool. When it's not something seriously life-threatening like this." Luz said.
"Yeah. Not gonna lie, what happened here was totally uncalled for. And this is coming from the guy that was a Weird World fan! A Weird World fan!" Zak Saturday said.
"Yes, we get it. It's Chris' fault. Now come on, let's get to the next scroll!" Sophie said as Razer had already opened the next one.
"Thank you!" Chris said.
"That wasn't me helping you."
Razer's sudden and audible surprise was what caused Sophie to look back at the scroll. "Is something wrong? I don't see-" Once she saw the Red Lantern Razer, she understood completely.
"If you don't want to do this, we under-"
"No. It's fine. I'll do it." Razer insisted.
"Are you sure? You don't have to-" Luz started.
"Yes. Yes I am. But, before we leave, you'll need to be better equipped for this battle. " Razer said.
"What do you mean?"
"This battle primarily took place in space. And not in the same way as the Star Wars battle. If you don't want to die the second we get there, then you're all going to need to wear the suits that the Supreme Kai of Time spoke of."
Once they all put on the suits, the armor was finally seen on the suits to reflect they were wearing them, obviously less for aesthetic reasons and more to protect them while out in space. Each suit matched the color of the clothes, while the helmet visors were colored by their teams. Though Penny putting on one was surprising to Razer especially.
"When I said you all needed to put on suits, I didn't mean you." Razer said to Penny.
"Yes. Teammates Zak and Luz, due to their need of oxygen to live are the most logical. But, I understand that my systems are still at risk of shutting down. After all, my father never had space in mind during my creation, so I am unsure how they would interact with that environment. As such, as the saying goes, 'Better to be safe than sorry'." Penny explained.
"Fair enough."
Razer closed the scroll and firmly gripped it before he looked at the others tagging along with him. They all gave him assuring looks that they would be right there with him before they all teleported out to the area.
Space(Green Lantern: The Animated Series)
The Anti-Monitor was seen consuming a ship that contained the Green Lanterns Hal and Kilowog along with Red Lanters Xilius Zox and Razer. Several Red Lantern ships that were attempting to flee were being consumed as Manhunters were also seen attacking the ships, destroying or critically damaging some of them.
He was hit by powerful red, blue and green beams in the head. The sources being the time travelers that appeared. All of them except for Razer holding staffs in their hands that could launch powerful energy blasts similar to the Manhunters.
The Anti-Monitor looked over at the attackers, their appearance causing him to stop the consumption process.
"Safe to say we have it's attention now." Zak said.
"Scanning." Anti-Monitor said, looking at them.
"If it so catches us in one blast we're all dead! Move! Now!" The present Razer implored all of them.
Some of the Manhunters turned their attention towards them as well.
"I think I'll be able to handle the smaller robots. Razer, you've seen this before. You can take out the big guy, right?" Zak asked him, moving out of the way of a Manhunter shot before shooting back and hitting it in the arm, blowing it off before he shot the other off as well, preventing him from being able to fight.
"No, not alone I can't. The Anti-Monitor is too powerful for any of us to defeat alone. Even as a group, all five of us stand no chance of beating it." Razer said, weaving through the blasts sent his way and shooting two Manhunters before blocking the shot of another that was on the side of him with an energy shield before shooting back, blowing the machine's head off.
"So give us the rundown on what's supposed to happen here. How did you beat it back then? Or would that be now? You know what I mean!" Luz said, barely dodging a blast from a Manhunter and shooting back, only to miss. Though the machine wasn't about to make that mistake and miss again as it was lining up for the perfect shot. One that it wouldn't be able to get off as Razer destroyed it first. "Thanks."
"It was Aya. She used-" Razer started to explain before numerous rapid-fire green energy blasts were seen blowing holes and destroying multiple Manhunters. The source being Hal as he flew towards them, who was using a heavy machine gun construct, which even came with a bandoleer of bullets along his chest.
"We appreciate the save back there. But, just because you got one good hit in doesn't mean you'll be able to beat him. Let's not go that far." Hal said before he got a good look at Razer. He was confused but this wasn't the time or place for him to be asking questions as he started to shoot more Manhunters that were coming their way. "We're gonna regroup and lead the Anti-Monitor away so we can finish this. I've got a ship with a crew that I'm sure would love to be able to see the faces of their saviors. Come on." Hal said as he began to fly back to the ship, still shooting at Manhunters that looked as if they were about to attack them or we're attacking them.
Once they got there, Razer was the only one that didn't get on.
"You're not coming?" Zak asked.
"No thank you. I'll be fine out here." Razer replied.
"Considering your wardrobe, you look like you'll be able to fend for yourself. Everybody else, follow me!" Hal said as he went up the boarding hatch before it was closed seconds later as everyone got to the main area of the ship. And once they got aboard they saw exactly why Razer declined to be on board. In the form of a Red Lantern Razer from this point in time, who looked on as Zox and Kilowog were arguing.
"Don't you tell me to be quiet you simple-minded brute!" Zox said.
"Come here and I'll show you simple-minded!" Kilowog said.
"Hey! That's enough! Is this what you want our new guests to see?" Hal said to the two.
Kilowog, Razer and Zox looked at the three before Zox turned his attention back on Hal.
"Good, you're back. Because now you'll suffer my wrath too!" Zox said. "I mean just think about it! If it was that simple as that Guardian made it out to be, why couldn't she and the others have done that before!? Or better yet, not make something like that in the first place! So much for the 'Guardians of the Universe'! Ironic that they will be the reason everything as we know it will be wiped out!"
"Look, I understand you're upset, but snapping at the people that are trying to prevent that from happening, including saving your life, isn't going to make things better! Kilowog, get this ship moving as fast as it can go."
"On it!" Kilowog said.
"And you!" Hal started, looking at Zox. "You need to contact Ismald Prime Magistrate! Tell them to warm up everything they've got! I don't know what the Anti-Monitor's doing right now, but I'm almost certain we're not going to get an opportunity like that again. And if we don't stop him now he's coming for them next! Your people are counting on you Zox. Is this what you want their leader to be remembered as? Say what you will about The Guardians. But if you sit here on your hands and do absolutely nothing, that isn't exactly much better than them now, is it?"
Zox's anger in his face dissipated before he left the main area of the ship without a saying word.
Hal turned his attention back to the newcomers on the ship. "Sorry about that. As you already know, tensions are high. And again, understandably so. But the key is to not let those tensions lead to doing something that'll cost us. I'm Hal Jordan, Green Lantern of Sector 2814. Otherwise known as good ol' Earth. Big guy's Kilowog. And red-head right there is Razer."
"Whoever the heck you guys are, you saved our hides. You're already alright in my book." Kilowog said to them.
"Yes. I greatly appreciate the help." Past Razer answered in a non-enthusiastic tone before sitting back in his chair, looking out in space.
"That's his way of saying thanks, don't worry." Hal said. "So, who exactly sent you to help us? The Guardians?"
"Do these guys look like Green Lanterns to you?" Kilowog replied.
"Hey, I was just throwing that out there. It was the first one that came to mind. And the Guardians don't have to always send a Green Lantern for help. It could be someone else."
"It wasn't The Guardians that sent us. Well, at least not yours. We're from a completely different universe. But we're not Lanterns like you all are." Sophie answered. She didn't want to lie, but that was the best thing she could come up with that wouldn't make Hal or the others try to press them more about who they were, considering what happened with Dipper.
"Alternate universe huh? Guess whoever you guys are with must have seen what was going on here and wanted to take preventative action. I don't blame them. Well, as the others said, we're all glad to have you helping us. Though, if you don't mind, could you tell us your names? Just so we don't get you guys mixed up."
While all of them were telling Hal their names, outside, present Razer was by the ship, closely following it, but also looking back. And eventually, he saw what he was expecting to see at some point while being out there. And even with all of that he was still surprised. A blue and red figure that seemingly looked like a badly damaged Manhunter was seen opening the lower ramp.
"Maybe the other guy with you changed his mind." Hal said.
"I don't think so. If that was the case, I think he would have told us." Sophie said as she, Razer, Kilowog and Hal along with her teammates went to meet whatever was coming to infiltrate the ship.
"If it's not a friendly, then there's a chance it might have got him too." Kilowog said as he and everyone else got in a position ready to fight as the ramp opened.
Two hands were seen on the ramp first.
"Steady…." Hal said to all of them. The rest of what was connected to the hands began to show itself, being revealed to have been a badly damaged Manhunter. But it's appearance was that of someone the three lanterns knew all too well.
"No way." Kilowog said in disbelief.
Past Razer was speechless, a completely stunned look on his face.
"Aya? You're alive? I-I can't believe it!" Hal said.
"Thank you Green Lantern Hal. I am also pleased to see you again. All of you." Aya said.
"That's….." Zak started, a little surprised at how Aya looked.
"Impossible." Past Razer coincidentally said.
"You look…. a little different. What happened?" Kilowog asked.
"When I was critically damaged, I was too far away to upload into the Interceptor's computer banks. I managed to transfer into a disabled Manhunter's CPU. I could not communicate however, so I followed the ship as best I could, until I caught up." Aya explained as she walked up the ramp as it closed. Outside, the present Razer moved back in sight near the ship.
"I can't believe it! You're alright!" Kilowog exclaimed, hugging her.
"Don't scare us like that again." Hal said to her.
"I will endeavor not too Green Lantern Hal. I see we have some new visitors. Visitors that were able to surprise the Anti-Monitor and save your lives. And for that, I am incredibly grateful." Aya said.
"Any time." Luz said.
"I would say surprise is a bit of a stretch but, that might be the right word. I don't think I've seen him like that. Where he just…. stopped."
"I surmise that he was attempting to comprehend the sudden appearance and attack without prior warning. As you would say, 'The Element of Surprise'." Aya and Penny said simultaneously before they looked at each other.
"Woah. That was kinda freaky." Kilowog said. "I understand Aya 'cause she's an AI but-"
"Like your crew mate Aya, I am also an android." Penny clarified.
"Huh. Well I guess that clears that up. Maybe once all this is over you two can hit it off. You never know. You guys might be best friends!"
"Let's not get too carried away. We haven't won anything yet." Hal said to Kilowog before turning her attention back to Aya. "Aya, we've got the Manhunters and the Anti-Monitor headed towards Ismald. We need to get ahead of them and coordinate with their planetary defenses. Can you help?"
"It would not be a problem. But it would be helpful if Red Lantern Razer would assist me. While I would more than like to learn more about our new allies, I understand that time is of the essence." Aya said.
"O-of course." Razer accepted, which caused Aya to smile.
Meanwhile….
A/N: I hate to put this here but I do want to clear things up that I don't think I made clear prior before anyone asks about it. The Samurai Jack used here, and for continuity purposes, Multiverse Edition, uses the secret ending from the 2020 Battle Through Time Video Game, which is why Ashi is alive here. If you haven't played the game or aren't familiar with it, the ending is on Youtube if you want to know what I'm talking about. Genndy Tartakovsky himself has confirmed that this game is canon to the events of the show. No, it is NOT the only canon ending. The one you see on the show is still canon too. The game is just an alternative scenario you could pick(Interestingly enough, he initially refused to be a part of it because he thought the game was going to be a mediocre cash grab but was convinced by the publishers were able to convince him that this wasn't the case. There's interviews online of him talking about it if you want to learn more). I don't remember if I mentioned this before, or even if EndeavorT, the person that suggested Jack in the first place ever asked me to do it(I do remember seeing a suggestion from another story of Endeavor preferring the author to use that ending. Though I could be completely wrong on this as I can't find the story. That or the story got deleted), but considering what Jack mentioned in the last season, I wanted to clarify that as I'm aware that not everyone that reads this story has read the last season, or is familiar with the game.
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Soundtrack- The Only Thing I Know For Real by Lass Plays
Ashi was seen trying to drive a blade right in the cyborg mercenary, Jetstream Sam's chest, but was unable to do so as Sam, using his bare hands, held her back before eventually overpowering her and kicking her in her chest.
"Not bad. Not bad at all. Let's see how long you can last!" Sam said before picking up his katana from off the ground behind him.
"Long enough for me to kill you." Ashi replied.
"Confident. I like that. But it takes more than confidence to win a battle!"
Not too far from where they were, a large amount of bullets were being fired in rapid succession at Asta, who was running as fast as he could to dodge them and get to the source of the bullets, the Umbra Witch Jeanne via her handguns All 4 One.
And was close to getting there until a fist came from under the ground, seemingly made up of mostly hair that was the same color as Jeanne's, which was white. He was barely able to jump over it in time before he was finally able to get to her, to which she responded with another large fist that appeared to the left of her from behind, which he was able to duck before he swinging his sword upwards at her. Although he barely missed, the attack being that close certainly left an impression on her by the look of her face.
But he wasn't about to allow her to get any type of breathing room as he used the momentum of the swing to send him in the air, allowing him to quickly pull out his second sword from his Grimoire and swing downwards at her with it, with Jeanne quickly pulling out a katana of her own to stop the slash from connecting.
Even during the clash of swords, Jeanne looked unconcerned as when she stomped, less than a second later, a large high-heeled foot appeared on the side of her that was also seemingly used her hair as a conduit. But instead of trying to dodging it, he used his larger Demon Slayer Sword to block the kick. Which seemingly took no extra strength or effort on his part to hold it back before it instantly disappeared a second later, but it wasn't because Jeanne wanted it to. Knowing what was about to happen next she immediately called on a fist, which also immediately disappeared the second it touched his sword, allowing him to finally score a hit on her via the Demon-Slayer Sword, knocking her down to the ground.
When he started to run at her, she acrobatically jumped back, firing the two pistols on her stilettos at her, which caught him by surprise from the shocked look on his face as he had to quickly dodge all of them. She continued to acrobatically jump away from him and continued to fire from both her heels and her hands as she shot at him with her other two pistols mid-air, somehow perfectly jumping over and avoiding the scythe-wielding Slashuur, who was battling Jack before landing on the ground and continuing to fire(and try to stomp and punch him) from long distance. He even had to make sure he dodged from attacks from behind as well as some of the bullets were somehow being redirected back in his direction before he was finally able to catch back up to her.
"Wow! Even your shoes are weapons!" Asta said to her in awe.
"And there's plenty more where that came from, child. I'm honestly impressed you've even been able to react to my attacks, much less dodge and attempt to counter them. You should be proud that you're even able to do that much against an Umbra Witch. But just because you can react to a few attacks or block them doesn't mean you can beat me." Jeanne replied.
"I've got to be careful. It's like every single time she moves an attack can come from literally anywhere. But, the fact that she said she's an Umbra Witch means those punches and kicks she did were definitely magic. I need to take full advantage of that." Asta thought.
Slashuur and Jack continued their battle, both seemingly evenly matched. Though there was one big difference between the two. While both wielded weapons that were more than meets the eye, Slashuur's had the ability to slowly drain the life force of anyone it hits and add it to his own, healing him.
Both landed hits on each other, the former's sword being strong enough to cut through the latter's armor, hurting him with each hit.
But with Slashuur's sickle's aforementioned properties, it wasn't as effective as it would be under normal circumstances.
The two were now in a stand-off as the chaos of the other battles in the area took place. "It would be easier for the both of us if you just give up. You can't beat me." Slashuur said to him.
"You are the ones that invaded my home. Trespassed on our peaceful lives and you expect me to simply surrender?" Jack replied in disbelief at his opponent's statement.
"For your sake, yes." Slashuur answered, gripping his sickle tighter.
"I appreciate your 'concern', but still, I refuse."
"Then so be it…."
Both Jack and Slashuur ran at one another to engage each other in battle once again. Several slashes, punches and kicks were seen in a quick succession, all of them either connecting, blocked or dodged and countered. And not a single grunt of pain was heard from either of them.
"If you really did not want violence, then you would never have come here in the first place." Jack said as their weapons clashed.
"Sooner or later one of my slashes will be the last one you'll ever feel. I gave you that offer as a way to lessen your suffering."
Jack uses his sword to force them in an angle that sends Slashuur's weapon flying in the air before almost cutting Kaz's head off as it landed, causing him to yell in horror at what just happened before also yelling in horror when he saw a Foot Clan version of Leonardo coming at him to also try to take his head off before he ducked out of the way and ran to get some distance, and some time for him to calm himself before he got back to fighting again. But just as quickly it appeared, it disappeared, immediately returning to Slashuur.
"Do you give that offer to everyone you've killed?" Jack asked him as he dodged a sudden blast from one of Slashuur's hands, turning some of the life force he drained from Jack into an explosive projectile.
"In many cases, no."
"Then what exactly makes me different than them?"
"Unlike most of the people I've been paid to take out, they've never lasted long or have been much of a challenge as you have. Alone at least."
"Except, I am not alone."
Jack suddenly moved to the left a bit, allowing the Kusarigama to go right past him.
By the time Slashuur realized what was going on, it was too late for him to stop it as he was wrapped up by it, the source being Ashi.
"Who said we were finished?" Sam said, dashing at her at an incredible speed before he was stopped by Jack. He smirked before getting into a stance with his katana. "Show me a good time Jack!"
"I don't think so. We're not finished!" Slashuur said.
"In a minute, you will be." Ashi said to Slashuur before the latter ultimately turned his attention back to her now, inferring that the woman was not about to move any time soon.
"HAA!" Raph roared out, attacking Kunigami with a mixture of quick sai strikes and kicks, putting Kunigami on the defensive. "That all ya got traffic cone?"
One of Kunigami's attacks were at the same time as Raph's. Though at the last second, the former adjusted his attack at the last minute, hitting him in the lower body instead and then headbutting him.
"Does that answer your question?" Kunigami replied.
Raph wiped his mouth. "Lucky hit….." Raph said before the two engaged each other again.
Dinner of Flames/Birthplace of Tragedy, 1792(Castlevania: Rondo of Blood)
Divine Bloodlines [Castlevania: Rondo of Blood] ~ Mega Man Zero Style Plays
Rally, May, Becky, X and Lanolin were all running through a burning village alongside vampire slayer Richter Belmont, one of many descendants of the first vampire slayer Leon Belmont of said clan, and a version of Zero from a future even further than where X originates.
Despite there being large time gaps of where they were all from, if there was the same, all of their weapons seemed to have been pretty effective against the creatures of the night that they needed to face to advance further.
Rally had just blown a hole in the head of one of them with a pistol, causing it to fall to the ground. Zero and Richter combined their efforts to take out a large group of skeletons, using Z-Saber and whip respectively while X and Lanolin blew several of them to bits.
Though while they were moving, Becky suddenly yelled loudly as she felt something grab at her leg. Seeing that it was the arm of one of the undead, she shot it with the pistol that she had with her. A pistol that she bought from Rally for the purpose of being able to defend herself with as she knew Rally, May, and even law enforcement or the common person wouldn't always be around to help her. While she had brought it with her to the island, she never actually expected to use it, much less in this way.
Once the arm was shot, she immediately tried her hardest to shake it off as she tried to calm herself down.
"When are going to get out of here!?" She said.
"Hopefully soon. Somehow I've lost complete contact with Ciel. First it was static. Now it's nothing." The future Zero said.
"'Hopefully' isn't the same thing as actually knowing."
"Do not worry. We are all here to protect each other. Nothing will happen to you. Not on my or any of the others' watch." Richter said to her.
"Thanks but, no offense, I'd feel a lot better if you said you knew we were close."
"Actually, we are close. To leaving the village at least."
"So that means we're done, right?"
"No, not even close." Richter replied, though he unintentionally misinterpreted what she meant. Even so, she still sighed.
"Relax. Like Richter said, we're packed and we've got each other's back. All things considered, we've been coastin' through this." May said as they got to the outside of a castle.
"I appreciate the encouragement, but I kinda wish you left that second part out. Because now I feel like you-"
"Jinxed it?" Rally guessed.
"Yeah."
A dragon was heard roaring as it began to approach them.
"Oh. Now I see why you said it." Becky said.
"This dragon is tough, but not unkillable. If we work together we can-" Richter started before X and Zero had slain it with ease via their weapons.
Music Stops
"Incredible…." Richter commented as the now dead dragon fell to the ground. "Just imagine how much easier things would be if you were around in the past."
"You're definitely not speaking to me. These guns were not taking this thing down that easy." Rally said.
Four figures flew to them, all of them infused with dark energy. Though in this case, a pink Time Breaker insignia was seen on their heads, indicating that they were in the second stage of the dark form from Towa's dark magic. Their eyes were hot pink and their skin and clothes were now different variants of a white and/or blueish hue. Even Puff was under the dark influence.
"Mr. Proud? What in the world?" Rally said, confused.
"So you're the worthless good for nothin' kidnappers!" Oscar, the man Rally was referring to said.
"What? We didn't kidnap any-"
"Nobody messes with our babies and gets away with it!" Trudy roared out before charging dark ki to power up for a few seconds before she stopped.
"That's right! Oscar might be an idiot, but if there's one thing we agree on, is the fact that if you put your hands on them kids, we're gonna put some hands on you!" Suga Mama said.
"Yeah! We- momma!"
"Just so you know, we're going to kick your a*s." The second man said in Spanish before laughing out loud.
"What Papi said." Suga Mama said as they all powered up once more to prepare fighting the "Penny kidnappers".

"It's Towa. She must have somehow tricked them into getting them to fight you. But how? And why?" Trunks said.
"Their eyes. Something sinister is over them." Richter said.
"Yeah, I think we've figured that one out. Now we need to figure out how to get it off them." Lanolin said.
"You'll have to knock them out for that to happen." Trunks said.
"I wonder how you'll handle that." A voice said. That voice being Towa herself as she had suddenly appeared alongside the masked lightsaber wielder.
"More friends of yours?" Zero asked.
Trunks appeared seconds later. "You handle those four. I'll take care of Towa."
"Wait, that's Towa?" May asked.
"Yes. Like I said, I'll take care of her. Just worry about them."
"You have to knock them out ASAP! Oscar is just a normal person. The longer he and the others stay like that, the stronger they'll get. But the more strain that probably puts on their bodies. If this goes on for too long, there's a chance they might die!" Supreme Kai of Time implored them.
"So now you're just using normal, innocent people as part of your twisted experiments!?" Trunks said to Towa.
"Innocent? You're the ones that kidnapped Penny! I'm just helping them!" Towa insisted.
"Because we'd definitely kidnap her and take her several years into the past. That doesn't even make any sense!" Rally said before Oscar suddenly tried to kick her, forcing her to move back and get some distance.
"A lot of things shouldn't make sense. Such as a young bounty hunter like yourself being in the same time period as a vampire hunter. Or a Zero far from the future being here. But here we are." Towa replied before Trunks suddenly attacked her, causing her to sport a shocked look on her face as she had to fly back to avoid being hit by his sword.
"Don't concern yourself with them. You should be worried about me!" He said before turning into a Super Saiyan and pursuing her until she decided to fight back.
"Where…. IS….. MY….. DAUGHTER!?" Trudy yelled out before sending an energy blast their way, surprising all of them before X cancelled it out with a buster shot.
"Please, think about this for just a second. I've been on the show with Mr. Proud so I'm sure he at least has somewhat of an idea of how I am. Same with Zoey, who's Penny's friend. Do I or the others look like we'd take your daughter?" Rally said, trying her hardest to not shoot them and only blocking or dodging their attacks.
"It's always the unlikely ones that could do something like that. So yes, you do!" Trudy answered before suddenly teleporting. A second later, she was in front of May and did a flurry of punches before teleporting again and doing the same thing two more times against Richter and Lanolin.
Suga Mama had grabbed Richter before slamming him to the ground with a piledrive, which hurt him more than he thought it would.
"YOU NEXT!" Suga Mama declared, pointing to Becky as her muscles began to get more buff. The others began to follow suit.
"You know, I think I'm going to like this." Papi said in spanish, looking at his muscles before laughing and beginning to send a flurry of dark ki blasts.
"There's no point in trying to reason with them. I understand you may know them, but that doesn't seem to be stopping them from trying to hurt you. We're going to have to take them down!" Zero said as he was battling the Force user, Z-Saber against Lightsaber.
"The only thing we need to do is knock them out so they can get back to normal. We're not trying to kill them." X said to him, using his Rolling Buster shield to keep Papi out, who was continuously attacking the shield with multiple punches and kicks.
"Never said that was my intention. But we are going to have to hurt them whether you like it or not."
"I'll apologize later Mr. Proud." Rally said, dodging an obviously telegraphed punch from him before grabbing him and throwing him to the ground.
"Ow. TRUDAYYYY!"
Trudy turned her attention away from May and the others, hearing her husband call for help.
"I'M COMIN' OSCAR!" In a flash, she teleported in front of Rally. "Get away from my husband you child abductor!"
Richter grabbed her with his whip.
"Take this!" Rally said before throwing a punch straight to her face, hoping to knock her out with it. But that wasn't the case. In fact, only seemed to tick Trudy off even more.
Trudy roared out a mighty yell before breaking free from Richter's grip, an explosion of dark energy coming from her as she knocked Rally back. The sleeves from her clothes began to tear from her muscles getting even bigger as she had an angry look on her face, flowing with energy. Rally was suddenly grabbed from behind by Oscar.
"You're gonna tell me where my daughter is, even if I gotta beat the ever-lovin' brakes off you to do it!" Trudy said before punching her numerous times.
"Rally, close your eyes!" May yelled out as she had just blinded Puff and Papi. Having a good idea of what her friend was about to do, Rally did as she was told and a couple of seconds later, an explosion was seen, one that caused Trudy and Oscar to cover their eyes.
"TRUDAYY! I CAN'T SEE!" Oscar yelled out. "I THINK I'M GOIN' BLIND!"
"That's what happens almost every time I see your mother." Papi remarked in Spanish, laughing even though he was blind himself.
"I CAN'T SEE EITHER OSCAR! Just make sure you don't lose her! I'm not done with her yet!" Trudy replied.
"Uh….. about that." Oscar started.
"OSCAR!"
"I'M SORRY! IT JUST HURTS!"
"WHEN I GET MY EYESIGHT BACK…" Trudy growled out.
"Papi! Puff!" Suga Mama yelled out.
"What about me momma?" Oscar asked out loud, still blinded.
"I guess you too."
A loud ringing was heard, causing everyone to cover their ears in pain, including Towa and Trunks. The source was Lanolin, who had her own ears covered.
Suga Mama, fighting through the pain, grabbed Lanolin before spinning her around like a lasso and then throwing her into Richter.
"Not again!" Richter said before being he was picked up and sent into the air. He was then spun around for a 360 piledriver by Suga Mama as if she was Zangief. Even with the seemingly crushing slam to the ground by her, Richter wasn't about to call it quits, getting up and jumping back to create some space before jumping into the air.
"Forgive me, but I have no choice! Let this holy water cleanse this area of all evil!" Richter declared before showing the might of a Belmont as he yelled sending out a storm of holy water, burning the four under the dark influence and Towa herself, causing all of them to yell in out in pain from the burning sensation of the Holy Water landing on her skin, allowing Trunks to gain the upper hand in his fight with the latter, grabbing her. The only one being unaffected was the masked warrior who used a Force barrier to protect himself.
"Your reign of terror across history is over!" Trunks declared before the masked warrior used one hand to push Trunks away with a Force push before doing the same thing with Richter.
The Supreme Kai of Time herself suddenly appeared. "That's enough!"
She created multiple balls of energy and sent them all at every enemy in the area. Everyone but Towa was hit. And that was due to the masked warrior using a Force Barrier to protect her.
Towa, still in pain from the Holy Water, quickly teleported the both of them out to escape.
The Prouds and Papi were heard yelling from being shocked by X via Lightning Webs from Web Spider, continuously shocking while they were all trapped in the nets.
"Papi! Help me! I can't get out!" Suga Mama yelled out.
"I knew I shouldn't have decided to hang with those three. But….. seeing that beautiful white-haired woman was worth it. And I don't mean the one calling out for help." Papi remarked before laughing. He was knocked out by the Supreme Kai of Time seconds later, along with the Prouds. She then proceeded to wipe all of their memories, along with knocking Richter unconscious too.
Afterwards, she sighed. "She's certainly not making this easy that's for sure. Subjecting normal, innocent people to this and lying to them? She's only making her crime list lengthier and lengthier. Come on back to the Time Vault. And make sure you bring those four with you. Because Towa brought them here, if we leave them, they'll get erased from existence."
Time Vault
"I just wonder how she was able to convince them that that really was the case." Trunks said after they returned.
"I don't know. But regardless of what it was, it worked. That's all that matters. When it comes to protecting the people you care about, it doesn't take much convincing." Supreme Kai of Time said.
"True."
"Another thing is how she was able to figure out where Zero and Richter came from. Something that we might find out about soon as I don't think this is a one-time thing."
"What about them?" Rally asked, referring to the Prouds and Papi.
"I erased all of their memories from this encounter. Once I bring them to where they belong, it'll be as if none of this ever happened for them. That includes Towa's lies. And their transformations. I only knocked out Richter just so we wouldn't have another straggler. Speaking of stragglers, I've made my decision on Dipper and the others. I'll allow them to stay and help. But, once this is over, all of them are going to have to go back to where they belong."
"Thanks. I really appreciate it." Dipper said.
"Thank me when all of this is over."
"Sweet. I'll make sure to tell Ryu the good news when he comes back."
"Tell me what?" Ryu asked, coming back in a green gi with a black undershirt under it and white boots.
"That we can help out. Also, man is it weird not seeing you in white."
"They didn't seem to have anything in white that resembled my old outfit. So I chose this one. All of it came in a set, so I had to take the boots as well. I thought they would have felt like a chore to move in for combat, but they actually seem to have no effect when I tried a few of my attacks."
"Define 'attacks'." Supreme Kai of Time said suspiciously before Blake suddenly returned, an unconscious Octavia in hand.
"Supreme Kai of Time! You have to help her! Please!" Blake said, rushing to her.
"What happened? Where are the others?" She asked.
"They're fine. They said I could go back and bring her to you while they took care of the rest. Octavia she….. took in some type of…. dark energy. Green dark energy. Her body was flowing with it for a few seconds until she said her heart felt like it was beating out of her chest. And then she started to go out. Please, help her."
"Green dark energy. Towa must have did this!" Trunks said.
"No, I don't think this was Towa. I saw what she was talking about. I think I could have absorbed it too but, once I saw what it did to her, I didn't. None of us did."
"Okay, I'll see what I can do." Supreme Kai of Time said.
"Thank you."
"I wish there was more I could do to help. You're just being pulled everywhere at once." Trunks said.
"You already are helping. By keeping an eye on these events like I am. Unfortunately, these types of risks come with something like this." Supreme Kai of Time said to him before turning to Blake. "You might want to head back. If you've got the scroll, the others are going to need it to come back."
"Right. Thanks again." She replied.
Space; Inside the Interceptor(Green Lantern The Animated Series)
Razer had just come out of the area where the Green Lantern battery inside the ship was located. This battery also doubling as the power source for the ship as well.
"The Manhunters must have ruptured the flow valves to the impellors. Can you repair them?" Razer asked her.
Aya began to insert one of her hands into the terminal she was working on. "Directing energy to affected systems. Rebuilding. The damage is considerable. But nothing that cannot be fixed."
"I see that." Razer responded.
Aya, still in her makeshift Manhunter body, turned around from the terminal to face Razer.
"These new allies are quite interesting. And unexpected. I am unable to determine where they originate from."
"Maybe them helping us is all that matters."
"Yes. I suppose you are correct. But, I believe the Anti-Monitor believes otherwise. I have come up with the most logical reasoning for why he would stop. He was attempting to figure out where they could have possibly come from. Not even he expected an attack from a source such as that one."
"I noticed you stop working on the ship. Even though I believe that you really came up with that reasoning, you wouldn't stop to tell me just that. What is it that you really want to talk to me about?"
"I….. did not want to tell the others this but…. when I was outside, I saw someone that I believed had a similar appearance to you. There is also the chance that my vision is incorrect. Perhaps due to the damaged Manhunter optics. But I am 90 percent certain that I am correct."
"The 10 percent must be the correct percentage then. There is no one left but me from my home world."
"Yes. I suppose you are right. You showed me that personally. Which….. leads me to the other thing that I wanted to ask you about. In private. When I last saw you. You told me that you loved me."
"I…. did."
"Is my appearance disconcerting. I believe I can rectify that problem." Aya looked up before a hatch opened seconds later, dropping down parts that made up her original body. "Since my unfortunate meeting with Atrocitus, I've created a supply of apre parts for myself." She transferred herself into the parts to make up her new body. "There. This is better correct?"
Razer was unsure how to respond. "I…"
"In my studies of emotion, it seems a great deal of what is called love, is predicated in how one looks."
"That is…. incorrect. Sometimes… true love….is different."
"I am unsure how to process this. I require more information. What type of love do you have for me? True love? Or some other love?"
Razer looks away before turning around completely, looking down and closing his eyes before balling his left fist. "I…. I do not love you. At all. I cannot."
"That is not consistent with your actions, and what you've stated recently."
Razer sighed internally before facepalming and responding with, "I…. I was confused. I believe it was because of the form you've taken. I thought, believed I was feeling….love. But if I do, it's not for you. It's for the memory of my dear Ilana. You may have built yourself in her image, but you are not her. You are just a machine. And therefore, I….cannot love you. I…. could never love you. I am….so sorry." He walked away before heading to the upper level of the ship to rejoin the others.
"Processing…. Processing… Processing….."
"It is a moment that I am wholeheartedly ashamed of. And returning here, if I must be honest, renews the pain of those memories." Present Razer explained outside to his teammates, referring to the exchange that was taking place between his past self and Aya.
"That's why you didn't want to be inside the ship with the others. Not because you were concerned with meeting your past self….. but because of that." Zal said.
"Yes. But I believe you're missing the whole story. I also declined to enter because I knew that if I did….. things would be different. Intentional or unintentional. By that, I mean history. I, or my past self, would have tried to change history. Prevent this from happening. It is a moment that I am not proud of. One that I wish I could take back. But, I know that I can't."
"But if you did, things should turn out for the better. The Anti-Monitor threat is gone for good and she wouldn't-" Luz started.
"You don't know that!" Present Razer snapped, raising his voice, which caught her off guard. Razer, immediately realizing what he did, calmed himself and lowered his voice. "No one….. knows that. Which is why I will not attempt to change it. Why I cannot. Where there are good outcomes and consequences, there are ones that are just as bad. If not worse."
"Like one where Aya doesn't stop the Anti-Monitor. And one where you all ultimately lose." Zak inferred.
Razer only nodded in agreement.
They arrived at their destination, where a battalion of Red Lantern ships awaited them.
"Looks like we're here." Sophie said, realizing the Interceptor and all of the ships had stopped. And less than a minute later, the Anti-Monitor and his Manhunter forces had also caught up.
Razer closed his eyes before opening them again, seconds later, to prepare for the battle at hand.
A battle that he didn't have much time to prepare for as seconds later, the shooting started from all sides.
All of them began to shoot at any Manhunter in their path.
"Crazy how twice there's been two full-on space battles this season. And we're supposed to believe this season is supposed to be more tame than the other ones out there?" Zak said, spinning around multiple shots and taking out a couple of Manhunters at once before grabbing the staff of one of them and driving it into the chest of a third after getting behind it.
"Except the last one was virtual. Which made it more fun because you won't die for real. This? We can actually die, die!" Luz said as she destroyed four Manhunters before she was almost hit by a Red Lantern ship. "Hey! We're on your side!"
"They may be aware of that, but they can only do so much to avoid friendly fire in a battle like this. You're just going to have to keep moving!" Razer said, using a red-lantern constructed blade to quickly slice through several Manhunters while using a blue-lantern constructed shield to block shots.
"Fire at will! Fire at will!" Hal called out inside the Interceptor as he used his piloting experience to avoid being blown apart.
"Trust me, I think we're definitely doin' that, Jordan!" Kilowog replied.
"These are a lot of Manhunters!" Zak remarked.
"I think we've already established that!" Sophie replied, using her own magic based attacks to take out the Manhunters.
"Fire, fire, FIRE!" Zox yelled out to the Red Lantern pilot on the cruiser he was on.
"Watch it Hal!" Kilowog said as the Interceptor shook.
"I know, I know! I got this!" Hal replied.
Aya had suddenly gotten up from the chair she was sitting in. "Razer."
"Aya, we have much to speak of, but now is not a good time!" Past Razer replied.
"Yes, I am aware but, I must ask, what would you do if your emotions were interfering with your performance?"
"Simple, I only think of the job at hand. I shut down everything else."
"Shut down everything else…." Aya said, processing Razer's answer. She then looked at her other crewmates Kilowog and Hal.
"Darn it! I'm gonna need more power!" Kilowog said before putting the fist that had his ring into a terminal to increase weapon power with it. "Aya, Razer! I'm gonna need your help here!"
"On it!" Razer replied.
"Kilowog, you alright?" Hal asked.
"Yeah. I got! I got it! Just keep control of the ship!" Kilowog replied before he saw Aya standing up looking at them.
"Aya! What's the matter? Get back to your station!" Hal said, which caused Razer to look back.
Aya suddenly saw that Penny was behind her. "I did not expect your appearance here. I have a question for you. In private."
"Private? Aya, I get this might be a bonding moment for you two, but it's gonna have to wait." Hal said.
"It will be quick. I promise. Please."
Hal took a few seconds before answering. "Fine. But make it quick! Razer, Kilowog, do you think you guys can cover for her for just a little bit?"
"Yeah!" Kilowog answered with Razer nodding.
Both Penny and Aya moved to the room behind them.
"You are a machine like me. Do you know what 'love' means?" Aya asked.
"Yes. Although I have never expressed love in the same way for someone as you have, some of my friends have."
"If you have never experienced it yourself, then how can you comprehend what it is?"
"Just because I have never expressed love in the same way as you, does not mean I do not have a comprehension for what love is. There are different types of love for different people. Different relationships. For example, love for friends. And family. I have experienced both of those."
"Which do you think Razer expresses? He told me that he does not love me. His words have continued to replay in memory banks. I have told Hal about this as well. While I can infer he genuinely is concerned for me, the context of the situation at hand makes his answer seem somewhat… rushed."
"I…" She looks down for a couple of seconds before looking back up at Aya and answering. "I….. am not sure."
"Do either of these apply to Hal Jordan and Kilowog?"
"Well, what do you think?"
Aya didn't answer the question right away.
"Razer has told me that when his emotions get in the way of him performing to the best of his ability, he shuts down everything else and worries about only the job at hand. Do you agree with his advice?"
"I do not."
"What do you suggest I should do? I want to help them defeat the Anti-Monitor. But, I know that I cannot do that in my current state. I did not tell them this but…. if things continue on this path, I predict that we will not be able to win this battle."
"I have heard that sometimes people make tough decisions for the ones they love. Even if it hurts. But it is because people love them that they are willing to subject themselves to this."
"That seems…. Illogical."
"Maybe it is. But, I've also learned that not everything can be made sense of with simple logic."
Aya takes time to process this response. "I see. Thank you. Despite this being our only interaction, I very much enjoyed it."
"Me too."
Aya returned to the front of the ship.
"Took ya long enough! What were ya doin' back there, gossipin'?" Kilowog said to her.
"I now know what I must do. For the sake of my crew mates. For the sake of the ones that I love. And for the sake of every world that exists." Her body flashed a bit before her movements looked less natural and more…. robotic.
"What? What's that supposed to mean? Aya, where are you going!?" Hal said to her. Unfortunately, neither he nor anyone else were in any position to stop her as they needed to focus on the battle.
The ship had suddenly stopped in place due to it losing power.
"What happened in there?" Present Razer asked Luz as she had returned back visible.
"Don't worry. She didn't seem to have changed anything. Everything's going….. exactly as it should." Luz said, a bit of somberness in her voice. She was watching the whole exchange inside the ship while invisible, debating on whether to stop her but decided to wait and see how things were played before she did.
He then looked back at Penny, who didn't seem to look happy either.
Suddenly, blue energy waves completely tearing through multiple ships was seen. And it wasn't from the Anti-Monitor.
"Not now….." Present Razer said before being the first to fly towards the sources, with the others following. When they got closer, those sources were revealed to have been Bardock, and another masked warrior, who turned their attention to Razer and the others. And joining the Time Breakers seconds later through a wormhole were Saibamen.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1 & 2 Soundtrack – Space Planet Vegeta Theme Plays
"Ki ki ki kiii!" One of the Saibamen said.
"We must not let them get to the Interceptor!" Razer said to the others.
All of the Time Breakers teleported and began to strike at them rapidly numerous times, forcing them on the defense and eventually breaking them.
"Bardock, if you can hear me-" Luz started before being grabbed by her leg and then thrown down into several Manhunters. After destroying them, she flew back to rejoin the others.
"There's no way you really tried that." Zak said to her.
"Well, no one else did. You never know."
"No offense, but I could have told you that wasn't going to work." Sophie said as she blew a hole in a Saibaman's chest, killing it.
"Again, it was worth a try. Okay, real plan this time." She disappeared from sight, going invisible again.
Razer used an energy shield to stop one of them from grabbing onto him to self-destruct, causing it to blow up on the shield instead. "Hopefully whatever she has planned now is effective."
Penny summoned her array of blades at Bardock, who flew to dodge them all, but they circled back around at him. With the help of Razer grabbing him with two red and blue hands to hold him in place, Penny shot lasers from the arrays. But it would all be ineffective as Bardock created a dark explosive wave from his body, destroying the red and blue constructs and neutralizing the lasers.
Meanwhile, Boltflare and one-handed Kamehameha collide from Sophie and the masked warrior respectively, with the latter calling on more magical power to try to drive the former's beam back. But even with that, the masked warrior started to overpower her before the Kamehameha connected. Luckily for her, she wasn't blown to bits thanks to the armor protecting her.
Now it was Zak's turn. After knocking away a Saibaman, he attempted to go one-on-one with him. But that proved to have been a mistake as he could punch and defend way faster than Zak could. After punching him in the gut, the masked warrior went behind him and elbowed him in the back of his head.
An explosion was heard behind them, causing everyone to turn their attention towards it, including Razer, Penny and Bardock, with Razer and Bardock clashing sword with elbow respectively.
Music Stops
The source was Aya, full of Green Lantern energy, flying into the Anti-Monitor's body and blowing its head right off. A Saibaman latched onto Penny during the commotion and prepared to explode. Realizing what was happening, Zak tried to pull it off with his claw, but it wouldn't be enough.
"NO!" Razer yelled out before he channeled his red ring to punch Bardock and send him flying while the other masked warrior was suddenly reaching for something. That something being Luz, who was invisible, on their face, trying to pull the mask off.
"Come on! Why won't you come off!?" Luz said before the masked warrior was finally able to grab her and throw her off before sending a ki blast her way, but Sophie was able to put up a barrier to block it. "Thanks. Good thing I had a plan B."
Said plan B exploded right on the masked warrior's face. And while it did connect, it didn't give the result she was hoping.
"It's just a mask! What are those things made of!?"
Both he and Bardock were hit by the Interceptor that was sent flying before it was grabbed by Razer, having to tap in the power of both of his rings just to keep a grip on the ship before he held it to a complete stop.
Trunks appeared beside him afterwards.
"Sorry I'm late." Trunks said before focusing his attention on the two masked warriors.
After recovering, both Bardock and the Masked Warrior saw Trunks in the distance before Mira suddenly appeared! Afterwards, the two masked warriors elected to leave, teleporting out of the time period.
"Mira." Trunks said before turning to the others. "Get Penny and get out of here!"
"No way. We're not all running. Eventually we're going to have to fight him, right? I say some of us stay." Luz replied.
"I haven't come here to fight." Mira replied.
"Then forgive me for being skeptical." Trunks said.
"If that really were the case, I would have attacked you by now. Did you ever think about that?"
Luz and Razer attempted to attack him with fire and red energy blasts respectively but he used Android 17's Android Barrier to completely neutralize them, but did nothing to counter afterwards.
Trunks was still on his guard, but he'd play Mira's game for now. "Okay, then what exactly do you want?"
"With how weak your allies are, they have nothing to offer me."
"So you got that off blocking a couple of attacks?" Zak asked, remnants of Penny's body in hand before Mira suddenly disappeared. "Hey! I was talking to you!"
"Come on, let's head back." Trunks said to the others before they all left the timeline.
Jack's Home(Samurai Jack)
Jack and Sam's swords collided with one another.
"Your blade hungers for blood, yet you refuse to oblige it's desire! Why?" Sam asked him. "You attack, yet avoid striking me or the others down!"
"If that is what you believe, then you couldn't be more wrong about this sword." Jack replied.
Sam didn't seem bothered by Jack's response at all. In fact, he seemed intrigued. "Only time will tell. The history of this battle will decide who's right."
"Then we intend to make sure we're on the right side of it."
Sam was hit in the face by...Giamoth? Though it wasn't enough to knock him down though as it only staggered him before the machine landed on the ground and then circled back around to face Sam.
"Resigned to sending in toys to fight?" Sam said before scoffing at the idea before Falgor also joined in. "Oh yes. A second one will make so much of a difference."
"Underestimate these 'insignificant toys' at your peril." Jack said to him.
"Find then. I'll reduce the both of you to scrap!" He puts his sword into the ground, which sent several rocks towards the machines. But instead of them trying to dodge them like he expected, Falgor instead spun around, creating a wind strong enough to destroy the rocks, while Giamoth sent its own flaming meteor-like rocks at Sam via its Meteor Impact move. Though of course, the rocks were nowhere near as large as the ones he sent at them.
Sam only snickered and got into a guarding stance, only to be surprised at the explosions they caused. While they weren't enough to hurt him, the impact was stronger than he expected.
"Clever little machines. And stronger than I thought too. But still, no match for me!" Sam advanced forward faster than any speed the two machines could achieve and prepared to slice them in half with ease but was stopped by Diego via the two energy blades he wielded from the Brawling Gauntlets. The second one being the one that Libby gave him. "Are you really wishing for death this early child? You have so much more time to live!"
Diego, grunting, was trying his best to hold him back but Sam's enhanced Cybernetic strength, his own and the strength granted from Towa's magic made what he was doing a losing effort.
Thankfully for him, Bass blasted him out of the way after defeating Donatello.
"Thanks." Diego said to him.
"I'll handle him." Bass simply said. And judging by how he was looking, he didn't look like he could be convinced otherwise.
Sam got his bearings again after getting up. "Seems like everyone wants a slice of my pie. Too bad I'm not in the mood to share!" Sam said, jumping high into the air, with Jack following suit. Both of them battled in the air.
"Looks like you're better than I gave you credit for. Your jumping skills at least." Sam said to him.
"And it seems you can jump as good." Jack replied.
"Good?" Sam repeated before laughing as they landed on the ground. While he did, he avoided the attack from Bass before tripping him up. "I'm busy."
Bass grunted, not happy at how he casually brushed him off before attacking him again. Sam backflipped out of the way of the shot before dashing in to finish off Bass quickly. And permanently until Jack stopped him, forcing him to jump high backwards before landing on the ground perfectly.
"It seems like none of you know a good fight when you see one." Sam said.
"Well, I apologize for not following the unspoken rules of the man that is trying to kill us all." Jack replied.
"Unfortunately, there was no chance for us to battle one-on-one with your friends helping."
"If you just wanted to fight, why handle it like this? I would have been more than happy to spar with you if that's really what you wanted."
Sam chuckled. "Well, when you put it that way…."
Leonardo suddenly intervened, attacking Jack until Sam suddenly grabbed him and sliced him up multiple times before hitting him with an uppercut.
"You fool! What are you doing!?" Leonardo said. Although he was definitely hurt, the foot clan armor and the power granted from Towa ensured that he wasn't killed.
"Did I ask for your help?"
"I'm doing what's necessary to complete our mission!"
"Get in my way again, and I won't be so merciful."
"Fine…." Leonardo grumbled.
"Hey! Don't think I'm done with you!" Kaz said, multiple bruises seen on his face, but still standing and ready to fight.
"You again. Haven't you had enough?"
"There's no way you're the turtles that I met. Because if that were the case, you'd know that I'm not the type of guy to give up that easy!"
"But you will be the type of guy that'll be dead soon!" He replied, drawing his katanas again to face him.
Kaz chuckled. He was definitely in pain. But with how he was acting, it was hard to tell. "Well, it looks like you haven't done a good job of doing that so far have you?"
Insulted, Leonardo ran at him as the two reengaged in battle once again.
Meanwhile, Jeanne had gotten the upper hand on Asta via Witch Time. Every time Asta tried to attack, she looked to have always been moving slightly faster than he could, always feeling just out of reach.
Evading out of the way of a punch, she sweeps him off his feet before kicking him in the back as he was still mid-air.
"You never had a chance against me, boy. Your attacks are stronger than anyone would think. Myself included. But it doesn't matter if you can't even touch me!" Jeanne said.
"The worst part is, she's right. I can't seem to touch her! It's like she's just out of my reach every time now. She can even get around me anticipating her attacks too." Asta thought. "I don't have plans on giving up though! But I'm gonna have to come up with something fast. No one said this was going to be easy. I just gotta push through and find a way!"
"You can forget about coming up with any plans to beat me. I've shown you that I have multiple attacks at my disposal, unlike you on the other hand. You have no answer to my Witch Time. Now it's a matter of when, not if you go down."
"Guess neither of us will know until I try huh?" Asta replied, getting back up.
"And then fail." Jeanne pulled out her All 4 One pistols once again and shot them at him.
Ashi, now using a pocket knife, continued to battle with Slashuur.
"For a so-called mercenary, you haven't exactly proven you are worth whatever you were paid." Ashi said.
"Spare me the false bravado. One of these next few hits will be all I need to silence you. Permanently. Your husband was more of a challenge." Slashuur replied.
"Too bad it seems like he doesn't feel the same way."
"You'll both be dead anyway, so it doesn't matter how he feels now, does it?" Slashuur said, looking out the corner of his eye from in front and behind him at the fights that were taking place before he began to quickly gather and then dispel purple dark energy around him in a large circular area. "Haaaaaaaaaah!"
Ashi, Jeanne, Sam, Jack, Leonardo, Kaz, and Diego were feeling weaker by the second.
"What….. are you doing to us…." Sam asked weakly, unable to even move from how weak his body was.
"Can't…. move…" Jack said, trying to jump but his body was responding.
"As Leonardo said, getting the job done." Slashuur said as their life force gradually came to him and his scythe before he extended the energy to reach Kunigami and Raphael, who were still battling with one another, and Bass, Michelangelo and Donatello as well.
"At the cost of taking us with them!?" Jeanne said in disbelief. "Impossible…. I can't even use my Witch Time…. How strong is this ability?" She thought as she dropped down to one knee, feeling the life being sucked out of her.
"It's over!" Slashuur exclaimed as Jeanne, Ashi, Leonardo, Kaz and Diego began to go unconscious, with the others not too far behind. Well, everyone but Bass, who used his Wave Burner weapon to set him on fire, causing him to yell out in pain from the fire. And also causing the draining field to disappear, causing the last bit of energy that he would have drained to go back to everyone.
"That trick might work on everyone else, but that doesn't work against me. Now burn!" Bass said, burning him even more, causing Slashuur to continue to yell out in pain before eventually, the dark energy overshadowing him subsided.
Taking some water, Bass splashed him with it to get rid of the flames. After several seconds, Slashuur's stomach section opened, revealing his true form, that of an Utrom, just like the Shredder. Though in Slashuur's case, he was blue and had red slashes across his face.
"Well, it appears that I am going to need a new exoskeleton." He commented.
"What? All of that power and this is who you really are!?" Bass said in disbelief.
"Shocking isn't it? I am an Utrom. I apologize for what has transpired here today. I was told by Towa that the ones that I'd be sent to kill would be ruthless. Merciless. Clearly that is not the case. And clearly she did more to me than promise me a hefty reward for this job. My mind, my judgement was clouded. No…. corrupted by selfishness and-"
"You can save the rest of your apology speech and you can tell me whether the others will live instead."
"Yes. They're all alive. But, it may take some time for some of them to come to."
Bass began to gather the others around him so he could leave. "I understand you do not care to hear my apology, but I would at least like to make up for what happened by helping you." Slashuur said.
"Considering how you are now, you're not in any position to be asking to 'help'." Bass replied.
"I am capable of traveling back to my own period. However, there is no guarantee that my memories will travel along for the ride."
"And that's my problem how?"
"Well for one, you don't exactly have enough hands to carry everyone and not risk leaving someone behind."
"Tch." Bass knew that he had a point.
With how the robot looked, Slashuur knew that he had him. Helping Bass in carrying the others, they both prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Jack called out. Seeing that they were about to still leave anyway, Jack, Ashi in hand, quickly jumped over to them before they could leave.
When Bass returned to the Time Vault, he returned with way more than just his teammates.
Supreme Kai of Time sighed. "You guys are really pushing my leniency huh?"
"Oh. It's you." Jack said, remembering the Supreme Kai of Time from the bad food challenge from Multiverse Edition. "If you don't mind, I would like to help as well alongside Slashuur. I already have experience with evil similar to what you all are facing. And traveling through time. If I have the strength to help stop it, then I will lend it."
She sighed again. "Alright, alright, fine. Go ahead. Also, go ahead and bring them over here."
"They're actually fine. Slashuur said they'll come to eventually." Bass said before Asta was the first to do so and realized where they were.
"Wait, how did we win?" Asta asked before seeing Slashuur and immediately jumping back on the defensive.
"Don't worry. I won't fight you anymore. Instead, I'll be helping you as well." Slashuur said. "And if you want to know how you all won, it's simply due to Bass being a robot. And therefore being unaffected by the life-draining abilities of Gengetsu."
"Gengetsu. That must be the name of your weapon." Jack concluded.
"Correct. A weapon that I won't be able to use to the best of its ability until I get a new suit. I have plenty more back at my own time period but….."
"If you know the Time Period, I'll be able to take you there. Come on." Trunks said to him.
"Thank you. I very much appreciate it."
"Yo, Jack! Sup man! How's life back home?" Chris asked him.
"Good. I was not aware that you were doing another season." Jack replied.
"Yep, that pretty much confirms you got pulled from a time after you came on the show."
"Yes. Is that a problem?"
"Nope. Just an observation. A cool observation actually. Too bad we can't say the same for Dipper."
"Dipper? He's here as well? Just how many returned to compete here? And…. for that matter, why did you make something like this a challenge?"
"Long story. All I gotta say is, good luck! And also, for the audience, here's the scores!"
Breakers: 35
Kings: 33
Rats: 29
"As you can see, the teams are smashin' through these events. The best they can anyway. Some of em are definitely gonna feel it when this is all said and done." Chris said as some of them returned.
"Yeah. Must be nice to not have to do any of this 'cause you're the host." Sendo remarked as he, Kagami, Rei and Falcon all returned from their event. Though the third member of their group shrieked as soon as she saw the detached upper half of a Fulgore unit's body latched onto her leg before she kicked it away. Her yelling caused the others to be on edge as well, with Kagami taking the scroll and bashing it on the head numerous times.
"Why…. won't…. you…. just….. die you stupid robots!?" He yelled out as he did.
"It was already dead." Falcon remarked before letting out a breath of relief.
"Oh. Whew."
"Had us on edge for nothin'." Sendo said.
"Well excuse me for having natural human emotions." Rei replied.
Octavia was heard coughing, causing Chris, the Supreme Kai of Time, and everyone else that was in the Vault at the time had turned towards her.
"Octavia! Glad to see you're alright!" Dwayne remarked as he, Doyle and Reagan had all returned from their last event as well, which was helping Team Avatar escape Combustion Man, AKA Sparky Sparky Boom Man. Though chasing them as well were multiple T-1000 Terminator units. He then cleared his throat at Doyle and Reagan, where the former was holding the latter.
"Huh?" Doyle said confused before immediately putting her down. "Oh. Uh….. you're not tired anymore right?"
"Yeah! Yeah, I'm fine…. So uh….. how's Octavia doing?" Reagan said, grabbing the back of her neck, both of them clearly embarrassed at what everyone that was in the Time Vault was seeing.
"Yeah. I…." Octavia suddenly gasped. "The others! Where happened to them!? Are they alright?"
"Yep, they're good. As of right now, they're helping John Wick, Shadow and Neo fight off an army of Smiths and killer cyber ninjas. Ninjas that look like they're from Mortal Kombat. No, I'm serious. Never thought I'd be saying that on a Total Drama episode but, here we are." Chris said.
"I mean, I fought Keanu Reeves at one point so….." Reagan said.
"You what!?" Doyle, Chris and Dwayne said simultaneously.
"Yeah. Hard to believe but it actually happened. Kinda one reason I don't really have too much of a reaction. I mean, with what I've heard you guys deal with, fighting a celebrity is tame. No, it wasn't just a regular fist-to-fist street fight. There were swords and everything. Y-you know the stuff Asta, Zak and the rest of you usually do."
"Okay, that's completely fair but why the heck were you fighting Keanu Reeves?" Dwayne asked as Doyle got the next scroll for them.
"He was dating my mom."
"Oh. Yeah that's gotta be awkward."
"It's more than that. Apparently he and several other actors have been secretly using the blood of young women to keep them young."
"Okay, that's definitely a reach." Becky F. commented as she returned with her own teammates.
"MGK and Megan Fox would like to have a word with you. Anyways, you guys doing okay? Well, not okay enough to beat us but…. you know."
"Well, everyone's alive."
"Timeout. What do you mean by Megan Fox and Kelly? What happened to those two?" Hailey asked, returning with her group and overhearing some of their conversation. She was grouped with Scott, Virgil, Eijun, Miyuki and Furuya.
"I literally just said it. Except it's mutual. And it's not to keep each other young. It's just because. J-just watch the interview online." Reagan said to her.
"No thanks. I think you've convinced me not to."
"Yeah. I don't blame you. And people say I'm crazy. Or weird. I'm socially awkward not a creep. There's a big difference. No guys, the Keanu Reeves from your universes are probably not like that. At least…. I hope not. Anyway, moving on!"
"Alright, weird situation aside, who won?" Doyle asked.
"Goddamn it Doyle! I said we're moving on!"
"I'm sorry! I was curious!"
"Kinda wanna say I did. I had him up against it, about to drive a stake into him." She noticed that Doyle wasn't paying attention to anything she was saying anymore, only focusing on what was happening in the scroll.
"What's up? What's going…." She saw what was happening in the event.
"Yeah." Doyle said.
"I'm not sure if this is a good-" Dwayne started before Reagan cut him off.
"It's fine. History is history. It has to be fixed like everything else."
Doyle closed the scroll before they began to leave to said point in history.
"Must be something real personal for her. I think we'll take a look. But first, let's see what's going on here. We've got a raging storm going on, and everyone's still fightin'! Wanna know what I'm talking about? Ask and ye shall receive!"
Battle of Calypso's Maelstrom, 1729(Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End)
Pirates of the Caribbean Soundtrack: Maelstrom (film version) Plays
A battle was taking place in a raging storm in the seas. Four pirate ships could be seen in the storm. Jack Sparrow, Nathan Drake, Davy Jones, Rafe Adler, and the skeleton warrior Spinal were the most notable ones battling in the storm.
And several of them, with the exception of Nate and Jack Sparrow, were under the hold of Towa's dark magic. And Sparrow's crew were beginning to be overrun by Spinal's skeleton crew.
"Jesus Rafe! Look what's happening out here! And you're willing to die, for this!?" Drake said to Rafe.
"Seems like a lot of people are. You included." Jack Sparrow said, battling Davy Jones above him on one of the sails.
"Would you be quiet? You're not helping!" Nate called out, attempting to avoid a sword strike from Rafe, which failed as he hit him on the side. "Ah! Jeez."
"Like I haven't heard that one a thousand times." Jack replied, ducking a lunge from Davy Jones before countering with his own sword strike.
"When I'm through with ya, the only thing that be heard about you is your eulogy!" Davy Jones said.
"Difference between you and me is, I'll actually be around to hear yours. Not the other way around."
Davy Jones charged him, catching Jack off guard before causing them to fall to the bottom of the ship.
"Rafe. Buddy." Nate started to plead, sliding past him to avoid getting put into a corner.
"Buddy? BUDDY!? YOU STABBED ME IN THE BACK!" Rafe yelled out. "Last time I checked, buddies, friends, don't do that now do they?"
"Ooh. I should uh…. leave you two to work that ou-" Sparrow started, beginning to move out of the way of the two before Rafe attacked him and Davy Jones as well, forcing the both of them to dodge the slices. "Okay, I can kinda understand him, but I don't even know you!"
"Maybe you don't… but you and squidface over there are in my way too…." Rafe replied, pointing his sword at the both of them.
"Who do ya think you are?" Davy Jones said to him.
"I'm the man that's about to kill every single person here that gets in my way."
"No…. you're the person that's looking for a death wish!" Davy Jones said before attacking him as a four-way(really three-way as Nate had no weapon) began.
"Hey uh, you don't happen to have an extra one of those do ya?" Nate asked Captain Jack, referring to his sword.
"And have you stab me in the back? Literally? Get your own." Jack replied, trying to keep back both Rafe and Davy Jones.
The skeleton warrior Spinal suddenly climbed up on the ship.
Spinal's Komplete Dynamic Theme - Killer Instinct Soundtrack
As the storm raged on, the skeleton began to slowly approach, sword and shield in hand.
"Alright, what's it gonna be? Friend or foe?" Jack asked.
"YAAA HAHAHAHAHAA!" Spinal laughed wickedly as a small red glow was seen in his eyes.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you over the…. I can't even do the laugh I'll end up blowin' out my vocal cords." He quickly rolled out of the way to avoid his sword attack. He sighed. "Least you let me finish. Guess when people say 'Chivalry is dead', they were right!" Jack said before Rafe suddenly attacked him as well.
"Okay, can we all agree to go back to killing each other after we get rid of the skeleton pirate?" Nate asked as Jack secretly moved a sword his way with his foot, only glancing back at him just a bit so as to not give it away.
"Shut up Nate." Rafe said to him in a seemingly warning tone as he kept an eye on everyone as he slowly circled around the boat.
"Come on, it was just a suggestion! A good one but still."
"I said….. SHUT….UP!"
A flash of bright light was suddenly seen, causing everyone to turn their attention towards it. The second Rafe turned his head, Nate tackled him to the ground and tried to keep him pinned with the sword that Jack helped give him.
The ones that appeared were Tsukishima, Myron, Hinata, Kageyama and Richie.
Spinal, while initially intending to go after Davy Jones, went after the newcomers instead, causing all four of them to yell, terrified as they all moved out of the way of the sword strike. What they didn't expect was for him to send three flying skulls at them from his shield which knocked all of them back.
Davy and Rafe overpowered Jack and Nate respectively.
"I can see it on your face Nate. You think this is my fault! I warned you multiple times. Gave you several chances to get out of this alive. And what did you do? And now, after all this. Right at the end! When the treasure is literally right there in our faces! You suddenly want to walk away? I don't believe that one bit Nate, you're lying again!"
He, Spinal and Davy Jones were suddenly encased in metal bands. The culprit: Gear's Mark II Zap Caps. This allowed for Nate and Captain Jack to get their opponents off them. Jack, Dead Man's Chest in hand, smiled at him.
"What are you smiling about! You'll never be able to open the chest without the key!"
"Quite the contrary. I have it." Captain Jack said, preparing to reach for them. Or at least pretend this was the case.
"No you don't." Jones replied smugly, using one of the tentacles on his face to pull out the actual key.
"Oh, that one." Jack said before quickly slicing the tentacles that held the key off, to Jones' horror as he realized that he had been tricked.
The key fell on the ground and Jack and Jones began to play footsies for it, the latter having no choice as he was still trapped.
Both Spinal and Rafe yelled and roared out respectively, breaking free of their restraints, with the explosion sending everyone in the immediate area flying back and almost knocking off Tsukishima. Hinata was able to help him up as Richie, Myron and Kageyama tried their best to hold off Davy Jones' crew.
"Thanks." Tsukishima said to him.
"Any time." Hinata replied. "Now let's help out the others."
For Jones, a couple of his crew members tried to get his restraints free but couldn't as the material proved to have been too strong. He turned and saw that Jack had the key, which caused him to break out of his restraints as well and ran over to stop him from opening the chest. Though it would be Nate who would unintentionally knock the key out of his hands as the ship began to be tossed and turned even further by the maelstrom.
"Rafe, I'm not-" Nate started.
"You didn't think about consequences when you went looking for fortune in El Dorado now did you? Huh?" One of Jones' men came at him and Rafe stabbed him in the chest before taking the sword back out with not an inch of remorse on his face. "What about Shambala? The Rub' al Khali Desert?"
"No, I didn't. But that's why I'm learning my lesson this time around. All of those moments…. If just one thing turned out differently I could have been joining the rest of the people back then that are 10-feet under now." Nate replied as one of Spinal's skeleton men had found his way where the main group was battling. "Get back!" He swiped at him, which only caused the skeleton to attack back, hitting him in the arm, causing him to slightly gasp out in pain from the stinging sensation of the cut across his arm. "I said get back damn it!"
Rafe tried to take the opening to strike Nate in the back, but Spinal had other plans, now going after Rafe.
Lightning struck not too far from where they were, causing everyone to look at the lightning blast. Well, everyone but Spinal, who could care less.
Purple energy began to surround him as he began to charge in, shield-first at Jones, overpowering him and sending him into a wall before relentlessly slicing him until eventually, Jones fought through the pain and fought back, relentlessly slicing at his bones.
"I'll grind yer bones into dust faster than you could ever think about killing me!" Jones said to the skeleton, who only laughed as the two began to fight each other again.
Meanwhile, Rafe and Jack were wrestling for the key that opened Dead Man's chest before Jack was able to use his quick wits to take the key back, using one of the loose boards and stepping on it to hit him where it really hurts: The family jewels. Grabbing at them with one hand, Rafe still attacks him with the other.
"You're trying to take somethin' that you don't even know what it's for. What if it's for….." Jack started before shrugging and adding, "I don't know, a pile of bones?"
"First of all dumba[censored, if that really were the case. Then you and Squidward over there wouldn't be constantly fighting for it. Do you take me for an idiot?"
"Yes?" Jack replied before he pointed behind Rafe. "Watch out!"
"Now you're just trying to pis-"
Rafe was suddenly grabbed and stabbed in the stomach by one of Davy Jones' men from behind.
"Rafe!" Nate called out, turning around to see what had happened to him as he fell to his knees, but was suddenly grabbed by the bony arm of a skeleton pirate. Luckily for him, Myron was able to save him. Though his sword swing was awful, it still got the job done.
"No. I'm not losing. Not when I'm so close!" Rafe said before beginning to gradually dislodge the sword, causing him to yell out in pain as he did, but also casing the aura initially surrounding him to return. And this time, it was larger.
The first thing he did was go after the crew member that attempted to kill him and stabbed him in the stomach multiple times, yelling as he did, breathing hard afterwards before putting his foot on one of his legs as support to take the sword out of his chest. Now he was about to go after Nate, Jack and Davy Jones, the latter two fighting for possession of Dead Man's Chest and its key until Richie blocked his path,
"I don't think so." Richie said before Rafe parried the sword strike and sliced him once before kicking him out of the way. The only thing saving the slice from being a potentially fatal, or at the very least, a seriously painful one, was the fact that he was still wearing his Gear outfit.
Kageyama struck two skeletons down while Hinata did the same to another behind him.
"You know, I'm kinda surprised." Hinata said.
"About what?" Kageyama asked as they looked around at the chaos that was still ensuing in the maelstrom, rapiers in hand.
"No offense, but I kinda thought your form would have been a lot worse."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean!?" Kageyama said before running at Spinal, catching the skeleton off guard before stabbing him numerous times. "Was that bad form?"
"Kageyama look out!"
Jones was about to show his gratitude by slicing his head clean open but was stopped by Nate, who stabbed him clean in the chest.
"Uh uh. You leave the kid outta this." Nate said.
"He should have never put himself in the situation then. In my eyes….. he's just another enemy for me to kill." Jones replied as if he wasn't just stabbed in the chest. He then began to turn around.
"The hell?" Jones suddenly swiped at him. "Oh crap!" Nate said as he ducked the swipe, narrowly avoiding getting decapitated.
Myron was heard yelling as he was swinging across the boat via one of the ropes and to Davy Jones in the head, only for the pirate to catch the racer and roar in his face, causing Myron to yell in horror before Jones pushed him away, causing him to fall to another ship. And in the middle of several of Davy Jones' men.
"Uh oh." He looked to have been in dire straits until Will and Elizabeth took them out.
"Are you alright, kid?" Will asked.
"Yeah. Thanks." Now he had to figure out how he was supposed to get back into the action on the other ship.
Rafe and Nate were back battling each other again while Spinal had his attention turned towards Jack and Jones.
"I almost destroyed my relationship with Elena multiple times over searching for fortune. My brother is in danger of dying over this treasure! I almost lost him once, I'm not losing him again! Rafe please, listen to me. You saw Avery and Tew and what happened to them when they tried to get it. This keeps up we might end up just like Sir Daniel over there. This treasure is not worth it. It's just gol-" Nate said, still playing a mostly defensive game, mostly parrying and blocking.
"NO. YOU LISTEN TO ME NATE! I'VE HAD EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE GIVEN TO ME ON A GODDAMN SILVER PLATTER! But not this. Oh no. After everything that's happened. With everything that's going on right now…. I earned this. AND NOBODY'S GONNA TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME! NOT YOU! NOT HIM! NOT SOME UNDEAD SKELETON PIRATE! NO ONE! DO YOU HEAR ME!?"
"Yeah, I think the whole seven seas could hear ya." Jack remarked.
"SHUT…. UP!" Both Jones and Rafe yelled at him.
"First time?" Nate asked Jack.
"The first by him." Jack replied.
"Good, so I don't gotta try to come up with some horrible joke to console you then."
Rafe, in a sudden spell of rage, yelled out before charging at Spinal, to the surprise of Jones, Jack and Nate. He parried the first couple of hits from the skeletal warrior before timing a well-timed strike to the head, chopping it off perfectly before he threw it overboard.
"Good f*cking riddance. I got tired of that stupid a*s laugh." Rafe remarked. "Now, where were we?"
As the four-way battled continued, Tsukishima, who was fighting by himself, seemed to have been able to hold his own well enough until he was finally able to get through and rejoin the others.
"You okay Tsukishima?" Hinata asked him.
"What does it look like? But anyway, where's Myron?" Tsukishima asked.
"I don't know. Last time I saw him, he tried to hit the squid guy over there. Then he got knocked down." Kageyama said.
And right on cue, he and Slazor made their reappearance. And right afterwards, the storm began to rock the boat with Avery's treasure on it heavily.
Music Stops
"No!" Rafe yelled out, causing him to push Nate, Jack and Jones out of the way. Even so, he still didn't see Slazor and the machine tripped him and Jones up before Nate stabbed the former in the arm and the latter finally picked up the key and opened Dead Man's chest.
"It's over Rafe. The treasure's gone." Nate said, finally taking the time to breathe heavily.
"The same goes to you Jones. Well, minus the treasure part." Jack said to him, the contents of Dead Man's Chest in his hand: Davy Jones' heart.
Rafe suddenly roared out again, creating an explosive wave that rocked the ship and knocked the chest, heart and key out of Jack's hands as he fell to the ground. Jones immediately went after them.
"Oh no you don't!" Jack said before he also pursued them. Now they were both wrestling for them.
"Rafe, what the hell man! You're gonna sink the whole damn ship!" Nate said.
"There it is again. Now you suddenly care about consequences. When this is ALL YOU AND YOUR BROTHER'S FAULT!" Rafe said as he dislodged the sword that he was stabbed by for a second time. "IT ALWAYS WAS!" He tackled him to the ground, with Nate trying to hold him back from being stabbed.
"Rafe, I don't know what that curse or whatever has done to you, but it's messing with your head. You're acting crazier than you normally do."
"No Nate. There is no curse. I know exactly what I'm doing."
Nate only shook his head. As much as he didn't want to believe it, it was becoming more and more likely that only one person was going to be leaving this ship alive out of the two of them. "En Garde, d*ckhead."
Future Earth(Saving Me)
Bennett's parents and members of the DGS and Intergalactic Alliance were battling against forces of the Gundrian Empire in a base on their home world. Helping them was Reagan, Dwayne and Doyle.
While the DGS and Intergalactic Alliance were wearing blue armored suits, barring Bennett's dad, Mark Bramble, human and alien alike. The Gundrian Empire, while also armored, still had their faces be seen, with their general appearance consisting of above-average length necks, horns on the top of their heads and circular ears that looked like black holes(A/N: Think of the ears from Frieza's Final Form). Their skin tones variated from different shades of red and orange. All of them, while not visually showing it as they weren't in that stage of the corruption, were all affected by Towa's magic, said magic completely forgoing any type of negotiation that was meant to take place before any conflict started.
A smoke grenade was just thrown by Doyle before he went in to knock out the ones that were disoriented from it.
One of them put an electricity-tipped staff in Reagan's back, shocking her for a bit before she turned around and punched said soldier in the face via the Power Glove that she was wearing over the suit.
Mark used the four doctor octopus-like cannons on the detachable harness he was wearing to fire green lasers.
"Push forward!" Carla Bramble, Bennett's mother commanded.
The Gundrian forces began to retreat. But it was all just to lead the IGA forces to their stronger units. One of them being….. a peacock on a cannon? And several more were next to those.
As soon as Doyle and the others with him noticed the cannon and who was on it, they immediately took action.
"Tell everyone to retreat. Now." Doyle said to Carla.
"What? We're on the verge of getting closer to winning this and you want us to go back?" Carla replied, looking at him as if he was insane.
"If you don't go back, everyone will die! If you want to be able to see Bennett again, you'll listen to me. Move!"
"How do you my son? I never told you anything abouy him."
Doyle realized what he did, but immediately decided to brush it off for now as the cannons were starting to fizzle with dark energy. "Look, we can worry about that later. Right now, you need to move."
"Not until you tell me how you know my son. And who you really are."
Doyle grunted in annoyance. They didn't have time for this. He threw a flashbang grenade right in her face, disorienting him but Carla, with her quick thinking, immediately activated one of the weapons from her wrist, which was short-ranged knockout gas, knocking him out.
"Men! Push forward! And take the others in for questioning." Carla called out before taking a few seconds to regain her vision and then taking Doyle back to her ship.
A few of the DGS forces grabbed Reagan and Dwayne.
"What the heck?" Dwayne said.
"What are you guys doing!? Have you lost your minds!? Look who's in front of us!" Reagan asked, trying to get free before punching them off. One of them shot her, changing the rifle to EMP mode and disabling her suit and glove before she was electrocuted by another with enough electricity to knock her out.
Dwayne tried to fight them off as well but it was a futile effort.
"We have our orders." One of the men said.
As Carla had put Doyle in her ship, an explosion was heard, causing her to turn around and quickly fly back. When she went back inside, she gasped, seeing that the area they were in was nothing more than just a wasteland of bodies, most of them being DGS and IGA.
She covered her mouth with one of her hands after seeing her husband.
"Welcome to the party. You're just in time." A voice said, that voice being Towa, who was alongside the peacock and the robed masked warrior that had the dead time patroller from earlier.
In a fit of anger, Carla began to fly towards and shoot at her, but was immediately punched to the ground hard by the robed warrior, noticeably also having a Grimoire in front of him. The punch was strong enough to damage her armor, leaving a crack in the chest.
"This is Carla from the DGS. The Gundrian Empire was stronger than we anticipated. They have some sort of-"
Back at DGS headquarters, Commander Crumb was listening to Carla. But she was cut off as nothing but static was heard after. Crumb was a slightly overweight man with gray hair and a gray mustache. He was wearing a blue uniform that signaled his high position in the DGS.
He pressed a button at the monitor he was at to try to reestablish connection to her. "Carla we didn't catch that. Say again?" No response. He tried again, reconnecting multiple times. "Carla? Carla!"
He turned around and closed the small donut box he had open on the desk. "Send reinforcements now! And this time make it the big guns! If the Gundrians wanna play hardball, then we'll give em exactly what they're lookin' for!"
Doyle started to regain consciousness. When he came to, he realized he was in a ship. Seeing as the door was still unlocked, he opened it. Stepping out of the ship, he saw the destroyed building outside and immediately went in to see what happened, taking the scroll out just in case he needed to make a quick exit. When he got there, he was stunned. Towa and the masked warriors had already left by the time he had gotten there. Closing his eyes, he took the scroll and made his way back to the Time Vault.
Time Vault
Doyle returned. When he looked around, the two people he hoped to find weren't there.
"Uncle Doyle! You alright?" Zak S. asked, seeing that he was by himself and assumed that he was hurt.
"Yeah. Yeah I'm fine, kid. You haven't seen Reagan and Dwayne have you?"
"I thought they were with you?" Zak S. replied, confused.
"Have any of you seen them?" He asked the others, including Kurita, Sena, Monta, Albedo and Becky B., who just came back from fixing their event, which involved the Time Force Rangers and ensuring that Eric Myers was able to acquire the powers of the Quantum Ranger and not anyone else.
"Seen who?" Sena asked.
"Dwayne and Reagan." He asked, his voice noticeably changing.
"If they're not with you then-" Supreme Kai of Time said, who was tending to Furuya, who was on the wrong side of a beatdown against Slade. She stopped when she saw him preparing to leave and go back to that point of history again.
"Doyle wait! That's not how that works!"
But it was too late. He was already gone.
"What do you mean by 'that's not how that works'? What happened?" Young Bennett asked as he and Cicini had returned with their progress on a new suit for the former
"He's going back to the point of history that he was just in, in an effort to stop what happened to Dwayne and Reagan."
"And if I had to take a good guess, it's not gonna work, is it?" Chris asked, speaking for the first time since Doyle came back. She shook her head in response.
"But if he's going back in time before it happened, why wouldn't it work?" Monta asked as he scratched his head, confused.
"When you travel to these events via the Scrolls of Eternity, you're not a part of that flow of time. Hence why this is considered a safe way of time traveling compared to when Trunks used his time machine to stop the Androids and kill Cell. Both of those instances created alternate timelines, which in turn makes more scrolls here. Yes, alternate timelines can and do exist, but the less, the better. Something like that should occur naturally, not forced, if you understand what I'm getting at." She began to explain.
"Basically no one should be changing history whenever they want to." Becky B. inferred.
"That's pretty much it. Trunks' purpose of doing so was noble, but not everyone is going to be that way. Which can lead to it being abused."
"Case and point, Mira and Towa." Zak S. said as Trunks had just returned in helping out in another time period where Adrien and company had come from.
"Funny enough, their method of time traveling is pretty much just as safe as ours. Partially because it's pretty much the same method that we use."
Doyle returned. "There has to be something else we can try. You know about this stuff better than pretty much all of us. What other options are out there?" He said to her.
She didn't want to go straight to telling him that there was nothing they could do. But she also didn't want to lie and give him false hope either. Thankfully, there was one thing she was able to come up with.
"Well, we have some Dragon Balls here. Shenron might just be the answer we're looking for."
"Shenron? What's going on? What happened?" Trunks asked.
"If this works, it won't matter." Doyle said to him before turning his attention back to the time lord. "What do we have to do?"
"Well this is interesting. I gotta see how this goes." Chris said.
Recreational Plaza, Conton City
The Dragon Ball Pedestal overlooked the plaza. Gathering the Dragon Balls just for Conton City(and previously Toki Toki City), Trunks, Doyle and the Supreme Kai of Time inserted all of them into the pedestal before summoning the large eternal dragon Shenron, which was indicated by the sky turning dark as well. Shenron towered over everyone in the area, leaving Doyle, Zak, Luz, Razer, Sophie and even Chris in awe.
"I am Shenron! I shall grant you any wish! Now, state what you desire!" Shenron said.
"Shenron, is it possible for you to bring Dwayne LaFontant and Reagan Ridley back to life?" Supreme Kai of Time asked.
"No, I cannot."
"What? Why not?" Doyle asked.
"I cannot revive those that are out of my reach."
"Out of your reach? Does that mean you could bring them here?"
"I also cannot fulfill this request."
"If they're alive, what's stopping you from bringing them here? You said you could grant any wish!"
"I can only grant wishes within my power. Moving beings dimensionally and universally are not within my power. Now, state another request."
"Can you at least tell us where they are?"
"I am unsure. Both of whom you speak of no longer reside in this dimension or universe, meaning that they are out of my range of knowledge. And because of this, I am unsure of whether they are alive or not."
"And I'm willing to bet you can't take us to them either."
"No. I cannot."
"If we were to find out where they went, is there something that you could do to help them?"
"Only if they are within my aforementioned reach. Now, state your wish. And quickly!"
Doyle was trying to think of something but he couldn't. "I'm out of ideas."
"Can you bring everyone that's in the Time Vault back to the same health they were in before we started fixing these events?"
"Yes. Consider your wish granted." Shenron's eyes glowed red for a few seconds before everyone that was hurt in the Time Vault at the time, even if it was minor, were all brought back to full health.
"Wow. It feels like I just got the best sleep of my life for some reason." Courtney said as her group was looking at their next event back in the Time Vault.
"Yeah me too." Aomine said.
"Same here." Riley said.
"I thought I was the only one." Todd said.
"Huh. Well that's strange. But, I guess we shouldn't question it huh?" Weiss said.
"Your wish has been granted! Farewell!" Shenron said before beginning to disappear, the Dragon Balls beginning to scatter throughout the city.
"Well, I guess those limitations explain why you couldn't just ask Shenron to fix everything." Zak said.
"Yeah. Shenron's got some power, but even he has limitations on what he can do." Trunks said.
"What else can we try to get them back?" Doyle asked Supreme Kai of Time.
"Shenron was the only idea I had unfortunately. I'm sorry." She answered.
"There has to be something you can do! Please, figure something out!"
"Doyle, believe me if I could do something I would, but I can't."
"You have control over time. You're telling me there's nothing you can do?" Luz asked in disbelief.
The Kai only shook her head.
*Confessional*
Luz(Storm Kings):
"I don't believe it. Look, I know Jack Horner died the last season that I was on but that was different for two reasons. One, he was a bad guy that honestly deserved what he got. And two, it was the way he died. With this? We don't even know if they died or not. That's the strangest part about this. They're just…. gone."
*End Confessional*
*Confessional*
Zak Saturday(Storm Kings):
"I wish I could be positive about this, but if a goddess herself says she can't do anything, then I'm not sure what we could do. I know this has to hurt for him. For one, it was on his watch. Even if it actually wasn't his fault, he'll believe that it is. Especially with what happened to his parents and Van Rook. And two, I know how he feels about Reagan. And as gross as I kinda think it is, I can't help but feel at least a little happy for him after what happened with Abbey. And unlike her, she actually isn't some greedy jerk. The first contestants that actually die on the show, and it happens like this? That was just supposed to be something we talk about being afraid of happening! You know, like the boogeyman coming to get you, or getting cooties. Not the same thing but I think you get what I'm trying to say. It wasn't actually supposed to happen…."
Zak said before shaking his head.
*End Confessional*
*Confessional*
Razer(Storm Kings):
"I wish there was something I could do. Truly. I could hear the pain that was in his voice. On his face. If it wasn't for the fact that Penny's parts were spared, she'd be the same way. One way or another, this has to end."
*End Confessional*
Eventually, everyone that was at the pedestal returns back to the time nest.
"Alright! Let's check on the scores of the-" Chris started before Doyle suddenly flew at him, getting in his face.
"Uncle! Stop!" Zak S. said, running at him to stop him before Razer stopped him.
Doyle pointed at Chris. "This….. all of this. Morty. People getting hurt. And Dwayne. And Reagan….." Doyle said before shaking his head, trying his hardest to contain his anger and not do something he'll regret. "This is all on you. And I hope you understand that."
"Yeah. I do. Look, I'm sorry man. I-"
Doyle held up a hand to him. "Don't." He went to Zak and the others. "Come on, what scroll are you guys doing?"
"Doyle, you-" Sophie started before Doyle interrupted her.
"I'm fine. The only way this is going to get fixed is if we stop Mira and Towa. Now let's get going."
"Well, I guess if there's one bright spot about this, the show won't get cancelled because you can't get sued because of contracts. Yay us." Rally said sarcastically after Doyle and the others left.
"I'll….. be right back." Supreme Kai of Time said before leaving the Time Vault, and then the Time Nest after.
*Confessional*
Lucy(Radical Rats):
"You know the worst part about this? He'll get away with this. Just once do I want him to get what he deserves. Not saying he has to, you know, kick the bucket, just something impactful. What, I don't know. Just throwing the idea out there."
*End Confessional*
"Supreme Kai of Time's got the right idea. We'll be back too." Chris said, clearing his throat as the cameras cut to black.
A/N: I decided to split this into two additional parts here. I figured this would be long because of the fact that this is very, very action oriented compared to many of my previous chapters, but I didn't expect it to get this big lol. So yeah. I tried to find the best spot to split it up and this was what I chose. Not the greatest split, but hopefully, it served its purpose. I'll have more to say when this concludes for real.
